description: Throughput is one of the key performance indicators for manufacturing systems, and its improvement remains an interesting topic in both industrial and academic fields. One way to achieve improvement is to reduce the downtime of unreliable machines. Along this direction, it is natural to pose questions about the optimal allocation of improvement effort to a set of machines and failure modes. This article develops mixed-integer linear programming models to improve system throughput by reducing downtime in the case of multi-stage serial lines. The models take samples of processing time, uptime and downtime as input, generated from random distributions or collected from real system. To improve computational efficiency while guaranteeing the exact optimality of the solution, algorithms based on Benders Decomposition and discrete-event relationships of serial lines are proposed. Numerical cases show that the solution approach can significantly improve efficiency. The proposed modeling and algorithm is applied to throughput improvement of various systems, including a long line and a multi-failure system, and also to the downtime bottleneck detection problem. Comparison with state-of-the-art approaches shows the effectiveness of the approach. Supplementary materials are available for this article. Go to the publisher’s online edition of IISE Transactions.

description: The present study aims to analyse the effect of climate and land cover changes on the discharge of the Upper Beas River basin. The study used climate, soil, land use/land cover, and elevation data in the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to estimate the discharge that is calibrated and validated using the observed discharge data of the Thalout gauge site. The findings suggest that basin hydrology is more sensitive to climate change than land cover changes. Mean annual discharge shows a rise between 0.31 and 9.65% under climate change scenarios, but it may decline by 9% under land cover change scenarios by the mid-21st century. Under all the climate change and land cover scenarios, seasonal variations in discharge are more prominent than annual changes. Water availability would be more in pre-monsoon season because of warming in the future. These changes would be beneficial in the short run, but may adversely affect the water availability in the long run.

description: We prove local well-posedness for the periodic derivative nonlinear Schrodinger's equation, which is L^2 critical, in Fourier-Lebesgue spaces which scale like H^s(T) for s>0. In particular we close the existing gap in the subcritical theory by improving the result of Grunrock and Herr [25], which established local well-posedness in Fourier-Lebesgue spaces which scale like H^s(T) for s>1 . We achieve this result by a delicate analysis of the structure of the solution and the construction of an adapted nonlinear submanifold of a suitable function space. Together these allow us to construct the unique solution to the given subcritical data. This constructive procedure is inspired by the theory of para-controlled distributions developed by Gubinelli-Imkeller-Perkowski [26] and Cantellier-Chouk [10] in the context of stochastic PDE. Our proof and results however, are purely deterministic.

description: This paper ascertains the global topological structure of the set of subharmonics of arbitrary order of the periodic predator-prey model introduced in López-Gómez, Ortega and Tineo in 1996. By constructing the iterates of the monodromy operator of the system, it is shown that the system admits subharmonics of all orders for the appropriate ranges of values of the parameters. Then, some sharp results of topological nature in the context of global bifurcation theory provide us with the fine topological structure of the components of subharmonics emanating from the T-periodic coexistence state.

description: Hanging about a hypothetical connections between the ground state vector for some special spin systems and the alternating-sign matrices, we have found a numerical evidence for the fact that the numbers of the states of the fully packed loop model with fixed link-patterns coincide with the components of the ground state vector of the dense O$(1)$ loop model considered by Batchelor, de Gier and Nienhuis. Our conjecture generalizes in a sense the conjecture of Bosley and Fidkowski, refined by Cohn and Propp, and proved by Wieland.

description: The ambient solar wind conditions in interplanetary space and in the near-Earth environment are determined by activity on the Sun. Steady solar wind streams modulate the propagation behaviour of interplanetary coronal mass ejections and are themselves an important driver of recurrent geomagnetic storm activity. The knowledge of the ambient solar wind flows and fields is thus an essential component of successful space weather forecasting. Here, we present an implementation of an operational framework for operating, validating and optimizing models of the ambient solar wind flow on the example of Carrington Rotation 2077. We reconstruct the global topology of the coronal magnetic field using the potential field source surface model (PFSS) and the Schatten current sheet model (SCS), and discuss three empirical relationships for specifying the solar wind conditions near the Sun, namely the Wang-Sheeley (WS) model, the distance from the coronal hole boundary (DCHB) model, and the Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA) model. By adding uncertainty in the latitude about the sub-Earth point, we select an ensemble of initial conditions and map the solutions to Earth by the Heliospheric Upwind eXtrapolation (HUX) model. We assess the forecasting performance from a continuous variable validation, and find that the WSA model most accurately predicts the solar wind speed time series. We note that the process of ensemble forecasting slightly improves the forecasting performance of all solar wind models investigated. We conclude that the implemented framework is well suited for studying the relationship between coronal magnetic fields and the properties of the ambient solar wind flow in the near-Earth environment.

description: This paper empirically assesses the sequential relationships among firm strategic factors, FDI activity, and economic performance for a sample of U.S.-based Multinational agribusinesses. The most important findings of this research is a positive direct effect of FDI on performance, the complementary effect between FDI and firm strategic factors (positive and significant interaction terms) on performance, and the positive effect of FDI on performance given some thresholds of firm strategic factors. Specifically, it provides insights about the direct effect of FDI on performance, as well as about the joint effect of firm size and FDI, marketing intensity and FDI, and capital intensity and FDI on performance. These findings provide evidence that FDI activity is an important factor for U.S. agribusiness financial strength.

Amictus

description: Amictus sp. near tigrinus Austen, 1937
Material: One specimen: Al Bahhath 20.V.2002 (1Ψ).
Distribution: Palaearctic: Palestine.
This species seems to be rare species in Jordan. This species looks as an intermediate according to the first posterior cell between A. virgatus, which has first posterior cell open and A. validus, which has first posterior cell closed and stalked. However, A. tigrinus has the first posterior cell closed near the wing margin (Austen, 1937). This specimen may be aberrant since it has three submarginal cells in the left wing and four in right wing.

description: In the quantum rotor model with random exchange interactions having a non-zero mean, three phases, a 1) phase (Bose) glass, 2) superfluid, and 3) Mott insulator, meet at a bi-critical point. We demonstrate that proximity to the bi-critical point and the coupling between the energy landscape and the dissipative degrees of freedom of the phase glass lead to a metallic state at T=0. Consequently, the phase glass is unique in that it represents a concrete example of a metallic state that is mediated by disorder, even in 2D. We propose that the experimentally observed metallic phase which intervenes between the insulator and the superconductor in a wide range of thin films is in actuality a phase glass.

description: Constant market shares (CMS) analysis compares the actual export growth performance of a country with the performance that would have been achieved if the country had maintained its exports relative to some standard. The approach was first applied to international trade in the 1950s and has generally been used to analyse trading patterns and, in particular, the extent to which poor export performance can be attributed to a loss of ‘competitiveness’. However, the approach has been open to objections as a tool of description and diagnosis. Recent revisions appear to meet objections concerning its role as a descriptive tool. However, CMS analysis remains open to objections as a diagnostic tool owing to the strict theoretical conditions required to yield an unambiguous interpretation. In this paper we generalise the constant market share framework based on recent revisions by Jepma (1986). Alternative models are derived and interpreted with particular attention to the underlying theoretical conditions required for diagnostic interpretation. We conclude that the prospects for CMS analysis as a diagnostic tool depend upon further research into its theoretical foundations, the extent to which the implicit aggregation assumptions can be tested and, of immediate concern, development of a computer program. Keywords: CMS analysis, trade, aggregation, Armington model.
An Investigation into the Impact of Rotational and Two-Dimensional Linear Projectile Motion on the Structural Integrity of the Musculoskeletal System

description: The effects of varying initial angular velocities on the force a spheroid projectile exerts on a hard surface was studied. The force was quantified by identifying the relationship between the torque and the perpendicular force acting upon impact. In this study, a more specific scenario was investigated: the ability of spheroid projectiles to break a human femur. This was accomplished by using a pitching machine directed at a wooden board to simulate such a scenario. After data was collected and analyzed, literature values of breaking force were used along with the data to determine how fast a ball must spin or travel to break a femur. It was determined that a ball must rotate 16115 rad/s or travel 207.365m/s to break a femur which are both unrealistic speeds.

 Type species. Helix vinitincta Cox, 1868.
 Diagnosis. Shell small to very small, brown to dark reddish brown, strongly biconcave with a deeply depressed spire, last whorl greatly inflated. Protoconch sculpture finely cancellate comprising up to 40 very closely spaced, fine spiral lirae intersected by numerous fine radial threads, forming minute beads at their intersections; teleoconch with bold, very crowded to widely spaced sinuate radial ribs; microsculpture cancellate with prominent microradial ribs and low microspiral cords. Umbilicus narrow U-shaped. Penial sculpture of long, simple or anastomosing, longitudinal pilasters (all taxa) with small crowded pilasters above the epiphallic entrance. Verge absent.
 Distribution and habitat. Richmond River, north-eastern NSW to Mt Tamborine, south-eastern Queensland; found in lowland to mid-altitude rainforest on volcanics, living on the underside of logs.
 Remarks. Gyrocochlea Hedley, 1924 was restricted by Stanisic (1990) to include only G. vinitincta (Cox, 1868) (type species), G. convoluta Hedley, 1924, G. paucilamellata Stanisic, 1990 and G. curtisiana (Hedley, 1912). G. curtisiana is here excluded from Gyrocochlea on the basis of significant differences in protoconch sculpture (coarsely and broadly cancellate) and general shell morphology (less depressed spire, looser coiling) when compared with these species. The unpublished results of this study, which examined the protoconchs of nautiliform charopids from the entire eastern Australian region, indicate that G. curtisiana belongs to a clade widespread in southern and central Queensland. However, re-assignment to a new genus is delayed pending formal revision of these charopids.
 Stanisic et al. (2010) listed 34 species (including 22 newly described) under the Gyrocochlea ‘umbrella’ as a provisional ‘roadmap’ to revisionary studies of these nautiliform charopids. While some of these species have been dealt with in the present publication and re-assigned to new genera, unpublished evidence gained through the current project indicates, that apart from the three core species mentioned above, all remaining species listed in Stanisic et al. (2010) will eventually have to be re-allocated to other genera.

description: I study type II critical collapse in the spherically symmetric gravitating magnetic monopole system. This is an Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs system with two matter fields: a field parametrizing the scalar field gauged under SU(2) and a field parametrizing the gauge field. This system offers interesting differences compared to what is commonly found for type II collapse in other systems. For example, instead of the critical solution sitting between collapse and complete dispersal of the matter fields, on the non-black hole side of the critical solution, the matter fields settle down to a static and stable configuration. More interesting, however, is that I find strong evidence for the existence of two critical solutions, each with their own set of scaling and echoing exponents, which I determine numerically.

description: Recent studies examine the impact of the built environment on health outcomes such as obesity. Several studies find for certain populations that access to unhealthy food has a positive effect on obesity, whereas access to healthy choices has a negative effect. Given the growth and popularity of locally grown food, we examine how individual weight outcomes are affected by access to direct-to-consumer local food. After controlling for potential endogeneity, we find that greater access to local food has a negative association with individual weight outcomes. We also find a negative association with greater weight loss over a one-year period. These results provide evidence that local food access can have potential indirect benefits.

description: Time-stamp aware anomaly detection in traffic videos is an essential task for the advancement of the intelligent transportation system. Anomaly detection in videos is a challenging problem due to sparse occurrence of anomalous events, inconsistent behavior of a different type of anomalies and imbalanced available data for normal and abnormal scenarios. In this paper, we present a three-stage pipeline to learn the motion patterns in videos to detect a visual anomaly. First, the background is estimated from recent history frames to identify the motionless objects. This background image is used to localize the normal/abnormal behavior within the frame. Further, we detect an object of interest in the estimated background and categorize it into anomaly based on a time-stamp aware anomaly detection algorithm. We also discuss the challenges faced in improving performance over the unseen test data for traffic anomaly detection. Experiments are conducted over Track 3 of NVIDIA AI city challenge 2019. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in detecting time-stamp aware anomalies in traffic/road videos.

description: We report inelastic time-of-flight and triple-axis neutron scattering measurements of the excitation spectrum of the coupled antiferromagnetic spin-1 Heisenberg chain system CsNiCl3. Measurements over a wide range of wave-vector transfers along the chain confirm that above T_N CsNiCl3 is in a quantum-disordered phase with an energy gap in the excitation spectrum. The spin correlations fall off exponentially with increasing distance with a correlation length xi=4.0(2) sites at T=6.2K. This is shorter than the correlation length for an antiferromagnetic spin-1 Heisenberg chain at this temperature, suggesting that the correlations perpendicular to the chain direction and associated with the interchain coupling lower the single-chain correlation length. A multi-particle continuum is observed in the quantum-disordered phase in the region in reciprocal space where antiferromagnetic fluctuations are strongest, extending in energy up to twice the maximum of the dispersion of the well-defined triplet excitations. We show that the continuum satisfies the Hohenberg-Brinkman sum rule. The dependence of the multi-particle continuum on the chain wave-vector resembles that of the two-spinon continuum in antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains. This suggests the presence of spin-1/2 degrees of freedom in CsNiCl3 for T < 12K, possibly caused by multiply-frustrated interchain interactions.

description: Homologenus A. Milne-Edwards, in Henderson, 1888
 Remarks. Homologenus is a genus composed of small species living in deep waters, often greater than 1000 m, on muddy or sandy substrates. Eleven species are known from the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans: H. rostratus (A. Milne-Edwards, 1880) (Caribbean Islands); H. braueri Doflein, 1904 (Somalian coast); H. malayensis Ihle, 1912 (Indonesia); H. broussei Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1981 (French Polynesia); H. asper Zarenkov, in Zarenkov & Khodkina, 1983 (East Pacific Marcus-Necker seamounts); H. donghaiensis Chen, 1986 (East China Sea); H. orientalis Zarenkov, 1990 (East Pacific seamounts); H. levii Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995 (New Caledonia); H. wallis Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995 (Wallis and Futuna Islands); H. boucheti Guinot & Richer de Forges, 1995 (Madere, eastern Atlantic); and H. namakae Ng, 2016 (Hawaii). Two new species from the South China Sea (H. exilis n. sp. and H. brevipes n. sp.) allied to H. malayensis and H. donghaiensis are described below.
 The two new species of Homologenus described here are represented by both sexes, and allow us to observe some sexually dimorphic features. In females, the armature on P2–P4 (Figs. 9A, 10A, 12E–G, 16A, B, 19A–C, I–K) is stronger and more prominent than in males (Figs. 9B, 10B, 12I–K, 16C, 19E–G, M–O). The spines on the pleonal somites 2–5 in males (Fig. 21A, B, D, E, G, H), however, are always stronger and more prominent than in females (Figs. 11F, 15F, 17F).
 Of interest is that all specimens of H. brevipes have been collected from deep waters just off the narrow continental shelf of eastern and southeastern Taiwan; whilst those of H. exilis are from off Tungsha Island, some 400 km westsouthwest of Taiwan.

Discovering Bands from Graphs

description: Discovering the underlying structure of a given graph is one of the fundamental goals in graph mining. Given a graph, we can often order vertices in a way that neighboring vertices have a higher probability of being connected to each other. This implies that the edges form a band around the diagonal in the adjacency matrix. Such structure may rise for example if the graph was created over time: each vertex had an active time interval during which the vertex was connected with other active vertices. The goal of this paper is to model this phenomenon. To this end, we formulate an optimization problem: given a graph and an integer $K$, we want to order graph vertices and partition the ordered adjacency matrix into $K$ bands such that bands closer to the diagonal are more dense. We measure the goodness of a segmentation using the log-likelihood of a log-linear model, a flexible family of distributions containing many standard distributions. We divide the problem into two subproblems: finding the order and finding the bands. We show that discovering bands can be done in polynomial time with isotonic regression, and we also introduce a heuristic iterative approach. For discovering the order we use Fiedler order accompanied with a simple combinatorial refinement. We demonstrate empirically that our heuristic works well in practice.

description: We use observational data from 22 elementary schools and over 48,000 child-day observations to examine the relationship between the number of fruit and vegetable items and the consumption patterns of children during school lunch. We find that each additional fruit or vegetable item that is offered increases the fraction of children who eat at least one serving of fruits and vegetables by 12 percent. We also use our observational data to provide practical information about which items are most likely to be eaten by children during lunch and compare this to the cost and nutritional quality of these items.

description: Ausgangslage: Jugendarbeit fördert die non-formale und informelle Bildung von Kindern und Jugendlichen und unterstützt deren Persönlichkeitsentwicklung. Das Sekundarstufenzentrum Burghalde in Baden integriert seit August 2021 die Jugendarbeit täglich in den Schulalltag, um die Freizeitgestaltung und das freiwillige Engagement der Schülerinnen und Schüler (SuS) zu fördern. Im Rahmen einer Evaluierung (EJuBU) wurde das Angebot der Jugendarbeit untersucht. Dieser Artikel präsentiert die Teilergebnisse der Evaluation zur Wirkung der Jugendarbeit auf die Bildungsprozesse der SuS und das Lernumfeld. Methoden: Eine Datentriangulation mittels verschiedener Methoden war die Ausgangslage der Evaluation. Die Erfassung der hier vorgestellten Wirkungen erfolgte mittels einer systematischen Recherche und qualitativer Inhaltsanalysen eines Fokusgruppeninterviews mit den Akteuren der Schule und 21 Einzelinterviews mit SuS. Die Datenanalyse wurde mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse nach Kuckartz/Rädiker (2022) durchgeführt. Ergebnisse und Interpretation: Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Jugendarbeit an der Schule Burghalde sowohl die Bildungsprozesse als auch das ganzheitliche Lernumfeld positiv beeinflusst. Sie fördert die Kompetenzentwicklung und persönliche Entwicklung der SuS und trägt zu einem harmonischen Schulklima bei. Es besteht jedoch die Gefahr einer «Scholarisierung» und «Sozialpädagogisierung» der Jugendarbeit aufgrund der engen Verzahnung mit dem Schulalltag. Die diskutierten Befunde bieten Reflexionsangebote für die Soziale Arbeit und speziell für die Weiterentwicklung der Jugendarbeit im schulischen Kontext.

description: Genetic and environmental factors are traditionally seen as the sole causes of congenital anomalies. In this paper we introduce a third possible cause, namely random "manufacturing" discrepancies with respect to ``design'' values. A clear way to demonstrate the existence of this component is to ``shut'' the two others and to see whether or not there is remaining variability. Perfect clones raised under well controlled laboratory conditions fulfill the conditions for such a test. Carried out for four different species, the test reveals a variability remainder of the order of 10%-20% in terms of coefficient of variation. As an example, the CV of the volume of E.coli bacteria immediately after binary fission is of the order of 10%. In short, ``manufacturing'' discrepancies occur randomly, even when no harmful mutation or environmental factors are involved. Not surprisingly, there is a strong connection between congenital defects and infant mortality. In the wake of birth there is a gradual elimination of defective units and this screening accounts for the post-natal fall of infant mortality. Apart from this trend, post-natal death rates also have humps and peaks associated with various inabilities and defects.\qL In short, infant mortality rates convert the case-by-case and mostly qualitative problem of congenital malformations into a global quantitative effect which, so to say, summarizes and registers what goes wrong in the embryonic phase. Based on the natural assumption that for simple organisms (e.g. rotifers) the manufacturing processes are shorter than for more complex organisms (e.g. mammals), fewer congenital anomalies are expected. Somehow, this feature should be visible on the infant mortality rate. How this conjecture can be tested is outlined in our conclusion.

description: In a Multistage Manufacturing Process (MMP), multiple types of sensors are deployed to collect intermediate product quality measurements after each stage of manufacturing. This study aims at modeling the relationship between these quality outputs of mixed profiles and sparse effective process inputs. We propose an analytical framework based on four process characteristics: (i) every input only affects the outputs of the same and the later stages; (ii) the outputs from all stages are smooth functional curves or images; (iii) only a small number of inputs influence the outputs; and (iv) the inputs cause a few variation patterns on the outputs. We formulate an optimization problem that simultaneously estimates the effects of process inputs on the outputs across the entire MMP. An ADMM consensus algorithm is developed to solve this problem. This algorithm is highly parallelizable and can handle a large amount of data of mixed types obtained from multiple stages. The ability of this algorithm in estimations, selecting effective inputs, and identifying the variation patterns of each stage is validated with simulation experiments.
Dephasing via stochastic absorption: A case study in Aharonov-Bohm oscillations

description: The Aharonov-Bohm ring has been the mainstay of mesoscopic physics research since its inception. In this paper we have dwelt on the problem of dephasing of AB oscillations using a phenomenological model based on stochastic absorption. To calculate the conductance in the presence of inelastic scattering we have used the method due to Brouwer and Beenakker. We have shown that conductance is symmetric under flux reversal and visibility of AB oscillations decay to zero as a function of the incoherence parameter thus signalling dephasing in the system. Some comments are made on the relative merits of stochastic absorption with respect to optical potential model, which have been used to mimic dephasing.

description: COMPARISONS BETWEEN M. EURYXANTHUS AND OTHER ELAPIDS
 None of the karyotypes reported for elapids from the New World represents the ancestral karyotype in all details (2 n = 36, with 16 macrochromosomes and 20 microchromosomes). However, the karyotype of M. euryxanthus (2 n = 34, with 14 macrochromosomes and 20 microchromosomes) is close to this condition, with only one fewer pair of macrochromosomes. In addition, the first five pairs of macrochromosomes appear to be very similar to those in the common, ancient snake karyotype as found in many members of the Colubridae (reviewed by Cole and Hardy, 2019). In particular, pair 1, the largest metacentric chromosome in M. euryxanthus, appears to be the same as pair 1 in the ancestral karyotype, and this chromosome has been found in only two other species of coralsnakes. It occurs in the South American Micrurus surinamensis (see Gutiérrez et al., 1988) and the Central American Micrurus mipartitus (see Gutiérrez and Bolaños, 1979), but none of the other coralsnakes of the Western Hemisphere that have been karyotyped. In fact, the karyotype of M. mipartitus is basically identical to that of Micruroides euryxanthus. This is consistent with the phylogenetic conclusion (Slowinski, 1995; Castoe et al., 2007) that Micruroides euryxanthus represents the earliest clade of New World coralsnakes that is the sister taxon to all the others, and suggests that the presence of the large metacentric macrochromosome is retained from the ancestral condition. The presence of apparently the same macrochromosome in M. surinamensis and M. mipartitus may also be from retention of the ancestral condition, and its absence from other New World coralsnakes may reflect a historic transformation by means of centric fission to being represented in the other species as in M. tener (fig. 1B).
