description: In this day and age the “magic art” of credit creation is performed on an international scale, fostering a great amount of liquidity held by banks, enterprises and individuals all residing outside the U.S., which forms what is known as the Eurodollar market. There is unanimous agreement that this transmits and amplifies inflationary pressures operating inside the U.S. It has also been argued that the Eurodollar can hinder domestic monetary policies outside the U.S. Furthermore, it is claimed that the Eurodollar market is used to finance speculative attacks agains national currencies and contributes to the ever widening the dollar as the currency of intervention on foreign exchange markets. The present paper examines these charges. To do so, the author traces the behaviour of domestic money markets to find the sources creating the international liquidity base, or international monetary base, and see what use the international money markets make of this base.

description: ABSTRACT PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to review the concepts of quality and its link to health. Also, the ways of assessing the health services are provided and the investigation of questions such as the methodology for assessing health quality, the need for quality assessment and the efficiency of its systems. MATERIAL- METHOD To collect and analyze the information presented in this paper, a research was done to the web with the Google search engine as well as the Google Scholar database where key words such as Health, Health Quality, ISO, Health Services, Assessment were used. RESULTS Quality, takes different definitions without a strict interpretation of the term. Due to the fact that the definition of quality is multidimensional term , several researchers and scientists have tried to approach the issue by giving their own definition. Apart from that, it is equally important to assess and measure the quality of health, for that reason , measurement and evaluation of these methods are summarized in this study. It is imperative need that the protocol should be followed in every medical act so as to ensure the highest quality of health is provided to the patients . CONCLUSIONS Evaluating the methods and eliminating as far as possible the factors that negatively affect the quality of health are considered necessary. The provision of high-quality health services increases the prestige of the Hospital Institution as well as the patient's trust towards the doctors. At the same time, health professionals perform more confidently. Key Words: Health, Health Quality, ISO, Health Services, Assessment

description: In order to increase road safety, among the visual and manual distractions, modern intelligent vehicles need also to detect cognitive distracted driving (i.e., the drivers mind wandering). In this study, the influence of cognitive processes on the drivers gaze behavior is explored. A novel image-based representation of the driver's eye-gaze dispersion is proposed to estimate cognitive distraction. Data are collected on open highway roads, with a tailored protocol to create cognitive distraction. The visual difference of created shapes shows that a driver explores a wider area in neutral driving compared to distracted driving. Thus, support vector machine (SVM)-based classifiers are trained, and 85.2% of accuracy is achieved for a two-class problem, even with a small dataset. Thus, the proposed method has the discriminative power to recognize cognitive distraction using gaze information. Finally, this work details how this image-based representation could be useful for other cases of distracted driving detection.

description: After a generation in which economic analysis was unduly influenced by the famous smile of the “veil of money”, it has become clear since the 1950s that money and other financial instruments “matter” in the sense that the course of real economic development may be considerably influenced by a country’s financial structure and activities. The financial structure even in many now developed countries up to the mid-19th century was a situation in which the overwhelming majority of financing was direct, taking place between ultimate savers and prospective users of funds. In the 20th century, however, indirect financing in which financial institutions interpose themselves between ultimate savers and ultimate investors, has come to account for an increasing proportion of total external financing and now is of considerably greater importance than direct financing. The present paper studies the development of financial institutions in the postwar period and observes their relationship to national product and to capital formation. JEL: G20, O16, N22, N24

description: Recently, a new family of symmetry-protected higher-order topological insulators has been proposed and was shown to host lower-dimensional boundary states. However, with the existence of the strong disorder in the bulk, the crystal symmetry is broken, and the associated corner states are disappeared. It is well known that the emergence of robust edge states and quantized transport can be induced by adding sufficient disorders into a topologically trivial insulator, that is the so-called topological Anderson insulator. The question is whether disorders can also cause the higher-order topological phase. This is not known so far, because interactions between disorders and the higher-order topological phases are completely different from those with the first-order topological system. Here, we demonstrate theoretically that the disorderinduced higher-order topological corner state and quantized fraction corner charge can appear in a modified Haldane model. In experiments, we construct the classical analog of such higherorder topological Anderson insulators using electric circuits and observe the disorder-induced corner state through the voltage measurement. Our work defies the conventional view that the disorder is detrimental to the higher-order topological phase, and offers a feasible platform to investigate the interaction between disorders and higher-order topological phases.

description: This paper addresses the conference themes by describing a Maori commercial fishing enterprise pursuing innovation that will deliver commercial added value while caring for the environment. In 2013 Cawthron Institute and industry partners Waikawa Fishing Company were granted six years’ Ministry for Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) funding to investigate two options for new directions for New Zealand’s scampi (Metanephrops challengeri) fishery beyond the practices of the current deep water trawl fishery. In this paper we detail the economic rationale for this research, and report progress in the development of innovations for scampi aquaculture and pot fishing industries.
Fields of an ultra-relativistic beam of charged particles between parallel plates. Exact 2D solutions by the method of images and applications to the HL-LHC

description: Exact 2D analytic expressions for E and B fields and their potentials created by a linear beam of relativistic charged particles between infinite perfectly conductive plates and ferromagnetic poles are derived. The solutions are obtained by summing an infinite sequence of fields from linear charge-images and current-images in complex space. Knowledge of the normal component of the E field on the conductor surface makes it possible to calculate the induced electric charge surface density. In addition, we derive within an improved linear approximation new analytical expressions for fields near the beam in the case of an arbitrary beam offset from the median plane. The mathematical features of exact solutions and limitations for the applicability of linear approximations are specified.The primary goals of the future high-luminosity p-p and heavy-ion LHC programme are the search for yet unobserved effects of physics beyond the SM, searches for rare or low-sensitivity processes in the Higgs sector, and probing in more detail the mechanism of EW symmetry breaking. This programme relies on the stable operation of the accelerator. However, as the beam luminosity increases, a number of destabilizing phenomena occur, in particular field emission, enhancing the electron cloud effect. For the case of a proton beam, we apply the exact 2D solution for estimating the intensity of electron field emission activated by the electric field of the beam in collimators of the future high-luminosity LHC. Calculation shows that the field emission intensity is very sensitive to a collimator surface roughness. In addition, with a relatively small and accidental beam displacement from the median path, about 20% of the collimator half-gap, the emission intensity increases by a factor of 1.E+7. This will partially neutralize the beam space charge, violating acceleration dynamics and enhancing instability effects.

Mass Modeling of Disk Galaxies: Constraints, Degeneracies and Adiabatic Contraction

description: This paper addresses available constraints on mass models fitted to rotation curves. Mass models of disk galaxies have well-known degeneracies, that prevent a unique mass decomposition. The most notable is due to the unknown value of the stellar mass-to-light ratio (the disk-halo degeneracy); even with this known, degeneracies between the halo parameters themselves may prevent an unambiguous determination of the shape of the dark halo profile, which includes the inner density slope of the dark matter halo. The latter is often referred to as the ``cusp-core degeneracy''. We explore constraints on the disk and halo parameters and apply these to four mock and six observed disk galaxies with high resolution and extended rotation curves. Our full set of constraints consists of mass-to-light (M/L) ratios from stellar population synthesis models based on B-R colors, constraints on halo parameters from N-body simulations, and constraining the halo virial velocity to be less than the maximum observed velocity. These constraints are only partially successful in lifting the cusp-core degeneracy. The effect of adiabatic contraction of the halo by the disk is to steepen cores into cusps and reduce the best-fit halo concentration and M/L values (often significantly). We also discuss the effect of disk thickness, halo flattening, distance errors, and rotation curve error values on mass modeling. Increasing the imposed minimum rotation curve error from typically low, underestimated values to more realistic estimates decreases the chi-square substantially and makes distinguishing between a cuspy or cored halo profile even more difficult. In spite of the degeneracies and uncertainties present, our constrained mass modeling favors sub-maximal disks (i.e., a dominant halo) at 2.2 disk scale lengths, with Vdisk/Vtot < 0.6.

description: We show that the confining property of the one-gluon propagator, in Coulomb gauge, is linked to the unbroken realization of a remnant gauge symmetry which exists in this gauge. An order parameter for the remnant gauge symmetry is introduced, and its behavior is investigated in a variety of models via numerical simulations. We find that the color-Coulomb potential, associated with the gluon propagator, grows linearly with distance both in the confined and - surprisingly - in the high-temperature deconfined phase of pure Yang-Mills theory. We also find a remnant symmetry-breaking transition in SU(2) gauge-Higgs theory which completely isolates the Higgs from the (pseudo)confinement region of the phase diagram. This transition exists despite the absence, pointed out long ago by Fradkin and Shenker, of a genuine thermodynamic phase transition separating the two regions.

Strongly coupled large-angle stimulated Raman scattering of short laser pulses in plasma-filled capillaries

description: Strongly coupled large-angle stimulated Raman scattering (LA SRS) of a short intense laser pulse proceeds in a plane plasma-filled capillary differently than in a plasma with open boundaries. Oblique mirror reflections off capillary walls partly suppress the lateral convection of scattered radiation and increase the growth rate of the instability: the convective gain of the LA SRS falls with an angle much slower than in an unbounded plasma and even for the near-forward SRS can be close to that of the direct backscatter. The long-term evolution of LA SRS in the interior of the capillary is dominated by quasi-one-dimensional leaky modes, whose damping is related to the transmission of electromagnetic waves through capillary walls.

We assume that the fluid is moving with non-constant velocity and dynamical boundary conditions are satisfied. We prove the existence and uniqueness of global solution under suitable assumptions on the tension of beam and on the parameters of the problem. Afterwards, we establish the exponential stability of the solution by introducing a suitable Lyapunov functional.

description: Fritz Machlup recently reproposed the issue of the logical foundation underlying the flows of funds denominated in dollars and other “strong” currencies which are traded in the so-called Euro-dollar market. The present paper shows that Machlup’s study picks out only some of the aspects of a more general theory presented elsewhere and underestimates the possibilities to empirical research opened up by the present statistical endowment. The central thrust of the analysis is the incorporation of the demand for and the supply of international liquidity within a unified framework. The authors first discuss the relationship between the U.S. balance of payments and the Eurodollar market. An interpretation of the empirical content to assign to the reserve position of Eurobanks is then suggested. Finally, the authors postpone to an appendix the discussion of Machlup’s six propositions in terms of a more general framework of international financial flows. JEL: E44, F32

description: In the Waikato Regional Policy Statement, objective 3.8 states that the council will take an ecosystem service approach to recognise and maintain or enhance fresh water ecosystem services to enable their ongoing contribution to regional wellbeing. Monitoring ecosystem services and socioeconomic and cultural values could enable better management of these resources and so increase the productivity and efficiency of resource use for community wellbeing. This is because the ecosystem service approach to natural resource management, in principle, considers all services to all sectors of a community. To facilitate this approach, tools such as maps and a database of ecosystem services are useful at the level of detail at which policy and management decisions are made. This study characterises the freshwater ecosystems in the region by assessing a sample of water bodies (streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands), their services with economic benefits they provide. The results are being presented in web-maps and the underlying database of the ecosystems, their services and values. The database system allows structured querying, searching and updating of the database as more information becomes available on these ecosystems. The ecological status and health of the ecosystems provide an indication of the services and values of these natural resources using the Millennium Ecosystem and Assessment (MEA) and the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES) frameworks. This will help the regional council’s capacity in monitoring the effectiveness of its natural resource management and policies.

Im Fokus der Untersuchung stehen einerseits fünf Kinder mit Leseschwierigkeiten, andererseits aber auch die Klasse als Ganzes. Weiter werden die für die Einübung der Lesetheaterstücke gebildeten Gruppen bezüglich Kooperation beobachtet, beschrieben und analysiert. Auf der Basis geeigneter Bilder- und Erstlesebücher wurde mit verschiedenen Lesetheaterstücken ein abwechslungsreiches Training der Leseflüssigkeit konzipiert. Dieses basierte auf der Methode MELT (Mehrsprachiges Lesetheater) und wurde in den integrativen Regelunterricht einer zweiten Klasse eingebettet. Die Auswertungen bezüglich Kooperation beruhten auf gefilmte Sequenzen in kleinen Kontrollgruppen. Die eingesetzten Methoden der Prozessbeobachtung ermöglichten eine qualitative Auswertung in Bezug auf die Integration der leseschwachen Kinder. Die Ergebnisse zeigten sowohl bei den lesestarken als auch bei den leseschwachen Kindern eine Steigerung der Leseflüssigkeit, wenn auch in unterschiedlich ausgeprägter Intensität. Ebenfalls bestätigte sich, dass die Methode Lesetheater sich gut eignet, um Kinder mit Leseschwierigkeiten in Gruppenprozesse zu integrieren.

description: The pace of technological development is vast, and increasing. Research suggests that this will have an increasing impact on agriculture. The demand for formal control has increased greatly. This was promoted, in part, by an increased awareness about impacts on the environment and subsequent government legislation. The Centre of Excellence in Farm Business Management is a project managed by Agri One, a joint venture between Lincoln and Massey Universities. Our research into decision making and information management has shown that formalisation and the use of software solutions / apps is largely driven by compliance requirements and the perceived value add.

description: Shell-shaped hollow Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) exhibit behavior distinct from their filled counterparts and have recently attracted attention due to their potential realization in microgravity settings. Here we study distinct features of these hollow structures stemming from vortex physics and the presence of rotation. We focus on a vortex-antivortex pair as the simplest configuration allowed by the constraints on superfluid flow imposed by the closed-surface topology. In the two-dimensional limit of an infinitesimally thin shell BEC, we characterize the long-range attraction between the vortex-antivortex pair and find the critical rotation speed that stabilizes the pair against energetically relaxing towards self-annihilation. In the three-dimensional case, we contrast the bounds on vortex stability with those in the two-dimensional limit and the filled sphere BEC, and evaluate the critical rotation speed as a function of shell thickness. We thus demonstrate that analyzing vortex stabilization provides a nondestructive means of characterizing a hollow sphere BEC and distinguishing it from its filled counterpart.

But they are available in different design options to offer specific advantages. In this review paper, we have addressed different mechanical and electronic designs of assistive devices proposed and developed by various researchers. The aim of our study was to sort out different mechanisms of actions used by them. With the discussion and comparison of their mode of functions, we have found a direction to potential future improvements, development, and variations to fulfill individualized and customized requirements.

 Species with holoptic eyes. Third antennal segment elongate ovoid with apical arista. Proboscis strong, directed forward. Hind femur generally thickened, club-shaped hind tibia and thickened hind first tarsomere. Basal section of vein M, the vein separating the two basal cells scarcely visible (distinct in both Hybos and Syneches).
The species resemble one another in leg setation, general body and leg colour. Colour of wing (clear, yellowish or brownish tinged), presence or absence of a wing stigma, length of the discal cell in relation to length of basal cells are reliable characters. The shape of the fore tibia (thickening caused by the development of the tibial gland), hind femur, hind tibia, hind tarsomere 1 are also useful characters. The male genitalia are quite distinct, but the genitalia of few species have been figured and several species are only known from the holotype female.

description: This paper considers black- and grey-box continuous-time transfer function estimation from frequency response measurements. The first contribution is a bilinear mapping of the original problem from the imaginary axis onto the unitdisk. This improves the numerics of the underlying Sanathanan-Koerner iterations and the more recent instrumental-variable iterations. Orthonormal rational basis functions on the unit disk are utilized. Each iteration step necessitates a minimal state-space realization with these basis functions. One such derivation is the second contribution. System identification with these basis functions yield zero-pole-gain models. The third contribution is an efficient method to express transfer function coefficient constraints in terms of the orthonormal rational basis functions. This allows for estimating transfer function models with arbitrary relative degrees (including improper models), along with other fixed and bounded parameter values. The algorithm is implemented in the tfest function in System Identification Toolbox (Release 2016b, for use with MATLAB) for frequency domain data. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the algorithm performance.

Is the distinction between inside money and outside money fruitful?

description: According to neo-classical theory money is neutral and monetary policy in the long run trivial, provided there is no rigidity in prices or incomes, no “money illusion” and that the elasticity of price expectation is not equal to unit. Conversely, according to Gurley and Shaw, the adoption of the distinction between inside and outside money would show that even if all the above conditions were realised, money would not be neutral if, as is true in real life, inside and outside money coexist. They maintain that monetary policy would be neutral only if, and insofar as, there were proportional changes in the quantity of the two types of money. According to the author, however, there appears to be no justification for maintaining that the distinction implies a new condition for the achievement of neutrality, and least of all should it be assumed that it destroys the usefulness of the neutrality of money theorem.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, η οποία πραγματοποιείται στο πλαίσιο του μεταπτυχιακού προγράμματος του Πανεπιστημίου Πειραιώς «Δίκαιο και Τεχνολογίες Πληροφορικής και Επικοινωνιών», θα επιχειρηθεί μία ανάλυση του συστήματος των διπλωμάτων ευρεσιτεχνίας (πατεντών) στο χώρο της φαρμακοβιομηχανίας. Πιο συγκεκριμένα ο κλάδος των φαρμάκων είναι ο μοναδικός οικονομικός κλάδος όπου το δίκαιο της ευρεσιτεχνίας εκπληρώνει πλήρως τον σκοπό του, καθώς οι φαρμακοβιομηχανίες, γνωρίζοντας τα οφέλη των διπλωμάτων ευρεσιτεχνίας, αφιερώνουν τον απαιτούμενο χρόνο σε έρευνα και ανάπτυξη για την παρασκευή καινοτόμων προϊόντων, επιτυγχάνοντας τεχνολογική πρόοδο και βελτιώνοντας το επίπεδο ζωής του κοινωνικού συνόλου. Η παρούσα εργασία θα επικεντρωθεί στο ζήτημα της προσιτότητας των φαρμάκων και αν αυτό επιλύεται σε ένα βαθμό μέσω της το παραγωγής των γενοσήμων που βασικό τους χαρακτηριστικό είναι ότι εφοδιάζουν την αγορά με φθηνά φάρμακα των οποίων η ποιότητα είναι όμοια με αυτήν των αρχέτυπων. Θεμελιώδης προβληματισμός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι το εάν φαρμακευτικές εταιρείες πρέπει να περιορίσουν την αποκλειστικότητα τους ως προς την οικονομική εκμετάλλευση της εφεύρεσής τους δεδομένου ότι το φάρμακο σαν προϊόν αποτελεί μεν πηγή κέρδους αλλά αποτελεί επίσης και το μέσο της διατήρησης και προστασίας της ανθρώπινης ζωής. Ειδικότερα στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο της εργασίας θα γίνει μία σύντομη παρουσίαση του συστήματος των διπλωμάτων ευρεσιτεχνίας φαρμάκων στην Ελλάδα, καθώς και των εξουσιών που παρέχονται στους ιδιοκτήτες των διπλωμάτων, του ορισμού της καινοτομίας, και κατά πόσον η ευρεσιτεχνία αποτελεί μέσο προστασίας για τις φαρμακευτικές εφευρέσεις ή εμπόδιο στην φαρμακευτική περίθαλψη. Το δεύτερο κεφάλαιο εξετάζει τα γενόσημα φάρμακα, η προβληματική των οποίων θα αποτελέσει και ένα από τα κύρια ζητήματα της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας. Το τρίτο κεφάλαιο αναφέρεται στο παράλληλο εμπόριο φαρμάκων και σε αντιανταγωνιστικές πρακτικές φαρμακευτικών εταιρειών με επίκεντρο τα δικαιώματα που πηγάζουν από τις ευρεσιτεχνίες. Στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο αναλύονται οι διατάξεις της Συμφωνίας TRIPs για τα διπλώματα ευρεσιτεχνίας και στο πέμπτο το νομικό καθεστώς της διακήρυξης της Nτόχα. Στο έκτο κεφάλαιο παρατίθεται η ενωσιακή νομοθεσία για το ορφανά και παιδιατρικά φάρμακα ενώ το έβδομο κεφάλαιο αναφέρεται στην προβληματική σχετικά με την χορήγηση διπλωμάτων ευρεσιτεχνίας στην περίπτωση των εμβολίων. Τέλος το όγδοο κεφάλαιο αφορά στη σχέση της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης με τα πνευματικά δικαιώματα αλλά και σε τεχνολογικές λύσεις με τις οποίες οι ελληνικές φαρμακευτικές εταιρείες αξιοποιούν τις ατελείωτες δυνατότητες της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης .

subject: Asymmetric price transmission, Robusta coffee, Vietnam

description: The research evaluates the price transmission between export and farmgate prices for Vietnam’s Robusta coffee. Our findings suggest that minor asymmetry price transmission exists for export prices in the long-run and for farm prices in the short-run when thresholds are considered. Besides, the daily speed of adjustment is so high as to lead one to conclude that the price transmission is symmetric. Some possible explanations include the low concentration of local exporters, Robusta’s low quality, and coffee oversupply. Given the recent downward trend in global coffee bean prices, this result also implies that liberalisation current policies are inadequate to ensuring coffee farmers’ welfare.

description: This study utilizes a production function based on costs of feed, health and reproduction, and other inputs to measure efficiency of milk solids production in New Zealand. A second function was also used to measure inefficiency and the sources of inefficiency. The results show that on average producers are reasonably “efficient” with a score of 84%, with reproduction and farming system being major influences on efficiency. Efficient producers have good control over all costs and a high percentage of cows calving early in the milking season. One component of a system that “inefficient” producers can examine is their reproduction program.

description: Recently, it was experimentally shown that the performance and thermal stability of the perovskite MAPbI$_3$ were improved upon the adsorption of a molecular layer of caffeine. In this work, we used a hybrid methodology that combines Uncoupled Monte Carlo (UMC) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations to carry out a detailed and comprehensive study of the adsorption mechanism of a caffeine molecule on the surface of MAPbI$_3$. Our results showed that the adsorption distance and energy of a caffeine molecule on the MAPbI$_3$ surface are 2.0 Å and -0.3 eV, respectively. The caffeine/MAPbI$_3$ complex presents a direct bandgap of 2.38 eV with two flat intragap bands distanced 1.15 and 2.18 eV from the top of valence bands. Although the energy band levels are not significantly shifted by the presence of caffeine, the interaction MAPbI$_3$/perovskite is enough to affect the bands' dispersion, particularly the conduction bands.

Orbital magnetic dynamics in chiral p-wave superconductors

description: We present a theory of orbital magnetic dynamics for a chiral p-wave superconductor with broken time-reversal symmetry. In contrast to the common Landau-Lifshitz theory for spin ferromagnets, the case of orbital magnetism cannot be described in terms of local magnetization density. Hence it is impossible to define unambiguously the spontaneous magnetic moment: the latter would depend on conditions of its experimental investigation. As an example of this we consider orbital magnetization waves and the domain structure energy.

description: Recent experiments have tuned the monolayer 1T'-WTe2 to be superconducting by electrostatic gating. Here, we theoretically study the phonon-mediated superconductivity in monolayer 1T'-WTe2 via charge doping. We reveal that the emergence of soft-mode phonons with specific momentum is crucial to give rise to the superconductivity in electron-doping regime, whereas no such soft-mode phonons and no superconductivity emerge in hole-doping regime. We also find a superconducting dome, which can be attributed to the change of Fermi surface nesting condition as electron doping. By taking into account the experimentally established strong anisotropy of temperature-dependent upper critical field H_{c2} between the in-plane and out-of-plane directions, we show that the superconducting state probably has the unconventional equal-spin-triplet pairing in A_{u} channel of C_{2h} point group. Our studies provide a promising understanding to the doping dependent superconductivity and strong anisotropy of H_{c2} in monolayer 1T'-WTe2.

description: The Deligne groupoid is a functor from nilpotent differential graded Lie algebras concentrated in positive degrees to groupoids; in the special case of Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero, it gives the associated simply connected Lie group. We generalize the Deligne groupoid to a functor gamma from L-infinity algebras concentrated in degree >-n to n-groupoids. (We actually construct the nerve of the n-groupoid, which is an enriched Kan complex.) The construction of gamma is quite explicit (it is based on Dupont's proof of the de Rham theorem) and yields higher dimensional analogues of holonomy and of the Campbell-Hausdorff formula. In the case of abelian L-infinity algebras (i.e. chain complexes), the functor gamma is the Dold-Kan simplicial set.
