THE POSSIBILITY OF THE INTRODUCTION OF TREBLE DAMAGES INTO KOREA: ANY HARM?
Creators: name: An, Jae Young
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Despite the fact that the antitrust laws of Korea intend to protect the fair shares of the economically weak, consumers and small and medium enterprises, the reality does not come up to the goal. This article analyzes the necessity and possibility of the introduction into Korea of treble damages as a means to enhance private enforcement of antitrust laws and thereby accomplishing the goals of antitrust. For the analysis, this dissertation shows that nominal treble damages would be 2.5 times the actual loss of antitrust victims in Korea, accounting for prejudgment interest, the statute of limitations, litigation costs, and other plaintiff costs pursuing the case. Next, the author will predict the result not only of some prospective controversies regarding constitutionality which the introduction of treble damages might cause in Korea but also of counteraction from the courts limiting the scope of treble damages. These controversies and counteraction would not be a decisive obstacle to the introduction. Also, it will be demonstrated that the criticism that treble damages cause overdeterrence, meritless suits and strategic abuse of antitrust suits, and inefficiencies resulting from intentional suffering of injuries lacks reasonable evidence, both in the U.S. and Korea. In all these respects, it is necessary to introduce treble damages into Korea.

description: If the terrestrial environment is permeated by dark matter, the levitation experiences damping forces and fluctuations attributed to dark matter. This paper investigates levitodynamics with multiple stochastic forces, including thermal drag, photon recoil, feedback, etc., assuming that all of these forces adhere to the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The ratio of total damping to the stochastic damping coefficient distinguishes the levitodynamics from cases involving only one single stochastic force. The heating and cooling processes are formulated to determine the limits of temperature change. All sources of stochastic forces are comprehensively examined, revealing that dark matter collisions cannot be treated analogously to fluid dynamics. Additionally, a meticulous analysis is presented, elucidating the intricate relationship between the fundamental transfer cross-section and the macroscopic transfer cross-section. While the dark damping coefficient is suppressed by the mass of the levitated particle, scattering can be coherently enhanced based on the scale of the component microscopic particle, the atomic form factor, and the static structure factor. Hence, dark damping holds the potential to provide valuable insights into the detection of the macroscopic strength of fundamental particles. We propose experimental procedures for levitation and employ linear estimation to extract the dark damping coefficient. Utilizing current levitation results, we demonstrate that the fundamental transfer cross section of dark matter can be of the order $σ^{\rm D}_{T}\lsim {\cal O}(10^{-26})\rm cm^2$.

description: In the present work the chemical composition of niobium surface upon 200-400 °C baking similar to "medium-temperature baking" and "furnace baking" of cavities is explored in-situ by synchrotron X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Our findings imply that below the critical thickness of $Nb_2O_5$ layer (about 1 nm) niobium starts to interact actively with surface impurities, such as carbon and phosphorus. By studying the kinetics of the native oxide reduction, the activation energy and the rate-constant relation have been determined and used for the calculation of the oxygen-concentration depth profiles. It has been established that the controlled diffusion of oxygen when the native-oxide layer represents an oxygen source is realized at temperatures 200-300 °C, while at 400 °C the pentoxide is completely reduced and the doping level is determined by an ambient oxygen partial pressure. Fluorine (F to Nb atomic ratio is about 0.2) after the buffered chemical polishing was found to be incorporated into the surface layer probed by XPS (about 4.6 nm), and its concentration increased during the low-temperature baking (F/Nb up to 0.35 at 230 °C) and depleted at higher temperatures (F/Nb=0.11 at 400 °C). Thus, the influence of fluorine on the performance of mid-T baked, mild-baked (120 °C/48 h) and nitrogen-doped cavities must be considered. The possible role of fluorine in the educed $Nb^{+5}$ to $Nb^{+4}$ reaction under the impact of an X-ray beam at room temperature and during the thermal treatment is also discussed. The range of temperature and duration parameters of the thermal treatment at which the niobium surface would not be contaminated with impurities is determined for industrial applications.

description: Measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) is a paradigm for quantum computation where computation is driven by local measurements on a suitably entangled resource state. In this work we show that MBQC is related to a model of quantum computation based on Clifford quantum cellular automata (CQCA). Specifically, we show that certain MBQCs can be directly constructed from CQCAs which yields a simple and intuitive circuit model representation of MBQC in terms of quantum computation based on CQCA. We apply this description to construct various MBQC-based Ansätze for parameterized quantum circuits, demonstrating that the different Ansätze may lead to significantly different performances on different learning tasks. In this way, MBQC yields a family of Hardware-efficient Ansätze that may be adapted to specific problem settings and is particularly well suited for architectures with translationally invariant gates such as neutral atoms.

description: Precise assessment of Space-speed time delay (TD) is critical for distinguishing between anticipation and reaction behaviors within pedestrian motion. Besides, the TD scale is instrumental in the evaluation of potential collision tendency of the crowd, thereby providing essential quantitative metrics for assessing risk. In this consideration, this paper introduced the CosIn algorithm for evaluating TD during pedestrian motion, which includes both the CosIn-1 and CosIn-2 algorithms. CosIn-1 algorithm analytically calculates TD, replacing the numerical method of discrete cross-correlation, whereas the CosIn-2 algorithm estimates the TD from a statistical perspective. Specifically, the CosIn-1 algorithm addresses the precise computation of TD for individual pedestrians, while the CosIn-2 algorithm is employed for assessing TD at the crowd scale, concurrently addressing the imperative of real-time evaluation. Efficacy analyses of the CosIn-1 and CosIn-2 algorithms are conducted with data from single-file pedestrian experiments and crowd-crossing experiments, respectively. During this process, the discrete cross-correlation method was employed as a baseline to evaluate the performance of both algorithms, which demonstrated notable accuracy. This algorithm facilitate the precise evaluation of behavior patterns and collision tendency within crowds, thereby enabling us to understand the crowds dynamics from a new perspective.

description: We report on the control of spin pair fluctuations using two-tone Floquet engineering. We consider a one-dimensional spin-1/2 lattice with periodically modulated spin exchanges using parametric resonances. The stroboscopic dynamics generated from distributed spin exchange modulations lead to spin pair fluctuations reaching quasi-maximally correlated states and a subharmonic response in local observables, breaking the discrete-time translational symmetry. We present a protocol to control the interacting many-body dynamics, producing spatial and temporal localization of correlated spin pairs via dynamically breaking correlated spin pairs from the edges towards the center of the lattice. Our result reveals how spin fluctuations distribute in a heterogeneous lattice depending on parametric resonances. This may open new routes for exploring distinct nonequilibrium states of matter and the conduction of quasiparticles in quantum materials.

Breakfast eating patterns and drivers of a healthy breakfast composition

Publisher: name: Elsevier

description: Breakfast has long been described as the most important meal of the day. While breakfast habits and their consequenceson children's health and performance are well documented, studies on the adult population are lacking. The presentstudy will fill this gap, providing a comprehensive picture of the Swiss breakfast habits and insights into the de-terminants of a healthy breakfast composition. Data were collected through a postal survey sent out to a randomlyselected sample of 1917 German-speaking Swiss residents, yielding a final sample size of N=460. Breakfast habitswere disclosed, and individual breakfast healthiness scores were assessed by two nutrition specialists. A multiple re-gression analysis was then performed to investigate the influence of several motivational, socio-demographic, health-and knowledge-related determinants on breakfast healthiness. The sample showed recommendable habits in terms ofconsumption frequency and quite traditional eating patterns, illustrated by the prevalence of continental breakfasts andequally marked by the frequent consumption of dairy products. Overall, the Swiss breakfast composition is moderatelyhealthy, lacking fruits and whole grain products. Paying attention to healthy food choices in general, higher educationlevel, being a woman and reporting to be fit are factors linked to a healthier breakfast composition; while preferencesfor low-fat, familiar or convenient foods are correlated to less healthy patterns. Given the parallel between the de-terminants of a healthy breakfast composition and those of a healthy diet and taking some limiting factors, such asconsumers preference for convenience and strong habits, into account, we support the current nutritional advice fo-cusing on balancing the diet over the day or the week rather than on recommendations dedicated to specific meals.

description: Recently, Blecher and Knopfmacher applied the notion of fixed points to integer partitions. This has already been generalized and refined in various ways such as $h$-fixed points for an integer parameter $h$ by Hopkins and Sellers. Here, we consider the sequence of first column hook lengths in the Young diagram of a partition and corresponding fixed hooks. We enumerate these, using both generating function and combinatorial proofs, and find that they match occurrences of part sizes equal to their multiplicity. We establish connections to work of Andrews and Merca on truncations of the pentagonal number theorem and classes of partitions partially characterized by certain minimal excluded parts (mex).

description: While the operationalisation of high-level AI ethics principles into practical AI/ML systems has made progress, there is still a theory-practice gap in managing tensions between the underlying AI ethics aspects. We cover five approaches for addressing the tensions via trade-offs, ranging from rudimentary to complex. The approaches differ in the types of considered context, scope, methods for measuring contexts, and degree of justification. None of the approaches is likely to be appropriate for all organisations, systems, or applications. To address this, we propose a framework which consists of: (i) proactive identification of tensions, (ii) prioritisation and weighting of ethics aspects, (iii) justification and documentation of trade-off decisions. The proposed framework aims to facilitate the implementation of well-rounded AI/ML systems that are appropriate for potential regulatory requirements.

description: Communication complexity is a fundamental aspect of information science, concerned with the amount of communication required to solve a problem distributed among multiple parties. The standard quantification of one-way communication complexity relies on the minimal dimension of the communicated systems. In this paper, we measure the communication complexity of a task by the minimal distinguishability required to accomplish it, while leaving the dimension of the communicated systems unconstrained. Distinguishability is defined as the maximum probability of correctly guessing the sender's input from the message, quantifying the message's distinctiveness relative to the sender's input. This measure becomes especially relevant when maintaining the confidentiality of the sender's input is essential. After establishing the generic framework, we focus on three relevant families of communication complexity tasks -- the random access codes, equality problems defined by graphs and the pair-distinguishability tasks. We derive general lower bounds on the minimal classical distinguishability as a function of the success metric of these tasks. We demonstrate that quantum communication outperforms classical communication, presenting explicit protocols and utilizing semi-definite programming methods. In particular, we demonstrate unbounded quantum advantage for random access codes and Hadamard graph-based equality problems. Specifically, we show that the classical-to-quantum ratio of minimal distinguishability required to achieve the same success metric escalates polynomially and exponentially with the complexity of these tasks, reaching arbitrarily large values.

Micro-dating of monazite by new XRF-microprobe technology applied to polymetamorphic rocks of the Monte Rosa Nappe

description: A newly developed XRF-microprobe at the Institute of Mineralogy and Petrology, University of Bern, Switzerland, has been applied for precise chemical Th-U-Pb dating of individual monazite grains separated from Pb-free polished petrographic thin sections. The instrument performance was tested on a dataset of over 70 monazite grains individually drilled from 25 thin sections characterised by electron microprobe. 14 samples were selected so as to regionally represent the pre-granitic basement rocks (garnet-mica gneiss) of the Monte Rosa gneiss nappe (western Central Alps). Summarising the geological results, there are two distinct phases of monazite growth in these polymetamorphic rocks apparent: one during Permian times (280 ±40 Ma), and a younger phase of Alpine age (35 ±10 Ma). The two age groups occur side by side at thin section scale but they are clearly separated by context: the younger ones are restricted to grains within the matrix, and the older ones to monazite inclusions in garnet, or, more rarely, inherited cores of large matrix grains. Of all sampled sites there are two exceptions to this rule, i.e. where all dated grains (matrix and inclusions) fall into the older category. Monazite in these two rocks must have largely escaped the effects of Alpine metamorphism, which included eclogite facies conditions (Eocene) followed by amphibolite facies conditions (Oligocene). The non-destructive nature of the XRF-microprobe permitted a comparative study of dating methods by sequentially applying chemical dating by electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), chemical dating by XRF-microprobe analysis, and isotopic 208Pb/232Th dating by LA-PIMMS (Laser-Ablation Plasma Ionisation Multi Mass Spectrometry) analysis. As an example, the precision achieved with the XRFmicroprobe for a well characterised monazite age standard FC-1 (TIMS age 54.3 Ma; μ-XRF age 55.3 ±2.6 Ma), doubly polished to 30 μm in thickness, is below 5% (2 sigma) after 90 minutes integration time (50 kV; 30 mA) at a spatial resolution of 90 μm. The sample characteristics are: 200-300 ppm of Pb (μ-XRF), 3.8-5.1 wt% of Th (EMPA) and 0.4-1.4 wt% U (EMPA).

description: Permanent pastures and meadows are species‐rich vegetation systems that play an important role in the ecology and agriculture of temperate climates. Intensive management reduces species diversity and may also influence the genetic diversity within individual species and populations. The objective of this study was to assess genetic variability of meadow fescue, an important component of species‐rich grasslands, and to determine whether fertilization and defoliation frequency influence genetic variability within natural populations. Genetic diversity of six natural populations and three cultivars of Festuca pratensis was investigated using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and agronomic traits. Samples of natural populations were taken from two unrelated long‐term experiments, where treatments had been applied for 11–38 years. RAPD analysis detected a clear genetic distinction of the cultivars from the natural populations. Genetic variability within cultivars was lower than within natural populations. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed a significant effect of management on genetic variability. Fertilization and frequent defoliation led to a reduction in genetic variability within natural populations. Analysis of agronomic traits was only partially congruent with the results of RAPD analysis. This study shows that significant genetic variability exists within cultivars and natural populations of Festuca pratensis and can be reduced by intensive management.

description: Recognizing interactive actions, including hand-to-hand interaction and human-to-human interaction, has attracted increasing attention for various applications in the field of video analysis and human-robot interaction. Considering the success of graph convolution in modeling topology-aware features from skeleton data, recent methods commonly operate graph convolution on separate entities and use late fusion for interactive action recognition, which can barely model the mutual semantic relationships between pairwise entities. To this end, we propose a mutual excitation graph convolutional network (me-GCN) by stacking mutual excitation graph convolution (me-GC) layers. Specifically, me-GC uses a mutual topology excitation module to firstly extract adjacency matrices from individual entities and then adaptively model the mutual constraints between them. Moreover, me-GC extends the above idea and further uses a mutual feature excitation module to extract and merge deep features from pairwise entities. Compared with graph convolution, our proposed me-GC gradually learns mutual information in each layer and each stage of graph convolution operations. Extensive experiments on a challenging hand-to-hand interaction dataset, i.e., the Assembely101 dataset, and two large-scale human-to-human interaction datasets, i.e., NTU60-Interaction and NTU120-Interaction consistently verify the superiority of our proposed method, which outperforms the state-of-the-art GCN-based and Transformer-based methods.

description: Quadratic Lindbladians encompass a rich class of dissipative electronic and bosonic quantum systems, which have been predicted to host new and exotic physics. In this study, we develop a Lindblad-Keldysh spectroscopic response formalism for open quantum systems that elucidates their steady-state response properties and dissipative phase transitions via finite-frequency linear and non-linear probes. As illustrative examples, we utilize this formalism to calculate the (1) density and dynamic spin susceptibilities of a boundary driven XY model at and near criticality, (2) linear and non-linear optical responses in Bernal bilayer graphene coupled to dissipative leads, and (3) steady state susceptibilities in a bosonic optical lattice. We find that the XY model spin density wavelength diverges with critical exponent 1/2, and there are gapless dispersive modes in the dynamic spin response that originate from the underlying spin density wave order; additionally the dispersing modes of the weak and ultra-strong dissipation limits exhibit a striking correspondence since the boundary dissipators couple only weakly to the bulk in both cases. In the optical response of the Bernal bilayer, we find that the diamagnetic response can decrease with increasing occupation, as opposed to in closed systems where the response increases monotonically with occupation; we study the effect of second harmonic generation and shift current and find that these responses, forbidden in centrosymmetric closed systems, can manifest in these open systems as a result of dissipation. We compare this formalism to its equilibrium counterpart and draw analogies between these non-interacting open systems and strongly interacting closed systems.

description: HyperFactory is a project funded by the Valencian Institute for Business Competitiveness (IVACE) and the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER).

The project proposes a digitalization architecture in an industrial environment that allows working in the different segments of the "computing continuum" (Edge-Fog-Cloud), and that facilitates the sharing of information between different actors and the management of communications resources using software-defined industrial networks. HyperFactory will design and develop tools that act as enablers of a better, more efficient, and secure operation, covering aspects that go from data collection to the deployment of services in the computing continuum.

This document reports the activities realized to obtain a proof of concept of a solution to dynamically manage resources and routes in heterogeneous industrial networks. Those activities comprise: analysis of the state of the art, development of a centralized system to manage the infrastructure, architecture to handle network slices, integration and lab tests and investigation and improvement of IIoT communication protocols.

description: This paper presents the first comprehensive literature review of deep learning (DL) applications in additive manufacturing (AM). It addresses the need for a thorough analysis in this rapidly growing yet scattered field, aiming to bring together existing knowledge and encourage further development. Our research questions cover three major areas of AM: (i) design for AM, (ii) AM modeling, and (iii) monitoring and control in AM. We use a step-by-step approach following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to select papers from Scopus and Web of Science databases, aligning with our research questions. We include only those papers that implement DL across seven major AM categories - binder jetting, directed energy deposition, material extrusion, material jetting, powder bed fusion, sheet lamination, and vat photopolymerization. Our analysis reveals a trend towards using deep generative models, such as generative adversarial networks, for generative design in AM. It also highlights an increasing effort to incorporate process physics into DL models to improve AM process modeling and reduce data requirements. Additionally, there is growing interest in using 3D point cloud data for AM process monitoring, alongside traditional 1D and 2D formats. Finally, this paper summarizes the current challenges and recommends some of the promising opportunities in this domain for further investigation with a special focus on (i) generalizing DL models for a wide range of geometry types, (ii) managing uncertainties both in AM data and DL models, (iii) overcoming limited, imbalanced, and noisy AM data issues by incorporating deep generative models, and (iv) unveiling the potential of interpretable DL for AM.

description: We investigate the morphological and structural evolutions of disk galaxies in simulations for a wide range of Toomre's $Q$ parameter. In addition to the inspection of conventional bar modes, we compute the concentration, asymmetry and clumpiness (CAS) parameters to enlarge the understanding of the galaxy evolution. These parameters are widely employed to analyze the light distribution of the observed galaxies, but the adaptation to numerical simulations is not much considered. While the bar formation takes place in a considerable range of $Q$ around $1$, barred galaxies originating from $Q>1$ and $Q<1$ disks yield the CAS values that differ significantly. Disks starting with $Q<1$ develop clumps due to local gravitational instabilities along with the bar and these clumps play a central role in enhancing the CAS values. That process is absent in $Q>1$ counterparts in which the evolution is dominated by linearly unstable two-armed modes that lead to lower CAS values. Likewise, unbarred galaxies that are obtainable from disks with $Q$ far below and far above $1$ exhibit greatly different CAS magnitudes. It turns out that the CAS parameters can serve as indicators of the initial kinematical state and the evolution history of a disk of any morphology. In addition, we find an alternative mechanism of the formation of the lopsided barred galaxy when $Q\lesssim 1$. Bars that evolve in the midst of the clumps can spontaneously become lopsided at the end.

description: The feeding strategy and the feed self-sufficiency of 34 commercial dairy farms in the western part of Switzerland were investigated throughout the year 2010. Feed ration composition of farms from the lowlands with relatively high proportions of maize were compared to farms from the mountain area with relatively high proportions of herbage in the rations. Dairy feeds were categorized into herbage, whole-plant maize and concentrate. The proportions of dry matter (DM), net energy for lactation (NEL) and metabolizable protein (MP) sourced from herbage, maize and concentrates were calculated. Dairy farms located in the mountain area had higher proportions of herbage DM in the ration than farms located in the lowland (70% vs. 51 %), as well as herbage-sourced NEL (66 % vs. 47%) and herbage-sourced MP (68% vs. 49%). In contrast, lowland farms showed a higher proportion of maize DM in the ration (31% vs. 17 %). The degree of self-sufficiency of the total feed ration of mountain farms was shown to be larger for DM, NEL and especially MP. A general negative relationship between the proportion of maize DM in the ration and the dairy herd MP self-sufficiency could be observed.

description: Efficient simulation of quantum computers relies on understanding and exploiting the properties of quantum states. This is the case for methods such as tensor networks, based on entanglement, and the tableau formalism, which represents stabilizer states. In this work, we integrate these two approaches to present a generalization of the tableau formalism used for Clifford circuit simulation. We explicitly prove how to update our formalism with Clifford gates, non-Clifford gates, and measurements, enabling universal circuit simulation. We also discuss how the framework allows for efficient simulation of more states, raising some interesting questions on the representation power of tensor networks and the quantum properties of resources such as entanglement and magic, and support our claims with simulations.
