description: The text is a proposal to analyse the film Symphony of the Ursus Factory from three different perspectives: performance studies, qualitative research, and participatory art. Departing from a quote by the director, Jaśmina Wójcik, where she reminisces about her first encounters with the former employees of the factory, the author focuses on the issue of embodied knowledge. Through discussing different moments of the film and its visual and audial strategy, the author also shows how theatricality mixes with documentality in the production. The author also refers to different events and activities from the nine-year-long Factory Ursus Project to show it as a long-term process grounded on different modes of participation and collaboration, without which the movie could not have been possible and which legitimates its artistic form.

description: Analyzing IUE ultraviolet spectra of beta Cep pulsating stars we have noticed that multiperiodic variables have a larger mean metal abundance in the photosphere, [m/H], than monoperiodic ones. We apply statistical tests to verify this dichotomy. We obtain that, with a large probability, the multiperiodic beta Cep stars have greater values of [m/H]. This result is consistent with the linear non-adiabatic theory of pulsation of early B-type stars.

description: Organizing territorial marketing events is an idea of creating places and objects which people identify with the region. The analysis in the paper shows that the best chance of this creation have local actors, but supported by a broad front of social cooperation. The main objectives of the promotion can be presented in the form of four terms: information, persuasion, attraction and positioning. A local, regional and traditional product is an opportunity for small communities and a great attraction for consumers. Purchased by tourists in a folk festival, a local market or in a farm it is considered to be unique and tasty food. Production of these products is often readily transferred to their homes, thus spreading their good opinion. / Synopsis. Organizowanie wydarzeń o charakterze marketingowym stanowi pomysł na wykreowanie miejsc czy przedmiotów, z którymi utożsamiają się mieszkańcy regionu. Z przeprowadzonej analizy wynika, że największe szanse mają marki tworzone przez lokalne podmioty, ale z uwzględnieniem szerokiego frontu kapitału społecznego. Główne cele promocji można przedstawić jako informowanie, przekonywanie, przyciąganie i pozycjonowanie. Produkt lokalny jest szansą dla małych społeczności i wielką atrakcją dla konsumentów. Zakupione przez turystów na festynie ludowym, targu lub w gospodarstwie produkty czy przetwory, po degustacji uchodzą za wyjątkowe specjały. Często produkcja tych wyrobów chętnie przenoszona jest do ich domów, przez co rozpowszechnia się o nich dobra opinia.

description: The competitiveness of agri-food products depends mostly on their quality. High-quality products meet the consumers requirements and are an attractive export commodity. The purpose of this article is an assessment of changes in quality of selected agri-food products in Poland for several years. Food-producing plants will be also under review. Indicators of changes in the dynamics and structure and functions of trends allow analysis of transformations. The use of these research methods allow to trace the transformations related to the quality of food products in time. The results showed improvement of the quality of meat and milk and the sanitary condition of food-producing establishments.
The first moment of primes in arithmetic progressions: Beyond the Siegel-Walfisz range

description: We investigate the first moment of primes in progressions $$ \sum_{\substack{q\leq x/N \\ (q,a)=1}} \Big(ψ(x; q, a) - \frac x{φ(q)}\Big) $$ as $x, N \to \infty$. We show unconditionally that, when $a=1$, there is a significant bias towards negative values, uniformly for $N\leq {\rm e}^{c\sqrt{\log x}}$. The proof combines recent results of the authors on the first moment and on the error term in the dispersion method. More generally, for $a \in \mathbb Z\setminus\{0\}$ we prove estimates that take into account the potential existence (or inexistence) of Landau-Siegel zeros.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We investigate a generalization of the massless boundary sine-Gordon model with conformal invariance, which has been used to describe an array of D-branes (or rolling tachyon). We consider a similar action whose couplings are replaced with external fields depending on the boundary coordinate. Even in the presence of the external fields, this model is still solvable, though it does not maintain the whole conformal symmetry. We obtain, to all orders in perturbation theory in terms of the external fields, a simpler expression of the boundary state and the disc partition function. As a by-product, we fix the relation between the bare couplings and the renormalized couplings which has been appeared in papers on tachyon lump and rolling tachyon.

Assessing the impacts of mutations to the structure of COVID-19 spike protein via sequential Monte Carlo

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Biomolecules (q-bio.BM)

description: Proteins play a key role in facilitating the infectiousness of the 2019 novel coronavirus. A specific spike protein enables this virus to bind to human cells, and a thorough understanding of its 3-dimensional structure is therefore critical for developing effective therapeutic interventions. However, its structure may continue to evolve over time as a result of mutations. In this paper, we use a data science perspective to study the potential structural impacts due to ongoing mutations in its amino acid sequence. To do so, we identify a key segment of the protein and apply a sequential Monte Carlo sampling method to detect possible changes to the space of low-energy conformations for different amino acid sequences. Such computational approaches can further our understanding of this protein structure and complement laboratory efforts.

description: Single photons coupled to atomic systems have shown to be a promising platform for developing quantum technologies. Yet a bright on-demand, highly pure and highly indistinguishable single-photon source compatible with atomic platforms is lacking. In this work, we demonstrate such a source based on a strongly interacting Rydberg system. The large optical nonlinearities in a blockaded Rydberg ensemble convert coherent light into a single-collective excitation that can be coherently retrieved as a quantum field. We observe a single-transverse-mode efficiency up to 0.18(2), $g^{(2)}=2.0(1.5)\times10^{-4}$, and indistinguishability of 0.982(7), making this system promising for scalable quantum information applications. Accounting for losses, we infer a generation probability up to 0.40(4). Furthermore, we investigate the effects of contaminant Rydberg excitations on the source efficiency. Finally, we introduce metrics to benchmark the performance of on-demand single-photon sources.
Toward Multi-Connectivity in Beyond 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks: Challenges and Possible Solutions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)

description: Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) will complement terrestrial networks (TNs) in 5G and beyond, which can be attributed to recent deployment and standardization activities. Maximizing the efficiency of NTN communications is critical to unlock its full potential and reap its numerous benefits. One method to make communications more efficient is by the usage of multi-connectivity (MC), which allows a user to connect to multiple base stations simultaneously. It is standardized and widely used for TNs, but for MC to be used in the NTN environment, several challenges must be overcome. In this article, challenges related to MC in NTNs are discussed, and solutions to the identified challenges are proposed.

description: We show that a special type of entangled states, cluster states, can be created with Heisenberg interactions and local rotations in 2d steps where d is the dimension of the lattice. We find that, by tuning the coupling strengths, anisotropic exchange interactions can also be employed to create cluster states. Finally, we propose electron spins in quantum dots as a possible realization of a one-way quantum computer based on cluster states.

description: The high computation complexity of nonlinear adaptive filtering algorithms poses significant challenges at the hardware implementation level. In order to tackle the computational complexity problem, this paper proposes a novel block-oriented functional link adaptive filter (BO-FLAF) to model memoryless nonlinear systems. Through theoretical complexity analysis, we show that the proposed Hammerstein BO trigonometric FLAF (HBO-TFLAF) has 47% lesser multiplications than the original TFLAF for a filter order of 1024. Moreover, the HBO-TFLAF exhibits a faster convergence rate and achieved 3-5 dB lesser steady-state mean square error (MSE) compared to the original TFLAF for a memoryless nonlinear system identification task.

Star Formation, Massive Stars, and Super Star Clusters in Nearby Galaxies with the SKA
Creators: name: Johnson, Kelsey E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will enable studies of star formation in nearby galaxies with a level of detail never before possible outside of the Milky Way. Because the earliest stages of stellar evolution are often inaccessible at optical and near-infrared wavelengths, high spatial resolution radio observations are necessary to explore extragalactic star formation. The SKA will have the sensitivity to detect individual ultracompact HII regions out to the distance of nearly 50 Mpc, allowing us to study their spatial distributions, morphologies, and population statistics in a wide range of environments. Radio observations of Wolf-Rayet stars outside of the Milky Way will also be possible for the first time, greatly expanding the range of conditions in which their mass loss rates can be determined from free-free emission. On a vastly larger scale, natal of super star clusters will be accessible to the SKA out to redshifts of nearly z~0.1. The unprecedented sensitivity of radio observations with the SKA will also place tight constraints on the star formation rates as low as 1 M_sun/yr in galaxies out to a redshift of z~1 by directly measuring the thermal radio flux density without assumptions about a galaxy's magnetic field strength, cosmic ray production rate, or extinction.

In 202 $\invpb$ of $\ppbar$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV we observe no candidate events, with an expected standard model background of $0.27\pm0.07({\rm stat})\pm0.10({\rm syst})$ events. The results exclude a lightest chargino of mass less than 167 GeV/$c^2$, and lightest neutralino of mass less than 93 GeV/$c^2$ at 95% C.L. in a gauge--mediated supersymmetry-- breaking model with a light gravitino.

An important source of information were statistical data obtained in the Municipal Office in Dobre and the District Labour Office in Radziejów. As the studies have shown, Polish accession to the European Union on 1 May 2004 has brought many new opportunities and business development opportunities such as grants, development programs, funds, removal of barriers to foreign trade. Still, business development in Dobre community, is limited by barriers such as the tax burden and contributory, bad credit system or complicated procedures impeding the use of EU funds. Studies have shown that these factors are an obstacle to the development of mainly micro and small enterprises.

description: The aim of the paper was to draw readers’ attention and to take part in the discussion on global land grabbing procederu by governments and multinational corporations, as well as an attempt to explain this phenomenon from the perspective of political economy. This paper deals with questions regarding the global expansion of land acquisitions from the political economy perspective. The political economy of land grabbing by foreign investors in less developed countries (mainly in Africa and South Asia) contrast the interests of foreign investors linked to government officials or local elites against interests of local land users and communities. Global land grab has major consequences for economies, livelihoods and environment in investment host countries. It creates winners and losers and yields greater inequality within rural societies.

description: We investigate a multiterminal mesoscopic conductor in the quantum Hall regime, subject to temperature and voltage biases. The device can be considered as a nonequilibrium resource acting on a working substance. We previously showed that cooling and power production can occur in the absence of energy and particle currents from a nonequilibrium resource (calling this an N-demon). Here we allow energy or particle currents from the nonequilibrium resource and find that the device seemingly operates at a better efficiency than a Carnot engine. To overcome this problem, we define free-energy efficiencies which incorporate the fact that a nonequilibrium resource is consumed in addition to heat or power. These efficiencies are well behaved for equilibrium and nonequilibrium resources and have an upper bound imposed by the laws of thermodynamics. We optimize power production and cooling in experimentally relevant parameter regimes.

description: Photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) was used to measure the bandgap optical parameters and the Urbach energy of semi-insulating (SI) GaAs and a 238nm GaNAs epitaxial thin film in the energy range 800-1l00nm. To do so, a PDS apparatus was setup using a 0.lmW and l0nm bandwidth pump beam obtained with a f/3.8 monochromator and a 150W Tungsten Halogen lamp, a HeNe laser for the probe beam, CCI[superscript omitted] for the deflecting medium and a linear position sensitive detector. The spectra obtained for GaAs and GaNAs were compared with models based on the Rosencwaig-Gersho and the Fernelius theories of ID heat diffusion which consider absorption in respectively one and two sample layers, and also on a model of absorption based on literature results. Preliminary results indicate that more work will be needed on the apparatus/models to qualify the validity of the fitted optical parameters. The PDS apparatus demonstrated an absorbance sensitivity limit of ~10[superscript omitted] with the samples investigated.

description: We use some of the recently released observational data to test the viability of two classes of minimally coupled scalar field models of quintessence with exponential potentials for which exact solutions of the Einstein equations are known. These models are very sturdy, depending on only one parameter - the Hubble constant. To compare predictions of our models with observations we concentrate on the following data: the power spectrum of the CMBR anisotropy as measured by WMAP, the publicly available data on type Ia supernovae, and the parameters of large scale structure determined by the 2-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). We use the WMAP data on the age of the universe and the Hubble constant to fix the free parameters in our models. We then show that the predictions of our models are consistent with the observed positions and relative heights of the first 3 peaks in the CMB power spectrum, with the energy density of dark energy as deduced from observations of distant type Ia supernovae, and with parameters of the large scale structure as determined by 2dFGRS, in particular with the average density of dark matter. Our models are also consistent with the results of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Moreover, we investigate the evolution of matter density perturbations in our quintessential models, solve exactly the evolution equation for the density perturbations, and obtain an analytical expression for the growth index $f$. We verify that the approximate relation f ~ Omega_M^(alpha) also holds in our models.

description: A weak magnetic order was found in a non-superconducting bilayered-hydrate Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}\cdot y$H$_{2}$O sample by a Co Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) measurement. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate divided by temperature $1/T_1T$ shows a prominent peak at 5.5 K, below which a Co-NQR peak splits due to an internal field at the Co site. From analyses of the Co NQR spectrum at 1.5 K, the internal field is evaluated to be $\sim$ 300 Oe and is in the $ab$-plane. The magnitude of the internal field suggests that the ordered moment is as small as $\sim 0.015$ $μ_B$ using the hyperfine coupling constant reported previously. It is shown that the NQR frequency $ν_Q$ correlates with magnetic fluctuations from measurements of NQR spectra and $1/T_1T$ in various samples. The higher-$ν_Q$ sample has the stronger magnetic fluctuations. A possible phase diagram in Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}\cdot y$H$_{2}$O is depicted using $T_c$ and $ν_Q$, in which the crystal distortion along the c-axis of the tilted CoO$_2$ octahedron is considered to be a physical parameter. Superconductivity with the highest $T_c$ is seemingly observed in the vicinity of the magnetic phase, suggesting strongly that the magnetic fluctuations play an important role for the occurrence of the superconductivity.

title: Constructions of national identity and the nation: the case of New Zealand/Aotearoa
Creators: name: Taylor, Stephanie Joyce Ann
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: This thesis analyses discourses of national identity and the nation, using the case study of New Zealand. The main empirical data are 'ordinary talk', from 41 New Zealanders interviewed in London in late 1994 and early 1995. The thesis investigates the work which is done in participants' talk by constructions of national identity and the nation. The first major focus is how national identity is used in the construction of self-identity. The analysis includes different ways of understanding the 'self', the interpretative resources available for the construction of an identity as a New Zealander, including alternative categories and positive and negative stereotypes, and the way that speakers position themselves in relation to New Zealand and other New Zealanders. A second focus is how constructions of nation and the national do ideological work around contentious issues, that is, work which has implications for relationships of power and authority in a broad socio-economic context and which tends to silence and delegitimise certain voices and identities, especially by establishing and reinforcing certain practices and relationships as 'normal' and therefore invisible and/or uncontentious. Finally the thesis considers how such constructions accommodate changes which are frequently associated with globalization and a decline in the relevance of the nation state. These changes include the reduced state provision of services, resulting from the reduction or abandonment of 'welfare state' policies; challenges from new migrants and from an indigenous minority to the status of the dominant population group; and the opening of national borders to both investment and migration. The analysis shows the continuing salience and ideological relevance of national identity

description: The objective of the study was to evaluate the social insurance of farmers. The study data were secondary materials of CSO and ASIF concerning insurance for farmers. The data show that since 2006 the number of insured farmers in the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund exceeds the number of beneficiaries. Among the major expenses pension fund, the highest percentage in 2011 accounted for farmers’ pensions (66.1%) and agricultural pension (14.6%). However, among the income pension fund, the highest percentage in 2011 accounted for subsidies from the state budget (91.3%) and premium (8.4%).

description: For a class of one-dimensional mass transport models we present a simple and direct test on the chipping functions, which define the probabilities for mass to be transferred to neighbouring sites, to determine whether the stationary distribution is factorized. In cases where the answer is affirmative, we provide an explicit method for constructing the single-site weight function. As an illustration of the power of this approach, previously known results on the Zero-range process and Asymmetric random average process are recovered in a few lines. We also construct new models, namely a generalized Zero-range process and a binomial chipping model, which have factorized steady states.

description: Four-center two-electron Coulomb integrals routinely appear in electronic structure algorithms. The resolution-of-the-identity (RI) is a popular technique to reduce the computational cost for the numerical evaluation of these integrals in localized basis-sets codes. Recently, Duchemin and Blase proposed a separable RI scheme [J. Chem. Phys. 150, 174120 (2019)], which preserves the accuracy of the standard global RI method with the Coulomb metric (RI-V) and permits the formulation of cubic-scaling random phase approximation (RPA) and $GW$ approaches. Here, we present the implementation of a separable RI scheme within an all-electron numeric atom-centered orbital framework. We present comprehensive benchmark results using the Thiel and the GW100 test set. Our benchmarks include atomization energies from Hartree-Fock, second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2), coupled-cluster singles and doubles, RPA and renormalized second-order perturbation theory as well as quasiparticle energies from $GW$. We found that the separable RI approach reproduces RI-free HF calculations within 9 meV and MP2 calculations within 1 meV. We have confirmed that the separable RI error is independent of the system size by including disordered carbon clusters up to 116 atoms in our benchmarks

description: The use of outsourcing can affect the factors that determine the competitiveness of the company. The high level of competitiveness should ensure the company’s ability to endure and enlarge the market share and the sustainable development in the long term. Polish food sector is competitive to other EU countries due to agricultural product prices and relatively low processing costs. Therefore, food businesses should develop and strengthen its competitive potential, which will give them a competitive advantage. This can be accomplished using a variety of management strategies, including the outsourcing. The purpose of this article is to present the possibilities and risks arising from the use of outsourcing in the process of creating competitiveness.

Communicative language teaching in Cambodian higher education: EFL teachers' beliefs and practices

description: This thesis reports on a study that examined the landscape of communicative language teaching (CLT) in higher education in Cambodia. It assessed how practitioners’ beliefs about CLT influenced their practices and the challenges they faced in integrating CLT into English language teaching. The participants in the study were Cambodian EFL (English as a foreign language) university teachers, their supervisors (i.e. vice deans who also taught) and students who had English as a major. By employing a concurrent nested mixed methods design, the study collected data through semi-structured interviews, surveys and document analysis. The study found that, while interactive teaching activities were favoured, the teachers often explained grammar lessons in the native Khmer language and used instructional drills to reinforce learning. They defined CLT as a student-centred approach that promotes interaction among teachers, students and peers. They emphasised the benefits of CLT for key education stakeholders, including students, teachers and education institutions. Moreover, the leveraging of technology was found to be a common practice among the participants and was perceived to be beneficial for student learning. However, challenges were evident, including the students’ inadequate English language proficiency and the teachers finding it difficult to implement CLT. Other challenges were inadequate continuing professional development (CPD) on digital technology, insufficient access to authentic teaching materials and other contextual barriers. To promote the effective implementation of CLT through enhanced CPD for teachers, the participants suggested that seven thematic categories were considered for improvement. The study offers practical directions for pedagogical approaches and policy development for English language learning in Cambodian higher education. The study acknowledges its limitations and suggests areas for future research to advance language teacher education and pedagogical approaches and sets the stage for creating more effective language learning environments for students in Cambodia and elsewhere.

description: Based on observations of the most abundant sulfur-bearing molecules (H2S, CS, NS, SO, H2CS, OCS, and SO2) carried out with the IRAM 30m telescope and SEST, we present the first analysis of the sulfur chemistry of an extragalactic source, the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy NGC 253. This is the first time that H2S and, tentatively, H2CS are detected towards the nucleus of a starburst galaxy. Source averaged fractional abundances of these molecules are a few 10^-9, except for CS and OCS which are more abundant (10^-8). Sulfur isotopic ratios, 32S/34S~8+-2 and 34S/33S>9, are measured through observations of 13CS, C34S, and C33S. A comparison with the observed relative abundances towards different prototypical Galactic sources suggests that the chemical composition of NGC 253 is similar to that found towards the molecular clouds complexes like Sgr B2 in the nuclear region of the Milky Way. The large overabundance of OCS compared to the predictions of time-dependent sulfur chemistry models supports the idea that OCS is likely injected into the gas phase from the grain mantles by low velocity shocks.

description: An overview on recent efforts in point-contact (PC) spectroscopy of title superconductors is given. Distinct phonon features and crystalline-electric-field effects are observed in PC spectra of HoNi2B2C. Results of study of superconducting (SC) gap and excess current versus temperature and magnetic field reflecting specific multi-band electronic structure in MgB2 are presented. The nature of the extremely nonlinear I(V) curves in the antiferromagnetic (AF) and SC state are elucidated for UPd2Al3 break-junctions and MgCNi3 point contacts.

description: A simple proof is given of the classical result due to Fatkullin and Slastikov (2005), Liu, Zhang and Zhang (2005) that critical points for the Onsager functional with the Maier-Saupe molecular interaction are axisymmetric, including the case of stable critical points with an additional dipole-dipole interaction (Zhou et al 2007). The proof avoids spherical polar coordinates, instead using an integral identity on the sphere $S^2$. For general interactions with absolutely continuous kernels the smoothness of all critical points is established, generalizing a result of Vollmer (2016) for the Onsager interaction. It is also shown that non-axisymmetric critical points exist for a wide variety of interactions including that of Onsager.
