description: The performance of the method of angular moments on the $ΔΓ_s$ determination from analysis of untagged decays $B^0_s(t),\bar{B}^0_s(t)\to J/ψ(\to l^+l^-)ϕ(\to K^+K^-)$ is examined. The results of Monte Carlo studies with evaluation of measurement errors are presented. The method of angular moments gives stable results for the estimate of $ΔΓ_s$ and is found to be an efficient and flexible tool for the quantitative investigation of the $B^0_s\to J/ψϕ$ decay. The statistical error of the ratio $ΔΓ_s/Γ_s$ for values of this ratio in the interval [0.03, 0.3] was found to be independent on this value, being 0.015 for $10^5$ events.

description: Water supply pipes age, deteriorate and break, which puts at risk the continuous provision of safe potable water endangering the public health in cities. Risk management methods are increasingly applied to optimise the capital investment for pipe replacement and rehabilitation, taking into account the probability and hydraulic impact of pipe breaks. As part of this process, however, historic pipe break data and statistical methods should be utilised to gather causal insights for past breaks to inform operational changes and/or capital investment decisions in order to reduce future breaks. This paper presents a comparative study of statistical and machine learning methods to carry out an exploratory causal analysis for historic pipe breaks in an operational water supply network. Regression models for count data and probabilistic models have been developed. The performance of these models was assessed and enhanced with the introduction of interactions and the inclusion of different network representations.

AbstractVoclosporin (Lupkynis™), a novel calcineurin inhibitor, is effective as an add-on to background immunosuppressive therapy in adults with active lupus nephritis. Voclosporin, in combination with mycophenolate mofetil and low-dose steroids, achieved higher complete renal response rates in adults with active lupus nephritis than mycophenolate mofetil and low-dose steroids alone. Voclosporin treatment led to early and sustained reductions in proteinuria. Voclosporin was generally well tolerated, with no unexpected adverse events.

description: Gully pots are utilized for conveying runoff to drainage systems, as well as for reducing the system’s solids loading by retaining suspended solids. However, the accumulation of solids in gully pots reduces their removal efficiency, leading to an increase in solids transport towards the drainage system. This article aims to identify the main drivers of the solids accumulation in gully pots and, thus the relevant processes for wash-off models. The solids accumulation rates in 407 gully pots were monitored within a period of ~14 months and were analysed by means of a linear mixed model and a regression tree. The parameters vegetation factor, rainfall volume, and filling degree are the main drivers of the accumulation process. These parameters are linked to the solids build-up in a catchment, solids transport, and solids retention in gully pots, which means that none of these 3 processes is dominant.

description: In today’s stressful entrepreneurial environment, avoiding crisis by applying business continuity management processes may be considered a competitive advantage. Business continuity management also facilitates the elimination of threats caused by internal and external environments. It is grounded on procedures arising from good practice and organizations use them in the form of normative documents. The main goal of the article is to identify whether it is important to apply business continuity standards in selected sectors and to identify possible advantages and disadvantages for organizations. The article has been drawn up on the basis of the evaluation of a questionnaire survey (N=779; n=106) and interviews. The application of official standards by individual organizations enhances efficiency when determining necessary business continuity management processes in unfavourable situations. Last but not least, it shortens the period of restoration of key processes which, however, differ in individual economic sectors. This contribution is a follow-up to the project of CULS – wide internal grant agency (CIGA), no. 20121001 – Business continuity management contributing to higher performance in organizations.

The role of surface depletion layer effects on the enhancement of the UV emission in ZnO induced by a nanostructured Al surface coating

description: The UV enhancement of Al-coated ZnO single crystals with a wide range of carrier densities is systematically studied using depth-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) and photoluminescence (PL) as well as valence band X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (VB-XPS). AN up to 17-fold enhanced PL UV emission for Al-coated ZnO with the highest carrier density (2 x 10^17 cm^-3) was measured, which falls to a 12-fold increase for the lowest carrier density (3 x 10^13 cm^-3). Depth-resolved CL measurements confirm that the enhancement is strongest near the metal coating-ZnO interface consistent with an increased UV emission due to an exciton-localized surface plasmon coupling mechanism. Correlative CL, PL and VB-XPS studies reveal that a number of additional effects to the presence of the Al surface coating also contribute to the UV enhancement factor. These include increased UV enhancement due to the formation of a surface depletion layer induced by the metal surface coating, which also passivates competitive non-radiative surface recombination channels found in uncoated ZnO. Significantly, it was established that the magnitude of the emission enhancement factor can be raised in a controlled way by reducing the thickness of the depletion layer by increasing the carrier density. The contribution of these effects collectively provides an explanation for the large span of enhancement factors reported in the literature.

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

description: Instanton matrix models (IMM) for two dimensional string theories are obtained from the matrix quantum mechanics (MQM) of the T-dual theory. In this paper we study the connection between the IMM and MQM, which amounts to understand T-duality from the viewpoint of matrix models. We show that type 0A and type 0B matrix models perturbed by purely closed string momentum modes (or purely winding modes) have the integrable structure of Toda hierarchies, extending the well known results for c=1 string. In particular, we show that type 0A(0B) MQM perturbed by momentum modes has the same integrable structure as type 0B(0A) MQM perturbed by winding modes, which is a nontrivial check of the T-duality between the matrix models. The MQM deformed by NS-NS winding modes are used to study type 0 string in 2D black holes. We also find an intriguing connection between the IMM and the MQM via tachyon condensation. The array of alternating D-instantons and anti-D-instantons separated at the critical distance plays a key role in this picture. We discuss its implications on sD-branes in two dimensional string theories.

description: Like many low-income countries, Uganda is struggling to provide sanitation to its inhabitants. Meeting the Sustainable Development Goal related to sanitation (SDG6) will require major investments in sanitation. This study uses the concept of service regimes to analyze existing sanitation infrastructure and services and their respective costs. The service regimes investigated are the sewage regime and the fecal sludge (FS) regime. The results show that approximately 56% of the fecal flow in Kampala is estimated as ‘safely managed’. The results also show that the annual per capita costs for the sewage regime (USD 186) are more than 13-fold those for the FS regime (USD 14). Additionally, there are large differences in subsidies between the regimes. When allocating public funds, decision-makers are advised to consider (i) number of customers within regimes, (ii) total capital and operating costs of services, (iii) cost allocation between stakeholders, and (iv) infrastructure performance.

description: Protection of indications of geographical origin (GIs) can reduce information asymmetry between producers and consumers, and potentially enhance trade. However, GIs can also possibly divert trade. We rely on panel data about agri-food trade among the 27 countries of the European Union to investigate these issues using variations of estimators proposed by Head and Mayer (2000) and Santos Silva and Tenreyro (2006). Our findings suggest that the protection of GIs creates trade when the importing and exporting countries have GI-protected products. There is also empirical evidence regarding a trade-diverting effect when the importing country does not have GIs and a border enlargement effect arising from European GI-protection.
Large anomalous Nernst effect in a van der Waals ferromagnet Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$

description: Anomalous Nernst effect, a result of charge current driven by temperature gradient, provides a probe of the topological nature of materials due to its sensitivity to the Berry curvature near the Fermi level. Fe3GeTe2, one important member of the recently discovered two-dimensional van der Waals magnetic materials, offers a unique platform for anomalous Nernst effect because of its metallic and topological nature. Here, we report the observation of large anomalous Nernst effect in Fe3GeTe2. The anomalous Hall angle and anomalous Nernst angle are about 0.07 and 0.09 respectively, far larger than those in common ferromagnets. By utilizing the Mott relation, these large angles indicate a large Berry curvature near the Fermi level, consistent with the recent proposal for Fe3GeTe2 as a topological nodal line semimetal candidate. Our work provides evidence of Fe3GeTe2 as a topological ferromagnet, and demonstrates the feasibility of using two-dimensional magnetic materials and their band topology for spin caloritronics applications.

description: Neutralinos arise as natural dark matter candidates in many supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. We present a novel calculation of the neutralino relic abundance in which we include all so called coannihilation processes between neutralinos, charginos and sfermions, and, at the same time, we apply the state of the art technique to trace the freeze-out of a species in the early Universe. As a first application, we discuss here results valid in the mSUGRA framework; we enlight general trends as well as perform a detailed study of the neutralino relic densities in the mSUGRA parameter space. The emerging picture is fair agreement with previous analyses in the same framework, however we have the power to discuss it in many more details than previously done. E.g., we find that the cosmological bound on the neutralino mass is pushed up to ~565 GeV in the stau coannihilation region and to ~1500 GeV in the chargino coannihilation region.

description: A triple hurdle model is used to estimate cattle farmer willingness to adopt prescribed grazing on farmland east of the 100th meridian in response to a hypothetical incentive program. First the interest in adoption is modeled, then willingness to accept a hypothetical incentive, followed by modeling of acreage converted. Farm size did not influence program interest, but positively impacted acres converted among those interested. The supply elasticity of program acres with respect to an incentive is 0.13; thus an additional percent incentive is projected to result in an additional 0.13 percent of acres enrolled into the program on owned acres.

description: Recent analyses of the broad spectral energy distributions (SED) of extensive lobes of local radio-galaxies have confirmed the leptonic origin of their Fermi/LAT gamma-ray emission, significantly constraining the level of hadronic contribution. SED of distant (D > 125 Mpc) radio-galaxy lobes are currently limited to the radio and X-ray bands, hence give no information on the presence of non-thermal (NT) protons but are adequate to describe the properties of NT electrons. Modeling lobe radio and X-ray emission in 3C 98, Pictor A, DA 240, Cygnus A, 3C 326, and 3C 236, we fully determine the properties of intra-lobe NT electrons and estimate the level of the related gamma-ray emission from Compton scattering of the electrons off the superposed Cosmic Microwave Background, Extragalactic Background Light, and source-specific radiation fields.

description: Numerous learning methods for fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs), such as the Hebbian-based and the population-based learning methods, have been developed for modeling and simulating dynamic systems. However, these methods are faced with several obvious limitations. Most of these models are extremely time consuming when learning the large-scale FCMs with hundreds of nodes. Furthermore, the FCMs learned by those algorithms lack robustness when the experimental data contain noise. In addition, reasonable distribution of the weights is rarely considered in these algorithms, which could result in the reduction of the performance of the resulting FCM. In this article, a straightforward, rapid, and robust learning method is proposed to learn FCMs from noisy data, especially, to learn large-scale FCMs. The crux of the proposed algorithm is to equivalently transform the learning problem of FCMs to a classic-constrained convex optimization problem in which the least-squares term ensures the robustness of the well-learned FCM and the maximum entropy term regularizes the distribution of the weights of the well-learned FCM. A series of experiments covering two frequently used activation functions (the sigmoid and hyperbolic tangent functions) are performed on both synthetic datasets with noise and real-world datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed method is rapid and robust against data containing noise and that the well-learned weights have better distribution. In addition, the FCMs learned by the proposed method also exhibit superior performance in comparison with the existing methods.

In the case of longitudinally stratified thin flux tube, the fundamental and higher order kink frequencies are computed. The results are in good agreements with previous studies.

description: Fluctuations may govern the fate of an interacting particle system even on the mean-field level. This is demonstrated via a three species cyclic trapping reaction with a large, yet finite number of particles, where the final number of particles N_f scales logarithmically with the system size N, N_f ~ ln N. Statistical fluctuations, that become significant as the number of particles diminishes, are responsible for this behavior. This phenomenon underlies a broad range of interacting particle systems including in particular multispecies annihilation processes.

description: This paper deals with the safety evaluation of agrarian portals operated in the Czech Republic. It focuses mainly on security authentication process when accessing remote servers. The security of internet banking application has high level but the safety of agrarian portals seems to be very low. However, these systems contain sensitive data that must be adequately secured. The assessment covers “eAGRI” portal, “Portál farmáře” (Farmers portal), “Internet pro chovatele” (Internet for breeders) and “Agromanuál”. Two most popular domestic portals – „seznam.cz” and “Datové schránky” (Data boxes) were also included to compare the results of agricultural portals security. The aim of this paper is to point out the lack of security in relation to the management of user identities and suggest measures to improve safety.

description: The conventional integration theory on supermanifolds had been constructed so as to possess (an analog of) Stokes' formula. In it, the exterior differential d is vital and the integrand is a section of a fiber bundle of finite rank. Other, not so popular, but, nevertheless, known integrations are analogs of Berezin integral associated with infinite dimensional fibers. Here I offer other unconventional integrations that appear thanks to existence of several versions of traces and determinants and do not allow Stokes formula. Such unconventional integrations have no counterpart on manifolds except in characteristic p. Another type of invariants considered are analogs of the cross ratio for ``classical superspaces''. As a digression, homological fields corresponding to simple Lie algebras and superalgebras are described.

Demographic variables (age, education, ethnicity, etc.) can impact performance on these measures, underscoring the need for demographically adjusted norms. We aimed to develop normative data for the PASAT and LNS for Spanish-speaking adults living in the U.S.-Mexico border region as part of a larger normative effort. Participants were native Spanish-speakers from the Neuropsychological Norms for the U.S. Mexico Border Region in Spanish (NP-NUMBRS) project. Two hundred and forty-nine participants completed the PASAT and 202 participants completed LNS. Ages ranged from 19 to 60 and education from 0 to 20 years. Older age was associated with lower scores on LNS (p < .01) but not PASAT. Lower education was associated with lower scores on both tests (ps < .001). Women obtained lower raw scores than men on PASAT (ps < .003), and there were no significant main effects of gender on LNS raw scores. Raw-to-scaled score conversions were calculated, and fractional polynomial equations were developed to calculate demographically-adjusted T-scores accounting for age, education, and gender. Published norms for English-speaking non-Hispanic Whites substantially overestimated rates of impairment (defined as T-score < 40) on both the PASAT and LNS. The use of the population-specific normative data may improve detection of working memory dysfunction in U.S. Spanish-speaking adults and contribute to improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning in this population. Whether the norms generalize to U.S. Spanish-speakers from other countries remains to be determined.

description: The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is among the most commonly used tests of executive functioning. We aimed to generate normative data on the 64-item version of this test (WCST-64) for Spanish-speakers living in the U.S.–Mexico Border region. Participants included 189 native Spanish-speakers (Age: 19–60; Education: 0–20; 59.3% female) from the Neuropsychological Norms for the U.S.–Mexico Border Region in Spanish (NP-NUMBRS) project who completed the WCST-64. Univariable and interactive associations between demographic variables and raw scores were examined via Spearman correlations, Wilcoxon Rank-sum tests and linear regressions. T-scores for various WCST-64 measures (Total Errors, Perseverative Responses, Perseverative Errors, Conceptual Level Responses and Number of Categories) were obtained using fractional polynomial equations with weights for age, education, and gender. Percentile scores were reported for Failures to Maintain Set. Rates of impairment (T-score < 40) were calculated by applying the newly developed norms and published norms for non-Hispanic English-speaking Whites and Blacks. Older age was associated with worse performance and education was linked to better performance on most WCST-64 raw scores, with stronger education effects among females than males. The norms developed here resulted in expected rates of impairment (14–16% across measures). Applying published norms for non-Hispanic Blacks resulted in generally comparable impairment rates. In contrast, applying previously published norms for non-Hispanic Whites overestimated impairment (38–52% across measures). These data will enhance interpretation performance on the WCST-64 for Spanish-speakers living in the U.S.–Mexico Border region. Future work will need to examine the generalizability of these norms to other Hispanic/Latino groups.

Kugo-Ojima confinement criterion, Zwanziger-Gribov horizon condition, and infrared critical exponents in Landau gauge QCD

description: The Kugo-Ojima confinement criterion and its relation to the infrared behaviour of the gluon and ghost propagators in Landau gauge QCD are reviewed. The realization of this confinement criterion (which in Landau gauge relates to Zwanziger's horizon condition) results from quite general properties of the ghost Dyson-Schwinger equation. The numerical solutions for the gluon and ghost propagators obtained from a truncated set of Dyson-Schwinger equations provide an explicit example for the anticipated infrared behaviour. These results are in good agreement, also quantitatively, with corresponding lattice data obtained recently. The resulting running coupling approaches a fixed point in the infrared, $α(0) = 8.9/N_c$. Solutions for the coupled system of Dyson-Schwinger equations for the quark, gluon and ghost propagators are presented. Dynamical generation of quark masses and thus spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry is found. In the quenched approximation the quark propagator functions agree well with those of corresponding lattice calculations. For a small number of light flavours the quark, gluon and ghost propagators deviate only slightly from the quenched ones. While the positivity violation of the gluon spectral function is apparent in the gluon propagator, there are no clear indications of positivity violations in the Landau gauge quark propagator.

description: The Czech national law regulating accounting is not harmonized with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Because of this, all financial statements compiled according to Czech regulations are not comparable with IFRS statements. International users of accounting information, e.g. potential investors, therefore have problems to find valid information. This article analyzes the evaluation, accounting recording, and reporting of biological assets and agricultural produce in both accounting systems. It illustrates the principal differences, and explains their impact on financial statements information. Based on a case study, the paper recommends how to implement IFRS principles to the accounting system in Czech agriculture enterprises. The authors recommend using income statements with expenses by function, which is not commonly used by Czech entities. The research findings indicate possible changes in the Czech accounting and tax laws, which may lead to a “more true and fair view” of provided accounting information. The proposals should cause that accounting information provided by financial statements compiled according to Czech law would be identical with accounting information in compliance with IFRS principals. A questionnaire survey revealed scepticism of economists agricultural companies to use fair value as the measurement basis for biological assets and agricultural produce.
An End-to-End Encrypted Neural Network for Gradient Updates Transmission in Federated Learning

description: Federated learning is a distributed learning method to train a shared model by aggregating the locally-computed gradient updates. In federated learning, bandwidth and privacy are two main concerns of gradient updates transmission. This paper proposes an end-to-end encrypted neural network for gradient updates transmission. This network first encodes the input gradient updates to a lower-dimension space in each client, which significantly mitigates the pressure of data communication in federated learning. The encoded gradient updates are directly recovered as a whole, i.e. the aggregated gradient updates of the trained model, in the decoding layers of the network on the server. In this way, gradient updates encrypted in each client are not only prevented from interception during communication, but also unknown to the server. Based on the encrypted neural network, a novel federated learning framework is designed in real applications. Experimental results show that the proposed network can effectively achieve two goals, privacy protection and data compression, under a little sacrifice of the model accuracy in federated learning.

description: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are harmful to the environment and human health. A simple method was developed for the determination of 58 POPs, including 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), 18 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and 24 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), in atmospheric gaseous and particle-phase samples. Different extraction solvents, solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges and elution steps were used and compared to optimize the extraction efficiency. The POPs were isolated from the atmospheric samples by Soxhlet extraction using 1:1 acetone:n-hexane and separated using SPE cartridges. The fractions were collected by two-step elution with10 mL of n-hexane and 10 mL of 1:1 n-hexane:dichloromethane. The method validation showed that PAHs, PCBs and OCPs had good linearity, with the coefficients of determination higher than 0.995, from 2.5 to 800, 2.5 to 800, and 2.5 to 600 ng/mL, respectively. The average recoveries were 67–117%, 67–113%, and 73–114% for the PAHs, PCBs, and OCPs. The limits of detection for PAHs, PCBs, and OCPs were from 0.55 to 3.29, 0.09 to 2.00, and 0.57 to 4.86 pg/m3. The limits of quantification (LOQs) for PAHs, PCBs and OCPs were 1.80 to 10.48, 0.29 to 6.37, and 1.82 to 15.48 pg/m3. The applicability of the method was confirmed using an urban dust standard reference material. The method was employed for the analysis of atmospheric samples collected weekly for one-half year on the rooftop of a 14 m tall building in the downtown Mianyang, Sichuan, China. The developed method is demonstrated to accurately monitor persistent organic pollutants in the atmosphere.

description: The article makes a philosophical study of such a kind of virtual reality as cinematic virtual reality. The author of the article not only reveals the relationship of involvement with the establishment of the presence effect of a person in an artificially created world and the «suppression of disbelief», but also concludes that in cinematic virtual reality a kind of «care» about involvement is carried out. High engagement in cinematic virtual reality is ensured by suppressing disbelief through high-quality content created on the basis of many years of experience in cinematic practices.
