description: We present some preliminary investigations about the AdS2*S2 D3-branes in AdS3*S3. We analyse the quadratic fluctuations of Dirac-Born-Infeld action around a given semi-classical D-brane configuration and compare them with results obtained by using conformal field theory techniques. We finally study classical motions of open strings attached to those D-branes and analyse the role of the spectral flow in this context.

description: Most of the field crop production of Serbia is located in the region of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. About 52% of the cereal-growing area and more than 92% of the industrial crop-growing area of Serbia are located in the Vojvodina Province. Corn, wheat, sunflower, soybean and sugar beet predominate in the sowing structure. The study focused on the economic efficiency of field crop production on family farms in Vojvodina during the period 2005-2009. The aim was to analyze family farms 6-20 ha in size oriented to the production of some major field crops. Although these farms accounted for only 16.4% of the total number of family farms in Vojvodina, they used about 45% of the total arable land. The survey method was used to sample the data on some major production parameters on the 50 family farms focused primarily on field crop production in Vojvodina during the five-year period (2005-2009). The data were used for calculation the gross margin for the field crops analyzed in order to determine the changes of the economic efficiency of the production of some major field crops.

description: The form factors for the hadron matrix element of the QCD energy-momentum tensor not only describe the coupling of the hadron with a graviton as the ``gravitational form factors'', but also serve as unique quantities for describing the shape inside the hadron reflecting dynamics of quarks and gluons, such as the internal shear forces acting on the quarks/gluons and their pressure distributions. We consider the gravitational form factors for a hadron, in particular, for a (pseudo)scalar hadron and for the nucleon. We derive and clarify the relations satisfied by the gravitational form factors as direct consequences of the symmetries and the equations of motion in QCD, and connections to the generalized parton distributions. Our results reveal that the gravitational form factors are related to the higher-twist quark-gluon correlation effects inside the hadrons and also to QCD trace anomaly.

description: The economic theory recognizes the necessity of fusion, as an important action of agrarian policy, through which it should be realized the fusion of the land ownership in the peasant households, but in a legislative plan, there is no own disposition, which could norm it as it was done with the other actions which have in view the movement of the land ownership, as are buying, sale, leasing, association and cooperation. From this reason, all efforts in the last period, made for the parcels fusion, have pertained exclusively to the farmers, and they were done through the actions mentioned above. The land fusion, in a conceptual plan, legislative and practical, is presently approached in a diffuse manner, superficial, and, mostly timidly and distortedly. That is why, through this study, even it is synthetic, we are addressing ourselves to the professional readers, but especially to the deciders in the agrarian policy, in the goal of forming up a favorable opinion current, to energize the actions of coagulating the land ownerships in our agriculture The agrarian policy, in an imperative formulation, must put into law, and at the same time, apply the fusion, which should have as finality the solving up of the land parceling problem in the peasant households, in a reasonable time period.

description: In the developed world, the modern buyer is very aware of the backlog of environmental problems and all the consequences for the health and quality of life in general. Therefore, their responsibility, to be sure of eliminating all those who behave environmentally irresponsible. Eco-marketing, as well as conventional marketing, are elements of marketing mix, but extended and adapted to modern conditions. As a logical consequence there is distinct increase in demand for ecological food products (products and services) and support to companies whose activities fit the demands of citizens and legislators, when it comes to ecology. Eco-marketing is slowly cease to be desire, but becomes a need for products that their products are placed on discerning market. Thus, with the standard information on the composition and quality of product, and instructions for use and terms of use, the information appearing on the eligibility of certain eco products. Showing the importance of marketing and Serbian able to place eco products on the market of Europe is the essence of this paper.

description: Tourism has become the leading economic sector of many countries. This is witnessed by the country's revenues realized, as well as many other indicators. In the nineties of the twentieth century, the emphasis in the tourist development was placed on tourism of specific interests, as opposed to the hitherto dominant mass tourism. Noticeable is the increased demand for new forms of tourism additional offers that contemporary (urban) tourists harder, and who can offer a large part in rural areas. Development of rural tourism has given good results in Western European countries. Bearing this in mind, today there are a large number of economically less developed countries that have lost the race in industrial development with a highly developed countries, and that their chance see in development of rural tourism. Such a position are based on the ecological preservation of the rural areas, anthropogenic rich rural heritage, and the degree of industrialization which is in lags behind from the developed countries of Western Europe and America. In paper work was conducted defining rural tourism and identified factors which have influence to the strengthening of the competitiveness of some rural tourist destination with special emphasis on ecology and sustainable development.

description: The new age creates the possibility that the social, material and spiritual living conditions needs of all people are developing optimally by their quantity and quality. A wide spread theoretical opinion is that tourism activity already has a special treatment, because as a necessary and generally segment of a life of contemporary man it is considered as a factor of development of the entire economy and society. Unfavorable economic trends in the last years of the twentieth century affected the tourist economy of Serbia, which after years of relative success experienced a decline. This paper, in a concise way, emphasizes the importance of tourism in the process of stimulating or activating the working age population of the Southern Backa District. Among other things, the aim is to highlight the fact that tourism is an economic sector, that will contribute faster growth of entire country economy.

description: Households in rural Kenya are sensitive to weather shocks through their reliance on rain-fed agriculture and livestock. Yet the extent of vulnerability is poorly understood, particularly in reference to extreme weather. This paper uses temporally and spatially disaggregated weather data and three waves of household panel survey data to understand the impact of weather extremes –including periods of high and low rainfall, heat, and wind– on household welfare. Particular attention is paid to heterogeneous effects across agro-ecological regions. We find that all types of extreme weather affect household well-being, although effects sometimes differ for income and calorie estimates.

description: In this study, we have reported a novel wastewater treatment technique by phenol imprinted bacterial cellulose (BC-MIP) nanofibers with high specificity and adsorption capacity. N-methacryloyl-(L)-amido phenylalanine (MAPA) functional monomer was used to create specific binding sites for the template molecule phenol via electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. BC-MIP nanofibers were synthesized by surface imprinting approach in the presence of different amounts of total monomer (% weight), monomer/template ratio and polymerization time. Then, the nanofibers were characterized by FTIR-ATR, surface area analysis (BET), elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle measurements. Adsorption studies were performed with respect to pH, temperature and ionic strength, and the adsorption capacity was calculated by using the spectrophotometer. In order to desorb the adsorbed phenol from BC-MIP nanofibers, 0.1 M NaCl solution was used. Besides, BC-MIP nanofibers were applied to real wastewater samples from Ergene basin in Turkey. The suitable equilibrium isotherm was determined as Langmuir isotherm. To evaluate the selectivity of the BC-MIP nanofibers, similar molecules were utilized as non-template molecules, which were 2-chlorophenol, 4-chlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol. Electrostatic interactions were found to contribute to the generation of specific recognition binding sites. The results have shown that imprinting of phenol was achieved successfully with high adsorption capacity. The phenol removal efficiency was reported up to 97%. BC-MIP nanofibers were used 10 times with a negligible decrease in adsorption capacity.

description: A lack of electricity has devastating consequences for any economy. Since early 2015, Zambia experienced a 2,100 gigawatt-hours (GWh) power deficit triggering countrywide power rationing. We assess the impact of power rationing on Zambia’s agricultural sector, and the costs to firms operating in the agricultural sector. Our analysis reveals economy-wide losses amounting to ZMW 32,496,100,813 (representing 18.8% of the GDP). Losses to the agricultural sector are estimated at ZMW 2,827,160,771 (representing 1.6% of the GDP), and are likely to stifle future economic growth.

description: We investigate the Gross-Prasad conjecture and its refinement for the Bessel periods in the case of $\left(\mathrm{SO}\left(5\right),\mathrm{SO}\left(2\right)\right)$. In particular, by combining several theta correspondences, we prove the Ichino-Ikeda type formula for any tempered irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations. As a corollary of our formula, we prove an explicit formula relating certain weighted averages of Fourier coefficients of holomorphic Siegel cusp forms of degree two which are Hecke eigenforms to central special values of $L$-functions. The formula is regarded as a natural generalization of the Böcherer conjecture to the non-trivial toroidal character case.

description: The relativistic and nonrelativistic finite temperature proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation (FT-PNQRPA) methods are developed to study the interplay of the pairing and temperature effects on the Gamow-Teller excitations in open-shell nuclei, as well as to explore the model dependence of the results by using two rather different frameworks for effective nuclear interactions. The Skyrme-type functional SkM* is employed in the nonrelativistic framework, while the density-dependent meson-exchange interaction DD-ME2 is implemented in the relativistic approach. Both the isoscalar and isovector pairing interactions are taken into account within the FT-PNQRPA. Model calculations show that below the critical temperatures the Gamow-Teller excitations display a sensitivity to both the finite temperature and pairing effects, and this demonstrates the necessity for implementing both in the theoretical framework. The established FT-PNQRPA opens perspectives for the future complete and consistent description of astrophysically relevant weak interaction processes in nuclei at finite temperature such as $β$-decays, electron capture, and neutrino-nucleus reactions.

description: The demand for uniformly sized and shaped produce that are aesthetically pleasing results in significant food waste throughout the world. Cucumber waste is a major agricultural waste product in a number of countries, especially areas with high pickle production. Opportunity exists for wastewater treatment plants containing anaerobic digesters to utilize cucumber agricultural and industrial waste for biogas production. The biomethane potential (BMP) of cucumber waste as a substrate for co-digestion with sewage sludge was assessed. The impact of long term co-digestion of cucumber was then evaluated using mesophilic continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTRs), in both single and two-stage anaerobic co-digestion with sewage sludge. Ground cucumber waste was added to sewage sludge at 8% of the volume (4.5 to 4.6 % of the organic load) and CSTRs were maintained for five hydraulic retention times (HRTs). One-stage co-digestion of cucumber waste produced comparable gas levels as CSTRs without cucumbers (averaging 219 and 221 m3/kgVS/hr, respectively) after two HRTs. The two-stage cucumber co-digestion CSTR averaged 64% higher specific gas than the control and single stage digester, although the volumetric gas produced was lower (averaging 152 m3/kgVS/hr) likely due to gas loss in the first stage resulting in a lower organic load rate. After 4 HRTs, relative methanogen content showed dramatic differences in levels of hydrogenotrophic methanogens for the two-stage digester, while the one-stage digester containing cucumber waste showed minor differences relative to the control. Cucumber waste co-digestion with sewage sludge is effective although numerous conditions could be utilized to optimize gas production.

description: The effects of the discharge voltage on the formation and nature of electric field transients in a symmetric, collisionless, very high frequency, capacitively coupled plasma are studied using a self-consistent particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation code. At a driving frequency of 60 MHz and 5 mTorr of argon gas pressure, the discharge voltage is varied from 10V to 150 V for a fixed discharge gap. It is observed that an increase in the discharge voltage causes filamentation in the electric field transients and to create multiple higher harmonics in the bulk plasma. Correspondingly, higher harmonics, up to 7th harmonic, in the discharge current are also observed. The power in the higher harmonics increases with a rise in the discharge voltage. The plasma density continues to increase with the discharge voltage but in a non-linear manner, whereas, the bulk electron temperature decreases. Meanwhile, the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) evolves from a Maxwellian at lower discharge voltages to a bi-Maxwellian at higher discharge voltages.

description: Respiratory rate (RR) is an important biomarker as RR changes can reflect severe medical events such as heart disease, lung disease, and sleep disorders. Unfortunately, standard manual RR counting is prone to human error and cannot be performed continuously. This study proposes a method for continuously estimating RR, RRWaveNet. The method is a compact end-to-end deep learning model which does not require feature engineering and can use low-cost raw photoplethysmography (PPG) as input signal. RRWaveNet was tested subject-independently and compared to baseline in four datasets (BIDMC, CapnoBase, WESAD, and SensAI) and using three window sizes (16, 32, and 64 seconds). RRWaveNet outperformed current state-of-the-art methods with mean absolute errors at optimal window size of 1.66 \pm 1.01, 1.59 \pm 1.08, 1.92 \pm 0.96 and 1.23 \pm 0.61 breaths per minute for each dataset. In remote monitoring settings, such as in the WESAD and SensAI datasets, we apply transfer learning to improve the performance using two other ICU datasets as pretraining datasets, reducing the MAE by up to 21$\%$. This shows that this model allows accurate and practical estimation of RR on affordable and wearable devices. Our study also shows feasibility of remote RR monitoring in the context of telemedicine and at home.

description: Convolution neural network models are widely used in image classification tasks. However, the running time of such models is so long that it is not the conforming to the strict real-time requirement of mobile devices. In order to optimize models and meet the requirement mentioned above, we propose a method that replaces the fully-connected layers of convolution neural network models with a tree classifier. Specifically, we construct a Visual Confusion Label Tree based on the output of the convolution neural network models, and use a multi-kernel SVM plus classifier with hierarchical constraints to train the tree classifier. Focusing on those confusion subsets instead of the entire set of categories makes the tree classifier more discriminative and the replacement of the fully-connected layers reduces the original running time. Experiments show that our tree classifier obtains a significant improvement over the state-of-the-art tree classifier by 4.3% and 2.4% in terms of top-1 accuracy on CIFAR-100 and ImageNet datasets respectively. Additionally, our method achieves 124x and 115x speedup ratio compared with fully-connected layers on AlexNet and VGG16 without accuracy decline.

description: We classify all apartness relations definable in propositional logics extending intuitionistic logic using Heyting algebra semantics. We show that every Heyting algebra which contains a non-trivial apartness term satisfies the weak law of excluded middle, and every Heyting algebra which contains a tight apartness term is in fact a Boolean algebra. This answers a question of E. Rijke regarding the correct notion of apartness for propositions, and yields a short classification of apartness terms that can occur in a Heyting algebra. We also show that Martin-Löf Type Theory is not able to construct non-trivial apartness relations between propositions.

description: Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently debuted as participants and solid supports in catalysts for environmental application in water treatment. Visible light active nanocomposites; ZnO/MIL-101(Fe); were synthesized via a hydrothermal method by loading ZnO; prepared by a green method; on a porous MIL-101(Fe) to be used as a heterogeneous catalyst for Rhodamine B dye (RhB) degradation as a model pollutant. The effect of adding acetic acid during the preparation of MIL-101(Fe) was studied; [A] used for the samples prepared by acetic acid. The prepared catalysts were characterized by XPS, XRD, zeta potential, TGA, FTIR, N2 adsorption–desorption measurements, SEM, EDX, elemental mapping, TEM, and UV–VIS diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The loading of ZnO on MIL-101(Fe) decreased the band gap from 3.2 eV for ZnO to be 2.85 eV for ZnO/MIL-101(Fe)[A], this low band gap explaining the obtained high activity under visible light irradiation. The mechanism of the photocatalytic degradation of RhB was investigated by introducing different scavengers to compete for the possible reactive species involved in the degradation process. The trapping experiments indicated that h+ and •OH have a vital role in the RhB degradation. The reusability of MIL-101(Fe) was also investigated after three runs. Thus, the synthesized ZnO/MIL-101(Fe)[A] could be used as an alternative catalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of coloured wastewater as it can successfully degrade 97.1% of Rhodamine B (10 mg/L) with high reaction rate (k = 0.0339 min−1) under visible light irradiation for 300 min using 0.5 g/L of the catalyst. The as-prepared ZnO/MIL-101(Fe) and ZnO/MIL-101(Fe)[A] have competitive photocatalytic dye degradation activity. (a) Photodegradation of RhB using different photocatalysts under visible light irradiation, and (b) Effect on different catalysts on the constant rate (k, min−1) of RhB degradation under both UV and visible light irradiations (Co=10 mg/L and 0.5 g/L catalyst dose).

description: We introduce the concept of shape operator and rotating blade (also known in the theory of embedded Riemannian manifolds as the second fundamental form and the Gauss map) in the realm of Yang-Mills theories. Hence we arrive at new gauge-invariant variables, which can serve as an alternative to the usual gauge potentials.

description: Bilingual lexicon induction (BLI) with limited bilingual supervision is a crucial yet challenging task in multilingual NLP. Current state-of-the-art BLI methods rely on the induction of cross-lingual word embeddings (CLWEs) to capture cross-lingual word similarities; such CLWEs are obtained 1) via traditional static models (e.g., VecMap), or 2) by extracting type-level CLWEs from multilingual pretrained language models (mPLMs), or 3) through combining the former two options. In this work, we propose a novel semi-supervised post-hoc reranking method termed BLICEr (BLI with Cross-Encoder Reranking), applicable to any precalculated CLWE space, which improves their BLI capability. The key idea is to 'extract' cross-lingual lexical knowledge from mPLMs, and then combine it with the original CLWEs. This crucial step is done via 1) creating a word similarity dataset, comprising positive word pairs (i.e., true translations) and hard negative pairs induced from the original CLWE space, and then 2) fine-tuning an mPLM (e.g., mBERT or XLM-R) in a cross-encoder manner to predict the similarity scores. At inference, we 3) combine the similarity score from the original CLWE space with the score from the BLI-tuned cross-encoder. BLICEr establishes new state-of-the-art results on two standard BLI benchmarks spanning a wide spectrum of diverse languages: it substantially outperforms a series of strong baselines across the board. We also validate the robustness of BLICEr with different CLWEs.

description: Liquid water oceans are at the center of our search for life on exoplanets because water is a strict requirement for life as we know it. However, oceans are dynamic habitats---and some oceans may be better hosts for life than others. In Earth's ocean, circulation transports essential nutrients such as phosphate and is a first-order control on the distribution and productivity of life. Of particular importance is upward flow from the dark depths of the ocean in response to wind-driven divergence in surface layers. This `upwelling' returns essential nutrients that tend to accumulate at depth via sinking of organic particulates back to the sunlit regions where photosynthetic life thrives. Ocean dynamics are likely to impose constraints on the activity and atmospheric expression of photosynthetic life in exo-oceans as well, but we lack an understanding of how ocean dynamics may differ on other planets. We address this issue by exploring the sensitivity of ocean dynamics to a suite of planetary parameters using ROCKE-3D, a fully coupled ocean-atmosphere GCM. Our results suggest that planets that rotate slower and have higher surface pressure than Earth may be the most attractive targets for remote life detection because upwelling is enhanced under these conditions, resulting in greater nutrient supply to the surface biosphere. Seasonal deepening of the mixed layer on high obliquity planets may also enhance nutrient replenishment from depth into the surface mixed layer. Efficient nutrient recycling favors greater biological activity, more biosignature production, and thus more detectable life. More generally, our results demonstrate the importance of considering oceanographic phenomena for exoplanet life detection and motivate future interdisciplinary contributions to the emerging field of exo-oceanography.

description: In the present paper, we consider the Chern-Simons-Schrödinger system \begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{aligned} &-\varepsilon^{2}Δu+V(x)u+(A_{0}+A_{1}^{2}+A_{2}^{2})u=|u|^{p-2}u,\,\,\,\,x\in \mathbb{R}^2,\\ &\partial_1 A_0 = A_2 u^2,\ \partial_{2}A_{0}=-A_{1}u^{2},\\ &\partial_{1}A_{2}-\partial_{2}A_{1}=-\frac{1}{2}|u|^{2},\ \partial_{1}A_{1}+\partial_{2}A_{2}=0,\\ \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation} where $p>2,$ $\varepsilon>0$ is a parameter and $V:\mathbb{R}^{2}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a bounded continuous function. Under some mild assumptions on $V(x)$, we show the existence and local uniqueness of positive multi-peak solutions. Our methods mainly use the finite dimensional reduction method, various local Pohozaev identities, blow-up analysis and the maximum principle. Because of the nonlocal terms involved by $A_{0},A_{1}$ and $A_{2},$ we have to obtain a series of new and technical estimates.

description: Patterning of diamond-like carbon (DLC) and DLC:metal nanocomposites is of interest for an increasing number of applications. We demonstrate a nanoimprint lithography process based on silicon containing thermoplastic resist combined with plasma etching for straightforward patterning of such films. A variety of different structures with few hundred nanometer feature size and moderate aspect ratios were successfully realized. The quality of produced patterns was directly investigated by the means of optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Such structures were further assessed by employing them in the development of gratings for guided mode resonance (GMR) effect. Optical characterization of such leaky waveguide was compared with numerical simulations based on rigorous coupled wave analysis method with good agreement. The use of such structures as refractive index variation sensors is demonstrated with sensitivity up to 319 nm/RIU, achieving an improvement close to 450% in sensitivity compared to previously reported similar sensors. This pronounced GMR signal fully validates the employed DLC material, the technology to pattern it and the possibility to develop DLC based gratings as corrosion and wear resistant refractometry sensors that are able to operate under harsh conditions providing great value and versatility.

description: Hexavalent chromium becomes in one of the tops internationally concern environmental issues due to its wide usage in several industrial activities. There are two stable oxidation states of chromium in the environment which differ significantly on its toxicity; Cr(III) has lower solubility, mobility and lesser biological toxicity in comparison with Cr(VI). While Cr(VI) is a well-known carcinogen, Cr(III) is an essential dietary element. For this reason, most technologies focus attention on the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). On this context, the ability of microorganisms to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) has gained attention. The objectives of the present work were to analyze the effect of Cr(VI) on the activated sludge community in a continuous reactor, and to evaluate the differences on the metabolic activity of native (NAS) and Cr(VI)-acclimated activated sludge (CrAAS) using a respirometric method. Results showed that the activated sludge community had the capability to acclimate to the presence of Cr(VI). On the other hand, the increase of the initial Cr(VI) concentration from 0 to 100 mgCr/L leads to a decrease in the specific exogenous respiration rate (qEx) values, but this reduction was more noticeably in the case of NAS in comparison with CrAAS. The respirometric curves were well described by the proposed mathematical model. It was concluded that the CrAAS tolerated a Cr(VI) concentration about one order of magnitude higher than NAS, which was positively reflected in the respiration rate first-order decay constant (kd), the specific maximum exogenous respiration rate (qExm), and the observed oxidation coefficient (YO/S) values.
