description: Direct observations over the past four centuries show that the number of sunspots observed on the Sun's surface vary periodically, going through successive maxima and minima. Following sunspot cycle 23, the Sun went into a prolonged minimum characterized by a very weak polar magnetic field and an unusually large number of days without sunspots. Sunspots are strongly magnetized regions and are generated by a dynamo mechanism which recreates the solar polar field mediated via plasma flows. Here we report results from kinematic dynamo simulations which demonstrate that a fast meridional flow in the early half of a cycle, followed by a slower flow in the latter half, reproduces both the characteristics of the minimum of sunspot cycle 23 - a large number of spotless days and a relatively weak polar field. Our model predicts that, in general, very deep minima are associated with weak polar fields. Sunspots govern the solar radiative energy and radio flux, and in conjunction with the polar field, modulate the solar wind, heliospheric open flux and consequently cosmic ray flux at Earth; our results therefore provide a causal link between solar internal dynamics and the atypical values of these heliospheric forcing parameters during the recently concluded solar minimum.

description: Between March to May 2010, Marina Abramović sat still and silent in the atrium of the Museum of Modern Art in New York as part of the exhibition The Artist is Present. Although the exhibition comprised a retrospective of her previous work, critical and popular attention focused upon the titular atrium performance. Garnering reflections from the likes of Colm Tóibín and Arthur Danto, the work was heralded as a great success. These written reflections, portraits of Abramović’s sitters, and associated documentary feature, present an account of a work that affected those who viewed it in both intense and at times contradictory ways. I argue that the work requires us to utilise the thought of two philosophers often considered at odds with each other – Hegel and Deleuze – to fully understand how such effects are generated. Beginning with Danto’s own reflections and analyses of the work, we first view the work through Danto’s neo-Hegelian aesthetics. When this proves insufficient, I shift to Robert Pippin’s neo-Hegelian concept of the ‘Modern’, before extending Hegel’s original artistic categories, following Jim Vernon’s work on the aesthetics of a contemporary artform (Hip Hop). This account, however, does not properly explain the actual experience of those who engaged with the work, primarily because a distinction that becomes apparent in the account of time we need to bring to it. Hence, engaging in a philosophical reading of the work prompts me to turn to Deleuze to analyse its temporal, event-like, and affective dimensions. I conclude with the suggestion that the work in fact gestures toward a break in the history of art, whose contours can be seen in the analysis provided through Hegel and Deleuze, and in their conjunction provides an account of The Artist is Present more complete than either might have provided alone.

description: We present a lattice QCD calculation of form factors for the decay $Λ_b \to p μ^- \barν$, which is a promising channel for determining the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ at the Large Hadron Collider. In this initial study we work in the limit of static b quarks, where the number of independent form factors reduces to two. We use dynamical domain-wall fermions for the light quarks, and perform the calculation at two different lattice spacings and at multiple values of the light-quark masses in a single large volume. Using our form factor results, we calculate the $Λ_b \to p μ^- \barν$ differential decay rate in the range $14 GeV^2 \leq q^2 \leq q^2_{max}$, and obtain the integral $\int_{14 GeV^2}^{q^2_{max}} [dΓ/dq^2] dq^2 / |V_{ub}|^2 = 15.3 \pm 4.2 ps^{-1}$. Combined with future experimental data, this will give a novel determination of $|V_{ub}|$ with about 15\% theoretical uncertainty. The uncertainty is dominated by the use of the static approximation for the b quark, and can be reduced further by performing the lattice calculation with a more sophisticated heavy-quark action.

description: Journal impact factor (IF) as a gauge of influence and impact of a particular journal comparing with other journals in the same area of research, reports the mean number of citations to the published articles in particular journal. Although, IF attracts more attention and being used more frequently than other measures, it has been subjected to criticisms, which overcome the advantages of IF. Critically, extensive use of IF may result in destroying editorial and researchers behaviour, which could compromise the quality of scientific articles. Therefore, it is the time of the timeliness and importance of a new invention of journal ranking techniques beyond the journal impact factor.

description: This paper looks at the present standing of ecommerce in Saudi Arabia, as well as the challenges and strengths of Business to Customers (B2C) electronic commerce. Many studies have been conducted around the world in order to gain a better understanding of the demands, needs and effectiveness of online commerce. A study was undertaken to review the literature identifying the factors influencing the adoption and diffusion of B2C e-commerce. It found four distinct categories: businesses, customers, environmental and governmental support, which must all be considered when creating an e-commerce infrastructure. A concept matrix was used to provide a comparison of important factors in different parts of the world. The study found that e-commerce in Saudi Arabia was lacking in Governmental support as well as relevant involvement by both customers and retailers.

description: This research aims to determine the research mapping around the Dividend ratio Per Share (DPS) in Sharia and Conventional Banking with a mix-method approach, namely VOSviewer bibliometric studies and Library Researchs. Data analysis techniques include: (1) mapping the distribution of journal publications around the DPS ratio; (2) mapping the results of VOSviewer bibliometric visualization around the DPS ratio based on the number of clusters and items; and (3) mapping research topics around the DPS ratio using literature studies reviews. The research results show that: (1) based on mapping the distribution of journal publications, there are 59 journal publications regarding the DPS ratio; (2) based on VOSviewer bibliometric study mapping, the network visualization results around the DPS ratio are divided into 6 clusters and 156 topic items; (3) based on literature study mapping review, there are 5 topics regarding the influence of the DPS ratio and 11 topics regarding the determinants of the DPS ratio. The implication and contribution of this research is to map research topics regarding DPS ratios in Sharia and Conventional Banking which are often or rarely researched by researchers, so that they can become a reference for subsequent researchers. Introduction Along with the development of the banking industry, the use of the Dividend Per Share (DPS) ratio has also changed. Financial phenomena related to DPS in the banking industry can vary depending on market conditions and the performance of each bank. Some phenomena that may occur related to DPS in banking include: (1) If banks experience poor perfo

description: There are different ways to define similarity for grouping similar texts into clusters, as the concept of similarity may depend on the purpose of the task. For instance, in topic extraction similar texts mean those within the same semantic field, whereas in author recognition stylistic features should be considered. In this study, we introduce ways to classify texts employing concepts of complex networks, which may be able to capture syntactic, semantic and even pragmatic features. The interplay between the various metrics of the complex networks is analyzed with three applications, namely identification of machine translation (MT) systems, evaluation of quality of machine translated texts and authorship recognition. We shall show that topological features of the networks representing texts can enhance the ability to identify MT systems in particular cases. For evaluating the quality of MT texts, on the other hand, high correlation was obtained with methods capable of capturing the semantics. This was expected because the golden standards used are themselves based on word co-occurrence. Notwithstanding, the Katz similarity, which involves semantic and structure in the comparison of texts, achieved the highest correlation with the NIST measurement, indicating that in some cases the combination of both approaches can improve the ability to quantify quality in MT. In authorship recognition, again the topological features were relevant in some contexts, though for the books and authors analyzed good results were obtained with semantic features as well. Because hybrid approaches encompassing semantic and topological features have not been extensively used, we believe that the methodology proposed here may be useful to enhance text classification considerably, as it combines well-established strategies.
Developing real-time physics constrained data-driven models for wet granulation processes
Creators: name: Sampat, Chaitanya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Digitization of manufacturing processes has led to an increase in availability of process data which has enabled the use of data-driven models to predict the outcomes of these manufacturing process. Data-driven models are instantaneous to simulate and can provide real-time predictions but lack any governing physics within their framework. When process data deviates from original conditions, the predictions from these models may not agree with physical boundaries. In such cases, the use of first principle-based models to predict process outcomes have proven to be effective but computationally inefficient. Data-driven model unlike their first-principle counterparts do not have the ability to scale across geometries. Thus, there remains a need to develop computationally efficient models with physical understanding about the process. Training data provided governs the range of the prediction of the data-driven model, thus these models also need for these models to adapt to new data, outside of the original domain is provided.In the first case study, the addition of physics-based boundary conditions to a neural network to improve its predictability for granule density and granule size distribution (GSD) for high shear granulation process was demonstrated. The physics-constrained neural network (PCNN) trained slower than traditional neural networks but with constrained outputs, it was able to predict the granule size growth within the steady growth regime accurately. When input data which violated physics-based boundaries was provided, the outputs from PCNN identified these points more accurately compared to other non-physics constrained neural network with an error of <1%. Thus, after incorporating physics, scaling of the model across geometries and different materials was undertaken. For this study, a collection of already published experimental data for twin screw granulation as leveraged. Several input parameters and outputs quality attributes were collected. Missing outputs were completed using data imputation which included both first principle as well as statistical methods. Completion of this data set also led to understanding the process dynamics and granule growth. This knowledge was then utilized to enforce physical boundaries on the outputs of a supervised autoencoder model. An added advantage to using an autoencoder over a traditional neural network was determination of reduced order latent variables that can describe the process dynamics well. In the final case study, the aim is to utilize the earlier developed steady state model in a more dynamic environment. The model would simultaneously optimize the energy efficiency of the twin screw granulation process while retraining the model itself when unknown conditions are encountered. This study would give the physics-constrained model the ability to extend its range for more accurate predictions and decreasing energy consumption.
Metabolic engineering of E. coli for biosynthesis of 4-hydroxybenzoate and its derivative hydroxyhydroquinone

description: 4-hydroxybenzoate(4HB), a phenolic derivative of benzoic acid that is ubiquitous in plants, is a valuable intermediate compound for many fine chemicals such as phenol, cis, cis-muconic acid, and protocatechuate. Currently, the commercial production of 4HB uses the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction which takes potassium phenoxide and carbon dioxide as the reactants. However, this reaction relies heavily on the utilization of petrochemicals and harsh production conditions, which is not environmentally friendly. Hence there is a pressing need for sustainable biosynthesis of 4HB from renewable feedstock materials. This dissertation focuses on using metabolic engineering tools to improve the 4HB and its derivative biosynthesis in Escherichia coli. Specifically, this thesis study uses a biosensor-assisted system to overcome the barrier in 4HB bioproduction. First, a biosensor-assisted cell-selection system was engineered to manipulate the availability of the 4HB sensor protein and its binding sites, which increased the selection pressure and promote 4HB production. Next, a quorum sensing system was coupled with the biosensor-assisted cell selection system for autonomous dynamic regulation of cell selection pressure. This strategy addressed the issue of uneven cell selection pressure during the cultivation and improved the 4HB production in E. coli. The success of this work demonstrates significant potential for wide applications of this methodology in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology for the bioproduction of other compounds. To expand the utility of 4HB biosynthesis, an artificial pathway was established in E. coli to enable the conversion of 4HB to hydroxyhydroquinone (HHQ). The cultivation method was optimized to address the instability issue of HHQ, and modular co-culture engineering strategies were also adopted to enable the de novo bioproduction from glucose. The results of this thesis study provide a new perspective on biosensor-based biosynthesis of metabolic engineering.

description: There is an ongoing debate in information systems (IS) about the different research paradigms among regional IS research communities (ISRCs). The Anglo-American ISRC tends to be more behaviorist, while the European, and especially the German-speaking, ISRC tends to be more constructivist. This results in marked disparities in use of research methodologies. Especially in empirical methods, the German- speaking ISRC seems to be not broadly enough positioned. However, empirical methods play a significant role when it comes to publications in high-ranking IS journals and are thus of particular importance. This study examines how the use of empirical methods in the German-speaking ISRC developed between 2010 and 2020 and to what extent this differs from the international ISRC. In this study, we conducted a literature analysis of journal articles of the German-speaking ISRC. We manually classified the used methodology and descriptively analyzed the results.
An Image Based Technique for Enhancement of Underwater Images

description: The underwater images usually suffers from non-uniform lighting, low contrast, blur and diminished colors. In this paper, we proposed an image based preprocessing technique to enhance the quality of the underwater images. The proposed technique comprises a combination of four filters such as homomorphic filtering, wavelet denoising, bilateral filter and contrast equalization. These filters are applied sequentially on degraded underwater images. The literature survey reveals that image based preprocessing algorithms uses standard filter techniques with various combinations. For smoothing the image, the image based preprocessing algorithms uses the anisotropic filter. The main drawback of the anisotropic filter is that iterative in nature and computation time is high compared to bilateral filter. In the proposed technique, in addition to other three filters, we employ a bilateral filter for smoothing the image. The experimentation is carried out in two stages. In the first stage, we have conducted various experiments on captured images and estimated optimal parameters for bilateral filter. Similarly, optimal filter bank and optimal wavelet shrinkage function are estimated for wavelet denoising. In the second stage, we conducted the experiments using estimated optimal parameters, optimal filter bank and optimal wavelet shrinkage function for evaluating the proposed technique. We evaluated the technique using quantitative based criteria such as a gradient magnitude histogram and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR). Further, the results are qualitatively evaluated based on edge detection results. The proposed technique enhances the quality of the underwater images and can be employed prior to apply computer vision techniques.

description: The density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy remains poorly constrained. Starting from precise empirical values of the nuclear volume and surface symmetry energy coefficients and the nuclear saturation density, we show how in the ambit of microscopic calculations with different energy density functionals, the value of the symmetry energy slope parameter $L$ alongwith that for neutron skin can be put in tighter bounds. The value of $L$ is found to be $L$= 64$\pm $5 MeV. For $^{208}$Pb, the neutron skin thickness comes out to be 0.188 $\pm $0.014 fm. Knowing $L$, the method can be applied to predict neutron skins of other nuclei.

description: Digital work is closely tied to the generation of employee data. In turn, increasing workplace digitalization leads to rising privacy challenges and corresponding employee privacy concerns. Understanding the role of privacy in digital workplaces is essential to enable digital work. On the one hand, the effects of employee privacy concerns are widely studied in research. On the other hand, little is known about what specific privacy challenges lead to employee privacy concerns in the first place. We interviewed 66 employees on their perceptions of privacy in digital workplaces. On this basis, this study proposes a conceptual model of privacy challenges that depicts mechanisms of digital work that influence employees’ privacy perceptions. Our findings underline the need to understand the emergence of employee privacy challenges to facilitate the changing nature of work.

description: Without having direct access to the information that is being exchanged, traces of information flow can be obtained by looking at temporal sequences of user interactions. These sequences can be represented as causality trees whose statistics result from a complex interplay between the topology of the underlying (social) network and the time correlations among the communications. Here, we study causality trees in mobile-phone data, which can be represented as a dynamical directed network. This representation of the data reveals the existence of super-spreaders and super-receivers. We show that the tree statistics, respectively the information spreading process, are extremely sensitive to the in-out degree correlation exhibited by the users. We also learn that a given information, e.g., a rumor, would require users to retransmit it for more than 30 hours in order to cover a macroscopic fraction of the system. Our analysis indicates that topological node-node correlations of the underlying social network, while allowing the existence of information loops, they also promote information spreading. Temporal correlations, and therefore causality effects, are only visible as local phenomena and during short time scales. These results are obtained through a combination of theory and data analysis techniques.

description: Chandra HETG spectra of the coronally active binary stars sigma Gem and HR 1099 are among the highest fluence observations for such systems taken at high spectral resolution in x-rays with this instrument. We compare their properties to solar flare spectra obtained with the Russian CORONAS-F RESIK instrument at similar resolution in an overlapping bandpass. We emphasize the comparisons of the 3.3-6.1 A region from solar flare spectra to the corresponding sigma Gem and HR 1099 spectra. We also model the the HETG spectra from 1.7-25 A to determine coronal temperatures and elemental abundances. Sigma Gem is a single lined coronally active long period binary which has a very hot corona. HR 1099 is a similar, but shorter period, double lined system. In the deep exposures we study emission from some of the weaker species, such as K, Na, and Al, which have the lowest first ionization potentials (FIP). The solar flare temperatures reach ~20 MK, comparable to the sigma Gem and HR 1099 coronae. During the Chandra exposures, sigma Gem was slowly decaying from a flare and its spectrum is well characterized by a collisional ionization equilibrium plasma with a broad temperature distribution ranging from 2-60 MK, peaking near 25 MK, but with substantial emission from 50 MK plasma. We have detected K XVIII and Na XI emission which allow us to set limits on their abundances. HR 1099 was also in a flare state but had no detectable K XVIII. These measurements provide new comparisons of solar and stellar coronal abundances, especially at the lowest FIP values. The low FIP elements do not show enhancement in the stellar coronae as they do in the Sun, except for K in sigma Gem. Sigma Gem and HR 1099 differ in their emission measure distributions but have very similar elemental abundances.

description: There has been a recent spate of papers on the Cosmic Horizon, an apparently fundamental, although unrecognised, property of the universe. The misunderstanding of this horizon, it is claimed, demonstrates that our determination of the cosmological makeup of the universe is incorrect, although several papers have pointed out key flaws in these arguments. Here, we identify additional flaws in the most recent claims of the properties of the Cosmic Horizon in the presence of phantom energy, simply demonstrating that it does not act as a horizon, and that its limiting of our view of the universe is a trivial statement.

description: In the last decade, nanotechnology has emerged as one of the fastest growing area of science. This is a highly promising field for the generation of new engineering applications, consumer products, medical healthcare and medicine. However, the increasing development of nanomaterials (NMs) is not supported by in vivo studies taking systematically into consideration nanoparticles (NPs) types, doses and period of treatment that would allow to forecast possible adverse outcomes that might occur upon human exposure. In our studies, fully characterized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP), designed for cancer treatment, were used to assess biodistribution and potential toxic effects after single intravenous and repeated oral administration in mice. Unexpected histopathological findings, strictly related to the physicochemical properties, i.e. size and vehicle used for the NPs synthesis, were observed after intravenous administration. This confirms that a complete characterization of NPs is of the most importance for the identification of in vivo outcomes. NPs mainly localized in organs containing large number of specialized tissue-resident macrophages belonging to the mononuclear phagocyte system. The retention of NPs in these tissues raises concerns about the potential toxicity. The 28 days repeated oral administration of AgNPs demonstrated that the brain is the organ where Ag accumulation takes place. In fact, Ag it is still detected in brain after the recovery period because of its low clearance. Morphological changes observed in the blood brain barrier (BBB), and the involvement of glial cells in response to AgNPs administration, suggested a perturbation of brain homeostasis that should be taken into consideration and further investigated.

description: The term aerosol refers to a suspension of solid particles or liquid droplets in a gaseous medium. During the last decades, aerosols and the need to measure them have become increasingly important. Aerosols can affect human health, because large loads of aerosols degrade air quality. Aerosols generated by volcanic eruptions can be a danger to aviation and impose diversion of air routes, resulting in economic damage. Finally, aerosols are the most uncertain cause of global climate change because their properties vary greatly in time and space. In this work we propose a novel ground-based sunphotometer to measure aerosols. It?s name is ARBOL (ARray of BOLometers). ARBOL is more flexible than common sunphotometers. The mechanical structure, the electronic layout and the acquisition software allow a better temporal resolution. In addition, six different wavelengths are measured simultaneously in the visible and near-infrared ranges. The thesis describes in detail the design, structure and implementation of each ARBOL component. Furthermore, instrumental characterizations and calibration are discussed. Finally, a first ARBOL has been installed at the Agency for the Protection of the Environment (ARPA, 583 a.s.l.) of Valle d?Aosta, while a second at the astronomical observatory of Saint Barthelemy (OAVdA) (1700 a.s.l.). The two measurement sites are located a few km apart from each other, but at different altitudes. Comparison of simultaneous measurements from the two sites allows information to be retrieved on the lowest atmospheric layer and its aerosol content. Consequently, the results of a test campaign are also discussed in this work.

description: Kurz gefasst
Angesichts der Veränderungen auf den Arbeitsmärkten, steigender Qualifikationsanforderungen und der Zunahme prekärer Arbeit ist die Weiterentwicklung der Arbeitslosenversicherung mit einer stärker präventiven Orientierung und verbesserter Schutzfunktion erforderlich.
Die Arbeitsmarktpolitik muss vor allem einen stärkeren Beitrag zur Qualifizierung von Arbeitslosen leisten, da der Arbeitsmarkt für einfache Tätigkeiten immer enger geworden ist und Arbeitslose ohne Berufsausbildung aufgrund des „Überangebotes“ von gering qualifizierten Arbeitskräften ohne zusätzliche Qualifikation geringe Integrationschancen haben.
Nach dem drastischen Rückbau der abschlussbezogenen Weiterbildung haben sich die Zahlen seit 2007 wieder erhöht, ohne jedoch ein bedarfsgerechtes Niveau erreicht zu haben. Ein Grund für den geringen Anstieg des Teilnehmerbestandes in der beruflichen Weiterbildung liegt in der unzureichenden finanziellen Ausstattung des Unterhalts, die viele Arbeitslose veranlasst, eine Weiterbildungsmaßnahme – vor allem eine längere, abzubrechen oder erst gar nicht aufzunehmen. Es ist absurd, dass man für einen 1 € Job mehr bekommt als bei einer Weiterbildung.
Durch steigende Anteile prekärer Erwerbsverläufe entstehen soziale Sicherungslücken, die geschlossen werden müssen. Insbesondere Selbstständige und befristet Beschäftigte haben Probleme, weil sie aufgrund der Instabilität ihrer Beschäftigungsverhältnisse nicht die nötige Rahmenfrist zum Erwerb eines Anspruches auf ALG I erreichen. Beide Beschäftigungsformen haben in den letzten Jahren an Bedeutung gewonnen und müssen besser abgesichert werden.
Das Gleichgewicht zwischen den Regelkreisen des SGB II und SGB III ist verloren gegangen. Mittlerweile befinden sich rund 70 Prozent der Erwerbslosen im Rechtskreis des SGB II, die Arbeitslosenversicherung verliert ihre gesellschaftliche Legitimität, wenn die Grundsicherung die Regel und die Arbeitslosenunterstützung die Ausnahme wird.

description: It is examined whether the number ($J$) of (joint) publications of a "main scientist" with her/his coauthors ranked according to rank ($r$) importance, i.e. $ J \propto 1/r $, as found by Ausloos [1] still holds for subfields, i.e. when the "main scientist" has worked on different, sometimes overlapping, subfields. Two cases are studied. It is shown that the law holds for large subfields. As shown, in an Appendix, is also useful to combine small topics into large ones for better statistics. It is observed that the sub-cores are much smaller than the overall coauthor core measure. Nevertheless, the smallness of the core and sub-cores may imply further considerations for the evaluation of team research purposes and activities.

description: Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria among schoolchildren (IPTsc) reduces clinical malaria, asymptomatic parasitemia, and anemia. The effects of IPTsc by gender have not been studied longitudinally. We investigated overall IPTsc efficacy and conducted a secondary analysis to explore gender-specific differences. We enrolled schoolchildren aged 6-13 years in an open-label, rolling-cohort randomized controlled trial between September 2007 and February 2013 in Kolle, Mali. Annually, schoolchildren received two full-treatment courses of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) plus artesunate, or amodiaquine (AQ) plus artesunate, or no malaria treatment as control. We used mixed-effects generalized linear models to estimate differences in treatment outcomes across groups with interaction terms to explore gender-specific differences associated with Plasmodium falciparum infection, hemoglobin, and grade point averages (GPA) based on standardized testing. Overall, 305 students contributed 4,564 observations. Compared with the control, SP plus artesunate and AQ plus artesunate reduced the odds of P. falciparum infection (odds ratio [OR]: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.26-0.43; OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.36-0.59). We found strong evidence of increased mean hemoglobin concentrations (g/dL) in the SP plus artesunate group versus control (difference +0.37, 95% CI: 0.13-0.58). Collectively, schoolchildren given AQ plus artesunate had higher mean GPA (difference +0.36, 95% CI: 0.02-0.69) relative to control. Schoolgirls, compared with schoolboys, given SP plus artesunate had greater improvement in GPA (+0.50, 95% CI: -0.02 to 1.02 versus -0.27, 95% CI: -0.71 to 0.16); interaction P = 0.048, respectively. The IPTsc decreases P. falciparum infections in schoolchildren. Treatment regimens that include longer-acting drugs may be more effective at decreasing malaria-related anemia and improving educational outcomes as observed among girls in this setting.
