description: Abstract


This study shows empirical evidence about the effects of external debt servicing on the foreign exchange reserve of the country and tests whether foreign exchange availability of the country affects the import demand. A yearly basis data starting from 1982 up to 2021 is employed. The required data are retrieved mostly from the World Development Indicator (WDI) database of the World Bank. In analyzing the data, the auto regressive (ARDL) technique of econometric estimation is used. The long-run result shows that repayment of foreign borrowing is insignificant in affecting the foreign exchange reserve of the nation. However, foreign aid, foreign borrowing and export growth are significant in increasing the foreign exchange reserve of the country. A sufficient supply of foreign currency in an economy is important to deal against instability and uncertainty of foreign capital flows. So, the government of Ethiopia can enhance the foreign exchange reserve through capital inflows and export growth. The findings from the import demand function of Ethiopia show that the foreign currency reserve is significant in driving import demand of the country. It is known that import enables unfettered access to capital goods from abroad and for improving the domestic welfare. So, the government should have stable and sufficient foreign exchange reserves to finance import of goods and services from abroad.

description: The standard bag-of-words vector space model (VSM) is efficient, and ubiquitous in information retrieval, but it underestimates the similarity of documents with the same meaning, but different terminology. To overcome this limitation, Sidorov et al. proposed the Soft Cosine Measure (SCM) that incorporates term similarity relations. Charlet and Damnati showed that the SCM is highly effective in question answering (QA) systems. However, the orthonormalization algorithm proposed by Sidorov et al. has an impractical time complexity of $\mathcal O(n^4)$, where n is the size of the vocabulary. In this paper, we prove a tighter lower worst-case time complexity bound of $\mathcal O(n^3)$. We also present an algorithm for computing the similarity between documents and we show that its worst-case time complexity is $\mathcal O(1)$ given realistic conditions. Lastly, we describe implementation in general-purpose vector databases such as Annoy, and Faiss and in the inverted indices of text search engines such as Apache Lucene, and ElasticSearch. Our results enable the deployment of the SCM in real-world information retrieval systems.

Incidence of urinary retention in post-operative orthopedic and trauma patients
Creators: name: Pagán, Priscilla
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Purpose of Project: For patients in the hospital setting, the early removal of indwelling urinary catheters is an important consideration to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections. There is increased cost related to catheter-associated urinary tract infections evidenced in the literature which supports the rationale for early removal. The aim of this project was to assess whether early removal of indwelling urinary catheters was related to decreased or increased incidence of urinary retention in trauma and orthopedic patients using a nurse-driven protocol for catheter-associated urinary tract infection prevention.Methodology: Through retrospective chart review, bladder scan volume, eight-hour voiding trials, and failed trials to void were used to assess spontaneous voiding versus urinary retention in trauma patients undergoing surgical fixation of femoral fractures in a 6-week period. Other risk factors were collected to assess for correlation between incidence of urinary retention and its potential relationship to age, sex, mobility, cognitive status, and length of stay.Results: The results of this study suggest that the removal of indwelling urinary catheters 8 hours or at midnight post-operatively causes increased incidence of urinary retention in trauma and orthopedic patients. However, due to small sample size, these findings may not be generalizable and may require further research.Implications for Practice: Maintenance of indwelling urinary catheters for 12-48 hours post-operatively may be appropriate for this surgical population without increasing risk of urinary retention, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, or hospital length of stay.
Bipolar thermoelectric effects in semiconducting carbon nanotubes: Description in terms of one-dimensional Dirac electrons

description: The thermoelectric effects in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are investigated based on the linear response theory combined with the thermal Green's function method. It is shown that the electronic states near the lowest conduction band minimum and the highest valence band maximum can be effectively described in terms of one-dimensional (1D) Dirac electrons to which a theoretical scheme is developed to describe the thermoelectric responses making it possible to study the effects of inter-band impurity scattering and in-gap states. Using the proposed scheme, the bipolar thermoelectric effects (i.e., the sign inversion of the Seebeck coefficient) in semiconducting SWCNTs observed in recent experiments are explained. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the Seebeck coefficient of semiconducting SWCNTs at low temperature is clarified.

description: Purpose of Project: This DNP project examined whether a practice-driven campaign using non-invasive screening methods for colon cancer improved HEDIS outcomes in three primary care practices in New Jersey. Methodology: The 2019 colorectal cancer screening results were compared to 2020 colorectal cancer screening results for three primary care practices in New Jersey. The comparison was to determine if providing clinical teams with educational toolkits and an improved understanding of colorectal cancer screening methods would improve patient screening adherence, thereby increasing the usage of non-invasive screening methods. Results: The results did not support the clinical question based on the Mann-Whitney test (z = -1.168, p = .254). The COVID-19 pandemic can be a possible reason as to why the results are what they are. Primary care practices throughout New Jersey were not seeing patients initially because of the shelter in place mandate, and outpatient elective procedures were canceled from March thru May. Implications for Practice: This DNP project identified that by using evidence-based models and tools, practice teams could improve how they communicate the importance of CRC screening, thereby improving patient adherence.

description: Scientific prizes are among the greatest recognition a scientist receives from their peers and arguably shape the direction of a field by conferring credibility to persons, ideas, and disciplines, providing financial rewards, and promoting rituals that reinforce scientific communities. The proliferation of prizes and links among prizes suggest that the prize network embodies information about scientists and ideas poised to grow in acclaim. Using comprehensive new data on prizes and prizewinners worldwide and across disciplines, we examine the growth dynamics and interlocking relationships found in the worldwide scientific prize network. We focus on understanding how the knowledge linkages among prizes and scientists' propensities for prizewinning are related to knowledge pathways across disciplines and stratification within disciplines. We find several key links between prizes and scientific advances. First, despite a proliferation of diverse prizes over time and across the globe, prizes are more concentrated within a relatively small group of scientific elites, and ties within the elites are more clustered, suggesting that a relatively constrained number of ideas and scholars lead science. Second, we find that certain prizes are strongly interlocked within and between disciplines by scientists who win multiple prizes, revealing the key pathways by which knowledge systematically gains credit and spreads through the network. Third, we find that genealogical and co authorship networks strongly predict who wins one or more prizes and explains the high level of interconnections among acclaimed scientists and their path breaking ideas.

description: Three- and four-nucleon photodisintegration processes are quite efficiently treated by means of effective two-body integral equations in momentum space. We recall some aspects of their derivation, present previous and most recent results obtained within this framework, and discuss general features, trends and effects observed in these investigations: At low energies final-state interaction plays an important role. Even more pronounced is the effect of meson exchange currents. A considerable potential dependence shows up in the low-energy peak region. The different peak heights are found to be closely correlated with the corresponding binding energies. Above the peak region only the difference between potentials with or without p-wave contributions remains relevant. In the differential cross sections the electric quadrupole contributions have to be taken into account. The remarkable agreement between theory and experiment in $p$-$d$ radiative capture is achieved only when incorporating this contribution, together with most of the above-mentioned effects. In the final part of this report we briefly review also methods developed, and results achieved in three- and four- nucleon electrodisintegration. We, in particular, compare them with a recent access to this problem, based on the construction of nucleon-nucleus potentials via Marchenko inversion theory.

description: Using a six-orientifold on top of a NS-fivebrane we construct a chiral N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions with gauge group SU(N_c) and matter in the symmetric, antisymmetric and (anti)fundamental representations. Anomaly cancellation is fulfilled by the requirement of a smooth RR 7-form charge distribution and leads us to the introduction of 8 half D-sixbranes ending on the NS-fivebrane. We obtain the dual model from branes by a linking number argument. We check explicitly the 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions and the map between deformations in the original and the dual model.

Types Mus. Hist. Nat. Geneve; Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard.
Etymology Gr oxyops, sharp-eyed or sharp-faced, allusion uncertain.
diagnosis A large (major Head Width 1.90 mm), reddish brown member of the diligens group easily distinguished as follows.
Major: head in side view elliptical, tapering equally toward the occiput and clypeus on opposite ends; antennal scape reaches much less than half the distance from eye to occipital corner; in dorsal-oblique view, the two lobes of the pronotum and mesonotal convexity present a profile of three equally spaced convexities, and the propodeal dorsum has a small convexity just anterior to the spine; in side view propodeal spine short, thin, and vertical to propodeal dorsal face; postpetiole from above conulate; no rugoreticulum present anywhere; anterior and parts of lateral margins of pronotum carinulate.
Minor: a neck and nuchal collar present; propodeal spine reduced almost to a denticle.
Measurements (mm) Syntype major: HW 1.92, HL 2.12, SL 1.06, EL 0.30, PW 0.80.
Syntype minor: HW 0.74, HL 1.02, SL 1.24, EL 0.22, PW 0.54.
Color Major and minor: concolorous light brown.
Range Kempf (1972b) and I have recorded oxyops, in addition to the type series from Paraguay, from Salta, northern Argentina, and Goias, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, and Sao Paulo in southeastern and central Brazil.
Biology P. oxyops occurs in cerrado (savanna) and the edges of semideciduous forest. In the region of San Antonio de Posse, Sao Paulo, Fernandes et al. (1994) found the species abundant along the forest edge and in cotton fields. In the latter it was very effective in removing adult boll weevils (Anthonomus grandis) from the ground, accounting in one study period for 90% of the predation due to ants, where predation by ants as a whole destroyed 20% of the weevils. Fernandes et al. use the name P. oliveirai, which I erroneously supplied from an early draft of the manuscript of my monograph; the specimens supplied me and hence the name I erected in manuscript fall under oxyops.

description: Deep learning (DL) systems are increasingly applied to safety-critical domains such as autonomous driving cars. It is of significant importance to ensure the reliability and robustness of DL systems. Existing testing methodologies always fail to include rare inputs in the testing dataset and exhibit low neuron coverage. In this paper, we propose DLFuzz, the frst differential fuzzing testing framework to guide DL systems exposing incorrect behaviors. DLFuzz keeps minutely mutating the input to maximize the neuron coverage and the prediction difference between the original input and the mutated input, without manual labeling effort or cross-referencing oracles from other DL systems with the same functionality. We present empirical evaluations on two well-known datasets to demonstrate its efficiency. Compared with DeepXplore, the state-of-the-art DL whitebox testing framework, DLFuzz does not require extra efforts to find similar functional DL systems for cross-referencing check, but could generate 338.59% more adversarial inputs with 89.82% smaller perturbations, averagely obtain 2.86% higher neuron coverage, and save 20.11% time consumption.

description: Using a rather complete description of the in-medium $ρ$ spectral function - being constrained by various independent experimental information - we calculate pertinent dilepton production rates from hot and dense hadronic matter. The strong broadening of the $ρ$ resonance entails a reminiscence to perturbative $q\bar q$ annihilation rates in the vicinity of the phase boundary. The application to dilepton observables in Pb(158AGeV)+Au collisions - incorporating recent information on the hadro-chemical composition at CERN-SpS energies - essentially supports the broadening scenario. Possible implications for the nature of chiral symmetry restoration are outlined.

A qualitative analysis of their possible influence on the fate of the Be7 in solar plasma and of their role in the interpretation of the solar neutrino experiments is given. As an example, the reaction rate of the nonradiative production of B8 in the triple collision p + e^- + Be7 ---> B8 + e^- is estimated in the framework of the adiabatic approximation. For the solar interior conditions the triple collision reaction rate is approximately 10^{-4} of that for the binary process p + Be7 ---> B8 + gamma .

description: The interconnection between quantum mechanics and probabilistic classical mechanics for a free relativistic particle is derived in terms of Wigner functions (WF) for both Dirac and Klein-Gordon (K-G) equations. Construction of WF is achieved by first defining a bilocal 4-current and then taking its Fourier transform w.r.t. the relative 4-coordinate. The K-G and Proca cases also lend themselves to a closely parallel treatment provided the Kemmer- Duffin beta-matrix formalism is employed for the former. Calculation of WF is carried out in a Lorentz-covariant fashion by standard `trace' techniques. The results are compared with a recent derivation due to Bosanac.

biology On the type series, by Hermann von Ihering, as quoted by W. M. Wheeler (1916: 180-181): "One morning, while [Mr. Gaste, a local naturalist] was on the island of San Sebastian, he found a tree trunk that had floated to the shore during the night and was filled with a living ant-colony belonging to a species of Pheidole [peregrina Wheeler] unknown to me. San Sebastian is situated some kilometers off the coast of the mainland. Of course, we cannot say how long this log had been floating in the water before it reached the island." It may be that peregrina, like the anatomically similar and widespread vafra, is a specialist in marginal habitats. The types of the synonymous impariceps var. fusciclava were collected on another island in the same area, Ilha dos Alcatrazes.

description: Relativistic magnetic reconnection events can widely exist in magnetized plasmas in astrophysical systems. During this process, oppositely directed magnetic field lines reconnect and release magnetic energy, efficiently accelerating nonthermal particles. However, so far there is little clear observational signatures of relativistic magnetic reconnection events in astrophysical systems. Blazars are relativistic magnetized plasma outflows from supermassive black holes. Their multi-wavelength flares may be powered by relativistic magnetic reconnection. The highly variable radiation and polarization signatures are well covered by multi-wavelength observation campaigns, making them ideal targets to examine the magnetic reconnection model. Recent observations have found that several blazar flares are accompanied by optical polarization angle swings which may be of as large amplitude as $> 180^{\circ}$, challenging existing theoretical models. In this paper, we present integrated particle-in-cell (PIC) and polarized radiation transfer simulations of magnetic reconnection events. We find that plasmoid coalescences in the reconnection layer can give rise to highly variable light curves, low and fluctuating polarization degree, and rotating polarization angle. In particular, large-amplitude polarization angle swings, similar to those observed during blazar flares, can be a unique signature of relativistic magnetic reconnection events.

Nucleon magnetic moments in an extended chiral constituent quark model

description: We present results for the nucleon magnetic moments in the context of an extended chiral constituent quark model based on the mechanism of the Goldstone boson exchange, as suggested by the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in QCD. The electromagnetic charge-current operator is consistently deduced from the model Hamiltonian, which includes all force components for the pseudoscalar, vector and scalar meson exchanges. Thus, the continuity equation is satisfied for each piece of the interaction, avoiding the introduction of any further parameter. A good agreement with experimental values is found. The role of isoscalar two-body operators, not constrained by the continuity equation, is also investigated.

IFU Unit in SCORPIO-2 Focal Reducer for Integral-Field Spectroscopy on the 6-m Telescope of the SAO RAS

description: We describe the scheme and design features of the new IFU unit (Integral Field Unit) meant to perform integral-field spectroscopy as a part of SCORPIO-2 focal reducer, which is mounted in the prime focus of the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The design of the unit is based on the principle of the formation of array spectra using a lens raster combined with optical fibers. The unit uses a rectangular raster consisting of 22x22 square 2-mm diameter lenses. The image of the object is transferred by an optical system with a 23x magnification from the focal plane of the telescope to the plane of the lens raster. The image scale is 0.75"/lens and the field of view of the instrument has the size of 16.5"x16.5". The raster also contains two extra 2x7 lens arrays to acquire the night-sky spectra whose images are offset by $\pm$3' from the center. Optical fibers are used to transform micropupil images into two pseudoslits located at the IFU collimator entrance. When operating in the IFU mode a set of volume phase holographic gratings (VPHG) provides a spectral range of 4600-7300 Å and a resolution $λ/δλ$ of 1040 to 2800. The quantum efficiency of SCORPIO-2 field spectroscopy is 6-13% depending on the grating employed. We describe the technique of data acquisition and reduction using IFU unit and report the results of test observations of the Seyfert galaxy Mrk 78 performed on the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

description: We present the leading order unpolarized and polarized cross sections in electroweak semi-inclusive deep inelastic leptoproduction. The azimuthal dependences in the cross section differential in the transverse momentum of the vector boson arise due to intrinsic transverse momenta of the quarks. However, the presented asymmetries are not suppressed by inverse powers of the hard scale. We discuss the different opportunities to measure specific asymmetries as offered by neutral compared to charged current processes and point out the optimal kinematical regions. The present and (proposed) future HERA collider experiments would be most suitable for measuring some of the asymmetries discussed here, especially in case of Lambda production.

description: As a generic model for transport of interacting fermions through a barrier or interstitials in a lattice, quantum Brownian motion in a periodic potential is studied. There is a duality transformation between the continuous coordinate or phase representation and the discrete momentum or charge representation for general frequency-dependent damping. Sub-Ohmic friction is mapped on super-Ohmic friction, and vice versa. The mapping is exact for arbitrary barrier height and valid at any temperature. Thus all features of the continuous model can be investigated from analytical or numerical analysis of the discrete model. New nonperturbative results for the frequency-dependent linear mobility including subdiffusive and superdiffusive behaviors are reported.

On finitely ambiguous Büchi automata

Subjects: subject: Formal Languages and Automata Theory (cs.FL)

description: Unambiguous Büchi automata, i.e. Büchi automata allowing only one accepting run per word, are a useful restriction of Büchi automata that is well-suited for probabilistic model-checking. In this paper we propose a more permissive variant, namely finitely ambiguous Büchi automata, a generalisation where each word has at most $k$ accepting runs, for some fixed $k$. We adapt existing notions and results concerning finite and bounded ambiguity of finite automata to the setting of $ω$-languages and present a translation from arbitrary nondeterministic Büchi automata with $n$ states to finitely ambiguous automata with at most $3^n$ states and at most $n$ accepting runs per word.

description: Recently, the numerical solution of multi-frequency, highly-oscillatory Hamiltonian problems has been attacked by using Hamiltonian Boundary Value Methods (HBVMs) as spectral methods in time. When the problem derives from the space semi- discretization of (possibly Hamiltonian) partial differential equations (PDEs), the resulting problem may be stiffly-oscillatory, rather than highly-oscillatory. In such a case, a different implementation of the methods is needed, in order to gain the maximum efficiency.

description: Using the conformal compensator superfields of N=2 D=4 supergravity, the Type IIB S-duality transformations are expressed as a linear rotation which mixes the compensator and matter superfields. The classical superspace action for D=4 compactifications of Type IIB supergravity is manifestly invariant under this transformation. Furthermore, the introduction of conformal compensators allows a Fradkin-Tseytlin term to be added to the manifestly SL(2,Z)-covariant sigma model action of Townsend and Cederwall.

description: Beginning with an effective field theory based upon meson exchange, the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the three-particle propagator (six-point function) is obtained. Using the one-boson-exchange form of the kernel, this equation is then analyzed using time-ordered perturbation theory, and a three-dimensional equation for the propagator is developed. The propagator consists of a pre-factor in which the relative energies are fixed by the initial state of the particles, an intermediate part in which only global propagation of the particles occurs, and a post-factor in which relative energies are fixed by the final state of the particles. The pre- and post-factors are necessary in order to account for the transition from states where particles are off their mass shell to states described by the global propagator with all of the particle energies on shell. The pole structure of the intermediate part of the propagator is used to determine the equation for the three-body bound state: a Schr{ö}dinger-like relativistic equation with a single, global Green's function. The role of the pre- and post-factors in the relativistic dynamics is to incorporate the poles of the breakup channels in the initial and final states. The derivation of this equation by integrating over the relative times rather than via a constraint on relative momenta allows the inclusion of retardation and dynamical boost corrections without introducing unphysical singularities.
