description: Abstract

						Security risks related to information and information technologies have increased in parallel with technological progress,
and knowledge has become the most important asset for individuals and institutions today. During the production,
processing, transmission and storage of the knowledge, protecting its confidentiality, integrity and availability has also
evolved as an important issue. In this study, the risks faced by the information assets of the organization / institution, the
processes affected by the risks and the internal and external parties related to them, the affected assets and locations, the
probability of risk, the effect of confidentiality, integrity and accessibility, the value of assets, the probability of creating
threats to work effects are defined and a software prototype is designed and developed in order to track and manage the
risks and the relevant controls. In order to achieve a proper information security model and construct an information security
management system (ISMS) for the organization, the most important factors have been considered. A risk methodology is
designed, implemented, documented and risk analysis is conducted on these assets and processes by using these
documents.

description: We present an analytical derivation of the electromagnetic response of a spherical object coated by a conductive film, here exemplified by a graphene coating. Applying the framework of Mie-Lorenz theory augmented to account for a conductive boundary condition, we derive the multipole scattering coefficients, modified essentially through the inclusion of an additive correction in numerator and denominator. By reductionist means, starting from the retarded response, we offer simple results in the quasistatic regime by analyzing the multipolar polarizability and associated dispersion equation for the localized plasmons. We consider graphene coatings of both dielectric and conducting spheres, where in the former case the graphene coating introduces the plasmons and in the latter case modifies in interesting ways the existing ones. Finally, we discuss our analytical results in the context of extinction cross-section and local density of states. Recent demonstrations of fabricated spherical graphene nanostructures make our study directly relevant to experiments.

description: The complexity of quantum many-body systems is manifested in the vast diversity of their correlations, making it challenging to distinguish the generic from the atypical features. This can be addressed by analyzing correlations through ensembles of random states, chosen to faithfully embody the relevant physical properties. Here, we focus on spins with local interactions, whose correlations are extremely well captured by tensor network states. Adopting an operational perspective, we define ensembles of random tensor network states in one and two spatial dimensions that admit a sequential generation. As such, they directly correspond to outputs of quantum circuits with a sequential architecture and random gates. In one spatial dimension, the ensemble explores the entire family of matrix product states, while in two spatial dimensions, it corresponds to random isometric tensor network states. We extract the scaling behavior of the average correlations between two subsystems as a function of their distance. Using elementary concentration results, we then deduce the typical case for measures of correlation such as the von Neumann mutual information and a measure arising from the Hilbert-Schmidt norm. We find for all considered cases that the typical behavior is an exponential decay (for both one and two spatial dimensions). We observe the consistent emergence of a correlation length that depends only on the underlying spatial dimension and not the considered measure. Remarkably, increasing the bond dimension leads to a higher correlation length in one spatial dimension but has the opposite effect in two spatial dimensions.

description: Abstract

						Customer loyalty on e-commerce web sites is vital for attaining sustainable competitive advantage. It is essential to get to
know customers, to know on which emotions and drives they act, and to design accordingly. This study looks at customer
loyalty in both behavioral and attitudinal frames and provides a gamification model for increasing customer loyalty on e-
commerce web sites. In this research, firstly 12 e-commerce web sites were examined and foundational customer behaviours
were designated. Then, a survey was applied to understand how much customer behaviours were motivated by the 8 drives
that are given in Octalysis Framework. Finally, the results were transformed in to a software (SAAS) as a service to the
model.

description: Strong-field quantum electrodynamics (SFQED) processes are central in determining the dynamics of particles and plasmas in extreme electromagnetic fields such as those present in the vicinity of compact astrophysical objects or generated with ultraintense lasers. SFQEDtoolkit is an open source library designed to allow users for a straightforward implementation of SFQED processes in existing particle-in-cell (PIC) and Monte Carlo codes. Through advanced function approximation techniques, high-energy photon emission and electron-positron pair creation probability rates and energy distributions are calculated within the locally-constant-field approximation (LCFA) as well as with more advanced models [Phys. Rev. A 99, 022125 (2019)]. SFQEDtoolkit is designed to provide users with high-performance and high-accuracy, and neat examples showing its usage are provided. In the near future, SFQEDtoolkit will be enriched to model the angular distribution of the generated particles, i.e., beyond the commonly employed collinear emission approximation, as well as to model spin and polarization dependent SFQED processes. Notably, the generality and flexibility of the presented function approximation approach makes it suitable to be employed in other areas of physics, chemistry and computer science.

description: To obtain regression parameter estimates in generalized estimation equation modeling, whether in longitudinal or spatially correlated data, it is necessary to specify the structure of the working correlation matrix. The regression parameter estimates can be affected by the choice of this matrix. Within spatial statistics, the correlation matrix also influences how spatial variability is modeled. Therefore, this study proposes a new method for selecting a working matrix, based on conditioning the variance-covariance matrix naive. The method performance is evaluated by an extensive simulation study, using the marginal distributions of normal, Poisson, and gamma for spatially correlated data. The correlation structure specification is based on semivariogram models, using the Wendland, Matérn, and spherical model families. The results reveal that regarding the hit rates of the true spatial correlation structure of simulated data, the proposed criterion resulted in better performance than competing criteria: quasi-likelihood under the independence model criterion QIC, correlation information criterion CIC, and the Rotnizky–Jewell criterion RJC. The application of an appropriate spatial correlation structure selection was shown using the first-semester average rainfall data of 2021 in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil.

description: Recently a new method to set the scale in lattice gauge theories, based on the gradient flow generated by the Wilson action, has been proposed, and the systematic errors of the new scales t0 and w0 have been investigated by various groups. The Wilson flow provides also an interesting alternative smoothing procedure in particular useful for the measurement of the topological charge as a pure gluonic observable. We show the viability of this method for N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by analysing the configurations produced by the DESY-Muenster collaboration. For increasing flow time the topological charge quickly approaches near-integer values. The topological susceptibility has been measured for different fermion masses and its value is observed to approach zero in the chiral limit. Finally, the relation between the scale defined by the Wilson flow and the topological charge has been investigated, demonstrating a correlation between these two quantities.

description: A coarse-grained simulation method to predict NMR spectra of ions diffusing in porous carbons is proposed. The coarse-grained model uses input from molecular dynamics simulations such as the free-energy profile for ionic adsorption, and density-functional theory calculations are used to predict the NMR chemical shift of the diffusing ions. The approach is used to compute NMR spectra of ions in slit pores with pore widths ranging from 2 to 10 nm. As diffusion inside pores is fast, the NMR spectrum of an ion trapped in a single mesopore will be a sharp peak with a pore size dependent chemical shift. To account for the experimentally observed NMR line shapes, our simulations must model the relatively slow exchange between different pores. We show that the computed NMR line shapes depend on both the pore size distribution and the spatial arrangement of the pores. The technique presented in this work provides a tool to extract information about the spatial distribution of pore sizes from NMR spectra. Such information is diffcult to obtain from other characterisation techniques.

We described the nature and prevalence of statistical guidance at 15 journals (top-ranked by Impact Factor) in each of 22 scientific disciplines across five high-level domains (N = 330 journals). The frequency of statistical guidance varied across domains (Health & Life Sciences: 122/165 journals, 74%; Multidisciplinary: 9/15 journals, 60%; Social Sciences: 8/30 journals, 27%; Physical Sciences: 21/90 journals, 23%; Formal Sciences: 0/30 journals, 0%). In one discipline (Clinical Medicine), statistical guidance was provided by all examined journals and in two disciplines (Mathematics and Computer Science) no examined journals provided statistical guidance. Of the 160 journals providing statistical guidance, 93 had a dedicated statistics section in their author instructions. The most frequently mentioned topics were confidence intervals (90 journals) and p-values (88 journals). For six “hotly debated” topics (statistical significance, p-values, Bayesian statistics, effect sizes, confidence intervals, and sample size planning/justification) journals typically offered implicit or explicit endorsement and rarely provided opposition. The heterogeneity of statistical guidance provided by top-ranked journals within and between disciplines highlights a need for further research and debate about the role journals can play in improving statistical practice.

description: Predicting the phase diagram of interacting quantum many-body systems is a central problem in condensed matter physics and related fields. A variety of quantum many-body systems, ranging from unconventional superconductors to spin liquids, exhibit complex competing phases whose theoretical description has been the focus of intense efforts. Here, we show that neural network quantum states can be combined with a Lee-Yang theory of quantum phase transitions to predict the critical points of strongly-correlated spin lattices. Specifically, we implement our approach for quantum phase transitions in the transverse-field Ising model on different lattice geometries in one, two, and three dimensions. We show that the Lee-Yang theory combined with neural network quantum states yields predictions of the critical field, which are consistent with large-scale quantum many-body methods. As such, our results provide a starting point for determining the phase diagram of more complex quantum many-body systems, including frustrated Heisenberg and Hubbard models.

description: An electronic solid with itinerant carriers and localized magnetic moments represents a paradigmatic strongly correlated system. The electrical transport properties associated with the itinerant carriers, as they scatter off these local moments, has been scrutinized across a number of materials. Here we analyze the transport characteristics associated with ultra-clean PdCrO$_2$ -- a quasi two-dimensional material consisting of alternating layers of itinerant Pd-electrons and Mott-insulating CrO$_2$ layers -- which shows a pronounced regime of $T-$linear resistivity over a wide-range of intermediate temperatures. By contrasting these observations to the transport properties in a closely related material PdCoO$_2$, where the CoO$_2$ layers are band-insulators, we can rule out the traditional electron-phonon interactions as being responsible for this interesting regime. We propose a previously ignored electron-magnetoelastic interaction between the Pd-electrons, the Cr local-moments and an out-of-plane phonon as the main scattering mechanism that leads to the significant enhancement of resistivity and a $T-$linear regime in PdCrO$_2$ at temperatures far in excess of the magnetic ordering temperature. We suggest a number of future experiments to confirm this picture in PdCrO$_2$, as well as other layered metallic/Mott-insulating materials.

description: Excited states in 57Cr have been populated to high spin in the 14C(48Ca,αn) reaction at a beam energy of 130 MeV. A regular sequence of stretched quadrupole transitions has been established above the yrast 9/2+ level. This sequence is interpreted as a rotational band associated with prolate deformation induced by the excitation of the odd neutron into the 1/2+[440] orbital. Total Routhian surface calculations, which follow this configuration to high spin, reproduce the observed features of the band. They are also able to account for a similar, but less well developed structure in 55Cr. In contrast, the isomeric yrast 9/2+ state in 59Cr appears to be a band-head state dominated by the 9/2+[404] configuration, which is favoured at oblate deformations. Such a marked difference presents a significant challenge for theoretical descriptions, but is consistent with features exhibited by the low-lying negative-parity states in 59Cr.

description: Abstract Without environmental sustainability, economic stability and social cohesion cannot be achieved. Sustainable development refers to all the human developments that meet our current needs, without compromising the nature’s ability to provide the resources for the future generations. India has covered 2.4 per cent of the world’s land and 16 per cent of the world’s population. This started creating extra pressure on the resources which are available in India. This results in severely unsustainable use of natural resources by several generations for so many years. Because of this India is experiencing rapid and widespread environmental degradation at alarming rates. To feed the massive population of the country and to meet the growing needs of it, a tremendous pressure is seen over all the resources in India, especially the land, which is overused for various socio-economic activities. In this paper, efforts are present here for various sustainability of the resources which are important for our future generation.

A Machine Learning Approach for Player and Position Adjusted Expected Goals in Football (Soccer)

description: Football is a very result-driven industry, with goals being rarer than in most sports, so having further parameters to judge the performance of teams and individuals is key. Expected Goals (xG) allow further insight than just a scoreline. To tackle the need for further analysis in football, this paper uses machine learning applications that are developed and applied to Football Event data. From the concept, a Binary Classification problem is created whereby a probabilistic valuation is outputted using Logistic Regression and Gradient Boosting based approaches. The model successfully predicts xGs probability values for football players based on 15,575 shots. The proposed solution utilises StatsBomb as the data provider and an industry benchmark to tune the models in the right direction. The proposed ML solution for xG is further used to tackle the age-old cliche of: 'the ball has fallen to the wrong guy there'. The development of the model is used to adjust and gain more realistic values of expected goals than the general models show. To achieve this, this paper tackles Positional Adjusted xG, splitting the training data into Forward, Midfield, and Defence with the aim of providing insight into player qualities based on their positional sub-group. Positional Adjusted xG successfully predicts and proves that more attacking players are better at accumulating xG. The highest value belonged to Forwards followed by Midfielders and Defenders. Finally, this study has further developments into Player Adjusted xG with the aim of proving that Messi is statistically at a higher efficiency level than the average footballer. This is achieved by using Messi subset samples to quantify his qualities in comparison to the average xG models finding that Messi xG performs 347 xG higher than the general model outcome.

description: WD0137-349 is a white dwarf-brown dwarf binary system in a 116 minute orbit. We present radial velocity observations and multiwaveband photometry from V, R and I in the optical, to J, H and Ks in the near-IR and [3.6], [4.5], [5.8] and [8.0] microns in the mid-IR. The photometry and lightcurves show variability in all wavebands, with the amplitude peaking at [4.5] microns, where the system is also brightest. Fluxes and brightness temperatures were computed for the heated and unheated atmosphere of the brown dwarf (WD0137-349B) using synthetic spectra of the white dwarf using model atmosphere simulations. We show that the flux from the brown dwarf dayside is brighter than expected in the Ks and [4.5] micron bands when compared to models of irradiated brown dwarfs with full energy circulation and suggest this over-luminosity may be attributed to H2 fluorescence or H3+ being generated in the atmosphere by the UV irradiation.

Therefore, this study proposes a new method for selecting a working matrix, based on conditioning the variance-covariance matrix naive. The method performance is evaluated by an extensive simulation study, using the marginal distributions of normal, Poisson, and gamma for spatially correlated data. The correlation structure specification is based on semivariogram models, using the Wendland, Matérn, and spherical model families. The results reveal that regarding the hit rates of the true spatial correlation structure of simulated data, the proposed criterion resulted in better performance than competing criteria: quasi-likelihood under the independence model criterion QIC, correlation information criterion CIC, and the Rotnizky–Jewell criterion RJC. The application of an appropriate spatial correlation structure selection was shown using the first-semester average rainfall data of 2021 in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil.

description: In the framework of the Born-Oppenheimer Effective Field Theory, the hyperfine structure of heavy quarkonium hybrids at leading order in the 1/m Q expansion is determined by two potentials. We estimate those potentials by interpolating between the known short distance behavior and the long distance behavior calculated in the QCD Effective String Theory. The long distance behavior depends, at leading order, on two parameters which can be obtained from the long distance behavior of the heavy quarkonium potentials (up to sign ambiguities). The short distance behavior depends, at leading order, on two extra paramentes, which are obtained from a lattice calculation of the lower lying charmonium hybrid multiplets. This allows us to predict the hyperfine splitting both of bottomonium hybrids and of higher multiplets of charmonium hybrids. We carry out a careful error analysis and compare with other approaches.

description: High-spin states in Ta171 were populated in the Sn124(V51,4n) reaction at 228 MeV to search for evidence of stable triaxial deformation. Identification of a wobbling sequence based on the previously known πi13/2 structure would provide a unique signature for this rarely observed shape. No such sequence was identified in these data, which suggests that the island of triaxial strongly deformed bands may be smaller than once thought. However, over 200 new transitions and two new bands were placed in the level scheme and the sequence based on the πi13/2 orbital could be observed up to spin and parity Iπ=(101/2+). The relative excitations of all the sequences were determined and the ground state of Ta171 was found to have 5/2+ quantum numbers, contrary to previous reports. All of the previously known structures were extended to much higher spin and their high-frequency band crossings are interpreted within the framework of the cranked shell model.

description: What is the number of rolls of fair six-sided dice until the first time the total sum of all rolls is a prime? We compute the expectation and the variance of this random variable up to an additive error of less than 10−4. This is a solution to a puzzle suggested by DasGupta in the Bulletin of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, where the published solution is incomplete. The proof is simple, combining a basic dynamic programming algorithm with a quick Matlab computation and basic facts about the distribution of primes.

description: In 2013, Pak and Panova proved the strict unimodality property of $q$-binomial coefficients $\binom{\ell+m}{m}_q$ (as polynomials in $q$) based on the combinatorics of Young tableaux and the semigroup property of Kronecker coefficients. They showed it to be true for all $\ell,m\geq 8$ and a few other cases. We propose a different approach to this problem based on computer algebra, where we establish a closed form for the coefficients of these polynomials and then use cylindrical algebraic decomposition to identify exactly the range of coefficients where strict unimodality holds. This strategy allows us to tackle generalizations of the problem, e.g., to show unimodality with larger gaps or unimodality of related sequences. In particular, we present proofs of two additional cases of a conjecture by Stanley and Zanello.

description: The heavy-ion radiative capture reaction, 12C( 12C,γ), has been investigated at beam energies around 16 MeV. Two different experiments were performed. Capture cross sections were obtained by measuring fused 24Mg residues and were found to significantly exceed values reported earlier. Subsequently, the decay pathways associated with radiative capture were delineated using the Gammasphere array. A substantial fraction of the decay was found to proceed through a few high-lying doorway states near 10 MeV in excitation.

Unbinding and unfolding of adhesion protein complexes through stretching: Interplay between shear and tensile mechanical clamps

description: Using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we analyze mechanically induced dissociation and unfolding of the protein complex CD48-2B4. This heterodimer is an indispensable component of the immunological system: 2B4 is a receptor on natural killer cells whereas CD48 is expressed on surfaces of various immune cells. So far, its mechanostability has not been assessed either experimentally or theoretically. We find that the dissociation processes strongly depend on the direction of pulling and may take place in several pathways. Interestingly, the CD48-2B4 interface can be divided into three distinct patches that act as units when resisting the pulling forces. At experimentally accessible pulling speeds, the characteristic mechanostability forces are in the range between 100 and 200 pN, depending on the pulling direction. These characteristic forces need not be associated with tensile forces involved in the act of separation of the complex because prior shear-involving unraveling within individual proteins may give rise to a higher force peak.

description: One of the challenges in clustering categorical data is the curse of dimensionality caused by the inherent sparsity of high-dimensional data, the records of which include a large number of attributes. The latent class model (LCM) assumes local independence between the variables in clusters, and is a parsimonious model-based clustering approach that has been used to circumvent the problem. The mixture of a log-linear model is more flexible but requires more parameters to be estimated. In this research, we recognize that each categorical observation can be conceived as a network with pairwise linked nodes, which are the response levels of the observation attributes. Therefore, the categorical data for clustering is considered a finite mixture of different component layer networks with distinct patterns. We apply a penalized composite likelihood approach to a finite mixture of networks for sparse multivariate categorical data to reduce the number of parameters, implement the EM algorithm to estimate the model parameters, and show that the estimates are consistent and satisfy asymptotic normality. The performance of the proposed approach is shown to be better in comparison with the conventional methods for both synthetic and real datasets.

description: Electronic circular dichroism is an important optical phenomenon offering insights into chiral molecular materials. On the other hand, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel group of crystalline porous thin-film materials that provide tailor-made chemical and physical properties by carefully selecting their building units. Combining these two aspects of contemporary material research and integrating chiral molecules into MOFs promises devices with unprecedented functionality. However, considering the nearly unlimited degrees of freedom concerning the choice of materials and the geometrical details of the possibly structured films, we urgently need to complement advanced experimental methods with equally strong modeling techniques. Most notably, these modeling techniques must cope with the challenge that the material and devices thereof cover size scales from Ångströms to mm. In response to that need, we outline a computational workflow that seamlessly combines quantum chemical methods to capture the properties of individual molecules with optical simulations to capture the properties of functional devices made from these molecular materials. We concentrate on chiral properties and apply our work to UiO-67-BINOL MOFs, for which experimental results are available to benchmark the results of our simulations and explore the optical properties of cavities and metasurfaces made from that chiral material.

description: The issues of quintessence and cosmic acceleration can be discussed in the framework of $F(R, {\cal G})$ theories of gravity where $R$ is the Ricci curvature scalar and ${\cal G}$ is the Gauss-Bonnet topological invariant. It is possible to show that such an approach exhausts all the curvature content related to the Riemann tensor giving rise to a fully geometric approach to dark energy.
