description: Energy efficiency in the Republic of Serbia is two to three times lower than in the European Union countries. The largest consumer of energy is the housing sector, and some public buildings have energy consumption that is even 100% higher than in similar facilities at the EU level. Main goal of the study was directed towards a research of energy savings with the public buildings in City of Novi Sad after the energy efficiency measures were applied. The aim of this work as well was to define the financial and environmental savings following the application of energy efficiency measures. Key methodology that was used in researching was the Bottom-Up methodology (BU). It is a methodology that is widely accepted for this kind of exploratory works. The research results have shown that in the observed period from 2014 to 2016 significant savings were achieved by applying energy efficiency measures in public buildings in the City of Novi Sad. Specifically, the total annual savings of final energy amounted to 1,812,998 kWh/year, the savings in finances on an annual basis due to energy savings amounted to 77,718 /year, and the savings in reduced CO2 emissions on an annual basis amounted to 439 t CO2/year. The average annual growth of investments in the observed period for energy renovation of public buildings at the level of the City of Novi Sad was 211%. Analyses have shown that 0.48 worth of investments can generate final energy savings of 1 kWh/year. Analyses have also shown that for a 1 investment in energy renovation of buildings, we can achieve emission reduction of 5.04·10-4 tCO2/year. The energy savings research results, after the application of energy efficiency measures on the example of the City of Novi Sad, have shown that in 2015 they were: 14,1% above the average in comparison with the other observed cities in the Republic of Serbia, i.e. from 49.6% to 74.6% bellow the average compared to the observed cities from the region. Republic of Serbia in terms of energy efficiency in the housing construction sector lags significantly behind the developed EU countries. Among others, the following factors have contributed to such an occurrence: lagging behind with passing the legislation which regulates this area, technologically outdated equipment, low purchasing power of citizens, lack of state subsidies, low level of environmental awareness about the pollution and energy savings etc. The biggest motivational problem for energy savings with the citizens in Republic of Serbia today lies in a low price of electrical energy (which continues to be an instrument of social policy) compared to that at the EU level.

description: Recently, cesium atoms in optical lattices subjected to cycles of unequally-spaced pulses have been found to show interesting behavior: they represent the first experimental demonstration of a Hamiltonian ratchet mechanism, and they show strong variability of the Dynamical Localization lengths as a function of initial momentum. The behavior differs qualitatively from corresponding atomic systems pulsed with equal periods, which are a textbook implementation of a well-studied quantum chaos paradigm, the quantum delta-kicked particle (delta-QKP). We investigate here the properties of the corresponding eigenstates (Floquet states) in the parameter regime of the new experiments and compare them with those of the eigenstates of the delta-QKP at similar kicking strengths. We show that, with the properties of the Floquet states, we can shed light on the form of the observed ratchet current as well as variations in the Dynamical Localization length.

description: We derive here the mean temperature profile for a sample of hot, medium distant clusters recently observed with XMM-Newton, whose profiles are available from the literature, and compare it with the mean temperature profile found from BeppoSAX data. The XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX profiles are in good agreement between 0.05 and 0.25 r_180. From 0.25 to about 0.5 r_180 both profiles decline, however the BeppoSAX profile does so much more rapidly than the XMM-Newton profile.

description: Biological control programs have been mounted in some region(s) of the world against 13 of the 16 dossier pests and substantial or partial success has been achieved in one or more countries for 8. On the basis of available information there are good to excellent prospects for reducing, in at least some parts of the region, the damage caused by the following: Leucinodes orbonalis , Nezara viridula , Ophiomyia phaseoli and Planococcus citri . There are also good reasons for believing that there will prove to be valuable natural enemies for the following: Agrius convolvuli, Anomis flava , Aphis craccivora , Aphis gossypii , Diaphorina citri , Dysmicoccus brevipes , Hypothenemus hampei , Phyllocnistis citrella and Trichoplusia ni . There seems to be little prospect for classical biological control of Dysdercus cingulatus, too little is known about Deanolis sublimbalis and the prospects for control of Cosmopolites sordidus are unclear, although its lack of pest status in Myanmar is puzzling.

Which are the youngest protostars? Determining properties of confirmed and candidate Class0 sources by broad-band photometry
Creators: name: Froebrich, Dirk

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We searched the literature to obtain a complete list of known Class0 sources. A list of 95 confirmed or candidate objects was compiled. To the best of our knowledge, all published broad-band observations from 1mu to 3.5mm have been collected and are assembled in a catalogue. These data were used to determine physical properties (T_bol, L_bol, L_smm/L_bol, M_env) and for a uniform classification. 50 sources possess sufficient observational data and are classified as Class0 or Class0/1 objects. The source properties are compared with different evolutionary models to infer ages and masses, and their correlations are investigated. About 25% of the sources are found to be in a quiet accretion phase or possess a significantly different time evolution of the accretion rate than the average. In Taurus, with its isolated star formation mode, this seems especially to be the case.

description: The aim of this thesis was to establish a framework to assess the global potential of substituting fresh water for agricultural irrigation with treated waste water for that purpose. In order to establish whether there is a potential or not, countries from different climate and socio-economic zones were analysed. Taking a closer look at the dominant crops produced and livestock animals kept a rough estimate of the fresh water demand from the agricultural sector in individual countries could be established. These results were then put into contrast with the volume of waste water treated on a national level in order to determine if a substituting potential towards treated waste water for irrigation was given from a quantitative point of view. Regulations regarding the utilization of treated waste water on an international and domestic level were also analysed and discussed along with the implications of climate change on the present and future agricultural production, allowing for conclusions on food and water security.
Motions in a Bose condensate: X. New results on stability of axisymmetric solitary waves of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

description: The stability of the axisymmetric solitary waves of the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation is investigated. The Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Method for banded matrices with shift-invert was used to solve the linearised spectral stability problem. The rarefaction solitary waves on the upper branch of the Jones-Roberts dispersion curve are shown to be unstable to axisymmetric infinitesimal perturbations, whereas the solitary waves on the lower branch and all two-dimensional solitary waves are linearly stable. The growth rates of the instabilities on the upper branch are so small that an arbitrarily specified initial perturbation of a rarefaction wave at first usually evolves towards the upper branch as it acoustically radiates away its excess energy. This is demonstrated through numerical integrations of the GP equation starting from an initial state consisting of an unstable rarefaction wave and random non-axisymmetric noise. The resulting solution evolves towards, and remains for a significant time in the vicinity of, an unperturbed unstable rarefaction wave. It is shown however that, ultimately (or for an initial state extremely close to the upper branch), the solution evolves onto the lower branch or is completely dissipated as sound.

description: For a particle of mass mu and scalar charge q, we compute the effects of the scalar field self-force upon circular orbits, upon slightly eccentric orbits and upon the innermost stable circular orbit of a Schwarzschild black hole of mass M. For circular orbits the self force is outward and causes the angular frequency at a given radius to decrease. For slightly eccentric orbits the self force decreases the rate of the precession of the orbit. The effect of the self force moves the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit inward by 0.122701 q^2/mu, and it increases the angular frequency of the ISCO by the fraction 0.0291657 q^2/mu M.

description: This volume contains the proceedings of MARS 2020, the fourth workshop on Models for Formal Analysis of Real Systems held as part of ETAPS 2020, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The MARS workshop brings together researchers from different communities who are developing formal models of real systems in areas where complex models occur, such as networks, cyber-physical systems, hardware/software codesign, biology, etc. The MARS workshops stem from two observations: (1) Large case studies are essential to show that specification formalisms and modelling techniques are applicable to real systems, whereas many research papers only consider toy examples or tiny case studies. (2) Developing an accurate model of a real system takes a large amount of time, often months or years. In most scientific papers, however, salient details of the model need to be skipped due to lack of space, and to leave room for formal verification methodologies and results. The MARS workshop remedies these issues, emphasising modelling over verification, so as to retain lessons learnt from formal modelling, which are not usually discussed elsewhere.

description: An enormous IP traffic growth in the last decade has resulted in new requirements regarding network security. With the traffic growth, the cybersecurity is also changing.It is difficult to apply security measures because of the bigger traffic amount and new applications and services. A large percentage of network traffic, as well as network attacks, is encrypted, and it is important to recognize an attack quickly to prevent any damage to the running system. With traditional methods of traffic classification, such as the port-based traffic detection and deep packet inspection, it is very difficult to follow the demand of the modern traffic classification. In this thesis, machine learning is used as a solution to this problem. We developed a machine learning model based on binary classification which is able to detect attacks in encrypted network traffic. Our classification uses a new feature set, which consists of the following: the frame length, the time between packets in the flow and the direction of the flow. These are important features for us because their values do not change in encrypted traffic. The results open new discussions and change the view on today's traffic classification.

description: This study investigates the economic effects of external oil and food price shocks in the context of selected Asia and Pacific countries including Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India and Thailand. The study is conducted within the framework of SVAR model using quarterly data over the period 1980 to 2010 although start date varies based on availability of data. The study reveals that resource poor countries that specialize in heavy manufacturing industries like Korea and Taiwan are highly affected by international oil price shocks. Oil price shocks negatively affect industrial output growth and exchange rate and positively affect inflation and interest rates. On the other hand, oil poor nations such as Australia and New Zealand with diverse mineral resources other than oil are not affected by oil price shocks. Only exchange rates are affected by oil price shocks in these countries. Furthermore, countries that are oil poor but specialized in international financial services are also not affected by oil price increase. Similarly, developing country Like India with limited reserve of oil is not affected by oil price shock. However, Thailand possessing a number of natural resources other than oil is not accommodative of oil price shocks. Limited impact of food prices can be recorded for India, Korea and Thailand in terms of industrial output, inflation and interest rate. The major impact of food prices is that it helps depreciating real effective exchange rate for almost all countries except Singapore. As a whole, the effects of external oil and food prices depend on the economic characteristics of the countries. The empirical results of this study suggest that oil and food prices should be considered for policy and forecasting purposes especially for Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.

description: Transient radio sources are necessarily compact and usually are the locations of explosive or dynamic events, therefore offering unique opportunities for probing fundamental physics and astrophysics. In addition, short-duration transients are powerful probes of intervening media owing to dispersion, scattering and Faraday rotation that modify the signals. While radio astronomy has an impressive record obtaining high time resolution, usually it is achieved in quite narrow fields of view. Consequently, the dynamic radio sky is poorly sampled, in contrast to the situation in the X-ray and gamma-ray bands. The SKA has the potential to change this situation, opening up new parameter space in the search for radio transients. We summarize the wide variety of known and hypothesized radio transients and demonstrate that the SKA offers considerable power in exploring this parameter space. Requirements on the SKA to search the parameter space include the abilities to (1) Make targeted searches using beamforming capability; (2) Conduct blind, all-sky surveys with dense sampling of the frequency-time plane in wide fields; (3) Sample the sky with multiple fields of view from spatially well-separated sites in order to discriminate celestial and terrestrial signals; (4) Utilize as much of the SKA's aggregate collecting area as possible in blind surveys, thus requiring a centrally condensed configuration; and (5) Localize repeating transient sources to high angular precision, requiring a configuration with long baselines, thus requiring collecting area in both a centrally condensed "core" array and sufficient area on long baselines.

description: The life satisfaction approach has recently emerged as a new technique in the suite of options available to non-market valuation practitioners. This paper examines the influence of ecosystem diversity on the life satisfaction of residents of South East Queensland, Australia. It is found that, on average, a respondent is willing-to-pay approximately AUD$20,000 in household income per annum to obtain a one-unit improvement in ecosystem diversity. This result indicates that the life satisfaction effects of improvements in ecosystem diversity are substantial, and greater than the welfare effects implied by studies using more conventional non-market valuation techniques.

description: The fundamentals and higher vibrationally excited states for the N$_3^+$ ion in its electronic ground state have been determined from quantum bound state calculations on 3-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) at the CCSD(T)-F12 and MRCI+Q levels of theory. The vibrational fundamentals are at 1130 cm$^{-1}$ ($ν_1$, symmetric stretch), 807 cm$^{-1}$ ($ν_3$, asymmetric stretch), and 406 cm$^{-1}$ ($ν_2$, bend) on the higher-quality CCSD(T)-F12 surface. For $ν_1$, the calculations are close to the estimated frequency from experiment (1170 cm$^{-1}$) and previous calculations\cite{rosmus.n3:1994} which find it at 1190 cm$^{-1}$. Calculations of the vibrational states on the MRCI+Q PES are in qualitative agreement with those using the CCSD(T)-F12 PES. Analysis of the reference CASSCF wave function for the MRCI+Q calculations provides further insight into the shape of the PES and lends support for the reliability of Hartree-Fock as the reference wave function for the coupled cluster calculations. According to this, N$_3^+$ has mainly single reference character in all low-energy regions of its electronic ground state ($^3$A$''$) 3d PES.

description: There is mounting evidence that urban development in New Zealand has contributed to poor water quality and ecological degradation of coastal and fresh water receiving waters. As a consequence, local governments have identified the need for improved methods to guide decision making to achieve improved outcomes for those receiving waters. This paper reports progress on a research programme to develop a catchmentscale spatial decision-support system (SDSS) that will aid evaluation of the impacts of urban development on attributes such as water and sediment quality; ecosystem health; and economic, social and cultural values. The SDSS aims to express indicators of impacts on these values within a sustainability indexing system in order to allow local governments to consider them holistically over planning timeframes of several decades. The SDSS will use a combination of deterministic and probabilistic methods to, firstly, estimate changes to environmental stressors such as contaminant loads from different land use and stormwater management scenarios and, secondly, use these results and information from a range of other sources to generate indicator values. This paper describes the project’s approach to the derivation of indicators of economic and social well being associated with the effects of urban storm water run-off on freshwater and estuarine receiving waters.

description: The self-wetting properties of ionic crystal surfaces are studied, using NaCl(100) as a prototype case. The anomalously large contact angle measured long ago by Mutaftschiev is well reproduced by realistic molecular dynamics simulations. Based on these results, and on independent determinations of the liquid-vapor and the solid-vapor interface free energy, an estimate of the solid-liquid interface free energy is extracted. The solid-vapor surface free energy turns out to be small and similar to the liquid-vapor one, providing a direct thermodynamic explanation of the reduced wetting ability of the ionic melt.

description: For a class of solutions of the fundamental difference equation of isotropic loop quantum cosmology, the difference equation can be replaced by a differential equation valid for {\em all} values of the triad variable. The differential equation admits a `unique' non-singular continuation through vanishing triad. A WKB approximation for the solutions leads to an effective continuum Hamiltonian. The effective dynamics is also non-singular (no big bang singularity) and approximates the classical dynamics for large volumes. The effective evolution is thus a more reliable model for further phenomenological implications of the small volume effects.

description: Reinforcement learning (RL) is a framework to optimize a control policy using rewards that are revealed by the system as a response to a control action. In its standard form, RL involves a single agent that uses its policy to accomplish a specific task. These methods require large amounts of reward samples to achieve good performance, and may not generalize well when the task is modified, even if the new task is related. In this paper we are interested in a collaborative scheme in which multiple agents with different tasks optimize their policies jointly. To this end, we introduce cross-learning, in which agents tackling related tasks have their policies constrained to be close to one another. Two properties make our new approach attractive: (i) it produces a multi-task central policy that can be used as a starting point to adapt quickly to one of the tasks trained for, in a situation when the agent does not know which task is currently facing, and (ii) as in meta-learning, it adapts to environments related but different to those seen during training. We focus on continuous policies belonging to reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces for which we bound the distance between the task-specific policies and the cross-learned policy. To solve the resulting optimization problem, we resort to a projected policy gradient algorithm and prove that it converges to a near-optimal solution with high probability. We evaluate our methodology with a navigation example in which agents can move through environments with obstacles of multiple shapes and avoid obstacles not trained for.

description: The objective of this research is to examine the share values of publicly traded U.S. agribusiness firms to determine if they are influenced by the adoption of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices. Adoption of sustainability initiatives that are in line with the requirements of CSR were made based upon a firm’s inclusion on a Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI). To accomplish this task, we utilize an event study methodology. Typically, we find that the share values of agribusinesses react negatively, at least in the short-term, when the announcement is made that the firm will become a member of the DJSI.

description: Information on the cost of adaptation in freshwater systems is necessary to better design strategies to face climate change and water management. We look at the existing estimates with the aim of identifying research gaps. Our analysis shows that case study-specific literature is scarce, fragmented, and not always methodologically transparent. At the same time, most existing global assessments are likely to represent underestimates and rely heavily on each other. We conclude that a clear conceptual framework is still missing. Remaining research gaps include addressing inter-sector linkages and estimations of other than only direct costs, in addition to addressing the issues of ‘adaptation deficit’ and ‘residual damage’.

description: Different stakeholders, governments, civil society, and the private sector are collectively committed to ending the global TB epidemic by 2030. To achieve the goal, all partners should collaborate to strengthen the existing diagnostic and treatment facility, patient support system, and communication that needs to be built around the strategy. The concurrent multi-prong approach will lead to the achievement of the goals. All stakeholders must actively participate in the TB elimination program to augment their efforts in this direction to make this dream a reality. Synergies must be developed among partners, and there should be no duplication of efforts. Advanced technologies and Data Science can also be used effectively toward sensitization regarding prevention measures for individuals, families, communities, and the public in general based on their biological, medical, social, and economic risk profiles.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: In this paper we obtain various results about the geometry of nilpotent orbits. In particular, we obtain a better understanding of the Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence and Kronheimer's instanton flow. We utilize the moment map of Ness and the SL(2)-orbit theorem from Hodge theory. The results of this paper are used in the proof of the Barbarsch-Vogan conjecture in math.RT/0005305 (Ann. of Math. (2) 151 (2000), no. 3, 1071-1118).

description: The ATP-binding cassette transporter GlnPQ is an essential uptake system that transports glutamine, glutamic acid and asparagine in Gram-positive bacteria. It features two extra-cytoplasmic substrate-binding domains (SBDs) that are linked in tandem to the transmembrane domain of the transporter. The two SBDs differ in their ligand specificities, binding affinities and their distance to the transmembrane domain. Here, we elucidate the effects of the tandem arrangement of the domains on the biochemical, biophysical and structural properties of the protein. For this, we determined the crystal structure of the ligand-free tandem SBD1-2 protein from Lactococcus lactis in the absence of the transporter and compared the tandem to the isolated SBDs. We also used isothermal titration calorimetry to determine the ligand-binding affinity of the SBDs and single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) to relate ligand binding to conformational changes in each of the domains of the tandem. We show that substrate binding and conformational changes are not notably affected by the presence of the adjoining domain in the wild-type protein, and changes only occur when the linker between the domains is shortened. In a proof-of-concept experiment, we combine smFRET with protein-induced fluorescence enhancement (PIFE–FRET) and show that a decrease in SBD linker length is observed as a linear increase in donor-brightness for SBD2 while we can still monitor the conformational states (open/closed) of SBD1. These results demonstrate the feasibility of PIFE–FRET to monitor protein–protein interactions and conformational states simultaneously.
Piggybacking on Quantum Streams

description: This paper shows that it is possible to piggyback classical information on a stream of qubits protected by quantum error correcting codes. The piggyback channel can be created by introducing intentional errors corresponding to a controlled sequence of syndromes. These syndromes are further protected, when quantum noise is present, by classical error correcting codes according to a performance-delay trade-off. Classical information can thus be added and extracted at arbitrary epochs without consuming additional quantum resources and without disturbing the quantum stream.

description: By combining band gap engineering with the self-organized growth of quantum dots, we present a scheme of adjusting the mid-infrared absorption properties to desired energy transitions in quantum dot based photodetectors. Embedding the self organized InAs quantum dots into an AlAs/GaAs superlattice enables us to tune the optical transition energy by changing the superlattice period as well as by changing the growth conditions of the dots. Using a one band envelope function framework we are able, in a fully three dimensional calculation, to predict the photocurrent spectra of these devices as well as their polarization properties. The calculations further predict a strong impact of the dots on the superlattices minibands. The impact of vertical dot alignment or misalignment on the absorption properties of this dot/superlattice structure is investigated. The observed photocurrent spectra of vertically coupled quantum dot stacks show very good agreement with the calculations.In these experiments, vertically coupled quantum dot stacks show the best performance in the desired photodetector application.

description: We review how (dimensionally regulated) scattering amplitudes in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory provide a useful testing ground for perturbative QCD calculations relevant to collider physics, as well as another avenue for investigating the AdS/CFT correspondence. We describe the iterative relation for two-loop scattering amplitudes in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory found in C. Anastasiou et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 91:251602 (2003), and discuss recent progress toward extending it to three loops.

description: We investigate the generation of a gluon screening mass in Yang-Mills theory in the Landau gauge. We propose a gauge-fixing procedure where the Gribov ambiguity is overcome by summing over all Gribov copies with some weight function. This can be formulated in terms of a local field theory involving constrained, nonlinear sigma model fields. We show that a phenomenon of radiative symmetry restoration occurs in this theory, similar to what happens in the standard nonlinear sigma model in two dimensions. This results in a nonzero gluon screening mass, as seen in lattice simulations.

description: In this paper we study the fractional p(., .)-Laplacian and we introduce the corresponding nonlocal conormal derivative for this operator. We prove basic properties of the corresponding function space and we establish a nonlocal version of the divergence theorem for such operators. In the second part of this paper, we prove the existence of weak solutions of corresponding p(., .)-Robin boundary problems with sign-changing potentials by applying variational tools.
