description: COVID-19 has become a new global risk in a context that has already weaken the world economy. the COVID-19 outbreak comes on the top of a rather uncertain scenario of continued geopolitical, social and trade tensions, post-Brexit effects, and an uneven performance among major outbound travel markets. Considering the evolving nature of the situation, it is too early to estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 on tourism industry. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak will undoubtedly be felt across the whole tourism value chain. All tourist industry is expected to be affected. This calls for support and recovery measures for the tourism sector in the most affected countries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is discussing about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism industry. The results of this study show that the prevalence of Corona affects income growth negatively and also the number of tourists entering the tourism industry worldwide. After SARS epidemic in 2003 and the global economic crisis of 2009, this is the biggest tangible crisis in the tourism industry, which has been introduced to three scenarios and made some special suggestions. This research has been conducted by relying on journals, historical records, newspaper articles, news press, World Health Organization (WHO) statistics and World Tourism organization (UNWTO) statistics on COVID-19 incidences in tourism. Secondary research was adopted in which secondary collected data through a comprehensive literature review.

description: We discuss a previous attempt at a microscopic counting of the entropy of asymptotically flat non-extremal black-holes. This method used string dualities to relate 4 and 5 dimensional black holes to the BTZ black hole. We show how the dualities can be justified in a certain limit, equivalent to a near horizon limit, but the resulting spacetime is no longer asymptotically flat.

description: In recent years Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable results and even showed super-human capabilities in a broad range of domains. This led people to trust in DNNs' classifications and resulting actions even in security-sensitive environments like autonomous driving. Despite their impressive achievements, DNNs are known to be vulnerable to adversarial examples. Such inputs contain small perturbations to intentionally fool the attacked model. In this paper, we present a novel end-to-end framework to detect such attacks during classification without influencing the target model's performance. Inspired by recent research in neuron-coverage guided testing we show that dense layers of DNNs carry security-sensitive information. With a secondary DNN we analyze the activation patterns of the dense layers during classification runtime, which enables effective and real-time detection of adversarial examples. Our prototype implementation successfully detects adversarial examples in image, natural language, and audio processing. Thereby, we cover a variety of target DNNs, including Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) architectures. In addition, to effectively defend against state-of-the-art attacks, our approach generalizes between different sets of adversarial examples. Thus, our method most likely enables us to detect even future, yet unknown attacks. Finally, during white-box adaptive attacks, we show our method cannot be easily bypassed.

description: We theoretically investigate spin pumping into a quantum easy-plane ferromagnetic spin chain system. This quantum spin chain is effectively described by the Tomonaga-Luttinger (TL) liquid despite the ferromagnetic exchange interaction because of the easy-plane magnetic anisotropy. This TL liquid state has an extremely strong interaction that is hardly realized in other quantum antiferromagnetic chain systems or weakly interacting electron systems. We show how the strongly interacting TL liquid affects the ferromagnetic resonance that occurs in the ferromagnetic insulator. In particular, we discuss the dependence of the Gilbert damping on the temperature and the junction length. The Gilbert damping allows us to extract information about the above-mentioned strong interaction within the quantum ferromagnetic spin chain. We also point out that a well-known compound CsCuCl$_3$ will be suitable for the realization of our setup.

description: Conventional artificial neural networks are powerful tools in science and industry, but they can fail when applied to nonlinear systems where order and chaos coexist. We use neural networks that incorporate the structures and symmetries of Hamiltonian dynamics to predict phase space trajectories even as nonlinear systems transition from order to chaos. We demonstrate Hamiltonian neural networks on the canonical Henon-Heiles system, which models diverse dynamics from astrophysics to chemistry. The power of the technique and the ubiquity of chaos suggest widespread utility.

description: The phase spaces of the two- and three-frequency sine-Gordon models are examined in the framework of truncated conformal space approach. The focus is mainly on a tricritical point in the phase space of the three-frequency model. We give substantial evidence that this point exists. We also find the critical line in the phase space and present TCSA data showing the change of the spectrum on the critical line as the tricritical endpoint is approached. We find a few points of the line of first order transition as well.

description: A lensless camera is an imaging system that uses a mask in place of a lens, making it thinner, lighter, and less expensive than a lensed camera. However, additional complex computation and time are required for image reconstruction. This work proposes a deep learning model named Raw3dNet that recognizes hand gestures directly on raw videos captured by a lensless camera without the need for image restoration. In addition to conserving computational resources, the reconstruction-free method provides privacy protection. Raw3dNet is a novel end-to-end deep neural network model for the recognition of hand gestures in lensless imaging systems. It is created specifically for raw video captured by a lensless camera and has the ability to properly extract and combine temporal and spatial features. The network is composed of two stages: 1. spatial feature extractor (SFE), which enhances the spatial features of each frame prior to temporal convolution; 2. 3D-ResNet, which implements spatial and temporal convolution of video streams. The proposed model achieves 98.59% accuracy on the Cambridge Hand Gesture dataset in the lensless optical experiment, which is comparable to the lensed-camera result. Additionally, the feasibility of physical object recognition is assessed. Furtherly, we show that the recognition can be achieved with respectable accuracy using only a tiny portion of the original raw data, indicating the potential for reducing data traffic in cloud computing scenarios.

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are energetic, millisecond-duration radio pulses observed at extragalactic distances and whose origins are still a subject of heated debate. A fraction of the FRB population have shown repeating bursts, however it's still unclear whether these represent a distinct class of sources. We investigated the bursting behaviour of FRB 20220912A, one of the most active repeating FRBs known thus far. In particular, we focused on its burst energy distribution, linked to the source energetics, and its emission spectrum, with the latter directly related to the underlying emission mechanism. We monitored FRB 20220912A at $408$ MHz with the Northern Cross radio telescope and at $1.4$ GHz using the $32$-m Medicina Grueff radio telescope. Additionally, we conducted $1.2$ GHz observations taken with the upgraded Giant Meter Wave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) searching for a persistent radio source coincident with FRB 20220912A, which included high energy observations in the $0.3-10$ keV, $0.4-100$ MeV and $0.03-30$ GeV energy range. We report $16$ new bursts from FRB 20220912A at $408$ MHz during the period between October 16$^{\rm th}$ 2022 and December 31$^{\rm st}$ 2023. Their cumulative spectral energy distribution follows a power law with slope $α_E = -1.3 \pm 0.2$ and we measured a repetition rate of $0.19 \pm 0.03$ hr$^{-1}$ for bursts having a fluence of $\mathcal{F} \geq 17$ Jy ms. Furthermore, we report no detections at 1.4 GHz for $\mathcal{F} \geq 20$ Jy ms. These non-detections imply an upper limit of $β< -2.3$, with $β$ being the $408$ MHz $-$ $1.4$ GHz spectral index of FRB 20220912A. This is inconsistent with positive $β$ values found for the only two known cases in which an FRB has been detected in separate spectral bands. We find that FRB 20220912A shows a decline of four orders of magnitude in its bursting activity at $1.4$ GHz over a .. (abridged)

description: We use lattice Boltzmann simulations to solve the Beris-Edwards equations of motion for a cholesteric liquid crystal subjected to Poiseuille flow along the direction of the helical axis (permeative flow). The results allow us to clarify and extend the approximate analytic treatments currently available. We find that if the cholesteric helix is pinned at the boundaries there is an enormous viscosity increase. If, instead, the helix is free the velocity profile is flattened but the viscosity is essentially unchanged. We highlight the importance of secondary flows and, for higher flow velocities, we identify a flow-induced double twist structure in the director field -- reminiscent of the texture characteristic of blue phases.

description: The work shows the ability to visualize radiotracers used in SPECT with a system based on a coded aperture mask and a hybrid pixel Timepix detector with the CdTe sensor. Characterization of the system using X-rays and radioactive sources confirms that the spatial resolution of less than 1 mm with a field of view 3 cm x 3 cm can be achieved. The results of a simulation study to determine the expected spatial resolution of the system in the focal plane for the various radionuclides is presented. The possibility of using this system with a thin (1.5 mm) coded aperture mask for reconstructing images of gamma emitters with the energy up to 180 keV is demonstrated.
Statistical evaporation of rotating clusters. II. Angular momentum distribution

Year: 2003

description: The change in the angular momentum of an atomic cluster following evaporation is investigated using rigorous phase space theory and molecular dynamics simulations, with an aim at the possible rotational cooling and heating effects. Influences of the shape of the interaction potential, anharmonicity of the vibrational density of states (DOS), and the initial distribution of excitation energies are systematically studied on the example of the Lennard-Jones cluster LJ_14. For this system, the predictions of PST are in quantitative agreement with the results of the simulations, provided that the correct forms for the vibrational density of states and the interaction potential are used. The harmonic approximation to the DOS is used to obtain explicit forms for the angular momentum distribution in larger clusters. These are seen to undergo preferential cooling when thermally excited, and preferential heating when subject to a strong vibrational excitation.

description: Spiral arms are the most characteristic features of disc galaxies, easily distinguishable due to their association with ongoing star formation. However, the role of spiral structure in the chemical evolution of galaxies is unclear. Here we explore gas-phase abundance variations between arm and interarm regions for a sample of 45 spiral galaxies using high spatial resolution VLT/MUSE Integral Field Spectroscopy data. We report the presence of more metal-rich HII regions in the spiral arms with respect to the corresponding interarm regions for a large subsample of galaxies ($45-65\%$ depending on the adopted calibrator for the abundance derivation). A small percentage of the sample is observed to display the opposite trend, that is, more metal-poor HII regions in the spiral arms compared to that of the interarms ($5-20\%$ depending on the calibrator). We investigate the dependence of the variations with three galaxy properties: the stellar mass, the presence of bars, and the flocculent/grand design appearance of spiral arms. In all cases, we observe that the arm-interarm abundance differences are larger (positive) in more massive and grand-design galaxies. This is confirmed by an analogous spaxel-wise analysis, which also shows a noticeable effect of the presence of galactic bars, with barred systems presenting larger (positive) arm-interarm abundance variations than unbarred systems. The comparison of our results with new predictions from theoretical models exploring the nature of the spirals would highly impact on our knowledge on how these structures form and affect their host galaxies.

description: Folk custom is specific embodiment of regional economy, society and culture, which has certain impact on targeted poverty alleviation work. Under the background, by analyzing logical relationship between folk custom and targeted poverty alleviation, and combining actual work experience, its impact on targeted poverty alleviation work is summarized. Analysis results show that folk custom has an active role in poverty alleviation through education, tourism and industry, and could obstruct poverty returning to certain degree. But its dross part brings stubborn conservatism, which hinders progress of regional thinking, reduces the effect of poverty alleviation, affects local people's behavior choice, and also obstructs popularization of poverty alleviation projects. Therefore, it needs conducting necessary guide and management of folk custom in targeted poverty alleviation work, changing existing habits and customs, developing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, which could improve the accuracy of poverty alleviation, and better achieve the goal of poverty alleviation.

description: Hydrostatic pressure effects on the temperature- and magnetic field dependencies of the in-plane and out-of-plane magnetization of the bi-layered perovskite Sr3Ru2O7 have been studied by SQUID magnetometer measurements under a hydrostatic helium-gas pressure. The anomalously enhanced low-temperature value of the paramagnetic susceptibility has been found to systematically decrease with increasing pressure. The effect is accompanied by an increase of the temperature Tmax of a pronounced peak of susceptibility. Thus, magnetization measurements under hydrostatic pressure reveal that the lattice contraction in the structure of Sr3Ru2O7 promotes antiferromagnetism and not ferromagnetism, contrary to the previous beliefs. The effects can be explained by the enhancement of the inter-bi-layer antiferromagnetic spin coupling, driven by the shortening of the superexchange path, and suppression, due to the band-broadening effect, of competing itinerant ferromagnetic correlations.

description: The demonstration effect triggered by the construction of Zhejiang’s characteristic towns has attracted attention and learning from all over the country, and has set off a boom in building characteristic towns across the country. Under the dual constraints of industrial development and resource intensive use, the undeveloped areas of central China must find suitable development paths for characteristic towns. Taking Yichun City as an example, this article analyzes the advantages of Yichun City for developing characteristic towns combining its natural and economic conditions. In addition, the characteristic town development paths, such as vigorously promoting the construction of urban facilities, highlighting the characteristics relying on existing small towns, constructing an industrial chain of “ecology + leisure”, highlighting cultural charm, and improving development grade, are proposed to provide useful reference for the development of characteristic towns in this type of underdeveloped cities in central China.

description: Industrial manufacturing has developed during the last decades from a labor-intensive manual control of machines to a fully-connected automated process. The next big leap is known as industry 4.0, or smart manufacturing. With industry 4.0 comes increased integration between IT systems and the factory floor from the customer order system to final delivery of the product. One benefit of this integration is mass production of individually customized products. However, this has proven challenging to implement into existing factories, considering that their lifetime can be up to 30 years. The single most important parameter to measure in a factory is the operating hours of each machine. Operating hours can be affected by machine maintenance as well as re-configuration for different products. For older machines without connectivity, the operating state is typically indicated by signal lights of green, yellow and red colours. Accordingly, the goal is to develop a solution which can measure the operational state using the input from a video camera capturing a factory floor. Using methods commonly employed for traffic light recognition in autonomous cars, a system with an accuracy of over 99% in the specified conditions is presented. It is believed that if more diverse video data becomes available, a system with high reliability that generalizes well could be developed using a similar methodology.

description: The focus of this graduating paper is on the use of process drama and the many benefits the strategy has in the elementary classroom. The first part of this study explores some of the recent literature about process drama. Specifically, I take a close look at the writings of Booth (1985), Fels & Belliveau (2008), Heathcote (1969), Neelands & Goode (2008), and 0 ' Neill (1995) among others. The second part of my paper suggests ways in which process drama can be used in the classroom to support student learning (more specifically reading). In this section I provide sample activities and strategies that are illustrated with specific picture books: The Cello of Mr. 0 (Cutler, 1999), The Bomb and The General (Eco, 1989), Rose Blanche (Innocenti, 1985), and The Composition (Skarmeta, 1998). There are also quick references provided for the activities detailed in the paper for teacher/facilitator use, as well as assessment suggestions.

description: Large water Cherenkov detectors have been successfully used for decades in high- and low-energy particle physics. Nevertheless, detecting neutrons remains a challenge for such detectors since a neutron capture on a hydrogen atom doesn't release a sufficient amount of gamma energy to be observed efficiently. The use of gadolinium in the form of soluble salts has been explored extensively to remedy this issue, as gadolinium exhibits both a very large neutron capture cross section and a subsequent high-energy gamma cascade. However, in order for large gadolinium-loaded detectors to operate stably over long time periods, water optical transparency must be maintained by in situ purification. New methods have been developed involving band-pass molecular filtering. While these methods are very successful, they are expensive and consume considerable power and space as they seek to minimize loss of gadolinium while removing other impurities. For smaller detectors where some gadolinium loss can be tolerated, a less expensive way to do this is very desirable. In this paper, we describe the design, development and testing of a system used to purify the gadolinium-loaded water in the 26-ton ANNIE neutrino detector.

description: Generalized symmetries often appear in the form of emergent symmetries in low energy effective descriptions of quantum many-body systems. Non-invertible symmetries are a particularly exotic class of generalized symmetries, in that they are implemented by transformations that do not form a group. Such symmetries appear in large families of gapless states of quantum matter and constrain their low-energy dynamics. To provide a UV-complete description of such symmetries, it is useful to construct lattice models that respect these symmetries exactly. In this paper, we discuss two families of one-dimensional lattice Hamiltonians with finite on-site Hilbert spaces: one with (invertible) $S^{\,}_3$ symmetry and the other with non-invertible $\mathsf{Rep}(S^{\,}_3)$ symmetry. Our models are largely analytically tractable and demonstrate all possible spontaneous symmetry breaking patterns of these symmetries. Moreover, we use numerical techniques to study the nature of continuous phase transitions between the different symmetry-breaking gapped phases associated with both symmetries. Both models have self-dual lines, where the models are enriched by so-called intrinsically non-invertible symmetries generated by Kramers-Wannier-like duality transformations. We provide explicit lattice operators that generate these non-invertible self-duality symmetries. We show that the enhanced symmetry at the self-dual lines is described by a 2+1D symmetry-topological-order (SymTO) of type $\mathrm{JK}^{\,}_4\boxtimes \overline{\mathrm{JK}}^{\,}_4$. The condensable algebras of the SymTO determine the allowed gapped and gapless states of the self-dual $S^{\,}_3$-symmetric and $\mathsf{Rep}(S^{\,}_3)$-symmetric models.

description: Built in 2004, the Skynet robotic telescope network originally consisted of six 0.4 m telescopes located at the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory in the Chilean Andes. The network was designed to carry out simultaneous multi-wavelength observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) when they are only tens of seconds old. To date, the network has been expanded to ~20 telescopes, including a 20 m radio telescope, that span four continents and five countries. The Campaign Manager (CM) is a new observing mode that has been developed for Skynet. Available to all Skynet observers, the CM semi-autonomously and indefinitely scales and schedules exposures on the observer's behalf while allowing for modification to scaling parameters in real time. The CM is useful for follow up to various transient phenomena including gravitational-wave events, GRB localizations, young supernovae, and eventually, sufficiently bright Argus Optical Array and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope events.

Order Acceptance and Scheduling with Sequence-dependent Setup Times: a New Memetic Algorithm and Benchmark of the State of the Art

description: The Order Acceptance and Scheduling (OAS) problem describes a class of real-world problems such as in smart manufacturing and satellite scheduling. This problem consists of simultaneously selecting a subset of orders to be processed as well as determining the associated schedule. A common generalization includes sequence-dependent setup times and time windows. A novel memetic algorithm for this problem, called Sparrow, comprises a hybridization of biased random key genetic algorithm (BRKGA) and adaptive large neighbourhood search (ALNS). Sparrow integrates the exploration ability of BRKGA and the exploitation ability of ALNS. On a set of standard benchmark instances, this algorithm obtains better-quality solutions with runtimes comparable to state-of-the-art algorithms. To further understand the strengths and weaknesses of these algorithms, their performance is also compared on a set of new benchmark instances with more realistic properties. We conclude that Sparrow is distinguished by its ability to solve difficult instances from the OAS literature, and that the hybrid steady-state genetic algorithm (HSSGA) performs well on large instances in terms of optimality gap, although taking more time than Sparrow.

description: Excerpts from the report: A new development in food retailing seems to be under way: Food is being sold by discount houses. The number of these houses is increasing rapidly with the volume of food sold through their food departments growing at an even more rapid pace. Although few trading areas have been penetrated and relatively few discount houses have food departments, trade estimates place food sales by discount houses at an annual rate of $2 billion (about 4 percent of total retail food sales), a figure that some believe may quadruple in the next 4 years. Food retailers and wholesalers devoted a major part of their convention programs in 1961, to discussions of discount operations--their own or their competitors. This article is based on a preliminary study of the impact of retail food operations by discount houses, which included a review of literature in the field of discounting; interviews with wholesalers, supermarket operators, retailers, discount house operators; and observations in representative types of discount house retail food operations.

description: Virtualization technology is widely used for sharing the abilities of computer systems by splitting the resources among various virtual PCs. In traditional computer systems, the utilization of hardware is not maximized and the resources are not fully consumed. By using the virtualization technology, the maximum utilization of computer system hardware is possible. Today, many organizations especially educational institutes are adopting virtualization technology to minimize the costs and increase the flexibility, responsiveness, and efficiency. In this paper, we built a virtual educational lab in which we successfully implemented Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and created more than 30 virtual desktops. The virtual desktops are created on the Citrix XenServer hypervisor using the Citrix XenDesktop. Finally, we used benchmarking software tool called Login VSI in order to measure the performance of the virtual desktop infrastructure and the XenServer hypervisor. The results have shown that the system performs well with 30 virtual desktops without reaching the saturation point.

description: We study the infimum of the spectrum, or ground state energy (g.s.e.), of a discrete Schrödinger operator on $θ\mathbb{Z}^d$ parameterized by a potential $V:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}$ and a frequency parameter $θ\in (0,1)$. We relate this g.s.e. to that of a corresponding continuous semiclassical Schrödinger operator on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with parameter $θ$, arising from the same choice of potential. We show that: the discrete g.s.e. is at most the continuous one for continuous periodic $V$ and irrational $θ$; the opposite inequality holds up to a factor of $1-o(1)$ as $θ\rightarrow 0$ for sufficiently regular smooth periodic $V$; and the opposite inequality holds up to a constant factor for every bounded $V$ and $θ$ with the property that discrete and continuous averages of $V$ on fundamental domains of $θ\mathbb{Z}^d$ are comparable. Our proofs are elementary and rely on sampling and interpolation to map low-energy functions for the discrete operator on $θ\mathbb{Z}^d$ to low-energy functions for the continuous operator on $\mathbb{R}^d$, and vice versa.
