description: AOtools is a Python package which is open-source and aimed at providing tools for adaptive optics users and researchers. We present version 1.0 which contains tools for adaptive optics processing, including analysing data in the pupil plane, images and point spread functions in the focal plane, wavefront sensors, modelling of atmospheric turbulence, physical optical propagation of wavefronts, and conversion between frequently used adaptive optics and astronomical units. The main drivers behind AOtools is that it should be easy to install and use. To achieve this the project features extensive documentation, automated unit testing and is registered on the Python Package Index. AOtools is under continuous active development to expand the features available and we encourage everyone involved in adaptive optics to become involved and contribute to the project.

description: The migration of scholars is a major driver of innovation and of diffusion of knowledge. Although large-scale bibliometric data have been used to measure international migration of scholars, our understanding of internal migration among researchers is very limited. This is partly due to a lack of data aggregated at a suitable sub-national level. In this study, we analyze internal migration in Mexico based on over 1.1 million authorship records from the Scopus database. We trace the movements of scholars between Mexican states, and provide key demographic measures of internal migration for the 1996-2018 period. From a methodological perspective, we develop a new framework for enhancing data quality, inferring states from affiliations, and detecting moves from modal states for the purposes of studying internal migration among researchers. Substantively, we combine demographic and network science techniques to improve our understanding of internal migration patterns within country boundaries. The migration patterns between states in Mexico appear to be heterogeneous in size and direction across regions. However, while many scholars remain in their regions, there seems to be a preference for Mexico City and the surrounding states as migration destinations. We observed that over the past two decades, there has been a general decreasing trend in the crude migration intensity. However, the migration network has become more dense and more diverse, and has included greater exchanges between states along the Gulf and the Pacific Coast. Our analysis, which is mostly empirical in nature, lays the foundations for testing and developing theories that can rely on the analytical framework developed by migration scholars, and the richness of appropriately processed bibliometric data.

Towards a Procedure to Anonymize Micro Data: Anonymizing Data from Offical Statistics for Public Use
Creators: name: Gysen, Katelijn
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: In general, the data collected by a national statistical office relies on large samples, regular data collection and mostly long time series, which makes the data interesting for secondary use. In order to give public access to this data, the issue of finding a good balance between the re-identification risk of the respondents and the utility of the data has to be dealt with. Several projects and publications in the field of Statistical Disclosure Control describe successfully the possiblities of statistics and have developed tools to anoymize; whereas little ha been published on thresholds to guarantee an acceptable balance between the re-identification risk and the data-utility. This presentation will give insight ot the work that has been done by FORS in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (SFSO) towards a procedure to anoymize data such that the data can be provided to the public. The procedure describes how to define and reach the required level of anonymity of a respondent. Of course, this procedure and the thresholds can be adjusted for any other dissemination of micro-data, e.g. survey data collected by researchers interested in making their data available for secondary use.

Results are also compared to the nonrelativistic DWIA predictions based on the Schrödinger equation.

Markov Decision Process Based Design of SWIPT Systems: Non-linear EH Circuits, Memory, and Impedance Mismatch

description: In this paper, we study simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) systems employing practical non-linear energy harvester (EH) circuits. Since the voltage across the reactive elements of realistic EH circuits cannot drop or rise instantaneously, EHs have memory which we model with a Markov decision process (MDP). Moreover, since an analytical model that accurately models all non-linear effects and the unavoidable impedance mismatch of EHs is not tractable, we propose a learning based model for the EH circuit. We optimize the input signal distribution for maximization of the harvested power under a constraint on the minimum mutual information between transmitter (TX) and information receiver (IR). We distinguish the cases where the MDP state is known and not known at TX and IR. When the MDP state is known, the formulated optimization problem for the harvested power is convex. In contrast, if TX and IR do not know the MDP state, the resulting optimization problem is non-convex and solved via alternating optimization, which is shown to yield a limit point of the problem. Our simulation results reveal that the rate-power region of the considered SWIPT system depends on the symbol duration, the EH input power level, the EH impedance mismatch, and the type of EH circuit. In particular, a shorter symbol duration enables higher bit rates at the expense of a significant decrease in the average harvested power. Furthermore, whereas half-wave rectifiers outperform full-wave rectifiers in the low and medium input power regimes, full-wave rectifiers are preferable if the input power at the EH is high.

Year: 2013

description: The first institutional Research Data Management (RDM) policy by a UK Higher Education Institution was passed by the Senate of the University of Edinburgh in May 2011. This paper discusses plans to implement this policy by developing services needed to support researchers and fulfill the University's obligations within a changing national and international setting. Significant capital funding have been committed to a major RDM and storage initiative led by Information Services (IS) for the academic year 2012-13. An RDM steering group, made up of academic representatives from the three colleges and IS,nbsp;has been established to ensure that proposed services meet the needs of university researchers. It also overees the activity of an IS cross-divisional RDM Policy Implementation Committee, charged with delivering those policy objectives. An RDM Roadmap (http://www.ed.ac.uk/polopoly_fs/1.101223!/fileManager/UoE-RDM-Roadmap201121102.pdf) was published in November 2012 to provide a high level overview of the work to be carriedout. The roadmap focuses on four strategic areas: data management support, data management planning, active data infrastructure and data stewardship. IS will take requirements from research groups and IT professionals, and are conducting pilot work involving volunteer research units within the three colleges to develop functionality and presentation for the key services.

description: We study how changes to the common agricultural policy (CAP) affect eutrophication of the Baltic Sea. Our results indicate that if the entire first pillar of the CAP, containing the direct payments, greening and accompanying measures, were to be abolished, production and agricultural land use would be reduced while yields and fertilizer use per hectare would go up. Our computations indicate that the net effect of those opposite forces would be that nitrogen and phosphorus loadings from agriculture decrease, marginally improving indicators of good ecological status for eutrophication in the Baltic Sea, and thus that the first pillar contributes to aggravating eutrophication of the Baltic Sea.
Cohomological Operators and Covariant Quantum Superalgebras

description: We obtain an interesting realization of the de Rham cohomological operators of differential geometry in terms of the noncommutative q-superoscillators for the supersymmetric quantum group GL_{qp} (1|1). In particular, we show that a unique superalgebra, obeyed by the bilinears of fermionic and bosonic noncommutative q-(super)oscillators of GL_{qp} (1|1), is exactly identical to that obeyed by the de Rham cohomological operators. A set of discrete symmetry transformation for a set of GL_{qp} (1|1) covariant superalgebras turns out to be the analogue of the Hodge duality * operation of differential geometry. A connection with an extended BRST algebra obeyed by the nilpotent (anti-)BRST and (anti-)co-BRST charges, the ghost charge and a bosonic charge (which is equal to the anticommutator of (anti-)BRST and (anti-)co-BRST charges) is also established.

description: Microplastic pollution has recently gained the attention of the public media, politics and research. Microplastics (i.e., plastic particles less than 5mm in size) have been identified as a global environmental threat for terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and human health. Agriculture is assumed to be both victim and polluter of microplastic pollution. Agricultural soils receive microplastic immissions from tire wear and fragmented macroplastic that enters the environment through littering. Furthermore, farmers who fertilize their arable land with sewage sludge and compost unintentionally apply the microplastic particles contained in these biosolids. On the other hand, agricultural soils may emit microplastics into aquatic environment. Because of this ambivalent position as both victim and polluter, the information on microplastic pollution is of current interest for agricultural production and might become a relevant topic for agro-environmental policies in the future. Our research aims to quantify the microplastic immissions into agricultural soils and emissions from agricultural soils into aquatic systems. We use different analysis approaches and interdisciplinary modelling to address these aims for two case studies in Germany. Because research in microplastics is a relatively new concern, we combine different methodological approaches in a complementary way.
Lattice extraction of $ K \to ππ$ amplitudes to NLO in partially quenched and in full chiral perturbation theory

description: We show that it is possible to construct $ε^\prime/ε$ to NLO using partially quenched chiral perturbation theory (PQChPT) from amplitudes that are computable on the lattice. We demonstrate that none of the needed amplitudes require three-momentum on the lattice for either the full theory or the partially quenched theory; non-degenerate quark masses suffice. Furthermore, we find that the electro-weak penguin ($ΔI=3/2$ and 1/2) contributions to $ε^\prime/ε$ in PQChPT can be determined to NLO using only degenerate ($m_K=m_π$) $K\toπ$ computations without momentum insertion. Issues pertaining to power divergent contributions, originating from mixing with lower dimensional operators, are addressed. Direct calculations of $K\toππ$ at unphysical kinematics are plagued with enhanced finite volume effects in the (partially) quenched theory, but in simulations when the sea quark mass is equal to the up and down quark mass the enhanced finite volume effects vanish to NLO in PQChPT. In embedding the QCD penguin left-right operator onto PQChPT an ambiguity arises, as first emphasized by Golterman and Pallante. With one version (the "PQS") of the QCD penguin, the inputs needed from the lattice for constructing $K\toππ$ at NLO in PQChPT coincide with those needed for the full theory. Explicit expressions for the finite logarithms emerging from our NLO analysis to the above amplitudes are also given.

description: The effect of spatial curvature on primordial perturbations is controlled by $ Ω_{K,0}/c_{s}^{2} $, where $ Ω_{K,0} $ is today's fractional density of spatial curvature and $ c_{s} $ is the speed of sound during inflation. Here we study these effects in the limit $ c_{s}\ll 1 $. First, we show that the standard cosmological soft theorems in flat universes are violated in curved universes and the soft limits of correlators can have non-universal contributions even in single-clock inflation. This is a consequence of the fact that, in the presence of spatial curvature, there is a gap between the spectrum of residual diffeomorphisms and that of physical modes. Second, there are curvature corrections to primordial correlators, which are not scale invariant. We provide explicit formulae for these corrections to the power spectrum and the bispectrum to linear order in curvature in single-clock inflation. We show that the large-scale CMB anisotropies could provide interesting new constraints on these curvature effects, and therefore on $ Ω_{K,0}/c_{s}^{2} $, but it is necessary to go beyond our linear-order treatment.

description: We investigate the associated strangeness Lambda K+ and Sigma0 K+ productions in proton-proton collisions within an effective Lagrangian model. The initial interaction between the two nucleons is modeled by the exchange of pi, rho, omega, and sigma mesons and the strangeness production proceeds via excitations of N*(1650), N*(1710), and N*(1720) baryonic resonances. The parameters of the model at the nucleon-nucleon-meson vertices are determined by fitting the elastic nucleon-nucleon scattering with an effective interaction based on the exchange of these four mesons, while those at the resonance vertices are calculated from the known decay widths of the resonances and from the vector meson dominance model. Experimental data taken recently by the COSY-11 collaboration are described well by this approach. The one-pion-exchange diagram dominates the production process at both higher and lower beam energies. The excitation of the N*(1650) resonance dominates both the production channels at near threshold energies. Our model with final state interaction effects among the outgoing particles included within the Watson-Migdal approximation, is able to explain the observed beam energy dependence of the ratio of the total cross sections of these two reactions.

description: During 1950-90, the nonmetro civilian labor force declined except during the 1970’s. In the 1970’s, nonmetro manufacturing increased substantially, and the baby boom generation entered the labor force. By contrast, the retail/wholesale labor force increased in every decade except for the 1980’s. Several factors could have contributed to the decline in the retail/wholesale labor force, including population decline and the effects of large retail establishments.

Year: 2013

description: CLOSER (Cohorts and Longitudinal Studies Enhancement Resources) is a five-year program which aims to maximize the use, value and impact of these studies both within the UK and abroad. The program is run by a network of nine of the UK's leading studies (8 cohorts and one panel study), with participants born between 1911 and 2007. A major strand will be documenting these surveys and data (over 250 survey instruments and around 250,000 data variables) in DDI-L. The surveys cover a wide range of survey collection methods, paper questionnaires to CAI, biomedical and administrative linked data. The presentation will cover the workflow and systems used to capture paper questionnaires, archived documents, available DDI 2.0 and other electronic metadata from the survey and metdata captured from data into DDI-L. This includes an in-house application for questionnaire capture, written in Ruby on Rails, Python-based data quality tools to interface with SPSS and Colectica for overall data management and its co-ordination across the 8 studies. The presentation will also highlight how some recent changes to the DDI specification will assist in the management of these projects.

The current is established in a one-dimensional discrete inhomogeneous "tight-binding model". By making use of a symmetry analysis we predict the right choice of f(t) and obtain the directed current as a difference between electron transmission coefficients in opposite directions, $ΔT = T^{LR}-T^{RL}$. Numerical simulations confirm the predictions of the symmetry analysis and moreover, show that the directed current can be drastically increased by a proper choice of frequency and amplitudes of the ac field f(t).

description: We present the construction of a new white-light coronal brightness index (CBI) from the entire archive of observations recorded by the Large Angle Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) C2 camera between 1996 and 2017, comprising two full solar cycles. We reduce all fully calibrated daily C2 observations of the white light corona into a single daily coronal brightness observation for every day of observation recorded by the instrument, with mean daily brightness values binned into 0.1 Rsun radial x 1 degree angular regions from 2.4 -- 6.2 Rsun for a full 360-degrees. As a demonstration of the utility of the CBI, we construct a new solar irradiance proxy that correlates well with a variety of direct solar irradiance observations, with correlations shown to be in the range of 0.77-0.89. We also present a correlation mapping technique to show how irradiance correlations depend on, and relate to, coronal structure/locations, and to demonstrate how the LASCO CBI can be used to perform long-term "spatial correlation" studies to investigate relationships between the solar corona and any arbitrary concurrent geophysical index. Using this technique we find possible relationships between coronal brightness and plasma temperature, interplanetary magnetic field magnitude and (very weakly) proton density.

description: Many real-world monitoring and surveillance applications require non-trivial anomaly detection to be run in the streaming model. We consider an incremental-learning approach, wherein a deep-autoencoding (DAE) model of what is normal is trained and used to detect anomalies at the same time. In the detection of anomalies, we utilise a novel thresholding mechanism, based on value at risk (VaR). We compare the resulting convolutional neural network (CNN) against a number of subspace methods, and present results on changedetection net.

description: Weakly supervised video anomaly detection (WS-VAD) is a crucial area in computer vision for developing intelligent surveillance systems. This system uses three feature streams: RGB video, optical flow, and audio signals, where each stream extracts complementary spatial and temporal features using an enhanced attention module to improve detection accuracy and robustness. In the first stream, we employed an attention-based, multi-stage feature enhancement approach to improve spatial and temporal features from the RGB video where the first stage consists of a ViT-based CLIP module, with top-k features concatenated in parallel with I3D and Temporal Contextual Aggregation (TCA) based rich spatiotemporal features. The second stage effectively captures temporal dependencies using the Uncertainty-Regulated Dual Memory Units (UR-DMU) model, which learns representations of normal and abnormal data simultaneously, and the third stage is employed to select the most relevant spatiotemporal features. The second stream extracted enhanced attention-based spatiotemporal features from the flow data modality-based feature by taking advantage of the integration of the deep learning and attention module. The audio stream captures auditory cues using an attention module integrated with the VGGish model, aiming to detect anomalies based on sound patterns. These streams enrich the model by incorporating motion and audio signals often indicative of abnormal events undetectable through visual analysis alone. The concatenation of the multimodal fusion leverages the strengths of each modality, resulting in a comprehensive feature set that significantly improves anomaly detection accuracy and robustness across three datasets. The extensive experiment and high performance with the three benchmark datasets proved the effectiveness of the proposed system over the existing state-of-the-art system.

description: The rapid economic development (ED) of the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) has had a significant negative impact on regional ecosystem services (ES). Accurately understanding and properly handling the relationship between ES and ED is critical to achieving coordinated regional development of the YREB. Restricted by a minimal number of research units, traditional studies have not fully considered the spatial heterogeneity of the influencing factors, leading to results with poor accuracy and applicability. To address these problems, this paper introduces a spatial econometric model to explore the impact of influencing factors on the level of coordinated development in the YREB. For the 1013 counties in the YREB, we used the value equivalent method, the entropy weight method, and the coupling coordination model to quantify the coupling coordination relationship between the ecosystem services value (ESV) and ED from 2010 to 2020. The multi-scale geographically weighted regression model (MGWR) was adopted to analyze the role of influencing factors. The results showed the following: (1) The coupling coordination degree (CCD) of ESV and ED along the YREB demonstrated significant spatial heterogeneity, with Sichuan and Anhui provinces forming a low-value lag. The average CCD from high to low were found in the Triangle of Central China (TOCC), the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration (YRDUA), and the Chengdu–Chongqing urban agglomeration (CCUA). (2) There was spatial autocorrelation in the distribution of CCD, with high–high clustering mainly distributed in Hunan, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang provinces. The counties with high–high clustering were expanding, mainly centering on Kunming City in Yunnan Province and expanding outward. (3) There was significant spatial heterogeneity in the impact of each influencing factor on CCD. Per capita fiscal expenditure was sensitive to low–low clustering areas of CCD; per capita, food production was a negative influence, and the rate of urbanization transitioned from negative to positive values from west to east.

Tiamat

description: Tiamat gen. nov.
Etymology: ‘ Tiamat ’ is a goddess from Sumerian and Babylonian mythologies, often described as a dragon or a great serpent. Tiamat is also identified as the mother of dragons (and other mythical creatures) and of all gods, alluding to the basal positioning of this new species into the group to which belong the largest animals that have ever walked on earth.
Diagnosis: The same as for the species.

description: In this work we derive the performance achievable by a network of distributed agents that solve, adaptively and in the presence of communication constraints, a regression problem. Agents employ the recently proposed ACTC (adapt-compress-then-combine) diffusion strategy, where the signals exchanged locally by neighboring agents are encoded with randomized differential compression operators. We provide a detailed characterization of the mean-square estimation error, which is shown to comprise a term related to the error that agents would achieve without communication constraints, plus a term arising from compression. The analysis reveals quantitative relationships between the compression loss and fundamental attributes of the distributed regression problem, in particular, the stochastic approximation error caused by the gradient noise and the network topology (through the Perron eigenvector). We show that knowledge of such relationships is critical to allocate optimally the communication resources across the agents, taking into account their individual attributes, such as the quality of their data or their degree of centrality in the network topology. We devise an optimized allocation strategy where the parameters necessary for the optimization can be learned online by the agents. Illustrative examples show that a significant performance improvement, as compared to a blind (i.e., uniform) resource allocation, can be achieved by optimizing the allocation by means of the provided mean-square-error formulas.

description: The Great Plains receives more Federal funds, per capita, than the country as a whole. Most of its funding is in the form of direct payments to individuals, such as retirement and disability, and in salaries, wages, and procurement. But, compared with the Nation as a whole, the region gets relatively more funding from other types of assistance, such as agricultural and natural resource payments, defense and space, and community resource programs. Program changes would affect some places more than others, depending on local demographic and economic characteristics. For example, defense procurement increases would likely benefit the region’s metro areas more than nonmetro areas; welfare reform is likely to affect persistent-poverty counties more than other counties.

description: Purpose: In this study, the recently emerged advances in Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) are investigated and employed, for achieving the automatic and non-invasive diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Methods: A Computer-Aided Diagnostic model for the acceptable and non-invasive prediction of CAD using the State Space Advanced FCM (AFCM) approach is proposed. Also, a rule-based mechanism is incorporated, to further increase the knowledge of the system and the interpretability of the decision mechanism. The proposed method is tested utilizing a CAD dataset from the Laboratory of Nuclear Medicine of the University of Patras. More specifically, two architectures of AFCMs are designed, and different parameter testing is performed. Furthermore, the proposed AFCMs, which are based on the new equations proposed recently, are compared with the traditional FCM approach. Results: The experiments highlight the effectiveness of the AFCM approach and the new equations over the traditional approach, which obtained an accuracy of 78.21%, achieving an increase of seven percent (+7%) on the classification task, and obtaining 85.47% accuracy. Conclusions: It is demonstrated that the AFCM approach in developing Fuzzy Cognitive Maps outperforms the conventional approach, while it constitutes a reliable method for the diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease. Conclusions and future research related to recent pandemic of coronavirus are provided.

description: 3.65 Å-phase (or hydroxide-perovskite), MgSi(OH)6, is a representative of dense hydrous magnesium silicates (DHMS) with maximum water content (up to ∼35 wt.% H2O) and thus is of interest as one of the largest repositories of water among all the known hydrous phases. Sample of 3.65 Å-phase, grown in DIA-type multianvil apparatus, was studied by Raman spectroscopy under pressure up to ∼7 GPa with diamond anvil cell. Interpretation of the Raman spectrum was carried out using lattice-dynamical simulations within ab initio DFT method (CASTEP code). Additionally, OH-stretching bands are analyzed with two phenomenological models: empirical model by Novak and Libowitzky, using correlation between O–O distance and the wavenumber of the OH-stretching band, and theoretical model, using double Morse potentials of hydrogen bond O–H···O. Upon the pressure increase, octahedral and bending δ(ОН) vibrations exhibit linear positive pressure shift, whereas wavenumbers of the ОН-stretching modes show inverse pressure dependence.

description: Producer service firms are growing rapidly in rural areas. Included in this expansion are “Lone Eagles”—export-oriented sole proprietors—and “High Fliers”—export-oriented companies with at least one employee. Interviews with 240 rural producer service firms located in a diverse sample of rural counties show that about 40 percent of the businesses are Lone Eagles or High Fliers. They are located in rural areas for quality-of-life reasons and are founded by highly educated people who have “niche” market business concepts that pay off in relatively high sales per worker. Face-to-face communication remains a very important means of delivering their services, but advanced information technologies are also important.
