description: Person re-identification (ReID) is a challenging crosscamera retrieval task to identify pedestrians. Many complex network structures are proposed recently and many of them concentrate on multi-branch features to achieve high performance. However, they are too heavy-weight to deploy in realworld applications. Additionally, pedestrian images are often captured by different surveillance cameras, so the varied lights, perspectives and resolutions result in inevitable multi-camera domain gaps for ReID. To address these issues, this paper proposes ATCN, a simple but effective angular triplet loss-based camera network, which is able to achieve compelling performance with only global features. In ATCN, a novel angular distance is introduced to learn a more discriminative feature representation in the embedding space. Meanwhile, a lightweight camera network is designed to transfer global features to more discriminative features. ATCN is designed to be simple and flexible so it can be easily deployed in practice. The experiment results on various benchmark datasets show that ATCN outperforms many SOTA approaches.

description: We discuss physical properties and baryonic content of broad Ly alpha absorbers (BLAs) at low redshift. These absorption systems, recently discovered in high-resolution, high-signal to noise quasar absorption line spectra, possibly trace the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) in the temperature range between 10^5 and 10^6 K. To extend previous BLA measurements we have analyzed STIS data of the two quasars H 1821+643 and PG 0953+415 and have identified 13 BLA candidates along a total (unblocked) redshift path of dz=0.440. Combining our measurements with previous results for the lines of sight toward PG 1259+593 and PG 1116+215, the resulting new BLA sample consists of 20 reliably detected systems as well as 29 additional tentative cases, implying a BLA number density of dN/dz=22-53. We estimate that the contribution of BLAs to the baryon density at z=0 is Omega_b(BLA)>0.0027 h_70^-1 for absorbers with log (N/b)>11.3. This number indicates that WHIM broad Ly alpha absorbers contain a substantial fraction of the baryons in the local Universe. (Abridged abstract)

description: We present the integrated 411 ks {\it Chandra} ACIS-S exposure of the Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/39). Besides a rich population of point-like sources, this spectacular image reveals a spatially and spectrally complex hot diffuse gaseous component. For the first time we detect intense line emission from Fe, Ne, Mg and Si in The Antennae, and obtain a detailed picture of spatially varied metal abundances in the hot interstellar medium (ISM) of a galaxy. In certain regions, the abundances of $α$-elements may be many times solar, while the Fe abundance is sub-solar or near-solar. The differences in the local metal enrichment of the hot ISM may be related to the local star formation rates and to the degree of confinement of the enriched hot ISM. We also report large-scale gaseous features, including two gigantic, $\sim$10-kpc-scale `loops' extending to the South of the merging disks, and a low-surface-brightness hot halo, extending out to $\sim$18 kpc. These features may be related to superwinds from the starburst in The Antennae or result from the merger hydrodynamics. Their long cooling times suggest that they may persist to form the hot X-ray halo of the emerging elliptical galaxy.

 Remarks. Kessleria lativalva was described from a male holotype and superficially compared with several congeneric species. The nearest neighbour in BOLD is Kessleria petrobiella (Zeller, 1868) with ca. 7% distance. Taking into account the almost complete sequencing of the European Kessleria, a separate species status appears to be correct (Huemer 2018).

description: After decades of research, sonification is still rarely adopted in consumer electronics, software and user interfaces. Outside the science and arts scenes the term sonification seems not well known to the public. As a means of science communication, and in order to make software developers, producers of consumer electronics and end users aware of sonification, we developed, distributed, and promoted Tiltification. This smartphone app utilizes sonification to inform users about the tilt angle of their phone, so that they can use it as a torpedo level. In this paper we report on our app development, distribution and promotion strategies and reflect on their success in making the app in particular, and sonification in general, better known to the public. Finally, we give recommendations on how to develop, distribute and market sonification apps. This article is dedicated to research institutions without commercial interests.

description: Wavelength-dependent pump-probe spectroscopy of micelle-suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes reveals two-component dynamics. The slow component (5-20 ps), which has not been observed previously, is resonantly enhanced whenever the pump photon energy coincides with an absorption peak and we attribute it to interband carrier recombination, whereas we interpret the always-present fast component (0.3-1.2 ps) as intraband carrier relaxation in non-resonantly excited nanotubes. The slow component decreases drastically with decreasing pH (or increasing H$^+$ doping), especially in large-diameter tubes. This can be explained as a consequence of the disappearance of absorption peaks at high doping due to the entrance of the Fermi energy into the valence band, i.e., a 1-D manifestation of the Burstein-Moss effect.

description: Relay synchronization in complex networks is characterized by the synchronization of remote parts of the network due to their interaction via a relay. In multilayer networks, distant layers that are not connected directly can synchronize due to signal propagation via relay layers. In this work, we investigate relay synchronization of partial synchronization patterns like chimera states in three-layer networks of interacting FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators. We demonstrate that the phenomenon of relay synchronization is robust to topological random inhomogeneities of small-world type in the layer networks. We show that including randomness in the connectivity structure either of the remote network layers, or of the relay layer, increases the range of interlayer coupling strength where relay synchronization can be observed.

Kahoui has shown that if $R$ is a polynomial ring over $\mathbb{C}$, $A$ an $\mathbb{A}^3$-fibration over $R$, and $W$ a residual variable of $A$ then $A$ is stably polynomial over $R[W]$. In this article we show that the above result holds over any Noetherian domain $R$ provided the module of differentials $Ω_R(A)$ of the affine fibration $A$ (which is necessarily a projective $A$-module by a theorem of Asanuma) is a stably free $A$-module.

description: A cosmology is considered driven by a stress-energy tensor consisting of a perfect fluid, an inhomogeneous pressure term (which we call a ``tachyonic dust'' for reasons which will become apparent) and a cosmological constant. The inflationary, radiation dominated and matter dominated eras are investigated in detail. In all three eras, the tachyonic pressure decreases with increasing radius of the universe and is thus minimal in the matter dominated era. The gravitational effects of the dust, however, may still strongly affect the universe at present time. In case the tachyonic pressure is positive, it enhances the overall matter {\em density} and is a candidate for dark matter. In the case where the tachyonic pressure is negative, the recent acceleration of the universe can be understood without the need for a cosmological constant. The ordinary matter, however, has positive energy density at all times. In a later section, the extension to a variable cosmological term is investigated and a specific model is put forward such that recent acceleration and future re-collapse is possible.

description: This study were examined relationship between bank credits and investment growth of agricultural sector in Iran during the period of 1982-2011 by auto regressive distribution lag bounds test approach. Basically, the growth investing of the agricultural sector in Iran is related to oil revenues, bank credits, value added of agriculture sector and capital stock. The results confirm the existence of a long-run relationship between variables in model. In addition, according to the results, bank credit is the most significant variable in explaining the growth investing, so that increases access to it will encourage growth investment of the agricultural sector in Iran. The estimations show that elasticity of bank credits, oil revenues, stock investment and value added are 0.103, 0.015, 0.049 and -0.058 in the agricultural sector respectively.

Spreading of Accreted Material on White Dwarfs

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When a white dwarf (WD) is weakly magnetized and its accretion disk is thin, accreted material first reaches the WD's surface at its equator. This matter slows its orbit as it comes into co-rotation with the WD, dissipating kinetic energy into thermal energy and creating a hot band of freshly accreted material around the equator. Radiating in the extreme ultraviolet and soft X-rays, this material moves toward the pole as new material piles behind it, eventually becoming part of the WD once it has a temperature and rotational velocity comparable with the surface. We present a set of solutions which describe the properties of this ``spreading layer'' in the steady state limit based on the conservation equations derived by Inogamov & Sunyaev (1999) for accreting neutron stars. Our analysis and subsequent solutions show that the case of WDs is qualitatively different. We investigate example solutions of the spreading layer for a WD of mass $M=0.6M_\odot$ and radius $R=9\times10^{8}{\rm cm}$. These solutions show that the spreading layer typically extends to an angle of $θ_{\rm SL}\approx0.01-0.1$ (with respect to the equator), depending on accretion rate and the magnitude of the viscosity. At low accretion rates, $\dot{M}\lesssim10^{18}{\rm g s}^{-1}$, the amount of spreading is negligible and most of the dissipated energy is radiated back into the accretion disk. When the accretion rate is high, such as in dwarf novae, symbiotic binaries, and supersoft sources, the material may spread to latitudes high enough to be directly visible above the accretion disk.

description: Sustainability concept in agriculture is becoming widespread throughout industries in many fields even in crop production, livestock production and etc. Sustainable in agriculture is believed can give present and future good benefit to the farmers and society. However, in dairy sector in Malaysia, the sustainability concepts and practices seems not fully aware by the farmers which result in low self- sufficiency level in milk production. The self-sufficiency level in Malaysia is merely 6% and this lead to the urgency of importing more milk from other countries such as Australia, Holland and others. This study attempts to describe the descriptive thoughts on sustainability among Malaysian dairy farmers as well as describing the socio economic characteristics of the dairy farmers which will be the indicator of adoption of sustainability practices among dairy farmers. The preliminary data was collected using questionnaires through conducting face to face interviews with 50 dairy farmers from Johor. The Likert- type scale was employed to determine the practices that adopted by the dairy farmers. The gathered data was analysed using SPSS. The findings indicated that the dairy farmers had a higher understanding about the farm sustainability aspect which gives the highest mean score of 4.41. The second highest mean score is the ecological aspect which is about 4.13. The mean score for economic aspect shows the mean score about 4.00. The social aspect of sustainability revealed the lowest mean score which was about 3.46. The results indicated that the farmers favour sustainable practice is farm sustainability system. Sustainability in dairy farming sector in Malaysia can be achieved if the three elements of sustainability which is environmental, economic and social aspect were implemented and adopted in this sector.

The study was done using Simple Limitation Method (SLM), Limitation Method regarding Number and Intensity (LMNI) and Parametric Methods (PM) such as the square root and the Storie methods. The results from different methods indicated that the most important limiting factors are Organic Matter (OM), salinity and sodicity and calcium carbonates, either alone or in combination. Evaluation indicated that the (SLM) and (LMNI) mainly show similar suitability classes, but Parametric methods especially square root method which it's results revealed to be more realistic show different suitability classes in many cases. According to the square root method, the area can be recommended as marginally suitable for cultivation of tomato and potato and expected to yield about 40-65% of optimal production.

description: In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for semilinear $σ$-evolution models with an exponential decay memory term. Concerning the corresponding linear Cauchy problem, we derive some regularity-loss-type estimates of solutions and generalized diffusion phenomena. Particularly, the obtained estimations for solutions are sharper than those in the previous paper [20]. Then, we determine the critical exponents for the semilinear Cauchy problem with power nonlinearity in some spatial dimensions by proving global (in time) existence of Sobolev solutions with low regularity of fractional orders and blow-up result for the Sobolev solutions even for any fractional value of $σ\geqslant 1$.

description: Ambient interstellar material may become entrained in outflows from massive stars as a result of shear flow instabilities. We study the linear theory of the Kelvin - Helmholtz instability, the simplest example of shear flow instability, in a partially ionized medium. We model the interaction as a two fluid system (charged and neutral) in a planar geometry. Our principal result is that for much of the relevant parameter space, neutrals and ions are sufficiently decoupled that the neutrals are unstable while the ions are held in place by the magnetic field. Thus, we predict that there should be a detectably narrower line profile in ionized species tracing the outflow compared with neutral species since ionized species are not participating in the turbulent interface with the ambient ISM. Since the magnetic field is frozen to the plasma, it is not tangled by the turbulence in the boundary layer.

description: This study considered the production economics of coffee in Pakuwa village development committee of Parbat district, Nepal. Household Survey was done in June 2014. Data collection was done using semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire administered on 40 coffee producers selected randomly. Gross margin analysis, profitability index and the benefit-cost ratio was used to analyze the production economics of coffee in the study area. The results revealed coffee cultivation as a profitable enterprise in the study area. This is reflected by the gross margin of NRs. 90205.43 per hectare, benefit-cost ratio of 3.84 and profitability index of 1.23. Coffee sector alone contributed 16.26 percent of total household income showing positive sign for commercialization. The number of productive plants and cost on sapling were the most significant factor affecting coffee production. While keeping other explanatory variables constant, production function analysis resulted one percent change in number of productive plants and cost of sapling would increase the yield of coffee by 0.894 and 0.151 percent respectively. Further, increasing return to scale was observed in coffee production with value 1.26. Farmers explained more income from coffee and easy to sell as the major reasons of its cultivation. Lack of irrigation and lack of detailed knowledge about improved coffee production technology were ranked as production constraints whereas; low price and lack of processing facility stood as marketing constraints of coffee in the study area. Study resulted positive economic significance of coffee and this shows immense need of Government, NGOs, traders, and other line agencies to lay efforts on production and marketing management such that its quality production and household income can be raised.

description: Vitamin K is vital for normal blood coagulation, and may influence bone, neurological and vascular health. Data on the vitamin K content of Australian foods are limited, preventing estimation of vitamin K intakes in the Australian population. We measured phylloquinone (PK) and menaquinone (MK) -4 to -10 in cheese, yoghurt and meat products (48 composite samples from 288 primary samples) by liquid chromatography with electrospray ionisation-tandem mass spectrometry. At least one K vitamer was found in every sample. The greatest mean concentrations of PK, MK-4 and MK-9 were found in lamb liver, chicken leg meat and Cheddar cheese, respectively. Cheddar cheese and cream cheese contained MK-5. MK-8 was found in Cheddar cheese only. As the K vitamer profile and concentrations appear to vary considerably by geographical location, Australia needs a vitamin K food composition dataset that is representative of foods consumed in Australia.

At this angle the moiré states retain much of their isolated bilayer character, allowing their bilayer projections to be separately controlled by gates. We use this property to generate an energetic overlap between narrow isolated electron and hole bands with good nesting properties. Our measurements reveal the formation of ordered states with reconstructed Fermi surfaces, consistent with density-wave states, for equal electron and hole densities. These states can be tuned without introducing chemical dopants, thus opening the door to a new class of fundamental studies of density-waves and their interplay with superconductivity and other types of order, a central issue in quantum matter physics.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: This study determines the way in which change in the size of solvent soybean oil mills under typical operating conditions is related to corresponding change in total cost and total revenue per bushel of beans processed. The study then compares the efficiencies of different-size mills as measured by net revenue per bushel of beans and per dollar of investment. The net returns per dollar of investment are then used in determining to what extent, if any, farmers might be benefited, in the form of higher prices for their soybeans, from industrywide changes in the sizes of soybean oil mills. The study also seeks to determine the approximate point in the range of mill sizes at which solvent mills come to earn more net revenue per bushel of beans and per dollar of investment than screw-press mills. A subsidiary objective of the study was to determine the approximate point in the range of mill sizes at which solvent mills come to gain a competitive advantage over screw-press mills.

description: In ferromagnetic trilayers, a spin-orbit-induced spin current can have a spin polarization of which direction is deviated from that for the spin Hall effect. Recently, magnetization switching in ferromagnetic trilayers has been proposed and confirmed by the experiments. In this work, we theoretically and numerically investigate the switching current required for perpendicular magnetization switching in ferromagnetic trilayers. We confirm that the tilted spin polarization enables field-free deterministic switching at a lower current than conventional spin-orbit torque or spin-transfer torque switching, offering a possibility for high-density and low-power spin-orbit torque devices. Moreover, we provide analytical expressions of the switching current for an arbitrary spin polarization direction, which will be useful to design spin-orbit torque devices and to interpret spin-orbit torque switching experiments.

description: Quantum annealing has been actively researched since D-Wave Systems produced the first commercial machine in 2011. Controlling a large fleet of automated guided vehicles is one of the real-world applications utilizing quantum annealing. In this study, we propose a formulation to control the traveling routes to minimize the travel time. We validate our formulation through simulation in a virtual plant and authenticate the effectiveness for faster distribution compared to a greedy algorithm that does not consider the overall detour distance. Furthermore, we utilize reverse annealing to maximize the advantage of the D-Wave's quantum annealer. Starting from relatively good solutions obtained by a fast greedy algorithm, reverse annealing searches for better solutions around them. Our reverse annealing method improves the performance compared to standard quantum annealing alone and performs up to 10 times faster than the strong classical solver, Gurobi. This study extends a use of optimization with general problem solvers in the application of multi-AGV systems and reveals the potential of reverse annealing as an optimizer.

On the Octonionic M-algebra and Superconformal M-algebra

description: It is shown that the $M$-algebra related with the $M$ theory comes in two variants. Besides the standard $M$ algebra based on the real structure, an alternative octonionic formulation can be consistently introduced. This second variant has striking features. It involves only 52 real bosonic generators instead of 528 of the standard $M$ algebra and moreover presents a novel and surprising feature, its octonionic $M5$ (super-5-brane) sector is no longer independent, but coincides with the octonionic $M1$ and $M2$ sectors. This is in consequence of the non-associativity of the octonions. An octonionic version of the superconformal $M$-algebra also exists. It is given by $OSp(1,8|{\bf O})$ and admits 239 bosonic and 64 fermionic generators. It is speculated that the octonionic $M$-algebra can be related to the exceptional Lie and Jordan algebras that apparently play a special role in the Theory Of Everything.

title: The globalisation of non-governmental organisations: drivers and stages
Creators: name: Baguley, John Maurice
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: Commercial companies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are internationalising at an increasing pace. Yet little is known about the management of NGOs during this process. Indeed, they have been neglected by comparison to the literature on companies. This thesis draws on theories of how and why companies internationalise to determine whether the explanations they offer can be extended to cover NGOs. It considers the driving forces experienced by NGOs, the stages they pass through. This was undertaken through a postal survey using results from 52 international NGOs from Europe and the US. The findings were later considered in relation to four case studies of NGOs; two relatively small NGOs, which have internationalised slowly, and two larger and faster NGOs, to give practical examples and a wider insight into internationalisation. The results indicate that for driving force theories to be applicable to NGOs they need to take into account NGOs strong internal motivation to meet "needs", the varying influence of drivers on different NGOs and the separate roles drivers play for NGOs. For stage theories the results suggest that there are similarities and differences with companies, and that Federations may follow a parallel route to other NGOs. The results also suggest that NGO managers should pay critical attention to the range of driving forces, both internal and external, that apply to their organisation. Managers should also be prepared for problems with their overseas branches before they reach the stage of being "truly global"; NGOs, however, may be better suited to that stage than many companies.

description: Nowadays, there is an agreement among organizations that reinforcing of education leads to the improvement of organizational performance. The emphasis on the human capital in organizations reflects the view that market values depend less on tangible resources, but more on intangible ones, particularly human resources. The main purpose of this study was to design a model for faculty members in public Agricultural Higher Education in Iran. A survey method was used to collect data from nine Public Agricultural Faculties in Iran. Samples were collected from faculty members using a simple random sampling method (n=284) and a questionnaire was used as the main research instrument to collect data. Reliability and validity were calculated using Structural Equation Modeling through LISREL software, version 8.54 (above 0.7). Finally, a model was developed and tested for faculty members in Agricultural Higher Education System in Iran. The findings showed that contextual variables (i.e. personal, organizational, social, educational, and professional development) had direct impacts on the process of Human Resource Development (HRD). Furthermore, personal and organizational development had direct and indirect impacts on HRD (R 2 = 0.70).

description: Improving production efficiency is the main objective of government action to avoid efficiency losses and to increase the income of farmers. The aim of this study was to analyze performance levels of farms in the irrigated perimeter of Tadla in Morocco, according to the source of irrigation water. Thus, technical, allocative and economic efficiency were analyzed for farms in this area. To estimate the efficiency indices, the approach adopted is based on Data Envelopment Analysis method. Sixty samples of farms were chosen according to the mode of access to irrigation water. The results showed significant variability in technical, allocative and economic efficiency be- tween the observed farms. The source of irrigation water is an important determinant of farm performance in the Tadla region. Thus, the average of economic efficiency varies between 45% and 83% according to the source of irrigation water. In terms of water valuation, farms that use only groundwater achieve a better value of irrigation water (2.19 MAD 1 /m 3 ) in comparison with those that combine between surface and groundwater and those which are limited to the use of surface water.

description: Solar S-bursts are short duration ($<1$ s at decameter wavelengths) radio bursts that have been observed during periods of moderate solar activity, where S stands for short. The frequency drift of S-bursts can reflect the density variation and the motion state of the electron beams. In this work, we investigate the frequency drift and the fine structure of the S-bursts with the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR). We find that the average frequency drift rate of the S-bursts within 110-180MHz could be described by $df/dt=-0.0077f^{1.59}$. With the high time and frequency resolution of LOFAR, we can resolve the fine structures of the observed solar S-bursts. A fine drift variation pattern was found in the structure of S-bursts (referred to as solar Sb-bursts in this paper) during the type-III storm on 2019 April 13, in the frequency band of 120-240 MHz. The Sb-bursts have a quasi-periodic segmented pattern, and the relative flux intensity tends to be large when the frequency drift rate is relatively large. This kind of structure exists in about 20\% of the solar S-burst events within the observed frequency range. We propose that the fine structure is due to the density fluctuations of the background coronal density. We performed a simulation based on this theory which can reproduce the shape and relative flux intensity of the Sb-bursts. This work shows that the fine structure of solar radio bursts can be used to diagnose the coronal plasma.

description: This paper aimed to evaluate Water Use Efficiency (WUE) indices for crops and horticulture productions. In doing so, after gathering data from 164 farmers, we investigated water withdrawal cost indices and monetary return per cubic meter of water through two econometric and managerial approaches. Besides, water shadow pricesand dry matters of per cub meter of water were calculated. The results revealed that the average monetary return per cubic metre of water is 3875.4 IRR 1 (0.134 USD) and cost per cubic metre of well water equals 839.3 IRR (0.029 USD), four times more than the value of some current development projects of water resources. Finally, according to the findings, we suggested a corrected price trade term to adjust water monetary return indices. Control policies and government participation in funding of artificial recharge of undergorund aquifers projects were recommended as well.
