description: Cylindrical implosions driven by intense heavy ions beams should be instrumental in a near future to study High Energy Density Matter. By rotating the beam by means of a high frequency wobbler, it should be possible to deposit energy in the outer layers of a cylinder, compressing the material deposited in its core. The beam temporal profile should however generate an inevitable irradiation asymmetry likely to feed the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) during the implosion phase. In this paper, we compute the Fourier components of the target irradiation in order to make the junction with previous works on RTI performed in this setting. Implementing a 1D and 2D beam models, we find these components can be expressed exactly in terms of the Fourier transform of the temporal beam profile. If $T$ is the beam duration and $Ω$ its rotation frequency, "magic products" $ΩT$ can be identified which cancel the first harmonic of the deposited density, resulting in an improved irradiation symmetry.

description: The extreme, intra-hour and > 10% rms flux density scintillation observed in AGNs such as PKS 0405-385, J1819+3845 and PKS 1257-326 at cm wavelengths has been attributed to scattering in highly turbulent, nearby regions in the interstellar medium. Such behavior has been found to be rare. We searched for rapid scintillators among 128 flat spectrum AGNs and analyzed their properties to determine the origin of such rapid and large amplitude radio scintillation. The sources were observed at the VLA at 4.9 and 8.4 GHz simultaneously at two hour intervals over 11 days. We detected six rapid scintillators with characteristic time-scales of < 2 hours, none of which have rms variations > 10%. We found strong lines of evidence linking rapid scintillation to the presence of nearby scattering regions, estimated to be < 12 pc away for ~ 200 muas sources and < 250 pc away for ~ 10 muas sources. We attribute the scarcity of rapid and large amplitude scintillators to the requirement of additional constraints, including large source compact fractions. J1819+3845 was found to display ~ 2% rms variations at ~ 6 hour time-scales superposed on longer > 11 day variations, suggesting that the highly turbulent cloud responsible for its extreme scintillation has moved away, with its scintillation now caused by a more distant screen ~ 50 to 150 pc away.

description: Stark broadening theory is currently operated for calculating widths and shifts of spectral lines that are needed for spectroscopic diagnostics and modelling in astrophysics, laboratory and technological plasmas. We have calculated a great number of data, obtained through the impact semi- classical perturbation theory: tables have been published for neutral atom and ion emitters, and typical temperatures, electron and ion densities. They are currently implemented in the STARK-B database which participates to the European effort within the VAMDC (Virtual Atomic and Molecular data Centre). Despite of that, a great number of data are still missing and their orders of magnitude would at least be welcome. In the present paper, we will revisit and compare the orders of magnitudes and trends of the impact Stark widths and shifts, by considering their semiclassical perturbation expressions. We will also provide fitting formulae which are essential for the modelling codes of stellar atmospheres and envelope

description: The structure of the light-induced metastable state SII of Na2[Fe(CN)5NO]$\cdot$2H2O 14 was investigated by transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy (TMS) in the temperature range 15 between 85 and 135 K, nuclear inelastic scattering (NIS) at 98 K using synchrotron 16 radiation and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The DFT and TMS results 17 strongly support the view that the NO group in SII takes a side-on molecular orientation 18 and, further, is dynamically displaced from one eclipsed, via a staggered, to a second 19 eclipsed orientation. The population conditions for generating SII are optimal for 20 measurements by TMS, yet they are modest for accumulating NIS spectra. Optimization 21 of population conditions for NIS measurements is discussed and new NIS experiments on 22 SII are proposed.

description: In this paper, we introduce a new practical and general method for solving the main problem of designing the capacity approaching, optimal rate, irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) code ensemble over binary erasure channel (BEC). Compared to some new researches, which are based on application of asymptotic analysis tools out of optimization process, the proposed method is much simpler, faster, accurate and practical. Because of not using any relaxation or any approximate solution like previous works, the found answer with this method is optimal. We can construct optimal variable node degree distribution for any given binary erasure rate, ε, and any check node degree distribution. The presented method is implemented and works well in practice. The time complexity of this method is of polynomial order. As a result, we obtain some degree distribution which their rates are close to the capacity.

description: Shape is an important aspects in recognizing plants. Several approaches have been introduced to identify objects, including plants. Combination of geometric features such as aspect ratio, compactness, and dispersion, or moments such as moment invariants were usually used toidentify plants. In this research, a comparative experiment of 4 methods to identify plants using shape features was accomplished. Two approaches have never been used in plants identification yet, Zernike moments and Polar Fourier Transform (PFT), were incorporated. The experimental comparison was done on 52 kinds of plants with various shapes. The result, PFT gave best performance with 64% in accuracy and outperformed the other methods.

description: Variability is a characteristic feature of young stellar objects (YSOs) and could contribute to the large scatter observed in HR diagrams for star forming regions. For typical YSOs, however, the long-term effects of variability are poorly constrained. Here I use archived near-infrared photometry from 2MASS, UKIDSS, and DENIS to investigate the long-term variability of high-confidence members of the four star forming regions Rho-Oph, ONC, IC348, and NGC1333. The total sample comprises more than 600 objects, from which ~320 are considered to have a disk. The dataset covers timescales up to 8 yr. About half of the YSOs are variable on a 2sigma level, with median amplitudes of 5-20%. The fraction of highly variable objects with amplitudes >0.5 mag in at least two near-infrared bands is very low - 2% for the entire sample and 3% for objects with disks. These sources with strong variability are mostly objects with disks and are prime targets for follow-up studies. The variability amplitudes are largest in NGC1333, presumably because it is the youngest sample of YSOs. The frequency of highly variable objects also increases with the time window of the observations (from weeks to years). These results have three implications: 1) When deriving luminosities for YSOs from near-infrared magnitudes, the typical error introduced by variability is in the range of 5-20% percent and depends on disk fraction and possibly age. 2) Variability is a negligible contribution to the scatter in HR diagrams of star forming regions (except for a small number of extreme objects), if luminosities are derived from near-infrared magnitudes. 3) Accretion outbursts with an increase in mass accretion rate by several order of magnitudes, as required in scenarios for episodic accretion, occur with a duty cycle of >2000-2500 yr in the Class II phase.

On the centralizer of an $I$-matrix in $M_2(R/I)$, $I$ a principal ideal and $R$ a UFD

description: The concept of an $I$-matrix in the full $2\times 2$ matrix ring $M_2(R/I)$, where $R$ is an arbitrary UFD and $I$ is a nonzero ideal in $R$, was introduced in \cite{mar}. Moreover a concrete description of the centralizer of an $I$-matrix $\hat B$ in $M_2(R/I)$ as the sum of two subrings $\mathcal S_1$ and $\mathcal S_2$ of $M_2(R/I)$ was also given, where $\mathcal S_1$ is the image (under the natural epimorphism from $M_2(R)$ to $M_2(R/I)$) of the centralizer in $M_2(R)$ of a pre-image of $\hat B$, and where the entries in $\mathcal S_2$ are intersections of certain annihilators of elements arising from the entries of $\hat B$. In the present paper, we obtain results for the case when $I$ is a principal ideal $$, $k\in R$ a nonzero nonunit. Mainly we solve two problems. Firstly we find necessary and sufficient conditions for when $\mathcal S_1\subseteq\mathcal S_2$, for when $\mathcal S_2\subseteq \mathcal S_1$ and for when $\mathcal S_1=\mathcal S_2$. Secondly we provide a formula for the number of elements in the centralizer of $\hat B$ for the case when $R/$ is finite.

Asymptotic behavior of structures made of curved rods

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of a structure made of curved rods of thickness 2δwhen δrightarrow 0. This study is carried on within the frame of linear elasticity by using the unfolding method. It is based on several decompositions of the structure displacements and on the passing to the limit in fixed domains. We show that any displacement of a structure is the sum of an elementary rods-structure displacement (e.r.s.d.) concerning the rods cross sections and a residual one related to the deformation of the cross-section. The e.r.s.d. coincide with rigid body displacements in the junctions. Any e.r.s.d. is given by two functions belonging to H1 (S;R3) where S is the skeleton structure (i.e. the set of the rods middle lines). One of this function U is the skeleton displacement, the other R gives the cross-sections rotation. We show that U is the sum of an extensional displacement and an inextensional one. We establish a priori estimates and then we characterize the unfolded limits of the rods-structure displacements. Eventually we pass to the limit in the linearized elasticity system and using all results in [5], on the one hand we obtain a variational problem that is satisfied by the limit extensional displacement, and on the other hand, a variational problem coupling the limit of inextensional displacement and the limit of the rods torsion angles.

 To do this, it is necessary to know how the safety is provided and produced by the ATM system, before and after a change in the ATM system is deployed. FARO proposes a generic validation plan explaining how to evaluate the impact of new solutions on SAFETY and RESILIENCE (S&R) performance combining safety and resilience models outputs. The validation plan sets the basis for demonstration of usability that will be performed on preselected current and future concept use cases.

description: Besides the need of Stark broadening parameters for a number of problems in physics, and plasma technology, in hot star atmospheres the conditions exist where Stark widths are comparable and even larger than the thermal Doppler widths. Using the semiclassical perturbation method we investigated here the influence of collisions with charged particles for In III spectral lines. We determined a number of Stark broadening parameters important for the investigation of plasmas in the atmospheres of A-type stars and white dwarfs. Also, we have compared the obtained results with existing experimental data. The results will be included in the STARK-B database, the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Center and the Serbian Virtual Observatory.

description: Der vorliegende Überblick zum Thema Wissensmanagement (WM)ist aus sozialwissenschaftlicher Perspektive geschrieben. Gegliedert ist er in vier eigenständige Teile: Im ersten Teil wird der transdisziplinäre Charakter des Themas hervorgehoben und argumentiert, dass Sozial-, Betriebs- und Informationswissenschaften die konstituierenden Einzeldisziplinen für eine sinnvolle - betriebspraktische - Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema darstellen. Dies wird zunehmend von verschiedenen Autoren gesehen, wenn auch - bei der praktischen Umsetzung des Themas - nicht in vollem Umfang eingelöst. Grundlage dieses Teils war eine breite - nicht nur sozialwissenschaftliche - Recherche von konzeptueller Literatur, von Aktivitäten, wie sie im dritten Teil untersucht werden, und von Werkzeugentwicklungen aus dem Bereich der Wirtschaftsinformatik und teilweise aus dem Gebiet der Organisationsentwicklung. Im zweiten Teil werden die zentralen Positionen innerhalb der Sozialwissenschaften dargestellt; von der Allgemeinen Psychologie hin zur Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie. Von allen Teildisziplinen wird die zentrale Bedeutung des Wissensbegriffs hervorgehoben, sein transdisziplinärer Charakter jedoch noch nicht vollständig beachtet. Als Ergebnis dieses Teils - er resultiert aus einem breiten Literaturstudium - kann hervorgehoben werden, dass eher grundlagenorientierte (etwa zum Verhältnis von Wissen und Handeln) als praxisrelevante Fragestellungen (Wie kann handlungsrelevantes Wissen diagnostiziert werden?) dominieren. Der dritte Teil stellt die Beratungs- und die F&E-Aktivitäten sowie die Diskussion des Themas auf Tagungen und Kongressen dar. Auch dabei zeigt sich eine starke Hinwendung zum Thema, wobei integrative Konzepte nicht nur fehlen, sondern häufig bekannte Konzepte unter neuer Flagge segeln. Als Grundlage dienten sowohl „call for papers“, Proceeding-Bände, Projektauschreibungstexte, Internetadressen, etc. Der vierte Teil betrachtet die Ebene der Werkzeuge, speziell die informatischen Angebote. Wiederum gilt, dass das Etikett Wissensmanagement genutzt wird, um bekannte Konzepte weiter zu entwickeln oder anzupassen.

Many of these galaxies are found in pairs or associations and are powered by either nuclear activity or starformation (Sanders & Mirabel 1996). Our main goal is to understand the relative importance of starbursts and AGNs in interacting systems. Is the frequency of AGN and starbursts in these interacting galaxies related to their luminosities? What is the importance of the merger stage and the frequency of AGNs? We present our conclusions and diagnostic diagrams based in the observed near infrared lines and compare to studies based solely in optical data.

description: We study the best attainable measurement precision when a double-well trap with bosons inside acts as an interferometer to measure the energy difference of the atoms on the two sides of the trap. We introduce time independent perturbation theory as the main tool in both analytical arguments and numerical computations. Nonlinearity from atom-atom interactions will not indirectly allow the interferometer to beat the Heisenberg limit, but in many regimes of the operation the Heisenberg limit scaling of measurement precision is preserved in spite of added tunneling of the atoms and atom-atom interactions, often even with the optimal prefactor.

description: Der unternehmerische Innovationserfolg ist nur bedingt planbar. Sieht man einmal von zufälligen Erfolgen ab, erfordert das Hervorbringen von innovativen Produkten, Prozessen und Dienstleistungen im Allgemeinen ein funktionierendes Innovationsmanagement. Dies gilt für Unternehmen jeder Größe. Mit der Hilfe von Innovationsaudits können Defizite im betrieblichen Innovationsmanagement eruiert und darauf abzielende Verbesserungsmaßnahmen ausgearbeitet und umgesetzt werden. Innovationsaudits leisten somit einerseits einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Beurteilung der Innovationsfähigkeit eines Unternehmens, andererseits zeigen sie die Richtungen zur Stärkung des Innovationssystems auf. In Theorie und Praxis sind in den vergangenen Jahren zahlreiche Innovationsaudit-Verfahren entwickelt worden. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt auf, welche Anforderungen insbesondere ein KMU-gerechtes Innovationsaudit erfüllen muss, um die zuvor genannten Ziele zu erreichen. Er dient damit als Beitrag zur Entwicklung eines „Hamburger Innovationsaudits“.

description: Electronic government (e-government) has been one of the most active areas of ontology development during the past six years. In e-government, ontologies are being used to describe and specify e-government services (e-services) because they enable easy composition, matching, mapping and merging of various e-government services. More importantly, they also facilitate the semantic integration and interoperability of e-government services. However, it is still unclear in the current literature how an existing ontology building methodology can be applied to develop semantic ontology models in a government service domain. In this paper the Uschold and King ontology building methodology is applied to develop semantic ontology models in a government service domain. Firstly, the Uschold and King methodology is presented, discussed and applied to build a government domain ontology. Secondly, the domain ontology is evaluated for semantic consistency using its semi-formal representation in Description Logic. Thirdly, an alignment of the domain ontology with the Descriptive Ontology for Linguistic and Cognitive Engineering (DOLCE) upper level ontology is drawn to allow its wider visibility and facilitate its integration with existing metadata standard. Finally, the domain ontology is formally written in Web Ontology Language (OWL) to enable its automatic processing by computers. The study aims to provide direction for the application of existing ontology building methodologies in the Semantic Web development processes of e-government domain specific ontology models; which would enable their repeatability in other e-government projects and strengthen the adoption of semantic technologies in e-government.

description: We study, analytically and theoretically, defects in a nematically-ordered surface that couple to the extrinsic geometry of a surface. Though the intrinsic geometry tends to confine topological defects to regions of large Gaussian curvature, extrinsic couplings tend to orient the nematic in the local direction of maximum or minimum bending. This additional frustration is unavoidable and most important on surfaces of negative Gaussian curvature, where it leads to a complex ground state thermodynamics. We show, in contradistinction to the well-known effects of intrinsic geometry, that extrinsic curvature expels disclinations from the region of maximum curvature above a critical coupling threshold. On catenoids lacking an "inside-outside" symmetry, defects are expelled altogether.

description: This paper proposed a method that combines Polar Fourier Transform, color moments, and vein features to retrieve leaf images based on a leaf image. The method is very useful to help people in recognizing foliage plants. Foliage plants are plants that have various colors and unique patterns in the leaf. Therefore, the colors and its patterns are information that should be counted on in the processing of plant identification. To compare the performance of retrieving system to other result, the experiments used Flavia dataset, which is very popular in recognizing plants. The result shows that the method gave better performance than PNN, SVM, and Fourier Transform. The method was also tested using foliage plants with various colors. The accuracy was 90.80% for 50 kinds of plants.

description: A new mechanism of baryon-antibaryon production via nonperturbative double pair creation in intermediate mesons is proposed and the theory contains no fitting parameters. It is shown, that near-threshold resonances are responsible for enhancements in electroproduction cross sections: $ψ(4S)$ for $Λ^+_c Λ^-_c, Υ(6S)$ for $Λ_b \bar Λ_b$. An admixture of intermediate $D$- wave resonances produces angular dependence in differential cross section and can explain unusual behavior of the ratio $G_E/G_M$ for the proton.

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In a previous article about the homogenization of the classical problem of diff usion in a bounded domain with su ciently smooth boundary we proved that the error is of order $ε^{1/2}$. Now, for an open set with su ciently smooth boundary $C^{1,1}$ and homogeneous Dirichlet or Neuman limits conditions we show that in any open set strongly included in the error is of order $ε$. If the open set $Ω\subset R^n$ is of polygonal (n=2) or polyhedral (n=3) boundary we also give the global and interrior error estimates.

description: Germany has advanced to the position of a key destination for Indian multinational enterprises in their spirited pursuit of growth opportunities overseas. In 2008, Indian firms invested an estimated amount of US$ 1.8 billion in Germany while 16 acquisitions by Indian firms were monitored, up from 7 in 2007. In fact, Indian FDI stock in Germany seems to have surpassed German FDI stock in India. Our research shows that, as of October 2008, 123 Indian MNEs with 167 subsidiaries were active in Germany and had approx. 20,000 full-time employees on their pay-rolls. However, there has been hardly any independent, academic research, so far, on Indian investments in Germany, especially on the motives, experiences, and employment effects on the host and home economies. The present study, presumably the only empirical study of Indian firms overseas to date, provides unique insights into the motives, operations, experiences, and future plans of Indian firms. It shows that Indian firms have generally performed well and intend to further strengthen their operations, including in research & development activities, in Germany. Nonetheless, firms are also faced with several challenges, including but certainly not limited to cross-cultural issues, which need to be mastered. There are also sectoral differences in the motives, experiences, and location selection criteria of Indian MNEs

Year: 2018

description: This paper deals with analysis of Corporate Social Responsibility features and brand Equity. The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility on brand Equity: the case of Awash Bank S.C. Accordingly, the research models were composed of three independent variables such as environmental responsibility, societal responsibility and stakeholder responsibility while there is one dependent variable which is brand equity. Furthermore hypotheses were developed to shown the effect of all the independent variables of corporate social responsibility on the dependent variable of brand equity. To this end, a structured 5-point Likert scale close ended questionnaire based survey was employed to collect data. For the customers of sixteen selected Awash bank branches regions found in Addis Ababa. More specifically 400 questionnaires were distributed and 376 (94 %) were returned back for analysis. The correlation analysis was illustrated to examine the relationship between those variables and effects of the factors was reported and analyzed by using multiples liner regression. Descriptive statistics also conducted in the research through the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science version 24 (SPSS). The findings of the study revealed that among the independent variables of environmental responsibility significantly affect brand equity of Awash bank.

description: Trade is a fundamental pillar of economy and a form of social organization. Its empirical characterization at the worldwide scale is represented by the World Trade Web (WTW), the network built upon the trade relationships between the different countries. Several scientific studies have focused on the structural characterization of this network, as well as its dynamical properties, since we have registry of the structure of the network at different times in history. In this paper we study an abstract scenario for the development of global crises on top of the structure of connections of the WTW. Assuming a cyclic dynamics of national economies and the interaction of different countries according to the import-export balances, we are able to investigate, using a simple model of pulse-coupled oscillators, the synchronization phenomenon of crises at the worldwide scale. We focus on the level of synchronization measured by an order parameter at two different scales, one for the global system and another one for the mesoscales defined through the topology. We use the WTW network structure to simulate a network of Integrate-and-Fire oscillators for six different snapshots between years 1950 and 2000. The results reinforce the idea that globalization accelerates the global synchronization process, and the analysis at a mesoscopic level shows that this synchronization is different before and after globalization periods: after globalization, the effect of communities is almost inexistent.
Intrinsic Spin Lifetime of Conduction Electrons in Germanium

description: We investigate the intrinsic spin relaxation of conduction electrons in germanium due to electron-phonon scattering. We derive intravalley and intervalley spin-flip matrix elements for a general spin orientation and quantify the resulting anisotropy in spin relaxation. The form of the intravalley spin-flip matrix element is derived from the eigenstates of a compact spin-dependent $\mathbf{k}$$\cdot$$\mathbf{p}$ Hamiltonian in the vicinity of the $L$ point (where thermal electrons are populated in Ge). Spin lifetimes from analytical integrations of the intravalley and intervalley matrix elements show excellent agreement with independent results from elaborate numerical methods.

description: We present hadron-level predictions from the Monte Carlo generator Cascade and parton level calculations of open b quark, b-flavored hadron and inclusive b-jet production in the framework of the kt-factorization QCD approach for the LHC energies. The unintegrated gluon densities in a proton are determined using the CCFM evolution equation and the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin (KMR) prescription. Our predictions are compared with the first data taken by the CMS and LHCb collaborations at 7 TeV. We study the theoretical uncertainties of our calculations and investigate the effects coming from parton showers in initial and final states. The special role of initial gluon transverse momenta in description of the data is pointed out.

description: We generalize unitarity bounds on operator dimensions in conformal field theory to field theories with spacetime dependent couplings. Below the energy scale of spacetime variation of the couplings, their evolution can strongly affect the physics, effectively shifting the infrared operator scaling and unitarity bounds determined from correlation functions in the theory. We analyze this explicitly for large-$N$ double-trace flows, and connect these to UV complete field theories. One motivating class of examples comes from our previous work on FRW holography, where this effect explains the range of flavors allowed in the dual, time dependent, field theory.

description: It is known that the symmetric (massless) state of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model in 2+1 dimensions in a magnetic field B is not the ground state of the system at zero temperature due to the presence of a negative, linear in &|σ+iπ|$, term in the effective potential for the composite fields $σ\sim\barψψ$ and $π\sim\barψiγ^5ψ$, while the quadratic term is always positive (a tachyon is absent). We find that finite temperature is a necessary ingredient for the tachyonic instability of the symmetric state to occur. Utilizing the Schwinger--Keldysh real-time formalism we calculate the dispersion relations for the fluctuation modes of the composite fields $σ$ and $π$. We demonstrate the presence of the tachyonic instability of the symmetric state for coupling constant that exceeds a certain critical value which vanishes as temperature tends to zero in accordance with the phenomenon of magnetic catalysis.
