description: Ideas from a USA-FRG conference on risk management are presented. In general, the difficulties confronted by risk management authorities in the two countries are similar, from discovering important risks at an early stage to setting acceptable goals. Government regulation is overburdened and somewhat inefficient in both countries, leading to greater search for alternatives. The many differences in approach between the two countries can inform both. German risk management is done largely through negotiations among the affected parties; when this does not resolve a dispute, a specialized administrative court takes charge. In both countries nonregulatory methods of managing risk should be enhanced and given a larger role. A matrix of risk management method versus criteria proved stimulating in comparing and ranking approaches. The conceptual differences between managing discrete events (auto crashes, boiler explosions, etc.) and chronic exposures have not been appreciated. Although uncertainty and probability are involved in both, there are qualitative differences in both analysis and management. Public perceptions of risk and the role these should play have been characterized by “objectivist” and “subjectivist” positions. In the former view, risks are subject to analysis, are calculable, and the public must be educated to accept the conclusions of experts. In the latter view what people perceive is what is most important, both psychologically and politically, and the risk experts must understand public fears and desires. These are important opportunities for cross cultural studies.

description: As a consequence of human’s activities, fluoride concentration in many aquatic ecosystems is significantly increasing. Nevertheless, little is known about fluoride toxicity to aquatic life. In this study the effect of exposure to different concentrations of sodium fluoride (2, 10, 50, 250 and 1,250 μg mL−1) during 24 h on primary cultured haemocytes of the gastropod Haliotis tuberculata was realized. Results indicate no significant effect of NaF on cell viability, Lysosomal membrane stability, phagocytosis and ROS production at concentrations of 2, 10, 50 and 250 μg mL−1. Nevertheless, lysosomal membrane alterations, a decrease of phagocytosis and morphological changes of H. tuberculata haemocytes were observed at concentration of 1,250 μg mL−1 NaF suggesting a potential impact of NaF at high concentration in the environment.

description: We present a calculation of the effective weak Hamiltonian which governs $b \rightarrow s\, γ$ and $b \rightarrow s \, g$ transitions in two different renormalization schemes (NDR and HV). In the leading logarithmic approximation, we show that the coefficients of the effective Hamiltonian are scheme independent only when one takes correctly into account the scheme dependence of one- and two- loop diagrams. We demonstrate that in NDR there are contributions which were missed in previous calculations. These contributions are necessary to obtain scheme independent coefficients in the final results.

description: Lectins are present in almost all living organisms and are involved in several biological processes, including immune responses. In the present study, a calcium dependent galactose-binding lectin exhibiting an apparent MW of 43 kDa has been characterized and purified from the mucus of the polychaete Sabella spallanzanii by using both affinity chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatographic methods. Its agglutinating activity towards rabbit erythrocytes was significantly modified by the addition of calcium or EDTA. The activity was optimal at temperature values comprised between 4 and 18 °C, maintain a 50% of activity between 20 and 37 °C, was significant deleted after exposure at 50 °C, and was depleted at 90 °C. The S. spallanzanii Galactose-Binding Lectin (SsGBL) was able to agglutinate bacteria and to preferentially recognize Gram-negative bacteria. The strongest agglutinating activity was observed towards Vibrio alginolyticus and Escherichia coli, by contrast mucus agglutinated in a lesser extent both Aeromonas hydrophyla and the Gram-positive Micrococcus lysodeikticus thus suggesting its involvement in host pathogen interactions.

description: Malectin is a newly discovered lectin of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that might be involved in innate immunity. Information about the roles of malectin in innate immunity is scarce. In the present study, a novel malectin gene (designated as CfMal) from the Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri was identified and characterized. Sequence features, tissue distribution, and temporal expression profiles were investigated to infer the potential functions of CfMal in innate immunity. The complete cDNA sequence of CfMal comprised 1,111 bp and contained an open reading frame of 909 bp, which encoded 302 amino acid residues. A malectin domain and a transmembrane region were identified in the predicted protein sequence. CfMal mRNA transcripts were detectable in hemocytes, muscle, mantle, gill, hepatopancreas, and gonads. CfMal expression was highest in hemocytes. Stimulation with Vibrio splendidus increased CfMal expression in hemocytes, gill, and hepatopancreas. The mRNA transcripts of CfMal and three related genes, including binding immunoglobulin protein, heat shock protein 90 kDa β member 1 protein and ER degradation enhancing α-mannosidase like protein 1, increased in scallop hemocytes during an artificial ER-stress. Our results indicate that CfMal might not only be involved in ER-stress, but may also play a role in innate immunity of scallops.

description: Van der Waals forces as interactions between neutral and polarisable particles act at small distances between two objects. Their theoretical origin lies in the electromagnetic interaction between induced dipole moments caused by the vacuum fluctuations of the ground-state electromagnetic field. The resulting theory well describes the experimental situation in the limit of the point dipole assumption. At smaller distances, where the finite size of the particles has to be taken into account, this description fails and has to be corrected by higher orders of the multipole expansion, such as quadrupole moments and so on. With respect to the complexity of the spatial properties of the particles this task requires a considerable effort. In order to describe the van der Waals interaction between such particles, we apply the established method of a spatially spread out polarisability distribution to approximate the higher orders of the multipole expansion. We hence construct an effective theory for effects from anisotropy and finite size on the van der Waals potential.

description: As an important location based service, next Point-Of-Interest (POI) recommendation has been widely utilized in helping people discover attractive and interesting locations. However, the sparsity of check-in data, the cold start issue and complicated contextual and semantic relationships between users and POIs bring severe challenges. To cope with these challenges, we develop a novel deep reinforcement learning based personalized POI recommendation framework. Within the proposed framework, a joint graph embedding model is proposed to compute users’ dynamic preferences, accounting for inter-user relationships, historical check-in sequence, and category information of visited POIs. We are working on the experiments of applying the proposed POI recommendation framework on two typical real-world location-based social network datasets.

description: Gibberellic acid (GA3) is usually used as a plant growth regulator to enhance the quality and quantity of crop yield. Moreover, GA3 may also affect insects and other herbivores that rely on a particular plant for their living. Hence, in the present study the defensive mechanisms of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) fed on the diet contating GA3 have been considered. The larvae fed with GA3 significantly exhibited cellular and humoral inhibitory responses such as, reduced nodule formation and phenoloxidase activity. Antioxidant system was also affected; the lowest activity of peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidise, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and glutathione S-transferases was observed in control larvae while the highest activity was found in those larvae that were provided with a diet containing 800 µg/g GA3. The metabolites like triglyceride, glycogen, and cholesterol were reduced compared to the control. It is concluded that the use of plant growth regulators like GA3 not only does benefit plants for their growth and yield, but also can somehow help plants to withstand the impact of herbivores. Hence, studies covering direct field collected insects from crop plants treated with PGRs would be beneficial for further studies.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We propose an interpolating formula for the amplitude induced by the axial anomaly, concentrating on the $π^0γ^{\ast}γ^{\ast}$ transition form factor. The QCD corrections to this amplitude are generally described by two major contributions coming from the $q\bar{q}$ bound state and the background continuous spectrum, respectively. For the first contribution, we include the lowest vector bound state using the realization of the dynamical gauge boson of hidden local symmetry. The second contribution is included as the triangle quark loop in which a constituent mass is adopted as a internal quark mass and the amplitudes are smeared out around the threshold. Using the resulting form factor, we fit the experimental data for the $π^0γ$ and the $ωπ^0$ transition form factors and show that our result describes the experimental data well.

description: The growth of the "size" of operators is an important diagnostic of quantum chaos. In arXiv:1802.01198 [hep-th] it was conjectured that the holographic dual of the size is proportional to the average radial component of the momentum of the particle created by the operator. Thus the growth of operators in the background of a black hole corresponds to the acceleration of the particle as it falls toward the horizon. In this note we will use the momentum-size correspondence as a tool to study scrambling in the field of a near-extremal charged black hole. The agreement with previous work provides a non-trivial test of the momentum-size relation, as well as an explanation of a paradoxical feature of scrambling previously discovered by Leichenauer [arXiv:1405.7365 [hep-th]]. Naively Leichenauer's result says that only the non-extremal entropy participates in scrambling. The same feature is also present in the SYK model. In this paper we find a quite different interpretation of Leichenauer's result which does not have to do with any decoupling of the extremal degrees of freedom. Instead it has to do with the buildup of momentum as a particle accelerates through the long throat of the Reissner-Nordstrom geometry.

description: In this concluding article to the Management Science special issue on “Managing Knowledge in Organizations: Creating, Retaining, and Transferring Knowledge,” we provide an integrative framework for organizing the literature on knowledge management. The framework has two dimensions. The knowledge management outcomes of knowledge creation, retention, and transfer are represented along one dimension. Properties of the context within which knowledge management occurs are represented on the other dimension. These properties, which affect knowledge management outcomes, can be organized according to whether they are properties of a unit (e.g., individual, group, organization) involved in knowledge management, properties of relationships between units or properties of the knowledge itself. The framework is used to identify where research findings about knowledge management converge and where gaps in our understanding exist. The article discusses mechanisms of knowledge management and how those mechanisms affect a unit’s ability to create, retain and transfer knowledge. Emerging themes in the literature on knowledge management are identified. Directions for future research are suggested.

We also show that the bottom of the spectrum admits an upper bound, which depends only on the dimension and which is the bottom of the spectrum of the Hyperbolic geometry of the same dimension. Horoballs, from a purely metric point of view, and their relation with the bottom of the spectrum in Hilbert geometries are briefly studied.

description: We investigate the properties of the amplitude induced by the anomaly. In a relatively high energy region those amplitudes are constructed by the vector meson poles and the anomaly terms, in which the anomaly terms can be essentially evaluated by the triangle quark graph. We pay our attention to the anomaly term and make intensive analysis of the existing experimental data, i.e., the electromagnetic $π^0$ and $ω$ transition form factors. Our result shows that it is essential to use the constituent quark mass instead of the current quark mass in evaluating the anomaly term from the triangle graph.

description: We present simulations of the gaseous and stellar material in several different galaxy mass models under the influence of different tidal fly-bys to assess the changes in their bar and spiral morphology. Five different mass models are chosen to represent the variety of rotation curves seen in nature. We find a multitude of different spiral and bar structures can be created, with their properties dependent on the strength of the interaction. We calculate pattern speeds, spiral wind-up rates, bar lengths, and angular momentum exchange to quantify the changes in disc morphology in each scenario. The wind-up rates of the tidal spirals follow the 2:1 resonance very closely for the flat and dark matter dominated rotation curves, whereas the more baryon dominated curves tend to wind-up faster, influenced by their inner bars. Clear spurs are seen in most of the tidal spirals, most noticeable in the flat rotation curve models. Bars formed both in isolation and interactions agree well with those seen in real galaxies, with a mixture of "fast" and "slow" rotators. We find no strong correlation between bar length or pattern speed and the interaction strength. Bar formation is, however, accelerated/induced in four out of five of our models. We close by briefly comparing the morphology of our models to real galaxies, easily finding analogues for nearly all simulations presenter here, showing passages of small companions can easily reproduce an ensemble of observed morphologies.

Subjects: subject: Major depressive disorder

description: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly prevalent psychiatric disorder that is now the leading cause of worldwide disability in terms of years lived with disability. In the majority of Western countries, the lifetime prevalence of MDD typically varies between 8% and 12%. There are consistently established relationships with female gender, alcohol abuse, diabetes, and poor social relationships. The high prevalence and disability associated with MDD make research aimed at understanding its aetiology and developing effective treatments a priority. MDD aggregates within families and the heritability of MDD has been estimated as 37% (SE 5%) in a meta-analysis of twin studies and 32% (SE 9%) using genomic similarity among unrelated individuals. Given the genetic contribution to MDD, genetic studies are a potential means of understanding its aetiology as well as identifying new drug targets. Despite this substantial genetic contribution to its aetiology, candidate gene and genome-wide association studies, including a mega-analysis of more than 20,000 individuals with 9240 cases and 9519 controls in the discovery sample, have failed to identify significantly associated specific genetic variants. Nonetheless, genome-wide association and related studies have shown that MDD is a genetically complex disorder where risk is proposed to result from the cumulative effects of many low-penetrance genetic variants. Increasingly it is also recognised that a diagnosis of MDD may group together individuals who suffer from causally distinct conditions. Some studies indicate that the heritability estimates of MDD differ by sex with female MDD showing higher heritability than male MDD suggesting that the genetic causes may be somewhat distinct. Further, it has been suggested that both age of onset and single versus recurrent episode illness course may have somewhat differing genetic aetiologies. These findings highlight the substantial heterogeneity of MDD, which may further impede the search for genetic causes. There is therefore an urgent need to increase sample sizes and to refine and stratify the phenotype to reduce heterogeneity of phenotypic measurements, and measurement error of MDD with the aim of identifying more genetically homogenous targets for better powered association studies. Pedigree-based genetic studies are an efficient means for dissecting trait heterogeneity because they are able to capture all additive heritability whilst matching for key confounds present in studies of unaffected subjects.

description: We study the magnetoresistance of spin-valve devices using graphene as a non-magnetic material to connect ferromagnetic leads. As a preliminary step we first study the conductivity of a graphene strip connected to metallic contacts for a variety of lead parameters, and demonstrate that the resulting conductivity is rather insensitive to them. We then compute the conductivity of the spin-valve device in the parallel and antiparallel spin polarization configurations, and find that it depends only weakly on the relative spin orientations of the leads, so that the magnetoresistance $MR$ of the system is very small. The smallness of $MR$ is a consequence of the near independence of the graphene conductivity from the electronic details of the leads. Our results indicate that, although graphene has properties that make it attractive for spintronic devices, the performance of an graphene-based spin-valve is likely to be poor.

description: Immune priming is a phenomenon that allows invertebrates, which are devoid of acquired immunity, relying on memory T-cells and antibodies, to achieve better protection after subsequent infection. In this short report, we present new investigations of the immune response of primed Galleria mellonella larvae after infection with Bacillus thuringiensis. We compared two related aspects of immune response – hemolymph coagulation and the activity of phenoloxidase in the primed and non-primed larvae after the injection of the lethal dose of B. thuringiensis. The in vivo assay showed that coagulation of hemolymph in response to the bacterial injection occurred more efficiently in the primed animals in comparison to the non-primed ones. Further, we showed that the activity of phenoloxidase was also higher in the primed, infected larvae. Both parameters of insect immune response may contribute to the increased resistance of primed G. mellonella to further infection with B. thuringiensis.

Taking into account some geophysical parameters we develop a computational routine, in the Finite Difference Method, that solves the resulting elliptic partial equation, both in a homogeneous isotropic and homogeneous anisotropic media. After calibration of the numerical model, this routine is used to begin a study of the Ayamonte-Huelva aquifer in Spain, a modest analysis of the system is given, we compute the average discharge vector as well as its root mean square as a first predictive approximation of the flux in this system, providing us a signal of the location of best exploitation; long term goal is to develop a complete computational tool for the analysis of groundwater dynamics.

description: The biological activities of invertebrates are influenced by environmental factors. Surface feeding soil animals such as epigeic earthworms are likely to be influenced by the type and intensity of light unlike deep dwelling species which live in dark. This study reports the effects of low intensity light exposures on the survivability, biomass, vermicomposting efficiency, tissue protein, lipid peroxidation and activities of three stress enzymes, acetylcholinesterase, lactate dehydrogenase and catalase of the vermicomposting earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae. Consistent exposure of the animal to low intensity white, blue, green and red LED lights for 42 days in semi-decomposed organic substrate indicated decreased protein level, increased lipid peroxidation and enzyme activities in the animal with respect to those kept in dark. The study further indicated that darkness favours survivability, biomass gain and vermicomposting efficiency in this earthworm.

description: A world with acute health problems, economic depression, war or the threat of nuclear annihilation, and high injury rates is not one where environmental issues are likely to be the focus of attention. Only when short-term health problems are under control, income is at a high level, and other immediate threats such as war are viewed as being under control is the environment likely to emerge as a major social concern (Lave, 1980a). The late 1960s was such a time in the United States and in much of the developed world. Spectacular progress had been made in lowering the infant mortality rate and vanquishing infectious disease. Trauma was viewed as basically being under control, due in part to the creation of the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The perceived threat of nuclear war had receded far from the preoccupation of the early 1950s. Per capita income had increased steadily in the post-war period and fears of a deep depression had evaporated with the steady performance of the economy over two and a half decades. In short, immediate, high-level concerns had been satisfied and other issues might emerge to take their place.

Electrically tunable gauge fields in tiny-angle twisted bilayer graphene

description: Twisted bilayer graphene has recently attracted a lot of attention for its rich electronic properties and tunability. Here we show that for very small twist angles, $α\ll 1^\circ$, the application of a perpendicular electric field is mathematically equivalent to a new kind of artificial gauge field. This identification opens the door for the generation and detection of pseudo-Landau levels in graphene platforms within robust setups which do not depend on strain engineering and therefore can be realistically harvested for technological applications. Furthermore, this new artificial gauge field leads to the development of highly localized modes associated with flat bands close to charge neutrality which form an emergent Kagome lattice in real space. Our findings indicate that for tiny angles, biased twisted bilayer graphene is a promising platform which can realize frustrated lattices of highly localized states, opening a new direction for the investigation of strongly correlated phases of matter.

description: Traditional cash flow estimation techniques focus on generating net cash flow estimates period-by-period, which are then discounted by the firm’s cost of capital. While conceptually strong, this aggregation approach can be insensitive to the fine-grained detail so important to managing project cash flows, in particular, that investment returns are always a combination of growth (renewal) and decline (convergence) forces at work over the firm’s life. As is demonstrated in this paper, the aggregation problem can be addressed by employing a cash flow recovery period (CFRP) framework, which distinguishes and quantifies the renewal and convergence forces unique to each firm’s project cash flows. The benefit of this more fine-grained approach is that it provides an additional level of detail that can be used to manage firm returns.

description: We report experimental results on heterodyne holographic microscopy of subwavelength-sized gold particles. The apparatus uses continuous green laser illumination of the metal beads in a total internal reflection configuration for dark-field operation. Detection of the scattered light at the illumination wavelength on a charge-coupled device array detector enables 3D localization of brownian particles in water

description: A firm seeks to raise capital in credit markets to fund risky operating activities. The firm has private information about the future cash flows from such activities. Firm owners delegate operating decisions to a manager who privately learns further information about the distribution of those cash flows subsequent to contracting, but before taking actions. Those actions include the selection of which operating activities to pursue and how much hidden effort to exert. At issue initially after introducing the problem is the efficient design of the manager's compensation as a device for signaling private information to lenders as well as for inducing operating decisions. Our results provide conditions under which a Bayesian Nash separating equilibrium satisfying the Cho–Kreps intuitive criterion exists. Broadly speaking, these results suggest that contracts that resolve internal adverse selection and moral hazard problems may serve as signaling devices in efficiently resolving information asymmetries with external parties. Next, we show how earnings-based debt covenants and the selection of conservative accounting methods may eliminate signaling costs altogether.

Worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis

description: Industrial automation is changing towards a flat and highly interconnected architecture, with requirements for end-to-end real-time enabled machine-to-machine communications. Technologies such as time-sensitive networking (TSN) and OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) publish-subscribe provide the necessary features. While TSN is well explored, OPC UA's execution time behavior remains unknown. This article presents findings made while extending the open62541 OPC UA Pub Sub stack with the 802.1q VLAN tag to enable IEEE 802.1Qbv time-aware scheduling. The results include end-to-end timing measures and worst-case execution time analyses considering various payloads. Time-predictable T-CREST platforms host the publisher and subscriber, and a TSN network handles message transmission. The paper concludes by outlining further research focusing on dynamic memory access, buffer management, and the inclusion of non-priority access to the Ethernet port.
