description: The future runs of LHC offer a unique opportunity to measure correlations between two partons inside the proton, which have never been experimentally detected. The process of interest is the production of two positively charged W-bosons decaying in the muon channel. We present a detailed analysis of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, where we combine Monte Carlo event generators with our calculations of parton correlations. We carefully compare double parton scattering to relevant background processes and trace a path towards a clean signal sample. Several observables are constructed to demonstrate the effect of parton correlations with respect to clear benchmark values for uncorrelated scatterings. We find that especially spin correlations can be responsible for large effects in the variables we study, because of their direct relation with the parton angular momentum and, therefore, the directions of the muon momenta. We estimate the significance of the measurements as a function of the integrated luminosity and conclude that the LHC has the potential to detect, or put strong limits on, parton correlations in the near future.

description: Because of the new definition, the status of an agricultural holding was lost by holdings of natural and legal persons not running agricultural activity (both of 0-1 ha of UAA and 1 ha of UAA and more) and by private farms (of natural persons) up to 1 ha of UAA running agricultural activity, but executing agricultural production below the set production thresholds. This reduced the number of agricultural holdings and also caused changes, varied in degree, in the level of their provision with land, labour and capital resources. Hence, what changed were the indices illustrating the agriculture development level, including the very universal ones like average farm area, labour inputs per 100 ha, productivity of labour, land and capital, etc. Consequently, majority of data on farms presented in the publications of the Central Statistical Office of Poland until 2013 is not directly comparable with the data drawn up with the use of the new definition. The presented study attempted to analyse the changes in the number and structure of agricultural holdings in 1990-2013 and in their provision with land resources, considering the new definition of an agricultural holding and regional differentiation regarding these changes.
Self-avoiding walks and polygons on the triangular lattice

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We use new algorithms, based on the finite lattice method of series expansion, to extend the enumeration of self-avoiding walks and polygons on the triangular lattice to length 40 and 60, respectively. For self-avoiding walks to length 40 we also calculate series for the metric properties of mean-square end-to-end distance, mean-square radius of gyration and the mean-square distance of a monomer from the end points. For self-avoiding polygons to length 58 we calculate series for the mean-square radius of gyration and the first 10 moments of the area. Analysis of the series yields accurate estimates for the connective constant of triangular self-avoiding walks, $μ=4.150797226(26)$, and confirms to a high degree of accuracy several theoretical predictions for universal critical exponents and amplitude combinations.

description: This paper focuses on the search for a coherent and consistent formulation to describe quantum gravity corrections to Quantum Field Theory. We implement two fundamental ingredients discussed in previous analyses: on one hand, the construction of the Wentzel-Kramer-Brillouin and Born-Oppenheimer picture for the Wheeler-DeWitt theory of gravity and matter by using a reference fluid as physical clock; on the other hand, we explicitly separate in the metric field its own purely classical contribution from the quantum graviton degrees of freedom. This allows to derive, by the expansion in a Planckian parameter, a unitary theory properly evaluating the Quantum Field Theory modifications in the considered regime. More specifically, we recover at zero order the standard theory on curved space-time after averaging over the graviton sector. The physical corrections are induced at first order by (quantum) gravitons, thought as the slow-varying component of the system, as opposed to the fast quantum matter and reference fluid. The genuine contribution due to gravitons, non-factorizable into an independent phase, provides a coherent quantum gravity modification on Quantum Field Theory. We show this by determining the predicted inflationary spectrum during an exact de Sitter phase of the primordial Universe, finding a breaking of the scale invariant morphology even when the inflation potential is modelled by a cosmological constant term. Remarkably, the behavior of such non-scale-invariant spectrum overlaps predictions previously obtained in literature by neglecting non-unitary terms emerging in those formulations. In this respect, the present model provides a satisfactory regularization of such approaches, by virtue of a more realistic construction of the physical clock for the total (gravity + matter) quantum dynamics.

description: The development of a set of professional competencies for managers and experts in the human resources management requires purposeful activity to improve the particular knowledge, skills and abilities. Their development has a direct or indirect impact on the results of the production and business operations of the agricultural holdings in the sector. This makes it necessary to investigate the levels of development of the professional competencies of the managers and experts on human resources management, by revealing opportunities for their sophistication and management. The purpose of this article is to analyse the status and development of the professional competencies of the managers and the human resources management through assessment of their role in increasing production and economic efficiency of the farms in the agricultural sector.

description: Es gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten wodurch Webseiten das Verhalten von Internet-NutzerInnen verfolgen können, um zum Beispiel gezielte Werbung und Preisdiskriminierung durchzusetzen. Browser Fingerprinting ist ein Prozess, der die NutzerInnen identifiziert, indem bestimmte, kennzeichnende Eigenschaften des Browsers gesammelt und verglichen werden. Diese Art vom zustandlosen Tracking ermöglicht fremden, externen Webseiten, NutzerInnen ohne ihr Wissen über verschiedene Domains zu verfolgen. Fingerprinting-Methoden verwenden moderne Browser-Technologien, die eine interaktive Web-Experience anbieten (u.a. JavaScript und Flash), um die Eigenschaften verschiedener Browser und Betriebssysteme zu messen. In dieser Arbeit wird eine umfassende Studie zum Browser Tracking und Fringerprinting geführt. Des Weiteren wird ein erweitbares Framework, das alle bereits existierenden Fingerprinting-Methoden aus bisherigen Studien umfasst, implementiert und online gestellt. Die 1800 Fingerprints, die dadurch im Zeitraum 7. April-21. August 2016 gesammelt wurden, werden analysiert und zu den Ergebnissen der bisherigen Studien verglichen.
description: There are numerous ways in which websites track online users-behavior for various purposes like targeted advertising and price discrimination. Browser fingerprinting is a process of identifying a user by means of collecting and comparing the distinguishing features of the browser. This form of stateless tracking can aid third-party websites to track users across different domains without their knowledge. Fingerprinting methods exploit modern browser side technologies that provide interactive web experience (e.g. JavaScript and Flash) in order to measure different browser and operating system attributes. In this thesis, we conduct an extensive survey of related work-field of browser tracking and fingerprinting. Furthermore, we implement an extensible fingerprinting framework that encompasses all fingerprinting methods from previous research and publish it online in order to collect browser fingerprints. We analyze 1,800 fingerprints collected in a time span between April 7, 2016 and August 21, 2016 and compare the findings to other research.

description: The paper uses logistic regression model to determine factors affecting probability of income increase in agricultural holdings specialised in milk production. Analysis had a dynamic character and covered the period between 2009 and 2011. Independent variables included both quality and quantity features associated with farm activities. The analysis showed that,in each year, the most important variables in the logit model concerned the utilised agricultural area and the number of dairy cows, which had a positive impact on probability of income increase. All estimated models are characterised by high quality and thus can be used to correctly classify agricultural holdings.

description: In 1949-2010, the draft force resources in Polish agriculture increased by 420.6%. At the same time, there was more than eightfold increase in mechanical draft force and reduction in live one by 90%. In 2010, the value of gross output in constant prices was higher than in 1949 by 113.2%, final output – by 186.7% and market output – by 370.9%. It was noted that there is a positive correlation between equipment in the draft force and the value of agricultural production. Its strength, when considering only the mechanical draft force, was higher as compared to the total draft force taken into account. The correlation is the strongest when the market output is taken as a measure of agricultural production and the weakest for the gross output. The correlation is the strongest when the market output is taken as a measure of agricultural production and the weakest for the gross output.

description: An innovative particle detector that offers a compelling combination of cost-effectiveness and high accuracy is introduced. The detector features plastic scintillators paired with a sparse arrangement of SiPMs, strategically positioned within a unique opto-mechanical framework. This configuration delivers precise measurements of spatial impact position and energy deposition of impinging particles. The manuscript describes the detector's physical model complemented by an analytical representation. These calculations underpin a numerical algorithm, facilitating the estimation of particle impingement position and energy deposition. The results of the numerical calculations are compared with the output of GEANT4 simulations and evaluated by rigorous laboratory testing. An array of these detectors, intended for deployment in a spaceborne experiment, underwent detailed design, manufacturing, and testing. Their performance and alignment with the physical model were validated through meticulously conducted ground-based laboratory experiments, conclusively affirming the detector's properties.

description: We examine the two-pion interferometry for a granular source of quark-gluon plasma droplets. The evolution of the droplets is described by relativistic hydrodynamics with an equation of state suggested by lattice gauge results. Pions are assumed to be emitted thermally from the droplets at the freeze-out configuration characterized by a freeze-out temperature $T_f$. We find that the HBT radius $R_{out}$ decreases if the initial size of the droplets decreases. On the other hand, $R_{side}$ depends on the droplet spatial distribution and is relatively independent of the droplet size. It increases with an increase in the width of the spatial distribution and the collective-expansion velocity of the droplets. As a result, the value of $R_{out}$ can lie close to $R_{side}$ for a granular quark-gluon plasma source. The granular model of the emitting source may provide an explanation to the RHIC HBT puzzle and may lead to a new insight into the dynamics of the quark-gluon plasma phase transition.

description: Die Herstellung von fotorealistischen Bildern, die kaum von realen Bildern unterscheidbar sind, ist eines der wichtigsten Probleme in der Computergraphik. Übermäßige Abtastung während der Monte Carlo Integration bei Physically Based Rendering und besonders bei der Monte Carlo Path Tracing ermöglichen Bilder dieser Qualität. Das Problem der Monte Carlo Integration ist die Varianz bei einer niedrigen Abtastrate, welche als Rauschen im Endbild erscheint. Um dieses Problem zu umgehen, wird mehrdimensionale Filterung verwendet. In dieser Arbeit wird die Anwendbarkeit der Genetischen Programmierung für die Suche nach neuen mehrdimensionalen Filterausdrücken untersucht. Außerdem werden drei neue Ausdrücke vorgestellt, die bei unserer Methode generiert wurden. Unsere Methode besteht aus iterativen zufälligen Änderungen der ursprünglichen Ausdrücke bis zur Erfüllung des Abbruchkriteriums und aus dem Vergleich der mit neu erzeugten Ausdrücken erhaltenen gefilterten Pixelwerte mit den Ground Truths der Trainingsszenarios. Die so erhaltenen Ausdrücke erzielen bessere Ergebnisse als ein Crossbilateraler Filter mit konstanten Parametern. Desweiteren erlaubt unsere GPU Implementierung der identifizierten Ausdrücke eine schnelle Filterung des Monte Carlo Rauschens mit einer Rechenzeit von weniger als einer Sekunde.
description: Producing photo-realistic images, hardly distinguishable from the real photos, is one of the most important problems in computer graphics. Physically based rendering and particularly Monte Carlo path tracing is able to produce images of such quality by performing excessive sampling during Monte Carlo integration. The problem of Monte Carlo Integration is a high variance at low sampling rate. This variance appears as a noise in final image. In order to address such problem high-dimensional filtering is used. In this thesis we inspect the applicability of the Genetic Programming for the search of new high-dimensional filtering expressions and present three novel expressions generated by our method. Our method consists of iterative random changes of initial expressions until the finishing criterion is met and the comparison of the filtered pixel values, obtained with newly generated expressions, with the ground truth of the training scenes. The resulting expressions perform better than cross-bilateral filter with constant parameters. Additionally, our GPU implementation of identified expressions allows fast filtering of Monte Carlo noise with computational time of less than a second.

description: The paper discusses the essence and the use of active and intelligent packaging in the food industry. It presents the results of a survey whose aim was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of consumers towards this type of packaging. The survey was conducted on a sample of 372 respondents – inhabitants of the Lubuskie Voivodeship. The use of active and intelligent packaging is related to the growing consumer interest in high quality food and new consumer preferences which influence the changes in the approach to food packaging. The analysis of the survey results showed that although there are new solutions for active and intelligent packaging appearing on the market, the state of knowledge on them among the inhabitants of the Lubuskie Region is insufficient.

description: We present a wide field CCD photometric study of Galactic globular cluster NGC 7492. The derived VR color-magnitude diagram extends down to about 3.5 mag below the cluster main sequence turn-off. The field covers 42' X 42' about 3 times larger than the known tidal radius of this cluster. The sample of cluster member candidates obtained by CMD-mask process has been used to construct luminosity and mass functions and surface density map. NGC 7492 has a very flat mass function with very little variation in the slope with the distance from the cluster center. However, there is a clear evidence for the increase of the slope of the mass function from inner to outer regions, indicating a mass segregation of the cluster. The surface density map of NGC 7492 shows extensions toward the Galactic anticenter (northeast) and northwest from the cluster center. A comparison of luminosity function for stars in the tails with that for stars within the tidal radius suggests that the extensions shown in the surface density map could be a real feature. The overall shape of NGC 7492 is significantly flattened. If the flattened shape of the NGC 7492 is caused by its rotation, Galactic tidal field must have given important influences, since the initial rotation would have been almost completely removed by dynamical relaxation.

description: Local interlayer charge polarization of twisted bilayer hexagonal boron nitride (t2BN) is calculated and parametrized as a function of twist angle and perpendicular electric fields through tight-binding calculations on lattice relaxed geometries Lattice relaxations tend to increase the bandwidth of the nearly flat bands, where widths smaller than 1 meV are expected for angle less than 1.08 degree for parallel BN/BN alignment, and for angle less than 1.5 degree for the antiparallel BN/NB alignment. Local interlayer charge polarization maxima of 2.6 pC/m corresponding are expected at the AB and BA stacking sites of BN/BN aligned t2BN in the long moire period limit for angle less than 1 degree, and evolves non-monotonically with a maximum of 3.5 pC/m at angle equal to 1.6 degree before reaching 2 pC/m for angle equal to 6 degree. The electrostatic potential maxima due to the t2BN are overall enhanced by 20 percentage with respect to the rigid system assuming potential modulation depths of up to 300 mV near its surface. In BN/BN aligned bilayers the relative areas of the AB or BA local stacking regions can be expanded or reduced through a vertical electric field depending on its sign.

description: Farm income is highly variable, and this variability can affect household welfare, agricultural production, and environmental quality. Federal agricultural policies have long sought to shelter farmers from income fluctuations. The 2014 Farm Act focused attention on risk reduction by creating new programs tied to fluctuations in prices, yields, and revenues. ERS researchers use a large panel dataset created from 18 years of the USDA’s Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) to provide new information about the extent of farm household income variability. Analysis compares total income volatility of farm and nonfarm households; for farm households, it compares the volatility of farm and off-farm income and examines how income volatility differs across types of producers and farms of different sizes. A regression analysis explores the determinants of household income volatility and identifies trends in volatility over time. Researchers disaggregate total household income variability into farm, off-farm, and other components to trace how each component contributes to the overall volatility. Lastly, researchers look at the effects of U.S. Government programs on farm household income variability and estimate the risk-reducing benefits of these programs.

description: Este artículo examina la brecha salarial de género y el papel que juegan los sistemas de remuneración en la promoción de la equidad y la transparencia salarial dentro de las organizaciones. A medida que las empresas y gobiernos se enfrentan a la creciente presión por garantizar una remuneración justa, la brecha salarial de género sigue siendo un desafío global persistente.El artículo explora cómo los sistemas de remuneración bien diseñados pueden ser herramientas fundamentales para cerrar la brecha salarial, a través de la implementación de políticas y prácticas equitativas. Se analizan diferentes estrategias que incluyen la evaluación de trabajos, la transparencia en las estructuras salariales y la creación de un entorno organizacional que promueva la igualdad de género en el ámbito laboral. Además, se destaca cómo la falta de transparencia y las prácticas discriminatorias contribuyen a la perpetuación de la brecha salarial de género.El artículo también enfatiza la importancia de la voluntad organizacional y política para implementar cambios significativos, que no solo beneficien a las trabajadoras, sino que también fortalezcan la competitividad y reputación organizacional. Finalmente, se concluye que la promoción de la equidad salarial debe ser un objetivo prioritario para las empresas que buscan mejorar su clima laboral y alinearse con las expectativas sociales contemporáneas.

description: Two evaluation concepts for nondestructive depth‐resolved X‐ray residual stress analysis in the near‐surface region of materials with cubic symmetry and nearly single crystalline structure are introduced by simulated examples. Both concepts are based on the same data acquisition strategy, which consists in the determination of lattice‐spacing depth profiles along the ⟨hkl⟩ poles by stepwise sample rotation around the scattering vector. Segmentation of these profiles parallel to the sample surface provides the lattice strain state as a function of depth. The first evaluation concept extends the crystallite group method developed for materials with pronounced crystallographic texture by the feature of depth resolution and can be applied to samples with arbitrary orientation. The second evaluation concept, which adapts the linear regression approach of the sin2ψ method for the case of single crystalline materials, is restricted to samples with (001) orientation. The influence of the strain‐free lattice parameter a0 on residual stress analysis using both evaluation concepts is discussed on the basis of explicitly derived relations.

description: We obtain information on the QED photon amplitudes at high orders in perturbation theory starting from known results on the QED effective Lagrangian in a constant electric field. A closed-form all-order result for the weak field limit of the imaginary part of this Lagrangian has been given years ago by Affleck, Alvarez and Manton (for scalar QED) and by Lebedev and Ritus (for spinor QED). We discuss the evidence for its correctness, and conjecture an analogous formula for the case of a self-dual field. From this extension we then obtain, using Borel analysis, the leading asymptotic growth for large N of the maximally helicity violating component of the L - loop N - photon amplitude in the low energy limit. The result leads us to conjecture that the perturbation series converges for the on-shell renormalized QED N - photon amplitudes in the quenched approximation.

description: Worldwide changes in eating habits are contributing to a rise in obesity and chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes and heart disease, across all countries, including middle- and low-income countries. Now that many countries share common challenges related to food choice and public health, international organizations such as the World Health Organization have recommended global campaigns to address the rise of NCDs by implementing policies to improve diets. Although these organizations have proposed pricing and income policies, the effectiveness of such policies—based on income level and regional preferences, as well as on age and gender—could differ across countries. To address this issue, this study investigates how income and prices influence dietary habits globally. No prior studies have globally evaluated the influence of price and income on major dietary risk factors for NCDs by age or gender. In this report, nationally representative dietary intake data for 164 countries were used to derive income and own-price elasticities of food consumption across the spectrum of rich and poor countries. Our results show considerable differences among individuals across food groups, regions/countries, and age and gender subgroups. Similar to past studies of cross-country food demand, results also show that low-income countries are more affected by changes in income and food prices than are higher income countries.

description: We present a deperturbation analysis of the spin-orbit coupled $\rm A^1Σ^+$ and $\rm b^3Π_{0^+}$ states of LiRb based on the rovibrational energy levels observed previously by photoassociation spectroscopy in bosonic $^7$Li$^{85}$Rb molecule. Using the genetic algorithm, we fit the potential energy curves of the $\rm A^1Σ^+$ state and the $\rm b^3Π$ state into point-wise form. We then fit these point-wise potentials along with the spin-orbit coupling into expanded Morse oscillator functional form and optimise analytical parameters based on the experimental data. From the fitted results, we calculate the transition dipole moment matrix elements for transitions from the rovibrational levels of the coupled $\rm A^1Σ^+$-$\rm b^3Π_{0^+}$ state to the Feshbach state and the absolute rovibrational ground state for fermionic $^6$Li$^{87}$Rb molecule. Based on the calculated transition dipole moment matrix elements, several levels of the coupled $\rm A^1Σ^+$-$\rm b^3Π_{0^+}$ state are predicted to be suitable as the intermediate state for stimulated Raman adiabatic passage transfer from the Feshbach state to the absolute rovibrational ground state. In addition, we also provide a similar estimation for ${\rm B}^1Π$-${\rm c}^3Σ_1^+$-${\rm b}^3Π_1$ state based on available $ab\ initio$ interaction potentials.

description: This study uses Information Resources, Inc., Household Panel dataset of comprehensive grocery purchase records to investigate relationships among store formats, household demographics, and the healthfulness of grocery purchases. The findings demonstrate that U.S. consumers increasingly shop at nontraditional store formats for their groceries, including supercenters and dollar stores (and other smaller formats), and discuss some possible implications of these changing patterns. Grocery purchases vary considerably, on average, across store formats. Households purchase the most healthful foods at supermarkets and club stores and the least healthful foods at drug stores, convenience stores, and dollar stores. In most cases, the strongest associations with respect to formats and food choices are found for low-income households.

description: Continuous integration (CI) is a practice where developers integrate their work into the main stream of development frequently. A CI server monitors the source code repository of a project and automatically executes the software build process when new changes are checked in. If a build fails, developers have to identify and fix the cause of the broken build, leading to a delay in the integration process and stalling further development. Large software projects often have long running builds that exacerbate this problem. Despite the widespread use of CI, little is known about the multiplicity of errors that cause builds to fail. Yet, understanding when and why build errors occur is an important step towards improving developer productivity in the CI workflow. By identifying characteristics of development practices that cause build failures, we can predict preliminary results for an integration. This helps developers react to possible problems even before a build is initiated, thereby saving time and resources. In this thesis, we introduce CInsight, a framework for analyzing CI workflows and build failures. We conduct an empirical study on real-world data from 14 open source software projects. Data from source code repositories and build systems are explored to gather qualitative and quantitative evidence about the multiplicity and frequency of CI build errors. Statistical methods are used to examine the relationship between development practices and build failures. Based on the results, we devise a method for CI build failure prediction. Our results show that failing unit-tests and violations of code quality rules are the main causes for build failures. The statistical analyses reveal that the type and amount of previous errors are the strongest predictor for future failures. Our best prediction models yield average recall and precision values of 0.82 and 0.80, respectively. Furthermore, our approach allows to update a prediction during the execution of a build.
