description: Operation technology networks, i.e. hard- and software used for monitoring and controlling physical/industrial processes, have been considered immune to cyber attacks for a long time. A recent increase of attacks in these networks proves this assumption wrong. Several technical constraints lead to approaches to detect attacks on industrial processes using available sensor data. This setting differs fundamentally from anomaly detection in IT-network traffic and requires new visualization approaches adapted to the common periodical behavior in OT-network data. We present a tailored visualization system that utilizes inherent features of measurements from industrial processes to full capacity to provide insight into the data and support triage analysis by laymen and experts. The novel combination of spiral plots with results from anomaly detection was implemented in an interactive system. The capabilities of our system are demonstrated using sensor and actuator data from a real-world water treatment process with introduced attacks. Exemplary analysis strategies are presented. Finally, we evaluate effectiveness and usability of our system and perform an expert evaluation.

 After re-examination of type material deposited in ZIN we do not have any doubt that this species belongs to the genus Aspicera; the morphology of the scutum supports this conclusion, even though it has an insignificant spine. Some figitid genera defined by the presence of a spine may include species that have a highly reduced spine have already been cited; for example the figitine Neralsia pseudoneralsia Jiménez & Pujade-Villar 2006.

description: Niels Bohr wrote: "There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about Nature." In an analogous way, von Weizsaecker suggested that the notion of the elementary alternative, the "Ur", should play a pivotal role when constructing physics. Both approaches suggest that the concept of information should play an essential role in the foundations of any scientific description of Nature. We show that if, in our description of Nature, we use one definite proposition per elementary constituent of Nature, some of the essential characteristics of quantum physics, such as the irreducible randomness of individual events, quantum complementary and quantum entanglement, arise in a natural way. Then quantum physics is an elementary theory of information.

description: The multi-vehicle covering tour problem with time windows (MCTPTW) aims to construct a set of maximal coverage routes for a fleet of vehicles that serve (observe) a secondary set of sites given a fixed time schedule, coverage requirements, and energy restrictions. The problem is formulated as a mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP) model and is an extension of both the multi-covering tour problem and the vehicle routing problem with time windows under energy constraints. Further, we study a special case of the proposed model and develop a labeling algorithm to solve its Lagrangian relaxation problem, which exploits the combinatorial structure exhibited by an optimal solution to the Lagrangian relaxation.

description: Modern applications of artificial intelligence are often characterized by training large machine learning (ML) models on large datasets. These datasets are composedof overlapping groups of samples, either explicitly (e.g. the large dataset is created by combining multiple datasets) or implicitly (e.g. the samples belong to latent sub-populations). Population models prefer weakly-predictive global patterns over highly-predictive localized effects, a problem because localized effects are critical to understanding complex processes such as in applications to computational biology(in which samples come from latent cell types) and precision medicine (in which patients come from latent disease subtypes). In this thesis, we propose that: The performance of intelligent computer systems can be improved by treating different samples as different tasks. This is especiallyhelpful in domains such as computational biology and precision medicine, in which we care about understanding the highly specific context of each sample. We propose to solve this problem by estimating a collection of many small models. For large collections, each model is responsible for only a small number of samples, enabling simultaneous interpretability and accuracy. As we show in this thesis, this framework can be scaled to estimate different model parameters for every sample. This thesis begins by studying the challenges of characterizing real-world data with population-level models. Next, we develop the methodology of Personalized Regression. Finally, we apply sample-specific inference to computational biology and precision medicine by: (1) Identifying Discriminative Subtypes of Cancers from Histopathology Images and (2) Cell-Specific Transcriptomic Regulatory Network Inference.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: The Florida citrus industry has undergone rapid change and expansion since World War II. The most significant innovation has been the introduction and widespread acceptance of frozen concentrates, which not only relieved the industry of its major dependence on the fresh fruit market, but also contributed to the expanding total use of Florida citrus in the United States. This study was undertaken to determine some of the more important economic characteristics of the Florida chilled citrus juice industry and to identify some of the major marketing problems. Data on selected firm characteristics, sales, transportation, packaging and distribution of the product, and acquisition of raw materials from July 1, 1957 through June 30, 1958 were gathered by personal interviews with representatives of chilled juice firms during June 1958.

description: This study presents the application of generative deep learning techniques to evaluate marine fog visibility nowcasting using the FATIMA (Fog and turbulence interactions in the marine atmosphere) campaign observations collected during July 2022 in the North Atlantic in the Grand Banks area and vicinity of Sable Island (SI), northeast of Canada. The measurements were collected using the Vaisala Forward Scatter Sensor model FD70 and Weather Transmitter model WXT50, and Gill R3A ultrasonic anemometer mounted on the Research Vessel Atlantic Condor. To perform nowcasting, the time series of fog visibility (Vis), wind speed, dew point depression, and relative humidity with respect to water were preprocessed to have lagged time step features. Generative nowcasting of Vis time series for lead times of 30 and 60 minutes were performed using conditional generative adversarial networks (cGAN) regression at visibility thresholds of Vis < 1 km and < 10 km. Extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) was used as a baseline method for comparison against cGAN. At the 30 min lead time, Vis was best predicted with cGAN at Vis < 1 km (RMSE = 0.151 km) and with XGBoost at Vis < 10 km (RMSE = 2.821 km). At the 60 min lead time, Vis was best predicted with XGBoost at Vis < 1 km (RMSE = 0.167 km) and Vis < 10 km (RMSE = 3.508 km), but the cGAN RMSE was similar to XGBoost. Despite nowcasting Vis at 30 min being quite difficult, the ability of the cGAN model to track the variation in Vis at 1 km suggests that there is potential for generative analysis of marine fog visibility using observational meteorological parameters.

description: We study the driving forces behind the adoption of environmental innovations (EI) in the Italian industry over 2006-2008 through analyses of the new wave of Community Innovation Survey (CIS) data that covered for the first time environmental innovation adoptions. We investigate whether the first phase of EU ETS has exerted some effects on environmental innovations by using a very large sample of italian manufcturing firms. Estimates show that external forces and complementarity with other management practices are particularly relevant to increase the adoption of relatively new and radical technologies: relationships with other firms and institutions, local public funding, group membership are the key factors. The role of ETS on EI seems instead to be weak: it drives innovation if we compare ETS and non ETS firms, but the stringency itself does not matter, due to sector idiosyncratic factors and to the fact that stability of policy also matters.

description: We clarify the origin of the strikingly different spectroscopic properties of the chemically similar compounds NaOsO$_3$ and LiOsO$_3$. Our first-principle many-body analysis demonstrates that the highly sensitive physics of these two materials is controlled by their proximity to an adjacent Hund's-Mott insulating phase. In mildly correlated $5d$ oxides, this physics is triggered by the {\sl cooperative} action of intraorbital repulsion and Hund's exchange in half-filled $t_{2g}$ outer-shells. Small material-specific details hence result in an extremely sharp change of the electronic mobility, explaining the surprisingly different properties of the paramagnetic high-temperature phases of the two compounds.

description: In this paper we study the motion of two particles diffusing on low-dimensional discrete structures in presence of a hard-core repulsive interaction. We show that the problem can be mapped in two decoupled problems of single particles diffusing on different graphs by a transformation we call 'diffusion graph transform'. This technique is applied to study two specific cases: the narrow comb and the ladder lattice. We focus on the determination of the long time probabilities for the contact between particles and their reciprocal crossing. We also obtain the mean square dispersion of the particles in the case of the narrow comb lattice. The case of a sticking potential and of 'vicious' particles are discussed.

description: Excerpts from the report: As of January 1, 1959, all poultry and poultry products moving In interstate or foreign commerce became subject to inspection for wholesomeness by representatives of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Effective sewage disposal will be one of the minimum operating requirements for poultry processing plants. Sewage can be disposed of through any one of several installations. In some instances, city sewers, the preferred method of disposal, are available. In other areas, conventional methods of sewage treatment, such as trickling filters or activated sludge, may be available or may be required. For many processors, however, these facilities may not be available or they may not have the capacity to handle poultry sewage. These processors may be in a position to consider a number of alternatives, including irrigation, as a means of disposal. For such processors, we present the following report in the hope that it may help in choosing the alternative which may be most desirable. The report also discusses the secondary effects on investment, operating costs, and benefits of such factors as chemical and physical characteristics of the waste, cover crops, acreage and type of land, climatic conditions, and other pertinent factors.
Modelling charge self-trapping in wide-gap dielectrics: Localization problem in local density functionals

description: We discuss the adiabatic self-trapping of small polarons within the density functional theory (DFT). In particular, we carried out plane-wave pseudo-potential calculations of the triplet exciton in NaCl and found no energy minimum corresponding to the self-trapped exciton (STE) contrary to the experimental evidence and previous calculations. To explore the origin of this problem we modelled the self-trapped hole in NaCl using hybrid density functionals and an embedded cluster method. Calculations show that the stability of the self-trapped state of the hole drastically depends on the amount of the exact exchange in the density functional: at less than 30% of the Hartree-Fock exchange, only delocalized hole is stable, at 50% - both delocalized and self-trapped states are stable, while further increase of exact exchange results in only the self-trapped state being stable. We argue that the main contributions to the self-trapping energy such as the kinetic energy of the localizing charge, the chemical bond formation of the di-halogen quasi molecule, and the lattice polarization, are represented incorrectly within the Kohn-Sham (KS) based approaches.

description: Assuming that the vacuum energy-momentum tensor is not exceptionally large, we consider 4D evaporating black holes with spherical symmetry and evaluate the proper distance $ΔL$ between the time-like apparent horizon and the surface of the collapsing matter after it has entered the apparent horizon. We show that $ΔL$ can never be larger than $\mathcal{O}(n^{3/2}\ell_p)$ when the black hole is evaporated to $1/n$ of its initial mass, as long as $n \ll a^{2/3}/\ell_p^{2/3}$ (where $a$ is the Schwarzschild radius and $\ell_p$ is the Planck length). For example, the distance between the matter and the apparent horizon must be Planckian at the Page time.

Session-Typed Ordered Logical Specifications

description: Concurrent systems are ubiquitous, but notoriously difficult to get right: subtle races and deadlocks can lurk even in the most extensively tested of systems. In a quest to tame concurrency, researchers have successfully applied the principle of computation as deduction to concurrencyin two distinct ways: concurrency as proof reduction and concurrency as proof construction. These two approaches to concurrency have complementary advantages, with the proof-construction approach excelling at global specification of a system’s dynamics, while the proof-reductionapproach is best suited to implementation of the processes that comprise the system. This document explores the relationship between these two different proof-theoretic characterizations of concurrency. To focus on the essential aspects of their relationship, the exploration is carried out inthe context of concurrent systems that have chain topologies. From a proof-construction perspective, chain topologies arise from ordered logic; from a proof-reduction perspective, they arise from singleton logic, a variant of ordered logic that restricts sequents to have exactly one antecedent. In this context, a rewriting framework is systematically derived from the ordered sequent calculus, and a message-passing fragment of that rewriting framework is identified. String rewriting specifications ofconcurrent systems can be choreographed into this fragment, and the fragment supports a notion of bisimilarity. Along the way, we also uncover a semi-axiomatic sequent calculus for singleton logic, which blends a standard sequent calculus with axiomatic aspects of Hilbert systems,and we then establish a correspondence between semi-axiomatic proof normalization and asynchronous message-passing communication. Ultimately, the message-passing processes can be faithfully embedded within the message-passing ordered rewriting framework in a bisimilar way. Perhaps surprising is that, because the embedding isleft-invertible, we can also identify fairly broad conditions under which local, process implementations can be extracted from global, message-passing ordered rewriting specifications.

description: Kazakhstan and Germany have different development levels of the agricultural sector. One of the explanations for this fact might be the different investment behavior of farmers in the two countries. In this study, we experimentally compare the investment behavior of farmers in the two countries in a farmland investment treatment and a coin tossing game investment treatment. In addition, farmers were confronted with the two treatments in a different order. Results demonstrate that German farmers are more reluctant to make investment than Kazakhstani farmers. Moreover, results are independent from the framing of a farmland investment and a coin tossing game investment treatment. Furthermore, the investment behaviors of farmers were contrasted with normative benchmark of the classical investment theory and the real options theory. Our results show that both theories cannot exactly explain the investment behavior of farmers. However, farmers learn from former investment behavior and consider the value of waiting over time.

description: Gravitational wave detectors will need optimal signal-processing algorithms to extract weak signals from the detector noise. Most algorithms designed to date are based on the unrealistic assumption that the detector noise may be modeled as a stationary Gaussian process. However most experiments exhibit a non-Gaussian ``tail'' in the probability distribution. This ``excess'' of large signals can be a troublesome source of false alarms. This article derives an optimal (in the Neyman-Pearson sense, for weak signals) signal processing strategy when the detector noise is non-Gaussian and exhibits tail terms. This strategy is robust, meaning that it is close to optimal for Gaussian noise but far less sensitive than conventional methods to the excess large events that form the tail of the distribution. The method is analyzed for two different signal analysis problems: (i) a known waveform (e.g., a binary inspiral chirp) and (ii) a stochastic background, which requires a multi-detector signal processing algorithm. The methods should be easy to implement: they amount to truncation or clipping of sample values which lie in the outlier part of the probability distribution.

Survey tool_tourists' attitutes towards climate change and related policies on islands

description: The main aim of this survey is to analyse tourists' aversion to climate change risks and preferences for adaptation policies on islands destinations. In this survey, tourists are asked how they would choose between adaptation policies , or change their choice of islands facing climate change impacts, as well as about their perceptions of the image of these destinations, socio-economic characteristics, and some other information about the tourist trip. The main part of the survey is concerned with the choice cards. In the choice scenarios, two alternative sets of adaptation policies to climate change impacts are presented, and tourists are asked to choose between one of the options for which they had to pay an extra price per day during their stay, or the alternative of “no policy option” (at price 0 €). These policies are described with the aid of words and images. The discrete choice questions should allow to estimate how much tourists do value (WTP) the potential adaptation policies that could be implemented at island destinations. By applying a Bayesian efficient design, a set of 12 combinations was obtained. The interviewees are presented with 6 different choice sets of policy alternatives. Thus, six survey models are utilised each of them with different combination of policies and impacts. Designing a discrete choice survey requires to consider different aspects until a reliable questionnaire instrument is obtained. The selection of attributes and the policies included in the different questions asked to tourists has been obtained from a combination of existing studies in the literature and the expertise of the researchers working on the project. In addition, the focus groups (FG) meetings conducted at 6 different islands of the project were essential for the design and pre-testing of the questionnaire, leading to an assessment of its effectiveness according to the research needs. Therefore, FG allowed the research team to carefully assess that the questionnaire was going to be clearly understood by the respondents as intended by researchers. The following steps involved running pre-test samplings of improved versions of the questionnaires until a final set of instruments was fully validated. In this case, a larger group of participants was required to be surveyed in a second pre-testing step. Participants in pre-tests were asked to fill in the surveys as if they were the final versions, in order for researchers to double-check whether the questionnaires were well designed or whether they needed further modifications.

description: We present a novel mechanism for realistic electroweak symmetry breaking in Twin Higgs/neutral naturalness models where the $Z_2$ exchange symmetry can remain exactly unbroken. The exchange symmetry in the Yukawa sector will be implemented as an "N-trigonometric parity" $\sin N \frac{h}{f} \leftrightarrow \cos N \frac{h}{f}$. The Yukawa couplings will be suppressed leading to an N-suppressed Higgs quadratic term, without significantly affecting the quartic. We present a concrete implementation of this idea for general (odd) values of N using maximal symmetry, and a realistic benchmark model for $N=3$. We find that the tuning in the resulting Higgs potential is negligible, and also show that two-loop N-suppression violating gauge contributions can be sufficiently small. The Higgs potential and its couplings in top sector are different from other neutral naturalness models, which are the main predictions of our model and can be tested in colliders.

Cross-spectral analysis of the X-ray variability of Mrk 421
Creators: name: Zhang, Y. H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using the cross-spectral method, we confirm the existence of the X-ray hard lags discovered with cross-correlation function technique during a large flare of Mrk 421 observed with BeppoSAX . For the 0.1--2 versus 2--10keV light curves, both methods suggest sub-hour hard lags. In the time domain, the degree of hard lag, i.e., the amplitude of the 3.2--10 keV photons lagging the lower energy ones, tends to increase with the decreasing energy. In the Fourier frequency domain, by investigating the cross-spectra of the 0.1--2/2--10 keV and the 2--3.2/3.2--10 keV pairs of light curves, the flare also shows hard lags at the lowest frequencies. However, with the present data, it is impossible to constrain the dependence of the lags on frequencies even though the detailed simulations demonstrate that the hard lags at the lowest frequencies probed by the flare are not an artifact of sparse sampling, Poisson and red noise. As a possible interpretation, the implication of the hard lags is discussed in the context of the interplay between the (diffusive) acceleration and synchrotron cooling of relativistic electrons responsible for the observed X-ray emission. The energy-dependent hard lags are in agreement with the expectation of an energy-dependent acceleration timescale. The inferred magnetic field (B ~ 0.11 Gauss) is consistent with the value inferred from the Spectral Energy Distributions of the source. Future investigations with higher quality data that whether or not the time lags are energy-/frequency-dependent will provide a new constraint on the current models of the TeV blazars.

description: For at least a decade, supermarket operators have turned increasingly to fresh foods for the strategic direction of their business by remodeling existing stores and building new stores to feature and emphasize produce, the delicatessen, the bakery, and other perishable departments. These departments have been the fastest growing and offer the greatest future sales potential as consumer demand for "fresh" and "ready to eat" prepared foods continues to grow. Despite these prospects, little is actually known about how consumers perceive and respond to product offerings and retailer initiatives in perishable departments. The objective ofthis report is to shed light on consumer attitudes and behavior with respect to one of the major supermarket perishable departments: the bakery. This report is based on a study which incorporated both primary and secondary sources of data (details in Section II). The primary data were collected through consumer surveys conducted nationwide by telephone and in-person at supermarkets in several regional market areas. A total of 700 consumers were surveyed. Additional primary data and insights were gathered through personal interviews with key supermarket bakery executives. Secondary data were gathered from trade reports, academic journals, and previously published research. The empirical results and analyses presented in Section III include such key findings as: • consumers consider convenience the most important reason for shopping supermarket bakeries, • the main reason some consumers do not buy baked goods in supermarkets is "freshness," which is perceived to be better at local bakeries, • consumer awareness of health and nutrition concerns is greater than consumer knowledge about these issues, • about half of consumers are familiar with the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Guide Pyramid, but the percentage varies greatly by age with the youngest shoppers being most familiar, • consumers rate many of the most popular retailer promotional efforts as uninfluential factors in their purchase decisions, and • price plays only a minor role in bakery purchase decisions for most consumers. The implications of these findings and others are discussed in Section IV which also discusses opportunities for the supermarket bakery industry to respond to the consumer characteristics and issues identified in this study. The results present many marketing challenges for supermarket bakery managers as consumers increasingly make bakery decisions based on knowledge of health, nutrition, and other issues.

description: A five-year study was conducted to analyze the economic results of growing grapes using conventional management practices compared with organic management practices. Grape cultivars evaluated in the project were Concord, Elvira, and Seyval. Growing costs were higher for each cultivar in each season, Le. for 15 comparisons for the organic system. Operations which were especially costly in the organic system were fertilization, tillage operations which replaced herbicides used in the conventional system, and hand hoeing which was occasionally necessary to supplement weed control in the organic system. The organic system, however, had a clear advantage in most seasons in the cost of spraying operations. The results of this five-year study suggest that grapes can be successfully grown using organic management practices, although at a higher cost, than is necessary for conventional management systems. Growing costs were from 69 to 91 percent higher, depending upon variety. Yield per acre for the organic system compared to the conventional system over the five years was 22 percent lower for the Concord variety, five percent lower for the Elvira variety, and 35 percent lower for the Seyval Blanc variety. The incidence of higher costs and lower returns meant that returns to management (a measure of profitability) were significantly lower for the organic management practices for all three varieties. The most favorable economic results were obtained for the organic management practices employed with the Elvira vineyard, which showed a small profit for the average of the five seasons. A key to economic will be whether or not a price premium can be realized for organically grown grapes.

description: Continuous-variable (CV) cluster states are a universal quantum computing platform that has experimentally out-scaled qubit platforms by orders of magnitude. Room-temperature implementation of CV cluster states has been achieved with quantum optics by using multimode squeezed Gaussian states. It has also been proven that fault tolerance thresholds for CV quantum computing can be reached at realistic squeezing levels. In this paper, we show that standard approaches to design and characterize CV cluster states can miss entanglement present in the system. Such hidden entanglement may be used to increase the power of a quantum computer but it can also, if undetected, hinder the successful implementation of a quantum algorithm. By a detailed analysis of the structure of Gaussian states, we derive an algorithm that reveals hidden entanglement in an arbitrary Gaussian state and optimizes its use for one-way quantum computing.

description: Abnormally large stability of Pb nanostructures grown on metallic or semiconductor substrates has been observed even for heights of about 30 monolayers. Using both density-functional theory calculations and analytical models, we demonstrate that the stability at even higher coverages (N>30 ML) is supported by an extra second quantum beat pattern in the energetics of the metal film as a function of the number of atomic layers. This pattern is triggered by the butterflylike shape of the Fermi surface of lead in the (111) direction and supports the detection of stable magic islands of higher heights than measured up to now.

description: We present a review of recent results concerning the physics of ultracold trapped dipolar gases. In particular, we discuss the Bose-Einstein condensation for dipolar Bose gases and the BCS transition for dipolar Fermi gases. In both cases we stress the dominant role of the trap geometry in determining the properties of the system. We present also results concerning bosonic dipolar gases in optical lattices and the possibility of obtaining variety of different quantum phases in such case. Finally, we analyze various possible routes towards achieving ultracold dipolar gases.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: The resistance to insect invasion of fiberboard drums and wooden barrels in which nonfat dry milk is packed for storage under the Government price-support purchase program is of considerable concern to both the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) and the producers of the milk. If the drums and barrels are tight enough to prevent invasion by species of dermestid beetles, any infestation found in stored dry milk must originate before or at the time of packaging, and the producer must concentrate on measures at the plant to prevent this occurrence. If, on the contrary, the barrels and drums are readily invaded by the insects, measures to improve the containers or control the sources of infestation in the warehouse are needed. Experiments were conducted at Madison, Wis., during the period 1955 to 1957 to study the resistance of the containers to insect invasion and to explore the possibilities of treating the containers with insecticides to improve their resistance if such were necessary. These experiments were made in cooperation with the Livestock and Dairy Division, Commodity Stabilization Service.

description: This summary and analysis of 321 New York dairy farm businesses demonstrates the use of cash accounting and accrual adjustments to measure farm profitability, cash flow, financial performance, and costs of producing milk. Traditional methods of analyzing dairy farm businesses are combined with improved evaluation techniques to show the relationship between good management performance and financial success. These farms averaged 151 cows per farm and 20,091 pounds of milk sold per cow in 1994, which are above the average size and management level of all New York dairy farms. Net farm income excluding appreciation, which is the return to the operator's labor, management, capital, and other unpaid family labor, averaged $56,084 per farm. The rate of return including appreciation to all capital invested in the farm business averaged 5.5 percent in 1994.

Switching current noise and relaxation of ferroelectric domains
Creators: name: Tadic, Bosiljka

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We simulate field-induced nucleation and switching of domains in a three-dimensional model of ferroelectrics with quenched disorder and varying domain sizes. We study (1) bursts of the switching current at slow driving along the hysteresis loop (electrical Barkhausen noise) and (2) the polarization reversal when a strong electric field was applied and back-switching after the field was removed. We show how these processes are related to the underlying structure of domain walls, which in turn is controlled by the pinning at quenched local electric fields. When the depolarization fields of bound charges are properly screened we find that the fractal switching current noise may appear with two distinct universal behaviors. The critical depinning of plane domain walls determines the universality class in the case of weak random fields, whereas for large randomness the massive nucleation of domains in the bulk leads to different scaling properties. In both cases the scaling exponents decay logarithmically when the driving frequency is increased. The polarization reverses in the applied field as a power-law, while its relaxation in zero field is a stretch exponential function of time. The stretching exponent depends on the strength of pinning. The results may be applicable for uniaxial relaxor ferroelectrics, such as doped SBN:Ce.
