description: Today is quite clear that a key risk for any organization, what is the focus of all its deliberations - sustainability of business which they have. Given that the current focus is on growth and development, the focus of this paper is on the strategic management of sustainable development and operation of the four perspectives. Sustainability of the business is highest priority and with all available resources should be striving to that goal. Rise and executing business goals of the organization in terms of a profit increase from year to year for a long period of time does not necessarily mean a successful business, on the contrary overstatement it could mean the devastation of the organization. Awareness of this fact is necessary to be present in each organization, and to overcome all the other needs and short-term goals. The paper points out that each organization defines its sustainable development differently. More precisely it does from their own strategic perspective. When business conditions are bad, they all have short-term view, however, long-term aspect is necessary with the proper management of the organization, regardless of the current difficulties.
Spawning and merging of Fourier modes and phase coupling in cosmological density bispectrum

Publisher: name: arXiv

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

description: In the standard picture of cosmological structure formation, initially random-phase fluctuations are amplified by non-linear gravitational instability to produce a final distribution of mass which is highly non-Gaussian and has highly-coupled Fourier phases. We use the Zel'dovich approximation in one dimension to elucidate the onset of non-linearity including mode spawning, merging and coupling. We show that as gravitational clustering proceeds, Fourier modes are spawned from parent ones, with their phases following a harmonic relationship with the wavenumbers. Spawned modes could also merge leading to modulation of the amplitudes and phases which consequently breaks such harmonic relation. We also use simple toy models to demonstrate that bispectrum, Fourier transform of connected three-point correlation functions, measures phase coupling at most at the second-order only when the special wavenumber-phase harmonic relation holds. Phase information is therefore partly registered in bispectrum and it takes a complete hierarchy of polyspectra to fully characterize gravitational non-linearity.

description: Breaking news that seek to draw attention to the global crisis on its last legs (eg price per barrel of crude oil on the New York Stock Exchange and the price of Brent oil from the London Stock Exchange recorded a sharp decline), suggest that it is not superfluous to elaborate on the elements of the global financial crisis and its fundamental elements. The United States in 2007. years have shaken major financial crisis caused by problems in the mortgage market. A huge number of the debtor was unable to repay their loan obligations and U.S. banking giants had big expectations for earnings just on these loans, they found themselves at the edge of bankruptcy. However, the crisis did not stop only on the mortgage loan, but is still manifesting itself as the trigger which caused a domino effect on the U.S. financial market. Detailed retrospective of the events shows that the U.S. during 90th years experience of real economic growth and reinforce its position as the most powerful economic countries in the world. As such, the U.S. has become the safest place to invest capital and huge sums of money, and counted billions of dollars are continously streamed into the United States. This led to the illusion that capital inflows into U.S. economy will be a constant and can enter into risky investments, which in the case of success brought incredible profits. However, the crisis of the U.S. housing market, which has already brought thousands of American citizens lose the roof over their heads, but also caused a devastating crisis in the financial market around the world, will probably be remembered as the worst financial crisis ever in the history of the United States. The begining of the crisis caused by relaxed lending policies of the U.S. banks, which were in 2001. have started to grant mortgage loans to people with lower credit rating, at the time when the U.S. housing market recorded the great expansion. But the basic reason for such a high-risk transactions that were taking on U.S. banks can hardly be a concern for the vulnerable groups. The reason, primarily to be found in the fact that U.S. Bank mortgage loans seen as one of the most important sources of income in the future.

description: General economy equilibrium is a theoretical concept referring to a state in economy where there exists balance in economy in whole. Practically, this state exists when general social supply equals general social demand. Equilibrium may refer to separate markets or relative price equilibrium, or it can be global. In that case it binds to general price level, whwther it is stabile, raising or decending. Trend of general price level rising is present worldwide, along with instabilities in economies, which causes the century we live in to be procalimed as “inflation century”.

Improved Simulation of Stabilizer Circuits

description: The Gottesman-Knill theorem says that a stabilizer circuit -- that is, a quantum circuit consisting solely of CNOT, Hadamard, and phase gates -- can be simulated efficiently on a classical computer. This paper improves that theorem in several directions. First, by removing the need for Gaussian elimination, we make the simulation algorithm much faster at the cost of a factor-2 increase in the number of bits needed to represent a state. We have implemented the improved algorithm in a freely-available program called CHP (CNOT-Hadamard-Phase), which can handle thousands of qubits easily. Second, we show that the problem of simulating stabilizer circuits is complete for the classical complexity class ParityL, which means that stabilizer circuits are probably not even universal for classical computation. Third, we give efficient algorithms for computing the inner product between two stabilizer states, putting any n-qubit stabilizer circuit into a "canonical form" that requires at most O(n^2/log n) gates, and other useful tasks. Fourth, we extend our simulation algorithm to circuits acting on mixed states, circuits containing a limited number of non-stabilizer gates, and circuits acting on general tensor-product initial states but containing only a limited number of measurements.

description: This study analyses the path-dependencies of past, current and future agricultural policies. The research is based on the futures-research methodologies and foresight methods. The data was collected in a series of workshops with an aim to define path-ways for future agricultural policies in Finland. Our results show that horizontal path-dependencies of agri-environmental policies in Finland started to evolve from the 1980s. Focus has been on nutrient run-offs, soil erosion, water quality, among others. Current policy aims to take wider view based on ecosystem services. For the future policies, the main breaking-point identified is the role of agriculture in the climate change mitigation. The changing demands of future policies will challenge policy design. It is quite likely, that to respond to the increasing demand for agri-environmental policies, a shift from sector policy towards wider system-based pol-icies is required.

description: The structure of a star's coronal magnetic field is a fundamental property that governs the high-energy emission from the hot coronal gas and the loss of mass and angular momentum in the stellar wind. It is, however, extremely difficult to measure. We report a new method to trace this structure in rapidly-rotating young convective stars, using the cool gas trapped on coronal field lines as markers. This gas forms "slingshot prominences" which appear as transient absorption features in H-$α$. By using different methods of extrapolating this field from the surface measurements, we determine locations for prominence support and produce synthetic H-$α$ stacked spectra. The absorption features produced with a potential field extrapolation match well this those observed, while those from a non-potential field do not. In systems where the rotation and magnetic axes are well aligned, up to $50\%$ of the prominence mass may transit the star and so produces a observable feature. This fraction may fall as low as $~2\%$ in very highly inclined systems. Ejected prominences carry away mass and angular momentum at rates that vary by two orders of magnitude, but which may approach those carried by the stellar wind.

description: We present an \xmm mosaic observation of the hot ($kT\sim6.5$ keV) and nearby ($z=0.0881$) relaxed cluster of galaxies A478. We derive precise gas density, gas temperature, gas mass and total mass profiles up to $12\arcmin$ (about half of the virial radius $R_{200}$). The gas density profile is highly peaked towards the center and the surface brightness profile is well fitted by a sum of three $β$--models. The derived gas density profile is in excellent agreement, both in shape and in normalization, with the published Chandra density profile (measured within $5\arcmin$ of the center). Projection and PSF effects on the temperature profile determination are thoroughly investigated. The derived radial temperature structure is as expected for a cluster hosting a cooling core, with a strong negative gradient at the cluster center. The temperature rises from $\sim2$ keV up to a plateau of $\sim6.5$ keV beyond 2' (i.e. $r>208\rm{kpc}=0.1 R_{200}$, $R_{200}=2.08$ Mpc being the virial radius). From the temperature profile and the density profile and under the hypothesis of hydrostatic equilibrium, we derived the total mass profile of A478 down to 0.01 and up to 0.5 the virial radius. We tested different dark matter models against the observed mass profile. The Navarro, Frenk & White (\cite{navarro97}) model is significantly preferred to other models. It leads to a total mass of $M_{200}=1.1\times 10^{15}$ M$_\odot$ for a concentration parameter of $c=4.2\pm0.4$. The gas mass fraction slightly increases with radius. The gas mass fraction at a density contrast of $δ=2500$ is $\fgas=0.13\pm0.02$, consistent with previous results on similar hot and massive clusters. We confirm the excess of absorption in the direction of A478.[abridged]

Digital Reproductions of Authentic Materials for Teaching Early American History: Opportunities and Challenges for Networking Multilingual Records and Historic Maps
Creators: name: Padgett, Laina Madeline W
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2012

description: Traditionally, textbooks treating early American history have been written with Anglo-American biases. While many facts are irrefutable, certain socio-cultural perspectives have tainted the multicultural reality of American history. In conventional textbooks, initial English colonies are prominent, yet settlements established contemporaneously by the French and Spanish receive little attention. Growth of Britain's thirteen colonies is presented. However, Spanish development (Florida, Mexico) and French establishments (Canada, Mississippi, Gulf of Mexico) are hardly mentioned. After the American Revolution, the focus is on the nation's westward expansion, including the Louisiana Purchase and Lewis and Clark's Expedition. Yet germane facts remain neglected: Napoleon sold Louisiana due to political uprisings in Saint-Domingue. Sacagawea was indispensable to the success of Lewis and Clark, who might not have survived without her unique communicative capabilities in several Native American languages. Appreciation for America's multicultural past could be enriched by linking multi-perspective narratives to digital reproductions of historic maps, letters, journals, treatises, etc. written in English and other languages. Unfortunately, many historic documents remain inaccessible. This study first considers incorporation of authentic digital resources into educational materials and then explores tensions between "fair use" and institutions' claims of copyright protection over reproductions of public domain works housed in their collections.

description: Abstract: Purpose: We studied the effects of a physical activity and dietary intervention on plasma lipids in a general population of children. We also investigated how lifestyle changes contributed to the intervention effects. Methods: We carried out a 2-year controlled, non-randomized lifestyle intervention study among 504 mainly prepubertal children aged 6–9 years at baseline. We assigned 306 children to the intervention group and 198 children to the control group. We assessed plasma concentrations of total, LDL, HDL, and VLDL cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL triglycerides, and VLDL triglycerides. We evaluated the consumption of foods using 4-day food records and physical activity using a movement and heart rate sensor. We analyzed data using linear mixed-effect models adjusted for age at baseline, sex, and pubertal stage at both time points. Furthermore, specific lifestyle variables were entered in these models. Results: Plasma LDL cholesterol decreased in the intervention group but did not change in the control group ( − 0.05 vs. 0.00 mmol/L, regression coefficient (β) = − 0.0385, p = 0.040 for group*time interaction). This effect was mainly explained by the changes in the consumption of high-fat vegetable oil-based spreads (β = − 0.0203, + 47% change in β) and butter-based spreads (β = − 0.0294, + 30% change in β), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (β = − 0.0268, + 30% change in β), light physical activity (β = − 0.0274, + 29% change in β) and sedentary time (β = − 0.0270, + 30% change in β). The intervention had no effect on other plasma lipids. Conclusion: Lifestyle intervention resulted a small decrease in plasma LDL cholesterol concentration in children. The effect was explained by changes in quality and quantity of dietary fat and physical activity. Clinical Trial Registry Number: NCT01803776, ClinicalTrials.gov

description: We report on optical polarimetric observations of two Apollo type near-Earth asteroids, (422699) 2000 PD3 and (3200) Phaethon, and BVRI photometric observations of 2000 PD3 using the 1.6m Pirka telescope in 2017. We derived the geometric albedo of pv = 0.22 +- 0.06 and the color indices (B-V = 0.282 +- 0.072, V-R = 0.198 +- 0.035 and V-I = 0.203 +- 0.022) for 2000 PD3 which are consistent with those of S-type asteroids (including Q-types). The effective diameter of 2000 PD3 was derived as 0.69 +- 0.15 km using our derived geometric albedo. We found that our polarimetric data of Phaethon in 2017 is deviated from the polarimetric profile taken at different epoch of 2016 using the identical instrument setting (Ito et al., 2018). This result suggests that Phaethon would have a regional heterogeneity in grain size and/or albedo on its surface.

description: The accurate segmentation and tracking of cells in microscopy image sequences is an important task in biomedical research, e.g., for studying the development of tissues, organs or entire organisms. However, the segmentation of touching cells in images with a low signal-to-noise-ratio is still a challenging problem. In this paper, we present a method for the segmentation of touching cells in microscopy images. By using a novel representation of cell borders, inspired by distance maps, our method is capable to utilize not only touching cells but also close cells in the training process. Furthermore, this representation is notably robust to annotation errors and shows promising results for the segmentation of microscopy images containing in the training data underrepresented or not included cell types. For the prediction of the proposed neighbor distances, an adapted U-Net convolutional neural network (CNN) with two decoder paths is used. In addition, we adapt a graph-based cell tracking algorithm to evaluate our proposed method on the task of cell tracking. The adapted tracking algorithm includes a movement estimation in the cost function to re-link tracks with missing segmentation masks over a short sequence of frames. Our combined tracking by detection method has proven its potential in the IEEE ISBI 2020 Cell Tracking Challenge (http://celltrackingchallenge.net/) where we achieved as team KIT-Sch-GE multiple top three rankings including two top performances using a single segmentation model for the diverse data sets.

Remote ischaemic preconditioning

description: Abstract: Stroke remains one of the most common causes of death and disability worldwide. Several preclinical studies demonstrated that the brain can be effectively protected against ischaemic stroke by two seemingly distinct treatments: remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC), involving cycles of ischaemia/reperfusion applied to a peripheral organ or tissue, or by systemic administration of glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP-1R) agonists. The mechanisms underlying RIC- and GLP-1-induced neuroprotection are not completely understood. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that GLP-1 mediates neuroprotection induced by RIC and investigated the effect of GLP-1R activation on cerebral blood vessels, as a potential mechanism of GLP-1-induced protection against ischaemic stroke. A rat model of ischaemic stroke (90 min of middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by 24-h reperfusion) was used. RIC was induced by 4 cycles of 5 min left hind limb ischaemia interleaved with 5-min reperfusion periods. RIC markedly (by ~ 80%) reduced the cerebral infarct size and improved the neurological score. The neuroprotection established by RIC was abolished by systemic blockade of GLP-1R with a specific antagonist Exendin(9–39). In the cerebral cortex of GLP-1R reporter mice, ~ 70% of cortical arterioles displayed GLP-1R expression. In acute brain slices of the rat cerebral cortex, activation of GLP-1R with an agonist Exendin-4 had a strong dilatory effect on cortical arterioles and effectively reversed arteriolar constrictions induced by metabolite lactate or oxygen and glucose deprivation, as an ex vivo model of ischaemic stroke. In anaesthetised rats, Exendin-4 induced lasting increases in brain tissue PO2, indicative of increased cerebral blood flow. These results demonstrate that neuroprotection against ischaemic stroke established by remote ischaemic conditioning is mediated by a mechanism involving GLP-1R signalling. Potent dilatory effect of GLP-1R activation on cortical arterioles suggests that the neuroprotection in this model is mediated via modulation of cerebral blood flow and improved brain perfusion.

description: In 1972, processed food exports used more skilled labor per unit of output than processed food imports. By 1992, this situation had reversed and the skill intensity of processed food trade had switched. Higher meat and poultry exports compared with other processed food trade could explain this switch in skill intensity. The growth in meat trade paralleled an urban-to-rural shift in the meat packing and poultry processing sectors. Because rural areas have a greater share of low-skilled workers in their labor force and have fewer employment opportunities for their workers, this may appear to be a win-win situation for rural areas. However, the jobs slaughtering livestock and processing meat often do not appeal to domestic rural workers. When sufficient domestic rural workers are not available, accommodating a larger share of commuter and migrant workers has challenged some rural communities that host meat processing plants.

description: A search is presented for fractionally charged particles with charge below 1$e$, using their small energy loss in the tracking detector as a key variable to observe a signal. The analyzed data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV in 2016-2018 at the CERN LHC. This is the first search at the LHC for new particles with charges between $e/$3 and 0.9$e$, including an extension of previous results at a charge of 2$e/$3. Masses up to 640 GeV and charges as low as $e/$3 are excluded at 95% confidence level. These are the most stringent limits to date for the considered Drell-Yan-like production mode.

In dieser Arbeit wird dargestellt, wie in einer Zerkleinerungseinheit diese Grundoperationen kombiniert werden können und somit Produkte wie Milch und Pickering Emulsionen effizienter hergestellt werden können. Mit der neuen Simultanen Emulgier und Misch-Technik wird es damit möglich, sowohl neue Prozesse, die effizienter und einfacher sind, als auch neue Produkte wie emulgatorfreie Suspensionen zu entwickeln.

description: Following the newly formulated notion of form invariance of the neutrino mass matrix, a complete model of leptons is constructed. It is based on a specific unitary 3 X 3 matrix U in family space, such that U^2 is the simple discrete symmetry nu_e to -nu_e, nu_mu to nu_tau. Thus U also generates the cyclic group Z_4. The charged-lepton mass matrix is nearly diagonal while the neutrino mass matrix is of the form suitable for explaining maximal (large) mixing in atmospheric (solar) neutrino oscillations in the context of three nearly degenerate neutrino masses. Observable lepton flavor violation is predicted. Quarks may be treated in the same way as the charged leptons.

description: We study the role that global and local nonabelian symmetries play in two-dimensional lattice gauge theories with multicomponent scalar fields. We start from a maximally O($M$)-symmetric multicomponent scalar model, Its symmetry is partially gauged to obtain an SU($N_c$) gauge theory (scalar chromodynamics) with global U$(N_f)$ (for $N_c\ge 3$) or Sp($N_f$) symmetry (for $N_c=2$), where $N_f>1$ is the number of flavors. Correspondingly, the fields belong to the coset $S^M$/SU($N_c$) where $S^M$ is the $M$-dimensional sphere and $M=2 N_f N_c$. In agreement with the Mermin-Wagner theorem, the system is always disordered at finite temperature and a critical behavior only develops in the zero-temperature limit. Its universal features are investigated by numerical finite-size scaling methods. The results show that the asymptotic low-temperature behavior belongs to the universality class of the 2D CP$^{N_f-1}$ field theory for $N_c>2$, and to that of the 2D Sp($N_f$) field theory for $N_c=2$. These universality classes correspond to 2D statistical field theories associated with symmetric spaces that are invariant under Sp($N_f$) transformations for $N_c=2$ and under SU($N_f$) for $N_c > 2$. These symmetry groups are the same invariance groups of scalar chromodynamics, apart from a U(1) flavor symmetry that is present for $N_f \ge N_c > 2$, which does not play any role in determining the asymptotic behavior of the model.

Three Layers: investigating the potential of data, records and context
Creators: name: Jones, Michael
name: McCarthy, Gavin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2012

description: The University of Melbourne's eScholarship Research Centre is currently working on a number of projects requiring the preparation, submission, preservation and dissemination of multiple types of information. Work on the Saulwick Age-Poll Archive involves paper-based and digital archives, a digital guide to records, micro-data from political polls managed by the Australian Data Archive (ADA), and the proposed development of a context layer to maintain authoritative information on key people, organisations, events and subjects. Similarly, work on important historical social science data collected by Wilfred Prest and the Reverend Robert Richard U'Ren has involved extracting that data from hard-copy archival records for deposit with ADA. Drawing on these examples, we will explore the benefits of treating context, records and data as separate (but interrelated) 'layers', each with their own requirements and limitations. There are challenges involved, particularly when managing boundaries and information flows between each layer. Addressing these through effective collaboration between 'traditional' archives, data archives and contextual information managers is essential to success; and the needs of all three elements need to be considered and balanced to fully realise the potential of historical and current research data and related material.

A model for Hopfions on the space-time S^3 x R

description: We construct static and time dependent exact soliton solutions for a theory of scalar fields taking values on a wide class of two dimensional target spaces, and defined on the four dimensional space-time S^3 x R. The construction is based on an ansatz built out of special coordinates on S^3. The requirement for finite energy introduces boundary conditions that determine an infinite discrete spectrum of frequencies for the oscillating solutions. For the case where the target space is the sphere S^2, we obtain static soliton solutions with non-trivial Hopf topological charges. In addition, such hopfions can oscillate in time, preserving their topological Hopf charge, with any of the frequencies belonging to that infinite discrete spectrum.

description: This paper argues that the question whether there is rather a need for an agricultural policy for the environment or an environmental policy for agriculture requires to reflect on the question how to address trade-offs and synergies between agricultural and environmental objectives. In particular, the question is raised to which extend current agricultural policy presumptions are based on myths rather than facts. Scepticism about these presumptions are substantiated by reference to issues related to the ignorance of the heterogeneity of the agricultural sector, of the potential of overcoming unexploited returns to size and structural changes, as well as implications of sunk costs, ruinous competition and a subsidy trap which lead to a misunderstanding of the role and meaning of resilience in order to overcome path dependences of the sector as well as the policy formations.
Fundamental tone estimates for elliptic operators in divergence form and geometric applications

description: We establish a method for giving lower bounds for the fundamental tone of elliptic operators in divergence form in terms of the divergence of vector fields. We then apply this method to the $L_{r}$ operator associated to immersed hypersurfaces with locally bounded $(r+1)$-th mean curvature $H_{r+1}$ of the space forms $\mathbb{N}^{n+1}(c)$ of curvature $c$. As a corollary we give lower bounds for the extrinsic radius of closed hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{N}^{n+1}(c)$ with $H_{r+1}>0$ in terms of the $r$-th and $(r+1)$-th mean curvatures. Finally we observe that bounds for the Laplace eigenvalues essentially bound the eigenvalues of a self-adjoint elliptic differential operator in divergence form. This allows us to show that Cheeger's constant gives a lower bounds for the first nonzero $L_{r}$-eigenvalue of a closed hypersurface of $\mathbb{N}^{n+1}(c)$.

Crowdsourcing the Past with Addressing History
Creators: name: Macdonald, Stuart
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2012

description: The JISC-funded AddressingHistory project, led by the EDINA at the University of Edinburgh in partnership with the National Library of Scotland has created a online crowdsourcing tool and API which enables a broad spectrum of users (particularly local and family history groups, and genealogists) to combine data from digitised historical Scottish Post Office Directories (POD) for Edinburgh (1785, 1865, 1905 in the first instance), with contemporaneous historical maps. The technologies deployed are scalable for the full collection of 670 Post Office Directories covering the whole of Scotland. Phase 2 funding has developed functionality complementary to the original work and broadened geographic coverage of content. Work included spatial searching, and enhancing the geo-parsing process via discreet configuration files. Multiple addresses (i.e. entries where individuals have more than one domestic address) were also made explicit for searching purposes. Additional content for Edinburgh as well as Glasgow and Aberdeen (1881, 1886, 1891) to coincide with census (and an inter-census) years has been incorporated into the web tool, and a mobile Augmented Reality application will be added shortly. This presentation will discuss in more detail the social and technical approaches adopted in both phases of the project.

description: Different metalheteropoly acid salt catalysts were prepared by adding different metal ions (Fe, Co, Ni), and the structure of the materials was characterised by XRD, infrared, ultraviolet, fluorescence, etc., and heteropolyacid salt (TBA)4Hx[PW11M(Q)O39]·nH2O, wherein M = (Fe, Co, Ni) with Keggin-type structure was confirmed. A series of changes in the surface of the material after the addition of metal ions can be seen by scanning electron microscopy. The stability of the material was also experimentally designed and the material showed good stability. The prepared materials were subjected to the degradation of organophosphorus followed by O,O-diethyl-S-(p-tolyl) phosphorothioate as a degradation substrate. The catalytic performance of (TBA)4[PW11Fe(H2O)O39]·2H2O was found better among all synthesised materials, it degraded completely under visible light in 90 min, and degradations performance was analysed by ion chromatography by determining the presence of PO43-. In order to explore its degradation mechanism, ammonium oxalate (AO), isopropanol (IPA) and benzoquinone (BQ) were used to quench holes (h+), hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide radicals (•O2−). It was observed that the important role in the degradation reaction is due to •OH radicals and it was also confirmed through 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) spin capture electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technology validates this conclusion. The prepared photocatalysts (TBA)4[PW11Fe(H2O)O39]·2H2O can be better applied to the degradation of organic phosphorus, which can reduce the environmental pollution caused by the use of organic phosphorus.
