description: Актуальность темы статьи обусловлена не иссякающим к ней вниманием со стороны множества учёных в сфере юриспруденции и экономики, а также наличием длительного периода эволюции подходов к вопросу прозрачности централизованных финансов, как в России, так и за рубежом. Ещё не найдено окончательного и удовлетворяющего всех решения о необходимом уровне обеспечения прозрачности бюджетной системы на отдельных этапах бюджетного процесса и по отношению к каждой бюджетной процедуре. Поиск данного решения осложняется активным развитием цифровых технологий и их внедрением в бюджетные отношения, что порождает необходимость оперативной корректировки нормативных правовых актов, которыми они урегулированы. Целью исследования является выявление проблем обеспечения прозрачности бюджетной системы России с использованием таких инструментов цифровизации и управления государственными финансами, как сайты в сети Интернет, информационная система «Электронный бюджет», бюджетный калькулятор и обзоры бюджетных расходов. Применены научные методы описания, сравнения, обобщения, анализа, синтеза, а также формально-юридический, логический, исторический, гипотетико-дедуктивный и телеологический методы. В статье показано, что принцип прозрачности бюджетной системы исторически эволюционировал от способа установления доверия между обществом и государством к многофункциональной основе публичных финансов. Автор отмечает проблемы низкой доступности и качества информации о бюджетной системе, своевременности её раскрытия, особенно на этапах планирования и финансового контроля, а также в части показателей эффективности бюджетных расходов, существуют недостатки, связанные с ненадлежащим правовым обеспечением внедрения бюджетных калькуляторов и обзоров бюджетных расходов.

description: The non-Gaussian operations effected by adding or subtracting a photon on the entangled optical beams emerging from a parametric down-conversion process have been suggested to enhance entanglement. Heralded photon addition or subtraction is, as a matter of fact, at the heart of continuous-variable entanglement distillation. The use of such processes has recently been experimentally demonstrated in the context of the generation of optical coherent-state superpositions or the verification of the canonical commutation relations. Here, we carry out a systematic study of the effect of local photon additions or subtractions on a two-mode squeezed vacuum state, showing that the entanglement generally increases with the number of such operations. This is analytically proven when additions or subtractions are restricted to one mode only, while we observe that the highest entanglement is achieved when these operations are equally shared between the two modes. We also note that adding photons typically provides a stronger entanglement enhancement than subtracting photons, while photon subtraction performs better in terms of energy efficiency. Furthermore, we analyze the interplay between entanglement and non-Gaussianity, showing that it is more subtle than previously expected.

description: The First World War has been a neglected topic in Chinese historiography from 1918 to today. Although it was a point of attention among contemporaries, both nationalists and communists did not want to remember the war. This article uncovers three major shifts in First World War historiography in China: historization, politicization, and de-politicization. During the Republican period, nationalist historians struggled to develop a historical narrative for the war. Later, communist historians adopted a simplistic and negative view of the war. Abandoning the Marxist paradigm, Chinese historians today, however, have failed to offer an overall evaluation of China’s participation in the war.

Focal Sweep Camera for Space-Time Refocusing

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Computer science

description: A conventional camera has a limited depth of field (DOF), which often results in defocus blur and loss of image detail. The technique of image refocusing allows a user to interactively change the plane of focus and DOF of an image after it is captured. One way to achieve refocusing is to capture the entire light field. But this requires a significant compromise of spatial resolution. This is because of the dimensionality gap - the captured information (a light field) is 4-D, while the information required for refocusing (a focal stack) is only 3-D. In this paper, we present an imaging system that directly captures a focal stack by physically sweeping the focal plane. We first describe how to sweep the focal plane so that the aggregate DOF of the focal stack covers the entire desired depth range without gaps or overlaps. Since the focal stack is captured in a duration of time when scene objects can move, we refer to the captured focal stack as a duration focal stack. We then propose an algorithm for computing a space-time in-focus index map from the focal stack, which represents the time at which each pixel is best focused. The algorithm is designed to enable a seamless refocusing experience, even for textureless regions and at depth discontinuities. We have implemented two prototype focal-sweep cameras and captured several duration focal stacks. Results obtained using our method can be viewed at www.focalsweep.com.

description: Introduction: Understanding infectious disease transmissibility in the context of “place” is crucial for implementing disease control and harm reduction strategies. This study was aimed to determine the dynamics of spatial dispersion of COVID-19 in Malaysia and its associated indicators. Methodology: This ecological study included all active COVID-19 cases between 22nd January 2021 and 4th February 2021 using secondary data from multiple sources. Incidence, Bayesian incidence, global and local Moran indices were calculated. A geographical weighted regression (GWR) analysis in addition to ordinary least squares regression (OLS) was executed to assess the relationships between incidence of COVID-19 with population level socio-economic and health coverage indicators. All analyses were conducted using SPSS and Geo Da software.  Results: A total of 51,476 cases were included in the analysis. The global Moran's index of incidence rate was 0.499 (P=0.01), indicative of positive spatial autocorrelation with high standards between districts and regions. The Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) maps identified spatial clusters, particularly the main high-high patterns in Central and Southern regions, and low-low concentrated districts in Northern and Borneo regions of Malaysia. The GWR yielded average income per capita and population density as two crucial population level indicators of COVID-19 dispersion in Malaysia (P<0.001). Discussion: Incidence cases were highly clustered within the Central Region of Malaysia, configuring that propagation occurs rapidly in highly populous places.1 The significantly positive indicator of population density yielded via GWR confirmed this association, consistent with a study from Brazil.2 ➢ Average income per capita was significantly associated with incidence cases. Within metropolitans with rapid economic activities, it could be anticipated higher income per capita to facilitate population access in carrying out greater number of diagnostic tests, thus reporting cases escalation. Whereas districts with socioeconomic vulnerabilities reverberates prevention and control measures. Conclusion: The dispersion of COVID-19 in Malaysia was significantly associated with socio-economic indicators; average income per capita and population density.

Effective Dynamic Detection of Alias Analysis Errors

Subjects: Computer science

description: Alias analysis is perhaps one of the most crucial and widely used analyses, and has attracted tremendous research efforts over the years. Yet, advanced alias analyses are extremely difficult to get right, and the bugs in these analyses are most likely the reason that they have not been adopted to production compilers. This paper presents NEONGOBY, a system for effectively detecting errors in alias analysis implementations, improving their correctness and hopefully widening their adoption. NEONGOBY works by dynamically observing pointer addresses during the execution of a test program and then checking these addresses against an alias analysis for errors. It is explicitly designed to (1) be agnostic to the alias analysis it checks for maximum applicability and ease of use and (2) detect alias analysis errors that manifest on real-world programs and workloads. It reduces false positives and performance overhead using a practical selection of techniques. Evaluation on three popular alias analyses and real-world programs Apache and MySQL shows that NEONGOBY effectively finds 29 alias analysis bugs with only 2 false positives and reasonable overhead. To enable alias analysis builders to start using NEONGOBY today, we have released it open-source at https://github.com/wujingyue/neongoby, along with our error detection results and proposed patches.

FARE: A Framework for Benchmarking Reliability of Cyber-Physical Systems

Year: 2013
Subjects: Computer science

description: A cyber-physical system (CPS) is a system featuring a tight combination of, and coordination between, the system's computational and physical elements. System reliability is a critical requirement of cyber-physical systems. An unreliable CPS often leads to system malfunctions, service disruptions, financial losses and even human life. Improving CPS reliability requires an objective measurement, estimation and comparison of the CPS system reliability. This paper describes FARE (Failure Analysis and Reliability Estimation), a framework for benchmarking reliability of cyber-physical systems. Some prior researches have proposed reliability benchmark for some specific CPS such as wind power plant and wireless sensor networks. There were also some prior researches on the components of CPS such as software and some specific hardware. But according to the best of our knowledge, there isn't any reliability benchmark framework for CPS in general. FARE framework provides a CPS reliability model, a set of methods and metrics on the evaluation environment selection, failure analysis and reliability estimation for benchmarking CPS reliability. It not only provides a retrospect evaluation and estimation of the CPS system reliability using the past data, but also provides a mechanism for continuous monitoring and evaluation of CPS reliability for runtime enhancement. The framework is extensible for accommodating new reliability measurement techniques and metrics. It is also generic and applicable to a wide range of CPS applications. For empirical study, we applied the FARE framework on a smart building management system for a large commercial building in New York City. Our experiments showed that FARE is easy to implement, accurate for comparison and can be used for building useful industry benchmarks and standards after accumulating enough data.

description: In this Foreword to the book "Fostering computational thinking among underrepresented students in STEM: Strategies for supporting racially equitable computing" by Leonard and colleagues, first, I position the book in light of the troubled history of computing and technoscience, which has historically decentred Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). Then, I reflect directly on the chapters, and highlight three key emergent themes, that are epistemological and methodological commitments for thwarting the White gaze and centring the voices and experiences of BIPOC children, youth and students. I conclude with a return to solidarity, and overall, emphasize the value of recognizing cultural and computational heterogeneity in reorienting computing education toward racially equitable futures.
Variational learning for latent Gaussian model of discrete data
Creators: name: Khan, Mohammad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis focuses on the variational learning of latent Gaussian models for discrete data. The learning is difficult since the discrete-data likelihood is not conjugate to the Gaussian prior. Existing methods to solve this problem are either inaccurate or slow. We consider a variational approach based on evidence lower bound optimization. We solve the following two main problems of the variational approach: the computational inefficiency associated with the maximization of the lower bound and the intractability of the lower bound. For the first problem, we establish concavity of the lower bound and design fast learning algorithms using concave optimization. For the second problem, we design tractable and accurate lower bounds, some of which have provable error guarantees. We show that these lower bounds not only make accurate variational learning possible, but can also give rise to algorithms with a wide variety of speed-accuracy trade-offs. We compare various lower bounds, both theoretically and experimentally, giving clear design guidelines for variational algorithms. Through application to real-world data, we show that the variational approach can be more accurate and faster than existing methods.

description: A generalization to the theory of massive gravity is presented which includes three dynamical metrics. It is shown that at the linear level, the theory predicts a massless spin-2 field which is decoupled from the other two gravitons which are massive and interacting. In this regime the matter naturally should be coupled to massless graviton which introduces a preferred metric that is the average of the primary metrics. The cosmological solution of the theory shows the de-Sitter behavior with a function of mass as its cosmological constant. Surprisingly, it lacks any non-trivial solution when one of the metrics is taken to be Minkowskian and seems to enhance the predictions which suggests that there is no homogeneous, isotropic and flat solution for the standard massive cosmology.

description: An exploration of the dynamically generated $Λ$ and $Σ$ resonances has been made in the vector meson-baryon (VB) systems coupled to pseudoscalar meson-baryon (PB) channels. The VB interactions are obtained from the Lagrangians written within the hidden local symmetry which, in addition to Yukawa-type vector-baryon-baryon (VBB) vertices, naturally gives rise to a contact interaction. Using the VBB vertices, we calculate the $t$-, $s$- and $u$-channel diagrams considering the octet baryon exchange in the latter two cases. For the PB channels we rely on the the Weingberg-Tomozawa interactions and calculate the PB $\leftrightarrow$ VB transition amplitudes extending the Kroll-Ruderman theorem by replacing the photon by the vector mesons. In addition to the low-lying $Λ(1405)$, $Λ(1670)$ found in previous works, we find resonances which coincide well with: $Λ(2000)$, $Σ(1750) S_{11}$, $Σ(1940) D_{13}$, $Σ(2000) S_{11}$ and predict three $Λ^*$'s with $J^π= 3/2^-$ and masses: $1754 - i2$ MeV, $1862 - i33$ MeV, $2139 - i14$ MeV together with a broad $1/2^-$ $Σ^*$ with mass $\sim$ 1430 MeV. We find that most of these next-to-low-lying states couple weakly with the pseudoscalar mesons, which implies that it is important to study the reactions with VB final states in order to obtain a reliable information on the properties of such resonances.

description: Uncertainty relations state that there exist certain incompatible measurements, to which the outcomes cannot be simultaneously predicted. While the exact incompatibility of quantum measurements dictated by such uncertainty relations can be inferred from the mathematical formalism of quantum theory, the question remains whether there is any more fundamental reason for the uncertainty relations to have this exact form. What, if any, would be the operational consequences if we were able to go beyond any of these uncertainty relations? We give a strong argument that justifies uncertainty relations in quantum theory by showing that violating them implies that it is also possible to violate the second law of thermodynamics. More precisely, we show that violating the uncertainty relations in quantum mechanics leads to a thermodynamic cycle with positive net work gain, which is very unlikely to exist in nature.

Acquisition of transparent refractive media
Creators: name: Atcheson, Bradley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Transparent refractive media are invisible but for the distortions they impart upon a background scene. Computerised acquisition of such media can therefore often not be performed via traditional scanning methods. By capturing refracted backgrounds rather than reflections off the target media itself, we develop techniques for reconstructing the intervening refractive index distribution for both static and time-varying media. The approach is based on tracking optical distortions and then performing tomographic reconstruction. For multi-view tomography we first require a suitably calibrated camera array. To this end we show how to temporally synchronise and geometrically calibrate an array of consumer-grade video cameras that can scale to larger sizes, and at lower cost, than a comparative array of machine vision cameras. For media of low dynamic refractive index range, such as mixing gases, we show how to acquire data and formulate a linear least-squares problem to solve for the refractive index distribution. Unlike traditional methods of fluid flow measurement, ours is non-invasive and fully volumetric. For materials of higher dynamic refractive index range, we develop an alternative acquisition method based on temporally-encoded structured light patterns. Media causing significant distortion of light rays give rise to a large, nonlinear inverse problem. Results indicate that grid resolution relative to the minimum refractive feature size is a key factor limiting the accuracy of reconstructions.

description: The structure of domain walls determines to a large extent the properties of magnetic materials, in particular their hardness and switching behavior, it represents an essential ingredient of spintronics. Common domain walls are of Bloch and Neel types in which the magnetization rotates around a fixed axis, giving rise to a one-dimensional magnetization profile. Domain walls in helical magnets, most relevant in multiferroics, were never studied systematically. Here we show that domain walls in helical magnets are fundamentally different from Bloch and Neel walls. They are generically characterized by a two-dimensional pattern formed by a regular lattice of vortex singularities. In conical phases vortices carry Berry phase flux giving rise to the anomalous Hall effect. In multiferroics vortices are charged, allowing to manipulate magnetic domain walls by electric fields. Our theory allows the interpretation of magnetic textures observed in helical magnetic structures.

description: A chromosome-level genome assembly of pale eelpout (Lycodes pallidus) was created by integrating Illumina, PacBio circular consensus, and Hi-C sequencing technologies (BioProject accession number: PRJNA1231400). The final assembly spans a length of 753,345,134 bp with a scafford N50 of 28.58 Mb and a BUSCO completeness of 99.3%, indicating a high degree of completeness. Here, we present assembled and annotated results, including five files: (1) the final assembly of the genome (fLycpall_final_assembly.fa); (2) masked assembly sequence (fLycpall_final.masked.fa) produced by RepeatModeler2 v2.0.6 and RepeatMasker v4.1.7-p1; (3) General Feature Format file (fLycpall_final_braker3.gff3) and (4) protein sequence (fLycpall_final_braker3.aa) produced by BRAKER3 v3.0.7.6; and (5) functional annotation of genes (fLycpall_final_emapper.annotations) produced by eggNOG-mapper v2.1.12 combined with the eggNOG database (5.0.2). The BRAKER3 was empolyed by integrating evidence from RNA-seq reads, which were mapped to indexed soft-masked assembly using HISAT2 v2.2.1, and protein data from the vertebrate OrthoDB with GeneMark-ETP and AUGUSTUS.

description: Physics-based character simulation is an important open problem with potential applications in robotics and biomechanics and computer animation for films and games. In this thesis we develop controllers for the real-time simulation of several motion skills, including standing balance, walking, forward rolling, and lateral rolling on the ground. These controllers are constructed from a common set of components. We demonstrate that the combination of a suitable vocabulary of components and optimization has the potential to model a variety of skills.

description: Large collections of music audio are now common and present an interesting research opportunity: what statistical patterns and structure can be discovered across thousands or millions of examples?  Unfortunately, copyright restrictions can interfere with access to such collections, so we have developed the Million Song Dataset, including derived features but not the original audio, to support commercial-scale music analysis on a common, research database.  The audio features are augmented by a wide range of metadata including lyrics, tags, and listener playcounts.  Now the database is ready, we have begun analyzing the content, including tasks such as identifying cover songs -- significantly harder for such a large collection.

description: A chromosome-level genome assembly of pale eelpout (Lycodes pallidus) was created by integrating Illumina, PacBio circular consensus, and Hi-C sequencing technologies (BioProject accession number: PRJNA1231400). The final assembly spans a length of 753,345,134 bp with a scafford N50 of 28.58 Mb and a BUSCO completeness of 99.3%, indicating a high degree of completeness. Here, we present annotated results, including four files: (1) masked assembly sequence (fLycpall_final.masked.fa) produced by RepeatModeler2 v2.0.6 and RepeatMasker v4.1.7-p1; (2) General Feature Format file (fLycpall_final_braker3.gff3) and (3) protein sequence (fLycpall_final_braker3.aa) produced by BRAKER3 v3.0.7.6; and (4) functional annotation of genes (fLycpall_final_emapper.annotations) produced by eggNOG-mapper v2.1.12 combined with the eggNOG database (5.0.2). The BRAKER3 was empolyed by integrating evidence from RNA-seq reads, which were mapped to indexed soft-masked assembly using HISAT2 v2.2.1, and protein data from the vertebrate OrthoDB with GeneMark-ETP and AUGUSTUS.

description: When a group of people unknown to each other meet and familiarize among themselves, over time they form a community on a macroscopic scale. This phenomenon can be understood in the context of percolation transition (PT) of networks, which takes place continuously in the classical random graph model. Recently, a modified model was introduced in which the formation of the community was suppressed. Then the PT occurs explosively at a delayed transition time. Whether the explosive PT is indeed discontinuous or continuous becomes controversial. Here we show that type of PT depends on a detailed dynamic rule. Thus, when the dynamic rule is designed to suppress the growth of overall clusters, then the explosive PT could be discontinuous.

description: From 1916 to 1928, the Republic China was divided among military cliques in the regions of mainland China. Provincial military power holders, by proving the impotence of Beijing, undermined the efforts to centralize power and strengthened the forces of regionalism. Domestically, the legitimacy of the Beijing Government was challenged by Sun Yat-sen's Guangzhou based Kuomintang (KMT) Government in 1917. The Prime Minister Duan Qirui, who was a commander in the Beiyang Army, and President Li Yuanhong, had reached a deadlock in a dispute they were engaged in regarding how to join the European war. In the spring of 1917, the “''Dujun’s'' Tuan [Military Governor] rebellion” led to political turmoil. After the failure of the Zhang Xun Restoration, Duan agreed to compromise his long term goal of joining the European war in exchange for a series of secret loans with Japan, called the Nishihara Loans.

description: The scope of the commemorations that developed in Belgium and in the remainder of Europe showed the population’s need to keep the memory of World War I alive. The majority of Belgian municipalities erected their own war memorials through local subscription, without state support, which allowed the expression of local identity to go unhindered. Due to Belgium’s specific experience of war, memorials paid tribute not only to the soldiers (war heroes) but also to civilians (martyrs), to the civilians massacred in August 1914, the patriots killed by the Occupying Power, and to the deported workmen.

description: THGEMs (THick Gas Electron Multiplier) of varying thickness, hole diameter and hole pitch have been studied. For a thinner-THGEM of thickness 0.2 mm, with hole diameter 0.2 mm, pitch 0.2 mm and narrow (5-10 μm) rim, the performance of gain versus high voltage with different gas mixtures have been studied using 5.9 keV X-rays. In general, a gain of around 3\times10^3 was obtained with a single board in Ar/iC4H10, and gains higher than 10^4 were obtained in Ne mixture at lower voltage. The dependence of the energy resolution on the drift and induction electric fields was measured and an energy resolution of 15.9% was obtained. A curved thinner-THGEM chamber with one-dimensional readout has been assembled for use in the diffraction studies at the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF). A cosmic-ray muon hodoscope based on thinner-THGEM was developed as a teaching experiment for the Graduate University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (GUCAS).

description: From 1919 through the early 1920s, Americans energetically memorialized their role in the First World War. They built literally thousands of community monuments and functional memorials (such as buildings and parks), implemented an elegant scheme for battlefield commemoration in Europe, established Armistice Day as a national holiday, and emulated France and Great Britain by honoring an unknown soldier. There was no consensus, however, about the meaning of the war or the way in which it should be commemorated and remembered. As a result, collective memory of the conflict splintered into competing versions of the past and faded quickly.

description: In September 1999, an international conference took place at the University of Calgary, entitled Globalization 2000: Convergence or Divergence? The articles contained in this issue of Innovations are revised versions of some of the papers presented at the conference. In this introductory essay I wish to outline briefly the rationale underlying the G2000 conference. It seems to me that what made the project different from similar events can be cast in both substantive and organizational terms. I will reflect on both aspects in turn.

description: Until recently, the eastern theater of the First World War was what Winston Churchill called “the Unknown War.” It was not overlooked, as other fronts were, but unknown; while people knew of some battles (Tannenberg), the assumption was that the Eastern Front was simply a mirror of the Western Front. Instead of trench warfare and stalemate, however, the Eastern Front was the war everyone expected: it featured mass armies making sweeping movements, breakthroughs leading to tremendous advances, and innovation in both tactics and technology. Yet while the conflict proved decisive for both Russia and Austria-Hungary, the ultimate decision came elsewhere.

description: We study analytically the Ising model coupled to random lattices in dimension three and higher. The family of random lattices we use is generated by the large N limit of a colored tensor model generalizing the two-matrix model for Ising spins on random surfaces. We show that, in the continuum limit, the spin system does not exhibit a phase transition at finite temperature, in agreement with numerical investigations. Furthermore we outline a general method to study critical behavior in colored tensor models.
