description: The use of software applications is inevitable as they provide different services to users. The software applications collect, store users' data, and sometimes share with the third party, even without the user consent. One can argue that software developers do not implement privacy into the software applications they develop or take GDPR (General Data Protection Law) law into account. Failing to do this, may lead to software applications that open up privacy breaches (e.g. data breach). The GDPR law provides a set of guidelines for developers and organizations on how to protect user data when they are interacting with software applications. Previous research has attempted to investigate what hinders developers from embedding privacy into software systems. However, there has been no detailed investigation on why they cannot develop privacy-preserving systems taking GDPR into consideration, which is imperative to develop software applications that preserve privacy. Therefore, this paper investigates the issues that hinder software developers from implementing software applications taking GDPR law on-board. Our study findings revealed that developers are not familiar with GDPR principles. Even some of them are, they lack knowledge of the GDPR principles and their techniques to use when developing privacy-preserving software systems

description: The evolution of the federated relationship between local and regional cooperatives is examined from the perspective of local cooperatives’ need for commodity-based farm supplies and regional cooperatives’ identity as food companies. Because locals want many competing bids for the supplies they purchase, they resist a strong and close affiliation with regional cooperatives, which then find themselves with excess capacity. Regionals have responded by instituting tighter bonds with selected local cooperatives operating as "internal supply networks," in exchange for certain benefits. This adaptation reduces the impact of divergent goals among regionals and locals within the federated system.

description: A motile cell, when stimulated, shows a dramatic increase in the activity of its membrane, manifested by the appearance of dynamic membrane structures such as lamellipodia, filopodia and membrane ruffles. The external stimulus turns on membrane bound activators, like Cdc42 and PIP2, which cause increased branching and polymerization of the actin cytoskeleton in their vicinity leading to a local protrusive force on the membrane. The emergence of the complex membrane structures is a result of the coupling between the dynamics of the membrane, the activators and the protrusive forces. We present a simple model that treats the dynamics of a membrane under the action of actin polymerization forces that depend on the local density of freely diffusing activators on the membrane. We show that, depending on the spontaneous membrane curvature associated with the activators, the resulting membrane motion can be wave-like, corresponding to membrane ruffling and actin-waves, or unstable, indicating the tendency of filopodia to form. Our model also quantitatively explains a variety of related experimental observations and makes several testable predictions.

description: We calculate various azimuthal angle distributions for three jets produced in the forward rapidity region with transverse momenta $p_T>20\,\mathrm{GeV}$ in proton-proton (p-p) and proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions at center of mass energy $5.02\,\,\mathrm{TeV}$. We use the multi-parton extension of the so-called small-$x$ Improved Transverse Momentum Dependent factorization (ITMD). We study effects related to change from the standard $k_T$-factorization to ITMD factorization as well as changes as one goes from p-p collision to p-Pb. We observe rather large differences in the distribution when we change the factorization approach, which allows to both improve the small-$x$ TMD gluon distributions as well as validate and improve the factorization approach. We also see significant depletion of the nuclear modification ratio, indicating a possibility of searches for saturation effects using trijet final states in a more exclusive way than for dijets.

Splitting Supersymmetry in String Theory

description: We point out that type I string theory in the presence of internal magnetic fields provides a concrete realization of split supersymmetry. To lowest order, gauginos are massless while squarks and sleptons are superheavy. We build such realistic U(3)xU(2)xU(1) models on stacks of magnetized D9-branes. Though not unified into a simple group, these theories preserve the successful supersymmetric relation of gauge couplings, as they start out with equal SU(3) and SU(2) couplings and the correct initial sin^2θ_W at the compactification scale of M_{GUT}\simeq 2x10^{16} GeV, and they have the minimal low-energy particle content of split supersymmetry. We also propose a mechanism in which the gauginos and higgsinos are further protected by a discrete R-symmetry against gravitational corrections, as the gravitino gets an invariant Dirac mass by pairing with a member of a Kaluza-Klein tower of spin-3/2 particles. In addition to the models proposed here, split supersymmetry offers novel strategies for realistic model-building. So, TeV-scale string models previously dismissed because of rapid proton decay, or incorrect sin^2θ_W, or because there were no unused dimensions into which to dilute the strength of gravity, can now be reconsidered as candidates for realistic split theories with string scale near M_{GUT}, as long as the gauginos and higgsinos remain light.

description: Mostly forsaken, but revived after the emergence of all-dielectric nanophotonics, the Kerker effect can be observed in a variety of nanostructures from high-index constituents with strong electric and magnetic Mie resonances. Necessary requirement for the existence of a magnetic response limits the use of generally non-magnetic conventional plasmonic nanostructures for the Kerker effect. In spite of this, we demonstrate here for the first time the emergence of the lattice Kerker effect in regular plasmonic Al nanostructures. Collective lattice oscillations emerging from delicate interplay between Rayleigh anomalies and localized surface plasmon resonances both of electric and magnetic dipoles, and electric and magnetic quadrupoles result in suppression of the backscattering in a broad spectral range. Variation of geometrical parameters of Al arrays allows for tailoring lattice Kerker effect throughout UV and visible wavelength ranges, which is close to impossible to achieve using other plasmonic or all-dielectric materials. It is argued that our results set the ground for wide ramifications in the plasmonics and further application of the Kerker effect.
Effect of binarity in star cluster dynamical mass determination

description: In this paper we explore the effects that the presence of a fraction of binary stars has in the determination of a star cluster mass via the virial theorem. To reach this aim in an accurate and consistent way, we run a set of simulations using the direct summation, high precision, code NBODY7. By means of this suite of simulations we are able to quantify the overestimate of open-star-cluster-like models' dynamical masses when making a straight application of the virial theorem using available position and radial velocity measurements. The mass inflation caused by the binary 'heating' contribution to the measured velocity dispersion depends, of course, on the initial binary fraction, $f_{b0}$ and its following dynamical evolution. For an $f_{b}$ (evolved up to 1.5 Gyr) in the range $8\% - 42\%$ the overestimate of the mass done using experimentally sounding estimates for the velocity dispersion can be up to a factor 45. We provide a useful fitting formula to correct the dynamical mass determination for the presence of binaries, and underline how neglecting the role of binaries in stellar systems might lead to erroneous conclusions about their total mass budget. If this trend remains valid for larger systems like dwarf spheroidal galaxies, which are still far out of reach for high precision dynamical simulations taking account their binaries, it would imply an incorrect over-estimation of their dark matter content, as inferred by means of available velocity dispersion measurements.

description: The ability of digital sky surveys to collect and store very large amounts of data provides completely new ways to study the local universe. Perhaps one of the most provocative observations reported with such tools is the asymmetry between galaxies with clockwise and counterclockwise spin patterns. Here I use $\sim1.7\cdot10^5$ spiral galaxies from SDSS and sort them by their spin patterns (clockwise or counterclockwise) to identify and profile a possible large-scale pattern of the distribution of galaxy spin patterns as observed from Earth. The analysis shows asymmetry between the number of clockwise and counterclockwise spiral galaxies imaged by SDSS, and a dipole axis. These findings largely agree with previous reports using smaller datasets. The probability of the differences between the number of galaxies to occur by chance is (P<4*10^-9), and the probability of an asymmetry axis to occur by mere chance is (P<1.4*10^-5).

description: When a universal quantum computer is used by the public, it is assumed that it will be in the form of a quantum cloud server that exists in a few bases due to its cost. In this cloud server, privacy will be a crucial issue, and a blind quantum computation protocol will be necessary so that each user can use the server without the details of the calculations being revealed. It is also important to be able to verify that the server is performing calculations as instructed by the user, since quantum calculations cannot be verified by classical computation. In this paper, we put forward a protocol that achieves blindness using the quantum one-time pad for encryption and a T-like gate, and while verifying computation using trap qubits.

description: The production of strange particles in a hot medium as produced in collisions of heavy ions is considered one of the most important signals for the phase transition to a quark-gluon plasma. In the first part of this lecture, the theoretical description of strangeness production in hot matter is outlined for a gas of quarks and gluons and for a hadronic gas and its impact on the deconfinement phase transition. Then in the second part, constraints from the underlying chiral symmetry of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) are utilized to extract signals with strangeness for the chiral phase transition in hot matter.

description: Mutual phase coherence is the most crucial factor in asynchronous optical sampling system, and its enhancement is commonly achieved by phase-locking both femtosecond lasers to a shared narrow-linewidth cavity-stabilized laser. Here we report such a system with a low residual optical phase jitter at a level of 0.04 rad in a Fourier frequency band from 1 Hz to 5 MHz around 1.55 μm, corresponding to a timing jitter of 30 as. The residual phase jitter reaches 1 rad at a Fourier frequency between 0.06 Hz and 0.1 Hz, from which the phase-coherence time is inferred at least 10 s. The multi-heterodyne beats experimentally reveal a hardware-limited phase coherence time of ~8.15 s throughout the direct lasing spectral band.

Determination of new coefficients in the angular momentum and energy fluxes at infinity to 9PN for eccentric Schwarzschild extreme-mass-ratio inspirals using mode-by-mode fitting

description: We present an extension of work in an earlier paper showing high precision comparisons between black hole perturbation theory and post-Newtonian (PN) theory in their region of overlapping validity for bound, eccentric-orbit, Schwarzschild extreme-mass-ratio inspirals. As before we apply a numerical fitting scheme to extract eccentricity coefficients in the PN expansion of the gravitational wave fluxes, which are then converted to exact analytic form using an integer-relation algorithm. In this work, however, we fit to individual $lmn$ modes to exploit simplifying factorizations that lie therein. Since the previous paper focused solely on the energy flux, here we concentrate initially on analyzing the angular momentum flux to infinity. A first step involves finding convenient forms for hereditary contributions to the flux at low-PN order, analogous to similar terms worked out previously for the energy flux. We then apply the upgraded techniques to find new PN terms through 9PN order and (at many PN orders) to $e^{30}$ in the power series in eccentricity. With the new approach applied to angular momentum fluxes, we return to the energy fluxes at infinity to extend those previous results. Like before, the underlying method uses a \textsc{Mathematica} code based on use of the Mano-Suzuki-Takasugi (MST) function expansion formalism to represent gravitational perturbations and spectral source integration (SSI) to find numerical results at arbitrarily high precision.

description: Conventional management wisdom maintains that considerable economies of scale are essential if producer cooperatives in the agribusiness and food sector are to meet the needs of their members and survive in a globlized economy. In an effort to achieve these economies of scale, many of Ireland’s agricultural cooperatives have chosen over the years to merge with more and more of their neighbors. Some of the biggest of these merged coops have chosen to raise money on the stock exchange in order to have the funds needed to finance substantial, international acquisitions. A recent study, commissioned by government and the industry, has argued that merger has not gone far enough and has called for even more consolidation among Irish dairy cooperaitves. The study report argues that the Irish dairy industry is falling far behind its international competitors and much larger processing units are needed to shift the emphasis on to more value added products and adequate investment in R&D. However, in spite of the conventional wisdom, many of the smaller dairy co-ops in Ireland often appear able to pay higher milk prices to their members and to contribute to the sustainability of local communities more effectively than some of the giants. How is this possible? This article addresses the question of how small to medium-sized co-ops are able to fly in the face of conventional economic wisdom. Our research relies on case studies of co-ops, ranging from large to medium and small, and includes the perceptions of co-op leaders.

Cooperatives as Social Policy Means for Creating Social Cohesion in Communities
Creators: name: Dobrohoczki, Robert
name: Dobrohoczki, Robert
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2006
Subjects: Agribusiness

description: The object of this paper is twofold: First, to demonstrate how the cooperative business structure, rooted in democratic principles, when analyzed within the framework of recent legal and critical theory, can be shown to have a transformative effect in alleviating the adverse effects of globalization. Second, to analyze the international legal environment, particularly trade arrangements, to examine the capacity for co-operatives to serve as social policy instruments for promoting social cohesion. This paper uses Habermasian legal and critical theory in illustrating the close linkages cooperative principles have with modern sources of legal legitimacy and democratic theory. It is argued that cooperatives contribute to a healthy public sphere and alleviate the “legitimation deficits” increasingly manifest by the anti-globalization movement. This movement opposes the increasing power of transnational capital and institutions vis-à-vis national governments, and the lack of democratic control over such institutions and organizations. In order for cooperatives to have an influence on social cohesion and social capital, they must fully engage their democratic potential. Cooperatives are one means of democratizing the market system, thereby alleviating the negative effects of globalization. Consequently, there is a policy interest in promoting cooperative development. Cooperation can offer a viable alternative to global capitalism and transnational corporatism. Policy recommendations will be offered for facilitating cooperative legislation and for the promotion of cooperative development under international trade arrangements. A number of United Nations sponsored international conventions, such as the Co-operatives (Developing Countries) Recommendation of 1966 (No. 127), already advocate cooperatives as an effective means of social policy. With the increasing opposition to transnational corporatism, opposition rooted in the democratic aspirations of citizens; there is an increasing role for co-operatives to assert a democratic market alternative for policymakers to facilitate this demand in the social economy.

This approach gives a unified probabilistic treatment of these questions. It simplifies and extends some of the results known in this domain.

description: Strong interaction physics will be ubiquitous at the Large Hadron Collider since the colliding beams consist of confined quarks and gluons. Although the main purpose of the LHC is to study the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, to maximise the precision and sensitivity of such anaylses it is necessary to understand in detail various perturbative, semi-perturbative and non-perturbative QCD effects. Many of these effects have been extensively studied at HERA and will be studied further at HERA II. We discuss the impact of the knowledge thus gained on physics at the LHC.

description: Personal interviews were conducted with beef cattle producers in Louisiana to determine their preferences and purchase decisions for livestock price insurance. Conjoint analysis was utilized to determine the importance of selected attributes of insurance policies for these producers. The characteristics of producers who prefer given attributes were also identified. Producers rated products given four economic situations to evaluate. A two-limit tobit model was used to estimate the part worth utility values for each attribute. Univariate probit models were estimated to evaluate the influence of producer characteristics on purchase decisions.

description: Neutral and charged excitons (trions) in atomically-thin materials offer important capabilities for photonics, from ultrafast photodetectors to highly-efficient light-emitting diodes and lasers. Recent studies of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures comprised of dissimilar monolayer materials have uncovered a wealth of optical phenomena that are predominantly governed by interlayer interactions. Here, we examine the optical properties in NbSe$_2$ - MoSe$_2$ vdW heterostructures, which provide an important model system to study metal-semiconductor interfaces, a common element in optoelectronics. Through low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) microscopy we discover a sharp emission feature, L1, that is localized at the NbSe$_2$-capped regions of MoSe$_2$. L1 is observed at energies below the commonly-studied MoSe$_2$ excitons and trions, and exhibits temperature- and power-dependent PL consistent with exciton localization in a confining potential. Remarkably, L1 is very robust not just in different samples, but also under a variety of fabrication processes. Using first-principles calculations we reveal that the confinement potential required for exciton localization naturally arises from the in-plane band bending due to the changes in the electron affinity between pristine MoSe$_2$ and NbSe$_2$ - MoSe$_2$ heterostructure. We discuss the implications of our studies for atomically-thin optoelectronics devices with atomically-sharp interfaces and tunable electronic structures.

description: Signaling is an important element in the lender-borrower relationship that influences the cost and availability of debt capital to agricultural borrowers. This paper analyzes the effects of signaling on farm capital structure in conjunction with the pecking order and trade-off theories. The aggregate estimation indicates that signaling does affect agricultural credit relationships through measures of past cash flow and profitability. High-quality borrowers achieve greater credit capacity by providing lenders with valid signals of their financial status, while adjusting toward target debt levels over time and following the pecking order relationship in the short run.

description: We perform an analysis of the supercooled state in an analogue to an early universe phase transition based on a one dimensional, two-component Bose gas. We demonstrate that the thermal fluctuations in the relative phase between the components are characteristic of a relativistic thermal system. Furthermore, we demonstrate the equivalence of two different approaches to the decay of the metastable state: specifically a non-perturbative thermal instanton calculation and a stochastic Gross--Pitaevskii simulation.

description: We present single-epoch black-hole mass (\mbh) estimators based on the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) \MgII\ 2798Å and optical \Hb\ 4861Å emission lines. To enlarge the luminosity range of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we combine the 31 reverberation-mapped AGNs with relatively low luminosities from Bahk et al. 2019, 47 moderate-luminosity AGNs from Woo et al. 2018, and 425 high-luminosity AGNs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The combined sample has the monochromatic luminosity at 5100Å ranging $\mathrm{\log λL_{5100} \sim 41.3-46.5}$ \ergs, over the range of 5.5 $~0.1 dex intrinsic scatter with respect to the fiducial \Hb\ based \mbh.

description: We present a model, motivated by the criterion of reality put forward by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen and supplemented by classical communication, which correctly reproduces the quantum-mechanical predictions for measurements of all products of Pauli operators on an n-qubit GHZ state (or ``cat state''). The n-2 bits employed by our model are shown to be optimal for the allowed set of measurements, demonstrating that the required communication overhead scales linearly with n. We formulate a connection between the generation of the local values utilized by our model and the stabilizer formalism, which leads us to conjecture that a generalization of this method will shed light on the content of the Gottesman-Knill theorem.

From entanglement certification with quench dynamics to multipartite entanglement of interacting fermions

description: Multipartite entanglement, such as witnessed through the quantum Fisher information (QFI), is a crucial resource for quantum technologies, but its experimental certification is highly challenging. Here, we propose an experimentally friendly protocol to measure the QFI. It relies on recording the short-time dynamics of simple observables after a quench from a thermal state, works for spins, bosons, and fermions, and can be implemented in standard cold-atom experiments and other platforms with temporal control over the system Hamiltonian. To showcase the protocol, we simulate it for the one-dimensional Fermi--Hubbard model. Further, we establish a family of bounds connecting the QFI to multipartite mode entanglement for fermionic systems, which enable the detection of multipartite entanglement at sizable temperatures. Our work paves a way to experimentally accessing entanglement for quantum enhanced metrology.

Appraisals of elderly community dwelling women : a qualitative study of their experience of a fall
Creators: name: Patterson, Kathryn A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Falls represent a major health problem for elderly women. In the present study, I conceptualized a fall as a distressing event and focused on the appraisal process depicted in Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) transactional model. Meaning is a key element in the appraisal process, thus I drew on the Satir Model because it offers a method for accessing the meaning elderly women make of a fall and ongoing concerns about falling in terms of their behaviors, feelings, perceptions, expectations, and yearnings. Fourteen community dwelling women, aged 75 to 94, took part in one of three 1 to 1.5 hour focus group meetings. Eleven of these women participated in a follow-up 1.5 hour personal interview. The focus groups and interviews were audio-taped and transcribed. The text was analyzed by means of the constant comparative method used in grounded theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1990). Data analysis methods included open coding, constant comparative analysis, and memo writing. Additionally, attention was paid to theoretical sensitivity throughout the analysis. Results revealed that, for the women in the study, there were complex psychological processes connected to the fall. From the women's descriptions, five meta-themes emerged representing the fall itself, the context of the fall, the wants that were at stake because of the fall, the changes related to the fall, and factors contributing to resistance and compliance of those fall-related changes. The meaning they made of the fall was suffused with feelings, perceptions, and expectations. Although yearnings were difficult to determine, behaviour played a key role in the meaning made of the fall. According to the women's accounts, the fall was distressing; however, they did not consider fallrelated changes and limits as daily hassles. Instead, they placed an emphasis on adjusting to these changes and limits and moved forward with their lives. The findings highlighted the systemic, interactive nature of the appraisal process and the iceberg framework of the Satir Model. Understanding some of the psychological consequences of a fall within the context of these women's lives provides valuable information to help counselling psychologists when working with elderly women who have experienced a fall.
Landau-Zener Tunnelling in Waveguide Arrays

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Landau-Zener tunnelling is discussed in connection with optical waveguide arrays. Light injected in a specific band of the Bloch spectrum in the propagation constant can be transmitted to another band, changing its physical properties. This is achieved using two waveguide arrays with different refractive indices, which amounts to consider a Schrödinger equation in a periodic potential with a step. The step causes wave "acceleration" and thus induces Landau-Zener tunnelling. The region of physical parameters where this phenomenon can occur is analytically determined and a realistic experimental setup is suggested. Its application could allow the realization of light filters.

description: A Censored Incomplete Demand System is applied to household expenditures for edible oil in India. The results show that edible peanut oil is still a luxury good in India, whereas expenditure elasticities for other edible oils are relatively low. The food habit, location, education of household heads, and other demographic variables have significant effects on the choice of edible oils.
