description: One important property of imaging modalities and related applications is the resolution of image reconstructions which relies on various factors such as instrumentation or data processing. Restrictions in resolution can have manifold origins, e.g., limited resolution of available data, noise level in the data, and/or inexact model operators. In this work we investigate a novel data processing approach suited for inexact model operators. Here, two different information sources, high-dimensional model information and high-quality measurement on a lower resolution, are comprised in a hybrid approach. The joint reconstruction of a high resolution image and parameters of the imaging operator are obtained by minimizing a Tikhonov-type functional. The hybrid approach is analyzed for bilinear operator equations with respect to stability, convergence, and convergence rates. We further derive an algorithmic solution exploiting an algebraic reconstruction technique. The study is complemented by numerical results ranging from an academic test case to image reconstruction in magnetic particle imaging.

description: Lamellar crystalline materials, whose layers are bond by van der Waals forces, can be stacked to form ultrathin artificial heterostructures, and in particular vertical magnetic junctions when some of the stacked materials are (ferro)magnetic. Here, using the room temperature van der Waals ferromagnet 1$T$-CrTe$_2$, we report a method for patterning lateral magnetic junctions. Exploiting the heat-induced phase transformation of the material into Cr$_x$Te$_y$ compounds ($x/y>1/2$), we use local laser heating to imprint patterns at the micron-scale. Optimizing laser heat dissipation, we further demonstrate the crucial role of the substrate to control the phase transformation. If plain, unstructured poorly heat-conducting substrates allow for direct writing of magnetic patterns, structured $h$-BN layers can serve as heat stencils to draw potentially thinner patterns. Besides, $h$-BN encapsulation turns out to be heat-protective (in addition from protecting against oxidation as it is generally used for), allowing the demonstration of room temperature ferromagnetism in $<$7~nm-thick 1$T$-CrTe$_2$.

description: We consider the problem of finite sample corrections for entropy estimation. New estimates of the Shannon entropy are proposed and their systematic error (the bias) is computed analytically. We find that our results cover correction formulas of current entropy estimates recently discussed in literature. The trade-off between bias reduction and the increase of the corresponding statistical error is analyzed.

description: Despite the widespread adoption of large language models (LLMs) for recommendation, we demonstrate that LLMs often exhibit uncertainty in their recommendations. To ensure the trustworthy use of LLMs in generating recommendations, we emphasize the importance of assessing the reliability of recommendations generated by LLMs. We start by introducing a novel framework for estimating the predictive uncertainty to quantitatively measure the reliability of LLM-based recommendations. We further propose to decompose the predictive uncertainty into recommendation uncertainty and prompt uncertainty, enabling in-depth analyses of the primary source of uncertainty. Through extensive experiments, we (1) demonstrate predictive uncertainty effectively indicates the reliability of LLM-based recommendations, (2) investigate the origins of uncertainty with decomposed uncertainty measures, and (3) propose uncertainty-aware prompting for a lower predictive uncertainty and enhanced recommendation.

description: Initialization of a qubit in a pure state is a prerequisite for quantum computer operation. Qubits are commonly initialized by cooling to their ground states through passive thermalization or by using active reset protocols. To accurately quantify the initialization one requires a tool to measure the excited state population with sufficient accuracy given that the spurious excited state population may not exceed a fraction of a percent. In this Letter we propose a new technique of finding the excited state population of a qubit using correlations between two sequential measurements. We experimentally implement the proposed technique using a circuit QED platform and compare its performance with previously developed techniques. Unlike other techniques, our method does not require high-fidelity readout and does not involve the excited levels of the system outside of the qubit subspace. We experimentally demonstrated measurement of the spurious qubit population with accuracy of up to $0.01\%$. This accuracy enabled us to perform "temperature spectroscopy" of the qubit which helps to shed light on sources of the decoherence.

description: We report a new multi-nuclei based NMR method which allows us to image the staggered polarization induced by nonmagnetic Li impurities in underdoped O6.6 and slightly overdoped O7 YBa2Cu3O6+y above T_C. The spatial extension of the polarization xi_imp approximately follows a Curie law, increasing up to six lattice constants at T=80K at O6.6 in the pseudogap regime. Near optimal doping, the staggered magnetization has the same shape, with xi_imp reduced by a factor 2. xi_imp is argued to reveal the intrinsic magnetic correlation length of the pure system. It is found to display a smooth evolution through the pseudogap regime.

Here we introduce a hybrid network model composed of the yeast PIN and the protein family interaction network. The essential ingredient of the model includes the protein family identity and its robustness under evolution, as well as the three previously proposed ones: gene duplication, divergence, and mutation. We investigate diverse structural properties of our model with parameter values relevant to yeast, finding that the model successfully reproduces the empirical data.

title: The Scandal of Particularity: A Historical Survey of the Christian Theology of Religion
Creators: name: Sherrington, John Brian
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1990

description: The purpose of this study is to trace the history of Christian thinking about other faiths. It begins with the Old Testament, in which the dominant theological motif is found to be that of Covenant, which puts Israel in a particular relationship with God, and leaves others outside. This attitude is carried over into the New Testament and on into the early Christian tradition. The exceptions to this are Justin Martyr and the Apologists, who emphasized that the divine light shines for all and in all. This positive strand in Christian theology then disappeared underground for about a thousand years. The reasons for this lie in the biblical material and in the fact that Christian theologians did not have to think much about other faiths. In the nineteenth century all that changed because missionaries came up against the reality of other faiths and had to say something about them. It was in the nineteenth century, therefore, that the search for a positive Christian theology of religion began in earnest. In our time the need to find a solution to this theological problem has become even more urgent as men and women of all faiths meet each other and face many of the same problems in coming to terms with the process of secularisation. In the last twenty five years, therefore, positive theologies of religion have come from the Roman Catholic tradition, from the Liberal Protestant wing of the Church, and from the World Council of Churches. Despite that, three things are still needed for a satisfactory theology of other faiths. They are, a recovery of the Philosophy of Religion, a revised Doctrine of Revelation and a re-examination of the concept of 'religion' in Christian thinking.
title: Lead poisoning in swans Cygnus olor

description: This study examines some aspects of lead poisoning in the Mute Swan (Cygnus olor). In 4 years I examined 860 carcasses from a study area in East Anglia. Seventy-four per cent of the birds concerned had died of lead poisoning, from ingested fishing weights. Annual aerial surveys showed that the number of live birds in the study area declined by 22% during the 4 year period. When 23 carcasses were re-introduced to their original locations, 5 were re-notified and 16 disappeared without trace. A comparison of gizzard grit size between a group of lead-poisoned birds and a similar number of birds, which had died of other causes, indicated that lead weights, when available are ingested by choice. Results from an environmental survey showed that without ingesting fishing weights swans carry a light burden of lead, resulting from contamination by airborne lead, probably originating from petrol-engined motor vehicles. An analysis using the bodies of lead-poisoned swans, found freshly dead in the field, showed that lead can be excreted via the bile and lower gut. Controlled experiments using pigeons (Columba livia) and mallard (Anasplatyrhynchos) showed that:- (1) tissue lead and zinc values monitored over a period of one year became elevated due to changes in physiology during moult; and (2) changes in calcium metabolism during eggshell formation had no detectable effect on blood lead values. Results indicated that in pigeons most of the calcium used in the formation of eggshells is derived directly from the diet, rather than from bone reserves. As a treatment for lead poisoning, daily injections of thiamin were administered to lead-poisoned mallard. No detectable effect on the progress of the intoxication was found. Tissue lead values were lower in lead-dosed ducks receiving a diet supplemented with phytic acid than in a similar group receiving no supplementation. Pigeons dosed with lead scored more "fails" during a simple performance test which measured landing ability than did a control group of birds. Zinc was tested as a possible fishing weight substitute and, at the levels administered, was found to be non-toxic to mallard. Combined dosing of lead and zinc showed that zinc had a demonstratable protective action against lead toxicity.

description: Die Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise 2008/09 ist Anlass für die Hinterfragung bestehender Anreizsysteme. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Beteiligung des Controllings bei der Anreizgestaltung ab diesem Zeitpunkt. Die Methodik ist eine systematische Literaturrecherche und Experteninterviews, die entlang der Gestaltungselemente des Anreizsystems ausgewertet werden. Seit dem Betrachtungszeitraum sind wesentliche Entwicklungen festzustellen von Individual- zu Gruppen-Incentivierung, vom Einsatz monetärer Anreize zu gemischten Anreizen (monetär und immateriell). Letzteres spiegelt sich in den Bemessungsgrundlagen wider, welche finanzielle und nicht-finanzielle Kennzahlen nutzen. Zur Generierung einer nachhaltigen Unternehmensentwicklung werden Long-Term-Incentives forciert. Das Controlling ist bei der Anreizgestaltung, beim Definieren von ‚Bemessungsgrundlagen‘ und ‚Anreizfunktionen‘, stark eingebunden. Die Aufgabenfelder des Controllings sind weit-gefächert: Reporting, Übersetzung von Geschäftszielen in Bemessungsgrundlagen, Wissensvermittlung, der Harmonisierung von Zielen bis zur Steuerungsfunktion bei Entscheidungen. Aus dieser Perspektive betrachtet übernimmt das Controlling zusätzliche Verantwortung und unterstützt das Management bei der Anreizgestaltung, was den Schluss nahelegt, dass eine Rollentransformation des Controllers zum Business Partner stattfindet.
description: The financial and economic crisis of 2008/09 has prompted the questioning of existing in-centive systems. This paper examines the involvement of management accounting in the incentive design from this point on. The methodology is a systematic literature research and expert interviews, which are evaluated along the design elements of the incentive sys-tem. Since the period under review, significant developments can be observed from indi-vidual to group incentives, from the use of monetary incentives to the use of mixed incen-tives (monetary and immaterial). The latter is reflected in the assessment bases that use financial and non-financial indicators. Long-term-Incentives are promoted to generate sustainable corporate development. Management accounting is closely involved in the incen-tive design process when defining the assessment basis' and 'incentive functions'. Management accounting has a wide range of tasks: reporting, translation of business objectives into assessment bases, knowledge transfer, harmonization of objectives, and the steering function in decision-making. Seen from this perspective, management accounting as-sumes additional responsibility and supports management in designing incentives, which suggests that the role of the management accounting is being transformed into that of a business partner.

 Comments
 This species is known only from the female specimen collected in Yangon Division, Myanmar (= Burma) (Thorell 1887). Thorell expressed doubt about the maturity of the examined specimen. This is the only Eutittha species for which Simon (1901 p. 67) established a new combination. The absence of figures and descriptions of the epigyne make it difficult to define this species and solve the problem of its systematic position.

description: The universal building block which is an essential part of all atomic structures on (1 1 0) silicon and germanium surfaces and their vicinals is proposed from first-principles calculations and a comparison of results with available experimental data. The atomic models for the (1 1 0)-(16x2), (1 1 0)-c(8x10), (1 1 0)-(5x8) and (17 15 1)-(2x1) surface reconstructions are developed on the basis of the building block structure. The models exhibit very low surface energies and excellent agreements with bias-dependent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images. It is shown experimentally using STM that the Si(47 35 7) surface shares the same building block. Our study closes the long-debated pentagon structures on (1 1 0) silicon and germanium surfaces.

description: The critical behaviour of $d$-dimensional semi-infinite systems with $n$-component order parameter $\bmϕ$ is studied at an $m$-axial bulk Lifshitz point whose wave-vector instability is isotropic in an $m$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{R}^d$. Field-theoretic renormalization group methods are utilised to examine the special surface transition in the case where the $m$ potential modulation axes, with $0\leq m\leq d-1$, are parallel to the surface. The resulting scaling laws for the surface critical indices are given. The surface critical exponent $η_\|^{\rm sp}$, the surface crossover exponent $Φ$ and related ones are determined to first order in $ε=4+\case{m}{2}-d$. Unlike the bulk critical exponents and the surface critical exponents of the ordinary transition, $Φ$ is $m$-dependent already at first order in $ε$. The $\Or(ε)$ term of $η_\|^{\rm sp}$ is found to vanish, which implies that the difference of $β_1^{\rm sp}$ and the bulk exponent $β$ is of order $ε^2$.

description: We consider a local formalism in quantum field theory, in which no reference is made to infinitely extended spacial surfaces, infinite past or infinite future. This can be obtained in terms of a functional W[f,S] of the field f on a closed 3d surface S that bounds a finite region R of Minkowski spacetime. The dependence of W on S is governed by a local covariant generalization of the Schroedinger equation. Particles' scattering amplitudes that describe experiments conducted in the finite region R --the lab during a finite time-- can be expressed in terms of W. The dependence of W on the geometry of S expresses the dependence of the transition amplitudes on the relative location of the particle detectors. In a gravitational theory, background independence implies that W is independent from S. However, the detectors' relative location is still coded in the argument of W, because the geometry of the boundary surface is determined by the boundary value f of the gravitational field. This observation clarifies the physical meaning of the functional W defined by non perturbative formulations of quantum gravity, such as the spinfoam formalism. In particular, it suggests a way to derive particles' scattering amplitudes from a spinfoam model. In particular, we discuss the notion of vacuum in a generally covariant context. We distinguish the nonperturbative vacuum |0_S>, which codes the dynamics, from the Minkowski vacuum |0_M>, which is the state with no particles and is recovered by taking appropriate large values of the boundary metric. We derive a relation between the two vacuum states. We propose an explicit expression for computing the Minkowski vacuum from a spinfoam model.

description: Semantic segmentation with deep learning has achieved great progress in classifying the pixels in the image. However, the local location information is usually ignored in the high-level feature extraction by the deep learning, which is important for image semantic segmentation. To avoid this problem, we propose a graph model initialized by a fully convolutional network (FCN) named Graph-FCN for image semantic segmentation. Firstly, the image grid data is extended to graph structure data by a convolutional network, which transforms the semantic segmentation problem into a graph node classification problem. Then we apply graph convolutional network to solve this graph node classification problem. As far as we know, it is the first time that we apply the graph convolutional network in image semantic segmentation. Our method achieves competitive performance in mean intersection over union (mIOU) on the VOC dataset(about 1.34% improvement), compared to the original FCN model.

Spatial Information and the Legibility of Urban Form: Big Data in Urban Morphology
Creators: name: Boeing, Geoff
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Urban planning and morphology have relied on analytical cartography and visual communication tools for centuries to illustrate spatial patterns, propose designs, compare alternatives, and engage the public. Classic urban form visualizations - from Giambattista Nolli's ichnographic maps of Rome to Allan Jacobs's figure-ground diagrams of city streets - have compressed physical urban complexity into easily comprehensible information artifacts. Today we can enhance these traditional workflows through the Smart Cities paradigm of understanding cities via user-generated content and harvested data in an information management context. New spatial technology platforms and big data offer new lenses to understand, evaluate, monitor, and manage urban form and evolution. This paper builds on the theoretical framework of visual cultures in urban planning and morphology to introduce and situate computational data science processes for exploring urban fabric patterns and spatial order. It demonstrates these workflows with OSMnx and data from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative spatial information system and mapping platform, to examine street network patterns, orientations, and configurations in different study sites around the world, considering what these reveal about the urban fabric. The age of ubiquitous urban data and computational toolkits opens up a new era of worldwide urban form analysis from integrated quantitative and qualitative perspectives.

Em torno da noção de Arquivo

description: Refere-se, em primeiro lugar, o facto de, em diferentes épocas, se haverem incorporado em Arquivos Públicos Portugueses documentos que, pela sua natureza, deveriam ter sido recolhidos antes em Bibliotecas; e, em algumas destas, documentos que melhor lugar teriam em arquivos. Levanta-se assim a questão de saber qual deve ser, em tal domínio, o critério selectivo a adoptar. Começando-se pela tentativa de caracterizar bem o que seja material arquivístico, resume-se a crítica feita por E. Casanova, na sua «Archivistica», às várias definições de «arquivo» propostas até à data da publicação dessa obra, reproduzem-se outras definições de tratadistas mais modernos e apresenta-se, por último, a que o próprio autor do artigo já em outra ocasião tivera ensejo de formular. Na apreciação a tal definição, procura-se pôr em evidência as diferenças fundamentais existentes entre documentos de arquivo e documentos de biblioteca.

title: A case study of the National Union of Teachers as a pressure group: the Oxfordshire dispute
Creators: name: Stapley, Robert Charles
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1990

description: This thesis is a case study of an attempt by a specific pressure group, the National Union of Teachers, to influence the policy-making process of a local education authority, Oxfordshire County Council, at a time when the local authority had embarked upon a course of expenditure reductions in its education budget. The study seeks to identify, and assess the significance of, national developments during the mid-1970s which had a bearing on the course of this particular dispute. Three significant factors are identified: the impact upon local education authorities of the reform of local government in England and Wales in the early 197Os; the changing relationship between teacher unions, the Department of Education and Science and local authorities during the 1960s and '70s; and the impact- of the nation's economic difficulties upon the funding of the education service. It is argued that the Oxfordshire dispute of 1976-77 illustrates a turning point in relations between local education authorities and teacher unions as they were each required to adjust to the new realities which confronted them. The major theoretical approaches to the policy-making process are identified as systems theory, pluralism, Marxism and neo-liberalism and the particular contribution of each of these to tins study of policy making is discussed. The events of the dispute are analysed using the models provided these theories each of which provides a different explanation of the underlying factors which determined the policy-making framework within which the dispute occurred. The study points to pluralism as the theory which most closely accords with the practical realities of policy-making as viewed by those involved in the process.

description: A rizs évszázadok óta Korea egyik legfontosabb mezőgazdasági terménye, hagyományosan a legjelentősebb volumenben termesztett élelmiszernövénye, amely az agrárpolitika központi elemének is tekinthető. Ez utóbbi azonban az elmúlt évtizedekben változásokon ment keresztül, ugyanis a dél-koreai rizstermelés egyrészt a termőterület folyamatos csökkenése, másrészt a keresleti változások, harmadrészt az állami támogatások rendszerének alakulása miatt visszaesett. Ennek ellenére a koreai rizstermesztés termelékenysége javult, ráadásul kevesebb vegyszert használnak, optimalizálják a gépek használatát, miközben magas hozamot érnek el, jóllehet a gazdaságok teljesítménye az országon belül változó. A terméshozamok emelkedésével egyidejű csökkenő fogyasztás a kormányzatot támogatási politikája átértékelésére késztette. Ennek alapján a korábbi mennyiségi növekedést támogató politika a minőségorientált termelés irányába mozdult el. A rizstermelőknek nyújtott állami támogatások rendszere a jövedelemtámogatás felé tolódott el, de bizonyos támogatások még mindig közvetlenül kapcsolódnak a rizstermeléshez. -------------- Rice has been the main agricultural crop in Korea for centuries and also it is at centre of the agricultural policy. The latter went through certain changes during the recent few decades. The South Korean rice production decreased considerably due to various reasons, such as the shrinking size of the arable lands, the changes in the food consumption habits that mitigated the demand for rice, and also to the changes in the subsidy system. In spite of all this, the productivity of the Korean rice production has developed moreover they use less agricultural chemicals and optimizing the use of agricultural machinery. Even though there are regional differences countrywide, the average yields show growing trend. In parallel with the increasing yields and the shrinking consumption the government re-evaluated its policy and instead of supporting the quantity growth, they put the new focus on the quality-oriented production. The government’s subsidies to rice producers are now basically income-subsidies; however there are still certain instruments that are directly connected to the production.

description: This paper aims to better understand the context in which smallholder farms operate. The study has developed a new methodology to establish country-wide farm typologies that combines household and macro-level data (household survey, agricultural census and land cover data) to analyze food security and poverty, to enable an analysis that is both farm-system specific and spatially explicit. Using this methodology to analyze the poverty and food security situation of Ethiopian smallholder farms, the study has developed farming-system- and location-specific poverty and food security indicators which can provide guidance for more targeted strategies to reduce rural poverty.

description: The Wellbeing Team at the Peter A. Allard School of Law (Allard Law) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) provides law students with resources addressing their physical, emotional, and behavioural needs. A situational assessment revealed relevant problems in the target population relating to poor mental health and limited food literacy. Behaviours that contributed to these issues included students' dietary patterns and social behaviours, further influenced by mediating factors at the individual, interpersonal, and environmental levels. Initial interview results suggested that Allard Law's academic workload and time-consuming nature causes students to prioritize academic and career-driven goals over their health and wellbeing. Using the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), we analyzed the interactions between personal, behavioural, and environmental factors (reciprocal determinism). Five other SCT constructs (self-efficacy, behavioural capability, relevant expectations, reinforcement, and observational learning) were also considered. With this in consideration, and together with the Allard Student Wellbeing Counsellor, Anna Kline, and the UBC Social Ecological Economic Development Studies (SEEDS) Sustainability Program, our project aims to improve Allard Law students' wellbeing by addressing food literacy through nutritional resources that improve diet quality and brain health. Program outputs included (1) initial interviews and follow-up surveys of multi-year law students, (2) nutritional resources in the form of videos and infographics to support brain health and cognitive performance, and (3) a summary and recommendations document to guide future wellness programming. Our short-term evaluation plan consisted of process and outcome indicators measured through follow-up surveys to indicate effectiveness in increasing food literacy levels. Our medium- and long-term evaluation plan would assess the level of engagement of students in support networks, annual survey reports of wellbeing, and evaluate improvements in available nutrition resources and healthy food options on campus.

Finite Temperature Systems of Brane-Antibrane Pairs and Non-BPS D-branes

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We investigate the thermodynamic properties of D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs and non-BPS D-branes on the basis of boundary string field theory. We calculate the finite temperature effective potential of N D-brane-anti-D-brane pairs in a non-compact background and in a toroidal background. In the non-compact background case, a phase transition occurs slightly below the Hagedorn temperature, and the D9-anti-D9 pairs become stable. Moreover, the total energy at the critical temperature is a decreasing function of N as long as the 't Hooft coupling is very small. This leads to the conclusion that a large number N of D9-anti-D9 pairs are created simultaneously near the Hagedorn temperature. In the toroidal background case (M_{1,9-D} * T_{D}), a phase transition occurs only if the Dp-anti-Dp pair is extended in all the non-compact directions, as long as the 't Hooft coupling is very small. The total energy at the critical temperature also decreases as N increases. We also calculate the finite temperature effective potential of non-BPS D-branes, and we obtain similar results. Then, we consider the thermodynamic balance between open strings on these branes and closed strings in the bulk in the ideal gas approximation, and conclude that the total energy is dominated by the open strings.
