description: Word co-occurrence networks have been employed to analyze texts both in the practical and theoretical scenarios. Despite the relative success in several applications, traditional co-occurrence networks fail in establishing links between similar words whenever they appear distant in the text. Here we investigate whether the use of word embeddings as a tool to create virtual links in co-occurrence networks may improve the quality of classification systems. Our results revealed that the discriminability in the stylometry task is improved when using Glove, Word2Vec and FastText. In addition, we found that optimized results are obtained when stopwords are not disregarded and a simple global thresholding strategy is used to establish virtual links. Because the proposed approach is able to improve the representation of texts as complex networks, we believe that it could be extended to study other natural language processing tasks. Likewise, theoretical languages studies could benefit from the adopted enriched representation of word co-occurrence networks.

Abstract
Tirabrutinib (Velexbru®) is an orally administered, small molecule, Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor being developed by Ono Pharmaceutical and its licensee Gilead Sciences for the treatment of autoimmune disorders and haematological malignancies. Tirabrutinib irreversibly and covalently binds to BTK in B cells and inhibits aberrant B cell receptor signalling in B cell-related cancers and autoimmune diseases. In March 2020, oral tirabrutinib was approved in Japan for the treatment of recurrent or refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma. Tirabrutinib is also under regulatory review in Japan for the treatment of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Clinical development is underway in the USA, Europe and Japan for autoimmune disorders, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, B cell lymphoma, Sjogren's syndrome, pemphigus and rheumatoid arthritis. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of tirabrutinib leading to the first approval of tirabrutinib for the treatment of recurrent or refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma in Japan.

description: The results of electronic structure calculations for the one-dimensional magnetic chain compound Ca3Co2O6 are presented. The calculations are based on density functional theory and the local density approximation and used the augmented spherical wave (ASW) method. Our results allow for deeper understanding of recent experimental findings. In particular, alternation of Co 3d low- and high-spin states along the characteristic chains is related to differences in the oxygen coordination at the inequivalent cobalt sites. Strong hybridization of the d states with the O 2p states lays ground for polarization of the latter and the formation of extended localized magnetic moments centered at the high-spin sites. In contrast, strong metal-metal overlap along the chains gives rise to intrachain ferromagnetic exchange coupling of the extended moments via the d_{3z^2-r^2} orbitals of the low-spin cobalt atoms.

A mathematical model for cement kilns
Creators: name: Darabi, Pirooz
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Rotary kilns have numerous industrial applications including cement production. Frequent operational problems such as low thermal efficiency, refractory failure, and poor product quality have prompted extensive efforts to improve and optimize their design. Mathematical modeling and Computational Fluid Dynamics constitute effective tools recently used for these purposes. A cement kiln consists of three major parts: the hot flow, the bed, and the wall. A CFD code which had the capability of simulating the hot gas was developed further to simulate the kiln. In the present work, two 1-D mathematical models are proposed and implemented in the existing CFD code. The first model consists of the steady-state solution for the material and temperature evolution within the bed. The second one simulates tire combustion in the kiln. The tire burning model assumes that tire combustion occurs in two major successive steps, devolatization and char combustion. For the devolatization model, external heat and mass transfer, three parallel reactions, and enthalpy effects are considered the dominant phenomena. The char combustion model considers the enthalpy effect and the external mass transfer. With the aid of the developed model, full-scale industrial cement kilns under steady-state and realistic operational conditions are simulated. In addition, cement kilns with combustion of full scrap tires in the middle of them are mathematically modeled. The limits and feasibility of tire combustion are further explored by running numerical simulations with different tire flow rates and different injector locations. The flow field, temperature distribution and species distribution are presented. Analysis of the results indicates that, with the help of the proposed model, a better understanding of the important processes within cement kilns can be obtained. The model can be used for addressing operational problems and optimizing designs. It is also concluded that successful firing of tires can lead to a cheaper, longer lasting, and less polluting kiln.

description: We propose a novel type of composite light-matter magnetometer based on a transversely driven multi-component Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to two distinct electromagnetic modes of a linear cavity. Above the critical pump strength, the change of the population imbalance of the condensate caused by an external magnetic field entails the change of relative photon number of the two cavity modes. Monitoring the cavity output fields thus allows for nondestructive measurement of the magnetic field in real time. We show that the sensitivity of the proposed magnetometer exhibits Heisenberg-like scaling with respect to the atom number. For state-of-the-art experimental parameters, we calculate the lower bound on the sensitivity of such a magnetometer to be of the order of fT/$\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$--pT/$\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$ for a condensate of $10^4$ atoms with coherence times of the order of several ms.

The target nucleus is found to be quite transparent for the charmed-strange Fock component of the light-cone W^+ in the helicity state λ=+1 and rather opaque for the c\bar s dipole with λ=-1. The shadowing correction to the structure function ΔxF_3 = xF_3^{νN}-xF_3^{\barνN} extracted from νFe and \barνFe data is shown to make up about 20% in the kinematical range of CCFR/NuTeV.

title: 'Agrarwende' : cognitive-normative approaches to policy change in German agro-biotechnology
Creators: name: Boschert, Karin Christa
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: In the year 2000, Germany's biggest post-war food crisis, BSE, changed the terms of the public debate on agro-biotech significantly. Before the BSE-crisis, Germany's policy had been predominantly driven by a neo-liberal framing of biotechnology as a central tool for innovation and international competitiveness. After BSE, biotechnology policy became caught up in a broader reform effort to change agricultural and food policies - the ''Agrarwende''. This thesis concerns the question of the policy shift in agricultural biotechnology as it developed in Germany between the years 2000 and 2004 as a result of the Agrarwende. It analyzes why the BSE crisis had an effect on the German agrobiotech subsystem, how it affected regulation and to what extent it led to the . institutionalization of new types of socio-political practices and relationships. To fulfill this purpose the thesis uses cognitive-normative frameworks, in particular Maarten Hajer's discourse analytical framework and Paul Sabatier's advocacy coalition framework. By looking at the German case of agro-biotech regulation the thesis asks, how can policy change be explained and illuminated by the use of these two theories? What are their relative or different contributions to the study of policy change? Are these approaches contradictory or complementary? It can be concluded that, over the years, a great deal has changed in German agricultural biotechnology policy with regard to legislation, the political institutions and the actors involved in the subsystem. The cognitive normative frameworks applied both contributed to a better understanding of the policy process and policy change. In the analysis, Hajer's concepts were found to have more strengths and fewer weaknesses than Sabatier's. Being rooted in different theory traditions, the two approaches showed contradictory as well as complementary features. There was, in any case, much to be gained from looking at the interaction between discourse and belief dynamics.

description: The information on a quantum process acquired through measurements plays a crucial role in the determination of its non-equilibrium thermodynamic properties. We report on the experimental inference of the stochastic entropy production rate for a continuously monitored mesoscopic quantum system. We consider an optomechanical system subjected to continuous displacement Gaussian measurements and characterise the entropy production rate of the individual trajectories followed by the system in its stochastic dynamics, employing a phase-space description in terms of the Wigner entropy. Owing to the specific regime of our experiment, we are able to single out the informational contribution to the entropy production arising from conditioning the state on the measurement outcomes. Our experiment embodies a significant step towards the demonstration of full-scale control of fundamental thermodynamic processes at the mesoscopic quantum scale.

description: We present a sequence of I-band images obtained at the Venezuela 1m Schmidt telescope during the outburst of the nebula recently discovered by J.W. McNeil in the Orion L1630 molecular cloud. We derive photometry spanning the pre-outburst state and the brightening itself, a unique record including 14 epochs and spanning a time scale of ~5 years. We constrain the beginning of the outburst at some time between Oct. 28 and Nov. 15, 2003. The light curve of the object at the vertex of the nebula, the likely exciting source of the outburst, reveals that it has brightened ~5 magnitudes in about 4 months. The time scale for the nebula to develop is consistent with the light travel time, indicating that we are observing light from the central source scattered by the ambient cloud into the line of sight. We also show recent FLWO optical spectroscopy of the exciting source and of the nearby HH 22. The spectrum of the source is highly reddened; in contrast, the spectrum of HH 22 shows a shock spectrum superimposed on a continuum, most likely due to reflected light from the exciting source reaching the HH object through a much less reddened path. The blue portion of this spectrum is consistent with an early B spectral type, similar to the early outburst spectrum of the FU Ori variable V1057 Cyg; we estimate a luminosity of L ~219 Lsun. The eruptive behavior of the McNeil nebula source, its spectroscopic characteristics and luminosity, suggest we may be witnessing an FU Ori event on its way to maximum. Further monitoring of this object will decide whether it qualifies as a member of this rare class of objects.

The use of SDR finance for collectively agreed purposes
Creators: name: TRIFFIN, R.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: International monetary reform, SDR, special drawing right, reserves
subject: E42, F33

description: The international debate on international monetary reform that began in the early 1960s ha proceeded with a logic and consistency unparalleled in other areas of international relations. The SDR agreement, in particular, constitutes a major breakthrough, deemed until recently to be totally utopian and unattainable, toward a rational management of the international monetary system. The agreement as it now stands, however, still fails to deal adequately with the objective of an allocation of SDRs serving collectively agreed purposes rather than unilaterally decided national policies, potentially disruptive of equilibrium and/or obnoxious to the countries called upon to finance them through forcible SDR accumulation. The author argues that internationally created reserves should be used for internationally agreed upon objectives, rather than the blind financing of national policies that may be financially, economically or politically disruptive.

subject: F35, F33

description: The proposal that the creation of international reserves by the IMF be linked with development assistance to less developed countries has become more insistent in recent years. The primary and basic purpose of the Link is to increase the flow of development aid to less developed countries from more developed countries. It is safe to say, however, that if it could be shown that the basic objective cannot be achieved, or only to a small and uncertain extent, the enthusiasm for the Link would quickly die down. While the author does not question the desirability of the basic objective, it is argued that a sizeable increase in the flow of aid cannot be achieved through the Link and that it would be an inefficient method for providing aid.

description: Recent developments in commercial banking in the United States have exerted a profound impact on the financial structure. The present paper focuses on events which led to commercial bank diversification culminating in the formation of the financial congeneric - a bank dominated IBHC. The authors first looks at recent banking history and the factors that shaped a regulatory philosophy tending to restrict diversification and competition within the banking community, leading to the recently passed legislation extending Federal regulation to one-bank holding companies. Some of the more important functionally-related services offered by financial congenerics are then described, apart from the conventional deposit and loan services of commercial banks. Finally, the economic forces that led toward commercial bank diversification into functionally-related areas are examined. JEL: G21, G28

Investigation into the improvement of tire management practices
Creators: name: Zhou, Jie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Mining mobile equipment is becoming larger in order to lower operation cost and increase productivity; however, their performance characteristics are often limited by the tire capabilities. Although considerable progress has been made in the field of tire research, the lack of quantitative research on tire performance characteristics impedes the advancement of off-the-road tires. This is due to the complexity and severity of tire interactions with the surrounding environment and the difficulty in assessing the impact of these interactions on tire life. Longer haul roads, and a severe operating environment make tires more vulnerable than other components of a vehicle. Furthermore, due to a thriving mining industry and a lack of tire production capacity, there is a world wide shortage of tires. As such mines and tire service companies are interested in finding suitable tire shortage coping strategies to improve tire performance, extend tire life and hence lower operating costs. This thesis presents the work done in a collaborative research project between the University of British Columbia and Fountain Tire Mine Service Ltd. This thesis reviews the relevant tire performance research, analyzes tire interactions with the surrounding environment, tire maintenance practices such as managing air pressure and rotation, and operational issues using case studies based on data collected from two mines. The research resulted in enhanced understanding of the impact of some factors and practices on off-the-road tires in mining application, as well the research provide a basis for improved tire management.

description: An empirically motivated model is presented for accretion-dominated growth of the super massive black holes (SMBH) in galaxies, and the implications are studied for the evolution of the quasar population in the universe. We investigate the core aspects of the quasar population, including space density evolution, evolution of the characteristic luminosity, plausible minimum masses of quasars, the mass function of SMBH and their formation epoch distribution. Our model suggests that the characteristic luminosity in the quasar luminosity function arises primarily as a consequence of a characteristic mass scale above which there is a systematic separation between the black hole and the halo merging rates. At lower mass scales, black hole merging closely tracks the merging of dark halos. When combined with a declining efficiency of black hole formation with redshift, the model can reproduce the quasar luminosity function over a wide range of redshifts. The observed space density evolution of quasars is well described by formation rates of SMBH above $\sim 10^8 M_\odot$. The inferred mass density of SMBH agrees with that found independently from estimates of the SMBH mass function derived empirically from the quasar luminosity function.

description: La région baignée par le fleuve Tocantins a été le théâtre d'un très complexe et très dur processus d'occupation, à la fois par d'immenses latifundia, de grands projets d'infra-structures et quantité d'exploitations paysannes. Les conditions physiques, économiques et sociales dans, lesquelles vivent les paysans immigrés les réduisent très souvent à une simple subsistance. La lutte entreprise pour la défense de leur terre et la survie de leurs exploitations les a amenés à chercher l'appui des organisations syndicales, assurant de la sorte à celles-ci un certain dynamisme. Les pouvoirs publics, par ailleurs, démontrent très peu d'intérêt pour la petite production agricole, ainsi très marginalisée. Le Centre agraire se propose, en un effort assez original dans le pays, de regrouper dans un travail conjoint de recherche-formation et développement, quelques institutions gouvernementales plus sensibles aux problèmes ruraux et les organisations paysannes d'une zone d'environ 50 000 km2. La présente communication a pour but d'expliquer le fonctionnement du projet, sa programmation et ses premières répercussions. ----- The région watered by the Tocantins river has been the theatre of a very complicated and hard process of occupation both by immense latifundia, big infrastructure projects and by many peasant farms. The physical, economic and a social conditions in which the immigrating peasants are living, very often reduce them to a simple subsistence. The struggle undertaken to the defense of their lands and the survival of their farms has led them to look for the support of unionist associations.This search give them some vitality. Moreover, the authorities show very little interest for the small scale agricultural production, thus becoming very marginal. Within an enough inventive effort in the country, the Agrarian Centre proposes to regroup, in a joint work of research, training and development, some government institutions more sensitive to the rural problems andthe peasant organisation of a zone of about 50,000 sq km This paper aims to explain the functioning of the project, its programming and its first impacts.

description: The Matrix Element Method (MEM) is a powerful method to extract information from measured events at collider experiments. Compared to multivariate techniques built on large sets of experimental data, the MEM does not rely on an examples-based learning phase but directly exploits our knowledge of the physics processes. This comes at a price, both in term of complexity and computing time since the required multi-dimensional integral of a rapidly varying function needs to be evaluated for every event and physics process considered. This can be mitigated by optimizing the integration, as is done in the MoMEMta package, but the computing time remains a concern, and often makes the use of the MEM in full-scale analysis unpractical or impossible. We investigate in this paper the use of a Deep Neural Network (DNN) built by regression of the MEM integral as an ansatz for analysis, especially in the search for new physics.

Subjects: subject: The debt problem, developing countries, debt bearing capacity, balance of payments,
subject: F32, F34

description: The paper looks at “the debt problem” and analyses its extent by taking a closer look at the assessment of the debt bearing capacity of countries. The author considers the economic factors which govern countries’ ability to service loans without impairing their growth or the flexibility of their balance of payments management. A sequence of development stages characterised by countries’ dependence on external capital and the level of debt is then described, and the relevance of this sequence for the assessment of debt bearing capacity is considered. The economic factors underlying the ability to service debt are then discussed and some further problems in the analysis of development debt are considered. Finally, some of the broader aspects of the debt problem are dealt with in the conclusion. JEL: F32, F34

description: We present experimental schemes to prepare the three-cavity GHZ-type and \emph{W}-type entangled coherent states in the context of dispersive cavity quantum electrodynamics. The schemes can be easily generalized to prepare the GHZ-type and \emph{W}-type entangled coherent states of $n$-cavity fields. The discussion of our schemes indicates that it can be realized by current technologies.

Electromagnetic form factors of octet baryons with the nonlocal chiral effective theory

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The electromagnetic form factors of octet baryons are investigated with the nonlocal chiral effective theory. The nonlocal interaction generates both the regulator which makes the loop integral convergent and the $Q^2$ dependence of form factors at tree level. Both octet and decuplet intermediate states are included in the one loop calculation. The momentum dependence of baryon form factors are studied up to 1 GeV$^2$ with the same number of parameters as for the nucleon form factors. The obtained magnetic moments of all the baryon octets as well as the radii are in good agreement with the experimental data and/or lattice simulation.
Connecting Lattice QCD with Chiral Perturbation Theory at Strong Coupling

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: We study the difficulties associated with detecting chiral singularities predicted by chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) in lattice QCD. We focus on the physics of the remnant O(2) chiral symmetry of staggered fermions in the strong coupling limit using the recently discovered directed path algorithm. Since it is easier to look for power-like singularities as compared to logarithmic ones, our calculations are performed at a fixed finite temperature in the chirally broken phase. We show that the behavior of the chiral condensate, the pion mass and the pion decay constant, for small masses, are all consistent with the predictions of ChPT. However, the values of the quark masses that we need to demonstrate this are much smaller than those being used in dynamical QCD simulations. We also need to use higher order terms in the chiral expansion to fit our data.

Tidal deformability and gravitational-wave phase evolution of magnetised compact-star binaries

description: The evolution of the gravitational-wave phase in the signal produced by inspiralling binaries of compact stars is modified by the nonzero deformability of the two stars. Hence, the measurement of these corrections has the potential of providing important information on the equation of state of nuclear matter. Extensive work has been carried out over the last decade to quantify these corrections, but it has so far been restricted to stars with zero intrinsic magnetic fields. While the corrections introduced by the magnetic tension and magnetic pressure are expected to be subdominant, it is nevertheless useful to determine the precise conditions under which these corrections become important. To address this question, we have carried out a second-order perturbative analysis of the tidal deformability of magnetised compact stars under a variety of magnetic-field strengths and equations of state describing either neutron stars or quark stars. Overall, we find that magnetically induced corrections to the tidal deformability will produce changes in the gravitational-wave phase evolution that are unlikely to be detected for realistic magnetic field i.e., $B\sim 10^{10} - 10^{12}\,{\rm G}$. At the same time, if the magnetic field is unrealistically large, i.e., $B\sim 10^{16}\,{\rm G}$, these corrections would produce a sizeable contribution to the phase evolution, especially for quark stars. In the latter case, the induced phase differences would represent a unique tool to measure the properties of the magnetic fields, providing information that is otherwise hard to quantify.
