description: My Grandfather was a Captain in the British Merchant Navy during WW2. During the evacuation from France in 1940 he claimed he was the last merchant ship to leave the port. He had orders to wait for members of the Calais 'administration'. He once told my mother that the Royal Navy Captain who was escorting his ship out of the port, wished him well and said they could not wait any longer; he would have to survive on his own without protection. However, the RN Captain said he owned a bar in the town, and he now gave it to my grandfather (he claimed it was the Prince of Wales, but this has never been verified). In 1941, his ship, the SS Blacktoft, was attacked by German aircraft on the east coast of England. He received the OBE for his bravery during this action. By 1945, he seemed to be on secret special wartime service for the US Government (I had to go into a special room at the National Archives to read of his wartime service. In this room, I was supervised.) In May 1945, he appeared in Trondheim in Norway. The Royal Navy had captured the German State Yacht, the Aviso Grille. This was the yacht that Hitler planned to sail up the Thames to Windsor, where he was to set up his HQ, upon a successful invasion of Britain in 1940. The RN captain invited my grandfather aboard the 'Aviso Grille' where he was invited to take a souvenir for posterity. He chose the ship's barograph from the bridge and began to use it for himself on his many subsequent journeys across the world. I learned all about this by finding a newspaper cutting hidden away following his death in 1984, at the age of 90. The cutting was from the New Zealand newspaper, the Taranaki Herald in 1961 relating the story of how he acquired the barograph. At home he rarely talked about his exploits in the War. So, 40 years on from his death, we have a piece of Hitler's yacht sitting in a cupboard; a unique and valuable piece of history that would otherwise remain unheard of and therefore unknown.

description: Attention to processes has increased, as thousands of organizations have adopted processfocused practices, including TQM and ISO 9000. Proponents of such programs stress the promise of improved efficiency and profitability. But research has not consistently borne out these prospects. Moreover, the expectation of universal benefits is not consistent with research highlighting the important role of firm-specific capabilities in sustaining competitive advantage. In this paper, we use longitudinal panel data for firms in the auto supplier industry to study two new issues. First, we find that, with the majority of firms within an industry adopting process management practices, late adopters no longer gain financial benefits from these practices. Second, we explore how firm technological capabilities moderate the performance advantages of process management. We find that firms that are very narrowly- or broadly- oriented have fewer opportunities for complementary interactions that arise from process management practices and thus benefit less than those with limited breadth in technologically related activities.

description: We show that narrow superconducting strips in superconducting (S) and normal (N) states are universally described by the model presenting them as lateral NSN proximity systems in which the superconducting central band is sandwiched between damaged edge-bands with suppressed superconductivity.The width of the superconducting band was experimentally determined from the value of magnetic field at which the band transits from the Meissner state to the static vortex state. Systematic experimental study of 4.9 nm thick NbN strips with widths in the interval from 50 nm to 20 $μ$m, which are all smaller than the Pearl's length, demonstrates gradual evolution of the temperature dependence of the critical current with the change of the strip width.
Infrared observations of a mid-L dwarf with strong H$α$ emission

description: We present {\it Spitzer}/IRAC observations of the L5 dwarf, 2MASSI J1315309-264951 (2M1315). This ultracool dwarf is known to display strong emission in the H$α$ line. The SED for this object does not show any IR excess, that would indicate the presence of an accretion disk. Although the IRAC colors for 2M1315 are consistent with other L dwarfs, they seem to be redder by $\sim$0.1 mag compared to the other L5 dwarfs, and more like the late-type L dwarfs. The existing six epochs of spectroscopy suggest that the emission in H$α$ is not persistent, but shows long-term variability between a flare value of $\sim$100 $Å$ and a quiescent value of $\sim$25 $Å$. Chromospheric activity seems to be the most likely cause, which is also indicated by the detection of Na I D lines in emission (Fuhrmeister et al.). We have measured a proper motion of 0.79$\arcsec\pm$ 0.06$\arcsec$/yr, that corresponds to a tangential velocity of $\sim$81 km/s, at a distance of $\sim$22 pc. The high $V_{tan}$ for this object suggests an old age. Evolutionary models indicate lower limits of 3.3 Gyr (Chabrier et al.) or 1.4 Gyr (Burrows et al.) for this magnetically active L dwarf to be a stable hydrogen-burning star. There seem to be no observational differences between this old L dwarf that has H$α$ emission and the other field L dwarfs without it.

description: The extent to which society benefits from an upgrade to a telecommunications network infrastructure depends on when that upgrade occurs. This paper discusses a proactive pricing approach in which the regulator defines a pricing policy to induce a profit-seeking monopoly carrier to upgrade the infrastructure at the socially desirable time. We discuss how the regulator can determine the optimal time to upgrade the infrastructure, and specify a proactive pricing policy to induce that timing. We also demonstrate a tradeoff between promoting social efficiency and protecting consumer interests in applying that approach.

description: Measuring the scattering of longitudinally-polarized vector bosons represents a fundamental test of ElectroWeak Symmetry Breaking. In addition to the challenges provided by low rates and large backgrounds, there are conceptual issues which need to be clarified for the definition of a suitable signal. Since vector bosons are unstable and can only be observed through their decay products, the polarization states interfere among themselves. Moreover, already at tree level, there are diagrams which cannot be interpreted as production times decay of EW bosons but are necessary for gauge invariance. We discuss a possible way to define a cross section for polarized $W$'s, dropping all non resonant diagrams, and projecting on shell the resonant ones, thus, preserving gauge invariance. In most cases, the sum of polarized distributions reproduces the full results. In the absence of cuts, the ratios of the polarized cross sections to the full one agree with the results of a standard projection on Legendre polynomials. While the latter cannot be employed in a realistic environment, a comparison of the data with the shapes of the angular distributions for polarized vector bosons allows the extraction of the polarization fractions in the presence of selection cuts on the charged leptons.

description: My father kept a diary for most of his life, including during WWII. In his 80s, he started typing up his notes on a PC and shared them with the family. Since we had recently self-published our own local history book, we decided to offer to produce a book of his wartime memories for his 91st birthday, which he could pass on to family and friends. He was delighted, and in the end, we printed some 70 copies which he gave to others.

description: Deliverable D3.7 focuses on analysing and optimising European macro transport flows (based on Eurostat data from 2015). It provides insight of the cost and CO2 savings potential of several scenarios applied to European transport flows. Moreover, it shows the
 potential in the European network for collaborative transport between intermodal logistics clusters, i.e. agglomerations of several types of firms and operations (logistics service providers, logistics operators, linked logistics industries and manufacturing). Furthermore, it
 indicates the benefits of collaborative transport with respect to increased transport efficiency and multimodality and as a result decreased costs and emissions.

description: In most studies for the quantification of the third thermodynamic law, the minimum temperature which can be achieved with a long but finite-time process scales as a negative power of the process duration. In this article, we use our recent complete solution for the optimal control problem of the quantum parametric oscillator to show that the minimum temperature which can be obtained in this system scales exponentially with the available time. The present work is expected to motivate further research in the active quest for absolute zero.

description: We study the SUSY SO(10) GUT with the symmetric two-zero textures of quark/lepton mass matrix which realize the Georgei-Jarlskog relations in down-type quark and charged lepton masses. We show that the important constraints to such framework come from the bottom-tau unification and the observed value of $\sin2β$, one of the angles in the CKM unitarity triangle. We investigate the symmetric two-zero textures assumed at the GUT scale by solving the MSSM renormalization group equations with right-handed neutrino threshold effects. As a result, the value of $\tan\tildeβ$ is constrained to be large enough and the representation of Higgs field which couples to the third generation of left- and right-handed neutrinos is restricted by the bottom-tau unification condition. The textures with vanishing 1-2 (and 2-1) element for up-type quarks and vanishing 1-3 (and 3-1) element for down-type quarks are favored by the observation of $\sin2β$.

description: The effectiveness of many proposed policies regarding both online copyright protection and network neutrality depend on the extent to which it is technically possible to detect peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P), the transfer of copyrighted files, or both. There are many detection approaches, some performed primarily by network operators and some by application-layer agents. This paper describes capabilities, limitations, privacy issues, and policy implications of detection technologies and their countermeasures, in part through quantitative analysis of empirical data. Different approaches are better for different purposes. Network operators are well-positioned to estimate how widespread copyright violations are, but application-layer detection from outside entities has important advantages when the purpose is punishment. Detection is also imperfect, so policies should require more transparency regarding how it is done than we see today. It is shown that, although network operators may not detect every transfer, and they typically miss more video than audio, they can identify most individuals who share copyrighted files via P2P after several weeks of monitoring provided that traffic is unencrypted, which is useful for some purposes. However, it is also shown that encryption is already in use, and it effectively prevents network operators from detecting transfers of copyrighted content. Thus, if network operators are held responsible for monitoring illegal file sharing, there is a tension between using detection to identify violators of copyright law for punishment, which may motivate even greater use of encryption, and using detection for other purposes such as creating fair compensation schemes for copyright-holders, warning users that they may be violating copyright law, or allocating network resources. Alternatively, there are forms of detection that are not evaded through encryption, and application-layer agents rather than network operators are primarily responsible for these. These copyright policy issues are intertwined with network neutrality policy in subtle ways. Network neutrality rules do not protect illegal transfers of copyrighted content, but if network operators are responsible for enforcement (as in “graduated response”) then regulators must determine when it is reasonable to terminate or degrade service based on allegations of copyright violation given the limitations of detection technology to prove those allegations. Allegations of copyright violation should be considered invalid unless they are accompanied with information about how detection was performed and an opportunity for rebuttal. Such transparency has been routinely lacking in both laws and industry agreements.

description: Myristica fragrans Houtt., the source of very important spice ‘nutmeg’ used world over is native to India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South Africa and Southeast Asia. Phytochemical investigation of M. fragrans stem bark led to the isolation of bis-aryl dimethyl tetrahydrofuran lignans, such as grandisin [(7S,8S,7′S,8′S)-3,3′,4,4′,5,5′-hexamethoxy-7,7′,8,8′-lignan] and (7S,8S,7′R,8′R)-3,3′,4,4′,5,5′-hexamethoxy-7,7′,8,8′-lignan along with important lignans and neolignans, licarinA, licarin B, odoratisol A, (2S, 3R)-7-methoxy-3-methyl-5-((E)-prop-1-enyl)-2-(5-methoxy,3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran, elemicin, fragransin B1, raphidecursinol B, erythro-(7S,8R)-Δ8′-4,7-dihydroxy-3,5,3′-trimethoxy-8-O-4′-neolignan, erythro-(7S,8R)-Δ8′-7-hydroxy-3,4,3′,5′-tetramethoxy-8-O-4′-neolignan, surinamensin.and β-sitosterol. Structures of the 12 compounds isolated were unambiguously identified by various spectroscopic methods. The former two compounds were isolated from M. fragrans for the first time. Furthermore, the X-ray crystal structure of odoratisol A is reported in this paper for the first time.

description: Writer identification from musical score documents is a challenging task due to its inherent problem of overlapping of musical symbols with staff lines. Most of the existing works in the literature of writer identification in musical score documents were performed after a preprocessing stage of staff lines removal. In this paper we propose a novel writer identification framework in musical documents without removing staff lines from documents. In our approach, Hidden Markov Model has been used to model the writing style of the writers without removing staff lines. The sliding window features are extracted from musical score lines and they are used to build writer specific HMM models. Given a query musical sheet, writer specific confidence for each musical line is returned by each writer specific model using a loglikelihood score. Next, a loglikelihood score in page level is computed by weighted combination of these scores from the corresponding line images of the page. A novel Factor Analysis based feature selection technique is applied in sliding window features to reduce the noise appearing from staff lines which proves efficiency in writer identification performance.In our framework we have also proposed a novel score line detection approach in musical sheet using HMM. The experiment has been performed in CVC-MUSCIMA dataset and the results obtained that the proposed approach is efficient for score line detection and writer identification without removing staff lines. To get the idea of computation time of our method, detail analysis of execution time is also provided.

description: Over 24 years of synoptic data from the NSO Kitt Peak Vacuum Telescope is used to investigate the coherency and source of the 27-day (synodic) periodicity that is observed over multiple solar cycles in various solar-related time series. A strong 27.03-day period signal, recently reported by Neugebauer et al. (2000), is clearly detected in power spectra of time series from integrated full-disk measurements of the magnetic flux in the 868.8 nm Fe I line and the line equivalent width in the 1083.0 nm He I line. Using spectral analysis of synoptic maps of photospheric magnetic fields, in addition to constructing maps of the surface distribution of activity, we find that the origin of the 27.03-day signal is long-lived complexes of active regions in the northern hemisphere at a latitude of approximately 18 degrees. In addition, using a new time series analysis technique which utilizes the phase variance of a signal, the coherency of the 27.03-day period signal is found to be significant for the past two decades. However, using the past 120 years of the sunspot number time series, the 27.03-day period signal is found to be a short-lived, no longer than two 11-year solar cycles, quasi-stationary signal.

description: We consider a new class of problems in elasticity, referred to as Data-Driven problems, defined on the space of strain-stress field pairs, or phase space. The problem consists of minimizing the distance between a given material data set and the subspace of compatible strain fields and stress fields in equilibrium. We find that the classical solutions are recovered in the case of linear elasticity. We identify conditions for convergence of Data-Driven solutions corresponding to sequences of ap- proximating material data sets. Specialization to constant material data set sequences in turn establishes an appropriate notion of relaxation. We find that relaxation within this Data-Driven framework is fundamentally different from the classical relaxation of energy functions. For instance, we show that in the Data-Driven framework the relaxation of a bistable material leads to material data sets that are not graphs.

description: This paper provides insights into (1) the impact of production location on design competitiveness and (2) the tension between product customization for regional production and for product customization for regional markets. The results show that as production and demand for automobiles shifts to emerging economies, and in particular to China, there may be a shift in the technologies that are competitive. Specifically, contrary to conventional wisdom, innovative new polymer composite vehicle bodies – a critical energy-savings technology – are less costcompetitive in China than in the United States. Production characteristics are different abroad, and the prevailing steel body technology is more cost-competitive in China. Further, while national differences in market characteristics improve the competitiveness of the composite design in China, this advantage is far outweighed by the above-discussed penalty from differences in production. These results suggest that in cases such as automobile bodies where markets and manufacturing location are tightly coupled, firms may need to put as much or more emphasis on understanding the impact of local production differences on technology competitiveness as in understanding local markets.

description: In recent years, recognition of text from natural scene image and video frame has got increased attention among the researchers due to its various complexities and challenges. Because of low resolution, blurring effect, complex background, different fonts, color and variant alignment of text within images and video frames, etc., text recognition in such scenario is difficult. Most of the current approaches usually apply a binarization algorithm to convert them into binary images and next OCR is applied to get the recognition result. In this paper, we present a novel approach based on color channel selection for text recognition from scene images and video frames. In the approach, at first, a color channel is automatically selected and then selected color channel is considered for text recognition. Our text recognition framework is based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) which uses Pyramidal Histogram of Oriented Gradient features extracted from selected color channel. From each sliding window of a color channel our color-channel selection approach analyzes the image properties from the sliding window and then a multi-label Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is applied to select the color channel that will provide the best recognition results in the sliding window. This color channel selection for each sliding window has been found to be more fruitful than considering a single color channel for the whole word image. Five different features have been analyzed for multi-label SVM based color channel selection where wavelet transform based feature outperforms others. Our framework has been tested on different publicly available scene/video text image datasets. For Devanagari script, we collected our own data dataset. The performances obtained from experimental results are encouraging and show the advantage of the proposed method.

description: There are growing opportunities for the wireless industry to deploy products in the unlicensed spectrum, where no licensing is required and devices share the spectrum. The unlicensed spectrum (PCS band at 2 GHz, the National Information Infrastructure (NII) band at 5 GHz, and the millimeter wave band at 59-64 GHz) offers several benefits, but there are serious challenges to overcome before these benefits can be fully realized. Foremost among these is the risk of inefficient utilization, resulting from a lack of incentive to conserve the shared spectrum. This phenomenon is demonstrated in one scenario, and some techniques to deal with this problem are presented
Methods for separation and classification of microplastics in soil

description: Abstract: The presence of plastics in the natural environment is widely acknowledged, and despite the efforts of numerous institutions and ecological organizations, the scale of pollution remains high. In recent years, research has primarily focused on aquatic areas, including both coastal and oceanic zones, with less emphasis on freshwater and inland waters. Analyses of soil contamination are still insufficient to provide a comprehensive picture of the current situation. Soil is a highly heterogeneous and dynamic structure, characterised by varying contents of organic matter, mineral salts, and water, making the determination of microplastic content in it a challenge. Additionally, known thermal or reagent-based methods are not always effective, often altering the colour, structure, or properties of plastics, resulting in unreliable outcomes. In this article, the authors describe contemporary methods for the separation and identification of microplastics in soil, as well as sample preparation techniques used by various researchers. By compiling many significant facts, it becomes apparent how challenging the study of soil contaminated with microplastics is and how crucial it is to develop uniform analytical procedures.

description: Gamma-ray burst (GRB) emission is believed to originate in highly relativistic fireballs. Currently, only lower limits were securely set to the initial fireball Lorentz factor Gamma_0. We aim to provide a direct measure of Gamma_0. The early-time afterglow light curve carries information about Gamma_0, which determines the time of the afterglow peak. We have obtained early observations of the near-infrared afterglows of GRB 060418 and GRB 060607A with the REM robotic telescope. For both events, the afterglow peak could be clearly singled out, allowing a firm determination of the fireball Lorentz of Gamma_0 ~ 400, fully confirming the highly relativistic nature of GRB fireballs. The deceleration radius was inferred to be R_dec ~ 10^17 cm. This is much larger than the internal shocks radius (believed to power the prompt emission), thus providing further evidence for a different origin of the prompt and afterglow stages of the GRB.

description: Frank Albert Ford was awarded the D.S.M for bravery and resourcefulness. He served on HMS Calcutta and when it was hit, he stayed on board burning all the papers. He was in the sea for three hours before being picked up. He was taken to Alexandra and it was three years before he returned to the UK. He received the DSM from the King who said to him, 'You have been a long while coming to get this'. He was awarded the DSM for bravery and resourcefulness.He joined the Navy aged 15 years. When the war over, he wanted a change and went into the South African Navy, and then later, into the East African Navy.He never spoke about the war and the contributor wishes they knew a lot more about him.

description: We calculate the radiative decay amplitude for Majorana neutrinos in trilinear R-parity violating supersymmetric framework. Our results make no assumption regarding the masses and mixings of fermions and sfermions. The results obtained are exemplary for generic models with loop-generated neutrino masses. Comparison of this amplitude with the neutrino mass matrix shows that the two provide independent probes of CP-violating phases.

description: Thanks to the low operational cost and large storage capacity of smartphones and wearable devices, people are recording many hours of daily activities, sport actions and home videos. These videos, also known as egocentric videos, are generally long-running streams with unedited content, which make them boring and visually unpalatable, bringing up the challenge to make egocentric videos more appealing. In this work we propose a novel methodology to compose the new fast-forward video by selecting frames based on semantic information extracted from images. The experiments show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art as far as semantic information is concerned and that it is also able to produce videos that are more pleasant to be watched.

description: The UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) is the first of a new generation of hemispheric imaging projects to extend the work of the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) by reaching three magnitudes deeper in YJHK imaging, to K=18.2 (5-sigma, Vega) over wide fields. Better complementing existing optical surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the resulting public imaging catalogues provide new photometry of rare object samples too faint to be reached previously. The first data release of UKIDSS has already surpassed 2MASS in terms of photons gathered, and using this new dataset we examine the near-infrared properties of 2837 quasars found in the SDSS and newly catalogued by the UKIDSS in ~189 square degrees. The matched quasars include the RA range 22hr to 4hr on the Southern Equatorial Stripe (SDSS Stripe 82), an area of significant future followup possibilities with deeper surveys and pointed observations. The sample covers the redshift and absolute magnitude ranges 0.08

description: The MAELSTROM project aims to test and evaluate innovative technologies for the removal of marine litter in different coastal environments, while also assessing their impact on the ecosystems in selected demo sites and evaluating the economic and societal benefits of the MAELSTROM solutions within local economies. The Deliverable 2.1 - Report on the characterization of major sources of marine litter and macro-plastic in the demo sites, aimed to create the baseline knowledge about marine litter sources both land and sea-based. An overall review on marine litter sources, in particular macro-plastic, was performed at European level. The review was based on information available from literature and the results served as reference to frame the results of the specific literature surveys focused on the two demo sites. In the two demo sites, i.e the Lagoon of Venice and the North Western coast of Portugal, detailed studies focused on the identification and mapping of the sources of macroplastic were analysed. In particular, information about mass flow and about the characteristics of the macro-plastics was collected to identify their potential sources and pathways. The survey was performed through the consultation and analysis of existing databases on marine litter data on the sea floor, rivers and beaches. This allowed to organize the marine litter data available for demo sites upon spatial layers to support the comparison with the applied dispersal numerical models. The collected information and data will feed the numerical models run in T2.2.
