description: Empirical studies to explain the reasons behind the 2007-2008 price volatility in the global food grain markets showed that among other factors, food grain stock especially stock-to-use ratio, was a major factor in price volatility. It has also been found that current data on stock at both global and national levels are inadequate, of poor quality and there is much to gain from investing in improving its quality for better understanding the price volatility in food grain markets and for take more appropriate policy decisions. Efforts are currently underway through a global project on Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) for improving the mechanism of collection and dissemination of food grain stock data. This study has been conducted as a part of that project implemented in Bangladesh. Past efforts in the collection and dissemination of food grain stock data in Bangladesh and their conceptual and methodological strengths and weaknesses have been reviewed with a view to identify data gaps, methodological deficiencies and suggest measures required for improvement. The review revealed that currently there is no mechanism for regular collection and dissemination of food grain stock data in spite of its usefulness in the formulation of food policy and monitoring food grain markets and prices. The accuracy of the economy-wide monthly stocks depends on the accuracy of the parameters and the assumptions made about gross and net production, marketed surplus and sales pattern by month, population, per capita consumption as well as estimates on carryover stocks, domestic procurement and disposal. There is hardly any consensus on the accuracy of the available statistics on these parameters either from nationwide or from sample surveys. Recommendations have been made on mechanism of good quality stock data collection using proper conceptual and methodological approaches.

description: The late growth stages and the post-growth diffusion of crystalline organic thin films have been investigated for 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) on Ag(111), a model system in organic epitaxy. In situ x-ray measurements at the anti-Bragg point during the growth show intensity oscillations followed by a time-independent intensity which is independent of the growth temperature. At T > 350 K, the intensity increases after growth up to a temperature-dependent saturation value due to a post-growth diffusion process. The time-independent intensity and the subsequent intensity recovery have been reproduced by models based on the morphology change as a function of the growth temperature. The morphology found after the post-growth diffusion processes has been studied by specular rod measurements.

description: The idea of modular invariance provides a novel explanation of flavour mixing. Within the context of finite modular symmetries $Γ_N$ and for a given element $γ\in Γ_N$, we present an algorithm for finding stabilisers (specific values for moduli fields $τ_γ$ which remain unchanged under the action associated to $γ$). We then employ this algorithm to find all stabilisers for each element of finite modular groups for $N=2$ to $5$, namely, $Γ_2\simeq S_3$, $Γ_3\simeq A_4$, $Γ_4\simeq S_4$ and $Γ_5\simeq A_5$. These stabilisers then leave preserved a specific cyclic subgroup of $Γ_N$. This is of interest to build models of fermionic mixing where each fermionic sector preserves a separate residual symmetry.

Nuestra aportación está en determinar qué capacidades específicas de las empresas de distribución de productos agroalimentarios colaboran a una mejora del re-sultado internacional. Se realiza un estudio cualitativo cuyos resultados permiten detectar las capacidades dinámicas específicas que ayudan a resolver en gran parte las barreras internas que dificultan el proceso de internacionalización; ello se traduce en un mejor resultado exportador. [EN]The agri-food sector faces important internal and external barriers to internationalization that could be overcome by the development of dynamic capabilities. Generic dynamic capabilities gene-rate sector and environment specific dynamic capabilities that directly contribute to overcome the barriers of internationalization. Our contribution is to determine which specific dynamic capabilities of the distri-bution companies collaborate to overcome these barriers and as a consequence to improve international results. A qualitative study with directors and managers of the sector was carried out. The results give rise to confirm that the specific dynamic capabilities largely help to resolve the internal barriers that hinder the internationalization process; this translates into a better export performance.

description: An elementary introduction is given to the subject of Supersymmetry in Quantum Mechanics. We demonstrate with explicit examples that given a solvable problem in quantum mechanics with n bound states, one can construct new exactly solvable n Hamiltonians having n-1,n-2,...,0 bound states. The relationship between the eigenvalues, eigenfunctions and scattering matrix of the supersymmetric partner potentials is derived and a class of reflectionless potentials are explicitly constructed. We extend the operator method of solving the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator problem to a class of potentials called shape invariant potentials. Further, we show that given any potential with at least one bound state, one can very easily construct one continuous parameter family of potentials having same eigenvalues and s-matrix. The supersymmetry inspired WKB approximation (SWKB) is also discussed and it is shown that unlike the usual WKB, the lowest order SWKB approximation is exact for the shape invariant potentials. Finally, we also construct new exactly solvable periodic potentials by using the machinery of supersymmetric quantum mechanics.

description: Abstract How Blockchain technology and other innovations change(d) the future of banking? Financial sector has become a fast-moving arena for new players, venture capitalists and technological innovators, where traditional banks are not fitting. It is essential for banks not only to embrace innovation, but also reconsider the whole value chain and relationships with a customer. New technologies like Blockchain could significantly reduce internal and external costs associated with banking services and contribute to a smother digital transformation. Blockchain is one of the key break-through technologies massively debated in the media and among financial expert is Blockchain technology. This technology is a decentralized ledger, working like a public ledger with distributed participants, where transactions are verified by the network, without any central authority. The system was created as an underlying system for a native cryptocurrency, more specifically Bitcoin. The beauty of the system is in its auditable, cost-effective and cryptographically protected secure nature. It is a new way to create and transform the value in the real-time. This disruptive technology is promising a real revolution in financial sector, which big banks don-t want to miss. There are already many use cases, where this technology can significantly improve banking operations and processes, among them are international payments, smart contracts, digital identity and smart assets. And many more to discover. The Blockchain technology is however in its early stage of experimentation, where there is a lot of uncertainty about, which dominant design of the technology will be adopted by the majority of financial institutions, and what is the time horizon for that. As there is a big interest from banks, regulators to investigate this technology in terms of justification of a business case and its usability, the adoption curve will be shortening year by year, as this collaborative actions will be bringing fruits very soon. There are however a lot of hurdles on the way, and one of them is a disparity of opinions and regulations of virtual currencies operated on the Blockchain in in different jurisdictions. If banks will cooperate in different geographies using a distributed ledger technology like Blockchain, there should be a regulatory framework created to harmonized this new value transfer. Banks at the same time, should carefully investigate all innovations existing on the market, before integrating them into their existing organizations. It is important to look at these innovations from the business case perspective, not just following the trend with the peers. The future of banks is not in fragmental update in their services or systems, but in redesigning their business models, reinvention of their new digital identities, and disruptive innovations can be just supportive steps on their transformations.

description: We examine the problem of transferring a policy learned in a source environment to a target environment with different dynamics, particularly in the case where it is critical to reduce the amount of interaction with the target environment during learning. This problem is particularly important in sim-to-real transfer because simulators inevitably model real-world dynamics imperfectly. In this paper, we show that one existing solution to this transfer problem - grounded action transformation - is closely related to the problem of imitation from observation (IfO): learning behaviors that mimic the observations of behavior demonstrations. After establishing this relationship, we hypothesize that recent state-of-the-art approaches from the IfO literature can be effectively repurposed for grounded transfer learning.To validate our hypothesis we derive a new algorithm - generative adversarial reinforced action transformation (GARAT) - based on adversarial imitation from observation techniques. We run experiments in several domains with mismatched dynamics, and find that agents trained with GARAT achieve higher returns in the target environment compared to existing black-box transfer methods

Our result holds to second order in the deformation parameter, and at the large $N$ planar limit. The method of calculation involves the analytic evaluation of integrals of four-point functions of two R-charged twisted Ramond fields and two marginal deformation operators. We also calculate the deviation from zero, at first order in the considered marginal perturbation, of the structure constant of the three-point function of two Ramond fields and one deformation operator.

description: [ES]Los cambios estructurales derivados de las políticas aplicadas en el sector agrario mexicano han deteriorado la capacidad productiva de los pequeños productores e incrementado la pobreza rural. Mediante una encuesta realizada a 132 pequeños productores de Hidalgo, México y Morelos, se precisaron sus condiciones productivas, alimenticias y de ingresos, y a través de un modelo logit multinomial se ana-lizó la suficiencia alimentaria. Los resultados indican que de no modificarse sus condiciones productivas, la probabilidad de mejorar su situación alimenticia es baja, redundando en la agudización de su pobreza. [EN]The structural changes ensuing from the policies implemented in the primary sector in Mexico have led to the deterioration of food production capacity in small producers, increasing rural poverty. We performed 132 interviews with small producers in Hidalgo, Mexico and Morelos to assess production conditions and income, and used a multinomial logistic regression model to assess food self-sufficiency. The results indicate that if the level of food production is not substantially changed, then the probability of improving food self-sufficiency is low; giving rise to the subsequent deepening of poverty.

Potential energy surfaces without unphysical discontinuities: the Coulomb-hole plus screened exchange approach

description: In this work we show the advantages of using the Coulomb-hole plus screened-exchange (COHSEX) approach in the calculation of potential energy surfaces. In particular, we demonstrate that, unlike perturbative $GW$ and partial self-consistent $GW$ approaches, such as eigenvalue-self-consistent $GW$ and quasi-particle self-consistent $GW$, the COHSEX approach yields smooth potential energy surfaces without irregularities and discontinuities. Moreover, we show that the ground-state potential energy surfaces (PES) obtained from the Bethe-Salpeter equation, within the adiabatic connection fluctuation dissipation theorem, built with quasi-particle energies obtained from perturbative COHSEX on top of Hartree-Fock (BSE@COHSEX@HF) yield very accurate results for diatomic molecules close to their equilibrium distance. When self-consistent COHSEX quasi-particle energies and orbitals are used to build the BSE equation the results become independent of the starting point. We show that self-consistency worsens the total energies but improves the equilibrium distances with respect to BSE@COHSEX@HF. This is mainly due to changes in the screening inside the BSE.

description: Cells regulate themselves via dizzyingly complex biochemical processes called signaling pathways. These are usually depicted as a network, where nodes represent proteins and edges indicate their influence on each other. In order to understand diseases and therapies at the cellular level, it is crucial to have an accurate understanding of the signaling pathways at work. Since signaling pathways can be modified by disease, the ability to infer signaling pathways from condition- or patient-specific data is highly valuable. A variety of techniques exist for inferring signaling pathways. We build on past works that formulate signaling pathway inference as a Dynamic Bayesian Network structure estimation problem on phosphoproteomic time course data. We take a Bayesian approach, using Markov Chain Monte Carlo to estimate a posterior distribution over possible Dynamic Bayesian Network structures. Our primary contributions are (i) a novel proposal distribution that efficiently samples sparse graphs and (ii) the relaxation of common restrictive modeling assumptions. We implement our method, named Sparse Signaling Pathway Sampling, in Julia using the Gen probabilistic programming language. Probabilistic programming is a powerful methodology for building statistical models. The resulting code is modular, extensible, and legible. The Gen language, in particular, allows us to customize our inference procedure for biological graphs and ensure efficient sampling. We evaluate our algorithm on simulated data and the HPN-DREAM pathway reconstruction challenge, comparing our performance against a variety of baseline methods. Our results demonstrate the vast potential for probabilistic programming, and Gen specifically, for biological network inference. Find the full codebase at https://github.com/gitter-lab/ssps

description: Рубеж XIX–XX вв. в России ознаменовался возрастающим влиянием Фридриха Ницше, мечтавшего о возвращении к эллинскому язычеству. Ответной реакцией на распространение подобных идей стали поиски духовных скреп, соединяющих Афины и Иерусалим. Мыслитель С. Н. Трубецкой пришел к выводу, что орфические мистерии подготовили древний мир к принятию христианства. Эти идеи, высказанные в книге «Метафизика в Древней Греции», затем творчески использовал поэт и теоретик символизма Вячеслав Иванов в своих работах, посвященных религии Диониса. В его трудах по классической филологии, тем не менее, ни разу не упоминается имя С. Н. Трубецкого. Дело в том, что теоретик символизма видел в эллинской религии живое подобие Ветхого Завета. С. Н. Трубецкой, напротив, признавал лишь внешнее сходство языческих таинств и христианства, подчеркивая их сущностные различия. Сделанные им выводы ставили под сомнение ключевые положения концепции Иванова.

description: The aim of the paper was to present the situation of the main cereals' producers in EU in 1991-2014. Cereals area, yields and production volume, as well as production structures and policy implications of the production were analysed. The results show that the production in the EU was increasing in the discussed period. At the same time the market intervention level decreased and the sector underwent the processes of concentration. Despite of the structural positive changes, both the structure and productivity of the cereals-producing farms situated in central European countries has stayed disadvantageous compared to UE15. More favourable production structures, thus higher productivity of EU15 farms, will determine their market competitiveness. However, the countries with lower yields may also increase their production, taking into consideration the expected price rise and growing demand for cereals.

A novel truncation scheme is further proposed and compared with other approaches to close the resulting hierarchically coupled equations of motion. The interplay between system-bath interaction strength, non-Markovian property, and required level of hierarchy is also demonstrated with the aid of simple spin-boson systems.

lisp

description: Elderly listeners often have trouble understanding mispronounced speech. Specifically, this may happen in communication with grandchildren, who may have a lisp or simply talk quickly and unclearly. Lisping is a popular term for different types of consonant mispronunciation and is a common stage in speech development. These communication problems are worse in noise, since the content of the noise can mask the already ambiguously pronounced consonants. 

Here, we are interested in investigating the benefit of an adapted onset enhancement algorithm, as a method for improving speech understanding of lisped speech in noise. The algorithm was adapted to specifically enhance lisped speech onsets.

In order to investigate the effect of the algorithm, we recorded professional speech therapists from a speech therapy school in Nürnberg. The ability to produce different types of lisping is one of the speech therapist’s learned assets. We asked them to read the fairy tale "Nordwind und Sonne" and minimal word pairs, in normal pronunciation and in three different types of lisping. From these recordings, we developed a study protocol, consisting of two specific tests.

Seven normal hearing listeners participated in the study. Their subjective impression was assessed while listening to the fairy tale recordings. The objective performance was evaluated with the minimal word pairs test. In both tests the material was processed with and without the mentioned algorithm. The results of the study will be presented and discussed.

description: Atomic interferometers measure phase differences along paths with exceptional precision. Tweezer interferometry represents a novel approach for this measurement by guiding particles along predefined trajectories. This study explores the feasibility of using condensed bosons in tweezer interferometry. Unlike the factor $\sqrt{N}$ enhancement expected with classical ensembles, using NOON state interferometry can yield an enhancement by a factor of $N$. We consider a protocol for a tweezer-based NOON state interferometer that includes adiabatic splitting and merging of condensed bosons, followed by adiabatic branching for phase encoding. Our theoretical analysis focuses on the conditions necessary to achieve adiabaticity and avoid spontaneous symmetry breaking. Additionally, we demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme and estimate the time required to perform these sweep processes.

The carried out analysis showed that the furniture industry companies in Poland in the years 2006–2013 in general had the ability to meet their current liabilities. Current and quick liquidity developed for them on a stable and positive level, coinciding with the recommendations of the theory of fi nance. However, from the working capital cycle’s point of view, the assessment of liquidity furniture manufacturing sector is clearly less favourable, and it results from relatively long collecting dues cycles ranging close to 60 days. The less favourable assessment comes from the fact that the long collecting dues cycles have eff ects on exceeding duration of the recovery measures’ applications, which in turn, may turn into a build-up of the payment backlogs, and thus into reductions of the ability to fi nance business and into the risk of production’s reduction

description: Neutrino oscillation experiments will be entering the precision era in the next decade with the advent of high statistics experiments like DUNE, HK, and JUNO. Correctly estimating the confidence intervals from data for the oscillation parameters requires very large Monte Carlo data sets involving calculating the oscillation probabilities in matter many, many times. In this paper, we leverage past work to present a new, fast, precise technique for calculating neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter optimized for long-baseline neutrino oscillations in the Earth's crust including both accelerator and reactor experiments. For ease of use by theorists and experimentalists, we provide fast c++ and fortran codes.

description: Constrained molecular dynamics(CoMD) model, previously introduced for nuclear dynamics, has been extended to the atomic structure and collision calculations. Quantum effects corresponding to the Pauli and Heisenberg principle are enforced by constraints, in a parameter-free way. Our calculations for small atomic system, H, He, Li, Be, F reproduce the ground-state binding energies within 3%, compared with the results of quantum mechanical Hartree-Fock calculations.

description: The silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs) are commonly used in the construction of radiation detectors such as those used in high energy experiments and its applications, where an excellent time resolution is required for triggering. In most of this cases, the trigger systems electric charge information is discarded due to limitations in data acquisition. In this work we propose a method using a simple radiation detector based on an organic plastic scintillator $2\times2\times0.3$~cm$^3$ size, to estimate the electric charge obtained from the acquisition of the fast output signal of a SensL SiPM model C-60035-4P-EVB. Our results suggest a linear relation between the reconstructed electric charge from the fast output of the SiPM used with respect to the one reconstructed with its standard signal output. Using our electric charge reconstruction method, we compared the sensitivity of two plastic scintillators, BC404 and BC422Q, under the presence of Sr90, Cs137, Co60, and Na22 radiation sources.

Complexity and crisis : an analysis of cognitive performance under stress in the case of George W. Bush
Creators: name: Came, Timothy Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The deleterious effects of stress on cognition have been well established, both experimentally and in archival research. Such effects are not universal, however, and individual differences in the susceptibility of senior political leaders to these effects are of considerable importance. The present study employs Integrative Complexity (IC) coding to investigate the relationship between stresshl conditions and cognitive complexity in the case of U.S. President George W. Bush. In addition to assessing whether or not Mr. Bush shows unusual resistance to stress, as several contributors to the biographical and journalistic literatures concerning him and his presidency have suggested (Study I), the project was designed to also perform an initial test of the hypothesis that U.S. presidents’ patterns of cognitive response to stress can be predicted by the patterns evinced during their first successful presidential campaign (Study 11) and test theory which posits that conservatives show low IC across issues and conditions against the case of Mr. Bush (Study 111). The strength of the results was attenuated by low inter-rater reliability in measurement of IC. However, the initial results, subject to revision pending re-coding of the materials studied, disconfirmed assertions that Mr. Bush shows unusual resistance to stress (Study I), found qualified support for the hypothesis that U.S. presidents’ cognitive patterns under stress can be predicted by their patterns as presidential candidates (Study 11), and showed significant differences in President Bush’s IC across issue domains, lending support to the cognitive manager and value pluralism views of IC against the predictions of the ideologue and rigidity-of-the-right hypotheses. Further research is indicated, particularly with regard to studies I and 11.

description: Recently, a novel low-energy collective excitation has been predicted to exist at metal surfaces where a quasi two-dimensional (2D) surface-state band coexists with the underlying three-dimensional (3D) continuum. Here we present a model in which the screening of a semiinfinite 3D metal is incorporated into the description of electronic excitations in a 2D electron gas through the introduction of an effective 2D dielectric function. Our self-consistent calculations of the dynamical response of the 3D substrate indicate that an acoustic surface plasmon exists for all possible locations of the 2D sheet relative to the metal surface. This low-energy excitation, which exhibits linear dispersion at low wave vectors, is dictated by the nonlocality of the 3D dynamical response providing incomplete screening of the 2D electron-density oscillations.

Network mutual information measures for graph similarity

description: A wide range of tasks in network analysis, such as clustering network populations or identifying anomalies in temporal graph streams, require a measure of the similarity between two graphs. To provide a meaningful data summary for downstream scientific analyses, the graph similarity measures used for these tasks must be principled, interpretable, and capable of distinguishing meaningful overlapping network structure from statistical noise at different scales of interest. Here we derive a family of graph mutual information measures that satisfy these criteria and are constructed using only fundamental information theoretic principles. Our measures capture the information shared among networks according to different encodings of their structural information, with our mesoscale mutual information measure allowing for network comparison under any specified network coarse-graining. We test our measures in a range of applications on real and synthetic network data, finding that they effectively highlight intuitive aspects of network similarity across scales in a variety of systems.
