description: Podstawowym celem artykułu jest przybliżenie dwóch wzajemnie powiązanych koncepcji istotnych z perspektywy zarządzania publicznego w ramach polityki wobec starzenia się społeczeństwa na poziomie lokalnym. Pierwsza koncepcja to "inteligentne miasta", która dotyczy wykorzystania nowych technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych do poprawy zarządzania miastami oraz dostarczania obywatelom innowacyjnych usług publicznych. Druga koncepcja to "miasta przyjazne starzeniu się", która obejmuje optymalizację wszystkich funkcji miejskich do potrzeb wszystkich grup wiekowych oraz wykorzystanie szerokiego zaangażowania interesariuszy na rzecz poprawy jakości życia w okresie starości. Drugim celem jest wskazanie prób praktycznego wdrażania tych koncepcji w krajach Grupy Wyszehradzkiej, które w odróżnieniu od omawianych zazwyczaj w literaturze przykładów z Europy Zachodniej charakteryzują się nie tylko szybkim starzeniem się populacji, ale też niedostatkami infrastruktury. W podsumowaniu przybliżono wnioski z przeprowadzonej analizy oraz potencjalne dalsze kierunki badań. ** The main aim of this paper is to introduce two interrelated concepts relevant from the perspective of public management of the ageing policy at the local level. The first concept is "smart cities," which refers to the use of new information and communication technologies to improve urban management and delivery of innovative public services for citizens. The second concept is "age-friendly cities," which includes optimization of all municipal functions to meet the needs of all age groups and to use the wide involvement of relevant stakeholders to improve the quality of life in old age. The second aim of the paper is to describe closer attempts of the practical implementation of these concepts in countries of the Visegrad Group that unlike generally discussed in the literature examples from the Western Europe are not only characterized by rapidly ageing populations, but also shortcomings of the infrastructure. Conclusions include a summary of the undertaken analysis and potential future directions of research.

Taming Landau singularities in QCD perturbation theory: The analytic approach 2.0

description: The aim of this topical article is to outline the fundamental ideas underlying the recently developed Fractional Analytic Perturbation Theory (FAPT) of QCD and present its main calculational tools together with key applications. For this, it is first necessary to review previous methods to apply QCD perturbation theory at low spacelike momentum scales, where the influence of the Landau singularities becomes inevitable. Several concepts are considered and their limitations are pointed out. The usefulness of FAPT is discussed in terms of two characteristic hadronic quantities: the perturbatively calculable part of the pion's electromagnetic form factor in the spacelike region and the Higgs-boson decay into a $b\bar b$ pair in the timelike region. In the first case, the focus is on the optimization of the prediction with respect to the choice of the renormalization scheme and the dependence on the renormalization and the factorization scales. The second case serves to show that the application of FAPT to this reaction reaches already at the four-loop level an accuracy of the order of 1%, avoiding difficulties inherent in the standard perturbative expansion. The obtained results are compared with estimates from fixed-order and contour-improved QCD perturbation theory. Using the brand-new Higgs mass value of about 125 GeV, measured at the Large Hadron Collider (CERN), a prediction for $Γ_{H\to b\bar{b}}=2.4 \pm 0.15 {\rm MeV}$ is extracted.

description: We introduce contextual values as a generalization of the eigenvalues of an observable that takes into account both the system observable and a general measurement procedure. This technique leads to a natural definition of a general conditioned average that converges uniquely to the quantum weak value in the minimal disturbance limit. As such, we address the controversy in the literature regarding the theoretical consistency of the quantum weak value by providing a more general theoretical framework and giving several examples of how that framework relates to existing experimental and theoretical results.

description: Abstract

We report the synthesis, characterization, and structural evaluation of a new compound resulting from the condensation reaction of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (salicylaldehyde) with diphenylmethyl hydrazine. The reaction was conducted under mild conditions which resulted in a high yield of the desired compound, 2-{(E)-[2-(diphenylmethyl)hydrazinylidene]methyl}-3-methylphenol, (DHMP). We confirmed the structure of the synthesized Schiff base using several techniques, including FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. To check its purity, we performed elemental analysis, and for its thermal stability, we used thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Results showed significant structural stabilizing interactions such as hydrogen bonding and non-covalent interactions which may propose an insight into its coordination chemistry and possible biological activity. This produced compound has many values and can be utilized as drugs, catalysts and for many other industrial processes. This discovery contributes to the rising creation and application of hydrazone moieties.
Modelling the Spoon IRS diagnostic diagram

description: We explore whether our models for starbursts, quiescent star-forming galaxies and for AGN dust tori are able to model the full range of IRS spectra measured with Spitzer. The diagnostic plot of 9.7 mu silicate optical depth versus 6.2 mu PAH equivalent width, introduced by Spoon and coworkers in 2007, gives a good indication of the age and optical depth of a starburst, and of the contribution of an AGN dust torus. However there is aliasing between age and optical depth at later times in the evolution of a starburst, and between age and the presence of an AGN dust torus. Modeling the full IRS spectra and using broad-band 25-850 mu fluxes can help to resolve these aliases. The observed spectral energy distributions require starbursts of a range of ages with initial dust optical depth ranging from 50-200, optically thin dust emission ('cirrus') illuminated by a range of surface brightnesses of the interstellar radiation field, and AGN dust tori with a range of viewing angles.

description: We describe the Cool Opacity-sampling Dynamic EXtended (CODEX) atmosphere models of Mira variable stars, and examine in detail the physical and numerical approximations that go in to the model creation. The CODEX atmospheric models are obtained by computing the temperature and the chemical and radiative states of the atmospheric layers, assuming gas pressure and velocity profiles from Mira pulsation models, which extend from near the H-burning shell to the outer layers of the atmosphere. Although the code uses the approximation of Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE) and a grey approximation in the dynamical atmosphere code, many key observable quantities, such as infrared diameters and low-resolution spectra, are predicted robustly in spite of these approximations. We show that in visible light, radiation from Mira variables is dominated by fluorescence scattering processes, and that the LTE approximation likely under-predicts visible-band fluxes by a factor of two.

Human monkeypox virus and its evolution
Creators: name: Jonas, Wolf
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Human monkeypox virus (hMPXV) is an orthopoxvirus, that primarily affects monkeys and humans, causing a disease called monkeypox. More recently, some studies have been carried out to investigate the evolutionary dynamics of hMPXV based on genomic data available up to 2023. These studies used phylogenetic analyses to trace the genetic relationships between different strains of the monkeypox virus and provided information on the geographical distribution and transmission patterns of the virus. For example, different strains of hMPXV have been identified in Central Africa, West Africa, and even outside Africa, such as the United States of America (USA). Strains classified phylogenetically as belonging to the hMPVX clade I showed local spread in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Afterward, clade IIa spread from African countries (Ivory Coast, Liberia, and Sierra Leone) to North America (USA) and Europe (France). Clade IIb (A, A.1, A.1.1, B.1–B.1.17) of hMPXV contributes substantially to virus spread, which was the driving factor for the observed smallpox epidemic after May 2022. The evolution of hMPXV is an active area of research, and studies have provided insights into its genetic diversity, evolution, and transmission dynamics. This virus exhibits genetic diversity, with different strains or lineages identified based on genetic analysis. These strains may be associated with specific geographic regions or animal reservoirs. Genetic variation within the virus population can arise through various mechanisms, including spontaneous mutations, recombination events, and selection pressures acting during viral replication and transmission. Comparative genomic studies have been conducted to understand the genetic relationships between hMPXV and other orthopoxviruses, such as variola virus (the causative agent of smallpox) and vaccinia virus.

description: Die Nachfrage nach Proteinen für die menschliche und tierische Ernährung steigt. Als eine mögliche Alternative wird vermehrt die Nutzung von Algen- und Insektenproteinen diskutiert. Insbesondere in der Tierernährung können Algen- und Insektenproteine das bislang vornehmlich eingesetzte aber unter Gesichtspunkten der Nachhaltigkeit kritisch bewertete Soja (teilweise) ersetzen. Um die Potenziale der Algen- und Insektenproduktion in Deutschland einordnen zu können, werden im vorliegenden Beitrag anhand einer qualitativen Analyse die Einschätzungen von elf Experten entlang der Wertschöpfungskette ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass insbesondere hinsichtlich der Produktionstechnik aber auch der rechtlichen Produktionsvoraussetzungen weiterer Entwicklungsbedarf besteht, damit die inländische Algen- und Insektenproduktion eine tatsächliche Alternative zu den bereits etablierten Proteinfuttermitteln darstellen können.

The population dynamics of Newfoundland caribou
Creators: name: Bergerud, Arthur Thompson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The population dynamics of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) on the Island of Newfoundland were studied 1957 to 1967. Four herds were recognized and censused: the Northern Peninsula — 450 animals in 1958 and 400 in 1966, the Avalon Peninsula — 125 in 1957 and 720 in 1967, the Humber River — 130 in 1956 and 115 in 1964, and the Interior -- 4600 in 1957 and 6200 animals in 1966. The Island population 1900-1910 was estimated at 40,000 animals. After 1915 these herds rapidly declined and reached a low of perhaps only 2000 animals by 1930. The annual rate of increase (r) of all the herds was low. The Humber and Northern Peninsula herds showed no increase while the Interior Herd grew at only 0.044. The Avalon Peninsula Herd showed the greatest rate-of-increase 1961 to 1967, r= 0.120. The potential r of Newfoundland caribou is probably greater than 0.30. A herd of caribou introduced to Brunette Island increased at r=0.352, from 17 to 100 animals in 5 years. In the Interior Herd, birth rates were high and constant and averaged 0.85 calf per doe 2-years-of-age and older and 0.94 calf per doe 3 years and older. Natural mortality rates were low beyond 6-months-of-age. They were 4 per cent for does, yearlings, and calves and 9 per cent for stags 2-years-of-age and older. The kill of stags by hunters was 11 per cent and reduced the proportion of stags in the population. The survival of calves to 6-months-of-age was strongly correlated with growth of populations and appeared the main influence on numbers (correlation coefficient r=0.922, P<0.01). The mortality of calves in the first summer was high; an average of 69 per cent died in the Interior Herd and in the Avalon Peninsula Herd 30 per cent of the calves died. The major cause of mortality of calves was apparently predation by lynx (Lynx canadensis). As early as 2 weeks after calving, 27 per cent of the calves were missing. They were apparently dragged into forest cover by lynx. Of 114 dead or morbid calves located 74 per cent were bitten by lynx, escaped and had developed cervical abscesses from infections of Pasteurella multocida. The two major factors limiting populations of caribou in Newfoundland 1900 to 1967 appeared to be lynx predation of calves and shooting mortality of adults. Poor recruitment and high loss to hunting probably caused the decline of the herds 1915 to 1930. The primary factor limiting numbers in the Interior and Avalon Herds, 1957 to 1967 was lynx predation of calves in their first summer. Illegal hunting was probably important in the Northern Peninsula and Humber River herds 1957 to 1967.

description: This paper is a review of current developments in the study of moduli spaces of G2 manifolds. G2 manifolds are 7-dimensional manifolds with the exceptional holonomy group G2. Although they are odd-dimensional, in many ways they can be considered as an analogue of Calabi-Yau manifolds in 7 dimensions. They play an important role in physics as natural candidates for supersymmetric vacuum solutions of M-theory compactifications. Despite the physical motivation, many of the results are of purely mathematical interest. Here we cover the basics of G2 manifolds, local deformation theory of G2 structures and the local geometry of the moduli spaces of G2 structures.

description: In this work we prove global stability for the Boltzmann equation (1872) with the physical collision kernels derived by Maxwell in 1866 for the full range of inverse power intermolecular potentials, $r^{-(p-1)}$ with $p>2$. This completes the work which we began in (arXiv:0912.0888v1). We more generally cover collision kernels with parameters $s\in (0,1)$ and $γ$ satisfying $γ> -(n-2)-2s$ in arbitrary dimensions $\mathbb{T}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\ge 2$. Moreover, we prove rapid convergence as predicted by the Boltzmann H-Theorem. When $γ+ 2s \ge 0$, we have exponential time decay to the Maxwellian equilibrium states. When $γ+ 2s < 0$, our solutions decay polynomially fast in time with any rate. These results are constructive. Additionally, we prove sharp constructive upper and lower bounds for the linearized collision operator in terms of a geometric fractional Sobolev norm; we thus observe that a spectral gap exists only when $γ+ 2s \ge 0$, as conjectured in Mouhot-Strain (2007).

Near-Horizon Geometry and the Entropy of a Minimally Coupled Scalar Field in the Schwarzschild Black Hole

description: In this article, we will discuss a Lorentzian sector calculation of the entropy of a minimally coupled scalar field in the Schwarzschild black hole background using the brick wall model of 't Hooft. In the original article, the WKB approximation was used for the modes that are globally stationary. In a previous article, we found that the WKB quantization rule together with a proper counting of the states, leads to a new expression of the scalar field entropy which is not proportional to the area of the horizon. The expression of the entropy is logarithmically divergent in the brick wall cut-off parameter in contrast to an inverse power divergence obtained earlier. In this article, we will consider the entropy for a thin shell of matter field of a given thickness surrounding the black hole horizon. The thickness is chosen to be large compared with the Planck length and is of the order of the atomic scale. When expressed in terms of a covariant cut-off parameter, the entropy of a thin shell of matter field of a given thickness and surrounding the horizon in the Schwarzschild black hole background is given by an expression proportional to the area of the black hole horizon. This leading order divergent term in the cut-off parameter remains to be logarithmically divergent. The logarithmic divergence is expected from the nature of the solution in the near-horizon region. We will find that these discussions are significant in the context of the continuation to the Euclidean sector and the corresponding regularization schemes used to evaluate the thermodynamical properties of matter fields in curved spaces. These are related with the geometric aspects of curved spaces. The above discussions are also important in presence of cosmological event horizon.

description: Let $n$ be a positive integer and $α_n$ be the arithmetic function which assigns the multiplicative order of $a^n$ modulo $n$ to every integer $a$ coprime to $n$ and vanishes elsewhere. Similarly, let $β_n$ assign the projective multiplicative order of $a^n$ modulo $n$ to every integer $a$ coprime to $n$ and vanishes elsewhere. In this paper, we present a study of these two arithmetic functions. In particular, we prove that for positive integers $n_1$ and $n_2$ with the same square-free part, there exists an exact relationship between the functions $α_{n_1}$ and $α_{n_2}$ and between the functions $β_{n_1}$ and $β_{n_2}$. This allows us to reduce the determination of $α_n$ and $β_n$ to the case where $n$ is square-free. These arithmetic functions recently appeared in the context of an old problem of Molluzzo, and more precisely in the study of which arithmetic progressions yield a balanced Steinhaus triangle in $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ for $n$ odd.

The effect of these defects on the irreversible magnetisation in polycrystalline randomly oriented fragments was studied as a function of field angle and field sweep rate. We find that the critical current density is enhanced at fields below the matching field (~1 Tesla) but only marginally. The pinning enhancement is anisotropic and maximum along the defect direction at high temperatures but the pinning then becomes more isotropic at low temperatures. The creep rate is suppressed at high temperatures and at fields below the matching field, indicating the columnar defects are efficient pinning sites at these H and T conditions.

description: We present a novel method that predicts transmembrane domains in proteins using solely information contained in the sequence itself. The PRED-TMR algorithm described, refines a standard hydrophobicity analysis with a detection of potential termini ('edges', starts and ends) of transmembrane regions. This allows one both to discard highly hydrophobic regions not delimited by clear start and end configurations and to confirm putative transmembrane segments not distinguishable by their hydrophobic composition. The accuracy obtained on a test set of 101 non-homologous transmembrane proteins with reliable topologies compares well with that of other popular existing methods. Only a slight decrease in prediction accuracy was observed when the algorithm was applied to all transmembrane proteins of the SwissProt database (release 35). A WWW server running the PRED-TMR algorithm is available at http://o2.db.uoa. gr/PRED-TMR/

description: The text of this edition is a xerox copy of that found on pages 409 - 449 in Vol. 21 of the Biblioteca de Autores Espanoles, Madrid, 1946, which in turn is a re-print of the 1767 edition made by Francisco Javier Garcia in Madrid. In its preparation I have tried to explain most references to events not explicitly mentioned in the "commentary", as well as to establish the identity of persons and place names, the spelling of which is frequently so mutilated as to make recognition impossible. I have included in this edition a biographical sketch of the author, a table listing the principal editions, a brief evaluation of the "commentary", a general introduction to the events which were to bring about the war, and a list of works consulted.
Two Curves, One Price: Pricing & Hedging Interest Rate Derivatives Decoupling Forwarding and Discounting Yield Curves

description: We revisit the problem of pricing and hedging plain vanilla single-currency interest rate derivatives using multiple distinct yield curves for market coherent estimation of discount factors and forward rates with different underlying rate tenors. Within such double-curve-single-currency framework, adopted by the market after the credit-crunch crisis started in summer 2007, standard single-curve no-arbitrage relations are no longer valid, and can be recovered by taking properly into account the forward basis bootstrapped from market basis swaps. Numerical results show that the resulting forward basis curves may display a richer micro-term structure that may induce appreciable effects on the price of interest rate instruments. By recurring to the foreign-currency analogy we also derive generalised no-arbitrage double-curve market-like formulas for basic plain vanilla interest rate derivatives, FRAs, swaps, caps/floors and swaptions in particular. These expressions include a quanto adjustment typical of cross-currency derivatives, naturally originated by the change between the numeraires associated to the two yield curves, that carries on a volatility and correlation dependence. Numerical scenarios confirm that such correction can be non negligible, thus making unadjusted double-curve prices, in principle, not arbitrage free. Both the forward basis and the quanto adjustment find a natural financial explanation in terms of counterparty risk.

description: Abstract

The performance of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) depends on the volume of traffic and node speed. There is always room for improvement, especially when routing and node energy consumption are tightly coupled. Traditional routing techniques are used to increase performance metrics like throughput and latency. This study links the base station node to hosting nodes with 150, 250, and 350 numbers deploying four cluster heads to provide AODV-based routing using a clustering strategy. A far-near base approach is used to establish communication between the nodes. The enhanced clustering method have improved the throughput from 83.92% (baseline method prior to node clustering) to 92.474 %.

description: In the past years there has been a revival of hadron spectroscopy. Many interesting new hadron states were discovered experimentally, some of which do not fit easily into the quark model. This situation motivated a vigorous theoretical activity. This is a rapidly evolving field with enormous amount of new experimental information. In the present report we include and discuss data which were released very recently. The present review is the first one written from the perspective of QCD sum rules (QCDSR), where we present the main steps of concrete calculations and compare the results with other approaches and with experimental data.

description: We construct the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) on the homogeneous space (Cartan domain) D_4=SO(4,2)/(SO(4)\times SO(2)) of the conformal group SO(4,2) (locally isomorphic to SU(2,2)) in 1+3 dimensions. The manifold D_4 can be mapped one-to-one onto the future tube domain C^4_+ of the complex Minkowski space through a Cayley transformation, where other kind of (electromagnetic) wavelets have already been proposed in the literature. We study the unitary irreducible representations of the conformal group on the Hilbert spaces L^2_h(D_4,dν_λ) and L^2_h(C^4_+,d\tildeν_λ) of square integrable holomorphic functions with scale dimension λand continuous mass spectrum, prove the isomorphism (equivariance) between both Hilbert spaces, admissibility and tight-frame conditions, provide reconstruction formulas and orthonormal basis of homogeneous polynomials and discuss symmetry properties and the Euclidean limit of the proposed conformal wavelets. For that purpose, we firstly state and prove a λ-extension of Schwinger's Master Theorem (SMT), which turns out to be a useful mathematical tool for us, particularly as a generating function for the unitary-representation functions of the conformal group and for the derivation of the reproducing (Bergman) kernel of L^2_h(D_4,dν_λ). SMT is related to MacMahon's Master Theorem (MMT) and an extension of both in terms of Louck's SU(N) solid harmonics is also provided for completeness. Convergence conditions are also studied.

description: This paper presents the science potential of a deep ocean antineutrino observatory being developed at Hawaii and elsewhere. The observatory design allows for relocation from one site to another. Positioning the observaory some 60 km distant from a nuclear reactor complex enables preecision measurement of neutrino mixing parameters, leading to a determination of neutrino mass hierarchy and theta_13. At a mid-Pacific location, the observatory measures the flux of uranium and thorium decay series antineutrinos from earth's mantle and performs a sensitive search for a hypothetical natural fission reactor in earth's core. A subequent deployment at another mid-ocean location would test lateral homogeneity of uranium and thorium in earth's mantle. These measurements have significance for earth energy studies.

description: Solitons and polarons at nonequilibrium steady states are investigated for the spinless Takayama Lin-Liu Maki model. Polarons are found to be possible {\it only out of equilibrium}. This polaron formation is a genuine nonequilibrium phenomenon, as there is a lower threshold current below which they cannot exist. It is considered to be an example of microscopic dissipative structure.

description: Extreme reliance on fossil fuels has resulted in the disruption of the natural CO2 cycle resulting in a serious concern of global warming. Electrochemical conversion is an environmentally benign method of recycling CO2 into chemical feedstocks however it necessitates the use of effective catalysts. Copper is the only metallic catalyst capable of producing highly reduced carbon products during this process, however, with poor selectivity. Alloying Cu with specific metals is an excellent approach to solve the selectivity problem. This thesis focuses on the design of Cu-based alloy catalysts to optimise product selectivity during electrochemical CO2 reduction.

An hierarchical artificial neural network system for the classification of transmembrane proteins

name: Hamodrakas, Stavros
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantitative Methods (q-bio.QM)

description: This work presents a simple artificial neural network which classifies proteins into two classes from their sequences alone: the membrane protein class and the non-membrane protein class. This may be important in the functional assignment and analysis of open reading frames (ORF's) identified in complete genomes and, especially, those ORF's that correspond to proteins with unknown function. The network described here has a simple hierarchical feed-forward topology and a limited number of neurons which makes it very fast. By using only information contained in 11 protein sequences, the method was able to identify, with 100% accuracy, all membrane proteins with reliable topologies collected from several papers in the literature. Applied to a test set of 995 globular, water-soluble proteins, the neural network classified falsely 23 of them in the membrane protein class (97.7% of correct assignment). The method was also applied to the complete SWISS-PROT database with considerable success and on ORF's of several complete genomes. The neural network developed was associated with the PRED-TMR algorithm (Pasquier,C., Promponas,V.J., Palaios,G.A., Hamodrakas,J.S. and Hamodrakas,S.J., 1999) in a new application package called PRED-TMR2.
