description: For the approximation and simulation of twofold iterated stochastic integrals and the corresponding Lévy areas w.r.t. a multi-dimensional Wiener process, we review four algorithms based on a Fourier series approach. Especially, the very efficient algorithm due to Wiktorsson and a newly proposed algorithm due to Mrongowius and Rössler are considered. To put recent advances into context, we analyse the four Fourier-based algorithms in a unified framework to highlight differences and similarities in their derivation. A comparison of theoretical properties is complemented by a numerical simulation that reveals the order of convergence for each algorithm. Further, concrete instructions for the choice of the optimal algorithm and parameters for the simulation of solutions for stochastic (partial) differential equations are given. Additionally, we provide advice for an efficient implementation of the considered algorithms and incorporated these insights into an open source toolbox that is freely available for both Julia and MATLAB programming languages. The performance of this toolbox is analysed by comparing it to some existing implementations, where we observe a significant speed-up.
Evidence of tail autotomy in the European plethodontid Hydromantes (Atylodes) genei (Temmick and Schlegel, 1838) (Amphibia: Urodela: Plethodontidae)

description: Caudal autotomy is a defensive mechanism widely adopted by lungless salamanders (Plethodontidae) from the New World. In contrast, in Europe, this mechanism was not described until very recently for just one Sardinian species, Hydromantes (Speleomantes) sarrabusensis. We report on tail autotomy observed in another species from the same island, Hydromantes (Atylodes) genei. In Europe, self-amputation of the tail seems to be restricted to some plethodontids inhabiting Sardinia, while continental species do not exhibit analogous antipredator strategies.

description: The paper describes the growth patterns and breeding strategies in the lizard, Calotes versicolor in captivity. The lizards were raised in laboratory from hatching. It was observed that these lizards attain sexual maturity at 7.42 ± 0.5 months of age. Growth rate in males is always higher than in females and sexual size dimorphism in C. versicolor is due to the difference in growth rate between the sexes. The study revealed that some females reproduce in the first year at smaller body size (snout-vent length-SVL ~ 8 cm) with small clutch size while some skip reproduction in the first year, grow larger (SVL ~11.5 cm) and reproduce in second year with larger clutch size, yet others reproduce in first year, skip reproduction in second year and reproduce in the third year and some skip reproduction in the first 2 years of life and reproduce in third year attaining larger body size (SVL >13.6 cm) with greater clutch size. Thus, females exhibit different strategies of trade-off between growth and reproduction. In addition, the study showed that C. versicolor may lay as many as 3 clutches of eggs in a breeding season. Thus, the study provides information on growth, age at sexual maturity, relationship between growth and reproduction and reproductive strategies exhibited by the lizard in captivity.

description: We investigate tripartite coupling between phonons, magnons and photons in a periodic array of elliptical magnetostrictive nanomagnets delineated on a piezoelectric substrate to form a two-dimensional two-phase multiferroic crystal. A surface acoustic wave (phonons) of 5 - 35 GHz frequency launched into the substrate causes the magnetizations of the nanomagnets to precess at the frequency of the wave, giving rise to spin waves (magnons). The spin waves, in turn, radiate electromagnetic waves (photons) into the surrounding space at the surface acoustic wave frequency. Here, the phonons couple into magnons, which then couple into photons. This tripartite phonon-magnon-photon coupling is exploited to implement an extreme sub-wavelength electromagnetic antenna whose measured radiation efficiency and antenna gain exceed the theoretical limits for traditional antennas by more than two orders of magnitude at some frequencies. Micro-magnetic simulations are in excellent agreement with experimental observations and provide insight into the spin wave modes that couple into radiating electromagnetic modes to implement the antenna.

description: In a minority of flowering plants, separate sexes are genetically determined by sex chromosomes. The Y chromosome has a non-recombining region that degenerates, causing a reduced expression of Y genes. In some species, the lower Y expression is accompanied by dosage compensation (DC), a mechanism that re-equalizes male and female expression and/or brings XY male expression back to its ancestral level. Here, we review work on DC in plants, which started as early as the late 60 s with cytological approaches. The use of transcriptomics fired a controversy as to whether DC existed in plants. Further work revealed that various plants exhibit partial DC, including a few species with young and homomorphic sex chromosomes. We are starting to understand the mechanisms responsible for DC in some plants, but in most species, we lack the data to differentiate between global and gene-by-gene DC. Also, it is unknown why some species evolve many dosage compensated genes while others do not. Finally, the forces that drive DC evolution remain mysterious, both in plants and animals. We review the multiple evolutionary theories that have been proposed to explain DC patterns in eukaryotes with XY or ZW sex chromosomes.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Sex determination and sex chromosome evolution in land plants’.

description: Paedomorphs and metamorphs of the northern banded newt (Ommatotriton ophryticus) were compared with respect to body size and some reproductive traits. Paedomorphic females are smaller than metamorphic individuals of the same sex. Both morphs have a similar reproduction pathway in terms of egg number and incubation period, while hatching success and egg diameter appear to be different between morphs. Survival rates of two morphs were significantly different and calculated as 66% for paedomorphs, and 81% for metamorphs. On the other hand, both forms shared a common allometric slope of the SVL vs. number of eggs and egg diameter, and larger females tend to produce more and larger eggs.

description: Museum collections have proven to be a useful source of samples for the reconstruction of evolutionary history and phylogeography of many taxa. This study was aimed at assessing the success rate in a genetic analysis of historical material, in order to explore the feasibility and eventually begin the diachronic description of Caretta caretta stocks in Italian and Maltese coastal waters. The endangered status of the species and the difficulty to study it in the wild make its common occurrence in Italian museum collections a valuable resource. We used minimally invasive methods to collect biological material from specimens dating from the end of the 19th century to 2003, belonging to four museums. As a control for amplification success and absence of cross-contamination, four dinucleotide microsatellite loci of different average length (Cc7, Cc141, Cm72 and Cm84) were typed. All individuals with two or more successfully amplified microsatellites (36%) displayed distinct genotypes, thus excluding contamination as a major flaw in the data. We then targeted 380 bp of the mtDNA control region, which allows comparisons with many living populations worldwide and represents the optimal marker for the philopatric behaviour of this species. All individuals but 2 were successfully sequenced. Haplotype CC-A2 was found in 68 individuals, whereas CC-A1 and CC-A3 were found only in one Tyrrhenian and one S-Adriatic specimens, respectively. This study demonstrates that genetic analysis of marine turtles from museum specimens is feasible. Data generated from cohorts of several generations ago are potentially useful for research and dissemination purposes.

More precisely, we give an example of a union-closed family with smallest set of size $k$ such that no element of this set belongs to more than a fraction $(1+o(1))\frac{\log_2 k}{2k}$ of the sets in $\mathcal F$. We also give explicit examples of union-closed families containing `small' sets for which we have been unable to verify the Union-Closed Conjecture.

description: Objective: To identify services offered by library liaisons serving academic health and life science schools and programs. Establishing an understanding of available services can inform the development of current and emerging liaison roles. Methods: Nine health sciences librarians and three life sciences librarians individually created lists of services which they currently provide in their liaison work, and those they would provide given additional resources and/or demonstrated constituent interest. The resulting lists were collected and service activities were grouped into conceptual clusters such as reference, outreach, and teaching activities. The responses were then analyzed for overlap among current and potential services. Results: An impressive quantity and variety of services were provided by liaisons, spanning more than 75 services in 18 categories. In addition, liaisons suggested the adoption of a large quantity and variety of potential services. Many of the services listed go beyond the librarian as simply a service provider, instead casting the liaison in the role of research or teaching partner and faculty peer. Implications: These results support the reimagining of the librarian’s role in academic health and life sciences environments. The next step will be to identify new roles of highest potential use to constituents in the health and life sciences. This process has already begun and data collection is ongoing.

In this last case with adjustments of rents and market prices. The adjustments don’t concern the capitalization rate but rents and prices. Accordingly capitalization rate cannot be obtained by the rate other than real estate investments, for instance financial, because a property market segment, where data can be collected, always exists.

description: This essay describes the most relevant steps of the urban system analysis procedure and of the isovalue maps compilation for the main urban functions, to prove the urgency of using these methods to reply to the increasing need for equity and liberalism that recently came out from the urban planning process in Italy, especially, after the acknowledgement of some “new” mechanisms in most of the regional legal orders: the so called “equity tools”. The regressive models results in the experimentation have shown that the isovalue maps could be a significant tool for several meanings in the public decision process, as it is a noteworthy estimation and evaluation method, that should be largely implemented and constantly reviewed and improved.

description: This research aims to design the paths through is possible to improve historical buildings located in centers which show signs of abandonment by original inhabitants and where a large part of the inhabitants are immigrants . The Italian population which remains generally lives in the “best” areas of these run down historical centers. In Italy there are 6.989 municipalities having fewer than 10.000 inhabitants (86% of all municipalities); with a population 0f 19.000.000, they represent 32,7% of the population of Italy. In many of these centers “a chain of degradation” is showing. Their properties thus run down, they can obtain only lower rents, the only ones affordable for many immigrants. Often the private owners expect the municipal administration to upgrade the public spaces near their properties in order to enhance their value. In many of these centers “a chain of degradation” is showing. Often the private owners expect the municipal administration to upgrade the public spaces near their properties in order to enhance their value. To regenerate and increase the value of the real estate it is possible to follow two approaches at same time: on the one hand economizing on the costs of the physical rehabilitation (social housing, self-recovery, etc.) and on the other improving territory with roads, parks, infrastructures, etc. while creating services. In this way the immigrants and their culture may be considered a revitalisation resource.

Processes of Real Estate Valuation
Creators: name: Passeri, Alfredo
Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2013

description: The instrument employed to express any value appraisal is our intellect that, by its very nature, given the invariability of objective data, cannot but express a single judgement, and never multiple judgements amongst which some are more or less probably closer to the truth, an objectively existing postulate or identified with a certain average. Thus Valuation, in its existence, remains a method of analysis, valid in all cases, independent of their nature, and requires phases of a general character. Even if the valuer, in exercising his profession, has become a profound expert in relation to the objects and situations he is called upon to appraise. With respect to the past, within the field of Valuation there now emerge new problems connected to the social changes, from a rural society to an industrial or, possibly, post-industrial one. The effect of this social modification provoked the articulation of the discipline into specialised branches: this process, to which Urban Valuation owes its genesis and its autonomy, is a result of the specialisation typical of the particularly modern sciences.

How do Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Their Families Experience Post-Secondary Transition?
Creators: name: Hopper, Emily Victoria
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Background & Significance: • Transition can create both internal and external conflicts for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) as they encounter novel experiences and roles thrust upon them when they begin the process of phasing out of the public high school system into community and work life. • Understanding both the experience of individuals with IDD during this transition process and the perspectives of their family members is important, as it is often determined within the family context. • Few studies have investigated transition experiences of individuals with IDD from the perspectives of the student and their parents. • Transition programs that emphasize skills training and prevocational guidance through a client-centered, experiential approach correlate with positive outcomes for individuals with IDD and their family. • TRACKS is a pilot transition program that provides opportunities for individuals with IDD to develop life skills, participate in work site trainings, cultivate social interactions, and practice community mobility on a local university’s campus to facilitate preparation for post-secondary community life integration.
The distortion of the land market due to plans for the infra-structure of the region: criteria for alternative valuation

Publisher: name: Aestimum

description: The alterations caused by the realization of large scale, linear infra-structure have repercussions that similarly disrupt the land market. The market is still not perfect and has all the inherent problems connected to estimation of the compensation due for expropriation. In general, the latter doesn’t compensate the expropriated party sufficiently for the impact that the construction of a new infra-structure can have on the land in question. The result is that the expropriated party not only loses possession of their own estate, but also receives nothing in recognition of its plus/minus value compared to the non-expropriated party. The effect on the land market created by the expropriation procedure itself is not factored into the estimated compensation. Another question is the standardization of the method used to determine the additional compensation due, calculated by means of the Vam, which does not make provisions for the instance of a farming company headed by an entrepreneur with above-average business skill, nor does it consider the agricultural and pedoclimatic quality. Lastly, the drafting of a new system for calculating compensation for expropriation is deemed as necessary, one that would incorporate the quid of the land productivity factor within the business initiative “infra-structure for public use”.

description: In forest sector several practical applications need to consider the monetary value of social utility for each specific location and forest function. In this framework the aim of the paper is to implement a spatial analysis model able to link a set of methodologies for the quantification of the total economic value of the forests. The main characteristic of the proposed methodology is the achievement of a geographical dataset with high resolution that can be used for both ex-ante and ex-post Cost-Benefit Analysis and the improvement of spatially explicit forest planning and policy. The results of the application show that spatial analysis methodologies allow the aggregation of several variables and also facilitate the introduction of natural capital concepts into environmental decision-making processes. The analysis is implemented and verified in Tuscany region (central Italy).

We identify a special class of subspaces, for which a sequence of rotations results in a non-abelian holonomy of a topological nature, so that it is invariant under any $SO(3)$-perturbation. Making use of a Majorana-like stellar representation for subspaces, we give explicit examples of topological-holonomic (or toponomic) NOT and CNOT gates.

description: Numerous toolkits have been developed to support ethical AI development. However, toolkits, like all tools, encode assumptions in their design about what work should be done and how. In this paper, we conduct a qualitative analysis of 27 AI ethics toolkits to critically examine how the work of ethics is imagined and how it is supported by these toolkits. Specifically, we examine the discourses toolkits rely on when talking about ethical issues, who they imagine should do the work of ethics, and how they envision the work practices involved in addressing ethics. Among the toolkits, we identify a mismatch between the imagined work of ethics and the support the toolkits provide for doing that work. In particular, we identify a lack of guidance around how to navigate labor, organizational, and institutional power dynamics as they relate to performing ethical work. We use these omissions to chart future work for researchers and designers of AI ethics toolkits.

description: Text embedding models from Natural Language Processing can map text data (e.g. words, sentences, documents) to supposedly meaningful numerical representations (a.k.a. text embeddings). While such models are increasingly applied in social science research, one important issue is often not addressed: the extent to which these embeddings are valid representations of constructs relevant for social science research. We therefore propose the use of the classic construct validity framework to evaluate the validity of text embeddings. We show how this framework can be adapted to the opaque and high-dimensional nature of text embeddings, with application to survey questions. We include several popular text embedding methods (e.g. fastText, GloVe, BERT, Sentence-BERT, Universal Sentence Encoder) in our construct validity analyses. We find evidence of convergent and discriminant validity in some cases. We also show that embeddings can be used to predict respondent's answers to completely new survey questions. Furthermore, BERT-based embedding techniques and the Universal Sentence Encoder provide more valid representations of survey questions than do others. Our results thus highlight the necessity to examine the construct validity of text embeddings before deploying them in social science research.

description: Current quantum computers are limited in the number of qubits and coherence time, constraining the algorithms executable with sufficient fidelity. The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is an algorithm to find an approximate ground state of a quantum system and is expected to work on even such a device. The deep VQE [K. Fujii, et al., arXiv:2007.10917] is an extension of the original VQE algorithm, which takes a divide-and-conquer approach to relax the hardware requirement. While the deep VQE is successfully applied for spin models and periodic material, its validity on a molecule, where the Hamiltonian is highly nonlocal in the qubit basis, is still unexplored. Here, we discuss the performance of the deep VQE algorithm applied to quantum chemistry problems. Specifically, we examine different subspaceforming methods and compare their accuracy and complexity on a 10 H-atom treelike molecule as well as a 13 H-atom version. Additionally, we examine the performance on the natural occurring molecule retinal. This work also proposes multiple methods to lower the number of qubits required to calculate the ground state of a molecule. We find that the deep VQE can simulate the electron-correlation energy of the ground state to an error of below 1%, thus helping us to reach chemical accuracy in some cases. The accuracy differences and qubits' reduction highlights the basis creation method's impact on the deep VQE.

description: We present several interesting phenomena related to flatband ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model. The first is a mathematical theorem stating certain conditions under which a flatband ferromagnetic must necessarily be degenerate with a nonferromagnetic state. This theorem is generally applicable and geometry-independent, but holds only for a small number of holes in an otherwise filled band. The second phenomenon is a peculiar example where the intuition fails that particles prefer to doubly occupy low-energy states before filling higher-energy states. Lastly, we show a pattern of ferromagnetism which appears in small pentagonal and hexagonal plaquettes at filling factors of roughly 3/10 and 1/4. These examples require only a small number of lattice sites, and may be observable in quantum dot arrays currently available as laboratory spin qubit arrays.

description: This paper introduces a novel deep metric learning-based semi-supervised regression (DML-S2R) method for parameter estimation problems. The proposed DML-S2R method aims to mitigate the problems of insufficient amount of labeled samples without collecting any additional sample with a target value. To this end, it is made up of two main steps: i) pairwise similarity modeling with scarce labeled data; and ii) triplet-based metric learning with abundant unlabeled data. The first step aims to model pairwise sample similarities by using a small number of labeled samples. This is achieved by estimating the target value differences of labeled samples with a Siamese neural network (SNN). The second step aims to learn a triplet-based metric space (in which similar samples are close to each other and dissimilar samples are far apart from each other) when the number of labeled samples is insufficient. This is achieved by employing the SNN of the first step for triplet-based deep metric learning that exploits not only labeled samples but also unlabeled samples. For the end-to-end training of DML-S2R, we investigate an alternate learning strategy for the two steps. Due to this strategy, the encoded information in each step becomes a guidance for learning phase of the other step. The experimental results confirm the success of DML-S2R compared to the state-of-the-art semi-supervised regression methods. The code of the proposed method is publicly available at https://git.tu-berlin.de/rsim/DML-S2R.

description: Due to the availability of multi-modal remote sensing (RS) image archives, one of the most important research topics is the development of cross-modal RS image retrieval (CM-RSIR) methods that search semantically similar images across different modalities. Existing CM-RSIR methods require the availability of a high quality and quantity of annotated training images. The collection of a sufficient number of reliable labeled images is time consuming, complex and costly in operational scenarios, and can significantly affect the final accuracy of CM-RSIR. In this paper, we introduce a novel self-supervised CM-RSIR method that aims to: i) model mutual-information between different modalities in a self-supervised manner; ii) retain the distributions of modal-specific feature spaces similar to each other; and iii) define the most similar images within each modality without requiring any annotated training image. To this end, we propose a novel objective including three loss functions that simultaneously: i) maximize mutual information of different modalities for inter-modal similarity preservation; ii) minimize the angular distance of multi-modal image tuples for the elimination of inter-modal discrepancies; and iii) increase cosine similarity of the most similar images within each modality for the characterization of intra-modal similarities. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to state-of-the-art methods. The code of the proposed method is publicly available at https://git.tu-berlin.de/rsim/SS-CM-RSIR.

description: Peaceful coexistence and trade among human groups can be fragile and intergroup relations frequently transition to violent exchange and conflict. Here we specify how exogenous changes in groups' environment and ensuing carrying-capacity stress can increase individual participation in intergroup conflict, and out-group aggression in particular. In two intergroup contest experiments, individuals could contribute private resources to out-group aggression (versus in-group defense). Environmental unpredictability, induced by making non-invested resources subject to risk of destruction (versus not), created psychological stress and increased participation in and coordination of out-group attacks. Archival analyses of interstate conflicts showed, likewise, that sovereign states engage in revisionist warfare more when their pre-conflict economic and climatic environment was more volatile and unpredictable. Given that participation in conflict is wasteful, environmental unpredictability not only made groups more often victorious but also less wealthy. Macro-level changes in the natural and economic environment can be a root cause of out-group aggression and turn benign intergroup relations violent.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Intergroup conflict: origins, dynamics and consequences across taxa’.
