description: The purpose of this study was to determine if there were significant differences between first time and repetitive runaway residents at Avenue 15, a runaway shelter in Calgary, AB. The goal was that if one could differentiate those variables that might predict the repetitive runner, services could be targeted to direct these young people from dangers on the street. An extensive literature review is presented, data is analyzed and practical and research recommendations are outlined. Major findings are that repetitive runners differ from first time runners in regards to: length of run, involvement in illegal activities and reported experiences of sexual abuse, physical abuse and fighting with siblings. In addition, frequent repeaters most often reported not seeing their family for more than a month and were more likely to be under government care. Implications for service and practice are that frequent and firsttime runners have separate and distinct treatment requirements. This writer proposes that interventions must be viewed from an ecological perspective; community and natural support systems must be utilized; therapists must be willing to meet concrete survival needs of clients; multiple interventions are essential; there must be an acceptance that not all young people return home and thus, transitional housing and permanent placements must be provided where "permanency" is emphasized and awareness, flexibility, and openness are needed to provide young people with as many choices as possible. Further research should strive for agreement on the definition of runaway behavior; participation by professionals in related fields; use of control groups; and, additional analysis of data through school records, agency records, and police files.

description: For a positive integer $n$ let $H_n=\sum_{k=1}^{n}1/n$ be the $n$th harmonic number. In this note we prove that for any prime $p\ge 7$, $$ \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{H_k}{k^2}\equiv \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{H_k^2}{k} \equiv\frac{3}{2p}\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{1}{k^2}\pmod{p^2}. $$ Notice that the first part of this congruence is recently proposed by R. Tauraso as a problem in Amer. Math. Monthly. In our elementary proof of the second part of the above congruence we use certain classical congruences modulo a prime and the square of a prime, some congruences involving harmonic numbers and a combinatorial identity due to V. Hernández.

description: We consider the estimation of parametric fractional time series models in which not only is the memory parameter unknown, but one may not know whether it lies in the stationary/invertible region or the nonstationary or noninvertible regions. In these circumstances, a proof of consistency (which is a prerequisite for proving asymptotic normality) can be difficult owing to nonuniform convergence of the objective function over a large admissible parameter space. In particular, this is the case for the conditional sum of squares estimate, which can be expected to be asymptotically efficient under Gaussianity. Without the latter assumption, we establish consistency and asymptotic normality for this estimate in case of a quite general univariate model. For a multivariate model, we establish asymptotic normality of a one-step estimate based on an initial $\sqrt{n}$-consistent estimate.

description: We present a novel cluster-expansion (CE) approach for the first-principles modeling of temperature and concentration dependent alloy properties. While the standard CE method includes temperature effects only via the configurational entropy in Monte Carlo simulations, our strategy also covers the first-principles free energies of lattice vibrations. To this end, the effective cluster interactions of the CE have been rendered genuinely temperature dependent, so that they can include the vibrational free energies of the input structures. As a model system we use the phase-separating alloy Fe-Cu with our focus on the Fe-rich side. There, the solubility is derived from Monte Carlo simulations, whose precision had to be increased by averaging multiple CEs. We show that including the vibrational free energy is absolutely vital for the correct first-principles prediction of Cu solubility in the bcc Fe matrix: The solubility tremendously increases and is now in quantitative agreement with experimental findings.

description: We report evidence of ordered orbital motion in luminous star-forming galaxies at z~1.3. We present integral field spectroscopy (IFS) observations, performed with the OH Suppressing InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (OSIRIS) system, assisted by laser guide star adaptive optics on the Keck telescope, of 13 star-forming galaxies selected from the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. Selected via ultraviolet and [OII] emission, the large volume of the WiggleZ survey allows the selection of sources which have comparable intrinsic luminosity and stellar mass to IFS samples at z>2. Multiple 1-2 kpc size sub-components of emission, or 'clumps', are detected within the Halpha spatial emission which extends over 6-10 kpc in 4 galaxies, resolved compact emission (r<3 kpc) is detected in 5 galaxies, and extended regions of Halpha emission are observed in the remaining 4 galaxies. We discuss these data in the context of different snapshots in a merger sequence and/or the evolutionary stages of coalescence of star-forming regions in an unstable disk. We find evidence of ordered orbital motion in galaxies as expected from disk models and the highest values of velocity dispersion (σ>100 km/s) in the most compact sources. This unique data set reveals that the most luminous star-forming galaxies at z>1 are gaseous unstable disks indicating that a different mode of star formation could be feeding gas to galaxies at z>1, and lending support to theories of cold dense gas flows from the intergalactic medium.

description: The article addresses the features of Ukrainian-Slovak relations in the period of the establishment of the countries’ independencies. It analyzes the exports of commodities and agricultural and food products from Ukraine to Slovakia. The dynamics of the change in the parameters of agricultural export in martial law is assessed. Slovakia’s position among the EU countries in terms of agricultural exports from Ukraine is specified. The ways to support Ukrainian agriculture for the EU countries and Slovakia in martial law and to secure the participation of Ukrainian companies in the implementation of investment projects related to the development of export logistics infrastructure are outlined. The article offers prospective directions in the development of Ukrainian-Slovak relations in terms of agricultural export logistics in conditions of the seaport blockade and cross-border cooperation in the framework of existing joint programs. Special attention is paid to the need to introduce alternative logistic routes for agricultural export from Ukraine to Slovakia using the capacities of rail, road, and river transport, multimodal and intermodal shipping, and the creation of modern logistics hubs. The opportunities to attract the EU institutional assistance through Slovakia are examined in the framework of maintaining the food security and support of Ukraine’s agriculture. The need for further development of Ukrainian-Slovak relations in terms of ensuring food security and fostering agricultural exports by inclusion of other EU countries in the logistics chain is emphasized.

description: The energy loss of charged particles in silicon can be approximated by a simple analytical model. With help of measured charge deposits in individual channels of hit clusters their position and energy can be estimated. Deposits below threshold and saturated values are treated properly, resulting in a wider dynamic range. The proposed method gives improvements on both hit position and energy residuals. The model is successfully applied to track differential energy loss estimation and to detector gain calibration tasks.

description: Supernovae play an integral role in the feedback of processed material into the ISMof galaxies and are responsible for most of the chemical enrichment of the universe. The rate of supernovae can also reveal the star formation histories. Supernova rate is usually measured through the non-thermal radio continuum luminosity, but in this paper we establish a quantitative relationship between the [FeII]1.26 luminosity and supernova rate in a sample of 11 near-by starburst galaxies. SINFONI data cubes are used to perform a pixel pixel analysis of this correlation. Using Br equivalent width and luminosity as the only observational inputs into Starburst 99, the supernova rate is derived at each pixel and a map of supernova rate is created. This is then compared morphologically and quantitatively to [FeII]1.26 luminosity map. We find a strong linear and morphological correlation between supernova rate and [FeII]1.26 on a pixel-pixel basis: log SNrate yr-1 pc-2 = (1.01 \pm 0.2) \ast log[FeII]1.26 ergs-1 pc-2 - 41.17 \pm 0.9 The Starburst 99 derived supernova rates are also in good agreement with the radio derived supernova rates, which further demonstrates the strength of [FeII] as a tracer of supernova rate. With the strong correlation found in this sample of galaxies, we now qualitatively use [FeII]1.26 to derive supernova rate on either a pixel-pixel or integrated galactic basis.

description: We show how dynamical decoupling (DD) and quantum error correction (QEC) can be optimally combined in the setting of fault tolerant quantum computing. To this end we identify the optimal generator set of DD sequences designed to protect quantum information encoded into stabilizer subspace or subsystem codes. This generator set, comprising the stabilizers and logical operators of the code, minimizes a natural cost function associated with the length of DD sequences. We prove that with the optimal generator set the restrictive local-bath assumption used in earlier work on hybrid DD-QEC schemes, can be significantly relaxed, thus bringing hybrid DD-QEC schemes, and their potentially considerable advantages, closer to realization.

On the Force-Freeness of the Photospheric Sunspot Magnetic Fields as Observed from Hinode (SOT/SP)

Year: 2011

description: A magnetic field is force-free if there is no interaction between the magnetic field and plasma in surrounding atmosphere i.e., electric currents are aligned with the magnetic field, giving rise to zero Lorentz force. Computation of various magnetic parameters such as magnetic energy, gradient of twist of sunspot fields and any kind of extrapolations, heavily hinge on the force-free approximation of the photospheric sunspot magnetic fields. Thus it is important to inspect the force-freeness of sunspot fields. The force-freeness of sunspot magnetic fields has been examined earlier by some researchers ending with incoherent results. Accurate photospheric vector field measurements with high spatial resolution are required to inspect the force-free nature of sunspots. We use several such vector magnetograms obtained from the Solar Optical Telescope/Spectro-Polarimeter aboard the Hinode. Both necessary and sufficient conditions for force-freeness are examined by checking global and local nature of magnetic forces over sunspots. We find that the sunspot magnetic fields are not much away from force-free configuration, although they are not completely force-free on the photosphere. The umbral and inner penumbral fields are more force-free than the middle and the outer penumbral fields. During their evolution, sunspot magnetic fields are found to maintain their proximity to force-free behaviour. Although a dependence of net Lorentz force components is seen on the evolutionary stages of the sunspots, we don't find a systematic relationship between the nature of sunspot fields and associated flare activity. Further, we examine whether the fields at photosphere follow linear or non-linear force free conditions. After examining this in various complex and simple sunspots we conclude that,in either case,the photospheric sunspot fields are closer to satisfy non linear force-free field approximation.

Long-term memory contribution as applied to the motion of discrete dynamical systems

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: We consider the evolution of logistic maps under long-term memory. The memory effects are characterized by one parameter α. If it equals to zero, any memory is absent. This leads to the ordinary discrete dynamical systems. For α= 1 the memory becomes full, and each subsequent state of the corresponding discrete system accumulates all past states with the same weight just as the ordinary integral of first order does in the continuous space. The case with 0 < α< 1 has the long-term memory effects. The characteristic features are also observed for the fractional integral depending on time, and the parameter αis equivalent to the order index of fractional integral. We study the evolution of the bifurcation diagram among α= 0 and α= 0.15 . The main result of this work is that the long-term memory effects make difficulties for developing the chaos motion in such logistic maps. The parameter α resembles a governing parameter for the bifurcation diagram. For α > 0.15 the memory effects win over chaos.

description: Recent time-of-flight measurements on muon neutrinos in the OPERA neutrino oscillation experiment have found anomalously short times compared to the light travel-times, corresponding to a superluminal velocity, $v-1=2.37\pm0.32\times 10^{-5}$ in units where $c=1$. We show that cosmological bounds rule out an explanation involving a Lorentz invariant tachyonic neutrino. At the OPERA energy scale, nucleosynthesis constraints imply $v-1<0.86\times 10^{-12}$ and the Cosmic Microwave Background observations imply $v-1<7.1\times 10^{-23}$. The CMB limit on the velocity of a tachyon with an energy of 10 MeV is stronger than the SN1987A limit. Superluminal neutrinos that could be observed at particle accelerator energy scales would have to be associated with Lorentz symmetry violation.

description: Emergency/rescue helicopters are an essential part of the healthcare systems. Every helicopter should be kept in its best possible operational mode to save the life of the people in danger. For achieving this goal, using an optimal maintenance planning is crucial, which involves a periodic decision about repair or replacement of the components in the helicopter. But, in the considered case study, the spare part inventory is limited and cannot be easily replenished. Also, an observation in this case study is that a repaired component may have a shorter probabilistic lifetime (i.e. time to next failure) in contrast to a brand-new one. The best sequence of decisions can be made for each day of a given planning horizon, when different probabilistic trade-offs for every mission hour are taken into account. The problem is formulated in the framework of a stochastic dynamic program (SDP). For obtaining a fast near-optimal policy, an approximate dynamic program (ADP) is developed, which is based on the Monte-Carlo sampling of the possible paths in the corresponding transition graph of the SDP. A numerical experiment shows its gradual convergence toward an optimal policy as it spends more time in the search space of the SDP.

description: The unbiased thermal diffusion of an overdamped Brownian particle in a square lattice potential is considered in the presence of an externally applied ac driving. The resulting diffusion matrix exhibits two orthogonal eigenvectors with eigenvalues $D_1>D_2>0$, indicating anisotropic diffusion along a "fast" and a "slow principal axis". For sufficiently small temperatures, $D_1$ may become arbitrarily large and at the same time $D_2$ arbitrarily small. The principal diffusion axis can be made to point into (almost) any direction by varying either the driving amplitude or the coupling of the particle to the potential, without changing any other property of the system or the driving.

description: An eco-friendly supply chain (SC) is greatly determined by travel economy and fuel consumption rate. This research considered these two critical factors and explored the relationship between travel economy and vehicle loads, and developed mathematical models in cold-chain logistics (MMCCL) to determine fuel consumption and carbon footprint in cold-chain logistics. Longer routes are more prone to degrade food quality and endanger environmental safety by producing more carbon contents. Considering this fact, we aimed to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining food quality. First, an empirical SC was divided into three possible routes, namely, single-route transportation (SRT), and multiple-route transportation (MRT-I and MRT-II). Later, the proposed MMCCL model was deployed on each route to determine the most carbon-efficient route and found SRT as more fuel-efficient than MRT-I and MRT-II by a margin of 64.52% and 12.78%, respectively. This resulted in the reduction of carbon footprint by cutting the fuel consumption by a significant amount while making the SC eco-friendly and safe. The results were thoroughly justified and evaluated with an appropriate case study in the context of the west southern part of Bangladesh.

description: As policymakers and governments in recent years have imposed various policies on industrial sectors to combat climate change, firms are required to manage their carbon footprints throughout their supply chains, alongside other operational decisions. This paper studies pricing and ordering competition between two green supply chains while considering carbon emissions regulations. In this context, the paper proposes a Stackelberg game among a governmental agency and two competitive green supply chains. The government seeks to maximise social welfare by imposing carbon policies, including carbon cap, carbon tax, and cap-and-trade. Each supply chain contains a manufacturer and multiple retailers. There is a Bertrand Nash competition between supply chains in different markets. The vendor-managed inventory (VMI) mechanism has been deployed to coordinate the supply chain and boost profitability. This paper develops mathematical models based on the supply chains’ structures and carbon policies. It provides a series of insights that highlight the impact of carbon regulations on price, ordering size, transportation cycle, carbon emissions, and social welfare.

description: Consumer goods supply chains are intensifying their efforts to develop and offer green products, in order to seize new business opportunities and improve profitability. A specific type of green products concerns marginal and development cost-intensive green products (MDIGPs), like electric vehicles. As greening these products affects both marginal and development costs, their design presents special challenges, especially within the context of uncertain demand. This paper formulates the joint product pricing-ordering-greening decision problem in the supply chains of MDIGPs and examines the impact of demand uncertainty. A sequential game-theoretic framework is developed, providing analytical expressions of the optimal solutions for the stochastic model. A bargaining game on the wholesale price between supply chain members is proposed to coordinate decisions. We compare the optimal decisions numerically in the stochastic and deterministic cases and find that, although demand uncertainty creates inefficiency in the green supply chain, it might positively impact product greenness and prices. Given the impact of the unit-variable greening costs of MDIGPs, we are able to identify cases where – contrary to common belief – demand uncertainty does not always lead firms to reduce greenness or increase prices.

description: This (rather subjective) review sums up few years of work devoted to explain various aspects of high energy heavy ion collisions using the AdS/CFT correspondence. The central issue of is is formation of the trapped surface (black hole) phenomenon, seen by a distant observer as the entropy production. We end up discussing an issue of classical gravitational radiation by an ultrarelativistic falling body and the so called breaking self-force related to it.

description: Violation of fundamental symmetries in atoms is the subject of intense experimental and theoretical interest. P-odd, T-even transitions have been observed and are in excellent agreement with electroweak theory. Searches for permanent electric dipole moments have placed bounds on T-odd, P-odd interactions, constraining proposed extensions to the Standard Model of elementary particles. Here we propose a new search for T-odd, P-even (TOPE) interactions in atoms. We consider open-shell atoms, such as the rare-earth atoms, which have dense, chaotic excitation spectra with strong level repulsion. The strength of the level repulsion depends on the underlying symmetries of the atomic Hamiltonian. TOPE interactions lead to enhanced level repulsion. We demonstrate how a statistical analysis of many chaotic spectra can determine the strength of level repulsion; in particular, the variance of the number of levels in an energy range has been shown to be a useful measure. We estimate that, using frequency comb spectroscopy, a sufficient number of chaotic levels could be measured to match or exceed the current experimental bounds on TOPE interactions.

description: As the most crucial component of a hospital, the operating room (OR) is the primary source of revenue generation and expenditures. The hospital’s overall performance will be enhanced if this ward’s scheduling is accurate. This study investigates a multi-objective mixed-integer programming model for daily OR scheduling of inpatient surgeries. A major consideration is the setup time (e.g. cleaning, sterilising, and preparing the necessary OR equipment) for the OR when commencing additional surgeries in the same OR. The surgical staff’s performance, interaction quality, and compatibility level play a significant role in the surgery’s quality, success, and safety. As individuals’ decision-making styles vary depending on the situation, one of the objectives increases the compatibility of surgical team members by considering their primary and backup decision-making styles. Another objective is to maximise the efficiency of the surgical team. To this end, this paper employs the TOPSIS method to calculate each person’s efficiency level. The final objective is to minimise OR costs (including the opening and overtime cost of OR and wait time cost for each person). To address problem’s computational complexity, this paper develops a constraint programming (CP) method, and also a novel hybrid mixed-integer linear programming-CP method to solve the real-world instances.

description: We report the discovery and analysis of a very strong magnetic field in the rapidly rotating early B-type star HR 5907, based on observations obtained as part of the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project. We infer a rotation period of 0.508276 +0.000015/-0.000012 d from photometric and Hα EW measurements, making this the shortest period, non-degenerate, magnetic massive star known to date. From the comparison of IUE UV and optical spectroscopy with LTE BRUCE/KYLIE models we find a solid-angle integrated, uniform black-body temperature of 17 000 \pm 1000 K, a projected rotational velocity of 290 \pm 10 km/s, an equatorial radius of 3.1 \pm 0.2 R_sun, a stellar mass of 5.5 \pm 0.5 M_sun, and an inclination angle of the rotation axis to our line-of-sight of 70 \pm 10\circ. Our measurements of the longitudinal magnetic field, which vary between -500 and -2000 G, phase coherently with the rotation period and imply a surface dipole field strength of \sim15.7 kG. On the other hand, from fits to mean Least-Squares Deconvolved Stokes V line profiles we infer a dipole field strength of \sim10.4 kG. This disagreement may result from a magnetic configuration more complex than our model, and/or from the non-uniform helium surface abundance distribution. In either case we obtain a magnetic obliquity nearly aligned with the rotation axis (β = 7+2/-1\circ). Our optical spectroscopy also shows weak variability in carbon, silicon and nitrogen lines. The emission variability in hydrogen Balmer and Paschen lines indicates the presence of a dense, highly structured magnetosphere, interpreted as a centrifugally supported, magnetically confined circumstellar disk.

description: The high-performance scalable parallel algorithm for rigorous calculation of partition function of lattice systems with finite number Ising spins was developed. The parallel calculations run by C++ code with using of Message Passing Interface and massive parallel instructions. The algorithm can be used for the research of the interacting spin systems in the Ising models of 2D and 3D. The processing power and scalability is analyzed for different parallel and distributed systems. Different methods of the speed up measuring allow obtain the super-linear speeding up for the small number of processes. Program code could be useful also for research by exact method of different Ising spin systems, e.g. system with competition interactions.

Hydrodynamics of liquid fluidized beds including distributor effects

description: One of the key factors influencing the hydrodynamics of two phase liquid fluidized beds is the liquid distributor which can cause severe flow non-uniformities making the modeling process extremely difficult. This is particularly true for liquid fluidized bed bioreactors which contain a low density solid phase in which biocatalyst is immobilized. The influence of important variables associated with the design of distributors was studied experimentally and theoretically with particular emphasis on characterizing the flow behaviour existing in the distributor region. In order to examine the important effect of the density of solid particles present in the liquid fluidized bed on the distributor region behaviour, particles of widely differing densities were used. For fluidized beds containing very low density particles (p s = 1.05 g/mL), undesirable dead zones were found to be responsible for distorting the hydrodynamics of the fluidized bed for poorly designed distributors. Detailed design information is given on the proper distributor design to avoid this dead-zone problem. In this case, the dispersion coefficients (D ac) for the bed region varied from 1.2 to 10.0 cm2 Is for liquid superficial velocities (U 0) ranging from 1.1 to 3.2 emfs. Secondly, stirring effects of high velocity orifice jets issuing forth from distributor holes caused an intense mixing in the distributor region of a fluidized bed with medium density particles (p s = 1.61 g/mL). For this case, a new and more realistic two-region CSTR-Dispersion model (i.e. the CD Model) was proposed which modeled the distributor region as a CSTR and the rest of the fluidized bed using the dispersion model. Here, the variation of liquid superficial velocity from 2.3 to 9.0 cm/s caused a variation of the axial dispersion coefficient in the bed region from 2.8 to 10.5 cm2 Is and the distributor region was found to vary from 0. 0 to 26. 0 cm in height. Thirdly, no distributor effects were observed in liquid fluidized beds containing high density solid particles (p s = 2.46 g/mL). Here, the dispersion model provided good prediction of the fluidized bed behaviour with the dispersion coefficient varying from 4.0 to 33.0 cm2/s for liquid superficial velocities ranging from 4.0 to 16.0 cm/s. Finally, the present study systematically examines the validity of the assumption of constant dispersion coefficient m carefully designed RTD experiments. Results prove conclusively that the dispersion model is valid only after tracer particles are exposed to the fluidized bed for a sufficiently long time. A quantitative criterion is proposed for the time constraint (r f) required for dispersion coefficients to reach the true values actually existing m the fluidized bed in a residence time distribution experiment.

description: "Consciousness and the Self' is a thesis in the philosophy of mind on the topic of consciousness from the perspective of the individual. I argue for the superiority of the first-person epistemological position based on introspection as a valid form of knowledge acquisition. I argue for the existence of qualia. And I propose a view of the self as the seat of consciousness and the core of one's personal identity. I discuss the views of William James, David Hume, Gilbert Ryle, Herbert Feigl, Thomas Nagel, John Searle, Anthony Quinton, J. J. C. Smart, Frank Jackson, Daniel Dennett, and Paul Churchland. I do not share the Eliminativists' enthusiasm for eradicating folk-psychology, the mind, and mental states. My views on both consciousness and the self lie between Non- Disappearance Identity Theory and Interactive Dualism. Thus, I emphasize the possibility of reconciling Materialism and Mentalism.
