description: Uncertainty plays a key role in real-time machine learning. As a significant shift from standard deep networks, which does not consider any uncertainty formulation during its training or inference, Bayesian deep networks are being currently investigated where the network is envisaged as an ensemble of plausible models learnt by the Bayes' formulation in response to uncertainties in sensory data. Bayesian deep networks consider each synaptic weight as a sample drawn from a probability distribution with learnt mean and variance. This paper elaborates on a hardware design that exploits cycle-to-cycle variability of oxide based Resistive Random Access Memories (RRAMs) as a means to realize such a probabilistic sampling function, instead of viewing it as a disadvantage.

description: Electronic structure of a newly discovered antiperovskite superconductor MgCNi$_3$ is investigated by using the LMTO band method. The main contribution to the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi energy $E_{\rm F}$ comes from Ni 3$d$ states which are hybridized with C 2$p$ states. The DOS at $E_{\rm F}$ is varied substantially by the hole or electron doping due to the very high and narrow DOS peak located just below $E_{\rm F}$. We have also explored electronic structures of C-site and Mg-site doped MgCNi$_3$ systems, and described the superconductivity in terms of the conventional phonon mechanism.

description: To explore the effect of lupus nephritis (LN) on graft survival in renal transplant patients. Literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus database for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort, and case-control studies. The target population of interest was adult patients (aged >18 years) with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and no history of previous renal transplants. Primary outcomes of interest were graft survival and patient survival. Pooled effect estimates were calculated using random-effects models and reported as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). A total of 15 studies were included. Compared to patients with ESRD due to other causes, patients with LN undergoing kidney transplant had lower patient survival rate (HR 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.31; N = 15, I2=34.3%) and worse graft survival (HR 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.11; N = 16, I2=0.0%), especially when studies with deceased donor were pooled together. Studies with a larger sample size (>200) showed that LN was strongly associated with lower graft and patient survival rates. Elevated risk of mortality in LN patients was detected in case-control studies, but not RCTs. On the other hand, RCTs, but not case-control studies, showed an increased risk of poor graft survival in LN patients. The findings suggest that the presence of LN might have a negative impact on both the graft survival and the overall patient survival of post-transplant ESRD patients. Further studies that account for factors such as study methodology, donor characteristics, and sample size are needed to reach definitive conclusions. Renal transplant patients with LN should undergo regular follow-up examinations.

description: The efficiency of women fanners in the agricultural sector of developing countries is passionately debated. Very few studies have examined this issue in African agriculture. All previous studies were based on production functions, but have been criticised as suffering from simultaneous equation bias because the input levels are endogenous. The profit function method avoids these problems. No previous study has used the profit function method to test for technical, allocative and economic efficiency differences between women and men farmers. The objective of this paper was to determine whether women rice farmers are less efficient than men rice farmers in Cote d 'Jvoire using the restricted normalised profit function method. Our results show that the relative degree of efficiency of women is similar to that of men. The paper provides empirical support for efforts to eliminate bias against women fanners in African agriculture.
title: Roma Identities and the Reproduction of Inequalities in Bulgaria: Kinship, Gender and the State
Creators: name: Tsankova, Iliana
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2024

description: This multi-sited ethnographic study is about the ‘unfinished’ identification, the singularity of experience and Roma ‘becoming’ in Bulgaria. By presenting a singularity of individual trajectories, voices and specific circumstance, the work explores Roma lives from ‘unexpected’ standpoints. The ‘unexpected’ and contradictory nature of the minutue of everyday lives manifests across different arenas from history, kinship and childhood to activism and conversion to Evangelism. The core idea of the thesis is that Roma identification can be intricate and at times problematic alongside, through, and despite of the constraining circumstantial external and internal structures and forces, including those of state and ‘community’. Following this logic, the overarching questions posed by the thesis are: What are the principles and behaviours that contradict ‘Roma-ness’ and community belonging? What are the exceptions to the ‘expected’ and how are these dealt with and navigated by the research interlocutors? The aim of this work is to paint a complex picture and to create episodes which do not necessarily make ‘one whole’ of a linear account, in order to illustrate the uneven nature of inequality and identification; and to give an account of the ways the individuals in the multi-sited field confront, negotiate and reproduce understandings and demands that are often conflicting and ambiguous. The research employs a self-reflexive approach to the material which is carried across chapter to chapter.
CP--violating Chargino Contributions to the Higgs Coupling to Photon Pairs in the Decoupling Regime of Higgs Sector

description: In most supersymmetric theories, charginos $\tildeχ^\pm_{1,2}$ belong to the class of the lightest supersymmetric particles and the couplings of Higgs bosons to charginos are in general complex so that the CP--violating chargino contributions to the loop--induced coupling of the lightest Higgs boson to photon pairs can be sizable even in the decoupling limit of large pseudoscalar mass $m_A$ with only the lightest Higgs boson kinematically accessible at future high energy colliders. We introduce a specific benchmark scenario of CP violation consistent with the electric dipole moment constraints and with a commonly accepted baryogenesis mechanism in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. Based on the benchmark scenario of CP violation, we demonstrate that the fusion of the lightest Higgs boson in linearly polarized photon--photon collisions can allow us to confirm the existence of the CP--violating chargino contributions {\it even in the decoupling regime of the Higgs sector} for nearly degenerate SU(2) gaugino and higgsino mass parameters of about the electroweak scale.

description: In this letter, we have demonstrated the possibility to efficiently relay the radiative heat flux between two nanoparticles by opening a smooth channel for heat transfer. By coating the nanoparticles with a silica shell and modifying the substrate with multilayered graphene sheets respectively, the localized phonon polaritons excited near the nanoparticles can couple with the multiple surface plasmon polaritons near the substrate to realize the heat relay in the long distance. The heat transfer can be enhanced by more than six orders of magnitude and the relay distance can be as high as 35 times in the far-field regime. The work may provide a way to realize the energy modulation or thermal communications especially in long distance.

description: In this paper we analyse the efficiency impacts of different property right allocations when one action produces a private and a public good. There are three players: an environmental agency, point-source emitters and diffuse emitters. We assume a diffuse emitter can undertake one action that produces two outputs: one he can sell to the environmental agency (a public good); and the other he can sell to point-source emitters (a private good). We analyse the efficiency implications of allocating the property right of the private good to either: (i) the agency, since in buying the public good the private good is produced as a by-product; or (ii) the diffuse emitter. Generally, the latter improves the efficiency outcome.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Ascertaining the total body water (V), usually obtained by the Watson formula or bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), is crucial for the calculation of Kt/V in patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). The aim of our study was to compare two different methods of determining V and explore which one is suitable for clinical application. This was a retrospective observational study. V was determined using the Watson formula (Vwat) and BIS (Vbis). The differences between Vbis and Vwat and between Kt/Vbis and Kt/Vwat were assessed. The patients were allocated to different groups according to the Kt/Vwat and Kt/Vbis values. Clinical parameters were compared between these groups to investigate which method of obtaining the Kt/V value was more suitable. 150 patients on PD were included. Vwat was significantly higher than Vbis, apart from in female patients with volume overload. Consequently, weekly Kt/Vwat was lower than Kt/Vbis in these patients. A significant negative correlation between mean Vwat-Vbis and overhydration values was also found. Moreover, through uniform manifold approximation and projection analysis, a clustering tendency between patients in the adequate group with both Kt/Vwat and Kt/Vbis > =1.7 and patients in the inconsistent group with Kt/Vwat <1.7 and Kt/Vbis > =1.7 was identified, suggesting that their clinical features were similar. There were significant differences between Vwat and Vbis and between Kt/Vwat and Kt/Vbis. Kt/Vwat may underestimate small-solute dialysis adequacy in most cases. Kt/Vbis instead of Kt/Vwat could be accounted for in creating individualized dialysis prescriptions if the patient has no obvious clinical symptoms.

description: Research Infrastructure (hereinafter referred as to RI) cost calculation can be multifaceted and complex.DiSSCo is at the same time a central team and a coordinated network responsible for supplying theinfrastructure’s services. The RI linked costs are spread all over Europe and are connected to thousands ofpeople. As the extended DiSSCo perimeter encompasses a wide range of services - from physical accessto digitisation on demand and consulting services - distributed among a great number of partners, costinformation is significantly decentralised.

The first “centralised” cost calculation leads to the following results:• The DiSSCo Central Hub office would need a minimum annual budget of €M 1.4 to be operational.This would not change between the construction and the operation phases.• The DiSSCo Central Hub IT team would need a budget of €M 2.2 to finalise all IT system under theconstruction phase (if the construction phase lasts two years, it would cost around €M 1.1 per year) inorder to develop the digital services that will facilitate access to NSC data. The annual cost to operatethese services would be around €M 1.2 per year.

This budget will evolve according to funding opportunities, the enlargement of the membership and theimplementation of a business model open to new sources of income. As it is often the case, researchinfrastructures grow over time and the more DiSSCo will be known and recognised, the more it will attractusers, and the more its budget will increase. 

In order to calculate the RI linked costs, which are spread all over Europe, T4.1 developed a costcalculation methodology that has been distributed among all the 170 DiSSCo partner institutions. 27institutions responded to the exercise. It allows for a first shared understanding on how to calculateDiSSCo related costs. It also provides the first figures on a cost per hour or a cost per service. It opens thedoor for a pricing under the realm of DiSSCo. Finally, such a methodology also aims at guaranteeing a fairservice pricing based on the same principles and variables;

description: We compute the mass, radius and tidal deformability of stars containing phase transitions from hadronic to quark phase(s). These quantities are computed for three types of hadronic envelopes: purely nuclear, hyperonic, and $Δ$-resonance--hyperon admixed matter. We consider either a single first-order phase transition to a quark phase with a maximally stiff equation of state (EOS) or two sequential first-order phase transitions mimicking a transition from hadronic to a quark matter phase followed by a second phase transition to another quark phase. We explore the parameter space which produces low-mass twin and triplet configurations where equal-mass stars have substantially different radii and tidal deformabilities. We demonstrate that while for purely hadronic stiff EOS the obtained maximum mass is inconsistent with the upper limit on this quantity placed by GW170817, the inclusion of the hyperonic and $Δ$-resonance degrees of freedom, as well as the deconfinement phase transition at sufficiently low density, produces a configuration of stars consistent with this limit. The obtained hybrid star configurations are in the mass range relevant for the interpretation of the GW170817 event. We compare our results for the tidal deformability with the limits inferred from GW170817 showing that the onset of non-nucleonic phases, such as $Δ$-resonance--hyperon admixed phase and/or the quark phase(s), are favored by this data if the nuclear EOS is stiff. Also, we show that low-mass twins and especially triplets proliferate the number of combinations of possible types of stars that can undergo a merger event, the maximal number being six in the case of triplets. The prospects for uncovering the first-order phase transition(s) to and in quark matter via measurements of tidal deformabilities in merger events are discussed.

description: Leadership computing facilities around the world support cutting-edge scientific research across a broad spectrum of disciplines including understanding climate change, combating opioid addiction, or simulating the decay of a neutron. While the increase in computational power has allowed scientists to better evaluate the underlying model, the size of these computational projects have grown to a point where a framework is desired to facilitate managing the workflow. A typical scientific computing workflow includes: Defining all input parameters for every step of the computation; Defining dependencies of computational tasks; Storing some of the output data; Post-processing these data files; Performing data analysis on output. EspressoDB is a programmatic object-relational data management framework implemented in Python and based on the Django web framework. EspressoDB was developed to streamline data management workflows, centralize and guarantee data integrity, while providing domain flexibility and ease of use. The framework provided by EspressoDB aims to support the ever increasing complexity of workflows of scientific computing at leadership computing facilities, with the goal of reducing the amount of human time required to manage the jobs, thus giving scientists more time to focus on science.

description: We investigate the equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of the core region of vortices in layered superconductors. We discuss the electronic structure of singly and doubly quantized vortices for both s-wave and d-wave pairing symmetry. We consider the intermediate clean regime, where the vortex-core bound states are broadened into resonances with a width comparable to or larger than the quantized energy level spacing, and calculate the response of a vortex core to an {\em a.c.} electromagnetic field for vortices that are pinned to a metallic defect. We concentrate on the case where the vortex motion is nonstationary and can be treated by linear response theory. The response of the order parameter, impurity self energy, induced fields and currents are obtained by a self-consistent calculation of the distribution functions and the excitation spectrum. We then obtain the dynamical conductivity, spatially resolved in the region of the core, for external frequencies in the range, $0.1Δ< \hbarω\lsim 3Δ$. We also calculate the dynamically induced charge distribution in the vicinity of the core. This charge density is related to the nonequilibrium response of the bound states and collective mode, and dominates the electromagnetic response of the vortex core.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: A stochastic dynamic model was constructed to analyze investment decisions of an individual farmer under risk in the presence of irreversibilities, embedded technical change and indivisible capital. An analytical solution was obtained and its local behavior studied by numerical methods. Optimal investment is obtained by regulating the difference between the desired and actual capital stocks between two barriers that define an inaction interval. While the desired capital drifts between the barriers, no action is taken. If the desired capital touches the upper barrier, the farmer invests pushing the average efficiency of the actual capital stock up. This in turn raises the desired capital even higher and contracts the inaction interval. If these effects are strong enough, the farmer will invest again until the potential gains of the technological package are exhausted. If the desired capital falls enough, the farmer disinvests, pushing down the average productivity and expanding the inaction interval. Disinvestment continues until it stops either because the inaction interval becomes so wide that it is no longer optimal to disinvest or because the actual capital stock is so small that it is no longer profitable to produce. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: Due to high binding energy and oscillator strength, excitons in thin flakes of transition metal dichalcogenides constitute a perfect foundation for realizing a strongly coupled light-matter system. In this paper we investigate mono- and few-layer WSe$_2$ flakes encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride and incorporated into a planar dielectric cavity. We use an open cavity design which provides tunability of the cavity mode energy by as much as 150 meV. We observe a strong coupling regime between the cavity photons and the neutral excitons in direct-bandgap monolayer WSe$_2$, as well as in few-layer WSe$_2$ flakes exhibiting indirect bandgap. We discuss the dependence of the exciton's oscillator strength and resonance linewidth on the number of layers and predict the exciton-photon coupling strength.

description: In China, most of the patients who underwent kidney transplants have unknown causes of end-stage renal disease (uESRD). However, little is known regarding the incidence of graft glomerulonephritis (GN) and graft survival in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with uESRD. In this retrospective cohort study, 473 of the 565 KTRs who underwent kidney transplantation (KTx) from 2015 to 2020 were included. We mainly observed the occurrence of graft GN between uESRD group and definitively diagnosed GN group, and repeatedly compared after propensity score matching (PSM). The median follow-up was 50 months in 473 KTRs, and about 75% of KTRs of native kidney disease of unknown etiology. The total cumulative incidence of graft GN was 17%, and no difference was observed between the definitively diagnosed GN group and the uESRD group (p = 0.76). Further, PSM analysis also showed no difference in the incidence of graft GN between the 2 groups. Multivariable analysis disclosed males (p = 0.001), younger age (p = 0.03), and anti-endothelial cell anti-body (AECA) positive pre-KTx (p = 0.001) were independent risk factors for graft GN. The incidence of graft GN was similar between uESRD and definitively diagnosed GN group. The allograft survival was also similar between two groups.

description: The unitarity based analysis carried out in hep-ph/0106161, involving the evaluation of Jarlskog's rephasing invariant parameter J and the angles of the unitarity triangle is extended to include the effects of K^0-\bar K^0 and B^0-\bar B^0 mixings. The present analysis attempts to evaluate CP violating phase δ, V_{td} and the angles of the unitarity triangle by invoking the constraints imposed by unitarity, K^0 -\bar K^0 and B^0 -\bar B^0 mixings separately as well as collectively, using the "full scanning" of input parameters. Interestingly, our results indicate that the lower limit of δis mostly determined by unitarity, while the upper limit is governed by constraints from Δm_{B_d}. Our analysis yields sin2β=0.50-0.88, which is in agreement with the BABAR results, however has marginal overlap only with the lower limit of recent BELLE results.

description: Mexico is the world's largest importer of non-fat dry milk (NFDM) and imports of cheese, fluid milk, and whey have increased rapidly in the past four years. In the wake of GA TI and the NAFf A, as well as recent economic developments in Mexico, world dairy markets will be affected as a result of changes in the Mexican dairy sector. The study analyzes both domestic and import demand for dairy products in Mexico to determine price and income elasticities as well as import elasticities. The results indicate that the demand for fluid milk is the most responsive to price changes and NFDM demand is inelastic with respect to its own price. There is little subtitution between fluid milk and non-fat dry milk, although fluid milk is relatively elastic, which suggests the existence of other substitutes for fluid milk. Estimation of import demand equations reveal similar trends in response to price changes, but income elasticity of imports was highest for fluid milk which suggests that Mexico will import possibly more fluid than dry milk as incomes rise. The exchange rate was the most significant variable influencing all dairy product imports.

Cosmic Density Perturbations from Late-Decaying Scalar Condensations

description: We study the cosmic density perturbations induced from fluctuation of the amplitude of late-decaying scalar condensations (called ϕ) in the scenario where the scalar field ϕonce dominates the universe. In such a scenario, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation originates to decay products of the scalar condensation and hence its anisotropy is affected by the fluctuation of ϕ. It is shown that the present cosmic density perturbations can be dominantly induced from the primordial fluctuation of ϕ, not from the fluctuation of the inflaton field. This scenario may change constraints on the source of the density perturbations, like inflation. In addition, a correlated mixture of adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations may arise in such a scenario; possible signals in the CMB power spectrum are discussed. We also show that the simplest scenario of generating the cosmic density perturbations only from the primordial fluctuation of ϕ(i.e., so-called ``curvaton'' scenario) is severely constrained by the current measurements of the CMB angular power spectrum if correlated mixture of the adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations are generated.

description: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent and serious condition in the intensive care unit (ICU), associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Septic acute kidney injury (SAKI) contributes substantially to AKI cases in the ICU. However, current diagnostic methods have limitations, necessitating the exploration of novel biomarkers. In this study, we investigated the potential of plasma and urine CCL2 levels as diagnostic markers for AKI and SAKI in 216 ICU patients. Our findings revealed significant differences in plasma (p < 0.01) and urine CCL2 (p < 0.0001) levels between AKI and non-AKI patients in the ICU. Notably, urine CCL2 demonstrated promising predictive value for AKI, exhibiting high specificity and sensitivity (AUC = 0.8976; p < 0.0001). Furthermore, we observed higher urine CCL2 levels in SAKI compared to non-septic AKI (p < 0.001) and urine CCL2 could also differentiate SAKI from non-septic AKI (AUC = 0.7597; p < 0.0001). These results suggest that urine CCL2 levels hold promise as early biomarkers for AKI and SAKI, offering valuable insights for timely intervention and improved management of ICU patients.

description: As customers get more demanding in product specifications and supply chains get longer and more complex, producers’ requirements for better information systems increase markedly, accentuating scale economies. Firm size in Australian food and fibre industries appears to be far below the optimum and, since this leads to higher unit costs, competitiveness is diminished. Australian governments encourage vertical integration, but largely ignore the horizontal integration required to make it viable. The paper outlines a the justification for a recently funded South Australian Government project and its scope, which includes: estimation of optimal firm size in SA food and fibre industries; estimation of the economic, social and environmental pay-off from structural adjustment; evaluation of the factors inhibiting evolution of more efficient industry structures; and development of socially optimal strategies for encouraging that evolution.

description: Purpose: This paper describes a new method to apply deep-learning algorithms for automatic segmentation of radiosensitive organs from 3D tomographic CT images before computing organ doses using a GPU-based Monte Carlo code. Methods: A deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for organ segmentation is trained to automatically delineate radiosensitive organs from CT. With a GPU-based Monte Carlo dose engine (ARCHER) to derive CT dose of a phantom made from a subject's CT scan, we are then able to compute the patient-specific CT dose for each of the segmented organs. The developed tool is validated by using Relative Dose Error (RDE) against the organ doses calculated by ARCHER with manual segmentation performed by radiologists. The dose computation results are also compared against organ doses from population-average phantoms to demonstrate the improvement achieved by using the developed tool. In this study, two datasets were used: The Lung CT Segmentation Challenge 2017 (LCTSC) dataset, which contains 60 thoracic CT scan patients each with 5 segmented organs, and the Pancreas-CT (PCT) dataset, which contains 43 abdominal CT scan patients each with 8 segmented organs. Five-fold cross-validation of the new method is performed on both datasets. Results: Comparing with the traditional organ dose evaluation method that based on population-average phantom, our proposed method achieved the smaller RDE range on all organs with -4.3%~1.5% vs -31.5%~33.9% (lung), -7.0%~2.3% vs -15.2%~125.1% (heart), -18.8%~40.2% vs -10.3%~124.1% (esophagus) in the LCTSC dataset and -5.6%~1.6% vs -20.3%~57.4% (spleen), -4.5%~4.6% vs -19.5%~61.0% (pancreas), -2.3%~4.4% vs -37.8%~75.8% (left kidney), -14.9%~5.4% vs -39.9% ~14.6% (gall bladder), -0.9%~1.6% vs -30.1%~72.5% (liver), and -23.0%~11.1% vs -52.5%~-1.3% (stomach) in the PCT dataset.

description: A search for lepton flavour violating decays of a neutral non-standard-model Higgs boson in the $μτ$ and e$τ$ decay modes is presented. The search is based on proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The $τ$ leptons are reconstructed in the leptonic and hadronic decay modes. No signal is observed in the mass range 200-900 GeV. At 95% confidence level, the observed (expected) upper limits on the production cross section multiplied by the branching fraction vary from 51.9 (57.4) fb to 1.6 (2.1) fb for the $μτ$ and from 94.1 (91.6) fb to 2.3 (2.3) fb for the e$τ$ decay modes.
