description: Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) is the method of detecting an individual device's energy signal from an aggregated energy consumption signature [1]. As existing energy meters provide very little to no information regarding the energy consumption of individual appliances apart from the aggregated power rating, the spotting of individual appliances' energy usages by NILM will not only provide consumers the feedback of appliance-specific energy usage but also lead to the changes of their consumption behavior which facilitate energy conservation. B Neenan et al. [2] have demonstrated that direct individual appliance-specific energy usage signals lead to consumers' behavioral changes which improves energy efficiency by as much as 15%. Upon disaggregation of an energy signal, the signal needs to be classified according to the appropriate appliance. Hence, the goal of this paper is to disaggregate total energy consumption data to individual appliance signature and then classify appliance-specific energy loads using a prominent supervised classification method known as K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). To perform this operation we have used a publicly accessible dataset of power signals from several houses known as the REDD dataset. Before applying KNN, data is preprocessed for each device. Then KNN is applied to check whether their energy consumption signature is separable or not. KNN is applied with K=5.

 Diagnosis
 Members of this genus are generally distinguishable from other hersiliid genera in the Palaearctic (except Ovtsharenkoia, Deltshevia, Duninia and Bastanius gen. nov.) by their short spinnerets (shorter than carapace). Furthermore, males can be diagnosed by their discoid tegulum, long and coiled embolus, and small tegular apophysis which is perpendicular to the axis of the palp (Marusik and Fet 2009: 89, fig. 4.1−4.4). The females can be diagnosed by their insemination ducts, which are coiled around the fertilisation ducts and uncoiled around the upper loop (Marusik and Fet 2009: 92, figs 7.1, 7.5, 7.6, 7.12, 8.1 – 8.4).

description: The largest Herschel extragalactic surveys, H-ATLAS and HerMES, have selected a sample of "ultrared" dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) with rising SPIRE flux densities ($S_{500} > S_{350} > S_{250}$; so-called "500 $μ$m-risers") as an efficient way for identifying DSFGs at higher redshift ($z > 4$). In this paper, we present a large Spitzer follow-up program of 300 Herschel ultrared DSFGs. We have obtained high-resolution ALMA, NOEMA, and SMA data for 63 of them, which allow us to securely identify the Spitzer/IRAC counterparts and classify them as gravitationally lensed or unlensed. Within the 63 ultrared sources with high-resolution data, $\sim$65% appear to be unlensed, and $\sim$27% are resolved into multiple components. We focus on analyzing the unlensed sample by directly performing multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling to derive their physical properties and compare with the more numerous $z \sim 2$ DSFG population. The ultrared sample has a median redshift of 3.3, stellar mass of 3.7 $\times$ 10$^{11}$ $M_{\odot}$, star formation rate (SFR) of 730 $M_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$, total dust luminosity of 9.0 $\times$ 10$^{12}$ $L_{\odot}$, dust mass of 2.8 $\times$ 10$^9$ $M_{\odot}$, and V-band extinction of 4.0, which are all higher than those of the ALESS DSFGs. Based on the space density, SFR density, and stellar mass density estimates, we conclude that our ultrared sample cannot account for the majority of the star-forming progenitors of the massive, quiescent galaxies found in infrared surveys. Our sample contains the rarer, intrinsically most dusty, luminous and massive galaxies in the early universe that will help us understand the physical drivers of extreme star formation.

description: MAXI J1820+070 (optical counterpart ASASSN-18ey) is a black hole candidate discovered through its recent very bright outburst. The low extinction column and long duration at high flux allow detailed measurements of the accretion process to be made. In this work, we compare the evolution of X-ray spectral and timing properties through the initial hard state of the outburst. We show that the inner accretion disc, as measured by relativistic reflection, remains steady throughout this period of the outburst. Nevertheless, subtle spectral variability is observed, which is well explained by a change in coronal geometry. However, characteristic features of the temporal variability - low-frequency roll-over and QPO frequency - increase drastically in frequency, as the outburst proceeds. This suggests that the variability timescales are governed by coronal conditions rather than solely by the inner disc radius. We also find a strong correlation between X-ray luminosity and coronal temperature. This can be explained by electron pair production with a changing effective radius and a non-thermal electron fraction of ~20%.

description: “Googling” is now ubiquitous in our society. We typically start searching on Google before we make purchase decisions or when we have interest in certain topics. Aggregating these search data can provide us with real-time and possibly accurate information on people's behavior. In fact, Google keeps tracks of all the search queries and has accumulated a tremendous amount of information about people's interest at the society level. It currently provides search volume data of keywords for different regions and time intervals on its free and public service of Google Trends. An interesting and hot research area is how to exploit the Google Search volume data in innovative ways to benefit our society. This paper aims to reveal the connection between obesity prevalence and people’s online search behavior in the United States by combining data from Google Trends and data from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) which is updated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) annually. We first handselected keywords that are associated to people's life style and used panel data model to study association between search pattern and obesity level. We found significant correlation power of those keywords with Body Mass Index (BMI) level and results suggest great promise of the idea of obesity monitoring through real-time Google Trends data. We believe this is an important finding and is particularly attractive for government health institutions and private businesses such as insurance companies etc.

description: We show a significant reduction of errors for an architecture of quantum annealers (QA) where bosonic modes mediate the interaction between qubits. These systems have a large redundancy in the subspace of solutions, supported by arbitrarily large bosonic occupations. We explain how this redundancy leads to a mitigation of errors when the bosonic modes operate in the ultrastrong coupling regime. Numerical simulations also predict a large increase of qubit coherence for a specific annealing problem with mediated interactions. We provide evidences that noise reduction occurs in more general types of quantum computers with similar architectures.

description: Climate change and its respective environmental impacts, such as dying lakes, is widely acknowledged. Studies on the impact of shrinking hyper-saline lakes suggest severe negative consequences for the health of the affected population. The primary aim was to investigate the relationship between changes in the water level of the hyper-saline Lake Urmia, along with the associated salt release, and the prevalence of hypertension and the general state of health of the local population in Shabestar County north of the lake. Moreover, we sought to map the vulnerability of the local population to the health risks associated with salt-dust scatter using multiple environmental and demographic characteristics. We applied a spatiotemporal analysis of the environmental parameters of Lake Urmia and the health of the local population. We analyzed health survey data from local health care centers and a national STEPS study in Shabestar County, Iran. We used a time-series of remote sensing images to monitor the trend of occurrence and extent of salt-dust storms between 2012 and 2020. To evaluate the impacts of lake drought on the health of the residences, we investigated the spatiotemporal correlation of the lake drought and the state of health of local residents. We applied a GIScience multiple decision analysis to identify areas affected by salt-dust particles and related these to the health status of the residents. According to our results, the lake drought has significantly contributed to the increasing cases of hypertension in local patients. The number of hypertensive patients has increased from 2.09% in 2012 to 19.5% in 2019 before decreasing slightly to 16.05% in 2020. Detailed results showed that adults, and particularly females, were affected most by the effects of the salt-dust scatter in the residential areas close to the lake. The results of this study provide critical insights into the environmental impacts of the Lake Urmia drought on the human health of the residents. Based on the results we suggest that detailed socioeconomic studies might be required for a comprehensive analysis of the human health issues in this area. Nonetheless, the proposed methods can be applied to monitor the environmental impacts of climate change on human health.

description: among consumers and between consumers and brands. Social media users can now interact with brands directly through Facebook and Twitter. These new features make social media a very distinctive class of online WOM. In this paper, we formulate a random coefficient discrete choice model of consumer demand to study whether and how consumer engagement and attention on the Internet affect the consumption of carbonated soft drinks (CSDs). We model consumer attention and engagement on social media as goodwill in order to capture the carry-over effects of WOM’s impact on demand and combine two types of product level data: monthly CSD sales data and social media data. Our results suggest that the three types of social media messages all have significant and positive effects on CSD demand. In particular, indirect engagement on Twitter has the largest impact on consumer demand, followed by direct engagement on Twitter and consumer engagement on Facebook.
Charged Dual String Vacua from Interacting Rotating Black Holes Via Discrete and Nonlinear Symmetries

description: Using the stationary formulation of the toroidally compactified heterotic string theory in terms of a pair of matrix Ernst potentials we consider the four-dimensional truncation of this theory with no U(1) vector fields excited. Imposing one time-like Killing vector permits us to express the stationary effective action as a model in which gravity is coupled to a matrix Ernst potential which, under certain parametrization, allows us to interpret the matter sector of this theory as a double Ernst system. We generate a web of string vacua which are related to each other via a set of discrete symmetries of the effective action (some of them involve S-duality transformations and possess non-perturbative character). Some physical implications of these discrete symmetries are analyzed and we find that, in some particular cases, they relate rotating black holes coupled to a dilaton with no Kalb--Ramond field, static black holes with non-trivial dilaton and antisymmetric tensor fields, and rotating and static naked singularities. Further, by applying a nonlinear symmetry, namely, the so-called normalized Harrison transformation, on the seed field configurations corresponding to these neutral backgrounds, we recover the U(1)^n Abelian vector sector of the four-dimensional action of the heterotic string, charging in this way the double Ernst system which corresponds to each one of the neutral string vacua, i.e., the stationary and the static black holes and the naked singularities.

 Forewing length: male 24–27 mm (mean (n = 6) 25.32 mm, SD = 1.042); female 21– 27 mm (mean (n = 11) 25.32 mm, SD = 1.496).
 Records. Occurs in savannah, Miombo woodland and open bush throughout Tanzania, at elevations from 250 to 2300 m (Kielland 1990, p.57). There are old specimens from the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro in the BMNH, including a male collected by F.J. Jackson, and three females from nearby Taveta (Kenya) collected by K. St Aubyn Rogers in the OUMNH. There is nothing to indicate that this species ascends into the forest zone on Kilimanjaro. The nominate race of this distinctive species is very widespread throughout arid areas of Africa, with separate subspecies recognized in parts of Arabia and South Africa (Ackery et al. 1995).
The males, although variable, are recognizable by the brownish apical area of the forewing upperside that encloses a series of golden or ochre-coloured spots (responsible for its common name of “gold tip”). Females are variable: some are fairly male-like but with a dull brownish forewing tip with pale spots, sometimes they are very lightly marked, and some have a bright yellow ground colour instead of white or off-white (both white and yellow forms are represented in the small sample in OUMNH). Van Son (1949, p.163) gives a key to four named forms of males and of females.

description: Beinahe alle Lebensbereiche sind durch die laufende Digitalisierung und den technologischen Fortschritt direkt oder indirekt beeinflusst. So hat diese Entwicklung auch unmittelbaren Einfluss auf den technischen B2B-Vertrieb in KMU. Um im technischen Vertrieb komplexe Lösungen mit höchstmöglichem KundInnennnutzen anbieten zu können, muss der Vertrieb mit überragender Fachkompetenz ausgestattet sein. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, Möglichkeiten und Wege von digitalen Werkzeugen aufzuzeigen, die den Vertrieb von KMU in der Laborbranche im DACH-Raum stärken können. Die Laborbranche zählt zur chemisch-pharmazeutischen Industrie. Gemessen an der Bruttowertschöpfungskette ist sie die drittgrößte Industrie Österreichs. Da sie damit einen beträchtlichen Wirtschaftszweig darstellt und bis dato noch keine Daten bezüglich Digitalisierungsgrad der Handelsunternehmen vorliegen, besteht in diesem Segment Forschungsbedarf. Zur Erfüllung der Zielsetzung wurde eine ausführliche Literaturrecherche in aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Fachbüchern, Fachartikeln und Internetquellen durchgeführt. Darauf aufbauend folgte eine empirische qualitative Forschung, die auf zehn Interviews mit ExpertInnen aus der Branche basierte. Befragt wurden hierbei sachkundige Personen von KMU des Laborfachhandels sowie KundInnen aus der Laborbranche. Ausgewertet wurden die gesammelten Daten nach der qualitativen computergestützten Inhaltsanalyse nach Kuckartz. Die im Ergebnis aus der vorliegenden Arbeit abgeleiteten Handelsempfehlungen zeigen, dass im technischen B2B-Vertrieb von KMU der Branche die Digitalisierung zwar voll Einzug gehalten hat, jedoch in den seltensten Fällen eine klare Vertriebsstrategie unter Einbindung des Vertrieb Außendienstes vorhanden ist. Die Arbeit zeigt auch deutlich, dass speziell an der Zusammenarbeit von Marketing und Vertrieb noch viel Verbesserungs- und Aufholbedarf besteht. Dabei haben speziell KMU auf Grund ihrer Größe die Chance, schnell auf durch die Digitalisierung entstehende Veränderungen am Markt zu reagieren, um flexibel auf die Bedürfnisse ihrer KundInnen einzugehen. Gerade die Struktur und die flache Hierarchie in den KMU der Branche bieten die beste Möglichkeit zu einer Differenzierung von Großunternehmen. Die größten Herausforderungen entstehen durch kostenintensive Anschaffungen in der IT-Infrastruktur sowie dem Finden qualifizierter MitarbeiterInnen, die für den technischen Vertrieb zur Erreichung langfristiger KundInnenbindung und einer positiven Geschäftsentwicklung unabdingbar sind.

description: Using a unique dataset from a household survey containing explicit social relationships among individual farmers, this study estimate the effect of peers on the revenue from cash crop sales among small-scale farmers in Northern India. We explore the learning mechanism through which peer effect occurs through improved input use and higher degree of commercialization. The significant and positive peer effects support the evidence of social learning. We control for the reflection problem using the technique proposed by Bramoulle, Djebbari, and Fortin (2009). Additionally, the positive evidence of peer effects do not disappear when we alter the definition of peers.

description: We study how the spin-statistics theorem relates to the geometric structures on phase space that are introduced in quantisation procedures (namely a U(1) bundle and connection). The relation can be proved in both the relativistic and the non-relativistic domain (in fact for any symmetry group including internal symmetries) without quantum field theory, by the requirement that the exchange can be implemented smoothly by a class of symmetry transformations that project in the phase space of the joint system. We discuss the interpretation of this requirement, stressing the fact that any distinction of identical particles comes solely from the choice of coordinates. We then examine our construction in the geometric and the coherent-state-path-integral quantisation schemes. In the appendix we apply our results to exotic systems exhibiting continuous ``spin'' and ``fractional statistics''. This gives novel and unusual forms of the spin-statistics relation.

description: The present article intends to approximate some concepts of the novel Law of Introduction to the Norms of Brazilian Law - LINDB to the principle of non-surprise applicable to the tax process, be it Administrative or Judicial. Federal Law n. 13,655 dated 04/25/2018, there was a need to include in Decree-Law No. 4.657, dated September 4, 1942 - Law on Introduction to the Rules of Brazilian Law - provisions on legal certainty and efficiency in the creation and application of public law. In this way, many doubts have arisen about the coexistence between the general rule of tax law, inserted in Article 144 of the National Tax Code, that the law in force at the time of the generating facts must be taken into account in the definition of an issue and that the majority case-law at the time of the same facts - if modified - should not serve as a parameter for decision-making. The study will have as a method the legal and bibliographical research on the subject.

An approximate block spin renormalization scheme is described for this problem. The ground state energy and local staggered magnetizations for this system are calculated, and compared with the results of a recent Quantum Monte Carlo calculation for the tiling. It is conjectured that the ground state energy is exactly equal to that of the quantum antiferromagnet on the square lattice.

Larsen 1996: pl. 7, figs 68 i, ii. d’ Abrera 1997: 83 (1 fig.). SI: Figure 7a–h.
 Forewing length: male 12.0– 19.5 mm (mean (n = 6) 16.72 mm, SD = 2.133); female 14.0–19.0 mm (mean (n = 8) 16.21 mm, SD = 1.299).
 Records. North East Tanzania (Kielland 1990, p.56) and eastern Kenya. Neither Kielland (1990) nor Larsen (1996) gives an altitude range, but the latter described it as “a typical savannah species” (Larsen 1996, p.135). Included here as a member of the lower slopes fauna on the basis of material from Taveta and a single female from Kilimanjaro in BMNH. Recorded from Taveta by Rogers (1913, p.99).
Males vary in the amount of black, and females are notably variable in ground colour, named forms including “jacksoni” (male-like: whitish with orange apical tip to upperside forewing), “arusa” (yellow with upperside orange tip) and “flavidus” (yellow without upperside orange tip). Beyond East Africa, this small species occurs from Arabia to Nigeria (Ackery et al. 1995, p.186).

description: The present research aims to present a parallel approach between the fundamental human right to food, as the main basic need of peripheral countries, in relation to transgenic food produced and the eradication of hunger. One can not forget the importance of trade, which is also caused by surplus food production and free enterprise, as a democratic economy linked to sustainable development and the economic development of agriculture. The methodology used was the dialectical method, based on bibliographical and qualitative research, in a multidisciplinary way, analyzing doctrine and jurisprudence. Ownership, now an integrating instrument for land distribution through Agrarian Reform, and its inclusion in the legal system, since the State has always been the main landowner. The influence of the Federal Constitution of 1988 that included as its foundations the dignity of the human person that consubstantiates in the eradication of poverty and the national development, as fundamental objectives. Emphasis is also placed on free enterprise in the chapter on Economic and Financial Order. Unfolding these constitutional norms, the National Biosafety Law emerges. Also reflecting the importance of free initiative for economic development and elimination of social inequalities, warning of the use of transgenic foods, looking at the natural environment and its forms, as well as human health. It was concluded that the fulfillment of man's happiness is only done with social justice. The advent of biotechnology with transgenic food to save the population from the dread of hunger that was plaguing the world, facing overpopulation. The dangers of the use of transgenic food by the lack of adequate information for consumers, its side effects. Aiming only at the profit, leaving a false economic development, food insecurity and maintenance of poverty. It is therefore necessary to align economic development and sustainable development and sustainable development, and fundamental human rights. The maintenance of the human species is imperative, since the right to food is a universal fundamental right.

description: carinatus
Ampullaria carinata Olivier, 1804a: 39; 1804b: 68; Cyclostoma carinata Olivier, 1804 c: vi [explication des planches], pl. 31, figs. 2a, b. Type material — lectotype (Cowie & Héros 2012: 798): MNHN 23075 (ex MNHN 4640); paralectotypes: MNHN 4640 (4 spms.), MNHN 4708 (4 spms.). Type locality —“canaux d’Égypte” [“Alexandrie” (label of MNHN 4708), “Alexandria” (label of MNHN 4640)]. Distribution — Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda (Brown 1980: 49, 1994, 59).
Remarks. Olivier’s text was published in two formats (Baur & Adler 2003; Cowie & Héros 2012: 798), both of which use the genus name Ampullaria. The atlas, which includes an “explication des planches” and the plates themselves, uses the genus name Cyclostoma. There is no evidence that the two versions of the text and the Atlas were not published simultaneously (Baur & Adler 2003; Cowie & Héros 2012: 798). It is therefore not possible to ascertain the original combination, Ampullaria or Cyclostoma. MHNG-INVE-51294 and MHNG-INVE-512945 (formerly 1093/97 and 1093/98) were listed as “ types ” by G. Mermod in his index card file of the MHNG Lamarck collection. However, this merely means that they were the original specimens to which Lamarck (1822a) referred, and are not to be considered as part of Olivier’s type series (Y. Finet pers. comm. 1 October 2013). Valid species, teste G.B. Sowerby III (1916: 65), Pilsbry & Bequaert (1927: 186), Brown (1980: 49, 1994: 57) and Berthold (1991: 246), who all placed it in subg. Lanistes s. str., and Cowie & Héros (2012: 798), who simply placed it in Lanistes. Type species of Lanistes Montfort and Bolteniana Bourguignat.

Remarks. Name attributed by Kobelt to Sowerby & Fulton. Kobelt explicitly based his description on two specimens; that there are three specimens in the type series may reflect an error by him (R. Janssen pers. comm. 18 October 2013).

description: In this paper we try to determine the stockholder’s desire approach to financial ratios using a combination of principal component analysis and grey theory. Grey principal component analysis (GPCA) handles poor information reduces dimensions of variables and gives an appropriate score to each company. Here we employ GPCA to identify more appropriate strategies of normalizing data curves to reduce the discrepancy between the GPCA-ranking and return-ranking, hence determining the approaches of stockholders of listed pharmaceutical firms of Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) regarding financial ratios.
title: Herausforderungen und Aufstiegsbarrieren für Frauen in Führungspositionen am Beispiel von österreichischen Handwerksbetrieben

description: Bereits seit vielen Jahren engagieren sich Frauen für die Gleichberechtigung und Chancengleichheit der zwei Geschlechter. Trotz einiger politischer, feministischer und wirtschaftlicher Bemühungen in der Vergangenheit, muss die bisherige Gleichstellung von Mann und Frau vor allem auf Ebene der Führungskräfte des in der Regel männerdominierten Berufsfelds Handwerk in der gegenwärtigen gesellschaftlichen Situation infrage gestellt werden. Die vorliegende Masterthesis befasst sich mit den Gründen für die deutliche vorherrschende Unterrepräsentanz von Frauen in leitenden Positionen in Handwerksbetrieben sowie mit den geschlechtsspezifischen Herausforderungen auf gesellschaftlicher, innerbetrieblicher und persönlicher Ebene, die Einfluss auf ihre Karrierechancen und ihr Privatleben haben. Welche Rolle Unternehmen, die Politik, das eigene Selbstbild oder die Gesellschaft dabei spielen, wird umfangreich analysiert und erörtert. Nach der Darstellung möglicher Barrieren, werden Maßnahmen definiert, die zur Unterstützung und Förderung weiblicher Kräfte in den verschiedenen handwerklichen und technischen Bereichen gesetzt werden können. Im Zuge der empirischen Untersuchung werden für die Beantwortung der Forschungsfragen Interviews mit weiblichen Führungskräften aus österreichischen Handwerksbetrieben geführt, wobei es sich bei den Gesprächen um eine Reflexion des eigenen Karriereverlaufs sowie um die Beurteilung und Einschätzung der jeweiligen Karriere vor dem Hintergrund des „Frauseins“ handelte. Zusätzlich relevante Themen sind die persönliche Akzeptanz im Unternehmen sowie die Konfrontation mit geschlechtsspezifischen Vorurteilen und gängigen Klischees. Der Fokus der Befragungen liegt besonders auf der Klärung der Vereinbarkeit von Karriere und Kinderplanung. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse zeigen, dass Frauen in männerdominierten Branchen aufgrund gesellschaftlicher Normen und Rollenerwartungen auch heute noch mit diversen geschlechtsspezifischen Herausforderungen auf ihrem Karriereweg konfrontiert sind. Diese werden als Teil der Sozialisierung am Arbeitsplatz kontinuierlich reproduziert und führen zu Ungleichheiten zwischen Männern und Frauen. Neben persönlichem Selbstzweifel und der Doppelbelastung durch Familie und Beruf spielt hierbei der Aspekt des Betriebs eine wesentliche Rolle und kann zu einer Benachteiligung von Frauen bei deren beruflichen Werdegang führen. Im empirischen Teil wird Bezug auf die Praxis genommen und untersucht, inwiefern ein Zusammenhang zwischen Theorie und Realität besteht.

description: We apply a complex chiral random matrix model as an effective model to QCD with a small chemical potential at zero temperature. In our model the correlation functions of complex eigenvalues can be determined analytically in two different limits, at weak and strong non-Hermiticity. We compare them to the distribution of the smallest Dirac operator eigenvalues from quenched QCD lattice data for small values of the chemical potential, appropriately rescaled with the volume. This confirms the existence of two different scaling regimes from lattice data.

description: In this paper, we propose the coarse-to-fine optimization for the task of speech enhancement. Cosine similarity loss [1] has proven to be an effective metric to measure similarity of speech signals. However, due to the large variance of the enhanced speech with even the same cosine similarity loss in high dimensional space, a deep neural network learnt with this loss might not be able to predict enhanced speech with good quality. Our coarse-to-fine strategy optimizes the cosine similarity loss for different granularities so that more constraints are added to the prediction from high dimension to relatively low dimension. In this way, the enhanced speech will better resemble the clean speech. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed coarse-to-fine optimization in both discriminative models and generative models. Moreover, we apply the coarse-to-fine strategy to the adversarial loss in generative adversarial network (GAN) and propose dynamic perceptual loss, which dynamically computes the adversarial loss from coarse resolution to fine resolution. Dynamic perceptual loss further improves the accuracy and achieves state-of-the-art results compared with other generative models.
