description: Анализируются доклады поверенного в делах Финляндии в Испании и Португалии Георга Винкельманна, в которых нашла отражение внутриполитическая ситуация в 1936 году — краткий период, предшествующий гражданской войне, и первые месяцы противоборства республиканцев и возглавляемых генералами Э.Мола и Ф.Франко мятежников. Поскольку вскоре после начала мятежа Винкельманн, как и весь дипломатический корпус, покинули испанскую столицу, переехав первоначально к франко-испанской границе, а в сентябре 1936 г. в Лиссабон, он не мог обладать сколько-нибудь существенной полнотой информации о происходящем собственно на фронтах гражданской войны, тем не менее он оказался способен уловить основные тенденции развития ситуации. Возникающие в его донесениях логические противоречия оставались незамеченными им. Для него, тем не менее, к концу 1936 г. становится очевидным, что помощь извне как одной стороне, так и другой приобретает все менее скрываемые формы, а сама гражданская война — второстепенное значение по сравнению с той борьбой, которая разворачивается между державами, придерживающимися разных позиций.

description: In sewer pipe Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection, accurate temporal defect localization is essential for effective defect classification, detection, segmentation and quantification. Industry standards typically do not require time-interval annotations, even though they are more informative than time-point annotations for defect localization, resulting in additional annotation costs when fully supervised methods are used. Additionally, differences in scene types and camera motion patterns between pipe inspections and Temporal Action Localization (TAL) hinder the effective transfer of point-supervised TAL methods. Therefore, this study introduces a Semi-supervised multi-Prototype-based method incorporating visual Odometry for enhanced attention guidance (PipeSPO). PipeSPO fully leverages unlabeled data through unsupervised pretext tasks and utilizes time-point annotated data with a weakly supervised multi-prototype-based method, relying on visual odometry features to capture camera pose information. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that PipeSPO achieves 41.89% average precision across Intersection over Union (IoU) thresholds of 0.1-0.7, improving by 8.14% over current state-of-the-art methods.

Tax-Exempt Hospitals and Their Communities

description: Hospitals in the U.S. have long been able to obtain exemption from federal income tax because they meet the requirement known as the standard of "community benefit." Yet lawmakers and scholars know virtually nothing about the actual workings of tax-exempt hospitals, or about whether, how, and to what extent they deliver benefits to their communities. Within the last five years, however, IRS tax return forms have started asking hospitals to quantify these benefits, as well as to give detailed information about their financial practices with respect to their patients. These new questions coincide with new requirements for tax-exempt hospitals put in place as part of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. The new tax return data offer a first-time opportunity to evaluate the workings of tax-exempt hospitals from the perspective of both the traditional requirements for tax-exempt hospitals and the 2010 healthcare reforms of the Affordable Care Act.

This Article analyzes data from all tax-exempt hospitals in the U.S. in 2012 to show that tax-exempt hospitals differ widely in their provision of community benefits (and financial practices). In particular, these activities vary systematically in relation to their different notions of "community" and the characteristics of the communities where the hospitals are located. This evidence demonstrates that tax-exempt hospitals seem to be responding to the specific needs of their own communities when allocating their resources among different community-benefit activities. The data show, in addition, that while tax-exempt hospitals are generally adopting the financial policies that Congress and the IRS are requesting, hospital financial aid policies also vary by community. These findings raise several fundamental questions for lawmakers and tax policy scholars in the era of the Affordable Care Act. In particular, the findings suggest that lawmakers need to grapple seriously with how they allow tax-exempt hospitals to define their communities. For example, is it appropriate for tax-exempt hospitals merely to benefit a narrowly defined community or should they operate in terms of a broader understanding of community? In light of the new data presented, this Article considers these questions and outlines several alternatives to the "community benefit" standard to address them.
Holistic Coreset Selection for Data Efficient Image Quality Assessment

description: Coreset selection improves training efficiency in deep learning but faces unique challenges in image quality assessment (IQA), where perceptual alignment with human vision and the interplay of distortions, semantics, and quality annotations are critical. Existing methods, designed for classification via static scoring criteria, fail to address IQA-specific multi-dimensional complexities, leading to suboptimal subset construction. We propose perceptually guided coreset selection (PGCS), which employs adaptive sampling over a partitioned IQA latent space to dynamically balance distortion characteristics, perceptual quality, and semantic context. Latent space partitions are created based on the coverage of data points, ensuring that each partition reflects the overall structure of the dataset. Our adaptive strategy dynamically adjusts selection range ensuring that local densities are preserved and better represented. Evaluated across five IQA benchmarks, PGCS-optimized coresets (5% - 90% of original data) reduce dataset redundancy and annotation noise while achieving
A limit formula for joint spectral radius with $p$-radius of probability distributions

description: In this paper we show a characterization of the joint spectral radius of a set of matrices as the limit of the $p$-radius of an associated probability distribution when $p$ tends to $\infty$. Allowing the set to have infinitely many matrices, the obtained formula extends the results in the literature. Based on the formula, we then present a novel characterization of the stability of switched linear systems for an arbitrary switching signal via the existence of stochastic Lyapunov functions of any higher degrees. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results.

Who Should Decide Whether the Apple is Rotten? Tax Disclosure and Corporate Political Agency

description: Enron-type corporate financial accounting scandals in the beginning of the millennium have given rise to a renewed interest in corporate tax disclosure. Anecdotal evidence suggesting a connection between corporate fraud and aggressive tax planning has motivated academics and policymakers to reconsider tax disclosure as a way to monitor corporate governance and limit tax avoidance. This article offers a different perspective on tax disclosure, tying it to the broader question of how policymakers should monitor the political impact of corporate business activities.

The article claims that policymakers should view corporations’ tax planning strategies as part of a broader corporate political impact on social issues. This impact results from the genuine difficulty of bifurcating corporate business decisions from their political ones. This difficulty is a result of many judgment calls required in such decisions, which relate to individuals’ moral and political preferences. Tax planning is one of these mixed business-political decisions, and the article advances the notion that policymakers should analyze tax planning not only as a law enforcement issue, but also through corporate governance lenses. To establish this inquiry, the article explains why the investor-shareholder relationship gives rise to political agency problems, which neither traditional nor critical corporate law literatures recognize. It then demonstrates how the costs associated with this type of agency relationship could be reduced via disclosure of information about the impact of corporate activities on issues of political concern. The article uses insights from financial markets theory to explain how disclosure of non-financial information would help to better align corporate actions with the political preferences of shareholders, despite shareholder rational passivity and apathy. It is then illustrated, through the Apple case, how policymakers can use the theoretical conclusions reached through this analysis to formulate a real world policy proposal with respect to corporation tax planning. Through its use of a wide range of interdisciplinary resources, this article aims to reformulate the multi-layered inquiry over the benefits and costs associated with corporate tax disclosure.

description: The extremely metal-poor stars are the direct descendants of the first generation stars. They carry the chemical signature of the pristine Universe at the time they formed, shortly after the Big Bang. We aim to derive information about extremely metal-poor stars from their observed spectra. Four extremely metal-poor stars were selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and observed during the guaranteed observing time of X-Shooter. The X-Shooter spectra were analysed using an automatic code, MyGIsFOS, which is based on a traditional analysis method. It makes use of a synthetic grid computed from one-dimensional, plane-parallel, hydrostatic model atmospheres. The low metallicity derived from the SDSS spectra is confirmed here. Two kinds of stars are found. Two stars are confirmed to be extremely metal-poor, with no evidence of any enhancement in carbon. The two other stars are strongly enhanced in carbon. We could not derive iron abundance for one of them, while [Ca/H] is below -4.5. Two of the stars are members of the rare population of extremely metal-poor stars low in alpha elements.

description: We report a study of transport blockade features in a quantum dot single-electron transistor, based on an undoped AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure. We observe suppression of transport through the ground state of the dot, as well as negative differential conductance at finite source-drain bias. The temperature and magnetic field dependence of these features indicate the couplings between the leads and the quantum dot states are suppressed. We attribute this to two possible mechanisms: spin effects which determine whether a particular charge transition is allowed based on the change in total spin, and the interference effects that arise from coherent tunneling of electrons in the dot.

description: At the recent Columbia Law School Kernochan Center Symposium Creation Is Not Its Own Reward: Making Copyright Work for Authors and Performers, a diverse group of creators, academics, lobbyists and practicing attorneys presented their views on how copyright law succeeds or fails in providing the creators of copyrighted works with appropriate rights and protections in the ever-changing digital copyright ecosystem. Speakers disagreed not only on whether or not the copyright system was working in favor of or against the interests of creators, but also on fundamental copyright principles. This is not surprising; while most academics and practitioners seem to accept, to one extent or another, that creators are not treated well in the digital age, there is no consensus on the 200-year-old constitutional threshold question: should copyright be viewed as a property interest or an economic theory? If a property interest, then copyright might actually work better for authors and performers in the future. But if an economic theory, the chance for authors and performers to thrive and prosper in the digital era decreases dramatically.

description: The direct measurement of the reaction or capture (fusion) cross section is a difficult task since it would require the measurement of individual cross sections of many reaction channels, and most of them could be reached only by specific experiments. This would require different experimental set-ups not always available at the same laboratory and, consequently, such direct measurements would demand a large amount of beam time and would take probably some years to be reached. Because of that, the measurements of elastic scattering angular distributions that cover full angular ranges and optical model analysis have been used for the determination of reaction cross sections. This traditional method consists in deriving the parameters of the complex optical potentials which fit the experimental elastic scattering angular distributions and then of deriving the reaction cross sections predicted by these potentials. Even so, both the experimental part and the analysis of this latter method are not so simple. In the present work we present a much simpler methods to determine reaction and capture (fusion) cross sections. They consist of measuring only elastic or quasi-elastic scattering at one backward angle, and from that, the extraction of the reaction or capture cross sections can easily be performed.

description: We present a systematic study of the density profiles of LCDM halos, focusing on the outer regions, 0.1 < r/Rvir < 9. We show that the median and mean profiles of halo samples of a given peak height exhibit significant deviations from the universal analytic profiles discussed previously in the literature, such as the Navarro-Frenk-White and Einasto profiles, at radii r > 0.5 R200m. In particular, at these radii the logarithmic slope of the median density profiles of massive or rapidly accreting halos steepens more sharply than predicted. The steepest slope of the profiles occurs at r ~ R200m, and its absolute value increases with increasing peak height or mass accretion rate, reaching slopes of -4 and steeper. Importantly, we find that the outermost density profiles at r > R200m are remarkably self-similar when radii are rescaled by R200m. This self-similarity indicates that radii defined with respect to the mean density are preferred for describing the structure and evolution of the outer profiles. However, the inner density profiles are most self-similar when radii are rescaled by R200c. We propose a new fitting formula that describes the median and mean profiles of halo samples selected by their peak height or mass accretion rate with accuracy < 10% at all radii, redshifts and masses we studied, r < 9 Rvir, 0 < z < 6 and Mvir > 1.7E10 Msun/h. We discuss observational signatures of the profile features described above, and show that the steepening of the outer profile should be detectable in future weak-lensing analyses of massive clusters. Such observations could be used to estimate the mass accretion rate of cluster halos.

description: We have investigated controversial issues regarding the mesoscale behavior of 3-methylpyridine (3MP), heavy water, and sodium tetraphenylborate (NaBPh4) solutions by combining results obtained from dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). We have addressed three questions: (i) what is the origin of the mesoscale inhomogeneities (order of 100 nm in size) manifested by the "slow mode" in DLS? (ii) Is the periodic structure observed from SANS an inherent property of this system? (iii) What is the universality class of critical behavior in this system? Our results confirm that the "slow mode" observed from DLS experiments corresponds to long-lived, highly stable mesoscale droplets (order of 100 nm in size), which occur only when the solute (3MP) is contaminated by hydrophobic impurities. SANS data confirm the presence of a periodic structure with a periodicity of about 10 nm. This periodic structure cannot be eliminated by nanopore filtration and thus is indeed an inherent solution property. The critical behavior of this system, in the range of concentration and temperatures investigated by DLS experiments, indicates that the criticality belongs to the universality class of the 3-dimensional Ising model.

description: The story of the video game industry, like that of many other creative art forms, is in part a testament to the power of copyright law. Compared with many other industries that rely on copyright protection, however, the video game industry is relatively young. Although there is considerable debate about the industry’s precise birthdate, most point to the early- to mid- 1970s as the point at which video games entered into the mainstream consciousness. Coming of age around the same time that the 1976 Copyright Act was being debated and later implemented, an initial challenge for the industry was simply ensuring that authors of video games received the same scope of copyright protection as authors of more traditional forms of media. Given that the defining characteristic of video game software was its interactivity, with the audiovisual output controlled in part by user interaction, there was initially some uncertainty about the extent to which early video games could be protected by copyright. Indeed, the Register of Copyrights once famously declined to register a copyright claim in the audiovisual components of a video game in part because the content was not an original work of authorship due to its interactive nature. In denying the claim for copyright, the Register noted that the audiovisual components of the game could not be registered because “they are created randomly by the player and not by the author of the video game.” Of course, the Register was subsequently persuaded to register the work, and questions about the copyrightability of video games have faded. Unsurprisingly, however, other copyright challenges have emerged.

description: In this paper we review the theory of the Yang-Baxter equation related to the 6-vertex model and its higher spin generalizations. We employ a 3D approach to the problem. Starting with the 3D R-matrix, we consider a two-layer projection of the corresponding 3D lattice model. As a result, we obtain a new expression for the higher spin $R$-matrix associated with the affine quantum algebra $U_q(\widehat{sl(2)})$. In the simplest case of the spin $s=1/2$ this $R$-matrix naturally reduces to the $R$-matrix of the 6-vertex model. Taking a special limit in our construction we also obtain new formulas for the $Q$-operators acting in the representation space of arbitrary (half-)integer spin. Remarkably, this construction can be naturally extended to any complex values of spin $s$. We also give all functional equations satisfied by the transfer-matrices and $Q$-operators.

description: Critical systems represent a valuable resource in quantum sensing and metrology. Critical quantum sensing (CQS) protocols can be realized using finite-component phase transitions, where criticality arises from the rescaling of system parameters rather than the thermodynamic limit. Here, we show that a collective quantum advantage can be achieved in a multipartite CQS protocol using a chain of parametrically coupled critical resonators in the weak-nonlinearity limit. We derive analytical solutions for the low-energy spectrum of this unconventional quantum many-body system, which is composed of locally critical elements. We then assess the scaling of the quantum Fisher information with respect to fundamental resources. We demonstrate that the coupled chain outperforms an equivalent ensemble of independent critical sensors, achieving quadratic scaling in the number of resonators. Finally, we show that even with finite Kerr nonlinearity or Markovian dissipation, the critical chain retains its advantage, making it relevant for implementing quantum sensors with current microwave superconducting technologies.

description: In March 2013, U.S. Register of Copyrights Maria Pallante gave the Horace S. Manges Lecture at Columbia Law School. Settling into her role as Register, she compared some of the issues of the day to issues that had faced previous Registers, and urged Congress, the copyright bar, the creative community and the public at large to consider beginning work on “The Next Great Copyright Act.”

Now, after more than a year of comprehensive review hearings before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet, and simultaneous inquiries into various copyright topics by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and by the Copyright Office itself, it is possible to explore whether a “Next Great Copyright Act” is the best approach to address the challenges facing authors and their audiences, or whether other bold approaches, such as a restructuring of the Copyright Office, might better serve the public interest.

As an advocate for artists and authors, I believe that the Copyright Act must first and foremost serve the public interest, which, as Register Pallante aptly noted in her remarks, is inextricably linked with promoting the well-being of authors and artists. Put simply, if the public believes that art matters, then its authors matter. Consequently, a Copyright Act that encourages and empowers artists and authors in the creation and dissemination of works of authorship to the public best serves the public interest. These principles have been at the heart of copyright law in the United States since the beginning. Because copyright law is now more than ever also intertwined with the advancement of new technologies, we also cannot ignore the need to ensure a Copyright Act that is as “future proof’ as possible. This suggests that a nimble approach to addressing the issues of the day is needed.
Linear-drifting sub-pulse sources in radio pulsars

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Analysis of plasma acceleration in pulsars with positive corotational charge density has shown that any element of area on the polar cap is bi-stable: it can be in phases either of pure proton emission or of mixed ions and protons (the ion phase). Ion-phase zones are concentrated near the edge of the polar cap, and are a physical basis for the coherent radio emission observed as components within the mean pulse profile. The state of the polar cap is generally chaotic, but organized linear motion of ion zones in a peripheral band is possible and is the likely source of sub-pulse drift. It is shown that several patterns of limited movement are possible and can account for the varied phenomena observed including mirror and bi-directional drifting.

description: I have been a professional actor for forty-two years. I have worked in over a hundred theatrical and television films, been in several TV series and done scores of guest appearances on other TV shows. During those years I have also done dramatic radio works, TV and radio commercials, audio books and worked on and off Broadway.

Simultaneously, I served over twenty-five years as National President, Vice President and Board Member of Screen Actors Guild, and after our merger, as a Board Member of Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). SAG-AFTRA is a national labor union representing more than 165,000 actors, announcers, broadcasters, recording artists, background vocalists and other media professionals.’ We are the largest performers’ union in the world, and we exist to protect the economic and artistic rights of media artists in motion pictures, television, sound recordings and most other forms of media.
Temperature and phase-space density of cold atom cloud in a quadrupole magnetic trap

description: We present studies on the modifications in temperature, number density and phase-space density when a laser cooled atom cloud from the optical molasses is trapped in a quadrupole magnetic trap. Theoretically it is shown that for a given temperature and size of the cloud from the molasses, the phase-space density in the magnetic trap first increases with magnetic field gradient and then decreases with it, after attaining a maximum value at an optimum value of magnetic field gradient. The experimentally measured variation in phase-space density in the magnetic trap with the magnetic field gradient has shown the similar trend. However, the experimentally measured values of number density and phase-space density are much lower than their theoretically predicted values. This is attributed to the higher experimentally observed temperature in the magnetic trap than the theoretically predicted temperature. Nevertheless, these studies can be useful to set a higher phase-space density in the trap by setting the optimum value of field gradient of the quadrupole magnetic trap.

description: My heartfelt thanks to June M. Besek for organizing this Symposium at the Kernochan Center, and inviting me to participate on a panel as a representative of graphic artists. Usually the people who are invited to speak on panels or testify at hearings are aggregators or distributors of copyrighted works (publishers, production companies, stock image companies, etc.), IP attorneys representing large trade associations of corporate rights holders and law professors. Rarely are working professional artists invited to explain what we do in the marketplace and how we work with our clients. I am honored and very grateful for this opportunity, as well as the opportunity to write for the Journal.

June prepared those of us she invited on her panel by giving us some questions to discuss. In addition to our shared time at the Symposium, she suggested that we could write more for the Journal. There is so much more that I’d like to elaborate on for her first question to us:

“What is it like to earn a living in the current environment (obstacles and advantages, whether it’s harder or easier than when you got into your field, etc.)?”

description: In a general conformal field theory, perturbations to the vacuum state obey the relation δS = δE, where δS is the change in entanglement entropy of an arbitrary ball-shaped region, and δE is the change in "hyperbolic" energy of this region. In this note, we show that for holographic conformal field theories, this relation, together with the holographic connection between entanglement entropies and areas of extremal surfaces and the standard connection between the field theory stress tensor and the boundary behavior of the metric, implies that geometry dual to the perturbed state satisfies Einstein's equations expanded to linear order about pure AdS.

DEEP FEATURES BASED ON CONTRASTIVE FUSION OF TRANSFORMER AND CNN FOR SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2025

description: Image segmentation plays a crucial role in various computer vision applications for accurately identifying and extracting objects or regions of interest within an image. Despite significant advancements in state-of-the-art (SOTA) models for semantic segmentation, many still rely on additional and huge datasets to improve their performance. We introduce ContraFusionNet (CFN), a novel way of combining the spatial understanding property of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and deep feature extraction capability of attention in transformers for robust semantic segmentation even in limited data paradigms. It uses student-teacher learning with contrastive loss for improved feature assimilation. Notably, our model performs better than others when trained on the large Cityscape dataset without soliciting any external dataset. This is a significant step in reducing the data dependency for the segmentation task. We have also shown that when our proposed fusion strategy is applied to other SOTA methods, it leads to improving their performance.
Reaction Rate Theory of Radiation Exposure and Scaling Hypothesis in Mutation Frequency

description: We develop a kinetic reaction model for cells having irradiated DNA molecules due to ionizing radiation exposure. Our theory simultaneously accounts for the time-dependent reactions of the DNA damage, the DNA mutation, the DNA repair, and the proliferation and apoptosis of cells in a tissue with a minimal set of model parameters. In contrast to existing theories for radiation exposition, we do not assume the relationships between the total dose and the induced mutation frequency. Our theory provides a universal scaling function that reasonably explains the mega-mouse experiments in Ref.[W. L. Russell and E. M. Kelly, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. {\bf 79} (1982) 542.] with different dose rates. Furthermore, we have estimated the effective dose rate, which is biologically equivalent to the ionizing effects other than those caused by artificial irradiation. This value is $ 1.11 \times 10^{-3} ~\rm{[Gy/hr]}$, which is significantly larger than the effect caused by natural background radiation.
