description: Experiments searching for very rare processes such as neutrinoless double-beta decay require a detailed understanding of all sources of background. Signals from radioactive impurities present in construction and detector materials can be suppressed using a number of well-understood techniques. Background from in situ cosmogenic interactions can be reduced by siting an experiment deep underground. However, the next generation of such experiments have unprecedented sensitivity goals of 1028 years half-life with background rates of 10-5cts/(keV kg yr) in the region of interest. To achieve these goals, the remaining cosmogenic background must be well understood. In the work presented here, Majorana Demonstrator data are used to search for decay signatures of metastable germanium isotopes. Contributions to the region of interest in energy and time are estimated using simulations and compared to Demonstrator data. Correlated time-delayed signals are used to identify decay signatures of isotopes produced in the germanium detectors. A good agreement between expected and measured rate is found and different simulation frameworks are used to estimate the uncertainties of the predictions. The simulation campaign is then extended to characterize the background for the LEGEND experiment, a proposed tonne-scale effort searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay in Ge76.

description: This article explores the operation of homeless encampments as a part of governance by highlighting the role of affective atmospheres. The COVID-19 pandemic and the imposition of lockdowns have seen the introduction of unprecedented measures into homelessness governance in Czech cities. Some have set up temporary homeless encampments as a response to the declaration of the state of emergency. Relying on interviews and observations, this article reveals that such measures in cities differed significantly in both character and outcomes. Based on a repeated instances comparison of the socio-material and affective entanglements of operating two emergency encampments – one in the regional city of Pilsen and the other in the capital city of Prague – the article argues that affective atmospheres play a vital role in their practical operations and perceived outcomes. While no simple dichotomy is implied, in Pilsen, order was implemented through a surveillance logic that instigated conflicts and created an atmosphere of frustration, while in Prague, the benevolence and mutuality of people in the camp led to a relaxed atmosphere. The article introduces the notion of ‘governed by atmospheres’ and argues that it opens space for a more complex and nuanced examination of the unintended outcomes of particular policies and politics in homelessness governance.
description: 本文通过强调情感氛围的作用，探讨了作为治理的一部分的无家可归者营地的运营。新冠疫情和封锁的实施见证了捷克各城市在无家可归者治理方面所采取的前所未有的措施。在城市宣布进入紧急状态后，作为应对措施，一些城市建立了临时的无家可归者营地。通过访谈和观察，本文揭示了城市中的此类措施在性质和结果上都存在显著差异。我们选取了两个紧急营地（一个在区域中心城市比尔森，另一个在首都布拉格）作为案例，对两个紧急营地的运营所面临的社会物质和情感方面的复杂情况进行了多次比较，在此基础上，本文认为情感氛围在他们的实际运营和感知结果中起着至关重要的作用。尽管不能简单地将两者一分为二，但在比尔森，秩序是通过煽动冲突并营造沮丧氛围的监视逻辑来实施的，而在布拉格，营地中人们的仁慈和互助营造了轻松的氛围。本文介绍了“用氛围来治理”的概念，并认为该概念开辟了更为广阔的空间，使人们能够对无家可归者治理中特定政策和政治的意外结果进行更复杂、更细致的审视。
The Contestable Markets Theory: Efficient Advice for Economic Policy

description: During the nineties of the last century, several formerly monopolistic markets (telecommunication, electricity, gas, and railway) have been deregulated in Germany based on European directives and theoretically inspired by the theory of contestable markets. The original contestable market theory implied three assumptions necessary to be satisfied to establish potential competition: Free market entry, market exit possible without any costs, and the price adjustment lag exceeding the entry is shows that if the incumbent reduces its prices slowly (high adjustment lag) and the market entry can be performed quickly (low entry lag), a new competitor will be able to earn back sunk costs. Therefore it is not necessary that all three conditions are complied with for potential competition to exist. Applying this 'revised' contestable market theory to the deregulated sectors in Germany sections, natural monopolies can be identified in telecommunication local loops and local/regional connection networks, in the national electricity grid and the regional/local electricity distribution networks, in the national and regional/local gas transmission/distribution sections, and in the railroad network only. These sections are not contestable due to sunk costs, high entry lags expected and a probable short price adjustment lag. They are identified as bottlenecks which should be regulated. The function of system operators in energy and railroad are closely related to the non contestable monopolistic networks.

description: Bisensorial is a prototype that was developed at Hack the Brain 2016 (www.hackthebrain.nl), a three-day hackathon in Amsterdam based on the theme of ‘hacking one’s self better (or worse)’. Eleven teams composed of 58 artists, scientists, and developers participated. Prizes were awarded based on the projects’ artistic value, scientific merit, and commercial potential. Bisensorial was exhibited at the Cognition Institute Conference 2016 at Plymouth University; this poster accompanied the exhibit. In Bisensorial, a genetic algorithm generated patterns of auditory stimuli and tactile stimuli down a user’s back, based on readings provided by an EEG headset. The result is intended to be a personalised soundscape and ‘touchscape’ that adjusts to the user to construct the most efficient bisensorial stimuli for inducing a desired mental state. In order to both structurally encourage skin contact and freedom of motion we produced a spine structure cast in prosthetic silicone that would provide a casing for the electronic components. This electronic spine is skin-like to touch and sculpturally mimics the anatomy of the vertebrae, giving the structure a visual reference regarding its function: as a sensorial device for the spinal column. The spine was integrated into a bespoke dress designed to maximise skin contact as well as provide torso support in order to relax the extensor muscles and make the tactile stimuli more perceptible.

description: The Majorana Demonstrator comprises two arrays of high-purity germanium detectors constructed to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in 76Ge and other physics beyond the Standard Model. Its readout electronics were designed to have low electronic noise, and radioactive backgrounds were minimized by using low-mass components and low-radioactivity materials near the detectors. This paper provides a description of all components of the Majorana Demonstrator readout electronics, spanning the front-end electronics and internal cabling, back-end electronics, digitizer, and power supplies, along with the grounding scheme. The spectroscopic performance achieved with these readout electronics is also demonstrated.

description: A single quantum particle can be described by a wavefunction that spreads over arbitrarily large distances, but it is never detected in two (or more) places. This strange phenomenon is explained in quantum theory by what Einstein repudiated as "spooky action at a distance": the instantaneous nonlocal collapse of the wavefunction to wherever the particle is detected. We demonstrate this single-particle spooky action, for the first time with no efficiency loophole, by splitting a single photon between two laboratories and experimentally testing if the choice of measurement in one lab really causes a change in the local quantum state in the other lab. To this end, we use homodyne measurements with six different measurement settings and quantitatively verify Einstein's spooky action by violating an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-steering inequality by $0.042 \pm 0.006$. Our experiment also verifies the entanglement of the split single photon even when one side is untrusted.

description: P-type point contact (PPC) HPGe detectors are a leading technology for rare event searches due to their excellent energy resolution, low thresholds, and multi-site event rejection capabilities. We have characterized a PPC detector’s response to α particles incident on the sensitive passivated and p+ surfaces, a previously poorly-understood source of background. The detector studied is identical to those in the MajoranaDemonstrator experiment, a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0 νββ) in 76Ge. α decays on most of the passivated surface exhibit significant energy loss due to charge trapping, with waveforms exhibiting a delayed charge recovery (DCR) signature caused by the slow collection of a fraction of the trapped charge. The DCR is found to be complementary to existing methods of α identification, reliably identifying α background events on the passivated surface of the detector. We demonstrate effective rejection of all surface α events (to within statistical uncertainty) with a loss of only 0.2% of bulk events by combining the DCR discriminator with previously-used methods. The DCR discriminator has been used to reduce the background rate in the 0 νββ region of interest window by an order of magnitude in the MajoranaDemonstrator and will be used in the upcoming LEGEND-200 experiment.

description: The objectives of this research were to determine the impacts of irrigated wheat breeding in reducing costs, Net Present Value (NPV), Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for Mehregan, Shush, Baharan and Narin bread wheat varieties, released in 2014. Replacement indices for Chamran, Shiroodi, Bahar, Morvarid, Zarrin varieties with international origin, and Pishtaz, Alvand, Pishgam varieties with national origins were also assessed. To estimate the profitability criteria’s and replacement index of varieties, Ex-ante & Ex-post methods and Weighted Average Age were used. The results revealed that the mean reduction costs of released four irrigated bread wheat varieties (Mehreghan, Shush, Baharan, Narin) equals 406.9 Iranian Rials. The mean of shift in supply function of these varieties is 4.67%. Total costs of research for three varietis (Mehregan, Shush, Baharan) with international origin, and Narin variety with national origin, were 96500 and 21500 million Iranian Rials, respectively. Moreover, NPV for Mehregan, Shush, Baharan and Narin were 266200, 211000, 469200 and 415200 million Iranian Rials, respectively. Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) for Mehregan, Shush, Baharan and Narin were 4.6, 1.5, 12.2 and 7.7, respectively. IRR for Mehregan, Shush, Baharan and Narin were 47.5%, 28.5%, 72.9% and 51.1%, respectively. The mean of weighted Average Age of irrigated bread wheat varieties over the period of 2004-2016, was 7.72 years. Based on the need and purchase scenarios, the average of replacement rate for Chamran were calculated as 3.8 and 6 years, respectively.

description: Some exact interactions between vibrational modes in systems with discrete symmetry can be described by the theory of the bushes of nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) [G.M. Chechin, V.P. Sakhnenko. Physica D 117, 43 (1998)]. Each bush represents a dynamical object conserving the energy of the initial excitation. Existence of bushes of NNMs is ensured by some group-theoretical selection rules. In [G.M. Chechin, et al. Int. J. Non-Linear Mech. 38, 1451 (2003)], existence and stability of the bushes of vibrational modes in the simple octahedral model of mass points interacting via Lennard-Jones potential were investigated. In the present paper, we study these dynamical objects by the density functional theory in SF6 molecule which possesses the same symmetry and structure. We have fully confirmed the results previously obtained in the framework of the group theoretical approach and have found some new properties of the bushes of NNMs.

description: ALPS II, the Any Light Particle Search, is a second-generation Light Shining through a Wall experiment that hunts for axion-like particles. The experiment is currently transitioning from the design and construction phase to the commissioning phase, with science runs expected to start in 2021. ALPS II plans to use two different sensing schemes to confirm the potential detection of axion-like particles or to verify an upper limit on their coupling strength to two photons of $g_{a\gamma\gamma}\leq2\times10^{-11}\text{GeV}^{-1}$. This paper discusses a heterodyne sensing scheme (HET) which will be the first scheme deployed to detect the regenerated light. It presents critical details of the optical layout, the length and alignment sensing scheme, design features to minimize spurious signals from stray light, as well as several control and veto channels specific to HET which are needed to commission and operate the instrument and to calibrate the detector sensitivity.

description: The majorana demonstrator is a neutrinoless double-β decay search consisting of a low-background modular array of high-purity germanium detectors, ∼2/3 of which are enriched to 88% in Ge76. The experiment is also searching for double-beta decay of Ge76 to excited states (e.s.) in Se76. Ge76 can decay into three daughter states of Se76, with clear event signatures consisting of a ββ-decay followed by the prompt emission of one or two γ rays. This results with high probability in multi-detector coincidences. The granularity of the demonstrator detector array enables powerful discrimination of this event signature from backgrounds. Using 41.9 kg yr of isotopic exposure, the demonstrator has set world leading limits for each e.s. decay of Ge76, with 90% CL lower half-life limits in the range of (0.75-4.0)×1024 yr. In particular, for the 2ν transition to the first 0+ e.s. of Se76, a lower half-life limit of 7.5×1023 yr at 90% CL was achieved.

description: We study the operator product expansions in the chiral algebra $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$, first using the associativity conditions in the basis of primary generating fields and second using a different basis coming from the free field representation in which the OPE takes a simpler quadratic form. The results in the quadratic basis can be compactly written using certain bilocal combinations of the generating fields and we conjecture a closed-form formula for the complete OPE in this basis. Next we show that the commutation relations as well as correlation functions can be easily computed using properties of these bilocal fields. In the last part of this paper we verify the consistency with results derived previously by studying minimal models of $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$ and comparing them to known reductions of $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$ to $\mathcal{W}_N$. The results we obtain illustrate nicely the role of triality symmetry in the representation theory of $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$.

The estimation of elasticities of import and export demand functions has always been used in international economics to determine the causes of trade deficits and to explain the past as well as, to forecast the future. Despite the published research on the analysis of import meat demand for several counties, there is just one work concerning the analysis of Greek import meat demand. However, the results of this work are not differentiated by supply source. In order to alleviate this shortcoming, this paper analyzes the Greek meat import demand differentiated by source. The model explains more than 86% of data variation. The empirical results indicate that due to inelastic demand, German beef exporters could gain market share in the Greek market through competitive prices. The expenditure elasticities for beef imported from France and Germany reflects the strong long-running preferences of Greek market from these countries in terms of beef. Also, expenditure elasticities reveal that pork imports from Germany have the most to gain from an increase in meat import expenditure followed by Italian and Dutch poultry meat and French pork meat. Hence, a Greek exit from the financial crisis which most probably will lead to an expansion in meat market is favorable for above mentioned meats and counties. Moreover, the results indicate that in the pork market, France has a competitive advantage compared with the rest of the pork suppliers (Germany, Netherlands and ROW). Finally, poultry from Italy has a competitive advantage compared with the poultry from the Netherlands. The estimates of cross-price elasticities indicate asymmetric substitutability relationships between beef from France and various countries (ROW) and as regarding the lamp sector complementarity relationships between Bulgaria and New Zealand. Also, the competition is strong between France and Germany in the pork sector and between France and Others Counties (ROW) in the poultry sector. Finally, seasonality is found to have a significant effect in determining Greek meat imports.

description: In the last decade, using single epoch (SE) virial based spectroscopic optical observations, it has been possible to measure the black hole (BH) mass on large type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) samples. However this kind of measurements can not be applied on those obscured type 2 and/or low luminosity AGN where the nuclear component does not dominate in the optical. We have derived new SE relationships, based on the FWHM and luminosity of the broad line region component of the Pabeta emission line and/or the hard X-ray luminosity in the 14-195 keV band, which have the prospect of better working with low luminosity or obscured AGN. The SE relationships have been calibrated in the 10^5-10^9 M_sol mass range, using a sample of AGN whose BH masses have been previously measured using reverberation mapping techniques. Our tightest relationship between the reverberation-based BH mass and the SE virial product has an intrinsic spread of 0.20 dex. Thanks to these SE relations, in agreement with previous estimates, we have measured a BH mass of M_BH =1.7^+1.3_-0.7 X 10^5 M_sol for the low luminosity, type 1, AGN NGC 4395 (one of the smallest active galactic BH known). We also measured, for the first time, a BH mass of M_BH = 1.5^+1.1_-0.6 X 10^7 M_sol for the Seyfert 2 galaxy MCG -01-24-012.

description: We reveal the relations between the conditional normalized maximum likelihood (CNML) distributions and Bayesian predictive densities based on the latent information priors (LIPs). In particular, CNML3, which is one type of CNML distributions, is investigated. The Bayes projection of a predictive density, which is an information projection of the predictive density on a set of Bayesian predictive densities, is considered. We prove that the sum of the Bayes projection divergence of CNML3 and the conditional mutual information is asymptotically constant. This result implies that the Bayes projection of CNML3 (BPCNML3) is asymptotically identical to the Bayesian predictive density based on LIP. In addition, under some stronger assumptions, we show that BPCNML3 exactly coincides with the Bayesian predictive density based on LIP.

description: The Any Light Particle Search II (ALPS II) is an experiment currently being built at DESYin Hamburg, Germany, that will use a light-shining-through-a-wall (LSW) approach to searchfor axion-like particles. ALPS II represents a significant step forward for these types of experi-ments as it will use 24 superconducting dipole magnets, along with dual high-finesse, 122 m longoptical cavities. This paper gives the first comprehensive recipe for the realization of the idea,proposed over 30 years ago, to use optical cavities before and after the wall to increase the powerof the regenerated photon signal. This concept will allow the experiment to achieve a sensitivityto the coupling between axion-like particles and photons down to g$_{αγγ}$ = 2 × 10$^{−11}$ GeV$^{−1}$ formasses below 0.1 meV, more than three orders of magnitude beyond the sensitivity of previouslaboratory experiments. The layout and main components that define ALPS II are discussedalong with plans for reaching design sensitivity. A set of top level requirements for the sub-systems is also provided for the first time and includes the requirements on the coherence andspatial mode matching of the cavity eigenmodes. An accompanying paper (Hallal, et al [1]) of-fers a more in-depth description of the heterodyne detection scheme, the first of two independentdetection systems that will be implemented in ALPS II.

description: This work investigates the strength and the pattern of co-movement between the futures price of the Arabica coffee (traded in New York) and the futures price of the Robusta coffee (traded in London) and obtains forecasts for the Value-at-Risk (VaR) for a commercial trader. The empirical analysis relies of the statistical tool of copulas and on daily observations from 2006 to 2016. According to the empirical results, co-movement is symmetric with respect to sign but is asymmetric with respect to size. The Value-at-Risk ranges from -7 percent to -3 percent, depending on the level of confidence employed.

description: In this paper, we conduct a pan-European efficiency analysis to investigate the performance of European railways with a particular focus on economies of vertical integration. We test the hypothesis that integrated railways realize economies of scope and, thus, produce railway services with a higher level of efficiency. To determine whether joint or separate production is more efficient, we apply a Data Envelopment Analysis super-efficiency bootstrapping model which relates the efficiency for integrated production to a reference set consisting of separated firms which use a different production technology. We find that for a majority of European railways economies of scope exist.

description: We investigate the potential of multivariate techniques to improve the LHC search for invisible Higgs decays in weak boson fusion. We find that in the coming runs the LHC will be able to probe an invisible Higgs width of 28% within a year and 3.5% during a high luminosity run. A significant improvement over these estimates requires an analysis of QCD radiation patterns down to 10 GeV. Such an analysis can improve the reach at the high luminosity run to 2%. Throughout our analysis we employ a conservative, data driven background determination.

description: This paper contributes in the discussion about the trade-offs between fair working conditions and the competitiveness of local agricultural products. We use the Choice Experiment methodology to capture the determinants of individual well-being and behavior by asking consumers to choose between alternative states of the world that vary attributes relevant to a fair labour certification scheme such as inflation of food prices, income of farm labourers, percentage of food imports and unemployment rate. This allows us to estimate how consumers’ wellbeing differs with different levels of farm labourers income given all other trade-offs that consumers might face with the introduction of stricter policies regarding farm labour. The results confirm the interest of Greek consumers towards fair working conditions in agriculture since, holding other parameters constant, choice probabilities are responsive to changes in the level of daily wages.

description: Das digitale Spiel "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" bietet mit seinen Erweiterungen "Hearts of Stone" und "Blood and Wine" eine riesige digitale Welt voller komplexer Handlungsmuster, Charaktere und Orte. Gestützt auf die Lesart von Mendonça und Freitas versteht die vorliegende Arbeit das digitale Spiel als Text. In einem close reading werden in das Spiel integrierte Motive und Genrekonventionen anhand exemplarischer Beispiele herausgearbeitet. Durch die Analyse von referenziellen Versatzstücken wird der Frage nachgegangen, wo sich in "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" kulturelle Konventionen und Innovationen finden und inwiefern mit gewohnten Mustern gespielt wird. Durch die Entschlüsselung von Codes wird beobachtet, wo durch dieses Spiel mit den Konventionen mit Erwartungen der Spieler gebrochen wird, um so neue Bedeutung zu generieren. Den Landschaften und Bewohnern kommt eine genaue Untersuchung zu, wobei der Fokus dank Aussagen der Entwickler auf den Konstrukten der "Polishness" und "Slavicness" liegt. Betrachtet werden Easter Eggs als intertextuelle Zitatebenen sowie die als polnisch behaupteten Landschaften, die Verhandlung des Fremden, die Konstruktion "slawischer" Monster/Antagonisten und die Darstellung weiblicher Charaktere. Obwohl in einigen dieser Konzepte Widersprüchlichkeiten festgestellt werden, finden sich in ihnen auch Ansätze zur Innovation, die auf neue Muster in der Entwicklung zukünftiger digitaler Spiele hoffen lassen. Somit lohnt es, als "polnisch" behauptete Landschaften, die nicht identitätsstiftenden wirken sollen, angeblich "slawische" Monster und Antagonisten, die sich als transkulturelle Hybride entpuppen, und Frauen, deren Stärke durch ihre Sexualisierung untergraben wird, näher zu betrachten.

description: The Majorana Demonstrator is an ultra-low-background experiment searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay in Ge76. The heavily shielded array of germanium detectors, placed nearly a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, also allows searches for new exotic physics. We present the first limits for trinucleon decay-specific modes and invisible decay modes for Ge isotopes. We find a half-life limit of 4.9×1025 yr for the decay Ge76(ppn)→Zn73 e+π+ and 4.7×1025 yr for the decay Ge76(ppp)→Cu73 e+π+π+. The half-life limit for the invisible triproton decay mode of Ge76 was found to be 7.5×1024 yr.

description: This paper aims to analyse pear consumption in the main client countries of the major global exporting countries. Among the factors considered to explain the pear consumption we find the price of the pear and of substitute or complementary goods, including apples and stone fruit, the consumption per capita of these goods, the real income of consumers, the general price index of the goods, the technology and the USD real exchange rate against the currencies of each of the countries considered. It has been used the panel data methodology with a sample made up of statistical data on the 17 main players in the global market from 1990 to 2012. Findings show that the results – the coefficients and their signs - are in line with the economic theory.

description: In this work we investigate the physical nature and generation mechanism of very monochromatic Pc4 pulsations with using data of ERG (Exploration of energization and Radiation in Geospace) satellite. Such type of the pulsations is exited during very low geomagnetic activity; these pulsations do not seen on the ground magnetometers due to damping in the ionosphere. The question about the generation mechanism of these pulsations is still open. For the event 4 May 2017 according to the ERG satellite data the wave packet of Pc4 pulsations was registered after midnight at 08-10 UT. The pulsations are mostly seen in radial component and also in azimuthal component of the magnetic field; its frequency is about 13 mHz. On GOES-13 satellite located on higher L-shell than ERG satellite the frequency of these pulsations is about 11.5 mHz. This property (decrease of the frequency of geomagnetic pulsations with the increase of L-shell) testifies about the resonance nature of the pulsations. During appearance of the Pc4 pulsations on ERG satellite the injection of electrons (mostly seen in 10-80 keV energetic cannels) are registered. This injection coincides with the small increase of AE index up 200 nT. So,this injection is caused by the small substorm. Thus,itis found the experimental evidence that injection of electron cloud into the morning sector can be reason of the excitation of monochromatic Pc4 geomagnetic pulsations. There are some theories which can explain this mechanism.

description: Distributed visual analysis applications, such as mobile visual search or Visual Sensor Networks (VSNs) require the transmission of visual content on a bandwidth-limited network, from a peripheral node to a processing unit. Traditionally, a Compress-Then-Analyze approach has been pursued, in which sensing nodes acquire and encode the pixel-level representation of the visual content, that is subsequently transmitted to a sink node in order to be processed. This approach might not represent the most effective solution, since several analysis applications leverage a compact representation of the content, thus resulting in an inefficient usage of network resources. Furthermore, coding artifacts might significantly impact the accuracy of the visual task at hand. To tackle such limitations, an orthogonal approach named Analyze-Then-Compress has been proposed. According to such a paradigm, sensing nodes are responsible for the extraction of visual features, that are encoded and transmitted to a sink node for further processing. In spite of improved task efficiency, such paradigm implies the central processing node not being able to reconstruct a pixel-level representation of the visual content. In this paper we propose an effective compromise between the two paradigms, namely Hybrid-Analyze-Then-Compress (HATC) that aims at jointly encoding visual content and local image features. Furthermore, we show how a target tradeoff between image quality and task accuracy might be achieved by accurately allocating the bitrate to either visual content or local features.
