description: We present a systematic analytical approach to the trapping of a random walk by a finite density rho of diffusing traps in arbitrary dimension d. We confirm the phenomenologically predicted e^{-c_d rho t^{d/2}} time decay of the survival probability, and compute the dimension dependent constant c_d to leading order within an eps=2-d expansion.

description: In order to study the county scale land use structure during the rapid urbanization and more accurately grasp the dynamic process of land use and cover change, we combine GIS technology with CLUE-S model to research the spatial pattern change of land use in Yongchuan District of Chongqing City. The results show that the forest and farmland were main land use types going through changes in Yongchuan District during 2000—2010, accounting for more than 90% of the total area in each year; during 2000—2010, the urban area was significantly increased, an increase of 16.11%, and the urban area during 2005—2010 was changed more dramatically than during 2000—2005; forest area was slightly increased and farmland area was reduced by 1660 hm2 in 10 years. We set three scenarios on land use change in Yongchuan District for simulation and compare the predicted results. It can be concluded that driven by rapid urbanization, the change in land use landscape pattern in Yongchuan District is mainly focused on forest and farmland, the urban area is substantially increased, and the forest area also shows an increasing trend while the farmland area is reduced accordingly. Under ecological protection scenarios, the land use type having a protective effect on the ecological environment achieves better control effect.

description: Biomarker identification is critical for precise disease diagnosis and understanding disease pathogenesis in omics data analysis, like using fold change and regression analysis. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been the dominant deep learning model for analyzing graph-structured data. However, we found two major limitations of existing GNNs in omics data analysis, i.e., limited-prediction (diagnosis) accuracy and limited-reproducible biomarker identification capacity across multiple datasets. The root of the challenges is the unique graph structure of biological signaling pathways, which consists of a large number of targets and intensive and complex signaling interactions among these targets. To resolve these two challenges, in this study, we presented a novel GNN model architecture, named PathFormer, which systematically integrate signaling network, priori knowledge and omics data to rank biomarkers and predict disease diagnosis. In the comparison results, PathFormer outperformed existing GNN models significantly in terms of highly accurate prediction capability ( 30% accuracy improvement in disease diagnosis compared with existing GNN models) and high reproducibility of biomarker ranking across different datasets. The improvement was confirmed using two independent Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and cancer transcriptomic datasets. The PathFormer model can be directly applied to other omics data analysis studies.

description: Hypseleotris compressa (Krefft)
Empire Gudgeon
 In contrast to many other regions of northern Australia, within the range of the species, Hypseleotris compressa is uncommon within Kimberley rivers. It has only been recorded from the Prince Regent River (below King Cascade), from near the mouth of the Lawley and King Edward/Carson Rivers and from the lower Ord River (Fig. 41). Thus, the species does not penetrate into fresh waters of any of the Kimberley reaches far beyond the tidal limit, a situation similar to that in the Pilbara portion of its range (Morgan & Gill 2004).

The theory predicts a temperature dependence of the $d$-density wave order parameter seemingly inconsistent with the neutron scattering and $μ$SR experiments of the cuprates. We further calculate thermodynamic quantities, such as chemical potential, entropy and specific heat. Their distinct features can be used to test the existence of the $d$-density wave order in cuprates.

description: To survey and analyze soil nutrients of sugarcane field in southern Guangxi and provide basic data for reasonable land use and scientific fertilization, combining GIS technology, a total of 498 samples of topsoil of typical soil types in southern Guangxi sugarcane planting areas were collected and soil nutrients were measured. Survey results indicate that the pH value of 95% soil in southern Guangxi is lower than 6.5; acid soil is major soil type of sugarcane planting areas in southern Guangxi; the organic matter content is 6.03-44.58 g/kg; alkali-hydrolyzable N is 14.0-175.0 mg/kg; available P is 1.7-95.0 mg/kg; available K is 11.0-358.0 mg/kg; the content of most nutrients remains at medium level, and there is still a large gap with high-yield soil condition. In various trace elements, the average content of B is 0.24 mg/kg, 98% soil lacks B; the average content of available Mg is 62.34 mg/kg and 69.08% soil lacks Mg; the average content of active Ca is 592.68 mg/kg and the active Ca is relatively low in 54.84% soil; the average content of available Zn is 0.93 mg/kg, and 19.08% soil lacks Zn; the average content of available Cu is 0.65 mg/kg, and 7.02% soil lacks Cu. It is concluded that the overall soil fertility of sugarcane planting areas in southern Guangxi is not high, the organic matter is relatively low, the content of rapidly available N, P and K is at medium or low level, the content of Fe and Mn is high, and the available Cu and available Zn of most soil remain at medium level.

description: A recurring problem in software development is incorrect decision making on the techniques, methods and tools to be used. Mostly, these decisions are based on developers' perceptions about them. A factor influencing people's perceptions is past experience, but it is not the only one. In this research, we aim to discover how well the perceptions of the defect detection effectiveness of different techniques match their real effectiveness in the absence of prior experience. To do this, we conduct an empirical study plus a replication. During the original study, we conduct a controlled experiment with students applying two testing techniques and a code review technique. At the end of the experiment, they take a survey to find out which technique they perceive to be most effective. The results show that participants' perceptions are wrong and that this mismatch is costly in terms of quality. In order to gain further insight into the results, we replicate the controlled experiment and extend the survey to include questions about participants' opinions on the techniques and programs. The results of the replicated study confirm the findings of the original study and suggest that participants' perceptions might be based not on their opinions about complexity or preferences for techniques but on how well they think that they have applied the techniques.

description: Identifying correspondences in noisy data is a critically important step in estimation processes. When an informative initial estimation guess is available, the data association challenge is less acute; however, the existence of a high-quality initial guess is rare in most contexts. We explore graph-theoretic formulations for data association, which do not require an initial estimation guess. Existing graph-theoretic approaches optimize over unweighted graphs, discarding important consistency information encoded in weighted edges, and frequently attempt to solve NP-hard problems exactly. In contrast, we formulate a new optimization problem that fully leverages weighted graphs and seeks the densest edge-weighted clique. We introduce two relaxations to this problem: a convex semidefinite relaxation which we find to be empirically tight, and a fast first-order algorithm called CLIPPER which frequently arrives at nearly-optimal solutions in milliseconds. When evaluated on point cloud registration problems, our algorithms remain robust up to at least 95% outliers while existing algorithms begin breaking down at 80% outliers.

description: Reservoir computing is a recurrent machine learning framework that expands the dimensionality of a problem by mapping an input signal into a higher-dimension reservoir space that can capture and predict features of complex, non-linear temporal dynamics. Here, we report on a bulk optical demonstration of an analog reservoir computer using speckles generated by propagating a laser beam modulated with a spatial light modulator through a multimode waveguide. We demonstrate that the hardware can successfully perform a multivariate audio classification task performed using the Japanese vowel speakers public data set. We perform full wave optical calculations of this architecture implemented in a chip-scale platform using an SiO2 waveguide and demonstrate that it performs as well as a fully numerical implementation of reservoir computing. As all the optical components used in the experiment can be fabricated using a commercial photonic integrated circuit foundry, our result demonstrates a framework for building a scalable, chip-scale, reservoir computer capable of performing optical signal processing.

description: Results of spectroscopic studies at ambient and high pressures of a LuAlO3:Ce3+ (LuAP:Ce) single crystalline film (SCF) as well as LuAP:Ce and YAlO3:Ce (YAP:Ce) single crystals are reported. Room temperature absorption measurements of the single crystals in the vacuum UV region allowed establishing the bandgap energies of 7.63 eV for YAP and 7.86 eV for LuAP, with an assumption of the direct band-gaps. Luminescence of Ce3+ in LuAP and YAP bulk crystals was measured as a function of temperature from 6 K up to 873 K. Temperature quenching of the Ce3+ luminescence in YAP:Ce was observed above 650 K, which is related to the location of the lowest Ce3+ 5d level at 1.27 eV below the conduction band minimum. No temperature quenching occurred in LuAP:Ce up to 873 K, mostly due to the lower energy of the 4f levels with respect to the valence band maximum. The barycenter energies and splittings of Ce3+ 5d states in YAP and LuAP at room temperature were precisely established. Theoretical calculations of the Ce3+ 5d states energy structure under pressure revealed a discrepancy between the obtained experimental results and the prediction of Dorenbos' theoretical model. The discrepancy can be removed if instead of the 5d state of the free Ce3+ ion the bandgap of the compound is taken as reference energy for the red shift of the 5d level. This hypothesis also allows us to take into account the pressure-induced increase of the bandgap energy, expected for the studied compounds. Pressure dependences of LuAP:Ce luminescence spectra suggest that a certain type of phase transition occurs above 15 GPa.

description: Elastic properties play an important role in neutron stars and white dwarfs. They are crucial for modeling stellar oscillations and different processes in magnetars and in degenerate stars which enter compact binary systems. Using electrostatic energy of deformed lattices, we calculate elastic moduli of ordered binary body-centered cubic (sc2) and face-centered cubic (fc2) lattices. We use two methods to determine the effective shear modulus $μ_{\rm eff}$. We show that $μ_{\rm eff}$ calculated as a Voigt average agrees with the results obtained from the linear mixing rule. For the sc2 lattice, our calculations are also consistent with the results of numerical simulations of disordered binary body-centered cubic lattice.

 Until the discovery of Hypseleotris ejuncida at two sites in the Carson River by Morgan et al. (2006), the species was only known from two sites in the Prince Regent River (Fig. 42). The 21 individuals captured in the Carson River are an important range extension for the species. The habitat in the Carson River is typically under Pandanus roots and fallen leaves (Morgan et al. 2006).

description: Implicit 3D surface reconstruction of an object from its partial and noisy 3D point cloud scan is the classical geometry processing and 3D computer vision problem. In the literature, various 3D shape representations have been developed, differing in memory efficiency and shape retrieval effectiveness, such as volumetric, parametric, and implicit surfaces. Radial basis functions provide memory-efficient parameterization of the implicit surface. However, we show that training a neural network using the mean squared error between the ground-truth implicit surface and the linear basis-based implicit surfaces does not converge to the global solution. In this work, we propose locally supported compact radial basis functions for a linear representation of the implicit surface. This representation enables us to generate 3D shapes with arbitrary topologies at any resolution due to their continuous nature. We then propose a neural network architecture for learning the linear implicit shape representation of the 3D surface of an object. We learn linear implicit shapes within a supervised learning framework using ground truth Signed-Distance Field (SDF) data for guidance. The classical strategies face difficulties in finding linear implicit shapes from a given 3D point cloud due to numerical issues (requires solving inverse of a large matrix) in basis and query point selection. The proposed approach achieves better Chamfer distance and comparable F-score than the state-of-the-art approach on the benchmark dataset. We also show the effectiveness of the proposed approach by using it for the 3D shape completion task.

description: We develop a model of trade with imperfect competition to study the welfare implications in developing and developed countries of the asymmetry in attitudes towards foreign products. In the developed country, consumers benefit from a better perception of foreign products while the rental rate of capital declines as long as the location of capital remains unchanged. However, when capital is mobile, the developing country hosts more and more capital at the expense of the developed country as perception of varieties produced in the developed country improves and the surplus of consumers in the developed country can decrease.

description: We present an ab initio approach for the calculation of phonon self-energies and their fluctuation diagnostics, which allows us to identify the electronic processes behind phonon anomalies. Application to the transition-metal-dichalcogenide monolayer 1H-TaS$_2$ reveals that coupling between the longitudinal-acoustic phonons and the electrons from an isolated low-energy metallic band is entirely responsible for phonon anomalies such as the mode softening and associated charge-density waves observed in this material. Our analysis allows us to distinguish between different mode-softening mechanisms including matrix-element effects, Fermi-surface nesting, and Van Hove scenarios. We find that matrix-element effects originating from a peculiar type of Dirac pseudospin textures control the charge-density-wave physics in 1H-TaS$_2$ and similar transition metal dichalcogenides.

description: The key difficulty to develop efficient high-order methods for integrating stochastic differential equations lies in the calculations of the multiple stochastic integrals. This letter suggests a scheme to compute the stochastic integrals for the colored noises based on the white noise representation. The multiple stochastic integrals involving one and two stationary noises can be conveniently generated together with noises using the discrete Fourier transformation. Based on the calculated stochastic integrals, we obtain simple fourth-order and third-order strong methods for equations with a single and multiple noises, respectively. Numerical tests verify the accuracy of the suggested methods.

description: This study takes a production function approach to examine the effects of farm wetland area for a set of producers in the Limousin region of France. By combining data from a recent survey of regional wetland areas with detailed farm-level production panel data, we find that maintaining wetland areas poses significant costs to farmers, in terms of foregone production value. These results help to explain the relatively low participation rate in agri-environmental schemes targeted to wetlands by farmers in this region. This represents a new application of the production function approach to estimate the cost of maintaining wetlands on working agricultural land, and is one of few studies to examine agricultural wetland costs outside of the US. This framework could be used to further inform payment incentives for agri-environmental schemes more generally.

Hypothyroidism could be regarded as inflammatory conditionand Systemic inflammation was emerged as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. To study the association of serum levels offetuin-A with TSH, FT4, T4, T3 and hsCRP as an inflammatory marker 46 patients aged ³ 30 years were consecutively selectedafter have been diagnosed as hypothyroidism. Healthy (N = 42), age and sex-matched subjects as controls. Clinical characteristicswere recorded and serum levels of lipid profile, fetuin-A, TSH, FT4, T4, T3 and hsCRP were measured. Fetuin-A was significantlydecreased in hypothyroid individuals while, hsCRP, LDL-c and atherogenic index were significantly higher in the same groupcompared with control. No significant correlations were observed for Fetuin-A or hsCRP with thyroid function test and classicallipid profile measure. However, atherogenic index showed highly significant correlations with TSH. The results of our studyshowed that all aspects of increasing risk factors of cardiovascular disease were observed in newly diagnosed Iraqi women withhypothyroidism represented by; increase systemic inflammation, disarranged lipid profile and an increasing vascular calcificationrisk

description: We present deep total intensity and polarization observations of the Coma cluster at 1.4 and 6.6 GHz performed with the Sardinia Radio Telescope. By combining the single-dish 1.4 GHz data with archival Very Large Array observations we obtain new images of the central radio halo and of the peripheral radio relic where we properly recover the brightness from the large scale structures. At 6.6 GHz we detect both the relic and the central part of the halo in total intensity and polarization. These are the highest frequency images available to date for these radio sources in this galaxy cluster. In the halo, we find a localized spot of polarized signal, with fractional polarization of about 45%. The polarized emission possibly extends along the north-east side of the diffuse emission. The relic is highly polarized, up to 55%, as usually found for these sources. We confirm the halo spectrum is curved, in agreement with previous single-dish results. The spectral index is alpha=1.48 +/- 0.07 at a reference frequency of 1 GHz and varies from alpha ~1.1, at 0.1 GHz, up to alpha ~ 1.8, at 10 GHz. We compare the Coma radio halo surface brightness profile at 1.4 GHz (central brightness and e-folding radius) with the same properties of the other halos, and we find that it has one of the lowest emissivities observed so far. Reanalyzing the relic's spectrum in the light of the new data, we obtain a refined radio Mach number of M=2.9 +/- 0.1.

description: We investigated the possibility that nonlinear gravitational effects influence the preheating era after inflation, using numerical solutions of the inhomogeneous Einstein field equations. We compared our results to perturbative calculations and to solutions of the nonlinear field equations in a rigid (unperturbed) spacetime, in order to isolate gravitational phenomena. We confirm the broad picture of preheating obtained from the nonlinear field equations in a rigid background, but find gravitational effects have a measurable impact on the dynamics. The longest modes in the simulation grow much more rapidly in the relativistic calculation than with a rigid background. We used the Weyl tensor to quantify the departure from homogeneity in the universe. We saw no evidence for the sort of gravitational collapse that leads to the formation of primordial black holes.

description: We study algebraic points of bounded degree on polarized projective varieties. To do so, we refine further the filtration construction and Subspace Theorem approach, for the study of integral points, which has origins in the work of Corvaja-Zannier, Levin, Evertse and Autissier. Our main result shows how a conjecture of H.~P.~Schlickewei implies Second Main Arithmetic Schmidt's Subspace type inequalities for polarized projective varieties and points of bounded degree.

subject: Tourism destination

description: The aim of the paper is to specify the items that effect the importance of organic tourism both for human life and sustainable tourism destinations. The fundamental point of the study is to focus on organic farming both as a tool for welfare of the destinations and their importance and potential for the upcoming future of healthy generations using the data collected from segments of the society such as administrators, non-governmental organization members and farmers. The study is also based on an extensive secondary research analyzing the diverse iterature regarding the organic/ecological/sustainable/destination tourism. The results are supplemented by semi- tructured interviews. To date, many people have been interested in visiting villages and having an experience in living farms. This tourism activity is combined with facilities to create potent economic force to small villages. Besides, consuming organic food is one of the most important attitudes to live healthier and longer by being or working in the farms or villages as a visitor which creates a new era in tourism named as organic tourism. Organic tourism primarily targets tourists, tours organized for the purpose of health, relaxation activities, agriculture ducation, culture and gastronomy. The research offers a practical help for farmers, local governors, local people (especially villagers), tour operators and visitors fleeing from the intensity of city life in the light of the findings.

 Based on present knowledge, Kimberleyeleotris hutchinsi, along with K. notata, is the most restricted freshwater fish species in the Kimberley, and is known only from the Mitchell River system immediately upstream of Mitchell Falls and downstream of Mertens Falls (Fig. 45) where the species was first collected by Hutchins (1981). It was also collected above Mitchell Falls by Allen and Allen (1998) where it was encountered on rocks adjacent to small cascades and rapids.

description: Thermal and medical tourism in Hungary are characterised by a continuous development. The management, efficiency, operational effectiveness and offer of enterprises in the field of tourism influence the competitiveness of Hungary’s tourism. In the present day economic life the thorough analysis of the enterprises’ economy is indispensable. The result of the analytical methods applied by the report provide information for different stakeholders (owners, transporters, customers, employees, habilitators). The aim is to have data which inform us about the functioning, financial situation and profitability of the economic entities parallel with the factors and conditions determining these elements. In our paper we present the financial situation of the Demjén Thermal Spa Ltd., being one of the newest thermal spas of Hungary.
Adiabatic invariance with first integrals of motion

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The construction of a microthermodynamic formalism for isolated systems based on the concept of adiabatic invariance is an old but seldom appreciated effort in the literature, dating back at least to P. Hertz [Ann. Phys. (Leipzig) 33, 225 (1910)]. An apparently independent extension of such formalism for systems bearing additional first integrals of motion was recently proposed by Hans H. Rugh [Phys. Rev. E 64, 055101 (2001)], establishing the concept of adiabatic invariance even in such singular cases. After some remarks in connection with the formalism pioneered by Hertz, it will be suggested that such an extension can incidentally explain the success of a dynamical method for computing the entropy of classical interacting fluids, at least in some potential applications where the presence of additional first integrals cannot be ignored.

description: We show that local weak solutions to parabolic systems of p-Laplace type are H{ö}lder continuous in time with values in a spatial Lebesgue space and H{ö}lder continuous on almost every time line. We provide an elementary and self-contained proof building on the local higher integrability result of Kinnunen and Lewis.

description: We provide an analytic way to implement any arbitrary two-qubit unitary operation, given an entangling two-qubit gate together with local gates. This is shown to provide explicit construction of a universal quantum circuit that exactly simulates arbitrary two-qubit operations in SU(4). Each block in this circuit is given in a closed form solution. We also provide a uniform upper bound of the applications of the given entangling gates, and find that exactly half of all the Controlled-Unitary gates satisfy the same upper bound as the CNOT gate. These results allow for the efficient implementation of operations in SU(4) required for both quantum computation and quantum simulation.

 Kimberleyeleotris notata is known only from two specimens collected at a single site in the Drysdale River by Hutchins (1977) (Fig. 46). Thus, it is potentially the most restricted and rarest species of freshwater fish in the Kimberley, if not Australia.

description: This primary research examines the introduction of an innovative health promotion service into the market. Given the assumption that healthcare costs should be part of one’s budget, the survey reveals two trends: 1. Health concerns are more observed by consumers having higher social statuses, this means that they are ready to pay money for health preservative services; 2. Health turns into a precious value when we are running short of it. This assumption is well asserted by the finding of the survey that it is those suffering from chronic diseases that would be ready to pay the highest of all sums to buy the service.

description: The gauge theory of spin glasses and statistical-mechanical formulation of error-correcting codes are reviewed with an emphasis on their similarities. For the gauge theory, we explain the functional identities on dynamical autocorrelation functions and on the distribution functions of order parameters. These functional identities restrict the possibilities of slow dynamics and complex structure of the phase space. An inequality for error-correcting codes is shown to be interpreted to indicate non-monotonicity of spin orientation as a function of the temperature in spin glasses.

description: Promoting sports and sport tourism is considered as a strategic development objective at the local, regional and national levels in Hungary. However, sport tourism is present in many different forms, depending on the type of sport activity, the related sport events and its participants, therefore it is challenging to decide on the type of sports and sports events that should be supported to ensure long-term social and economic benefits for a local community. The scale of sports events ranges from the small, local competitions to the international mega sports events. Although the economic benefits of mega sports events are generally appreciated, there has been growing critique about their negative social and environmental impacts. Smallscale sports events also have important potential for tourism, and they may have more advantages for the local community than the mega events by providing additional incomes, using the already existing infrastructure, raising local pride and community spirit. Sport tourism related to small-scale events is generally considered to be a more sustainable form of tourism. The purpose of this paper is to examine the tourism development potential of small-scale sports events, particularly focusing on fencing competitions. It highlights the demand side of the sport tourism market, investigating the behavioral profile of the participants of an international fencing tournament. A questionnaire survey was conducted at the Budapest WestEnd Women’s Epee Grand Prix 2014. The data revealed that participants of the sporting event spend only a short period of time at the destination, and shopping and eating out are the most preferred free time activities. The paper identifies and discusses issues regarding the role of sports organizations and tourism agencies in cities hosting such events to increase the tourism potential of small-scale sports events in the future.
