description: Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are believed to be non-recurrent bright X-ray sources lasting less than a day and occuring at serendipitous positions, they can best detected and discovered by instruments having a sufficiently wide field of view and high sensitivity. The IBIS/ISGRI instrument onboard INTEGRAL is particularly suited to detect new or already known fast X-ray transient sources. We report on IBIS/ISGRI detection of newly discovered outbursts of three fast transient sources located at low Galactic latitude: SAX J1818.6-1703; IGR J16479-4514; IGR J17391-302/XTE J1739-302. The reported results confirm and strengthen the very fast transient nature of these sources, given that all their newly detected outbursts have a duration less than about 3 hours. Additionally, they provide the first evidence for a possible recurrent fast transient behaviour as all three sources were detected in outburst by ISGRI more than once during the last 2 years.

description: This report reassesses the causal link between domestic agricultural policies and world price instability, using the case of the rice market. Specifically, the report develops a framework for analyzing the effects of domestic policies on international price stability, identifies the conditions required for government policies to destabilize world markets and econometrically examines whether these conditions apply to the trade behavior of seven major rice trading countries over the period 1960-87. This is done by comparing the estimated transmission and absorption effects with those implied under free trade, by incorporating several behavioral restrictions drawn from standard trade theory. Sensitivity analysis is then used to discern how robust the results are to changes in domestic and international price elasticities. The report also identifies major structural and behavioral factors that account for the great degree of price instability in world rice markets relative to other major grain markets, and examines the dynamic effects of these factors on the organization and performance of international rice trade. The analysis indicates that while stabilization policies in some countries have exacerbated world price instability, this was not usually the case. Thus, the link between domestic price stability and world price instability appears, in the case of the rice market, to be exaggerated. Therefore, contrary to conventional wisdom on the subject, movements toward free trade may not contribute greatly toward stability in world rice trade. If domestic agricultural policies have been overemphasized as sources of instability in world rice trade, an explanation is still required for the high degree of volatility in this market. The major factors include: (1) the geographic concentration of world rice production in an area of unstable weather; (2) a persistently thin and fragmented market where price information is difficult to obtain, and where the development of coordination mechanisms to reduce trade uncertainties are thwarted by major traders' tendency to sporadically float in and out of the market; (3) very low consumption responsiveness to domestic prices in the countries examined, which means that the ability of domestic demand to absorb world price instability, even under free trade, is limited; (4) the emerging relationship between the world rice and petroleum markets; and (5) low world stockholdings relative to production, and the absence of a major actor that stabilizes world rice prices through stock and trade policies, as in the wheat and corn markets.

description: Certain peculiar features of Einstein-Hilbert (EH) action provide clues towards a holographic approach to gravity which is independent of the detailed microstructure of spacetime. These features of the EH action include: (a) the existence of second derivatives of dynamical variables; (b) a non trivial relation between the surface term and the bulk term; (c) the fact that surface term is non analytic in the coupling constant, when gravity is treated as a spin-2 perturbation around flat spacetime and (d) the form of the variation of the surface term under infinitesimal coordinate transformations. The surface term can be derived directly from very general considerations and using (d) one can obtain Einstein's equations {\it just from the surface term of the action}. Further one can relate the bulk term to the surface term and derive the full EH action based on purely thermodynamic considerations. The features (a), (b) and (c) above emerge in a natural fashion in this approach. It is shown that action $A_{grav}$ splits into two terms $-S+βE$ in a natural manner \textit{in any stationary spacetime with horizon}, where $E$ is essentially an integral over ADM energy density and $S$ arises from the integral of the surface gravity over the horizon. This analysis shows that the true degrees of freedom of gravity reside in the surface term of the action, making gravity intrinsically holographic. It also provides a close connection between gravity and gauge theories, and highlights the subtle role of the singular coordinate transformations.

description: The mechanical properties of umbilical are mostly analyzed by traditional numerical simulation, which is time-consuming and not easy to converge, seriously affecting the analysis efficiency of mechanical properties, which hardly guarantees its reliability and safety. Inspired by the idea of deep learning in solid mechanics computation, a novel 3D convolutional neural network model, Spatial and Channel Convolutional Block U-Net, (SCCB-U-Net), is proposed in this paper to realize real-time and efficient mechanical properties analysis of umbilical. Simultaneously, the Spatial Channel Convolutional Block (SCCB) is proposed to be embedded layer by layer into the network, consisting of the Spatial Convolutional Unit (SpU) and the Channel Convolutional Unit (ChU), which performs convolutional feature compression for spatial redundancy and channel redundancy, respectively. Taking the mechanical properties analysis of umbilical under tension-bending coupling as an example, the effect of hyperparameters such as optimizer, learning rate etc. on the performance of the proposed model are discussed in detail in this paper. From the experimental analysis, it can be seen that the proposed method can not only obtain the required mechanical properties results of umbilical in about 50s, less than the computation time of the traditional numerical simulation, but also has an accuracy of up to 89.97% compared with other deep learning models, and the prediction results are in good agreement with the error of 5.96%, which has demonstrated the accuracy and real-time performance of the proposed SCCB-U-Net in the analysis of the mechanical properties. Consequently, the proposed method not only can expand the application scope of deep learning in mechanical properties analysis, but also can provide a novel thought and technical tool for the safety monitoring and maintenance of umbilical.

description: We present a general framework for exemplar-based image translation, which synthesizes a photo-realistic image from the input in a distinct domain (e.g., semantic segmentation mask, or edge map, or pose keypoints), given an exemplar image. The output has the style (e.g., color, texture) in consistency with the semantically corresponding objects in the exemplar. We propose to jointly learn the crossdomain correspondence and the image translation, where both tasks facilitate each other and thus can be learned with weak supervision. The images from distinct domains are first aligned to an intermediate domain where dense correspondence is established. Then, the network synthesizes images based on the appearance of semantically corresponding patches in the exemplar. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in several image translation tasks. Our method is superior to state-of-the-art methods in terms of image quality significantly, with the image style faithful to the exemplar with semantic consistency. Moreover, we show the utility of our method for several applications

description: We derive criterion in the form of inequality based on quantum Fisher information and quantum variance to detect multipartite entanglement. It can be regarded as complementary of the well-established PPT criterion in the sense that it can also detect bound entangled states. The inequality is motivated by Y.Akbari-Kourbolagh $et\ al.$[Phys. Rev A. 99, 012304 (2019)] which introduced a multipartite entanglement criterion based on quantum Fisher information. Our criterion is experimentally measurable for detecting any $N$-qudit pure state mixed with white noisy. We take several examples to illustrate that our criterion has good performance for detecting certain entangled states.

description: Quantum light generated in non-degenerate squeezers has many applications such as sub-shot-noise transmission measurements to maximise the information extracted by one photon or quantum illumination to increase the probability in target detection. However, any application thus far fails to consider the thermal characteristics of one half of the bipartite down-converted photon state often used in these experiments. We show here that a maximally mixed state, normally viewed as nuisance, can indeed be used to extract information about the position of an object while at the same time providing efficient camouflaging against other thermal or background light.

description: The time dependent Schrödinger equation for an electron passing through a semiconductor quantum ring of nonzero width is solved in the presence of a perpendicular homogenous magnetic field. We study the effects of the Lorentz force on the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. Within the range of incident momentum for which the ring is transparent at zero magnetic field, the Lorentz force leads to a decrease of the oscillation amplitude, due to the asymmetry in the electron injection in the two arms of the ring. For structures in which the fast electrons are predominantly backscattered, the Lorentz force assists in the transport producing an initial increase of the corresponding oscillation amplitude. Furthermore, we discuss the effect of elastic scattering on a potential cavity within one of the arms of the ring. For the cavity tuned to shift maximally the phase of the maximum of the wave packet we observe a $π$ shift of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. For other cavity depths the oscillations with a period of half of the flux quantum are observed.

description: The aim of this study was to develop an ICF core set for the management of musculoskeletal conditions in primary care physiotherapy services in Spain. A two-round Delphi study was conducted among Spanish primary care physiotherapists. A list of 156 candidate ICF entities and 14 personal factors derived from preparatory studies was presented to an expert panel. Their relevance was assessed in the first round using a 5-point Likert scale, with a median score of 3.5 as the cut-off point. In the second round, dichotomous questions (yes/no) were proposed to definitively include or exclude the entities selected in the first round in the ICF Core Set. Consensus was defined as 80% agreement. Twenty-two physiotherapists participated in the survey. Consensus was reached on 56 entities, mainly focusing on the biological aspects of movement and their impact on mobility. These entities were proposed as the basis of an ICF core set for the management of musculoskeletal conditions by primary care physiotherapists. The proposed ICF core set is the first step for the development of a standardised assessment and reporting system for functioning and contributes to the integration of the ICF into community-based rehabilitation services in Spain. This study proposes an ICF core set for the management of musculoskeletal conditions in primary care physiotherapy services in Spain.The definition of relevant ICF domains has the potential to develop a standardised assessment and reporting system for functioning in primary care settings.The findings contribute to the integration of the ICF into community-based rehabilitation in the Spanish National Health System.

description: 	Systematic review is a meta-analytical framework for quantitatively searching, sorting, and synthesizing scholarly research on a particular topic. Systematic review techniques have recently gained traction in the field of engineering education. A systematic review performed over a specific area of practice can consolidate results from many studies into a synthesis of best practices. This paper presents the best practices for teaching introductory circuits which were identified through a systematic review of prior research. Relevant publications were identified and appraised with a set of coding criteria generated by the researchers. The coding results were examined and used to write a mixed-methods synthesis of consensus, disagreement, quality, and limitations amongst studies identified by the systematic literature review. The results of the review may inform educational techniques employed in post-secondary introductory circuits courses.

description: The newly found superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelate superconducting films has attracted much attention, because their crystalline and electronic structures are similar to high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors. The upper critical field can provide much information on superconductivity, but detailed experimental data are still lacking in these films. Here we present temperature and angle dependence of resistivity measured under different magnetic fields ($H$) in Nd$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$NiO$_{2}$ thin films. The onset superconducting transition occurs at about 16.2 K at 0 T. Temperature dependent upper critical fields determined by using a criterion very close to the onset transition show a clear negative curvature near the critical transition temperature, which is explained as the consequence of the paramagnetically limited effect on superconductivity. The temperature dependent anisotropy of the upper critical field is obtained from resistivity data, which yields a value decreasing from 3 to 1.2 with lowering temperature. This can be explained by a variable contribution from the orbital limit effect on upper critical field. The angle dependent resistivity at a fixed temperature and different magnetic fields cannot be scaled to one curve, which deviates from the prediction of the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory. However, at low temperatures, the increased resistivity by magnetic field can be scaled by the parameter $H^β|\cosθ|$ ($1

A node is preferentially selected by its degree to add an edge randomly among its neighbors. Using continuum theory and rate equation method we get the analytical expressions of the power-law degree distribution with exponent $γ=3$ and the clustering coefficient $c(k)\sim k^{-1}+c$. The analytical expressions are in good agreement with the numerical calculations.

The development of reading in children from diverse linguistic backgrounds : a 5-year longitudinal study
Creators: name: Lesaux, Nonie K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The development of early reading and language was examined in native English speaking children (L1) and English as a second language (ESL) speaking children who were receiving instruction in English. Patterns of reading development from kindergarten to grade 4 were examined, which skills identify those children in kindergarten as at-risk for reading failure from all language backgrounds, and individual growth curve analysis was employed to examine the influence of kindergarten language background (L1 or ESL) and phonological processing skills on initial reading ability in grade 1 and on the development of reading from grades 1 through 4. The participants of the study were 860 grade 4 children who were part of a longitudinal study that began in their kindergarten year. Within the sample, there were 728 L1 speakers and 132 L2 speakers. In kindergarten, participants were administered standardized tasks of reading and memory as well as experimental tasks of phonological awareness, letter identification, rapid naming, and phonological memory. At the end of grade 4, children were administered various tasks of reading, spelling, language, arithmetic, and memory. All children received phonological awareness instruction in kindergarten and systematic phonics instruction in grade 1 in the context of a balanced early literacy program. By the end of grade 4, the L2 speakers had attained reading skills that were similar to the L1 speakers, and even performed at a superior level to the L1 speakers on tasks of word reading, spelling, arithmetic and rapid naming. However, there were differences on each of the measures between average and disabled readers in grade 4, regardless of native language. The results provide evidence that language background in kindergarten does not have a significant effect on initial status of grade 1 reading, nor on the underlying growth patterns of reading, and that ESL speakers reading comprehension develops in a similar manner to their L1 peers. The results also provide support for the universality of reading problems, the persistent nature of the phonological difficulties, and the need for effective early reading instruction for all children.

description: Trade bans and high international food prices are pushing many West African countries away from their historical reliance on regional and international trade as a key component of their food security strategies. No longer confident that international and regional markets are reliable sources of basic staples, many countries are pushing for greater food self sufficiency—a sort of agricultural globalization in reverse. This paper examines West Africa’s globalization in reverse and raises a number of questions about what role regional and international trade should play in the region’s future quest for food security. The objective is to stimulate discussion about the different strategies available to West African governments for ensuring food security in the current environment of high world market prices for staple foods. These strategies need to take into account not only the need to provide safety nets for vulnerable groups who cannot afford the higher food costs but also the need to stimulate production in response to growing regional and world demand.

description: International agricultural research has historically been an example par excellence of an open source approach to biological research. Beginning in the 1950s and especially in the 1960s, a looming global food crisis led to the development of a group of international agricultural research centers with a specific mandate to foster international exchange and crop improvement relevant to many countries. This formalization of a global biological commons in genetic resources was implemented through an elaborate system of international nurseries with a breeding hub, free sharing of germplasm, collaboration in information collection, the development of human resources, and an international collaborative network. This paper traces the history of the international wheat program with particular attention to how this truly open source system operated in practice and the impacts that it had on world poverty and hunger. The paper also highlights the challenges of maintaining and evolving such a system over the long term, both in terms of financing, as well the changing ‘rules of the game’ resulting from international agreements on intellectual property rights and biodiversity. Yet the open source approach is just as relevant today, as witnessed by the recent global food crisis and looming crop diseases problem of global significance.

description: Entity interaction prediction is essential in many important applications such as chemistry, biology, material science, and medical science. The problem becomes quite challenging when each entity is represented by a complex structure, namely structured entity, because two types of graphs are involved: local graphs for structured entities and a global graph to capture the interactions between structured entities. We observe that existing works on structured entity interaction prediction cannot properly exploit the unique graph of graphs model. In this paper, we propose a Graph of Graphs Neural Network, namely GoGNN, which extracts the features in both structured entity graphs and the entity interaction graph in a hierarchical way. We also propose the dual-attention mechanism that enables the model to preserve the neighbor importance in both levels of graphs. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets show that GoGNN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on two representative structured entity interaction prediction tasks: chemical-chemical interaction prediction and drug-drug interaction prediction.

description: Ausgangspunkt der kumulativen Dissertation ist der zu beobachtende zunehmende Legitimationsbedarf von Berufungsverfahren an deutschen Universitäten. Dieser liegt zum einen begründet in dem wissenschaftlichen und wissenschaftspolitischen Diskurs über die Berufungspraxis an Hochschulen und wurde zum anderen durch die Reformen des New Public Managements befördert, die zu einer gestiegenen Autonomie der Universitäten geführt haben. Eine Konsequenz dieser Entwicklung ist die Implementierung und Weiterentwicklung von Instrumenten der Qualitätssicherung für die Durchführung dieses komplexen Entscheidungsfindungsprozesses. Die Rahmenschrift der Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der Rolle von qualitätssichernden Maßnahmen in Berufungsverfahren an staatlichen Universitäten in Deutschland. Im Fokus der kumulierten Beiträge stehen zwei Maßnahmen, die die Qualität des professoralen Personalauswahlprozesses sichern sollen: der Verfahrensschritt der schriftlichen Begutachtung der Bewerber:innen durch externe Fachwissenschaftler:innen und die Begleitung von Berufungsverfahren durch die Instanz der Berufungsbeauftragten.

description: In the 1970s and 1980s, most African countries sold fertilizer at subsidized prices through state-owned enterprises. In response to the fiscal cost and ineffective implementation of these subsidies, as well as pressure from international financial institutions, almost all of these countries liberalized their fertilizer markets to some degree as part of structural adjustment programs carried out in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Under these reforms, governments eliminated state monopolies on fertilizer distribution and phased out universal subsidies.
A Singlet Dark Matter in the SU(6)/SO(6) Composite Higgs Model

description: Singlet scalar Dark Matter can naturally arise in composite Higgs models as an additional stable pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson. We study the properties of such a candidate in a model based on $SU(6)/SO(6)$, with the light quark masses generated by 4-fermion interactions. The presence of non-linearities in the couplings allows to saturate the relic density for masses $400 < m_{\rm DM} < 1000$ GeV, and survive the bound from Direct Detection and Indirect Detection. The viable parameter regions are in reach of the sensitivities of future upgrades, like XENONnT and LZ.

description: We report on the fabrication and characterization of single crystal field-effect transistors (FETs) based on diphenylbenzo diselenophene (DPh-BDSe). These organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) function as p-channel accumulation-mode devices. At room temperature, for the best devices, the threshold voltage is less than -7V and charge carrier mobility is nearly gate bias independent, ranging from 1cm2/Vs to 1.5 cm2/Vs depending on the source-drain bias. Mobility is increased slightly by cooling below room temperature and decreases below 280 K.
Explaining the Variations in Isotopic Ratios in Meteoritic Amino Acids

description: Measurements of the isotopic abundances in meteoritic amino acids have found enhancements of $^2$H/H, $^{15}$N/$^{14}$N, and $^{13}$C/$^{12}$C in the amino acids in the meteorites studied. We show that they are consistent with the processing of the constituents of the meteorites by electron anti-neutrinos that would be expected from a core-collapse supernova or neutron-star merger. Using theoretical electron anti-neutrino cross sections we are able to predict these isotopic ratio variations depending on the time-integrated anti-neutrino flux at the site where the amino acids were processed.

description: Since the 1980s, developing countries’ agriculture has become more complex and diversified. In general, the public research and extension institutions in these countries were criticized for not participating in the emergence of the most dynamic agricultural markets. In recent years, many of these institutions have struggled to adapt to the new environment but they could not overcome the hurdles posed by organizational rigidities, strict public regulations, deteriorating human capital, shrinking budgets and a model of science that hampered their integration into dynamic innovation processes. In general, developing countries applied similar agricultural research policies: separation of financing and implementation of research, reductions in direct budgetary allocations to research and extension institutions, elimination or major reduction of public extension, and introduction of competitive grants programs to induce a transformation of research organizations. Strong anecdotal information suggests that these policies had limited impact on the quality and pertinence of research, and on the performance of the public research institutions. Using a different set of instruments, the Mexican Produce Foundations (PF) had major and diverse impacts on the agricultural innovation and research systems. These impacts resulted mostly from activities the PF introduced as they learned to manage funds for research and extension, and to a lesser extent from the activities they were created for, i.e., manage a competitive fund for agricultural research and extension. The PF were able to introduce these activities because they developed strong abilities to learn, including identifying knowledge gaps and defining strategies to fill them. The questions this report seeks to answer are how an organization that manages public funds for research and extension could sustain organizational innovations over extended periods, and how it could learn and adapt to maximize its impact on the agricultural innovation system. Previous studies found that human resources, organizational cultures and governance structures are three of the most important factors influencing institutional change and innovative capabilities. Despite their importance, these factors have been largely neglected in the literature on agricultural research and extension policies. This document analyzes what role these factors played in the Mexican experience.

description: It is now fashionable in many circles to advocate vegetarianism, and many activist groups are vocal in their aim to convert the human race to vegetarians. What would be the economic costs and benefits of a shift away from meat consumption? In this article we provide some partial answers to this question. In three separate analyses we show (i) that it is much more costly to produce energy and protein from animal-based sources than from some plant-based sources, (ii) that sizable demand shifts away from meat consumption would result in significantly lower corn prices and production, and (iii) that the average U.S. consumer places a higher value on having meat in his or her diet than having any other food group. This information should help move forward our understanding of the economics of vegetarianism and provide an objective stance from which to evaluate the claims being made by advocates of vegetarianism.

Non-Hermitian Ferromagnetism in an Ultracold Fermi Gas

description: We develop a non-Hermitian effective theory for a repulsively interacting Fermi gas in the excited branch. The on-shell $T$-matrix is employed as a complex-valued interaction term, which describes a repulsive interaction between atoms in the excited branch and a two-body inelastic decay to the attractive branch. To see the feature of this model, we have addressed, in the weak coupling regime, the excitation properties of a repulsive Fermi polaron as well as the time-dependent number density. The analytic expressions obtained for these quantities qualitatively show a good agreement with recent experiments. By calculating the dynamical transverse spin susceptibility in the random phase approximation, we show that a ferromagnetic system with nonzero polarization undergoes a dynamical instability and tends towards a heterogeneous phase.
