description: In this work, epoxy (EP) resin composites with multi-scale reinforcements were prepared by hand lay-up and hot-pressing. The epoxy was reinforced with basalt fibers (BF) modified with a silane coupling agent (KH560). Carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were also grafted onto the surface of the modified BF using an impregnation method to achieve BF/CNTs multi-scale reinforcement. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that KH560 was successfully grafted onto the BF surface. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), indicated a better resin adhesion on the BF and thus a stronger interfacial interaction in the BF/CNTs-reinforced composite. It was observed that the mass fraction of KH560 was a significant parameter in achieving desirable CNT immobilization and mechanical properties of the composites. At an optimal mass fraction of KH560 (5%), the tensile, flexural, and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of the modified composite (BF-5%KH560-CNT/EP) increased by 12.5%, 20.9%, and 25.5% respectively compared with the BF-washed/EP composite due to more efficient load transfer. In addition, compared with BF-washed/EP, the decomposition onset temperature of BF-5%KH560-CNT/EP increased from 387°C to 396°C, the maximum decomposition rate temperature increased from 400°C to 408°C, and the residual weight increased by 5.8%.

description: Magnetic critical current density and relaxation rate have been measured on $MgB_2$ bulks from 1.6 K to $T_c$ at magnetic fields up to 8 Tesla. A vortex phase diagram is depicted based on these measurement. Two phase boundaries $H_{irr}^{bulk}(T)$ and $H_{irr}^{g}(T)$ characterizing different irreversible flux motions are found. The $H_{irr}^{bulk}(T)$ is characterized by the appearance of the linear resistivity and is attributed to quantum vortex melting induced by quantum fluctuation of vortices in the rather clean system. The second boundary $ H_{irr}^g(T) $ reflects the irreversible flux motion in some local regions due to either very strong pinning or the surface barrier on the tiny grains.

description: WASP-121b is a transiting gas giant exoplanet orbiting close to its Roche limit, with an inflated radius nearly double that of Jupiter and a dayside temperature comparable to a late M dwarf photosphere. Secondary eclipse observations covering the 1.1-1.6 micron wavelength range have revealed an atmospheric thermal inversion on the dayside hemisphere, likely caused by high altitude absorption at optical wavelengths. Here we present secondary eclipse observations made with the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 spectrograph that extend the wavelength coverage from 1.1 micron down to 0.8 micron. To determine the atmospheric properties from the measured eclipse spectrum, we performed a retrieval analysis assuming chemical equilibrium, with the effects of thermal dissociation and ionization included. Our best-fit model provides a good fit to the data with reduced chi^2=1.04. The data diverge from a blackbody spectrum and instead exhibit emission due to H- shortward of 1.1 micron. The best-fit model does not reproduce a previously reported bump in the spectrum at 1.25 micron, possibly indicating this feature is a statistical fluctuation in the data rather than a VO emission band as had been tentatively suggested. We estimate an atmospheric metallicity of [M/H]=1.09(-0.69,+0.57), and fit for the carbon and oxygen abundances separately, obtaining [C/H]=-0.29(-0.48,+0.61) and [O/H]=0.18(-0.60,+0.64). The corresponding carbon-to-oxygen ratio is C/O=0.49(-0.37,+0.65), which encompasses the solar value of 0.54, but has a large uncertainty.

description: By using the wavelet transformation (WT), we have analyzed the response of an ensemble of $N$ (=1, 10, 100 and 500) Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neurons to {\it transient} $M$-pulse spike trains ($M=1-3$) with independent Gaussian noises. The cross-correlation between the input and output signals is expressed in terms of the WT expansion coefficients. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is evaluated by using the {\it denoising} method within the WT, by which the noise contribution is extracted from output signals. Although the response of a single (N=1) neuron to sub-threshold transient signals with noises is quite unreliable, the transmission fidelity assessed by the cross-correlation and SNR is shown to be much improved by increasing the value of $N$: a population of neurons play an indispensable role in the stochastic resonance (SR) for transient spike inputs. It is also shown that in a large-scale ensemble, the transmission fidelity for supra-threshold transient spikes is not significantly degraded by a weak noise which is responsible to SR for sub-threshold inputs.

– Female 57 × 72 mm, Azores, BIAÇORES, stn P.34 (MNHN-B 21900).
The sternal sutures 7/8 open anteriorly between the P2 and each ends apart in the middle of a very weak and circular prominence, by an aperture consisting of terminal rounded opening (Figs 2; 5B; 6). The bulb of each spermatheca is posterior only, without extending on basis of the chamber, but it prolonges by a marked basal thickening; the bulb is globular, prominent, not tapering, its surface is uneven, and a small pointed prominence is visible anteriorly. The dissection of the bulb showed the presence of sperm inside. The chamber is much inflated and filled with sperm mass; the inner wall is membranous and well ornamented. The tube is very thick, ending in a terminal opening, corresponding to each spermathecal aperture positioned between the P2.
– Female 12 mm length, Azores, BIAÇORES 1971 (MNHN-B 12746).
The sternal sutures 7/8 only end at the level of the P3, beyond the level of gonopores on the P3 coxae, however.

description: This paper focus on the relationships between the mathematician Enrico Betti (1823-1892) and the statesman and scientist Quintino Sella (1827-1884) in the crucial period of Italy’s unification. They shared the same cosmopolitan conception of science that they embraced during their yourneys abroad. Their aims were the promotion of Italian science to the highest degree of development in Europe, the creation of a national scientific community, the establishment of public schools to improve the cultural preparation of the new generations, the organization of scholarships and prizers to encourage research, the foundations of specialized periodicals and the proceedings of scientific societies.

description: The prototype compound for the neutral-ionic phase transition, namely TTF-CA, is theoretically investigated by first-principles density functional theory calculations. The study is based on three neutron diffraction structures collected at 40, 90 and 300 K (Le Cointe et al., Phys. Rev. B 51, 3374 (1995)). By means of a topological analysis of the total charge densities, we provide a very precise picture of intra and inter-chain interactions. Moreover, our calculations reveal that the thermal lattice contraction reduces the indirect band gap of this organic semi-conductor in the neutral phase, and nearly closes it in the vicinity of the transition temperature. A possible mechanism of the neutral-ionic phase transition is discussed. The charge transfer from TTF to CA is also derived by using three different technics.

description: We study the optical response of a 2D square lattice of atoms using classical electrodynamics. Due to dipole-dipole interactions, the lattice atoms polarize as if the lattice were an atom with up to three resonance frequencies, with cooperatively shifted resonances and altered transition linewidths. We show that when the distance between two 2D lattices is large enough and Bragg reflections are absent, the lattices interact among themselves as if they radiated a plane wave whose amplitude is in accordance with the radiation from a dipole moment continuously distributed in the lattice plane. We employ these results to study light propagation in stacks of 2D lattices, drawing on simple qualitative pictures of the response of a 2D lattice and light propagation in 1D waveguides. We show that a stack of 2D lattices may emulate regularly spaced atoms in a lossless 1D waveguide, and argue that in a suitable geometry the resonance shifts characteristic of 1D and 2D lattice structures may completely cancel to eliminate density dependent resonance shifts of atoms bound to a 3D lattice. A generalization to the case of anisotropic polarizability, such as in the presence of a magnetic field, reveals light frequencies induced by the magnetic field for which the lattice is either completely transparent, or completely opaque.

Year: 2019

description: The characteristics of family businesses in the East European regions may be associated with the distinctive regional cultures suggesting support for the presence of culturally implicit theories in family business characteristics. The research design was used to develop samples of articles for content, analyzing the characteristics of family businesses in the East European cluster. This article provides an overview and comparative analysis of East European cluster differences of Anglo, Germanic and Nordic clusters and provides recommendations for the development of the family business in the East European cluster. This analysis is of East European countries, where family business cultures and family traditions have been broken. After regaining independence, entrepreneurs started to restore previous firms and wished to continue family traditions; entrepreneurship started to develop, and many started family businesses. Family businesses have become stronger interests in East European countries

description: The essay analyzes the forms of funding for the salaries of professors at the University of Turin from its establishment to the French occupation of the city in 1536. It also references other indirect sources of income that supplemented the salaries, such as the tax privileges and exemptions traditionally granted to professors. The strong interventions of the seigneurial power (Prince Ludovic of Achaea and, from 1418, Savoy dukes), aimed at involving the city of Turin and the Principatus in financing are highlighted. Initially, this was accomplished through the imposition of extraordinary subsidies, and from 1424 onwards, through a regular tax. Finally, in 1441, this tax was replaced by a ducal contribution and a subsidy provided by the Commune of Turin. The revenue sources allocated to the University by the cities that hosted the institution (Turin, and for some years, Chieri and Savigliano) are presented here through an analysis of surviving financial records of the Commune.

In What Way Should the Preparations for the 2016 Administrative Reform Have Been Different and Why?
Creators: name: Mäeltsemees, Sulev
Publisher: name: Estonian Discussions on Economic Policy
Year: 2019

description: The administrative-territorial organisation of Estonia needed changes. The average population of Estonian rural municipalities was in 2016 less than 2,500 people and, in spite of mergers, there are still inexpedient units where the centrally located settlement is separated from its hinterland in administrative terms. However, one should be objective when preparing and implementing the administrative-territorial reform. The often expressed opinion that decreasing the number of rural municipalities would result in retrenchment of resources in terms of the number of local officials and administrative costs is misleading. In 2016 was adopted the Administrative Reform Act. Its implementation began in 2017. The purpose of this paper is to analyze in what way should the preparation for the 2017 administrative reform in Estonia have been different and why.

description: We consider the process of black hole formation in particle collisions in the exactly solvable framework of 2+1 dimensional Anti de Sitter gravity. An effective Hamiltonian describing the near horizon dynamics of a head on collision is given. The Hamiltonian exhibits a universal structure, with a formation of a horizon at a critical distance. Based on it we evaluate the action for the process and discuss the semiclassical amplitude for black hole formation. The derived amplitude is seen to contain no exponential suppression or enhancement. Coments on the CFT description of the process are made.

description: We construct samples of jetted active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with low-frequency radio data from the recent released TGSS AD1 catalog at 150 MHz. With these samples, we compare the properties of jet power for blazars, radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (RL-NLS1s), young radio sources (YRSs) and radio galaxies. The jet-disk connection, and the unification of jetted AGNs are explored. On the Eddington ratio --- Eddington-scaled jet power plane, jetted AGNs can be generally divided into two populations. Low power radio galaxies, low excitation FR IIs (LEG/FR IIs), and most YRSs show larger jet power than accretion power, while FSRQs, RL-NLS1s, and high excitation FR IIs (HEG/FR IIs) are on the contrary. LEG/FR IIs share similar jet power properties with HEG/FR IIs, while their accretion properties are different with the latter. These facts suggest an evolutional sequence from HEG/FR IIs, LEG/FR IIs to FR Is, where the accretion and jet activities get dimmed gradually. LEG/FR IIs are the transitional objects that accretion processes have switched off, while jets are still active. After correcting the contribution from radio core of blazars, the unification between blazars and radio galaxies is confirmed with the jet power distributions. The unification involved RL-NLS1s is more complicated than the simple scenarios of black hole growth or orientation effect. In addition, our results manifest that low synchrotron peaked BL Lacs (LBLs) contain two distinct groups on the distribution of jet power, with one group similar with FSRQs and the other similar with intermediate synchrotron peaked BL Lacs. The LBLs with higher jet powers might be the aligned counterparts of LEG/FR IIs.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the micropipet experiments recently reported in J-B. Manneville et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4356--4359 (1999), including a derivation of the expected behaviour of the membrane tension as a function of the areal strain in the case of an active membrane, i.e., containing a nonequilibrium noise source. We give a general expression, which takes into account the effect of active centers both directly on the membrane, and on the embedding fluid dynamics, keeping track of the coupling between the density of active centers and the membrane curvature. The data of the micropipet experiments are well reproduced by the new expressions. In particular, we show that a natural choice of the parameters quantifying the strength of the active noise explains both the large amplitude of the observed effects and its remarkable insensitivity to the active-center density in the investigated range.

DESCRIPTION
 Test length attaining 23.0- 28.1 mm. Outline oval to sub-round, markedly wide at anterior (W/L = 0.91-1.0). Posterior margin straight. Adapical surface high, culminate behind the apical disc (H/L = 0.66-0.76). Adoral surface convex, swollen at the plastron. Posterior surface with oblique truncation. Apical disc centric, semi-ethmolytic. Frontal ambulacrum narrow and deep near apical disc, flush to very shallow at the ambitus. Paired ambulacra petaloid, relatively short and deep. Posterior paired petals shorter and less divergent than the posterior ones (LI/LII = 0.72-0.77, NI = 23-29, NII = 28-39). Fascioles are a narrow band of peripetalous parafasciole (sensu Néraudeau et al. 1998).
REMARKS
 This species is characterized by its globular test with short petals and flush frontal ambulacrum at the ambitus. It is distinguished from H. gauthieri Péron, 1877 from the Turonian and Santonian of France and Spain in having relatively longer and deeper petals.

description: We present a detailed analytical and numerical study for the spreading of infections in complex population networks with acquired immunity. We show that the large connectivity fluctuations usually found in these networks strengthen considerably the incidence of epidemic outbreaks. Scale-free networks, which are characterized by diverging connectivity fluctuations, exhibit the lack of an epidemic threshold and always show a finite fraction of infected individuals. This particular weakness, observed also in models without immunity, defines a new epidemiological framework characterized by a highly heterogeneous response of the system to the introduction of infected individuals with different connectivity. The understanding of epidemics in complex networks might deliver new insights in the spread of information and diseases in biological and technological networks that often appear to be characterized by complex heterogeneous architectures.

description: We investigate the classical-quantum correspondence for particle motion in a superlattice in the form of a 2D channel with periodic modulated boundaries. Its classical dynamics undergoes the generic transition to chaos of Hamiltonian systems as the amplitude of the modulation is increased. We show that for strong chaotic motion, the classical counterpart of the structure of eigenstates (SES) in energy space reveals an excellent agreement with the quantum one. This correspondence allows us to understand important features of the SES in terms of classical trajectories. We also show that for typical 2D modulated waveguides there exist, at any energy range, extremely localized eigenstates (in energy) which are practically unperturbed by the modulation. These states contribute to the strong fluctuations around the classical SES. The approach to the classical limit is discussed.

description: If the linear perturbation theory is valid through the bounce, the surviving fluctuations from the ekpyrotic scenario (cyclic one as well) should have very blue spectra with suppressed amplitude for the scalar-type structure. We derive the same (and consistent) result using the curvature perturbation in the uniform-field (comoving) gauge and in the zero-shear gauge. Previously, Khoury et al. interpreted results from the latter gauge condition incorrectly and claimed the scale-invariant spectrum, thus generating controversy in the literature. We also correct similar errors in the literature based on wrong mode identification and joining condition. No joining condition is needed for the derivation.

description: Security is one of the major concerns of modern communication systems. Users demand a secure communication environment that provides privacy to the people while they are sharing messages to anyone. Privacy is a prime concern nowadays. This paper aims to provide an optimal platform for communication between the sender and the receiver. This prototype designed in the paper will provide a better anonymous path for routing messages. It will ensure ones full privacy while he or she is using this system for communication. As the proposed system provides a secure communication environment, it is supposed to be useful for the secret communication inside different governmental and non-governmental organizations. The law enforcements can use this system for any of their operations as it will encrypt and decrypt the message to give a secure platform for communication.

description: Spin imbalance is predicted to lead to suppression of superconductivity. We report phenomena manifesting this effect under spin-polarized quasiparticle currents in ferromagnet-superconductor-ferromagnet single electron transistors. The measured superconducting gap as a function of magnetic field reveals a dramatic decrease when the magnetizations of the two leads are in opposite orientations. The effect of suppression increases with increas-ing voltage but decreases at elevated temperatures. The possible explanations for these dependences are given. This method may render it applicable to control superconductivity at low temperatures and low fields.

Sustainable and responsible creation of shared values in the fast fashion industry

description: The fashion industry is well-known for its negative social and environment impacts and a problematic compliance with criteria related to sustainability, Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and Creating Shared Value (CSV). However, even fast fashion businesses, despite their low-cost approach “at any price”, claim to have moved towards sustainability. To examine the extent to which their claims are genuine requires scrutiny involving four steps. First, the concepts of sustainability, CSR, and CSV in relation to the fashion industry are determined. Second, the particularities of their measurement for fast fashion businesses are examined with particular reference the fundamental virtues of respect and no waste. Third, these two virtues are assessed as precursors of the sustainable and responsible creation of shared values regarding a number of well-known fast fashion businesses in the EU, on the basis of their own qualitative content analysis in comparison with that of third-party websites. Fourth, results are critically and comparatively discussed. This leads to conclusions concerning the presence or absence of respect and no waste virtues and the variability in purported sustainable and responsible creation of shared values in the fast fashion industry. Our findings are that what is proclaimed and practiced by fast fashion businesses is thus far highly heterogenous and without regard for the question of measurability and the ability of the public to monitor it. The inherent limitations of our study will need to be offset by future longitudinal studies with a larger sample of businesses involving wider jurisdictions and using more sources.

description: Designing robotic assistance devices for manipulation tasks is challenging. This work is concerned with improving accuracy and usability of semi-autonomous robots, such as human operated manipulators or exoskeletons. The key insight is to develop a system that takes into account context- and user-awareness to take better decisions in how to assist the user. The context-awareness is implemented by enabling the system to automatically generate a set of candidate grasps and reach-to-grasp trajectories in novel, cluttered scenes. The user-awareness is implemented as a linear time-variant feedback controller to facilitate the motion towards the most promising grasp. Our approach is demonstrated in a simple 2D example in which participants are asked to grasp a specific object in a clutter scene. Our approach also reduce the number of controllable dimensions for the user by providing only control on x- and y-axis, while orientation of the end-effector and the pose of its fingers are inferred by the system. The experimental results show the benefits of our approach in terms of accuracy and execution time with respect to a pure manual control.
Long-Time Effects in a Simulation Model of Sputter Erosion

description: A simple (2+1) dimensional discrete model is introduced to study the evolution of solid surface morphologies during ion-beam sputtering. The model is based on the same assumptions about the erosion process as the existing analytic theories. Due to its simple structure, simulations of the model can be performed on time scales, where effects beyond the linearized theory become important. Whereas for short times we observe the formation of ripple structures in accordance with the linearized theory, we find a rough surface with scaling properties for intermediate times. The long time behavior of the model strongly depends on the surface relaxation mechanism.

(Figs 1A)
 Type material. HOLOTYPE: J, KENYA: COAST: Taita Hills, Vuria Forest, 3.41428°S 38.29178°E, 2162 m, 12–26. vi.2011, Malaise trap just inside indigenous forest, R. Copeland leg. (NMKE).
 Diagnosis. Male with head and scutum almost completely black, notauli reaching about 0.5 length of scutum, basivolsella with lateral medial process and not fused with paramere.
  Description. Male.  Fully winged; length 2.4 mm. Head black, except mandible testaceous; antenna brown; mesosoma black; metasoma brown; legs brown. Antenna filiform; antennal segments in following proportions: 6: 5: 6.5: 6.5: 7: 8: 7: 7: 7: 9. Head dull, granulated; frontal line only shortly present near clypeus; occipital carina complete; POL = 7; OL = 4; OOL = 4; OPL = 4; TL = 4; greatest breadth of posterior ocelli shorter than OPL (2: 4). Scutum, scutellum and metanotum dull, granulated. Notauli incomplete, reaching about 0.5 length of scutum. Propodeum reticulate rugose. Forewing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; stigmal vein regularly curved. Basivolsella (Fig. 1A) with lateral medial process and two subdistal bristles. Tibial spurs 1/1/2.
  Female.  Unknown.
 Differential diagnosis. Based on the characters summarized in the above diagnosis, in the Afrotropical Region the new species is similar to Aphelopus vernonensis Olmi, 2009 (see keys of OLMI 1984, 2009). The main difference regards the position of the lateral process of the basivolsella (medial in A. severancei (Fig. 1A), distal in A. vernonensis (Fig. 1B)). The shape of the basivolsella is the most important character used for differentiating males of Aphelopus (OLMI 1994a, 1999a; XU et al. 2013; OLMI & VIRLA 2014).
 Etymology. This species is named after my (RSC) college mate and rediscovered friend David Severance.
 Hosts. Unknown.
 Distribution. Only known in the type locality.
