description: 3D Point Cloud Semantic Segmentation (PCSS) is attracting increasing interest, due to its applicability in remote sensing, computer vision and robotics, and due to the new possibilities offered by deep learning techniques. In order to provide a needed up-to-date review of recent developments in PCSS, this article summarizes existing studies on this topic. Firstly, we outline the acquisition and evolution of the 3D point cloud from the perspective of remote sensing and computer vision, as well as the published benchmarks for PCSS studies. Then, traditional and advanced techniques used for Point Cloud Segmentation (PCS) and PCSS are reviewed and compared. Finally, important issues and open questions in PCSS studies are discussed.

description: In recent decades, scholars have both used Jesus’ crucifixion as a criterion of historicity and employed the rhetoric of a “crucifiable Jesus”– suggesting that some historical reconstructions of Jesus more plausibly explain his crucifixion than others. This dissertation tests the grounds of these proposals, whilst offering its own reconstruction of a crucifiable Jesus. It first investigates primary source depictions of Roman crucifixion and focuses upon the offences for which crucifixions were carried out. As a first level conclusion, it determines that, in a formal sense, a bare appeal to crucifiability or to a criterion of crucifixion does not yield what it purports to deliver because a wide range of offences were punishable by crucifixion. Moreover, sometimes victims of circumstance were crucified. However, in a less strict sense, this dissertation determines that the concept of crucifiability does retain some value if the particular situation and context of Jesus’ crucifixion are taken into account. In Roman orderings of crucifixion during peacetime, consideration was usually given to culpability, and a basic hearing was often given. Accordingly, Pontius Pilate was probably a typical governor who ordered Jesus’ crucifixion on the basis of a customary charge according to Roman penal convention. This dissertation goes on to propose that the types of gospel conflicts that are usually isolated by scholars in accounting for a crucifiable Jesus are better seen as complimentary rather than rival explanations for his crucifixion. The so-called temple cleansing, though not a large enough event to singularly explain the crucifixion, could plausibly fit with other economic conflicts within Jesus’ life. Jesus’ religious conflicts with his Jewish contemporaries perhaps explain some general animus towards him but not his Roman execution. Jesus’ condemnation of élites explains the hostility of Judaean and Roman powerholders towards him but not the titulus on the cross. Lastly, it is determined that a royal messianic acclamation of Jesus inspired by the implications of his activities likely explains his crucifixion as “King of the Jews”. As a final conclusion, this dissertation proposes that in the future, scholars should replace the language of ‘criterion’ with the language of historical ‘control’ when speaking of Jesus’ crucifixion.

description: Prediction and wager on the outcome of games/matches are known as sports betting. Positive attitudes toward sports betting may, in the long run, predict sports betting behaviorand gambling-related problems. This study, therefore, examined the influence of gender,age, sports betting knowledge and peer-based gambling on attitudes toward sports betting among young adults in Nigeria. The ex-post facto design was adopted in this crosssectional survey. The participants were 749 students (42.9% females) of a large tertiaryinstitution in southwest Nigeria. A standardized questionnaire comprising demographicsand measures of attitudes toward sports betting, sports betting knowledge and perceptionof peer gambling behavior was utilized in the study. Results revealed that attitudes towardsports betting are positive for older males who are knowledgeable about sports betting andhave friends who gamble. Sports betting knowledge and peer-based gambling stood out assignificant predictors of attitudes toward sports betting. The social circles of young adultsmay be the starting points for initiatives to develop healthy attitudes toward sports bettingand preventing gambling-related problems.

description: We study the four-point function of the lowest-lying half-BPS operators in the ${\cal N} =4$ $SU(N)$ super-Yang-Mills theory and its relation to the flat-space four-graviton amplitude in type IIB superstring theory. We work in a large-$N$ expansion in which the complexified Yang-Mills coupling $τ$ is fixed. In this expansion, non-perturbative instanton contributions are present, and the $SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$ duality invariance of correlation functions is manifest. Our results are based on a detailed analysis of the sphere partition function of the mass-deformed SYM theory, which was previously computed using supersymmetric localization. This partition function determines a certain integrated correlator in the undeformed ${\cal N} = 4$ SYM theory, which in turn constrains the four-point correlator at separated points. In a normalization where the two-point functions are proportional to $N^2-1$ and are independent of $τ$ and $\bar τ$, we find that the terms of order $\sqrt{N}$ and $1/\sqrt{N}$ in the large $N$ expansion of the four-point correlator are proportional to the non-holomorphic Eisenstein series $E({\scriptstyle \frac{3}{2}},τ,\barτ)$ and $E({\scriptstyle \frac{5}{2}},τ,\barτ)$, respectively. In the flat space limit, these terms match the corresponding terms in the type IIB S-matrix arising from $R^4$ and $D^4 R^4$ contact interactions, which, for the $R^4$ case, represents a check of AdS/CFT at finite string coupling. Furthermore, we present striking evidence that these results generalize so that, at order $N^{\frac{1}{2}-m}$ with integer $m \ge 0$, the expansion of the integrated correlator we study is a linear sum of non-holomorphic Eisenstein series with half-integer index, which are manifestly $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ invariant.

description: Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) direct detection experiments are closing in on the region of parameter space where neutralinos may constitute the Galactic halo dark matter. Numerical simulations and observations of galaxy halos indicate that the standard Maxwellian halo model is likely to be a poor approximation to the dark matter distribution. We examine how halo models with triaxiality and/or velocity anisotropy affect exclusion limits, before discussing the consequences of the possible survival of small scale clumps.

description: In multi-path routing schemes for payment-channel networks, Alice transfers funds to Bob by splitting them into partial payments and routing them along multiple paths. Undisclosed channel balances and mismatched transaction fees cause delays and failures on some payment paths. For atomic transfer schemes, these straggling paths stall the whole transfer. We show that the latency of transfers reduces when redundant payment paths are added. This frees up liquidity in payment channels and hence increases the throughput of the network. We devise Boomerang, a generic technique to be used on top of multi-path routing schemes to construct redundant payment paths free of counterparty risk. In our experiments, applying Boomerang to a baseline routing scheme leads to 40% latency reduction and 2x throughput increase. We build on ideas from publicly verifiable secret sharing, such that Alice learns a secret of Bob iff Bob overdraws funds from the redundant paths. Funds are forwarded using Boomerang contracts, which allow Alice to revert the transfer iff she has learned Bob's secret. We implement the Boomerang contract in Bitcoin Script.
A Polarimetric Survey for Dust in 47 Tucanae (NGC 104)

description: We present linear polarization in the V band for 77 stars in the field of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104), and for 14 bright-star-free regions, located along an elliptical isophotal contour of the cluster, as well as UBVRI measurements for the cluster nucleus. The observations show variable foreground polarization that, once removed, leaves marginally significant polarization residuals for the non-variable bright red giants. Although these residuals are small there is, however, a systematic trend in the sense that the larger ones are seen towards the south of the cluster (in a direction opposite to that of the cluster proper motion). In contrast, most of the variable stars do show significant intrinsic polarization. The behavior of the star-free regions is similar to that of the non-variable stars and sets an upper limit to the possible existence of a global pattern of scattered (and polarized) intra-cluster light in the V band. In turn, the multicolor observations of the cluster nucleus cannot be fitted with a Serkowski law and exhibit a polarization excess both in U and B. This polarization could be explained as a combination of the foreground interstellar component and another one arising in dust located in the nucleus and illuminated by a bright blue post-AGB star (at 48" from the cluster center). An inspection of a set of archive HST WFPC2 images reveals the presence of a number of dark patches in the innermost regions of the cluster. A prominent patch (some 5" by 3" in size) located at 12" from the cluster center and with a position angle (N to E) of 120 degrees, has a slightly different polarization, compared to that of the cluster nucleus, and appears as a good candidate to be identified as a dust globule within the cluster.

description: Companies increasingly turn towards users for inspiration to develop innovative products and services. Living labs (LLs) represent a new way for companies to engage in co-creation and to better understand user needs. LLs interact with a wide set of stakeholders, such as customers, companies and universities. Therefore, coordinating co-creation is particularly complex, as it requires the inclusion of more activities and actors than those of traditional closed innovation models. It is thus crucial to identify how co-creation can be facilitated in LLs. In spite of a growing body of literature, an understanding of those factors facilitating cocreation in LLs is still lacking. To fill this gap, the perspectives of three key stakeholders, the LL facilitators, companies and co-creators, are considered. This study employs a qualitative explorative approach in the form of a holistic single-case study. A bottom-up theory building approach based on rich qualitative data, collected through interviews, focus groups, observations, questionnaires, and documentary information, is chosen, and grounded theory identified as a suitable approach. Contributions from this thesis are captured in ‘The Five Ps for Co-creation Facilitation in Living Labs’ framework which presents the conditions to allow for systematic and tailored facilitation services. The five Ps - Purpose, Principles, People, Place, and Prize – build the cornerstones of this framework. This thesis suggests that it is important to understand the purpose behind a company’s co-creation project to tailor the facilitation service to its needs. Indeed, seven distinct categories of project objectives are reported. Furthermore, this study identifies seven principles influencing the interaction of People and Place of the LL. Finally, eight categories of project outcomes are recognised, referred to as Prize. This study contributes to the research on co-creation in LLs and provides guidelines for practitioners that would like to engage in such open innovation activities.

description: We present results from a simultaneous Chandra HETG and XMM-Newton observation of NGC 3516. We find evidence for several narrow components of Fe Kalpha along with a broad line. We consider the possibility that the lines arise in an blob of material ejected from the nucleus with velocity ~0.25c. We also consider an origin in a neutral accretion disk, suffering enhanced illumination at 35 and 175 gravitational radii, perhaps due to magnetic reconnection. The presence of these narrow features indicates there is no Comptonizing region along the line-of-sight to the nucleus. This in turn is compelling support for the hypothesis that broad Fe Kalpha components are, in general, produced by strong gravity.

description: The present study was carried out in the rice-wheat area of Pakistani Punjab. The data for the study was collected from three main districts of central Punjab Province i.e. Gujranwala, Sheikhupura and Hafizabad. In total 234 farmers were interviewed. The impact of agricultural extension services was estimated on adoption of new improved technologies and crop yields. The propensity score matching approach for impact evaluation was employed in the current study to correct for potential sample selection biasedness that may arise due to systematic differences between the farmers having benefited from agricultural extension services and not benefited from agricultural extension services. The empirical results indicate that agricultural extension services play a significant role in adoption of improved agricultural technologies like laser leveling, rice and wheat varieties. The farmers having benefitted from agricultural extension services were also getting higher rice and wheat yields. The results also indicates that mostly the large farmers are getting benefits from agricultural extension services and small scale farmers have less access to agricultural extension services.

description: Isothermal transformations are minimally dissipative but slow processes, as the system needs to remain close to thermal equilibrium along the protocol. Here, we show that smoothly modifying the system-bath interaction can significantly speed up such transformations. In particular, we construct protocols where the overall dissipation $W_{\rm diss}$ decays with the total time $τ_{\rm tot}$ of the protocol as $W_{\rm diss} \propto τ_{\rm tot}^{-2α-1}$, where each value $α> 0$ can be obtained by a suitable modification of the interaction, whereas $α=0$ corresponds to a standard isothermal process where the system-bath interaction remains constant. Considering heat engines based on such speed-ups, we show that the corresponding efficiency at maximum power interpolates between the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency for $α=0$ and the Carnot efficiency for $α\to \infty$. Analogous enhancements are obtained for the coefficient of performance of refrigerators. We confirm our analytical results with two numerical examples where $α= 1/2$, namely the time-dependent Caldeira-Leggett and resonant-level models, with strong system-environment correlations taken fully into account. We highlight the possibility of implementing our proposed speed-ups with ultracold atomic impurities and mesoscopic electronic devices.

description: Knowledge about politics and government activities increases due to the socialization and enlightenment functions of the mass media. Youths and students are the largest bloc of voters in Nigeria but seemingly least political informed. This study examines the frequency of the forms of media accessed and level of political knowledge among Nigerian students. It also assessed the relationships between political knowledge and access to radio, television, newspaper, and social media. Moreover, it investigated the predictive influence of the frequency of media access on Nigerian students‟ political knowledge. The study adopted Uses and Gratification Theory (UGT) to explain how media is used to the advantage of people. Using cross-sectional survey research design, a structured questionnaire was used to collect information on students‟ demographic, frequency of media access and knowledge of Nigerian politics from 246 randomly selected students of The Polytechnic, Ibadan (Mean age is 25.07 years, SD = 6.23). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Findings identified social media as the most frequently use media, followed by radio, television and newspaper.31% of the respondents had very high political knowledge while 3% had no political knowledge. Access to radio is the only significant correlate (r = 0.42, p<0.05) and independent predictor (β= 0.43, t=-3.98, p<0.05) of political knowledge although access to radio, television, newspaper and social media are significant joint predictors of political knowledge (R2= .18, F (4, 241) = 4.32). Therefore, the study concludes that radio is the foremost source of political knowledge amongst undergraduate students in Ibadan, Nigeria. It recommends that various media institutions and political analysts should take advantage of the social media to make more audience politically knowledgeable.

description: In 1999, the International Natural Rubber Agreement (INRA) which had regulated the world’s natural rubber since 1979 collapsed. This paper analyzed the impacts of this international agreement on both the global trade and supply of natural rubber as well as on Indonesia, a major producer of rubber. This study adopted two approaches in its assessment: (1) The Cournot-Nash Equilibrium, which analyzes the “external effects” or the global market conditions for natural rubber before and after the collapse of INRA; and (2) The Input-Output Table Simulation on rubber products, which assesses the “internal effects” or the economic conditions in Indonesia before and after the collapse of INRA.

description: Using the N-patch renormalization group method we investigate the flow of the quasiparticle weight in one-dimensional, weakly two-dimensional and fully two-dimensional Hubbard models. In one dimension we reproduce the Luttinger exponent that describes the disappearance of the quasiparticle peak towards lower scales. Further we analyze effects of the band structure, interchain hopping and the flow of the interactions in quasi-one-dimensional models. For the two-dimensional case we study how the suppression of the quasiparticle weight affects the flow to strong coupling. We find that the flow to strong coupling remains essentially unchanged. This strengthens the evidence for d-wave superconductivity in the weakly repulsive Hubbard model.

description: The quadruple perovskite CaMn$_7$O$_{12}$ is a topical multiferroic, in which the hierarchy of electronic correlations driving structural distortions, modulated magnetism, and orbital order is not well known and may vary with temperature. x-ray resonant elastic scattering (XRES) provides a momentum-resolved tool to study these phenomena, even in very small single crystals, with valuable information encoded in its polarization- and energy-dependence. We present an application of this technique to CaMn$_7$O$_{12}$. By polarization analysis, it is possible to distinguish superstructure reflections associated with magnetic order and orbital order. Given the high momentum resolution, we resolve a previously unknown splitting of an orbital order superstructure peak, associated with a distinct \textit{locked-in} phase at low temperatures. A second set of orbital order superstructure peaks can then be interpreted as a second-harmonic orbital signal. Surprisingly, the intensities of the first- and second-harmonic orbital signal show disparate temperature and polarization dependence. This orbital re-ordering may be driven by an exchange mechanism, that becomes dominant over the Jahn-Teller instability at low temperature.

description: In this paper, the impact of food safety concerns on Iran’s pistachio export demand was investigated. Panel data and panel cointegration analyses were used to estimate the export demand function of Iran’s pistachio nuts to the European Union (EU), Japan, and Australia for the period of 1997 to 2006 so that the relationship between factors affecting Iran’s pistachio exports can be examined. The results show the existence of long-run relationships among the variables that have a significant impact on Iran’s pistachio exports. The empirical results indicate that food safety shocks had a statistically significant negative impact on the import demand of those countries.

description: Context. This is the third study of a series dedicated to the observed parallelism of properties between Galaxy Clusters and Groups(GCGs) and early-type galaxies (ETGs). Aims. Here we investigate the physical origin of the Mass-Radius Relation (MRR). Methods. Having collected literature data on masses and radii for objects going from Globular Clusters (GCs) to ETGs and GCGs, we set up the MR-plane and compare the observed distribution with the MRR predicted by theoretical models both for the monolithic and hierarchical scenarios. Results. We argue that the distributions of stellar systems in the MR-plane is due to complementary mechanisms: (i) on one hand, as shown in paper II, the relation of the virial equilibrium does intersect with a relation that provides the total luminosity as a function of the star formation history; (ii) on the other hand, the locus predicted for the collapse of systems should be convolved with the statistical expectation for the maximum mass of the halos at each comsic epoch. This second aspect provides a natural boundary limit explaining either the curved distribution observed in the MR-plane and the existence of a zone of avoidance. Conclusions. The distribution of stellar systems in the MR-plane is the result of two combined evolution, that of the stellar component and that of the halo component.

description: Recent $ν_e$ appearance data from the Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment (MiniBooNE) are in support of the excess of events reported by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND), which provides an indirect hint for the existence of eV-scale sterile neutrino. As these sterile neutrinos can mix with the standard active neutrinos, in this paper we explore the effect of such active-sterile mixing on the determination of various oscillation parameters by the currently running long-baseline neutrino experiments T2K and NO$ν$A. We find that the existence of sterile neutrino can lead to new kind of degeneracies among these parameters which would substantially deteriorate the mass hierarchy sensitivity of NO$ν$A experiment. We further notice that the inclusion of data from T2K experiment helps in resolving the degeneracies. The impact of new CP violating phases $δ_{14}$ and $δ_{34}$ on the maximal CP-violation exclusion sensitivity for NO$ν$A experiment has also been illustrated. Finally, we discuss the implication of such light sterile neutrinos on neutrinoless double beta decay processes in line with recent experimental results, as well as on the sensitivity reach of future experiments.

description: The inhibition of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) presents a major challenge to drug discovery. The properties of consensus-designed tetratricopeptide repeat proteins (CTPRs) make them very amenable to be rationally-designed into potential new PPI inhibitors. This study sets out to investigate whether this could be achieved through the grafting of binding peptides into the inter-repeat loops. The work focused on two PPIs: the interaction between Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor (Nrf2) as well as the interaction between c-Myc and Myc-associated factor X (Max). In Chapter 3, computationally-designed peptides were grafted into the inter-repeat loops of CTPRs as well as into another consensus-designed repeat protein, namely Designed Anrkyrin Repeat Proteins but no binding of these proteins to their target was observed. In Chapter 4, a number of Keap1-binding peptides were successfully grafted into the inter-repeat loop of a two-repeat CTPR2 protein, with the tightest binding functionalised CTPR having low nanomolar affinity for Keap1. In Chapter 5, new strategies were explored in order to further the understanding of how best to graft functional peptides into the inter-repeat loop of CTPRs, with the introduction of polyglycine residues either side of the grafted peptide being shown to lead to a greater than two-fold improvement in the binding affinity. In Chapter 6, it was shown that the functionalised CTPRs could be successfully delivered into HCT 116 by encapsulation within fusogenic liposomes. In Chapter 7, a peptide segment of a c-Myc inhibitor was grafted into a CTPR scaffold, and also engineered as a chemically stapled peptide. Preliminary pull-down experiments suggested that the stapled peptide bound to c-Myc in HeLa cell lysate. This thesis demonstrates the amenability of the CTPRs to rational design with binding affinities in the low nanomolar range being obtained through peptide grafting into the inter-repeat loop. This highlights the potential application of this technology for the creation of future biotherapeutics.

description: The Health Facility Assessment was undertaken as part of a five-year multi-country implementation research project (Action Leveraging Evidence to reduce perinatal Mortality and morbidity in Sub-Saharan Africa - ALERT) which aims to design, implement and evaluate an innovative and multidimensional quality-improvement intervention to reduce perinatal mortality. The questionnaire was designed by ALERT researchers and has 17 sections including multiple-choice, open-ended questions and observation notes. The questions were relevant to the hospital administration (governance, leadership, and financing) and functioning of the hospital pharmacy and laboratory, extraction of aggregate monthly service statistics for maternal and perinatal health indicators for the period between January 2019 and December 2020, understanding of maternity guidelines and quality improvement processes, observations of infrastructure and service delivery, and a visual representation (map) of the hospital structure in relation to the labour/delivery ward and other spaces relevant to the provision of maternal and newborn care. A total of 18 questions on changes due to COVID-19 were also added to the tool and gathered data on adjustments made to service provision in the various departments of the hospitals and the number of maternity clients confirmed/suspected with COVID-19. This assessment tool took on average two to three days per hospital to administer, and required an average of three, but as many as six respondents per hospital as the tool included broad range of questions.

description: The economic performance of a country is clearly influenced by the facility of the local environment, the resources, infrastructure, and market conditions of the local areas. The importance of the development of the local economic is indisputable. There are 94 sub-regions which are underprivileged, 47 sub-regions are most disadvantageous and 33 sub-regions are the most disadvantageous and require complex developer program within the 174 Hungarian sub-regions. It is very important to develop these sub-regions. The local process of economic development is generally based on traditional solutions, but the present environment requires them to apply in modern social and economic circumstances. In the country there are numerous examples and methods of local economic development, however, while some of them have become fairy popular, others have rather scattered, insulated character. Every settlement has special, local features that might encourage, or sometimes discourage the development of the local economy. The local characteristics can seriously determine how the relative advantages are able to involve and retain new investments. Enterprises play a determinant role in local economic development. In our research we analyse the special functional features of sole proprietorships and partnerships in the sub-regions of Heves and Bátorterenye, indicating several typical processes of these sub- regions.

description: We prove that Chern insulators have topologically protected edge states which not only propagate unidirectionally along a straight line boundary, but also swerve around arbitrary-angled corners and geometric imperfections of the material boundary. This is a physical manifestation of the index theory of certain semigroup operator algebras.
