description: We discuss BeppoSAX observations and archive ASCA data of NGC 7679, a nearby, nearly face-on SB0 galaxy in which starburst and AGN activities coexist. The X-ray observations reveal a bright (L_{0.1-50 keV} \sim 2.9 \times 10^{43} erg s^{-1}) and variable source having a minimum observed doubling/halving time scale of \sim 10 - 20 ksec. A simple power law with photon index of Γ\sim 1.75 and small absorption (N_H < 4\times 10^{20} cm^{-2}) can reproduce the NGC 7679 spectrum from 0.1 up to 50 keV. These X-ray properties are unambiguous signs of Seyfert 1 activity in the nucleus of NGC 7679. The starburst activity, revealed by the IR emission, optical spectroscopy and Hαimaging, and dominating in the optical and IR bands, is clearly overwhelmed by the AGN in the X-ray band. Although, at first glance, this is similar to what is observed in other starburst-AGN galaxies (e.g. NGC 6240, NGC 4945), most strikingly here and at odds with the above examples, the X-ray spectrum of NGC 7679 does not appear to be highly absorbed. The main peculiarity of objects like NGC 7679 is not the strength of their starburst but the apparent optical weakness of the Seyfert 1 nucleus when compared with its X-ray luminosity. To date NGC 7679 is one of the few Seyfert 1/ Starburst composites for which the broad-band X-ray properties have been investigated in detail. The results presented here imply that optical and infrared spectroscopy could be highly inefficient in revealing the presence of an AGN in these kinds of objects, which instead is clearly revealed from X-ray spectroscopic and variability investigations.

subject: partial equilibrium model

description: The study uses a partial equilibrium model to determine the benefits that would accrue to smallholder dairy producers and consumers from improved efficiency of Tanzania’s informal dairy value chain. Two sources of technical efficiency are analyzed, namely, cost efficiency and scale efficiency. Using aggregate time series data to simulate the model, the study finds that improvement in scale efficiency offers relatively large benefits to both producers and consumers. However, benefits from improvement in cost efficiency are relatively small and disproportionate. It is concluded that improving technical efficiency in general would lead to significant benefits for producers and consumers.

Performing the fourth-order perturbation expansion with respect to the $x$-bonds, $y$-bonds, and magnetic field, we derive the effective Hamiltonian, where the low-energy physics should be described by the free spins with an effective magnetic field. Making use of the exact diagonalization method for small clusters, we discuss ground-state properties in the system complementary.

description: We construct an explicit example of dimensional reduction of the free massless Dirac operator with an internal SU(3) symmetry, defined on a twelve-dimensional manifold that is the total space of a principal SU(3)-bundle over a four-dimensional (nonflat) pseudo-Riemannian manifold. Upon dimensional reduction the free twelve-dimensional Dirac equation is transformed into a rather nontrivial four-dimensional one: a pair of massive Lorentz spinor SU(3)-octets interacting with an SU(3)-gauge field with a source term depending on the curvature tensor of the gauge field. The SU(3) group is complicated enough to illustrate features of the general case. It should not be confused with the color SU}(3) of quantum chromodynamics where the fundamental spinors, the quark fields, are SU(3) triplets rather than octets.

description: We investigate the role of partonic degrees of freedom in high multiplicity p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 5.02 TeV carried out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by studying the production and collective flow of identified hadrons at intermediate $p_T$ via the coalescence of soft and hard partons generated from viscous hydrodynamics (VISH2+1) and the energy loss model (LBT), respectively. We find that combining the intermediate $p_T$ hadrons from the coalescence with the low $p_T$ hadrons from hydrodynamics and high $p_T$ hadrons from the jet fragmentation, our Hydro-Coal-Frag model provides a nice description of the measured $p_T$-spectra and the differential elliptic flow $v_2(p_T)$ of pions, kaons and protons over the $p_T$ range from 0 to 6 GeV. We further demonstrate the necessity of including the quark coalescence contribution to reproduce the experimentally observed approximate number of constituent quark scaling of hadron $v_2$ at intermediate $p_T$. Our results thus indicate the importance of partonic degrees of freedom and also hint at the possible formation of quark-gluon plasma in high multiplicity p+Pb collisions at the LHC.

description: Galaxy clusters can be detected as surface brightness enhancements in smoothed optical surveys. This method does not require individual galaxies to be identifiable, and enables clusters to be detected out to surprisingly high redshifts, as recently demonstrated by the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey (LCDCS). Here, we investigate redshift limits for cluster detection in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Calibrating assumptions about the surface brightness profile, the mass-to-light ratio, and the spectral energy distribution of galaxy clusters using available observational data, we show that it should be possible to detect galaxy groups out to redshifts of ~0.5, and massive galaxy clusters out to redshifts of ~1.2 in summed r'+i'+z' SDSS data. Redshift estimates can be derived from the SDSS magnitudes of brightest cluster members out to redshifts near unity. Over the area of sky it covers, SDSS should find >~98% of the clusters detectable by the Planck satellite through the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. The few Planck clusters not detected in SDSS will almost all be at z>~1.2.

description: Although government introduced improved breeds of poultry in government poultry farms for multiplication and distribution to village people in 1935, but commercial poultry production has been started from 1980s in Bangladesh. The growth of poultry industry over the years in Bangladesh is examined in this article. The expansion of poultry farming leads to the development of many allied industries such as breeder farms, hatcheries, feed mills, equipment factories, processing plants and pharmaceutical companies. The upward trend of growth rate of livestock sector is attributed to growth of poultry farms. Over the years the contribution of agricultural sector to GDP is declined but the share of livestock to agriculture sector increased. Per capita consumption of egg increased from 21 in 1995 to 59 in 2004 - 2005.The numbers of all allied industries have been increasing. The growth of population, change in income and food habit, and a bit awareness of the consumers about health indicates a bright prospect for the poultry industry in Bangladesh. Government policy for the development of poultry industry in the country is essential.

description: This study was conducted to examine the profitability of the investors of power thresher and pedal thresher in the Kasba Upazila in Brahmanbaria district. For this, sixty thresher owners in which 8 were closed drum power threshers, 17 open drum power threshers and 35 pedal threshers, were purposively selected for the study. The method of projects appraisal suggested by Gittinger (1994) was followed by applying three principal discounting measures such as: BCR, NPV and IRR to measure the profitability of the selected thresher owners. Only financial analyses were done. The discount rate selected for the study was only 13 per cent and 10 years life was considered for each of the selected threshers. It was evident from the study that the investment in closed drum power thresher was more profitable than both the open drum and pedal thresher from the viewpoints of individual investors. The results of sensitivity analyses suggested that the investment in pedal thresher was a bit risky business with 10 per cent increase in O& M costs or 10 per cent reduction in gross benefits, if other things remain the same.

description: The study estimated potato demand elasticities in Bangladesh by using AIDS model with corrected Stone price index. The income elasticity of demand for potato was 0.632. The compensated and uncompensated own price elasticities indicated that all food items were price inelastic. The estimated own price elasticity indicated that if the potato price fell by 10 per cent, demand for potato would increase by 8.82 percent. The estimates of cross price elasticities indicated that the substitution effects of price change were not quite strong. Therefore, government price interventions may not lead to considerable price repercussions in the economy.

description: The study tried to find out appropriate models using seven contemporary model selection criteria that could best describe the growth pattern of rice production in Bangladesh and in its foil regions (former divisions) Chittagong, Dhaka. Khulna and Rajshahi during the time period 1973/74 to 2000/01. It appeared from the study that the best fitting model for rice production in the whole country and in Dhaka was the cubic model. For Chittagong the quadratic model was the best. It means that the assumption of constant annual rate of growth in percent that lies behind the use of exponential/compound model, which was very common to use in describing growth pattern, was not true for the growth pattern of rice production in the country as a whole and also in its two regions Dhaka and Chittagong. In other words, in these regions and in the country as a whole the growth rates were different over different time points. The variation of the growth rate in the country as a whole was 1.38 to 5.76 percent, in Dhaka -1.09 to 13.01 percent and in Chittagong 0.92 to 2.06 percent during the study period. In Khulna and Rajshahi regions the exponential/compound model seemed to be appropriate. The rice production in Khulna grew at the constant rate of 2.6 percent, on the average, per year and in Rajshahi at the rate of 3.3 percent throughout the study period. Five-year forecasts were also made for each of the four regions and for the country as a whole using the best fitted models.

description: We use the generalized squeezed state description in the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau theory. Multiplicity distributions of the squeezed states are studied at second-order phase transition at different squeeze factors. It is shown that the normalized factorial moments exhibit a specific behaviour as functions of the resolution scale. We obtain the values of the scaling exponent which coincides with experimental data at small squeeze factor.

ARE COMMERCIAL BANKS PREJUDICED AGAINST THE POOR?

Year: 2004
Subjects: Agricultural Finance

description: Microcredit-microfinance revolution is founded on an overwhelming accusation: Conventional banks are prejudiced against the poor, the poor women in particular. This paper examines this popular accusation and argues that its conceptual foundation is weak. First, because commercial banks and microcredit NGOs have differing mandate and motivation, their social roles are not directly comparable. Second, providing loans to micro-entrepreneurs requires special skills as well as a special frame of mind. Commercial bankers may not have this kind of employees due to the nature of their business. Third, the microfinance theory suffers from academic soundness because it is founded on value-laden terms. Fourth, characterizing commercial bankers as anti-poor is professionally unfair. Fifth, holding orthodox economics responsible for poverty creation in the developing world contradicts the reality. Sixth, the criticisms that the para-statal agencies have failed to 'ignite the tires of subsidised agricultural development' are too hasty. Finally, the distinction that microfinance theory makes between commercial bankers and micro-lenders, concerning profit-maximization, has created a new puzzle in microeconomic theory.
Charcot identifies and illustrates amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

description: Jean-Martin Charcot described what he called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in his 12th and 13th lessons published in 1873 by Bourneville. He distinguished the symptoms that were related to the lesion of the anterior horn of the spinal cord and those that were due to the degeneration (that he named “sclerosis”) of its lateral column. He thought that “inflammation” progressed from the lateral column to the anterior horn (but the term inflammation is not to be taken in the current meaning): the lesion of the anterior horn was thus “deuteropathic”. An album containing drawings made by Charcot is kept in La Salpêtrière Neuropathology Department. Four drawings are pasted on one of its pages, showing the degeneration of the pyramidal tract. They constitute the original of the engravings illustrating Charcot’s 12th lesson. The illustration of the fascicular atrophy of the adductor pollicis presented in the album does not appear in the lessons, even though this alteration is widely discussed and linked to the lesion of the anterior horn, which was supposed to ensure the “nutrition” of the muscle. The technique used by Charcot and his interpretation of the microscopic pictures, as exposed in his lessons, are discussed.

description: As artificial intelligence, climate imperatives, and platform capitalism converge in 2025, the global labor landscape is undergoing profound transformation—exposing the inadequacy of traditional labor law frameworks. This article critically examines the legal vacuum surrounding emerging forms of work: algorithmic management, platform labor, transnational telework, and green transition-induced displacement. Drawing from global jurisprudence, ILO instruments, and African legal systems, the article argues for a recalibration of international labor law to reflect the realities of digital precarity, jurisdictional ambiguity, and environmental restructuring. Through a cross-continental lens, the analysis highlights how workers—particularly in the Global South—are rendered stateless in law, surveilled in practice, and excluded from both economic gains and legal protections. The article proposes legally binding reforms at multilateral and regional levels, advocating for algorithmic accountability, cross-border worker rights, and climate-integrated labor protections. Ultimately, it calls for a new legal compact—one that centers dignity and justice in the evolving architecture of global work.

We show numerically that the Abelian Higgs field equations in the background of a four-dimensional black string have vortex solutions. These solutions which have axial symmetry, show that the black string can support the Abelian Higgs field as hair. This situation holds also in the case of the extremal black string. We also consider the self-gravity of the Abelian Higgs field and show that the effect of the vortex is to induce a deficit angle in the metric under consideration.

We find that both populations are present in the current sample and have similar abundances, and discuss the uncertainties in this result. Galactic stars comprise about 9% of the objects. The starburst galaxies of the present sample are found to give a contribution to the cosmic star formation density similar to the Lyman-break galaxies.

description: Background: In some people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), a-synuclein (αSyn) accumulation may begin in the enteric nervous system (ENS) decades before development of brain pathology and disease diagnosis. Objective: To determine how different types and severity of intestinal inflammation could trigger αSyn accumulation in the ENS and the subsequent development of αSyn brain pathology. Methods: We assessed the effects of modulating short- and long-term experimental colitis on αSyn accumulation in the gut of αSyn transgenic and wild type mice by immunostaining and gene expression analysis. To determine the long-term effect on the brain, we induced dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) colitis in young αSyn transgenic mice and aged them under normal conditions up to 9 or 21 months before tissue analyses. Results: A single strong or sustained mild DSS colitis triggered αSyn accumulation in the submucosal plexus of wild type and αSyn transgenic mice, while short-term mild DSS colitis or inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide did not have such an effect. Genetic and pharmacological modulation of macrophage-associated pathways modulated the severity of enteric αSyn. Remarkably, experimental colitis at three months of age exacerbated the accumulation of aggregated phospho-Serine 129 αSyn in the midbrain (including the substantia nigra), in 21- but not 9-month-old αSyn transgenic mice. This increase in midbrain αSyn accumulation is accompanied by the loss of tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive nigral neurons. Conclusions: Our data suggest that specific types and severity of intestinal inflammation, mediated by monocyte/macrophage signaling, could play a critical role in the initiation and progression of PD.

 Capulinia Signoret, 1875: 27–28. Type species Capulinia sallei Signoret 1875: 28–29.
 Generic diagnosis. Adult female (Fig. 9). On leaves of host, secreting an extraordinarily long ovisac. Body apparently globular; derm entirely membranous, all segmentation apparently absent. Dorsum. Setae finely spinose, sparse. Macrotubular ducts absent. Microtubular ducts highly varied, of possibly 3 or 4 types: a long thin duct immediately around anus, a larger and broader duct forming a complete band around abdomen on about abdominal segment IV; a duct somewhat similar to first type but very sparse throughout dorsum and another somewhat like second type but pore apparently 8-shaped, sparse. Loculate pores absent. Anal lobes possibly totally absent. Anal ring probably with a partially sclerotised ring. Margin. Undefined. Venter. Setae setose. Macrotubular ducts absent. Microtubular ducts similar to first 3 types on dorsum, sparse. Loculate pores mainly with 4–6 loculi, restricted to near each spiracle. Antennae 1 or 2 segmented. Frontal lobes and antennal tubercles absent. Number of labial segments unknown. Legs very much reduced; those anteriorly merely membranous lobes, metathoracic legs showing slight signs of segmentation but segmentation obscure and setae absent. Hind legs positioned very far posteriorly, therefore abdomen probably small; translucent pores absent. Vulva not detected.
Known only from Myrtaceae.
 Comment: Capulinia contains 4 species, 1 (C. orbiculata Hoy) from New Zealand, the type species (C. sallei) from Cuba and Mexico, and 2 species (C. crateraformis Hempel and C. jaboticabae Ihering) from Brazil. Capulinia differs from all other South American eriococcid genera in having the hind legs modified into membranous lobes that are located near the posterior apex of the abdomen. Opisthoscelis also has enlarged hind legs located near the posterior apex of the abdomen but these 2 genera differ as follows: Capulinia has (Opisthoscelis character states in parentheses): (i) numerous microtubular ducts forming a circle around the anal opening (without microtubular ducts); (ii) loculate pores restricted to spiracular area (scattered around anal area); and (iii) hind legs smaller than length of labium (hind legs much longer than labium). There are significant differences between C. sallei, the type species of Capulinia, and the other species currently placed in this genus.

description: It has been argued by Witten and others that in the presence of a nontrivial B-field, D-brane charges in type IIB string theories are measured by twisted K-theory. In joint work with Bouwknegt, Carey and Murray it was proved that twisted K-theory is canonically isomorphic to bundle gerbe K-theory, whose elements are ordinary vector bundles on a principal projective unitary bundle, with an action of the bundle gerbe determined by the principal projective unitary bundle. The principal projective unitary bundle is in turn determined by the twist. In this paper, we study in more detail the Chern-Weil representative of the Chern character of bundle gerbe K-theory that was introduced previously, and we also extend it to the equivariant and holomorphic cases. Included is a discussion of interesting examples.

description: Estimating the expectation value of an operator corresponding to an observable is a fundamental task in quantum computation. It is often impossible to obtain such estimates directly, as the computer is restricted to measuring in a fixed computational basis. One common solution splits the operator into a weighted sum of Pauli operators and measures each separately, at the cost of many measurements. An improved version collects mutually commuting Pauli operators together before measuring all operators within a collection simultaneously. The effectiveness of doing this depends on two factors. Firstly, we must understand the improvement offered by a given arrangement of Paulis in collections. In our work, we propose two natural metrics for quantifying this, operating under the assumption that measurements are distributed optimally among collections so as to minimise the overall finite sampling error. Motivated by the mathematical form of these metrics, we introduce SORTED INSERTION, a collecting strategy that exploits the weighting of each Pauli operator in the overall sum. Secondly, to measure all Pauli operators within a collection simultaneously, a circuit is required to rotate them to the computational basis. In our work, we present two efficient circuit constructions that suitably rotate any collection of $k$ independent commuting $n$-qubit Pauli operators using at most $kn-k(k+1)/2$ and $O(kn/\log k)$ two-qubit gates respectively. Our methods are numerically illustrated in the context of the Variational Quantum Eigensolver, where the operators in question are molecular Hamiltonians. As measured by our metrics, SORTED INSERTION outperforms four conventional greedy colouring algorithms that seek the minimum number of collections.

description: Carpochloroides Cockerell
 Carpochloroides Cockerell, 1899: 12. Type species Carpochloroides viridis Cockerell, 1899: 12–13.
 Generic diagnosis. Adult female (Fig. 12). Body globular. Derm membranous, without visible segmentation but with large faint reticulations. Dorsum. Setae finely spinose, very sparse. Macrotubular ducts absent. Microtubular ducts small, mainly present in centre of each reticulation. Loculate pores each with mainly 3–5 loculi, with 1 per reticulation, present over a broad area anterior to anal ring. Anal lobes absent. Median plate absent. Anus with a sclerotised ring without setae or pores. Margin. Undefined. Venter. Setae similar to those on dorsum, sparse. Macrotubular ducts absent. Microtubular ducts longer and narrower than those on dorsum, frequent throughout. Loculate pores similar to those on dorsum; exact distribution uncertain but associated with each spiracle and elsewhere on at least thorax. Cruciform pores absent. Antennae apparently 1 segmented. Frontal lobes and antennal tubercles both absent. Mouthparts with a pair of large apodemes arising from tentorial box, at least on old adults. Labium probably 2 segmented. Spiracles large. Pro- and mesothoracic legs absent; metathoracic legs represented by a pair of short membranous protuberances; translucent pores absent. Position of vulva unclear.
Known only from Myrtaceae.
 Comment. Carpochloroides currently contains 2 species, C. mexicanus Ferris from Mexico and the type species from Brazil. We have only examined the type species. Carpochloroides is similar to some other genera of South American eriococcids such as Capulinia and Apiococcus but differs in having the following combination of characters: (i) enlarged apodemes attached to the tentorial box (also present on Aculeococcus and Tectococcus – but see “Comment” under the adult female below); (ii) a reticulate pattern on the derm, each reticulation with a pore or duct in its center, and (iii) reduction of the antennae to either a indistinct tubercle or completely absent. According to Gullan et al. (2005), only C. mexicanus induces galls; in this case, on the petioles.

Brane-localized Kinetic Terms in the Randall-Sundrum Model

description: We examine the effects of boundary kinetic terms in the Randall-Sundrum model with gauge fields in the bulk. We derive the resulting gauge Kaluza-Klein (KK) state wavefunctions and their corresponding masses, as well as the KK gauge field couplings to boundary fermions, and find that they are modified in the presence of the boundary terms. In particular, for natural choices of the parameters, these fermionic couplings can be substantially suppressed compared to those in the conventional Randall-Sundrum scenario. This results in a significant relaxation of the bound on the lightest gauge KK mass obtained from precision electroweak data; we demonstrate that this bound can be as low as a few hundred GeV. Due to the relationship between the lightest gauge KK state and the electroweak scale in this model, this weakened constraint allows for the electroweak scale to be near a TeV in this minimal extension of the Randall-Sundrum model with bulk gauge fields, as opposed to the conventional scenario.

description: We report on analysis of englacial radio-frequency (RF) pulser data received over horizontal baselines of 1--5 km, based on broadcasts from two sets of transmitters deployed to depths of up to 1500 meters at the South Pole. First, we analyze data collected usingtwo RF bicone transmitters 1400 meters below the ice surface, and frozen into boreholes drilled for the IceCube experiment in 2011. Additionally, in Dec., 2018, a fat-dipole antenna, fed by one of three high-voltage (~1 kV), fast (~(1-5 ns)) signal generators was lowered into the 1700-m deep icehole drilled for the South Pole Ice Core Experiment (SPICE), approximately 3 km from the geographic South Pole. Signals from transmitters were recorded on the five englacial multi-receiver ARA stations, with receiver depths between 60--200 m. We confirm the long, >1 km RF electric field attenuation length, test our observed signal arrival timing distributions against models, and measure birefringent asymmetries at the 0.15% level.

Praocis sellata bruchi Kulzer, 1958: 61.
Praocis sellata topali Kaszab, 1964: 358. NEW SYNONYMY.
Type material. Paratypes of Praocis sellata bruchi (Fig. 1): [Santa Cruz/ Bruch leg] [Paratypus / Praocis sellata / bruchi m./ H. Kulzer 1957] (HNHM); [Patag.(onia) Bahia/ de las Nodales/ Dade leg] [Paratypus / Praocis sellata / bruchi m./ H. Kulzer 1957] (FMNH).
Holotype of Praocis sellata topali (Fig. 2): [S. Arg. Rio Negro/ Norquinco, Topál] [Nr. 238/ 22.I.1961] [Holotypus 1964/ Praocis (Hemi -/ praocis) sellata / ssp. topali / ssp. nov. Kaszab] (HNHM).
Discussion. Kaszab (1964) described Praocis sellata topali based upon a single specimen from Ñorquinco, Rio Negro, Western Patagonia (Argentina). After studying the type specimens of subspecies of Praocis sellata, we found that P. sellata topali is a synonym with P. sellata bruchi based on the characters shared by both nominal subspecies: clypeus sparsely punctured, with sparse setae, with two depressions in anterior angles; frons with sparse punctures; pronotum shiny, disc smooth, lateral quarters with small, sparse punctures; elytron with a main carina raised, lacking secondary carinae, lateral margin carina-shaped. According to Kaszab (1964), P. sellata topali only differs from Praocis sellata bruchi by having the elytral area between main carinae and suture less concave and smooth. We conclude that in this subspecies the elytral surface between main carinae and suture is either smooth or with few protuberances, and the concavity may vary between individuals. This was also confirmed after studying abundant material of P. sellata bruchi (Appendix 1). New and constant characters are used in the key to the five subspecies of Praocis (Hemipraocis) sellata presented below.

description: The growing use of Machine Learning has produced significant advances in many fields. For image-based tasks, however, the use of deep learning remains challenging in small datasets. In this article, we review, evaluate and compare the current state-of-the-art techniques in training neural networks to elucidate which techniques work best for small datasets. We further propose a path forward for the improvement of model accuracy in medical imaging applications. We observed best results from one cycle training, discriminative learning rates with gradual freezing and parameter modification after transfer learning. We also established that when datasets are small, transfer learning plays an important role beyond parameter initialization by reusing previously learned features. Surprisingly we observed that there is little advantage in using pre-trained networks in images from another part of the body compared to Imagenet. On the contrary, if images from the same part of the body are available then transfer learning can produce a significant improvement in performance with as little as 50 images in the training data.
Parameter-free hybrid functional based on an extended Hubbard model: DFT+U+V

description: In this article, we propose an energy functional at the level of DFT+U+V that allows us to compute self-consistently the values of the on-site interaction, Hubbard U and Hund J, as well as the intersite interaction V. This functional extends the previously proposed ACBN0 functional [Phys. Rev. X 5, 011006 (2015)] including both on-site and intersite interactions. We show that this ab initio self-consistent functional yields improved electronic properties for a wide range of materials, ranging from $sp$ materials to strongly-correlated materials. This functional can also be seen as an alternative general and systematic way to construct parameter-free hybrid functionals, based on the extended Hubbard model and a selected set of Coulomb integrals, and might be used to develop novel approximations. By extending the DFT+U method to materials where strong local and nonlocal interactions are relevant, this work opens the door to the ab initio study the electronic, ionic, and optical properties of a larger class of strongly correlated materials in and out of equilibrium.
