description: In the process of rural tourism development and planning, local features and related concepts have attracted more and more attention from scholars with the deepening of development. As one form of places, rural areas have extraordinary significance, so the participation of local residents, the integration of traditional culture and the inheritance of local features should be fully taken into account in the development of rural tourism. However, some local governments refuse to focus on local features in the process of rural tourism planning, so the planning and development of rural tourism in many places are similar and can’t reflect the unique features of local culture. Therefore, this paper takes Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County in Liaoning Province as an example, which has rich rural tourism resources and unique features, and conducts research on the tourism planning with local features from local perspective.

Roles of easy-plane and easy-axis XXZ anisotropy and bond alternation on a frustrated ferromagnetic spin-$1/2$ chain

description: The spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg chain with a ferromagnetic first-neighbor exchange coupling $J_1$ and an antiferromagnetic second-neighbor $J_2$ has a Haldane dimer ground state with an extremely small spin gap. Thus, the ground state is readily altered by perturbations. Here, we investigate the effects of XXZ exchange magnetic anisotropy of both the easy-axis and easy-plane types and an alternation in $J_1$ on the ground state, the spin gap, and magnetic properties of the frustrated ferromagnetic spin-$1/2$ chain. It is found that there are two distinct dimerized spin-gap phases, in one of which the spin gap and the magnetic susceptibility are extremely small around the SU(2) symmetric case and in the other they are moderately large far away from the SU(2) symmetric case. A small alternation in the amplitude of $J_1$ rapidly shortens the pitch of spin correlations towards the four-spin periodicity, as in the limit of $J_1/J_2\to0$. These effects are not sufficient to quantitatively explain overall experimentally observed magnetic properties in the quasi-one-dimensional spin-gapped magnetoelectric cuprate Rb$_2$Cu$_2$Mo$_3$O$_{12}$ that exhibits ferroelectricity stabilized by a magnetic field. Our results are also relevant to Cs$_2$Cu$_2$Mo$_3$O$_{12}$, where the ferromagnetic intrachain and antiferromagnetic interchain order has recently been found, in a single chain level. We also reveal the nature of symmetry-protected topological phase transitions in the model by mapping onto effective spin-1 chain models.

description: Principal component regression (PCR) is a two-stage procedure: the first stage performs principal component analysis (PCA) and the second stage constructs a regression model whose explanatory variables are replaced by principal components obtained by the first stage. Since PCA is performed by using only explanatory variables, the principal components have no information about the response variable. To address the problem, we propose a one-stage procedure for PCR in terms of singular value decomposition approach. Our approach is based upon two loss functions, a regression loss and a PCA loss, with sparse regularization. The proposed method enables us to obtain principal component loadings that possess information about both explanatory variables and a response variable. An estimation algorithm is developed by using alternating direction method of multipliers. We conduct numerical studies to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

description: It is important to look at many different aspects when improving sustainability in the world. Cutlery is one main concern for use in the SUB and many buildings across UBC. Plastic cutlery has been used for a long time due to its low economic costs, but it also generates a lot of waste to landfills. The purpose of this report is to find material that is suitable to replace the plastic cutlery. It will focus on 3 reusable materials for replacing plastic cutlery used in UBC. They are bamboo, stainless steel, and plant starch. Each material is covered in-depth from research through several articles and sources. The three materials are compared by using triple-bottom line assessment. It was found that stainless steel is very durable, but it came with a high price. It also damages the local environment due to the waste it generates at the end of its life cycle. Plant starch is reusable and it is quite cheap; however, it is not as durable compared to bamboo and stainless steel. Furthermore, its plastic-like appearance may cause some concerns from consumers who would question the reusability. Over all, bamboo is the most suitable material because it’s environmentally friendly, economically practical, and socially acceptable. Bamboo is a type of grass, so it does not need to be reseeded after its initial planting. Bamboo also produces 40% more oxygen than trees, which reduce the CO₂ in the air. Bamboo cutlery is reusable and completely biodegradable.

description: Supernovae and cooling neutron stars have long been used to constrain the properties of axions, such as their mass and interactions with nucleons and other Standard Model particles. We investigate the prospects of using neutron star mergers as a similar location where axions can be probed in the future. We examine the impact axions would have on mergers, considering both the possibility that they free-stream through the dense nuclear matter and the case where they are trapped. We calculate the mean free path of axions in merger conditions, and find that they would free-stream through the merger in all thermodynamic conditions. In contrast to previous calculations, we integrate over the entire phase space while using a relativistic treatment of the nucleons, assuming the matrix element is momentum-independent. In particular, we use a relativistic mean field theory to describe the nucleons, taking into account the precipitous decrease in the effective mass of the nucleons as density increases above nuclear saturation density. We find that within current constraints on the axion-neutron coupling, axions could cool nuclear matter on timescales relevant to neutron star mergers. Our results may be regarded as first steps aimed at understanding how axions affect merger simulations and potentially interface with observations.

description: In this paper, the overcharging problem and thermodynamics in the extended phase spaces of the five-dimensional spherically symmetric topological black holes are investigated by absorptions of scalar particles and fermions. The cosmological constant is regarded as a variable related to pressure and its conjugate quantity is a thermodynamic volume. The first law of thermodynamics is recovered. The second law is violated in the extended phase space of the extremal and near-extremal black holes. The overcharging problem is tested by the existence of the event horizons. The event horizon is determined by the metric component $f(r)$. The minimal values of the metric component at the final stage show that the extremal and near-extremal black holes can not be overcharged.

title: Random Effect Models in the Statistical Analysis of Human Fecundability Data: Application to artificial insemination with sperm from donor.
Creators: name: Ecochard, Rene
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: The main aim of this dissertation is to explore methodological approaches to correlated binary data and to assess their suitability for the analysis of data on human fertility. The dataset concerns a study of Artificial Insemination by Donor (AID). AID represents an unusual research opportunity to study both male and female fecundability simultaneously. In each attempt to conceive, artificial insemination is carried out in consecutive ovulatory cycles until conception or change of treatment. The probability of conception may differ between women, so that the data are discrete time survival data with censoring and between-subject heterogeneity. There is also potential heterogeneity between donors. Non-systematic allocation of the donor to recipient ensures that the same woman receives semen from several donors, This added heterogeneity as well as other cycle dependent covariates have to be taken into account. The analysis must also take account of covariates, most of them time-varying. Our dataset have a crossed hierarchical structure due to the presence of both, female and male factors. The rather complicated "design" calls for unit specific regression models. These models are presented as well as their lack of tractability except in some rather specific cases. The motivation for choosing Gaussian random effects in unit specific regression models is discussed. We demonstrate the use of an approximate inference method (Penalized Quasi Likelihood). This method is shown to be a useful and practical way of carrying out preliminary data analysis. Finally a Bayesian procedure (Gibbs sampling) provides validation and more accurate results despite the intensive computation it needs. The main substantive finding of the analysis is the unexpectedly pronounced heterogeneity of donor fecundability, even after inclusion of conventional measures of sperm quality into the model. These measures were shown to be predictive at the donor level but not at the level of individual donation.

description: We present a revised version of our automated technique using Gaussian processes (GPs) to detect Damped Lyman-$α$ absorbers (DLAs) along quasar (QSO) sightlines. The main improvement is to allow our Gaussian process pipeline to detect multiple DLAs along a single sightline. Our DLA detections are regularised by an improved model for the absorption from the Lyman-$α$ forest which improves performance at high redshift. We also introduce a model for unresolved sub-DLAs which reduces mis-classifications of absorbers without detectable damping wings. We compare our results to those of two different large-scale DLA catalogues and provide a catalogue of the processed results of our Gaussian process pipeline using 158 825 Lyman-$α$ spectra from SDSS data release 12. We present updated estimates for the statistical properties of DLAs, including the column density distribution function (CDDF), line density ($dN/dX$), and neutral hydrogen density ($Ω_{\textrm{DLA}}$).

The results derived here apply even if alpha_s(E_M Lambda) is not perturbative, and we prove that the physics sensitive to the E*Lambda scale is the same in B-> M1 M2 and B-> M form factors. We argue that c-cbar penguins could give long-distance effects at leading order. Decays to two transversely polarized vector mesons are discussed. Analyzing B-> pi pi we find predictions for B^0 -> pi^0 pi^0 and |V_{ub}| f_+(0) as a function of gamma.

description: Organizations use diverse types of security solutions to prevent cyberattacks. Multiple vendors provide security solutions developed using heterogeneous technologies and paradigms. Hence, it is a challenging rather impossible to easily make security solutions to work an integrated fashion. Security orchestration aims at smoothly integrating multivendor security tools that can effectively and efficiently interoperate to support security staff of a Security Operation Centre (SOC). Given the increasing role and importance of security orchestration, there has been an increasing amount of literature on different aspects of security orchestration solutions. However, there has been no effort to systematically review and analyze the reported solutions. We report a Multivocal Literature Review that has systematically selected and reviewed both academic and grey (blogs, web pages, white papers) literature on different aspects of security orchestration published from January 2007 until July 2017. The review has enabled us to provide a working definition of security orchestration and classify the main functionalities of security orchestration into three main areas: unification, orchestration, and automation. We have also identified the core components of a security orchestration platform and categorized the drivers of security orchestration based on technical and socio-technical aspects. We also provide a taxonomy of security orchestration based on the execution environment, automation strategy, deployment type, mode of task and resource type. This review has helped us to reveal several areas of further research and development in security orchestration.

description: Spectroscopic redshift extraction is an expensive process. In this work, we have attempted to extract redshift information solely from the X-ray AGN spectra by employing an automated method. For this purpose, we have used highly quality NuSTAR hard X-ray spectra to obtain a set of models that best represent the X-ray spectral shape of AGN. We have used UXCLUMPY, a relatively new clumpy torus model that allows for self-consistent multi-wavelength analyses. The models were then used to simulate spectra with Athena WFI response matrices in the redshift range of 1 - 4, Luminosity LX (2−10keV) = 1 x 10^44 , 5 × 10^44 , 1 x 10^45 erg/s and exposure time of 1 Ms. These simulated spectra were then passed on to a classical automated redshift estimating algorithm to recover the redshifts. Our preliminary results show that redshifts can be recovered within 5% for upto 50% of the sample simulations.

description: Decision trees are popular Classification and Regression tools and, when small-sized, easy to interpret. Traditionally, a greedy approach has been used to build the trees, yielding a very fast training process; however, controlling sparsity (a proxy for interpretability) is challenging. In recent studies, optimal decision trees, where all decisions are optimized simultaneously, have shown a better learning performance, especially when oblique cuts are implemented. In this paper, we propose a continuous optimization approach to build sparse optimal classification trees, based on oblique cuts, with the aim of using fewer predictor variables in the cuts as well as along the whole tree. Both types of sparsity, namely local and global, are modeled by means of regularizations with polyhedral norms. The computational experience reported supports the usefulness of our methodology. In all our data sets, local and global sparsity can be improved without harming classification accuracy. Unlike greedy approaches, our ability to easily trade in some of our classification accuracy for a gain in global sparsity is shown.

description: Event logs recorded during the execution of business processes constitute a valuable source of information. Applying process mining techniques to them, event logs may reveal the actual process execution and enable reasoning on quantitative or qualitative process properties. However, event logs often contain sensitive information that could be related to individual process stakeholders through background information and cross-correlation. We therefore argue that, when publishing event logs, the risk of such re-identification attacks must be considered. In this paper, we show how to quantify the re-identification risk with measures for the individual uniqueness in event logs. We also report on a large-scale study that explored the individual uniqueness in a collection of publicly available event logs. Our results suggest that potentially up to all of the cases in an event log may be re-identified, which highlights the importance of privacy-preserving techniques in process mining.

description: We study the unitary dynamics of randomly or quasi-periodically driven tilted Bose-Hubbard (tBH) model in one dimension deep inside its Mott phase starting from a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry-broken state. The randomness is implemented via a telegraph noise protocol in the drive period while the quasi-periodic drive is chosen to correspond to a Thue-Morse sequence. The periodically driven tBH model (with a square pulse protocol characterized by a time period $T$) is known to exhibit transitions from dynamical regimes with long-time coherent oscillations to those with rapid thermalization. Here we show that starting from a regime where the periodic drive leads to rapid thermalization, a random drive, which consists of a random sequence of square pulses with period $T+αdT$, where $α=\pm 1$ is a random number and $dT$ is the amplitude of the noise, restores long-time coherent oscillations for special values of $dT$. A similar phenomenon can be seen for a quasi-periodic drive following a Thue-Morse sequence where such coherent behavior is shown to occur for a larger number of points in the $(T, dT)$ plane due to the additional structure of the drive protocol. We chart out the dynamics of the system in the presence of such aperiodic drives, provide a qualitative analytical understanding of this phenomenon, point out the role of quantum scars behind it, and discuss experiments which can test our theory.

 Ecological Notes: both specimens were found inside inhabited houses, as it is the rule for most populations in the West Indies (Armas, 1976a; Teruel, 2009).
 Comments: this scorpion is native from the Indian subcontinent, but due to a markedly synanthropic habit, it has been widely dispersed through the world and became cosmopolitan (Fet & Lowe, 2000).
 Its occurrence in Sint Eustatius was first recorded by Armas (1976a) on the basis of an adult male and female collected near Oranjestad, in early 1942, and deposited in the collection of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie at Leiden, The Netherlands. No additional records have been published since, only reproductions of this reference (e.g., Fet & Lowe, 2000). Thus, the specimens herein studied represent the first confirmation that I. maculatus still keeps a viable population in this island.

description: The nature of the fuel that drives today's cosmic acceleration is an open and tantalizing mystery. The braneworld theory of Dvali, Gabadadze, and Porrati (DGP) provides a context where late-time acceleration is driven not by some energy-momentum component (dark energy), but rather is the manifestation of the excruciatingly slow leakage of gravity off our four-dimensional world into an extra dimension. At the same time, DGP gravity alters the gravitational force law in a specific and dramatic way at cosmologically accessible scales. We derive the DGP gravitational force law in a cosmological setting for spherical perturbations at subhorizon scales and compute the growth of large-scale structure. We find that a residual repulsive force at large distances gives rise to a suppression of the growth of density and velocity perturbations. Explaining the cosmic acceleration in this framework leads to a present day fluctuation power spectrum normalization sigma_8 <= 0.8 at about the two-sigma level, in contrast with observations. We discuss further theoretical work necessary to go beyond our approximations to confirm these results.

TYPE LOCALITY AND TYPE REPOSITORY. Sudan, Duroor, 60 miles N of Suakin; BMNH.
 TYPE MATERIAL EXAMINED. Sudan, Duroor, 60 miles N of Suakin, 1♀ A (holotype), BMNH No. 1894.11.2.39.
DIAGNOSIS: First to fourth metasomal segments ventrally with two median carinae and granulated. Fifth metasomal segment ventrally with median carina and granulated. Metasoma very thin. Length to width ratio of fourth metasomal segment higher than 1.6. Movable fingers bear 6 rows of granules, usually with internal and external granules. Chela of pedipalp dorsally smooth, without strong carinae.
 DISTRIBUTION. Sudan (Pocock, 1895: 315). Birula (1917: 215) listed this species for Somalia without any precise data. Since its taxonomic position is questionable and it can be easily confused with other species, namely of the genus Butheolus, I consider its occurrence unproven also in Djibouti (Moriggi, 1941: 91).

An investigation into Pavegen energy generating steps at the new Student Union Building
Creators: name: Epp, Ryan
name: Bal, Gagan
name: Bhogal, Jitesh
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of this report is to evaluate the feasibility of installing Pavegen energy generating steps in the second level entrance of the new Student Union Building (SUB) at the University of British Columbia (UBC). After researching academic papers, peer review articles, and consulting online public opinion, a triple bottom line assessment is performed in order to assess the potential short and long term social, environmental, and economic implications of the proposed project. Pavegen steps harvest kinetic energy from people walking on a slab, and convert it into electricity that can be stored or used for a variety of different applications. The fundamental component of a Pavegen slab is a piezoelectric material that generates electricity when it is compressed. Potential social impacts are predominately positive, among which include the strong possibility of creating awareness of sustainable energy usage. In addition, installing the steps would be the only known installation of piezoelectric slabs in the lower mainland, the technology would significantly stand out as unique for the local geographical area, and thus creating more social awareness of UBC’s efforts to reach its green initiative. Subsequently, there are no foreseeable significant environmental problems with installing the steps, as manufacturing is done with recycled materials, and transportation is done through lower carbon footprint methods. However, evaluating the installation cost shows that the steps are not economically viable, but at the same time, there is not enough information or in depth calculations to provide a sufficiently strong reason to rule out the installation of the steps based on issues of associated costs. Based on the triple bottom line assessment, it is recommended that the Pavegen steps be installed at the new SUB, as the potential positive social and environmental impacts outweigh the foreseeable costs associated with purchasing and maintaining the product.

description: With the development of deep neural networks, digital fake paintings can be generated by various style transfer algorithms.To detect the fake generated paintings, we analyze the fake generated and real paintings in Fourier frequency domain and observe statistical differences and artifacts. Based on our observations, we propose Fake Generated Painting Detection via Frequency Analysis (FGPD-FA) by extracting three types of features in frequency domain. Besides, we also propose a digital fake painting detection database for assessing the proposed method. Experimental results demonstrate the excellence of the proposed method in different testing conditions.

description: We connect two different generalizations of Boltzmann's kinetic theory by requiring the same stationary solution. Non-extensive statistics can be produced by either using corresponding collision rates nonlinear in the one-particle densities or equivalently by using nontrivial energy composition rules in the energy conservation constraint. Direct transformation formulas between key functions of the two approaches are given.

description: We measure the horizontal ($|\cos(θ_z)|<0.14$) neutrino-induced muon flux in Soudan 2 to be $4.01\pm 0.50\pm 0.30\times 10^{-13} $cm$^{-2}$sr$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. From the absence of horizontal muons with large energy loss, we set a limit on the flux of muon neutrinos from Active Galactic Nuclei.

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The classical action of a two dimensional N=2 supersymmetric theory, characterized by a general Kähler potential, is written down on a non(anti)commutative superspace. The action has a power series expansion in terms of the determinant of the non(anti)commutativity parameter $C^{αβ}$. The theory is explicitly shown to preserve half of the N=2 supersymmetry, to all orders in (det C)^n. The results are further generalized to include arbitrary superpotentials as well.

description: Two predictions are made for properties of the ferromagnetic superconductors discovered recently. The first one is that spin-triplet, p-wave pairing in such materials will give the magnons a mass inversely proportional to the square of the magnetization. The second one is based on a specific mechanism for p-wave pairing, and predicts that the observed broad anomaly in the specific heat of URhGe will be resolved into a split transition with increasing sample quality. These predictions will help discriminate between different possible mechanisms for ferromagnetic superconductivity.

Unpacking the prevalence: A warning against overstating the recently narrowed gap for Black autistic youth

Recent findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network's 2020 prevalence report indicate that disparities in autism diagnoses between Black and White youth have narrowed, reflecting improved screening, awareness, and access to services (Maenner et al., 2023. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Surveillance Summaries (Washington, D.C.: 2002), 72, 1-14.). Claims of reducing disparities beyond prevalence rates, however, are not fully supported, as indicated by the reality that Black youth whose screenings indicate autistic traits are still not being referred for full evaluation or early intervention services at the same rate as their White peers (Major et al., 2020. Autism, 24, 1629-1638; Smith et al., 2020. Pediatrics, 145, S35-S46.). Black 8-year-olds identified as autistic still experience disparate educational placements (Waitoller et al., 2010. The Journal of Special Education. 44, 29-49.) where services may not be autism-specific or have Individual Education Plan goals only focused on "behavior problems" (Severini et al., 2018. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48, 3261-3272.), are served in the most restrictive environments (Skiba et al., 2006. Exceptional Children, 72, 411-424.) and lack consistent augmentative and alternative communication support (Pope et al., 2022. American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 31, 2159-2174.). Additionally, ADMM researchers report consistent disparities in the identification of co-occurring intellectual disability where Black autistic children have significantly more co-occurrences than White autistic children. The purpose of this commentary is to first examine the assertion that the narrowed gap indicates, "…improved…access to services among historically underserved groups," (p. 9) (Maenner et al., 2023. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Surveillance Summaries (Washington, D.C.: 2002), 72, 1-14.). We will then recommend strategies to address the ongoing disparities.
Jet substructure modification probes the QGP resolution length

description: We show the sensitivity of groomed jet substructure measurements to the finite resolution power of the QGP to disentangle multiple energetic partons, as produced by QCD jets, that traverse it simultaneously. We illustrate these effects by studying Soft Dropped observables within a hybrid strong/weak coupling model for jet-medium interactions. By analysing Monte-Carlo-generated jet data in heavy ion collisions, we show that the angular structure of these type of observables is sensitive to the value of the QGP resolution length.

Shapes of the Person-Case Constraint: Gluttony, conflicts, and licensing of person
Creators: name: Rezac, Milan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019
Subjects: PCC

description: These remarks discuss certain properties of the Person Case Constraint (PCC) in relationship to other person-hierarchic argument interactions, and to other person-sensitive gaps in clitics and agreement. They address recent proposals of considerable theoretical interest: multiple Agree in lieu of rather than combined with interpretable person licensing, with consequences for conditions on matching by nontrivial phi-probes (section 1, drawing on cyclic agreement and indirective-secundative alignments); agreement conflicts versus person-licensing failures, and ways to escape them (section 2, on nonagreeing clauses and on portmanteaus); clitic clusters as constitutive of the PCC (section 3, on extensions of the PCC in systems with chiefly the clitic-cluster PCC); and variants of the PCC as parametrisations of Agree versus invariant Agree plus mechanisms specific to pronouns or their clusters (section 4, on distribution, systematicity, and repairability of the strong versus weak PCC). The discussion aims to bring out domains that motivate or challenge particular proposals, ways of meeting the challenges, and their commitments. The remarks are framed in part as a commentary on Coon and Keine (2019) [C&K], beginning with its development of and departures from Béjar and Rezac (2009) [B&R], and avail themselves of C&K's synthesis to address elements of recent syntactic analyses of the PCC, including Stegovec (2019); Preminger (2011, 2014, 2019); Anagnostopoulou (2005, 2017); Nevins (2007, 2011); Baker (2008, 2011); Béjar (2011); Rezac (2011); Sheehan (2019).
A Bayesian Approach to the Vertical Structure of the Disk of the Milky Way

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: This work investigates the vertical profile of the stars in the disk of the Milky Way. The models investigated are of the form $sech^{2/n}(nz/(2H))$ where, setting $α= 2/n$, the three functions of the sequence $α= 0,1,2$ correspond to exponential, $sech$, $sech^2$ functions. We consider symmetric models and asymmetric models, above and below the plane. The study uses the large sample of K and M stars of Ferguson et al. (2017) and applies the methods of Bayesian model comparison to discriminate between the 6 models. Two inconsistencies in Ferguson et al. (2017), concerning the vertical height cut and the model continuity across the plane, are noted and addressed. We find that (1) in the Milky Way the symmetric disc models are decisively ruled out, with northern thin disc scale heights $\sim25\%$ larger than southern, (2) there is moderate evidence for the exponential and $sech$ models over the $sech^2$ model, though a sample extending further into the Galactic mid-plane is needed to strengthen this result, (3) the photometric distances used by Ferguson et al. underestimate the GAIA distances by a factor of roughly 1.16, and (4) the increase of scale height with Galactic latitude observed by Ferguson et al. is due to incorrect cuts to the data.
