description: Over the last few decades, scholarly communication is changing with the use of social media serving as an effective medium. Several new factors have emerged in the context of social media activity to accelerate the shift. The current research relied on the ResearchGate platform, an Academic Social Networking Site (ASNS), meant for scientists and scholars enabling them to share, communicate, collaborate, connect and get updated with the feeds and scholarly information. The study focused on the top 15 cited Indian researchers and their research performance on ResearchGate. The research data was collected manually and analysed using several altmetric parameters available on ResearchGate to evaluate the performance of the targeted researchers. For statistical correlation analysis, the researcher relied on JASP statistical analysis software (v. 0.16.0.0). The study findings reveal that Sujit K Bhattacharya has the maximum citations (17210) among Indian researchers on ResearchGate, accompanied by the maximum number of publications (505), the highest value of h-index (70) and Research Interests (8991). The majority of the contributions from the targeted researchers are research articles (71.95%) and 49.10% are available in full text. Researcher S G Deshmukh has asked the maximum number of questions (22), and also provide a significant number of answers (314). The publications of researcher K. M. Singh (Res. 15) received a maximum number of Read (529397), and recommendations (3179). The RG Score of S G Deshmukh is the highest (57.00) among all of the targeted researchers. Pearson’s Correlations Test among five interconnected variables calculated that among 7 different types of correlation formation, “Citations - Res. Int.” (0.920), “Publications - Res. Int.” (0.865), “RG Score - Res. Int.” (0.773), and “Publications - RG Score” (0.765) pairs possess highly positive correlation linkage. The core context of this study is helpful for the representation of India in terms of top-cited researchers and their research performance on ResearchGate. The study also promotes young researchers to disseminate their research over such ASNS platforms to increase visibility and research impact.

description: This study investigated Patagonia’s green marketing appeals on social media posts by focusing on its Worn Wear campaign. Based on content analysis on the top 100 most-liked social media posts of Instagram and Facebook, this study found that the nature appeal is the most common on both Facebook and Instagram and that the Worn Wear appeal is the least common on both Facebook and Instagram. Based on an inductive theme analysis on people’s comments on Worn Wear posts, the study found the five prominent themes: (1) personal anecdotes, (2) lessons about recycled clothing, (3) observations about material quality, (4) suggestions for improving Worn Wear, and (5) broader societal implications. From these findings, this study suggests that Patagonia increase the number of posts highlighting Worn Wear, include posts with personal stories describing individuals who have used Worn Wear products, and interact with individuals who comment on the posts to answer questions about Worn Wear and provide more details. In the future, investigative studies could look into why certain posts performed better in terms of engagement than others.

description: Актуальность темы конституционных основ местного самоуправления существенно возрастает, в связи с тем, что на органы государственной власти в нынешнее время ложится колоссальная нагрузка и поэтому органы местного самоуправления призваны не только облегчить ношу государственных органов, но и повысить уровень правовой культуры граждан. В демократических государствах организация и осуществление власти базируется на принципе разделения властей, который сочетается с принципом местного самоуправления. Именно принцип местного самоуправления обеспечивает наиболее пригодную и удобную систему выражения и обеспечения интересов населения на местах. В данной статье мы разберем как устроен принцип местного самоуправления, какие вопросы решает местное самоуправление и как оно взаимодействует с органами государственной власти, ведь неправильное понимание сущности местного самоуправления приводит к тому, что государство пытается переложить ответственность за определенные государственные полномочия на жителей муниципальных образований.The relevance of the topic of the constitutional foundations of local self-government is increasing significantly, due to the fact that at present the state authorities are under enormous pressure and therefore local governments are called upon not only to ease the burden of state bodies, but also to increase the level of legal culture of citizens. In democratic states, the organization and exercise of power is based on the principle of separation of powers, which is combined with the principle of local self-government. It is the principle of local self-government that provides the most suitable and convenient system of expression and ensuring the interests of the population in the field. In this article we will analyze how the principle of local self-government works, what issues local self-government decides and how it interacts with state authorities, because a misunderstanding of the essence of local self-government leads to the fact that the state is trying to shift responsibility for certain state powers to residents of municipalities.

description: The transition to renewable energy systems causes increased decentralization of the energy supply. Solar parks are built to increase renewable energy penetration and to supply local communities that become increasingly self-sufficient. These parks are generally installed in rural areas where electricity grid distribution capacity is limited. This causes the produced energy to create grid congestion. Temporary storage can be a solution. In addition to batteries, which are most suitable for intraday storage, hydrogen provides a long-term storage option and can be used to overcome seasonal mismatches in supply and demand. In this paper, we examine the operational decisions related to storing energy using hydrogen, and buying from or selling to the grid considering grid capacity limitations. We model the problem as a Markov decision process taking into account seasonal production and demand patterns, uncertain solar energy generation, and local electricity prices. We show that ignoring seasonal demand and production patterns is suboptimal. In addition, we show that the introduction of a hydrogen storage facility for a solar farm in rural areas may lead to positive profits, whereas this is loss-making without storage facilities. In a sensitivity analysis, we show that only if distribution capacity is too small, hydrogen storage does not lead to profits and reduced congestion at the cable connection. When the distribution capacity is constrained, a higher storage capacity leads to more buying-related actions from the electricity grid to prevent future shortages and to exploit price differences. This leads to more congestion at the connected cable and is an important insight for policy-makers and net-operators.

description: Sparse representation models a signal as a linear combination of a small number of dictionary atoms. As a generative model, it requires the dictionary to be highly redundant in order to ensure both a stable high sparsity level and a low reconstruction error for the signal. However, in practice, this requirement is usually impaired by the lack of labelled training samples. Fortunately, previous research has shown that the requirement for a redundant dictionary can be less rigorous if simultaneous sparse approximation is employed, which can be carried out by enforcing various structured sparsity constraints on the sparse codes of the neighboring pixels. In addition, numerous works have shown that applying a variety of dictionary learning methods for the sparse representation model can also improve the classification performance. In this paper, we highlight the task-driven dictionary learning algorithm, which is a general framework for the supervised dictionary learning method. We propose to enforce structured sparsity priors on the task-driven dictionary learning method in order to improve the performance of the hyperspectral classification. Our approach is able to benefit from both the advantages of the simultaneous sparse representation and those of the supervised dictionary learning. We enforce two different structured sparsity priors, the joint and Laplacian sparsity, on the task-driven dictionary learning method and provide the details of the corresponding optimization algorithms. Experiments on numerous popular hyperspectral images demonstrate that the classification performance of our approach is superior to sparse representation classifier with structured priors or the task-driven dictionary learning method.

description: In this paper, we revisit the problem of 3D human modeling from two orthogonal silhouettes of individuals (i.e., front and side views). Different from our prior work, a supervised learning approach based on convolutional neural network (CNN) is investigated to solve the problem by establishing a mapping function that can effectively extract features from two silhouettes and fuse them into coefficients in the shape space of human bodies. A new CNN structure is proposed in our work to exact not only the discriminative features of front and side views and also their mixed features for the mapping function. 3D human models with high accuracy are synthesized from coefficients generated by the mapping function. Existing CNN approaches for 3D human modeling usually learn a large number of parameters (from 8.5M to 355.4M) from two binary images. Differently, we investigate a new network architecture and conduct the samples on silhouettes as input. As a consequence, more accurate models can be generated by our network with only 2.4M coefficients. The training of our network is conducted on samples obtained by augmenting a publicly accessible dataset. Learning transfer by using datasets with a smaller number of scanned models is applied to our network to enable the function of generating results with gender-oriented (or geographical) patterns.

description: The geological record shows links between glacial cycles and volcanic productivity, both subaerially and at mid-ocean ridges. Sea-level-driven pressure changes could also affect chemical properties of mid-ocean ridge volcanism. We consider how changing sea-level could alter the CO2 emissions rate from mid-ocean ridges, on both the segment and global scale. We develop a simplified transport model for a highly incompatible element through a homogenous mantle; variations in the melt concentration the emission rate of the element are created by changes in the depth of first silicate melting. The model predicts an average global mid-ocean ridge CO2 emissions-rate of 53 Mt/yr, in line with other estimates. We show that falling sea level would cause an increase in ridge CO2 emissions with a lag of about 100 kyrs after the causative sea level change. The lag and amplitude of the response are sensitive to mantle permeability and plate spreading rate. For a reconstructed sea-level time series of the past million years, we predict variations of up to 12% (7 Mt/yr) in global mid-ocean ridge CO2 emissions. The magnitude and timing of the predicted variations in CO2 emissions suggests a potential role for ridge carbon emissions in glacial cycles.

description: В данной статье авторами рассмотрен вопрос о правовой природе судебной практики, определении ее места и роли в системе права Российской Федерации, а также выявлены основные проблемы соотношения судебной практики и источника права. В настоящее время существует две предпосылки для законодательного закрепления общеобязательного значения актов высших судебных органов. Труды многих ученых и практических работников посвящены теоретическому обоснованию этого вопроса. До сих пор спорным остается вопрос о признании правотворческими решений судов первой инстанции. В юридической доктрине стран романо-германской правовой системы судебная практика не является источником права. В свою очередь, в Российской Федерации, традиционно относящейся к указанной правовой семье, представляется возможным отнести судебную практику к источникам права.In this article, the authors consider the legal nature of judicial practice, determine its place and role in the system of law of the Russian Federation, and identify the main problems of correlation between judicial practice and the source of law. Currently, there are two prerequisites for legislative consolidation of the mandatory meaning of acts of the higher judicial bodies. The works of many scientists and practitioners are devoted to the theoretical justification of this issue. Until now, the issue of recognizing the decisions of the first instance courts as law-making remains controversial. In the legal doctrine of the countries of the Romano-German legal system, judicial practice is not a source of law. In turn, in the Russian Federation, which traditionally belongs to this legal family, it is possible to refer judicial practice to the sources of law.

description: This paper proposes a general modeling framework that allows for uncertainty quantification at the individual covariate level and spatial referencing, operating withing a double generalized linear model (DGLM). DGLMs provide a general modeling framework allowing dispersion to depend in a link-linear fashion on chosen covariates. We focus on working with Tweedie exponential dispersion models while considering DGLMs, the reason being their recent wide-spread use for modeling mixed response types. Adopting a regularization based approach, we suggest a class of flexible convex penalties derived from an un-directed graph that facilitates estimation of the unobserved spatial effect. Developments are concisely showcased by proposing a co-ordinate descent algorithm that jointly explains variation from covariates in mean and dispersion through estimation of respective model coefficients while estimating the unobserved spatial effect. Simulations performed show that proposed approach is superior to competitors like the ridge and un-penalized versions. Finally, a real data application is considered while modeling insurance losses arising from automobile collisions in the state of Connecticut, USA for the year 2008.

Сделан вывод о том, что для полноценного регулирования договора перевозки грузов в Гражданском кодексе РФ необходимо сделать дополнение к пункту 1 статьи 785 в виде упоминания о том, что перевозчик груза обязан доставить груз не только в указанный пункт назначения, но и в определенные договором сроки.The article defines the contract for the carriage of goods, describes the main norms of the legislation on the contract for the carriage of goods by various means of transport, highlights the parties to the agreement in question.

description: We develop a method to estimate photometric metallicities by simultaneously fitting the dereddened colors u-g, g-r, r-i and i-z from the SDSS with those predicted by the metallicity-dependent stellar loci. The method is tested with a spectroscopic sample of main-sequence stars in Stripe 82 selected from the SDSS DR9 and three open clusters. With 1 per cent photometry, the method is capable of delivering photometric metallicities precise to about 0.05, 0.12, and 0.18 dex at metallicities of 0.0, -1.0, and -2.0, respectively, comparable to the precision achievable with low-resolution spectroscopy at a signal-to-noise ratio of 10. We apply this method to the re-calibrated Stripe 82 catalog and derive metallicities for about 0.5 million stars of colors 0.3 < g-i < 1.6 mag and distances between 0.3 -- 18 kpc. Potential systematics in the metallicities thus derived, due to the contamination of giants and binaries, are investigated. Photometric distances are also calculated. About 91, 72, and 53 per cent of the sample stars are brighter than r = 20.5, 19.5, and 18.5 mag, respectively. The median metallicity errors are around 0.19, 0.16, 0.11, and 0.085 dex for the whole sample, and for stars brighter than r = 20.5, 19.5, and 18.5 mag, respectively. The median distance errors are 8.8, 8.4, 7.7, and 7.3 per cent for the aforementioned four groups of stars, respectively. The data are publicly available. Potential applications of the data in studies of the distribution, (sub)structure, and chemistry of the Galactic stellar populations, are briefly discussed. The results will be presented in future papers.

Bayesian Nonparametric Density Autoregression with Lag Selection

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)

description: We develop a Bayesian nonparametric autoregressive model applied to flexibly estimate general transition densities exhibiting nonlinear lag dependence. Our approach is related to Bayesian density regression using Dirichlet process mixtures, with the Markovian likelihood defined through the conditional distribution obtained from the mixture. This results in a Bayesian nonparametric extension of a mixtures-of-experts model formulation. We address computational challenges to posterior sampling that arise from the Markovian structure in the likelihood. The base model is illustrated with synthetic data from a classical model for population dynamics, as well as a series of waiting times between eruptions of Old Faithful Geyser. We study inferences available through the base model before extending the methodology to include automatic relevance detection among a pre-specified set of lags. Inference for global and local lag selection is explored with additional simulation studies, and the methods are illustrated through analysis of an annual time series of pink salmon abundance in a stream in Alaska. We further explore and compare transition density estimation performance for alternative configurations of the proposed model.

description: Background: To date, COVID-19 vaccine coverage in the African region falls far too short of global goals. Increasing vaccination rates requires understanding barriers to vaccination so that effective interventions that sensitively and effectively address barriers to vaccination can be implemented. Methods: To assess COVID-19 vaccination levels and identify major barriers to vaccine uptake we conducted a population-based, cross-sectional survey among 1662 adults 18 and older from August 25 to October 29 2021 in the Agincourt Health and Socio-Demographic Surveillance System (AHDSS) area, Mpumalanga, South Africa. Results: Half of participants reported receiving a COVID-19 vaccine (50.4%) with 41.1% being fully vaccinated and 9.3% being partially vaccinated; 49.6% were unvaccinated. More women than men were vaccinated (55.5% vs 42.8%, P < 0.001), and older age groups were more likely to be vaccinated than younger age groups (P < 0.001). Among the unvaccinated, 69.0% planned to get vaccinated as soon as possible, while 14.7% reported definitely not wanting the vaccine. Major barriers to vaccination included lacking information on eligibility (12.3%) or where to get vaccinated (13.0%), concerns about side effects (12.5%), and inconvenient hours and locations for vaccination (11.0%). Confidence in the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines was higher among those vaccinated than unvaccinated (75.3% vs 51.2%, 75.8% vs 51.0%, both P < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Increasing vaccination in South Africa beyond current levels will require a concerted effort to address concerns around vaccine safety and increase confidence in vaccine efficacy. Clarifying eligibility and ensuring access to vaccines at times and places that are convenient to younger populations, men, and other vulnerable groups is necessary.

description: We analyze a task in which classical and quantum messages are simultaneously communicated via a noisy quantum channel, assisted with a limited amount of shared entanglement. We derive direct and converse bounds for the one-shot capacity region, represented by the smooth conditional entropies and the error tolerance. The proof is based on the randomized partial decoupling theorem, which is a generalization of the decoupling theorem. The two bounds match in the asymptotic limit of infinitely many uses of a memoryless channel and coincide with the previous result obtained by Hsieh and Wilde. Direct and converse bounds for various communication tasks are obtained as corollaries, both for the one-shot and asymptotic scenarios.

description: Droplet impact on solid surfaces is a fluid phenomenon widely involved in additive manufacturing, heat management, and coating, in which the ability to exert control over the impact dynamics and duration is critical. While past studies have established a comprehensive understanding of the impact on flat substrates, what we know about the impact dynamics on curved solid surfaces is still limited. This work aims to elucidate the physics of droplet impact on spherical surfaces with different Weber numbers ($We$), radii ($R_s$), and surface wettability ($θ^{eq}$) using a combination of axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and theoretical analysis. The model developed in our previous work [H. Dalgamoni and X. Yong, Phys. Rev. E 98, 13102 (2018)] was extended and modified for simulating the normal impact of droplet on curved substrates in the low Weber number regime (i.e., $We \leq 15$), in which axisymmetric assumption of droplet deformation holds. The LBM simulations show that $We$, $R_s$, and $θ^{eq}$ significantly affect the spreading and recoiling of droplet during impact. The parametric studies uncover five outcomes of impact, which range from complete deposition to total rebound. A simulation-predicted phase diagram was constructed and correlated with the total time that the droplet was in contact with the solid. In addition, a theoretical model based on energy budget during impact was developed to predict the rebound threshold for impact on spherical targets when varying We, and independently, which agrees well with simulation observations. These findings provide fundamental insight into surface structure design for controlling droplet hydrodynamics and the contact time during impact.

description: The discrepancy between early-Universe inferences and direct measurements of the Hubble constant, known as the Hubble tension, recently became a pressing subject in high precision cosmology. As a result, a large variety of theoretical models have been proposed to relieve this tension. In this work we analyze a conformally-coupled modified gravity (CCMG) model of an evolving gravitational constant due to the coupling of a scalar field to the Ricci scalar, which becomes active around matter-radiation equality, as required for solutions to the Hubble tension based on increasing the sound horizon at recombination. The model is theoretically advantageous as it has only one free parameter in addition to the baseline $Λ$CDM ones. Inspired by similar recent analyses of so-called early-dark-energy models, we constrain the CCMG model using a combination of early and late-Universe cosmological datasets. In addition to the Planck 2018 cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and weak lensing measurements, baryon acoustic oscillations and the Supernova H0 for the Equation of State datasets, we also use large-scale structure (LSS) datasets such as the Dark Energy Survey year 1 and the full-shape power spectrum likelihood from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, including its recent analysis using effective field theory, to check the effect of the CCMG model on the (milder) S8 tension between the CMB and LSS. We find that the CCMG model can slightly relax the Hubble tension, with $H_0 = 69.6 \pm 1.6$ km/s/Mpc at 95% CL, while barely affecting the S8 tension. However, current data does not exhibit strong preference for CCMG over the standard cosmological model. Lastly, we show that the planned CMB-S4 experiment will have the sensitivity required to distinguish between the CCMG model and the more general class of models involving an evolving gravitational constant.

description: The northern American Southwest provides one of the most well-documented cases of human population growth and decline in the world. The geographic extent of this decline in North America is unknown due to the lack of high-resolution palaeodemographic data from regions across and beyond the greater Southwest, where archaeological radiocarbon data is often the only available proxy for investigating these palaeodemographic processes. Radiocarbon time series across and beyond the greater Southwest suggest widespread population collapses from AD 1300 to 1600. However, radiocarbon data have potential biases caused by variable radiocarbon sample preservation, sample collection and the nonlinearity of the radiocarbon calibration curve. In order to be confident in the wider trends seen in radiocarbon time series across and beyond the greater Southwest, here we focus on regions that have multiple palaeodemographic proxies and compare those proxies to radiocarbon time series. We develop a new method for time series analysis and comparison between dendrochronological data and radiocarbon data. Results confirm a multiple proxy decline in human populations across the Upland US Southwest, Central Mesa Verde and Northern Rio Grande from AD 1300 to 1600. These results lend confidence to single proxy radiocarbon-based reconstructions of paleodemography outside the Southwest that suggest post-AD 1300 population declines in many parts of North America.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Cross-disciplinary approaches to prehistoric demography’

description: In this paper, we discuss the gravitational waves in the context of gauge theory gravity with a negative cosmological constant. The gauge theory gravity is a gravity theory under gauge formulation in the language of geometric algebra. In contrast to general relativity, the background spacetime in gauge theory gravity is flat, the gauge freedom comes from the fact that equations in terms of physical quantities should be kept in a covariant form under spacetime displacement and rotation. Similar to the electromagnetism, the gauge formulation enables us to interpret the gravitational force as a gauge force on the background flat spacetime. The dynamical fields that describe the gravitational interactions are those position and rotation gauge fields introduced as the requirement of the gauge covariance. The gravitational field equations can be derived from the least action principle with the action as a gauge invariant quantity built from the covariant field strength. We discuss the gravitational wave solutions of the field equations with a negative cosmological constant, and show that these solutions are of Petrov type-N. We also discuss the velocity memory effect by calculating the velocity change of an initially free falling massive particle due to the presence of the gravitational waves.

description: Synchronization of quantum nonlinear oscillators has attracted much attention recently. To characterize the quantum oscillatory dynamics, we recently proposed a fully quantum-mechanical definition of the asymptotic phase, which is a key quantity in the synchronization analysis of classical nonlinear oscillators (Kato and Nakao 2022 Chaos 32 063133). In this work, we further extend this theory and introduce multiple asymptotic phases using the eigenoperators of the adjoint Liouville superoperator of the quantum nonlinear oscillator associated with different fundamental frequencies. We analyze a quantum van der Pol oscillator with Kerr effect in the strong quantum regime and show that the system has several different fundamental frequencies. By introducing order parameters and power spectra in terms of the associated quantum asymptotic phases, we reveal that phase locking of the system with a harmonic drive at several different frequencies, an explicit quantum signature observed only in the strong quantum regime, can be interpreted as synchronization on a torus rather than a simple limit cycle.

description: Business Processes, i.e., a set of coordinated tasks and activities to achieve a business goal, and their continuous improvements are key to the operation of any organization. In banking, business processes are increasingly dynamic as various technologies have made dynamic processes more prevalent. For example, customer segmentation, i.e., the process of grouping related customers based on common activities and behaviors, could be a data-driven and knowledge-intensive process. In this thesis, we present an intelligent data driven pipeline composed of a set of processing elements to move customers’ data from one system to another, transforming the data into the contextualized data and knowledge along the way. The goal is to present a novel intelligent customer segmentation process which automates the feature engineering, i.e., the process of using (banking) domain knowledge to extract features from raw data via data mining techniques, in the banking domain. We adopt a typical scenario for analyzing customer transaction records, to highlight how the presented approach can significantly improve the quality of risk-based customer segmentation in the absence of feature engineering. As result, our proposed method is able to achieve accuracy of � compared to classical approaches in terms of detecting, identifying and classifying transaction to the right classification.
