description: Today, many economic sectors such as banking industry have understood the necessity of paying due attention to customers. Retaining and attracting customers is an important factor for the success and achievement of competitive advantage. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between marketing mix of Parsian bank banking services and customer loyalty considering the mediating role of customer satisfaction. The research method in this study is quantitative-inductive. Findings are obtained with regard to the views of 388 customers of Parsian bank branches in Tehran. Data analysis is done using confirmatory factor analysis and process analysis of covariance structures (structural equation modeling). The results of this study indicate that the measurement tool is reliable and valid and the research model has a good fit. The marketing mix has a significant positive effect on customer loyalty through customer satisfaction both directly and indirectly.

description: Convective driving, the mechanism originally proposed by Brickhill (1991, 1983) for pulsating white dwarf stars, has gained general acceptance as the generic linear instability mechanism in DAV and DBV white dwarfs. This physical mechanism naturally leads to a nonlinear formulation, reproducing the observed light curves of many pulsating white dwarfs. This numerical model can also provide information on the average depth of a star's convection zone and the inclination angle of its pulsation axis. In this paper, we give two sets of results of nonlinear light curve fits to data on the DBV GD 358. Our first fit is based on data gathered in 2006 by the Whole Earth Telescope (WET); this data set was multiperiodic, containing at least 12 individual modes. Our second fit utilizes data obtained in 1996, when GD 358 underwent a dramatic change in excited frequencies accompanied by a rapid increase in fractional amplitude; during this event it was essentially monoperiodic. We argue that GD 358's convection zone was much thinner in 1996 than in 2006, and we interpret this as a result of a short-lived increase in its surface temperature. In addition, we find strong evidence of oblique pulsation using two sets of evenly split triplets in the 2006 data. This marks the first time that oblique pulsation has been identified in a variable white dwarf star.

description: This study aims to evaluate the effect of knowledge transfer and product complexity on flexibility of supply chain of SAPCO Company. The study population is employees of SAPCO Company. In this study, the data with sample size 234 are collected using a questionnaire and simple random sampling method.  To evaluate the normality of questions, Kolmogorov-Smirnov method was applied. To evaluate the relationship, Pearson correlation test was used and to test the hypotheses, structural equations method is applied. The results show that internal knowledge transfer and external knowledge transfer have positive and significant impact on supply chain flexibility but the complexity of product has no impact on supply chain flexibility. This study showed that the effect of external knowledge transfer was higher than the impact of internal transfer. Finally, it is proposed that companies should provide the conditions in which the employees can increase supply chain flexibility outside the discussion sessions on proposes, new products ideas with other internal and external sectors, brain storming sessions formation with the presence of external organizational experts and take good strategies to manage the effect of products complexity.

description: Understanding physics in domains of critical (quantum unstable) fields requires investigating the classical and quantum particle dynamics at the critical acceleration, $\dot u \to 1$ [natural units]. This regime of physics remains today experimentally practically untested. Particle and light collision experiments reaching critical acceleration are becoming feasible, in particular applying available high intensity laser technology. Ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions breach the critical domain but are complicated by the presence of much other physics. The infamous problem of radiation reaction and the challenging environment of quantum vacuum instability arising in the high field domain signal the need for a thorough redress of the present theoretical framework.

description: We introduce a self-consistent microscopic theoretical framework for modelling the process of electron capture on nuclei in stellar environment, based on relativistic energy density functionals. The finite-temperature relativistic mean-field model is used to calculate the single-nucleon basis and the occupation factors in a target nucleus, and $J^π = 0^{\pm}$, $1^{\pm}$, $2^{\pm}$ charge-exchange transitions are described by the self-consistent finite-temperature relativistic random-phase approximation. Cross sections and rates are calculated for electron capture on 54,56Fe and 76,78Ge in stellar environment, and results compared with predictions of similar and complementary model calculations.

description: Today\'s competitive world and economy is heavily dependent on electrical energy. Since electricity cannot be stored and producing more or less than the required needs may lead to some losses. The electric charge forecasting and pricing are considered as the main factors in planning and decision-making for future development plans and operation of power systems. In the future smart grids, electricity consumers will be able to react to changes in electricity prices. The total response of consumers to price could potentially shift the demand curve in the market. As a result, prices may vary from original projections. In this paper, a forecasting framework is proposed that offers such dynamics in predicting the electricity price demand. In this framework, a mechanism based on principles of data mining data mining to determine the patterns in response to changes in consumer demand and prices are used. In this model, the weather conditions (temperature and humidity), the days and special holidays are considered. And the results are expected to be done hourly, daily. Simulation results of the proposed method for forecasting demand and prices, which were obtained using the Australian electricity market, indicates that error is less compared to the previous methods.

description: With single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, we compare the structures of three sample showing optimal superconductivity, K0.774(4)Fe1.613(2)Se2, K0.738(6)Fe1.631(3)Se2 and Cs0.748(2)Fe1.626(1)Se2. All have an almost identical ordered vacancy structure with a ({\sqrt}5 x {\sqrt}5 x 1) super cell. The tetragonal unit cell, space group I4/m, possesses lattice parameters at 250K of a = b = 8.729(2) Å and c = 14.120(3) Å, a = b = 8.7186(12) Å and c = 14.0853(19) Å and at 295 K, a = b = 8.8617(16) Å and c = 15.304(3) Å for the three crystals, respectively. The structure contains two iron sites; one is almost completely empty, whilst the other is fully occupied. There are similarly two alkali metal sites that are occupied in the range of 72.2(2) % to 85.3(3) %. The inclusion of alkali metals and the presence of vacancies within the structure allows for considerable relaxation of the FeSe4 tetrahedron, compared with members of the Fe(Te, Se, S) series, and the resulting shift of the Se - F - Se bond angles to less distorted geometry could be important in understanding the associated increase in the superconducting transition temperature. The structure of these superconductors distinguishes themselves from the structure of the non-superconducting phases by an almost complete absence of Fe on the (0 0.5 0.25) site as well as lower alkali metal occupancy that ensures an exact Fe2+ oxidation state, which are clearly critical parameters in the promotion of superconductivity.

description: We derive conserved charges as quasi-local Hamiltonians by covariant phase space methods for a class of geometric Lagrangians that can be written in terms of the spin connection, the vielbein and possibly other tensorial form fields, allowing also for non-zero torsion. We then re-calculate certain known results and derive some new ones in three to six dimensions hopefully enlightening certain aspects of all of them. The quasi-local energy is defined in terms of the metric and not its first derivatives, requiring `regularization' for convergence in most cases. Counter-terms consistent with Dirichlet boundary conditions in first order formalism are shown to be an efficient way to remove divergencies and derive the values of conserved charges, the clear-cut application being metrics with AdS (or dS) asymptotics. The emerging scheme is: all is required to remove the divergencies of a Lovelock gravity is a boundary Lovelock gravity.

description: Superpixel segmentation method designed for aerial images for controlling segmentation with low failure rate is suggested for detecting vehicles from aerial maps with high resolution and accuracy. For greater efficiency of practice and recognition, significant areas are extracted based on segmented superpixel centers. After segmentation, iteration strategy of sample selection based on scattered provision is used to provide a small and complete training subset of the original set. Selected training subset is a method that has the ability to distinguish and differentiate to detect vehicles. Training and detection for the features network of histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) is used to extract features.
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy to quantify penalty elements in iron ore
Creators: name: Martino, Natalia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Producing mines and new projects are forced to mine lower grade and more complex ores. As a consequence, there is an increased need to monitor penalty elements. The penalty elements are the constituents that reduce the quality, and therefore the value of the concentrate. Many of these constituents are low atomic number elements that are not adequately detected with most existing sensors. The case study evaluated in this work, is an operating iron mine where silicon, aluminum, potassium, phosphorus, and sulfur are penalty elements. Real-time ore monitoring and Sensor-Based Sorting utilize different analytical techniques that serve as sensors. Many of the more studied and used analytical techniques, such as ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence), PGNAA (Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis), or XRT (X-ray Transmission), require long scanning times, time-consuming sampling procedures or cannot detect low atomic number elements. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a proven analytical technique that can analyze all elements in the periodic table in real-time. It had advanced significantly since its conception when it was a fragile laser technology. Especially after 2012 and 2021, LIBS received much attention when NASA successfully used it on the Mars rover to analyze soils and rocks at a distance. In this thesis, the experiments were done with crushed Run of Mine iron ore material to investigate the reconciliation between the bulk analysis by conventional techniques (assay) versus surface analysis provided by LIBS. Univariate and multivariate models achieved between 88 to 99% correlation with the assay results. The challenges presented during this research can be explained by low signal-to-noise ratios, self-absorption phenomena, low concentration of the element of interest, and the available low energy LIBS setup used in the study. The results presented indicate that LIBS can be used to accurately perform monitoring and sorting of crushed iron ore, with multiple economic and environmental advantages.

description: Sexual assault remains a prevalent crime on college campuses, leaving institutions of higher education with the task of responding to allegations of sexual assault semi-regularly. While a lot of research examines students’ perceptions of their universities’ responses, the ways in which different university units collaborate in their responses remain unstudied. In my dissertation, I apply Acker’s theory of gendered organizations to study universities as a gendered organization comprised of multiple differently gendered organizations that respond to allegations of sexual assault. Drawing on data from a media audit, policy analysis, and interviews, I analyze in what ways and in what contexts gendering occurs in sexual assault policies and practices at two universities in the Pacific Northwest. Across these studies, I find that gendering infrequently occurs within university policy text. Instead, gendering occurs within federal and state guidelines that, in turn, influence university policy. Moreover, I find differences in approaches to the same federal guidelines based on state climate. I follow these studies with an explanation of my findings, their scientific contribution, and directions for future research.

description: The effect of picosecond acoustic strain pulses (ps-ASP) on a thin layer of (Ga,Mn)As co-doped with phosphorus was probed using magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE). A transient MOKE signal followed by low amplitude oscillations was evidenced, with a strong dependence on applied magnetic field, temperature and ps-ASP amplitude. Careful interferometric measurement of the layer's thickness variation induced by the ps-ASP allowed us to model very accurately the resulting signal, and interpret it as the strain modulated reflectivity (differing for $σ_{\pm}$ probe polarizations), independently from dynamic magnetization effects.

description: Curators are necessarily detail oriented -- a trait born of, and reinforced by, our efforts to describe biological data accurately and precisely. To ensure comprehensive coverage and meaningful integration of new and existing knowledge, however, it is important to periodically step back from this fine-grained view and assess emergent features in accumulated curation. I will explore how PomBase has used the global "big picture" view of curated data to provide biological summaries, modularise content, and improve data display and access for our users. The global perspective can also be used to detect annotation errors and identify knowledge gaps, thereby improving overall annotation quality. I will also describe the progress we have made in engaging fission yeast researchers in community curation. Finally, I will show that the global curation perspective and community engagement share a common theme: both improve overall understanding, accessibility and reuse of accumulated knowledge by our user community.

description: We report an investigation of quantum Hall induced currents by simultaneous measurements of their magnetic moment and their effect on the conductance of a quantum point contact (QPC). Features in the magnetic moment and QPC resistance are correlated at Landau-level filling factors nu=1, 2 and 4, which demonstrates the common origin of the effects. Temperature and non-linear sweep rate dependences are observed to be similar for the two effects. Furthermore, features in the noise of the induced currents, caused by breakdown of the quantum Hall effect, are observed to have clear correlations between the two measurements. In contrast, there is a distinct difference in the way that the induced currents decay with time when the sweeping field halts at integer filling factor. We attribute this difference to the fact that, while both effects are sensitive to the magnitude of the induced current, the QPC resistance is also sensitive to the proximity of the current to the QPC split-gate. Although it is clearly demonstrated that induced currents affect the electrostatics of a QPC, the reverse effect, the QPC influencing the induced current, was not observed.

description: According to representation theory, hope of future good news stimulates the managers to postepone bad economic news in order to gain extra return. But in fact conservatism in accounting, as an influential control mechanism in identifying the good versus bad economic news, prevent the managers from over-optimism and provides a framework for identifying economic affairs. Therefore, it is the intention of this research to study the aforementioned challenge through analyzing the relation between conservatism, accrual persistence asymmetry and stock return. Conservatism is considered as independent variable of the research and accrual persistence asymmetry and stock return as dependent variables. Moreover, Basu’s model its used for measuring conservatism and to control risk, stock return is moderated in extent. Admitted firms in Tehran’s Bond Exchange from 2009 to 2015 constitude the date of the present research from which a sum of 66 firms (462 year-firm) are placed within the sample data of this research. The assumption of the research are tested via analyzing coefficient variables?regression modeling findings of the research suggest that there exists no meaningful relation between resistance of accrual items and stock return and another analysis rejected the existence of such relation has been rejected which suggested that law makings and standards are weak in a way that provide the ground for manipulating the real activities altimately leading to increased operational risks.

description: Construction industry is suffering from low productivity rate in various projects such as excavation. Although this issue is discussed in literature and several approaches are proposed to address it, productivity rate is still low in construction industry compared to other domains like manufacturing. Three core components directly affect the overall productivity in construction sector, i.e. labour productivity, raw material productivity, and machine or equipment productivity. With a focus on construction machinery, three factors influence productivity at excavation sites; i.e. 1) machine-based productivity and its configuration, 2) site layout and environmental conditions, and 3) operators’ behaviour. Operators’ competence and motivation represent two key parameters that affect their behaviour. On one side, gamification has attracted a growing area of interest both in literature and practice, seeking to place a layer of entertainment and pleasure to the top of serious activities (with a focus on improving the applicant’s motivation and behaviour). On the other side, telematics systems are utilized to collect operational data of the machine, and calculate its productivity rate. Telematics data are presented to operators (via a built-in screen available in the cabin of the machine) to provide real-time feedback about machine performance. In addition, these data can support machine owners to perceive operators’ behaviour on a real-time basis. To conclude, telematics systems are providing real-time data which can be a great input into gamification. A guideline is proposed in this dissertation that helps gamification designers to develop more transparent gamification models. This guideline is utilized to introduce a gamification model that gamifies telematics data with a focus on enhancing operators’ behaviour (machine productivity) in loading and transferring activities. The model was implemented at two sites(one recycling and one mining site) and could encourage operators (who were operating wheel-loaders and dump-trucks) to prevent redundant activities like texting, phoning, and even eating while operating the machine. Subsequently, it enhanced overall machine productivity up to 37% during the site observation. To summarize, a gamified platform in which different operators from different organizations can share their achievements, or can get scored and ranked in a leader-board will potentially lead to a more proper operators’ behaviour at work and subsequently can improve overall productivity rate at construction sites.

description: Abstract Con la diffusione massiva di Internet, la circolazione di minacce informatiche in questi ultimi decenni è incrementata notevolmente. I malware, spesso generati da aggregati di codici malevoli, infettano sistemi informatici cercando di lasciare il più possibile un loro segno anche a causa degli utenti più inermi. L’unica metodologia di prevenzione è affidata all’analisi di file sospetti, nata allo scopo di mitigare sempre e più questo fenomeno. I processi di analisi statica e dinamica spesso vengono combinati in sistemi di analisi automatizzata, che permettono di analizzare il comportamento di un malware all’interno di un sistema isolato denominato sandbox. Ne esistono diversi in commercio: in particolare Cuckoo Sandbox: case-study del presente lavoro e che ha fornito un buon spunto per lo sviluppo di un portale web con funzioni simili. Il sistema sviluppato è in grado di fornire un banco di analisi del malware, appoggiandosi a servizi di terze parti per l’esecuzione dell’analisi tramite l’utilizzo di API. Il presente lavoro ha permesso di sviluppare una maggior consapevolezza e sensibilità a queste tematiche, sperando che anche in futuro numerose persone prestino più attenzione per evitare la diffusione di queste insidie. -- With the massive spread of the Internet, the circulation of malware has increased considerably in recent decades. Malware, often generated by aggregates of malicious codes, infect computer systems trying to leave their mark as much as possible on even the most defenceless users. The only prevention methodology is entrusted to the analysis of suspicious files, which was created with the aim of increasingly mitigating this phenomenon. Static and dynamic analysis processes are often combined in automated analysis systems, which make it possible to analyze the behaviour of malware within an isolated environment called sandbox. There are several of these on the market: in particular Cuckoo Sandbox, which was a case-study of the present work and which provided a good starting point for the development of a web portal with similar functions. The system developed can provide a malware analysis bank, relying on third-party services to perform the analysis using APIs. This work has made it possible to develop greater awareness and sensitivity to these issues, and it is hoped that more people will pay more attention in the future to avoid the spread of these pitfalls.

description: The aim of this paper is to study the molecular composition in the circumstellar envelope around the oxygen-rich star IK Tau. We observed IK Tau in several (sub)millimeter bands using the APEX telescope during three observing periods. To determine the spatial distribution of the $\mathrm{^{12}CO(3-2)}$ emission, mapping observations were performed. To constrain the physical conditions in the circumstellar envelope, multiple rotational CO emission lines were modeled using a non local thermodynamic equilibrium radiative transfer code. The rotational temperatures and the abundances of the other molecules were obtained assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium. An oxygen-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch star has been surveyed in the submillimeter wavelength range. Thirty four transitions of twelve molecular species, including maser lines, were detected. The kinetic temperature of the envelope was determined and the molecular abundance fractions of the molecules were estimated. The deduced molecular abundances were compared with observations and modeling from the literature and agree within a factor of 10, except for SO$_2$, which is found to be almost a factor 100 stronger than predicted by chemical models. From this study, we found that IK Tau is a good laboratory to study the conditions in circumstellar envelopes around oxygen-rich stars with (sub)millimeter-wavelength molecular lines. We could also expect from this study that the molecules in the circumstellar envelope can be explained more faithful by non-LTE analysis with lower and higher transition lines than by simple LTE analysis with only lower transition lines. In particular, the observed CO line profiles could be well reproduced by a simple expanding envelope model with a power law structure.

description: The negligence of development impacts in recent decades has imposed serious problems to great projects due to inattention to the environment. To this end, a positive movement towards the assessment of strategic development effects has been triggered in recent years. This study aims to identify and prioritize executable development projects in the area of drinking water dam of Ilam with the priority of assessing environmental impacts. It is an applied study in terms of objective and a descriptive-analytical study in terms of method. The study population consists of two qualitative and quantitative sections. Experts who are familiar with related issues, problems and impacts of dam making projects constitute the first section while the second one covers specialists who are familiar with the drainage basin of dam. The samples of both sections were selected using purposive sampling method. Data was collected by questionnaire (both open-ended and close-ended questionnaires) and was analyzed using SPSS and Liserl. Finally, 9 important factors were identified as the main title of projects namely: 1) plant product projects, 2) livestock product projects, 3) water, soil and industrial projects, 4) veterinary medicine projects, 5) forest, pasture and watershed management projects, 6) promotion and exploitation projects, 7) economic association projects, 8) production cooperatives for providing agricultural engineering services and 9) job opportunities of agriculture sector. In addition, 82 development-titled projects were extracted to be studied in Ilam dam site.
How to avoid the worst financial outcomes in the mining industry

description: The mining industry has a long history of generating low shareholder returns. Over the past two decades, the average Canadian mining company has returned -8%, while the TSX composite index returned +7%. Prior studies have failed to reach generalizable conclusions about the factors that drive mining firm performance over the long run. This research project investigated over 100 Canadian mining companies' performance from 2003 to 2016 and identified the most significant long-run performance factors. The analysis of these Canadian mining firms found that commodity prices explained the majority of firm performance on an annual basis, but mineral asset impairments had a much more considerable influence on performance over the long run. Over the study period, 90% of Canadian mining companies declared a mineral asset impairment. On average, companies wrote off 40% of a mine’s value when they reported an impairment. After collecting data on almost 300 operating mines, this research project found that declines in metal prices, lower than expected ore grade, and poorer than expected ground conditions contributed significantly to mineral asset impairments, along with several other factors. This research project also found that mineral asset impairments were more likely to occur when mines were located in developing countries, when a mine was located in a geographic region unfamiliar to the operating company, and when a mine employed a mining method or a mineral recovery method that was unfamiliar to the operating company. Finally, this study discussed mineral asset impairments through the frame of project forecasting errors to identify possible root causes of impairments and suggest methods for reducing impairments. It identified technical errors, optimism bias, and principal-agent conflicts as potential root causes. The investigation of over 250 unique impairment events found that approximately 30% were caused by technical error and 70% by optimism bias or principal-agent conflict. The practice of using distributional forecasting error information from completed projects, known as reference class forecasting, was presented as a method to improve cost and benefit forecasts, reduce mineral asset impairments, and improve mining firm performance over the long run.

description: The interpretation of the Landau gauge lattice gluon propagator as a massive type bosonic propagator is investigated for i) an infrared constant gluon mass; ii) an ultraviolet constant gluon mass; iii) a momentum dependent mass. We find that the infrared data can be associated with a massive propagator with a constant gluon mass of 651(12) MeV, but the ultraviolet lattice data is not compatible this type of propagator. The scenario of a momentum dependent gluon mass gives a decreasing mass with the momentum, starting from a value of $\sim 630$ MeV in the infrared region and suggesting a $q^2 \ln q^2$ dependence for momenta above 1 GeV.

description: Infrared photometry of the probable triple WC4 (+O?) +O8I: system HD 36402 (BAT99-38) in the LMC shows emission characteristic of heated dust. Although HD 36402 is close to two luminous YSOs, it is possible to distinguish its emission at wavelengths less than 10 microns. Simple modelling indicates a dust temperature near 800 K and mass of about 1.5e-7 Msol amorphous carbon grains. The dust emission appears to be variable. It is apparent that Wolf Rayet dust formation occurs also in metal-poor environments.

description: Cet article présente une description minéralogique d’échantillons de la région de Vielsalm-Salmchâteau, Massif de Stavelot, Belgique. Ces échantillons proviennent d’anciennes collections ou ont été récoltés récemment sur le terrain. Les analyses, réalisées par diffraction des rayons X et au microscope électronique à balayage (spectromètre EDS), ont permis de compléter l’inventaire minéralogique de la région, en y ajoutant une vingtaine d’espèces. Certains de ces minéraux sont nouveaux pour notre pays : l’arsenogoyazite, le diaspore, la malhmoodite, la montanite, la ténorite et la volborthite. La malhmoodite, FeZr(PO4)2.4H2O, est une espèce très rare connue seulement dans deux autres localités à travers le monde.
description: This paper concerns a mineralogical description of samples from the Vielsalm-Salmchâteau area, Stavelot Massif, Belgium. The samples were recently collected on the field, or discovered in old collections. Mineralogical analyses were performed by X-ray diffraction techniques, and by scanning electron microscopy (EDS spectrometry). Approximately 20 species were characterized, which were not previously reported in the area, while 6 minerals are new discoveries for Belgium: arsenogoyazite, diaspore, malhmoodite, montanite, tenorite, and volborthite. Malhmoodite, FeZr(PO4)2.4H2O, is a rare zirconium phosphate only found in two other localities in the world.

description: We present the results of an analysis of photometric time-series observations for NGC 2126 acquired at the Thai National Observatory (TNO) in Thailand and the Mount Lemmon Optical Astronomy Observatory (LOAO) in USA during the years 2004, 2013 and 2015. The main purpose is to search for new variable stars and to study the light curves of binary systems as well as the oscillation spectra of pulsating stars. NGC 2126 is an intermediate-age open cluster which has a population of stars inside the  Scuti instability strip. Several variable stars are reported including three eclipsing binary stars, one of which is an eclipsing binary star with a pulsating component (V551 Aur). The Wilson-Devinney technique was used to analyze its light curves and to determine a new set of the system’s parameters. A frequency analysis of the eclipse-subtracted light curve was also performed. Eclipsing binaries which are members of open clusters are capable of delivering strong constraints on the cluster’s properties which are in turn useful for a pulsational analysis of their pulsating components. Therefore, high-resolution, high-quality spectra will be needed to derive accurate component radial velocities of the faint eclipsing binaries which are located in the field of NGC 2126. The new Devasthal Optical Telescope, suitably equipped, could in principle do this.

description: In a recent Letter entitled "A new numerical method for obtaining gluon distribution functions $G(x,Q^2)=xg(x,Q^2)$, from the proton structure function $F_2^{γp}(x,Q^2)$" [arXiv:0907.4790], we derived an accurate and fast algorithm for numerically inverting Laplace transforms, which we used in obtaining gluon distributions from the proton structure function $F_2^{γp}(x,Q^2)$. We inverted the function $g(s)$, where $s$ is the variable in Laplace space, to $G(v)$, where $v$ is the variable in ordinary space. Since publication, we have discovered that the algorithm does not work if $g(s)\rightarrow 0$ less rapidly than $1/s$, as $s\rightarrow\infty$. Although we require that $g(s)\rightarrow 0$ as $s\rightarrow\infty$, it can approach 0 as ${1\over s^β}$, with $0

description: We have carried out time series photometry of the some young open clusters NGC 1893, Be 59, NGC 7380, Stock 8 and NGC 281 to search for pre-main-sequence variable stars. We have detected several pre-main-sequence variables associated to the young open clusters with periods ranging from ~0.1 to ~50 days. These pre-main-sequence variables could be T Tauri stars. The association of these variable stars with the cluster has been established on the basis of two colour diagrams, a colour-magnitude diagram and spectral energy distributions. The brightness of classical T Tauri stars is found to vary with a larger amplitude in comparison to weak line T Tauri stars. It is found that the amplitude of pre-main-sequence variables decreases with increasing mass, which could be due to the dispersal of discs of massive stars. We have also detected several stars as main-sequence variables, which are classified either as slowly pulsating B stars, β Cep stars, δ Scuti stars or members of a new class of variable stars.
