description: Power-law type probability density functions spanning several orders of magnitude are found for different avalanche properties. We propose a methodology to overcome empirical constrains that limit the power-law range for the distributions of different avalanche observables like amplitude, energy, duration or size. By considering catalogs of events that cover different observation windows, maximum likelihood estimation of a global power-law exponent is computed. This methodology is applied to amplitude and energy distributions of acoustic emission avalanches in failure-under- compression experiments of a nanoporous silica glass, finding in some cases global exponents in an unprecedented broad range: 4.5 decades for amplitudes and 9.5 decades for energies. In the later case, however, strict statistical analysis suggests experimental limitations might alter the power-law behavior.

description: Supramolecular helical structures formed by the assembly of biological and bio-inspired building blocks (typically amino acids, peptides and proteins) are an intriguing class of materials with prospective applications in sustainable biomedical technologies and electronics. Specifically, short peptide or single amino acid building blocks can give rise to ideal materials candidates in terms of low cost, adjustability, and compatibility. Yet, to date, reliable helical topologies with specific handedness have been highly challenging to obtain. Herein, we present simple N-terminal protected aromatic pyridyl amino acids that display helicity at the molecular level confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The helical structure is stabilized by strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the pyridyl nitrogen and carboxylic acid groups. By comparing the specific L and D isomers with the DL racemic mixture, we explicitly demonstrate the influence of amino acid chirality on supramolecular crystal packing, self-assembly, and electromechanical properties. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanoindentation analysis confirms the strong rigidity of the DL assembly with very high Young's modulus (31.8 ± 11.9 GPa) attributed to the stacked face-to-face dimers with macrocyclic architectures. The present study provides an effective strategy for precisely formulating supramolecular helical structures, which could pave the way for the development of new bio-electronic applications of smart chiroptical materials from functionalised amino acids.

description: We examine the dynamics of the stars and globular clusters in the nearby giant galaxy M87 and constrain the mass distribution, using all the available data over a large range of radii, including higher-order moments of the stellar line-of-sight velocity distributions and the discrete velocities of over two hundred globular clusters. We introduce an extension of spherical orbit modeling methods that makes full use of all the information in the data, and provides very robust constraints on the mass models. We conclusively rule out a constant mass-to-light ratio model, and infer that the radial density profile of the galaxy's dark halo falls off more slowly than 1/r^2, suggesting that the potential of the Virgo Cluster is already dominant at r ~ 300" ~ 20 kpc.

description: Da circa un secolo teatro, psicologia e pedagogia hanno evidenziato il ruolo della corporeità nelle relazioni umane, comprese quelle di tipo educativo. La scuola ticinese ha preso atto di questo assunto specialmente negli ordini inferiori, lasciando che quelli superiori rimanessero spesso culturalmente ancorati a un’impostazione frontale e verbocentrica. Questo lavoro ha cercato di proporre un modello d’integrazione tra parola gestualità nell’insegnamento della Riforma protestante, basandosi sui dati qualitativi raccolti in una sperimentazione effettuata sull’arco di quattro settimane in tre classi di terza media. Il lavoro ha cercato di mettere in opera il linguaggio gestuale secondo le sue peculiarità, evitandone invece un uso puramente vicariale rispetto alla parola. Gli esiti della sperimentazione sono stati incoraggianti, sia sul piano del clima di lavoro, sia sul piano degli apprendimenti a corto e a lungo termine. In particolare, i dati raccolti, sebbene non siano stati in grado di quantificare con esattezza l’efficacia della didattica gestuale, sono bastati a mostrare che un investimento di tempo, anche importante, nell’ambito delle lezioni di storia a favore di attività non verbali può essere giustificato, in quanto, tali attività sono da annoverare tra i fattori che hanno permesso a gran parte degli alunni coinvolti nella sperimentazione di affrontare positivamente un itinerario didattico concettualmente complesso.

The impact of cultural diversity as a tool to develop competitive advantage in the Nigerian banking industry
Creators: name: Ugwu, Cynthia Oluchi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Globalization has made the working environment a very culturally diverse place. Cultural diversity and its role in firm performance have become an important issue in the workplace. The study examined the effect of cultural diversity on competitive advantage in the Nigerian banking industry. In particular, the study focused on the elements of cultural diversity in the Nigerian banking industry; how cultural diversity influences competitive advantage; the relationship between cultural diversity and competitive advantage; and how issues of cultural diversity are managed. To achieve the objectives of the study, quantitative and qualitative data were used. Quantitative data were obtained from 305 employees from six (6) selected banks using a combination of simple random and convenience sampling techniques, respectively. Qualitative data was obtained via phone interviews with 24 respondents. The quantitative data was analysed using structural equation modeling while the qualitative data was based on thematic content analysis. The results revealed that cultural diversity affects the competitiveness of Nigerian banks by promoting management and innovation. The study also provided some theoretical andmanagerial contributions. The study makes some contributions to theory, such as confirming the stance of the cognitive diversity theory, which argues that various points of view coming from cultural differences between individuals in an organization bring about creative problem solving and innovation. This leads to a competitive advantage and member diversity is seen as a resource, capability, or competence, affirming the marketing-based view (MBV), the resourcebased view (RBV), knowledge-based view (KBV), capability-based view, and the relational view of strategy theories. Concerning managerial contribution, the study provided a 2-stage approach to managing cultural diversity in the Nigerian banking industry. The pre-stage approach is referred to as the first stage. Therefore, before an organization decides to diversify, first the process, structure, and operational philosophy should align to support the diversity of the workforce; second, management training programs for top-level management are necessary because it must start from the top if it is to be successful. The idea must then be presented to current employees so that they can put it into practice. Following implementation, success must be ensured through monitoring, measurement, assessment, and reward.

description: Il presente lavoro intende indagare il fenomeno migratorio attraverso l’impiego del laboratorio storico, al fine di sviluppare nel bambino una maggiore sensibilità al contesto in cui vive, promuovendo così un’educazione alla cittadinanza. La tematica scelta si lega alla storia famigliare della sottoscritta e in particolar modo al mio bisnonno Vittore Rigozzi (1884-1940), emigrato in America nel 1925 per far fortuna e mantenere la sua famiglia. L’indagine, il confronto diretto con le fonti storiche e la loro manipolazione sono alla base di una didattica attiva, che consente di indagare il fenomeno dell’emigrazione. I bambini, calandosi nei panni di uno “storico”, diventano protagonisti attivi nella costruzione del sapere, sviluppando una miglior comprensione del presente. La ricerca di parenti emigrati permette inoltre di valorizzare la propria storia famigliare. Relatore: Gabriele Piffaretti.

description: Imaging polarimetry allows more information to be extracted from a scene than conventional intensity or colour imaging. However, a major challenge of imaging polarimetry is image degradation due to noise. This paper investigates the mitigation of noise through denoising algorithms and compares existing denoising algorithms with a new method, based on BM3D. This algorithm, PBM3D, gives visual quality superior to the state of the art across all images and noise standard deviations tested. We show that denoising polarization images using PBM3D allows the degree of polarization to be more accurately calculated by comparing it to spectroscopy methods.

description: Thermally excited capillary waves at fluid interfaces in binary liquid mixtures exhibit simultaneously both density and composition fluctuations. Based on a density functional theory for inhomogeneous binary liquid mixtures we derive an effective wavelength dependent Hamiltonian for fluid interfaces in these systems beyond the standard capillary-wave model. Explicit expressions are obtained for the surface tension, the bending rigidities, and the coupling constants of compositional capillary waves in terms of the profiles of the two number densities characterizing the mixture. These results lead to predictions for grazing-incidence x-ray scattering experiments at such interfaces.

description: We review the prediction of fission properties of super-heavy elements (SHE) by self-consistent mean-field models thereby concentrating on the widely used Skyrme-Hartree-Fock (SHF) approach. We explain briefly the theoretical tools: the SHF model, the calibration of model parameters together with statistical analysis of uncertainties and correlations, and the involved computation of fission lifetimes. We present an overview of fission stability in comparison to other decay channels over the whole landscape of SHE reaching deep into the $r$-process domain. The main emphasis lies on a detailed discussion of the various ingredients determining eventually the fission properties. The main result is that fission is an involved process which explores many different influences with almost equal share, basic bulk properties (also known as liquid-drop model parameters), pairing strengths, and shell effects. %

description: The interaction between the electromagnetic field and plasmonic nanostructures leads to both the strong linear response and inherent nonlinear behavior. In this paper, a time-domain hydrodynamic model for describing the motion of electrons in plasmonic nanostructures is presented, in which both surface and bulk contributions of nonlinearity are considered. A coupled Maxwell-hydrodynamic system capturing full-wave physics and free electron dynamics is numerically solved with the parallel finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The validation of the proposed method is presented to simulate linear and nonlinear responses from a plasmonic metasurface. The linear response is compared with the Drude dispersion model and the nonlinear terahertz emission from a difference-frequency generation process is validated with theoretical analyses. The proposed scheme is fundamentally important to design nonlinear plasmonic nanodevices, especially for efficient and broadband THz emitters.

description: On December 16, 2017, a rockslide was triggered in the headwaters of the Burrito River (Chaitén district, 43.4° SL) which produced debris and mud flows that flooded Villa Santa Lucía, destroying half of the town’s urban area. These mass wasting events covered an area of 3 square-kilometers on Rute 7 and 1 square-kilometer on Rute 235, which resulted in twenty-one fatalities and one person still missing. The rockslide was produced by an intense rainfall which took place on the 15th and 16th of December, same year. The rainfall’s measured depth totaled 122.8 mm in only 24 hours, with a high isotherm of 0° (2.700 m asl). This event was preceded by a two-week-long period of high temperatures (22°C daily maximum) previously registered. The main playing factors were the presence of deeply altered volcanic rocks (clay-iron oxides) of the Cordón Yelcho Pleistocene Volcanic Range (SERNAGEOMIN- BRGM 1995) plus vertical fractures, open cracks and very steep slopes. The rockslide impacted a covered glacier and ice-cored moraine that resulted in a very high-speed blast, followed by large debris and mud flows that traveled a distance of 8 kilometers, deeply eroding the Burrito valley walls including its forest, soil and sediments (Duhart et al., 2018). A 7.2 x 106 m3 total of sediments, water, ice and vegetal coverage were estimated and about 2 x 106 m3 were deposited on a 9 x 105 m2 fan area, covering the northern area of Santa Lucía village. An average velocity of 72 km/h was estimated for the higher part of the flow (Fernandez et al., 2018), although the initial blast was higher due to the trees that were uprooted and torn alongside the valley walls. As of today, the rockslide scar is still unstable with steep slopes, open cracks, a prominent hanging block and vertical fractures. A Laser Scan monitoring test was developed and is currently under assessment design. The implementation of permanent monitoring beneficial to the understanding of the rock’s failure origins in the generation zone may enhance the development of an alert system for landslide hazard risk reduction.

description: The development of natural gas resources in the Marcellus Shale formation has progressed rapidly in the last several years, particularly in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These activities require many heavy truck trips for equipment and materials, which can damage state and local roads that were not designed for high volumes of heavy truck traffic. For state transportation agencies, one measure of costs of shale gas development is the potential degradation of roadways resulting from shale gas development. This technical note provides a first-order estimate of roadway consumptive use costs of additional heavy truck traffic on Pennsylvania statemaintained roadways from Marcellus Shale natural gas development in 2011, estimated at about $13,000- $23,000 per well for all state roadway types, or $5,000-$10,000 per well if state roads with the lowest traffic volumes are excluded. This initial estimate of costs is based on data on the distribution of well activity and roadway type in Pennsylvania, estimates for the number of heavy truck trips to construct and operate a single well, the corresponding equivalent single-axle loadings, and estimates of roadway life and reconstruction costs by roadway maintenance class in Pennsylvania.

Le modalità per permettere agli allievi di sviluppare le proprie competenze ortografiche sono molte e la presente ricerca ne prende in esame due: una più tradizionale, basata sull’allenamento su scheda, e l’altra più innovativa, che, attraverso l’uso dello sfondo metaforico del “Bosco incantato della Valle dell’ortografia”, oltre alle attività su scheda, propone attività laboratoriali e ludiche. Per la ricerca sono state messe a confronto due classi di seconda elementare nelle quali sono state differenziate le modalità di insegnamento dell’ortografia, con l’obiettivo di indagare se l’utilizzo di un percorso incentrato su uno sfondo metaforico e su attività ludiche e laboratoriali possa risultare didatticamente più efficace rispetto a un percorso che presenta modalità più tradizionali, o se le due modalità portano a risultati simili. I dati ricavati dalla comparazione dei risultati ottenuti dagli allievi delle due classi nel dettato in entrata e in uscita hanno permesso di stabilire che entrambe le modalità utilizzate sono efficaci dal punto di vista del rendimento. Infatti, il numero di errori commessi dagli allievi di entrambe le classi è diminuito. Un’intervista individuale ha permesso, però, di affermare che la modalità più innovativa permette agli allievi di imparare con maggiore motivazione. Relatrice: Silvia Demartini.

description: Micro- and nanoscale objects with anisotropic shape are key components of a variety of biological systems and inert complex materials, and represent fundamental building blocks of novel self-assembly strategies. The time scale of their thermal motion is set by their translational and rotational diffusion coefficients, whose measurement may become difficult for relatively large particles with small optical contrast. Here we show that Dark Field Differential Dynamic Microscopy is the ideal tool for probing the roto-translational Brownian motion of shape anisotropic particles. We demonstrate our approach by successful application to aqueous dispersions of non-motile bacteria and of colloidal aggregates of spherical particles.

description: Automated vehicles represent a technology that promises to increase mobility for many groups, including the senior population (those over age 65) but also for non-drivers and people with medical conditions. This paper estimates bounds on the potential increases in travel in a fully automated vehicle environment due to an increase in mobility from the non-driving and senior populations and people with travel-restrictive medical conditions. In addition, these bounding estimates indicate which of these demographics could have the greatest increases in annual vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and highlight those age groups and genders within these populations that could contribute the most to the VMT increases. The data source is the 2009 National Household Transportation Survey (NHTS), which provides information on travel characteristics of the U.S. population. The changes to light-duty VMT are estimated by creating and examining three possible travel demand wedges. In demand wedge one, non-drivers are assumed to travel as much as the drivers within each age group and gender. Demand wedge two assumes that the driving elderly (those over age 65) without medical conditions will travel as much as a younger population within each gender. Demand wedge three makes the assumption that working age adult drivers (19-64) with medical conditions will travel as much as working age adults without medical conditions within each gender, while the driving elderly with medical any travel-restrictive conditions will travel as much as a younger demographic within each gender in a fully automated vehicle environment. The combination of the results from all three demand wedges represents an upper bound of 295 billion miles or a 14% increase in annual light-duty VMT for the US population 19 and older. Since traveling has other costs besides driving effort, these estimates serve to bound the potential increase from these populations to inform the scope of the challenges, rather than forecast specific VMT scenarios.

Some of the main questions that arise from this project are, is it possible to revive the past through reconstruction in the first place, and should we try to? What is the wider discourse that has made replica buildings multiply in the city of Istanbul, and what are the dangers? Why is this project so politically charged? What are the implications for the discipline of history?

description: We discuss a mixed-action approach in which sea quarks are regularised using non-perturbatively ${\rm O}(a)$ improved Wilson fermions, while a fully-twisted tmQCD action is used for valence quarks. In this setup, automatic ${\rm O}(a)$ improvement is preserved for valence observables, apart from small residual ${\rm O}(a)$ effects from the sea. A strategy for matching sea and valence is set up, and carried out for $N_\mathrm{f}=2+1$ CLS ensembles with open boundary conditions at several simulation points. The scaling of basic light-quark observables such as the pseudoscalar meson decay constant is studied, as well as the isospin splitting of pseudoscalar meson masses.

description: In this paper we study the noncommutative supersymmetric $CP^{(N-1)}$ model in 2+1 dimensions, where the basic field is in the fundamental representation which, differently to the adjoint representation already studied in the literature, goes to the usual supersymmetric $CP^{(N-1)}$ model in the commutative limit. We analyze the phase structure of the model and calculate the leading and subleading corrections in a 1/N expansion. We prove that the theory is free of non-integrable UV/IR infrared singularities and is renormalizable in the leading order. The two-point vertex function of the basic field is also calculated and renormalized in an explicitly supersymmetric way up to the subleading order.

description: Abstract: "Arguing that design is a social process, we expand the meaning of modeling and analysis to include all activities facilitating continual refinement and criticism of the design requirements, process, and solutions. We do not assume any a priori methods for modeling or analysis: rather, we provide a framework and an approach to study designers and give them whatever modeling and analysis capabilities they choose. Our approach is the basis for a support tool, n-dim, currently under development."

description: We study the equilibrium behavior of one-dimensional granular clusters and one-particle granular gases for a variety of velocity dependent coefficients of restitution $r$. We obtain equations describing of the long time behavior for the cluster's pressure, r.m.s. velocity and granular inter-spacing. We show that for extremely long times, clusters with velocity dependent coefficients of restitution are unstable and dissolve into homogeneous, quasi-elastic gases, but clusters with velocity independent $r$ are permanent. This is in accordance with hydrodynamic studies pointing to the transient nature of density instabilities for granular gases with velocity dependent $r$.

description: Introducing a simple Galactic wind model patterned after the solar wind we show that back-tracing the orbits of the highest energy cosmic events suggests that they may all come from the Virgo cluster, and so probably from the active radio galaxy M87. This confirms a long standing expectation. Those powerful radio galaxies that have their relativistic jets stuck in the interstellar medium of the host galaxy, such as 3C147, will then enable us to derive limits on the production of any new kind of particle, expected in some extensions of the standard model in particle physics. New data from HIRES will be crucial in testing the model proposed here.

description: We investigate the electronic and magnetic structures of the 122 (AM$_2$B$_2$) hexagonal transition-metal pnictides with A=(Sr, Ca), M=(Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) and B=(As, P, Sb). It is found that the family of materials share critical similarities with those of tetragonal structures that include the famous iron-based high temperature superconductors. In both families, the next nearest neighbor(NNN) effective antiferromagnetic(AFM) exchange couplings reach the maximum value in the iron-based materials. While the NNN couplings in the latter are known to be responsible for the C-type AFM state and to result in the extended s-wave superconducting state upon doping, they cause the former to be extremely frustrated magnetic systems and can lead to an time reversal symmetry broken $d+id$ superconducting state upon doping. The iron-based compounds with the hexagonal structure, thus if synthesized, can help us to determine the origin of high temperature superconductivity.

The $M_{\bullet} - σ$ relation in spherical systems

description: To investigate the $M_\bullet -σ$ relation, we consider realistic elliptical galaxy profiles that are taken to follow a single power law density profile given by $ρ(r) = ρ_{0}(r/ r_{0})^{-γ}$ or the Nuker intensity profile. We calculate the density using Abel's formula in the latter case by employing the derived stellar potential in both cases, we derive the distribution function $f(E)$ of the stars in presence of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center and hence compute the line of sight (LOS) velocity dispersion as a function of radius. For the typical range of values for masses of SMBH, we obtain $M_{\bullet} \propto σ^{p}$ for different profiles. An analytical relation $p = (2γ+ 6)/(2 + γ)$ is found which is in reasonable agreement with observations (for $γ$ = 0.75 - 1.4, $p$ = 3.6 - 5.3). Assuming that a proportionality relation holds between the black hole mass and bulge mass, $ M_{\bullet} =f M_b$, and applying this to several galaxies we find the individual best fit values of $p$ as a function of $f$; also by minimizing $χ^{2}$, we find the best fit global $p$ and $f$. For Nuker profiles we find that $p$ = $3.81 \pm 0.004$ and $f$ = $(1.23 \pm 0.09)\times 10^{-3}$ which are consistent with the observed ranges.

Glueballs vs. Gluinoballs: Fluctuation Spectra in Non-AdS/Non-CFT

description: Building on earlier results on holographic bulk dynamics in confining gauge theories, we compute the spin-0 and spin-2 spectra of gauge theories dual to the non-singular Maldacena-Nunez and Klebanov-Strassler supergravity backgrounds. We construct and apply a numerical recipe for computing mass spectra from certain determinants. In the Klebanov-Strassler case, states containing the glueball and gluinoball obey "quadratic confinement", i.e. their mass-squareds depend on consecutive number as m^2 ~ n^2 for large n, with a universal proportionality constant. The hardwall approximation appears to work poorly when compared to the unique spectra we find in the full theory with a smooth cap-off in the infrared.

description: In both H.264 and HEVC, context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) is adopted as the entropy coding method. CABAC relies on manually designed binarization processes as well as handcrafted context models, which may restrict the compression efficiency. In this paper, we propose an arithmetic coding strategy by training neural networks, and make preliminary studies on coding of the intra prediction modes in HEVC. Instead of binarization, we propose to directly estimate the probability distribution of the 35 intra prediction modes with the adoption of a multi-level arithmetic codec. Instead of handcrafted context models, we utilize convolutional neural network (CNN) to perform the probability estimation. Simulation results show that our proposed arithmetic coding leads to as high as 9.9% bits saving compared with CABAC.

A Structure for Quasars

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper proposes a simple, empirically derived, unifying structure for the inner regions of quasars. This structure is constructed to explain the broad absorption line (BAL) regions, the narrow `associated' ultraviolet and X-ray warm absorbers (NALs); and is also found to explain the broad emission line regions (BELR), and several scattering features, including a substantial fraction of the broad X-ray Iron-K emission line, and the bi-conical extended narrow emission line region (ENLR) structures seen on large kiloparsec scales in Seyfert images. Small extensions of the model to allow luminosity dependent changes in the structure may explain the UV and X-ray Baldwin effects and the greater prevalence of obscuration in low luminosity AGN.

description: The blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, its most prevalent application, continue to gain acceptance and wide traction in research and practice within academia and the industry because of its promise in decentralised and distributed computing. Notably, the meteoric rise in the value and number of cryptocurrencies since the creation of Bitcoin in 2009 have ushered in newer innovations and interventions that addressed some of the prominent issues that affect these platforms. Despite the increased privacy, security, scalability, and energy-saving capabilities of new consensus protocols in newer systems, the development and management of blockchains, mostly, do not reflect the decentralisation principle despite blockchains being decentralised and distributed in their architecture. The concept of treasury has been identified as a tool to address this problem. We explore the idea of blockchain treasury systems within literature and practice, especially with relation to funding and decision-making power towards blockchain development and maintenance. Consequently, we propose a taxonomy for treasury models within cryptocurrencies. Thereafter, we propose an efficient community-controlled and decentralised collaborative decision-making mechanism to support the development and management of blockchains. Our proposed system incentivises participants and is proven secure under the universally composable (UC) framework while also addressing gaps identified from our investigation of prior systems e.g. non-private ballots and insecure voting. Furthermore, we adapt our system and propose a privacy-preserving general decision making system for blockchain governance that supports privacy-centric cryptocurrencies. Besides, using a set of metrics, we introduce a consensus analysis mechanism to enhance the utility of decision-making of the systems by evaluating individual choices against collective (system-wide) decisions. Finally, we provide pilot system implementations with benchmark results confirming the efficiency and practicality of our constructions.
