description: The Roman complex at Ponterotto in the Pesa valley comprises a series of buildings, dating from the 1st to the 6th century CE. The paper gives a detailed report on the results of the excavations conducted 2010 till 2012 which resulted in the identification of six periods. The entire architectural complex has undergone remarkable transformations both in function and design. Although commonly recognized as Roman villa some anomalies with respect to the ‘classic’ model of a Roman productive villa are recognized. Thus, also based on the study of the materials found, a new interpretation of Ponterotto as mansio is proposed.

The CO distribution around 1=30°, b=0°

description: The 4.6m millimeter wave telescope at the University of British Columbia has been used to map a region 1/2° in diameter centered on 1=30°, b=0° in the J=1->0 transition of ¹²C¹⁶0. This study of the inner edge of the galactic molecular ring has revealed two well defined giant molecular clouds with diameters of approximately 30 pc and masses in the order of 5 x 10⁵ M⊙. In addition our analysis indicates that a substantial fraction, amounting to approximately 30%, of the integrated CO intensity comes from a feature covering the entire field observed. We have also found a complex of four clouds whose linewidths are a factor of two greater than those of the standard giant molecular clouds. The nature of these clouds is at present uncertain. The number of clouds detected in our survey gives as 5000 the total number of giant molecular clouds in the galaxy.

description: We re-analyze the M31 microlensing event WeCAPP-GL1/Point-AGAPE-S3 taking into account that stars are not point-like but extended. We show that the finite size of stars can dramatically change the self-lensing eventrate and (less dramatically) also the halo lensing eventrate, if events are as bright as WeCAPP-GL1. The brightness of the brightest events mostly depends on the source sizes and fluxes and on the distance distribution of sources and lenses and therefore can be used as a sensitive discriminator between halo-lensing and self-lensing events, provided the stellar population mix of source stars is known well enough. Using a realistic model for the 3D-light distribution, stellar population and extinction of M31, we show that an event like WeCAPP-GL1 is very unlikely to be caused by self-lensing. In the entire WeCAPP-field ($17.2'\times 17.2'$ centered on the bulge) we expect only one self-lensing event every 49 years with the approximate parameters of WeCAPP-GL1 (time-scale 1-3d, $R$ flux-excess <19.0 mag). If we assume only 20% of the dark halos of M31 and the Milky-Way consist of 1 solar mass MACHOs an event like WeCAPP-GL1 would occur every 10 years. Further more, if one uses position, FWHM time scale, flux excess and color of WeCAPP-GL1, self-lensing is even 13 times less likely than lensing by a MACHO, if MACHOs contribute 20% to the total halo mass and have masses in the range of 0.1 to 4 solar masses. We also demonstrate that (i) the brightness distribution of events in general is a good discriminator between self and halo lensing (ii) the time-scale distribution is a good discriminator if the MACHO mass is larger than 0.5 solar masses. Future surveys of M31 like PAndromeda (Pan-STARRS 1) should be able to provide many more such events within the next 4 years.

description: We present the collective excitation spectrum analysis of binary Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with spin-orbit (SO) and Rabi couplings in a quasi-two-dimensional system. In particular, we investigate the role of SO and Rabi coupling strengths in determining the dynamical stability of the coupled BECs using Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) theory. Using the eigenergy of BdG spectrum, we confirm the existence of phonon, roton, and maxon modes with weak repulsive intra- and inter-species contact interactions. The depth of the minimum corresponding to the roton mode depends strongly on the coupling strength. We find that the increase of the SO coupling leads to instability, while the increase in the Rabi coupling stabilizes the system. Also the eigenvectors of BdG spectrum indicates the presence of density like mode in the stable regime and spin like modes in unstable regimes. A phase diagram demonstrating the stability regime in the plane of SO and Rabi coupling strengths is obtained. Finally, we complement the observation of the excitation spectrum with the direct numerical simulation results of coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations.

description: We compute the average luminosity of X-ray flares as a function of time, for a sample of 10 long-duration gamma-ray burst afterglows. The mean luminosity, averaged over a timescale longer than the duration of the individual flares, declines as a power-law in time with index ~-1.5. We elaborate on the properties of the central engine that can produce such a decline. Assuming that the engine is an accreting compact object, and for a standard conversion factor between accretion rate and jet luminosity, the switch between a neutrino-cooled thin disk and a non-cooled thick disk takes place at the transition from the prompt to the flaring phase. We discuss the implications of this coincidence under different scenarios for the powering of the GRB outflow. We also show that the interaction of the outflow with the envelope of the progenitor star cannot produce flares out of a continuous relativistic flow, and conclude that it is the dynamics of the disk or the jet-launching mechanism that generates an intrinsically unsteady outflow on timescales much longer than the dynamical timescale of the system. This is consistent with the fact that X-ray flares are observed in short-duration GRBs as well as in long-duration ones.

Thai Baan Methodology and Transdisciplinarity as Collaborative Research Practices: Common Ground and Divergent Directions
Creators: name: Heis, Alexandra
name: Vaddhanaphuti, Chayan
Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies
Year: 2020

description: Thai Baan research was developed in the late 1990s as a counter-hegemonic, emancipatory means of knowledge production. Originally developed in the context of protests against a hydropower project, it aims at empowering socially and economically marginalized actors to create and represent their own knowledge and to regain authority in social struggles. This decolonial methodology, conceptualized by Thai academics in collaboration with non-academic actors, has remained largely unnoticed by Northern collaborative or transdisciplinary debates. Transdisciplinary research, although engaged in collaborative research designs, often remains silent on issues of power imbalances as constitutive of research processes. Criticizing the compartmentalization and limitation of academic knowledge production, transdisciplinarity realigns the scientific system of knowledge production to deal with ‘real-world problems’. During the last three decades, transdisciplinarity has unfolded into a collaborative and integrative methodology implemented in a number of fields, such as sustainability, public health, and development planning. This article systematically introduces Thai Baan and transdisciplinarity as two approaches to collaborative research practice. It introduces the context of their emergence, sheds light on the respective notions of knowledge and science, and discusses their respective methodological designs. It is argued that both would benefit from a stronger epistemological foundation in decolonizing, liberating philosophies of science to enhance collaborative action, overcome North-South divisions, and foster global dialogues in emancipatory knowledge production.

description: Defense against cyberattacks is an emerging topic related to fault-tolerant control. In order to avoid difficult mathematical modeling, model-free control (MFC) is suggested as an alternative to classical control. For illustration purpose a Load Frequency Control of multi-areas power network is considered. In the simulations, load altering attacks and Denial of Service (DoS) in the communication network are applied to the system. Our aim is to compare the impact of cyberattacks on control loops closed via respectively a classical controller in such situations and a model-free one. Computer experiments show impressive results with MFC.

description: We investigate the theoretical limits of the effect of the quantum interaction distance on the speed of exact quantum addition circuits. For this study, we exploit graph embedding for quantum circuit analysis. We study a logical mapping of qubits and gates of any $Ω(\log n)$-depth quantum adder circuit for two $n$-qubit registers onto a practical architecture, which limits interaction distance to the nearest neighbors only and supports only one- and two-qubit logical gates. Unfortunately, on the chosen $k$-dimensional practical architecture, we prove that the depth lower bound of any exact quantum addition circuits is no longer $Ω(\log {n})$, but $Ω(\sqrt[k]{n})$. This result, the first application of graph embedding to quantum circuits and devices, provides a new tool for compiler development, emphasizes the impact of quantum computer architecture on performance, and acts as a cautionary note when evaluating the time performance of quantum algorithms.

Institutional Prospects and Challenges to Transdisciplinary Approach in the Knowledge Production System of Vietnam
Creators: name: Doi, Nguyen Minh
Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies
Year: 2020

description: Drawing on neo-institutionalism in policy studies, this paper aims to demonstrate that transdisciplinarity is a new logic that could challenge the existing institutional logic of the knowledge production system in Vietnam. This institutional interplay is examined by analyzing the institutional response, interactions, and choices of stakeholders participating in an EU Erasmus+ Capacity Building Project. The analysis shows that the transdisciplinarity concept can be used as a potential framework for the develop- ment path of the dominant logic characterized by the shift from a traditional statist to a market-oriented model for knowledge production. Nevertheless, there are challenges like power relations in the interplay processes among actors who try to reproduce existing institutional logic and those who support transdisciplinary logic, as well as regarding relevant decision-makers to make institutional choices. The discussion shows that when applying transdisciplinarity, one should consider the motivation and barriers regarding state control, transdisciplinary readiness, hybrid models, funding, and experience.

description: Weak gravitational lensing is a unique probe of the dark side of the universe: it provides a direct way to map the distribution of dark matter around galaxies, clusters of galaxies and on cosmological scales. Furthermore, the measurement of lensing induced distortions of the shapes of distant galaxies is a powerful probe of dark energy. In this review we describe how lensing measurements are made and interpreted. We discuss various systematic effects that can hamper progress and how they may be overcome. We review some of the recent results in weak lensing by galaxies, galaxy clusters and cosmic shear and discuss the prospects for dark energy measurements from planned surveys.

description: We investigate the undetermined sets consisting of two-level, multi-partite pure quantum states, whose reduced density matrices give absolutely no information of their original states. Two approached of finding these quantum states are proposed. One is to establish the relation between codewords of the stabilizer quantum error correction codes (SQECCs) and the undetermined states. The other is to study the local complementation rules of the graph states. As an application, the undetermined states can be exploited in the quantum secret sharing scheme. The security is guaranteed by their undetermineness.

description: Solid-state nanopore sensors are an emerging platform for performing single-molecule characterization of biomolecules such as DNA. With the advent of Controlled Breakdown (CBD), creating a simple, tunable, ultra-low concentration sensing device in situ has enabled their direct integration with a host of platforms. The simplicity and sensitivity in performing measurements allows nanopore-based technologies to find uses which enhance existing methods. One such promising avenue for nanopore-based sensing is in the detection of infectious diseases, where early and accurate identification of the causative pathogen is essential for successful patient outcomes. Conventional assays, while effective, often have limitations in speed, cost, or target sensitivity, and may benefit from nanopore sensing approaches. However, solid-state nanopores currently lack the ability to discriminate between biomarkers sharing identical size and charge densities, such as sequentially-heterogeneous strands of DNA. Addressing the weakness of both conventional assays and nanopores could come from combining nanopore sensing with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a well-established and highly-selective nucleic acid amplification scheme. PCR is designed to produce large quantities of identical fragments of DNA, known as amplicons, if a user-defined parent copy is present. After the PCR process has finished, the signals produced by this population of amplicons on a nanopore sensor should therefore be indicative to the presence of a DNA biomarker in the starting sample. As PCR reactions can use a mix of different proteins, detergents, and other molecules, the challenge lies in ensuring the compatibility of these reagents with a nanopore, and determining whether the background signal they produce can be discriminated from an amplicon signal. To this end, this thesis investigates PCR-nanopore compatibility, and experimentally demonstrates a nanopore signal-classification technique to successfully identify the presence of chromosomal DNA from Group A Streptococcus (GAS), an infectious bacterium responsible for strep throat, in samples derived from clinical extracts.
The effect of triamcinolone acetonide on collagen synthesis by human and mouse dermal fibroblasts in cell culture
Creators: name: Tan, Elaine Mei Li
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Glucocorticoids are known to affect metabolic activities of cells. The mechanism of glucocorticoid actions in adult human dermal and mouse L-929 fibroblasts have yet to be fully ascertained. This study endeavors to examine the effects of one glucocorticoid, triamcinolone acetonide, on cellular proliferation and collagen synthesis and to compare such effects in the human and mouse cell lines. Cellular proliferation and collagen synthesis are analyzed and quantitated by cell counts and selective digestion of the protein by bacterial collagenase, respectively. Further analysis of collagen synthesis is provided by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. One-tenth triamcinolone acetonide per ml suppresses cellular proliferation of mouse L-929 fibroblasts. Proline incorporation into total and collagenase-sensitive protein is enhanced in the cell layer; that of medium is altered inconsistently. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins treated with pepsin show the abolition of total and collagenase-sensitive protein in the cell layer. Aberrations in hydroxylation and/or deformation in physical structure of protein may confer greater susceptibility to pepsin digestion. Cellular proliferation and proline incorporation into total and collagenase-sensitive protein of adult human dermal fibroblasts are affected inconsistently by the same dose of triamcinolone acetonide. Except for the consistent suppression of cellular proliferation in the murine L-929 fibroblasts by triamcinolone acetonide, all observations pertaining to human dermal fibroblasts are incompatible with those obtained by other workers. Manipulation of culture conditions and glucocorticoid treatment dictate, to a large extent, the kind of responses observed. This could account for the wide variability and frequent contradictory findings reported in the literature.

description: We present far-UV spectroscopy obtained with HST for 48 blue objects in the core of 47 Tuc. Based on their position in a FUV-optical colour-magnitude diagram, these were expected to include cataclysmic variables (CVs), blue stragglers (BSs), white dwarfs (WDs) and other exotic objects. For a subset of these sources, we also construct FUV-NIR SEDs. Based on our analysis of this extensive data set, we report the following main results. (1) We spectroscopically confirm 3 previously known or suspected CVs via the detection of emission lines and find new evidence for dwarf nova eruptions in two of these. (2) Only one other source in our spectroscopic sample exhibits marginal evidence for line emission, but predicted and observed CV numbers still agree to within a factor of about 2-3. (3) We have discovered a hot (T_eff = 8700 K), low-mass (M = 0.05 M_sun) secondary star in a previously known 0.8 day binary system. This exotic object is probably the remnant of a subgiant that has been stripped of its envelope and may represent the ``smoking gun'' of a recent dynamical encounter. (4) We have found a Helium WD, the second to be optically detected in 47 Tuc, and the first outside a millisecond-pulsar system. (5) We have discovered a BS-WD binary system, the first known in any globular cluster. (6) We have found two additional candidate WD binary systems with putative main sequence and subgiant companions. (7) We estimate the WD binary fraction in the core of 47 Tuc to be 15 +17/-9 (stat) +8/-7 (sys). (8) One BS in our sample may exceed twice the cluster turn-off mass, but the uncertainties are large. Taken as a whole, our study illustrates the wide range of stellar exotica that are lurking in the cores of GCs, most of which are likely to have undergone significant dynamical encounters. [abridged]

description: Explicit construction of the basic SU(2) anti-instantons over the multi-Taub--NUT geometry via the classical conformal rescaling method is exhibited. These anti-instantons satisfiy the so-called weak holonomy condition at infinity with respect to the trivial flat connection and decay rapidly. The resulting unital energy anti-instantons have trivial holonomy at infinity. We also fully describe their unframed moduli space and find that it is a five dimensional space admitting a singular disk-fibration over R^3. On the way, we work out in detail the twistor space of the multi-Taub--NUT geometry together with its real structure and transform our anti-instantons into holomorphic vector bundles over the twistor space. In this picture we are able to demonstrate that our construction is complete in the sense that we have constructed a full connected component of the moduli space of solutions of the above type. We also prove that anti-instantons with arbitrary high integer energy exist on the multi-Taub--NUT space.

description: 23. Lyonetiidae – lyonetiid moths Minute (4–11 mm wingspan) moths with narrow lanceolate wings. Adults have an enlarged first antennal segment, which forms an eye cap, and they often have a large tuft of scales on the vertex of the head. Externally, they are very similar to gracillariids and bucculatricids, but can be distinguished by the head, which is dorsoventrally flattened, rather than round (in gracillariids) or triangular and hypognathous (in bucculatricids). Larvae are leafminers or twig miners. Approximately 210 species of lyonetiids are known worldwide, from all regions. Twenty-two species are known in North America; two of these are known from AB, and other species will likely be discovered in the province as well. Th e group is in need of revision; the only taxonomic work in the past 50 years is by Schmitt et al. (1996), who dealt with one species.

Absence of a consistent classical equation of motion for a mass-renormalized point charge

description: The restrictions of analyticity, relativistic (Born) rigidity, and negligible O(a) terms involved in the evaluation of the self electromagnetic force on an extended charged sphere of radius "a" are explicitly revealed and taken into account in order to obtain a classical equation of motion of the extended charge that is both causal and conserves momentum-energy. Because the power-series expansion used in the evaluation of the self force becomes invalid during transition time intervals immediately following the application and termination of an otherwise analytic externally applied force, transition forces must be included during these transition time intervals to remove the noncausal pre-acceleration and pre-deceleration from the solutions to the equation of motion without the transition forces. For the extended charged sphere, the transition forces can be chosen to maintain conservation of momentum-energy in the causal solutions to the equation of motion within the restrictions of relativistic rigidity and negligible O(a) terms under which the equation of motion is derived. However, it is shown that renormalization of the electrostatic mass to a finite value as the radius of the charge approaches zero introduces a violation of momentum-energy conservation into the causal solutions to the equation of motion of the point charge if the magnitude of the external force becomes too large. That is, the causal classical equation of motion of a point charge with renormalized mass experiences a high acceleration catastrophe.

description: In this paper, we investigate the Axion-like Particle inflation by applying the multi-nature inflation model, where the end of inflation is achieved through the phase transition (PT). The events of PT should not be less than $200$, which results in the free parameter $n\geq404$. Under the latest CMB restrictions, we found that the inflation energy is fixed at $10^{15} \rm{GeV}$. Then, we deeply discussed the corresponding stochastic background of the primordial gravitational wave (GW) during inflation. We study the two kinds of $n$ cases, i.e., $n=404, 2000$. We observe that the magnitude of $n$ is negligible for the physical observations, such as $n_s$, $r$, $Λ$, and $Ω_{\rm{GW}}h^2$. In the low-frequency regions, the GW is dominated by the quantum fluctuations, and this GW can be detected by Decigo at $10^{-1}~\rm{Hz}$. However, GW generated by PT dominates the high-frequency regions, which is expected to be detected by future 3DSR detector.

description: The classical multiplicative (Hirzebruch) genera of manifolds have the wonderful property which is called rigidity. Rigidity of a genus h means that if a compact connected Lie group G acts on a manifold X, then the equivariant genus h^G(X) is independent on G, i.e. h^G(X)=h(X). In this paper we are considering the rigidity problem for complex manifolds. In particular, we are proving that a genus is rigid if and only if it is a generalized Todd genus.

description: We study the energy distributions of dipion transitions $Υ(5S)$ to $Υ(1S,2S,3S)π^+π^-$ in the final state rescattering model. Since the $Υ(5S)$ is well above the open bottom thresholds, the dipion transitions are expected to mainly proceed through the real processes $Υ(5S)\to B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ and $B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}\to Υ(1S,2S,3S)π^+π^-$. We find that the energy distributions of $Υ(1S,2S,3S)π^+π^-$ markedly differ from that of $Υ(5S)\to B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$. In particular, the resonance peak will be pushed up by about 7-20 MeV for these dipion transitions relative to the main hadronic decay modes. These predictions can be used to test the final state rescattering mechanism in hadronic transitions for heavy quarkonia above the open flavor thresholds.

description: The optical and gamma-ray observations of GRB 080319B allow us to determine a fairly complete physical picture for this remarkable burst. The data indicate that the prompt optical and gamma-ray photons were produced at the same location but by different radiation processes: synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton, respectively. The burst emission was produced at a distance of 10^{16.5} cm from the center of explosion by an ultra-relativistic source moving at Lorentz factor of ~500. A straightforward inference is that about 10 times more energy must have been radiated at tens of GeV than that released at ~1 MeV. Assuming that the GRB outflow was baryonic and that the gamma-ray source was shock-heated plasma, the collimation-corrected kinetic energy of the jet powering GRB 080319B was larger than 10^{52.3} erg. The decay of the early afterglow optical emission (up to 1 ks) is too fast to be attributed to the reverse shock crossing the GRB ejecta but is consistent with the expectations for the "large-angle emission" released during the burst. The pure power-law decay of the optical afterglow flux from 1 ks to 10 day is most naturally identified with the (synchrotron) emission from the shock propagating into a wind-like medium. However, the X-ray afterglow requires a departure from the standard blast-wave model.

description: In grand unified theories with large numbers of fields, renormalization effects significantly modify the scale at which quantum gravity becomes strong. This in turn can modify the boundary conditions for coupling constant unification, if higher dimensional operators induced by gravity are taken into consideration. We show that the generic size of these effects from gravity can be larger than the two-loop corrections typically considered in renormalization group analyses of unification. In some cases, gravitational effects of modest size can render unification impossible.

Evaluation of Dynamic Cointegration-Based Pairs Trading Strategy in the Cryptocurrency Market

description: This research aims to demonstrate a dynamic cointegration-based pairs trading strategy, including an optimal look-back window framework in the cryptocurrency market, and evaluate its return and risk by applying three different scenarios. We employ the Engle-Granger methodology, the Kapetanios-Snell-Shin (KSS) test, and the Johansen test as cointegration tests in different scenarios. We calibrate the mean-reversion speed of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process to obtain the half-life used for the asset selection phase and look-back window estimation. By considering the main limitations in the market microstructure, our strategy exceeds the naive buy-and-hold approach in the Bitmex exchange. Another significant finding is that we implement a numerous collection of cryptocurrency coins to formulate the model's spread, which improves the risk-adjusted profitability of the pairs trading strategy. Besides, the strategy's maximum drawdown level is reasonably low, which makes it useful to be deployed. The results also indicate that a class of coins has better potential arbitrage opportunities than others. This research has some noticeable advantages, making it stand out from similar studies in the cryptocurrency market. First is the accuracy of data in which minute-binned data create the signals in the formation period. Besides, to backtest the strategy during the trading period, we simulate the trading signals using best bid/ask quotes and market trades. We exclusively take the order execution into account when the asset size is already available at its quoted price (with one or more period gaps after signal generation). This action makes the backtesting much more realistic.

description: [Information exchange between financial administration and protection of taxpayer] The economic globalization and trade liberalization lead to the increase of tax evasion cases and tax fraud; taxpayers tend to take advantage of different tax systems’ peculiarities in order to obtain fiscal saving. For this reason, States can’t anymore act in complete autonomy, but they need cooperation instruments to be used between different administrations. This article intends to examine the discipline of information exchange in the Community context and at international level analyzing, on one hand, the 2011/16/EU Directive on administrative cooperation in the field of taxation between EU Member States (amendment of 77/799/CEE Directive) and, on the other, the article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on double taxation regarding to information exchange. International cooperation can’t take account exclusively of States’ interests and of their institutional relationships, but it must also consider taxpayers’ interests and rights. In this regard, the article deals also with the analysis of the protection of taxpayer’s rights.

description: We consider a spatially homogeneous and isotropic system of Dirac particles coupled to classical gravity. The dust and radiation dominated closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker space-times are recovered as limiting cases. We find a mechanism where quantum oscillations of the Dirac wave functions can prevent the formation of the big bang or big crunch singularity. Thus before the big crunch, the collapse of the universe is stopped by quantum effects and reversed to an expansion, so that the universe opens up entering a new era of classical behavior. Numerical examples of such space-times are given, and the dependence on various parameters is discussed. Generically, one has a collapse after a finite number of cycles. By fine-tuning the parameters we construct an example of a space-time which is time-periodic, thus running through an infinite number of contraction and expansion cycles.

description: Background: Testing IoT software is challenging due to large scale, volume of data and heterogeneity. Testing automation is a much-needed feature in the domain. Aims: The first goal of this research is to explore the requirements and challenges of IoT testing automation. The second goal is to integrate testing automation tools used in commercial software into the IoT context. Method: A systematic literature review is carried out to elicit requirements for testing automation in IoT. A design science approach is followed to build a testing automation tool for IoT applications written in the Node-Red platform, using the commercial testing automation tool Selenium. The resulting framework uses the Selenium Web Driver for browser-based testing automation for IoT applications. Results: The proposed framework has been functionally tested on multiple browsers with preliminary evaluation on maintainability, browser capability and comprehensiveness. Conclusions: The use of commercial tools for testing automation in IoT is feasible. However, major challenges like high data volumes and parallel transmission and processing of data need to be addressed comprehensively for complete integration.
