description: The economic development of China has transformed from factor-driven type to innovation-driven type, and the upgrading of industrial structure is very important. In this paper, in order to explore the path of the coupling effect of modern service industry and agriculture, based on previous research and practical experience, we select 14 indicators, and then use the theory of dissipative structure, coupling degree and coupling coordination degree to measure the coupling phase of modern service industry and agriculture. On this basis, we use the spillover effect for the empirical testing of influence of modern service industry on agricultural development. The study shows that modern service industry and agriculture in our country are at the medium coupling, and in the early stage of development. The spillover effects of China's modern service industry on China's economic development and agricultural progress are significant. Finally, the policy recommendations are put forward from tourism, logistics and so on to promote the coupling of modern service industry and agriculture and provide a reference for promoting the coupling level of China's modern service industry and agriculture.

title: A multilevel, multi-mode framework for standardization in digital B2B platform eco-systems in international cargo transportation — A multiple case study
Creators: name: Tessmann, Ruben

Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2025

description: Standardization is gaining importance for digital platform eco-systems as they try to balance both stability and flexibility of their core as well as their boundary resources. Our knowledge on which factors influence standardization processes in business-to-business (B2B) focused digital platform eco-systems remains limited. Using three B2B platform eco-systems from the cargo transportation and seaport eco-system context, we apply a multiple case study to investigate which factors affect the standardization mode and the standard adoption. Based on 19 interviews and a systematic coding procedure, we identified 24 factors and cluster them into four overarching themes. We show the relatedness between standardization and innovation research, identify standard characteristics as the most important theme of factors and show that standardization has to be seen as a dynamic and interconnected process, as some factors are interdependent but the controllability varies between factors. Lastly, implications of these results and future research directions are discussed.

description: This paper discusses four major argumentation theoretical frameworks with respect to their use in support of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). We consider these frameworks as useful tools for both system-centred and usercentred XAI. The former is concerned with the generation of explanations for decisions taken by AI systems, while the latter is concerned with the way explanations are given to users and received by them.

description: Abstract: Background: Evidence suggests eating home-prepared food (HPF) is associated with increased dietary quality, while dietary quality varies across socio-demographic factors. Although it has been hypothesised that variation in HPF consumption between population sub-groups may contribute to variation in dietary quality, evidence is inconclusive. This study takes a novel approach to quantifying home-prepared food (HPF) consumption, and describes HPF consumption in a population-representative sample, determining variation between socio-demographic groups. It tests the association between HPF consumption and dietary quality, determining whether socio-demographic characteristics moderate this association. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of UK survey data (N = 6364, aged≥19; collected 2008–16, analysed 2018). High dietary quality was defined as ‘DASH accordance’: the quintile most accordant with the Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension (DASH) diet. HPF consumption was estimated from 4-day food diaries. Linear regressions were used to determine the association between HPF consumption and socio-demographic variables (household income, education, occupation, age, gender, ethnicity and children in the household). Logistic regression was used to determine the association between HPF consumption and DASH accordance. Interaction terms were introduced, testing for moderation of the association between HPF consumption and DASH accordance by socio-demographic variables. Results: HPF consumption was relatively low across the sample (Mean (SD) % of energy consumption = 26.5%(12.1%)), and lower among white participants (25.9% v 37.8 and 34.4% for black and Asian participants respectively, p < 0.01). It did not vary substantially by age, gender, education, income or occupation. Higher consumption of HPF was associated with greater odds of being in the most DASH accordant quintile (OR = 1.2 per 10% increase in % energy from HPF, 95% CI 1.1–1.3). Ethnicity was the only significant moderator of the association between HPF consumption and DASH accordance, but this should be interpreted with caution due to high proportion of white participants. Conclusions: While an association exists between HPF consumption and higher dietary quality, consumption of HPF or HPF’s association with dietary quality does not vary substantially between socio-demographic groups. While HPF may be a part of the puzzle, it appears other factors drive socio-demographic variation in dietary quality.

description: In a supply chain with a retailer confronted with financial constraints, impacts on profits of the supply chain can be alleviated by increasing the retailer’s efforts and market demand through external financing (bank). If the cost of bank lending is not very high, the capital-constrained retailer can borrow money and make efforts. The reduction of bank interest rates, however, increases the retailer's efforts. We prove that there is a unique equilibrium point between the retailers. We find out the optimal interest rate of the bank and the optimal efforts by the retailer through numerical analysis and verify validity of the results.

description: We initiate a study of subregion dualities, entropy, and redundant encoding of bulk points in holographic theories deformed by $T \bar T$ and its generalizations. This includes both cut off versions of Anti de Sitter spacetime, as well as the generalization to bulk de Sitter spacetime, for which we introduce two additional examples capturing different patches of the bulk and incorporating the second branch of the square root dressed energy formula. We provide new calculations of entanglement entropy (EE) for more general divisions of the system than the symmetric ones previously available. We find precise agreement between the gravity side and deformed-CFT side results to all orders in the deformation parameter at large central charge. An analysis of the fate of strong subadditivity for relatively boosted regions indicates nonlocality reminiscent of string theory. We introduce the structure of operator algebras in these systems. The causal and entanglement wedges generalize to appropriate deformed theories but exhibit qualitatively new behaviors, e.g. the causal wedge may exceed the entanglement wedge. This leads to subtleties which we express in terms of the Hamiltonian and modular Hamiltonian evolution. Finally, we exhibit redundant encoding of bulk points, including the cosmological case.

description: In order to get information about the polarized gluon distribution in a proton, we studied the electroproduction of ψ' in polarized electron and polarized proton collisions in the framework of the NRQCD factorization approach. The value of the cross section dΔσ/ dp_T^2 for color-octet mechanism is about 5 times larger than that for color-singlet one, and it might be another test of the color-octet model if the polarized gluon distribution Δg(x) is well known. Furthermore, we found that this reaction is quite effective for testing the model of gluon polarization by measuring the double spin asymmetry A_{LL} for the initial electron and proton. Though the shape of p_T^2 distribution of A_{LL} is quite similar for the production mechanism with color-octet and color-singlet, we can see a big difference in A_{LL} among various models of the polarized gluon distribution function Δg(x).

description: Abstract: Organic synthesis remains a major challenge in drug discovery. Although a plethora of machine learning models have been proposed as solutions in the literature, they suffer from being opaque black-boxes. It is neither clear if the models are making correct predictions because they inferred the salient chemistry, nor is it clear which training data they are relying on to reach a prediction. This opaqueness hinders both model developers and users. In this paper, we quantitatively interpret the Molecular Transformer, the state-of-the-art model for reaction prediction. We develop a framework to attribute predicted reaction outcomes both to specific parts of reactants, and to reactions in the training set. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to retrieve evidence for predicted reaction outcomes, and understand counterintuitive predictions by scrutinising the data. Additionally, we identify Clever Hans predictions where the correct prediction is reached for the wrong reason due to dataset bias. We present a new debiased dataset that provides a more realistic assessment of model performance, which we propose as the new standard benchmark for comparing reaction prediction models.

Indocyanine green video angiography (ICG-VA)

description: Abstract: Background: Specific procedural complications in aneurysm surgery are broadly related to vascular territory compromise and brain/nerve retraction; vascular complications account for about half of this. Intraoperative indocyanine green video angiography (ICG-VA) provides real-time high spatial resolution imaging of the cerebrovascular architecture, allowing immediate quality assurance of aneurysm occlusion and vessel integrity. The aim of this study was to examine whether the routine use of ICG-VA reduced early procedural complications related to vascular compromise or injury during micro-neurosurgical clipping of ruptured cerebral aneurysms. Methods: Retrospective comparative observational study of 412 adult good-grade (WFNS 1 or 2) SAH patients who had undergone microsurgical clipping without (n = 200, 2001–2004) or with (n = 212, 2009–2015) ICG-VA in a high-volume neurosurgical centre. Results: The ICG-VA group had a significantly lower incidence of procedural vascular complications (7/212; 3.3%) compared with the non-ICG-VA group (19/200; 9.5%) (Fisher’s exact test p = 0.0137). Conclusions: ICG-VA is a straightforward, easy-to-use, intraoperative adjunct which significantly reduces avoidable ‘technical error’ related morbidity.

description: Abstract: We prove that the simple random walk on the uniform infinite planar triangulation (UIPT) typically travels graph distance at most n1/4+on(1) in n units of time. Together with the complementary lower bound proven by Gwynne and Miller (2017) this shows that the typical graph distance displacement of the walk after n steps is n1/4+on(1), as conjectured by Benjamini and Curien (Geom Funct Anal 2(2):501–531, 2013. arXiv:1202.5454). More generally, we show that the simple random walks on a certain family of random planar maps in the γ-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) universality class for γ∈(0, 2)—including spanning tree-weighted maps, bipolar-oriented maps, and mated-CRT maps—typically travels graph distance n1/dγ+on(1) in n units of time, where dγ is the growth exponent for the volume of a metric ball on the map, which was shown to exist and depend only on γ by Ding and Gwynne (Commun Math Phys 374:1877–1934, 2018. arXiv:1807.01072). Since dγ>2, this shows that the simple random walk on each of these maps is subdiffusive. Our proofs are based on an embedding of the random planar maps under consideration into C wherein graph distance balls can be compared to Euclidean balls modulo subpolynomial errors. This embedding arises from a coupling of the given random planar map with a mated-CRT map together with the relationship of the latter map to SLE-decorated LQG.

description: O estudo dos indexicais tem recebido grande atenção dentro da filosofia e da linguística, por conta do seu comportamento peculiar dentro das línguas naturais. Este trabalho tem o intuito de discutir um fenômeno específico dos indexicais, muito pouco estudado, mas que tem ganhado destaque nas últimas décadas: os indexicais descritivos. Trata-se de casos em que um item indexical, que supostamente é um termo diretamente referencial (Kaplan, 1989), apresentar, em sua interpretação, material descritivo, como na sentença “Você não deveria ter aberto a porta. Eu poderia ser um ladrão”, quando dito por uma mãe ao seu filho (Heim, 2004). Pretendemos contrastar diferentes tipos de abordagens teóricas e operações possíveis para lidar com o nosso objeto de pesquisa. Nosso objetivo final é, além de encontrar na literatura referente ao assunto possíveis explicações para como lidar com o fenômeno, indicar também qual dentre elas é a mais elegante, enxuta e epistemologicamente indicada para manipular e definir as diferentes variáveis que possam se apresentar como importantes para definição do objeto.Contudo, nesse trabalho, vamos nos centrar em expor o fenômeno em questão e apresentar alguns problemas que o mesmo traz para as teorias de semântica tradicional.

For every choice of compact structure group and smoothness category for the paths it is determined whether $\A$ is dense in $\Ab$ or not. Moreover, it is proven that $\A$ has Ashtekar-Lewandowski measure zero for every nontrivial structure group and every smoothness category. The analogous results hold for gauge orbits instead of connections.

description: This paper examines US citizens’ preferences about the notion of multifunctional agriculture using survey data collected by the Ipsos-Observer in 2007. The survey provided a box of information about multifunctional roles of US agriculture to respondents and sought to measure their attitudes and perceptions about various components of multifunctional agriculture. Data analysis showed that considerable segment of US citizens agreed that US agriculture produces an array of nonmarket goods and services in addition to marketed commodities. In particular, US citizens rated national food security as the most important multifunctional role of US agriculture when compared to cultural heritage, farmland amenities, or vitality of rural communities. Regression analysis demonstrates that perceptions about environmental services and national food security make the strongest contribution to explaining US citizens’ attitudes toward multifunctional agriculture.

description: Abstract: Carbonate cave deposits (speleothems) have been used widely for paleoclimate reconstructions; however, few studies have examined the utility of other speleothem-forming minerals for this purpose. Here we demonstrate for the first time that stable isotopes (δ17O, δ18O and δD) of structurally-bound gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) hydration water (GHW) can be used to infer paleoclimate. Specifically, we used a 63 cm-long gypsum stalactite from Sima Blanca Cave to reconstruct the climate history of SE Spain from ~ 800 BCE to ~ 800 CE. The gypsum stalactite indicates wet conditions in the cave and humid climate from ~ 200 BCE to 100 CE, at the time of the Roman Empire apogee in Hispania. From ~ 100 CE to ~ 600 CE, evaporation in the cave increased in response to regional aridification that peaked at ~ 500–600 CE, roughly coinciding with the transition between the Iberian Roman Humid Period and the Migration Period. Our record agrees with most Mediterranean and Iberian paleoclimate archives, demonstrating that stable isotopes of GHW in subaerial gypsum speleothems are a useful tool for paleoclimate reconstructions.

description: We propose and investigate a new estimation method for the parameters of models consisting of smooth density functions on the positive half axis. The procedure is based on a recently introduced characterization result for the respective probability distributions, and is to be classified as a minimum distance estimator, incorporating as a distance function the $L^q$-norm. Throughout, we deal rigorously with issues of existence and measurability of these implicitly defined estimators. Moreover, we provide consistency results in a common asymptotic setting, and compare our new method with classical estimators for the exponential-, the Rayleigh-, and the Burr Type XII distribution in Monte Carlo simulation studies. We also assess the performance of different estimators for non-normalized models in the context of an exponential-polynomial family.

description: Section 7606 of the Farm Bill authorizes the production of industrial hemp for research and pilot program purposes. Currently 24 states have laws or statutes that have paved the way for industrial hemp production; however, only four states are in the South. Although previous research has suggested that there are 25,000 legal uses for industrial hemp, there is a lack of timely information regarding the political (social acceptability) and legal and economic feasibility of hemp production for Southern states. The purpose of this poster is to: 1) conduct an extensive literature review to summarize existing legal, political and economic considerations; and 2) identify the primary legal, political and economic challenges and opportunities for hemp production in the South. It is expected that this information will be helpful to policy makers, agricultural producers and the public by providing information about consumer acceptance, cost of production, best management practices and how the crop fits into crop rotations. As with many new industries, siting of processing locations will be a function of where the crop will be grown. Such regions are likely those where competition for land use is least. Such analyses are only possible with the types of information collected here.

description: We study the emergence of critical dynamics in the steady shear rheology of fluidized soft glassy materials. Within a mesoscale elasto-plastic model accounting for a shear band instability, we show how an additional noise can induce a transition from phase separated to homogeneous flow, accompanied by critical-like fluctuations of the macroscopic shear rate. Both macroscopic quantities and fluctuations exhibit power law behaviors in the vicinity of this transition, consistent with previous experimental findings on vibrated granular media. Altogether, our results suggest a generic scenario for the emergence of criticality when shear weakening mechanisms compete with a fluidizing noise.

Vesicular acetylcholine transporter

description: Abstract: Transgenic rodents expressing Cre recombinase cell specifically are used for exploring mechanisms regulating behavior, including those mediated by cholinergic signaling. However, it was recently reported that transgenic mice overexpressing a bacterial artificial chromosome containing choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) gene, for synthesizing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, present with multiple vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) gene copies, resulting in altered cholinergic tone and accompanying behavioral abnormalities. Since ChAT::Cre+ rats, used increasingly for understanding the biological basis of CNS disorders, utilize the mouse ChAT promotor to control Cre recombinase expression, we assessed for similar genotypical and phenotypical differences in such rats compared to wild-type siblings. The rats were assessed for mouse VAChT copy number, VAChT protein expression levels and for sustained attention, response control and anxiety. Rats were also subjected to a contextual fear conditioning paradigm using an unconditional fear-inducing stimulus (electrical foot shocks), with blood samples taken at baseline, the fear acquisition phase and retention testing, for measuring blood plasma markers of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal gland (HPA)-axis activity. ChAT::Cre+ rats expressed multiple mouse VAChT gene copies, resulting in significantly higher VAChT protein expression, revealed anxiolytic behavior, hyperlocomotion and deficits in tasks requiring sustained attention. The HPA-axis was intact, with unaltered circulatory levels of acute stress-induced corticosterone, leptin and glucose. Our findings, therefore, reveal that in ChAT::Cre+ rats, VAChT overexpression associates with significant alterations of certain cognitive, motor and affective functions. Although highly useful as an experimental tool, it is essential to consider the potential effects of altered cholinergic transmission on baseline behavior in ChAT::Cre rats.

description: We report on the evolution of the X-ray emission of the accreting neutron star (NS) low mass X-ray binary (LMXB), MXB 1659-298, during its most recent outburst in 2015-2017. We detected 60 absorption lines during the soft state (of which 21 at more than 3 $σ$), that disappeared in the hard state (e.g., the Fe xxv and Fe xxvi lines). The absorbing plasma is at rest, likely part of the accretion disc atmosphere. The bulk of the absorption features can be reproduced by a high column density ($log(N_H/cm^{-2})\sim23.5$) of highly ionised ($log(ξ/erg~cm~s^{-1})\sim3.8$) plasma. Its disappearance during the hard state is likely the consequence of a thermal photo-ionisation instability. MXB 1659-298's continuum emission can be described by the sum of an absorbed disk black body and its Comptonised emission, plus a black body component. The observed spectral evolution with state is in line with that typically observed in atoll and stellar mass black hole LMXB. The presence of a relativistic Fe K$α$ disk-line is required during the soft state. We also tentatively detect the Fe xxii doublet, whose ratio suggests an electron density of the absorber of $n_e>10^{13} cm^{-3}$, hence, the absorber is likely located at $<7\times10^4 r_g$ from the illuminating source, well inside the Compton and outer disc radii. MXB 1659-298 is the third well monitored atoll LMXB showcasing intense Fe xxv and Fe xxvi absorption during the soft state that disappears during the hard state.

description: The capacity to perform complex cognitive tasks depends on the ability to retain task-relevant information in an accessible state (working memory) and to selectively process information in the environment (selective attention). Due to working memory capacity limits, people usually filter out irrelevant information and instead focus on important information. Will consumer’s working memory capacity affect their attention and further their choice? Our study uses choice experiments (CE) to investigate the effect of working memory capacity on attention and choice. Evidence suggests that consumer’s working memory capacity will indeed affect their attention and choice.
Softly broken lepton numbers and maximal neutrino mixing

description: We consider lepton mixing in an extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrino singlets. We require that the three lepton numbers L_e, L_μ, and L_τbe separately conserved in the Yukawa couplings, and we assume that they are softly broken only by the Majorana mass matrix M_R of the neutrino singlets. In this framework, where lepton-number breaking occurs at a scale much higher than the electroweak scale, deviations from family-lepton-number conservation are calculable and finite, and lepton mixing stems exclusively from M_R. We then show that a discrete symmetry exists such that, in the lepton mixing matrix U, maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing together with U_{e3}=0 can be obtained naturally. Alternatively, if one assumes that there are two different scales in M_R and that the lepton number \bar L = L_e - L_μ- L_τis conserved in between them, then maximal solar neutrino mixing follows naturally. If both the discrete symmetry and intermediate \bar L conservation are introduced, bimaximal mixing is achieved.

description: The influenza virus is a significant cause of respiratory disease in horses. While the virus is usually self-limiting, many horses develop secondary bacterial infections which can result in severe pneumonias and increased recovery times. Horse owners/managers have the option of delaying treatment to see whether the infections occur or aggressively treating at the outset to ward off any infections. The economic considerations of the “treat now” versus “wait and see” alternatives include not only explicit treatment costs but also the extent to which the owner/manager prefers to avoid seeing the horse feeling poorly. The study uses a dichotomous choice experiment to estimate owner/manager willingness-to-pay to avoid illness in the horse. We measure the number of days the horse is ill and the expenses associated with that. These costs may include medication, veterinary visits, stabling at the vet clinic, and any other costs associated with treating a sick horse. We anticipate that in expectation, the cost of “treat now” will be less than the cost of “wait and see.” In addition, we anticipate that horse owners/managers will be willing to pay for treatment strategies which reduce lost training time and, simply, to avoid having their horse feel poorly.

description: Arunachal Pradesh, though strategically very important, is one of the most backward States in the country in the traditional sense of economic parameters. The long isolation and separation from the main stream of the country, posed formidable problems to the efforts of socio-economic development of the State. This paper examines the question of convergence in Arunachal Pradesh agriculture since the last decade. It focuses on the questions of (a) whether there has been a catching-up tendency (β-convergence) of slow-growing districts with fast-growing ones; and (b) whether there has been a tendency towards convergence (σ-convergence) in agricultural productivity in the last one decade (2000-2010) over a representative cross-section of Arunachal Pradesh districts. The paper also tests the operation of Galton’s fallacy through growth-terminal level regressions for robustness of the results. The tendency of low-KCC concentration districts to catch up with high-KCC concentration districts is studied through the unconditional β-convergence approach, and the operation of Galton’s fallacy through growth-terminal agricultural productivity-level regressions. The diminution of variance in productivity levels is tested using the σ-convergence approach and the robustness of the results is tested using alternative test statistics.
Orbiting Resonances and Bound States in Molecular Scattering

description: A family of orbiting resonances in molecular scattering is globally described by using a single pole moving in the complex angular momentum plane. The extrapolation of this pole at negative energies gives the location of the bound states. Then a single pole trajectory, that connects a rotational band of bound states and orbiting resonances, is obtained. These complex angular momentum singularities are derived through a geometrical theory of the orbiting. The downward crossing of the phase-shifts through pi/2, due to the repulsive region of the molecular potential, is estimated by using a simple hard-core model. Some remarks about the difference between diffracted rays and orbiting are also given.

description: Abstract: The origin of Homo sapiens remains a matter of debate. The extent and geographic patterning of morphological diversity among Late Middle Pleistocene (LMP) African hominins is largely unknown, thus precluding the definition of boundaries of variability in early H. sapiens and the interpretation of individual fossils. Here we use a phylogenetic modelling method to predict possible morphologies of a last common ancestor of all modern humans, which we compare to LMP African fossils (KNM-ES 11693, Florisbad, Irhoud 1, Omo II, and LH18). Our results support a complex process for the evolution of H. sapiens, with the recognition of different, geographically localised, populations and lineages in Africa – not all of which contributed to our species’ origin. Based on the available fossils, H. sapiens appears to have originated from the coalescence of South and, possibly, East-African source populations, while North-African fossils may represent a population which introgressed into Neandertals during the LMP.
