description: Pety et al. (2012) recently reported the detection of several transitions of an unknown carrier in the Horsehead PDR and attribute them to l-C3H+. Here, we have tested the predictive power of their fit by searching for, and identifying, the previously unobserved J=1-0 and J=2-1 transitions of the unknown carrier (B11244) towards Sgr B2(N) in data from the publicly available PRIMOS project. Also presented here are observations of the J=6-5 and J=7-6 transitions towards Sgr B2(N) and Sgr B2(OH) using the Barry E. Turner Legacy Survey and results from the Kaifu et al. (2004) survey of TMC-1. We calculate an excitation temperature and column density of B11244 of ~10 K and ~10^13 cm-2 in Sgr B2(N) and ~79 K with an upper limit of < 1.5 x 10^13 cm-2 in Sgr B2(OH) and find trace evidence for the cation's presence in TMC-1. Finally, we present spectra of the neutral species in both Sgr B2(N) and TMC-1, and comment on the robustness of the assignment of the detected signals to l-C3H+.

description: A simple analytical approach to estimate thermodynamic properties of model Yukawa systems is presented. The approach extends the traditional Debye-Hückel theory into the regime of moderate coupling and is able to qualitatively reproduce thermodynamics of Yukawa systems up to the fluid-solid phase transition. The simplistic equation of state (pressure equation) is derived and applied to the hydrodynamic description of the longitudinal waves in Yukawa fluids. The relevance of this study to the topic of complex (dusty) plasmas is discussed.

description: Thermoelectric transport involving an arbitrary number of terminals is discussed in the presence of a magnetic field breaking time-reversal symmetry within the linear response regime using the Landauer-Büttiker formalism. We derive a universal bound on the Onsager coefficients that depends only on the number of terminals. This bound implies bounds on the efficiency and on efficiency at maximum power for heat engines and refrigerators. For isothermal engines pumping particles and for absorption refrigerators these bounds become independent even of the number of terminals. On a technical level, these results follow from an original algebraic analysis of the asymmetry index of doubly substochastic matrices and their Schur complements.

description: We have measured absolute proper motions for the three populations intercepted in the direction of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6681: the cluster itself, the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy and the field. For this we used Hubble Space Telescope ACS/WFC and WFC3/UVIS optical imaging data separated by a temporal baseline of 5.464 years. Five background galaxies were used to determine the zero point of the absolute-motion reference frame. The resulting absolute proper motion of NGC 6681 is ($μ_α\cosδ, μ_δ$)=($1.58\pm0.18, -4.57\pm0.16$) \masyr. This is the first estimate ever made for this cluster. For the Sgr dSph we obtain ($μ_α\cosδ, μ_δ)=(-2.54\pm0.18, -1.19\pm0.16$) \masyr, consistent with previous measurements and with the values predicted by theoretical models. The absolute proper motion of the Galaxy population in our field of view is ($μ_α\cosδ, μ_δ)=(-1.21\pm0.27, -4.39\pm0.26$) \masyr. In this study we also use background Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal stars to determine the rotation of the globular cluster in the plane of the sky and find that NGC 6681 is not rotating significantly:\ $v_{\rm rot}=0.82\pm1.02$ km$\,$s$^{-1}$ at a distance of 1 arcmin from the cluster center.

description: The North-South asymmetry of solar activity is variable in time and strength. We analyse the long-term variation of the phase lags of hemispheric cycles and check a conjectured relationship between these phase lags and the hemispheric cycle strengths. Sunspot data are used from cycles 12-23 in which the separation of northern and southern hemispheres is possible. The centers of mass of the hemispheric cycle profiles were used to study the phase relations and relative strengths of the hemispheric cycles. This approach considers a cycle as a whole and disregards the short-term fluctuations of the cycle time profile. The phase of the hemispheric cycles shows an alternating variation: the northern cycle leads in 4 cycles and follows in 4 cycles. No significant relationship is found between the phase and strength differences of the hemispheric cycles. The period of 4+4 cycles appears to be close to the Gleissberg cycle and may provide a key to its physical background. It may raise a new aspect in the solar dynamo mechanism because it needs a very long memory.

description: The DIAGONAL project advances safe by design knowledge and tools to a ready-for-implementation stage in industries related to multicomponent nanomaterials (MCNMs) and high-aspect ratio nanomaterials (HARNs). Assessing the hazard and exposure properties of a variety of MCNMs and HARNs may contribute to adapted or novel risk management guidelines. Experimental risk assessment of these hazard and exposure properties is required for evaluating the implications for living organisms and their cells exposed to MCNMs and HARNs. A human hazard and ecotoxicology evaluation were performed using lung cell lines, epidermis, intestine and immune system cells from humans along with earthworms from the soil, biofilm from sediment, and daphnids and algae from freshwater. The most up to date validated protocols, or protocols that are pending validation were selected for the human hazard and ecotoxicology toxicity testing of MCNMs and HARNs. The present deliverable report highlights various final and draft methodologies and standard operating procedures (SOP) proposed including specific adaptations of these methodologies and SOPs for toxicity testing of MCNMs and HARNs using human cells, algae, bacteria and selected animal species as biological model systems.

description: We describe a new electrostatic Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code in curvilinear geometry called Curvilinear PIC (CPIC). The code models the microscopic (kinetic) evolution of a plasma with the PIC method, coupled with an adaptive computational grid that can conform to arbitrarily shaped domains. CPIC is particularly suited for multiscale problems associated with the interaction of complex objects with plasmas. A map is introduced between the physical space and the logical space, where the grid is uniform and Cartesian. In CPIC, most operations are performed in logical space. CPIC was designed following criteria of versatility, robustness and performance. Its main features are the use of structured meshes, a scalable field solver based on the black box multigrid algorithm and a hybrid mover, where particles' position is in logical space while the velocity is in physical space. Test examples involving the interaction of a plasma with material boundaries are presented.

description: "Why did nationalism emerge in the Soviet Union under Gorbachev? At first glance the answer seems deceptively simple: nationalism emerged because of policies like Glasnost and perestroika. The republics had always had a nationalist sentiment, but the Soviets had repressed this feeling, and once restrictions on free speech abated, nationalism simply burst forth. This hypothesis, sometimes called the "sleeping beauty" theory, is not satisfactory, however, because it does not explain why some areas were more nationalistic than others. Most importantly, though, the theory paints too simple a picture of the event and does not address other factors that played a key role."--from page 33

description: The opportunistic pathogen 'Pseudomonas aeruginosa' uses quorum sensing to control its virulence. One of its major signal molecules, the 'Pseudomonas' quinolone signal PQS, has high affinity to membranes and is known to be trafficked mainly via outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We previously reported that several 3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolone 2,4-dioxygenases (HQDs) catalyze the cleavage of PQS and thus act as quorum quenching enzymes. Further analysis showed that, in contrast to other HQDs, the activity of HQD from 'Streptomyces bingchenggensis' (HQDS.b.) was unexpectedly stabilized by culture supernatants of 'P. aeruginosa'. Interestingly, the stabilizing effect was higher with supernatants from the strain PA14 than with supernatants from the strain PAO1. Heat treatment and lyophilization hardly affected the stabilizing effect; however, fractionation of the supernatant excluded small molecules as stabilizing agents. In a pull-down assay, HQDS.b. appeared to interact with several 'P. aeruginosa' proteins previously found in the OMV proteome. This prompted us to probe the physical interaction of HQDS.b. with prepared extracellular membrane vesicles. Homo-FRET of fluorescently labeled HQDS.b. indeed indicated a spatial clustering of the protein on the vesicles. Binding of a PQS-cleaving enzyme to the OMVs of 'P. aeruginosa' may enhance PQS degradation and is highly reconcilable with its function as a quorum quenching enzyme.

An examination of past nominations can also help us answer the questions, "What was wrong with the confirmation picture?" and
"Whose fault was it?" The Senate, that white monolith of indifference, suffered from a damaged reputation as much as Anita Hill or Clarence Thomas. The only winner, it appears, is President George Bush. Bush and the Republican Party got their man confirmed."--from page 5

description: Many medium and smaller dairies are shifting to various kinds of value-added products that may expand in demand nationally aside from fluid milk. This study uses a latent class logit model to investigate the heterogeneity of consumer preferences and willingness to pay for dairy value-added products across four latent classes considering different local and environmental sustainability labels. The dairy products examined for this research are butter, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. This research revealed that younger consumers, especially those that reside in rural areas, always pay attention to product attributes when they shop for dairy products, mostly the local state brand (Kentucky Proud) and climate-smart labels. Most respondents defined local food products as food produced within the same state. Results show that cheese and butter are the most consumed dairy products across all four dairy products. The result from the latent class logit model shows that across all four classes, consumers had the highest willingness to pay for labels with low carbon levels ($1) and medium carbon levels ($0.52) compared to labels with high carbon levels. There was a low willingness to pay for the Kentucky milk label ($-0.44) and 100 miles label (-0.93), as most prefer the Kentucky Proud label. The results from this research are critical for product development and marketing strategies for small and medium-scale dairy farmers. It will also contribute to knowledge for efficient market segmentation strategies for farmers, retailers, and policymakers.

description: "The educational system in the United States deprives poor and minority children of an equal opportunity to succeed. In many states, districts with low property values cannot adequately provide for their students; they cannot afford textbooks, maintain school buildings, or recruit capable teachers. The classrooms are overcrowded; the libraries are empty; the faculty is either uninterested or overworked, and often unable to keep track of all its students. America's drop-out and illiteracy rates have reached staggering heights in districts such as the North Bronx, Selma, Camden, East St. Louis, and South Chicago. Inadequacies in the educational system reinforce the already strong link between race and poverty, deprive some children of opportunities, and predetermine class by residency. Despite the many pleas to elevate educational standards, both the state and federal governments continue to buy America's prosperity from the future and to neglect large segments of the youth."--from page 14

description: Нейросетевые модели являются универсальным инструментом для решения вероятностных задач в различных сферах и областях деятельности. Однако при решении ряда задач применение классических нейросетевых моделей и алгоритмов обучения может приводить к переобучению сети, вследствие чего происходит снижение точности апостериорного распределения выходного слоя нейросети и наблюдается слабая адаптивность сети к самообучению на основе ранее непредставленных данных в обучающей выборке. Тем самым снижаются возможности сети по выявлению аномалий. Одним из методов решения данной проблемы является использование байесовских методов для обучения и вероятностного вывода в нейросетях. При использовании байесовского под-хода в нейросетях подразумевается задание весов сети в виде вероятностного распределения по всем допустимым значениям, которые могут принимать параметры сети. Тогда для определения весов можно использовать классические механизмы обучения и вероятностного вывода, которые используются в байесовских сетях, в частности алгоритмы на основе метода Монте-Карло и цепей Маркова. В работе рассмотрены вопросы применения байесовских нейросетей для моделирования процесса тестирования веб-приложений.
description: Neural network models are a universal tool for solving probabilistic problems in various fields and areas. However, when solving a set of problems, typical neural networks and training algorithms can lead to overfitted networks, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of the posterior distribution of the output layer of the neural network. In this case, the network fails to adapt fully to self-training due to no data in the training sample, leading to a decrease in the network’s ability to detect anomalies. One of the methods to solve the problem is by using Bayesian methods for training of and inference in neural networks. When using the Bayesian approach in neural networks, it is intended to set the weights in the network as a probability distribution over all values that are permissible for the parameters of the network. Then, classical learning mechanisms and probabilistic inference used in Bayesian networks, such as algorithms based on the Monte Carlo methods and Markov chains, can be used to determine weights. The article considers the issues of using Bayesian neural networks for modeling the process of web application testing.

We consider different parametric regimes which correspond to the broken and unbroken ${\cal PT}$ symmetry, as well as to the exceptional point of the underlying deterministic system. We demonstrate that in all the cases the statistically averaged intensity of the field grows. This result holds for either linear or nonlinear coupler and is independent on the type of fluctuations.

description: Managing large-scale transportation infrastructure projects is difficult due to frequent misinformation about the costs which results in large cost overruns that often threaten the overall project viability. This paper investigates the explanations for cost overruns that are given in the literature. Overall, four categories of explanations can be distinguished: technical, economic, psychological, and political. Political explanations have been seen to be the most dominant explanations for cost overruns. Agency theory is considered the most interesting for political explanations and an eclectic theory is also considered possible. Nonpolitical explanations are diverse in character, therefore a range of different theories (including rational choice theory and prospect theory), depending on the kind of explanation is considered more appropriate than one all-embracing theory.

description: We study the real-time dynamics of fermions coupled to scalar fields in a linear sigma model, which is often employed in the context of preheating after inflation or as a low-energy effective model for quantum chromodynamics. We find a dramatic amplification of fermion production in the presence of highly occupied bosonic quanta for weak as well as strong couplings. For this we consider the range of validity of different methods: lattice simulations with male/female fermions, the mode functions approach and the quantum 2PI effective action with its associated kinetic theory. For strongly coupled fermions we find a rapid approach to a Fermi-Dirac distribution with time-dependent temperature and chemical potential parameters, while the bosons are still far from equilibrium.

For two groups of the HSE(α, ω) family of exchange-correlation functionals (ω= 0 and ω= 0.2Å) we study the isolated components as well as the combined systems as a function of the amount of exact-exchange (α). We find that hybrid functionals favour electron transfer to the adsorbate. Comparing to experimental work-function data, we report for (α) ca. 0.25 a notable but small improvement over (semi)local functionals for the interface dipole. Although Kohn-Sham eigenvalues are only approximate representations of ionization energies, incidentally, at this value also the density of states agrees well with the photoelectron spectra. However, increasing (α) to values for which the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital matches the experimental electron affinity in the gas phase worsens both the interface dipole and the density of states. Our results imply that semi-local DFT calculations may often be adequate for conjugated organic molecules on metal surfaces and that the much more computationally demanding hybrid functionals yield only small improvements.

Lock-in and Its Influence on the Project Performance of Large-Scale Transportation Infrastructure Projects. Investigating the Way in Which Lock-in Can Emerge and Affect Cost Overruns

description: Lock-in, the escalating commitment of decision-makers to an ineffective course of action, has the potential to explain the large cost overruns in large scale transportation infrastructure projects. Lock-in can occur both at the decision-making level (before the decision to build) and at the project level (after the decision to build) and can influence the extent of overruns in two ways. The first involves the methodology of calculating cost overruns according to the formal decision to build. Due to lock-in, however, the real decision to build is made much earlier in the decision-making process and the costs estimated at that stage are often much lower than those that are estimated at a later stage in the decision-making process, thus increasing cost overruns. The second way that lock-in can affect cost overruns is through practice. Although decisions about the project (design and implementation) need to be made, lock-in can lead to inefficient decisions that involve higher costs. Sunk costs (in terms of both time and money), the need for justification, escalating commitment, and inflexibility and the closure of alternatives are indicators of lock-in. In this paper, two case studies, of the Betuweroute and the HSL-South projects in the Netherlands, demonstrate the presence of lock-in and its influence on the extent of cost overruns at both the decision-making and project levels. This suggests that recognition of lock-in as an explanation for cost overruns significantly contributes to the understanding of the inadequate planning process of projects and allows development of more appropriate means.

The interaction energy of the Hopfions is evaluated directly from the product ansatz. Our results show that if the separation between the constituents is not very small, the product ansatz can be considered as a relatively good approximation to the general pattern of the charge one Hopfions interaction both in repulsive and attractive channel.

description: Smart textiles, characterized by their ability to sense and react to various environmental stimuli, represent an evolution beyond conventional textiles, with wide-ranging applications across healthcare, sports, fashion, and defense sectors. However, the prevalent use of synthetic, petroleum-based fibers in the production of these textiles presents significant environmental and sustainability challenges. This thesis addresses this concern by exploring the functionalization of cellulose fibers—a biodegradable and renewable resource—for use in smart textiles.The central objective of this research is to develop methodologies for the functionalization of cellulose fibers that can impart them with the requisite properties. We have developed a smart textile with integrated sensor networks and self-powering units, which features excellent stretchability, bendability, washability, and comfort, without additional uncomfortable, bulky, and rigid power sources. Via a facile infiltration process, an active polymer-based semiconductor is incorporated into the primary thread and textile towards the realization of a high-performance, self-powered biaxial motion detection, and sensing network.The results demonstrate that, through strategic functionalization, cellulose fibers can indeed be transformed into smart materials, effectively integrating the benefits of interactive textiles with the sustainability of cellulose. By bridging the gap between sustainability and functionality, this thesis points towards a future where the textile industry can thrive on the intersection of ecological responsibility and technological innovation.

description: Three bacterial strains, designated J1-12T, M3-11T and M6-14T, were isolated from paddy field soils in the Republic of Korea. Cells were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and non-flagellated but motile. The strains exhibited optimal growth at 28 °C and pH 7.0 and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strains J1-12T, M3-11T and M6-14T were placed within the genus Flavobacterium, showing the highest similarity to Flavobacterium johnsoniae subsp. aurantiacum DSM 6792T (98.67 %), Flavobacterium zhairuonense A5.7T (97.98%) and Flavobacterium nitrogenifigens NXU-44T (98.23 %), respectively. The genomic similarity between three strains and their closely related strains were 39.3-66.7% for digital DNA-DNA hybridization and 90.0-95.9% for orthologous average nucleotide identity, both of which were lower than the thresholds recommended for species delineation. The respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and aminolipid. The major fatty acids (> 10%) were 15:0 iso and summed feature 3. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic data obtained in this study showed that strains J1-12T, M3-11T and M6-14T represent novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the names Flavobacterium oryziterrae sp. nov. (type strain J1-12T = KACC 22758T = JCM 35941T), Flavobacterium oryzagri sp. nov. (type strain M3-11T = KACC 22761T = JCM 35942T) and Flavobacterium oryzicola sp. nov. (type strain M6-14T = KACC 22763T = JCM 35943T) are proposed.

description: "Turkey’s Southeastern Anatolia Development Project (GAP) has amplified disagreements over water in an unstable region already facing water shortages. This paper argues that Turkey’s enormous and costly plan to generate electricity, improve irrigation, and redevelop its southeastern region under the GAP has failed. I will examine this “hydropolitical security complex,” as Michael Schulz describes it, by focusing on the effects of the GAP, Turkey-Syria relations, and Syria’s support of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) since the 1980s (Schulz 91). Relations between Turkey and Iraq have also been affected by the GAP, but additionally by the recent Gulf War and U.S. involvement in the region, and a discussion of Turkey-Iraq relations is beyond the scope of this paper. The structure of this text is as follows: first, a discussion of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers themselves; second, the importance of water to the Middle East in general and to Turkey, Syria, and Iraq specifically; third, a look at the GAP and several of its dams; fourth, the effects of the GAP project; fifth, Turkey-Syria relations and the interplay between water and the PKK; and finally, the future of Turkey-Syria relations and the steps that must be taken in order to prevent a war over water."--from page 2

description: Misinformation research has identified numerous news story features that predict susceptibility to false news. Four of these features seem to be consistently studied and reported as problematic: belief congruence (false news that matches one’s personal beliefs about the world), political congruence (false news that matches one’s political orientation), moral-emotional language (words that share a sense of morality while being emotionally charged), and social consensus (knowing that others also believe the false news). Reported are two different paradigms where participants were asked to read through a Facebook newsfeed and either choose which posts they would share (diffusion paradigm) or choose which posts were false news (detection paradigm). First, the studies reported below were concerned with determining the effect each of these features had on the detection and diffusion of false news, while accounting for the effects of the other features. Second, the detection paradigm was also used to determine the effect base-rates had on false news detection because according to Truth-Default Theory the number of deceptive messages people encounter in the world is directly related to how accurate they will be. All of the news features were found to have at least some effect on the diffusion and detection of false news, with belief congruence (OR [subscript diffusion] = 2.8, OR [subscript detection] = 1.4) and political congruence (OR [subscript diffusion] = 2.4, OR [subscript detection] = 1.3) having the strongest and most consistent effects. Regarding testing the effect of base-rates on detection accuracy, the more false news participants encountered, the more accurate they were, indicating the presence of a lie-bias. This contradicts the truth-bias prediction Truth-Default Theory makes, some of which is accounted for by the general suspicion people have of online news. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed from the perspective of today’s growing problem with online misinformation.

description: В статье рассмотрены вопросы выбора ключевых параметров диагностики заболевания печени. Применен метод анализа иерархии для определения важности критериев на основании оценки экспертами прикладной области медицины. Построена иерархическая структура выбора ключевых параметров диагностики заболевания печени. Получены матрицы попарных сравнений для определения важности каждого введенного критерия. Выполнены расчеты противоречивости оценок экспертов с помощью индекса согласованности, которые предложили эксперты при заполнении матрицы попарных сравнений. Проведен сравнительный анализ параметров по полученным значениям глобальных приоритетов со значениями корреляции Пирсона. Выбраны параметры с наиболее эффективным соотношением критериев, что в дальнейшем позволит сократить область исследования взаимосвязи выбранных параметров, а также классифицировать стадии заболевания печени.
description: The article considers the issues of selecting key parameters for the diagnosis of liver disease. The analytic hierarchy process is used to determine the importance of criteria based on the assessment of the applied medicine provided by the experts. The selection of key parameters outline for the diagnosis of liver disease is built. Matrices of pairwise comparisons are obtained to determine the significance of each introduced criterion. When filling in the matrix of pairwise comparisons, the experts proposed their assessments, and their contradiction have been calculated with the consistency index. The comparative analysis of parameters according to the obtained values of global priorities with Pearson correlation values is carried out. In the course of the study, parameters with the most effective correlation of criteria are selected. Those will help reduce the study area of interrelation of selected parameters, as well as liver disease stages.

description: IAXO, the new International AXion Observatory, will feature the most ambitious detector for solar axions to date. Axions are hypothetical particles which were postulated to solve one of the puzzles arising in the standard model of particle physics, namely the strong CP (Charge conjugation and Parity) problem. This detector aims at achieving a sensitivity to the coupling between axions and photons of one order of magnitude beyond the limits of the current detector, the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST). The IAXO detector relies on a high-magnetic field distributed over a very large volume to convert solar axions to detectable X-ray photons. Inspired by the ATLAS barrel and end-cap toroids, a large superconducting toroid is being designed. The toroid comprises eight, one meter wide and twenty one meters long racetrack coils. The assembled toroid is sized 5.2 m in diameter and 25 m in length and its mass is about 250 tons. The useful field in the bores is 2.5 T while the peak magnetic field in the windings is 5.4 T. At the operational current of 12 kA the stored energy is 500 MJ. The racetrack type of coils are wound with a reinforced Aluminum stabilized NbTi/Cu cable and are conduction cooled. The coils optimization is shortly described as well as new concepts for cryostat, cold mass, supporting structure and the sun tracking system. Materials selection and sizing, conductor, thermal loads, the cryogenics system and the electrical system are described. Lastly, quench simulations are reported to demonstrate the system's safe quench protection scheme.

description: Strategic behaviour is one of the main explanations for cost overruns. It can theoretically be supported by agency theory, in which strategic behaviour is the result of asymmetric information between the principal and agent. This paper gives a formal account of this relation by a signalling game. This is a game with incomplete information which considers the way in which parties anticipate upon other parties' behaviour in choosing a course of action. The game shows how cost overruns are the result of an inappropriate signal. This makes it impossible for the principal to distinguish between the types of agents, and hence, allows for strategic behaviour. It is illustrated how cost overruns can be avoided by means of two policy measures, e.g. an accountability structure and benchmarking.

Milli-interacting dark matter interpretation of the direct-search experiments

description: We reinterpret the results of the direct searches for dark matter in terms of milli-interacting dark particles. The model reproduces the positive results from DAMA/LIBRA and CoGeNT and is consistent with the absence of signal in the XENON100, CDMS-II/Ge and LUX detectors. Dark atoms, interacting with standard atoms through a kinetic mixing between photons and dark photons and a mass mixing of σ mesons with dark scalars, diffuse elastically in terrestrial matter where they deposit all their energy. Reaching underground detectors through gravity at thermal energies, they form bound states with nuclei of the active medium by radiative capture, which causes the emission of photons that produce the observed signals. The parameter space of the model is explored and regions reproducing the results at the 2σ level are obtained for each experiment.
