description: In this work we explore the structure of Clifford algebras and the representations of the algebraic spinors in quantum information theory. Initially we present an general formulation through elements of left minimal ideals in tensor products of the Clifford algebra $Cl^{+}_{1,3}$. Posteriorly we perform some applications in quantum computation: qubits, entangled states, quantum gates, representations of the braid group, quantum teleportation, Majorana operators and supersymmetry. Finally, we discuss advantages related to standard Hilbert space formulation.

Incoerenza temporale e indipendenza della banca centrale (Time inconsistency and the independence of central banks)

Subjects: subject: Central banks, Central bank independence, Surprise effect, Time inconsistency theory
subject: E58

description: According to the author, the emphasis authors currently tend to place on the ‘surprise effect’ in order to argue for the independence of central banks is to a large extent unjustified. The main arguments for the independence of a central bank are others: firstly, the opinion that governments are induced to incur excessive expenditures due to reasons highlighted by public choice theorists and, secondly, the idea that inflation arises in connection with social conflict. Additionally, this study makes it clear that the ‘time inconsistency’ theory is far from being a new way of stating old ideas. JEL: E58

description: Inflammation is a complex process which, ideally, comes about as a “mop up’ response to cell injury. Ithowever occasionally results in undesired effects that should otherwise be prevented or resolvedspeedily. There are available numerous medicines with varied modes of administration commerciallyavailable for the management of inflammation. With the growing evidence of cannabis’ therapeuticeffects, its anti-inflammatory properties being one of them, debates among proponents and opponents ofcannabis use are ever growing. These debates are centered on the undesired central effects of some of theplants secondary metabolites an argument that can be moderated by using the plant in a manner thatsteers clear of these effects. Effective topical formulations could very well be one avenue through whichnature can be allowed to heal with minimal negative repercussions.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Entwurf eines Kammermusiksaales. In Verbindung mit dem bestehenden Schloss Reichenau soll ein Musikzentrum entstehen, das auch Platz für Einspielräume für die Musiker und Räumlichkeiten für die Musikschule Reichenau bietet. Ausschlaggebend für die Wahl des Bauplatzes war die Tatsache, dass die letzte Besitzerin des Schlosses, Margarethe Bader-Waißnix, eine Stiftung zugunsten der Marktgemeinde Kurort Reichenau an der Rax gründete, in der das Schloss, alle Nebengebäude, Fahrnisse und Erinnerungsstücke enthalten sind. Der Zweck dieser Stiftung war die Errichtung eines Kulturzentrums. Weiters wurde im Zuge einer Sanierung ein kleiner Veranstaltungssaal errichtet, der einen passenden Ausgangspunkt für den Entwurf bietet. Der Entwurf schließt an das städtebauliche Ensemble des Schlosses an und bietet einen weiteren Veranstaltungsort für musikalische Aufführungen. Unter anderem soll der neue Saal für die Internationale Sommerakademie der Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien genutzt werden. In Verbindung mit der Musikschule Reichenau, soll das Musikzentrum als Aufführungs- und Unterrichtsstätte genutzt werden und Raum für erstklassige Musik bieten.
description: This diploma thesis is a designproject about planning a chamber music hall. In connection with the existing castle of the city Reichenau an der Rax a music center should be founded. It should contain preparation rooms for the musicians and classrooms for the music school Reichenau. The decisive factor for the choice of the site was the fact, that the last owner of the castle, Margaret Bader-Waissnix, established a foundation with the purpose of establishing a cultural center around the castle. In the course of a renovation, a small event hall was built. That event hall forms an appropriate starting point for the design. The building adjoins the urban ensemble of the castle and offers another venue for music performances. Among others, the new hall will be used for the International Summer Academy of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. In connection with the music school of Reichenau, the music center should be seen as a performing and teaching facility and should provide space for excellent music performances.

description: Learning from Prata Sannita ist eine Reflexion zum Million Donkey Hotel von feld72, eine Art retro-aktives Manifest für einen Prozess und ein Projekt. An der Schnittstelle von Urbanismus, Architektur, Kunst und sozialem Projekt angesiedelt, wirft das Million Donkey Hotel Fragen auf zu Territorium und Identität, Peripherie und Zentrum, Schrumpfung und Transformation, und zeigt eine Möglichkeit, aus einer Krisensituation eine Chance zu entwickeln. Kann man ein Hotel in 24 Tagen bauen? Der Leerstand eines schrumpfenden Dorfes im Süden Italiens mit kaum mehr als 1500 Einwohnern wurde als Potential gesehen: die vielen unterschiedlichen leeren Räume im alten Dorf wurden als mögliche Zimmer eines diffusen Hotels wahrgenommen. Innerhalb eines Monats, mit der Hilfe von mehr als 40 Freiwilligen aus dem Dorf und einem Materialbudget von 10.000 Euro wurden -Schlafzimmer- und ein spezielles Badezimmer entwickelt und gebaut. In der Nebensaison können diese von den Pratesi als Erweiterung des öffentlichen Raumes genutzt werden. Das Million Donkey Hotel wird nun von einem Verein der -local heroes- weitergeführt - aus einem situationistischen Zugang hat sich ein nachhaltiges Projekt mit Einbezugnahme der lokalen Ressourcen und Ökonomie entwickelt.
description: Learning from Prata Sannita is a reflection on the Million Donkey Hotel by feld72, a retro-active manifesto for a process and a project. At the intersection of urbanism, architecture, art und social practice, the Million Donkey Hotel raises questions about territory and identity, periphery and centers, shrinking and transformation, and shows the potential for a future development of a former critical situation. Can you build a hotel in 24 days? How can we boost the micro-economy of a remote region that is seeing a decline in its population? When we were first invited to Prata Sannita, a village in the Matese regional park close to Naples, we asked ourselves: can´t we perceive this shrinking town, home to 1500 people, as a large, scattered hotel that still has rooms available: the abandoned spaces? In just one month we were able to recruit up to 40 volunteers to work with us on site. Using very straightforward methods, we excavated spaces from the abandoned architecture of the medieval village, reactivating them as -hotel rooms- and as a special -bathroom-, which can be used by the Pratesi as an extension of the public space during the -off-season-. -The Million Donkey Hotel- in Prata Sannita shows how a situationist-type-project can bring life back to an entire village - even in the long run.

description: The empirical tests of the convergence hypothesis conducted in the is pater evaluate the sector-specific differences in the speed of reduction of the productivity gaps across the Italian regions. Convergence of output per worker across industries and regions in 1981-94 in confirmed by means of cross section results, by panel unit root tests which detect the presence of a mean reverting component in output growth rates for the entire economy and its industrial sector, and by significant catching-up between the most productive area, Lombardia, and the other Italian regions. However, for most of the service sectors it is not possible to reject the presence of a unit root in output and the higher persistence of their output dynamics is generally associated to a velocity of reduction of the initial productivity gaps slower than the average. Regarding the industrial activities, the prevalence of a transitory component on output dynamics coexists with regional convergence in most cases, however, some manufacturing sectors evidence important permanent impulses and convergence does not hold.

description: Studies have shown that the financial integration of industrial and developing economies can lead to more efficient allocation of resources and to greater aggregate welfare. However, this integration might also lead to greater financial instability in relation to possible massive shifts in capital. This essay considers present global financial trends, and how the international and national financial systems might be better protected from the recurrence of crises. It argues that national and international surveillance and capital requirements should be complemented by risk control models, built and managed by the banks themselves and approved by national surveillance authorities, thus avoiding distortions to market forces and orienting bank managers to more efficient risk management.

description: New representations for an integral kernel of the transmutation operator and for a regular solution of the perturbed Bessel equation of the form $-u^{\prime\prime}+\left(\frac{\ell(\ell+1)}{x^{2}}+q(x)\right)u=ω^{2}u$ are obtained. The integral kernel is represented as a Fourier-Jacobi series. The solution is represented as a Neumann series of Bessel functions uniformly convergent with respect to $ω$. For the coefficients of the series convenient for numerical computation recurrent integration formulas are obtained. The new representation improves the ones from arXiv:1609.06679 and arXiv:1712.01363 for large values of $ω$ and $\ell$ and for non-integer values of $\ell$. The results are based on application of several ideas from the classical transmutation (transformation) operator theory, asymptotic formulas for the solution, results connecting the decay rate of the Fourier transform with the smoothness of a function, the Paley-Wiener theorem and some results from constructive approximation theory. We show that the analytical representation obtained among other possible applications offers a simple and efficient numerical method able to compute large sets of eigendata with a nondeteriorating accuracy.

Spin Frustration and Orbital Order in Vanadium Spinels

description: We present the results of our theoretical study on the effects of geometrical frustration and the interplay between spin and orbital degrees of freedom in vanadium spinel oxides $A$V$_2$O$_4$ ($A$ = Zn, Mg or Cd). Introducing an effective spin-orbital-lattice coupled model in the strong correlation limit and performing Monte Carlo simulation for the model, we propose a reduced spin Hamiltonian in the orbital ordered phase to capture the stabilization mechanism of the antiferromagnetic order. Orbital order drastically reduces spin frustration by introducing spatial anisotropy in the spin exchange interactions, and the reduced spin model can be regarded as weakly-coupled one-dimensional antiferromagnetic chains. The critical exponent estimated by finite-size scaling analysis shows that the magnetic transition belongs to the three-dimensional Heisenberg universality class. Frustration remaining in the mean-field level is reduced by thermal fluctuations to stabilize a collinear ordering.

description: Advances in restoration ecology are needed to guide ecological restoration in a variable and changing world. Coexistence theory provides a framework for how variability in environmental conditions and species interactions affects species success. Here, we conceptually link coexistence theory and restoration ecology. First, including low-density growth rates (LDGRs), a classic metric of coexistence, can improve abundance-based restoration goals, because abundances are sensitive to initial treatments and ongoing variability. Second, growth-rate partitioning, developed to identify coexistence mechanisms, can improve restoration practice by informing site selection and indicating necessary interventions (e.g., site amelioration or competitor removal). Finally, coexistence methods can improve restoration assessment, because initial growth rates indicate trajectories, average growth rates measure success, and growth partitioning highlights interventions needed in future.

description: The generation of large-scale magnetic fields is studied in dilaton electromagnetism in noncommutative inflationary cosmology taking into account the effects of the spacetime uncertainty principle motivated by string theory. We show that it is possible to generate large-scale magnetic fields with sufficient strength to account for the observed fields in galaxies and clusters of galaxies through only adiabatic compression without dynamo amplification mechanism in models of power-law inflation based on spacetime noncommutativity without introducing a huge hierarchy between the dilaton's potential and its coupling to the electromagnetic fields.

Exploring ecostructure : developing an ecostructural framework as an approach to a mass wasting hazard assessment
Creators: name: Maynard, Russell Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A mass wasting event (a landslide) on the Pitzsimmons Creek near the Resort Municipality of Whistler, B.C. threatens property and public safety through its potential to release again. The 'Fitz Slump',as it is locally known, is a landslide that occurred during unseasonably heavy rains in late August 1991. The Slump is located in a mountainous watershed characterized by steep forested slopes and thick glacial moraines. Several engineering reports have been completed on the Slump. These investigations included sampling, measurement, and extrapolation of discrete sample results to estimate the geotechnical details of the regolith, and importing these measurements into computational models to estimate the probable risks of a recurrence. This engineering approach is utilized as an informative and quantitative assessment to the multivariate dynamics of gravity-induced slope failure. An alternative, the ecostructural approach, also considers these complex dynamics but in contrast explicitly considers ecological influences on slope stability These influences are described by three major structural processes that provide an example of a stabilizing eco-infrastructure, via development of: (1) In-stream Structures, (2) Forest Root Systems, and (3) Preferential Flow Path Systems. These examples illustrate the coevolution of network-forming processes that synergistically produce a stabilizing ecological infrastructure herein termed 'ecostructure'. Ecostructures are the physical components of an ecosystem that form 'conservational' structures. These structures underpin the ecosystem services that develop as a emergent result. Ecostructure is the analog to institutional infrastructure, with certain caveats. The ecostructural approach utilizes a hierarchical template to organize the complexity of a large scale analysis, and attempts to identify explicit examples of ecosystem dynamics that can be characterized as having networked architectures. In this work, and in ecostructure as a concept, the salient points that create a generalizable model are: ∼ that complexity can be managed using hierarchy theory as a frame work for organizing the analysis ∼ that important properties are recognizable only at functional levels of organization and at similarly functional scales of organization ∼ that self-organizing systems tend to exhibit net worked architecture and that this architecture would seem to have general properties that can be useful in terms of managing for ecosystem services Keywords: Ecostructure, Watershed Dynamics, Preferential Flows, Networks, Headwater Hydrology, Headwater Geomorphology, Scale, Hirerarchy Theory, Self-organization, Near-decomposability, Sustainability.

description: Bürogebäude der 1960er und 1970er Jahre sind ein großes Potenzial künftiger Projektentwicklungen. Viele Objekte der 1960er und 1970er Jahre werden in den kommenden Jahren freigezogen oder sind es bereits, da sie den Anforderungen der Nutzer nicht mehr gerecht werden. Aus diesem Grunde, und weil innerstädtische Neubaugrundstücke immer seltener werden, erscheinen diese Gebäude besonders attraktiv für eine Umnutzung und Sanierung. Diese Arbeit erläutert den konkreten Fall einer Umwandlung von leerstehenden Büroräumen in Wien in ein Hotel.
description: 1960s and 1970s office buildings represent a great potential for future project developments. Many of these objects from the 1960s and 1970s are pulled free in the next years or are already vacant, because they no longer fulfill the requirements of the users. Therefore, and because urban construction land is becoming increasingly rare, these buildings appear particularly attractive for redevelopment and refurbishment. This paper illustrates the specific case of a conversion of vacant office space in Vienna in a hotel.

description: Aufgrund des weltweit zunehmenden Energie- und Ressourcenverbrauchs ist es im Bausektor wichtig und notwendig, alternative Baustoffe zu untersuchen und die Energieeffizienz zu verbessern. Einer dieser alternativen Baustoffe ist meiner Einschätzung nach der Lehmziegel. Der Vorteil eines Lehmziegels liegt darin, dass dieser nicht gebrannt werden muss und somit die Herstellungsenergie deutlich niedriger als bei Ziegel und Beton ausfällt. Im Zuge meines Forschungsprojektes wurde ein tragender Lehmziegel entwickelt und dessen bauliche Anwendung in einem Pilotprojekt erarbeitet. Durch das Beimischen verschiedener Zuschlagsstoffe soll die Tragfähigkeit und Haltbarkeit des Lehmziegels verbessert werden, ohne seine vielen positiven Eigenschaften zu beeinträchtigen. Der Lehmziegel selbst wurde von mir im Labor der Firma Wienerberger im Modellmaßstab entwickelt und geprüft. Des Weiteren untersucht diese Arbeit als Grundlagenforschung die Beschaffenheit eines historischen Wohngebäudes mit anschließendem Wirtschaftstrakt und behandelt thermische Sanierungsstufen im Altbestand. Aufgrund der Bestandsituation und der zukünftigen geänderten funktionellen Anforderungen an das Gebäude, stellte sich im Zuge dieser Arbeit heraus, dass ein kleiner Anbau erforderlich wurde. An diesem Zubau wird auch gezeigt, wie der tragende Lehmziegel eingesetzt werden kann.
description: Due to the increasing consumption of energy and resources worldwide it is essential in the building sector to prospect alternative building materials in order to improve their energy efficiency. One of those alternative building materials in my opinion is a brick made of clay. The advantage of clay bricks is that they are not being fired and this results in a lower energy consumption compared to fired bricks or concrete. In the course of my research project a load-bearing clay brick was being developed and its constructional usage possibilities were formulated in a pilot project. Through various additions of aggregates to the clay the brick's supporting properties and endurance were supposed to improve without compromising its many already existing positive attributes. The clay brick itself was developed and tested in model scale at the brick company 'Wienerberger'. Furthermore, the present work explores the constructional condition of a historical residential building with a connected farm block as a fundamental research project as well as its step by step thermal refurbishment. Due to the building's present situation and the prospectively functional requirements it was becoming clear that a small annex to the existing building would be necessary. This building extension is a good opportunity to display the use of the supporting clay brick.

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist der virtuelle Wiederaufbau der 1939 von den National- sozialisten zerstörten Synagoge in Bielsko-Biala im Süden Polens. Das Gebäude wurde nach Plänen des Architekten Ludwig Schöne erbaut, welcher den Entwurf einige Jahre zuvor bereits in Szombathely (Ungarn) realisierte. Die Gebäudehülle dieses Bauwerks ist bis heute erhalten. Diese Arbeit ist Teil eines bereits länger bestehenden Programms, welches die Dokumentation und den digitalen Erhalt physisch verloren gegangener Synagogen zum Ziel hat. Zu Beginn der Arbeit wird ein kurzer geschichtlicher Abriss über die Stadt Bielsko-Biala und die Entwicklung der ansässigen jüdischen Gemeinde gegeben. Dieser Teil ergänzt die virtuelle Rekonstruktion und stellt den historischen Kontext, in dem das Gebäude entstand, dar. Anschließend wird die Synagoge selbst von der Entstehung bis zu ihrer Zerstörung beschrieben, gefolgt von einer Analyse des Baukörpers. Im Hauptteil der Arbeit werden Vorgehensweise und Ablauf der virtuellen Rekonstruktion näher gebracht. Nach Darlegung des verfügbaren Materials werden in diesem Kapitel die nahezu baugleichen Synagogen in Bielsko-Biala und Szombathely miteinander verglichen, und es wird der Einfluss des "Vorgänger aus" auf die Modellierung es hrie en. Abschließend sind angewandte CAD-Techniken (computergestützes Konstruieren) und Arbeitsschritte erläutert, im letzten Kapitel werden schließlich die Ergebnisse der Rekonstruktion veranschaulicht.
description: The purpose of this thesis is to create a digital reconstruction of the synagogue in Bielsko- Biala, Southern Poland, which has been destroyed by the National Socialists in 1939. It was built according to the plans of architect Ludwig Schöne, who had realized a similar design in Szombathely (Hungary) a few years before. The envelope of this building is still preserved today. This thesis is part of an ongoing program, aiming at the documentation and digital preservation of physically lost synagogues. Beginning with a concise summary of the development of the City of Bielsko-Biala and its local Jewish community, the first part of the thesis aims at setting the building into a historical context, beginning with its inception to its destruction, followed by an analysis of the structure. The main part of the thesis is focusing on the method of digital reconstruction. Following the illustration of available documents and data, the nearly identically constructed buildings are compared to each other and influences of Szombathely synagogue on the reconstruction are specified. The process of modeling and CAD techniques are presented in the final part including the results of the visualization.

description: Laser intensity noise suppression has essential effects on preparation and characterization of the audio-frequency squeezed vacuum state of light based on a sub-threshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO).We have implemented two feedback loops by using relevant acousto-optical modulators (AOM) to stabilize the intensity of 795-nm near infrared (NIR) fundamental laser and 397.5-nm ultraviolet (UV) laser generated by cavity-enhanced frequency doubling.Typical peak-to-peak laser intensity fluctuation with a bandwidth of $\sim10$ kHz in a half hour has been improved from $\pm7.45$$\%$ to $\pm0.06$$\%$ for 795-nm NIR laser beam, and from $\pm9.04$$\%$ to $\pm0.05$$\%$ for 397.5-nm UV laser beam, respectively. The squeezing level of the squeezed vacuum state at 795 nm prepared by the sub-threshold OPO with a PPKTP crystal has been improved from -3.3 to -4.0 dB around 3$\sim$9 kHz of audio analysis frequency range.

description: Module for ab initio structure evolution (MAISE) is an open-source package for materials modeling and prediction. The code's main feature is an automated generation of neural network (NN) interatomic potentials for use in global structure searches. The systematic construction of Behler-Parrinello-type NN models approximating ab initio energy and forces relies on two approaches introduced in our recent studies. An evolutionary sampling scheme for generating reference structures improves the NNs' mapping of regions visited in unconstrained searches, while a stratified training approach enables the creation of standardized NN models for multiple elements. A more flexible NN architecture proposed here expands the applicability of the stratified scheme for an arbitrary number of elements. The full workflow in the NN development is managed with a customizable 'MAISE-NET' wrapper written in Python. The global structure optimization capability in MAISE is based on an evolutionary algorithm applicable for nanoparticles, films, and bulk crystals. A multitribe extension of the algorithm allows for an efficient simultaneous optimization of nanoparticles in a given size range. Implemented structure analysis functions include fingerprinting with radial distribution functions and finding space groups with the SPGLIB tool. This work overviews MAISE's available features, constructed models, and confirmed predictions.
Steroids and sexual differentiation of the songbird brain
Creators: name: Chin, Eunice Hannah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Sexual differentiation of the songbird brain has traditionally thought to be driven by gonadal testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2). Recent studies have indicated that other sources of sex steroids may be responsible. Moreover, these alternative sources may release precursors, such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which are subsequently converted downstream to sex steroids, such as E2, only at target tissues. This thesis examines plasma and tissue hormone profiles during development and possible alternative sources of sex steroids, including the adrenals, brain and liver, during the nestling phase in the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris). In the first experiment, wild starling chicks were blood sampled from either the brachial wing vein or the jugular vein from hatch (PO) to fledging (P20). In the second experiment, brain and peripheral tissues were collected from wild starling chicks at PO, P6 and P8. Hormones were extracted from samples using solid phase extraction, and then measured using radioimmunassays. Plasma DHEA was higher in males than females at P4 in the brachial vein, whereas plasma DHEA was higher in females than males at PO and PIO in the jugular vein. No sex difference was found in plasma E2. Brain DHEA was low, but detectable, in all regions at all ages, and a sex difference was only detected at PO. Brain E2 was nondetectable in all regions at all ages. DHEA was detectable in all peripheral tissues, with the gonadal tissue containing the highest levels of DHEA. Taken together, these data suggest that the gonads may be the primary source of circulating DHEA, and that the adrenals may be a secondary source during the nestling phase.

La profession vétérinaire est confrontée à deux changements concomitants : les femmes arrivent en nombre, en même temps que les spécialisations se recomposent, les animaux d’élevage perdant du terrain au profit des animaux de compagnie. Or, les relations entre ces deux phénomènes ne sont pas de cause à effet. Le processus de féminisation en cours pourrait même paraître comme atypique, la spécialité connotée comme la plus masculine se trouvant supplantée par le secteur en expansion des animaux de compagnie, dans lequel s’investissent les femmes. Cette hypothèse est toutefois à relativiser car la reconnaissance et la légitimité dont bénéficie la spécialisation « animaux de compagnie » reste fragile.

description: (Abridged) We investigate the ionized environment of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 985 with a new Chandra-HETGS observation and an archival BeppoSAX observation. Two absorption components are clearly required to fit absorption features observed in the Chandra spectrum. The components have a difference of 29 in ionization parameter and 3 in column density. The presence of the low ionization component is evidenced by an Fe M-shell unresolved transition array (UTA) produced by charge states VII to XIII. The high ionization phase is required by the presence of broad absorption features arising from several blends of Fe L-shell transitions (Fe XVII-XXII). A third highly ionized component might also be present, but the data does not allow to constrain its properties. An X-ray luminosity variation by a factor 2.3 is observed between the BeppoSAX and Chandra observations (separated by almost 3 years). Variability in the opacity of the absorbers is detected in response to the continuum variation, but while the colder component is consistent with a simple picture of photoionization equilibrium, the ionization state of the hotter component seems to increase while the continuum flux drops. The most striking result in our analysis is that during both the Chandra and the BeppoSAX observations, the two absorbing components appear to have the same pressure. Thus, we suggest that the absorption arises from a multi-phase wind. Such scenario can explain the change in opacity of both absorption components during the observations, but requires that a third hotter component is pressure-confining the two phases. Hence, our analysis points to a 3-phase medium similar to the wind found in NGC 3783, and further suggests that such a wind might be a common characteristic in AGN.

description: Bounds on transport represent a way of understanding allowable regimes of quantum and classical dynamics. Numerous such bounds have been proposed, either for classes of theories or (by using general arguments) universally for all theories. Few are exact and inviolable. I present a new set of methods and sufficient conditions for deriving exact, rigorous, and sharp bounds on all coefficients of hydrodynamic dispersion relations, including diffusivity and the speed of sound. These general techniques combine analytic properties of hydrodynamics and the theory of univalent (complex holomorphic and injective) functions. Particular attention is devoted to bounds relating transport to quantum chaos, which can be established through pole-skipping in theories with holographic duals. Examples of such bounds are shown along with holographic theories that can demonstrate the validity of the conditions involved. I also discuss potential applications of univalence methods to bounds without relation to chaos, such as for example the conformal bound on the speed of sound.

description: Leukemia is a fatal disease that threatens the lives of many patients. Early detection can effectively improve its rate of remission. This paper proposes two automated classification models based on blood microscopic images to detect leukemia by employing transfer learning, rather than traditional approaches that have several disadvantages. In the first model, blood microscopic images are pre-processed; then, features are extracted by a pre-trained deep convolutional neural network named AlexNet, which makes classifications according to numerous well-known classifiers. In the second model, after pre-processing the images, AlexNet is fine-tuned for both feature extraction and classification. Experiments were conducted on a dataset consisting of 2820 images confirming that the second model performs better than the first because of 100% classification accuracy.
Integral points of small height outside of a hypersurface

description: Let $F$ be a non-zero polynomial with integer coefficients in $N$ variables of degree $M$. We prove the existence of an integral point of small height at which $F$ does not vanish. Our basic bound depends on $N$ and $M$ only. We separately investigate the case when $F$ is decomposable into a product of linear forms, and provide a more sophisticated bound. We also relate this problem to a certain extension of Siegel's Lemma as well as to Faltings' version of it. Finally we exhibit an application of our results to a discrete version of the Tarski plank problem.

description: Let $K$ be a number field, and let $W$ be a subspace of $K^N$, $N \geq 1$. Let $V_1,...,V_M$ be subspaces of $K^N$ of dimension less than dimension of $W$. We prove the existence of a point of small height in $W \setminus \bigcup_{i=1}^M V_i$, providing an explicit upper bound on the height of such a point in terms of heights of $W$ and $V_1,...,V_M$. Our main tool is a counting estimate we prove for the number of points of a subspace of $K^N$ inside of an adelic cube. As corollaries to our main result we derive an explicit bound on the height of a non-vanishing point for a decomposable form and an effective subspace extension lemma.

description: Les inspecteurs de la santé publique vétérinaire (ISPV) forment un corps au sens fort du terme, organiquement et symboliquement, mais un corps en transformation. Certaines de ses modifications dépendent des avatars politiques de la santé publique et de leur traduction dans le champ du pouvoir où les ISPV ont à compter avec d’autres rivaux et sont en position de « dominants dominés ». Mais les changements essentiels sont d’un autre ordre. Ils tiennent à la bipolarisation d’un corps partagé entre, d’un côté, les plus anciens (plus âgés, plus gradés, plus expérimentés mais sans formation spécifique, des hommes souvent portés par la promotion sociale, la leur et celle de leurs ascendants) qui sont aussi plus enclins à s’inscrire dans les jeux de pouvoir locaux ; de l’autre, les plus jeunes, en âge et en ancienneté (plutôt des femmes et de moindre grade), qui semblent adopter plus volontiers le mode procédural d’exercice du métier.

description: Point source detection techniques are used to identify and localise point sources in radio astronomical surveys. With the development of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope, survey images will see a massive increase in size from Gigapixels to Terapixels. Point source detection has already proven to be a challenge in recent surveys performed by SKA pathfinder telescopes. This paper proposes the Point Proposal Network (PPN): a point source detector that utilises deep convolutional neural networks for fast source detection. Results measured on simulated MeerKAT images show that, although less precise when compared to leading alternative approaches, PPN performs source detection faster and is able to scale to large images, unlike the alternative approaches.
Concetto di mercato e antitrust (The concept of the market and antitrust)

description: In order for the concept of the market to play a significant and non-contradictory role in economic (and antitrust) analysis, two conditions must be fulfilled. First, the characteristics of demand must be such as to demarcate a market unequivocally. Second, the competition in a specific market must have limited interaction with the rest of the economy. In general, these conditions cannot be met. First, the non-constancy of the elasticity of the demand function means that the size of the market depends on its structure and on the behaviour of its agents. Second, given differentiated products, the competitive relations between them will be heterogeneous, giving rise to as many market segments as there are individual products. Third, supply-side substitutability, i.e. the possibility of using a given technique to produce several products (not all in the same market) ensures that intra-industry economic dynamics prevail over intra-market ones. Finally, multi-market contacts between firms generate overall strategic conduct, making analysis of any particular market irrelevant. JEL Codes: K21, L40

description: This document unveils the NOVASOIL project's groundbreaking Draft Framework for soil health business models. It charts the framework's development, acknowledges its contributors, and unveils its mission: to empower stakeholders with a comprehensive guide for navigating crucial decision-making processes.The framework acts as a wellspring of knowledge, drawing upon diverse project elements and real-world case studies. Its ambitious goal? To become the ultimate resource, offering not only successful business models but also a practical design guide and a treasure trove of supporting materials. All this, with a singular focus: promoting soil health and nurturing sustainable agricultural practices. Accordingly, the report explains how business models can be carried out through specific case studies, considering barriers to implement, soil management practices, business model innovation, incentives and payment preferences.Through meticulous analysis of case studies and insightful stakeholder feedback, the framework explores a rich tapestry of business models, pinpoints implementation roadblocks, and measures the impact of sustainable soil management practices. It resoundingly reaffirms the critical role these practices play in maintaining healthy ecosystems.
