description: We study the dynamical process of the vortex tangle development under a spherically symmetric thermal counterflow around a heat source submerged into a bulk superfluid 4He. We reveal a peculiar vortex dynamics that is unique to this geometry, which is greatly diverse from the vortex dynamics in a homogeneous counterflow. Two types of heater are considered here, namely, a spherical heater with a solid wall and a point-like heater. In both cases, a spherical vortex tangle is formed surrounding the heater. The mechanism of vortex tangle development in the vicinity of a solid wall is strongly governed by Donnelly-Glaberson instability; while, far away from the heater or around a point heater, the mechanism is governed by the dynamics of polarized vortex loops in radial counterflow. The decay process of such localized vortex tangles is also investigated and is compared with that of homogeneous vortex tangles.

description: INTRODUCTION : This study presents the results from a meso-inventory conducted in Kebbi State, Northern Nigeria between March and July 2018. We explore he extent to which the farmed-fish value chain is transforming structurally and the roles of capture fishing versus farmed fish. Kebbi is one of Nigeria’s leading states for fish production. Though largely Sudan Savanna (in the north) and Northern Guinea savanna (in the south), and thus semi-arid tropics, there is still a lot of water and a lot of fish. Kebbi’s role in fish production stems from the presence of the longest river in West Africa (River Niger) in the State. River Niger traverses about 374 km within the state. (Raji et al., 2008). Furthermore, the establishment (creation) of Kainji Lake (a reservoir built 1964-68) on the River Niger, with 50% of the surface water in Kebbi State, also facilitated the emergence of fish farming in the state.

Battery production

description: Battery technology in combination with carbon-free energy presents a major paradigm shift for the future of the mobility and energy storage sector and already creates an immense demand for large scale battery factories. However, current battery production sites still report considerable scrap rates caused by insufficient process control and a lack of adequate production tolerances, which increase the cost and environmental impact of the battery cells. The present work introduces a methodology which assist in defining model-based production tolerances by considering the impact of varying process parameters on final cell properties in combination with production cost and cell revenue.

description: Topologia algebraiczna rozwijała się bardzo intensywnie w II połowie XX wieku i ma dziś status teorii w pełni dojrzałej, o ugruntowanych podstawach i ważnych zastosowaniach – np. w analizie globalnej. Podstawy teorii o różnym stopniu za-awansowania ujęte są w wielu podręcznikach i monografiach, spośród których autor niniejszego skryptu wybrał 7 (tzn. [8], [11], [4] i [9] oraz [3], [7] i [10]) jako rekomendowany materiał uzupełniający. Skrypt przewidziany jest na roczny kurs podstaw topologii algebraicznej (wykład plus ćwiczenia). Ze względu na własne zainteresowania, autor wychodzi od pojęć grupy podstawowej i nakrycia, ale główny ciężar wykładu dotyczy teorii singularnej (homologie i kohomologie). Wymagania wstępne w zakresie topologii i teorii grup nie wykraczają poza podstawowy materiał kursowy – por. [6] i [2].

description: The confluent algorithm, a degenerate case of the second order supersymmetric quantum mechanics, is studied. It is shown that the transformation function must asymptotically vanish to induce non-singular final potentials. The technique can be used to create a single level above the initial ground state energy. The method is applied to the free particle, one-soliton well and harmonic oscillator.

description: The_commuting variety_ is the pairs of NxN matrices (X,Y) such that XY = YX. We introduce the_diagonal commutator scheme_, {(X,Y) : XY-YX is diagonal}, which we prove to be a reduced complete intersection, one component of which is the commuting variety. (We conjecture there to be only one other component.) The diagonal commutator scheme has a flat degeneration to the scheme {(X,Y) : XY lower triangular, YX upper triangular}, which is again a reduced complete intersection, this time with n! components (one for each permutation). The degrees of these components give interesting invariants of permutations.

Observational constraints on cosmic strings: Bayesian analysis in a three dimensional parameter space

description: Current data exclude cosmic strings as the primary source of primordial density fluctuations. However, in a wide class of inflationary models, strings can form at later stages of inflation and have potentially detectable observational signatures. We study the constraints from WMAP and SDSS data on the fraction of primordial fluctuations sourced by local cosmic strings. The Bayesian analysis presented in this brief report is restricted to the minimal number of parameters. Yet it is useful for two reasons. It confirms the results of Pogosian et al (2003) using an alternative statistical method. Secondly, it justifies the more costly multi-parameter analysis. Already, varying only three parameters -- the spectral index and the amplitudes of the adiabatic and string contributions -- we find that the upper bound on the cosmic string contribution is of order 10%. We expect that the full multi-parameter study, currently underway, will likely loosen this bound.

description: Development of a biodegradable and recyclable halochromic biosensor for monitoring spoilage of packaged seer fish is described in this study. The biosensor was prepared completely from materials of natural origin. The sensor was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) and image processing by CIELab. The biosensor indicated spoilage of fish by exhibiting a visible color change from brownish pink to yellowish green. The results of the biodegradability test indicated that the developed sensors decompose at the rate of 60–70% in 2 weeks. This biosensor can be recycled at least six times. It was also estimated that the cost for one biosensor per package was approximately 2 cents. Thus, the biosensor developed in this study is economical, biodegradable, and efficient in monitoring spoilage of packaged fishes. Hence, this economical biosensor can easily be adopted by retail sellers and exporters. The biosensor developed in this study is promising for monitoring spoilage of packaged fishes in retail markets.

description: We discuss in detail the dynamics of maps $z\mapsto ae^z+be^{-z}$ for which both critical orbits are strictly preperiodic. The points which converge to $\infty$ under iteration contain a set $R$ consisting of uncountably many curves called ``rays'', each connecting $\infty$ to a well-defined ``landing point'' in $\C$, so that every point in $\C$ is either on a unique ray or the landing point of finitely many rays. The key features of this paper are the following two: (1) this is the first example of a transcendental dynamical system where the Julia set is all of $\C$ and the dynamics is described in detail using symbolic dynamics; and (2) we get the strongest possible version (in the plane) of the ``dimension paradox'': the set $R$ of rays has Hausdorff dimension 1, and each point in $\C\sm R$ is connected to $\infty$ by one or more disjoint rays in $R$; as a complement of a 1-dimensional set, $\C\sm R$ has of course Hausdorff dimension 2 and full Lebesgue measure.

description: Topological photonics provides an ideal platform for demonstrating novel band topology concepts, which are also promising for robust waveguiding, communication and computation applications. However, many challenges such as extremely large device footprint and functionality at short wavelengths remain to be solved which are required to make practical and useful devices that can also couple to electronic excitations in many important organic and inorganic semiconductors. In this letter, we report an experimental realization of Z_2 photonic topological insulators with their topological edge state energies spanning across the visible wavelength range including in the sub-500 nm regime. The photonic structures are based on deformed hexagonal lattices with preserved six-fold rotational symmetry patterned on suspended SiNx membranes. The experimentally measured energy-momentum dispersion of the topological lattices directly show topological band inversion by the swapping of the brightness of the bulk energy bands, and also the helical edge states when the measurement is taken near the topological interface. The robust topological transport of the helical edge modes in real space is demonstrated by successfully guiding circularly polarized light beams unidirectionally through sharp kinks without major signal loss. This work paves the way for small footprint photonic topological devices working in the short wavelength range that can also be utilized to couple to excitons for unconventional light-matter interactions at the nanoscale.

description: Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) have been utilized to investigate the properties of a two-dimensional electron system, subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field and monochromatic microwave radiation, in the regime where the so-called microwave-induced zero-resistance states form. Contrary to conventional magneto-transport in Hall bar and van der Pauw geometries, the collimated SAW beam probes only the bulk of the electronic system exposed to this wave. Clear signatures appear in the SAW propagation velocity corroborating that neither contacts, nor sample edges are a root source for their emergence. By virtue of the directional nature of this probing method and with the assistance of theoretical modelling, we were also able to demonstrate that the SAW response depends on the angle between its propagation vector and the orientation of domains which spontaneously form when zero-resistance is observed in transport. This confirms in unprecedented manner the formation of an inhomogeneous phase under these non-equilibrium conditions.

description: We argue that the coordination of the activities of individual complex agents enables a system to develop and sustain complexity at a higher level. We exemplify relevant mechanisms through computer simulations of a toy system, a coupled map lattice with transmission delays. The coordination here is achieved through the synchronization of the chaotic operations of the individual elements, and on the basis of this, regular behavior at a longer temporal scale emerges that is inaccessible to the uncoupled individual dynamics.

description: To implement the next Generation NodeBs (gNBs) that are present in every Radio Access Network (RAN) slice subnet, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) enables the deployment of some of the gNB components as Virtual Networks Functions (VNFs). Deploying individual VNF instances for these components could guarantee the customization of each RAN slice subnet. However, due to the multiplicity of VNFs, the required amount of virtual resources will be greater compared to the case where a single VNF instance carries the aggregated traffic of all the RAN slice subnets. Sharing gNB components between RAN slice subnets could optimize the trade-off between customization, isolation and resource utilization. In this article, we shed light on the key aspects in the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)/NFV standards for sharing gNB components. First, we identify four possible scenarios for sharing gNB components. Then, we analyze the impact of sharing on the customization level of each RAN slice subnet. Later, we determine the main factors that enable isolation between RAN slice subnets. Finally, we propose a 3GPP/NFV-based description model to define the lifecycle management of shared gNB components

description: The aim of the study is to analyze selected indicators defining the behavior of Russians on the Polish market with particular regard to the agri-food market, and to identify the most important changes that have occurred between 2010-2017. To verify the assumptions, the analysis of border traffic, purpose and frequency of arrivals of Russians to Poland was used, as well as the size and structure of expenses incurred by the Russians in Poland in the analyzed period. The article is the result of an analysis of literature and statistical studies. Data analysis was based on: descriptive methods, time series and inference. Border traffic on the Polish-Russian border is characterized by the variability of the dynamics of Russian arrivals to Poland, influenced by the regulations governing the functioning of border traffic between the Republic of Poland and the Russian Federation, price relations between neighboring countries and the international situation. All changes to the regulations governing the flow of goods and services on the Polish-Russian border were reflected in the purpose and frequency of arrivals of Russians to Poland and in the amount of expenses incurred by them in Poland. / Synopsis. Celem opracowania jest analiza wybranych wskaźników ilustrujących zachowania Rosjan na rynku polskim ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem rynku rolno-spożywczego, oraz wskazanie najważniejszych zmian jakie zaszły w latach 2010-2017. Do weryfikacji założeń wykorzystano analizę ruchu granicznego, celu i częstotliwości przyjazdów Rosjan do Polski, a także wielkości i struktury wydatków poniesionych przez Rosjan w Polsce w analizowanym okresie. Artykuł jest wynikiem analizy literatury i opracowań statystycznych. Do analizy danych wykorzystano metody: opisową, szeregów czasowych oraz wnioskowania. Ruch graniczny na granicy polsko-rosyjskiej charakteryzuje zmienność dynamiki przyjazdów Rosjan do Polski, na którą wpływ mają m.in. przepisy regulujące zasady funkcjonowania ruchu granicznego między Rzeczypospolitą Polską a Federacją Rosyjską, relacje cenowe pomiędzy sąsiadującymi krajami oraz niestabilna sytuacja międzynarodowa. Wszelkie zmiany przepisów regulujących przepływ towarów i usług na granicy polsko-rosyjskiej, znalazły odzwierciedlenie w celu i częstotliwości przyjazdów Rosjan do Polski oraz w wysokości wydatków poniesionych w Polsce.

description: Animal production is a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One of the major challenges in sustainable management is to mitigate the effects of climate change by reducing GHG emissions. The diversity of animal production systems and accompanying diversification of technological processes, mean that specific production effects can be obtained at different levels of GHG emissions. The aim of the study was to determine the carbon footprint (CF) of beef cattle grown in a conventional system (i.e. indoor confinement). The research was carried out on the beef cattle farm belonging to a large-area enterprise, Długie Stare Ltd. The beef cattle production system consisted of the following subsystems: a basic breeding herd (consisting of suckler cows, replacement heifers and calves up to 6.5 months), breeding heifers, breeding bulls and fattening bulls. The method of life cycle analysis (LCA) in the stages from "cradle-to-farmgate" was used to assess the GHG emissions associated with the production of beef cattle. The average CF in the entire beef cattle production system was 25.43 kg of CO2 kg-1 of live weight of marketed cattle, while in the individual subsystems of basic breeding herd, breeding heifers, breeding bulls and fattening bulls, the CF (after GHG allocation) was: 11.0 kg CO2 eq., 34.30 kg CO2 eq., 27.32 and 25.40 kg CO2 eq., respectively. GHG emissions associated with young calves staying in the cow-calf pairs until weaning (in the period from 0-6.5 months), had a decisive influence on the final CF in each of the subsystems of beef cattle production. The second important factor directly affecting the CF was GHG emissions related to methane (CH4) enteric fermentation and manure management. Knowledge of factors affecting the CF structure allows better identification of critical areas in production processes with high GHG emission potential. Information on the CF of beef cattle and beef meat responds to a wider societal demand for the ecological characteristics of market products, which ultimately contributes to improving their market competitiveness.

description: Lisposoma josehermana Lamoral 1979 (Bothriuridae)
 Lisposoma josehermana Lamoral 1979: 665; Fet, Soleglad & Kovařík 2004: 196.
 Lisposoma joseehermanorum Lowe & Fet 2000: 34; Prendini 2003: 257. Unjustified emendation (junior objective synonym).
 This species name was based on the first names of Lamoral's parents: Marie­Josée and Herman. Lowe & Fet (2000) emended the spelling, both to restore a missing 'e' of the mother's name, and to provide a 'proper' genitive plural ending. Concerning the genitive, the two names cannot be reunited under the collective ending ­ orum, because of referring to different persons; this would be only allowed if the species were dedicated, for example, to 'Mr and Mrs Lamoral' (i.e., 'lamoralorum'). More importantly, it is not clear that Lamoral (1979) intended to use genitive for his species — in fact it seems he did not. The genitive case is only one of four ways to dedicate a species name to persons (Art. 31.1.). The 3rd edition of the Code (1985) includes an Appendix D III, p. 195 (unfortunately not currently included in the 4th edition), showing examples of dedications not ending with the 'classical' genitive suffixes. Lamoral (1979) might have constructed the name as a Latin adjective, by adding the ending 'a' as, for example, in 'linnaeana', 'kurtziana', etc. One may argue that to do it properly he should have used the ending ­iana, and not just an 'a', but incorrect latinizations are not to be considered 'inadvertent errors' (Art. 32.5.1.). Lamoral's mother's name was 'Marie­Josée', so it appears he also deliberately simplified the name (by not including Marie and deleting one 'e' from Josée). The best solution is to consider 'josehermana' as an arbitrary construct, and as such, an indeclinable word (i.e., no need to agree in gender with Lisposoma¸ neuter). In other words, the original spelling should be retained, as used again by Fet, Soleglad & Kovařík (2004).

description: Two surface active ionic liquids (ILs) having 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cationic moiety and dodecylsulphate based anionic moiety, i.e. [C5mim][DS] and [C7mim][DS], have been synthesised. 1H-NMR, thin layer chromatography was done for their characterisation. The electrical conductivity and surface tension measurements were performed to investigate the interfacial and bulk properties of the aqueous solutions of different alkyl chain ionic liquids. These techniques were employed to study the aggregation behaviour in aqueous conditions. Various surface active parameters were evaluated at 298.15 K from the surface tension measurements. The lowest surface tension (γCMC.) and maximum surface excess concentration (τmax) values showed that [C7mim][DS] had the highest surface activity. Conductance measurements were performed at three rising temperatures (288.15, 298.15, and 308.15) K, and their thermodynamic parameters were calculated. It indicated that micellisation of both ionic liquids was entropy driven at all temperatures.

description: Prosody Transfer (PT) is a technique that aims to use the prosody from a source audio as a reference while synthesising speech. Fine-grained PT aims at capturing prosodic aspects like rhythm, emphasis, melody, duration, and loudness, from a source audio at a very granular level and transferring them when synthesising speech in a different target speaker's voice. Current approaches for fine-grained PT suffer from source speaker leakage, where the synthesised speech has the voice identity of the source speaker as opposed to the target speaker. In order to mitigate this issue, they compromise on the quality of PT. In this paper, we propose CopyCat, a novel, many-to-many PT system that is robust to source speaker leakage, without using parallel data. We achieve this through a novel reference encoder architecture capable of capturing temporal prosodic representations which are robust to source speaker leakage. We compare CopyCat against a state-of-the-art fine-grained PT model through various subjective evaluations, where we show a relative improvement of $47\%$ in the quality of prosody transfer and $14\%$ in preserving the target speaker identity, while still maintaining the same naturalness.

description: The time-dependent variational principle is used to optimize the linear and nonlinear parameters of Gaussian basis functions to solve the time-dependent Schrodinger equation in 1 and 3 dimensions for a one-body soft Coulomb potential in a laser field. The accuracy is tested comparing the solution to finite difference grid calculations using several examples. The approach is not limited to one particle systems and the example presented for two electrons demonstrates the potential to tackle larger systems using correlated basis functions.

description: We give the first examples of infinite sets of primes S such that Hilbert's Tenth Problem over Z[S^{-1}] has a negative answer. In fact, we can take S to be a density 1 set of primes. We show also that for some such S there is a punctured elliptic curve E' over Z[S^{-1}] such that the topological closure of E'(Z[S^{-1}]) in E'(R) has infinitely many connected components.
