Economic and socio-cultural impacts of tourism development in Fenghuang County, China
Creators: name: Feng, Xianghong
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Tourism -- China -- Fenghuang Xian

description: "The Chinese government is making tourism an important rural development strategy. Local governments and outside developers jointly manage and develop natural and cultural resources to increase tourism revenues. The government sells development and management rights to large for-profit corporations. This paper examines one such project in Fenghuang County, Hunan Province, where Yellow Dragon Cave Corporation (YDCC) and the local government of Fenghuang County are jointly promoting tourism. Pleasant climate, stunning views, "colorful" ethnic minority cultures, and the newly discovered and partially restored Ming Dynasty "Southern China Great Wall" are the primary tourist attractions in Fenghuang County. This project impacts 374,000 people, made up of 29 national minorities and representing 74 percent of the local population. Some researchers argue that this public-private partnership successfully produces profits for developers and creates economic growth. The present research uses a power and scale perspective to identify the preliminary economic and socio-cultural impacts of this capital-intensive development model on local communities. Open-ended interviews with residents, government officials, and business representatives are combined with demographic and economic statistics to identify the decision-makers, document the distribution of social power, and identify the flow of costs and benefits through the tourism system."
Unethical behavior using information technology
Creators: name: Chatterjee, Sutirtha
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Information technology -- Moral and ethical aspects

description: The aim of this dissertation is to theoretically develop and empirically test a model predicting unethical use of IT. The arguments are based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), philosophy of ethics, and economics of unethical behavior. Furthermore, this work aims to understand how technology influences this unethical use of IT. At a broad level, this work incorporates the meta-framework provided by TPB and argues that attitude and subjective norms toward unethically using IT are strong predictors of intention of unethically using IT. Attitude is strongly influenced by ethical beliefs of the individual (drawing from the philosophical perspectives) and moral intensity of the act (of unethically using IT). Unethical use of IT is strongly predicted by intention to unethically use IT. Furthermore, unethical usage of IT is seen as an example of opportunistic behavior and this work examines as to how technology itself may provide facilitating conditions of such opportunistic behavior, thus influencing the intention to indulge in such behavior. Overall, this work examines unethical use of IT from philosophical (typically this is at an individual level), social, and technological angles and blends these considerations into a general theoretical model that can be empirically tested. A case-scenario based empirical study was conducted in order to test for the hypotheses. The subjects were undergraduate students in a large introductory Information Systems class. The subjects were randomly assigned a case scenario describing an example of unethical use of IT and answered a questionnaire based on the case scenario. In addition, the subjects were asked questions regarding their own personal opinions in certain matters of unethical use of IT. The results of the empirical study show a significant amount of convergence with the hypotheses posited. The findings reveal that unethical use of IT is determined by individual factors such as ethical beliefs, social factors such as subjective norms, economic factors such as overall perception of gain, and technological factors such as the facilitation afforded by the technology and individual's belief in the ability to manipulate IT. The contribution, limitation, and future implications, both in terms of research and practice, are discussed.
ATLAS Level-1 Endcap Muon Trigger for Run 3
Creators: name: Mizukami, Atsushi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The LHC is expected to increase its center-of-mass energy to 14 GeV and an instantaneous luminosity to 2.4×1034 cm-2s-1 for Run-3 scheduled from 2021 to 2023. In order to cope with the high event rate, an upgrade of the ATLAS trigger system is required. The level-1 Endcap Muon trigger system identifies muons with high transverse momentum by combining data from a fast muon trigger detector, TGC. In the ongoing Phase-I upgrade, a new detector called the New-Small-Wheel (NSW) and RPC-BIS78, will be installed in the inner station region for the endcap muon trigger. Finer track information from the NSW and RPC-BIS78 can be used as part of the muon trigger logic to enhance performance significantly. In order to handle data from both TGC and NSW, some new electronics have been developed, including the trigger processor board known as Sector Logic (SL). The SL board has a modern FPGA to make use of Multi-Gigabit transceiver technology, which will be used to receive data from the NSW. The readout system for trigger data has also been re-designed, with the data transfer implemented with TCP/IP instead of a dedicated ASIC. This makes it possible to minimise the use of custom readout electronics and instead use some commercial PCs and network switches to collect, format and send the data. This presentation describes the aforementioned upgrades of the level-1 Endcap Muon trigger system. Particular emphasis will be placed on the new algorithm in Sector Logic. The expected trigger performance will also be discussed.

description: The hyperfine structure of the ground state of erbium doped yttrium orthosilicate is analyzed with the use of electron paramagnetic resonance experiments in a tunable microwave resonator. This work was prompted by the disagreement between the measurements made in zero magnetic field [Phys. Rev. B, 94, 075117, (2016)] and a previously published spin Hamiltonian, which is derived from standard EPR measurements at 9.5 GHz [Phys. Rev. B, 74, 214409, (2006)]. The ability to vary magnetic field strength, resonator frequency, and the orientation of our sample enabled us to monitor how the frequencies of hyperfine transitions change as a function of a vector magnetic field. Compared to [Phys. Rev. B, 74, 214409, (2006)], we arrived at a different set of spin Hamiltonian parameters, which are also broadly consistent with their data. We discuss the reliability of our new spin Hamiltonian parameters to make predictions outside the magnetic field and frequency regimes of our data. We also discuss why it proved to be difficult to determine spin Hamiltonian parameters for this material, and present data collection strategies that improve the model reliability.

description: Background: Pre-existing comorbidities can compromise recovery post-stroke. However, the association between comorbidity burden and patient-rated perceived impact has not been systematically investigated. To date, only observer-rated outcome measures of function, disability, and dependence have been used, despite the complexity of the impact of stroke on an individual. Aim: Our aim was to explore the association between comorbidity burden and patient-rated perceived impact and overall recovery, within the first-year post-stroke, after adjusting for stroke severity, age, and sex. Methods: The sample comprised 177 stroke survivors from 18 hospitals throughout Australia and New Zealand. Comorbidity burden was calculated using the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Perceived impact and recovery were measured by the Stroke Impact Scale index and Stroke Impact Scale overall recovery scale. Quantile regression models were applied to investigate the association between comorbidity burden and perceived impact and recovery. Results: Significant negative associations between the Charlson Comorbidity Index and the Stroke Impact Scale index were found at three months. At the.25 quantile, a one-point increase on the Charlson Comorbidity Index was associated with 6.80-points decrease on the Stroke Impact Scale index (95%CI: −11.26, −2.34; p =.003). At the median and.75 quantile, a one-point increase on the Charlson Comorbidity Index was associated, respectively, with 3.58-points decrease (95%CI: −5.62, −1.54; p =.001) and 1.76-points decrease (95%CI: −2.80, −0.73; p =.001) on the Stroke Impact Scale index. At 12 months, at the.25 and.75 quantiles, a one-point increase on the Charlson Comorbidity Index was associated, respectively, with 6.47-points decrease (95%CI: −11.05, −1.89; p =.006) and 1.26-points decrease (95%CI: −2.11, −0.42; p =.004) on the Stroke Impact Scale index. For the Stroke Impact Scale overall recovery measure, significant negative associations were found only at the median at three months and at the.75 quantile at 12 months. Conclusion: Comorbidity burden is independently associated with patient-rated perceived impact within the first-year post-stroke. The addition of patient-rated impact measures in personalized rehabilitation may enhance the use of conventional observer-rated outcome measures.

Changes in northern Rio Grande ceramic production and exchange, late coalition through classic (A.D. 1250-1600)
Creators: name: Curewitz, Diane Contente
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Excavations (Archaeology) -- New Mexico

description: This study uses ceramic data from northern Rio Grande Coalition and Classic period (A.D. 1250-1600) sites to examine the changing nature of ceramic production and exchange. Specifically, I address how ritual changed ceramic economy by stimulating increased specialization and value-based exchange during a period of population aggregation and agricultural intensification. Aggregation of unrelated households as a result of migration raised population density and increased contact between socially distant people, necessitating more complex, multi-level communication and decision-making networks within and between settlements. New ritual systems, based in communal ceremonial feasting, increased demand for ceramic food preparation and serving vessels, while also serving to integrate these new co-resident groups. I argue that an expanded system of communal feasting conferred added social value on serving and cooking vessels used at these occasions and increased demand for them. This stimulated increased ceramic production among a limited number of producers with restricted access to skills, materials, and ritual knowledge. South of Frijoles Canyon and Santa Fe, manufacture of Glaze ware vessels offered an economic alternative for migrants arriving initially from the Western Pueblos and subsequently from early Glaze ware production centers. Demand for their products allowed them to create new exchange-driven social relationships with people only distantly related, based on the specific qualities of the goods themselves. Similar demand for Biscuit ware in the north had a comparable effect. Value-based exchange relationships supplemented the existing reciprocal, debt-based system. The relative degree of specialization increased, from production for household use to a system of part-time independent specialists, producing for exchange in excess of household and reciprocity needs. To increase understanding of emergent social complexity, I analyze ceramic attributes such as vessel size, slip color, and design, and identify geologic sources of vessel temper to determine distribution patterns of two Glaze types, two Biscuit types, and micaceous culinary ware. I then show how population movement, aggregation, and a new ideological system combined to produce changes in ceramic production and exchange, and link these changes with developments in settlement and social organization at the Coalition (A.D. 1150-1325) to Classic (A.D. 1325-1600) period transition in the northern Rio Grande.

PG 0154+182, HS 1824+5745, and HS 2151+0857 were observed at the MDM Observatory during 2004 and 2005. Our observations are sufficient to resolve the pulsations of all three target stars. We extend the number of known frequencies for PG 0154+182 from one to six, confirm that HS 1824+5745 is a mono-periodic pulsator, and extend the number of known frequencies to five for HS 2151+0857. We perform standard tests to search for multiplet structure, measure amplitude variations as pertains to stochastic excitation, and examine the mode density to constrain the mode degree l.

Trigger level analysis technique in ATLAS for Run 2 and beyond
Creators: name: Boveia, Antonio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: With the unprecedented high luminosity delivered by the LHC, detector readout and data storage limitations severely limit searches for processes with high-rate backgrounds. An example of such searches is those for mediators of the interactions between the Standard Model and dark matter, decaying to hadronic jets. Traditional signatures and data taking techniques limit these searches to masses above the TeV. In order to extend the search range to lower masses on the order of 100 GeV and probe weaker couplings, the ATLAS experiment employs a range of novel trigger and analysis strategies. One of these is the trigger-level analysis (TLA), which records only trigger-level jet objects instead of the full detector information. This strategy of using only partial event information permits the use of lower jet trigger thresholds and increased recording rates with minimal impact on the total output bandwidth. We discuss the implementation of this stream and its planned updates for Run 3 and outline its technical challenges. We also present the results of an analysis using this technique, highlighting the competitiveness and complementarity with traditional data streams.

description: In this paper we propose finite volume schemes for solving the inviscid and viscous quasi-geostrophic equations on coastal-conforming unstructured primal-dual meshes. Several approaches for enforcing the boundary conditions are also explored along with these schemes. The pure transport part in these schemes are shown to conserve the potential vorticity along fluid paths in an averaged sense, and conserve the potential enstrophy up to the time truncation errors. Numerical tests based on the centroidal Voronoi-Delaunay meshes are performed to confirm these properties, and to distinguish the dynamical behaviors of these schemes. Finally some potential applications of these schemes in different situations are discussed.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Background Road collisions and casualties pose a serious threat to commuters around the globe. Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) aim to make the use of technology to reduce the road accidents. However, the most of research work in the context of collision avoidance has been performed to address, separately, the rear end, front end and lateral collisions in less congested and with high inter-vehicular distances. Purpose The goal of this paper is to introduce the concept of a social agent, which interact with other AVs in social manners like humans are social having the capability of predicting intentions, i.e. mentalizing and copying the actions of each other, i.e. mirroring. The proposed social agent is based on a human-brain inspired mentalizing and mirroring capabilities and has been modelled for collision detection and avoidance under congested urban road traffic. Method We designed our social agent having the capabilities of mentalizing and mirroring and for this purpose we utilized Exploratory Agent Based Modeling (EABM) level of Cognitive Agent Based Computing (CABC) framework proposed by Niazi and Hussain. Results Our simulation and practical experiments reveal that by embedding Richardson's arms race model within AVs, collisions can be avoided while travelling on congested urban roads in a flock like topologies. The performance of the proposed social agent has been compared at two different levels.

description: Cake as a perishable food is a rich substrate for moulds and yeasts. One of today's challenges for the food industry is to guarantee safe food throughout the supply chain whilst retaining the nutritional properties. Hence the application of preservatives in food to maintain wholesomeness and freshness. This research assessed the fungal keeping property of four different preservatives in wheat flour cakes. Cakes were prepared from wheat flour using potassium sorbate, brandy, lime juice, and pawpaw wine as preservatives. Fungal population was determined, at 3-day intervals, on each cake product using standard cultural methods. The isolates wereidentified using cultural, microscopic and biochemical characteristics. Organoleptic evaluation of cake samples was conducted with a 9-point hedonic scale using a 7-member panel. At day 12, the lowest fungal population (5.11 log cfu/g) was observed in potassium sorbate–preserved cake and the highest (6.38 log cfu/g) was observed in brandy-preserved cake. The acceptability of the cake products by the panelists decreased with storage duration. The most acceptable cake was the brandy-preserved cake with an overall acceptability of 8.85, followed by potassium sorbate-preserved cake (8.75). Among the isolated fungi (n= 28), Aspergillus fumigatus was predominant (35.7%), followed by A. flavus (28.6%). This study indicated that potassium sorbate was the most effective of the studied preservatives. However, the effective fungal keeping property of pawpaw wine indicated its potential to satisfy the need for natural preservatives in cake production.

description: Context. The so-called Barbarian asteroids share peculiar, but common polarimetric properties, probably related to both their shape and composition. They are named after (234) Barbara, the first on which such properties were identified. As has been suggested, large scale topographic features could play a role in the polarimetric response, if the shapes of Barbarians are particularly irregular and present a variety of scattering/incidence angles. This idea is supported by the shape of (234) Barbara, that appears to be deeply excavated by wide concave areas revealed by photometry and stellar occultations. Aims. With these motivations, we started an observation campaign to characterise the shape and rotation properties of Small Main- Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (SMASS) type L and Ld asteroids. As many of them show long rotation periods, we activated a worldwide network of observers to obtain a dense temporal coverage. Methods. We used light-curve inversion technique in order to determine the sidereal rotation periods of 15 asteroids and the con- vergence to a stable shape and pole coordinates for 8 of them. By using available data from occultations, we are able to scale some shapes to an absolute size. We also study the rotation periods of our sample looking for confirmation of the suspected abundance of asteroids with long rotation periods. Results. Our results show that the shape models of our sample do not seem to have peculiar properties with respect to asteroids with similar size, while an excess of slow rotators is most probably confirmed.
Quantum Information Theory of Entanglement and Measurement

description: We present a quantum information theory that allows for a consistent description of entanglement. It parallels classical (Shannon) information theory but is based entirely on density matrices (rather than probability distributions) for the description of quantum ensembles. We find that quantum conditional entropies can be negative for entangled systems, which leads to a violation of well-known bounds in Shannon information theory. Such a unified information-theoretic description of classical correlation and quantum entanglement clarifies the link between them: the latter can be viewed as ``super-correlation'' which can induce classical correlation when considering a tripartite or larger system. Furthermore, negative entropy and the associated clarification of entanglement paves the way to a natural information-theoretic description of the measurement process. This model, while unitary and causal, implies the well-known probabilistic results of conventional quantum mechanics. It also results in a simple interpretation of the Kholevo theorem limiting the accessible information in a quantum measurement.

description: We point out the importance of the decay channels $A\to Zh$ and $H\to VV$ in the wrong-sign limit of the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) of type II. They can be the dominant decay modes at moderate values of $\tanβ$, even if the (pseudo)scalar mass is above the threshold where the decay into a pair of top quarks is kinematically open. Accordingly, large cross sections $pp\to A\to Zh$ and $pp\to H\to VV$ are obtained and currently probed by the LHC experiments, yielding conclusive statements about the remaining parameter space of the wrong-sign limit. In addition, mild excesses - as recently found in the ATLAS analysis $b\bar b \to A\to Zh$ - could be explained. The wrong-sign limit makes other important testable predictions for the light Higgs boson couplings.

description: We model the complex distribution of atomic hydrogen (HI) in the interstellar medium (ISM) assuming that it is driven entirely by supernovae (SN). We develop and assess two different models. In the first approach, the simulated volume is randomly populated with non-overlapping voids of a range of sizes. This may relate to a snapshot distribution of supernova-remnant voids, although somewhat artificially constrained by the non-overlap criterion. In the second approach, a simplified time evolution (considering momentum conservation as the only governing constraint during interactions) is followed as SN populate the space with the associated input mass and energy. We describe these simulations and present our results in the form of images of the mass and velocity distributions and the associated power spectra. The latter are compared with trends indicated by available observations. In both approaches, we find remarkable correspondence with the observed statistical description of well-studied components of the ISM, wherein the spatial spectra have been found to show significant deviations from the Kolmogorov spectrum. One of the key indications from this study, regardless of whether or not the SN-induced turbulence is the dominant process in the ISM, is that the apparent non-Kolmogorov spectral characteristics (of HI and/or electron column density across thick or thin screens) needed to explain related observations may not at all be in conflict with the underlying turbulence (i.e. the velocity structure) being of Kolmogorov nature. We briefly discuss the limitations of our simulations and the various implications of our results.

Circular dichrosim is experimentally observed at the maximum scattering of single oligomers consisting rotationally symmetric arrangements of gold nanorods, with strong agreement to numerical simulation. A dipole model is developed to show that this effect is caused by a difference in the geometric projection of a nanorod onto the handed orientation of electric fields created by a circularly polarized dark-field that is normally incident on a glass substrate. Owing to this geometric origin, the wavelength of the peak chiral response is also experimentally shown to shift depending on the separation between nanoparticles. All presented oligomers have physical dimensions less than the operating wavelength, and the applicable extension to closely packed planar arrays of oligomers is demonstrated to amplify the magnitude of circular dichroism. The realization of strong chirality in these oligomers demonstrates a new path to engineer optical chirality from planar devices using dark-field illumination.

description: Holomorphic chains on a Riemann surface arise naturally as fixed points of the natural C*-action on the moduli space of Higgs bundles. In this paper we associate a new quiver bundle to the Hom-complex of two chains, and prove that stability of the chains implies stability of this new quiver bundle. Our approach uses the Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence for quiver bundles. Moreover, we use our result to give a new proof of a key lemma on chains (due to Álvarez-Cónsul, García-Prada and Schmitt), which has been important in the study of Higgs bundle moduli; this proof relies on stability and thus avoids the direct use of the chain vortex equations.

description: Considering as an example a simple lattice ansatz for the chiral fermion determinant, we demonstrate that even very mild violation of gauge invariance by the determinant at finite lattice spacing leads to the need for another scale in the full gauge theory. This new scale is much grater than the lattice spacing and is associated with the gauge variables.

description: The Lindblad master equation for an open quantum system with a Hamiltonian containing an arbitrary potential is written as an equation for the Wigner distribution function in the phase space representation. The time derivative of this function is given by a sum of three parts: the classical one, the quantum corrections and the contribution due to the opening of the system. In the particular case of a harmonic oscillator, quantum corrections do not exist.

On the conformal duality between constant mean curvature surfaces in $\mathbb{E}(κ,τ)$ and $\mathbb{L}(κ,τ)$

description: The main aim of this survey paper is to gather together some results concerning the Calabi type duality discovered by Hojoo Lee between certain families of (spacelike) graphs with constant mean curvature in Riemannian and Lorentzian homogeneous 3-manifolds with isometry group of dimension 4. The duality is conformal and swaps mean curvature and bundle curvature, and we will revisit it by giving a more general statement in terms of conformal immersions. This will show that some features in the theory of surfaces with mean curvature $\frac{1}{2}$ in $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ or minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg space have nice geometric interpretations in terms of their dual Lorentzian counterparts. We will briefly discuss some applications such as gradient estimates for entire minimal graphs in Heisenberg space or the existence of complete spacelike surfaces, and we will also give an uniform treatment to the behavior of the duality with respect to ambient isometries. Finally, some open questions are posed in the last section.

description: Nowadays, a number of technology R&D activities has been launched in Europe trying to close the gap with traditional HPC providers like USA and Japan and more recently emerging ones like China. The EU HPC strategy, funded through EuroHPC initiative, leverages on two different pillars: the first one targets the procurement and the hosting of two/three commercial pre-Exascale systems, in order to provide the HPC user community with world-level class computing systems; the second one aims at boosting industry-research collaboration in order to design a new generation of Exascale systems which is to be mainly based on European technology. In this framework, analysis and validation of the HPC-enabling technologies is a very critical task and the FETHPC H2020 EuroEXA project (https://euroexa.eu) is prototyping a medium size (but scalable to extreme level) computing platform as proof-of-concept of an EU-designed HPC system. EuroEXA exploits FPGA devices, with their ensemble of either standard and custom high-performance interfaces, DSP blocks for task acceleration and a huge number of user- assigned logic cells. FPGA adoption allows us to design European innovative IPs such as application-tailored acceleration hardware (for high performances in the computing node) and low latency, high throughput custom network (for scalability). The EuroEXA computing node is based on a single module hosting Xilinx UltraScale+ FPGAs for application code acceleration hardware, control and network implementation, and, in a later phase, even a new project-designed, ARM-based, low power multi-core chip. EuroEXA interconnect is an FPGA-based hierarchical hybrid network characterized by direct topology at "blade" level (16 computing nodes on a board) and a custom switch, implementing a mix of full-crossbar and Torus topology, for interconnection with the upper levels. EuroEXA will also introduce a new high density liquid-cooling technology for blade system and a new multirack modular assembly based on standard shipping containers in order to provide an effective solution for moving, placing and operating large scale EuroEXA system. A complete and system-optimized programming software stack is under design and a number of scientific, engineering and AI-oriented applications are used to co-design, benchmark and validate the EuroEXA hardware/software solutions. In this talk, we will introduce the main project motivations and goals, its positioning within the EuroHPC landscape, the status of hardware and software development and the possible synergies with HEP computing requirements.

description: Flavor effects can have a significant impact on the final estimate of the lepton (and therefore baryon) asymmetry in scenarios of leptogenesis. It is therefore necessary to account fully for this flavor dynamics in the relevant transport equations that describe the production (and washout) of the asymmetry. Doing so can both open up and restrict viable regions of parameter space relative to the predictions of more approximate calculations. In this review, we identify the regimes in which flavor effects can be relevant and illustrate their impact in a number of phenomenological models. These include type I and type II seesaw embeddings, and low-scale resonant scenarios. In addition, we provide an overview of the semi-classical and field-theoretic methods that have been developed to capture flavor effects in a consistent way.

description: We present a study of the nuclear morphology of a sample of narrow- and broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1's and BLS1's) based on broad-band images in the Hubble Space Telescope archives. In our previous study, we found that large-scale stellar bars at > 1 kpc from the nucleus are more common in NLS1's than BLS1's. In this paper we find that NLS1's preferentially have grand-design dust spirals within approx. 1 kpc of their centers. We also find that NLS1's have a higher fraction of nuclear star-forming rings than BLS1's. We find that many of the morphological differences are due to the presence or absence of a large-scale stellar bar within the spiral host galaxy. In general, barred Seyfert 1s tend to have grand-design dust spirals at their centers, confirming the results of other researchers. The high fraction of grand-design nuclear dust spirals and stellar nuclear rings observed in NLS1's host galaxies suggests a means for efficient fueling of their nuclei to support their high Eddington ratios.

description: The rapid expansion of electronic commerce (e-commerce) poses significant challenges to traditional tax systems worldwide. This research paper thoroughly explores the complex terrain of e-commerce taxation in the digital age, highlighting the imperative for regulatory interventions. It delves into intricate issues such as the identification of taxpayers, determination of transaction locations, and classification of income within the digital domain. The study critically examines the concept of Permanent Establishment (PE), specifically focusing on digital triggers like servers and websites. In the context of Tanzania, the paper scrutinizes corporate income tax and addresses concerns related to online businesses evading taxation by sidestepping physical presence requirements. Throughout the investigation, emphasis is placed on the difficulties associated with taxing e-commerce in Tanzania, prompting an examination of global initiatives seeking a unified approach. Employing a doctrinal research methodology and drawing insights from primary and secondary sources, this paper contributes to the comprehension of e-commerce taxation by elucidating its complexities and underscoring the essential need for effective regulation.
Selective background Monte Carlo simulation at Belle II

description: The large volume of data expected to be produced by the Belle II experiment presents the opportunity for for studies of rare, previously inaccessible processes. To investigate such rare processes in a high data volume environment necessitates a correspondingly high volume of Monte Carlo simulations to prepare analyses and gain a deep understanding of the contributing physics processes to each individual study. This resulting challenge, in terms of computing resource requirements, calls for more intelligent methods of simulation, in particular for background processes with very high rejection rates. This work presents a method of predicting in the early stages of the simulation process the likelihood of relevancy of an individual event to the target study using convolutional neural networks. The results show a robust training that is integrated natively into the existing Belle II analysis software framework, with steps taken to mitigate systematic biases induced by the early selection procedure.
