description: We present a hybrid compositional approach for real-time mission planning for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a time critical search and rescue scenario. Starting with a known environment, we specify the mission using Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) and use a hybrid dynamical model to capture the various modes of UAV operation. We then divide the mission into several sub-tasks by exploiting the invariant nature of safety and timing constraints along the way, and the different modes (i.e., dynamics) of the UAV. For each sub-task, we translate the MTL specifications into linear constraints and solve the associated optimal control problem for desired path, using a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) solver. The complete path for the mission is constructed recursively by composing the individual optimal sub-paths. We show by simulations that the resulting suboptimal trajectories satisfy the mission specifications, and the proposed approach leads to significant reduction in computational complexity of the problem, making it possible to implement in real-time. Our proposed method ensures the safety of UAVs at all times and guarantees finite time mission completion. It is also shown that our approach scales up nicely for a large number of UAVs.

description: To estimate the global costs of hearing loss in 2019. Prevalence-based costing model. Hearing loss data from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease study. Additional non-hearing related health care costs, educational support, exclusion from the labour force in countries with full employment and societal costs posed by lost quality of life were determined. All costs were reported in 2019 purchasing power parity (PPP) adjusted international dollars. Total global economic costs of hearing loss exceeded $981 billion. 47% of costs were related to quality of life losses, with 32% due to additional costs of poor health in people with hearing loss. 57% of costs were outside of high-income countries. 6.5% of costs were for children aged 0–14. In scenario analysis a 5% reduction in prevalence of hearing loss would reduce global costs by $49 billion. This analysis highlights major economic consequences of not taking action to address hearing loss worldwide. Small reductions in prevalence and/or severity of hearing loss could avert substantial economic costs to society. These cost estimates can also be used to help in modelling the cost effectiveness of interventions to prevent/tackle hearing loss and strengthen the case for investment.

description: The process of baryogenesis through the evaporation of black holes formed at the end of inflation phase is considered. The increase of black hole mass due to accretion from the surrounding radiation after the reheating is taken into account. It is shown that the influence of the accretion on the baryogenesis is important only in the case when the initial values of black hole mass are larger than $\sim 10^{4}{g}$. The behavior of calculated baryon asymmetry, as a function of model parameters, is studied.

description: Tinnitus and stress are recurrently reported together. The strength and direction of this relationship is not clear. The aim of this review is to catalogue the evidence of this relationship, how it has been described in adults and which instruments were used. Five-stage framework was followed. An online search of databases and published journals were conducted. The main inclusion criteria were original studies published in English and conducted in an adult human population, in which both tinnitus and stress were measured using different instruments. 5699 records were identified in the searching stage and 50 studies were eligible for data extraction. Measurements of perceived stress were most frequently used. Tinnitus patients tend to report louder and more bothersome tinnitus when they are stressed, but not all tinnitus patients associated stress with the onset or the severity of their tinnitus. Any positive correlation reported between stress and tinnitus levels varied in strength according to the used instrument. Post-intervention changes in stress and tinnitus levels showed inconsistency. There is considerable room for further research to study the relationship between stress and tinnitus. We highlight principal issues that should be considered in future studies.

The Increase of Competitiveness of Serbian Products in International Trade Through a System of Protecting Geographical Indications

description: This Article analyzes harmonization of regulations adopted by the Republic of Serbia in the field of protecting geographical indications with the EU relevant regulations. Full harmonization with the acquis communautaire should create a possibility for Serbia to sell its products on the World Market and to protect these brands legally. Serbia is rich in natural, agricultural and food products produced in undeveloped rural areas. However, unlike European producers, producers in Serbia have not sufficiently recognized their economic interest to protect their products with geographical indications and are less likely to use this type of protection. Therefore, we believe that an adequate system of protection harmonized with European and International Standards represents a significant economic potential for developing rural areas and can provide competitiveness of Serbian products labeled with geographical indications both on European and International Market.

description: We investigate ultra-high frequency electrical properties of nanoscale $n^+$-$i$-$n^+$ diodes made of polar semiconductors. The calculations show that the coupling between optical vibrations of the lattice and the ballistic electrons strongly modifies and enhances the time-of-flight effects giving rise to narrow resonances of the diode impedance in the reststrahlen frequency range. Particularly, negative dynamic resistance is induced in close proximity to the optical phonon frequency. The resonant effects in the dynamic resistance of nanoscale GaAs and InP diodes are studied in detail. The obtained magnitudes of the negative dynamic resistance effect indicate that the nanoscale diodes are capable of generating electromagnetic radiation in far-infrared spectral range under electric pumping.

We establish their desired theoretical properties, including the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution, reduction to the standard SVMs over (almost) linearly separable data sets, and detection of true sparsity pattern over (almost) quadratically separable data sets if the penalty parameter of $\ell_1$ norm is large enough. We also demonstrate their promising practical efficiency by conducting various numerical experiments on both synthetic and publicly available benchmark data sets.
Quasinormal modes of black holes in 5D Gauss-Bonnet gravity combined with non-linear electrodynamics

description: Quasinormal modes of black holes were previously calculated in a non-linear electrodynamics and in the Gauss-Bonnet gravity theory. Here we take into consideration both of the above factors and find quasinormal modes of a (massive) scalar field in the background of a black hole in the five-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity coupled to a non-linear electrodynamics having Maxwellian weak-field limit. For the non-linear electrodynamics we considered the high frequency (eikonal) regime of oscillations analytically, while for the lower multipoles the higher order WKB analysis with the help of Padé approximants and the time domain integration were used. We found that perturbations of a test scalar field violate the inequality between the damping rate of the least damped mode and the Hawking temperature, known as the Hod's proposal. This does not exclude the situation in which gravitational spectrum may restore the Hod's inequality, so that only the analysis of the full spectrum, including gravitational perturbations, will show if the quasinormal modes we found here for the scalar field can be a counterexample to the Hod's conjecture or not. We also revealed that in such a system, which includes the higher curvature corrections and non-linear electrodynamics, for perturbations of a massive scalar field there exists the phenomenon of the arbitrary long lived quasinormal modes - quasiresonances.

description: We formulate one methodology to put a value or price on knowledge using well accepted techniques from finance. We provide justifications for these finance principles based on the limitations of the physical world we live in. We start with the intuition for our method to value knowledge and then formalize this idea with a series of axioms and models. To the best of our knowledge this is the first recorded attempt to put a numerical value on knowledge. The implications of this valuation exercise, which places a high premium on any piece of knowledge, are to ensure that participants in any knowledge system are better trained to notice the knowledge available from any source. Just because someone does not see a connection does not mean that there is no connection. We need to try harder and be more open to acknowledging the smallest piece of new knowledge that might have been brought to light by anyone from anywhere about anything.

description: We present a method to calculate masses for components of both eclipsing and non-eclipsing binary systems as long as their apsidal motion rates are available. The method is based on the fact that the equation that gives the rate of apsidal motion is a supplementary equation that allows the computation of the masses of the components, if the radii and the internal structure constants of them can be obtained from theoretical models. For this reason the use of this equation makes the method presented here model dependent. We apply this method to calculate the mass of the components of the non-eclipsing massive binary system HD 93205 (O3V+O8V), which is suspected to be a very young system. To this end, we computed a grid of evolutionary models covering the mass range of interest, and taking the mass of the primary (M_1) as the only independent variable, we solve the equation of apsidal motion for M_1 as a function of the age of the system. The mass of the primary we find ranges from M_1= 60+-19 msun for ZAMS models, which sets an upper limit for M_1, down to M_1= 40+-9 msun for an age of 2 Myr. Accordingly, the upper limit derived for the mass of the secondary (M_2= Q M_1) is M_2= 25 msun is in very good agreement with the masses derived for other O8V stars occurring in eclipsing binaries.

description: In the wake of exploring CP-violation in the decays of B and Bc mesons, we perform the straightforward calculation of their nonleptonic decay rates within a relativistic quark model. We confirm that the decays Bc->Ds antiD0 and Bc->Ds D0 are well suited to extract the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle γthrough the amplitude relations because their decay widths are the same order of magnitude. In the b-c sector the decays B->D K and Bc->DD lead to squashed triangles which are therefore not so useful to determine the angle experimentally. We also determine the rates for other nonleptonic Bc-decays and compare our results with the results of other studies.

A double-pivot simplex algorithm and its upper bounds of the iteration numbers

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: In this paper, a double-pivot simplex method is proposed. Two upper bounds of iteration numbers are derived. Applying one of the bounds to some special linear programming (LP) problems, such as LP with a totally unimodular matrix and Markov Decision Problem (MDP) with a fixed discount rate, indicates that the double-pivot simplex method solves these problems in a strongly polynomial time. A variant of Klee-Minty cube is used to show that the estimated bounds of the iteration numbers are very tight. Numerical test on three variants of Klee-Minty cubes is performed for the problems with sizes as big as $200$ constraints and $400$ variables. Dantzig's simplex method cannot handle Klee-Minty cube problem with $200$ constraints because it needs about $2^{200} \approx 10^{60}$ iterations. But the proposed algorithm performs extremely good for all three variants.

description: TThe transition temperature (TC) between normal and superconducting states usually exhibits a dramatic increase or decrease with increasing applied pressure. Here we present, in contrast, a new kind of superconductor that exhibits the exotic feature that TC is robust against large volume shrinkages induced by applied pressure (here naming them as "RSAVS superconductors"). Extraordinarily, the TC in these materials stays almost constant over a large pressure range, e.g. over 136 GPa in the (TaNb)0.67(HfZrTi)0.33 high entropy alloy and 141 GPa in the NbTi commercial alloy. We show that the RSAVS behavior also exists in another high entropy alloy (ScZrNbTa)0.6(RhPd)0.4, and in superconducting elemental Ta and Nb, indicating that this behavior, which has never previously been identified or predicted by theory, occurs universally in some conventional superconductors. Our electronic structure calculations indicate that although the electronic density of state (DOS) at the Fermi level in the RSAVS state is dominated by the electrons from the degenerate dxy, dxz and dyz orbitals, these electrons decrease in influence with increasing pressure. In contrast, however, the contribution of the degenerate dx2-y2 and dz2 orbital electrons remains almost unchanged at the Fermi level, suggesting that these are the electrons that may play a crucial role in stabilizing the TC in the RSAVS state.

description: The present study has aimed at identifying the relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction of registered nurses at Jordanian private hospitals, the population of the study consisted of registered nurses at private hospitals located in Amman (capital of Jordan). There have been 200 surveys mailed out to registered nurses. One hundred and sixty eight usable surveys have been returned with an 83% response rate. Regarding transformational leadership, the survey was adapted from the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) developed by Weiss (1967) was adapted to measure the two factors of job satisfaction. The present study has shown a statistically significant positive relationship existing between the five dimensions of transformational leadership and the two dimensions of job satisfaction, the strongest relationship between internal job satisfaction and transformational leadership has been visible among the intellectual stimulation dimension.

description: We construct the noncommutative deformation of the Maldacena-Nunez supergravity solution. The background describes a bound state of D5-D3 branes wrapping an S^2 inside a Calabi-Yau three-fold, and in the presence of a magnetic B-field. The dual field theory in the IR is a N=1 U(N) SYM theory with spatial noncommutativity. We show that, under certain conditions, the massive Kaluza-Klein states can be decoupled and that UV/IR mixing seems to be visible in our solution. By calculating the quark-antiquark potential via the Wilson loop we show confinement in the IR and strong repulsion at closer distances. We also compute the beta-function and show that it coincides with the recently calculated commutative one.

description: Systems approach, contingency theory, modeling and interviewing are used to research whether the integration of the financial accounting and budget systems that are based on different accounting principles into a balanced overall system will increase the efficiency of financial management and will provide more ways of management in Estonian public organizations. The integration of the systems will create a semantically and organizationally interacting information system for a midterm period, which could be used at all managerial levels in all organizations in real time by developing the information technological infrastructure in Estonia. As feedback, control authorities impart information about the deviations between the objectives of the information and the attainments to the decision-makers, which will enable the decision-makers to make corrections and improve the quality of decisions.

description: In evolutionary dynamics, a key measure of a mutant trait's success is the probability that it takes over the population given some initial mutant-appearance distribution. This "fixation probability" is difficult to compute in general, as it depends on the mutation's effect on the organism as well as the population's spatial structure, mating patterns, and other factors. In this study, we consider weak selection, which means that the mutation's effect on the organism is small. We obtain a weak-selection perturbation expansion of a mutant's fixation probability, from an arbitrary initial configuration of mutant and resident types. Our results apply to a broad class of stochastic evolutionary models, in which the size and spatial structure are arbitrary (but fixed). The problem of whether selection favors a given trait is thereby reduced from exponential to polynomial complexity in the population size, when selection is weak. We conclude by applying these methods to obtain new results for evolutionary dynamics on graphs.

description: We investigate phenomenological models of star formation and supernova feedback in N-body/SPH simulations of galaxy formation. First, we compare different prescriptions in the literature for turning cold gas into stars neglecting feedback effects. We find that most prescriptions give broadly similar results: the ratio of cold gas to stars in the final galaxies is primarily controlled by the range of gas densities where star formation is allowed to proceed efficiently. In the absence of feedback, the fraction of gas that cools is much too high resulting, for example, in a K-band luminosity function that is much brighter than observed. This problem is ameliorated by including a feedback model which either imparts radial kinetic perturbations to galactic gas or directly reheats such material and prevents it from cooling for a certain period of time. In both these models, a significant fraction of cold gas is heated and expelled from haloes with an efficiency that varies inversely with with halo circular velocity. Increasing the resolution of a simulation allows a wider dynamic range in mass to be followed, but the average properties of the resolved galaxy population remain largely unaffected. However, as the resolution is increased, more and more gas is reheated by small galaxies; our results suggest that convergence requires the full mass range of galaxies to be resolved.

description: A preponderance of astrophysical and cosmological evidence indicates that the universe contains not only visible matter but also dark matter. In order to suppress the couplings between the dark and visible sectors, a standard assumption is that these two sectors communicate only through a mediator. In this paper we make a simple but important observation: if the dark sector contains multiple components with similar quantum numbers, then this mediator also generically gives rise to dark-sector decays, with heavier dark components decaying to lighter components. This in turn can even give rise to relatively long dark decay chains, with each step of the decay chain also producing visible matter. The visible byproducts of such mediator-induced decay chains can therefore serve as a unique signature of such scenarios. In order to examine this possibility more concretely, we examine a scenario in which a multi-component dark sector is connected through a mediator to Standard-Model quarks. We then demonstrate that such a scenario gives rise to multi-jet collider signatures, and we examine the properties of such jets at both the parton and detector levels. Within relatively large regions of parameter space, we find that such multi-jet signatures are not excluded by existing monojet and multi-jet searches. Such decay cascades therefore represent a potential discovery route for multi-component dark sectors at current and future colliders.

description: Using renewable energy for domestic consumption has been identified as a key strategy by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Critical to the success of this strategy is to know whether consumers are willing to pay to increase the proportion of electricity generated from renewable energy in their electricity portfolio. There are a number of studies in the literature that report a wide range of willingness to pay estimates. In this study, we used a meta-regression analysis to determine how much of the variation in willingness to pay reflects true differences across the population and how much is due to study design, such as survey design and administration, and model specification. The results showed that factors that influence willingness to pay in individual studies, such as renewable energy type, consumers’ socio-economic profile and consumers’ energy consumption patterns, explain less variation in willingness to pay estimates than the characteristics of the study design. We also found that consumers have significantly higher willingness to pay for electricity generated from solar or generic renewable energy source (i.e. not a specific source) than wind, hydro or biomass. Due to the effect of study design on willingness to pay, we recommend that policy makers exercise caution when interpreting and using willingness to pay results from primary studies.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a potent medication for HIV prevention, shows promise for reducing HIV disparities. However, PrEP is not equitably utilized by all races and ethnicities in the USA. Its uptake is especially low among African Americans, who are disproportionately impacted by HIV. Understanding factors influencing low PrEP uptake among diverse priority groups of African American young adults beyond gender and sexual minority groups (e.g., cisgender heterosexual people) may increase PrEP uptake. Data were from the Afya project, a study examining the use of PrEP for HIV prevention among multiple priority groups of African American young adults at heightened HIV risk, using Theory of Reasoned Action/Theory of Planned Behavior (TRA/TPB) as a theoretical framework. Eleven focus groups (N = 63) were conducted in Louisville, Kentucky from June to November 2018 with African American young adult priority groups (18–29 years old): men who have sex with men, transgender women, and cisgender heterosexual men and women demonstrating heightened sexual risk. Data were analyzed using constructivist grounded theory techniques. PrEP awareness, knowledge, perceived HIV risk and perceived need for PrEP (behavioral beliefs) and adherence beliefs (control beliefs), opinions of others (subjective norms), and confidence in ability to adhere to PrEP (perceived behavior controls) influenced acceptability of PrEP (participants’ attitudes) and, in turn, influenced intention to use PrEP either negatively or positively. Thus, understanding factors that create reticence to PrEP use provides useful insight for tailoring outreach interventions towards African American young adults to improve PrEP uptake.

description: In this letter we propose a possible mechanism of left- and right-handed neutrino couplings to photons, which arises quite naturally in non-commutative gauge field theory. We estimate the predicted additional energy-loss in stars induced by space-time non-commutativity. The usual requirement that any new energy-loss mechanism in globular stellar clusters should not excessively exceed the standard neutrino losses implies a scale of non-commutative gauge theory above the scale of weak interactions.
