description: Low-rank parity-check (LRPC) are rank-metric codes over finite fields, which have been proposed by Gaborit et al. (2013) for cryptographic applications. Inspired by a recent adaption of Gabidulin codes to certain finite rings by Kamche et al. (2019), we define and study LRPC codes over Galois rings - a wide class of finite commutative rings. We give a decoding algorithm similar to Gaborit et al.'s decoder, based on simple linear-algebraic operations. We derive an upper bound on the failure probability of the decoder, which is significantly more involved than in the case of finite fields. The bound depends only on the rank of an error, i.e., is independent of its free rank. Further, we analyze the complexity of the decoder. We obtain that there is a class of LRPC codes over a Galois ring that can decode roughly the same number of errors as a Gabidulin code with the same code parameters, but faster than the currently best decoder for Gabidulin codes. However, the price that one needs to pay is a small failure probability, which we can bound from above.

description: Those literary sources, which are about the interpretation of the working capital in a context with the financing strategies of the companies, about the related financial indices, and the counting methodological questions of all these, could not be called poor, nor unified. The deficiency of defining the concepts that give the theoretical basis and their vocational tenability, the controversial interpretation and the unclearness of the related methodological questions creates several problems. The problematic concepts are working capital, net working capital, working (operational) capital, the circulation of current assets and working capital management etc. The root of the problems could be found on the other hand in the unclearness of the theoretical contexts, in the deficiency and vocational tenability of the defining of the related concepts and categories. We define the concepts of working capital, net working capital, working (operating) capital based on the results of our several years of research work. We prove the theoretical basis of the concepts and we open up the causal connections, the interactions of the different elements, and we prove that the sectorial peculiarities cannot be separated from attention to defining the elements and the interpretation of the contexts.

description: We present a systematic way to construct solutions of the (n=5)-reduction of the BKP and CKP hierarchies from the general tau function of the KP hierarchy. We obtain the one-soliton, two-soliton, and periodic solution for the bi-directional Sawada-Kotera (bSK), the bi-directional Kaup-Kupershmidt (bKK) and also the bi-directional Satsuma-Hirota (bSH) equation. Different solutions such as left- and right-going solitons are classified according to the symmetries of the 5th roots of exp(i epsilon). Furthermore, we show that the soliton solutions of the n-reduction of the BKP and CKP hierarchies with n= 2 j +1, j=1, 2, 3, ..., can propagate along j directions in the 1+1 space-time domain. Each such direction corresponds to one symmetric distribution of the nth roots of exp(i epsilon). Based on this classification, we detail the existence of two-peak solitons of the n-reduction from the Grammian tau function of the sub-hierarchies BKP and CKP. If n is even, we again find two-peak solitons. Last, we obtain the "stationary" soliton for the higher-order KP hierarchy.

description: We present redshift distribution estimates of galaxies selected from the fourth data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey over an area of $\sim1000$ deg$^2$ (KiDS-1000). These redshift distributions represent one of the crucial ingredients for weak gravitational lensing measurements with the KiDS-1000 data. The primary estimate is based on deep spectroscopic reference catalogues that are re-weighted with the help of a self-organising map (SOM) to closely resemble the KiDS-1000 sources, split into five tomographic redshift bins in the photometric redshift range $0.1

Para tanto, buscamos a partir dessa temática, identificar questões comuns relacionada a esse grupo, como também o relacionamento no ambiente organizacional e debater as várias formas de preconceitos aos afrodescendentes ainda hoje. A pesquisa classifica-se como bibliográfica, com o objetivo de entender à ausência de lideranças afrodescendentes nas organizações. Partindo desses fatos questiona-se o quanto a história racista, o racismo estrutural e o racismo institucional atuam diante da baixa representatividade do negro nos altos cargos de liderança. Os resultados apontam fatores que levam o negro a não assumir cargos de liderança, discussões e a construção de políticas públicas de reparação dessa população que vive, ainda hoje, a margem da sociedade. Principalmente, dentro das instituições sejam elas públicas ou privadas. Assim, a formação acadêmica como via principal e o aumento da representatividade de afrodescendentes na gestão pública dão oportunidade a todos e promove a equidade entre os cidadãos.

Revisiting the hypertriton lifetime puzzle

description: Conflicting values of the hypertriton ($_Λ^{3}$H) lifetime were extracted in recent relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments. The ALICE Collaboration's reported $_Λ^{3}$H lifetime $τ(_Λ^{3}$H) is compatible within measurement uncertainties with the free $Λ$ lifetime $τ_Λ$, as naively expected for a loosely bound $Λ$ hyperon in $_Λ^{3}$H, whereas STAR's reported range of $τ(_Λ^{3}$H) values is considerably shorter: $τ_{\rm STAR}(_Λ^{3}$H)$\sim$(0.4-0.7)$τ_Λ$. This $_Λ^{3}$H lifetime puzzle is revisited theoretically using $_Λ^{3}$H three-body wavefunctions generated in a chiral effective field theory approach to calculate the decay rate $Γ(_Λ^{3}$H$\,\to ^3$He$\,+π^-$). Significant but opposing contributions arise from $ΣNN$ admixtures in $_Λ^{3}$H and from $π^-$-$^3$He final-state interaction. Evaluating the inclusive $π^-$ decay rate $Γ_{π^-}(_Λ^{3}$H) via a branching ratio $Γ(_Λ^{3}$H$\,\to ^{3}$He+$π^-)/Γ_{π^-}(_Λ^{3}$H) determined in helium bubble-chamber experiments, and adding $Γ_{π^0}(_Λ^{3}$H) through the $ΔI=\frac{1}{2}$ rule, we derive $τ(_Λ^{3}$H) assuming several different values of the $Λ$ separation energy $B_Λ(_Λ^{3}$H). It is concluded that each of ALICE and STAR reported $τ(_Λ^{3}$H) intervals implies its own constraint on $B_Λ(_Λ^{3}$H): $B_Λ\lesssim 0.1$ MeV for ALICE, $B_Λ\gtrsim 0.2$ MeV for STAR.

description: The nonanalytic property of metric resulting from the presence of gravitomagnetic monopoles is considered. The curvature tensors, dual curvature tensors, dual Einstein tensor (and hence the gravitational field equation of gravitomagnetic matter) expressed in terms of nonanalytic metric are analyzed. It is shown that the spinor gravitomagnetic monopole may be one of the potential origins of the cosmological constant. An alternative approach to the cosmological constant problem is thus proposed based on the concept of gravitomagnetic monopole.

description: Dialogue state modules are a useful component in a task-oriented dialogue system. Traditional methods find dialogue states by manually labeling training corpora, upon which neural models are trained. However, the labeling process can be costly, slow, error-prone, and more importantly, cannot cover the vast range of domains in real-world dialogues for customer service. We propose the task of dialogue state induction, building two neural latent variable models that mine dialogue states automatically from unlabeled customer service dialogue records. Results show that the models can effectively find meaningful slots. In addition, equipped with induced dialogue states, a state-of-the-art dialogue system gives better performance compared with not using a dialogue state module.

description: In recent decades the Hungarian intelligentsia, both political and governmental, emphasised the importance of higher education in socio-economic modernisation. At the same time, after nearly twenty years of system-transition we have to see that the ambitious goals of reforms in many cases have been turned into their opposite. This paper analyses the key actors and their strategies in the higher education system, highlighting the most important obstacles to development based on a multi-actor strategy model, based on institutional economy and principle-agent theory. The results show considerable divergence in force and interest-structure of different actors. As a consequence of relationship of forces it has been shown that, without steadfast governmental policy, long-term commitment for development and active participation of the business sector in innovation, there seems to be only a rather limited possibility for upgrading the agricultural higher education system.

description: The first multi-messenger gravitational wave event has had a transformative effect on the space of modified gravity models. In this paper we study the enhanced tests of gravity that are possible with a future set of gravitational wave standard siren events. We perform MCMC constraint forecasts for parameters in Horndeski scalar-tensor theories. In particular, we focus on the complementarity of gravitational waves with electromagnetic large-scale structure data from galaxy surveys. We find that the addition of fifty low redshift ($z \lesssim 0.2$) standard sirens from the advanced LIGO network offers only a modest improvement (a factor 1.1 -- 1.3, where 1.0 is no improvement) over existing constraints from electromagnetic observations of large-scale structures. In contrast, high redshift (up to $z \sim 10$) standard sirens from the future LISA satellite will improve constraints on the time evolution of the Planck mass in Horndeski theories by a factor $\sim 5$. By simulating different scenarios, we find this improvement to be robust to marginalisation over unknown merger inclination angles and to variation between three plausible models for the merger source population.

Stellar evolution with rotation XI: Wolf-Rayet star populations at different metallicities

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Grids of models of massive stars ($M \ge$ 20 $M_\odot$) with rotation are computed for metallicities $Z$ ranging from that of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) to that of the Galactic Centre. The hydrostatic effects of rotation, the rotational mixing and the enhancements of the mass loss rates by rotation are included. The evolution of the surface rotational velocities of the most massive O--stars mainly depends on the mass loss rates and thus on the initial $Z$ value. The minimum initial mass for a star for entering the Wolf--Rayet (WR) phase is lowered by rotation. For all metallicities, rotating stars enter the WR phase at an earlier stage of evolution and the WR lifetimes are increased, mainly as a result of the increased duration of the eWNL phase. Models of WR stars predict in general rather low rotation velocities ($ < 50$ km s$^{-1}$) with a few possible exceptions, particularly at metallicities lower than solar where WR star models have in general faster rotation and more chance to reach the break--up limit.The properties of the WR populations as predicted by the rotating models are in general in much better agreement with the observations in nearby galaxies. The observed variation with metallicity of the fractions of type Ib/Ic supernovae with respect to type II supernovae as found by Prantzos & Boissier (\cite{Pr03}) is very well reproduced by the rotating models, while non--rotating models predict much too low ratios.

description: Quantum many-body scarring is believed to be the mechanism behind long-lived coherent oscillations in interacting Rydberg atom chains. These persistent oscillations are due to the large overlap of the many-body scars with certain initial states. We show that the "effective dimension" is a useful measure for identifying non-thermalising initial states in many-body scarred systems. By minimising the effective dimension we find physically reasonable initial states of the Rydberg chain that lead to more pronounced and longer lived oscillations, accentuating the effect of the many-body scars on the dynamics.

An Independent Derivation of the Oxford Jet Kinetic Luminosity Formula

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: This letter presents a theoretical derivation of an estimate for a radio source jet kinetic luminosity. The expression yields jet powers that are quantitatively similar to a more sophisticated empirical relation published by the Willott, Blundell and Rawlings at Oxford. The formula allows one to estimate the jet kinetic luminosity from the measurement of the optically thin radio lobe emission in quasars and radio galaxies. Motivated by recent X-ray observation, the derivation assumes that most of the energy in the lobes is in plasma thermal energy with a negligible contribution from magnetic energy (not equipartition). The close agreement of the two independent expressions makes the veracity of these estimates seem very plausible.

description: The paper investigates the difference in technical efficiency and potential technology gap between French and Hungarian dairy farms during 2001-2006, using Data Envelopment Analysis under each country’s respective frontier and under a common frontier (metafrontier). Results indicate that French farms have a more optimal scale of production than Hungarian farms, but Hungarian farms make better use of the technology. They also have a more productive technology than French farms. The latter finding is obtained under the assumption of a hypothetical common frontier. Although French and Hungarian farmers do not have access to the same technologies and the metafrontier is still hypothetical, our paper adds to the thin literature that compares two countries in terms of performance.

description: When translational symmetry is broken by bulk disorder, the topological nature of states in topological crystalline systems may change depending on the type of disorder that is applied. In this work, we characterize the phases of a one-dimensional (1D) chain with inversion and chiral symmetries, where every disorder configuration is inversion-symmetric. By using a basis-independent formulation for the inversion topological invariant, chiral winding number, and bulk polarization, we are able to construct phase diagrams for these quantities when disorder is present. We show that unlike the chiral winding number and bulk polarization, the inversion topological invariant can fluctuate when the bulk spectral gap closes at strong disorder. Using the position-space renormalization group, we are able to compare how the inversion topological invariant, chiral winding number and bulk polarization behave at low energies in the strong disorder limit. We show that with inversion symmetry-preserving disorder, the value of the inversion topological invariant is determined by the inversion eigenvalues of the states at the inversion centers, while quantities such as the chiral winding number and the bulk polarization still have contributions from every state throughout the chain. We also show that it is possible to alter the value of the inversion topological invariant in a clean system by occupying additional states at the inversion centers while keeping the bulk polarization fixed. We discuss the implications of our results for topological crystalline phases in higher-dimensional electronic systems, and in ultra-cold atomic systems.

title: Phenology and pollen production in British grasses
Creators: name: Shaikh Ali, Aseel Mahdi
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2018

description: Grasses are abundant in the British Isles, and their pollen contributes significantly to exposure to airborne allergens. This thesis addresses issues relating to the production of pollen, the phenology of pollen production and the changing phenology of selected British grasses. Published pollen dimension data for some common grasses was reviewed and pollen grains were measured and the dimensions found to be comparable. Correlation between anther length and pollen size was significant. Better understanding of the relationship between pollen production and grain size might contribute to estimates of airborne pollen loads. In order to make new estimates of pollen production, a counting approach using automated image-based methods was established. Counts were made per anther for 10 grass species found on the University of Reading Whiteknights Campus, and spikelet and floret counts were used to estimate pollen production per inflorescence for these species. The counts generated here were compared to the ranges of published counts and within-species variation was highlighted. Phenological characteristics of 9 common grass species found on Whiteknights Campus are presented following weekly recordings of phenological stages according to a modified BBCH General Scale at 10 sampling sites throughout spring and summer of 2016. Phenological data indicating the timing of anthesis alongside estimates of abundance of the species and the pollen production data generated for this study were used to make a pollen exposure appraisal. The possible value of these exposure estimates is considered. Increasingly, herbarium specimens are contributing insights into phenological change through time and providing a better understanding of the impact of climate on flowering times. Flowering time data was collected from 898 specimens representing 15 common grasses from the British Isles. A method estimating and applying an adjusted first flowering date was applied, and relationships between climate parameters and these adjusted first flowering dates were sought using a General Linear Model. First Flowering Date was significantly affected in 9 of the study species.

Year: 2021

description: «Басни» (1766) — самое известное в свое время произведение Н.В.Леонтьева (1739—1824), забытого сегодня поэта второй половины XVIII века. В работе показано, что сюжеты пяти басен в этой книге восходят к Эзопу. Источником четырех из них служит книга «Езоповы басни» — русская версия сборника Р.Летранжа (1692), созданная С.С.Волчковым (1747) на основе немецкого перевода-посредника (1714). Еще один сюжет заимствован, по-видимому, из сборника «Эсоповы притчи», несколько раз издававшегося на протяжении Петровской эпохи. В работе не рассматриваются эзоповские сюжеты в версиях Ж.Лафонтена, поскольку их источниками Леонтьеву служат произведения французского баснописца. Показано, что все сюжеты, заимствованные из сборников эзоповских басен, Леонтьев трансформирует. Изменения происходят на всех уровнях: персонажей, сюжета, идеи. В трех баснях: «Неблагодарный заяц», «Лисенок», «Лисица, заяц и волк» — сюжет в целом тот же, что у Эзопа, но персонажи иные; в последней басне меняется даже количество действующих лиц. При этом мораль в баснях «Неблагодарный заяц», и «Лисица, заяц и волк» остается прежней, а в басне «Лисенок» меняется. В двух баснях: «Пчелы» и «Орел и черепаха» — сюжет новый, но в его основу положена исходная ситуация эзоповской басни. Система персонажей при этом сохраняется. Мораль изменена, но в ней чувствуется влияние образца. Из сказанного видно, что эзоповские басни Леонтьев рассматривает не как канонические образцы, требующие точной передачи, а как материал для самостоятельной разработки.

The combinatorial argument further implies that every link with at least 2 twist regions and at least 6 crossings per twist region is hyperbolic and gives a lower bound for the genus of a link.

description: L'étude a pour objet de cerner les relations qui existent entre les politiques d’alphabétisation mises en place au Togo, et la production et la sécurité alimentaires. A partir des techniques de co-intégration, les résultats révèlent l’existence d’une relation d’équilibre de long terme entre l’alphabétisation et la production alimentaire d’une part, et entre l’alphabétisation et la sécurité alimentaires, d’autre part. Les estimations montrent que, si les effets des variables de capital physique sur la production et la disponibilité alimentaires sont pour la plupart négatifs, aussi bien à court terme qu'à long terme, traduisant le faible recours des exploitants agricoles aux techniques modernes de production agricole, le rôle de la variable alphabétisation (capital humain) est mitigé. L'effet de l'alphabétisation apparaît positif à long terme sur la production alimentaire, alors qu'à court terme il s'avère plutôt négatif, ce qui s'expliquerait en partie par l'existence de contraintes à la production agricole. Au niveau de la sécurité alimentaire, l'effet de l'alphabétisation s'est révélé négatif à court et à long terme en raison du faible niveau des investissements et de l'inadéquation du contenu des programmes d'enseignement. Il convient donc d'améliorer la qualité des investissements ainsi que le contenu des programmes d'alphabétisation et de scolarisation. En outre, l'intensification des campagnes de vulgarisation agricole à l'intention des paysans des deux sexes permettrait de mieux mettre en pratique les connaissances théoriques acquises suite à l’alphabétisation.

description: By 2030 Austria aims to meet 100% of its electricity demand from domestic renewable sources, with most of the additional generation coming from wind and solar energy. Apart from the benefit of reducing CO2 emissions and, potentially, system cost, wind power is associated with negative impacts at the local level, such as interference with landscape aesthetics. Some of these impacts might be avoided by using alternative renewable energy technologies. Thus, we quantify the opportunity cost of wind power versus its best feasible alternative solar photovoltaics, using the power system model medea. Our findings suggest that the cost of undisturbed landscapes is considerable, particularly when solar PV is mainly realized on roof-tops. Under a wide range of assumptions, the opportunity cost of wind power is high enough to allow for significant compensation of the ones affected by local, negative wind turbine externalities.

description: The predictive performance screening of novel compounds can significantly promote the discovery of efficient, cheap, and non-toxic thermoelectric materials. Large efforts to implement machine-learning techniques coupled to materials databases are currently being undertaken, but the adopted computational methods can dramatically affect the outcome. With regards to electronic transport and power factor calculations, the most widely adopted and computationally efficient method, is the constant relaxation time approximation (CRT). This work goes beyond the CRT and adopts the proper, full energy and momentum dependencies of electron-phonon and ionized impurity scattering, to compute the electronic transport and perform power factor optimization for a group of half-Heusler alloys. Then the material parameters that determine the optimal power factor based on this more advanced treatment are identified. This enables the development of a set of significantly improved descriptors that can be used in materials screening studies, and which offer deeper insights into the underlying nature of high performance thermoelectric materials. We have identified $n_v$$ε_r$ / $D_o^2m_{cond}$ as the most useful and generic descriptor, a combination of the number of valleys, the dielectric constant, the conductivity effective mass, and the deformation potential for the dominant electron-phonon process. The proposed descriptors can accelerate the discovery of new efficient and environment friendly thermoelectric materials in a much more accurate and reliable manner, and some predictions for very high performance materials are presented.
title: Political promotion as part of chief executive officer's remuneration - an empirical study in China's state-owned enterprises
Creators: name: Zhang, Chao
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: This thesis attempts to investigate the importance of political promotion among the incentives for CEOS working in China's State-owned enterprises (SOEs). Data and benchmark regressions in this thesis show that CEO's monetary payments is not sensitive to firm performance in SOEs. However, there are clear evidences that CEOs have strong incentives to improve firm performance. This observation violates the predictions of traditional CEO remuneration design theory. To account for this difference, this thesis proposes that political promotion matters significantly for CEOs of SOEs. China's SOEs are supervised by the State-owned Asset Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), who has the power to decide political promotion of CEOs. Because political promotion is closely related to firm performance and other criteria set by SASAC (such as the growth rate of asset size), this thesis shows that, CEOs of SOEs have strong incentives to improve firm performance in order to increase the changes to be promoted. This thesis uses two case studies and a survey analysis to test the hypothesis. It concludes that CEOs of SOEs case about political promotion far more than monetary payments
Target mass effects in deep-inelastic scattering on the deuteron

description: We calculate the effects of the target mass on deep-inelastic electron scattering on targets of spin one such as the deuteron, focusing on the novel structure functions that enter. It is important to understand these effects given the recent HERMES measurements of the $b_1(x,Q^2)$ structure function of the deuteron. We also derive the spin-one analogues of the Wandzura-Wilczek relations and discuss possible calculations in lattice QCD.
Quasi-classical determination of the in-plane magnetic field phase diagram of superconducting Sr_2RuO_4

description: We have carried out a determination of the magnetic-field-temperature (H-T) phase diagram for realistic models of the high field superconducting state of tetragonal Sr_2RuO_4 with fields oriented in the basal plane. This is done by a variational solution of the Eilenberger equations.This has been carried for spin-triplet gap functions with a {\bf d}-vector along the c-axis (the chiral p-wave state) and with a {\bf d}-vector that can rotate easily in the basal plane. We find that, using gap functions that arise from a combination of nearest and next nearest neighbor interactions, the upper critical field can be approximately isotropic as the field is rotated in the basal plane. For the chiral {\bf d}-vector, we find that this theory generically predicts an additional phase transition in the vortex state. For a narrow range of parameters, the chiral {\bf d}-vector gives rise to a tetracritical point in the H-T phase diagram. When this tetracritical point exists, the resulting phase diagram closely resembles the experimentally measured phase diagram for which two transitions are only observed in the high field regime. For the freely rotating in-plane {\bf d}-vector, we also find that additional phase transition exists in the vortex phase. However, this phase transition disappears as the in-plane {\bf d}-vector becomes weakly pinned along certain directions in the basal plane.

description: This paper considers private and public institutions that will help promote the competitiveness of commercial farms and agribusiness firms, and enhance the productivity of communal farmers and the competitiveness of emerging farmers in South Africa. Commercial agriculture and agribusiness are creating institutions (such as food safety standards and strategic partnerships), adopting existing private and public institutions (e.g. TQM, ISO 9000 and HACCP) or restructuring to add value to products and services, reduce costs and gain access to export markets. Government should focus its relatively scarce resources on providing physical and legal infrastructure (such as secure property rights and contract enforcement) to reduce transaction costs, including risk, so that markets work efficiently. A major challenge for local agricultural economists is to provide information about institutions that will promote the productive use of land in communal areas, and the competitiveness of emerging farmers on redistributed commercial farmland.

description: We analyze robustness of decoherence-free (DF) subspace in charge qubits when there are a local structure and non-uniformity that violate collective decoherence measurement condition. We solve master equations of up to four charge qubits and a detector as two serially coupled quantum point contacts (QPC) with an island structure. We show that robustness of DF states is strongly affected by local structure as well as by non-uniformities of qubits.

description: Large-scale system development companies are increasingly adopting agile methods. While this adoption may improve lead-times, such companies need to balance two trade-offs: (i) the need to have a uniform, consistent development method on system level with the need for specialised methods for teams in different disciplines(e.g., hardware, software, mechanics, sales, support); (ii) the need for comprehensive documentation on system level with the need to have lightweight documentation enabling iterative and agile work. With specialised methods for teams, isolated teams work within larger ecosystems of plan-driven culture, i.e., teams become agile "islands". At the boundaries, these teams share knowledge which needs to be managed well for a correct system to be developed. While it is useful to support diverse and specialised methods, it is important to understand which islands are repeatedly encountered, the reasons or factors triggering their existence, and how best to handle coordination between them. Based on a multiple case study, this work presents a catalogue of islands and the boundary objects between them. We believe this work will be beneficial to practitioners aiming to understand their ecosystems and researchers addressing communication and coordination challenges in large-scale development.
