description: We report on a significantly improved determination of the physical orbit of the double-lined spectroscopic binary system 12 Boo. We have a 12 Boo interferometry dataset spanning six years with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer, a smaller amount of data from the Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer, and a radial velocity dataset spanning 14 years from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. We have updated the 12 Boo physical orbit model with our expanded interferometric and radial velocity datasets. The revised orbit is in good agreement with previous results, and the physical parameters implied by a combined fit to our visibility and radial velocity data result in precise component masses and luminosities. In particular, the orbital parallax of the system is determined to be 27.74 $\pm$ 0.15 mas, and masses of the two components are determined to be 1.4160 $\pm$ 0.0049 M$_{\sun}$ and 1.3740 $\pm$ 0.0045 M$_{\sun}$, respectively. Based on theoretical models we can estimate a system age of approximately 3.2 Gyr. Comparisons with stellar models suggest that the 12 Boo primary may be just entering the Hertzsprung gap, but that conclusion is highly dependent on details of the models. Such a dynamic evolutionary state makes the 12 Boo system a unique and important test for stellar models.

description: The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is scheduled to be launched to geostationary orbit in 2026. It will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field of view (204 deg$^2$) and NUV (230-290nm) sensitivity (22.5 mag, 5$\sigma$, at 900s). ULTRASAT will conduct the first wide-field survey of transient and variable NUV sources and will revolutionize our ability to study the hot transient universe: It will explore a new parameter space in energy and time-scale (months long light-curves with minutes cadence), with an extra-Galactic volume accessible for the discovery of transient sources that is $>$300 times larger than that of GALEX and comparable to that of LSST. ULTRASAT data will be transmitted to the ground in real-time, and transient alerts will be distributed to the community in $<$15 min, enabling a vigorous ground-based follow-up of ULTRASAT sources. ULTRASAT will also provide an all-sky NUV image to $>$23.5 AB mag, over 10 times deeper than the GALEX map. Two key science goals of ULTRASAT are the study of mergers of binaries involving neutron stars, and supernovae: With a large fraction ($>$50%) of the sky instantaneously accessible, fast (minutes) slewing capability and a field-of-view that covers the error ellipses expected from GW detectors beyond 2025, ULTRASAT will rapidly detect the electromagnetic emission following BNS/NS-BH mergers identified by GW detectors, and will provide continuous NUV light-curves of the events; ULTRASAT will provide early (hour) detection and continuous high (minutes) cadence NUV light curves for hundreds of core-collapse supernovae, including for rarer supernova progenitor types.

description: Social norms support coordination and cooperation in society. With social robots becoming increasingly involved in our society, they also need to follow the social norms of the society. This paper presents a computational framework for learning contexts and the social norms present in a context in an online manner on a robot. The paper utilizes a recent state-of-the-art approach for incremental learning and adapts it for online learning of scenes (contexts). The paper further utilizes Dempster-Schafer theory to model context-specific norms. After learning the scenes (contexts), we use active learning to learn related norms. We test our approach on the Pepper robot by taking it through different scene locations. Our results show that Pepper can learn different scenes and related norms simply by communicating with a human partner in an online manner.

description: Предметом исследования является гражданско-правовая природа договора транспортировки нефти магистральным трубопроводным транспортом. Цель исследования – определить применимое законодательство для данного договора и предложить дефиницию, отражающую его существенные условия и специфику. В ходе исследования были использованы как общенаучные, так и частно-научные методы научного познания: анализ и синтез, формально-логический, формально-юридический, сравнительно-правовой методы.
Неоднозначность оценки условий договора отчасти обусловлена особенностями магистрального трубопровода, который представляет собой одновременно транспортное средство и единый недвижимый комплекс в форме линейного объекта топливно-энергетического комплекса.
Договор транспортировки нефти магистральными трубопроводами не имеет специального правового регулирования. На практике используется типовой договор ПАО «Транснефть», de lege lata являющийся договором смешанного типа, возможность заключения которого закреплена в п. 3 ст. 421 Гражданского кодекса РФ.
description: The subject of the research is the civil nature of the agreement for oil transportation by main pipeline transport. The objectives of the study are to determine the applicable law for this agreement and to propose a definition that reflects its essential conditions and specifics. In the course of the research, both general scientific and specific scientific methods of scientific knowledge are used: analysis and synthesis, formal and logical, formal and legal, and comparative legal.
The ambiguity in assessing the terms of the agreement is partly due to the peculiarities of the main pipeline, which is both a transport vehicle and a single immovable complex in the form of a linear object of the fuel and energy industry.
The oil transportation agreement by main pipelines does not have special legal regulation. The Model Agreement of “Transneft” PJSC is used in real life, which is a mixed type agreement de lege lata. The conclusion of such an agreement is enshrined in paragraph 3 of Article 421 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

description: Titre : L’efficacité des médecines alternatives dans le traitement et dans la prévention de la dépression post-partum. Contexte : Une à deux femmes sur dix va développer une dépression post-partum. Les traitements actuels proposés sont les antidépresseurs et une psychothérapie, ce qui laisse peu de choix à ces femmes. Dans le contexte actuel suisse où la population générale se tourne plus facilement vers des méthodes naturelles, y-a-t-il une alternative aux thérapies conventionnelles ? Objectif : Évaluer l’efficacité des médecines alternatives dans le traitement et la prévention de la dépression post-partum. Méthode : Une recherche documentaire a été effectuée sur CINHAL et PUBMED et a permis de sélectionner 6 articles pertinents pour répondre à l’objectif. Les critères d’inclusion étaient des articles primaires incluant le traitement ou la prévention de la dépression postpartum à l’aide d’une médecine alternative, datant de moins de dix ans et publié en anglais ou en français. Résultats : Les résultats de ce travail mettent en évidence une efficacité significative du traitement et de la prévention de la dépression post-partum à l’aide d’acupuncture, de massages, d’aromathérapie, d'hypnose et de yoga. Conclusion : Les résultats ont pu être interprétés à l’aide de la théorie de la gestion des symptômes. Chaque intervention de médecine alternative étudiée dans ce travail peut être pratiquée par une infirmière, à condition que cette dernière fasse la formation appropriée. De ce fait, les médecines alternatives trouvent ou pourraient trouver leur place dans la prise en charge de la dépression post-partum en Suisse.

description: На основе судебной практики по гражданским и уголовным делам проведен анализ применения судом бланкетных норм современного законодательства в контексте межотраслевого взаимодействия отраслей права. Практика показала наличие систематических ошибок, которые совершаются судьями ввиду отсутствия должного толкования межотраслевых институтов права. Изменения в законодательстве соразмерно влекут изменения в правовом статусе межотраслевых институтов, а в публичном праве данный факт может способствовать декриминализации юридических составов правонарушений или преступлений. Отсутствие учета правоприменителем особенностей действия правовой нормы влечет неправильное применение материального права, что приводит к частым обжалованиям и отменам судебных решений по данным основаниям. Возникающая правовая неопределенность в правоприменительной практике создает возможности для нарушения прав и свобод граждан и юридических лиц.
description: The article presents an analysis of the application by the court of blanket rules of modern legislation in the context of intersectoral interaction of law branches based on judicial practice in civil and criminal cases. Experience has shown the presence of repeated errors that are made by judges due to the lack of proper interpretation of intersectoral institutions of law. Changes in legislation commensurately affect the legal status of intersectoral institutions, while in public law this fact may contribute to the decriminalization of legal elements of offenses or crimes. The lack of consideration by the law enforcement officer of the peculiarities of the action of legal rule entails an incorrect application of substantive rights, which leads to frequent appeals and cancellations of court decisions on these grounds. The resulting legal uncertainty in law enforcement practice creates opportunities for the violation of the rights and freedoms of citizens and legal entities

description: Автором рассматривается изменение смысла, вкладываемого в понятие «патриотизм» в период становления СССР, после смены руководства и прихода И. В. Сталина к власти. В контексте предложенной им концепции «советского патриотизма» поднимается вопрос корректировки изначально предложенного В. И. Лениным партийного подхода к национальному вопросу в СССР.
Для изучения вопроса применяются методологические основания источниковедения и «истории понятий», подразумевающие поиск и разграничение в текстах исторических источников слов и понятий, отражающих происходящие в конкретный промежуток времени изменения в общественном сознании, а также предполагающие исследование логических и ассоциативных взаимосвязей между ними.
Делается вывод о сохранении в Конституции СССР 1936 г. права сецессии исключительно в качестве идеологического стереотипа, в то время как объективно существующий тогда партийный подход к национальному вопросу характеризовался многочисленными ограничениями национальностей в реализации декларируемых ранее прав и введением дополнительных рычагов контроля.
description: The author examines the change of meaning of the term “patriotism” during the formation of the USSR, after the change of authority and I. V. Stalin coming to power. Stalin’s concept of “Soviet patriotism” raises the question of “correcting” the party approach to the national question in the USSR originally proposed by V. I. Lenin.
To study the issue, the author uses the methodological foundations of source studies and the “history of concepts”, which imply the search and differentiation in texts of historical sources of words and concepts that reflect changes in public consciousness occurring in a specific time, as well as the study of logical and associative relationships between these concepts.
It is concluded that the right to secession in the Constitution of the USSR of 1936 was preserved exclusively as an ideological stereotype, while the objectively existing party approach to the national question was characterized by numerous restrictions of nationalities in the implementation of previously declared rights and the imposition of additional limitations.

description: An extensive sensor testing campaign is presented, dedicated to measuring the charge collection properties of prototype candidates for the Vertex Locator (VELO) detector for the upgraded LHCb experiment. The charge collection is measured with sensors exposed to fluences of up to $8 \times 10^{15}~1~\mathrm{\,Me\kern -0.1em V}~ \mathrm{ \,n_{eq}}~{\mathrm{ \,cm}}^{-2}$, as well as with nonirradiated prototypes. The results are discussed, including the influence of different levels of irradiation and bias voltage on the charge collection properties. Charge multiplication is observed on some sensors that were nonuniformly irradiated with 24 GeV protons, to the highest fluence levels. An analysis of the charge collection near the guard ring region is also presented, revealing significant differences between the sensor prototypes. All tested sensor variants succeed in collecting the minimum required charge of 6000 electrons after the exposure to the maximum fluence.

Three candidate-models were attempted for the structure of this class of materials using either a one-phase or a two-phase modeling procedure. Combining modeling the PDF with HRTEM data we show that AgPbmSbTem+2 contains nanoscale inclusions with composition close to AgPb3SbTe5 randomly embedded in a PbTe matrix.

Les infirmières ont besoin d’outils pour aider les adolescents souffrant de dépression ayant déjà fait une tentative de suicide. Objectif : Le but est d’identifier, par une revue de littérature, des interventions infirmières pour guider et soutenir les adolescents souffrant de dépression ayant déjà fait une tentative de suicide. Méthode : La recherche d’articles s’est effectuée sur : CINHAL, PubMED et psyINFO. Des mots-clés et des MeSH Terms correspondants ont été utilisés pour cibler la recherche ainsi que des critères d’inclusion et d’exclusion. Sept articles ont été retenus après analyse critique avec les grilles de Fortin. Résultats : Plusieurs facteurs protecteurs tels que l’estime de soi, le soutien familial, l’écoute et la connexion aux autres sont ressortis. Des facteurs de risque comme des difficultés scolaires ont également pu être identifiés. Le modèle de Nola Pender nous a permis d’axer les interventions infirmières autours de ces facteurs. Discussion : L’identification de ces différents facteurs nous a permis de mettre en avant les points de vigilance et d’axer la prise en soin. Renforcer les facteurs protecteurs, comme l’estime de soi, mais aussi repérer les facteurs de risque pour offrir des ressources nécessaires auprès des adolescents à risque reste prioritaire. Les recommandations portent sur de la prévention, en partie au niveau scolaire, quant aux recherches, sur davantage d’études sur le sujet.

description: Self-organization of neural circuitry is an appealing framework for understanding cortical development, yet its applicability remains unconfirmed. Models for the self-organization of neural circuits have been proposed, but experimentally testable predictions of these models have been less clear. The visual cortex contains a large number of topological point defects, called pinwheels, which are detectable in experiments and therefore in principle well suited for testing predictions of self-organization empirically. Here, we analytically calculate the density of pinwheels predicted by a pattern formation model of visual cortical development. An important factor controlling the density of pinwheels in this model appears to be the presence of non-local long-range interactions, a property which distinguishes cortical circuits from many nonliving systems in which self-organization has been studied. We show that in the limit where the range of these interactions is infinite, the average pinwheel density converges to $π$. Moreover, an average pinwheel density close to this value is robustly selected even for intermediate interaction ranges, a regime arguably covering interaction-ranges in a wide range of different species. In conclusion, our paper provides the first direct theoretical demonstration and analysis of pinwheel density selection in models of cortical self-organization and suggests to quantitatively probe this type of prediction in future high-precision experiments.

description: We introduce a class of stochastic processes based on symmetric $α$-stable processes. These are obtained by taking Markov processes and replacing the time parameter with the modulus of a symmetric $α$-stable process. We call them $α$-time processes. They generalize Brownian time processes studied in \cite{allouba1, allouba2, allouba3}, and they introduce new interesting examples. We establish the connection of $α-$time processes to some higher order PDE's for $α$ rational. We also study the exit problem for $α$-time processes as they exit regular domains and connect them to elliptic PDE's. We also obtain the PDE connection of subordinate killed Brownian motion in bounded domains of regular boundary.

description: We present the result of a search for correlations in the arrival times of high energy muons collected from 1995 till 2000 with the streamer tube system of the complete MACRO detector at the underground Gran Sasso Lab. Large samples of single muons (8.6 million), double muons (0.46 million) and multiple muons with multiplicities from 3 to 6 (0.08 million) were selected. These samples were used to search for time correlations of cosmic ray particles coming from the whole upper hemisphere or from selected space cones. The results of our analyses confirm with high statistics a random arrival time distribution of high energy cosmic rays.

Synthesis and deposition of proteoglycans in fibroproliferative lung disease
Creators: name: Burke, Adrian Kevin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by chronic inflammation leading to progressive deposition of collagenous extracellular matrix. Proteoglycan metabolism may be altered in inflammation and fibrosis. The aim of this study is to characterize changes in proteoglycan synthesis and deposition in the remodeling lung. Lung biopsy tissue from 6 IPF and 6 control patients was studied using histochemistry and immunohistochemistry. Histochemistry revealed dense deposits of glycosaminoglycan in fibroblast foci unique to remodeling lung, which enzyme digestion showed to contain predominantly chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate. Immunohistochemistry showed that glycosaminoglycan deposition was concordant with versican, but not decorin, biglycan or hyaluronan. The distribution of versican, decorin, biglycan and hyaluronan were described in the normal and IPF lung for the first time. Versican in IPF was associated with a-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA)-positive myofibroblasts migrating into airspace and myofibroblasts in fibroblast foci. In control and diseased lung, versican was associated with smooth muscle in blood vessel walls, in airway walls and with α -SMA-positive cells in alveolar entrance rings. 22.6%±4.1% of tissue area in IPF biopsies was versican-positive, compared to 2.6±2.0% of tissue area in control lung (p<0.00001). Decorin was localized intracellularly in the fibroblast foci. Hyaluronan was found throughout the remodeling lung including the fibroblast foci. Morphometry showed higher mononuclear phagocyte densities in versican-rich fibroblast foci in the IPF lung. Mononuclear phagocyte densities were 3.74±1.14 cells/ 10⁴μm² in versican- rich matrix and 1.97±0.54 cells/10⁴μm² in versican-poor matrix (p<0.01). Total nonmononuclear phagocytes leukocyte densities were 5.97±1.05 cells/10⁴μm² in versican-rich matrix and 9.34±1.21 cells/10⁴μm² in versican-poor matrix (p<0.003) in IPF. In a second series of tissue samples, versican was localized to thickened alveolar walls in fibroproliferative adult respiratory distress syndrome and intraluminal buds in bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia, and versican deposition preceded accumulation of collagen. Versican mRNA expression was analyzed in 10IPF biopsies and 5 control lung samples collected prospectively. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction showed a relative increase in the synthesis of the two mRNA splice variants coding for the versican isoforms V₀ and V₁ , in fibrosis. V₀ and V₁ are the largest isoforms, with the highest number of potential glycosaminoglycan-attachment sites. Versican is associated with proliferating, collagen-synthesizing myofibroblasts in early lesions in fibrosis. The function of versican in these processes is still unknown, but our work suggests it may be important in the cell biology of tissue remodeling in the lung.

description: A formal analogy of fluctuating diffusivity to thermodynamics is discussed for messenger RNA molecules fluorescently fused to a protein in living cells. Regarding the average value of the fluctuating diffusivity of such RNA-protein particles as the analog of the internal energy, the analogs of the quantity of heat and work are identified. The Clausius-like inequality is shown to hold for the entropy associated with diffusivity fluctuations, which plays a role analogous to the thermodynamic entropy, and the analog of the quantity of heat. The change of the statistical fluctuation distribution is also examined from a geometric perspective. The present discussions may contribute to a deeper understanding of the fluctuating diffusivity in view of the laws of thermodynamics.

description: The aim of this research is to explore the possible relationship between the religious movement of hesychasm and the development of new artistic trends in Byzantine and Slavic lands during the Palaeologan period (1261-1453). This research also investigates the background currents, circumstances and persons which impelled the outbreak of the hesychast controversy. It further examines the doctrinal views of both hesychasts and humanists and considers the iconographical and stylistic changes in the Christian art of 14th and 15th centuries. Three compositions depicting three major feasts, the Transfiguration, the Anastasis and the Trinity, are selected as case studies to illustrate the transformations of art that occurred during the Palaeologan period. Combined methods of analysis are used in this thesis, including broader sociological and theological methods, with emphasis on several key issues, such as the cultural context, the thematic content, the aesthetic status and the theological role of images within theological discourse. However, formal and iconographical analyses are the principal means for study of the qualities, nature and history of the selected compositions.

description: Recent experiments involving CdTe films grown on Si(111) substrates by hot wall epitaxy revealed features not previously observed [S. O. Ferreira \textit{et al.}, J. Appl. Phys. \textbf{93}, 1195 (2003)]. This system, which follows the Volmer-Weber growth mode with nucleation of isolated 3D islands for less than one monolayer of evaporated material, was described by a peculiar behavior of the quantum dot (QD) size distributions. In this work, we proposed a kinetic deposition model to reproduce these new features. The model, which includes thermally activated diffusion and evaporation of CdTe, qualitatively reproduced the experimental QD size distributions. Moreover, the model predicts a transition from Stranski-Krastanow growth mode at lower temperatures to Volmer-Weber growth mode at higher ones characterized through the QD width distributions.

description: For the repulsive Blume-Emery-Griffiths model the phase diagram in the space of three fields, temperature (T), crystal field ($Δ$), and magnetic field (H), is computed on a complete graph, in the canonical and microcanonical ensembles. For weak strength of the biquadratic interaction (K), there exists a tricritical point in the phase diagram where three critical lines meet. As K decreases below a threshold value(which is ensemble dependent), new multicritical points like the critical end point and bicritical end point arise in the (T,$Δ$) plane. For K>-1, we observe that the two critical lines in the H plane and the multicritical points are different in the two ensembles. At K=-1, the two critical lines in the H plane disappear and as K decreases further, there is no phase transition in the H plane. Exactly at K=-1 the two ensembles become equivalent. Beyond that for all K

description: The agriculture sector in Pakistan faces major challenges, including depleting water resources, lack of technological innovation, low-quality seeds, and input supply, among others. Bringing innovative solutions to the growers and helping them achieve sustainable farming is the only option for coping with the challenges of today’s agriculture sector. This paper focused on introduction of climate smart agriculture in Pakistan with emphasis on engaging youth in agriculture which is increasingly being recognized as a critical component of the sustainable development pathway. Worldwide, there is growing concern that young people have become disenchanted with agriculture. About 85% of the young people live in developing countries, where agriculture is likely to provide the main source of income. It is, therefore, vital that young people are actively engaged in agriculture. Though the returns of engaging today’s youth in raising agricultural production by 60% by 2050 (in terms of food security, employment, poverty reduction, and environmental sustainability) so are the challenges. The main natural resources (land, water, biodiversity, ecosystem, etc.) agriculture is dependent upon have been degraded. Climate change is also threatening the sustainability of the rural landscape and already left its marks already. The role of agriculture and family farming in providing livelihood opportunities for rural youth in coming years is undeniable. However, despite the increasing sophistication of the fields of agriculture, food, and nutrition, they are not viewed as attractive by youth in terms of their career choice. Currently, due to low productivity rates and known difficulties faced by previous generations, agriculture is not seen as a viable career path by the majority of the young people. This problem of an unappealing career in agriculture is somehow the same for all the countries in the world. For example, 10% REDUCTION of farmers in Pakistan. Some of the main macro issues related to abstaining youth from agriculture are small landholdings in developing countries, high level of risk attached to agriculture production and marketing, low returns on the investment, discolored image of professional farming, poor infrastructure, lack of access to credit and land, and low level of mechanization and technological backwardness.

description: Motivated by the lack of rotating solutions sourced by matter in General Relativity as well as in modified gravity theories, we extend a recently discovered exact rotating solution of the minimal Einstein-scalar theory to its counterpart in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity coupled to a Born-Infeld scalar field. This is accomplished with the implementation of a well-developed mapping between solutions of Ricci-Based Palatini theories of gravity and General Relativity. The new solution is parametrized by the scalar charge and the Born-Infeld coupling constant apart from the mass and spin of the compact object. Compared to the spacetime prior to the mapping, we find that the high-energy modifications at the Born-Infeld scale are able to suppress but not remove the curvature divergence of the original naked null singularity. Depending on the sign of the Born-Infeld coupling constant, these modifications may even give rise to an additional timelike singularity exterior to the null one. In spite of that, both of the naked singularities before and after the mapping are capable of casting shadows, and as a consequence of the mapping relation, their shadows turn out to be identical as seen by a distant observer on the equatorial plane. Even though the scalar field induces a certain oblateness to the appearance of the shadow with its left and right endpoints held fixed, the closedness condition for the shadow contour sets a small upper bound on the absolute value of the scalar charge, which leads to observational features of the shadow closely resembling those of a Kerr black hole.

description: We consider properties of semi-classical orthogonal polynomials with respect to the generalised Airy weight \[ω(x;t,λ)=x^λ\exp\left(-\tfrac13x^3+tx\right),\qquad x\in \mathbb{R}^+,\] with parameters $λ>-1$ and $t\in \mathbb{R}$. We also investigate the zeros and recurrence coefficients of the polynomials. The generalised sextic Freud weight \[ω(x;t,λ)=|x|^{2λ+1}\exp\left(-x^6+tx^2\right), \qquad x\in \mathbb{R},\] arises from a symmetrisation of the generalised Airy weight and we study analogous properties of the polynomials orthogonal with respect to this weight.

description: The effect of hadronic rescattering on the elliptic flow has been investigated by the Cooper-Frye hadronization model from hydrodynamic evolution following by the afterburner hadronic rescattering model for 200 GeV/c Au + Au at 20-40% centrality. It is found that the hadronic rescattering can suppress elliptic flow $v_2$ in momentum space especially in lower transverse momentum region. In addition, the hadronic rescattering effects on transverse momentum spectra and anisotropy coordinate space of hadrons are studied.

description: AGRICORE is a research project funded by the European Commission under the RUR-04-2018 call, part of the H2020 programme, which proposes an innovative way to apply agent-based modelling to improve the capacity of policymakers to evaluate the impact of agricultural-related measurements under and outside the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). 

Within the modular architecture of AGRICORE, which is presented in deliverable D6.1 of the Project, the connection of the agent-based simulation module (D6) with a series of external biophysical models (D15) is envisaged.

This connection will allow the incorporation of these models into the optimisation-simulation flow of each agent:- On the one hand, the agro-management decisions taken by the agents can be passed as anargument and simulated in the biophysical model to represent the realisation of an agriculturalcampaign, with each agent receiving back its effective yield and the possible effects on itsagricultural land, among other information.- On the other hand, the biophysical models may be used as experimental models for optimisation,generating a series of alternative technological profiles among which the agents must decidewhich to implement.

To incorporate either of the two functionalities mentioned above, it is necessary to have connectors that allow the exchange of information between the agents and the biophysical models, as well as the launch of the execution of the biophysical models via command line, without the need to use the specific graphical interface of each model. 

This document explains the implementation of such connectors (translators) to allow the interconnection of the AGRICORE tool with the WOFOST, DNDC and STICS biophysical models

description: Global warming is rapidly reducing glaciers and ice sheets across the world. Real time assessment of this reduction is required so as to monitor its global climatic impact. In this paper, we introduce a novel way of estimating the thickness of each internal ice layer using Snow Radar images and Fully Convolutional Networks. The estimated thickness can be used to understand snow accumulation each year. To understand the depth and structure of each internal ice layer, we perform multi-class semantic segmentation on radar images, which hasn't been performed before. As the radar images lack good training labels, we carry out a pre-processing technique to get a clean set of labels. After detecting each ice layer uniquely, we calculate its thickness and compare it with the processed ground truth. This is the first time that each ice layer is detected separately and its thickness calculated through automated techniques. Through this procedure we were able to estimate the ice-layer thicknesses within a Mean Absolute Error of approximately 3.6 pixels. Such a Deep Learning based method can be used with ever-increasing datasets to make accurate assessments for cryospheric studies.

description: Let $F$ be a family of connected bipartite graphs, each with at least three vertices. A proper vertex colouring of a graph $G$ with no bichromatic subgraph in $F$ is $\F$-free. The $F$-free chromatic number $χ(G,F)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colours in an $F$-free colouring of $G$. For appropriate choices of $F$, several well-known types of colourings fit into this framework, including acyclic colourings, star colourings, and distance-2 colourings. This paper studies $F$-free colourings of the cartesian product of graphs. Let $H$ be the cartesian product of the graphs $G_1,G_2,...,G_d$. Our main result establishes an upper bound on the $F$-free chromatic number of $H$ in terms of the maximum $F$-free chromatic number of the $G_i$ and the following number-theoretic concept. A set $S$ of natural numbers is $k$-multiplicative Sidon if $ax=by$ implies $a=b$ and $x=y$ whenever $x,y\in S$ and $1\leq a,b\leq k$. Suppose that $χ(G_i,F)\leq k$ and $S$ is a $k$-multiplicative Sidon set of cardinality $d$. We prove that $χ(H,F) \leq 1+2k\cdot\max S$. We then prove that the maximum density of a $k$-multiplicative Sidon set is $Θ(1/\log k)$. It follows that $χ(H,F) \leq O(dk\log k)$. We illustrate the method with numerous examples, some of which generalise or improve upon existing results in the literature.

description: Some quantum field theories described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are investigated. It is shown that for the case of a free fermion field theory with a $γ_5$ mass term the Hamiltonian is $\cal PT$-symmetric. Depending on the mass parameter this symmetry may be either broken or unbroken. When the $\cal PT$ symmetry is unbroken, the spectrum of the quantum field theory is real. For the $\cal PT$-symmetric version of the massive Thirring model in two-dimensional space-time, which is dual to the $\cal PT$-symmetric scalar Sine-Gordon model, an exact construction of the $\cal C$ operator is given. It is shown that the $\cal PT$-symmetric massive Thirring and Sine-Gordon models are equivalent to the conventional Hermitian massive Thirring and Sine-Gordon models with appropriately shifted masses.
