description: A constraint correlation dynamics up to 4-point Green functions is proposed for SU(N) gauge theories which reduces the N-body quantum field problem to the two-body level. The resulting set of nonlinear coupled equations fulfills all conservation laws including fermion number, linear and angular momenta as well as the total energy. Apart from the conservation laws in the space-time degrees of freedom the Gauss law is conserved as a quantum expectation value identically for all times. The same holds for the Ward identities as generated by commutators of Gauss operators. The constraint dynamical equations are highly non-perturbative and thus applicable also in the strong coupling regime, as e.g. low-energy QCD problems.

description: Missing-data is a problem that occurs frequently in survey data. Missing-data can result in bias and reduced efficiency for regression estimates. The objective of the current study is to analyze the impact of missing-data imputation, using multiple imputation methods, on regression estimates for survey data. The results of the current study show that multiple imputation methods result in lower standard errors for regression estimates than the regression using only complete observations. Multiple imputation methods also resulted in chances in magnitude, sign, and statistical significance for some the regression coefficient estimates. Hence, ignoring the missing-data problem might lead to significant differences in the results for regression analysis and the policy recommendations based on these results. Keywords: Missing-data, Multiple Imputation, Bayesian Inference, Household Surveys.

description: Duplex Stainless Steels (DSS) fabricated from powder metallurgy method finds many applications in offshore, paper, and petrochemical industries. DSS consists of austenite and ferrite in equal volume in microstructure, used in various industries due to combined mechanical and corrosion properties. The need of DSS is increasing every year in the automobile industries. In this paper, two-phase structure steels manufactured through the powder metallurgy route are presented. DSS (A and B) are the two compositions made by pre-alloyed powders (310L & 430L) adding with elemental powders such as chromium, molybdenum, and nickel. The powders were mixed in a pot mill for 12 hours. Sintering of powder preforms was carried out at 1350°C in partial vacuum and hydrogen atmospheres respectively. Sintered compacts subjected to forging operation at 1150ºC and quenched in water. DSS (A and B) steels have exhibited the coefficient of friction of 0.52 to 0.602.

description: Culturally diverse schools may constitute natural arenas for training crucial intercultural skills. We hypothesized that a classroom cultural diversity climate fostering contact and cooperation and multiculturalism, but not a climate fostering color‐evasion, would be positively related to adolescents’ intercultural competence. Adolescents in North Rhine‐Westphalia (N = 631, Mage = 13.69 years, 49% of immigrant background) and Berlin (N = 1,335, Mage = 14.69 years, 52% of immigrant background) in Germany reported their perceptions of the classroom cultural diversity climate and completed quantitative and qualitative measures assessing their intercultural competence. Multilevel structural equation models indicate that contact and cooperation, multiculturalism, and, surprisingly, also color‐evasion (as in emphasizing a common humanity), were positively related to the intercultural competence of immigrant and non‐immigrant background students. We conclude that all three aspects of the classroom climate are uniquely related to aspects of adolescents’ intercultural competence and that none of them may be sufficient on their own.

description: Die Schneebedeckung ist ein entscheidender Parameter für den Energiehaushalt der Erde, da Schneeoberflächen einen großen Teil der einfallenden Globalstrahlung reflektieren. Die Ausprägung der Schneedecke hängt dabei besonders stark von der Temperatur während des Niederschlages und darüber hinaus von der Niederschlagsmenge sowie den Witterungsbedingungen vor und nach einem Schneefallereignis ab. Mit dem Temperaturanstieg über die vergangenen Jahrzehnte wurde global eine Abnahme der Schneebedeckung vor allem in sehr temperatursensitiven Höhenlagen um den Bereich der Schneefallgrenze beobachtet. Signifikante Langfristtrends in der Schneedeckendauer sowie der Schneehöhe sind in den meisten Gebirgen der Welt zu finden, auch wenn diese von einer großen natürlichen Variabilität der Schneebedeckung von Jahr zu Jahr sowie dekadischen Schwankungen überlagert sind. Climate change impacts on snow cover: The snow cover is an important parameter in the energy balance of the Earth, since snow surfaces reflect a large part of the incident global radiation. The state of the snow cover is particularly dependent on the temperature during precipitation events, but also on the amount of precipitation and the prevailing weather conditions before and after a snowfall. As a consequence of rising temperatures over the past decades, a decrease in snow cover has been observed worldwide, especially at very temperature-sensitive altitudes around the snow line. Significant long-term trends in snow cover duration and snow depth can be found in most mountain regions of the world. These trends are overlaid by a high natural year-to-year and decadal variability.

description: A canonical transformation is performed on the phase space of a number of homogeneous cosmologies to simplify the form of the scalar (or, Hamiltonian) constraint. Using the new canonical coordinates, it is then easy to obtain explicit expressions of Dirac observables, i.e.\ phase space functions which commute weakly with the constraint. This, in turn, enables us to carry out a general quantization program to completion. We are also able to address the issue of time through ``deparametrization'' and discuss physical questions such as the fate of initial singularities in the quantum theory. We find that they persist in the quantum theory {\it inspite of the fact that the evolution is implemented by a 1-parameter family of unitary transformations}. Finally, certain of these models admit conditional symmetries which are explicit already prior to the canonical transformation. These can be used to pass to quantum theory following an independent avenue. The two quantum theories --based, respectively, on Dirac observables in the new canonical variables and conditional symmetries in the original ADM variables-- are compared and shown to be equivalent.

description: Most of the democratic government systems in the world today take one of the following forms: presidential, parliamentary, or a combination of presidential and parliamentary (a “combined system”).’ The presidential and parliamentary forms of government have undergone reform as a tide of democratization has risen in the world. Some states have tried to keep the merits and avoid the defects of the presidential and parliamentary systems by forming new combined systems. As the People’s Republic of China pursues economic and social reform, it is worth considering the political changes that will inevitably follow. This Comment outlines, in only the broadest terms, the advantages and disadvantages of these various systems of democratic government. The Comment discusses the advantages of the combined system of government for China and will propose some necessary requirements for such a system in China. It is hoped that the general discussion that follows provides some ideas for, and initiates a dialogue on, the best course of political reform for China.

China’s Major Reform in Criminal Law
Creators: name: DingJian, Cai
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 1997

description: On March 14, 1997, the Fifth Session of the Eighth National People’s Congress approved the Reform Bill on Criminal Law, which will produce significant changes to criminal law in China. China’s existing criminal law statute was formulated in 1979 shortly after the Cultural Revolution. It was one of the first of seven groups of laws formulated. Triggered by the lessons learned from the Cultural Revolution, this series of statutory drafting reflected the importance China attributed to the rule of law at that time. A country with a history of a weak legal system, China had little experience in dealing with legal theories. Therefore, the resulting statute focused largely on principles and was comprised of definitions that were unduly formalistic as well as containing many loopholes. In 1982, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress began its research on the reform of criminal law, which continued for fifteen years. During this period, the National People’s Congress adopted 22 ordinances and decisions that amended or supplemented the criminal statute. In addition, it adopted 130 articles regarding criminal liabilities in context of civil, economic, and administrative law. The Reform Bill on Criminal Law was formulated out of the accumulated experiences from the enactment of criminal laws over the past 17 years, the research conducted on criminal laws of various foreign countries, and the studies made on modem criminal legislation and developmental trends.

description: The advances in information technology have had a profound impact
 on emergency management by making unprecedented volumes of data available to
 the decision makers. This has resulted in new challenges related to the effective
 management of large volumes of data. In this regard, the role of machine learn-
 ing in mass emergency and humanitarian crises is constantly evolving and gaining
 traction. As a branch of artificial intelligence, machine learning technologies have
 the out-standing advantages of self-learning, self-organization, and self-adaptation,
 along with simpleness, generality and robustness. Although these technologies do
 not perfectly solve issues in emergency management, and have been showed to can
 greatly improve the capability and effectiveness of emergency management. The
 purpose of this chapter is to discuss a hybrid crowdsourcing and real-time ma-
 chine learning approaches to rapidly process large volumes of data for emergency
 response in a time-sensitive manner.We review the application of machine learning
 techniques to support the decision-making processes for the emergency or crisis
 management and discuss their challenges. Additionally, we discuss the challenges
 and opportunities of the machine learning approaches and intelligent data analy-
 sis to distinct phases of emergency management. Based on the literature review,
 we observe a trend to move from narrow in scope, problem-specific applications
 of data mining and machine learning to solutions that address a wider spectrum
 of problems, such as situational awareness and real-time threat assessment using
 diverse streams of data. In particular, this chapter also focuses on crowdsourcing
 approaches with machine learning to achieve better understanding and decision
 support during a disaster, and we discusses the issues on the approaches in terms
 of data analysis. Several examples of the tweet related to emergency are discussed
 to more deeply contemplate the issues.
The Colonial Roots of Criminal Procedure in the Philippines
Creators: name: Rossabi, Amy
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 1997

description: Centuries of colonial rule profoundly influenced Filipino social, political, and legal institutions. Filipino law, in particular, evolved as a synthesis of indigenous, Spanish (Roman), and American common laws, each building on its forerunner to create a system unique to the Philippines. As a succession of alien powers colonized the Philippines, they preserved some of the existing laws, altering only those in conflict with their own and adding a few to encompass new commercial, political, or religious conditions. When the Spanish established a colonial government in 1565, they initially permitted the native inhabitants to continue with many of their indigenous customs instead of imposing their own traditions derived from the Roman legal code. As they became more entrenched, however, the Spanish attempted to subvert many of the customary laws. American officials, who displaced the Spanish in 1898, generally adopted the same policy by incorporating certain features of Roman law while simultaneously tolerating some of the remaining native legal traditions. The Americans thus drew on much of the existing substantive law but also found that the Spanish had failed to introduce laws of procedure to the archipelago. Moreover, the few procedural measures that the Spanish brought with them appeared to be inconsistent with American concepts of justice. Within two years of their arrival, U.S. colonial officials issued General Orders No. 58, which instituted a code of criminal procedure that was more consonant With American legal ideals. The code of criminal procedure the American colonials introduced in 1900, remains virtually unchanged in 1997 and governs present-day criminal procedure in the Philippines. Thus procedural reforms of the colonial past had a tremendous impact on the current Filipino legal system.

description: The in‐depth understanding of charge carrier photogeneration and recombination mechanisms in organic solar cells is still an ongoing effort. In donor:acceptor (bulk) heterojunction organic solar cells, charge photogeneration and recombination are inter‐related via the kinetics of charge transfer states—being singlet or triplet states. Although high‐charge‐photogeneration quantum yields are achieved in many donor:acceptor systems, only very few systems show significantly reduced bimolecular recombination relative to the rate of free carrier encounters, in low‐mobility systems. This is a serious limitation for the industrialization of organic solar cells, in particular when aiming at thick active layers. Herein, a meta‐analysis of the device performance of numerous bulk heterojunction organic solar cells is presented for which field‐dependent photogeneration, charge carrier mobility, and fill factor are determined. Herein, a “spin‐related factor” that is dependent on the ratio of back electron transfer of the triplet charge transfer (CT) states to the decay rate of the singlet CT states is introduced. It is shown that this factor links the recombination reduction factor to charge‐generation efficiency. As a consequence, it is only in the systems with very efficient charge generation and very fast CT dissociation that free carrier recombination is strongly suppressed, regardless of the spin‐related factor.

description: As the transportation sector’s environmental impact continues to rise, the sustainable integration of emerging transportation technologies—autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, and autonomous electric vehicles—into urban and regional environments has become increasingly critical for researchers and urban planners. While the near-term interactions of these technologies with other urban systems have become increasingly more well-studied, the long-term interactions of AVs and EVs remain uncertain. From an environmental impact perspective, the long-term interactions of AVs and EVs with, for example, the built environment could have long-lasting environmental outcomes that either usher society toward or away from a more sustainable transportation system.This dissertation investigated the long-term sustainability of emerging transportation technologies by emphasizing the interactions they have with their built environment. Using supervised machine learning, the research demonstrated the increasing role of the built environment on EV adoption and highlighted the evolving relationship that exists between transportation and the built environment. Given this insight, the research then employed an agent-based simulation to explore how incremental AV adoption could influence residential preferences and a co-evolving housing market in Miami, Florida. The findings indicated that AVs could increase urban sprawl and travel distances, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions, but the ultimate impact depended on land use planning in the city. By switching AVs for AEVs, the net transportation emissions decreased thanks to electrification. However, the shifting residential preferences also affect building energy consumption and, when the land use policy promoted single-family housing, emission reductions from AEVs were negated by 14%. Thus, the research makes a case for taking proactive measures concerning the greater urban or regional infrastructure systems to guide emerging transportation technologies along more desirable adoption pathways.

description: In this paper we use an ab-initio quantum transport approach to study the electron current flowing through lithiated SnO anodes for potential applications in Li-ion batteries. By investigating a set of lithiated structures with varying lithium concentrations, it is revealed that LixSnO can be a good conductor, with values comparable to bulk $β$-Sn and Li. A deeper insight into the current distribution indicates that electrons preferably follow specific trajectories, which offer superior conducting properties than others. These channels have been identified and it is shown here how they can enhance or deteriorate the current flow in lithiated anode materials.

description: Neutrino decay in the minimal seesaw model containing three right handed neutrinos and a complex $SU(2)\times U(1)$ singlet Higgs in addition to the standard model fields is considered. A global horizontal symmetry $U(1)_H$ is imposed, which on spontaneous breaking gives rise to a Goldstone boson. This symmetry is chosen in a way that makes a) the contribution of heavy ($\leq$ MeV) majorana neutrinos to the neutrinoless double beta decay amplitude vanish and b) allows the heavy neutrino to decay to a lighter neutrino and the Goldstone boson. It is shown that this decay can occur at a rate much faster than in the original Majoron model even if one does not introduce any additional Higgs fields as is done in the literature. Possibility of describing the 17 keV neutrino in this minimal seesaw model is investigated. While most of the cosmological and astrophysical constraints on the 17 keV neutrino can be satisfied in this model, the laboratory limits coming from the neutrino oscillations cannot be easily met. An extension which removes this inadequacy and offers a consistent description of the 17 keV neutrino is discussed.

description: Gewässer im Hochgebirge gelten als Extremlebensräume. Die chemische Zusammensetzung des Wassers wird in erster Linie von der Geologie und der chemischen Zusammensetzung der atmosphärischen Niederschläge bestimmt. Ein sich änderndes Klima, das sich in höheren Temperaturen, sich ändernden Niederschlagsmustern, höheren Verdunstungsraten und neuartigen atmosphärischen Mustern manifestiert, wird die Wasserverfügbarkeit und den regionalen Wasserhaushalt verändern. Dies wird auch die Rolle von Schnee und Eis im Wasserhaushalt erheblich beeinflussen. Hochgebirgsgewässer eignen sich gut für die Untersuchung global wirksamer Prozesse, da sie über der Waldgrenze liegen, meist keinem direkten menschlichen Eingriff ausgesetzt sind, eine geringe Biodiversität und relativ einfache Nahrungsnetze aufweisen, und auf Veränderungen im Einzugsgebiet sowie in der Atmosphäre äußerst empfindlich reagieren. Sie stellen ein Frühwarnsystem für Umweltveränderungen dar. Changes in high-mountain water bodies: High-mountain water bodies are considered extreme habitats. The chemical composition of water is primarily determined by the geology and chemical composition of atmospheric precipitation. A changing climate which manifests itself in higher temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, higher evaporation rates, and new atmospheric patterns will change the water availability and the regional water balance. This will also significantly change the role of snow and ice in the water balance. High-mountain water bodies are well suited for the study of processes with a global impact because they are above the forest line, not exposed to direct human intervention, and have low biodiversity and relatively simple food webs. They are known to be extremely sensitive to changes in the catchment area and in the atmosphere. Mountain water bodies represent an early warning system for environmental changes.

description: Today's perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are limited mainly by their open‐circuit voltage (VOC) due to nonradiative recombination. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the relevant recombination pathways is needed. Here, intensity‐dependent measurements of the quasi‐Fermi level splitting (QFLS) and of the VOC on the very same devices, including pin‐type PSCs with efficiencies above 20%, are performed. It is found that the QFLS in the perovskite lies significantly below its radiative limit for all intensities but also that the VOC is generally lower than the QFLS, violating one main assumption of the Shockley‐Queisser theory. This has far‐reaching implications for the applicability of some well‐established techniques, which use the VOC as a measure of the carrier densities in the absorber. By performing drift‐diffusion simulations, the intensity dependence of the QFLS, the QFLS‐VOC offset and the ideality factor are consistently explained by trap‐assisted recombination and energetic misalignment at the interfaces. Additionally, it is found that the saturation of the VOC at high intensities is caused by insufficient contact selectivity while heating effects are of minor importance. It is concluded that the analysis of the VOC does not provide reliable conclusions of the recombination pathways and that the knowledge of the QFLS‐VOC relation is of great importance.

description: The Vlasov-Nordheim equation is solved numerically on a lattice for nuclear matter in two dimensions. We discuss the reliability of the model at normal density and then study the response of the system to small perturbations. We find deterministic chaos inside the spinodal zone where fragment formation occurs. We discuss in detail the dynamical features of this phenomenon in order to clarify the mechanisms leading to nuclear disassembly in heavy--ion collisions.

description: Two-dimensional states in confined thin films of the three-dimensional Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 are probed by transport and capacitance measurements under applied magnetic and electric fields. The results establish the two-dimensional Dirac electronic spectrum of these states. We observe signatures of p-type conduction in the two-dimensional states as the Fermi level is tuned across their charge neutrality point and the presence of a zero energy Landau level, all of which indicate topologically non-trivial states. The resistance at the charge neutrality point is approximately h/e2 and increases rapidly under the application of a magnetic field. The results open many possibilities for gate-tunable topological devices and for the exploration of novel physics in the zero energy Landau level.

description: This paper presents the first experimental sputtering yields for sulphur ions with energies between 10 keV and 140 keV irradiating water ice films on a microbalance. The measured sputtering yields exceed theoretical predictions based on other ion species by a factor of 2 to 3 for most energies. Moreover, the sputtering yield of SF+ molecules is compared to the yield of atomic species S+ and F+. As found for atomic versus molecular oxygen, the sputtering yield caused by molecules is two times higher than expected. Finally, the implications of the enhanced sulphur sputtering yield for Europa's atmosphere are discussed.

China’s Company Law: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back–A Modest Complaint
Creators: name: Howson, Nicholas C.

description: The 15th National Party Congress of the Communist Party of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China) opened on September 12, 1997 with a much heralded call by Secretary General Jiang Zemin to intensify reformation of the state-owned sector. Jiang provided critical ideological authorization of the selling down of the State’s interest in China’s state-owned enterprises by equating “state ownership” with “public ownership” and then “ownership by the public,” declaring: Public ownership can and should take diversified forms… even if the state-owned sector accounts for a smaller proportion of the economy, this Will not affect the Socialist nature of the economy. The key vehicle for this newly invigorated reform, and in fact the process of restructuring that has been underway for several years, is China’s basic corporate statute, only three years old. The promulgation of the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “Company Law”) in late 1993 was met with a chorus of praise in the official Chinese press and abroad. However, the immediate reaction among the more reform-oriented members of China’s securities regulatory authorities, the nascent Chinese securities bar, and foreign bankers, lawyers and accountants intimately involved with the PRC’s first securities offerings in Hong Kong and New York, was less sanguine. In many cases, the Company Law was privately termed a “disaster,” a keen expression of conservative compromises or the wholesale avoidance of difficult issues implicit in China’s transition from state ownership and the mandated allocation of capital to a “socialist market economy.” Some PRC professionals and regulators even expressed the opinion that China’s developing body of corporate law and securities markets would have been better off without the new legislation, and with continued reliance on the then-existing patchwork of laws, regulations, notices, opinions and standards which provided the legal basis for China’s earliest corporate reorganizations and public issuances of stock in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hong Kong and New York.

Victim in Chinese Criminal Theory and Practice: A Historical Survey
Creators: name: Peerenboom, R. P.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 1997

description: In recent years the legal world has rediscovered a lost party in the criminal process: the victim. In response to an increasingly powerful victims’ rights movement, politicians and judges alike have shown renewed concern for the interests and needs of the long-suffering object of crime. In 1965, California became the first state to pass legislation providing compensation to crime victims. The vast majority of states have since adopted similar statutes. In addition, over 2000 government and private organizations, including the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA), presently offer assistance to victims. In 1981, President Reagan demonstrated conviction to the cause by declaring the week of April 19th “National Victims’ Rights Week,” an annual practice imitated by numerous state governors? Further testimony to the mass appeal of the victims movement lies in the avalanche of victim-oriented legislation, including the Omnibus Victim and Witness Protection Act of 1982. The impact of the movement has even reached the Supreme Court.

Nonfactorizable Amplitudes in Weak Nonleptonic Decays of Heavy Mesons

description: We discuss nonfactorizable $1/N_c$ contributions in the amplitudes of non-leptonic exclusive decays of the type $B\rightarrow Dπ$ ($N_c$ is the number of colors). In a certain kinematical limit rather reliable estimates are possible. It is demonstrated that the nonfactorizable parts are of the same order as the factorizable $1/N_c$ parts of the ampiltudes, and have the opposite sign. Thus, an approximate rule of discarding $1/N_c$ corrections in the nonleptonic exclusive decays emerges dynamically. It is shown that this rule is not exact and the degree of compensation is different in different channels. Our predictions make use of the fact that a key matrix element that measures deviations from factorization can be determined using the heavy quark effective theory.

description: We present interferometric observations of HI in nine slow rotator early-type galaxies of the Atlas3D sample. With these data, we now have sensitive HI searches in 34 of the 36 slow rotators. The aggregate detection rate is 32\% $\pm$ 8\%, consistent with previous work; however, we find two detections with extremely high HI masses, whose gas kinematics are substantially different from what was previously known about HI in slow rotators. These two cases (NGC 1222 and NGC 4191) broaden the known diversity of HI properties in slow rotators. NGC 1222 is a merger remnant with prolate-like rotation and, if it is indeed prolate in shape, an equatorial gas disc; NGC 4191 has two counterrotating stellar discs and an unusually large HI disc. We comment on the implications of this disc for the formation of $2σ$ galaxies. In general, the HI detection rate, the incidence of relaxed HI discs, and the HI/stellar mass ratios of slow rotators are indistinguishable from those of fast rotators. These broad similarities suggest that the HI we are detecting now is unrelated to the galaxies' formation processes and was often acquired after their stars were mostly in place. We also discuss the HI nondetections; some of these galaxies that are undetected in HI or CO are detected in other tracers (e.g. FIR fine structure lines and dust). The question of whether there is cold gas in massive galaxies' scoured nuclear cores still needs work. Finally, we discuss an unusual isolated HI cloud with a surprisingly faint (undetected) optical counterpart.

description: Endometrial cancer encompasses a diverse range of tumors originating from the uterine lining, with distinct histological and genetic characteristics. Genetically, key alterations in genes like PTEN, PIK3CA, KRAS, and microsatellite instability contribute to endometrial cancer development. Analysis of the mutational landscape of endometrial cancer identified mutations in the tumor suppressor gene Cyld. Cyld codes for a deubiquitinating enzyme (CYLD) that plays an important role in regulating growth, survival and differentiation signaling pathways. This study focuses on the functional characterization of 11 missense Cyld mutations identified in endometrial tumors. Our study identified one Cyld mutation (Q713H) that compromises significantly CYLD’s ability to suppress cancer cell growth and TRAF2-dependent NF-kB activation. Two other mutations (F715C and A871D) compromised also TRAF2-dependent NF-kB activation but did not differ significantly from wild type CYLD in its the ability to suppress tumor cell growth. These findings indicate that although the ability of CYLD to suppress NF-kB activation may be necessary it is not sufficient for its tumor suppressing properties. Furthermore, our findings have the potential to be exploited for prognostic purposes.
