description: Soil and weather data were used to analyse spatio-temporal yield patterns of winter cereals (wheat) and spring dicots (sunflower and coriander) in an 11-ha field in Northern Italy (44.5° N, 12.2° E), during 2010–2014. Three yield stability classes (YSCs) were established over multiple years, based on spatio-temporal characteristics across the field: high yielding and stable (HYS), low yielding and stable (LYS), and unstable. The HYS class (46% of field area) staged a 122% relative yield with low temporal variability. The unstable class (24% of field area) was slightly more productive (83% relative yield) than the LYS class (30% of field area, and 80% relative yield), but less consistent over time. Crop yields evidenced negative correlations with sand content; positive correlations with silt and clay content. Soil properties were quite consistently classified among YSCs: the LYS and unstable classes were associated with higher sand content and lower cation exchange capacity, suggesting that these characteristics lead to fluctuation and depression of final yield. Establishing YSCs based on spatio-temporal yield appears a sound approach to appraise field potential. It results in strategic and tactical decisions to be taken, depending on the profile of spatial and temporal productivity in different field areas.

description: In general the multiplicity one theorem fails for Fourier-Jacobi models over finite fields. In this paper we prove that there is an upper bound for the multiplicities of Fourier-Jacobi models which is independent of $q$. As a consequence, we prove a conjecture of Hiss and Schröer.

description: An endophytic fungus producing camptothecin (CPT) was isolated from the leaf of Nothapodytes nimmoniana (Sri Lanka), and culture conditions were optimised to enhance the yield of CPT. The TLC, HPLC-PDA, LC-MS/MS and spectroscopic data were used to identify and quantify CPT. Solvent extraction (chloroform: methanol 4:1 v/v) of submerged cultures in Sabouraud Dextrose Broth (SDB) detected CPT in the mycelial extract but not in the culture broth. The fungus was (KX212080) closely related to Diaporthe guangxiensis (MK335772) with 99% sequence similarity, thus tentatively identified as Diaporthe sp. F18. A significantly high CPT content (72.0 ± 0.2 µg/g) was produced in SDB, pH, 5.6 incubated at 30 °C under shake flask condition (150 rpm) for 14 days. Tryptophan significantly (p > 0.05) enhanced CPT production while ethanol increased it by 8-fold. This endophytic source produced higher CPT content than what has been reported hitherto in the literature, with fairly stable production up to sixth subculture generations.

description: The creation of quality and performant bioinformatics software is a growing need as the field of data-driven omics continues to rapidly grow and expand. A proposed response to this challenge is the creation of a software accelerator program that supports the development, optimisation and sharing of software for bioinformatics, by providing the authors with expertise, best practice guidelines, and access to HPC and cloud facilities. This idea arises from the existing Australian BioCommons Leadership Share (ABLeS) program, by providing environments on peak compute systems to test, scale, debug and enhance bioinformatics software (tools and workflows) in lock step with support and expertise in making software findable, understandable and citable (i.e. FAIR). The ultimate vision is to accelerate the transition towards a culture of best practice bioinformatics at scale on peak infrastructures. In this BoF we will collectively discuss and shape this proposed program, by exploring what the RSE community considers to be critical, and how we might share the outcomes of this effort across infrastructure partners in the region and beyond. These observations are broadly applicable to all domains, and we invite people of diverse domain backgrounds to the BoF. This concept is being actively pursued as a collaborative effort by the Australian BioCommons, Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, New Zealand eScience Infrastructure and the National Computational Infrastructure.

description: The present study has tentatively elucidated the structure of two acylated polyoxypregnane glycosides from Caralluma quadrangula (Forssk.) N.E.Br. (CQ). The analyses were performed using an electrospray-ionization quadrupole time-of-flight (ESI-Q-TOF) mass spectrometer in positive ionization modes to explore fragmentation pathways. The used ionization mode provided consistent and/or complementary information for most of the pregnane glycosides, their fragmentation sequences, and their aglycones. Presumably, this is due to higher efficiency, sensitivity, and better selectivity of the mass spectrometry-based method. The present experimental and theoretical report deals with the characteristic fragmentation behaviors of two acylated polyoxypregnane glycosides CQ1 and CQ2 from the aerial parts of C. quadrangular. A DFT Study was performed to elucidate the position of ikemoyl, and benzoyl residues in compounds CQ1 and CQ2, respectively.

description: It is known that if the special automorphism group $\text{SAut}(X)$ of a quasiaffine variety $X$ of dimension at least $2$ acts transitively on $X$, then this action is infinitely transitive. In this paper we address the question whether this is the only possibility for the automorphism group $\text{Aut}(X)$ to act infinitely transitively on $X$. We show that this is the case provided $X$ admits a nontrivial $\mathbb{G}_a$- or $\mathbb{G}_m$-action. Moreover, 2-transitivity of the automorphism group implies infinite transitivity.

description: Extensive research in the field of monocular SLAM for the past fifteen years has yielded workable systems that found their way into various applications in robotics and augmented reality. Although filter-based monocular SLAM systems were common at some time, the more efficient keyframe-based solutions are becoming the de facto methodology for building a monocular SLAM system. The objective of this paper is threefold: first, the paper serves as a guideline for people seeking to design their own monocular SLAM according to specific environmental constraints. Second, it presents a survey that covers the various keyframe-based monocular SLAM systems in the literature, detailing the components of their implementation, and critically assessing the specific strategies made in each proposed solution. Third, the paper provides insight into the direction of future research in this field, to address the major limitations still facing monocular SLAM; namely, in the issues of illumination changes, initialization, highly dynamic motion, poorly textured scenes, repetitive textures, map maintenance, and failure recovery.

description: Growing homelessness in Aotearoa New Zealand stems primarily from rising inequalities and poverty. Drawing from scholarship on relational ethics, principled practice and Māori cultural concepts, this paper offers our reflections on nearly two decades of collective work to document and address homelessness. Central to the approach outlined are enduring community partnerships, the cultivation of reciprocal relations, and time spent with homeless people and those trying to work with them. We present exemplars for how we draw on everyday interactions with homeless people and agency staff to enhance local service and broader systemic responses to homelessness.

description: Essential oils (EOs) of Eugenia dysenterica fruits from seven populations were assessed using GC/MS and chemometric analysis. Variations in EOs between populations and three operational chemical units (OCUs), combined with foliar Mn2+ as an environmental variable, indicate that 86.8% of variation in oils was explained by these predictors. Variance partitioning shows that the largest pure contribution was attributed to foliar Mn2+ (13.1%), followed by OCU (11.4%). Populational origin contributed with lowest variance (6.6%).

description: We investigate the motion of a test scalar particle coupling to the Chern-Simons (CS) invariant in the background of a stationary axisymmetric black hole in the Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion (EMDA) gravity. Comparing with the case of a Kerr black hole, we observe that the presence of the dilation parameter makes the CS invariant more complex, and changes the range of the coupling parameter and the spin parameter where the chaotic motion appears for the scalar particle. Moreover, we find that the coupling parameter together with the spin parameter also affects the range of the dilation parameter where the chaos occurs. We also probe the effects of the dilation parameter on the chaotic strength of the chaotic orbits for the coupled particle. Our results indicate that the coupling between the CS invariant and the scalar particle yields the richer dynamical behavior of the particle in the rotating EMDA black hole spacetime.

description: Abstract

Aims: Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) often show a complex 3D anatomy that must be well understood to assess the pathophysiological consequences and to guide therapy. Three-dimensional imaging technologies have the potential to enhance the physician's comprehension of such spatially complex anatomies. Unfortunately, due to the new introduction in clinical practice, there is no evidence on the current applications. We conducted a survey to examine how 3D technologies are currently used among CHD European centres.

Methods: Data were collected using an online self-administered survey via SurveyMonkey. The questionnaire was sent via e-mail and the responses were collected between January and June 2022.

Results: Ninety-eight centres correctly completed the survey. Of these, 22 regularly perform 3D rotational angiography, 43 have the availability to print in-silico models, and 22 have the possibility to visualize holographic imaging/virtual reality. The costs were mostly covered by the hospital or the department of financial resources.

Conclusion: From our survey, it emerges that these technologies are quite spread across Europe, despite not being part of a routine practice. In addition, there are still not enough data supporting the improvement of clinical management for CHD patients. For this reason, further studies are needed to develop clinical recommendations for the use of 3D imaging technologies in medical practice.

description: In polar semiconductors and oxides, the long-range nature of the electron-phonon (\textit{e}-ph) interaction is a bottleneck to compute charge transport from first principles. Here, we develop an efficient ab initio scheme to compute and converge the \textit{e}-ph relaxation times (RTs) and electron mobility in polar materials. We apply our approach to GaAs, where using the Boltzmann equation with state-dependent RTs, we compute mobilities in excellent agreement with experiment at 250$-$500~K. The $e$-ph RTs and the phonon contributions to intravalley and intervalley $e$-ph scattering are also analyzed. Our work enables efficient ab initio computations of transport and carrier dynamics in polar materials.

description: A facile new synthetic method for the preparation of a Type-A 1-arylnaphthalene lactone skeleton was developed and used to synthesise justicidin B and several derivatives. Key synthesis steps included Hauser–Kraus annulation of a phthalide intermediate and Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling between a triflated naphthalene lactone intermediate and various potassium organotrifluoroborates. With two exceptions, the derivatives showed significant inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in mouse macrophages. Moreover, several compounds, including justicidin B, had marked cytotoxicity towards six human tumour cell lines.

The structure of the new compound was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The compounds were examined for Urease Inhibitory Activity. Compounds 1 and 2 showed moderate activities (IC50 values (μM) of 42.3 ± 0.19 and 45.2 ± 0.55, respectively), while compounds 3 and 4 were potent inhibitors of the Jack bean urease (IC50 values (μM) of 20.3 ± 0.37and 27.6 ± 0.52, respectively), when compared to the standard inhibitor (thiourea- IC50 21.5 ± 0.47). The isolation of all the compounds from C. zenkeri and the urease activity of compounds 1 and 2 are reported for the first time.
The Curvature-Augmented Closest Point Method with Vesicle Inextensibility Application

description: The Closest Point method, initially developed by Ruuth and Merriman, allows for the numerical solution of surface partial differential equations without the need for a parameterization of the surface itself. Surface quantities are embedded into the surrounding domain by assigning each value at a given spatial location to the corresponding value at the closest point on the surface. This embedding allows for surface derivatives to be replaced by their Cartesian counterparts (e.g. $\nabla_s = \nabla$). This equivalence is only valid on the surface, and thus, interpolation is used to enforce what is known as the side condition away from the surface. To improve upon the method, this work derives an operator embedding that incorporates curvature information, making it valid in a neighborhood of the surface. With this, direct enforcement of the side condition is no longer needed. Comparisons in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathbb{R}^3$ show that the resulting Curvature-Augmented Closest Point method has better accuracy and requires less memory, through increased matrix sparsity, than the Closest Point method, while maintaining similar matrix condition numbers. To demonstrate the utility of the method in a physical application, simulations of inextensible, bi-lipid vesicles evolving toward equilibrium shapes are also included.

description: The hydro-distillation essential oil was obtained from the leaf, stem, and flower of Blumea paniculata (Willd.) M.R.Almeida (Asteraceae) and analysed using gas chromatography equipped with a flame ionisation detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Fifty-eight, sixty-nine and, fifty-seven constituents were identified from leaf oil (LO), stem oil (SO) and flower oil (FO), representing 95.8%, 96.3% and 95.1% of the total oil constituents, respectively. The major constituents were identified as germacrene D (39.6–48.1%), α-humulene (4.9–8.9%), β-caryophyllene (4.8–7.7%), and α-cadinol (2.9–6.8%) from different parts of the plant B. paniculata. The oils were found to be rich in sesquiterpenoid-type constituents.

description: In this study, we report a facile transformation starting from 5α-hydroxyergosta-7,22-dien-3,6-dione (1) to afford two novel compounds: 6-methoxyergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one (2) and 6-ethoxyergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one (3) using alcoholic acid catalysis. Their structures were elucidated using NMR experiments, FT-IR, MS and X-ray analysis. These compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity using the disk and broth diffusion test. In those tests, compound 3 was found to be the most significant antibacterial agent. In general, compounds 1-3 showed inhibition zone in the range of 7.00–12.3 mm for S. aureus and S. mutans, meanwhile for Gram-negative bacteria E. coli and Pseudomonas sp. was found to be in the range of 7.00–8.00 mm. For the most active, compound 3, MIC was significantly lower than that reported for ergosterol, in a value of 160 µg/mL. Overall, these compounds were more active than their natural precursor.

description: In the context of AdS/CFT we provide analytical support for the proposed duality between a Wilson loop with a cusp, the cusp anomalous dimension, and the meson model constructed from a rotating open string with high angular momentum. This duality was previously studied using numerical tools in [1]. Our result implies that the minimum of the profile function of the minimal area surface dual to the Wilson loop, is related to the inverse of the bulk penetration of the dual string that hangs from the quark--anti-quark pair (meson) in the gauge theory.

description: We study the extension of the Chambolle--Pock primal-dual algorithm to nonsmooth optimization problems involving nonlinear operators between function spaces. Local convergence is shown under technical conditions including metric regularity of the corresponding primal-dual optimality conditions. We also show convergence for a Nesterov-type accelerated variant provided one part of the functional is strongly convex. We show the applicability of the accelerated algorithm to examples of inverse problems with $L^1$- and $L^\infty$-fitting terms as well as of state-constrained optimal control problems, where convergence can be guaranteed after introducing an (arbitrary small, still nonsmooth) Moreau--Yosida regularization. This is verified in numerical examples.

description: In this paper, the evolution of exoplanet orbits at the late stages of stellar evolution is studied by the method of population synthesis. The evolution of stars is traced from the Main Sequence stage to the white dwarf stage. The MESA package is used to calculate evolutionary tracks. The statistics of absorbed, ejected, and surviving planets by the time of the transformation of parent stars into white dwarfs are calculated taking into account the change in the rate of star formation in the Galaxy over the entire time of its existence. Planets around stars in the range of initial masses 1-8 $M_\odot$ are considered since less massive stars do not have time to leave the Main Sequence during the lifetime of the Galaxy, and more massive ones do not lead to the formation of white dwarfs. It is shown that with the initial $a$~--~$M_\mathrm{pl}$ distribution of planets adopted in this work, most (about 60\%) of the planets born from stars in the mass range under study are absorbed by their parent stars at the giant stage. A small fraction of the planets (less than one percent) are ejected from their systems because of the mass loss due to the stellar wind. The estimated number of ejected planets with masses ranging from 0.04 Earth masses to 13 Jupiter masses in the Milky way is approximately equal to 300 million.

General Data Protection Law
LGPD

description: The objective of establishing the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD) was to introduce regulations for organizations regarding the collection, transmission, and storage of individuals' personal data. However, understanding the LGPD poses a significant challenge for requirements analysts, particularly in extracting and operationalizing privacy requirements. This study proposes to assess and enhance an existing checklist known as LGPD-Check, which serves as a method for evaluating software systems' compliance with the quality attributes specified by the LGPD. The assessment checklist consists of different attributes distributed among several evaluation categories, including data transparency, data subject's consent, data subject's rights, data security, and controller's responsibility. To evaluate the checklist's effectiveness, it was applied within a government office, examining various web applications, followed by a survey involving eight IT professionals. Preliminary findings indicate that the current version of the checklist facilitates the identification of issues related to software systems' compliance with the LGPD. However, as the evaluation was limited to a single office, the findings lack generalizability. Therefore, replication studies are necessary to determine whether these outcomes hold true across diverse organizations and solutions.

Weyl fermions with arbitrary monopole in magnetic fields: Landau levels, longitudinal magnetotransport, and density-wave ordering

description: We theoretically address the effects of strong magnetic fields in three-dimensional Weyl semimetals (WSMs) built out of Weyl nodes with a monopole charge $n$. For $n=1$, $2$, and $3$ we realize single, double, and triple WSM, respectively, and the monopole charge $n$ determines the integer topological invariant of the WSM. Within the linearized continuum description, the quasiparticle spectrum is then composed of Landau levels (LLs), containing exactly $n$ number of chiral zeroth Landau levels (ZLLs), irrespective of the orientation of the magnetic field. In the presence of strong backscattering, for example, (due to quenched disorder associated with random impurities), these systems generically give rise to longitudinal magnetotransport. Restricting ourselves to the quantum limit (and assuming only the subspace of the ZLLs to be partially filled) and mainly accounting for Gaussian impurities, we show that the longitudinal magnetoconductivity (LMC) in all members of the Weyl family displays a positive linear-$B$ scaling, when the field is applied along the axis that separates the Weyl nodes. But, in double and triple WSM, LMC displays a smooth crossover to a nonlinear $B$-dependence as the field is tilted away from such a high-symmetry direction. In addition, due to the enhanced density of states, the LL quantization can trigger instabilities toward the formation of translational symmetry breaking density-wave orderings for sufficiently weak interaction (BCS instability), which gaps out the ZLLs. Concomitantly as the temperature (magnetic field) is gradually decreased (increased) the LMC becomes negative. Thus WSMs with arbitrary monopole charge ($n$) can host an intriguing interplay of LL quantization, longitudinal magnetotransport (a possible manifestation of one-dimensional chiral or axial anomaly), and density-wave ordering, when placed in a strong magnetic field.

title: Detecting Tax Avoidance: Evidence from Quantitative and Linguistic Cues
Creators: name: Wang, Yicheng
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: In this thesis, I examine tax avoidance detection by the use of quantitative and linguistic cues. This thesis provides a battery of approaches to detect tax avoidance, which contribute new tax avoidance means to the approaches already extant in the literature. All the approaches are based on the most used public disclosure of firms, the 10-Ks in the United States. I structure this thesis with three free-standing but theme-related papers. In the first paper, I focus on the quantitative cues to detect tax avoidance by exploring conforming tax avoidance. Omitting conforming tax avoidance would result in an incomplete picture of the extent to which firms avoid tax. Given the importance of Badertscher et al.’s (2019) attempt to develop the only existing measure of conforming tax avoidance, it is vitally important to tax authorities and policy analysts that their approach provides rigorous and consistent results. Therefore, I present two major issues with their approach, which I analyse in some detail and provide solutions to. I apply the refined measure to two scenarios where the prior findings might be incorrect because of the lack of conforming tax avoidance measures. Exploring the quantitative cues of tax avoidance could be inadequate, complex, and inefficient as financial measures are one-dimensional, misspecified, and/or not widely available. Taking 10-Ks as a repository of firms’ narratives and treating accounting as a compound of philosophy and mathematics, I expect to see more linguistic cues of tax avoidance in 10-Ks. However, this kind of research is very limited in prior literature. Thus, in the second and third papers, I use textual analysis to detect tax avoidance in 10-Ks. In the second paper, I focus on one specific section, Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) in 10-Ks. I use the existing well-established dictionaries to detect tax avoidance. I find that tax avoidance is significantly associated with the tone change of the MD&A section. In the third paper, I construct a tax-related dictionary to measure a firm’s ability to engage in tax avoidance. I apply the dictionary in the entire 10-Ks and find a significantly positive relation between the raw counts of words in this dictionary and the level of tax avoidance. Both papers provide incremental linguistic cues beyond traditional accounting variables to reveal and predict tax avoidance. The findings in all three papers together provide a set of multi-dimensional approaches for researchers, investors, and tax authorities to detect tax avoidance in 10-Ks in a more comprehensive, informative, and efficient way.

description: Rising but fluctuating oxygen levels in the early Paleozoic provide an environmental context for the radiation of early metazoans, but little is known about how mechanistically early animals satisfied their oxygen requirements. Here we propose that the countercurrent gaseous exchange, a highly efficient respiratory mechanism, was effective in the gills of the Late Ordovician trilobite Triarthrus eatoni. In order to test this, we use computational fluid dynamics to simulate water flow around its gills and show that water velocity decreased distinctly in front of and between the swollen ends, which first encountered the oxygen-charged water, and slowed continuously at the mid-central region, forming a buffer zone with a slight increasement of the water volume. In T. eatoni respiratory surface area was maximized by extending filament height and gill shaft length. In comparison to the oxygen capacity of modern fish and crustaceans, a relatively low weight-specific area in T. eatoni may indicate its low oxygen uptake, possibly related to a less active life mode. Exceptionally preserved respiratory structures in the Cambrian deuterostome Haikouella are also consistent with a model of countercurrent gaseous exchange, exemplifying the wide adoption of this strategy among early animals.

description: Για την αντιμετώπιση της πανδημίας covid-19, υιοθετήθηκαν κάποια μέτρα σε εθνικό και ενωσιακό επίπεδο. Τα μέτρα αυτά περιόρισαν σε σημαντικό βαθμό θεμελιώδη ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα στο βωμό της προστασίας της δημόσιας υγείας. Ένα από τα μέτρα ήταν και η καθιέρωση του ψηφιακού πιστοποιητικού covid-19, με απώτερο σκοπό την διευκόλυνση της ελεύθερης κυκλοφορίας. Το ψηφιακό πιστοποιητικό covid-19 περιλαμβάνει πληροφορίες για την κατάσταση του κατόχου του, αναφορικά με τον εμβολιασμό, την εξέταση ή την ανάρρωση του, τα οποία τυγχάνουν επεξεργασίας, ήτοι δεδομένα που σχετίζονται με την υγεία.

description: To deal with the covid-19 pandemic, some measures have been adopted at national and EU level. These measures have significantly reduced fundamental human rights at the altar of public health protection. One of the measures was the introduction of the covid-19 digital certificate, with the ultimate goal of facilitating free movement. The covid-19 digital certificate contains information about the holder's condition regarding vaccination, examination or recovery, which is being processed, that is health-related data. This dissertation examines from a legal point of view the protection of personal data the measures adopted during the covid-19 pandemic, focuses on the legal framework for the establishment of these digital certificates and examines whether the GPA guarantees for data protection have been applied personal processing
