description: Graph classification, which aims to identify the category labels of graphs, plays a significant role in drug classification, toxicity detection, protein analysis etc. However, the limitation of scale in the benchmark datasets makes it easy for graph classification models to fall into over-fitting and undergeneralization. To improve this, we introduce data augmentation on graphs (i.e. graph augmentation) and present four methods:random mapping, vertex-similarity mapping, motif-random mapping and motif-similarity mapping, to generate more weakly labeled data for small-scale benchmark datasets via heuristic transformation of graph structures. Furthermore, we propose a generic model evolution framework, named M-Evolve, which combines graph augmentation, data filtration and model retraining to optimize pre-trained graph classifiers. Experiments on six benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework helps existing graph classification models alleviate over-fitting and undergeneralization in the training on small-scale benchmark datasets, which successfully yields an average improvement of 3 - 13% accuracy on graph classification tasks.

description: The strength of light-matter interaction is of central importance in photonics and optoelectronics. For many widely studied two-dimensional semiconductors, such as MoS2, the optical absorption due to exciton resonances increases with thickness. However, here we will show, few-layer black phosphorus exhibits an opposite trend. We determine the optical conductivity of few-layer black phosphorus with thickness down to bilayer by infrared spectroscopy. On the contrary to our expectations, the frequency-integrated exciton absorption is found to be enhanced in thinner samples. Moreover, the continuum absorption near the band edge is almost a constant, independent of the thickness. We will show such scenario is related to the quanta of the universal optical conductivity of graphene, with a prefactor originating from the band anisotropy.

description: Production and processing of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in line with the European food safety and labelling regulations lead to an elevated risk of unintentional GMO contamination in food producing and processing companies. For these companies GMO contamination can lead to extensive losses such as decreased product value, recall expenses or decreased brand equity. The question that occurs in many food producing and processing companies is how to manage the risk of GMO contamination most effectively. The objective of this paper is to show how food companies manage the risk of GMO contamination. Because of the complexity of the German food sector the analysis focuses on one supply chain namely: the production, processing and trading of maize and maize products. Within this supply chain an assessment of potential losses and safety measures was conducted in a two-step analysis. At first personal interviews with executives or quality managers of companies along the whole supply chain were carried out. Then the results of these interviews were analyzed and used to create the framework for a second session of formalized online interviews within companies of the maize chain. The results of the survey in maize producing, processing and trading, companies show the risk of potential losses that can occur in case of GMO contamination. Additionally the results show the safety measures that can effectively reduce the risk of GMO contamination.
Analogue Hawking Radiation from Astrophysical Black Hole Accretion

description: We show that spherical accretion onto astrophysical black holes can be considered as a natural example of analogue system. We provide, for the first time, an exact analytical scheme for calculating the analogue Hawking temperature and surface gravity for general relativistic accretion onto astrophysical black holes. Our calculation may bridge the gap between the theory of transonic astrophysical accretion and the theory of analogue Hawking radiation. We show that the domination of the analogue Hawking temperature over the actual Hawking temperature may be a real astrophysical phenomena. We also discuss the possibilities of the emergence of analogue white holes around astrophysical black holes. Our calculation is general enough to accommodate accreting black holes with any mass.

description: Studies of energy flow in quantum systems complement the information provided by common conductance measurements. The quantum limit of heat flow in one dimensional (1D) ballistic modes was predicted, and experimentally demonstrated, to have a universal value for bosons, fermions, and fractionally charged anyons. A fraction of this value is expected in non-abelian states. Nevertheless, open questions about energy relaxation along the propagation length in 1D modes remain. Here, we introduce a novel experimental setup that measures the energy relaxation in chiral 1D modes of the quantum Hall effect (QHE). Edge modes, emanating from a heated reservoir, are partitioned by a quantum point contact (QPC) located at their path. The resulting noise allows a determination of the 'effective temperature' at the location of the QPC. We found energy relaxation in all the tested QHE states, being integers or fractional. However, the relaxation was found to be mild in particle-like states, and prominent in hole-conjugate states.
Mechanics of Topologically Interlocked Material Systems under Point Load: Archimedean and Laves Tiling

description: Topologically interlocked material systems are two-dimensional assemblies of unit elements from which no element can be removed from the assembly without disassembly of the entire system. Consequently, such tile assemblies are able to carry transverse mechanical loads. Archimedean and Laves tilings are investigated as templates for the material system architecture. It is demonstrated under point loads that the architecture significantly affects the force-deflection response. Stiffness, load carrying capacity and toughness varied by a factor of at least three from the system with the poorest performance to the system with the best performance. Across all architectures stiffness, strength and toughness are found to be strongly and linearly correlated. Architecture characterizing parameters and their relationship to the mechanical behavior are investigated. It is shown that the measure of the smallest tile area in an assembly provides the best predictor of mechanical behavior. With small tiles present in the assembly the contact force network structure is well developed and the internal load path is channeled through these stiffest components of the assembly.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis describes a study to review the standards for derivation of characteristic values of wood products and examines the equivalence issues amongst various testing procedures and methods for assigning stress graded lumber to various stress class systems. The study is based on reviews of international standards for wood products including the ISO standards (draft ISO CD 8872, ISO DIS 13910), Australia and New Zealand standard (AS/NZS 4603), European codes (EN 338, EN 384) and North American in-grade based procedures (ASTM series) and Canadian standard CSA 086-01. The study examines the property relationships adopted in the various stress class systems and provides adjustment models for comparing strength and stiffness test data derived according to North American in-grade based procedures, European, and Australian/New Zealand test methods. This work supports efforts directed to establishing an international protocol for establishing equivalencies among the various full-size timber testing procedures and methods for assigning stress grades to strength class systems.

This leads to a representation-theoretic construction of the cluster algebra structure on the ring $\C[N]$ of polynomial functions on a maximal unipotent subgroup $N$ of a complex Lie group of type $Δ$. As an application we obtain that all cluster monomials of $\C[N]$ belong to the dual semicanonical basis.

description: The propagation of failures and blackouts in electric networks is a complex problem. Typical models, such as the ORNL-PSerc-Alaska (OPA), are based on a combination of fast and a slow dynamics. The first describes the cascading failures while the second the grid evolution though line and generation upgrades as well as demand growth, all taking place in time scales from days to years. The growing integration of renewable energy sources, whose power fluctuates in time scales from seconds to hours, together with the increase in demand, which also present fast fluctuations, require the incorporation of distributed methods of control in the demand side to avoid the high cost of ordinary control in conventional power plants. In this work, we extend the OPA model to include fluctuations in the demand at time scales of the order of minutes, intraday demand variations and the effect of demand control. We find that demand control effectively reduces the number of blackouts without increasing the probability of large-scale events.

description: The outcomes of the evolution in the area of informatics, sensory science, data processing or non conventional technologies started to be transferred and successfully used in the field of the agro-industrial equipments and applications. The new generation of water filtering equipments is among them and the importance of the self-cleaning filtering battery is obvious. The system has to answer both to the requirements of industrial users as well as private users. A lot of work was done to improve the existing solutions with a new model which accomplishes the needs of the small users. The work is focused on this sector in the view of designing a modularized solution with a simple geometry which is able to incorporate the back-flushing valve, the filter and all the associate pipelines. Simultaneous these modules have to be easily connected for materializing the filtering batteries with two, three or more filters. The study presented in this paper is conducted in order to solve the problem of a part included in a hydraulic system – a self-cleaning filtering battery prototype. Further research has to be done in order to provide reliable information for long run strategies.

description: We determine universal critical exponents that describe the continuous phase transitions in different dimensions of space. We use continued functions without any external unknown parameters to obtain analytic continuation for the recently derived 7- loop $ε$ expansion from $O(n)$-symmetric $ϕ^4$ field theory. Employing a new blended continued function, we obtain critical exponent $α=-0.0121(22)$ for the phase transition of superfluid helium which matches closely with the most accurate experimental value. This result addresses the long-standing discrepancy between the theoretical predictions and precise experimental result of $O(2)$ $ϕ^4$ model known as "$λ$-point specific heat experimental anomaly". Further we have also examined the applicability of such continued functions in other examples of field theories.

description: The EU agricultural policy has recently been characterized by radical changes that increase market volatilities. Especially in the dairy market, fluctuating prices as well as production and political risks lead to high uncertainty for farmers. Based on a comprehensive survey, this paper discusses the risk perception and risk management strategies of dairy farmers in selected European countries. This approach allows a more detailed analysis of the determinants of farmers’ risk perceptions and risk management. First, based on the literature, a comprehensive framework was developed for the determinants of farmers’ risk perceptions and risk management. This framework guided an empirical study in 2007 in which 236 German dairy farmers were interviewed using a standardized questionnaire. Subsequently, parallel surveys have been conducted in the Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland and France using case studies and expert interviews on dairy farmers’ risk management. The findings provide in-depth insights into the determinants of risk perception and risk management on dairy farms and the way risk management is integrated into the strategic management of those farms. The most important risks that dairy farmers currently perceive are various market risks followed by policy and production risks. Results show that future-oriented dairy farmers operate in a risk-conscious but not risk-averse way and selectively apply risk management strategies.

description: Farmers’ markets have always been the usual way of buying and selling rural products in the Western world. With the advent of supermarkets, farmers’ markets rapidly disappeared in many nations. However, in countries such as France and Italy, which place a high priority on food origin and regional specialisation, some farmers’ markets continued to exist, partly due to their mechanisms to identify and promote locally grown foods. The consumer’s desire to re-establish a bond with local food products, local growers and producers, together with the growing concern for food freshness and healthiness have been key drivers for the renaissance of farmers’ markets occurred in the latest years in many European countries and in the United States. Several studies, conducted across Europe and in the U.S., have shown rising consumers’ consideration of farmers’ markets as important sources of household food shopping and increasing attention of farmers to this sale channel, in a period in which their share of the “food dollar” is continuing to decrease. The objectives of this paper are to contribute to extend understanding of the main features of the European and United States farmers’ markets and raise critical questions about their potential development in the modern food system.

description: Response functions in nuclear matter at finite temperature are considered beyond the usual Hartree-Fock (HF) plus Random Phase Approximation (RPA) scheme. The contributions due to the propagator for the dressed nucleons and the corresponding vertex corrections are treated in a consistent way. For that purpose a semi-realistic Hamiltonian is developed with parameters adjusted to reproduce the nucleon self-energy as derived from realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions. For a scalar residual interaction the resulting response functions are very close to the RPA response functions. However, the collective modes, if present, get an additional width due to the coupling to multi-pair configurations. For isospin dependent residual interactions we find strong modifications of isospin response functions due to multi-pair contributions in the response function. Such a modification can lead to the disappearance of collective spin or isospin modes in a correlated system and shall have an effect on the absorption rate of neutrinos in nuclear matter.

description: In this study, we investigated the gate voltage dependence of $T_{\mathrm c}$ in electrochemically etched FeSe films with an electric-double layer transistor structure. The $T_{\mathrm c}^{\mathrm {zero}}$ value of the etched FeSe films with a lower gate voltage ($V_{\mathrm g}$ = 2.5 and 3.3 V) reaches 46 K, which is the highest value among almost all reported values from the resistivity measurements except for the data by Ge et al. This enhanced $T_{\mathrm c}$ remains unchanged even after the discharge process, unlike the results for electrostatic doping without an etching process. Our results suggest that the origin of the increase in $T_{\mathrm c}$ is not electrostatic doping but rather the electrochemical reaction at the surface of an etched films.

description: Providing a performance measure of any firm is a crucial issue, not only for the stakeholders of the firm, but also for policy makers, labor unions, and economists. The relevant performance measures should consider the objectives of the firm’s owners. The ownership structure of cooperatives is different from that of investors owned firms, which in principle implies the need of different tools to measure their performance. Typically, however, the performance of cooperatives and investor owned firm is mostly compared using the same approach. In this study, we use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to compare the performance of dairy cooperatives and investor owned firms in major European dairy producing countries using a traditional approach, which views both types of firms as cost minimizers, and an alternative approach, which considers the objectives of the cooperatives. In the alternatives approach, two hyperbolic models were evaluated, one of them consider the firms to expand both output production and use of material to address the objective of the owners of the cooperatives. The performance of the cooperatives changes across the two approaches form being out performed by IOFs using the traditional approach to outperforming IOFs when using an approach that is in line with the objective of the cooperative.

Type species. Guenentophorus globularis Buchholz, 1869, by original monotypy.
Remarks. Illg (1958), Illg & Dudley (1965) and Gotto (1993) all attributed this genus to Buchholz (1869). The original use of the name by Costa (1840) was a nomen nudum, as pointed out by numerous authors. Illg & Dudley (1965) examined the convoluted nomenclatural history of this genus and its type species, and we follow them in an attempt to maintain stability of usage.

description: A forward model is described in which we synthesize spectra from an ab-initio 3D MHD simulation of an outer stellar atmosphere, where the coronal heating is based on braiding of magnetic flux due to photospheric footpoint motions. We discuss the validity of assumptions such as ionization equilibrium and investigate the applicability of diagnostics like the differential emission measure inversion. We find that the general appearance of the synthesized corona is similar to the solar corona and that, on a statistical basis, integral quantities such as average Doppler shifts or differential emission measures are reproduced remarkably well. The persistent redshifts in the transition region, which have puzzled theorists since their discovery, are explained by this model as caused by the flows induced by the heating through braiding of magnetic flux. While the model corona is only slowly evolving in intensity, as is observed, the amount of structure and variability in Doppler shift is very large. This emphasizes the need for fast coronal spectroscopy, as the dynamical response of the corona to the heating process manifests itself in a comparably slow evolving coronal intensity but rapid changes in Doppler shift.

description: The relation between the moment at which a recall of Dutch custard is initiated and the direct costs of this recall was investigated. A simulation model of the custard supply chain was developed to compare scenarios with and without a quarantine of 48 h at the storage of the production plant. The model consists of three parts; first the distribution of a 24,000 L batch of custard over the supply chain over time is simulated, second the time to detect spoilage bacteria with a recontamination test procedure is simulated, third the direct recall costs of custard over the different parts of the supply chain are calculated. Direct recall costs increase from about €25,000 per batch to €36,171 from 57 to 135 h in the situation without quarantine and from €25,000 to €36,648 from 123 h to 163 h for the situation with quarantine. Then costs decrease, because more and more custard is at the consumer level and only 0.13% of the consumers will ask for a refund. With low true contamination probabilities quarantine is not profitable, but at later detection moments with high probabilities it is. We conclude that a simulation model is a helpful tool to evaluate the efficiency of risk management strategies, like end-product testing and a quarantine situation.

description: The hog production model in Catalonia (Spain) has been, until recently, an example of success. Inventories and production have been increasing substantially and the sector has proven to have great export potential. Also, the Catalonian hog model has allowed the survival of crops and fruits’ small farms, through diversification with pork. Part of this success is based on the organizational system of the value chain or, as we call, “governance instruments” of the value chain. These “governance instruments” are, on one hand, contract relationships between agribusiness firms (specially, in feed sector) and farms and, on the other, a Marketing Board to fix pig prices (Mercolleida). However, recently, there have been some tensions in hog production model in Catalonia. The tensions are related with the tradeoff between requirements of international competitiveness and the implementation of new regulations in the sector. Specifically, new environmental regulation entails a great challenge to the resilience of the pork value chain in Catalonia.

description: We determine the nonperturbative anisotropic parameter of the gauge action in the quenched approximation with less than 1% accuracy using the Sommer scale measured by the Lüscher-Weisz algorithm or smearing technique. We also study the nonperturbative O(a)-improvement of the quark action. The bare quark anisotropy is determined using the masses from the temporal and spatial directions. For the determination of the $O(a)$ improvement coefficients, we apply the Schrödinger functional method.

description: The concept of super line graph was introduced in the year 1995 by Bagga, Beineke and Varma. Given a graph with at least $r$ edges, the super line graph of index $r$, $L_r(G)$, has as its vertices the sets of $r$ edges of $G$, with two adjacent if there is an edge in one set adjacent to an edge in the other set. The line completion number $lc(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least positive integer $r$ for which $L_r(G)$ is a complete graph. In this paper, we find the line completion number of grid graph $P_n \times P_m$ for various cases of $n$ and $m$.

description: The Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture attempted to lower distortions in the global agricultural markets. However, the significant fall in commodity prices in late 1990s may have reduced the incentives for both developed and developing countries to better integrate into the world markets. This study analyzes price linkages and adjustment between developed and developing countries during the post-Uruguay Round period. Prices of two key commodity markets, long-grain rice and medium-hard wheat, are assembled for major exporters and producers. Results from the multivariate cointegration analysis suggest partial market integration between developed and developing countries in the post-Uruguay Round period. Developed countries are found to be price leaders in these two markets, and in most cases, the changes in their prices have relatively large impacts on those of the developing countries. The new entrants into world markets (Vietnam and Argentina) have faced considerable price adjustment due to changes in the developed countries' prices.
Ward-Schwinger-Dyson equations in $ϕ^3_6$ Quantum Field Theory

description: We develop a system of equations for the propagators and three point functions of the $ϕ^3$ quantum field theory in six dimensions. Inspired from a refinement by Ward on the Schwinger--Dyson equations, the main characteristics of this system are to be formulated purely in terms of renormalized quantities and to give solutions satisfying renormalisation group equations. These properties were difficult to get together, due to the overlapping divergences in the propagator. The renormalisation group equations are an integral part of any efficient resolution scheme of this system and will be instrumental in the study of the resurgent properties of the solutions. It is our belief that this method can be generalized to the case of gauge fields, shedding some light on their quantum properties.

Dynamical aspects for scalar fields coupled to cubic contractions of the Riemann tensor
Creators: name: Marciu, Mihai
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper studies a new type of dark energy, a scalar field with positive or negative kinetic energy, generically coupled to a term which is composed by specific contractions of the Riemann tensor. After presenting the resulting field equations, we have analyzed the physical characteristics of the corresponding model by implementing the linear stability theory. In the case of an exponential coupling function and exponential potential energy we have deduced the phase space characteristics, analyzing the critical points obtained which can represent specific eras in the evolution of the Universe. The analytical study is showing that this model can represent a feasible cosmological setup, having various epochs which correspond to stiff-fluid, matter domination, and dark energy eras, pointing towards the emergence of the accelerated expansion as a geometrical effect.
Can Radiogenic Heat Sources Inside the Earth be located by their Antineutrino incoming Directions?

description: Antineutrinos born in the U and Th decay chains inside the Earth (``Geoneutrinos'') carry out information on the amount and distribution of radiogenic heat sources, which is of fundamental importance for geophysics. Models of the Earth distribute U and Th masses mainly between the continental crust and the lower mantle. It has been much discussed recently that a number of detectors stationed at appropriate geographical sites can separate the crust and mantle contributions. In present work we analyze directional separation of antineutrino signals arriving from the crust and the lower mantle with only one detector. We find that with a ~30-kton liquid scintillation antineutrino spectrometer using $\bar{ν_e}+p \to n + e^{+}$ detection reaction and positron and neutron coordinates reconstruction techniques the U and Th distribution model can roughly be tested. We also consider detector calibration using ~1 MCi commercially available Sr90-Y90 beta source which emits antineutrinos (Emax = 2.28 MeV) in the geoneutrino energy range.

description: Indian agriculture is diversifying during the last two decades towards High-Value Commodities (HVCs) i.e., fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, and fish products. The pace has been accelerated during the decade of 1990s. HVCs account for a large share in the total value of agricultural production. Supply and demand side factors coupled with infrastructural development and innovative institutions drive these changes. In this paper, the focus is on diversification towards HVCs in the context of urbanization. Group of urban districts (districts with >1.5 million urban population) have a higher share of HVCs compared to the urban-surrounded (near urban districts) and other districts (districts in the hinterland). Among the HVCs, vegetables and meat products have a higher share in urban districts compared to the other two groups. Milk production is more widespread due to excellent network of co-operatives and infrastructure facilities. Using GIS (geographic Information System) approach it was found that urban-surrounded districts with better road network connection to urban centers have been able to diversify towards HVCs to meet the demand in the urban centers. Model results further confirm these findings. Thus, urbanization is a strong demand side driver promoting HVCs. Since urban population is growing at more than 3% per annum, demand for HVCs will drive their production. The analysis has also brought out regional variations in HVCs across different districts in the country that has implications on regional development and planning, and consequently on public and private sector investment strategies.
