description: Using a model of the environment, reinforcement learning agents can plan their future moves and achieve superhuman performance in board games like Chess, Shogi, and Go, while remaining relatively sample-efficient. As demonstrated by the MuZero Algorithm, the environment model can even be learned dynamically, generalizing the agent to many more tasks while at the same time achieving state-of-the-art performance. Notably, MuZero uses internal state representations derived from real environment states for its predictions. In this paper, we bind the model's predicted internal state representation to the environment state via two additional terms: a reconstruction model loss and a simpler consistency loss, both of which work independently and unsupervised, acting as constraints to stabilize the learning process. Our experiments show that this new integration of reconstruction model loss and simpler consistency loss provide a significant performance increase in OpenAI Gym environments. Our modifications also enable self-supervised pretraining for MuZero, so the algorithm can learn about environment dynamics before a goal is made available.

description: [abridged] Using stacked Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectra, we present the detection of [OII]3727,3730 nebular emission from galaxies hosting CaII and MgII absorption line systems. Both samples of absorbers, 345 CaII systems and 3461 MgII systems, span the redshift interval 0.4 < z < 1.3; all of the former and half the latter sample are expected to be bona-fide damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) absorbers. The measured star formation rate (SFR) per absorber from light falling within the SDSS fibre apertures (corresponding to physical radii of 6-9 h^-1 kpc) is 0.11-0.14 Msol/yr for the MgII-selected DLAs and 0.11-0.48 Msol/yr for the CaII absorbers. These results represent the first estimates of the average SFR in an absorption-selected galaxy population from the direct detection of nebular emission. Adopting the currently favoured model in which DLAs are large, with radii >9h^-1 kpc, and assuming no attenuation by dust, leads to the conclusion that the SFR per unit area of MgII-selected DLAs falls an order of magnitude below the predictions of the Schmidt law, which relates the SFR to the HI column density at z~0. The contribution of both DLA and CaII absorbers to the total observed star formation rate density in the redshift range 0.4 < z < 1.3, is small, <10% and <3% respectively. The result contrasts with the conclusions of Hopkins et al. that DLA absorbers can account for the majority of the total observed SFR density in the same redshift range. Our results effectively rule out a picture in which DLA absorbers are the sites in which a large fraction of the total SFR density at redshifts z < 1 occurs.

Η σωματική δραστηριότητα των μαθητών με νοητική αναπηρία αξιολογήθηκε με τη χρήση βηματόμετρου για πέντε συνεχόμενες ημέρες. Από τα αποτελέσματα βρέθηκε ότι η επίδραση της δομής διαβίωσης και του βαθμού νοητικής αναπηρίας στη σωματική δραστηριότητα των συμμετεχόντων δεν ήταν στατιστικά σημαντική. Ωστόσο, βρέθηκε ότι οι συμμετέχοντες που διέμεναν σε δομές κλειστής διαβίωσης πραγματοποιούσαν καθημερινά μεγαλύτερο αριθμό βημάτων συγκριτικά με εκείνους που διέμεναν με την οικογένειά τους. Στατιστικά σημαντική ήταν η επίδραση της δομής διαβίωσης στην ενεργειακή δαπάνη και τη δαπάνη λιπιδίων καθώς οι συμμετέχοντες που διέμεναν σε δομές κλειστής διαβίωσης είχαν υψηλότερες τιμές από εκείνους που διέμεναν με την οικογένειά τους. Τα παραπάνω ευρήματα δημιουργούν ενδιαφέρον για περαιτέρω διερεύνηση της επίδρασης της δομής διαβίωσης στη σωματική δραστηριότητα των μαθητών με νοητική αναπηρία, προκειμένου να εξαχθούν ασφαλή συμπεράσματα για την ανάγκη ανάπτυξης κατάλληλων στρατηγικών ενθάρρυνσης και παρακίνησης για συμμετοχή σε σωματική δραστηριότητα με βάση τη δομή διαβίωσης
description: The purpose of this study was to assess the physical activity of students with intellectual disabilities who enroll in structures of Special Education and live under different conditions (family, closed special education structures). Physical activity was assesed with pedometer for five consecutive days during the week. The results showed that, the influence of living conditions and degree of intellectual disability on physical activity was not statistically significant. However, it was found that individuals who lived in closed special education structures had higher daily step counts than those who lived with their families. Furthermore, there were statistically significant differences in energy and fat expenditure between students who resided under different conditions, since students who lived in closed special education structures had higher values than those who resided with their families. The results of this study suggest that more research is needed to determine the influence of living conditions on physical activity of students with intellectual disabilities. These findings will help us to understand if there is need for well-designed and appropriate strategies to encourage individuals with intellectual disabilities to improve their physical activity levels

description: There are now more Particle-in-Cell (PIC) codes than ever before that researchers use to simulate intense laser-plasma interactions. To date, there have been relatively few direct comparisons of these codes in the literature, especially for relativistic intensity lasers interacting with thin overdense targets. To address this we perform a code comparison of three PIC codes: EPOCH, LSP, and WarpX for the problem of laser-driven ion acceleration in a 2D(3v) geometry for a $10^{20}$ W cm$^{-2}$ intensity laser. We examine the plasma density, ion energy spectra, and laser-plasma coupling of the three codes and find strong agreement. We also run the same simulation 20 times with different random seeds to explore statistical fluctuations of the outputs. We then compare the execution times and memory usage of the codes (without "tuning" to improve performance) using between 1 and 48 processors on one node. We provide input files to encourage larger and more frequent code comparisons in this field.

description: Correlation effects within the GW approximation have been incorporated into the Keldysh non-equilibrium transport formalism. We show that GW describes the Kondo effect and the zero-temperature transport properties of the Anderson model fairly well. Combining the GW scheme with density functional theory and a Wannier function basis set, we illustrate the impact of correlations by computing the I-V characteristics of a hydrogen molecule between two Pt chains. Our results indicate that self-consistency is fundamental for the calculated currents, but that it tends to wash out satellite structures in the spectral function.

description: The purpose of the present survey was to investigate the ability of pre-school teachers and parents to detect children with developmental coordination disorder, using the second edition of Movement Assessment Battery for Children observation list. Motor evaluation of the children was carried out using the second edition of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, while for the investigation of the pre-school teachers’ and parents’ ability to detect children with developmental coordination disorder the Movement Assessment Battery for Children checklist was used. According to the results, parents did not detect any children, while the pre-school teachers showed poor detection capability. The limited ability to evaluate children with developmental coordination disorder from parents and teachers is a point of concern. It is deemed absolutely necessary to mobilise the competent authorities in order to draw training programmes in relation to developmental coordination disorder

description: We use perturbation theory to compute the diffusion coefficient of a heavy quark or scalar moving in N=4 SU(N_c) Super Yang-Mills plasma to leading order in the coupling and the ratio T/M<<1. The result is compared both to recent strong coupling calculations in the same theory and to the corresponding weak coupling result in QCD. Finally, we present a compact and simple formulation of the Lagrangian of our theory, N=4 SYM coupled to a massive fundamental N=2 hypermultiplet, which is well-suited for weak coupling expansions.

Inapplicability of the TVOR Method to USHMM Data Outlier Identification

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Recent paper "TVOR: Finding Discrete Total Variation Outliers Among Histograms" [arXiv:2012.11574] introduces the Total Variation Outlier Recognizer (TVOR) method for identification of outliers among a given set of histograms. After providing a theoretical discussion of the method and verifying its success on synthetic and population census data, it applies the TVOR model to histograms of ages of Holocaust victims produced using United States Holocaust Memorial Museum data. It purports to identify the list of victims of the Jasenovac concentration camp as potentially suspicious. In this comment paper, we show that the TVOR model and its assumptions are grossly inapplicable to the considered dataset. When applied to the considered data, the model is biased in assigning a higher outlier score to histograms of larger sizes, the set of data points is extremely sparse around the point of interest, the dataset has not been reviewed to remove obvious data processing errors, and, contrary to the model requirements, the distributions of the victims' ages naturally vary significantly across victim lists.
description: Updated to the final accepted version. The paper has been published in IEEE Access, vol. 9, pp. 78586-78593, 2021, under the title "Comment on 'TVOR: Finding Discrete Total Variation Outliers Among Histograms' ". The difference in titles is due to the journal policy on naming of comment papers

description: We investigate the performance of a three qubit error correcting code in the framework of superconducting qubit implementations. Such a code can recover a quantum state perfectly in the case of dephasing errors but only in situations where the dephasing rate is low. Numerical studies in previous work have however shown that the code does increase the fidelity of the encoded state even in the presence of high error probability, during both storage and processing. In this work we give analytical expressions for the fidelity of such a code. We consider two specific schemes for qubit-qubit interaction realizable in superconducting systems; one $σ_zσ_z$-coupling and one cavity mediated coupling. With these realizations in mind, and considering errors during storing as well as processing, we calculate the maximum operation time allowed in order to still benefit from the code. We show that this limit can be reached with current technology.

description: The main indigenous energy source used almost exclusively for the production of electricity is lignite. In recent years, Renewable Energy Sources have been introduced in the energy field as an attempt to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and conventional fuels. The main objective of this effort is to prevent the construction and operation of new facilities for the production of electricity, where the basic fuel will come from conventional sources. Lignite-fired power plants are a polluting process and the European Union is trying to limit their use as far as possible. Alternative energy sources are being promoted by the maturation of their technologies and the reduction of polluting gases due to damage to human health and the environment in general, such as the greenhouse effect. In the present study various methods of production of both conventional fossil fuels and Renewable Sources will be analyzed, and an effort will be made to analyze the cost of production of electricity from conventional lignite-burning units as well as Renewable Energy Sources in conjunction with Pumping technology, which is starting recently to take place in Greece. In the end, a comparison will be made between the different methods so that appropriate conclusions can be drawn

description: An extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale (the $ν$MSM) can explain simultaneously dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the Universe, being consistent with the data on neutrino oscillations. A dark matter candidate in this theory is the sterile neutrino with the mass in keV range. We discuss the constraints on the properties of this particle and mechanisms of their cosmological production. Baryon asymmetry generation in this model is reviewed. Crucial experiments that can confirm or rule out the $ν$MSM are briefly discussed.

description: This paper discusses the legal aspects of the activities of transnational corporations. The relevance of the subject matter is determined by the significant impact exerted by transnational corporations on the world economy in general and on the economic situation of the country in which such corporations are registered as a subject of legal form of ownership in particular. Quality functioning of transnational corporations is an effective factor for the formation of sustainable development. This study reveals and determines the relationship between the scale of activity of transnational corporations and their legal status within the framework of both single countries and entire economic communities, the individual subjects of law of which are transnational corporations. The practical significance of this study lies in the possibility of identifying and stating key aspects that play a significant role in assessing the practical activities of transnational corporations in the context of existing legal law with the ability to use the identified patterns in specific legal practice. The results of this study can be of significant practical importance for employees in the field of legal support for the activities of transnational-scale corporations, who are faced with the need to deeply analyse the legal aspects of the activities of these organisations and provide management of such structures with timely, highquality legal recommendations regarding the correction of the activities of these organisations in the context of the existing legal field.
Trace metals and metallothioneins in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to various concentrations of acid rock drainage

Year: 2008

description: An in situ experiment was conducted at the Equity Silver mine, near Houston, British Columbia in an attempt to induce hepatic metallothioneins and study metal uptake in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)using acid rock drainage (ARD). A mesocosm apparatus consisting of 16 flow-through troughs were placed over Foxy Creek, and fish were placed tubs at the end of selected troughs. Dilution rates of ARD:stream water were 0:1 (control), 1:25000, 1:10000, 1:2500, 1:1000, 1:250, and 1:25. Bioaccumulation of copper, zinc and cadmium was determined in the liver, gill and muscle tissue using atomic absorption spectroscopy. Hepatic metallothionein concentrations were measured using differential pulse polarography. Metal concentrations in the troughs were analyzed using inductively coupled argon emission spectroscopy. The water chemistry data was modelled using the geochemical model MINTEQA2 in an attempt to estimate metal bioavailability. It was concluded that pH and adsorbtion processes in the experimental troughs played a very important role in controlling the ARD toxicity. Hepatic metallothioneins were not elevated above background levels after23 days of exposure to various concentrations of ARD. Significant metal bioaccumulation occurred with zinc, and the source appeared to be the food which the experimental fish were fed. The 48 hour LC50 was calculated to occur when roughly 1 part ARD was mixed with 1400 parts stream water. At this mixing rate, the pH of the stream would have been reduced from 7 to roughly 6.8, and copper, zinc, aluminum and cadmium concentrations would have been 0.028, 0.027, 0.277 and 0.0003 mg•L-1respectively. The 23 day LC50 was calculated to occur when roughly 1 part ARD was mixed with 5150 parts stream water. At this dilution, the pH would have not been reduced below neutrality, and the copper, zinc, aluminum and cadmium concentrations would be 0.010, 0.014, 0.113 and 0.0001 mg•L-1 respectively.

description: We report the production and characterization of a form of amorphous carbon films with sp/sp2 hybridization (atomic fraction of sp hybridized species > 20%) where the predominant sp bonding appears to be (=C=C=)n cumulene. Vibrational and electronic properties have been studied by in situ Raman spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurements. Cumulenic chains are substantially stable for temperatures lower than 250 K and they influence the electrical transport properties of the sp/sp2 carbon through a self-doping mechanism by pinning the Fermi level closer to one of the mobility gap edges. Upon heating above 250 K the cumulenic species decay to form graphitic nanodomains embedded in the sp2 amorphous matrix thus reducing the activation energy of the material. This is the first example of a pure carbon system where the sp hybridization influences bulk properties.

description: We report the direct observation of periodic intensity modulation of a laser pulse propagating in a hollow core waveguide. A series of equally spaced plasma sparks along the gas-filled capillary is produced. This effect can be explained by the beating of different fiber modes, which are excited by controlling the size of the focal spot at the capillary entrance. As compared to an artificial modulated waveguide structure, our presented approach represents an easier and more flexible quasi-phase-matching scheme for nonlinear-optical frequency conversion.

description: We present Risk Integrated's Enterprise Spreadsheet Platform (ESP), a technical approach to the near-elimination of spreadsheet risk in the enterprise computing environment, whilst maintaining the full flexibility of spreadsheets for modelling complex financial structures and processes. In its Basic Mode of use, the system comprises a secure and robust centralised spreadsheet management framework. In Advanced Mode, the system can be viewed as a robust computational framework whereby users can "submit jobs" to the spreadsheet, and retrieve the results from the computations, but with no direct access to the underlying spreadsheet. An example application, Monte Carlo simulation, is presented to highlight the benefits of this approach with regard to mitigating spreadsheet risk in complex, mission-critical, financial calculations.

Cosmological structure formation shocks and cosmic rays in hydrodynamical simulations

description: Cosmological shock waves during structure formation not only play a decisive role for the thermalization of gas in virializing structures but also for the acceleration of relativistic cosmic rays (CRs) through diffusive shock acceleration. We discuss a novel numerical treatment of the physics of cosmic rays in combination with a formalism for identifying and measuring the shock strength on-the-fly during a smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation. In our methodology, the non-thermal CR population is treated self-consistently in order to assess its dynamical impact on the thermal gas as well as other implications on cosmological observables. Using this formalism, we study the history of the thermalization process in high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations of the Lambda cold dark matter model. Collapsed cosmological structures are surrounded by shocks with high Mach numbers up to 1000, but they play only a minor role in the energy balance of thermalization. However, this finding has important consequences for our understanding of the spatial distribution of CRs in the large-scale structure. In high resolution simulations of galaxy clusters, we find a low contribution of the averaged CR pressure, due to the small acceleration efficiency of lower Mach numbers of flow shocks inside halos and the softer adiabatic index of CRs. However, within cool core regions, the CR pressure reaches equipartition with the thermal pressure leading there to a lower effective adiabatic index and thus to an enhanced compressibility of the central intracluster medium. This effect increases the central density and pressure of the cluster and thus the resulting X-ray emission and the central Sunyaev-Zel'dovich flux decrement. The integrated Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, however, is only slightly changed.

description: Prime objects were defined as generalization of simple objects in the categories of rings (modules). In this paper we introduce and investigate what turns out to be a suitable generalization of simple corings (simple comodules), namely fully coprime corings (fully coprime comodules). Moreover, we consider several primeness notions in the category of comodules of a given coring and investigate their relations with the fully coprimeness and the simplicity of these comodules. These notions are applied then to study primeness and coprimeness properties of a given coring, considered as an object in its category of right (left) comodules.

description: Il titolo della collana esprime la volontà di approfondire i profili legati al processo di integrazione europeo, non ignorandone i risvolti più burocratici e discutibili, ma sapendo guardare al di là di essi, nella logica che traspare dal gioco di assonanze indicato dal titolo. Sapere l’Europa nasce dall’esigenza di assaporare le novità – alcune irreversibili – di cui il processo di integrazione si nutre ed è portatore: stimolo alla ricerca non solo di contenuti nuovi ma del metodo, del pensiero, dei modi della presenza pubblica e privata e delle relative interazioni. Sapere d’Europa segnala invece l’esigenza di far emergere quanto – invenzioni e saperi diffusi, prassi e tradizioni collettive – si trova annidato nell’humus di Venezia e del Veneto con un sapore già marcatamente europeo.

description: This paper considers the problem of determining an optimal control action based on observed data. We formulate the problem assuming that the system can be modelled by a nonlinear state-space model, but where the model parameters, state and future disturbances are not known and are treated as random variables. Central to our formulation is that the joint distribution of these unknown objects is conditioned on the observed data. Crucially, as new measurements become available, this joint distribution continues to evolve so that control decisions are made accounting for uncertainty as evidenced in the data. The resulting problem is intractable which we obviate by providing approximations that result in finite dimensional deterministic optimisation problems. The proposed approach is demonstrated in simulation on a nonlinear system.

description: We propose an entanglement measure for two qudits based on the covariances of a set of generators of the su(N) algebra. In particular, we represent this measure in terms of the mutually unbiased projectors for N prime. For pure states this measure quantify entanglement, we obtain an explicit expression which relates it to the concurrence hierarchy, specifically the I-concurrence and the 3-concurrence. For mixed states we propose a separability criterion.

description: In this paper, we study the FCNC decay processes of $B$ and $B_c$ meson, in which one invisible particle is emitted. Both the spin-0 and spin-1 cases are considered. The model-independent effective Lagrangian is introduced to describe the coupling between the light invisible boson and quarks. The constraints of the coupling coefficients are extracted by experimental upper limits of the missing energy in $B$ meson decays. The bounds are used to predict the upper limits of branching fractions of corresponding $B_c$ decays, which are of the order of $10^{-6}$ or $10^{-5}$ when final meson is pseudoscalar or vector, respectively. The maximum branch ratios are achieved when $m_χ\approx3.5- 4$~GeV, where $m_χ$ is the mass of the invisible particle.
