ReLo: a Dynamic Logic to Reason About Reo Circuits

description: Critical systems require high reliability and are present in many domains. They are systems in which failure may result in financial damage or even loss of lives. Standard techniques of software engineering are not enough to ensure the absence of unacceptable failures and/or that critical requirements are fulfilled. Reo is a component-based modelling language that aims to provide a framework to build software based on existing pieces of software, which has been used in a wide variety of domains. Its formal semantics provides grounds to certify that systems based on Reo models satisfy specific requirements (i.e., absence of deadlocks). Current logical approaches for reasoning over Reo require the conversion of formal semantics into a logical framework. ReLo is a dynamic logic that naturally subsumes Reo's semantics. It provides a means to reason over Reo circuits. This work extends ReLo by introducing the iteration operator, and soundness and completeness proofs for its axiomatization.

Detection methods for stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds: a unified treatment

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We review detection methods that are currently in use or have been proposed to search for a stochastic background of gravitational radiation. We consider both Bayesian and frequentist searches using ground-based and space-based laser interferometers, spacecraft Doppler tracking, and pulsar timing arrays; and we allow for anisotropy, non-Gaussianity, and non-standard polarization states. Our focus is on relevant data analysis issues, and not on the particular astrophysical or early Universe sources that might give rise to such backgrounds. We provide a unified treatment of these searches at the level of detector response functions, detection sensitivity curves, and, more generally, at the level of the likelihood function, since the choice of signal and noise models and prior probability distributions are actually what define the search. Pedagogical examples are given whenever possible to compare and contrast different approaches. We have tried to make the article as self-contained and comprehensive as possible, targeting graduate students and new researchers looking to enter this field.

description: Thorough characterization of the thermo-mechanical properties of materials requires difficult and time-consuming experiments. This severely limits the availability of data and it is one of the main obstacles for the development of effective accelerated materials design strategies. The rapid screening of new potential systems requires highly integrated, sophisticated and robust computational approaches. We tackled the challenge by surveying more than 3,000 crystalline solids within the AFLOW framework with the newly developed "Automatic Elasticity Library" combined with the previously implemented GIBBS method. The first extracts the mechanical properties from automatic self-consistent stress-strain calculations, while the latter employs those mechanical properties to evaluate the thermodynamics within the Debye model. The new thermo-elastic library is benchmarked against a set of 74 experimentally characterized systems to pinpoint a robust computational methodology for the evaluation of bulk and shear moduli, Poisson ratios, Debye temperatures, Grüneisen parameters, and thermal conductivities of a wide variety of materials. The effect of different choices of equations of state is examined and the optimum combination of properties for the Leibfried-Schlömann prediction of thermal conductivity is identified, leading to improved agreement with experimental results than the GIBBS-only approach.

description: Clustering of dark matter halos has been shown to depend on halo properties beyond mass such as halo concentration, a phenomenon referred to as halo assembly bias. Standard halo occupation models (HOD) in large scale structure studies assume that halo mass alone is sufficient in characterizing the connection between galaxies and halos. Modeling of galaxy clustering can face systematic effects if the number of galaxies within a halo is correlated with other halo properties. Using the Small MultiDark-Planck high resolution $N$-body simulation and the clustering measurements of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7 main galaxy sample, we investigate the extent to which the concentration-dependence of halo occupation can be constrained. Furthermore, we study how allowing for the concentration dependence can improve our modeling of galaxy clustering. Our constraints on HOD with assembly bias suggest that satellite population is not correlated with halo concentration at fixed halo mass. At fixed halo mass, our constraints favor lack of correlation between the occupation of centrals and halo concentration in the most luminous samples ($M_{\rm r}

Para cumplir con este objetivo fue necesario indagar acerca de los conocimientos, percepciones y prácticas de las niñas de dicha Institución con respecto a la Higiene Menstrual. Con el diseño de la campaña de comunicación se pretende incidir comunicativamente para que se reconozca la Higiene Menstrual como derecho en la institución, y poder mitigar estigmas y tabúes, educar, visibilizar las condiciones de la infraestructura de la institución y gestionar la intervención de empresas productoras y comercializadoras de elementos de recolección menstrual en sectores vulnerables. Para las autoras del trabajo es muy importante que el nombre y mensaje de esta campaña, “La higiene menstrual diga es un derecho”, trascienda porque La Higiene Menstrual es un derecho humano que implica garantizar los derechos a la educación, a la educación menstrual, la salud, la no discriminación y la igualdad de género, así como los derechos al agua y al saneamiento

description: Despite its frequent use in applied work, nonparametric approaches to efficiency analysis, namely data envelopment analysis (DEA) and free disposal hull (FDH), have bad reputations among econometricians. This is mainly due to DEA and FDH representing deterministic approaches that are highly sensitive to outliers and measurement errors. However, recently, so-called partial frontier approaches namely order-m and order-alpha have been developed. They generalize FDH by allowing for super-efficient observations to be located beyond the estimated production-possibility frontier. Although these methods are purely nonparametric too, sensitivity to outliers is substantially reduced by partial frontier approaches enveloping just a sub-sample of observations. We introduce the new Stata commands orderm and orderalpha that implement order-m, order-alpha, and FDH efficiency analysis in Stata. The commands allow for several options, such as statistical inference based on sub-sampling bootstrap.

description: We investigate the problem of periodically modulated strongly interacting neutron matter. We carry out ab initio non-perturbative auxiliary-field diffusion Monte Carlo calculations using an external sinusoidal potential in addition to phenomenological two- and three-nucleon interactions. Several choices for the wave function ansatz are explored and special care is taken to extrapolate finite-sized results to the thermodynamic limit. We perform calculations at various densities as well as at different strengths and periodicities of the one-body potential. Our microscopic results are then used to constrain the isovector term from energy-density functional theories of nuclei at many different densities, while making sure to separate isovector contributions from bulk properties. Lastly, we use our results to extract the static density-density linear response function of neutron matter at different densities. Our findings provide insights into inhomogeneous neutron matter and are related to the physics of neutron star crusts and neutron-rich nuclei.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Performance management encompasses the entire process of improving and sustaining human performance throughout an organization. Collectively, the performance of individuals determines that of teams, departments and ultimately the entire enterprise. Thus, the objective of the study was to assess the Effectiveness of Performance Management System of NIC with the major themes of the study being the performance management process and use/purpose of the system. The study employed descriptive methodology and used both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Percentages and frequencies were used to analyze the data and interpretations were made on them. Out of the target population (285), the sample size was determined by using a standard size determination table. On that basis, 80 questionnaires were distributed to the head office and all branches located in Addis Ababa. Accordingly, the findings indicated that the performance management practice is implemented with some gaps like: lack of adequate knowledge of employees on PMS, weak feedback and coaching practice, lack of adequate training and development and lack of ownership of the system by line managers. In addition, challenges like absence of training and development caused by lack of budget, subjective decision of evaluators, inappropriate employee perception towards the system and inadequate commitment from the Human Resource department and the management was pointed out. Raising staff awareness on Performance Management System(PMS) and its practices, monitoring of the Performance Management activities and focusing on employee development are the recommended actions to the organization.

description: Coagulation is a widely used water treatment process that requires the addition of a substance in order to destabilize suspended particles to allow for aggregation, and ultimately sedimentation. Currently chemical coagulants like aluminum or iron salts are the most common additives but they have fallen under scrutiny due to environmental and health concerns. The use of chemical coagulants requires extensive infrastructure and training to ensure they are employed correctly, and disposal of the resulting non-biodegradable sludge is expensive. Bio coagulants represent a simple and sustainable alternative that can also be used as an in-home water treatment technology. Cottonseed (G. hirsutum) meal has been studied due to its high genetic similarity to identified bio coagulants, and because it is a non-food plant byproduct. This work examines the functionality of cottonseed meal serum as a coagulant, as well as its potential mechanisms of coagulation.

Remarks. Mangi et al. (2022) described Conoderus pakistanicus Mangi, Pahnwar & Shaikh, 2022 but it is clear from their figures that the description was based on the genus Lanelater. The images of aedeagus in the study by Mangi et al. (2022) correspond with the aedeagus of Lanelater bipunctatus (especially paramere with bluntly rounded apex is characteristic for L. bipunctatus and clearly distinguish it from congeners). Additionally, the habitus of C. pakistanicus also correspond well with habitus of L. bipunctatus; they both share rather short antennae, more or less short pronotum (in comparison with pronotum in some other Pakistani Lanelater species), and rather compact elytra. Therefore, we here synonymize Conoderus pakistanicus Mangi, Pahnwar & Shaikh, 2022 with Lanelater bipunctatus (Candèze, 1857).

description: We study the quantum fate of a naked curvature singularity sourced by a scalar field via several methods and compare the results obtained. The first method relies on relativistic quantum mechanics on a fixed background employing the Klein--Gordon and the Dirac equations for a static spacetime. We show that both the Klein--Gordon and the Dirac particles feel this singularity therefore this method does not provide its resolution. For comparison, we subsequently employ methods for quantizing the geometry itself. We selected the canonical quantization via conditional symmetries and as a last approach we use a maximal acceleration derivation in the covariant loop quantum gravity. In both of these approaches the singularity is resolved at the quantum level. We discuss these conflicting results bearing in mind that quantum particles probe classical geometry in the first approach while the last two methods quantize the geometry itself.

description: The angular momentum of light can be described by the states of spin angular momentum, associated with polarization, and orbital angular momentum, related to the helical structure of the wave front. Laguerre-Gaussian beams carry orbital angular momentum and their generation can be done by using an optical device known as q-plate. However, due to the usage of liquid crystals, these components may be restricted to operate in specific wavelengths and low power sources. Here we present the fabrication and characterization of q-plates made without liquid crystals, using processes of e-beam lithography, atomic layer depositions and dry etch techniques. We exploit the phenomenon of form birefringence to give rise to the spin-to-orbital angular momentum conversion. We demonstrate that these plates can generate beams with high quality for the UV and IR range, allowing them to interact with high power laser sources or inside laser cavities.

description: Rotavirus infection causing gastroenteritis is one of the major health concerns throughout the world. Millions of children are affected by the disease. Studying molecular mechanism and pathophysiology of the disease is important to understand and interpret possible therapeutical targets. Studies suggest that rotavirus infection alters phosphorylation of p70S6K, mitogen activated kinase (MAPK/ERK) and myosin light chain; induced inflammatory agents such as prostaglandin E2 and nitric oxide levels; and enhanced corticosterone levels to damage villi enterocytes in the small intestine. These changes lead to malabsorption, abnormal motility and diarrhea. Although Rotarix and RotaTeq vaccines are available, proposals are emerged to produce new candidate vaccines.

description: Recent measurements of $b\to sμ^+μ^-$ processes at LHCb and BELLE have revealed tensions at the $2-3\,σ$ level between the Standard Model (SM) prediction and the experimental results in the channels $B\to K^*μ^+μ^-$ and $B_s\toϕμ^+μ^-$, as well as in the lepton-flavor universality violating observable $R_K={\rm Br}(B\to Kμ^+μ^-)/{\rm Br}(B\to Ke^+e^-$). Combined global fits to the available $b\to sμ^+μ^-$ data suggest that these tensions might have their common origin in New Physics (NP) beyond the SM because some NP scenarios turn out to be preferred over the SM by $4-5\,σ$. The fact that all these anomalies are related to muons further suggests a connection (and a common NP explanation) with the long-standing anomaly in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_μ$. In this article, we study the impact of a generic class of NP models featuring new heavy scalars and fermions that couple to the SM fermions via Yukawa-like interactions. We consider two different scenarios, introducing either one additional fermion and two scalars or two additional fermions and one scalar, and examine all possible representations of the new particles under the SM gauge group with dimension up to the adjoint one. The models induce one-loop contributions to $b\to sμ^+μ^-$ and $a_μ$ which are capable of solving the respective anomalies at the $2σ$ level, albeit a relatively large coupling of the new particles to muons is required. In the case of $b\to sμ^+μ^-$, stringent constraints from $B_s-\overline{B}_s$ mixing arise which can be relaxed if the new fermion is a Majorana particle.

description: The density functional theory (DFT) is based on the existence and uniqueness of a universal functional $E[ρ]$, which determines the dependence of the total energy on single-particle density distributions. However, DFT says nothing about the form of the functional. Our strategy is to first look at what we know, from independent considerations, about the analytical density dependence of the energy of nuclear matter and then, for practical applications, to obtain an appropriate density-dependent effective interaction by reverse engineering. In a previous work on homogeneous matter, we identified the most essential terms to include in our "KIDS" functional, named after the early-stage participating institutes. We now present first results for finite nuclei, namely the energies and radii of $^{16,28}$O, $^{40,60}$Ca.

description: Time complexity in rewriting is naturally understood as the number of steps needed to reduce terms to normal forms. Establishing complexity bounds to this measure is a well-known problem in the rewriting community. A vast majority of techniques to find such bounds consist of modifying termination proofs in order to recover complexity information. This has been done for instance with semantic interpretations, recursive path orders, and dependency pairs. In this paper, we follow the same program by tailoring tuple interpretations to deal with innermost complexity analysis. A tuple interpretation interprets terms as tuples holding upper bounds to the cost of reduction and size of normal forms. In contrast with the full rewriting setting, the strongly monotonic requirement for cost components is dropped when reductions are innermost. This weakened requirement on cost tuples allows us to prove the innermost version of the compatibility result: if all rules in a term rewriting system can be strictly oriented, then the innermost rewrite relation is well-founded. We establish the necessary conditions for which tuple interpretations guarantee polynomial bounds to the runtime of compatible systems and describe a search procedure for such interpretations.

description: This thematic issue includes ten articles that address previous contradictions in research on two main trends in digital democracies: news avoidance and political polarization. Looking at these contradictions from different angles, all contributions suggest one aspect in particular that could be important for future research to investigate more specifically possible countermeasures to harmful trends: the individualized, self-reflective way in which media users nowadays engage with political content. The increasingly value-based individualization of media use may be a hopeful starting point for reversing harmful trends to some degree by addressing individual media users as a community with a common base of civic values, rather than addressing them in their limited social group identities.

description: Generalized permutahedra are a class of polytopes with many interesting combinatorial subclasses. We introduce pruned inside-out polytopes, a generalization of inside-out polytopes introduced by Beck-Zaslavsky (2006), which have many applications such as recovering the famous reciprocity result for graph colorings by Stanley. We show (quasi-)polynomiality and reciprocity results for the integer point count of pruned inside-out polytopes by applying classical Ehrhart polynomials and Ehrhart-Macdonald reciprocity. This yields a geometric perspective on and a generalization of a combinatorial reciprocity theorem for generalized permutahedra by Aguiar-Ardila (2017), Billera-Jia-Reiner (2009), and Karaboghossian (2022). Applying this reciprocity theorem to hypergraphic polytopes allows to give a geometric proof of a combinatorial reciprocity theorem for hypergraph colorings by Aval-Karaboghossian-Tanasa (2020). This proof relies, aside from the reciprocity for generalized permutahedra, only on elementary geometric and combinatorial properties of hypergraphs and their associated polytopes.

description: We examine the role of consistency with causality and quantum mechanics in determining the properties of gravitation. We begin by examining two different classes of interacting theories of massless spin 2 particles -- gravitons. One involves coupling the graviton with the lowest number of derivatives to matter, the other involves coupling the graviton with higher derivatives to matter, making use of the linearized Riemann tensor. The first class requires an infinite tower of terms for consistency, which is known to lead uniquely to general relativity. The second class only requires a finite number of terms for consistency, which appears as another class of theories of massless spin 2. We recap the causal consistency of general relativity and show how this fails in the second class for the special case of coupling to photons, exploiting related calculations in the literature. In a companion paper [1] this result is generalized to a much broader set of theories. Then, as a causal modification of general relativity, we add light scalar particles and recap the generic violation of universal free-fall they introduce and its quantum resolution. This leads to a discussion of a special type of scalar-tensor theory; the $F(\mathcal{R})$ models. We show that, unlike general relativity, these models do not possess the requisite counterterms to be consistent quantum effective field theories. Together this helps to remove some of the central assumptions made in deriving general relativity.

description: The ability to automatically analyze large quantities of image data is a valuable tool for many biochemical assays, as it rapidly provides reliable data. Here, we describe a fast and robust Fiji macro for the analysis of cellular fluorescence microscopy images with single-cell resolution. The macro presented here was validated by successful reconstruction of fluorescent and non-fluorescent cell mixing ratios (for fluorescence fractions ranging between 0 and 100%) and applied to quantify the efficiency of transfection and virus infection inhibition. It performed well compared with manually obtained image quantification data. Its use is not limited to the cases shown here but is applicable for most monolayered cellular assays with nuclei staining. We provide a detailed description of how the macro works and how it is applied to image data. It can be downloaded free of charge and may be used by and modified according to the needs of the user. • Rapid, simple, and reproducible segmentation of eukaryotic cells in confluent cellular assays • Open-source software for use without technical or computational expertise • Single-cell analysis allows identification and quantification of virus infected cell populations and infection inhibition

description: This study was designed to assess the 'Effect of Performance Appraisal on Employee Performance in United Bank'. Data were collected through questionnaire with five point likert scale. The validity of the instrument was checked and commented by professionals and my advisor. Besides, internal consistency of the instrument was measured using Cronbach Alpha and the result of the four independent variables and one dependent variable items were above 0.7Alpha value. For data collection 311 questionnaires were distributed to the sample respondents who are located in Addis Ababa city branches and the head quarter. Of the total distributed questionnaires 281 usable questionnaires were returned which is about 90.3% response rate. Interpretation is made by comparing the mean, standard deviations of the variables. To determine the significance and relationship magnitude of independent and dependent variables Pearson correlation coefficient were deployed. On the other hand multiple leaner regressions was adopted in order to understand the effect of independent variable over the dependent variable. The result implied that employees of the bank have a good understanding of the purposefulness the performance appraisal. On the other hand the result revealed that they did not agree on the current method of performance appraisal that evaluates employee's actual performance. Besides, it also depicts that employees lack receiving a consistent feedback and constructive follow up from their manager. In the mean time performance appraisal has a positive and significant relationship with employee performance and also has an impact on it. Finally, it has been suggested that the bank should deal with on reviewing method of performance appraisal, continuous communication of performance feedback and training on overall performance appraisal system for the entire employees of the bank.

Categories of FI type: a unified approach to generalizing representation stability and character polynomials

description: Representation stability is a theory describing a way in which a sequence of representations of different groups is related, and essentially contains a finite amount of information. Starting with Church-Ellenberg-Farb's theory of $FI$-modules describing sequences of representations of the symmetric groups, we now have good theories for describing representations of other collections of groups such as finite general linear groups, classical Weyl groups, and Wreath products $S_n\wr G$ for a fixed finite group $G$. This paper attempts to uncover the mechanism that makes the various examples work, and offers an axiomatic approach that generates the essentials of such a theory: character polynomials and free modules that exhibit stabilization. We give sufficient conditions on a category $C$ to admit such structure via the notion of categories of $FI$ type. This class of categories includes the examples listed above, and extends further to new types of categories such as the categorical power $FI^m$, whose modules encode sequences of representations of $m$-fold products of symmetric groups. The theory is applied in [Ga] to give homological and arithmetic stability theorems for various moduli spaces, e.g. the moduli space of degree n rational maps $P^1 \rightarrow P^m$.

description: El objetivo principal de la educación obligatoria se ha tornado más complejo y la escuela básica, en la era de la sociedad del conocimiento, tiene un desafío enorme: debe formar a los ciudadanos de un país democrático. Y una democracia requiere, entre otras cosas, que todos los ciudadanos que la conforman sean capaces de comunicarse oralmente y por escrito, pensar por sí mismos, generar ideas propias, conocer las ideas de otros (a menudo expresadas por escrito), y responsabilizarse de su postura personal y argumentarla frente a las posturas sustentadas por otros. Hoy se exige a la escuela básica que cumpla con eficacia todos estos supuestos, para que sus egresados sean usuarios competentes de la cultura escrita y, por tanto, cuenten con las habilidades de pensamiento, básicas y superiores, que les permitan generar conocimiento, continuar aprendiendo a lo largo de su vida y desempeñarse como ciudadanos de una sociedad democrática.

description: Objective Evaluation of the role of indicator pathogens in equine surgical site infection (SSI) and other infection‐promoting factors. Study design Cross‐sectional study. Animals Horses presenting with an open injury or surgical colic during 1.5 years. Methods A nasal swab and a faecal sample were collected from every patient upon admission. Furthermore, a wound swab was collected from wounds of injured horses. Details on the wounds and procedures were documented. Laparotomy incisions and injuries were monitored for signs suggesting infection. Results In total, 156 horses presented because of a surgical colic (n = 48) or open injuries (n = 108). Thirteen surgical colic patients and three injured horses did not survive beyond 24 h, and four injured horses were discharged from the clinic at the day of admission. SSIs occurred in 31 (30.7%) injured horses and 11 (31.4%) horses after laparotomy. Regarding injuries, general anaesthesia increased the risk of developing a WI compared to sedation. Indicator pathogens were cultured from 29/42 SSI. In total, 10/11 infected laparotomy incisions and 19/31 injuries with SSI tested positive for multidrug‐resistant pathogens (MDRPs) . Indicator pathogens were not detected at admission in any of the horses that developed incisional SSIs after laparotomy but were detected in two of the injured horses that developed SSIs. Conclusion MDRPs were identified in almost 70% of the SSI. Less than 5% of the affected animals were colonized with the same pathogen before admission, indicating that colonization with MDR pathogens is only one of the crucial factors for the development of SSI. Clinical significance Colonization with MDRP seems not to predispose horses to MDR SSIs.
