description: Knowledge graphs (KGs) store highly heterogeneous information about the world in the structure of a graph, and are useful for tasks such as question answering and reasoning. However, they often contain errors and are missing information. Vibrant research in KG refinement has worked to resolve these issues, tailoring techniques to either detect specific types of errors or complete a KG. In this work, we introduce a unified solution to KG characterization by formulating the problem as unsupervised KG summarization with a set of inductive, soft rules, which describe what is normal in a KG, and thus can be used to identify what is abnormal, whether it be strange or missing. Unlike first-order logic rules, our rules are labeled, rooted graphs, i.e., patterns that describe the expected neighborhood around a (seen or unseen) node, based on its type, and information in the KG. Stepping away from the traditional support/confidence-based rule mining techniques, we propose KGist, Knowledge Graph Inductive SummarizaTion, which learns a summary of inductive rules that best compress the KG according to the Minimum Description Length principle---a formulation that we are the first to use in the context of KG rule mining. We apply our rules to three large KGs (NELL, DBpedia, and Yago), and tasks such as compression, various types of error detection, and identification of incomplete information. We show that KGist outperforms task-specific, supervised and unsupervised baselines in error detection and incompleteness identification, (identifying the location of up to 93% of missing entities---over 10% more than baselines), while also being efficient for large knowledge graphs.

description: Correct fusion of data from two sensors is not possible without an accurate estimate of their relative pose, which can be determined through the process of extrinsic calibration. When two or more sensors are capable of producing their own egomotion estimates (i.e., measurements of their trajectories through an environment), the 'hand-eye' formulation of extrinsic calibration can be employed. In this paper, we extend our recent work on a convex optimization approach for hand-eye calibration to the case where one of the sensors cannot observe the scale of its translational motion (e.g., a monocular camera observing an unmapped environment). We prove that our technique is able to provide a certifiably globally optimal solution to both the known- and unknown-scale variants of hand-eye calibration, provided that the measurement noise is bounded. Herein, we focus on the theoretical aspects of the problem, show the tightness and stability of our solution, and demonstrate the optimality and speed of our algorithm through experiments with synthetic data.

description: This study examines the determinants of farmers’ participation in farm credit market in Tanzania. Both neoclassical economics and new institutional economics perspectives were applied in the current study to analyze determinants of demand for- and repayment of farm credit for Tanzania respectively. Data were collected from a survey of 75 agrocredit contracts in Western Tanzania. The demand analysis of farm credit has shown that demand for farm credit is determined by incentive and capacity to acquire the credit. It is argued that in economies with market coordination failures the demand for farm credit can only be justified if farmers are capable and willing to repay the credit they acquired in the past. It was also found out that the agrocredit repayment rate by borrower farmers in the study area increased with increase in implied cost of forms of coercion used to enforce repayment, quality of borrower farmer’s characteristics, utility cost of borrower’s degree of guiltiness or shame, value of multilateral relationships with market actors and value/volume of borrowed agrocredit. The paper concludes that under market coordination failures, the investment in social network and personalised relationships is inevitable in promoting supply and hence effective demand for farm credit

description: We report on the recent results of the hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM). The model contains a spin independent three-quark interaction which is inspired by Lattice QCD calculations and reproduces the average energy values of the SU(6) multiplets. The splittings are obtained with a SU(6)-breaking interaction, which can include also an isospin dependent term. Concerning Constituent Quark models, we have shown for the first time that the decreasing of the ratio of the elastic form factors of the proton is due to relativistic effects using relativistic corrections to the e.m. current and boosts. Now the elastic nucleon form factors have been recalculated, using a relativistic version of the hCQM and a relativistic quark current showing a very detailed reproduction of all the four form factor existing data over the complete range of 0-4 $GeV^2$. Futhermore, the model has been used for predictions concerning the electromagnetic transverse and longitudinal transition form factors giving a good description of the medium $Q^2$ behaviour. We show that the discrepancies in the reproduction of the helicity amplitudes at low $Q^2$ are due to pion loops. We have calculated the helicity amplitudes for all the 3 and 4 star resonances opening the possibility of application to the evaluation of cross sections.

Scheme for realizing quantum dense coding via entanglement swapping

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Quantum dense coding is a protocol for transmitting two classical bits of information from a sender (Alice) to a remote receiver (Bob) by sending only one quantum bit (qubit). In this article, we propose an experimentally feasible scheme to realize quantum dense coding \textit{via} entanglement swapping in a cavity array containing a certain number of two-level atoms. Proper choice of system parameters such as atom-cavity couplings and inter-cavity couplings allows perfect transfer of information. A high fidelity transfer of information is shown to be possible by using recently achieved experimental values in the context of photonic crystal cavities and superconducting resonators. To mimic experimental imperfections, disorder in both the coupling strengths and resonance frequencies is considered.

Visualizing classical and quantum probability densities for momentum using variations on familiar one-dimensional potentials

description: After briefly reviewing the definitions of classical probability densities for position, $P_{CL}(x)$, and for momentum, $P_{CL}(p)$, we present several examples of classical mechanical potential systems, mostly variations on such familiar cases as the infinite well and the uniformly accelerated particle for which the classical distributions can be easily derived and visualized. We focus especially on a simple potential which interpolates between the symmetric linear potential, $V(x) = F|x|$, and the infinite well, which can illustrate, in a mathematically straightforward way, how the divergent, $δ$-function classical probability density for momentum for the infinite well can be easily seen to arise. Such examples can help students understand the quantum mechanical momentum-space wavefunction (and its corresponding probability density) in much the same way that other semi-classical techniques, such as the WKB approximation, can be used to visualize position-space wavefunctions.

description: The main objective of the study was to present the external sources of financing for tangible assets in the business of transportation companies. Primary sources, statistics and any information on websites were vital for writing the article. Study and analysis of the collected material were conducted according to the tabular-descriptive method. As transportation companies are in high demand for financing tangible assets connected with their activity, they frequently take advantage of the external financial sources. Loans and leases were compared in this study due to the fact that they are now the two main sources of external funds for investments, regularly used by entrepreneurs in Poland as well as worldwide. Both advantages and disadvantages of financing ways mentioned above were indicated. The availability of capital and its acquisition cost are essential for the expansion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and thus affect their level of competitiveness and market position. Choice of the right form of financing should take place after a thorough analysis of which is more advantageous for the entrepreneur as the life of any company depends on these decisions.

description: Random flights (also called run-and-tumble walks or transport processes) represent finite velocity random motions changing direction at any Poissonian time. These models in d-dimension, can be studied giving a general formulation of the problem valid at any spatial dimension. The aim of this paper is to extend this general analysis to time-fractional processes arising from a non-local generalization of the kinetic equations. The probabilistic interpretation of the solution of the time-fractional equations leads to a time-changed version of the original transport processes. The obtained results provides a clear picture of the role played by the time-fractional derivatives in this kind of random motions. They display an anomalous behavior and are useful to describe several complex systems arising in statistical physics and biology. In particular, we focus on the one-dimensional random flight, called telegraph process, studying the time-fractional version of the classical telegraph equation and providing a suitable interpretation of its stochastic solutions.

Single spin measurement using spin-orbital entanglement

description: Single spin measurement represents a major challenge for spin-based quantum computation. In this article we propose a new method for measuring the spin of a single electron confined in a quantum dot (QD). Our strategy is based on entangling (using unitary gates) the spin and orbital degrees of freedom. An {\em orbital qubit}, defined by a second, empty QD, is used as an ancilla and is prepared in a known initial state. Measuring the orbital qubit will reveal the state of the (unknown) initial spin qubit, hence reducing the problem to the easier task of single charge measurement. Since spin-charge conversion is done with unit probability, single-shot measurement of an electronic spin can be, in principle, achieved. We evaluate the robustness of our method against various sources of error and discuss briefly possible implementations.

description: We present an in-depth analysis of muon-spin spectroscopy measurements of Eu$_{2}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ under the effect of the Eu$_{1-x}$Bi$_{x}$ isovalent and diamagnetic substitution as well as of external pressure. Our results evidence an anomalously slow increase of the magnetic volume fraction upon decreasing temperature only for stoichiometric Eu$_{2}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$, pointing towards highly unconventional properties of the magnetic phase developing therein. We argue that magnetism in Eu$_{2}$Ir$_{2}$O$_{7}$ develops based on the nucleation of magnetic droplets at $T_{N}$, whose successive growth is limited by the need of a continuous generation of magnetic hedgehog monopoles.

description: The purpose of the article is to analyze the innovative forms of bioeconomy in the region. Due to the aim of the research, the main tasks are the following: to characterize such forms of innovative infractructure as business incubator, technopark, technopolis and cluster; to show the relationship between the evolution of the region and implementation of bioeconomy principles within this region; to investigate the successful experience of different countries concerning the establishment of innovative structures based on biotechnology, to explore the specific conditions of bioeconomy development in Ukraine. The paper contains the general characteristics of the bioeconomy as the economy based on the use of renewable biological resources. Exploring this realm of economy there was used scientific material of various domestic and foreign researchers, analytics and practicians as L. I. Fedulova, K. I. Fedulova, O. M. Anisimova, O. I. Didchenko, K. McCormick, N. Kautto, S. Hilgartner, L. Lewidow and international sources of information such as Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions. Preparing the study there were used such scientific methods as analysis, synthesis, generalization, explanation, classification. The article shows the importance of biotechnology using in the region that was confirmed by the world experience. We believe that the main objects of strong activation of biotech sector in the region are the bioclusters. They have the most comprehensive and highest efficiency in terms of uniting the efforts of stakeholders. It is confirmed by the experience of many countries. So, the bioeconomy serves as a new part of the national economy, which has unlimited possibilities for prosperity in the region of its localization through the various innovative forms of expression.

description: The spin-sensitive charge oscillation, controlled by an external magnetic field, was recently proposed as a mechanism of transformations of qubits, defined as two-electron spin-charge Wannier molecules in a square quantum dot. The paper expands this idea by including the effects of Rashba type spin-orbit coupling. The problem is studied theoretically by mapping the system to an analytic effective Hamiltonian for 8 low energy states, comprising singlet and triplet on each dot diagonal. The validity of the mapping is confirmed by comparing the energy and spin of full and mapped system, and also by the reproduction of charge-oscillation dynamics in the presence of magnetic flux. The newly introduced Rashba coupling significantly enriches the system dynamics, affecting the magnitude of charge oscillations and allowing the controlled transitions between singlet and triplet states due to the spin rotations, induced by spin-orbit coupling. The results indicate the possibility for use of the studied system for quantum information processing, while possible extensions of the system to serve as a qubit in a universal quantum computer, fulfilling all five DiVincenzo criteria, are also discussed.

title: Evaluation of pesticide toxicity: a hierarchical QSAR approach to model the acute aquatic toxicity and avian oral toxicity of pesticides
Creators: name: Mazzatorta, Paolo
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: The thesis aimed to extract information relevant to the hazard and risk assessment of pesticides. In particular, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) approaches have been used to build up a mathematical model able to predict the aquatic acute toxicity, LC50, and the avian oral toxicity, LD50, for pesticides. Ecotoxicological values were collected from several databases, and screened according to quality criteria.

A hierarchical QSAR approach was applied for the prediction of acute aquatic toxicity. Chemical structures were encoded into molecular descriptors by an automated, seamless procedure available within the OpenMolGRID system. Different linear and non-linear regression techniques were used to obtain reliable and thoroughly validated QSARs. The final model was developed by a counter-propagation neural network coupled with genetic algorithms for variable selection. The proposed QSAR is consistent with McFarland's principle for biological activity and makes use of seven molecular descriptors. The model was assessed thoroughly in test (R2 = 0.8) and validation sets (R2 = 0.72), the y-scrambling test and a sensitivity/stability test.

The second endpoint considered in this thesis was avian oral toxicity. As previously, the chemical description of chemicals was generated automatically by the OpenMolGRID system. The best classification model was chosen on the basis of the performances on a validation set of 19 data points, and was obtained from a support vector machine using 94 data points and nine variables selected by genetic algorithms (Error Ratetraining = 0.021, Error Ratevalidation = 0.158). The model allowed for a mechanistic estimation of the toxicological action. In fact, several descriptors selected for the final classification model encode for the interaction of the pesticides with other molecules. The presence of hetero-atoms, e.g. sulphur atoms, is correlated with the toxicity, and the pool of descriptor selected is generally dependent from the 3D conformation of the structures. These suggest that, in the case of avian oral toxicity, pesticides probably exert their toxic action through the interaction with some macromolecule and/or protein of the biological system.
Low pumping energy mode of the "optical bars''/"optical lever" topologies of gravitational-wave antennae

description: The ``optical bars''/``optical lever'' topologies of gravitational-wave antennae allow to obtain sensitivity better that the Standard Quantum Limit while keeping the optical pumping energy in the antenna relatively low. Element of the crucial importance in these schemes is the local meter which monitors the local test mirror position. Using cross-correlation of this meter back-action noise and its measurement noise it is possible to further decrease the optical pumping energy. In this case the pumping energy minimal value will be limited by the internal losses in the antenna only. Estimates show that for values of parameters available for contemporary and planned gravitational-wave antennae, sensitivity about one order of magnitude better than the Standard Quantum Limit can be obtained using the pumping energy about one order of magnitude smaller energy than is required in the traditional topology in order to obtain the the Standard Quantum Limit level of sensitivity.

description: In clinical practice, tri-modal medical image fusion, compared to the existing dual-modal technique, can provide a more comprehensive view of the lesions, aiding physicians in evaluating the disease's shape, location, and biological activity. However, due to the limitations of imaging equipment and considerations for patient safety, the quality of medical images is usually limited, leading to sub-optimal fusion performance, and affecting the depth of image analysis by the physician. Thus, there is an urgent need for a technology that can both enhance image resolution and integrate multi-modal information. Although current image processing methods can effectively address image fusion and super-resolution individually, solving both problems synchronously remains extremely challenging. In this paper, we propose TFS-Diff, a simultaneously realize tri-modal medical image fusion and super-resolution model. Specially, TFS-Diff is based on the diffusion model generation of a random iterative denoising process. We also develop a simple objective function and the proposed fusion super-resolution loss, effectively evaluates the uncertainty in the fusion and ensures the stability of the optimization process. And the channel attention module is proposed to effectively integrate key information from different modalities for clinical diagnosis, avoiding information loss caused by multiple image processing. Extensive experiments on public Harvard datasets show that TFS-Diff significantly surpass the existing state-of-the-art methods in both quantitative and visual evaluations.

description: Macroscopic magnetic properties and microscopic magnetic structure of Rb$_2$Mn$_3$(MoO$_4$)$_3$(OH)$_2$ (space group $Pnma$) are investigated by magnetization, heat capacity and single-crystal neutron diffraction measurements. The compound's crystal structure contains bond-alternating [Mn$_3$O$_{11}$]$^{\infty}$ chains along the $b$-axis, formed by isosceles triangles of Mn ions occupying two crystallographically nonequivalent sites (Mn1 site on the base and Mn2 site on the vertex). These chains are only weakly linked to each other by nonmagnetic oxyanions. Both SQUID magnetometry and neutron diffraction experiments show two successive magnetic transitions as a function of temperature. On cooling, it transitions from a paramagnetic phase into an incommensurate phase below 4.5~K with a magnetic wavevector near ${\bf k}_{1} = (0,~0.46,~0)$. An additional commensurate antiferromagnetically ordered component arises with ${\bf k}_{2} = (0,~0,~0)$, forming a complex magnetic structure below 3.5~K with two different propagation vectors of different stars. On further cooling, the incommensurate wavevector undergoes a lock-in transition below 2.3~K. The experimental results suggest that the magnetic superspace group is $Pnma.1'(0b0)s0ss$ for the single-${\bf k}$ incommensurate phase and is $Pn'ma(0b0)00s$ for the 2-${\bf k}$ magnetic phase. We propose a simplified magnetic structure model taking into account the major ordered contributions, where the commensurate ${\bf k}_{2}$ defines the ordering of the $c$-axis component of Mn1 magnetic moment, while the incommensurate ${\bf k}_{1}$ describes the ordering of the $ab$-plane components of both Mn1 and Mn2 moments into elliptical cycloids

description: Are large biological extinctions such as the Cretaceous/Tertiary KT boundary due to a meteorite, extreme volcanic activity or self-organized critical extinction cascades? Are commercial successes due to a progressive reputation cascade or the result of a well orchestrated advertisement? Determining the chain of causality for extreme events in complex systems requires disentangling interwoven exogenous and endogenous contributions with either no clear or too many signatures. Here, we study the precursory and recovery signatures accompanying shocks, that we test on a unique database of the Amazon sales ranking of books. We find clear distinguishing signatures classifying two types of sales peaks. Exogenous peaks occur abruptly and are followed by a power law relaxation, while endogenous sale peaks occur after a progressively accelerating power law growth followed by an approximately symmetrical power law relaxation which is slower than for exogenous peaks. These results are rationalized quantitatively by a simple model of epidemic propagation of interactions with long memory within a network of acquaintances. The slow relaxation of sales implies that the sales dynamics is dominated by cascades rather than by the direct effects of news or advertisements, indicating that the social network is close to critical.

description: Retail trade, being an important sector of the state economics and an essential part of the space and economy of cities, has been changing dynamically and profoundly since the beginning of the system transformation in Poland. The aim of this thesis is to present forms and types of retail trade, which take shape of store sales in cities, as well as to indicate its significance as a part of city space, its image and functions. Particular attention has been paid to the development of modern commercial buildings in big city agglomerations and small towns up to 50,000 inhabitants. The thesis is based on research literature, statistical data, consulting companies’ reports, and on the outcomes of surveys carried out by public institutions.

description: We study the thermodynamic limit of the anisotropic XYZ spin chain with non-diagonal integrable open boundary conditions. Although the $U(1)$-symmetry is broken, by using the new parametrization scheme, we exactly obtain the surface energy and the excitation energy of the system, which has solved the difficulty in the inhomogeneous $T-Q$ relation. With the boundary parameters in the regions making the Hamiltonian Hermitian, we have obtained the distribution patterns of the zero roots of the eigenvalue of the transfer matrix for the ground state and the excited ones. We find that the surface and excitation energies depend on the parities of sites number $N$, due to the long-range Neel order in the bulk. The spontaneous magnetization and easy-axis for all the regions of boundary parameters are studied. We also obtain the physical quantities in the thermodynamic limit of boundary XXZ model by taking the triangular limit.

description: Passive scalars advected by three-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence exhibit a fundamental anomaly in odd-order moments because of the characteristic ramp-cliff structures, violating small-scale isotropy. We use data from direct numerical simulations with grid resolution of up to $8192^3$ at high Péclet numbers to understand this anomaly as the scalar diffusivity, $D$, diminishes, or as the Schmidt number, $Sc = ν/D$, increases; here $ν$ is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid. The microscale Reynolds number varies from 140 to 650 and $Sc$ varies from 1 to 512. A simple model for the ramp-cliff structures is shown to characterize the scalar derivative statistics extremely well. It accurately captures how the small-scale isotropy is restored in the large-$Sc$ limit, and additionally suggests a slight correction to the Batchelor length scale as the relevant smallest scale in the scalar field.

description: The article presents selected and, in case of certain plots, extended results of researches conducted for the Ministry of Regional Development within the works on “The strategy of the development of Eastern Poland up to 2020” (Śleszyński et al. 2011). The topics raised there, among others, include the rarely analysed issues connected with the formation of functional linkages on the basis of registered migrations. The unique data from GUS (Central Statistical Office of Poland) concerning registered matrix migrations (check-ins and check-outs) between municipalities in 2009 was used. The results of analyses point to relatively strong linkages of the region with Warsaw, at the expense of the voivodeship cities (especially Białystok and Lublin) and also quite strong internal polarization in respect of settlement hierarchy.

description: The Polish Customs Service actively participates in both preventing and counteracting all criminal activities threatening the country and its citizens. Apart from being the guardian of public finances, it has a social role in that it reinforces heightened controls in order to prevent the importation/exportation of illegal and/or dangerous goods, endangered species of animals and plants to and from the country. Moreover, it ensures that all measures are implemented to protect cultural heritage, intellectual property and internal market against a trade in goods activities that would adversely affect the conditions of tax competition in the country.

description: Hawking radiation originates from a "quantum atmosphere" around black holes, not necessarily from the vicinity of the horizon. We examine and discuss the properties of quantum atmospheres of asymptotically flat Reissner-Nordström black holes, which extends further and further away from the black hole as extremality is approached, though arguably it becomes indistinguishable from normal vacuum fluctuation at spatial infinity. In addition, following our previous findings on re-writing the Hawking temperature of a Kerr black hole in terms of a "spring constant", we generalize the same notion to the Reissner-Nordström case, which allows us to put a minimum size on the location where Hawking particles can be emitted near a black hole, which agrees with the stretched horizon.

description: The purpose of this study is to introduce an outline of possible solutions aimed at a change of financial safety systems in European financial institutions caused by financial crisis that began at the end of the first decade of this century. The first section of the study presents the pre-crisis condition of supervisory institutions and prudential regulations in the European financial sector. The merits of work focuses on characteristics of new regulatory and legal solutions, which were implemented in the last 5 years in order to improve the safety of financial system on the common mark et. Documents posted on the European institutions’ websites were the main sources used in this study. This work also includes literature on the subject which is still, due to the short time of functioning, not very numerous. Having taken new regulations and multiplicity of appointed institutions into account, the reform of safety system is doubtlessly a large undertaking. While some regulations have already begun to affect financial sector directly, the institutions’ effectiveness should not be yet evaluated because of a short-term of their activity.

Phases and Transitions in Phantom Nematic Elastomer Membranes

description: Motivated by recently discovered unusual properties of bulk nematic elastomers, we study a phase diagram of liquid-crystalline polymerized phantom membranes, focusing on in-plane nematic order. We predict that such membranes should enerically exhibit five phases, distinguished by their conformational and in-plane orientational properties, namely isotropic-crumpled, nematic-crumpled, isotropic-flat, nematic-flat and nematic-tubule phases. In the nematic-tubule phase, the membrane is extended along the direction of {\em spontaneous} nematic order and is crumpled in the other. The associated spontaneous symmetries breaking guarantees that the nematic-tubule is characterized by a conformational-orientational soft (Goldstone) mode and the concomitant vanishing of the in-plane shear modulus. We show that long-range orientational order of the nematic-tubule is maintained even in the presence of harmonic thermal luctuations. However, it is likely that tubule's elastic properties are ualitatively modified by these fluctuations, that can be studied using a nonlinear elastic theory for the nematic tubule phase that we derive at the end of this paper.
