description: A quantitative descriptor of local atomic environments is often required for the analysis of atomistic data. Descriptors of the local atomic environment ideally provide physically and chemically intuitive insight. This requires descriptors that are low-dimensional representations of the interplay between atomic geometry and electronic bond formation. The moments of the local density of states (DOS) relate the atomic structure to the electronic structure and bond chemistry. This makes it possible to construct electronic structure based descriptors of the local atomic environment that have an immediate relation to the binding energy. We show that a low-dimensional moments-descriptor is sufficient as the lowest moments, calculated from the closest atomic neighborhood, carry the largest contributions to the local bond energy. Here, we construct moments-descriptors that project the space of local atomic environments on a 2-D map. We discuss in detail the separation of various atomic environments and their connections in the map. The distances in the map may be related to energy differences between local atomic environments as we show by analytic considerations based on analytic bond-order potentials (BOP) and by numerical assessment using TB and density-functional theory calculations. Possible applications of the proposed moments-descriptors include the classification of local atomic environments in molecular-dynamic simulations, the selection of structure sets for developing and testing interatomic potentials, as well as the construction of descriptors for machine-learning applications.

description: Hoy en día son cada vez más grandes las preocupaciones e intereses por evaluar el enfoque medioambiental que tienen las empresas, esto ha llevado a que sean cada vez más los agentes interesados en acceder a este tipo de información. Por una parte, son las propias empresas las interesadas en evaluar su propio desempeño medioambiental y compararse con la competencia en su mismo sector de actividad y, así adoptar medidas de mejora que puedan repercutir positivamente en su reputación y legitimidad. Por otra parte, son los inversores y otros stakeholders, tales como consumidores, ONG o gobiernos, los que pretenden disponer de esta información con el propósito de tomar decisiones al respecto. Podemos afirmar que el público en general se encuentra cada vez más interesado en adquirir información respecto a los productos y servicios que consumen día a día y cuál es el impacto medioambiental que generan las empresas que los producen o en las que invierten. Finalmente, existe otro actor que ha surgido en los últimos tiempos y ha cobrado una especial relevancia, con ello nos referimos a las agencias de calificación. Estas entidades pretenden brindar información relevante de las empresas tanto sobre desempeño financiero, como sobre su desempeño en términos sociales, medioambientales y de gobierno.

En este sentido, el presente trabajo tiene como primer objetivo conocer cuáles son las dimensiones que se deberían considerar para valorar adecuadamente el desempeño medioambiental de las empresas e identificar los modelos propuestos e indicadores que han definido las distintas agencias de calificación. A partir de esta revisión, en este trabajo se presenta una nueva propuesta de medición del desempeño medioambiental “Toxic Environmental Risks Analytical Intelligence (TERAIN)”. Se explica la metodología que emplea TERAIN para generar los diferentes índices y, finalmente, se justifica las principales aportaciones de la misma respecto a las propuestas principales desarrolladas por las agencias de calificación existentes en el mercado. El trabajo presenta también, el estudio del caso de una instalación de refinería de petróleo y gas en España. Finalmente, extraemos algunas conclusiones de este análisis, reconocemos las limitaciones de este trabajo y planteamos las futuras líneas de investigación que puedan surgir al respecto.

description: Using Reshetikhin's construction for multiparametric quantum algebras we obtain the associated multiparametric quantum spin chains. We show that under certain restrictions these models can be mapped to quantum spin chains with twisted boundary conditions. We illustrate how this general formalism applies to construct multiparametric versions of the supersymmetric t-J and U models.

description: In order to shed light whether the `even-odd conjecture' (even numbers of legs will superconduct accompanied by a spin gap while odd ones do not) for correlated electrons in ladder systems, the pairing correlation is studied for the Hubbard model on a two- and three-leg ladders. We have employed both the weak-coupling renormalization group and the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method for strong interactions. For the two-leg Hubbard ladder, a systematic QMC (with a controlled level spacings) has detected an enhanced pairing correlation, which is consistent with the weak-coupling prediction. We also calculate the correlation functions in the three-leg Hubbard ladder and show that the weak-coupling study predicts the dominant superconductivity, which refutes the naive even-odd conjecture. A crucial point is a spin gap for only some of the multiple spin modes is enough to make the ladder superconduct with a pairing symmetry (d-like here) compatible with the gapped mode. A QMC study for the three-leg ladder endorses the enhanced pairing correlation.

description: In this work we numerically study a self-guiding process in which ionization plays a dominant role and analyze its effect on high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases. Although this type of self-guiding --- termed as plasma-core induced self-guiding in previous works --- limits the achievable cut-off by regulating the intensity of the laser beam, it provides favorable conditions for phase matching, which is indispensable for high-flux gas high-harmonic sources. To underline the role of self-guiding in efficient HHG, we investigate the time-dependent phase matching conditions in the guided beam and show how the spatio-temporally constant fundamental intensity contributes to the constructive build-up of the harmonic field in a broad photon-energy range up to the provided cut-off.

description: The explosion of mobile phone communications in the last years occurs at a moment where data processing power increases exponentially. Thanks to those two changes in a global scale, the road has been opened to use mobile phone communications to generate inferences and characterizations of mobile phone users. In this work, we use the communication network, enriched by a set of users' attributes, to gain a better understanding of the demographic features of a population. Namely, we use call detail records and banking information to infer the income of each person in the graph.

description: Recent results demonstrating the chaotic behavior of geodesics in non-homogeneous vacuum pp-wave solutions are generalized. Here we concentrate on motion in non-homogeneous sandwich pp-waves and show that chaos smears as the duration of these gravitational waves is reduced. As the number of radial bounces of any geodesic decreases, the outcome channels to infinity become fuzzy, and thus the fractal structure of the initial conditions characterizing chaos is cut at lower and lower levels. In the limit of impulsive waves, the motion is fully non-chaotic. This is proved by presenting the geodesics in a simple explicit form which permits a physical interpretation, and demonstrates the focusing effect. It is shown that a circle of test particles is deformed by the impulse into a family of closed hypotrochoidal curves in the transversal plane. These are deformed in the longitudinal direction in such a way that a specific closed caustic surface is formed.

description: Studies and writings on corporate social responsibility turned a full cycle with much ink spilled on this topic. From the inception of a divine origin, corporate social responsibility has now become a flamboyant display of numbers and statistics which corporations proudly present them to fulfil their legal obligations. It is ironic that a divine understanding of corporate social responsibility has now transpired to be a complex calculus of statistical tabulations, too often exhibited in annual and sustainability reports. Organisations become grossly mesmerised with the grandiosity of exceeding the prerequisites of ecological, environmental, social and economic performance supported by undisputable, verifiable and measurable data. Corporate social responsibility has become senseless and meaningless. This is not a research paper nor does it entail the rudiments of any research findings. Conversely, this paper alerts and perhaps cautions corporate social responsibility practitioners on the perils of their overarching emphasis on positivism. Corporate social responsibility cannot be quantified merely in numbers but on the contrary, it should involve truthful, honest and transparent dialectic communication with the stakeholders. Many corporations deceived and some still facing the remnants of their mistakes. The Volkswagen ‘diesel dupe’ crisis and Johnson & Johnson’s baby talc powder scandals are reminders of the same. This paper is a solemn reminder that corporations must be ‘awakened’ so that ethics is grounded to its core and not merely in the cosmetic forms of presentable statistics. Corporations must make profits fairly, supply goods and services that are worthy and refrain from fraud. Those were the grounded values in corporations, understood as being the core values of a business.

description: We discuss the evolution of linear perturbations about a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background metric, using only the local conservation of energy-momentum. We show that on sufficiently large scales the curvature perturbation on spatial hypersurfaces of uniform-density is conserved when the non-adiabatic pressure perturbation is negligible. This is the first time that this result has been demonstrated independently of the gravitational field equations. A physical picture of long-wavelength perturbations as being composed of separate Robertson-Walker universes gives a simple understanding of the possible evolution of the curvature perturbation, in particular clarifying the conditions under which super-horizon curvature perturbations may vary.

description: Building detection from satellite multispectral imagery data is being a fundamental but a challenging problem mainly because it requires correct recovery of building footprints from high-resolution images. In this work, we propose a deep learning approach for building detection by applying numerous enhancements throughout the process. Initial dataset is preprocessed by 2-sigma percentile normalization. Then data preparation includes ensemble modelling where 3 models were created while incorporating OpenStreetMap data. Binary Distance Transformation (BDT) is used for improving data labeling process and the U-Net (Convolutional Networks for Biomedical Image Segmentation) is modified by adding batch normalization wrappers. Afterwards, it is explained how each component of our approach is correlated with the final detection accuracy. Finally, we compare our results with winning solutions of SpaceNet 2 competition for real satellite multispectral images of Vegas, Paris, Shanghai and Khartoum, demonstrating the importance of our solution for achieving higher building detection accuracy.

description: The disorder driven quantum Hall to insulator transition is investigated for a two-dimensional lattice model. The Hall conductivity and the localization length are calculated numerically near the transition. For uncorrelated and weakly correlated disorder potentials the current carrying states are annihilated by the negative Chern states originating from the band center. In the presence of correlated disorder potentials with correlation length larger than approximately half the lattice constant the floating up of the critical states in energy without merging is observed. This behavior is similar to the levitation scenario proposed for the continuum model.

description: We apply the transfer-matrix DMRG (TMRG) to a stochastic model, the Domany-Kinzel cellular automaton, which exhibits a non-equilibrium phase transition in the directed percolation universality class. Estimates for the stochastic time evolution, phase boundaries and critical exponents can be obtained with high precision. This is possible using only modest numerical effort since the thermodynamic limit can be taken analytically in our approach. We also point out further advantages of the TMRG over other numerical approaches, such as classical DMRG or Monte-Carlo simulations.

description: We have calculated the density of states $N(ω)$ of a dirty but homogeneous superconductor in a high magnetic field. We assume a dilute concentration of scalar impurities and find how $N(ω)$ behaves as one crosses from the weak scattering to the strong scattering limit. At low energies, $N(ω)\sim ω^2$ for small values of the impurity concentration and scattering strength. When the disorder becomes stronger than some critical value, a finite density of states is created at the Fermi surface. These results are a consequence of the gapless nature of the quasiparticle excitation spectrum in a high magnetic field.

description: A fluid particle changes its dynamics from diffusive to oscillatory as the system density increases up to the melting density. Hence, the notion of the Frenkel line was introduced to demarcate the fluid region into rigid and nonrigid liquid subregions based on the collective particle dynamics. In this work, we apply a topological framework to locate the Frenkel lines of the soft-sphere and the hard-sphere models relying on the system configurations. The topological characteristics of the ideal gas and the maximally random jammed state are first analyzed, then the classification scheme designed in our earlier work is applied. The classification result shows that the fraction of solid-like atoms increases from zero to one in the rigid liquid region. The dependence of the solid-like fraction on the bulk density is understood based on the theory of fluid polyamorphism. The percolation behavior of solid-like clusters is described based on the fraction of solid-like molecules in an integrated manner. The crossover densities are obtained by examining the percolation of solid-like clusters. The resultant crossover densities of soft-sphere fluids converge to that of hard-sphere fluid. Hence, the topological method successfully highlights the generality of the Frenkel line.

description: This study investigated perception and factors impeding perineal massage among mothers and midwives in Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. Four research questions and a hypothesis were formulated to guide the study. The study adopted a mixed methods approach with explanatory sequential research design. A total of 219 respondents (182 mothers and 37 midwives) were selected as sample of the study through Purposive sampling technique. Simple random sampling method was used to select thirty respondents (10 midwives and 20 mothers for in-depth interview in the qualitative study. Two sets of validated questionnaires (one for mothers and one for midwives) and in-depth interview guide were the instruments of data collections. Data collected were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, tables, charts, frequencies and percentages. The hypothesis was tested for significance at 0.05 level of significance, using the chi-square (X2) test. Qualitative data was analyzed using open coding and thematic analytical method, which revealed four major themes (perceptions, barriers, relationship and benefits), and eight sub-themes. Finding from the study revealed that most mothers (57.1%) have negative perceptions about practice of perineal massage; while majority of midwives (99.2%) have positive perceptions about the practice. The major factors impeding practice of perineal massage among mothers are: low awareness, negative perception, poor knowledge, negative attitude, lack of information, commitment, and being a single mother. The factors impeding provision of perineal massage care among midwives are: shortage of midwives, negative attitude, late presentation of mothers to healthcare facility, poor implementation of health policy on provision of perineal massage care, and lack of commitment to provision of perineal massage care. There is a significant relationship between practice of perineal massage and occurrence of perineal injuries in mothers. The benefits of perineal massage include: prevention/reduction in the risk of perineal tears, reduction in the use of episiotomy, prevention of postpartum haemorrhage, reduction in time of hospital stay after delivery. The study concluded that although practice/provision of perineal massage is an effective way of preventing and reducing perineal pain, episiotomy and trauma. It was recommended that mothers should be educated on the benefits of perineal massage and midwives are advised to be committed to provision of perineal massage.

description: The world has witnessed corporate scandals of monstrosity magnitude. The Enron Scandal, the Nike Sweatshop scandal and the recent Johnson and Johnson baby talc in 2018 are some dishonors that reshaped the business world and reinvigorated the importance of business ethics. Indeed, supranational and national movements such as the Global Reporting Initiatives have responded to these scandals by imposing stricter corporate reporting to instill greater transparency and corporate responsibility. Ironically, despite unwavering efforts, corporations are still blatantly flouting regulations. The Volkswagen “diesel dupe” crisis is a stark reminder of the inherent weakness of current regulations. Despite Volkswagen’s staunch adherence to those stringent reporting guidelines, they breached ethics to the core, creating a tsunami of vehicle recalls, massive social, political and legal repercussions. Volkswagen’s cheat device is a ‘creative destruction’ that challenged the fundamental usefulness of corporate reporting. Corporate social responsibility has evolved tremendously, now taking the form of positivistic reporting patterns. Corporations are measured by their ecological, social and economic performance where they flamboyantly table those data and information to garner stakeholders’ support and legitimacy. However, a pragmatic approach towards corporate social responsibility is self-defeating. It erodes and dilutes a corporation’s ability to make sense, communicate and adapt to their externalities. Instead, corporations boast of their corporate prowess and triple bottom line. Using Volkswagen as a subject, this paper exposes the inherent weaknesses of a positivistic corporate reporting approach to social responsibility. A positivistic approach such as this cannot engender a truthful, honest and open posture in business corporations. Instead, this paper exemplifies that a meaningful sensemaking corporate social responsibility instills reflexive organisation change and moral transpose within corporations. This paper underlines this reflexive organisational change and moral transpose in Volkswagen as they encounter the diesel crisis. This study is novel and greatly enhances previous literatures in corporate social responsibility by instilling an appropriate model to underline these momentous reflexive organisational changes and moral transformations in Volkswagen. In this paper, the current authors fill this gap by addressing the issues of sensemaking CSR on reflexive organisation change and their moral transpose.

description: Self-interacting dark matter has been suggested in order to overcome the difficulties of the Cold Dark Matter model on galactic scales. We argue that a scalar gauge singlet coupled to the Higgs boson, which could lead to an invisibly decaying Higgs, is an interesting candidate for this self-interacting dark matter particle. We also present estimates on the abundance of these particles today as well as consequences to non-Newtonian forces.

description: On August 17, 2017 the LIGO-Virgo collaboration detected for the first time gravitational waves from the binary merger of two neutron stars (GW170817). Unlike the merger of two black holes, the associated electromagnetic radiation was also detected by a host of telescopes operating over a wide range of frequencies---opening a brand new era of multimessenger astronomy. This historical detection is providing fundamental new insights into the astrophysical site for the r-process and on the nature of dense matter. In this contribution we examine the impact of GW170817 on the equation of state of neutron rich matter, particularly on the density dependence of the symmetry energy. Limits on the tidal polarizability extracted from GW170817 seem to suggest that the symmetry energy is soft, thereby excluding models that predict overly large stellar radii.

description: We present inelastic neutron scattering data on the quantum paramagnet AgVOAsO4 that establish the system is a S=1/2 alternating spin chain compound and provide a direct measurement of the spin gap. We also present experimental evidence for two different types of field-induced magnetic order between mu_0H_c1 = 8.4T and mu_0H_c2 = 48.9T, which may be related to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of triplons. Thermodynamic measurements in magnetic fields up to 60T and temperatures down to 0.1K reveal a H-T phase diagram consisting of a dome encapsulating two ordered phases with maximum ordering temperatures of 3.8K and 5.3K respectively. This complex phase diagram is not expected for a single-Q BEC system and therefore establishes AgVOAsO4 as a promising multi-Q BEC candidate capable of hosting exotic vortex phases.

description: The pattern of interactions between foot and mouth disease (FMD) viral protein 1 (VP1) with susceptible and resistant host integrins were deciphered. The putative effect of site-directed mutation on alteration of interaction is illustrated using predicted and validated 3D structures of VP1, mutated VP1 and integrins of Bos taurus, Gallus and Canis. Strong interactions were observed between FMDV-VP1 protein motifs at conserved tripeptide, Arg-Gly-Asp 143RGD145 and at domain 676SIPLQ680 in alpha-integrin of Bos taurus. Notably, in-silico site-directed mutation in FMDV-VP1 protein led to complete loss of interaction between FMD-VP1 protein and Bos taurus integrin, which confirmed the active role of Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) domain. Interestingly, in vitro analysis demonstrates the persistence of the putative tropism site “SIPLQ” in different cattle breeds undertaken. Thus, the attempt to decipher the tropism of FMDV at host receptor level interaction might be useful for future FMD control strategies through development of mimetic marker vaccines and/or host receptor manipulations.

description: Potassium (K$^+$) channels regulate the flux of K$^+$ ions through cell membranes and plays significant roles in many physiological functions. This work studies the KcsA potassium channel, including the selectivity and current-voltage (IV) relations. A modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck system is employed, which include the size effect by Bikerman model and solvation energy by Born model. The selectivity of KcsA for various ions (K$^+$, Na$^+$, Cl$^-$, Ca$^{2+}$ and Ba$^{2+}$) is studied analytically, and the profiles of concentrations and electric potential are provided. The selectivity is mainly influenced by permanent negative charges in filter of channel and the ion sizes. K$^+$ is always selected compared with Na$^+$ (or Cl$^-$), as smaller ion size of Na$^+$ causes larger solvation energy. There is a transition for selectivity among K$^+$ and divalent ions (Ca$^{2+}$ and Ba$^{2+}$), when negative charge in filter exceeds a critical value determined by ion size. This explains why divalent ions can block the KcsA channel. The profiles and IV relations are studied by analytical, numerical and hybrid methods, and are cross-validated. The results show the selectivity of the channel and also the saturation of IV curve. A simple strategy is given to compute IV relations analytically, as first approximation. The numerical method deals with general structure or parameters, but the limitations and difficulties of pure numerical simulation are also pointed out. The hybrid method provides IV relations most effectively for comparison. The reason for saturation of IV relation is illustrated, and the IV curve shows agreement with the profile and scale of experimental results.
