Non-linear Yang-Mills instantons from strings are $π$-stable D-branes

description: We show that B-type $Π$-stable D-branes do not in general reduce to the (Gieseker-) stable holomorphic vector bundles used in mathematics to construct moduli spaces. We show that solutions of the almost Hermitian Yang--Mills equations for the non-linear deformations of Yang--Mills instantons that appear in the low-energy geometric limit of strings exist iff they are $π$-stable, a geometric large volume version of $Π$-stability. This shows that $π$-stability is the correct physical stability concept. We speculate that this string-canonical choice of stable objects, which is encoded in and derived from the central charge of the string-\emph{algebra}, should find applications to algebraic geometry where there is no canonical choice of stable \emph{geometrical} objects.

description: Mycotoxin contamination is recognized as an unavoidable risk in agriculture production in both developed and developing countries. Health consequences of aflatoxin are much more serious problem in developing countries than in developed. The number of countries regulating aflatoxins has significantly increased over the years. In paper were discussed different limitations for aflatoxin in the world, as well as their relation to the global maize trade. Following the debate in Serbia, caused by various aflatoxin regulations in different years, we wanted to contribute to the establishment of the state policy that targets mentioned issue. One of main conclusions in paper is that nations with strong trade connections tend to have similar regulations on allowed level of aflatoxin within the maize. Also, it was concluded that incidental appearance of Aspergillus flavus in maize during 2012 in Serbia demonstrates the weakness of the control system, as well as weakness of the national legislation. Main recommendation is oriented to limitation of aflatoxin B1 in animal feed, what is in same time the most effective measure for control of level of aflatoxin M1 in milk. After completing this condition Serbia has to return back the allowed limit for aflatoxin in milk at level of 0,05 μg/kg.

description: Context: Intervention components of a MobileCoach based smartphone app to promote walking were assessed in a seven-week micro-randomized trial (N = 274). In order to make a significant contribution to public health, the app must also engage those at higher risk for adverse health outcomes, i.e. elderly, less active or less healthy participants.
Methods: In a secondary analysis, longitudinal trajectories of participants’ number of daily app sessions were clustered using the k-means algorithm with an alternating number of clusters. An app session was defined as any interaction between a participant and the app separated by at least five minutes between interactions. The final number of clusters was determined based on five different clustering quality criteria.
Results: Two different clusters emerged: stable high engagement (31.3% of participants, 7.6 (SD = 2.9) mean daily app sessions) and stable low engagement (68.7% of participants, 1.5 (SD = 1.4) mean daily app sessions). Highly engaged participants were older (45.8 vs. 40.1 years, p < .001, d = 0.43) and accumulated more steps per day during the study (7373 vs. 5828 steps per day, p < .001, d = 0.57). Clusters did not differ with regard to participants’ baseline physical activity, gender, body mass index, self-reported health status or education.
Conclusions: A chatbot-based walking app engaged participants of a micro-randomized trial over a period of seven weeks independent of their risk for adverse health outcomes. Thus, participants with low risk for adverse health outcomes at baseline do not drive high engagement with the app.

description: The cost-benefit analysis, which contributes to finding best solutions and helps in making decision on acceptability of treatment, has been used as an instrument in the assessment of afforestation impact on the environment. It has been established that a cost-effective investment into Scots pine, Austrian pine and Spruce afforestation is viable solely on the basis of wood production. Wood production, depending on tree species and soil quality, can bear even slightly higher interest rates in the areas of good soil quality in comparison to previous estimates, which mostly ranged around 3%. In the areas of poor soil quality, the interest rates can drop even below the 3% rate. At lower discount rates, the breakeven point is extended in time, whereas at higher discount rates, it is shortened. The length of production cycle performs an important role in determining the costeffectiveness of an investment, particularly from the aspect of the relation between the length of production cycle and production purposes (type and quality of wood assortments that are produced). Based on the analysis of non-quantifiable benefits and costs, it has been established that the benefits surpass the costs, therefore, afforestation projects can be acceptable.

description: Anna Laudau-Czajka's "Polska to nie oni. Polska i Polacy w polskojęzycznej prasie żydowskiej II Rzeczypospolitej" presents a very interesting approach to Jewish-Polish relations in interwar Poland. The book looks at the issues of Polish antisemitism, Jewish patriotism and assimilation by analysing Jewish newspapers published in Polish, making the issue of language the most important element of the study. Landau-Czajka is fully aware of the nuances of Jewish interwar press, understanding the difficulties of her own work and presenting a collection of different case studies that should be treated more as a catalogue of questions than as a list of clear answers (p. 11). She is also aware of the tricky issue of public opinion and the fact that Jewish press published in Polish, though read mostly by acculturated (not assimilated) Jews, cannot be considered as an expression of any universal Jewish perceptions of Poles and Poland (pp. 42-3). It cannot even be considered as an expression of acculturated Jews' opinions, partly because different newspapers presented different opinions, partly because these opinions changed over time.

description: The World Bank, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), USAID and the International Relief/Development Project (IRDP) concluded in different reports that participatory development programs are invariably more effective at addressing local needs and interventions are more often sustained given the engagement of local actors. The main objective of this paper is to present a detailed appraisal of the implementation process of a well-known participatory approach (the UNDP-designed Area-Based Development - ABD) in the challenging context of a rural, cross-border area (in the Western Balkans). Besides reviewing the theoretical and empirical advantages of participatory and endogenous development, this case study reflects the practical shortcomings related to the selection process of a target area and to obtaining commitment from different agents in a post-conflict zone. This article also highlights that adequate implementation of participatory practices is crucial to obtain accurate quantitative and qualitative data (to guide the development agenda) and secure the involvement of both local and (inter)national actors. The latter is an important factor in fostering long-term engagement to development strategies and the achievement of results that are relevant for the local community and in harmony with national policies and international agreements.

description: Trachyspermum ammi L. (bishop’s weed), belonging to Apiaceae family, is used as a condiment in curries, and in folk medicine for its antidiarrheal and anthelmintic properties and as a laxative. The current study was designed to extract and analyze the volatile oil of T. ammi by simultaneous-distillation extraction (SDE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and identify its major constituents by Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Furthermore, the study evaluated the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticholinesterase activities by ultraviolet spectroscopy. Among the 81 prominent peaks observed in GC-MS, the major volatile flavor compounds were thymol (50.04%) > γ-terpinene (19.13%) > ρ-cymene (18.95%) > β-pinene (2.11%) > carvacrol (1.53%). Additionally, ethyl acetate, acetone, and methanol fractions exhibited comparatively high of phenolic and flavonoid contents. These fractions also potently inhibited the DPPH and ABTS free radicals. However, n-hexane, chloroform, and aqueous extracts were shown to provide significant antibacterial, antifungal, and anticholinesterase activities. Hence, T. ammi confirmed to be a rich source of volatiles and phenolics exhibiting significant antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities, and thus, may provide positive health impacts.

description: Recently it has been shown that time-reversal invariant systems with discrete symmetries may display in certain irreducible subspaces spectral statistics corresponding to the Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE) rather than to the expected orthogonal one (GOE). A Kramers type degeneracy is predicted in such situations. We present results for a microwave billiard with a threefold rotational symmetry and with the option to display or break a reflection symmetry. This allows us to observe the change from GOE to GUE statistics for one subset of levels. Since it was not possible to separate the three subspectra reliably, the number variances for the superimposed spectra were studied. The experimental results are compared with a theoretical and numerical study considering the effects of level splitting and level loss.

Special attention was paid to the Value Added Tax Law, primarily from the aspect of family agricultural husbandries, as from the stand point of the rules that were valid under the old VAT Law, as well as based on last amendments and supplements adopted at the end of 2012. Mentioned approach of VAT studying is leaned on fact that it represents modern form of tax applicable in field of consumption. It was implemented primarily to facilitate the reduction of the grey economy, to harmonize national tax policy with European Union (EU) standards, as well as to increase tax collection.

description: We present an approach to synthesize whisper by applying a handcrafted signal processing recipe and Voice Conversion (VC) techniques to convert normally phonated speech to whispered speech. We investigate using Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) and Deep Neural Networks (DNN) to model the mapping between acoustic features of normal speech and those of whispered speech. We evaluate naturalness and speaker similarity of the converted whisper on an internal corpus and on the publicly available wTIMIT corpus. We show that applying VC techniques is significantly better than using rule-based signal processing methods and it achieves results that are indistinguishable from copy-synthesis of natural whisper recordings. We investigate the ability of the DNN model to generalize on unseen speakers, when trained with data from multiple speakers. We show that excluding the target speaker from the training set has little or no impact on the perceived naturalness and speaker similarity of the converted whisper. The proposed DNN method is used in the newly released Whisper Mode of Amazon Alexa.

description: Rock slope destabilization due to warming or thawing permafrost poses a risk to the safety of local communities and infrastructure in populated mountain regions. The analysis of fracture kinematics in the context of local temperature evolution in the longer-term is a common approach aiming to identify its forcing (e.g. Wegmann and Gudmundsson, 1999, Matsuoka and Murton, 2008, Blikra and Christiansen, 2014). Hasler et al. (2012) and Weber et al. (2017) analyzed fracture dilatation data measured at Matterhorn Hörnligrat at 3500 m a.s.l. and suggest thawing related processes, such as meltwater percolation into fractures to cause irreversible displacement. However, this finding so far has not been backed up by data from different instruments or analysis methods. Hence, misinterpretation of the existing data can not reliably be excluded. Based on further data consisting of surface displacements measured with D-GPS, inclinometers, ambient seismic vibrations and ground resistivity captured and compiled over a period of ten years, we apply a multi-data cross validation technique to detect and quantify temperature-induced rock slope dynamics and identify the components of derived process knowledge that predict behavior across differing observation methods. The combined analysis of this multi-modal dataset allows to further develop and analyse our limited understanding of the dominant processes governing rock slope stability, in our case a steep bedrock mountain permafrost buttress.

Based on this evidence we conclude that the kinematics observed at the surface in the winter/refreezing period is negligible compared to those observed during spring initiated by the thawing and mobilization of fluid water w.r.t. destabilization and precursory signs of rockfall at a larger scale. Therefore, future research should focus on the quantification of water supply, distribution and mobility both in the frozen and fluid state.

description: Współczesny świat to świat mediów. Autorka „Radiomaryjnego wzorca demokracji", Izabela Tomala-Kaźmierczak, we wstępie do recenzowanej pracy zauważa, iż „dekodowanie przekazów medialnych oddziałuje na konstrukcję naszych światów społecznych. Media stanowią tym samym cenny oręż w walce o 'przywództwo dusz'. Można powiedzieć, że ten, kto 'ma media', ma władzę nad drugim człowiekiem, a dokładniej nad postrzeganiem rzeczywistości przez tego człowieka" (s. 9). Media kształtują więc, w mniejszym bądź większym stopniu, otaczający nas świat, zarówno w wymiarze niematerialnym, jak też materialnym. Przykładem może być wpływ afery Watergate na politykę. Warto również wspomnieć o roli mediów (szczególnie społecznościowych) w wydarzeniach tzw. „Arabskiej Wiosny Ludów" (lata 2010-2013) – ułatwiły one m.in. mobilizację uczestników oraz przełamanie ciszy informacyjnej.

We show that the movement of a breather is hindered by the bending of the chain as a particle in a potential barrier. We have also found that the behaviour of moving breathers in an homogeneous bent chain and in a straight chain with a small impurity is qualitatively equivalent.

description: There is a ongoing debate whether generic early warning signals for critical transitions exist that can be applied across diverse systems. The human epileptic brain is often considered as a prototypical system, given the devastating and, at times, even life-threatening nature of the extreme event epileptic seizure. More than three decades of international effort has successfully identified predictors of imminent seizures. However, the suitability of typically applied early warning indicators for critical slowing down, namely variance and lag-1 autocorrelation, for indexing seizure susceptibility is still controversially discussed. Here, we investigated long-term, multichannel recordings of brain dynamics from 28 subjects with epilepsy. Using a surrogate-based evaluation procedure of sensitivity and specificity of time-resolved estimates of early warning indicators, we found no evidence for critical slowing down prior to 105 epileptic seizures.

description: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) stands as a versatile thermoplastic polymer widely used across diverse industries, ranging from household appliances to automotive components and packaging. Despite its advantageous properties, such as durability and chemical resistance, HDPE faces challenges related to poor weather resistance. To overcome these limitations and enhance HDPE's performance while maintaining cost-effectiveness, various filler materials have been explored. Natural fibers like sisal, kenaf, and bagasse, among others, have been investigated for their potential as fillers to blend with HDPE, as reported in existing literature. Rice husks (RH), a byproduct of rice milling, represent a particularly abundant filler material. Incorporating RH into HDPE matrices offers an opportunity to improve its properties and widen its application spectrum. In this paper, we explore the feasibility and effectiveness of utilizing RH as a filler for enhancing HDPE's performance. Drawing upon previous studies and reviews, we analyze the impact of RH filler on HDPE properties, including mechanical strength, thermal stability, and weather resistance. Through a comprehensive examination of the literature, we highlight the potential benefits and challenges associated with RH-filled HDPE composites. Additionally, we discuss various processing techniques and formulations employed in the fabrication of RH-filled HDPE composites, aiming to optimize their performance and compatibility. By synthesizing findings from different research works, this study provides valuable insights into the utilization of RH as a sustainable filler material for enhancing the properties of HDPE and expanding its application range in diverse industrial sectors

description: Of the myriad ways in which the Soviet Union attempted to exert control over its new vassal states in Eastern Europe after the Second World War, the use of 'soft power' – which US political scientist Joseph Nye described as 'the power of attraction'[1] – is undoubtedly the least studied. It is this topic that Texas-based historian Patryk Babiracki turns his attention to in his first book-length study, which forms part of 'The New Cold War History' series published by the University of North Carolina Press.

description: The challenges of returning to work after sickness absence demands a wide conceptual understanding of what hinders the employee’s work participation. Thus, there is a need to know more about self-perceived barriers for Return to Work (RTW). This study aimed to investigate RTW barriers experienced by employees on long-term sick leave, through the lens of the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO). The study was a large-scale qualitative interview study (n = 85) using semi-structured telephone interviews. Eligible participants had received sick leave benefits for between 6 months and 1.5 years. The data were analysed with quantitative and qualitative content analysis. A deductive approach using the MOHO concepts guided the analysis process. The study generated 941 coded meaning units describing barriers for RTW, of which we were able to code 895 within the framework of MOHO. In the person-specific concepts, performance capacity barriers were most often described (n = 303), followed by volitional barriers (n = 165) and barriers related to habituation (n = 66). Barriers related to the environmental components amounted to 361. Barriers in the occupational environment was dominant (n = 214). Experienced barriers related to both environmental components and person-specific concepts. The habituational and volitional perspective on barriers can contribute to the identification and communication of performance capacity-related barriers not previously identified.

description: We introduce a new family of Poisson vertex algebras $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{a})$ analogous to the classical $\mathcal{W}$-algebras. The algebra $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{a})$ is associated with the centralizer $\mathfrak{a}$ of an arbitrary nilpotent element in $\mathfrak{gl}_N$. We show that $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{a})$ is an algebra of polynomials in infinitely many variables and produce its free generators in an explicit form. This implies that $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{a})$ is isomorphic to the center at the critical level of the affine vertex algebra associated with $\mathfrak{a}$.

description: Data from a 1979 New York survey were analyzed to develop a systematic multivariate typology of small farmers (i.e., operators of small farm businesses) which would be useful in designing and targeting public program. Farm business size, operator's age, and off-farm employment were the most important dimensions of variation. A typology was constructed by successive dichotomization of low and moderate sales volume farms; operators 49 years of age and under, and 50 and over; and families with and without off-farm income. Means for economic and social indicators were computed for each of the resulting eight categories. Low sales volume farm families with relatively old operators and without off-farm employment were found to experience very low total family incomes. Suggestions are made regarding how public extension and research program:; may be developed and targeted with specific categories of the most needy small farmers in mind.

description: The abundance of short-period planetary systems with high orbital obliquities relative to the spin of their host stars is often taken as evidence that scattering processes play important roles in the formation and evolution of these systems. More recent studies have suggested that wide binary companions can tilt protoplanetary disks, inducing a high stellar obliquity that form through smooth processes like disk migration. DS Tuc Ab, a transiting planet with an 8.138 day period in the 40 Myr Tucana-Horologium association, likely orbits in the same plane as its now-dissipated protoplanetary disk, enabling us to test these theories of disk physics. Here, we report on Rossiter-McLaughlin observations of one transit of DS Tuc Ab with the Planet Finder Spectrograph on the Magellan Clay Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. We confirm the previously detected planet by modeling the planet transit and stellar activity signals simultaneously. We test multiple models to describe the stellar activity-induced radial velocity variations over the night of the transit, finding the obliquity to be low: $λ= 12 \pm 13$ degrees, suggesting that this planet likely formed through smooth disk processes and its protoplanetary disk was not significantly torqued by DS Tuc B. The specific stellar activity model chosen affects the results at the $\approx 5$ degree level. This is the youngest planet to be observed using this technique; we provide a discussion on best practices to accurately measure the observed signal of similar young planets.

description: Die deutsch-polnischen Beziehungen der vergangenen beiden Jahrhunderte sind geprägt von Nationalismen und Ressentiments, ja ohne deren politische Instrumentalisierung gar nicht vorstellbar. Ausgehend von einem Workshop am Dresdner Hannah-Arendt-Institut, hat Johannes Frackowiak nun einen Sammelband herausgegeben, der sich dem Thema in zwölf Beiträgen nähert. Es handelt sich hauptsächlich um sehr nützliche Überblicksdarstellungen, die eine teils umfangreiche Sekundärliteratur zusammenfassen, teils aber auch eigene Forschungsergebnisse präsentieren.

description: In this work, the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out by using Zanthoxylum rhesta plant’s fruit extract for the first time. The green synthesis and in situ deposition of AgNPs on cellulose fibers in cotton was carried out by wet and sonochemical methods. The AgNPs and AgNPs-deposited cotton fabrics were fully characterized. The crystallite size of particles obtained by both methods was around 37 nm and the hydrodynamic diameters were in the range of 69 to 184 nm and 75 to 111 nm. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed uniform deposition of the nanoparticles on cotton fabrics. The AgNPs-deposited cotton fabrics showed excellent antibacterial activities against gram positive and gram negative bacteria namely, Escherichia coli (E-coli), Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus subtilis. This work presents a significant advancement in the preparation of antimicrobial nanotextiles by a smart combination of green synthesis and in situ deposition approach.
Impact of uncertainties of unbound $^{10}$Li on the ground state of two-neutron halo $^{11}$Li

description: Recently, the energy spectrum of $^{10}$Li was measured upto 4.6 MeV, via one-neutron transfer reaction d($^{9}$Li, p)$^{10}$Li. Considering the ambiguities on the $^{10}$Li continuum spectrum with reference to new data, we report the configuration mixing in the ground state of the two-neutron halo nucleus $^{11}$Li for two different choices of the $^{9}$Li$+$n potential. For the present study, we employ a three-body (core$+$n$+$n) structure model developed for describing the two-neutron halo system by explicit coupling of unbound continuum states of the subsystem (core$+$n), and discuss the two-neutron correlations in the ground state of $^{11}$Li.

description: Recenzowana praca wieloaspektowo analizuje lokalny konflikt społeczny, formalnie toczący się wokół problemów środowiskowych, choć faktycznie wokół sprzeczności interesów publicznych i partykularnych. Oprócz walorów teoretycznych, posiada także walory praktyczne. Te wydają się wypływać z analizy zaangażowania różnych aktorów w konflikt. Sformułowane na tej podstawie wnioski – w szczególności dotyczące motywacji (interesów), sposobu zaangażowania, uzyskanych rezultatów (korzyści) mogą dać praktyczne wskazówki lokalnym społecznościom znajdującym się w podobnej sytuacji jak rozwiązywać, a nie jedynie wygaszać konflikty.
The Competitive Position of Tourism in the Northeast, 1972-1977

description: The shift-share approach is used to examine changes in the competitive position nationally of tourism in the Northeast, using lodging receipts as an index of tourism. The Northeast share of national lodging receipts, which declined from 1972 to 1977, was heavily influenced by a lack of substantive growth in New England and the Middle Atlantic regions. This parallels population trends, but does not necessarily reflect a dismal future for tourism in the Northeast.
Quantum distillation in QCD

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We propose a grading protocol which assigns global symmetry associated phases to states in the Hilbert space. Without modifying the Hilbert space, this changes the state sum, a process that we call quantum distillation. We describe the image of quantum distillation in path integral in terms of (non-dynamical) flavor holonomy dependence of (dynamical) gauge holonomy potentials, in QCD with $N_f=N_c$ fundamental and one massive adjoint fermion on $\mathbb R^3 \times S^1$. The compactified theory possesses an exact zero-form color-flavor center symmetry for a special choice of flavor holonomy (under which Polyakov loop is charged), despite the absence of one-form center-symmetry. We prove that the CFC symmetry is stable at small-$β$. This is the opposite of the high-temperature limit of thermal theory and a dramatic manifestation of quantum distillation. We show chiral symmetry breaking at small $S^1$ and that the vacuum structure of the theory on $\mathbb R^4$ and $\mathbb R^3 \times S^1$ are controlled by the same mixed 't Hooft anomaly condition.

description: In times of 'big choices' to be made (again) in European politics, framed by the manifold challenges– from financial and migration to 'Brexit' and security crises, the policymaker and expert community's attention is drawn 'back to Europe and the EU's neighbourhood'. Tulmets' (2014) richly sourced and thoroughly researched comparative account of East Central European foreign policy identity may well facilitate understanding of CEE countries' past and future choices, particularly with regard to the EU's turbulent neighbourhoods.

description: A hierarchy of infinite-dimensional systems of hydrodynamic type is considered and a general scheme for classifying its reductions is provided. Wide families of integrable systems including, in particular, those associated with energy-dependent spectral problems of Schr\" odinger type, are characterized as reductions of this hierarchy. $N$-phase type reductions and their corresponding Dubrovin equations are analyzed. A symmetry transformation connecting different classes of reductions is formulated.

description: Charged Higgs boson production in association with a top quark could be the first indication of the existence of Higgs particles. The Tevatron Run-II started data-taking in April 2001 at a centre-of-mass energy of 1960 GeV and could probe the existence of a charged Higgs boson beyond the current mass limit. We study the ppbar -> tbH^+/- production process with Monte Carlo simulations in HERWIG and PYTHIA, comparing expected cross sections and basic selection variables.

description: The chaotic synchronization between two bi-directionally coupled external cavity single-mode semiconductor lasers is investigated. Numerical simulation shows that anticipating synchronization and lag synchronization coexist in certain parameter regime. The anticipating time with different effects that were discussed quite differently in the previous theoretical analysis and experimental observation is determined by the involved parameters in the system.

description: The dairy sector is an important component of rural economies in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), providing vital employment and income, in an environment of weak social security and scarce job opportunities. Dairy farming in the CIS encompasses a wide diversity of farms: from 1 and 2 cow units, selling via village collecting stations, which provide an important subsidiary income for vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly, up to ‘super-large’ corporate farms, some of which have witnessed significant recent investment and control thousands of hectares. The Supporting the International Development of CIS Agriculture (SIDCISA) project has sought to understand the Supply Chain Relationships (SCR) of this diverse range of commercial milk producers. In particular we seek to analyse the degree of satisfaction with SCR and analyse the linkages between procurement practices and satisfaction, growth and investment. As far as we are aware this is the first comprehensive, cross-national survey of dairy farming in the CIS. This paper presents an overview of key findings from survey work conducted in Armenia, Moldova and the Dnepropetrovsk region of Ukraine. A more detailed presentation of the context of the study and results are available elsewhere.
