description: [Context] Micro-Frontends are increasing in popularity, being adopted by several large companies, such as DAZN, Ikea, Starbucks and may others. Micro-Frontends enable splitting of monolithic frontends into independent and smaller micro applications. However, many companies are still hesitant to adopt Micro-Frontends, due to the lack of knowledge concerning their benefits. Additionally, provided online documentation is often times perplexed and contradictory. [Objective] The goal of this work is to map the existing knowledge on Micro-Frontends, by understanding the motivations of companies when adopting such applications as well as possible benefits and issues. [Method] We conducted a Multivocal Literature Review, analyzing 43 sources , and classifying motivations, benefits and issues. [Results] The results show that existing architectural options to build web applications are cumbersome if the application and development team grows, and if multiple teams need to develop the same frontend application. The application of the Micro-Frontend, confirmed the expected benefits, and Micro-Frontends resulted to provide the same benefits as microservices on the back end side, combining the development team into a fully cross-functional development team that can scale processes when needed. However, Micro-Frontends also showed some issues, such as the increased payload size of the application, increased code duplication and coupling between teams, and monitoring complexity. [Conclusions] Micro-Frontends allow companies to scale development according to business needs in the same way microservices do with the back end side. In addition, ...

description: We report the discovery of a fifth image in the large separation lensed quasar system SDSS J1004+4112. A faint point source located 0.2'' from the center of the brightest galaxy in the lensing cluster is detected in images taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) on the Hubble Space Telescope. The flux ratio between the point source and the brightest lensed component in the ACS image is similar to that in the NICMOS image. The location and brightness of the point source are consistent with lens model predictions for a lensed image. We therefore conclude that the point source is likely to be a fifth image of the source quasar. In addition, the NICMOS image reveals the lensed host galaxy of the source quasar, which can strongly constrain the structure of the lensing critical curves and thereby the mass distribution of the lensing cluster.

description: Increasing of population in some part of the world demands appropriate quantity and quality of food supply. It leads agri-food production to changes having many of the characteristics of manufacturing industries. So, together with the advantages we have to manage also different deficiencies. The changing business climate is creating new agriculture with new risks. And some of these risks require new approaches and different perspectives to evaluate and manage them adequately. The new risks create both challenges and opportunities for agri-food producers and those who finance them. Furthermore, the common perception is that vertical linkages through contract production will also reduce risks quality and quantity. The industrialization of agriculture is likely to compound the risk and uncertainty related to the effectiveness of markets in providing a clear model to consumers and suppliers in the food chain concerning prices, quantities and qualities of products and attributes. Governments and industry have to work jointly to integrate all production elements that investors and customers can be confident in ability to succeed today and into the future.

description: Productive teaming is the new form of human-robot interaction. The multimodal 3D imaging has a key role in this to gain a more comprehensive understanding of production system as well as to enable trustful collaboration from the teams. For a complete scene capture, the registration of the image modalities is required. Currently, low-cost RGB-D sensors are often used. These come with a closed source registration function. In order to have an efficient and freely available method for any sensors, we have developed a new method, called Triangle-Mesh-Rasterization-Projection (TMRP). To verify the performance of our method, we compare it with the closed-source projection function of the Azure Kinect Sensor (Microsoft). The qualitative comparison showed that both methods produce almost identical results. Minimal differences at the edges indicate that our TMRP interpolation is more accurate. With our method, a freely available open-source registration method is now available that can be applied to almost any multimodal 3D/2D image dataset and is not like the Microsoft SDK optimized for Microsoft products.

description: We report on the inclusive branching fractions of $B^-$ and of ${\bar B}^0$ mesons decaying to ${D^0 X}$, ${{\bar D}^0 X}$, ${D^+ X}$, ${D^- X}$, ${D_s^+ X}$, ${D_s^- X}$, ${Λ_c^+ X}$, ${{\bar Λ}_c^- X}$, based on a sample of 88.9 million $B \bar B$ events recorded with the $BABAR$ detector at the $Υ(4S)$ resonance. Events are selected by completely reconstructing one $B$ and searching for a reconstructed charmed particle in the rest of the event. We measure the number of charmed and of anti-charmed particles per $B$ decay and derive the total charm yield per $B^-$ decay, $n_c^- = 1.313 \pm 0.037 \pm 0.062 ^{+0.063}_{-0.042} $, and per ${\bar B}^0$ decay, $n_c^0 = 1.276 \pm 0.062 \pm 0.058 ^{+0.066}_{-0.046}$ where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third reflects the charm branching-fraction uncertainties.

description: Intensity interferometry of thermal photons, having transverse momenta $k_T \approx $ 0.1 -- 2.0 GeV, produced in relativistic collision of heavy nuclei is studied. It is seen to provide an accurate information about the temporal and spatial structure of the interacting system. The source dimensions and their $k_T$ dependence revealed by the photon interferometry, display a richness not seen in pion interferometry. We attribute this to difference in the source functions, the fact that photons come out from every stage of the collision and from every point in the system, and the fact that the rate of production of photons is different for the quark-gluon plasma, which dominates the early hot stage, and the hadronic matter which populates the last phase of the collision dynamics. The usefulness of this procedure is demonstrated by an application to collision of lead nuclei at the CERN SPS. Prediction for the transverse momentum dependence of the sizes for SPS, RHIC, and LHC energies are given.

description: We investigate the task of malformed object classification in an industrial setting, where the term ‘malformed’ encompasses objects that are misshapen, distorted, corroded or broken. Recognizing whether such an object can be repaired, taken apart so that its components can be used otherwise, or dispatched for recycling, is a difficult classification task. Despite the progress of artificial intelligence for the classification of objects based on images, the classification of malformed objects still demands human involvement, because each such object is unique. Ideally, the intelligent machine should demand expert support only when it is uncertain about the class. But what if the human is also uncertain? Such a case must be recognized before being dealt with. Goal of this research thread is to establish a reference dataset on human uncertainty for such a classification problem and to derive indicators of uncertainty from sensory inputs. To this purpose, we designed an experiment for an object classification scenario where the uncertainty can be directly linked to the difficulty of labelling each object. By thus controlling uncertainty, we intend to build up a reference dataset and investigate how different sensory inputs can serve as uncertainty indicators for these data.

M-theory and Gauged Supergravities

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a pedagogical discussion of the emergence of gauged supergravities from M-theory. First, a review of maximal supergravity and its global symmetries and supersymmetric solutions is given. Next, different procedures of dimensional reduction are explained: reductions over a torus, a group manifold and a coset manifold and reductions with a twist. Emphasis is placed on the consistency of the truncations, the resulting gaugings and the possibility to generate field equations without an action. Using these techniques, we construct a number of gauged maximal supergravities in diverse dimensions with a string or M-theory origin. One class consists of the CSO gaugings, which comprise the analytic continuations and group contractions of SO(n) gaugings. We construct the corresponding half-supersymmetric domain walls and discuss their uplift to D- and M-brane distributions. Furthermore, a number of gauged maximal supergravities are constructed that do not have an action.

Benchmarking Hamiltonian Noise in the D-Wave Quantum Annealer
Creators: name: Zaborniak, Tristan
name: de Sousa, Rogério
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Various sources of noise limit the performance of quantum computers by altering qubit states in an uncontrolled manner throughout computations and reducing their coherence time. In quantum annealers, this noise introduces additional fluctuations to the parameters defining the original problem Hamiltonian, such that they find the ground states of problems perturbed from those originally programmed. Here we describe a method to benchmark the amount of noise affecting the programmed Hamiltonian of a quantum annealer. We show that a sequence of degenerate runs with the coefficients of the programmed Hamiltonian set to zero leads to an estimate of the noise spectral density affecting Hamiltonian parameters "in situ" during the quantum annealing protocol. The method is demonstrated in D-Wave's lower noise 2000 qubit device (DW_2000Q_6) and in its recently released 5000 qubit device (Advantage_system1.1). Our benchmarking of DW_2000Q_6 shows Hamiltonian noise dominated by the $1/f^{0.7}$ frequency dependence characteristic of flux noise intrinsic to the materials forming flux qubits. In contrast, Advantage_system1.1 is found to be affected by additional noise sources for low annealing times, with underlying intrinsic flux noise amplitudes $2-3$ times higher than in DW_2000Q_6 for all annealing times.

Evidence for Supernova light in all Gamma-Ray Burst afterglows

description: We present an update of our systematic analysis of all Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow data, now published through the end of 2004, in an attempt to detect the predicted supernova light component. We fit the observed photometric light curves as the sum of an afterglow, an underlying host galaxy, and a supernova component. The latter is modeled using published UBVRI light curves of SN 1998bw as a template. The total sample of afterglows with established redshifts contains now 29 bursts (GRB 970228 - GRB 041006). For 13 of them a weak supernova excess (scaled to SN 1998bw) was found. In agreement with our earlier result (Zeh et al. 2004) we find that also in the updated sample all bursts with redshift < 0.7 show a supernova excess in their afterglow light curves. The general lack of a detection of a supernova component at larger redshifts can be explained with selection effects. These results strongly support our previous conclusion based on all afterglow data of the years 1997 to 2002 that in fact all afterglows of long-duration GRBs contain light from an associated supernova.

description: We present an update of the lunar occultation program which is routinely carried out in the near-IR at the Calar Alto Observatory. A total of 350 events were recorded since our last report (Fors et al. 2004). In the course of eight runs we have observed, among others, late-type giants, T-Tauri stars, and infrared sources. Noteworthy was a passage of the Moon close to the galactic center, which produced a large number of events during just a few hours in July 2004. Results include the determinations of the angular diameter of RZ Ari, and the projected separations and brightness ratios for one triple and 13 binary stars, almost all of which representing first time detections. Projected separations range from 0.09arcsec to 0.007arcsec. We provide a quantitative analysis of the performance achieved in our observations in terms of angular resolution and sensitivity, which reach about 0.003arcsec and K~8.5mag, respectively. We also present a statistical discussion of our sample, and in particular of the frequency of detection of binaries among field stars.

description: Food purchasing in Brazil has undergone major changes in the last few decades caused by structural shifts such as urbanization, changes in demographic characteristics and increase in participation of women in the labor force. Therefore, it is necessary to identify thoroughly new consumption patterns of families, especially concerning determinants of food purchasing decision. The objective of this study was to understand the consumption pattern of Brazilian families for food products by means of a qualitative response variable model including eighteen food products using POF 2002/2003 data. The Probit model was chosen to estimate this decision. Estimation results showed that purchasing probabilities of staple foods were negative related to family monthly income, while meat, milk and other products showed a positive relation. Regional, educational and urbanization variables were also important. Households whose head is a woman have smaller purchasing probabilities in most commodities in the sample.
Transformations : the spiritual dimension of learning recovery from addictions
Creators: name: Marie, Victoria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Spirituality has been largely unexplored as a factor in recovery from addictions. This research investigates the recovery experiences of professionals and volunteers who work in the area of recovery services in order to explore the role of spirituality in the learning processes that transformed them from substance abusers into individuals who abstain from using their drug of choice. The participants in this study are former addicts who now serve as outreach workers, mentors, peer and professional counsellors to people with addictions. This study explores the questions of how powerlessness and surrender translate into sustained recovery as well as how helping others assists in maintaining one's own abstinence from drugs and alcohol. The primary research question is: What can this study tell us about the role of spirituality in the learning process of recovery from addictions? The research methodology included in-depth semi-structured interviews, informal conversations and self study. Through exploring the participants' stories and further examination of the literature, this study deepens understanding of the role of spirituality in recovery from addictions and presents spirituality as the catalyst that influenced the participants to compassionate service with people still in active addiction.

description: This paper shows various approaches for determining acoustic (dis-)similarity based on room acoustic parameter values derived from real measurements. The similarity is calculated across different room configurations and/or between different microphone-loudspeaker positions within the same room configuration. We compare supervised (LDA, Random Forrest) and unsupervised techniques (PCA, SPPA) and pre-selected visualizations in terms of their ability to exhibit inter- and intra-room (dis-)similarities. The data set generated comprises spatially high-resolution room impulse responses obtained from multiple source-receiver positions within a room configuration. The room acoustics are varied by introducing active walls and geometries accounting for specific room configurations. The results show that the separation of room configurations primarily relies on specific acoustic parameters, with the reverberation time playing an important role. Within a given room configuration, the acoustic parameters excluding the reverberation time mainly capture the orientation and distance between the source and receiver.

description: This paper examines dynamic changes in educational quality and equity differences in the public school system between Black and other racial groups in post-apartheid South Africa, using the ratio of learners to educators in each school, available from the School Register of Needs, 1996 and 2000. The analysis incorporates school-and community-level unobservables and the endogenous movement of learners. This paper shows that (1) the learner-educator ratios significantly differ between formerly Black and White primary and secondary schools in 1996 and 2000, and (2) in the adjustment of educators in response to changes in the number of learners in this period, there are significant differences between formerly Black and non-Black (White, Coloured, and Indian) primary schools. The opportunities for education in public schools are still unequal between Black and White children, even after apartheid. Given that school quality affects returns to schooling and earning opportunities in labor markets, the inequality causes income inequality between Black and White. The empirical result calls for stronger policy intervention to support Black schools and children in South Africa.

description: We report on the first radioactive beam experiment performed at the recently commissioned REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN in conjunction with the highly efficient gamma spectrometer MINIBALL. Using 30Mg ions accelerated to an energy of 2.25 MeV/u together with a thin nat-Ni target, Coulomb excitation of the first excited 2+ states of the projectile and target nuclei well below the Coulomb barrier was observed. From the measured relative de-excitation gamma ray yields the B(E2; 0+ -> 2+) value of 30Mg was determined to be 241(31) e2fm4. Our result is lower than values obtained at projectile fragmentation facilities using the intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation method, and confirms the theoretical conjecture that the neutron-rich magnesium isotope 30Mg lies still outside the ``island of inversion''.

description: This paper examines the determinants of assets at marriage in rural Ethiopia. We identify and test three separate processes that determine assets brought to marriage: assortative matching, compensating parental transfers at marriage, and strategic behavior by parents. We find ample evidence for the first, none for the second, and some evidence of the third for brides. We also find no evidence of competition for parental assets among siblings. Results suggest that parents do not transfer wealth to children in ways that compensate for marriage market outcomes. Certain parents, however, give more assets to daughters whenever doing so increases the chances of a daughter marrying a wealthy groom.

description: This study attempts to analyze changing patterns of land transfers and schooling investments by gender over three generations in customary land areas of Ghana's Western Region. Although traditional matrilineal inheritance rules deny landownership rights to women, women have increasingly acquired land through gifts and other means, thereby reducing the gender gap in landownership. The gender gap in schooling has also declined significantly, though it persists. We attribute such changes to the increase in women's bargaining power due to an agricultural technology that increased the demand for women's labor, contributing to the reduction of "social" discrimination as well as weak "parental" discrimination.

description: We investigate the hadron-quark phase transition in cold neutron stars in light of (i) the observed limits on the maximum-mass of heavy pulsars, (ii) constraints on the tidal properties inferred from the gravitational waves emitted in binary neutron-star mergers, and (iii) mass and radius constraints derived from the observation of hot spots on neutron star observed with NICER. Special attention is directed to the possible presence of $Δ(1232)$ baryons in neutron star matter. Our results indicate that this particle could make up a large fraction of the baryons in neutron stars and thus have a significant effect on the properties of such objects, particularly on their radii. This is partially caused by the low density appearance of $Δ$s for a wide range of theoretically defensible sets of meson-hyperon, SU(3) ESC08 model, and meson-$Δ$ coupling constants. The transition of hadronic matter to quark matter, treated in the 2SC+s condensation phase, is found to occur only in neutron stars very close to the mass peak. Nevertheless, quark matter may still constitute an appreciable fraction of the stars' total matter if the phase transition is treated as Maxwell-like (sharp), in which case the neutron stars located beyond the gravitational mass peak would remain stable against gravitational collapse. In this case, the instability against gravitational collapse is shifted to a new (terminal) mass different from the maximum-mass of the stellar sequence, giving rise to stable compact objects with the same gravitational masses as those of the neutron stars on the traditional branch, but whose radii are smaller by up to 1 km. All models for the equation of state of our study fall comfortably within the bound established very recently by Annala {\it et al.} (Nature Physics, 2020)

description: We present an analysis of the results of long-term multi-band photometric monitoring of the enigmatic star, KIC 8462852. Observations in the $B$, $g'$, $V$, $r'$ and $I_C$ passbands have been acquired at University College London Observatory (UCLO) between May 2017 and September 2018. We interrogate the wavelength dependence of the $\sim$month-long dimming and brightening exhibited by the target star over an 85-day interval, immediately following a days-long $\sim5$ per cent drop in brightness on Julian Date (JD) 2458203. Between JD 2458215--300 we measure brightness variations which correspond to relative extinctions of $A_B/A_V = 1.39\pm0.27$, $A_{g'}/A_V = 1.16\pm0.11$, $A_{r'}/A_V = 0.80\pm0.25$ and $A_{Ic}/A_V = 0.49\pm0.19$, from which we infer an Angström absorption coefficient of $1.33\pm0.43$ ($R_V \simeq 3.2^{+2.6}_{-1.0}$). As with the days-long `dips', the wavelength dependence of the longer-term brightness variations must also be associated with extinction arising from a dust distribution containing a substantial fraction of sub-micron-sized grains. This implies some common mechanism is responsible for the star's variability over both these short and longer timescales.

description: Certain families of combinatorial objects admit recursive descriptions in terms of generating trees: each node of the tree corresponds to an object, and the branch leading to the node encodes the choices made in the construction of the object. Generating trees lead to a fast computation of enumeration sequences (sometimes, to explicit formulae as well) and provide efficient random generation algorithms. We investigate the links between the structural properties of the rewriting rules defining such trees and the rationality, algebraicity, or transcendence of the corresponding generating function.

description: While many community-driven development (CDD) initiatives may be successful, their impact is often limited by their small scale. Building on past and ongoing work on CDD, this study addresses the fundamental question: how can CDD initiatives motivate and empower the greatest number of communities to take control of their own development? What are the key contextual factors, institutional arrangements, capacity elements, and processes related to successful scaling-up of CDD, and, conversely, what are the main constraints or limiting factors, in different contexts? Drawing upon recent literature and the findings from five case studies, key lessons on how best to stimulate, facilitate, and support the scaling-up of CDD in different situations, along with some major challenges, are highlighted. Lessons include the need for donors and supporters of CDD, including governments, to think of the process beyond the project, and of transformation or transition rather than exit. Donor push and community pull factors need to be balanced to prevent "supply-driven, demand-driven development." Overall, capacity is pivotal to successful CDD and its successful scaling-up over time. Capacity is more than simply resources, however; it also includes motivation and commitment, which, in turn, require appropriate incentives at all levels. Capacity development takes time and resources, but it is an essential upfront and ongoing investment, with the capacity and commitment of facilitators and local leaders being particularly important. A "learning by doing" culture-one that values adaptation, flexibility, and openness to change needs to be fostered at all levels, with time horizons adjusted accordingly. The building of a library of well-documented, context-specific experiences through good monitoring, evaluation, and operational research will be useful in advocating for improvements in the contextual environment. Ultimately, for CDD to be sustained, it should be anchored within existing contextual systems (government), frameworks (e.g., PRSP), and processes (decentralization), even where these are imperfect.

description: Excerpts from the report: Bananas are one of the few perishable products handled without packaging between the point of production and the wholesale outlet. Bunches are handled in bulk and require individual attention through every handling step from the plantation to the warehouses of wholesale distributors. Handling operations such as receiving, ripening, cutting, and packing require varying amounts of labor and different combinations of materials-handling equipment. Labor-saving devices and efficient handling methods should lower the distribution costs. This study therefore was undertaken to (1) measure the relative efficiency of various work methods, including types or combinations of types of materials-handling equipment, for performing the handling operations; (2) determine the kinds and amounts of equipment needed by dealers for efficient handling of differing volumes of business; (3) appraise comparative labor and equipment costs of handling varying volumes of fruit through facilities of different sizes and designs with different methods and types of equipment; and (4) develop improved facility layouts and designs for the use of different handling methods and equipment.

description: The NuTeV collaboration has made an independent determination of the Weinberg angle by measuring charged and neutral-current cross sections from neutrino and antineutrino DIS on iron. Their value differs by 3 standard deviations from that obtained from measurements at the Z pole. We review this experiment and assess various possible explanations for this result, both within the Standard Model ("old physics") and outside the Standard Model ("new physics").

Molecular Self-Assembly of Methyl and Methoxy Substituted Benzoic Acids on Calcite(10.4) and Non-Equilibrium Structures of C60 on CaF2(111)

description: Research into nano materials is important for the future development of functional devices. Molecular self-assembly has been recognized as a promising tool in this endeavour, with insulating surfaces being particularly interesting for molecular electronics.

Dynamic atomic force microscopy (AFM) in ultrahigh vacuum provides an excellent
tool to study two dimensional self-assembled structures in a controlled environment. A precise understanding of the influence of the molecular structure on the self-assembly process is necessary in order to create specific structures on insulating surfaces. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to predict the influence of small changes in the molecular structure on self-assembly. The structural variability is also lacking, due to self-assembled structures being confined to the thermodynamic equilibrium, and self-organised structures being inherently thermodynamically unstable.

This thesis addresses both the influence of molecular structure on self assembly as well as the problem of structural variability.

For the exploration of new molecular structures the existing knowledge of the self-
assembly of benzoic acids on the calcite (10.4) surface is expanded by studying methoxy and methyl substituted benzoic acids on the same surface. Here, interesting new structures are found and unexpected changes to the intermolecular interactions are revealed.

To create new structures for a given molecule-surface pairing, kinetically trapped non- equilibrium structures of C60 on the CaF2 surface are explored by variation of the preparation pathway. By comparing kinetic Monte Carlo simulations (kMC) with AFM experiments, the responsible molecular process could be identified.

In summary, this thesis provides new insights into the molecular self-assembly on insulators, as well as a new avenue to increased structural variability on surfaces.

description: Two-particle correlation functions, involving protons, deuterons, tritons, and alpha-particles, have been measured at very forward angles (0.7 deg < theta_lab < 7 deg), in order to study projectile-like fragment (PLF) emission in E/A = 44 and 77 MeV 40Ar + 27Al collisions. Peaks, originating from resonance decays, are larger at E/A = 44 than at 77 MeV. This reflects the larger relative importance of independently emitted light particles, as compared to two-particle decay from unstable fragments, at the higher beam energy. The time sequence of the light charged particles, emitted from the PLF, has been deduced from particle-velocity-gated correlation functions (discarding the contribution from resonance decays). Alpha-particles are found to have an average emission time shorter than protons but longer than tritons and deuterons.

description: Using district-level data for 1992, 1995, and 1999, the study estimated effects of different types of government expenditure on agricultural growth and rural poverty in Uganda. The results reveal that government spending on agricultural research and extension improved agricultural production substantially. This type of expenditure had the largest measured returns to growth in agricultural production. Agricultural research and extension spending also has the largest assessed impact on poverty reduction. Government spending on rural roads also had substantial marginal impact on rural poverty reduction. The impact of low-grade roads such as feeder roads is larger than that of high-grade roads such as murram and tarmac roads. Education's effects rank after agricultural research and extension, and roads. Government spending in health did not show a large impact on growth in agricultural productivity or a reduction in rural poverty, but in part because of difficulties in measuring some of the impacts of this type of investment. Additional investments in the northern region (a poor region) contribute the most to reducing poverty. The poverty-reduction effect of spending on infrastructure and education is particularly high in this region. However, it is the western region (a relatively well-developed region) where most types of investment have highest returns in terms of increased agricultural productivity.
