description: The aim of this paper is to present the definition of complexity for static self-gravitating anisotropic matter proposed in $f(G,T)$ theory, where $G$ is the Gauss-Bonnet term and $T$ is the trace of energy momentum tensor. We evaluate field equations, Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation, mass functions and structure scalars. Among the calculated modified scalar variables that are obtained from the orthogonal splitting of Riemann tensor, a single scalar function has been identified as the complexity factor. After exploring the corresponding Tolmann mass function, it is seen that the complexity factor along with the $f(G,T)$ terms have greatly influenced its formulation and its role in the subsequent radial phases of the spherical system. We have also used couple of ansatz in order to discuss possible solutions of equations of motion in the study of the structure of compact object.

description: Initial Mars colonizers priority list will encompass growing plants on the hostileplanet. Growth of plants on Mars have a significant importance ranging frombeing an essential food source to oxygen production and raw material and formanufacturing different products. Rhizosphere dwelling bacteria perform keyfunctions in the growth and development of plants. In this study, the growthand survival of rhizosphere soil bacteria was examined for a period of 7 days inKhyber Pakhtunkhwa Mountain Red Soil (KP-Mars-1) & Mars Global Simulant–1(MGS-1), both representing Mars soil. KP-Mars-1 is our identified Mars soilsimulant, characterized and refined by us. It exhibits similar elementalcomposition as Mars soil and can potentially be used as a Mars soil simulant.The simulated Mars environment for bacterial growth and survival analysisconsisted of diurnal temperatures (positive 20°C to 30°C and negative 80°C),low and high soil moisture content, anaerobic atmosphere (carbon dioxidedominant) and UV-C ionization radiation (200nm – 280nm). These conditionsare being tested alone, in combination and all together for effects on bacterialgrowth and survival. Bacterial cells were inoculated in Mars soil simulants invarious volumes (1%, 20%, 40%, 60% & 100%) in 5 grams of Mars soil simulant.The growth and survival of rhizosphere bacteria will be analyzed for 1, 3 & 7days. Rhizosphere soil bacterial were able to survive -80°C temperatureconditions in our preliminary work. Our study may have implications forMartian astronauts in deciding which bacteria should be considered to grow onMars for effective growth of plants.

description: I National Rural Networks (NRNs) have been introduced as a new policy intervention under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) in the period 2007-2013. Major tasks ascribed to the NRNs are: transferring information on rural development measures to rural stakeholders, identifying good practices, and organising exchange of expertise and know-how. Classified as Technical Assistance, the NRNs are expected to increase the effectiveness of the EAFRD and to contribute to the improvement of policy delivery and governance. However, neither a common intervention logic nor an evaluation system has been established for the NRNs. This paper examines the NRNs’ potential for added value creation and for achieving their objectives of improving policy delivery and governance. Special attention is devoted to the NRN in the post-socialist new member state Romania with little experiences in EU policies. The NRNs have so far raised hardly any scientific interest making empirical work essential for approaching our research objectives. Besides outlining the networks’ theoretical potential from the literature, practical experiences with the NRNs were gained from surveys amongst network units across the EU and Romanian network members in 2010. Results allow for drawing an intervention logic underlying the instrumental idea of the NRNs, highlighting strengths and weaknesses in implementation, and providing lessons against which the legislative proposals for the Common Agricultural Policies post 2013 are discussed.

description: We study the model of close-packed dimers on planar lattices belonging to the family of modified rectangular (MR) fractals, whose members are enumerated by an integer $p\geq 2$, as well as on the non-planar 4-simplex fractal lattice. By applying an exact recurrence enumeration method, we determine the asymptotic forms for numbers of dimer coverings, and numerically calculate entropies per dimer in the thermodynamic limit, for a sequence of MR lattices with $2\leq p\leq8$ and for 4-simplex fractal. We find that the entropy per dimer on MR fractals is increasing function of the scaling parameter $p$, and for every considered $p$ it is smaller than the entropy per dimer of the same model on $4$-simplex lattice. Obtained results are discussed and compared with the results obtained previously on some translationally invariant and fractal lattices.

description: Acquiring new knowledge and competences is crucial in the success of individuals, enterprises, regions and countries, since knowledge may become obsolete very quickly. Besides technological development, innovation can be characterised by well organised, risk reducing systems and networks. Innovation in Hungarian rural development with the establishment of a knowledge-based, competitive and successful rural economy is crucial. In Hungarian agriculture and rural development the market based innovation system building on endogenous resources is not operating. The innovation chain is narrow and underdeveloped, the majority of the innovations implemented in rural areas are small-scale and – without knowledge, equity and business relationships – are not viable. Agricultural innovation development is the primary area of intervention to boost the competitiveness and value added of farms and food processing enterprises, the utilisation of renewable resources and ICT development. At the same time in rural development the establishment of partnerships aiming at innovation dissemination can create the value added.

description: $AdS_3$ space-time admits a foliation by two-dimensional twisted conjugacy classes, stable under the identification subgroup yielding the non-rotating massive BTZ black hole. Each leaf constitutes a classical solution of the space-time Dirac-Born-Infeld action, describing an open D-string in $AdS_3$ or a D-string winding around the black hole. We first describe two nonequivalent maximal extensions of the non-rotating massive BTZ space-time and observe that in one of them, each D-string worldsheet admits an action of a two-parameter subgroup ($\ca \cn$) of $\SL$. We then construct non-formal, $\ca \cn$-invariant, star products that deform the classical algebra of functions on the D-string worldsheets and on their embedding space-times. We end by giving the first elements towards the definition of a Connes spectral triple on non-commutative $AdS$ space-times.

description: Data journals are a focus for innovation in data sharing and publication, across a growing range of disciplines. They offer a number of significant opportunities to researchers, data centers/ repositories, institutions and publishers. We report on progress in the PREPARDE project, which is addressing key issues including the common ground between 'trustworthy' data repository standards and effective peer review of datasets. The project has an initial focus on earth science disciplines, and the Geoscience Data Journal, a partnership between the UK Royal Meteorological Society and Wiley-Blackwell, and involves major geoscience data centers in the UK and US. We discuss findings of an international interdisciplinary workshop, and its contribution to our aim of producing guidelines on a) dataset review criteria and the associated cross-repository workflows; and b) the roles of trusted repository standards e.g. the Data Seal of Approval and ISO16363 in supporting the peer review of data. These focus on how the responsibilities for both technical and scientific review of data can be met effectively through collaboration between the various stakeholders. These include research institutions, many of which are developing infrastructure for research data management to fulfill their policy obligations towards sharing publicly funded research data as a public good.

This study presents the genesis, functioning and impact of two tourism cluster initiatives from mountainous rural areas of Slovakia (Orava region and Turiec region) on selected regional indicators (net migration of population, number of tourists, overnight stays and unemployed persons) with the aim to confirm or put into the question the validity of positively perceived direct relation between the simple existence of tourism cluster and racional (successful and/or sustainable) spatial development. The results (comparison of applied regional indicators before and after establishment of tourism clusters) show that establisment and existence of tourism clusters in Orava and Turiec regions are not automatically accompanied by the dramatic changes of regional and rural economic prosperity and/or sustainability in the first years of their activities.

description: Gas-phase ion/ion covalent modification was coupled to ion mobility/mass spectrometry analysis to directly correlate the structure of gaseous ubiquitin to its solution structures with selective covalent structural probes. Collision cross-section (CCS) distributions were measured prior to ion/ion reactions to ensure the ubiquitin ions were not unfolded when they were introduced to the gas phase. Ubiquitin ions were electrosprayed from aqueous and methanolic solutions yielding a range of different charge states that were analyzed by ion mobility and time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Aqueous solutions stabilizing the native state of ubiquitin generated folded ubiquitin structures with CCS values consistent with the native state. Denaturing solutions favored several families of unfolded conformations for most of the charge states evaluated. Gas-phase covalent labeling via ion/ion reactions was followed by collision-induced dissociation of the intact, labeled protein to determine which residues were labeled. Ubiquitin 5+ and 6+ electrosprayed from aqueous solutions were covalently modified preferentially at the lysine 29 and arginine 54 residues, indicating that elements of secondary structure, as well as tertiary structure, were maintained in the gas phase. On the other hand, most ubiquitin ions produced in denaturing conditions were labeled at various other lysine residues, likely due to the availability of additional sites following methanol and low pH-induced unfolding. These data support the conservation of ubiquitin structural elements in the gas phase. The research presented here provides the basis for residue-specific characterization of biomolecules in the gas phase.

description: Most analysis of agricultural commodity market integration is solely based on price information. However, adding trade data can improve the understanding of interactions between interrelated markets. We link the analysis of price transmission processes between spot and futures markets with trade information to study the influence of Brazilian coffee exports on global price interdependencies. Using a Markov-switching vector error correction model (MSVECM) we allow for structural changes over time. Our results reveal two regimes. One regime is characterized by periods of sideways or downward trending coffee prices with low price volatility, and the other one by phases of price spikes and high price volatility. Price information is transmitted through both the spot and the futures prices and the speed of the price transmission process is significantly affected by the total daily volume and value of Brazilian coffee exports.

Comparatively, plastic 3D printing is more easily available, highlighting it as a potential alternative.

description: Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods have evolved over the past several decades. In today’s world with rapidly growing industries, MCDM has proven to be significant in many application areas. In this study, a decision-making model is devised using reinforcement learning to carry out multi-criteria optimization problems. Learning automata algorithm is used to identify an optimal solution in the presence of single and multiple environments (criteria) using pareto optimality. The application of this model is also discussed, where the model provides an optimal solution to the food, energy, and water systems (FEWS) problem.
Research data management in economics journals: Data policies and data description as prerequisites of reproducible research
Creators: name: Vlaeminck, Sven

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: Replication of research results is eminent for empirical science. But in disciplines like economics, replication is a vision rather than a reality. One reason for this is that research data are not available due to the lack of mandatory data policies and archives. Even if data is available, descriptions with sufficient metadata are often missing. Also the e-infrastructure for providing datasets and other materials is still underdeveloped and offers no features. Our talk focuses on academic journals in economics. We present some results of a study of more than 140 journals regarding their research data management and suggest good practices for data availability policies. Subsequently we propose concepts for improvements regarding the journals' e-infrastructures. In particular we are addressing the problem of metadata creation. Often, the creation of metadata is not accepted by researchers because it is too time consuming. On the other side it must be comprehensive enough for reproducibility purposes. Referring to this contradiction, we define different levels of metadata schemata dependent on the different purposes they should serve - from ensuring the citation of research data to the requirements for replications of data and results.

description: We describe the formalism for optimally estimating and controlling both the state of a spin ensemble and a scalar magnetic field with information obtained from a continuous quantum limited measurement of the spin precession due to the field. The full quantum parameter estimation model is reduced to a simplified equivalent representation to which classical estimation and control theory is applied. We consider both the tracking of static and fluctuating fields in the transient and steady state regimes. By using feedback control, the field estimation can be made robust to uncertainty about the total spin number.

description: The general objective of the work is to study dynamics of dissipative solitons in the framework of a one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) of a fractional order. To estimate the shape of solitons in fractional models, we first develop the variational approximation for solitons of the fractional nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE), and an analytical approximation for exponentially decaying tails of the solitons. Proceeding to numerical consideration of solitons in fractional CGLE, we study, in necessary detail, effects of the respective Levy index (LI) on the solitons' dynamics. In particular, dependence of stability domains in the model's parameter space on the LI is identified. Pairs of in-phase dissipative solitons merge into single pulses, with the respective merger distance also determined by LI.

description: We use QCD light-cone sum rules to examine the B -> pi pi hadronic matrix element of the current-current operator with c quarks in the penguin topology (``charming penguin'') as a potential source of the substantial O(1/m_b) effects. Our results indicate that charming penguins do not generate sizable nonperturbative effects at finite m_b. The same is valid for the penguin contractions of the current-current operators with light quarks. The dominant penguin topology effects are predicted to be O(α_s). Still, the nonperturbative effects at finite m_b can accumulate to a visible effect that is illustrated by calculating the CP-asymmetry in the B^0_d -> pi^+ pi^- decay.

description: Recent studies indicate that in many situations service times are affected by the experienced queueing delay of the particular customer. This effect has been detected in different areas, such as health care, call centers and telecommunication networks. In this paper we present a methodology to analyze a model having this property. The specific model is an M/M/c queue in which any customer may be tagged at her arrival time if her queueing time will be above a certain fixed threshold. All tagged customers are then served at a given rate that may differ from the rate used for the non-tagged customers. We show how it is possible to model the virtual queueing time of this queueing system by a specific Markov chain. Then, solving the corresponding balance equations, we give a recursive solution to compute the stationary distribution, which involves a mixture of exponential terms. Using numerical experiments, we demonstrate that the differences in service rates can have a crucial impact on queueing time performance.

description: Among the higher curvature gravities, the most extensively studied theory is the so-called Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) gravity, whose Lagrangian contains Einstein term with the GB combination of quadratic curvature terms, and the GB term yields nontrivial gravitational dynamics in $ D\geq5$. Recently there has been a surge of interest in regularizing, a $ D \to 4 $ limit of, the EGB gravity, and the resulting regularized $4D$ EGB gravity valid in $4D$. We consider gravitational lensing by Charged black holes in the $4D$ EGB gravity theory to calculate the light deflection coefficients in strong-field limits $\bar{a}$ and $\bar{b}$, while the former increases with increasing GB parameter $α$ and charge $q$, later decrease. We also find a decrease in the deflection angle $α_D$, angular position $θ_{\infty}$ decreases more slowly and impact parameter for photon orbits $u_{m}$ more quickly, but angular separation $s$ increases more rapidly with $α$ and charge $q$. We compare our results with those for analogous black holes in General Relativity (GR) and also the formalism is applied to discuss the astrophysical consequences in the case of the supermassive black holes Sgr A* and M87*.

description: Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
description: Subsampling is an important method in the analysis of Big Data. Subsample size determination (SSSD) plays a crucial part in extracting information from data and in breaking the challenges resulted from huge data sizes. In this thesis, (1) Sample size determination (SSD) is investigated in multivariate parameters, and sample size formulas are obtained for multivariate normal distribution. (2) Sample size formulas are obtained based on concentration inequalities. (3) Improved bounds for McDiarmid’s inequalities are obtained. (4) The obtained results are applied to nonuniform subsampling in Big Data high dimensional linear regression. (5) Numerical studies are conducted. The sample size formula in univariate normal distribution is a melody in elementary statistics. It appears that its generalization to multivariate normal (or more generally multivariate parameters) hasn’t been caught much attention to the best of our knowledge. In this thesis, we introduce a definition for SSD, and obtain explicit formulas for multivariate normal distribution, in gratifying analogy of the sample size formula in univariate normal. Commonly used concentration inequalities provide exponential rates, and sample sizes based on these inequalities are often loose. Talagrand (1995) provided the missing factor to sharpen these inequalities. We obtained the numeric values of the constants in the missing factor and slightly improved his results. Furthermore, we provided the missing factor in McDiarmid’s inequality. These improved bounds are used to give shrunken sample sizes.
Future False Creek : Reconnecting False Creek’s public space with its water in the face of sea level rise

Year: 2022

description: Parks and public space are critical to the health and resilience of individuals and communities. Waterfront public spaces are often of special significance, as they are the primary interface many city dwellers have with water and the coast. However, as coastal cities face the effects of climate change and sea level rise, many parks and public spaces are at risk of being lost or severely altered from increasingly frequent flooding or the shoreline fortification constructed to prevent it. As cities densify to house climate refugees and rising populations, pressures on these shrinking public spaces increase substantially. How can we proactively reimagine waterfront public spaces as a system to embrace the future, while enhancing habitat, adaptability, and access to the water? This project examines the effects of sea level rise on False Creek, an inlet at the increasingly-dense urban heart of Vancouver characterized by its continuous perimeter of public space. The subsequent design proposal seeks to envision an alternate future for False Creek using an equitable and resilient system of public spaces that will embrace Vancouver’s new and ever-changing shoreline.

description: During the June 2015 outburst of the black hole binary V404 Cyg, rapid changes in the X-ray brightness and spectra were common. The INTEGRAL monitoring campaign detected spectacular Eddington-limited X-ray flares, but also rapid variations at much lower flux levels. On 2015 June 21 at 20 h 50 min, the 3-10 keV JEM-X data as well as simultaneous optical data started to display a gradual brightening from one of these low-flux states. This was followed 15 min later by an order-of-magnitude increase of flux in the 20-40 keV IBIS/ISGRI light curve in just 15 s. The best-fitting model for both the pre- and post-transition spectra required a Compton-thick partially covering absorber. The absorber parameters remained constant, but the spectral slope varied significantly during the event, with the photon index decreasing from $Γ\approx 3.7$ to $Γ\approx 2.3$. We propose that the rapid 20-40 keV flux increase was either caused by a spectral state transition that was hidden from our direct view, or that there was a sudden reduction in the amount of Compton down-scattering of the primary X-ray emission in the disk outflow.

description: We propose a novel clock skew compensation algorithm based on Bresenham's line drawing algorithm. The proposed algorithm can avoid the effect of limited floating-point precision (e.g., 32-bit single precision) on clock skew compensation and thereby provide high-precision time synchronization even with resource-constrained sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks.

description: Semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the B_c meson to charmonium and D mesons are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The decay form factors are explicitly expressed through the overlap integrals of the meson wave functions in the whole accessible kinematical range. The relativistic meson wave functions are used for the calculation of the decay rates. The obtained results are compared with the predictions of other approaches.

Casimir-Polder interactions with massive photons: implications for BSM physics

description: We present the derivation of the Casimir-Polder interactions mediated by a massive photon between two neutral systems described in terms of their atomic polarizability tensors. We find a compact expression for the leading term at large distances between the two systems. Our result reduces, in the mass-less photon limit, to the standard Casimir-Polder. We discuss implications of our findings with respect to recent scenarios of physics beyond the standard model such as universal extra dimensions, Randall-Sundrum and scale-invariant models. For each model we compute the correction to the Casimir-Polder interaction in terms of the free parameters.

description: The implementation of a quantum computer requires the realization of a large number of N-qubit unitary operations which represent the possible oracles or which are part of the quantum algorithm. Until now there are no standard ways to uniformly generate whole classes of N-qubit gates. We have developed a method to generate arbitrary controlled phase shift operations with a single network of one-qubit and two-qubit operations. This kind of network can be adapted to various physical implementations of quantum computing and is suitable to realize the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm as well as Grover's search algorithm.

title: A series of experimental investigations into different manifestations of the vortex ring state
Creators: name: Pickles, David Jonathan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: vortex ring state, shrouded rotor, ventilated open core annular jet.

description: The fluid dynamics of a helicopter rotor present many challenging phenomena. The flow is dominated by a system of intertwined helical vortices that trail from the rotor blades, which persist and remain in the vicinity of the rotor for many rotor revolutions. Of interest here is the vortex ring state (VRS), which is typically associated with the descent of a rotor into its own wake. In the vortex ring state the trailed vortex system collapses from its usual helical structure to form a toroidal vortex ring of the same scale as the rotor diameter. The vortex ring is highly unsteady, and sheds off and reforms, leading to large unpredictable thrust fluctuations. It is currently believed that the mutual-inductance instability of helical vortices is responsible for the breakdown of the rotor wake into the toroidal form associated with the vortex ring state. Subsequently, computational investigations have revolved around modelling the trailed vortex system for extended periods of time. Experimental investigations have also typically been configured to generate a trailed vortex wake. The aim of this work is to explore the role blade tip vortices have on the breakdown of the helical rotor wake into the unsteady toroidal form associated with the vortex ring state. In order to achieve this, a series of experimental investigations into the structure of the flow field produced by a shrouded rotor, a unshrouded rotor, a ventilated open core annular jet and a rotor with a large root cut out were performed. Each of these experimental configurations produced mean velocity profiles that were notionally similar. With a ring of high velocity flow surrounding a low velocity core. However, the structure of the wake produced by each configuration differed considerably. Unlike the wake produced by an unshrouded rotor, the wake produced by the shrouded rotor and the ventilated open core annular jet did not contain a helical vortex system. Despite this, in axial descent, each of the experimental configurations investigated entered states analogous to the vortex ring state of an isolated rotor. The results presented in this thesis show that the mechanism by which the wake produced by the shrouded rotor and the ventilated open core annular jet broke down into the toroidal form associated with the VRS of an unshrouded rotor were similar. Indicating that the breakdown of the rotor wake, into the toroidal form of the VRS is a result of the interaction between an axially induced flow, which consists of a low velocity core surrounded by a ring of higher velocity air, and a uniform counterflow.

description: We demonstrate the possibility of creating domain walls described by a single component Gross-Pitaevskii equation with attractive interaction, in the presence of an optical-lattice potential. While it is found that the extended domain wall is unstable, we show that the external magnetic trap can stabilize it. Stable solutions include twisted domain walls, as well as asymmetric solitons. The results also apply to spatial solitons in planar waveguides with transverse modulation of the refractive index.
