description: The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has exposed an urgent need for effective contact tracing solutions through mobile phone applications to prevent the infection from spreading further. However, due to the nature of contact tracing, public concern on privacy issues has been a bottleneck to the existing solutions, which is significantly affecting the uptake of contact tracing applications across the globe. In this paper, we present a blockchain-enabled privacy-preserving contact tracing scheme: BeepTrace, where we propose to adopt blockchain bridging the user/patient and the authorized solvers to desensitize the user ID and location information. Compared with recently proposed contract tracing solutions, our approach shows higher security and privacy with the additional advantages of being battery friendly and globally accessible. Results show viability in terms of the required resource at both server and mobile phone perspectives. Through breaking the privacy concerns of the public, the proposed BeepTrace solution can provide a timely framework for authorities, companies, software developers and researchers to fast develop and deploy effective digital contact tracing applications, to conquer COVID-19 pandemic soon. Meanwhile, the open initiative of BeepTrace allows worldwide collaborations, integrate existing tracing and positioning solutions with the help of blockchain technology.

description: Knowledge about the interior of our planet is mainly based on the interpretation of seismic data from earthquakes and nuclear explosions, and of composition of meteorites. Additional observations have led to a wide range of hypotheses on the heat flow from the interior to the crust, the abundance of certain noble gases in gasses vented from volcanoes and the possibility of a nuclear georeactor at the centre of the Earth. This paper focuses on a proposal for an underground laboratory to further develop antineutrinos as a tool to map the distribution of radiogenic heat sources, such as the natural radionuclides and the hypothetical nuclear georeactor.

Off-equilibrium dynamics of the primordial perturbations in the inflationary universe: the O(N) model

description: Using the O(N) model as an example, we investigate the self-interaction effects of inflaton on the dynamics of the primordial perturbations. When taking interactions into account, it is essential to employ a self-consistent off-equilibrium formalism to study the evolution of the inflationary background field and its fluctuations with the back-reaction effects. Within the Hartree factorization scheme, we show that the O(N) model has at least two observable remains left behind the off-equilibrium processes: the running spectral index of primordial density perturbations and the correlations between perturbation modes in phase space. We find that the running of the spectral index is fully determined by the rate of the energy transfer from the inflationary background field to its fluctuations via particle creation processes as well as the dynamics of the background field itself. Furthermore, the amplitude of the field fluctuations turns out to be scale-dependent due to the off-equilibrium evolution. As a consequence, the scale-dependence of fluctuations yields a correlation between the phase space modes of energy density perturbations, while the one-point function of the fluctuations in each Hartree mode is still Gaussian. More importantly, the mode-mode correlation of the primordial perturbations depends upon the dynamics of the self-interaction {\it as well as} the initial conditions of the inflation. Hence, we propose that the running spectral index and the correlation between phase-space modes would be two observable fossils to probe the epoch of inflation, even beyond.

title: Niki de Saint Phalle. La sfida di esporre un'eroina

description: Niki de Saint Phalle è una delle artiste più conosciute della seconda metà del XX secolo, celebre in tutto il mondo per avere rielaborato i propri traumi personali attraverso i colori sgargianti e le forme prorompenti delle sue Nanas. Le gioiose e sfacciate figure femminili non esauriscono tuttavia la complessità del lavoro dell’artista, profondamente intriso di questioni sociopolitiche dalla portata universale: l’opera di Saint Phalle, per quanto abbia attirato nel tempo molta attenzione e curiosità, non è ancora pienamente compresa né dal pubblico né dalla critica, restia a collocarla legittimamente all’interno di una storia dell’arte impegnata. Il presente lavoro intende indagare i motivi di questa parziale ricezione, aggiungendo al già corposo panorama di studi dedicato a Saint Phalle un tassello ancora non esplorato, ovvero quello di un’analisi della pratica curatoriale che ha veicolato e continua a veicolare la comprensione della sua opera. L’obiettivo è mostrare come sia necessario dare il giusto peso ed il giusto spazio – tanto a livello critico, quanto istituzionale e mediatico - alle molteplici lotte che l’artista ha da sempre posto al centro della propria opera, tutt’oggi estremamente significative: la necessità di sovvertire le dinamiche di potere del patriarcato, di schierarsi contro l’aggressività politica ed economica, a favore della liberazione del corpo, del multiculturalismo, dell’ambiente. Attraverso l’analisi incrociata di pubblicazioni e preziosi documenti d’archivio, si evidenzierà come un lavoro così articolato e stratificato possa parlare alla e della contemporaneità.

The experiment was conducted at TRIUMF via the measurement of the time dependence of the 5.2 MeV neutrons from muon capture in liquid hydrogen. The measurement yielded an ortho-para rate $Λ_{op} = (11.1 \pm 1.7 \pm^{0.9}_{0.6}) \times 10^4$ s$^{-1}$ that is substantially larger than the earlier result of Bardin {\it et al.} We discuss the striking implications for the proton's induced pseudoscalar coupling $g_p$.

description: Esta reunião da SOBER traz como proposta para discussão um tema que se julga da maior relevância: o problema da estabilidade de renda na agricultura. Neste trabalho, pretende-se apenas trazer algumas constatações empíricas sobre as implicações do desenvolvimento agrícola brasileiro quanto à renda na agricultura. A apresentação está dividida em 3 partes. Na primeira parte, far-se-á uma retrospectiva das estratégias de desenvolvimento econômico adotadas pelo Brasil nas últimas três décadas. Esta parte visa a elaborar um quadro de referência da evolução das políticas econômicas que tiveram maior influência sobre o setor agrícola, que caracterizaram o processo de desenvolvimento recente, em que a tônica tem sido a segmentação da agricultura em dois subsetores, o subsetor agrícola de exportação e o subsetor agrícola doméstico. Na segunda parte, discutir-se-á o problema de instabilidade de renda e será apresentada uma análise estatística de algumas medidas de variabilidade de renda na agricultura brasileira nas últimas três décadas. Finalmente, serão apresentados alguns comentários finais.

description: We analyze the Casimir-Lifshitz effect associated with the electromagnetic field in the presence of a rectangular waveguide consisting of two distinct dielectric materials in a $(3+1)$-dimensional spacetime. We employ the surface mode technique to derive a generalized Lifshitz formula for this specific geometry. Our formulation accounts for the unique dielectric properties of the materials composing the waveguide, leading to a precise calculation of the Casimir-Lifshitz energy. In the asymptotic limit, our results recover the classical expressions for perfect reflecting boundaries. This work extends the applicability of the Lifshitz formula to more complex systems and provides valuable insights into the influence of dielectric materials on the electromagnetic Casimir effect.

description: Foi uma honra ser convidado a falar na reunião dos economistas rurais brasileiros. Estou também satisfeito com o tema principal que me foi solicitado abordar, uma vez que este assunto foi o mesmo que apresentei na minha tese de doutoramento e no primeiro livro que publiquei, Forward Prices for Agriculture. Agradeço a oportunidade de discutir um tema ao qual dediquei quantidade apreciável de meu tempo e pensamento muitos anos atrás e que tem estado relacionado a grande parte do trabalho que tenho feito em anos recentes. Enquanto meu tópico se refere a estratégias para alcançar estabilidade de renda, é necessário antes considerar as fontes de instabilidade de renda na agricultura. Isto se baseia na hipótese, frequentemente ignorada por políticos agrícolas mundiais, de que deve haver alguma relação entre as fontes de um resultado indesejável e as estratégias para atenuar ou evitar aquele resultado. Darei também alguma atenção à questão de qual o grau de estabilidade de renda desejável ou desejado pelos produtores rurais.
Quantum Pumping and Nuclear Polarization in the Integer Quantum Hall Regime

description: We study pumping of charge in a 2DEG in the quantum Hall regime at filling factor $ν= 2$ (2 spin-split levels of the lowest Landau level). For pumping frequencies that match the Zeeman energy splitting, quantum pumping together with hyperfine interaction between electrons and nuclei induces transitions between the spin-split levels. These lead to a step-like change in the pumped current and to polarization of the nuclei. We present quantitative predictions for both. Our model provides the first quantitative tool to both control and measure the amount of local nuclear polarization in a 2DEG.

description: Imaging sensors digitize incoming scene light at a dynamic range of 10--12 bits (i.e., 1024--4096 tonal values). The sensor image is then processed onboard the camera and finally quantized to only 8 bits (i.e., 256 tonal values) to conform to prevailing encoding standards. There are a number of important applications, such as high-bit-depth displays and photo editing, where it is beneficial to recover the lost bit depth. Deep neural networks are effective at this bit-depth reconstruction task. Given the quantized low-bit-depth image as input, existing deep learning methods employ a single-shot approach that attempts to either (1) directly estimate the high-bit-depth image, or (2) directly estimate the residual between the high- and low-bit-depth images. In contrast, we propose a training and inference strategy that recovers the residual image bitplane-by-bitplane. Our bitplane-wise learning framework has the advantage of allowing for multiple levels of supervision during training and is able to obtain state-of-the-art results using a simple network architecture. We test our proposed method extensively on several image datasets and demonstrate an improvement from 0.5dB to 2.3dB PSNR over prior methods depending on the quantization level.

description: Recently evidence has been found that the perturbative QCD potential agrees well with phenomenological potentials and lattice computations of the QCD potential. We review the present status of the perturbative QCD potential and theoretical backgrounds. We also report our recent analysis which shows analytically, on the basis of renormalon dominance picture, that the perturbative QCD potential quickly ``converges'' to a Coulomb-plus-linear form. The Coulomb-plus-linear potential can be computed systematically as we include more terms of the perturbative series; up to three-loop running (our current best knowledge), it shows a convergence towards lattice results. e.g. At one-loop running, the linear potential is sigma*r with sigma = (2*pi*C_F/beta0) Lambda_MSbar^2.

description: Many of the known hot Jupiters are formally unstable to tidal orbital decay. The only hot Jupiter for which orbital decay has been directly detected is WASP-12, for which transit timing measurements spanning more than a decade have revealed that the orbital period is decreasing at a rate of $dP/dt\approx 10^{-9}$, corresponding to a reduced tidal quality factor of about $2\times 10^5$. Here, we present a compilation of transit-timing data for WASP-12 and eleven other systems which are especially favorable for detecting orbital decay: KELT-16; WASP-18, 19, 43, 72, 103, 114, and 122; HAT-P-23; HATS-18; and OGLE-TR-56. For most of these systems we present new data that extend the time baseline over which observations have been performed. None of the systems besides WASP-12 displays convincing evidence for period changes, with typical upper limits on $dP/dt$ on the order of $10^{-9}$ or $10^{-10}$, and lower limits on the reduced tidal quality factor on the order of $10^5$. One possible exception is WASP-19, which shows a statistically significant trend, although it may be a spurious effect of starspot activity. Further observations are encouraged.

We find that the dipole charge appears in the first law in the same manner as a global charge. Using the Gibbs-Duhem relation, we also provide a non-trivial check of the entropy/area relationship for the dipole ring. A preliminary study of the thermodynamic stability indicates that the neutral ring is unstable to angular fluctuations.

description: India is one of worst disaster-prone countries of the world. Disasters continue to occur without warning and are on an increase in their magnitude, complexity, frequency, and economic impact. India has traditionally been vulnerable to natural disasters like floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes, and landslides due to its unique geo-climatic conditions. Among various natural calamities, flood is the major devastating natural calamity resulting in heavy loss of vegetation. In Indian subcontinent, drought is predominantly characterized by monsoon failure. The major effects of natural disasters are acute shortages of food, feed, fodder and drinking water which adversely affect human and livestock health and nutrition. Severe malnutrition due to natural calamities may depress growth, productive and reproductive performance. Therefore, there is a need to formulate feeding strategy for maintenance of animals to ensure its survival during and after the natural calamity.

description: We study the affine schemes of modules over gentle algebras. We describe the smooth points of these schemes, and we also analyze their irreducible components in detail. Several of our results generalize formerly known results, e.g. by dropping acyclicity, and by incorporating band modules. A special class of gentle algebras are Jacobian algebras arising from triangulations of unpunctured marked surfaces. For these we obtain a bijection between the set of generically tau-reduced decorated irreducible components and the set of laminations of the surface. As an application, we get that the set of bangle functions (defined by Musiker-Schiffler-Williams) in the upper cluster algebra associated with the surface coincides with the set of generic Caldero-Chapoton functions.

description: Market volatility remains one of the most important research fields in agricultural economics.Interestingly, price transmission mechanism seems to be symmetric in sectors that are likely to be of high political power.This paper analyzes the price transmission effects from international markets to domestic markets for corn in Iran. For this purpose, we estimate the elasticity of substitution between imported and domestically produced goods. Annual data (1996-2012) are analyzed with an econometric framework based on the Maximum Entropy. The result shows that there is a substitution relationship between imported and domestic corn and in the end; domestic prices areaffected from world price more than the short run.

description: The present research carried out to study the relationship of market orientation and innovation and their effect on entrepreneurship and value creation for customers. To do so, as the sample was unlimited, 241 active companies in agriculture and food industry were selected as the samples by random sampling method. Via standard questionnaire, we gathered data on managers and senior experts' opinions about marketing and sales in each of the enterprises and analyzed data using the construct equations and with the help of SPSS and LISERL software. The results showed that market orientation affected entrepreneurship; value creation for customers, and innovation in entrepreneurship and value creation on customer have significantly affected. Also, the adjustability effect of innovation was confirmed on relationships between market orientation and entrepreneurship, and between market orientation and value creation for customers. According to the findings, it was illustrated that entrepreneurship did not have a significant effect on value creation for customers and also the innovation factor could not adjust the relationship between entrepreneurship and value creation for customers.

description: A classification of supersymmetric solutions of five dimensional ungauged supergravity coupled to arbitrary many abelian vector multiplets is used to prove a uniqueness theorem for asymptotically flat supersymmetric black holes with regular horizons. It is shown that the near-horizon geometries of solutions for which the scalars and gauge field strengths are sufficiently regular on the horizon are flat space, AdS_3 x S^2, or the near-horizon BMPV solution. Furthermore, the only black hole which has the near-horizon BMPV geometry for its near-horizon geometry is the solution found by Chamseddine and Sabra.

description: This paper presents the first investigation into the use of fully automated deep learning framework for assessing neonatal postoperative pain. It specifically investigates the use of Bilinear Convolutional Neural Network (B-CNN) to extract facial features during different levels of postoperative pain followed by modeling the temporal pattern using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Although acute and postoperative pain have some common characteristics (e.g., visual action units), postoperative pain has a different dynamic, and it evolves in a unique pattern over time. Our experimental results indicate a clear difference between the pattern of acute and postoperative pain. They also suggest the efficiency of using a combination of bilinear CNN with RNN model for the continuous assessment of postoperative pain intensity.

description: Abstract

Engineering and manufacturing are domains where material layout and selection are crucial. This procedure entails a thorough assessment of the materials, taking long-term viability, affordability, and property considerations into account. Making the best material choices is crucial to achieve durability, aesthetics, and functionality while reducing their adverse effect on the planet. Furthermore, there are advantages and disadvantages for different industries associated with the growth of composites that are hybrids, especially when it comes to the incorporation of plastics with additional components. The importance of material selection as well as design is emphasized in this abstract, along with how they affect the product performance and sustainability. Creative thinking and business actions are going to be shaped by future developments in material science and design.

description: There is a rich history of models for the interaction of a biological contagion like influenza with the spread of related information such as an influenza vaccination campaign. Recent work on the spread of interacting contagions on networks has highlighted that these interacting contagions can have counter-intuitive interplay with network structure. Here we generalize one of these frameworks to tackle three important features of the spread of awareness and disease: one, we model the dynamics on highly clustered, cliquish, networks to mimic the role of workplaces and households; two, the awareness contagion affects the spread of the biological contagion by reducing its transmission rate where an aware or vaccinated individual is less likely to be infected; and three, the biological contagion also affects the spread of the awareness contagion but by increasing its transmission rate where an infected individual is more receptive and more likely to share information related to the disease. Under these conditions, we find that increasing network clustering, which is known to hinder disease spread, can actually allow them to sustain larger epidemics of the disease in models with awareness. This counter-intuitive result goes against the conventional wisdom suggesting that random networks are justifiable as they provide worst-case scenario forecasts. To further investigate this result, we provide a closed-form criterion based on a two-step branching process (i.e., the numbers of expected tertiary infections) to identify different regions in parameter space where the net effect of clustering and co-infection varies. Altogether, our results highlight once again the need to go beyond random networks in disease modeling and illustrate the type of analysis that is possible even in complex models of interacting contagions.

description: This study determined the situation of rural tourism and agro-tourism in Tehran Province as well as the expected economic impacts of agro-tourism development on it. In this research, we used documental research method and field research based on questionnaires and face-to-face interview. It was found out that despite different tourist attractions in rural areas of Tehran Province, tourist arrival to the rural areas was only due to natural attractions. Almost all counties have agri- cultural tourist attractions, but no comprehensive and coherent programs have been implemented for the development of agro- tourism in the region. It was revealed that one job can be created in exchange for the arrival of nearly 133 Agro-tourists, that tourists in their rural trips are more willing to buy agricultural products and homemade processed foods as compared to handicrafts and other goods, that in rural trips, agro-tourists will spend more money for their purchases than other rural tourists, and that agro-tourists earn much more benefit on their purchasing as compared to rural tourists. Based on the results, the most important expected economic impacts of agro-tourism development in Tehran Province include the increase in agro-tourist arrivals to the rural regions, the increase in job creation, the improvement of rural economy and much more agro-tourism revenue in rural areas as compared to other fields of rural tourism.
