Positive singular solutions of a nonlinear Maxwell equation arising in mesoscopic electromagnetism

At least one positive radial singular solution and infinitely many positive non-radial singular solutions of a nonlinear Maxwell equation in dimension two are constructed in a refined local version. The nonlinear Maxwell equation arises in mesoscopic electromagnetism. To construct the singular solutions, we need to know more detailed asymptotic behavior at the isolated singular point of the prescribed singular solutions than those already known. We will establish the asymptotic expansion up to arbitrary orders at the isolated singular point of a prescribed singular solution of the nonlinear Maxwell equation. Using such expansions, we construct positive singular solutions via fixed point arguments in some weighted Hölder spaces.

DEEPCYPs: A deep learning platform for enhanced cytochrome P450 activity prediction.

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) is a superfamily of heme-containing oxidizing enzymes involved in the metabolism of a wide range of medicines, xenobiotics, and endogenous compounds. Five of the CYPs (1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4) are responsible for metabolizing the vast majority of approved drugs. Adverse drug-drug interactions, many of which are mediated by CYPs, are one of the important causes for the premature termination of drug development and drug withdrawal from the market. In this work, we reported in silicon classification models to predict the inhibitory activity of molecules against these five CYP isoforms using our recently developed FP-GNN deep learning method. The evaluation results showed that, to the best of our knowledge, the multi-task FP-GNN model achieved the best predictive performance with the highest average AUC (0.905), F1 (0.779), BA (0.819), and MCC (0.647) values for the test sets, even compared to advanced machine learning, deep learning, and existing models. Y-scrambling testing confirmed that the results of the multi-task FP-GNN model were not attributed to chance correlation. Furthermore, the interpretability of the multi-task FP-GNN model enables the discovery of critical structural fragments associated with CYPs inhibition. Finally, an online webserver called DEEPCYPs and its local version software were created based on the optimal multi-task FP-GNN model to detect whether compounds bear potential inhibitory activity against CYPs, thereby promoting the prediction of drug-drug interactions in clinical practice and could be used to rule out inappropriate compounds in the early stages of drug discovery and/or identify new CYPs inhibitors.

Localising INGOs websites into Arabic: A case study of IFRC

Abstract The present study aims to compare and contrast the websites of international non-government organizations (INGOs) that make their websites available in Jordan in both Arabic and English with the purpose of identifying the content that does or does not get localised. The researchers selected the website of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) as a case study. The English version of the IFRC website is meticulously set off against its Arabic counterpart. This study draws on Olvera-Lobo and Castillo-Rodríguez’s (2019) suggested framework with regards to the linguistic and cultural aspects of localised websites. The study concludes that the recommendations related to linguistic and cultural aspects of website localisation presented by Olvera-Lobo and Castillo-Rodríguez (2019) have proven to be valuable in assessing the localised versions of INGOs as they cover a wide range of facets needed by the target readerships.

ON THE LOCAL KREISS RESOLVENT CONDITION

We introduce a local version of the Kreiss resolvent condition for Banach space operators and we relate it to the local growth of powers. Also, we introduce a local Yosida approximation and we establish some local results.

Incorporating fractional operators into interaction dynamics studies: An eco-epidemiological model

Analytical solutions are the most effective tools for understanding phenomena modeled with differential equations. On the other hand, analytical solvers may be limited in their ability to handle complex problems and we are forced to rely on approximate and numerical methods. Through the investigation of two types of fractional operators, this article aims to investigate both approaches to studying the interactive dynamics of an eco-epidemiological diffusion model. We consider two differential operators in our main model: local beta time and non-local Riesz space fractional derivative. Firstly, we propose novel classes of soliton wave solutions for the local time fractional version of the system using two efficient analytical methods. In the second part of the paper, we consider the case where the second-order space derivative operator in the problem is of the type of Riesz fractional operator that is non-local. A finite difference scheme is the main idea behind discretizing this fractional system. Throughout this article, we highlight the validity and efficiency of both analytical and numerical perspectives. The results can be examined by epidemiologists for a more comprehensive interpretation.

Exactly two and exactly three near-coherence classes

We prove that for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] there is a forcing extension with exactly n near-coherence classes of non-principal ultrafilters. We introduce localized versions of Matet forcing and we develop Ramsey spaces of names. The evaluation of some of the new forcings is based on a relative of Hindman’s theorem due to Blass 1987.

Implementation through translation: a qualitative case study of translation processes in the implementation of quality improvement collaboratives

BackgroundQuality improvement collaboratives (QICs) are used extensively to implement quality improvement in healthcare, and current research is demonstrating positive yet varying evidence. To interpret the effectiveness results, it is necessary to illuminate the dynamics of QIC implementation in specific contexts. Using Scandinavian institutionalist translation theory as a theoretical framework, this study aims to make two contributions. First, we provide insights into the dynamics of the translation processes inherent in QIC implementation. Second, we discuss the implications of the translation processes as experienced by participating actors.MethodsWe used empirical data from a qualitative case study investigating the implementation of QICs as an approach to quality improvement within a national Danish healthcare quality program. We included two diverse QICs to allow for exploration of the significance of organizational complexity for the translation processes. Data comprised qualitative interviews, participant observation and documentary material.ResultsTranslation was an inherent part of QIC implementation. Key actors at different organizational levels engaged in translation of their implementation roles, and the QIC content and methodology. They drew on different translation strategies and practices that mainly materialized as kinds of modification. The translations were motivated by deliberate, strategic, and pragmatic rationales, contingent on combinations of features of the actors’ organizational contexts, and the transformability and organizational complexity of the QICs. The findings point to a transformative power of translation, as different translations led to various regional and local QIC versions. Furthermore, the findings indicate that translation affects the outcomes of the implementation process and the QIC intervention. Translation may positively affect the institutionalization of the QICs and the creation of professional engagement and negatively influence the QIC effects.ConclusionThe findings extends the current research concerning the understanding of the dynamics of the translation processes embedded in the local implementation of QICs, and thus constitute a valuable contribution to a more sustainable and effective implementation of QICs in healthcare improvement. For researchers and practitioners, this highlights translation as an embedded part of the QIC implementation process, and encourages detailed attention to the implications of translation for both organizational institutionalization and realisation of the expected intervention outcomes.

Peano property, two dimensional triangles, constant curvature

In the present note, we discuss the connection of the convex geometric and the analytic properties of the underlying manifold. As an application of the main results we show that in Riemannian manifolds of dimension at least three, local versions the Peano property, the drop completeness, or the “thinness” of triangles are equivalent with having constant curvature, and global versions characterize Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces among Cartan–Hadamard manifolds.

The Dead Sleep Quiet: History of the Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument Phenomenon in Canada – Part II

A US-sourced set of false law concepts, “pseudolaw,” entered into Canada circa 2000. A localized version of pseudolaw was adopted by two ideologically distinct Canadian populations: (1) Detaxers, and (2) Freemen-on-the-Land. This article investigates the fate of these “first-wave” pseudolaw phenomena, and their direct descendants. Each remain largely dead and inactive, despite near ideal conditions for a resurgence. This pattern is unexpected, since pseudolaw thrives and expands in stress situations.

Estimating spatiotemporal aggregation scales by revisiting the spatiotemporal L‐function

AbstractAs an important statistical tool for spatial data, the L‐function is widely used in the estimation of the spatial aggregation scale. However, for heterogeneous spatiotemporal points, the formulation of the existing spatiotemporal L‐function makes it liable to produce poor estimates of spatiotemporal aggregation scales, which is essential in revealing process evolutions, such as spatiotemporal scopes of seismic sequence and spatiotemporal spread extents of an epidemic. This technical note analyzes the mechanism whereby the existing L‐function incorrectly estimates the spatiotemporal aggregation scales, and presents a modified spatiotemporal L‐function that overcomes these issues. Moreover, a local version of the improved L‐function is developed to identify aggregations for validation. The results of simulation experiments and a seismic case study demonstrate that our method estimates the spatiotemporal aggregation scales accurately, which verify the veracity of our corrections to the existing spatiotemporal L‐function.

Analytical Models of Time-Dependent Physical Fields of the Earth: Local Version

A new method for analytical description of time-dependent signals of different nature based on local and regional versions of the method of linear integral representations in spaces of different dimensions is proposed. The inverse problem of finding the field sources is reduced to solving ill-conditioned systems of linear algebraic equations with an approximate right-hand side. The results of a mathematical experiment on finding elements of nonstationary gravity and magnetic fields of the Earth are presented.

THE IMPACT OF CLOUD COMPUTING AS ONE OF THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUES ON THE DESIGN OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

In light of the changes in the world and the emergence of modern digital technologies and the increase in the use of information and communication technologies that affected the accounting business environment in general and the accounting information systems environment in particular, and the economic units’ dependence on cloud computing technology to facilitate their accounting work, it was necessary to clarify the concept of this technology and its impact on The design of accounting information systems AIS, and this research aims to show the conceptual and practical framework of cloud computing and their impact on the design of the accounting information system, and the implications of using digital cloud computing technology on the design of the accounting information system. The problem of the study was to answer several questions, namely: Is there an impact of cloud computing technology on the design of accounting information systems in the economic unit? Do cloud computing technologies contribute to improving the quality of accounting information system design? Will the use of cloud computing technologies in economic units increase the effectiveness of their accounting information system and lead to reducing costs and achieving goals? The aim of the research is to show the way in which cloud computing technology affects the design of accounting information systems. This research follows the descriptive approach through the available studies, whether in foreign or Arabic references, or on the World Wide Web (Internet).The study reached a number of results, the most important of which is that accounting information systems provide information of great importance. Cloud computing One of the techniques of digital transformation is one of the modern technical means in the field of accounting information systems that provide many information services through the Internet as a result of the increase in the volume of information and the high costs of storing and managing it. Cloud computing Scalability, low cost of exploitation, site independence, device independence and agility because it works to provide paid and guaranteed services on demand, while providing access to them in easy ways, thus saving effort, as well as a lot of money spent on software purchases because computing technology The cloud helps to develop accounting information systems because cloud service providers invest money and resources to provide the best services in the context of competition, which makes these services characterized by quality, development, ease of use, and lower costs. The research recommends adopting the cloud in data storage when designing accounting information systems and increasing the number of studies on this subject. The study also recommended the need for the management of economic units to follow up on the local and international versions of cloud computing technologies and their risks and the most important risks to avoid these risks.

The local reduced minimum modulus on a Hilbert space

Let H be a complex Hilbert space and let \({\mathcal {B}}(H)\) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. In this paper, for \(T\in {\mathcal {B}}(H)\) and a unit vector \(x\in H\), we introduce a local version of the reduced minimum modulus of T at x, noted by \(\gamma (T, x)\). Properties of this quantity are investigated. We study the relations between \(\gamma (T, x)\) and the Moore–Penrose inverse, spectrum of \(\vert T\vert \) and the local spectrum of \(\vert T\vert \) at x. At the end of this paper we will be interested in several problems around this quantity (preserving, continuity, local spectral theory).

Null surface thermodynamics in topologically massive gravity

We study three dimensional topologically massive gravity (TMG) in presence of a generic codimension one null boundary. The existence of the boundary is accounted for by enlarging the Hilbert space of the theory by degrees of freedom which only reside at the boundary, the boundary degrees of freedom. The solution phase space of this theory in addition to bulk massive chiral gravitons of the TMG, involves boundary modes which are labeled by surface charges associated with large diffeomorphisms. We show boundary degrees of freedom obey a local thermodynamic description over the solution phase space, null surface thermodynamics, described by a local version of the first law, a local Gibbs–Duhem equation, and local zeroth law. Due to the expansion of the boundary and also the passage of the bulk mode through the boundary, our null surface thermodynamics describes an open boundary system that is generically out of thermal equilibrium.

Stakeholders’ views on programming in Japanese elementary schools: current issues and future perspectives in music

Three years after Japan integrated programming into all elementary school subjects, questions remain on how policy is being put into practice in arts education. This article examines the current state of programming – activities addressing a local version of computational thinking – in music, with a focus on Japan’s pending challenges. First, an analysis of 23 activity reports sheds light on the main features of implementation efforts conducted by elementary school teachers from all over the country. Notably, compliance with official guidelines seems to have been prioritized over subject-specific contents, and, in some cases, the mere use of digital technologies in the classroom appears to be more relevant than programming and music-making goals. Following that, two key stakeholders – Japanese professionals engaged in planning and implementing programming in music in elementary schools – provide insights on its present state and future prospects through an open questionnaire. Their often-contrasting answers include perspectives on learning goals, teachers’ skills and assessment, as well as their expectations and concerns. A number of unresolved issues and tensions persist regarding how subject contents and programming should be balanced. Given this situation, final remarks address how music-centered, postdigital views of programming may inform future initiatives in the intersection of computing science and music education.

On various types of density of numerical radius attaining operators

In this paper, we are interested in studying Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás type properties related to the denseness of the operators which attain their numerical radius. We prove that every Banach space with a micro-transitive norm and the second numerical index strictly positive satisfies the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás point property, and we see that the one-dimensional space is the only one with both the numerical index 1 and the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás point property. We also consider two weaker properties L -nu and L -nu, the local versions of Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás point and operator properties respectively, where the η which appears in their definition does not depend just on but also on a state or on a numerical radius one operator T. We address the relation between the L -nu and the strong subdifferentiability of the norm of the space X. We show that finite dimensional spaces and are examples of Banach spaces satisfying the L -nu, and we exhibit an example of a Banach space with a strongly subdifferentiable norm failing it. We finish the paper by showing that finite dimensional spaces satisfy the L -nu and that, if X has a strictly positive numerical index and has the approximation property, this property is equivalent to finite dimensionality.

Failure of the local chain rule for the fractional variation

We prove that the local version of the chain rule cannot hold for the fractional variation defined in in our previous article (2019). In the case n = 1 , we prove a stronger result, exhibiting a function f \in BV^{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}) such that \vert f \vert \notin BV^{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}) . The failure of the local chain rule is a consequence of some surprising rigidity properties for non-negative functions with bounded fractional variation which, in turn, are derived from a fractional Hardy inequality localized to half-spaces. Our approach exploits the distributional techniques developed in our previous works (2019–2022). As a byproduct, we refine the fractional Hardy inequality obtained in works of Shieh and Spector (2018) and Spector (2020) and we prove a fractional version of the closely related Meyers–Ziemer trace inequality.
