For a set of relevant target molecules (CO, NH 3 , H 2 S) and the main components\nof air (N 2 , O 2 , H 2 O), we calculate the binding energy and change in conductance upon adsorption on a metal\natom occupying a vacancy of a (6,6) carbon nanotube. Based on these descriptors, we identify the most promis-\ning dopant candidates for detection of a given target molecule. From the fractional coverage of the metal sites\nin thermal equilibrium with air, we estimate the change in the nanotube resistance per doping site as a function\nof the target molecule concentration assuming charge transport in the diffusive regime. Our analysis points to\nNi-doped nanotubes as candidates for CO sensors working under typical atmospheric conditions.\nPACS numbers: 73.63.- b, 68.43.- h, 73.50.Lw\nThe ability to detect small concentrations of specific chem-\nical species is fundamental for a variety of industrial and sci-\nentific processes as well as for medical applications and en-\nvironmental monitoring [ 1 ]. In general, nanostructured mate-\nrials should be well suited for sensor applications because of\ntheir large surface to volume ratio which makes them sensi-\ntive to molecular adsorption. Specifically, carbon nanotubes\n(CNT) [ 2 ] have been shown to work remarkably well as de-\ntectors of small gas molecules. This has been demonstrated\nboth for individual CNTs [ 3 - 8 ] as well as for CNT networks\n[ 9 , 10 ].\nPristine CNTs are known to be chemically inert - a prop-\nerty closely related to their high stability. As a consequence,\nonly radicals bind strong enough to the CNT to notably affect\nits electrical properties [ 2 , 5 , 11 - 13 ].

Ideally, this type of functionalization could\nbe used to control not only the reactivity of the CNT but also\nthe selectivity towards specific chemical species.\nIn this work we consider the possibility of using CNTs\ndoped by 3d transition metal atoms for chemical gas sens-\ning. We use computational screening to systematically iden-\ntify the most promising dopant candidates for detection of\nthree different target molecules (CO, NH 3 , H 2 S) under typi-\ncal atmospheric conditions. The screening procedure is based\non the calculation of two microscopic descriptors: the bind-\ning energy and scattering resistance of the molecules when\nadsorbed on a doped CNT. These two quantities give a good\nindication of the gas coverage and impact on the resistance.\nFor the most promising candidates we then employ a simple\nthermodynamic model of the CNT sensor. In this model, the\nbinding energies are used to obtain the fractional coverage of\nthe metallic sites as a function of the target molecule concen-\ntration under ambient conditions. Under the assumption of\ntransport in the diffusive rather than localization regime, the\nchange in CNT resistivity may then be obtained from the cal-\nculated coverages and single impurity conductances.\nWe find that oxidation of the active metal site passivates\nthe sensor in the case of doping by Ti, V, Cr, and Mn un-\nder standard conditions (room temperature and 1 bar of pres-\nsure). Among the remaining metals, we identify Ni as is the\nmost promising candidate for CO detection. For this system\nthe change in resistance per active site is generally significant\n( *>* 1 Ω ) for small changes in CO concentration in the relevant\nrange of around 0.1- 10 ppm. Our approach is quite general\nand is directly applicable to other nanostructures than CNTs,\nother functionalizations than metal doping, and other back-\ngrounds than atmospheric air.\nAll total energy calculations and structure optimizations\nhave been performed with the real-space density functional\ntheory (DFT) code GPAW [ 22 ] which is based on the projector augmented wave method.

As an example, Fig. 3 (a)-(c) shows the\nfractional coverage of a Ni atom occupying a monovacancy,\ndivacancy I, and divacancy II, versus CO concentration in a\nbackground of air at room temperature and 1 bar of pressure.\nDue to the relatively small binding energy of N 2 and H 2 O as\ncompared to O 2 and CO, all Ni sites will be either empty or occupied by O 2 or CO. In particular, Ni in a monovacancy (top panel of Fig. 3 ) will be completely oxidized for all rel-\nevant CO concentrations. For the Ni occupied divacancy II\nstructures we find the coverage of CO changes significantly\naround toxic concentrations ( *∼* 10 ppm).

In Fig. 2 (b) we show the calculated\nchange in conductance relative to the metal site with no ad-\nsorbate. In contrast to the binding energies, there are no clear\ntrends in the conductances. The sensitivity of the conductance\nis perhaps most clearly demonstrated by the absence of cor-\nrelation between different types of vacancies, i.e. between the\nthree panels in Fig. 2 (b). Close to the Fermi level, the conduc-\ntance of a perfect armchair CNT equals 2 *G* 0 .

On the other hand, the total number of\ndopants, *N* , should be large enough for the statistical treat-\nment of the coverage to hold. Finally, we stress that Eq. ( 7 )\nrepresents a conservative estimate of the change in resistance.\nIn fact, in the regime where *l* *φ* *> l* loc , i.e. in the Anderson\nlocalization regime, the resistance would be highly sensitive\nto changes in the fractional coverage of active sites. Calcula-\ntion of the actual resistance of the CNT in this regime would,\nhowever, involve a full transport calculation in the presence of\nall *N* impurities. At this point it suffices to see that the con-\nservative estimates obtained from Eq. ( 7 ) predict measurable\nsignals in response to small changes in concentration of the\ntarget molecules.\nTo our knowledge, controlled doping of CNTs with transi-\ntion metal atoms has so far not been achieved. It has, how-\never, been found that metal atoms incorporated into the CNT\nlattice during catalytic growth are afterwards very difficult to\nremove [ 30 ]. Furthermore, it has been shown that CNT vacan-\ncies, which are needed for the metallic doping, may be formed\nin a controlled way by irradiation by Ar ions [ 31 ]. This sug-\ngests that metallic doping of CNTs should be possible.\nIn summary, we have presented a general model of nanos-\ntructured chemical sensors which takes the adsorption en-\nergies of the relevant chemical species and their individual\nscattering resistances as the only input.

Within that level of\ndescription, simple phenomenological models such as the\nprimitive model (PM), for which the ions are assimi-\nlated to charged hard spheres [2], can lead to explicit\nformulas for the thermodynamic and structural proper-\nties (e.g., with the help of the mean spherical approxima-\ntion (MSA) [3] or the binding MSA (BIMSA) [4]). These\nmodels are the most practical to use [5], since they allow\nfor a direct link between the experimental measurements\nand the microscopic parameters of the system. Never-\ntheless, they ignore the molecular structure of the sol-\nvent. Consequently, they cannot properly account for\nthe complex specific effects of the ions, which appear in\nnumerous biological, chemical, and physical interfacial\nphenomena [6, 7], without further developments.\nAn alternative procedure consists in carrying out\nmolecular simulations, where both the solvent and solute\nare treated explicitly. After a rigorous averaging over\nthe solvent configurations, a coarse-grained description\nof the ions, which still includes the effect of the solvent\nstructure, can be obtained [8- 11]. However, this set of\nmethods is purely numeric; they do not provide any an-\nalytical expression for thermodynamic quantities.

The principle of LPT is to\ndescribe the properties of a given system in terms of\nthose of a well known reference system, with the differ-\nence between them treated as a perturbation in the ref-\nerence potential.

We recall that in this model the\nself-energy in the SCS state was obtained by just cutting\nthe NS self energy at ω 1 (see Eq.18). We argue that\nthis phenomenological formalism is not fully consistent,\nat least for small α . Indeed, for α = 0, the MFLI model\nreduces to BCSI model for which the behavior of the self-\nenergy is given by Eq. (12). This self-energy evolves with\nω and Σ ′′ has a square-root singularity at ω = ∆+ ω o\n(with ω o = 0). Meanwhile Σ ′′ in the original MFLI model\nin Eq.

The mind-body problem is\nmore general than the hard problem of consciousness, since it is the problem of discovering how the mind\nand body relate in general, thereby implicating any theoretical framework that broaches the topic. The\nhard problem, in contrast, is often construed as a problem uniquely faced by physicalist or materialist\ntheories of mind.\nThe philosopher Thomas Nagel posited in his 1974 paper \"What Is It Like to Be a Bat?\" that experiences\nare essentially subjective (accessible only to the individual undergoing them—i.e., felt only by the one\nfeeling them), while physical states are essentially objective (accessible to multiple individuals). So he\nargued we have no idea what it could mean to claim that an essentially subjective state just *is* an\nessentially non-subjective state (i.e., that a felt state is nothing but a functional state). In other words, we\nhave no idea of what reductivism amounts to. [31] He believes \"every subjective phenomenon is\nessentially connected with a single point of view, and it seems inevitable that an objective, physical\ntheory will abandon that point of view.\" [31]\n[In 1983, the philosopher Joseph Levine proposed that there is an ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Levine_(philosopher)) *explanatory gap* between our\nunderstanding of the physical world and our understanding of consciousness. [42]\nLevine's disputes that conscious states are reducible to neuronal or brain states. He uses the example of\n[pain (as an example of a conscious state) and its reduction to the firing of c-fibers (a kind of nerve cell).](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_C_nerve_fiber)\nThe difficulty is as follows: even if consciousness is physical, it is not clear which physical states\ncorrespond to which conscious states. The bridges between the two levels of description will be\n[contingent, rather than necessary. This is significant because in most contexts, relating two scientific](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necessity_and_sufficiency)\nlevels of descriptions (such as physics and chemistry) is done with the assurance of necessary\nconnections between the two theories (for example, chemistry follows with necessity from physics).

[27] Pinker later said, in 2018, \"In the end I still\nthink that the hard problem is a meaningful conceptual problem, but agree with Dennett that it is not a\nmeaningful scientific problem. No one will ever get a grant to study whether you are a zombie or whether\nthe same Captain Kirk walks on the deck of the Enterprise and the surface of Zakdorn. And I agree with\nseveral other philosophers that it may be futile to hope for a solution at all, precisely because it is a\nconceptual problem, or, more accurately, a problem with our concepts.\" [28] [ Daniel Dennett and Patricia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Churchland)\n[Churchland, among others, believe that the hard problem is best seen as a collection of easy problems that](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Churchland)\nwill be solved through further analysis of the brain and behaviour. [29][30]\nConsciousness is an ambiguous term. It can be used to mean self consciousness, awareness, the state of\n[being awake, and so on. Chalmers uses Thomas Nagel's definition of consciousness: \"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Nagel) *the feeling of what*\n*it is like to be something.\"* Consciousness, in this sense, is synonymous with *experience.* [31][27]\n. . .even when we have explained the performance of all the cognitive and behavioral functions\nin the vicinity of experience—perceptual discrimination, categorization, internal access, verbal\nreport—there may still remain a further unanswered question: *Why is the performance of these*\n*functions accompanied by experience?*\n— David Chalmers, Facing up to the problem of consciousness\nThe problems of consciousness, Chalmers argues, are of two kinds: the *easy problems* and the *hard*\n*problem* .\n[The easy problems are amenable to reductive inquiry. They are a logical consequence of lower-level facts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_consequence)\nabout the world, similar to how a clock's ability to tell time is a logical consequence of its clockwork and\nstructure, or a hurricane being a logical consequence of the structures and functions of certain weather", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "wikipedia2.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Hard problem of consciousness\n\n## **Hard problem of consciousness**\n\n### **Relationship to scientific frameworks**\n\n#### **Global workspace theory**\n\nof qualia and argued that Chalmers' \"easy problems\" of consciousness are actually the hard problems. [20]\nHe further stated that the \"hard problem\" is based only upon ill-defined intuitions that are continually\nshifting as understanding evolves: [20]\nOnce our intuitions are educated by cognitive neuroscience and computer simulations,\nChalmers' hard problem will evaporate.

[Just as science dispatched vitalism] the science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitalism)\nof consciousness will keep eating away at the hard problem of consciousness until it\nvanishes.\nIn 2018, Chalmers highlighted what he calls the \" **meta-problem of consciousness** \", another problem\nrelated to the hard problem of consciousness: [76]\nThe meta-problem of consciousness is (to a first approximation) the problem of explaining\nwhy we think that there is a [hard] problem of consciousness.\n[In his \"second approximation\", he says it is the problem of explaining the behavior of \"phenomenal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness#Types_of_consciousness)\nreports\", and the behavior of expressing a belief that there is a hard problem of consciousness. [76]\nExplaining its significance, he says: [76]\nAlthough the meta-problem is strictly speaking an easy problem, it is deeply connected to the\nhard problem. We can reasonably hope that a solution to the meta-problem will shed\nsignificant light on the hard problem.

After Frankish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Dennett)\n[published a paper in the Journal of Consciousness Studies titled ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Consciousness_Studies) *Illusionism as a Theory of*\n*Consciousness,* [60] Dennett responded with his own paper with the spin-off title *Illusionism as the*\n*Obvious Default Theory of Consciousness.* [61] Dennett has been arguing for the illusory status of\nconsciousness since early on in his career. For example, in 1979 he published a paper titled *On the*\n*[Absence of Phenomenology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(philosophy))* (where he argues for the nonexistence of phenomenal consciousness). [70]\n[Similar ideas have been explicated in his 1991 book Consciousness Explained.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness_Explained) [71] Dennett argues that the\nso-called \"hard problem\" will be solved in the process of solving what Chalmers terms the \"easy\nproblems\". [16] He compares consciousness to stage magic and its capability to create extraordinary\nillusions out of ordinary things. [72] To show how people might be commonly fooled into overstating the\n[accuracy of their introspective abilities, he describes a phenomenon called change blindness, a visual](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_blindness)\nprocess that involves failure to detect scenery changes in a series of alternating images. [73] He\naccordingly argues that consciousness need not be what it seems to be based on introspection. To address\nthe question of the hard problem, or how and why physical processes give rise to experience, Dennett\nstates that the phenomenon of having experience is nothing more than the performance of functions or the\nproduction of behavior, which can also be referred to as the easy problems of consciousness. [16] Thus,\nDennett argues that the hard problem of experience is included among—not separate from—the easy\nproblems, and therefore they can only be explained together as a cohesive unit. [72]\n[Eliminativists differ on the role they believe intuitive judgement plays in creating the apparent reality of](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuition)\n[consciousness. The philosopher Jacy Reese Anthis is of the position that this issue is born of an](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacy_Reese_Anthis)\noverreliance on intuition, calling philosophical discussions on the topic of consciousness a form of\n\"intuition jousting\". [74] But when the issue is tackled with \"formal argumentation\" and \"precise\nsemantics\" then the hard problem will dissolve.

[1] The easy problems are amenable to functional explanation—that is, explanations\nthat are mechanistic or behavioral—since each physical system can be explained (at least in principle)\npurely by reference to the \"structure and dynamics\" that underpin the phenomenon. [1][3]\nProponents of the hard problem argue that it is categorically different from the easy problems since no\nmechanistic or behavioral explanation could explain the character of an experience, not even in principle.\nEven after all the relevant functional facts are explicated, they argue, there will still remain a further\nquestion: \"why is the performance of these functions accompanied by experience?\" [1] To bolster their\ncase, proponents of the hard problem frequently turn to various philosophical thought experiments,\n[involving philosophical zombies (which, they claim, are conceivable) or inverted qualia, or the claimed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_spectrum)\n[ineffability of colour experiences, or the claimed unknowability of foreign states of consciousness, such](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_Argument)\n[as the experience of being a bat.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_is_it_like_to_be_a_bat%3F)\nThe terms \"hard problem\" and \"easy problems\" were\n[coined by the philosopher David Chalmers in a 1994 talk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Chalmers)\n[given at The Science of Consciousness conference held in](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Science_of_Consciousness)\nTucson, Arizona. [4] The following year, the main talking\npoints of Chalmers' talk were published in *[The Journal of](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Journal_of_Consciousness_Studies)*\n*[Consciousness ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Journal_of_Consciousness_Studies)* *Studies* . [1] The publication gained\nsignificant attention from consciousness researchers and\nbecame the subject of a special volume of the journal, [5][6]\nwhich was later published into a book. [7] In 1996,\nChalmers published *[The Conscious Mind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conscious_Mind)* , a book-length\ntreatment of the hard problem, in which he elaborated on", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "wikipedia2.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Hard problem of consciousness\n\n## **Hard problem of consciousness**\n\n### **Overview**\n\n#### **Chalmers' formulation**\n\n##### **Easy problems**\npatterns. A clock, a hurricane, and the easy problems, are all the sum of their parts (as are most\nthings). [27]\nThe easy problems relevant to consciousness concern mechanistic analysis of the neural processes that\naccompany behaviour. Examples of these include how sensory systems work, how sensory data is\nprocessed in the brain, how that data influences behaviour or verbal reports, the neural basis of thought\nand emotion, and so on. They are problems that can be analyzed through \"structures and functions\". [27]\nThe hard problem, in contrast, is the problem of *why* and *how* those processes are accompanied by\nexperience. [1] It may further include the question of why these processes are accompanied by this or that\nparticular experience, rather than some other kind of experience. In other words, the hard problem is the\nproblem of explaining why certain mechanisms are accompanied by conscious experience. [27] For\nexample, why should neural processing in the brain lead to the felt sensations of, say, feelings of hunger?\nAnd why should those neural firings lead to feelings of hunger rather than some other feeling (such as,\nfor example, feelings of thirst)?\nChalmers argues that it is conceivable that the relevant behaviours associated with hunger, or any other\n[feeling, could occur even in the absence of that feeling. This suggests that experience is irreducible to](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducibility)\nphysical systems such as the brain. This is the topic of the next section.\nChalmers believes that the hard problem is irreducible to the easy problems: solving the easy problems\nwill not lead to a solution to the hard problems. This is because the easy problems pertain to the causal\nstructure of the world while the hard problem pertains to consciousness, and facts about consciousness\ninclude facts that go beyond mere causal or structural description. [32]\nFor example, suppose someone were to stub their foot and yelp. In this scenario, the easy problems are\nmechanistic explanations that involve the activity of the nervous system and brain and its relation to the", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "wikipedia2.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Hard problem of consciousness\n\n## **Hard problem of consciousness**\n\n### **Philosophical responses**\n\n#### **Commentary on the problem's explanatory targets**\n\nToday there is a strong tendency to simply *equate* consciousness with the qualia. Yet there is\nclearly something not quite right about this. The \"itchiness of itches\" and the \"hurtfulness of\npain\" are qualities we are conscious *of* . So philosophy of mind tends to treat consciousness as\nif it consisted simply of the contents of consciousness (the phenomenal qualities), while it\nreally is precisely *consciousness* of contents, the very givenness of whatever is subjectively\ngiven. And therefore the problem of consciousness does not pertain so much to some alleged\n\"mysterious, nonpublic objects\", i.e. objects that seem to be only \"visible\" to the respective\nsubject, but rather to the nature of \"seeing\" itself (and in today’s philosophy of mind\nastonishingly little is said about the latter). [129]\nMost neuroscientists and cognitive scientists believe that Chalmers' alleged \"hard problem\" will be\nsolved, or be shown to not be a real problem, in the course of the solution of the so-called \"easy\nproblems\", although a significant minority disagrees. [9][130]\n[Since 1990, researchers including the molecular biologist Francis Crick and the neuroscientist Christof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christof_Koch)\n[Koch have made significant progress toward identifying which neurobiological events occur concurrently](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christof_Koch)\nto the experience of subjective consciousness. [131] These postulated events are referred to as *neural*\n*correlates of consciousness* or NCCs. However, this research arguably addresses the question of *which*\nneurobiological mechanisms are linked to consciousness but not the question of *why* they should give rise\nto consciousness at all, the latter being the hard problem of consciousness as Chalmers formulated it. In\n\"On the Search for the Neural Correlate of Consciousness\", Chalmers said he is confident that, granting", + "page_start": 14, + "page_end": 14, + "source_file": "wikipedia2.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Hard problem of consciousness\n\n## **Hard problem of consciousness**\n\n### **Philosophical responses**\n\n#### **Type-A Materialism**\n\n##### **Strong reductionism**\nThe philosophers Glenn Carruthers and Elizabeth Schier said in 2012 that the main arguments for the\n[existence of a hard problem—philosophical zombies, Mary's room, and Nagel's bats—are only persuasive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_it_Like_to_Be_a_Bat%3F)\nif one already assumes that \"consciousness must be independent of the structure and function of mental\n[states, i.e. that there is a hard problem.\" Hence, the arguments beg the question. The authors suggest that](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beg_the_question)\n\"instead of letting our conclusions on the thought experiments guide our theories of consciousness, we\nshould let our theories of consciousness guide our conclusions from the thought experiments.\" [64]\n[The philosopher Massimo Pigliucci argued in 2013 that the hard problem is misguided, resulting from a](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massimo_Pigliucci)\n\"category mistake\". [17] He said: \"Of course an explanation isn't the same as an experience, but that's\nbecause the two are completely independent categories, like colors and triangles. It is obvious that I\ncannot experience what it is like to be you, but I can potentially have a complete explanation of how and\nwhy it is possible to be you.\" [17]\n[In 2017, the philosopher Marco Stango, in a paper on John Dewey's approach to the problem of](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dewey)\nconsciousness (which preceded Chalmers' formulation of the hard problem by over half a century), noted\nthat Dewey's approach would see the hard problem as the consequence of an unjustified assumption that\nfeelings and functional behaviors are not the same physical process: \"For the Deweyan philosopher, the\n'hard problem' of consciousness is a 'conceptual fact' only in the sense that it is a *philosophical mistake* :\nthe mistake of failing to see that the physical can be had as an episode of immediate sentiency.\" [65]\n[The philosopher Thomas Metzinger likens the hard problem of consciousness to vitalism, a formerly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitalism)\nwidespread view in biology which was not so much solved as abandoned. [66] Brian Jonathan Garrett has\nalso argued that the hard problem suffers from flaws analogous to those of vitalism. [67]\n[The philosopher Peter Hacker argues that the hard problem is misguided in that it asks how consciousness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hacker)\ncan emerge from matter, whereas in fact sentience emerges from the evolution of living organisms.

The reason for this is because we\nhave direct \"acquaintance\" with consciousness, but we do not have direct acquaintance with anything else\n(including anything that could inform our beliefs in consciousness being an illusion). In other words:\nconsciousness can be known directly, so the reality of consciousness is more certain than any\nphilosophical or scientific theory that says otherwise. [83] Chalmers concludes that \"there is little doubt\nthat something like the Moorean argument is the reason that most people reject illusionism and many find\nit crazy.\" [84]\nEliminative materialism and illusionism have been the subject of criticism within the popular press. One\n[highly cited example comes from the philosopher Galen Strawson who wrote an article in the New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Review_of_Books)\n[Review of Books titled \"The Consciousness Deniers\". In it, Strawson describes illusionism as the \"silliest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Review_of_Books)\nclaim ever made\", next to which \"every known religious belief is only a little less sensible than the belief\nthat the grass is green.\" [85] [ Another notable example comes from Christof Koch (a neuroscientist and one](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christof_Koch)\n[of the leading proponents of Integrated Information Theory) in his popular science book ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Information_Theory) *The Feeling of*\n*Life Itself* . In the early pages of the book, Koch describes eliminativism as the \"metaphysical counterpart\nto Cotard's syndrome, a psychiatric condition in which patients deny being alive.\" [86] Koch takes the\nprevalence of eliminativism as evidence that \"much of twentieth-century analytic philosophy has gone to\nthe dogs\". [87]\nType-B Materialism, also known as *Weak Reductionism* or *[A Posteriori Physicalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_priori_and_a_posteriori)* , is the view that the\n[hard problem stems from human psychology, and is therefore not indicative of a genuine ontological gap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology)\nbetween consciousness and the physical world.

RESULTS\nThe results obtained by MC simulations of the model\nintroduced in Sec. II will be presented starting from\nn = 16, i.e. the highest investigated film thickness which\nstill displays a bulk-like behaviour. In Fig. 2 the spe-\ncific heat for samples with n = 16 and lateral dimension\nL = 24 , 32 , 48 , 64 is shown. The location of the specific\nheat maximum shows a quite definite evolution toward\nthe bulk transition temperature, T Ho N ≃ 132 K 10 (it is\nworthwhile to note that for this XY model the mean field\ntheory predicts a critical temperature T Ho N,MF 198 K). The intensity of the maximum of c v has been analyzed\nby the MH technique for the same lateral dimensions (see\ninset of Fig. 2): it clearly appears as it increases with L\nin a smooth way.\nThe Binder cumulant for the average order parameter\ndefined in Eq. (3) was obtained close to the c v peak and is\nreported in Fig. 3a; its analysis leads to an estimate of the\ncritical temperature of the sample (given by the location\nof the common crossing point of the different curves re-\nported in the figure) of T C (16) = 133 . 2(5) This value can\nbe considered in a rather good agreement with the exper-\nimental ordering temperature of Holmium T Ho N , the rel- ative difference being about 1%. Even such a mismatch\nbetween T Ho N and T C (16) could be completely eliminated\nby slightly adjusting the in-plane coupling constant J 0 ,\nbut, as discussed in Sec. II, we shall preserve the value\nreported in Refs. 13, and 12 in order to allow for a correct\ncomparison with the results reported in those papers.\nThe development of the helical arrangement of magne-\ntization along the film growth direction was investigated\nby looking at the integral of the structure factor S ( ⃗q )\nalong the z -direction, i.e. by taking ⃗q = (0 , 0 , q z ), and\nmaking again use of the cumulant analysis in order to\nlocate the helical transition temperature at T N (16) =\n20 40 60 80 100 120 140 *T* (K)\nχ κ\n(a.u.)\n0\n0.2\n0.4\n0.6\nκ", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "1001.0510.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Interplay among helical order, surface effects and range of interacting layers in ultrathin films.\n\n## *J*\n\ndecreasing the number of the out-of-plane interactions,\nfor thicknesses close to the helical bulk pitch, the block\nphase is replaced by a quasi -FM configuration in the in-\ntermediate temperature range T N ( n ) < T < T C ( n ) .\nAs a final issue we address the problem of the order\nof the transitions observed at T N ( n ) and T C ( n ), respec-\ntively.

In Fig. 10 the equilibrium probability dis-\ntribution of the energy for temperatures around T N (8)\n(Fig. 10a) and T C (8) (Fig. 10b) is plotted: for both\ntemperatures, no double peak structure is observed, so\nthat we have no direct indication for a first order tran-\nsition even if, according to precedent studies of Loison\nand Diep 17,18 , the presence of a first-order transition at\nT N ( n ), cannot be completely excluded, as it could reveal\nitself only when the lateral dimension L are much larger\nthan the largest correlation length. The same conclusion\nabout the order of transition is reached for any other in-\nvestigated film thickness, as the energy probability distri-\nbution shape does not qualitatively change. This findings\nagree with the results we got in previous MC simulations\ndiscussed in Ref. 15, so that we may conclude that the\norder of the observed transitions is not affected by the\nrange of interactions.\n1 Frustrated spin Systems , edited by H.

For fronts that move relatively quickly these macroscopic struc-\ntures cover all the available substrate. However, when at a later stage the macroscopic front be-\ncomes slower, those fingers become scarce and ‘macroscopic fingering’ finally ceases. At this\nstage it is possible to appreciate that the seemingly dry region left behind by the front is not at all\ndry, but covered by an ultrathin ‘postcursor’ film that is itself unstable. The thickness of this film\n6\nis similar to the size of the nanoparticles. At a certain distance from the macroscopic front, the\nultrathin film starts to evolve a locally isotropic pattern of holes. The holes themselves grow in an\nunstable manner resulting in an array of isotropically branched structures as shown, e.g., above in\nFig. 1. This indicates that at least some of the patterns described in the literature may have arisen\nfrom processes in similar ultrathin ‘postcursor’ films.\nThe existence of the ultrathin ‘postcursor’ film is an experimental finding that can be drawn on\nwhen choosing a theoretical approach to account for the pattern formation (see below). Note how-\never, that at the moment there exists no explanation for its existence. A possible hypothesis is\nthat the substrate strongly attracts the nanoparticles. As a result they form a dense suspension\nlayer having a thickness roughly equal to the diameter of the nanoparticles.

In\nour simulations thickness values from 1 to 24 were con-\nsidered, while the range of lateral size L was from 8 to\n64. Periodic boundary conditions were applied along x\nand y , while free boundaries were obviously taken along\nthe film growth direction z .\nThermal equilibrium was attained by the usual\nMetropolis algorithm 19 , supplemented by the over- relaxed technique 20 in order to speed-up the sampling\nof the spin configuration space: a typical “Monte Carlo\nstep” was composed by four Metropolis and four-five\nover-relaxed moves per particle. Such judicious mix of\nmoves is able both to get faster the thermal equilibrium\nand to minimize the correlation “time” between succes-\nsive samples, i.e. the undesired effects due to lack of in-\ndependence of different samples during the measurement\nstage. For each temperature we have usually performed\nthree independent simulations, each one containing at least 2 × 10 5 measurements, taken after discarding up to 5 × 10 4 Monte Carlo steps in order to assure thermal equi-\nlibration.\nIn the proximity of the critical region the multiple his-\ntogram (MH) technique was also employed 21 , as it allows\nus to estimate the physical observables of interest over a\nwhole temperature range in a substantially continuous\nway by interpolating results obtained from sets of simu-\nlations performed at some different temperatures.\nFor all the quantities of interest, the average value and\nthe error estimate were obtained by the bootstrap re- sampling method 22 given that, as pointed out in Ref. 23,\nfor a large enough number of measurements, this method\nturns out to be more accurate than the usual blocking\ntechnique. In our implementation, we pick out randomly\na sizable number of measurements (typically, between 1 and 1 × 10 3 for the single simulation, and between 1 and 5 × 10 4 for the MH technique), and iterate the re-sampling\nat least one hundred times.\nThe thermodynamic observables we have investigated\ninclude the FM order parameter for each plane l :\nm l = � ( m x l ) 2 + ( m y l ) 2 , (2)", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "1001.0510.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Interplay among helical order, surface effects and range of interacting layers in ultrathin films.\n\n## *J*\n\nFor this purpose, we look at the temperature depen-\ndence of the rotation angle of the magnetization between\nNN planes.

In Fig. 2 the spe-\ncific heat for samples with n = 16 and lateral dimension\nL = 24 , 32 , 48 , 64 is shown. The location of the specific\nheat maximum shows a quite definite evolution toward\nthe bulk transition temperature, T Ho N ≃ 132 K 10 (it is\nworthwhile to note that for this XY model the mean field\ntheory predicts a critical temperature T Ho N,MF 198 K). The intensity of the maximum of c v has been analyzed\nby the MH technique for the same lateral dimensions (see\ninset of Fig. 2): it clearly appears as it increases with L\nin a smooth way.\nThe Binder cumulant for the average order parameter\ndefined in Eq. (3) was obtained close to the c v peak and is\nreported in Fig. 3a; its analysis leads to an estimate of the\ncritical temperature of the sample (given by the location\nof the common crossing point of the different curves re-\nported in the figure) of T C (16) = 133 . 2(5) This value can\nbe considered in a rather good agreement with the exper-\nimental ordering temperature of Holmium T Ho N , the rel- ative difference being about 1%. Even such a mismatch\nbetween T Ho N and T C (16) could be completely eliminated\nby slightly adjusting the in-plane coupling constant J 0 ,\nbut, as discussed in Sec. II, we shall preserve the value\nreported in Refs. 13, and 12 in order to allow for a correct\ncomparison with the results reported in those papers.\nThe development of the helical arrangement of magne-\ntization along the film growth direction was investigated\nby looking at the integral of the structure factor S ( ⃗q )\nalong the z -direction, i.e. by taking ⃗q = (0 , 0 , q z ), and\nmaking again use of the cumulant analysis in order to\nlocate the helical transition temperature at T N (16) =\n20 40 60 80 100 120 140 *T* (K)\nχ κ\n(a.u.)\n0\n0.2\n0.4\n0.6\nκ", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "1001.0510.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Interplay among helical order, surface effects and range of interacting layers in ultrathin films.\n\n## *J*\n\ndecreasing the number of the out-of-plane interactions,\nfor thicknesses close to the helical bulk pitch, the block\nphase is replaced by a quasi -FM configuration in the in-\ntermediate temperature range T N ( n ) < T < T C ( n ) .\nAs a final issue we address the problem of the order\nof the transitions observed at T N ( n ) and T C ( n ), respec-\ntively.

Last year, Nordstrom Rack\nwas our biggest source of new customers,\nattracting nearly 4 million. Also, a year ago,\nwe began accepting returns of HauteLook\nand Nordstromrack.com merchandise at any\nNordstrom Rack store. This drove nearly\n1 million trips to Nordstrom Rack stores in\n2014. The Nordstrom Rack customer also\ntends to be younger than our full-line customer,\nand there is a meaningful opportunity for these\ncustomers to begin shopping our full-price\nchannels as well. We plan to open 27 more\nNordstrom Racks in 2015 across the U.S.\n7\n**OUR NEW LOOK** FROM WINDOWS THAT BRING THE OUTSIDE IN TO DEPARTMENTS THAT SEAMLESSLY FLOW TOGETHER—\nOUR NEW STORE DESIGN CREATES AN EXCITING SPACE THAT CAN CHANGE WITH HOW OUR CUSTOMERS SHOP.\n**“** * **I love how you used models with** *\n* **physical challenges in your** *\n* **Anniversary catalog.

Weighted-average square footage includes a percentage of year-end square\nfootage for new stores equal to the percentage of the year during which they were open. 4-wall sales per square foot is calculated as sales for Nordstrom U.S. full-line stores,\nNordstrom Rack stores, Jeffrey boutiques, our Canada full-line store, Last Chance and Trunk Club showrooms divided by their weighted-average square footage.\nNordstrom, Inc. and subsidiaries 19\nNet Sales (2014 vs. 2013)\nIn 2014, total company net sales increased 7.8%, which was attributable to the comparable sales increase of 4.0%.

For the last several years, we further\naccelerated our level of investment to fuel\ngrowth across all our businesses—full-price,\nof-price, stores and online—to help Nordstrom\ndeliver strong results this year and support\nprofitable growth for years to come. We expect\nthese investments to drive long-term\nshareholder value.\nAs the Board of Directors looks back on the\nmany accomplishments of 2014 and ahead to the\nfuture, we support our executive management\nteam led by Blake, Pete and Erik Nordstrom.\nWe view 2014 to be a watershed moment in our\nhistory, with the successful entry into Canada,\nthe expansion of the Rack business through store\ngrowth, the launch of Nordstromrack.com and\nthe acquisition of Trunk Club. These milestones\nare the outcome of our strategy, which is squarely\nfocused on serving customers on their terms and\ndelivering the Nordstrom experience they expect\nfrom us.

We offer Topshop merchandise at 53 full-line stores and online, with\nplans to reach over 80 stores in 2015. Our new partnership with Madewell in 2015, initially available at 15 of our stores and online, is another\nway to provide sought-after brands that appeal to new and existing customers.\nIn 2014, we opened our first full-line store in Canada in Calgary, Alberta, reflecting a multi-year effort from our team to address the unique\nchallenges of crossing the border. With our store outperforming our expectations, we are encouraged with our customers’ response in this\nmarket. We are looking forward to opening stores in 2015 in Ottawa, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia. In the U.S. we increased our\npresence with two full-line stores in The Woodlands, Texas and Jacksonville, Florida. In 2015, we plan to open three full-line stores in Puerto\nRico, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.\nAt Nordstrom Rack, we offer customers great brands at great prices, with 48 of the top 50 full-line brands represented. We opened 27\nNordstrom Rack stores in 2014, a record number of openings, contributing to Nordstrom Rack’s total sales growth of 17%.\nOur online businesses continue to be our fastest-growing channels. In the spring of 2014, we expanded our capabilities through the launch of\nNordstromrack.com, providing a seamless integration with HauteLook. We more than doubled our merchandise selection, which accelerated\ngrowth in this channel in the second half of 2014. Demonstrating synergies across our businesses, we enabled customers to return\npurchases from HauteLook and Nordstromrack.com to any of our Nordstrom Rack stores, which drove nearly one million incremental trips to\nNordstrom Rack stores.\nNordstrom.com finished its fifth consecutive year of approximately 20% or more comparable sales growth, with a key driver being increased\nmerchandise selection.

We offer an extensive selection of high-quality\nbrand-name and private label merchandise focused on apparel, shoes, cosmetics and accessories. Our integrated Nordstrom full-line stores\nand online store allow us to provide our customers with a seamless shopping experience. In-store purchases are primarily fulfilled from that\nstore’s inventory, but when inventory is unavailable at that store it may also be shipped to our customers from our fulfillment center in Cedar\nRapids, Iowa, or from other Nordstrom full-line stores. Online purchases are primarily shipped to our customers from our Cedar Rapids\nfulfillment center, but may also be shipped from our Nordstrom full-line stores. Our customers can also pick up online orders in our Nordstrom\nfull-line stores if inventory is available at one of our locations. These capabilities allow us to better serve customers across various channels\nand improve sales. Nordstrom Rack stores purchase high-quality brand-name merchandise primarily from the same vendors carried in\nNordstrom full-line stores and also serve as outlets for clearance merchandise from our Nordstrom stores and other retail channels. During\nthe year, we launched Nordstromrack.com and the associated mobile app. Nordstromrack.com combines the technology expertise of\nHauteLook with the merchant expertise of Nordstrom Rack. Nordstromrack.com and HauteLook offer limited-time sale events on fashion and\nlifestyle brands as well as a persistent selection of off-price, high-quality brand-name merchandise and are integrated with a single customer\nlog-in, shared shopping cart and streamlined checkout process. Furthermore, we can accommodate returns from these sites by mail or at\nany Nordstrom Rack location.\nOur **Credit** segment includes our wholly owned federal savings bank, Nordstrom fsb, through which we provide a private label credit card,\ntwo Nordstrom Visa credit cards and a debit card. The credit and debit cards feature a loyalty program designed to increase customer visits\nand spending. Although the primary purposes of our Credit segment are to foster greater customer loyalty and drive more sales, we also\ngenerate revenues from finance charges and other fees on these cards. In addition, we save on interchange fees that the Retail segment\nwould incur if our customers used third-party cards.\nFor more information about our business and our reportable segments, see Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial\nCondition and Results of Operations and Note 16: Segment Reporting in Item 8: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.", + "page_start": 15, + "page_end": 15, + "source_file": "NYSE_JWN_2014.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#14.

For a set of relevant target molecules (CO, NH 3 , H 2 S) and the main components\nof air (N 2 , O 2 , H 2 O), we calculate the binding energy and change in conductance upon adsorption on a metal\natom occupying a vacancy of a (6,6) carbon nanotube. Based on these descriptors, we identify the most promis-\ning dopant candidates for detection of a given target molecule. From the fractional coverage of the metal sites\nin thermal equilibrium with air, we estimate the change in the nanotube resistance per doping site as a function\nof the target molecule concentration assuming charge transport in the diffusive regime. Our analysis points to\nNi-doped nanotubes as candidates for CO sensors working under typical atmospheric conditions.\nPACS numbers: 73.63.- b, 68.43.- h, 73.50.Lw\nThe ability to detect small concentrations of specific chem-\nical species is fundamental for a variety of industrial and sci-\nentific processes as well as for medical applications and en-\nvironmental monitoring [ 1 ]. In general, nanostructured mate-\nrials should be well suited for sensor applications because of\ntheir large surface to volume ratio which makes them sensi-\ntive to molecular adsorption. Specifically, carbon nanotubes\n(CNT) [ 2 ] have been shown to work remarkably well as de-\ntectors of small gas molecules. This has been demonstrated\nboth for individual CNTs [ 3 - 8 ] as well as for CNT networks\n[ 9 , 10 ].\nPristine CNTs are known to be chemically inert - a prop-\nerty closely related to their high stability. As a consequence,\nonly radicals bind strong enough to the CNT to notably affect\nits electrical properties [ 2 , 5 , 11 - 13 ].

The latest metals in\nthe series (Cu and Zn) bind adsorbates rather weakly in the\ndivacancy structures. We also note that O 2 binds significantly stronger than any of the three target molecules on Ti, V, Cr,\nand Mn (except for Cr in divacancy I where H 2 S is found to\ndissociate). Active sites containing these metals are therefore\nexpected to be completely passivated if oxygen is present in\nthe background. Further, we find H 2 O is rather weakly bound\nto most of the active sites. This ensures that these types of\nsensors are robust against changes in humidity.\nIn thermodynamic equilibrium [ 27 ], the coverage of the ac-\ntive sites follows from\nΘ[ *X* ] = *K* [ *X* ] *C* [ *X* ] 1 + *Y* *K* [ *Y* ] *C* [ *Y* ] *,* (4)\nwhere *K* = *k* + */k* *−* is the ratio of forward and backward rate\nconstants for the adsorption reaction,\n*K* [ *X* ] = exp � *−* *E* ads [ *X* ] + *TS* [ *X* ] *k* *B* *T* � *.* (5)\nIn these expressions *C* [ *X* ] is the concentration of species *X* ,\n*S* [ *X* ] is its gas phase entropy and *T* is the temperature.

Ideally, this type of functionalization could\nbe used to control not only the reactivity of the CNT but also\nthe selectivity towards specific chemical species.\nIn this work we consider the possibility of using CNTs\ndoped by 3d transition metal atoms for chemical gas sens-\ning. We use computational screening to systematically iden-\ntify the most promising dopant candidates for detection of\nthree different target molecules (CO, NH 3 , H 2 S) under typi-\ncal atmospheric conditions. The screening procedure is based\non the calculation of two microscopic descriptors: the bind-\ning energy and scattering resistance of the molecules when\nadsorbed on a doped CNT. These two quantities give a good\nindication of the gas coverage and impact on the resistance.\nFor the most promising candidates we then employ a simple\nthermodynamic model of the CNT sensor. In this model, the\nbinding energies are used to obtain the fractional coverage of\nthe metallic sites as a function of the target molecule concen-\ntration under ambient conditions. Under the assumption of\ntransport in the diffusive rather than localization regime, the\nchange in CNT resistivity may then be obtained from the cal-\nculated coverages and single impurity conductances.\nWe find that oxidation of the active metal site passivates\nthe sensor in the case of doping by Ti, V, Cr, and Mn un-\nder standard conditions (room temperature and 1 bar of pres-\nsure). Among the remaining metals, we identify Ni as is the\nmost promising candidate for CO detection. For this system\nthe change in resistance per active site is generally significant\n( *>* 1 Ω ) for small changes in CO concentration in the relevant\nrange of around 0.1- 10 ppm. Our approach is quite general\nand is directly applicable to other nanostructures than CNTs,\nother functionalizations than metal doping, and other back-\ngrounds than atmospheric air.\nAll total energy calculations and structure optimizations\nhave been performed with the real-space density functional\ntheory (DFT) code GPAW [ 22 ] which is based on the projector augmented wave method. We use a grid spacing of 0.2 ̊ A for\nrepresenting the density and wave functions and the PBE ex-\nchange correlation functional [ 23 ].

( 7 ).\nAs mentioned, the series coupling of individual scatterers\nshould be valid when *l* *φ* *< d* . However, even for *l* *φ* *> d* and assuming that the Anderson localization length, *l* loc in the system exceeds *l* *φ* , Eq. ( 7 ) remains valid if one replaces\nthe actual resistance *R* by the sample averaged resistance *⟨* *R* *⟩* [ 29 ]. At room temperature under ambient conditions, interac-\ntions with external degrees of freedom such as internal CNT\nphonons and vibrational modes of the adsorbed molecules\nwould rapidly randomize the phase of the electrons. There-\nfore Eq. ( 7 ) should certainly be valid in the limit of low dop-\ning concentrations. On the other hand, the total number of\ndopants, *N* , should be large enough for the statistical treat-\nment of the coverage to hold. Finally, we stress that Eq. ( 7 )\nrepresents a conservative estimate of the change in resistance.\nIn fact, in the regime where *l* *φ* *> l* loc , i.e. in the Anderson\nlocalization regime, the resistance would be highly sensitive\nto changes in the fractional coverage of active sites. Calcula-\ntion of the actual resistance of the CNT in this regime would,\nhowever, involve a full transport calculation in the presence of\nall *N* impurities. At this point it suffices to see that the con-\nservative estimates obtained from Eq. ( 7 ) predict measurable\nsignals in response to small changes in concentration of the\ntarget molecules.\nTo our knowledge, controlled doping of CNTs with transi-\ntion metal atoms has so far not been achieved. It has, how-\never, been found that metal atoms incorporated into the CNT\nlattice during catalytic growth are afterwards very difficult to\nremove [ 30 ]. Furthermore, it has been shown that CNT vacan-\ncies, which are needed for the metallic doping, may be formed\nin a controlled way by irradiation by Ar ions [ 31 ]. This sug-\ngests that metallic doping of CNTs should be possible.\nIn summary, we have presented a general model of nanos-\ntructured chemical sensors which takes the adsorption en-\nergies of the relevant chemical species and their individual\nscattering resistances as the only input. On the basis of this", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "1001.2538.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Computational Design of Chemical Nanosensors: Metal Doped Carbon Nanotubes\n\n## **Computational Design of Chemical Nanosensors: Metal Doped Carbon Nanotubes**\n\nFIG. 3: Fractional coverage Θ in thermal equilibrium of Ni in a (a)\nmonovacancy, (b) divacancy I, (c) divacancy II and (d) change in\nresistance ∆ *R* per dopant site as a function of CO concentration in\na background of air at room temperature and 1 bar of pressure. The\nreference concentration of CO is taken to be *C* 0 = 0.1 ppm. Note the\nchange from linear to log scale on the *y* -axis at ∆ *R* = 10 Ω .\nFor a given background composition we may thus estimate\nthe fractional coverages for each available adsorbate for a\ngiven type of doping. As an example, Fig. 3 (a)-(c) shows the\nfractional coverage of a Ni atom occupying a monovacancy,\ndivacancy I, and divacancy II, versus CO concentration in a\nbackground of air at room temperature and 1 bar of pressure.\nDue to the relatively small binding energy of N 2 and H 2 O as\ncompared to O 2 and CO, all Ni sites will be either empty or occupied by O 2 or CO. In particular, Ni in a monovacancy (top panel of Fig. 3 ) will be completely oxidized for all rel-\nevant CO concentrations. For the Ni occupied divacancy II\nstructures we find the coverage of CO changes significantly\naround toxic concentrations ( *∼* 10 ppm). To estimate the effect of adsorbates on the electrical con-\nductance of doped CNTs, we first consider the change in con-\nductance when a single molecule is adsorbed on a metal site of\nan otherwise pristine CNT. In Fig. 2 (b) we show the calculated\nchange in conductance relative to the metal site with no ad-\nsorbate. In contrast to the binding energies, there are no clear\ntrends in the conductances. The sensitivity of the conductance\nis perhaps most clearly demonstrated by the absence of cor-\nrelation between different types of vacancies, i.e. between the\nthree panels in Fig. 2 (b). Close to the Fermi level, the conduc-\ntance of a perfect armchair CNT equals 2 *G* 0 . The presence\nof the metal dopant leads to several dips in the transmission\nfunction known as Fano antiresonances [ 20 ]. The position\nand shape of these dips depend on the *d* -levels of the transi-\ntion metal atom, the character of its bonding to the CNT, and\nis further affected by the presence of the adsorbate molecule.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "1001.2538.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Computational Design of Chemical Nanosensors: Metal Doped Carbon Nanotubes\n\n## **Computational Design of Chemical Nanosensors: Metal Doped Carbon Nanotubes**\n\natom in the monovacancy, while all C atoms remain three-fold\ncoordinated in the divacancies. When a transition metal atom\noccupies a vacancy, the strongest bonding to the C atoms is\nthrough its *d* orbitals [ 26 ]. For this reason, Cu and Zn, which\nboth have filled d-bands, are rather unstable in the CNT. For\nthe remaining metals, adsorption in the monovacancies leads\nto quite stable structures. This is because the three-fold coor-\ndination of the C atoms and the CNT’s hexagonal structure are\nrecovered when the metal atom is inserted. On the other hand,\nmetal adsorption in divacancies is slightly less stable because\nof the resulting pentagon defects, see upper panel in Fig. 1 .

( 7 ).\nAs mentioned, the series coupling of individual scatterers\nshould be valid when *l* *φ* *< d* . However, even for *l* *φ* *> d* and assuming that the Anderson localization length, *l* loc in the system exceeds *l* *φ* , Eq. ( 7 ) remains valid if one replaces\nthe actual resistance *R* by the sample averaged resistance *⟨* *R* *⟩* [ 29 ]. At room temperature under ambient conditions, interac-\ntions with external degrees of freedom such as internal CNT\nphonons and vibrational modes of the adsorbed molecules\nwould rapidly randomize the phase of the electrons. There-\nfore Eq. ( 7 ) should certainly be valid in the limit of low dop-\ning concentrations. On the other hand, the total number of\ndopants, *N* , should be large enough for the statistical treat-\nment of the coverage to hold. Finally, we stress that Eq. ( 7 )\nrepresents a conservative estimate of the change in resistance.\nIn fact, in the regime where *l* *φ* *> l* loc , i.e. in the Anderson\nlocalization regime, the resistance would be highly sensitive\nto changes in the fractional coverage of active sites. Calcula-\ntion of the actual resistance of the CNT in this regime would,\nhowever, involve a full transport calculation in the presence of\nall *N* impurities. At this point it suffices to see that the con-\nservative estimates obtained from Eq. ( 7 ) predict measurable\nsignals in response to small changes in concentration of the\ntarget molecules.\nTo our knowledge, controlled doping of CNTs with transi-\ntion metal atoms has so far not been achieved. It has, how-\never, been found that metal atoms incorporated into the CNT\nlattice during catalytic growth are afterwards very difficult to\nremove [ 30 ]. Furthermore, it has been shown that CNT vacan-\ncies, which are needed for the metallic doping, may be formed\nin a controlled way by irradiation by Ar ions [ 31 ]. This sug-\ngests that metallic doping of CNTs should be possible.\nIn summary, we have presented a general model of nanos-\ntructured chemical sensors which takes the adsorption en-\nergies of the relevant chemical species and their individual\nscattering resistances as the only input.

When a transition metal atom\noccupies a vacancy, the strongest bonding to the C atoms is\nthrough its *d* orbitals [ 26 ]. For this reason, Cu and Zn, which\nboth have filled d-bands, are rather unstable in the CNT. For\nthe remaining metals, adsorption in the monovacancies leads\nto quite stable structures. This is because the three-fold coor-\ndination of the C atoms and the CNT’s hexagonal structure are\nrecovered when the metal atom is inserted. On the other hand,\nmetal adsorption in divacancies is slightly less stable because\nof the resulting pentagon defects, see upper panel in Fig. 1 .

Ideally, this type of functionalization could\nbe used to control not only the reactivity of the CNT but also\nthe selectivity towards specific chemical species.\nIn this work we consider the possibility of using CNTs\ndoped by 3d transition metal atoms for chemical gas sens-\ning. We use computational screening to systematically iden-\ntify the most promising dopant candidates for detection of\nthree different target molecules (CO, NH 3 , H 2 S) under typi-\ncal atmospheric conditions. The screening procedure is based\non the calculation of two microscopic descriptors: the bind-\ning energy and scattering resistance of the molecules when\nadsorbed on a doped CNT. These two quantities give a good\nindication of the gas coverage and impact on the resistance.\nFor the most promising candidates we then employ a simple\nthermodynamic model of the CNT sensor. In this model, the\nbinding energies are used to obtain the fractional coverage of\nthe metallic sites as a function of the target molecule concen-\ntration under ambient conditions. Under the assumption of\ntransport in the diffusive rather than localization regime, the\nchange in CNT resistivity may then be obtained from the cal-\nculated coverages and single impurity conductances.\nWe find that oxidation of the active metal site passivates\nthe sensor in the case of doping by Ti, V, Cr, and Mn un-\nder standard conditions (room temperature and 1 bar of pres-\nsure). Among the remaining metals, we identify Ni as is the\nmost promising candidate for CO detection. For this system\nthe change in resistance per active site is generally significant\n( *>* 1 Ω ) for small changes in CO concentration in the relevant\nrange of around 0.1- 10 ppm. Our approach is quite general\nand is directly applicable to other nanostructures than CNTs,\nother functionalizations than metal doping, and other back-\ngrounds than atmospheric air.\nAll total energy calculations and structure optimizations\nhave been performed with the real-space density functional\ntheory (DFT) code GPAW [ 22 ] which is based on the projector augmented wave method.

For a set of relevant target molecules (CO, NH 3 , H 2 S) and the main components\nof air (N 2 , O 2 , H 2 O), we calculate the binding energy and change in conductance upon adsorption on a metal\natom occupying a vacancy of a (6,6) carbon nanotube. Based on these descriptors, we identify the most promis-\ning dopant candidates for detection of a given target molecule. From the fractional coverage of the metal sites\nin thermal equilibrium with air, we estimate the change in the nanotube resistance per doping site as a function\nof the target molecule concentration assuming charge transport in the diffusive regime.

In general, nanostructured mate-\nrials should be well suited for sensor applications because of\ntheir large surface to volume ratio which makes them sensi-\ntive to molecular adsorption. Specifically, carbon nanotubes\n(CNT) [ 2 ] have been shown to work remarkably well as de-\ntectors of small gas molecules. This has been demonstrated\nboth for individual CNTs [ 3 - 8 ] as well as for CNT networks\n[ 9 , 10 ].\nPristine CNTs are known to be chemically inert - a prop-\nerty closely related to their high stability.

The latest metals in\nthe series (Cu and Zn) bind adsorbates rather weakly in the\ndivacancy structures. We also note that O 2 binds significantly stronger than any of the three target molecules on Ti, V, Cr,\nand Mn (except for Cr in divacancy I where H 2 S is found to\ndissociate). Active sites containing these metals are therefore\nexpected to be completely passivated if oxygen is present in\nthe background. Further, we find H 2 O is rather weakly bound\nto most of the active sites. This ensures that these types of\nsensors are robust against changes in humidity.\nIn thermodynamic equilibrium [ 27 ], the coverage of the ac-\ntive sites follows from\nΘ[ *X* ] = *K* [ *X* ] *C* [ *X* ] 1 + *Y* *K* [ *Y* ] *C* [ *Y* ] *,* (4)\nwhere *K* = *k* + */k* *−* is the ratio of forward and backward rate\nconstants for the adsorption reaction,\n*K* [ *X* ] = exp � *−* *E* ads [ *X* ] + *TS* [ *X* ] *k* *B* *T* � *.* (5)\nIn these expressions *C* [ *X* ] is the concentration of species *X* ,\n*S* [ *X* ] is its gas phase entropy and *T* is the temperature.

As an example, Fig. 3 (a)-(c) shows the\nfractional coverage of a Ni atom occupying a monovacancy,\ndivacancy I, and divacancy II, versus CO concentration in a\nbackground of air at room temperature and 1 bar of pressure.\nDue to the relatively small binding energy of N 2 and H 2 O as\ncompared to O 2 and CO, all Ni sites will be either empty or occupied by O 2 or CO. In particular, Ni in a monovacancy (top panel of Fig. 3 ) will be completely oxidized for all rel-\nevant CO concentrations. For the Ni occupied divacancy II\nstructures we find the coverage of CO changes significantly\naround toxic concentrations ( *∼* 10 ppm). To estimate the effect of adsorbates on the electrical con-\nductance of doped CNTs, we first consider the change in con-\nductance when a single molecule is adsorbed on a metal site of\nan otherwise pristine CNT. In Fig. 2 (b) we show the calculated\nchange in conductance relative to the metal site with no ad-\nsorbate. In contrast to the binding energies, there are no clear\ntrends in the conductances. The sensitivity of the conductance\nis perhaps most clearly demonstrated by the absence of cor-\nrelation between different types of vacancies, i.e. between the\nthree panels in Fig. 2 (b). Close to the Fermi level, the conduc-\ntance of a perfect armchair CNT equals 2 *G* 0 . The presence\nof the metal dopant leads to several dips in the transmission\nfunction known as Fano antiresonances [ 20 ]. The position\nand shape of these dips depend on the *d* -levels of the transi-\ntion metal atom, the character of its bonding to the CNT, and\nis further affected by the presence of the adsorbate molecule.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "1001.2538.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Computational Design of Chemical Nanosensors: Metal Doped Carbon Nanotubes\n\n## **Computational Design of Chemical Nanosensors: Metal Doped Carbon Nanotubes**\n\n[11] L.

The Company is the second largest office\nfurniture manufacturer in the United States and the nation’s leading\nmanufacturer and marketer of gas- and wood-burning fireplaces.\nFrom 2000 to 2003, the office furniture industry experi-\nenced an unprecedented three-year decline due to the challenging\neconomic environment. In 2003, this decline negatively impacted the\nCompany’s office furniture segment. In contrast, the housing market\nwas at record high levels during 2003, which positively impacted the\nCompany’s hearth segment. The Company outperformed its peers in\nboth segments in which it competes. The Company gained market\nshare by providing strong brands, innovative products and services,\nand greater value to its end-users. Fiscal 2003 also included an extra\nweek of activity due to the Company’s 52/53-week fiscal year.\nNet sales were $1.8 billion in 2003, as compared to $1.7 bil-\nlion in 2002. The increase in net sales reflects the 9% increase in the\nhearth segment and the additional week of business activity. In 2003\nand 2002, the Company recorded restructuring charges and accelerated\ndepreciation related to the closure and consolidation of office furniture\nfacilities totaling $15.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Gross\nmargins increased to 36.4% in 2003 from 35.4% in 2002 due to benefits\nfrom restructuring initiatives and its rapid continuous improvement\nprogram, new products, and increased price realization. The Company\nalso invested aggressively in brand building and selling initiatives in\n2003. Net income was $98.1 million or $1.68 per diluted share in 2003,\nas compared to $91.4 million or $1.55 per diluted share in 2002.\nThe Company generated $141.3 million in cash flow from\noperating activities and increased its cash position, including short-\nterm investments, by $48.6 million to $204.2 million. The Company\npaid dividends of $30.3 million and repurchased $21.5 million of its", + "page_start": 30, + "page_end": 31, + "source_file": "NYSE_HNI_2003.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "## M A T C H\n\n### H OT !\n\nfocused on distinct markets.\nImportant to our company’s success, is a strong Board\nof Directors who bring their individual skills, knowledge, and\nexperience to our company.

Cox, and M. Farooq Kathwari. We thank\nthem for their dedication. We are also pleased to welcome\nJoseph Scalzo, President, Personal Care Products, The Gillette\nCompany, to our board.\nOur CEO succession process is progressing smoothly.\nThe appointment of Stan Askren as President of HON\nINDUSTRIES and as a member of the Board of Directors,\nannounced in February 2003, was an important part of\nthis process.\nOur office furniture and hearth businesses are healthy\nand well-positioned for growth; still we continue to face a com-\npetitive business environment. We are confident of our financial\nsecurity, and certain that our transition to becoming a market-\ndriven, operationally excellent company will continue to en-\nhance shareholder value. The transformation continues. We will\nbe seeking shareholder approval, in early May 2004, to change\nthe name of HON INDUSTRIES to HNI Corporation, drawing\non our heritage while remaining true to our culture and values.\nThe new name will serve to better align the corporate identity\nwith the direction of the company, as a strategic manager of\nmultiple, distinct, and independent brands.\nWe thank our member-owners for their continued\ndedication, and look forward to the challenges and opportuni-\nties of 2004.\nJack D.

There’s a natural link with the\ncore business, for instance, given the powertrain of a forklift. However, we also benefit\nfrom other assets within Nissan, such as brand, quality, cost management, and\nmarketing activities.\nThe bottom line is that we contribute to the Company’s total profitability. We had our\nhighest sales and profit in fiscal 2004. We now lead the industry in profitability, in fact,\nwhich I believe reflects the market’s awareness of our superior quality. In this business,\nquality is everything, because our customers are investing in tools for their business.\nAs we upgrade our customer service, I think we will be in a position to become the\nmarket leader.\nProducing forklifts is the heart of our business, although we also build marine products, mostly\nfiberglass boats and outboard motors. During the year a major issue for our forklift division was\nthe rising price of steel, which seriously affects forklift production. We increased our selling price\nin response, as did the rest of the industry. Fortunately, we met or surpassed our targets in\nJapan and in Europe, where we have a plant in Spain. We were slightly below our target for the\nU.S., however, the result of a slight delay in the start of production on a new model, which\nreduced volume for the year. We have since recovered our strength in that market, which we see\nas key to our continued growth.\nA major contributor to our expansion was the release of a new forklift in Japan two years\nago. At the time we had not released a new model in over seven years. Over the coming years\nwe plan to introduce a new battery-powered model in major markets and enhance our service\nnetwork.

We discussed in Section 3 how our results compare: LLM control plane integrity is a distinct AI safety issue, but related in that: (1) control plane integrity attacks may use evasion-style techniques, and (2) control plane integrity attacks might be useful for performing evasion.\n**Prompt injection against LLMs.** Prompt injection is a class of attacks against LLMs in which the adversary manipulates the prompt, i.e., the textual input fed directly to the LLM, causing the LLM to generate outputs that satisfy some adver- sarial objective [50, 64]. Evasion attacks as discussed above can use prompt injection, jailbreaking attacks being a widely explored example in which the adversary aims to bypass some safety guardrail included in the LLM system, such as “do not output expletives” [23, 42, 54, 66, 72, 73].\nPrompt injection is also used for extraction attacks that aim to infer some information from or about the model, for example, the system prompt [50, 54, 70], training data samples [46], or model parameters [18]. In indirect prompt injection attacks [33], the adversaries do not directly interact with the target LLM, and instead inject adversarial inputs into third- party data, which is then added to the LLM prompt (intentionally or unintentionally) by the victim application and/or its users. This relates to another category of attacks that target LLM-based applications, such as RAG systems, and invalidate their integrity by exploiting the weaknesses of the underlying LLM [19, 55].", + "page_start": 16, + "page_end": 16, + "source_file": "arxiv1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# DevelopingandEvaluatingLargeLanguageModel- GeneratedEmergencyMedicine HandoffNotes + +\n\n## DevelopingandEvaluatingLargeLanguageModel- GeneratedEmergencyMedicine HandoffNotes\n\n### **Introduction**\n\nthe handoff notes.\nIn recent years there has been an accelerated interest in using LLMs to automate clinical tasks in an effort to unburden physicians and reduce burnout. 22 Computer-generated text within clinical\nnotes using natural language processing (NLP) have been overall shown to improve note completion rates, physician satisfaction, and patient outcomes. 23 Since 2018, NLP has made rapid advancements\nin health care with the discovery of the transformer model architecture, the building block of large language models (LLMs). LLMs can automate workflows such as discharge summaries, 24 radiology reports, 25 patient messaging, 26 after-visit summaries, 27 and ambient dictation 28 with various levels of perceived quality in each workflow. 29 LLMs are particularly effective at summarizing large unstructured clinical datasets, such as ED patient medical records. 30 A common concern of LLMs is\ntheir ability to hallucinate data, or LLMs generating output text that is not factually consistent with the original source content. 31 Much work has been done in health care to reduce hallucinations\nthrough building larger-parameter models trained on trillions of datasets, and then instruction fine- tuning the LLM on smaller, well-curated datasets. 32,33 LLMs can also be designed with explainability by citing inferred content back to the reference source notes. 34 For short-context length notes, using\nfew-shot prompt engineering approaches with large language models like GPT-4 can produce\nsummaries that outperform standard physician documentation in completeness and error frequency. 35 However, factual inconsistencies in the summaries produced by LLMs increase as the context length increases, 36 and for medium- to long-context tasks, fine-tuning an open-source model has been shown to perform better than a prompt-learning approach. 37 In prior work,", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed8.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# DevelopingandEvaluatingLargeLanguageModel- GeneratedEmergencyMedicine HandoffNotes + +\n\n## DevelopingandEvaluatingLargeLanguageModel- GeneratedEmergencyMedicine HandoffNotes\n\n### **Conclusions**\n\nThis study’s results suggest promise for future thoughtful integration of LLM-generated EM-to-IP\nhandoff notes into clinical admission workflows, as well as the associated potential downstream\nquality and efficiency gains. Our novel clinical evaluation framework demonstrates an effective\npreimplementation strategy to measure potential patient safety implications of incorrectness\nidentified in LLM-generated clinical care summaries, which will guide future model refinement and\nimplementation strategies.

We attribute the improvement on the GSM8K benchmark to the fact that the strong model performs significantly better than the weak model on this benchmark ( 57% vs. 33% ). On the MT-bench and MMLU benchmarks, strong and weak models have comparable performance ( 8 *.* 5 vs. 7 *.* 6 for MT-bench and 66% vs. 64% for MMLU), thus routing does not degrade quality of responses and, consequently, the attack cannot improve it.\nTo further demonstrate that the attack improves the quality of responses when there is a significant gap between the weak and strong LLMs, we perform an additional evaluation with Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 [38] and Llama-2-7B-chat-hf [63] as the weak LLMs (LLM pairs 2 and 3). Mistral-7B achieves 7 *.* 4 , 57% , and 25% on MT-bench, MMLU, and GSM8K, respectively. Llama-2-7B achieves 6 *.* 4 , 44% , and 21% . Table 4 shows that the rerouting attack improves quality of responses when either of these LLMs is the weak model, and in particular for the weaker Llama-2-7B model.\nLLM responses are sometimes affected by the confounder gadget. In some cases, the LLM responded with, for example, “I can’t answer that question as it appears to be a jumbled mix of characters”. Still, the response continued with “However, I can help you with the actual question you’re asking,” followed by the actual answer. We observed very few cases where an LLM refused to answer due to the presence of the gadget. In most cases, the response did not mention anything\n1 Some responses had abnormally high perplexity values ( *>* 100 ), which we found do not correlate with quality, but these variations disproportionately contribute to the average. We thus filter out such high-perplexity responses as outliers in both benign and attack settings.

A customized clinical LLM pipeline was trained, tested, and evaluated to generate templated\nEM-to-IP handoff notes. Using both conventional automated methods (ie, recall-oriented\nunderstudy for gisting evaluation [ROUGE], bidirectional encoder representations from transformers\nscore [BERTScore], and source chunking approach for large-scale inconsistency evaluation [SCALE])\nand a novel patient safety-focused framework, LLM-generated handoff notes vs physician-written\nnotes were compared. Data were analyzed from October 2023 to March 2024.\n**EXPOSURE** LLM-generated EM handoff notes.\n**MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES** LLM-generated handoff notes were evaluated for (1) lexical\nsimilarity with respect to physician-written notes using ROUGE and BERTScore; (2) fidelity with\nrespect to source notes using SCALE; and (3) readability, completeness, curation, correctness,\nusefulness, and implications for patient safety using a novel framework.\n**RESULTS** In this study of 1600 EM patient records (832 [52%] female and mean [SD] age of 59.9\n[18.9] years), LLM-generated handoff notes, compared with physician-written ones, had higher\nROUGE (0.322 vs 0.088), BERTScore (0.859 vs 0.796), and SCALE scores (0.691 vs 0.456),\nindicating the LLM-generated summaries exhibited greater similarity and more detail. As reviewed by\n3 board-certified EM physicians, a subsample of 50 LLM-generated summaries had a mean (SD)\nusefulness score of 4.04 (0.86) out of 5 (compared with 4.36 [0.71] for physician-written) and mean\n(SD) patient safety scores of 4.06 (0.86) out of 5 (compared with 4.50 [0.56] for physician-written).\nNone of the LLM-generated summaries were classified as a critical patient safety risk.\n**CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE** In this cohort study of 1600 EM patient medical records,\nLLM-generated EM-to-IP handoff notes were determined superior compared with physician-written\nsummaries via conventional automated evaluation methods, but marginally inferior in usefulness\n*(continued)*", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "pubmed8.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# R EROUTING LLM R OUTERS\n\n## **6 Rerouting Open-Source Routers**\n\n*-* GSM8K: similar to MMLU except questions are math rather than multiple choice, thus we parse the answers accord- ing to the expected format.\nTable 3 shows that, according to these metrics, in most cases responses to the confounded queries are no worse, and in some cases even better, than responses to the original queries. We attribute the improvement on the GSM8K benchmark to the fact that the strong model performs significantly better than the weak model on this benchmark ( 57% vs. 33% ). On the MT-bench and MMLU benchmarks, strong and weak models have comparable performance ( 8 *.* 5 vs. 7 *.* 6 for MT-bench and 66% vs. 64% for MMLU), thus routing does not degrade quality of responses and, consequently, the attack cannot improve it.\nTo further demonstrate that the attack improves the quality of responses when there is a significant gap between the weak and strong LLMs, we perform an additional evaluation with Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 [38] and Llama-2-7B-chat-hf [63] as the weak LLMs (LLM pairs 2 and 3). Mistral-7B achieves 7 *.* 4 , 57% , and 25% on MT-bench, MMLU, and GSM8K, respectively. Llama-2-7B achieves 6 *.* 4 , 44% , and 21% . Table 4 shows that the rerouting attack improves quality of responses when either of these LLMs is the weak model, and in particular for the weaker Llama-2-7B model.\nLLM responses are sometimes affected by the confounder gadget. In some cases, the LLM responded with, for example, “I can’t answer that question as it appears to be a jumbled mix of characters”. Still, the response continued with “However, I can help you with the actual question you’re asking,” followed by the actual answer. We observed very few cases where an LLM refused to answer due to the presence of the gadget. In most cases, the response did not mention anything\n1 Some responses had abnormally high perplexity values ( *>* 100 ), which we found do not correlate with quality, but these variations disproportionately contribute to the average. We thus filter out such high-perplexity responses as outliers in both benign and attack settings. We provide examples of filtered responses in Appendix D.\n10\n*R* *SW* *R* *MF* *R* *CLS* *R* *LLM* Orig. Conf. Orig. Conf. Orig. Conf. Orig.

In the white-box setting we observe a slight decrease in the average (across all four routers) upgrade rate from 91% to 89% for the MMLU benchmark, and from 98% to 91% for the GSM8K benchmark. In the black-box setting, the average upgrade rate on MMLU reduces from 57% to 49% and on GSM8K from 73% to 64% .\n**Token sampling method.** When generating the confounder gadget (see Section 4), we iteratively replace tokens with the goal of maximizing the routing algorithm’s score for the gadget. Candidate replacement tokens are chosen uniformly at random. An alternative is to choose candidates based on their probability of appearing in natural text. To evaluate this method, we compute token probabilities by parsing and tokenizing the wikitext-103-raw-v1 dataset [44].\nTable 13 shows that in most cases uniform sampling of replacement tokens yields better upgrade rates. We conjecture that uniform sampling produces more unnatural text, confusing the router. For example, for the *R* *SW* routing algorithm, uni- form sampling produces the following gadget: “ *legationbelongs967reglo’hui(DictionaryizedNameantal bidi.numberOf* ”, whereas sampling according to natural probabilities produces “ *total occurred According number Letar final Bab named* *remainder* ”.\n**Number of tokens in the gadget.** In our main evaluation, the gadgets are composed of *n* = 10 tokens. We evaluate the effect of using less ( *n* = 5 ) or more ( *n* = 20 or *n* = 50 ) tokens. We observed that 5 tokens were insufficient to make changes to the routing algorithm’s score and thus we were not able to optimize the gadget in this setting. As for 20 tokens, we observe a a small improvement in the white-box setting, increase the average upgrade rate from 93 *.* 9% to 95 *.* 8% , and a bigger improvement in the black-box setting, increase the average upgrade rate from 70 *.* 2% to 81 *.* 3% . Using 50 tokens further increases the upgrade rates, to 98 *.* 2% in the white-box setting and 84 *.* 2% in the black box setting. The average convergence rate increases as well, from 60 iterations for 10 tokens, to 70 for 20 tokens, and 100 for 50 tokens. Overall this evaluation suggests that our rerouting attack can be even further improved by using longer gadgets, however it is important to be careful not to make them too long to the point that they might degrade the performance of the underlying LLM.", + "page_start": 22, + "page_end": 22, + "source_file": "arxiv1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# DevelopingandEvaluatingLargeLanguageModel- GeneratedEmergencyMedicine HandoffNotes + +\n\n## DevelopingandEvaluatingLargeLanguageModel- GeneratedEmergencyMedicine HandoffNotes\n\n### **Abstract**\n\n#### **Key Points**\n\n**Question** Can a large language model\n(LLM) generate emergency medicine\n(EM)-to-inpatient (IP) handoff notes\nthat are useful and safe for EM care?\n**Findings** In this cohort study of 1600\nEM patient medical records using a\nnovel evaluation framework, the\nLLM-generated EM-to-IP handoff notes\nhad a mean usefulness of 4.04 out of 5\n(compared with 4.36 for\nphysician-written) and a mean patient\nsafety of 4.06 out of 5 (compared with\n4.50 for physician-written) with no\ncritical patient safety risks.\n**Meaning** These findings suggest the\nvalue of a manual, patient safety-\nfocused clinical evaluation of LLM\nmodels and the potential of\nLLM-generated handoff notes to create\na new standard of care in EM.\n**+ [Invited Commentary](https://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?doi=10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.48729&utm_campaign=articlePDF%26utm_medium=articlePDFlink%26utm_source=articlePDF%26utm_content=jamanetworkopen.2024.48723) + [Supplemental content](https://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?doi=10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.48723&utm_campaign=articlePDF%26utm_medium=articlePDFlink%26utm_source=articlePDF%26utm_content=jamanetworkopen.2024.48723)**\nAuthor affiliations and article information are\nlisted at the end of this article.\n**Open Access.** This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the CC-BY License.\n*JAMA Network Open.* 2024;7(12):e2448723. doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.48723 (Reprinted) December 3, 2024 1/12\n*Abstract (continued)*\nand safety via a novel evaluation framework.

LLMs can automate workflows such as discharge summaries, 24 radiology reports, 25 patient messaging, 26 after-visit summaries, 27 and ambient dictation 28 with various levels of perceived quality in each workflow. 29 LLMs are particularly effective at summarizing large unstructured clinical datasets, such as ED patient medical records. 30 A common concern of LLMs is\ntheir ability to hallucinate data, or LLMs generating output text that is not factually consistent with the original source content. 31 Much work has been done in health care to reduce hallucinations\nthrough building larger-parameter models trained on trillions of datasets, and then instruction fine- tuning the LLM on smaller, well-curated datasets. 32,33 LLMs can also be designed with explainability by citing inferred content back to the reference source notes. 34 For short-context length notes, using\nfew-shot prompt engineering approaches with large language models like GPT-4 can produce\nsummaries that outperform standard physician documentation in completeness and error frequency. 35 However, factual inconsistencies in the summaries produced by LLMs increase as the context length increases, 36 and for medium- to long-context tasks, fine-tuning an open-source model has been shown to perform better than a prompt-learning approach. 37 In prior work,", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed8.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# R EROUTING LLM R OUTERS\n\n## **6 Rerouting Open-Source Routers**\n\nMT-Bench 0 *.* 8 *−* 0 *.* 6 0 *.* 0 MMLU 1 *.* 3 1 *.* 2 0 *.* 9\n\nGSM8K 1 *.* 3 1 *.* 3 1 *.* 7\nTable 6: Differences between average perplexity of responses to the original and confounded queries, in the black-box setting, when the confounder gadget was generated for a different surrogate router than the target, for LLM pair 1.

The size of the two major health consequences (‘Outcomes’) was calculated, that is,\n**work-related deaths** , and **work-related diseases** .

The main reason for these different estimates is the general\napproach: WHO/ILO restricts their analysis to selected risk-outcome pairs, for example, long working\nhours as risk and stroke as outcome, whereas ICOH aspired to cover all work-related diseases.\n\n**Figure 25: Work-related deaths - estimates by WHO/ILO 218 and ICOH 219 for EU27**\n\nThe figure below displays the relation between **major risks** and the **health outcome in DALYs** . The\nestimates of DALYS that are attributable to work vary between 6.8 million years (ICOH) and 4.4 million\nyears (WHO/ILO), both for the EU27.\n\n**Figure 26: Work-related DALYs - estimates by WHO/ILO and ICOH for the EU27**\n\nPutting the absolute numbers of WHO/ILO in relation to the EU27 population above 16 years this results\nin approximately **1,172 lost life years per 100,000 working-age population** (WHO/ILO).

Future research will contribute to a better\nattribution of the impact of work on these diseases. **In the future, relevant disease groups will be**\n**incorporated in these estimates** , that is, the impact of work on the prevalence of **mental diseases**\nand of communicable diseases caused by biological agents needs to be incorporated.\nThe next table shows the **difference between major occupational risk factors and deaths** at the\nEU27 level and the global level.

Social movements produce new norms, language, and ways of communicating. This adds challenges to the deployment of LMs, as methodologies re- liant on LMs run the risk of ‘value-lock’, where the LM-reliant technology reifies older, less-inclusive understandings. For instance, the Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) influenced Wikipedia article generation and editing such that, as the BLM movement grew, articles covering shootings of Black people in- creased in coverage and were generated with reduced latency [ 135 ]. Importantly, articles describing past shootings and incidents of po- lice brutality were created and updated as articles for new events were created, reflecting how social movements make connections between events in time to form cohesive narratives [ 102 ]. More generally, Twyman et al. [ 135 ] highlight how social movements actively influence framings and reframings of minority narratives\n14 [Available at https://github.com/LDNOOBW/List-of-Dirty-Naughty-Obscene-and-](https://github.com/LDNOOBW/List-of-Dirty-Naughty-Obscene-and-Otherwise-Bad-Words/blob/master/en) [Otherwise-Bad-Words/blob/master/en, accessed Jan 18, 2021](https://github.com/LDNOOBW/List-of-Dirty-Naughty-Obscene-and-Otherwise-Bad-Words/blob/master/en) 15 This observation is due to William Agnew.\nin the type of online discourse that potentially forms the data that underpins LMs. An important caveat is that social movements which are poorly documented and which do not receive significant media attention will not be captured at all. Media coverage can fail to cover protest events and social movements [ 41 , 96 ] and can distort events that challenge state power [ 36 ]. This is exemplified by media outlets that tend to ignore peaceful protest activity and instead focus on dramatic or violent events that make for good television but nearly always result in critical coverage [ 81 ]. As a result, the data under- pinning LMs stands to misrepresent social movements and dispro- portionately align with existing regimes of power. Developing and shifting frames stand to be learned in incomplete ways or lost in the big-ness of data used to train large LMs — particu- larly if the training data isn’t continually updated. Given the com- pute costs alone of training large LMs, it likely isn’t feasible for even large corporations to fully retrain them frequently enough to keep up with the kind of language change discussed here. Perhaps fine-tuning approaches could be used to retrain LMs, but here again, what would be required is thoughtful curation practices to find ap- propriate data to capture reframings and techniques for evaluating whether such fine-tuning appropriately captures the ways in which new framings contest hegemonic representations.", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "arxiv5_ccby4license.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#us, short for the United States\n\n## **References**\n\n2010, Shanghai, China, 7- 11 November 2010; pp. 470- 485.\n65.

Background**\n\n### *2.3. Hashtags as Frame Vehicles on Social Media*\n\nLarge amounts of unprompted user-generated data on social media serve as distributed sensors\nthat better reflect public opinion [ 50 ] and o ff er researchers more accurate insight into the associations\nof concepts in people’s minds [ 51 ]. In particular, hashtags, a unique mechanism of social media,\nprovide researchers with an unprecedented chance to accurately extract the public cognitive framework\ncontained in texts. To inform or comment [ 52 ], social media users attach user-generated tagging with\na hash character “#” to anchor the keywords of their tweet and classify the tweet to a unifying topic,\nand other users can view hashtags as beacons to follow specific topics and join collective discussions.\nAs a communicative marker, hashtags have been used in a wide range of cases [ 53 ] and have contributed\nconsiderably to conversations and social participation [ 54 , 55 ]. In addition to the function as a topical\nsignifier [ 56 ], social scientists noted that hashtags can also represent the context of a tweet [ 57 ], flag\nan individual’s community membership [ 58 ], or indicate shared interests [ 59 ]. Several studies adopted\nhashtags as frame markers for both content and sentiment analysis [ 60 - 65 ] to eliminate researchers’\nsubjectivity in frame detection.\nIn some cases, social media users have long struggled to define the most appropriate hashtag for\ncertain events [ 60 , 66 ]. By observing the usage pattern of trending hashtags “#CrimingWhileWhite” and\n“#AliveWhileBlack” in a struggle against racism, [ 67 ] discovered that two related hashtags generated\nin a single event will draw public attention to di ff erent sides of a story and cause noticeable structural\nand linguistic di ff erences in public discourse.\nWhen hashtags are used in combination with each other, their co-occurrence pattern in big data", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "pubmed10.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#us, short for the United States\n\n## **References**\n\n76.

Effective potentials between\nions in solution are calculated to perform perturbation theory calculations, in order to derive the\nbest possible description in terms of charged hard spheres. Applying this method to NaCl solutions\nyields excellent agreement with the all-atom model, provided ion association is taken into account.\nSince the pioneering works of Debye, H ̈uckel, and\nOnsager, electrolyte solutions have been commonly\ndescribed by continuous solvent models, for which\nthe McMillan-Mayer theory [1] provides a rigorous\nstatistical-mechanical foundation. Within that level of\ndescription, simple phenomenological models such as the\nprimitive model (PM), for which the ions are assimi-\nlated to charged hard spheres [2], can lead to explicit\nformulas for the thermodynamic and structural proper-\nties (e.g., with the help of the mean spherical approxima-\ntion (MSA) [3] or the binding MSA (BIMSA) [4]). These\nmodels are the most practical to use [5], since they allow\nfor a direct link between the experimental measurements\nand the microscopic parameters of the system. Never-\ntheless, they ignore the molecular structure of the sol-\nvent. Consequently, they cannot properly account for\nthe complex specific effects of the ions, which appear in\nnumerous biological, chemical, and physical interfacial\nphenomena [6, 7], without further developments.\nAn alternative procedure consists in carrying out\nmolecular simulations, where both the solvent and solute\nare treated explicitly.

The Hartford can cross-\nmarket auto insurance to homeowner’s customers and\nhomeowner’s insurance to auto customers, which\npresents a tremendous growth opportunity. In addition,\nThe Hartford is committed to providing value to AARP\nmembers in many ways. An example: The Hartford and\nAARP work with the MIT Age Lab to produce informa-\ntion—available in print and on both partners’ Web\nsites—advising AARP members about Alzheimer’s dis-\nease and other forms of dementia as they affect driving\nability. The information guides caregivers struggling\nwith difficult decisions about family members’ safety\nbehind the wheel. The resource—a customer solution\nlike no other—helps enhance the superior value The\nHartford provides to AARP members.\nAlthough it’s the most comprehensive, the AARP\nrelationship isn’t The Hartford’s only affinity program.\nThe company also has affinity arrangements with\nUSAA and other companies. Regardless of the pro-\ngram’s size, the affinity partners share the right quali-\nties: strong name-brand recognition, first-class\nmarketing and a broad and loyal customer base.\nIn other words, they share some of The Hartford’s\ncore attributes.\n15\n� * **T** * * **he Campbell Agency in Byron** *\n* **Center, Mich., found that by align-** *\n* **ing its organization to mirror that** *\n* **of The Hartford, the two partners** *\n* **could work more closely—and** *\n* **grow more—together.

The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. 2001 Summary Annual Re[...]\n\n### *partners*\n\n**“P** artnering” is a popular business buzzword that may\nvanish as quickly as it appeared. The Hartford’s partner-\nships, on the other hand, are built for the long term and\nhave played a major role in the company’s growth and\nsuccess.\nThe company enjoys outstanding partnerships\nwith several of the world’s top asset managers. It also\nvalues its thousands of relationships with financial\nintermediaries such as large broker-dealers, banks and\nindependent financial planners—and with affinity part-\nners who extend The Hartford’s reach into large, grow-\ning markets.\n“A lot of people talk about having the right part-\nners, but The Hartford views it differently from most,”\nsays Gary Trippe, CEO of Fort Myers, Fla., property-\ncasualty agency Oswald, Trippe and Company, Inc.\n“They look for partners who share their core values,\nand the relationship is based on trust and respect. It’s\nall about compatibility.” Trippe should know. His\nagency writes three times as much business with\nThe Hartford, in both personal and commercial lines, as\nit writes with any other insurer.\nMutually beneficial partnerships with successful\nbusinesses of all sizes are the foundation of The\nHartford’s business model.\nPerhaps no relationship represents shared values\nand shared success better than the one with AARP,\nwhich signed a new eight-year contract with The\nHartford that began Jan. 1, 2002. The AARP insurance\nprogram with The Hartford is a model of affinity mar-\nketing and distribution savvy. AARP’s membership—\nthose age 50 and over—is the fastest-growing segment\nof the U.S. population. Computer use among this group\nis growing by an estimated 20 percent per year, and the\npopulation segment respects established brands and\nseeks value, convenience and extraordinary service.\nThat right combination of factors helps make\nAARP’s World Wide Web site one of The Hartford’s\n14\nmost dynamic sources of business growth. In 2001 the\ncompany’s link to AARP’s Web site accounted for much\nof the $55 million worth of auto business The Hartford\ngenerated over the Internet.\nBecause The Hartford quotes and issues this busi-\nness online (and added online billing in 2001), acquisi-\ntion and processing costs are 15 to 20 percent lower\nthan those of traditional direct-marketing or face-to-\nface sales.

As a result, intermediaries can concentrate on what they do best: selling.\nWe’re also making inroads into international markets. We have a highly successful\nventure in Brazil to sell personal savings, pension and life insurance products. In addition,\nour new venture in Japan, Hartford Life Insurance K.K., reported more than $500 million in\nvariable annuity sales in 2001. We are also exploring the possibility of establishing opera-\ntions in a few select markets with favorable demographics.\nThe relentless pursuit of excellence also applies to our property-casualty operations.\nExcluding the effect of Sept. 11, our Business Insurance segment saw a 20 percent jump in\npremiums in 2001. Our combined ratio in this segment was 97.8—a 2.8-point improvement\nover the prior year. Our affinity personal lines premiums rose 11 percent, reflecting our grow-\ning business with AARP members. And our specialty professional liability business saw a 56\npercent premium gain.\nWe merged our personal and business insurance sales and agency management\norganizations in 2001 to give agents a single point of contact. This makes it easier for them\nto do business with us and enhances their ability to cross-sell these lines. We also gave\nagents a wealth of new technological tools. They include continuously updated small-busi-\nness underwriting guidelines available online, customized direct-bill status reports, online\naccess to commission statements, and online quoting capabilities, to name just a few.\n* **Dave Zwiener,** *\n* **President and Chief Operating** *\n* **Officer, Property & Casualty** *\n* **Operations** *\n7\nRecognizing that technology can only supplement—not supplant—personal relation-\nships, we created an organization of business technology solutions managers in our field\noffices. These specialists provide hands-on support to property-casualty agents who use The\nHartford’s online tools.\nThis successful high-tech, high-touch mix is one reason why we estimate our small-\nbusiness insurance growth rate is five to six times the industry average. Another reason is\nthat we strategically target these businesses’ unmet needs. Our new CyberFlex TM business\ninsurance coverage, for example, is geared to traditional brick-and-mortar businesses that\nhave some exposure for cyber-risk in their normal course of doing business—such as using\ne-mail or operating a Web site.\nOur focus on growth never distracts us from the bottom line. When markets or busi-\nnesses prove unprofitable, we’re nimble enough to take quick action. We exited the\nEuropean property-casualty business in 2001, focusing instead on financial services in Asia.\nWe also repositioned our reinsurance business to concentrate on the U.S. market, where", + "page_start": 7, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "NYSE_HIG_2001.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# There’s only to run a business...

The triple win reflected the\noverall excellence of The Hartford’s service, a natural\ncomplement to the company’s quality products. DAL-\nBAR also recognized The Hartford’s mutual funds as the\nindustry leader in several categories, including invest-\nment management.\nIn managing its product portfolio, The Hartford fol-\nlows its own advice: think ahead and diversify. The com-\npany’s earnings base derives from a variety of\nbusinesses. Diversification is a key element in managing\nrisk and ensuring profitability—a time-tested philosophy\nthat held especially true in 2001, as the company’s other\nbusinesses evolved to anticipate changing market\ndemands and to offer protection from new risks.\nThe property-casualty Business Insurance group,\nfor example, extended its coverage to include common\nrisks associated with e-commerce. Hartford Financial\nProducts’ (HFP) coverage continued to meet emerging\nrisks in an extremely volatile business environment.\nThe Hartford helped customers manage risk by\ndeveloping a new category of commercial coverage\ncalled CyberFlex. TM This targets the previously unmet\nneeds of small and mid-sized businesses that are inte-\ngrating the Internet and other communications tools\ninto their regular operations.\nA 2001 survey by The Hartford revealed that 80\npercent of small and mid-sized businesses weren’t sure\nif their current insurance policies covered specific—and\nincreasingly common—risks such as e-mail viruses,\nWeb site business interruption and online copyright\ninfringement. CyberFlex coverage protects middle-mar-\nket and small-business policyholders against the risk of\nthose potentially debilitating conditions.\nCyberFlex is part of a broad array of industry-\nspecific coverages in The Hartford’s SPECTRUM ® busi-\nness-owner’s policy, including protection against\nemployment practices liability, equipment breakdown\nand business interruption. As the economic environ-\nment changes rapidly, The Hartford thinks ahead by\nproviding those flexible coverages.

The triple win reflected the\noverall excellence of The Hartford’s service, a natural\ncomplement to the company’s quality products. DAL-\nBAR also recognized The Hartford’s mutual funds as the\nindustry leader in several categories, including invest-\nment management.\nIn managing its product portfolio, The Hartford fol-\nlows its own advice: think ahead and diversify. The com-\npany’s earnings base derives from a variety of\nbusinesses. Diversification is a key element in managing\nrisk and ensuring profitability—a time-tested philosophy\nthat held especially true in 2001, as the company’s other\nbusinesses evolved to anticipate changing market\ndemands and to offer protection from new risks.\nThe property-casualty Business Insurance group,\nfor example, extended its coverage to include common\nrisks associated with e-commerce. Hartford Financial\nProducts’ (HFP) coverage continued to meet emerging\nrisks in an extremely volatile business environment.\nThe Hartford helped customers manage risk by\ndeveloping a new category of commercial coverage\ncalled CyberFlex. TM This targets the previously unmet\nneeds of small and mid-sized businesses that are inte-\ngrating the Internet and other communications tools\ninto their regular operations.\nA 2001 survey by The Hartford revealed that 80\npercent of small and mid-sized businesses weren’t sure\nif their current insurance policies covered specific—and\nincreasingly common—risks such as e-mail viruses,\nWeb site business interruption and online copyright\ninfringement. CyberFlex coverage protects middle-mar-\nket and small-business policyholders against the risk of\nthose potentially debilitating conditions.\nCyberFlex is part of a broad array of industry-\nspecific coverages in The Hartford’s SPECTRUM ® busi-\nness-owner’s policy, including protection against\nemployment practices liability, equipment breakdown\nand business interruption. As the economic environ-\nment changes rapidly, The Hartford thinks ahead by\nproviding those flexible coverages. And the company’s\n19\nstreamlined product-development process maximizes\nspeed-to-market so agents have the right products to\nsell at the right time. That’s one reason why we esti-\nmate The Hartford’s small-business insurance growth\nis five to six times the industry average.\nDeveloping products for a changing business\nenvironment is also a proven skill of HFP.

As a result, intermediaries can concentrate on what they do best: selling.\nWe’re also making inroads into international markets. We have a highly successful\nventure in Brazil to sell personal savings, pension and life insurance products. In addition,\nour new venture in Japan, Hartford Life Insurance K.K., reported more than $500 million in\nvariable annuity sales in 2001. We are also exploring the possibility of establishing opera-\ntions in a few select markets with favorable demographics.\nThe relentless pursuit of excellence also applies to our property-casualty operations.\nExcluding the effect of Sept. 11, our Business Insurance segment saw a 20 percent jump in\npremiums in 2001. Our combined ratio in this segment was 97.8—a 2.8-point improvement\nover the prior year. Our affinity personal lines premiums rose 11 percent, reflecting our grow-\ning business with AARP members. And our specialty professional liability business saw a 56\npercent premium gain.\nWe merged our personal and business insurance sales and agency management\norganizations in 2001 to give agents a single point of contact. This makes it easier for them\nto do business with us and enhances their ability to cross-sell these lines. We also gave\nagents a wealth of new technological tools. They include continuously updated small-busi-\nness underwriting guidelines available online, customized direct-bill status reports, online\naccess to commission statements, and online quoting capabilities, to name just a few.\n* **Dave Zwiener,** *\n* **President and Chief Operating** *\n* **Officer, Property & Casualty** *\n* **Operations** *\n7\nRecognizing that technology can only supplement—not supplant—personal relation-\nships, we created an organization of business technology solutions managers in our field\noffices. These specialists provide hands-on support to property-casualty agents who use The\nHartford’s online tools.\nThis successful high-tech, high-touch mix is one reason why we estimate our small-\nbusiness insurance growth rate is five to six times the industry average. Another reason is\nthat we strategically target these businesses’ unmet needs. Our new CyberFlex TM business\ninsurance coverage, for example, is geared to traditional brick-and-mortar businesses that\nhave some exposure for cyber-risk in their normal course of doing business—such as using\ne-mail or operating a Web site.\nOur focus on growth never distracts us from the bottom line. When markets or busi-\nnesses prove unprofitable, we’re nimble enough to take quick action. We exited the\nEuropean property-casualty business in 2001, focusing instead on financial services in Asia.\nWe also repositioned our reinsurance business to concentrate on the U.S. market, where", + "page_start": 7, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "NYSE_HIG_2001.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# There’s only to run a business...

Broker-dealers\nand financial advisors can use it to research The\nHartford’s full complement of individual life and invest-\nment products, update their books of business in\nseconds, track daily fund performance, run financial-\nplanning models, receive online product training,\nproduce customized presentations and even submit\nbusiness electronically.\nIn short, the portal allows The Hartford to bring\nproducts and functions from a variety of sources into\none convenient online environment.\nHartford Investor has two strategic objectives:\nOne, deepen current intermediaries’ loyalty to The\nHartford by extending The Hartford Experience right to\ntheir desktops. Two, expand the network of intermedi-\naries by giving them the technological support they\nneed to grow their businesses.\nMore than 153,000 licensed intermediaries—from\nsolo advisors to members of large financial institu-\ntions—are appointed to sell The Hartford’s products.\nYet fewer than 60,000 actively write business for the\ncompany. The untapped potential is vast, especially\namong independents, the fastest-growing distribution\nchannel and the only one in which The Hartford doesn’t\nhold the largest market share.\nThat’s bound to change.

The Hartford’s partner-\nships, on the other hand, are built for the long term and\nhave played a major role in the company’s growth and\nsuccess.\nThe company enjoys outstanding partnerships\nwith several of the world’s top asset managers. It also\nvalues its thousands of relationships with financial\nintermediaries such as large broker-dealers, banks and\nindependent financial planners—and with affinity part-\nners who extend The Hartford’s reach into large, grow-\ning markets.\n“A lot of people talk about having the right part-\nners, but The Hartford views it differently from most,”\nsays Gary Trippe, CEO of Fort Myers, Fla., property-\ncasualty agency Oswald, Trippe and Company, Inc.\n“They look for partners who share their core values,\nand the relationship is based on trust and respect. It’s\nall about compatibility.” Trippe should know. His\nagency writes three times as much business with\nThe Hartford, in both personal and commercial lines, as\nit writes with any other insurer.\nMutually beneficial partnerships with successful\nbusinesses of all sizes are the foundation of The\nHartford’s business model.\nPerhaps no relationship represents shared values\nand shared success better than the one with AARP,\nwhich signed a new eight-year contract with The\nHartford that began Jan. 1, 2002. The AARP insurance\nprogram with The Hartford is a model of affinity mar-\nketing and distribution savvy. AARP’s membership—\nthose age 50 and over—is the fastest-growing segment\nof the U.S. population. Computer use among this group\nis growing by an estimated 20 percent per year, and the\npopulation segment respects established brands and\nseeks value, convenience and extraordinary service.\nThat right combination of factors helps make\nAARP’s World Wide Web site one of The Hartford’s\n14\nmost dynamic sources of business growth. In 2001 the\ncompany’s link to AARP’s Web site accounted for much\nof the $55 million worth of auto business The Hartford\ngenerated over the Internet.\nBecause The Hartford quotes and issues this busi-\nness online (and added online billing in 2001), acquisi-\ntion and processing costs are 15 to 20 percent lower\nthan those of traditional direct-marketing or face-to-\nface sales.

Since 1995, our market cap has\nincreased from $5.7 billion to $15.4 billion—an 18 percent compound annual growth rate.\nOur share price has increased nearly 160 percent since The Hartford became a public com-\npany. During the same period, the S&P 500 increased 89 percent, and the Dow Jones\nIndustrial Average 97 percent.\nIt’s no surprise that our management team is highly regarded within the financial\nservices industry and on Wall Street. We’ve built a strong leadership team, complemented\nby more than 27,000 dedicated employees who are nurtured and energized by a culture of\nsuccess. Consequently, we had a smooth leadership transition over the past year. Tom Marra\nsucceeded Lon Smith as president of our life operations and joined our board of directors.\nLon retired after a 33-year career with The Hartford, and we owe him a tremendous amount\nof gratitude for building a strong and successful operation.\nDuring 2001 we also welcomed two new members to our board of directors. Edward J.\nKelly III, president and CEO of Mercantile Bankshares Corp., joined us in May, and we welcomed\nCharles B.

Employees and suppliers\nimmediately began working around the clock to get\nthe business up and running again. Despite the\ndestruction, back-up systems kept distributors’ and\ncustomers’ data secure.\nA hundred miles from Ground Zero, home office\nemployees in Hartford, Conn., began shuttling equip-\nment and supplies to our temporary offices. Some\nbooked Long Island Sound ferries from Connecticut to\nLong Island within 48 hours of the attack. Others spent\nthe weekend driving supplies to the new locations so\nemployees could concentrate on customers instead of\non finding pens and paper. Employees and suppliers\nwere determined to get the company, its distributors\nand its customers through the crisis.\nBy Monday, Sept. 17, all of The Hartford’s business\nunits in New York were serving customers again.\nEmployees had new furniture, phones, servers and PCs.\nDistributors’ and customers’ access to company e-mail\nwas never interrupted. Calls to old phone numbers were\nrerouted to cell phones or new office phones.

In order to speed the\npayment of claims, GBD employees immediately con-\ntacted customers with offices in the towers and worked\nwith industry organizations to expedite the issuing of\ndeath certificates.\nThe Hartford’s individual life operations scoured\nairline manifests and missing-persons lists, looking for\nnames of customers. When they spotted a potential\nmatch, they called agents to alert them to a possible\nclaim and provided tips on how to proceed.\nFuture generations will measure the full impact of\nSept. 11.

With our strong and balanced\nportfolio of businesses, we consistently demonstrate superior financial performance. Since\n1995, we’ve produced 13 percent annualized operating earnings-per-share growth, excluding\nthe effects of Sept. 11 and the tax benefit in 2001, and 13 percent annualized growth in assets\nunder management. Excluding the effect of Sept. 11 and the tax benefit, operating return on\nequity has met or exceeded our 13 to 15 percent target every year for the past five years.\n* **The Hartford Chairman, President and CEO Ramani Ayer speaking at the opening of New York employees’ new** *\n* **permanent offices in early November.

Employees moved into their** *\n* **new permanent offices less than 60 days after the attack.** *\nAll this translates into increased shareholder value. Since 1995, our market cap has\nincreased from $5.7 billion to $15.4 billion—an 18 percent compound annual growth rate.\nOur share price has increased nearly 160 percent since The Hartford became a public com-\npany. During the same period, the S&P 500 increased 89 percent, and the Dow Jones\nIndustrial Average 97 percent.\nIt’s no surprise that our management team is highly regarded within the financial\nservices industry and on Wall Street. We’ve built a strong leadership team, complemented\nby more than 27,000 dedicated employees who are nurtured and energized by a culture of\nsuccess. Consequently, we had a smooth leadership transition over the past year. Tom Marra\nsucceeded Lon Smith as president of our life operations and joined our board of directors.\nLon retired after a 33-year career with The Hartford, and we owe him a tremendous amount\nof gratitude for building a strong and successful operation.\nDuring 2001 we also welcomed two new members to our board of directors. Edward J.\nKelly III, president and CEO of Mercantile Bankshares Corp., joined us in May, and we welcomed\nCharles B. Strauss, president and CEO of Unilever United States, Inc., in November.\nWe’re well-positioned for growth in 2002. On Jan. 1 we renewed our relationship with\nAARP by signing a new eight-year contract to market auto and homeowner’s insurance to\nits 35 million members.

Broker-dealers\nand financial advisors can use it to research The\nHartford’s full complement of individual life and invest-\nment products, update their books of business in\nseconds, track daily fund performance, run financial-\nplanning models, receive online product training,\nproduce customized presentations and even submit\nbusiness electronically.\nIn short, the portal allows The Hartford to bring\nproducts and functions from a variety of sources into\none convenient online environment.\nHartford Investor has two strategic objectives:\nOne, deepen current intermediaries’ loyalty to The\nHartford by extending The Hartford Experience right to\ntheir desktops. Two, expand the network of intermedi-\naries by giving them the technological support they\nneed to grow their businesses.\nMore than 153,000 licensed intermediaries—from\nsolo advisors to members of large financial institu-\ntions—are appointed to sell The Hartford’s products.\nYet fewer than 60,000 actively write business for the\ncompany.

Smaller increases in HCVI were seen across Africa.\nSoutheastern Africa showed larger increases than Central Africa. The HCVI decreased in three\ncountries: Mali, Burkino Faso and Sudan.\nThe ensemble members showed broadly consistent changes in HCVI at 2°C global warming,\nwith increases in most assessed countries and generally similar sets of countries experiencing the\nlargest and smallest changes. Southeastern Africa consistently showed larger increases in HCVI\nthan Central Africa, due to increased length of drought events projected in all ensemble members\n(not shown). The length of flood events was not projected to increase in this region. The Sahel\nregion consistently showed one or more countries with a small decrease in the HCVI, although\nthe precise country or countries varied between ensemble members. The decrease in HCVI here\nwas due to projected decreases in length of drought, with length of flood events projected to\nchange little.\nIndia is projected to see increased HCVI by all ensemble members, due to a consistent increase\nin length of flood events projected in all members, outweighing the beneficial impact of decreased\nlength of drought which is again projected in all members.\nBrazil is projected to see increased HCVI, but for reasons which vary between ensemble\nmembers. Although the location of projected longer flood events varies across the country in\ndifferent members, the aggregation of the HCVI to the country level renders this geographical\nvariability irrelevant for such a large country because only the median value across the country\nis used in the HCVI.

For low flows, the ensemble of projections entirely gives decreased flows at 2°C\nglobal warming for these basins.\nThe signal of decreased flows was stronger for low flows than mean flows, and indeed in the\nNiger, the range of mean flow changes extended more towards increases whereas the range of\nlow flow changes extended more towards decreases.", + "page_start": 13, + "page_end": 14, + "source_file": "pubmed11.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Research Changes in climate extremes, fresh water availability and vulnerability to food insecurity [...]\n\n## 5. Conclusion\n\nThe higher-resolution HadGEM3 simulations project consistent increases in temperature-related\nextremes, with larger changes at 2°C compared to 1.5°C and local changes being larger than the\nglobal annual mean. There is a higher degree of spatial variation in our projections compared\nwith CMIP5-based studies.\nIn the model projections examined here, changes relating to the water cycle are complex, both\nin their geographical pattern and in the variation between different models. The length of flooding\nevents generally increases across world in all models, but maximum rainfall can either increase or\ndecrease depending on locations. Global patterns of increase and decrease show some consistency\nbetween the different GWLs, but also some local differences. Worldwide, most impacts broadly\ntend to increase with global warming in most areas. For global mean changes, even when the sign\nof change is uncertain, individual realizations generally show reduced impact at 1.5°C compared\nwith 2°C. However, this does not always hold even at the scale of major global river basins.\nVulnerability to food insecurity increases more at 2°C global warming than 1.5°C in\napproximately three-quarters of countries assessed. The vulnerability increase can arise from\nincreases in either flooding or drought. Reduced drought leads to decreased vulnerability in a\nlimited number of cases.\nMost simulations here project a general increase in mean streamflow in most of the basins\nexamined, but with a number of notable exceptions in the tropics.

The exceptions to these are mean and low run-off which each show one\ninstance of a smaller change at 2°C than 1.5°C, but still with a majority of simulations showing\nlarger changes at 2°C ( figure 13 ).

Although some ensemble members simulate local temperatures to be higher at 1.5°C\nglobal warming than 2°C in some small regions, these are relatively localized and most regions\nare cooler at 1.5°C global warming than 2°C.

For TXx this is generally the mid-\nlatitudes, whereas for TX90p it is generally the tropics. So, broadly, the impacts at 1.5°C global\nwarming could be estimated by scaling-back the impacts at 2°C.\nThese results show some similarities with those from the CMIP5 models [ 9 , 38 ], but also some\nnotable differences. The CMIP5 models were at lower spatial resolution than the models used\nhere. Although the general patterns of change in TXx are broadly similar in our study and\nCMIP5, with greater warming in many continental interiors, is notable that our results show more\nmarked geographical variation than those from CMIP5 projections ([ 9 ], among others), with the\ncontinental interior warming being more intense in our projections. In particular, our results with\nHadGEM3 show more intense increases in maximum temperature in North America and Europe.\nOur projections of changes in consecutive dry days (CDD) broadly consistent with those found\nin a subset of the CMIP5 ensemble [ 9 ], although there are some differences. Our ensemble mean\nsuggests shorter dry spells in the central Amazon, whereas ISIMIP-indicated longer dry spells.\nAlso, as with the temperature indices, our results show greater geographical differentiation in the\nintensity of changes.\nThe decrease in Rx5day in some regions in our simulations contrasts with the subset of", + "page_start": 21, + "page_end": 22, + "source_file": "pubmed11.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Research Changes in climate extremes, fresh water availability and vulnerability to food insecurity [...]\n\n## 2.

The exposure component comprised proxies for the average length of flood and\ndrought events calculated with daily precipitation data [ 23 ] ( table 2 ). These proxies were chosen\nabove other possible metrics as they were required to replace self-reported instances of flood\nand drought events used in the original HCVI, which correlate with undernutrition data at the\ncountry-level [ 23 ]. The proxies were therefore masked to only include data where a significant\nproportion of people live and grow crops before aggregating to country level and combining to\ncomprise a measure of exposure [ 23 ]; nevertheless, it is recognized that precipitation data alone\nmay not always be adequate for representing flood and drought events, so the current method is\nregarded as preliminary.\nThe impacts of projected climate change, therefore, act through changes in these quantities. In\nthe current version of the HCVI, climate-change impacts on other quantities such as crop yield\nare not considered. Socio-economic factors affecting sensitivity and adaptive capacity are fixed at\npresent-day conditions.\nThe ensemble-mean baseline HCVI calculated with the high-resolution bias-corrected\nHadGEM3 ensemble is shown in figure 1 . The spatial pattern is compatible with HCVI values\ncalculated using reanalysis data at the CMIP5 grid-scale resolution [ 23 ]; the most vulnerable\nregions are sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Methods and models\n\n### (c) Food security: the Hunger and Climate Vulnerability Index\n\nTo assess implications of climate change for vulnerability to food insecurity, we used an\nadaptation of the Hunger and Climate Vulnerability Index (HCVI) [ 22 ]. The HCVI was developed\nby the United Nations World Food Programme to provide a country-level assessment of\nvulnerability to food insecurity as a result of climate-related events. We used a new iteration of the\nHCVI which makes use of gridded climate model projections to understand the impact of climate\nchange on vulnerability to food insecurity, and the benefits that adaptation can bring via scenarios\nof adaptation investment [ 23 ]. This iteration of the HCVI only considers in-country production\nof food and does not account for food trade. For this reason, the HCVI is only calculated for\n122 developing and least-developed countries (defined here as countries not in the OECD or EU\nwhich can be resolved by the scale of the climate model; i.e. larger than 500 km 2 ).\nThe index provides quantification at the national level across the globe of the scale and\ndirection of impact of climate change on food insecurity. As such, it aims to provide the following:\n(i) information to help policy-makers understand the level of challenge to global food security that\nclimate change presents; (ii) information on the geography of the impacts and help to evaluate the\nrelative benefits of mitigation and adaptation responses.\nThe index is not intended to be a detailed planning tool, but aims to help planners evaluate the\nnature of the top-level threat to food insecurity that climate change presents, thereby supporting\nprioritization of effort.\nThe HCVI consists of three equally weighted components: exposure to climate-related hazards,\nsensitivity of national agricultural production to climate-related hazards, and adaptive capacity—\na measure of a country’s ability to cope with climate-related food shocks.

Of these, some are countries where HCVI\nis projected to be lower at 2°C global warming than in the baseline. For example, in Mali the\nensemble-mean baseline HCVI of 0.83 increased slightly to 0.85 at 1.5°C then reduced to 0.81\nat 2°C. In some countries, the ensemble-mean HCVI happened to be identical at both warming\nlevels.

The same four countries with\n‘unprecedented’ HCVI values at 2°C also saw ‘unprecedented’ values at 1.5°C; these were Oman,\nBangladesh, Mauritania and Yemen. These were joined by Myanmar, India and Cambodia as\nhaving ‘unprecedented’ values at 1.5°C. The role of internal climate variability in the HCVI\nresults needs to be assessed, as does the effect of potential nonlinear interactions between the\nflood and drought metric.

There is scope to reduce vulnerability to food insecurity by\naddressing various socio-economic issues in such counties.\nThe JULES simulations show a general tendency towards increased run-off over\napproximately half of the land surface ( figure 9 ) and the majority of the major river basins\nassessed ( figure 10 ), but with large regional uncertainties including the possibility of decreased\nflows in many basins.

Smaller increases in HCVI were seen across Africa.\nSoutheastern Africa showed larger increases than Central Africa. The HCVI decreased in three\ncountries: Mali, Burkino Faso and Sudan.\nThe ensemble members showed broadly consistent changes in HCVI at 2°C global warming,\nwith increases in most assessed countries and generally similar sets of countries experiencing the\nlargest and smallest changes. Southeastern Africa consistently showed larger increases in HCVI\nthan Central Africa, due to increased length of drought events projected in all ensemble members\n(not shown). The length of flood events was not projected to increase in this region. The Sahel\nregion consistently showed one or more countries with a small decrease in the HCVI, although\nthe precise country or countries varied between ensemble members.

Introduction\n\nused indices of climate extremes, and a further index quantifying relative vulnerability to food\ninsecurity which combines climate extremes indices with information on a range of factors\nrepresenting sensitivity and adaptability of food systems to climate hazards. We also use the\nclimate projections to drive a global land surface model to simulate changes in run-off as\nan indicator of freshwater availability. We assess whether regional extremes are projected to\nincrease or decrease at 2°C global warming, and whether the consequent impact on drought and\nvulnerability to food insecurity become greater or smaller. We also assess whether these changes\nare reduced by limiting global warming to 1.5°C. We explore some of the uncertainties in these\nprojections, and, in particular, examine whether the use of ensemble-mean projections is a useful\nsimple guide to impacts projections or whether this can lead to a misleading impression for some\nimpacts. Regarding vulnerability to food insecurity, we consider the impacts of global warming\nat 1.5°C and 2°C alongside socio-economic influences that affect the sensitivity to climate change.\nWe also consider our climate-change impacts results in comparison with other studies using older,\nlower-resolution climate projections.\nA large number of previous studies have assessed potential impacts of future climate change\nusing the 5th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) ensemble or subsets of this [ 7 ],\nand some have framed this in terms of impacts at global warming of 1.5°C and/or 2°C [ 8 , 9 ].

Methods and models\n\n### (d) Freshwater resources: run-off\n\nImpacts on freshwater were assessed with a version of the JULES land surface model [ 24 , 25 ], a\ncoupled ecosystem- hydrology- surface exchange model which simulates land-atmosphere fluxes\nof water, energy and carbon in an internally consistent way, typically applied at global scales.\nVariants of JULES form the land surface scheme of Met Office Hadley Centre Earth System\nModels [ 26 , 27 ] and have been used to assess impacts of climate change on global terrestrial\necosystems and hydrology [ 28 - 30 ] within such models. JULES can also be used outside of the\nEarth System Model (ESM), driven by meteorological outputs of other ESMs to assess impacts of\na wider range of climate projections [ 6 , 8 ]. Here we use a new, higher-resolution configuration of\nJULES on a global grid of 0.5° resolution [ 31 ].\nIt has been noted that hydrological impacts models driven by climate-change projections\nfrom climate models tend to give more severe drying than simulated in the climate models\nthemselves [ 32 - 34 ]. This is largely attributed to the inclusion of plant stomatal closure in\nresponse to elevated CO 2 in the climate model land surface schemes, which generally reduces\nevapotranspiration relative to climate projections without this process and hence further increases\nrun-off/streamflow or ameliorates decreases [ 34 ]. This process is often omitted from standard\nhydrological models. Plant physiological responses to CO 2 are included in the JULES model, so\nour projections of changes in run-off here do account for this process.\nWe used each HadGEM3 simulation to drive JULES to simulate changes in run-off due to\nthe effects of climate change and CO 2 rise on precipitation, evaporation and transpiration. We\nanalysed 30 year periods centred around the year of crossing GWLs of 1.5°C and 2°C relative to\npre-industrial. We examined changes in both mean flows and low flows (defined as the flows for\nthe lowest 10% of time).", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 6, + "source_file": "pubmed11.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Research Changes in climate extremes, fresh water availability and vulnerability to food insecurity [...]\n\n## 2.

However, there\nwere some differences in how these data were applied, with different approaches to the treatment\nof systematic biases in the climate model output. For the ClimPACT analysis, it was considered\nimportant to assess changes in the raw climate model output, because this directly represents\nthe behaviour of the model itself. The main focus was on the changes relative to the present-\nday baseline climate, defined as 1981- 2010, with absolute values in either the baseline or the\nGWLs of 1.5°C and 2°C being only of secondary interest. For the HCVI and JULES run-off\nanalyses, however, it was considered important to correct for systematic biases in the climate\nmodel output, because these can lead to unrealistic representations of the key quantities in the\npresent-day simulation [ 35 ]. A bias-correction methodology was, therefore, applied for these two\nparts of the analysis, whereby the model output was adjusted to make it consistent with an\nobserved climatology [ 36 ]. We used a multi-segment statistical bias-correction methodology for\nprecipitation [ 37 ], and a modification of this for other variables [ 37 ].\nThis difference in approach led to inconsistencies in the definitions of the dates of GWLs\nin the two parts of the study. In the extremes analysis using raw model output, the dates of\npassing GWLs were defined on the basis of the global mean temperatures in the driving CMIP5\nmodels relative to those models’ simulations of global mean temperature in 1870- 1899 ( table 3 ).\nHowever, in the HCVI and JULES analyses which used bias-corrected data, it was considered\nmore appropriate for the GWLs to be defined using the warming in the observational dataset\n**8 Table 3.** Time of reaching GWLs of 1.5 ° C and 2 ° C in the raw output from the HadGEM3 climate simulations, driven by different\nsetsofCMIP5sea-surfacetemperatures.Thedatesarethecentreyearofa20-yearperiodforwhichtheclimatedataareapplied\nto the calculation of the ClimPACT indices.\ndriving SSTs 1.5 ° C 2.0 ° C\nIPSL-CM5A-LR 2015 2030 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 7, + "source_file": "pubmed11.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Research Changes in climate extremes, fresh water availability and vulnerability to food insecurity [...]\n\n## 2. Methods and models\n\n### (a) Global climate simulations at 1.5 ° C and 2 ° C global warming\n\nThere are a number of ways in which 1.5°C or 2°C global warming can be defined—one could\nbe the long-term climate state following a stabilization of warming at that level, another could\nbe the state over a shorter period around the time of first reaching that level. Here we choose the\nsecond definition, which is what is seen first and hence needs to be adapted to. There are also\na number of methods with which such changes can be assessed [ 10 ]. We take the opportunity\nof availability of a new set of higher-resolutions transient climate and impacts simulations, and\nuse a time-sampling methodology [ 10 ] to assess global-scale impacts at these resolutions for the\nfirst time.\n**4** Rather than using the original CMIP5 ensemble as in previous studies, the aim is to allow for\nan improved representation of atmospheric and land surface processes including extremes by\nusing higher spatial resolution [ 11 ].\nHadGEM3 (Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 3) is a configuration of the UK\nMet Office Unified Model (MetUM) which has been developed for use for both climate research\nand weather prediction applications. It is the result of converging the development of the Met\nOffice’s weather and climate global atmospheric model components so that, where possible,\natmospheric processes are modelled or parametrized seamlessly across spatial resolutions and\ntimescales.\nThe high-resolution simulations were performed using the HadGEM3A Global Atmosphere\n(GA) 3.0 model [ 12 - 14 ] at a resolution of N216 (0.556° of latitude by 0.833° of longitude with\ngridboxes of approx. 60 km length in mid-latitudes). This is the atmospheric component of\nthe HadGEM3-GC2 coupled climate model [ 15 , 16 ], which is part of the HadGEM3 family of\nclimate models [ 12 ]. This represents the third generation of HadGEM configurations, leading\non from the HadGEM2 family of climate model configurations [ 13 ] which was used for CMIP5.\nKey improvements over the previous model, HadGEM2, include increased vertical levels in the\natmosphere (85 compared to 38) and substantial changes to the model dynamics (ENDGame) [ 17 ].\nThis version of the HadGEM3 model lies in the transition from CMIP5 to CMIP6 versions. The Met\nOffice is currently operationally running the coupled HadGEM3-GC2 model at N216 resolution", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "pubmed11.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Research Changes in climate extremes, fresh water availability and vulnerability to food insecurity [...]\n\n## 2. Methods and models\n\n### (a) Global climate simulations at 1.5 ° C and 2 ° C global warming\n\nfor seasonal and decadal forecasting and clear benefits are emerging from this use at higher\nresolution [ 18 , 19 ].\nWe ran the model using only its atmosphere and land components, with time-varying sea-\nsurface temperatures (SSTs) and sea-ice concentrations (SICs) prescribed as input quantities. This\napproach was taken for two reasons: (i) to provide a rapid first analysis of the implications\nof the higher resolution for projections of climate extremes and impacts—an atmosphere-\nonly simulation requires considerably less computing time than a coupled ocean- atmosphere\ngeneral circulation model (GCM); (ii) to allow us to explore, to some degree, uncertainties in\nregional climate changes by using SSTs and SICs from different climate models. To explore these\nuncertainties in the regional impacts of climate change, we carried out six HadGEM3 atmospheric\nsimulations driven by time-varying SSTs and SICs from a subset of projections from the CMIP5\nwith the RCP8.5 scenario. The assumption here is that SSTs and SICs provide a substantial\ninfluence on regional patterns of climate change over land, so using a range of SST and SIC\npatterns in a single atmosphere model goes some way towards representing the range of regional\nclimate changes that would arise in a set of different coupled ocean- atmosphere GCMs. This\napproach will not capture the full range of uncertainty affecting regional climate changes over\nland, because it still relies on one atmosphere model and one land surface scheme, so responses\nto radiative forcing that depend mainly on atmospheric process or land-atmosphere interactions\nwill still be constrained by the behaviour of that single model. Nevertheless, we consider that\nour experimental design avoids the reliance on one single realization of climate and hence allows\nsome of the uncertainties in regional climate-change impacts to be illustrated and explored.\nThe SSTs and SICs were taken from a subset of the CMIP5 transient projections performed with\nthe RCP8.5 scenario from 1979 to 2100—the CMIP5 members were selected as representative of a\nrange of outcomes for future climate change, including high and low climate sensitivity, different\nbiases in baseline precipitation climatology, and different global patterns of precipitation change.\nSpecific levels of global warming such as 1.5°C or 2°C were defined on the basis of the global\nmean temperature in the original CMIP5 projections.

The exceptions to these are mean and low run-off which each show one\ninstance of a smaller change at 2°C than 1.5°C, but still with a majority of simulations showing\nlarger changes at 2°C ( figure 13 ). For temperature-related indices, the ranges of change at the two\nGWLs do not overlap—the change at 2°C in all members is larger than the change at 1.5°C in\n**16**\n**Figure 10.** Distributions of changes in run-off for mean flows simulated by the JULES ecosystem- hydrology model under the\nensemble of six climate projections at 1.5 ° C (blue) and 2 ° C (orange) global warming.

This is not the case for the precipitation and run-off results; for those\nquantities, there is substantial overlap in the ranges of changes at 2°C and 1.5°C, so there is not a\nconsistent picture of how much wetter or drier the world is projected to be in this ensemble, even\nthough it involves a single atmosphere model.\nFor TXx, the difference between 2°C and 1.5°C global warming is larger than the 0.5°C\ndifference in global mean temperature across most of the land surface in all ensemble members\n( figure 14 ). Although some ensemble members simulate local temperatures to be higher at 1.5°C\nglobal warming than 2°C in some small regions, these are relatively localized and most regions\nare cooler at 1.5°C global warming than 2°C. In many regions, the difference is between 0.5°C and\n1.0°C, but many other regions see larger differences. In several ensemble members, the difference\nis 1.5°C, 2°C or larger in large parts of North America, South America, Europe and China.\nFor example, over parts of Europe, where annual maximum daily temperature was projected", + "page_start": 14, + "page_end": 15, + "source_file": "pubmed11.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Research Changes in climate extremes, fresh water availability and vulnerability to food insecurity [...]\n\n## 2.

The CMIP5 SSTs were not bias-corrected,\nwhich means that the results here may be sensitive to systematic errors arising from biases in the\npresent-day SST patterns.\nAtmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations were prescribed from the standard RCP8.5\nconcentration scenario. Aerosol concentrations were calculated within the model, with aerosol\nemissions prescribed again from the standard RCP8.5 scenario.

The public has not even reached\nan agreement on the naming of the global concern, showing preference for either “climate change”\nor “global warming”, and few previous studies have addressed these two competing discourses\nresulting from distinct climate concerns by di ff erently linking numerous climate concepts. Based on\nthe 6,662,478 tweets containing #climatechange or #globalwarming generated between 1 January 2009\nand 31 December 2018, we constructed the semantic networks of the two discourses and examined\ntheir evolution over the decade. The findings indicate that climate change demonstrated a more\nscientific perspective and showed an attempt to condense climate discussions rather than di ff use the\ntopic by frequently addressing sub-topics simultaneously. Global warming triggered more political\nresponses and showed a greater connection with phenomena. Temporal analysis suggests that\ntraditional political discussions were gradually fading in both discourses but more recently started to\nrevive in the form of discourse alliance in the climate change discourse. The associations between\nglobal warming and weather abnormalitiessuddenly strengthened around 2012. Climate change is\nbecoming more dominant than global warming in public discussions. Although two discourses have\nshown more similarities in the rank order of important climate concepts, apparent disagreements\ncontinue about how these concepts are associated. These findings lay the groundwork for researchers\nand communicators to narrow the discrepancy between diverse climate perceptions.\n**Keywords:** climate change; global warming; semantic network analysis; temporal analysis; public\ndiscourse; Twitter", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "pubmed10.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# #Climatechange vs. #Globalwarming: Characterizing Two Competing Climate Discourses on Twitter with S[...]\n\n## **3.

However, some scientific hashtags, such as “ghg”\n(greenhouse gas), “co2”, and “forests”, were not identified in the scientific cluster but in the global\nactions cluster (in yellow) because these hashtags were frequently used in the global action context and\nidentified with a closer semantic association to global action by Gephi. In addition to these hashtags,\nthe global action cluster included a series of international activities, such as “ipcc” (Intergovernmental\nPanel on Climate Change), “unfccc” (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change),\nand “cop” (Conferences of the Parties) for almost every year.

Researchers can extract nonlinear\nsocial media narratives [ 69 ] and discover the networked frame crowdsourced by the public [ 61 ]. In the\nfield of climate communication, co-occurrence of environment and social-political hashtags is thought\nto strengthen the associations between a variety of trans-regional issues in protests and build collective\naction frames [ 70 ]. The role of climate change issues in the Australian federal election was also\ndiscovered with a co-hash analysis [ 71 ]. Reference [ 72 ] examined how hashtags concerning science,\npolitical campaigns, geographical discussions, societal concerns, and new technologies co-occurred\nwith “IPCC”, o ff ering a broad context for studying IPCC communication on social media.\nThere are many other words in tweets besides hashtags to express the author’s intention. Multiple\napproaches, such as LDA and STM [ 32 , 73 ], can help to extract topics from unstructured texts. But in\nthis study, targeting on hashtags is more in line with our research question. Firstly, hashtags were\ninvented spontaneously by users of Twitter in 2007 as a mechanism to categorize discussions [ 74 ].\nWords with hashtags are recognized as topics and considered worthy of public discussion. Secondly,\nby attaching # to certain words in tweets, the users intentionally anchor their tweets to certain topics.\nThe operator # explicitly reflects the author’s emphasis, which can help us extract rather than infer the\nauthor’s identification of the topic of the tweets. Our research question is to analyze and visualize\nthe associations of topics in public climate discourse.

By comparing the persistent words used related to the two\ndiscourses in the 10-year period in Table 2 , we think that global warming showed a relative preference\ntoward general descriptions or slogans, such as “earth” and “pollution”, whereas “climate change”\nwas more associated to specific issues like “solar”, “coal”, “china”, and “food”.\nStudies have suggested that the public shows a preference for scientific publications with general\nkeywords compared with those with complicated scientific jargon [ 47 ], lacking a deep understanding of\nthe complicated issue [ 46 ] and the necessity for mitigation of the climate issue [ 47 ]. These conclusions\nseem to suit global warming more than climate change according to the current study, which is\nprobably because climate change receives more publicity and recognition than global warming in the\nscientific community. In the association network shown in Figure 2 , global warming was found to be\nmore connected with temperature abnormalities. This finding is in accordance with studies reporting\nthat short-term temperature anomalies [ 87 ] can increase the public’s belief about global warming by\nincreasing the understanding of this abstract issue [ 88 ], although scientists mostly make judgments\nbased on long-term weather statistics [ 89 ]. However, none of the four words, “snow”, “summer”,\n“winter”, or “heatwave” in the temperature theme of global warming were ranked in the top 50 nodes\nlist of the climate change network.\nEven when climate change and global warming shared concern about similar topics such as the\ncause of the climate issue, global warming tended to focus on carbon emission phenomena, whereas\nclimate change preferred a more in-depth perspective, highlighting the importance of global action\nto mitigate the climate issue in its second-largest cluster, with energy structure as the contributor to\ncarbon emissions in its third largest cluster. As invisible causes and disbelief in actions have long\nbeen regarded as two key reasons for low climate concern [ 90 ], the two terminologies’ di ff erences\nin connotations suggest that introducing these absent sub-topics into global warming discourse or\nhighlighting climate change for its inherent connotations may help communicators raise public concern\nabout climate.", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 12, + "source_file": "pubmed10.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#climatechange users to address all three communities together [ 91 ], consolidating climate change as\n\n## **6.

Previous studies noted that in 1970s, global\ncooling was a prominent climate concern amongst the public [ 105 ]. While in the 1980s, ozone layer\ndepletion, species extinction and rainforest destruction became salient on the mass media agenda [ 106 ].\nConsidering the historical background of climate issues, age might influence how individuals perceive\nclimate issues. According to the statistics in 2017 [ 107 ], only 16 % of older people (older than 60)\nin America use Twitter, while the proportion is 39% for people between 30- 59 years old and 47%\nfor people younger than 30 years old (Stastista, 2017). Our results reflect the climate perception of\nolder people who use Twitter, as well as younger people amongst whom Twitter is more popular.\nAlthough some scholars reported that it is statistically reliable to take data on Twitter as a substitute\nand supplement for polling [ 108 ], we thought our results should be further examined before being\ngeneralized to the whole population.\nIn this study, we characterized the di ff erences between two popular climate discourses and\nexamined how two discourses evolved over a 10-year period. We did not focus on the interactions\nbetween public climate discourse and external factors. However, the evolution of climate discourse\nmight be driven by several external forces such as scientific e ff orts, natural events, politics and\nonline information (or misinformation) campaigns.

Introduction**\n\nThe public’s distinct understanding of the cause and e ff ect of the global climate issue is an obstacle\nto joint mitigation actions. In addition to a diversity of views co-existing in the public discourse [ 1 , 2 ],\nprevious studies noticed that the public had even failed to reach an agreement on whether “climate\nchange” or “global warming” is the most appropriate definition of the global climate concern [ 3 - 5 ].\nAccording to the definition provided by [ 6 ], global warming describes global climate issues as\na continuous increase in the average temperature of Earth’s surface due to anthropogenic emissions\nof greenhouse gases, whereas climate change includes not only temperature rise but also a range of\n*Int.

By randomly assigning respondents to climate change or global warming\nquestionnaires, scholars confirmed that the di ff erent connotations contained in the two definitions are\nlikely to evoke distinct interpretations of the causes and impacts of the global climate issue [ 9 ], which\nmay inhibit collaboration and joint e ff orts to mitigate the global challenge.\nPublic preference between climate change and global warming is even more apparent when\nconsidering the ideology spectrum [ 10 ]. Some scholars concluded that conservatives, who are\nless concerned with environmental issues, tended to use global warming as a narrative strategy\nbecause global warming has a more direct connection with temperature rise, making it easier to find\ncontradictory cues such as freezing weather or heavy snowstorms to deny global climate change\nfacts [ 11 ]. The associations between global warming and human activities may contribute to more\ncontroversies as well [ 12 ], connecting global warming more with the “hoax” frame [ 5 ] and evoking\ngreater negative sentiment [ 13 ].\nAlthough these existing studies have often attempted to identify the di ff erences between these two\nterminologies, only a particular few perspectives, such as sentiment, ideological preference, or cause", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed10.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Research Changes in climate extremes, fresh water availability and vulnerability to food insecurity [...]\n\n## 3.

Changes in high run-off show similar patterns and\nmagnitudes to those in mean run-off.\nThe simulated changes in both mean and low run-off flows show substantial differences\namong the six simulations (figures 10 and 11 ). In most basins examined here, the range of\noutcomes include both increases and decreases in mean and low flows for any particular basin,\nbut generally with the largest proportion simulating increases in both mean and low flows. In a\nfew cases, notably the Lena in northeast Asia and Ganges in southeast Asia, the ensemble agreed\nentirely or almost entirely on increased flows. Even here, the range of outcomes is large, with the\nprojected flow increases in the Ganges for 2°C global warming ranging from approximately 30%\nto more than 110%.\nExceptions to the general picture of consensus on increasing flows are seen in the Amazon,\nOrange, Danube and Guadiana basins where the range of projected extends more towards\ndecreased mean flows. Mean flows in the Amazon are projected to decline by up to 25% for 2°C\nglobal warming. For low flows, the ensemble of projections entirely gives decreased flows at 2°C\nglobal warming for these basins.\nThe signal of decreased flows was stronger for low flows than mean flows, and indeed in the\nNiger, the range of mean flow changes extended more towards increases whereas the range of\nlow flow changes extended more towards decreases.", + "page_start": 13, + "page_end": 14, + "source_file": "pubmed11.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Research Changes in climate extremes, fresh water availability and vulnerability to food insecurity [...]\n\n## 3.

These were joined by Myanmar, India and Cambodia as\nhaving ‘unprecedented’ values at 1.5°C.

Climate Change, Global Warming, and Frames*\n\nExisting studies have noted that the subtle di ff erence between climate change and global warming\nevokes di ff erent public cognitive responses, where global warming“indicates heat-related impacts,\nhuman causes, increased UV light penetration, ozone depletion, and the greenhouse e ff ect, whereas\nclimate change is more associated with a wide range of influences on climate, including drought and\nagriculture [ 9 ]. An N-gram analysis suggested that global warming showed a closer connection with\nice, snow, and sea, whereas climate change was always connected with scientific investigations, such as\nreports, the environment, and science [ 13 ]. Some respondents even hold the belief that global warming\nresults in climate change [ 9 ].\nThe two distinct climate discourses being produced based on the same reality can be explained\nby the framing theory in communication study. Framing refers to the phenomenon where the reality\nis always partially selected or highlighted when described by the public or media [ 19 ]. By distinctly\ndefining problems, suggesting solutions, and indicating casual interpretations [ 20 ], di ff erent frames\ntell the audience di ff erent stories and influence how they observe facts [ 21 , 22 ]. Two types of frames,\nequivalency frames and emphasis frames, are commonly studied by scholars to examine how framing\ne ff ects influence individuals’ attitudes and beliefs [ 23 ]. Equivalency frames describe the same fact or\nlogic with di ff erent words and may suggest that the audience perceives facts in psychologicallydi ff erent\nways [ 24 ].

For\nindividual ensemble members, the number of countries with ‘unprecedented’ HCVI values at\n2°C varies from three to seven. Conversely, many countries in the baseline climate have levels\nof vulnerability to food insecurity that are greater than those expected in other countries under\n2°C global warming. This suggests that other factors are already posing greater risk for food\ninsecurity than 2°C climate change is expected to cause in other countries, so the increased risk\nfrom climate change should not overshadow the need to reduce vulnerability to food insecurity\narising from non-climatic factors. There is scope to reduce vulnerability to food insecurity by\naddressing various socio-economic issues in such counties.\nThe JULES simulations show a general tendency towards increased run-off over\napproximately half of the land surface ( figure 9 ) and the majority of the major river basins\nassessed ( figure 10 ), but with large regional uncertainties including the possibility of decreased\nflows in many basins.

We thus emphasize the need to invest significant re- sources into curating and documenting LM training data. In this, we follow Jo et al.

Birhane and Prabhu note, echoing Ruha Benjamin [ 15 ], “Feeding AI systems on the world’s beauty, ugliness, and cruelty, but expecting it to reflect only the beauty is a fantasy.” [p.1541] When we rely on ever larger datasets we risk incurring *doc-* *umentation debt* , 18 i.e. putting ourselves in a situation where the datasets are both undocumented and too large to document post hoc. While documentation allows for potential accountability [ 13 , 52 , 86 ], undocumented training data perpetuates harm without recourse. Without documentation, one cannot try to understand training data characteristics in order to mitigate some of these attested issues or even unknown ones. The solution, we propose, is to budget for\n18 On the notion of documentation debt as applied to code, rather than data, see [ 154 ].\ndocumentation as part of the planned costs of dataset creation, and only collect as much data as can be thoroughly documented within that budget.", + "page_start": 5, + "page_end": 5, + "source_file": "arxiv5_ccby4license.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# /opt/ibm/odfts/V9.0/bin/configTool.sh printToken\n\n## Chapter 18.

When the client\nretrieves a LOB segment, the client also counts the pages that it receives from the server.\nThe user will receive the message “ Viewer Page count does not match Load Page Count ”\nwhen the two page counts do not match.\nThis problem is usually caused by the user running ACIF to load a document that contains\nthe form feed character x'0C'.

A datasheet is a standardized form of\ndocumentation that includes information about provenance and composition of data,\nand includes information on management practices, recommended uses or collection\nprocess.\n- **Quality assurance:** Above, we note the many features that make books useful for AI\ntraining, as compared with web data, for example. That said, the institution managing\na books commons dataset may still want to collect and curate the collection to meet\nthe particular purposes of its users. For instance, it may want to take steps to\nmitigate biases inherent in the dataset, by ensuring books are representative of a\nvariety of languages and geographies.\n- **Understanding uses:** The institution managing a books commons dataset could\nmeasure and study how the dataset is used, to inform future improvements. Such\nmonitoring may also enable accountability measures with respect to uses of the\ndataset. Introducing community norms for disclosing datasets used in AI training and\nother forms of AI research would facilitate such monitoring.\n- **Governance mechanisms:** In determining matters like acceptable and ethical use, the\nfundamental question is “who decides.” While this might be settled simply by whoever\nsets up and operates the dataset and related infrastructure, participatory\nmechanisms — such as advisory bodies bringing together a broad range of users and\nstakeholders of a collection — could also be incorporated.", + "page_start": 18, + "page_end": 19, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## * **6.

This could\nsolely be an option for copyright holders, although authors might be allowed to exercise an\nopt-out for their books even if they don’t hold the copyrights. This might create challenges if\nthe author and rightsholder disagree about whether to opt a particular book out of the\ncorpus.

While most\nrelevant for approaches that depend on limitations and exceptions, considerations of these\nquestions may be relevant across both tracks.\n*Would authors, publishers, and other relevant rightsholders* *and creators have any ability to exclude their works?*\nOne of the greatest sources of controversy in this area is the extent to which rightsholders of\ncopyrighted works, as well as the original creators of such works (e.g., book authors in this\ncontext), should be able to prevent use of their works for AI training.\nWhile a system that required affirmative “opt-in” consent would limit utility significantly (as\ndiscussed above in the context of directly licensing works), a system that allowed some\nforms of “opt-out” could still be quite useful to some types of AI development. In the context\nof use cases like development of LLMs, the performance impact may not be so significant.\nSince most in-copyright books are not actively managed, the majority of books would remain\nin the corpus by default. The performance of LLMs can still be improved across various\ndimensions without including, for example, the most famous writers or those who continue\nto commercially exploit their works and may choose to exercise an opt-out. Perhaps the\npotential for licensing relationships (and revenue) may induce some rightsholders to come\nforward and begin actively managing their works. In such a case, uses that do require a\nlicense may once again become more feasible once the rightsholder can be reached.\nWorkshop participants discussed different types of opt-outs that could be built. For example,\nopt-outs could be thought of not in blanket terms, but only as applied to certain uses, for\nexample to commercial uses of the corpus, but not research uses. This could build on or\nmirror the approach that the EU has taken in its text and data mining exceptions to\ncopyright. Opt-outs might be more granular, by focusing on allowing or forbidding particular 38", + "page_start": 17, + "page_end": 17, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Open Data: Emerging trends, issues and best practices a research project about openness of public[...]\n\n## **3.

This ID is available to the operating system in the Vendor Specified Identifier field\nof page 0x80 or 0x83 (vital product data, VPD), which the storage device sends in response\nto SCSI INQUIRY command from the host.\nIn practice, the ID can be obtained from the multipath driver in the operating system.

INTRODUCTION**\n\nThe patterns formed in dewetting processes have attracted strong interest since Reiter analysed the\nprocess quantitatively in the early nineties. In these experiments, that proved to be a paradigm in\nour understanding of dewetting, a uniform thin film of polystyrene (tens of nanometers thick) is\ndeposited on a flat silicon oxide substrate is brought above the glass transition temperature. The\nfilm ruptures in several places, forming holes which subsequently grow, competing for space. As a\nresult, a random polygonal network of liquid rims emerges. The rims may further decay into lines\nof small drops due to a Rayleigh-type instability [1- 3]. The related problems of retracting contact\nlines on partially wetting substrates and the opening of single holes in rather thick films have also\nbeen studied [4, 5].\nSubsequent work has mainly focused on many different aspects of the dewetting process for simple\nnon-volatile liquids and polymers (for reviews see Refs. [6- 8]). All stages of the dewetting of a\nfilm are studied: the initial film rupture via nucleation or a surface instability (called spinodal\ndewetting) [1, 9- 13], the growth process of individual holes [14- 16], the evolution of the resulting\nhole pattern [3, 13], and the stability of the individual dewetting fronts [17- 19]. We note in\npassing, that descriptions of dewetting patterns may also be found in historic papers, particularly\nfor the dewetting of a liquid film on a liquid substrate. Tomlinson [20, footnote 18 on p. 40]\nconsidered turpentine on water and Marangoni [21, p. 352f] oil on water.\nMore recently, interest has turned to the dewetting processes of solutions and suspensions. How-\never, these systems have not yet been investigated in any great depth. Such systems are compli-\ncated because their behaviour is determined by the interplay between the various solute (or colloid)\nand solvent transport processes. Furthermore, the solvents that are used often evaporate, i.e., one\nhas to distinguish between ‘normal’ convective dewetting and evaporative dewetting. A number\nof experiments have been performed employing (colloidal) solutions of polymers [22- 25], macro-\nmolecules like collagen and DNA [26- 31] and nanoparticles [32- 40]. The latter are sometimes\nreferred to as ‘nanofluids’. The initial focus of much of the research in the field has been on\ninvestigating the structures that are formed which are similar to the ones observed in the ‘classi-\ncal’ dewetting of non-volatile liquids.

It\nresults from a long-wave approximation and consists of coupled evolution equations for the film\nthickness profile and the mean particle concentration. It has been used to discuss the self-pinning\nof receding contact lines that is related to the formation of rings of dried-in particles (coffee-\nstain effect) that frequently occurs when films or drops of solutions or suspensions dewet by the\ncombined effects of convection and evaporation.\nOne of the primary goals of researchers in this field, is the search for simple-to-use techniques\nthat allow one to produce hierarchically structured functional layers for a wide range of applica-\ntions such as, e.g., organic solar cells [98]. This means that the experiments advance very rapidly\ntowards increasingly complex systems. For example, there have been investigations of the influ-\nence of the phase behaviour on the drying of droplets of a suspension of hard-sphere colloidal\nparticles and non-adsorbing polymer [99], of the instabilities and the formation of drops in evap-\norating thin films of binary solutions [100] that may lead to treelike patterns [101], of effects of\na secondary phase separation on evaporation-induced pattern formation in polymer films [102],", + "page_start": 23, + "page_end": 23, + "source_file": "1001.2669.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Modelling approaches to the dewetting of evaporating thin films of nanoparticle suspensions\n\n## **IV.

These complex experimental systems all represent systems of high\npractical interest that the theories presented here are not (yet) able to describe. Such experiments\ndo, however, provide a strong motivation for further work to extend the theories presented here, as\nwell as to develop new approaches.\nLet us finally mention that several topics were entirely excluded from our discussion here. First, we\nfocused on a limited range of descriptions and did, for instance, not mention lattice Boltzmann,\nmolecular dynamics or dissipative particle dynamics approaches that may also be employed to\ndescribe fluid suspensions [106- 109]. Second, we have only discussed spatially homogeneous\nsubstrates. Patterned substrates are widely used in dewetting experiments [38, 110- 112]. Theoret-\nical descriptions are well developed for the dewetting of films of pure non-volatile liquids on such\nsubstrates [68, 113- 119]. However, in the case of volatile liquids on heterogeneous substrates,\nmuch less work has been done. A third topic that we did not touch upon are possible continuum\nthin film approaches to demixing dewetting suspensions. We believe it is feasible to extend the\ndiffuse interface theories such as model-H [120] to include the influence of evaporation in dewet-\nting nanoparticle suspensions.

In this regime, the instability is a\npurely dynamic effect and energetics plays no role in determining the number of fingers. We call\nthis the ‘transport regime’.\nTo illustrate the influence of energetics (characterized by the interaction parameters *ε* *ij* ) on finger-\ning in Fig. 3 we display the dependence of the mean finger number on particle-liquid interaction\nstrength *ε* *nl* . For *ε* *nl* *≥* 1 *.* 5 the mean finger number *< f >* is nearly constant; this is the trans-\nport regime. However, on decreasing *ε* *nl* below 1.5, we observe a marked increase in the value\nof *< f >* , indicating that energy plays an important role in determining the number of fingers in\nthis regime. In this parameter range, demixing of particles and liquid occurs at the moving front\nand increases its transverse instability. In this ‘demixing regime’, the wavelength of the fingering\ninstability is determined by the dynamics *and* the energetics of the system. Decreasing *ε* *nl* further\n(below 1 *.* 4 in Fig. 3) one first observes in regime (iii) a slight decrease in the average finger num-\nber. This is a geometric effect resulting from our one-dimensional finger counting routine: The\nfingers increasingly break up and the dried-in pattern looks progressively isotropic. In regime (iv),\nthe measure *⟨* *f* *⟩* does not represent a finger number but instead indicates a decrease in the typical\n12\ndistance between particle clusters resulting from the demixing process that occurs already in the\nbulk liquid and is not related to the front instability at all.

As the particles attract the liquid there remains some liquid\non the substrate where the nanoparticles are.\nFig. 5 gives snapshots of the evolution of a fingering instability for a retracting dewetting front.\nAt early times the straight front shows a rather short-wave instability, about 16 wiggles can be\nseen. However, they are only a transient: the finger pattern coarsens rapidly till only about 7\nfingers remain. The fingering then becomes stationary, i.e., just as in the KMC, the mean finger\nnumber remains constant, although new branches are continuously created and old branches join\neach other. In general, the results on fingering agree well with results obtained using the KMC\nmodel [41]. From this we conclude that jamming of discrete particles is not a necessary factor\nfor causing the instability, since the fingering is seen here in a continuum model with a diffusion\nconstant that is independent of the nanoparticle concentration.

When using spin-coating, one finds\nthat directly after deposition, evaporation competes with dewetting until all the solvent has evapo-\nrated. The resulting deposits of nanoparticles are imaged by atomic force microscopy (AFM). For\nspin-coated films, the evaporation rate is high and structuring is normally finished before the spin-\ncoater is stopped. Conversely, the solvent evaporation rate is strongly decreased when employing\nthe meniscus technique [61], i.e., by depositing a drop of solution on a Teflon ring that is wetted by\nthe solvent. This allows for a better control of the process and enables the use of contrast-enhanced\nmicroscopy to observe the dewetting process in situ [40]. All pattern formation is confined to the\nregion of the receding contact line of toluene, silicon and air. With both techniques one may find\nmono-modal or bi-modal polygonal networks [34], labyrinthine spinodal structures, or branched\npatterns (see Fig. 1). The meniscus technique allows for the study of branched structures in a\nmore controlled manner. The work in Ref. [40] indicates that fingering strongly depends on the\ninteraction strength of the particles, i.e., on the chain length of the thiol molecules coating the gold\ncores. For short chains (C 5 and C 8 ) no formation of branched structures is observed. At similar\nconcentrations, well-developed branched structures are formed for longer chains (C 10 and C 12 ).\nFor even longer chains (C 14 ), however, one again finds less branching. It also depends on the\namount of excess thiol in the solvent (for details see Ref. [40]).\nWhen following the evolution of the branched patterns in situ (see the complementary video\nmaterial of Ref.

The chosen parameter values ensure that the\nfilm of thickness *h* 0 is linearly stable. As we do not incorporate noise, no nucleation of additional\nholes can occur (even with noise the probability would be extremely low). Without evaporation the\nfilm dewets ‘classically’ by a retraction of the initially step-like front. After a short time, surface\ntension smoothes the profile of the receding front and a capillary rim forms that collects all the\n20\ndewetted liquid. The front recedes until all liquid is collected in a central drop. Since no liquid\nevaporates [ *Q* nc = 0 in Eq. (1)], the particle concentration does not change during the process.\nThe situation changes when allowing for evaporation ( *Q* nc *>* 0 ). Now the front may retract\nby convection *and/or* evaporation. Evaporation leads to the possibility of a strong increase in\nthe particle concentration at the contact line as evaporation is strongest there. Due to the strong\nnonlinear dependence of the viscosity on the particle concentration, this may lead to a dramatic\ndecrease of the convective contribution to the front velocity. For moderate evaporation rates, this\nmay result in a (temporary) self-pinning of the front. Within the present basic model, the process\ncan (after complete dry-in) result in three different basic deposition patterns: (i) for very fast\nevaporation rates, all other processes occur over time scales that are much larger.

A relatively simple model for the latter can be derived in the\nframework of a long-wave or lubrication equation [8, 63]. We will illustrate here the approach\nby considering an isothermal situation where the nanoparticles are not surface active, i.e., they do\nnot act as surfactants. For a model incorporating the effects of latent heat generation and surface-\nactive particles resulting in thermal and solutal Marangoni stresses, see Ref. [88]. A description of\nspreading particle solutions incorporating a structural disjoining pressure has also been considered\n[89]. For related work on particle-laden film flow on an incline see Refs.

After reviewing experiments on suspensions of\nthiol-coated gold nanoparticles in toluene we have focused on the modelling of the transport and\nphase change processes involved. A theoretical approach to the modelling of the hydrodynamics\non the mesoscale has been described as well as more microscopic models for the dynamics in the\nobserved nanoscopic ‘postcursor’ film.

For the parameter values of Ref. [57]\nand a small contact angle ( *≈* 0 *.* 01 ), the cross-over thickness is in the range of 1-5 nanometers. This estimate justifies the neglect of convective transport in a description of the postcursor film\nand may explain why one has such good agreement between the experimentally observed patterns\nand the patterns obtained from a purely two-dimensional (single layer) kinetic Monte Carlo model\n[35]. We introduce the KMC model below in Section III A.\nIn several respects, however, the kinetic Monte Carlo model is rather simplistic, limiting its po-\ntential applications. For instance, the thermodynamic chemical potential as well as any wetting\ninteraction of the solvent with the substrate are collected in a single parameter - an effective chem-\nical potential. This implies that any influence of a disjoining pressure is ‘smeared out’ over the\nwhole system and that no distinction between the short- and the long-range parts of the disjoining\npressure is possible. It is furthermore based on the assumption that evaporation/condensation is\n8\nthe dominant dynamic process, but does not allow one to probe this assumption. In Section III B\nwe show how one may develop a dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) that describes the\nsystem at a similar level to the KMC.

We employ\ncoupled evolution equations for the film thickness profile and mean particle concentration. The model is\nused to discuss the self-pinning and de-pinning of a contact line related to the ‘coffee-stain’ effect.\nIn the course of the review we discuss the advantages and limitations of the different theories, as well as\npossible future developments and extensions.\nThe paper is published in: *J.

Dynamical Density Functional theory**\n\nThe limitations of the kinetic Monte Carlo model introduced in the previous Section are related\nto its character as a two-dimensional lattice gas with only three states: gas, liquid or particle.\nThis implies that (i) no liquid can be transported to a site on the surface already filled with liquid,\ni.e., diffusion of the liquid can not be incorporated in a sensible way and (ii) one is not able to\ndistinguish between the influence of the short- and the long-range parts of the interactions with the\nsubstrate, as all such interactions are absorbed into the effective chemical potential.\nHowever, using dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) [78- 83] one can develop a model\nfor the processes in the ultrathin postcursor film without these limitations, although here we limit\nourselves to developing the theory at the level of the KMC and solely discuss how to extend it to\nincorporate the influence of the liquid diffusion over the surface. Such a DDFT model describes\nthe coupled dynamics of the density fields of the liquid *ρ* *l* and the nanoparticles *ρ* *n* . The densities\n*ρ* *l* and *ρ* *n* are defined as the probabilities of finding a given lattice site on the surface to be occupied\nby a film of liquid or by a nanoparticle, respectively. Note that the probability densities correspond\nto number densities as we use the lattice spacing *σ* = 1 as our unit of length.\nTo develop the DDFT, one must first derive the underlying free energy functional *F* [ *ρ* *l* *, ρ* *n* ] , and\nsecondly, devise dynamical equations for both density fields that account for the conserved and the\nnon-conserved aspects of their dynamics, i.e., transport and phase change processes, respectively.\nFor a system governed by the hamiltonian (3), we may construct a mean-field (Bragg-Williams)\napproximation for the free energy of the system [78, 84] which contains an entropic contribution\nand contributions from the interactions between the different species (nanoparticles and liquid).\nThe free energy is a semi-grand free energy, since the liquid is treated grand canonically (it is\ncoupled to a reservoir with chemical potential *μ* ), whereas the nanoparticles are treated in the", + "page_start": 13, + "page_end": 13, + "source_file": "1001.2669.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Modelling approaches to the dewetting of evaporating thin films of nanoparticle suspensions\n\n## **III. MODELLING APPROACHES**\n\n### **A. Kinetic Monte Carlo model**\n\ndynamics is of paramount importance. It is determined by the possible Monte Carlo moves, their\nrelative frequencies, and the probabilities for their acceptance. Two types of moves are allowed: (i)\nevaporation/condensation of liquid and (ii) diffusion of nanoparticles within the liquid. A mobility\n*M* corresponds to the ratio of cycles of particle and solvent moves and reflects the physical ratio of\n9\ntime scales for evaporation and diffusion. A large mobility *M* indicates fast diffusion as compared\nto evaporation. A trial move is accepted with the probability *p* acc = min[1 *,* exp( *−* ∆ *E/kT* )] where *k* is the Boltzmann constant, *T* the temperature and ∆ *E* is the change in energy resulting from the\npotential move. Note that particles are only allowed to move into wet areas of the substrate, i.e.,\nonto cells with *l* = 1 . This models zero diffusivity of the particles on a dry substrate. The replaced\nliquid fills the site left by the nanoparticle.\nWithout nanoparticles, the behaviour of the model is well known as it reduces to the classical\ntwo-dimensional Ising model [74]. For *kT < kT* *c* *≈* 0 *.* 567 liquid and vapour coexist when *μ* =\n*μ* coex = *−* 2 . For *μ >* *−* 2 [ *μ <* *−* 2 ] eventually the liquid [vapour] dominates. A straight liquid- gas interface will recede [advance] for *μ <* *−* 2 [ *μ >* *−* 2 ], i.e. one finds evaporative dewetting [wetting] fronts. If one starts, however, with a substrate covered homogeneously by the liquid,\nfor *μ <* *−* 2 the film will dewet via a nucleation or spinodal-like process. If the nanoparticles are present, they form dried-in structures when all the liquid evaporates. The final structures do not\nnormally change any further - at least on short time scales. However, if the liquid wets the particles\n(i.e. is attracted to the particles), over long times there might be a coarsening of the structures,\nfacilitated by the adsorbed liquid.

EXPERIMENT WITH NANOPARTICLE SOLUTIONS**\n\nThe macroscopic front can be transversely unstable resulting in large-scale ( *>* 100 *μ* m) strongly\nanisotropic fingered structures. For fronts that move relatively quickly these macroscopic struc-\ntures cover all the available substrate. However, when at a later stage the macroscopic front be-\ncomes slower, those fingers become scarce and ‘macroscopic fingering’ finally ceases. At this\nstage it is possible to appreciate that the seemingly dry region left behind by the front is not at all\ndry, but covered by an ultrathin ‘postcursor’ film that is itself unstable. The thickness of this film\n6\nis similar to the size of the nanoparticles. At a certain distance from the macroscopic front, the\nultrathin film starts to evolve a locally isotropic pattern of holes. The holes themselves grow in an\nunstable manner resulting in an array of isotropically branched structures as shown, e.g., above in\nFig. 1. This indicates that at least some of the patterns described in the literature may have arisen\nfrom processes in similar ultrathin ‘postcursor’ films.\nThe existence of the ultrathin ‘postcursor’ film is an experimental finding that can be drawn on\nwhen choosing a theoretical approach to account for the pattern formation (see below). Note how-\never, that at the moment there exists no explanation for its existence. A possible hypothesis is\nthat the substrate strongly attracts the nanoparticles. As a result they form a dense suspension\nlayer having a thickness roughly equal to the diameter of the nanoparticles. The observed meso-\nscopic dewetting front then actually correspond to an autophobic dewetting of a low concentration\nsuspension from the higher concentration suspension on the surface of the substrate.", + "page_start": 5, + "page_end": 6, + "source_file": "1001.2669.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Modelling approaches to the dewetting of evaporating thin films of nanoparticle suspensions\n\n## **IV. CONCLUSION**\n\nrating ultrathin film and also to investigate the influence of processes such as surface diffusion by\nthe liquid, which are not incorporated in the KMC model. However, it is straightforward to extend\nthe theory to consider a fully three-dimensional fluid film, in which one can distinguish between\nshort- and long-range interactions of solvent and/or solute with the substrate. We have, however,\nrestricted the examples given here to situations that can also be described using the KMC model.\nA further exploration will be presented elsewhere.\nFinally, we have discussed a simple thin film model for the hydrodynamics on the mesoscale. It\nresults from a long-wave approximation and consists of coupled evolution equations for the film\nthickness profile and the mean particle concentration. It has been used to discuss the self-pinning\nof receding contact lines that is related to the formation of rings of dried-in particles (coffee-\nstain effect) that frequently occurs when films or drops of solutions or suspensions dewet by the\ncombined effects of convection and evaporation.\nOne of the primary goals of researchers in this field, is the search for simple-to-use techniques\nthat allow one to produce hierarchically structured functional layers for a wide range of applica-\ntions such as, e.g., organic solar cells [98]. This means that the experiments advance very rapidly\ntowards increasingly complex systems.

The silver-rich mineralisation is\nhosted by the Esperanza high-sulphidation\nepithermal alteration system associated with\nthe Cerros Bravos volcanic complex.\nThe project consists of three well-defined miner-\nalised deposits and a number of undeveloped\nexploration targets. The main deposits are\nArqueros, Chimberos and Teterita. Arqueros was\npreviously mined on a limited scale by under-\nground methods and Chimberos was exploited\nas an open pit mine, delivering about 40 million\nounces of silver in 1998/99. All three deposits\ncurrently have a combined Mineral Resources of\nabout 93 million ounces of silver equivalent or\n1.6 million ounces of gold equivalent (EQ60) 1 .\nA feasibility study for a decision to mine the\nArqueros portion of Nueva Esperanza was\ncompleted in late 2012, demonstrating that open\npit mining at two million tonnes per year and\nprocessing by milling and agitation leaching in\ncyanide was technically feasible.

The inputs for DSSAT simulation include daily weather data, soil parameters, crop calendar data and man- agement information. All the inputs are formatted at a 0.5° × 0.5° grid resolution which are computed by high- performance computers. Weather data is from the AgMERRA dataset, including maximum and minimum tem- peratures, precipitation, total radiation and humidity. Crop calendar data were from the Center for Sustainability and Global Environment (SAGE), in which the existing observations of crop planting and harvesting dates are gridded formatted at a resolution of 5 ­min 50 . For management information, fertilizer applications, irrigation and other management practices are required. A crop-specific gridded dataset of nitrogen fertilizer application for the world was developed by integrating national and subnational fertilizer application data from a variety of sources, which is used to set up current fertilizer application rates for maize in each grid cell. Soil parameters are from the International Soil Profile Dataset (WISE), including soil texture, bulk density, pH, organic carbon content and fraction of calcium carbonate for each of five 20 cm thick soil ­layers 51 . All the soil data is allocated to be in accordance with the request of DSSAT simulation; the missing soil parameters for organic soils were adopted from FAO soil dataset. First maize yields across the world during the historical period 1986- 2005 were simulated at the 0.5° × 0.5° grid scale with two main production systems, including Spring maize and Summer maize. Historical national maize production is aggregated from simulated gridded yield and weighted by grid cell maize areas in 2000 from the gridded global dataset by combining two data ­products 47 . Second, genetic parameters of specific cultivars of maize from previous works were adopted for the initial parameters; model parameters related to crop genotype characteristics were calibrated and tuned following the method in Xiong et al. 52 , in which the simulated yields from 1986- 2005 were comparable to the statistical data. Third, maize yields across the world were simulated under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C. Finally, global and national maize yields were aggregated from grid- ded values; changes in national and global yields under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C were calculated, comparing maize yield average for 1986- 2005.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "pubmed9.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The impact of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C global warming on global maize production and trade OPEN\n\n## **production and trade**\n\n### **OPEN**\n\n##### www.nature.com/scientificreports/\n\n**Yield change of maize under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C.** Maize production is affected by climate change apparently. According to the simulation results of CERES-maize, the yield of maize would decrease in the worldwide relative to 1986- 2005 under global warming by 2.0 °C; it would increase little under global warming by 1.5 °C. The distributions of maize yield loss under the two scenarios are similar to each other, mostly located in the middle and low latitude, which are the main regions for maize planting in the world. The loss risk of maize under global warming by 2.0 °C is much more serious than that under global warming of 1.5 °C. However, there are increasing potentials of maize yield in many regions, nearly half of the whole maize planting area in the world, in which the climate situation would become more proper for maize under global\n**Figure 2.** (continued)\n6\nwarming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C. So, there are apparent challenges and opportunities for maize production in the whole world under climate change. We should grasp the opportunities and expand the yield increasing poten- tials; meanwhile, the threat of maize yield loss should be controlled and compressed to the minimum in the high-risk regions. From the results simulated by IPSL-CM5A-LR model under RCP 2.6 scenario, the gross yield of maize in the world between 2020 and 2039 would decrease by 6.8% relative to 1986- 2005. The area is 37.7% of the whole maize planting regions in the world, in which the yield loss would be less than 50%, mainly located in the low and middle latitude of South America and Asia, and the middle latitude of Africa and North America. The area is 16.4% of the whole maize planting regions, in which the yield loss would be more than 50%, mainly located in the low latitude of South America and the middle latitude of Asia and Europe. The area is 45.8% of the whole maize planting regions, in which the yield would increase, mainly located in the low latitude of Africa, Asia and North America, the high latitude of Europe. From the results simulated by the GFDL-ESM2M model under RCP 4.5 scenario, the gross yield of maize in the world between 2041 and 2060 would increase by 7.2% relative to 1986- 2005. There are opposite trends of maize yield under global warming by 1.5 °C, which are simulated by different global climate models. However, the spatial distributions of maize yield change are similar to each other. The difference is that the regions of high yield loss rate are decreasing, and the regions of yield increasing are going up. In a comprehensive perspective, under global warming by 1.5 °C, maize yield in the whole world would increase 0.18% relative to 1986- 2005 (Fig. 3 ). According to Paris Agreement, all countries should do their best to limit the global warming by 1.5 °C until the end of 21 century. If that objective could be accomplished, gross maize production of the whole world would not be influenced so much by climate change, but the food", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 5, + "source_file": "pubmed9.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The impact of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C global warming on global maize production and trade OPEN\n\n## **production and trade**\n\n### **OPEN**\n\n##### www.nature.com/scientificreports/\n\n**Figure 5.** Yield loss rates on maize in top 20 countries under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C.\nby 1.5 °C. According to the simulation results, comparing to 1986- 2005, the maize yield in the United States, China and Brazil would decrease under global warming by 2.0 °C; the yield loss rate would reach more than 24% in Brazil; the United States would decrease by 13.3%; China would decrease by 11.5%. However, there would be increasing trends in Argentina and Mexico; the maize yield would increase by 16.8% in Argentina; the yield increasing rate would exceed 40% in Mexico. Overall, the gross maize yield in the top 5 countries would decrease by 11.4% under global warming by 2.0 °C. By comparing the maize production in different countries, it can be found that the reduction trend of total maize production in the top five countries is more obvious, especially under the scenario of global warming by 2.0 °C, the global food trade and food security may face greater risks. From the view of continents, there are different trends of maize yield changes in the 6 continents (except Ant- arctica) under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C (Fig. 6 ). From the results of simulated by CRESE-maize under global warming by 1.5 °C, the maize yield in 3 continents would decline apparently, including South America, Europe and Oceania; the average yield loss rates are respectively − 15.6%, − 12.4%, − 36.4%; in the other 3 con- tinents the average maize yield would go up, especially in Africa more than 30%; the increasing trends are slight in Asia and North America, in which the yield increasing rates are separately 0.7% and 0.4%. However, the yield change trends simulated by IPSL-CM5A-LR and GFDL-ESM2M models are different in 2 continents, including Asia and North America. From the results of simulated by CRESE-maize under global warming by 2.0 °C, the maize yield in 5 continents would decline apparently, except Africa; the average yield loss rates are respectively − 7.9% (Asia), − 14.1% (North America), − 9.3% (South America), − 22.5% (Europe), − 25.5% (Oceania); only in Africa the average maize yield would go up also more than 30%; meanwhile the yield change trends simulated by IPSL-CM5A-LR and GFDL-ESM2M models are the same in each continent. Comparing the two global warming scenarios, there would be apparent variations in maize yield in Asia and North America, in which the annual maize yield accounts for a great proportion of the whole world, leading to a much more serious yield loss under global warming by 2.0 °C than that under global warming by 1.5 °C. There would be an obvious crisis of food supply under global warming by 2.0 °C with the increasing population in the future.

For this study, we use a comparative static analysis approach to simulate the impact of climate changes on the prices and trade of the major food crops under current economic conditions. Utilizing current economic conditions has the advan- tage of minimizing assumptions and model uncertainties related to future economic ­conditions 55 , 56 . The original GTAP database doesn’t include maize as a separate sector, rather it is combined with other coarse grains to form an “other coarse grain” sector. For this study, we updated the GTAP database by splitting maize from the original sector in the database, design an appropriate sectoral and regional aggregation scheme to the original database. The detailed method is given as follows: First, we improved the database by splitting maize from the existing sector “other coarse grain”, following similar work using ­GTAP 57 - 59 based on the routines from the Splitcom ­method 60 . In this procedure, the old flows of data both at national and trade levels are allocated between the new flows using weights. The national weights include the division of each unsplit user’s use of the original split commodity among the new commodities; the division of unsplit inputs to the original industry between the new industries; the splitting of new industry’s use of each new commodity. Maize use is mainly shared between feed, food, processing and others (seed, waste, etc.). Trade shares allocate the original slice of the split commodity into the new commodity for all elements of basic price value, tax, and margin. Finally, we used the RAS method for balancing the newly created database. The values for the national shares matrix were obtained from FAOSTAT. The trade shares matrix was calculated based on the data from UN Comtrade Database. Second, our sectoral aggregation scheme for GTAP ensures that all the competing and complimenting sectors for maize are present in the most disaggregated form. For example, for maize, other crops compete for inputs of production and both livestock and households are major users of maize. For regional aggregation, we kept the details for all the main producing, consuming, and trading regions, for maize.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "pubmed9.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The impact of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C global warming on global maize production and trade OPEN\n\n## **production and trade**\n\n### **1.5°C 2.0°C**\n\n**Conclusion.** According to the simulation results, the yield of maize under global warming by 2.0 °C would decrease between 3.0 and 18.7% in the worldwide relative to 1986- 2005; the maize yield would fluctuate between − 6.8 and 7.2% under global warming by 1.5 °C. From the spatial distribution, the gross maize yield in the top 5 high-yield countries (including the United States, China, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico) would decrease by 2% under global warming by 1.5 °C and 11.4% under global warming by 2.0 °C. At the global level, the market price for maize would increase by 0.7% and 3.4% under 1.5 °C scenario and 2.0 °C scenario, respectively, which would vary quite largely among different countries and regions. So, it is urgent for all countries to pay enough attention to the loss risk of maize yield and take actions of mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The time left for changing our minds and actions is becoming less and less.\n**Data availability** The historical weather data (1986- 2005) that support the analysis with ESMs in this study are publicly available online at [https://​data.​giss.​nasa.​gov/​impac​ts/​agmip​cf/](https://data.giss.nasa.gov/impacts/agmipcf/) ; the future climate scenario data (2006- 2099) that support the analysis with ESMs in this study are publicly available online at [https://​pcmdi.​llnl.​gov/?​cmip5](https://pcmdi.llnl.gov/?cmip5) and [https://​](https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/projects/esgf-llnl/) [esgf-​node.​llnl.​gov/​proje​cts/​esgf-​llnl/](https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/projects/esgf-llnl/) .

For the whole world more mitigation and adaptation actions should be taken from now on. Food security would be a significant challenge in this century.\n**Yield change of maize in main countries.** There are huge differences in impacts on maize yield under climate change, which would influence the food crisis in different regions. There are 159 countries in the whole world which plant maize. The gross yield of maize the top 20 countries accounts for more than 90% of the total yield in the 159 countries. So, the changes in the top 20 countries under future scenarios would influence the food security of the whole world (Fig. 5 ). From the results of simulated by CRESE-maize under global warming by 1.5 °C, there would be 75 countries facing with yield loss of maize; the mean yield loss rate would become 33.5%. There would be 84 countries experiencing yield increases. Overall, the global maize yield would slightly increase. Under global warming by 2.0 °C, there would be 82 countries facing with yield loss of maize, for which the mean yield loss rate is approximate to that under global warming by 1.5 °C. There would be 77 countries experiencing yield increase; however, the mean yield increase is apparently smaller than that under global warm- ing by 1.5 °C. Generally, the global maize yield would decrease. The results show that the adverse effect of warm- ing up 2.0 °C on global maize production is far greater than warming up 1.5 °C. It is important to take actions to develop forward-looking adaptation measures to cope with future climate change. According to statistics in 2018, the gross maize yield in the top 5 countries is almost 80% of the total maize yield of the whole world. The United States accounts for more than 32%; China accounts for about 24%; Brazil, Argentina and Mexico account for about 23%. The fluctuation of maize production in these five top countries will have a significant impact on the global maize trade. Based on the simulation results, comparing to 1986- 2005, the maize yield in China, Brazil and Argentina would decrease under global warming by 1.5 °C; the yield loss rate would reach more than 20% in Brazil; Argentina would decrease by 14.7%; China would decrease by 3.7%. However, there would be increasing trends in the United States and Mexico; the change in the United States would not be significant and the maize yield would increase by 0.5%; the yield increasing rate would exceed 50% in Mexico.

There are huge differences among the continents; South America, Asia and the Middle East are threatened seriously by yield loss seriously under global warming by 1.5 °C. The changes in maize yield in different regions would influence the maize price and food trades. So, it should be cautious to cope with the maize changes under global warming by 1.5 °C. From the results of simulated by the NorESM1-M model under RCP 4.5 scenario, the gross yield of maize in the world between 2060 and 2079 would decrease by 18.7% relative to 1986- 2005. The area is 41.7% of the whole maize planting regions in the world, in which the yield loss would be less than 50%. The area is 15.6% of the whole maize planting regions, in which the yield loss would be more than 50%. The area is 42.7% of the whole maize planting regions, in which the yield would increase. The distribution of maize yield change is similar to that under global warming by 1.5 °C. From the results simulated by the GFDL-ESM2M model under RCP 6.0 scenario, the gross yield of maize in the world between 2065 and 2084 would decrease by 3% relative to 1986- 2005. Comparing to the results of the NorESM1-M model, the regions of high yield loss rate are increasing, and the regions of yield increases are going down; but the per unit area yields are increasing quickly in the regions of yield increasing. So, the gross maize yield in the whole world simulated by the GFDL-ESM2M model is more than the NorESM1-M model. In a comprehensive perspective, under global warming by 2.0 °C, maize yield in the whole world would decrease 10.8% relative to 1986- 2005 (Fig. 4 ). Compared to the results under global warming by 1.5 °C, the risk of yield loss is much higher. According to the new results from the Emission Gap Report in 2019, the target of global warming by 1.5 °C would not be implemented according to the reality of mitigation actions; the chance become much bigger for all countries in the world, who will be facing the severe challenge of global temperature rise of 2.0 °C or even higher (3.0 °C or 4.0 °C) in the future.

In the near future, if the global temperature can be effectively controlled under 1.5 °C warming scenario, there would be an increase in the potential for maize yield in the worldwide. All regions and countries should take actions to reduce the yield loss risk. For the yield-increasing regions, the potentials of climate resources should be fully utilized to guarantee maize yield under future scenarios; for the yield-reducing regions, the targeted adaptation actions should be taken in advance under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C. Meanwhile, the risk of price fluctuations caused by global corn trade due to future climate change should be paid more attention to, especially for developing and undeveloped countries. In the view of supply and demand, the population would go up quickly in the next 30 years; the demand for maize would increase hugely; however, the supply of maize would go down in the future, especially under global warming by 2.0 °C; it would intensify the contradiction between supply and demand, which would threaten the food security and sustainable develop- ment in the whole world.

The inputs for DSSAT simulation include soil parameters, crop calendar data and management information are coped with carefully to improve the effective- ness and reliability of maize yield simulation. There are also several uncertainties and limitations. Firstly, there is no unified understanding of how to cal- culate the temperature rise of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C relative to pre-industrial levels in the worldwide. At present the research on climate prediction and impact assessment under global warming 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C usually adopts multi-mode ensemble average ­methods 61 , 62 , which could obtain the warming response under the condition of instantaneous change, rather than the warming process under the stable state expected by the long-term goal. If we expect to obtain the accurate results, the model prediction test should be estimated to form proprietary sce- narios for global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C 63 , 64 , which could support for the impacts assessment on different sectors. Some institutions are carrying out climate change predictions under the lower emission scenarios (global warming 1.5 °C or 2.0 °C). At the same time, in order to achieve the goal of controlling temperature by 1.5 °C at the end of the twenty-first century, it is urgent to take actions to reduce emissions and develop along the track of low energy ­consumption 65 , 66 ; but it is a great challenge for human society to achieve this goal. Secondly, our methodological approach in this study also has some important limitations, including our use of a single crop model to estimate maize yields. There are some limitations for the DSSAT model to simulate yield loss caused by climate extreme ­events 67 , in which the impacts of pests and diseases are also ­ignored 68 . However, the DSSAT model has been applied in a lot of researches to simulate historical maize ­yield 69 - 71 , in which the results are reliable and ­credible 72 . The results of this research could be an important reference to the other studies which simulate global maize yield in the future, applying crop models such as APSIM, WOFOST, ORYZA and so on. Thirdly, there are relatively more researches on the prediction of climate change trend under the background of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C; but the research on the impact assessment of the main grain crops including global trade in worldwide is few. In the meantime, we do not assess the effect of future changes on agriculture, such as increases in farm productivity due to new technology.

This response can be theoretically elaborated as: due to the effect of climate change on yield reduction (improvement), the supply curve moves leftward (rightward), reducing (increasing) production and raising (lowering) prices. In response, the consumers decrease (increase) their consumption of more expensive (cheaper) crops and shifting to other (increase the use of the same) crops. Producers, at the same time, respond by changing farm-level management practices and increasing (decreasing) the amount of acreage under these crops. At a global scale, the reallocation of production and consumption through international trade further alters climate change impacts on global agriculture. This also alters the self-sufficiency ratios of each country/ region due to climate change. In response to production changes, the price of each commodity changes under both scenarios. At the global level, the market price for maize would increase by 0.7% and 3.4% under 1.5 °C scenario and 2.0 °C scenario, respectively, which would vary quite largely among different countries and regions under both climate change scenarios (Fig. 7 ). Particularly, the market price would increase by around 22% and 27% in Iran under 2.0 °C scenario and 1.5 °C scenario, respectively. Iran is also the region where the highest yield reduction is observed due to climate change. Market prices for maize in India, Mexico, Russia, South Africa and the Rest of Africa would decrease significantly under both scenarios, as their yields improve due to climate effects. Along with the domestic production, the climate change will also induce changes in international trade of maize, resulting in changing levels of self-sufficiency ratios (SSR) for each country/region. By SSR, we mean the ratio of domestically produced commodity, to the sum of net imports and domestic production. In our scenario analysis, generally, the countries that face positive effects on yields and/or are relatively less dependent on imports, are positively (less negatively) affected by climate change. For example, maize SSR for Ukraine, India, Russia and Mexico would improve under both scenarios (Fig. 8 ). Whereas the self-sufficiency ratios of maize for Southeast Asia, Bangladesh and Iran will worsen under both scenarios. China’s SSR for maize stays almost similar to the level as the baseline.\n**Discussion and conclusion Discussion.** Our analysis highlights the effects of climate change on global- and regional-specific maize yields and the associated economic consequences in 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C -warming scenarios. We find that the reduction risk of maize yield under global warming by 2.0 °C is much more serious than that under global warm- ing by 1.5 °C. On the one hand, the larger the temperature rise, the greater the evapotranspiration would be. Although the precipitation is also increasing, the evapotranspiration would become more intense. The limitation of water supply for maize growth leads to the decline of yield. On the other hand, relative to global warming by 1.5 °C, maize production would be faced with more serious and frequent extreme climate events, such as drought and heat waves, which would increase the risk of corn yield reduction under global warming by 2.0 °C.

According to the sixth assess- ment report of IPCC, the global average surface temperature increased by 1.09 °C between 1850 and 2020, and almost all regions in the world experienced surface ­warming 5 . Due to global warming, the extreme climate events become more and more frequent, and the ecological environment problems caused by climate change are more and more serious, which restrict the sustainable development of human society and ­health 6 - 10 . Global warming has gradually changed from a scientific issue to a major social issue of common concern to governments and people of all ­countries 11 - 13 . In 2016, nearly 200 parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on climate change reached the Paris Agreement at the climate change conference in ­Paris 14 . Paris Agreement has indicated that it is urgent to hold the increase in global average temperature well below 2.0 °C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Faced with climate change, agriculture is the most vulnerable sector, which will experience the largest negative impacts from climatic change and lead to more serious food security in the whole ­world 15 - 20 . Meanwhile, global production losses might lead to price shocks and trigger export ­restrictions 21 - 24 ; an increasingly interconnected global food ­system 25 , 26 and the projected fragility of the global food production system due to climatic change further exacerbate the threats to food security in the ­worldwide 27 - 29 . So, the impacts of climate changes on crop yields and prices have been of highly concerned. Numerous studies have revealed that the warming trend has negative impact on crop yields and global trade in most regions all over the ­world 30 - 32 . There are three main methods for impacts assessment of climate change on crops, including environment-controlled experiments, statistical regression analysis and model ­simulations 17 , 33 . Environment-controlled experiments are designed to observe the influence of climate factors on crops, such as drought, flood, heat stress, cold damage, elevated ­CO 2 concentration, through which the impact mechanism of climate change on crops would be revealed and ­established 23 , 34 , 35 . Crop models and trade models are applied to simulate the response of crop yield and market price under climate change, based on process-based crop growth in daily time steps, either in selected field sites or in selected ­regions 36 - 39 . The statistical regression analysis usually explores the relationship between historical crop yields and meteorological records in different sites or counties to establish regression functions for crop responses ­predictions 40 - 43 . These researches have documented that crop yield and price would be threatened much more seriously by global warming, especially due to the increasing trend of frequency and intensity of climate extreme events in the future.", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "pubmed9.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The impact of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C global warming on global maize production and trade OPEN\n\n## **production and trade**\n\n### **OPEN**\n\n##### www.nature.com/scientificreports/\n\n4\nThird, yield shocks for maize were incorporated into the GTAP model via changes in land efficiency for the production of the respective in each region.\n**Results Climate change under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C.** There are apparent change trends of temperature and precipitation relative to the baseline (1986- 2005) under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C. The most remarkable characteristics is the rising of mean temperature in the worldwide (Fig. 2 a, b); meanwhile, the rainfall would increase in most regions of the world. The distributions of temperature changes under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C are similar (Fig. 2 c, d). There are few regions in which the temperature would go down under the two scenarios; the temperature goes up more seriously in the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern regions; especially in the high-latitude area the temperature rises more quickly than the other regions. Under global warming by 1.5 °C the area is 54.4% in whole world in which the temperature would go up between 1.0 and 1.5 °C than the baseline, located in the middle and low latitude regions; the area is 29.2% of the whole world in which the temperature would go up more than 1.5 °C, most located in the high latitude regions of Northern Hemisphere; the area is 16.4% of the whole world in which the temperature would go up between 0 and 1.0 °C , mostly located in the Southern Hemisphere and the low latitude regions of Northern Hemisphere. Under global warming by 2.0 °C the area is 12.3% in which the temperature would go up between 1.0 and 1.5 °C than the baseline, located in the middle and low latitude regions; the area is 69.8% in which the temperature would go up between 1.5 and 3.0 °C than the baseline, located in the middle and high latitude regions; the area\n**Figure 2.** Distribution of temperature and precipitation changes under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C ( **a** ) temperature, 1.5 °C; ( **b** ) temperature, 2.0 °C; ( **c** ) precipitation, 1.5 °C; ( **d** ) precipitation, 2.0 °C.

There are apparent trends of humidification in most regions under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C; but the drought risk also should be taken seriously in the other regions. Under global warming by 1.5 °C the area is 73.6% of the whole world in which the precipitation would increase, most located in the Northern Hemisphere; the area is 53.7% of the whole world in which the precipitation would increase by less than 50 mm; however, the area is 26.4% of whole world in which the rainfall would decrease, mainly located in the Southern Hemisphere and the middle regions of Northern Hemisphere. The distribution of precipitation under global warming by 2.0 °C is similar with the situation under global warming by 1.5 °C. The drought-threatened area would increase by 28.5% under global warming by 2.0 °C, especially in the middle and low latitude of the Northern Hemisphere; the area would expand to 26%, in which the precipitation increases more than 50 mm. In other words, the extreme rainfall events (such as drought, rainstorm) under global warming by 2.0 °C would be more serious than those under global warming by 1.5 °C, which is what we should be pay more attention to.", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "pubmed9.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The impact of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C global warming on global maize production and trade OPEN\n\n## **production and trade**\n\n### **1.5°C 2.0°C**\n\n**Author contributions** K.L. designed the framework of the article and analyzed the yield results and the maize price under future sce- narios.

For this study, we use a comparative static analysis approach to simulate the impact of climate changes on the prices and trade of the major food crops under current economic conditions. Utilizing current economic conditions has the advan- tage of minimizing assumptions and model uncertainties related to future economic ­conditions 55 , 56 . The original GTAP database doesn’t include maize as a separate sector, rather it is combined with other coarse grains to form an “other coarse grain” sector. For this study, we updated the GTAP database by splitting maize from the original sector in the database, design an appropriate sectoral and regional aggregation scheme to the original database. The detailed method is given as follows: First, we improved the database by splitting maize from the existing sector “other coarse grain”, following similar work using ­GTAP 57 - 59 based on the routines from the Splitcom ­method 60 . In this procedure, the old flows of data both at national and trade levels are allocated between the new flows using weights. The national weights include the division of each unsplit user’s use of the original split commodity among the new commodities; the division of unsplit inputs to the original industry between the new industries; the splitting of new industry’s use of each new commodity. Maize use is mainly shared between feed, food, processing and others (seed, waste, etc.). Trade shares allocate the original slice of the split commodity into the new commodity for all elements of basic price value, tax, and margin. Finally, we used the RAS method for balancing the newly created database. The values for the national shares matrix were obtained from FAOSTAT. The trade shares matrix was calculated based on the data from UN Comtrade Database. Second, our sectoral aggregation scheme for GTAP ensures that all the competing and complimenting sectors for maize are present in the most disaggregated form. For example, for maize, other crops compete for inputs of production and both livestock and households are major users of maize. For regional aggregation, we kept the details for all the main producing, consuming, and trading regions, for maize.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "pubmed9.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The impact of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C global warming on global maize production and trade OPEN\n\n## **production and trade**\n\n### **OPEN**\n\n##### www.nature.com/scientificreports/\n\n**Yield change of maize under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C.** Maize production is affected by climate change apparently. According to the simulation results of CERES-maize, the yield of maize would decrease in the worldwide relative to 1986- 2005 under global warming by 2.0 °C; it would increase little under global warming by 1.5 °C. The distributions of maize yield loss under the two scenarios are similar to each other, mostly located in the middle and low latitude, which are the main regions for maize planting in the world. The loss risk of maize under global warming by 2.0 °C is much more serious than that under global warming of 1.5 °C. However, there are increasing potentials of maize yield in many regions, nearly half of the whole maize planting area in the world, in which the climate situation would become more proper for maize under global\n**Figure 2.** (continued)\n6\nwarming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C. So, there are apparent challenges and opportunities for maize production in the whole world under climate change. We should grasp the opportunities and expand the yield increasing poten- tials; meanwhile, the threat of maize yield loss should be controlled and compressed to the minimum in the high-risk regions. From the results simulated by IPSL-CM5A-LR model under RCP 2.6 scenario, the gross yield of maize in the world between 2020 and 2039 would decrease by 6.8% relative to 1986- 2005. The area is 37.7% of the whole maize planting regions in the world, in which the yield loss would be less than 50%, mainly located in the low and middle latitude of South America and Asia, and the middle latitude of Africa and North America. The area is 16.4% of the whole maize planting regions, in which the yield loss would be more than 50%, mainly located in the low latitude of South America and the middle latitude of Asia and Europe. The area is 45.8% of the whole maize planting regions, in which the yield would increase, mainly located in the low latitude of Africa, Asia and North America, the high latitude of Europe. From the results simulated by the GFDL-ESM2M model under RCP 4.5 scenario, the gross yield of maize in the world between 2041 and 2060 would increase by 7.2% relative to 1986- 2005. There are opposite trends of maize yield under global warming by 1.5 °C, which are simulated by different global climate models. However, the spatial distributions of maize yield change are similar to each other. The difference is that the regions of high yield loss rate are decreasing, and the regions of yield increasing are going up. In a comprehensive perspective, under global warming by 1.5 °C, maize yield in the whole world would increase 0.18% relative to 1986- 2005 (Fig. 3 ). According to Paris Agreement, all countries should do their best to limit the global warming by 1.5 °C until the end of 21 century.

The inputs for DSSAT simulation include soil parameters, crop calendar data and management information are coped with carefully to improve the effective- ness and reliability of maize yield simulation. There are also several uncertainties and limitations. Firstly, there is no unified understanding of how to cal- culate the temperature rise of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C relative to pre-industrial levels in the worldwide. At present the research on climate prediction and impact assessment under global warming 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C usually adopts multi-mode ensemble average ­methods 61 , 62 , which could obtain the warming response under the condition of instantaneous change, rather than the warming process under the stable state expected by the long-term goal. If we expect to obtain the accurate results, the model prediction test should be estimated to form proprietary sce- narios for global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C 63 , 64 , which could support for the impacts assessment on different sectors. Some institutions are carrying out climate change predictions under the lower emission scenarios (global warming 1.5 °C or 2.0 °C). At the same time, in order to achieve the goal of controlling temperature by 1.5 °C at the end of the twenty-first century, it is urgent to take actions to reduce emissions and develop along the track of low energy ­consumption 65 , 66 ; but it is a great challenge for human society to achieve this goal. Secondly, our methodological approach in this study also has some important limitations, including our use of a single crop model to estimate maize yields. There are some limitations for the DSSAT model to simulate yield loss caused by climate extreme ­events 67 , in which the impacts of pests and diseases are also ­ignored 68 . However, the DSSAT model has been applied in a lot of researches to simulate historical maize ­yield 69 - 71 , in which the results are reliable and ­credible 72 . The results of this research could be an important reference to the other studies which simulate global maize yield in the future, applying crop models such as APSIM, WOFOST, ORYZA and so on. Thirdly, there are relatively more researches on the prediction of climate change trend under the background of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C; but the research on the impact assessment of the main grain crops including global trade in worldwide is few. In the meantime, we do not assess the effect of future changes on agriculture, such as increases in farm productivity due to new technology.

There are huge differences among the continents; South America, Asia and the Middle East are threatened seriously by yield loss seriously under global warming by 1.5 °C. The changes in maize yield in different regions would influence the maize price and food trades. So, it should be cautious to cope with the maize changes under global warming by 1.5 °C. From the results of simulated by the NorESM1-M model under RCP 4.5 scenario, the gross yield of maize in the world between 2060 and 2079 would decrease by 18.7% relative to 1986- 2005. The area is 41.7% of the whole maize planting regions in the world, in which the yield loss would be less than 50%. The area is 15.6% of the whole maize planting regions, in which the yield loss would be more than 50%. The area is 42.7% of the whole maize planting regions, in which the yield would increase. The distribution of maize yield change is similar to that under global warming by 1.5 °C. From the results simulated by the GFDL-ESM2M model under RCP 6.0 scenario, the gross yield of maize in the world between 2065 and 2084 would decrease by 3% relative to 1986- 2005. Comparing to the results of the NorESM1-M model, the regions of high yield loss rate are increasing, and the regions of yield increases are going down; but the per unit area yields are increasing quickly in the regions of yield increasing. So, the gross maize yield in the whole world simulated by the GFDL-ESM2M model is more than the NorESM1-M model. In a comprehensive perspective, under global warming by 2.0 °C, maize yield in the whole world would decrease 10.8% relative to 1986- 2005 (Fig. 4 ). Compared to the results under global warming by 1.5 °C, the risk of yield loss is much higher. According to the new results from the Emission Gap Report in 2019, the target of global warming by 1.5 °C would not be implemented according to the reality of mitigation actions; the chance become much bigger for all countries in the world, who will be facing the severe challenge of global temperature rise of 2.0 °C or even higher (3.0 °C or 4.0 °C) in the future.

However, there would be increasing trends in Argentina and Mexico; the maize yield would increase by 16.8% in Argentina; the yield increasing rate would exceed 40% in Mexico. Overall, the gross maize yield in the top 5 countries would decrease by 11.4% under global warming by 2.0 °C. By comparing the maize production in different countries, it can be found that the reduction trend of total maize production in the top five countries is more obvious, especially under the scenario of global warming by 2.0 °C, the global food trade and food security may face greater risks. From the view of continents, there are different trends of maize yield changes in the 6 continents (except Ant- arctica) under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C (Fig. 6 ). From the results of simulated by CRESE-maize under global warming by 1.5 °C, the maize yield in 3 continents would decline apparently, including South America, Europe and Oceania; the average yield loss rates are respectively − 15.6%, − 12.4%, − 36.4%; in the other 3 con- tinents the average maize yield would go up, especially in Africa more than 30%; the increasing trends are slight in Asia and North America, in which the yield increasing rates are separately 0.7% and 0.4%. However, the yield change trends simulated by IPSL-CM5A-LR and GFDL-ESM2M models are different in 2 continents, including Asia and North America.

Comparing the two global warming scenarios, there would be apparent variations in maize yield in Asia and North America, in which the annual maize yield accounts for a great proportion of the whole world, leading to a much more serious yield loss under global warming by 2.0 °C than that under global warming by 1.5 °C. There would be an obvious crisis of food supply under global warming by 2.0 °C with the increasing population in the future.

In this paper, the future climate situations were selected and analyzed which are the approximate scenarios with global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C, based on the simulation results from 5 climate models recommended by ISI-MIP under 4 RCP scenarios. Then the per unit yield changes of maize all over the world under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C were analyzed and the spatial distributions of changes in maize yield were revealed relative to the baseline from 1985 to 2006, applying crop model DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer). Next, we examine the effects of the resulting maize production shocks in different countries; the market price of maize is simulated using GTAP to reveal the impacts of climate change on global crop trade. Finally, the future trend of maize yield and market price in the main breadbasket is assessed and the adaptation suggestions are put forward for maize cultivation.\n**Materials and methods Data processing.** In this study, historical daily weather data (1986- 2005) are from the AgMERRA dataset.

[88] But\nmost fallacies fall into the category of informal\nfallacies, of which a great variety is discussed in\nthe academic literature. The source of their error\nis usually found in the *content* or the *context* of\nthe argument. [89] Informal fallacies are\nsometimes categorized as fallacies of ambiguity,\nfallacies of presumption, or fallacies of\nrelevance. For fallacies of ambiguity, the\nambiguity and vagueness of natural language are\nresponsible for their flaw, as in \"feathers are light; what is light cannot be dark; therefore feathers cannot\nbe dark\". [90] Fallacies of presumption have a wrong or unjustified premise but may be valid otherwise. [91]\nIn the case of fallacies of relevance, the premises do not support the conclusion because they are not\nrelevant to it. [92]\nThe main focus of most logicians is to study the criteria according to which an argument is correct or\nincorrect. A fallacy is committed if these criteria are violated. In the case of formal logic, they are known\nas *rules of inference* . [93] They are definitory rules, which determine whether an inference is correct or\nwhich inferences are allowed. Definitory rules contrast with strategic rules. Strategic rules specify which\ninferential moves are necessary to reach a given conclusion based on a set of premises. This distinction\n[does not just apply to logic but also to games. In chess, for example, the definitory rules dictate that](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess)\n[bishops may only move diagonally.

In this sense, it includes\n[questions about the role of rationality, critical thinking, and the psychology of argumentation.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking) [34]\nAnother characterization identifies informal logic with the study of non-deductive arguments. In this way,\nit contrasts with deductive reasoning examined by formal logic. [35] Non-deductive arguments make their\n[conclusion probable but do not ensure that it is true.

An example is the\nargument from the premises \"it's Sunday\" and \"if it's Sunday then I don't have to work\" leading to the\nconclusion \"I don't have to work\". [1] [ Premises and conclusions express propositions or claims that can be](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposition)\ntrue or false. An important feature of propositions is their internal structure.

Simple propositions also have parts, like \"Sunday\" or \"work\" in the example. The truth of a](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_conditional)\nproposition usually depends on the meanings of all of its parts. However, this is not the case for logically\ntrue propositions. They are true only because of their logical structure independent of the specific\nmeanings of the individual parts.\nArguments can be either correct or incorrect. An argument is correct if its premises support its\n[conclusion. Deductive arguments have the strongest form of support: if their premises are true then their](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deductive_reasoning)\n[conclusion must also be true. This is not the case for ampliative arguments, which arrive at genuinely new](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampliative)\ninformation not found in the premises. Many arguments in everyday discourse and the sciences are\n[ampliative arguments. They are divided into inductive and abductive arguments. Inductive arguments are](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abductive_reasoning)\nstatistical generalization—such as inferring that all ravens are black, based on many individual\nobservations of black ravens.

In the case of a valid inference or a correct argument, the conclusion follows from the premises,\nor in other words, the premises support the conclusion. [41] For instance, the premises \"Mars is red\" and\n\"Mars is a planet\" support the conclusion \"Mars is a red planet\". For most types of logic, it is accepted\n[that premises and conclusions have to be truth-bearers.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth-bearer) [41][a] [ This means that they have a truth value: they](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_value)\nare either true or false.

[43] [ Propositions are the denotations of sentences and are usually seen as abstract objects.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_object) [44]\nFor example, the English sentence \"the tree is green\" is different from the German sentence \"der Baum ist\ngrün\" but both express the same proposition. [45]\nPropositional theories of premises and conclusions are often criticized because they rely on abstract\n[objects. For instance, philosophical naturalists usually reject the existence of abstract objects. Other](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalism_(philosophy))\narguments concern the challenges involved in specifying the identity criteria of propositions.

Besides these positive arguments leading one closer to victory, there are also\nnegative arguments preventing the opponent's victory by denying their conclusion. [144] Whether an\nargument is correct depends on whether it promotes the progress of the dialogue. Fallacies, on the other\nhand, are violations of the standards of proper argumentative rules. [146] These standards also depend on\nthe type of dialogue. For example, the standards governing the scientific discourse differ from the\nstandards in business negotiations. [147]\nThe *epistemic approach* to informal logic, on the other hand, focuses on the epistemic role of\narguments. [148] It is based on the idea that arguments aim to increase our knowledge. They achieve this\nby linking justified beliefs to beliefs that are not yet justified. [149] Correct arguments succeed at\nexpanding knowledge while fallacies are epistemic failures: they do not justify the belief in their\nconclusion. [150] [ For example, the fallacy of begging the question is a ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_begging_the_question) *fallacy* because it fails to provide\nindependent justification for its conclusion, even though it is deductively valid.

[11] For valid arguments, the logical structure of the premises and the conclusion\n[follows a pattern called a rule of inference.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_inference) [12] [ For example, modus ponens is a rule of inference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modus_ponens)\naccording to which all arguments of the form \"(1) *p* , (2) if *p* then *q* , (3) therefore *q* \" are valid, independent\nof what the terms *p* and *q* stand for.

Modern logic introduced novel concepts, such as functions,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics))\nquantifiers, and relational predicates. A hallmark of modern symbolic logic is its use of formal language\nto precisely codify its insights. In this regard, it departs from earlier logicians, who relied mainly on\nnatural language. [203] Of particular influence was the development of first-order logic, which is usually\ntreated as the standard system of modern logic. [204] Its analytical generality allowed the formalization of\n[mathematics and drove the investigation of set theory. It also made Alfred Tarski's approach to model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_theory)\n[theory possible and provided the foundation of modern mathematical logic.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_theory) [205]\n* **[Philosophy portal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Philosophy)** *", + "page_start": 17, + "page_end": 17, + "source_file": "wikipedia1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Logic\n\n## **Logic**\n\n### **Areas of research**\n\n#### **Formal semantics of natural language**\n\ndefinition: they just express the meanings of the logical vocabulary.

This is usually combined with](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical)\nthe claim that the laws of logic express universal regularities found in the structural features of the world.\n[According to this view, they may be explored by studying general patterns of the fundamental sciences.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_sciences)\n[For example, it has been argued that certain insights of quantum mechanics refute the principle of](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_distributivity)\n[distributivity in classical logic, which states that the formula ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_distributivity) is equivalent to\n[. This claim can be used as an empirical argument for the thesis that quantum logic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_logic)\nis the correct logical system and should replace classical logic. [179]\nLogic was developed independently in several cultures during antiquity. One major early contributor was\n[Aristotle, who developed ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle) *term logic* in his *[Organon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organon)* and *[Prior Analytics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_Analytics)* . [183] He was responsible for the\n[introduction of the hypothetical syllogism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical_syllogism) [184] and temporal modal logic. [185] Further innovations include\ninductive logic [186] [ as well as the discussion of new logical concepts such as terms, predicables,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicable)\nsyllogisms, and propositions. Aristotelian logic was highly regarded in classical and medieval times, both\nin Europe and the Middle East. It remained in wide use in the West until the early 19th century. [187] It has\nnow been superseded by later work, though many of its key insights are still present in modern systems of\nlogic.

[3] Arguments that fall short of the standards of correct\n[reasoning often embody fallacies. Systems of logic are theoretical frameworks for assessing the](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacies)\ncorrectness of arguments.\n[Logic has been studied since antiquity. Early approaches include Aristotelian logic, Stoic logic, Nyaya,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyaya)\n[and Mohism. Aristotelian logic focuses on reasoning in the form of syllogisms. It was considered the](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism)\nmain system of logic in the Western world until it was replaced by modern formal logic, which has its\n[roots in the work of late 19th-century mathematicians such as Gottlob Frege. Today, the most commonly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottlob_Frege)\n[used system is classical logic. It consists of propositional logic and first-order logic. Propositional logic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-order_logic)\nonly considers logical relations between full propositions. First-order logic also takes the internal parts of\n[propositions into account, like predicates and quantifiers. Extended logics accept the basic intuitions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantifier_(logic))\n[behind classical logic and apply it to other fields, such as metaphysics, ethics, and epistemology. Deviant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology)\nlogics, on the other hand, reject certain classical intuitions and provide alternative explanations of the\nbasic laws of logic.\nThe word \"logic\" originates from the Greek word *logos* , which has a variety of translations, such as\n[reason, discourse, or language.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language) [4] [ Logic is traditionally defined as the study of the laws of thought or](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thought)\n[correct reasoning,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_reasoning) [5] [ and is usually understood in terms of inferences or arguments. Reasoning is the](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument)\nactivity of drawing inferences. Arguments are the outward expression of inferences. [6] An argument is a\nset of premises together with a conclusion. Logic is interested in whether arguments are correct, i.e.\nwhether their premises support the conclusion. [7] These general characterizations apply to logic in the\n[widest sense, i.e., to both formal and informal logic since they are both concerned with assessing the](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informal_logic)\ncorrectness of arguments. [8] Formal logic is the traditionally dominant field, and some logicians restrict\nlogic to formal logic. [9]\n[Formal logic is also known as symbolic logic and is widely used in mathematical logic. It uses a formal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_system)\napproach to study reasoning: it replaces concrete expressions with abstract symbols to examine the\n[logical form of arguments independent of their concrete content. In this sense, it is topic-neutral since it is](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_form)\nonly concerned with the abstract structure of arguments and not with their concrete content.

[112] For\nexample, the proposition \"Socrates is not a cat\"\ninvolves the denial of the predicate \"cat\" to the\nsubject \"Socrates\". Using combinations of subjects\nand predicates, a great variety of propositions and\nsyllogisms can be formed. Syllogisms are\ncharacterized by the fact that the premises are linked\nto each other and to the conclusion by sharing one\npredicate in each case. [113] Thus, these three\npropositions contain three predicates, referred to as\n*major term* , *minor term* , and *middle term* . [114] The\ncentral aspect of Aristotelian logic involves\nclassifying all possible syllogisms into valid and\ninvalid arguments according to how the propositions\nare formed. [112][115] For example, the syllogism \"all\nmen are mortal; Socrates is a man; therefore Socrates is mortal\" is valid. The syllogism \"all cats are\nmortal; Socrates is mortal; therefore Socrates is a cat\", on the other hand, is invalid. [116]\n[Classical logic is distinct from traditional or Aristotelian logic. It encompasses propositional logic and](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_logic)\nfirst-order logic. It is \"classical\" in the sense that it is based on basic logical intuitions shared by most\nlogicians. [117] [ These intuitions include the law of excluded middle, the double negation elimination, the](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_negation_elimination)\n[principle of explosion, and the bivalence of truth.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion) [118] It was originally developed to analyze\nmathematical arguments and was only later applied to other fields as well.

They include metaphysical theses about](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics)\n[ontological categories and problems of scientific explanation. But in a more narrow sense, it is identical](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology)\n[to term logic or syllogistics. A syllogism is a form of argument involving three propositions: two](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism)\n[premises and a conclusion. Each proposition has three essential parts: a subject, a predicate, and a copula](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copula_(linguistics))\nconnecting the subject to the predicate. [107] For example, the proposition \"Socrates is wise\" is made up of\nthe subject \"Socrates\", the predicate \"wise\", and the copula \"is\". [108] The subject and the predicate are the\n*terms* of the proposition. Aristotelian logic does not contain complex propositions made up of simple\npropositions. It differs in this aspect from propositional logic, in which any two propositions can be\nlinked using a logical connective like \"and\" to form a new complex proposition. [109]\nIn Aristotelian logic, the subject can be *universal* ,\n*particular* , *indefinite* , or *singular* . For example, the\nterm \"all humans\" is a universal subject in the\nproposition \"all humans are mortal\". A similar\nproposition could be formed by replacing it with the\nparticular term \"some humans\", the indefinite term\n\"a human\", or the singular term \"Socrates\".

This means that it is impossible for the premises to be true and the\nconclusion to be false. [11] For valid arguments, the logical structure of the premises and the conclusion\n[follows a pattern called a rule of inference.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_inference) [12] [ For example, modus ponens is a rule of inference](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modus_ponens)\naccording to which all arguments of the form \"(1) *p* , (2) if *p* then *q* , (3) therefore *q* \" are valid, independent\nof what the terms *p* and *q* stand for. [13] In this sense, formal logic can be defined as the science of valid\n[inferences. An alternative definition sees logic as the study of logical truths.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_truth) [14] A proposition is logically\n[true if its truth depends only on the logical vocabulary used in it. This means that it is true in all possible](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possible_world)\n[worlds and under all interpretations of its non-logical terms, like the claim \"either it is raining, or it is](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretation_(logic))\nnot\". [15] These two definitions of formal logic are not identical, but they are closely related. For example,\nif the inference from *p* to *q* is deductively valid then the claim \"if *p* then *q* \" is a logical truth. [16]\n[Formal logic uses formal languages to express and analyze arguments.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_language) [17] They normally have a very\n[limited vocabulary and exact syntactic rules. These rules specify how their symbols can be combined to](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntax)\n[construct sentences, so-called well-formed formulas.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-formed_formula) [18] This simplicity and exactness of formal logic\nmake it capable of formulating precise rules of inference. They determine whether a given argument is\nvalid. [19] Because of the reliance on formal language, natural language arguments cannot be studied\n[directly. Instead, they need to be translated into formal language before their validity can be assessed.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_translation#Natural_language_formalization) [20]\nThe term \"logic\" can also be used in a slightly different sense as a countable noun.

This means that the conclusion of one argument acts\nas a premise of later arguments. For a complex argument to be successful, each link of the chain has to be\nsuccessful. [43]\nArguments and inferences are either\ncorrect or incorrect. If they are correct\nthen their premises support their\nconclusion. In the incorrect case, this\nsupport is missing. It can take\ndifferent forms corresponding to the\n[different types of reasoning.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_reasoning) [62] The\nstrongest form of support corresponds\n[to deductive reasoning. But even](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deductive_reasoning)\narguments that are not deductively\nvalid may still be good arguments\nbecause their premises offer non-\ndeductive support to their conclusions.\nFor such cases, the term *ampliative* or\n*inductive* *reasoning* is used. [63]\nDeductive arguments are associated\nwith formal logic in contrast to the\nrelation between ampliative arguments and informal logic. [64]\nA deductively valid argument is one whose premises guarantee the truth of its conclusion. [11] For\ninstance, the argument \"(1) all frogs are amphibians; (2) no cats are amphibians; (3) therefore no cats are\nfrogs\" is deductively valid. For deductive validity, it does not matter whether the premises or the\nconclusion are actually true. So the argument \"(1) all frogs are mammals; (2) no cats are mammals; (3)\ntherefore no cats are frogs\" is also valid because the conclusion follows necessarily from the premises.

Arguments that do not follow any rule of inference are\ndeductively invalid. [68] The modus ponens is a prominent rule of inference. It has the form \" *p* ; if *p* , then\n*q* ; therefore *q* \". [69] Knowing that it has just rained ( ) and that after rain the streets are wet ( ), one\ncan use modus ponens to deduce that the streets are wet ( ). [70]\nThe third feature can be expressed by stating that deductively valid inferences are truth-preserving: it is\nimpossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion to be false. [71] Because of this feature, it is often\nasserted that deductive inferences are uninformative since the conclusion cannot arrive at new\ninformation not already present in the premises. [72] But this point is not always accepted since it would\nmean, for example, that most of mathematics is uninformative. A different characterization distinguishes\n##### **Deductive**\nbetween surface and depth information. The surface information of a sentence is the information it\npresents explicitly. Depth information is the totality of the information contained in the sentence, both\nexplicitly and implicitly. According to this view, deductive inferences are uninformative on the depth\nlevel. But they can be highly informative on the surface level by making implicit information explicit.\nThis happens, for example, in mathematical proofs. [73]\nAmpliative arguments are arguments whose conclusions contain additional information not found in their\npremises. In this regard, they are more interesting since they contain information on the depth level and\nthe thinker may learn something genuinely new. But this feature comes with a certain cost: the premises\nsupport the conclusion in the sense that they make its truth more likely but they do not ensure its truth. [74]\nThis means that the conclusion of an ampliative argument may be false even though all its premises are\ntrue.

An example is the\nargument from the premises \"it's Sunday\" and \"if it's Sunday then I don't have to work\" leading to the\nconclusion \"I don't have to work\". [1] [ Premises and conclusions express propositions or claims that can be](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposition)\ntrue or false. An important feature of propositions is their internal structure. For example, complex\n[propositions are made up of simpler propositions linked by logical vocabulary like ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_connective) [ (and) or ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_conjunction)\n[(if...then). Simple propositions also have parts, like \"Sunday\" or \"work\" in the example. The truth of a](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_conditional)\nproposition usually depends on the meanings of all of its parts. However, this is not the case for logically\ntrue propositions. They are true only because of their logical structure independent of the specific\nmeanings of the individual parts.\nArguments can be either correct or incorrect. An argument is correct if its premises support its\n[conclusion. Deductive arguments have the strongest form of support: if their premises are true then their](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deductive_reasoning)\n[conclusion must also be true. This is not the case for ampliative arguments, which arrive at genuinely new](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampliative)\ninformation not found in the premises. Many arguments in everyday discourse and the sciences are\n[ampliative arguments. They are divided into inductive and abductive arguments. Inductive arguments are](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abductive_reasoning)\nstatistical generalization—such as inferring that all ravens are black, based on many individual\nobservations of black ravens.

[75]\nAmpliative reasoning plays a central role in many arguments found in everyday discourse and the\nsciences. Ampliative arguments are not automatically incorrect. Instead, they just follow different\nstandards of correctness. The support they provide for their conclusion usually comes in degrees. This\nmeans that strong ampliative arguments make their conclusion very likely while weak ones are less\ncertain. As a consequence, the line between correct and incorrect arguments is blurry in some cases, such\nas when the premises offer weak but non-negligible support. This contrasts with deductive arguments,\nwhich are either valid or invalid with nothing in-between. [76]\nThe terminology used to categorize ampliative arguments is inconsistent. Some authors, like James\n[Hawthorne, use the term \"induction\" to cover all forms of non-deductive arguments.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_reasoning) [77] But in a more\nnarrow sense, *induction* is only one type of ampliative argument alongside *[abductive arguments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abductive_reasoning)* . [78]\n[Some philosophers, like Leo Groarke, also allow ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Groarke) *conductive arguments* [b] as another type. [79] In this\nnarrow sense, induction is often defined as a form of statistical generalization. [80] In this case, the\npremises of an inductive argument are many individual observations that all show a certain pattern. The\nconclusion then is a general law that this pattern always obtains. [81] In this sense, one may infer that \"all\nelephants are gray\" based on one's past observations of the color of elephants. [78] A closely related form\nof inductive inference has as its conclusion not a general law but one more specific instance, as when it is\ninferred that an elephant one has not seen yet is also gray. [81] Some theorists, like Igor Douven, stipulate\nthat inductive inferences rest only on statistical considerations. This way, they can be distinguished from\nabductive inference. [78]\nAbductive inference may or may not take statistical observations into consideration.

Besides these positive arguments leading one closer to victory, there are also\nnegative arguments preventing the opponent's victory by denying their conclusion. [144] Whether an\nargument is correct depends on whether it promotes the progress of the dialogue. Fallacies, on the other\nhand, are violations of the standards of proper argumentative rules. [146] These standards also depend on\nthe type of dialogue. For example, the standards governing the scientific discourse differ from the\nstandards in business negotiations. [147]\nThe *epistemic approach* to informal logic, on the other hand, focuses on the epistemic role of\narguments. [148] It is based on the idea that arguments aim to increase our knowledge. They achieve this\nby linking justified beliefs to beliefs that are not yet justified. [149] Correct arguments succeed at\nexpanding knowledge while fallacies are epistemic failures: they do not justify the belief in their\nconclusion. [150] [ For example, the fallacy of begging the question is a ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_begging_the_question) *fallacy* because it fails to provide\nindependent justification for its conclusion, even though it is deductively valid. [151] In this sense, logical\nnormativity consists in epistemic success or rationality. [149] [ The Bayesian approach is one example of an](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_epistemology)\nepistemic approach.

For example, denying the antecedent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denying_the_antecedent)\nis one type of formal fallacy, as in \"if Othello is a\nbachelor, then he is male; Othello is not a\nbachelor; therefore Othello is not male\". [88] But\nmost fallacies fall into the category of informal\nfallacies, of which a great variety is discussed in\nthe academic literature. The source of their error\nis usually found in the *content* or the *context* of\nthe argument. [89] Informal fallacies are\nsometimes categorized as fallacies of ambiguity,\nfallacies of presumption, or fallacies of\nrelevance. For fallacies of ambiguity, the\nambiguity and vagueness of natural language are\nresponsible for their flaw, as in \"feathers are light; what is light cannot be dark; therefore feathers cannot\nbe dark\". [90] Fallacies of presumption have a wrong or unjustified premise but may be valid otherwise. [91]\nIn the case of fallacies of relevance, the premises do not support the conclusion because they are not\nrelevant to it. [92]\nThe main focus of most logicians is to study the criteria according to which an argument is correct or\nincorrect. A fallacy is committed if these criteria are violated. In the case of formal logic, they are known\nas *rules of inference* . [93] They are definitory rules, which determine whether an inference is correct or\nwhich inferences are allowed. Definitory rules contrast with strategic rules. Strategic rules specify which\ninferential moves are necessary to reach a given conclusion based on a set of premises. This distinction\n[does not just apply to logic but also to games. In chess, for example, the definitory rules dictate that](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess)\n[bishops may only move diagonally.

Methods and models\n\n### (a) Global climate simulations at 1.5 ° C and 2 ° C global warming\n\nThere are a number of ways in which 1.5°C or 2°C global warming can be defined—one could\nbe the long-term climate state following a stabilization of warming at that level, another could\nbe the state over a shorter period around the time of first reaching that level. Here we choose the\nsecond definition, which is what is seen first and hence needs to be adapted to. There are also\na number of methods with which such changes can be assessed [ 10 ]. We take the opportunity\nof availability of a new set of higher-resolutions transient climate and impacts simulations, and\nuse a time-sampling methodology [ 10 ] to assess global-scale impacts at these resolutions for the\nfirst time.\n**4** Rather than using the original CMIP5 ensemble as in previous studies, the aim is to allow for\nan improved representation of atmospheric and land surface processes including extremes by\nusing higher spatial resolution [ 11 ].\nHadGEM3 (Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 3) is a configuration of the UK\nMet Office Unified Model (MetUM) which has been developed for use for both climate research\nand weather prediction applications. It is the result of converging the development of the Met\nOffice’s weather and climate global atmospheric model components so that, where possible,\natmospheric processes are modelled or parametrized seamlessly across spatial resolutions and\ntimescales.\nThe high-resolution simulations were performed using the HadGEM3A Global Atmosphere\n(GA) 3.0 model [ 12 - 14 ] at a resolution of N216 (0.556° of latitude by 0.833° of longitude with\ngridboxes of approx. 60 km length in mid-latitudes). This is the atmospheric component of\nthe HadGEM3-GC2 coupled climate model [ 15 , 16 ], which is part of the HadGEM3 family of\nclimate models [ 12 ]. This represents the third generation of HadGEM configurations, leading\non from the HadGEM2 family of climate model configurations [ 13 ] which was used for CMIP5.\nKey improvements over the previous model, HadGEM2, include increased vertical levels in the\natmosphere (85 compared to 38) and substantial changes to the model dynamics (ENDGame) [ 17 ].\nThis version of the HadGEM3 model lies in the transition from CMIP5 to CMIP6 versions.

Provides seasonal scale projections.**\nBased on the established, peer-reviewed, ground-breaking method of UKCP09 for\nestimating uncertainty for use in risk-based analysis. Probabilistic projections will be\nupdated using an up-to-date collection of Met Office climate simulations and the latest\nIPCC-assessed simulations to estimate the model uncertainties, incorporate the latest\nobservations and estimate carbon cycle feedbacks. Projections will be on a 25 km grid for\nthe UK at monthly intervals for several emission scenarios, including one used in UKCP09 11 .\nThe new probabilistic projections will indicate the range of uncertainty in our knowledge\nof the climate system and natural variability through the 21st century, using probability\ndensity functions to provide information on how climate varies from month to month.

For the most spatially**\n**detailed downscaling this includes hourly data.

The 12 km model provides a downscaled\nproduct that is similar to UKCP09’s 25 km simulations but driven by an improved global\nmodel and at a higher resolution. This may be especially useful for those interested in\nwater availability and some aspects of agriculture. A key reason for providing this data is\nthat users will be able to compare it directly with EURO-CORDEX 13 .\nThe global projections will also be downscaled to 2.2 km using a process of nesting\nmodels at finer resolution that maintains the integrity of the representation of evolving\natmospheric processes. Key benefits of simulations at this resolution will be the\ninformation provided on high impact events such as localised heavy rainfall in summer and\npotential improvements in the diurnal cycle.\nThe output will be available at a time resolution of 3-hourly, possibly higher for some\noutput, for a high emission scenario.

This is the foundation of all the initiatives that we are proposing. Every action we take in social\npolicy comes under the umbrella of the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan that we presented\nin March 2021. The protection of workers’ health and safety, enshrined in the EU Treaties and in the\nCharter of Fundamental Rights, is one of the key elements of an EU economy that works for people. In\nparticular, the right to a healthy and safe workplace is reflected in principle 10 of the European Pillar of\nSocial Rights, and is fundamental for reaching the United Nations’ sustainable development goals. Our\ndetermined action to improve occupational safety and health and to consolidate a culture of prevention\nrepresents a substantial contribution to the objectives of the abovementioned Pillar.\nThe work of EU-OSHA is essential in this respect and this publication is a good example of the strong\ncommitment shown by EU governments - and also employer and trade union organisations - to\ncontinuously improve OSH in Europe.\n\nNicolas Schmit\n\n9", + "page_start": 7, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **6 OSH legislation and OSH infrastructure in the EU**\n\n### **6.3 Guidance and support**\n\nguidance documents, increasingly complemented by audio-visual and interactive tools.

Each article has 11 human-written\nsummaries and 16 machine-generated summaries\nannotated by 8 people with a score for coherence,\nconsistency, fluency, and relevance. We trans- lated it from English to French using DeepL API 6 .\nSince MTEB evaluation is based on the embedding\nsimilarity between machine-generated and human-\ngenerated summaries, we propose to compute the\nROUGE ( Lin , 2004 ) and BLEU ( Papineni et al. ,\n2002 ) metrics between machine and human sum-\nmaries for both French and English version. In Ta-\nble 2 , we report the average of the scores as well as\ntheir correlations between the two languages. The\ncorrelation is high (above 0.7), showing that the\nword and n-gram overlap between human and ma-\nchine summaries is highly preserved in the French\nversion. One may argue that computing the met-\nric on fully translated texts (human and machine\nsummaries are both translated from English) may\nintroduce biases and not assess the quality of the\ntranslations. For this purpose, we ensure the French\nhuman summaries are correctly translated from En-\nglish. We use an LLM as-a-judge ( Zheng et al. ,\n6 [https://www.deepl.com](https://www.deepl.com)\n3\n2023 ) where given the original human summary\nin English and its translation in French, the model\nrates the quality of the translation from 0 to 10 ,\nwith 0 being of very bad quality and 10 being ex-\ncellent. The prompt is available in Figure 8 . Ad-\nditionally, we manually check random translations\nwith ratings between 9 and 10 to ensure the rating\nis relevant. We do the same for all translations with a score less than 9 and correct them 7 (see the rating\ndistribution in Table 6 ).\n**Dataset BLEU ROUGE-1 ROUGE-2 ROUGE-L**\nSummEval 0.205 0.292 0.099 0.193\nSummEvalFr 0.276 0.302 0.117 0.194\nCorrelation En-Fr 0.70 0.85 0.80 0.84\nTable 2: Average ROUGE and BLUE scores computed\nbetween machine summaries and human summaries\nfor the original English SummEval and its translation\nto French.

This scenario is not easy to verify in quantitative data, although it is*\n*frequently stated in case study research.’*\nAlso, Eurofound draws such conclusions on the **impact of subcontracting on working conditions** :\n*‘First, employees in subcontracting perceive higher health and safety risks, notably through more work-*\n*related accidents and increased time pressure. Second, there are a number of psychological risk factors,*\n*such as perceived economic insecurity and worries about losing one’s job, that are more likely among*\n*subcontracting workers.’* 49\nThere is even an evident **relation between such forms of employment and higher rates of work**\n**accidents** .

Global enterprises,\nbusiness federations, NGOs and governments support supply chain promotion; often it is a part of fair-\ntrade agreements or actions. Approaches **promoting OSH at all workplaces** in these chains or\nnetworks can mitigate the negative impacts of the relocation of production and service processes with\nhigh OSH risks. Examples are certificates of business organisations, the Global Reporting Initiative topic\nStandard for Occupational Safety and Health, 319 and the UN Principles for Responsible Investment. 320\nAlso, national legislators are considering or discussing or have already agreed on supply chain\nlegislations. In 2022, the European Commission proposed a supply chain law, called ‘Corporate\nsustainability due diligence’, and the expectation is that *‘The new rules will ensure that businesses*\n*address adverse impacts of their actions, including in their value chains inside and outside Europe.’* 321\nAlready in 2017 the EU issued a directive on several ‘conflict minerals’ (tin, tantalum and tungsten, their\nores, and gold). Its functioning is described in the preamble as follows: *‘... supply chain due diligence is*\n*an ongoing, proactive and reactive process through which economic operators monitor and administer*\n*their purchases and sales with a view to ensuring that they do not contribute to conflict or the adverse*\n*impacts thereof.’* 322\n\n**Globalisation** does not only refer to products and services but also to workforce that is working in other\ncountries on the same or another continent, temporarily or seasonally, sometimes permanently. An\nexchange of workforce of a similar level of skills and employment conditions probably poses few risks\nregarding OSH.

Our diverse portfolio of businesses\nspans a wide range of markets, and this is one of the main reasons\nwe are weathering the downturn in the telecommunications sector.\nThe businesses we classify as Corning Technologies — led by our\nliquid-crystal display (LCD) glass, environmental, and semicon-\nductor optics operations — were strong and profitable in 2002,\nwith aggressive plans for significant growth during 2003.\nOur LCD glass business has been a star performer, posting\nyear-over-year volume gains of more than 45 percent. We are the\nleading producer in this market. Our sales of glass for desktop\nmonitors have doubled over the past year alone — and there’s still\nplenty of room for more growth, since only about a quarter of\ndesktop displays sold in 2002 were LCD. And, LCD TVs are\njust beginning to gain popularity — we consider this one of our\nnext big opportunities, as the number of LCD TVs sold annually\nmore than doubled in 2002.

We knew we were not — nor had we ever been — merely a\ntelecommunications company. Rather, we are a technology company, with the materials and process expertise to create\nlife-changing products. That’s what we’ve been for all of our 152 years; that’s what we’ll continue to be.\nAnd we knew something else ... that our Values, the historic strength of our company, were alive and well.

From there, we focused relentlessly on a\nvery clear plan with three priorities:\nI TO PRESERVE THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF THE COMPANY ;\nI TO RETURN TO PROFITABILITY IN 2003;\nI TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN OUR FUTURE .\nDuring the course of the year — with a recovery in the\ntelecommunications industry still nowhere in sight — we\nrestructured the company and dramatically lowered our cost\nstructure. Meanwhile, we focused our research and develop-\nment efforts and recommitted ourselves to building those\nbusinesses which presented the most attractive near-term\nopportunities for growth — a large part of which are outside\nthe telecommunications segment. Our diverse portfolio and\nwealth of skills across a wide variety of markets had never\nbeen more important.\nThe plan—painful though it is—is working.\n**P R E S E R V I N G O U R F I N A N C I A L H E A L T H**\nNow, let’s take a look at our financial picture.

Still, we have greatly improved our ability\nto forecast revenues and expenses quarter-to-quarter, and\nwe are encouraged by the near-term growth potential of\nour non-telecommunications businesses — especially our\nliquid-crystal display, environmental and semiconductor\nbusinesses. If these markets continue to grow as we expect,\nwe are confident that we will be able to meet our goals.\nWe know that our shareholders are most eager to see a\ngreater return on their investment with Corning, and of\ncourse our return to profitability will be key to building back\nWall Street’s confidence. We are 100 percent committed\nto reaching that goal of profitability in 2003— and doing\nso within the rigorous compliance rules by which we\nhave always been guided. Integrity characterizes all our\nrelationships, both inside and outside of Corning, and we\nwill never compromise that foundation of our reputation.\nIn our business operations during 2002 we invested\na great deal of energy aligning our cost structure and\nbusiness plans with our priority of restoring profitability.\nAfter massive restructuring — following restructuring\nefforts we launched in 2001—we feel we now have our\ncost structure and growth strategies in place to accomplish\nthis goal.\nWe have re-balanced the company to take advantage of\nour broad and diverse set of businesses. And in charting\nour strategies, we have focused on ensuring that both our\nsegments have solid business plans in place, enabling\nthem to grow. Our people are rigorously committed to\nexecuting against these plans.\nAs you saw earlier in this report, our Corning\nTechnologies businesses are in markets with solid growth\npotential. We have leading market positions in attractive\nbusinesses ... we are ready to capitalize on that position of\nstrength. Meanwhile, we are making these businesses\neven more cost-effective through significant manufactur-\ning efficiency gains.\nIn telecommunications, we are not planning on a market\nrecovery in 2003. We have aligned our cost structure to\nmeet current demand levels after two very tough years\nof ongoing restructuring.\nWithin the context of our financial realities, however, we\nhave not lost our sense of self.

We have the biggest share of the optical fiber market,\nby far, and continue to be the low-cost producer for anyone\nneeding to move information from place to place.

Losses in our\ntelecommunications segment and significant restructuring\nand impairment charges drove a net loss of $1.3 billion or\n$1.39 per share in 2002.\nDespite these lowered revenues and net loss, I take great\npride in saying that Corning continues to be a financially\nsound company. We developed a three-part plan for achieving\nthis goal: maintaining significant cash balances; using excess\ncash to reduce our debt; and continuing to have access to our\n$2 billion revolving line of credit. And we have achieved\nsignificant success in each of these areas.\nAlthough it has been a very painful process, we have dramat-\nically slowed the rate at which we are consuming cash and\nshort term investments. Much of this, regrettably, was through\na variety of plant closures and the elimination of about 7,100\njobs, in addition to the 12,000 jobs we eliminated last year.\nAs a result, a major drain on cash has been due to severance\npayments. Beyond severance, our actual cash usage for our\noperations has become very low. We have also added to our\ncash reserves through such actions as our preferred stock\noffering in July, and the sale of our Ohio-based precision lens\nbusiness to 3M late in the year. As a result of all these actions,\nwe were able to end the year with about $2.1 billion in cash\nand short-term investments.\nIn keeping with this strategy, we also continue to pay down\ndebt each quarter. Over the course of 2002 and the first month\nof this year, we repaid about $975 million in debt, including\ncommercial paper.\nWe haven’t touched our $2 billion in credit — and we don’t\nintend to. We maintain our access to this credit by keeping our\ndebt-to-capital ratio lower than 60 percent. Our ratio at year\nend was 46.7 percent, well within the compliance range in our\ncredit agreement. And as we execute on our plan to pay down\ndebt, that ratio will drop even further.\nAll that said, we are preserving what we believe is a strong\nliquidity position.

Still, we have greatly improved our ability\nto forecast revenues and expenses quarter-to-quarter, and\nwe are encouraged by the near-term growth potential of\nour non-telecommunications businesses — especially our\nliquid-crystal display, environmental and semiconductor\nbusinesses. If these markets continue to grow as we expect,\nwe are confident that we will be able to meet our goals.\nWe know that our shareholders are most eager to see a\ngreater return on their investment with Corning, and of\ncourse our return to profitability will be key to building back\nWall Street’s confidence. We are 100 percent committed\nto reaching that goal of profitability in 2003— and doing\nso within the rigorous compliance rules by which we\nhave always been guided. Integrity characterizes all our\nrelationships, both inside and outside of Corning, and we\nwill never compromise that foundation of our reputation.\nIn our business operations during 2002 we invested\na great deal of energy aligning our cost structure and\nbusiness plans with our priority of restoring profitability.\nAfter massive restructuring — following restructuring\nefforts we launched in 2001—we feel we now have our\ncost structure and growth strategies in place to accomplish\nthis goal.\nWe have re-balanced the company to take advantage of\nour broad and diverse set of businesses. And in charting\nour strategies, we have focused on ensuring that both our\nsegments have solid business plans in place, enabling\nthem to grow. Our people are rigorously committed to\nexecuting against these plans.\nAs you saw earlier in this report, our Corning\nTechnologies businesses are in markets with solid growth\npotential. We have leading market positions in attractive\nbusinesses ... we are ready to capitalize on that position of\nstrength. Meanwhile, we are making these businesses\neven more cost-effective through significant manufactur-\ning efficiency gains.\nIn telecommunications, we are not planning on a market\nrecovery in 2003. We have aligned our cost structure to\nmeet current demand levels after two very tough years\nof ongoing restructuring.\nWithin the context of our financial realities, however, we\nhave not lost our sense of self.

Losses in our\ntelecommunications segment and significant restructuring\nand impairment charges drove a net loss of $1.3 billion or\n$1.39 per share in 2002.\nDespite these lowered revenues and net loss, I take great\npride in saying that Corning continues to be a financially\nsound company. We developed a three-part plan for achieving\nthis goal: maintaining significant cash balances; using excess\ncash to reduce our debt; and continuing to have access to our\n$2 billion revolving line of credit. And we have achieved\nsignificant success in each of these areas.\nAlthough it has been a very painful process, we have dramat-\nically slowed the rate at which we are consuming cash and\nshort term investments. Much of this, regrettably, was through\na variety of plant closures and the elimination of about 7,100\njobs, in addition to the 12,000 jobs we eliminated last year.\nAs a result, a major drain on cash has been due to severance\npayments. Beyond severance, our actual cash usage for our\noperations has become very low. We have also added to our\ncash reserves through such actions as our preferred stock\noffering in July, and the sale of our Ohio-based precision lens\nbusiness to 3M late in the year. As a result of all these actions,\nwe were able to end the year with about $2.1 billion in cash\nand short-term investments.\nIn keeping with this strategy, we also continue to pay down\ndebt each quarter. Over the course of 2002 and the first month\nof this year, we repaid about $975 million in debt, including\ncommercial paper.\nWe haven’t touched our $2 billion in credit — and we don’t\nintend to. We maintain our access to this credit by keeping our\ndebt-to-capital ratio lower than 60 percent. Our ratio at year\nend was 46.7 percent, well within the compliance range in our\ncredit agreement. And as we execute on our plan to pay down\ndebt, that ratio will drop even further.\nAll that said, we are preserving what we believe is a strong\nliquidity position.

Our diverse portfolio of businesses\nspans a wide range of markets, and this is one of the main reasons\nwe are weathering the downturn in the telecommunications sector.\nThe businesses we classify as Corning Technologies — led by our\nliquid-crystal display (LCD) glass, environmental, and semicon-\nductor optics operations — were strong and profitable in 2002,\nwith aggressive plans for significant growth during 2003.\nOur LCD glass business has been a star performer, posting\nyear-over-year volume gains of more than 45 percent. We are the\nleading producer in this market. Our sales of glass for desktop\nmonitors have doubled over the past year alone — and there’s still\nplenty of room for more growth, since only about a quarter of\ndesktop displays sold in 2002 were LCD. And, LCD TVs are\njust beginning to gain popularity — we consider this one of our\nnext big opportunities, as the number of LCD TVs sold annually\nmore than doubled in 2002.

We are on track to reach that goal, and let me\nexplain a few of the reasons why.\nOur Technologies segment has had a strong year, and has set\naggressive goals for both sales and profit growth for 2003. The\ntime is right for these businesses to lead the way to our return\nto profitability — particularly our liquid-crystal display, envi-\nronmental and semiconductor optics businesses. These are\nstrong businesses which continue to set the standard for their\nmarkets and have plenty of growth potential. If the industries\nin which we participate expand as we expect, we have every\nconfidence these businesses will be able to meet their goals.\nWe are also well on our way toward getting our optical fiber\nand cable operations back to profitability as we reduce our\nfixed cost structure. In October, we announced plans to\nclose several of our fiber plants and to streamline our cable\n2001\nWORLDWIDE REVENUES\nC ORNING T ELECOMMUNICATIONS 74%\nC ORNING T ECHNOLOGIES 26%\n2\noperations throughout the world. These actions are key to\nreaching this goal of profitability. The optical fiber and cable\nbusiness remains challenging for the short term, but there is\nstill a great deal of long-term value to be realized in this\nbusiness. We believe our cost structure is coming in line with\nour current reduced revenue expectations.\nThe optical components market remains very weak and as\na result our photonic technologies business will need to take\nfurther action to reduce costs. In this challenging environment,\nwe have narrowed our product focus and continue to explore\nseveral strategic options.\nLastly, we are continuing to drive down costs in our adminis-\ntrative and staff functions by standardizing processes and\ncentralizing activities wherever possible.\nAnd as we reach that goal of profitability—as a smaller, more\nfocused, yet highly diverse and balanced company — we are\nconfident that you, our shareholders, will experience greater\nreturns on your investments.\n**I N V E S T I N G I N O U R F U T U R E**", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "NYSE_GLW_2002.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# B A L A N C E Corning Annual Report 20 02\n\n#### B A L A N C E Corning Annual Report 20 02\n\nI continue to be extremely excited about the future opportunities\nemerging from our 152-year legacy of scientific innovations.\nWe are concentrating our efforts on high-impact, near-term\ngrowth initiatives with emphasis on our liquid-crystal display,\ndiesel filter, and chemical processing projects.\nAnd we are certainly not giving up on optical communica-\ntions. We have the biggest share of the optical fiber market,\nby far, and continue to be the low-cost producer for anyone\nneeding to move information from place to place. So while\nwe’ve scaled back on production of fiber and other optical\nproducts, we certainly believe that they will continue to be\nan important part of our product mix again in the future. The\noptical communications industry is still in its infancy and we\nwill capitalize on our leadership position to grow both our\nearnings and return on shareholder equity.\nYes, we have trimmed our investment in research to a level\nappropriate with our lowered revenues. But we’re committed\nto research today even more than we have been in the past.\nWe are applying more than 10 percent of our revenues toward\nresearch. Some may question this high level of commitment in\nthese times ... but we simply will not back away from it. We\nhave more than 1,000 scientists and researchers in our\nlaboratories. They are at the heart of our innovation engine,\nand they’re going to stay that way!\nAnd in investing in our future, we are talking about more than\njust our scientific labs. We are continuing to invest in our\npeople—all 23,200 of them, in plants and offices throughout\nthe world — who are continuing to move us forward toward\nour goals.

Our diverse portfolio of businesses\nspans a wide range of markets, and this is one of the main reasons\nwe are weathering the downturn in the telecommunications sector.\nThe businesses we classify as Corning Technologies — led by our\nliquid-crystal display (LCD) glass, environmental, and semicon-\nductor optics operations — were strong and profitable in 2002,\nwith aggressive plans for significant growth during 2003.\nOur LCD glass business has been a star performer, posting\nyear-over-year volume gains of more than 45 percent. We are the\nleading producer in this market. Our sales of glass for desktop\nmonitors have doubled over the past year alone — and there’s still\nplenty of room for more growth, since only about a quarter of\ndesktop displays sold in 2002 were LCD. And, LCD TVs are\njust beginning to gain popularity — we consider this one of our\nnext big opportunities, as the number of LCD TVs sold annually\nmore than doubled in 2002.

Still, we have greatly improved our ability\nto forecast revenues and expenses quarter-to-quarter, and\nwe are encouraged by the near-term growth potential of\nour non-telecommunications businesses — especially our\nliquid-crystal display, environmental and semiconductor\nbusinesses. If these markets continue to grow as we expect,\nwe are confident that we will be able to meet our goals.\nWe know that our shareholders are most eager to see a\ngreater return on their investment with Corning, and of\ncourse our return to profitability will be key to building back\nWall Street’s confidence. We are 100 percent committed\nto reaching that goal of profitability in 2003— and doing\nso within the rigorous compliance rules by which we\nhave always been guided. Integrity characterizes all our\nrelationships, both inside and outside of Corning, and we\nwill never compromise that foundation of our reputation.\nIn our business operations during 2002 we invested\na great deal of energy aligning our cost structure and\nbusiness plans with our priority of restoring profitability.\nAfter massive restructuring — following restructuring\nefforts we launched in 2001—we feel we now have our\ncost structure and growth strategies in place to accomplish\nthis goal.\nWe have re-balanced the company to take advantage of\nour broad and diverse set of businesses. And in charting\nour strategies, we have focused on ensuring that both our\nsegments have solid business plans in place, enabling\nthem to grow. Our people are rigorously committed to\nexecuting against these plans.\nAs you saw earlier in this report, our Corning\nTechnologies businesses are in markets with solid growth\npotential. We have leading market positions in attractive\nbusinesses ... we are ready to capitalize on that position of\nstrength. Meanwhile, we are making these businesses\neven more cost-effective through significant manufactur-\ning efficiency gains.\nIn telecommunications, we are not planning on a market\nrecovery in 2003. We have aligned our cost structure to\nmeet current demand levels after two very tough years\nof ongoing restructuring.\nWithin the context of our financial realities, however, we\nhave not lost our sense of self.

RAS, monitoring, and troubleshooting\n\n### **13.7 Monitoring**\n\nAn important step is to correct any issues that are reported by your IBM Storwize V7000\nsystem as soon as possible. Configure your system to send automatic notifications to\nstandard Call Home server or to the new Cloud Call Home server when a new event is\nreported. To avoid having to monitor the management GUI for new events, select the type of\nevent for which you want to be notified. For example, restrict notifications to only events that\nrequire action. The following event notification mechanisms are available:\n� Call Home\nAn event notification can be sent to one or more email addresses. This mechanism notifies\nindividuals of problems. Individuals can receive notifications wherever they have email\naccess, including mobile devices.\n� Cloud Call Home\nCloud services for Call Home is the optimal transmission method for error data because it\nensures notifications are delivered directly to the IBM support center.\n� SNMP\nAn SNMP traps report can be sent to a data center management system, such as IBM\nSystems Director, that consolidates SNMP reports from multiple systems. With this\nmechanism, you can monitor your data center from a single workstation.\n� Syslog\nA syslog report can be sent to a data center management system that consolidates syslog\nreports from multiple systems. With this option, you can monitor your data center from a\nsingle location.\nIf your system is within warranty or if you have a hardware maintenance agreement, configure\nyour IBM Storwize V7000 system to send email events directly to IBM if an issue that requires\nhardware replacement is detected. This mechanism is known as *Call Home* . When this event\nis received, IBM automatically opens a problem report and, if appropriate, contacts you to\nhelp resolve the reported problem.\nCloud Call Home is specifically designed to work with new service teams and improves\nconnectivity and ultimately should improve customer support.", + "page_start": 731, + "page_end": 731, + "source_file": "sg247938.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# BASIC ENGLISH language skills\n\n## IMPROVE YOUR MARKS!\n\n###### CHAPTER 11:\n\ncover letter, and state your availability for an interview.\nClose\nThank the recipient for taking the time to read your letter, and sign off\nwith a professional greeting, such as “Yours sincerely” or “Kind regards”,\nfollowed by your full name, telephone number and e-mail address.\n###### CHAPTER 11:\nLANGUAGE SKILLS AT WORK HOW TO WRITE A RESIGNATION LETTER\nNo matter what the reason, resigning from your job is likely to be an\nuncomfortable experience.\nIf you are leaving for personal reasons (such as moving away, starting a\nfamily, or retiring), you may feel sad about leaving. But if you are leaving\nfor a better opportunity, or you’ve simply had enough of your current job,\nyou may be glad to be moving on.\nEither way, it’s always going to be in your best interests to leave on a\npositive note, and to resign in a professional manner.\nTHE PURPOSE OF A RESIGNATION LETTER:\nThe purpose of a resignation letter is to give your employer official no­\ntice that you will be leaving the organisation. However, it is usually ap­\npropriate to inform your manager of your intention to resign in person,\nand then to follow up your conversation with the formal resignation\nletter.\nWhat to include:\nYour resignation letter should be short and to the point. Keep it positive\nand professional - this is not the place to voice your dissatisfaction with\nyour job.\nIn your letter, you should make sure that you include the following:\n1.\nA clear statement of your intention to resign.\nExample:\n“Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from my\npost as Assistant IT Manager at XYZ.”\n2.\nReference to your notice period (where applicable), as well as your last\nworking day with the organisation.\nExample:\n“My last working day will be in two weeks’ time, on 31 August 2015.”\n\n3.\nYour reason for leaving.\nYou don’t need to elaborate on this if you don’t want to. Remember\nto keep it positive, and not to make any rude, offensive or insulting\nremarks about the organisation or your co- workers, no matter how\ntempting it might be.\nExample:\n“I have been offered an opportunity to work as an IT Manager abroad,\nand I have decided to accept the offer.”\n4.\nA sentence or two in which you thank your employer for the opportunities", + "page_start": 46, + "page_end": 49, + "source_file": "basic-english-language-skills.PDF" + }, + { + "text": "# Welcome to Microsoft Teams Set up Explore Practice\n\n### **Welcome to Microsoft Teams**\n\nMicrosoft Teams is the app that brings your conversations, meetings, and files together in one place.

The\nLambda runtime passes an *invocation event* and *context* to your Lambda function *handler* which\ndoes some work and produces a resulting event:\nThe *invocation event* contains data, as a JSON packet, which varies from service to service. For\nexample, API gateway events include path, HTTP method, query string parameters, headers,\ncookies, and more. DynamoDB events could contain updated or delete record data. S3 events\ninclude the bucket name and object key, among other things.\n*The context* contains information about the environment the function is running inside. Additional\ncontextual information can be set in familiar environment variables (ENV).\nThe function *handler* is a method in your function code that processes the inbound event. The\nhandler, which is a standard function in your language of choice, does some work and emits a *result*\n*event* .\nFundamentals\nAfter the handler finishes processing the first event, the runtime sends it another, and another.\nEach instance of your function could process thousands of requests.\nUnlike traditional servers, Lambda functions do not run constantly. When a function is triggered by\nan event, this is called an *invocation* . Lambda functions are limited to 15 minutes in duration, but\non average, across all AWS customers, most invocations last for less than a second.\nThere are many types of invocation events. Some examples:\n- HTTP request from API Gateway\n- Schedule managed by an EventBridge rule\n- Message from an IOT device\n- Notification that a file was uploaded to an S3 bucket\nEven the smallest Lambda-based application uses at least one event that invokes your function.", + "page_start": 53, + "page_end": 55, + "source_file": "serverless-core.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Developer Guide Serverless\n\n## **Getting started with serverless applications**\n\n### **Get started with Lambda**\n\n#### **Fundamentals**\n\nServerless solutions are based on *event-driven architecture,* or EDA, where services send and receive\n*events* , which represent an update or change in state.

There are two important things that define the scope of permissions\nin Lambda functions:\n- *resource policy* : Defines which events are authorized to invoke the function.\n- *execution role policy* : Limits what the Lambda function is authorized to do.\nUsing IAM roles to describe a Lambda function’s permissions, decouples security configuration\nfrom the code. This helps reduce the complexity of a lambda function, making it easier to maintain.\nA Lambda function’s resource and execution policy should be granted the minimum required\npermissions for the function to perform it’s task effectively.

The largest contributor to startup latency (often\nreferred to as cold start time) is the time that Lambda spends initializing the function, which\nincludes loading the function's code, starting the runtime, and initializing the function code.\nWith SnapStart, Lambda initializes your function when you publish a function version.

You can create and\nconfigure a function URL through the Lambda console or the Lambda API. When you create a\nfunction URL, Lambda automatically generates a unique URL endpoint for you. Once you create a\nfunction URL, its URL endpoint never changes. Function URL endpoints have the following format:\nhttps://.lambda-url..on.aws\nAfter you configure a function URL for your function, you can invoke your function through its\nHTTP(S) endpoint with a web browser, curl, Postman, or any HTTP client.\nRelated resources:\n- [ Function URLs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-urls.html) - official documentation", + "page_start": 62, + "page_end": 63, + "source_file": "serverless-core.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Developer Guide Serverless\n\n## **Getting started with serverless applications**\n\n### **Get started with Lambda**\n\n#### **Fundamentals**\n\n##### **How Lambda invokes your function (runtime environment)**\nLambda invokes your function in an *execution environment* , which contains a secure and isolated\n*runtime environment* .\n- A *runtime* provides a language-specific environment which relays invocation events, context\ninformation, and responses between the Lambda and your functions.\n- An *execution environment* manages the processes and resources that are required to run the\nfunction.\nFundamentals\nYou can use runtimes that Lambda provides for JavaScript (Node.js), TypeScript, Python, Java,\nPython, Go, C#, and PowerShell, or you can build your own custom runtime environment inside of a\ncontainer.\nIf you package your code as a .zip file archive, you must configure your function to use a runtime\nthat matches your programming language. For a container image, you include the runtime when\nyou build the image.\n##### **How to process events with a Lambda handler**\nConceptually, there are only three steps to processing events with Lambda:\n1. Configure the entry point to your function, known as the *handler* , and deploy the function.\n2. Lambda service initializes the function, then it invokes the *handler* with an invocation event and\ncontext.\n3. Your handler function processes the event and returns a response event.\nSubsequent events will invoke the handler again, without the initialization delay. During this cycle,\nthe function stays in memory, so clients and variables declared outside of the handler method can\nbe reused.\nAfter a period of time, Lambda will eventually tear down the runtime. This can happen for a variety\nof reasons; some examples: scaling down to conserve resources, updating the function, updating\nthe runtime.\nThe function **handler** is the essential component of your function code. As noted previously, the\nhandler is the entry point, but it may not be the only function in your code. In fact, a best practice\nis keeping the handler sparse and doing the actual processing in other functions in your code.\nHere are some example **handlers** :\nPython", + "page_start": 55, + "page_end": 56, + "source_file": "serverless-core.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Developer Guide Serverless\n\n## **Focusing on core serverless services**\n\n### **Typical microservice example**\n\nConsider the following scenario: you want to build a microservices application that looks up\nweather data by zip code and returns JSON data.\nWhat serverless services would you use, and how?\nThe solution starts with the client resolving the hostname through Route 53 DNS. The browser's\nHTTPS GET request routes to API Gateway. If the URL is valid, API Gateway verifies access an access\ntoken, commonly implemented as a [JWT token](https://jwt.io/introduction) JWT token with Amazon Cognito, then creates an\nevent for the request and sends it to a serverless Lambda function for processing.\nThe Lambda function receives the event and a *context* object with additional information related to\nthe environment as inputs to a designated *handler* method. The handler method in this case, uses\nan SDK to send a query to DynamoDB for weather data for the given zip code. The function may\nfilter and customize the data based on the location and preferences of the user, perhaps converting\ndegrees in Celsius to Fahrenheit.\nBefore returning the data, bundled into a new event, back to API Gateway, the function handler\nmight create additional events. It might send one to an SQS queue, where a data analytics service\nDeveloper tools and code instrumentation\ncould be listening. The handler function might create and send another event to an SNS queue so\nthat alerts for high temperature are sent to users through SMS messages.\nThe function finally wraps up the JSON weather data into a new event and sends it back to API\ngateway. Afterward, the function continues to handle hundreds of additional requests. Request\nfrom users slow down after 2AM, so after some time the Lambda service will tear down the\nfunction execution environment to conserve resources.

Consider how each service will do one thing well, with as few dependencies as\npossible.\nYou may have created microservices before, but it was probably inside a traditional framework.\nImagine if your microservice existed, but without the framework. For that to happen, services need\na way to get input, communicate with other services, and send outputs or errors.\nThe key to serverless apps is *event-driven architecture.*\nEvent-driven architecture (EDA) is a modern architecture pattern built from small, decoupled\nservices that publish, consume, or route *events.* Events are messages sent between services. This\narchitecture makes it easier to scale, update, and independently deploy separate components of a\nsystem.\nThe following diagram shows an event-driven serverless microservice. A client request is converted\nby an API Gateway into an event that is sent to a Lambda compute service. A Lambda function\nretrieves info from a DynamoDB data store. That data is returned in an event to API Gateway, which\nsends a response to the client with all the appropriate headers, cookies, and security tokens.\nServerless development on AWS\nMany traditional systems are designed to run periodically and process batches of transactions that\nhave built up over time. For example, a banking application may run every hour to process ATM\ntransactions into central ledgers. In Lambda-based applications, the custom processing should be\ntriggered by every event, allowing the service to scale up concurrency as needed, to provide near-\nreal time processing of transactions.\nWhile you can run cron tasks in serverless applications by using Amazon EventBridge Scheduler,\nconsider the size of each batch of data that your event sends to Lambda. In this scenario, there\nis potential for the volume of transactions to grow beyond what can be processed within the 15-\nminute Lambda timeout. If the limitations of external systems force you to use a scheduler, you\nshould generally schedule for the shortest reasonable recurring time period.\nFor example, it’s not best practice to use a batch process that triggers a Lambda function to fetch\na list of new Amazon S3 objects. This is because the service might receive more new objects in\nbetween batches than can be processed within a 15-minute Lambda function.\nServerless development on AWS", + "page_start": 23, + "page_end": 24, + "source_file": "serverless-core.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Developer Guide Serverless\n\n## **What is serverless development?**\n\ncompute functions.

The other path includes practical steps to\nbuild a application while introducing development workflow activities such as how to create and\nFundamentals\ndeploy functions, invoke and test, update and package, and monitor the logs and troubleshoot\nerrors.\n**Programming Model**\n- Event plus Context and Environment variables (ENV) are inputs to a Handler function\n- ENV variables\n- Runtime environment\n**Create & Deploy**\n- Management Console\n- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - AWS CloudFormation (CFN), AWS SAM (SAM), AWS Cloud\nDevelopment Kit (AWS CDK)\n- [ Deploy .zip file archives](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/nodejs-package.html) — when you need additional libraries, or compiled languages.\n- [ Versions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-versions.html) - by publishing a version of your function, you can store your code and configuration as\nseparate stable resources\n**Invoke/Test**\n- Synchronous invocation\n- Testing locally and in the cloud with the help of AWS SAM templates and AWS SAM CLI\n**Update / Package**\n- Updating code and dependencies\n- Packaging with the help of AWS SAM templates and AWS SAM CLI\n**Monitor**", + "page_start": 51, + "page_end": 53, + "source_file": "serverless-core.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Developer Guide Serverless\n\n## **Getting started with serverless applications**\n\n### **Get started with Lambda**\n\n#### **Fundamentals**\n\n##### **Programming Model**\n\n- Logs in CloudWatch\n- Errors and tracing in X-Ray\n- Metrics\n**Secure**\n- Execution role\nFundamentals\n- Policies that grant least privilege to your functions\n**Workshop - Intro to Serverless** - Before diving too deep, you can choose to try out serverless in\na workshop or tutorial.

The\nLambda runtime passes an *invocation event* and *context* to your Lambda function *handler* which\ndoes some work and produces a resulting event:\nThe *invocation event* contains data, as a JSON packet, which varies from service to service. For\nexample, API gateway events include path, HTTP method, query string parameters, headers,\ncookies, and more. DynamoDB events could contain updated or delete record data. S3 events\ninclude the bucket name and object key, among other things.\n*The context* contains information about the environment the function is running inside. Additional\ncontextual information can be set in familiar environment variables (ENV).\nThe function *handler* is a method in your function code that processes the inbound event. The\nhandler, which is a standard function in your language of choice, does some work and emits a *result*\n*event* .\nFundamentals\nAfter the handler finishes processing the first event, the runtime sends it another, and another.\nEach instance of your function could process thousands of requests.\nUnlike traditional servers, Lambda functions do not run constantly. When a function is triggered by\nan event, this is called an *invocation* . Lambda functions are limited to 15 minutes in duration, but\non average, across all AWS customers, most invocations last for less than a second.\nThere are many types of invocation events. Some examples:\n- HTTP request from API Gateway\n- Schedule managed by an EventBridge rule\n- Message from an IOT device\n- Notification that a file was uploaded to an S3 bucket\nEven the smallest Lambda-based application uses at least one event that invokes your function.", + "page_start": 53, + "page_end": 55, + "source_file": "serverless-core.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Example handler method in Java\n\n#### **Advanced Topics**\n\n##### **Launch functions faster with SnapStart**\n\nCustom containers are one way you might experiment with lift and shift of existing code to\nLambda runtimes. If you do this, consider the architectural differences between always running\ncontainers, versus on demand nature of Lambda functions.\nRelated resource:\n- [ Deploy container images](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/nodejs-image.html)\n##### **Add code with Layers**\nA Lambda *layer* is a .zip file archive that can contain additional code or other content. A layer can\ncontain libraries, a [custom runtime](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/runtimes-custom.html) , data, or configuration files. Layers are also necessary if your\nfunction .zip archive exceeds the size limit.\nLayers provide a convenient way to package libraries and other dependencies that you can use with\nyour Lambda functions. Using layers reduces the size of uploaded deployment archives and makes\nit faster to deploy your code. Layers also promote code sharing and separation of responsibilities so\nthat you can iterate faster on writing business logic.\nRelated resource:\n- [ Creating and sharing Lambda layers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-layers.html)\n##### **Extensions**\nYou can use Lambda extensions to augment your Lambda functions. For example, use Lambda\nExtensions to integrate with your preferred monitoring, observability, security, and governance\ntools.\nLambda supports internal or external extensions. An internal extension runs as part of the runtime\nprocess. An external extension runs as an independent process in the execution environment and\ncontinues to run after the function invocation is fully processed.\nAdvanced Topics\nRelated resources:\n- [ Datadog Lambda Extension](https://docs.datadoghq.com/serverless/libraries_integrations/extension/) - an extension that supports submitting custom metrics, traces, and\nlogs asynchronously while your Lambda function executes.\n- [ Lambda Extensions - official documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-extensions.html)\n##### **Launch functions faster with SnapStart**\nLambda SnapStart for Java can improve startup performance by up to 10x at no extra cost,", + "page_start": 61, + "page_end": 62, + "source_file": "serverless-core.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Example handler method in Java\n\n#### **Advanced Topics**\n\ntypically with no changes to your function code.

For a container image, you include the runtime when\nyou build the image.\n##### **How to process events with a Lambda handler**\nConceptually, there are only three steps to processing events with Lambda:\n1. Configure the entry point to your function, known as the *handler* , and deploy the function.\n2. Lambda service initializes the function, then it invokes the *handler* with an invocation event and\ncontext.\n3. Your handler function processes the event and returns a response event.\nSubsequent events will invoke the handler again, without the initialization delay. During this cycle,\nthe function stays in memory, so clients and variables declared outside of the handler method can\nbe reused.\nAfter a period of time, Lambda will eventually tear down the runtime. This can happen for a variety\nof reasons; some examples: scaling down to conserve resources, updating the function, updating\nthe runtime.\nThe function **handler** is the essential component of your function code. As noted previously, the\nhandler is the entry point, but it may not be the only function in your code. In fact, a best practice\nis keeping the handler sparse and doing the actual processing in other functions in your code.\nHere are some example **handlers** :\nPython", + "page_start": 55, + "page_end": 56, + "source_file": "serverless-core.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#AdditionalData(0->63)=00000000460000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\n\n### **13.9 Collecting support information by using the GUI and CLI**\n\n#### **13.9.2 Collecting logs using the CLI**\n\nThe CLI can be used to collect and upload a support package as requested by IBM Support\nby performing the following steps:\n1. Log in to the CLI and issue the **svc_snap** command that matches the type of snap\nrequested by IBM Support:\n- Standard logs (type 1):\nsvc_snap upload pmr=ppppp,bbb,ccc gui1\n- Standard logs plus one existing statesave (type 2):\nsvc_snap upload pmr=ppppp,bbb,ccc gui2\n- Standard logs plus most recent statesave from each node (type 3):\nsvc_snap upload pmr=ppppp,bbb,ccc gui3\n- Standard logs plus new statesaves:\nsvc_livedump -nodes all -yes\nsvc_snap upload pmr=ppppp,bbb,ccc gui3\nChapter 13.

We collect the type 3 (option 3) and have it automatically uploaded to the PMR number\nthat is provided by IBM Support, as shown in Example 13-6.\n*Example 13-6 The svc_snap command*\nssh superuser@9.173.156.250\nPassword:\nIBM_Storwize:ITSO-V7k:superuser> **svc_snap upload pmr=12345,000,866 gui3**\n3. If you do not want to automatically upload the snap to IBM, do not specify the **upload**\n**pmr=ppppp,bbb,ccc** part of the commands. When the snap creation completes, it creates a\nfile named that uses the following format:\n/dumps/snap..YYMMDD.hhmmss.tgz\nIt takes a few minutes for the snap file to complete (longer if statesaves are included).\n4.

This statesave is critical\nfor IBM Support to analyze what occurred. Collecting a snap type 4 creates statesaves\nat the time of the collection, which is not useful for understanding the restart event.\nChapter 13. RAS, monitoring, and troubleshooting\n3. The Upload Support Package window provides four options for data collection. If you were\ncontacted by IBM Support because your system called home or you manually opened a\ncall with IBM Support, you receive a *PMR number* . Enter that PMR number into the **PMR**\nfield and select the snap type (often referred to as an *option 1, 2, 3, 4 snap* ) as requested\nby IBM Support (see Figure 13-69).

For the first time in our history, revenues exceeded $100 million, reaching a total of $105.9 million for the year. While revenues increased by $12.9 million, our operating expenses only increased by $3.6 million, resulting in a $9.3 million improvement in operating income which reached $18.6 million. Helped by the one-time gain from the sale of our cellular partnership interest, our net income was a record $32.1 million. Our net income from continuing operations, which excludes the cellular impact, reached $9.8 million.\nWhile the last few years have not been kind to many companies in the telecommunications industry, your Company has not just survived, it has thrived. In addition to the operating results, our balance sheet became even stronger. Total debt was again reduced, decreasing by $12.2 million to $43.3 million as of the end of the year. At the same time, our cash and equivalents at the end of the year was $28.7 million, while total assets were $185.4 million. With our total long-term debt equaling only 23.4 percent of total assets, your Company's balance sheet is envied in an industry where many companies have encountered problems just meeting their debt obligations, much less being able to invest in their future.\nAs previously announced, the Company completed the sale of our cellular partnership interest on February 28, 2003. While our participation in cellular, a subset of the wireless industry, had been very profitable, competitive pressures in the wireless industry were having an increasing impact. We had already lost half of our customers, and growth in revenues and profits had begun to slow. Exiting the cellular segment through the sale allows the Company to focus on our significantly larger digital PCS operation. It also made available a large source of cash to finance our other operating needs and future growth opportunities.\nOur wireless priorities are now focused on improving results within our PCS operation. After many years of multiple- million dollar losses, our PCS business produced a slight profit in 2003. While many non-recurring factors contributed to this small profit, the basic operating results within this subsidiary showed significant improvement during 2003. PCS revenues grew 20.8 percent to a total of $67.0 million. Operating income in this subsidiary was $2.9 million, an $8.2 million change from the previous year's loss.

Major Customers**\nThe Company has one major customer and relationship that is a significant source of revenue. In 2003, as during the past number of years, the Company's relationship with Sprint continued to increase, due to growth in the PCS business segment. Approximately 61.2% of total revenues in 2003 were generated by or through Sprint and its customers using the Company's portion of Sprint’s nationwide PCS network. This was compared to 57.6% in 2002, and 47.1% of total revenue in 2001.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)**\n* **Materials and supplies:** * New and reusable materials are carried in inventory at the lower of average cost or market value. Inventory held for sale, such as telephones and accessories, are carried at the lower of average cost or market value. Non-reusable material is carried at estimated salvage value.\n* **Property, plant and equipment:** * Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. The Company capitalizes all costs associated with the purchase, deployment and installation of property, plant and equipment, including interest on major capital projects during the period of their construction. Expenditures, including those on leased assets, which extend the useful life or increase its utility, are capitalized. Maintenance expense is recognized when repairs are performed. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense for continuing operations was approximately 8.7%, 8.6% and 8.3% of average depreciable assets for the years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Depreciation lives are assigned to assets based on their estimated useful lives in conjunction with industry and regulatory guidelines, where applicable. Such lives, while similar, may exceed the lives that would have been used if the Company did not operate certain segments of the business in a regulated environment. The Company takes technology changes into consideration as it assigns the estimated useful lives, and monitors the remaining useful lives of asset groups to reasonably match the remaining economic life with the useful life and makes adjustments when necessary.\nIn June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset, which is depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 143 was the recording of a capitalized asset retirement obligation of $158 thousand, the related accumulated depreciation of $32 thousand, the present value of the future removal obligation of $249 thousand, and the cumulative effect of the accounting change of $76 thousand after taxes recorded on the consolidated statements of income.", + "page_start": 19, + "page_end": 20, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "## **2003**\n\n#### **SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**\n\n##### **Note 3.

Additionally, the Company sold 130,000 shares of Illuminet Holdings, Inc. (Illuminet) for proceeds of $5.3 million and a realized gain of $5.0 million. In September 2001, Illuminet notified the Company that VeriSign, Inc. (VeriSign) made an offer to acquire Illuminet. The Company received VeriSign stock valued at $13.2 million, for the Illuminet investment, and based on the fair value of the new asset received, recorded a realized gain of $12.7 million in 2001 on the transaction through net gain on investments in the other income (expense) section of the income statement.

The Company’s average debt outstanding decreased approximately $4.8 million. Long-term debt (inclusive of current maturities), was $43.3 million at year-end 2003, versus $52.0 million at year-end 2002. The Company did not borrow any money on its revolving facilities in 2003.\nNet losses on investments were $0.4 million, compared to a loss of $10.1 million from 2002. Results in 2002 include the sale of the VeriSign, Inc. stock for a loss of $9.0 million. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.\nNon-operating income was a gain of $0.4 million, an increase of $0.5 million, due to an increase in patronage equity earned from CoBank, the Company’s primary lender, and due to interest income from the proceeds on the sale of the Virginia 10 RSA Limited partnership, offset by losses recorded for the Company’s portfolio of investments.\nThe Company provided for income taxes of $5.3 million in 2003, which is an effective tax rate of 35.2% due to the effect of state tax apportionment rules and reduction in the liability for tax exposures. On a normalized basis the Company would have recorded taxes at an effective tax rate of approximately 39%. Last year’s effective tax rate was 42.2% due to the impact of net operating loss carry forwards generated in several states with higher tax rates. The Company currently operates in four states. Due to apportionment rules and geographic operations of subsidiaries where the Company’s profits and losses arise, the Company is generating profits in states with lower tax rates, while generating losses in states with higher tax rates. The Company cautions readers that the current effective tax rate may not be the same rate at which tax benefits or tax expenses are recorded in the future. The Company’s state apportionments, profits and losses and state tax rates may change, therefore changing the effective rate at which taxes are provided for or at which tax benefits accrue.

Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.\n*Investments Carried at Cost:* Investments in common stock in which the Company does not have a significant ownership (less than 20%) and for which there is no ready market, are carried at cost. Information regarding investments carried at cost is reviewed continuously for evidence of impairment in value. Impairments are charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the investment is established.\n*Equity Method Investments* : Investments in partnerships and unconsolidated corporations where the Company's ownership is 20% or more, or where the Company otherwise has the ability to exercise significant influence, are reported under the equity method. Under this method, the Company's equity in earnings or losses of investees is reflected in earnings. Distributions received reduce the carrying value of these investments. The Company recognizes a loss when there is a decline in value of the investment which is other than a temporary decline.\n19 ■ 2003 ANNUAL REPORT", + "page_start": 20, + "page_end": 20, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "## **2003 Financial Statements**\n\n### **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT**\n\n#### **Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001** *in thousands, except per share amounts*\nSee accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.\n-\n- -\n- - -\n-\nSHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY ■ 16", + "page_start": 16, + "page_end": 17, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "## **2003**\n\n#### **SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**\n\n##### **Note 10.

Major Customers**\nThe Company has one major customer and relationship that is a significant source of revenue. In 2003, as during the past number of years, the Company's relationship with Sprint continued to increase, due to growth in the PCS business segment. Approximately 61.2% of total revenues in 2003 were generated by or through Sprint and its customers using the Company's portion of Sprint’s nationwide PCS network. This was compared to 57.6% in 2002, and 47.1% of total revenue in 2001. No other customer relationship on a stand-alone basis generates more than 2.5% of the Company’s total revenue for 2003, 2002 and 2001.\n$\n$\n$\nSHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY ■ 34", + "page_start": 34, + "page_end": 35, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf", + "query": "What was the main reason of the decrease of customer base of the Shenandoah and Virginia 10 RSA partnership ?", + "target_page": 51, + "target_passage": "he decline was the result of competition with digital technologies and increased competition from national carriers in the area", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": true, + "index": 0 + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "## **2002 compared to 2001**\n\n##### **CONTINUING OPERATIONS**\nThe Company invested $2.0 million in the Virginia 10 RSA limited partnership in the early 1990’s. The partnership’s local customer base peaked in early 2000 with nearly 12,000 subscribers, then steadily declined to 6,700 by December 31, 2002. The decline was the result of competition with digital technologies and increased competition from national carriers in the area. As a result of the decline in the subscriber base, and the need for extensive capital expenditures to transform the analog network into a digital cellular network, the Company elected to sell its 66% interest in the partnership to one of the minority partners. The agreement was signed in November 2002, and closing was February 28, 2003.

The program was initially targeted at customers in sub-prime credit classes and did not require a deposit upon activation of service. As a result of default rates that exceeded projections, the Company experienced a substantial increase in bad debt expense, which rose from $1.2 million in 2001 to $4.4 million in 2002. The reinstatement of deposit requirements in April 2002 caused some moderation in bad debt expense by the end of the year.

The total proceeds received were $38.7 million, including $5.0 million held in escrow, and a $1.7 million adjustment for estimated working capital at the time of closing. There was a post closing adjustment based on the actual working capital balance as of the closing date, which resulted in a $39 thousand charge for the Company. The $5.0 million escrow was established for any contingencies and indemnification issues that may arise during the two-year post-closing period and is included in deferred charges and other assets in the 2003 consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s gain on the transaction was approximately $35 million. Post closing, the Company provided transition services to Verizon for a period of approximately three months, with compensation for those services being approximately $40 thousand per month during the transition period.\nThe assets and liabilities attributable to the cellular operation have been classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets and consist of the following at December 31, 2002 and 2001:", + "page_start": 24, + "page_end": 24, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "## **3,070**\n\n#### **SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**\n\n##### **Significant Transactions**\n\nThis annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions, or strategies regarding the future.

The largest was the sale of its 66% interest in the Virginia 10 RSA cellular operation, as described above. The Company originally entered into the agreement with Verizon Wireless in November 2002. The Company was the general partner of the limited partnership which operated an analog cellular network in the six-county area of Northwestern Virginia, including Clarke, Frederick, Page, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, and Warren counties, and the city of Winchester. The sales price was $37.0 million plus the Company’s 66% share of the partnership’s working capital, which was approximately $1.7 million. The Company was required to do a working capital true up following the closing, from which the Company recorded a charge for $23 thousand after taxes. In the fourth quarter the Company recorded an additional charge for taxes of $0.2 million to reflect the consolidated effective tax rate based on the final operating results for the year.\nThe wireless industry in the late 1990’s became increasingly competitive and the Company was not immune to these industry issues. The Clear Pay SM program, introduced by Sprint as a no-deposit offering in 2001, attracted high credit risk customers in the Company’s markets. As the results began to materialize, the Company implemented deposits on this program (mid-April 2002), and experienced high levels of customer turnover (churn) and uncollectable accounts. The write-offs of uncollectable accounts peaked in the third quarter of 2002. During the fourth quarter of 2002 there was some evidence that the strengthened credit policy was having a favorable impact. Nonetheless, the 2002 net loss in the PCS operation was $5.4 million, as compared to $5.5 million in 2001. Despite the disappointing financial results for 2002, the PCS customer base grew by over 40%. While the PCS operation was adding customers, the cellular operation continued to lose its local customer base.", + "page_start": 40, + "page_end": 41, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "## **2002 compared to 2001**\n\n##### **DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS**\n\nWithin other revenues, Internet and 511Virginia contract revenues from the Virginia Department of Transportation, were $5.1 million in 2002, an increase of $1.2 million or 30.4%. The Company had 18,050 dial-up Internet subscribers at December 31, 2002, compared to 17,423 subscribers at the end of 2001. Total Internet service revenue was $4.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million or 15.7%. Services provided under the 511Virginia contract contributed $0.9 million to other revenues, an increase of $0.6 million. Telecommunications equipment sales, services and lease revenues were $1.2 million, a nominal increase over 2001 results.\nWireline revenues from cable television services were $4.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 14.5%. In December 2001, the Company increased its basic service charge by $6.00 per month, which produced $0.3 million of the increase in cable television revenue. The remaining $0.2 million was generated by an increased penetration of digital services and increased pay per view sales.\nBilling and collection services contributed $0.4 million to wireline revenues, which was the same as 2001 results. Revenues from this service had declined in recent years, with interexchange carriers now issuing a greater proportion of their bills directly to their customers.\nFacility lease revenue contributed $5.7 million to wireline revenues, a decrease of $0.8 million or 12.6% from 2001.

Long-term debt (inclusive of current maturities), was $43.3 million at year-end 2003, versus $52.0 million at year-end 2002. The Company did not borrow any money on its revolving facilities in 2003.\nNet losses on investments were $0.4 million, compared to a loss of $10.1 million from 2002.

See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.\nNon-operating income was a gain of $0.4 million, an increase of $0.5 million, due to an increase in patronage equity earned from CoBank, the Company’s primary lender, and due to interest income from the proceeds on the sale of the Virginia 10 RSA Limited partnership, offset by losses recorded for the Company’s portfolio of investments.\nThe Company provided for income taxes of $5.3 million in 2003, which is an effective tax rate of 35.2% due to the effect of state tax apportionment rules and reduction in the liability for tax exposures. On a normalized basis the Company would have recorded taxes at an effective tax rate of approximately 39%. Last year’s effective tax rate was 42.2% due to the impact of net operating loss carry forwards generated in several states with higher tax rates. The Company currently operates in four states. Due to apportionment rules and geographic operations of subsidiaries where the Company’s profits and losses arise, the Company is generating profits in states with lower tax rates, while generating losses in states with higher tax rates. The Company cautions readers that the current effective tax rate may not be the same rate at which tax benefits or tax expenses are recorded in the future. The Company’s state apportionments, profits and losses and state tax rates may change, therefore changing the effective rate at which taxes are provided for or at which tax benefits accrue.

These revenue classifications are defined as follows: Wireless revenues are made up of the Personal Communications Company (a PCS Affiliate of Sprint), and the Mobile Company. Wireline revenues include the following subsidiary revenues in the financial results: Telephone Company, Network Company, Cable Television Company, and the Long Distance Company. Other revenues are comprised of the revenues of ShenTel Service Company, the Leasing Company, ShenTel Communications Company and the Holding Company. For additional information on the Company's business segments, see Note 14 to audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.\nThe Company participates in the telecommunications industry, which requires substantial investment in fixed assets or plant. This significant capital requirement may preclude profitability during the initial years of operation. The strategy of the Company is to grow and diversify the business by adding services and geographic areas that can leverage the existing plant, but to do so within the opportunities and constraints presented by the industry. For many years the Company focused on reducing reliance on the regulated telephone operation, which up until 1981 was the primary business within the Company. This initial diversification was concentrated in other wireline businesses, such as the cable television and regional fiber facility businesses, but in 1990 the Company made its first significant investment in the wireless sector through its former investment in the Virginia 10 RSA Limited partnership. By 1998, revenues of the regulated telephone operation had decreased to 59.2% of total revenues. In that same year more than 76.6% of the Company’s total revenue was generated by wireline operations, and initiatives were already underway to make wireless a more significant contributor to total revenues.\nDuring the 1990’s significant investments were made in the cellular and PCS (wireless) businesses. The VA 10 RSA cellular operation, in which the Company held a 66% interest and was the general partner, experienced rapid revenue growth and excellent margins in the late 1990’s. The cellular operation covered only six counties, and became increasingly dependent on roaming revenues. Management believed the roaming revenues and associated margins would be unsustainable as other wireless providers increasingly offered nationally-branded services with significantly reduced usage charges. To position it to participate in the newer, more advanced, digital wireless services, in 1995 the Company entered the PCS business through an affiliation with American Personal Communications (APC), initiating service along the Interstate 81 corridor from Harrisonburg, Virginia to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. This territory was a very close match to the Company’s fiber network, thereby providing economic integration that might not be available to other wireless carriers. In 1999, the Company entered a new affiliation arrangement with Sprint, the successor to APC (which introduced the Company to a nationally-branded wireless service) and expanded the PCS footprint further into Central Pennsylvania. The Company’s combined capital investment in 2000 and 2001 in the PCS operation was $45.1 million.", + "page_start": 40, + "page_end": 40, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "## **3,070**\n\n#### **SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**\n\n##### **CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES**\n\nThe Company also reviews current trends in the credit quality of the subscriber bases in its various businesses and periodically changes its credit policies. As of December 31, 2003, the Sprint PCS subscriber base in the Company’s market area consisted of 17.9% sub-prime credit quality subscribers compared to 25.3% at December 31, 2002. Sprint manages the accounts receivable function related to all of the Company’s Sprint PCS wireless customers, therefore limiting the amount of control the Company has in setting credit policy parameters.\nThe remainder of the Company’s receivables are associated with services provided on a more localized basis, where the Company exercises total control in setting credit policy parameters. Historically there have been limited losses generated from the non-PCS revenue streams. Prior to 2002, the Company had not faced significant write-offs of inter-\n##### **CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES**\nThrough Sprint, the Company began receiving revenue from wholesale resellers of wireless PCS service in late 2002. These resellers pay a flat rate per minute of use for all traffic their subscribers generate on the Company’s network. The Company’s cost to handle this traffic is the incremental cost to provide the necessary network capacity.\nThe Company faces vigorous competition in the wireless business as numerous national carriers are aggressively marketing their services in the Company’s markets. The competitive landscape could change significantly depending on the marketing initiatives of our competitors, or in the event of consolidation in the wireless industry.\nThe wireline business is made up of traditional telephony, cable TV, fiber network operations and the Company’s long- distance resale business. These businesses operate in a defined geographic area. The Company’s primary service area for the telephone, cable TV and long-distance business is Shenandoah County, Virginia. The county is a rural area in northwestern Virginia, with a population of approximately 37,300 inhabitants, which has increased by approximately 6,000 since 1990. The potential for significant numbers of additional customers in the current operating area is limited.\nThe Company’s telephone subscriber count declined in the third quarter and again in the fourth quarter of 2003. Migration to wireless and DSL services are believed to be driving this change. Based on industry experience, the Company anticipates this trend may continue for the foreseeable future.\nOther revenues include Internet services, both dial-up and DSL high-speed service. The Company has seen a decline in dial up subscriptions over the last year. The DSL service has grown over 100% in the last year driven by customer desire for faster Internet connections.", + "page_start": 44, + "page_end": 44, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#### **SHENTEL SERVICE AREAS**\n\nThe Company continued its efforts to successfully grow revenues and profits from other lines of business and by furnishing more and newer services in our enlarged footprint extending beyond Shenandoah County. Revenues from our information access services, which includes contract work on the 511Virginia Travel Project and Internet access services, increased $0.6 million, to $7.0 million during 2003. The Virginia Department of Transportation has requested proposals to continue the 511 project for future years, as well as to expand it to cover all the interstate highways throughout the Commonwealth. The success of the project to date has attracted many other bidders competing against our Company to win the contracts. Our recently launched regional phone book, Shentel Pages, exceeded our initial revenue expectations. It is hoped that a single source of phone listings and Yellow Page advertising, in both printed and online versions, will increasingly be demanded by residents and businesses in the northern Shenandoah Valley region.\nWhile our 2003 results have been good, we recognize we still have many challenges to overcome in order to continue our history of profitable long-term growth. Foremost is sustaining profitability in our PCS business which is so heavily dependent on Sprint's decisions and overall success with PCS. Our recently announced amendment to our Sprint agreements will provide some cost savings and allow us greater certainty in fees paid to Sprint. The recently announced merger between two of Sprint's competitors may provide some much needed consolidation in the U.S. wireless industry.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "## **3,070**\n\n#### **SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**\n\n##### **Significant Transactions**\n\nThe growing belief that national branding was critical to our wireless operations, the expectation that roaming revenues from our analog cellular operation would not continue to grow, and the increase in the number of wireless competitors in our markets, prompted the Company to exit the cellular business in order to focus on our PCS operations. The Company entered into an agreement on November 21, 2002, to sell its 66% ownership interest in the Virginia 10 RSA cellular operation which was classified as a discontinued operation. The closing occurred February 28, 2003. The Company received $37.0 million in proceeds, including $5.0 million in escrow for two years and $1.7 million for working capital.\nIn many respects, 2003 was a successful year. Churn and levels of uncollectable accounts in the PCS operation returned to more acceptable levels. PCS revenues reached $67.0 million, and total revenues reached $105.9 million. The PCS operation recognized a small profit for the year, including favorable adjustments associated with settlement of disputed items with Sprint. Excluding the favorable adjustments, the PCS operation recognized a profit in the fourth quarter. With improved operating cash flow and reduced capital spending in 2003, the Company prepaid $4.6 million in debt, selecting those notes with nominal prepayment penalties. Additionally, after receiving the cash and paying taxes on the gain of the sale of the Virginia 10 partnership interest, the Company invested the remaining proceeds in liquid financial instruments, available for future deployment. Additionally, the Company has been successful at decreasing its dependency on wireline revenues. Wireline revenues, at $29.0 million in 2003 compared to $18.6 million in 1998, were 27.4% of total revenues in 2003 compared to 76.6% in 1998.\nEntering 2004, the Company is pleased with the milestone of a profitable quarter in the PCS operation, but recognizes that much work remains to ultimately earn a reasonable return on this investment. The recently announced signing of an addendum to the management and services agreements with Sprint is expected to lead to cost savings and greater certainty in fees paid to Sprint. However, the consolidation predicted for the wireless industry in recent years, including the recently announced Cingular/ATT deal and anticipated improvements in the overall economics of wireless services, has not yet materialized. Future Sprint marketing efforts, designed to meet the competition, could potentially have an unfavorable impact on the Company and lead to additional losses. The risks associated with the Sprint PCS affiliation are described in further detail elsewhere in this document.

There are no known claims that have been filed against the amount in escrow.\nThe Company spent $12.5 million on capital projects in 2003, or about $7.0 million below what was budgeted for the year. The variance was primarily due to postponing construction of an additional diverse fiber route and the delay of the second phase of renovations on the Shentel Center in Edinburg, Virginia.\nThe Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements and has not entered into any transactions involving unconsolidated, limited purpose entities or commodity contracts.\nCapital expenditures budgeted for 2004 total approximately $30 million, including approximately $20 million for additional PCS base stations, additional towers, and switch upgrades to enhance the PCS network. Improvements and replacements of approximately $5 million are planned for the telephone operation. The remaining $5 million covers building renovations, vehicles, office equipment, and other miscellaneous capital needs.\nThe Company anticipates using funds from operations, to the extent they are available to fund the capital expenditures and the payment of debt and interest. Due to lower than expected tax expenses in 2003, the Company will apply the tax receivable to the 2004-year tax liability. It is anticipated by no later than second quarter of 2004, additional federal tax payments will be due based on anticipated profits expected to be generated in the operation.\nManagement anticipates its operations will generate similar operating cash flows in 2004, compared to those of continuing operations in 2003, although there are events outside the control of the Company that could have an adverse impact on cash flows from operations. The events that could adversely impact operating cash flow results include, but are not limited to; changes in overall economic conditions, regulatory requirements, changes in technologies, availability of labor resources and capital, and other conditions. The PCS subsidiary's operations are dependent upon Sprint’s ability to execute certain functions such as billing, customer care, and collections; their ability to develop and implement successful marketing programs and new products and services; and their ability to effectively and economically manage other operating activities under the Company's agreements with Sprint. Additionally, the Company's ability to attract and maintain a sufficient customer base is critical to maintaining a positive cash flow from operations.

Secondly, the simulated values of global mean temperature in the future years are subtracted from the simulated average value of 1986- 2005; then the values should be plus with 0.61 °C, which are the global warming results above pre-industrial levels; then 20 years moving average of the above results are calculated. Thirdly, the climate data of global warming by 1.5 °C is defined according to the principles provided in the fifth IPCC Assessment Report, for which it should be within 1.5- 2.0 °C above pre-industrial levels at the end of the twenty-first century; the climate data of global warming by 2.0 °C is defined according to the principles provided in the fifth IPCC Assessment Report, for which it should be within 2.0- 2.5 °C above pre-industrial levels at the end of the twenty-first century and the period of global warming by 2.0 °C should not be earlier than 2050.

The inputs for DSSAT simulation include soil parameters, crop calendar data and management information are coped with carefully to improve the effective- ness and reliability of maize yield simulation. There are also several uncertainties and limitations. Firstly, there is no unified understanding of how to cal- culate the temperature rise of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C relative to pre-industrial levels in the worldwide. At present the research on climate prediction and impact assessment under global warming 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C usually adopts multi-mode ensemble average ­methods 61 , 62 , which could obtain the warming response under the condition of instantaneous change, rather than the warming process under the stable state expected by the long-term goal. If we expect to obtain the accurate results, the model prediction test should be estimated to form proprietary sce- narios for global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C 63 , 64 , which could support for the impacts assessment on different sectors. Some institutions are carrying out climate change predictions under the lower emission scenarios (global warming 1.5 °C or 2.0 °C). At the same time, in order to achieve the goal of controlling temperature by 1.5 °C at the end of the twenty-first century, it is urgent to take actions to reduce emissions and develop along the track of low energy ­consumption 65 , 66 ; but it is a great challenge for human society to achieve this goal. Secondly, our methodological approach in this study also has some important limitations, including our use of a single crop model to estimate maize yields. There are some limitations for the DSSAT model to simulate yield loss caused by climate extreme ­events 67 , in which the impacts of pests and diseases are also ­ignored 68 . However, the DSSAT model has been applied in a lot of researches to simulate historical maize ­yield 69 - 71 , in which the results are reliable and ­credible 72 . The results of this research could be an important reference to the other studies which simulate global maize yield in the future, applying crop models such as APSIM, WOFOST, ORYZA and so on. Thirdly, there are relatively more researches on the prediction of climate change trend under the background of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C; but the research on the impact assessment of the main grain crops including global trade in worldwide is few. In the meantime, we do not assess the effect of future changes on agriculture, such as increases in farm productivity due to new technology.

The most remarkable characteristics is the rising of mean temperature in the worldwide (Fig. 2 a, b); meanwhile, the rainfall would increase in most regions of the world. The distributions of temperature changes under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C are similar (Fig. 2 c, d). There are few regions in which the temperature would go down under the two scenarios; the temperature goes up more seriously in the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern regions; especially in the high-latitude area the temperature rises more quickly than the other regions. Under global warming by 1.5 °C the area is 54.4% in whole world in which the temperature would go up between 1.0 and 1.5 °C than the baseline, located in the middle and low latitude regions; the area is 29.2% of the whole world in which the temperature would go up more than 1.5 °C, most located in the high latitude regions of Northern Hemisphere; the area is 16.4% of the whole world in which the temperature would go up between 0 and 1.0 °C , mostly located in the Southern Hemisphere and the low latitude regions of Northern Hemisphere. Under global warming by 2.0 °C the area is 12.3% in which the temperature would go up between 1.0 and 1.5 °C than the baseline, located in the middle and low latitude regions; the area is 69.8% in which the temperature would go up between 1.5 and 3.0 °C than the baseline, located in the middle and high latitude regions; the area\n**Figure 2.** Distribution of temperature and precipitation changes under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C ( **a** ) temperature, 1.5 °C; ( **b** ) temperature, 2.0 °C; ( **c** ) precipitation, 1.5 °C; ( **d** ) precipitation, 2.0 °C.

The distribution of precipitation under global warming by 2.0 °C is similar with the situation under global warming by 1.5 °C. The drought-threatened area would increase by 28.5% under global warming by 2.0 °C, especially in the middle and low latitude of the Northern Hemisphere; the area would expand to 26%, in which the precipitation increases more than 50 mm.

In the near future, if the global temperature can be effectively controlled under 1.5 °C warming scenario, there would be an increase in the potential for maize yield in the worldwide. All regions and countries should take actions to reduce the yield loss risk. For the yield-increasing regions, the potentials of climate resources should be fully utilized to guarantee maize yield under future scenarios; for the yield-reducing regions, the targeted adaptation actions should be taken in advance under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C. Meanwhile, the risk of price fluctuations caused by global corn trade due to future climate change should be paid more attention to, especially for developing and undeveloped countries.

From the spatial distribution, the gross maize yield in the top 5 high-yield countries (including the United States, China, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico) would decrease by 2% under global warming by 1.5 °C and 11.4% under global warming by 2.0 °C. At the global level, the market price for maize would increase by 0.7% and 3.4% under 1.5 °C scenario and 2.0 °C scenario, respectively, which would vary quite largely among different countries and regions.

For example:\n- **Dataset documentation and transparency:** Transparent documentation is important\nfor any dataset used for AI training. A datasheet is a standardized form of\ndocumentation that includes information about provenance and composition of data,\nand includes information on management practices, recommended uses or collection\nprocess.\n- **Quality assurance:** Above, we note the many features that make books useful for AI\ntraining, as compared with web data, for example. That said, the institution managing\na books commons dataset may still want to collect and curate the collection to meet\nthe particular purposes of its users. For instance, it may want to take steps to\nmitigate biases inherent in the dataset, by ensuring books are representative of a\nvariety of languages and geographies.\n- **Understanding uses:** The institution managing a books commons dataset could\nmeasure and study how the dataset is used, to inform future improvements. Such\nmonitoring may also enable accountability measures with respect to uses of the\ndataset. Introducing community norms for disclosing datasets used in AI training and\nother forms of AI research would facilitate such monitoring.\n- **Governance mechanisms:** In determining matters like acceptable and ethical use, the\nfundamental question is “who decides.” While this might be settled simply by whoever\nsets up and operates the dataset and related infrastructure, participatory\nmechanisms — such as advisory bodies bringing together a broad range of users and\nstakeholders of a collection — could also be incorporated.", + "page_start": 18, + "page_end": 19, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## * **7. Conclusion** *\n\nThis paper is a snapshot of an idea that is as underexplored as it is rooted in decades of\nexisting work. The concept of mass digitization of books, including to support text and data\nmining, of which AI is a subset, is not new. But AI training is newly of the zeitgeist, and its\ntransformative use makes questions about how we digitize, preserve, and make accessible\nknowledge and cultural heritage salient in a distinct way.\nAs such, efforts to build a books data commons need not start from scratch; there is much\nto glean from studying and engaging existing and previous efforts. Those learnings might\ninform substantive decisions about how to build a books data commons for AI training. For\ninstance, looking at the design decisions of HathiTrust may inform how the technical\ninfrastructure and data management practices for AI training might be designed, as well as\nhow to address challenges to building a comprehensive, diverse, and useful corpus. In\naddition, learnings might inform the process by which we get to a books data commons —\nfor example, illustrating ways to attend to the interests of those likely to be impacted by the\ndataset’s development.\n\n41\nWhile this paper does not prescribe a particular path forward, we do think finding a path (or\npaths) to extend access to books for AI training is critical. In the status quo, large swaths of\nknowledge contained in books are effectively locked up and inaccessible to most everyone.\nGoogle is an exception — it can reap the benefits of their 40 million books dataset for\nresearch, development, and deployment of AI models. Large, well-resourced entities could\ntheoretically try to replicate Google’s digitization efforts, although it would be incredibly\nexpensive, impractical, and largely duplicative for each entity to individually pursue their own\nefforts. Even then, it isn’t clear how everyone else — independent researchers, entrepreneurs,\nand smaller entities — will have access. The controversy around the Books3 dataset\ndiscussed at the outset should not, then, be an argument in favor of preserving the status\nquo. Instead, it should highlight the urgency of building a books data commons to support an", + "page_start": 20, + "page_end": 20, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## * **3.

For all that the Internet has generated an explosion in\nhuman creativity and information sharing, it generally represents only a few decades\nof information and a small portion of the world’s creative population. A books\ndataset, by comparison, is capable of representing centuries of human knowledge. As\na result such a dataset can help ensure AI systems behavior is based on centuries of\nhistorical information from modern books. It can help ensure broad geographic and\nlinguistic diversity. What’s more, the greater breadth and diversity of high-quality\ncontent help mitigate challenges around bias and misinformation. Using a more\ndiverse pool of training data can help support the production of a model and outputs\nof the model that are more representative of that diversity. Books can be useful in\nevaluation datasets to test existing models for memorization capabilities, which can\nhelp prevent unintended reproduction of existing works. Of course, this is all\ncontingent on actual composition of the corpus; in order to have the benefits\ndescribed, the books would need to be curated and included with characteristics like\ntime, geographic and linguistic diversity.\n- **Other Modalities:** Finally, books do not just contain text, they often contain images\nand captions of those images. As such, they can be an important training source for\nmulti-modal LLMs, which can receive and generate data in media other than text.\n**Lowering Barriers to Entry & Facilitating Competition**\nBroad access to books for AI training is critical to ensure powerful AI models are not\nconcentrated in the hands of only a few companies. Access to training data, in general, has\nbeen cited as a potential competitive concern in the AI field because of the performance 11", + "page_start": 5, + "page_end": 6, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## * **3. Why Books are Important to Training AI** *\n\nbenefits to be gained by training on larger and larger datasets. But this competitive wedge is\neven more acute when we look specifically at access to book datasets.\nThe largest technology companies building commercial AI models have the resources and\ncapacity to mass digitize books for AI training. Google has scanned 40 million books, many\nof which came from digitization partnerships they formed with libraries. They may already\nuse some or all of these books to train their AI systems. It’s unclear to what extent other 12\ncompanies already have acquired books for AI training (for instance, whether Amazon’s\nexisting licenses with publishers or self-published authors may permit such uses);\n\nSee e.g. Trendacosta, Katherine and Doctorow, Cory. “AI Art Generators and the Online Image Market.” 11\n*Electronic Frontier Foundation* , 3 Apr. 2023, www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/ai-art-generators-and-\nonline-image-market ; Narechania, Tejas N., and Sitaraman, Ganesh. “An Antimonopoly Approach to\nGoverning Artificial Intelligence.” *SSRN Electronic Journal* , 2023, cdn.vanderbilt.edu/vu-URL/wp-content/\nuploads/sites/412/2023/10/09151452/Policy-Brief-2023.10.08-.pdf , https://doi.org/10.2139/\nssrn.4597080 .

Our pretraining dataset uses data from\nweb documents, books, and code, and includes image, audio, and video data.”\nregardless, comparable efforts to Google’s would cost many hundreds of millions of\ndollars. 13\nIndependent researchers, entrepreneurs, and most other businesses and organizations are\nunlikely to have the resources required to digitally scan millions of books nor purchase\nlicenses to digitized books in ways that could unlock the benefits described above. Ensuring\ngreater competition and innovation in this space will require making this type of data\navailable to upstarts and other entities with limited resources. A well-designed and\nappropriately governed digital books commons is one way to do that.\n\n“By 2004, Google had started scanning.

Introduction** * 1\n\nWhile the field of artificial intelligence research and technology has a long history, broad\npublic attention grew over the last year in light of the wide availability of new generative AI\nsystems, including large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, Claude, and LLaMA-2. These\ntools are developed using machine learning and other techniques that analyze large datasets\nof written text, and they are capable of generating text in response to a user’s prompts.\nWhile many large language models rely on website text for training, books have also played\nan important role in developing and improving AI systems. Despite the widespread use of e-\nbooks and growth of sales in that market, books remain difficult for researchers and\nentrepreneurs to access at scale in digital form for the purposes of training AI.\nIn 2023, multiple news publications reported on the availability and use of a dataset of books\ncalled “Books3” to train LLMs. The Books3 dataset contains text from over 170,000 books, 2\nwhich are a mix of in-copyright and out-of-copyright works. It is believed to have been\noriginally sourced from a website that was not authorized to distribute all of the works\ncontained in the dataset. In lawsuits brought against OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, and\nBloomberg related to their LLMs, the use of Books3 as training data was specifically cited.\n3\nThe Books3 controversy highlights a critical question at the heart of generative AI: what role\ndo books play in training AI models, and how might digitized books be made widely\naccessible for the purposes of training AI? What dataset of books could be constructed and\nunder what circumstances?\nIn February 2024, Creative Commons, Open Future and Proteus Strategies convened a series\nof workshops to investigate the concept of a responsibly designed, broadly accessible", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## *5a.

Accessed 20 Mar. 2024.\n**Implications of the The Overall Approach**\nStepping back from The Pile v2 specifically, or any particular existing collection of books or\ndataset built on their basis, we want to understand the implications of relying on public\ndomain works and expressly licensed works in building a books commons.\nThe benefits are relatively straightforward. Both categories, by definition come with express\npermission to use the books in AI training. The cost of acquiring the books for this use may\nbe effectively zero or close to it, when considering public domain and “openly” licensed\nbooks that allow redistribution and that have already been digitized.\nBut this approach comes with some clear limitations. First, as noted above, for many books\nin the public domain, their status as such is not always clear. And with respect to\npermissively licensed books, it is not always clear whether and how to comply with the\nlicense obligations in this context.\nSetting aside those challenges, the simple fact is that relying on public domain and existing\npermissively licensed books would limit the quantity and diversity of data available for\ntraining, impacting performance along different dimensions. Only a small fraction of books\never published fall into this category, and the corpus of books in this category is likely to be\nskewed heavily towards older public domain books. This skew would, in turn, impact the\ncontent available for AI training. For instance, relying on books from before 1929 would not 30\nonly incorporate outdated language patterns, but also a range of biases and misconceptions\nabout race and gender, among other things. Efforts could be made to get people to\npermissively license more material — a book drive for permissive licensing, so to speak; this\napproach would still not encompass most books, at least when it comes to past works. 31", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 13, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## *5a. Public domain and permissively licensed books*\n\n**Existing Project Example : The Pile v2** 27\nIn 2020, the nonprofit research group EleutherAI constructed and released The Pile — a large,\ndiverse, open dataset for AI training. EleutherAI developed it not only to support their own\ntraining of LLMs, but also to lower the barriers for others. 28\nAlong with data drawn from the web at large, The Pile included books from three datasets.\nThe first dataset was the Books3 corpus referenced at the outset of this paper. The second\nand third books datasets were smaller: BookCorpus2, which is a collection of 17,868 books\nby otherwise unpublished authors; and a 28,752 books in the public domain and published\nprior to 1919, drawn from a volunteer effort to digitize public domain works called Project\nGutenberg.\nAs the awareness about The Pile dataset grew, certain rightsholders began sending copyright\nnotices to have the dataset taken down from various websites.\nDespite the takedown requests, the importance of books to EleutherAI and the broader\ncommunity’s AI research remained. In hoping to forge a path forward EleutherAI announced\nin 2024 that they would create a new version of the dataset, which they will call The Pile v2. 29\nAmong other things, v2 would “have many more books than the original Pile had, for\nexample, and more diverse representation of non-academic non-fiction domains.” At the\nsame time, it would only seek to include public domain books and permissively licensed\ncontent. As before, this corpus focuses on English language books.\n\nThis is an illustrative example, and there are also other projects of this ilk. For instance, see the 27\nCommon Corpus project, which includes an array of public domain books from a number of countries,\nat [https://huggingface.co/blog/Pclanglais/common-corpus](https://huggingface.co/blog/Pclanglais/common-corpus) ; see also [https://huggingface.co/datasets/](https://huggingface.co/datasets/storytracer/internet_archive_books_en)\n[storytracer/internet_archive_books_en](https://huggingface.co/datasets/storytracer/internet_archive_books_en) (“This dataset contains more than 650,000 English public domain\nbooks (~ 61 billion words) which were digitized by the Internet Archive and cataloged as part of the\nOpen Library project.”)\n\nSee Gao et al, supra note 8. 28\n\nGoldman, Sharon. “One of the World’s Largest AI Training Datasets Is About to Get Bigger and 29", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 12, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## * **2.

In turn, this has allowed a higher degree of language\ngeneralizability in the resulting model. For example, OpenAI’s ChatGPT trained on hundreds\nof billions of tokens, allowing it to model language in a very general way. The resulting\nmodels an then be fine-tuned for specific tasks using training data representing a particular\ncorpus, such as software code. 8\n\nMcKinsey provides an overview of the different types of tokens that may be used by AI models. 7\nMcKinsey. “What Is Tokenization? | McKinsey.” *Mckinsey.com* , 2023, www.mckinsey.com/featured-\ninsights/mckinsey-explainers/what-is-tokenization .\n\nThere are certain technical challenges in using books in AI training as well, given the nature of the 8\nformat. First, one must address whether a book is already in digital form. For the vast majority of books,\nthat is not the case. One first needs to digitize the book, and convert it to a digital text file using optical\ncharacter recognition (OCR), or use a born-digital version (although we return to specific limitations on\nthat approach below). Second, once a book is in digital text form, it must be converted into a text format\nthat is suitable for AI training. Text conversion tools transfer the content of books into complete text\nfiles, which is akin to the type of conversion that must be done between a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF\nfile format and a simple .txt format. This conversion is generally not adequate for the purpose of AI\ntraining; researchers have found that post-processing is required to ensure these text files are properly\nformatted for the purposes of tokenization. For example, when building the dataset known as The Pile,\nresearchers had to modify an existing epub-to-text converter tool to ensure that document structure\nacross chapters was preserved to match the table of contents, that tables of data were correctly\nrendered, to convert numbered lists from digitally legible lists of “1\\.” to “1.”, and to replace unicode\npunctuation with ascii punctuation.

Still, dataset size generally remains significant to an LLM’s performance - the\nmore text one can train on, or rather the more tokens for training the model, the better, at\nleast along a number of performance metrics.\n\n37\nWhile holding the potential for a broader and more diverse dataset, a key limitation in\npursuing this approach is that it is only feasible where relevant copyright limitations and\nexceptions exist.

In the United States, all books published or released before 1929 are in\nthe public domain. While use of these books provides maximal certainty for the AI developer\nto train on, it is worth noting that the status of whether a book is in the public domain can be\ndifficult to determine. For instance, books released between 1929 and 1963 in the U.S. are 14\nout of copyright if they were not subject to a copyright renewal; however, data on copyright\nrenewals is not easily accessible.\nWhat’s more, copyright definitions and term lengths vary among countries. Even if a work is\nin the public domain in the US, it may not be in other countries. Countries generally use the 15\nlife of the last living author + “x” years to determine the term of copyright protection. For\nmost countries, “x” is either 50 years (the minimum required by the Berne Convention) or 70\nyears (this is the case for all member states of the European Union and for all works\npublished in the U.S. after 1978). This approach makes it difficult to determine copyright\nterms with certainty because it requires information about the date of death of each author,\nwhich is often not readily available.\n**In-Copyright Books:** The vast majority of books are in copyright, and, insofar as the training\nprocess requires making a copy of the book, the use in AI training may implicate copyright\nlaw. Our workshop covered three possible paths for incorporating such works.\n**Direct licensing**\nOne could directly license books from rightsholders. There may be some publishers who are\nwilling to license their works for this purpose, but it is hard to determine the scale of such\naccess, and, in any event, there are significant limits on this approach.

For\nexample:\n- In the United States, many argue using existing works to train generative AI is “fair\nuse,” consistent with existing law and legal precedents. This is the subject of a 19\nnumber of currently active court cases, and different actors and tools may yield\ndifferent results, as fair use is applied case-by-case using a flexible balancing test.\n- In the European Union, there are explicit exceptions in the law for “text and data\nmining” uses of in-copyright works, both for non-commercial research and for\ncommercial purposes. However, for commercial uses and for users outside of\nresearch and heritage institutions, they must respect the rights of rightsholders who\nchoose to “reserve their rights” (i.e., opt-out of allowing text and data mining) via\nmachine readable mechanisms. The exception also requires that users have “lawful 20\naccess” to the works.\n- Finally, Japan provides a specific text and data mining exception, without any\ncomparable opt-out requirement for commercial uses as is embedded in EU law. 21\n\nWhile exceptions that allow AI training exist in several other countries, such as Singapore and\nIsrael, most countries do not provide exceptions that appear to permit AI training.

Accessed 20 Mar. 2024.\n**Implications of the The Overall Approach**\nStepping back from The Pile v2 specifically, or any particular existing collection of books or\ndataset built on their basis, we want to understand the implications of relying on public\ndomain works and expressly licensed works in building a books commons.\nThe benefits are relatively straightforward. Both categories, by definition come with express\npermission to use the books in AI training. The cost of acquiring the books for this use may\nbe effectively zero or close to it, when considering public domain and “openly” licensed\nbooks that allow redistribution and that have already been digitized.\nBut this approach comes with some clear limitations. First, as noted above, for many books\nin the public domain, their status as such is not always clear. And with respect to\npermissively licensed books, it is not always clear whether and how to comply with the\nlicense obligations in this context.\nSetting aside those challenges, the simple fact is that relying on public domain and existing\npermissively licensed books would limit the quantity and diversity of data available for\ntraining, impacting performance along different dimensions. Only a small fraction of books\never published fall into this category, and the corpus of books in this category is likely to be\nskewed heavily towards older public domain books. This skew would, in turn, impact the\ncontent available for AI training. For instance, relying on books from before 1929 would not 30\nonly incorporate outdated language patterns, but also a range of biases and misconceptions\nabout race and gender, among other things. Efforts could be made to get people to\npermissively license more material — a book drive for permissive licensing, so to speak; this\napproach would still not encompass most books, at least when it comes to past works. 31", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 13, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## * **6. Cross-cutting design questions** *\n\nThe workshops briefly touched on several cross-cutting design questions. While most\nrelevant for approaches that depend on limitations and exceptions, considerations of these\nquestions may be relevant across both tracks.\n*Would authors, publishers, and other relevant rightsholders* *and creators have any ability to exclude their works?*\nOne of the greatest sources of controversy in this area is the extent to which rightsholders of\ncopyrighted works, as well as the original creators of such works (e.g., book authors in this\ncontext), should be able to prevent use of their works for AI training.\nWhile a system that required affirmative “opt-in” consent would limit utility significantly (as\ndiscussed above in the context of directly licensing works), a system that allowed some\nforms of “opt-out” could still be quite useful to some types of AI development. In the context\nof use cases like development of LLMs, the performance impact may not be so significant.\nSince most in-copyright books are not actively managed, the majority of books would remain\nin the corpus by default. The performance of LLMs can still be improved across various\ndimensions without including, for example, the most famous writers or those who continue\nto commercially exploit their works and may choose to exercise an opt-out. Perhaps the\npotential for licensing relationships (and revenue) may induce some rightsholders to come\nforward and begin actively managing their works. In such a case, uses that do require a\nlicense may once again become more feasible once the rightsholder can be reached.\nWorkshop participants discussed different types of opt-outs that could be built. For example,\nopt-outs could be thought of not in blanket terms, but only as applied to certain uses, for\nexample to commercial uses of the corpus, but not research uses. This could build on or\nmirror the approach that the EU has taken in its text and data mining exceptions to\ncopyright. Opt-outs might be more granular, by focusing on allowing or forbidding particular 38", + "page_start": 17, + "page_end": 17, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## * **6. Cross-cutting design questions** *\n\n###### *Who would get to use the books data commons? For what?*\n\nuses or other categories of users, given that rights holders have many different sets of\npreferences.\nAnother question is about *who* can opt-out particular works from the dataset. This could\nsolely be an option for copyright holders, although authors might be allowed to exercise an\nopt-out for their books even if they don’t hold the copyrights. This might create challenges if\nthe author and rightsholder disagree about whether to opt a particular book out of the\ncorpus. Another related issue is that individual books, such as anthologies, may comprise\nworks created (and rights held) by many different entities. The images in a book may have\ncome from third-party sources, for instance, or a compendium of poetry might involve many\n\nIn fact, as noted above, to the extent an AI model developer intends for their model to abide by the 38\nEU’s legal regime, they will have to abide by such opt-outs, at least if they are engaged in text and data\nmining for commercial uses and/or are users outside of the covered set of research and heritage\ninstitutions. A books data commons may incorporate opt-outs in particular to serve such EU-focused AI\ndevelopers.\ndifferent rightsholders and authors. Managing opt-outs for so many different interests within\none book may get overly complicated very fast.\nIn any event, creating an opt-out system will need some ways of authenticating whether\nsomeone has the relevant authority to make choices about inclusion of a work.\n###### *Who would get to use the books data commons? For what?*\nA commons might be made publicly available to all, as has been done with datasets like The\nPile. Another possible design choice is to restrict access only to authorized users and to\nenforce particular responsibilities or obligations in return for authorization.

Unlike CC0, PDM doesn’t\nchange the copyright status of a work.\nPDM can be used by anyone, and is intended for use\nwith works that are already free of known copyright\nrestrictions throughout the world.\n##### Public domain works are valuable because anyone\n##### can freely build upon, enhance, and reuse them for\n##### any purposes without restriction under copyright\n##### or database law.\nThat’s why it’s important for creators to have a clear and\nlegally robust way to place their works in the public domain as\ncompletely as possible, and it’s also important for publishers\nand archives to have a standardized way to identify works that\nare already in the public domain.\nCreative Commons supports two distinct public domain tools,\nthe CC0 Public Domain Dedication and the Public Domain\nMark . Creative Commons copyright licenses help authors\nmanage their copyright on terms they choose. Conversely, CC0\nenables authors and copyright owners who want to dedicate\ntheir works to the worldwide public domain to do so, and PDM\nfacilitates the labeling and discovery of works that are already\nfree of known copyright restrictions.\nWhere public domain tools fit in the copyright spectrum\nSome rights\nreserved\nAll rights\nreserved\nPDM\nNo known\ncopyright\nCC0\nPublic\ndomain", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "Publicdomain.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf", + "query": "What of the main imporvement of the Pile v2 dataset in comparison to its first version ?", + "target_page": 13, + "target_passage": "Among other things, v2 would “have many more books than the original Pile had, for example, and more diverse representation of non-academic non-fiction domains.” At the same time, it would only seek to include public domain books and permissively licensed content", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": true, + "index": 0 + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## *5a.

EleutherAI developed it not only to support their own\ntraining of LLMs, but also to lower the barriers for others. 28\nAlong with data drawn from the web at large, The Pile included books from three datasets.\nThe first dataset was the Books3 corpus referenced at the outset of this paper. The second\nand third books datasets were smaller: BookCorpus2, which is a collection of 17,868 books\nby otherwise unpublished authors; and a 28,752 books in the public domain and published\nprior to 1919, drawn from a volunteer effort to digitize public domain works called Project\nGutenberg.\nAs the awareness about The Pile dataset grew, certain rightsholders began sending copyright\nnotices to have the dataset taken down from various websites.\nDespite the takedown requests, the importance of books to EleutherAI and the broader\ncommunity’s AI research remained. In hoping to forge a path forward EleutherAI announced\nin 2024 that they would create a new version of the dataset, which they will call The Pile v2. 29\nAmong other things, v2 would “have many more books than the original Pile had, for\nexample, and more diverse representation of non-academic non-fiction domains.” At the\nsame time, it would only seek to include public domain books and permissively licensed\ncontent. As before, this corpus focuses on English language books.\n\nThis is an illustrative example, and there are also other projects of this ilk. For instance, see the 27\nCommon Corpus project, which includes an array of public domain books from a number of countries,\nat [https://huggingface.co/blog/Pclanglais/common-corpus](https://huggingface.co/blog/Pclanglais/common-corpus) ; see also [https://huggingface.co/datasets/](https://huggingface.co/datasets/storytracer/internet_archive_books_en)\n[storytracer/internet_archive_books_en](https://huggingface.co/datasets/storytracer/internet_archive_books_en) (“This dataset contains more than 650,000 English public domain\nbooks (~ 61 billion words) which were digitized by the Internet Archive and cataloged as part of the\nOpen Library project.”)\n\nSee Gao et al, supra note 8. 28\n\nGoldman, Sharon. “One of the World’s Largest AI Training Datasets Is About to Get Bigger and 29", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 12, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Revisiting Feature Prediction for Learning Visual Representations from Video 1 Introduction\n\n## **E Extra Results**\n\n### **E.2 Finetuning**\nIn Table 15 , we evaluate V-JEPA using finetuning (separately) on K400 and SSv2.

This means that POMDP active inference models can now be easily\nfit to empirically observed behaviour using sampling, as well as variational methods.

This reduced the cost of our experiments by avoiding expensive GPT API calls and lowering the computational costs of Mixtral. Unless mentioned otherwise, all of our results\n7\nwill be evaluated with respect to this pair, which we refer to as LLM pair 1. We performed more limited experiments with the original strong, weak model pair (LLM pair 4) and had similar success in rerouting.\nWe additionally performed experiments with two further weaker models, in order to better evaluate the case where weak models produce much lower-quality responses for queries (compared to the strong model). In particular, we define LLM pair 2 as the strong model plus Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 [38] and LLM pair 3 as the strong model plus Llama-2-7B-chat- hf [63]. The weaker models in pairs 2 and 3 were chosen to represent smaller (Mistral 7B) and older-generation (Llama-2) models: according to the Chatbot Arena LLM ranking leaderboard [1, 21], Llama-3.1-8B is ranked in the 58th place, Mixtral 8x7B at the 88th place, Mistral-7B at the 108th place, and Llama-2-7B at the 125th place.\nThe LLM strong-weak pairs with which we performed experiments are summarized in Figure 3.\n**Evaluation datasets.** We will evaluate our attacks using three standard LLM benchmarks as workloads: MT-Bench [71], a dataset of 160 open-ended questions, MMLU [35], a dataset of 14,042 multi-choice questions, and GSM8K [24], a dataset of 1,319 grade-school math problems. Note that Ong et al. [47] flagged that some data points are “contaminated”, i.e., they are too similar to the ones used in their training of the routers. We use these datasets without these contaminated elements, resulting in 72 MT-bench queries, 14,037 MMLU queries, and 1,307 GSM8K queries.\nFor MMLU and GSM8K, we will require that the LLMs respond in a predefined format so we can parse and compare the responses to ground-truth answers.

The AI + Energy Summit, scheduled for September 26, 2024, in Washington,\nD.C., will bring together policy makers, energy industry leaders, top government and academic energy researchers, and\ntechnologists to address the challenges of AI’s energy consumption and develop solutions for a resilient and abundant\nenergy future. The event also aims to address the implications of AI and energy for national security and promote\npartnerships between AI and energy stakeholders.\nAI and other emerging technologies can help the United States take the lead in energy areas including maximizing energy\nefficiencies, discovering new materials, and enabling new forms of power generation. AI also has a role to play in\novercoming energy challenges. The Department of Energy (DOE) already uses AI in several areas including advanced\ncomputing, emergency response, environmental modeling, climate forecasting, and materials research.\nSCSP’s recent “Action Plan for U.S. Leadership in Next-Generation Energy,” raises many issues related to AI and energy,\nincluding recommendations for the government to bring America forward. The AI+ Energy Summit will highlight these and\nother issues, and promote collaboration to solve problems. The stakes are high; if the U.S. falls short on energy, American\nadversaries could gain the upper hand in AI leadership, according to SCSP experts.\nVisit scsp.ai to learn more about the AI+Energy Summit and the SCSP’s Next-Generation Energy Action Plan.\nArticle Link\n[https://about.newsusa.com/new-artificial-intelligence-summit-series-begins-with...](https://about.newsusa.com/new-artificial-intelligence-summit-series-begins-with-energy)\n[ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT](https://about.newsusa.com/taxonomy/term/78)\n07/31/2024\n[Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with](https://about.newsusa.com/celebrate-st-patricks-day-with-no-booze-just-pure-irish-fun-and-entertainment)\nNo Booze, Just Pure Irish Fun and\nEntertainment\nMar 06, 2024\nSay Hello to Your Big Break at the\nStapleton Library Job Fair in\n[Vocation, Trade, or Civil Service](https://about.newsusa.com/say-hello-to-your-big-break-at-the-stapleton-library-job-fair-in-vocation-trade-or-civil-service)\nMar 06, 2024\nLocal Artists Collaborate for a\n[Unique Fusion of Groove and](https://about.newsusa.com/local-artists-collaborate-for-a-unique-fusion-of-groove-and-collage)\nCollage\nMar 06, 2024\n[Explore Downtown San Pedro](https://about.newsusa.com/explore-downtown-san-pedro-with-flair-ride-the-iconic-red-car-trolley-for-free)\nwith Flair: Ride the Iconic Red Car", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "news1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New Artificial Intelligence Summit Series Begins With Energy 01 02 03 04 05 06\n\n[Log in](https://about.newsusa.com/user/login)\n[Home](https://about.newsusa.com/) / [Arts and Entertainment](https://about.newsusa.com/taxonomy/term/78) / New Artificial Intelligence Summit Series Begins With Energy", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "news1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Artificial intelligence Goals\n\n## **Artificial intelligence**\n\n### **Ethics**\n\n#### **Regulation**\n\n[In November 2023, the first global AI Safety Summit was held in Bletchley Park in the UK to discuss the](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bletchley_Park)\nnear and far term risks of AI and the possibility of mandatory and voluntary regulatory frameworks.

[301]\nThe regulation of artificial intelligence is the development\nof public sector policies and laws for promoting and\nregulating AI; it is therefore related to the broader regulation\nof algorithms. [302] The regulatory and policy landscape for\nAI is an emerging issue in jurisdictions globally. [303]\n[According to AI Index at Stanford, the annual number of](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford)\nAI-related laws passed in the 127 survey countries jumped\nfrom one passed in 2016 to 37 passed in 2022\nalone.

[215] This convinced many users that the misinformation was true,\nand ultimately undermined trust in institutions, the media and the government. [216] The AI program had\ncorrectly learned to maximize its goal, but the result was harmful to society. After the U.S. election in\n2016, major technology companies took steps to mitigate the problem .\n[In 2022, generative AI began to create images, audio, video and text that are indistinguishable from real](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_AI)\nphotographs, recordings, films, or human writing.

The report states that power\ndemand for these uses might double by 2026, with additional electric power usage equal to electricity\nused by the whole Japanese nation. [204]\nProdigious power consumption by AI is responsible for the growth of fossil fuels use, and might delay\nclosings of obsolete, carbon-emitting coal energy facilities. There is a feverish rise in the construction of\ndata centers throughout the US, making large technology firms (e.g., Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon)\ninto voracious consumers of electric power. Projected electric consumption is so immense that there is\nconcern that it will be fulfilled no matter the source. A ChatGPT search involves the use of 10 times the\nelectrical energy as a Google search. The large firms are in haste to find power sources - from nuclear\nenergy to geothermal to fusion. The tech firms argue that - in the long view - AI will be eventually\nkinder to the environment, but they need the energy now. AI makes the power grid more efficient and\n\"intelligent\", will assist in the growth of nuclear power, and track overall carbon emissions, according to\ntechnology firms.

The AI + Energy Summit, scheduled for September 26, 2024, in Washington,\nD.C., will bring together policy makers, energy industry leaders, top government and academic energy researchers, and\ntechnologists to address the challenges of AI’s energy consumption and develop solutions for a resilient and abundant\nenergy future. The event also aims to address the implications of AI and energy for national security and promote\npartnerships between AI and energy stakeholders.\nAI and other emerging technologies can help the United States take the lead in energy areas including maximizing energy\nefficiencies, discovering new materials, and enabling new forms of power generation. AI also has a role to play in\novercoming energy challenges. The Department of Energy (DOE) already uses AI in several areas including advanced\ncomputing, emergency response, environmental modeling, climate forecasting, and materials research.\nSCSP’s recent “Action Plan for U.S. Leadership in Next-Generation Energy,” raises many issues related to AI and energy,\nincluding recommendations for the government to bring America forward. The AI+ Energy Summit will highlight these and\nother issues, and promote collaboration to solve problems. The stakes are high; if the U.S. falls short on energy, American\nadversaries could gain the upper hand in AI leadership, according to SCSP experts.\nVisit scsp.ai to learn more about the AI+Energy Summit and the SCSP’s Next-Generation Energy Action Plan.\nArticle Link\n[https://about.newsusa.com/new-artificial-intelligence-summit-series-begins-with...](https://about.newsusa.com/new-artificial-intelligence-summit-series-begins-with-energy)\n[ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT](https://about.newsusa.com/taxonomy/term/78)\n07/31/2024\n[Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with](https://about.newsusa.com/celebrate-st-patricks-day-with-no-booze-just-pure-irish-fun-and-entertainment)\nNo Booze, Just Pure Irish Fun and\nEntertainment\nMar 06, 2024\nSay Hello to Your Big Break at the\nStapleton Library Job Fair in\n[Vocation, Trade, or Civil Service](https://about.newsusa.com/say-hello-to-your-big-break-at-the-stapleton-library-job-fair-in-vocation-trade-or-civil-service)\nMar 06, 2024\nLocal Artists Collaborate for a\n[Unique Fusion of Groove and](https://about.newsusa.com/local-artists-collaborate-for-a-unique-fusion-of-groove-and-collage)\nCollage\nMar 06, 2024\n[Explore Downtown San Pedro](https://about.newsusa.com/explore-downtown-san-pedro-with-flair-ride-the-iconic-red-car-trolley-for-free)\nwith Flair: Ride the Iconic Red Car", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "news1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Artificial intelligence Goals\n\n## **Artificial intelligence**\n\n### **Ethics**\n\n#### **Risks and harm**\n\n##### **Power needs and environmental impacts**\n\nelectrical power is such that they might max out the electrical grid.

The Company is the second largest office\nfurniture manufacturer in the United States and the nation’s leading\nmanufacturer and marketer of gas- and wood-burning fireplaces.\nFrom 2000 to 2003, the office furniture industry experi-\nenced an unprecedented three-year decline due to the challenging\neconomic environment. In 2003, this decline negatively impacted the\nCompany’s office furniture segment. In contrast, the housing market\nwas at record high levels during 2003, which positively impacted the\nCompany’s hearth segment. The Company outperformed its peers in\nboth segments in which it competes. The Company gained market\nshare by providing strong brands, innovative products and services,\nand greater value to its end-users. Fiscal 2003 also included an extra\nweek of activity due to the Company’s 52/53-week fiscal year.\nNet sales were $1.8 billion in 2003, as compared to $1.7 bil-\nlion in 2002. The increase in net sales reflects the 9% increase in the\nhearth segment and the additional week of business activity. In 2003\nand 2002, the Company recorded restructuring charges and accelerated\ndepreciation related to the closure and consolidation of office furniture\nfacilities totaling $15.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Gross\nmargins increased to 36.4% in 2003 from 35.4% in 2002 due to benefits\nfrom restructuring initiatives and its rapid continuous improvement\nprogram, new products, and increased price realization. The Company\nalso invested aggressively in brand building and selling initiatives in\n2003. Net income was $98.1 million or $1.68 per diluted share in 2003,\nas compared to $91.4 million or $1.55 per diluted share in 2002.\nThe Company generated $141.3 million in cash flow from\noperating activities and increased its cash position, including short-\nterm investments, by $48.6 million to $204.2 million.

The partnership’s local customer base peaked in early 2000 with nearly 12,000 subscribers, then steadily declined to 6,700 by December 31, 2002. The decline was the result of competition with digital technologies and increased competition from national carriers in the area. As a result of the decline in the subscriber base, and the need for extensive capital expenditures to transform the analog network into a digital cellular network, the Company elected to sell its 66% interest in the partnership to one of the minority partners. The agreement was signed in November 2002, and closing was February 28, 2003. The Company’s portion of the net income from its operations for 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $1.2 million, $7.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively.\n##### **DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS**\nIncome from discontinued operations was $22.4 million after taxes, an increase of $15.0 million or 202%. The income from discontinued operations in 2003 includes the sale of the partnership interest in February 2003 and results from the two months of its operations in 2003.\nThe Company adopted FAS 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” effective January 1, 2003, and as a result recorded a charge to earnings for the cumulative effect of this change in accounting of $76 thousand after taxes.\nNet income was $32.1 million, an increase of $27.6 million or 610%. The increase is a result of improved operating results in the PCS operations, the 2002 VeriSign stock loss and the sale of the cellular operations.\n**SHENANDOAH TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**\nThe Company experienced significant bad debt losses in its PCS operations related to the Sprint Clear PaySM program. The program was initially targeted at customers in sub-prime credit classes and did not require a deposit upon activation of service. As a result of default rates that exceeded projections, the Company experienced a substantial increase in bad debt expense, which rose from $1.2 million in 2001 to $4.4 million in 2002. The reinstatement of deposit requirements in April 2002 caused some moderation in bad debt expense by the end of the year. Total PCS bade debt expense for 2002 was $3.7 million of this expense is associated with several large telecommunications customers who filed bankruptcies in 2002.", + "page_start": 50, + "page_end": 51, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "## M A T C H\n\n### H OT !\n\n#### MA T CH\n\n####### **To the Board of Directors and Shareholders, HON INDUSTRIES Inc.:**\n\n7.64% 9.97% 10.21% 10.55% 7.34% 10.21% 9.08%\n$ 50,215 $ 63,796 $ 52,173 $ 37,173 $ 24,419 $ 31,945 $ 26,216\n36.5% 37.50% 37.50% 35.31% 37.27% 37.00% 37.00%\n$ 87,360 $ 106,313 $ 86,955 $ 68,094 $ 41,098 $ 54,393 $ 44,638\n87,360 106,313 86,955 68,094 41,098 54,156 45,127\n4.85% 6.23% 6.38% 6.82% 4.60% 6.43% 5.78%\n$ 23,112 $ 19,730 $ 16,736 $ 14,970 $ 14,536 $ 13,601 $ 12,587\n64,248 86,583 37,838 33,860 18,863 13,563 17,338\n87,360 106,313 86,955 68,094 41,098 54,156 45,127\n18.14% 25.20% 27.43% 29.06% 20.00% 28.95% 26.35%\n$ 65,453 $ 52,999 $ 35,610 $ 25,252 $ 21,416 $ 19,042 $ 16,631\n26.46% 18.56% 19.25% 21.98% 35.37% 25.11% 27.89%\n73.54% 81.44% 80.75% 78.02% 64.63% 74.89% 72.11%\n$ 316,556 $ 290,329 $ 295,150 $ 205,527 $ 194,183 $ 188,810 $ 188,419\n225,123 217,438 200,759 152,553 128,915 111,093 110,759\n91,433 72,891 94,391 52,974 65,268 77,717 77,660\n455,591 444,177 341,030 234,616 210,033 177,844 157,770\n906,723 864,469 754,673 513,514 409,518 372,568 352,405\n16.94% 23.74% 28.27% 25.93% 17.91% 24.72% 22.14%\n$ 124,173 $ 135,563 $ 134,511 $ 77,605 $ 42,581 $ 45,877 $ 45,916\n501,271 462,022 381,662 252,397 216,235 194,640 179,553\n416,034 351,786 265,203 227,365 193,505 174,642 161,079\n1.41 1.34 1.47 1.35 1.51 1.70 1.70\n60,171,753 61,289,618 61,659,316 59,426,530 60,788,674 61,349,206 63,351,692\n60,854,579 61,649,531 59,779,508 60,228,590 60,991,284 62,435,450 64,181,088\n6,737 5,877 5,399 5,319 5,479 5,556 4,653\n$ 71,474 $ 149,717 $ 85,491 $ 44,684 $ 53,879 $ 35,005 $ 27,541\n10,095 9,824 (b) 9,390 (b) 6,502 (b) 5,933 6,131 6,257\n*(a)* *Per SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company has ceased recoding of goodwill and indefinite-lived Intangible amortization.*\n*(b)* *Includes acquisitions completed during year.*\n58\nR EP OR T OF I NDEP ENDENT A UDI T OR S\n####### **To the Board of Directors and Shareholders, HON INDUSTRIES Inc.:**\nIn our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash\nflows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HON INDUSTRIES Inc. and its subsidiaries at January 3, 2004, and\nDecember 28, 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2004, and December 28, 2002,\nin conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The decrease was primarily the result of declining lease rates associated with competitive pricing pressure, and the economic downturn in the telecommunications industry.\nincreased again on July 1, 2002 to $6.50, and comparable rate increases also impacted business subscribers.

Gains and losses on external investments contributed $21.7 million to this change from 2002 to 2001.\nNon-operating income was a loss of $0.1 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, primarily due to losses recorded for the Company’s portfolio of investments, offset by an increase in patronage equity earned from CoBank, the Company’s primary lender.\nNet losses on investments were $10.0 million, compared to a gain of $12.9 million from 2001.

Advertising expense was $4.3 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 55.8%. This change was primarily due to the stepped-up and ongoing marketing efforts to support the PCS operations in the Quad State market and particularly the Central Penn market. PCS sales staff expenses were $2.7 million, an increase of $0.7 million or 32.7%. The increase was principally due to the full year operations of the three retail locations and adding additional sales staff.\nDepreciation and amortization expense was $14.5 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 28.6%.

It is our steady and consistent focus on the fundamentals that has\nenabled us to build strength and create an environment for growth, through favorable or unfavorable conditions in the\nmarket and the economy.\n####### **We manage our assets and resources carefully.**\nOur financial strategy centers on building the strength and stability that will position our company for\nongoing growth. We approach the management of our resources with discipline and diligence, striking the\nbalance that allows us to accomplish our objectives: Funding the current needs of the business, maintaining a\nstrong financial foundation, and investing in the resources, technology and assets that will ensure operating\nefficiency and fuel future growth. The soundness of this strategy was reflected once again in our financial\nresults for 2003.\nFor the fifth consecutive year, Atrion’s earnings per diluted share from continuing operations increased\nby more than 15 percent, rising from $2.18 in 2002 to $2.66 in 2003, a 22 percent improvement. In light of\nthe economic pressures which have challenged virtually every business in recent years, we view five\nconsecutive years of EPS growth—ranging from 16 percent to over 50 percent—as a sign of solid financial\nstrength and a testament to the viability of our strategy.

We believe it is vital to keep a pipeline of\nproducts in various stages of development so that we can take advantage of near- and long-term opportunities\nin our markets. Understandably, proposed new products for the health care industry must undergo stringent\ntesting and rigorous approval procedures. Often, this means that the process of bringing a new product from\nthe design stage to the marketplace is a long and arduous one.

The Company’s gross profit in 2003 was 35\npercent of revenues compared with 34 percent of revenues in 2002 and 38 percent of revenues in 2001. The increase in gross profit percentage in 2003\nA N D A N A L Y S I S O F F I N A N C I A L C O N D I T I O N A N D R E S U L T S O F O P E R A T I O N S\nfrom the prior year was primarily due to the above-mentioned improvement in manufacturing variances. The decline in gross profit percentage\nin 2002 from the prior year was primarily due to the unfavorable shift in product mix.\nOperating expenses were $15.3 million in 2003, compared with $14.5 million in 2002 and $16.0 million in 2001. The increase in operating expenses in\n2003 from 2002 was primarily attributable to increased general and administrative (“G&A”) and selling (“Selling”) expenses. G&A expenses consist primarily\nof salaries and other related expenses of administrative, executive and financial personnel and outside professional fees. The increase in G&A expenses in\n2003 is primarily attributable to increased insurance costs, compensation and other taxes. The Company anticipates that G&A expenses are likely to increase\nin the foreseeable future but at a rate less than the anticipated rate of increase in revenues. Selling expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and\nother related expenses for sales and marketing personnel, marketing, advertising and promotional expenses. The increase in Selling expenses in 2003 is\nprimarily related to increased compensation costs and travel related expenses. The Company anticipates that Selling expenses are likely to increase in the\nforeseeable future but at a rate less than the anticipated rate of increase in revenues. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of\nsalaries and other related expenses of the research and development personnel as well as costs associated with regulatory expenses.

However, the exact nature and scale of these historically\nattested demographic phenomena—and their genetic impact—\nhave been questioned 53 , and have been difficult to test with genetic\napproaches owing to the close relations shared between many groups\nthat were ostensibly involved. Less is understood at further distances\nfrom the Roman frontier owing to a lack of historical accounts. The\nimproved statistical power of time-restricted ancestry in Twigstats\nthus offers an opportunity to revisit these questions.\nTo develop an ancestry model for early medieval individuals (Supple-\nmentary Table 1), we first need a broad characterization of the ancestry\nof the earlier sources from the early Iron Age (EIA) and Roman periods.\nWe use hierarchical UPGMA clustering based on pairwise clade testing\nbetween all individuals, and formally test the cladality of proposed\nancestry groups with qpWave 5 (cladality in this sense means whether\nthey are consistent with being symmetrically related to all other tested\ngroups; Methods).

The increase in revenues from 1999 to 2000 is primarily due to two\nfactors: (1) a $10.4 million increase in Network Services Segment revenues resulting from the\ni n c rease in transaction volumes in the Company owned ATMs and an increase in the number of AT M s\noperated by the Company during this period; and (2) an increase of $800,000 in Software Solutions\nSegment revenues. The increase in revenues from 1998 to 1999 is primarily due to two factors: (1) a\n$15.0 million increase in Network Services Segment revenues resulting from the increase in\ntransaction volume attributable to an increase in the number of ATMs operated by the Company\nduring this period; and (2) the addition of $14.6 million of Software Solutions Segment re v e n u e s .\nRevenues for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 are discussed more fully in the Segment\nResults of Operations sections below.\n**Operating Expenses** Total operating expenses increased to $88.1 million for the year ended\nDecember 31, 2000 from $68.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and from $34.5\nmillion for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase from 1999 to 2000 can be broken down\nby segment as follows: (1) a $3.5 million increase in Network Services Segment operating costs due to growth in the size of the network\noperations; (2) a $15.2 million increase in Software Services Segment due to write down of intangibles of $11.2 million and investment in\npersonnel and re s o u rces; and (3) a $1.1 million increase in Corporate Services Segment operating costs due to the expended operations. The\ni n c rease from 1998 to 1999 can be broken down by segment as follows: (1) a $13.0 million increase in Network Services Segment operating costs,\n(2) the addition of $19.6 million of Software Solutions Segment operating costs, and (3) a $1.2 million increase in Corporate Services Segment\noperating costs.

Customer support costs were $7.8 million, an increase of $2.8 million or 55.3%. The growth in Sprint wireless subscribers was the primary driver for this increase. Advertising expense was $4.3 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 55.8%. This change was primarily due to the stepped-up and ongoing marketing efforts to support the PCS operations in the Quad State market and particularly the Central Penn market. PCS sales staff expenses were $2.7 million, an increase of $0.7 million or 32.7%. The increase was principally due to the full year operations of the three retail locations and adding additional sales staff.\nDepreciation and amortization expense was $14.5 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 28.6%. The PCS operation had depreciation expense of $8.6 million, an increase of $3.6 million or 72.7%.

Travel expense, generated by the Company’s PCS subscribers’ use of minutes on other providers’ portions of the Sprint wireless network, was $10.7 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 8.4%. The increase in customer travel usage more than offset the travel rate explained above in travel revenue. Plant specific costs were $9.6 million, which include the operation, and maintenance of the networks increased $2.3 million or 30.7%. Tower, building, and land rentals, as well as PCS equipment maintenance, were major contributors to the increase in plant specific expenses. Other network costs such as power, network administration, and engineering, were $2.7 million, the same as in 2001.\nCost of goods and services was $10.5 million, an increase of $3.1 million or 41.8%. The PCS cost of goods sold was $8.3 million, an increase of $2.8 million or 50.2%. This change is due primarily to higher volumes of handsets sold through Company owned stores and PCS handset subsidies paid to third-party retailers.

An ontology describes the concepts in the domain and also the relationships that hold between those concepts. Different ontology languages provide different facilities. The most recent development in standard ontology languages is OWL from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). A good primer on the basic concepts of OWL can be found at: [https://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-primer/](https://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-primer/)\nOWL makes it possible to describe concepts in an unambiguous manner based on set theory and logic. Complex concepts can be built up out of simpler concepts. The logical model allows the use of a reasoner which can check whether all of the statements and definitions in the ontology are mutually consistent and can also recognize which concepts fit under which definitions. The reasoner can therefore help to maintain the hierarchy correctly. This is particularly useful when dealing with cases where classes can have more than one parent. The reasoner can also infer additional information. For example, if two properties are inverses only one value needs to be asserted by the user and the inverse value will be automatically inferred by the reasoner.\n3.1 Components of OWL Ontologies An OWL ontology consists of Classes, Properties, and Individuals. OWL ontologies are an implementation of Description Logic (DL) which is a decidable subset of First Order Logic. A class in OWL is a set, a property is a binary relation, and an individual is an element of a set. Other concepts from set theory are also implemented in OWL such as Disjoint sets, the Empty set ( owl:Nothing ), inverse\n\n1 [http://protege.stanford.edu](http://protege.stanford.edu/)\n7\nrelations, transitive relations, and many more. An understanding of the basic concepts of set theory will help the user get the most out of OWL but is not required. One of the benefits of Protégé is that it presents an intuitive GUI that enables domain experts to define models without a background in set theory. However, developers are encouraged to refresh their knowledge on logic and set theory. A good source is the first 3 chapters in Elements of the Theory of Computation by Lewis and Papadamitrious. Another good source is the PDF document *Overview of Set Theory* available at: [https://www.michaeldebellis.com/post/owl-theoretical-basics](https://www.michaeldebellis.com/post/owl-theoretical-basics)", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 7, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### universal restriction:\n\n###### **Exercise 22: Create a Defined Class called VegetarianPizza**\n\nIn most languages using the CWA we assume that everything that is currently known about the system is already in the database. However, OWL was meant to be a language to bring semantics to the Internet so the language designers chose the OWA. The open world assumption means that we cannot assume\nsomething doesn’t exist just because it isn’t currently in the ontology. The Internet is an open system. The\ninformation could be out there in some data source that hasn’t yet been integrated into our ontology. Thus, we can’t conclude some information doesn’t exist unless it is *explicitly stated that it does not exist* . In other words, because something hasn’t been stated to be true, it cannot be assumed to be false — it is assumed that the knowledge just hasn’t been added to the knowledge base. In the case of our pizza ontology, we have stated that MargheritaPizza has toppings that are kinds of MozzarellaTopping\nand also kinds of TomatoTopping . Because of the open world assumption, until we explicitly say that a\nMargheritaPizza only has these kinds of toppings, it is assumed by the reasoner that a\nMargheritaPizza could have other toppings. To specify explicitly that a MargheritaPizza has\ntoppings that are kinds of MozzarellaTopping or kinds of TomatoTopping and only kinds of\nMozzarellaTopping or TomatoTopping , we must add what is known as a closure axiom on the\nhasTopping property.\nIn situations like the above example, a common mistake is to use an intersection instead of a\nunion. For example, CheeseTopping *and* VegetableTopping . Although CheeseTopping\nand Vegetable might be a natural thing to say in English, this logically means something that\nis simultaneously a kind of CheeseTopping and VegetableTopping . This is incorrect\nbecause we have stated that CheeseTopping and VegetableTopping are disjoint classes\nand hence no individual can be an instance of both. If we used such a definition the reasoner\nwould detect the inconsistency.\nIn the above example it might have been tempting to create two universal restrictions — one\nfor CheeseTopping ( ∀ hasTopping CheeseTopping) and one for\nVegetableTopping ( ∀ hasTopping VegetableTopping) .

In chapter 7, we will discuss\nnames and labels in more detail. A best practice is to select one set of naming conventions and\nthen abide by that convention across your organization. For this tutorial we will follow the\nstandard where class and individual names start with a capital letter for each word and do not\ncontain spaces. This is known as CamelBack notation. For example: Pizza , PizzaTopping ,\netc. Also, we will follow the standard that class names are always singular rather than plural.\nE.g., Pizza rather than Pizzas, PizzaTopping rather than PizzaToppings .\n5. One last thing we want to do is to configure the reasoner. By default, the reasoner does not perform all possible inferences because some inferences can take a long time for large and complex ontologies. In this tutorial we will always be dealing with small and simple ontologies so we want to see everything the reasoner can do. Go to: Reasoner>Configure. This will bring up a dialog with several check boxes of\ninferences that the reasoner can perform. If they aren’t all checked then check them all. You may receive\na warning that some inferences can take a lot of time, but you can ignore those since your ontology will be small.\n_____________________________________________________________________________________", + "page_start": 15, + "page_end": 16, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n#### [A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/351037551_A_Practical_Guide_to_Building_OWL_Ontologies_Using_Protege_55_and_Plugins?enrichId=rgreq-7ed60925595faf4aa7e40c17bac992b1-XXX&enrichSource=Y292ZXJQYWdlOzM1MTAzNzU1MTtBUzoxMDE1MTA5MzkyNTUxOTM4QDE2MTkwMzIzNDc4MTg%3D&el=1_x_3&_esc=publicationCoverPdf)\n**Preprint** · April 2021\nCITATIONS\n0\nREADS\n36,030\n**1 author:**\n[Michael Debellis](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Michael-Debellis?enrichId=rgreq-7ed60925595faf4aa7e40c17bac992b1-XXX&enrichSource=Y292ZXJQYWdlOzM1MTAzNzU1MTtBUzoxMDE1MTA5MzkyNTUxOTM4QDE2MTkwMzIzNDc4MTg%3D&el=1_x_5&_esc=publicationCoverPdf)\n**21** PUBLICATIONS **194** CITATIONS\n[SEE PROFILE](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Michael-Debellis?enrichId=rgreq-7ed60925595faf4aa7e40c17bac992b1-XXX&enrichSource=Y292ZXJQYWdlOzM1MTAzNzU1MTtBUzoxMDE1MTA5MzkyNTUxOTM4QDE2MTkwMzIzNDc4MTg%3D&el=1_x_7&_esc=publicationCoverPdf)\nAll content following this page was uploaded by [Michael Debellis](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Michael-Debellis?enrichId=rgreq-7ed60925595faf4aa7e40c17bac992b1-XXX&enrichSource=Y292ZXJQYWdlOzM1MTAzNzU1MTtBUzoxMDE1MTA5MzkyNTUxOTM4QDE2MTkwMzIzNDc4MTg%3D&el=1_x_10&_esc=publicationCoverPdf) on 21 April 2021.\nThe user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file.\n1", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### Chapter 3 What are OWL Ontologies?\n\n3.1.1 Individuals Individuals represent objects in the domain of interest. An important difference between OWL and most programming and knowledge representation languages is that OWL does not use the Unique Name Assumption (UNA). This means that two different names could actually refer to the same individual. For\nexample, “Queen Elizabeth”, “The Queen” and “Elizabeth Windsor” might all refer to the same\nindividual. In OWL, it must be explicitly stated that individuals are the same as each other, or different from each other. Figure 3.1 shows a representation of some individuals in a domain of people, nations, and relations — in this tutorial we represent individuals as diamonds.\n\nFigure 3.1: Representation of Individuals\nMichael\nJenna\nDiane\nTim\nUSA\nIndia\nItaly\nIndividuals are also known as *instances* . Individuals can be referred to as *instances of classes* .\nFigure 3.2: Representation of Properties\nMichael\nBiswanath\nlivesIn\nIndia\nhasFriend\n8\n3.1.2 Properties Properties are binary relations between individuals. I.e., properties link two individuals together. For example, the property hasFriend might link the individual Biswanath to the individual Michael , or\nthe property hasChild might link the individual Michael to the individual Oriana . Properties can have\ninverses. For example, the inverse of hasChild is hasParent . Properties can be limited to having a\nsingle value - i.e., to being functional. They can also be transitive or symmetric. These property characteristics are explained in detail in Section 4.8. Figure 3.2 shows a representation of some properties.\n\n3.1.3 Classes OWL classes are sets that contain individuals. They are described using formal (mathematical) descriptions that rigorously define the requirements for membership of the class. For example, the class Cat would contain all the individuals that are cats in our domain of interest. 2 Classes may be organized\ninto a superclass-subclass hierarchy, which is also known as a taxonomy. However, taxonomies are often trees. I.e., each node has only one parent node. Class hierarchies in OWL are not restricted to be trees and multiple inheritance can be a powerful tool to represent data in an intuitive manner.", + "page_start": 7, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### Chapter 3 What are OWL Ontologies?\n\nSubclasses specialize (aka *are subsumed by* ) their superclasses. For example, consider the classes Animal\nand Dog - Dog might be a subclass of Animal (so Animal is the superclass of Dog ). This says that *All*\n*dogs are animals* , *All members of the class* Dog *are members of the class* Animal . OWL and Protégé\n\n2 Individuals can belong to more than one class and classes can have more than one superclass. Unlike OOP where\nmultiple inheritance is typically unavailable or discouraged it is common in OWL.\nProperties are similar to properties in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). However, there are\nimportant differences between properties in OWL and OOP. The most important difference is that OWL\nproperties are first class entities that exist independent of classes. OOP developers are encouraged to\nread: [https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/SE/ODSD/](https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/BestPractices/SE/ODSD/)\nMichael\nOriana\nhasChild\nPerson Country\nUSA\nItaly India\nlivesIn\nBuddy\nRover\nDog\nhasPet\nFigure 3.3: Representation of Classes containing Individuals\n9\nprovide a language that is called Description Logic or DL for short. One of the key features of DL is that these superclass-subclass relationships (aka subsumption relationships) can be computed automatically by a reasoner - more on this later. Figure 3.3 shows a representation of some classes containing individuals - classes are represented as ovals, like sets in Venn diagrams.\nIn OWL classes can be built up of descriptions that specify the conditions that must be satisfied by an individual for it to be a member of the class.

Protégé\n\nTo start we need to export the ontology to a file. Note that one of the tabs at the top is History. Select that tab. This tab shows a list of each version of the ontology. There should be 2 versions labelled R1 and R2 (in the right corner of each version). The most recent version is always at the top since that is typically what you want although it is also possible to roll back changes to previous versions. We want to export the latest version R2. Click on the R2 icon. This should give you a drop-down menu with two options: Revert changes in revision 2 and Download revision 2. Select Download revision 2. This will prompt you with the standard file browser for your OS to save a zip file with the new ontology. The ontology is saved with a zip file because ontologies can be large and since Web Protégé is working over a network we may want to limit the network traffic for large ontologies. Select the appropriate place to save the Zip archive file on the machine where you have Protégé. Do the standard things you would do to unzip the file and load it into Protégé. Note that when you unzip the file it will create a directory as well, so the file won’t be directly under whatever directory you save it to. Instead, there will be a directory titled something like pizza-with-data-ontologies-owl-REVISION-2 that the OWL file will be in.\nLoad the downloaded file into Protégé. Go to the Class hierarchy tab and navigate to the new ChicagoPizza class under NamedPizza. Add the axiom (refer back to chapter 4 if you need to remember how to add axioms to classes) hasBase some DeepPanBase. Save the file. Now go back to Web Protégé and your version of the Pizza ontology there. Note that in the upper right corner of the window there are links (drop down menus) such as Display and Project. Select Project and from the drop down menu select Apply External Edits. This will give you a small dialog titled Upload ontologies with a little button to Choose File. Click on Choose File. That will give you the standard OS dialog for selecting a file. Navigate to the file you saved from Protégé and select that then choose OK. That should result in a new pop-up window titled Merge ontologies where you will see the changes (in this case only the addition of the ChicagoPizza axiom) and a text box where you can describe the changes.

I.e., no individual can be an instance of more than one of those classes. In set theory terminology the intersection of these three classes is the empty set: owl:Nothing .\n###### **Exercise 6: Make Pizza, PizzaTopping, and PizzaBase disjoint from each other**\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\n1. Select the class Pizza in the class hierarchy.\n2. Find the Disjoint With option in the Description view and select the (+) sign next to it. See the red circle in figure 4.6.\n3. This should bring up a dialog with two tabs: Class hierarchy and Expression editor. You want Class hierarchy for now (we will use the expression editor later). This gives you an interface to select a class that is identical to the Class hierarchy view. Use it to navigate to PizzaBase. Hold down the shift key and select PizzaBase and PizzaTopping. Select OK.\n4. Do a Reasoner>Synchronize reasoner. Then look at PizzaBase and PizzaTopping . You should see\nthat they each have the appropriate disjoint axioms defined to indicate that each of these classes is disjoint with the other two.\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\n\nFigure 4.6: The Disjoint Option in the Class Description View\n\n4.4 Using Create Class Hierarchy In this section we will use Tools>Create class hierarchy to create multiple classes at once.\nOWL classes are assumed to overlap, i.e., by default they are not disjoint. This is often useful\nbecause in OWL, unlike in most object-oriented models, multiple inheritance is not discouraged\nand can be a powerful tool to model data. If we want classes to be disjoint, we must explicitly\ndeclare them to be so. It is often a good development strategy to start with classes that are not\ndisjoint and then make them disjoint once the model is more fully fleshed out as it is not always\nobvious which classes are disjoint from the beginning.\n\nFigure 4.7: The Create class hierarchy wizard\n\n###### **Exercise 7: Use the Create class hierarchy tool to create subclasses of PizzaBase**\n_____________________________________________________________________________________", + "page_start": 16, + "page_end": 18, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf", + "query": "Concerning ontologies, what is an anonymous class ?", + "target_page": 30, + "target_passage": "They are created by the reasoner when you use class expressions.

For example, the class of individuals that only have hasTopping relations to instances of the class VegetableTopping .\nIn OWL they keyword only is used for universal restrictions.\n\nLet’s take a closer look at an example of an existential restriction. The restriction hasTopping some\nMozzarellaTopping is an existential restriction (as indicated by the some keyword), which restricts the\nhasTopping property, and has a filler MozzarellaTopping . This restriction describes the class of\nindividuals that have at least one hasTopping relationship to an individual that is a member of the class\nMozzarellaTopping .\n\n6 These have the same meaning as existential and universal quantification in First Order Logic.\nA restriction always describes a class. Sometimes (as we will soon see) it can be a defined class.\nOther times it may be an anonymous class. In all cases the class contains all of the individuals\nthat satisfy the restriction, i.e., all of the individuals that have the relationships required to be a\nmember of the class. In section 9.2 one of our SPARQL queries will return several anonymous\nclasses.\n\nThe restrictions for a class are displayed and edited using the Class Description View shown in Figure 4.17. The Class Description View holds most of the information used to describe a class. The Class Description View is a powerful way of describing and defining classes. It is one of the most important differences between describing classes in OWL and in other models such as most object-oriented programming languages. In other models there is no formal definition that describes why one class is a subclass of another, in OWL there is. Indeed, the OWL classifier can actually redefine the class hierarchy based on the logical restrictions defined by the user. We will see an example of this later in the tutorial.\n\n4.10.2 Existential Restrictions An existential restriction describes a class of individuals that have at least one (some) relationship along a specified property to an individual that is a member of a specified class or datatype. For example, hasBase some PizzaBase describes all of the individuals that have at least one relationship along the\nhasBase property to an individual that is a member of the class PizzaBase — in more natural English,", + "page_start": 30, + "page_end": 31, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### universal restriction:\n\n###### **Exercise 22: Create a Defined Class called VegetarianPizza**\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\n1. Select the Pizza in the Classes tab. Create a subclass of Pizza and name it VegetarianPizza .\n2. Make sure VegetarianPizza is selected. Click on the Add icon (+) next to the SubClass Of field in the Description view.\n3. Select the Class expression editor tab from the pop-up window. Type in the Description Logic axiom: hasTopping only (VegetableTopping or CheeseTopping). Click on OK.\n4. Make sure VegetarianPizza is still selected. Run the Edit>Convert to defined class command.\n5. VegetarianPizza should now have three horizontal lines through it just as CheesyPizza does.\nAlso, the Equivalent To field in the Description view should have: Pizza and (hasTopping only (CheeseTopping or VegetableTopping)). Note that another way to create defined classes is to enter the Description Logic axiom directly into the Equivalent To field.\n6. Synchronize the reasoner.\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\n\nThis means that if something is a member of the class VegetarianPizza it is necessary for it\nto be a kind of Pizza and it is necessary for it to only ( ∀ universal quantifier) have toppings that\nare kinds of CheeseTopping or kinds of VegetableTopping . In other words, all\nhasTopping relationships that individuals which are members of the class VegetarianPizza\nparticipate in must be to individuals that are either members of the class CheeseTopping or\nVegetableTopping . The class VegetarianPizza also contains individuals that are Pizzas\nand do not participate in any hasTopping relationships.\n\n4.13 Automated Classification and Open World Reasoning Make sure that the reasoner is synchronized (the little text in the lower right corner should say Reasoner active). Now switch from the Class hierarchy tab to the Class hierarchy (inferred) tab. You may notice something that seems perplexing. The classes MargheritaPizza and SohoPizza both only have\nvegetable and cheese toppings. So one might expect that the reasoner would classify them as subclasses of VegetarianPizza as it recently (in section 4.11) classified them and others as subclasses of\nCheesyPizza . The reason this didn’t happen is something called the Open World Assumption (OWA).\nThis is one of the concepts of OWL that can be most confusing for new and even experienced users because it is different than the Close World Assumption (CWA) used in most other programming and knowledge representation languages.", + "page_start": 41, + "page_end": 42, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### 8.1 Get Familiar with the Larger Ontology\n\n###### **Exercise 33: Try Some Description Logic Queries**\n\nThe foundation for RDF graphs are triples consisting of a subject, predicate, and object. This results in what is called an undirected or network graph because objects can be subjects and vice versa. Whenever you define a property in OWL you are defining a predicate. An individual can be a subject or an object (or both). E.g., in our ontology Customer1 purchasedPizza AmericanaHotPizza1 . In this example\nCustomer1 is the subject, purchasedPizza is the predicate and AmericanaHotPizza1 is the object.\nHowever, classes and properties themselves are also represented as triples. So for example, when you create the class Pizza what Protégé does for you is to add the triple: Pizza rdf:type owl:Class to\nthe ontology. I.e., the Pizza entity is of type (is an instance of) owl:Class . Similarly when you add\nNamedPizza as a subclass of Pizza , Protégé adds the triple: NamedPizza rdfs: **s** ubClassOf\nPizza .\nHopefully, now you can make some sense of this initial query. The query is looking for all the entities that are the subjects of triples where the predicate is rdfs: **s** ubClassOf and the object is any other\nentity. The *?* before a name indicates that the name is a wildcard that can match anything that fits with the rest of the pattern. This is part of the power of SPARQL, one can match a Subject, an Object, a Predicate or even all three. Making all 3 parts of the pattern wildcards would return every triple in the graph (in this case our entire Pizza ontology) being searched. You may notice that in some cases the object is simply the name of a class while in others it is a class expression with an orange circle in front of it. This is because when defining classes using DL axioms Protégé creates anonymous classes that correspond to various DL axioms.\nThe SELECT part of a SPARQL query determines what data to display. The WHERE part of a query determines what to match in the query. If you want to display everything matched in the WHERE clause you can just use a * for the SELECT clause. The initial default query in this tab is set up with no knowledge of the specific ontology. I.e., it will return all the classes that are subclasses of other classes regardless of the ontology.

The idea of a design pattern is to capture a reusable model that is at a higher level of abstraction than a specific code library. One of the first and most common design patterns was the Model-View-Controller pattern first used in Smalltalk and now almost the default standard for good user interface design. Since there are significant differences between OWL and standard OOP the many excellent books on OOP design patterns don’t directly translate into OWL design patterns. Also, since the use of OWL is more recent than OOP there does not yet exist the excellent documentation of OWL patterns that the OOP community has. However, there are already many design patterns that have been documented for OWL and that can provide users with ways to save time and to standardize their designs according to best practices.\nOne of the most common OWL design patterns is an enumerated class. When a property has only a few possible values it can be useful to create a class to represent those values and to explicitly define the class by listing each possible value. We will show an example of such an enumerated class by creating a new\nproperty called hasSpiciness with only a few possible values ranging from Mild to Hot . In this\nsection we will also create the first individuals in our ontology.\n###### **Exercise 24: Create an Enumerated Class to Represent the Spiciness of a Pizza**\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\n1. Create a new subclass of owl:Thing called Spiciness .\n2. Make sure that Spiciness is selected. Click on the Add icon (+) next to the Instances field in the Description view.\n3. You will be prompted with a window that looks like figure 4.24. The diamond icon at the top is for creating a new individual. The circle with an X through it is for deleting an individual. Use the diamond icon to create 3 individuals: Hot, Medium, and Mild, so your UI looks like figure 4.24, then click on OK.\n4. You may notice that only one of the new individuals was actually created as an instance of Spiciness . That’s okay.

If you go to that tab, you will see many new individuals. In addition to Employees and Customers there\nare instances of the Pizza class. You can see all these individuals in the Individuals by type (inferred)\nview in the upper right corner.\nNow with more instances you can see the value of the Individuals by type (inferred) view. You can expand and contract various classes and see the instances for them 10 . Notice that the 4 HighCaloriePizzas are also instances of Pizza but they aren’t shown under Pizza because all\ninstances of HighCaloriePizza are always instances of the Pizza class. There is only one instance of\nthe Pizza class displayed because all the other instances of Pizza are also instances of subclasses of\nPizza so they are shown under those subclasses rather than under Pizza . If there are two or more\nclasses that an Individual is an instance of that aren’t subclasses of each other then they will all be shown.\nFor example, MargheritaPizza1 is an instance of both MargheritaPizza and LowCaloriePizza\nand it shows up under each class because neither is a subclass of the other. It is possible for a Pizza to be\na LowCaloriePizza and not be a MargheritaPizza and vice-versa.\n\n10 Note that if you have an instance of a class selected in the Individuals by type (inferred) view, you won’t be able\nto collapse that class. E.g., in figure 8.2 we wouldn’t be able to collapse the Employee class because one of its\ninstances ( Chef ) is selected. To collapse it just select a different instance that isn’t an instance of the class you\nwant to collapse.\n\nFigure 8.2 Viewing the New Instances in the Individuals by Class tab\nChapter 9 Queries: Description Logic and SPARQL Now that we have some individuals in our ontology, we can do some interesting queries. There are several tools for doing queries in Protégé.\n9.1 Description Logic Queries To start with the most straight forward one based on what you have already learned are Description Logic (DL) queries. These are essentially the same kind of statements you have been using to define classes. However, in addition to using such statements to define a class you can use it as a query.", + "page_start": 64, + "page_end": 66, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### universal restriction:\n\n###### **Exercise 22: Create a Defined Class called VegetarianPizza**\n\nIn most languages using the CWA we assume that everything that is currently known about the system is already in the database. However, OWL was meant to be a language to bring semantics to the Internet so the language designers chose the OWA. The open world assumption means that we cannot assume\nsomething doesn’t exist just because it isn’t currently in the ontology. The Internet is an open system. The\ninformation could be out there in some data source that hasn��t yet been integrated into our ontology. Thus, we can’t conclude some information doesn’t exist unless it is *explicitly stated that it does not exist* . In other words, because something hasn’t been stated to be true, it cannot be assumed to be false — it is assumed that the knowledge just hasn’t been added to the knowledge base. In the case of our pizza ontology, we have stated that MargheritaPizza has toppings that are kinds of MozzarellaTopping\nand also kinds of TomatoTopping . Because of the open world assumption, until we explicitly say that a\nMargheritaPizza only has these kinds of toppings, it is assumed by the reasoner that a\nMargheritaPizza could have other toppings. To specify explicitly that a MargheritaPizza has\ntoppings that are kinds of MozzarellaTopping or kinds of TomatoTopping and only kinds of\nMozzarellaTopping or TomatoTopping , we must add what is known as a closure axiom on the\nhasTopping property.\nIn situations like the above example, a common mistake is to use an intersection instead of a\nunion. For example, CheeseTopping *and* VegetableTopping . Although CheeseTopping\nand Vegetable might be a natural thing to say in English, this logically means something that\nis simultaneously a kind of CheeseTopping and VegetableTopping . This is incorrect\nbecause we have stated that CheeseTopping and VegetableTopping are disjoint classes\nand hence no individual can be an instance of both. If we used such a definition the reasoner\nwould detect the inconsistency.\nIn the above example it might have been tempting to create two universal restrictions — one\nfor CheeseTopping ( ∀ hasTopping CheeseTopping) and one for\nVegetableTopping ( ∀ hasTopping VegetableTopping) .

Note that when a class is a defined class it is shown in the UI with three horizontal stripes in the circle next to its name.\nSo far we have seen the reasoner do simple things such as propagate disjoint axioms from super classes down to subclasses. However, the reasoner is capable of doing much more. Now that we have a defined class we can see an example of this. Notice that there are two tabs in the Class hierarchy view. The one shown in figure 4.21 is the asserted hierarchy. This is the hierarchy as defined by user declared axioms. The other tab is the Class hierarchy (inferred) tab. This is the hierarchy as inferred by the reasoner. Up until we created a defined class the two tabs would be identical because we had only primitive classes in the ontology. Now that we have a defined class the inferred hierarchy will look different. Select the Class hierarchy (inferred) tab. Make sure that the reasoner is synchronized (it should say Reasoner active as in figure 4.21). Also, make sure to expand the CheesyPizza class in this tab. You should see a screen\nsimilar to figure 4.22. As you should see in the inferred tab the reasoner has inferred that all the Pizza\nclasses with a cheese topping are subclasses of CheesyPizza .\nNote that if you just type a few characters, the number of possible completions may be large\nresulting in an unwieldy menu. Also, Protégé doesn’t do things like type checking on possible\ncompletions. For example, if you type “Chee” and do you will be prompted\nwith CheeseTopping and CheesyPizza as possible completions even though a Pizza is not\nin the range of hasTopping . This is where the reasoner can also help. If you enter a class that\nis not in the range of hasTopping the reasoner will signal an inconsistency.\nFigure 4.21 CheesyPizza as a Defined Class\n\nFigure 4.22 Classes Inferred by the Reasoner to be subclasses of CheesyPizza\n4.12 Universal Restrictions All of the restrictions we have created so far have been existential restrictions (defined using the some", + "page_start": 39, + "page_end": 41, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### universal restriction:\n\n###### **Exercise 23: Add a Closure Axiom on the hasTopping Property for MargheritaPizza**\n\nintersection of the individual restrictions.

The restriction has a filler that is the union of the fillers that occur in the existential restrictions for the property. For example, the closure axiom on the hasTopping property for\nMargheritaPizza is a universal restriction that acts along the hasTopping property, with a filler that\nis the union of MozzarellaTopping and also TomatoTopping . i.e. hasTopping only\n(MozzarellaTopping or TomatoTopping) .\n###### **Exercise 23: Add a Closure Axiom on the hasTopping Property for MargheritaPizza**\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\n1.

The idea of a design pattern is to capture a reusable model that is at a higher level of abstraction than a specific code library. One of the first and most common design patterns was the Model-View-Controller pattern first used in Smalltalk and now almost the default standard for good user interface design. Since there are significant differences between OWL and standard OOP the many excellent books on OOP design patterns don’t directly translate into OWL design patterns. Also, since the use of OWL is more recent than OOP there does not yet exist the excellent documentation of OWL patterns that the OOP community has. However, there are already many design patterns that have been documented for OWL and that can provide users with ways to save time and to standardize their designs according to best practices.\nOne of the most common OWL design patterns is an enumerated class. When a property has only a few possible values it can be useful to create a class to represent those values and to explicitly define the class by listing each possible value. We will show an example of such an enumerated class by creating a new\nproperty called hasSpiciness with only a few possible values ranging from Mild to Hot . In this\nsection we will also create the first individuals in our ontology.\n###### **Exercise 24: Create an Enumerated Class to Represent the Spiciness of a Pizza**\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\n1. Create a new subclass of owl:Thing called Spiciness .\n2. Make sure that Spiciness is selected. Click on the Add icon (+) next to the Instances field in the Description view.\n3.

Use the diamond icon to create 3 individuals: Hot, Medium, and Mild, so your UI looks like figure 4.24, then click on OK.\n4.

This chapter will highlight some of the power of object properties in OWL. We are going to create an ordering for the instances of Spiciness . I.e., Hot isSpicierThan Medium which isSpicierThan\nMild . To start go to the Object properties tab. Create a new property that is a sub-property of\nowl:topObjectProperty. Call this property isSpicierThan. Make its domain and range the Spiciness class. Make the property transitive. Transitive means that if X isSpicierThan Y and Y isSpicierThan Z\nthen X isSpicierThan Z. This is of course similar to the greater than and less than relations in math.\nCreate another property called isMilderThan. Make one property the inverse of the other. It doesn’t matter which one, you only have to specify that one property is the inverse of another, and the reasoner will realize that both are inverses. Run the reasoner. You will see that the reasoner has inferred the domain and range for isMilderThan than as well as the fact that it is transitive and the inverse of isSpicierThan .\nFigure 6.1 Setting isSpicierThan property in the Individuals by class tab\n\nNext go back to the Individuals by class tab. Go to the Individuals by type (inferred) view. You should see the individuals that exist right now. So far we have the example Pizzas you created and the instances of Spiciness: Hot , Medium , and Mild . Click on Hot. Notice that in the Property assertions view in the\nlower right corner the title should now say: Property assertions: Hot. Click on the (+) icon next to Object property assertions. You will be prompted with a form with two areas to input values. The name of the property goes in the left hand side and the value in the right hand side (see figure 6.1). Type in isSpicierThan as the name of the property. Remember you can use auto-complete so you should only need to type *isS* and type and Protégé will fill in the name of the property. Enter Medium as the value. Your UI should look similar to figure 6.1. Select OK. Now click on Medium and set its isSpicierThan value to be Mild . That is all the data entry you need to do.

To begin with navigate to the DL Query tab. If it doesn’t exist create it using: Window>Tabs>DL Query.\n2. At the top right of this tab you should see a view that says DL query: and below it Query (class expression).\n3 You can enter any DL statement you want in this box and then see all the entities that are subclasses, superclasses, and instances of it. As an example, enter: Customer and purchasedPizza some (hasTopping some (hasSpiciness value Hot)). I.e., all Customers who have purchased a Pizza that hasSpiciness\nHot . At first you may not see anything but don’t worry there is one more step.\n4. Look at the check boxes on the right under Query for. Check Superclasses, Subclasses (although it should already be checked by default) and Instances. Now your UI should look like figure 9.1. You may notice that owl:Nothing shows up as a subclass. Don’t worry that is actually expected. Remember that\nowl:Nothing is the empty set and the empty set is a subset of every set (including itself) so just as\nowl:Thing is a superclass of every class owl:Nothing is a subclass of every class. If you don’t want to\nsee owl:Nothing you can uncheck the box toward the bottom right that says Display owl:Nothing.\n5. Try some additional DL queries such as: hasTopping some (hasSpiciness value Hot) and VegetarianPizza and (hasTopping some (hasSpiciness some (isMilderThan value Hot))). Note that with this last query you are taking advantage of the transitive order you defined for the instances of the Spiciness class in chapter 6.\n6. You can also do queries for strings in the names of your entities. For example, first do a query simply with Pizza in the query window. Then type in Hot in the Name contains field. This should give you all the classes and individuals with *Hot* in their name.\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\nFigure 9.1 The DL Query Tab\n\n9.2 SPARQL Queries SPARQL is a powerful language, and one could write a whole book about it. In fact, there are books written about it. The best one I have seen is the O’Reilly book Learning SPARQL by Bob DuCharme. This is an excellent book that not only goes into SPARQL but into topics such as RDF/RDFS and how triples are used to represent all information in OWL. I will only touch on those issues here, there is much more to say about them and DuCharme’s book is a great place to learn more.

With a couple of new\nconstructs this is simple. First, in SPARQL a shortcut to identify the type of any entity is to use the keyword a as the predicate. This is just shorthand for rdf:type . Second, when you have multiple\nstatements in a WHERE clause you need to end each one with a period.\nReplace the current query with the following:\nSELECT *\nWHERE { ?customer a pizza:Customer.\n?customer ?relation ?relatedToCustomer.}\nThis will provide a long list of everything in the graph that is an object of some instance of the Customer\nclass. I.e., any entity that is the object of a predicate with a Customer as the subject.\nSuppose you wanted to count the number of Pizzas purchased by Customers so far. For this you use the SPARQL function COUNT. Here is what it would look like:\nSELECT (COUNT(?pizza) AS ?pcount)\nWHERE {?customer pizza:purchasedPizza ?pizza}\nPaste that into the SPARQL query view and hit Execute and you should see the returned value: 15. However, remember this isn’t really all the Pizzas because a few of the purchases were recorded on the\nPizza rather than on the Customer . To get the full number we can take advantage of the fact that we\nhave recorded the number of pizzas that each customer has purchased and use the SPARQL SUM function. That query would be:\nSELECT (SUM(?pnumber) AS ?psum)\nWHERE { ?customer pizza:numberOfPizzasPurchased ?pnumber}\nThis should give you the correct number of 17.\n9.22 SPARQL and IRI Names If you recall, at the beginning of the tutorial we changed the preference for creating new entities to *user* *supplied name* rather than *auto-generated name* which is the default. Now that you have seen examples of using SPARQL we can explain why. With auto-generated names rather than have names such as Customer or purchasedByCustomer our entities would have names such as\nOWLPropertyA4257yri73ff90rmbx and OWLClass23gkb0tk5kd30tm . Thus, the first query would\nbe something like:\nSELECT * WHERE {?customer pizza:OWLPropertyA4257yri73ff90rmbx ?pizza}\nand the second query would be:\nSELECT *\nWHERE {?customer a pizza:OWLClass23gkb0tk5kd30tm.\n?customer ?relation ?relatedToCustomer.}\nThis would be much less intuitive than the user defined names. There are good reasons to use auto- generated names, especially for large ontologies that are implemented in multiple natural languages. However, for new users, especially those who plan to use SPARQL and SHACL, I think it is more intuitive to start with user supplied names and then progress to auto-generated names if and when the requirements show a true need for them. This approach to developing software incrementally rather than to attempt to design the perfect system that can scale for all possible future requirements is known as the Agile approach to software development. In my experience Agile methods have proven themselves in countless real-world projects to deliver better software on time and on budget than the alternative waterfall approach.

Run the Edit>Convert to defined class command.\n5. VegetarianPizza should now have three horizontal lines through it just as CheesyPizza does.\nAlso, the Equivalent To field in the Description view should have: Pizza and (hasTopping only (CheeseTopping or VegetableTopping)). Note that another way to create defined classes is to enter the Description Logic axiom directly into the Equivalent To field.\n6. Synchronize the reasoner.\n_____________________________________________________________________________________\n\nThis means that if something is a member of the class VegetarianPizza it is necessary for it\nto be a kind of Pizza and it is necessary for it to only ( ∀ universal quantifier) have toppings that\nare kinds of CheeseTopping or kinds of VegetableTopping . In other words, all\nhasTopping relationships that individuals which are members of the class VegetarianPizza\nparticipate in must be to individuals that are either members of the class CheeseTopping or\nVegetableTopping . The class VegetarianPizza also contains individuals that are Pizzas\nand do not participate in any hasTopping relationships.\n\n4.13 Automated Classification and Open World Reasoning Make sure that the reasoner is synchronized (the little text in the lower right corner should say Reasoner active). Now switch from the Class hierarchy tab to the Class hierarchy (inferred) tab. You may notice something that seems perplexing. The classes MargheritaPizza and SohoPizza both only have\nvegetable and cheese toppings. So one might expect that the reasoner would classify them as subclasses of VegetarianPizza as it recently (in section 4.11) classified them and others as subclasses of\nCheesyPizza . The reason this didn’t happen is something called the Open World Assumption (OWA).\nThis is one of the concepts of OWL that can be most confusing for new and even experienced users because it is different than the Close World Assumption (CWA) used in most other programming and knowledge representation languages.", + "page_start": 41, + "page_end": 42, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### Chapter 4 Building an OWL Ontology\n\nThere are no mandatory naming conventions for OWL entities.

One last thing we want to do is to configure the reasoner. By default, the reasoner does not perform all possible inferences because some inferences can take a long time for large and complex ontologies. In this tutorial we will always be dealing with small and simple ontologies so we want to see everything the reasoner can do. Go to: Reasoner>Configure. This will bring up a dialog with several check boxes of\ninferences that the reasoner can perform. If they aren’t all checked then check them all.

If you go to that tab, you will see many new individuals. In addition to Employees and Customers there\nare instances of the Pizza class. You can see all these individuals in the Individuals by type (inferred)\nview in the upper right corner.\nNow with more instances you can see the value of the Individuals by type (inferred) view. You can expand and contract various classes and see the instances for them 10 . Notice that the 4 HighCaloriePizzas are also instances of Pizza but they aren’t shown under Pizza because all\ninstances of HighCaloriePizza are always instances of the Pizza class. There is only one instance of\nthe Pizza class displayed because all the other instances of Pizza are also instances of subclasses of\nPizza so they are shown under those subclasses rather than under Pizza . If there are two or more\nclasses that an Individual is an instance of that aren’t subclasses of each other then they will all be shown.\nFor example, MargheritaPizza1 is an instance of both MargheritaPizza and LowCaloriePizza\nand it shows up under each class because neither is a subclass of the other. It is possible for a Pizza to be\na LowCaloriePizza and not be a MargheritaPizza and vice-versa.\n\n10 Note that if you have an instance of a class selected in the Individuals by type (inferred) view, you won’t be able\nto collapse that class. E.g., in figure 8.2 we wouldn’t be able to collapse the Employee class because one of its\ninstances ( Chef ) is selected. To collapse it just select a different instance that isn’t an instance of the class you\nwant to collapse.\n\nFigure 8.2 Viewing the New Instances in the Individuals by Class tab\nChapter 9 Queries: Description Logic and SPARQL Now that we have some individuals in our ontology, we can do some interesting queries. There are several tools for doing queries in Protégé.\n9.1 Description Logic Queries To start with the most straight forward one based on what you have already learned are Description Logic (DL) queries. These are essentially the same kind of statements you have been using to define classes. However, in addition to using such statements to define a class you can use it as a query.", + "page_start": 64, + "page_end": 66, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### 8.1 Get Familiar with the Larger Ontology\n\n###### **Exercise 33: Try Some Description Logic Queries**\n\nThe foundation for RDF graphs are triples consisting of a subject, predicate, and object. This results in what is called an undirected or network graph because objects can be subjects and vice versa. Whenever you define a property in OWL you are defining a predicate. An individual can be a subject or an object (or both). E.g., in our ontology Customer1 purchasedPizza AmericanaHotPizza1 . In this example\nCustomer1 is the subject, purchasedPizza is the predicate and AmericanaHotPizza1 is the object.\nHowever, classes and properties themselves are also represented as triples. So for example, when you create the class Pizza what Protégé does for you is to add the triple: Pizza rdf:type owl:Class to\nthe ontology. I.e., the Pizza entity is of type (is an instance of) owl:Class . Similarly when you add\nNamedPizza as a subclass of Pizza , Protégé adds the triple: NamedPizza rdfs: **s** ubClassOf\nPizza .\nHopefully, now you can make some sense of this initial query. The query is looking for all the entities that are the subjects of triples where the predicate is rdfs: **s** ubClassOf and the object is any other\nentity. The *?* before a name indicates that the name is a wildcard that can match anything that fits with the rest of the pattern. This is part of the power of SPARQL, one can match a Subject, an Object, a Predicate or even all three. Making all 3 parts of the pattern wildcards would return every triple in the graph (in this case our entire Pizza ontology) being searched. You may notice that in some cases the object is simply the name of a class while in others it is a class expression with an orange circle in front of it. This is because when defining classes using DL axioms Protégé creates anonymous classes that correspond to various DL axioms.\nThe SELECT part of a SPARQL query determines what data to display. The WHERE part of a query determines what to match in the query. If you want to display everything matched in the WHERE clause you can just use a * for the SELECT clause. The initial default query in this tab is set up with no knowledge of the specific ontology. I.e., it will return all the classes that are subclasses of other classes regardless of the ontology.

The application includes information about the format\nof the data, the orientation of data on the page, the paper size, the record length, and the\ncode page of the data. The application also includes parameters that the indexing program\nuses to locate and extract index data and processing instructions that Content Manager\nOnDemand uses to load index data in the database and documents on storage volumes.\n**Application group**\nAn *application group* contains the storage management attributes of and index fields for the\ndata that you load into Content Manager OnDemand. When you load a report into Content\nManager OnDemand, you must identify the application group where Content Manager\nOnDemand loads the index data and stores the documents.\nAn application group is a collection of one or more Content Manager OnDemand applications\nwith common indexing and storage management attributes.

Content Manager OnDemand\noffers a retention feature so that you can set the document retention for a fixed period at the\ndocument ingestion time, for example, an investment company that applies a simple retention\npolicy of eight years to all of their customer statements.\nContent Manager OnDemand does not apply an event-based retention policy that is based\non, for example, the date that the customer closed an account. In this scenario, the clock\ndoes not begin the eight-year period until the customer closes the account. By enabling\nrecords federation services by using Content Federation Services for Content Manager\nOnDemand, you can manage Content Manager OnDemand content in a manner that is\nconsistent with your organization’s records retention policies.\nWhen Content Manager OnDemand content is federated and declared as a record in\nEnterprise Records, Content Manager OnDemand content can be tied to dynamic retention\npolicies, such as account closure, policy termination, contract execution, or any other event.\nIn these circumstances, records federation services can allow your organization to retain\ncontent for a certain amount of time, starting on the date of the event.

SEPA\nreplaced the existing domestic retail credit transfers and direct debits with standardized\nEuropean payments that are based on Extensible Markup Language (XML) International\nOrganization for Standardization (ISO) 20022 messages. ISO 20022 provides a more\nefficient way of developing and implementing messaging standards that financial\ninstitutions and clients use to exchange massive amounts of transactional information.\n� Other XML standards exist and continued to be developed, such as ACORD (Insurance\nindustry), AgXML (Agriculture), and Health Level Seven (Health industry).\n� XML document formats were developed, such as Office Open XML (OOXML) and Open\nDocument (OASIS).\nWith XML indexing, you can automatically batch index and archive XML transactional\nmessages and statements into the Content Manager OnDemand repository. Documents are\nidentified and extracted during indexing. Resources are extracted, and, together with the\ndata, compressed and archived. Multiple stylesheets can be specified to meet device and\naccessibility requirements.\nXML steeliest (resource) archiving is critical. Content Manager OnDemand optimizes the\nstorage of XML data by storing only a single version of a resource and then associating it with\nall of the archived documents. Document resources can be automatically collected and\nmanaged.\nOS/400\nIndexer\nIndex Object\n.ind\nData Object\n.out\nAFP Resource\nObject .res\nOnDemand\nDatabase\nDisk\nStorage\nManager\nCache\nArchive\nStorage Manager\nArchive\nMedia\nApplication\nProgram\nDatabase Manager\nSpooled File Indexer\nParameters\nChapter 7.

For\nexample, the following statement loads the bamboo.in file and its .res file (if found):\narsload -I localhost -u userName -p load.stach -g ci_stmts bamboo,in\nThe XML indexer uses the “Generic XML Index File Format” (GXIFF). The GXIFF format is\nfunctionally similar to the Generic Index File Format in that it allows the loading of any type of\ndata into Content Manager OnDemand.\nFor more information about using the XML indexer, see *IBM Content Manager OnDemand -*\n*Indexing Reference* , SC19-3354.", + "page_start": 205, + "page_end": 206, + "source_file": "sg246915.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#\n\n## Chapter 6.

One or more index values identify a unique document in Content Manager\nOnDemand.\nAn *indexer* extracts the index values and optionally stores them in the index file by examining\nthe documents and copying the index values into the index file according to criteria that are\nspecified by the user. Depending on the indexer that is used, the data and indexes are either\ndirectly loaded into Content Management OnDemand or are stored in a set of files that are\nthen read by the load process to store the data to Content Manager OnDemand. The indexer\ncreates the following files:\n� Output file (. out file extension), which contains the documents to load\n� Index file (. ind file extension), which contains the index values for the documents\nThe indexer might also create a resource file with a .res extension, which contains the\nresources that are extracted from the documents.\nOperationally, the loading process **arsload** calls the indexer that is specified on the Indexer\nInformation tab for the specified application. Depending on the indexer type, **arsload**\nperforms one of the following tasks:\n� Creates a set of files that is then loaded by the **arsload** program into the Content Manager\nOnDemand System\n� Directly passes the indexing and document information to the arsload program so that\nthey can be loaded into the Content Manager OnDemand System\nOn Content Manager OnDemand for i, **arsload** is embedded within the ( **ADDPRPTOND** ) user\ninterface. Therefore, run the Add Report to Content Manager OnDemand ( **ADDPRPTOND** )\ncommand instead of **ARSLOAD** .\nIt is possible for the indexing to complete successfully but for the load to fail. The following\nreasons are the most common reasons for a loading failure:\n� Using insufficient system resources\n� Connecting to the wrong database\n� Extracting the wrong index value from the document\nFor information about investigating and resolving common load failures, see 18.1.2, “Indexing\nand loading issues” on page 379.", + "page_start": 185, + "page_end": 185, + "source_file": "sg246915.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Tivoli Storage Manager Parameters (Object Server Only) #\n\n## **Chapter 3.

When a\nuser views a statement, Content Manager OnDemand retrieves and uncompresses the first\npart of the statement. To view a specific page of a statement, the user can choose the Go To\ncommand in the viewer window and enter the page number. Content Manager OnDemand\nautomatically retrieves and uncompresses the part of the statement that contains the\nrequested page. When the user moves from page to page of a statement, Content Manager\nOnDemand automatically retrieves and uncompresses parts of the statement as needed.\nWhen you use large object support, users experience consistent response time when they\nmove from page to page of the document.\nChapter 3. Administration **53**\nYou must consider several factors when you use large object support:\n� The report must be indexed with an indexing program that generates a large object by\ndividing large documents into smaller parts and defining the indexing information that is\nused to retrieve the documents.\n� The amount of data per page and the number of pages that you divide documents into\naffects retrieval and viewing response time. The number of bytes per page typically\ndictates the number of pages that you can divide documents into. In general, the larger the\npage size in bytes, the smaller the number of pages that you can divide your documents\ninto. For example, if the average page in the document contains 2.5 KB of data, choose\n100 - 1000 pages per Large Object (LO) segment; if the average page in the document\ncontains 50 KB of data, choose 1 - 100 pages per LO segment.\n� The capacity of your network and the traffic in the network might determine the number of\npages that you need to divide your documents into. Larger document sizes (large byte size\neven when compressed) require more network bandwidth (or more time if the bandwidth is\nnot available) to transfer from a Content Manager OnDemand server to a client.

When you define a report or type of data to Content Manager OnDemand, an\nadministrator must perform the following tasks:\n� Create an application and assign the application to an application group.\n� Create or update a folder to use the application group and application so that users can\nsearch for and retrieve documents.\n� Optionally, create or update a cabinet. *Cabinets* are containers for collections of folders.\nThey allow users to manage and navigate folders more easily.\n**Application**\nAn *application* describes the physical characteristics of a report to Content Manager\nOnDemand. Typically, you define an application for each program that produces output to be\nstored in Content Manager OnDemand. The application includes information about the format\nof the data, the orientation of data on the page, the paper size, the record length, and the\ncode page of the data. The application also includes parameters that the indexing program\nuses to locate and extract index data and processing instructions that Content Manager\nOnDemand uses to load index data in the database and documents on storage volumes.\n**Application group**\nAn *application group* contains the storage management attributes of and index fields for the\ndata that you load into Content Manager OnDemand. When you load a report into Content\nManager OnDemand, you must identify the application group where Content Manager\nOnDemand loads the index data and stores the documents.\nAn application group is a collection of one or more Content Manager OnDemand applications\nwith common indexing and storage management attributes.

Performance\n\n### **13.4 Performance issues that are based on data type**\n\n#### **13.4.1 PDF data**\n\nPortable Document Format (PDF) data is an increasingly common data type that can be\narchived within Content Manager OnDemand. The following key advantages are available by\nusing this data type as a document format:\n� It is a read-only format that does not require any external resources, such as images or\nfonts. It is self-contained.\n� The viewer for PDF can be downloaded at no charge from the Adobe website and the\nbrowser plug-ins for PDF are also available at no charge.\nDuring PDF document creation, resources, such as images and custom fonts, are placed in\nthe data stream once and then referenced many times from within the PDF file. If a large\nreport is produced from many small documents, that report requires only one copy of the\nresources.\nHowever, when the PDF is indexed, the PDF Indexer creates many PDF documents from the\ninput file. Each of these documents requires a certain number of PDF structures, which define\na document. These documents are concatenated together in the .out file, and then loaded\ninto Content Manager OnDemand as separate documents. Because the resources are\nextracted and placed into a separate resource file, they are not included in each document.\nFor an illustration of the process, see Figure 13-3.\n*Figure 13-3 PDF indexing*\nIf no resources are collected, the size of the .out file, which contains all of the individual", + "page_start": 331, + "page_end": 331, + "source_file": "sg246915.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#endif\n\n## Chapter 13.

A more practical option for server printing is to store the font in a fontlib\nand to keep only the reference (path) to the fontlib . Although the font is accessible on the\nserver, Print Services Facility (PSF) or InfoPrint does not need the font to be inline (stored in\nthe resource group). The use of this approach also allows all AFP data that references the\nfont to use the single instance of the font without redundant inline storage.\nFigure 13-5 on page 311 shows the indexer information in the application where you can\nselect the resources to collect with the Restype= parameter.

One copy is stored in cache,\nand one copy is stored in the ASMREQUEST directory.\nTo avoid storing a duplicate set of documents in cache for non-AFP data, change Cache\nData to No on the Storage Management tab of your application group definition. To avoid\nstoring a duplicate set of documents in cache for AFP data, you might change Document\nData to No Cache but leave Resource Data in cache for faster retrieval.\n� For IBM i, every user that loads data must have a home directory. If users do not have a\nhome directory, the temporary files are stored in the root directory of the integrated file\nsystem (IFS).\n� If the data source is on a remote system, you can load the data into Content Manager\nOnDemand on the remote system and directly store the export data to the specified\nContent Manager OnDemand library and object server.\nOr, if the data source is on a remote system, you also can upload the data to the specified\nContent Manager OnDemand server through FTP and then load the data on the selected\nContent Manager OnDemand system.\n� For Multiplatforms and z/OS, all file systems must be dedicated file systems that are\nmounted on their own mount points.\n� For z/OS, when you load PDF reports (by using the PDF Indexer), placing the input report\nin the HFS or zFS causes the load to run nearly 50 times faster that compared to the input\nreport that is placed in a VSAM file.", + "page_start": 326, + "page_end": 326, + "source_file": "sg246915.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#endif\n\n## Chapter 13.

In addition to the variable data, external resources, such\nas images, fonts, and logos, are also referenced by the AFP data stream. When Content\nManager OnDemand stores AFP data, the resources are also archived. When the data is\nviewed, the referenced resources are displayed.\nIt is a common misconception that if fonts are collected when the data is loaded, they are\navailable for viewing in the Windows client. However, Windows does not recognize AFP fonts.\nIt is not possible to use these fonts even if they are sent to the client as part of the resource.\nWindows clients require a mapping from AFP fonts to Adobe Type Manager (ATM) fonts or\nTrueType (TT) fonts. Content Manager OnDemand provides this mapping for most standard\nfonts. For more information about mapping custom fonts, see *IBM Content Manager -*\n*Windows Client Customization Guide and Reference* , SC27-0837.\nOne possibly useful implementation of storing fonts with the resource group is when server\nreprint is necessary.

Enterprise Records notifies the Content Manager OnDemand\nrepository when it reaches its event-based expiration. This action passes control to\nContent Manager OnDemand to delete the document unless Enhanced Retention\nManagement is also enabled for the same document. If Enhanced Retention Management\nis also managing the document, it waits until the hold is released before the document is\neligible for deletion.\nWhen you use Enhanced Retention Management or Enterprise Records, Content Manager\nOnDemand must be in complete control of expiration processing. Therefore, if you use IBM\nTivoli Storage Manager or object access method (OAM), you must disable the ability for either\nof these storage managers to expire data. Also, you can use Enhanced Retention\nManagement and FileNet P8 Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand\nonly against application groups that have an expiration type of LOAD. For those application\ngroups that have expiration types of DOCUMENT, SEGMENT, or STORAGE MANAGER,\nutilities are available to convert those application groups to LOAD.

Over the centuries,\nmany types of strength competitions have existed; some of\nwhich have been codi fi ed and endured within modern sport-\ning competitions (e.g., weightlifting, powerlifting, and shot\nput). In addition, professional strongman competitions, such\nas the annually contested “ World ’ s Strongest Man ” event,\ngenerate extensive global interest ( 2 ). Moreover, scienti fi c\nunderstanding of muscular strength is important because of\nits role in athletic performance ( 3 ), injury prevention ( 4 ), and\nhealthy aging ( 5 ). However, our knowledge of extreme human\nstrength is limited.\nTo date, there is little scienti fi c information on the charac-\nteristics of extremely strong humans in terms of laboratory-\nbased tests of strength and power, particularly the size and dis-\ntribution of their muscle mass, as well as tendon size and joint\nmechanics (moment arm). Kraemer et al. ( 6 ) examined the\nbody composition of elite strongman competitors using dual-\nenergy X-ray absorptiometry scanning and found that they\nhad a body mass (153±19 kg) and lean mass (118±12 kg)\napproximately twice that of an average untrained healthy\nyoung man.

Prior to agreeing\nto participate, the purpose of the research study and the test-\ning procedures were explained to the participant along with\nthe risks and bene fi ts of taking part. The participant gave his\nwritten informed consent to participate in the study that was\napproved by the Loughborough University Ethical Advisory\nCommittee (Ethics Number R18-P090). Included in the writ-\nten consent was a statement providing permission for publi-\ncation of the collected data and the likelihood that their\nidentity may be evident based on their achievements and\ncharacteristics, despite anonymization.\n##### Training History\nThe WSM had been continuously involved in systematic,\nregular upper- and lower-body resistance training for 15 yr at\nthe time of testing. In the 12 mo prior to testing, the partici-\npant ’ s resistance training consisted of the following typical\nexercises: lower body: squats, deadlifts, leg press, and knee\nextension; and upper body: bench press, shoulder press,\ndumbbell/barbell rows, and lat pull-down. The proportion of\nthe participant ’ s training within the following repetition\nranges over the last 12 mo was as follows: near maximum\nloads [1 - 5 repetition maximum (RM)]: 10%; heavy loads (6 -\n14 RM): 80%; and moderate loads ( � 15 RM): 10%. The partici- pant reported only occasional ( < 1 � /week) use of advanced resistance training practices (i.e., complex training and ac-\ncommodating resistance method) but frequently ( > 3 � / week) executed training repetitions with the intention to\nmove the load as fast as possible. The WSM ’ s nutritional\nsupplement consumption included protein, branched-chain\namino acids, and electrolytes.\n##### Overview\nThe WSM reported for a single test session that involved\nthe following assessments (listed in order): axial T1 weighted\n3.0-T MRI scans from T12 to the lateral malleolus [to assess\nmuscle size throughout the lower body (left and right sides)],", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed12.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# RESEARCH ARTICLE Muscle and tendon morphology of a world strongman and deadlift champion\n\n## Muscle and tendon morphology of a world strongman and deadlift champion\n\n### **B**\n\n#### DISCUSSION\n\nThis study is the fi rst to document the lower-body muscle\nand tendon morphology of a World ’ s Strongest Man and\ndeadlift champion (i.e., an exceptionally strong individual),\nand these are presented alongside functional whole body\nassessments, which exceeded the highest IMTP force (gross\nand net) and CMJ power values previously reported by 54%,\n100%, and 164%, respectively.

First, the participant was not measured im-\nmediately before their World ’ s Strongest Man championship\nsuccess or other landmark performances, and it is entirely pos-\nsible the functional and structural characteristics we assessed\nmay have been even higher directly prior to peak performan-\nces. Despite using a wide-bore MRI scanner, due to the size of\nthe WSM ’ s shoulders and arms, it was not possible to scan their\nupper body. Thus, we were not able to investigate this aspect of\nthe WSM ’ s muscle morphology; although given that greater hy-\npertrophy occurs in the upper body compared with the lower\nbody ( 42 ), it is possible that the WSM ’ s upper-body muscle size\nrelative to untrained controls may have been even more pro-\nnounced than what we have documented for the lower body.\nIn the current study to provide the most representative data on\nuntrained control participants, the largest available untrained\ncontrol populations were used for each category of measure-\nments. Thus, different untrained control populations were\nused [e.g., comparison of quadricep and hamstring size ( n 1⁄4 102) vs. comparison of all the leg muscles ( n 1⁄4 11)], which led to some subtle discrepancies in the contrasts between these\ngroups and the WSM [e.g., quadriceps femoris/knee extensors,\nþ 127% and þ 99% relative to our large pooled ( n 1⁄4 102) and smaller ( n 1⁄4 11) untrained control samples, respectively].

The participant sat quietly for\n15 min prior to their scan. The participant lay supine for the\nMRI scan of the lower-body musculature from T12 to the lat-\neral malleolus. A body coil (GE Medical) allowed axial T1-\nweighted images (time of repetition/time to echo 600/8.144\nms, image matrix 512 � 512, fi eld of view 500 � 500 mm, pixel size 0.9766 � 0.9766 mm, slice thickness 5 mm, and interslice gap 5 mm) to be acquired in fi ve overlapping\nblocks. Images of both sides of the body were acquired\nwithin a single scan for blocks 1 (T12 to pelvis), 4 (knee joint\nspace to midshank), and 5 (midshank to lateral malleolus).\nHowever, due to the size of the participant ’ s thighs, it was\nnecessary to scan each thigh individually for blocks 2 (pelvis\nto midthigh) and 3 (midthigh to knee joint space); this\ninvolved the radiographer repositioning the fi eld of view\nbetween scanning the fi rst and the second thigh but not\nphysically moving the coil or the participant.

There\nwere subtle differences in the precise scanning and analysis\napproaches used with the reference populations featured in\nthis study, including 1 ) magnetic fi eld strength [1.5 T ( 10 , 11 , 15 )\nvs. 3.0 T, WSM and ( 13 , 14 )]; 2 ) the interslice distance used to\nquantify quadriceps femoris and hamstrings muscle volume\n[1.5 cm ( 10 , 11 , 14 ) vs. 2.0 cm, WSM and ( 13 )]; 3 ) the calculation\nof muscle volume [area under the cubic spline ACSA-muscle\nlength curve: ( 10 , 11 , 14 ) vs. the equation detailed earlier: WSM\nand ( 13 )]; and 4 ) the use of unilateral MRI measures derived\nfrom one limb ( 10 , 11 , 14 , 15 ) or collapsed across two limbs\n[WSM and ( 13 )]. However, it seems likely that these subtle dif-\nferences would have had at most a very minor effect on the\nfi ndings. Finally, it is also important to highlight that the differ-\nences documented between the WSM and comparative popula-\ntions for the various measures included in the current study\ncannot be assumed to be anything other than a combination of\nboth innate (genetic) and environmental (training and nutri-\ntion) factors.\n##### Conclusions\nIn conclusion, this novel investigation documented the\nmuscle and tendon morphology and whole body strength\nand power characteristics of an exceptionally strong individ-\nual, relative to comparative athletic, trained, and untrained\npopulations. Overall leg muscle volume of the WSM was\napproximately twice that of untrained controls but with pro-\nnounced anatomical variability in the extent of muscular de-\nvelopment. The plantar fl exor muscle group and the guy\nrope muscles (sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus: þ 140 to þ 202%), which stabilize the pelvis and femur, demon- strated the largest differences.

First, the participant was not measured im-\nmediately before their World ’ s Strongest Man championship\nsuccess or other landmark performances, and it is entirely pos-\nsible the functional and structural characteristics we assessed\nmay have been even higher directly prior to peak performan-\nces. Despite using a wide-bore MRI scanner, due to the size of\nthe WSM ’ s shoulders and arms, it was not possible to scan their\nupper body. Thus, we were not able to investigate this aspect of\nthe WSM ’ s muscle morphology; although given that greater hy-\npertrophy occurs in the upper body compared with the lower\nbody ( 42 ), it is possible that the WSM ’ s upper-body muscle size\nrelative to untrained controls may have been even more pro-\nnounced than what we have documented for the lower body.\nIn the current study to provide the most representative data on\nuntrained control participants, the largest available untrained\ncontrol populations were used for each category of measure-\nments. Thus, different untrained control populations were\nused [e.g., comparison of quadricep and hamstring size ( n 1⁄4 102) vs. comparison of all the leg muscles ( n 1⁄4 11)], which led to some subtle discrepancies in the contrasts between these\ngroups and the WSM [e.g., quadriceps femoris/knee extensors,\nþ 127% and þ 99% relative to our large pooled ( n 1⁄4 102) and smaller ( n 1⁄4 11) untrained control samples, respectively].

In the 12 mo prior to testing, the partici-\npant ’ s resistance training consisted of the following typical\nexercises: lower body: squats, deadlifts, leg press, and knee\nextension; and upper body: bench press, shoulder press,\ndumbbell/barbell rows, and lat pull-down. The proportion of\nthe participant ’ s training within the following repetition\nranges over the last 12 mo was as follows: near maximum\nloads [1 - 5 repetition maximum (RM)]: 10%; heavy loads (6 -\n14 RM): 80%; and moderate loads ( � 15 RM): 10%. The partici- pant reported only occasional ( < 1 � /week) use of advanced resistance training practices (i.e., complex training and ac-\ncommodating resistance method) but frequently ( > 3 � / week) executed training repetitions with the intention to\nmove the load as fast as possible.

Over the centuries,\nmany types of strength competitions have existed; some of\nwhich have been codi fi ed and endured within modern sport-\ning competitions (e.g., weightlifting, powerlifting, and shot\nput). In addition, professional strongman competitions, such\nas the annually contested “ World ’ s Strongest Man ” event,\ngenerate extensive global interest ( 2 ). Moreover, scienti fi c\nunderstanding of muscular strength is important because of\nits role in athletic performance ( 3 ), injury prevention ( 4 ), and\nhealthy aging ( 5 ). However, our knowledge of extreme human\nstrength is limited.\nTo date, there is little scienti fi c information on the charac-\nteristics of extremely strong humans in terms of laboratory-\nbased tests of strength and power, particularly the size and dis-\ntribution of their muscle mass, as well as tendon size and joint\nmechanics (moment arm). Kraemer et al. ( 6 ) examined the\nbody composition of elite strongman competitors using dual-\nenergy X-ray absorptiometry scanning and found that they\nhad a body mass (153±19 kg) and lean mass (118±12 kg)\napproximately twice that of an average untrained healthy\nyoung man.

The WSM completed the following: 1 ) 3.0-T\nMRI scans, to determine the volume of 22 individual lower limb muscles, 5 functional muscle groups, patellar tendon (PT) cross-sec-\ntional area (CSA), and PT moment arm; and 2 ) countermovement jumps (CMJ) and isometric midthigh pull (IMTP) contractions. The\nWSM was compared with previously assessed groups from our laboratory (muscle and tendon) and the wider research literature\n(CMJ and IMTP). The WSM ’ s CMJ peak power (9,866 W) and gross (9,171 N) and net (7,480 N) IMTP peak forces were higher than\nany previously published values. The WSM ’ s overall measured leg muscle volume was approximately twice that of untrained controls\n( þ 96%) but with pronounced anatomical variability in the extent of muscular development. The plantar fl exor group ( þ 120%) and the guy rope muscles (sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus: þ 140% to þ 202%), which stabilize the pelvis and femur, demonstrated the largest differences relative to that of untrained controls. The WSM ’ s pronounced quadriceps size (greater than or equal to twofold vs.\nuntrained) was accompanied by modest PT moment arm differences and, notably, was not matched by an equivalent difference in PT\nCSA ( þ 30%). These results provide novel insight into the musculotendinous characteristics of an extraordinarily strong individual, which may be toward the upper limit of human variation, such that the WSM ’ s very pronounced lower limb muscularity also exhibited\ndistinct anatomical variability and with muscle size largely uncoupled from tendon size.\nNEW & NOTEWORTHY Lower-body muscle size of an extraordinarily strong individual, a World ’ s Strongest Man and deadlift\nchampion (WSM), was approximately twice that of controls but was underpinned by pronounced anatomical variability in the\nextent of muscular development ( þ 23 - 202%): the plantar fl exor group and guy rope muscles demonstrating the largest differen- ces.

The WSM had overall lower-\nbody muscularity approximately twice that of untrained con-\ntrols ( þ 96%) and 32% greater than that of elite 100-m sprint- ers. However, there was substantial anatomical variability in\nthe magnitude of the differences, ranging from the plantar\nfl exors ( þ 120% vs. untrained) to the hip fl exors ( þ 65% vs. untrained). Similarly, some speci fi c muscles, such as the guy\nrope muscles that stabilize the femur and pelvis, were 2.5 - 3.0\ntimes the volume of untrained individuals (gracilis þ 140%, semitendinosus þ 157%, and sartorius þ 202%) but others dis- played more marginal differences (BFsh þ 23%, iliopsoas þ 32% vs. untrained). Considering the knee extensors, the WSM had both quadriceps femoris volume greater than or\nequal to twofold that of untrained controls and a greater pa-\ntella tendon moment arm than we have previously measured\n( þ 18% vs. untrained), which would be expected to combine to facilitate extraordinary strength. Furthermore, despite the\nWSM ’ s extremely large quadriceps femoris, their patellar ten-\ndon CSA was only 30% greater than that of untrained controls\nand not outside the range of tendons we have previously\nassessed. The results of this study provide novel insights into\nthe muscle and tendon characteristics, as well as the strength\nand power capabilities, of an extraordinarily strong individual\nthat may be toward the upper limit of human variation in\nthese characteristics.\nTable 2.

The axial images were obtained perpendicular to the line of the tendon\nfrom � 2 cm superior to the apex of the patella to � 2 cm\ninferior to the patellar tendon ’ s inferior insertion. Patellar\ntendon CSA was measured in each contiguous image along\nthe length of the tendon (i.e., from the fi rst image where the\npatella was no longer visible to the fi nal image before the tib-\nial insertion). The axial images of the patellar tendon were\nviewed in grayscale, sharpened, and the perimeter manually\noutlined. The average of all measured axial patellar tendon\nCSAs was calculated to produce a mean tendon CSA (mm 2 )\nfor each leg. The moment arm length of the patellar tendon\nfor each leg was estimated from sagittal plane images as the\nperpendicular distance from the patellar tendon to the mid-\npoint of tibiofemoral contact ( 17 ).\n##### Countermovement Jump\nFollowing an � 10-min self-selected whole body loaded barbell-based warm-up and three submaximum warm-up\nCMJs performed with � 50% of perceived maximum effort, the WSM performed three maximal effort CMJs, with 30 s of\nrest between jumps, on a portable Kistler force plate (Quattro\nJump, Type 9290AD, Kistler, Switzerland), interfaced with a\npersonal computer.

A great concern is the signi fi cantly lower levels\nof physical activity (PA) in people with MS (pwMS) across\ndisability levels than in their healthy counterparts ( 2 , 3 ).\nEarly promotion of PA and exercise is recommended due to\nnumerous established bene fi ts in health, symptom management\nand well-being for pwMS ( 4 ). In particular, high-intensity\ntraining is endorsed, as it has possible neuroprotective effects in\nthe disease course ( 5 , 6 ). In addition, exercises addressing\nsensorimotor impairments (e.g., reduced muscle strength,\nreduced neuromuscular control) are recommended, as they target\nindividuals ’ capability to remain physically active ( 7 ).\nSensorimotor impairments can in fl uence trunk control, which is\ncommonly disturbed in pwMS, even when disability is low ( 8 , 9 ),\nand correlate with impaired balance, walking capacity and\ndistance ( 10 , 11 ). PwMS ’ s knowledge of exercise bene fi ts,\nattitudes and motivations, as well as contextual aspects such as\nlack of optimal exercise interventions, accessibility and support,\naffect the level of PA and exercise participation ( 12 ).\nCoreDISTparticipation ( Table 1 ) is a new comprehensive\nintervention addressing sensorimotor function, trunk control,\nhigh-intensity running/walking and work participation in pwMS\nwith low disability ( 13 ). It is based on the GroupCoreDIST 1\nintervention, which has been shown to have signi fi cant short-\nand long-term effects on trunk control, balance and walking\namong pwMS ( 14 , 15 ). However, no effects of the intervention\non objectively measured PA have been identi fi ed, even though\nthe participants reported perceptions of new possibilities to be\nphysically active as their sensorimotor impairments improved\n( 16 ). To address PA challenges in pwMS, GroupCoreDIST was\nfurther developed to include a four-week period of outdoor\ntraining, in which high-intensity walking/running and\nGroupCoreDIST exercises are integrated ( Table 2 ). To our\nknowledge, combinations of high-intensity training and\nrehabilitation of speci fi c sensorimotor functions have been\nsparsely explored. Patient perspectives are essential for the\nevaluation of healthcare interventions ( 17 ); however, the new", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed13.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### References\n\n1.

Estimating an incidence trend from treatment data\n\nThe mode age of initiation has shifted from around 18 to around 25 and there is an older age profile throughout. Rises in average age of initiation have also been reported recently in cohorts of Australian injecting drug users (Horyniak et al., 2015). There appear to be two possible explanations.\n- There is a genuine shift towards new initiates being older, and for them to present to treatment much faster than in previous years.\n- There is a consistent, but small number of individuals who mis-report their age of onset when attending treatment i.e. who report that they have only been using opiates/crack for a short period when in fact they have been using for a far longer period, and that this is starting to really bias the numbers for recent cohorts because attendees from the original epidemic are becoming smaller.\nIt is possible then that the flattening we observe in the incidence trend is due to a small in-flux of older initiates, although mis-reporting may also explain that phenomenon. Either way though, as this analysis has made clear throughout, absolute numbers of new OCUs appear to be small - probably fewer than 10,000 per annum and the numbers of those involved with crime will be smaller still. In addition, despite a flattening in the probable trend in new users, there is currently no sign that it is likely to tip upwards. If anything, the data suggest the downward trend is set to resume, though clearly it remains important to monitor the situation.", + "page_start": 28, + "page_end": 28, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 2. Estimating an incidence trend from treatment data\n\nThis section uses treatment data from the National Database Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS) to estimate the number of new OCUs annually. The NDTMS captures data on the numbers of people presenting to services with problem drug misuse and information about the drug treatment they receive. All drug treatment agencies in England provide a basic level of information to the NDTMS on their activities each month. The data for this report included all unique individuals presenting to treatment with opiates or crack-cocaine listed as their primary drug between 2005 and 2014. All individuals whose age of first use was listed as below ten or before 2005 were then excluded. Excluding individuals who started using opiates/crack before 2005 resulted in a large number of records being left out, due to the fact that the majority of the treatment population, even in 2013/14, initiated in the 1980s and 1990s when heroin and crack use surged in the UK. However, this exclusion is necessary for the incidence methodology, as explained later in this section. The remaining dataset included 52,829 individuals, as shown in Table 10.\n**Table 10: Descriptive statistics from the NDTMS data.**\n| Reason for exclusion | Number of individuals excluded | Total number of individuals analysed |\n|:---|:---|:---|\n| Initial sample prior to exclusion | 0 | 243,588 |\n| No age at first use recorded or age was below 10 or higher than age at first treatment | 443 | 243,145 |\n| Year of first use before 2005 | 190,316 | 52,829 |\n| Percentage of total sample initiating 2005- 14 | n/a | 21.7% |\n\nThe majority of those presenting for treatment between 2005 and 2014 started using opiates/crack before 2005 (around four in five). Only 52,829 individuals said they had an opiate/crack initiation date between 2005 and 2014. This suggests an average of just under 5,000 new starters per year during this period. But this would be an under-estimate of incidence because it is likely that some of those who began use between 2005 and 2014 would not yet have come to treatment during that period.\nTo correct for this, we use two variants of a methodology employed by researchers in Millar *et* *al* . (2001) and Hickman *et al* . (2001). These papers discuss the methodology in detail.\nIn brief, the method uses the lag-to-treatment distribution for the sample coupled with the number of new treatment presentations in a given year to estimate OCU incidence in that year. So, when presenting to treatment, all individuals are asked to provide the year in which they first began using their primary drug, which for this analysis was limited to opiates and/or crack-", + "page_start": 21, + "page_end": 21, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### 4 Discussion\n\n#### 4.3 Methodological considerations\nThe design and methods were adequate for deriving\nknowledge from individuals ’ experiences. The participants self-\nreferred to the intervention and were recruited based on pre-set\ncriteria. This approach yielded rich information from people\nwith mild to moderate disabilities due to MS who were\nmotivated for physical activity (PA), employed, and residing in\nnorthern Norway. Ethnicity or socio-economic class were not\nrecorded. However, considering that all these factors can\nin fl uence PA engagement ( 46 ), it is possible that additional\naspects of the phenomenon could be uncovered in a different\nsample ( 48 ). There was a higher percentage of women\nparticipating than men; however, this corresponds to the gender\ndistribution in the MS population ( 1 ).\nThe use of enactive theory was innovative within the fi eld and\nallowed for, in particular, new aspects of importance for self-\nef fi cacy to be identi fi ed. Transference of our results to similar\npopulations can be achieved through theoretical generalization ( 28 ).", + "page_start": 8, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "pubmed13.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 2. Estimating an incidence trend from treatment data\n\ncocaine. From this information it is possible to create a distribution, for all presentations, of the lag-time between initiation and their first presentation at treatment. This might show - for example - that only ten per cent of all individuals presenting to treatment do so in the first year of use, but that 25 per cent present within two years, and so on. This means that for each year, we can estimate the number of individuals who have begun an opiate-crack career *but who* *have yet to come to treatment* . Adding these to the numbers who began in that year and have come to treatment gives our total incidence estimate for each year.\nThe first model uses NDTMS data for the cohort starting use in 2005 (n=8,960), the lag-time distribution for those initiating use in 2005 and presenting to treatment between 2005 and 2014 18 is shown below.\n**Table 11: Time-to-treatment distribution for those initiating use in 2005 and presenting to treatment between 2005 and 2014. 19**\n| Lag time to treatment (years) | 0-1 | 1-2 | 2-3 | 3-4 | 4-5 | 5-6 | 6-7 | 7-8 | 8-9 | 9-10 |\n|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|\n| Percentage | 15% | 17% | 17% | 14% | 10% | 9% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 4% |\n| Cumulative percentage | 15% | 31% | 49% | 62% | 73% | 82% | 88% | 92% | 96% | 100% |\n\nTable 11 shows that 15 per cent of the individuals who started use in 2005 and had presented for treatment by 2014, presented within one year of initiation. A further 17 per cent presented between one and two years after initiation, prior to coming to treatment, meaning that overall 31 per cent of the sample said they came to treatment within two years of first using opiates/crack. (The fact this is not 32% is simply due to rounding).\nAs a basis for the total lag-to-treatment distribution, the main limitation with the above analysis is that it assumes all individuals coming to treatment do so within ten years. Examining data from earlier cohorts suggests this is inaccurate, as a small proportion of OCUs will continue to use these drugs for a long time, sometimes two decades or more, before seeking treatment, and some never will. However, we cannot use an earlier cohort for the distribution because this is equivalent to using out-of-date data. The average lag-to-treatment is likely to have reduced over time given the expansion of treatment places and the influence of DIP. Using old data will miss this and bias the estimates. Even using the 2005 cohort’s distribution contains the assumption that the time-to-treatment lag has not altered significantly between 2005 and 2013/14. So, to try and obtain the most accurate model, we used the figures from the 2005 cohort for the first ten years, as above, on the basis that this covers the majority of individuals and for that we want the most up-to-date data possible whilst maintaining a long enough time period. We then index the trend at that point to an older cohort, and use data from that cohort to model the ‘tail’ of the distribution - i.e. those who take longer than ten years to reach treatment. 20 The result is a 20-year lag-to-treatment distribution, shown in Table 12 below.", + "page_start": 22, + "page_end": 22, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 1. Drug Interventions Programme Data\n\nThe fifth row in Table 1 shows that the total number of opiate and opiate/cocaine tests over the period was 364,537. Table 2 shows descriptive statistics for the individuals providing these tests (noting that the same individual may be included several times if they gave multiple positive tests).\n**Table 2: Descriptive statistics on all positive opiate-only/positive-for-both tests.**\nOpiate/opiate+cocaine positive tests in England 2004- 2013 (all positive tests including repeats by the same individual)\nAge Year of birth\n| Number of tests | 364,537 | Number of tests | 364,537 |\n|:---|---:|:---|---:|\n| Mean | 32 | Mean | 1977 |\n| Median | 31 | Median | 1977 |\n| Mode | 28 | Mode | 1979 |\n| Minimum | 18 | Minimum | 1960 |\n| Maximum | 53 | Maximum | 1995 |\n\nThe mean age at test is 32 and the mean year of birth is 1977, implying that most of these individuals were in their mid-to-late teens during the crime peak of the mid-1990s. 9 Given evidence suggesting that the average age of initiation for opiate/crack use is around 18- 20 (Millar *et al* ., 2001), this age profile would tentatively suggest that OCU incidence also peaked in the 1990s and that this created a large cohort of users who would be approaching 40 today.\nThe minimum and maximum years of birth are fixed by construction, because anyone born\n\n9 Note that the dataset counts tests, not unique individuals, so the same person can appear more than once.\nbefore 1960 was removed and because DIP tests are only administered to those aged 18 and over, so only using data to 2013 means it would not be possible for anyone to be born in 1996 or afterwards to be included. Even so, it is clear from the year-of-birth distribution (Figure 2) that positive opiate tests drop off sharply for those born after 1982. This is in line with other evidence suggesting that the number of *new* users of opiates decreased sharply in the 2000s. This needs to be considered when interpreting the analysis that follows. When DIP and the NDTMS treatment system began in the mid-2000s, there already existed a cohort of around 320,000 OCUs, according to available estimates by Hay *et al* ., (2013). And most of these individuals began using opiates/crack during the epidemic years of the 1980s and 1990s. In terms of data capture this means it is hard to separate the gradual inclusion of more and more individuals from this original cohort from genuinely new users of these drugs.", + "page_start": 8, + "page_end": 9, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### References\n\n11.

However, given that the early signs of previous opiate/crack use epidemics have been missed before (see Morgan, 2014), and the potential social harm that a fresh increase in new OCUs could cause, further analysis was conducted on the most recent data to try and determine whether the apparent flattening in trends was actually caused by the early stages of a significant surge in new users.\nThe treatment data was broken down by age to check whether the slight fall in total new presentations in 2014/15 masked an increase in younger treatment presentations. This showed instead that opiate/crack presentations by those aged 18-24 had fallen from 3,579 in 2013/14 to 3,021 in 2014/15, a fall of 15.6%. In other words, younger new presentations have fallen at a faster rate over the last year than for those aged over-25. Furthermore, separate statistics produced for those in treatment aged 18-and-under also show a fall in aggregate numbers in treatment for opiates and crack.\nWe also looked at trends at the local level, given that previous epidemics have started in very specific areas and have taken several years to spread nationally. This means that the start of an epidemic can be hidden in the national data because it has not reached enough areas to register.\n\n22 Note that this series counts the start of any new treatment journey, regardless of whether an individual has been in treatment before. So unlike our definition of ‘new’ elsewhere it includes individuals who have been to treatment previously.\nThe analysis showed that of the 149 Drug Action Team areas in England, 72 per cent had decreases in new OCU treatment numbers in the year to September 2014 compared to the previous year. Furthermore, of the 42 areas showing an increase, only 11 also showed a rise for the 12 months to September 2010 compared with the 12 months to September 2014, and most of these involved small numbers of individuals.\nOverall then, the very recent data on treatment presentations do not currently suggest that the number of new OCUs is on the verge of increasing, merely that it flattened for a period.", + "page_start": 26, + "page_end": 27, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "pubmed13.pdf", + "query": "What was the average year of the group that participated to the study concerning the impact of outdoor pysiotherapy on patient with multiple sclerosis", + "target_page": 4, + "target_passage": "Age in years Mean 47.6", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": false, + "index": null + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### 2 Materials and methods\n\n#### 2.5 Recruitment and participants\nPrior to recruitment, the study was introduced to individuals\nwith multiple sclerosis (pwMS) through a seminar hosted by the\nNordland MS Association.

A great concern is the signi fi cantly lower levels\nof physical activity (PA) in people with MS (pwMS) across\ndisability levels than in their healthy counterparts ( 2 , 3 ).\nEarly promotion of PA and exercise is recommended due to\nnumerous established bene fi ts in health, symptom management\nand well-being for pwMS ( 4 ). In particular, high-intensity\ntraining is endorsed, as it has possible neuroprotective effects in\nthe disease course ( 5 , 6 ). In addition, exercises addressing\nsensorimotor impairments (e.g., reduced muscle strength,\nreduced neuromuscular control) are recommended, as they target\nindividuals ’ capability to remain physically active ( 7 ).\nSensorimotor impairments can in fl uence trunk control, which is\ncommonly disturbed in pwMS, even when disability is low ( 8 , 9 ),\nand correlate with impaired balance, walking capacity and\ndistance ( 10 , 11 ). PwMS ’ s knowledge of exercise bene fi ts,\nattitudes and motivations, as well as contextual aspects such as\nlack of optimal exercise interventions, accessibility and support,\naffect the level of PA and exercise participation ( 12 ).\nCoreDISTparticipation ( Table 1 ) is a new comprehensive\nintervention addressing sensorimotor function, trunk control,\nhigh-intensity running/walking and work participation in pwMS\nwith low disability ( 13 ). It is based on the GroupCoreDIST 1\nintervention, which has been shown to have signi fi cant short-\nand long-term effects on trunk control, balance and walking\namong pwMS ( 14 , 15 ). However, no effects of the intervention\non objectively measured PA have been identi fi ed, even though\nthe participants reported perceptions of new possibilities to be\nphysically active as their sensorimotor impairments improved\n( 16 ). To address PA challenges in pwMS, GroupCoreDIST was\nfurther developed to include a four-week period of outdoor\ntraining, in which high-intensity walking/running and\nGroupCoreDIST exercises are integrated ( Table 2 ). To our\nknowledge, combinations of high-intensity training and\nrehabilitation of speci fi c sensorimotor functions have been\nsparsely explored. Patient perspectives are essential for the\nevaluation of healthcare interventions ( 17 ); however, the new", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed13.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### 4 Discussion\n\n#### 4.3 Methodological considerations\nThe design and methods were adequate for deriving\nknowledge from individuals ’ experiences. The participants self-\nreferred to the intervention and were recruited based on pre-set\ncriteria. This approach yielded rich information from people\nwith mild to moderate disabilities due to MS who were\nmotivated for physical activity (PA), employed, and residing in\nnorthern Norway. Ethnicity or socio-economic class were not\nrecorded. However, considering that all these factors can\nin fl uence PA engagement ( 46 ), it is possible that additional\naspects of the phenomenon could be uncovered in a different\nsample ( 48 ). There was a higher percentage of women\nparticipating than men; however, this corresponds to the gender\ndistribution in the MS population ( 1 ).\nThe use of enactive theory was innovative within the fi eld and\nallowed for, in particular, new aspects of importance for self-\nef fi cacy to be identi fi ed. Transference of our results to similar\npopulations can be achieved through theoretical generalization ( 28 ).", + "page_start": 8, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "pubmed13.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### 3 Results\n\n#### 3.3 An engaging environment\n\nMost participants reported that their performances were\npositively in fl uenced and motivated by the group setting, for\nexample, through cooperating in exercises with balls, seeing other\nindividuals in the group who were “ doing well ” , cheering each\nother and competing when running and walking next to each\nother. However, one participant emphasized that observing\npeople with visible disabilities from MS was distressing, as it\nrevealed negative thoughts about one ’ s own future. It was\nemphasized that mastering challenges in the group sessions\nadded more meaning than doing the same alone:\nI think this particular exercise is hard work, and then it becomes\nvery tiring to do it on my own. However, when I did it in the\ngroup and we could laugh a bit in between and so on, it was\neasier because of the social element. (ID12, EDSS: 1.5)\nBeing active outdoors was preferred by many participants\nbecause of the fresh air and the natural and varied environment:\nIt was an added positive experience to use our city park and\nnotice all the other people who were there ... it is something\nabout challenging our comfort-zone . (ID4, EDSS: 0)\nThe natural environment was also described as taking focus\naway from MS symptoms. Cold, rainy or snowy weather\nconditions required planning of adequate clothing; in addition,\nthese conditions led some participants to use cautious behavior\nwhen the ground was slippery and led a few to omit sessions.\nHowever, mastering outdoor exercise was highlighted in positive\nterms, such as discovering new ways to become active.\n3.4 Professional leadership, tailoring and\nco-creation of enjoyment\nThe way the physiotherapists led the group and, in particular,\ninteracted with each participant were regarded as helpful for\nimproving their bodily functions and activity levels. Some\nparticipants reported being afraid to try out new activities or\ntraining at high intensities after being diagnosed with MS but felt\nsafe to explore when supervised by the physiotherapist because of\ntheir trust in the relationship between them and in the\nphysiotherapist ’ s professional knowledge.", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 6, + "source_file": "pubmed13.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### References\n\n11.

As\nsuch, we argue that the physiotherapists ’ ability to adapt to\nparticipants ’ movements, speech and gestures — tailoring the\ninteraction to their needs — was important for this ability to be\nperceived as purposeful. This is supported by the few negative\nincidents described where the participant-physiotherapist\ninteraction seemed to not be jointly coordinated and appeared to\nfail.

A great concern is the signi fi cantly lower levels\nof physical activity (PA) in people with MS (pwMS) across\ndisability levels than in their healthy counterparts ( 2 , 3 ).\nEarly promotion of PA and exercise is recommended due to\nnumerous established bene fi ts in health, symptom management\nand well-being for pwMS ( 4 ). In particular, high-intensity\ntraining is endorsed, as it has possible neuroprotective effects in\nthe disease course ( 5 , 6 ). In addition, exercises addressing\nsensorimotor impairments (e.g., reduced muscle strength,\nreduced neuromuscular control) are recommended, as they target\nindividuals ’ capability to remain physically active ( 7 ).\nSensorimotor impairments can in fl uence trunk control, which is\ncommonly disturbed in pwMS, even when disability is low ( 8 , 9 ),\nand correlate with impaired balance, walking capacity and\ndistance ( 10 , 11 ). PwMS ’ s knowledge of exercise bene fi ts,\nattitudes and motivations, as well as contextual aspects such as\nlack of optimal exercise interventions, accessibility and support,\naffect the level of PA and exercise participation ( 12 ).\nCoreDISTparticipation ( Table 1 ) is a new comprehensive\nintervention addressing sensorimotor function, trunk control,\nhigh-intensity running/walking and work participation in pwMS\nwith low disability ( 13 ). It is based on the GroupCoreDIST 1\nintervention, which has been shown to have signi fi cant short-\nand long-term effects on trunk control, balance and walking\namong pwMS ( 14 , 15 ). However, no effects of the intervention\non objectively measured PA have been identi fi ed, even though\nthe participants reported perceptions of new possibilities to be\nphysically active as their sensorimotor impairments improved\n( 16 ). To address PA challenges in pwMS, GroupCoreDIST was\nfurther developed to include a four-week period of outdoor\ntraining, in which high-intensity walking/running and\nGroupCoreDIST exercises are integrated ( Table 2 ). To our\nknowledge, combinations of high-intensity training and\nrehabilitation of speci fi c sensorimotor functions have been\nsparsely explored. Patient perspectives are essential for the\nevaluation of healthcare interventions ( 17 ); however, the new", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed13.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### 2 Materials and methods\n\n#### 2.4 Research team and re fl exivity\nAll researchers on the team are clinical specialists in\nneurological physiotherapy. BN and ECA developed the\nCoreDISTparticipation intervention, and SSHD contributed to\nthe development of the outdoor part.\nThe researchers ’ closeness to the intervention and the\nclinical fi eld may have strengthened the depth and relevance\nof their interpretations in this study ( 27 ), as it was easy to\nunderstand what participants described and helped form\nfollow-up questions during the interviews. However, closeness\nmay also produce a risk of “ blind spots ” , as the researchers\nmay prejudice participants ’ experiences, omitting questions\nwhere the answers are believed to be obvious ( 27 ). Thus,\nthroughout the process, trustworthiness and rigor were\nenhanced by discussing the methodology, fi ndings, and\ninterpretations with external researchers (including specialists\nin enactive theory), as well as user representatives. The\npresented theoretical framework (enactive theory) enhanced\nthe distance to the material, as recommended in qualitative\nresearch ( 28 ).", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "pubmed13.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### 3 Results\n\n#### 3.3 An engaging environment\n\nMost participants reported that their performances were\npositively in fl uenced and motivated by the group setting, for\nexample, through cooperating in exercises with balls, seeing other\nindividuals in the group who were “ doing well ” , cheering each\nother and competing when running and walking next to each\nother. However, one participant emphasized that observing\npeople with visible disabilities from MS was distressing, as it\nrevealed negative thoughts about one ’ s own future. It was\nemphasized that mastering challenges in the group sessions\nadded more meaning than doing the same alone:\nI think this particular exercise is hard work, and then it becomes\nvery tiring to do it on my own. However, when I did it in the\ngroup and we could laugh a bit in between and so on, it was\neasier because of the social element. (ID12, EDSS: 1.5)\nBeing active outdoors was preferred by many participants\nbecause of the fresh air and the natural and varied environment:\nIt was an added positive experience to use our city park and\nnotice all the other people who were there ... it is something\nabout challenging our comfort-zone . (ID4, EDSS: 0)\nThe natural environment was also described as taking focus\naway from MS symptoms. Cold, rainy or snowy weather\nconditions required planning of adequate clothing; in addition,\nthese conditions led some participants to use cautious behavior\nwhen the ground was slippery and led a few to omit sessions.\nHowever, mastering outdoor exercise was highlighted in positive\nterms, such as discovering new ways to become active.\n3.4 Professional leadership, tailoring and\nco-creation of enjoyment\nThe way the physiotherapists led the group and, in particular,\ninteracted with each participant were regarded as helpful for\nimproving their bodily functions and activity levels. Some\nparticipants reported being afraid to try out new activities or\ntraining at high intensities after being diagnosed with MS but felt\nsafe to explore when supervised by the physiotherapist because of\ntheir trust in the relationship between them and in the\nphysiotherapist ’ s professional knowledge.", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 6, + "source_file": "pubmed13.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### 2 Materials and methods\n\n#### 2.3 Study context\n\n[Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/rehabilitation-sciences) 03 [frontiersin.org](https://www.frontiersin.org/)\ncommunity healthcare in the two municipalities.

INTRODUCTION\n\nthe origin of neutrino masses.\nAlthough such a TeV scale model is interesting and appealing, one might think that the\nabsence of dark matter (DM) candidate is a shortcoming of this model. A sterile RH neutrino\nwith mass of the order of MeV is one possibility [9]. In this paper, we propose a very simple\nidea to introduce the DM candidate in the minimal gauged U (1) B − L model. We introduce\nthe Z 2 parity into the model and impose one of three RH neutrinos to be odd, while the\nothers even. In this way, the Z 2 -odd RH neutrino becomes stable and the DM candidate.\nNote that two RH neutrinos are enough to reconcile with the observed neutrino oscillation\ndata, with a prediction of one massless light neutrino. Therefore, without introducing any\nadditional new dynamical degrees of freedom, the DM particle arises in the minimal gauged\nU (1) B − L model.\nThe paper is organized as follows. In the next section, we briefly describe our model. In\nsection III, we estimate the thermal relic density of the RH neutrino and identify the model\n2\nparameter to be consistent with the current observations. We also calculate the scattering\ncross section between the DM particle and nucleon and discuss the implication for the direct\nDM search experiments. We summarize our results in the section IV.

INTRODUCTION\n\nThe nonvanishing neutrino masses have been confirmed by various neutrino oscillation\nphenomena and indicate the evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. The most\nattractive idea to naturally explain the tiny neutrino masses is the seesaw mechanism [1], in\nwhich the right-handed (RH) neutrinos singlet under the SM gauge group are introduced.\nThe minimal gauged U (1) B − L model based on the gauge group SU (3) C × SU (2) L × U (1) Y × U (1) B − L [2] is an elegant and simple extension of the SM, in which the RH neutrinos of\nthree generations are necessarily introduced because of the gauge and gravitational anomaly\ncancellations. In addition, the mass of RH neutrinos arises associated with the U (1) B − L\ngauge symmetry breaking.\nAlthough the scale of the B − L gauge symmetry breaking is basically arbitrary as long as\nphenomenological constraints are satisfied, one interesting option is to take it to be the TeV\nscale [3]. It has been recently pointed out [4] that when the classical conformal invariance\nis imposed on the minimal U (1) B − L model, the symmetry breaking scale appears to be the TeV scale naturally. If this is the case, all new particles, the Z gauge boson, the B − L\nHiggs boson H and the RH neutrinos appear at the TeV scale unless the U (1) B − L gauge\ncoupling is extremely small, and they can be discovered at Large Hadron Collider [5- 8].\nThen we may be able to understand the relation between the gauge symmetry breaking and", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "1002.2525.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Higgs portal dark matter in the minimal gauged U (1) model Abstract\n\n## III.

We have evaluated the relic\ndensity of the dark matter particle. The dominant annihilation modes are via the Higgs\nboson exchange processes in the s -channel and thus, our model can be called Higgs portal\nDM model. It has been found that the relic density consistent with the current observation\n8\ncan be achieved only when the annihilation processes are enhanced by Higgs resonances.\nTherefore, the mass of the RH neutrino DM should be around a half of Higgs boson masses.\nWe have also calculated the elastic scattering cross section between the DM particle and a\nproton and found it within the reach of future experiments for the direct DM search.", + "page_start": 7, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "1002.2525.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Higgs portal dark matter in the minimal gauged U (1) model Abstract\n\n## Appendix A: The Higgs sector\n\n### 3.

Informally, this property holds if an adversarial user cannot influence routing decisions made by the control plane. To show that existing LLM routers do not satisfy this property, we designed, implemented, and evaluated a black-box optimization method for generating query- independent “confounder gadgets.” When added to any query, the confounder gadget confuses the router into routing the query to the adversary-chosen LLM.\nWe evaluated the efficacy of confounder gadgets on multiple open-source and commercial routers and demonstrated that they successfully reroute queries without a negative impact on the quality of responses. We also discussed defenses against these attacks and indicated directions for future research.\n**Acknowledgments**\nThis research was supported in part by the Google Cyber NYC Institutional Research Program, the Israel Science Founda- tion (Grant No. 1336/22), and the European Union (ERC, FTRC, 101043243).

For example, FrugalGPT [20] submits the query to a sequence of models (ordered by price) called a cascade, stopping when it obtains a response classified by the router as sufficient.\n2\nIn contrast to routers motivated by controlling costs, several LLM router designs focus solely on improving quality of responses [31, 45, 57, 58].\nThe LLM routers described thus far do not modify the queries or individual LLM responses. Other types of control planes do. Ensemble approaches such as mixture-of-expert (MoE) [29, 30, 52, 56] architectures select a subset of underlying models to apply to each token of a query and merge their responses. LLM synthesis [40] architectures operate similarly, but route the entire query to a subset of underlying LLMs and merge their responses. These approaches reduce inference costs by using fewer and/or less complex underlying models.\n**Applications of LLM routers.** A key use case for LLM routers is to help LLM-based application reduce cost. Several commercial routers, including Unify [12], Martian [5], NotDiamond [7], and others, offer this as a service. By replacing a few lines of code, the application can send user queries to a router service, rather than directly to some LLM provider. The service selects the optimal LLM and forwards the queries. Commercial router services claim that this results in significant cost savings: up to 98% in the case of Martian [5], and 10 *×* in the case of NotDiamond [7].", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "arxiv1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# R EROUTING LLM R OUTERS\n\n## **5 Open-Source Routers: Experimental Setup**\n\nTo evaluate efficacy of confounder gadgets generated using the method from Section 4, we perform experiments with several LLM routers.

In Appendix E, we evaluate efficacy of the attack when the goal is to reroute to the weak model.\n**Target routers.** We focus our evaluation on the four prescriptive routing algorithms proposed by Ong et al. [47], which provides open-source code and trained parameters, and does so for a representative variety of routing ap- proaches: similarity-based classification [41, 59], an MLP constructed via matrix factorization [59], BERT-based clas- sification [27, 53, 59], and a fine-tuned LLM.\nThe routers we evaluate were trained in a supervised fashion using a set of reference (training) queries whose performance score on each of the considered models is known. The scores were computed from a collection of human pairwise rankings of model answers for each of the queries.

We focus on the cost and quality metrics, and set the weight of time and latency to 0 so that they are not factored into routing decisions. We manually calibrate the weights to 1 for the quality metric and 0 *.* 02 for the cost metric.

We assume that the attacker has access to another, surrogate router that it can use to generate confounder gadgets. In effect, we evaluate transferability of the attack from a known, white-box router to unknown, black-box routers.\nTable 5 shows the results for all combinations of surrogate (denoted by ˆ *R* ) and target routers. For conciseness we focus on the upgrade and downgrade rates for the remainder of this work. Upgrade rates are lower than in the white-box setting but still high, indicating that the attack transfers. The LLM-based routing algorithm *R* *LLM* has the lowest rates, perhaps because it is the most complex of the four. The downgrade rate is 0 in most cases and is 1 *.* 2% on average.\nTable 6 shows that the black-box attack does not increase the average perplexity of responses as generated by LLM pair 1. Table 7 shows that the attack does not decrease benchmark-specific scores, other than some small decrease in some cases for the MMLU benchmark. For GSM8K, similar to the behaviour observed in the white-box setting, we see an improvement with our attack due to the performance difference between the strong and weak models for this task. This indicates that confounding affects only the routing, not the quality of responses. When the weak model is significantly weaker than the strong model, i.e., LLM pairs 2 and 3, the attack can improve the quality of responses significantly.\n**Query-specific gadgets.** By default, our gadget generation method is query-independent and the same gadget can be used to reroute any query. An adversary with more resources may instead generate a dedicated gadget for each query (using the same algorithm).\nTable 8 and Table 9 show the results for the white-box and black-box settings, respectively. (Here, percentage numbers are not averaged and there is no standard error since we used a single gadget per query.) The white-box results are nearly perfect; the black-box results are often better but sometimes somewhat worse than those for query-independent gadgets.

This reduced the cost of our experiments by avoiding expensive GPT API calls and lowering the computational costs of Mixtral. Unless mentioned otherwise, all of our results\n7\nwill be evaluated with respect to this pair, which we refer to as LLM pair 1. We performed more limited experiments with the original strong, weak model pair (LLM pair 4) and had similar success in rerouting.\nWe additionally performed experiments with two further weaker models, in order to better evaluate the case where weak models produce much lower-quality responses for queries (compared to the strong model). In particular, we define LLM pair 2 as the strong model plus Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 [38] and LLM pair 3 as the strong model plus Llama-2-7B-chat- hf [63]. The weaker models in pairs 2 and 3 were chosen to represent smaller (Mistral 7B) and older-generation (Llama-2) models: according to the Chatbot Arena LLM ranking leaderboard [1, 21], Llama-3.1-8B is ranked in the 58th place, Mixtral 8x7B at the 88th place, Mistral-7B at the 108th place, and Llama-2-7B at the 125th place.\nThe LLM strong-weak pairs with which we performed experiments are summarized in Figure 3.\n**Evaluation datasets.** We will evaluate our attacks using three standard LLM benchmarks as workloads: MT-Bench [71], a dataset of 160 open-ended questions, MMLU [35], a dataset of 14,042 multi-choice questions, and GSM8K [24], a dataset of 1,319 grade-school math problems. Note that Ong et al. [47] flagged that some data points are “contaminated”, i.e., they are too similar to the ones used in their training of the routers. We use these datasets without these contaminated elements, resulting in 72 MT-bench queries, 14,037 MMLU queries, and 1,307 GSM8K queries.\nFor MMLU and GSM8K, we will require that the LLMs respond in a predefined format so we can parse and compare the responses to ground-truth answers. To facilitate this, we prepended formatting instructions to the query, inserted as a prefix before the gadget in the case of confounded queries.

Informally, it means that decisions made about underlying LLM queries made by the control plane algorithms cannot be subverted by adversarial queries. Looking ahead, we will focus on one class of control plane: predictive LLM routing as used to manage cost.\n**Formalizing control planes.** An LLM control plane *R* *ω* is a potentially randomized algorithm. It is parameterized by a string *ω* , called the parameters. It utilizes some number *n* of LLMs denoted by *M* . We will mostly focus on the case of *n* = 2 , and, for reasons that will be clear in a moment, use *M* s (“strong”) and *M* w (“weak”) to denote the two underlying LLMs. Then inference on an input *x* *∈X* for some set *X* of allowed queries is performed by computing a response via *y* *←* $ *R* *M* *ω* ( *x* ) . Here we use ** $ to denote running *R* with fresh random coins; we use ** when *R* is deterministic. We focus on inference for a single query, but it is straightforward to extend our abstraction for control planes to include sessions: the controller would maintain state across invocations, potentially adapting its behavior as a function of a sequence of queries and responses.\nLLM control planes should, in general, be relatively computationally lightweight, at least compared to the underlying LLMs. This is particularly so in the cost-motivated usage of control planes, as a computationally or financially expensive control plane would eat into cost savings incurred by utilizing cheaper underlying LLMs for some queries. For example, predictive binary routers use relatively simple classifiers to determine which of *M* s or *M* w should be used to respond to a query.\n**Inference flow.** Given a set of LLMs *M* , a control plane *R* *ω* , and an input *x* , an LLM inference flow is the sequence of LLM invocations *M* *i* *j* ( *z* *j* ) for 1 *≤* *j* *≤* *m* and *i* *j* *∈{* w *,* s *}* made when executing *R* *M* *ω* ( *x* ) . Here *m* is the total number of LLM invocations, and *z* 1 *, . . . , z* *m* are the queries made to the underlying LLMs. Should *R* be randomized, the sequence and its length are random variables.

In the routing context, the adversary’s goal is to increase the fraction of queries that get routed to the strong model, in order to improve the overall quality of responses, drive up the victim application’s inference costs, or both.\n**Relationship to evasion attacks.** Evasion attacks [25, 43, 60] against an inference system (also called adversarial exam- ples [32, 48, 49]) would, in our setting, seek to find a small modification ∆ to an input *x* such that *R* *M* *ω* ( *x* + ∆) *̸* = *R* *M* *ω* ( *x* ) where addition is appropriately defined based on input type (e.g., slight changes to text).", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "arxiv1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# R EROUTING LLM R OUTERS\n\n## **3 LLM Control Plane Integrity**\n\n*T* = ( *i* 1 *, z* 1 ) *,* ( *i* 2 *, z* 2 ) *, . . . ,* ( *i* *m* *, z* *m* )\nof pairs of model indexes *i* *j* *∈{* w *,* s *}* and model inputs *z* *j* . Note that for simplicity we ignore the potential for paral- lelization, assuming execution proceeds serially. For binary routers, we have *m* = 1 and *T* *∈{* ( w *, x* ) *,* ( s *, x* ) *}* . We write submitting a sequence of inferences *⃗x* = *⃗x* 1 *, . . . , ⃗x* *q* to a control plane as\n*R* *M* *ω* ( *⃗x* ) = ( *R* *M* *ω* ( *⃗x* 1 ) *, . . . , R* *M* *ω* ( *⃗x* *q* ))\nwhere note that each invocation could result in multiple underlying LLM invocations. In the binary router case, however, each invocation results in a single LLM invocation.\nAn *inference flow policy* dictates the control plane designer’s intention regarding use of the underlying models. For example, an application may want to ensure that only a small fraction of queries go to the expensive model *M* s . We can define this as a predicate over a sequence of transcripts. In our binary router example, the policy can be more simply defined as a predicate *P* over (input, model) pairs ( *⃗x* 1 *, i* 1 ) *, . . . ,* ( *⃗x* *q* *, i* *q* ) since this fully defines the sequence of transcripts. For example, a policy might specify that the strong model is used in at most an *ε* fraction of inferences:\n*P* (( *⃗x* 1 *, i* 1 ) *, . . . ,* ( *⃗x* *q* *, i* *q* )) =  \n*q* � *j* =1\nI ( *i* *j* )\n*q* *≤* *ε*  \n3\nwhere I ( *i* *j* ) = 1 if *i* *j* = s and I ( *i* *j* ) = 0 if *i* *j* = w .

We assume that our victim application’s prompt includes a substring that can be controlled by the adversary. This represents many real-world apps such as chatbots, coding assistants, writing assistants, and others, that insert user inputs into an LLM prompt. In crafting adversarial portions of prompts, an adversary may have various levels of knowledge about the victim application’s router.

Informally, this property holds if an adversarial user cannot influence routing decisions made by the control plane. To show that existing LLM routers do not satisfy this property, we designed, implemented, and evaluated a black-box optimization method for generating query- independent “confounder gadgets.” When added to any query, the confounder gadget confuses the router into routing the query to the adversary-chosen LLM.\nWe evaluated the efficacy of confounder gadgets on multiple open-source and commercial routers and demonstrated that they successfully reroute queries without a negative impact on the quality of responses. We also discussed defenses against these attacks and indicated directions for future research.\n**Acknowledgments**\nThis research was supported in part by the Google Cyber NYC Institutional Research Program, the Israel Science Founda- tion (Grant No. 1336/22), and the European Union (ERC, FTRC, 101043243).

The control plane integrity adversary seeks to maliciously control the inference *flow* , not necessarily the *output* of inference. In an unconstrained attack, the adversary does not care what outputs are generated. In the input adaptation attack, the adversary seeks to craft inputs that modify the inference flow yet do *not* change the responses of the strong underlying LLM to the extent possible. Looking ahead, we will use evasion techniques in our adaptation attacks against learned control plane routers, but, importantly, not the overall inference.\nIn the other direction, undermining LLM control plane integrity could be a stepping stone toward evasion attacks. For example, if *R* *M* *ω* is used to classify malicious content by combining LLMs each tuned to different types of harm categories, then modifying inputs to force inference flows away from appropriate models could aid evasion. We leave evaluation of how control-plane integrity attacks can enable evasion to future work.\n**Threat models.** Within the context of control plane integrity attacks against LLM routers, we identify several threat models that differ in terms of the adversary’s goals and their knowledge about the target control plane *R* *M* *ω* .\nIn terms of goals, an adversary may seek to *inflate the costs* of a victim application that utilizes an LLM control plane. As a kind of denial-of-service attack, such cost inflation would penalize the application developer who expects routing to control costs. Another adversarial goal could be *arbitrage* : consider an application that charges *X* dollars per query, whereas directly using *M* s costs *Y > X* . The application’s lower rate *X* makes economic sense assuming it uses a router to route the bulk of queries to a cheaper model *M* w . An input adaptation attack in this setting can gain (indirect) access to\n*M* s , obtaining an arbitrage advantage of *Y* *−* *X* per query. To be effective, this arbitrage adversary would want to ensure that adaptations do not lower response quality (i.e., it extracts all the value out of rerouting to *M* s ). As before, the victim in this case is the application that relies on routing to lower its costs (unsuccessfully, under this attack).", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "arxiv1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# R EROUTING LLM R OUTERS\n\n## **2 LLM Control Planes and Routing**\n\nInference using large language models (LLMs) is traditionally monolithic: a single model is applied to an input or se- quence of inputs. This methodology can be sub-optimal for various reasons. State-of-the-art models are often expensive, with API access to LLMs costing as much as several dollars for each query. Elsewhere, distinct LLMs may excel at dif- ferent tasks, and selectively using them may improve overall quality on a diverse workload. Finally, combining multiple LLMs, even all trained for similar tasks, may become increasingly prevalent as performance improvements of individual LLMs plateaus [8- 10].\nResearchers and practitioners are therefore now developing inference architectures that use multiple LLMs to answer queries. These LLMs are orchestrated by what we call an *LLM control plane* (borrowing the terminology from network- ing [13]). The control plane may route queries or parts of queries to different LLMs, derive new strings to query to underlying LLMs, combine answers from underlying LLMs, and more.\n**LLM routers.** A prominent example of this emerging class of LLM control planes are *LLM routers* [27, 41, 47, 53, 59]. LLM routers decide which of the two (or, sometimes, more) LLMs to use to answer a query. In prescriptive routing, the router applies some lightweight classifier to the input query that determines which underlying LLM to utilize for a response. The classifier is itself a learned function that scores the complexity of the query. Deployments can then configure a score threshold for when to route a query to the more expensive LLM. This threshold can be tuned using representative workloads to achieve a desired cost-performance trade-off.

We discussed in Section 3 how our results compare: LLM control plane integrity is a distinct AI safety issue, but related in that: (1) control plane integrity attacks may use evasion-style techniques, and (2) control plane integrity attacks might be useful for performing evasion.\n**Prompt injection against LLMs.** Prompt injection is a class of attacks against LLMs in which the adversary manipulates the prompt, i.e., the textual input fed directly to the LLM, causing the LLM to generate outputs that satisfy some adver- sarial objective [50, 64]. Evasion attacks as discussed above can use prompt injection, jailbreaking attacks being a widely explored example in which the adversary aims to bypass some safety guardrail included in the LLM system, such as “do not output expletives” [23, 42, 54, 66, 72, 73].\nPrompt injection is also used for extraction attacks that aim to infer some information from or about the model, for example, the system prompt [50, 54, 70], training data samples [46], or model parameters [18]. In indirect prompt injection attacks [33], the adversaries do not directly interact with the target LLM, and instead inject adversarial inputs into third- party data, which is then added to the LLM prompt (intentionally or unintentionally) by the victim application and/or its users. This relates to another category of attacks that target LLM-based applications, such as RAG systems, and invalidate their integrity by exploiting the weaknesses of the underlying LLM [19, 55].", + "page_start": 16, + "page_end": 16, + "source_file": "arxiv1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# R EROUTING LLM R OUTERS\n\n## **2 LLM Control Planes and Routing**\n\nNon-prescriptive routing [15, 20, 68] uses the responses from one or more underlying LLMs to determine which response to return to the user. For example, FrugalGPT [20] submits the query to a sequence of models (ordered by price) called a cascade, stopping when it obtains a response classified by the router as sufficient.\n2\nIn contrast to routers motivated by controlling costs, several LLM router designs focus solely on improving quality of responses [31, 45, 57, 58].\nThe LLM routers described thus far do not modify the queries or individual LLM responses. Other types of control planes do. Ensemble approaches such as mixture-of-expert (MoE) [29, 30, 52, 56] architectures select a subset of underlying models to apply to each token of a query and merge their responses. LLM synthesis [40] architectures operate similarly, but route the entire query to a subset of underlying LLMs and merge their responses. These approaches reduce inference costs by using fewer and/or less complex underlying models.\n**Applications of LLM routers.** A key use case for LLM routers is to help LLM-based application reduce cost. Several commercial routers, including Unify [12], Martian [5], NotDiamond [7], and others, offer this as a service. By replacing a few lines of code, the application can send user queries to a router service, rather than directly to some LLM provider. The service selects the optimal LLM and forwards the queries. Commercial router services claim that this results in significant cost savings: up to 98% in the case of Martian [5], and 10 *×* in the case of NotDiamond [7].", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "arxiv1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# R EROUTING LLM R OUTERS\n\n## **9 Related Work**\n\nOur attacks also modify queries, but with a different aim than the above types of attacks: undermining the integrity of the control plane routing, rather than the LLM itself. Future work might investigate indirect control plane integrity attacks that, analogously to indirect prompt injection, serve to somehow trick users of a routing system into forming control- plane-confounding queries.\n**Attacks against MoE.** Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures enable using multiple expert modules for processing a given query with a lower computational cost by including an inner routing mechanism that in every layer routes different tokens to a small number of experts [29, 30, 52, 56]. This can be thought of as an internal router within a single LLM, rather than an external control plane that orchestrates multiple LLMs. MoE has increased in popularity as it allows to build larger models at a fixed compute budget—not all parameters are used at the same time.\nHayes et al. [34] identified a vulnerability in MoE that can be exploited for a denial-of-service attack against MoE. Thus control plane integrity issues appear to extend to the context of single-LLM MoE systems, and future work could explore this connection further.\nYona et al. [67] presented a side-channel attack on MoE that enables an attacker to reveal other users’ prompts. We expect that side-channel attacks against LLM control planes exist as well, for example, to infer which models are used via timing of responses.

In practice, the adversary might prefer a *query-independent* attack. Our con- founder gadget approach extends to this setting readily: perform the search routine above for an empty query. In other words, just ignore *x* *i* in the query-dependent attack above, replacing *S* *θ* ( *c* *∥* *x* *i* ) in Eq. 1 with *S* *θ* ( *c* ) . This finds a sin- gle query-independent confounder *c* that can be prefixed to all queries, i.e., ˆ *x* *i* = *c* *∥* *x* *i* . We will show that this works surprisingly well.\nIt is tempting to assume the reason a query-independent confounder works well is that a good scoring function should be roughly monotonic in query extensions, i.e., one might expect that *S* *θ* ( *c* *∥* *x* ) *≥* *S* *θ* ( *c* ) for almost any suffix *x* . This intuition is not correct. In our experiments, we found that *S* *θ* ( *c* *∥* *x* ) *< S* *θ* ( *c* ) for many *x* and some of the routers discussed below. Nevertheless, by ensuring that *S* *θ* ( *c* ) is pretty high (set the number of iterations *T* higher) the resulting query-independent confounder works well. That is, we at least get that *S* *θ* ( *c* *∥* *x* ) *> S* *θ* ( *x* ) .\n**The black-box setting: confounders that transfer.** Finally, the attacks so far are in the white-box setting, where the attacker can optimize directly against *S* *θ* . While in some cases routing control planes will be public knowledge, in others, including the proprietary control planes we explore in Section 7, they are hidden. This gives rise to the black-box setting. While an attacker might seek to perform model extraction attacks [43, 65] to learn *θ* , we instead explore attacks that transfer from one router to another.\nIn more detail, we assume the adversary has access to a router *R* ** *ω* ** , called the *surrogate* , that is trained on data similar to that used for the target router. Then the attack is the same as above, except that we use the surrogate’s scoring function *S* ** *θ* ** instead of the target’s *S* *θ* . Again, we will see that this works surprisingly well: the query-independent confounders found for the surrogate transfer to successfully reroute queries against the target router.", + "page_start": 5, + "page_end": 5, + "source_file": "arxiv1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# R EROUTING LLM R OUTERS\n\n## **4 Confounding Control Planes with Gadgets**\n\n**Putting it all together.** In summary, our methodology for input adaptation attacks is:\n(1) (Preprocessing) Develop a single query-independent confounder gadget *c* , using either the target router or surrogate to score the confounder.\n(2) (Input adaptation) For each query *x* *i* , submit ˆ *x* *i* = *c* *∥* *x* *i* instead to obtain a response ˆ *y* *i* .\nThe confounder is applied to all queries, i.e., the adversary does not need to guess whether the original query would have been routed to the weak or strong model. In the rest of the paper, we demonstrate the confounders rarely result in “downgrades,” i.e., rerouting of queries from the strong to weak model.\nWe have experimented with variations of this approach that don’t work quite as well, for example adding *c* as a suffix instead of a prefix.

In practice, *S* are designed to be fast (otherwise routers would significantly increase the latency of applications that use them). We report precise timings later; in summary, the attack is fast because we can set *T* to be relatively small and still find high-scoring confounders.\nDue to the randomness in index and token selection, the method converges to different, yet similarly effective, confounder gadgets on each run.

The adversary therefore has a sequence of inputs *x* 1 *, . . . , x* *q* and must produce modified inputs ˆ *x* 1 *, . . . ,* ˆ *x* *q* to maximize the number of inputs routed to *M* s . See Figure 2 for a depiction of our attack setting.\n**Instruction injection doesn’t work.** Given the success of prompt injection for jailbreaking [50] and other adversarial tasks [64], the adversary might simply prefix each query *x* *i* with some instruction such as *“Treat the following query as* *complex, . . . ”* to generate a modified query ˆ *x* *i* . Our experiments show that this does not work well, failing to trigger the control plane into routing otherwise weak queries to *M* s . See Appendix C for details on our experiments with various instruction prompts.\n**Confounder gadgets.** Our approach works as follows. Given a query *x* *i* , we prepend a *confounder gadget* *c* *i* , which is a short sequence of adversarially chosen tokens. The modified query is ˆ *x* *i* = *c* *i* *∥* *x* *i* where *∥* denotes string concatenation. Intuitively, we will use optimization to search for confounders that trick the scoring function into ranking ˆ *x* *i* as sufficiently complex to require the strong model.\nIn the white-box, query-specific setting, we can choose *c* *i* as a function of *x* *i* and the known parameters *ω* = ( *S, θ, τ* ) . To do so, we fix a confounder length of *n* tokens and let *I* be a token dictionary (it should be a sufficiently large subset of the token dictionary used by *S* ). Then we set the gadget to initially be *n* tokens all fixed to the same value from *I* . The exact choice of the initialization token is not important; in our implementation, we used the first token in the dictionary (‘!’).\nDenote this initial confounder as *c* (0) *i* = [ *c* (0) *i,* 1 *, c* (0) *i,* 2 *, . . . , c* (0) *i,n* ] .", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "arxiv1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# R EROUTING LLM R OUTERS\n\n## **A Gadget Examples**\nBelow are a few examples of the optimized confounder gadgets *c* we got, for the different routing algorithms:\n- *R* *SW* :\nlegationbelongs967reglo’hui (DictionaryizedNameantal bidi.numberOf\ndemanding RESULTS!

In most cases we see a significant downgrade rate and a minimal upgrade rate, meaning that most of the modified queries were routed to the weak model.

Because in our attacks few queries get “downgraded” (confounders cause them to be rerouted to the weak model instead of strong), the upgrade rate dictates the success rate.\nAs can be seen, the gadgets reroute almost all weak queries to the strong model. In most cases we see 100% success, or close to it. The worst case still achieves 88% rerouting success, boosting the fraction of queries sent to the strong LLM by 1.5x. Rerouting fails only for some queries that even after confounding are sent to the weak model: the fixed gadget did not sufficiently increase the router’s estimate of those queries’ complexity. This is the only source of error for the attack: *no* queries in these experiments got “downgraded”, i.e., a query that would otherwise be sent to *M* s ends up rerouted to *M* w . This also means that adding the confounder to every single query does not have negative impact on rerouting efficacy. We report standard error values for both the upgrade rates and the total percentage of queries routed to the strong model. The maximal standard error is in the low single digits, indicating similar success rates across gadgets.\n**Quality of attack responses.** We now turn to evaluating the quality of the responses generated by the attack. Note that because we have calibrated the routers to target *ε* = 0 *.* 5 , our attacks can improve response quality by rerouting to the stronger model.

The key insight is that an adversary can modify queries to mislead or “confound” the routing logic into routing these queries to an LLM of the adversary’s choosing. Furthermore, we will demonstrate that these attacks can be black-box and *query-independent* , i.e., a single modification works for all queries and does not require advance knowledge of the specific router being attacked.\n4\nFigure 2: Overview of our attack on LLM routing control plane integrity. The attack adds to each query a prefix (repre- sented by the gear), called a “confounder gadget,” that causes the router to send the query to the strong model.\nWe focus on the binary router setting in which the router applies a learned scoring function to input queries and routes any query whose score exceeds some threshold *τ* to the strong LLM *M* s . This setting has been the focus of several prior works [27, 41, 47] and is used in the control planes that are deployed in practice (see Section 7).\nMore formally, we consider a router *R* *M* *ω* for *M* = *{* *M* w *, M* s *}* , where *ω* consists of a scoring function *S* , scoring function’s parameters *θ* , and a threshold *τ* *∈* R + . For notational brevity we just write *R* *ω* below, with *M* clear from context. Here *S* and *θ* define a scoring function *S* *θ* : *X →* R + . Since our focus is LLMs, we assume that queries *X* are strings of text tokens. The routing algorithm then works as follows:\n*R* *ω* ( *x* ) = � *M* w ( *x* ) if *S* *θ* ( *x* ) *< τ*\n*M* s ( *x* ) otherwise\nwhere *ω* = ( *S, θ, τ* ) . We will detail scoring functions in Section 5; prior work has suggested linear models, light-weight LLMs, and more. Note that, consistent with this application, scoring functions are computationally efficient and cheap (as compared to *M* s *, M* w ).

Distinct from any previous applications of conventional Ramsey separated oscillating fields method [1], which focuses on the absorption spectrum, we here fo-\ncus on the stimulated emission spectrum via multiple coher- ent interactions inside the cavity. We find this Ramsey laser can provide a stimulated-emission spectrum with a linewidth much narrower than that of any conventional optical Ramsey seperated-field spectroscopy, which is commonly applied in optical atomic clock. Our results also show that a subnatural linewidth spectroscopy, superior to any other available subnat- ural spectroscopy technique at present [3- 10], can be reached by this kind of laser, if a suitable atomic level structure is cho- sen. Thus, this method can provide an e ff ective subnatural spectroscopy, and the possibilities for the new optical clock scheme [15] and atom interferometers [2].\n*Theoretical framework:* We consider the case of a two-level atomic beam interacting with a single-mode Ramsey cavity of separated-oscillating-field resonators with the cavity mode linewidth is much wider than the atomic gain linewidth. Thus we call it bad-cavity Ramsey laser. All atoms are pumped onto the upper lasing state **a** before entering the first cavity of seperated field, and the lower lasing state is **b** . We assume all the atoms have the same velocities υ , that means what we consider here is a homogeneous laser system. And for the sake of simplicity, we consider the two-standing waves linear optical Ramsey configuration with a grid as spatial selector [20, 21]. Our treatment can be extended to other configura- tions as in [22- 24]. The length of each oscillating part is *l* , and the length of the free drift region is *L* . The corresponding Hamiltonian is\n*H* = ħ ω ˆ *a* ˆ *a* + ħ � *j*\n[ ω *j* *a* ( *t* ) σ *j* *a* + ω *j* *b* ( *t* ) σ *j* *b* ]\n+ ħ *g* � *j*\nΓ *j* ( *t* )(ˆ *a* ˆ σ *j* − *e* *i* *k* · *r* *j* + ˆ σ *j* + ˆ *ae* *i* *k* · *r* *j* ) , (1)\nwhere ˆ *a* , ˆ *a* are the annihilation and creation operators of the field mode inside the cavity, with the frequency ω , σ *j* *a* = ( | *a* ⟩⟨ *a* | ) *j* and σ *j* *b* = ( | *b* ⟩⟨ *b* | ) *j* are the projection operators for the jth atom corresponding to the upper and lower lasing levels,", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "1001.2670.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity\n\n## **The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity**\n\nwhere Ω *R* is the Rabi frequency on resonance,\n*D* *S T* = *g* 2 ̃ *N* *ass* / *I* 0 γ *ab* , *D* *Ram* = *g* 2 *R* / 2 *I* 0 γ 2 *ab* , and ∆ 2 = ω − ( ω *a* 2 − ω *b* 2 ) presents the detuning in the free drift region. *p* is a parameter, which characterizes the pump- ing statistics: a Poissonian excitation statistics corresponds to *p* = 0 , and for a regular statistics we have *p* = 1. Then the linewidth of Ramsey laser with bad cavity is given by\n*D* = γ 2 *ab* ( κ/ 2 + γ *ab* ) 2 { *D* *S T* + *D* *Ram* [2 *p* sin 2 ( Ω *R* τ ) sin 2 ( 2 *T* )] } . (11) Since *D* *S T* / *D* *Ram* ≪ 1 in our situation, and in the case of max- imal photon number, the steady state value of ̃ *N* *ass* is about *R* τ/ 2. Then we get the\n*D* ≈ 2 *g* 2 κ [2 *p* sin 2 ( Ω *R* τ ) sin 2 ( 2 *T* )] . (12)\nFrom the expression above, we find that the pumping statis- tic can influence the linewidth. For regular injection ( *p* = 1), the linewidth is the narrowest, while for Poissonian injection ( *p* = 0), the linewidth is the broadest. But even for regular injection, the linewidth is larger than the case of one cavity. That means the mechanism of separated-field does not play the role in reducing the linewidth as in the conventional opti- cal Ramsey method, which is counter-intuitive. However, the separated fields are indispensable for any phase detection like atom interferometry. The details about the method of active atom interferometry will appear elsewhere. Our method of Ramsey laser is suitable for any atoms with metastable energy level, as an example, we choose the tran- sition from the metastable state 4 *s* 4 *p* 3 *P* 1 to the ground state 4 *s* 2 1 *S* 0 of 40 Ca to check the striking feature of this laser: sub- natural linewidth. As mentioned in [29], the corresponding natural linewidth of the metastable state 4 *s* 4 *p* 3 *P* 1 is 320Hz. As in the recently proposed active optical clock with atomic beam [15], the velocity of the atoms in thermal atomic beam is about 500m / s, and the length of the interaction region is about 1mm, then the time for the atom to traverse each coherent- interaction region is on the order of magnitude of 1 μ s. If a bad cavity with κ is on the order of 10 7 Hz, the relation κ/ 2 ≫ τ 1 is satisfied. Then when *g* is on the order of the magnitude of kHz, which can be easily achieved for current technique [30], from the linewidth expression of Eq.(16) the order of magnitude of linewidth is below 1 Hz. This means the linewidth of a Ramsey laser can be more than two or- ders of magnitude narrower than the atomic natural linewidth, therefore our Ramsey method provides a new subnatural spec- troscopy technique. And since it is stimulated-emission spec- trum, it overcomes the di ffi culty in other subnatural linewidth spectroscopy schemes where the quick reduction of signal to noise ratio is a formidable limit. We should point out that this Ramsey laser does not escape the limitation of all active optical clock: in order to pump atoms to the excited state ef- fectively and to be stimulated emit photon during the lifetime of a metastable state, this new method will only be applicable to some special transitions [17].", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "1001.2670.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity\n\n## **The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity**\n\n( δφ 2 ) ω = 1 *I* 0 ( δ *Y* 2 ) ω .\nIn the region γ *ab* ≪ *T* 1 ≪ τ 1 ≪ κ/ 2, as in the recently proposed active optical clock [15] with atomic beam.

R. China* (Dated: October 29, 2018)\nWe investigate a new laser scheme by using Ramsey separated-field technique with bad cavity. By studying the linewidth of the stimulated-emission spectrum of this kind of laser inside the cavity, we find its linewidth is more than two orders of magnitude narrower than atomic natural linewidth, and it is far superior to that of conventional optical Ramsey method and any other available subnatural linewidth spectroscopy at present. Since any cavity related noise is reduced to cavity-pulling e ff ect in bad cavity laser, this Ramsey laser provides the possibility of precision subnatural linewidth spectroscopy, which is critical for the next generation of optical clock and atom interferometers.\nPACS numbers: 42.55.Ah, 42.50.Ar, 42.60.Da, 32.30.-r\n*Introduction:* Since the invention of the separated-field technique [1], it has played an important role in the field of precision spectroscopy due to its linewidth narrowing e ff ect via multiple coherent interaction. Atomic clocks based on this technique have greatly extended our ability for frequency measurement, further, almost all the atom interferometers are based on this technique [2].\nThough, the natural linewidth of quantum transition was regarded as the ultimate limit to high-resolution laser spec- troscopy [4], several methods of subnatural linewidth spec- troscopy have been proposed to gain subnatural linewidth [3- 10]. However, in all these e ff orts, including optical Ramsey spectroscopy, subnatural line is realized at the expense of a quick reduction in signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio due to the ex- ponential decaying of signal, thus all these schemes can only get the linewidth several times narrower than the atomic nat- ural linewidth. In the past three decades, this situation does not change in the field of the precision laser spectroscopy. On the other hand, the thermal noise of the cavity mirrors is the main obstacle for further linewidth reduction of a laser [11, 12], and it is a challenge to substantially reduce this noise further[13]. Recently, a new scheme, called active optical clock [14- 18], was proposed to substantially reduce the laser linewidth. With lattice trapped atoms, it is possible to reach mHz linewidth laser based on the mechanism of active optical clock [14, 15, 19]. The principal mechanism of active optical clock is to directly extract light emitted from the ultranarrow atomic transition with a cavity mode linewidth much wider than that of lasing. This bad cavity ensures that any frequency shift due to cavity noise reduces to cavity-pulling e ff ect [15- 17], then the thermal noise is not the major obstacle again for reducing the linewidth. This means the bad cavity can play an indispensable role in new subnatural linewidth spectroscopy.", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "1001.2670.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity\n\n## **The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity**\n\n*Conclusion:* In summary, we propose a new subnatural linewidth spectroscopy technique, which is a laser by us- ing Ramsey seperated-field cavity to realize the output of stimulated-emission radiation via multiple coherent interac- tion with atomic beam. We find the linewidth of Ramsey laser is subnatural if we choose an appropriate atomic level, and the bad-cavity laser mechanism will dramatically reduce cavity- related noise as discussed in active optical clock [15- 19].

Then the measured spectra of field fluc- tuations will be directly related to these quantities. By Fourier transformations of the linearized equation, we get the ampli- tude and phase quadrature components δ *X* ( ω ) and δ *Y* ( ω ) [26]. Well above threshold, one can neglect the amplitude fluctu- ations, and the linewidth inside the cavity is related to the phase-di ff usion coe ffi cient [25]. For small fluctuation of laser phase, the spectrum of phase fluctuations is simply related to the spectrum of the phase quadrature component of the field fluctuations, namely,", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "1001.2670.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity\n\n## **The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity**\n\n ̇ *N* *b* ( *t* ) = − *R* ( *B* 0 − *B* 1 + *B* 2 ) − γ *b* *N* *b* ( *t* ) + γ *a* *N* *a* ( *t* )\n+ *g* [ *a* ( *t* ) *M* ( *t* ) + *M* ( *t* ) *a* ( *t* )] + *F* *b* ( *t* ) , (5)\n ̇ *M* ( *t* ) = − *R* ( *C* 0 − *C* 1 + *C* 2 ) − γ *ab* *M* ( *t* )\n+ *g* [ *N* *a* ( *t* ) − *N* *b* ( *t* )] *a* ( *t* ) + *F* *M* ( *t* ) , (6)\nwhere the macroscopic noise operators are defined as\n*F* *a* ( *t* ) = � *j*\n ̇ Γ *j* ( *t* ) σ *j* *a* ( *t* ) *R* (1 *A* 0 + *A* 1 *A* 2 ) + � *j*\nΓ *j* ( *t* ) *f* *j* *a* ( *t* ) ,\n*F* *b* ( *t* ) = � *j*\n ̇ Γ *j* ( *t* ) σ *j* *b* ( *t* ) + *R* ( *B* 0 *B* 1 + *B* 2 ) + � *j*\nΓ *j* ( *t* ) *f* *j* *b* ( *t* ) ,\n*F* *M* ( *t* ) = − *i* � *j*\n ̇ Γ *j* ( *t* ) ̃ σ *j* − ( *t* ) + *R* ( *C* 0 *C* 1 + *C* 2 ) *i* � *j*\nΓ *j* ( *t* ) *f* *j* σ ( *t* ) ,\nwith *A* 0 = � σ *j* *a* ( *t* *j* + τ ) � *q* , *A* 1 = � σ *j* *a* ( *t* *j* + τ + *T* ) � *q* ,\n*A* 2 = � σ *j* *a* ( *t* *j* + 2 τ + *T* ) � *q* , *B* 0 = � σ *j* *b* ( *t* *j* + τ ) � *q* ,\n*B* 1 = � σ *j* *b* ( *t* *j* + τ + *T* ) � *q* , *B* 2 = � σ *j* *b* ( *t* *j* + 2 τ + *T* ) � *q* ,\n*C* 0 = � − *i* σ *j* − ( *t* *j* + τ ) � *q* , *C* 1 = � − *i* σ *j* − ( *t* *j* + τ + *T* ) � *q* ,", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "1001.2670.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity\n\n## **The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity**\n\nwith frequency ω *j* *a* and ω *j* *b* , and σ *j* − = ( | *b* ⟩⟨ *a* | ) *j* is the “spin- flip” operator for the jth atom, with its adjoint σ *j* + = ( | *a* ⟩⟨ *b* | ) *j* .

For regular injection ( *p* = 1), the linewidth is the narrowest, while for Poissonian injection ( *p* = 0), the linewidth is the broadest. But even for regular injection, the linewidth is larger than the case of one cavity. That means the mechanism of separated-field does not play the role in reducing the linewidth as in the conventional opti- cal Ramsey method, which is counter-intuitive. However, the separated fields are indispensable for any phase detection like atom interferometry. The details about the method of active atom interferometry will appear elsewhere. Our method of Ramsey laser is suitable for any atoms with metastable energy level, as an example, we choose the tran- sition from the metastable state 4 *s* 4 *p* 3 *P* 1 to the ground state 4 *s* 2 1 *S* 0 of 40 Ca to check the striking feature of this laser: sub- natural linewidth. As mentioned in [29], the corresponding natural linewidth of the metastable state 4 *s* 4 *p* 3 *P* 1 is 320Hz. As in the recently proposed active optical clock with atomic beam [15], the velocity of the atoms in thermal atomic beam is about 500m / s, and the length of the interaction region is about 1mm, then the time for the atom to traverse each coherent- interaction region is on the order of magnitude of 1 μ s. If a bad cavity with κ is on the order of 10 7 Hz, the relation κ/ 2 ≫ τ 1 is satisfied. Then when *g* is on the order of the magnitude of kHz, which can be easily achieved for current technique [30], from the linewidth expression of Eq.(16) the order of magnitude of linewidth is below 1 Hz. This means the linewidth of a Ramsey laser can be more than two or- ders of magnitude narrower than the atomic natural linewidth, therefore our Ramsey method provides a new subnatural spec- troscopy technique. And since it is stimulated-emission spec- trum, it overcomes the di ffi culty in other subnatural linewidth spectroscopy schemes where the quick reduction of signal to noise ratio is a formidable limit. We should point out that this Ramsey laser does not escape the limitation of all active optical clock: in order to pump atoms to the excited state ef- fectively and to be stimulated emit photon during the lifetime of a metastable state, this new method will only be applicable to some special transitions [17].", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "1001.2670.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity\n\n## **The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity**\n\n ̇ *N* *b* ( *t* ) = − *R* ( *B* 0 − *B* 1 + *B* 2 ) − γ *b* *N* *b* ( *t* ) + γ *a* *N* *a* ( *t* )\n+ *g* [ *a* ( *t* ) *M* ( *t* ) + *M* ( *t* ) *a* ( *t* )] + *F* *b* ( *t* ) , (5)\n ̇ *M* ( *t* ) = − *R* ( *C* 0 − *C* 1 + *C* 2 ) − γ *ab* *M* ( *t* )\n+ *g* [ *N* *a* ( *t* ) − *N* *b* ( *t* )] *a* ( *t* ) + *F* *M* ( *t* ) , (6)\nwhere the macroscopic noise operators are defined as\n*F* *a* ( *t* ) = � *j*\n ̇ Γ *j* ( *t* ) σ *j* *a* ( *t* ) *R* (1 *A* 0 + *A* 1 *A* 2 ) + � *j*\nΓ *j* ( *t* ) *f* *j* *a* ( *t* ) ,\n*F* *b* ( *t* ) = � *j*\n ̇ Γ *j* ( *t* ) σ *j* *b* ( *t* ) + *R* ( *B* 0 *B* 1 + *B* 2 ) + � *j*\nΓ *j* ( *t* ) *f* *j* *b* ( *t* ) ,\n*F* *M* ( *t* ) = − *i* � *j*\n ̇ Γ *j* ( *t* ) ̃ σ *j* − ( *t* ) + *R* ( *C* 0 *C* 1 + *C* 2 ) *i* � *j*\nΓ *j* ( *t* ) *f* *j* σ ( *t* ) ,\nwith *A* 0 = � σ *j* *a* ( *t* *j* + τ ) � *q* , *A* 1 = � σ *j* *a* ( *t* *j* + τ + *T* ) � *q* ,\n*A* 2 = � σ *j* *a* ( *t* *j* + 2 τ + *T* ) � *q* , *B* 0 = � σ *j* *b* ( *t* *j* + τ ) � *q* ,\n*B* 1 = � σ *j* *b* ( *t* *j* + τ + *T* ) � *q* , *B* 2 = � σ *j* *b* ( *t* *j* + 2 τ + *T* ) � *q* ,\n*C* 0 = � − *i* σ *j* − ( *t* *j* + τ ) � *q* , *C* 1 = � − *i* σ *j* − ( *t* *j* + τ + *T* ) � *q* ,", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "1001.2670.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity\n\n## **The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity**\n\n*Conclusion:* In summary, we propose a new subnatural linewidth spectroscopy technique, which is a laser by us- ing Ramsey seperated-field cavity to realize the output of stimulated-emission radiation via multiple coherent interac- tion with atomic beam.

Distinct from any previous applications of conventional Ramsey separated oscillating fields method [1], which focuses on the absorption spectrum, we here fo-\ncus on the stimulated emission spectrum via multiple coher- ent interactions inside the cavity. We find this Ramsey laser can provide a stimulated-emission spectrum with a linewidth much narrower than that of any conventional optical Ramsey seperated-field spectroscopy, which is commonly applied in optical atomic clock. Our results also show that a subnatural linewidth spectroscopy, superior to any other available subnat- ural spectroscopy technique at present [3- 10], can be reached by this kind of laser, if a suitable atomic level structure is cho- sen. Thus, this method can provide an e ff ective subnatural spectroscopy, and the possibilities for the new optical clock scheme [15] and atom interferometers [2].\n*Theoretical framework:* We consider the case of a two-level atomic beam interacting with a single-mode Ramsey cavity of separated-oscillating-field resonators with the cavity mode linewidth is much wider than the atomic gain linewidth. Thus we call it bad-cavity Ramsey laser. All atoms are pumped onto the upper lasing state **a** before entering the first cavity of seperated field, and the lower lasing state is **b** . We assume all the atoms have the same velocities υ , that means what we consider here is a homogeneous laser system. And for the sake of simplicity, we consider the two-standing waves linear optical Ramsey configuration with a grid as spatial selector [20, 21]. Our treatment can be extended to other configura- tions as in [22- 24]. The length of each oscillating part is *l* , and the length of the free drift region is *L* .

Then the linewidth of Ramsey laser with bad cavity is given by\n*D* = γ 2 *ab* ( κ/ 2 + γ *ab* ) 2 { *D* *S T* + *D* *Ram* [2 *p* sin 2 ( Ω *R* τ ) sin 2 ( 2 *T* )] } . (11) Since *D* *S T* / *D* *Ram* ≪ 1 in our situation, and in the case of max- imal photon number, the steady state value of ̃ *N* *ass* is about *R* τ/ 2. Then we get the\n*D* ≈ 2 *g* 2 κ [2 *p* sin 2 ( Ω *R* τ ) sin 2 ( 2 *T* )] . (12)\nFrom the expression above, we find that the pumping statis- tic can influence the linewidth. For regular injection ( *p* = 1), the linewidth is the narrowest, while for Poissonian injection ( *p* = 0), the linewidth is the broadest. But even for regular injection, the linewidth is larger than the case of one cavity. That means the mechanism of separated-field does not play the role in reducing the linewidth as in the conventional opti- cal Ramsey method, which is counter-intuitive. However, the separated fields are indispensable for any phase detection like atom interferometry. The details about the method of active atom interferometry will appear elsewhere. Our method of Ramsey laser is suitable for any atoms with metastable energy level, as an example, we choose the tran- sition from the metastable state 4 *s* 4 *p* 3 *P* 1 to the ground state 4 *s* 2 1 *S* 0 of 40 Ca to check the striking feature of this laser: sub- natural linewidth. As mentioned in [29], the corresponding natural linewidth of the metastable state 4 *s* 4 *p* 3 *P* 1 is 320Hz. As in the recently proposed active optical clock with atomic beam [15], the velocity of the atoms in thermal atomic beam is about 500m / s, and the length of the interaction region is about 1mm, then the time for the atom to traverse each coherent- interaction region is on the order of magnitude of 1 μ s. If a bad cavity with κ is on the order of 10 7 Hz, the relation κ/ 2 ≫ τ 1 is satisfied. Then when *g* is on the order of the magnitude of kHz, which can be easily achieved for current technique [30], from the linewidth expression of Eq.(16) the order of magnitude of linewidth is below 1 Hz. This means the linewidth of a Ramsey laser can be more than two or- ders of magnitude narrower than the atomic natural linewidth, therefore our Ramsey method provides a new subnatural spec- troscopy technique. And since it is stimulated-emission spec- trum, it overcomes the di ffi culty in other subnatural linewidth spectroscopy schemes where the quick reduction of signal to noise ratio is a formidable limit. We should point out that this Ramsey laser does not escape the limitation of all active optical clock: in order to pump atoms to the excited state ef- fectively and to be stimulated emit photon during the lifetime of a metastable state, this new method will only be applicable to some special transitions [17].", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "1001.2670.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity\n\n## **The Linewidth of Ramsey Laser with Bad Cavity**\n\n+ ̃ *D* (4) *kl* δ ( *t* *t* + τ + *T* ) + ̃ *D* (5) *kl* δ ( *t* *t* 2 τ *T* )\n+ ̃ *D* (6) *kl* δ ( *t* *t* + 2 τ + *T* ) + ̃ *D* (7) *kl* δ ( *t* *t* *T* )\n+ ̃ *D* (8) *kl* δ ( *t* *t* + *T* ) , (8)\nwhere ̃ *D* ( *i* ) *kl* are the c-number Langevin di ff usion coe ffi cients, related to quantum Langevin di ff usion coe ffi cients *D* ( *i* ) *kl* as in [27].\n*Steady-state solutions:* The steady-state solutions for the mean values of the field and atomic variables for laser op- eration are obtained by dropping the noise terms of the c- number Langevin equations and setting the time derivatives equal to zero. The analytical solutions are very complex, and one could numerically solve the steady-state equations. In this paper, we only care about the bad cavity limit γ *max* ≪ *T* 1 ≪ τ 1 ≪ κ/ 2. Since the atomic transit time is much shorter than the damping times of atomic variables, one could ignore the e ff ect of the spontaneous emission of the atom.

In this paper, we assume the steady- state solution is stable. *Laser linwidth:* Suppose the quantum fluctuation is small, the evolution of the fluctuations can be obtained by making a linearization of the c-number Langevin equations around the steady-state solution.

The silver-rich mineralisation is\nhosted by the Esperanza high-sulphidation\nepithermal alteration system associated with\nthe Cerros Bravos volcanic complex.\nThe project consists of three well-defined miner-\nalised deposits and a number of undeveloped\nexploration targets. The main deposits are\nArqueros, Chimberos and Teterita. Arqueros was\npreviously mined on a limited scale by under-\nground methods and Chimberos was exploited\nas an open pit mine, delivering about 40 million\nounces of silver in 1998/99. All three deposits\ncurrently have a combined Mineral Resources of\nabout 93 million ounces of silver equivalent or\n1.6 million ounces of gold equivalent (EQ60) 1 .\nA feasibility study for a decision to mine the\nArqueros portion of Nueva Esperanza was\ncompleted in late 2012, demonstrating that open\npit mining at two million tonnes per year and\nprocessing by milling and agitation leaching in\ncyanide was technically feasible. Work remained\nto integrate the Teterita and Chimberos deposits\ninto the project, as well as to test lower cost\noptions for processing. Continued metallurgical\ntestwork has shown that mineralisation from all\nthree deposits by heap leaching is technically and\neconomically feasible and the preferred alterna-\ntive for development.\nEnvironmental approvals to commence\nconstruction and mining at Nueva Esperanza\nwere granted in July 2013 for the original\nArqueros project.

Although it sanctioned slavery, it attempted to humanise\nthe practice by prohibiting the separation of families. Additionally, in the colonies, only\nRoman Catholics could own slaves, and these had to be baptised.\nLouis ruled through a number of councils:\nConseil d'en haut (\"High Council\", concerning the most important matters of\nstate)—composed of the king, the crown prince, the controller-general of\nfinances, and the secretaries of state in charge of various departments. The\nmembers of that council were called ministers of state.\nConseil des dépêches (\"Council of Messages\", concerning notices and administrative reports from the provinces).\nConseil de Conscience (\"Council of Conscience\", concerning religious affairs and episcopal appointments).\nConseil royal des finances (\"Royal Council of Finances\") headed by the \"chef du conseil des finances\" (an\nhonorary post in most cases)—this was one of the few posts in the council available to the high aristocracy.

Recent trends in the population**\n\nThe ‘Story of the Prison Population 1993 to 2012’ is an in-depth look at what happened to the prison population between 1993 and 2012 and the major factors contributing to the changes. 4\nThe prison population grew rapidly between 1993 to 2008, at an average of 4% a year. This rapid rise was driven by:\n- increased numbers of people sentenced to immediate custody from 1993 to 2002;\n- increases in the average custodial sentence length and increased use of indeterminate sentences; and\n- an increase in numbers recalled to prison following breaches of the conditions of licence and these offenders spending longer in prison once recalled.\n\nThe rise in the prison population slowed considerably from the summer of 2008, in part due to the introduction of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act (CJIA) 2008 5 which changed sentencing and offender management in ways which helped to reduce growth in the prison population.\nThis flatter trend continued until the public disorder seen in UK cities from 6 to 9 August 2011 which had an immediate but temporary impact on the prison population.\nDuring 2012 and into 2013, the prison population began to fall due to a falling remand population and a continued decline in the number of under 18s in custody. The falling remand population during 2012 reflected falling volumes going through the courts plus the introduction, in December 2012, of measures restricting the use of remand for all offenders who would be unlikely to receive a custodial sentence. 6\nFrom the end of August 2013 to the end of October 2013, the remand population rose sharply, driving an overall increase in the prison population. This was being driven by an increase in demand in the Crown Courts, especially among more serious tri-able either way cases. The total population has continued to rise since the beginning of 2014 and reached 85,925 7 on the", + "page_start": 7, + "page_end": 7, + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Prison Population Projections 2014 - 2020 England and Wales Ministry of Justice Statistics Bull[...]\n\n## **2.

The prison population projections are based on assumptions about future custodial convictions and incorporate the anticipated impacts of agreed policy and procedural initiatives.\nThe “Central Scenario” estimates that the prison population will increase from the current position 85,925 1 to 87,700 by June 2015. By the end of June 2020 the prison population is projected to be 90,200. This Central Scenario is our best estimate based on the available information. The projected prison population under our Central Scenario is shown in Chart 1.\nThe prison population projections are produced using a model of flows of offenders into and out of prison which counts the resulting prison population each month.\n**Chart 1: Projected prison population (Central Scenario)**\n**Total Prison Population**\n**Prison population projections from November 2014 to December 2020**\n70,000\n75,000\n80,000\n85,000\n90,000\n95,000\n100,000\n105,000\nNov-14 Mar-15 Jul-15 Nov-15 Mar-16 Jul-16 Nov-16 Mar-17 Jul-17 Nov-17 Mar-18 Jul-18 Nov-18 Mar-19 Jul-19 Nov-19 Mar-20 Jul-20 Nov-20\n**Month End**\n**Prison Population**\nCentral Scenario\nThe Central Scenario has been modelled assuming custodial convictions are broadly in line with recent trends and average length of sentence to be flat based on recent trends.\nThe projections do not attempt to estimate the impact of any future Government policy that is yet to achieve Royal Assent, and therefore become less certain over time.\n\n1 [As at 21 November 2014: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-population-figures-2014](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/prison-population-figures-2014)\n2\nThe assumptions used are based on consultation with policy and operational experts at the Ministry of Justice and the National Offender Management Service.

The Central Scenario in the projections this year shows the population rising over the next six years. This change arises from the fact that the latest projections capture a recent upward trend in prosecutions of more serious offences.\n- Despite the fact that overall crime is falling there has been an increase in recorded crime for certain offence types:\no Prosecutions for sexual offences are the highest in the decade and increased by 19% in the 12 months ending June 2014, in line with a 21% increase in recorded crime. Offenders sentenced for sexual offences had an Average Custodial Sentence Length (ASCL) of 59.7 months, a rise of 2.4 months, compared with year ending June 2013.\no Violence against the person proceedings for indictable offences have increased by 7% in the 12 months ending June 2014. This is in line with an 11% increase in recorded crime.\nFurther statistics and commentary on the changes seen in Court proceedings and sentencing over the last year is presented in the Criminal Justice System Statistics Quarterly publication.

Previous Projections**\n\nAt the end of September 2014 the published prison population was within 1.8 % of the 2013 Scenario 2 (central) projection, and within 3.4 % of the 2013 Scenario 1 projection and 0.2 % of the 2013 Scenario 3 projection. This does not indicate which scenario the actual prison population will track going forward.\nDifferences between the 2013 projections and the actual population could be explained by changes, different to those projected, in overall demand, offence mix, age and gender of defendants, court routes, custody rates or sentence lengths.\nChart 3 plots the 2014 Central Scenario projection against the three 2013 prison population projections. The 2014-2020 Central Scenario projection is above all three scenarios from last year. The higher level of the new projections can be attributed to a more serious case mix coming into the courts with a resulting increase in average custodial sentence lengths. The projection for June 2019 in the Central Scenario this year is 10.2 % above the equivalent scenario (Scenario 2) last year.\n**Chart 3: Comparing 2013 and 2014 projections (November 2014 - December 2020)**\n\n**Total Prison Population**\n**Prison population projections from November 2014 to December 2020**\n70,000\n75,000\n80,000\n85,000\n90,000\n95,000\nNov-14 Mar-15 Jul-15 Nov-15 Mar-16 Jul-16 Nov-16 Mar-17 Jul-17 Nov-17 Mar-18 Jul-18 Nov-18 Mar-19 Jul-19 Nov-19 Mar-20 Jul-20 Nov-20\n**Month End**\n**Prison Population**\n2014 Central Scenario 2013 Scenario 1 2013 Scenario 2 2013 Scenario 3\n13", + "page_start": 14, + "page_end": 14, + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Prison Population Projections 2014 - 2020 England and Wales Ministry of Justice Statistics Bull[...]\n\n## **Appendix B: Detail of models, scenarios and assumptions**\n\nIf required, the Courts and Sentencing Module allows trends in offender demographics and courts and sentencing processes to be incorporated into custodial convictions projections. This procedure was implemented to create the custodial convictions projections used in the three published scenarios.\n\n24\n**3a) Producing prison population projections**\nPrison population projections are produced using the Prison Population Stock- Flow Model. The principal sub-populations in prison - determinate sentence, life sentence, imprisonment for public protection (IPP) and remand - are modelled using stock-flow structures based on the generic structure shown in Figure B2. The stock-flow structures model the flow of offenders into and out of prison and count the resulting prison population at the end of each month.\n**Figure B2: Generic stock-flow structure in the Prison Population Stock-Flow Model**\nPrison Population\nReceptions / Pre-tariff ends Discharges\nAverage Time Served\nPrison Population\nReceptions / Pre-tariff ends Discharges\nAverage Time Served\nFor the determinate population, the monthly inflows to prison are based on the custodial convictions projections described above. These custodial convictions include offenders that may already be serving a sentence for a previous crime or those who would serve their whole custodial sentence on remand, meaning that they would not be a new reception to prison. To convert from custodial convictions to prison receptions we apply a conversion ratio derived from the historical proportions of custodial convictions to prison receptions for each sub-population averaged over the last twelve months of historical data (April 2013 to March 2014 inclusive).\nMonthly outflows for the determinate population are based on observed custodial sentence lengths and the observed percentage of sentence length served taken from October 2013 to April 2014. Each projected offender that enters the model is given a custodial sentence length that is randomly selected from the relevant distribution. These distributions are populated with custodial sentence lengths from actual offender receptions who share the same characteristics of offence, gender and age group in the observed time period. The percent of custodial sentence length served is derived in the same manner, except that the observed distribution is made up of discharged offenders further disaggregated by custodial sentence length band.\nFor offenders who receive the new EDS sentence an adjustment is made to the percent of custodial length served to reflect that these offenders will spend a greater proportion of their sentence in custody than standard determinate sentenced offenders discharged to date.\nProjected prison receptions are sub-divided by age category (Juvenile, Young Adult, Adult) with the exact age of the offender attributed in the same manner as the custodial sentence lengths. This allows the model to explicitly age the offenders whilst in prison (e.g. move from Juvenile to Young Adult categories).", + "page_start": 25, + "page_end": 26, + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Prison Population Projections 2014 - 2020 England and Wales Ministry of Justice Statistics Bull[...]\n\n## **3. Modelling methodology and projection scenarios**\n\n8\n\nAt the core of the method is a model of flows of offenders into and out of prison which counts the resulting prison population each month for sentenced, recall and remand prisoners.\nInputs to the prison projections model include projections of future custodial convictions. These are generated from time series projections of numbers of defendants entering the criminal courts and take into account the age, gender and offence of defendants entering the system, the flow of cases through the courts and the sentences which concluded cases attract.\nThe prison projections model monitors the sizes of the sentenced, recall and remand prison populations. These populations depend on the inflows defined above and the outflows. These outflows are defined by observed distributions of custodial sentence lengths, and the proportion of custodial sentences served for subsets of these populations. The model also simulates the ageing of the prison population over time.\nThe projection model is based on data up to June 2014 from various sources including court proceedings and performance data, sentencing data and prison receptions and population data.\nThe results of the prison projections model are supplemented with an estimate of the future non-criminal and fine defaulter populations, which is based on the latest available data to September 2014.\nThree scenarios have been modelled. These scenarios track the impact of three different incremental changes in sentencing behaviour:\n- The Central Scenario assumes custodial convictions are broadly in line with recent trends. The average length of sentence is assumed to be flat based on recent trends in sentence lengths. This broadly reflects the assumptions for Scenario 2 in the November 2013 projections.\nWe also consider two illustrative scenarios\n- Scenario 1 assumes that custodial convictions will fall against recent trends. The average length of sentence is assumed to be lower than what has been observed in recent trends in sentence lengths.\n- Scenario 2 assumes a rise in custodial convictions when compared to recent trends. Also the average length of sentence is assumed to be higher than what has been observed in recent trends in sentence lengths.\nThe three scenarios also incorporate the impact of:", + "page_start": 9, + "page_end": 10, + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Prison Population Projections 2014 - 2020 England and Wales Ministry of Justice Statistics Bull[...]\n\n## **Appendix A: Additional tables 9**\n\n20", + "page_start": 21, + "page_end": 21, + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf", + "query": "Do you know the prison population estimation for the and of June 2020 ?", + "target_page": 13, + "target_passage": "The Central Scenario estimates that the prison population will rise to 87,700 by the end of June 2015 and to 90,200 by the end of June 2020.

The prison population projections are based on assumptions about future custodial convictions and incorporate the anticipated impacts of agreed policy and procedural initiatives.\nThe “Central Scenario” estimates that the prison population will increase from the current position 85,925 1 to 87,700 by June 2015. By the end of June 2020 the prison population is projected to be 90,200. This Central Scenario is our best estimate based on the available information.

Previous Projections**\n\nAt the end of September 2014 the published prison population was within 1.8 % of the 2013 Scenario 2 (central) projection, and within 3.4 % of the 2013 Scenario 1 projection and 0.2 % of the 2013 Scenario 3 projection. This does not indicate which scenario the actual prison population will track going forward.\nDifferences between the 2013 projections and the actual population could be explained by changes, different to those projected, in overall demand, offence mix, age and gender of defendants, court routes, custody rates or sentence lengths.\nChart 3 plots the 2014 Central Scenario projection against the three 2013 prison population projections. The 2014-2020 Central Scenario projection is above all three scenarios from last year. The higher level of the new projections can be attributed to a more serious case mix coming into the courts with a resulting increase in average custodial sentence lengths. The projection for June 2019 in the Central Scenario this year is 10.2 % above the equivalent scenario (Scenario 2) last year.\n**Chart 3: Comparing 2013 and 2014 projections (November 2014 - December 2020)**\n\n**Total Prison Population**\n**Prison population projections from November 2014 to December 2020**\n70,000\n75,000\n80,000\n85,000\n90,000\n95,000\nNov-14 Mar-15 Jul-15 Nov-15 Mar-16 Jul-16 Nov-16 Mar-17 Jul-17 Nov-17 Mar-18 Jul-18 Nov-18 Mar-19 Jul-19 Nov-19 Mar-20 Jul-20 Nov-20\n**Month End**\n**Prison Population**\n2014 Central Scenario 2013 Scenario 1 2013 Scenario 2 2013 Scenario 3\n13", + "page_start": 14, + "page_end": 14, + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Prison Population Projections 2014 - 2020 England and Wales Ministry of Justice Statistics Bull[...]\n\n## **Contents**\nKey points 2\n1.

Underlying crime levels and the activities of the police and CPS will have an impact on the volume of defendants proceeded against.\nThe Demand Projections Model produces baseline projections of all defendants proceeded against at court for 12 high-level offence categories. This is based on historical time series data (January 2002 to June 2014) at a monthly resolution out to 2020, sub-divided by region and age for the Magistrates’ court and region for the Crown Court.\nThe demand projections are based on time series forecasting methods such as Seasonal Exponential Smoothing (SES). A ‘middle-out’ forecast is used, centred at the offence level. The other levels in the hierarchy are reconciled so that the levels below (e.g. region or offender age) when disaggregated, and the levels above (i.e. totals) when aggregated, are consistent with the forecasts derived at the offence level.\nIt should be noted that these projections cannot be expected to track actual volumes of defendants proceeded against if there is any sudden or cumulative change which takes demand volumes or offence mix well outside the trends seen historically.\n\n**2) Converting the demand projections into custodial convictions**\nA Courts and Sentencing Module converts the demand projections into a set of projections of disposals by disposal type (including custodial convictions), offence, sex and age band at a monthly resolution. These projections of custodial convictions by sex, age and offence type are used as a key input for the Prison Population Stock-Flow model.", + "page_start": 23, + "page_end": 24, + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Prison Population Projections 2014 - 2020 England and Wales Ministry of Justice Statistics Bull[...]\n\n## **Appendix B: Detail of models, scenarios and assumptions**\n\nIf required, the Courts and Sentencing Module allows trends in offender demographics and courts and sentencing processes to be incorporated into custodial convictions projections. This procedure was implemented to create the custodial convictions projections used in the three published scenarios.\n\n24\n**3a) Producing prison population projections**\nPrison population projections are produced using the Prison Population Stock- Flow Model. The principal sub-populations in prison - determinate sentence, life sentence, imprisonment for public protection (IPP) and remand - are modelled using stock-flow structures based on the generic structure shown in Figure B2. The stock-flow structures model the flow of offenders into and out of prison and count the resulting prison population at the end of each month.\n**Figure B2: Generic stock-flow structure in the Prison Population Stock-Flow Model**\nPrison Population\nReceptions / Pre-tariff ends Discharges\nAverage Time Served\nPrison Population\nReceptions / Pre-tariff ends Discharges\nAverage Time Served\nFor the determinate population, the monthly inflows to prison are based on the custodial convictions projections described above. These custodial convictions include offenders that may already be serving a sentence for a previous crime or those who would serve their whole custodial sentence on remand, meaning that they would not be a new reception to prison. To convert from custodial convictions to prison receptions we apply a conversion ratio derived from the historical proportions of custodial convictions to prison receptions for each sub-population averaged over the last twelve months of historical data (April 2013 to March 2014 inclusive).\nMonthly outflows for the determinate population are based on observed custodial sentence lengths and the observed percentage of sentence length served taken from October 2013 to April 2014. Each projected offender that enters the model is given a custodial sentence length that is randomly selected from the relevant distribution. These distributions are populated with custodial sentence lengths from actual offender receptions who share the same characteristics of offence, gender and age group in the observed time period. The percent of custodial sentence length served is derived in the same manner, except that the observed distribution is made up of discharged offenders further disaggregated by custodial sentence length band.\nFor offenders who receive the new EDS sentence an adjustment is made to the percent of custodial length served to reflect that these offenders will spend a greater proportion of their sentence in custody than standard determinate sentenced offenders discharged to date.\nProjected prison receptions are sub-divided by age category (Juvenile, Young Adult, Adult) with the exact age of the offender attributed in the same manner as the custodial sentence lengths. This allows the model to explicitly age the offenders whilst in prison (e.g. move from Juvenile to Young Adult categories).", + "page_start": 25, + "page_end": 26, + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf", + "query": "What is the phone number of the Ministry of Justice press office ?", + "target_page": 30, + "target_passage": "Press enquiries should be directed to the Ministry of Justice press office, telephone: 020 3334 3536 ", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": true, + "index": 0 + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "# Prison Population Projections 2014 - 2020 England and Wales Ministry of Justice Statistics Bull[...]\n\n## **Contact Points for further information**\nCurrent and previous editions of this publication are available for download from www.justice.gov.uk/publications/statistics-and-data/index.htm\nPress enquiries should be directed to the Ministry of Justice press office, telephone: 020 3334 3536\nOther enquiries about these statistics should be directed to:\nJustice Statistics Analytical Services Ministry of Justice 7th Floor 102 Petty France London SW1H 9AJ\nGeneral enquiries about the statistical work of the Ministry of Justice can be e- mailed to: statistics.enquiries@justice.gsi.gov.uk\nGeneral information about the official statistics system of the UK is available from www.statistics.gov.uk\n\n28 29\n\nAlternative format versions of this report are available on request from the [Ministry of Justice at statistics.enquiries@justice.gsi.gov.uk ](mailto:statistics.enquiries@justice.gsi.gov.uk)\n\n© Crown copyright Produced by the Ministry of Justice", + "page_start": 29, + "page_end": 30, + "source_file": "legal4_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ANNUAL REPORT 2004\n\n## **110 SE 6th Street, 28th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301**\n\n####### **Phone: (954) 769-2400 - Fax: (954) 769-2664 - www.republicservices.com**\n* **©2005, RITM, LLC** * * **Republic Services and Republic Services, Inc. names and logos are service marks of RITM, LLC** *", + "page_start": 5, + "page_end": 5, + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# 2004 Annual Report\n\n## CORPORATE DATA\n**110**\n**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION,**\n**PLEASE CONTACT**\n**Investor Relations**\n**Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.**\nGlobal Communications, CSR and IR Division\n17-1, Ginza 6-chome, Chuo-ku\nTokyo 104-8023, Japan\nphone: +81(0)3-5565-2334\nfax: +81(0)3-3546-2669\ne-mail: nissan-ir@mail.nissan.co.jp\n**Corporate Information Website**\nhttp://www.nissan-global.com/\n**Investor Relations Website**\nhttp://www.nissan-global.com/EN/IR/\n**c3**\nThis annual report is printed on recycled paper.", + "page_start": 111, + "page_end": 112, + "source_file": "OTC_NSANY_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# DRAFT FRAMEWORK CONTRACT FOR SERVICES —\n\n## **I.8.

This is just an attempt to give a very high level introduction\nto something that requires significant study to really understand.\nEssentially SPARQL is to the Semantic Web and Knowledge Graphs as SQL is to relational databases. Just as SQL can do more than just query, it can also assert new information into a database, so SPARQL can as well. The current SPARQL plugins for Protégé are somewhat limited and don’t support the statements such as INSERT for entering new data so we will just cover the basics of using SPARQL as a query language but keep in mind there is a lot more to it than what we briefly cover here.\n9.21 Some SPARQL Pizza Queries To start with go to the SPARQL Query tab. If it isn’t already there you can as always add it using Window>Tabs>SPARQL Query. This tab consists of two views, the top which holds the query and the bottom which holds the results. There should be some text already there. It may look confusing, but we’ll explain it. Just to start with hit the Execute button at the bottom of the tab. You should see a bunch of classes and class expressions returned.\nTo understand what is going on you first need to understand that each SPARQL query consists of two parts. The first part at the beginning consists of several namespace prefixes. These statements consist of the prefix used for a particular namespace as well as the IRI associated with this namespace. Recall that these concepts were described in chapter 7. You may be wondering where all these prefixes came from\nsince you didn’t add them to your ontology. The answer is that every OWL ontology comes with a set of\nnamespaces and prefixes that are required to define the ontology.\nAlso, to understand SPARQL you need to “peak under the hood” of OWL. So far, we have been discussing concepts in purely logical and set theoretic terms, i.e., at the semantic level. However, like any language or database there is a lower level that describes how the concepts are mapped to actual data. In a relational database the fundamental construct to represent data is a table. In OWL the fundamental construct is a triple. OWL is actually built on top of RDFS which is a language built on top of RDF. RDF (Resource Description Framework) is a language to describe graphs (in the mathematical sense of the term). I.e., to describe nodes and links.", + "page_start": 67, + "page_end": 68, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#\n\n## Chapter 10.

With these indexes, users can efficiently locate, select, and retrieve documents.\nTypically, indexes are expired when the document data is expired.\nEach application group is *segmented* into multiple physical tables by using a date or a date\nand time field. The size of each physical table is determined by the Max rows setting. Each\nrow in the table contains a set of user-defined and system-defined indexes that enable the\nsearch for a report segment or a document. Index data is loaded into a table. When the Max\nrows value is reached, the table is closed and a new table is created.

SHACL on the other hand can handle both these examples and rather than making the entire ontology inconsistent it simply logs warnings at various levels of severity.\n11.3 Basic SHACL Concepts To understand SHACL recall that the language underlying OWL is RDF which describes graphs as triples of the form: Subject Predicate Object. SHACL also works at the level of RDF because some developers may want to simply use that lower level for reasons of efficiency. Thus, RDF can validate an RDF graph as well as an OWL ontology. Fundamentally, SHACL consists of two components:\n1. An RDF vocabulary for defining data constraints on RDF graphs (which includes OWL since an OWL ontology is an RDF graph). 2. A reasoner for applying the constraints defined in 1 to a specified data graph such as the Pizza ontology.\nOne of the most important classes in 1 is a SHACL Shape . An instance of the SHACL Shape class\nconsists of a set of Targets and Constraints. A Target defines which nodes in the RDF graph that the data constraints apply to. For OWL ontologies this is typically the name of a class which indicates that the constraints apply to all instances of that class. The Constraints define the specific property for the constraint as well as the actual constraints such as the minimum or maximum number of values and the datatype. In the following example, a Target is the Employee class in the Pizza ontology. An example\nconstraint is that the ssn property must have exactly one value. Another example constraint is that the\nformat of the ssn value must be a string of the form: “NNN-NN-NNNN” where each N must be an\ninteger. For more on SHACL see the references in the bibliography.\n11.4 The Protégé SHACL Plug-In To start go to Windows>Tabs and see if you have SHACL Editor as an option. If you don’t then go to File>Check for plugins and select the SHACL4Protege Constraint Validator. You need to restart Protégé to see the new plugin so save your work and then quit and start Protégé and load the Pizza ontology with data.", + "page_start": 77, + "page_end": 77, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### Chapter 11 SHACL\n\nchange them. For more on this see the excellent presentation on SWRL by Martin O’Connor:\n[https://protege.stanford.edu/conference/2009/slides/SWRL2009ProtegeConference.pdf](https://protege.stanford.edu/conference/2009/slides/SWRL2009ProtegeConference.pdf)\nThis is why SPARQL often needs to be used rather than SWRL even though SWRL is more abstract and powerful. SWRL does not support non-monotonic reasoning whereas SPARQL does. Similarly, when validating data, we may want to take actions to change it, e.g., to coerce it into a proper standard format. To do that we need to change rather than add a value, i.e., we need non-monotonic reasoning.\n11.2 The Real World is Messy The other reason for SHACL is that real world data is messy. Over the span of this tutorial, you may have experienced a point where you made an error, and the reasoner marked your ontology as invalid. If you haven’t, congratulations, but as you work with Protégé more you will experience it. This is another by product of using a logic-based language. Simply having one inconsistency makes the entire model invalid. For small examples this is not a problem. When one has tens, hundreds, or even thousands of individuals it isn’t that difficult to find the problem and fix it. However, when dealing with Big Data where one has tens of thousands, millions, or more individuals the prevalence of bad data may be huge.\nI.e., it might be the case that we never get the data to satisfy every integrity constraint which would mean the reasoner is never of any use except to tell us that the ontology is not consistent.\nThus, SHACL provides a way to define data integrity constraints that overlap to some degree with what can be defined in OWL and SWRL. For example, both can define the number of values allowed for a specific property. E.g., that each instance of Employee must have one and only one social security\nnumber ( ssn ). If this were defined as a DL axiom, then the axiom would never fire for employees that\nhad no ssn because of the OWA. On the other hand, if an Employee accidentally had 2 ssn values then", + "page_start": 76, + "page_end": 77, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#\n\n## Chapter 6.

One or more index values identify a unique document in Content Manager\nOnDemand.\nAn *indexer* extracts the index values and optionally stores them in the index file by examining\nthe documents and copying the index values into the index file according to criteria that are\nspecified by the user. Depending on the indexer that is used, the data and indexes are either\ndirectly loaded into Content Management OnDemand or are stored in a set of files that are\nthen read by the load process to store the data to Content Manager OnDemand. The indexer\ncreates the following files:\n� Output file (. out file extension), which contains the documents to load\n� Index file (. ind file extension), which contains the index values for the documents\nThe indexer might also create a resource file with a .res extension, which contains the\nresources that are extracted from the documents.\nOperationally, the loading process **arsload** calls the indexer that is specified on the Indexer\nInformation tab for the specified application. Depending on the indexer type, **arsload**\nperforms one of the following tasks:\n� Creates a set of files that is then loaded by the **arsload** program into the Content Manager\nOnDemand System\n� Directly passes the indexing and document information to the arsload program so that\nthey can be loaded into the Content Manager OnDemand System\nOn Content Manager OnDemand for i, **arsload** is embedded within the ( **ADDPRPTOND** ) user\ninterface. Therefore, run the Add Report to Content Manager OnDemand ( **ADDPRPTOND** )\ncommand instead of **ARSLOAD** .\nIt is possible for the indexing to complete successfully but for the load to fail. The following\nreasons are the most common reasons for a loading failure:\n� Using insufficient system resources\n� Connecting to the wrong database\n� Extracting the wrong index value from the document\nFor information about investigating and resolving common load failures, see 18.1.2, “Indexing\nand loading issues” on page 379.", + "page_start": 185, + "page_end": 185, + "source_file": "sg246915.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### Chapter 11 SHACL\n\n(minCount 1 and maxCount1). The next also applies to ssn and constrains the data further than just\nsaying it must be a string. It must be a string that matches the pattern: \"^\\\\d{3}-\\\\d{2}-\\\\d{4}$\" This is a regex expression that means the pattern must be 3 digits (numeric characters from 0-9), followed by a dash, followed by 2 digits, followed by a dash, followed by 4 digits.\nThe next 2 nodes deal with the hasPhone data property. This property must have at least one value\n(although possibly more) and must also conform to a similar pattern of 3 digits followed by a dash followed by 3 digits followed by a dash followed by 4 digits. Of course, actual phone numbers can be more complex and varied but this is just a simple example.\nFigure 11.1 The SHACL Editor\nNow hit the Validate button. You should see several messages displayed in the long SHACL constraint violations view at the bottom. If you had the Employee class selected when you clicked on Validate, then\nthis view should now read: SHACL constraint violations: 5/8. This means that there were 8 constraint violations and 5 of them were on instances of the Employee class. You can see the violations that apply\nto each Employee by clicking on each individual. You can resize the various columns in this view which\nis helpful to view the information you need. The most useful data is in the Message, Path, and Value columns. All the other columns such as Severity and Source can be made as small as possible to make more room for those other columns. If you do this and click on the Chef individual you will see that she has one constraint violation. See figure 11.2.\nYou can see that the Chef individual has 2 values for the ssn property which is more than allowed. If\nyou examine the Chef individual in the Individuals by class view you will see that this is indeed the case.\n\nFigure 11.2 Constraint Violation for the Chef Individual\n\nIf you click on the Manager individual, you will see that he has a constraint violation because his phone number is not in the proper format.

With a couple of new\nconstructs this is simple. First, in SPARQL a shortcut to identify the type of any entity is to use the keyword a as the predicate. This is just shorthand for rdf:type . Second, when you have multiple\nstatements in a WHERE clause you need to end each one with a period.\nReplace the current query with the following:\nSELECT *\nWHERE { ?customer a pizza:Customer.\n?customer ?relation ?relatedToCustomer.}\nThis will provide a long list of everything in the graph that is an object of some instance of the Customer\nclass. I.e., any entity that is the object of a predicate with a Customer as the subject.\nSuppose you wanted to count the number of Pizzas purchased by Customers so far. For this you use the SPARQL function COUNT. Here is what it would look like:\nSELECT (COUNT(?pizza) AS ?pcount)\nWHERE {?customer pizza:purchasedPizza ?pizza}\nPaste that into the SPARQL query view and hit Execute and you should see the returned value: 15. However, remember this isn’t really all the Pizzas because a few of the purchases were recorded on the\nPizza rather than on the Customer . To get the full number we can take advantage of the fact that we\nhave recorded the number of pizzas that each customer has purchased and use the SPARQL SUM function. That query would be:\nSELECT (SUM(?pnumber) AS ?psum)\nWHERE { ?customer pizza:numberOfPizzasPurchased ?pnumber}\nThis should give you the correct number of 17.\n9.22 SPARQL and IRI Names If you recall, at the beginning of the tutorial we changed the preference for creating new entities to *user* *supplied name* rather than *auto-generated name* which is the default. Now that you have seen examples of using SPARQL we can explain why. With auto-generated names rather than have names such as Customer or purchasedByCustomer our entities would have names such as\nOWLPropertyA4257yri73ff90rmbx and OWLClass23gkb0tk5kd30tm . Thus, the first query would\nbe something like:\nSELECT * WHERE {?customer pizza:OWLPropertyA4257yri73ff90rmbx ?pizza}\nand the second query would be:\nSELECT *\nWHERE {?customer a pizza:OWLClass23gkb0tk5kd30tm.\n?customer ?relation ?relatedToCustomer.}\nThis would be much less intuitive than the user defined names. There are good reasons to use auto- generated names, especially for large ontologies that are implemented in multiple natural languages. However, for new users, especially those who plan to use SPARQL and SHACL, I think it is more intuitive to start with user supplied names and then progress to auto-generated names if and when the requirements show a true need for them. This approach to developing software incrementally rather than to attempt to design the perfect system that can scale for all possible future requirements is known as the Agile approach to software development. In my experience Agile methods have proven themselves in countless real-world projects to deliver better software on time and on budget than the alternative waterfall approach.

Some of these are in the bibliography.\nOne final point: features of OWL and SWRL that new users frequently find frustrating are the Open World Assumption (OWA) and lack of non-monotonic reasoning. The OWA was discussed in chapter 4.13. Non-monotonic reasoning will be discussed in section 11.1. For now, though remember that SPARQL is *not* subject to *either* of these restrictions. With SPARQL one can do non-monotonic reasoning and leverage the more common Closed World Assumption (CWA).

We only collected tweets containing either of the two hashtags in the body\nof the tweets rather than those containing these hashtags in the retweeted or quoted text, as we\nthink that retweeted text or quoted texts cannot directly represent the tweeter’s usage pattern of the\ntwo terminologies.\nTo collect these tweets, we used a Python-based crawler to send requests to the Twitter server to\nselect hashtags, language, start date, and end date as inputs. Once the first request was completed,\nthe server responded with a file in json format and the first 20 qualified tweets in a time-descending\norder. By parsing the json file, we obtained a string for the crawler to build the next request and obtain\nthe next 20 tweets. Thus, a loop was written to keep the crawler sending requests and the crawler was\nautomatically terminated when all the qualified tweets publicly available were collected. Our crawler\nrespected Twitter’s robot.txt and we did not collect, analyze or display any user information in\nour study.\nGiven our goal of exploring the difference between the two discourses, the 615,816 tweets\ncontaining both hashtags simultaneously were excluded to differentiate between the two datasets\nfollowing [ 67 , 80 ].

The\ntechnique described requires knowledge of C++ and COM.\n**Applies to:** Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio, and Word in Office 2024, Office\nLTSC 2024, Microsoft 365 Version 2408 and later.\nThis article explains how third-party software developers can hook in to the fixed-format\nexport feature available in the Office 2024, Office LTSC 2024, Microsoft 365 Version 2408\nand later applications so that they can add their own exporter.\nThe applications include built in exporters for Microsoft XML Paper Specification (XPS)\nand Portable Document Format (PDF). Fixed-file formats expose the content of a\ndocument in a paginated form that is both application-independent and platform-\nindependent.\nSoftware developers can add their own exporter, by writing an Office add-in that\nimplements the **IMsoDocExporter** COM interface. This article describes\n**IMsoDocExporter** and its interaction with a hosting Microsoft 365 application, such as\nWord.\nFixed-format export has been available since the [Office 2007](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/office-2007/aa338206(v=office.12)) release, and this article\nincludes information on the features that are new in the Office 2024, Office LTSC 2024,\nMicrosoft 365 Version 2408 releases.\n| Important |\n|:---|\n| The fixed-format export feature is available in all the applications listed in the preceding Applies to section.

When the user selects this menu item or button, the\nadd-in should use the Microsoft Office Object Model to obtain a pointer to the active\ndocument. It should then call the active document's **ExportAsFixedFormat** method with\nan **IUnknown** interface pointer that supports the **IMsoDocExporter** interface through a\ncall to the **QueryInterface** method. The object model parameter for the interface pointer\nis a VARIANT with VT_UNKNOWN type.\n| Note |\n|:---|\n| For OneNote, the add-in calls the Publish method with a string parameter that is the class ID of the add-in's implementation of the IMsoDocExporter interface.

The Windows\nclient provides other features, such as thumbnails, and configurable and saveable views.\nThe Content Manager OnDemand Windows client also contains other capabilities for viewing\narchive data types, such as Portable Document Format ( *PDF* ) and *User-Defined* .\nStarting with Content Manager OnDemand version 9.5, for both DocType=PDF and\nuser-defined PDF, the Windows Client will attempt to view a PDF document with Adobe\nAcrobat, if it is installed. If Adobe Acrobat is not installed, for DocType=PDF, Adobe Acrobat\nReader will be used instead when the PDF document is viewed.\nBefore Content Manager OnDemand version 9.5, PDF documents can be viewed by the\nWindows client in two ways:\n� If they are configured in the application as data type “PDF”, the rich feature set of the AFP\nand Line Data viewer applies, but Adobe Acrobat Professional is required.\n� If the data type is configured as “User Defined” and “. pdf ” as the extension, the\ndocuments are started externally.

Should the guar-\nanteed allocation be exhausted, further time can\nbe requested from a pool of director’s discre-\ntionary time.\n- Multi-wavelength (MWL) studies of VHE\nblazars ( ∼ 50 h / yr + ToO): Each year one\nblazar receives a deep exposure in a pre-planned\ncampaign of extensive, simultaneous MWL (X-\nray, optical, radio) measurements. ToO observa-\ntion proposals for MWL measurements are also\nsubmitted to lower-energy observatories (e.g.\nSwift) and are triggered by a VERITAS discov-\nery or flaring alert.\n- Distant VHE blazar studies to constrain the ex-\ntragalactic background light (EBL): Here dis-\ntant targets are given a higher priority in the\nblazar discovery program, as well as for the\nMWL observations of known VHE blazars, par-\nticularly those with hard VHE spectra.", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "1001.0770.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# VERITAS Observations of Blazars 1.

Introduction**\n\nthat aims to provide easy-to-use tools for model fitting with AIF models and to introduce\nAIF to the growing community of researchers using Julia for computational psychiatry and\ncognitive modelling. Julia is a free and open-source high-level programming language that\nretains an easy user interface reminiscent of that in M ATLAB and Python. Simultaneously,\n3 of 33\nJulia uses its “just-in-time” (JIT) compilations via the LLVM framework to approach the\nspeed of languages like C without relying on external compilers [ 36 ]. Julia is also natively\nauto-differentiable, which means it can solve what is called the two-language problem\n(i.e., that high-level languages often have to rely on lower-level languages, either for\nperformance or for auto-differentiability; this is the case with standard tools for cognitive\nmodelling, where languages like R [ 37 ] must rely on external languages like STAN [ 38 ] for\nBayesian model fitting). This means that ActiveInference , in conjunction with Turing [ 39 ],\nJulia’s powerful library for Bayesian model fitting, and its newly developed extension for\nbehavioural modelling, ActionModels , makes it possible to use cutting-edge Markov Chain\nMonte Carlo [ 40 ] methods, as well as variational methods [ 35 ], for Bayesian model fitting\nwith AIF. Crucially, this allows researchers to not only simulate AIF in a fast programming\nlanguage, but to also fit them to empirical behaviour, as is performed in cognitive modelling\nand computational psychiatry. Importantly, this also places AIF models in an ecosystem\nof other models for computational psychiatry so that it can easily be compared with\nmodels, like Hierarchical Gaussian Filters [ 41 ], and reinforcement learning models, like the\nclassic Rescorla- Wagner model [ 42 ]. As part of making ActiveInference.jl available to the\nscientific community, and to the larger software ecosystem within computational psychiatry,\nit is implemented as part of the Translational Algorithms for Psychiatry-Advancing Science\n(TAPAS) ecosystem [ 43 ].\nIn the next section, we provide a conceptual and formal introduction to AIF, particu-\nlarly in the context of using POMDP generative models. In Section 3 , we demonstrate how\nto use the package in practice, both for simulation and parameter estimation. In Section 4 ,\nwe give a fully worked example of how ActiveInference can be used with a concrete\nsimulated dataset.

Introduction**\n\nmake up an agents’ preferences by furnishing a set of predictions over future states or\nobservations; in fulfilling these predictions, free energy is minimised. The space of possible\ngenerative models is vast, and they often have to be handcrafted for a given environment.\nHowever, there are some families of generative models that can be considered “universal”\nin the sense that they can be used for most environments. Currently, the most popular of\nthese is the discrete state-space Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP)-\nbased generative models. Since they are ubiquitous in the literature, we focus here on\nmaking these types of generative models available to researchers. There are, however, other\ntypes of universal generative models, like generalised filtering models [ 17 ] or Hierarchical\nGaussian Filtering-based models [ 18 , 19 ], that will be implemented in the future.\nTools for simulating POMDP-AIF models were originally developed as part of the\nDEM [ 20 ] library for M ATLAB [ 21 ] (part of the larger SPM library [ 22 ]). Since then, a\nmodal and flexible software package pymdp [ 23 ] was created for Python [ 24 ], as well as a\nperformance-oriented package cpp-AIF [ 25 ] for C++ [ 26 ] that can be used across platforms.\nFinally, the factor graph library RxInfer [ 27 ] for Julia [ 28 ] has also been used to implement\nsome AIF models on an efficient factor graph back-end [ 29 - 31 ]. The important tools\nthat these packages provide make AIF available for researchers to perform simulation\nstudies and for use in engineering contexts. They do not, however, usually allow for\nfitting models to empirically observed data, which is a fundamental method used in\ncognitive modelling [ 32 ], often in the context of computational psychiatry [ 13 ], to infer the\nmechanisms underlying variations in behaviour or to investigate the differences between\n(for example, clinical) populations. Smith and colleagues [ 33 ] provided a guide for manually\ndoing variational Bayesian parameter estimation based on empirical data, but only in\nM ATLAB and restricted to a particular class of variational parameter estimation methods\n(variational Laplace), instead of the sampling-based methods that currently predominate in\nthe field of cognitive modelling [ 34 , 35 ].\nIn this paper, we introduce ActiveInference.jl , a new software library for Julia [ 28 ]", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed7_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Introducing ActiveInference.jl : A Julia Library for Simulation and Parameter Estimation with Activ[...]\n\n## **2.

POMDPs in Active Inference*\n\nin many cases leading to more uncertain inferences, and vice versa.\n**B** , also called the *transition model* , describes the state-to-state transition probabilities of\nenvironmental states *s* . **B** encodes the agent’s assumptions about how the environment\nchanges over time, depending on its actions. It has a column and a row for each environ-\nmental state *s* , where each column is a categorical probability distribution over the states\nthe environment will take on the next time step, given the state it is currently in. If the envi-\nronment is modelled as multidimensional, there will be a matrix for each environmental\nstate factor. Additionally, there is a separate matrix for each possible action (making each\nfactor in **B** a tensor). This means that for every factor in the model, there may be one or\nmore actions that pick out the appropriate slice of the tensor. Action therefore allows the\nagent to predict that the environment (and the corresponding observations) will change\ndifferently depending on the actions that it chooses. If **B** is imprecise (i.e., highly entropic),\n6 of 33\nit means that the transitions of the environment are expected to be uncertain (and therefore,\noften transition to new states). In this sense, volatile and unstable environments will lead\nto less certain predictions about the future.\n**C** , also called the *preference prior* , is a prior preference over possible observations. It encodes\nthe types of observations that an agent a priori expects to encounter; since minimising ex-\npected free energy through AIF entails taking actions that make the predicted observations\ncome about, **C** also encodes the agent’s preferences. It is a single categorical probability\ndistribution over possible observations; if the observations are multidimensional, there\nis a separate *preference prior* for each observation modality. If **C** is imprecise (i.e., highly\nentropic), its preferences are weak and it will prioritise collecting information over realising\nits preferences; if it has low entropy, the agent will have stronger preferences and instead\nprioritise preferred outcomes or goals.\n**D** , also called the *state prior* , is the agent’s prior belief about the states of the environment. It\nspecifies the agent’s belief about the environmental state before receiving any observations.\nThere is a separate *state prior* over environmental states for each factor. With a more precise\n**A** , the influence of the **D** quickly diminishes since the likelihood overwhelms the prior in", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 5, + "source_file": "pubmed7_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Introducing ActiveInference.jl : A Julia Library for Simulation and Parameter Estimation with Activ[...]\n\n## **2.

Various methods exist for minimising the\n*VFE* ; the one used in pymdp , from which we drew much of our inspiration, is Coordinate\nAscent Variational Inference (CAVI) [ 35 ], where the fixed points of the *VFE* are solved for\nwith coordinate descent (also known as fixed-point iteration (FPI) [ 23 ]). This is also the\nalgorithm currently available in ActiveInference.jl . We correspondingly use a coordinate descent update to find the factorised approximate posterior *q* ( *s* *f* *t* ) that minimises the time- dependent VFE *F* *t* , and therefore optimises for the time-specific variational posterior *q* ( *s* *t* ) .\nTo obtain the coordinate descent update, we start by taking the derivative of *F* *t* with respect to *q* ( *s* *f* *t* ) and setting the derivative to zero [ 23 ]:\n*∂* *F* *t*\n*∂* *q* ( *s* *f* *t* ) = ln *q* ( *s* *f* *t* ) + 1 ** E *q* *i* *\\* *f* [ ln *P* ( *o* *t* *|* *s* *t* )] ** ln � E *P* ( *s* *f* *t* *−* 1 , *u* *f* *t* *−* 1 ) � *P* ( *s* *f* *t* *|* *s* *f* *t* *−* 1 , *u* *f* *t* *−* 1 ) = 0 (14)", + "page_start": 8, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "pubmed7_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Introducing ActiveInference.jl : A Julia Library for Simulation and Parameter Estimation with Activ[...]\n\n## **1. Introduction**\n\nWe introduce a novel software library for Julia, ActiveInference , which lets users\nproduce the simulated behaviour of agents and their internal belief states with active\ninference (AIF) models, as well as fit such models to empirically observed behaviour.\nAIF [ 1 - 3 ] is a generally applicable formal framework for understanding and simulating\nintelligent behaviour that is based in neurobiology and first principles from statistical\nphysics [ 4 - 8 ]. AIF treats action and perception as unified under a joint imperative: to\nminimise the variational free energy ( *VFE* ), which quantifies how well the agent’s internal\ngenerative model explains incoming sensory observations. It is an upper bound on the\nthe surprise from sensory observations, making AIF formally related to prediction error\n*Entropy* **2025** , *27* , 62 [https://doi.org/10.3390/e27010062](https://doi.org/10.3390/e27010062)\n2 of 33\nminimisation [ 9 ]. Choosing actions that minimise the expected free energy ( *EFE* ) of their\nconsequences provides a natural balance between exploratory and exploitative behaviour;\ngeneralises descriptive approaches to behavioural modelling, like reinforcement learning\nand expected utility maximisation; and provides a singular approach to adaptive behaviour\nthat can be used across different environments. AIF was argued to be applicable to any self-\norganising system that actively maintains a stable boundary that defines its integrity [ 10 ],\na broad category that includes cells and plants [ 11 ], as well as humans [ 2 ] and even\ncollectives [ 12 ]. Owing to its generality, AIF has seen a rise in popularity across multiple\nfields. It is used for theoretical simulations of the mechanisms underlying various types of\nbehaviour [ 2 ], computational phenotyping in computational psychiatry [ 13 , 14 ], and agent-\nbased simulations of population dynamics [ 15 ], as well as in engineering and robotics [ 16 ].\nIn AIF, perception and concurrent action are based on performing a variational Bayesian\ninversion of a generative model of the environment (i.e., a model of how the environment\nchanges and brings about sensory observations). This belief updating includes inferring\n(hidden) states of the environment, learning parameters of the generative model and\nlearning the structure of the generative model. Since the requisite inference schemes come\npre-specified, the main task in AIF modelling becomes specifying an appropriate generative\nmodel. This includes specifying priors over environmental states, as well as what might\nbe called *prior preferences* , *preference priors* or *goal priors* : immutable prior expectations that", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed7_cc4.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "pubmed7_cc4.pdf", + "query": "To which system does the AIF apply ?", + "target_page": 2, + "target_passage": "AIF was argued to be applicable to any self organising system that actively maintains a stable boundary that defines its integrity [10], a broad category that includes cells and plants [11], as well as humans [2] and even collectives [12].", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": false, + "index": null + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "## DIRECTORS’ STATUTORY REPORT\n\nstandards which require retrospective application as at 1 January 2004, this accounting standard does not require\nretrospective application.

Active Inference with POMDPs**\n\n### *2.1. POMDPs in Active Inference*\n\nIn AIF, the POMDP is one of the most common families of generative models used\nto make inferences about the environment. It is a Markovian discrete state-space model,\nwhere employing it means representing the environment and observations as inhabiting\none among a set of possible (possibly multidimensional) states, and that the changes\nin these states can only depend on the system’s previous state and the agent’s actions.\nEnvironmental states are not directly observable, so they have to be inferred based on\nincoming sensory observations. In AIF for POMDPs and other generative models in general,\nboth perception and action are cast as Bayesian inferences (see Sections 2.2 and 2.3 ), as well\nas the learning of parameters of the generative model (see Section 2.4 ). Crucially, an agent’s\ngenerative model does not a priori have to be isomorphic to the true environment (i.e.,\nthe data-generating process), although this will generally lead to a successful inference,\nand that the generative model will therefore often come to resemble the environment\nthrough learning.\nA discrete state-space POMDP in AIF is conventionally defined by five main sets of\nparameters: **A** , **B** , **C** , **D** and **E** [ 1 , 33 ], see Figure 1 . Together, these parametrise the agent’s\nprior beliefs about the prior probability of different states in the environment, how states\nof the environment change and how they generate observations. Typically, they will be\nvectors, matrices or tensors; however, henceforth we denote them by their corresponding\nletter in bold. These make up the components needed for the agent to perform AIF.\n**A** , also called the *observation model* , represents the state-to-observation likelihood model.\nThis describes how observations depend on or are generated by states of the environment.\nIt is structured as a matrix with a column for each possible environmental state *s* , and a row\nfor each possible observation *o* . Each column is then a categorical probability distribution\nover the observations that will occur given the environmental state (meaning that each\ncolumn must contain non-negative values that sum to 1). If the observations are multidi-\nmensional (i.e., multiple observations are made at each time point), there is a matrix for\neach observation modality. If two or more states determine the observation, the likelihood\nmodel then becomes a tensor. If **A** is imprecise (i.e., the probabilities are highly entropic and\nevenly distributed), observations are taken to carry less information about the environment,", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "pubmed7_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Introducing ActiveInference.jl : A Julia Library for Simulation and Parameter Estimation with Activ[...]\n\n## **2.

It has a column and a row for each environ-\nmental state *s* , where each column is a categorical probability distribution over the states\nthe environment will take on the next time step, given the state it is currently in. If the envi-\nronment is modelled as multidimensional, there will be a matrix for each environmental\nstate factor. Additionally, there is a separate matrix for each possible action (making each\nfactor in **B** a tensor). This means that for every factor in the model, there may be one or\nmore actions that pick out the appropriate slice of the tensor. Action therefore allows the\nagent to predict that the environment (and the corresponding observations) will change\ndifferently depending on the actions that it chooses. If **B** is imprecise (i.e., highly entropic),\n6 of 33\nit means that the transitions of the environment are expected to be uncertain (and therefore,\noften transition to new states). In this sense, volatile and unstable environments will lead\nto less certain predictions about the future.\n**C** , also called the *preference prior* , is a prior preference over possible observations. It encodes\nthe types of observations that an agent a priori expects to encounter; since minimising ex-\npected free energy through AIF entails taking actions that make the predicted observations\ncome about, **C** also encodes the agent’s preferences. It is a single categorical probability\ndistribution over possible observations; if the observations are multidimensional, there\nis a separate *preference prior* for each observation modality. If **C** is imprecise (i.e., highly\nentropic), its preferences are weak and it will prioritise collecting information over realising\nits preferences; if it has low entropy, the agent will have stronger preferences and instead\nprioritise preferred outcomes or goals.\n**D** , also called the *state prior* , is the agent’s prior belief about the states of the environment. It\nspecifies the agent’s belief about the environmental state before receiving any observations.\nThere is a separate *state prior* over environmental states for each factor.

In the AIF vernacular,\npolicies are allowable sequences of actions, with some specified policy length or temporal\ndepth. **E** encodes the agent’s preferences for choosing certain policies in the absence of\nplans based upon *expected free energy* , sometimes called the agent’s “habits”. It is a single\nprobability distribution over each possible policy.\nIn addition to the five matrices, there are several hyper-parameters that are not part\nof the generative model, but are part of the inference algorithm. Here, we include two of\nthe most common: the *γ* and *α* (inverse) temperature parameters. *γ* , the precision over\npolicies, is the inverse temperature of a softmax transformation of expected free energies\nover policies, which is covered later in this section. After policies have been selected for a\ngiven time step, they are marginalised to calculate the probabilities of taking each possible\naction in the next time step. *α* , the action precision, is the inverse temperature of a softmax\ntransformation on these final action probabilities, with higher values resulting in more\nstochastic action selection.\nAs noted, here we focus specifically on the POMDP-based generative models often\nused in the AIF literature. However, the basic steps when performing AIF—perception,\naction and learning—remain the same across generative models. In the remainder of this\nsection, we describe each of these three steps in turn.\n7 of 33\n**Figure 1.** Depiction of a POMDP generative model.

Active Inference with POMDPs**\n\nIn this section, we briefly describe the core concepts of AIF and POMDPs.

While various extensions, such as structure learning,\nwhich enables an agent to learn the structure or shape of its environment through model\ncomparison [ 44 - 47 ], or hierarchical and temporally deep POMDPs [ 48 , 49 ], are relevant for\nfuture work, describing these in detail is beyond the scope of this foundational paper.\nAt the core of AIF lies the minimisation of a variational free energy upper bound on\nsurprise for perception, as well as action. This is motivated by the free energy principle [ 4 - 8 ] ,\nwhich states that self-organising systems can be described as minimising the variational\nfree energy of their sensory states. The minimisation of free energy generally takes two\n5 of 33\nquantities as its target: the variational free energy ( *VFE* ) in the case of perception and the\nexpected free energy ( *EFE* ) in the case of action. The *VFE* is the free energy associated with\na given sensory observation and is resolved perceptually by updating beliefs about the\nenvironment. The *EFE* is the free energy that is expected in the future, contingent on a\ngiven policy or course of action.

Active Inference with POMDPs**\n\n### *2.4. Learning in Active Inference*\n\nIn AIF, the parameters of the generative model can also be updated via Bayesian-belief-\nupdating methods, a process called “parameter learning” or sometimes just “learning” [ 2 ].\nIn general, this is performed by introducing belief distributions over the possible values\nof the parameters that are subject to learning, and updating this distribution for each\nobservation using Bayesian belief updating. This additionally implies introducing priors\non the belief distributions. Depending on the type of generative model used, the belief\ndistributions and their priors will take different forms, and so will their update equations.\nIn the following, we demonstrate parameter learning specifically in the context of POMDPs.\nThe parameters that are subject to learning in POMDPs are usually the entries in the\nfive matrices. Since the matrices consist of categorical probability distributions, it is natural\nto use Dirichlet distributions—distributions over categorical probability distributions—as\nbelief distributions over their values [ 33 , 52 ]. Beliefs about each probability distribution\nΘ is then described by a Dirichlet distribution parametrised by a set of concentration\nparameters *θ* :\n*p* ( Θ ) = *Dir* ( Θ *|* *θ* ) (19)\nThe concentration parameter of a Dirichlet distribution is essentially a non-negative count\nof how many times the given category (be it a type of observation or state transition) has\noccurred. The distribution of concentration parameter counts will determine the shape\nof the estimated categorical probability distribution, while the scale of the concentration\nparameters will determine the certainty per precision of the belief. Updating beliefs about\nΘ (the parameters in the matrices) then corresponds to updating these concentration\nparameters *θ* with the following update equation:\n*θ* *t* + 1 = *ω* *∗* *θ* *t* + *η* *∗* *χ* *t* (20)\nThe updated value for the concentration parameter ( *θ* *t* + 1 ) is found by adding the previous\nconcentration parameter *θ* *t* multiplied by a forgetting rate *ω* to the observed data count\n*χ* (either the observation in the case of **A** learning, or the inferred state or state transition\nfor other matrices) multiplied by a learning rate *η* . With this relatively simple update\nequation—which, in essence, amounts to just counting the occurrences of categories—an\nAIF agent can update its beliefs about the various matrices it uses to make inferences about\nenvironmental states.

In a systematic review by Müller et al, 4 the combined\nprevalence of dyspnea in the adult general population\nacross 11 studies was estimated to be 10%. Dyspnea can\narise from a broad spectrum of underlying factors,\nincluding both respiratory and nonrespiratory\nconditions. Studies have revealed that dyspnea is not\nsolely attributable to respiratory conditions but is also\nheavily in fl uenced by cardiovascular deconditioning and\nby nonrespiratory factors, including psychosocial, social,\nand environmental determinants. 5 , 6\nDyspnea is a prevalent symptom with consequences that\nextend beyond its physiologic implications. A study in\nEuropean patients with COPD explored the burden of\ndyspnea and identi fi ed potential correlates. The study\nrevealed that higher dyspnea impact correlated with\nlower health-related quality of life, increased work\nimpairment, and a higher frequency of emergency\ndepartment visits. 7\nThe three objectives of our study were as follows: (1) to\nevaluate the impact of dyspnea in adults from the\ngeneral population who had no prior diagnosis of\nrespiratory disease but who reported having signi fi cant\nrespiratory symptoms in the past 6 months; (2) to\nidentify associated risk factors for dyspnea and estimate\ntheir in fl uence on the symptom; and (3) to explore the\nrelationship between dyspnea and health care utilization,\nquality of life, and work productivity in adults with\nundiagnosed respiratory symptoms.", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed6_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Impact of Dyspnea on Adults With Respiratory Symptoms Without a De fi ned Diagnosis [ ]\n\n## Impact of Dyspnea on Adults With Respiratory Symptoms Without a De fi ned Diagnosis\n\nJared Bierbrier, BSc; Emily Gerstein; George A.

These individuals had not been previously diagnosed\nwith any lung conditions and were recruited from 17 Canadian centers using random digit\ndialing. Each participant underwent spirometry testing both before and after using a bron-\nchodilator to determine if they met the diagnostic criteria for COPD, asthma, or preserved\nratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), or if their spirometry results were normal. An age-\nmatched control group (n 1⁄4 231) was similarly recruited using random digit dialing. A dyspnea impact assessment score from 0 to 100 was produced using questions from the\nCOPD Assessment Test and St. George ’ s Respiratory questionnaire.\nRESULTS: Individuals with PRISm (n 1⁄4 172) reported more impactful dyspnea (mean score, 63.0; 95% CI, 59.5-66.4) than those with undiagnosed asthma (n 1⁄4 265; mean score, 56.6; 95% CI, 53.9-59.3) or undiagnosed COPD (n 1⁄4 330; mean score, 57.5; 95% CI, 55.1-59.9). All groups reported signi fi cantly more impactful dyspnea than the control group (mean score,\n13.8; 95% CI, 11.8-15.7). Patient-speci fi c risk factors including age, sex, BMI, smoking, and\ncomorbidities explained 20.6% of the variation in dyspnea. An additional 12.4% of the\nvariation was explained by disease classi fi cation and another 1.7% by the severity of lung\nfunction impairment assessed with spirometry. After adjusting for age, sex, and BMI, greater\ndyspnea impact was associated with increased health care utilization, lower quality of life, and", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "pubmed6_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Impact of Dyspnea on Adults With Respiratory Symptoms Without a De fi ned Diagnosis [ ]\n\n## Impact of Dyspnea on Adults With Respiratory Symptoms Without a De fi ned Diagnosis\n\n### Study Design and Methods\n\n#### Statistical Analysis\nBox plots were used to compare distribution patterns of\ndyspnea impact assessments among the disease groups.\nPairwise comparison tests were conducted to evaluate\nmean dyspnea differences between groups.

Our team met and exceeded the important financial and management goals we told you about here a year ago, and we plan to work just as hard and accomplish just as much in the coming year.\nRepublic is strengthening its competitive position among the leading waste services providers every day. As always, we are doing so by offering our customers cost-effective and safe waste collection, reliable recycling, and environmentally protective disposal options.\nI am proud of our team and what they accomplished. The results tell you just how well they did.\nRevenue in 2004 grew 7.6 percent to $2.7 billion, a record. The increases came largely from new municipal contracts and improved pricing. At the same time, we benefited from our presence in high- growth markets, especially those in the rapidly expanding Sunbelt states.\nWe met last year’s guidance. Net income per diluted share rose 15 percent to $1.53. Our revenue enhancement and cost reduction efforts produced results. We generated a record level of free cash flow - $388 million to be exact. Republic continues to generate strong and predictable levels of cash flow. As in the past year, we will concentrate on free cash flow and use it for acquisitions, reinvestment, repurchases of our stock and regular quarterly cash dividends.\nAs I thought about these achievements, I realized they result from the environment that we work to create for both our customers and our people. We care about our customers and the communities we serve. About our people. About the environment. And, of course, we care about you -- our shareholders. Every year we adopt a theme that captures our Company and our values. Our theme for 2005 is “Republic Services...A Company that cares”.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ANNUAL REPORT 2004\n\n## **110 SE 6th Street, 28th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301**\n\n### **REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.**\n\n####### **Growth Strategy**\n\n‚ * **Internal Growth.** * Our internal growth strategy focuses on retaining existing customers and obtaining\ncommercial, municipal and industrial customers through our well-managed sales and marketing\nactivities.\n*Pricing Activities.* We seek to secure price increases necessary to oÅset increased costs. During the\nfourth quarter of 2003, we implemented a broad-based pricing initiative across all lines of our business.\n*Long-Term Contracts.* We seek to obtain long-term contracts for collecting solid waste in high-\ngrowth markets. These include exclusive franchise agreements with municipalities as well as commer-\ncial and industrial contracts. By obtaining such long-term agreements, we have the opportunity to grow\nour contracted revenue base at the same rate as the underlying population growth in these markets. For\nexample, we have secured exclusive, long-term franchise agreements in high-growth markets such as\nLos Angeles, Orange and Contra Costa Counties in California, Las Vegas, Nevada, Arlington, Texas,\nand many areas of Florida. We believe that this positions our company to experience internal growth\nrates that are generally higher than our industry's overall growth rate. In addition, we believe that by\nsecuring a base of long-term recurring revenue in growth markets, we are better able to protect our\nmarket position from competition and our business may be less susceptible to downturns in economic\nconditions.\n*Sales and Marketing Activities.* We seek to manage our sales and marketing activities to enable our\ncompany to capitalize on our leading positions in many of the markets in which we operate. We\ncurrently have approximately 500 sales and marketing employees in the Ñeld, who are compensated\nusing a commission structure that is focused on generating high levels of quality revenue. For the most\npart, these employees directly solicit business from existing and prospective commercial, industrial,\nmunicipal and residential customers. We emphasize our rate and cost structures when we train new\nand existing sales personnel. In addition, we utilize a contact management system that assists our sales\npeople in tracking leads. It also tracks renewal periods for potential commercial, industrial and\nfranchise contracts.\n*Development Activities.* We seek to identify opportunities to further our position as an integrated\nservice provider in markets where we provide services for a portion of the waste stream. Where\nappropriate, we seek to obtain permits to build transfer stations and/or landÑlls that would provide\n5\nvertically integrated waste services or expand the service area for our existing disposal sites.\nDevelopment projects, while generally less capital intensive, typically require extensive permitting", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 13, + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ANNUAL REPORT 2004\n\n## **110 SE 6th Street, 28th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301**\n\n### **REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.**\n\n####### **ITEM 2.

This is done by utilizing simple and measurable metrics on which\nincentive pay is based. At the Ñeld level, these metrics are based upon free cash Öow, earnings and return on\ninvested capital for each manager's geographic area of responsibility. Great eÅort is taken to ensure that these\nindividual goals agree to the overall goals of the company. Incentive compensation at the corporate level is\nbased on the obtainment of our company's overall goals. In addition, certain Ñeld and corporate employees\nalso participate in a long-term incentive program. We believe this program aligns our company's short- and\nlong-term goals and helps ensure that the long-term success of our company is not sacriÑced for the\nobtainment of short-term goals.\n####### **Corporate History**\nWe were incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1996 by our former parent company, AutoNation,\nInc. In 1998, AutoNation separated its non-hazardous solid waste services division from its other businesses\nand we completed an initial public oÅering of shares of our common stock. In 1999, AutoNation sold\nsubstantially all of its remaining interest in our company in a secondary public oÅering.\n####### **Availability of Reports and Other Information**\nOur corporate website is http://www.republicservices.com.

This includes not only expanding landÑll and\ntransfer capacity and investing in trucks and containers, but also includes investing in information tools\nand training needed to ensure high productivity and quality service throughout all functional areas of\nour business.\n‚ * **Strategic Acquisitions.** * We have and will continue to pursue strategic acquisitions that augment our\nexisting business platform.\n2\n‚ * **Share Repurchases.** * If we are unable to identify opportunities that satisfy our growth strategy, we\nintend to continue to use our free cash Öow to repurchase shares of our common stock at prices that\nprovide value to our stockholders. As of December 31, 2004, we had repurchased a total of 35.2 million\nshares, or approximately 20% of our common stock outstanding at the commencement of our share\nrepurchase program in 2000, for $750.4 million. In October 2004, our board of directors authorized the\nrepurchase of up to an additional $275.0 million of our common stock, of which $274.6 million\nremained available at December 31, 2004. We believe that our share repurchase program will continue\nto enhance stockholder value.\n‚ * **Dividends.** * In July 2003, our board of directors initiated a quarterly cash dividend of $.06 per share.\nEÅective October 2004, our quarterly cash dividend was increased to $.12 per share. We may consider\nincreasing our quarterly cash dividend if we believe it will enhance stockholder value.\n‚ * **Minimize Borrowings.** * To the extent that the opportunities to enhance stockholder value mentioned\nabove are not available, we also intend to continue to use our free cash Öow to minimize our\nborrowings.\nAnother key component of our Ñnancial strategy includes maintaining an investment grade rating on our\nsenior debt. This has allowed us to secure favorable, long-term, Ñxed-rate Ñnancing that reduces our exposure\nto changing interest rates. This has also allowed us, and will continue to allow us, to readily access capital\nmarkets.\nFor certain risks related to our Ñnancial strategy, see \"\"Risk Factors.''\n####### **Operating Strategy**\nWe seek to leverage existing assets and revenue growth to increase operating margins and enhance\nstockholder value.

However, in 2000 we initiated a national accounts\nprogram in response to our customers' needs.\nWe generally do not change the tradenames of the local businesses we acquire, and therefore we do not\noperate nationally under any one mark or tradename. Rather, we rely on the goodwill associated with the\nacquired companies' local tradenames as used in each geographic market in which we operate.\n####### **Customers**\nWe provide services to commercial, industrial, municipal and residential customers. No one customer has\nindividually accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue or of our reportable segment revenue in\nany of the last three years.\n8\n####### **Competition**\nWe operate in a highly competitive industry. Entry into our business and the ability to operate proÑtably\nin the industry requires substantial amounts of capital and managerial experience.\nCompetition in the non-hazardous solid waste industry comes from a few large, national publicly-owned\ncompanies, including Waste Management and Allied Waste Industries, several regional publicly- and\nprivately-owned solid waste companies, and thousands of small privately-owned companies. Some of our\ncompetitors have signiÑcantly larger operations, and may have signiÑcantly greater Ñnancial resources, than\nwe do. In addition to national and regional Ñrms and numerous local companies, we compete with\nmunicipalities that maintain waste collection or disposal operations. These municipalities may have Ñnancial\nadvantages due to the availability of tax revenues and tax-exempt Ñnancing.\nWe compete for collection accounts primarily on the basis of price and the quality of our services. From\ntime to time, our competitors may reduce the price of their services in an eÅort to expand market share or to\nwin a competitively bid municipal contract. This may have an impact on our future revenue and proÑtability.\nIn each market in which we own or operate a landÑll, we compete for landÑll business on the basis of\ndisposal costs, geographical location and quality of operations. Our ability to obtain landÑll business may be\nlimited by the fact that some major collection companies also own or operate landÑlls to which they send their\nwaste. There also has been an increasing trend at the state and local levels to mandate waste reduction at the\nsource and to prohibit the disposal of certain types of waste, such as yard waste, at landÑlls. This may result in\nthe volume of waste going to landÑlls being reduced in certain areas, which may aÅect our ability to operate", + "page_start": 15, + "page_end": 16, + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ANNUAL REPORT 2004\n\n## **2005 Business Initiatives**\n\n####### **(in millions)**\n\nThe accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements.\n54\n####### **REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.

BUSINESS**\n####### **Company Overview**\nWe are a leading provider of services in the domestic non-hazardous solid waste industry. We provide\nnon-hazardous solid waste collection services for commercial, industrial, municipal and residential customers\nthrough 140 collection companies in 22 states. We also own or operate 96 transfer stations, 58 solid waste\nlandÑlls and 35 recycling facilities.\nAs of December 31, 2004, our operations were organized into Ñve regions whose boundaries may change\nfrom time to time: Eastern, Central, Southern, Southwestern and Western. Each region is organized into\nseveral operating areas and each area contains a group of operating locations. Each of our regions and\nsubstantially all our areas provide collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services. We believe that this\norganizational structure facilitates the integration of our operations within each region, which is a critical\ncomponent of our operating strategy. See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for\nfurther discussion of operating segments.\nWe had revenue of $2,708.1 million and $2,517.8 million and operating income of $452.3 million and\n$412.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $190.3 million, or 7.6%,\nincrease in revenue from 2003 to 2004 is primarily attributable to the successful execution of our operating and\ngrowth strategies described below. The $39.6 million, or 9.6%, increase in operating income from 2003 to 2004\nis partially due to higher self-insurance expense during 2003 related to existing claims and was attributable to\nthe expansion of our operations and various changes in estimates as a result of continued negative trends\nthrough the 2003 policy year. The remaining increase in operating income is due to the successful execution of\nour operating and growth strategies described below.\nOur presence in high growth markets throughout the Sunbelt, including California, Florida, Georgia,\nNevada, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas, and in other domestic markets that have experienced\nhigher than average population growth during the past several years, supports our internal growth strategy.

On similar traffic volume in both years, the Company generated an additional $0.4 million due to a favorable rate differential of $0.03 per minute on the increase in the mix of intrastate traffic. The Company’s increased access revenue was also a result of the benefit gained through terminating more minutes through the switch, which increased 36.0 million minutes or 35.7% over 2002. The rates for terminating traffic were similar in both years, although the percentage of terminating traffic to total traffic increased from 58% in 2002 to 65% in 2003.\nWithin wireline revenues, the Telephone operation contributed $22.7 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.2%. Telephone access revenues were $11.6 million, an increase of $0.7 million or 6.7%. During 2003, the Company recorded a $1.2 million reduction to access revenue, of which $0.7 million was related to 2002, resolving disputes with interexchange carriers on the rating of long distance calls transiting the Telephone switching network for termination on wireless networks.\nWireless revenues from the Company’s paging operation were $0.2 million, a decrease of $0.1 million as the customer base increasingly chose alternative wireless services. Paging service subscribers declined by 32.3% in 2003 from 2,940 subscribers to 1,989 subscribers. The paging operation continues to decline as more areas are covered by wireless voice services, which have features that surpass those of paging technologies. The Company anticipates that its paging customer base will continue to decline in the future.\nWireless revenues included tower leases of $2.6 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 24.8%. The increase was the result of other wireless carriers executing additional leases to use space on the Company’s portfolio of towers. Of the 88 towers and poles owned by the Company as of December 31, 2003, 52 towers have one or more external tenants, compared to 46 towers with external tenants at the end of 2002.", + "page_start": 47, + "page_end": 47, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_SHEN_2003.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf", + "query": "Who is the Vice Chairmain of the Board of Republic Services ?", + "target_page": 5, + "target_passage": " Harris W.

We believe that strengthening our regional management teams\nallows us to more eÅectively and eÇciently drive our company's initiatives and helps ensure\nconsistency throughout our organization. Our regional management teams and our area presidents have\nextensive authority, responsibility and autonomy for operations within their respective geographic\nmarkets. Compensation for regional and area management teams is primarily based on the improve-\nment in operating income produced and the free cash Öow and return on invested capital generated in\neach manager's geographic area of responsibility. In addition, through long-term incentive programs,\nincluding stock options, we believe we have one of the lowest turnover levels in the industry for our\nlocal management teams. As a result of retaining experienced managers with extensive knowledge of\nand involvement in their local communities, we are proactive in anticipating our customers' needs and\nadjusting to changes in our markets. We also seek to implement the best practices of our various\nregions and areas throughout our operations to improve operating margins.\n‚ * **Integrated Operations.** * We seek to achieve a high rate of internalization by controlling waste streams\nfrom the point of collection through disposal. We expect that our fully integrated markets generally will\nhave a lower cost of operations and more favorable cash Öows than our non-integrated markets.\nThrough acquisitions and other market development activities, we create market-speciÑc, integrated\noperations typically consisting of one or more collection companies, transfer stations and landÑlls. We\nconsider acquiring companies that own or operate landÑlls with signiÑcant permitted disposal capacity\nand appropriate levels of waste volume. We also seek to acquire solid waste collection companies in\nmarkets in which we own or operate landÑlls. In addition, we generate internal growth in our disposal\noperations by developing new landÑlls and expanding our existing landÑlls from time to time in markets\nin which we have signiÑcant collection operations or in markets that we determine lack suÇcient\ndisposal capacity. During the three months ended December 31, 2004, approximately 54% of the total\nvolume of waste that we collected was disposed of at landÑlls we own or operate. In a number of our\nlarger markets, we and our competitors are required to take waste to government-controlled disposal\nfacilities. This provides us with an opportunity to eÅectively compete in these markets without\ninvesting in landÑll capacity.

This is done by utilizing simple and measurable metrics on which\nincentive pay is based. At the Ñeld level, these metrics are based upon free cash Öow, earnings and return on\ninvested capital for each manager's geographic area of responsibility. Great eÅort is taken to ensure that these\nindividual goals agree to the overall goals of the company. Incentive compensation at the corporate level is\nbased on the obtainment of our company's overall goals. In addition, certain Ñeld and corporate employees\nalso participate in a long-term incentive program. We believe this program aligns our company's short- and\nlong-term goals and helps ensure that the long-term success of our company is not sacriÑced for the\nobtainment of short-term goals.\n####### **Corporate History**\nWe were incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1996 by our former parent company, AutoNation,\nInc. In 1998, AutoNation separated its non-hazardous solid waste services division from its other businesses\nand we completed an initial public oÅering of shares of our common stock.

The ability of the integrated companies to both\ncollect and dispose of solid waste, coupled with access to signiÑcant capital resources necessary for\nacquisitions, has created an environment in which large publicly-owned, integrated companies can\noperate more cost eÅectively and competitively than non-integrated operators.\n*Municipal Privatization.* The trend toward consolidation in the solid waste services industry is\nfurther supported by the increasing tendency of a number of municipalities to privatize their waste\ndisposal operations. Privatization of municipal waste operations is often an attractive alternative to\nfunding the changes required by Subtitle D.\nThese developments, as well as the fact that there are a limited number of viable exit strategies for many\nof the owners and principals of numerous privately-held companies in the industry, have contributed to the\noverall consolidation trend in the solid waste industry.\n####### **Financial Strategy**\nA key component of our Ñnancial strategy is our ability to generate free cash Öow. Our deÑnition of free\ncash Öow, which is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is\ncash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment plus proceeds from the sale of\nproperty and equipment as presented in our consolidated statement of cash Öows. We believe that free cash\nÖow provides useful information regarding the recurring cash provided by our operating activities after\nexpenditures for property and equipment. It also demonstrates our ability to execute our Ñnancial strategy.\nConsequently, we have developed incentive programs and we conduct monthly Ñeld operating reviews that\nhelp focus our entire company on the importance of increasing free cash Öow.\nFree cash Öow does not represent our cash Öow available for discretionary expenditures because it\nexcludes certain expenditures that are required or that we have committed to such as debt service\nrequirements and dividend payments. Our deÑnition of free cash Öow may not be comparable to similarly\ntitled measures presented by other companies.\nWe manage our free cash Öow primarily by ensuring that capital expenditures and operating asset levels\nare appropriate in light of our existing business and growth opportunities and by closely managing our working\ncapital, which consists primarily of accounts receivable and accounts payable.\nWe have used and will continue to use our cash Öow to maximize stockholder value as well as our return\non investment. This includes the following:\n‚ * **Customer Service.** * We will continue to reinvest in our existing Öeet of vehicles, equipment, landÑlls", + "page_start": 9, + "page_end": 9, + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ANNUAL REPORT 2004\n\n## **110 SE 6th Street, 28th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301**\n\n### **REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.**\n\n####### **Operations**\n\nsmaller businesses that also operate in that market and surrounding markets, which are typically\nreferred to as \"\"tuck-in'' acquisitions. We seek to consolidate the operations of such tuck-in businesses\ninto our existing operations in that market. We also seek to acquire landÑlls, transfer stations and\ncollection companies that operate in markets that we are already servicing in order to fully integrate our\noperations from collection to disposal. In addition, we have in the past and may continue in the future\nto exchange businesses with other solid waste companies if by doing so there is a net beneÑt to our\nbusiness platform. These activities allow us to increase our revenue and market share, lower our cost of\noperations as a percentage of revenue, and consolidate duplicative facilities and functions to maximize\ncost eÇciencies and economies of scale.\n*Acquire Well-Managed Companies.* We also seek to acquire businesses that have experienced\nmanagement teams that are willing to join the management of our company. We generally seek to\nmaintain continuity in management of larger acquired companies in order to capitalize on their local\n6\nmarket knowledge, community relations and name recognition, and to instill their entrepreneurial drive\nat all levels of our operations. By furnishing the local management of such acquired companies with our\nÑnancial and marketing resources and technical expertise, we believe that the acquired companies are\nbetter able to secure additional municipal franchises and other contracts.\n*Privatize Municipal Operations and Acquire Divested Operations.* We also seek to acquire solid\nwaste collection operations, transfer stations and landÑlls that municipalities and other governmental\nauthorities are privatizing. Many municipalities are seeking to outsource or sell these types of solid\nwaste operations, as they lack the capital, technical expertise and/or operational resources necessary to\ncomply with increasingly stringent regulatory standards and/or to compete eÅectively with private-\nsector companies. In addition, we have acquired, and will continue to seek to acquire, operations and\nfacilities that may be divested by other publicly-owned waste companies.\n####### **Operations**\nOur operations primarily consist of the collection, transfer and disposal of non-hazardous solid waste.\n*Collection Services.* We provide solid waste collection services to commercial, industrial, municipal and\nresidential customers in 22 states through 140 collection companies.

Some of our competitors have signiÑcantly\nlarger operations and may have signiÑcantly greater Ñnancial resources than we do. In addition, the solid waste\nindustry is constantly changing as a result of consolidation which may create additional competitive pressures\nin our business environment.\nWe also compete with municipalities that maintain their own waste collection or disposal operations.\nThese municipalities may have a Ñnancial advantage over us as a result of the availability of tax revenue and\ntax-exempt Ñnancing.\nWe compete for collection accounts primarily on the basis of price and the quality of services. From time\nto time our competitors may reduce the price of their services in an eÅort to expand their market share or to\nwin a competitively bid municipal contract.\nIn each market in which we own or operate a landÑll, we compete for solid waste volume on the basis of\ndisposal or \"\"tipping'' fees, geographical location and quality of operations. Our ability to obtain solid waste\nvolume for our landÑlls may be limited by the fact that some major collection companies also own or operate\nlandÑlls to which they send their waste.

During the\nfourth quarter of 2003, we implemented a broad-based pricing initiative across all lines of our business.\n*Long-Term Contracts.* We seek to obtain long-term contracts for collecting solid waste in high-\ngrowth markets. These include exclusive franchise agreements with municipalities as well as commer-\ncial and industrial contracts. By obtaining such long-term agreements, we have the opportunity to grow\nour contracted revenue base at the same rate as the underlying population growth in these markets. For\nexample, we have secured exclusive, long-term franchise agreements in high-growth markets such as\nLos Angeles, Orange and Contra Costa Counties in California, Las Vegas, Nevada, Arlington, Texas,\nand many areas of Florida. We believe that this positions our company to experience internal growth\nrates that are generally higher than our industry's overall growth rate. In addition, we believe that by\nsecuring a base of long-term recurring revenue in growth markets, we are better able to protect our\nmarket position from competition and our business may be less susceptible to downturns in economic\nconditions.\n*Sales and Marketing Activities.* We seek to manage our sales and marketing activities to enable our\ncompany to capitalize on our leading positions in many of the markets in which we operate. We\ncurrently have approximately 500 sales and marketing employees in the Ñeld, who are compensated\nusing a commission structure that is focused on generating high levels of quality revenue. For the most\npart, these employees directly solicit business from existing and prospective commercial, industrial,\nmunicipal and residential customers. We emphasize our rate and cost structures when we train new\nand existing sales personnel. In addition, we utilize a contact management system that assists our sales\npeople in tracking leads. It also tracks renewal periods for potential commercial, industrial and\nfranchise contracts.\n*Development Activities.* We seek to identify opportunities to further our position as an integrated\nservice provider in markets where we provide services for a portion of the waste stream. Where\nappropriate, we seek to obtain permits to build transfer stations and/or landÑlls that would provide\n5\nvertically integrated waste services or expand the service area for our existing disposal sites.\nDevelopment projects, while generally less capital intensive, typically require extensive permitting", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 13, + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "ASX_STO_2004.pdf", + "query": "How mush did the Moomba incident cost to Santos in 2004 ?", + "target_page": 12, + "target_passage": " the Moomba incident resulted in $17 million of one-off costs in 2004.", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": true, + "index": 0 + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "## THE WORLD OF SANTOS\n\nboe.

Additionally, there were cases when\nprediction models were improved for specific services\n(e.g. surgery, use of opioids) when considering change\nin pain, disability or pain-related psychological dis-\ntress. A notable finding is that the OSPRO-YF had\nthe greatest utility when used to measure change in\npain-related psychological distress.

The\npurpose of this study was to determine predictors of pain-related healthcare utilization subsequent to an index episode\nof physical therapy for musculoskeletal pain.\nMethods: This study assessed data from the Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome (OSPRO)\nlongitudinal cohort study that recruited individuals with a primary complaint of neck, low back, knee or shoulder\npain in physical therapy ( n = 440). Demographics, health-related information, review of systems, comorbidity and\npain-related psychological distress measures were collected at baseline evaluation. Baseline to 4-week changes in\npain intensity, disability, and pain-related psychological distress were measured as treatment response variables.\nAt 6-months and 1-year after baseline evaluation, individuals reported use of opioids, injection, surgery, diagnostic tests\nor imaging, and emergency room visits for their pain condition over the follow-up period. Separate prediction models\nwere developed for any subsequent care and service-specific utilization.\nResults: Subsequent pain-related healthcare utilization was reported by 43% ( n = 106) of the study sample that completed\nthe 12-month follow-up ( n = 246). Baseline disability and 4-week change in pain intensity were important global predictors\nof subsequent healthcare utilization. Age, insurance status, comorbidity burden, baseline pain, and 4-week changes in pain\nintensity, disability and pain-related psychological distress predicted specific service utilization.\nConclusion: In those completing follow up measures, risk of additional pain-related healthcare utilization after physical\ntherapy was best predicted by baseline characteristics and 4-week treatment response variables for pain intensity, disability\nand pain-related psychological distress. These findings suggest treatment monitoring of specific response variables could\nenhance identification of those at risk for future healthcare utilization in addition to baseline assessment. Further study is\nrequired to determine how specific characteristics of the clinical encounter influence future utilization.\nKeywords: Screening, Psychological distress, Multimorbidity, Value, Treatment monitoring", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "pubmed5.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prediction of healthcare utilization following an episode of physical t[...]\n\n## Methods\n\n### Healthcare utilization outcomes\n\nSelf-reported health care utilization was assessed at 6- and\n12-months following initial evaluation by online assessment.\nQuestions were derived from previous population-based\nstudies involving musculoskeletal pain that have used survey\nmethods for follow-up assessment [ 22 , 23 ].

The authors of the EU-OSHA study ‘Work-related\nmusculoskeletal disorders: why are they still so prevalent?’ consider several reasons for this: the\nergonomic burden shifted to other tasks, for example, handling of patients instead of handling of heavy\nloads, more inactivity with other musculoskeletal consequences, more time pressure, an ageing\nworkforce, and inadequate work organisation and contractual arrangements. 239\nThe tremendous shift of workforce to administrative and often digitalised work contributes to an increase\nof the number of workers suffering from the consequences of **physical inactivity** due to **permanent**\n**sedentary work** , mostly with digital equipment. The figure below shows the spread of these diseases\nin different occupations. 240\n\n**Figure 27: Prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases - EWCS 2015**\n\nAbsence from work due to MSDs accounts for a high proportion of working days lost in EU Member\nStates. In 2015, more than half (53%) of workers with MSDs (including those with other health problems)\nreported being absent from work during the past year, which is considerably higher than the proportion\nof workers without health problems (32%). Workers with MSDs are not only more likely to be absent\nfrom work, but (given absence) on average are also absent for a longer period. For example, 26% of\nworkers with chronic MSDs and other health problems report being absent for more than eight days\nduring the past year, which is considerably higher than the 7% for workers with no health problems. 241\nOverall estimates of the burden of MSDs for the EU27 seem to be difficult, due to different recognition\nand treatment schemes. 242 The estimates of WHO/ILO and ICOH result in 850,000 and 950,000 DALYs\nfor the EU27, based on a fraction of 26.38% attributable to work; in total, MSDs are the cause of 15-20%\nof all DALYs.\n\n**OSH Barometer - Accidents, diseases and wellbeing - Diseases:**\n[https://visualisation.osha.europa.eu/osh-barometer/osh-outcomes/work-related-diseases/who-](https://visualisation.osha.europa.eu/osh-barometer/osh-outcomes/work-related-diseases/who-ilo/prevalence-of-diseases/all-diseases)\n[ilo/prevalence-of-diseases/all-diseases ](https://visualisation.osha.europa.eu/osh-barometer/osh-outcomes/work-related-diseases/who-ilo/prevalence-of-diseases/all-diseases)\n**Eurostat - Data and databases on health:**\n[https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/health/data/database ](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/health/data/database)\n**WHO - Occupational Burden of Disease Application:**\n[https://who-ilo-joint-estimates.shinyapps.io/OccupationalBurdenOfDisease/ ](https://who-ilo-joint-estimates.shinyapps.io/OccupationalBurdenOfDisease/)", + "page_start": 86, + "page_end": 87, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **4 Trends in outcomes - safety, health and wellbeing**\n\n### **4.2 Trends in health outcomes**\n\nlong working hours over postures and movements to harassment and violence and to noise and\nchemical and biological substances, etc.). **In theory, a single risk** — if below the threshold limit values\nand in line with legislation and standards — **will not cause harm — given that it is the only exposure** .\nThe impact of this single exposure is not strong enough to generate a disease on the level of severity\nof a recognised occupational disease.

Most existing outcomes prediction\nmodels focus on pain and disability endpoints [ 12 - 14 ].\nThey also concentrate on condition-specific and psycho-\nlogical predictors, with less attention to factors that could\ninfluence healthcare utilization more directly [ 15 - 17 ].\nThese factors include insurance, comorbidities, symp-\ntoms unrelated to the pain condition, and treatment\nresponse. As a result, predictors of pain-related\nhealthcare utilization beyond physical therapy are un-\nknown. A better understanding of these predictors\nwill have significant implications for future healthcare\npathway development. For instance, an influence of\nmodifiable factors like pain-related psychological dis-\ntress might imply the need to build clinical pathways\nthat address those factors directly through physical\ntherapist provided intervention. Additionally, under-\nstanding the relative predictive capabilities of baseline\nversus change estimates for modifiable factors would\nclarify whether prediction is improved by routinely\nassessing outcomes during the course of treatment\n(i.e. treatment monitoring) [ 18 ].\nThis study was undertaken in a nationwide, US cohort\nof patients receiving outpatient physical therapy for a\nprimary complaint of knee, shoulder, back or neck pain.\nThe primary aim of the analysis was to predict incidence\nof additional pain-related healthcare utilization in the\nyear following the episode of physical therapy for mus-\nculoskeletal pain. We considered factors not commonly\nassessed in outcomes prediction for musculoskeletal\npain, like insurance, comorbidities, and treatment re-\nsponse, as well as those more often associated with\npain-related outcomes (e.g. psychological distress). This\nproject will lead to the development of potentially novel\noutcome prediction models for this population in a com-\nmon, non-pharmacological US healthcare setting.

A **work accident** has as immediate\nconsequences either a personal injury, a disease, or death of one or more workers. Eurostat\ndistinguishes between non-fatal and fatal work accidents, and for the majority of sectors it provides also\nthe duration of the absence due to the accident — an indicator for the severity of the injury. Non-fatal\naccidents at work can cause medium- or long-term health consequences, and in the worst case a\npermanent disability.\nILO Definition of accident: ‘An occupational accident is an unexpected and unplanned occurrence,\nincluding acts of violence, arising out of or in connection with work, which results in one or more workers\nincurring a personal injury, disease or death.’ 51\n**Physical health risks** can be caused by a **variety of circumstances and exposures** or by **inadequate**\n**ergonomics** . Natural **circumstances** at work can pose such health risks, that is, temperature, storms\nand floods, unsafe terrain, biological agents and so on; or the risks are due to manmade circumstances,\nthat is, work in buildings, on roofs and towers, on traffic routes, under artificial ventilation. **Exposure** is\na general term to describe the interaction between environment / emissions / contaminants and the\nhuman organism. In a workplace context, ‘exposure’ mainly covers emissions from machinery or from\ntools and materials, for example, noise, vibration, dust, electromagnetic fields and chemical substances.\nRisks from **inadequate ergonomics** harm in particular the musculoskeletal system. Ergonomic risks of\nmanual work are typically caused by repetitive hand and arm movements, tiring positions, for example,\npermanent kneeling or overhead work, lifting and moving of heavy loads, or of patients and so on. A\ncertain ergonomic risk is **physical inactivity** , in practice sitting most of the working time. Not only\nadministrative tasks but also many occupations in service or industry require permanent sitting, for\nexample, drivers, cashiers, part assembly operators and so on (often called ‘sedentary occupations’).", + "page_start": 37, + "page_end": 37, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **3 Status of working conditions**\n\n### **3.2 Physical health risks at work**\n\n**Figure 17: Physical health risks compared (%) - EWCS 2015**\n\nIn a similar way, **the levels of ergonomic risks** are related with the sectoral structure of a country,\ndetermining the type of occupations and work tasks. EU-OSHA provided a detailed analysis of the\nprevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and the related risk factors in several studies on\n[musculoskeletal diseases, for example, ‘Work-related musculoskeletal disorders: why are they still so ](https://osha.europa.eu/en/publications/work-related-musculoskeletal-disorders-why-are-they-still-so-prevalent-evidence-literature-review)\n[prevalent?’](https://osha.europa.eu/en/publications/work-related-musculoskeletal-disorders-why-are-they-still-so-prevalent-evidence-literature-review) 58\nAn example of the **interrelation between sectors and risks is the connection** between the sector\naggregate ‘Trade, transport, food/accommodation and recreation activities’ and three major indicators\nof ergonomic burden, that is, ‘Painful, tiring positions’, ‘Repetitive hand or arm movements’, and\n‘Carrying or moving heavy loads’.\nSeven countries have a share of employees in this sector of more than 30% (Cyprus, Greece, Spain,\nMalta, Bulgaria, Croatia and Latvia), and many of them are present in two or three lists of countries with\nthe highest number of responses regarding the indicators.\n\n© Tyler Olson/Adobe Stock\n**Table 6: Physical health risks, Ergonomics - EWCS 2015**\n\nCountry colours: Cyprus aquamarine, Greece orange, Spain blue.\n\nThe exposure to **painful and tiring positions** and **hand/arm movements** are highest in southern and\neastern EU Member States. They also seem to be closely correlated to the sector aggregate ‘Trade,\ntransport, food/accommodation and recreation activities’. **Moving and carrying heavy loads** is also\nconnected to the sectors agriculture, manufacturing and construction — Romania, Latvia, Slovakia and\nSpain are part of the top seven. Looking at the countries for the share of workers who are lifting or\nmoving people, Romania, Sweden and Ireland are the countries with the highest shares (15%, 14% and\n13%).\nRegarding **occupations, manual workers** — craft workers, plant and machine operators, and\nagricultural workers — **have the highest score** of posture-related risks and ambient ergonomic risks.\n\n**Table 7: Physical health risks, Ergonomics - EWCS 2015 59**\n\nLooking at the data, it is quite obvious that the **northern and the central European countries are**\n**underrepresented** in the group of countries with the highest share of physical and ergonomic risks.

The exact impact of this factor, that is, the fraction of disease generating or\nintensifying impact **attributable to work** , is the subject of numerous studies in occupational\nepidemiology. 210\nThe overall relation between work and illnesses is moving towards **a less unambiguous picture**\ncompared to occupational diseases, where a strong relation between a single (over-)exposure and a\nspecific illness existed. These were mostly high exposure levels that could not be found outside\nworkplaces. Obviously, many such high exposures still exist and are important for prevention and\ncompensation. However, many exposures at work approximate to other non-work exposures, like\npermanent sedentary work. This makes it more difficult to separate unambiguously the impact of work.\nScience, in particular occupational epidemiology, and institutions like the ILO and WHO studies have\nengaged to identify the approximate impact of work for diseases, the **attributable fraction of work** .\nFor example, the **WHO** summarised their estimates in the year 2017:\n*‘Certain occupational risks, such as injuries, noise, carcinogenic agents, airborne particles and*\n*ergonomic risks account for a substantial part of the burden of chronic diseases: 37% of all cases of*\n*back pain, 16% of hearing loss, 13% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 11% of asthma, 8% of*\n*injuries, 9% of lung cancer, 2% of leukaemia and 8% of depression.’* 211\nOne major difficulty surely is the **reliable description of exposures at work** . Workers might have had\n**several occupations during their working life, or changed work tasks in the same occupation** due\nto organisational and technological developments, and they might also have changed the specialisation\nin this occupation; also the **level of prevention measures differs** between sectors and countries.

The most robust finding from these analyses\nwas that baseline disability and change in pain inten-\nsity over the first 4 weeks following physical therapy\nevaluation were consistent predictors of subsequent\npain-related healthcare utilization in those participants\nthat completed all follow up. Aside from these robust\npredictors, other individual predictors of utilization\nwere highly outcome-specific. High model specificity\nfor utilization outcomes observed in this study is con-\nsistent with a recent systematic review that found\nsimilar levels of model specificity for more traditional\noutcomes like pain intensity, disability and work\nabsenteeism [ 14 ]. Across models, health-related vari-\nables were generally stronger predictors than sociode-\nmographic factors, which is also supported by prior\nresearch [ 15 , 16 ]. Additionally, there were cases when\nprediction models were improved for specific services\n(e.g. surgery, use of opioids) when considering change\nin pain, disability or pain-related psychological dis-\ntress. A notable finding is that the OSPRO-YF had\nthe greatest utility when used to measure change in\npain-related psychological distress. Current risk pre-\ndiction paradigms in musculoskeletal pain consider\nonly baseline pain-related psychological distress.

Of the individuals that com-\npleted follow up and had any subsequent healthcare\nutilization, approximately 42% reported opioid use and\n70% reported use of diagnostic tests and imaging. An\nimportant health-related predictor of these services was\nlevel of comorbidity burden. For those with high comor-\nbidity burden and inadequate treatment response to\nphysical therapy, use of additional diagnostic tests and\nimaging or low-dose opioids may be appropriate in some\ncases. But given the growing public health concern over\nopioid use and the desire to avoid unnecessary treat-\nment driven by imaging, our results suggest the import-\nance of considering disease burden when developing\ntreatment pathways and healthcare policy to mitigate\nrisk for avoidable use of these services. Interestingly,\nneither versions of the OSPRO-ROS predicted\nutilization outcomes even though it has been linked to\nmental health, comorbidity, and persistent pain state in\nother analyses [ 20 , 21 ]. Systemic symptom burden is a\nmeasure of patient complexity that is related to but dis-\ntinct from comorbidity burden [ 36 , 47 ]. In these ana-\nlyses, the chronic condition measure (i.e. the CCI) was\na better predictor of utilization than symptom burden\n(i.e. OSPRO-ROS). The reasons for this finding are un-\nclear but may be related to providers and patients being\nmore likely to pursue follow-up medical care for mus-\nculoskeletal pain when known co-existing conditions\nare present as opposed to reporting of symptoms alone.\nThe distinction between symptom and disease burden\nin defining musculoskeletal patient complexity, and its\ninfluence on clinical decision-making and outcomes,\nshould be the subject of future research particularly re-\nlated to aging populations [ 48 ].\nUtilization outcomes benchmarks have not been estab-\nlished to determine how the percentage of subsequent\nhealthcare use in this study compares to outcomes using\nother health services. Prior studies suggest physical ther-\napy is associated with reduced incidence of additional\nhealthcare use compared to not using physical therapy\nin patients with acute low back pain [ 10 , 49 ]. Some\nadditional healthcare use is expected following physical\ntherapy, especially among individuals that are on\nlong-term pain management pathways due to chronic or\npersistent symptoms.

This finding is particularly notable given recent\nefforts to define physical therapy as an effective first line,\nnon-pharmacological treatment option against more\ninvasive or higher risk services, such as surgery or opioid\nuse, respectively. Predictive variables identified in this\nanalysis can be used to develop risk models that better\ninform pathway selection for those seeking physical ther-\napy for musculoskeletal pain. The precise application of\nthese risk models, and how they inform policy and prac-\ntice should be the target of future study. However, phys-\nical therapy re-design might incorporate enhanced\ntreatment monitoring to assess ongoing risk for down-\nstream utilization, as well as physical therapist-led inter-\nventions to more thoroughly address important\nmodifiable factors such as pain intensity, disability and\npain-related psychological distress [ 38 ]. Improved path-\nway selection might entail the consideration of referral\nto or co-treatment with other providers to more ad-\nequately address non-modifiable characteristics. Collect-\nively, these approaches could improve the value of\nphysical therapy by minimizing risk for high downstream\nhealthcare utilization and potentially unwarranted escal-\nation of care.\nThe primary strength of the study is longitudinal\nfollow-up at multiple time points following an episode\nof physical therapy for a variety of musculoskeletal pain\nconditions. Anatomical location of pain was not a sig-\nnificant predictor of healthcare use in all but one model,\nsuggesting results are widely applicable across a\nspectrum of musculoskeletal pain conditions. Another\nstrength of this cohort study is the assessment of various\nhealthcare utilization outcomes of interest for establish-\ning health policy. When considered alongside more trad-\nitional pain- or disability-related outcomes prediction\nmodels, these findings will improve the ability of health-\ncare systems and providers to make decisions in\nvalue-based purchasing environments. The consideration\nof multiple screening tools (i.e. yellow flags and review\nof systems) and treatment monitoring variables is also a\nstrength of this study as screening and systematic treat-\nment monitoring are not routine in clinical practice. A\nfinal strength is inclusion of multiple sociodemographic,\nhealth-related and psychosocial factors as potential pre-\ndictors. Healthcare outcomes and utilization exhibit\nemergent properties that require the consideration of\nmultiple, competing factors to fully explain [ 50 ].", + "page_start": 10, + "page_end": 10, + "source_file": "pubmed5.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "2023-Creative-Commons-Annual-Report-2-1.pdf", + "query": "What is Creative Commons ?", + "target_page": 2, + "target_passage": "Creative Commons (CC) is the global nonprofit organization behind the CC Licenses and public domain tools, which power open sharing on popular platforms like Wikipedia, Flickr, YouTube, Medium, Vimeo, and Khan Academy.", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": true, + "index": 6 + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "# Guide to using public domain tools What Is Creative Commons?

Conversely, CC0\nenables authors and copyright owners who want to dedicate\ntheir works to the worldwide public domain to do so, and PDM\nfacilitates the labeling and discovery of works that are already\nfree of known copyright restrictions.\nWhere public domain tools fit in the copyright spectrum\nSome rights\nreserved\nAll rights\nreserved\nPDM\nNo known\ncopyright\nCC0\nPublic\ndomain", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "Publicdomain.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Guide to using public domain tools What Is Creative Commons?

These amendments include new rules on the\ncontent of such contracts, the determination of the early cancellation\nfees that can be charged to customers, the use of security deposits and\nthe cancellation and renewal rights of the consumers. The amendments\nalso established new provisions on the sale of prepaid cards and the\ndisclosure of related costs.\nAmendments to the Manitoba Consumer Protection Act took effect in\nSeptember 2012 and parallel the changes to the Quebec Consumer\nProtection Act. Similar legislation also came into effect in September\n2012 in Newfoundland and Labrador and has been tabled in Nova\nScotia. A private member’s bill proposing similar legislation has been\nintroduced in New Brunswick.\nIn April 2012, the Ontario government announced that it would be\nintroducing legislation addressing wireless bills and contracts. The\nlegislation seeks to ensure that contracts are written in plain language\nand spell out which services come with the basic fee and which would\nresult in a higher bill. It requires providers to obtain consent in writing\nbefore they renew or amend a contract. The legislation also seeks a cap\non the cost of cancelling a fixed-term contract that would vary\ndepending on the circumstances of the contract. The proposed\nlegislation, which would affect new contracts, would take effect six\nmonths after being passed and would also cover existing agreements\nthat are amended, renewed or extended after that date. The legislation\nwas passed into law in October 2013.\nSee also “CRTC Wireless Code” section under Wireless Regulation.\n####### **Foreign Ownership and Control**\nNon-Canadians can own and control directly or indirectly:\n- up to 33.3% of the voting shares and the related votes of a holding\ncompany that has a subsidiary operating company licenced under the", + "page_start": 70, + "page_end": 70, + "source_file": "NYSE_RCI_2013.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# DRAFT FRAMEWORK CONTRACT FOR SERVICES —\n\n## **II.13.

Cross-cutting design questions** *\n\nThe workshops briefly touched on several cross-cutting design questions. While most\nrelevant for approaches that depend on limitations and exceptions, considerations of these\nquestions may be relevant across both tracks.\n*Would authors, publishers, and other relevant rightsholders* *and creators have any ability to exclude their works?*\nOne of the greatest sources of controversy in this area is the extent to which rightsholders of\ncopyrighted works, as well as the original creators of such works (e.g., book authors in this\ncontext), should be able to prevent use of their works for AI training.\nWhile a system that required affirmative “opt-in” consent would limit utility significantly (as\ndiscussed above in the context of directly licensing works), a system that allowed some\nforms of “opt-out” could still be quite useful to some types of AI development. In the context\nof use cases like development of LLMs, the performance impact may not be so significant.\nSince most in-copyright books are not actively managed, the majority of books would remain\nin the corpus by default. The performance of LLMs can still be improved across various\ndimensions without including, for example, the most famous writers or those who continue\nto commercially exploit their works and may choose to exercise an opt-out. Perhaps the\npotential for licensing relationships (and revenue) may induce some rightsholders to come\nforward and begin actively managing their works. In such a case, uses that do require a\nlicense may once again become more feasible once the rightsholder can be reached.\nWorkshop participants discussed different types of opt-outs that could be built. For example,\nopt-outs could be thought of not in blanket terms, but only as applied to certain uses, for\nexample to commercial uses of the corpus, but not research uses. This could build on or\nmirror the approach that the EU has taken in its text and data mining exceptions to\ncopyright. Opt-outs might be more granular, by focusing on allowing or forbidding particular 38", + "page_start": 17, + "page_end": 17, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Understanding Creative Commons license\n\n### Understanding Creative Commons license\n\n#### **THREE-LAYER DESIGN**\n\n\"Legal Code\" (base layer): contains terms and conditions to be used by lawyers and legally applicable in court. \"Human Readable\" (commons deeds): contain the summary of the legal code and key terms. \"Machine Readable\": contains HTML or codes for machines to recognize a work is available under a Creative Commons license.\nCreative Commons (CC) license has three layers:\n**FOUR ELEMENTS** BY (\"Attribution\"): users must credit the author of the work they are using.

In addition to apartments, 42% of Killam’s MHC sites are located in Ontario. Killam is focused on increasing its\ngeographic diversification by acquiring more properties in Ontario.\n**A Diversified Portfolio of Apartment Properties**\nKillam’s apartment portfolio includes a variety of property types, including high‐rise (24% of units), mid‐rise with elevators (33%) , walk‐ups (41%)\nand a small number of townhouses (2%). The portfolio includes rents ranging from affordable to high‐end Class A properties. The average rent\nfor Killam’s apartment units at the end of 2013 was $915.\nThe average age of Killam’s apartment portfolio is 28 years. With a focus on both developing and acquiring newer properties, 23% of Killam’s\napartments are considered new (built after 2001), on a unit count basis. Compared to the national average of 7%, as per CMHC’s 2010 Housing\nObserver, Killam’s portfolio is considerably newer and should result in lower capital and maintenance costs for the foreseeable future. 43% of\nKillam’s NOI is generated from apartment units that are considered new, with 20% of the Company’s NOI generated from units built in the last\nfive years.\n**MHCs Compliment Killam’s Apartment Portfolio**\nWith MHCs, Killam owns the land and infrastructure supporting each community and leases the sites to the tenants, who own their own homes\nand pay Killam a monthly rent. In addition to site rent, the tenant may have a mortgage payment to a financial institution for their home. The\naverage site rent in Killam’s MHC portfolio was $222 per month, which offers value and affordability to tenants. The homeowner is responsible\nfor property taxes based on the assessed value of their home and Killam is responsible for the property tax on the land.\nMHCs require less recurring capital investment and deliver a more predictable and stable cash flow than apartments. MHC home owners are\nresponsible for the repair, maintenance and operating costs of their homes, which removes significant variable costs that are typically borne\nby Killam for apartments. The operating profit margin in Killam’s MHC business averaged 62.4% over the last two years, compared to 58.9% for\napartments.\nThe most significant costs to operate MHCs are water, land property tax and general repairs and maintenance to the water and sewer", + "page_start": 32, + "page_end": 32, + "source_file": "TSX_KMP_2013.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Killam properties Inc 2013 annual report\n\n## **2013 Financial Overview**\n\n####### **Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates**\n\nThe average rent for a two‐bedroom unit in these newer buildings was $1,320 per month, compared to a market average two‐bedroom rent of\n$976.\nThe new properties added to Killam’s portfolio are condo quality, providing tenants with features and amenities traditionally associated with\nownership. The Company believes that demand for this type of rental accommodation will grow given an increasing number of homeowners\nreaching retirement age and looking for alternatives to home ownership. Killam is also attracted to the low capital spend requirements from new\nassets compared to older buildings, which often include significant capital investment to address deferred maintenance. Generally, the amount\nof annual capital to maintain a property increases as the building ages. In addition, with energy efficient features, the NOI margins are generally\nhigher in newer buildings.\nWith strong demand for the acquisition of apartments over the last three years, cap‐rates have declined and the pricing differential between\nolder and newer buildings has reduced. This enables Killam to increase the amount of newer apartments in its portfolio without paying a\nsignificant premium for quality assets.\n**Geographic Diversification**\nGeographic diversification in the apartment segment is a priority for Killam. With a 14.2% market share in its core markets in Atlantic Canada,\nKillam is the region’s largest residential landlord. The maximum market share Management foresees Killam reaching in Atlantic Canada is\nbetween 15%‐18%. With Atlantic Canada representing only 4.9% of the Canadian rental market, Killam’s growth opportunities increase\nsignificantly when considering assets outside Atlantic Canada.\nWith its strong operating platform, Killam can support a larger and more geographically diverse portfolio. The Company is actively building\na portfolio in targeted Ontario markets, including Ottawa, the Greater Toronto Area, and Southwestern Ontario. An increased investment in\nOntario, and potentially Western Canada, will increase the Company’s diversification and exposure in high growth centres in Canada. Based on\nthe Company’s portfolio at year‐end, 15% of Killam’s 2014 NOI will be generated in Ontario. Management has set a long‐term target of growing\nthe amount of NOI generated outside of Atlantic Canada to 50%.\nIn 2013, Killam sold a portfolio of ten MHCs in New Brunswick that allowed Killam to crystallize the increased value of this portfolio at attractive\ncap‐rates. This creates moderate short‐term dilution but it provides the Company with funds to continue its geographic diversification by\naccretively growing its apartment portfolio in Ontario.\n**Management’s Discussion and Analysis** *Dollar amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars (except as noted)*", + "page_start": 28, + "page_end": 29, + "source_file": "TSX_KMP_2013.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Killam properties Inc 2013 annual report\n\n## **2013 Financial Overview**\n\n####### **FFO per Share ($)**\n\ncovered by insurance.

Numerous\nother residential developers and apartment owners compete for potential tenants. Although it is Killam’s strategy to own multifamily residential\nproperties in premier locations in each market in which it operates, some of the apartments or MHCs of Killam’s competitors may be newer,\nbetter located or offer lower rents. An increase in alternative housing could have a material adverse effect on Killam’s ability to lease units and\nin the rents charged and could adversely affect Killam’s revenues and ability to meet its obligations. To mitigate against this risk Killam has a\ngeographically diverse asset base. Management is expanding this diversification by increasing Killam’s investment in apartment markets outside\nAtlantic Canada.\n**Credit Risk**\nCredit risk arises from the possibility that tenants may experience financial difficulty and be unable to fulfill their lease term commitments. The\nCompany mitigates the risk of credit loss through the diversification of its existing portfolio and limiting its exposure to any one tenant. Credit\nassessments are conducted with respect to all new leasing and the Company also obtains a security deposit to assist in potential recovery\nrequirements. In addition, the receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debt is\nnot significant. The Company’s bad debt expense experience has historically been less than 0.4% of revenues. None of Killam’s tenants account\nfor more than 1% of tenant receivables.\n**Development Risk**\nDevelopment risk is the risk that costs of developments will exceed original estimates, unforeseen delays occur and/or units will not be leased in\nthe timeframe and/or at rents anticipated.

The strength of the oil\nbusiness has resulted in both a growing population base in the city and a 21% increase in the average home price over the last three years as per\nCMHC’s Fall 2013 Housing Market Outlook.

The Company believes that demand for this type of rental accommodation will grow given an increasing number of homeowners\nreaching retirement age and looking for alternatives to home ownership. Killam is also attracted to the low capital spend requirements from new\nassets compared to older buildings, which often include significant capital investment to address deferred maintenance. Generally, the amount\nof annual capital to maintain a property increases as the building ages. In addition, with energy efficient features, the NOI margins are generally\nhigher in newer buildings.\nWith strong demand for the acquisition of apartments over the last three years, cap‐rates have declined and the pricing differential between\nolder and newer buildings has reduced. This enables Killam to increase the amount of newer apartments in its portfolio without paying a\nsignificant premium for quality assets.\n**Geographic Diversification**\nGeographic diversification in the apartment segment is a priority for Killam. With a 14.2% market share in its core markets in Atlantic Canada,\nKillam is the region’s largest residential landlord. The maximum market share Management foresees Killam reaching in Atlantic Canada is\nbetween 15%‐18%. With Atlantic Canada representing only 4.9% of the Canadian rental market, Killam’s growth opportunities increase\nsignificantly when considering assets outside Atlantic Canada.\nWith its strong operating platform, Killam can support a larger and more geographically diverse portfolio. The Company is actively building\na portfolio in targeted Ontario markets, including Ottawa, the Greater Toronto Area, and Southwestern Ontario. An increased investment in\nOntario, and potentially Western Canada, will increase the Company’s diversification and exposure in high growth centres in Canada. Based on\nthe Company’s portfolio at year‐end, 15% of Killam’s 2014 NOI will be generated in Ontario. Management has set a long‐term target of growing\nthe amount of NOI generated outside of Atlantic Canada to 50%.\nIn 2013, Killam sold a portfolio of ten MHCs in New Brunswick that allowed Killam to crystallize the increased value of this portfolio at attractive\ncap‐rates. This creates moderate short‐term dilution but it provides the Company with funds to continue its geographic diversification by\naccretively growing its apartment portfolio in Ontario.\n**Management’s Discussion and Analysis** *Dollar amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars (except as noted)*", + "page_start": 28, + "page_end": 29, + "source_file": "TSX_KMP_2013.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Killam properties Inc 2013 annual report\n\n## **2013 Financial Overview**\n\n####### **Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates**\n\nfurther expansion of marketing and leasing activities, including a focus on tenant retention. Killam expects to see continued positive results\nfrom its Ontario portfolio throughout the next year as the Company’s Ottawa properties acquired in 2012 and early 2013 have stabilized. Killam\nforecasts to operate these properties at an average vacancy rate of approximately 2%, consistent with market norms in this region. Furthermore,\nthe Company expects to continue to outperform CMHC in its core markets located in Atlantic Canada. Trending in the first quarter of 2014 has\nshown steady occupancy gains in all New Brunswick markets as well as PEI, more than offsetting a slight decrease in occupancy in Halifax. Rental\nrevenue growth is expected in the range of 1% ‐ 2% across the portfolio in 2014, given Ontario’s rental increases are capped at 0.8% for 2014 and\nmarket pressures from new supply in Killam’s core markets in Atlantic Canada.\n**Natural Gas Volatility**\nThe Company expects to see continued volatility in natural gas pricing in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick until additional pipeline capacity is built\nto alleviate supply constraints in Atlantic Canada and the Northeastern US, bringing pricing more in‐line with other areas of North America. In\nthe short‐term, Management will continue to manage properties to maximize energy efficiencies. In addition, where dual‐fired heating systems\nexist, the Company will switch to oil when the economics support the change and will explore investing in increasing the base of dual‐fired\nsystems.\n**Acquisition Activity With a Focus in Ontario and Two New Developments Underway**\nThe Company expects to purchase a minimum of $75 million in assets in 2014.

We are progressing nicely with our priorities to increase the quality of our portfolio and expand\ngeographically. In addition, we are focused on three key areas of growth for the Company: increase the\nvalue of our existing portfolio, acquire accretively and develop profitably.\nDuring the past year we expanded communication of our corporate strategy to reach the broader Killam\ncommunity with the introduction of Killam’s Core Values. These values have been inherent in the Company\nsince our first acquisition in 2002, but had not been broadly promoted until this past year. Our Core Values\n(Curb Appeal, Build Community, Strong Customer Relationships, Do the Right Thing and Creative Solutions)\nare represented in the colourful squares you will see throughout this year’s\nreport. Killam employees across the Company demonstrate these values in their\ndaily work, distinguishing Killam as a high-quality landlord. The introduction of a\nquarterly awards program, which recognizes employees who exemplify Killam’s\nCore Values, enables us to celebrate these values. I have been impressed by both the number and quality\nof nominations. We truly have a remarkable group of employees who go above and beyond in providing\nexceptional service to our tenants.\n####### **A Look Back at 2013**\nI would summarize 2013 as a mixed year for Killam. We were successful in achieving many of the objectives\nand targets we had set for ourselves, as summarized in the adjacent chart, but faced challenges that\nimpacted our financial performance. We added $191 million in new assets to our portfolio through\nacquisitions and the completion of four new developments. We also enhanced our leasing and marketing\nprograms, which allowed us to realize gains in occupancy in the second half of the year and improve our\nposition for 2014. We further benefited from both interest and administrative cost savings in the year.

Numerous\nother residential developers and apartment owners compete for potential tenants. Although it is Killam’s strategy to own multifamily residential\nproperties in premier locations in each market in which it operates, some of the apartments or MHCs of Killam’s competitors may be newer,\nbetter located or offer lower rents. An increase in alternative housing could have a material adverse effect on Killam’s ability to lease units and\nin the rents charged and could adversely affect Killam’s revenues and ability to meet its obligations. To mitigate against this risk Killam has a\ngeographically diverse asset base. Management is expanding this diversification by increasing Killam’s investment in apartment markets outside\nAtlantic Canada.\n**Credit Risk**\nCredit risk arises from the possibility that tenants may experience financial difficulty and be unable to fulfill their lease term commitments. The\nCompany mitigates the risk of credit loss through the diversification of its existing portfolio and limiting its exposure to any one tenant. Credit\nassessments are conducted with respect to all new leasing and the Company also obtains a security deposit to assist in potential recovery\nrequirements. In addition, the receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debt is\nnot significant. The Company’s bad debt expense experience has historically been less than 0.4% of revenues. None of Killam’s tenants account\nfor more than 1% of tenant receivables.\n**Development Risk**\nDevelopment risk is the risk that costs of developments will exceed original estimates, unforeseen delays occur and/or units will not be leased in\nthe timeframe and/or at rents anticipated. Killam minimizes its exposure to development risk my limiting the amount of development underway\nat any one time. To reduce the Company’s exposure to price increases, Killam enters into fixed‐rate contracts when possible. To reduce the\nlease���up risk, Killam does extensive market research in advance of each development to support expected rental rates, and pre‐markets its\nproperties early on in the process, to increase demand for the new developments.\n**Management’s Discussion and Analysis** *Dollar amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars (except as noted)*\n**Environmental Risk**\nAs an owner of real estate, Killam is subject to federal, provincial and municipal environmental regulations.

The best known\nTransformer-based model is BERT ( Devlin et al. ,\n2019 ); it obtained state-of-the-art results in numer-\nous benchmarks and is still a must-have baseline.\nWhile it is clear that BERT works remarkably\nwell, it is less clear *why* , which limits further\nhypothesis-driven improvement of the architecture.\nUnlike CNNs, the Transformers have little cogni-\ntive motivation, and the size of these models limits\nour ability to experiment with pre-training and per-\nform ablation studies. This explains a large number\nof studies over the past year that attempted to un-\nderstand the reasons behind BERT’s performance.\nIn this paper, we provide an overview of what\nhas been learned to date, highlighting the questions\nwhich are still unresolved. We first consider the\nlinguistic aspects of it, i.e., the current evidence\nregarding the types of linguistic and world knowl-\nedge learned by BERT, as well as where and how\nthis knowledge may be stored in the model. We\nthen turn to the technical aspects of the model and\nprovide an overview of the current proposals to\nimprove BERT’s architecture, pre-training and fine-\ntuning. We conclude by discussing the issue of\noverparameterization, the approaches to compress-\ning BERT, and the nascent area of pruning as a\nmodel analysis technique.", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "arxiv2_taclccby4_license.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Primer in BERTology: What We Know About How BERT Works Anna Rogers Olga Kovaleva Anna Rumshisky Ab[...]\n\n## **9 Acknowledgements**\n\n### **References**\n\n[Than Generators](https://openreview.net/forum?id=r1xMH1BtvB) .

In structured pruning,\narchitecture blocks are dropped, as in LayerDrop\n( Fan et al. , 2019 ). In unstructured, the weights in\nthe entire model are pruned irrespective of their lo-\ncation, as in magnitude pruning ( Chen et al. , 2020 )\nor movement pruning ( Sanh et al. , 2020 ).\nPrasanna et al. ( 2020 ) and Chen et al. ( 2020 )\nexplore BERT from the perspective of the lottery\nticket hypothesis ( Frankle and Carbin , 2019 ), look-\ning specifically at the \"winning\" subnetworks in\npre-trained BERT. They independently find that\nsuch subnetworks do exist, and that transferability\nbetween subnetworks for different tasks varies.\nIf the ultimate goal of training BERT is compres-\nsion, Li et al. ( 2020 ) recommend training larger\nmodels and compressing them heavily rather than\ncompressing smaller models lightly.\nOther techniques include decomposing BERT’s\nembedding matrix into smaller matrices ( Lan et al. ,\n2020a ), progressive module replacing ( Xu et al. ,\n2020 ) and dynamic elimination of intermediate en-\ncoder outputs ( Goyal et al. , 2020 ).

The former is supposed to provide\ntask-independent knowledge, and the latter would\npresumably teach the model to rely more on the\nrepresentations useful for the task at hand.\nKovaleva et al. ( 2019 ) did not find that to be the case for BERT fine-tuned on GLUE tasks 5 : dur-\ning fine-tuning, the most changes for 3 epochs oc-\ncurred in the last two layers of the models, but those\nchanges caused self-attention to focus on [SEP]\nrather than on linguistically interpretable patterns.\nIt is understandable why fine-tuning would increase\nthe attention to [CLS] , but not [SEP] . If Clark\net al. ( 2019 ) are correct that [SEP] serves as \"no-\nop\" indicator, fine-tuning basically tells BERT what\nto ignore.\nSeveral studies explored the possibilities of im-\nproving the fine-tuning of BERT:\n- **Taking more layers into account** : learning\na complementary representation of the infor-\nmation in deep and output layers ( Yang and\nZhao , 2019 ), using a weighted combination\nof all layers instead of the final one ( Su and\nCheng , 2019 ; Kondratyuk and Straka , 2019 ),\nand layer dropout ( Kondratyuk and Straka ,\n2019 ).\n- **Two-stage fine-tuning** introduces an inter-\nmediate supervised training stage between\npre-training and fine-tuning ( Phang et al. ,\n2019 ; Garg et al. , 2020 ; Arase and Tsujii ,\n2019 ; Pruksachatkun et al. , 2020 ; Glavaš and\nVuli ́c , 2020 ). Ben-David et al. ( 2020 ) propose\na pivot-based variant of MLM to fine-tune\nBERT for domain adaptation.\n- **Adversarial token perturbations** improve\nrobustness of the model ( Zhu et al. , 2019 ).\n- **Adversarial regularization** in combination\nwith *Bregman Proximal Point Optimization*", + "page_start": 8, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "arxiv2_taclccby4_license.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Primer in BERTology: What We Know About How BERT Works Anna Rogers Olga Kovaleva Anna Rumshisky Ab[...]\n\n## **6 How big should BERT be?**\n\n### **6.2 Compression techniques**\n\n#### **can be efficiently compressed with minimal ac-**\n\n**curacy loss** , which would be highly desirable for\nreal-world applications. Such efforts to date are\nsummarized in Table 1 . The main approaches are\nknowledge distillation, quantization, and pruning.\nThe studies in the **knowledge distillation**\n**framework** ( Hinton et al. , 2014 ) use a smaller\nstudent-network trained to mimic the behavior of\na larger teacher-network. For BERT, this has been\nachieved through experiments with loss functions\n( Sanh et al. , 2019b ; Jiao et al. , 2019 ), mimicking\nthe activation patterns of individual portions of the\nteacher network ( Sun et al. , 2019a ), and knowledge\ntransfer at the pre-training ( Turc et al. , 2019 ; Jiao\net al. , 2019 ; Sun et al. , 2020 ) or fine-tuning stage\n( Jiao et al. , 2019 ). McCarley et al. ( 2020 ) suggest\nthat distillation has so far worked better for GLUE\nthan for reading comprehension, and report good\nresults for QA from a combination of structured\npruning and task-specific distillation.\n**Quantization** decreases BERT’s memory foot-\nprint through lowering the precision of its weights\n( Shen et al. , 2019 ; Zafrir et al. , 2019 ).

Enough syntactic information seems\nto be captured in the token embeddings themselves\nto recover syntactic trees ( Vilares et al. , 2020 ; Kim\net al. , 2020 ; Rosa and Mareˇcek , 2019 ), although\nprobing classifiers could not recover the labels of\ndistant parent nodes in the syntactic tree ( Liu et al. ,\n2019a ). Warstadt and Bowman ( 2020 ) report evi-\ndence of hierarchical structure in three out of four\nprobing tasks.\nAs far as *how* syntax is represented, it seems\nthat **syntactic structure is not directly encoded**\n**in self-attention weights** . Htut et al. ( 2019 ) were\nunable to extract full parse trees from BERT heads\neven with the gold annotations for the root. Jawahar\net al. ( 2019 ) include a brief illustration of a depen-\ndency tree extracted directly from self-attention\nweights, but provide no quantitative evaluation.\nHowever, **syntactic information can be recov-**\n**ered from BERT token representations** . Hewitt\nand Manning ( 2019 ) were able to learn transfor-\nmation matrices that successfully recovered syn-\ntactic dependencies in PennTreebank data from\nBERT’s token embeddings (see also Manning et al. ,\n2020 ). Jawahar et al. ( 2019 ) experimented with\ntransformations of the [CLS] token using Tensor\nProduct Decomposition Networks ( McCoy et al. ,\n2019a ), concluding that dependency trees are the\nbest match among 5 decomposition schemes (al-\nthough the reported MSE differences are very\nsmall). Miaschi and Dell’Orletta ( 2020 ) performs\na range of syntactic probing experiments with con-\ncatenated token representations as input.\nNote that all these approaches look for the\nevidence of gold-standard linguistic structures,\nand add some amount of extra knowledge to the\nprobe. Most recently, Wu et al. ( 2020 ) proposed a 4168\n[CLS] For those who follow social media transitions on Capitol Hill , this will be a little different .\n[CLS]\nFor\nthose\nwho\nfollow\nsocial\nmedia\ntransitions\non\nCapitol\nHill\n,\nthis\nwill\nbe\na\nlittle\ndifferent\n. 0\n1\n2\n3\n4\n5\nFigure 1: Heatmap of the impact matrix for the sen-\ntence “For those who follow social media transitions\non Capitol Hill, this will be a little different.”", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "arxiv2_taclccby4_license.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Primer in BERTology: What We Know About How BERT Works Anna Rogers Olga Kovaleva Anna Rumshisky Ab[...]\n\n## **9 Acknowledgements**\n\n### **References**\n\n[Than Generators](https://openreview.net/forum?id=r1xMH1BtvB) .

The best known\nTransformer-based model is BERT ( Devlin et al. ,\n2019 ); it obtained state-of-the-art results in numer-\nous benchmarks and is still a must-have baseline.\nWhile it is clear that BERT works remarkably\nwell, it is less clear *why* , which limits further\nhypothesis-driven improvement of the architecture.\nUnlike CNNs, the Transformers have little cogni-\ntive motivation, and the size of these models limits\nour ability to experiment with pre-training and per-\nform ablation studies. This explains a large number\nof studies over the past year that attempted to un-\nderstand the reasons behind BERT’s performance.\nIn this paper, we provide an overview of what\nhas been learned to date, highlighting the questions\nwhich are still unresolved. We first consider the\nlinguistic aspects of it, i.e., the current evidence\nregarding the types of linguistic and world knowl-\nedge learned by BERT, as well as where and how\nthis knowledge may be stored in the model. We\nthen turn to the technical aspects of the model and\nprovide an overview of the current proposals to\nimprove BERT’s architecture, pre-training and fine-\ntuning. We conclude by discussing the issue of\noverparameterization, the approaches to compress-\ning BERT, and the nascent area of pruning as a\nmodel analysis technique.", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "arxiv2_taclccby4_license.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Primer in BERTology: What We Know About How BERT Works Anna Rogers Olga Kovaleva Anna Rumshisky Ab[...]\n\n## **9 Acknowledgements**\n\n### **References**\n\n*tional Conference on Machine Learning* , pages\n2337- 2346.\nMitchell A Gordon, Kevin Duh, and Nicholas An-\ndrews. 2020.

As described in Note 1, these\nfinancial statements have been revised to include the transitional disclosures required by Statement of Financial\nAccounting Standards No. 142, *Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets* , which was adopted by the Company as of\nJanuary 1, 2002. Our audit procedures with respect to the disclosures in Note 1 with respect to 2001 and 2000\nincluded (a) agreeing the previously reported net income to the previously issued financial statements and the\nadjustments to reported net income representing amortization expense including related tax effects recognized in\nthose periods related to goodwill to the Company’s underlying records obtained from management, and (b) testing\nthe mathematical accuracy of the reconciliation of adjusted net income to reported net income, and the related\nearnings per share amounts.

Each of our subsidiary banks provides general commercial banking services, which\ninclude accepting and holding checking, savings and time deposits, making loans, automated teller machines, drive-\nin and night deposit services, safe deposit facilities, transmitting funds, and performing other customary commercial\nbanking services. Certain of our subsidiary banks also administer pension plans, profit sharing plans and other\nemployee benefit plans. First National Bank of Abilene, First National Bank, Sweetwater, Stephenville Bank and\nTrust Co. and San Angelo National Bank have active trust departments. The trust departments offer a complete\n3\nrange of services to individuals, associations, and corporations. These services include administering estates,\ntestamentary trusts, various types of living trusts, and agency accounts. In addition, First National Bank of Abilene,\nFirst Financial Bank, Cleburne, San Angelo National Bank and First Financial Bank, National Association,\nSouthlake, Texas provide securities brokerage services through arrangements with various third parties.\nWe have filed an application with the office of the Comptroller of the Currency to form a limited purpose\nnational bank under which we will consolidate the management of our current trust departments. The new entity\nwill operate as a subsidiary of our subsidiary holding company, First Financial Bankshares of Delaware, Inc.

We anticipate that the new trust\ncompany will begin operations in the latter part of 2003.\n####### **Competition**\nCommercial banking in Texas is highly competitive, and because we hold less than 1% of the state’s deposits,\nwe represent only a minor segment of the industry.

We’re proud to share in their success. Here are just a few of their stories.\nGeorge Marti believes in doing things. Good things.\nBorn to humble roots on his parents’ farm in 1920, Marti has accomplished much, including found-\ning three radio stations (and investing in 10 more) and developing a remote pickup device that\nbecame standard equipment in 80 percent of all radio stations worldwide.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:\nNature of Operations\nFirst Financial Bankshares, Inc. (a Texas corporation) (“Bankshares”) is a financial holding company which owns\n(through its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary) all of the capital stock of ten banks located in Texas as of\nDecember 31, 2002. Those subsidiary banks are First National Bank of Abilene; Hereford State Bank; First\nNational Bank, Sweetwater; Eastland National Bank; First Financial Bank, National Association, Cleburne;\nStephenville Bank & Trust Co.; San Angelo National Bank; Weatherford National Bank; First Financial Bank,\nNational Association, Southlake and City National Bank, Mineral Wells. Each subsidiary bank’s primary source of\nrevenue is providing loans and banking services to consumers and commercial customers in the market area in\nwhich the subsidiary is located.\nA summary of significant accounting policies of Bankshares and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) applied\nin the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows. The accounting principles\nfollowed by the Company and the methods of applying them are in conformity with both accounting principles\ngenerally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices of the banking industry.\nUse of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements\nThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United\nStates of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of\nassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and\nreported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those\nestimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the\ndetermination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuations of foreclosed real estate, deferred income tax assets,", + "page_start": 71, + "page_end": 72, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_FFIN_2002.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# annual report\n\n## **400 Pine Street**\n\n### Net gain on securities transactions 16,373 67,789 530,097\n\nand the fair value of financial instruments.\nConsolidation\nThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bankshares and its subsidiaries, all of\nwhich are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.\nInvestment Securities\nManagement classifies debt and equity securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading based on its\nintent. Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-\nto-maturity and recorded at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are\nrecognized as adjustments to interest income using the interest method. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity\nor trading are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses,\nnet of deferred income taxes, excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity.\nSecurities classified as trading are recorded at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in\nearnings. The Company had no trading securities at December 31, 2002, 2001, or 2000.\nLoans and Allowance for Loan Losses\nLoans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned income and an allowance for loan losses.\nUnearned income on installment loans is recognized in income over the terms of the loans in decreasing amounts\nusing a method which approximates the interest method. Interest on other loans is calculated by using the simple\ninterest method on daily balances of the principal amounts outstanding. The Company expenses its net loan\norigination costs, a method which does not materially differ from deferring and amortizing such amounts as an\nadjustment to yield. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to\nFIRST FINANCIAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES\nNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements\nDecember 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000\nF-10\nexpense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes the collectibility of\nthe principal is unlikely.\nThe allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated inherent losses on\nexisting loans that are deemed uncollectible based upon management’s review and evaluation of the loan portfolio.\nThe allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries).\nManagement’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on general economic conditions, the\nfinancial condition of the borrower, the value and liquidity of collateral, delinquency, prior loan loss experience, and", + "page_start": 72, + "page_end": 73, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_FFIN_2002.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# annual report\n\n#### “The value of our stock rose as we achieved higher earnings for the 16th year in a row.”\n\nOther operational systems have been examined and con-\nsistent practices and procedures have been implemented.\nTo further enhance our risk management assessments in\n2003, we will be introducing an Operational Peer Review\nTeam similar to the successful peer review teams used in\nthe Personal Trust areas of our four locations.\nPlans for the formation of a First Financial Bankshares\ntrust company are moving forward with regulatory approval\nanticipated in late Spring or early Summer.

Many of the Company’s financial instruments, however, lack an available trading market as\ncharacterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction.\nEstimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best available data, as generally provided in\nthe Company’s regulatory reports, and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial\ninstruments. For those loans and deposits with floating interest rates, it is presumed that estimated fair values\ngenerally approximate the carrying value.\nFIRST FINANCIAL BANKSHARES, INC.

All amounts, prices and per share data related to our common stock have been\nadjusted to give effect to all stock splits and stock dividends.\nOn July 3, 2001, we acquired City Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary City National Bank, Mineral Wells, Texas\nfor $16.5 million in cash. The results of City National Bank are included in our consolidated financial statements\nbeginning July 1, 2001 and may to some extent affect the comparisons to the prior period amounts and 2002\noperating results which include a full year of City National Bank’s operations.\n####### **Critical Accounting Policies**\nThe preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is based on the selection of certain\naccounting policies, based on generally accepted accounting principles and customary practices in the banking\nindustry. These policies, in certain areas, require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The\nfollowing discussion addresses the Company’s allowance for loan loss and its provision for loan losses which is\ndeemed by management to be its most critical accounting policy. We have other key accounting policies and\ncontinue to evaluate the materiality of their impact on our consolidated financial statements, but we believe that\nthese other policies either do not generally require us to make estimates and judgments that are difficult or\nsubjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported results for a given period.\nA policy is deemed critical if (i) the accounting estimate required the Company to make assumptions about\nmatters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made; and (ii) different estimates that\nreasonably could have been used in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably\nlikely to occur from period to period, would have a material impact on the financial statements.\nThe allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb inherent\nestimated losses on existing loans in which collectibility is unlikely based upon management’s review and\nevaluation of the loan portfolio, including letters of credit, lines of credit and unused commitments to provide\nfinancing. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of\nrecoveries).\nManagement’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on general economic conditions,\nthe financial condition of the borrower, the value and liquidity of collateral, delinquency, prior loan loss experience,", + "page_start": 42, + "page_end": 42, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_FFIN_2002.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# annual report\n\nannual report 2002\n2002 ANNUAL REPORT\n2 Corporate Profile\n3 Financial Highlights\n4 Letter to Shareholders\n6 Shareholder Values\n12 Selected Financial Data\n13 Trust Services\n14 Subsidiary Bank Reports\nFinancial Summaries\nSenior Officers and Directors\nMarket Share\n25 Form 10-K\nInside Back Cover Corporate Information\nAt First Financial Bankshares, we are not a complicated\ncompany.

We anticipate that the new trust\ncompany will begin operations in the latter part of 2003.\n####### **Competition**\nCommercial banking in Texas is highly competitive, and because we hold less than 1% of the state’s deposits,\nwe represent only a minor segment of the industry.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:\nNature of Operations\nFirst Financial Bankshares, Inc. (a Texas corporation) (“Bankshares”) is a financial holding company which owns\n(through its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary) all of the capital stock of ten banks located in Texas as of\nDecember 31, 2002. Those subsidiary banks are First National Bank of Abilene; Hereford State Bank; First\nNational Bank, Sweetwater; Eastland National Bank; First Financial Bank, National Association, Cleburne;\nStephenville Bank & Trust Co.; San Angelo National Bank; Weatherford National Bank; First Financial Bank,\nNational Association, Southlake and City National Bank, Mineral Wells. Each subsidiary bank’s primary source of\nrevenue is providing loans and banking services to consumers and commercial customers in the market area in\nwhich the subsidiary is located.\nA summary of significant accounting policies of Bankshares and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) applied\nin the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows. The accounting principles\nfollowed by the Company and the methods of applying them are in conformity with both accounting principles\ngenerally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices of the banking industry.\nUse of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements\nThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United\nStates of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of\nassets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and\nreported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those\nestimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the\ndetermination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuations of foreclosed real estate, deferred income tax assets,", + "page_start": 71, + "page_end": 72, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_FFIN_2002.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "news3.pdf", + "query": "What kind of scholarship programs are available to start a financial career?", + "target_page": 1, + "target_passage": "Some are offered directly through colleges and universities that have financial planning degree and certificate programs.

Scott Dueser\nPresident and Chief Executive Officer\n5\nGeorge Marti\nFounder Marti Enterprises Cleburne, Texas 6\nFirst Financial Bankshares customers and shareholders also know a thing or two about Value and Values - and we learn from them every day. We’re proud to share in their success. Here are just a few of their stories.\nGeorge Marti believes in doing things. Good things.\nBorn to humble roots on his parents’ farm in 1920, Marti has accomplished much, including found-\ning three radio stations (and investing in 10 more) and developing a remote pickup device that\nbecame standard equipment in 80 percent of all radio stations worldwide. He still has part own-\nership of KCLE in Cleburne, Texas (the town where he was once mayor for 12 years).\nMarti’s dedication to his hometown is part of the reason why he bought Cleburne State Bank in\n1992. His business skills (and success in the broadcasting industry) gave him the resources to\nturn the bank into yet another winning venture. Five years later, he sold it to First Financial, which\nmerged it with their existing First Financial Bank, Cleburne.\nThe proceeds from the sale helped Marti complete the funding for his proudest achievement: the\nMarti Foundation, which he created in the 1970s to help send students from Johnson County to\ncollege. “We help over 100 students a year ... most are the first from their family ever to attend\ncollege,” says Marti. “I know what education did for me, so it’s a great thing to help these young\npeople.” Marti says that when he dies, the Foundation will live on, $20 million strong.\nMarti still serves on the board of First Financial Bank, Cleburne. “First Financial’s merger of the\nbanks was positive for the community. They have a good customer base. They are friendly, help-\nful and creative. They are growing, and the branches in Alvarado and Burleson are both doing well.\nThose are all good things.”", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 7, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_FFIN_2002.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# 2004 Annual Report\n\n## OUR WORK\n\n### FINANCE\n\nentry system portal.

Now, in fact, people occasionally\nsay that we’re changing too rapidly. That may be true,\nbut a positive dynamism is emerging as a result, and\nNissan is stronger because of it.\nThe impetus for many of the modifications comes\nfrom top management. Mr. Ghosn, for one, takes a\ndirect and abiding interest in this area of operations.\nThere is also a cross-functional team dedicated to\norganizational issues that recommends changes to\nHR policy. And because half the people on our HR\nstaff come from other companies, many suggestions\nare coming from within as well. The latter is very\nunusual for a major Japanese company such as\nNissan, and is a direct result of a new policy we call\nMid-Career Scouting, which actively seeks talent\nfrom outside Nissan. All of these activities are\nindicative of the dynamism that is creating such\ndiversity at the Company.\nThere is no doubt that diversity is a key theme in our HR\nevolution. We are currently focusing on three areas in\nparticular: women in the workforce, Mid-Career Scouting,\nand embracing other cultures.

Under the terms of our revolver, we pay a variable rate\nof interest and a commitment fee based on our debt rating. The revolver is available for working capital, capital expenditures and general\ncorporate purposes and backs our commercial paper program. We have the option to increase the revolving commitment by up to $200, to a\ntotal of $1,000, provided that we obtain written consent from the lenders.\nOur $800 commercial paper program allows us to use the proceeds to fund operating cash requirements.

The\nChesapeake Scholars Program will provide up to $25,000 per year in tuition\nto selected students pursuing careers in finance, economics, accounting,\nmarketing, business administration, computer science and information\ntechnology. In addition, scholars will take part in a Chesapeake Presiden­\ntial Leadership Course facilitated by faculty members in coordination with\ndesignated Chesapeake leadership coaches, including a Chesapeake senior\nvice president and OCU alumni.\nIn 2007 Chesapeake launched a scholarship program in Texas with an\ninitial $1.25 million contribution, challenging the cities of Fort Worth and Dal­\nlas to match its gift within a year. The cities responded and matched the gift,\nso Chesapeake in 2008 added another $1.25 million to the fund, bringing the\ntotal to $3.75 million. The Chesapeake Scholarship Fund currently funds the\ncost of higher education for 48 minority students. The fund provides each\nstudent $20,000 a year for up to four years at the school of their choice. To\ndate more than $1.0 million has been distributed to deserving local students.\nTo help ensure the training of qualified geologists, engineers, land­\nmen and energy lawyers in the next generation, we award scholarships\nto students pursuing energy-related degrees. We also help mentor them\nthrough Chesapeake’s Peak Program. Junior- and senior-level scholarship\nrecipients are paired with Chesapeake employee mentors who help devel­\nop students’ knowledge and provide career advice. There are currently 25\nmentors and 40 scholarship recipients participating in the Peak Program.\nOur recruiting team also initiated a strategic military recruitment\neffort during the past two years to hire former military personnel to\nwork in a variety of leadership and crew positions. This effort earned\nChesapeake an honor from G.I. JOBS magazine when we were named a\n2011 Top 100 Military-Friendly Employer.

With those goals in mind, a career in financial planning should\nbe a top contender, whether you are just starting out or looking to make a career change. But once you have\ndecided that financial planning is the field for you, how do you get started? Here are three resources that can help\nyou launch a successful financial planning career.\n1. [Guide to Careers in Financial Planning](https://www.cfp.net/knowledge/reports-and-statistics/guide-to-careers-in-financial-planning) . Based on interviews with leading financial services firms, this guide\nintroduces you to the wide range of career opportunities in the financial planning profession. It identifies typical entry\npoints and career tracks, explores the types of companies that hire financial planners and provides information on\nhow to find financial planning career opportunities. It also includes resources such as a list of recommended\nquestions to ask in a job interview.\n2. Scholarship Programs. Dozens of scholarship programs are available to support you on your professional\njourney. Some are offered directly through colleges and universities that have financial planning degree and\ncertificate programs. Others are available through nonprofits and organizations like the CFP Board Center for\nFinancial Planning, which administers [16 scholarship programs](https://www.cfp.net/get-certified/tools-and-resources/apply-for-a-scholarship) that help pay for the education and exam\nrequirements to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM professional. Financial services firms may offer\nscholarships or tuition reimbursements to employees to cover the costs of obtaining professional designations and\ncredentials such as CFP® certification -- some of which may be required to advance within the company.\n3. Career Fairs. In-person and virtual career fairs provide valuable opportunities to connect with prospective\nemployers. CFP Board’s spring and fall career fairs are some of the most popular hiring events in the profession,\nwith dozens of firms participating in these online exhibitions. Job seekers can visit employers’ virtual exhibit booths\nand view open jobs and internships, apply for open positions and interact with employers through one-on-one video\nmeetings and messaging. You can also visit the [CFP Board Career Center](https://careers.cfp.net/) to browse current job and internship\nopportunities in financial planning, as well as a collection of articles providing career guidance.\nOther top resources include career offices at your college or university, financial services companies’ career", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "news3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# BASIC ENGLISH language skills\n\n## IMPROVE YOUR MARKS!\n\n###### CHAPTER 12:\n\nyou have been given during your time with the organisation.\nExample:\n“I would like to thank you for the wonderful opportunities you have given\nme, both to develop my skills, and to work with such knowledgeable and\ninspiring people.”\n5.\nAn offer to help with the transition.\nOnly include this if you are sincere, and don’t make any promises\nthat you won’t be able to keep.

You\ncan then end your letter with a greeting such as “Kind regards,” followed\nby your signature.\nRemember that your resignation letter will be kept on file, as it forms\npart of your employment record.

However, it is usually ap­\npropriate to inform your manager of your intention to resign in person,\nand then to follow up your conversation with the formal resignation\nletter.\nWhat to include:\nYour resignation letter should be short and to the point.

And for this reason, having good\nlanguage skills is essential in any working environment.\nIn a career context, good language skills can also:\n- Affect your credibility. Poor grammar indicates to a prospective\nemployer that you are sloppy, while flawless grammar indicates that\nyou pay attention to detail.\n- Improve your relationships with your co- workers. If you are able\nto express yourself clearly, you can eliminate the confusion and\nmisunderstanding that often leads to conflict.\n- Increase your chances of being promoted .\n- Help you to create a good impression.\n- Improve your ability to persuade others (which is a valuable skill in the\nworking world).\nIN THIS E-BOOK, WE’LL BE HELPING YOU TO:\n- Develop your basic English language skills.\n- Improve your English grammar.\nApply your language and communication skills in a business contexT.\n(www.oxbridgeacademy.co.za/find-a- course/business-administration-\ncourses/)\n*“Grammar is a litmus test.

At the same time, the share of the age\nclass between 15 and 39 years decreased from 49.6% to 41.6%, or 8.5 million. Already 5.1 million\nemployed persons are older than 65 years, making up a share of 2.6% of the workforce. 303\n\n**Table 31: Average age of the EU27 workforce 304**\n\nThe development of **skill levels** shows the most significant changes in the period between 2005 and\n2020. When comparing 2005 with 2020, for most occupations **higher skills** are required. In this period,\nthe share of occupations requiring the three lowest education levels fell from 24.5% to 15.5%; the share\nof occupations that require a tertiary education grew from 24.9% to 36.4%.\n\n**Figure 39: Workforce structure, skill levels - Eurostat 305**\n\nThe **migrant and mobile workforce** in the EU27 also increased in the past two decades. The majority\nof migrants are intra-EU, that is, all workers who are born in a Member State other than the one where\nthey currently work and reside; this number is estimated at 10.4 million (2019), based on LFS data. 306\nCross-border workers account for another 1.5 million 307 and posted workers for 2.4 million. 308 In 2020,\n8.6 million extra-EU citizens (born outside the EU) were employed in the EU labour market, out of 196\nmillion persons aged from 20 to 64, corresponding to 5.3% of the total. 309 The sum of all different\ncategories of mobile extra- and intra-EU workers is roughly about 23 million, or about 12% of the EU\nworkforce.\n\n**Figure 40: Workforce structure, mobility and migration - European Commission**\n\nRegarding OSH, it is important to consider that **migrants from non-EU countries are over-**\n**represented in certain sectors and occupations** like cleaners and helpers, personal services and\ncare, building workers, mining, manufacturing, transport, food and agriculture.

Cross-cutting design questions** *\n\nThe workshops briefly touched on several cross-cutting design questions. While most\nrelevant for approaches that depend on limitations and exceptions, considerations of these\nquestions may be relevant across both tracks.\n*Would authors, publishers, and other relevant rightsholders* *and creators have any ability to exclude their works?*\nOne of the greatest sources of controversy in this area is the extent to which rightsholders of\ncopyrighted works, as well as the original creators of such works (e.g., book authors in this\ncontext), should be able to prevent use of their works for AI training.\nWhile a system that required affirmative “opt-in” consent would limit utility significantly (as\ndiscussed above in the context of directly licensing works), a system that allowed some\nforms of “opt-out” could still be quite useful to some types of AI development. In the context\nof use cases like development of LLMs, the performance impact may not be so significant.\nSince most in-copyright books are not actively managed, the majority of books would remain\nin the corpus by default. The performance of LLMs can still be improved across various\ndimensions without including, for example, the most famous writers or those who continue\nto commercially exploit their works and may choose to exercise an opt-out. Perhaps the\npotential for licensing relationships (and revenue) may induce some rightsholders to come\nforward and begin actively managing their works. In such a case, uses that do require a\nlicense may once again become more feasible once the rightsholder can be reached.\nWorkshop participants discussed different types of opt-outs that could be built. For example,\nopt-outs could be thought of not in blanket terms, but only as applied to certain uses, for\nexample to commercial uses of the corpus, but not research uses. This could build on or\nmirror the approach that the EU has taken in its text and data mining exceptions to\ncopyright.

Unlike CC0, PDM doesn’t\nchange the copyright status of a work.\nPDM can be used by anyone, and is intended for use\nwith works that are already free of known copyright\nrestrictions throughout the world.\n##### Public domain works are valuable because anyone\n##### can freely build upon, enhance, and reuse them for\n##### any purposes without restriction under copyright\n##### or database law.\nThat’s why it’s important for creators to have a clear and\nlegally robust way to place their works in the public domain as\ncompletely as possible, and it’s also important for publishers\nand archives to have a standardized way to identify works that\nare already in the public domain.\nCreative Commons supports two distinct public domain tools,\nthe CC0 Public Domain Dedication and the Public Domain\nMark . Creative Commons copyright licenses help authors\nmanage their copyright on terms they choose. Conversely, CC0\nenables authors and copyright owners who want to dedicate\ntheir works to the worldwide public domain to do so, and PDM\nfacilitates the labeling and discovery of works that are already\nfree of known copyright restrictions.\nWhere public domain tools fit in the copyright spectrum\nSome rights\nreserved\nAll rights\nreserved\nPDM\nNo known\ncopyright\nCC0\nPublic\ndomain", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "Publicdomain.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Guide to using public domain tools What Is Creative Commons?

We believe that strengthening our regional management teams\nallows us to more eÅectively and eÇciently drive our company's initiatives and helps ensure\nconsistency throughout our organization. Our regional management teams and our area presidents have\nextensive authority, responsibility and autonomy for operations within their respective geographic\nmarkets. Compensation for regional and area management teams is primarily based on the improve-\nment in operating income produced and the free cash Öow and return on invested capital generated in\neach manager's geographic area of responsibility. In addition, through long-term incentive programs,\nincluding stock options, we believe we have one of the lowest turnover levels in the industry for our\nlocal management teams. As a result of retaining experienced managers with extensive knowledge of\nand involvement in their local communities, we are proactive in anticipating our customers' needs and\nadjusting to changes in our markets. We also seek to implement the best practices of our various\nregions and areas throughout our operations to improve operating margins.\n‚ * **Integrated Operations.** * We seek to achieve a high rate of internalization by controlling waste streams\nfrom the point of collection through disposal. We expect that our fully integrated markets generally will\nhave a lower cost of operations and more favorable cash Öows than our non-integrated markets.\nThrough acquisitions and other market development activities, we create market-speciÑc, integrated\noperations typically consisting of one or more collection companies, transfer stations and landÑlls. We\nconsider acquiring companies that own or operate landÑlls with signiÑcant permitted disposal capacity\nand appropriate levels of waste volume. We also seek to acquire solid waste collection companies in\nmarkets in which we own or operate landÑlls. In addition, we generate internal growth in our disposal\noperations by developing new landÑlls and expanding our existing landÑlls from time to time in markets\nin which we have signiÑcant collection operations or in markets that we determine lack suÇcient\ndisposal capacity. During the three months ended December 31, 2004, approximately 54% of the total\nvolume of waste that we collected was disposed of at landÑlls we own or operate. In a number of our\nlarger markets, we and our competitors are required to take waste to government-controlled disposal\nfacilities. This provides us with an opportunity to eÅectively compete in these markets without\ninvesting in landÑll capacity.

By further integrating operations in existing\nmarkets through acquisitions and development of landÑlls and transfer stations, we may be able to\nreduce our disposal costs.\n‚ * **Economies of Scale, Cost EÇciencies and Asset Utilization.** * To improve operating margins, our\nmanagement focuses on achieving economies of scale and cost eÇciencies. The consolidation of\nacquired businesses into existing operations reduces costs by decreasing capital and expenses used for\nrouting, personnel, equipment and vehicle maintenance, inventories and back-oÇce administration.\nGenerally, we consolidate our acquired administrative centers to reduce our general and administrative\ncosts. Our goal is to maintain our selling, general and administrative costs in the range of 10% of\nrevenue, which we feel is appropriate given our existing business platform. In addition, our size allows\n4\nour company to negotiate volume discounts for certain purchases, including waste disposal rates at\nlandÑlls operated by third parties. Furthermore, we have taken steps to increase utilization of our\nassets. For example, to reduce the number of collection vehicles and maximize the eÇciency of our\nÖeet, we have instituted a grid productivity program which allows us to benchmark the performance of\nall of our drivers. In our larger markets, we also use a route optimization program to minimize drive\ntimes and improve operating density. By using assets more eÇciently, operating expenses can be\nsigniÑcantly reduced.\n‚ * **High Levels of Customer Satisfaction.** * Our goal of maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction\ncomplements our operating strategy. Our personalized sales process is oriented towards maintaining\nrelationships and ensuring that service is being properly provided.\n‚ * **Utilize Systems to Improve Consistency in Financial and Operational Reporting.** * We continue to\nfocus on systems and training initiatives that complement our operating strategy. These initiatives\ninclude contact management, billing, productivity, maintenance and general ledger systems.

BUSINESS**\n####### **Company Overview**\nWe are a leading provider of services in the domestic non-hazardous solid waste industry. We provide\nnon-hazardous solid waste collection services for commercial, industrial, municipal and residential customers\nthrough 140 collection companies in 22 states. We also own or operate 96 transfer stations, 58 solid waste\nlandÑlls and 35 recycling facilities.\nAs of December 31, 2004, our operations were organized into Ñve regions whose boundaries may change\nfrom time to time: Eastern, Central, Southern, Southwestern and Western. Each region is organized into\nseveral operating areas and each area contains a group of operating locations. Each of our regions and\nsubstantially all our areas provide collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services. We believe that this\norganizational structure facilitates the integration of our operations within each region, which is a critical\ncomponent of our operating strategy. See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for\nfurther discussion of operating segments.\nWe had revenue of $2,708.1 million and $2,517.8 million and operating income of $452.3 million and\n$412.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $190.3 million, or 7.6%,\nincrease in revenue from 2003 to 2004 is primarily attributable to the successful execution of our operating and\ngrowth strategies described below. The $39.6 million, or 9.6%, increase in operating income from 2003 to 2004\nis partially due to higher self-insurance expense during 2003 related to existing claims and was attributable to\nthe expansion of our operations and various changes in estimates as a result of continued negative trends\nthrough the 2003 policy year. The remaining increase in operating income is due to the successful execution of\nour operating and growth strategies described below.\nOur presence in high growth markets throughout the Sunbelt, including California, Florida, Georgia,\nNevada, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas, and in other domestic markets that have experienced\nhigher than average population growth during the past several years, supports our internal growth strategy.

During the\nfourth quarter of 2003, we implemented a broad-based pricing initiative across all lines of our business.\n*Long-Term Contracts.* We seek to obtain long-term contracts for collecting solid waste in high-\ngrowth markets. These include exclusive franchise agreements with municipalities as well as commer-\ncial and industrial contracts. By obtaining such long-term agreements, we have the opportunity to grow\nour contracted revenue base at the same rate as the underlying population growth in these markets. For\nexample, we have secured exclusive, long-term franchise agreements in high-growth markets such as\nLos Angeles, Orange and Contra Costa Counties in California, Las Vegas, Nevada, Arlington, Texas,\nand many areas of Florida. We believe that this positions our company to experience internal growth\nrates that are generally higher than our industry's overall growth rate. In addition, we believe that by\nsecuring a base of long-term recurring revenue in growth markets, we are better able to protect our\nmarket position from competition and our business may be less susceptible to downturns in economic\nconditions.\n*Sales and Marketing Activities.* We seek to manage our sales and marketing activities to enable our\ncompany to capitalize on our leading positions in many of the markets in which we operate. We\ncurrently have approximately 500 sales and marketing employees in the Ñeld, who are compensated\nusing a commission structure that is focused on generating high levels of quality revenue. For the most\npart, these employees directly solicit business from existing and prospective commercial, industrial,\nmunicipal and residential customers. We emphasize our rate and cost structures when we train new\nand existing sales personnel. In addition, we utilize a contact management system that assists our sales\npeople in tracking leads. It also tracks renewal periods for potential commercial, industrial and\nfranchise contracts.\n*Development Activities.* We seek to identify opportunities to further our position as an integrated\nservice provider in markets where we provide services for a portion of the waste stream. Where\nappropriate, we seek to obtain permits to build transfer stations and/or landÑlls that would provide\n5\nvertically integrated waste services or expand the service area for our existing disposal sites.\nDevelopment projects, while generally less capital intensive, typically require extensive permitting", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 13, + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ANNUAL REPORT 2004\n\n## **110 SE 6th Street, 28th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301**\n\n### **REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.**\n\n####### **Operations**\n\nsmaller businesses that also operate in that market and surrounding markets, which are typically\nreferred to as \"\"tuck-in'' acquisitions. We seek to consolidate the operations of such tuck-in businesses\ninto our existing operations in that market. We also seek to acquire landÑlls, transfer stations and\ncollection companies that operate in markets that we are already servicing in order to fully integrate our\noperations from collection to disposal. In addition, we have in the past and may continue in the future\nto exchange businesses with other solid waste companies if by doing so there is a net beneÑt to our\nbusiness platform. These activities allow us to increase our revenue and market share, lower our cost of\noperations as a percentage of revenue, and consolidate duplicative facilities and functions to maximize\ncost eÇciencies and economies of scale.\n*Acquire Well-Managed Companies.* We also seek to acquire businesses that have experienced\nmanagement teams that are willing to join the management of our company. We generally seek to\nmaintain continuity in management of larger acquired companies in order to capitalize on their local\n6\nmarket knowledge, community relations and name recognition, and to instill their entrepreneurial drive\nat all levels of our operations. By furnishing the local management of such acquired companies with our\nÑnancial and marketing resources and technical expertise, we believe that the acquired companies are\nbetter able to secure additional municipal franchises and other contracts.\n*Privatize Municipal Operations and Acquire Divested Operations.* We also seek to acquire solid\nwaste collection operations, transfer stations and landÑlls that municipalities and other governmental\nauthorities are privatizing. Many municipalities are seeking to outsource or sell these types of solid\nwaste operations, as they lack the capital, technical expertise and/or operational resources necessary to\ncomply with increasingly stringent regulatory standards and/or to compete eÅectively with private-\nsector companies. In addition, we have acquired, and will continue to seek to acquire, operations and\nfacilities that may be divested by other publicly-owned waste companies.\n####### **Operations**\nOur operations primarily consist of the collection, transfer and disposal of non-hazardous solid waste.\n*Collection Services.* We provide solid waste collection services to commercial, industrial, municipal and\nresidential customers in 22 states through 140 collection companies. In 2004, 74.3% of our revenue was\nderived from collection services consisting of approximately 32.5% from services provided to municipal and\nresidential customers, 36.6% from services provided to commercial customers, and 30.9% from services\nprovided to industrial and other customers.", + "page_start": 13, + "page_end": 14, + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ANNUAL REPORT 2004\n\n## **110 SE 6th Street, 28th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301**\n\n### **REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.**\n\n####### **Operating Strategy**\n\n‚ utilize a decentralized management structure in overseeing day-to-day operations,\n‚ integrate waste operations,\n‚ improve operating margins through economies of scale, cost eÇciencies and asset utilization,\n‚ achieve high levels of customer satisfaction, and\n‚ utilize systems to improve consistency in Ñnancial and operational performance.\nFor certain risks related to our operating strategy, see \"\"Risk Factors.''\n‚ * **Experienced Executive Management Team.** * We believe that we have one of the most experienced\nexecutive management teams in the solid waste industry.\nJames E. O'Connor, who has served as our Chief Executive OÇcer since December 1998, also\nbecame our Chairman in January 2003. He worked at Waste Management, Inc. from 1972 to 1978 and\nfrom 1982 to 1998. During that time, he served in various management positions, including Senior Vice\nPresident in 1997 and 1998, and Area President of Waste Management of Florida, Inc. from 1992 to\n1997. Mr. O'Connor has over 30 years of experience in the solid waste industry.\nMichael J. Cordesman, who has served as our Chief Operating OÇcer since March 2002 and also as\nour President since February 2003, has over 24 years of experience in the solid waste industry. He\njoined us in June 2001 as our Eastern Region Vice President. From 1999 to 2001, Mr. Cordesman\nserved as Vice President of the Central Region for Superior Services Inc. From 1980 to 1999, he served\nin various positions with Waste Management, including Vice President of the Mid-Atlantic Region\nfrom 1992 to 1999.\n3\nThe other corporate oÇcers with responsibility for our operations have an average of over 23 years of\nmanagement experience in the solid waste industry. Our Ñve regional vice presidents and our 23 area\npresidents have an average of 24 years of experience in the industry.\nIn addition, Harris W. Hudson, who has served as our Vice Chairman since our initial public\noÅering, has over 40 years of experience in the solid waste industry, including 11 years with Waste\nManagement and 19 years with private waste collection companies.\n‚ * **Decentralized Management Structure.** * We maintain a relatively small corporate headquarters staÅ,\nrelying on a decentralized management structure to minimize administrative overhead costs and to\nmanage our day-to-day operations more eÇciently.

The ability of the integrated companies to both\ncollect and dispose of solid waste, coupled with access to signiÑcant capital resources necessary for\nacquisitions, has created an environment in which large publicly-owned, integrated companies can\noperate more cost eÅectively and competitively than non-integrated operators.\n*Municipal Privatization.* The trend toward consolidation in the solid waste services industry is\nfurther supported by the increasing tendency of a number of municipalities to privatize their waste\ndisposal operations. Privatization of municipal waste operations is often an attractive alternative to\nfunding the changes required by Subtitle D.\nThese developments, as well as the fact that there are a limited number of viable exit strategies for many\nof the owners and principals of numerous privately-held companies in the industry, have contributed to the\noverall consolidation trend in the solid waste industry.\n####### **Financial Strategy**\nA key component of our Ñnancial strategy is our ability to generate free cash Öow. Our deÑnition of free\ncash Öow, which is not a measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is\ncash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment plus proceeds from the sale of\nproperty and equipment as presented in our consolidated statement of cash Öows. We believe that free cash\nÖow provides useful information regarding the recurring cash provided by our operating activities after\nexpenditures for property and equipment. It also demonstrates our ability to execute our Ñnancial strategy.\nConsequently, we have developed incentive programs and we conduct monthly Ñeld operating reviews that\nhelp focus our entire company on the importance of increasing free cash Öow.\nFree cash Öow does not represent our cash Öow available for discretionary expenditures because it\nexcludes certain expenditures that are required or that we have committed to such as debt service\nrequirements and dividend payments. Our deÑnition of free cash Öow may not be comparable to similarly\ntitled measures presented by other companies.\nWe manage our free cash Öow primarily by ensuring that capital expenditures and operating asset levels\nare appropriate in light of our existing business and growth opportunities and by closely managing our working\ncapital, which consists primarily of accounts receivable and accounts payable.\nWe have used and will continue to use our cash Öow to maximize stockholder value as well as our return\non investment. This includes the following:\n‚ * **Customer Service.** * We will continue to reinvest in our existing Öeet of vehicles, equipment, landÑlls", + "page_start": 9, + "page_end": 9, + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ANNUAL REPORT 2004\n\n## **110 SE 6th Street, 28th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301**\n\n### **REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.**\n\n####### **Competition**\n\nlarge \"\"Fortune 500'' companies and municipalities.\nMost of our marketing activity is local in nature. However, in 2000 we initiated a national accounts\nprogram in response to our customers' needs.\nWe generally do not change the tradenames of the local businesses we acquire, and therefore we do not\noperate nationally under any one mark or tradename. Rather, we rely on the goodwill associated with the\nacquired companies' local tradenames as used in each geographic market in which we operate.\n####### **Customers**\nWe provide services to commercial, industrial, municipal and residential customers. No one customer has\nindividually accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue or of our reportable segment revenue in\nany of the last three years.\n8\n####### **Competition**\nWe operate in a highly competitive industry. Entry into our business and the ability to operate proÑtably\nin the industry requires substantial amounts of capital and managerial experience.\nCompetition in the non-hazardous solid waste industry comes from a few large, national publicly-owned\ncompanies, including Waste Management and Allied Waste Industries, several regional publicly- and\nprivately-owned solid waste companies, and thousands of small privately-owned companies. Some of our\ncompetitors have signiÑcantly larger operations, and may have signiÑcantly greater Ñnancial resources, than\nwe do. In addition to national and regional Ñrms and numerous local companies, we compete with\nmunicipalities that maintain waste collection or disposal operations. These municipalities may have Ñnancial\nadvantages due to the availability of tax revenues and tax-exempt Ñnancing.\nWe compete for collection accounts primarily on the basis of price and the quality of our services. From\ntime to time, our competitors may reduce the price of their services in an eÅort to expand market share or to\nwin a competitively bid municipal contract. This may have an impact on our future revenue and proÑtability.\nIn each market in which we own or operate a landÑll, we compete for landÑll business on the basis of\ndisposal costs, geographical location and quality of operations. Our ability to obtain landÑll business may be\nlimited by the fact that some major collection companies also own or operate landÑlls to which they send their\nwaste. There also has been an increasing trend at the state and local levels to mandate waste reduction at the\nsource and to prohibit the disposal of certain types of waste, such as yard waste, at landÑlls. This may result in\nthe volume of waste going to landÑlls being reduced in certain areas, which may aÅect our ability to operate", + "page_start": 15, + "page_end": 16, + "source_file": "NYSE_RSG_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ANNUAL REPORT 2004\n\n## **10.

Our 2004 results are a clear reminder of the power of moving forward. Our financial policies have long\nbeen designed to create and maintain momentum. By investing in our best assets and thinking of new ways to add\nvalue to our shareholders, we are able to redefine our Company’s place in history every year - and 2004 was a defin-\ning time even by our exacting standards.\nSo how did we get here? Last year, we discussed the importance of focus, and the laser-like precision with which\nwe operated our resorts in 2004 affirms the power of our single-minded dedication to excellence. The hard work of\nour 40,000 employees resulted in a record year in almost every regard. Net revenues increased 10% over 2003 to a\nrecord $4.2 billion, with 12% REVPAR growth at our Las Vegas resorts; property-level EBITDA was an all-time\nrecord, nearly $1.5 billion, and 23% higher than the prior year. We exceeded the expectations of every market\nobserver, and significantly beat our forecasts. And 2004 will not be a zenith year for your company - rather, we\nexpect to continue our excellent operating performance, re-invest the resulting cash flow to stimulate future growth\nand move forward to new defining moments.\nHow do we re-define a company that is already at the top of its industry? First, we continue to execute on our\nvision for our existing resorts - to continually evolve and increase the “Wow!” factor for our guests. This strategy\nrequires investment, and we will ensure that our resorts are not only world-class, but best-in-class. Examples include\nthe beautiful Spa Tower at Bellagio and *KÀ* , the latest spectacular creation in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil.\n**GAMAL AZIZ** President, MGM Grand\n**JAMES J.

As a result, your company has\npursued a growth strategy that calls for maximizing the\nassets we currently own and seeking prudent development\nopportunities and strategic acquisitions.\nUpon completion of our merger with Mandalay,\nMGM MIRAGE will be the world’s leading gaming and\nleisure company. The combination will result in a well-\ncapitalized company uniquely situated to invest in its\ncurrent portfolio in addition to creating new projects\nin the United States and around the world.\nWe believe this is an outstanding\ntransaction for the shareholders of\nboth companies. With this\nacquisition, we will own,\noperate and have investments\nin 28 properties throughout Nevada, Mississippi,\nIllinois, Michigan, and New Jersey.\nThe combined company will have an asset portfolio\nwhich includes some of the most widely recognized brand\nnames in the world. These properties cater to a broad\ncustomer base, ranging from value-oriented to the ultra-\nhigh end. Each resort provides a unique customer experience\nthrough its specific personality and combination of amenities.\nWe also will have at Mandalay Bay the fifth largest\nconvention center in the United States, providing the com-\npany with a great resource to further develop the business\ntravel and convention market.\nBut the bricks and mortar tell only part of the story\nof this transaction. At the heart of Mandalay is its people.\nMandalay employees at all levels are energetic and talented\nand will be a tremendous asset to us. Together, we will become\na family in excess of 70,000 people committed to delivering\nthe best possible experiences for our guests. The transaction\nalso will create unparalleled opportunities for our entire family\nof employees.\nIn short, this groundbreaking transaction creates\nunstoppable momentum for all stakeholders in the\nMGM MIRAGE family.\nDefining Momentum in our Properties\nIn 2004, your company invested over $690 million of\ncapital in the creation of new restaurants, clubs, shows and\nnightspots as well as the development of strategic enhance-\nments to existing amenities. These investments generated\nexceptional returns in a time when competition for the\nentertainment dollar has never been higher.\nE A R N I N G S P E R S H A R E **2 0 0 2**", + "page_start": 5, + "page_end": 6, + "source_file": "NYSE_MGM_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# defining momentum MGM MIRAGE 2004 ANNUAL REPORT\n\n## Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 20\n\nroom base. In addition, we added new meeting, retail and dining space and signifi-\ncantly expanded the spa and salon. *KÀ* opened in late November 2004 at MGM\nGrand Las Vegas, which had been without a featured production show for almost\ntwo years. Along with the numerous restaurant and other entertainment additions\nat MGM Grand Las Vegas, *KÀ* will enhance our ability to generate visitor traffic\nand capture a greater share of our guests’ spending.\nWynn Las Vegas will add room capacity to the Las Vegas market, with its 2,700\nrooms representing a 2% increase in Las Vegas room supply. Wynn Las Vegas will\nalso feature numerous upscale restaurants and generally target customers who might\notherwise choose Bellagio, MGM Grand Las Vegas or The Mirage. We believe there\nwill be some impact on these resorts from Wynn Las Vegas, but also believe that the\nbreadth of amenities in our portfolio of resorts and our loyalty and other marketing\nprograms will help minimize these competitive pressures. The proximity of Wynn\nLas Vegas to TI and The Mirage, along with pedestrian bridges linking TI with the\nFashion Show Mall and Venetian, will also benefit these resorts.\n**Mandalay Merger**\nOn June 16, 2004, we announced that we had entered into a definitive merger\nagreement with Mandalay Resort Group (“Mandalay”), a publicly traded company,\nunder which we will acquire Mandalay for $71.00 in cash for each share of\ncommon stock of Mandalay. Mandalay owns and operates eleven properties in\nNevada, including Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, Circus Circus, and Slots-A-Fun\nin Las Vegas, Circus Circus-Reno in Reno, Colorado Belle and Edgewater in\nLaughlin, Gold Strike and Nevada Landing in Jean, and Railroad Pass in\nHenderson. Mandalay also owns and operates Gold Strike, a hotel/casino in Tunica\nCounty, Mississippi. In addition, Mandalay owns a 50% interest in Silver Legacy in\nReno, a 50% interest in Monte Carlo in Las Vegas, a 50% interest in Grand\nVictoria, a riverboat in Elgin, Illinois, and a 53.5% interest in MotorCity in\nDetroit, Michigan. The total consideration is approximately $8.1 billion, including\nequity value of approximately $4.8 billion, convertible debentures with a redemp-\ntion value of approximately $574 million, the assumption or repayment of other\noutstanding Mandalay debt with a fair value of approximately $2.6 billion as of\nDecember 31, 2004, and $100 million of estimated transaction costs.

Slightly over\nhalf of our net revenues are derived from gaming activities, a lower percentage than\nmany of our competitors, as our operating philosophy is to provide a complete\nresort experience for our guests, including non-gaming amenities which command\npremium prices based on their quality.\nWe generate a majority of our net revenues and operating income from our Las\nVegas Strip resorts. In 2004, over 75% of our net revenues and operating income\nwas generated by wholly-owned Las Vegas Strip resorts. We believe that we own the\npremier casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, and a main focus of our strategy is to\ncontinually reinvest in these resorts to maintain that competitive advantage. Our\nconcentration on the Las Vegas Strip exposes us to certain risks outside of our\ncontrol, such as competition from other Las Vegas Strip resorts as well as new or\nexpanded resorts in Las Vegas, including Wynn Las Vegas expected to open in 2005,\nand the impact from potential expansion of gaming in California. This concentra-\ntion also exposes us to risks related to tourism and the general economy, including\nnational and global economic conditions and terrorist attacks or other global events.\n**Key Performance Indicators**\nAs a resort-based company, our operating results are highly dependent on the\nvolume of customers at our resorts, which in turn impacts the price we can charge\nfor our hotel rooms and other amenities. We also generate a significant portion of\nour operating income from the high-end gaming segment, which can cause\nvariability in our results. Key performance indicators related to revenue are:\n- Gaming revenue indicators - table games drop and slot handle (volume\nindicators); “win” or “hold” percentage, which is not fully controllable by us. Our\nnormal table games win percentage is in the range of 18% to 22% of table games", + "page_start": 29, + "page_end": 29, + "source_file": "NYSE_MGM_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# defining momentum MGM MIRAGE 2004 ANNUAL REPORT\n\n## FINANCIAL OVERVIEW\n\nincreased share of each guest’s spending budget. Since 2000,\nwe have invested over $2.0 billion in capital in our resorts and\nour unconsolidated affiliates, which helped drive EBITDA\nfrom $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion in 2004, with significant\ncash flow-producing assets just coming on line in late 2004.\nSecond, we can return capital to the shareholders.

TEMPERATURE. The absolute tempera- cure of the air is another important property. The ordinary temperature measurement by the Centigrade scale has a/datum at the freezing point of water but absolute zero temperature is obtained at a temperature of -273“ Centi- grade. Thus, the standard sea level tcmpera- ture of 15” C. is an absolute temperature of 288”. This scale of absolute temperature using the Centigrade increments is the Kelvin scale, e.g., o K. The shorthand notation for the ambient air temperature is “T” and the stand- ard sea level air temperature of 288’ K. is signified by Ta. The more usual reference is,\nthe proportion of the ambient air temperature and the standard sea level air temperature. This temperature ratio is assigned the short- hand notation of 0 (theta).

DENSITY. The density of the air is a prop- erty of greatest importance in the study of aerodynamics. The density of air is simply the mass of air per~cubic foot of volume and is a direct measure of the quantity of matter in each cubic foot of air. Air at standard sea lcvcl conditions weighs 0.0765 pounds per cubic foot and has a density of 0.002378 slugs per cubic foot. At an altitude of 40,000 feet the air density is approximately 25 percent of the sea level value. The shorthand notation used for air density is p (rho) and the standard sea level air density is then pO. In many parts of aerodynamics it is very convenient to consider the proportion of the ambient air density and standard sea level air density. This density ratio is assigned the shorthand notation of c (sigma).\ndensity ratio= ambient air density standard sea level air density\na = PIP0\nA general gas law defines the relationship of pressure temperature, and density when there is no change of state or heat transfer.

The dynamic pressure of a free airstream is the one ‘common denominator of all aero- dynamic forces and moments. Dynamic pres- sure represents the kinetic energy of the free airstream and is a factor relating the capability for producing changes in static pressure on a surface. As defined, the dynamic, pressure varies directly as the density and the square of the velocity. Typical values of dynamic pres- sure, 4, are shown in table l-1 for various true airspeeds in the standard atmosphere. Notice that the dynamic pressure at some fixed veloc- ity varies directly with the density ratio at any altitude. Also, appreciate the fact that at an altitude of 40,oM) feet (where the density ratio, b, is 0.2462) it is necessary to have a true air velocity twice that at sea level in order to product the same dynamic pressure.", + "page_start": 26, + "page_end": 26, + "source_file": "00-80T-80.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# AERODYNAMICS FOR NAVAL AVIATORS\n\n## TABLE OF CONTENTS\n\n### Figure 1.7.

Since there is only air within the tube, the unbalance of force is provided by the static pressure at station 1 being greater than the static pressure at the constriction, station 2. (2) The total energy of the air stream in the tube is unchanged. However, the air- .’ stream energy may be in two forms. The airstream may have a potential energy which is related by the static pressure and a kimtic energy by virtue of mass and motion. As the total energy is unchanged, an increase in velocity (kinetic energy) will be accompa- nied by a decrease in static pressure (poten- tial energy). This situation is analagous to a ball rolling along-a smooth surface. As the ball rolls downhill, the potential energy due to position is exchanged for kinetic energy of motion. If .friction- were negli- gibie, the change of potential energy would equal the change in ki,netic energy. This- is also the case for the airflow within the tube.\nThe relationship of static pressure and veloc- ity is maintained throughout the length of the tube. As the flow moves past the constriction toward station 3, the velocity decreases and the static pressure increases. The Bernoulli equation for incompressible flow is most readily explained ,by accounting for the energy of the~airflow within the tube. As the airstream has no energy added or sub- tracted at any point, the sum of the potential +id kinetic energy must be constant.

Flow Pattern on a Symmetrical Object\n\nsurface anflow continues to the aft stagnation point where the local velocity is again zero. The important point of this example of aero- dynamic flow is existence of the stagnation point. The change in airflow static pressure which takes place at the stagnation point IS equal to the free stream dynamic pressure, q. The measurement of free stream dynamic pressure is fundamental to the indication of airspeed. In fact, airspeed indicators are sim- ply pressure gauges which measure dynamic pressure related to various airspeeds. Typical airspeed measuring systems are illustrated in figure 1.5. The pitot head has no internal flow velocity and the pressure in the pitot tube is equal to the total pressure of the airstream. The purpose of the static-ports is to sense the true static pressure of the free airstream. The total pressure and static pressure lines are attached to a differential pressure gauge and the net pressure indicated is the dynamic\npressure, q. The pressure gauge is then cali- brated to indicate flight speed in the standard sea level air mass. For example, a dynamic pressure of 305 psf would be realized at a sea level flight ,speed of 300 knots. Actually there can be many conditions of flight where the airspeed indicator does not truly reflect the actual velocity through the air mass. The corrections that must be applied are many and lisred in sequence below: (1) The indicated airspeed (IAS) is the actual instrument indication for some given flight condition. Factors such as an altitude other than standard sea level, errors of the instrument and errors due to the installation, compressibility, etc. may create great vari- ance between this instrument indication and\nthe actual flight speed.

The instrument error must be small by design of the equip- ment and is usually negligible in equjpment which is properly maintained and cared for. The position error of the installation must be small in the range of airspeeds involving critical performance conditions. Position errors are most usually confine,d to the static source in that the actual static pressure sensed at the static port may be different from the free airstream static pressure. When the .,aircraft is operated through a large range’ of angles of attack, the static pressure distribution varies ‘quite greatly and it becomes quite difficult to’minimize the static source error. In most instances a compensating group of static sources may be combined to reduce the position error. In order to appreciate the magnitude of this problem, at flight speed near 100 knots a\n11\n0.05 psi position error is an airspeed error of 10 knots. A typical variation of air- speed system position error is illustrated in figure 1.6. (3) The equivalent airspeed (PAS) is the result of correcting the (CAS) for compressi- bility effects. At high flight speeds the stagnation pressure recovered in the pitot tube is not representative of the airstream dynamic pressure due to a magnification by compressibility. Compressibility of the airflow produces a stagnation pressure in the pitot which is greater than if the flow were incompressible. As a result, the air- speed indication is given an erroneous mag- nihcation. The standard airspeed indicator is calibrated to read correct when at standard sea level conditions and thus has a com- pressibility correction appropriate for these conditions.

Of course, the ve- locity distribution, and resulting pressure dis- tribution, is determmed by the.shape or pro- file of the surface and the angle of a’track. Thus, any aerodynamic force can be repre- sented as the product df three major factors:\nthe surface area of the objects the dynamic pressure of the airstream the coefficient or index of force determined by the relative pressure distribution This relationship is expressed by the following equation : F= C,qS where F = aerodynamic force, lbs. C,=coeflicient of aerodynamic force ,iay;mic pressure, psf\nS=surface area, sq. ft. In order to fully appreciate the importance of the aerodynamic force coe&cient, C,, the , above equation is rearranged to alternate forms :\nIn this form, the aerodynamic force coefficient Js appreciared as the aerodynamic force per surface area and dynamic pressure. In other words, the force coefficient is a dimensionless ratio between the average aerodynamic pres- sure (aerodynamic force.per ‘area) and the air- stream dynamic pressure. All the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag are studied on this basis- the common denominator in each case being surface area and dynamic pressure. By such a definition, a “lift coefficient” would .be the ratio between lift pressure and dynamic pres- sure; a “drag coefficient” would be the ratio between drag pressure and.:d.ynamic pressure. The use of the coefficient form of an aero- dynamic force is necessary since the force coellicient is: (1) An index 04 the aerodynamic force independent of area, density, and velocity.\nNAVWEPS m-60T-30 BASIC AERODYNAMICS\nIt is derived from the relative pressure and velocity distribution. (2) Influenced only by the shape of the surface and angle of attack since these factors determine the pressure distribution. (3) An index which allows evaluation of the effects of compressibility and viscosity. Since the effects of area, density, and velocity are obviated by the coefficient form, com- pressibility and viscosity effects can be separated for study. THE BASIC LIFT EQUATION. Lift has been dehned as the net force developed per- pendicular to the relative wind. The aero- dynamic force of lift on an airplane results from the generation of a pressure distribution on the wing. This lift force is described by the following equation: L=C& where L=lift, lbs. C, = lift coefficient. q= dy;:mic pressure, psf +p\nS= wing surface area, sq. ft.\nThe lift coefhcient used in this equation is the ratio of the lift pressure and dynamic pressure and is a function of the shape of the wing and angle of attack. If the lift coefficient of a conventional airplane wing planfoi-m were plotted versus angle of attack, the result would be typical of the graph of figure 1.11. Since the effects of speed, density, area, weight, alti- tude, etc., are eliminated by the coefficient form, an indication of the true lift capability is ob- tained. Each angle of attack produces a par- ticular lift coefficient since the angle of attack is the controlling factor in the pressure dis- tribution. Lift coeflicient increases with angle of attack up to the maximum lift coefficient, c L,,,~., and, as angle of attack is increased be- yond the maximum lift angle, the airflow is unable to adhere to the upper surface. The airflow then separates from the upper surface and stall occurs. JNTERPRETATION OF THE LIFT EQUA- TION.

The subtractive corrections that must be applied to CA$ depend on pressure altitude and CAS and are shown on figure 1.6 for the subsonic flight range. The equivalent airspeed (EAS) is the flight speed in the standard sea level air mass which would produce the same free stream dynamic pressure as the actual flight condition.

Since the airspeed indicator is calibrated for the dynamic pressures corresponding to airspeeds at standard sea level conditions, variations in air density must be accounted for.

These corrections are quite necessary for ac- curate determination of true airspeed and accurate navigation. Bernoulli’s principle and the concepts of static, dynamic, and total pressure are the basis of aerodynamic fundamentals.

Typical lib Characteristics\n\nNAVWEPS 00.401-80 BASIC AERODYNAMICS\nThus, a sea level airspeed (or EAS) of 100 knots would provide the dynamic pressure necessary at maximum lift to produce 14,250 Ibs. of lift. If the airplane were operated at a higher weight, a higher dynamic pressure would be required to furnish the greater lift and a higher stall speed would result. If the airplane were placed in a steep turn, the greater lift required in the turn would increase the stall speed. If the airplane were flown at a higher density altitude the TAX at stall would increase. However, one factor common to each of these conditions is that the angle of attack at C,,,, is the same. It is important to\nrealize that stall warning devices must sense angle of attack (a) or pressure distribution (related to CL). Another important fact related by the basic lift equation and lift curve is variation of angle of attack and lift coefficient with airspeed. Suppose that the example airplane is flown in steady, wing 1eveJ flight at various airspeeds with lift equal to the weight. It is obvious that an increase in airspeed above the stall speed will require a corresponding decrease in lift coeflicient and angle of attack to maintain steady, lift-equal-weight flight. The exact relationship of lift coefficient and airspeed is evolved from the basic lift equation assuming constant lift (equal to weight) and equivaIent airspeeds.\nderived from study of the basic lift equation and the typical wing lift curve. One impor- tant fact to be appreciated is that the airplane shown in figure 1.11 stalls at the same angle of attack regardless of weight, dynamic pres- sure, bank angle, etc. Of course, the stall speed of the aircraft will be affected by weight, bank angle, and other factors since the product of dynamic pressure, wing area, and lift co- efficient must produce the required lift. A rearrangement of the basic lift equation de- fines this relationship.\nL = c&Y\nusing q =$ (I’ in knots, TAX)\nsolving for V, -\nV=17.2 & J L,J\nSince the stall speed is the minimum flying speed necessary to sustain flight, the lift co- efficient must be the maximum (CL,,,,).

Standard Altitude Table\n\nNAVWEPS 00401-80 BASIC AERODYNAMICS\nthe pressure forces created on an aerodynamic surface can be studied in a simple form which at first neglects the effect of friction and vis- cosity of the airflow. The most appropriate means of visualizing the effect of airflow and the resulting aerodynamic pressures is to study the fluid flow within a closed tube.\nSuppose a stream of air is flowing through the tube shown in figure 1.2. The airflow at station 1 in the tube has a certain velocity, static pressure, and density. As the airstream approaches the constriction at station 2 certain changes must take place. Since the airflow is enclosed within the tube, the mass flow at any point along the tube must be the same and the velocity, pressure, or density must change to accommodate this continuity of flow.\nBERNOULLI’S EQUATION. A distin- guishing feature of submnic airflow is that changes in pressure and velocity take place with sniall and negligible changes in density. For this reason the study of subsonic airflow can be simplified by neglecting the variation of density in the flow and assuming the flow to be incomprmiblc. Of course, at high flow speeds whjch approach the speed of sound, the flow must be considered as compressible and “compressibility effects” taken into account. However, if the flow through the tube of figure 1.2 is considered subsonic, the density of the airstream is essentially constant at all sta- tions along the length.\nIf the density of the flow remains constant, static pressure and velocity are the variable quantities. As the flow approaches the con- striction of station 2 the velocity must increase to maintain the same mass flow. As the velocity increases the static pressure will de- crease and the decrease in static pressure which accompanies the increase in velocity can be verified in two ways:\n(I) Newton’s laws of motion state the requirement of an unbalanced force to pro- duce an acceleration (velocity change).

VISCOSITY. The viscosity of the air is important in scale and friction effects. The coefficient of absolute viscosity is the propor- tion between the shearing stress and velocity gradient for a fluid flow. The viscosity of gases is unusual in that the viscosity is gen- erally a function of temperature alone and an increase in temperature increases the viscosity. The coefficient of absolute viscosity is assigned the shorthand notation I, (mu). Since many parts of aerodynamics involve consideration of viscosity and density, a more usual form of viscosity measure is the proportion of the co- efficient of absolute viscosity and density. This combination is termed the “kinematic viscosity” and is noted by Y (nu).\nkinematic viscosity\ncc coefficient of absolute viscosity density\nv=PlP\nThe kinematic viscosity of air at standard sea level conditions is 0.0001576 square feet per second. At an altitude of 40,000 feet the kinematic viscosity is increased to 0.0005059 square foot per second. In order to provide a common denominator for comparison of various aircraft, a standard atmosphere has been adopted. The standard atmosphere actually represents the mean or average properties of the atmosphere. Figure 1.1 illustrates the variation of the most im- portant properties of the air throughout the standard atmosphere. Notice that the lapse rate is constant in the troposphere and the stratosphere begins with the isothermal region. Since all aircraft performance is compared and,evaluated in the environment of the stand- ard atmosphere, all of the aircraft instrumenta- tion is calibrated for the standard atmosphere.\nThus, certain corrections must apply to the instrumentation as well as the aircraft per- formance if the operating conditions do not fit the standard atmosphere. In order to prop- erly account for the nonstandard atmosphere certain terms must be defined. Pressure .&itudc is the altitude in the standard atmosphere corresponditrg to a particular pressure. The aircraft altimeter is essentially a sensitive barometer calibrated to indicate altitude in the staotlard atmosphere. If the altimeter is set for 29.92 in. Hg the altitude indicated is the pressure altitude-the altitude in the stand- ard atmosphere corresponding to the sensed pressure. Of course, this indicated pressure altitude may not be the actual height above sea level due to variations in remperature, lapse rate; atniospheric pressure, and possible errors in the sensed pressure. The more appropriate term for correlating aerodynamic performance in the nonstandard atmosphere is density &it&-the altitude in the standard atmosphere corresponding to a particular value of air density. The computa- tion of density altitude must certainly involve consideration of pressure (pressure altitude) and temperature. Figure 1.6 illustrates the manner in which pressure altitude and tem- perature combine to produce a certain density altitude. This chart is quite standard in use and is usually included in the performance section of the flight handbook. Many subject areas of aerodynamics and aircraft performance will emphasize density altitude and temperature as the most important factors requiring con- sideration.", + "page_start": 19, + "page_end": 21, + "source_file": "00-80T-80.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "00-80T-80.pdf", + "query": "What is the phenomenon associated with the production of lift by an airfoil ?", + "target_page": 34, + "target_passage": "An important phenomenon associated with the production of lift by an airfoil is the “circulation” parted to the airstream.

Power Effects\n\n46\nand high power, the dynamic pressure in the shaded area can be much greater than the free stream and this causes considerably greater lift than at zero thrust. At high power con- ditions the induced flow also causes an effect similar to boundary layer control and increases the maximum lift angle of attack. The typical four-engine propeller driven airplane may have 60 to 80 percent of the wing area affected by the induced flow and power effects on stall speeds may be considerable. Also, the lift of the airplane at a given angle of attack and air- speed will be greatly affected. Suppose the airplane shown is in the process of landing flare from a power-on approach. If there is a sharp, sudden reduction of power, the air- plane may drop suddenly because of the reduced lift. The typical jet aircraft does not experience the induced flow velocities encountered in propeller driven airplanes, thus the only sig- nificant factor is the vertical component of thrust. Since this vertical component con- tributes to supporting the airplane, less aero- dynamic lift is required to hold the airplane in flight. If the thrust is small and the thrust inclination is slight at maximum lift angle, only negligible changes in stall speed will re- sult. On the other hand, if the thrust is very great and is given a large inclination at maxi- mum lift angle, the effect on stall speed can be very large. One important relationship remains-since there is very little induced flow from the jet, the angle of attack at stall is essentially the same power-on or power-off.\nDEVELOPMENT OF AERODYNAMIC PITCHING MOMENTS\nThe distribution of pressure over a surface is the ,source of the aerodynamic moments as well as the aerodynamic forces. A typical example of this fact is the pressure distribution acting on the cambered airfoil of figure 1.21. The upper surface has pressures distributed which produce the upper surface lift; the lower surface has pressures distributed which pro- duce the lower surface lift. Of course, the\nNAVWEPS 00-801~0 BASIC AERODYNAMICS\nnet lift produced by the airfoil is difference between the lifts on the upper and lower sur- faces. The point along the chord where the distributed lift is effectively concentrated is termed the “center of pressure, c.p.“ The center of pressure is essentially the “center of gravity” of the distributed lift pressure and the location of the c.p. is a function of camber and section lift coe&cient Another aerodynamic reference point is the “aerodynamic center, d.e.” The aerodynamic center is defmed as the point along the chord where all changes in lift effectively take place. To visualize the existence of such a point, notice the change in pressure distribution with angle of attack for the symmetrical airfoil of figure 1.21. When at zero lift, the upper and lower surface lifts are equal and located at the same point. With an increase in angle of attack, the upper surface lift increases while the lower surface lift decreases. The change ,of lift has taken place with no change in the center of pressure-a characteristic of sym- metrical airfoils. Next, consider the cambered airfoil of figure 1.21 at zero lift. To produce zero lift, the upper and lower surface lifts must be equal. One difference noted from the symmetrical air- foil is that the upper and lower surface lifts are not opposite one another. While no net lift exists on the airfoil, the couple produced by the upper and lower surface lifts creates a nose down moment. As the angle of attack is in- creased, the upper surface lift increases while the lower surface lift decreases. While a change in lift has taken place, no change in moment takes place about the point where the lift change occurs. Since the moment about the aerodynamic center is the product of a force (lift at the c.P.) and a lever arm (distance from c.9. to a.~.), an increase in lift moves the center of pressure toward the aero- dynamic center. It should be noted that the symmetrical air- foil at zero lift has no pitching moment about the aerodynamic center because the upper and", + "page_start": 63, + "page_end": 64, + "source_file": "00-80T-80.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# AERODYNAMICS FOR NAVAL AVIATORS\n\n## TABLE OF CONTENTS\n\n### Figure 1.9.

An airfoil is capable of producing lift with relatively high efficiency and the process is illustrated in figure 1.8. If a symmetrical airfoil is placed at zero angle of attack to the airstream, the streamline pattern and pressure distribution give evidence of zero lift. HOW- ever, if the airfoil is given a positive angle of attack, changes occur in the streamline pattern and pressure distribution similar to changes caused by the addition of circulation to the cylinder. The positive angle of attack causes increased velocity on the upper surface with an increase in upper surface suction while the decreased velocity on the lower surface causes a decrease in lower surface suction. Also, upwash is generated ahead of the airfoil, the forward stagnation point moves under the leading edge, and a downwash is evident aft of the airfoil. The pressure distribution 0” the airfoil now provides a net force perpendicu- lar to the airstream-lift. The generation of lift by an airfoil is depend- ent upon the airfoil being able to create circu- lation in the airstream and develop the lifting, pressure distribution on the surface. In all cases, the generated lift will be the net force caused by the distribution of pressure over the upper and lower surfaces of the airfoil. At low angles of attack, suction pressures usually will exist on both upper and lower surfaces. but the upper surface suction must be greater for positive lift. At high angles of attack near that for maximum lift, a positive pressure will exist on the lower surface but this will account for approximately one-third the net lift.\nThe effect of free stream density and velocity is a necessary consideration when studying the development of the various aerodynamic forces. Suppose that a particular shape of airfoil is fixed at a particular angle to the airstream. The relative velocity and pressure distribution will be determined by the shape of the airfoil and the angle to the airstream. The effect of varying the airfoil size, air density and air- speed is shown in figure 1.9. If the same air- foil shape is placed at the same angle to an airstream with twice as great a dynamic pres- sure the magnitude of the pressure distribution will be twice as great but the r&rive shape of the pressure distribution will be the same. With twice as great a pressure existing over the surface, all aerodynamic forces and mo- ments will ~double. If a half-size airfoil ib placed at the same angle to the original air- stream, the magnitude of the pressure distri- bution is the same as the origina! airfoi! and again the relative shape of the pressure dis- tribution is identical. The same pressure act- ing on the half-size surface would reduce all aerodynamic forces to one-half that of the original. This similarity of flow patterns means that the stagnation point occurs at the same place, the peak suction pressure occurs at the same place, and the actual magnitude of the aerodynamic forces and moments depends upon the airstream dynamic pressure and the surface area. This concept is extremely im- portant when attempting to separate and ana- lyze the most important factors affecting the development of aerodynamic forces. AIRFOIL TERMINOLOGY. Since the shape of an airfoil and the inclination to the airstream are so important in determining the pressure distribution, it is necessary to properly define the airfoil terminology. Figure 1.10 shows a typical airfoil and illustrates the various items of airfoil terminology (1) The chord line is a straight line connect- ing the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil.", + "page_start": 36, + "page_end": 37, + "source_file": "00-80T-80.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# AERODYNAMICS FOR NAVAL AVIATORS\n\n## TABLE OF CONTENTS\n\n### Figure 4.32.

This situation creates an induced angle of attack at the root which is less than the average for the wing and a local section angle of attack higher than the average for the wing. The result is shown by the graph of figure 1.32 which depicts a local lift coefficient at the root almost 20 percent greater than the wing lift coefficient. The effect of the rectangular planform may be appreciated by matching a near elliptical lift distribution with a planform with a constant chord. The chords near ‘the tip develop less lift pressure than the root and consequently have lower section lift coe&- cients. The great nonuniformity of local lift coefficient along the span implies that some sections carry .more than their share of the load while others carry less than their share of the load.

For exampie, a rectangular wing of AR=6 would have 16 percent higher induced angle of attack for the wing and 5 percent higher induced drag than an elliptical wing of the same aspect ratio. At the other extreme of taper is the pointed wing which has a taper ratio of zero. The extremely small parcel of area at the pointed tip is not capable of holding the main tip vortex at the tip and a drastic change in down- wash distribution results. The pointed wing has greatest downwash at the root and this downwash decreases toward the tip. In the immediate vicinity of the pointed tip, an upwash is encountered which indicates that negative induced angles of attack exist in this area. The resulting variation of local lift coefficient shows low cr at the root and very high c, at the tip. This effect may be appre- ciated by realizing that the wide chords at the root produce low lift pressures while the very narrow chords toward the tip are sub-\nject to very high lift pressures..

Development of Pitching Moments\n\n48\nlower surface lifts act along the same vertical line. An increase in.lift on the symmetrical airfoil produces no change in this situation and the center of pressure remains fixed at the aero- dynamic center. The location of the aerodynamic center of an airfoil is not affected by camber, thickness, and angle of attack. In fact, two-dimensional in- compressible airfoil theory will predict the aerodynamic center at the 25 percent chord point for any airfoil regardless of camber, thickness, and angle of attack. Actual airfoils, which are subject to real fluid flow, may not have the lift due to angle of .attack concentrated at the exact 25 percent chord point. However, the actual location of the aerodynamic center for various sections is rarely forward of 23 percent or aft of 27 percent chord point. The moment about the aerodynamic center has its source in the relative pressure distribu- tion and requires application of the coefficient form of expression for proper evaluation.

The sign convention ap- plied to moment coefficients is that the nose-up moment is positive. The NACA Ooog airfoil is a symmettical sec- tion of 9 percent maximum thickness. Since the mean line of this airfoil has no camber, the coefhcient of moment about the aerody- namic center is zero, i.e., the c.p. is at the ac. The departure from zero cno.+ occurs only as the airfoil approaches maximum lift and the stall produces a moment change in the negative (nose-down) direction.

The airflow sepa- ration induced by shock wave formation can create significant variations in the aerody- namic force coefficients. When the free stream speed is greater than critical Mach number some typical effects on an airfoil section are as follows : (1) An increase in the section drag coeffi- cient for a given section lift coe5cient. (2) A decrease in section lift coefficient for a given section angle of attack. (3) A change in section pitching moment coe5cient. A reference point is usually taken by a plot of drag coe5cient versus Mach number for a constant lift coefficient. Such a graph is shown in figure 3.10. The Mach number which produces a sharp change in the drag coe5cient is termed the “force divergence” Mach number and, for most airfoils, usually exceeds the critical Mach number at least 5 to 10 percent. This condition is also referred to as the “drag divergence” or “drag rise.” PHENOMENA OF TRANSONIC FLIGHT. Associated with the “drag rise” are buffet, trim and stability changes, and a decrease in control surface effectiveness. Conventional aileron, rudder, and elevator surfaces sub jetted to this high frequency buffet may “buzz,” and changes in hinge moments may produce undesirable control forces. Of course, if the buffet is quite severe and prolonged, structural damage may occur if this operation is in violation of operating limitations.

Since the aerody- namic forces created by the airfoil sections of a wing depend upon the immediate airstream in which they operate, consideration must be given to the effect of the inclined average rela- tive wind. To create a certain lift coefficient with the airfoil section, a certain angle must exist be- tween the airfoil chord line and the avcragc relative wind. This angle of attack is a,,, the section angle of attack. However, as this lift is developed on the wing, downwash is in- curred and the average relative wind is in- clined. Thus, the wing must be given some angle attack greater than the required section angle of attack to account for the inclination of the average relative wind. Since the wing must be given this additional angle of attack because of the induced flow, the angle between the average reiative wind arid tlie remote fiCC\nstream is termed the induced angle of attack, ai.

The lift and drag of a wing must continue to be referred perpendicular and parallel to the remote free stream ahead of the wing.

The use of the coefficient form of an aero- dynamic force is necessary since the force coellicient is: (1) An index 04 the aerodynamic force independent of area, density, and velocity.\nNAVWEPS m-60T-30 BASIC AERODYNAMICS\nIt is derived from the relative pressure and velocity distribution. (2) Influenced only by the shape of the surface and angle of attack since these factors determine the pressure distribution. (3) An index which allows evaluation of the effects of compressibility and viscosity. Since the effects of area, density, and velocity are obviated by the coefficient form, com- pressibility and viscosity effects can be separated for study. THE BASIC LIFT EQUATION. Lift has been dehned as the net force developed per- pendicular to the relative wind. The aero- dynamic force of lift on an airplane results from the generation of a pressure distribution on the wing. This lift force is described by the following equation: L=C& where L=lift, lbs. C, = lift coefficient. q= dy;:mic pressure, psf +p\nS= wing surface area, sq. ft.\nThe lift coefhcient used in this equation is the ratio of the lift pressure and dynamic pressure and is a function of the shape of the wing and angle of attack. If the lift coefficient of a conventional airplane wing planfoi-m were plotted versus angle of attack, the result would be typical of the graph of figure 1.11. Since the effects of speed, density, area, weight, alti- tude, etc., are eliminated by the coefficient form, an indication of the true lift capability is ob- tained. Each angle of attack produces a par- ticular lift coefficient since the angle of attack is the controlling factor in the pressure dis- tribution. Lift coeflicient increases with angle of attack up to the maximum lift coefficient, c L,,,~., and, as angle of attack is increased be- yond the maximum lift angle, the airflow is unable to adhere to the upper surface. The airflow then separates from the upper surface and stall occurs. JNTERPRETATION OF THE LIFT EQUA- TION.

Parts (a) and (b) show the wave pattern and resulting pressure distribution for a thin flat plate at a positive angle of attack. The air- stream moving over the upper surface passes through an expansion wave at the leading edge and then an oblique shock wave at the trailing edge. Thus, a uniform suction pressure exists over the upper surface. The airstream moving underneath the flat plate passes through an oblique shock wave at the leading edge then an expansion wave at the trailing edge. This pro- duces a uniform positive pressure on the under- side of the section. This distribution of pres- sure on the surface will produce a net lift and incur a subsequent drag due co lift from the in- clination of the resultant lift from a perpen- dicular co the free stream.\nParts (c) and (d) of figure 3.8 show the wave pattern and resulting pressure distribu- tion for a double wedge airfoil at zero lift. The airstream moving over the surface passes through an oblique shock, an expansion wave, and another oblique shock. The resulting pressure distribution on the surfaces produces no net lift, but the increased pressure on the forward half of the chord along with the de- creased pressure on the aft half of the chord produces a “wave” drag. This wave drag is caused by the components of pressure forces which are parallel to the free scream direction. The wave drag is in addition to the drag due to friction, separatien, lift, etc., and can be a very considerable part of the total drag at high supersonic speeds. Parts (e) and (f) of figure 3.8 illustrate the wave pattern and resulting pressure distribu- tion for the double wedge airfoil at a small positive angle of attack. The net pressure", + "page_start": 230, + "page_end": 230, + "source_file": "00-80T-80.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# AERODYNAMICS FOR NAVAL AVIATORS\n\n## HIGH SPEED AERODYNAMICS\n\n### Figure 3.8. Typical Supersonic Flow Patterns and Distribution of Pressure\n\n214\ndistribution produces an inclined lift with drag due to lift which is in addition to the wave drag at zero lift. Part (g) of figure 3.8 shows the wave pattern for a circular arc air- foil. After the airflow traverses the oblique shock wave at the leading edge, the airflow undergoes a gradual but continual expansion until the trailing edge shock wave is en- countered. Part (h) of figure 3.8 illustrates the wave pattern on a conventional blunt nose airfoil in supersonic flow. When the nose is blunt the wave must detach and become a normal shock wave immediately ahead of the leading edge. Of course, this wave form produces an area of subsonic airflow at the leading edge with very high pressure and density behind the detached wave. The drawings of figure 3.8 illustrate the typical patterns of supersonic flow and point out these facts concerning aerodynamic surfaces in two dimensional supersonic flow: (1) All changes in velocity, pressure, density and flow direction will take place quite suddenly through the various. wave forms. The shape of the object and the required flow ,direction change dictate the type and strength of the wave formed. (2) As always, lift results from the distri- bution of pressure on a surface and is the net force perpendicular to the free stream direc- tion. Any component of the lift in a direc- tion parallel to the windstream will be drag due to lift. (3) In supersonic flight, the zero lift drag of an airfoil of some finite thickness will include a “wave drag.” The thickness of the airfoil will have an extremely powerful effect on this wave drag since the wave drag varies as the square of the thickness ratio- if the thickness is reduced 50 percent, the wave drag is reduced 73 percent. The lead- ing edges of supersonic shapes must be sharp or the wave formed at the leading edge will be a strong detached shock wave.

In addition, the U.S. EPA has established a National Priorities List of sites at which hazardous\nsubstances have been or are threatened to be released and which require investigation or cleanup.\nLiability under CERCLA is not dependent upon the intentional disposal of hazardous waste or\nhazardous substances. It can be founded upon the release or threatened release, even as a result of\nunintentional, non-negligent or lawful action, of thousands of hazardous substances, including very small\nquantities of such substances. Thus, even if our landÑlls have never knowingly received hazardous waste\nas such, it is possible that one or more hazardous substances may have been deposited or \"\"released'' at\nour landÑlls or at other properties which we currently own or operate or may have owned or operated.\nTherefore, we could be liable under CERCLA for the cost of cleaning up such hazardous substances at\nsuch sites and for damages to natural resources, even if those substances were deposited at our facilities\nbefore we acquired or operated them.

Compost is not soil - it should be mixed with soil. It is\nnot fertilizer, although it contains many slowly released nutrients.\n####### **What materials (“feedstocks”) are used to make compost?**\nCompost facilities in Washington recycle a variety of organic\nmaterials, including yard debris, food scraps, manure, biosolids,\nforest residuals like sawdust and bark, construction wood, and\nagricultural residues. All of these materials can be used to produce\nhigh quality compost. Your supplier can tell you which materials\nthey compost.\n####### **How do I know I’m getting safe, quality compost?**\nFortunately, in Washington we have strict permitting and production\nstandards for compost facilities, that include both time and\ntemperature requirements and contaminant limits.\n####### **What about weed seeds, plant diseases or pesticide residues?**\nThe controlled time, aeration, and temperature process required in\nWashington has been shown to kill weed seeds and plant diseases.\nThat same process breaks down most pesticide residues. There are\na few agricultural pesticides that are not easily broken down, and\npermitted Washington compost manufacturers carefully watch their\nfeedstocks to keep those materials out of the composting process.\n##### Compost Beginnings\nThe yard debris or food scraps* that you\nplace into your home compost bin, take to", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "CompostGuide.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ANNUAL REPORT 2004\n\n## **110 SE 6th Street, 28th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301**\n\n### **REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.**\n\n####### **Sales and Marketing**\n\napproximately 1.7 billion in-place cubic yards.

SUMMARY\nWe have proposed a scenario of the RH neutrino dark matter in the context of the minimal\ngauged U (1) B − L model. We have introduced a discrete Z 2 parity in the model, so that one\nRH neutrino assigned as Z 2 -odd can be stable and, hence, the DM candidate, while the other\ntwo RH neutrinos account for neutrino masses and mixings through the seesaw mechanism.\nNo additional degrees of freedom are necessary to be added. We have evaluated the relic\ndensity of the dark matter particle. The dominant annihilation modes are via the Higgs\nboson exchange processes in the s -channel and thus, our model can be called Higgs portal\nDM model. It has been found that the relic density consistent with the current observation\n8\ncan be achieved only when the annihilation processes are enhanced by Higgs resonances.\nTherefore, the mass of the RH neutrino DM should be around a half of Higgs boson masses.\nWe have also calculated the elastic scattering cross section between the DM particle and a\nproton and found it within the reach of future experiments for the direct DM search.", + "page_start": 7, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "1002.2525.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Higgs portal dark matter in the minimal gauged U (1) model Abstract\n\n## II.

Volumes\n\n### **7.8 Volume operations by using the CLI**\n\n#### **7.8.23 Tracing a volume from a host back to its physical disks**\n\nIn some cases, you might need to verify exactly which physical disks are used to store data of\na volume. This information is not directly available to the host; however, it might be obtained\nby using a sequence of queries.\nThe first step is to unequivocally map a logical device seen by the host to a volume that is\npresented by the storage system. The best volume characteristics for this purpose is the\nvolume ID. This ID is available to the operating system in the Vendor Specified Identifier field\nof page 0x80 or 0x83 (vital product data, VPD), which the storage device sends in response\nto SCSI INQUIRY command from the host.\nIn practice, the ID can be obtained from the multipath driver in the operating system. After the\nvolume ID is known, it can be used to identify physical location of data.\nOn hosts that are running IBM System Storage Multipath Subsystem Device Driver, you can\nobtain the volume ID from the output of the **datapath query device** command. You see a long\ndisk serial number for each vpath device, as shown in Example 7-37.\n*Example 7-37 The datapath query device command*\nDEV#: 0 DEVICE NAME: Disk1 Part0 TYPE: 2145 POLICY: OPTIMIZED\nSERIAL: 60050768018301BF2800000000000005\n============================================================================\nPath# Adapter/Hard Disk State Mode Select Errors\n0 Scsi Port2 Bus0/Disk1 Part0 OPEN NORMAL 20 0\n1 Scsi Port3 Bus0/Disk1 Part0 OPEN NORMAL 2343 0\nDEV#: 1 DEVICE NAME: Disk2 Part0 TYPE: 2145 POLICY: OPTIMIZED\nSERIAL: 60050768018301BF2800000000000004\n============================================================================\nPath# Adapter/Hard Disk State Mode Select Errors\n0 Scsi Port2 Bus0/Disk2 Part0 OPEN NORMAL 2335 0\n1 Scsi Port3 Bus0/Disk2 Part0 OPEN NORMAL 0 0\nDEV#: 2 DEVICE NAME: Disk3 Part0 TYPE: 2145 POLICY: OPTIMIZED\nSERIAL: 60050768018301BF2800000000000006\n============================================================================\nPath# Adapter/Hard Disk State Mode Select Errors\n0 Scsi Port2 Bus0/Disk3 Part0 OPEN NORMAL 2331 0\n1 Scsi Port3 Bus0/Disk3 Part0 OPEN NORMAL 0 0\n**Note:** For sequential and image mode volumes, a volume copy is mapped to exactly one\nMDisk.

The IBM Storwize V7000 guides you through this\nprocess. Complete the following steps:\n1. In the System pane that is available from the Monitoring menu, select **>** of the enclosure\nyou want to remove. The Enclosure Details pane opens. You can then click **Enclosure**\n**Actions** and select **Remove** , as shown in Figure 5-91.\n*Figure 5-91 Selecting enclosure for removal*\n2. The system asks if you want to remove the enclosure. All disk drives in the removed\nenclosure must be in the *Unused* state. Otherwise, the removal process fails (see\nFigure 5-92).\n*Figure 5-92 Confirm the removal*\nChapter 5. Graphical user interface\n3. After the enclosure is logically removed from the system (set to *unmanaged* state), the IBM\nStorwize V7000 reminds you about steps necessary for physical removal, such as power\noff, uncabling, dismantling from the rack, and secure handling (see Figure 5-93).\n*Figure 5-93 Enclosure removed*\nAs part of the enclosure removal process, consult your company security policies about how\nto handle sensitive data on removed storage devices before they leave the secure data\ncenter.

Containers are started from an Image and are usually isolated\nfrom other containers on the same machine.\n\n* Image:\nA layered Linux filesystem that contains application code, dependencies,\nand any supporting operating system libraries. An image is identified by\na name that can be local to the current cluster or point to a remote Docker\nregistry (a storage server for images).\n\n* Pods [pod]:\nA set of one or more containers that are deployed onto a Node together and\nshare a unique IP and Volumes (persistent storage). Pods also define the\nsecurity and runtime policy for each container.\n\n* Labels:\nLabels are key value pairs that can be assigned to any resource in the\nsystem for grouping and selection. Many resources use labels to identify\nsets of other resources.\n\n* Volumes:\nContainers are not persistent by default - on restart their contents are\ncleared. Volumes are mounted filesystems available to Pods and their\ncontainers which may be backed by a number of host-local or network\nattached storage endpoints. The simplest volume type is EmptyDir, which\nis a temporary directory on a single machine.

Most individuals in our study showed normal\nspirometry results but still carried a substantial\nburden of dyspnea, an inconsistency that needs\nexplanation. Several factors not included in our\nanalysis may have contributed to the unexplained\nvariation. Environmental factors (eg, air pollution,\nallergen exposure, seasonal variations in symptoms)\nare potential contributors to this unexplained variability. 22 Genetic predispositions could also play a\nsigni fi cant role, as suggested by a study that revealed\nthat parents with dyspnea were 1.8 times more likely to have offspring with dyspnea. 23 Additionally, fi tness\ncould be a contributing factor, especially in\nindividuals with undiagnosed PRISm, asthma, or\nCOPD who may restrict their activities to avoid\ndyspnea, and hence become deconditioned. 6\nThere were signi fi cant but modest differences in mean\ndyspnea levels across the 17 study sites (data not\nshown), which are not explained by the risk factors we\naccounted for in our study. This fi nding is not surprising\nbecause some of the potential contributing factors\npreviously mentioned and other site-speci fi c factors\n(eg, climate, air quality/industrialization, socioeconomic\nstatus) of the catchment population tend to vary across\nstudy sites.\nDyspnea is a complex, subjective symptom that is\nmodi fi ed by nonrespiratory factors including\npsychosocial, social, and environmental in fl uences. 5\nInterindividual variability in the perception of dyspnea,\nin fl uenced by these nonrespiratory factors, may play an\nimportant role. A study conducted by Ziegler et al 24\nassessed the perception of dyspnea in 42 healthy\nindividuals using a standardized inspiratory resistive\nloading stimulus. The study used the modi fi ed Borg\nscale to measure dyspnea perception levels. Among the\nparticipants subjected to the same inspiratory resistive\nload, 31%, 45%, and 24% of participants classi fi ed their\nlevel of dyspnea as low, intermediate, and high,\nrespectively. The study revealed that differences between\nindividuals contribute considerable variability to the\nperception of dyspnea, even among healthy participants.\nThe affective dimension of dyspnea can be captured\nusing additional questionnaires (eg, Multidimensional", + "page_start": 9, + "page_end": 9, + "source_file": "pubmed6_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Impact of Dyspnea on Adults With Respiratory Symptoms Without a De fi ned Diagnosis [ ]\n\n## Impact of Dyspnea on Adults With Respiratory Symptoms Without a De fi ned Diagnosis\n\n### Study Design and Methods\n\n#### Assessment of the Impact of Participants ’ Dyspnea\n\nAlthough neither the CAT nor the SGRQ are dyspnea-\nspeci fi c tools, both are recommended by the Global Initia-\ntive for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease to evaluate symptoms, including dyspnea, 20 and both yield a richer\nassessment of dyspnea than the modi fi ed Medical Research Council breathlessness scale. 20 Fifteen questions\nwere taken from the CAT and SGRQ questionnaires that\nreferred to individuals ’ experiences with dyspnea, and a\ncomposite measure of dyspnea impact using a weighted\nsum of the responses to the 15 questions was constructed.\nQuestions were coded so that larger values indicate more\nimpactful dyspnea. Weights used for question responses\nin calculating the dyspnea impact assessment measure\nwere those of the fi rst component of a principal compo-\nnent analysis (PCA) based on the covariance matrix of\nquestion responses. Questions with multiple responses\nand ordinal structure are individually more informative\nand thus were accorded higher weight than individual\ntrue-false questions. No additional PCA component was\nanticipated a priori to be material for our investigation,\nand an eigenvalue analysis of the PCA was conducted to\nverify this assumption.\nThe composite dyspnea impact measure was scaled so its\nminimum value was 0 if the response to each of the 15\nquestions was 0, and the maximum value was scaled to\n100 if the individual responses for all 15 questions rep-\nresented the most severe dyspnea response.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "pubmed6_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Impact of Dyspnea on Adults With Respiratory Symptoms Without a De fi ned Diagnosis [ ]\n\n## Impact of Dyspnea on Adults With Respiratory Symptoms Without a De fi ned Diagnosis\n\n### Discussion\n\nOur study explored dyspnea in community-based adults\nwith undiagnosed respiratory symptoms identi fi ed via\ncase fi nding. Surprisingly, we found that the dyspnea\nexperienced by those with PRISm had a greater impact\non their activities and health status than those with\nnewly diagnosed COPD or asthma.\nThe prevalence of individuals who were obese and\nmorbidly obese in the PRISm group partially explains\nthe between-group difference in dyspnea. The excess\ndyspnea seen in the PRISm group when compared with\nthe normal spirometry group is partly explained by\npatient-speci fi c risk factors, including BMI, which\nshrink the mean dyspnea differential between the groups\nfrom 11.2 to 5.5 points ( Tables 3-6 ). The remaining 5.5-\npoint difference indicates that PRISm patients have\nexcess dyspnea relative to symptomatic individuals with\nnormal spirometry for additional reasons other than\nobesity.\nTABLE 4 ] Sequential Regression Analyses of Risk Factors Contributing to Variability in Dyspnea: Dyspnea\nRegressed on Patient-Speci fi c Risk Factors (20.6% of Variability Explained)\nRisk Factor P Value\n| Regression Coef fi cient |\n|:---|\n| � 0.0909 8.217 0.899 1.420 � 2.149 0.144 5.123 0.00975 10.119 4.813 6.892 1.627 3.433 1.738 0.952 4.663 1.081 2.073 8.463 |\nAge .005\nFemale < .001\nBMI < .001\nHousehold income < CAD $30,000 .40\nHousehold income $ CAD $30,000 .07\nSmoking history, pack-y < .001\nSmoking exposure < .001\nOccupational exposure < .001\nCongestive heart failure .004\nCoronary artery disease .001\nDepression/anxiety < .001\nDiabetes mellitus .22\nHypertension < .001\nAnemia .15\nCancer .49\nGERD < .001\nLiver disease .61\nRenal disease .32\nStroke < .001\nBoldface indicates statitistical signi fi cance.

The type of feedstock,\nthe composting process, and any supplementary additives determine\nthe end product.\nMany facilities offer a variety of blends based on compost, such as\ngarden mix, potting soil, planting mix, mulches, turf top-dressing\nand soil blends.\n**What to Look for in Compost**\nFor most compost applications you will want a finished product that\nhas matured and stabilized. Look for material\nl with a dark, crumbly texture\nl with a mild odor\nFor most compost applications you will not want compost that is\nextremely dry or wet, or extremely hot. (Note that it is okay for\ncompost to be warm and to give off some steam and mild odor.)\n**Quality Testing at Composting Facilities**\nFeel free to ask your compost provider if they have a quality control\nprogram, and ask for test results. Compost facilities in Washington\nare permitted by the Department of Ecology and must meet\nstandards for both the composting process and contaminants,\nensuring a quality product. Some facilities also participate in the\n“Seal of Testing Assurance” (STA) testing program. See\n“Resources” on page 11 to learn more.\n####### **Remember:**\n####### **Your compost provider can help you pick the best compost mix**\n####### **for your needs.**\n##### The Composting Process\nEven though there are a variety of composting methods, most\ncomposting follows a similar process:\n**1. Grinding Organic Materials:**\nDepending on the facility, the feedstock (material) available, and\nthe desired compost product, different combinations of materials\nare added together and ground into small pieces:\n- Nitrogen-rich materials (such as grass, fresh plant\ncuttings, biosolids, and manures)\n- Carbon-rich materials (such as dried leaves, woody\nmaterials, and straw).\n**2.

Healthy soil is a miniature ecosystem.\nA teaspoon of healthy soil will have upwards of four billion\ntiny organisms which recycle nutrients, suppress disease, and\ndiscourage pests.\nl Retains moisture but allows drainage. Healthy soil has\nstructure that allows water to drain through, retains moisture,\nand promotes strong root growth.\nl Is full of organic nutrients. Plants depend on the micro-\norganisms found in healthy organic-rich soil to provide\nnutrients to their roots, and help them thrive.\nA healthy garden and landscape is naturally resistant to pests,\ndrought, weeds, and diseases. Maintaining healthy soil may allow\nyou to reduce use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.\n####### **Soil is a planting medium.

Quality\nmanufactured topsoils are a blend of native sandy sub-soils with\ncomposted organic matter to support soil life.\nAsk Your Compost Supplier\n**Whether you’re buying direct from the composting facility, or from a local**\n**vendor, here are some good questions to ask:**\n**- What ingredients go into your compost?**\n**- What compost products or blends do you sell?**\n**- Are there quality control or testing results available for these**\n**products? (These may be on the manufacturer’s website.)**\n**- Which product is best for my intended use?**\n**- What application rate do you recommend?**\n**- How much do I need for my area? (Or see pages 4-6.)**\n##### Compost Questions and Answers\n####### **What is compost?**\nCompost is a natural humus-like soil amendment that results from\nthe controlled aerobic (with oxygen) decomposition of organic\nmaterials. Compost is not soil - it should be mixed with soil. It is\nnot fertilizer, although it contains many slowly released nutrients.\n####### **What materials (“feedstocks”) are used to make compost?**\nCompost facilities in Washington recycle a variety of organic\nmaterials, including yard debris, food scraps, manure, biosolids,\nforest residuals like sawdust and bark, construction wood, and\nagricultural residues. All of these materials can be used to produce\nhigh quality compost. Your supplier can tell you which materials\nthey compost.\n####### **How do I know I’m getting safe, quality compost?**\nFortunately, in Washington we have strict permitting and production\nstandards for compost facilities, that include both time and\ntemperature requirements and contaminant limits.\n####### **What about weed seeds, plant diseases or pesticide residues?**\nThe controlled time, aeration, and temperature process required in\nWashington has been shown to kill weed seeds and plant diseases.\nThat same process breaks down most pesticide residues. There are\na few agricultural pesticides that are not easily broken down, and\npermitted Washington compost manufacturers carefully watch their\nfeedstocks to keep those materials out of the composting process.\n##### Compost Beginnings\nThe yard debris or food scraps* that you\nplace into your home compost bin, take to", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "CompostGuide.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A USER'S GUIDE TO COMPOST\n\n#### A USER'S GUIDE TO COMPOST **The Beauty of Your Lawn & Garden Blossoms from the Soil**\n\n##### How Much Compost to Use\n\npost temperatures are required to reach at least 131 degrees F in a\nspecified time period in order to destroy weed seeds and patho-\ngens. The compost is turned or aerated, allowing the composting\nmicrobes to breathe. After a period of time, the nitrogen-rich\nmaterial is depleted, the biological process slows, and the hot\ncompost begins to cool.\n**3. Finishing:**\nTypically “finished” compost has undergone a series of steps to\nensure maturity and stability. The cooling compost is aged, which\nallows the decomposition process to slow down and the finished\ncompost to stabilize.\nThe end products you purchase may be entirely compost, or a\ncombination of compost blended with uncomposted additives\n(such as peat, bark, minerals, or soil).\n##### Applications for Compost\n####### **Planting New Garden Beds or Lawns**\nSpread a 2-4 inch layer of compost and mix into the upper 6-12\ninches of existing soil: use more in sandy soils, and less in heavy clay.\nReapply 1⁄2-1 inch annually on garden beds.\n####### **Mulch (surface applications on landscape beds)**\nSpread a 1-2 inch layer of coarse, woody compost. To allow proper\nairflow, it is best not to pile mulch around the stems of trees and\nshrubs. Pull mulch 1-2 inches away from stems.\n####### **Top Dressing for Lawns**\nSpread a 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch layer of fine screened compost, and rake it into\nthe lawn. For best results, plug-aerate the lawn before top-dressing.\nOverseeding at the same time will thicken thin patches in lawns.\n####### **Blended (Manufactured) Topsoils**\nGood quality “topsoil” products usually include 10-40% compost by\nvolume, mixed with a sandy loam soil that allows good drainage.\nThese compost-soil blends help establish healthy lawns and gardens.\n**When to Use Compost?**\n- Any time you’re preparing soil for planting\n- Mulching beds and gardens in spring, summer, or fall\n- Top-dressing lawns in spring or fall.\n##### How Much Compost to Use\nl Estimate the planting area (Math Hint: Square feet = length x width)\nl Decide upon the appropriate application depth of the compost (page 4)\nl Use the charts below to estimate your compost needs.

It enhances\nsoil quality, helps save water, and supports your community’s\nefforts to recycle organic debris. All this helps to conserve our\nnatural resources and reduces the amount of material sent to the\nlandfill.\nCompost-amended soil also helps break down pollutants and\nabsorb stormwater runoff. By making nutrients slowly available\nto plants and enhancing plant health, compost can reduce the\nneed for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. All these benefits\nhelp protect our lakes, rivers, and marine waters from pollution\nand excessive runoff.\nCompost is a natural amendment for your lawn or garden, and\ncan be used regularly to enrich your soil. This guide is designed\nto help you get the most from the compost that you buy.\n##### Compost: A Natural Cycle\nComposting is a natural process in which micro-\norganisms and macro-organisms break down organic\nmaterial (leaves, twigs, grass, etc.) into a dark crum-\nbly soil amendment. Modern compost facilities use\nthe same natural biological composting process.\nTheir controlled-temperature process works faster,\nbreaks down pesticide residues, and also kills weed\nseeds and plant diseases.\nCompost improves soil structure and plant\ngrowth by\n- Replenishing soil organic matter, and storing\nnutrients in plant-available forms\n- Supporting beneficial soil life\n- Reducing erosion and water run-off\n- Loosening clay soils for better root\ndevelopment (increasing soil pore space)\n- Retaining moisture in sandy soils so\nplants need less watering.\n##### Comparing Landscape Products\nA variety of soil and landscape products are sold. Here’s a\ncomparison:\n**Compost** is stable, decomposed organic matter, excellent for\nimproving soil structure, fertility, moisture holding capacity, and\nplant growth.\n**Mulch** is any material applied to the soil surface. Woody mulches\n(high in carbon, low in nitrogen) like wood chips, bark and woody\ncomposts are great for woody plants. Annual plants should be\nmulched with nutrient-balanced mulches like compost, grass\nclippings, or leaves.\n**Peat Moss** is partially decayed sphagnum moss from peat bogs.

It enhances\nsoil quality, helps save water, and supports your community’s\nefforts to recycle organic debris. All this helps to conserve our\nnatural resources and reduces the amount of material sent to the\nlandfill.\nCompost-amended soil also helps break down pollutants and\nabsorb stormwater runoff. By making nutrients slowly available\nto plants and enhancing plant health, compost can reduce the\nneed for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. All these benefits\nhelp protect our lakes, rivers, and marine waters from pollution\nand excessive runoff.\nCompost is a natural amendment for your lawn or garden, and\ncan be used regularly to enrich your soil. This guide is designed\nto help you get the most from the compost that you buy.\n##### Compost: A Natural Cycle\nComposting is a natural process in which micro-\norganisms and macro-organisms break down organic\nmaterial (leaves, twigs, grass, etc.) into a dark crum-\nbly soil amendment. Modern compost facilities use\nthe same natural biological composting process.\nTheir controlled-temperature process works faster,\nbreaks down pesticide residues, and also kills weed\nseeds and plant diseases.\nCompost improves soil structure and plant\ngrowth by\n- Replenishing soil organic matter, and storing\nnutrients in plant-available forms\n- Supporting beneficial soil life\n- Reducing erosion and water run-off\n- Loosening clay soils for better root\ndevelopment (increasing soil pore space)\n- Retaining moisture in sandy soils so\nplants need less watering.\n##### Comparing Landscape Products\nA variety of soil and landscape products are sold. Here’s a\ncomparison:\n**Compost** is stable, decomposed organic matter, excellent for\nimproving soil structure, fertility, moisture holding capacity, and\nplant growth.\n**Mulch** is any material applied to the soil surface. Woody mulches\n(high in carbon, low in nitrogen) like wood chips, bark and woody\ncomposts are great for woody plants. Annual plants should be\nmulched with nutrient-balanced mulches like compost, grass\nclippings, or leaves.\n**Peat Moss** is partially decayed sphagnum moss from peat bogs.

Call your local collection service\nto find out what is collected in your area.\n##### Building Rich and Healthy Soil With Compost\nTo grow healthy plants you need healthy soil.\n**Healthy Soil:**\nl Is teeming with life! Healthy soil is a miniature ecosystem.\nA teaspoon of healthy soil will have upwards of four billion\ntiny organisms which recycle nutrients, suppress disease, and\ndiscourage pests.\nl Retains moisture but allows drainage. Healthy soil has\nstructure that allows water to drain through, retains moisture,\nand promotes strong root growth.\nl Is full of organic nutrients. Plants depend on the micro-\norganisms found in healthy organic-rich soil to provide\nnutrients to their roots, and help them thrive.\nA healthy garden and landscape is naturally resistant to pests,\ndrought, weeds, and diseases. Maintaining healthy soil may allow\nyou to reduce use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.\n####### **Soil is a planting medium.

The type of feedstock,\nthe composting process, and any supplementary additives determine\nthe end product.\nMany facilities offer a variety of blends based on compost, such as\ngarden mix, potting soil, planting mix, mulches, turf top-dressing\nand soil blends.\n**What to Look for in Compost**\nFor most compost applications you will want a finished product that\nhas matured and stabilized. Look for material\nl with a dark, crumbly texture\nl with a mild odor\nFor most compost applications you will not want compost that is\nextremely dry or wet, or extremely hot. (Note that it is okay for\ncompost to be warm and to give off some steam and mild odor.)\n**Quality Testing at Composting Facilities**\nFeel free to ask your compost provider if they have a quality control\nprogram, and ask for test results. Compost facilities in Washington\nare permitted by the Department of Ecology and must meet\nstandards for both the composting process and contaminants,\nensuring a quality product. Some facilities also participate in the\n“Seal of Testing Assurance” (STA) testing program. See\n“Resources” on page 11 to learn more.\n####### **Remember:**\n####### **Your compost provider can help you pick the best compost mix**\n####### **for your needs.**\n##### The Composting Process\nEven though there are a variety of composting methods, most\ncomposting follows a similar process:\n**1. Grinding Organic Materials:**\nDepending on the facility, the feedstock (material) available, and\nthe desired compost product, different combinations of materials\nare added together and ground into small pieces:\n- Nitrogen-rich materials (such as grass, fresh plant\ncuttings, biosolids, and manures)\n- Carbon-rich materials (such as dried leaves, woody\nmaterials, and straw).\n**2.

Compost is not soil - it should be mixed with soil. It is\nnot fertilizer, although it contains many slowly released nutrients.\n####### **What materials (“feedstocks”) are used to make compost?**\nCompost facilities in Washington recycle a variety of organic\nmaterials, including yard debris, food scraps, manure, biosolids,\nforest residuals like sawdust and bark, construction wood, and\nagricultural residues. All of these materials can be used to produce\nhigh quality compost. Your supplier can tell you which materials\nthey compost.\n####### **How do I know I’m getting safe, quality compost?**\nFortunately, in Washington we have strict permitting and production\nstandards for compost facilities, that include both time and\ntemperature requirements and contaminant limits.\n####### **What about weed seeds, plant diseases or pesticide residues?**\nThe controlled time, aeration, and temperature process required in\nWashington has been shown to kill weed seeds and plant diseases.\nThat same process breaks down most pesticide residues. There are\na few agricultural pesticides that are not easily broken down, and\npermitted Washington compost manufacturers carefully watch their\nfeedstocks to keep those materials out of the composting process.\n##### Compost Beginnings\nThe yard debris or food scraps* that you\nplace into your home compost bin, take to", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "CompostGuide.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A USER'S GUIDE TO COMPOST\n\n#### A USER'S GUIDE TO COMPOST **The Beauty of Your Lawn & Garden Blossoms from the Soil**\n\n####### **Compost adds organic material and nutrients to the soil,**\n####### **increases water-holding capacity and biological activity,**\n####### **and improves plant growth and health.**\n####### **Revised 2009**\nA project of the Washington Organic Recycling Council, with\nsupport from the Washington State Department of Ecology’s\nPublic Participation Grant program.\nThis product was partly funded through a grant from the\nWashington Department of Ecology.

The compost is turned or aerated, allowing the composting\nmicrobes to breathe. After a period of time, the nitrogen-rich\nmaterial is depleted, the biological process slows, and the hot\ncompost begins to cool.\n**3. Finishing:**\nTypically “finished” compost has undergone a series of steps to\nensure maturity and stability. The cooling compost is aged, which\nallows the decomposition process to slow down and the finished\ncompost to stabilize.\nThe end products you purchase may be entirely compost, or a\ncombination of compost blended with uncomposted additives\n(such as peat, bark, minerals, or soil).\n##### Applications for Compost\n####### **Planting New Garden Beds or Lawns**\nSpread a 2-4 inch layer of compost and mix into the upper 6-12\ninches of existing soil: use more in sandy soils, and less in heavy clay.\nReapply 1⁄2-1 inch annually on garden beds.\n####### **Mulch (surface applications on landscape beds)**\nSpread a 1-2 inch layer of coarse, woody compost. To allow proper\nairflow, it is best not to pile mulch around the stems of trees and\nshrubs. Pull mulch 1-2 inches away from stems.\n####### **Top Dressing for Lawns**\nSpread a 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch layer of fine screened compost, and rake it into\nthe lawn. For best results, plug-aerate the lawn before top-dressing.\nOverseeding at the same time will thicken thin patches in lawns.\n####### **Blended (Manufactured) Topsoils**\nGood quality “topsoil” products usually include 10-40% compost by\nvolume, mixed with a sandy loam soil that allows good drainage.\nThese compost-soil blends help establish healthy lawns and gardens.\n**When to Use Compost?**\n- Any time you’re preparing soil for planting\n- Mulching beds and gardens in spring, summer, or fall\n- Top-dressing lawns in spring or fall.\n##### How Much Compost to Use\nl Estimate the planting area (Math Hint: Square feet = length x width)\nl Decide upon the appropriate application depth of the compost (page 4)\nl Use the charts below to estimate your compost needs.

The inputs for DSSAT simulation include daily weather data, soil parameters, crop calendar data and man- agement information. All the inputs are formatted at a 0.5° × 0.5° grid resolution which are computed by high- performance computers. Weather data is from the AgMERRA dataset, including maximum and minimum tem- peratures, precipitation, total radiation and humidity. Crop calendar data were from the Center for Sustainability and Global Environment (SAGE), in which the existing observations of crop planting and harvesting dates are gridded formatted at a resolution of 5 ­min 50 . For management information, fertilizer applications, irrigation and other management practices are required. A crop-specific gridded dataset of nitrogen fertilizer application for the world was developed by integrating national and subnational fertilizer application data from a variety of sources, which is used to set up current fertilizer application rates for maize in each grid cell. Soil parameters are from the International Soil Profile Dataset (WISE), including soil texture, bulk density, pH, organic carbon content and fraction of calcium carbonate for each of five 20 cm thick soil ­layers 51 . All the soil data is allocated to be in accordance with the request of DSSAT simulation; the missing soil parameters for organic soils were adopted from FAO soil dataset. First maize yields across the world during the historical period 1986- 2005 were simulated at the 0.5° × 0.5° grid scale with two main production systems, including Spring maize and Summer maize. Historical national maize production is aggregated from simulated gridded yield and weighted by grid cell maize areas in 2000 from the gridded global dataset by combining two data ­products 47 . Second, genetic parameters of specific cultivars of maize from previous works were adopted for the initial parameters; model parameters related to crop genotype characteristics were calibrated and tuned following the method in Xiong et al. 52 , in which the simulated yields from 1986- 2005 were comparable to the statistical data. Third, maize yields across the world were simulated under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C. Finally, global and national maize yields were aggregated from grid- ded values; changes in national and global yields under global warming by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C were calculated, comparing maize yield average for 1986- 2005.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "pubmed9.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# EN EN\n\n## **2.

It enhances\nsoil quality, helps save water, and supports your community’s\nefforts to recycle organic debris. All this helps to conserve our\nnatural resources and reduces the amount of material sent to the\nlandfill.\nCompost-amended soil also helps break down pollutants and\nabsorb stormwater runoff. By making nutrients slowly available\nto plants and enhancing plant health, compost can reduce the\nneed for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. All these benefits\nhelp protect our lakes, rivers, and marine waters from pollution\nand excessive runoff.\nCompost is a natural amendment for your lawn or garden, and\ncan be used regularly to enrich your soil. This guide is designed\nto help you get the most from the compost that you buy.\n##### Compost: A Natural Cycle\nComposting is a natural process in which micro-\norganisms and macro-organisms break down organic\nmaterial (leaves, twigs, grass, etc.) into a dark crum-\nbly soil amendment. Modern compost facilities use\nthe same natural biological composting process.\nTheir controlled-temperature process works faster,\nbreaks down pesticide residues, and also kills weed\nseeds and plant diseases.\nCompost improves soil structure and plant\ngrowth by\n- Replenishing soil organic matter, and storing\nnutrients in plant-available forms\n- Supporting beneficial soil life\n- Reducing erosion and water run-off\n- Loosening clay soils for better root\ndevelopment (increasing soil pore space)\n- Retaining moisture in sandy soils so\nplants need less watering.\n##### Comparing Landscape Products\nA variety of soil and landscape products are sold. Here’s a\ncomparison:\n**Compost** is stable, decomposed organic matter, excellent for\nimproving soil structure, fertility, moisture holding capacity, and\nplant growth.\n**Mulch** is any material applied to the soil surface. Woody mulches\n(high in carbon, low in nitrogen) like wood chips, bark and woody\ncomposts are great for woody plants. Annual plants should be\nmulched with nutrient-balanced mulches like compost, grass\nclippings, or leaves.\n**Peat Moss** is partially decayed sphagnum moss from peat bogs.

Call your local collection service\nto find out what is collected in your area.\n##### Building Rich and Healthy Soil With Compost\nTo grow healthy plants you need healthy soil.\n**Healthy Soil:**\nl Is teeming with life! Healthy soil is a miniature ecosystem.\nA teaspoon of healthy soil will have upwards of four billion\ntiny organisms which recycle nutrients, suppress disease, and\ndiscourage pests.\nl Retains moisture but allows drainage. Healthy soil has\nstructure that allows water to drain through, retains moisture,\nand promotes strong root growth.\nl Is full of organic nutrients. Plants depend on the micro-\norganisms found in healthy organic-rich soil to provide\nnutrients to their roots, and help them thrive.\nA healthy garden and landscape is naturally resistant to pests,\ndrought, weeds, and diseases. Maintaining healthy soil may allow\nyou to reduce use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.\n####### **Soil is a planting medium. Compost is a soil amendment.**\n####### **Do not place plants directly into 100% compost.**\n####### **Ask your supplier or see next page for mixes for different uses.**\n**Washington State Encourages the Use of Compost,**\n**to Protect Our Water Quality**\nThe Washington State Department of Ecology recommends that soils\non construction sites be restored with compost before planting, and also", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 5, + "source_file": "CompostGuide.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A USER'S GUIDE TO COMPOST\n\n#### A USER'S GUIDE TO COMPOST **The Beauty of Your Lawn & Garden Blossoms from the Soil**\n\n##### How Much Compost to Use\n\npost temperatures are required to reach at least 131 degrees F in a\nspecified time period in order to destroy weed seeds and patho-\ngens. The compost is turned or aerated, allowing the composting\nmicrobes to breathe. After a period of time, the nitrogen-rich\nmaterial is depleted, the biological process slows, and the hot\ncompost begins to cool.\n**3. Finishing:**\nTypically “finished” compost has undergone a series of steps to\nensure maturity and stability. The cooling compost is aged, which\nallows the decomposition process to slow down and the finished\ncompost to stabilize.\nThe end products you purchase may be entirely compost, or a\ncombination of compost blended with uncomposted additives\n(such as peat, bark, minerals, or soil).\n##### Applications for Compost\n####### **Planting New Garden Beds or Lawns**\nSpread a 2-4 inch layer of compost and mix into the upper 6-12\ninches of existing soil: use more in sandy soils, and less in heavy clay.\nReapply 1⁄2-1 inch annually on garden beds.\n####### **Mulch (surface applications on landscape beds)**\nSpread a 1-2 inch layer of coarse, woody compost. To allow proper\nairflow, it is best not to pile mulch around the stems of trees and\nshrubs. Pull mulch 1-2 inches away from stems.\n####### **Top Dressing for Lawns**\nSpread a 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch layer of fine screened compost, and rake it into\nthe lawn. For best results, plug-aerate the lawn before top-dressing.\nOverseeding at the same time will thicken thin patches in lawns.\n####### **Blended (Manufactured) Topsoils**\nGood quality “topsoil” products usually include 10-40% compost by\nvolume, mixed with a sandy loam soil that allows good drainage.\nThese compost-soil blends help establish healthy lawns and gardens.\n**When to Use Compost?**\n- Any time you’re preparing soil for planting\n- Mulching beds and gardens in spring, summer, or fall\n- Top-dressing lawns in spring or fall.\n##### How Much Compost to Use\nl Estimate the planting area (Math Hint: Square feet = length x width)\nl Decide upon the appropriate application depth of the compost (page 4)\nl Use the charts below to estimate your compost needs.

The type of feedstock,\nthe composting process, and any supplementary additives determine\nthe end product.\nMany facilities offer a variety of blends based on compost, such as\ngarden mix, potting soil, planting mix, mulches, turf top-dressing\nand soil blends.\n**What to Look for in Compost**\nFor most compost applications you will want a finished product that\nhas matured and stabilized. Look for material\nl with a dark, crumbly texture\nl with a mild odor\nFor most compost applications you will not want compost that is\nextremely dry or wet, or extremely hot. (Note that it is okay for\ncompost to be warm and to give off some steam and mild odor.)\n**Quality Testing at Composting Facilities**\nFeel free to ask your compost provider if they have a quality control\nprogram, and ask for test results. Compost facilities in Washington\nare permitted by the Department of Ecology and must meet\nstandards for both the composting process and contaminants,\nensuring a quality product. Some facilities also participate in the\n“Seal of Testing Assurance” (STA) testing program. See\n“Resources” on page 11 to learn more.\n####### **Remember:**\n####### **Your compost provider can help you pick the best compost mix**\n####### **for your needs.**\n##### The Composting Process\nEven though there are a variety of composting methods, most\ncomposting follows a similar process:\n**1. Grinding Organic Materials:**\nDepending on the facility, the feedstock (material) available, and\nthe desired compost product, different combinations of materials\nare added together and ground into small pieces:\n- Nitrogen-rich materials (such as grass, fresh plant\ncuttings, biosolids, and manures)\n- Carbon-rich materials (such as dried leaves, woody\nmaterials, and straw).\n**2.

A long-standing goal of the machine learning\ncommunity is to identify the principles or objectives that\nmay guide such unsupervised learning in humans ( Field ,\n1994 ; Berkes and Wiskott , 2005 ; Hinton , 1989 ). One\nrelated hypothesis is based on the *predictive feature*\n*principle* ( Rao and Ballard , 1999 ), which posits that\nrepresentations of temporally adjacent sensory stimuli\nshould be predictive of each other.\nIn this work, we revisit feature prediction as a stand-\nalone objective for unsupervised learning of visual repre-\nsentations from video.

For instance,\nVideoBERT ( Sun et al. , 2019 ; Xu et al. , 2021 ) trains a video encoder to predict masked spans in the textual closed\ncaptions. Similarly, VideoCLIP ( Xu et al. , 2021 ) trains a video encoder to predict the representation of video\ncaptions computed by a text encoder. Follow-up work such as MERLOT ( Zellers et al. , 2022 ), VATT ( Akbari et al. ,\n2021 ), and InternVideo ( Wang et al. , 2022 ) extended VideoCLIP by incorporating additional unsupervised objectives.\n**Self-Supervised Learning from Videos**\nSimilar to unsupervised learning from images, a family of unsupervised video representation learning approaches\nenforces a spatio-temporal representation of a video clip to be invariant to hand-crafted spatio-temporal data\naugmentations ( Parthasarathy et al. , 2022 ). However, one obvious insight is that the temporal ordering of visual\ninformation in video can provide implicit supervision. Indeed, this insight is the key insight leveraged by many works\non unsupervised video learning. Towards leveraging temporal information as supervision, some approaches train a\nvisual encoder by predicting the temporal ordering of frames ( Xu et al. , 2019 ; Lee et al. , 2017 ). Other approaches\nseek to predict low-level motion vectors computed from optical flow ( Pintea et al. , 2014 ), or to predict mixing pixels\nin video frames, using either a frame-interpolation objective ( Kalluri et al. , 2023 ) or a denoising autoencoder ( Tong\net al. , 2022 ; Feichtenhofer et al. , 2022 ; Wang et al. , 2023a ).", + "page_start": 14, + "page_end": 14, + "source_file": "arxiv3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Revisiting Feature Prediction for Learning Visual Representations from Video 1 Introduction\n\n## **4 What Matters for Learning Represen-**\n\n### **4.3 Evaluation: Attentive Probing**\n\nNext we explore the feature pooling strategy for apply-\ning the model’s representations in downstream tasks.\nSince the prediction objective in equation ( 1 ) is unnor-\nmalized, there is no a priori reason for the encoder to\nyield a linearly separable subspace ( Chen et al. , 2020 ).\nThus, rather than using a linear operation (averaging)\nto pool the features output of the frozen backbone, we\nexplore a learnable non-linear pooling strategy.

Typically, IAM\nroles correspond to a job function.\nA loose analogy for IAM roles are that of professional uniforms: a surgeon's scrubs, a firefighter's\nhardhat, or a startup CTO's favorite hoodie. Many people can *assume the role* of a surgeon,\nfirefighter, and startup CTO, which identifies them with a certain job function.\nOne of the most useful things about IAM roles is they can be associated not only with human\nentities, but also with AWS services. These types of roles are known as *service roles* . This means you\ncan assign an IAM role directly to a service. With an IAM role assigned to the service instance, you\ncan then associate specific IAM policies with the instance role, so that the service instance itself can\naccess other AWS services. This is extremely useful for automation.\n##### **Authorization - PARC**\nSo far we've been talking about principals. Principals represent the **authentication** component.

The facility runs\nas a started task in its own address space. A control statement file is used to provide\n**ARSYSPIN** parameters. These parameters specify JES Spool file selection criteria (for\nexample, the sysout class that is taken for Capture output) and other operational\ncharacteristics.\n**ARSYSPIN** creates an intermediate output file that contains one or more spool files from one or\nmore jobs. The intermediate output file is indexed and stored in Content Manager OnDemand\nby using the **ARSLOAD** program. **ARSYSPIN** invokes **ARSLOAD** when sufficient data is captured in\nthe intermediate output file. **ARSLOAD** calls the indexer program ( **APKACIF** ) to extract the index\nvalues from the data and store them in an index file. **ARSLOAD** adds these index values to the\ndatabase and stores the data object. If you want, you can use **ARSYSPIN** exits to augment the\ndata stream.\nIn particular, the **ARSYSPIN** Input Exit (UX03) and Separator Exit (UX06) provide substantially\nmore information about the job that produced the spool file that is being processed than what\nis available at the time when **APKACIF** (or another indexer program) is driven by Content\nManager OnDemand.

To control for the\npossible confounding variable of compute budget, we\npretrain all models in Table 2 for 90K iterations using\na batch-size of 3072. We report downstream results on\nK400, SSv2, and IN1K using a frozen backbone with an\nattentive probe, and report top-1 accuracy using a single\ncenter view.\nTable 2 shows that average performance across tasks\nmonotonically increases as we increase the size of the\npretraining dataset, but the best task-specific perfor-\nmance is obtained by independently selecting the pre-\ntraining data for each specific downstream task. For\ninstance, the L/16 obtains its best SSv2 performance\nwhen pretrained on K710+SSv2, its best K400 perfor-\nmance when pretrained only on K710, and its best IN1K\nperformance when pretrained only on K710+HT. The\nbest average performance across all tasks is achieved by\npretraining VideoMix2M, which combines all the data\nsources. Similarly, the H/16 pretrained on K710+SSv2\nachieves a greater K400 score than the H/16 pretrained\non VideoMix2M, however, the top performing H/16 on\naverage is pretrained on VideoMix2M.", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 5, + "source_file": "arxiv3.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "PLAW-116publ30.pdf", + "query": "What is appropriate authority ?", + "target_page": 1, + "target_passage": "APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY.—The term ‘appropriate authority’ means the head of a Federal agency, the Architect of the Capitol, or other official authority responsible for the operation of a public building.

Administration**\n\n### **3.2 User and group administration**\n\nWhen you design a Content Manager OnDemand system, you must determine the best way\nto implement the many authority structures that are available for users and administrators of\nyour system. The span of control for the administration of the system must be considered with\nthe level of user access to the data that is stored in the system. How many different\nadministrators are required? Will all administrators have system administrator authority or will\ndifferent administrators have different levels of authority? What is the most effective way to\nrestrict a user’s access to only the data that is necessary to do that user’s job?\nThe answers to these questions depend on the size of the system, the degree of\ncentralization to be exercised over system administration, and the nature of the data and the\nbusiness needs of the users.\n**Centralized or decentralized**\nIn a system design that exercises centralized control, one or a few administrators are granted\nsystem administrator authority. A centralized system typically is used when the number of\nreports and users to be added to the system is small. Centralized administration is also\nappropriate where resources are limited and only one person might have the skills and\nknowledge to perform the system administration tasks, or where one user group performs all\nof the administration tasks.\nIn a system design with decentralized control, different users are granted different levels of\nadministrative authority. For example, you might have users that have the authority to create\nusers and groups.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which took effect on March 12, 2000, dismantled\nmany Depression-era restrictions against affiliation between banking, securities and insurance firms by permitting\nbank holding companies to engage in a broader range of financial activities, so long as certain safeguards are\nobserved. Specifically, bank holding companies may elect to become “financial holding companies” that may\naffiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature or\n4\nincidental to a financial activity. Thus, with the enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, banks, securities firms\nand insurance companies find it easier to acquire or affiliate with each other and cross-sell financial products. The\nact permits a single financial services organization to offer a more complete array of financial products and services\nthan historically was permitted.\nA financial holding company is essentially a bank holding company with significantly expanded powers. Under\nthe Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, among the activities that will be deemed “financial in nature” for financial holding\ncompanies are, in addition to traditional lending activities, securities underwriting, dealing in or making a market in\nsecurities, sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies, insurance underwriting and agency activities,\nactivities which the Federal Reserve Board determines to be closely related to banking, and certain merchant\nbanking activities. The Federal Reserve Board has proposed permitting a number of additional financial activities,\nbut we cannot predict whether any of these additional proposals will be adopted or the form any final rule will take.\nWe elected to become a financial holding company in September 2001. As a financial holding company, we\nhave very broad discretion to affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies, make merchant banking\ninvestments, and engage in other activities that the Federal Reserve Board has deemed financial in nature. In order\nto continue as a financial holding company, we must continue to be well-capitalized, well-managed and maintain\ncompliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. Depending on the types of financial activities that we may\nengage in in the future, under Gramm-Leach-Bliley’s fractional regulation principles, we may become subject to\nsupervision by additional government agencies. The election to be treated as a financial holding company increases\nour ability to offer financial products and services that historically we were either unable to provide or were only\nable to provide on a limited basis.

All OAM API functions are requested through\nthe OSREQ assembler macro. Applications use this interface to store, retrieve, query, and\ndelete objects, and to change information about objects. OSR stores the objects in the\nstorage hierarchy and maintains the information about these objects in DB2 databases.\nOSR functions that start through the API require the OAM Thread Isolation Support (OTIS)\napplication for administrative processing.\n� Library Control System (LCS) component\nThis component writes and reads objects on tape and optical disk storage. It also\nmanipulates the volumes on which the objects are stored. The LCS component controls\nthe usage of optical hardware resources that are attached to the system.\n� OAM Storage Management Component (OSMC)\nThis component determines where to store objects in the OAM storage hierarchy. It\nmanages object movement within the object storage hierarchy and manages expiration\nattributes that are based on the installation storage management policy that is defined\nthrough the storage management subsystem (SMS). OSMC also creates the requested\nbackup copies of the objects and provides object and volume recovery functions.\n**SMS terminology**\nTo provide a better understanding of OAM, we explain SMS terms in the following sections.\n* **SMS storage class** *\nA *storage class* is a collection of performance goals and availability and accessibility\nrequirements that are defined to SMS. It is used to select a device to meet those goals and\nrequirements.\nUsually, three storage classes are set up for OAM where the storage administrator sets the\nnames of the storage classes based on the naming convention in the enterprise. The three\nOAM storage classes to set up are listed:\n� OAMDASD: Objects are stored in a DB2 table on fast magnetic disk.\n� OAMTAPE: Objects are stored on magnetic tape, including tape robots.\n� OAMOPTIC: Objects are stored on a 3995 optical device.\n* **SMS storage group** *\nAn SMS *storage group* is a collection of storage volumes and attributes that are defined by", + "page_start": 132, + "page_end": 132, + "source_file": "sg246915.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Microsoft 365 PDF Accessibility Extending Office PDF Export Office 2024 Excel PowerPoint Word\n\n## Office 2024 PDF Accessibility Improvements\n\nAs an example, consider a document that contains alternate text.

Programs comprise various initiatives that focus on (1) building the technological and operating platform that enables the Foundation to function sustainably as a top global internet organization, (2) strengthening, growing, and increasing diversity of the Wikimedia communities, and (3) accelerating impact by investing in key geographic areas, mobile application development, and bottom-up innovation, all of which support Wikipedia and other wiki-based projects. This also includes costs related to the Wikimedia Endowment for which the Foundation is reimbursed. The allocation between programs, general and administrative, and fundraising expenses is based on personnel and related costs and other operating expenses such as rent and office expenses using estimates of time spent or percentage of utilization by headcounts, as well as\ndirect costs incurred for the relevant activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs benefited and supporting services for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as follows:\n**2024**\n**General and**\n**Programs administrative Fundraising Total**\nSalaries and benefits $ 83,645,901 14,018,534 9,129,525 106,793,960\nAwards and grants 26,820,080 — — 26,820,080\nInternet hosting 3,116,257 188 — 3,116,445\nIn-kind service expenses 228,338 35,138 — 263,476\nDonation processing expenses — — 7,547,718 7,547,718\nProfessional service expenses 9,670,261 1,870,513 1,549,266 13,090,040\nOther operating expenses 6,420,517 3,808,725 568,898 10,798,140\nTravel and conferences 4,979,409 536,887 308,683 5,824,979\nDepreciation and amortization 3,471,509 744,762 — 4,216,271\n$ 138,352,272 21,014,747 19,104,090 178,471,109\n\n**2023**\n**General and**\n**Programs administrative Fundraising Total**\nSalaries and wages $ 77,845,272 14,486,209 8,974,225 101,305,706\nAwards and grants 24,426,682 7,000 — 24,433,682\nInternet hosting 3,119,234 1,585 — 3,120,819\nIn-kind service expenses 998,857 41,596 — 1,040,453\nDonation processing expenses — — 6,855,680 6,855,680\nProfessional service expenses 11,785,153 2,297,431 1,382,051 15,464,635\nOther operating expenses 2,752,153 4,102,006 539,823 7,393,982\nTravel and conferences 3,799,260 530,517 548,583 4,878,360\nDepreciation and amortization 3,837,307 764,757 — 4,602,064\n$ 128,563,918 22,231,101 18,300,362 169,095,381\n\nThe Foundation has a program of awarding grants to support chapters, affiliates, user groups, and individuals in projects that further the mission of the Foundation.

(the Foundation) and Wikimedia, LLC.\nThe Foundation is the nonprofit organization that operates Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia. Based in San Francisco, California, the Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity that is funded primarily through donations and contributions.\nThe Foundation also operates Wikimedia, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, with the Foundation as its Sole Member. The Wikimedia, LLC is organized and operated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes within the meaning of section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is a disregarded entity for tax purposes.\n* **(b) Risks and Uncertainties** *\nThe Foundation’s operations are funded primarily by public donations from individuals as well as gifts from foundations and corporations. External factors such as global geopolitics, recession, and currency markets may impact our ability to raise funds. As of the date of this report, the Foundation has not experienced an adverse impact on its business operations.\n* **(c) Income Taxes** *\nThe Foundation is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state income tax under Chapter 220.13 of the Florida Statutes and Sections 23701d of Revenue and Taxation Code of the State of California. The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Foundation is not a private foundation and contributions to it qualify as charitable contributions.", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 7, + "source_file": "Wikimedia_Foundation_2024_Audited_Financial_Statements.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION, INC.

The amount included within awards and grants was $6.1 million and $4.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.\n* **(p) Use of Estimates** *\nThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the investment valuations, useful lives of fixed assets, and the valuation of contributed services. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.\n* **(q) Reclassifications** *\nCertain reclassifications have been made in the financial statements to conform 2023 information to the 2024 presentation. The Foundation had a change in accounting policy to present unrealized gains and losses on investments separately from investment income, net. This resulted in a reclassification of $3,547,510 from investment income, net to unrealized gains on investments within the statement of activities. The Foundation also had a change in accounting policy to no longer present the Wikimania event as special event expense, net in the statement of activities. Revenue from registration sales is now reported within other income, net, and expenses are reported within travel and conference expenses. This resulted in a reclassification of $698,141 from special event expenses to travel and conference expenses in the statement of activities.\n**(2) Contributions Receivable**\nAs of June 30, 2024 and 2023, contributions receivable is $1,571,657 and $0, respectively, and represents contributions receivable from two grants, as well as contributions receivable from payment processors.\n**(3) Fair Value of Investments**\nThe following tables present the fair value of investments based on hierarchical level as of June 30, 2024 and 2023:\n**Fair value measurements at reporting date using Quoted prices Significant in active other markets for observable identical assets inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) June 30, 2024**\nShort-term investments: Corporate bonds $ — 66,776,386 66,776,386 Mortgage-backed securities — 5,561,381 5,561,381 U.S. Treasury securities — 43,736,995 43,736,995\nTotal $ — 116,074,762 116,074,762\nLong-term investments: Corporate bonds $ — 14,854,407 14,854,407 Stocks 42,009,652 — 42,009,652 Mortgage-backed securities — 5,213,826 5,213,826 U.S. Treasury securities — 5,213,339 5,213,339\nTotal $ 42,009,652 25,281,572 67,291,224\n\n**Fair value measurements at reporting date using Quoted prices Significant in active other markets for observable identical assets inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) June 30, 2023**", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 14, + "source_file": "Wikimedia_Foundation_2024_Audited_Financial_Statements.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION, INC.

The Foundation does not have control or controlling financial interest in the Wikimedia Endowment and the Wikimedia Endowment has a separate Board of Directors, but the Wikimedia Endowment is considered a related party to the Foundation because Wikimedia Endowment management is also management at the Foundation.\nDuring the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Foundation recognized revenue of $2,063,195 related to services provided to the Wikimedia Endowment, primarily for fundraising and general and administrative support under the terms of a cost sharing agreement. These costs are included within the Foundation's expenses based on the nature of the cost.

The Foundation transferred $10,706,812 donor-designated gifts and $624,137 Foundation gifts to the Wikimedia Endowment during the year ended June 30, 2024.

During the year ended June 30, 2024, there were 47,773 commits merged, through the efforts of approximately 511 authors/contributors, of which 8,161 commits were through the efforts of approximately 244 volunteers.\n**(7) Operating Leases**\nOur operating lease relates to the Foundation’s headquarters in San Francisco and has a non-cancelable remaining term of 3 months as of June 30, 2024. The discount rate is 2.9%, the risk-free rate based on daily U.S. Treasury with a term comparable to the lease term. The lease provides the Foundation the option to extend the lease term for one additional period of five years. The Foundation determined during the year ended June 30, 2024 not to renew the lease.

This resulted in a reclassification of $3,547,510 from investment income, net to unrealized gains on investments within the statement of activities. The Foundation also had a change in accounting policy to no longer present the Wikimania event as special event expense, net in the statement of activities.

The Foundation is subject to income taxes on any net income that is derived from a trade or business, regularly carried on, and not in furtherance of the purposes for which it was granted exemption. Net income from any unrelated trade or business, in the opinion of management, is not material to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.\n* **(d) Financial Statement Presentation** *\nNet assets, support and revenue, expenses, gains, and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 958, *Not-for-Profit Entities* .\nNet assets without donor restrictions represent unrestricted resources available to support operations and also include previously temporarily restricted resources, which have become available for use by the Foundation in accordance with the intentions of donors.\nNet assets with donor restrictions represent contributions that are limited in use by the Foundation in accordance with donor-imposed stipulations. The stipulations may expire with time or may be satisfied and removed by the actions of the Foundation according to the terms of the contribution by the donor.\n7\nOnce such stipulations are satisfied, the associated net assets are released from net assets with donor restrictions and recognized as net assets without donor restrictions.\nContributions received are recorded as net assets without donor restriction or net assets with donor restrictions depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions.\n* **(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents** *\nThe Foundation manages its cash through major financial institutions. At June 30, 2024 and 2023, the carrying amount of the Foundation’s general ledger cash held primarily in nationally recognized financial institutions is $60.0 million and $63.9 million, respectively. Cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to the applicable limits. Cash balances held in these financial institutions at June 30, 2024 and 2023 exceed the applicable FDIC insurance limits. The Foundation’s current practice is to maintain at least four months of cash and cash equivalents to support a combination of operating cash and a current reserve fund. The Foundation considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Contributed services are reported as contributions of nonfinancial assets and services revenue and in-kind service expenses in the consolidated statements of activities. Fair value is estimated based on current local rates for similar services.\nA substantial number of volunteers make significant contributions of their time in the furtherance of the Foundation’s projects. The value of this contributed time is not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as the criteria above are not met.\nContributed service revenue and expenses recorded in the consolidated statements of activities consist of contributed legal services, engineering services, subscription services, and internet hosting services and bandwidth. The amounts of specialized contributed legal services as revenue and expenses are $82,638 and $493,315 for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The value of specialized engineering services as revenue and expenses are $0 and $498,800 for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The value of donated subscription services as revenue and expenses was $124,738 and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The amounts of contributed internet hosting services and bandwidth for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is $56,100 and $48,338, respectively. Included in the 2024 and 2023 amounts are donated hosting services and bandwidth from the following companies: (1) FiberRing, (2) Tele2, (3) Datahop, (4) LibertyGlobal, (5) Init7, and (6) Arelion.\n* **(m) Revenue Recognition - Contracts With Customers** *\nThe Foundation recognizes revenue from contracts with customers related to Wikimedia, LLC under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which establishes a principle that revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Foundation expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.\nThe Foundation determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through the application of the following 5-step process: 1) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; 2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determination of the transaction price; 4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognition of revenue when or as the Foundation satisfies the performance obligations.", + "page_start": 10, + "page_end": 10, + "source_file": "Wikimedia_Foundation_2024_Audited_Financial_Statements.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION, INC.

As of June 30, 2024, neither letter of credit has been used.\n* **(g) Contributions Receivable** *\nContributions receivable represent gift amounts due from various entities, which are occasionally directed at specific activities. Contributions receivable due more than one year from the contribution date are discounted to present value using a fair value rate based on the U.S. Treasury bond rate and reflect the risks inherent in these cash flows. Contributions receivable are subject to review and adjustment by management should amounts be deemed uncollectible.\n* **(h) Investments** *\nThe Foundation’s policy regarding investments is to invest cash in short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term fixed income, and equity instruments without assuming material undue risk to principal. Preservation of principal and maintenance of liquidity are priorities over yield. Investments are reported at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses, and accrued interest included as a component of the change in net assets. Additionally, the Foundation holds no shares of donated stock as of June 30, 2024 or 2023, consistent with its policy to sell stock received through donations as soon as possible.\nThe Foundation presents its investment portfolios as short-term and long-term based on expectations of the holding period of the investment in line with the investment guidelines stipulated in the investment policy.\nASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted\n8\nprices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).\nThe three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:\n- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Foundation has the ability to access at the measurement date. The Foundation’s Level 1 assets are investments in marketable securities, including stocks and mutual funds.\n- Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. The Foundation’s Level 2 assets are investments in corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. Treasury securities.\n- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs from investments. Level 3 inputs incorporate assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing the instrument.\n* **(i) Property and Equipment, Net** *", + "page_start": 8, + "page_end": 9, + "source_file": "Wikimedia_Foundation_2024_Audited_Financial_Statements.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION, INC.

Wikipedia is available in more than 332 languages and contains more than 63 million articles contributed by a global volunteer community.\n- For the year ended June 30, 2024, the educational content of the Foundation’s largest project, Wikipedia, grew by approximately 1.9 million articles to approximately 63.4 million articles.\n- For the year ended June 30, 2024, volunteers added approximately 12.2 million images, movies, and sound files to the Foundation’s multimedia repository, making the total 106.7 million files.\n- Volunteers also contribute in several ways to the Foundation’s wiki software: volunteer software developers add new functionality to the code base, and volunteer language specialists add to the code base by translating the wiki interface into different languages. During the year ended June 30, 2024, there were 47,773 commits merged, through the efforts of approximately 511 authors/contributors, of which 8,161 commits were through the efforts of approximately 244 volunteers.\n**(7) Operating Leases**\nOur operating lease relates to the Foundation’s headquarters in San Francisco and has a non-cancelable remaining term of 3 months as of June 30, 2024. The discount rate is 2.9%, the risk-free rate based on daily U.S. Treasury with a term comparable to the lease term. The lease provides the Foundation the option to extend the lease term for one additional period of five years. The Foundation determined during the year ended June 30, 2024 not to renew the lease. Operating lease expense was $1,859,383 and $1,489,134 for the year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.\nUndiscounted lease payments as of June 30, 2024 were as follows:\n**Lease**\n**payments**\nYear ending June 30:\n2025 419,791\nTotal minimum lease payments $ 419,791\n\n**(8) Retirement Plan**\nThe Foundation offers a 401(k) plan (the Plan) to all of its employees residing in the United States. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan upon employment. The Foundation matches employee contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to 4% of the employee’s compensation. The Foundation contributed $1,859,839 and $1,859,012 to the Plan for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.\n**(9) Liquidity and Availability of Financial Assets**\nThe Foundation’s financial assets available for general expenditure within one year of the balance sheet date, June 30, 2024 and 2023, are as follows:", + "page_start": 17, + "page_end": 18, + "source_file": "Wikimedia_Foundation_2024_Audited_Financial_Statements.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION, INC.

The amount included within awards and grants was $6.1 million and $4.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.\n* **(p) Use of Estimates** *\nThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the investment valuations, useful lives of fixed assets, and the valuation of contributed services. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.\n* **(q) Reclassifications** *\nCertain reclassifications have been made in the financial statements to conform 2023 information to the 2024 presentation. The Foundation had a change in accounting policy to present unrealized gains and losses on investments separately from investment income, net. This resulted in a reclassification of $3,547,510 from investment income, net to unrealized gains on investments within the statement of activities. The Foundation also had a change in accounting policy to no longer present the Wikimania event as special event expense, net in the statement of activities. Revenue from registration sales is now reported within other income, net, and expenses are reported within travel and conference expenses. This resulted in a reclassification of $698,141 from special event expenses to travel and conference expenses in the statement of activities.\n**(2) Contributions Receivable**\nAs of June 30, 2024 and 2023, contributions receivable is $1,571,657 and $0, respectively, and represents contributions receivable from two grants, as well as contributions receivable from payment processors.\n**(3) Fair Value of Investments**\nThe following tables present the fair value of investments based on hierarchical level as of June 30, 2024 and 2023:\n**Fair value measurements at reporting date using Quoted prices Significant in active other markets for observable identical assets inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) June 30, 2024**\nShort-term investments: Corporate bonds $ — 66,776,386 66,776,386 Mortgage-backed securities — 5,561,381 5,561,381 U.S. Treasury securities — 43,736,995 43,736,995\nTotal $ — 116,074,762 116,074,762\nLong-term investments: Corporate bonds $ — 14,854,407 14,854,407 Stocks 42,009,652 — 42,009,652 Mortgage-backed securities — 5,213,826 5,213,826 U.S. Treasury securities — 5,213,339 5,213,339\nTotal $ 42,009,652 25,281,572 67,291,224\n\n**Fair value measurements at reporting date using Quoted prices Significant in active other markets for observable identical assets inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) June 30, 2023**", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 14, + "source_file": "Wikimedia_Foundation_2024_Audited_Financial_Statements.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "uksi_20200471_en.pdf", + "query": "What is the price of the The Special Educational Needs and Disability (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 ?", + "target_page": 8, + "target_passage": "£6.90", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": true, + "index": 8 + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "# 2020 No. 471 EDUCATION, ENGLAND The Special Educational Needs and Disability (Coronavirus) (Amendm[...]\n\n## *Laid before Parliament* *30th April* *2020*\n\n### **Citation and commencement**\n**1.** These Regulations may be cited as the Special Educational Needs and Disability\n(Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 and come into force on 1st May 2020.", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "uksi_20200471_en.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# 2020 No. 471 EDUCATION, ENGLAND The Special Educational Needs and Disability (Coronavirus) (Amendm[...]\n\n## *Laid before Parliament* *30th April* *2020*\n\n### **Amendment of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014**\n\n**3.** The Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014( **c** ) are amended as follows.\n**4.** In regulation 2(1) (interpretation), at the appropriate place insert—\n““coronavirus” means severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2);\n”.\n**5.** After regulation 2 (interpretation) insert—\n“ **Relaxation of time periods due to coronavirus exception**\n**2A.** —(1) Where the coronavirus exception applies, any requirement in any of the\nregulations specified in paragraph (3) for action to be taken within a specified period of\n\n( **a** ) 2014 c.6.

Real impact of data manipulation or misunderstanding**\n\nItaly, the data were being used to *\"come to conclusions without any basis at all\"* , both by the press,\nto sell more, and by local politicians trying to hide the lack of preventive measures, like enforcing\nanti seismic construction codes.\nStill in Italy, Daniele Belleri runs a Milan crime mapping blog called [\"Il giro della Nera\"](http://ilgirodellanera.wordpress.com/) , making a\nbig effort to explain to his readers the limits of the maps he publishes, and the potential for\nmisunderstanding if they are used without preparation, or with wrong expectations. This is a\nsynthesis of Belleri's explanation, also covered in [other websites](http://antonella.beccaria.org/2011/01/24/il-giro-della-nera-il-crime-mapping-in-italia-tra-utilita-e-strumento-da-analizzare-con-attenzione/) , that is applicable to any map-\nbased PSI analysis and presentation, not just to crime mapping:\nIn general, a map is just a map, not reality. It doesn't always and necessarily provide\nscientific evidence. Crime maps, for example, are NOT safety maps, as most citizens\nwould, more or less consciously, like them to be: a tool that tells them where to buy a\nhouse their according to the level of criminality in the district.\nWhen used in that way, crime maps can give unprepared users two false impressions:\nthe first, obvious one, is that certain areas are only criminal spaces, exclusively\ninhabited by criminals. The other is to encourage a purely egoistic vision of the city,\nwhere the need for safety becomes paranoia and intolerance and all that matters is to be\ninside some gated community. This doesn't lower crime levels at all: the only result is to\nincrease urban segregation.\nTo make things worse, crime data not analyzed and explained properly don't just contribute to\nstrengthen egoistic attitudes and lock the urban areas that are actually the most plagued by crime\ninto their current difficult state indefinitely. Sometimes, they may even perpetuate beliefs that are,\nat least in part, simply false. Of course, when those beliefs not grounded in facts already existed,\nopen crime data can help, by finding and proving the gaps between perception of criminality and\nreality. Belleri, for example, [notes](http://ilgirodellanera.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/mappe-del-crimine-istruzioni-per-luso/) that residents of Milan consider the outskirts of their city more\ndangerous than downtown Milan, while Londoners think the opposite about London... but in both\ncities the truth emerging from data is exactly the opposite (at least for certain categories of crime) of\nwhat their residents believe.", + "page_start": 17, + "page_end": 18, + "source_file": "Open_Data_Report.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "## M A T C H\n\n##### A N A NT I DOT E\n##### T O T H E\n##### OR DI NA R Y\nFunctional and timeless yet durable to the\ncore.

Here, we contextualize these and related paradoxical**\n**behavior within an active inference view of brain functions, which assumes that the brain forms predictive models of bodily variables,**\n**emotional experiences, and the embodied self and continuously strives to reduce the uncertainty of such models. We propose that not**\n**only in conditions of excessive or prolonged uncertainty, such as in clinical conditions, but also during pivotal periods of developmental**\n**transition, paradoxical behaviors might emerge as maladaptive strategies to reduce uncertainty—by “acting on the body”— soliciting**\n**salient perceptual and interoceptive sensations, such as pain or excessive levels of hunger. Although such strategies are maladaptive**\n**and run against our basic homeostatic imperatives, they might be functional not only to provide some short-term reward (e.g. relief**\n**from emotional distress)—as previously proposed—but also to reduce uncertainty and possibly to restore a coherent model of one’s**\n**bodily experience and the self, affording greater confidence in who we are and what course of actions we should pursue.**\nKeywords: non-suicidal self-injuries; intolerance of uncertainty; interoception; adolescence; active inference\n© The Author(s) 2023.

It may be only the uncertainty at deep hierarchical\nlevels (e.g. at the level of self-models) that promotes paradoxi-\ncal behaviors. Alternatively, it could be possible that it is not so\nmuch the kind of uncertainty that matters but somewhat its asso-\nciated distress, which in turn could be amplified by conditions\nlike the intolerance of uncertainty. While these and alternative\nhypotheses remain to be tested in future research, they might in\nthe future lead to novel tailored interventions. Current reviews of NSSI interventions (see, e.g. Turner et al. 2014 , Witt et al. 2021 ) out-\nline the various treatments currently available (e.g. psychological\nand psychosocial interventions, pharmacological treatments, and\na combination of both), but underline the need for further data\non their effectiveness. The use of formal models of brain function to characterize the mechanisms of psychopathology ( Friston et al.\n2014 , Stephan and Mathys 2014 ) might help conceptualize dys-\nfunctional behaviors in operationalizable terms. In this vein, one\nmight delineate interventions aimed at reducing the uncertainty\nof self-models by starting from the bodily self and the definition\nof self-other boundaries (if these turn out to be the critical aspects\nfor the patient). In this endeavor, techniques such as virtual reality\nand robotics might help elucidate which levels of the multisen-\nsory integration process of the bodily self might be compromised ( Dieguez and Lopez 2017 , Tsakiris 2017 , Serino et al. 2018 ). Virtual\nreality along with role-playing sessions and the use of avatars are\nincreasingly considered effective tools for the training of clinicians who deal with individuals engaging in NSSI ( Taliaferro et al. 2023 ).\nIt remains to be tested whether the use of virtual reality or similar\ninterventions—and the definition of contexts and tasks aimed at\nreducing the uncertainty of the bodily self—might also be viable\nfor individuals engaging in NSSI.\nSecond, in this paper, we have mainly focused on uncertainty\nreduction, but as we reviewed earlier, there are other alterna-\ntive (or complementary) perspectives on the genesis of NSSI that\nconsiders elements such as affective regulation. In addition to\nthe studies discussed earlier, other insights into the pathologi-\ncal mechanisms that might underlie NSSI come from the anal-\nysis of clinical populations. For example, dysregulations of the\n10 Barca *et* *al.*\n“endogenous opioid system”—involved in reward and the regu-\nlation of pain and affect—have been documented ( Bresin and Gordon 2013 ), as low basal plasma levels of β -endorphins (which are peripherally released following tissue damage) in psychiatric patients ( van der Venne et al. 2021 , Cakin Memik et al. 2023 ). Lower salivary levels of β -endorphins have also been registered immediately before NSSI, compared to post-NSSI ( Störkel et al.", + "page_start": 8, + "page_end": 9, + "source_file": "pubmed1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Open Data: Emerging trends, issues and best practices a research project about openness of public[...]\n\n## **2.

In a world that produces digital data without\ninterruption, uncontrolled and unpredictable data releases are facts of life that are very hard to\npredict, practically impossible to avoid and increasingly common.

In such cases, it will be unavoidable not reach sometimes, even in good faith, wrong\nconclusions. This is not some theoretical possibility far in the future, as this real world example\n(from a comment to an [Open Data discussion in an italian blog](http://www.cottica.net/2010/09/16/spaghetti-open-data-reloaded/) ) proves:\n\" *on the* *[non italian]* *Geonames website you can download geo-referenced data*\n*about... 47000 Italian municipalities.

Advanced Copy Services\n\n### **11.6 Remote Copy services**\n\nThis section describes the Remote Copy services, which are a synchronous remote copy\ncalled Metro Mirror (MM), asynchronous remote copy called Global Mirror (GM), and Global\nMirror with Change Volumes. Remote Copy in an IBM Spectrum Virtualize system is similar to\nRemote Copy in the IBM System Storage DS8000 family at a functional level, but the\nimplementation differs.\nIBM Spectrum Virtualize provides a single point of control when remote copy is enabled in\nyour network (regardless of the disk subsystems that are used) if those disk subsystems are\nsupported by the system.\nThe general application of remote copy services is to maintain two real-time synchronized\ncopies of a volume. Often, the two copies are geographically dispersed between two IBM\nSpectrum Virtualize systems. However, it is possible to use MM or GM within a single system\n(within an I/O Group). If the master copy fails, you can enable an auxiliary copy for I/O\noperations.\nA typical application of this function is to set up a dual-site solution that uses two Storwize\nV7000 or IBM SAN Volume Controller systems. The first site is considered the *primary site* or *production site* , and the second site is considered the *backup site* or *failover site* . The failover\nsite is activated when a failure at the first site is detected.", + "page_start": 535, + "page_end": 535, + "source_file": "sg247938.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#\n\n## Chapter 8. User clients\n\n### **8.3 Client API overview**\n\n#### **8.3.2 Content Management Interoperability Services**\n\nCMIS is an open standard for accessing content management repositories. It is an OASIS\nspecification and it is supported by various applications from different vendors, including IBM\n(with FileNet P8, Content Manager, and Content Manager OnDemand).\nCMIS provides a common access interface for searching, retrieving, and in the case of\ndocument management systems, modifying and deleting documents. It is a web services\ninterface that is implemented in either SOAP web services and REST (Atom) services.\nFor more information about CMIS, see the CMIS page on the OASIS website, the CMIS\noverview page at the IBM Enterprise Content Manager website, and the technical\ndocumentation that is available:\n� [https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/cmis/](https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/cmis/)\n� [http://www.ibm.com/software/ecm/cmis.html](http://www.ibm.com/software/ecm/cmis.html)\n� *Implementing Web Applications with CM Information Integrator for Content and*\n*OnDemand Web Enablement Kit* , SG24-6338\n� Content Management Interoperability Services for Content Manager OnDemand is\ninstalled as part of the IBM Content Navigator installation. For more information, see\n“Installing Content Navigator” on page 194.\nWhen you consider implementing your own software on CMIS, remember CMIS is used for\naccessing document management systems, but not necessarily high-volume report archives,\nsuch as Content Manager OnDemand.\nThe methodology of accessing documents is based on folders and subfolders with\ndocuments in it (such as in a file system) and partially emulated by Content Manager\nOnDemand with its different object model. The use of CMIS must be considered as an\nabstraction layer that might have an impact on throughput and feature exposure. Also, much\nof the CMIS API is not supported by Content Manager OnDemand (such as the storage and\ndeletion functions).", + "page_start": 227, + "page_end": 227, + "source_file": "sg246915.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Developer Guide Serverless\n\n## **Getting started with serverless applications**\n\n### **Get started with IAM**\n\n#### **What is Identity and Access Management?**\nAWS provides and uses a service called [Identity and Access Management (IAM)](https://aws.amazon.com/iam/) for authentication\nand authorization.

You can configure a specific system for partnership with another\nsystem. All intercluster Metro Mirror processing occurs between two IBM Spectrum\nVirtualize systems that are configured in a partnership.\n� Intercluster and intracluster Metro Mirror can be used concurrently.\n� IBM Spectrum Virtualize does not require that a control network or fabric is installed to\nmanage Metro Mirror. For intercluster Metro Mirror, the system maintains a control link\nbetween two systems. This control link is used to control the state and coordinate updates\nat either end. The control link is implemented on top of the same FC fabric connection that\nthe system uses for Metro Mirror I/O.\n� IBM Spectrum Virtualize implements a configuration model that maintains the Metro Mirror\nconfiguration and state through major events, such as failover, recovery, and\nresynchronization, to minimize user configuration action through these events.\nChapter 11.

Cross-cutting design questions** *\n\nThe workshops briefly touched on several cross-cutting design questions. While most\nrelevant for approaches that depend on limitations and exceptions, considerations of these\nquestions may be relevant across both tracks.\n*Would authors, publishers, and other relevant rightsholders* *and creators have any ability to exclude their works?*\nOne of the greatest sources of controversy in this area is the extent to which rightsholders of\ncopyrighted works, as well as the original creators of such works (e.g., book authors in this\ncontext), should be able to prevent use of their works for AI training.\nWhile a system that required affirmative “opt-in” consent would limit utility significantly (as\ndiscussed above in the context of directly licensing works), a system that allowed some\nforms of “opt-out” could still be quite useful to some types of AI development. In the context\nof use cases like development of LLMs, the performance impact may not be so significant.\nSince most in-copyright books are not actively managed, the majority of books would remain\nin the corpus by default. The performance of LLMs can still be improved across various\ndimensions without including, for example, the most famous writers or those who continue\nto commercially exploit their works and may choose to exercise an opt-out. Perhaps the\npotential for licensing relationships (and revenue) may induce some rightsholders to come\nforward and begin actively managing their works. In such a case, uses that do require a\nlicense may once again become more feasible once the rightsholder can be reached.\nWorkshop participants discussed different types of opt-outs that could be built. For example,\nopt-outs could be thought of not in blanket terms, but only as applied to certain uses, for\nexample to commercial uses of the corpus, but not research uses. This could build on or\nmirror the approach that the EU has taken in its text and data mining exceptions to\ncopyright. Opt-outs might be more granular, by focusing on allowing or forbidding particular 38", + "page_start": 17, + "page_end": 17, + "source_file": "creative_common_ai.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Towards a Books Data Commons for AI Training\n\n## * **6. Cross-cutting design questions** *\n\n###### *Who would get to use the books data commons? For what?*\n\nuses or other categories of users, given that rights holders have many different sets of\npreferences.\nAnother question is about *who* can opt-out particular works from the dataset. This could\nsolely be an option for copyright holders, although authors might be allowed to exercise an\nopt-out for their books even if they don’t hold the copyrights. This might create challenges if\nthe author and rightsholder disagree about whether to opt a particular book out of the\ncorpus. Another related issue is that individual books, such as anthologies, may comprise\nworks created (and rights held) by many different entities. The images in a book may have\ncome from third-party sources, for instance, or a compendium of poetry might involve many\n\nIn fact, as noted above, to the extent an AI model developer intends for their model to abide by the 38\nEU’s legal regime, they will have to abide by such opt-outs, at least if they are engaged in text and data\nmining for commercial uses and/or are users outside of the covered set of research and heritage\ninstitutions. A books data commons may incorporate opt-outs in particular to serve such EU-focused AI\ndevelopers.\ndifferent rightsholders and authors. Managing opt-outs for so many different interests within\none book may get overly complicated very fast.\nIn any event, creating an opt-out system will need some ways of authenticating whether\nsomeone has the relevant authority to make choices about inclusion of a work.\n###### *Who would get to use the books data commons? For what?*\nA commons might be made publicly available to all, as has been done with datasets like The\nPile. Another possible design choice is to restrict access only to authorized users and to\nenforce particular responsibilities or obligations in return for authorization.

The CC0 Public Domain Dedication Publ[...]\n\n## Guide to using public domain tools\n\n### What Is Creative Commons?\n\n#### What is the difference between CC0 and the Public Domain Mark?\n\nCC0 (“CC Zero”) is intended for use only\nby authors or holders of copyright and\nrelated rights (including database rights), in connection\nwith works that are still subject to those rights in one or\nmore countries.\nWhen CC0 is applied to a work, copyright and related\nrights are relinquished worldwide, making the work free\nfrom those restrictions to the greatest extent possible.\nThe Public Domain Mark (PDM) is used\nto label works that are already free of\nknown copyright restrictions. Unlike CC0, PDM doesn’t\nchange the copyright status of a work.\nPDM can be used by anyone, and is intended for use\nwith works that are already free of known copyright\nrestrictions throughout the world.\n##### Public domain works are valuable because anyone\n##### can freely build upon, enhance, and reuse them for\n##### any purposes without restriction under copyright\n##### or database law.\nThat’s why it’s important for creators to have a clear and\nlegally robust way to place their works in the public domain as\ncompletely as possible, and it’s also important for publishers\nand archives to have a standardized way to identify works that\nare already in the public domain.\nCreative Commons supports two distinct public domain tools,\nthe CC0 Public Domain Dedication and the Public Domain\nMark . Creative Commons copyright licenses help authors\nmanage their copyright on terms they choose. Conversely, CC0\nenables authors and copyright owners who want to dedicate\ntheir works to the worldwide public domain to do so, and PDM\nfacilitates the labeling and discovery of works that are already\nfree of known copyright restrictions.\nWhere public domain tools fit in the copyright spectrum\nSome rights\nreserved\nAll rights\nreserved\nPDM\nNo known\ncopyright\nCC0\nPublic\ndomain", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "Publicdomain.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Guide to using public domain tools What Is Creative Commons?

Your user profile must have its locale set to the locale of the instance that you want to\ncreate.\nBecause the locale is set in the user profile, you might need to change your user profile,\nsign off, and sign on again before you create the instance. Use the Change User Profile\n( **CHGUSRPRF** ) command to change your user profile, if necessary. Also, ensure that other\nlanguage-related parameters in your user profile are set correctly. (The Change User\nProfile ( **CHGUSRPRF** ) command does not show the current locale setting; it shows *SAME .\nRun the Display User Profile ( **DSPUSRPRF** ) command to check the locale setting.)\nThe Locale Job Attributes ( **SETJOBATR** ) parameter in your user profile is used to determine\nthe values that are obtained from the locale. For Content Manager OnDemand, at a\nminimum, you must use **SETJOBATR(*CCSID)** . For example, if you are in the US and are\nusing the English language, you enter the following Change User Profile command (all as\none command):\nCHGUSRPRF USRPRF(user_profile_name) LANGID(ENU) CNTRYID(US) CCSID(37)\nSETJOBATR(*CCSID *DATFMT *TIMSEP *DATSEP *DECFMT *SRTSEQ)\nLOCALE('/QSYS.LIB/EN_US.LOCALE')\nIf you are in Spain and are using the Spanish language with euro support, you enter the\nfollowing command (all as one command):\nCHGUSRPRF USRPRF(user_profile_name) LANGID(ESP) CNTRYID(ES) CCSID(1145)\nSETJOBATR(*CCSID *DATFMT *TIMSEP *DATSEP *DECFMT *SRTSEQ)\nLOCALE('/QSYS.LIB/ES_ES.LOCALE')\nFor more information about locales, see Chapter 13, “Defining a locale”, in the *IBM*\n*Content Manager OnDemand for i - Common Server Planning and Installation Guide* ,\nSC19-2790.\n2. Choose a name for the instance or use the default instance name of QUSROND *.*\nThe instance name must be a valid library name for IBM i.

The model describes fermions interacting by ex-\nchanging soft, overdamped collective bosons in a partic-\nular, near-critical, spin or charge channel 31,44,45 . This\ninteraction is responsible for the normal state self-energy\nand also gives rise to a superconductivity. A peculiar\nfeature of the CB model is that the propagator of a col-\nlective boson changes below T c because this boson is not\nan independent degree of freedom (as in EB model) but\nis made out of low-energy fermions which are affected by\nsuperconductivity 32 .\nThe most relevant point for our discussion is that this\nmodel contains the physics which we identified above as\na source of a potential sign change of ∆ W K . Namely,\nat strong coupling the fermionic self-energy in the NS\nis large because there exists strong scattering between\nlow-energy fermions mediated by low-energy collective\nbosons. In the SCS, the density of low-energy fermions\ndrops and a continuum collective excitations becomes\ngaped. Both effects reduce fermionic damping and lead\nto the increase of W K in a SCS. If this increase exceeds a\nconventional loss of W K due to a gap opening, the total\n∆ W K may become positive.\nThe CB model has been applied numerous times to the\ncuprates, most often under the assumption that near-\ncritical collective excitations are spin fluctuations with\nmomenta near Q = ( π, π ).

We compute conductivities, optical integrals W , and ∆ W between superconducting\nand normal states for 2-D systems with lattice dispersion typical of the cuprates for four different\nmodels - a dirty BCS model, a single Einstein boson model, a marginal Fermi liquid model, and a\ncollective boson model with a feedback from superconductivity on a collective boson. The goal of\nthe paper is two-fold. First, we analyze the dependence of W on the upper cut-off ( ω c ) placed on\nthe optical integral because in experiments W is measured up to frequencies of order bandwidth.\nFor a BCS model, the Kubo sum rule is almost fully reproduced at ω c equal to the bandwidth. But\nfor other models only 70%-80% of Kubo sum rule is obtained up to this scale and even less so for\n∆ W , implying that the Kubo sum rule has to be applied with caution. Second, we analyze the sign\nof ∆ W . In all models we studied ∆ W is positive at small ω c , then crosses zero and approaches a\nnegative value at large ω c , i.e. the optical integral in a superconductor is smaller than in a normal\nstate. The point of zero crossing, however, increases with the interaction strength and in a collective\nboson model becomes comparable to the bandwidth at strong coupling. We argue that this model\nexhibits the behavior consistent with that in the cuprates.\nI. INTRODUCTION\nThe analysis of sum rules for optical conductivity has a long history. Kubo, in an extensive paper 1 in 1957, used\na general formalism of a statistical theory of irreversible\nprocesses to investigate the behavior of the conductivity\nin electronic systems. For a system of interacting elec-\ntrons, he derived the expression for the integral of the real\npart of a (complex) electric conductivity σ (Ω) and found\nthat it is independent on the nature of the interactions\nand reduces to\n� ∞\n0\nRe σ (Ω) d Ω= π 2\nne 2\nm (1)\nHere n is the density of the electrons in the system and", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "1001.0764.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Optical Integral and Sum Rule Violation\n\n## 1\n\n∆ W K becomes small at a truly strong coupling, and over\na wide range of frequencies the behavior of ∆ W ( ω c ) is\npredominantly governed by ∆ f ( ω c ), i.e. by the cut-off term. 50 The implication is that, to first approximation,\n∆ W K can be neglected and positive ∆ W ( w c ) integrated\nto a frequency where it is still positive is almost compen-\nsated by the integral over larger frequencies. This again\nwould be consistent with the experimental data in Refs.\n8,9.\nIt is also instructive to understand the interplay be-\ntween the behavior of ∆ W ( ω c ) and the behavior of the\ndifference of the kinetic energy between the SCS and the\nNS, δ KE . We computed the kinetic energy as a function\nof λω sf and present the results in Fig. 23 for λ = 1 and\n10. For a relatively weak λ = 1 the behavior is clearly\nBCS like- δ KE > 0 and increases with increasing λω sf .\nHowever, at large λ = 10, we see that the kinetic energy\nbegin decreasing at large λω sf and eventually changes\nsign. The behavior of δ KE at a truly strong coupling is\nconsistent with earlier calculation of the kinetic energy\nfor Ornstein-Zernike form of the spin susceptibility 43 .\nWe clearly see that the increase of the zero crossing\nfrequency of ∆ W ( ω c ) at a truly strong coupling is cor-\nrelated with the non-BCS behavior of δ KE . At the same\ntime, the behavior of δW ( ω c ) is obviously not driven by\nthe kinetic energy as eventually δW ( ω c ) changes sign and\nbecome negative. Rather, the increase in the frequency\nrange where ∆ W ( ω c ) remains positive and non-BCS be-\nhavior of δ KE are two indications of the same effect that\nfermions are incoherent in the NS but acquire coherence\nin the SCS.\nIII.

In a\nweak coupling BCS superconductor, ∆ W ( ω c ) is positive\nat ω c < 2∆due to a contribution from superfluid den-\nsity, but becomes negative at larger ω c , and approach a\nnegative value of ∆ W K .

In over- doped cuprates, there is clear indication 11 that ∆ W ( ω c )\nbecomes negative above a few ∆, consistent with BCS\nbehavior. In underdoped cuprates, two groups argued 8,9\nthat ∆ W integrated up to the bandwidth remains posi- tive, while the other group argued 10 that it is negative.\nThe reasoning why ∆ W K may potentially change sign\nat strong coupling involves the correlation between − W K\nand the kinetic energy. In the BCS limit, kinetic en-\nergy obviously increases in a SCS because of gap opening,\nhence − W K increases, and ∆ W K is negative. At strong\ncoupling, there is a counter effect - fermions become more\nmobile in a SCS due to a smaller self-energy.\nWe considered four models: a BCS model with impu-\nrities, a model of fermions interacting with an Einstein\nboson, a phenomenological MFL model with impurities,\nand a model of fermions interacting with collective spin\nfluctuations.

The experimental re-\nsults demonstrated, above all, outstanding achievements\nof experimental abilities as these groups managed to de-\ntect the value of the optical integral with the accuracy\nof a fraction of a percent. The analysis of the change\nof the optical integral between normal and SCS is even\nmore complex because one has to (i) extend NS data to\nT < T c and (ii) measure superfluid density with the same\naccuracy as the optical integral itself.\nThe analysis of the optical integral showed that in over-\ndoped cuprates it definitely decreases below T c , in con-\nsistency with the expectations at weak coupling 11 . For\nunderdoped cuprates, all experimental groups agree that\na relative change of the optical integral below T c gets\nmuch smaller. There is no agreement yet about the sign of the change of the optical integral : Molegraaf et al. 8 and Santander-Syro et al. 9 argued that the optical inte-\ngral increases below T c , while Boris et al. 10 argued that\nit decreases.

There are many pro-\nposals to realized the Kitaev model in more controllable\nsituations, e.g. in cold atom optical lattices 17,18 , or in\nsuperconducting circuits 19 . But it is still desirable for\ntheoretical curiosity and practical purposes to realize the\nKitaev-type models in spin rotation invariant systems.\nIn this paper we realize the Kitaev honeycomb lattice\nmodel as the low energy Hamiltonian for a spin rotation\ninvariant system. The trick is not to use the physical spin\nas the spin in the Kitaev model, instead the spin-1/2 in\nKitaev model is from some emergent two-fold degener-\nate low energy states in the elementary unit of physical\nsystem. This type of idea has been explored recently by\nJackeli and Khaliullin 20 , in which the spin-1/2 in the Ki-\ntaev model is the low energy Kramers doublet created by\nstrong spin-orbit coupling of t 2 g orbitals. In the model\npresented below, the Hilbert space of spin-1/2 in the Ki-\ntaev model is actually the two dimensional spin singlet\nsector of four antiferromagnetically coupled spin-1/2 mo-\nments, and the role of spin-1/2 operators(Pauli matrices)\nin the Kitaev model is replaced by certain combinations\nof S j · S k [or the spin-chirality S j · ( S k × S l )] between the\nfour spins.\nOne major drawback of the model to be presented is\nthat it contains high order spin interactions(involves up\nto six or eight spins), thus is still unnatural. However it\nopens the possibility to realize exotic (exactly solvable)\nmodels from spin-1/2 Hamiltonian with spin rotation in-\nvariant interactions. We will discuss two possible routes\nto reduce this artificialness through controlled perturba-\ntive expansions, by coupling to optical phonons or by\nmagnetic couplings between the elementary units.\nThe outline of this paper is as follows.

The correspond-\ning picture of the fractionalized Majorana fermion exci-\ntations and Ising vortices still remain to be clarified.\nThis exact construction contains high order physical\nspin interactions, which is undesirable for practical im-\nplementation. We described two possible approaches to\nreduce this problem: generating the high order spin in-\nteractions by perturbative expansion of the coupling to\noptical phonon, or the magnetic coupling between clus-\nters. This perturbative construction will introduce trun-\ncation error of perturbation series, which may be con-\ntrolled by small expansion parameters. Whether these\nconstructions can be experimentally engineered is how-\never beyond the scope of this study.

FORMULATION OF THE PSEUDO-SPIN-1/2\nFROM FOUR-SPIN CLUSTER.\nIn this Section we will construct the pseudo-spin-1/2\nfrom a cluster of four physical spins, and map the phys-\nical spin operators to pseudo-spin operators. The map-\nping constructed here will be used in later Sections to\nconstruct the effective Kitaev model. In this Section we\nwill work entirely within the four-spin cluster, all unspec-\nified physical spin subscripts take values 1 , . . . , 4.\nConsider a cluster of four spin-1/2 moments(called\nphysical spins hereafter), labeled by S 1 ,..., 4 , antiferro-\nmagnetically coupled to each other (see the right bot-\ntom part of FIG. 2). The Hamiltonian within the clus-\nter(up to a constant) is simply the Heisenberg antiferro-\nmagnetic(AFM) interactions,\nH cluster = ( J cluster / 2) ( S 1 + S 2 + S 3 + S 4 ) 2 (2)\nThe energy levels should be apparent from this form:\none group of spin-2 quintets with energy 3 J cluster , three\ngroups of spin-1 triplets with energy J cluster , and two spin\nsinglets with energy zero. We will consider large positive\nJ cluster limit. So only the singlet sector remains in low\nenergy.\nThe singlet sector is then treated as a pseudo-spin-1/2\nHilbert space.

The spin in Kitaev model is\nrepresented as the pseudo-spin in the two-fold degenerate\nspin singlet subspace of a cluster of four antiferromag-\nnetically coupled spin-1/2 moments. The physical spin\nmodel is a honeycomb lattice of such four-spin clusters,\nwith certain inter-cluster interactions. The machinery\nfor the exact mapping to pseudo-spin Hamiltonian was\ndeveloped (see e.g. TABLE I), which is quite general\nand can be used to construct other interesting (exactly\nsolvable) spin-1/2 models from spin rotation invariant\nsystems.\nIn this construction the pseudo-spin correlations in the", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 7, + "source_file": "1001.0266.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Realization of the Exactly Solvable Kitaev Honeycomb Lattice Model in a Spin Rotation Invariant Syst[...]\n\n## Rotation Invariant System\n\nP 13 , and P 24 − (1 / 2) τ x + ( √ 3 / 2) τ y\nP 14 , and P 23 − (1 / 2) τ x − ( √ 3 / 2) τ y\n− χ 234 , χ 341 , − χ 412 , and χ 123 ( √ 3 / 4) τ z\nTABLE I: Correspondence between physical spin operators\nand pseudo-spin operators in the physical spin singlet sector of\nthe four antiferromagnetically coupled physical spins.

The model describes fermions interacting by ex-\nchanging soft, overdamped collective bosons in a partic-\nular, near-critical, spin or charge channel 31,44,45 . This\ninteraction is responsible for the normal state self-energy\nand also gives rise to a superconductivity.

Namely,\nat strong coupling the fermionic self-energy in the NS\nis large because there exists strong scattering between\nlow-energy fermions mediated by low-energy collective\nbosons. In the SCS, the density of low-energy fermions\ndrops and a continuum collective excitations becomes\ngaped. Both effects reduce fermionic damping and lead\nto the increase of W K in a SCS. If this increase exceeds a\nconventional loss of W K due to a gap opening, the total\n∆ W K may become positive.\nThe CB model has been applied numerous times to the\ncuprates, most often under the assumption that near-\ncritical collective excitations are spin fluctuations with\nmomenta near Q = ( π, π ). This version of a CB bo-\nson is commonly known as a spin-fermion model.

In a\nweak coupling BCS superconductor, ∆ W ( ω c ) is positive\nat ω c < 2∆due to a contribution from superfluid den-\nsity, but becomes negative at larger ω c , and approach a\nnegative value of ∆ W K . Our study was motivated by fas-\ncinating optical experiments on the cuprates 7- 10 . In over- doped cuprates, there is clear indication 11 that ∆ W ( ω c )\nbecomes negative above a few ∆, consistent with BCS\nbehavior. In underdoped cuprates, two groups argued 8,9\nthat ∆ W integrated up to the bandwidth remains posi- tive, while the other group argued 10 that it is negative.\nThe reasoning why ∆ W K may potentially change sign\nat strong coupling involves the correlation between − W K\nand the kinetic energy. In the BCS limit, kinetic en-\nergy obviously increases in a SCS because of gap opening,\nhence − W K increases, and ∆ W K is negative.

Just remember that your\ntutors cannot guess what your needs are: you will have to make\ncontact with your tutors and communicate your questions clearly if\nyou want to get the assistance that you need.\nWhen it comes to contacting your tutors, your best option will\nusually be to send an e-mail.\nHere are some important tips to keep in mind when\nrequesting help from a tutor via e-mail:\n**Use a relevant and descriptive subject line.**\nThis way, your tutor will immediately know what your e-mail is\nabout, and he or she will be more likely to open it. A good subject\nline might read as follows: “Enquiry regarding Assignment 1 for\nSafety Management 101”\n####### **Be polite, and use an appropriate form of address.**\nAlways start your e-mail with an appropriate form of address,\nsuch as “Hello Mr/Ms ...” and sign it off with your full name and\nstudent number.

This is especially\nimportant if you are a distance learning student (www.oxbridgeacademy.\nco.za/distance-learning/), as you won’t have a teacher or lecturer to\npoint out key concepts, or to give you tips about the types of questions\nyou can expect in the exams.\nSUMMARISING YOUR WORK GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO:\n- Organise your study material into a structure that makes sense to you.\n- Arrange your study material into a format that suits your learning style.\n- Create memory aids for yourself.\n- Identify key ideas and concepts.\n- Focus on what’s important.\n- Prepare for exams more easily.\nSO WHAT EXACTLY IS A SUMMARY?\nA summary is more than just a condensed or shortened version of your\nwork. A summary requires you to analyse your study material, to identify\nthe key concepts, and to explain it in your own words.\nTo make a good summary, you need to:\n- Keep it brief.\n- Make sure to use main headings and keywords.\n- Focus on the main ideas.\n- Classify and organise the information in a logical manner.\n- Use your own words where possible.\n- Include examples.\n- Remember that your summaries are there to help you.\nYOU CAN MAKE YOUR SUMMARIES IN DIFFERENT FOR­ MATS. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES:\nMind Maps (Spider Diagrams)\nA mind map is a visual expression of thoughts, ideas and concepts. It\nusually takes the form of a diagram, with the main concept in the centre,\nand the related concepts branching out from there. Here is an example:\n\nPayroll Contracts\n**HR**\n**Manager’s Duties**\nStaff\nTraining\nDiscipline\nThe benefits of using mind maps include the following:\n- They help you to see how the different bits of information fit into the\nbigger picture.\n- They help you to understand the relationships between concepts.\n- They help you to memorise information more quickly (by engaging both hemispheres of your brain).\nTips for making mind maps:", + "page_start": 26, + "page_end": 29, + "source_file": "basic-english-language-skills.PDF" + }, + { + "text": "# BASIC ENGLISH language skills\n\n## IMPROVE YOUR MARKS!\n\n###### CHAPTER 12:\n\n- Always use a relevant and descriptive subject line.\nE-mails with blank subject lines may be marked as spam by the\nrecipient’s e-mail client, and e-mails with non-descriptive subject\nlines such as “Hello” or “Meeting” may be ignored.\n- Write your e-mail in clear and simple language.\nDon’t try to sound too formal, and don’t use complicated words\nwhen simple ones would work just fine. As far as possible, write in\nthe active voice.\n- Structure your message clearly, and include only the necessary information.\nTake care not to confuse the message by including too many topics\nin one e-mail.

If you\nstart reading through the job descriptions in a industry, you will find that the vast\nmajority of jobs require one or more of the following:\n- Effective communication skills\n- Interpersonal skills\n- Ability to work in a team\n- Negotiation skills\n- Conflict resolution skills\n- Report writing skills\nWhat all of these skills have in common is that they involve the use of", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "basic-english-language-skills.PDF" + }, + { + "text": "# 2020 No. 471 EDUCATION, ENGLAND The Special Educational Needs and Disability (Coronavirus) (Amendm[...]\n\nS T A T U T O R Y I N S T R U M E N T S", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "uksi_20200471_en.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "sg247938.pdf", + "query": "When is it necessary to use a host multipathing driver for load balancing?", + "target_page": 340, + "target_passage": "For load balancing and access redundancy on the host side, the use of a host multipathing driver is required in the following situations: Protection from fabric link failures, including port failures on the IBM Spectrum Virtualize system nodes Protection from a host HBA failure (if two HBAs are in use) Protection from fabric failures if the host is connected through two HBAs to two separate fabrics Provide load balancing across the host HBA", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": false, + "index": null + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "# Red books Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1\n\n## **Chapter 3.

Map each host group to exactly one port set.\n4. Zone all hosts from each group to the corresponding set of I/O Group node ports.\nThe host connections in the example on Figure 3-4 on page 56 are defined in the following\nmanner:\n- Hosts in group one are always zoned to ports 1 and 4 on both nodes.\n- Hosts in group two are always zoned to ports 2 and 3 on both nodes of the I/O Group.\nThe use of this schema provides four paths to one I/O Group for each host, and helps to\nmaintain an equal distribution of host connections on Storwize V7000 ports.\n**Tip:** Create an alias for the I/O Group port set. This step makes it easier to correctly zone\nhosts to the correct set of I/O Group ports. It also makes host group membership visible in\nthe FC switch configuration.\n**Tip:** To maximize performance from the host point of view, distribute volumes that are\nmapped to each host between both I/O Group nodes.\n**56** Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1\n*Figure 3-4 Overview of four-path host zoning*\nWhen possible, use the minimum number of paths that are necessary to achieve a sufficient\nlevel of redundancy. For the Storwize V7000 environment, no more than four paths per I/O\nGroup are required to accomplish this layout.\nAll paths must be managed by the multipath driver on the host side. Make sure that the\nmultipath driver on each server can handle the number of paths required to access all\nvolumes mapped to the host.\nFor hosts that use four HBAs/ports with eight connections to an I/O Group, use the zoning\nschema that is shown in Figure 3-5 on page 57. You can combine this schema with the\nprevious four-path zoning schema.\nChapter 3.

You\ncan estimate the peak workload requirement by measuring the maximum write workload\naveraged over a period of 1 minute or less, and adding the heartbeat bandwidth. Statistics\nmust be gathered over a typical application I/O workload cycle, which might be days, weeks,\nor months, depending on the environment in which the Storwize V7000 is used.\nWhen planning the inter-site link, consider also the initial sync and any future resync\nworkloads. It might be worthwhile to secure additional link bandwidth for the initial data\nsynchronization.\nIf the link between the sites is configured with redundancy so that it can tolerate single\nfailures, you must size the link so that the bandwidth and latency requirements are met even\nduring single failure conditions.\nWhen planning the inter-site link, make a careful note whether it is dedicated to the\ninter-cluster traffic or is going to be used to carry any other data. Sharing link with other traffic\n(for example, cross-site IP traffic) might reduce the cost of creating the inter-site connection\nand improve link utilization. However, doing so might affect the links’ ability to provide the\nrequired bandwidth for data replication.\nVerify carefully that the devices that you plan to use to implement the intercluster link are\nsupported.\n**Cluster configuration**\nIf you configure replication services, you might decide to dedicate ports for intercluster\ncommunication, intracluster traffic, or both.

Performance\n\n### **13.2 Data loading performance**\n\n#### **13.2.2 Recommendations**\n\nFor the most optimal performance in loading, we recommend the following practices:\n� For Multiplatforms and z/OS, run parallel load jobs to take advantage of multiprocessors,\nlarge memory pools, multiple data paths, and multiple disk drives.\n� Ensure that each parallel load is loading to a different application group.\n� Ensure that you set up a different temp directory for each of the parallel loads. The **-c**\n**indexDir** indexer parameter (which specifies the directory in which the indexer stores\ntemporary data) must always be specified for **ARSLOAD** and must be unique for each\nrunning **ARSLOAD** process.\n� For IBM i, start multiple output queue monitors over a single output queue to improve\nthroughput and take advantage of multiprocessors, large memory pools, and multiple disk\ndrives.\n� Each Content Manager OnDemand process is limited by the performance of a single\nprocessor. For example, the OS/400 indexer uses only one processor when it indexes a\ndocument. Using two or more processors in your system or LPAR does not improve the\nperformance of the OS/400 indexer. However, by using two or more processors in your\nsystem or LPAR, you might be able to run multiple load jobs simultaneously. You can start\nmultiple output queue monitors over a single output queue to improve document load\nperformance.\n� For IBM i, the use of the Merge Spooled Files ( **MRGSPLFOND** ) command can provide\nsignificant performance improvements when you load SCS spooled files.\nChapter 13. Performance\n� For IBM i, depending on your retrieval patterns and system hardware configuration, it\nmight be advantageous to *not* store a duplicate set of documents in the Content Manager\nOnDemand cache when you use ASM because ASM might already be using disk space.

These factors include, but are not limited to, dissimilar workloads that are\ncompeting for the same resources, overloaded resources, insufficient available resources,\npoor performing resources, and similar performance constraints.\nRemember the following high-level rules when you are designing your storage area network\n(SAN) and IBM Spectrum Virtualize layout:\n� Host-to-System inter-switch link (ISL) oversubscription\nThis area is the most significant input/output (I/O) load across ISLs. The recommendation\nis to maintain a maximum of 7-to-1 oversubscription. A higher ratio is possible, but it tends\nto lead to I/O bottlenecks. This suggestion also assumes a core-edge design, where the\nhosts are on the edges and the Storwize V7000 is the core.\n� Storage-to-System ISL oversubscription\nThis area is the second most significant I/O load across ISLs. The maximum\noversubscription is 7-to-1. A higher ratio is not supported. Again, this suggestion assumes\na multiple-switch SAN fabric design.\n� Node-to-node ISL oversubscription\nThis area does not apply to Storwize V7000 clusters composed of a unique control\nenclosure. This area is the least significant load of the three possible oversubscription\nbottlenecks. In standard setups, this load can be ignored. Although this area is not entirely\nnegligible, it does not contribute significantly to the ISL load. However, node-to-node ISL\noversubscription is mentioned here in relation to the split-cluster capability that was made\navailable since V6.3 (HyperSwap).\nWhen the system is running in this manner, the number of ISL links becomes more\nimportant. As with the storage-to-System ISL oversubscription, this load also requires a\nmaximum of 7-to-1 oversubscription. Exercise caution and careful planning when you\ndetermine the number of ISLs to implement. If you need assistance, contact your IBM\nrepresentative.\n� ISL trunking/port channeling\nFor the best performance and availability, use ISL trunking or port channeling.\nIndependent ISL links can easily become overloaded and turn into performance\nbottlenecks. Bonded or trunked ISLs automatically share load and provide better\nredundancy in a failure.", + "page_start": 761, + "page_end": 761, + "source_file": "sg247938.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Red books Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1\n\n## **Chapter 3.

This limit is the same whether hosts\nare attached by using FC, iSCSI, or a combination of both. To allow more than 512 hosts to\naccess the storage, you must divide them into groups of 512 hosts or less, and map each\ngroup to single I/O Group only. This approach allows you to configure up to 2048 host objects\non a system with four I/O Groups (eight nodes).\nFor best performance, split each host group into two sets. For each set, configure the\npreferred access node for volumes presented to the host set to one of the I/O Group nodes.\nThis approach helps to evenly distribute load between the I/O Group nodes.\n**72** Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1", + "page_start": 92, + "page_end": 93, + "source_file": "sg247938.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Red books Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1\n\n## **Chapter 3.

The IP network\ncan be used as a carrier for FCoIP solution or as a native data carrier.\nEach of the technologies has its own requirements concerning supported distance, link\nspeeds, bandwidth, and vulnerability to frame or packet loss. For the most current information\nregarding requirements and limitations of each of supported technologies, see [this website](https://ibm.biz/BdjKbu) .\nThe two major parameters of a link are its bandwidth and latency. Latency might limit\nmaximum bandwidth available over IP links, depending on the details of the technology that is\nused.\nWhen planning the Intercluster link, consider the peak performance that is required. This\nconsideration is especially important for Metro Mirror configurations.\nWhen Metro Mirror or Global Mirror is used, a certain amount of bandwidth is required for the\nIBM Storwize V7000 intercluster heartbeat traffic. The amount of traffic depends on how\nmany nodes are in each of the two clustered systems.\nChapter 3.

The example that is\nshown in Figure 3-4 on page 56 assigns ports 1 and 4 to one port set, and ports 2 and 3 to\nthe second set.\nBecause the I/O Group nodes have four FC ports each, two port sets are created.\n2.

INTRODUCTION**\n\nThe Gamma ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on Fermi is\ncurrently the only instrument in orbit providing nearly\ncontinuous full sky coverage in the hard X-ray/low\nenergy gamma ray energy range. The Earth occul-\ntation technique, used very successfully on BATSE,\nhas been adapted to GBM. An initial catalog of 64\nsources is currently being monitored and continuously\naugmented. At energies above 100 keV, six steady\nsources (the Crab, Cyg X-1, Swift J1753.5-0127, 1E\n1740-29, Cen A, GRS 1915+105) and one transient\nsource (XTE J1752-223) have been detected in the\nfirst year of observation. We describe the instrument,\noutline the technique, and present light curves for the\nseven sources.\n**II. GBM AND THE EARTH OCCULTATION**\n**OBSERVATIONAL TECHNIQUE**\nThe Gamma ray Burst Monitor is the secondary\ninstrument onboard the Fermi satellite [1, 2]. It con-\nsists of 12 NaI detectors 5 *′′* in diameter by 0.5 *′′* thick\nmounted on the corners of the spacecraft and oriented\nsuch that they view the entire sky not occulted by the Earth. GBM also contains 2 BGO detectors 5 *′′* in di- ameter by 5 *′′* thick located on opposite sides of the\nspacecraft. None of the GBM detectors have direct\nimaging capability.\nKnown sources of gamma ray emission can be mon-\nitored with non-imaging detectors using the Earth oc-\ncultation technique, as was successfully demonstrated\nwith BATSE [3, 4]. When a source of gamma rays\nis occulted by the Earth, the count rate measured by\nthe detector will drop, producing a step-like feature.\nWhen the source reappears from behind the Earths\nlimb, the count rate will increase, producing another\nstep. The diameter of the Earth seen from Fermi is\n*∼* 140 ** , so roughly 30% of the sky is occulted by the\nEarth at any one time. Coupled with the *±* 35 ** slew-\ning of the pointing direction every orbit, this means\nthat the entire sky is occulted every two orbits.

INTRODUCTION**\n\nThe Gamma ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on Fermi is\ncurrently the only instrument in orbit providing nearly\ncontinuous full sky coverage in the hard X-ray/low\nenergy gamma ray energy range. The Earth occul-\ntation technique, used very successfully on BATSE,\nhas been adapted to GBM. An initial catalog of 64\nsources is currently being monitored and continuously\naugmented. At energies above 100 keV, six steady\nsources (the Crab, Cyg X-1, Swift J1753.5-0127, 1E\n1740-29, Cen A, GRS 1915+105) and one transient\nsource (XTE J1752-223) have been detected in the\nfirst year of observation. We describe the instrument,\noutline the technique, and present light curves for the\nseven sources.\n**II. GBM AND THE EARTH OCCULTATION**\n**OBSERVATIONAL TECHNIQUE**\nThe Gamma ray Burst Monitor is the secondary\ninstrument onboard the Fermi satellite [1, 2]. It con-\nsists of 12 NaI detectors 5 *′′* in diameter by 0.5 *′′* thick\nmounted on the corners of the spacecraft and oriented\nsuch that they view the entire sky not occulted by the Earth. GBM also contains 2 BGO detectors 5 *′′* in di- ameter by 5 *′′* thick located on opposite sides of the\nspacecraft. None of the GBM detectors have direct\nimaging capability.\nKnown sources of gamma ray emission can be mon-\nitored with non-imaging detectors using the Earth oc-\ncultation technique, as was successfully demonstrated\nwith BATSE [3, 4]. When a source of gamma rays\nis occulted by the Earth, the count rate measured by\nthe detector will drop, producing a step-like feature.\nWhen the source reappears from behind the Earths\nlimb, the count rate will increase, producing another\nstep. The diameter of the Earth seen from Fermi is\n*∼* 140 ** , so roughly 30% of the sky is occulted by the\nEarth at any one time. Coupled with the *±* 35 ** slew-\ning of the pointing direction every orbit, this means\nthat the entire sky is occulted every two orbits.

INTRODUCTION**\n\nThe Gamma ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on Fermi is\ncurrently the only instrument in orbit providing nearly\ncontinuous full sky coverage in the hard X-ray/low\nenergy gamma ray energy range. The Earth occul-\ntation technique, used very successfully on BATSE,\nhas been adapted to GBM. An initial catalog of 64\nsources is currently being monitored and continuously\naugmented. At energies above 100 keV, six steady\nsources (the Crab, Cyg X-1, Swift J1753.5-0127, 1E\n1740-29, Cen A, GRS 1915+105) and one transient\nsource (XTE J1752-223) have been detected in the\nfirst year of observation. We describe the instrument,\noutline the technique, and present light curves for the\nseven sources.\n**II. GBM AND THE EARTH OCCULTATION**\n**OBSERVATIONAL TECHNIQUE**\nThe Gamma ray Burst Monitor is the secondary\ninstrument onboard the Fermi satellite [1, 2]. It con-\nsists of 12 NaI detectors 5 *′′* in diameter by 0.5 *′′* thick\nmounted on the corners of the spacecraft and oriented\nsuch that they view the entire sky not occulted by the Earth. GBM also contains 2 BGO detectors 5 *′′* in di- ameter by 5 *′′* thick located on opposite sides of the\nspacecraft. None of the GBM detectors have direct\nimaging capability.\nKnown sources of gamma ray emission can be mon-\nitored with non-imaging detectors using the Earth oc-\ncultation technique, as was successfully demonstrated\nwith BATSE [3, 4]. When a source of gamma rays\nis occulted by the Earth, the count rate measured by\nthe detector will drop, producing a step-like feature.\nWhen the source reappears from behind the Earths\nlimb, the count rate will increase, producing another\nstep. The diameter of the Earth seen from Fermi is\n*∼* 140 ** , so roughly 30% of the sky is occulted by the\nEarth at any one time. Coupled with the *±* 35 ** slew-\ning of the pointing direction every orbit, this means\nthat the entire sky is occulted every two orbits.

However, a first-century ce\nburial of a 50- 60-year-old woman from Zohor is modelled only with\nScandinavian-related ancestry, providing evidence of ancestry related\nto the Scandinavian EIA appearing southwest of the range of the Wiel-\nbark archaeological complex 5,57 (Fig. 3b). Later early medieval individu-\nals from Slovakia have partial Scandinavian-related ancestry, providing\nevidence for the integration between expanding and local groups.\nNearby, in present-day Hungary, we observe Scandinavian-related\nancestry components in several burials dating to the sixth century\nce associated with Longobards (Longobard_earlyMED(I)) 10 (Fig. 2c).\nThis is consistent with the original study 10 , which reported affinity to\npresent-day groups from northwestern Europe (GBR, CEU and FIN in\nthe 1000 Genomes Project (1000GP)) 10 but which we can resolve with\n3000 BCE 2000 BCE 1000 BCE 1000 CE 2000 CE\nScandinavia\nSouthern Europe\nBritain\nCentral\nEurope\nEastern Europe\nBA\nItaly\nCentral Europe\n3000 BCE 2000 BCE\nEBA\n1000 BCE\nTime\n0 1000 CE 2000 CE\nMLBA Wielbark Middle Ages\nLate Roman/Ottoman\nEarly Medieval\nBaiuvarii\nMedieval/present day\nEarly Medieval/Longobard Iron Roman\nPresent day\nPresent day BA/Scythian\nBell Beaker/EBA\nZohor\nSoutheastern Europe\nPoland\nBritain and Ireland\nScandinavia\n**e**\n**f**\n**d**\n**c**\n**b**\n**a**\nIron Roman\nIron/Republic Imperial Late Antiquity (Early) Medieval\nEarly Medieval\nPresent day\nPresent day Medieval Iron Roman BA\nBA EIA Viking Age Medieval Present day\nDriffeld\nTerrace\nTarquinia\nLate Etruscan\n3000 BCE 2000 BCE 1000 BCE 0 1000 CE 2000 CE\n2000 BCE 0\n3000 BCE 2000 BCE 1000 BCE 0 1000 CE 2000 CE\n3000 BCE 2000 BCE 1000 BCE 0 1000 CE 2000 CE\n3000 BCE 2000 BCE 1000 BCE 0 1000 CE 2000 CE", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "pubmed3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Article High-resolution genomic history of early medieval Europe\n\n## **High-resolution genomic history of early medieval Europe**\n\n### **Expansions of Scandinavian-like ancestry**\n\nWe assembled time transects using available aDNA data across several\ngeographical regions in Europe, and infer their ancestry using a model\nwith the EIA or Roman Iron Age sources previously defined (shown in\nFig. 2a).

Specifically, individuals from Denmark (100 ce- 300 ce) were\nindistinguishable from contemporary people in the Scandinavian Pen-\ninsula (Fig. 2c). However, we observe a clear shift in genetic ancestry\nalready in the eighth century ce (Late Iron Age/early Viking Age) on\nZealand (present-day Denmark) for which a 100% EIA ancestry model\nis rejected ( *P* = 1 × 10 −17 using Twigstats; *P* = 7.5 × 10 −4 without). This\nshift in ancestry persists among later Viking Age groups in Denmark,\nwhere all groups are modelled with varying proportions of ancestry\nrelated to Iron Age continental groups in central Europe (Figs. 3f\nand 4c). A non-parametric MDS of Viking Age individuals suggests\nthat variation between individuals forms a cline spanning from the\nEIA Scandinavian Peninsula individuals to ancestry characteristic of\ncentral Europe (Fig. 4e). The observed shift in ancestry in Denmark\ncannot be confounded by potentially earlier unknown gene flow into\nIron Age source groups in Austria, France and Germany, but such gene\nflow could affect the exact ancestry proportions.\nThese patterns are consistent with northward expansion of ancestry,\npotentially starting before the Viking Age, into the Jutland peninsula\nand Zealand island towards southern Sweden. The geographical ori-\ngin of this ancestry is currently difficult to discern, as the available\nsamples from Iron Age central Europe remain sparse. The timing\nof this expansion is constrained only by the samples available: this\nancestry is not observed in individuals from the Copenhagen area of\nDenmark (around 100 ce- 300 ce) 6 , an individual from the southern tip\nof Sweden (around 500 ce) 16 , individuals from the Sandby Borg mas-\nsacre site on Öland in present-day Sweden (around 500 ce) 7 and 31 indi-\nviduals from the mid-eighth century Salme ship burials in present-day\nEstonia (Extended Data Fig. 9), who probably originated in central\nSweden 6 .

Although we detect this ances-\ntry in some individuals (7 individuals in Norway, 14 in Denmark and\n14 in Sweden), including some individuals whose ancestry appears to\nbe entirely derived from Iron Age Britain, its overall impact appears\nreduced compared with previous reports. Our analysis indicates a pro-\nportionally larger impact of ancestry from Iron Age Britain in northern\nNorway, with southern Scandinavia predominantly influenced by\ncontinental central European ancestries (Fig. 4d). We hypothesize\nthat our estimates of ancestry from Britain are reduced relative to\nprevious studies because ancestry related to Britain and continen-\ntal central Europe may have been indistinguishable. This could be\ndue to a lack of statistical power to distinguish these closely related\nsources with standard methods, as well as through potential biases\nintroduced by using modern surrogate populations that have since\nbeen influenced by later gene flow (such as gene flow into Britain).\nWe illustrate this by replicating the analyses previously described 6,7\n(Extended Data Fig. 8).\nSimilarly, a previous study has suggested that individuals at sites such\nas Kärda in southern Sweden carried ancestry from southern Europe 6 .\nIn our models, two Kärda individuals fit with central European-related\nancestry, but none of the individuals has a substantial proportion of\nancestry related to southern European sources (Extended Data Fig. 9).\nInstead, we detect ancestry from southern European sources in only\nthree individuals from Scandinavia, and in relatively small propor-\ntions (Fig. 4a).\nInterestingly, we detect ancestry from Bronze and Iron Age sources\nfrom Eastern Europe (present-day Lithuania and Poland), concentrated\nin southeastern parts of Sweden, particularly the island of Gotland\n(14 individuals; Fig. 4a).

We apply this\nframework to 1,556 available ancient whole genomes from Europe in the historical\nperiod. We are able to model individual-level ancestry using preceding genomes to\nprovide high resolution. During the first half of the first millennium ce, we observe\nat least two different streams of Scandinavian-related ancestry expanding across\nwestern, central and eastern Europe.

However, the exact nature and scale of these historically\nattested demographic phenomena—and their genetic impact—\nhave been questioned 53 , and have been difficult to test with genetic\napproaches owing to the close relations shared between many groups\nthat were ostensibly involved. Less is understood at further distances\nfrom the Roman frontier owing to a lack of historical accounts. The\nimproved statistical power of time-restricted ancestry in Twigstats\nthus offers an opportunity to revisit these questions.\nTo develop an ancestry model for early medieval individuals (Supple-\nmentary Table 1), we first need a broad characterization of the ancestry\nof the earlier sources from the early Iron Age (EIA) and Roman periods.\nWe use hierarchical UPGMA clustering based on pairwise clade testing\nbetween all individuals, and formally test the cladality of proposed\nancestry groups with qpWave 5 (cladality in this sense means whether\nthey are consistent with being symmetrically related to all other tested\ngroups; Methods).

The Baiuvarii probably appeared in the region in the\nfifth century ce 59 , but their origins remain unresolved. Our current\nbest model indicates a mixture with ancestry derived from EIA Pen-\ninsular Scandinavia and central Europe, suggesting an expansion of\nScandinavian-related ancestry producing a regional ancestry shift\n(Figs. 2c and 3c).\nIn Italy, southward expansions of northern and central European ances-\ntries appear by the Late Antiquity (approximately fourth century ce),\nwhere a clear diversification of ancestry can be observed compared\nwith preceding time periods (Fig. 3d). However, no individuals with\nnear 100% Scandinavian ancestry can be observed in the sampling\ndata available so far.\nIn Britain, the ancestries of Iron Age and Roman individuals form a\ntight cluster in our MDS analysis (Fig. 3e), shifted relative to available\npreceding Bronze Age individuals from Ireland and Orkney, and adja-\ncent to, but distinct from, available individuals in Iron Age and Roman\ncentral Europe. However, two first- to second-century ce burials from a\nRoman military fortress site in Austria (Klosterneuburg) 5 carry ancestry\nthat is currently indistinguishable from Iron Age or Roman popula-\ntions of Britain, to the exclusion of other groups (qpWave cladality\n*P* = 0.11). One option is that they had ancestry from Britain; alternatively,\ncurrently unsampled populations from western continental Europe\ncarried ancestries similar to Iron Age southern Britain.\nTwigstats substantially improves models of admixture between\nancestries from Iron Age Britain and northern Europe in early medi-\neval England 9 , halving standard errors from 9% with SNPs to 4% when\nusing time stratification (point estimates 80% and 79% Iron Age\nBritain-related ancestry, respectively).

However, the exact nature and scale of these historically\nattested demographic phenomena—and their genetic impact—\nhave been questioned 53 , and have been difficult to test with genetic\napproaches owing to the close relations shared between many groups\nthat were ostensibly involved.

INTRODUCTION**\n\nThe timescales on which high-amplitude flaring\nevents occur in blazars indicate that much of the en-\nergy is being produced deep within the jet on small,\nsub-parsec scales [1, 2]. Understanding if/how emis-\nsion differs between blazar subclasses (i.e., BL Lacs\nobjects and flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs))\nmay offer important insight into the similarity be-\ntween blazars and, furthermore, can provide con-\nstraints on the formation and acceleration of the jets\nthemselves.\nFor the synchrotron component of blazar spectra,\nthe low-frequency spectral break due to synchrotron\nself-absorption moves to higher frequencies as one\nmeasures closer to the base of the jet [2]. This of-\nten places the peak of the spectrum in the millime-\nter and submillimeter bands, where the emission is\noptically-thin and originates on parsec and sub-parsec\nscales [3], allowing direct observation of the most com-\npact regions near the central engine. The high en-\nergy *γ* -ray emission originates as a Compton process,\ntypically a combination of synchrotron-self-Compton\n(SSC) and external-radiation-Compton (ERC). De-\npending on the source properties, the synchrotron\nphotons or external photons are upscattered by the\nsame population of electrons that emit the millimeter\nand submillimeter spectra. Therefore the submillime-\nter and *γ* -ray emission are closely linked and give the\nfull information about the source emission.\nA systematic study of the submillimeter properties\nof the entire sample of *Fermi* blazars has yet to be con-\nducted and is one of the primary goals of our work.

Further the Mermaid Base will\nnot suffer operational disadvantages experienced by the adjacent Woodshed Base or nearby\nDamper Public Wharf in terms of entry and departure draft restrictions.\nThe function and purpose of Berth 1 will be:\n- To service the larger offshore supply boat market on a fast turnaround basis.\n- To receive and offload very heavy ro/ro cargoes up to 1500 tonne delivered by ocean going\nheavy lift ships and barges.\n- To handle inbound and outbound cargoes related to major offshore pipe lay projects.\n- To receive and efficiently load reel ships used for deep water small diameter pipelay.\nThe wharf will be an earth filled structure with steel sheet pile faces and concrete capping beam\nsurround. Most of the construction will be performed using land based equipment working from\nthe core of the earth filled system.\nMuch effort has gone into a design concept which allows very large cranes (>100 tonne\ncapacity) to operate without restriction on the wharf.\nThe separation between Berth 1 and Berth 2 is such to allow Road Train Triples (the max\nallowable) to turn unassisted on the wharf.\n##### **C. QUAY WALL (BERTH 2)**\nThe inner berth, Berth 2 has a minimum depth alongside of 5.0 m allowing unrestricted\noperation of all the Mermaid fleet, and the majority of other vessels servicing the offshore oil/gas\nindustry and mineral ports. This berth will offer excellent weather protection for small and\nmedium size vessels.\n##### **D. BREAKWATER.**\nThe rubble mount type breakwater will be an extension of the wharf, constructed using core and\narmor rock largely won from excavations on the Base. The excavations created will become\ndepositories for dredge spoil.\nBecause the storm surge associated with major cyclones can be up to 7 m above chart datum (low\ntide), before imposing the wave height, a fully protective breakwater is not practical.

No oil and gas work had been\nsupported out of Broome for seventeen years and with the valuable cooperation and assistance\nof the Broome Port Authority, we secured Inpex, the large Japanese resource company as our first\nclient. The base was then established early this year.\nA new focus has developed in the Browse Basin and it is pleasing to report that after only seven\nmonths operation, our Base is profitable, housing Inpex, BHP, Woodside and Sedco in support\nof their current drilling programs.

Planning services\nsuch as traffic flows, land allocation and security, as well as fulfilling the many and complex\nregulatory requirements related to health, safety, quarantine, environmental management, dust,\ndangerous goods and hazchem materials have been the subject of considerable study prior to this\nimplementation stage. 13\n* **The foreshore of King Bay will be redeveloped as part of the Mermaid Marine Dampier Base Expansion works.** *\nMERMAID MARINE\nAUSTRALIA LIMITED", + "page_start": 16, + "page_end": 16, + "source_file": "ASX_MRM_2000.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "ASX_MRM_2000.pdf", + "query": "What was the budget for the expansion of Dampier Base?", + "target_page": 14, + "target_passage": "a capital budget of $13m", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": true, + "index": 0 + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "# MERMAID MARINE AUSTRALIA LIMITED ACN 083 185 693\n\n## **-**\n\n### O P E R AT I O N S R E V I E W\n\n10\nWork on Dampier\nBase expansion commenced on 9 October and will be largely complete by June 2001, involving\na capital budget of $13m.\nThe principle activities and facility developments involved in the expansion are:\n##### **A.

The Port of Dampier is Australia’s largest Port as measured by\ntonnage, but as identified in the 1997 WA Department of Commerce and Trade report, there\nremains an urgent need for additional marine support infrastructure. Mermaid is now well advanced\nin our plan to satisfy those needs and onshore work was announced to start on the 9th October 2000.\nSince receiving approval in principle for development of the Dampier Base from the Western\nAustralian Minister for the Environment in February 2000, engineering and general design work\nin connection with the base proceeded at an accelerated pace.\nThis work, assisted by technical studies and a re-assessment of an increased demand for services\narising out of greater expectations for growth in the sector, has led to improvements and\nexpansion of capacity over earlier plans.\nThe Dampier Base will now comprise:-\nAn “all tides” approach channel to a minimum depth of 6 metres\nA wharf offering 7.5 metres depth at low tide, featuring a heavy loadout section to\naccommodate modules of up to 1500 tonnes to onshore projects on the Burrup Peninsular\nand adjacent mining centres. A subsea pipe reel loading facility will encourage the use of\nspool ships in the region for deepwater pipelay. On a project by project basis, pipeline\nprotection rock dumping, specialist vessel rig up activities and the like will be facilitated,\nas will dry and bulk cargo handling, refuelling, watering and all categories of waste\nreception. The joint Commonwealth and WA State Government initiative to establish\nan integrated industrial estate at Jervoise Bay (south of Perth) serviced by high wide load\ncorridors from Perth’s industrial areas will see the heavy capacity wharf playing a strategic\nrole in major capital works in the Pilbara, leading to significant cost savings.", + "page_start": 11, + "page_end": 11, + "source_file": "ASX_MRM_2000.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# MERMAID MARINE AUSTRALIA LIMITED ACN 083 185 693\n\n## **-**\n\n### O P E R AT I O N S R E V I E W\n\n9\nA slipway initially capable of receiving vessels up to 2,700 tonnes capacity will handle\nmost of the 60 vessels currently working in the region, a considerable number, but one\nwhich will rise over coming years. First class engineering facilities have been planned\nand highly experienced management recruited. Alternative slipways offering\ncomparable capacity are only to be found in Darwin or Fremantle, a sea journey of\napproximately 1000 miles from this operational region. Australia has emerged as a\ncentre of excellence with respect to vessel repair work, the Dampier facility will both\nbenefit from and protect that valuable reputation.\nRehabilitated land for buildings and storage will finally extend over 17 hectares. The\nmajor oilfield services company Halliburton, have been attracted to the base as a\ntenant and a $1.1m purpose built building is being constructed for their use.\nNegotiations are also proceeding with other groups who recognise the unique\nadvantages of operating from this strategically positioned Base. Rental income and\nassociated revenues such as plant and labour hire will contribute significantly to the\noverall economics of the facility.\nProtected moorings for cyclone shelter will be established inside the breakwater for\nlong term lease to local tug operators. The demand arises from serious vessel and crew\nsafety considerations. The Dampier Port Authority are reluctant to see the continued\nuse of cyclone moorings in the Harbour, not only for safety reasons, but for\nenvironmental concerns as well. Oil spills are not acceptable under any circumstances\nand will be avoided whatever the cost. Tug owners share similar concerns, but in\naddition they need to remain in a position of readiness for crews and equipment to\nresume their important functions immediately following a cyclonic event. The number\nof specific purpose spread moorings, detailed on the adjacent plan will total 10 in the\nfirst phase of construction, a limit which will be assisted by an ability to remove vessels\nup to 100 tonnes from the water by wharf crane for tie down on cradles.\nConstruction of the Dampier Base commenced on the 9th\nOctober this year, with an expectation that all major elements\nof the project will be largely completed within 12 months.\n* **The “Clough Challenge” Barge -** *\n* **Shallow Water Construction Support Barge** *\n* **in the East Spar Field** *", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 12, + "source_file": "ASX_MRM_2000.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# MERMAID MARINE AUSTRALIA LIMITED ACN 083 185 693\n\n### C H A I R M A N ’ S R E P O R T\n\nMermaid will enjoy a larger and more diversified income stream once development of the Base\nat Dampier is completed. The project, demonstrated in more detail later in this report, will\nrevolutionise our Company and drive significant changes in the way offshore producers are\nserviced in the North West of Australia.\nCoinciding with a start of Base construction, we were successful in attracting Mr Mark Bradley,\nformerly Managing Director of Clough Offshore, to join us as Mermaid’s Chief Executive.

The Port of Dampier is Australia’s largest Port as measured by\ntonnage, but as identified in the 1997 WA Department of Commerce and Trade report, there\nremains an urgent need for additional marine support infrastructure. Mermaid is now well advanced\nin our plan to satisfy those needs and onshore work was announced to start on the 9th October 2000.\nSince receiving approval in principle for development of the Dampier Base from the Western\nAustralian Minister for the Environment in February 2000, engineering and general design work\nin connection with the base proceeded at an accelerated pace.\nThis work, assisted by technical studies and a re-assessment of an increased demand for services\narising out of greater expectations for growth in the sector, has led to improvements and\nexpansion of capacity over earlier plans.\nThe Dampier Base will now comprise:-\nAn “all tides” approach channel to a minimum depth of 6 metres\nA wharf offering 7.5 metres depth at low tide, featuring a heavy loadout section to\naccommodate modules of up to 1500 tonnes to onshore projects on the Burrup Peninsular\nand adjacent mining centres. A subsea pipe reel loading facility will encourage the use of\nspool ships in the region for deepwater pipelay. On a project by project basis, pipeline\nprotection rock dumping, specialist vessel rig up activities and the like will be facilitated,\nas will dry and bulk cargo handling, refuelling, watering and all categories of waste\nreception.

Planning for this new initiative is\nwell advanced and we expect to be running courses for prospective offshore employees in coming\nmonths. Although the training program is not directed to any particular community group, it has\nbeen encouraging to have active support from Aboriginal leaders in the Kimberley region.\nWorld prospects for energy, the need for Australia to add value to its resources, Government\ninitiatives for the support of these activities and environmental imperatives, heavily favour gas,\ngiving every indication that Mermaid Marine’s development push has been extremely timely.\nIt is also important to draw attention to increased efforts in terms of health, safety and\nenvironmental protection. Our workplace is largely at sea, where operations involve natural\ndangers and the safety of our people is paramount. We also work in a setting where the tasks in\nwhich we are involved cast us in the role of environmental caretakers of the sea and coastline.\nOver the past twelve months, we have worked even more closely with producers to take this side\nof our business to the highest possible standard. We are proud of the achievement and at the time\nof this report, despite the inherent dangers involved in the work, our employees have accrued a\nrecord 348 days free of Lost Time Injuries, a tremendous effort.\nAverage turnover for the last two years was $20 million, our target in the near term is to achieve\nearnings of at least $100million, with appropriate levels of accompanying profit.

DREDGING**\nApproximately 700,000 m3 of material is to be dredged in King Bay to form an entrance\nchannel, vessel berths, cyclone moorings and to provide access to the slipway.\nThe experience of Woodside constructing their nearby base in 1981 indicates that two types of\ndredges will be required, a Cutter Suction to remove the soft unconsolidated material (approx.70%)\nand a Dipper Dredge (barge mounted back-hoe) to remove harder consolidated material.\nThe Cutter Suction dredge size will be deliberately modest due to onshore spoil management\nrequirement and environmental considerations.\nThe Dipper Dredge will be the largest of its type in the world, and will be an ideal remedial\ndredging tool using the experience gained from the earlier Woodside project.\nThe layout of the Base has been very much driven by the desire to avoid or minimize blasting\nwhile fulfilling functional objectives.\nThe entrance channel into the Mermaid Base will be 30 m wide and dredged to 6 m below chart\ndatum. The dredge spoil will be pumped ashore and used as fill around the Base.\nDredges are expected to be onsite for approximately 7 months commencing mid November.\n##### **B. QUAY WALL ( BERTH 1)**\nMarket research and customer needs have caused Mermaid to relocate and redesign the main\nberth to accommodate a wider range of vessels than originally contemplated. The berth is now\nlocated in deeper water with better vessel access.\nThe regional offshore fleet characteristics have been changing in terms of vessel size. There are\nnow four vessels operating in the region with 12,000 to 18,000 hp. When design commenced\nthere were none of this size.\nThe depth alongside Berth 1 will be 7.5m.

Any other uses require the\nprior written consent of the Lessor.\nRestrictions apply to the assignment or subletting of the site (or any part) without prior consent of the\nLessor, although that consent cannot unreasonably be withheld (subject to “usual” prudential\nrequirements common to leases in Western Australia).\n51", + "page_start": 54, + "page_end": 54, + "source_file": "ASX_MRM_2000.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# MERMAID MARINE AUSTRALIA LIMITED ACN 083 185 693\n\n## **-**\n\n### O P E R AT I O N S R E V I E W\n\n19\nDarwin is serviced by three marine infrastructure elements.\na. A public port adjacent to the main business centre, which is destined to be redeveloped\nas a cruise ship and tourism precinct .\nb. A group of freehold water front properties on Frances Bay near to the main business\ncenter.\nc. A recently commissioned public port and industrial estate at East Arm some 25 km from\nthe main business district.\nDarwin already has an abundance of shore based logistics service providers who operate from\nonshore industrial estates through publicly owned facilities.\nThe Northern Territory Government has sponsored a study to determine the marine\ninfrastructure deficits of the Darwin area. Mermaid has contributed to the study and is\nmonitoring the subsequent planning processes.\nRegardless of industry trends, Mermaid has a need for a Darwin Base to service and care for\nMermaid vessels working in the area. Too often vessels have been demobilised to Dampier at the\nconclusion of a contract then being required to return to Darwin within days or weeks for\nanother assignment.\nMermaid has decided that needs and opportunities in the north of Australia can be best served by\nentering a co-operative arrangement with an established Darwin Company. Agreement has therefore\nbeen reached with Perkins Shipping Group, who are one of the freehold land owners on Frances Bay.\nPerkins Shipping, established in the 1950s is the major coastal shipping service provider in\nAustralia’s north, linking Darwin to mining and aboriginal committees from the Kimberly to\nGulf of Carpenteria. Additionally Perkins operate services to East Timor, mining operations in\nIndonesia, as well as Singapore and East Malaysia. The Perkins and Mermaid businesses are\ndifferent, but complementary, offering benefits to both. The arrangement with Perkins will give\nMermaid well placed office facilities, open storage and waterfront access.\nOur intention is that Darwin become the third and final mainland entreport to service the\nNorthwestern offshore oil and gas industry together with our other strategically placed facilities\nat Dampier and Broome.", + "page_start": 22, + "page_end": 22, + "source_file": "ASX_MRM_2000.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# MERMAID MARINE AUSTRALIA LIMITED ACN 083 185 693\n\n## **-**\n\n### O P E R AT I O N S R E V I E W\n\nthe intention of operators to base their 2001 operations in Broome, have encouraged the Board\nto consider further investment to ensure that capability keeps pace with demand and that we\nleave no reason for competitors to offer more or better.\nThe offshore waters of the Northern Territory, the Zone of Co-Operation (ZOCA) between Australia\nand Timor, and the Commonwealth Territory of Ashmore and Cartier host approximately 35% of the\nexploration and development budgets of Australian offshore oil and gas industry.\nTwo large projects are under study or implementation in these waters; the Phillips Petroleum\nBayu-Undang Project and the Woodside Sunrise Troubador Project.\nTwo large petrochemical projects are under study for the Darwin area based upon pipelines from\nthe Timor Sea gas resources of the projects above.\nDarwin will within 3 years be the northern terminus of the Australian national rail system with the\ncompletion of the Alice Springs Darwin rail link, further expanding its role in Australia’s economy.\nB RO O M E S U P P LY B A S E\nDA RW I N B A S E\n* **The Mermaid Broome Supply Base certified Impex, Woodside** *\n* **and BHP Petroleum exploration program during 2000.** *", + "page_start": 21, + "page_end": 21, + "source_file": "ASX_MRM_2000.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# MERMAID MARINE AUSTRALIA LIMITED ACN 083 185 693\n\n## **-**\n\n### O P E R AT I O N S R E V I E W\n\nleased facilities to seven third party vessels and protection for three of our own vessels using this\ntechnique by the cyclone season in 2001.\nAs more vessels seek protection, additional breakwaters can be constructed and sea room\ndredged.

ONSHORE LAND RECLAMATION.**\nLike our neighbours, much of the Mermaid site is below the prescribed storm surge level, or\nneeds some degree of earthworks to maximize its value. Currently 8 of the 17 ha of the area is\nsuitable for development in its present state.\nThe spoil produced from dredging will allow Mermaid to achieve full utilization of the site at a\nfraction of the cost of importing fill from elsewhere.\nConsiderable effort has gone into anticipating the future direction of the Base. Planning services\nsuch as traffic flows, land allocation and security, as well as fulfilling the many and complex\nregulatory requirements related to health, safety, quarantine, environmental management, dust,\ndangerous goods and hazchem materials have been the subject of considerable study prior to this\nimplementation stage. 13\n* **The foreshore of King Bay will be redeveloped as part of the Mermaid Marine Dampier Base Expansion works.** *\nMERMAID MARINE\nAUSTRALIA LIMITED", + "page_start": 16, + "page_end": 16, + "source_file": "ASX_MRM_2000.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "Word QS.pdf", + "query": "How do I create a new document in Word?", + "target_page": 2, + "target_passage": "Just select File > New", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": true, + "index": 0 + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "# Word\n\nCreate something\nBegin with a **Blank document** to get right to work.

The meat products are sold fresh, frozen, cured, smoked, cooked and\ncanned. The percentages of total revenues contributed by classes of similar products for the last three fiscal years of the Company are as follows:\n\nPerishable meat 50.3% 53.0% 54.7%\nNonperishable meat 18.9 19.8 21.0\nPoultry 22.1 22.6 20.3\nOther 8.7 4.6 4.0\n\n100.0% 100.0% 100.0%\n\nReporting of revenues from external customers is based on similarity of products, as the same or similar products are sold across multiple distribution\nchannels such as retail, foodservice or international. Revenues reported are based on financial information used to produce the Company's general-\npurpose financial statements.\nPerishable meat includes fresh meats, sausages, hams, wieners and bacon (excluding JOTS products.) Nonperishable meat includes canned luncheon\nmeats, shelf stable microwaveable entrees, stews, chilies, hash, meat spreads and other items that do not require refrigeration as well as frozen\nprocessed products. The Poultry category is composed primarily of JOTS products. The Other category primarily consists of nutritional food products and\nsupplements, sugar and sugar substitutes, salt and pepper products, dessert mixes, food packaging (casings for dry sausage), and industrial gelatin\nproducts. The Other category has increased over the past two years primarily due to the following acquisitions: Century Foods International (July 2003),\nDiamond Crystal Brands (December 2002), and Diamond Crystal Brands Nutritional Products (April 2001).\nNo new product in fiscal 2003 required a material investment of Company assets.\nDomestically, the Company sells its products in all 50 states. Hormel products are sold through Company sales personnel, operating in assigned\nterritories coordinated from district sales offices located in most of the larger U.S. cities, as well as independent brokers and distributors. As of\nOctober 25, 2003, the Company had approximately 600 sales personnel engaged in selling its products. Distribution of products to customers is by\ncommon carrier.\n\nThrough HFIC, the Company markets its products in various locations throughout the world. Some of the larger markets include Australia, Canada,\nChina, England, Japan, Mexico and Micronesia. The distribution of export sales to customers is by common carrier, while the China operations own and\noperate their own delivery system. The Company, through HFIC, has licensed companies to manufacture various Hormel products internationally on a", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "NYSE_HRL_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Hormel Foods Annual Report 2004 Form 10-K (NYSE:HRL)\n\n## **1 HORMEL PLACE AUSTIN, MINNESOTA 55912-3680**\n\n##### **(d)** * **Executive Officers of the Registrant** *\n\n51 percent of Specialty Foods, and 27 percent of All Other. The loss of one or more of the top customers in any of these segments could have a material\nadverse effect on the results of such segment. Backlog orders are not significant due to the perishable nature of a large portion of the products. Orders\nare accepted and shipped on a current basis.\n##### **Competition**\nThe production and sale of meat and food products in the United States and internationally are highly competitive. The Company competes with\nmanufacturers of pork and turkey products, as well as national and regional producers of other meat and protein sources, such as beef, chicken and fish.\nThe Company believes that its largest domestic competitors for its Refrigerated Foods segment in 2003 were Tyson Foods, Smithfield Foods and\nConAgra Foods; for its Grocery Products segment, ConAgra Foods, Dial Corp. and Campbell Soup Co.; and for JOTS, ConAgra Foods and Cargill, Inc.\nAll Hormel segments compete on the basis of price, product quality, brand identification and customer service. Through aggressive marketing and strong\nquality assurance programs, the Company's strategy is to provide higher quality products that possess strong brand recognition, which would then\nsupport higher value perceptions from customers.\nThe Company competes using this same strategy in international markets around the world.\n\n##### **Research and Development**\nResearch and development continues to be a vital part of the Company's strategy to extend existing brands and expand into new branded items. The\nexpenditures for research and development for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were $13,165,000, $12,097,000 and $11,478,000. There are 42\nprofessional employees engaged in full time research, 19 in the area of improving existing products and 23 in developing new products.\n##### **Employees**\nAs of October 25, 2003, the Company had over 16,000 active employees.\n##### **(d)** * **Executive Officers of the Registrant** *\n\nJoel W.

The Company holds seven foreign and 47 U.S. issued\npatents. Some of the trademarks are registered and some are not. In recognition of the importance of these assets, the Company created a subsidiary,\nHormel Foods, LLC, in 1998 to create, own, maintain and protect most of the Company's trademarks and patents.

The loss of one or more of the top customers in any of these segments could have a material\nadverse effect on the results of such segment. Backlog orders are not significant due to the perishable nature of a large portion of the products. Orders\nare accepted and shipped on a current basis.\n##### **Competition**\nThe production and sale of meat and food products in the United States and internationally are highly competitive. The Company competes with\nmanufacturers of pork and turkey products, as well as national and regional producers of other meat and protein sources, such as beef, chicken and fish.\nThe Company believes that its largest domestic competitors for its Refrigerated Foods segment in 2003 were Tyson Foods, Smithfield Foods and\nConAgra Foods; for its Grocery Products segment, ConAgra Foods, Dial Corp. and Campbell Soup Co.; and for JOTS, ConAgra Foods and Cargill, Inc.\nAll Hormel segments compete on the basis of price, product quality, brand identification and customer service. Through aggressive marketing and strong\nquality assurance programs, the Company's strategy is to provide higher quality products that possess strong brand recognition, which would then\nsupport higher value perceptions from customers.\nThe Company competes using this same strategy in international markets around the world.\n\n##### **Research and Development**\nResearch and development continues to be a vital part of the Company's strategy to extend existing brands and expand into new branded items. The\nexpenditures for research and development for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were $13,165,000, $12,097,000 and $11,478,000. There are 42\nprofessional employees engaged in full time research, 19 in the area of improving existing products and 23 in developing new products.\n##### **Employees**\nAs of October 25, 2003, the Company had over 16,000 active employees.\n##### **(d)** * **Executive Officers of the Registrant** *\n\nJoel W.

The Company is primarily engaged in the production of a variety of meat and food products and the marketing of\nthose products throughout the United States. Although pork and turkey remain the major raw materials for Hormel products, the Company has\nemphasized for several years the manufacture and distribution of branded, consumer packaged items rather than the commodity fresh meat business.\nThe Company's branding strategy led to the development of a joint venture between Hormel Foods Corporation and Excel Corporation, a wholly owned\nsubsidiary of Cargill Incorporated.

The Turkey Store Company was a turkey\nprocessing business headquartered in Barron, Wisconsin. The merged JOTS operation is currently the largest turkey processor in the world. JOTS\nmarkets its turkey products through its own sales force and independent brokers.\nThe acquisitions of Diamond Crystal Brands Nutritional Products in fiscal 2001 and the Century Foods International business in July of fiscal 2003\nstrengthened the Company's presence in the nutritional food products and supplements market. The Company currently operates as one of the largest\ncompanies providing nutritional products to the U.S. healthcare industry.\nThe Company acquired the Diamond Crystal Brands business from Imperial Sugar Co. in December of fiscal 2003. Diamond Crystal Brands packages\nand sells various sugar, sugar substitute, salt and pepper products, savory products, drink mixes and dessert mixes to retail and foodservice customers.\nInternationally, the Company markets its products through Hormel Foods International Corporation (HFIC), a wholly owned subsidiary. HFIC has a\npresence in the international marketplace through joint ventures and placement of personnel in strategic foreign locations such as China, Spain, and the\nPhilippines. HFIC also has a global presence with minority positions in food companies in Spain (Campofrio Alimentacion S.A., 15% holding) and the\nPhilippines (Purefoods-Hormel, 40% holding).\n\nThe Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings during its history.

An EU Nature Restoration Plan: restoring ecosystems across land and sea**\n\n#### *2.2.2.* *Bringing nature back to agricultural land*\n\nAs guardians of our land, farmers play a vital role in preserving biodiversity. They are among the first to feel the consequences when biodiversity is lost but also among the first to reap the benefits when it is restored. Biodiversity enables them to provide us with **safe, sustainable, nutritious and affordable food** and provides them with the income they need to thrive and develop. European farmers are an essential part of the EU’s future and must continue to be the social and economic hub of many communities across our Union.\nAt the same time, certain agricultural practices are a key driver of biodiversity decline. This is why it is important to work with farmers to **support and incentivise the transition to fully sustainable practices** . Improving the condition and diversity of agroecosystems will increase the sector’s resilience to climate change, environmental risks and socioeconomic shocks, while creating new jobs, for example in organic farming, rural tourism or recreation.\nTo support the long-term sustainability of both nature and farming, this strategy will work in tandem with the new **Farm to Fork Strategy** and the **new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)** , including by promoting eco-schemes and result-based payment schemes. In implementing the Biodiversity and the Farm to Fork Strategies, the Commission will closely monitor progress and improvements in terms of food security and farmers income. The Commission will ensure that the CAP Strategic plans are assessed against robust climate and environmental criteria, and that Member States set explicit national values for the relevant targets set in this strategy, as well as in the Farm to Fork Strategy. These plans should lead to sustainable practices such as precision agriculture, organic farming, agro-ecology, agro-forestry, low-intensive permanent grassland, and stricter animal welfare standards.", + "page_start": 7, + "page_end": 7, + "source_file": "legal5_eubiodiversity_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# EN EN\n\n## **2.

An EU Nature Restoration Plan: restoring ecosystems across land and sea**\n\n#### *2.2.2.* *Bringing nature back to agricultural land*\n\nFarmland birds and insects, particularly pollinators, are key indicators of the health of agroecosystems and are vital for agricultural production and food security. Their alarming decline must be reversed. As set out in the Farm to Fork Strategy, the Commission will take action to reduce by **50% the overall use of - and risk from - chemical pesticides by 2030** and reduce by 50% the use of more hazardous pesticides by 2030. This must be supported by the full implementation of the EU Pollinators initiative 31 . By the end of 2020, the Commission will review the initiative and propose additional measures if necessary. To provide space for wild animals, plants, pollinators and natural pest regulators, there is an urgent need to bring back **at least 10% of agricultural area under high-diversity landscape features** . These include, *inter alia* , buffer strips, rotational or non-rotational fallow land, hedges, non-productive trees, terrace walls, and ponds. These help enhance carbon sequestration, prevent soil erosion and depletion, filter air and water, and support climate adaptation. In addition, more biodiversity often helps lead to more agricultural production. Member States will need to translate the 10% EU target to a lower geographical scale to ensure connectivity among habitats, especially through the CAP instruments and CAP Strategic Plans, in line with the Farm to Fork Strategy, and through the implementation of the Habitats Directive. The\n\n[EU Pollinators initiative](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1528213737113&uri=CELEX:52018DC0395) (COM(2018) 395).\nprogress towards the target will be under constant review, and adjustment if needed, to\nmitigate against undue impact on biodiversity, food security and farmers’ competitiveness.\nAgroecology can provide healthy food while maintaining productivity, increase soil fertility and biodiversity, and reduce the footprint of food production. Organic farming in particular holds great potential for farmers and consumers alike. The sector creates jobs and attracts young farmers. Organic farming also provides 10-20 % more jobs per hectare than conventional farms, and creates added value for agricultural products 32 . To make the most of this potential, at least **25% of the EU’s agricultural land must be organically farmed by 2030** . In addition to CAP measures, the Commission will put forward an Action Plan on organic farming, helping Member States stimulate both supply and demand of organic products. It will also ensure consumer’s trust through promotion campaigns and green public procurement. In the implementation of the EU-wide agro- ecological targets set out in this strategy and in the Farm to Fork Strategy, the different starting points and differences in progress already made in Member States will be taken into account.", + "page_start": 7, + "page_end": 8, + "source_file": "legal5_eubiodiversity_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Research Changes in climate extremes, fresh water availability and vulnerability to food insecurity [...]\n\n## 2.

From the spatial distribution, the gross maize yield in the top 5 high-yield countries (including the United States, China, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico) would decrease by 2% under global warming by 1.5 °C and 11.4% under global warming by 2.0 °C. At the global level, the market price for maize would increase by 0.7% and 3.4% under 1.5 °C scenario and 2.0 °C scenario, respectively, which would vary quite largely among different countries and regions. So, it is urgent for all countries to pay enough attention to the loss risk of maize yield and take actions of mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

Such data, even if of strategic importance as is the case with digital\ncartography, are only a minimal fraction of all the PSI that could and should be opened to increase\ntransparency, reduce the costs of Government and stimulate the economy.

Therefore, there surely is space for both\nintentional manipulation of PSI and for misunderstanding it. After the publication of the first report,\nwe've encountered several examples of this danger, which are reported in the rest of this paragraph.\nBefore describing those cases, and in spite of them, it is necessary to point out one thing. While the\nimpact on the general public (in terms of raising interest and enhancing participation) on the Open\nData activity of 2010 is been, in many cases and as of today, still minimal, it is also true that there\nhas been no big increase in demagogy, more or less manipulated scandals and conflictual discussion\ncaused by Open Data. There has certainly been something of this in the Cablegate but that's not\nreally relevant because, as we've already explained, what Wikileaks did is intrinsically different\nfrom Open Data. So far, negative or at least controversial reactions by manipulation and\nmisunderstanding of Open Data haven't happened to such a scale to justify not opening PSI.\nThis said, let's look at some recent example of misunderstanding and/or manipulation based on\n(sometimes open) public digital data.\nNicolas Kayser-Bril [mentioned](http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15000252,00.html) a digital map of all the religious places in Russia, that shows\n[also] *\"mosques that are no longer in use, so as to convey the idea that Muslims were invading*\n*Russia.\"*\nIn September 2010 the Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanology [officially declared ](http://www.repubblica.it/scienze/2010/09/06/news/boschi_terremoti-6800976/)\nin September 2010 that they were evaluating whether to stop publishing online Italy's seismic data,\nas they had been doing for years.

Even bigger problems and\ninefficiencies can be introduced at the beginning of data life, that is when data collection and\nprocessing services are procured. We've already explained that forgetting to impose the right license\nis one of the problems, but it's not the only one. Even future *organization* of all the foreseeable data\nmanagement activities should take advantage of the flexibility provided by data openness. Here is\nhow Tim Davies [summarizes this point](http://www.practicalparticipation.co.uk/odi/2011/01/four-other-places-to-look-for-the-impact-of-open-government-data/) :\nRight now [public] bodies often procure data collection, data publishing and data\ninterfaces all in one block (as seems to be the case with Oxfordshires real-time bus\ninformation - leading to a roadblock on innovation) - and so without these layers being\nseparated in procurement, some of the benefits here stand to be lost.\nChanging procurement of information/data-rich public services would be, of course, only the first\nstep of a general reform of procurement laws and regulations. After management of Open Data has\nbeen simplified, it becomes time to implement similar simplifications to procurement of everything\nelse. In fact, in such a scenario, there would be much less possibilities for the loopholes, frauds and\ninefficiencies that forced local procurement procedures to become so slow and complicated: since\nthe public budget and other relevant public data would already be fully open, errors and other\nproblems would surface and be fixed much more quickly and reliably than today, even assuming\nthat they would continue to appear with the same frequency.", + "page_start": 29, + "page_end": 29, + "source_file": "Open_Data_Report.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Open Data: Emerging trends, issues and best practices a research project about openness of public[...]\n\n## **2. Social and political landscape**\n\nservices and the whole welfare state won't remain sustainable for long with traditional means,\ncontinue to arrive, therefore strengthening the search for radical, innovative and cost-effective\nsolutions.\nBesides costs, another practical driver and justification for Open Data that is becoming more and\n*4/34*\nmore concrete over time is damage control. In a world that produces digital data without\ninterruption, uncontrolled and unpredictable data releases are facts of life that are very hard to\npredict, practically impossible to avoid and increasingly common. Opening public government data,\nthat is providing plenty of officially verified information, becomes therefore also a damage control\nsolution, to prevent or at least minimize damages from such uncontrolled releases. Without official\nOpen Public Data, individual citizens, political parties or other organizations will start to process\nand compare (if they already aren't...) data from unofficial sources anyway, maybe from different\ncountries. In such cases, it will be unavoidable not reach sometimes, even in good faith, wrong\nconclusions. This is not some theoretical possibility far in the future, as this real world example\n(from a comment to an [Open Data discussion in an italian blog](http://www.cottica.net/2010/09/16/spaghetti-open-data-reloaded/) ) proves:\n\" *on the* *[non italian]* *Geonames website you can download geo-referenced data*\n*about... 47000 Italian municipalities.

As\nother suggestions made here, these are activities that should start at the city and regional level, first\nwith custom-made education initiatives, then with specific data-based services.

At the end of 2010, T. Steinberg [wrote](thttp://steiny.typepad.com/premise/2010/11/open-data-how-not-to-cock-it-up.html) that the idea that\nGovernment should publish everything non-private it can **now** is \"rather dangerous\", and that it\nwould be much better to release nothing until someone actually asked for it, and at that point doing\nit right, that is with an open license and so on.

The privacy problem**\n\nanalysis possible would be a totally different matter.\nGetting rid of all the unjustified concerns about privacy is very simple, at least in theory. All is\nneeded to dismiss for good the idea that Open Data is a generalized attack to privacy is to always\nremember and explain that:\n1. Most Open Data have nothing personal to begin with (examples: digital maps, budgets, air\npollution measurements....)\n2. The majority of data that are directly related to individuals (e.g. things like names and\naddress of people with specific diseases, or who were victims of some crime) have no reason\nto be published, **nor there is any actual demand for them by Open Data advocates**\n3. Exceptions that limit privacy for specific cases and categories of people (e.g. candidates to\npublic offices, Government and Parliament members etc...) already exist in many countries\n4. Very often, in practice, Open Data struggles only happen about *when and how* to make\navailable in the most effective way for society information that was *already* recognized as\npublic. *What* to declare public, hence open, is indeed a serious issue (more on this in the next\nparagraph) but is a separate one.", + "page_start": 22, + "page_end": 22, + "source_file": "Open_Data_Report.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Open Data: Emerging trends, issues and best practices a research project about openness of public[...]\n\n## **2.

But in any\ncase, Open Data means that the involved government officials aren't just prepared to see that data\npublished, they know and accept it from the start. In such a context, some risks associated to\nWikileaks, like the fact that the leaker lacks the means to influence the downstream use of the\ninformation, and therefore may harm anybody connected to the linked information, are almost non-\nexistent.\nAbove all, unlike the content of most Wikileaks documents, Open Data are almost always data that\nshould surely be open, unlike wartime military reports, and that almost never contain any personal\ninformation. In summary, whatever the conclusions about Wikileaks are, they could not be\nconclusions against Open Data, because there are too many differences between the two\nmovements.", + "page_start": 5, + "page_end": 5, + "source_file": "Open_Data_Report.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Open Data: Emerging trends, issues and best practices a research project about openness of public[...]\n\n## **3. Emerging trends and issues related to Open**\n\n### **3.3. Legal issues remain crucial**\n\nProper licensing of Public data is essential. The more Open Data activities continue, the clearer this\nrule becomes. What distinguishes Open Data from \"mere\" transparency is reuse. Paraphrasing\nEaves, until a government get the licensing issue right, Open Data cannot bring all the possible\nbenefits in that country. If there are no guarantees that public data can be used without restriction,\nvery little happens in practice, and when it happens it may be something against the public interest.\nCanadian Company Public Engines Inc, that is paid by local police departments to collect, process\nand analyze official crime data, also publishes online, with a proprietary license, anonymized\nsummaries of those data. When in 2010 another company, Report See Inc, scraped those data from\ntheir website to reuse them, Public Engines sued.\nReporting this, D. Eaves [rightly points out](http://eaves.ca/2010/09/21/does-your-government-and-thus-you-actually-own-its-data/) that *both* companies are right: one is trying to protect its\ninvestment, the other is simply trying to reuse what IS public data, by getting it from the ONLY\nplace where it's available. This is what happens when public officials leave the ownership of *public*\ndata to the third parties hired to collect them. Please note that, in practice, it makes very little\ndifference whether those third parties are private, for-profit corporations or even other Public\nAdministrations. Unless, of course, there are national laws already in place that define in advance\nwhat is the license of all present and future Public Data, *no matter how they were generated and by*\n*whom* , those data can be lost in any moment for society. In all other cases, the legal status of data\nwill be either officially closed and locked, or uncertain enough to prevent most or all reuses. In\nFebruary 2011, the [news came](http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110221/01191413180/privatization-public-data-sets-bad-precedent.shtml) that, even if they weren't the original copyright holders, Public\nEngines had been able to put together enough legal claims to convince Report See to give up.\nDisputes like this should not happen and would not happen if all contracts regarding collection and", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 12, + "source_file": "Open_Data_Report.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Open Data: Emerging trends, issues and best practices a research project about openness of public[...]\n\n## **2. Social and political landscape**\n\n### **2.1. Wikileaks and the Open Data movement**\n\nDuring the 2010/2011 winter the discussions around the Cablegate and other documents published\nby Wikileaks have, in some occasion, included hostility towards Open Data. This is a consequence\nof a more or less conscious mixing of the two themes, because in a very general sense, both Open\nData and Wikileaks are about transparency, accountability and democracy.\nAs far as this study is concerned, two conclusions can be drawn from the Cablegate/Wikileaks\nscandal.\nThe first is that, in practice, it is necessary to find and equilibrium between secrecy and\ntransparency whenever government activities are concerned. Citizens must be able to know what\nthe state is *actually* doing but sometimes, be it for careful evaluation of all the alternatives or\nbecause of security, it must be possible to work behind closed doors, [at least temporarily](http://www.shirky.com/weblog/2010/12/wikileaks-and-the-long-haul/) . We'll\ncome back to this point later in this report.\nThe second conclusion is that, while certainly both Open Data and Wikileaks are about openness\nand transparency in politics, not only there are deep differences between the two ideas but, in our\n*5/34*\nopinion, the Wikileaks experience proves the advantages of Open Data.\nWas Wikileaks right to publish the cable? Were the specific facts and behaviors uncovered by\nCablegate right or wrong?

The privacy problem**\n\nBeing perceived as a lethal attack to privacy remains one of the biggest misunderstandings that\nprevents adoption of Open Data. On one hand, there is no doubt that in an increasingly digital world\nit becomes harder and harder to protect privacy. But, exactly *because* the whole world is going\ndigital, attacks to privacy and to civil rights in general can and are coming by so many other sides\nthat those from (properly done) Open Data are a really tiny percentage of the total.\nThis is a consequence of the fact that data about us end up online from the most different sources\n(including ourselves and our acquaintances), and that often it would be very hard to discover, never\nmind *prove* , that they've been used against our interest. There have been concerns, for example, that\ninsurance companies may charge higher fees for life insurance to those among their customers\nwho... put online a family tree from which it shows that they come from families with an average\nlife expectancy lower than usual.\nAssuming such concerns were real, would it always be possible to spot and prove such abuses of\ndata, that weren't even published by any Public Administration?

Legal issues remain crucial**\n\nmanagement of PSI clearly specified that all the resulting data either go directly into the public\ndomain (after being anonymized if necessary, of course) or remain exclusive property of the\ngovernment. Even ignoring data openness, this is essential for at least three other reasons. The first\nis to protect a public administration from having to pay *twice* for those data, if it needs it again in\nthe future for some other internal activity, not explicitly mentioned in the initial contract. The\nsecond reason is to not spend more than what is absolutely necessary to respond to public records\nrequests, that is to comply with Freedom of Information laws.\nThe final reason is to guarantee quality assurance and detection of abuses at the smallest cost, that is\nsharing it with all the citizens using the public services based on those data. A [real world example ](http://blog.okfn.org/2010/10/29/open-data-in-public-private-partnerships-how-citizens-can-become-true-watchdogs/)\nof this point comes from the \"Where's My Villo?\" service in Brussels.

The availability of bikes and parking\nspaces of each station is published online in real time on the official Villo's website.\nWhen the quality of service decreased, some citizens started \"Where's My Villo?\", another website\nthat reuses those data to measure where and how often there aren't enough available bikes and\nparking spaces, in a way that made it impossible for JCDecaux to deny the problems and stimulated\nit to fix them.

A similar statistical approach was taken for T1w-derived subcortical volume estimates. We\nran a multivariate regression analysis predicting GMV changes over gestation in 28 regions-of-interest by gestation week\n(FDR-corrected at q < 0.05).\n\nT2-weighted MTL scans:\nTo evaluate the relationship between gestation week and medial temporal lobe (MTL) subregion volume over pregnancy (n =\n7 bilateral subregions; n = 18 MTL scans), we used a combination of linear and non-linear models based on individual\nsubregion data patterns. Models were compared for best fit with each subregion via AIC from the GLM output (as described\n5\nnature portfolio | reporting summary\nApril 2023\nabove). A linear regression model was most appropriate for PHC (AICdiff < 3), whereas a quadratic model performed best for\nCA1 and CA2/3. As a control, we repeated the analyses with MTL subregion volumes after proportional volume correction of\ntotal gray matter volume calculated by ASHS. Finally, we evaluated the relationship between endogenous sex hormones\n(estrogen and progesterone) and subregion volumes using linear regression. Relationships were considered significant only if\nthey met FDR correction at q < .05.\n\nDiffusion imaging:\nDSI Studio’s correlational tractography (Yeh et al., 2016) was used to analyze the relationship between white matter\nstructure and gestational week (n = 16).

A non-parametric\nSpearman correlation was used to derive the correlation between gestational week and endocrine factors and our metrics of\ninterest (QA and MD; see Table S9 and Fig. S10 for MD results) because the data were not normally distributed. Statistical\ninference was reached using connectometry, a permutation-based approach that tests the strength of coherent associations\nfound between the local connectome and our variables of interest. It provides higher reliability and replicability by correcting\nfor multiple comparisons. This technique provides a high-resolution characterization of local axonal orientation. The\ncorrelational tractography was run with the following parameters: T-score threshold of 2.5, 4 pruning iterations, and a length\nthreshold of 25 voxel distance. To estimate the false discovery rate (FDR), a total of 4000 randomized permutations were\napplied to obtain the null distribution of the track length.

We then narrowed our analyses to the first 19\nsessions (baseline—36 weeks gestation) to assess novel brain changes\noccurring over the gestational window. We first computed Pearson’s\nproduct-moment correlation matrices between the following vari -\nables: gestation week, estradiol, progesterone and the 17 network-level\naverage GMV values. We then ran a multivariate regression analysis\npredicting ROI-level GMV changes by gestation week. To identify which\nregions were changing at a rate different from the global decrease,\nwe then ran the analyses again to include total GMV in the regression\nmodel (Supplementary Table 2). This was extended to the network\nlevel, where we ran partial correlations accounting for total GMV. These\nsame analyses were then run with CT measures. Globally-corrected\nresults provided in Supplementary Tables 1- 5. Percent change at the\nnetwork level was computed by subtracting the final pregnancy value\n(36 weeks pregnant) from the first prepregnancy baseline value, then\ndividing that difference by said first prepregnancy baseline value. All\nanalyses underwent multiple comparisons testing (false discovery rate\n(FDR)-corrected at *q* < 0.05).\n*Subcortical GMV* . A similar statistical approach was taken for subcorti-\ncal volume estimates. We ran a multivariate regression analysis predict-\ning GMV changes over gestation in 28 ROIs (Supplementary Fig. 6a) by\ngestation week (FDR-corrected at *q* < 0.05).\nTo evaluate the relationship between gestation week and MTL\nsubregion volume over pregnancy ( *n* = 7 bilateral subregions and\n*n* = 18 MTL scans), we used a combination of linear and nonlinear\nmodels based on individual subregion data patterns.

The participant gave written informed consent and\nthe study was approved by the University of California, Irvine Human\nSubjects Committee.\n**Study design**\nThe participant underwent 26 MRI scanning sessions from 3 weeks\nbefore conception through 2 years postpartum (162 weeks), during\nwhich high-resolution anatomical and diffusion spectrum imaging\nscans of the brain were acquired. Scans were distributed throughout\nthis period, including prepregnancy (four scans), first trimester (four\nscans), second trimester (six scans), third trimester (five scans) and\npostpartum (seven scans; Fig. 1c ). The first 6 sessions took place at\nthe UCSB Brain Imaging Center (BIC), the final 20 sessions took place\nat the UCI Facility for Imaging and Brain Research (FIBRE).

While mean FWD did correspond with gesta-\ntion week ( *r* = 0.88, *P* < 0.001), controlling for this did not alter our main\nfindings (for example, total GMV remained negatively associated with\ngestation after partial correlation with FWD ( *r* = −0.87 and *P* < 0.001)\nbecause motion differences between stages were minuscule (Sup-\nplementary Fig. 4a).\nAs a further test of the robustness of the dataset, we ran QC assess-\nments on all T1w images using the IQMs pipeline 64 from MRIQC (ver-\nsion 23.1). Assessments of interest included (1) coefficient of joint\nvariation (CJV), (2) signal-to-noise ratio for gray matter (SNR) and (3)\ncontrast-to-noise ratios (CNR). All QC metrics fell within expected\nstandard ranges 65 (Supplementary Fig. 4b- d). Although relationships\nexisted between gestation week and QC measures (CJV, *r* = 0.70 and\n*P* < 0.001; SNR and CNR, *r* = −0.83 and *P* < 0.001), including these vari-\nables in the regression models did not detract from our finding sug-\ngesting cortical GMV reductions occur over gestation, especially within\nregions belonging to attention and somatosensory networks (Supple-\nmentary Fig. 5). When looking across all MRIQC outputs, discrepancies\nwere noted in session seven (gestation week nine, first trimester).\nRemoving this day from the analyses only strengthened observed\nrelationships between cortical volume and gestation; however, for\ncompleteness, data from this day is included in the main findings.\nThese QC outputs for each session of the experiment can be found\nin Supplementary Data 1. Finally, we used FreeSurfer’s Eueler num-\nber to evaluate a field-standard quantitative assessment of each T1w\nstructural image 66 . We observed no significant relationships between\nthe Euler number and gestation week or summary brain metrics.

Pinpointing the synchrony of gray and\nwhite matter changes that unfold in the maternal brain could be\nkey to understanding the behavioral adaptions that emerge during\nand after pregnancy, such as honing the brain’s visual and auditory\nresponses to infant cues and eliciting maternal behavior. Research\ninto other major transition periods supports this idea. For instance,\nadolescence is a dynamic period characterized by region-specific,\nnonlinear decreases in GMV and increases in WMV, maturational\nbrain changes that are tied to gains in executive function and social\ncognition 40 . For both adolescence 41 and matrescence, the consider-\nable rise in steroid hormone production appears to remodel the brain\n(see ref. 25 for comparative analysis), promoting a suite of behaviors\nadaptive to that life stage. How specific neural changes give rise to\nspecific behavioral adaptations has yet to be fully explored with\nrespect to human pregnancy.\nThis precision imaging study mapped neuroanatomical changes\nacross pregnancy in a single individual, precluding our ability to gen-\neralize to the broader population. To benchmark our findings, we com-\npared the magnitude of GMV changes observed throughout pregnancy\nagainst data from nonpregnant individuals sampled over a similar time\ncourse. Doing so provided compelling evidence that pregnancy-related\nneuroanatomical shifts far exceed normative day-to-day brain variabil-\nity and measurement error.

We then narrowed our analyses to the first 19\nsessions (baseline—36 weeks gestation) to assess novel brain changes\noccurring over the gestational window. We first computed Pearson’s\nproduct-moment correlation matrices between the following vari -\nables: gestation week, estradiol, progesterone and the 17 network-level\naverage GMV values. We then ran a multivariate regression analysis\npredicting ROI-level GMV changes by gestation week. To identify which\nregions were changing at a rate different from the global decrease,\nwe then ran the analyses again to include total GMV in the regression\nmodel (Supplementary Table 2). This was extended to the network\nlevel, where we ran partial correlations accounting for total GMV. These\nsame analyses were then run with CT measures. Globally-corrected\nresults provided in Supplementary Tables 1- 5. Percent change at the\nnetwork level was computed by subtracting the final pregnancy value\n(36 weeks pregnant) from the first prepregnancy baseline value, then\ndividing that difference by said first prepregnancy baseline value.

A similar statistical approach was taken for subcorti-\ncal volume estimates. We ran a multivariate regression analysis predict-\ning GMV changes over gestation in 28 ROIs (Supplementary Fig. 6a) by\ngestation week (FDR-corrected at *q* < 0.05).\nTo evaluate the relationship between gestation week and MTL\nsubregion volume over pregnancy ( *n* = 7 bilateral subregions and\n*n* = 18 MTL scans), we used a combination of linear and nonlinear\nmodels based on individual subregion data patterns. Models were\ncompared for best fit with each subregion via AIC from the GLM output\n(as described in ‘Summary brain metrics’). A linear regression model\nwas most appropriate for PHC (AIC diff < 3), whereas a quadratic model\nperformed best for CA1 and CA2/CA3. As a control, we repeated the\nanalyses with MTL subregion volumes after proportional volume cor-\nrection of total GMV calculated by ASHS. Finally, we evaluated the\nrelationship between endogenous sex hormones (estrogen and proges-\nterone) and subregion volumes using linear regression. Relationships\nwere considered significant only if they met FDR correction at *q* < 0.05.\n*White matter microstructure* . DSI Studio’s correlational tractography 74\nwas used to analyze the relationship between white matter structure\nand gestational week ( *n* = 16).

Click\n**Support** → **My support** → **Call Home Web** (see Figure 13-32).\n*Figure 13-32 Call Home Web on ibm.com*\nFor a video guide on how to set up and use IBM Call Home Web, see this [YouTube web page](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G9rqk8NXPA) .\nAnother feature is *Critical Fix Notification* function, which enables IBM to warn Storwize\nV7000 users that a critical issue exists in the level of code that they are using. The system\nnotifies users when they log on to the GUI by using a web browser connected to the internet.\nConsider the following information about this function:\n� It warns users only about critical fixes, and does not warn them that they are running a\nprevious version of the software.\n� It works only if the browser also has access to the internet IBM Storwize V7000 and IBM\nSAN Volume Controller systems themselves do not need to be connected to the internet.\n� The function cannot be disabled. Each time it displays a warning, it must be acknowledged\n(with the option to not warn the user again for that issue).\nThe decision about what is a *critical* fix is subjective and requires judgment, which is\nexercised by the development team. As a result, clients might still encounter bugs in code that\nwere not deemed critical. They continue to review information about new code levels to\ndetermine whether they must update, even without a critical fix notification.", + "page_start": 722, + "page_end": 722, + "source_file": "sg247938.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#AdditionalData(0->63)=00000000210000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\n\n## Chapter 13.

After a user’s password reaches the value that you\nspecify, the user must change the password.\nAfter a password reaches the expiration value, the next time the user logs on to a server,\nContent Manager OnDemand prompts the user to enter a new password. The user must\nenter the current password, a new password, and verify the new password by reentering the\nnew password.\n**Session Inactivity Time Out**\nThis setting specifies when Content Manager OnDemand terminates sessions between\ninactive clients and the server. The default setting is Time Out in 60 Minutes. Never Time Out\nmeans that Content Manager OnDemand does not terminate a session, regardless of how\nlong the client remains inactive.\nTo set a specific inactivity timeout, click **Time Out In __ Minutes** and enter the number of\nminutes in the space provided. The value can be 1 - 1440 (24 hours). The period of inactivity\nis measured between requests to a server. For example, when a user enters a query, Content\nManager OnDemand searches the database and builds the document list. This action\ncompletes a request to the server. If the user does not work with the items in the document\nlist, open another folder, or start another query before the inactivity timeout occurs, Content\nManager OnDemand automatically terminates the session with the client.\nChapter 6. Security\nUse caution when you set the inactivity timeout. Choose the correct amount of time when you\nspecify this setting. For example, assume that you set the inactivity timeout to 10. You log on\nto Content Manager OnDemand to add an application group. Creating the application group\nmight take you 15 minutes to complete. After you enter all of the information about the\napplication group, you click **OK** to create the application group. Content Manager OnDemand\nissues a message that a timeout occurred. You must log off the server, and you cannot save\nthe information that you entered about the application group.\n**System Logging**\nThis setting specifies the messages that Content Manager OnDemand saves in the system\nlog.

Therefore, they do not require battery power. If AC power to\nboth power supplies in an expansion enclosure fails, the enclosure powers off. When AC\npower is restored to at least one of the power supplies, the controller restarts without\noperator intervention.\nIf a second AC power outage occurs before the batteries have completed charging, the\nsystem starts in service state and does not permit I/O operations to be restarted until the\nbatteries are half charged, which provides enough capacity to perform a clean system shut\ndown in case of another power loss. The recharging process takes approximately 30 minutes.\nThe system automatically schedules maintenance battery discharge cycles to extend the\nlifetime of the batteries and ensure that the system can accurately measure the charge in the\nbatteries. Discharge cycles ensure that the batteries have sufficient charge to protect the\nStorwize V7000 system.

Changes in the scope of consolidation, including\nDongfeng Motor and Yulon Nissan Motor, raised revenues\nby ¥432.0 billion.\n**Operating Income**\nConsolidated operating profit improved by 4.4 percent from\nlast year to a record ¥861.2 billion. This resulted in an\noperating profit margin of 10.0 percent. Operating profit\nwas affected by the following factors:\n- The effect of foreign exchange rates produced a ¥78\nbillion negative impact for the full year. The\ndepreciation of the U.S. dollar against the yen resulted\nin a negative impact of ¥74 billion, with an additional\n¥13 billion from other currencies. The appreciation of\nthe euro resulted in a positive impact of ¥9 billion.\n- The change in the scope of consolidation produced\na positive impact of ¥31 billion. This was primarily\nfrom the consolidation of Dongfeng Motor and Yulon\nNissan Motor.\n- The impact of the higher volume and mix contributed\n¥284 billion. This was mainly driven by an increase in\nU.S. sales volume.\n- Selling expenses increased by ¥114 billion, also\nmainly due to the increase of sales in the U.S.\n- The improvement in purchasing costs amounted to\n¥131 billion.\n- Product enrichment and the cost of regulations had\na negative impact of ¥92 billion.\n- An additional ¥44 billion was allocated to R&D to\nreinforce product and technology development.\n- Cost reductions from manufacturing efficiencies were\noffset by costs associated with expanding the Canton\nplant’s capacity, which resulted in a ¥15 billion", + "page_start": 13, + "page_end": 13, + "source_file": "OTC_NSANY_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# 2004 Annual Report\n\n## PERFORMANCE\n\n### FISCAL YEAR 2004 FINANCIAL REVIEW\n\nof fiscal 2004 and ended the fiscal year at ¥1,099,\ngenerating a negative return of 3.85 percent. Total\nshareholder return (TSR) was -1.67 percent, while the\ndividend yield came to 2.18 percent (¥24 per share dividend,\ndivided by the ¥1,099 closing price). Adverse movements\nin foreign exchange rates and commodity price hikes\nadversely affected Nissan’s profitability, which was reflected\nin the share price. In addition, specific events relating\ndirectly to the company also had a negative impact. Later in\nthis report, corporate officers will explain what actions\nNissan has undertaken to ensure better performance.\n**Payout Policy**\nNissan announced its NISSAN Value-Up three-year dividend\npolicy, covering the period from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2007, at\nthe annual general meeting of shareholders on June 23,\n2004. Nissan proposes a long-term dividend policy to\nprovide more visibility and improve transparency into the\nways in which Nissan rewards its shareholders. Nissan\nbelieves that a long-term dividend policy reduces uncertainty\nfor investors who already own or are considering acquiring\nNissan stock.\n**IR Activities**\nUnder NISSAN Value-Up, the IR team’s performance will\nbe evaluated based on the price-earnings ratio (PER) and\nvolatility relative to our major competitors. PER is used to\nmeasure how successfully the IR team manages market\nexpectations about Nissan in order to maintain the Nissan\nshare price close to an intrinsic value. The other measure,\nvolatility, is used to measure the risk investors perceive\nwhen considering Nissan stock. If Nissan can successfully\nreduce volatility, the minimum return required by investors\nshould decline. The IR team believes that a strengthening\nof disclosure activities is required to improve both\nmeasures. The team plans to disclose not only financial\nresults but also more forward-looking information about\nNissan fundamentals such as technology and product.\nSuch forward-looking information helps investors to\nforecast future performance more precisely and reduces\nuncertainty about the future. As a consequence, Nissan will\nincrease the number of investor conferences, events, and\nteleconferences during fiscal 2005.\nP E R F O R M A N C E", + "page_start": 16, + "page_end": 16, + "source_file": "OTC_NSANY_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# 2004 Annual Report\n\n## FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS\nNissan Motor Co., Ltd.

Nissan conducts its operations all over the world and, in particular,\nin the major markets of North America, Europe, and Asia, to say nothing of\nJapan. While Nissan strives to develop a comprehensive and integrated\nprojection of the global economic outlook, any greater-than-anticipated\ndownturn in one of these markets may have a significant effect on Nissan\nfinancial position and results of operations.\nInternational Activities and Overseas Expansion\nNissan’s manufacturing and marketing activities outside Japan are\nconducted in the United States, in Europe, and in the developing and\nemerging markets of Asia. Nissan forecasts and evaluates a wide variety of\nrisks inherent in doing business in such overseas markets including the\nfollowing factors, each of which entails a greater-than-anticipated level of\nrisk:\n- Unfavorable political or economic factors\n- Legal or regulatory changes\n- Potentially adverse tax consequences\n- Labor disputes including strikes\n- Difficulties in recruiting and retaining personnel\n- Social, political or economic turmoil due to terrorism, war, or other\ndestabilizing factors.\nResearch and Development\nNissan’s technology must be “real world”—useful, pragmatic and easy to\nuse. Nissan anticipates the nature and scope of the market demand, and\nthen prioritizes and invests in new technologies. Nonetheless, any sudden\nand greater-than-anticipated changes in its business environment or in\ncustomer preferences may impact negatively on customer satisfaction with\nthese new technologies.\nProduct Defects\nNissan places a high priority on safety and does its best to enhance safety\nfrom the standpoint of research and development, manufacturing and\nsales. Although Nissan takes out insurance policies to cover product\nliability, this does not necessarily mean that all potential defects and the\nrelated liabilities are fully covered. If Nissan were to implement strict\nproduct recalls for its customers, Nissan would incur significant additional\nexpenses which could adversely affect its financial position and results of\noperations.\nFluctuation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates\nNissan’s Japanese operations export vehicles to various countries around\nthe world.

They can also\nbe used for examining bacteria and for general clinical and medical\nstudies. Simple design and use is especially useful for school\nclassroom instruction.\n### **CONSTRUCTION**\nBARSKA Model AY11228 is a fixed power stereo microscope. It is\nconstructed with two optical paths at the same angle. It is\nequipped with transmitted illumination and oblique illumination.\nBy using this instrument, the user can observe and enlarge the\nright side stereo image. BARSKA Model AY11232 is a zoom stereo\nmicroscope. The object being viewed is enlarged through two\nidentical sized sets of right and left eye lenses. The zoom provides\ndifferent magnification and features an inversion system which\nallows the image to be viewed normally and right side up.\n**Model AY11228 Model AY11232**\nDiopter\nAdjustment\nDiopter\nAdjustment\nPrism\nCap\nPrism\nCap\nEyepiece\nStage\nLens\nStage\nVertical Pole\nIllumination Controls Rotary Case\nIllumination Controls\nSpring Clips\nSpring Clips\nFocus Knob\nFocus Knob\nMagnification Adjustment Knob\nFocus Knob\nTightening Knob\nOblique Illuminator\nOblique Illuminator\nLens Housing\nEyepiece", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "Microscope Manual.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "Microscope Manual.pdf", + "query": "For the AY11230 microscope, what is the interpupillary adjustment?", + "target_page": 7, + "target_passage": "Model AY11230 1.

Table 2 shows descriptive statistics for the individuals providing these tests (noting that the same individual may be included several times if they gave multiple positive tests).\n**Table 2: Descriptive statistics on all positive opiate-only/positive-for-both tests.**\nOpiate/opiate+cocaine positive tests in England 2004- 2013 (all positive tests including repeats by the same individual)\nAge Year of birth\n| Number of tests | 364,537 | Number of tests | 364,537 |\n|:---|---:|:---|---:|\n| Mean | 32 | Mean | 1977 |\n| Median | 31 | Median | 1977 |\n| Mode | 28 | Mode | 1979 |\n| Minimum | 18 | Minimum | 1960 |\n| Maximum | 53 | Maximum | 1995 |\n\nThe mean age at test is 32 and the mean year of birth is 1977, implying that most of these individuals were in their mid-to-late teens during the crime peak of the mid-1990s. 9 Given evidence suggesting that the average age of initiation for opiate/crack use is around 18- 20 (Millar *et al* ., 2001), this age profile would tentatively suggest that OCU incidence also peaked in the 1990s and that this created a large cohort of users who would be approaching 40 today.\nThe minimum and maximum years of birth are fixed by construction, because anyone born\n\n9 Note that the dataset counts tests, not unique individuals, so the same person can appear more than once.\nbefore 1960 was removed and because DIP tests are only administered to those aged 18 and over, so only using data to 2013 means it would not be possible for anyone to be born in 1996 or afterwards to be included. Even so, it is clear from the year-of-birth distribution (Figure 2) that positive opiate tests drop off sharply for those born after 1982. This is in line with other evidence suggesting that the number of *new* users of opiates decreased sharply in the 2000s. This needs to be considered when interpreting the analysis that follows. When DIP and the NDTMS treatment system began in the mid-2000s, there already existed a cohort of around 320,000 OCUs, according to available estimates by Hay *et al* ., (2013). And most of these individuals began using opiates/crack during the epidemic years of the 1980s and 1990s. In terms of data capture this means it is hard to separate the gradual inclusion of more and more individuals from this original cohort from genuinely new users of these drugs.", + "page_start": 8, + "page_end": 9, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 1. Drug Interventions Programme Data\n\nComparing 2004 with 2013 shows that the younger age groups have seen falls in both the number and the proportion of new positive testers. However, the proportion of those aged 40+ has consistently risen and now constitutes the largest group of all new individuals testing positive.\nThis means that the 4,281 individuals testing positive for the first time in 2013 has a very different age profile to that we would expect from a cohort of recent initiates. It is far older, suggesting again that many of those are actually pre-existing users only tested (positively) for the first time in 2013. This adds further weight to the back-of-the-envelope modelling evidence demonstrating that a substantial proportion of the 4,281 new positive testers in 2013 are likely to be longer-term users who have only been first arrested in 2013, rather than genuinely new OCUs.\nIn the next section, analysis will examine whether there has been a possible shift towards an older profile amongst new initiates. But even taking this into account, it is unlikely that the majority of those 4,281 individuals are recent initiates. This can be seen clearly in Figure 8 below, which compares the age-of-initiation curve from Figure 11 (in the next section) to the 2013 ‘new-individuals’ cohort in the DIP data.\n**Figure 8: Comparison of new DIP and treatment cohorts, by age**\n\nThe DIP cohort has a far older age profile even than the 2014 cohort of treatment initiates, who themselves have a far older age-of-initiation profile than previous treatment cohorts. As such, it seems highly unlikely that all, or even most, of the 4,281 positive testers in 2013 are new initiates.\nOf course, even if just the small number of DIP testers (787 16 ) who were aged under 25 in 2013 were considered to be new initiates, this would still need to be multiplied up by three factors to provide an estimate for total new initiates: i) the non-arrest rate (to account for the fact that only a proportion of crime-involved initiates will get arrested in a given year); ii) the fact that DIP’s coverage (in terms of age, geography and PNC-referenced individuals) is not 100 per cent; iii) the likelihood that up to half of all new initiates will not be involved with crime at all. As an illustration, multiplying up 787 by these factors produces a figure close to 10,000. 17", + "page_start": 19, + "page_end": 20, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 1.

Excluding tests in which no PNC number was recorded makes little difference to the descriptive statistics, see Table 3 below.\n\n**Table 3: Descriptive statistics for the DIP positive opiate-only/positive-for-both tests in which an individual can be identified with a PNC number.**\n\nThe age and year of birth distributions are also similar and are shown in the Appendix. Thus, for the majority of the analysis that follows, tests with no PNC number were excluded. 10\nThe charts and tables above use data from *all* positive tests, so will include cases where the same individual has tested positively on more than one occasion. The following data look just at the *first* test for each individual testing positive for opiates-only or positive-for-both.\n**Table 4: Descriptive statistics on first positive opiate-only/positive-for-both tests.**\nFirst positive opiate/opiate+cocaine tests (unique individuals)\nAge Year of birth\n| Number of tests | 104,817 | Number of tests | 104,817 |\n|:---|---:|:---|---:|\n| Mean | 31 | Mean | 1977 |\n| Median | 30 | Median | 1977 |\n| Mode | 27 | Mode | 1980 |\n| Minimum | 18 | Minimum | 1960 |\n| Maximum | 53 | Maximum | 1995 |\n\nThere were just over 100,000 unique individuals who tested positive for opiates-only or positive- for-both between 2004 and 2013.

Estimating an incidence trend from treatment data\n\nThe mode age of initiation has shifted from around 18 to around 25 and there is an older age profile throughout. Rises in average age of initiation have also been reported recently in cohorts of Australian injecting drug users (Horyniak et al., 2015). There appear to be two possible explanations.\n- There is a genuine shift towards new initiates being older, and for them to present to treatment much faster than in previous years.\n- There is a consistent, but small number of individuals who mis-report their age of onset when attending treatment i.e. who report that they have only been using opiates/crack for a short period when in fact they have been using for a far longer period, and that this is starting to really bias the numbers for recent cohorts because attendees from the original epidemic are becoming smaller.\nIt is possible then that the flattening we observe in the incidence trend is due to a small in-flux of older initiates, although mis-reporting may also explain that phenomenon. Either way though, as this analysis has made clear throughout, absolute numbers of new OCUs appear to be small - probably fewer than 10,000 per annum and the numbers of those involved with crime will be smaller still. In addition, despite a flattening in the probable trend in new users, there is currently no sign that it is likely to tip upwards. If anything, the data suggest the downward trend is set to resume, though clearly it remains important to monitor the situation.", + "page_start": 28, + "page_end": 28, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### Summary\n\n#### **Executive summary**\n\n1 At the time of writing, data was unavailable for the period after November 2013. 2 It is 68 per cent if the 2013 figure is adjusted to correct for the missing month of data. 3 787 if adjusted for the missing month.\n4\ninitiated use at an older age. Currently it is not possible to determine whether this is a reporting issue or a genuine shift in the age profile of new opiate/crack-cocaine users.\n\n- The report has several important policy implications. Even though numbers of new initiates involved with crime have dropped to the low thousands, putting downward pressure on crime, identification and early diversion to treatment remains paramount. Frontier Economics have estimated that the average 4 lifetime crime cost of an injecting drug user is £445,000, so the potential for social harm - even from a small number of individuals - remains large and potentially long-lasting. This means local areas need to manage both the (relatively large) stock of current users, and the (much smaller) flow of new initiates, whose treatment needs may be different. There is no evidence of any new epidemic in this country, but given the impact of the epidemic of the 80s and early 90s on crime, ongoing monitoring of recent trends is required to spot early signs of any emerging problems.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### Conclusion\n\nThis report has attempted to draw together available data and evidence to estimate the number of new opiate/crack-cocaine users (OCUs) per year in England since 2005 and then to look briefly at their characteristics. This is important as previous research has suggested that - mostly through the actions of a minority - this group has the potential to have a large impact on crime trends and therefore to impose significant societal costs.\nThough data on this population is imperfect, a number of different data sources and methodologies are available to estimate OCU incidence. From these, three key conclusions emerge:\n- The number of new opiate/crack users is clearly far lower now than it was in the 1980s and early 1990s and has even dropped 20-45% since 2005.\n\n- This means numbers of new users in 2013 may be around 5,000-8,000 with an approximate upper bound of 10,000; and numbers involved with prolific criminality will be lower still.\n\n- The downward trend in new OCUs has flattened since about 2011, but available data do not suggest that this is the precursor to a new increase. If anything, the downward trend may resume in 2014, though the situation requires further monitoring.\nFor local areas then, this report suggests that it is still important to identify new OCUs as the arrestee data showed that a proportion of these are likely to offend over a long period of time. But also, there was some evidence of a shift to older initiates, which may require a slightly different treatment approach.", + "page_start": 29, + "page_end": 29, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### Summary\n\n#### **Executive summary**\n\nThis paper uses a range of datasets and methodologies to:\n- obtain working estimates for the number of individuals in England who started using opiates/crack from 2005 to 2013; 1\n- examine the characteristics of these individuals.\nThe main findings of the paper are as follows.\n- It is estimated that around 5,000 to 8,000 individuals started using opiates or crack- cocaine in 2013. There is a high degree of uncertainty around this figure due to the sparse data on this population, but sense-checks based on treatment and criminal justice system data suggest the true figure is unlikely to be much larger than 10,000.\n\n- Data also suggest that the number of current opiate/crack initiates involved with crime may be even lower. The number of arrestees testing positive for the first time for opiates (or for both opiates and crack-cocaine) dropped from 14,750 in 2006 to 4,281 in the first 11 months of 2013, a fall of around 70 per cent 2 . Furthermore, of the new positive testers in 2013, only 721 were aged 18- 24. 3 Though this arrestee data will capture only a proportion of the true population, it does suggest that the number of new, young initiates involved with crime - those who have the potential to inflict most societal harm - has decreased markedly, probably just to a few thousand per year; and that this group now make up a small minority of the total number of opiate/crack-cocaine users (estimated to be 294,000 in 2011/12), most of whom are older, longer-term users.\n\n- In terms of trends in new opiate/crack-cocaine users, all available data suggest that figures have dipped by at least a fifth since 2005 and have dropped hugely since the late 1980s and early 1990s when the opiate/crack-cocaine population in the UK grew very rapidly. The current estimate works out at a rate of 0.18 per 1,000 population. During the epidemic years, published estimates of new opiate/crack-cocaine users in Manchester and Bolton show rates more than 11 times larger.\n\n- However, the findings also suggest that between 2011 and early 2014, the number of new opiate/crack-cocaine users stopped decreasing and instead stabilised at a (historically) low level. Further analysis was conducted to try and determine whether this was a precursor to a new rise in initiates. Though the data are not totally conclusive, the results suggest that a marked increase in new opiate/crack-cocaine users in the near future is unlikely. If anything, findings suggested that the downward trend may be set to resume.\n\n- Analysis also revealed some possible changes in characteristics of the new opiate/crack- cocaine initiates.

This combines the total OCU estimates published by Hay *et al* ., (ranging from around 320,000 OCUs down to around 295,000 in recent years) with available estimates of the percentage who are likely to be committing acquisitive crime. The latter was found to be almost exactly 50% in the NTORS study (Gossop *et al* ., 2003). As such, a range of between 170,000 and 100,000 crime- involved OCUs is likely to include all plausible values (see first row of table below).\nWe then calculate the rate at which that population is likely to be arrested and test positive by using the number of individuals testing positive from 2008 (25,433), when DIP was fully up and running. This gives the second row of the table. Combining the values in the first two rows and applying the probability formula given in the main body of the text gives the third row: the probability of first positive DIP test in 2013. Note that this assumes all these individuals continue to offend through the period, which may not be the case, hence final results are probably an upper bound. The final row simply multiples the figure in the first row by the figure in the third to give our estimate of the original cohort who might appear in the 2013 DIP figures as new.\n\n| Number of (crime involved) OCUs | 170,000 | 160,000 | 150,000 | 140,000 | 130,000 | 120,000 | 110,000 | 100,000 |\n|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|\n| Implied arrest rate (based on DIP 2008 figures) | 15% | 16% | 17% | 18% | 20% | 21% | 23% | 25% |\n| Probability of first arrest in 2013 | 4.1% | 4.0% | 3.8% | 3.7% | 3.4% | 3.2% | 2.8% | 2.4% |\n| Estimated capture of original cohort in 2013 | 6,955 | 6,366 | 5,752 | 5,113 | 4,455 | 3,782 | 3,102 | 2,429 |", + "page_start": 41, + "page_end": 42, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf", + "query": "According to the National Database Treatment Monitoring System, how many people started using opiates/crack between 2005 and 2014?", + "target_page": 22, + "target_passage": " Only 52,829 individuals said they had an opiate/crack initiation date between 2005 and 2014", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": true, + "index": 0 + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 2. Estimating an incidence trend from treatment data\n\nThis section uses treatment data from the National Database Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS) to estimate the number of new OCUs annually. The NDTMS captures data on the numbers of people presenting to services with problem drug misuse and information about the drug treatment they receive. All drug treatment agencies in England provide a basic level of information to the NDTMS on their activities each month. The data for this report included all unique individuals presenting to treatment with opiates or crack-cocaine listed as their primary drug between 2005 and 2014. All individuals whose age of first use was listed as below ten or before 2005 were then excluded. Excluding individuals who started using opiates/crack before 2005 resulted in a large number of records being left out, due to the fact that the majority of the treatment population, even in 2013/14, initiated in the 1980s and 1990s when heroin and crack use surged in the UK. However, this exclusion is necessary for the incidence methodology, as explained later in this section. The remaining dataset included 52,829 individuals, as shown in Table 10.\n**Table 10: Descriptive statistics from the NDTMS data.**\n| Reason for exclusion | Number of individuals excluded | Total number of individuals analysed |\n|:---|:---|:---|\n| Initial sample prior to exclusion | 0 | 243,588 |\n| No age at first use recorded or age was below 10 or higher than age at first treatment | 443 | 243,145 |\n| Year of first use before 2005 | 190,316 | 52,829 |\n| Percentage of total sample initiating 2005- 14 | n/a | 21.7% |\n\nThe majority of those presenting for treatment between 2005 and 2014 started using opiates/crack before 2005 (around four in five). Only 52,829 individuals said they had an opiate/crack initiation date between 2005 and 2014. This suggests an average of just under 5,000 new starters per year during this period. But this would be an under-estimate of incidence because it is likely that some of those who began use between 2005 and 2014 would not yet have come to treatment during that period.\nTo correct for this, we use two variants of a methodology employed by researchers in Millar *et* *al* . (2001) and Hickman *et al* . (2001). These papers discuss the methodology in detail.\nIn brief, the method uses the lag-to-treatment distribution for the sample coupled with the number of new treatment presentations in a given year to estimate OCU incidence in that year. So, when presenting to treatment, all individuals are asked to provide the year in which they first began using their primary drug, which for this analysis was limited to opiates and/or crack-", + "page_start": 21, + "page_end": 21, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### Summary\n\n#### **Executive summary**\n\nThis paper uses a range of datasets and methodologies to:\n- obtain working estimates for the number of individuals in England who started using opiates/crack from 2005 to 2013; 1\n- examine the characteristics of these individuals.\nThe main findings of the paper are as follows.\n- It is estimated that around 5,000 to 8,000 individuals started using opiates or crack- cocaine in 2013.

Estimating an incidence trend from treatment data\n\ncocaine. From this information it is possible to create a distribution, for all presentations, of the lag-time between initiation and their first presentation at treatment. This might show - for example - that only ten per cent of all individuals presenting to treatment do so in the first year of use, but that 25 per cent present within two years, and so on. This means that for each year, we can estimate the number of individuals who have begun an opiate-crack career *but who* *have yet to come to treatment* . Adding these to the numbers who began in that year and have come to treatment gives our total incidence estimate for each year.\nThe first model uses NDTMS data for the cohort starting use in 2005 (n=8,960), the lag-time distribution for those initiating use in 2005 and presenting to treatment between 2005 and 2014 18 is shown below.\n**Table 11: Time-to-treatment distribution for those initiating use in 2005 and presenting to treatment between 2005 and 2014. 19**\n| Lag time to treatment (years) | 0-1 | 1-2 | 2-3 | 3-4 | 4-5 | 5-6 | 6-7 | 7-8 | 8-9 | 9-10 |\n|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|\n| Percentage | 15% | 17% | 17% | 14% | 10% | 9% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 4% |\n| Cumulative percentage | 15% | 31% | 49% | 62% | 73% | 82% | 88% | 92% | 96% | 100% |\n\nTable 11 shows that 15 per cent of the individuals who started use in 2005 and had presented for treatment by 2014, presented within one year of initiation. A further 17 per cent presented between one and two years after initiation, prior to coming to treatment, meaning that overall 31 per cent of the sample said they came to treatment within two years of first using opiates/crack. (The fact this is not 32% is simply due to rounding).\nAs a basis for the total lag-to-treatment distribution, the main limitation with the above analysis is that it assumes all individuals coming to treatment do so within ten years. Examining data from earlier cohorts suggests this is inaccurate, as a small proportion of OCUs will continue to use these drugs for a long time, sometimes two decades or more, before seeking treatment, and some never will. However, we cannot use an earlier cohort for the distribution because this is equivalent to using out-of-date data. The average lag-to-treatment is likely to have reduced over time given the expansion of treatment places and the influence of DIP. Using old data will miss this and bias the estimates. Even using the 2005 cohort’s distribution contains the assumption that the time-to-treatment lag has not altered significantly between 2005 and 2013/14. So, to try and obtain the most accurate model, we used the figures from the 2005 cohort for the first ten years, as above, on the basis that this covers the majority of individuals and for that we want the most up-to-date data possible whilst maintaining a long enough time period. We then index the trend at that point to an older cohort, and use data from that cohort to model the ‘tail’ of the distribution - i.e. those who take longer than ten years to reach treatment. 20 The result is a 20-year lag-to-treatment distribution, shown in Table 12 below.", + "page_start": 22, + "page_end": 22, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 1.

Reading vertically (i.e. down the columns) it can be observed, for example, that of the 12,353 individuals with a positive test in 2013, 4,281 (35%) had not had a previous positive test and over half had already tested positive at least once in 2010 or before. Reading horizontally - for example from left to right across the first row - it can be concluded that of the 12,246 individuals testing positive in 2004, 3,171 also had a positive test in 2005; 3,299 of the original 12,246 also had a positive test in 2006 and so on. The table does not show whether those who had a subsequent test in 2005 were the same individuals as those who had a subsequent test in 2006. So reading the results of the two tables together, we can say that 12,246 *individuals* had 17,174 positive tests in 2004, and of these, 3,171 also tested positive in 2005, resulting in 5,604 positive tests because some tested positive more than once in that year. The last figure in each column gives the number of new users that year (10,539 in 2005, 14,750 in 2006 and so on).\nThere are several observations to be drawn from these tables. First, it is clear that a proportion of opiate-using offenders offend over long periods of time. Nearly ten per cent (8.9%) of individuals who tested positive for opiates at charge in 2004 also tested positive nearly a decade later in 2013 (on arrest). And reading vertically, of the 12,253 individuals testing positive in 2013, 1,092 (8.9%) had also tested positive almost a decade earlier.", + "page_start": 17, + "page_end": 17, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 2. Estimating an incidence trend from treatment data\n\n18 Data for 2014 was available until October 2014. This was converted to annual figures by multiplying up by 1.2 to account for the missing months in a linear fashion. 19 The percentages from this table can be calculated from the numbers in Table 13. 20 In reality there is always a trade-off in this methodology between the up-to-dateness of the cohort used to measure the lag- to-treatment and the number of years of lag measured, i.e. we could use a more recent cohort, say 2008. But that would mean excluding all those who take longer than seven years to come to treatment, an even larger proportion. We are indebted to Tim Millar for providing the dataset used to model the ‘tail’ of the distribution. It contained a longer time series of\n\n**Table 12: Estimated 20-year lag-to-treatment distribution for model one**\n\nThe cumulative percentages from the table above can then be combined with statistics showing actual numbers of first presentations to treatment by year of onset to calculate an incidence trend, as demonstrated in Table 13.\n**Table 13: Table showing the data used to estimate incidence in model one and the results 21**\n\n**Year of 1st treatment**\n**2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Total**\n**Percentag e of total incidence accounted for by observed**\n**Estimated number yet to come to treatment**\n**Estimated total incidence**\n**Year 1st use**\n**2005 1,305 1,508 1,533 1,250 938 800 512 408 376 330 8,960 85% 1,523 10,483**\n**2006 - 1,297 1,727 1,624 1,116 821 611 471 470 358 8,495 82% 1,824 10,319**\n**2007 - - 1,482 1,906 1,532 1,020 671 566 491 416 8,084 79% 2,183 10,268**\n**2008 - - - 1,446 1,857 1,456 840 659 570 424 7,252 75% 2,437 9,689**\n**2009 - - - - 1,580 1,811 1,018 727 627 527 6,290 70% 2,701 8,990**\n**2010 - - - - - 1,404 1,101 933 757 544 4,739 62% 2,864 7,602**\n**2011 - - - - - - 1,001 1,109 988 646 3,744 53% 3,269 7,013**\n**2012 - - - - - - - 967 1,149 920 3,036 41% 4,287 7,324**\n**2013 - - - - - - - - 1,021 1,204 2,225 27% 6,065 8,290**\n**2014 - - - - - - - - - 869 869 12%**\n**Total 1,305 2,805 4,742 6,226 7,023 7,312 5,754 5,840 6,449 6236.4 53,693**\n\nReading down the year columns, the table shows that of the 6,449 people who presented for opiate/crack treatment for the first time in 2013, 376 said they had begun using in 2005.

Estimating an incidence trend from treatment data\n\nReading across the table shows that of all those who said they began using opiates/crack in 2005 (8,960), 1,305 also presented to treatment for the first time in that year (which is 15 per cent of the observed cohort from Table 11 and 12 per cent of our estimated total cohort from Table 12). Another 1,508 presented for the first time a year later, and so on. The first number in the totals column (8,960) therefore represents all individuals who said they began using in 2005. It is therefore the ‘observed’ incidence level. The column to the right of this is the cumulative percentages from the estimated lag-to-treatment distribution in Table 12. This shows the\n\notherwise similar data (i.e. first treatment presentation and year of initiation) from OCUs attending treatment in the Manchester area. 21 Note that the data for 2014 only includes Jan- Oct as this was all that was available. Hence we do not do not attempt to calculate an incidence estimate for 2014 and we adjust all the values in that column by multiplying by (12/10) to account for the missing months.\nestimated percentage of the total incidence captured by the observed incidence. In other words, our lag-to-treatment distribution suggests that of the 8,960 individuals who began use in 2005, 85 per cent will have come to treatment by 2014; so by adding the other 15 per cent on (1,523), we reach our estimated total incidence for that year: 10,483.\nThe second model uses the same principles but instead of looking only at the lag-to-treatment distribution for the 2005 cohort (i.e. the top row of Table 13), it incorporates available lag-to- treatment data from all new presentations between 2005 and 2014 (i.e. all rows in Table 13). This is done by calculating the total number of individuals within the sample who have a lag-to- treatment of a year or less, the total number with a lag of 1-2 years and so on. By comparing these numbers with the total number of individuals within the sample who *could* have come to treatment with that length of lag or less, it is possible to produce a 10-year lag-to treatment distribution, which is similar to Table 11 except uses data from the whole sample. (The mathematical calculations for this are set out in the appendix of Hickman *et al* ., 2001). As before we then index the trend to the older cohort to model the tail of the distribution and use the results to calculate incidence in an identical way to the first model. The results are shown in Table 14 below, which is a slimmed-down version of Table 13, showing the only column that has changed (the one headed `percentage of total incidence accounted for by observed’) and the impact this has on resulting incidence (in the final column.) One of the important differences between the methods is that method 2, which incorporates all the data from the 2005-14 sample has a much shorter lag to treatment overall, which suggests that lag-times have generally reduced since 2005.", + "page_start": 23, + "page_end": 24, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 2. Estimating an incidence trend from treatment data\n\nbetween March 2011 and March 2015 can also be seen in the raw numbers for total new OCU treatment presentations. 22\n**Figure 10: New treatment presentations for opiate/crack use.**\n\nFigure 10 shows that, rather than increasing in the current year, new presentations for opiate/crack use have actually fallen slightly from 48,154 in 2013/14 to 47,241 in 2014/15, a decrease of 1.9%. However, given that the early signs of previous opiate/crack use epidemics have been missed before (see Morgan, 2014), and the potential social harm that a fresh increase in new OCUs could cause, further analysis was conducted on the most recent data to try and determine whether the apparent flattening in trends was actually caused by the early stages of a significant surge in new users.\nThe treatment data was broken down by age to check whether the slight fall in total new presentations in 2014/15 masked an increase in younger treatment presentations. This showed instead that opiate/crack presentations by those aged 18-24 had fallen from 3,579 in 2013/14 to 3,021 in 2014/15, a fall of 15.6%. In other words, younger new presentations have fallen at a faster rate over the last year than for those aged over-25. Furthermore, separate statistics produced for those in treatment aged 18-and-under also show a fall in aggregate numbers in treatment for opiates and crack.\nWe also looked at trends at the local level, given that previous epidemics have started in very specific areas and have taken several years to spread nationally. This means that the start of an epidemic can be hidden in the national data because it has not reached enough areas to register.\n\n22 Note that this series counts the start of any new treatment journey, regardless of whether an individual has been in treatment before. So unlike our definition of ‘new’ elsewhere it includes individuals who have been to treatment previously.\nThe analysis showed that of the 149 Drug Action Team areas in England, 72 per cent had decreases in new OCU treatment numbers in the year to September 2014 compared to the previous year. Furthermore, of the 42 areas showing an increase, only 11 also showed a rise for the 12 months to September 2010 compared with the 12 months to September 2014, and most of these involved small numbers of individuals.\nOverall then, the very recent data on treatment presentations do not currently suggest that the number of new OCUs is on the verge of increasing, merely that it flattened for a period.", + "page_start": 26, + "page_end": 27, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### Conclusion\n\nThis report has attempted to draw together available data and evidence to estimate the number of new opiate/crack-cocaine users (OCUs) per year in England since 2005 and then to look briefly at their characteristics. This is important as previous research has suggested that - mostly through the actions of a minority - this group has the potential to have a large impact on crime trends and therefore to impose significant societal costs.\nThough data on this population is imperfect, a number of different data sources and methodologies are available to estimate OCU incidence. From these, three key conclusions emerge:\n- The number of new opiate/crack users is clearly far lower now than it was in the 1980s and early 1990s and has even dropped 20-45% since 2005.\n\n- This means numbers of new users in 2013 may be around 5,000-8,000 with an approximate upper bound of 10,000; and numbers involved with prolific criminality will be lower still.\n\n- The downward trend in new OCUs has flattened since about 2011, but available data do not suggest that this is the precursor to a new increase. If anything, the downward trend may resume in 2014, though the situation requires further monitoring.\nFor local areas then, this report suggests that it is still important to identify new OCUs as the arrestee data showed that a proportion of these are likely to offend over a long period of time. But also, there was some evidence of a shift to older initiates, which may require a slightly different treatment approach.", + "page_start": 29, + "page_end": 29, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### Summary\n\n#### **Aims and Methodology**\n\n4 The average is useful, but hides the fact that offending within the opiate/crack population is highly skewed with a few individuals responsible for the majority of crime and many individuals manage to use heroin and crack without resorting to acquisitive crime at all (Morgan, 2014). 5 Though regular national-level estimates have not been attempted, studies have estimated incidence at various times and at various different levels of geography, see for example: De Angelis *et al* ., 2004, Millar *et al* ., 2001 and Hickman *et al* ., 2001.\n5\nmethods for calculating incidence are complicated and imperfect. It should be acknowledged in advance that this paper does not fully resolve these issues. It is merely intended as a first step, to obtain workable estimates upon which to base policy until more sophisticated methods are developed. That said, every effort is made in this analysis to sense-check the results against other available datasets. The datasets used and the structure of the paper is as follows.\ni) **Drug Interventions Programme (DIP) data.** In part one, we produce general descriptive statistics from these data, which capture individuals who test positive for opiates/crack-cocaine following arrest or charge. Due to the limitations in coverage of these data over time, we draw only broad conclusions, some of which act as a sense- check for the main results from part two. ii) **Data on presentations to treatment from the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS).** In part two, we use two models based on previous research papers to calculate OCU incidence at the national level between 2005 and 2013. Most of the main conclusions come from this section.\n6", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 5, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 1.

Reading vertically (i.e. down the columns) it can be observed, for example, that of the 12,353 individuals with a positive test in 2013, 4,281 (35%) had not had a previous positive test and over half had already tested positive at least once in 2010 or before. Reading horizontally - for example from left to right across the first row - it can be concluded that of the 12,246 individuals testing positive in 2004, 3,171 also had a positive test in 2005; 3,299 of the original 12,246 also had a positive test in 2006 and so on. The table does not show whether those who had a subsequent test in 2005 were the same individuals as those who had a subsequent test in 2006. So reading the results of the two tables together, we can say that 12,246 *individuals* had 17,174 positive tests in 2004, and of these, 3,171 also tested positive in 2005, resulting in 5,604 positive tests because some tested positive more than once in that year. The last figure in each column gives the number of new users that year (10,539 in 2005, 14,750 in 2006 and so on).\nThere are several observations to be drawn from these tables. First, it is clear that a proportion of opiate-using offenders offend over long periods of time. Nearly ten per cent (8.9%) of individuals who tested positive for opiates at charge in 2004 also tested positive nearly a decade later in 2013 (on arrest).

All the previous caveats about DIP trends need to be borne in mind when looking at those figures. Clearly the rise in new positive testers in the early period will be affected by the changes to DIP coverage through those years, as possibly will the sharp fall in positive testers in the latter period. However, graphing the data (see the red line in Figure 7 below) shows that the fall from 14,750 new positive testers in 2006 to 4,281 in 2013, is not only large (the drop is around 70 per cent even if we use the adjusted figure for 2013) but also more or less linear. This means that there is no immediate reason to suggest that the 2013 figures are artificially low due to changes in DIP coverage (i.e. the fact that DIP ceased to be a centrally funded programme in April of that year). Taken together, the data from the period post-2006 (when DIP had achieved a high level of coverage) certainly appear to show that the number of new crime-involved OCUs is unlikely to be rising and may be falling markedly, see Figure 7.", + "page_start": 11, + "page_end": 14, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 1.

Even so, it is clear from the year-of-birth distribution (Figure 2) that positive opiate tests drop off sharply for those born after 1982. This is in line with other evidence suggesting that the number of *new* users of opiates decreased sharply in the 2000s. This needs to be considered when interpreting the analysis that follows. When DIP and the NDTMS treatment system began in the mid-2000s, there already existed a cohort of around 320,000 OCUs, according to available estimates by Hay *et al* ., (2013). And most of these individuals began using opiates/crack during the epidemic years of the 1980s and 1990s.

The number of arrestees testing positive for the first time for opiates (or for both opiates and crack-cocaine) dropped from 14,750 in 2006 to 4,281 in the first 11 months of 2013, a fall of around 70 per cent 2 . Furthermore, of the new positive testers in 2013, only 721 were aged 18- 24. 3 Though this arrestee data will capture only a proportion of the true population, it does suggest that the number of new, young initiates involved with crime - those who have the potential to inflict most societal harm - has decreased markedly, probably just to a few thousand per year; and that this group now make up a small minority of the total number of opiate/crack-cocaine users (estimated to be 294,000 in 2011/12), most of whom are older, longer-term users.\n\n- In terms of trends in new opiate/crack-cocaine users, all available data suggest that figures have dipped by at least a fifth since 2005 and have dropped hugely since the late 1980s and early 1990s when the opiate/crack-cocaine population in the UK grew very rapidly. The current estimate works out at a rate of 0.18 per 1,000 population. During the epidemic years, published estimates of new opiate/crack-cocaine users in Manchester and Bolton show rates more than 11 times larger.\n\n- However, the findings also suggest that between 2011 and early 2014, the number of new opiate/crack-cocaine users stopped decreasing and instead stabilised at a (historically) low level. Further analysis was conducted to try and determine whether this was a precursor to a new rise in initiates. Though the data are not totally conclusive, the results suggest that a marked increase in new opiate/crack-cocaine users in the near future is unlikely. If anything, findings suggested that the downward trend may be set to resume.\n\n- Analysis also revealed some possible changes in characteristics of the new opiate/crack- cocaine initiates. There is a trend in the treatment data towards new initiates coming to treatment earlier in their drug-using careers than previous cohorts and also to have", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 2, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 1. Drug Interventions Programme Data\n\n11 Individuals may have more than one positive test in a given year, which is why the numbers for tests are higher than the numbers for individuals. Similarly, even new individuals not previously testing positive in a given year, may have multiple positive tests in the first year in which they test positive.\n**Figure 7: Trends in total positive tests divided between those that are the individual’s first positive test and those that are subsequent positive tests.**\n\nHowever, caution needs to be exercised. Not only will this trend be affected by the changing level of DIP coverage but also DIP only started in 2004 so every new individual who tests positive in that year is effectively ‘new’. This means that because the probability of arrest, for any offence committed, is less than one (i.e. not everyone gets caught), it is likely that there will be a natural downward bias in the trend for positive first tests. To see this, imagine a population of 100 OCUs who commit one crime each year. If the probability of arrest is 20 per cent, 20\nindividuals will show up in the DIP data as ‘first positive tests’ in the first year. In the second year, 16 will show up from the original cohort (80 x 20%), alongside 20 per cent of any *new* crime-involved OCUs joining the population that year. 12\nSo the sharply falling trend cannot simply be interpreted as a sharp fall in the number of genuinely *new* crime-involved OCUs, as the figures will also be capturing declining numbers of the original cohort. Looking at the fourth row in Table 5 we can see that it is only in 2012 that the total number of unique individuals testing positive exceeds 100,000. Given that available estimates suggest the total number of OCUs in the mid-2000s was around 300,000 (Hay *et al* ., 2013), it is clear that plenty of the pre-existing population probably appear as ‘new’ positive testers right the way through the series. 13\n\n12 Note that this assumes individuals do not become more likely to be arrested once they have already been arrested once, which may not be true if, for example, they became a known ‘face’ amongst the police. 13 We certainly would not expect the whole of the 330,000 original population to appear in the data, given that: 1) Evidence suggests up to half finance their drug use without resorting to acquisitive crime (Morgan, 2014); 2) Some of the crime-", + "page_start": 14, + "page_end": 15, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### 1. Drug Interventions Programme Data\n\nDespite this, there are still a few things these data *can* tell us about the numbers and trends in new OCUs. Firstly, despite the downward bias outlined above, it is clear that there are not *enough* new crime-involved OCUs entering the population to cause this trend to increase or even flatten. Secondly, it is assumed that the probability of arrest stays roughly constant through the period, the trend in the number of new positive testers, who are actually captured from the original cohort, will gradually flatten, whereas the decline in new OCUs in the DIP data is almost linear, suggesting that numbers entering the population are also falling. But most important is that the absolute number of new positive testers in 2013 is only 4,281. Given that this figure is likely to include some individuals who are actually long-standing OCUs, but who have evaded arrest to that point, then the number of genuinely new arrested OCUs in 2013 must be lower than 4,281, possibly markedly lower.\nTo investigate this further, the next two tables break down annual totals for all tests and all unique individuals, by the year of first test.\n**Table 6: Number of positive opiates-only or positive-for-both. tests, by year of first positive test.**\n**Number of tests per year (positive opiate/opiate + cocaine)**\n**Year of first**\n**test 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Adjusted 2013**\n**2004** 17,174 5,604 7,091 6,784 6,509 5,292 4,863 3,341 2,629 1,800 1,964\n**2005** 13,553 6,066 5,110 4,941 3,983 3,549 2,323 1,947 1,383 1,509\n**2006** 20,656 7,784 6,152 5,139 4,629 3,257 2,649 1,806 1,970\n**2007** 17,613 5,747 4,309 3,855 2,619 2,119 1,555 1,696\n**2008** 17,883 4,970 4,026 2,626 2,180 1,562 1,704\n**2009** 14,683 4,054 2,383 1,824 1,318 1,438\n**2010** 13,075 2,332 1,638 1,154 1,259\n**2011** 9,595 1,714 1,013 1,105\n**2012** 7,265 1,359 1,483\n**2013** 5,523 6,025\n**Total** 17,174 19,157 33,813 37,291 41,232 38,376 38,051 28,476 23,965 18,473 20,152\n\ninvolved opiate/crack users will quit (or die) before being arrested and tested; 3) DIP’s geographical coverage is not 100 per cent; 4) Some may evade arrest through the entire series; and 5) Evidence suggests OCUs cycle in and out of periods of regular use and offending rather than offend at a high rate continuously.

This number is needed to identify an individual and hence to check whether future tests are further tests by that individual or represent a new individual testing positive. Excluding tests in which no PNC number was recorded makes little difference to the descriptive statistics, see Table 3 below.\n\n**Table 3: Descriptive statistics for the DIP positive opiate-only/positive-for-both tests in which an individual can be identified with a PNC number.**\n\nThe age and year of birth distributions are also similar and are shown in the Appendix. Thus, for the majority of the analysis that follows, tests with no PNC number were excluded. 10\nThe charts and tables above use data from *all* positive tests, so will include cases where the same individual has tested positively on more than one occasion. The following data look just at the *first* test for each individual testing positive for opiates-only or positive-for-both.\n**Table 4: Descriptive statistics on first positive opiate-only/positive-for-both tests.**\nFirst positive opiate/opiate+cocaine tests (unique individuals)\nAge Year of birth\n| Number of tests | 104,817 | Number of tests | 104,817 |\n|:---|---:|:---|---:|\n| Mean | 31 | Mean | 1977 |\n| Median | 30 | Median | 1977 |\n| Mode | 27 | Mode | 1980 |\n| Minimum | 18 | Minimum | 1960 |\n| Maximum | 53 | Maximum | 1995 |\n\nThere were just over 100,000 unique individuals who tested positive for opiates-only or positive- for-both between 2004 and 2013.

Drug Interventions Programme Data\n\nComparing 2004 with 2013 shows that the younger age groups have seen falls in both the number and the proportion of new positive testers. However, the proportion of those aged 40+ has consistently risen and now constitutes the largest group of all new individuals testing positive.\nThis means that the 4,281 individuals testing positive for the first time in 2013 has a very different age profile to that we would expect from a cohort of recent initiates. It is far older, suggesting again that many of those are actually pre-existing users only tested (positively) for the first time in 2013. This adds further weight to the back-of-the-envelope modelling evidence demonstrating that a substantial proportion of the 4,281 new positive testers in 2013 are likely to be longer-term users who have only been first arrested in 2013, rather than genuinely new OCUs.\nIn the next section, analysis will examine whether there has been a possible shift towards an older profile amongst new initiates. But even taking this into account, it is unlikely that the majority of those 4,281 individuals are recent initiates. This can be seen clearly in Figure 8 below, which compares the age-of-initiation curve from Figure 11 (in the next section) to the 2013 ‘new-individuals’ cohort in the DIP data.\n**Figure 8: Comparison of new DIP and treatment cohorts, by age**\n\nThe DIP cohort has a far older age profile even than the 2014 cohort of treatment initiates, who themselves have a far older age-of-initiation profile than previous treatment cohorts. As such, it seems highly unlikely that all, or even most, of the 4,281 positive testers in 2013 are new initiates.\nOf course, even if just the small number of DIP testers (787 16 ) who were aged under 25 in 2013 were considered to be new initiates, this would still need to be multiplied up by three factors to provide an estimate for total new initiates: i) the non-arrest rate (to account for the fact that only a proportion of crime-involved initiates will get arrested in a given year); ii) the fact that DIP’s coverage (in terms of age, geography and PNC-referenced individuals) is not 100 per cent; iii) the likelihood that up to half of all new initiates will not be involved with crime at all. As an illustration, multiplying up 787 by these factors produces a figure close to 10,000. 17", + "page_start": 19, + "page_end": 20, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### Appendix\n\n#### Modelling methodology\n\nThis brief section outlines the modelling process behind the conclusion in section one, which states that we might expect somewhere between 2,400 and 7,000 individuals from the original cohort of users in 2004 to be captured within the 2013 figure of *new* DIP arrestees (who test positive for opiates-only or who are positive-for-both).\nWe begin by putting in a plausible range of crime-involved OCUs through the period. This combines the total OCU estimates published by Hay *et al* ., (ranging from around 320,000 OCUs down to around 295,000 in recent years) with available estimates of the percentage who are likely to be committing acquisitive crime. The latter was found to be almost exactly 50% in the NTORS study (Gossop *et al* ., 2003). As such, a range of between 170,000 and 100,000 crime- involved OCUs is likely to include all plausible values (see first row of table below).\nWe then calculate the rate at which that population is likely to be arrested and test positive by using the number of individuals testing positive from 2008 (25,433), when DIP was fully up and running. This gives the second row of the table. Combining the values in the first two rows and applying the probability formula given in the main body of the text gives the third row: the probability of first positive DIP test in 2013. Note that this assumes all these individuals continue to offend through the period, which may not be the case, hence final results are probably an upper bound. The final row simply multiples the figure in the first row by the figure in the third to give our estimate of the original cohort who might appear in the 2013 DIP figures as new.\n\n| Number of (crime involved) OCUs | 170,000 | 160,000 | 150,000 | 140,000 | 130,000 | 120,000 | 110,000 | 100,000 |\n|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|\n| Implied arrest rate (based on DIP 2008 figures) | 15% | 16% | 17% | 18% | 20% | 21% | 23% | 25% |\n| Probability of first arrest in 2013 | 4.1% | 4.0% | 3.8% | 3.7% | 3.4% | 3.2% | 2.8% | 2.4% |\n| Estimated capture of original cohort in 2013 | 6,955 | 6,366 | 5,752 | 5,113 | 4,455 | 3,782 | 3,102 | 2,429 |", + "page_start": 41, + "page_end": 42, + "source_file": "legal2_opengouvernementlicense.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends Research Report 90 January 2016\n\n## **New opiate and crack-cocaine users: characteristics and trends**\n\n### Conclusion\n\nThis report has attempted to draw together available data and evidence to estimate the number of new opiate/crack-cocaine users (OCUs) per year in England since 2005 and then to look briefly at their characteristics. This is important as previous research has suggested that - mostly through the actions of a minority - this group has the potential to have a large impact on crime trends and therefore to impose significant societal costs.\nThough data on this population is imperfect, a number of different data sources and methodologies are available to estimate OCU incidence. From these, three key conclusions emerge:\n- The number of new opiate/crack users is clearly far lower now than it was in the 1980s and early 1990s and has even dropped 20-45% since 2005.\n\n- This means numbers of new users in 2013 may be around 5,000-8,000 with an approximate upper bound of 10,000; and numbers involved with prolific criminality will be lower still.\n\n- The downward trend in new OCUs has flattened since about 2011, but available data do not suggest that this is the precursor to a new increase. If anything, the downward trend may resume in 2014, though the situation requires further monitoring.\nFor local areas then, this report suggests that it is still important to identify new OCUs as the arrestee data showed that a proportion of these are likely to offend over a long period of time.

[132]\nSome historians point out that it was a customary demonstration of piety in those days to\nexaggerate one's sins. Thus they do not place much emphasis on Louis's deathbed\ndeclarations in assessing his accomplishments. Rather, they focus on military and\ndiplomatic successes, such as how he placed a French prince on the Spanish throne. This,\nthey contend, ended the threat of an aggressive Spain that historically interfered in\ndomestic French politics. These historians also emphasise the effect of Louis's wars in\nexpanding France's boundaries and creating more defensible frontiers that preserved\nFrance from invasion until the Revolution. [132]\nArguably, Louis also applied himself indirectly to \"the alleviation of the burdens of [his]\nsubjects.\" For example, he patronised the arts, encouraged industry, fostered trade and\ncommerce, and sponsored the founding of an overseas empire. Moreover, the significant\nreduction in civil wars and aristocratic rebellions during his reign are seen by these\nhistorians as the result of Louis's consolidation of royal authority over feudal elites. In their analysis, his early reforms centralised\nFrance and marked the birth of the modern French state. They regard the political and military victories as well as numerous\ncultural achievements as how Louis helped raise France to a preeminent position in Europe. [133] Europe came to admire France\nfor its military and cultural successes, power, and sophistication. Europeans generally began to emulate French manners, values,\ngoods, and deportment. French became the universal language of the European elite.\nLouis's detractors have argued that his considerable foreign, military and domestic expenditure impoverished and bankrupted\nFrance. His supporters, however, distinguish the state, which was impoverished, from France, which was not. As supporting\n[evidence, they cite the literature of the time, such as the social commentary in Montesquieu's ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montesquieu) *[Persian Letters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Letters)* .

Other scholars counter that there was little reason to reform institutions that\nlargely worked well under Louis. They also maintain that events occurring almost 80 years after his death were not reasonably\nforeseeable to Louis and that in any case, his successors had sufficient time to initiate reforms of their own. [135]\n[Louis has often been criticised for his vanity. The memoirist Saint-Simon, who claimed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Rouvroy,_duc_de_Saint-Simon)\nthat Louis slighted him, criticised him thus:\nThere was nothing he liked so much as flattery, or, to put it more plainly,\nadulation; the coarser and clumsier it was, the more he relished it.\n[For his part, Voltaire saw Louis's vanity as the cause for his bellicosity:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaire)\nIt is certain that he passionately wanted glory, rather than the conquests\nthemselves. In the acquisition of Alsace and half of Flanders, and of all of\nFranche-Comté, what he really liked was the name he made for himself. [136]\n[Nonetheless, Louis has also received praise. The anti-Bourbon Napoleon described him not only as \"a great king\", but also as \"the](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon)\nonly King of France worthy of the name\". [137] [ Leibniz, the German Protestant philosopher, commended him as \"one of the](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz)\ngreatest kings that ever was\".

[140] Voltaire's history, *[The Age of Louis XIV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_of_Louis_XIV)* , named Louis's reign\nas not only one of the four great ages in which reason and culture flourished, but the greatest ever. [141][142]\nNumerous quotes have been attributed to Louis XIV by legend.\nThe well-known \"I am the state\" ( *[\"L'État, c'est moi.\"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27%C3%89tat,_c%27est_moi)* ) was reported from at least the late 18th century.

[71][72]\nMany historians have condemned the Edict of Fontainebleau as gravely harmful to France. [73] In support, they cite the emigration\nof about 200,000 highly skilled Huguenots (roughly one quarter of the Protestant population, or 1% of the French population)\nwho defied royal decrees and fled France for various Protestant states, weakening the French economy and enriching that of\nProtestant states. On the other hand, some historians view this as an exaggeration. They argue that most of France's preeminent\nProtestant businessmen and industrialists converted to Catholicism and remained. [74]\nWhat is certain is that the reaction to the Edict was mixed. Even while French Catholic leaders exulted, Pope Innocent XI still\nargued with Louis over Gallicanism and criticized the use of violence. Protestants across Europe were horrified at the treatment of\ntheir co-religionists, but most Catholics in France applauded the move. Nonetheless, it is indisputable that Louis's public image in\nmost of Europe, especially in Protestant regions, was dealt a severe blow.\n[In the end, however, despite renewed tensions with the Camisards of south-central France at the end of his reign, Louis may have](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camisard)\nhelped ensure that his successor would experience fewer instances of the religion-based disturbances that had plagued his\n[forebears.

[60]\nApartments were built to house those willing to pay court to the king. [61] However, the\npensions and privileges necessary to live in a style appropriate to their rank were only\npossible by waiting constantly on Louis. [62] For this purpose, an elaborate court ritual was\ncreated wherein the king became the centre of attention and was observed throughout the\nday by the public. With his excellent memory, Louis could then see who attended him at\ncourt and who was absent, facilitating the subsequent distribution of favours and positions.\nAnother tool Louis used to control his nobility was censorship, which often involved the opening of letters to discern their\nauthor's opinion of the government and king. [61] Moreover, by entertaining, impressing, and domesticating them with extravagant\nluxury and other distractions, Louis not only cultivated public opinion of him, but he also ensured the aristocracy remained under\nhis scrutiny.\n[Louis's extravagance at Versailles extended far beyond the scope of elaborate court rituals.

[91] Indeed, in the event of war, it might be\npreferable to be already in control of the disputed lands. Eventually, therefore, Louis decided to accept Charles II's will. Philip,\nDuke of Anjou, thus became Philip V, King of Spain.\nMost European rulers accepted Philip as king, some reluctantly. Depending on one's views of the war's inevitability, Louis acted\nreasonably or arrogantly. [95] He confirmed that Philip V retained his French rights despite his new Spanish position. Admittedly,\nhe may only have been hypothesising a theoretical eventuality and not attempting a Franco-Spanish union. But his actions were\ncertainly not read as disinterested. Moreover, Louis sent troops to the Spanish Netherlands to evict Dutch garrisons and secure\nDutch recognition of Philip V. In 1701, Philip transferred the *[asiento](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiento_de_Negros)* (the right to supply slaves to Spanish colonies) to France, as\n[a sign of the two nations' growing connections.

These actions enraged Britain and\nthe Dutch Republic. [96] With the Holy Roman Emperor and the petty German states, they formed another Grand Alliance and\ndeclared war on France in 1702.

Furthermore, the extent or even presence of neuron loss following injury\nhas recently been challenged. In this study, we have used a range of transgenic recombinase driver mouse lines to genetically label\nmolecularly defined subpopulations of DRG neurons and track their survival following traumatic nerve injury. We find that spared\nnerve injury leads to a marked loss of cells containing DRG volume and a concomitant loss of small-diameter DRG neurons. Neuron\nloss occurs unequally across subpopulations and is particularly prevalent in nonpeptidergic nociceptors, marked by expression of\nMrgprd. We show that this subpopulation is almost entirely lost following spared nerve injury and severely depleted (by roughly 50%)\nfollowing sciatic nerve crush. Finally, we used an in vitro model of DRG neuron survival to demonstrate that nonpeptidergic\nnociceptor loss is likely dependent on the absence of neurotrophic support. Together, these results profile the extent to which DRG\nneuron subpopulations can survive axotomy, with implications for our understanding of nerve injury- induced plasticity and pain.\nKeywords: Sensory neuron, Neuron death, Transgenic reporter line, Neuropathic pain, Nerve injury\n1. Introduction\nDorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons represent a molecularly\nand functionally heterogeneous population. Under normal\nconditions, this diversity contributes to the ability of the\nsomatosensory nervous system to detect a myriad of sensory\nstimuli that result in the perceptions of touch, temperature,\nitch, and pain. Following nerve injury, physiological changes in DRG neurons lead to hyperexcitability, 57 which is a key pathological driver of neuropathic pain. 20,63 Concomitant\nmolecular changes in discrete subpopulations also occur,\nand these have recently been comprehensively described in single-cell 37,44 and subpopulation-specific sequencing stud- ies. 3 These studies describe a transient and generalized\nreduction in the expression of subpopulation-specific genes\nfollowing nerve injury. 3,37,44\nIn addition to molecular changes, there is a rich literature\ndescribing the frank loss of DRG neurons following traumatic\nnerve injury in experimental rodent models. 24,50,53,56 Some\nstudies have suggested that neuron loss occurs in certain patient cohorts, 48,66 but this is yet to be definitively demonstrated in\nhumans. In rodents, most studies support a preferential loss of small cells that give rise to unmyelinated fibers 53 but some contrasting studies describe the preferential loss of large cells 6 or loss of cells of all sizes. 46 Variation is evident across studies in", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "pubmed2.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Peripheral nerve injury results in a biased loss of sensory neuron subpopulations · ·\n\n### sensory neuron subpopulations\n\n#### Magdalena Redondo Canales a , Heather F.

Beyond loss of function, does\nDRG neuron loss contribute to chronic pain, in either an adaptive or\nmaladaptive manner? Intrathecal delivery of GDNF is neuro-\nprotective and reverses the reduction in the number of IB4-binding\nDRG neurons and central terminals seen following transection. 5\nTreatment is concurrently analgesic and abrogates pain-related behaviors. 7,60 However, the pleiotropic nature of GDNF makes it\nimpossible to directly attribute the analgesic effects to the reversal\nof neuron loss. Indeed, it is possible that GDNF exerts its effect by actions on intact nonpeptidergic nociceptive afferents, 52 activation\nof which is known to drive aversive behaviors in the neuropathic state. 62 These data leave the contribution of nonpeptidergic\nnociceptor loss to behavior in the GDNF treatment paradigm\nambiguous. Other pharmacological approaches have been found\neffective at reversing a neuronal loss in rodent models, but the\nimpact on pain behavior was not studied. 21,22\nRodents develop marked mechanical and thermal hypersen-\nsitivity rapidly following nerve injury and before timepoints at which neuron loss is observed. 10 This lack of a temporal\ncorrelation may suggest a limited contribution to evoked hyper-\nsensitivities. The temporal profile of ongoing tonic pain (eg, pain\naversiveness as measured by condition place preference\nassays 26 ) is less defined and so is its correlation to the timing of\nneuron loss.\nThere are many anatomical sites within the somatosensory\nnervous system where differential loss of sensory neuron\npopulations could impact neurobiology. For example, loss of\ncutaneous afferents may afford more opportunity for plasticity in\nreinnervation patterns, such as collateral sprouting of uninjured or\nsurviving afferents, and the types of nerve endings made by different molecular subpopulations. 17,27 It also seems likely that the\ndeath of many neurons within a DRG could contribute to the\nexpansion and activation of immune cell types, which are known to play a major role in neuropathic pain. 30,69 Finally, under normal\nconditions, peripheral sensory input is integrated into the dorsal\nhorn of the spinal cord by complex interneuron circuitry. Many\nspinal circuits are engaged by convergent input from different afferent types. 9,41,70 Therefore, selective loss of input from discrete\nafferent types could undoubtedly impact the normal processing of remaining afferent signals. 34 Experimentally abrogating neuronal\nloss may be a fruitful approach to assess the contribution to\nnervous system plasticity (adaptive or maladaptive) following injury.\nIn this regard, our in vitro readout would be a useful experimental", + "page_start": 11, + "page_end": 11, + "source_file": "pubmed2.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Peripheral nerve injury results in a biased loss of sensory neuron subpopulations · ·\n\n### sensory neuron subpopulations\n\n#### Magdalena Redondo Canales a , Heather F.

Spared nerve crush or transection results in death of\nMrgprd-expressing neurons\nTo date, determining cell loss among specific populations of\nafferent neurons has proved challenging due to the down-\nregulation of subpopulation-specific marker genes following axonal transection. 37,44 To overcome this issue, we took\nadvantage of transgenic strategies to label populations in\na manner that persisted after injury. Owing to the bias for the\nloss of small neurons and the known loss of IB4-binding central terminals postinjury, 36 we initially focused on nonpeptidergic nociceptive neurons. We used MrgD ChR2-YFP mice to identify\nneurons belonging to the largest of the 3 classes of non- peptidergic nociceptors, NP1. 55,59 To determine whether these\nneurons are lost following nerve injury, we used a stereological method to quantify L4 DRG MrgD-YFP 1 (yellow fluorescent\nprotein) neurons 28 days after sham surgery or SNI trans ( Figs. 3A\nand B ). SNI trans , but not sham, resulted in a significant decrease (54.0 6 6.6%) in the total number of MrgD-YFP 1 neurons in L4\nDRG ( Fig. 3C ). Yellow fluorescent protein expression in MrgD ChR2-YFP mice is\ndriven by the endogenous Mrgprd promotor, which has been\nreported to be upregulated or downregulated following axonal damage. 44,58 Such changes in promoter activity could affect the\nproportion of nonpeptidergic nociceptors identified by YFP\nexpression. Therefore, to verify these findings, we used\nMrgD CreERT2 ;Ai32 mice and tamoxifen administration before\ninjury, to permanently label Mrgprd- expressing afferents with\nChR2-YFP ( Figs. 3D- F ). We then tested whether the proportion of cutaneous tibial afferents that were YFP 1 was altered following\nnerve injury. Following hindpaw FB injection, ; 15% of contralat-\neral, FB-labelled DRG neurons expressed YFP. This was reduced\nto 6.0 6 1.2% 28 days after SNI crush injury and to only 1.7 6 0.9%\n28 days after SNI trans ( Fig. 3G ). Uptake by uninjured YFP 1\nneurons was equivalent 7 and 35 days after FB injection,\ndemonstrating that this reduction was not because 7 days were insufficient for YFP 1 [neurons to fully uptake FB (Fig. S3C, http://](http://links.lww.com/PAIN/C84)\n[links.lww.com/PAIN/C84). No significant difference in the per-](http://links.lww.com/PAIN/C84) centage of FB-labelled YFP 1 DRG neurons between ipsilateral\nand contralateral DRG was observed at 7 days following SNI trans\n[(Figs.

An EU Nature Restoration Plan: restoring ecosystems across land and sea**\n\n#### *2.2.1.* *Strengthening the EU legal framework for nature restoration*\n\nNature restoration is already partially required from the Member States in existing EU legislation 28 . However, **significant implementation and regulatory gaps hinder progress** . For instance, there is no requirement for Member States to have biodiversity restoration plans. There are not always clear or binding targets and timelines and no definition or criteria on restoration or on the sustainable use of ecosystems. There is also no requirement to comprehensively map, monitor or assess ecosystem services, health or restoration efforts. These issues are exacerbated by the gaps in implementation that prevent the existing legislation from achieving its objectives 29 . Stronger implementation support and enforcement is required. To ensure that nature restoration across land and sea picks up, increases the EU’s resilience, and contributes to climate change mitigation and adaptation as a key nature-based solution, this strategy puts forward two strands of actions:\n- Firstly, and subject to an impact assessment, the Commission will put forward a proposal for legally binding **EU nature restoration targets** in 2021 to restore degraded ecosystems, in particular those with the most potential to capture and store carbon and to prevent and reduce the impact of natural disasters. This will identify the conditions in which the targets must be met, as well as the most effective measures to reach them. The impact assessment will also look at the possibility of an EU-wide methodology to map, assess and achieve good condition of ecosystems so they can deliver benefits such as climate regulation, water regulation, soil health, pollination and disaster prevention and protection.\n- In that context, the Commission will request and support Member States to raise the level of implementation of existing legislation within clear deadlines. It will in particular request Member States to ensure **no deterioration in conservation trends and status** of all protected habitats and species by 2030 30 . In addition, Member States will have to ensure that at least 30% of species and habitats not", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 6, + "source_file": "legal5_eubiodiversity_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# EN EN\n\n## **4.

Global efforts under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity have largely been insufficient. Nature cannot afford any half measures or lack of ambition.\nIn this spirit, the EU is ready to lead all efforts - working with like-minded partners in **a high-ambition coalition on biodiversity** - to agree an ambitious new global framework for post-2020 at the upcoming 15 th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity.\nWith this strategy, the Commission proposes ambitious commitments for the EU to bring to the table. The EU should also support governments and stakeholders across the globe to significantly step up their ambition and their action.\nThe Commission proposes that the EU ensures that the post-2020 global framework includes, at a minimum, the elements outlined below:\n- Overarching global goals for biodiversity for 2050, in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the vision of ‘living in harmony with nature’. The ambition should be that, **by 2050, all of the world’s ecosystems are restored, resilient, and adequately protected.** The world should commit to the net-gain principle to give nature back more than it takes. The world should commit to no human-induced extinction of species, at minimum where avoidable.\n- Ambitious **global 2030 targets in line with EU commitments** in this strategy. These should clearly address the drivers of biodiversity loss and be specific, measurable, actionable, relevant and time-bound.\n- A much **stronger implementation, monitoring and review** process. Parties should revise their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans by the end of 2021, or as a minimum, submit national commitments for the most important targets.

While the EU has a solid legal framework in place to reduce pollution, greater efforts are still required. Biodiversity is suffering from the release of nutrients, chemical pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hazardous chemicals, urban and industrial wastewater, and other waste including litter and plastics.

This will result in the **reduction of use of fertilisers by at least 20%** . This will be achieved by implementing and enforcing the relevant environmental and climate legislation in full, identifying with Member States the nutrient load reductions needed to achieve these goals, applying balanced fertilisation and sustainable nutrient management, and by managing nitrogen and phosphorus better throughout their lifecycle.

An EU Nature Restoration Plan: restoring ecosystems across land and sea**\n\n#### *2.2.1.* *Strengthening the EU legal framework for nature restoration*\n\nNature restoration is already partially required from the Member States in existing EU legislation 28 . However, **significant implementation and regulatory gaps hinder progress** . For instance, there is no requirement for Member States to have biodiversity restoration plans. There are not always clear or binding targets and timelines and no definition or criteria on restoration or on the sustainable use of ecosystems. There is also no requirement to comprehensively map, monitor or assess ecosystem services, health or restoration efforts. These issues are exacerbated by the gaps in implementation that prevent the existing legislation from achieving its objectives 29 . Stronger implementation support and enforcement is required. To ensure that nature restoration across land and sea picks up, increases the EU’s resilience, and contributes to climate change mitigation and adaptation as a key nature-based solution, this strategy puts forward two strands of actions:\n- Firstly, and subject to an impact assessment, the Commission will put forward a proposal for legally binding **EU nature restoration targets** in 2021 to restore degraded ecosystems, in particular those with the most potential to capture and store carbon and to prevent and reduce the impact of natural disasters. This will identify the conditions in which the targets must be met, as well as the most effective measures to reach them. The impact assessment will also look at the possibility of an EU-wide methodology to map, assess and achieve good condition of ecosystems so they can deliver benefits such as climate regulation, water regulation, soil health, pollination and disaster prevention and protection.\n- In that context, the Commission will request and support Member States to raise the level of implementation of existing legislation within clear deadlines. It will in particular request Member States to ensure **no deterioration in conservation trends and status** of all protected habitats and species by 2030 30 .

This will help achieve a healthy population age and size distribution for fish stocks.\nThe **by-catch of species threatened with extinction** must also be eliminated or reduced to a level that allows full recovery.

The need for stronger action is all the more acute as marine and coastal ecosystem biodiversity loss is severely exacerbated by global warming 42 .\nAchieving good environmental status of marine ecosystems, including through strictly protected areas, must involve the restoration of carbon-rich ecosystems as well as important fish spawning and nursery areas. Some of today’s sea uses endanger food security, fishers’ livelihoods, and the fishery and seafood sectors. **Marine resources must be harvested sustainably and there must be zero-tolerance for illegal practices** . In this regard, the full implementation of the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and the Birds and Habitats Directives is essential.\nThe application of an ecosystem-based management approach under EU legislation 43 will reduce the adverse impacts of fishing, extraction and other human activities, especially on sensitive species and seabed habitats. To support this, **national maritime spatial plans** , which Member States have to deliver in 2021, should aim at covering all maritime sectors and activities, as well as area-based conservation-management measures. 44 The Commission will also propose a **new action plan to conserve fisheries resources and protect marine ecosystems** by 2021. Where necessary, measures will be introduced to limit the use of fishing gear most harmful to biodiversity, including on the seabed. It will also look at how to reconcile the use of bottom-contacting fishing gear with biodiversity goals, given it is now the most damaging activity to the seabed. This must be done in a fair and just way for all.

There are large-scale programs available across the country providing flood protection\nmeasures for communities at risk, such as Intact’s Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants. This\nprogram is helping build the resilience of communities and homes through a variety of\npreventative actions.\nWetlands can reduce flood risk by absorbing large quantities of water, but they are not typically\nfound in cities. In Vancouver, B.C., Environmental Youth Alliance and Strathcona Community\nGardens created a wetland on downtown’s east side, an area historically prone to flooding. Made\nup of natural elements like ponds and marshes, the wetland reduces the community’s flood risk\nby catching and absorbing rainfall and runoff from surrounding surfaces.\nKnowing the risks is the first step to protecting homes and communities. In New Brunswick, the\nCity of Fredericton launched a Neighbourhood Flood Risk Tool to provide easy access to online\nflood prevention guidance. Residents can input their addresses to see if they are at risk and learn\ntips to reduce the risk of flooding around their properties. The portal launched in the summer of\n2023 and was viewed 27,000 times in its first year.\nRebate programs are a powerful motivation for homeowners to make upgrades that might\notherwise be put off. In PEI, the City of Charlottetown offered rebates covering 75 per cent of\neligible material and labour costs, up to a maximum of $1,000. More than 90 properties\ncompleted upgrades, including installing sump pumps, backup batteries, backwater valves, and\nwater monitors and alarms, to better prepare them for extreme weather events.\nCommunities can learn more about the grant program and how to apply at intactfc.com/mcrg.\n−\n+\n+\nNews Canada and L'édition Nouvelles are either registered trademarks or trademarks of News Canada Inc.

Results\n\n### (a) Climate-change impacts at 2 ° C global warming\n\n2°C, although the geographical variation is still dominated by the non-climatic factors ( figure 7 ).\nTherefore, the ensemble-mean change is a reasonable guide to the results.\nThe ensemble mean is higher in nearly all assessed countries relative to the baseline ( figure 8 ).\nThe greatest increase was in Oman, followed by India, Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia, then Brazil\nand a number of its neighbouring countries. Smaller increases in HCVI were seen across Africa.\nSoutheastern Africa showed larger increases than Central Africa. The HCVI decreased in three\ncountries: Mali, Burkino Faso and Sudan.\nThe ensemble members showed broadly consistent changes in HCVI at 2°C global warming,\nwith increases in most assessed countries and generally similar sets of countries experiencing the\nlargest and smallest changes. Southeastern Africa consistently showed larger increases in HCVI\nthan Central Africa, due to increased length of drought events projected in all ensemble members\n(not shown). The length of flood events was not projected to increase in this region. The Sahel\nregion consistently showed one or more countries with a small decrease in the HCVI, although\nthe precise country or countries varied between ensemble members. The decrease in HCVI here\nwas due to projected decreases in length of drought, with length of flood events projected to\nchange little.\nIndia is projected to see increased HCVI by all ensemble members, due to a consistent increase\nin length of flood events projected in all members, outweighing the beneficial impact of decreased\nlength of drought which is again projected in all members.\nBrazil is projected to see increased HCVI, but for reasons which vary between ensemble\nmembers. Although the location of projected longer flood events varies across the country in\ndifferent members, the aggregation of the HCVI to the country level renders this geographical\nvariability irrelevant for such a large country because only the median value across the country\nis used in the HCVI.

There are large-scale programs available across the country providing flood protection\nmeasures for communities at risk, such as Intact’s Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants. This\nprogram is helping build the resilience of communities and homes through a variety of\npreventative actions.\nWetlands can reduce flood risk by absorbing large quantities of water, but they are not typically\nfound in cities. In Vancouver, B.C., Environmental Youth Alliance and Strathcona Community\nGardens created a wetland on downtown’s east side, an area historically prone to flooding. Made\nup of natural elements like ponds and marshes, the wetland reduces the community’s flood risk\nby catching and absorbing rainfall and runoff from surrounding surfaces.\nKnowing the risks is the first step to protecting homes and communities. In New Brunswick, the\nCity of Fredericton launched a Neighbourhood Flood Risk Tool to provide easy access to online\nflood prevention guidance. Residents can input their addresses to see if they are at risk and learn\ntips to reduce the risk of flooding around their properties. The portal launched in the summer of\n2023 and was viewed 27,000 times in its first year.\nRebate programs are a powerful motivation for homeowners to make upgrades that might\notherwise be put off. In PEI, the City of Charlottetown offered rebates covering 75 per cent of\neligible material and labour costs, up to a maximum of $1,000. More than 90 properties\ncompleted upgrades, including installing sump pumps, backup batteries, backwater valves, and\nwater monitors and alarms, to better prepare them for extreme weather events.\nCommunities can learn more about the grant program and how to apply at intactfc.com/mcrg.\n−\n+\n+\nNews Canada and L'édition Nouvelles are either registered trademarks or trademarks of News Canada Inc.

These events are manageable and estimated as a once in\n50 years possibility.\nThe breakwater core will be used as a construction causeway allowing land based equipment to\nperform the work. The greater part of the breakwater work involves winning the material as\nopposed to actual construction.\n##### **E. CYCLONE MOORINGS.**\nThe extent of the cyclone problem in Australia’s north and north west was emphasised when\nCyclone Tracey struck Darwin in 1974. The most powerful cyclone to cross the Australian coast\nwas Cyclone Vance in 1999, which passed near Dampier, destroying large parts of the towns of\nOnslow and Exmouth further to the south.\nThe problem is acute, particularly in the area between Exmouth and Port Hedland, which suffers\ncyclones of an intensity and frequency as high as anywhere in the world. The Mermaid Base is\ntypically on cyclone alert three times per season. The season is November to April.\nTo date there have been three options available to vessel owners when a cyclone approaches:.\n- Run to sea\n- Take refuge with crew onboard, on a mooring in the most sheltered location available such\nas the Dampier Archipelago or the Monte Bello Islands.\n- Construct a cyclone shelter.\nThere are serious personal safety and environmental considerations related to Options 1 and 2\nand it is obvious that best practice universally adopted by large responsible Companies can be\nsatisfied in this way.\nOnly Woodside at Dampier and BHP at Port Hedand have taken the step of building shelters\nwhich provides protection to 12 of the region’s 60 vessels and this at very considerable cost.\nMermaid has undertaken significant engineering work on the placing of vessels on partially\nsheltered spread moorings, allowing the vessels to be secured near to shore and the crews\ndemobilized to take care of their families and attend to household cyclone preparation.\nMermaid is taking a leadership role with a technical solution which will lead to wider adoption\nas vessel owners and the insurance industry fully value the arrangements.

DREDGING**\nApproximately 700,000 m3 of material is to be dredged in King Bay to form an entrance\nchannel, vessel berths, cyclone moorings and to provide access to the slipway.\nThe experience of Woodside constructing their nearby base in 1981 indicates that two types of\ndredges will be required, a Cutter Suction to remove the soft unconsolidated material (approx.70%)\nand a Dipper Dredge (barge mounted back-hoe) to remove harder consolidated material.\nThe Cutter Suction dredge size will be deliberately modest due to onshore spoil management\nrequirement and environmental considerations.\nThe Dipper Dredge will be the largest of its type in the world, and will be an ideal remedial\ndredging tool using the experience gained from the earlier Woodside project.\nThe layout of the Base has been very much driven by the desire to avoid or minimize blasting\nwhile fulfilling functional objectives.\nThe entrance channel into the Mermaid Base will be 30 m wide and dredged to 6 m below chart\ndatum. The dredge spoil will be pumped ashore and used as fill around the Base.\nDredges are expected to be onsite for approximately 7 months commencing mid November.\n##### **B. QUAY WALL ( BERTH 1)**\nMarket research and customer needs have caused Mermaid to relocate and redesign the main\nberth to accommodate a wider range of vessels than originally contemplated. The berth is now\nlocated in deeper water with better vessel access.\nThe regional offshore fleet characteristics have been changing in terms of vessel size. There are\nnow four vessels operating in the region with 12,000 to 18,000 hp. When design commenced\nthere were none of this size.\nThe depth alongside Berth 1 will be 7.5m. King Bay has a statistical average extreme low tide\n(MLWS) of 0.9 m, the occurrence of which can be expressed in hours per month.

First class engineering facilities have been planned\nand highly experienced management recruited. Alternative slipways offering\ncomparable capacity are only to be found in Darwin or Fremantle, a sea journey of\napproximately 1000 miles from this operational region. Australia has emerged as a\ncentre of excellence with respect to vessel repair work, the Dampier facility will both\nbenefit from and protect that valuable reputation.\nRehabilitated land for buildings and storage will finally extend over 17 hectares. The\nmajor oilfield services company Halliburton, have been attracted to the base as a\ntenant and a $1.1m purpose built building is being constructed for their use.\nNegotiations are also proceeding with other groups who recognise the unique\nadvantages of operating from this strategically positioned Base. Rental income and\nassociated revenues such as plant and labour hire will contribute significantly to the\noverall economics of the facility.\nProtected moorings for cyclone shelter will be established inside the breakwater for\nlong term lease to local tug operators. The demand arises from serious vessel and crew\nsafety considerations. The Dampier Port Authority are reluctant to see the continued\nuse of cyclone moorings in the Harbour, not only for safety reasons, but for\nenvironmental concerns as well.

There are large-scale programs available across the country providing flood protection\nmeasures for communities at risk, such as Intact’s Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants. This\nprogram is helping build the resilience of communities and homes through a variety of\npreventative actions.\nWetlands can reduce flood risk by absorbing large quantities of water, but they are not typically\nfound in cities. In Vancouver, B.C., Environmental Youth Alliance and Strathcona Community\nGardens created a wetland on downtown’s east side, an area historically prone to flooding. Made\nup of natural elements like ponds and marshes, the wetland reduces the community’s flood risk\nby catching and absorbing rainfall and runoff from surrounding surfaces.\nKnowing the risks is the first step to protecting homes and communities. In New Brunswick, the\nCity of Fredericton launched a Neighbourhood Flood Risk Tool to provide easy access to online\nflood prevention guidance. Residents can input their addresses to see if they are at risk and learn\ntips to reduce the risk of flooding around their properties. The portal launched in the summer of\n2023 and was viewed 27,000 times in its first year.\nRebate programs are a powerful motivation for homeowners to make upgrades that might\notherwise be put off. In PEI, the City of Charlottetown offered rebates covering 75 per cent of\neligible material and labour costs, up to a maximum of $1,000. More than 90 properties\ncompleted upgrades, including installing sump pumps, backup batteries, backwater valves, and\nwater monitors and alarms, to better prepare them for extreme weather events.\nCommunities can learn more about the grant program and how to apply at intactfc.com/mcrg.\n−\n+\n+\nNews Canada and L'édition Nouvelles are either registered trademarks or trademarks of News Canada Inc.

The exposure component comprised proxies for the average length of flood and\ndrought events calculated with daily precipitation data [ 23 ] ( table 2 ). These proxies were chosen\nabove other possible metrics as they were required to replace self-reported instances of flood\nand drought events used in the original HCVI, which correlate with undernutrition data at the\ncountry-level [ 23 ]. The proxies were therefore masked to only include data where a significant\nproportion of people live and grow crops before aggregating to country level and combining to\ncomprise a measure of exposure [ 23 ]; nevertheless, it is recognized that precipitation data alone\nmay not always be adequate for representing flood and drought events, so the current method is\nregarded as preliminary.\nThe impacts of projected climate change, therefore, act through changes in these quantities.

Social and political landscape**\n\nservices and the whole welfare state won't remain sustainable for long with traditional means,\ncontinue to arrive, therefore strengthening the search for radical, innovative and cost-effective\nsolutions.\nBesides costs, another practical driver and justification for Open Data that is becoming more and\n*4/34*\nmore concrete over time is damage control. In a world that produces digital data without\ninterruption, uncontrolled and unpredictable data releases are facts of life that are very hard to\npredict, practically impossible to avoid and increasingly common.

In such cases, it will be unavoidable not reach sometimes, even in good faith, wrong\nconclusions. This is not some theoretical possibility far in the future, as this real world example\n(from a comment to an [Open Data discussion in an italian blog](http://www.cottica.net/2010/09/16/spaghetti-open-data-reloaded/) ) proves:\n\" *on the* *[non italian]* *Geonames website you can download geo-referenced data*\n*about... 47000 Italian municipalities.

Emerging trends and issues related to Open**\n\n### **3.6. Clearer vision of the real risks and limits of Open Data**\n\n#### **3.6.6. Unprepared Public Administrators**\n\nIt is undeniable that today, especially at the local level, most Public Administrators that should or\nmay contribute to open the public data held by their organizations still ignore, and sometimes\ndisdain, Open Data proposals, principles and practices. This happens for many reasons. We'll only\nmention two of them that are quite common. They are interesting because, while being somewhat\nrelated and sharing common origins, one is very hard to fix, the other, at least in comparison, very\neasy.\nTo begin with, most of these administrators are people that, albeit very competent and committed to\ntheir work, were not really trained to live with so much of what they perceive as \"their\" documents\nand daily activities as Open Data implies regularly exposed to the public. This is true even among\nadministrators who are already well acquainted with mainstream \"Web 2.0\" practices. Many\nofficers who already have a regular presence on Facebook, Twitter or other social networks and\nregularly use those platforms to discuss their work with their constituents feel diffident about Open\nData in the same measure as their colleagues who don't even use computers yet. A cultural barrier\nlike this requires both strong demand from citizens and detailed examples of how Open Data can be\ngood for the local budget to be overcome in acceptable time frames.\nAnother factor that may keep administrators away from Open Data is the more or less unconscious\nassumption that, in order to use them, a City Major or Region Governor should be very skilled\nhimself, if not with actual programming, with \"Web 2.0\" tools, modern online services and/or\ngeneral software engineering principles.

Furthermore, the extent or even presence of neuron loss following injury\nhas recently been challenged. In this study, we have used a range of transgenic recombinase driver mouse lines to genetically label\nmolecularly defined subpopulations of DRG neurons and track their survival following traumatic nerve injury. We find that spared\nnerve injury leads to a marked loss of cells containing DRG volume and a concomitant loss of small-diameter DRG neurons. Neuron\nloss occurs unequally across subpopulations and is particularly prevalent in nonpeptidergic nociceptors, marked by expression of\nMrgprd. We show that this subpopulation is almost entirely lost following spared nerve injury and severely depleted (by roughly 50%)\nfollowing sciatic nerve crush. Finally, we used an in vitro model of DRG neuron survival to demonstrate that nonpeptidergic\nnociceptor loss is likely dependent on the absence of neurotrophic support. Together, these results profile the extent to which DRG\nneuron subpopulations can survive axotomy, with implications for our understanding of nerve injury- induced plasticity and pain.\nKeywords: Sensory neuron, Neuron death, Transgenic reporter line, Neuropathic pain, Nerve injury\n1. Introduction\nDorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons represent a molecularly\nand functionally heterogeneous population. Under normal\nconditions, this diversity contributes to the ability of the\nsomatosensory nervous system to detect a myriad of sensory\nstimuli that result in the perceptions of touch, temperature,\nitch, and pain. Following nerve injury, physiological changes in DRG neurons lead to hyperexcitability, 57 which is a key pathological driver of neuropathic pain. 20,63 Concomitant\nmolecular changes in discrete subpopulations also occur,\nand these have recently been comprehensively described in single-cell 37,44 and subpopulation-specific sequencing stud- ies. 3 These studies describe a transient and generalized\nreduction in the expression of subpopulation-specific genes\nfollowing nerve injury. 3,37,44\nIn addition to molecular changes, there is a rich literature\ndescribing the frank loss of DRG neurons following traumatic\nnerve injury in experimental rodent models. 24,50,53,56 Some\nstudies have suggested that neuron loss occurs in certain patient cohorts, 48,66 but this is yet to be definitively demonstrated in\nhumans. In rodents, most studies support a preferential loss of small cells that give rise to unmyelinated fibers 53 but some contrasting studies describe the preferential loss of large cells 6 or loss of cells of all sizes. 46 Variation is evident across studies in", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "pubmed2.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Peripheral nerve injury results in a biased loss of sensory neuron subpopulations · ·\n\n### sensory neuron subpopulations\n\n#### Magdalena Redondo Canales a , Heather F.

The boundary\nbetween “medium” and “large” bins (400 m m 3 ) was less clearly\ndefined in the samples and was therefore set as the approximate\nmidpoint of the volume distribution.

Spared nerve crush or transection results in death of\nMrgprd-expressing neurons\nTo date, determining cell loss among specific populations of\nafferent neurons has proved challenging due to the down-\nregulation of subpopulation-specific marker genes following axonal transection. 37,44 To overcome this issue, we took\nadvantage of transgenic strategies to label populations in\na manner that persisted after injury. Owing to the bias for the\nloss of small neurons and the known loss of IB4-binding central terminals postinjury, 36 we initially focused on nonpeptidergic nociceptive neurons. We used MrgD ChR2-YFP mice to identify\nneurons belonging to the largest of the 3 classes of non- peptidergic nociceptors, NP1. 55,59 To determine whether these\nneurons are lost following nerve injury, we used a stereological method to quantify L4 DRG MrgD-YFP 1 (yellow fluorescent\nprotein) neurons 28 days after sham surgery or SNI trans ( Figs. 3A\nand B ). SNI trans , but not sham, resulted in a significant decrease (54.0 6 6.6%) in the total number of MrgD-YFP 1 neurons in L4\nDRG ( Fig. 3C ). Yellow fluorescent protein expression in MrgD ChR2-YFP mice is\ndriven by the endogenous Mrgprd promotor, which has been\nreported to be upregulated or downregulated following axonal damage. 44,58 Such changes in promoter activity could affect the\nproportion of nonpeptidergic nociceptors identified by YFP\nexpression. Therefore, to verify these findings, we used\nMrgD CreERT2 ;Ai32 mice and tamoxifen administration before\ninjury, to permanently label Mrgprd- expressing afferents with\nChR2-YFP ( Figs. 3D- F ). We then tested whether the proportion of cutaneous tibial afferents that were YFP 1 was altered following\nnerve injury. Following hindpaw FB injection, ; 15% of contralat-\neral, FB-labelled DRG neurons expressed YFP. This was reduced\nto 6.0 6 1.2% 28 days after SNI crush injury and to only 1.7 6 0.9%\n28 days after SNI trans ( Fig. 3G ). Uptake by uninjured YFP 1\nneurons was equivalent 7 and 35 days after FB injection,\ndemonstrating that this reduction was not because 7 days were insufficient for YFP 1 [neurons to fully uptake FB (Fig. S3C, http://](http://links.lww.com/PAIN/C84)\n[links.lww.com/PAIN/C84). No significant difference in the per-](http://links.lww.com/PAIN/C84) centage of FB-labelled YFP 1 DRG neurons between ipsilateral\nand contralateral DRG was observed at 7 days following SNI trans\n[(Figs.

Following pilot experiments to optimize\ntamoxifen dosing regimen, this approach was both highly efficient\nand specific (with the caveat that it was necessary to wait for\nseveral days after nerve injury for Cre-induced GFP expression):\n14 days after SNI trans surgery, GFP was expressed by 99.1 6\n0.6% of Atf3-expressing ipsilateral L4 DRG neurons, while we\nobserved GFP in only 4.6 6 0.7% of contralateral DRG neurons\n[(Figs.

Spared nerve crush or transection results in death of\nMrgprd-expressing neurons\nTo date, determining cell loss among specific populations of\nafferent neurons has proved challenging due to the down-\nregulation of subpopulation-specific marker genes following axonal transection. 37,44 To overcome this issue, we took\nadvantage of transgenic strategies to label populations in\na manner that persisted after injury. Owing to the bias for the\nloss of small neurons and the known loss of IB4-binding central terminals postinjury, 36 we initially focused on nonpeptidergic nociceptive neurons. We used MrgD ChR2-YFP mice to identify\nneurons belonging to the largest of the 3 classes of non- peptidergic nociceptors, NP1. 55,59 To determine whether these\nneurons are lost following nerve injury, we used a stereological method to quantify L4 DRG MrgD-YFP 1 (yellow fluorescent\nprotein) neurons 28 days after sham surgery or SNI trans ( Figs. 3A\nand B ). SNI trans , but not sham, resulted in a significant decrease (54.0 6 6.6%) in the total number of MrgD-YFP 1 neurons in L4\nDRG ( Fig. 3C ). Yellow fluorescent protein expression in MrgD ChR2-YFP mice is\ndriven by the endogenous Mrgprd promotor, which has been\nreported to be upregulated or downregulated following axonal damage. 44,58 Such changes in promoter activity could affect the\nproportion of nonpeptidergic nociceptors identified by YFP\nexpression. Therefore, to verify these findings, we used\nMrgD CreERT2 ;Ai32 mice and tamoxifen administration before\ninjury, to permanently label Mrgprd- expressing afferents with\nChR2-YFP ( Figs. 3D- F ). We then tested whether the proportion of cutaneous tibial afferents that were YFP 1 was altered following\nnerve injury. Following hindpaw FB injection, ; 15% of contralat-\neral, FB-labelled DRG neurons expressed YFP. This was reduced\nto 6.0 6 1.2% 28 days after SNI crush injury and to only 1.7 6 0.9%\n28 days after SNI trans ( Fig. 3G ). Uptake by uninjured YFP 1\nneurons was equivalent 7 and 35 days after FB injection,\ndemonstrating that this reduction was not because 7 days were insufficient for YFP 1 [neurons to fully uptake FB (Fig. S3C, http://](http://links.lww.com/PAIN/C84)\n[links.lww.com/PAIN/C84).

Furthermore, the extent or even presence of neuron loss following injury\nhas recently been challenged. In this study, we have used a range of transgenic recombinase driver mouse lines to genetically label\nmolecularly defined subpopulations of DRG neurons and track their survival following traumatic nerve injury. We find that spared\nnerve injury leads to a marked loss of cells containing DRG volume and a concomitant loss of small-diameter DRG neurons. Neuron\nloss occurs unequally across subpopulations and is particularly prevalent in nonpeptidergic nociceptors, marked by expression of\nMrgprd. We show that this subpopulation is almost entirely lost following spared nerve injury and severely depleted (by roughly 50%)\nfollowing sciatic nerve crush. Finally, we used an in vitro model of DRG neuron survival to demonstrate that nonpeptidergic\nnociceptor loss is likely dependent on the absence of neurotrophic support. Together, these results profile the extent to which DRG\nneuron subpopulations can survive axotomy, with implications for our understanding of nerve injury- induced plasticity and pain.\nKeywords: Sensory neuron, Neuron death, Transgenic reporter line, Neuropathic pain, Nerve injury\n1. Introduction\nDorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons represent a molecularly\nand functionally heterogeneous population. Under normal\nconditions, this diversity contributes to the ability of the\nsomatosensory nervous system to detect a myriad of sensory\nstimuli that result in the perceptions of touch, temperature,\nitch, and pain. Following nerve injury, physiological changes in DRG neurons lead to hyperexcitability, 57 which is a key pathological driver of neuropathic pain. 20,63 Concomitant\nmolecular changes in discrete subpopulations also occur,\nand these have recently been comprehensively described in single-cell 37,44 and subpopulation-specific sequencing stud- ies. 3 These studies describe a transient and generalized\nreduction in the expression of subpopulation-specific genes\nfollowing nerve injury. 3,37,44\nIn addition to molecular changes, there is a rich literature\ndescribing the frank loss of DRG neurons following traumatic\nnerve injury in experimental rodent models. 24,50,53,56 Some\nstudies have suggested that neuron loss occurs in certain patient cohorts, 48,66 but this is yet to be definitively demonstrated in\nhumans. In rodents, most studies support a preferential loss of small cells that give rise to unmyelinated fibers 53 but some contrasting studies describe the preferential loss of large cells 6 or loss of cells of all sizes. 46 Variation is evident across studies in", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 0, + "source_file": "pubmed2.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Peripheral nerve injury results in a biased loss of sensory neuron subpopulations · ·\n\n### sensory neuron subpopulations\n\n#### Magdalena Redondo Canales a , Heather F.

Peripheral nerve injury induces a loss of small neurons\nfrom the dorsal root ganglion\nTo assess the gross loss of neurons from DRG following nerve\ninjury, we generated the Avil FlpO ;Atf3 CreERT2 ;RC::FLTG mouse\nline in which na ̈ıve and axotomized sensory neurons were\ndifferentially labelled. In this mouse line, all neurons express\ntdTomato (Flp-dependent) in the na ̈ıve state and switch to\nexpressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) upon axonal damage\nand concurrent tamoxifen treatment (Flp- and Cre-dependent)\n( Figs. 1A and B ). Following pilot experiments to optimize\ntamoxifen dosing regimen, this approach was both highly efficient\nand specific (with the caveat that it was necessary to wait for\nseveral days after nerve injury for Cre-induced GFP expression):\n14 days after SNI trans surgery, GFP was expressed by 99.1 6\n0.6% of Atf3-expressing ipsilateral L4 DRG neurons, while we\nobserved GFP in only 4.6 6 0.7% of contralateral DRG neurons\n[(Figs. S2A- D, http://links.lww.com/PAIN/C84). We then used](http://links.lww.com/PAIN/C84)\na stereological approach to quantify the total number of neurons\nin L4 DRG ipsilateral to injury 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks after SNI trans, as\nwell as contralateral to injury. One week after SNI trans , we\nobserved 7809 6 153 neurons per DRG; this was not significantly\ndifferent to the number of neurons in the contralateral DRG\n(7917 6 349), whereas cell number approximately halved by\n8 weeks postinjury to 3963 6 410 neurons per DRG ( Fig. 1C ).\nSeparating analysis into intact vs axotomized afferents revealed\nthat only axotomized afferents were lost, with no difference\nobserved in numbers of intact afferents ( Fig. 1D ).

Methods\n2.1. Animals\nMice were housed in groups in humidity- and temperature-controlled\nrooms with free access to food and water, on a 12-hour light- dark\ncycle, and with environmental enrichment. Animal procedures were\nperformed under a UK Home Office Project Licence and in\naccordance with the UK Home Office (Scientific Procedures) Act\n(1986). All studies were approved by the Ethical Review Process\nApplicationsPaneloftheUniversityofGlasgoworOxfordandconform\nto the ARRIVE guidelines. Experiments were performed on adult male\nandfemalemiceaged7to16weeksatthestartoftheexperiments.All\nexperimental cohorts contained a mix of male and female mice, apart\nfrom the cohort of Mrgprd CreERT2 ;Ai32 mice that underwent SNI crush\nsurgery, which was exclusively female. Details of transgenic lines are\nprovided in Table 1 . Tamoxifen was administered by i.p. injection of\n20 mg/mL tamoxifen (Sigma-Aldrich) dissolved in wheat germ oil\n(doses described in Table 1 ). There were 2 instances where animals\nwere excluded from data analysis: One (cyan fluorescent protein)\nThy1-CFP died of unknown causes not related to the procedure and\nbefore the experimental endpoint, and one MrgD CreERT2 ;Ai32\nexhibited no fluorophore expression and was therefore deemed to\nhave been incorrectly genotyped. Group sizes were based on the\nextent of neuronal loss 28d following sciatic nerve transection identified by Shi et al. 50 Given a 5 0.05, power 5 0.8, and an effect\nsize of 4.81, power analysis projects that a group size of 3 mice would\nbe needed.\n2.2. Spared nerve transection and crush surgeries\nSpared nerve injury (transection of the common peroneal and\ntibial branches of the sciatic nerve; SNI trans ) and common\nperoneal and tibial crush injury (SNI crush ), in which nerve axons\nwere severed but the epineurium remained intact, were performed as previously described. 12 Anesthesia was induced\nwith 3% to 5% isoflurane and then maintained at 1.5% to 2% as\nrequired. Analgesia, consisting of carprofen (10 mg/kg) and\nbuprenorphine (0.05 mg/kg) (Glasgow) or carprofen (5 mg/kg)\nand local bupivacaine (2 mg/kg) (Oxford) was provided perioper-\natively. The left hindpaw was secured with tape in hip abduction,\nand the operative field (lateral surface of the thigh) was shaved.\nOphthalmic ointment was applied to the eyes, and the shaved\narea was swabbed with chlorhexidine solution.

This is especially\nimportant if you are a distance learning student (www.oxbridgeacademy.\nco.za/distance-learning/), as you won’t have a teacher or lecturer to\npoint out key concepts, or to give you tips about the types of questions\nyou can expect in the exams.\nSUMMARISING YOUR WORK GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO:\n- Organise your study material into a structure that makes sense to you.\n- Arrange your study material into a format that suits your learning style.\n- Create memory aids for yourself.\n- Identify key ideas and concepts.\n- Focus on what’s important.\n- Prepare for exams more easily.\nSO WHAT EXACTLY IS A SUMMARY?\nA summary is more than just a condensed or shortened version of your\nwork. A summary requires you to analyse your study material, to identify\nthe key concepts, and to explain it in your own words.\nTo make a good summary, you need to:\n- Keep it brief.\n- Make sure to use main headings and keywords.\n- Focus on the main ideas.\n- Classify and organise the information in a logical manner.\n- Use your own words where possible.\n- Include examples.\n- Remember that your summaries are there to help you.\nYOU CAN MAKE YOUR SUMMARIES IN DIFFERENT FOR­ MATS. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES:\nMind Maps (Spider Diagrams)\nA mind map is a visual expression of thoughts, ideas and concepts. It\nusually takes the form of a diagram, with the main concept in the centre,\nand the related concepts branching out from there. Here is an example:\n\nPayroll Contracts\n**HR**\n**Manager’s Duties**\nStaff\nTraining\nDiscipline\nThe benefits of using mind maps include the following:\n- They help you to see how the different bits of information fit into the\nbigger picture.\n- They help you to understand the relationships between concepts.\n- They help you to memorise information more quickly (by engaging both hemispheres of your brain).\nTips for making mind maps:", + "page_start": 26, + "page_end": 29, + "source_file": "basic-english-language-skills.PDF" + }, + { + "text": "# BASIC ENGLISH language skills\n\n## **6**\n\n###### CHAPTER 8:\n\nyou make spelling mistakes, you will give your tutors a bad impression,\nas it makes your writing look sloppy.\n####### **Check that you have typed in the correct e-mail address.**\nIt’s easy to type in the wrong address by mistake.\n####### **Take care when sending attachments.**\nIf you need to send an attachment, make sure that it is in an accessible\nfile format, and that the size doesn’t exceed the maximum\nlimit. Many e-mail clients limit the size of attachments to 5 MB -- and if\nyour attachment exceeds this size, your e-mail might not be delivered.\n####### **Say “thank you”.**\nIf you receive a reply from your tutor, it is good manners to acknowledge\nreceipt of the response by sending a “thank you” e- mail.\n\nBy following these tips, you are more likely to establish good relationships\nwith your tutors, as well as to get the type of academic support that\nyou need.\n**Remember that asking for help is a sign of strength. And asking for help early on in your studies will increase your chances of success.**\n###### CHAPTER 8:\nTIPS FOR COMPLETING YOUR WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS\nDepending on which course you study, you will either be assessed\nby means of written assignments, or through a combination of\nwritten assignments and exams. Assignments not only help to\ndeepen your understanding of the work, but they often also count\ntoward your final mark.\nIt is therefore important that you put effort into your assignments,\nand that you complete them to the best of your ability.\nWe realise that, like many other students, you might be unsure of\nhow to go about completing your assignments, or that you might be\nafraid of failure.\nIf you are an Oxbridge Academy student, we’d like you to know\nthat we are here to help you every step of the way, and that we will\ngive you the opportunity to resubmit your assignments if you don’t\nachieve a pass mark the first time around.\nHERE ARE 10 TIPS FOR HOW YOU CAN ACHIEVE HIGHER MARKS FOR YOUR WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS:\n1. Read (and follow) the instructions carefully.\nIf you are an Oxbridge Academy student, the general assignment\nguidelines will be provided in your “Success” Study Guide. Specific\ninstructions will also be included at the beginning of each of your", + "page_start": 35, + "page_end": 37, + "source_file": "basic-english-language-skills.PDF" + }, + { + "text": "# BASIC ENGLISH language skills\n\n## **6**\n\n####### **Proofread your e-mail.**\n\nAnd if you are studying via distance learning (www.oxbridgeacademy.co.\nza/distance-learning/), where you don’t have any face-to-face interac­\ntion with lecturers, you will need to rely on your tutors for the necessary\nacademic support.\nIf you have any questions about your course work, you are always\nwelcome to approach your tutors for help. Just remember that your\ntutors cannot guess what your needs are: you will have to make\ncontact with your tutors and communicate your questions clearly if\nyou want to get the assistance that you need.\nWhen it comes to contacting your tutors, your best option will\nusually be to send an e-mail.\nHere are some important tips to keep in mind when\nrequesting help from a tutor via e-mail:\n**Use a relevant and descriptive subject line.**\nThis way, your tutor will immediately know what your e-mail is\nabout, and he or she will be more likely to open it. A good subject\nline might read as follows: “Enquiry regarding Assignment 1 for\nSafety Management 101”\n####### **Be polite, and use an appropriate form of address.**\nAlways start your e-mail with an appropriate form of address,\nsuch as “Hello Mr/Ms ...” and sign it off with your full name and\nstudent number. This will help to give your message a friendly, yet\nprofessional tone.\n####### **Be clear and concise.**\nMake sure that your tutor will be able to understand what it is that\nyou are asking.\nCompare the following examples:\nExample A\nExample B\nBy stating the problem clearly, and by asking a specific question that\nyou would like your tutor to answer, such as in example B, you are much\nmore likely to get a meaningful response from your tutor.\n####### **Don’t use text-speak (such as “ur” and “pls”) in your e-mail.**\nNot only does this look unprofessional, but your tutor may have a hard\ntime understanding what it is that you are trying to say. You should also\navoid using emoticons ( ;-) ), as these don’t belong in formal communica­\ntion.\n####### **Proofread your e-mail.**\nRead through your e-mail to make sure you have:\n- Stated your question/problem clearly.\n- Used a suitable tone.\n- Used correct grammar.\n\nAlso use spellcheck to make sure that there are no spelling mistakes.

If you\nstart reading through the job descriptions in a industry, you will find that the vast\nmajority of jobs require one or more of the following:\n- Effective communication skills\n- Interpersonal skills\n- Ability to work in a team\n- Negotiation skills\n- Conflict resolution skills\n- Report writing skills\nWhat all of these skills have in common is that they involve the use of", + "page_start": 1, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "basic-english-language-skills.PDF" + }, + { + "text": "# 2021 No. 582 PUBLIC HEALTH, ENGLAND The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and [...]\n\n## Operator Liability) (England) Regulations 2021\n\n### SCHEDULES\n\n#### territories\n\n###### **Modification of application of this Schedule where P is a relevant person**\n\nsub-paragraph (4), where it is necessary for P to care for that relevant person, and where the\nSecretary of State has confirmed in writing that this paragraph applies in relation to P and has not\nwithdrawn that confirmation.\n(6) P is also a relevant person if—\n(a) P needs to visit a person (“D”) whom P reasonably believes is dying, or where D is\nseverely ill;\n(b) P is a member of D’s household or a close family member or friend of D;\n(c) it would not be reasonably practicable for P to visit D if P were required to self-isolate in\ndesignated accommodation; and\n(d) the Secretary of State has confirmed in writing that this paragraph applies in relation to P\nand has not withdrawn that confirmation.\n(7) In this paragraph—\n(a) “boarding school” means a school or college, which—\n(i) provides accommodation for its pupils or, as the case may be, students on its own\npremises, or\n(ii) arranges accommodation for its pupils or students to be provided elsewhere (other\nthan in connection with a residential trip away from the school);\n(b) “school” means—\n(i) an alternative provision academy within the meaning of section 1C of the Academies\nAct 2010( **a** ),\n(ii) a community, foundation or voluntary school or a community or foundation special\nschool within the meaning of section 20 of the School Standards and Framework Act\n1998( **b** ),\n(iii) an independent school (as defined by section 463 of the Education Act 1996( **c** ))\nregistered under section 95 of the Education and Skills Act 2008( **d** ),\n(iv) a non-maintained special school (as defined in section 337A of the Education Act\n1996( **e** ), or\n(v) a pupil referral unit within the meaning of section 19(2B) of the Education Act\n1996( **f** );\n(c) “college” means—\n(i) an institution within the further education sector within the meaning of section 91 of\nthe Further and Higher Education Act 1992( **g** ), or\n(ii) a 16 to 19 Academy within the meaning of section 1B of the Academies Act\n2010( **h** ).\n\n( **a** ) 2010 c. 32; section 1C was inserted by section 53(7) of the Education Act 2011 (c. 21).\n( **b** ) 1998 c. 31; section 20 was amended by paragraph 95 of Schedule 21 to the Education Act 2002 (c. 32), paragraph 13 of", + "page_start": 79, + "page_end": 79, + "source_file": "uksi_20210582_en.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# BASIC ENGLISH language skills\n\n## IMPROVE YOUR MARKS!\n\n###### CHAPTER 10:\n\naddress below that, on the left.\n- If you are sending your cover letter via e-mail: write the letter in the\nbody of the e-mail, and start with the salutation (instead of your ad­\ndress).\n- If you are responding to a job advertisement via e-mail, use the sub­\nject line provided in the advertisement. If no subject line was provid­\ned, use a relevant subject line that refers to the position being ad­\nvertised. E.g. “Application for Project Management Assistant position\n(ref. no. 4231)”.\n\nSalutation\nIf you know the name of the person to whom you are writing:\n- Start your letter by addressing the recipient by name: e.g.\n“Dear Mr John Smith/Dear Ms Joanne Smith”\nIf you don’t know the name of the person to whom you are writing\n(and only if you have no way of establishing the recipient’s name):\n- Start your letter by addressing the recipient in one of the following\nways: “Dear Hiring Manager” or “Dear Sir/Madam”\nIn an e-mail, you can also leave out the salutation entirely (and replace\nit with a subject line) if you don’t know the name of the intended recip­\nient, and you feel uncomfortable using an impersonal salutation such as\n“Dear Sir/Madam”.\n\nFirst Paragraph\nIntroduce yourself, and explain why you are writing the letter.\nIf you are responding to a job advertisement, state which advertisement\nyou are responding to, and indicate where you found it.\nFor example:\n“I would like to apply for the position of Graphic Designer, as advertised\nin the Career Times on 1 March 2015.”\nIf possible, mention a mutual contact or acquaintance.\nFor example:\n“Samantha Stevens mentioned that you are looking for an experienced\nGraphic Designer with a keen interest in the fashion industry.”\n\nSecond Paragraph\nMention your qualifications, skills and experience, and relate them to the\nneeds of the company. Give relevant examples of how you have used\nyour skills in the past to perform similar tasks and responsibilities to\nthose set out in the job description.\nThird Paragraph\nExplain why you want to work for this organisation in particular.

This is especially\nimportant if you are a distance learning student (www.oxbridgeacademy.\nco.za/distance-learning/), as you won’t have a teacher or lecturer to\npoint out key concepts, or to give you tips about the types of questions\nyou can expect in the exams.\nSUMMARISING YOUR WORK GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO:\n- Organise your study material into a structure that makes sense to you.\n- Arrange your study material into a format that suits your learning style.\n- Create memory aids for yourself.\n- Identify key ideas and concepts.\n- Focus on what’s important.\n- Prepare for exams more easily.\nSO WHAT EXACTLY IS A SUMMARY?\nA summary is more than just a condensed or shortened version of your\nwork. A summary requires you to analyse your study material, to identify\nthe key concepts, and to explain it in your own words.\nTo make a good summary, you need to:\n- Keep it brief.\n- Make sure to use main headings and keywords.\n- Focus on the main ideas.\n- Classify and organise the information in a logical manner.\n- Use your own words where possible.\n- Include examples.\n- Remember that your summaries are there to help you.\nYOU CAN MAKE YOUR SUMMARIES IN DIFFERENT FOR­ MATS. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES:\nMind Maps (Spider Diagrams)\nA mind map is a visual expression of thoughts, ideas and concepts. It\nusually takes the form of a diagram, with the main concept in the centre,\nand the related concepts branching out from there. Here is an example:\n\nPayroll Contracts\n**HR**\n**Manager’s Duties**\nStaff\nTraining\nDiscipline\nThe benefits of using mind maps include the following:\n- They help you to see how the different bits of information fit into the\nbigger picture.\n- They help you to understand the relationships between concepts.\n- They help you to memorise information more quickly (by engaging both hemispheres of your brain).\nTips for making mind maps:", + "page_start": 26, + "page_end": 29, + "source_file": "basic-english-language-skills.PDF" + }, + { + "text": "# BASIC ENGLISH language skills\n\n## **6**\n\n###### CHAPTER 7:\n\n- Use different colours to distinguish between concepts.\n- Use key words and phrases, instead of writing in full sentences.\n- Include images/drawings that are relevant to the topic(s).\n- Use arrows to show how different concepts are related.\n\nBULLET POINTS OR LISTS\nIf you find that you memorise things more easily when they are in list\nform, then it might be a good idea to use bullet points when sum­\nmarising your work.\nUsing bullet points can help you to understand (and memorise) your\nwork more easily, as it requires you to:\n- Identify the key points that you want to include in your lists.\n- Come up with a logical structure for your lists.\n- Categorise information into relevant lists.\nHere is an example:\n- Pay salaries on time\n- Make necessary\ndeductions\n- Calculate overtime\n- Draft employment\ncontracts\n- Ensure safekeeping of\nemployment contracts\n- Establish staff training\nneeds\n- Establish skills gaps\n- Take responsibility for\nsuccession planning\n####### **HR Manager’s Duties**\nContracts Training Payroll\nFLASH CARDS\nFlash cards are pieces of paper (or card) with questions on the one\nside, and corresponding answers on the other side.\nHere is an example:\n**What does OHS stand for?**\n**Occupational**\n**Health**\n**and Safety**\nTips for using flash cards:\n- Include images/visual cues on your flash cards, as this will help you to\nmemorise the contents.\n- When studying, shuffle your deck of flash cards regularly (to make\nsure that you aren’t simply memorising the order of the answers).\n- Add new flash cards to your deck as you cover new topics or learn\nnew concepts.\nfront back\nSUMMARIES\nGeneral Tips for Making Summaries\n- Underline or highlight key points as you work through your study material, and make notes.\n- When you come across a word or concept you don’t understand,\nlook it up in a dictionary, or do some research on the concept, and\nadd your own definition to your summary.\n###### CHAPTER 7:\nHOW TO ASK FOR HELP FROM YOUR TUTOR\nAs a student, you are going to experience times when you need help\nwith your studies.

As far as possible, write in\nthe active voice.\n- Structure your message clearly, and include only the necessary information.\nTake care not to confuse the message by including too many topics\nin one e-mail. Respect your colleagues’ time, and try to keep your\nmessages as short as possible.\n- Don’t type your e-mail in ALL CAPS.\nThis is regarded as the online equivalent of shouting.\n- Always proofread your e-mail before you hit ‘send’.\nGrammar and spelling errors come across as unprofessional.\n- If you include a link in your e-mail, make sure that you provide some\ncontext.\nYour recipients are unlikely to click on a link if they don’t have any\nidea as to what they are going to see when they open it.\n- Only mark an e-mail as ‘urgent’ when it really does require immedi­ ate attention.\nWhat’s urgent to you may not always be urgent to your recipients.\n- Don’t use the CC’ or Reply All’ functions unnecessarily.\nOnly send your e-mails to the people who really need to see them.\n- Only include necessary attachments with your e-mails.\nRemember that many e-mail clients have a size limit on attach­\nments, and that attachments over a certain size may cause your\ne-mail to be blocked.\n- Keep it professional.\nDon’t pass on spam e-mails, chain letters, or inappropriate jokes,\nand don’t spread gossip via e-mail.\nASSIGNMENT\n1.

Remember that presentation is important.\nNeatness, spelling, and the structure of your assignment will all count\ntoward the mark that you receive for your assignment.\n4. Use your course material and other external sources to find answers\nto the assignment questions.\nBut make sure to use your own words - don’t just copy. You need to show\nthe person marking your assignment that you have developed a sound\nunderstanding of the subject.\n5. When you use external resources, remember to reference them\nproperly, and to include them in a bibliography.\nIf you don’t, you may be guilty of plagiarism (www.oxforddictionaries.\ncom/definition/english/plagiarism), which is a serious offence.\n6. Always hand in your own work, and make sure that you use your\nown words when you formulate your answers.\n7. When it comes to essay questions:\n- Plan/outline your answer before doing the final draft.\n- Remember that essays have titles, introductions, bodies, and\nconclusions.\n- Use headings and paragraphs to structure your answer.\n- Each paragraph should contain one main thought or idea, and there\nshould be a logical link between each paragraph and the next.\n- Make sure that you focus on answering the question - only include\nrelevant information, and remember to present logical arguments in\nsupport of your answer.\n8. Proofread your assignment before handing it in. Tip: read your\nanswers out loud to make sure that they sound logical.\n9. Always keep a copy or electronic backup of your assignment.\nThis way, you won’t have to start over if your computer crashes, or\nredo the whole assignment if the original goes missing.\n10. When you get your assignment back from your tutor:\nRead through the feedback, and learn from your mistakes. This will\nhelp you to prepare for your exams (if you have to write them), as well\nas to help you achieve better marks in future assignments.\n\nTYPES OF QUESTIONS THAT YOU WILL FREQUENTLY COME ACROSS IN ASSIGNMENTS\nIn your assignments, you will often be asked to write short paragraphs or\nlonger essays in which you have to “explain” a particular concept, “iden­", + "page_start": 37, + "page_end": 38, + "source_file": "basic-english-language-skills.PDF" + }, + { + "text": "# BASIC ENGLISH language skills\n\n## BASIC ENGLISH language skills\n\n##### TABLE OF CONTENTS:\n\n###### CHAPTER 2:\n\nlanguage to achieve a particular purpose. And for this reason, having good\nlanguage skills is essential in any working environment.\nIn a career context, good language skills can also:\n- Affect your credibility.

He borrowed the book from his colleague.\nTo “lend” something is to give it to someone with the expectation\nthat they will give it back.\nE.g. She is lending the car to him so that he can drive to work today.\n**Compliment/Complement**\nYou “compliment” someone when you make a favourable\ncomment about them.\nE.g. He complimented her by telling her that she was a good writer.\nYou “complement” something (or someone) when you add\nsomething else to it that suits or fits it well.\nE.g. That scarf complements her dress.\n**Continual/Continuous**\nIf something happens frequently, it is “continual”.\nE.g. The trains were continually late.\nIf something happens all the time without interruption, it is\n“continuous”.\nE.g. It rained continuously for three days.\n\n**Its/It’s**\n“Its” indicates possession.\nE.g. The company improved its performance by hiring new staff members.\n“It’s” is a contraction of “it is”.\nE.g. It’s uncertain whether the company will meet the financial targets\nthis year.\n**Principal/Principle**\nA “principal” is the head of a school or college.\nE.g. The principal declared that the school term would be extended\nby a week.\nA “principal” thing is a main or most important thing.\nE.g. His commitment to the task was the principal reason for his success.\nA “principle” is a fundamental rule or belief.\nE.g. It goes against my principles to eat meat.\n**Stationary/Stationery**\n“Stationary” means not moving.\nE.g. The stationary truck held up the traffic.\n“Stationery” refers to writing materials.\nE.g. She needed new stationery for school.\n**There/Their/They’re**\n“There” is a preposition that refers to a place.\nE.g. He will be there in ten minutes.\n“Their” is a possessive pronoun. It indicates that something\nbelongs to them.\nE.g. Due to unforeseen circumstances, their meeting was cancelled.\n“They’re” is a contraction of “they are”.\nE.g. They’re not going to be pleased when they find out that he lost\nthe report.\n**To/Too/Two**\n“To” is a preposition, and indicates the relationship between one\nthing and another.\nE.g. I gave the letter to him.\n“Too” means “also”, “additional” or “more than what is necessary\nor desirable”.\nE.g. He is going on holiday too. As a result, there are too few people\navailable to work over December.\n“Two” is a number.\nE.g.

After a period of doubts\nand resistance, today they are regarded as risks of the same severity as the classical physical safety\nand health risks. 4 (Chapter 1 covers the psychosocial risk aspect; for the prevalence of mental diseases\nand the burden of mental diseases see Chapter 2.2. 5 )\nLooking at the steady increase of certain psychosocial risk indicators at workplace level, either the **risks**\n**have increased** and/or the **number of people working in occupations** with higher psychosocial risks\nhas increased. 6,7 This is valid, for example, for the indicator time pressure, for example, in delivery\nservices, transport, and often also clerical work; the workforce has grown in sectors where emotional\ndemands from dealing with difficult clients, customers, pupils or patients are common; there are also\nmore workers employed (or self-employed) in interactional occupations, for example, in call centres, or\nin occupations with a high level of emotional tensions, for example, education, health and care.\n\n**Figure 2: Risk factors that can adversely affect mental wellbeing - EWCS 8 and ESENER 9**\n\nA major difference between the ESENER and the EWCS survey is the respondent. In ESENER those\npersons who are most familiar with OSH or responsible for OSH in an enterprise were asked whether a\ncertain risk factor exists in the enterprise; in the EWCS survey workers themselves were asked whether\nthey are exposed to a risk factor.\n\nIn 2007, 2013 and 2020, **Eurostat** asked employed persons in its ad hoc surveys to the Labour Force\nSurvey (LFS) whether they had **‘... exposure to risk factors that can adversely affect mental well-**\n**being’** . 10 In 2007 and 2013, the questions covered four items (time pressure and overload of work,\nviolence or threat of violence, harassment and bullying, other factors).

Eurofound mentions as the most relevant components: *income, working time arrangements,*\n*possibilities for skills development and career advancement, and the degree of individual control over*\n*work.*\nILO defines wellbeing at work under the term **‘Workplace Wellbeing’** : *‘Workplace Wellbeing relates to*\n*all aspects of working life, from the quality and safety of the physical environment, to how workers feel*\n*about their work, their working environment, the climate at work and work organization. The aim of*\n*measures for workplace well-being is to complement OSH measures to make sure workers are safe,*\n*healthy, satisfied and engaged at work.’*\nA common methodology to collect data on **health status and wellbeing** is **self-reporting and self-**\n**assessment** of risks at work, health risks and health problems, absence, job satisfaction and working\nlife perspectives from a health point of view. This allows insight into the subjective assessment of health\nrisks at work and wellbeing.\n**Indicators on wellbeing** and satisfaction at work show similar patterns to health and work accidents.\nSectors with high physical demands and high customer and client orientation and occupations with a\nlower skill level report lower wellbeing and satisfaction levels; they report a good health status but fewer\nexpectations to be able to work in this occupation until the age of 60 years. Concerning the levels of\n**self-reported ‘Health at risk’** , the LFS Ad hoc module on ‘Accidents at work and other work-related\nhealth problems’ suggests that the situation has improved. According to the LFS, in 2007 14.6% of\nemployed persons reported a work-related health problem; this figure decreased in 2013 to 8.8% and\nwent slightly up again — during the pandemic — to 10.3% in 2020 (EU27 level).", + "page_start": 12, + "page_end": 12, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **3 Status of working conditions**\n\n### **3.1 Psychosocial risks at work**\n\n*3.

The increase of workforce in communicative and client-oriented occupations — social work,\neducation, tourism and entertainment, health and care — during the last 30 years adds to the\nconventional work with clients in service, sales and health occupations.\nThe next table shows the top seven EU Member states with the highest share of these risks for all\nsectors and for the sector ‘Human health and social work activities’ (HHSW).\n\n**Table 1: Psychosocial risks, Top countries ‘All Sectors’ and ‘Human health and social work’ - ESENER**\n**2019**\n\n**Difficult customers, patients and pupils (‘clients’)** seem to be the most widespread psychosocial\nburden, with workers in Portugal, Malta and Cyprus are most exposed.

Major\nwork-related exposures have grown in the past 15 to 25 years that is, time pressure, difficult clients,\nlonger working hours and poor communication. There is also some evidence that countries with over-\naverage employment in sectors like health and care or other human and client-oriented services\n(education, social work, tourism, entertainment) suffer from longer working hours and more mental\nburden. The northern countries are at the top of the countries with highest mental burden. The southern\ncountries have a high share of specific psychosocial risks related to work in tourism and entertainment,\ncharacterised by atypical working times and issues with difficult clients.\n\nEU-OSHA found in its ESENER 2014 data analysis: 112\n*‘Concerning the sectors, national context appears to be related to differences in psychosocial risk*\n*management in all types of organisations, although in some sectors this relationship is weak. In the*\n*agriculture, forestry and fishing sector and the sectors of mining, construction, electricity, trade,*\n*transport, and accommodation and food, the low level of psychosocial risk management is observed*\n*also in a favourable national context. An explanation for this finding might relate to the large proportion*\n*of small organisations in these sectors, which, as concluded earlier, have poorer psychosocial risk*\n*management independently of the national context.’*\n\nThere is a stable **block of ‘conventional’ physical health risks** — ergonomics and risk from the work\nenvironment — and ergonomic risks that did not significantly change since 1990. It varies between 15%\nfor exposure to smoke, fumes and dusts to over 60% for repetitive hand/arm movements. **Ergonomic**\n**risks** develop in two directions: 1) traditional risks stagnate in total, that is, lifting and moving heavy\nloads, painful or tiring positions, and shifts between sectors (from industry to transport, health and care);\n2) risks of inactivity and highly repetitive hand/arm movements increase. Beside sectoral and\noccupational differences, it can be noted that in general higher percentages of exposed employed\npersons (workers and self-employed) are working in eastern and southern Member States.\nSince 2006 the average **working time** per week went down by 15 minutes for employees, and a slight", + "page_start": 58, + "page_end": 58, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **1 Executive summary**\n\n### **Working conditions - Risk factors at work**\n\nexhaustive work.\nA certain **ergonomic risk** of many administrative and supervisory jobs is **physical inactivity** (61%), in\npractice meaning sitting most of the working time in front of digital equipment, sitting to make phone\ncalls or sitting in meetings. Not only administrative tasks but also many occupations in transport and\nindustry require prolonged sitting (transport, cashiers, parts assembly, etc.).\nIn the 10-year period before 2005, EU-wide surveys found a significant increase in work intensity. Major\ndifferences in work intensity and working time patterns can be seen between occupations, forms of work,\nsectors and enterprise size, for example. The length of the daily or weekly working time and its allocation\nwith the 24 hours of a day or at night are important factors for health and wellbeing. The Eurostat data\nshow a slight decrease **in the average weekly working time for full-time employees** (15-64 years)\nfrom 40.2 to 39.9 hours between 2006 and 2019.\nEurostat reports for all types of **‘employment at atypical working time’** a minor decrease between\n2011 and 2019, from 38.8% to 37.2% (EU27 average), for all employed workforce and all types of such\natypical time. The data also document slight increases or decreases of the different types of work during\natypical times > on Saturdays the percentage decreased from 28% to 25%, working in the evenings\ndecreased from 19% to 15%, working on Sundays remained stable at around 13.5%, work at night fell\nfrom 7% to 5%, and shift work increased slightly from 17% to 18%. Some **groups of self-employed**\nshow a higher rate of atypical working times: for **high-managerial self-employed** , this rate is 43.2%\nand for **low-managerial self-employed** 64.5%.\n**Significant differences also exist between eastern/southern and central/northern/western**\n**European countries.** More physical and ergonomic risks (except inactivity) are reported from eastern\nand southern EU Member States but more emotional demands (e.g. difficult clients, poor communication\nand long working hours) in northern and central European countries. One of the major reasons might\nbe the reallocation of industrial production to eastern countries after the EU extension to 24 and later to\n27 Member States.", + "page_start": 10, + "page_end": 10, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **4 Trends in outcomes - safety, health and wellbeing**\n\n### **4.3 Wellbeing and health status**\n\n#### * **4.3.5 Summary of survey results on wellbeing and health status** *\n\nAn overview table on the responses to five questions in three different surveys reveals partly consistent\nand partly contradictory results per country.

This is in line with ESENER data that corroborate the importance of\nthe **size of the enterprise** for time pressure and long working hours.\nLiterature — from very diverse disciplines — on work intensification points to **reasons for**\n**intensification on developments as: 40**\n- Economic developments, particularly the dominance of neoliberalist policies and enhanced\ncompetition between workers, companies and states; reduction of state influence and\nprivatisation. 41\n- Pressure due to substantial organisational changes, for example, introduction of short-term\neconomic objectives in enterprise policies, 42 expansion into new markets or new countries,\nacquiring other enterprises or merging, being acquired, restructuring of management or of basic\nstaff working conditions (contracts, working time, flexibility). 43\n- Decrease of trade union influence or worker participation regarding labour relations.\n- Liberalisation of labour legislation, creation of ‘new forms of work’ and new contract types,\nbeyond the permanent full-time employment. 44\n- New forms of management, application of management concepts like just-in-time production or\nlean management, higher flexibility of production and higher customer orientation, 45\nsegmentation of enterprises into profit centres, quality management obligations,\nexternalisation/subcontracting of service areas like cleaning, canteen, security and so on.\n- Increased communication and interdependency, time coordination and synchronisation\nrequirements between units, enterprises and in supply chains.\n- Less direct supervision and more objective and results-based management.\n- Last but not least the massive introduction of ICT and other work-intensifying technologies.\n\n**The main reasons for stagnation after 2005 might be** that many of the above-mentioned concepts or\npolicies were developed or had their peak during the 1980s, 1990s or the first decade of the 21st century.\nSome of them lost their dynamic (e.g. privatisation), or have become a kind of standard (management\nby objectives), or were widely implemented in the first decade of the 21 st century (ICT facilities at most\nworkplaces); also, some negative impacts on working time were mitigated by state interventions (i.e. the", + "page_start": 35, + "page_end": 36, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **3 Status of working conditions**\n\n### **3.1 Psychosocial risks at work**\n\n#### * **3.1.2 Work intensity** *\n\n**Sectoral differences** are also strong but not that large as between enterprise sizes they vary for\n**‘Pressure due to time constraints’** between 32% in agriculture to 54% in education and HHSW\nactivities.\nLooking at countries, as indicated the figure below, the three Nordic EU Member States are at the top\nof the EU27 countries, all three with rates of more than 70%. The lowest levels of less than 30% are\nreported for Italy, Lithuania and Slovakia. 36\n\n**Figure 13: ‘Pressure due to time constraints’, Yes responses - ESENER 2019**\n\nIt has to be noted that ESENER responses refer to the situation in an enterprise, and the LFS and EWCS refer to\nthe individual situation of a worker/employed person.\n\n**Also in 2019, the Eurostat LFS Ad hoc** module on working arrangement and working time shows quite\nsimilar data. 37 Approximately 35% of all employed persons in the EU27 are working ‘Often’ or ‘Always’\nunder time pressure.\n\n**Figure 14: Employed persons and percentage of working time under pressure - Eurostat LFS Ad hoc 2019**\n\nThe country-specific data from the LFS differ in many aspects from the ESENER data. Greece, Malta\nand Czechia are at the top, the Nordic countries in a middle position and at the lower end we find a\nmixture of countries from all geographical regions. This difference is probably due to the applied\nmethodology, the OSH practitioners who were asked in ESENER seem to have a different view on time\npressure than the workers themselves who are respondents in the LFS.\n\n**Figure 15: Percentage of employed persons with working time under pressure (per country, sum of**\n**responses ‘Always’ and ‘Often’) - LFS Ad hoc 2019**\n\nOne hypothesis to explain the increased time pressure is to draw a direct **connection between short**\n**weekly working time and more intense work** ; or in other words, a short weekly working time leads to\nmore **intensification of work or more long hours or atypical working times** (‘trading flexibility for\neffort’). 38\nThe analysis of EU survey data shows **a mixed picture** : Firstly, ESENER data corroborate this\nhypothesis, the three countries with highest percentage of work under time constraints — that is, Finland,\nSweden and Denmark — all have working hours under the EU average.

The EWCS found a significant increase of work intensity between 1991 and 2005.\nIn 1991, **‘Working at a very high speed’** was for the majority of respondents not an issue. Fifty-two per\ncent of the workers responded to this statement ‘Never’ or ‘Almost never’; in 1991, 24% worked at high\nspeed and responded ‘Around 3⁄4 of the time’, ‘Almost all of the time’ and ‘All of the time’; until 2005 this\nresponse rate went up by 11% to 35%.\n**Working to tight deadlines** was not an issue for 34% in 1990, and in 2005 only for 19%, a reduction\nof 15%. The percentage of the sum of responses ‘Around 3⁄4 of the time’, ‘Almost all of the time’ or ‘All\nof the time’ to this question on tight deadlines increased between 1991 and 2005 from 29% to 37%.\nRegarding these two indicators, **work intensity has evidently increased** between 1991 and 2005. 29\n\n**Figure 10: Development of work intensity indicators between 1991 and 2015 - Eurofound**\n\nAfter that first period between 1991 and 2005, **this development seems to stagnate between 2005**\n**and 2015** . 30 The responses ‘Almost all of the time’ or ‘All of the time’ vary only slightly, between 33%\nand 37% depending on year and question (‘Working at high speed’ or ‘Working to tight deadlines’).\nDifferences can be seen regarding sector, company size and occupation. **Regarding work intensity** ,\nESENER enterprise data on time pressure for the EU27 indicate a slight increase of 2.3% between 2014\nand 2019 from 43% to 45%. 31 Interestingly, according to ESENER, time pressure drastically **increases**\n**with the size of the enterprise** . In enterprises with 5 - 9 employees, 39% report time pressure, and in\nenterprises with above 250 employees 69%. 32 The same applies for long working hours, where\nenterprises with 5 - 9 employees report 19% ‘long working hours’, and in enterprises with above 250\nemployees this percentage increases to about 39% (EU27, 2019). 33\n\n**Figure 11: Establishment size and ‘Pressure due to time constraints’ - ESENER 2014 and 2019 34**\n\n**Figure 12: Establishment size and ‘Long or irregular working hours’ - ESENER 2014 and 2019 35**", + "page_start": 32, + "page_end": 33, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **1 Executive summary**\n\n### **Working conditions - Risk factors at work**\n\nexhaustive work.\nA certain **ergonomic risk** of many administrative and supervisory jobs is **physical inactivity** (61%), in\npractice meaning sitting most of the working time in front of digital equipment, sitting to make phone\ncalls or sitting in meetings. Not only administrative tasks but also many occupations in transport and\nindustry require prolonged sitting (transport, cashiers, parts assembly, etc.).\nIn the 10-year period before 2005, EU-wide surveys found a significant increase in work intensity. Major\ndifferences in work intensity and working time patterns can be seen between occupations, forms of work,\nsectors and enterprise size, for example. The length of the daily or weekly working time and its allocation\nwith the 24 hours of a day or at night are important factors for health and wellbeing. The Eurostat data\nshow a slight decrease **in the average weekly working time for full-time employees** (15-64 years)\nfrom 40.2 to 39.9 hours between 2006 and 2019.\nEurostat reports for all types of **‘employment at atypical working time’** a minor decrease between\n2011 and 2019, from 38.8% to 37.2% (EU27 average), for all employed workforce and all types of such\natypical time. The data also document slight increases or decreases of the different types of work during\natypical times > on Saturdays the percentage decreased from 28% to 25%, working in the evenings\ndecreased from 19% to 15%, working on Sundays remained stable at around 13.5%, work at night fell\nfrom 7% to 5%, and shift work increased slightly from 17% to 18%.

Work intensification has\nemerged until 2005 but seems to stagnate since then. There are strong indications but no quantitative\nevidence on the extent to which working long hours, work at atypical times and probably also work with\nhigher risks were **transferred to workers in non-standard types of employment** .\n**Non-standard forms of employment** are — according to EU-OSHA — characterised by a non-\npermanent employment contract and the work not being performed at the premises of the employer.\nMost studies that dealt with the **connection between the employment forms and health outcomes**\nand in particular safety and health aspects found significant correlations. **New forms of employment**\nhave a wider spectrum of contract types — e.g. voucher, platform — and of places of work — for many\ntypes of work practically everywhere.\n**Non-standard locations of work** — mobile work, homes as workplaces, domestic and care work —\nhave as common characteristics special conditions concerning implementation of OSH standards and\nlegislation, be it for technical or legal reasons. Quantitative evidence on working conditions in these\ntypes of work is less available than for stationary workplaces; moreover, the OSH responsibility can be\nblurred. **Mobile ICT work** is a field of new contractual arrangements that besides other aspects in\ngeneral reduce, limit or eliminate the employer’s duties — and in parallel also the workers’ obligations\nfor occupational safety and health. These workers are often exposed to unhealthier working conditions\nand lower implementation of OSH standards and legislation. 113\nThe legal obligation of an **equal level of safety and health for all groups** is difficult to convert into\npractice. Well-known but still very prevalent are the disadvantages of women, migrants, low-qualified\nworkers, and ageing and young workers. The data show an unequal divide of specific risks, be it on\npurpose or due to missing awareness of the difference, or of lack of knowledge of the specific needs.\n\n© peopleimages.com/Adobe Stock", + "page_start": 58, + "page_end": 59, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **5 Major context developments and their influence on**\n\n### **5.3 Workforce structure**\n\nThe **workforce** was often set identical with employed workers under a permanent contract, on average\nmostly male, mainly national, and most of the skills were achieved during apprenticeships or studying.\nDuring the past three decades a rapid economic, technological and demographic development took\nplace: the variety of contracts has grown, and the share of women and of an international workforce\nincreased; moreover, the average age of the workforce is rapidly increasing; and technological\ndevelopments require repeated and often permanent acquisition of new skills. All these developments\nhave shattered traditional ideas and conceptions of working life. 297 This also has an impact on OSH.\n\n**Figure 38: Workforce structure, demography - Eurostat**\n\n**In 2005, approximately 80 million women and 101 million men** were employed in the EU. This was\na rate of female workforce of 44.1%; in 2019, this rate went up to 46.1%, with 90 million women and 106\nmillion men making up a total of 196 million workers. The employment rate of women between 15 and\n64 years stood in 2019 at 67.9% and the employment rate of men at 78.9%. 298\nDuring the past 15 years the number of women in the Eurostat category ‘Employed persons’ (Employed\npersons = employees and employers including self-employed) grew by 12.9%. The number of female\nemployees grew by 16.3% and the number of male employees by 7.8%.\n\n**Table 30: Development of male and female workforce in the EU27 between 2005 and 2019 299**\n\nAlthough female employment has grown faster than the men’s rate, the employment rate for men is still\n11% higher. Due to the much higher rate of part-time work — women 30%, men 9% 300 — the gender\ngap concerning participation in the labour market is higher when transforming the working time into ‘full-\ntime equivalents’ (FTE).

Typical characteristics of non-standard work are part-time work, temporary (or\nfixed-term) work, seasonal work, casual work, home-based work, telework, self-employment or family\nwork. Currently, high public awareness is directed to those types of non-standard work that are\nconnected either to **new forms of contracts** (voucher, platform, zero-hours, portfolio, etc.) or increasing\n**types of work not bound to the premises of the employer** (mobile, at home, at client’s place), mostly\nmade possible by the increased use of modern information and communication technologies (ICT).\nThese forms of work often have as a — additional — major characteristic a **less clear employer-**\n**worker relationship** .\nHowever, in 2019 the conventional employment contract still accounted for around 86% of the workforce\n(EU27), 9% are ‘own-account’ workers, that is, self-employed without employees. The remaining 4%\nwere self-employed with employees (employers) and less than 1% were contributing family workers.

This methodology describes how accidents at work have to be reported and defines\nseveral terms and conditions.\n**What is an accident?**\n‘Accident at work’ is defined in the ESAW methodology 135 as a **‘discrete occurrence in the course of work which**\n**leads to physical or mental harm.’**\n**When is a non-fatal work accident counted?**\nESAW counts a work accident *‘if the resumption of work occurred 5 days after the work accident’* ; Chapter 4.2 of\nthe ESAW Methodology 2012 explains: *‘Accidents at work with more than three calendar days’ absence from work:*\n*Only full calendar days of absence from work have to be considered, excluding the day of the accident.*\n*Consequently, more than three calendar days’ means “at least four calendar days”, which implies that only if the*\n*victim resumes work on the fifth (or subsequent) working day after the date on which the accident occurred should*\n*the incident be included.’*\n**Exempted are:** Commuting accidents, self-inflicted injuries (e.g. suicides), and strictly natural causes that injure\npeople at their workplaces (e.g. earthquakes, floods).\n\nThe total number of reported non-fatal accidents for the EU27 was 3,140,950 in 2019. 136 As mentioned\nin the introduction to this chapter, the incident rates of non-fatal accidents fell in about 25 years from\n4,089 (year 1998 137 ) to 1,713 (2019), that is, **it decreased about 58%** . 138 The **greatest part of this**\n**decrease** took place between **1998 and 2010** , 139 the incidence rate halved to 2,021, **a drop of 51%** .\nStill, between 2010 and 2019 the incidence rate for the EU27 fell from 2,021 incidents per 100,000\nworkers to 1,713, a drop of a further 15% (taking 2010 as the reference year). 140\n\n**Figure 21: Development of the total number of non-fatal accidents at work and incidence rates (accidents**\n**per 100,000 workers), 1998 and 2019 - Eurostat**", + "page_start": 63, + "page_end": 64, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **4 Trends in outcomes - safety, health and wellbeing**\n\n### **4.1 Trends in safety outcomes - work accidents**\n\n#### * **4.1.2 Serious non-fatal and fatal work accidents** *\n\nEurostat defines a fatal work accident as follows *: ‘A “fatal accident” means an accident which leads to*\n*the death of a victim within one year of the accident’.* 160\nFatal commuting accidents are excluded, or when counted at national level, excluded from the ESAW\ndata.\nIn the last decade, most EU Member States registered a **significant decrease of fatal work**\n**accidents** . 161 From 2010 to 2019, for the EU27, the **incidence rate of fatal accidents decreased over**\n**all sectors from 2.31 to 1.74** , or a minus of 25%. In the period between 2010 and 2019 the sectoral\nfigures of five major sectors developed as follows:\n\n**Table 19: Incidence rates of fatal accidents per sector in 2010 and 2019 (EU27) 162**\n\nAlso, large differences between countries can be noted. The following figure — taken from the OSH\nBarometer — calculates the number of fatal accidents in periods and compares the period 2010-2014\nwith 2015-2020. The reason is that — particularly in smaller Member States — a year with one serious\nand large work accident and several fatalities, or another year without any fatal accident, would distort\nthe annual picture and create significant changes from year to year. Romania, Luxembourg and Bulgaria\nhave the highest incident rates, and the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany the lowest. In 25 countries\nthe rate fell or stagnated in these two periods, with exceptions being Luxembourg and Greece.\n\n**Figure 23: Comparison of the average incidence rate of fatal accidents in two periods: 2010-2014 and 2015-**\n**2020 163**\n\nESAW provides more detailed data about the **severity of non-fatal accidents** . 164 According to\nEurostat’s evaluation of ‘Causes and circumstances’ of work accidents ( **data from 2005, EU-15 and**\n**Norway** ), in 2005, 3.9% of the non-fatal work accidents or 157,494 non-fatal accidents led to **permanent**\n**incapacity** (full or partly), and 138,568 (3,4% of all accidents) to absences from three to six months. 165\n**In 2019** , the **outcome** ‘Permanent incapacity or 183 days *(of time-off)* or over’ **made up 4.4% of all**\n**non-fatal work accidents or a little more than 100,000 cases** . **As serious outcomes** we regard at\nleast the cases in the ESAW category: non-fatal accidents involving these consequences are more than\n**34 times more frequent than fatalities** .

Eurostat\nprovides the coefficient between fatal and non-fatal accidents.\n**Methodology:**\nEU-OSHA used the average coefficient between non-fatal and fatal work accidents of the four\ncountries Finland, France, Germany and Spain. The coefficient of registered non-fatal accident per\nfatal accident varies between 970 (France) and 2,085 (Germany), in 2019. The coefficient average for\nthese four countries is 1,462. If we multiply all ESAW-registered fatal accidents in the EU27 (3,408\ncases) with this coefficient, we end up at 4.98 million non-fatal accidents with more than three days of\nabsence.\nFor the EU27 in 2019, the **average ratio is 922 non-fatal accidents for every fatal accident** . 147 For\nan estimate, the coefficients **of benchmark countries** with a known high reporting rate are used to\nestimate underreporting throughout the EU27. 148\nThe following table shows the data and the calculation steps.\n\n**Table 16: Non-fatal accidents estimated via coefficient of fatal accidents, 4 benchmark countries 149**\n\nThe **application of the average coefficient of four benchmark countries to all** the EU27 leads to an\nestimated number of non-fatal accidents with more than three days absence of approximately 4.98\nmillion. This is 1.84 million more work accidents than reported in ESAW; the **reporting rate of ESAW**\n**for non-fatal work accidents with four or more days of absence would be at around 63%** . Country-\nspecific reports about underreporting determine similar figures and support these findings. 150\nThere seems to be a **difference in the reporting level** between countries with a universal health system\nwhere the reasons for an accident play a minor role and do not impact compensation and treatment. In\nmore fragmented health systems with distinguished work accident insurances, the ‘sphere’ (work or\nprivate life) — where the accident took place — is more relevant and influences the granted treatment", + "page_start": 65, + "page_end": 66, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **4 Trends in outcomes - safety, health and wellbeing**\n\n### **4.1 Trends in safety outcomes - work accidents**\n\n#### * **4.1.1 Non-fatal work accidents** *\n\nregistered because they resulted in fewer than four days of absence: *‘Around 37% of accidents at work*\n*in the EU result in fewer than 4 days’ loss of work.’* 154 . In the estimate above the figures are in a similar\nrange. The **LFS surveys also reveal strong differences between occupational groups** . The ISCO\ngroups 1-3 have less than half the accidents compared to groups 6-7 and 8-9. 155\n\n**Table 18: People reporting an accident by group of occupations (ISCO) - LFS Ad hoc 2020 156**\n\nIn the Member States there exist very **diverging perceptions of which level of severity of a work**\n**accident justifies a notification** — or in the case of the LFS survey a positive response. In the LFS\nAd hoc module of 2020, the figures vary significantly between Member States. Some countries\npractically report only accidents with ‘Off work’ periods, for example, Italy, Lithuania, Malta and Poland.\nIn other countries the shares of work accidents reported that result in ‘Off work’ are under 40%, for\nexample, for Sweden and Finland, Greece, Denmark and France. 157 That means that in these countries\nthe respondents reported more than 50% such work accidents that did not cause an absence.

Between 1998 and 2019 (EU level), **the incidence** rate of **non-fatal work**\n**accidents** fell about 58%, from 4,089 to 1,713. Most of this decrease took place in the first half of this\ndecade. Between 1998 and 2008, the incidence rate fell by 54%, and between 2009 and 2019 by 9%.\nBetween 1998 and 2019, the **incidence rate for fatal accidents** dropped about 57% from 5.03 to 2.17,\nalmost the same decrease as for non-fatal accidents.\nFour major sectors, **agriculture, manufacturing, construction and transport** , employed just under\n40% of the workforce (in 1998 as well as in 2019). However, in 1998, more than 60% of the accidents\nat work took place in these sectors, thus the reduction of accidents in these sectors was crucial for the\noverall reduction. In addition, economic developments — sector decline and shift of workforce between\nsectors — reduced the number of workers exposed to common safety risks in these sectors.\nThere have always been concerns in national or sectoral case studies about **underreporting of work**\n**accidents** for different reasons: accidents suffered by self-employed who are not obliged to notify or\nare insured via private or non-occupational public health insurances, work-related traffic accidents that\nare reported as traffic accidents only, declaration of less severe accidents as private to avoid\nadministrative burden, administrative burden in general. This leads to several approaches to estimate\nthe true number of accidents at work. Currently, these estimates result in figures of around 5.45 million\nwork accidents at EU27 level in 2019 for all economic sectors and all types of employment. That means\nthat the reported 3.14 million accidents represent approximately 57.5% of all work accidents resulting in\nmore than three days of absence, while 42.5% are not reported.\nThe pure distinction between fatal and non-fatal work accidents does not reveal that a very large part of\nthe human and financial burden is caused **by severe but not fatal accidents** . In 2019, 232,892 work\naccidents resulted in an absence of more than three months or caused a permanent disability, compared\nto 3,008 fatal accidents (NACE Rev. 2 activity A, C-N). That is, in addition to every worker who dies,\nanother 77 suffer injuries resulting in at least three months off work or in permanent disability.", + "page_start": 11, + "page_end": 11, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **4 Trends in outcomes - safety, health and wellbeing**\n\n### **4.1 Trends in safety outcomes - work accidents**\n\n#### * **4.1.1 Non-fatal work accidents** *\n\nand compensation. Some researchers perform this calculation only based on the coefficient of two\ncountries, Finland and Germany. 151 Both have separated insurance-based systems and are regarded\nas countries with a high reporting level. The coefficient would be 1,734 (average of both countries\nwithout weighing of population size); this would result in an estimated number of non-fatal work\naccidents of 5.91 million.\n**Self-reports** are another option to identify the number of work accidents. In the Eurostat **LFS Ad hoc**\n**modules of 2007, 2013 and 2020** , 152 ‘Employed persons’ were asked whether they had a work accident\nin the past 12 months.\n\n**Table 17: Self-reported work accidents during the last 12 months (EU27) - LFS Ad hoc modules**\n\nNote: In 2020, in total 0.4% responded that they had more than one accident; these data are not available for 2007\nand 2013.\n\nIn 2007, 3.2% of the respondents reported an accident, in 2013 this fell to 2.8%, and in 2020 2.3% of\nthe ‘Person in labour force’, aged 15-64, responded with a ‘Yes’. This corresponds to a decline of 28%\nfrom 2007 to 2020. The decline of the total estimated number of work accidents shows a similar trend,\na 24% decrease from 5.89 million to 4.46 million (if the persons with more than one accident from the\n2020 survey are not taken into account to achieve a better comparability with 2007 and 2013).\nFor 2020, **an estimate of the number of accidents based on the Ad hoc module results in a figure**\n**of 5.24 million** . The number of ESAW-registered non-fatal accidents in 2019 was 3.14 million,\napproximately 60% of the self-reported. One reason for this difference surely is that the respondents to\nthe question in the LFS Ad hoc module **might refer to every work accident** , including those resulting\nin under four days of absence. 153\n\n**Estimations**\nEurostat itself estimated in 1999 that approximately 37% of the non-fatal accidents did not need to be", + "page_start": 66, + "page_end": 67, + "source_file": "EN-Annex II - EU-OSHA websites, SM accounts and tools.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Occupational safety and health in Europe: state and trends 2023 EN\n\n## **4 Trends in outcomes - safety, health and wellbeing**\n\n**Work accidents, work-related diseases and the level of work-related wellbeing** 114 are regarded as\nthe three major health and safety outcomes of working conditions.

These\nconsist of particular traits or capabilities that researchers expect an intelligent system to display. The traits\ndescribed below have received the most attention and cover the scope of AI research. [a]\nEarly researchers developed algorithms that imitated step-by-step reasoning that humans use when they\n[solve puzzles or make logical deductions.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deductive_reasoning) [13] By the late 1980s and 1990s, methods were developed for\n[dealing with uncertain or incomplete information, employing concepts from probability and](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability)\n[economics.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics) [14]\nMany of these algorithms are insufficient for solving large reasoning problems because they experience a\n\"combinatorial explosion\": They become exponentially slower as the problems grow. [15] Even humans\nrarely use the step-by-step deduction that early AI research could model. They solve most of their\nproblems using fast, intuitive judgments. [16] Accurate and efficient reasoning is an unsolved problem.\n[Knowledge representation and knowledge engineering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_engineering) [17]\nallow AI programs to answer questions intelligently and\nmake deductions about real-world facts. Formal knowledge\nrepresentations are used in content-based indexing and\nretrieval, [18] scene interpretation, [19] clinical decision\nsupport, [20] knowledge discovery (mining \"interesting\" and\n[actionable inferences from large databases),](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database) [21] and other\nareas. [22]\n[A knowledge base is a body of knowledge represented in a](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_base)\n[form that can be used by a program. An ontology is the set](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_(information_science))\nof objects, relations, concepts, and properties used by a\nparticular domain of knowledge. [23] Knowledge bases need\nto represent things such as objects, properties, categories,\nand relations between objects; [24] situations, events, states,\nand time; [25] causes and effects; [26] knowledge about\nknowledge (what we know about what other people\nknow); [27] [ default reasoning (things that humans assume are true until they are told differently and will](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_reasoning)\nremain true even when other facts are changing); [28] and many other aspects and domains of knowledge.\nAmong the most difficult problems in knowledge representation are the breadth of commonsense\nknowledge (the set of atomic facts that the average person knows is enormous); [29] and the sub-symbolic\nform of most commonsense knowledge (much of what people know is not represented as \"facts\" or\n\"statements\" that they could express verbally).

However, OWL was meant to be a language to bring semantics to the Internet so the language designers chose the OWA. The open world assumption means that we cannot assume\nsomething doesn’t exist just because it isn’t currently in the ontology. The Internet is an open system. The\ninformation could be out there in some data source that hasn’t yet been integrated into our ontology. Thus, we can’t conclude some information doesn’t exist unless it is *explicitly stated that it does not exist* . In other words, because something hasn’t been stated to be true, it cannot be assumed to be false — it is assumed that the knowledge just hasn’t been added to the knowledge base. In the case of our pizza ontology, we have stated that MargheritaPizza has toppings that are kinds of MozzarellaTopping\nand also kinds of TomatoTopping . Because of the open world assumption, until we explicitly say that a\nMargheritaPizza only has these kinds of toppings, it is assumed by the reasoner that a\nMargheritaPizza could have other toppings. To specify explicitly that a MargheritaPizza has\ntoppings that are kinds of MozzarellaTopping or kinds of TomatoTopping and only kinds of\nMozzarellaTopping or TomatoTopping , we must add what is known as a closure axiom on the\nhasTopping property.\nIn situations like the above example, a common mistake is to use an intersection instead of a\nunion. For example, CheeseTopping *and* VegetableTopping . Although CheeseTopping\nand Vegetable might be a natural thing to say in English, this logically means something that\nis simultaneously a kind of CheeseTopping and VegetableTopping . This is incorrect\nbecause we have stated that CheeseTopping and VegetableTopping are disjoint classes\nand hence no individual can be an instance of both. If we used such a definition the reasoner\nwould detect the inconsistency.\nIn the above example it might have been tempting to create two universal restrictions — one\nfor CheeseTopping ( ∀ hasTopping CheeseTopping) and one for\nVegetableTopping ( ∀ hasTopping VegetableTopping) .

Then influential technology companies such as Google [Singhal 2012], Facebook [Olanof 2013], and Amazon [Neptune 2017] started to embrace the technology using the term Knowledge Graphs [Noy 2019] and the corporate world is finally realizing that machine learning and knowledge graphs are complimentary not competitive technologies.\nThe term knowledge graph itself can be used in different ways. The best definition I’ve heard is that an\nontology provides the vocabulary (i.e., essentially the T-Box) and a knowledge graph is an ontology combined with data (A-Box). Although in the corporate world I often hear people simply talk about knowledge graphs without much interest in the distinction between the vocabulary and the data.\nThere are a number of vendors emerging who are using the technology in very productive ways and are providing the foundation for federated knowledge graphs that can scale to hundreds of millions of triples or more and provide a framework for all corporate data. I’ve listed several in the bibliography but those", + "page_start": 88, + "page_end": 88, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# A Practical Guide to Building OWL Ontologies Using Protégé 5.5 and Plugins 0 36,030\n\n## 8 April 2021\n\n### Chapter 13 Conclusion: Some Personal Thoughts and Opinions\n\nare only the ones I’ve had some experience with. I’m sure there are many others. One of the products I’ve\nhad the best experience with is the AllegroGraph triplestore and the Gruff visualization tool from Franz Inc. Although Allegro is a commercial tool, the free version supports most of the core capabilities of the commercial version. I’ve found the Allegro triplestore easy to use on a Windows PC with the Docker tool to emulate a Linux server.\nI first started working with classification-based languages when I worked at the Information Sciences Institute (ISI) and used the Loom language [Macgregor 91] to develop B2B systems for the US Department of Defense and their contractors. Since then, I’ve followed the progress of the technology, especially the DARPA knowledge sharing initiative [Neches 91] and always thought there was great promise in the technology. When I first discovered Protégé it was a great experience. It is one of the best supported and most usable free tools I’ve ever seen, and it always surprised me that there weren’t more corporate users leveraging it in major ways. I think we are finally starting to see this happen and I hope this tutorial helps in a small way to accelerate the adoption of this powerful and robust tool.", + "page_start": 88, + "page_end": 88, + "source_file": "Protege5NewOWLPizzaTutorialV3.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "infographic5.pdf", + "query": "Is Text2Onto still updated nowadays?", + "target_page": 1, + "target_passage": "But it is not maintained since 2011.", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": false, + "index": null + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "#AdditionalData(0->63)=00000000210000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\n\n## Chapter 13.

These revenue classifications are defined as follows: Wireless revenues are made up of the Personal Communications Company (a PCS Affiliate of Sprint), and the Mobile Company. Wireline revenues include the following subsidiary revenues in the financial results: Telephone Company, Network Company, Cable Television Company, and the Long Distance Company. Other revenues are comprised of the revenues of ShenTel Service Company, the Leasing Company, ShenTel Communications Company and the Holding Company. For additional information on the Company's business segments, see Note 14 to audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.\nThe Company participates in the telecommunications industry, which requires substantial investment in fixed assets or plant. This significant capital requirement may preclude profitability during the initial years of operation. The strategy of the Company is to grow and diversify the business by adding services and geographic areas that can leverage the existing plant, but to do so within the opportunities and constraints presented by the industry. For many years the Company focused on reducing reliance on the regulated telephone operation, which up until 1981 was the primary business within the Company. This initial diversification was concentrated in other wireline businesses, such as the cable television and regional fiber facility businesses, but in 1990 the Company made its first significant investment in the wireless sector through its former investment in the Virginia 10 RSA Limited partnership. By 1998, revenues of the regulated telephone operation had decreased to 59.2% of total revenues. In that same year more than 76.6% of the Company’s total revenue was generated by wireline operations, and initiatives were already underway to make wireless a more significant contributor to total revenues.\nDuring the 1990’s significant investments were made in the cellular and PCS (wireless) businesses. The VA 10 RSA cellular operation, in which the Company held a 66% interest and was the general partner, experienced rapid revenue growth and excellent margins in the late 1990’s. The cellular operation covered only six counties, and became increasingly dependent on roaming revenues. Management believed the roaming revenues and associated margins would be unsustainable as other wireless providers increasingly offered nationally-branded services with significantly reduced usage charges. To position it to participate in the newer, more advanced, digital wireless services, in 1995 the Company entered the PCS business through an affiliation with American Personal Communications (APC), initiating service along the Interstate 81 corridor from Harrisonburg, Virginia to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. This territory was a very close match to the Company’s fiber network, thereby providing economic integration that might not be available to other wireless carriers. In 1999, the Company entered a new affiliation arrangement with Sprint, the successor to APC (which introduced the Company to a nationally-branded wireless service) and expanded the PCS footprint further into Central Pennsylvania.

On similar traffic volume in both years, the Company generated an additional $0.4 million due to a favorable rate differential of $0.03 per minute on the increase in the mix of intrastate traffic. The Company’s increased access revenue was also a result of the benefit gained through terminating more minutes through the switch, which increased 36.0 million minutes or 35.7% over 2002. The rates for terminating traffic were similar in both years, although the percentage of terminating traffic to total traffic increased from 58% in 2002 to 65% in 2003.\nWithin wireline revenues, the Telephone operation contributed $22.7 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.2%. Telephone access revenues were $11.6 million, an increase of $0.7 million or 6.7%. During 2003, the Company recorded a $1.2 million reduction to access revenue, of which $0.7 million was related to 2002, resolving disputes with interexchange carriers on the rating of long distance calls transiting the Telephone switching network for termination on wireless networks.\nWireless revenues from the Company’s paging operation were $0.2 million, a decrease of $0.1 million as the customer base increasingly chose alternative wireless services. Paging service subscribers declined by 32.3% in 2003 from 2,940 subscribers to 1,989 subscribers. The paging operation continues to decline as more areas are covered by wireless voice services, which have features that surpass those of paging technologies. The Company anticipates that its paging customer base will continue to decline in the future.\nWireless revenues included tower leases of $2.6 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 24.8%. The increase was the result of other wireless carriers executing additional leases to use space on the Company’s portfolio of towers.

The decrease this quarter was largely\nbecause of the $233 million gain on spectrum licenses in 2012 noted\nabove.\nQUARTERLY TRENDS\nOur operating results generally vary from quarter to quarter because of\nchanges in general economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations, in\neach of our business segments, which have a material impact. As such,\none quarter’s operating results are not necessarily indicative of our\nresults in a subsequent quarter. Wireless, Cable and Media each have\nunique seasonal aspects to their businesses.\nFluctuations in net income from quarter to quarter can also be\nattributed to losses on the repayment of debt, foreign exchange gains\nor losses, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, other\nincome and expenses, impairment of assets and changes in income tax\nexpense.\n####### **Wireless**\nThe trends in Wireless revenue and adjusted operating profit reflect:\n- the growing number of wireless voice and data subscribers\n- decreased churn\n- higher usage of wireless data\n- higher handset subsidies as more consumers shift to smartphones\n- a slight decrease in blended ARPU due to changes in wireless price\nplans.\nWe continue to target higher value postpaid subscribers, which has\ncontributed to the significantly heavier mix of postpaid versus prepaid\nsubscribers. Growth in our customer base and overall market\npenetration have resulted in higher costs over time for customer service,\nretention, credit and collection; however, most of the cost increases\nhave been offset by gains in operating efficiencies.\nWireless’ operating results are influenced by the timing of our\nmarketing and promotional expenditures and higher levels of subscriber\nadditions and related subsidies, resulting in higher subscriber acquisition\nand activation-related expenses in certain periods. This increased activity\ngenerally occurs in the third and fourth quarters, and can also occur or\nbe accentuated by the launch of popular new wireless handset models.\n####### **Cable**\nThe trends in Cable services revenue and operating profit increases are\nprimarily due to:\n- higher penetration and usage of Internet, digital and telephony\nproducts and services\n- offset by competitive losses of television subscribers and pricing\nchanges over the past year.\nCable’s operating results are affected by modest seasonal fluctuations\nin subscriber additions and disconnections, typically caused by:\n- university and college students moving\n- individuals temporarily suspending service for extended vacations or\nseasonal relocations\n- the concentrated marketing we generally conduct in our fourth\nquarter.\n####### **Business Solutions**\nThe trends in Business Solutions operating profit margin primarily reflect", + "page_start": 58, + "page_end": 58, + "source_file": "NYSE_RCI_2013.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT MEDIA WIRELESS CABLE ROGERS.COM\n\n## **93 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows**\n\n####### **Lower Operating Expenses**\n\nInternet access, text messaging and other wireless data services. Data\nrevenue represented approximately 47% of total network revenue this\nyear, compared to approximately 41% last year.\nPostpaid churn was 1.24% this year, compared to 1.29% in 2012. The\nlower churn rate is partly attributable to the new simplified plans and\nthe roaming plans we introduced.\nGross postpaid subscriber additions were 1.4 million this year, or 3%\nlower than last year, which reduced net postpaid subscriber additions to\n228,000, despite a lower postpaid churn. We believe the industry\ntransition from three year to two year plans resulting from the recent\nadoption of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications\nCommission (CRTC) Wireless Code may have slowed our overall\nwireless subscriber growth from the second half of the year. See\n“Regulation in Our Industry” for more information on the Wireless\nCode.\nWe activated and upgraded approximately 2.7 million smartphones this\nyear, compared to approximately 2.9 million in 2012. Approximately\n34% of these were for new subscribers. The decrease was mainly\nbecause there was a 10% reduction in hardware upgrades by existing\nsubscribers during the year, which we also believe is at least partly due\nto the move from three to two year contracts and the associated pricing\nchanges.\nThe percentage of subscribers with smartphones increased to 75% of\nour overall postpaid subscriber base, compared to 69% at the end of\n2012.

The increase in the subscriber base, which totaled 67,842 at December 31, 2002, was an increase of 20,524 or 43% from the prior year end.\nPCS travel revenue, which is compensation between Sprint and its PCS Affiliates for use of the other party’s network, was $16.5 million, an increase of $2.9 million or 21.3%. Travel revenue is impacted by the geographic size of the Company’s network service area, the overall number of Sprint wireless customers, and the travel exchange rate. The rate received on travel was $0.10 per minute in 2002. The rates in 2001 were $0.20 per minute from January 1, 2001 through April 30, 2001; $0.15 per minute from May 1, 2001 through September 30, 2001; and $0.12 per minute from October 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001.\nPCS equipment sales were $1.6 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 19.6%. The equipment sales are net of $0.3 million of rebates and discounts given at the time of sale, which became more pronounced during the year to meet industry competition for subscriber additions and subscriber retention.\nIn accordance with Sprint’s requirements, the Company launched third generation (3G 1X) service in August 2002. The impact of 3G 1X-network enhancements on revenues was not significant in 2002.\nTower leases added $2.1 million to wireless revenues, an increase of $0.4 million or 24.5%.

For the first time in our history, revenues exceeded $100 million, reaching a total of $105.9 million for the year. While revenues increased by $12.9 million, our operating expenses only increased by $3.6 million, resulting in a $9.3 million improvement in operating income which reached $18.6 million. Helped by the one-time gain from the sale of our cellular partnership interest, our net income was a record $32.1 million. Our net income from continuing operations, which excludes the cellular impact, reached $9.8 million.\nWhile the last few years have not been kind to many companies in the telecommunications industry, your Company has not just survived, it has thrived. In addition to the operating results, our balance sheet became even stronger. Total debt was again reduced, decreasing by $12.2 million to $43.3 million as of the end of the year. At the same time, our cash and equivalents at the end of the year was $28.7 million, while total assets were $185.4 million. With our total long-term debt equaling only 23.4 percent of total assets, your Company's balance sheet is envied in an industry where many companies have encountered problems just meeting their debt obligations, much less being able to invest in their future.\nAs previously announced, the Company completed the sale of our cellular partnership interest on February 28, 2003. While our participation in cellular, a subset of the wireless industry, had been very profitable, competitive pressures in the wireless industry were having an increasing impact. We had already lost half of our customers, and growth in revenues and profits had begun to slow. Exiting the cellular segment through the sale allows the Company to focus on our significantly larger digital PCS operation. It also made available a large source of cash to finance our other operating needs and future growth opportunities.\nOur wireless priorities are now focused on improving results within our PCS operation. After many years of multiple- million dollar losses, our PCS business produced a slight profit in 2003. While many non-recurring factors contributed to this small profit, the basic operating results within this subsidiary showed significant improvement during 2003. PCS revenues grew 20.8 percent to a total of $67.0 million. Operating income in this subsidiary was $2.9 million, an $8.2 million change from the previous year's loss.

The company had churn of 2.1% in 2003 compared to 2.8% in 2002.

The consultation covered three\nbroad themes, asking what consumers think about:\n- the television programming available to them\n- the reception of television programming from service providers and\nother sources\n- whether they have enough information to make informed choices\nand seek solutions if they are not satisfied.\nComments were due on November 22, 2013. On November 14, 2013,\nthe Government ordered the CRTC to report by April 30, 2014 on the\nsteps it will take to maximize Canadians’ ability to subscribe to pay and\nspecialty services on a pick-and-pay basis. The Government asked that\nthe report:\n- consider the effect on consumers and their ability to access\naffordable discretionary TV services\n- consider the effect on industry participants (i.e. programmers,\ndistributors and producers)\n- ensure that the majority of services received by Canadians remain\nCanadian and that distributors continue to give priority to the\ncarriage of Canadian services.\nThe CRTC is expected to launch a regulatory proceeding to explore new\napproaches at the same time it issues its report to the Government. A\npublic hearing is expected to be held in September 2014 and a decision\nexpected by early 2015.

Again and again, and by a\nnumber of measures, we outperformed our peers, our mar-\nkets and our own solid track record.\nAnd we did this in a year that was challenging in just about\nevery way. The economy was unstable, public companies\ncame under continuing scrutiny, indecency issues hounded\nbroadcasters, competition for tight ad dollars increased and\ntechnology continued to reshape the media world.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_EMMS_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Outperform Emmis Communications 2004 Annual Report\n\n## Outperform.\n\npaying any dividends on shares of its common stock in the foreseeable future.\nemmis entities\n**RADIO**\n**Austin**\nKDHT-FM (93.3), Rhythmic CHR\nKEYI-FM (103.5), Oldies\nKGSR-FM (107.1), Adult Alternative\nKLBJ-AM (590), News/Talk\nKLBJ-FM (93.7), Album Oriented Rock\nKROX-FM (101.5), Alternative Rock\n**Chicago**\nWKQX-FM (101.1), Alternative Rock\n**Indianapolis**\nWENS-FM (97.1), Adult Contemporary\nWIBC-AM (1070), News/Talk/Sports\nWNOU-FM (93.1), CHR\nWYXB-FM (105.7), Soft Adult Contemporary\nNetwork Indiana, Statewide news network\n**Los Angeles**\nKPWR-FM (105.9), Hip-Hop/R&B\nKZLA-FM (93.9), Country\n**New York**\nWQCD-FM (101.9), Smooth Jazz\nWQHT-FM (97.7), Hip-Hop\nWRKS-FM(98.7), Classic Soul/Today’s R&B\n**Phoenix**\nKKFR-FM(92.3), Rhythmic CHR\nKKLT-FM (98.7), Adult Contemporary\nKMVP-AM (860), Sports\nKTAR-AM (620), News/Talk/Sports\n**St. Louis**\nKFTK-FM (97.1), Talk\nKIHT-FM (96.3), Classic Hits\nKPNT-FM (105.7), Alternative Rock\nKSHE-FM (94.7), Album Oriented Rock\nWRDA-FM (104.1), New Standards\n**Terre Haute**\nWTHI-FM (99.9), Country\nWWVR-FM (105.5), Classic Rock\n**TELEVISION**\nAlbuquerque, N.M., KRQE-TV (Channel 13),\nCBS programming/local news\nFort Myers, Fla., WFTX-TV (Channel 4),\nFox programming/local news\nGreen Bay, Wis., WLUK-TV (Channel 11),\nFox programming/local news\nHonolulu, KHON-TV (Channel 2),\nFox programming/local news\nHonolulu, KGMB-TV (Channel 9),\nCBS programming/local news\nHuntington/Charleston, W.Va., WSAZ-TV (Channel 3),\nNBC programming/local news\nMobile, Ala./Pensacola, Fla., WALA-TV (Channel 10),\nFox programming/local news\nMobile, Ala./Pensacola, Fla., WBPG-TV (Channel\n55), WB programming\nNew Orleans, WVUE-TV (Channel 8),\nFox programming/local news\nOmaha, Neb., KMTV-TV (Channel 3),\nCBS programming/local news\nOrlando, Fla., WKCF-TV (Channel 18),\nWB programming\nPortland, Ore., KOIN-TV (Channel 6),\nCBS programming/local news\nTerre Haute, Ind., WTHI-TV (Channel 10),\nCBS programming/local news\nTopeka, Kan., KSNT-TV (Channel 27),\nNBC programming/local news\nTucson, Ariz., KGUN-TV (Channel 9),\nABC programming/local news\nWichita, Kan., KSNW-TV (Channel 3),\nNBC programming/local news\n**PUBLISHING**\n*Atlanta*\n*Country Sampler*\n*Cincinnati*\n*Indianapolis Monthly*\n*Los Angeles*\n*Texas Monthly*\n**INTERNATIONAL**\nHungary, Sláger Rádió, Classic Rock/local programming\nBelgium, nine stations serving the Flanders region\n**RELATED BUSINESSES**\nEmmis Books\nEmmis Interactive\nRDS\nemmis communications\none emmis plaza\n40 monument circle\nindianapolis, indiana 46204\n®", + "page_start": 5, + "page_end": 7, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_EMMS_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# MERMAID MARINE AUSTRALIA LIMITED ACN 083 185 693\n\n## **30.

In 1998, Emmis expanded into television by buying\nsix television stations in markets throughout the United States. In the last\nsix years, the company has added properties in each of its divisions.\nWith its emphasis on solid operations, integrity, community involvement\nand fun, the company’s culture has been repeatedly lauded by both its\nemployees and its peers.

And while that might\nhave sounded like the usual Wall Street hyperbole - like any\nother CEO bragging about his company’s performance - the\ndifference is, I believed it. And I still do.\nBut I’ve been in this business long enough to know two\nthings for sure: What I believe is not as important as what I\ncan prove, and what we did last year is only meaningful if it\nreflects on how we will do in the coming year. The good\nnews is, Emmis does have the results to back up my high\npraise, and what we did to perform last year does directly\nrelate to how we’ll perform in the year ahead.\n**The best year**\nThe bottom line is this: Emmis Communications turned in a\nremarkable performance last year. Again and again, and by a\nnumber of measures, we outperformed our peers, our mar-\nkets and our own solid track record.\nAnd we did this in a year that was challenging in just about\nevery way. The economy was unstable, public companies\ncame under continuing scrutiny, indecency issues hounded\nbroadcasters, competition for tight ad dollars increased and\ntechnology continued to reshape the media world.", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_EMMS_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Outperform Emmis Communications 2004 Annual Report\n\n## Outperform.\n\n##### you can count on emmis to continue to do\n\nthe last fiscal year - we ended fiscal ’03 at 19.79, and closed\nthe book on fiscal ’04 at 25.17.\n**How we did it**\nOperationally, we were on top of our game last year. However,\nas I said, I know that the past year’s performance really only\nmatters if it reflects on what we’ll do in the coming year. The\ngood news is, it does. We performed at these high levels not\nby doing something unusual, but by operating the way Emmis\nhas always operated, and the way we always will.\nFirst of all, we focus on assembling and maintaining the best\nteams in our markets. We have traditionally had the top\nsalespeople, creative and technical professionals, news\nstaffs, managers and support staff in every city where we\noperate. Their peers turn to them for industry leadership,\nhonor them with awards and copy them at every opportunity.\nWe invest in these people, giving them industry-leading ben-\nefits packages, great opportunities and the tools they need to\nsucceed. This has always been a hallmark of Emmis, and it\nwon’t change.\n##### you can count on emmis to continue to do\nIn addition, we commit ourselves to creating the best content\nin our markets. Our magazines routinely dominate their\nindustry awards ceremonies - last year, *Texas Monthly* won a\ncoveted National Magazine Award, and Emmis publications\nclaimed more than half of the awards at the City and\nRegional Magazine competition. Our radio stations feature\nsome of the industry’s most popular personalities - in 2003,\nEmmis people and stations were awarded three Marconi\nRadio Awards. And our television operations are regularly\nhonored by journalism organizations for their news gathering\nand community service. In short, we provide our markets\nwith reliable, high-quality content - content that helps us\nassemble the audiences our advertisers want to reach.\nWe then generate revenue by overallocating to sales. We\ngive our teams well-developed strategies, clearly defined\nbrands and solid products. We build bigger, better sales\nforces and put a greater emphasis on local dollars than our\ncompetitors. We hire aggressive managers, set ambitious\ngoals and then watch our people work harder and smarter", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_EMMS_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Outperform Emmis Communications 2004 Annual Report\n\n## Outperform.\n\n##### you can count on emmis to continue to do\n\nthan anyone else.\nWe also seize the right opportunities and make the most\nof them. As the cost of buying radio properties has gone\nthrough the roof, we have been careful about buying.\nHowever, when we had a chance to acquire the LBJ stations\nin Austin, we knew it was the right fit: good stations, a\ntremendous heritage and a great culture, all with an opportu-\nnity for growth. And we’ve already built on that group’s track\nrecord - since we bought them, we’ve reformatted one sta-\ntion and quickly sent it to No. 1 in the market, and we’ve\npushed revenues up 9 percent for the entire group.\nFinally, we innovate. Why has Emmis, traditionally a radio\ncompany, become the company to emulate in TV? Because\nwe approached TV in a way it’s never been approached\nbefore. Why do we operate leading hip-hop stations in mar-\nkets across the nation? Because we pioneered the concept.\nWhy have we created a new “Music with Class” format in St.\nLouis’ Red 104.1? Because we believe we see a new oppor-\ntunity. We know that successful companies don’t follow the\npack. They lead it, and that’s what we’ll always do.\n**The year ahead**\nThat last point - innovation - is an important one, especially\nfor the future of Emmis, because we are planning something\nthat could change the face of American TV and once again\ndemonstrate that Emmis is a company that leads the way.\nForty years ago, Americans began taking down their TV\nantennas and severing broadcasters’ direct link to television\naudiences. Since then, the cable companies—the middlemen\nwho replaced us—have created more than $300 billion of\nvalue for themselves. However, changes in technology have\ngiven broadcasters the ability to provide the American public\nwith the most popular TV channels, without the middlemen\nand at a more reasonable price.\nWe are developing an innovative model that will leverage\nthat technology to get broadcast companies back into the\ngame. I believe it has the potential to revolutionize the\ntelevision industry. I also believe it will add substantial value\nto your investment.", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "NASDAQ_EMMS_2004.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Outperform Emmis Communications 2004 Annual Report\n\n## Outperform.\n\n###### emmis communications 2004 abbreviated financial highlights *in thousands except where noted*\n\nBut our people refused to be slowed by those challenges.\nInstead, they worked through them.

As the cost of buying radio properties has gone\nthrough the roof, we have been careful about buying.\nHowever, when we had a chance to acquire the LBJ stations\nin Austin, we knew it was the right fit: good stations, a\ntremendous heritage and a great culture, all with an opportu-\nnity for growth. And we’ve already built on that group’s track\nrecord - since we bought them, we’ve reformatted one sta-\ntion and quickly sent it to No. 1 in the market, and we’ve\npushed revenues up 9 percent for the entire group.\nFinally, we innovate. Why has Emmis, traditionally a radio\ncompany, become the company to emulate in TV? Because\nwe approached TV in a way it’s never been approached\nbefore. Why do we operate leading hip-hop stations in mar-\nkets across the nation? Because we pioneered the concept.\nWhy have we created a new “Music with Class” format in St.\nLouis’ Red 104.1? Because we believe we see a new oppor-\ntunity. We know that successful companies don’t follow the\npack. They lead it, and that’s what we’ll always do.\n**The year ahead**\nThat last point - innovation - is an important one, especially\nfor the future of Emmis, because we are planning something\nthat could change the face of American TV and once again\ndemonstrate that Emmis is a company that leads the way.\nForty years ago, Americans began taking down their TV\nantennas and severing broadcasters’ direct link to television\naudiences. Since then, the cable companies—the middlemen\nwho replaced us—have created more than $300 billion of\nvalue for themselves. However, changes in technology have\ngiven broadcasters the ability to provide the American public\nwith the most popular TV channels, without the middlemen\nand at a more reasonable price.\nWe are developing an innovative model that will leverage\nthat technology to get broadcast companies back into the\ngame.

Within that level of\ndescription, simple phenomenological models such as the\nprimitive model (PM), for which the ions are assimi-\nlated to charged hard spheres [2], can lead to explicit\nformulas for the thermodynamic and structural proper-\nties (e.g., with the help of the mean spherical approxima-\ntion (MSA) [3] or the binding MSA (BIMSA) [4]). These\nmodels are the most practical to use [5], since they allow\nfor a direct link between the experimental measurements\nand the microscopic parameters of the system. Never-\ntheless, they ignore the molecular structure of the sol-\nvent. Consequently, they cannot properly account for\nthe complex specific effects of the ions, which appear in\nnumerous biological, chemical, and physical interfacial\nphenomena [6, 7], without further developments.\nAn alternative procedure consists in carrying out\nmolecular simulations, where both the solvent and solute\nare treated explicitly.

The top panel of Fig. 2 shows a series\nof (noisy) heartbeat observations.

Equipped with a generative model like the one shown in Fig. 1 ,\nan active inference agent can continuously infer (and act upon)\nthe state of the world and of the body, including the internal\nmilieu, at multiple time scales. Of particular interest, here are\nmultimodal inferences that unite exteroceptive and interocep-\ntive sources of evidence. One example of this is the percep-\ntion of faces expressing emotions. Two studies reported that\n6 Barca *et* *al.*\nparticipants processed faces expressing fear (but not neutral\nfaces or faces expressing other emotions) when their heart rate\nwas high—hence congruent with the fearful expression ( Pez- zulo et al. 2018 , Yu et al. 2021 ). The generative model shown in Fig. 1 could support this kind of inference by using interocep- tive information from the heart (i.e. high heart rate) as evidence\nthat “there might be something fearful out there” ( Pezzulo 2013 ).\nAnother more complex example regards emotional awareness\nand self-awareness—which significantly engage the brain regions\ninvolved in interoception and the representation of physiologi- cal processes ( Garfinkel et al. 2013 ). The generative model shown in Fig. 1 might support processes of emotional awareness in a way that is neither purely bottom-up (i.e. as if interoceptive sig- nals cause emotional awareness) nor top-down (i.e. as if emotional\nawareness causes interoceptive signals), but rather through a\ncircular causality between central predictions about bodily state—\nthat engage autonomic reflexes—and interoceptive streams—that\nupdate the predictions ( Seth and Friston 2016 ). In this perspec-\ntive, any representation that induces interoceptive predictions\ncould be associated with emotional or affective content; cru-\ncially, this is also the case with some aspects of self-awareness\n(e.g. recognizing one’s own face) that require integrating intero-\nceptive streams with concurrent exteroceptive (e.g. visual) and\nproprioceptive cues. These examples illustrate that the genera- tive model of Fig. 1 natively implements both the multisensory\nintegration required to unite (for example) interoceptive and exte-\nroceptive streams and the active aspects that are supposed to\nsupport emotional and self-processing—and the construction of an “embodied self” (i.e. the circular causality between engag-\ning autonomic reflexes and capturing the ensuing interoceptive\nsignals).\nIn general, the accuracy of the inference of hidden bodily", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 5, + "source_file": "pubmed1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Special Issue: Experiencing Well-Being Modeling and controlling the body in maladaptive ways: an ac[...]\n\n### Active inference, interoceptive processing, and uncertainty reduction\n\nguiding inference. Remarkably, the inference can be more or less\naccurate or fast using the same data, depending on the precision parameters. Note that in Fig. 2 , we manipulated only the precision\nof the likelihood. However, it would also be possible to manipulate\nthe precision of the prior, together or in alternative to the precision\nof the likelihood. Generally speaking, when the precision of the\n8 Barca *et* *al.*\nprior is very high, the posterior will closely reflect the prior, ren-\ndering the inference rigid and incapable of adapting to changing\nenvironmental conditions—which might be especially problem-\natic in periods of significant changes, such as adolescence or more\nsimply when one changes city, working environment, and friends. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 1 , hierarchical predictive coding\narchitectures have precision values associated with every hierar- chical level (whereas, for simplicity, the inference shown in Fig. 2\nis not hierarchical). The correct balance of precision parameters\nwithin and across layers is crucial for accurate inference, as it\nensures that the correct levels of confidence are assigned to data\nand prior information.\nFinally, and importantly, aberrant precision control (as well\nas various combinations of other factors discussed earlier, such\nas noisy bodily sensations and poor bodily mode) can render\ninference not just incorrect but also highly ambiguous, leaving a\nperson in a permanent condition of uncertainty about whether\none is fatigued (when considering the bodily state), happy, or sad\n(when considering the emotional state), what kind of person one\nis or what are one’s desires (when considering self-models), etc.\nImportantly, this condition of uncertainty is not limited to percep-\ntual inference but has a cascade effect on decision-making and\naction selection. Indeed, an uncertain estimate of one’s state auto-\nmatically implies that one has low confidence in the effects of\none’s plans; for example, it renders more difficult the prediction\nof whether a run would be too fatiguing or a party too stressful.\nIt is exactly this kind of uncertainty (about the present and the\nfuture, the body state or the outcomes of social interactions, etc.)\nthat active inference agents strive to avoid.", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 7, + "source_file": "pubmed1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Special Issue: Experiencing Well-Being Modeling and controlling the body in maladaptive ways: an ac[...]\n\n### Active inference, interoceptive processing, and uncertainty reduction\n\nthe posterior is “overfitting,” meaning that the inference result is\nexcessively biased by the likelihood distribution.\nFinally, the two bottom series of panels are organized in two\n(left and right) columns, which show the first five time steps of\ninference for the two cases with high precision (of 10) and low pre-\ncision (of 0.1) of the likelihood, respectively.

Notably, the (expected) free\nenergy minimization processes that drive active inference jointly\nconsider two complementary objectives. The former (utilitarian)\nobjective is to realize one’s preferences, such as being satiated\nor safe, by minimizing the discrepancy between preferred sensa-\ntions (encoded as “priors over observations” in active inference)\nand current sensations in different modalities (e.g. interoceptive\nor exteroceptive). The latter (epistemic) objective is to reduce\nuncertainty about one’s estimated state. This means that active\ninference agents tend to avoid ambiguous states, encompass-\ning the avoidance of ambiguous places where self-localization is\nchallenging, ambiguous social situations where safety is uncer-\ntain, and ambiguous bodily states, such as unsure feelings of\nfatigue. However, one apparent exception to this aversion to ambi-\nguity arises when exploring novel states implies the opportunity to learn new things and enhance one’s model; see Friston et al.\n(2017) for a discussion. Furthermore, and importantly, active infer-\nence agents will actively operate in the environment to reduce\ntheir ambiguity; for example, by actively seeking informative sen-\nsations that disambiguate in which location they are (e.g. by\nlooking for traffic signs), whether their social context is safe\nor unsafe (e.g. by trying to understand other’s intentions from\ntheir facial expressions and actions), or whether they are cur-\nrently fatigued (e.g. by putting attention to one’s heart), happy,\nor sad.\nThe last examples—disambiguating one’s fatigue and emo-\ntional states—may seem strange if one assumes that we do have\ndirect access to the body- and allostasis-related states (e.g. states\nof satiation, thirst, and fatigue) and to our emotions (e.g. we\nautomatically know whether we are happy or sad). However, one\nassumption of active inference is that one’s bodily and emotional\nstates are not necessarily observable but, instead, “hidden states”\nthat need to be inferred on the basis of sensations (especially,\nbut not exclusively, of interoceptive sensations from the inside\nof the body) and of an implicit, unconscious model of how the body functions ( Barrett and Simmons 2015 , Pezzulo et al. 2015 ,\nSeth and Friston 2016 ).

Perception in Active Inference*\n\nIn AIF, perception is conceptualised as the result of variational (i.e., approximate)\nBayesian inference, performed by minimising the *VFE* to optimise parameters of poste-\nrior beliefs about the environment. In exact Bayesian inference, we use a parametrised\ngenerative model *m* to make an optimal inference about state *s* of the environment based\non observation *o* . This is performed by combining a prior belief over states *p* ( *s* *|* *m* ) ; a like- lihood model *p* ( *o* *|* *s* , *m* ) ; and the model evidence *p* ( *o* *|* *m* ) , a normalisation term encoding the likelihood of receiving the given observations across all possible environmental states,\nas follows [ 1 ]: *p* ( *s* *|* *o* , *m* ) = *p* ( *o* *|* *s* , *m* ) *p* ( *s* *|* *m* ) *p* ( *o* *|* *m* ) (1)\nThe posterior distribution over states given observations *p* ( *s* *|* *o* , *m* ) here represent the agent’s beliefs about the environment. Forming beliefs in this way is thought to be the process that\nenables conscious, as well as unconscious, perception. The product of the likelihood model\nand prior is also called the joint likelihood *p* ( *o* , *s* *|* *m* ) , which fully defines the generative model, and which we use henceforth. In the following, for notational simplicity, we also\nomit denoting the dependency on the generative model *m* .\nCalculating the model evidence *p* ( *o* ) is often intractable, making exact Bayesian infer-\nence unfeasible. The way to circumvent this in AIF is to use a variational approximation\nto Bayesian inference [ 23 , 33 , 50 , 51 ]. This works by transforming the inference into an opti-\nmisation problem, specifically the minimisation of the *VFE* . First, an arbitrary probability\ndistribution over environmental states *q* ( *s* ) , an approximate posterior that is used to ap-\nproximate the exact posterior, is introduced. We then introduce the Kullback- Leibler (KL)\n8 of 33\ndivergence between the approximate posterior *q* ( *s* ) and the exact posterior, which is also\nsometimes called the perceptual divergence:\n*D* KL [ *q* ( *s* ) *∥* *p* ( *s* *|* *o* )] = ∑ *s* *q* ( *s* ) ln *q* ( *s* ) *p* ( *s* *|* *o* ) (2)", + "page_start": 6, + "page_end": 7, + "source_file": "pubmed7_cc4.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Special Issue: Experiencing Well-Being Modeling and controlling the body in maladaptive ways: an ac[...]\n\n### Active inference, interoceptive processing, and uncertainty reduction\n\nstates, the “embodied self,” or other aspects of the model depends\non the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensations and on the quality of\nthe model. For example, it is difficult to self-localize in a city if it\nis dark (low signal-to-noise ratio) or if one does not know the city\nwell (poor model). The inference of hidden bodily and emotional\nstates might function in an analogous manner. If the quality of\nthe afferent interoceptive (e.g. cardiac) signals is low, or if one has\na poor model of how one’s body functions, then it would estimate\none’s bodily states such as fatigue incorrectly (which in turn would\nalso impair its adaptive regulation of the same bodily states). Inte-\nroceptive signals could be “too noisy” for various reasons, which\nmight be related to physiology, inflammation, or stress. The body\nmodel can be poor in various ways, too. For example, it could\npoorly characterize the statistical relations between interoceptive\nsensations and hidden bodily states (e.g. systematically mischar-\nacterize high heart rate as caused by hunger but not fatigue\nor joy).\nFinally, there is a third essential element that determines the\naccuracy of the inference: precision control. In predictive cod-\ning, the influence of prediction errors on inference is weighted by their precision, i.e. inverse variance (pink triangles in Fig. 1 ).\nThis weighting would ensure that very reliable sensations have\nmore impact on inference than unreliable sensations. However,\nprecision (like all other variables) needs to be estimated, but this\nmight be incorrect. An incorrect setting of precisions has been\nassociated with various psychopathological conditions, such as psychosis ( Adams et al. 2013 ), eating disorders ( Barca and Pezzulo\n2020 ), panic disorders ( Maisto et al. 2021 ), symptom perception ( Pezzulo et al. 2019 ), depression ( Barrett et al. 2016 ), and many others ( Khalsa et al. 2018 , Paulus et al. 2019 ). Intuitively, assign-\ning excessively high weight to noisy sensations yields an incorrect\ninference that tracks the noise rather than the correct state of\nthe estimated variable system (i.e. overfitting), whereas assigning\nexcessively low weight to sensations (or excessively high weight to\nprior knowledge) makes the system poorly responsive to incom-\ning observations that might signal a change in the state of the\nsystem—and both are examples of aberrant inference ( Friston et al. 2014 ).

Introduction**\n\nWe introduce a novel software library for Julia, ActiveInference , which lets users\nproduce the simulated behaviour of agents and their internal belief states with active\ninference (AIF) models, as well as fit such models to empirically observed behaviour.\nAIF [ 1 - 3 ] is a generally applicable formal framework for understanding and simulating\nintelligent behaviour that is based in neurobiology and first principles from statistical\nphysics [ 4 - 8 ]. AIF treats action and perception as unified under a joint imperative: to\nminimise the variational free energy ( *VFE* ), which quantifies how well the agent’s internal\ngenerative model explains incoming sensory observations. It is an upper bound on the\nthe surprise from sensory observations, making AIF formally related to prediction error\n*Entropy* **2025** , *27* , 62 [https://doi.org/10.3390/e27010062](https://doi.org/10.3390/e27010062)\n2 of 33\nminimisation [ 9 ]. Choosing actions that minimise the expected free energy ( *EFE* ) of their\nconsequences provides a natural balance between exploratory and exploitative behaviour;\ngeneralises descriptive approaches to behavioural modelling, like reinforcement learning\nand expected utility maximisation; and provides a singular approach to adaptive behaviour\nthat can be used across different environments. AIF was argued to be applicable to any self-\norganising system that actively maintains a stable boundary that defines its integrity [ 10 ],\na broad category that includes cells and plants [ 11 ], as well as humans [ 2 ] and even\ncollectives [ 12 ]. Owing to its generality, AIF has seen a rise in popularity across multiple\nfields. It is used for theoretical simulations of the mechanisms underlying various types of\nbehaviour [ 2 ], computational phenotyping in computational psychiatry [ 13 , 14 ], and agent-\nbased simulations of population dynamics [ 15 ], as well as in engineering and robotics [ 16 ].\nIn AIF, perception and concurrent action are based on performing a variational Bayesian\ninversion of a generative model of the environment (i.e., a model of how the environment\nchanges and brings about sensory observations). This belief updating includes inferring\n(hidden) states of the environment, learning parameters of the generative model and\nlearning the structure of the generative model. Since the requisite inference schemes come\npre-specified, the main task in AIF modelling becomes specifying an appropriate generative\nmodel. This includes specifying priors over environmental states, as well as what might\nbe called *prior preferences* , *preference priors* or *goal priors* : immutable prior expectations that", + "page_start": 0, + "page_end": 1, + "source_file": "pubmed7_cc4.pdf" + } + ] + }, + { + "references": { + "source_file": "pubmed1.pdf", + "query": "At what stage of childhood does the construction of narrative identity take place?", + "target_page": 3, + "target_passage": "Among the challenges that adolescents have to face are the structuring of a “narrative identity” or self-story, featuring the development of a sense of personal identity that integrates past experiences with current, and future goals and meanings in a coherent whole over time ", + "chunk_present": { + "presence": true, + "index": 0 + } + }, + "top_chunk": [ + { + "text": "# Special Issue: Experiencing Well-Being Modeling and controlling the body in maladaptive ways: an ac[...]\n\n### NSSI in adolescence\n\nAdolescence is the period of developmental transition from child-\nhood to adulthood, which might be stretched up to the early\n20s due to current sociocultural changes (e.g. delays in complet-\ning education, occupational attainment, and parenthood) ( Patton et al. 2018 ). Among the challenges that adolescents have to face\nare the structuring of a “narrative identity” or self-story, featuring\nthe development of a sense of personal identity that integrates\npast experiences with current, and future goals and meanings in\na coherent whole over time ( McAdams and McLean 2013 , McLean\nand Lilgendahl 2019 ). The definition of the new boundaries of\nadolescents’ personal identity involves significant changes in the\n4 Barca *et* *al.*\nreciprocity with caregivers and peers. Thus, in parallel to the\nnegotiation of identity with caregivers (through a relative detach-\nment from them, a renegotiation of intimacy, and the questioning\nof their confirmatory authority), the modifications of friendship\nstructures—from childhood to adolescence—lay the ground for\nthe progressive recognition of social contexts and peer relation-\nships as the elite territories for the modulation and exploration\nof personal identity. The redefinition that the adolescent has to\nface in these territories of exploration (of the self as an individ-\nual separated from the other and of the self with the other) might\npass through a phase of reduced coherence in the narration of\nthe self and hence an increased level of uncertainty. Coherence\nin the self’s narrative is considered a measure of well-being and\nhas been associated with psychopathology in adulthood ( Klim- stra and Denissen 2017 ) and adolescence ( Lind et al. 2020 , Shiner et al. 2021 ). For example, narrative incoherence has been found\nto be associated with personality disorders in adolescents ( Lind et al. 2019 ), where “identity diffusion” (e.g. feelings of emptiness", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "pubmed1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# The meaningfulness of exploring one ’ s own limits through interactions and enjoyment in outdoor h[...]\n\n### 2 Materials and methods\n\n#### 2.7 Analysis\n\nThe transcribed material was analyzed using systematic text\ncondensation (STC) ( 30 ) and was organized utilizing NVivo\n(version 1.7.1).

It involves four-steps: (1) identi fi cation\noverall themes from the empirical material, (2) extraction of\nmeaning units from the text which were then coded into groups,\n(3) condensation of all meaning units within the subgroups into\nan arti fi cial quotation, that summarize and represents\nparticipants ’ voices, (4) recontextualization of the material into\ncategories, presented as analytical texts. The process is iterative,\nresulting in continuous movement between the transcripts and\nwithin different steps of the analysis. An example of the STC\nprocess is illustrated in Figure 1 .\nThe fi rst author (SSHD) transcribed the interviews and read\nall material several times, while BN and ECA read most of the\ninterviews before preliminary themes were agreed on. SSHD\nidenti fi ed meaning units adhering to these themes and\ncoded them into groups. Condensates of the subgroups were\nwritten by SSHD and discussed by all researchers. SSHD then\nrecontextualized the material by forming categories\ndescribed as analytical texts supplemented by quotes, a process\nthat was discussed and revised several times by all authors.\nAll authors contributed to writing the manuscript.\nEnactive theory was used to interpret the results, aiming at\nextracting new knowledge beyond what the informants\nhad provided ( 28 ).", + "page_start": 4, + "page_end": 4, + "source_file": "pubmed13.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Special Issue: Experiencing Well-Being Modeling and controlling the body in maladaptive ways: an ac[...]\n\n### NSSI in adolescence\n\nand being fragmented and lack of a sense of continuity over time)\nmight be considered an expression of high levels of uncertainty of\nthe self.\nEmotion-wise, a developmental trend toward an increased\nspecificity of emotion-related maps of bodily sensations ( Barca et al. 2023 )—a proxy of interoceptive representations of\nemotions—has been reported from children aged 6 years to adult- hood ( Hietanen et al. 2016 ). Pubertal changes encompass dramatic\nbodily and neuroendocrine system changes, comprising—but not\nreduced to—changes in the reproductive, adrenal, and growth\naxes ( Cameron 2004 ). Thus, adolescents might face at least four\nsources of uncertainty: (i) the uncertainty due to physiological\nalterations related to bodily changes and to modification in hor-\nmonal levels leading to sexual maturity; (ii) the uncertainty in self- identity (i.e. the structure of self-awareness) and personal identity\n(i.e, the narrative diachronic self) ( Drummond 2021 ), which might\nbe coupled with changes in body image and the development of\ngender identity; (iii) the uncertainty in affect regulation, with the\nemergence of new forms of affectivity as feelings of love and sex-\nual attraction toward a partner; and (iv) uncertainty in the social\ncontext, with respect to their social status and role expectations\nin the adult society. Such high levels of uncertainty might lead\nto a poorly defined sense of self, with unclear boundaries and a\nsense of emptiness. In this context, pain becomes a possible way\nto recover a bodily sense of self, and self-injurious behavior might\nbe instantiated as an attempt to reduce the rise in the levels of\nuncertainty in these (and potentially other) domains, toward the transition to adulthood (see Miller et al. 2020 for a closely related\napproach on addiction).", + "page_start": 3, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "pubmed1.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# Special Issue: Experiencing Well-Being Modeling and controlling the body in maladaptive ways: an ac[...]\n\n### References\n\n3452- 9.\nLaugesen N, Dugas MJ, Bukowski WM.

The degree of predictability of caregivers’ response\nappears to be critical for the development of affect regulation and a cohesive sense of the self ( Ilyka et al. 2021 ). When care-\ngivers’ behavior is less reliable, children have more difficulties in\ndistinguishing their own internal states, making self-other dis- tinctions ( Ogawa et al. 1997 , Dutra et al. 2009 ), and—in the most\nsevere cases—developing an integrated sense of the self ( Liotti\n2004 , 2006 ).\nAs a consequence of these or other deficits in developing\nappropriate models of emotional and self-models, a person might\nexperience significant interoceptive uncertainty and perceive her\nown internal states in confused and uncomfortable ways later\nin life. Suppose that the interoceptive channels are unreliable\nand the internal models rooted in bodily experiences are poor.\nIn that case, a person might construe a sense of personal stabil-\nity through external, non-interoceptive signals, such as feedback\nfrom others and from the world, rather than via interoceptive\nsignals. Engaging in social interactions, in which we experience\naffective states relevant to our self-confirmation (e.g. a sense\nof acceptance and kindness), might be particularly challenging\nfor this person ( Guidano 1987 , Arciero and Bondolfi 2009 ).

She might be unable to reduce this uncer-\ntainty using the other as an external point of reference since\n*Modeling and controlling the body in maladaptive ways* 3\nthe affectivity attributed to the others might also be perceived\nas vague and misinterpreted (e.g. “Is he/she interested in me or\nnot?” “Am I a person worthy of attention and love from oth-\ners?”).

Development theories\nunderscore the role of parental care in shaping the experience of\nself and others and integrative processes of consciousness ( Bowlby 1997 , Liotti 2004 , 2006 , Fonagy et al. 2023 ).\nDuring infancy, a child starts making sense of her internal\nexperiences through the information she gets from the external\nworld, most notably from caregivers whose behavior has a fun-\ndamental regulatory function shaping emotional development,\nstress physiology, and refinement of limbic circuitry ( Gee 2016 ).\nIn addition to the quality of caregivers’ response to the infant’s\nneed for proximity, its “predictability” supports the development\nof emotions’ regulatory capacity ( Gee and Cohodes 2021 ; Wu and\nFeng 2020 ) and a cohesive sense of self ( Arciero and Bondolfi\n2009 ), increases prosociality ( Deneault et al. 2023 ), and influ- ences the development of social brain structure (see Ilyka et al.\n2021 for a review). Self-report assessment of exposure to unpre-\ndictability during early life appears to predict symptoms of anx- iety, depression, and anhedonia in adulthood ( Glynn et al. 2019 ).\nEvidence from cross-species studies indicates that the predictabil-\nity of caregivers’ behavior in rodents may specifically influence\nthe offspring’s development of corticolimbic circuitry involved in\nemotion-related functioning ( Glynn and Baram 2019 ). Rodents\nexposed to unpredictable maternal care exhibit atypical amygdala functioning ( Malter Cohen et al. 2013 ) and weaker connectivity with the medial prefrontal cortex ( Guadagno et al. 2018 ). Abraham et al.

Particularly\ninteresting is what participants perceive as meaningful regarding\nthe intervention, as this is essential for motivation, motor\nlearning and exercise adherence ( 18 ).\nTo deepen our understanding of what the participants\nperceive as meaningful, we turn to a theoretical perspective\nthat integrates bodily capacities with the construction of\nmeaning. Enactive theory emphasizes that making sense of the\nworld depends essentially on the biological (living) body and\nthe phenomenological (lived or experienced) body ( 19 ), which\nimplies that the body is viewed as a neurobiological organism\nthat is concurrently experiencing, expressing and social\n(embodiment) ( 20 ). Thus, what is experienced by an individual\nduring an exercise intervention is constituted by her\nsensorimotor repertoire for perception and action in\ninteractions with the requirements of the task and the context\n( 21 ). From this perspective, dysfunctions related to MS, such as\nsensorimotor impairments, can in fl uence how individuals with\nMS interpret and understand their participation in a PA\nintervention. Moreover, the notion of “ participatory sense-\nmaking ” ( 22 ) extends the body into the social domain,\nenabling an understanding of how the interaction processes\nbetween two embodied individuals affect shared and individual\nmeaning-making. These concepts may illuminate pwMS ’ s\nexperiences and direct the focus toward bodily, contextual, and\ninteractional aspects that may generate new insights regarding\nsensorimotor exercise and high-intensity training as part of PA.\nThe aim of this study was to explore participants ’ experiences\nof the content, delivery and setting of a new outdoor group\nintervention combining high-intensity training and detailed\nexercises to generate new knowledge about important aspects of\nexercise interventions for pwMS with low disability.\n1 GroupCoreDIST is a group-based intervention (Group), involving 35\nexercises at different levels, addressing activation of trunk musculature\n(Core) in motor tasks in lying, sitting and standing (e.g. rolling, reaching,\nsquatting, single leg stance. DIST describes essential elements of the\nconcept: D = dose (high), dual task; I = individualization, insight, intensity;\nS = sensorimotor activation, selective movement control; T = task\noriented training.\nDahl et al.

The first is to realize our\ncorporate vision, ‘ Enriching people’s lives,’ from an\nengineering standpoint. The second is to create a\nfuture vision for people working in R&D. Research and\ndevelopment is all about providing practical value to\nthe customer via technological excellence, which in\nturn creates value for our shareholders. Nissan has\nmade a major commitment to technological excellence\nso that we can accomplish these objectives.\n**Research and Development**\nNissan’s investment in R&D has been rising. In fiscal 2004\nwe devoted approximately ¥400 billion to it, equivalent to\n4.6 percent of our turnover. We estimate that our financial\ncommitment to R&D will continue to range between 4.5\nand 5 percent. R&D investments take a lot of time to pay\noff, of course, so it’s difficult to evaluate our evolution\nover the short term. Given our expanded output, however,\nI believe that we are headed in the right direction.\nFor example, the number of patents we have generated\nis growing quickly, exceeding 4,000 in fiscal 2003—more\nthan twice the fiscal 1999 figure. And the number of\nresearch papers we present at societies such as The Japan\nSociety of Mechanical Engineers rose dramatically in fiscal\n2004. These are direct results of our commitment to\nresearch. We are also generating more new technologies\nrelated to safety and the environment, such as the Around\nView Monitor and the lane-keeping system.\nWe have succeeded in shortening our production\npipeline, too, using a new vehicle development process\ncalled V3P that our engineers devised over the past three\nyears. V3P, which stands for Value-up innovation of\nProduct, Process, and Program, has helped us cut our\ndevelopment time almost in half, from 20 months to just\n10.5 months. I believe this makes Nissan the world\nbenchmark in development. That improvement is having a\nmajor effect on the flexibility and execution of R&D at\nNissan, and will ultimately boost the company’s profitability.\nThe number of new products we have brought to\nmarket over the past three years is equally significant—\nmore than thirty new vehicles.

These additions represent a major investment, and\nshow Nissan’s dedication to maintaining and enhancing its\ntechnological skills.\nOur technology base is in Japan, where we have some\nten thousand people involved in R&D, but we also have two\nmajor centers in North America and Europe, and smaller\noperations in Taiwan, China, Thailand, South Africa and\nBrazil.

We were\nunable to reach the global goals we set because a\ngreat deal of time was spent addressing issues that\narose, particularly in the U.S. The good news is that in\nall our newly launched vehicles, including those from\nthe U.S., we are seeing radically better quality. This is\na direct result of implementing a global quality\nmanagement system. While such positive outcomes\nare welcome, we must continue to upgrade the\nquality of Nissan automobiles.\nTo be frank, the quality programs of the past no longer suit\nour organization. During the NISSAN 180 period, we\nredefined the Nissan Product Quality Policy and\nreorganized its elements. The new Quality Policy sets three\ngoals. First, our product quality must be in the top three\namong automakers. Second, we will establish uniform\nglobal quality standards; this is not a single-fix solution,\nhowever, since each region may have its own requirements.\nAnd third, we will implement and continuously improve\nthe Nissan Quality Assurance Way, a global quality\nassurance system.\nThe Quality Policy is a top-down process, whereas the\nAssurance Way is bottom up. The Assurance Way can be\nsummarized as follows:\nFirst, we will set clear, reasonable, understandable\ntargets for each activity, and review milestones along\nthe way.\nSecond, because problems are usually discovered late\nin the process, we want to front-load the problem-discovery\nprocess by moving it further upstream.

It’s a very\ndiverse composition of small\nand large nations, and many\nlanguages and cultures.\nIn fiscal 2004 we met all\nour targets for sales and\nprofit. Out of Nissan’s total unit sales of\napproximately 3.4 million vehicles, for example, GOM\naccounted for 678,000 units. We contribute to\nNissan’s performance in both volume expansion and\nprofitability. And the operating profit margin for GOM\nis better than the corporate average.\nThe strongest regions in my territory were several African\nnations, such as South Africa, and Latin America. Our\nsuccess was due in part to general market strength, but the\ncontinuing appeal of the Nissan Pickup in South Africa and\nLatin America was also a key. Aside from the Middle East,\nwhere larger vehicles like the Armada are preferred, sales\nfor the Pickup and the X-TRAIL have been consistently\nstrong in all markets. We produce the Pickup in South\nAfrica and currently sell over 40,000 vehicles there every\nyear; our market share is around 9 percent. In addition to\nAfrica, the vehicles produced here will be sold in Europe,\nAustralia and New Zealand starting at the beginning of\n2006. In 2005, in the Middle East, we are already seeing\nsignificant increases in volume due to the launch of Infiniti\nand the introduction of new Nissan models in the latter\nhalf of 2004.\nThere are several risks associated with a diverse\nterritory like ours, including political issues, economic\nissues, and a range of other external factors. At Nissan,\nour policy is to stay flexible and adapt to the situation. For\nexample, we had initially planned to supply Pathfinder\nvehicles to the Middle East from Spain. However, the rise in\nthe euro raised costs, so we quickly shifted production to\nthe U.S. Because our job is so diversified, we felt we\nneeded more strategic thinking within GOM.

That is why we\nremain the most productive manufacturer in the world.\nWe’ve also become much more efficient, as our\nutilization rates show. In Japan, we were operating at\n54 percent of capacity in 1999. In fiscal 2004 that\nfigure increased to 86 percent, which is just about the\nmaximum possible. During NISSAN Value-Up, we will\nincrease our global utilization rate from approximately\n74 percent to over 80 percent. We will not achieve that\ntarget by closing facilities, either. In fact, we’ve opened\nnew plants in the U.S. and China, and increased\ncapacity at our other facilities.\nManufacturing achieved a series of milestones during\nNISSAN 180. One of the biggest was opening the Canton\nplant in the U.S., which got up to speed quickly, launching\nfive new vehicles in a period of just eight months. We built\ntwo plants in China, and restarted operations in Egypt. We\ndramatically expanded the Decherd, Tennessee engine\nplant in the U.S., and all engines for North America are now\nbuilt at Decherd or at our plant in Mexico.\nWe also commenced cross-production with Renault:\nNissan began building Renault’s Platina in Mexico and its\nTraffic in Spain, while Renault began building our Pickup\nand Xterra at its factory in Brazil. We also started\nproduction of common engines with Renault, with our\nsubsidiary Aichi Kikai and the Yokohama plant producing\nthe four-cylinder engines used in our new Tiida, Note and\nLafesta models. In Japan, we launched six new models in\njust six months—the Murano, Fuga, Lafesta, Tiida, Tiida\nLatio and Note. We also launched three vehicles—the Tiida,\nTeana and Tiida Latio—in China.\nWhile we were successful in Japan and China, we did\nhave quality issues at the Canton facility.

Using NIMS, for example,\nwe can produce eight models on a single line. During\nNISSAN 180, we introduced 16 NIMS lines worldwide into\nour 18 total major lines. For NISSAN Value-Up, we will\nincrease this to 22 NIMS lines.\nWe will need that flexibility during NISSAN Value-Up,\nbecause twice a month we will be launching new cars\nsomewhere—a total of 70 production starts. We cannot do\nthis with our old system. The launch stage can be a difficult\nperiod, and too often problems arise that can cause panic\non the line. To cope with these problems, we’ve devised\nwhat we call the Global Launching Expert system. The\nlaunch expert can stand back and analyze the situation and\ncome up with solutions. We are now identifying, educating\nand dispatching launch experts from around the world. In\n2006, we will further refine our launch procedures by\nopening the Global Production Engineering Center.\nCurrently, if we produce the same car in several markets,\nthe launches are separate activities. In the future, we will\n‘bundle’ all launches by developing the launch process and\ncreating the dies in Japan. This bundle will then be\nreproduced and forwarded to the various factories\nproducing the car.\nWe have established four key factors for success\nduring NISSAN Value-Up: quality, timely delivery, cost, and\nthe environment. Regarding the environment, we have\nidentified three environmental issues, which are CO 2 ,\nrecycling, and emissions such as chemical emissions and\nvolatile organic compounds.

This shift in industry strategy has now come in line with our general business\nphilosophy — in the resource space, low-cost, low debt businesses will survive and thrive\nacross cycles; and, relative to our US onshore peer group, Sundance boasts a top 15%\ncost structure and balance sheet.\nOur position as a cost and balance sheet leader is underpinned by two key philosophies:\n1) investment in a leading technical team that is encouraged to take reasonable risks to\nimprove recoveries and/or reduce costs, and 2) a ruthless focus on portfolio returns as\ndemonstrated by our consistent track record of divesting assets that don’t fit our strategic\nobjectives or promise lower forward return profiles.\nOur high quality Eagle Ford acreage produces strong recoveries at reasonable costs and\nthus generates good returns, even in a low price environment. Because of these character-\nistics, the majority of our forward capital is expected to be invested generating strong\ngrowth and shareholder returns in the Eagle Ford.\nWith mixed appraisal results in the Woodford, Sundance’s Mississippian/Woodford\nposition generally requires higher prices to meet our hurdle rates.

In line with our strategy, Sundance had monetized several mature assets realizing\n~$50 million in current period gains while freeing up\n~$165 million in invested capital.\nWe primarily reinvested this capital in production growth\nand cash flow with only about $75 million reinvested in\nacquiring oil and gas leases and producing properties.

High\nvalue oil comprised approximately 69 percent of our total 2014 annual production\nand production from Sundance-operated projects accounted for 89 percent of total\nproduction for the year.\nCorresponding with the growth in annual production, the Company’s full year revenues\nincreased to $159.8 million and Adjusted EBITDAX increased to $126.4 million.\nThe Company’s development program also generated significant growth in Constant Case\nreserves during the year. More details are contained elsewhere in this Annual Report,\nbut in summary our 1P Reserves at the end of 2014 were 26.0 MBOE, 2P Reserves 54.1\nMBOE, and 3P Reserves 147.7 MBOE. This compares with Reserves of 20.7 MBOE, 34.6\nMBOE, and 92.8 MBOE, respectively, at the end of 2013.\nIn the current price environment, we have elected to scale back our drilling program to\nmainly concentrate on limited drilling obligations to hold Eagle Ford acreage.

Because of these character-\nistics, the majority of our forward capital is expected to be invested generating strong\ngrowth and shareholder returns in the Eagle Ford.\nWith mixed appraisal results in the Woodford, Sundance’s Mississippian/Woodford\nposition generally requires higher prices to meet our hurdle rates.

These divestitures\nof smaller, less scalable positions enabled us to focus on developing and growing our\nassets in the Eagle Ford in Texas and our Mississippian/Woodford assets in Oklahoma.\nDespite the reduction in crude oil and liquids prices towards the end of the year\nand continuing into 2015, the operational performance and focused, value-adding\ntransactions during the past year have positioned the Company very favourably for\nfuture growth in net asset value and shareholder returns.\n####### **A year of growing production, cash flow and reserves**\nIn line with our strategy we continued to increase the level of company operated assets,\nand successfully maintained a very strong focus on optimising our operations and reducing\ncosts. This resulted in an impressive improvement in well performance combined with a\ntop tier cost structure.\nThrough our operated development program, we ended 2014 with record production\nof 9,434 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD) compared with an exit rate of 5,028\nBOEPD in December 2013 and an average annual production of 6,635 BOEPD compared", + "page_start": 2, + "page_end": 3, + "source_file": "ASX_SEA_2014.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#14.

Direct connection between the Storwize V7000\nand the storage controller is not supported.\n� Enhanced Stretched Cluster configurations have additional requirements and\nconfiguration guidelines. For more information about performance and preferred practices\nfor the Storwize V7000, see *IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller and Storwize*\n*V7000 Best Practices and Performance Guidelines* , SG24-7521.\nIf your back-end storage system does not support the Storwize V7000 round-robin algorithm,\nensure that the number of MDisks per storage pool is a multiple of the number of storage\nports that are available. This approach ensures sufficient bandwidth for the storage controller,\nand an even balance across storage controller ports.\nIn general, configure disk subsystems as though Storwize V7000 was not used. However,\nthere might be specific requirements or limitations as to the features usable in the specific\nback-end storage system when it is attached to Storwize V7000. Review the appropriate\nsection of documentation to verify that your back-end storage is supported and to check for\nany special requirements at [this website](https://ibm.biz/Bdjm8H) .\nObserve the following general rules:\n� Disk drives\nExercise caution with the use of large hard disk drives so that you do not have too few\nspindles to handle the load.\n� Array sizes:\n- Storwize V7000 does not queue more than 60 I/O operations per MDisk.

However, when used improperly, it might lead to unencrypted\ndata at-rest.\nTo declare an MDisk as self-encrypting, select **Externally encrypted** when adding external\nstorage in the **Assign Storage** view, as shown in Figure 12-77.\n*Figure 12-77 Declaring MDisk as externally encrypted*\nIBM Spectrum Virtualize products can detect that an MDisk is self-encrypting by using the\nSCSI Inquiry page C2. MDisks that are provided by other IBM Spectrum Virtualize products\nreport this page correctly. For these MDisks, the **Externally encrypted** option that is shown in\nFigure 12-77 is not selected. However, when added, they are still considered as\nself-encrypting.\n**Note:** You can override the external encryption setting of a detected MDisk as\nself-encrypting and configure it as unencrypted by using the CLI command **chmdisk**\n**-encrypt no** . However, only do so if you plan to decrypt the data on the backend or if the\nbackend uses inadequate data encryption.\nChapter 12. Encryption\nTo check whether an MDisk was detected or declared as self-encrypting, click **Pools** →\n**MDisk by Pools** and verify the information in the Encryption column, as shown in\nFigure 12-78.\n*Figure 12-78 MDisk self-encryption state*\nThe value that is shown in the Encryption column shows the property of objects in respective\nrows. That means that in the configuration that is shown in Figure 12-78, Pool1 is encrypted,\nso every volume created from this pool is encrypted. However, that pool is formed by two\nMDisks, out of which one is self-encrypting and one is not. Therefore, a value of No next to\nmdisk2 does not imply that encryption of Pool1 is in any way compromised. It only indicates\nthat encryption of the data placed on mdisk2 is done by using software encryption. Data that\nis placed on mdisk1 is encrypted by the back-end storage that is providing these MDisks.", + "page_start": 682, + "page_end": 684, + "source_file": "sg247938.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#AdditionalData(0->63)=00000000210000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\n\n## Chapter 12. Encryption\n\n### **12.8 Using encryption**\n\n#### **12.8.4 Encrypted MDisks**\n\nFor more information about how to add external storage to a pool, see Chapter 6, “Storage\npools” on page 191. Each MDisk that belongs to external storage that is added to an\nencrypted pool or child pool is automatically encrypted by using the pool or child pool key,\nunless the MDisk is detected or declared as self-encrypting.\nThe user interface gives no method to see which extents contain encrypted data and which\ndo not. However, if a volume is created in a correctly configured encrypted pool, all data that\nis written to this volume is encrypted.\nChapter 12. Encryption\nYou can use the MDisk by Pools view to show the object encryption state by clicking **Pools** →\n**MDisk by Pools** . Figure 12-76 shows an example in which self-encrypting MDisk is in an\nunencrypted pool.\n*Figure 12-76 MDisk encryption state*\nWhen working with MDisks encryption, take extra care when configuring MDisks and pools.\nIf the MDisk was earlier used for storage of unencrypted data, the extents can contain stale\nunencrypted data. This issue occurs because file deletion only marks disk space as free. The\ndata is *not* removed from the storage. Therefore, if the MDisk is not self-encrypting and was a\npart of an unencrypted pool, and later was moved to an encrypted pool, it contains stale data\nfrom its previous life.\nAnother mistake that can occur is to misconfigure an external MDisk as self-encrypting, while\nin reality it is not self-encrypting. In that case, the data written to this MDisk is not encrypted\nby Storwize V7000 because Storwize V7000 is convinced that the MDisk encrypts the data.\nAt the same time, the MDisk does not encrypt the data because it is not self-encrypting, so\nyou end up with unencrypted data on an extent in an encrypted pool.\nHowever, all data that is written to any MDisk that is a part of correctly configured encrypted\npool is going to be encrypted.\n**Self-encrypting MDisks**\nWhen adding external storage to a pool, be exceptionally diligent when declaring the MDisk", + "page_start": 681, + "page_end": 682, + "source_file": "sg247938.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#\n\n#### **11.4.2 System log exit for z/OS**\n\n* Return codes: * 00360000\n* * 00370000\n* NORMAL: R15 = return code from WTO * 00380000\n* * 00390000\n* Exits: Return to caller via BR 14 * 00400000\n* * 00410000\n* External References: * 00420000\n* * 00430000\n* Change Activity: See below * 00440000\n* * 00450000\n* Ver Rel Mod Date Description of Change * 00460000\n* ___________ ________ _______________________________________ * 00470000\n* 0? 0? 00 04/05/00 Release ?.? * 00480000\n* * 00490000\nEND OF MODULE SPECIFICATIONS *** 00500000\nARSLOG csect 00510000\nARSLOG rmode any 00520000\nARSLOG amode 31 00530000\nusing *,r15 00540000\nb pastcopy 00550000\ndc C'ARSLOG &sysdate' 00560000\ndc C'5622-662 (C) COPYRIGHT IBM CORP. 2013' 00570000\ndc C'ALL RIGHTS RESERVED' 00580000\ndc C'LICENSED MATERIALS-PROPERTY OF IBM' 00590000\npastcopy ds 0h 00600000\nstm 14,12,12(r13) 00610001\nlr r12,r15 00620000\nlr r2,r1 00630000\nusing plist,r2 00640000\ndrop r15 00650000\nusing ARSLOG,r12 00660000\nstorage OBTAIN,length=workl,loc=ANY,cond=YES 00670000\nltr r15,r15 00680000\njnz bagit 00690000\nst r13,4(,r1) 00700000\nst r1,8(,r13) 00710000\nlr r13,r1 00720000\nusing workarea,r13 00730000\n* 00740000\n* Determine the message length 00750005\n* 00760000\nslr r1,r1 Number of bytes 00770005\nl r15,msgtxta get starting address 00780005\nnulloop ds 0h 00790006\ncli 0(r15),x'00' Is it zero? 00800005\nje nomore Yes - quit 00810005\nla r1,1(,r1) Bump count 00820005\nla r15,1(,r15) bump address 00830005\nj nulloop And try next 00840005\nnomore ds 0h 00850005\nlr r3,r1 Save length of message 00860005\nmvc msgtxt+2(3),=c'XXX' Set the prefix 00870007\nla r14,msgtxt+5 Start to place number 00880005\nl r15,msgnum Get start of message number 00890005\nnumloop ds 0h 00900005\ncli 0(r15),x'00' Null? 00910005\nje nomove 00920005\nmvc 0(0,r14),0(15) move it 00930005\nla r14,1(,r14) next destination 00940005\nla r15,1(,r15) next source 00950005\nj numloop go do next 00960005\nnomove ds 0h 00970005\nl r15,sev Get severity 00980005\ncli 0(r15),c'1' Is it Alert 00990005\njne tryerror No skip 01000005\nmvi 0(r14),c'E' Set error severity 01010006\nj donesev 01020005\ntryerror ds 0h 01030005\ncli 0(r15),c'2' \"Error\" severity? 01040005\njne trywarn No - skip 01050005\nmvi 0(r14),c'E' Set error 01060005\nj donesev 01070006\ntrywarn ds 0h 01080005\ncli 0(r15),c'3' Is it Warning 01090006\njne setinfo 01100005\nmvi 0(r14),C'W' Set Warning 01110005\nj donesev 01120005\nsetinfo ds 0h 01130005\nmvi 0(r14),c'I' Indicate info 01140005\ndonesev ds 0h 01150005", + "page_start": 278, + "page_end": 279, + "source_file": "sg246915.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "#AdditionalData(0->63)=00000000210000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\n\n## Chapter 6.

Some actions are\nsupported only on unmanaged external MDisks, and some are supported only on managed\nexternal MDisks.\n**Note:** If the external storage LUs to virtualize behind the Storwize V7000 contain data and\nthis data needs to be retained, do not use the “Assign to pool” option to manage the\nMDisks. This option destroys the data on the LU. Instead, use the Import option. For more\ninformation, see Chapter 9, “Storage migration” on page 385.\nTo choose an action, select the external MDisk in **Pools** → **External Storage** or **Pools** →\n**MDisks by Pools,** and click **Actions** , as shown in Figure 6-55. Alternatively, right-click the\nexternal MDisk.\n*Figure 6-55 Actions on MDisks*\n**Discover Storage**\nThis option is available even if no MDisks are selected. By running it, you cause the system to\nrescan the iSCSI and FC network for these purposes:\n� Find any new managed disks (MDisks) that might have been added.\n� Rebalance MDisk access across all available controller device ports.\nThis action executes the CLI command **[detectmdisk](https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ST3FR7_8.2.0/com.ibm.storwize.v7000.820.doc/svc_requestdiscovery_21ifux.html?sc=ST3FR7_latest)** .\n**Assign**\nThis action is available only for unmanaged MDisks. Select **Assign** to open the dialog box\nthat is explained in “Assigning MDisks to pools” on page 232.\n**Modify tier**\nSelect **Modify Tier** to modify the tier to which the external MDisk is assigned, as shown in\nFigure 6-56.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we believe that reduced financial leverage and an invest­\nment grade rating will lead to a higher stock price and provide further interest from worldwide equity investors.\nJeff Fisher\nSenior Vice President - Production\nNick Dell’Osso\nExecutive Vice President\nand Chief Financial Officer\nJeff Mobley\nSenior Vice President -\nInvestor Relations and Research\n2010 ANNUAL REPORT | **21**\nThrough volunteer programs and responsible operations, we strive to be the best neighbor\npossible in every one of our operating areas by investing in our communities.", + "page_start": 22, + "page_end": 23, + "source_file": "NYSE_CHK_2010.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# 2010: A YEAR \n OF TRANSITION \n AND ACHIEVEMENT\n\n## **6**\n\nfracture stimulation designs for liquids-rich plays that allow the company to achieve a greater stimulated rock volume\nin low permeability reservoirs.

How is Chesapeake addressing this?**\nIt is no secret that there is a shortage of experienced professionals in the natural gas and oil industry. The industry down­\nturn of the 1980s and 1990s discouraged many from pursuing energy careers. In the following decades, strong compe­\ntition from other industries lured away many of the best and brightest science and technology graduates, and today\nmany experienced professionals who stayed in the industry through the downturn are approaching retirement age.\nAs a result, one of our industry’s greatest challenges over the past 10 years has been to develop a new generation\nof natural gas and oil professionals who have the knowledge and experience required to meet the nation’s growing\nenergy needs.\nIn 2000 Chesapeake was one of the first companies to recognize this trend and to understand how recruiting\nand training a new generation of energy professionals would impact the company’s future success and its ability to\ncompete in the industry. At that time, Chesapeake formulated a business strategy to address future staffing needs\nand decided to create a world-class college recruiting and intern program to recruit the most promising industry\ntalent. Today, Chesapeake hosts more than 150 interns every summer in its internship program, many of whom go\non to become full-time Chesapeake employees upon graduation. In addition, we have 350 students who receive\nscholarships through Chesapeake programs, and our staff of college recruiters has developed strong relationships with professors, department heads\nand career counselors at the more than 31 universities where we actively recruit.\nAs a result of these efforts, young professionals in a wide range of disciplines, from scientists and engineers to land management and legal", + "page_start": 21, + "page_end": 21, + "source_file": "NYSE_CHK_2010.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# 2010: A YEAR \n OF TRANSITION \n AND ACHIEVEMENT\n\n## 2010: A YEAR OF TRANSITION AND ACHIEVEMENT\n\n#### the most active driller of new wells in the U.S.\n\nHeadquartered in Oklahoma City, the company’s operations are focused on discovering and developing\nunconventional natural gas and oil fields onshore in the U.S. Chesapeake owns leading positions in\nthe Barnett, Haynesville, Bossier, Marcellus and Pearsall natural gas shale plays and in the Granite\nWash, Cleveland, Tonkawa, Mississippian, Bone Spring, Avalon, Wolfcamp, Wolfberry, Eagle Ford,\nNiobrara and Utica unconventional liquids-rich plays.\nThe company has also vertically integrated its oper-\nations and owns substantial midstream, compression,\ndrilling and oilfield service assets.

We urge\nyou to carefully review and consider the disclo­\nsures made in this report and our other filings\nwith the Securities and Exchange Commission\n(SEC) regarding the risks and factors that may\naffect our business.\nThe SEC requires natural gas and oil companies, in\nfilings made with the SEC, to disclose proved re-\nserves and permits the optional disclosure of\nprobable and possible reserves. While Chesapeake\nhas elected not to report probable and possible\nreserves in its filings with the SEC, we have pro-\nvided estimates in this report of what we consider\nto be our “total resource base.” This term includes\nour estimated proved reserves as well as “risked\nand unrisked unproved resources,” which repre­\nsent Chesapeake’s internal estimates of volumes of\nnatural gas and oil that are not classified as proved\nreserves but are potentially recoverable through\nexploratory drilling or additional drilling or recovery\ntechniques. Our estimates of unproved resources\nare not intended to correspond to probable and\npossible reserves, as defined by SEC regulations,\nand are by their nature more speculative than\nestimates of proved reserves and accordingly are\nsubject to substantially greater risk of being ac­\ntually realized by the company.\n**CORPORATE INFORMATION**\nWWW.CHK.COM\n**6100 NORTH WESTERN AVENUE**\n**OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73118**\n**WWW.CHK.COM**", + "page_start": 46, + "page_end": 47, + "source_file": "NYSE_CHK_2010.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# 2010: A YEAR \n OF TRANSITION \n AND ACHIEVEMENT\n\n## **6**\n\nnatural gas refineries that supplement the U.S. liquid fuel supply stream, we believe that the marketplace will increasingly utilize and embrace natural\ngas.

First, a higher rating would obviously lower the company’s\nborrowing costs over time. In addition, other less easily quantifiable benefits will also accrue to Chesapeake.\nHigher debt ratings would result in lower costs on long-term firm transportation contracts that we enter into in\norder to market our natural gas and oil production as well as facilitate our ability to enter into long-term contracts\nto sell our natural gas production to international buyers in the form of LNG. An improved rating will also enhance\nChesapeake’s ability to further attract world-class energy companies to participate in our joint venture projects,\nwhich profitably monetize a portion of our leasehold investments and also accelerate the development of our\nresource base. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we believe that reduced financial leverage and an invest­\nment grade rating will lead to a higher stock price and provide further interest from worldwide equity investors.\nJeff Fisher\nSenior Vice President - Production\nNick Dell’Osso\nExecutive Vice President\nand Chief Financial Officer\nJeff Mobley\nSenior Vice President -\nInvestor Relations and Research\n2010 ANNUAL REPORT | **21**\nThrough volunteer programs and responsible operations, we strive to be the best neighbor\npossible in every one of our operating areas by investing in our communities.", + "page_start": 22, + "page_end": 23, + "source_file": "NYSE_CHK_2010.pdf" + }, + { + "text": "# 2010: A YEAR \n OF TRANSITION \n AND ACHIEVEMENT\n\n## **6**\n\n### CHESAPEAKE’S COMMITMENT TO BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR »\n\n##### INVESTING IN OUR WORLD AND OUR PEOPLE »\n\nManagement Practices (BMPs) to help ensure energy development is con­\nducted in an environmentally responsible manner. Procedures are imple­\nmented throughout our operations to protect freshwater aquifers and\nreduce environmental impacts. BMPs protect wildlife, air quality, water and\nlandscapes as we work to develop vitally needed domestic energy sources.\nImplemented throughout the entire life cycle of a well, BMPs can be\nas simple as strategically placing a berm, or land barrier, on locations\nto control surface water runoff. Others involve cutting-edge operational\ntechnologies such as utilizing the most advanced techniques offered in\ndrilling fluids, well casing and cement design. Regardless of complex­\nity, all BMPs are based on the idea that the environmental footprint of\nenergy development should be as small and temporary as possible.\nThese practices are continually evolving and further improving as\nChesapeake and the industry develop new innovative techniques and\napproaches to business.\nIn addition to our BMPs, Chesapeake has also initiated several\ninnovative internal programs focused on water recycling and greener\nhydraulic fracturing processes.\n* **Aqua Renew** * **®**\nCreated to meet the challenge of reducing our water usage, Chesapeake’s\n*Aqua Renew* ® program uses state-of-the-art technology to recycle pro­\nduced water.

We now have gathered enough of these four inputs so that our\nfactories can run in harvest mode for decades to come, which hopefully\ncan lead to a $100 stock price by year-end 2015.

What is\nclear now, however, is that we have created a tremen­\ndous storehouse of value and an abundance of oppor­\ntunities for bountiful harvests for years to come for our\nshareholders.\nGiven the importance of these 16 unconventional\nplays, I have provided below a brief summary of our posi­\ntion in each of them:\nBarnett Shale — Discovered in the 1990s, the Barnett is the\ngranddaddy of all U.S. shale plays.
