This study aims to analyze the potential aplication of of palm oil-based foaming agent as peat fires fighter in Indonesia. From literature review, it has been known that the foaming agent able to form foam to extinguish fire, wrap and refrigerate the burning peat. It is necessary to develop the production and application of foaming agent in Indonesia because peat fires occur almost every year that caused smoke haze. Potential raw material for the production of environmental friendly foaming agent as foam extinguishing for peat fires in Indonesia aong other is palm oil due to abundant availability, sustainable, and foam product easily degraded in the environment of the burnt areas. Production of foaming agent as fire-fighting in Indonesia is one alternative to reduce the time to control the fire and smog disaster impact. Application of palm oil as a raw material for fire-fighting is contribute to increase the value added and the development of palm oil downstream industry.

In this paper, we develop a multi-stage decision model to quantify the economic value of near-Earth asteroid (NEA) detection systems. Specifically, we develop a two-stage decision-analytic model focusing on whether or not to invest in a detection system and if a NEA is detected whether and how to respond. Our model incorporates uncertainties related to detection rate, asteroid size, and damage potential. Further we model downstream decisions and associated uncertainties related to mitigation measures including evacuation and deflection or destruction of the NEA. This modeling framework allows us to quantify the value of the detection system (i.e., the value of information). We specify this value at the global level and also on a country-by-country basis. This analysis provides insights and recommendations to policy makers as they consider how much to spend on NEA detection and mitigation measures.

Hoshin Kanri is a model for strategy management that was conceived in Japan and is usually applied in the context of Total Quality Management (TQM) and lean implementations. This model is recognized for its strength to build the link between business strategy and business execution. The limited universe of empirical research about Hoshin Kanri, in addition to the resurgence of interest in it amongst western managers, who may face cultural challenges in Hoshin Kanri implementation, leads to the necessity of systematizing a set of universally applicable guiding principles for Hoshin Kanri initiatives. An initial model for guidelines was developed in a previous work through a systematic literature review supported by content analysis techniques. However, in order to develop guidelines that are as relevant as possible for the context of companies, the model must be refined through an empirical approach that takes into account practical experiences from different experts. This work fulfills this through a systematic approach by applying expert interviews for the successive refinement of the guidelines model. The results comprise the refined and confirmed model of guidelines regarding the process and the context of Hoshin Kanri and the discussion about conceptual foundations of the model.

We present the first results from an all-sky all-frequency (ASAF) search for an anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using the data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. Upper limit maps on broadband anisotropies of a persistent stochastic background were published for all observing runs of the LIGO-Virgo detectors. However, a broadband analysis is likely to miss narrowband signals as the signal-to-noise ratio of a narrowband signal can be significantly reduced when combined with detector output from other frequencies. Data folding and the computationally efficient analysis pipeline, PyStoch, enable us to perform the radiometer map-making at every frequency bin. We perform the search at 3072 HEALPix equal area pixels uniformly tiling the sky and in every frequency bin of width 1/32 Hz in the range 20–1726 Hz, except for bins that are likely to contain instrumental artefacts and hence are notched. We do not find any statistically significant evidence for the existence of narrowband gravitational-wave signals in the analyzed frequency bins. Therefore, we place 95% confidence upper limits on the gravitational-wave strain for each pixel-frequency pair, the limits are in the range (0.030−9.6)×10−24. In addition, we outline a method to identify candidate pixel-frequency pairs that could be followed up by a more sensitive (and potentially computationally expensive) search, e.g., a matched-filtering-based analysis, to look for fainter nearly monochromatic coherent signals. The ASAF analysis is inherently independent of models describing any spectral or spatial distribution of power. We demonstrate that the ASAF results can be appropriately combined over frequencies and sky directions to successfully recover the broadband directional and isotropic results.

Forecasting has always been at the forefront of decision making and planning. The uncertainty that surrounds the future is both exciting and challenging, with individuals and organisations seeking to minimise risks and maximise utilities. The large number of forecasting applications calls for a diverse set of forecasting methods to tackle real-life challenges. This article provides a non-systematic review of the theory and the practice of forecasting. We provide an overview of a wide range of theoretical, state-of-the-art models, methods, principles, and approaches to prepare, produce, organise, and evaluate forecasts. We then demonstrate how such theoretical concepts are applied in a variety of real-life contexts. We do not claim that this review is an exhaustive list of methods and applications. However, we wish that our encyclopedic presentation will offer a point of reference for the rich work that has been undertaken over the last decades, with some key insights for the future of forecasting theory and practice. Given its encyclopedic nature, the intended mode of reading is non-linear. We offer cross-references to allow the readers to navigate through the various topics. We complement the theoretical concepts and applications covered by large lists of free or open-source software implementations and publicly-available databases. © 2020, CC BY.

Results are presented of searches for continuous gravitational waves from 20 accreting millisecond x-ray pulsars with accurately measured spin frequencies and orbital parameters, using data from the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. The search algorithm uses a hidden Markov model, where the transition probabilities allow the frequency to wander according to an unbiased random walk, while the J-statistic maximum-likelihood matched filter tracks the binary orbital phase. Three narrow subbands are searched for each target, centered on harmonics of the measured spin frequency. The search yields 16 candidates, consistent with a false alarm probability of 30% per subband and target searched. These candidates, along with one candidate from an additional target-of-opportunity search done for SAX J1808.4−3658, which was in outburst during one month of the observing run, cannot be confidently associated with a known noise source. Additional follow-up does not provide convincing evidence that any are a true astrophysical signal. When all candidates are assumed nonastrophysical, upper limits are set on the maximum wave strain detectable at 95% confidence, h095%. The strictest constraint is h095%=4.7×10−26 from IGR J17062−6143. Constraints on the detectable wave strain from each target lead to constraints on neutron star ellipticity and r-mode amplitude, the strictest of which are ε95%=3.1×10−7 and α95%=1.8×10−5 respectively. This analysis is the most comprehensive and sensitive search of continuous gravitational waves from accreting millisecond x-ray pulsars to date.

We present a search for dark photon dark matter that could couple to gravitational-wave interferometers using data from Advanced LIGO and Virgo’s third observing run. To perform this analysis, we use two methods, one based on cross-correlation of the strain channels in the two nearly aligned LIGO detectors, and one that looks for excess power in the strain channels of the LIGO and Virgo detectors. The excess power method optimizes the Fourier transform coherence time as a function of frequency, to account for the expected signal width due to Doppler modulations. We do not find any evidence of dark photon dark matter with a mass between mA∼10−14–10−11 eV/c2, which corresponds to frequencies between 10–2000 Hz, and therefore provide upper limits on the square of the minimum coupling of dark photons to baryons, i.e., U(1)B dark matter. For the cross-correlation method, the best median constraint on the squared coupling is ∼1.31×10−47 at mA∼4.2×10−13 eV/c2; for the other analysis, the best constraint is ∼2.4×10−47 at mA∼5.7×10−13 eV/c2. These limits improve upon those obtained in direct dark matter detection experiments by a factor of ∼100 for mA∼[2–4]×10−13 eV/c2, and are, in absolute terms, the most stringent constraint so far in a large mass range mA∼2×10−13–8×10−12 eV/c2.

Organizations have been striving to demonstrate to society their political of good social and environmental practices. Thus, socially responsible investments have been increasingly significantly, one of the reasons for increasing creation of indexes of corporate sustainability. Many studies have been done about the ISE - Corporate Sustainability Index - of BM&FBovespa, verifying if the portfolio composed of sustainable companies brings higher return to shareholders than other portfolios of regular companies. However, most of these researches focus on the stock value and there are few studies that give focus on fundamental analysis. The main purpose of this paper is to compare fundamentalist profitability indicators among a group of companies that compose the ISE index and a reference group, verifying if sustainable management improves business profitability and how it creates value for shareholders. The groups were compared and the evidences found show that despite the ISE have a differentiated theoretical portfolio, focused on social, environmental and ethical issues, the profitability of companies that compose the index is similar to or lower than the profitability of companies of the reference group. Nevertheless, the results show that the ISE Group has other ways to create shareholder value, as lower volatility and lower risk exposure.

In this paper, we present a wearable microsystem for minimally invasive, autonomous and pseudo-continuous blood glucose monitoring that addresses growing demand for replacing tedious fingerpricking tests for diabetic patients. Unlike the prevalent solutions that estimate blood glucose levels from interstitial fluids or tears, our approach uses a novel wearable microsystem design to extract a whole blood sample from a small lanced s in wound and to directly measure the blood glucose level from it. Both in-vitro and in-vivo testing results illustrate the method.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease and leads to many inflammations. Cause of this disease is autoreactive T cells invade the blood-brain-barrier and attack the myelin sheath. Because MS infringes upon young human and has gradual loss of bodily functions, the disease has a burden on society and economy. Traditional treatment is to use immune-suppressant, but it has many side effects. Currently, the most effective treatment of MS is to use Natalizumab. Target molecule of this agent is α4-integrin of T cells. The mechanism is to prevent invasion of activated lymphocytes across the blood-brain-barrier. However, this agent affects the overall immune response and easily generates side effects of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Transwall systems are often used to investigate cell invasion, but there is no specific protein immobilizing on the isolation membrane of these systems. In this work, we have successfully developed a bionic invasion membrane for the study of MS. Different chemokines were applied to the system for the demonstration of drug screening application. The bionic invasion membrane was a PP/PTEE membrane coated with VCAM-1 protein. Jurkat T cell was used to evaluate the feasibility of using the membrane for the study of MS. Results indicated that the invasion ability of T cells was reduced by VCAM-1 protein. The current work provides bionic invasion membrane for the study of MS in vitro.
