Q: Capture hypertext value in gnuplot 5 I do love the new hypertext feature in gnuplot 5; but I am still missing something: I would like not just to hover near a point to read some hidden text, but I also would like to be able to capture the hypertext.
If this hypertext were a mouse variable (just like MOUSE_X and MOUSE_Y), capturing  it would be an easy task; however this seems not to be the case.
Has anybody a workaround to accomplish this task?

A: In this respect it might be interesting, that in the newest version (-rc1) a single left-click shall copy the hypertext into clipboard, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/61924355/11769765.
For older versions like gnuplot 5.2, the following code is a (not very efficient) work-around to
grab the closest data point:
set print $Data
do for [x=-5:5] {
    print x, x**2
}
unset print

set table $Text
    plot $Data us (sprintf("x=%g, y=%g",$1,$2)) w table
unset table

array snappoint[1]

set macro
myplot = 'plot $Data u 1:2:($Text[$0+1]) w labels hypertext point pt 7 lc 1 title "f(x)"'

bind Button1 'mx=MOUSE_X; my=MOUSE_Y; i=1;\
    set table $distance; \
        plot $Data u (d=sqrt(($1-mx)**2+($2-my)**2), di=$0==0?(xi=$1,yi=$2,d):\
                     (d<di?(i=int($0+1),xi=$1,yi=$2,d):di), d) w table;\
    unset table;\
    print i," ", $Text[i];\
    @myplot, snappoint us (xi):(yi) pt 6 ps 2 lc 3 t $Text[i]'

@myplot

A left click marks the closest point and prints e.g. 3  x=-3, y=9 to the console.

For simplicity, the distance is computed here only with axis coordinates, while screen coordinates would be better. The transformation could be done with variables GPVAL_X_MIN, etc.

i rebooted ye olde blog three years ago, after deciding to wipe it clean and start fresh. the few hundred posts over the previous years seemed scattered and disoriented, much like i was. and still can be from time to time. i'm ok with that.
now, nearly 400 posts later, a mix of proper randomness has amassed. poetry, wordplay, some science-fiction scenes? but, mostly, the observational, spiritual, life-chronicling and consciousness-exploring writings and musings — a living journal of sorts — that have become my regular style.
retrospection and introspection are powerful teachers, but learning and wisdom comes through application, with dedication, and focus.
i am grateful for the readers who have followed along, chimed in from time to time, and allowed me the arena to share the eclectic and interestingness of life. i am grateful for the teachers, catalysts, wayshowers and idea-inspiring souls who have come across my path — in real life, and online.
i am encouraged by the growing community of authentic and raw content creators emerging. you create an expanding safe space for all of us to delve into the world of who we really are, warts and all.
i love it, and i hate it, and all the colors in between.
write what you know, get to know who you are, and be the real you.

How to ensure your SaaS solutions are secure
Eric Kaasenbrood
KEYWORDS cyber security / information security / risk management / software security
In the traditional IT environment, data and applications were housed in on-premises datacenters, and IT system administrators were also company employees. But the shift toward subscription-based services under a SaaS model has been underway for years. Several years ago, a Gartner researcher predicted that by 2020, all new market entrants and 80% of legacy providers would offer products on a SaaS basis.
Customer enthusiasm for SaaS is high because it reduces or eliminates in-house maintenance costs. The pandemic underscored another benefit: business continuity. TechCrunch reported that sales have soared at SaaS companies during the COVID-19 crisis. Revenue at Zoom increased by nearly 170% year-over-year as people used the platform to replicate in-person meetings and training sessions.
But at many businesses, the company security posture hasn't kept pace with the volume of data flowing to and from multiple SaaS vendors. It's an urgent issue in an environment where endpoints are proliferating and hacking techniques are getting more sophisticated. That's why it's never been more urgent to upgrade the security posture and reduce the risks associated with SaaS solutions.
Starting with the security architecture
The adoption of SaaS also requires rethinking your overall Security Architecture. Many cloud providers support whitelisting solutions to enable their customers' employees to access the SaaS solution via their office network (to enforce security measures). But it's increasingly common for employees to bypass the office network and use direct connections to the cloud solutions they use. They may not log into to the office network at all, so IT has to ensure that endpoints are secure even when they're not connected to the network.
Cloud native solutions can help enforce critical controls like patch management, configuration management and endpoint protection also when end-user devices are not linked to the office network. Furthermore, the architecture should also consider a strategy for BYOD security. A modern security architecture should include cloud-based identity and access management solutions like multifactor authentication and federation with your SaaS applications. Also review the requirements to integrate logs with your SIEM solution and the use of Cloud Access Security Brokers. A strong architectural setup can help to enforce security policies while meeting business requirements.
Meeting governance needs in a SaaS environment
Businesses and individuals can activate SaaS applications with a single click, which presents the "Shadow IT" challenge: the application may not have been reviewed or vetted internally to ensure it conforms with company policies. There are many risks associated with unvetted SaaS solutions, including data ownership, information security risks and potential regulatory compliance issues.
A proactive governance approach requires a defined process that ensures visibility and directly addresses risks to keep exposure within acceptable levels. A multidisciplinary strategy that includes people with expertise in the business, IT architecture, procurement, legal, privacy and IT risk/security is the best way to ensure sound governance.
One of the first steps is to classify data in terms of confidentiality, integrity and availability. To find the right balance between costs and security; measures should reflect the criticality of the data being protected.
Additionally, it's important to understand that cloud and SaaS providers have a shared responsibility to keep data safe and to understand exactly what the company will manage vs. what the SaaS vendor will oversee. To make sure nothing falls through the cracks, typically SaaS providers manage components like applications, virtual machines, databases, datacenters, etc., (the largest portion of the stack) while the company manages components like user access to the application (joiners, leavers, changers, roles, segregation of duties, etc.), end user devices, and data.
Depending on the SaaS provider, there may be multiple configuration options, like password settings or identity federations, and authorization models. Some SaaS providers offer different availability plans to meet recovery time objective and recovery point objective. The company should manage this as well to ensure these are configured in line with their requirements and risk apatite.
Evaluating SaaS vendors
The key to effectively assessing SaaS vendors is to keep in mind that they provide standard services to customers. That means a vendor might not meet every company's detailed security requirement, but that can be difficult to assess on a point-by-point basis. The best approach is to evaluate the vendor at a higher level, looking at how their security measures meet your overall security goals and risk appetite. This should not be a one-time action but requires reevaluation on a periodic basis as both the threat landscape and cloud services will change over time.
There are different ways to gain insight in the security levels of a (SaaS) vendor, some examples are:
Security certifications like ISO 27001 and SOC1/SOC2 assurance reports can be helpful in assessing SaaS security. Those reports are prepared by an independent auditor.
Security questionnaires can be used to query information. It is recommended to use standard terminology to reduce the possibility of a misunderstanding. Documentation of the Cloud Security Alliance can help in this.
Security tests provide insight in potential (technical) security weaknesses. Some vendors share the results of their own security tests or allow customers to perform penetration tests; this provides a better understanding of vendor security practices.
Also keep in mind that many SaaS applications are built on top of other cloud providers, like Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, etc. This has a benefit as the SaaS provider can leverage the security mechanisms of the underlying cloud provider. However, it's good to have an understanding of how the security is maintained in this chain.
The previous points are mainly about the security of the vendor; in addition, a vendor should provide sufficient capabilities for you to securely consume the service this includes the ability to define user roles, segregation of duties, identity federations or password settings. It's also important to be able to conduct secure system-to-system integrations when necessary and to ensure compliance with any limitations on data location.
Also make sure that the company and vendor have up to date contact information so they can communicate in an urgent situation, such as a data breach. Security requirements should be documented in the contract — this is mandatory for companies that are required to comply with GDPR.
Ensuring safe SaaS operations
There's no going back to a time when the in-house IT team controlled all of the data onsite. SaaS solutions are expanding capabilities and lowering costs. That's why all of the momentum is toward an accelerated adoption of SaaS solutions. But the company still has an obligation to ensure that the business is protecting data that moves through SaaS solutions.
That's why it's so important for a multidisciplinary team to evaluate SaaS solutions and make a decision in line with company governance needs. By taking new realities into account and modernizing the approach to security, businesses can get all the benefits of SaaS applications while ensuring that they operate safely within that environment.

Unsentimental Journeys: The Films of Gianfranco Rosi
By Sarah Boslaugh July 30, 2017 July 1, 2018
Gianfranco Rosi is best-known in the United States for his 2016 documentary Fire at Sea, which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary (losing out to the also excellent O.J.: Made in America) and won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Gianfranco Rosi hass been making documentaries for years, and with the release of Unsentimental Journeys: The Films of Gianfranco Rosi by Kino Lorber, you can catch up with some of his best work.
Boatman (1993) is Rosi's NYU film school thesis project. Shot in black and white on a 16 mm camera over a period of several years, the film documents life on the banks of the Ganges River in Varanasi (Benares), India. Even in this early film, Rosi's basic approach to filmmaking is evident—respect the people whose lives you are documenting, honor their point of view as much as possible, and find the beauty in the most ordinary locations and functions of life. Much of what Rosi documents in this film relate to rituals for the dead, whose bodies are cremated or simply deposited in the river whole, and the tourists who comes to observe these rituals. Alongside these activities, people swim, bathe, and wash their clothes in the river. Many voices are heard in Boatman, including that of one recurring character: Gopal Maji, the boatman of the title, who enlivens the film with his comments on the river, the rituals, and the tourists.
Below Sea Level (2008) was shot in Slab City, a makeshift community of sorts in California's Sonoran Desert. Constructed on the concrete slabs of an abandoned Marine base, Slab City is home to thousands of RV-dwellers during the winter months and a smaller number of residents who live there year round. Rosi focuses on a few members of latter group, most of whom seem estranged from "normal" society by accident, intention, or both. Some appear mentally unbalanced, others simply poor, and in either case it's very handy for them that it costs nothing to park your vehicle on a slab. Of course, you must be prepared to survive without some of the common amenities of civilization, like running water, sewage service, power lines, and a police department. Apart from a few night shots, Below Sea Level mostly lacks the visual beauty of Rosi's other films, but that may have been a directorial choice, as it allows Rosi to avoid romanticizing an environment characterized by poverty, concrete, and rusted vehicles.
Sacro GRA (2013) was shot on and around the GRA ("Grande Raccordo Anulare" or "Great Ring Road") that encircles Rome; it is the largest urban motorway in Italy. Sacro GRA was a surprise winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, becoming the first documentary ever to win that award. In this film, Rosi splices together, without explanation, little slices of life, from EMTs bringing a patient to hospital to two transvestites who live in a camper to a man who rents out his aristocratic home for anything from film shoots to tourists seeking a bed and breakfast. While some of the individuals featured may strike you as eccentric, that's your interpretation, not Rosi's, because he never judges the people he films. To provide some context for these intimate portraits, the road is sometimes viewed from within a moving vehicle or from above, and one location is shown in 360 degrees by a steadily panning camera. No matter what Rosi puts on screen in this film, it's always beautifully framed and shot with an eye for color.
Fire at Sea (2016) has the most obvious "hook" of any of Rosi's documentaries, as it documents the arrival of immigrants, many from Africa or the Middle East, on the small Italian island of Lampedusa. Title cards set the context: Lampedusa has a surface area of 20 sq km (less than 8 sq mi), is 70 miles from the African coastline, and has received about 40,000 immigrants hoping to reach the mainland of Europe in the past 20 years; of those 40,000, about 15,000 have died. Yet Fire at Sea is not a single-minded issues documentary, as is evident by the amount of time it spends following a young boy named Samuele, who prefers playing with his slingshot to attending school. Rosi celebrates the harsh beauty of the island in many long shots, as well as the humanity and patience of the islanders who do their best to rescue and care for the migrants while also carrying on with their daily lives.
Unsentimental Journeys: The Films of Gianfranco Rosi is distributed on DVD and Blu-ray by Kino Lorber. Extras on the discs include video interviews with Rosi (5 min.) and Lampedusa hospital director Pietro Bartolo (30 min.) and a Q&A with Rosi from the New York Film Festival (23 min.); an illustrated booklet including an essay by Nicolas Rapold, editor-in- chief of Film Comment, is also included with the set.

Home / Products / Antique Punu Mukudj Okuyi Mask Of Gabon Africa . African Mask. 19th Century
Antique Punu Mukudj Okuyi Mask Of Gabon Africa . African Mask. 19th Century
These are tremendously beautiful masks from Gabon. Really gorgeous.
This is some information about these masks from the Met Museum website and the Art Institute of Chicago website:
In the Punu communities of southern Gabon, mukudj masks are considered portraits of an exceptionally beautiful female member. The coiffure, featuring a prominent sagittal lobe flanked by two lateral tresses, is a classic style of dressing women's hair practiced throughout the region during the nineteenth century. Lozenge cicatrization markings were incised on the forehead and temples of Punu women as a form of aesthetic embellishment and a sign of sensuality. Classic mukudj masks often emphasize a subdivision of the motif into nine units, which is significant in light of the fact that, among the Punu, nine is considered a mystically powerful number and a catalyst in the healing process. In mukudj mask representations, the prominence of the number nine, as well as the red band that accentuates the hairline, make reference to the mystical powers commanded by the dancer. It is those powers that are believed to provide him with the talent and protection necessary to perform. The stylized rendering of the eyes, represented as closed slits, evokes a meditative serenity while at the same time affording the wearer an unobstructed view of the performance arena he must negotiate. The application of white kaolin to the surface of the masks is a reference to spiritual transcendence. The white clay is a sacred material linked to the parallel ancestral realm of existence and also a cosmetic associated with idealized beauty.
Mukudj dances are commissioned by community leaders to mark important occasions—to commemorate the memory of an important member of the community, to celebrate the return or the visit of an honored individual, or to mark a development that will enhance the community's well-being. The mukudj dance is performed on stilts of up to three meters in height; dancers must train from childhood to master the difficult and demanding choreography. During official celebrations, a mukudj dancer towers above his audience and executes acrobatic feats that demand agility, strength, and an acute sense of equilibrium. Because of the extraordinary nature of the performance, dancers are perceived as exceptional individuals who draw upon mystical powers to accomplish such a feat. The thrilling spectacle of mukudj performances alternates between passages of lyrical grace and explosive power.
Mukudj performances are appreciated as the most aesthetically appealing and exciting form of expression in Punu culture and consequently have become a national icon of Gabon. Mukudj masks are displayed as proud insignia of Punu cultural identity in domestic contexts in the capital, Libreville, as well as in rural villages of the remote interior.
This mask is defined by an elaborate and highly stylized bi-lobed coiffure, painted black, which frames an idealized female face. The face is painted white with kaolin, which both references the earthly beauty of the woman represented and symbolizes the spirits of past ancestors. The diamond-shaped scarification marks on the forehead and the square-shaped marks on the temples emphasize the perfect, symmetrical beauty of the face, with its dramatically arched eyebrows, almond-shaped slit eyes, small ears, delicate nose, and slightly protruding mouth and chin. Mukudj masks became extremely popular among European art collectors during the 1920s and 1930s, as their aestheticized and abstract attributes intersected with the ideals of modern art. Today the Punu especially embrace the mukudj mask as a sign of ethnic identity, thus often displaying them within their private domestic spaces and incorporating them into a host of celebrations and communal events.

Who Is DONNA BARBER Video Viral, Why Did She Resign? Reason Explained!
Donna Barber, a longtime Franklin County, Fla., teacher, recently resigned after an explicit video chat with her inmate boyfriend, Lawrence Ray, became public. The chats were leaked by the Franklin County Sheriff's Office and Sheriff AJ Smith, sparking a major scandal and damaging Barber's reputation. Video chats conducted during class hours showed Barber having sex with her boyfriend in her office.Follow our website gossip world media Get the latest updates! ! ! !
donna barber viral video
The video is more than 10 minutes long and includes screenshots of the chat. Barber's actions clearly violated school policy and the teacher's code of conduct. Many community members were shocked and disappointed by Barbour's actions. "It is very inappropriate and disappointing for a teacher to engage in this type of behavior," said one parent. "She is setting a poor example for her students and the community." Barber has extensive experience in the field from her many years of teaching.
What did Donna Barber do?
However, her actions permanently damaged her reputation and she was unable to continue in her position. She resigned last week, and while no criminal charges have been filed against her, she may well have ended her teaching career. The Franklin County School District issued a statement condemning Barber's actions and reiterating its commitment to maintaining high standards for its employees. "Any illegal or inappropriate behavior, including indecent exposure, will not be tolerated," the statement read.
Why did Donna Barber resign?
The Franklin County School District has made it clear that such behavior will not be tolerated and will continue to maintain high standards for its employees. This is a reminder that one must be careful when using either technique, as it can be a double-edged sword. Before we make any decisions, it is important to consider the impact of our actions on ourselves and others. Penalties for teachers who engage in inappropriate behavior with prisoners may vary depending on the circumstances and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the incident occurred.
"We expect all of our staff to behave in a manner that is irreproachable and befitting a professional educator." It is important to note that there are strict guidelines to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. Authorities can immediately shut down a prisoner for obvious or inappropriate behavior during a video call. Additionally, they could face criminal charges of misconduct, obscenity and even child pornography. In the case of Barber, it was not specified if she was charged with any criminal activity, but it is not uncommon for people to face legal consequences for such actions.

The most famous detective, the most baffling mysteries, the most thrilling adventures and the deadliest foes, are coming in out of the fog. Sherlock Holmes was always a modern man - it was the world that got old. Now he's back as he should be - edgy, contemporary, difficult, dangerous.
A woman in pink lies murdered in an abandoned house - a serial killer is loose on London. Inspector Lestrade is the best Scotland Yard has got, but he knows he's not as good as a strange young man called Sherlock ..."
BBC Wales Drama, BBC One and Hartswood Films announce SHERLOCK, a contemporary remake of the Arthur Conan Doyle classic, starring Benedict Cumberbatch (STARTER FOR TEN, STUART: A LIFE BACKWARDS) as the new Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman (THE OFFICE, HOT FUZZ) as his loyal friend, Doctor John Watson. Rupert Graves (GOD ON TRIAL, MIDNIGHT MAN) plays Inspector Lestrade.
The drama is co-created by the amazing partnership of Steven Moffat (DOCTOR WHO, COUPLING) and Mark Gatiss (THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN, DOCTOR WHO, CROOKED HOUSE) and produced by Sue Vertue (COUPLING, THE CUP). The 1 x 60 minute episode, written by Moffat, started filming on 12th January, and is being directed by Coky Giedroyc (VIRGIN QUEEN, BLACKPOOL, OLIVER TWIST).
SHERLOCK is a thrilling, funny, fast-paced take on the crime drama genre set in present day London. The iconic details from Conan Doyle's original books remain - they live at the same address, have the same names and, somewhere out there in the London of 2009, Moriarty is waiting for them.
SHERLOCK is produced by Hartswood Films, continuing their fruitful relationship with the BBC. Past productions include COUPLING, MEN BEHAVING BADLY, JEKYLL and, most recently, THE CUP for BBC Two.
Commissioned by Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning, and Jay Hunt, Controller, BBC One, SHERLOCK is shooting in Wales and on location in London. SHERLOCK is executive produced by Beryl Vertue, Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat.


For the increasing number of arenas with equal-level playing fields, the ANRIN SPORT drainage system NW125 slotted channel was developed. This system guarantees a high degree of variability in relation to various facility areas. The avoidance of tripping edges increases the convenience of use and simplifies care.
In order to conform with the regulations of the international track and field association, it is sufficient, when necessary (e.g. in the event of a competition), to provide the channel bodies along the inside of the track with a mobile edge rail or plastic cover.


Palestine and its people are today dependent on outside aid.
Occupation of the land, the barrier constructed along and within the West Bank as well as land, air and sea blockades on Gaza, has strangled Palestine and its people.
Around 4 in 5 Gazans rely on donations for survival. Originally refugees, they are imprisoned behind concrete walls and humiliating military checkpoints. Despite the empty rhetoric, the suffering of the Palestinian people continues.
Ummah Welfare Trust delivers a range projects in Palestine, particularly in the Gaza strip. Orphans and hifdh students are sponsored; food vouchers and water programmes are implemented; and seasonal programmes always take place. Alhamdulillah, the charity's trauma centre also provides free counseling and support to thousands of children.

Q: How to stop Marshaller class adding XML tag in my output file I am marshalling my Object in 2 separate steps. One adds Header and the other one adds the Body. Now when I use this code
marshaller.marshal(payload, writer);
//payload is Objects name and writer is StringWriter class object

The XML tag, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> is added twice in the final output file.
How can I not add the [<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>] XML tag second time when I am marshalling the body part??
I have used all the properties of Marshaller interface, but that did not help.

A: The solution to this problem was quite simpler than writing my own code.
You need to specify JAXB_FRAGMENT property to true on the Marshaller to avoid this problem. This property lets JAXB know it's marshalling into the middle of a document and that it shouldn't write the header.
So I kept below code, just before writing the BODY part :
marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FRAGMENT, true);

And it works like a charm!

A: You need to do the following:

*

*Manually write the root element (not using JAXB)

*Marshal the Header object.  The root element should be the local root element for the header.

*Marshal the Body object.  The root element should be the local root element for the body.

*Manually close the root element (not using JAXB)

If possible use a StAX XMLStreamWriter to do the manual writing and the marshalling.  I have a related example on my blog:

*

*http://blog.bdoughan.com/2012/08/handle-middle-of-xml-document-with-jaxb.html
Note:
When you marshal into an XML document you must specify the following property on the Marshaller.
marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FRAGMENT, true);

\section{Introduction}
\label{intro}
Understanding how currents of particles or of heat fluctuate through non
equilibrium systems has motivated lots of efforts over the last two decades.
A number of general symmetries of the distribution of these fluctuations,
based on the microreversibility of the dynamics, have been discovered
\cite{ECM,GC,Jarz,Crooks}.
Beyond these symmetries, the distribution of the current fluctuations has
been calculated in several cases \cite{PS2,BD,HRS1,HRS2,GKP,HG}.
For diffusive systems, a general theory, the macroscopic fluctuation theory,
has been developed \cite{BDGJL2} which, under some conditions
\cite{BDGJL5,BDGJL6,BD2005}, allows one to calculate the whole distribution of
these current fluctuations for systems maintained in a non-equilibrium steady
state by contact with two reservoirs (of particles at different chemical
potentials or of heat at different temperatures) \cite{BD,HG,derrida2007}.
For driven systems, which are not diffusive, the fluctuations belong to
the universality class of the Kardar Parisi Zhang equation \cite{KPZ} and can
be related to the fluctuations in growth models and to the theory of random
matrices \cite{J,PS,PS2,sasamoto,TW1,TW2,RS}.

For diffusive systems as well as for driven systems, it has been very helpful
to analyse simple models, in particular exclusion processes
\cite{HS,Liggett2,KL}.
In exclusion processes, one considers particles hopping on a lattice with a
hard core interaction which prevents two particles from being on the same
lattice site.
In one dimension, exclusion processes can be solved by the Bethe ansatz
\cite{gwaspohn,DL,OG2,Degier1,Degier2,TW1,TW2,TW3,PM,ADLW} and a number of
exact results have been obtained on the fluctuation of the current or the
distribution of particles for a given initial condition
\cite{schutz2,Priezzhev,PP,DP}.

In the present work we consider the symmetric simple exclusion
(SSEP) on an infinite one dimensional lattice.
By definition of the model each lattice site is either empty or occupied by a
single particle.
The dynamics is stochastic: each particle hops to each of its neighboring
sites at rate 1 if the move is not forbidden by the exclusion rule (each site
is occupied by at most one particle).
At time $t=0$ each site at the left of the origin ($x \leq 0$) is occupied
with a probability $\rho_a$ and each site at the right of the origin ($x>0$)
is occupied with a probability $\rho_b$ (see figure 1).
We also assume that the measure at $t=0$ is Bernoulli, meaning that there are
no correlation between the occupation numbers of the different sites in the
initial condition.
We call $Q_t$ the total flux of particles between site $0$ and site $1$ during
the time interval $t$. Our goal in the present paper is to determine, for
large times $t$, the probability distribution of $Q_t$.

\begin{figure}[ht]
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=8cm]{initial.eps}}
\caption{The initial condition when $\rho_a=1$ and $\rho_b=0$}
\label{initial}
\end{figure}

The same initial condition has already been considered for the asymmetric
simple exclusion (ASEP) \cite{schutz2,PS2,sasamoto,IS,TW1,TW2,AKR,TW3}, in
particular in connection to random matrix theory.

\bigskip

Our main result is that, for large $t$, the generating function of this total
flux is given by
\begin{equation}
\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle \sim  e^{\sqrt{t} F(\omega) }
\label{res1}
\end{equation}
where the function $F(\omega)$ is defined by
\begin{equation}
F(\omega) = {1 \over \sqrt{\pi}}\sum_{n \geq1} {( -)^{n+1} \over{n}^{3/2}} \
\omega^n \equiv {1 \over {\pi}} \int_{ \infty}^\infty dk \log \left[ 1 +
\omega e^{-k^2} \right]
\label{Fdef}
\end{equation}
and $\omega$ is a function of $\rho_a, \rho_b, \lambda$
\begin{equation}
\omega= \rho_a( e^\lambda -1) + \rho_b(e^{-\lambda}- 1) + \rho_a \rho_b (
e^\lambda -1) ( e^{-\lambda} -1) \,.
\label{omega-def}
\end{equation}
{\bf Remark:}
It has already been noticed \cite{DDR} that in the steady state of the SSEP on
a large but finite chain, the generating function of the current was also a
function of $\rho_a, \rho_b, \lambda$ through the same single parametrer,
$\omega$. This is a general property of the symmetric exclusion process that
we shall establish in section 2 for a general graph.
\ \\ \ \\
{\bf Remark:} From (\ref{res1},\ref{Fdef},\ref{omega-def}) one can  obtain
all the cumulants of $Q_t$, in the large $t$ limit. They all grow like
$\sqrt {t}$ and the prefactor in the cumulant $\langle Q_t^n \rangle_c$
is a polynomial of degree $n$ in $\rho_a$ and $\rho_b$.
For example, for $\rho_a=\rho$ and $\rho_b=0$, one gets
\begin{eqnarray*}
   \lim_{t\to \infty} t^{-1/2} \langle Q_t \rangle_c &=&{1 \over \sqrt{\pi}} \
  \rho\,,\\
  \lim_{t\to \infty} t^{-1/2} \langle Q_t^2 \rangle_c &=& {1 \over
  \sqrt{\pi}} \left(\rho- {\rho^2 \over \sqrt{2}}\right)\,,\\
   \lim_{t\to \infty} t^{-1/2} \langle Q_t^3 \rangle_c &=& {1 \over
  \sqrt{\pi}} \left(\rho-  {3 \over \sqrt{2}} \ \rho^2  + {2 \over \sqrt{3}} \
  \rho^3 \right)\,,\\
\end{eqnarray*}

 while for $\rho_a= \rho_b  =\rho$ one gets for the even cumulants
(all the odd ones  vanish by symmetry)
\begin{eqnarray*}
  \lim_{t\to \infty} t^{-1/2} \langle Q_t^2 \rangle_c &=& {2 \over \sqrt{\pi}}
  \ \rho(1- \rho)\,,\\
  \lim_{t\to \infty} t^{-1/2} \langle Q_t^4 \rangle_c &=& {2 \over
  \sqrt{\pi}}  \ \rho(1- \rho) - {6 \sqrt{2} \over \sqrt{\pi}}  \  \rho^2(1-
  \rho)^2\,.
\end{eqnarray*}
This can be compared to the variance of the position $X_t$ of a tagged
particle \cite{richards,Alexander,Arratia,Saada,VKK,Kumar}, which also grows
like $\sqrt{t}$, by arguing that the typical distance between particles is
$\rho^{-1}$ so that $\langle Q_t^2 \rangle \simeq \rho^2 \langle X_t^2
\rangle$.

From the knowledge of the generating function (\ref{res1}), one can obtain the
distribution of $Q_t$. This distribution takes, in the long time limit, a
scaling form
\begin{equation}
{\rm Pro} \left( {Q_t \over \sqrt{t}} = q \right) \sim \exp[\sqrt{t} G(q) ]\,,
\end{equation}
where $G(q)$ can be related to $F(\omega)$ by a Lagrange transform. This
allows one to obtain the asymptotics of $G(q)$. One can see from the integral
representation (\ref{Fdef}) of $F(\omega)$ that, for large positive $\omega$,

$$F(\omega) \simeq {4 \over 3 {\pi}} \  [ \log \omega ]^{3/2} +  {\pi \over 6
}  \ [\log \omega ]^{-1/2}  + ..$$

and this gives for large positive $q$

\begin{equation}
G(q) \simeq -{\pi^2 \over 12} \  q^3 + q \log(\rho_a(1-\rho_b) )  +..
\label{q3}
\end{equation}

This paper is organized as follows: in section II we prove that the generating
function $\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle$ of $Q_t$ is a function
of the densities $\rho_a, \rho_b$ and of $\lambda$ through the single
parameter $\omega$ defined in (\ref{omega-def}).
In section III we obtain an exact expression of the generating function
of $Q_t$ from which  we derive the large $t$ asymptotics (\ref{res1},\ref{Fdef}).

\section{Evolution of the correlation functions and the $\omega$
dependence}
\label{sec:1}
Let $\tau_x$ be a binary variable which indicates whether site $x$ is occupied
($\tau_x=1$) or empty ($\tau_x=0$).
In this section we are going to argue that all the $n$-point correlation
functions of these $\tau_x$'s are polynomials of degree $n$ in $\rho_a$ and
$\rho_b$.
This will allow us to show that the $n$-th moment $\langle Q_t^n \rangle$ is
also a polynomial of degree $n$ in $\rho_a$ and $\rho_b$.
Then using the particle-hole symmetry, we will show that the generating
function $\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle$ depends on
$\rho_a,\rho_b$ and $\lambda$ through the single parameter $\omega$ defined in
(\ref{omega-def}).

One can write the exact evolution of the expectation $\langle \tau_x \rangle$
where $\langle.\rangle$ denotes an average over the stochastic evolution and
the initial conditions.
On the infinite line it takes the form
\begin{equation}
{d \over dt} \langle \tau_x \rangle = \langle \tau_{x+1} \rangle
+ \langle \tau_{x-1} \rangle - 2 \langle \tau_x \rangle \,.
\label{one_point}
\end{equation}
As at time $t=0$, one has $\langle \tau_x \rangle= \rho_a$ for $x \leq 0$ and
$\langle \tau_x \rangle= \rho_b$ for $x > 0$, it is clear that at any later
time the solution of (\ref{one_point}) is linear in $\rho_a$ and $\rho_b$.

Similarly for any $x < y$ the evolution of the 2-point correlation function is
given for $y> x+1$ by
\begin{equation}
{d \over dt} \langle \tau_x \tau_y \rangle = \langle \tau_{x+1} \tau_y \rangle
+\langle \tau_{x-1} \tau_y \rangle +\langle \tau_{x} \tau_{y+1} \rangle
+\langle \tau_{x} \tau_{y-1} \rangle - 4 \langle \tau_x \tau_y\rangle
\label{two_point_1}
\end{equation}
and  for $y=x+1$ by
\begin{equation}
{d \over dt} \langle \tau_x \tau_{x+1} \rangle = \langle \tau_{x-1} \tau_{x+1}
\rangle +\langle \tau_{x} \tau_{x+2} \rangle - 2 \langle \tau_x
\tau_{x+1}\rangle\,.
\label{two_point_2}
\end{equation}
These evolution equations do not involve higher correlation functions and as
at $t=0$ the only possible values of $\langle\tau_x \tau_y \rangle $ are
$\rho_a^2, \rho_a \rho_b$ or $ \rho_b^2$, one can easily see that at any later
time $ \langle \tau_x \tau_y \rangle $ remains a quadratic function of
$\rho_a$ and $\rho_b$.

One can generalize this property of the SSEP to all equal-time or unequal-time
correlation functions on a general graph. Let us consider the symmetric
exclusion process on such a graph : the vertices are either empty or occupied
by a single particle and each particle can hop at rate one to every empty site
to which it is directly connected by the graph.
Therefore if $X\equiv \{ x_1, .. x_n\}$ is a set of $n$ different sites on
the graph and if $\langle \tau_X \rangle$ denotes their $n$-point correlation
function
$$\langle \tau_X \rangle = \langle \tau_{x_1} ... \tau_{x_n} \rangle \,,$$
it is easy to see that the evolution of $\langle \tau_X \rangle$ is given by
\begin{equation}
{ d \langle \tau_X \rangle \over dt} = \sum_{y \not\in X} \sum_{k=1}^n
\chi(y,x_k)[\langle \tau_y\tau_{X \setminus \{x_k\}} \rangle - \langle \tau_X
\rangle]
\label{evol2}
\end{equation}
 where $\chi(x,y)=1$ or $0$ indicates whether the edge $(x,y)$ is present or
not on the graph.
If initially all the $\tau_x$'s are uncorrelated, some sites being occupied
with probability $\rho_a$ and all the other sites occupied with probability
$\rho_b$, all the equal-time $n$-point correlation functions are obviously
polynomials of degree exactly $n$ in $\rho_a$ and $\rho_b$ at time $t=0$.
This property is preserved by the evolution (\ref{evol2}).
A similar reasoning allows one to show that all the unequal time $n$-point
correlation functions are also polynomials in $\rho_a$ and $\rho_b$ of degree
at most $n$.

On this general graph let us call $A$ the subset of sites occupied at time
$t=0$ with probability $\rho_a$ (all the other sites being occupied with
probability $\rho_b$). Obviously one has $\langle \tau_x \rangle = \rho_a$ if
$ x \in A$ and $\langle \tau_x \rangle = \rho_b$ if $ x \not\in A$. If $Q_t$
is the total flux out of the subset $A$ during time $t$, one has
\begin{equation}
Q_t = \sum_{x \in A} \tau_x(0)- \tau_x(t) \,.
\label{Qt-def}
\end{equation}
It is clear from (\ref{Qt-def}) that $\langle Q_t^n \rangle$ can be expressed
in terms of unequal-time $n$-point correlation functions and is therefore a
polynomial of degree $n$ in $\rho_a$ and $\rho_b$ (if one or more sites are
repeated more than once in the correlation function, this may give a
polynomial of lower degree as $\tau_x^k = \tau_x$ for all $k \geq 1$).

\ \\ \ \\ \

To show that $\langle e^{\lambda Q_t}\rangle$ depends only on the reduced
parameter $\omega$, let us consider a finite lattice of $N$ sites, where
initially all the $N_A$ sites of the subset $A$ are occupied with density
$\rho_a$, and all the remaining $N-N_A$ sites are occupied with density
$\rho_b$.
One can write the generating function $\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t}
\right\rangle$ as
\begin{equation}
\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle = \sum_{p=0}^{N_A}
\sum_{q=0}^{N-N_A} \rho_a^p (1-\rho_a)^{N_A -p} \ \ \rho_b^q (1-\rho_b)^{N-N_A
-q} \ \ e^{-q \lambda} R_{p,q} ( e^\lambda) \,,
\label{gen1}
\end{equation}
where $R_{p,q}(z)$ is a polynomial of degree $p+q$ in $z$ which depends on
time and on the choice of the subset $A$.
The reason for the factor $ e^{-q \lambda} R_{p,q} ( e^\lambda)$ is
that this term corresponds to situations where initially there are $p$
particles in the subgraph $A$ and $q$ particles in the rest of the graph
so that $Q_t$ can only take the values $Q_t=-q,-q+1,.. p$.
If one expands this expression in powers of $\rho_a$ and $\rho_b$, one gets
\begin{equation}
\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle =\sum_{p=0}^{N_A}\sum_{q=0}^{N-N_A}
 \rho_a^p \ \rho_b^q \ e^{-q \lambda} S_{p,q} ( e^\lambda)\,,
\end{equation}
where  $S_{p,q}(z)$ is also a polynomial of degree $p+q$.
For $\langle Q_t^n \rangle$ to be a polynomial of degree $n$ in
$\rho_a $ and $ \rho_b$ one needs that for $\lambda$ small
$$S_{p,q} ( e^\lambda) = O(\lambda^{p+q})\,,$$
so that the polynomial $S_{p,q}$ has the form
$$S_{p,q} ( e^\lambda) = s_{p,q} (e^\lambda-1)^{p+q} \,,$$
where $s_{p,q}$ is a number which depends on time, on the graph and on the
subgraph $A$ but does not depend on $\lambda$.
This implies that (\ref{gen1}) can be rewritten as
\begin{equation}
\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle = \sum_{p=0}^{N_A}
\sum_{q=0}^{N-N_A} s_{p,q} \ \ [\rho_a( e^\lambda-1)]^p \ \ [\rho_b(
e^{-\lambda}-1)]^q \equiv G\big( \rho_a( e^\lambda-1), \rho_b(
e^{-\lambda}-1)\big) \,.
\label{G-def}
\end{equation}
This shows clearly that $\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle$ is
already a function of only two reduced variables: $\rho_a( e^\lambda-1)$ and
$\rho_b( e^{-\lambda}-1)$.

Let us now use the particle-hole symmetry. In the SSEP, holes have exactly the
same dynamics as particles. Therefore the generating function of the flux
$Q_t$ is left invariant by the particle-hole symmetry $(\rho_a,\rho_b,\lambda)
\to (1-\rho_a,1-\rho_b,-\lambda)$.
In terms of the function $G$ of two variables defined in (\ref{G-def}), this
means that, for any $\rho_a, \rho_b,\lambda$
\begin{equation}
G\big( \rho_a( e^\lambda-1), \rho_b( e^{-\lambda}-1)\big) =
G\big( (1-\rho_a)( e^{-\lambda}-1), (1-\rho_b)( e^{\lambda}-1)\big)\,,
\label{G-sym}
\end{equation}
and so, if $\alpha= \rho_a( e^\lambda-1)$ and $\beta= \rho_b( e^{-\lambda}-1)$
, one has
\begin{equation}
G\big( \alpha, \ \beta\big) = G\big( e^{-\lambda}-1 + \alpha e^{-\lambda},
e^{\lambda}-1 + \beta e^{\lambda}\big)\,.
\label{G-sym1}
\end{equation}
As (\ref{G-sym1}) is valid for any $\lambda$, one can choose $e^{-\lambda}= 1+
\beta$, which leads to
\begin{equation}
G\big( \alpha, \ \beta\big) = G\big( \alpha + \beta + \alpha \beta, 0\big)\,.
\end{equation}
This completes the proof that $G(\alpha,\beta)$ and therefore $\left\langle
e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle$ are functions of the single variable \\
$\alpha + \beta + \alpha \beta= \rho_a( e^\lambda-1) +\rho_b( e^{-\lambda}-1)+
\rho_a( e^\lambda-1) \rho_b( e^{-\lambda}-1) \equiv \omega$.

\ \\
{\bf Remark:}
This $\omega$ dependence of $\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle$ was
already noticed for the SSEP on a finite lattice of length $L$ connected at
its extremities to two reservoirs of particles in \cite{DDR}, where it
was, however, only obtained in the large $t$ and $L$ limit.
A consequence of the above discussion is that the $\omega$ dependence remains
valid for any system size $L$, at any time $t$, in more complicated
geometries (in particular in higher dimensions), and for more
complicated connections to the two reservoirs at densities $\rho_a$ and
$\rho_b$.
To illustrate this claim, let us consider as in \cite{DDR} the SSEP on a one
dimensional lattice of $L$ sites, with particles injected on site $1$ and
$L$ at rates $\alpha$ and $\delta$ and removed from these two sites at rates
$\gamma$ and $\beta$.
It is well known that these rates correspond to site $1$ being connected to a
reservoir at density $\rho_a= {\alpha \over \alpha + \gamma}$ and site $L$ to
a reservoir at density $\rho_b= {\delta \over \beta + \delta}$.
Instead of these input rates, one could think of site $1$ being connected to a
large number $N_1$ of sites (which mimic the left reservoir), which are all
initially at density $\rho_a$, with an exchange rate $ (\alpha+\gamma)/N_1$
between site $1$ and each of these $N_1$ sites of the reservoir.
Similarly one can replace the rates $\beta$ and $\delta$ by a large reservoir
of $N_L$ sites, initially at density $\rho_b= {\delta \over \beta + \delta}$,
with an exchange rate $(\beta+ \delta)/N_L$ with site $L$.
If inially all sites $i \leq i_0$ are at density $\rho_a$ and all sites $i
\geq i_0+1$ are at density $\rho_b$, we are in a situation where all the sites
of the graph composed by the one-dimensional lattice and the reservoirs are
initially occupied with probability either $\rho_a$ or $\rho_b$.
In this geometry the flux $Q_t$ is then simply the total flux of particles
between site $i_0$ and site $i_0+1$, and therefore, for this flux, we know
from (\ref{G-sym}) that $ \left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle$ depends
on $\rho_a,\rho_b$ and $\lambda$ through the single parameter $\omega$.
\ \\ \ \\

Because the generating function $ \left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle$
depends only on the single parameter $\omega$ defined in (\ref{omega-def}), it
can be written as
\begin{equation}
\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle = \sum_{n \geq 0} \ s_n(t) \
\omega^n \ .
\label{expansion}
\end{equation}
Therefore, to determine the coefficients $s_n(t)$, one can limit the
discussion to the particular case $\rho_b=0$ where the analysis is easier.
Then
\begin{equation}
\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle = \sum_{n \geq 0} s_n(t)\  \rho_a^n\  (e^\lambda-1)^n \,.
\label{expansion-1}
\end{equation}
This can be viewed as an expansion of $\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t}
\right\rangle$ in powers to $\rho_a$. We are now going to express the
coefficients $s_n(t)$ in terms of properties of exclusion process on an
arbitrary graph.
For simplicity we consider a finite graph.
Initially, only the sites of the subset $A$ are occupied, with probability
$\rho_a$ : very much like in (\ref{gen1}) one can write the generating
function $\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle$ as
\begin{equation}
\left\langle e^{\lambda Q_t} \right\rangle= \sum_{E \subseteq A} \rho_a^{|E|}
(1- \rho_a)^{N_A- |E|} \ \sum_{q=0}^{|E|} {\rm Pro}_t(E,q) \ e^{\lambda q}\,,
\label{expansion-2}
\end{equation}
where ${\rm Pro}_t(E,q) $ is the probability that $q$ particles have escaped
from $A$ during $t$, given that at $t=0$ only its subset $E$ was occupied by
particles.
Comparing (\ref{expansion-1}) and (\ref{expansion-2}), we see that the
coefficients $s_n(t)$ can be expressed in terms of the probabilities ${\rm
Pro}_t(E,q) $.
In fact, this relation takes a simple form, which can be easily understood by
taking simultaneously the limits $\rho_a \to 0$ and $\lambda \to \infty$, at
fixed $\rho_a e^\lambda$, in (\ref{expansion-1}) and (\ref{expansion-2}) : this leads to
\begin{equation}
s_n(t)= \sum_{E \subseteq A,|E|=n} {\rm Pro}_t(E,n) \,,
\label{sn}
\end{equation}
where the sum is over all the subsets $E$ of $n$ sites and ${\rm Pro}_t(E,n)$
is the probability that, if initially all the $n$ sites of $E$ are occupied,
the rest of the graph being empty, all the $n$ particles have escaped from $A$
at time $t$.

\section{The Bethe ansatz}
\label{sec:2}
The evolution equations of the correlation functions, on the infinite line,
can be solved via the Bethe ansatz :
for a fixed initial configuration, i.e. $\{\tau_x(0)\}= \{\eta_x\}$, it allows
one to obtain the expression of all the correlations functions at any later
time. For example the solution of (\ref{one_point}) is
\begin{equation}
\langle \tau_y(t)\rangle = \sum_{x} P_t^{(1)}(y|x) \ \eta_{x}\,,
\label{one_point_sol}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
P_t^{(1)}(y|x)= \oint_{|z_1|=r} {dz_1 \over 2 i \pi z_1} \ z_1^{y-x} \ \exp
\left[\left( z_1+ {1 \over z_1}-2 \right )t\right]
\label{one_point_sol_1}
\end{equation}
where the integration contour is a counterclockwise circle of radius
$r$ (for convenience in what follows we choose $r \ll 1$).

Similarly one can show that the solution of
(\ref{two_point_1},\ref{two_point_2}) is, for $y_1<y_2$,
\begin{equation}
\langle \tau_{y_1}(t) \tau_{y_2}(t) \rangle = \sum_{x_1<x_2}
P_t^{(2)}(y_1,y_2|x_1,x_2) \ \eta_{x_1} \eta_{x_2}\,,
\label{two_point_sol}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
P_t^{(2)}(y_1,y_2|x_1,x_2)=
\oint_{|z_1|=|z_2|=r}
{dz_1  \over 2 i \pi z_1}
\
{dz_2  \over 2 i \pi z_2}
 \   \left[z_1^{y_1-x_1} z_2^{ y_2-x_2}
 -  \left({ z_1 z_2  + 1 - 2 z_2 \over  z_1 z_2 + 1 - 2 z_1} \right)
   z_1^{ y_2-x_1}
z_2^{y_1-x_2}
\right]
\nonumber \\
\ \ \times  \  \exp \left[\left( z_1 + {1 \over z_1} +z_2 + {1 \over z_2} -4
\right )t\right]\,.\;\;\;\;\;
\label{two_point_sol_1}
\end{eqnarray}
In fact (\ref{one_point_sol}) and (\ref{two_point_sol}) can be extended to
arbitrary correlation functions to give
\begin{equation}
\langle \tau_{y_1}(t) \tau_{y_2}(t) ..  \tau_{y_n}(t) \rangle = \sum_{x_1<x_2 < .. < x_n}
P_t^{(n)}(y_1,y_2,..,y_n|x_1,x_2, .. x_n)  \  \eta_{x_1} \eta_{x_2} .. \eta_{x_n}
\label{n_point_sol}
\end{equation}
where $P_t^{(n)}(y_1,y_2,..,y_n|x_1,x_2, .. x_n)$ has a Bethe ansatz
expression which generalizes (\ref{one_point_sol_1},\ref{two_point_sol_1})
(see Appendix \ref{Apx:1} and \cite{TW1}).

One can then use (\ref{sn}) to establish that the coefficients $s_n(t)$ are
given by
\begin{equation}
s_n(t) =
 \sum_{x_1<x_2 < .. < x_n \leq 0 < y_1 < .. < y_n}
P_t^{(n)}(y_1,y_2,..,y_n|x_1,x_2, .. x_n) \,.
\label{sn_1}
\end{equation}
For example one gets from (\ref{one_point_sol_1}, \ref{two_point_sol_1}) for $n=1$ and $n=2$
\begin{equation}
s_1(t) = \oint_{|z_1|=r} {dz_1 \over  2 i \pi }
\  {1 \over (1- z_1)^2}
 \ \exp \left[\left( z_1+ {1 \over z_1}-2
\right )t\right]
\label{s1}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{eqnarray}
s_2(t)=
\oint_{|z_1| =|z_2| =r}
{dz_1  \over 2 i \pi z_1}
\
{dz_2  \over 2 i \pi z_2}
 \    \left[
{z_1^2 z_2^2 \over(1-z_1)(1-z_2)(1-z_1 z_2)^2}
 \right.\nonumber \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;
 \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;&& \\
 -\left.
{z_1^3 z_2 \over(1-z_1)^2(1-z_1 z_2)^2}
\left(  { z_1 z_2  + 1 - 2 z_2 \over  z_1 z_2 + 1 - 2 z_1} \right)
\right]\ \times  \  \exp \left[\left( z_1 + {1 \over z_1} +z_2 + {1 \over z_2} -4
\right )t\right]\,.\;\; &&
\label{s2}
\end{eqnarray}
By symmetrizing the above expression over $z_1$ and $z_2$ one can show that this can be rewritten as
\begin{eqnarray}
s_2(t)= {1 \over 2}
\oint_{|z_i| =r}
{dz_1  \over 2 i \pi }
\
{dz_2  \over 2 i \pi }
 \  \  \det \left({1 \over z_k z_l +1 - 2 z_l} \right)_{1\leq k,l \leq2}
 \   \exp \left[\left( z_1 + {1 \over z_1} +z_2 + {1 \over z_2} -4
\right )t\right]\,.
\label{s2-bis}
\end{eqnarray}

This expression can in fact be extended to arbitrary $n$, using an approach
which follows closely recent works by Tracy and Widom \cite{TW1,TW2}. The
derivation, which is detailed in Appendix \ref{Apx:1}, yields
\begin{eqnarray}
\langle e^{\lambda Q_t}\rangle = \sum_{n\geq0}\omega^n s_n(t)=
\sum_{n\geq0}{\omega^n \over n!}
\oint_{|z_k|= r}
\left[\prod_{k=1}^n { dz_k  e^{t(z_k+1/z_k-2)}\over 2 i \pi }
\right]
\
 \  \  \det \left({1 \over z_k z_l +1 - 2 z_l} \right)_{1\leq k,l \leq n}
\label{sn-bis}
\end{eqnarray}
 \ \\   \ \\ \ \\
It is  known \cite{BSimon}  (see also eq.(7) of \cite{TW2}) that  for a Fredholm operator $K$ which transforms a function $f$ into a function $Kf$ by

$$Kf(z)= \int_{|z| = r} {dz \over 2 i \pi} K(z,z') f(z')\,,$$
one has
\begin{equation}
\det(I + \omega K) =
\sum_{n\geq0}{\omega^n \over n!}
\oint_{|z_k| =r}  \ \left[\prod_{k=1}^n  {dz_k \over 2 i \pi}\right]
   \  \det \left(K(z_k,z_l) \right)_{1\leq k,l \leq n}\,.
\label{determinant}
\end{equation}
This implies that
\begin{equation}
\log [\det(I + \omega K) ]= {\rm tr}[ \log(I+ \omega K)] = -
\sum_{n\geq0}{(-\omega)^n \over n}
\oint_{|z_k| =r}
 \left[\prod_{k=1}^n  {dz_k \over 2 i \pi}\right]
K(z_1,z_2) .. K(z_n,z_1)\,.
\label{logdeterminant}
\end{equation}
Comparing (\ref{sn-bis}) and (\ref{determinant}), we see that by choosing
\begin{equation}
K(z,z')=
{\exp\left[\left( z + {1 \over z}
  -2\right)t\right]\over zz'+1-2z}\,,
\label{Kdef}
\end{equation}
one gets (\ref{logdeterminant}) that
\begin{eqnarray}
\log \langle e^{\lambda Q_t}\rangle = -
\sum_{n\geq 1}{(-\omega)^n \over n}
\oint_{|z_k|= r}
\left[\prod_{k=1}^n {
dz_k  \over 2 i \pi }
\right]
\
 \  \   \prod_{k=1}^n \left(
{
 \exp \left[\left( z_k + {1 \over z_k} -2 \right )t\right]
 \over z_k z_{k+1} +1 - 2 z_{k+1}} \right)
\label{sn-ter}
\end{eqnarray}
(with the convention that $z_{n+1} \equiv z_1$ in the $n$-th term).

In Appendix B, we derive the large $t$ behavior of the integrals in
the r.h.s. of (\ref{sn-ter}), which leads to
$$ \log\langle e^{\lambda Q_t}\rangle \sim
-\sum_{n\geq1}{(-\omega)^n\over n} \sqrt{t\over\pi n}  = \sqrt
{t} F(\omega)\,,$$
completing the derivation  of (\ref{res1},\ref{Fdef}).
\\
\\ \ \\ \ \\ {\bf Remark :}
from the expressions (\ref{one_point_sol}, \ref{one_point_sol_1},
\ref{two_point_sol},\ref{two_point_sol_1}, \ref{n_point_sol}, \ref{TWAnsatz}),
one can in principle calculate arbitrary correlation functions of the
occupation numbers $\tau_i$ at time $t$. For the
one-point and the connected two-point functions one gets when $\rho_a=1$
and $\rho_b=0$
$$\langle\tau_x\rangle = \oint {dz e^{t(z+1/z-2)}\over 2i\pi z}{ z^x
\over1-z}
\ \ \ \ \mbox{and} \ \ \ \ \langle\tau_x\tau_y\rangle_c = \oint {dz dz'
e^{t(z + 1/z + z' +
1/z' - 4)}\over 4\pi^2 z z'}{z^x z'^y \over zz'+1-2z'} \,.$$

Then, carrying out an asymptotic analysis similar to the one performed in
Appendix \ref{Apx:2} yields for $n=1$ and $n=2$

\begin{equation}
\langle \tau_{x_1}..\tau_{x_n}\rangle_c \simeq {t^{{1-n \over 2}}}
G_n\left({x_1\over\sqrt{t}},..,{x_n\over\sqrt{t}}\right) \,.
\label{scaling-n}
\end{equation}
with
\begin{equation}
G_1(X)={1\over\sqrt{\pi}} \int_{-\infty}^{X/2} e^{-u^2} du  \ \ \ \ \mbox{and }
\ \ \ \ G_2(X,Y) = -{e^{-(X+Y)^2/8}\over2\sqrt{2}\pi} \int_{-\infty}^{X-Y\over
2\sqrt{2}} e^{-u^2} du \,.
\label{scaling-n-bis}
\end{equation}

The scaling form (\ref{scaling-n},\ref{scaling-n-bis}) of the two-point
function  is very reminiscent of  what is known for the  steady state
of the  SSEP on an open interval \cite{Spohn} of length $L$ , where the two point
function scales like  $L^{-1}$ and the $n$-point (connected) correlation
function scales like $L^{1-n}$ \cite{DLS5}.
It would be interesting to know whether the scaling form
(\ref{scaling-n})  remains valid for $n \geq 2$. If  so one could
then try to determine the scaling functions $G_n$ in order to obtain the
large deviation function of an arbitrary density profile
\cite{BDGJL2,DLS2}.

\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:conc}
In the present work, we have shown that, for a step initial density profile,
the generating function of the integrated current $Q_t$ is a function of a
single parameter $\omega$, defined in (\ref{omega-def}), which takes a simple
closed expression (\ref{res1}).
This $\omega$ dependence is also valid for an arbitrary graph.
In one dimension, for this non-equilibrium initial condition, the distribution
of $Q_t$ is clearly not Gaussian with a tail which decays faster than a
Gaussian (\ref{q3}).

It would be interesting to generalize our results to other diffusive systems
and to try to calculate the distribution of $Q_t$ with the same step initial
condition, in order to see under which conditions one could recover the
non-Gaussian decay (\ref{q3}). The most promising approach, at the moment, is
to try to generalize the macroscopic theory of Bertini, De Sole, Gabrielli,
Jona--Lasinio, and Landim \cite{BDGJL2,BDGJL5,BDGJL6} to a non-steady state
initial condition.

A possible extension of the present work would be to introduce a weak
asymmetry (of order $t^{-1/2}$) in the hopping rates to understand the
cross-over in the current fluctuations between the SSEP and the ASEP.

Another interesting question would be to determine the scaling form
(\ref{scaling-n}) of all the higher correlation functions and to obtain
the large deviation function of an arbitrary density profile, when the
initial condition is, as in figure \ref{initial} far from a steady state
situation.

Non-commercial operations with complex motorized aircraft (NCC) or other than complex motorized aircraft (NCO)
1. Non-commercial operations with complex motorized aircraft (NCC)
The procedure for declaring non-commercial operations with complex motor-powered aircraft and the inclusion of the air operator in the surveillance program is described in Part NCC-NCO / GA, Section 1, of PIAC-OPS Procedures "Civil Aviation Procedures and Instructions for Air Operations".
A. AACR information
The air operator intending to conduct non-commercial operations with complex motor-powered aircraft may request a meeting with AACR representatives in order to obtain the necessary information by sending to AACR information on the intention to carry out such operations.
The meeting takes place between a team established internally in AACR and the responsible manager of the operator.
At this meeting, the operator shall receive information on the regulations, directives, circulars and procedures that he must know and apply. At the request of the applicant, the AACR shall provide it with a package of information necessary to be implemented for the safe conduct of non-commercial operations with complex motor-powered aircraft.
B. Declaration of non-commercial operations with complex motorized aircraft
In accordance with Art. ORO.DEC.100 of Regulation (EU) no. 965/2012, the air operator must submit to the AACR a statement regarding the conduct of specialized commercial operations, the model of the Declaration being this.
AACR shall verify that the declaration contains all mandatory information and shall, within 10 days of receipt of the declaration, issue information attesting to the air operator's intention to conduct specialized commercial operations.
Before starting specialized commercial operations, the operator must ensure that all requirements applicable to the operations he intends to carry out are implemented and complied with (example: Part ORO, Part SPO of Regulation (EU) No 965/2012).
The air operator must appoint responsible persons according to ORO.SPO.100 and implement a management system appropriate to the size of the operator, the nature and complexity of its activities, which can be described in the Operations Manual or in a separate document.
The air operator must also develop an Operations Manual in accordance with AMC2 or AMC3 at ORO.MLR.100 and the Minimum Equipment List for the aircraft it intends to operate.
If the air operator intending to conduct non-commercial operations with complex motor-powered aircraft holds an Air Operator Certificate, the provisions relating to non-commercial operations with complex motor-powered aircraft may be included in the Operations Manual specific to commercial air transport activities, but must be clearly defined. so as not to create confusion in their application. When making a decision in this regard, the air operator must take into account the complexity of the Operations Manual and how to use it if it is supplemented with elements that may differ depending on the types of operations it carries out.
If you want to obtain specific approvals (DG, PBN, LVO, RVSM and / or MNPS), the process of granting them is similar to that detailed in Chap. 2 of Part GEN of PIAC-OPS. After completing the process of obtaining specific approvals, the AACR shall issue to the air operator the List of specific approvals.
The air operator is required to inform AACR of any changes to the declaration and / or means of compliance originally submitted, by completing a new declaration.
C. Continuous supervision
After confirming the declaration regarding the development of non-commercial operations with complex motorized aircraft, AACR continuously evaluates and monitors the air operators through inspections / surveillance audits, in order to carry out the operations in safe conditions according to the provisions of the applicable legislation.
For organizations under AACR oversight, the oversight program shall be developed taking into account the specific nature of the organization, the complexity of its activities, the results of previous certification and / or oversight activities and shall be based on an assessment of the associated risks.
AACR is not limited to the objectives of an audit / inspection mission within the meaning of this procedure, may extend the audit / inspection period, may change the frequency and timing of scheduled audits / inspections according to the information and elements available in the ongoing surveillance process. the safety they perform or depending on the nature and / or extent of the air operator's operations and changes thereto.
If during the supervisory inspections deficiencies with multiple implications are found between the air operator's departments, the inspections may turn into an audit of the entire air operator system.
AACR will apply a planning cycle for the supervision of Romanian air operators that carry out non-commercial operations with complex motorized aircraft at least once every 48 months.
If the AACR finds that the safety performance of the air operator has decreased or if regulations / amendments have been issued to the applicable regulations that need to be implemented, audits / inspections may be carried out on the air operators concerned whenever it is considered necessary in which case the audits / inspections will be unplanned.
More details on how to supervise the Romanian air operators that have declared their activity are described here
D. Findings and corrective actions
AACR has a system for analyzing findings in terms of their safety significance, as follows:
a Level 1 finding is issued when any significant non-compliance with the applicable requirements, the organisation's procedures and manuals or the conditions of an approval or certificate is found, which reduces the level of safety or seriously endangers the safety of the flight.
a level 2 finding shall be issued when any non-compliance with applicable requirements, the organisation's procedures and manuals or the conditions of an approval or certificate is detected, which could reduce the level of safety or endanger the safety of the flight.
When a non-compliance is issued, the AACR communicates that finding in writing to the organization and requests corrective action to resolve the identified non-compliance (s). The corrective action plan must be formulated so as to allow the identification of the cause of the non-compliance, its correction and the corrective action as well as the time period necessary for the implementation of the proposed corrective action.
In the case of Level 1 findings, the AACR shall take immediate and appropriate measures to prohibit or restrict activities and, where appropriate, take measures to revoke the certificate or specific approval or to limit or suspend it in whole or in part, in depending on the extent of the level 1 finding, until the organization has successfully taken corrective action.
In the case of Level 2 findings, AACR:
gives the organization a deadline for the implementation of corrective actions corresponding to the nature of the finding, which, in any case, does not exceed three months in any case. At the end of this period and depending on the nature of the finding, AACR may extend the period by three months subject to the existence of a satisfactory, previously accepted corrective action plan; and
assess the corrective actions and implementation plan proposed by the organization and, if the evaluation concludes that they are sufficient to resolve the non-compliance (s), accept them.
If an organization does not submit an acceptable corrective action plan or does not execute the corrective action within the timeframe accepted or extended by the AACR, the finding becomes a Level 1 finding and action is taken on this type of non-compliance.
2. Non-commercial operations with aircraft other than complex motorized aircraft (NCO)
In order to carry out non-commercial operations with aircraft other than complex motorized aircraft, the air operator shall ensure full compliance with Part-NCO requirements.
In the case of NCO operations, the applicable legislation does not provide for the obligation for air operators to declare their activity.
After identifying the air operators that can carry out non-commercial operations with aircraft other than complex motorized ones, AACR will apply a planning cycle for the supervision of Romanian air operators carrying out non-commercial operations with complex motorized aircraft at least once every 48 months.


When the group left from the rear of the camp, at first mounted police tried to ride into people but soon backed off and allowed them to stream across the field. As the people approched the opposite side of the field there were many vans of riot police arriving in adjacent streets and deploying to meet the protestors. There were even van loads of police getting changed into their riot gear on the M4 motorway before scrambling up the bank. As protestors moved along the fence or tried to climb out of the field the police attacked them with batons and shields. I saw several hit, punched, repeatedly thrown to the ground, pushed into ditches, and sworn at. Over the next 15 minutes more and more riot police kept arriving (something like 100), many running into the field following mounted police that had galloped into a gap in the fence. Police prevented media from entering the field and a high hedge prevented them filming the scenes in the field.
The police officers were clearly hyped up after days of sitting around waiting for this demonstration. They lashed out against peaceful demonstrators without cause or provocation. Many protestors managed to keep skirting the field trying to get away from the chasing riot police, althouth two groups got surrounded and detained for several hours. Many managed to get over to the BAA building for the demonstration there.

I have been experiencing great success with the Wai diet over the last six months. There is just one thing that does not seem to fit me, and I am wondering if other people have had the same problem - I have a very sensitive stomach, and whenever I drink orange juice (or juice from any other acid fruit) my stomach starts aching. Do you know if there is anything one can do about this? So far I have been doing fine on juicing melons, but they contain much less calories than oranges and it would be nice with some variation. Also, I love the taste of oranges. Oh bummer.
AAP Fruit juice is broadly good for your health but an Australian study has shown that for many people it can upset their stomach. An Adelaide-based study has identified a high rate of people known as "fructose malabsorbers" - that is their body has difficulty processing the natural sugar contained in the juice.
Professor Ross Butler said these people can experience some unpleasant side-effects if they drink too much of a high fructose-content juice, such as apple juice. "It may be abdominal pain, it may be bloating, it may be flatulence, it may be diarrhoea. in this case you'd think it would be more like diarrhoea symptoms," said Prof Butler, who is chair of pediatric research at the University of South Australia's Sansom Institute. "What we don't have at the moment is a really good way of gauging an individual's threshold for it. " The study, involving the city's Women's and Children's Hospital, took in 1,000 children and adults who had visited their GP to report digestive problems.
It found 80 per cent of the children aged under one tested positive for fructose malabsorption. Fructose was the cause of intestinal woes for 40 per cent of those aged one to six years. Prof Butler said the reducing incidence suggested you could grow out of it, but for many the problem was life-long. Just over 30 per cent of teenagers and adults in the study were found to also have a problem digesting fructose. Prof Butler said the strength of the finding indicated that fructose malabsorption could be a major contributor to irritable bowel syndrome, a problem which affects one in five Australians. It was not yet known if the rising use of fructose as a natural alternative to ordinary sugar in food products could trigger the same digestive problems, he said.
Prof Butler also said the message for parents was not to avoid giving juice to their children, but instead to opt for a low fructose content juice if they encountered a problem. Juice also contains glucose - sugar in a form the body is much more familiar with and much less likely to cause a problem. "Different fruit juices could resolve the problem and different juices could trigger it," he said. "Apple juice is something like two to one (fructose to glucose) while grape juice is closer to (being equal). " University of South Australia PhD candidate Hilary Jones will present the research at a summit for gastroenterologists in Sydney this week.
