What the Gribov copy tells on the confinment and the theory of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking

description: We performed lattice Landau gauge QCD simulation on β=6.0, 16^4, 24^4, 32^4 and β=6.4, 32^4, 48^4 and 56^4 by adopting the gauge fixing that minimizes the norm of the gauge field, and measured the running coupling by using the gluon propagator and the ghost propagator. In view of ambiguity in the vertex renormalization factor \tilde Z_1 in the lattice, we adjust the normalization of the running coupling by the perturbative QCD results near the highest momentum point. It has a maximum α_s(q)~ 2.1(3) at around q=0.5 GeV and decreases as q approaches 0, and the Kugo-Ojima parameter reached -0.83(2). The infrared exponent of the ghost propagator at 0.4GeV region is α_G=0.20 but there is an exceptional Gribov copy with α_G=0.27. The features of the exceptional Gribov copy are investigated by measuring four one-dimensional Fourier transform(1-d FT) of the gluon propagator transverse to each lattice axis. We observe, in general, correlation between absolute value of the Kugo-Ojima parameter and the degree of reflection positivity violation in the 1-d FT of the gluon propagator. The 1-d FT of the exceptional Gribov copy has an axis whose gluon propagator manifestly violates reflection positivity, and the average of the Cartan subalgebra components of the Kugo-Ojima parameter along this axis is consistent to -1. The running coupling of the enemble average shows a suppression at 0 momentum, but when the ghost propagator of the exceptional Gribov copy is adopted, the suppression disappears and the data implies presence of the infrared fixed point α_s(0)~ 2.5(5) and κ=0.5 suggested by the Dyson-Schwinger approach in the multiplicative renormalizable scheme. Comparison with the SU(2) QCD and N_f=2 unquenched SU(3) QCD are also made.

description: Hungary, this small and open economy with limited natural resources, tries to build its future on creativity and innovation. At the same time, the country has declared in its basic law a categorical prohibition on the application of genetically modified organisms. The aim of this study is to explain the causes of this obvious contradiction. The collection of expert estimations regarding the relative positions and attitudes of different actors has been carried out in the form of face-to-face interviews with 67 stakeholders in the agri-food sector, following a strictly neutral approach, not taking into consideration whether the respondents have taken positions for or against the application of genetically modified crops. In order to define the key actors in the GM regulation debate, their mutual influences and their goals. Based on this information, a quantitative model has been developed to determine the system of interests of different actors and the coalition(s) which develop among them around different goals. The results of the analysis emphasise that a wide coalition of anti-GMO actors has formed, consisting of researchers, NGOs, GM-free certifiers, the media and the parliamentary parties. However, their interests are quite different, as is their natural reluctance to accept new, partially unknown technology. The results of our investigations support the practical applicability of strategic position analysis, supported by modern expert-opinion based quantitative methods. The application of this approach offers a favourable possibility to determine the positions of various actors. Under these conditions, there is an urgent need to change the communication strategy of pro-GMO scientists and other stakeholders and instead of taking a defensive position, pro-active communication should be adopted.

description: This paper investigates the make-or-buy choice on the harvesting mechanization transaction in Brazilian coffee production. It empirically tests this organization choice following the transaction attributes of asset specificity, uncertainty and path dependence. Using a two-stage probit model conditioned by credit availability in a sample of 105 coffee growers in Brazil, our study evidences that the governance decision follows the efficient alignment argument of the Transaction Cost Economics. The research contributes to the understanding of institutional arrangements in place at coffee grower perspective. An additional descriptive field investigation presented the existence of three different types of arrangement as a solution for coffee harvesting mechanization: total vertical integration (make), outsourcing contracts (buy) and tapped vertical integration. Those results demonstrate a shift from a spot transaction pattern to more sophisticated contractual tools. We present managerial implications by illustrating the determinants of each decision, either make or buy, in the harvesting mechanization transaction in coffee production which can provide support to efficient strategies elaboration by farmers or service providers.

With the literature review, the study considered what other writers had written concerning the topic under study. The study found out that majority of the pastors of the Pentecostal churches said God had called them to plant churches. A patron in a Orthodox Church said church planting fulfil the Scriptural mandate and a member of a Orthodox Church declared that church planting helped to win more souls and made the church to grow numberically. The study generalized that ministers of God planted churches  with the motive to win souls for Christ. The study recommended that ministers of God who planted churches should study good books on church planting in order to lay the foundation of their churches on Christ Jesus. They must fast and pray so that  they would be filled with the Holy Spirit

description: The growth of modern agrifood markets, especially in Indonesia, has stimulated entrepreneurially oriented farmers to seize business opportunities through innovation. This paper aims to investigate in a dynamic agrifood market if entrepreneurial orientation enhances innovation adoption and generation and if both of these actions enhance product innovation and, eventually, farm revenues of vegetable farmers in West Java, Indonesia. The findings demonstrate that entrepreneurial orientation enhances innovation adoption and generation, which in turn enhance product innovation. Finally, product innovation enhances farm revenues. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of innovation in facilitating entrepreneurially oriented farmers to perform better when facing a dynamic market. Entrepreneurial orientation enables farmers to innovate by taking risks to anticipate future demand, through either adoption of available innovations or generation of their own innovations, and both options result in new or improved products and eventually enhanced farm revenues.

We also investigate the ATCA's susceptibility to polarisation leakage. Methods: We performed a survey of a 5.6 deg$^{2}$ subregion and calculated the number density of polarised sources. We derived the total and polarised spectral indices, in addition to comparing our source positions with those of X-ray-detected clusters. We measured the polarisation of sources in multiple pointings to examine leakage in the ATCA. Results: We find 39 polarised sources, involving 50 polarised source components, above a polarised flux density limit of 0.2 mJy at 1.332 GHz. The number density of polarised source components is comparable with recent surveys, although there is an indication of an excess at $\sim1$ mJy. We find that those sources coincident with X-ray clusters are consistent in their properties with regard to the general population. In terms of the ATCA leakage response, we find that ATCA mosaics with beam separation of $\lesssim 2/3$ of the primary beam FWHM have off-axis linear polarisation leakage $\lesssim 1.4$ % at 1.332 GHz.

description: Multiple methods to improve reliability of results when using willingness-to-pay (WTP) to evaluate consumer preferences have been developed. This study compared methods of accounting for attribute non-attendance (ANA) in WTP for food product attributes. Both inferred and stated ANA were studied and estimates of WTP for pork chop and bacon attributes were compared. A larger number of significant differences were found between stated or inferred ANA corrected models than between corrected and uncorrected models. Significant correlations between inferred and stated ANA were not present and WTP estimates from correcting for inferred ANA (IANA) or stated ANA were statistically different from one another. Exploring WTP estimates across ANA corrected models is imperative for improving models to provide insight into consumer preferences. These insights can be used in making production decisions in order to meet consumer demands and inconsistent results can lead to conflicting business decisions.
Kondo effect in systems with dynamical symmetries

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: This paper is devoted to a systematic exposure of the Kondo physics in quantum dots for which the low energy spin excitations consist of a few different spin multiplets $|S_{i}M_{i}>$. Under certain conditions (to be explained below) some of the lowest energy levels $E_{S_{i}}$ are nearly degenerate. The dot in its ground state cannot then be regarded as a simple quantum top in the sense that beside its spin operator other dot (vector) operators ${\bf R}_{n}$ are needed (in order to fully determine its quantum states), which have non-zero matrix elements between states of different spin multiplets $ \ne 0$. These "Runge-Lenz" operators do not appear in the isolated dot-Hamiltonian (so in some sense they are "hidden"). Yet, they are exposed when tunneling between dot and leads is switched on. The effective spin Hamiltonian which couples the metallic electron spin ${\bf s}$ with the operators of the dot then contains new exchange terms, $J_{n} {\bf s} \cdot {\bf R}_{n}$ beside the ubiquitous ones $J_{i} {\bf s}\cdot {\bf S}_{i}$. The operators ${\bf S}_{i}$ and ${\bf R}_{n}$ generate a dynamical group (usually SO(n)). Remarkably, the value of $n$ can be controlled by gate voltages, indicating that abstract concepts such as dynamical symmetry groups are experimentally realizable. Moreover, when an external magnetic field is applied then, under favorable circumstances, the exchange interaction involves solely the Runge-Lenz operators ${\bf R}_{n}$ and the corresponding dynamical symmetry group is SU(n). For example, the celebrated group SU(3) is realized in triple quantum dot with four electrons.

description: Cassava is one of the most important staple food crops in Nigeria. It is one of the priority food crops necessary for improved food security and poverty reduction in Nigeria. The study investigated the determinants of food security and technical efficiency of cassava farmers in Ondo State, Nigeria using Food Security index, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Heckman probit model. The study used primary data and a multistage sampling technique was used to randomly select 120 respondents. Findings revealed that 43% of the respondents were food secured. The shortfall and surplus indices were 0.13 and 0.20 respectively. DEA results indicated that about 80% of the respondents had technical efficiency above 0.50 while the average technical efficiency was 0.83. The results of Heckman probit model also showed that farming experience, education, age, cassava output, number of dependants, access to credit, access to extension agent, distance to farm and farm size were the factors that influenced technical efficiency and food security in the study area. It is therefore concluded that improving technical efficiency of the cassava farmers will be an antidote to the problem of food insecurity in the area. This can be achieved by improving agricultural extension services as well as the educational background of the farmers to strengthen the activities of the Agricultural Credit Schemes policy to grant more loans to farmers at a low interest rate for increased productivity and subsequent increase in technical efficiency thereby improving food security further in Ondo State.

description: This paper conducts an exploratory analysis on the role of social capital in influencing both economic and social performance of farmer cooperatives based on a sample of 156 farmers from 54 vegetable cooperatives in China’s Hebei and Zhejiang provinces. Social capital is distinguished into bonding and bridging dimensions, with the former referring to the internal aspect of social capital and the latter the external “Guanxi” (meaning relationship) possessed by core members. The statistical results display that specific dimensions of social capital may not deliver the benefits expected by cooperative practitioners and academics. Both positive and negative effects of social capital on performances of farmer cooperatives are observed. To be specific, bonding social capital is positively associated with common members’ economic benefits. Bridging social capital generates beneficial outcomes for the financial and social performances of cooperatives, while exhibiting negative influence on common members’ income increase because of member heterogeneity.

description: Major events are frequently championed as engines of economic growth, urban renewal, and global prestige. Yet beneath the surface of celebration lies a persistent inequity: socioeconomically disadvantaged communities can often experience minimal, if any, lasting benefit. This article explores how major events—such as the Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games—can reinforce structural inequalities by excluding marginalized groups from planning processes, displacing residents through gentrification, and offering only short-term, precarious employment opportunities. Drawing on examples from London 2012 and Birmingham 2022, the article examines who benefits, who remains neglected, and how legacy promises often fall short. It argues for a more strategic, inclusive, and data-informed approach that embeds social equity into the DNA of event planning. Practical recommendations are offered to ensure major events deliver measurable, long-term benefits for all communities—not just the privileged few. By doing so, host cities can turn symbolic gestures of inclusion into meaningful, systemic change.

description: Against the conventional picture that the mass matrix forms in the quark sectors will take somewhat different structures from those in the lepton sectors, a possibility that all the mass matrices of quarks and leptons have the same form as in the neutrinos is investigated. For the lepton sectors, the model leads to a nearly bimaximal mixing with the prediction |U_{e3}|^2=m_e/2m_μ=0.0024 and \tan^2θ_{sol} \simeq m_{ν1}/m_{ν2}, and so on. For the quark sectors, it can lead to reasonable values of the CKM mixing matrix and masses: |V_{us}|\simeq \sqrt{m_d/m_s}, |V_{ub}| \simeq |V_{cb}|\sqrt{m_u/m_c}, |V_{td}| \simeq |V_{cb}|\cdot |V_{us}|, and so on.

description: We present a new open-source code that calculates one-loop power auto- and cross-power spectra for matter fields and biased tracers in real and redshift space. These spectra incorporate all ingredients required for a direct application to data: non-linear bias, redshift-space distortions, infra-red resummation, counterterms, and the Alcock-Paczynski effect. Our code is based on the Boltzmann solver CLASS and inherits its advantage: user friendliness, ease of modification, high speed, and simple interface with other software. We present detailed descriptions of the theoretical model, the code structure, approximations, and accuracy tests. A typical end-to-end run for one cosmology takes $\sim 0.3$ seconds, which is sufficient for Markov Chain Monte Carlo parameter extraction. As an example, we apply the code to data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) and infer cosmological parameters from the shape of the galaxy power spectrum.

description: With a different emphasis in developing and industrialized countries, the main target of agricultural policy is the small farmer. Although he has hardly been exactly defined, he is supposed to be poor - he is, in­variably - and, with the help of a great variety of instruments extend­ing from strengthening supporting services to price subsidies, govern­ments have been trying to improve the lot of the smallholder in agricul­ture. For some countries, this may be lip service, but in many others, it really is the goal of governments to improve the situation of this target group.

City-University Partnerships in Implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals at a Local Level
Creators: name: Rankmore, Sydney
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is regarded as a triumph of multilateralism. The Agenda lays out 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. To achieve the ambitious vision of the SDGs requires action and transformation of the private sector and civil society. Both cities and universities play an important role in operationalizing the SDGs at a local level. Tackling complex sustainability challenges facing our cities today can be strengthened through partnership. To accelerate progress, cities can leverage partnerships with local universities. As demonstrated in this report, strong partnerships with universities can increase staff capacity and provide valuable expertise to produce knowledge-based policy decisions. Further, engaging with the SDGs can greatly benefit both universities and cities. Utilizing the SDG framework can help elevate local priorities to a global scale, providing a common definition and language for sustainability and facilitating partnerships internally, at a local and global scale. There is no one right way to create a successful city-university partnership (CUP). This study demonstrates how cities and universities respectively can engage with the SDG framework, as well as the benefits of creating a city-university partnership in implementing the SDGs at a local level. This study will provide examples of successful and productive CUPs and provide recommendations for approaching a CUP between the City of Vancouver and the University of British Columbia in implementing the SDGs at a local level.
The energies and ANCs for 5Li resonances deduced from experimental p-$α$ scattering phase shifts using the effective-range and $Δ$ methods
Creators: name: Orlov, Yu. V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: Recently a new $Δ$ method for deducing the energy and asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) from phase-shift data has been formulated and applied to resonance states. This differs from the conventional effective-range function (ERF) method by fitting only the nuclear part of the ERF. It also differs from the method which was proposed for bound states by Ramírez Suárez and Sparenberg (see Ref. below) which also named the $Δ$ method where a pole condition defines by the Eq. $Δ_l=0$ ($Δ_l$ is the function in the ERF determined only by the scattering phase shift). Here the standard pole condition, including the Coulomb part into the relate equation, is used for a resonant state. It has been shown that the ERF method does not work for large-charge colliding nuclei. Moreover, even for lower charges it is not clear that the results of the ERF method are accurately enough. The Coulomb part forms a background, which smooths an ERF energy dependence. Therefore, one needs to find when the ERF method becomes inaccurate and this requires recalculating some published results by the $Δ$ method. This project has already been started in a recent paper for resonances in the $α$-$α$ scattering. Here this method is applied using the $Δ_l$-function fittings to the experimental $p$-${}^4$He scattering phase-shift data in the $P_{3/2}$ and $P_{1/2}$ resonance states. The calculation results are compared with those obtained earlier by the ERF method. The main changes concern resonance energy and width.

description: In this Letter we further develop the proposed approach of optical manipulation based on the interactions of non-linear optical effects with nanoparticles. The interaction of the dissipative optical solitons with nanoparticles is studied numerically. It is shown that the attraction of the nanoparticles to the solitons can result in the formation of a stable bound state of the solitons and the nanoparticles. The collision of the solitons with different numbers of trapped particles is studied, and it is shown that the collision of the solitons can result in releasing or redistributing the nanoparticles between the solitons. It is demonstrated that the particle mediated interaction between the solitons can affect their dynamics significantly. The reported effects can be successfully used for optical manipulation of nanoparticles and pave a way for efficient control over their dynamics on nanoscale.

description: We have observed the 8-13 $μ$m spectrum (R$\sim$250) of the Vega-like star candidate HD145263 using Subaru/COMICS. The spectrum of HD145263 shows the broad trapezoidal silicate feature with the shoulders at 9.3 $μ$m and 11.44 $μ$m, indicating the presence of crystalline silicate grains. This detection implies that crystalline silicate may also be commonly present around Vega-like stars. The 11.44 $μ$m feature is slightly shifted to a longer wavelength compared to the usual 11.2-3 $μ$m crystalline forsterite feature detected toward Herbig Ae/Be stars and T Tauri stars. Although the peak shift due to the effects of the grain size can not be ruled out, we suggest that Fe-bearing crystalline olivine explains the observed peak wavelength fairly well. Fe-bearing silicates are commonly found in meteorites and most interplanetary dust particles, which originate from planetesimal-like asteroids. According to studies of meteorites, Fe-bearing silicate must have been formed in asteroidal planetesimals, supporting the scenario that dust grains around Vega-like stars are of planetesimal origin, if the observed 11.44 $μ$m peak is due to Fe-bearing silicates.

description: The performance of modern quantum devices in communication, metrology or microscopy relies on the quantum-classical interaction which is generally described by the theory of decoherence. Despite the high relevance for long coherence times in quantum electronics, decoherence mechanisms mediated by the Coulomb force are not well understood yet and several competing theoretical models exist. Here, we present an experimental study of the Coulomb-induced decoherence of free electrons in a superposition state in a biprism electron interferometer close to a semiconducting and metallic surface. The decoherence was determined through a contrast loss at different beam path separations, surface distances and conductibilities. To clarify the current literature discussion, four theoretical models were compared to our data. We could rule out three of them and got good agreement with a theory based on macroscopic quantum electrodynamics. The results will enable the determination and minimization of specific decoherence channels in the design of novel quantum instruments.

The Information Pendulum How a Swing Between Healing and Entropy Inspired the Persistence Equation
Creators: name: Giannakopoulos, Bill
Publisher: name: OSF
Year: 2025

description: Somewhere between decay and memory, between the burn of entropy and the balm of structure, an idea began to form — an idea that the universe persists not because it must, but because it can swing back.
This essay tells the story of that idea — the Persistence Equation, and the conceptual arc that birthed it. It did not emerge from formal mathematics. It emerged from intuition, biology, thermodynamics, and a sense of how systems fall apart — and how they sometimes don't.

description: Purpose: The metabolic drug–drug interactions (mDDIs) are one of the most important challenges faced by the pharmaceutical industry during the drug development stage and are frequently associated with labeling restrictions and withdrawal of drugs. The capacity of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to absorb and upgrade with the newly available information on drug and population-specific parameters, makes them a preferred choice over the conventional pharmacokinetic models for predicting mDDIs. Method: A PBPK model capable of predicting the stereo-selective disposition of carvedilol after administering paroxetine by incorporating mechanism (time) based inhibition of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 was developed by using the population-based absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) simulator, Simcyp®. Results: The model predictions for both carvedilol enantiomers were in close agreement with the observed PK data, as the ratios for observed/predicted PK parameters were within the 2-fold error range. The developed PBPK model was successful in capturing an increase in exposures of R and S-carvedilol, due to the time-based inhibition of CYP2D6 enzyme caused by paroxetine. Conclusion: The developed model can be used for exploring complex clinical scenarios, where multiple drugs are given concurrently, particularly in diseased populations where no clinical trial data is available.

description: To train health professionals for patient-centered care, patient engagement in medical curriculum development and assessment is widely recommended. But there are few published methods on how to consult with patients effectively, particularly when creating entrustable professional activities (EPAs). In this mixed-method study, we developed a questionnaire for facilitating patient input when developing EPA assessment criteria. We developed a questionnaire for documenting patient expectations of their doctors which included: patient interviews to identify questionnaire items, expert validation, cognitive interviews with respondents, and finally, pilot testing. For the pilot testing, 87 participants with a variety of health problems from medical/surgical wards and outpatient clinics at a tertiary hospital were recruited. The final questionnaire included open-ended and ranking-style questions. Using the questionnaire, patients could identify their key expectations of their doctors when managing their current medical problem. Most patients wrote clear, brief free-text responses directly applicable to EPA descriptors that were time-efficient to analyze. The questionnaire is a feasible method of recording patient expectations, enabling educators to consult with and include patient perspectives when developing criteria for entrustment decisions in a diverse range of clinical contexts.
Variational ansatz for $p$-wave fermions confined in a one-dimensional harmonic trap

description: We propose a very accurate and efficient variational scheme for the ground state of the system of $p$-wave attractively interacting fermions confined in a one-dimensional harmonic trap. By the construction, the method takes the non-analytical part of interactions exactly into account and thus it approximates the true ground-state wave function in a whole range of interactions very accurately. Within the method, we determine different properties of the system for a different number of particles and different interactions. In this way, we explore how the system and its features transit from the ideal non-interacting Fermi gas to the system of infinitely strong attractions. Additionally, we demonstrate that the ansatz may also be used on a repulsive branch of interactions where other numerical methods break down. The presented method of including zero-range interactions is very universal and may be easily generalized to other one-dimensional confinements.

Causal perturbation theory in terms of retarded products, and a proof of the Action Ward Identity

description: In the framework of perturbative algebraic quantum field theory a local construction of interacting fields in terms of retarded products is performed, based on earlier work of Steinmann. In our formalism the entries of the retarded products are local functionals of the off shell classical fields, and we prove that the interacting fields depend only on the action and not on terms in the Lagrangian which are total derivatives, thus providing a proof of Stora's 'Action Ward Identity'. The theory depends on free parameters which flow under the renormalization group. This flow can be derived in our local framework independently of the infrared behavior, as was first established by Hollands and Wald. We explicitly compute non-trivial examples for the renormalization of the interaction and the field.

description: Depth images captured by off-the-shelf RGB-D cameras suffer from much stronger noise than color images. In this paper, we propose a method to denoise the depth images in RGB-D images by color-guided graph filtering. Our iterative method contains two components: color-guided similarity graph construction, and graph filtering on the depth signal. Implemented in graph vertex domain, filtering is accelerated as computation only occurs among neighboring vertices. Experimental results show that our method outperforms state-of-art depth image denoising methods significantly both on quality and efficiency.

description: The impact of production uncertainty on factor-augmenting technical change is examined by using and Ito stochastic control model. The results indicate that technical progress will be biased toward risk-reducing inputs and against risk-increasing inputs. This bias may reinforce or counteract the bias caused by relative input price movements.
