description: Women play an important role in agricultural production and marketing in PNG. However, their contribution to the local economy and household livelihoods has not been maximised due to the lack of support. This study, funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, identifies issues facing PNG women farmers in the highlands in their endeavour to generate income from sweet potato marketing. Two group discussions were held in Goroka and Mount Hagen. The results indicate that specific marketing issues facing women farmers are: heavy work load, high cost and unreliable transport, poor facilities at the open markets, harassment and violence against women and uneven distribution of income within the household. Group marketing, based on the CI&I process to improve business and marketing skills, appears to be a possible solution to many of the problems facing women farmers.

description: The formation of plasma crystals confined in an external one-dimensional parabolic potential well is simulated for a normal experimental environment employing a computer code called BOXITREE. Under appropriate conditions, crystals were found to form layered systems. The system's structural phase transitions, including transitions between crystals with differing numbers of layers and the same number of layers but different intralayer structures, were investigated and found to agree with previous theoretical and experimental research results. One- to two-layer transitions were examined in detail and shown to start at the point where the out-of-plane lattice instability appears. The resulting three layer system caused by this instability was observed at the center of the system. Finally, growth rates for this out-of-plane lattice instability were obtained using the BOXITREE simulation with these results shown to agree with those obtained from analytical theory.

description: Nos últimos anos têm sido realizados vários trabalhos de investigação no âmbito do comportamento de vigas metálicas expostas a incêndios localizados. Estes trabalhos deram origem aos métodos simplificados para o cálculo das temperaturas em lajes e vigas apresentados na EN 1991-1-2:2002. No entanto, ainda não existem modelos para o cálculo das temperaturas em pilares de aço. O trabalho aqui apresentado debruça-se sobre a análise térmica em pilares de aço expostos a incêndios localizados, apresentando-se uma campanha experimental à escala real em pilares tubulares de aço nesta situação. De modo a estabelecer correlações de transferência de calor, foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: carga térmica, posições do incêndio e condições de ventilação. Os resultados experimentais foram analisados e comparados com os obtidos analiticamente.

description: This paper examined the changing structure of farms in Kansas. Specifically, changes in farm size, farm type, financial performance, and economies of size were examined using five-year moving averages from 1973 to 2007. Convergence analysis was used to determine whether small farms are catching up to larger farms or whether the difference in performance between these two groups of farms was widening. Results suggested that the gaps between the small farms and large farms have widened.

description: The Universe is awash with tens-of-MeV neutrinos of all species coming from all past core-collapse supernovae. These have never been observed, but this state of affairs will change in the near future. In the less than ten years, the Super-Kamiokande experiment, loaded with gadolinium, is expected to collect dozens of events induced by the scattering of neutrinos from the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB). Next-generation projects, including Hyper-Kamiokande and Theia, are expected to collect data samples with hundreds of DSNB events after a decade of running. Here, we study quantitatively how well the DSNB, including its energy spectrum, will be measured by different current or upcoming large neutrino detectors. We analyze the simulated data in order to estimate how well measurements of the DSNB can be used to inform research topics in cosmology -- including measurements of the Hubble parameter -- astrophysics -- including the star-formation-rate -- and particle physics -- including the neutrino lifetime and the possibility that neutrinos are pseudo-Dirac fermions.

description: We set up a series of self-consistent N-body simulations to investigate the fundamental plane of merger remnants of spiral galaxies. These last ones are obtained from a theoretical Tully-Fisher relation at z=1, assuming a constant mass-to-light ratio within the LambdaCDM cosmogony. Using a Sersic growth curve and an orthogonal fitting method, we found that the fundamental plane of our merger remnants is described by the relation Re ~ sigma^{1.48} Ie^{-0.75} which is in good agreement with that reported from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Re ~ sigma^{1.49} Ie^{-0.75}. However, the R^{1/4}-profile leads to a fundamental plane given by Re ~ sigma^{1.79} Ie^{-0.60}. In general, the correlation found in our merger remnants arises from homology breaking (V^2 ~ sigma^nu, Rg ~ Re^eta) in combination with a mass scaling relation between the total and luminous mass, $M ~ ML^gamma. Considering an orthogonal fitting method, it is found that 1.74

description: Experiments with polarized 3He at MAMI have already a long tradition. The A3 collaboration started in 1993 with the aim to measure the electric form factor of the neutron. At this time MAMI was the second accelerator where experiments with 3He were possible. Some years before this pilot experiment the development of the apparatus to polarize 3He in Mainz started. There are two techniques which allow to polarize sufficient large quantities of 3He. Both techniques will be compared and the benefit of 3He for nuclear physics will be discussed. An review of the experiments done so far with 3He at MAMI will be given and the progress in the target development, the detector setup and the electron beam performance will be pointed out.

Based on a data sample of 122.1 million BBbar pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B factory, we obtain branching fractions for these modes, including the previously unseen decays B -> DsJ(*)+ D*. In addition, we perform an angular analysis of DsJ(2460)+ -> Ds+ gamma decays to test the different DsJ(2460)+ spin hypotheses.

Power Analysis of Exposure Mixture Studies Via Monte Carlo Simulations

Publisher: name: Springer Nature
Year: 2023

description:
Estimating sample size and statistical power is an essential part of a good epidemiological study design. Closed-form formulas exist for simple hypothesis tests but not for advanced statistical methods designed for exposure mixture studies. Estimating power with Monte Carlo simulations is flexible and applicable to these methods. However, it is not straightforward to code a simulation for non-experienced programmers and is often hard for a researcher to manually specify multivariate associations among exposure mixtures to set up a simulation. To simplify this process, we present the R package mpower for power analysis of observational studies of environmental exposure mixtures involving recently developed mixtures analysis methods. The components within mpower are also versatile enough to accommodate any mixtures methods that will be developed in future. The package allows users to simulate realistic exposure data and mixed-typed covariates based on public dataset such as the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey or other existing dataset from prior studies. Users can generate power curves to assess the trade-offs between sample size, effect size, and power of a design. This paper presents tutorials and examples of power analysis using mpower.

It is based in separating the horizontal and vertical directions, reducing the problem by working with one-dimension wavefronts. The validity conditions of this approximation are discussed. Simulations require low computer resources, and run interactively in a laptop. We study the focusing with lenses of the radiation emitted by an undulator in a fourth-generation storage ring (EBS-ESRF). Results are compared against multiple optics packages implementing a variety of methods for dealing with partial coherence: full 2D coherent mode decomposition, Monte-Carlo combination of wavefronts from electrons entering the undulator with different initial conditions, and hybrid ray-tracing correcting geometrical optics with wave optics.

Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2023

description:
The growing prevalence of tensor data, or multiway arrays, in science and engineering applications motivates the need for tensor decompositions that are robust against outliers. In this paper, we present a robust Tucker decomposition estimator based on the L2 criterion, called the Tucker-L2E. Our numerical experiments demonstrate that Tucker-L2E has empirically stronger recovery performance in more challenging high-rank scenarios compared with existing alternatives. The appropriate Tucker-rank can be selected in a data-driven manner with cross-validation or hold-out validation. The practical effectiveness of Tucker-L2E is validated on real data applications in fMRI tensor denoising, PARAFAC analysis of fluorescence data, and feature extraction for classification of corrupted images.

description: Face masks muffle speech and make communication more difficult, especially for people with hearing loss. This study examines the acoustic attenuation caused by different face masks, including medical, cloth, and transparent masks, using a head-shaped loudspeaker and a live human talker. The results suggest that all masks attenuate frequencies above 1 kHz, that attenuation is greatest in front of the talker, and that there is substantial variation between mask types, especially cloth masks with different materials and weaves. Transparent masks have poor acoustic performance compared to both medical and cloth masks. Most masks have little effect on lapel microphones, suggesting that existing sound reinforcement and assistive listening systems may be effective for verbal communication with masks.

description:
Background: Older adults frequently participate in behavior change studies, yet it is not clear how to quantify a potential relationship between their perception of the intervention and its efficacy. Research Aim: We assessed the relationship between participant sentiment toward the intervention from follow-up interviews with physical activity and questionnaires for the perception of health. Methods: Sentiment was calculated using the transcripts of exit interviews through a bag of words approach defined as the sum of positive and negative words in 28 older adults with obesity (body mass index ≥30kg/m2). Results: Mean age was 73 years (82% female), and 54% lost ≥5% weight loss. Through linear regression we describe a significant association between positive sentiment about the intervention and weight loss; positive sentiment on technology and change in PROMIS-10 physical health and reduced physical activity time, while controlling for sex and age. Conclusions: This analysis demonstrates that sentiment analysis and natural language processing in program review identified an association between perception and topics with clinical outcomes.

We also define a family of natural endomorphisms of the identity endofunctor on a $k$-linear semisimple rigid monoidal category, which we call the Frobenius-Schur endomorphisms. For a $k$-linear semisimple pivotal monoidal category -- where both notions are defined --, the Frobenius-Schur indicators can be computed as traces of the Frobenius-Schur endomorphisms.

description: The XENON1T experiment has recently announced the observation of an excess in electron recoil events at energy range of $1-7$ keV with a $3.5~σ$ signal significance over the Standard Model prediction. In this letter we sketch the prospects of explaining such an excess from Migdal ionization events with below threshold nuclear recoil energies. Interestingly, these are expected to show signal events in the ballpark energy scale of the observed excess. We demonstrate that the observed signal can be reproduced through the Migdal effect by an $\mathcal{O}(1)$ GeV neutron-philic dark matter having a spin-dependent coupling with the nucleus. A more optimistic scenario is explored where the Migdal ionization is driven by MeV scale boosted dark matter.

description: We present a paralell approach to discrete geometry: the first one introduces Voronoi cell complexes from statistical tessellations in order to know the mean scalar curvature in term of the mean number of edges of a cell. The second one gives the restriction of a graph from a regular tessellation in order to calculate the curvature from pure combinatorial properties of the graph. Our proposal is based in some epistemological pressupositions: the macroscopic continuous geometry is only a fiction, very usefull for describing phenomena at certain sacales, but it is only an approximation to the true geometry. In the discrete geometry one starts from a set of elements and the relation among them without presuposing space and time as a background.

description: This paper presents studies of the performance of water-based liquid scintillator in both 1-kt and 50-kt detectors. Performance is evaluated in comparison to both pure water Cherenkov detectors and a nominal model for pure scintillator detectors. Performance metrics include energy, vertex, and angular resolution, along with a metric for ability to separate the Cherenkov from the scintillation signal, as being representative of various particle identification capabilities that depend on the Cherenkov / scintillation ratio. We also modify the time profile of scintillation light to study the same performance metrics as a function of rise and decay time. We go on to interpret these results in terms of their impact on certain physics goals, such as solar neutrinos and the search for Majorana neutrinos. This work supports and validates previous results, and the assumptions made therein, by using a more complete detector model and full reconstruction. We confirm that a high-coverage, 50-kt detector would be capable of better than 10 (1)\% precision on the CNO neutrino flux with a WbLS (pure LS) target in 5 years of data taking. A 1-kt LS detector, with a conservative 50\% fiducial volume of 500~t, can achieve a better than 5\% detection. Using the liquid scintillator model, we find a sensitivity into the normal hierarchy region for Majorana neutrinos, with half life sensitivity of $T^{0νββ}_{1/2} > 1.4 \times 10^{28}$ years at 90\% CL for 10 years of data taking with a Te-loaded target.
Pragmatics Analysis of the Selected Kafi of Khawaja Ghulam Fareed

Year: 2024

description: The study provides an in-depth analysis of the speaker's emotional trajectory, characterized by their tragic separation from a significant person and their profound relationship with the supernatural realm. The speaker conveys his willingness to persevere through adversity clearly and convincingly while enthusiastically praising the sacred and faultless character of the Divine home. It is characterized by a qualitative method, and its primary objective is to offer an explanatory explanation of the phenomena that are being investigated. The field of pragmatics is subjected to an in-depth investigation in this work, with an emphasis placed on fundamental aspects, including pragmatics, speech acts, hyperbole, metaphorical language, and assertive speech acts. Deconstructing these pieces is part of the analysis, so that the subtle levels of importance contained within the text may be uncovered. It highlights the tremendous significance linked with the black covering and depicts it as a powerful symbol of cohesiveness despite the many variations. The author alludes in the passage to the possibility that going to the sanctuary can offer solace and result in the abandonment of grief, stressing the transformational possibilities linked with this activity. In addition, It investigates the speaker's enhanced emotional state of melancholy when considering the recollections of the House of God. This method of self-reflection provokes thought on the ephemeral nature of human existence, giving birth to profound philosophical musings. Research elucidates the complex feelings, profound contemplations, and symbolic depth inherent in the speaker's utterances by illuminating the myriad of different parts of pragmatics in the text.

description: The decays of non-strange negative parity baryons via the emission of single $π$ and $η$ mesons are analyzed in the framework of the $1/N_c$ expansion. A basis of spin-flavor operators for the partial wave amplitudes is established to order $1/N_c$ and the unknown effective coefficients are determined by fitting to the S- and D-wave partial widths as provided by the Particle Data Group. A set of relations between widths that result at the leading order, i.e. order $N_c^0$, is given and tested with the available data. Up to a few exceptions, a good description of the partial decays widths is already obtained at that order. Because of the rather large errors in the empirical input data the next to leading order fit fails to pin down with satisfactory accuracy the subleading effective coefficients. The hierarchy expected from the $1/N_c$ expansion is reflected in the results.

description: Raman lasers based on bulk diamond are a valuable resource for generating coherent light in wavelength regimes where no common laser diodes are available. Nevertheless, the widespread use of such lasers is limited by their high threshold power requirements on the order of several Watts. Using on-chip microresonators, a significant reduction of the lasing threshold by more than two orders of magnitude has been shown. However, these resonators lack a continuous tuning mechanism and, mainly due to fabrication limitations, their implementation in the visible remains elusive. Here, we propose a platform for a diamond Raman laser in the visible. The device is based on a miniaturized, open-access Fabry-Perot cavity. Our microcavity provides widely-tunable doubly-resonant enhancement of Raman scattering from high quality single-crystalline diamond. We demonstrate a $>$THz continuous tuning range of doubly-resonant Raman scattering, a range limited only by the reflective stopband of the mirrors. Based on the experimentally determined quality factors exceeding $300\,000$, our theoretical analysis suggests that, with realistic improvements, a sub-mW threshold is readily within reach. Our findings pave the way to the creation of a universal low-power frequency shifter, a potentially valuable addition to the nonlinear optics toolbox.

description:
Wide inequities in stress and health have been documented between Black and White women and men in the United States. This study asks: How does religion factor into these inequities? We approach this open question from a biopsychosocial perspective, developing three hypotheses for the stress-coping effects of religiosity between groups. We then test our hypotheses with survey and biomarker data from the Nashville Stress and Health Study (2011–2014), a probability sample of Black and White women and men from Davidson County, Tennessee. We find that Black women score the highest on all indicators of religiosity, followed by Black men, White women, and White men. We also find that increased divine control and religious coping predict higher levels of resiliency biomarkers for Black women only and lower levels for White respondents, especially White men. We discuss how our findings inform broader population health inequities and outline several avenues for future research.

description: This research note documents estimation procedures and results for an empirical investigation of the performance of the recently developed spatial, heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) covariance estimator calibrated with different kernel bandwidths. The empirical example is concerned with a hedonic price model for residential property values. The first bandwidth approach varies an a priori determined plug-in bandwidth criterion. The second method is a data driven cross-validation approach to determine the optimal neighborhood. The third approach uses a robust semivariogram to determine the range over which residuals are spatially correlated. Inference becomes more conservative as the plug-in bandwidth is increased. The data-driven approaches prove valuable because they are capable of identifying the optimal spatial range, which can subsequently be used to inform the choice of an appropriate bandwidth value. In our empirical example, pertaining to a standard spatial model and ditto dataset, the results of the data driven procedures can only be reconciled with relatively high plug-in values (n0.65 or n0.75). The results for the semivariogram and the cross-validation approaches are very similar which, given its computational simplicity, gives the semivariogram approach an edge over the more flexible cross-validation approach.

description: A large number of observations from the Parkes 64\,m-diameter radio telescope, recorded with high time resolution, are publicly available. We have re-processed all of the observations obtained during the first four years (from 1997 to 2001) of the Parkes Multibeam receiver system in order to identify transient events and have built a database that records the 568,736,756 pulse candidates generated during this search. We have discovered a new fast radio burst (FRB), FRB~010305, with a dispersion measure of 350$\pm$5\,\,cm$^{-3}\,$pc and explored why so few FRBs have been discovered in data prior to 2001. After accounting for the dispersion smearing across the channel bandwidth and the sky regions surveyed, the number of FRBs is found to be consistent with model predictions. We also present five single pulse candidates from unknown sources, but with Galactic dispersion measures. We extract a diverse range of sources from the database, which can be used, for example, as a training set of data for new software being developed to search for FRBs in the presence of radio frequency interference.

description: As spectroscopic surveys continue to grow in size, the problem of classifying spectra targeted as quasars (QSOs) will need to move beyond its historical reliance on human experts. Instead, automatic classifiers will increasingly become the dominant classification method, leaving only small fractions of spectra to be visually inspected in ambiguous cases. In order to maximise classification accuracy, making best use of available classifiers will be of great importance, particularly when looking to identify and eliminate distinctive failure modes. In this work, we demonstrate that the machine learning-based classifier QuasarNET will be of use for future surveys such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), comparing its performance to the DESI pipeline classifier redrock. During the first of four passes across its footprint DESI will need to select high-$z$ ($z\geq2.1$) QSOs for reobservation, and so we first assess the classifiers' performance at identifying high-$z$ QSOs from single-exposure spectra. We then quantify the classifiers' abilities to construct QSO catalogues in both low- and high-$z$ bins, using coadded spectra to simulate end-of-survey data. For such tasks, QuasarNET is able to outperform redrock in its current form, identifying approximately 99% of high-$z$ QSOs from single exposures and producing QSO catalogues with sub-percent levels of contamination. By combining QuasarNET and redrock's outputs, we can further improve the classification strategies to identify up to 99.5% of high-$z$ QSOs from single exposures and reduce final QSO catalogue contamination to below 0.5%. These combined strategies address DESI's QSO classification needs effectively.

description: The rapid expansion of the ethanol industry in Indiana has saturated the local market for the principal co-product, distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). In the near term, Indiana’s livestock industry can be expected to consume up to 895,000 tons of DDGS per year. But given production of 2.7 million tons, Indiana’s ethanol producers will rely on railroads and barges to ship excess production to out-of-state destinations. Livestock producers will have a ready access to DDGS across the state.
Sequential Lid Removal in a Triple-Decker Chain of CME-Producing Solar Eruptions

description: We investigate the onsets of three consecutive coronal mass ejection (CME) eruptions in 12 hours from a large bipolar active region (AR) observed by SDO, STEREO, RHESSI, and GOES. Evidently, the AR initially had a triple-decker configuration: three flux ropes in a vertical stack above the polarity inversion line (PIL). Upon being bumped by a confined eruption of the middle flux rope, the top flux rope erupts to make the first CME and its accompanying AR-spanning flare arcade rooted in a far-apart pair of flare ribbons. The second CME is made by eruption of the previously-arrested middle flux rope, which blows open the flare arcade of the first CME and produces a flare arcade rooted in a pair of flare ribbons closer to the PIL than those of the first CME. The third CME is made by blowout eruption of the bottom flux rope, which blows open the second flare arcade and makes its own flare arcade and pair of flare ribbons. Flux cancellation observed at the PIL likely triggers the initial confined eruption of the middle flux rope. That confined eruption evidently triggers the first CME eruption. The lid-removal mechanism instigated by the first CME eruption plausibly triggers the second CME eruption. Further lid removal by the second CME eruption plausibly triggers the final CME eruption.

description: We discuss the detection of entanglement in interacting quantum spin systems. First, thermodynamic Hamiltonian-based witnesses are computed for a general class of one-dimensional spin-1/2 models. Second, we introduce optimal bipartite entanglement observables. We show that a bipartite entanglement measure can generally be associated to a set of independent two-body spin observables whose expectation values can be used to witness entanglement. The number of necessary observables is ruled by the symmetries of the model. Illustrative examples are presented.

description: Light scattering and aberrations limit optical microscopy in biological tissue, which motivates the development of adaptive optics techniques. Here, we develop a method for adaptive optics with reflected light and deep neural networks compatible with an epi-detection configuration. Large datasets of sample aberrations which consist of excitation and detection path aberrations as well as the corresponding reflected focus images are generated. These datasets are used for training deep neural networks. After training, these networks can disentangle and independently correct excitation and detection aberrations based on reflected light images recorded from scattering samples. A similar deep learning approach is also demonstrated with scattering guide stars. The predicted aberration corrections are validated using two photon imaging.
U.S. MARKET POTENTIAL FOR DRIED DISTILLERS GRAIN WITH SOLUBLES

description: Prior research presumes that the U.S. livestock feed demand for dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) can accommodate the rapid growth in DDGS production. The objective of this work is to reexamine the market potential for DDGS by considering factors that limit the adoption rate of DDGS. An estimate of DDGS market size requires information about DDGS inclusion rates, animal populations, and adoption rates. The rapid expansion of the ethanol industry will saturate the dairy and hog markets for DDGS by the end of 2009, while the beef and poultry use must triple to consume all available product. One must be circumspect of these forecasts for three reasons. First, the supply of DDGS is contingent on ethanol production. If the downturn in ethanol profitability spreads, less DDGS may be available to absorb. Second, in the short run, farms capable of consuming DDGS are not likely to shift, and thus animal populations are relatively fixed. However, the DDGS inclusion rates will most likely increase from current practices. Yet it is hard to imagine the market penetration rate will reach 100 percent for any class of livestock. Finally, export markets may also consume more DDGS than expected, reducing the pressure to expand US consumption. Thus, producers and consumer of DDGS would be well advised to pay careful attention to market developments as the US DDGS continues to grow.

description: We introduce three measures which quantify the degree to which quantum systems possess the robustness exhibited by classical systems when subjected to continuous observation. Using these we show that for a fixed environmental interaction the level of robustness depends on the measurement strategy, or unravelling, and that no single strategy is maximally robust in all ways.

description: We examine the determinants of own-price output supply response in policy models, focusing primarily on the OECD-PEM equilibrium displacement model. Reviewing expert assessments and econometric literature estimates we find that there is evidence to both support and challenge the relatively high supply response of a model like the OECD-PEM. We also consider possible avenues of reconciliation between evidence that supports and challenges the assumed supply response in the OECD-PEM model. Our analysis of supply response in the OECD-PEM case and from reviewing literature leads us to recommend that future econometric investigation be focused on the role of farm household owned resource mobility as it contributes to agricultural supply response.
