description: We consider $α'$ corrections to the one-loop four-point correlator of the stress-tensor multiplet in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills at order $1/N^4$. Holographically, this is dual to string corrections of the one-loop supergravity amplitude on AdS$_5\times$S$^5$. While this correlator has been considered in Mellin space before, we derive the corresponding position space results, gaining new insights into the analytic structure of AdS loop-amplitudes. Most notably, the presence of a transcendental weight three function involving new singularities is required, which has not appeared in the context of AdS amplitudes before. We thereby confirm the structure of string corrected one-loop Mellin amplitudes, and also provide new explicit results at orders in $α'$ not considered before.

description: Перші роки життя дитини закладають основи таких якостей, які глибоко і міцно пов'язують її зі своїм історичним корінням, впливають на формування пам'яті родоводу, любові до своїх батьків, отчого дому. В дитячі роки зароджується національна самосвідомість особистості, почуття відданості Батьківщині. Несформованість патріотичних почуттів порушує цілісність особистості, спотворює її етнічну картину світу. Патріотичні почуття не є статичними, вони видозмінюються, збагачуються впродовж усього життя. Первинні етнічні уявлення утворюються вже в ранньому дитинстві, поповнюються та уточнюються в наступні роки; вони не розчиняються у часі, не зникають, хоча без належного усвідомлення можуть бути витісненими у підсвідомість.

description: This dissertation aims to contribute to a socio-informatics approach by addressing sustainable everyday mobilities through practice-based design. Supporting the sustainable transformation of everyday mobilities is a rising demand of our times that can profit highly from mobile sustainable interaction design (SID). However, conventional designs to support sustainable mobilities have often been criticized as too rationalistic and normative, ignoring the complex nature of mobility patterns. In particular, design interventions that only address a very specific mobility mode are often revealed to be insulated solutions that do not account how for their further embeddedness in everyday mobility practices. These shortcomings can either be or have problematic unintended consequences, such as rebound effects (Shove 2010; Banister and Button 2015). To address these issues, I studied SID for sustainable mobilities in real-life settings using a socio-informatic approach. In particular, this thesis examines how SID can be applied to focus on everyday mobilities as habituated practices. Thus, it aims to answer the following question: "How should a practice-based design approach be applied to support sustainable everyday mobilities in everyday life settings?" The research question is examined through the lens of three research fields: first transport information systems (TIS), second shared mobility services (SMS) and third eco-feedback tools (EFT). Therefore, six research studies were completed to study and support the environmental and social sustainability of everyday mobility practices. The studies showed that a practice-based approach addresses SID for everyday mobilities on three levels: first, by elaborating a new methodological understanding to study everyday mobilities as evolving practices; second, by evolving methods and tools that are able to reflect on the development of new mobility practices in real-life contexts; and third, by supporting SID that goes beyond the normative stance but is built upon the practices of everyday life mobilities in the research fields of TIS, SMS and EFT.

description: We study quasi-exact quantum error correcting codes and quantum computation with them. A quasi-exact code is an approximate code such that it contains a finite number of scaling parameters, the tuning of which can flow it to corresponding exact codes, serving as its fixed points. The computation with a quasi-exact code cannot realize any logical gate to arbitrary accuracy. To overcome this, the notion of quasi-exact universality is proposed, which makes quasi-exact quantum computation a feasible model especially for executing moderate-size algorithms. We find that the incompatibility between universality and transversality of the set of logical gates does not persist in the quasi-exact scenario. A class of covariant quasi-exact codes is defined which proves to support transversal and quasi-exact universal set of logical gates for $SU(d)$. This work opens the possibility of quantum computation with quasi-exact universality, transversality, and fault tolerance.

 Remarks. This soft coral is generally found in deeper water along with other members of the Nephtheidae, and it is included in this guide based on one record. Pseudodrifa nigra is easily distinguished by the dark brown color (dull brown or gray in ethanol), pale longitudinal grooves from polyp tips to polyp base, and sclerites set en chevron along the length of the polyps. The stalk is short and fleshy with dozens of polyps crowded on a few very short branches. Sclerites from the coenenchyme are tuberculate rods, and the polyp walls contain clubs with foliate heads reaching 0.5 mm in length. This species has been found on Lophelia pertusa rubble and Keratoisis ornata colonies in deeper areas.

description: So far proposed quantum computers use fragile and environmentally sensitive natural quantum systems. Here we explore the new notion that synthetic quantum systems suitable for quantum computation may be fabricated from smart nanostructures using topological excitations of a stochastic neural-type network that can mimic natural quantum systems. These developments are a technological application of process physics which is an information theory of reality in which space and quantum phenomena are emergent, and so indicates the deep origins of quantum phenomena. Analogous complex stochastic dynamical systems have recently been proposed within neurobiology to deal with the emergent complexity of biosystems, particularly the biodynamics of higher brain function. The reasons for analogous discoveries in fundamental physics and neurobiology are discussed.

description: Pollution of aquatic bodies by pharmaceutical compounds is an emerging environmental problem because these drugs are extensively used in animal and human medicine. Ibuprofen, 2-[4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl] propanoic acid, is the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug mainly present both in wastewater and in rivers and lakes in Europe. Despite this environmental emergency is giving rise a great interest in the scientific community, literature about the effects of ibuprofen on microalgae is scarce. A previous work on the freshwater microalga Scenedesmus rubescens had shown some morpho-physiological effects caused by treatment with 62.5, 250 and 1000 µg L−1 ibuprofen. In this paper, we presented the results of treatment with ibuprofen at the same concentrations, ranging from environmental levels up to higher values, on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (P.J.L. Dangeard). Ibuprofen effects on the alga were assayed through analyses of growth curve. Moreover, analyses of cell morphology, ultrastructure, and photosynthetic pigments were performed. The first effect of drug was the stimulation of the microalga growth. In addition, following exposure to ibuprofen, cells exhibited morphological and ultrastructural alterations, the latter ones consisting of starch granules and both in vacuolar and cytoplasmatic inclusions. On the contrary, chlorophyll and carotenoids amounts, were not affected by drug treatment.
Radiative falloff of a scalar field in a weakly curved spacetime without symmetries

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a massless scalar field propagating in a weakly curved spacetime whose metric is a solution to the linearized Einstein field equations. The spacetime is assumed to be stationary and asymptotically flat, but no other symmetries are imposed -- the spacetime can rotate and deviate strongly from spherical symmetry. We prove that the late-time behavior of the scalar field is identical to what it would be in a spherically-symmetric spacetime: it decays in time according to an inverse power-law, with a power determined by the angular profile of the initial wave packet (Price falloff theorem). The field's late-time dynamics is insensitive to the nonspherical aspects of the metric, and it is governed entirely by the spacetime's total gravitational mass; other multipole moments, and in particular the spacetime's total angular momentum, do not enter in the description of the field's late-time behavior. This extended formulation of Price's falloff theorem appears to be at odds with previous studies of radiative decay in the spacetime of a Kerr black hole. We show, however, that the contradiction is only apparent, and that it is largely an artifact of the Boyer-Lindquist coordinates adopted in these studies.

description: One method for the numerical treatment of future null-infinity is to decouple coordinates from the tensor basis and choose each in a careful manner. This dual-frame approach is hampered by logarithmically divergent terms that appear in a naive choice of evolved variables. Here we consider a system of wave equations that satisfy the weak-null condition and serve as a model system with similar nonlinearities to those present in the Einstein field equations in generalized harmonic gauge. We show that these equations can be explicitly regularized by a nonlinear change of variables. Working in spherical symmetry, a numerical implementation of this model using compactified hyperboloidal slices is then presented. Clean convergence is found for the regularized system. Although more complicated, it is expected that general relativity can be treated similarly.

description: The Community Supported Agriculture marketing model has evolved from its early roots, adapting to both increases in local food demand and consumer market engagement as well as to expanded competition for the local food dollar from a variety of other direct-to-consumer and intermediated sources. This paper explores the strategic positioning of CSAs in the changing food market and draws on descriptive summaries of observations from a recent survey of CSA managers to document specific trends in adaptations to the CSA business model. An application of the transaction versus alliance marketing framework is applied to local food distribution alternatives and opportunities for differentiation. CSA managers generally are aware of alternative channels for local food but primarily point to other CSAs and farm markets as the closest competition.

We identify these operators in the large N and large R-charge limit and compute their exact scaling dimensions using N=1 superspace methods. From these scaling dimensions we attempt to reverse-engineer the light-cone worldsheet theory that describes string propagation on the Penrose limit of the dual geometry.

description: Audience response systems (ARS) are an increasingly popular tool used to deliver curricula and educational content across diverse, heterogeneous audiences while providing instant data on learner understanding. Given the increasing pressure to assess Cooperative Extension Service (CES) program impact on audiences across a widening scope of demographics, geography, agricultural experience, and education with limited time and human resources, ARS may offer a viable solution. In this paper, audience responses from a targeted Extension program reaching 204 agricultural producers are presented. Improved strategies for ARS applications in Extension program assessment are suggested.

description: This thesis explores the development of public order policing between the late 1960s and early 1980s, situating it within the broader ‘politics of public order’ of the time. Using newly- released archival material – including significant tranches of documents secured through Freedom of Information requests – it explains how the Metropolitan Police developed its aims, methods, and capacity for maintaining public order and containing public disorder during this period, examining the shift from ‘traditional methods’ towards a paramilitary-style approach. It shows how this was developed through the adoption of new crowd control equipment, developments in training and tactics, and new methods of intelligence gathering and command and control. While these practices were developed within the Metropolitan Police, they were gradually exported to other police forces in an effort to strengthen national public order capacity, a process encouraged by the Home Office and gradually taken on by the Association of Chief Police Officers. This thesis also shows how these changes in policing were influenced by a welter of competing cultural and political forms, many of which existed within, outside, and on the peripheries of policing institutions. In this sense, it pays attention to the contours of the politics of public order: an uneven and highly-fraught series of political contestations regarding the limits of police power, the limits of civil liberties, and the role of police in maintaining public order; contestations which played out within the Metropolitan Police, but which were shaped by a number of wider political and social contexts which provided the backdrop to these debates. As such, this thesis provides a deeper understanding of the politics of public order during the transformative period, joining recent scholarship in the field of criminal justice history in placing policing institutions within their broader social, cultural, and political context.

description: The classical Hamiltonian for a chargeless and massless particle in a very near horizon region is shown to be of the form $H\sim xp$ as long as radial motion is concerned. This is demonstrated explicitly for static spherically symmetric black hole and also found to be applicable for specific choice of radial trajectories in the Kerr case. Such feature of horizon leads to unavoidable "{\it local instability}" in the particle's radial motion as long as near horizon regime is concerned. We show that at the quantum level this provides thermality in the system. The temperature is found to be given by the Hawking expression. Finally, we conjecture that the automatic instability created by the horizon is responsible for its own temperature and consequently can be a possible physical mechanism for horizon temperature.

description: Стремление создать экологическую цивилизацию продвигалось экомарксистами, приверженными созданию некоторой формы экосоциализма. В статье рассматривается то, что подразумевается под терминами «экомарксизм» и «экологическая цивилизация». Данные термины определяются на основе экологических концепций. При этом стремление к созданию экологической цивилизации связывается с реализацией «экологической культуры», принимая экологию за корневую метафору для понимания всей реальности. Утверждается, что концепция экопоэзиса, вытекающая из экологии, обеспечивает мост между естественными и гуманитарными науками, предоставляя основу для переформулирования социальных наук и политической философии, необходимых для создания нового мирового порядка. Такой порядок поддерживает жизнь биосферы и человеческих сообществ, способствует пониманию человечества как части природы. В ближайшем будущем этот перспективный проект потребует защиты со стороны Организации Объединенных Наций для поддержания верховенства права на международном уровне, интегрируя стремление к многополярному мировому порядку со стремлением к глобальной экологической цивилизации.

description: Detection and location of moving prey utilizing electrosense or mechanosense is a strategy commonly followed by animals which cannot rely on visual sense or hearing. In this article we consider the possibility to detect the source of a localized stimulus that travels along a chain of detectors at constant speed. The detectors are autonomous oscillators whose frequencies have a given natural spread. The detection mechanism is based on phase coherence which is built up by phase resetting induced by the passing stimulus.

 Material examined. SERTC S 1384, 63 m, off Anastasia Island, FL, August 30, 2004. S 2325, 92 m, off Charleston, South Carolina, April 12, 1974. S 2788, 60 m, off Anastasia Island, Florida, August 31, 2004.
 Remarks. Nidalia occidentalis is easily distinguishable from other octocorals in the SAB by its stiff, barren stalk and capitate head bearing the monomorphic polyps and conical calyces. The stalk bears large (up to 1 mm), slightly curved, tuberculated spindles while the anthocodiae contain smaller needle-like rods in a collaret and points arrangement, and small flat platelets. The large spindles are six times longer than wide, a feature that distinguishes N. occidentalis from N. rigida, which bears thicker spindles. In life, one SERTC Nidalia occidentalis specimen had an orange stalk and red terminus bearing white polyps. In the preserved state the colors are slightly duller. The examined specimens reach 20 mm in length.
 Atlantic distribution: North Carolina to French Guiana, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, 37–440 m (one record off Venezuela indicates collection from 914 m) (Deichmann, 1936; Bayer 1961; Verseveldt 1978; NMNH collections; SERTC collection).

description: This study considers the effect that horizontal arrangements (HA) have on the ability of small-scale farmers’ to stay competitive by analyzing whether dairy farmers in Brazil who engage in horizontal alliances are potentially more competitive. Using a multidimensional approach and quantitative analysis, on-site surveys were conducted with 120 small-scale dairy farmers in Paraná, Brazil. The method utilized exploratory factor analysis (EFA), identifying four factors and corresponding drivers. A comparison was performed between two groups of farmers utilizing a Student’s t-test. Results found significant differences between farmers engaged in horizontal arrangements from farmers who were not. We conclude that horizontal arrangements are important mechanisms for improving farmers’ bargaining power, enhancing productivity and making technological advances—which may direct private and public efforts forward by encouraging more collective actions.

description: Starting with an exact and simple geodesic, we generate approximate geodesics by summing up higher-order geodesic deviations within a General Relativistic setting, without using Newtonian and post-Newtonian approximations. We apply this method to the problem of closed orbital motion of test particles in the Kerr metric space-time. With a simple circular orbit in the equatorial plane taken as the initial geodesic we obtain finite eccentricity orbits in the form of Taylor series with the eccentricity playing the role of small parameter. The explicit expressions of these higher-order geodesic deviations are derived using successive systems of linear equations with constant coefficients, whose solutions are of harmonic oscillator type. This scheme gives best results when applied to the orbits with low eccentricities, but with arbitrary values of $(GM/Rc^2)$, smaller than 1/6 in the Schwarzschild limit.

description: Mobile devices support both work-related and non-work-related activities, thus allowing adopters to communicate with co-workers and family members, access and share information on the Internet, and manage business activities. The complexity of mobile applications can impact the degree to which users like or dislike their mobile devices. This study examined how preconceptions of personal-related and business-related outcome expectations impact user anxiety and the continued usage of mobile devices. Data collected from 158 Illinois farmers who use mobile devices revealed that performance expected outcome helps reduce anxiety and both types of expected outcomes lead to continued usage. In the post-adoption era, one’s ability to utilize mobile devices for personal and business related purposes will fuel continued usage of smart devices. Knowing that anxiety is detrimental to continued usage, designers of mobile applications should find ways to reduce anxiety by focusing on users’ preconceptions of how the devices are to be used.

description: This paper examines formalized contracts between outsourcing logistics providers and companies in the perishable food industry by evaluating relationships with specificity and uncertainty. A sample of 55 outsourcing agreements were analyzed and found that exchanges are characterized by positive transaction costs arising from contractual problems such as investments in specific assets and information asymmetries. There are several types of specificity and the impact varies depending upon the company. Contractual agreements which are designed to address each type of specificity can provide firms a safeguard mechanism.

title: Zoonotic barriers: defining species-specific porcine restriction factors against coronaviruses

subject: PRCV

description: The pandemic nature of coronaviruses (CoVs) is underpinned by their ability to mutate and overcome barriers caused by evolutionary differences between species and establish disease in new hosts. One such barrier is the interferon (IFN) response. Systematic analysis using arrayed human IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) expression libraries has been effective at identifying antiviral factors. By comparing antiviral activity against viruses adapted to different species, species-specific restriction factors have been identified that act as barriers against zoonosis. However, most of these studies were focused on humans and libraries for other species are lacking. Pigs are important livestock species for public health as they are hosts of influenza virus and at least six CoVs. We have generated an arrayed lentiviral-based porcine Type-I ISG expression library comprising 432 ISGs to enable cross-species screening. We hypothesized that a pig endemic virus would be more adept at evading the IFN response of the natural host, compared to a virus, such as SARS-CoV-2, that has not adapted to pigs. Indeed, our results indicate that porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV), a highly adapted endemic CoV in pigs that causes pneumonia resembling SARS in humans, was less sensitive than SARS-CoV-2 to porcine IFN. This suggests species-specific restriction factors have greater antiviral effects against non-adapted viruses. To identify such factors, we have applied the library to PRCV and SARS-CoV-2. We have developed and optimised resources to carry out such screening experiments in porcine cell lines, as existing protocols for human cell lines were not applicable. Using an RT-qPCR-based read-out, we have identified and validated two novel porcine ISGs, ZCWPW1 and PHACTR1, which potently restrict PRCV and SARS-CoV-2 replication. We also showed that the ISG, USF1, restricts SARS-CoV-2 to a greater extent than PRCV. In addition to the IFN response, receptor compatibility could be a major determinant in the lack of susceptibility of pigs to SARS-CoV-2 in vivo. Human ACE2 is the entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2. We have developed a human ACE2 transgenic pig model highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, displaying clinical signs, disease progression, and lung inflammation that faithfully replicates COVID-19 in humans. This large animal model could serve as a unique tool in addition to non-human primates and rodents for testing mechanisms of disease and developing improved vaccines and therapeutics against COVID-19.

description: Valldal is a small township and valley in the picturesque fjord district of western Norway. The case concerns the current management of Valldal Grønt, a small farmer-owned cooperative recovering from a harsh winter that destroyed much of the strawberry production it depends on for its livelihood. Although Valldal Grønt has successfully branded its products, in these times of diminishing production and profitability, the brand equity is under siege. Farmers now seek a leaner organization. Simultaneously, pricing issues are subject to scrutiny and souring business relationships with customers. Valldal Grønt continues to use information technology to better coordinate the supply chain with the daily variations in supply and fluctuating demand. The case illustrates how branding is embedded in an end-to-end supply network and its natural environment. This case is intended for students following courses in supply chain management (SCM) & logistics, operations management and industrial marketing.
