description: By applying the simple and effective method developed to study the the gauge-invariant fermion Green function in $ 2+1 $ dimensional non-compact QED, we study the gauge-invariant Green function in $ 3+1 $ dimensional QED and $ 2+1 $ dimensional non-compact Chern-Simon theory. We also extend our results to the corresponding $ SU(M) $ non-Abelian gauge theories. Implications for Fractional Quantum Hall effect are briefly discussed.

description: Deep learning (DL) is becoming increasingly popular in several application domains and has made several new application features involving computer vision, speech recognition and synthesis, self-driving automobiles, drug design, etc. feasible and accurate. As a result, large scale on-premise and cloud-hosted deep learning platforms have become essential infrastructure in many organizations. These systems accept, schedule, manage and execute DL training jobs at scale. This paper describes the design, implementation and our experiences with FfDL, a DL platform used at IBM. We describe how our design balances dependability with scalability, elasticity, flexibility and efficiency. We examine FfDL qualitatively through a retrospective look at the lessons learned from building, operating, and supporting FfDL; and quantitatively through a detailed empirical evaluation of FfDL, including the overheads introduced by the platform for various deep learning models, the load and performance observed in a real case study using FfDL within our organization, the frequency of various faults observed including unanticipated faults, and experiments demonstrating the benefits of various scheduling policies. FfDL has been open-sourced.

description: While climate change is widely regarded as a threat to food security in southern Africa, few studies attempt to link the science of climate change impacts on agriculture with the specificities of smallholder livelihoods. In this paper, we build a series of linear programming (LP) farm-household models in Zambia in order to assess the impact of climate change on rural households and likely changes in land use and crop management. The LP models represent three household types (smallholders, emergent farmers, and female-headed households) in three agro-ecological zones with divergent cropping patterns and climate trends. Model parameters are drawn from several nationally representative rural household surveys, local meteorological records, and downscaled climate predictions of the Hadley (HadCM3) and CCSM models for the year 2050. The calorie-maximizing LP models are calibrated to best reflect baseline crop distributions at each site. Statistical analyses of crop yields over nine years reveal that crops in Zambia exhibit varying levels of sensitivity to climate shocks, and under climate change scenarios, the LP models indicate that farmers will shift their choices of technologies and crops. Among smallholder farms, calorie production from field crops changes by -13.56 to +5.13% under the Hadley predictions and -10.61 to +9.79% under the CCSM predictions. Although farm-households are expected to meet their consumption requirements even under climate change scenarios, the probability of falling below a minimum threshold of calorie production increases in two of our three study sites, and this is particularly true for smallholder farmers who face binding land constraints. Given the current choice set, autonomous on-farm adaptation generally will not be enough to offset the negative yield effects of climate change. Zambia therefore needs larger-scale institutional developments and agricultural research to provide farmers with additional adaptation options.
Low-cost limit of classical communication with restricted quantum measurements

description: We consider a communication scenario where classical information is encoded in an ensemble of quantum states that admit a power series expansion in a cost parameter and with the vanishing cost converge to a single zero-cost state. For a given measurement scheme, we derive an approximate expression for mutual information in the leading order of the cost parameter. The general results are applied to selected problems in optical communication, where coherent states of light are used as input symbols and the cost is quantified as the average number of photons per symbol. We show that for an arbitrary individual measurement on phase shift keyed (PSK) symbols, the photon information efficiency is upper bounded by 2 nats of information per photon in the low-cost limit, which coincides with the conventional homodyne detection bound. The presented low-cost approximation facilitates a systematic analysis of few-symbol measurements that exhibit superadditivity of accessible information. For the binary PSK alphabet of coherent states, we present designs for two- and three-symbol measurement schemes based on linear optics, homodyning, and single photon detection that offer respectively 2.49% and 3.40% enhancement relative to individual measurements. We also show how designs for scalable superadditive measurement schemes emerge from the introduced low-cost formalism.

description: We have investigated charge transport processes in a superconducting single-electron transistor (S-SET) fabricated in close proximity to a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. The macroscopic bonding pads of the S-SET along with the 2DEG form a microstrip transmission line. We observe a variety of current-carrying cycles in the S-SET which we attribute to simultaneous tunneling of Cooper pairs and emission of photons into the microstrip. We find good agreement between these experimental results and simulations including both photon emission and photon-assisted tunneling due to the electromagnetic environment.

description: Using a panel data set on the yogurt market for four hundred points of sale in Italy, we investigate, at the segment level, the interactions between private label (PL) market shares and national brand (NB) leader’s prices. We estimate a reduced form model which controls for the heterogeneity of point of sales and time using a two way fixed effect (FE) error components model (ECM). Consistently with several theoretical findings available in the literature, we expect retailers to use PL to discriminate prices among different groups of consumers. The analysis, however, shows not all segments of the market are influenced by PL shares. Specifically, for the most dynamic segments (functional and yogurt with snack), Pl shares are on average smaller and NB leader’s prices are not affected by their presence. Differently, in the most traditional segments (whole and skimmed yogurt), where PL exhibits on average a sizable presence, the analysis shows a positive effect between PL shares and NB prices. Results suggest leader’s product innovation and product introduction dynamics might play a role on retailer’s power to influence NB leader’s prices, retaining PL development.

description: Interdiffusion between the yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte and the gadolinia doped ceria (CGO) barrier layer is one of the major causes to the degradation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). We present in this work experimental investigations on CGO-YSZ bi-layer electrolyte sintered at 1250 C or 1315 C and element transport as a function of sintering temperature and dwelling time. In order to quantitatively simulate the experimental observations, the CALPHAD-type thermodynamic assessment of the CGO-YSZ system is performed by simplifying the system to a CeO2-ZrO2 quasi-binary system, and the kinetic descriptions (atomic mobilities) are constructed based on critical review of literature data. The CGO-YSZ interdiffusion is then modeled with the DICTRA software and the simulation results are compared with the experimental data under different sintering or long-term operating conditions. The corresponding ohmic resistance of the bi-layer electrolyte is predicted based on the simulated concentration profile. The results implies that the interdiffusion across the CGO-YSZ interface happens mainly during sintering at high temperature, while during long-term operation at relatively lower temperature the impact of interdiffusion on cell degradation is negligible.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: The purpose of this paper is to develop criteria for comparing and ranking uncertain prospects when we have some information on the extent to which agents are risk-averse. The basis for these comparisons is the value of the certainty equivalent outcome of the corresponding uncertain prospects. Clearly, the ranking established by the values of the certainty equivalent outcome is identical to the ranking established by the expected utility of the outcome. By comparing the former values, however, we can determine not only the ranking of the uncertain prospects under consideration but we can also determined by how much one prospect would be more valuable than the other in terms of money - for that particular agent. The paper develops expressions for approximating the values of the certainty equivalent outcomes on the basis of the central moments of their distribution and the value of the underlying coefficient of variation. These criteria are then applied for comparing alternative crop rotation and irrigation practices of wheat in Israel.

Sun studied the integro-differential equation with the kernel given by the Prabhakar function $e^{-γ}_{α, β}(t, λ)$ we provide the solution to this equation which is complementary to that obtained up to now. Our solution is valid for effective relaxation times which admissible range extends the limits given in \cite[Theorem 3.1]{DZhao2019} to all positive values. For special choices of parameters entering the equation itself and/or characterizing the kernel the solution comprises to known phenomenological relaxation patterns, e.g. to the Cole-Cole model (if $γ= 1, β=1-α$) or to the standard Debye relaxation.

description: In a framework developed by P.J. Dawson, the effects of output price risk on the family labour supply and its demand for hired labour are investigated. In particular, the effects of changes in autonomous income, expected output price, family composition, and farm size are studied. Comparative statics is used to sign these effects, revealing the importance of the behavior of the measures of absolute, relative and partial risk aversion in determining them. It is shown that some of the effects may be determined only via empirical research.

description: The two-orbital Hubbard model with the Hund coupling is investigated in a metallic phase close to the Mott insulator. We calculate the one-particle spectral function and the optical conductivity within dynamical mean field theory, for which the effective impurity problem is solved by using the non-crossing approximation. For a metallic system close to quarter filling, a heavy quasi-particle band is formed by the Hubbard interaction, the effective mass of which is not so sensitive to the orbital splitting and the Hund coupling. In contrast, a heavy quasi-particle band near half filling disappears in the presence of the orbital splitting, but is induced again by the introduction of the Hund coupling, resulting in a different type of heavy quasi-particles.

description: We photometrically observed the 2002 August long outburst of BF Ara. The observation for the first time unambiguously detected superhumps (average period 0.08797(1) d), qualifying BF Ara as a genuine SU UMa-type dwarf nova. An analysis of the long-term visual light curve yielded a mean supercycle length of 84.3(3) d. The characteristics of outbursts and superhumps more resemble those of usual SU UMa-type dwarf novae rather than those of ER UMa stars. BF Ara is thus confirmed to be the usual SU UMa-type dwarf nova with the shortest known supercycle length. There still remains an unfilled gap of distributions between ER UMa stars and usual SU UMa-type dwarf novae. We detected a zero period change of the superhumps, which is quite unexpected from our previous knowledge. This discovery implies that a previous interpretation requiring a low M-dot would be no longer valid, or that a different mechanism is responsible for BF Ara. We propose that the reduced (prograde) apsidal motion of the eccentric disk by pressure forces may be responsible for the unusual period change in BF Ara.

description: Malnutrition is associated with treatment-related toxicities (TRT) in adults with solid tumors and in children with leukemia. Few studies have assessed whether malnutrition in pediatric patients treated for solid tumors impacts risk for TRT, relapse, and/or survival. To address this knowledge gap, this retrospective study evaluated the association between body mass index (BMI) at diagnosis, and imputed BMI during therapy, on the prevalence of TRT, specific toxicities, relapse, and survival in pediatric patients with solid tumors treated with cisplatin-containing regimens. Kaplan–Meier curves and regression models evaluated the association between patient-specific characteristics (including BMI) and TRT, relapse, and survival. The cohort included 221 patients, of whom 22% were malnourished at diagnosis (10% were underweight and 12% were obese). Most patients (60%) experienced at least one severe TRT, and 30% developed more than one severe TRT. Most patients with obesity at diagnosis remained obese during therapy (62%). In multivariable analysis, obesity at diagnosis was significantly associated with a more than threefold greater risk for developing severe TRT (p = 0.037), specifically for acute or chronic kidney injury (p = 0.014). Obesity at diagnosis and adolescent and young adult age (≥15 years at diagnosis) were associated with worse event-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] 2.32, p = 0.024 and HR 2.28, p = 0.010, respectively) and overall survival (HR 3.69, p = 0.006 and HR 2.6, p = 0.012, respectively). Obese and older patients therefore constitute populations at risk for poorer outcomes. Prospective studies are warranted to gain further insight into the mechanism and role of obesity and adolescence in developing TRT and/or treatment failure.

description: The goal of the IARAI competition traffic4cast was to predict the city-wide traffic status within a 15-minute time window, based on information from the previous hour. The traffic status was given as multi-channel images (one pixel roughly corresponds to 100x100 meters), where one channel indicated the traffic volume, another one the average speed of vehicles, and a third one their rough heading. As part of our work on the competition, we evaluated many different network architectures, analyzed the statistical properties of the given data in detail, and thought about how to transform the problem to be able to take additional spatio-temporal context-information into account, such as the street network, the positions of traffic lights, or the weather. This document summarizes our efforts that led to our best submission, and gives some insights about which other approaches we evaluated, and why they did not work as well as imagined.

description: Direct sales are a widespread and important typology of the so-called Alternative Food Networks. The direct links between producers and consumers can take two basic forms: consumers going to buy agricultural products at the farm (on-farm sales), and farmers selling their products in urban areas. These practices are an alternative to traditional organizations of the agro-food chains, that typically involve several operators between producers and consumers. It is therefore important to analyse the reasons pushing farmers to adopt this new organization of their marketing chain. This research aims at analysing the territorial distribution of direct links between urban consumers and farmers in Piedmont (Italy), and to assess the main determinants of their choice. Firstly, the territorial distribution of direct sales practices (on-farm or elsewhere) is analysed. This is made possible by the access to micro-data from the 2010 Agricultural Census for Piedmont, a region whose agriculture is characterized by a strong emphasis on quality products. The farms that chose direct sales, both on- and off-farm, are mostly concentrated in specific clusters, such as the hilly wine-growing areas of Langhe and Monferrato, the hilly belt surrounding Torino, and some low Alpine valleys. Secondly, we analyse the determinants of the choice to sell directly to consumers, separately for on-farm and off-farm sales, with probit models. Explanatory variables comprise the structural characteristics of the farms (farm size, type of farming, etc.), the personal characteristics of the operators and of the farm households, and the proximity to urban and commercial areas. Operators’ and farm characteristics are found to affect the choice of selling directly, but rather weakly. The most important factors affecting these choices are farm location and, for on-farm direct sales, the complementarity with agro-tourism and recreational activities.

description: Using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8+δ}$, we have made the first observation of a mass renormalization or "kink" in the E vs. $\vec k$ dispersion relation localized near $(π, 0)$. Compared to the kink observed along the nodal direction, this new effect is clearly stronger, appears at a lower energy near 40 meV, and is only present in the superconducting state. The kink energy scale defines a cutoff below which well-defined quasiparticle excitations occur. This effect is likely due to coupling to a bosonic excitation, with the most plausible candidate being the magnetic resonance mode observed in inelastic neutron scattering.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: The progress in porcine somatotropin (pST) application justified an assessment of consumer acceptance of pST-treated pork. A survey of the Atlanta metropolitan area, USA, collected information about consumer attitudes toward lean pork produced with biotechnologically developed pST. A qualitative dependent variable model was used to identify socioeconomic consumer characteristics influencing the willingness to pay for lean pork. The model was modified to account for the selectivity bias of the sample data. Results indicate that frequent pork consumers were willing to pay more for lean pork produced using pST in contrast to respondents who frequently ate beef, were older, and had relatively high income. Probabilities associated with the willingness to pay a specific premium were calculated. In general, the average respondent was willing to pay an additional 18¢ per kg of lean pork produced using pST.

description: Extensive work has shown that irradiation with 0.8 GeV protons can produce randomly oriented columnar defects (CD's) in a large number of HTS materials, specifically those cuprates containing Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, and similar heavy elements. Absorbing the incident proton causes the nucleus of these species to fission, and the recoiling fission fragments create amorphous tracks, i.e., CD's. The superconductive transition temperature Tc decreases linearly with proton fluence and we analyze how the rate depends on the family of superconductors. In a study of Tl-2212 materials, adding defects decreases the equilibrium magnetization Meq(H) significantly in magnitude and changes its field dependence; this result is modeled in terms of vortex pinning. Analysis of the irreversible magnetization and its time dependence shows marked increases in the persistent current density and effective pinning energy, and leads to an estimate for the elementary attempt time for vortex hopping, tau ~ 4x10^(-9) s.

description: The nonequilibrium dynamics of coupled quantum oscillators subject to different time dependent quenches are analyzed in the context of the Liouville-von Neumann approach. We consider models of quantum oscillators in interaction that are exactly soluble in the cases of both sudden and smooth quenches. The time evolution of number densities and the final equilibration distribution for the problem of a quantum oscillator coupled to an infinity set of other oscillators (a bath) are explicitly worked out.

description: We present a general framework to treat the evolution of one-point probability distribution function (PDF) for cosmic density $δ$ and velocity-divergence fields $θ$. In particular, we derive an evolution equation for the one-point PDFs and consider the stochastic nature associated with these quantities. Under the local approximation that the evolution of cosmic fluid fields can be characterized by the Lagrangian local dynamics with finite degrees of freedom, evolution equation for PDFs becomes a closed form and consistent formal solutions are constructed. Adopting this local approximation, we explicitly evaluate the one-point PDFs $P(δ)$ and $P(θ)$ from the spherical and the ellipsoidal collapse models as the representative Lagrangian local dynamics. In a Gaussian initial condition, while the local density PDF from the ellipsoidal model almost coincides with the that of the spherical model, differences between spherical and ellipsoidal collapse model are found in the velocity-divergence PDF. Importantly, the joint PDF of local density, $P(δ,t;δ',t')$, evaluated at the same Lagrangian position but at the different times $t$ and $t'$ from the ellipsoidal collapse model exhibits a large amount of scatter. The mean relation between $δ$ and $δ'$ does fail to match the one-to-one mapping obtained from spherical collapse model. Moreover, the joint PDF $P(δ;θ)$ from the ellipsoidal collapse model shows a similar stochastic feature, both of which are indeed consistent with the recent result from N-body simulations.

description: This paper proposes a design approach to evaluating capability in particular areas of focus within an entity, and the level of adoption, practice and collaboration displayed related to policy, and standardisation. Understanding our levels of capability in particular areas and how these contribute to overall maturity allows us to understand our current status and to identify and invest in areas where we want to improve and monitor our progress. This applies to both self-assessment and external evaluation. The approach can be adjusted to address a range of entities including organisations, parts of organisations and component services. It should be possible to apply these approaches to repositories and other organisations providing data infrastructure (RDI) and also to organisations providing funding (RFO) or performing research (RPO). In addition to existing capability and maturity models there are several under development or review within the EOSC and trustworthy digital repository (TDR) space. The model designers need the freedom to develop and evolve independently, but recognize the risk to implementers of having a confusing range of non-interoperable and resource-intensive systems to choose from. This text reflects the evolving design statement being developed within the FAIRsFAIR4 project.

description: In this paper, applying the Hartman-Grobman theorem we carry out a qualitative late-time analysis of some unified dark energy-matter Friedmann cosmological models, where the two interact through linear energy exchanges, and the dark energy fluid obeys to the dynamical equation of state of Redlich-Kwong, Modified Berthelot, and Dieterici respectively. The identification of appropriate late-time attractors allows to restrict the range of validity of the free parameters of the models under investigation. In particular, we prove that the late-time attractors which support a negative deceleration parameter correspond to a de Sitter universe. We show that the strength of deviation from an ideal fluid for the dark energy does not influence the stability of the late-time attractors, as well as the values of all the cosmological parameters at equilibrium, but for the Hubble function (which represents the age of the universe). Our analysis also shows that a singularity in the effective equation of state parameter for the dark energy fluid is not possible within this class of models.

Microscopic correlations of non-Hermitian Dirac operators in three-dimensional QCD

description: In the presence of a non-vanishing chemical potential the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator become complex. We calculate spectral correlation functions of complex eigenvalues using a random matrix model approach. Our results apply to non-Hermitian Dirac operators in three-dimensional QCD with broken flavor symmetry and in four-dimensional QCD in the bulk of the spectrum. The derivation follows earlier results of Fyodorov, Khoruzhenko and Sommers for complex spectra exploiting the existence of orthogonal polynomials in the complex plane. Explicit analytic expressions are given for all microscopic k-point correlation functions in the presence of an arbitrary even number of massive quarks, both in the limit of strong and weak non-Hermiticity. In the latter case the parameter governing the non-Hermiticity of the Dirac matrices is identified with the influence of the chemical potential.

description: Highly optimized tolerance is a model of optimization in engineered systems, which gives rise to power-law distributions of failure events in such systems. The archetypal example is the highly optimized forest fire model. Here we give an analytic solution for this model which explains the origin of the power laws. We also generalize the model to incorporate risk aversion, which results in truncation of the tails of the power law so that the probability of disastrously large events is dramatically lowered, giving the system more robustness.

description: We report on the anomalous magnetization dynamics of the cycloidally-modulated spin textures under the influence of uniaxial anisotropy in multiferroic $\mathrm{GaV_4S_8}$. The temperature and field dependence of the linear ac susceptibility [$χ_{1ω}^{\prime}(T,H)$], ac magnetic loss [$χ_{1ω}^{\prime\prime}(T,H)$], and nonlinear ac magnetic response [$M_{3ω}(T,H)$] are examined across the magnetic phase diagram in the frequency range $f = 10-10000$ Hz. According to recent theory, skyrmion vortices under axial crystal symmetry are confined along specific orientations, resulting in enhanced robustness against oblique magnetic fields and altered spin dynamics. We characterize the magnetic response of each spin texture and find that the dynamic rigidity of the Néel skyrmion lattice appears enhanced compared to Bloch-type skyrmions in cubic systems, even in the multidomain state. Anomalous $M_{3ω}$ and strong dissipation emerge over the same phase regime where strong variations in the cycloid pitch were observed on lowering temperature in recent small-angle neutron scattering experiments [White et al., Phys. Rev. B 97, 020401(R) (2018)]. Here, we show that strong anisotropy also drives an extended crossover of the zero-field cycloid texture in $\mathrm{GaV_4S_8}$. The frequency dependence of these dynamic signatures is consistent with that of a robust anharmonic spin texture exhibiting a correlated domain arrangement. The results underpin the essential role of magnetic anisotropy in enhancing the rigidity of topological spin textures for diverse applications.
