description: We study the exciton spin relaxation in CdTe self-assembled quantum dots by using polarized photoluminescence spectroscopy in magnetic field. The experiments on single CdTe quantum dots and on large quantum dot ensembles show that by combining phonon-assisted absorption with circularly polarized resonant excitation the spin-polarized excitons are photo-excited directly into the ground states of quantum dots. We find that for single symmetric quantum dots at B=0 T, where the exciton levels are degenerate, the spins randomize very rapidly, so that no net spin polarization is observed. In contrast, when this degeneracy is lifted by applying external magnetic field, optically created spin-polarized excitons maintain their polarization on a time scale much longer than the exciton recombination time. We also observe that the exciton spin polarization is conserved when the splitting between exciton states is caused by quantum dot shape asymmetry. Similar behavior is found in a large ensemble of CdTe quantum dots. These results show that while exciton spins scatter rapidly between degenerate states, the spin relaxation time increases by orders of magnitude as the exciton spin states in a quantum dot become non-degenerate. Finally, due to strong electronic confinement in CdTe quantum dots, the large spin polarization of excitons shows no dependence on the number of phonons emitted between the virtual state and the exciton ground state during the excitation.

description: We present a new derivation of the star formation history (SFH) of the dSph galaxy Fornax in two central regions, characterised by unprecedented precision and age resolution. It reveals that star formation has proceeded in sharp bursts separated by periods of low-level or quiescent activity. The SFH was derived through colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) fitting of two extremely deep Hubble Space Telescope CMDs, sampling the centre and one core radius. The attained age resolution allowed us to single out a major star formation episode at early times, a second strong burst $4.6\pm0.4$ Gyr ago and recent intermittent episodes $\sim2-0.2$ Gyr ago. Detailed testing with mock stellar populations was used to estimate the duration of the main bursts and study the occurrence of low-level star formation between them. The SFHs in both regions show common features, with activity at the same epochs and similar age-metallicity relationship. However, clear indications of a spatial gradient were also found, with mean age increasing with radius and star formation episodes being more prolonged in the centre. While some galaxy evolution models predict bursty SFHs in dwarf galaxies and thus a secular origin of the observed SFH cannot be excluded in Fornax, other evidence points to possible mergers or interactions as the cause of its bursty SFH. In particular, we calculated the Fornax orbit relative to the closest dwarfs and the Milky Way and observed a correspondence between the main intermediate-age and young events and peri-passages of Fornax around the Milky Way, possibly indicating tidally-induced star formation.

description: Food, seed, and industrial (FSI) uses of feed grains (corn, sorghum, barley, and oats) comprise a large and growing source of disappearance of these grains. This study provides a breakout of the FSI uses by the major grain consuming industries and an analysis of the potential for growth in use. Strong growth is occurring in corn wet milling and fuel alcohol production. Declines have been seen in certain products like cornmeal. FSI uses appear to be growing in corn and barley, declining in oats, and holding steady in sorghum. An appendix on processing techniques for feed grains is included.

description: We review the results obtained with the Galactic center campaigns of the BeppoSAX Wide Field X-ray Cameras (WFCs). This pertains to the study of luminous low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). When pointed at the Galactic center, the WFC field of view contains more than half of the Galactic LMXB population. The results exemplify the excellent WFC capability to detect brief X-ray transients. Firstly, the WFCs expanded the known population of Galactic thermonuclear X-ray bursters by 50%. At least half of all LMXBs are now established to burst and, thus, to contain a neutron star as compact accretor rather than a black hole candidate. We provide a complete list of all 76 currently known bursters, including the new case 1RXS J170854.4-321857. Secondly, the WFCs have uncovered a population of weak transients with peak luminosities up to ~10^37 erg/s and durations from days to weeks. One is the first accretion-powered millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658. Thirdly, the WFCs contributed considerably towards establishing that nearly all (12 out of 13) luminous low-mass X-ray binaries in Galactic globular clusters contain neutron stars rather than black holes. Thus, the neutron star to black hole ratio in clusters differs from that in the Galactic disk at a marginal confidence level of 97%.

description: This paper assesses the impact of existing financial data gaps and specifies future data collection priorities that will substantially improve farm financial analysis. Development of farm sector financial accounting has been hampered by a lack of an understanding of Flow-of-Funds (FOP) objectives at the national level and the intermingling of FOF concepts with National Income and Product (NEPA) accounting concepts at the sector level. In addition, lack of documentation of data sources and data estimation methodologies has blurred the issue of data quality and in turn retarded both the development of improved data collection procedures and farm sector accounts.

description: Based on an approach to non-Abelian propagation of color dipoles in a nuclear medium we formulate a nonlinear k_t-factorization for the breakup of photons and pions into forward hard dijets in terms of the collective Weizsäcker-Williams (WW) glue of nuclei. We find quite distinct practical consequences of nonlinear nuclear k_t-factorization for interactions of pointlike photons and non-pointlike pions. In the former case the large transverse momentum p_t of jets comes from the intrinsic momentum of quarks and antiquarks in the photon and nuclear effects manifest themselves as an azimuthal decorrelation with an acoplanarity momentum of the order of the nuclear saturation momentum Q_A. In the breakup of pions off free nucleons to the leading order in pQCD the spectator parton has a small transverse momentum and the hard dijet cross section is suppressed. In the breakup of pions off heavy nuclei the forward hard jets are predicted to be entirely decorrelated. We comment on the sensitivity of the pionic dijet cross section to the pion distribution amplitude. The predicted distinction between the breakup of photons and pions can be tested by the sphericity and thrust analysis of the forward hadronic system in the COMPASS experiment at CERN.

description: Recent progress in nonlinear optical materials and microresonators has brought quantum computing with bulk optical nonlinearities into the realm of possibility. This platform is of great interest, not only because photonics is an obvious choice for quantum networks, but also because it may be the only feasible route to quantum information processing at room temperature. We introduce a paradigm for room-temperature photonic quantum logic that significantly simplifies the realization of various quantum circuits, and in particular, of error correction. It uses only the strongest available bulk nonlinearity, namely the $χ^{(2)}$ nonlinear susceptibility. The key element is a three-mode resonator that implements programmable bosonic quantum logic gates. We show that just two of these elements suffice for a complete, compact error-correction circuit on a bosonic code, without the need for measurement or feed-forward control. An extrapolation of current progress in nonlinear optical materials and photonic circuits indicates that such circuitry should be achievable within the next decade.

The connections are defined either using the $α$-embeddings and finding the duals with respect to the metric, or by means of contrast functionals. We show that in both cases, the existence of such a pair of connections is possible if and only if the metric is given by the Wigner-Yanase-Dyson skew information.

description: We propose a mechanism for distributed resource management and interference mitigation in wireless networks using multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (RL). We equip each transmitter in the network with a deep RL agent that receives delayed observations from its associated users, while also exchanging observations with its neighboring agents, and decides on which user to serve and what transmit power to use at each scheduling interval. Our proposed framework enables agents to make decisions simultaneously and in a distributed manner, unaware of the concurrent decisions of other agents. Moreover, our design of the agents' observation and action spaces is scalable, in the sense that an agent trained on a scenario with a specific number of transmitters and users can be applied to scenarios with different numbers of transmitters and/or users. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed approach compared to decentralized baselines in terms of the tradeoff between average and $5^{th}$ percentile user rates, while achieving performance close to, and even in certain cases outperforming, that of a centralized information-theoretic baseline. We also show that our trained agents are robust and maintain their performance gains when experiencing mismatches between train and test deployments.

description: We present a study of the effect of crowding on stellar photometry. We develop an analytical model through which we are able to predict the error in magnitude and color for a given star for any combination of telescope resolution, stellar luminosity function, background surface brightness, and distance. We test our predictions with Monte Carlo simulations of the LMC globular cluster NGC 1835, for resolutions corresponding to a seeing-limited telescope, the $HST$, and an AO-corrected 30-m (near diffraction limited) telescope. Our analytically predicted magnitude errors agree with the simulation results to within $\sim$20%. The analytical model also predicts that errors in color are strongly affected by the correlation of crowding--induced photometric errors between bands as is seen in the simulations. Using additional Monte Carlo simulations and our analytical crowding model, we investigate the photometric accuracy which 30-m and 100-m Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) will be able to achieve at distances extending to the Virgo cluster. We argue that for stellar populations work, ELTs quickly become crowding-limited, suggesting that low--Strehl AO systems may be sufficient for this type of science.

description: Development of agriculture, and associated agricultural problems, have had a prominent place in congressional deliberations virtually throughout the history of the United States (Benedict). Early policy stressed land development, and the Reclamation Act of 1902 was in such spirit. It was "An Act Appropriating the receipts from the sale and disposal of public lands in certain States and Territories to the construction of irrigation works for the reclamation of arid lands." With later modifications of policy to provide greater sources of income for works construction, Congress continues to support the Bureau of Reclamation's water development, output increasing activities. Yet, since 1929, with time out for war, the federal government also has effected commodity programs designed to reduce the supply of major agricultural commodities so as to maintain product prices "at levels that would be above the market price in a free and reasonably normal market situation"(Benedict, p. 517). Such a situation would tend to strike most economists as peculiar (inefficient). Howe and Easter estimated the annual costs of commodity programs directly related to reclamation irrigation in the range of $83 million to $179 million during the period 1944 to 1964 (p. 143). Some of the "facts" generated by these apparently contradictory policies are the subject of this paper.

description: In the early seventeenth century, a number of female writers began to exercise a strong degree of agency in the materials they published and the discourse in which they participated. Discussions of expanded female education abounded in their writing, and by the end of the century, female writers had become bold enough to write tracts proposing entirely new educational institutions for women. These proposed all-female schools would have provided teachers and students alike with both an intellectual space free from patriarchal strictures and the opportunity to expand their minds unimpeded. Through analysis of works by Rachel Speght, Elizabeth Isham, Margaret Cavendish, Bathsua Makin, and Mary Astell, this thesis traces the broad preoccupation of female writers with female intellectual communities across the seventeenth century. This project adds to current and past scholarly discussions of female reading in the early modern period, notes rhetorical continuities between the works of these various writers, and hopes to contribute to our understanding of early feminist thought.

description: Upcoming large-area narrow band photometric surveys, such as J-PAS, will enable us to observe a large number of galaxies simultaneously and efficiently. However, it will be challenging to analyse the spatially-resolved stellar populations of galaxies from such big data to investigate galaxy formation and evolutionary history. We have applied a convolutional neural network (CNN) technique, which is known to be computationally inexpensive once it is trained, to retrieve the metallicity and age from J-PAS-like narrow band images. The CNN was trained using mock J-PAS data created from the CALIFA IFU survey and the age and metallicity at each data point, which are derived using full spectral fitting to the CALIFA spectra. We demonstrate that our CNN model can consistently recover age and metallicity from each J-PAS-like spectral energy distribution. The radial gradients of the age and metallicity for galaxies are also recovered accurately, irrespective of their morphology. However, it is demonstrated that the diversity of the dataset used to train the neural networks has a dramatic effect on the recovery of galactic stellar population parameters. Hence, future applications of CNNs to constrain stellar populations will rely on the availability of quality spectroscopic data from samples covering a wide range of population parameters.

title: An assessment of the relationships between food supply and the environment in India
Creators: name: Harris, F
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2021

description: Environmental changes, including increasing resource scarcity and climate change, threaten food productivity and nutrition security. Concurrently, the food system is a major driver of environmental change. To safeguard human health, food systems should be sustainable and also resilient to environmental changes. It is vital to consider the role of food trade in developing sustainable and resilient food systems, since any vulnerabilities or environmental impacts at production locations can also be transferred to locations of consumption. These issues are particularly relevant in India, where inter-state food trade is an integral part of the food system and environmental changes present an increasing risk to nutrition security. This thesis examines relationships and inter-dependencies between food supply and environmental change in the Indian context. First, a systematic literature review explores the links between global diets and water resource use. Second, a model is built using secondary data to estimate sub-national food trade that is subsequently used in analyses to link food supply and environmental risks in India. The model is used to 1) quantify the water footprint of food items in Indian states, 2) explore the links between groundwater depletion and the consumption of cereals, 3) estimate the risk of climate hazards disrupting food supply in Indian states, and 4) evaluate policy options for increasing fruit and vegetable supply in the district of Visakhapatnam. The findings illustrate the importance of including food trade in environmental footprint and risk assessments of food supply due to the spatial variation in environmental footprints and risks. Incorporating information on where a state sources its food supply alters the estimated water footprint of consuming food in that state. Additionally, through food imports, each state’s food supply is at risk to multiple climate-related hazards beyond its administrative boundary. For Indian policy, this thesis highlights the need to focus on reducing the water use of Indian agriculture to mitigate the risks of groundwater depletion and droughts affecting national food supply. Food trade could be part of the solution to reducing water use and improving nutrition-related health by enabling regions to optimise production based on local resources and redistributing food across the country. Continual monitoring of food supply chains will be needed as the environment continues to change.

description: During aging there is a decline in (MuSCs) and muscle regeneration, though the underlying reason is unknown. Interestingly, mitochondrial fragmentation is a common feature in aging, however, how this impacts MuSC function and maintenance has not been investigated. To address the effect of mitochondrial fragmentation in MuSCs, we generated a knockout mouse model using the Pax7CreERT2 inducible system to target deletion of the mitochondrial fusion protein Opa1 specifically within MuSCs (Opa1-KO). Analysis of MuSC function following muscle injury revealed a defect in the regenerative potential of Opa1-KO MuSCs. Moreover, following injury there was a substantial decrease in the number of MuSC in Opa1-KO animals with a concomitant increase in the number of committing cells, illustrating that loss of Opa1 drives MuSC towards commitment at the expense of self-renewal. Furthermore, loss of Opa1 in MuSCs alters the quiescence state, priming MuSCs for activation, as indicated by a reduction in quiescence-related genes, increased EdU incorporation, and enhanced cell cycle kinetics. To address the impact of mitochondrial dysfunction on muscle stem cell capacity, we generated a model of chronic Opa1 loss. Analysis of muscle stem cell function 3 months after Opa1 ablation revealed mitochondrial dysfunction and a defect in proliferation upon activation, leading to failed muscle regeneration. These data are the first to demonstrate a novel role for mitochondrial structure in the regulation of MuSC maintenance and regenerative capacity.
${}_{ΛΛ}^{5}$H and ${}_{ΛΛ}^{5}$He Hypernuclei reexamined in Halo/Cluster Effective Theory

description: The J=1/2 iso-doublet double-$Λ$-hypernuclei, namely, ${}_{ΛΛ}^{5}$H and ${}_{ΛΛ}^{5}$He, are examined as the three-body cluster states, $ΛΛt$ ($t\equiv {}^3$H or triton) and $ΛΛh$ ($h\equiv {}^3$He or helion), respectively, in a model independent framework utilizing pionless halo effective theory. Both singlet and triplet states of the constituent $ΛT$ ($T\equiv t,h$) sub-system are used in the elastic channel for the study of $_Λ^4$H$-Λ$ and $_Λ^4$He$-Λ$ scattering processes. A prototypical leading order investigation using a sharp momentum cut-off regulator, irrespective of the type of the elastic channel chosen, yields almost identical cut-off dependence of the three-body binding energy or the double-$Λ$-separation energy ($B_{ΛΛ}$) is obtained for the mirror partners, evidently suggesting good isospin symmetry in these three-body systems. Subsequently, upon normalization of our solutions to the integral equation with respect to a single pair of input data from an {\it ab initio} potential model analysis for each mirror hypernuclei, yields $B_{ΛΛ}$ which agrees fairly well with various erstwhile regulator independent potential models for our choice of the cut-off regulator, $\sim 200$ MeV. This is either consistent with pionless effective theory or with its slightly augmented version with a hard scale around $2m_π$, where low-energy $Λ$-$Λ$ interactions dominated by $ππ$ or $σ$-meson exchange. Finally, to demonstrate the predictability of our effective theory, we present preliminary estimates of the S-wave $ΛΛT$ three-body scattering lengths and the $Λ$-separation energies.

description: This Final Design Report provides information pertaining to Thunderbird Lake, a proposed stormwater wet pond facility for South UBC in Vancouver. This report consists of a table of contents, overview, introduction, design overview, design criteria, technical considerations, summary of software and standards used, construction planning, project cost estimate and appendices including construction specifications and detailed drawings. Thunderbird Lake was chosen as the preferred design for a number of reasons, namely, the existence of numerous precedent examples to similar systems, the high quality of effluent discharge released into the ocean, and promotion of green space for students, nearby residents, and visitors. Thunderbird Lake will be capable of safely handling a volume of 8,500 m3 in the event of a 1/100 year rainfall event. Thunderbird Lake is a typical wet pond featuring a forebay for sediment settlement and a main pond for stormwater detention, separated by a concrete weir. The pond features continuous orifice flow into an outlet detention tank, as well as a pair of pipes that can be opened with a valve when the pond is to be drained. Other design criteria which were considered include the use of a water recirculation system, biofiltration mechanisms, serviceability, and aesthetics. Construction of the facility is expected to take approximately 8 months, with an anticipated start date of May 2019. Based on preliminary estimates, the total cost of the project is valued at $2,677,000.

description: We present an open-source program irvsp, to compute irreducible representations of electronic states for all 230 space groups with an interface to the Vienna ab-initio Simulation Package. This code is fed with plane-wave-based wavefunctions (e.g. WAVECAR) and space group operators (listed in OUTCAR), which are generated by the VASP package. This program computes the traces of matrix presentations and determines the corresponding irreducible representations for all energy bands and all the k-points in the three-dimensional Brillouin zone. It also works with spin-orbit coupling (SOC), i.e., for double groups. It is in particular useful to analyze energy bands, their connectivities, and band topology, after the establishment of the theory of topological quantum chemistry. Accordingly, the associated library - irrep_bcs.a - is developed, which can be easily linked to by other ab-initio packages. In addition, the program has been extended to orthogonal tight-binding (TB) Hamiltonians, e.g. electronic or phononic TB Hamiltonians. A sister program ir2tb is presented as well.

description: This paper presents an attempt at considering several interactions between a pesticide policy and a related income stabilization policy. The illustration used is the evaluation of the economic impacts of a ban on the use of toxaphene for the production of wheat. The interrelationship between this policy and target prices is illustrated. In the past, the income supplements produced by target prices were viewed as a means of moderating the effects of short-run price fluctuations. This paper illustrates how target prices also may moderate the effects of changes in the cost of production due to pesticide regulations.
