description: We calculate the Gibbs potential Gamma (M) of a one-dimensional metal at constant magnetization M to second order in the screened electron-electron interaction U. At zero temperature we find that Gamma (M) contains non-analytic corrections proportional to M^2 \ln | M| and | M |^3, implying that a possible paramagnetic-ferromagnetic quantum phase transition in one-dimensional metals must be first order.

description: The range of environmental problems confronting agriculture has expanded in recent years. As the largest program designed to mitigate the negative environmental effects of agriculture, the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has broadened its initial focus on reductions in soil erosion to consider other landscape factors that may also be beneficial. For example, preserving habitats can help protect wildlife, thus leading to more nature-viewing opportunities. This report demonstrates how nonmarket valuation models can be used in targeting conservation programs such as the CRP.

description: Spatial interaction effects between charge carriers in ionic systems play a sizable role beyond a classical Maxwellian description. We develop a nonlocal, two-fluid, hydrodynamic theory of charges and study ionic plasmon effects, i. e. collective charge oscillations in electrolytes. Ionic spatial dispersion arises from both positive and negative charge dynamics with an impact in the (far-)infrared. Despite highly classical parameters, nonlocal quenching of up to 90% is observed for particle sizes spanning orders of magnitude. Notably, the ionic system is widely tunable via ion concentration, mass and charge, in contrast to solid metal nanoparticles. A nonlocal soft plasmonic theory for ions is relevant for biological and chemical systems bridging hard and soft matter theory and allowing the investigation of non-classical effects in electrolytes in full analogy to solid metal particles. The presented semi-classical approach allows studying plasmonic photo-catalysis introducing nonlocal aspects into electrolyte-metal interactions.

description: Recently, a new type of attack, which exploits the efficiency mismatch of two single photon detectors (SPD) in a quantum key distribution (QKD) system, has been proposed. In this paper, we propose another "time-shift" attack that exploits the same imperfection. In our attack, Eve shifts the arrival time of either the signal pulse or the synchronization pulse or both between Alice and Bob. In particular, in a QKD system where Bob employs time-multiplexing technique to detect both bit "0" and bit "1" with the same SPD, Eve, in principle, could acquire full information on the final key without introducing any error. Finally, we discuss some counter measures against our and earlier attacks.

description: With environmental and energy source concerns on the rise, using agricultural fats and oils as fuel in diesel engines has captured increasing attention. Substituting petroleum diesel with biodiesel may reduce air emissions, increase the domestic supply of fuel, and create new markets for farmers. U.S. agricultural fats and oils could support a large amount of biodiesel, but high production costs and competing uses for biodiesel feedstocks will likely prevent mass adoption of biodiesel fuel. Higher-priced niche markets could develop for biodiesels as a result of environmental regulations. Biodiesel has many environmental advantages relative to petroleum diesel, such as lower CO, CO2, SOx, and particulate matter emissions. Enhancing fuel properties by genetically modifiying oil crops could improve NOx emissions, cold flow, and oxidative stability, which have been identified as potential problems for biodiesel. Research activities need to be directed toward cost reduction, improving fuel properties, and analyzing the economic effects of biodiesel development on U.S. agriculture.

description: We study current fluctuations in a Y-shaped conductor connected to external leads with finite impedances. We show that, due to voltage fluctuations in the circuit, the moments of the transferred charges cannot be obtained from simple rescaling of the bare values already in the second moments. The cross-correlation between the output terminals can change from negative to positive under certain parameter regimes.

description: In this paper, we select a sample including 141 BEST time-integrated F spectra and 145 BEST peak flux P spectra observed by the Konus-Wind with known redshift to recheck the connection between the spectral width and $E_{iso}$ as well as $L_{iso}$. We define six types of absolute spectral widths. It is found that all of the rest-frame absolute spectral widths are strongly positive correlated with $E_{iso}$ as well as $L_{iso}$ for the long burst for both the F and P spectra. All of the short bursts are the outliers for width-$E_{iso}$ relation and most of the short bursts are consistent with the long bursts for the width-$L_{iso}$ relation for both F and P spectra. Moreover, all of the location energy, $E_{2}$ and $E_{1}$, corresponding to various spectral widths are also positive correlated with $E_{iso}$ as well as $L_{iso}$. We compare all of the relations with the Amati and Yonetoku relations and find the width-$E_{iso}$ and width-$L_{iso}$ relations when the widths are at about 90\% maximum of the $EF_{E}$ spectra almost overlap with Amati relation and Yonetoku relation, respectively. The correlations of $E_{2}-E_{iso}$, $E_{1}-E_{iso}$ and $E_{2}-L_{iso}$, $E_{1}-L_{iso}$ when the location energies are at 99\% maximum of the $EF_{E}$ spectra are very close to the Amati and Yonetoku relations, respectively. Therefore, we confirm the existence of tight width-$E_{iso}$ and width-$L_{iso}$ relations for long bursts. We further show that the spectral shape is indeed related to $E_{iso}$ and $L_{iso}$. The Amati and Yonetoku relations are not necessarily the best relationships to relate the energy to the $E_{iso}$ and $L_{iso}$. They may be the special cases of the width-$E_{iso}$ and width-$L_{iso}$ relations or the energy-$E_{iso}$ and energy-$L_{iso}$ relations.

description: Recent changes in structure of the U.S. pork industry reflect, in many ways, past changes in the broiler industry. Production contracts and vertical integration in the broiler industry facilitated rapid adoption of new technology, improved quality control, assured market outlets for broilers, and provided a steady flow of broilers for processing. Affordable, high-quality chicken products have contributed to continual increases in U.S. chicken consumption, which has surpassed pork and beef on a per capita basis. Incentives for contracting and vertical integration in the pork industry may yield comparable results. If so, these arrangements might be expected to result in larger supplies of higher quality pork products at economical prices.

description: We present the first sample of galaxy clusters selected on the basis of their weak gravitational lensing shear. The shear induced by a cluster is a function of its mass profile and its redshift relative to the background galaxies being sheared; in contrast to more traditional methods of selecting clusters, shear selection does not depend on the cluster's star formation history, baryon content, or dynamical state. Because mass is the property of clusters which provides constraints on cosmological parameters, the dependence on these other parameters could induce potentially important biases in traditionally-selected samples. Comparison of a shear-selected sample with optically and X-ray selected samples is therefore of great importance. Here we present the first step toward a new shear-selected sample: the selection of cluster candidates from the first 8.6 deg$^2$ of the 20 deg$^2$ Deep Lens Survey (DLS), and tabulation of their basic properties such as redshifts and optical and X-ray counterparts.
description: v2 as published in ApJ, 45 pages, 18 figures. Biggest change from v1 is addition of a figure showing the 1-point distribution of pixels in the mass maps and control "mass maps" using the non-tangential component of shear, demonstrating that all candidate peaks are higher than any peak seen in the control maps

description: We develop a functional integral formalism for ultracold gases of fermionic atoms. It describes the BEC - BCS crossover and involves both atom and molecule fields. Beyond mean field theory we include the fluctuations of the molecule field by the solution of gap equations. In the BEC limit, we find that the low temperature behavior is described by a Bogoliubov theory for bosons. For a narrow Feshbach resonance these bosons can be associated with microscopic molecules. In contrast, for a broad resonance the interaction between the atoms is approximately pointlike and microscopic molecules are irrelevant. The bosons represent now correlated atom pairs or composite ``dressed molecules''. The low temperature results agree with quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Our formalism can treat with general inhomogeneous situations in a trap. For not too strong inhomogeneities the detailed properties of the trap are not needed for the computation of the fluctuation effects - they enter only in the solutions of the field equations.

description: Since 1985, U.S. agricultural producers have been required to practice soil conservation on highly erodible cropland and conserve wetlands as a condition of farm program eligibility. This report discusses the general characteristics of compliance incentives, evaluates their effectiveness in reducing erosion in the program's current form, and explores the potential for expanding the compliance approach to address nutrient runoff from crop production. While soil erosion has, in fact, been reduced on land subject to Conservation Compliance, erosion is also down on land not subject to Conservation Compliance, indicating the influence of other factors. Analysis to isolate the influence of Conservation Compliance incentives from other factors suggests that about 25 percent of the decline in soil erosion between 1982 and 1997 can be attributed to Conservation Compliance. This report also finds that compliance incentives have likely deterred conversion of noncropped highly erodible land and wetland to cropland, and that a compliance approach could be used effectively to address nutrient runoff from crop production.

We attack the state-of-the-art face recognition system (ArcFace) to test our algorithm. Another network with different architecture (FaceNet) is used as an independent critic showing that the target person can be identified with the reconstructed image even with no access to the attacked model. Furthermore, our algorithm requires a significantly less number of queries compared to the state-of-the-art solution.

description: Over the next several years, crop prices are projected to be below to slightly above commodity loan rates. As a result, marketing loan benefits to farmers, in the form of loan deficiency payments and marketing loan gains from the commodity loan program, are likely to continue to be sizeable. The level of realized per-unit revenues facilitated by marketing loans exceeds commodity loan rates, thereby raising expected net returns to farmers. Model simulations show that the loan program can raise total acreage planted to major field crops, generally increasing levels of domestic use and exports while lowering crop prices. Cross-commodity effects of supply response to relative returns (including marketing loan benefits), however, result in acreage shifts among competing crops, which can lead to reductions in plantings of some crops in some years. Most impacts occur in the years when there are marketing loan benefits, with little effect in subsequent years when prices rise high enough to eliminate marketing loan benefits. The livestock sector benefits from these outcomes because of generally lower feed costs.

Subjects: Health Economics and Policy

description: We examine five approaches economists and health policy analysts have developed for evaluating policy affecting health a safety: cost-of-illness, willingness-to-pay, cost-effectiveness analysis, risk-risk analysis, and health-health analysis. We examine the theoretical basis and empirical application of each approach and investigate the influences that assumptions embedded in each approach have on policy guidance. We reach four principal conclusions. First, the approaches are not interchangeable: they measure different things. Even estimates using the same approach are often not comparable because, in practice, there is little consistency in the application of any of the approaches. Second, the usefulness of each approach depends on the unit of account. The philosophical decision to eschew the monetization of health costs or benefits constrains the ability of the approach to rank policy options and to gauge the social desirability of policy. Third, all of the approaches except risk-risk analysis and one variation of cost-effectiveness analysis incorporate the effects of income and circumstance. As a result, policy guidance could be influenced by the distribution of income. Fourth, the theory and practice of willingness-to-pay estimation are in opposition. While it is now common practice for regulatory agencies to adopt the willingness-to-pay approach for estimating health and safety benefits, they do so by assuming away the importance of individual preferences. We build on these four conclusions to suggest the appropriate use of each approach.

description: This work investigates the suppression of individual harmonics, simultaneously affecting specific even and odd orders in the high-harmonic spectra generated by strongly tailored, two-colour, multi-cycle laser pulses in neon. The resulting spectra are systematically studied as a function of the electric-field shape in a symmetry-broken ($ω$-$2ω$) and symmetry-preserved ($ω$-$3ω$) configuration. The peak suppression is reproduced by macroscopic strong-field approximation calculations and is found to be unique to symmetry-broken fields ($ω$-$2ω$). Additionally, semi-classical calculations further corroborate the observation and reveal their underlying mechanism, where a nontrivial spectral interference between subsequent asymmetric half-cycles is found to be responsible for the suppression.

description: Forecasting models have been influential in shaping decision-making in the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is concern that their predictions may have been misleading. Here, we dissect the predictions made by four models for the daily COVID-19 death counts between March 25 and June 5 in New York state, as well as the predictions of ICU bed utilisation made by the influential IHME model. We evaluated the accuracy of the point estimates and the accuracy of the uncertainty estimates of the model predictions. First, we compared the "ground truth" data sources on daily deaths against which these models were trained. Three different data sources were used by these models, and these had substantial differences in recorded daily death counts. Two additional data sources that we examined also provided different death counts per day. For accuracy of prediction, all models fared very poorly. Only 10.2% of the predictions fell within 10% of their training ground truth, irrespective of distance into the future. For accurate assessment of uncertainty, only one model matched relatively well the nominal 95% coverage, but that model did not start predictions until April 16, thus had no impact on early, major decisions. For ICU bed utilisation, the IHME model was highly inaccurate; the point estimates only started to match ground truth after the pandemic wave had started to wane. We conclude that trustworthy models require trustworthy input data to be trained upon. Moreover, models need to be subjected to prespecified real time performance tests, before their results are provided to policy makers and public health officials.

description: In Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), inference based on communicated data is of critical significance as it can be used to manipulate or damage the control operations by adversaries. This calls for efficient mechanisms for secure transmission of data since control systems are becoming increasingly distributed over larger geographical areas. Distortion based security, recently proposed as one candidate for secure transmissions in CPS, is not only more appropriate for these applications but also quite frugal in terms of prior requirements on shared keys. In this paper, we propose distortion-based metrics to protect CPS communication and show that it is possible to confuse adversaries with just a few bits of pre-shared keys. In particular, we will show that a linear dynamical system can communicate its state in a manner that prevents an eavesdropper from accurately learning the state.

description: Colombeau generalized functions invariant under smooth (additive) one-parameter groups are characterized. This characterization is applied to generalized functions invariant under orthogonal groups of arbitrary signature, such as groups of rotations or the Lorentz group. Further, a one-dimensional Colombeau generalized function with two (real) periods is shown to be a generalized constant, when the ratio of the periods is an algebraic nonrational number. Finally, a nonstandard Colombeau generalized function invariant under standard translations is shown to be constant.

title: Promoting transferability: Insights from economic evaluations of public health interventions to tackle malaria in central Senegal
Creators: name: Pitt, C

description: Health economic evaluation seeks to guide priority setting by generating evidence on the relative efficiency of alternative policy choices. Yet, the volume and quality of economic evaluations are insufficient to inform the vast array of policy choices, especially in low- and lower-middle-income countries. This thesis aims to inform policy choices regarding strategies to tackle malaria and to improve methods to transfer economic evaluation evidence across contexts. A bibliometric analysis of the applied economic evaluation literature frames the thesis. Two economic evaluations were conducted sequentially alongside two cluster-randomized controlled trials in approximately the same population of over 500,000 people in four districts of central Senegal. The first evaluation explored the financial and economic costs of equipping community health workers to deliver seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) door-to-door to children under 10 years of age. It revealed substantial economies of scale, with the largest primary healthcare facility catchment areas (by population) incurring the lowest average costs per child treated. The second evaluation assessed the costs and cost-effectiveness of several multi-component, geographically targeted, malaria strategies in a low transmission context. Building on the analysis of SMC, the data collected in the second trial was used to develop and populate a simple, transparent, flexible, and intuitive cost model, which projects how the costs of four interventions may be expected to vary outside the study setting, in other contexts, and with certain changes to the interventions themselves, as well as with input prices and epidemiology. Drawing on the two economic evaluations and a critical review of wide-ranging literatures relevant to transferability, the thesis concludes by proposing guidance for the design and conduct of economic evaluations alongside trials or pilots in ways that promote transferability. In particular, it recommends efforts from the outset of the evaluation to identify and narrow the “transferability gap” between planned implementation within the trial or pilot and the intended decision contexts.

description: In this work we use the random matrix theory (RMT) to correctly describethe behavior of spectral statistical properties of the sea surface temperatureof oceans. This oceanographic variable plays an important role in theglobalclimate system. The data were obtained from National Oceanic and Atmo-spheric Administration (NOAA) and delimited for the period 1982 to 2016.The results show that oceanographic systems presented specific $β$ values thatcan be used to classify each ocean according to its correlation behavior. Thenearest-neighbors spacing of correlation matrix for north, central and south ofthe three oceans get close to a RMT distribution. However, the regions delim-ited in the Antarctic pole exhibited the distribution of the nearest-neighborsspacing well described by the Poisson model, which shows astatistical changeof RMT to Poisson fluctuations.

description: A new method based on the combination of small-anglescattering, reverse Monte Carlo simulations, and an aggregate recognition algorithm is proposed to characterize the structure of nanoparticle suspensions in solvents and polymer nanocomposites, allowing detailedstudies of the impact of different nanoparticle surface modifications.Experimental small-angle scattering is reproduced using simulated annealing of configurations of polydisperse particles in a simulation box compatible with the lowest experimental q-vector. Then, properties of interest likeaggregation states are extracted from these configurations and averaged. This approach has been applied to silane surface-modified silica nanoparticles with different grafting groups, in solvents and after casting into polymer matrices.It is shown that the chemistry of the silane function, in particular mono- or trifunctionality possibly related to patch formation, affects the dispersion state in a given medium, in spite of an unchanged alkylchain length. Our approach may be applied to study any dispersion or aggregation state of nanoparticles. Concerningnanocomposites, the method has potential impact on the design of new formulations allowing controlled tuning of nanoparticle dispersion.

description: The data of inelastic 16O+16O scattering to the lowest 2+ and 3- excited states of 16O have been measured at Elab = 250, 350, 480, 704 and 1120 MeV and analyzed consistently in the distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA), using the semi- microscopic optical potentials and inelastic form factors given by the folding model, to reveal possible refractive structure of the nuclear rainbow that was identified earlier in the elastic 16O+16O scattering channel at the same energies. Given the known transition strengths of the 2+ and 3- states of 16O well determined from the (e,e') data, the DWBA description of the inelastic data over the whole angular range was possible only if the absorption in the exit channels is significantly increased (especially, for the 16O+16O(2+) exit channel). Although the refractive pattern of the inelastic 16O+16O scattering was found to be less pronounced compared to that observed in the elastic scattering channel, a clear remnant of the main rainbow maximum could still be seen in the inelastic cross section at Elab = 350 - 704 MeV.

description: There are many factors that impact profitability in cow-calf beef production. For example, retaining a female that suffers a failed pregnancy decreases the likelihood of a beef cow or heifer being profitable over her life. Several factors can cause a failed pregnancy, but retaining females that calve late within a defined calving season (days between birth of the first and last calf of an individual herd and/or multiple herds) can increase the likelihood of future failed pregnancy (Mousel et al., 2012). Late calving females get less time for uterine repair (involution) and overcoming postpartum anestrous before the next breeding season (postpartum interval), reducing the likelihood of the female becoming pregnant during the next breeding season. For example, a study found heifers that calved within the first 22 days of the defined calving season were more likely to remain in the herd longer (or increased longevity) than heifers that calved on day 23 or later (Mousel et al., 2012). A long calving season generally results in a lighter average weaning weight with a wider range of calf weights. Most cow-calf producers in the United States sell calves at weaning, and weaning typically happens when time allows regardless of calf age or weight. Therefore, calves born late in the calving season will be younger and lighter weight than early born calves. Lighter weight calves and less uniformity in calf weights can impact profitability of the herd. Calves are typically sold in lots grouped on weight ranges, and buyers commonly pay higher prices for cattle sold in larger lots (i.e., more uniform) to fill and ship truckloads more efficiently. Shortening the calving season provides an opportunity to capture price premiums from weaning weight uniformity when marketing calves (Boyer, Griffith and Pohler, 2020). However, identifying a strategy to shift to a shorter calving season can be difficult. This publication analyzes not just what happens to net returns when shortening the calving season but also what is the most profitable strategy for shortening the calving season length.
