description: Minimum tillage has been promoted for about two decades as a way to conserve soils and to increase agricultural productivity in Zambia and sub-Saharan Africa. However, the extent of its uptake by smallholder farmers remains debatable. This paper assesses factors influencing the uptake and uptake intensity of minimum tillage, using large household survey data for the period 2010 to 2014 in Zambia. We apply double-hurdle models to account for corner solution outcomes resulting from the limited uptake of minimum tillage. Less than 5% and 10% of smallholders used minimum tillage per year as the main tillage method at the national level and in the top 10 districts with the highest use rates respectively. Low seasonal rainfall and being in districts where minimum tillage has been promoted for over 10 years increase the likelihood of minimum tillage uptake and uptake intensity, but not for all its components. These results have implications for targeting future programmes aimed at promoting minimum tillage.

description: Context: Software has become an innovative solution nowadays for many applications and methods in science and engineering. Ensuring the quality and correctness of software is challenging because each program has different configurations and input domains. To ensure the quality of software, all possible configurations and input combinations need to be evaluated against their expected outputs. However, this exhaustive test is impractical because of time and resource constraints due to the large domain of input and configurations. Thus, different sampling techniques have been used to sample these input domains and configurations. Objective: Combinatorial testing can be used to effectively detect faults in software-under-test. This technique uses combinatorial optimization concepts to systematically minimize the number of test cases by considering the combinations of inputs. This paper proposes a new strategy to generate combinatorial test suite by using cuckoo search concepts. Method: Cuckoo Search is used in the design and implementation of a strategy to construct optimized combinatorial sets. The strategy consists of different algorithms for construction. These algorithms are combined to serve the Cuckoo Search. Results: The efficiency and performance of the new technique were proven through different experiment sets. The effectiveness of the strategy is assessed by applying the generated test suites on a real-world case study for the purpose of functional testing. Conclusion: Results show that the generated test suites can detect faults effectively. In addition, the strategy also opens a new direction for the application of Cuckoo Search in the context of software engineering.
Paper straws : an investigation into surface modification and hydrophobization of cellulose

description: We conducted experiments involving the hydrophobization of paper in a silylation reaction with chloro(dimethyl)octadecylsilane in various solvents, with the goal of improving the quality of the current model for paper straws and potentially tableware. The ImageJ program was used to quantify hydrophobicity by calculating contact angles, which we compared between treatment groups, and with untreated paper and plastic straws. Samples were exposed to a variety of liquids for a series of one hour periods for a total of six hours. After each hour, contact angle measurements were taken. Analysis of results suggests that hydrophobicity declines with time, presumably due to leaching of silanol from the treated paper. Contact angles of the treated paper remain larger than that of untreated paper straws throughout testing. Furthermore, samples that were silylated using dioxane as a solvent were better able to maintain hydrophobicity than samples silylated using toluene as a solvent.

description: This study investigates the structure of farmers’ risk perceptions in an arid area where agriculture faces many difficulties. Principal component analysis identified four components of risk from amongst twenty Likert scale items, including aspects of the natural and institutional environments. Index scores were created for each of the four components of risk, which were then explained using OLS regression. The intensity of perceived risk was inversely correlated with profitability of the farm enterprise. Management experience, time spent in nature and more education corresponded to perceptions of less risk, while risk increased with farm size, the presence of heirs, the severity of the 2011/2012 drought and the threat of jackal predation. More educated and experienced farmers, who are more profitable, were found to be more likely to be moderates, while those with heirs to succeed them and those with more intense jackal problems were more likely to be in the group with greater concerns. Four important results were found: 1) risk perceptions vary even within an apparently homogenous community, 2) economic factors dominate risk perceptions, 3) climate change concerns are crowded out by more immediate issues, and 4) coming to terms with predator management is a major concern.

 Material examined. Original description and illustration (Moore 1883).
 Note. The species is unknown for us; however, judging by the original description and illustration of the type specimen (Fig. 8), the species probably does not belong to the D. eurychlora group, but could belong to the other genus (supposedly Tambana Moore, 1882). Unfortunately, the description and illustration are not sufficient for the identitification of the species. Hampson (1894) separated D. ornata from D. eurychlora.

description: What gravitational field is generated by a massive quantum system in a spatial superposition? Despite decades of intensive theoretical and experimental research, we still do not know the answer. On the experimental side, the difficulty lies in the fact that gravity is weak and requires large masses to be detectable. However, it becomes increasingly difficult to generate spatial quantum superpositions for increasingly large masses, in light of the stronger environmental effects on such systems. Clearly, a delicate balance between the need for strong gravitational effects and weak decoherence should be found. We show that such a trade off could be achieved in an optomechanics scenario that allows to determine whether the gravitational field generated by a quantum system in a spatial superposition is in a coherent superposition or not. We estimate the magnitude of the effect and show that it offers perspectives for observability.

description: We show that Thompson's group F does not satisfy Cannon's almost convexity condition AC(n) for any integer n in the standard finite two generator presentation. To accomplish this, we construct a family of pairs of elements at distance n from the identity and distance 2 from each other, which are not connected by a path lying inside the n-ball of length less than k for increasingly large k. Our techniques rely upon Fordham's method for calculating the length of a word in F and upon an analysis of the generators' geometric actions on the tree pair diagrams representing elements of F.

 Dieses Taxon ist G. nitidus HORSTMANN sehr ähnlich. Nach den von HORSTMANN (1986) angegebenen Unterschieden (relative Länge basaler Fühlerglieder, relative Länge der Femora III und Skulptur der Mesopleuren) lässt sich das vorliegende Material nicht eindeutig zwei Arten zuordnen. Im weiblichen Geschlecht ist das 2. Gastertergit bei den Tieren aus Skandinavien ausser einem breiten Hinterrand deutlich gekörnelt und matt, während dieses bei den Exemplaren aus den Alpen deutlich glänzt und nur sehr schwach gekörnelt ist. Bei dem einzig untersuchten Männchen aus Skandinavien, ein relativ kleines Exemplar, sind die Ocellen grösser als bei den Tieren aus den Alpen. Dies könnte auf die Existenz von zwei getrennten Arten hinweisen. Zur Klärung dieses Problems müsste mehr Material, vor allem Männchen, studiert werden. Provisorisch werden hier zwei getrennte Arten angenommen, wobei die Abgrenzung im weiblichen Geschlecht anhand der Skulptur des 2. Gastertergits vorgenommen wird. Dadurch ergibt sich eine andere Auffassung als in HORSTMANN (1986) und die nicht untersuchten Paratypen von G. nitidus HORSTMANN sind nach den Angaben in der Beschreibung zu G. glacialis (HOLMGREN) zu stellen. Nach der hier vorgenommenen Auftrennung ist G. glacialis (HOLMGREN) nur aus Skandinavien und England und G. nitidus HORSTMANN nur aus den Alpen bekannt.

description: We make a conjecture about mean curvature flow of Lagrangian submanifolds of Calabi-Yau manifolds, expanding on \cite{Th}. We give new results about the stability condition, and propose a Jordan-Hölder-type decomposition of (special) Lagrangians. The main results are the uniqueness of special Lagrangians in hamiltonian deformation classes of Lagrangians, under mild conditions, and a proof of the conjecture in some cases with symmetry: mean curvature flow converging to Shapere-Vafa's examples of SLags.

We investigate the dynamical evolution of enstrophy for large-scale quasi-geostrophic flows under random wind forcing. We obtain upper bounds on the enstrophy, as well as results establishing its Hölder continuity and describing the small-time asymptotics.

Let π: Y --> X be the blowup of X along the ideal sheaf of Z, E_0 the pull-back of a general hyperplane in X and E the exceptional divisor. In this paper, we study projective embeddings of Y given by the divisor tE_0 - eE. We give explicit values of d and δsuch that for all e > 0 and t > ed + δ, these embeddings is projectively normal and arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay. We also study the regularity of the ideal sheaf and syzygies of these embeddings. When X is a surface and Z is a 0-dimensional subscheme of X, we show that these embeddings possess N_p property for t >> e.

description: A nonequilibrium Potts-like model with $q$ absorbing states is studied using Monte Carlo simulations. In two dimensions and $q=3$ the model exhibits a discontinuous transition. For the three-dimensional case and $q=2$ the model exhibits a continuous, transition with $β=1$ (mean-field). Simulations are inconclusive, however, in the two-dimensional case for $q=2$. We suggest that in this case the model is close to or at the crossing point of lines separating three different types of phase transitions. The proposed phase diagram in the $(q,d)$ plane is very similar to that of the equilibrium Potts model. In addition, our simulations confirm field-theory prediction that in two dimensions a branching-annihilating random walk model without parity conservation belongs to the directed percolation universality class.

In this article, we show that if $R$ tends to infinity, one almost surely recovers the Bessel point process. In fact, we show this convergence for a deterministic class of probability measures, to which the conditional measure of the Bessel point process almost surely belongs.

description: We discuss synergies in the combination of the first-generation JHF to Super-Kamiokande and NuMI off-axis superbeam experiments. With synergies we mean effects which go beyond simply adding the statistics of the two experiments. As a first important result, we do not observe interesting synergy effects in the combination of the two experiments as they are planned right now. However, we find that with minor modifications, such as a different NuMI baseline or a partial antineutrino running, one could do much richer physics with both experiments combined. Specifically, we demonstrate that one could, depending on the value of the solar mass squared difference, either measure the sign of the atmospheric mass squared difference or CP violation already with the initial stage experiments. Our main results are presented in a way that can be easily interpreted in terms of the forthcoming KamLAND result.

description: Corynoneura sertaodaquina Wiedenbrug et Trivinho-Strixino
 Material examined. One pharate female with pupal exuviae, two pupal exuviae, BRAZIL, GO, Alto Paraíso de Goiás, Fazenda São Bento, 14.1597°S, 47.5937°W, 18.i.2011, drift net, S. Wiedenbrug; two pharate males with pupal exuviae, one female with pupal and larval exuviae, one pharate female with pupal exuviae, eight pupal exuviae, MS, Bodoquena, Fazenda Califórnia, 2° stream on the Trilha da Gruta. 1.iv.2012, drift net, S. Wiedenbrug; one male and one female, both with pupal and larval exuviae, SP, Ubatuba, Sertão da Quina, Cachoeira da Renata, Bridge, 23°31.231´S, 45°14.625´W, 33 m a.s.l., moss, 6.i.2011, S. Wiedenbrug; one male, SP, São Simão, Ponte Tio Zito, 19.i.2003, light trap, H.F. Mendes and T. Andersen; one pharate male with pupal exuviae, PR, São Luís do Purunha, 1020 m a.s.l., pool of a stream, 25°27.180´S, 49°43.435´W, 14.i.2010, S. Wiedenbrug.
 Remarks. All material examined fit in the species diagnosis, except the male hypopygium that shows a small aedeagal lobus. The holotype of C. sertaodaquina is a teneral male, and the aedeagal lobe is difficult to discern in that exemplar. An associated male with larval and pupal exuviae was collected near the type locality (see material examined). The larva and pupa are the same as C. sertaodaquina and male hypopygium have a small aedeagal lobe (Fig. 28 A–B).
 Distribution. Corynoneura sertaodaquina was described from São Paulo State, Brazil (Wiedenbrug & Trivinho-Strixino 2011). This species is herein recorded, for the first time, from small streams of Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás and Paraná States.

description: The vertical distribution of dust in debris disks is sensitive to the number and size of large planetesimals dynamically stirring the disk, and is therefore well-suited for constraining the prevalence of otherwise unobservable Uranus and Neptune analogs. Information regarding stirring bodies has previously been inferred from infrared and optical observations of debris disk vertical structure, but theoretical works predict that the small particles traced by short-wavelength observations will be `puffed up' by radiation pressure, yielding only upper limits. The large grains that dominate the disk emission at millimeter wavelengths are much less sensitive to the effects of stellar radiation or stellar winds, and therefore trace the underlying mass distribution more directly. Here we present ALMA 1.3 mm dust continuum observations of the debris disk around the nearby M star AU Mic. The 3 au spatial resolution of the observations, combined with the favorable edge-on geometry of the system, allows us to measure the vertical thickness of the disk. We report a scale height-to-radius aspect ratio of $h = 0.031_{-0.004}^{+0.005}$ between radii of $\sim 23$ au and $\sim 41$ au. Comparing this aspect ratio to a theoretical model of size-dependent velocity distributions in the collisional cascade, we find that the perturbing bodies embedded in the local disk must be larger than about 400 km, and the largest perturbing body must be smaller than roughly 1.8 M$_\odot$. These measurements rule out the presence of a gas giant or Neptune analog near the $\sim 40$ au outer edge of the debris ring, but are suggestive of large planetesimals or an Earth-sized planet stirring the dust distribution.

description: The Euclid telescope, due for launch in 2021, will perform an imaging and slitless spectroscopy survey over half the sky, to map baryon wiggles and weak lensing. During the survey Euclid is expected to resolve 100,000 strong gravitational lens systems. This is ideal to find rare lens configurations, provided they can be identified reliably and on a reasonable timescale. For this reason we have developed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that can be used to identify images containing lensing systems. CNNs have already been used for image and digit classification as well as being used in astronomy for star-galaxy classification. Here our CNN is trained and tested on Euclid-like and KiDS-like simulations from the Euclid Strong Lensing Group, successfully classifying 77% of lenses, with an area under the ROC curve of up to 0.96. Our CNN also attempts to classify the lenses in COSMOS HST F814W-band images. After convolution to the Euclid resolution, we find we can recover most systems that are identifiable by eye. The Python code is available on Github.

description: It is shown that any convolution operator in the time domain can be represented exactly as a multiplication operator in the time-scale (wavelet) domain. The Mellin transform gives a one-to-one correspondence between frequency filters (multiplications in the frequency domain) and scale filters (multiplications in the scale domain), subject to the convergence of the defining integrals. The usual wavelet reconstruction theorem is a special case. Applications to the denoising of random signals are proposed. It is argued that the present method is more suitable for removing the effects of atmospheric turbulence than the conventional procedures because it is ideally suited for resolving spectral power laws.

Evaluating two-electron-repulsion integrals over arbitrary orbitals using Zero Variance Monte Carlo: Application to Full Configuration Interaction calculations with Slater-type orbitals
Creators: name: Caffarel, Michel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A Monte Carlo method for evaluating multi-center two-electron-repulsion integrals over any type of orbitals (Slater, Sturmian, finite-range, numerical, etc.) is presented. The approach is based on a simple and universal (orbital-independent) gaussian sampling of the two-electron configuration space and on the use of efficient zero-variance Monte Carlo estimators. Quite remarkably, it is shown that the high level of accuracy required on two-electron integrals to make Hartree-Fock (HF) and configuration interaction (CI) calculations feasible can be achieved. A first zero-variance estimator is built by introducing a gaussian approximation of the orbitals and by evaluating the two-electron integrals using a correlated sampling scheme for the difference between exact and approximate orbitals. A second one is based on the introduction of a general coordinate transformation. The price to pay for this simple and general Monte Carlo scheme is the high computational cost required. However, we argue that the great simplicity of the algorithm, its embarrassingly parallel nature, its ideal adaptation to modern computational platforms and, most importantly, the possibility of using more compact and physically meaningful basis sets make nevertheless the method attractive. HF and near full CI (FCI) calculations using Slater-type orbitals (STO) are reported for Be, CH4 and [H2N(CH)NH2]^+ (a simple model of cyanine). To the best of our knowledge, our largest FCI calculation involving 18 active electrons distributed among 90 orbitals for the cyanine molecule, is the most extensive molecular calculation performed so far using pure STO orbitals (no gaussian approximation, even for the challenging four-center two-electron integrals).

A Sticky Situation : Comparing the Adhesive Strength of Pine Resin to Commercial Glues

description: For hundreds of years, Indigenous people of British Columbia have taken advantage of the adhesive and waterproof properties of resin, a natural excretion of many conifers, to strengthen and waterproof their tools, vessels, and buildings. The study we conducted examined the adhesive strengths of unpurified pine resin and an approximate 50:50 ratio mixture of pine resin and beeswax on wood surfaces. We aimed to evaluate pine resin as a natural alternative to certain commercially marketed glues by comparing their respective adhesive strengths. Specifically, a comparison was made to the adhesive abilities of Elmer’s all-purpose craft glue, fish glue, and hot glue from a glue gun. It was predicted that the pine resin would show significant adhesive strength comparable to certain commercial glues, and it was indeed found to have a mean adhesive strength statistically similar to that of commercially sold fish glue, but dissimilar to Elmer’s glue and glue from a glue gun. However, large standard deviations were present in the mean forces of separation for the adhesives, indicating that similarities likely exist even between Elmer’s glue and pine resin. This implicates the potential for pine resin to function as an adhesive for casual usages on wood surfaces and as an alternative to chemical-based glues and commercially sold fish glue.

description: The dynamics of immunity are crucial to understanding the long-term patterns of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Several cases of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 have been documented 48–142 days after the initial infection and immunity to seasonal circulating coronaviruses is estimated to be shorter than 1 year. Using an age-structured, deterministic model, we explore potential immunity dynamics using contact data from the UK population. In the scenario where immunity to SARS-CoV-2 lasts an average of three months for non-hospitalized individuals, a year for hospitalized individuals, and the effective reproduction number after lockdown ends is 1.2 (our worst-case scenario), we find that the secondary peak occurs in winter 2020 with a daily maximum of 387 000 infectious individuals and 125 000 daily new cases; threefold greater than in a scenario with permanent immunity. Our models suggest that longitudinal serological surveys to determine if immunity in the population is waning will be most informative when sampling takes place from the end of the lockdown in June until autumn 2020. After this period, the proportion of the population with antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 is expected to increase due to the secondary wave. Overall, our analysis presents considerations for policy makers on the longer-term dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in the UK and suggests that strategies designed to achieve herd immunity may lead to repeated waves of infection as immunity to reinfection is not permanent.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Modelling that shaped the early COVID-19 pandemic response in the UK’.
Ensemble inequivalence: A formal approach

description: Ensemble inequivalence has been observed in several systems. In particular it has been recently shown that negative specific heat can arise in the microcanonical ensemble in the thermodynamic limit for systems with long-range interactions. We display a connection between such behaviour and a mean-field like structure of the partition function. Since short-range models cannot display this kind of behaviour, this strongly suggests that such systems are necessarily non-mean field in the sense indicated here. We further show that a broad class of systems with non-integrable interactions are indeed of mean-field type in the sense specified, so that they are expected to display ensemble inequivalence as well as the peculiar behaviour described above in the microcanonical ensemble.

description: This paper presents novel ultrareliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) techniques for URLLC services, such as Tactile Internet services. Among typical use-cases of URLLC services are tele-operation, immersive virtual reality, cooperative automated driving, and so on. In such URLLC services, new kinds of traffic such as haptic information including kinesthetic information and tactile information need to be delivered in addition to high-quality video and audio traffic in traditional multimedia services. Further, such a variety of traffic has various characteristics in terms of packet sizes and data rates with a variety of requirements of latency and reliability. Furthermore, some traffic may occur in a sporadic manner but require reliable delivery of packets of medium to large sizes within a low latency, which is not supported by current state-of-the-art wireless communication systems and is very challenging for future wireless communication systems. Thus, to meet such a variety of tight traffic requirements in a wireless communication system, novel technologies from the physical layer to the network layer need to be devised. In this paper, some novel physical layer technologies such as waveform multiplexing, multiple access scheme, channel code design, synchronization, and full-duplex transmission for spectrally-efficient URLLC are introduced. In addition, a novel performance evaluation approach, which combines a ray-tracing tool and system-level simulation, is suggested for evaluating the performance of the proposed schemes. Simulation results show the feasibility of the proposed schemes providing realistic URLLC services in realistic geographical environments, which encourages further efforts to substantiate the proposed work.

description: We numerically explore an alternative discretization of continuum $\text{SU}(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory on a Euclidean spacetime lattice, originally introduced by Budzcies and Zirnbauer for gauge group $\text{U}(N_c)$. This discretization can be reformulated such that the self-interactions of the gauge field are induced by a path integral over $N_b$ auxiliary bosonic fields, which couple linearly to the gauge field. In the first paper of the series we have shown that the theory reproduces continuum $\text{SU}(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory in $d=2$ dimensions if $N_b$ is larger than $N_c-\frac{3}{4}$ and conjectured, following the argument of Budzcies and Zirnbauer, that this remains true for $d>2$. In the present paper, we test this conjecture by performing lattice simulations of the simplest nontrivial case, i.e., gauge group $\text{SU}(2)$ in three dimensions. We show that observables computed in the induced theory, such as the static $q\bar q$ potential and the deconfinement transition temperature, agree with the same observables computed from the ordinary plaquette action up to lattice artifacts. We also find that the bound for $N_b$ can be relaxed to $N_c-\frac{5}{4}$ as conjectured in our earlier paper. Studies of how the new discretization can be used to change the order of integration in the path integral to arrive at dual formulations of QCD are left for future work.
