description: Malnutrition in developing regions affects millions of people. The serious health issues that result from malnutrition call for appropriate policy interventions. Livestock is an important financial and nutritional asset that affects household food consumption and health. The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of animal disease control on human food consumption. An agricultural household model is extended to link animal health to food consumption choices. We use Population Based Animal Syndromic Surveillance and Socio–Economic Survey data conducted in Kenya to test the hypothesis whether households with health livestock consume significantly more food sourced from animals than households who have sick animals. Results show that households with more unhealthy livestock consume significantly less milk and beef, which are high-quality protein sources and among the best sources of energy from fat. Thus policies concerning investment in livestock health may reduce the risk of malnutrition and disease.

Scaling behavior of the order parameter and its conjugated field in an absorbing phase transition around the upper critical dimension

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We analyse numerically the critical behavior of an absorbing phase transition in a conserved lattice gas in an external field. The external field is realized as a spontaneous creation of active particles which drives the system away from criticality. Nevertheless, the order parameter obeys certain scaling laws for sufficiently small external fields. These scaling laws are investigated and the corresponding exponents are determined in various dimensions ($D=2,3,4,5$). At the so-called upper critical dimension $D_{\text c}=4$ one has to modify the usual scaling laws by logarithmic corrections.

description: This study investigates whether peers are a contributing factor in childhood body-weight outcomes. Using an instrumental variables method on exogenously assigned peers, we find that the weight of peers within the same grade and school significantly impacts body mass index (BMI) z-score of an individual student. A typical student’s BMI z-score increases when facing heavier peers. The size of the peer-effect, however, is very modest. For a percentage point increase in the proportion of obese students in the same grade, a typical student’s BMI z-score increases by only 0.00341 standard deviations.

description: We predict the existence of large electric fields near the surface of superconducting bodies of ellipsoidal shape of dimensions comparable to the penetration depth. The electric field is quadrupolar in nature with significant corrections from higher order multipoles. Prolate (oblate) superconducting ellipsoids are predicted to exhibit fields consistent with negative (positive) quadrupole moments, reflecting the fundamental charge asymmetry of matter.

description: The influence of the stress state on the cross-slip rate in Al was analyzed by means of molecular dynamics simulations and transition state theory. The activation energy barrier in the absence of thermal energy was determined through the nudged elastic band method while the cross-slip rates were determined using molecular dynamics simulations for different magnitudes of the Schmid stress on the cross-slip plane, and of the Escaig stresses on the cross-slip and glide planes. The enthalpy barrier and the effective attempt frequency were determined from the average rates of cross-slip obtained from the molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that the different stress states influence the cross-slip rate assuming harmonic transition state theory. Moreover, the theoretical contributions to the enthalpy barrier (configurational and due to the interaction of the applied stress with the local stress field created by the defect) were identified from the atomistic simulations while the entropic contribution to the activation energy could be estimated by the Meyer-Neldel rule. Based on these results, an analytical expression of the activation enthalpy for cross-slip in Al as a function of the different combinations of Schmid and Escaig stress states was developed and validated. This expression can be easily used in dislocation dynamics simulations to evaluate the probability of cross-slip of screw dislocation segments.

description: It is argued that spectral features of quantal systems with random interactions can be given a geometric interpretation. This conjecture is investigated in the context of two simple models: a system of randomly interacting d bosons and one of randomly interacting fermions in a j=7/2 shell. In both examples the probability for a given state to become the ground state is shown to be related to a geometric property of a polygon or polyhedron which is entirely determined by particle number, shell size, and symmetry character of the states. Extensions to more general situations are discussed.

description: This paper investigates a central part of the argument that agricultural assistance by the United States to developing nations leads to diminished export markets for U.S. farmers. A sizeable cross section of low-income and lower-middle-income nations is used to provide statistical analyses of: ( 1) the link between agricultural productivity and economic performance, and (2) the link between economic performance and agricultural imports. The results show that a reasonably strong case can be made for the idea that advances in agricultural productivity are associated with longrun increases in imports of cereals and other agricultural products by less wealthy nations. The connection comes via the positive income effect of general economic development. For these countries, investments in agricultural development through successful assistance are not detrimental to U.S. farm export interests in the long run. They are generally beneficial. For middle-income nations, the case is less clear and more controversial. However, nothing in the cross-section data used suggests that farm productivity improvements in these nations is systematically threatening to U.S. agricultural trade in the long run.

description: Transient extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectroscopy probes core level transitions to unoccupied valence and conduction band states. Uncertainty remains to what degree the core-hole created by the XUV transition modifies the measurement of photoexcited electron and hole energies. Here, the Si {Ł_{2,3}} edge is measured after photoexcitation of electrons to the Δ, L, and Γ valleys of Si(100). The measured changes in the XUV transition probability do not energetically agree with the increasing electron photoexcitation energy. The data therefore experimentally confirm that, for the Si {Ł_{2,3}} edge, the time-dependent electron and hole energies are partially obscured by the core-hole perturbation. A model based on many-body approximations and the Bethe-Salpeter equation is successfully used to predict the core-hole{\apos}s modification of the final transition density of states in terms of both electronic and structural dynamics. The resulting fit time constants match the excited state electron thermalization time and the inter-valley electron-phonon, intra-valley electron-phonon, and phonon-phonon scattering times previously measured in silicon. The outlined approach is a more comprehensive framework for interpreting transient XUV absorption spectra in photoexcited semiconductors.
Generation of high-charge electron beam in a subcritical-density plasma through laser pulse self-trapping

description: To maximize the charge of a high-energy electron beam accelerated by an ultra-intense laser pulse propagating in a subcritical plasma, the pulse length should be longer than both the plasma wavelength and the laser pulse width, which is quite different from the standard bubble regime. In addition, the laser--plasma parameters should be chosen to produce the self-trapping regime of relativistic channeling, where the diffraction divergence is balanced by the relativistic nonlinearity such that the laser beam radius is unchanged during pulse propagation in a plasma over many Rayleigh lengths. The condition for such a self-trapping regime is the same as what was empirically found in several previous simulation studies in the form of the pulse width matching condition. Here, we prove these findings for a subcritical plasma, where the total charge of high-energy electrons reaches the multi-nC level, by optimization in a 3D PIC simulation study and compare the results with an analytic theory of relativistic self-focusing. A very efficient explicitly demonstrated generation of high-charge electron beams opens a way to a high-yield production of gammas, positrons, and photonuclear particles.

description: The magnetic field dependence of the capacitance of Pd-AlOx-Al thin-film structures has been measured. The observed quadratic dependence of capacitance on magnetic field is consistent with a theoretical model that includes the effect of a spin-dependent electrochemical potential on electron screening in the paramagnetic Pd. This spin-dependent electrochemical potential is related to the Zeeman splitting of the narrow d-bands in Pd. The quantitative details depend on the electronic band structure at the surface of Pd.

description: The objectives of this paper are to develop a measure of risk aversion based on the safety-first principle. The risk coefficient for a large number of farmers was positive indicating the tendency towards gambling in Bangladesh agriculture. Farmers who were near subsistence income (disaster level of income) tended to choose riskier crops such as HYV rice. The risk-aversion variable was highly correlated with demographic and socioeconomic variables. Large holders of land tended to be relatively more risk-averse than small holders of land and area allocated to HYV proportionally declined with increases in holding size. A three-equation model on HYV adoption decisions, fertilizer and hired labour was estimated with a risk-aversion variable based on the safety-first principle, and expected and significant signs were obtained with the risk-aversion variable in HYV and hired labour equations.

description: Variance changepoints in economics, finance, biomedicine, oceanography, etc. are frequent and significant. To better detect these changepoints, we propose a new technique for constructing confidence intervals for the variances of a noisy sequence with multiple changepoints by combining bootstrapping with the weighted sequential binary segmentation (WSBS) algorithm and the Bayesian information criterion (BIC). The intensity score obtained from the bootstrap replications is introduced to reflect the possibility that each location is, or is close to, one of the changepoints. On this basis, a new changepoint estimation is proposed, and its asymptotic properties are derived. The simulated results show that the proposed method has superior performance in comparison with the state-of-the-art segmentation methods. Finally, the method is applied to weekly stock prices, oceanographic data, DNA copy number data and traffic flow data.

description: FePt, FePd, CoPt, and CoPd in equilibrium exhibit the L1₀ structure with high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy making them attractive candidates for high-density magnetic recording. Magnetic properties of these films depend on the distribution and orientation of the L1₀ fraction controlled by diffusion on atomic scale. Epitaxial isotope-periodic natFePd/⁵⁷FePd alloy films were prepared by molecular beam epitaxy and heat treated at 500°C for various retention times. Isotope-sensitive non-destructive methods, neutron reflectometry and synchrotron Mössbauer reflectometry were applied to follow very short diffusion paths normal to the film plane. Squared diffusion lengths and diffusion profiles were obtained from the fitting of experimental reflectivity curves for each annealing treatment steps. The somewhat different diffusion lengths obtained for the neutron and synchrotronMössbauer reflectograms of the same samples are explained by the larger footprint of the sample in the neutron experiment for which interface inhomogeneities are to be averaged. Diffusion in the microscopically different local environments were modelled by piecewise constant diffusion coefficients in the regions identified as different species by conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy.

Class-specific residual constraint non-negative representation for pattern classification

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: Representation based classification method (RBCM) remains one of the hottest topics in the community of pattern recognition, and the recently proposed non-negative representation based classification (NRC) achieved impressive recognition results in various classification tasks. However, NRC ignores the relationship between the coding and classification stages. Moreover, there is no regularization term other than the reconstruction error term in the formulation of NRC, which may result in unstable solution leading to misclassification. To overcome these drawbacks of NRC, in this paper, we propose a class-specific residual constraint non-negative representation (CRNR) for pattern classification. CRNR introduces a class-specific residual constraint into the formulation of NRC, which encourages training samples from different classes to competitively represent the test sample. Based on the proposed CRNR, we develop a CRNR based classifier (CRNRC) for pattern classification. Experimental results on several benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of CRNRC over conventional RBCM as well as the recently proposed NRC. Moreover, CRNRC works better or comparable to some state-of-the-art deep approaches on diverse challenging pattern classification tasks. The source code of our proposed CRNRC is accessible at https://github.com/yinhefeng/CRNRC.

Electrodynamics of superconductors

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An alternate set of equations to describe the electrodynamics of superconductors at a macroscopic level is proposed. These equations resemble equations originally proposed by the London brothers but later discarded by them. Unlike the conventional London equations the alternate equations are relativistically covariant, and they can be understood as arising from the 'rigidity' of the superfluid wave function in a relativistically covariant microscopic theory. They predict that an internal 'spontaneous' electric field exists in superconductors, and that externally applied electric fields, both longitudinal and transverse, are screened over a London penetration length, as magnetic fields are. The associated longitudinal dielectric function predicts a much steeper plasmon dispersion relation than the conventional theory, and a blue shift of the minimum plasmon frequency for small samples. It is argued that the conventional London equations lead to difficulties that are removed in the present theory, and that the proposed equations do not contradict any known experimental facts. Experimental tests are discussed.

description: Rydberg-atom-enabled atomic vapor cell technologies show great potentials in developing devices for quantum enhanced sensors. In this paper, we demonstrate laser induced DC electric fields in an all-glass vapor cell without bulk or thin film electrodes. The spatial field distribution is mapped by Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency spectroscopy. We explain the measured with a boundary-value electrostatic model. This work may inspire new ideas for DC electric field control in designing miniaturized atomic vapor cell devices. Limitations and other charge effects are also discussed.

description: We investigate the role of the Coulomb and the vector-isovector $ρ$ potentials in the asymmetry of the neutron and proton pseudospin splittings in nuclei. To this end, we solve the Dirac equation for the nucleons using central vector and scalar potentials with Woods-Saxon shape and $Z$ and $N-Z$ dependent Coulomb and $ρ$ potentials added to the vector potential. We study the effect of these potentials on the energy splittings of proton and neutron pseudospin partners along a Sn isotopic chain. We use an energy decomposition proposed in a previous work to assess the effect of a pseudospin-orbit potential on those splittings. We conclude that the effect of the Coulomb potential is quite small and the $ρ$ potential gives the main contribution to the observed isospin asymmetry of the pseudospin splittings. This isospin asymmetry results from a cancellation of the various energy terms and cannot be attributed only to the pseudospin-orbit term, confirming the dynamical character of this symmetry pointed out in previous works.

description: This article analyses management of hydropower dams within monopolistic and oligopolistic competition and when hydroelectricity producers are risk averse and face demand uncertainty. In each type of market structure we analytically determine the water release path in closed-loop equilibrium. We show how a monopoly can manage its hydropower dams by additional pumping or storage depending on the relative abundance of water between different regions to smooth the effect of uncertainty on electricity prices. In the oligopolistic case with symmetric risk aversion coefficient, we determine the conditions under which the relative scarcity (abundance) of water in the dam of a hydroelectric operator can favor additional strategic pumping (storage) in its competitor’s dams. When there is asymmetry of the risk aversion coefficient, the firm’s hydroelectricity production increases as its competitor’s risk aversion increases, if and only if the average recharge speed of the competitor’s dam exceeds a certain threshold, which is an increasing function of its average water inflows.

Superconductivity in dilute SrTiO$_3$: a review

description: Doped SrTiO$_3$, one of the most dilute bulk systems to display superconductivity, is perhaps the first example of an unconventional superconductor, as it does not fit into the standard BCS paradigm. More than five decades of research has revealed a rich temperature-carrier concentration phase diagram that showcases a superconducting dome, proximity to a putative quantum critical point, Lifshitz transitions, a multi-gap pairing state and unusual normal-state transport properties. Research has also extended beyond bulk SrTiO$_3$, ushering the new field of SrTiO$_3$-based heterostructures. Because many of these themes are also featured in other quantum materials of contemporary interest, recent years have seen renewed interest in SrTiO$_3$. Here, we review the challenges and recent progress in elucidating the superconducting state of this model system. At the same time that its extreme dilution requires to revisit several of the approximations that constitute the successful Migdal-Eliashberg description of electron-phonon superconductivity, including the suppression of the Coulomb repulsion via the Tolmachev-Anderson-Morel mechanism, it opens interesting routes for alternative pairing mechanisms whose applicability remains under debate. For instance, pairing mechanisms involving longitudinal optical phonons have to overcome the hurdles created by the anti-adiabatic nature of the pairing interaction, whereas mechanisms that rely on the soft transverse optical phonons associated with incipient ferroelectricity face challenges related to the nature of the electron-phonon coupling. Proposals in which pairing is mediated by plasmons or promoted locally by defects are also discussed. We finish by surveying the existing evidence for multi-band superconductivity and outlining promising directions that can potentially shed new light on the rich problem of superconductivity in SrTiO$_3$.

Tachyonic Instability and Dynamics of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking

description: Spontaneous symmetry breaking usually occurs due to the tachyonic (spinodal) instability of a scalar field near the top of its effective potential at $ϕ= 0$. Naively, one might expect the field $ϕ$ to fall from the top of the effective potential and then experience a long stage of oscillations with amplitude O(v) near the minimum of the effective potential at $ϕ= v$ until it gives its energy to particles produced during these oscillations. However, it was recently found that the tachyonic instability rapidly converts most of the potential energy V(0) into the energy of colliding classical waves of the scalar field. This conversion, which was called "tachyonic preheating," is so efficient that symmetry breaking typically completes within a single oscillation of the field distribution as it rolls towards the minimum of its effective potential. In this paper we give a detailed description of tachyonic preheating and show that the dynamics of this process crucially depend on the shape of the effective potential near its maximum. In the simplest models where $V(ϕ) \sim -m^2ϕ^2$ near the maximum, the process occurs solely due to the tachyonic instability, whereas in the theories $-λϕ^n$ with n > 2 one encounters a combination of the effects of tunneling, tachyonic instability and bubble wall collisions.

description: One of the regions of most concern in Sub-Saharan Africa is the geographical area of the West African semi-arid tropics (WASAT) where there has been little impact from the green revolution and most of the region suffers from inadequate and irregular rainfall and low fertility soils. Decreasing per-capita food production trends and 2-3% per-year population growth trends have convinced some to adopt a Malthusian perspective about the future of the WASAT. This paper evaluates the prospects of agricultural technologies and farm management practices that are currently proposed for the WASAT cereal farming system. The technologies are assessed with respect to their agronomic and economic feasibility, risk and their fit within the farming systems. They are ranked as to their feasibility of adoption by farmers in the short, intermediate and long run. The findings suggest that several agricultural technologies are feasible for use in the short run provided that they are used as a package. The complexity and initial high financial and human capital requirements, however, often prohibit farmers from adopting the total package simultaneously. A stepwise approach to adoption is difficult since separate adoption results in lower profitability and higher risk levels. Government policy intervention may be necessary to enable farmers to adopt single technologies en route to total package adoption.

description: Online social networks (OSN) are prime examples of socio-technical systems in which individuals interact via a technical platform. OSN are very volatile because users enter and exit and frequently change their interactions. This makes the robustness of such systems difficult to measure and to control. To quantify robustness, we propose a coreness value obtained from the directed interaction network. We study the emergence of large drop-out cascades of users leaving the OSN by means of an agent-based model. For agents, we define a utility function that depends on their relative reputation and their costs for interactions. The decision of agents to leave the OSN depends on this utility. Our aim is to prevent drop-out cascades by influencing specific agents with low utility. We identify strategies to control agents in the core and the periphery of the OSN such that drop-out cascades are significantly reduced, and the robustness of the OSN is increased.

description: In order for farmers to accept improved soil and water management practices, new technologies must be appropriate to the specific site conditions found in the farm setting and be consistent with farmers' objectives and available resources. A whole-farm modeling analysis of this problem is described. Preliminary estimates of the benefits of increased soil moisture conservation for representative low-resource farmers in Mali are presented. If farmers could improve rainfall infiltration from currently low rates of about 40% up to 60%, and use small amounts of chemical fertilizers, disposable income could increase two to four times depending on rainfall. Income could be increased another 50% if the infiltration rate was raised to 80%. Food grain production could increase 60 to 90% with improved moisture conservation and fertilizer use.

description: Linkages between the regulated and unregulated dairy markets in Kenya were examined using an econometric model of the fluid milk intake for eight processing plants. Counter-intuitive results were obtained: an increase in the regulated price was significant in decreasing intake in the regulated market, indicating that a price increase in the regulated market also increased price and quantity supplied in the unregulated market. Lagged rainfall was a proxy for available feed and was highly significant in explaining milk intake in the regulated market.
