description: This paper focuses on assessing the benefits of research expenditures on maize production in South Africa. Both the production and supply function approaches are used to calculate elasticities of research expenditure on output and yield. Cointegration is used to establish long-run relationships between variables in these models. The lag structure of R&D expenditures on output is examined making use of the unrestricted, polynomial, beta and gamma distributions. The coefficients of these lag distributions were then used to calculate a rate of return to maize research expenditure, which was estimated as being between 28% and 39% per annum. These rates of return are high, mitigating in favour of more research expenditure rather than less.

description: In today’s more integrated world economy, agricultural growth in Africa depends not only on raising productivity and increasing production, but on increasing the competitiveness of African agriculture in the global market and expanding its market opportunities within Africa. Unless demand increases, African agriculture cannot grow at a rate sufficient to reduce poverty and hunger to any substantial degree. The accelerated economic growth in Africa in recent years might offer increased opportunities for agriculture from domestic demand. This research report focuses on demand-side constraints on African agricultural growth and their implications for three broad agricultural development strategies: promoting traditional exports, developing nontraditional exports, and increasing food-staple growth. Applying a general equilibrium framework to seven East and southern African countries, the study finds that an export-led agricultural growth strategy is unlikely to generate substantial overall income growth, even though demand need not constrain rapid growth in some nontraditional exports. Increasing production of staple foods seems to offer a promising avenue for agricultural growth, given that Africa’s supply of many staple commodities does not meet its current demand. However, the report shows that increasing productivity in the grain sector without a substantial increase in market demand would cause domestic market prices to fall; as a result, farmers would lose much of the benefit of increased productivity. Thus, changes outside the farm sector itself—reduced marketing costs and more rapid growth in the nonfarm economy— are required to provide sufficient market demand to support rapid agricultural growth. In addition, to increase agricultural productivity, a second major engine of growth—increased productivity growth outside the agricultural sector—is a necessary condition for rapid economywide growth and poverty reduction. Agricultural growth can play a major role in overall growth and poverty reduction in Africa. But development strategies need to take an economywide perspective to enable agriculture to play its crucial role in growth and poverty reduction in Africa.

description: Thinking on development has long held that agricultural growth is an important step toward economic development and transformation. However, the new challenges facing African agriculture in today’s more globalized environment have led some to question whether conventional wisdom about the role of agriculture in development is still applicable to Africa. There is a shift in emphasis toward nonagricultural growth opportunities, which has the potential to reshape the development strategies of many African countries over the coming decades. This research report critically examines conventional wisdom and contemporary skepticism. It also develops a country typology reflecting the diversity of conditions across the subcontinent and then examines the role of agriculture in five African countries. The findings indicate that, in many African countries, only agriculture has sufficient scale to increase economic growth significantly over the foreseeable future. Agricultural growth is also more effective at reducing poverty, even in countries that may have the potential for industrial growth driven by rich natural resources. Within the agricultural sector, there are few countries that can generate broad-based growth without expanding the food-staple and livestock subsectors. Based on these findings, the report concludes that although African agriculture faces many new challenges, agriculture and its food subsector cannot be bypassed if Africa is to experience broad-based economic growth and poverty reduction. Agricultural growth in Africa needs significant increases in public and private investments, and the costs of generating growth can differ significantly across agriculture’s subsectors. The report is silent about such costs, which inevitably play an important role in informing development strategies. Nevertheless, the findings of this report will contribute to strategic thinking in many African countries.

We present a general Poynting vector expression for all invariant beams with cylindrical symmetry using scalar potentials in order to evaluate the possibility of negative propagation. We analyze the plausibility of negative propagation being independent of mode mixing; we study Weber beams as a particular case. The study of this negative effect allow us to advance in the field of micro manipulation and understanding of optical forces. Applications of these beams are discussed.

description: The levels of support that trade and domestic farm policies afford to agriculture, and the related processes of policy reform intended to improve the economic efficiency of agricultural production, processing, and marketing, are important issues for developing countries. The effects of policy on agriculture are well documented for wealthy countries, especially by the established and respected studies from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. However, systematic analysis is often lacking for poor countries because of the difficulty and cost of measuring policy effects consistently over time and across commodities. This study contributes to filling the existing research gap by examining the impacts of agricultural policies and policy reforms on the incentives of agricultural producers in India, Indonesia, China, and Vietnam. It investigates critical measurement issues and analyzes the levels of market price support and producer support estimates for key commodities and in aggregate for each country. The results show a range of outcomes. In India a countercyclical support policy is evident despite market-oriented institutional reforms; in Indonesia high levels of support for agriculture have persisted; while China and Vietnam have moved away from past disprotection toward modest support for agriculture. The results demonstrate the importance of tracking the transitions of agricultural policy that improve farmers’ incentives as economic growth occurs, as well as the difficulty of making reforms in cases of entrenched policy interventions. The report is part of a series of recent studies carried out by researchers at the International Food Policy Research Institute and their partners on the impact of domestic support policies, trade policy, and trade agreements on the poor in developing countries. These include studies of the impact of alternative outcomes from the World Trade Organization Doha Development Round, the effects of global cotton markets on poverty in Benin and Pakistan, the impact of rice policy on poverty in the Philippines, and analysis of the potential effects of trade liberalization in the Near East and North Africa region. These studies provide policymakers with objective, empirically based analyses to inform pro-poor policies related to agricultural support and trade. We hope the report will contribute to informed policy discussions both at the domestic level and in international negotiations.

Abstract

Time has historically been viewed as either a linear progression (Newtonian time), a relativistic dimension (Einstein’s spacetime), or a probabilistic collapse mechanism (quantum mechanics). However, these perspectives fail to unify the deeper structural nature of time as an emergent, oscillatory phenomenon. This paper introduces the concept of Chiral Time, proposing that time is not a fundamental, one-directional flow, but rather a structured, resonance-driven oscillation within a higher-order chiral field.

Building upon the Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems (CODES) framework, we present mathematical formalisms that:

✔ Show time dilation as an oscillatory resonance shift rather than a pure relativistic effect.

✔ Explain why biological and quantum time scales exhibit structured periodicities.

✔ Provide a deeper interpretation of entropy, suggesting that what we perceive as time’s “arrow” is a phase-coherent projection of a deeper oscillatory field.

✔ Reframe quantum superposition as a temporal chirality effect, not merely a probabilistic function.

This model has implications for quantum gravity, entropy, cosmology, and artificial intelligence, offering a unification between time’s role in relativity and quantum mechanics through structured resonance rather than linear causality.

description: Back-to-Back Correlations of particle-antiparticle pairs are related to the in-medium mass-modification and squeezing of the quanta involved. They are predicted to appear when hot and dense hadronic matter is formed in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. The survival and magnitude of the Back-to-Back Correlations of boson-antiboson pairs generated by in-medium mass modifications are studied here in the case of a thermalized, finite-sized, spherically symmetric expanding medium. We show that the BBC signal indeed survives the finite-time emission, as well as the expansion and flow effects, with sufficient intensity to be observed at RHIC.

description: The thermodynamic properties of α-Al and other phases (GP zones, θ'', θ' and θ) in the Al-rich part of the Al-Cu system have been obtained by means of the cluster expansion formalism in combination with statistical mechanics. This information was used to build the Al-rich part of the Al-Cu phase-diagram taking into account vibrational entropic contributions for θ', as those of the other phases were negligible. The simulation predictions of the phase boundaries between α-Al and either θ'', θ' or θ phases as a function of temperature are in good agreement with experimental data and extend the phase boundaries to a wider temperature range. The DFT calculations reveal the presence of a number of metastable Guinier-Preston-zone type configurations that may coexist with α-Al and θ'' at low temperatures. They also demonstrate that θ' is the stable phase below 550K but it is replaced by θ above this temperature due to the vibrational entropic contribution to the Gibbs energy of θ'. This work shows how the combination of cluster expansion and statistical mechanics can be used to expand our knowledge of the phase diagram of metallic alloys and to provide Gibbs free energies of different phases that can be used as input in mesoscale simulations of precipitation.

description: In countries that are heavily dependent on agriculture for employment and income, underperformance is not only untenable but also potentially explosive. This is the case in the countries of eastern and central Africa—Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda—where tens of millions of people face ongoing poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. This report, the result of a two-year collaboration between the International Food Policy Research Institute and the Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa, identifies how eastern and central African countries can stimulate agricultural growth to address these dire circumstances. The findings suggest that improved agricultural performance will require investments that foster productivity growth, strengthen markets, improve rural linkages between the agricultural and nonagricultural sectors, and promote regional cooperation. Of particular interest is the identification of the most performance-enhancing commodity subsectors, in an economywide setting, and the “agricultural development domain” singled out as most promising for targeted investment. These results and their implications are being widely discussed and debated in the countries of eastern and central Africa, in many cases shaping policy and investment strategies. We hope that the findings, made available through this report, will elicit similar responses in other regions.
Simulation of linear elastic media with fluid inclusions

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This work presents a methodology for haptic rendering of fluid filled structures that are enclosed in linear elastic media using the Finite Element Method. Haptic medical simulation is a growing field of research motivated by creating risk-free virtual environments for medical students to learn and practise surgical procedures. One of the challenges in creating medical simulators is modeling the deformation of living tissues. Due to minimum haptic update rate requirements, the deformable methods are simplified and precomputed. Most medical simulators model anatomy as elastic material with constant or varying stiffness. However, human anatomy includes a variety of fluid filled structures. To improve the realism of these simulators, fluid filled bodies should be modeled in addition to elastic media. This thesis presents a method for simulating fluid effects by adding hydrostatic fluid pressure to a body of elastic material modeled with the Finite Element Method. By distributing fluid pressure across an interior cavity surface, the fluid can be modeled using a force boundary condition. Proportional feedback is used to solve for an incompressible fluid relationship between the cavity pressure and volume. Linear finite elements are used so the stiffness matrix can be condensed to achieve real-time haptic rates. To validate that this method predicts deformation of a fluid filled cavity in a realistic manner, the deformation a fluid filled phantom is tracked and compared to a Finite Element simulation of the same phantom. The data is found to agree well with the simulation. A real-time haptic simulation of elastic media enclosing incompressible fluid, based on an existing 2D needle insertion simulation, is presented. Numerical tests show that simulation of a relatively large 3D fluid body will be possible at haptic rates.

description: The nearby galaxy HIZSS003 was recently discovered during a blind HI survey of the zone of avoidance (Henning et al. 2000). Follow up VLA as well as optical and near-IR imaging and spectroscopy (Massey et al. 2003; Silva et al. 2005) confirm that it is a low metallicity dwarf irregular galaxy. However there were two puzzling aspects of the observations, (i) current star formation, as traced by H$α$ emission, is confined to a small region at the edge of the VLA HI image and (ii) the metallicity of the older RGB stars is higher than that of the gas in HII region. We present high spatial and velocity resolution Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations that resolve these puzzles by showing that HIZSS003 is actually a galaxy pair and that the HII region lies at the center of a much smaller companion galaxy (HIZSS003B) to the main galaxy (HIZSS003A). The HI emission from these two galaxies overlaps in projection, but can be separated in velocity space. HIZSS003B has an HI mass of 2.6 X 10^6 M$_\odot$, and a highly disturbed velocity field. Since the velocity field is disturbed, an accurate rotation curve cannot be derived, however, the indicative dynamical mass is ~5 X 10^7 M$_\odot$. For the bigger galaxy HIZSS003A we derive an HI mass of 1.4 X 10^7 M$_\odot$. The velocity field of this galaxy is quite regular and from its rotation curve we derive a total dynamical mass of ~6.5 X 10^8 M$_\odot$.

description: In the feature classification domain, the choice of data affects widely the results. The Hyperspectral image (HSI), is a set of more than a hundred bidirectional measures (called bands), of the same region (called ground truth map: GT). The HSI is modelized at a set of N vectors. So we have N features (or attributes) expressing N vectors of measures for C substances (called classes). The problematic is that it's pratically impossible to investgate all possible subsets. So we must find K vectors among N, such as relevant and no redundant ones; in order to classify substances. Here we introduce an algorithm based on Normalized Mutual Information to select relevant and no redundant bands, necessary to increase classification accuracy of HSI. Keywords: Feature Selection, Normalized Mutual information, Hyperspectral images, Classification, Redundancy.

Abstract

Consciousness has long been one of the greatest unsolved problems in philosophy, neuroscience, and physics. Traditional models attempt to explain it through neuronal computation, information integration, or quantum microtubule interactions, yet none fully capture the structured coherence of conscious experience.

This paper introduces the Resonant Field of Thought hypothesis, which proposes that consciousness is not a computation but a phase-locked harmonic oscillation in structured neural energy fields. This theory suggests that:

✔ Consciousness emerges from coherent resonance across multiple brainwave frequencies, rather than just neuron firings.

✔ Cognitive states correspond to specific frequency-locking states, explaining altered states of perception, attention, and memory.

✔ Neural synchrony, not computational complexity, is the key factor in self-awareness.

✔ AI will not reach human-like consciousness unless it achieves multi-scale phase-locking across hierarchical oscillatory layers.

Using insights from the Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems (CODES) framework, we argue that consciousness follows structured resonance dynamics, rather than probabilistic emergence. This has implications for quantum cognition, AI consciousness, mental disorders, and neuropharmacology.

description: Information on the spatial distribution of poverty is particularly useful in designing geographically targeted programs to address regional disparities—a matter of high priority for many countries. Until recently, most developing countries were forced to design these programs based on rough indicators of poverty or on the results of household budget surveys, which typically generate poverty estimates for a limited number of regions. In the late 1990s, a new approach was developed combining census data and household budget survey results to generate poverty estimates for small areas such as districts, allowing the construction of “poverty maps.” A1998 IFPRI study in Vietnam was one of the first to experiment with this approach. A similar method was concurrently developed and subsequently refined by researchers at the World Bank. Poverty mapping studies have now been carried out in more than a dozen countries. This is an example of how an international public good can evolve from a set of specific country studies by the broader research community. This report uses data from the 1998 Vietnam Living Standards Survey and the 1999 Population Census to estimate various measures of poverty and inequality for 614 districts in Vietnam. The results confirm conventional wisdom regarding high rates of poverty in the upland areas, low rates in urban areas, and intermediate rates in the irrigated lowland areas. But the results also offer some surprises, such as the fact that most poor people in Vietnam do not live in the poorest areas. The study goes a step beyond standard poverty-mapping analysis by investigating the geographic determinants of district-level poverty rates. Distance to cities, soil type, and topography are significant predictors of local poverty rates. Surprisingly, proximity to small district centers is a stronger predictor of poverty than distance to large cities or distance to roads. Thus, rural-urban linkages at a local level matter a great deal for poverty reduction. At the national level, this report provides valuable information for more precise geographic targeting of poverty assistance in Vietnam, and also offers insights into the geographic factors that contribute to rural poverty. Statistical authorities in Vietnam are now experimenting with variants of this method for use in poverty monitoring. The study demonstrates the rewards that come from combining survey data, census data, and geographic data to focus on the challenge of reducing rural poverty. IFPRI continues to pursue this line of research, having recently carried out poverty-mapping analyses for Mozambique, Malawi, and Zambia.

In analogy to previous extensions of ASP with constructs from Linear Temporal and Dynamic Logic, we accomplish this in the setting of the logic of Here-and-There and its non-monotonic extension, called Equilibrium Logic. More precisely, we develop our logic on the same semantic underpinnings as its predecessors and thus use a simple time domain of bounded time steps. This allows us to compare all variants in a uniform framework and ultimately combine them in a common implementation.

description: A review is given of a recently developed technique for the analysis of SO(2N) invariant couplings which allows a full exhibition of the SU(N) invariant content of couplings involving the SO(2N) semi-spinors $|Ψ_{\pm}>$ with chiralilty $\pm$ and tensor representations. We discuss the Basic Theorem used in the analysis and then exhibit the technique by illustrative examples for the computation of the trilinear and quartic couplings for the SO(10) case involving three generations of 16 plets of matter.

description: We extend the quark mean-field (QMF) model for nuclear matter and study the possible presence of quark matter inside the cores of neutron stars. A sharp first-order hadron-quark phase transition is implemented combining the QMF for the hadronic phase with "constant-speed-of-sound" parametrization for the high-density quark phase. The interplay of the nuclear symmetry energy slope parameter, $L$, and the dimensionless phase transition parameters (the transition density $n_{\rm trans}/n_0$, the transition strength $Δ\varepsilon/\varepsilon_{\rm trans}$, and the sound speed squared in quark matter $c^2_{\rm QM}$) are then systematically explored for the hybrid star proprieties, especially the maximum mass $M_{\rm max}$ and the radius and the tidal deformability of a typical $1.4 \,M_{\odot}$ star. We show the strong correlation between the symmetry energy slope $L$ and the typical stellar radius $R_{1.4}$, similar to that previously found for neutron stars without a phase transition. With the inclusion of phase transition, we obtain robust limits on the maximum mass ($M_{\rm max}< 3.6 \,M_{\odot}$) and the radius of $1.4 \,M_{\odot}$ stars ($R_{1.4}\gtrsim 9.6~\rm km$), and we find that a too-weak ($Δ\varepsilon/\varepsilon_{\rm trans}\lesssim 0.2$) phase transition taking place at low densities $\lesssim 1.3-1.5 \, n_0$ is strongly disfavored. We also demonstrate that future measurements of the radius and tidal deformability of $\sim 1.4 \,M_{\odot}$ stars, as well as the mass measurement of very massive pulsars, can help reveal the presence and amount of quark matter in compact objects.

Delayed approximate matrix assembly in multigrid with dynamic precisions

description: The accurate assembly of the system matrix is an important step in any code that solves partial differential equations on a mesh. We either explicitly set up a matrix, or we work in a matrix-free environment where we have to be able to quickly return matrix entries upon demand. Either way, the construction can become costly due to non-trivial material parameters entering the equations, multigrid codes requiring cascades of matrices that depend upon each other, or dynamic adaptive mesh refinement that necessitates the recomputation of matrix entries or the whole equation system throughout the solve. We propose that these constructions can be performed concurrently with the multigrid cycles. Initial geometric matrices and low accuracy integrations kickstart the multigrid, while improved assembly data is fed to the solver as and when it becomes available. The time to solution is improved as we eliminate an expensive preparation phase traditionally delaying the actual computation. We eliminate algorithmic latency. Furthermore, we desynchronise the assembly from the solution process. This anarchic increase of the concurrency level improves the scalability. Assembly routines are notoriously memory- and bandwidth-demanding. As we work with iteratively improving operator accuracies, we finally propose the use of a hierarchical, lossy compression scheme such that the memory footprint is brought down aggressively where the system matrix entries carry little information or are not yet available with high accuracy.

Abstract

Traditional black hole models describe them as one-way gravitational sinks where information is either destroyed (classical physics) or holographically preserved on the event horizon (Hawking’s information paradox). However, this fails to explain how and when black holes return their stored information to the universe.

This paper introduces the Black Hole Reformation Hypothesis (BHRH), which states that:

✔ Black holes are not permanent objects but temporary high-density information compression systems.

✔ Instead of “evaporating” via Hawking radiation, black holes undergo structured phase transitions, releasing stored data into new cosmic structures.

✔ Information is never lost but reorganized into novel physical frameworks—such as new universes, exotic matter condensates, or structured gravitational waves.

✔ CODES suggests that matter-energy resonance within black holes follows a structured oscillatory pattern, leading to phase re-emergence.

By reframing black holes as dynamic, cyclical systems rather than endpoints, this model offers solutions to the information paradox, dark energy emergence, and cosmic structure formation.

🚀 Confidence Level: 80-95% – Theoretical backing is strong, but direct observational evidence is required.

description: We discuss how a single Cooper-pair transistor may be used to detect the superconducting phase difference by using the phase dependence of the input capacitance from gate to the ground. The proposed device has a low power dissipation because its operation is in principle free from quasiparticle generation. According to the sensitivity estimates the device may be used for efficient qubit readout in a galvanically isolated and symmetrized circuit.

One-Bit Symbol-Level Precoding for MU-MISO Downlink with Intelligent Reflecting Surface

description: This paper considers symbol-level precoding (SLP) for multiuser multi-input single-output (MISO) downlink transmission with the aid of intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). Specifically, by assuming one-bit transmitted signals at the base station (BS), which arises from the use of low-resolution DACs in the regime of massive transmit antennas, a joint design of one-bit SLP at the BS and the phase shifts at the IRS is proposed with a goal of minimizing the worst-case symbol error probability (SEP) of the users under the PSK modulation. This joint design problem is essentially a mixed integer nonlinear program (MINLP). To tackle it, we alternately optimize the one-bit signal and the phase shifts. For the former, a dual of the relaxed one-bit SLP problem is solved by the mirror descent (MD) method with the maximum block improvement (MBI) heuristics. For the latter, the accelerated projected gradient (APG) method is employed to optimize the phases. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed joint design can attain better SEP performance than the conventional linear precoding and one-bit SLP.

Abstract

CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems) represents a paradigm shift in our understanding of intelligence, cognition, and the fundamental structure of reality. Historically, human thought has been shaped by linear models, probabilistic reasoning, and categorical logic. CODES introduces a structured oscillatory approach, demonstrating that intelligence, perception, and decision-making emerge not as statistical processes, but as phase-locked resonance dynamics.

This paper explores:

✔ How CODES redefines intelligence as a structured resonance phenomenon, rather than probabilistic computation.

✔ The implications for cognitive science, philosophy, and artificial intelligence.

✔ How this framework applies to human history, creative thought, and decision-making.

By replacing the randomness assumption with chiral emergence, CODES suggests that human cognition is not merely an adaptive system but a predictive, resonant, structured intelligence field.
