description: Quantum mechanics, information theory, and relativity theory are the basic foundations of theoretical physics. The acquisition of information from a quantum system is the interface of classical and quantum physics. Essential tools for its description are Kraus matrices and positive operator valued measures (POVMs). Special relativity imposes severe restrictions on the transfer of information between distant systems. Quantum entropy is not a Lorentz covariant concept. Lorentz transformations of reduced density matrices for entangled systems may not be completely positive maps. Quantum field theory, which is necessary for a consistent description of interactions, implies a fundamental trade-off between detector reliability and localizability. General relativity produces new, counterintuitive effects, in particular when black holes (or more generally, event horizons) are involved. Most of the current concepts in quantum information theory may then require a reassessment.

description: Rice production is distinguished from most other field crops by distinct differences in yields across cultivars and producers being paid on production as a result of post-harvest milling into head rice and brokens. In the ten years of Arkansas harvest data from performance trials in six different locations, hybrids are shown the have 19 percent higher paddy yields and head rice yield rates 1.8 percentage points lower than conventional varieties. In crop insurance yield protection and revenue protection policies, no distinctions in premiums are made on the basis of variety. Adjustments for adverse milling outcomes are made only in the most extreme cases. Using a three-equation, econometric model to predict paddy yields, milled rice yields and head rice yields, the relative returns to yield protection and revenue protection crop insurance are estimated. Additionally, a policy that is more sensitive to milling deficiencies is explored. Results indicate some advantage for hybrids compared with conventional cultivars as a ratio of indemnities to premiums. A revenue protection policy that would cover adverse milling outcomes would lessen risk marginally.
Large-size expansion for triangular Wilson loops in confining gauge theories

description: The asymptotic behavior of Wilson loops in the large-size limit ($L\rightarrow\infty$) in confining gauge theories with area law is controlled by effective string theory (EST). The $L^{-2}$ term of the large-size expansion for the logarithm of Wilson loop appears within EST as a two-loop correction. Ultraviolet divergences of this two-loop correction for polygonal contours can be renormalized using an analytical regularization constructed in terms of Schwarz-Christoffel mapping. In the case of triangular Wilson loops this method leads to a simple final expression for the $L^{-2}$ term.

description: The presently accelerating universe may keep accelerating forever, eventually run into the event horizon problem, and thus be in conflict with the superstring idea. In the other way around, the current accelerating phase as well as the fate of the universe may be swayed by a negative cosmological constant, which dictates a big crunch. Based on the current observational data, in this paper we investigate how large the magnitude of a negative cosmological constant is allowed to be. In addition, for distinguishing the sign of the cosmological constant via observations, we point out that a measure of the evolution of the dark energy equation of state may be a good discriminator. Hopefully future observations will provide much more detailed information about dark energy and thereby indicates the sign of the cosmological constant as well as the fate of the presently accelerating universe.

description: Asian American older adults are at an increased risk for central obesity and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, it is unclear whether physical activity (PA) moderates the association between central obesity and T2DM in this population. Using the 2015-16 and 2017-18 NHANES datasets, we examined the moderating effect of PA on the association between central obesity and T2DM in 247 Non-Hispanic Asian adults aged 65 and older using a generalized linear model. In our multiple binary regression analyses, we controlled for a comprehensive set of potential confounders that included demographic, cultural, and health-related variables. Our results show that PA had a moderating influence on the association between central obesity and T2DM risk in Asian American older adults. Specifically, the risk presented by central obesity was reduced by 43.1% when participants met the PA guidelines in the current study. Thus, interventions designed to increase the amount of time and safe intensity spent in PA may offset the risk of central obesity and reduce the prevalence of T2DM in Asian American older adults.

description: Coherent magnetic fields in disc galaxies are thought to be generated by a large-scale (or mean-field) dynamo operating in their interstellar medium. A key driver of mean magnetic field growth is the turbulent electromotive force (EMF), which represents the influence of correlated small-scale (or fluctuating) velocity and magnetic fields on the mean field. The EMF is usually expressed as a linear expansion in the mean magnetic field and its derivatives, with the dynamo tensors as expansion coefficients. Here, we adopt the singular value decomposition (SVD) method to directly measure these turbulent transport coefficients in a simulation of the turbulent interstellar medium that realizes a large-scale dynamo. Specifically, the SVD is used to least-square fit the time series data of the EMF with that of the mean field and its derivatives, to determine these coefficients. We demonstrate that the spatial profiles of the EMF reconstructed from the SVD coefficients match well with that taken directly from the simulation. Also, as a direct test, we use the coefficients to simulate a 1-D mean-field dynamo model and find an overall similarity in the evolution of the mean magnetic field between the dynamo model and the direct simulation. We also compare the results with those which arise using simple regression and the ones obtained previously using the test-field (TF) method, to find reasonable qualitative agreement. Overall, the SVD method provides an effective post-processing tool to determine turbulent transport coefficients from simulations.

description: We examine the existence of completely separable ground states (GS) in finite spin-$s$ arrays with anisotropic $XYZ$ couplings, immersed in a non-uniform magnetic field along one of the principal axes. The general conditions for their existence are determined. The analytic expressions for the separability curve in field space, and for the ensuing factorized state and GS energy, are then derived for alternating solutions, valid for any spin and size. They generalize results for uniform fields and show that nonuniform fields can induce GS factorization also in systems which do not exhibit this phenomenon in a uniform field. It is also shown that such curve corresponds to a fundamental $S_z$-parity transition of the GS, present for any spin and size, and that two different types of GS parity diagrams can emerge, according to the anisotropy. The role of factorization in the magnetization and entanglement of these systems is also analyzed, and analytic expressions at the borders of the factorizing curve are provided. Illustrative examples for spin pairs and chains are as well discussed.

The effect of including cross-product terms, besides the standard XY exchange interactions, in the presence of an external magnetic field, is investigated. We show that entanglement can be yield at elevated temperatures by tuning the orientation of the external magnetic field. The details of the intrinsic exchange interactions determine the optimal orientation.

description: Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn [Nature 409, 46 (2001)] have shown that quantum logic operations can be performed using linear optical elements and additional ancilla photons. Their approach is probabilistic in the sense that the logic devices fail to produce an output with a failure rate that scales as 1/n, where n is the number of ancilla. Here we present an alternative approach in which the logic devices always produce an output with an intrinsic error rate that scales as 1/n^2,which may have several advantages in quantum computing applications.

Negotiating Development: a psychosocial study of Bangladeshi development workers
Creators: name: Beedell, Alison
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: A complex web of development organisations has emerged from efforts to alleviate the problems of enduring and gross inequalities in formerly Third World countries such as Bangladesh. While the social and economic circumstances of Bangladesh have improved, its democratic institutions have struggled, leading to a so-called ‘paradox’ of development. In this context economists and political scientists question the role of a growing global middle class, while postcolonial critics interrogate the very notion of ‘development’ and advocate alternative ‘post-development’ scenarios. In this milieu it is important to understand how dominant macro-policies and different perspectives affect the material realities of working for development on the ground. Previous research on the personnel of development aid has revealed a host of ethical, moral and political dilemmas, contradictions and paradoxes associated with aid work not least those faced by feminists within bureaucracies. The literature has tended to focus on international NGO workers from the global north. By contrast, this is a study of 24 English-speaking Bangladeshi individuals who are engaged in development work through NGOs, and other forms of activism within their own country. The aim of the research is to understand how these development workers negotiate the complex dilemmas and conflicting demands, and manage the emotional labour and demands of working for progressive social change. A psychosocial approach transcends the usual altruism-egotism binary to better understand the actions of and influences on this group, and allows for the interrogation of privilege, power and agency, and the relationships and emotional investments at stake. A narrative methodology helps reveal the conditions in which an individual life is lived and given meaning, and in which the development of the self and others can occur. Analytically, the study draws upon Bourdieusian models of social class distinctions, contemporary theorizations of the politics of emotions, and is informed by British psychoanalytic traditions. The study found a stratum of reflexive, well-resourced and highly committed workers and activists who skillfully manage the everyday dilemmas of development, albeit at some emotional cost. They are constrained by subjective classed and gendered identities and objective structures of governance. The women in the study were struggling for empowerment and opportunity both inside and outside the workplace despite the equalities discourse espoused by their NGO employers. The significance of family and kin, and wider identifications, compete with the ed framings of a neo-liberal development paradigm and further suggest the need for a re-consideration of the ethos and ethics of ‘development’.
The Acculturation Model in Second Language Learning: A Cross-Linguistic Study of a Group of English-Speaking Nigerian Immigrants Learning German as a Second Language in Germany
Creators: name: Ahamefule, Lambert
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: This study explores the experiences of a group of English-speaking Nigerian immigrants learning German as second language in Germany in a naturalistic and unstructured environment. The main aim of the study is to determine the extent to which the social and psychological distance factors of the Schumann Acculturation Model of SLA feature in the second language learning experiences of the group. By adopting a more social psychological approach, the study illustrates the integration patterns of immigrant minorities through the application of the Schumann model. The use of the model as the framework of the study enabled me to explore how the adult immigrants overcame different barriers in order to settle into a new environment. The study helps to fill the gap in SLA research carried out in the social context and the natural environment. A case study research design was adopted for this investigation to explore the participants’ perceptions about their real-life experiences in learning German in a naturalistic setting. Within the case study design, the questionnaire, focus group and semi-structured interview methods were used to collect data in relation to the following three research questions: 1) which social distance factors if any, feature in the experience of the group Nigerian immigrants learning German in Germany? 2) which psychological distance factors, if any, feature in the experience of this group? 3) to what extent does the experience of this group shed light on the Schumann model and the socio-psychological issues in second language learning? The analysis revealed that the group of immigrants were as strongly motivated to integrate into German society as they were determined to maintain the attachment to their cultural values. However, the group identified the lack of reciprocity from the host community as a factor potentially affecting their integration. The study contributes to the view in literature (for example, Conrick and Donovan, 2010) that the integration of immigrants into the host community involves engagement with a wide range of new cultural practices of which language is a highly significant element. Most importantly, the study helps to develop further knowledge on a less researched area involving the diaspora Nigerian community in Germany.

description: The 2-dimensional angular correlations of the positron annihilation radiation (2D-ACAR) on a single crystal of LaB6 was measured for three projections. The 2D-ACAR spectra were subjected to the Van Citter-Gerhard deconvolution alghorithm. From the experimental spectra we produced the 3D k-space density rho(k) via three different methods: i) we reconstructed the 3D electron-positron momentum density rho(p) via the Cormack method. rho(k) was then obtained by applying the 3D LCW transformation to rho(p). ii) The same steps of point i) were repeated adopting a modified Fourier-transform-based algorithm. iii) The 3d k-space occupancy rho(k) was obtained directly by parameterising the Fermi surface volume with prolate ellipsoids whose axes were determined by a least-square fit to the 2D LCW transformations applied to two high symmetry projections. The ellipsoids diameters along high symmetry directions of the cubic Brillouin zone (BZ), as a fraction of the BZ size, were 0.64 (dir. X-M) and 0.82 (dir. Gamma-X). The resulting Fermi volume, as a fraction of the BZ volume, was 0.55. These results agree within 1% with those obtained via the de Haas van Alphen experiments.

description: A weakly optimal $K_s$-free $(n,d,λ)$-graph is a $d$-regular $K_s$-free graph on $n$ vertices with $d=Θ(n^{1-α})$ and spectral expansion $λ=Θ(n^{1-(s-1)α})$, for some fixed $α>0$. Such a graph is called optimal if additionally $α= \frac{1}{2s-3}$. We prove that if $s_{1},\ldots,s_{k}\ge3$ are fixed positive integers and weakly optimal $K_{s_{i}}$-free pseudorandom graphs exist for each $1\le i\le k$, then the multicolor Ramsey numbers satisfy \[ Ω\Big(\frac{t^{S+1}}{\log^{2S}t}\Big)\le r(s_{1},\ldots,s_{k},t)\le O\Big(\frac{t^{S+1}}{\log^{S}t}\Big), \] as $t\rightarrow\infty$, where $S=\sum_{i=1}^{k}(s_{i}-2)$. This generalizes previous results of Mubayi and Verstraëte, who proved the case $k=1$, and Alon and Rödl, who proved the case $s_1=\cdots = s_k = 3$. Both previous results used the existence of optimal rather than weakly optimal $K_{s_i}$-free graphs.
Stabilization of a Majorana Zero Mode through Quantum Frustration

description: We analyze a system in which a topological Majorana zero mode (tMZM) combines with a Majorana produced by quantum frustration (fMZM) to produce a novel ground state. The system that we study combines two parts, a grounded topological superconducting wire that hosts two tMZMs at its ends, and an on-resonant quantum dot connected to two dissipative leads. The quantum dot with dissipative leads creates an effective two-channel Kondo (2CK) state in which quantum frustration yields an isolated fMZM at the dot. We find that coupling the dot to one end of the topological wire stabilizes the tMZM at the other end. Three routes are used to obtain these results: (i) calculation of the conductance through an auxiliary detector quantum dot, (ii) renormalization group (RG) arguments and the g-theorem, and (iii) a fully non-equilibrium calculation of the I(V ) curve and shot noise S(V ) through the detector dot. In addition to providing a route to achieving an unpaired Majorana zero mode, this scheme provides a clear signature of the presence of the 2CK frustration-induced Majorana.

description: Biological image processing is performed by complex neural networks composed of thousands of neurons interconnected via thousands of synapses, some of which are excitatory and others inhibitory. Spiking neural models are distinguished from classical neurons by being biological plausible and exhibiting the same dynamics as those observed in biological neurons. This paper proposes a Natural Convolutional Neural Network (NatCSNN) which is a 3-layer bio-inspired Convolutional Spiking Neural Network (CSNN), for classifying objects extracted from natural images. A two-stage training algorithm is proposed using unsupervised Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) learning (phase 1) and ReSuMe supervised learning (phase 2). The NatCSNN was trained and tested on the CIFAR-10 dataset and achieved an average testing accuracy of 84.7% which is an improvement over the 2-layer neural networks previously applied to this dataset.

description: A very simple field theory in noncommutative phase space X^{M},P^{M} in d+2 dimensions, with a gauge symmetry based on noncommutative u*(1,1), furnishes the foundation for the field theoretic formulation of Two-Time Physics. This leads to a remarkable unification of several gauge principles in d dimensions, including Maxwell, Einstein and high spin gauge principles, packaged together into one of the simplest fundamental gauge symmetries in noncommutative quantum phase space in d+2 dimensions. A gauge invariant action is constructed and its nonlinear equations of motion are analyzed. Besides elegantly reproducing the first quantized worldline theory with all background fields, the field theory prescribes unique interactions among the gauge fields. A matrix version of the theory, with a large N limit, is also outlined

description: U.S. soybean farmers depend on transportation as the critical link between their fields and markets here and abroad. Since the early 1990s, U.S. soybean farmers have been responding to world demand for more protein feed for the growing meat and poultry sectors in developing economies, especially China. This report examines transportation implications of the recent trends and outlook for U.S. soybeans. Most U.S. soybeans are grown in the Upper Midwest and the Corn Belt. During the last 10 years, over 40 percent of production was exported on average each year, relying on barge and rail transportation to be shipped to port. Domestic demand by the livestock and poultry sectors is serviced by truck and rail. The United States is losing its world market share to South America which has lower cost of production, increasing the importance of U.S. transportation efficiency to competitiveness. The majority of soybean exports are shipped through the Mississippi Gulf Coast (60 percent of 2013 soybean exports), but when the spread of ocean shipping cost between the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the Pacific Northwest (PNW) exceeds $30, it generally leads to a greater proportion of Asia-bound soybeans being shipped by rail to ports in the PNW. The ocean rate is the main driver for the choice of port for export, because inland barge transportation to the Mississippi Gulf is usually more efficient and less expensive than rail.

description: The forerunners preceding the main tunneling signal of the wave created by a source with a sharp onset or by a quantum shutter, have been generally associated with over-the-barrier (non-tunneling) components. We demonstrate that, while this association is true for distances which are larger than the penetration lenght, for smaller distances the forerunner is dominated by under-the-barrier components. We find that its characteristic arrival time is inversely proportional to the difference between the barrier energy and the incidence energy, a tunneling time scale different from both the phase time and the Büttiker-Landauer (BL) time.

Lattice dielectric response of CdCu{3}Ti{4}O{12} and of CaCu{3}Ti{4}O{12} from first principles

description: Structural, vibrational, and lattice dielectric properties of CdCu{3}Ti{4}O{12} are studied using density-functional theory within the local spin-density approximation, and the results are compared with those computed previously for CaCu{3}Ti{4}O{12}. Replacing Ca with Cd is found to leave many calculated quantities largely unaltered, although significant differences do emerge in zone-center optical phonon frequencies and mode effective charges. The computed phonon frequencies of CdCu{3}Ti{4}O{12} are found to be in excellent agreement with experiment, and the computed lattice contribution to the intrinsic static dielectric constant (~60) also agrees exceptionally well with a recent optical absorption experiment. These results provide further support for a picture in which the lattice dielectric response is essentially conventional, suggesting an extrinsic origin for the anomalous low-frequency dielectric response recently observed in both materials.

description: We discuss possibility of describing solar, atmospheric and LSND results with four neutrinos forming two quasi-degenerate pairs. The simplest versions of this 2+2 scheme with either $ν_e$ or $ν_μ$ mixing exclusively with sterile neutrino is disfavored by the SNO and atmospheric neutrino results respectively. A generalized scheme with sterile state participating in both the solar and atmospheric oscillations is still allowed. We show thasolar and atmospheric oscillations is still allowed. We show that the complex pattern of mixing needed for this purpose follows from a simple L_e+L_μ-L_τ-L_s symmetry. Specific form of L_e+L_μ-L_τ-L_s symmetric mass matrix is determined from experimental results. Two theoretical schemes which lead to this form and a proper breaking of L_e+L_μ-L_τ-L_s symmetry are discussed.

description: Displaced Fock states of the electromagnetic field have been synthesized by overlapping the pulsed optical single-photon Fock state |1> with coherent states on a high-reflection beamsplitter and completely characterized by means of quantum homodyne tomography. The reconstruction reveals highly non-classical properties of displaced Fock states, such as negativity of the Wigner function and photon number oscillations. This is the first time complete tomographic reconstruction has been performed on a highly non-classical optical state.

Generalized cosmological constant from gauging Maxwell-conformal algebra

description: The Maxwell extension of the conformal algebra is presented. With the help of gauging the Maxwell-conformal group, a conformally invariant theory of gravity is constructed. In contrast to the conventional conformally invariant actions, our gravitational action contains the Einstein-Hilbert term without introducing any additional (compensator) scalar field to satisfy the local scale invariance. This is achieved by using the curvatures of the algebra. In a special condition, we show that the resulting action is reduced to the Brans-Dicke like theory of gravity. We subsequently find the generalized Einstein field equation together with a coordinate dependent cosmological term and additional contributions.

 Catalogue: Trechus pumoensis Deuve, 1997: 142. Locus typicus: South Central Tibet, Lhodrak County, Monda La [= Manda La] pass, altitude 5200 m.
 Type material: Paratypes: 2 males, 2 females, with label data: “CHINA-C. TIBET, Mondala, 5200 m, 30 km W of Lhodak, 22.5.1997, leg. A. Wrzecionko ” (CGITZ, CSCHM).
 Identification: See key above.
 Relationships: Within the T. franzianus group this species is the only one that has eyes slightly reduced (Fig. 28) and stria VIII more deeply impressed from the level of the fifth umbilicate pore. All the other species of this group share the more apomorphic character states by having more strongly reduced eyes (Figs. 29–31) and a more strongly reduced eighth elytral stria. Therefore, T. pumoensis is considered to be sister taxon of an evolutionary line comprising T. aedeagalis sp. n., T. eremita sp. n., T. franzianus Mateu & Deuve, 1979, T. muguensis sp. n., T. sculptipennis sp. n., and T. tilitshoensis Schmidt, 1994.

description: We perform radiative transfer simulations for kilonova in various situations, including the cases of prompt collapse to a black hole from neutron-star mergers, high-velocity ejecta possibly accelerated by magnetars, and a black hole-neutron star merger. Our calculations are done employing ejecta profiles predicted by numerical-relativity simulations and a new line list for all the r-process elements. We found that (i) the optical emission for binary neutron stars promptly collapsing to a black hole would be fainter by $\gtrsim1$-$2\,{\rm mag}$ than that found in GW170817, while the infrared emission could be as bright as that in GW170817 if the post-merger ejecta is as massive as $\approx0.01\,M_\odot$; (ii) the kilonova would be brighter than that observed in GW170817 for the case that the ejecta is highly accelerated by the electromagnetic energy injection from the remnant, but it would decline rapidly and the magnitude would become fainter than in GW170817 within a few days; (iii) the optical emission from a black hole-neutron star merger ejecta could be as bright as that observed in GW170817 for the case that sufficiently large amount of matter is ejected ($\gtrsim0.02\,M_\odot$), while the infrared brightness would be brighter by $1$-$2\,{\rm mag}$ at the same time. We show that the difference in the ejecta properties would be imprinted in the differences in the peak brightness and time of peak. This indicates that we may be able to infer the type of the central engine for kilonovae by observation of the peak in the multiple band.
