description: Controlling the cosmopolitan pest Drosophila suzukii (spotted wing drosophila) is a challenge for fruit growers. A promising agent for biological control of that pest are parasitoid wasps. Especially the widespread pupal parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae had shown the ability to parasitise the pest fly. However, as a biocontrol agent, parasitoids can only be effective when they prefer the pest to other insects. Until now studies have been inconsistent concerning the preference of T. drosophilae for D. suzukii and whether the preference depends on pupal volume. To clarify this inconsistency, we used video recordings of parasitisation experiments with a set up to observe the direct host preference of the parasitoid. Additionally, the volume of each host pupa was measured. We found significant preference of T. drosophilae for D. suzukii pupae independent of the pupal size and of the host species the wasps were reared on. The article also discusses the sex ratio and the success of the parasitoid in the different pupae characteristics.

description: Using the integral transformation, the field-theoretical Hamiltonian of the statistical field theory of fluids is obtained, along with the microscopic expressions for the coefficients of the Hamiltonian. Applying this approach to the liquid-vapor interface, we derive an explicit analytical expression for the surface tension in terms of temperature, density and parameters of inter-molecular potential. We also demonstrate that a clear physical interpretation may be given to the formal statistical field arising in the integral transformation - it may be associated with the one-body local microscopic potential. The results of the theory, lacking any ad-hoc or fitting parameters are in a good agreement with available simulation data.

description: We study a class of entangling gates for trapped atomic ions and demonstrate the use of numeric optimization techniques to create a wide range of fast, error-robust gate constructions. Our approach introduces a framework for numeric optimization using individually addressed, amplitude and phase modulated controls targeting maximally and partially entangling operations on ion pairs, complete multi-ion registers, multi-ion subsets of large registers, and parallel operations within a single register. Our calculations and simulations demonstrate that the inclusion of modulation of the difference phase for the bichromatic drive used in the Mølmer-Sørensen gate permits approximately time-optimal control across a range of gate configurations, and when suitably combined with analytic constraints can also provide robustness against key experimental sources of error. We further demonstrate the impact of experimental constraints such as bounds on coupling rates or modulation band-limits on achievable performance. Using a custom optimization engine based on TensorFlow we also demonstrate time-to-solution for optimizations on ion registers up to 20 ions of order tens of minutes using a local-instance laptop, allowing computational access to system-scales relevant to near-term trapped-ion devices.

Subjects: copyright, law,

description: The end-users’ perspective is often an unspoken side of the European copyright regulatory framework. In light of the objectives pursued by reCreating Europe, and its overarching aim to promote a modern, creative, culturally diverse, accessible Europe, Work Package (WP) 2 – End users and access to culture takes up the challenge of unveiling the role of end-users’ rights, interests, expectations, and behaviors vis-à-vis copyright rules.
 To this end, Task 2.1 - Comparative and EU cross-national mapping of regulatory and private ordering sources purports to set the ground for high-profile multidisciplinary research by way of an encompassing mapping of relevant public and private sources of law related to copyright flexibilities. The scope of the legal mapping encompasses the harmonized European Union (EU) copyright legal framework, the national copyright systems of all 27 EU Member States, and a selection of contractual regulations from over 20 digital platforms. Its unprecedently wide coverage and sound methodological approach make the database resulting from the research efforts of WP2 - Task 2.1 a unique repository on copyright flexibilities in Europe and beyond.
 In its first year of operation, the researchers’ teams involved in this Task have virtually completed the collection of the relevant data, and successfully consolidated the structure for their systematic analysis. A preliminary version of the threefold dataset addressing, respectively, EU legal sources, national legal sources, and private ordering mechanisms, is provided as Annexes 1, 2, and 3 to this document.
 The interim report here presented offers a detailed overview of the pursued objectives, specific research questions, consolidated structure and methodology, and preliminary findings of the research conducted to date. The study focuses on two guiding concepts, i.e., the notion of “copyright flexibilities” within the copyright legislative framework, and the “user-friendliness” of market-based private ordering practices related to the consumption of digital content. The conceptualization of both these notions has been elected as the beacon of the ongoing quantitative, qualitative, and comparative analysis of the data collected, as well as the leading principles for the purpose of dissemination and public discussion of the research findings.

description: We propose a system of nonlinear integral equations (NLIE) which gives the free energy of the $U_{q}(widehat{sl}(r+1|s+1))$ Perk-Schultz model. In contrast with traditional thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations, our NLIE contain only r+s+1 unknown functions. In deriving the NLIE, the quantum (supersymmetric) Jacobi-Trudi and Giambelli formula and a duality for an auxiliary function play important roles. By using our NLIE, we also calculate the high temperature expansion of the free energy. General formulae of the coefficients with respect to arbitrarily rank r+s+1, chemical potentials $\{μ_{a}\}$ and q have been written down in terms of characters up to the order of 5. In particular for specific values of the parameters, we have calculated the high temperature expansion of the specific heat up to the order of 40.

description: This study develops economic impact models of solid waste system in California and determines statewide and regional economic impacts of waste disposal and diversion. The study estimates that the 1999 economic impacts of waste disposal and diversion were approximately $9 billion in output, $21 billion in output impacts, $8 billion in total income impacts, $11 billion in value-added impacts, and 179,000 additional jobs. The study also finds that if all waste generation were disposed instead of being diverted at the 1999 rates, the statewide economic impacts would be 17 to 20 percent lower. While the relative impacts for individual regions vary because of differences in material flows and business and industrial infrastructures, generally, diversion in California generates larger economic impacts than disposal. Average output and value-added impacts more than double when materials are diverted rather than disposed statewide, and output impacts, total income impacts, and job impacts also nearly double. Differences in regional impact suggest that creating markets to accept more recyclable and greenwaste materials is the key to stimulating more economic activities and higher economic impacts in the state.

description: We study the discrete flows generated by the symmetry group of the BPS quivers for Calabi-Yau geometries describing five dimensional superconformal quantum field theories on a circle. These flows naturally describe the BPS particle spectrum of such theories and at the same time generate bilinear equations of q-difference type which, in the rank one case, are q-Painlevé equations. The solutions of these equations are shown to be given by grand canonical topological string partition functions which we identify with $τ$-functions of the cluster algebra associated to the quiver. We exemplify our construction in the case corresponding to five dimensional $SU(2)$ pure Super Yang-Mills and $N_f = 2$ on a circle.

description: Many ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have been discovered in the Coma cluster, and there is evidence that some, notably Dragonfly 44, have Milky Way-like dynamical masses despite dwarf-like stellar masses. We used X-ray, UV, and optical data to investigate the star formation and nuclear activity in the Coma UDGs, and we obtained deep UV and X-ray data (Swift and XMM-Newton) for Dragonfly 44 to search for low-level star formation, hot circumgalactic gas, and the integrated emission from X-ray binaries. Among the Coma UDGs, we find UV luminosities consistent with quiescence but NUV$-r$ colors indicating star formation in the past Gyr. This indicates that the UDGs were recently quenched. The $r$-band luminosity declines with projected distance from the Coma core. The Dragonfly 44 UV luminosity is also consistent with quiescence, with SFR$<6\times 10^{-4} M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$, and no X-rays are detected down to a sensitivity of $10^{38}$ erg s$^{-1}$. This rules out a hot corona with a $M > 10^8 M_{\odot}$ within the virial radius, which would normally be expected for a dynamically massive galaxy. The absence of bright, low mass X-ray binaries is consistent with the expectation from the galaxy total stellar mass, but it is unlikely if most low-mass X-ray binaries form in globular clusters, as Dragonfly 44 has a very large population. Based on the UV and X-ray analysis, the Coma UDGs are consistent with quenched dwarf galaxies, although we cannot rule out a dynamically massive population.

description: We report on INTEGRAL observations of AX J1838.0-0655, one of the unidentified objects listed in the first IBIS/ISGRI survey catalogue and located in the Scutum arm region. This object, detected in the 20-300 keV band at a confidence level of 15.3 sigma (9 x 10^-11 erg cm-2 s-1) is the likely counterpart of the still unidentified TeV source HESS J1837-069. It has been detected in the past by various X-ray telescopes, including ASCA, implying that it is a persistent rather than a transient source; the ASCA image is compatible with the source not being resolved. The broad 1-300 keV spectrum is characterized by an absorbed (NH = 6.7+/-1.3 x 10^22 cm-2) and hard (Gamma =1.5 +/- 0.2) power law continuum. Possible counterparts (radio and infrared) present within the X-ray error box are discussed, even if no clear association can be identified. The broad band spectrum together with the TeV detection suggests that AX J1838.0-0655 maybe a supernova remnant or a pulsar wind nebula, which has so far eluded detection in the radio band. This is the second unidentified HESS source that shows a substantial soft gamma-ray emission.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of Chandra X-ray observations of 15 young radio quasars at redshifts $4.5 < z < 5.0$. All sources are detected in the $0.5-7.0$ keV energy band. Emission spectra are extracted, and the average photon index for the sample is measured to be $1.5\pm0.1$. Unabsorbed rest-frame $2-10$ keV luminosities are found to range between $(0.5-23.2) \times 10^{45}$ erg s$^{-1}$. The optical-X-ray power-law spectral index $α_{ox}$ is calculated for each source using optical/UV data available in the literature. The $α_{ox}$-UV relationship is compared with other quasar surveys, and an anticorrelation is observed that agrees with independent estimates. Rest-frame radio and X-ray luminosities are established for the sample, and a correlation between the luminosities is detected. These multiwavelength results reinforce a lack of spectral evolution for quasars over a broad redshift range. We additionally identify three quasars from our multiwavelength analysis that are statistically significant outliers, with one source being a Compton-thick candidate in the early universe, and discuss each in detail.

description: We study the generation of single photon perfect W-state. An important aspect of this perfect W-state is that, it can be used for perfect teleportation and superdense coding, which are not achievable with maximally entangled W-state. Our scheme for generation involves entanglement between various path degrees of freedom of a single photon in a compact and weakly coupled integrated waveguide system, which can be fabricated precisely with femtosecond laser direct writing technique. These platforms are interferometrically stable, scalable, less sensitive to decoherence and ensures a very low loss factor of 0.1dB/cm during photon propagation and hence are ideal for generation of perfect W-state. In addition to generation of single photon perfect W-state we study its non local properties using theory of local elements of reality.

description: We propose a new setup to demonstrate quantum eraser, using spin-1/2 particles in a modified Stern-Gerlach setup, with a double slit. The "which-way" information can be erased simply by applying a transverse magnetic field with an additional magnet, resulting in the emergence of two complementary staggered interference patterns. Use of the classic Stern-Gerlach setup, and the unweaving of the washed out interference without any coincident counting, is what makes this proposal novel.

description: The purpose of this study was to identify the cost of permanent and seasonal wetlands to Kansas Agricultural producers. The analysis was based on survey data collected from Kansas Farm Management Association members. Regression analysis indicated that wetlands are costly to agricultural producers. Permanent wetlands were found to be slightly more costly than seasonal wetlands. Importantly, the results suggested dispersed wetlands are more costly to Kansas farms compared to contiguous wetlands. This study provides information that could be useful in determining farm policy. A subsidy to aggregate wetland acres was expected to reduce costs to producers, while also benefiting society from increased biodiversity.

description: Irradiating ${\rm Cu}_2{\rm Mo}({\rm CN})_8\cdot 8{\rm H}_2{\rm O}$ with blue light induces a global magnetization, whereas succeeding irradiations with red or longer-wavelength light demagnetize this material. We solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for an extended Hubbard model to reproduce the photoreversible magnetism. Monitoring the photoinduced optical-conductivity and angle-resolved-photoemission spectra, we reveal that the magnetic round trip by way of ferromagnetism is far from a return in terms of electronics. While visible-light-induced magnetization has never been observed in the tungsten analog ${\rm Cu}_2{\rm W}({\rm CN})_8\cdot 5{\rm H}_2{\rm O}$, infrared-light irradiation may magnetize this material as well.

Gaussian-white distributed elastic constants, as well as those with long-range correlations with non-decaying power-law correlation functions, are considered. The study is motivated in part by a recent discovery that the elastic moduli of rock at large length scales may be characterized by long-range power-law correlation functions. Depending on the disorder, the renormalization group (RG) flows exhibit a transition to localized regime in {\it any} dimension. We have numerically checked the RG results using the transfer-matrix method and direct numerical simulations for one- and two-dimensional systems, respectively.

description: This study uses data from a survey of wheat sellers and buyers in five different exchanges in Turkey to gain a better understanding of seller and buyer satisfaction with the current exchange system and factors that influence exchange participants' decisions to choose exchanges over other ways of selling wheat. The descriptive and econometric results indicate that most sellers and buyers have a few problems with the current system. The major dissatisfaction with exchanges are prices and fees. The Tobit model results suggest that there is a great potential for accepting a new grading system and accepting legally enforceable warehouse receipts because sellers and buyers most concerned about warehouse receipts use the exchanges the least.

description: We report on a longitudinal case study conducted at the Italian site of a large software company to further our understanding of how development and communication tools can be improved to better support agile practices and collaboration. After observing inconsistencies in the way communication tools (i.e., email, Skype, and Slack) were used, we first reinforced the use of Slack as the central hub for internal communication, while setting clear rules regarding tools usage. As a second main change, we refactored the Jira Scrum board into two separate boards, a detailed one for developers and a high-level one for managers, while also introducing automation rules and the integration with Slack. The first change revealed that the teams of developers used and appreciated Slack differently with the QA team being the most favorable and that the use of channels is hindered by automatic notifications from development tools (e.g., Jenkins). The findings from the second change show that 85\% of the interviewees reported perceived improvements in their workflow. Despite the limitations due to the single nature of the reported case, we highlight the importance for companies to reflect on how to properly set up their agile work environment to improve communication and facilitate collaboration.

description: Consumer perceptions of the potential negative side effects to the body and to the environment as well as consumer opinion regarding ethical issues of developing transgenic products has caused melee at times in the food marketing chain. This has prompted some firms, e.g., Frito Lay and Gerber, to publicly announce that grains and oilseeds produced using transgenic seed will not be used as an ingredient in the production of food. This research found little to support the notion that agro-biotechnology news and/ or recall/non-use announcements affected the CBOT corn futures market. As hypothesized, this result suggests that the market for non-transgenic corn is small relative to aggregate corn supply and demand, which the CBOT corn futures market represents.

description: Some of the most scientifically valuable transiting planets are those that were already known from radial velocity (RV) surveys. This is primarily because their orbits are well characterized and they preferentially orbit bright stars that are the targets of RV surveys. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ({\it TESS}) provides an opportunity to survey most of the known exoplanet systems in a systematic fashion to detect possible transits of their planets. HD~136352 (Nu$^2$~Lupi) is a naked-eye ($V = 5.78$) G-type main-sequence star that was discovered to host three planets with orbital periods of 11.6, 27.6, and 108.1 days via RV monitoring with the HARPS spectrograph. We present the detection and characterization of transits for the two inner planets of the HD~136352 system, revealing radii of $1.482^{+0.058}_{-0.056}$~$R_\oplus$ and $2.608^{+0.078}_{-0.077}$~$R_\oplus$ for planets b and c, respectively. We combine new HARPS observations with RV data from Keck/HIRES and the AAT, along with {\it TESS} photometry from Sector 12, to perform a complete analysis of the system parameters. The combined data analysis results in extracted bulk density values of $ρ_b = 7.8^{+1.2}_{-1.1}$~gcm$^{-3}$ and $ρ_c = 3.50^{+0.41}_{-0.36}$~gcm$^{-3}$ for planets b and c, respectively, thus placing them on either side of the radius valley. The combination of the multi-transiting planet system, the bright host star, and the diversity of planetary interiors and atmospheres means this will likely become a cornerstone system for atmospheric and orbital characterization of small worlds.

An exploration of South Asian women’s experiences following abnormal Pap smear results
Creators: name: Singh, Savitri W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Little information exists about South Asian women's experiences following abnormal cervical screening results particularly within the context of current health care services and structures, and regarding their perceptions of the adequacy of the information, counseling and support provided. This ethnographic study approached this problem by examining South Asian women's descriptions of their experiences of receiving abnormal Pap test results and of their follow-up diagnostic evaluations. Twelve women, five nurses, and six physicians from two colposcopy clinic participated in the study. Two family physicians from family practice were also included. Data was collected via audio-taped open-ended interviews and journaling. Data analysis proceeded simultaneously with the data collection. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed for common themes. Obvious issues such as language, cultural values, and beliefs, along with underlying societal, individual and institutional factors that co-exist with health care providers' ability to effectively communicate were described by the participants. Some women believed that healthcare providers hold assumptions that stereotype South Asian women. Although some health-care providers attempt to provide culturally sensitive care including the use of professional interpreters and language-specific printed information for women who do not speak English, others lack the resources to provide such care. In light of these findings, educational approaches are recommended for nurses and physicians that help to raise critical consciousness and foster awareness including the need to pay close attention to diversity and difference. Basic and continuing education that address the importance of individual assessments would enhance nurses' ability to identify women's individual needs and would help to reduce reliance on stereotypical descriptors of ethno-cultural groups. Future research to examine discourses in relation to cancer and how language is used when notifying women about their diagnosis is also recommended.

description: This research investigates the impact of reporting different kinds of trade information to buyers and sellers in laboratory markets, for which exchange is made through bilateral bargaining. Results suggest that public information may improve the bargaining position of buyers relative to sellers when there is spot delivery. In some cases sellers earn less than in a no information baseline. There is evidence of a curse of knowledge for sellers in our information experiments when quantity traded for the entire market is known. The mandatory price reporting of all trades does not improve the income of sellers.

description: It is said that Data and Information are the new oil. One, who handles the data, handles the emerging future of the global economy. Complex algorithms and intelligence-based filter programs are utilized to manage, store, handle and maneuver vast amounts of data for the fulfillment of specific purposes. This paper seeks to find the bridge between artificial intelligence and its impact on the international policy implementation in the light of geopolitical influence, global economy and the future of labor markets. We hypothesize that the distortion in the labor markets caused by artificial intelligence can be mitigated by a collaborative international foreign policy on the deployment of AI in the industrial circles. We, in this paper, then proceed to propose a disposition for the essentials of AI-based foreign policy and implementation, while asking questions such as 'could AI become the real Invisible Hand discussed by economists?'.

description: We propose a formula for the degeneracy of quarter BPS dyons in a class of CHL models. The formula uses a modular form of a subgroup of the genus two modular group Sp(2,Z). Our proposal is S-duality invariant and reproduces correctly the entropy of a dyonic black hole to first non-leading order for large values of the charges.

description: Building on the work in \cite{BCH15,CH18,TIVP17}, in this article we propose and study a simple, geometrically constrained, probabilistic algorithm geared towards capturing some aspects of the nucleation in shape-memory alloys. As a main novelty with respect to the algorithms in \cite{BCH15,CH18,TIVP17} we include \emph{mechanical compatibility}. The mechanical compatibility here is guaranteed by using \emph{convex integration building blocks} in the nucleation steps. We analytically investigate the algorithm's convergence and the solutions' regularity, viewing the latter as a measure for the fractality of the resulting microstructure. We complement our analysis with a numerical implemenation of the scheme and compare it to the numerical results in \cite{BCH15,CH18,TIVP17}.

description: The introduction of modern crops varieties in the mid-1960s caused a dramatic change, known as the “green revolution”, in agricultural production in Asia, as elsewhere. However, in spite of their yields, the process of adoption of these varieties has taken a long time, and even today traditional varieties are still widely grown. Various reasons, such as imperfect information, uncertainty, inadequate human capital, and institutional constraints, have been given for this slow diffusion. This research during 1960-79 emphasizes the role of economic incentives and resource availability in determining the pace of technology adoption. Only three years after their introduction, the modern wheat varieties accounted for 70 percent of the wheat area in Punjab. Thereafter, their spread wad more gradual. From this pattern, the authors conclude that the main determinant of the pace of adoption could not have been uncertainty or lack of information. The modern varieties perform best under irrigation and heavy doses of fertilizer, and therefore their expansion of these inputs required mobilization of resources from other activities. The improvement in yield increased the rate of returns to investment in irrigation and fertilizer production and thus generated a gradual expansion in their supply. Since total resources are scarce, such a shift is time-consuming. This explanation illustrates what the authors see as a general and important aspect of the implementation of new technology. When the resource requirements of the new technology are different from those of the existing technology, the pace of the implementation will be determined by the speed at which the resources can be shifted to the new technology. This speed depends on the difference in productivity between the new and existing techniques and on prices and overall resource availability. This identification of the process has far- reaching implications for policies directed toward agricultural growth. This study is part of IFPRI’s continuing research efforts in analyzing the nature and economic consequences of technological change and follows earlier work on the green revolution.

description: General depth weighted scatter estimators are introduced and investigated. For general depth functions, we find out that these affine equivariant scatter estimators are Fisher consistent and unbiased for a wide range of multivariate distributions, and show that the sample scatter estimators are strong and \sqrtn-consistent and asymptotically normal, and the influence functions of the estimators exist and are bounded in general. We then concentrate on a specific case of the general depth weighted scatter estimators, the projection depth weighted scatter estimators, which include as a special case the well-known Stahel-Donoho scatter estimator whose limiting distribution has long been open until this paper. Large sample behavior, including consistency and asymptotic normality, and efficiency and finite sample behavior, including breakdown point and relative efficiency of the sample projection depth weighted scatter estimators, are thoroughly investigated. The influence function and the maximum bias of the projection depth weighted scatter estimators are derived and examined. Unlike typical high-breakdown competitors, the projection depth weighted scatter estimators can integrate high breakdown point and high efficiency while enjoying a bounded-influence function and a moderate maximum bias curve. Comparisons with leading estimators on asymptotic relative efficiency and gross error sensitivity reveal that the projection depth weighted scatter estimators behave very well overall and, consequently, represent very favorable choices of affine equivariant multivariate scatter estimators.
