description: “Inovações Tecnológicas e Pesquisas Aplicadas à Gestão do Saneamento e Recursos Hídricos” foram os temas centrais do seminário promovido pela Câmara Técnica de Integração e Difusão de Pesquisas e Tecnologias (CT-ID) dos Comitês PCJ, em Piracicaba, com o apoio da Agência das Bacias PCJ. Um dos principais objetivos da CT- ID, com esse seminário, foi fortalecer um processo de reconhecimento e divulgação de organizações que se destacam pela utilização de boas práticas de operação e gestão do saneamento.
A programação trouxe especialistas da área de saneamento e gestão dos recursos hídricos, que abordaram o tema das “Demandas e desafios da gestão do saneamento” e apresentaram cases de “Inovação na gestão do saneamento”. O seminário também contou com a apresentação de pôsteres com cases de Eficiência Operacional no Saneamento e Inovação da Gestão em Saneamento.
Com essa iniciativa, a intenção da CT-ID é criar um banco de experiências para fomentar processos de benchmarking de inovação na operação e gestão do saneamento. É exatamente aqui onde entra um papel importante da Câmara Técnica de Integração e Difusão de Pesquisas e Tecnologias, ou seja, favorecer acesso a informações, promover pontes duradouras entre demandas do setor e produção de inovações, alinhadas ao contexto e necessidades na nossas Bacias PCJ. O conjunto de programas e ações que estão em curso no âmbito da CT-ID significam buscar formas de incentivo à pesquisa, criação e inovação.
O Seminário trouxe exemplos reais de respostas de inovação para diversos gargalos do setor de saneamento e recursos hídricos. A pesquisa e inovação, em parceria com as Universidades e instituições de fomento, têm potencializado o desempenho de instituições, inclusive com impacto social positivo, por exemplo, na geração de renda e redução de riscos, na menor pressão sobre os recursos naturais, especialmente a questão da segurança hídrica, e maior resiliência das instituições frente às crises econômicas.

description: Experimental results are reported for the bulk motion induced in a bed of granular matter contained in a cylindrical pan with a flat bottom subjected to simultaneous vertical and horizontal vibrations. The motion in space of the moving pan is quantified. A number of distinct bulk dynamical modes are observed in which the particle bed adopts different shapes and motions. At the lowest pan excitation frequency $ω$, the bed forms a ``heap,'' and rotates about the cylinder axis. As $ω$ is increased, a more complex ``toroidal'' mode appears in which the bed takes the shape of a torus; in this mode, circulation occurs both about the cylinder axis, and also radially, with particles moving from the outer edge of the pan to the centre on the top surface of the bed, and back to the outer edge along the pan bottom. At the highest $ω$, surface modulations (``surface waves'' and ``sectors'') of the toroidal mode occur. The origin of this family of behavior in terms of the pan motion is discussed.

description: A new method is proposed for extrapolation of elastic-scattering data to the negative-energy region for a short-range interaction. The method is based on the analytic approximation of the modulus-squared of the partial-wave scattering amplitude. It is shown that the proposed method has an advantage over the traditional one based on continuation of the effective-range function. The new method has been applied to determine the asymptotic normalization coefficients for the $^{17}$O and $^{13}$C nuclei in the $n+^{16}$O and $n+^{12}$C channels, respectively.

description: As the strongest typhoon in 2015, the rapid intensification (RI) process of Typhoon Mujigae is simulated at the cloud-resolving scale by utilizing the Weather Research and Forecasting model, coupled with observed sea surface temperature (SST) and reduced SST as the control and sensitivity experiments, respectively. The spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of upper-tropospheric potential vorticity (PV) and its response to SST changes are analyzed simultaneously. The results show a significant upper-tropospheric PV anomaly 6 h before RI, which indicates the approaching RI of Typhoon Mujigae. Deep convection overlies the strong signals of upper-tropospheric PV anomalies. More insight into the PV budget analysis verifies that the diabatic heating effect and vertical advection terms associated with deep convection dominate the upper-tropospheric PV anomaly, inferring that deep convection plays a crucial role in the upper-tropospheric PV anomaly. As SST decreases, diabatic heating and vertical advection effects are weakened due to reduced deep convection; therefore, the PV anomaly in the model run is not stronger than that in the control run, and the RI process of Mujigae disappears. Therefore, from the viewpoint of upper and lower-level interactions, how SST impacts upper-tropospheric PV anomalies and their interactions with RI are clarified. Thus, in addition to SST, the upper-tropospheric PV anomaly might be a significant factor in differentiating between RI and non-RI tropical cyclones.

description: This paper studies the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on economic growth through key microeconomic aggregates in both the short and long run. The macroeconomic variables of this study include GDP, Consumption and Investment. The study adopted multi- sector models to chart the economic effects of AI. The study followed an endogenous economic growth framework that starts with the basic Cobb-Douglas function. AI is a general-purpose technology that improves productivity growth. AI adoption raises aggregate output, consumption and investment. The successful adoption and integration of AI technologies need adequate infrastructure, data availability and supportive policies which vary across different economies. Government should make public policy on AI to encourage firms and households to adopt AI and focus on sectors of the economy that produce consumption goods as they promise high returns.
Spectropolarimetry of the Type II Supernovae 1997ds, 1998A, and 1999gi

description: We present single-epoch spectropolarimetry of the Type II supernovae (SNe II) 1997ds, 1998A, and 1999gi. SN 1997ds and SN 1998A were both observed during the early photospheric phase, while spectropolarimetry of SN 1999gi was obtained near the start of the transition to the nebular phase. Uncorrected for interstellar polarization (ISP), SN 1997ds is characterized by p_V = 0.85 +/- 0.02%, SN 1998A has p_V = 0.24 +/- 0.05%, and SN 1999gi is polarized at p_V = 5.72 +/- 0.01%. The low continuum polarization inferred for SN 1997ds and SN 1998A and the amplitude of polarization modulations across strong line features are consistent with those measured at similar epochs for SN 1987A and the Type II-plateau SN 1999em, and supports the growing consensus that core-collapse events with hydrogen envelopes substantially intact at the time of explosion are not significantly aspherical during the early photospheric phase. The spectral shape of the high continuum polarization of SN 1999gi closely resembles a ``Serkowski'' ISP curve, and is inconsistent with the wavelength-independent nature of electron scattering expected for an aspherical SN atmosphere. Since Galactic reddening is minimal along this line-of-sight, the majority of the observed polarization in SN 1999gi is believed to be due to ISP of the host galaxy, although significant (up to p = 2%) intrinsic polarization cannot be ruled out. The potential power of SN spectropolarimetry to study the properties of interstellar dust in external galaxies is described and applied to the SN 1999gi data, where it is shown that if the polarization is indeed predominantly interstellar in origin, then R_V = 3.0 +/- 0.2 for the dust along this line-of-sight in NGC 3184.

description: The Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn and Baldin-Lapidus sum rules are evaluated in the dressed K-matrix model for photon-induced reactions on the nucleon. For the first time the sum $α+β$ of the electric and magnetic polarisabilities and the forward spin polarisability $γ_0$ are explicitly calculated in two alternative ways -- from the sum rules and from the low-energy expansion of the real Compton scattering amplitude -- within the {\em same} framework. The two methods yield compatible values for $α+β$ but differ somewhat for $γ_0$. Consistency between the two ways of determining the polarisabilities is a measure of the extent to which basic symmetries of the model are obeyed.

description: Long-term memory (LTM) in the climate system has been well recognized and applied in different research fields, but the origins of this property are still not clear. In this work, the authors contribute to this issue by studying model simulations under different scenarios. The global mean temperatures from pre-industrial control runs (piControl), historical (all forcings) simulations, natural forcing only simulations (HistoricalNat), greenhouse gas forcing only simulations (HistoricalGHG), etc., are analyzed using the detrended fluctuation analysis. The authors find that the LTM already exists in the piControl simulations, indicating the important roles of internal natural variability in producing the LTM. By comparing the results among different scenarios, the LTM from the piControl runs is further found to be strengthened by adding natural forcings such as the volcanic forcing and the solar forcing. Accordingly, the observed LTM in the climate system is suggested to be mainly controlled by both the ‘internal’ natural variability and the ‘external’ natural forcings. The anthropogenic forcings, however, may weaken the LTM. In the projections from RCP2.6 to RCP8.5, a weakening trend of the LTM strength is found. In view of the close relations between the climate memory and the climate predictability, a reduced predictability may be expected in a warming climate.

description: Developmental behavior of a company means searching for concepts and instruments which harmonize goals and possibilities of the company with challenges and threats from surrounding. Developmental goals represents anticipated effects, conditions or situations which company wants to achieve. Developmental policy gathers a certain group of rules, criteria or principles that the company will do in making decisions about growth and development. In order to achieve developmental goals a direction and method of the company’s action must be set up. Management of growth and development of the company means setting up a strategy as a way of putting developmental policy into reality.

description: We propose the use of dipolaritons -- quantum well excitons with large dipole moment, coupled to a planar microcavity -- for generating terahertz (THz) radiation. This is achieved by exciting the system with two THz detuned lasers that leads to dipole moment oscillations of the exciton polariton at the detuning frequency, thus generating a THz emission. We have optimized the structural parameters of a system with microcavity embedded AlGaAs double quantum wells and shown that the THz emission intensity is maximized if the laser frequencies both match different dipolariton states. The influence of the electronic tunnel coupling between the wells on the frequency and intensity of the THz radiation is also investigated, demonstrating a trade-off between the polariton dipole moment and the Rabi splitting.

description: Orbital phase-dependent variations in thermal emission and reflected stellar energy spectra can provide meaningful constraints on the climate states of terrestrial extrasolar planets orbiting M dwarf stars. Spatial distributions of water vapor, clouds, and surface ice are controlled by climate. In turn, water, in each of its thermodynamic phases, imposes significant modulations to thermal and reflected planetary spectra. Here we explore these characteristic spectral signals, based on 3D climate simulations of Earth-sized aquaplanets orbiting M dwarf stars near the habitable zone. By using 3D models, we can self-consistently predict surface temperatures and the location of water vapor, clouds, and surface ice in the climate system. Habitable zone planets in M dwarf systems are expected to be in synchronous rotation with their host star and thus present distinct differences in emitted and reflected energy fluxes depending on the observed hemisphere. Here we illustrate that icy, temperate, and incipient runaway greenhouse climate states exhibit phase-dependent spectral signals that enable their characterization.

Noncommutative extensions of the Fourier transform and its logarithm

description: We introduce and study noncommutative extensions of the Fourier transform and its logarithm to the algebra of functions on the free semigroup FS(2) on two generators with the convolution multiplication. These extensions are new types of moment and cumulant generating functions, respectively, the latter corresponding to the cumulants which are additive under the so-called filtered convolution on the free *-algebra on two generators. This algebra plays the role of a ``noncommutative plane'' built on the ``classical real line'' and the ``boolean real line''. The restrictions of the cumulant generating function to the commutative subsemigroups generated by single generators give the logarithm of the Fourier transform and the K-transform in the boolean case, respectively. In turn, the moment generating function is a ``semigroup interpolation'' between the Fourier transform and the Cauchy transform. Using suitable weight function $W$ on the semigroup, both generating functions become elements of the Banach algebra $l^{1}(FS(2),W)$. The main results of the paper are based on the new combinatorics developed for the cumulants, the Moebius function and the moment-cumulant formulas.

description: Three peaks and two dips have been detected in the power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background from the BOOMERANG experiment, at $\ell \sim 210, 540, 840$ and $\ell \sim 420, 750$, respectively. Using model-independent analyses, we find that all five features are statistically significant and we measure their location and amplitude. These are consistent with the adiabatic inflationary model. We also calculate the mean and variance of the peak and dip locations and amplitudes in a large 7-dimensional parameter space of such models, which gives good agreement with the model-independent estimates, and forecast where the next few peaks and dips should be found if the basic paradigm is correct. We test the robustness of our results by comparing Bayesian marginalization techniques on this space with likelihood maximization techniques applied to a second 7-dimensional cosmological parameter space, using an independent computational pipeline, and find excellent agreement: $Ω_{\rm tot} = 1.02^{+0.06}_{-0.05}$ {\it vs.} $1.04 \pm 0.05$, $Ω_b h^2 = 0.022^{+0.004}_{-0.003}$ {\it vs.} $0.019^{+0.005}_{-0.004}$, and $n_s = 0.96^{+0.10}_{-0.09}$ {\it vs.} $0.90 \pm 0.08$. The deviation in primordial spectral index $n_s$ is a consequence of the strong correlation with the optical depth.

description: The simulated sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) over the tropical Pacific during El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is investigated in three representative coupled models: CESM1-CAM5, FGOALS-s2, and FGOALS-g2. It is found that there is a significant westward shift bias in reproducing the zonal distribution (ZD) of the ENSO-related SSTA in CESM1-CAM5 and FGOALS-s2, whereas the SSTA-ZD simulated by FGOALS-g2 is relatively realistic. Through examining the SSTA-ZD during both warm and cold phases of ENSO separately, the authors reveal that the SSTA-ZD simulation bias during the ENSO cycle mainly lies in the bias during the warm phase. It is noted that both the simulated zonal wind stress anomaly (τx′) and shortwave heat flux (SW) anomaly exhibit westward shift biases in CESM1-CAM5 and FGOALS-s2, while the counterparts in FGOALS-g2 are relatively reasonable. The westward shift biases in representing τx′ and the SW anomaly (SWA) are attributed to the westward-shifted precipitation anomaly (PrA). It is suggested that the mean SST cold bias over the cold tongue region is the key factor behind the westward-shift bias in simulating the El Niño-related PrA, which leads to the westward-shifted τx′ and SWA. Collectively, the aforementioned anomaly fields, including the dynamic part (τx′) and thermodynamic part (SWA), contribute to the westward-shift bias in simulating the El Niño-related SSTA. This study provides clues for understanding the ZD simulation biases of ENSO-related fields; however, further in-depth investigation with more model simulations, especially the incoming CMIP6 simulations, is still needed to fully understand the ENSO SSTA-ZD simulation bias in coupled models.

description: We describe the X-ray properties of a large sample of $z\sim3$ Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) in the region of the Hubble Deep Field North, derived from the 1 Ms public Chandra observation. Of our sample of 148 LBGs, four are detected individually. This immediately gives a measure of the bright AGN fraction in these galaxies of $\sim 3$~per cent, which is in agreement with that derived from the UV spectra. The X-ray color of the detected sources indicates that they are probably moderately obscured. Stacking of the remainder shows a significant detection ($6σ$) with an average luminosity of $3.5 \times 10^{41}$~erg s$^{-1}$ per galaxy in the rest frame 2-10 keV band. We have also studied a comparison sample of 95 z$\sim 1$ ``Balmer Break'' galaxies. Eight of these are detected directly, with at least two clear AGN based on their high X-ray luminosity and very hard X-ray spectra respectively. The remainder are of relatively low luminosity ($<10^{42}$~erg s$^{-1}$), and the X-rays could arise from either AGN or rapid star-formation. The X-ray colors and evidence from other wavebands favor the latter interpretation. Excluding the clear AGN, we deduce a mean X-ray luminosity of $6.6 \times 10^{40}$~erg s$^{-1}$, a factor $\sim 5$ lower than the LBGs. The average ratio of the UV and X-ray luminosities of these starforming galaxies $L_{\rm UV}/L_{\rm X}$, however, is approximately the same at $z = 1$ as it is at $z = 3$. This scaling implies that the X-ray emission follows the current star formation rate, as measured by the UV luminosity. We use our results to constrain the star formation rate at $z\sim 3$ from an X-ray perspective (truncated).

description: A recently proposed stochastic cellular automaton model ({\it J. Phys. A 35, L573 (2002)}), motivated by the motions of ants in a trail, is investigated in detail in this paper. The flux of ants in this model is sensitive to the probability of evaporation of pheromone, and the average speed of the ants varies non-monotonically with their density. This remarkable property is analyzed here using phenomenological and microscopic approximations thereby elucidating the nature of the spatio-temporal organization of the ants. We find that the observations can be understood by the formation of loose clusters, i.e. space regions of enhanced, but not maximal, density.

description: The United States has historically played a dominant role in the global trade, and therefore price formation, of major food, feed and fiber commodities. As the share of agricultural commodities exports produced by the US has recently declined, international supply and demand fundamentals likely play a larger role in setting even domestic commodity prices. Using wavelet coherence methods, this article examine the relationship between U.S. and international prices for corn, soybeans, and cotton. Our results reveal that integration between the markets of major exporters and importers of these commodities evolves over time: short-run (around 20 trading days) relationships between domestic and international prices are, in many cases, not stable, and even the long-run relationships between many price pairs is subject to distinct structural breaks. As the two major agricultural commodity exporters of corn and soybeans, the US and Brazil exhibit integration in the form of consistently significant long-run price relationships. In contrast, we show that Chinese agricultural commodity prices share little or no distinguishable relationship with the U.S., even though China is one of the biggest importers of U.S. products. This is likely due to Chinese trade barriers and price support policies that, while insulating domestic prices from external shocks, kept its own prices substantially higher than other countries from 2009- 2016.

description: In determining the optimal redistribution of a given population’s income, we ask which factor is more important: the social planner’s aversion to inequality, embedded in an isoelastic social welfare function indexed by a parameter alpha, or the individuals’ concern at having a low relative income, indexed by a parameter beta in a utility function that is a convex combination of (absolute) income and low relative income. Assuming that the redistribution comes at a cost (because only a fraction of a taxed income can be transferred), we find that there exists a critical level of beta below which different isoelastic social planners choose different optimal allocations of incomes. However, if beta is above that critical level, all isoelastic social planners choose the same allocation of incomes because they then find that an equal distribution of incomes maximizes social welfare regardless of the magnitude of alpha.

description: The triaxial deformation in $^{10}$Be is investigated using a microscopic $α+α+n+n$ model. The states of two valence neutrons are classified based on the molecular-orbit (MO) model, and the $π$-orbit is introduced about the axis connecting the two $α$-clusters for the description of the rotational bands. There appear two rotational bands comprised mainly of $K^π= 0^+$ and $K^π= 2^+$, respectively, at low excitation energy, where the two valence neutrons occupy $K^π= 3/2^-$ or $K^π= 1/2^-$ orbits. The triaxiality and the $K$-mixing are discussed in connection to the molecular structure, particularly, to the spin-orbit splitting. The extent of the triaxial deformation is evaluated in terms of the electro-magnetic transition matrix elements (Davydov-Filippov model, Q-invariant model), and density distribution in the intrinsic frame. The obtained values turned out to be $γ= 15^o \sim 20^o$.

description: This study explores the model performance of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) in simulating precipitation extremes over the mid–high latitudes of Asia, as compared with predecessor models in the previous phase, CMIP5. Results show that the multimodel ensemble median generally outperforms the individual models in simulating the climate means of precipitation extremes. The CMIP6 models possess a relatively higher capability in this respect than the CMIP5 models. However, discrepancies also exist between models and observation, insofar as most of the simulated indices are positively biased to varying degrees. With respect to the temporal performance of indices, the majority are overestimated at most time points, along with large uncertainty. Therefore, the capacity to simulate the interannual variability needs to be further improved. Furthermore, pairwise and multimodel ensemble comparisons were performed for 12 models to evaluate the performance of individual models, revealing that most of the new-version models are better than their predecessors, albeit with some variance in the metrics amongst models and indices.

Food Security and Poverty

description: There is no gainsaying the fact that Agriculture remains the backbone of developing nation’s economy considering its importance for food security as well as major source of employment and rural livelihood. This is true in Africa as Agriculture remains the major source of income though this varies widely across countries. However, percentage share of agriculture in national GDP of many African countries in the recent time is declining. This coupled with increase in demand for food, population growth as well as changing in consumers’ food patterns have led to increment in food importation bills of many African countries in other to meet their domestic food demand. This paper therefore reviewed the possibilities of African agriculture achieving food sufficiency in the face of 21st century agricultural challenges and opportunities. Effort was made to understudy the pathway to India Agriculture attaining food sufficiency keeping in mind the similarity of India Agriculture to African agricultural scenario with nearly same opportunities and challenges. We therefore conclude that a proactive and innovative pathway should be created in Africa using policy tools, adoption of proven adaptable agricultural technologies as well as promotion of climate smart agricultural technologies for transformation of Africa Agriculture from net importer of food to food sufficiency as well as becoming net exporter of food.

description: We numerically investigate the dynamical and chemical processes of the formation of elliptical galaxies in a cold dark matter (CDM) universe, in order to understand the origin of the mass-dependence of the photometric properties of elliptical galaxies. Our three-dimensional TREE N-body/SPH numerical simulations of elliptical galaxy formation take into account both Type II (SNe II) and Type Ia (SNe Ia) supernovae (SNe) and follow the time evolution of the abundances of several chemical elements (C, O, Ne, Mg, Si, and Fe). Moreover we compare different strengths of SNe feedback.In combination with stellar population synthesis, we derive the photometric properties of simulation end-products, including the magnitude, color, half-light radius, and abundance ratios, and compare them with the observed scaling relations directly and quantitatively. We find that the extremely strong influence of SNe is required to reproduce the observed color-magnitude relation (CMR), where we assume each SN yields energy of 4x10^51 ergs and that 90% of this energy is ejected as kinetic feedback. The feedback affects the evolution of lower mass systems more strongly and induces the galactic wind by which a larger fraction of gas is blown out in a lower mass system. Finally higher mass systems become more metal rich and have redder colors than lower mass systems. We emphasize based on our simulation results that the galactic wind is triggered mainly by SNe Ia rather than SNe II. In addition we examined the Kormendy relation, which prescribes the size of elliptical galaxies, and the [Mg/Fe]--magnitude relation, which provides a strong constraint on the star formation history.

description: Realizing quantum materials in few atomic layer morphologies is a key to both observing and controlling a wide variety of exotic quantum phenomena. This includes topological electronic materials, where the tunability and dimensionality of few layer materials have enabled the detection of $Z_2$, Chern, and Majorana phases. Here, we report the development of a platform for thin film correlated, topological states in the magnetic rare-earth monopnictide ($RX$) system GdBi synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy. This material is known from bulk single crystal studies to be semimetallic antiferromagnets with Neel temperature $T_N =$ 28 K and is the magnetic analog of the non-$f$-electron containing system LaBi proposed to have topological surface states. Our transport and magnetization studies of thin films grown epitaxially on BaF$_2$ reveal that semimetallicity is lifted below approximately 8 crystallographic unit cells while magnetic order is maintained down to our minimum thickness of 5 crystallographic unit cells. First-principles calculations show that the non-trivial topology is preserved down to the monolayer limit, where quantum confinement and the lattice symmetry give rise to a $C=2$ Chern insulator phase. We further demonstrate the stabilization of these films against atmospheric degradation using a combination of air-free buffer and capping procedures. These results together identify thin film $RX$ materials as potential platforms for engineering topological electronic bands in correlated magnetic materials.

description: Objective: Systemic features influence disease prognosis and choice of treatment in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS). Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of pulmonary involvement in pSS patients and to classify patients according to the pulmonary domain of the EULAR Sjögren’s Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI). Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive pSS patients, fulfilling American–European Consensus Group/American College of Rheumatology classification criteria, who visited the Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, University Medical Center Groningen, in 2015. Data on pulmonary complaints and pulmonary tests were obtained from electronic patient records. Pulmonary involvement was recorded if therapy was needed or follow-up was recommended, and when it was possibly or assumed to be related to pSS instead of coincidental factors. Results: Of the 262 included pSS patients, 88 (34%) had pulmonary complaints, mostly cough or dyspnoea on exertion. Pulmonary diagnostics were performed in 225 patients (86%). Pulmonary involvement was present and assumed to be related to pSS in 25 patients (10%) and possibly related to pSS in 14 (5%). Interstitial lung disease (ILD, n = 15), especially non-specific interstitial pneumonia (n = 7), was present most commonly. In total, 16 patients (6%) were scored as low (n = 4), moderate (n = 11), or high activity (n = 1) on the ESSDAI pulmonary domain. Conclusion: In this cross-sectional study in daily clinical practice, pulmonary involvement was present in 10–15% of pSS patients, of which ILD was most common. Of all pSS patients, 6% were scored as active on the pulmonary domain of the ESSDAI.
