description: We concretely define the identity string field as a surface state and deal with it consistently in terms of conformal field theory language, never using its formal properties nor oscillator representation of it. The generalized gluing and resmoothing theorem provides us with a powerful computational tool which fits into our framework. Among others, we can prove that in some situations the identity state defined this way actually behaves itself like an identity element under the *-product. We use these CFT techniques to give an explicit expression of the classical solution in the ordinary cubic string field theory having the property that the conjectured vacuum string field theory action arises when the cubic action is expanded around it.

description: Precise knowledge about the size of a crowd, its density and flow can provide valuable information for safety and security applications, event planning, architectural design and to analyze consumer behavior. Creating a powerful machine learning model, to employ for such applications requires a large and highly accurate and reliable dataset. Unfortunately the existing crowd counting and density estimation benchmark datasets are not only limited in terms of their size, but also lack annotation, in general too time consuming to implement. This paper attempts to address this very issue through a content aware technique, uses combinations of Chan-Vese segmentation algorithm, two-dimensional Gaussian filter and brute-force nearest neighbor search. The results shows that by simply replacing the commonly used density map generators with the proposed method, higher level of accuracy can be achieved using the existing state of the art models.

description: Using data from the third Cameroonian Households Consumption Survey (CHCS 3), this research examines the implications of gender responsive microcredit policy on inclusive growth and food security in Cameroon. The study also presents the evolution of Microfinance Institution’s performance. Therefore we put on evidence both a statistical and econometrics methodological framework. Empirical evidences show that, all over the country women have less access to land and formal credit than men, particularly in rural area. Women usually get access to credit thanks to common initiative groups (group lending approach), informal lenders, friends, neighbours, which then constitute the informal financial sector. This credit is used for income-generating activities especially in agricultural sector in order to promote an agricultural-based inclusive growth that lead to food security and poverty alleviation. As far as the linkage between women access to credit and food security is concerned, results indicate that household’s basic goods expenditures such as food and clothing significantly increase with regards to women’s easier access to loans or microcredit. We suggest to Cameroonian authorities to put in place a gender sensitive budgeting, to promote women access to formal credit because access to credit help women to achieve food security for them and their family, it empowers them and promote inclusive growth in the agricultural sector.

description: Atomistic simulations provide a meaningful way to determine the physico-chemical properties of liquids in a consistent theoretical framework. This approach takes on particular usefulness for the study of molten carbonates, in a context where thermodynamic and transport data are crucially needed over a large domain of temperatures and pressures (to ascertain the role of these melts in geochemical processes) but are very scarce in the literature, especially for the calco-magnesian compositions prevailing in the Earth's mantle. Following our work on Li2CO3-Na2CO3-K2CO3 melts, we extend our force field to incorporate Ca and Mg components. The empirical interaction potentials are benchmarked on the density data available in the experimental literature (for the crystals and the K2Ca(CO3)2 melt) and on the liquid structure issued from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Molecular dynamics simulations are then performed to study the thermodynamics, the microscopic structure, the diffusion coefficients, the electrical conductivity and the viscosity of molten Ca, Mg-bearing carbonates up to 2073 K and 15 GPa. Additionally, the equation of state of a Na-Ca-K mixture representative of the lavas emitted at Ol Doinyo Lengai (Tanzania) is evaluated. The overall agreement between the MD results and the existing experimental data is very satisfying and provides evidence for the ability of the force field to accurately model any MgCO3-CaCO3-Li2CO3-Na2CO3-K2CO3 melt over a large T - P range. Moreover it is the first report of a force field allowing to study the transport properties of molten magnesite (MgCO3) and molten dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2).

description: The estimate of the number and space density of obscured AGN over cosmic time still represents an open issue. While the obscured AGN population is a key ingredient of the X-ray background synthesis models and is needed to reproduce its shape, a complete census of obscured AGN is still missing. Here we test the selection of obscured sources among the local 12-micron sample of Seyfert galaxies. Our selection is based on a difference up to three orders of magnitude in the ratio between the AGN bolometric luminosity, derived from the spectral energy distribution (SED) decomposition, and the same quantity obtained by the published XMM-Newton 2-10 keV luminosity. The selected sources are UGC05101, NGC1194 and NGC3079 for which the available X-ray wide bandpass, from Chandra and XMM-Newton plus NuSTAR data, extending to energies up to ~30-45 keV, allows us an accurate determination of the column density, and hence of the true intrinsic power. The newly derived NH values clearly indicate heavy obscuration (about 1.2, 2.1 and 2.4 x10^{24} cm-2 for UGC05101, NGC1194 and NGC3079, respectively) and are consistent with the prominent silicate absorption feature observed in the Spitzer-IRS spectra of these sources (at 9.7 micron rest frame). We finally checked that the resulting X-ray luminosities in the 2-10 keV band are in good agreement with those derived from the mid-IR band through empirical L_MIR-L_X relations.

aluminium foam

description: Modern machine tools have to be stiff but also light, they should work quickly and precisely. So, development engineers are in a field of conflict. The conflict cannot be solved with conventional methods and materials. To match these conditions the compound material HoverLIGHT was created. It consists of a metal matrix material (aluminium foam) and small particle filled hollow spheres with a diameter of 3-5 millimetres. The HoverLIGHT material is used for the core in sandwiches. It combines the lightweight on one side and good damping properties on the other side. The presentation reports about a research project conducted in a collaboration of Fraunhofer IFAM and Fraunhofer IWU. Aspects of the project were first to bring the material into an industrial scale and second to show the benefit for machine tool industry. For that reason, it was decided to create a demonstrator in the form of a gantry from a milling machine. The demonstrator was designed to replace a conventional assembly in an existing machine, so it has to meet all the functional requirements. First, all interfaces to joining parts have to be realised, that means the outer shape could not really be modified. In the next step the static stiffness of the original part must be achieved with the new material and of course, preferably, with less weight. Therefore, a lot of simulation work was done with FEM-software ANSYS. As a result, the demonstrator has nearly the stiffness of the massive steel assembly, but a reduction of weight by 20 %. But static stiffness is only the first step to meet the requirements of machine tool industry, also the dynamic behaviour must be in focus. In general, the demonstrator has the same natural frequencies in comparison to the massive steel design. But there, appear in higher frequencies some wall-vibrations. These can be prevented by the sandwich-design. Furthermore, in diagram, which shows flexibility over frequency-range, simulation shows how the HoverLIGHT-material damps amplitudes efficiently.

description: This report examines the amount of food available for consumption and related food trends in the United States from 1970 to 2014 using the food availability data in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service’s Food Availability (Per Capita) Data System. By comparing the loss-adjusted food availability data (a proxy for food consumption) with the dietary recommendations in the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the report also estimates whether Americans, on average, are at, above, or below dietary recommendations for fruit, vegetables, grains, protein foods, dairy, added fats and oils, and added sugars and sweeteners. The loss-adjusted food availability data are derived from the food availability data by adjusting for food spoilage, plate waste, and other losses to more closely approximate per capita consumption. The findings indicate that Americans' consumption, on average, is below the dietary recommendations for fruit, vegetables, and dairy and above the recommendations for grains, protein foods, added fats and oils, and added sugars and sweeteners on the basis of a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet. To meet these recommendations, Americans would need to lower their consumption of added fats, refined grains, and added sugars and sweeteners, and increase their consumption of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, seafood, and low-fat dairy products.

The main feature of such techniques, the construction of an unbiased walk on energy space, suggests their use on the quest for optimal solutions of an optimization problem. Moreover, the entropy, and its associated density of states, give us information concerning the feasibility of solutions.

description: Two-dimensional atomic crystals (2DACs) can be mechanically assembled with precision for the fabrication of heterostructures, allowing for the combination of material building blocks with great flexibility. In addition, while conventional nanolithography can be detrimental to most of the 2DACs which are not sufficiently inert, mechanical assembly potentially minimizes the nanofabrication processing and preserves the intrinsic physical properties of the 2DACs. In this work we study the interfacial charge transport between various 2DACs and electrical contacts, by fabricating and characterizing 2DAC-superconductor junctions through mechanical transfer. Compared to devices fabricated with conventional nanolithography, mechanically assembled devices show comparable or better interface transparency. Surface roughness at the electrical contacts is identified to be a major limitation to the interface quality.

We obtain in this way the desired Wess-Zumino and gauge fixing terms of BRST invariant Lagrangian. Furthermore, the integrability properties of the second-class system described by the Abelian Proca model are investigated using the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism, where we construct the closed Lie algebra by introducing operators associated with the generalized Poisson brackets.

description: This article discusses the competitive performance of the Namibian date industry from 2001 to 2013 in a highly competitive global environment. Competitiveness is viewed as the ability of an industry to sustain trade against the competition in the global market. The economic sustainability of the Namibian date fruit industry is found to be dependent on its trading performance with more than 90% of the production being exported. In this study, the conventional �agribusiness competitive analysis� framework (refer to Ismea, 1999; Esterhuizen, 2006; Van Rooyen et al., 2011, 2012; Jafta, 2014 and Boonzaaier, 2015) is expanded to: measure and consider the validity of the questions posed to industry executives; to contain information on the current impacts vs. long-term relevance of the various factors influencing the competitive performance; as well as to consider consensus vs. variations in opinions and similarities and differences within the date industry value chain. The relative trade advantage (RTA) method, extended by Volrath (1991) from the original Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) model (Balassa, 1965; 1989), was firstly used to empirically measure competitive performance. The opinions of the Namibian date executives through the Date Executive Surveys (DES, 2015) are then used to identify and discuss the competitiveness trends and to qualitatively analyse factors influencing the competitive performance of this industry. The Porter Diamond is applied to derive the industry determinants of competitive performance. The factors identified were grouped into the six Porter diamond determinants, statistically analysed and discussed to account for value chain differences and consensus vs conflict views. Based on the analysis, industry-level strategic actions are proposed to enhance competitive performance. Key Words: Competitive Performance, Namibian Date Industry, Five-Step Analytical Framework, Relative Trade Advantage (RTA) and Porter Diamond

The formula extends existing formulae and also enables us to analyze novel B-phase/A-phase/B-phase (BAB) junctions in superfluid helium three systems, which are accessible to experiments. It is predicted that BAB junctions will exhibit two types of current-phase relations associated with different internal symmetries. A ``pseudo-magnetic interface effect'' inherent in the system is also revealed.

The study was funded by Banca Popolare Etica, it involved three Universities of the Region (Università Politecnica delle Marche, Università di Macerata, Università di Camerino), adopting an interdisciplinary approach. It aimed at investigating the cultural, economic and political determinants that characterize the world of critical consumption, examining a sample of 20 GAS (Gruppi di Acquisto Solidale, Solidarity Purchasing Groups), 182 GAS members and 50 firms (among which 20 agricultural GAS suppliers). Data was collected through ad hoc questionnaires, in depth interviews and focus group interviews. Qualitative and quantitative data have been analysed by the different research equips from a sociological, psycho-sociological and economic point of view, providing an insight on different issues concerning the actual framework of the solidarity economy in the region and possible further developments. The GAS experience emerges as a very diversified reality centred in the food economy, and food quality is a particularly sensitive issue to those who are involved in a GAS. In some ways the GAS members emerge as an élite group that does not represent the worldwide society. There is an abstract belief in the social function of the state of minority active citizenship as a factor of social change, but to affect the social reality a relevant set of organization and communication skills is needed. Focusing on the suppliers linked to the GAS network, the analysis highlights that the question of market organization was sometimes lived as personal hard work rather than a goal to be achieved together with a participatory approach and shared aims. Basing the analysis on GAS experience, a reading of Solidarity Economy nature and development in Marche Region will be provided.

description: We propose a new mechanism to explain neutrino masses with lepton number conservation, in which the Dirac neutrino masses are generated at the two-loop level involving a dark matter candidate. In this model, branching ratios of lepton flavor violating decays of the Higgs boson can be much larger than those of lepton flavor violating decays of charged leptons. If lepton flavor violating decays of the Higgs boson are observed at future collider experiments without detecting lepton flavor violating decays of charged leptons, most of the models previously proposed for tiny neutrino masses are excluded while our model can still survive. We show that the model can be viable under constraints from current data for neutrino experiments, searches for lepton flavor violating decays of charged leptons and dark matter experiments.

description: We analyze a model of a nonlinear bath consisting of a single two-level system coupled to a linear bath (a classical noise force in the limit considered here). This allows us to study the effects of a nonlinear, non-Markoffian bath in a particularly simple situation. We analyze the effects of this bath onto the dynamics of a spin by calculating the decay of the equilibrium correlator of the spin's z-component. The exact results are compared with those obtained using three commonly used approximations: a Markoffian master equation for the spin dynamics, a weak-coupling approximation, and the substitution of a linear bath for the original nonlinear bath.

description: The agricultural sector is receiving a great deal of attention for topics of general interest as the security, multifunctional activities, alternative uses of crops in food/feed/fuel, reduction in GHG (Green House Gas) emission, LCA (Life Cycle Assessment). The EU policies are directed to implement sustainable local agro-food systems, and the AFSC (agro-fuel supply chain) represent the central issue in planning agricultural commodities to be used for fuel production performed in a space-time dimension. In this paper it is presented a methodology of regional planning the AFSC supported by empirical evidences in the region FVG (Friuli Venezia Giulia). The reference crop is the Mais largely cultivated in this region and now used to satisfy food-feedstock-fuel demands. A composite d-base information system is used to simulate the AFSC to predict the consequences of food policies and suggest measures for the RDP (Regional Development Plan).With the integration of agronomic and economic disciplines it is possible to develop a strategy of regional planning for a sustainable production of bio-fuel.

description: We introduce a novel property of bipartite quantum states, which we call "faithfulness", and we say that a state is faithful when acting with a channel on one of the two quantum systems, the output state carries a complete information about the channel. The concept of faithfulness can also be extended to sets of states, when the output states patched together carry a complete imprinting of the channel.

description: Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is an important topic in the debate on policies to mitigate climate change. This is the first study to test and compare the environmental impact of different REDD+ payment schemes in the field, and provide some insights on the effectiveness of different policies with respect to the permanence of forest-based emission reductions. This study implements a stated preference experiment of time allocation in the unique setting of the Kasigau Corridor REDD+ Project in Kenya, where charcoaling is a major source of forest degradation. The impact on time allocation is analyzed under the presumption that a hypothetical agricultural policy or an eco-charcoaling policy was introduced. We find that a policy that indexes eco-charcoal payments to charcoalers’ opportunity costs is the most effective policy in providing permanence in REDD+: it lowers the amount of labor allocated to charcoaling even at high charcoal prices.

description: It has recently been argued that bubble nucleation in ekpyrotic and cyclic cosmological scenarios can lead to unacceptable inhomogeneities unless certain constraints are satisfied. In this paper we show that this is not the case. We find that bubble nucleation is completely negligible in realistic models.

description: This paper presents an application of multiple criteria analysis (MCA) to evaluate alternative strategies for managing the Lower Murray Reclaimed Irrigation Areas (LMRIA). The LMRIA region is located along the Murray River in South Australia, between Mannum and Wellington. It is estimated to contain around 170 dairy farms and provides around 200 jobs. Irrigation practices in LMRIA have created significant problems of River Murray water quality. A primary problem is the high levels of faecal contaminants entering the river through dairy effluent. Evaluation of management options using MCA allowed explicit incorporation of non-monetary criteria into the decision making process in a transparent manner. A panel of 10 persons with community and government backgrounds guided the MCA process by choosing and weighting the criteria. The MCA produced a different ranking of alternatives to a benefit cost analysis, highlighting the impact of incorporating non-monetary decision criteria.

description: In trapped-ion quantum information processing, interactions between spins (qubits) are mediated by collective modes of motion of an ion crystal. While there are many different experimental strategies to design such interactions, they all face both technical and fundamental limitations to the achievable coherent interaction strength. In general, obtaining strong interactions and fast gates is an ongoing challenge. Here, we extend previous work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 030501 (2019)] and present a general strategy for enhancing the interaction strengths in trapped-ion systems via parametric amplification of the ions' motion. Specifically, we propose a stroboscopic protocol using alternating applications of parametric amplification and spin-motion coupling. In comparison with the previous work, we show that the current protocol can lead to larger enhancements in the coherent interaction that increase exponentially with the gate time.

Assessing the Accuracy of the Jastrow Antisymmetrized Geminal Power in the H4 Model System

description: We report a quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) study, on a very simple but nevertheless very instructive model system of four hydrogen atoms, recently proposed in Ref. 1. We find that the Jastrow correlated Antisymmetrized Geminal Power (JAGP) is able to recover most of the correlation energy even when the geometry is symmetric and the hydrogens lie on the edges of a perfect square. Under such conditions the diradical character of the molecule ground state prevents a single determinant ansatz to achieve an acceptable accuracy, whereas the JAGP performs very well for all geometries. Remarkably, this is obtained with a similar computational effort. Moreover we find that the Jastrow Factor is fundamental in promoting the correct resonances among several configurations in the JAGP, that cannot show up in the pure Antisymmetrized Geminal Power (AGP). We also show the extremely fast convergence of this approach in the extension of the basis set. Remarkably only the simultaneous optimization of the Jastrow and the AGP part of our variational ansatz is able to recover an almost perfect nodal surface, yielding therefore state of the art energies, almost converged in the complete basis set limit (CBS), when the so called Diffusion Monte Carlo is applied.

description: Based on a unique farm survey, this article intends to shed new light on the intriguing relationship between administrative land reallocations and the development of land rental markets in China. We find that the two alternative mechanisms of allocating arable land tend to be substitutes where land is reallocated “partially” only among households affected by demographic change (PLR). Where village-wide or “full-scale” reallocations (FSLR) are conducted among all households, however, land rental market transactions have increased in response to the enlarging mismatch in labor-land ratios across households; transactions that would not have occurred otherwise. While inefficient in the short-run, FSLR potentially facilitates the development of land rental markets as it unwittingly brings together parties with a mere arms-length relationship (e.g., non-relatives) to contract with each other, in light of the finding that households affected by PLR tend to lease land primarily to/from their own relatives or through the village authorities.
