description: Results for all elastic electroweak nucleon form factors are presented for the chiral constituent quark model based on Goldstone-boson-exchange dynamics. The calculations are performed in a covariant framework using the point-form approach to relativistic quantum mechanics. The direct predictions of the model yield a remarkably consistent picture of the electroweak nucleon structure.

description: Big polygon spaces are compact orientable manifolds with a torus action whose equivariant cohomology can be torsion-free or reflexive without being free as a module over $H^*(BT)$. We determine the exact syzygy order of the equivariant cohomology of a big polygon space in terms of the length vector defining it. The proof uses a refined characterization of syzygies in terms of certain linearly independent elements in $H^2(BT)$ adapted to the isotropy groups occurring in a given $T$-space.

description: We use sub-national data to examine the relationship between temperature and growth within the US and the European Union. Different from previous studies based on the country-level data, we find that the optimal temperature is much lower. Because most of production takes place in regions with temperatures above the optimal temperature, even modest temperature increases (e.g., 1 °C warming) have statistically and economically significant (negative) impact on the GDP growth of the US and the European Union. Our results suggest more proactive climate policy.

We describe a relation of between the cohomology of this loop space and the set of finite type invariants for the pure braid group with n strands. Based on this we give expressions of certain link invariants as integrals over cycles of the above loop space.

description: This paper identifies the effect of aspirations on the adoption of agricultural innovations in the context of rural Ethiopia. While most studies on agricultural innovations have focused on identifying observable and resource-related deprivations or ‘external’ constraints, a related stream of literature suggests that ‘internal’ constraints, such as the lack of aspirations, could reinforce external constraints and lead to self-sustaining poverty traps. Since both aspirations and the adoption of innovations are forward-looking, they are likely to be intimately linked. Aspirations are motivators that can enhance innovations or their adoption not only in their own right but also through their determinants, including self-efficacy, locus of control and other internal traits that may be unobserved. This implies that aspirations may affect innovations through multiple channels and hence may be endogenous. On the other hand, aspirations are also affected by a person’s level of achievement, implying that aspirations and innovations are simultaneously determined. To identify the effect of aspirations on the adoption of agricultural innovations, we conducted both plot-level and household-level analysis using purposely collected data from households in rural Ethiopia. Using econometric strategies that account for the endogenous nature of aspirations, we found that a narrow or a very wide gap between aspirations and achievement in a farming household is strongly associated with low levels of innovativeness and low adoption rate of innovation products such as chemical fertilizers.

description: A moderately strong vector repulsion between quarks in dense quark matter is needed to explain how a quark core can support neutron stars heavier than two solar masses. We study this repulsion, parametrized by a four-fermion interaction with coupling g_V, in terms of non-perturbative gluon exchange in QCD in the Landau gauge. Matching the energy of quark matter, g_V n_q^2 (where n_q is the number density of quarks) with the quark exchange energy calculated in QCD with a gluon propagator parametrized by a finite gluon mass m_g and a frozen coupling alpha_s, at moderate quark densities, we find that gluon masses m_g in the range 200 - 600 MeV and alpha_s = 2 - 4 lead to a g_V consistent with neutron star phenomenology. Estimating the effects of quark masses and a color-flavor-locked (CFL) pairing gap, we find that g_V can be well approximated by a flavor-symmetric, decreasing function of density. We briefly discuss similar matchings for the isovector repulsion and for the pairing attraction.

description: In this paper initial experiments towards constructing simple quantum gates in a solid state material are presented. Instead of using specially tailored materials, the aim is to select a subset of randomly distributed ions in the material, which have the interaction necessary to control each other and therefore can be used to do quantum logic operations. The experimental results demonstrate that part of an inhomogeneously broadened absorption line can be selected as a qubit and that a subset of ions in the material can control the resonance frequency of other ions. This opens the way for the construction of quantum gates in rare-earth-ion doped crystals.

description: The electronic anisotropy in MgB2, is still a not completely clear topic; high quality c-oriented films are suitable systems to investigate this property. In this work we present our results on MgB2 superconducting thin films grown on MgO and sapphire substrates. The films are deposited in high vacuum, at room temperature, by Laser Ablation, starting from two different targets: pure Boron and stoichiometric MgB2. In both cases, to obtain and crystallize the superconducting phase, an ex-situ annealing in magnesium vapor is needed. The films were characterized by Synchrotron radiation diffraction measurements; the films turned out to be strongly c-oriented, with the c-axis perpendicular to the film surface and an influence of the substrate on crystallographic parameters is observed. Resisivity measurements with the magnetic field perpendicular and parallel directions to the film surface evidenced an anisotropic upper critical field behavior. The Hc2 ratios (h) resulted in the range 1.2-1.8; this difference will be discussed also in comparison with the literature data.

description: Productivity of rangelands in Kenya is affected by increasing crop farming especially in more fertile range areas. Among the key factors driving the encroachment of crops on rangelands are the changing opportunities brought about by markets. We hypothesize that the existing market inefficiencies characterizing livestock markets, especially the price disincentives that livestock producers face, are major risks rangelands face. To analyze the effect of livestock market conditions on rangeland management, we draw on household survey and economic modeling tools. We find that traders’ rent seeking behavior and high transport costs act as disincentives to livestock producers’ participation in livestock markets and influence their decisions in seeking alternative rangeland uses to sustain livelihoods. However, improved livestock market access enhances livestock producers’ livelihoods and the stewardship of the ecosystems thus reducing pastoralists’ vulnerability to ecological climate variability associated with rangelands.

Forgetting the knot (by which we mean setting diagrams with legs to zero) specialises Θ(M,K) to λ(M), Casson's invariant. This note describes an extension of Casson's surgery formula for his invariant to Θ(M,K). To be precise, we describe the effect on Θ(M,K) of a surgery on a knot which together with K forms a boundary link in M. Whilst the presented formula does not characterise Θ(M,K), it does allow some insight into the underlying topology.

description: From fake news to innovative technologies, many contagions spread via a process of social reinforcement, where multiple exposures are distinct from prolonged exposure to a single source. Contrarily, biological agents such as Ebola or measles are typically thought to spread as simple contagions. Here, we demonstrate that interacting simple contagions are indistinguishable from complex contagions. In the social context, our results highlight the challenge of identifying and quantifying mechanisms, such as social reinforcement, in a world where an innumerable amount of ideas, memes and behaviors interact. In the biological context, this parallel allows the use of complex contagions to effectively quantify the non-trivial interactions of infectious diseases.

description: For any quantum algorithm operating on pure states we prove that the presence of multi-partite entanglement, with a number of parties that increases unboundedly with input size, is necessary if the quantum algorithm is to offer an exponential speed-up over classical computation. Furthermore we prove that the algorithm can be classically efficiently simulated to within a prescribed tolerance ηeven if a suitably small amount of global entanglement (depending on η) is present. We explicitly identify the occurrence of increasing multi-partite entanglement in Shor's algorithm. Our results do not apply to quantum algorithms operating on mixed states in general and we discuss the suggestion that an exponential computational speed-up might be possible with mixed states in the total absence of entanglement. Finally, despite the essential role of entanglement for pure state algorithms, we argue that it is nevertheless misleading to view entanglement as a key resource for quantum computational power.

description: Assuming 3 neutrino mixing and massive Majorana neutrinos, we analyze the implications of the results of the solar neutrino experiments, including the latest SNO data, which favor the LMA MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem with \tan^2 θ_sol < 1, for the predictions of the effective Majorana mass || in neutrinoless double beta decay. For \cos (2 θ_sol) \geq 0.26, which follows from the analysis of the new solar neutrino data, we find significant lower limits on || in the cases of quasi-degenerate and inverted hierarchy neutrino mass spectrum, || \geq 0.035 eV and || \geq 8.5 10^-3 eV, respectively. If the spectrum is hierarchical the upper limit holds || \leq 8.2 10^-3 eV. Correspondingly, not only a measured value of || \neq 0, but even an experimental upper limit on || of the order of few 10^-2 eV can provide information on the type of the neutrino mass spectrum; it can provide also a significant upper limit on the mass of the lightest neutrino m1. A measured value of || \geq 0.2 eV, combined with data on neutrino masses from the tritium beta-decay experiment KATRIN might allow to establish whether the CP-symmetry is violated in the lepton sector.

title: Sequential Monte Carlo methods in phylogenetics and active subspaces
Creators: name: Ripoli, Leonardo
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: The first part of my research concentrates on Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods for
phylogenetics. The aim of the research was to deliver methods that can be used in the
inference of the spread of diseases, leveraging a widely used software platform, and enable
researchers to easily access, validate and compare. We show the results obtained from developing and integrating an adaptive SMC algorithm in Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis by
Sampling Trees version 2 (commonly known as BEAST2), a well-established software platform among researchers. Our adaptive SMC algorithm embedded in BEAST2 has comparable
performances to the native Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Our work can be seen as a first step, and future tuning is expected. It is
foreseen that an integration of the adaptive SMC package into BEAST2 will be done by the
owners of the platform, allowing researchers to use SMC instead of MCMC, following testing
and tuning by the platforms developers.
The focus of the second part is Active Subspaces (AS). With AS we try to identify a
smaller subspace informed by the data and to concentrate the algorithmic effort on this more
informative part, primarily to address the curse of dimensionality affecting many Monte Carlo
(MC) methods. Existing AS algorithms were mostly biased and targeting distributions only
close by some measure to the posterior, leaving users to do substantial post-validation. We
built on the foundations of an existing pseudo-marginal-based Active Subspace algorithm and
developed non-biased AS algorithms that in stationarity target the correct posterior, using
the structure provided by AS within a Gibbs-style MCMC, and within Particle Marginal
Metropolis Hastings (PMMH), Metropolis within Particle Gibbs (MwPG), SMC-squared
(SMC2
). We have run experiments that show in specific settings to outperform existing
methods and provide explanations on the optimal running conditions for each algorithm.
Our work sheds light on the practical applications of Active Subspaces, expanding the range
of AS methods available to researchers and providing clearer guidance on which approaches
are most effective in specific scenarios.

description: The application of relativistic constituent quark models to the evaluation of the electromagnetic properties of the nucleon and its resonances is addressed. The role of the pair creation process in the Feynmann triangle diagram is discussed and the importance both of choosing the light-front formalism and of using a Breit frame where the plus component of the four-momentum transfer is vanishing, is stressed. The nucleon elastic form factors are calculated free of spurious effects related to the loss of rotational covariance. The effect of a finite constituent size is considered and the parameters describing the constituent form factors are fixed using only the nucleon data up to Q**2 ~ 1 (GeV/c)**2; a constituent charge radius of ~ 0.45 fm is obtained in this way. Above Q**2 ~ 1 (GeV/c)**2 our parameter-free predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data, showing that soft physics may be dominant up to Q**2 ~ 10 (GeV/c)**2. Our new results for the longitudinal and transverse helicity amplitudes of the N - P_{11}(1440) transition are presented.

description: Cowpeas are a critical crop for food and income security for millions of people in Africa. Insect pests, however, are a major production constraint causing over 50% yield losses. Farmers indiscriminately apply expensive synthetic pesticides in spite of attendant health and environmental risks. Recognizing that current chemical control methods are costly and unsustainable for resource-poor farmers, an innovative integrated pest management strategy based on biocontrol agents is being explored for West Africa. Therefore, the objective of this study was to predict potential adoption of the innovative biocontrol strategy by determining important factors that explain farmers’ pest control decisions. To this end, we designed a choice experiment survey for 505 cowpea farmers in Benin. A conditional logit model was estimated. Survey findings indicate that farmers are aware of health hazards but persistently apply chemical pesticides out of necessity. Also, model results reveal that important factors driving pest control decisions include costs, labor, and potential yield losses. Finally, we show that social norms could be leveraged to enhance adoption of the biocontrol method. These findings have promising implications for on-going efforts to develop and disseminate sustainable biocontrol strategies that are eco-friendly and cost effective for smallholder farmers.

(Fig. 336)
 Description. Forewings 1.9 times longer than wide, length in male about 3.2 mm. Colour stramineous, a mark at junction of frons and clypeus, sides of thorax, middle and hind femora, and abdomen, except genitalia, orange; a small red mark above eyes; apex of scutellum with a bright red mark; fore legs faintly tinted with red. Forewings uniformly infuscated, but near apical margin slightly lighter; a larger, bright red mark in first costal cell, adjoining costal margin; veins bright red, but claval veins, Cu, apices of Sc, R, and M, as well as claval and apical margins stramineous; base of Sc+R without dark spots. Hindwings infuscated, veins red. In profile junction of vertex and face slightly angulated; rostrum reaching hind coxae. Forewings with Sc+R fork just before middle of wing; basal median cell broad, about 2x wider than basal cell between Sc+R and M; a triangle at base of Ms1. Male genitalia with pygofer narrow. Genital styles with proximal dorsal process short and slender, distal dorsal process long. Apical part of aedeagus short and broad, with a dorsal impression and a small, membranous, terminal lobe.
 Etymology. The species name is a Latin adjective (pullus, -a, -um = dark coloured).
 Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 3.2 mm), INDONESIA: PAPUA; labels: 1) NEW GUINEA: NETH./ Bodem, 100m, 11 km SE of Oerberfaren / July 7–17, 1959 2) T. C. Maa / Collector / BISHOP (BPBM). Paratype: INDONESIA: PAPUA: Cyclops Mts., Sabron, Camp I: 1,200 ft (400 m), 22. V.1936, 1 ♂ (fw. 3.2), L.E. Cheesman (BMNH).
 Distribution. Island of New Guinea.
 Diagnosis. Saccharodite pulla shows similarities to the Saccharodite plurima species group (e.g. to Sa. kagoshimana (Matsumura) or Sa. imperiali Zelazny). However, it stands apart by the wide basal cell between M and Sc+R and by the small and simple male aedeagus. It is further characterized by the infuscated forewings, the red mark in the first costal cell and the red forewing veins, as well as by the red mark on the scutellum tip.

Fermi arcs and DC transport in nanowires of Dirac and Weyl semimetals

description: The transport properties and electron states in cylinder nanowires of Dirac and Weyl semimetals are studied paying special attention to the structure and properties of the surface Fermi arcs. The latter make the electric charge and current density distributions in nanowires strongly nonuniform as the majority of the charge density is accumulated at the surface. It is found that a Weyl semimetal wire also supports a magnetization current localized mainly at the surface because of the Fermi arcs contribution. By using the Kubo linear response approach, the direct current (DC) conductivity is calculated and it is found that its spatial profile is nontrivial. By explicitly separating the contributions of the surface and bulk states, it is shown that when the electric chemical potential and/or the radius of the wire is small, the electron transport is determined primarily by the Fermi arcs and the electrical conductivity is much higher at the surface than in the bulk. Due to the rise of the surface-bulk transition rate, the relative contribution of the surface states to the total conductivity gradually diminishes as the chemical potential increases. In addition, the DC conductivity at the surface demonstrates noticeable peaks when the Fermi level crosses energies of the surface states.

description: Recently, in the ref. Physica A \bfm{296} 405 (2001), a new one parameter deformation for the exponential function $\exp_{_{\{{\scriptstyle κ}\}}}(x)= (\sqrt{1+κ^2x^2}+κx)^{1/κ}; \exp_{_{\{{\scriptstyle 0}\}}}(x)=\exp (x)$, which presents a power law asymptotic behaviour, has been proposed. The statistical distribution $f=Z^{-1}\exp_{_{\{{\scriptstyle κ}\}}}[-β(E-μ)]$, has been obtained both as stable stationary state of a proper non linear kinetics and as the state which maximizes a new entropic form. In the present contribution, starting from the $κ$-algebra and after introducing the $κ$-analysis, we obtain the $κ$-exponential $\exp_{_{\{{\scriptstyle κ}\}}}(x)$ as the eigenstate of the $κ$-derivative and study its main mathematical properties.

description: We investigate the long-term financial incentives of corporate environmental responsibility by examining whether an environmentally responsible firm benefits from a lower cost of equity capital, focusing on a particular channel: sustainable and responsible investing (SRI). Using treatment effect models, we test whether investments from SRI mutual funds with environmental screening criteria impact firm cost of equity capital. We find that accounting for interaction between firm and non-shareholder stakeholders, and potential agency costs associated with certain environmentally responsible activities of the firm, SRI investing may facilitate the alignment of firm environmental and financial goals.

description: This study exams consumers’ Willingness-to-Pay (WTP) for eco-labeled fresh produce under the influence of emotion. Previous literature has indicated a significant correlation between emotion and consumer final purchase decisions. However, few researchers conducted the study within the context of eco-labeled products. In this paper, about 2,500 participants were asked to evaluate four different types of eco-labeled fresh strawberries in terms of WTP. Respondents’ emotion and changes in emotion after a stimulus were measured. Contingent valuation method was used to estimate consumers’ WTP. Multivariate tobit model and seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) were used to estimate the effect of emotion on consumers’ WTP for eco-labeled products. Results show that emotion has a significant positive effect on consumers’ WTP for GMO-free, organic and natural products. Meanwhile, it also has a significant positive impact on the WTP premium for these three products and locally produced products as well, using conventional counterpart as the base.
QCD-corrected spin analysing power of jets in decays of polarized top quarks

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present results for the differential distributions of jets from non-leptonic decays of polarized top quarks within the Standard Model, including QCD radiative corrections. Our work extends existing results which are only available for semileptonic top quark decays at the parton level. For $t(\uparrow)$ -> b-jet + 2 light jets we compute in particular the QCD-corrected top-spin analysing power of the b-quark jet and the least energetic light jet. The dependence of the results on the choice of the jet recombination scheme is found to be small. In addition we compute the spin analysing power of the thrust axis. Our results constitute a so far missing ingredient to analyse top quark production and subsequent non-leptonic decay at next-to-leading order in alpha_s, keeping the full information on the top quark polarization.

description: We study the feasibility of detecting noncommutative (NC) QED through neutral Higgs boson (H) pair production at linear colliders (LC). This is based on the assumption that H interacts directly with photon in NCQED as suggested by symmetry considerations and strongly hinted by our previous study on π^0-photon interactions. We find the following striking features as compared to the standard model (SM) result: (1) generally larger cross sections for an NC scale of order 1 TeV; (2) completely different dependence on initial beam polarizations; (3) distinct distributions in the polar and azimuthal angles; and (4) day-night asymmetry due to the Earth's rotation. These will help to separate NC signals from those in the SM or other new physics at LC. We emphasize the importance of treating properly the Lorentz noninvariance problem and show how the impact of the Earth's rotation can be used as an advantage for our purpose of searching for NC signals.
