description: With the production and cropping efficiency gains from adoption of Genetically Modified (GM) corn, the number of acres planted has increased steadily over the past decade. Also, the adoption of GM crops in general has an impact on the labor allocation decisions of farm operators. Using a large sample of Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) data, we estimate a two-stage left-censored simultaneous Tobit model to estimate the impact of adoption of GM corn on the off-farm labor supply of farm operators. Results indicate that the adoption of GM corn has had a negative and significant impact on the off-farm labor supply.

Non-equilibrium dynamics across the BEC-BCS crossover

description: We investigate the quench dynamics of strongly coupled superconductors within the time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation from the BCS to the BEC regime and evaluate the out-of-equilibrium transient spectral density and optical conductivity relevant for pump probe experiments. Fourier transformation of the order parameter dynamics reveals a frequency $Ω_J$ which, as in the BCS case, is controlled by the spectral gap. However, we find a crossover from the BCS dynamics to a new strong coupling regime where a characteristic frequency $Ω_U$, associated to double occupancy fluctuations controls the order parameter dynamics. The change of regime occurs close to a dynamical phase transition. Both, $Ω_J$ and $Ω_U$ give rise to a complex structure of self-driven slow Rabi oscillations which are visible in the non-equilibrium optical conductivity where also side bands appear due to the modulation of the double occupancy by superconducting amplitude oscillations. Analogous results apply to CDW and SDW systems.

description: (abridged) Afterglow light curves are constructed analytically for realistic gamma-ray burst remnants decelerating in either a homogeneous interstellar medium or a stellar wind environment, taking into account the radiative loss of the blast wave, which affects the temporal behaviors significantly. Inverse Compton scattering is considered. The inverse Compton effect prolongs the fast-cooling phase markedly, during which the relativistic shock is semi-radiative and the radiation efficiency is approximately constant. It is further shown that the shock is still semi-radiative for quite a long time after it transits into the slow-cooling phase. The temporal decaying index of the X-ray afterglow light curve in this semi-radiative phase is more consistent with the observed $ \sim 1.3$ than the commonly used adiabatic one. To manifest as a bump or even dominant in the X-ray afterglows during the relativistic stage, it is required that the density should be larger than about 1-10 cm$^{-3}$ in the interstellar medium case, or the wind parameter $A_{\ast}$ should be larger than unity in the stellar wind case.

Moduli Stabilisation and the Holographic Swampland

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We investigate whether Swampland constraints on the low-energy dynamics of weakly coupled, moduli-stabilised string vacua in AdS can be related to inconsistencies of their putative holographic duals or, more generally, recast in terms of CFT data. We find that various swampland consistency constraints are equivalent to a negativity condition on the sign of certain mixed anomalous dimensions. This condition is similar to well-established CFT positivity bounds arising from causality and unitarity, but not known to hold in general. The studied scenarios include LVS, KKLT, and both perturbative and racetrack stabilisation. Interestingly, the LVS vacuum (with $Δ_φ = 8.038$) also appears to live very close to a critical value ($Δ_φ = 8$) where the anomalous dimensions change sign. We finally point out an intriguing connection to the Swampland Distance Conjecture, both in its original and refined versions.

Characterizing Astrophysical Binary Neutron Stars with Gravitational Waves

description: Merging binary neutron stars are thought to be formed predominantly via isolated binary evolution. In this standard formation scenario, the first-born neutron star goes through a recycling process and might be rapidly spinning during the final inspiral, whereas the second-born star is expected to have effectively zero spin at merger. Based on this feature, we propose a new framework for the astrophysical characterization of binary neutron stars observed from their gravitational wave emission. We further propose a prior for the dimensionless spins of recycled neutron stars, given by a gamma distribution with a shape parameter of 2 and a scale parameter of 0.012, extrapolated from radio pulsar observations of Galactic binary neutron stars. Interpreting GW170817 and GW190425 in the context of the standard formation scenario and adopting the gamma-distribution prior, we find positive support (with a Bayes factor of 6, over the nonspinning hypothesis) for a spinning recycled neutron star in GW190425, whereas the spin of the recycled neutron star in GW170817 is small and consistent with our prior. We measure the masses of the recycled (slow) neutron stars in GW170817 and GW190425 to be $1.34_{-0.09}^{+0.12}$ $(1.38_{-0.11}^{+0.11})$ $M_{\odot}$ and $1.64_{-0.11}^{+0.13}$ $(1.66_{-0.12}^{+0.12})$ $M_{\odot}$, with $68\%$ credibility, respectively. We discuss implications for the astrophysical origins of these two events and outline future prospects of studying binary neutron stars using our framework.

description: Strictly adhering to the standard supersymmetric seesaw mechanism, we present a neutrino mass model which allows successful standard thermal leptogenesis compatible with gravitino cosmology. At least some of the neutrino Yukawa couplings must be much larger than the naive estimates following from the seesaw formula. This leads to large BR(mu->e gamma), detectable in the next round of experiments. Ratios of mu->e gamma, tau->e gamma and tau->mu gamma branching ratios are predicted in terms of the measurable neutrino mass matrix.

description: Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) has gathered growing attention as a solution to the small scale problems of the collisionless cold dark matter (DM). We investigate the SIDM using stellar kinematics of 23 ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies with the phenomenological SIDM halo model. The UFDs are DM-dominated and have less active star formation history. Accordingly, they are the ideal objects to test the SIDM, as their halo profiles are least affected by the baryonic feedback processes. We found no UFDs favor non-zero self-interaction and some provide stringent constraints within the simple SIDM modeling. Our result challenges the simple modeling of the SIDM, which urges further investigation of the subhalo dynamical evolution of the SIDM.

description: Superfluidity in an ultracold Fermi gas is usually associated with either a negative scattering length, or the presence of a two-body bound state. We show that none of these ingredients is necessary to achieve superfluidity. Using a narrow Feshbach resonance with strong repulsive background interactions, the effective interactions can be repulsive for small energies and attractive for energies around the Fermi energy, similar to the effective interactions between electrons in a metallic superconductor. This can result in BCS-type superfluidity while the scattering length is positive.

description: We use KiDS weak lensing data to measure variations in mean halo mass as a function of several key galaxy properties (namely: stellar colour, specific star formation rate, Sersic index, and effective radius) for a volume-limited sample of GAMA galaxies in a narrow stellar mass range ($M_* \sim 2$--$5 \times 10^{10}$ Msol). This mass range is particularly interesting, inasmuch as it is where bimodalities in galaxy properties are most pronounced, and near to the break in both the galaxy stellar mass function and the stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR). In this narrow mass range, we find that both size and Sersic index are better predictors of halo mass than either colour or SSFR, with the data showing a slight preference for Sersic index. In other words, we find that mean halo mass is more tightly correlated with galaxy structure than either past star formation history or current star formation rate. Our results lead to an approximate lower bound on the dispersion in halo masses among $\log M_* \approx {10.5}$ galaxies: we find that the dispersion is $\gtrsim 0.3$ dex. This would imply either that offsets from the mean SHMR are closely coupled to size/structure, or that the dispersion in the SHMR is larger than past results have suggested. Our results thus provide new empirical constraints on the relationship between stellar and halo mass assembly at this particularly interesting mass range.

We analyze the problem within the formalism of cascaded open quantum systems. Our conclusions agree with the Itano proposal. We show that the decoherence, nevertheless, may be divided into two parts--that due to forwards scattering and to scattering out of the laser mode. Previous authors attribute the former to the quantum nature of the laser field.

description: The prospect of immigration policy reform has renewed growers’ concerns of serious labor shortages and cost increases given that a large portion of the workforce is unauthorized for U.S. employment. This concern of labor shortages and cost increases is more serious for specialty crop agriculture which is highly labor intensive. Specialty crop growers may address the problem in various ways, but likely options include adoption of mechanical harvesting. In the current paper we study the citrus industry case and estimate the value for two operational modes (hand and mechanical harvesting) using the enterprise discounted cash flow (DCF) approach. Further we implement a simulation to forecast how the value for each operational mode would change with a change in cost scenario.

description: The age and chemical characteristics of the Galactic bulge link to the formation and evolutionary history of the Galaxy. Data-driven methods and large surveys enable stellar ages and precision chemical abundances to be determined for vast regions of the Milky Way, including the bulge. Here, we use the data-driven approach of The Cannon, to infer the ages and abundances for 125,367 stars in the Milky Way, using spectra from Apache Point Observatory Galaxy Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) DR14. We examine the ages and metallicities of 1654 bulge stars within $R_{\text{GAL}}<3.5$ kpc. We focus on fields with $b<12^\circ$, and out to longitudes of $l<15^\circ$. We see that stars in the bulge are about twice as old ($τ=8$ Gyrs), on average, compared to those in the solar neighborhood ($τ=4$ Gyrs), with a larger dispersion in [Fe/H] ($\approx0.38$ compared to 0.23 dex). This age gradient comes primarily from the low-$α$ stars. Looking along the Galactic plane, the very central field in the bulge shows by far the largest dispersion in [Fe/H] ($σ_{[Fe/H]}\approx0.4$ dex) and line of sight velocity ($σ_{vr}\approx90$ km/s), and simultaneously the smallest dispersion in age. Moving out in longitude, the stars become kinematically colder and less dispersed in [Fe/H], but show a much broader range of ages. We see a signature of the X-shape within the bulge at a latitude of $b=8^\circ$, but not at $b=12^\circ$. Future APOGEE and other survey data, with larger sampling, affords the opportunity to extend our approach and study in more detail, to place stronger constraints on models of the Milky Way.

description: Economists, ecologists, private industries and government decision-makers have long been interested in the relationships between economic growth and environmental quality. These relationships are often the subject of intense public policy debates such as the current debate surrounding global climate change issues. From an ecological or environmental perspective, the argument is often made that economic growth is bad for the environment. But, what story do the data tell? In order to address the question, a estimable model was used to analyze the effects between gross domestic product (GDP) and environmental indications for air pollution in over 100 metropolitan statistical areas in the United States from 2001-2005. The analysis is then expanded to examine the estimable relationship at the state level. The air pollution indicators include ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter. The results are mixed results. This study finds a statistically significant U-shaped relationship for some of the pollutants; however, the evidence is pretty weak with the exception of ground level ozone. This study does not find evidence to support the traditional EKC inverse U-shaped relationship. These results are compared and contrasted to previous studies providing insight into unresolved theoretical and empirical estimation issues and future research needs.

description: Optical data is encoded with information on the microscopic interaction between charge carriers. For an electron-phonon system, the Eliashberg equations apply and a Kubo formula can be used to get the infrared conductivity. The task of extracting the electron-phonon spectral density $α^2F(ω)$ from data is rather complicated and, thus, simplified but approximate expressions for the conductivity have often been used. We test the accuracy of such simplifications and also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various numerical methods needed in the inversion process. Normal and superconducting state are considered as well as boson exchange mechanisms which might be applicable to the High-$T_c$ oxides.

description: Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) is a powerful and widely used technique for nonlinear dynamic process control under constraints. In NMPC, the state and control weights of the corresponding state and control costs are commonly selected based on human-expert knowledge, which usually reflects the acceptable stability in practice. Although broadly used, this approach might not be optimal for the execution of a trajectory with the lowest positional error and sufficiently "smooth" changes in the predicted controls. Furthermore, NMPC with an online weight update strategy for fast, agile, and precise unmanned aerial vehicle navigation, has not been studied extensively. To this end, we propose a novel control problem formulation that allows online updates of the state and control weights. As a solution, we present an algorithm that consists of two alternating stages: (i) state and command variable prediction and (ii) weights update. We present a numerical evaluation with a comparison and analysis of different trade-offs for the problem of quadrotor navigation. Our computer simulation results show improvements of up to 70% in the accuracy of the executed trajectory compared to the standard solution of NMPC with fixed weights.

description: Recent increases in commodity prices have led to calls for the regulation of speculators. These calls have come from many reputable quarters including leading agricultural and food policy institutions such as International Food Policy Research Institute as well as different members of the U.S. Congress. They are based on an assumption that speculative activities are a primary or major source of the volatility in the markets and that controlling these activities through regulations would bring more stability to the market. The paper tests this hypothesis and assesses the contribution of speculative activities in the commodity markets over the past decade to price inflation. The paper argues that government regulatory policies to control speculation in commodity markets is a second best solution that would probably yield neutral or negative benefits to the very people the policy aims to protect.

description: Consistency of present-day lattice QCD simulations with dynamical (``sea'') staggered fermions requires that the determinant of the staggered-fermion Dirac operator, $det(D)$, be equal to $det^4(D_{rg}) det(T)$ where $D_{rg}$ is a local one-flavor lattice Dirac operator, and $T$ is a local operator containing only excitations with masses of the order of the cutoff. Using renormalization-group (RG) block transformations I show that, in the limit of infinitely many RG steps, the required decomposition exists for the free staggered operator in the ``flavor representation.'' The resulting one-flavor Dirac operator $D_{rg}$ satisfies the Ginsparg-Wilson relation in the massless case. I discuss the generalization of this result to the interacting theory.

description: The purpose of this paper is to determine the optimal allocation of reservoir water among consumptive and non-consumptive uses. A non-linear mathematical programming model is developed to optimally allocate Lake Tenkiller water among competing uses that maximize the net social benefit. A mass balance is used to determine the level and volume of water in the lake. This paper examines the effect of water management on lake resources when recreational values are and are not included as control variables in the optimization process. Results show that maintaining the lake level to the ‘normal lake level’ of 632 feet during the summer months generates more recreational benefit rather than reducing the lake level by releasing water for hydro power generation.

description: Parity-violating (PV) gravity has recently attracted interest in several aspects. One of them is the axion-graviton coupling to test the axion-dark matter model. Moreover, by extending Chern-Simons (CS) gravity to include derivatives of a scalar field up to the second order, a more general class of PV gravity theory, which we call the CNCL model, has been proposed~[M. Crisostomi {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. D, {\bf 97}, 044034 (2018)]. The model can be further extended by including even higher derivatives of the scalar field and/or higher curvature terms. In this paper, we discuss the effect of parity violation in the gravitational sector on the propagation of gravitational waves from binary coalescence by introducing a model-independent parametrization of modification. Our parametrization includes the CNCL model as well as CS gravity. The effect of parity violation on the gravitational waveform is maximum when the source binary orientation to our line of sight is edge-on, while the modified waveform reduces to the parity-symmetric one when the source is face-on. We perform a search for the signature of such modification by using the LIGO/Virgo O1/O2 catalog. We find that the catalog data is consistent with general relativity and obtain constraints on parity violation in gravity for various post-Newtonian order modifications for the first time. The obtained constraint on CS gravity is consistent with the results in previous works. On the other hand, the constraint on the CNCL model that we obtain is tighter than the previous results by roughly 7 orders of magnitude.

description: Almost in all vegetation types exists species that can cause toxicity to the cattle grazing. Poisonings cause very diverse problems in the cattle being able to affect the reproduction, weight gains, and even death. These problems cause economic losses in cattle industry that is necessary to quantify but very difficult to do so. Sonora has been diagnosed with overgrazed rangelands which is pronounced in deterioration that diminishes the desirable species and increases the undesirable ones, within these are the toxic plants. There have been identified 181 species that are toxic and within these there are 59 species that cattle consumes and cause problems. Based in this, the present study was planned with the purpose of trying to estimate the economic impact that toxic plants cause on cattle productivity in Sonora. Diverse sources of information were used for the elaboration of analysis and calculations that could come near to the quantification of the economic effects. The methodology described by Nielsen . (1990) was used for the estimation of these losses. The results show that a conservative estimation of the economic effect of these plants on the Sonoran rangelands can represent a loss of almost 90 million pesos annually.
l W nu production at CLIC: a window to TeV scale non-decoupled neutrinos

description: We discuss single heavy neutrino production e+ e- -> N nu -> l W nu, l = e, mu, tau, at a future high energy collider like CLIC, with a centre of mass energy of 3 TeV. This process could allow to detect heavy neutrinos with masses of 1-2 TeV if their coupling to the electron V_eN is in the range 0.004-0.01. We study the dependence of the limits on the heavy neutrino mass and emphasise the crucial role of lepton flavour in the discovery of a positive signal at CLIC energy. We present strategies to determine heavy neutrino properties once they are discovered, namely their Dirac or Majorana character and the size and chirality of their charged current couplings. Conversely, if no signal is found, the bound V_eN < 0.002-0.006 would be set for masses of 1-2 TeV, improving the present limit up to a factor of 30. We also extend previous work examining in detail the flavour and mass dependence of the corresponding limits at ILC, as well as the determination of heavy neutrino properties if they are discovered at this collider.

The prospective analysis milk and cheese quality that appears, comprises of a project financed by the Foundation Hidalgo Produce and operated by the National Institute Forestry, Agricultural and Livestock Research. The agri-food chain milk analysis, two products were selected to be put under the analysis, vision and evaluation of a panelists experts group who trought Delphi type questionnaire, were shaping their qualifications. To work decision with milk and cheese products was in regard they are most important by volume in that they are consumed and by the economic value that generate in the agri-food chain milk. It was asked the experts who evaluated the present and future situation to milk and cheese quality to 20 relevant variables to milk case and 15 variables to cheese case, under a 2020 tendencial scene. The panelists qualifications, using like statistical measurement the medium one and in a scale from the 1 to the 10, was for the great majority of the variables 9 or 10, that means very elevated 9 and extremely elevated 10; which takes to think that in the future, the quality milk and cheese subject will be of extreme importance in the research processes that make the institutions dedicated to this activity. From the action strategies proposals were derived such as : fulfillment norms by means of a program of stimuli and punishments by quality; establishment promotion of good handling practices; diffusion to consumption quality product; actors training of all the chain links and technologies transference.

description: We show that the dependence of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) on the molecular orientation can be understood within a theoretical treatment that does not involve the strong field of the laser. The results for H_2 show excellent agreement with time-dependent strong field calculations for model molecules, and this motivates a prediction for the orientation dependence of HHG from the N_2 3s_g valence orbital. For both molecules, we find that the polarization of recombination photons is influenced by the molecular orientation. The variations are particularly pronounced for the N_2 valence orbital, which can be explained by the presence of atomic p-orbitals.

Nonlinear 2D Spin Susceptibility in a Finite Magnetic Field: Spin-Polarization Dependence

description: By theoretically calculating the interacting spin susceptibility of a two-dimensional electron system in the presence of finite spin polarization, we show that the extensively employed technique of measuring the 2D spin susceptibility by linear extrapolation to a zero field from the finite-field experimental data is theoretically unjustified due to the strong nonlinear magnetic field dependence of the interacting susceptibility. Our work compellingly establishes that much of the prevailing interpretation of the 2D susceptibility measurements is incorrect, and, in general, the 2D interacting susceptibility cannot be extracted from the critical magnetic field for full spin polarization, as is routinely done experimentally.
