description: Quantum coherences are paramount resources for applications, such as quantum-enhanced light-harvesting or quantum computing, which are fragile against environmental noise. We here derive generalized quantum master equations using perturbation theory in order to describe the effective ensemble-averaged time-evolution of finite-size quantum systems subject to static noise on all time scales. We then analyse the time-evolution of the coherences under energy broadening noise in a variety of systems characterized by both short and long-range interactions, by strongly correlated and fully uncorrelated noise -- a single qubit, a lattice model with on-site disorder and a potential ladder, and bosons in a double-well potential with random interaction strength -- and show that couplings can partially protect the system from the ensemble-averaging induced loss of coherence. Our work suggests that suitably tuned couplings could be employed to counteract part of the dephasing detrimental to quantum applications. Conversely, tailored noise distributions can be utilized to reach target non-equilibrium quantum states.

Production Economics

description: O segmento da agricultura familiar assume papel sócio-econômico de grande importância no agronegócio brasileiro. Seu desenvolvimento é entendido como uma das pré-condições para uma sociedade economicamente mais eficiente e socialmente mais justa. Existe uma série de fatores que afetam significativamente o desempenho dos empreendimentos rurais. Muitas dessas variáveis fogem ao controle da unidade de produção, mas outras, como a gestão da produção, estão mais diretamente vinculadas ao seu controle. Problemas relacionados à sua sustentabilidade revelam a forte deficiência na administração de estabelecimentos rurais em geral e, em particular, na produção familiar. Assim, a proposta de um curso de extensão rural, na área gerencial, atua especificamente sobre esta deficiência, articulando as diversas ferramentas gerenciais de apoio à produção familiar. Neste contexto, este trabalho busca propor uma estrutura metodológica de capacitação gerencial de agricultores familiares de forma a contribuir para a sustentabilidade econômica da agricultura familiar, bem como para a melhoria da qualidade de vida no campo.

Development of laser wakefield accelerators
Creators: name: Gruse, Jan-Niclas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: This thesis investigates theoretically and experimentally the wakefield generation, elec- tron acceleration and x-ray emission in laser driven plasma wakefield acceleration. In preparation for a multi-stage laser accelerator with multiple laser, one of the Astra-Gemini laser pulses at 100 TW was used to reflect off a plasma mirror, a 125 μm Kapton foil. Its reflectivity of up to 70% and beam quality was measured. The beam was then self-guide it through a gas cell in preparation for a staged plasma wakefield accel- erator. These were one of the first measurements at such intensities of 4 × 1017 W cm−2 where the beam was injected into a gas cell. To test the usability of this beam to drive an accelerator stage, the guiding efficiency was measured and compared to particle-in- cell simulation. The simulations modelled the propagation of multi-Gaussian low beam quality laser beams at densities 0.25−0.75 × 1018 cm−3. Self-focusing of imperfect laser beams below the critical power is reported and simulation show potential 100s MeV en- ergy increase and a strong argument for beam quality optimisation is made by showing that the potential energy could be increased even further close to 1 GeV. The same Astra-Gemini laser at 150 TW was used to accelerate a bunch of elec- trons in a single gas cell and to optimise betatron radiation. The unique properties of the betatron radiation including a high peak photon flux of 7.5 ± 2.6 × 108 ph mrad−2 and a synchrotron spectrum with critical energy of 14.6 ± 1.3 keV was used in imaging industrial samples. The obtained data was post-processed to remove source based imaging artefacts such as bremsstrahlung hits obscuring the sample. The samples included a topography XCT sample for performance validation, a pouch cell battery and composite cylinder with a kink band failure. The results took advantage of phase- contrast enhancement show-casing its advantage compared to conventional XCT ma- chines. Finally, a machine learning algorithm, based on Bayesian optimisation, was im- plemented on the 5TW Astra laser to optimise electron and x-ray properties with 1Hz repetition rate. This work prepared the diagnostics and extracted the physical quantities used for the Gaussian process regression. It was used to investigate the optimisation process itself, the correlation of parameters for the enhancement of x- ray brightness with ionisation injection, based on N2 doped He-gas. A brilliance of 4.1 ± 1.0 × 1020 ph s−1 mm−2 mrad−2 0.1%BW−1 with a critical energy of 2.7 ± 0.3 keV can be reported at such low power as of 5.6 ± 0.2 TW. Furthermore, the reported energy of the electrons also exceeds similar laser power experiments.

description: Using a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer, we apply the techniques of quantum process tomography to characterize errors and decoherence in a prototypical two-photon operation, a singlet-state filter. The quantum process tomography results indicate a large asymmetry in the process and also the required operation to correct for this asymmetry. Finally, we quantify errors and decoherence of the filtering operation after this modification.

description: Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among Ghanaian women and screening coverage is low. ACCESSING is a cross-sectional study investigating human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence via self-sampling in rural communities of the North Tongu district in Ghana. Female health-care providers (HCPs) were invited to self-collect a cervicovaginal sample with a commercial sampler in order to acquaint themselves with the sampling method. Objective: This study set out to explore female HCPs' perceptions, advocacy for, and implications of self-sampling with the aim of enhancing self-sampling acceptability in the targeted screening population. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was used, consisting of (a) a survey among 52 female HCPs working in a district hospital and (b) 10 one-to-one semi-structured interviews with purposefully sampled HCPs. Results: The quantitative analysis of the survey (n = 52) showed that, among HCPs who took the sample themselves (50/52), all found it 'Easy' or 'Very Easy' and felt 'Very Comfortable' or 'Comfortable'. 82.7% indicated that they would undertake screening more often, and 98.1% indicated they would prefer self-sampling, if cervical cancer risk is as reliably determined as by clinician-directed cytobrush sampling. All interview participants (n = 10) indicated that they appreciated the program and would recommend the screening to their patients and/or family members and neighbours. Common reasons for preferring self-sampling were less (anticipated) pain compared to speculum examination and more privacy. Conclusions: Self-sampling for cervical cancer screening is highly acceptable to female HCPs. Setting up a workplace screening program that entails the option of self-sampling could create greater awareness and positive attitudes among HCPs to educating their patients, families, and neighbours on cervical cancer risks and motivate HCPs to advocate for women's participation in screening.

description: Single-chain Monte Carlo simulations of amphiphilic diblock star copolymers were carried out in continuous space using implicit solvents. Two distinct architectures were studied: stars with the hydrophobic blocks attached to the core, and stars with the polar blocks attached to the core, with all arms being of equal length. The ratio of the lengths of the hydrophobic block to the length of the polar block was varied from 0 to 1. Stars with 3, 6, 9 or 12 arms, each of length 10, 15, 25, 50, 75 and 100 Kuhn segments were analysed. Four distinct types of conformations were observed for these systems. These, apart from studying the snapshots from the simulations, have been quantitatively characterised in terms of the mean-squared radii of gyration, mean-squared distances of monomers from the centre-of-mass, asphericity indices, static scattering form factors in the Kratky representation as well as the intra-chain monomer-monomer radial distribution functions.

description: The only known way to study quantum field theories in non-perturbative regimes is using numerical calculations regulated on discrete space-time lattices. Such computations, however, are often faced with exponential signal-to-noise challenges that render key physics studies untenable even with next generation classical computing. Here, a method is presented by which the output of small-scale quantum computations on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum era hardware can be used to accelerate larger-scale classical field theory calculations through the construction of optimized interpolating operators. The method is implemented and studied in the context of the 1+1-dimensional Schwinger model, a simple field theory which shares key features with the standard model of nuclear and particle physics.

description: Attention plays a key role in the improvement of sequence-to-sequence-based document summarization models. To obtain a powerful attention helping with reproducing the most salient information and avoiding repetitions, we augment the vanilla attention model from both local and global aspects. We propose an attention refinement unit paired with local variance loss to impose supervision on the attention model at each decoding step, and a global variance loss to optimize the attention distributions of all decoding steps from the global perspective. The performances on the CNN/Daily Mail dataset verify the effectiveness of our methods.

They are used to draw a precise magnetic field-temperature superconducting phase diagram of PrOs4Sb12 down to 350 mK. We discuss the superconducting phase diagram of PrOs4Sb12 and its possible relation with an unconventional superconducting order parameter. We give a detailed analysis of Hc2(T), which shows paramagnetic limitation (a support for even parity pairing) and multiband effects.

description: Individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) possess extremely high thermal conductivities. However, the thermal conductivities and their anisotropy of macroscopic assemblies of CNTs have so far remained small. Here, we report results of directional thermal transport measurements on a nearly-perfectly aligned CNT film fabricated via controlled vacuum filtration. We found the thermal conductivity to be 43 +- 2.2 W m^-1 K^-1 with a record-high thermal anisotropy of 500. From the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity and its agreement with the atomistic phonon transport calculation, we conclude that the effect of intertube thermal resistance on heat conduction in the alignment direction is negligible because of the large contact area between CNTs. These observations thus represent ideal unidirectional thermal transport, i.e., the thermal conductivity of the film is determined solely by that of individual CNTs.

Abseits der Rhetorik zeigt sich jedoch eine durchwachsene Bilanz. Nicht nur die Wirtschaftsaußenpolitik läuft mit ihrem Fokus auf Energie- und Rüstungsprojekte Gefahr, jene Strukturen zu reproduzieren, die Russlands außenpolitische Handlungsspielräume und ökonomische Entwicklung in der Vergangenheit eher behindert denn befördert haben. Auch der einstweilen erfolgreiche Ausbau des sicherheitspolitischen Engagements in Asien steht vor der Herausforderung, die sich abzeichnende Abhängigkeit gegenüber China zu gestalten.

description: In a one-parameter study of a noninvertible family of maps of the plane arising in the context of a numerical integration scheme, Lorenz studied a sequence of transitions from an attracting fixed point to "computational chaos." As part of the transition sequence, he proposed the following as a possible scenario for the breakup of an invariant circle: the invariant circle develops regions of increasingly sharper curvature until at a critical parameter value it develops cusps; beyond this parameter value, the invariant circle fails to persist, and the system exhibits chaotic behavior on an invariant set with loops [Lorenz, 1989]. We investigate this problem in more detail and show that the invariant circle is actually destroyed in a global bifurcation before it has a chance to develop cusps. Instead, the global unstable manifolds of saddle-type periodic points are the objects which develop cusps and subsequently "loops" or "antennae." The one-parameter study is better understood when embedded in the full two-parameter space and viewed in the context of the two-parameter Arnold horn structure. Certain elements of the interplay of noninvertibility with this structure, the associated invariant circles, periodic points and global bifurcations are examined.

description: Two n×n Latin squares L1,L2 are said to be orthogonal if, for every ordered pair (x, y) of symbols, there are coordinates (i, j) such that L1(i,j)=x and L2(i,j)=y. A k-MOLS is a sequence of k pairwise-orthogonal Latin squares, and the existence and enumeration of these objects has attracted a great deal of attention. Recent work of Keevash and Luria provides, for all fixed k, log-asymptotically tight bounds on the number of k-MOLS. To study the situation when k grows with n, we bound the number of ways a k-MOLS can be extended to a (k+1)-MOLS. These bounds are again tight for constant k, and allow us to deduce upper bounds on the total number of k-MOLS for all k. These bounds are close to tight even for k linear in n, and readily generalise to the broader class of gerechte designs, which include Sudoku squares.

description: L1551 IRS 5 is a FUor-like object located in the Taurus star forming region. We present ALMA 1.3 mm continuum observations using a wide range of baselines. The observations recovered the two circumstellar disks composing the system and, for the first time, resolved the circumbinary ring. We determined the geometry and estimated lower mass limits for the circumstellar disks using simple models. We calculated lower limits for the total mass of both circumstellar disks. After subtracting the two circumstellar disk models from the image, the residuals show a clearly resolved circumbinary ring. Using a radiative transfer model, we show that geometrical effects can explain some of the brightness asymmetries found in the ring. The remaining features are interpreted as enhancements in the dust density.

description: Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a proposta de Educação no Campo adotada pelas Casas Familiares Rurais (CFRs), na Região Sudoeste do Paraná, também conhecida como “Pedagogia da Alternância”, procurando verificar a contribuição desta pedagogia para o desenvolvimento sócio-econômico cultural e educacional dos jovens rurais, suas famílias e comunidade. A Pedagogia da Alternância é uma proposta educacional que respeita as peculiaridades regionais, valoriza o modo de vida do homem rural, seus costumes e valores, conseguindo adequar-se às complexidades existentes na Agricultura Familiar, diferenciando-se da educação urbana adotada em municípios com características rurais ou até mesmo no ensino agrícola. Essa proposta educativa para o meio rural procura relacionar o processo de educação com seu público alvo, conciliando o trabalho na propriedade rural com a educação, valorizando o conhecimento do aluno numa interação entre a escola-família-comunidade, utilizando a interdisciplinariedade e os temas geradores no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. A Pedagogia da Alternância adotada nas CFRs tem contribuído para o resgate cultural e a elevação da auto-estima dos jovens rurais em relação à sua profissão de agricultores, também corroborando com a possibilidade da permanência do jovem no campo e a continuidade dos seus estudos, diminuindo, com isso, o alto índice de analfabetismo no meio rural. Entretanto, o simples emprego desta pedagogia não garante o sucesso da proposta, pois a mesma depende também de políticas públicas de incentivo que estejam inseridas dentro de um projeto de desenvolvimento local sustentável. Outro fator preponderante para o sucesso da Pedagogia da Alternância é o envolvimento da sociedade como um todo no projeto, ou seja, dos monitores, dos alunos e suas família, da comunidade onde a escola está inserida, bem como do poder público estabelecido, numa concentração de esforços e ações para buscar a melhoria da qualidade de vida do homem no meio rural.
Photon-induced Reactions in Stars and in the Laboratory: A Critical Comparison

description: Photon-induced reactions during the astrophysical p- (or gamma-) process occur at typical temperatures of 1.8 < T9 < 3.3. Experimental data of (gamma,n), (gamma,p), or (gamma,alpha) reactions - if available in the relevant energy region - cannot be used directly to measure astrophysical (gamma,n), (gamma,p), or (gamma,alpha) reaction rates because of the thermal excitation of target nuclei at these high temperatures. Usually, statistical model calculations are used to predict photon-induced reaction rates. The relations between experimental reaction cross sections, theoretical predictions, and astrophysical reaction rates will be critically discussed.

description: We study the following separation problem: Given a collection of pairwise disjoint coloured objects in the plane with k different colours, compute a shortest “fence” F, i.e., a union of curves of minimum total length, that separates every pair of objects of different colours. Two objects are separated if F contains a simple closed curve that has one object in the interior and the other in the exterior. We refer to the problem as geometric k-cut, as it is a geometric analog to the well-studied multicut problem on graphs. We first give an O(n4log3n)-time algorithm that computes an optimal fence for the case where the input consists of polygons of two colours with n corners in total. We then show that the problem is NP-hard for the case of three colours. Finally, we give a randomised 4/3⋅1.2965-approximation algorithm for polygons and any number of colours.

description: This paper examines the impact of food safety standards imposed on suppliers of ground beef to the National School Lunch Program by the Agricultural Marketing Service. Probit regression results show that plants approved by AMS that bid on contracts to supply the NSLP had a higher level of food safety performance than both plants approved by AMS but not bidding on NSLP contracts and other plants regulated by the Food Safety Inspection Service. Plants approved to bid on NSLP contracts but not bidding on contracts had a lower level of food safety performance than both other types of plants. Results after 2009 suggest that differences in food safety performance may have narrowed. The paper also provides some evidence of strategic behavior by plant managers in which they use information about their plant’s food safety performance to decide whether to bid on a contract to supply the NSLP.

description: Disease maps are an important tool in cancer epidemiology used for the analysis of geographical variations in disease rates and the investigation of environmental risk factors underlying spatial patterns. Cancer maps help epidemiologists highlight geographic areas with high and low prevalence, incidence, or mortality rates of cancers, and the variability of such rates over a spatial domain. When more than one cancer is of interest, the models must also capture the inherent or endemic association between the diseases in addition to the spatial association. This article develops interpretable and easily implementable spatial autocorrelation models for two or more cancers. The article builds upon recent developments in univariate disease mapping that have shown the use of mathematical structures such as directed acyclic graphs to capture spatial association for a single cancer, estimating inherent or endemic association for two cancers in addition to the association over space (clustering) for each of the cancers. The method builds a Bayesian hierarchical model where the spatial effects are introduced as latent random effects for each cancer. We analyze the relationship between incidence rates of esophagus and lung cancer extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. Our analysis shows statistically significant association between the county-wise incidence rates of lung and esophagus cancer across California. The bivariate directed acyclic graphical model performs better than competing bivariate spatial models in the existing literature.

Determining the Impact of Retailer Store Brand Procurement on Vertical Relationships with Brand Manufacturers and on Market Equilibrium

Subjects: Demand and Price Analysis

description: This paper investigates how a retailer's store brand supply source impacts vertical pricing and supply channel profitability. Using chain-level retail scanner data from major supermarkets in Boston prior to the leading retailer's divestiture of its store brand milk processing to a major brand manufacturer I estimate a random coefficients logit demand model employing a Bayesian estimation approach. Bayesian decision theory is applied to select from a set of pricing games the one most likely for the data sample analyzed. Results from this analysis indicate that the empirically valid model has the pre-divested retailer integrated into the processing of its own milk and takes as given the wholesale price of brand milks while competing retailers have nonlinear pricing contracts with brand manufacturers who produce their store brands. This model is matched against a series of counterfactual simulations as a baseline. The counterfactual simulations consider the eventual divestiture of store brand milk processing by the leading retailer to a major brand manufacturer as well as two fictional markets where store brands are no longer offered and optimal nonlinear pricing breaks down making way for a double marginalization outcome. Simulation results indicate that the divestiture likely improved profitability and reduced retail prices by eliminating double marginalization.

description: Objective: Abatacept is a biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and modulates the costimulatory signal by cluster of differentiation (CD)28:CD80/CD86 interaction required for T cell activation. Since CD28-mediated signalling regulates many T cell functions including cytokine production of, for example, interferons (IFNs), it is of interest to clarify, whether response to abatacept has an effect on the IFN inducible immunoproteasome, as a central regulator of the immune response. Methods: Effects of abatacept on the proteasome were investigated in 39 patients with RA over a period of 24 weeks. Using real-time PCR, transcript levels of constitutive and corresponding immunoproteasome catalytic subunits were investigated at baseline (T0), week 16 (T16) and week 24 (T24) in sorted blood cells. Proteasomal activity and induction of apoptosis after proteasome inhibition were also evaluated. Results: Abatacept achieved remission or low disease activity in 55% of patients at T16 and in 70% of patients at T24. By two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), a significant reduction of proteasome immunosubunit β1i was shown only in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of sustained responders at both T16 and T24. One-way ANOVA analysis for each response group confirmed the results and showed a significant reduction at T24 in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of the same group. Abatacept did not influence chymotrypsin-like activity of proteasome and had no effect on induction of apoptosis under exposure to a proteasome inhibitor in vitro. Conclusion: The reduction of proteasome immunosubunit β1i in T cells of patients with RA with sustained response to abatacept suggests association of the immunoproteasome of T cells with RA disease activity.
