description: Prosocial behaviour towards unrelated others is communally beneficial but can be individually costly. The emotion of gratitude mitigates this cost by encouraging direct as well as “upstream” reciprocity, thereby facilitating cooperation. A widely used method for measuring trait gratitude is the Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ6) [McCullough, M., Emmons, R., & Tsang, J. (2002). The grateful disposition: A conceptual and empirical topography. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 82, 112–127. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-3514.82.1.112]. Here we undertake an assessment of the external validity of the GQ6 by examining its relationship with two incentivized economic games that serve as face valid indices of generosity and reciprocity. In two studies (total N = 501) we find that trait gratitude as measured by the GQ6 predicts greater donations in a charity donation task as well as greater transfers and returns in an incentivized trust game. These results support the hypothesis that individuals with higher trait gratitude are more generous and trusting on average, and provide initial evidence as to the predictive validity of the GQ6.

description: Spin pumping is a recently established means for generating a pure spin current, whereby spins are pumped from a magnet into the adjacent target material under the ferromagnetic resonance condition. We theoretically investigate the spin pumping from an insulating ferromagnet into spin glass materials. Combining a dynamic theory of spin glasses with the linear-response formulation of the spin pumping, we calculate temperature dependence of the spin pumping near the spin glass transition. The analysis predicts that a characteristic peak appears in the spin pumping signal, reflecting that the spin fluctuations slow down upon the onset of spin freezing.

description: Attention is biased towards threat-related stimuli. In three experiments, we investigated the mechanisms, processes, and time course of this processing bias. An emotional flanker task simultaneously presented affective or neutral pictures from the international affective picture system database either as central response-relevant stimuli or surrounding response-uninformative flankers. Participants’ response times to central stimuli was measured. The attentional bias was observed when stimuli were presented either for 1500 ms (Experiment 1) or 500 ms (Experiment 2). The threat-related attentional bias held regardless of the stimuli competing for attention even when presentation time was further reduced to 200 ms (Experiment 3). The results indicate that automatic and controlled mechanisms may interact to modulate the orientation of attention to threat. The data presented here shed new light on the mechanisms, processes, and time course of this long investigated by still largely unknown processing bias.
Wheat policy and economy-wide reform in Brazil

description: In recent years, the wheat sector in Brazil has moved from governmental protection and public intervention to a free market and privatization. In this study, those changes are analyzed through measures of governmental intervention on nominal rates of protection and on welfare of producers and consumers. Elasticities of demand and supply of wheat are estimated, and the effects of changes in policies are analyzed under official and shadow exchange rates. Welfare measures indicate that almost US$ 8 billion were spent from 1970 until 1989 with policies to subsidize producers and consumers. The policy-induced stimulus to consumer demand exceeded the stimulus to domestic production, and self sufficiency in wheat declined. The reduction in wheat subsidies since 1989 was more than an isolated sector-specific policy. It was part of macroeconomic antiinflation policy, and it coincided with other economy-wide changes such as real appreciation and a decline in international commodity prices. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Elastic avalanches reveal marginal behaviour in amorphous solids

description: Mechanical deformation of amorphous solids can be described as consisting of an elastic part in which the stress increases linearly with strain, up to a yield point at which the solid either fractures or starts deforming plastically. It is well established, however, that the apparent linearity of stress with strain is actually a proxy for a much more complex behavior, with a microscopic plasticity that is reflected in diverging nonlinear elastic coefficients. Very generally, the complex structure of the energy landscape is expected to induce a singular response to small perturbations. In the athermal quasistatic regime, this response manifests itself in the form of a scale free plastic activity. The distribution of the corresponding avalanches should reflect, according to theoretical mean field calculations (Franz and Spigler, Phys. Rev. E., 2017, 95, 022139), the geometry of phase space in the vicinity of a typical local minimum. In this work, we characterize this distribution for simple models of glass forming systems, and we find that its scaling is compatible with the mean field predictions for systems above the jamming transition. These systems exhibit marginal stability, and scaling relations that hold in the stationary state are examined and confirmed in the elastic regime. By studying the respective influence of system size and age, we suggest that marginal stability is systematic in the thermodynamic limit.

description: A longstanding puzzle in comparative economics is the 'developmental paradox', the tendency for government support for agriculture to increase with national income and to decrease with the proportion of economic activity and of the population in agriculture. This paper offers a microeconomic explanation for that puzzle. It establishes analytically the microeconomic basis for coalition alignments with respect to food price policy, then numerically simulates the comparative static effects of alternative food policies on coalition structure. A parsimonious household model applied to a heterogeneously endowed society demonstrates how variation in individual welfare effects might beget distinct coalitions in the debate over food price policy and how those policies are inextricably linked to land, population, and technology policies in food agriculture. Moreover, coalition alignments on particular policy debates are path-dependent. In particular, food price policy creates its own political support. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

description: We have investigated the I-V characteristics of strongly disordered ultra-thin films of {\it Bi} and {\it Sn} produced by quench-condensation. Our results show that both these sytems can be visualized as strongly disordered arrays of Josephson junctions. The experimentally observed I-V characteristics of these films is hysteretic, when the injected current is ramped from zero to critical current and back. These are remarkably similar to the hysteretic I-V of an underdamped single junction. We show by computer simulations that hysteresis can persist in a very strongly disordered array. It is also possible to estimate the individual junction parameters ($R$, $C$ and $I_c$) from the experimental I-Vs of the film using this model. The films studied are in a regime where the Josephson-coupling energy is larger than the charging energy. We find that a simple relation $I_c(T)=I_c(0)(1-(T/T_c)^4)$ describes the temperature dependence of the critical current quite accurately for films with sheet resistance $\sim$ 500$Ω$ or lower. We also find evidence of a vortex-unbindi

description: The renormalization group flow equation obtained by means of a proper time regulator is used to calculate the two loop beta function and anomalous dimension eta of the field for the O(N) symmetric scalar theory. The standard perturbative analysis of the flow equation does not yield the correct results for both beta and eta. We also show that it is still possible to extract the correct beta and eta from the flow equation in a particular limit of the infrared scale. A modification of the derivation of the Exact Renormalization Group flow, which involves a more general class of regulators, to recover the proper time renormalization group flow is analyzed.

description: We address the problem of electronic and nuclear spin resonance of an individual atom on a surface driven by a scanning tunnelling microscope. Several mechanisms have been proposed so far, some of them based on the modulation of exchange and crystal field associated to a piezoelectric displacement of the adatom driven by the RF tip electric field. Here we consider a new mechanism, where the piezoelectric displacement modulates the g factor anisotropy, leading both to electronic and nuclear spin flip transitions. We discuss thoroughly the cases of Ti-H (S = 1/2) and Fe (S = 2) on MgO, relevant for recent experiments. We model the system using two approaches. First, an analytical model that includes crystal field, spin orbit coupling and hyperfine interactions. Second, we carry out density functional based calculations. We find that the modulation of the anisotropy of the g tensor due to the piezoelectric displacement of the atom is an additional mechanism for STM based single spin resonance, that would be effective in S = 1/2 adatoms with large spin orbit coupling. In the case of Ti-H on MgO, we predict a modulation spin resonance frequency driven by the DC electric field of the tip.

Semiclassical optimization of entrainment stability and phase coherence in weakly forced quantum limit-cycle oscillators

description: Optimal entrainment of a quantum nonlinear oscillator to a periodically modulated weak harmonic drive is studied in the semiclassical regime. By using the semiclassical phase reduction theory recently developed for quantum nonlinear oscillators, two types of optimization problems, one for the stability and the other for the phase coherence of the entrained state, are considered. The optimal waveforms of the periodic amplitude modulation can be derived by applying the classical optimization methods to the semiclassical phase equation that approximately describes the quantum limit-cycle dynamics. Using a quantum van der Pol oscillator with squeezing and Kerr effects as an example, the performance of optimization is numerically analyzed. It is shown that the optimized waveform for the entrainment stability yields faster entrainment to the driving signal than the case with a simple sinusoidal waveform, while that for the phase coherence yields little improvement from the sinusoidal case. These results are explained from the properties of the phase sensitivity function.

description: In this work, we compare the effects of electromagnetic (EM) fields on strong coupling systems in two formalisms: in-out and in-in, which are different from each other when a finite electric field is present. The chiral effective Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model is adopted for this study, and two kinds of EM field distributions are considered: pure electric field and parallel EM (PEM) field with equal electric and magnetic components. For both distributions, we find that the results of in-out and in-in formalisms start to diverge when the electric field $(qE)^{1/2}$ is larger than the chiral effective mass $M=[m^2+(π^0)^2]^{1/2}$, that is, when the Schwinger pair production mechanism becomes important. Besides, the chiral restorations are stiffer in the in-in formalism, especially the transition shifts to first-order instead of the second-order for the PEM field. The neutral collective modes are also explored accordingly: For the PEM field, more precise calculations show nonmonotonic features of their pole masses due to parity mixing, and then the Goldstone-like mode is found to be noneffective at the end of chiral rotation because of chiral anomaly.

description: The SU(4)-symmetric spin-orbital model on the honeycomb lattice was recently studied in connection to correlated insulators such as the $e_{g}$ Mott insulator Ba$_{3}$CuSb$_{2}$O$_{9}$ and the insulating phase of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene at quarter filling. Here we provide a unified discussion of these systems by investigating an extended model that includes the effects of Hund's coupling and anisotropic, orbital-dependent exchange interactions. Using a combination of mean-field theory, linear flavor-wave theory, and variational Monte Carlo, we show that this model harbors a quantum spin-orbital liquid over a wide parameter regime around the SU(4)-symmetric point. For large Hund's coupling, a ferromagnetic antiferro-orbital ordered state appears, while a valence-bond crystal combined with a vortex orbital state is stabilized by dominant orbital-dependent exchange interactions.

Foot Reflexology : Exploration of Neurophysiological and Embryological Mechanisms in Light of Neuroanatomical Connections

description: Foot reflexology, a non-invasive therapeutic practice, is based on the stimulation of reflex zones located on the feet. Each zone is believed to correspond to a specific organ or system within the human body, allowing for distant functional influence. While its origins trace back to ancient traditional practices, this discipline has gained renewed interest in recent years due to increasing recognition in complementary healthcare. Several recent studies have explored its potential to reduce anxiety, pain, and stress while improving patients' quality of life.

Despite these advancements, the biological mechanisms underlying its effectiveness remain poorly understood. The nervous system, as the central network for communication and regulation, may play a crucial role in the observed effects. The feet, rich in nerve endings, provide a unique interface between the external environment and the central nervous system. The stimulation of plantar zones could establish connections with specific brain regions, such as the somatosensory cortex or the hypothalamus, facilitating neurophysiological responses like relaxation and homeostasis.

At the same time, embryology provides an interesting theoretical framework for understanding the links between plantar reflex zones and internal organs. The three embryonic germ layers—ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm—form connections from the earliest stages of human development, establishing structural and functional foundations that could shed light on reflexology mappings. Although still underexplored, this embryological hypothesis could reinforce the scientific credibility of reflexology.

This article aims to bridge part of this scientific gap by proposing a conceptual framework based on a theoretical analysis of the neurophysiological and embryological mechanisms related to foot reflexology. Relying on a rigorous multidisciplinary literature review, we examine how these mechanisms might explain the observed effects and identify research avenues to validate these hypotheses. The ultimate goal is to provide a scientific foundation for integrating foot reflexology into modern therapeutic approaches, thereby contributing to the broader recognition of this discipline in healthcare.

description: Compactifications of type II theories on Calabi-Yau threefolds including electric and magnetic background fluxes are discussed. We derive the bosonic part of the four-dimensional low energy effective action and show that it is a non-canonical N=2 supergravity which includes a massive two-form. The symplectic invariance of the theory is maintained as long as the flux parameters transform as a symplectic vector and a massive two-form which couples to both electric and magnetic field strengths is present. The mirror symmetry between type IIA and type IIB compactified on mirror manifolds is shown to hold for R-R fluxes at the level of the effective action. We also compactify type IIA in the presence of NS three-form flux but the mirror symmetry in this case remains unclear.

description: In presence of gravitational radiation, the notion of angular momentum of an isolated system acquires an infinite dimensional supertranslation ambiguity. This fact has been emphasized in the mathematical general relativity literature over several decades. We analyze the issue in the restricted context of compact binary coalescence (CBC) where the initial total angular momentum of the binary and the final black hole spin generically refer to \emph{distinct} rotation subgroups of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group, related by \emph{supertranslations}. We show that this ambiguity can be quantified using gravitational memory and the `black hole kick'. Our results imply that, although the ambiguity is conceptually important, under assumptions normally made in the CBC literature, it can be ignored in practice for the current and foreseeable gravitational wave detectors.

The partonic states are in general given by a perturbative QCD cascade and are consequently defined only down to a cutoff in the energy momentum fluctuations. We will show that our method defines the states down to the hadronic mass scale inside an analytically calculable scenario. We will then show that there is a differential version of our process which is closely related to the generalised rapidity range λ, which has been used as a measure on the partonic states. We identify λas the area spanned between the directrix curve (the curve given by the parton energy momentum vectors laid out in colour order, which determines the string surface) and the average curve (to be called the P-curve) of the stochastic X-curves (curves obtained when the hadronic energy-momentum vectors are laid out in rank order). Finally we show that from the X-curve corresponding to a particular stochastic fragmentation situation it is possible to reproduce the directrix curve (up to one starting vector and a set of sign choices, one for each hadron).

description: We consider the thermodynamical behavior of Banks-Zaks theory close to the conformal point in a cosmological setting. Due to the anomalous dimension, the resulting pressure and energy density deviate from that of radiation and result in various interesting cosmological scenarios. Specifically, for a given range of parameters one avoids the cosmological singularity. We provide a full "phase diagram" of possible Universe evolution for the given parameters. For a certain range of parameters, the thermal averaged Banks-Zaks theory alone results in an exponentially contracting universe followed by a non-singular bounce and an exponentially expanding universe, i.e. \textit{Inflation without a Big Bang singularity}, or shortly termed "dS Bounce". The temperature of such a universe is bounded from above and below. The result is a theory violating the classical Null Energy Condition (NEC). Considering the Banks-Zaks theory with an additional perfect fluid, yields an even richer phase diagram that includes the standard Big Bang model, stable single "normal" bounce, dS Bounce and stable cyclic solutions. The bouncing and cyclic solutions are with no singularities, and the violation of the NEC happens only near the bounce. We also provide simple analytical conditions for the existence of these non-singular solutions. Hence, within effective field theory, we have a new alternative non-singular cosmology based on the anomalous dimension of Bank-Zaks theory that may include inflation and without resorting to scalar fields.

Topological Disorder Operators in Three-Dimensional Conformal Field Theory

description: Many abelian gauge theories in three dimensions flow to interacting conformal field theories in the infrared. We define a new class of local operators in these conformal field theories which are not polynomial in the fundamental fields and create topological disorder. They can be regarded as higher-dimensional analogues of twist and winding-state operators in free 2d CFTs. We call them monopole operators for reasons explained in the text. The importance of monopole operators is that in the Higgs phase, they create Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortices. We study properties of these operators in three-dimensional QED using large N_f expansion. In particular, we show that monopole operators belong to representations of the conformal group whose primaries have dimension of order N_f. We also show that monopole operators transform non-trivially under the flavor symmetry group, with the precise representation depending on the value of the Chern-Simons coupling.

description: Many low-income countries pursue cheap-food policies in which consumers pay subsidized prices for bread, rice and other staples. This paper addresses the issue of why different governments select different food subsidy policies, using multiple instruments rather than a simple across-the-board subsidy to provide consumers with access to cheap food. It examines the optimal structure of cheap-food policies in the context of a partial equilibrium model in which the country may be large in trade, and is able to combine import subsidies or tariffs, and output taxes or subsidies, to transfer income to consumers through the market. The model allows for a marginal opportunity cost of government revenues greater than one dollar. In addition, in the model, food aid from overseas may be either given away to the consumer, or given to the government for subsequent sale in the domestic market. The results indicate that only by happenstance will a country choose to use a pure consumption subsidy or a pure import subsidy to transfer income to consumers. In addition, an increase in international food aid does not necessarily lead the government to reduce producer and consumer prices for a commodity.© 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
Magnetic helicity dissipation and production in an ideal MHD code

description: We study a turbulent helical dynamo in a periodic domain by solving the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with the FLASH code using the divergence-cleaning eight-wave method and compare our results with direct numerical simulations (DNS) using the Pencil Code. At low resolution, FLASH reproduces the DNS results qualitatively by developing the large-scale magnetic field expected from DNS, but at higher resolution, no large-scale magnetic field is obtained. In all those cases in which a large-scale magnetic field is generated, the ideal MHD results yield too little power at small scales. As a consequence, the small-scale current helicity is too small compared with that of the DNS. The resulting net current helicity has then always the wrong sign, and its statistical average also does not approach zero at late times, as expected from the DNS. Our results have implications for astrophysical dynamo simulations of stellar and galactic magnetism using ideal MHD codes.

description: Based on the conventional ground observational data, a numerical simulation and moist potential vorticity (MPV) analysis has been carried on heavy rainfall event over Jiangxi province from 19 June to 20 June 2010, with a meso-scale rainstorm model. The results show that this rare rainstorm is a typical heavy rainfall over Meiyu front. The cold air flow behind North China vortex joined up the southwestern flow located in the northwest part of the strong and stable subtropical high, thus the cold air and warm air converged and maintained over the northern part of Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. The simulated precipitation of the high resolution model is very similar with the observational rainfall. The model has a good predictive skill for the location, intensity and center of heavy rainfall. By moist potential vorticity analysis, it is found that the distribution characteristic of MPV which heavy rainfall happens ahead has an obvious indication for precipitation forecast. The vertical overlapping of the positive and negative MPV1 areas is favorable to the generation and development of rainstorm. This zone is also the conjoint area of convective instability and baroclinic instability.

description: We examined proactive and reactive control effects in the context of task-relevant happy, sad, and angry facial expressions on a face-word Stroop task. Participants identified the emotion expressed by a face that contained a congruent or incongruent emotional word (happy/sad/angry). Proactive control effects were measured in terms of the reduction in Stroop interference (difference between incongruent and congruent trials) as a function of previous trial emotion and previous trial congruence. Reactive control effects were measured in terms of the reduction in Stroop interference as a function of current trial emotion and previous trial congruence. Previous trial negative emotions exert greater influence on proactive control than the positive emotion. Sad faces in the previous trial resulted in greater reduction in the Stroop interference for happy faces in the current trial. However, current trial angry faces showed stronger adaptation effects compared to happy faces. Thus, both proactive and reactive control mechanisms are dependent on emotional valence of task-relevant stimuli.

description: Chinese government has attempted to promote food traceability system with all strength, but the application process of this system is very slow. The reason is that the adopters have a low level of system application, which causes the system to be invalid at the source of traceability. This paper applies literature research method to analyze the influencing factors for slow application process of the food traceability system in China from various angles including manufacturer, technology, consumer and law, and further concludes that the applying intention of manufacturers, cognizing and purchasing intentions of consumers, and legal environment are important factors for slow progress of system application. On the basis of the research conclusions, the paper proposes practical ways for better construction of food traceability system in China.
