description: The traditional farmers in a developing country like India are entirely dependent on agriculture for their income. However, the rate of return on the investment in agriculture is meager and has an extended recovery time. Moreover, due to the negligible usage of technology, there are many uncertainties in the yield. Therefore, many times, these farmers have domestic animals that not only help them in the field but also provide them secondary income. In this study, we will be exploring the possibility of having solar farming as a secondary income besides farming as primary. In this study, based on the geographical location, land size, and solar irradiation data model will be created for predicting the daily income earned by the farmer. Additionally, the study will be identifying the possible financial partners that can fund such a project.

description: Direct simulations of two-dimensional plane channel flow of a viscoelastic fluid at Reynolds number Re = 3000 reveal the existence of a family of attractors whose structure closely resembles the linear Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) mode, and in particular exhibits strongly localized stress fluctuations at the critical layer position of the TS mode. At the parameter values chosen, this solution branch is not connected to the nonlinear TS solution branch found for Newtonian flow, and thus represents a solution family that is nonlinearly self-sustained by viscoelasticity. The ratio between stress and velocity fluctuations is in quantitative agreement for the attractor and the linear TS mode, and increases strongly with Weissenberg number, Wi. For the latter, there is a transition in the scaling of this ratio as Wi increases, and the Wi at which the nonlinear solution family comes into existence is just above this transition. Finally, evidence indicates that this branch is connected through an unstable solution branch to two-dimensional elastoinertial turbulence (EIT). These results suggest that, in the parameter range considered here, the bypass transition leading to EIT is mediated by nonlinear amplification and self-sustenance of perturbations that excite the Tollmien-Schlichting mode.

description:
While agenda building and framing are commonly examined in the strategic communication literature, the concept of code-switching remains underexplored in the field. Similarly, the incredible rise of podcasting remains less examined as a strategic communication tool. Bridging these gaps, this study qualitatively examined U.S. presidential candidate interviews on podcasts during the 2020 primary cycle. Insights about code-switching and attribute and topic selection emerged, demonstrating podcasts could be a critical media platform for lesser-known candidates of public office. Further, this study finds podcasts to be a prime arena for candidates who want to deviate from traditional political talking points and who want to access diverse and niche audiences. A call is made to further examine this intersectionality in the strategic communication literature.

description: Phimenes and Delta
Giordani Soika (1972: 110) treated Phi de Saussure 1855 (Giordani Soika gave 1856 as the date), as the name for a genus consisting of some species he had previously placed in the genus Delta de Saussure 1855 (e. g. Giordani Soika 1961b). Cardale (1985) and Brown (2009) did not mention Phi. Carpenter (1986: 68) pointed out that Phi de Saussure 1855, was a junior homonym of Phi de Saussure 1854 (now a subgenus of the polistine genus Mischocyttarus de Saussure 1853), and treated it as a synonym of Delta. This was overlooked by several later authors (Giordani Soika 1987: 150; Giordani Soika & Kojima 1988: 181; Gusenleitner 1988: 184), who used the unavailable name. Giordani Soika (1992) proposed a replacement name, Phimenes. Carpenter (2008) did not accept Phimenes as a genus separate from Delta, but other authors have (e. g. Borsato 1994 [1993], 1994, 2003; Nugroho et al. 2012 [2011]; Kumar 2013; Nguyen et al. 2016). In the cladistic analysis by Hermes et al. (2014, see their fig. 83) Delta came out as more closely related to Katamenes Meade-Waldo 1910 than to Phimenes. Synonymy of Phimenes with Delta therefore requires consideration of the status of Katamenes, which we are not prepared to undertake at this time. Phimenes is accordingly retained as a genus.

Another look at the Lady Tasting Tea and differences between permutation tests and randomization tests

description: The statistical literature is known to be inconsistent in the use of the terms "permutation test" and "randomization test". Several authors succesfully argue that these terms should be used to refer to two distinct classes of tests and that there are major conceptual differences between these classes. The present paper explains an important difference in mathematical reasoning between these classes: a permutation test fundamentally requires that the set of permutations has a group structure, in the algebraic sense; the reasoning behind a randomization test is not based on such a group structure and it is possible to use an experimental design that does not correspond to a group. In particular, we can use a randomization scheme where the number of possible treatment patterns is larger than in standard experimental designs. This leads to exact \emph{p}-values of improved resolution, providing increased power for very small significance levels, at the cost of decreased power for larger significance levels. We discuss applications in randomized trials and elsewhere. Further, we explain that Fisher's famous Lady Tasting Tea experiment, which is commonly referred to as the first permutation test, is in fact a randomization test. This distinction is important to avoid confusion and invalid tests.

description: Confused about renovating your space? Choosing the perfect color for your walls is always a challenging task. One does rounds of color consultation and several patch tests. This paper proposes an AI tool to pitch paint based on attributes of your room and other furniture, and visualize it on your walls. It makes the color selection process easy. It takes in images of a room, detects furniture objects using YOLO object detection. Once these objects have been detected, the tool picks out color of the object. Later this object specific information gets appended to the room attributes (room_type, room_size, preferred_tone, etc) and a deep neural net is trained to make predictions for color/texture/wallpaper for the walls. Finally, these predictions are visualized on the walls from the images provided. The idea is to take the knowledge of a color consultant and pitch colors that suit the walls and provide a good contrast with the furniture and harmonize with different colors in the room. Transfer learning for YOLO object detection from the COCO dataset was used as a starting point and the weights were later fine-tuned by training on additional images. The model was trained on 1000 records listing the room and furniture attributes, to predict colors. Given the room image, this method finds the best color scheme for the walls. These predictions are then visualized on the walls in the image using image segmentation. The results are visually appealing and automatically enhance the color look-and-feel.

Our formalism incorporates the effect of operator mixing and all non-planar corrections to the inner product. We use supersymmetry to construct the bosonic matrix elements of the light-cone Hamiltonian to all orders in g_2, and make a detailed comparison with the non-planar amplitudes obtained from gauge theory to order (g_2)^2. We find a precise match.

Microswimmers in an axisymmetric vortex flow

description: Microswimmers are encountered in a wide variety of biophysical settings. When interacting with flow fields, they show interesting dynamical features such as trapping, clustering, and preferential orientation. One important step towards the understanding of such features is to clarify the interplay of hydrodynamic flows with microswimmer motility and shape. Here, we study the dynamics of ellipsoidal microswimmers in a two-dimensional axisymmetric vortex flow. Despite this simple setting, we find surprisingly rich dynamics, which can be comprehensively characterized in the framework of dynamical systems theory. By classifying the fixed-point structure of the underlying phase space as a function of motility and microswimmer shape, we uncover the topology of the phase space and determine the conditions under which microswimmers are trapped in the vortex. For spherical microswimmers, we identify Hamiltonian dynamics, which are broken for microswimmers of a different shape. We find that prolate ellipsoidal microswimmers tend to align parallel to the velocity field, while oblate microswimmers tend to remain perpendicular to it. Additionally, we find that rotational noise allows microswimmers to escape the vortex with an enhanced escape rate close to the system's saddle point. Our results clarify the role of shape and motility on the occurrence of preferential concentration and clustering and provide a starting point to understand the dynamics in more complex flows.

We study SU(3) breaking corrections to these relations in the case of charmless, hadronic, two body $B$ decays using the improved factorization model of Ref.\cite{3}. We consider the cases $B \to PP$ and $B \to PV$ for both $B_d$ and $B_s$ mesons. We present an estimate for $A_{CP}(π^- π^+)$ in terms of $A_{CP}(K^- π^+)$.

description: Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and total organic carbon (TOC) were investigated in surface sediments along coastal area of Papar to Tuaran, Sabah. Surface sediment samples were collected in 24 different stations in each area by using Ponar grab sampler. Samples were extracted for TPH using standard method sediment/sludge APHA 5520E and analyzed using UV/VIS spectrophotometer while for TOC method analysis using United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)/MAP Athens (2006). The range of TPH concentrations in surface sediments were recorded at 0.24 – 20.65 mg/kg dw Miri crude oil equivalents, meanwhile the TOC percentage ranged from 0.03 – 4.02%. In the mean time, the statistical analysis by Pearson correlation showed a positive correlation with coefficient, r = 0.790 which showing the TPH concentrations significantly have influence on the TOC accumulations in the surface sediment.

The interest in this global geometrical feature goes beyond the purely mathematical. Such spacetimes may be considered lower-dimensional toy models of sourceless Einstein gravity or cosmology. In particular, our interest in this note will be to find the set free of CTC's for $E/$, where $E$ is modeled on Minkowski space and $γ$ is a Poincaré transformation. We describe the set free of CTC's where $γ$ is hyperbolic, parabolic and elliptic.

description: In the context of Kyoto Protocol, forests can be used to create carbon credits. Contrary to the energetic sector where emissions reductions are considered as definitive, managing forests to mitigate climate change has been crticised because of the risks of reversibility. Biological carbon sinks are said to be non permanent. So, how can we compare carbon emissions reductions to carbon sequestration by sinks? What is the value of the carbon credits issued from forestry? In this study, we consider the debate surrounding carbon credits attribution. As a first step, we recall methods that have been suggested. Results of a case study dealing with a forest located in southwestern France are presented in the second part of the paper. In a final discussion, we wonder about financial impact of different geopolitical strategies.
Aggregation-Induced Morphology of Low-Dispersity, Regioregular Poly (3-Hexylthiophenes) and their Blends with Fullerene Derivatives

description: Regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (rr-P3HT) provides a unique system for studying structure-property relationships that drive its performance as an electron donor material for organic electronics applications. Low dispersity rr-P3HT films can exhibit nanofibrillar morphology, resulting from self-assembly of the conjugated polymer chains via π-π stacking. These highlycrystalline domains include void spaces between adjacent nanofibrils that can be filled with small molecule electron acceptors such as fullerenes. This work investigates 1) the synthetic origins of the dispersity which makes such nanofibrils possible, 2) the process of rr-P3HT aggregation which begins in solution and which is affected by the presence of fullerene acceptor molecules, and 3) the consequences of rr-P3HT/fullerene active layer processing conditions on the morphology of thin films.
The first objective is achieved by modeling controlled polymerizations, including Grignard metathesis polymerization which is the synthetic procedure that produces rr-P3HT. Mechanistic steps leading to broad molecular weight distributions are identified, providing insight for future synthetic procedures which utilize similar catalyst-transfer principles. After producing polymers using Grignard metathesis polymerization, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy are used to study the development of rr-P3HT nanofibrils in solution. Using these methods, PCBM, a commonly used fullerene derivative, is shown to significantly
impact the polymer aggregate structures in solution, and various rr-P3HT/PCBM blending scenarios are shown to produce different results as the blend solutions age over time. Blends of rr-P3HT and PCBM and neat polymer films are next investigated using traditional thermodynamic and wide angle x-ray scattering approaches, showing that film
processing conditions, which either enhance or suppress nanofibril formation, can be distinguished but prove difficult to quantify. Instead, grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering is used to characterize rr-P3HT:PCBM blend films. Using Porod analysis, the size of nanostructured
domains can be determined, providing an alternate way to visualize the impact of processing conditions on bulk heterojunction films, which correlate well with results from organic photovoltaic devices prepared under similar conditions.

description: Continuing recent efforts in extending the classical singularity theorems of General Relativity to low regularity metrics, we give a complete proof of both the Hawking and the Penrose singularity theorem for $C^1$-Lorentzian metrics - a regularity where one still has existence but not uniqueness for solutions of the geodesic equation. The proofs make use of careful estimates of the curvature of approximating smooth metrics and certain stability properties of long existence times for causal geodesics. On the way we also prove that for globally hyperbolic spacetimes with a $C^1$-metric causal geodesic completeness is $C^1$-fine stable. This improves a similar older stability result of Beem and Ehrlich where they also used the $C^1$-fine topology to measure closeness but still required smoothness of all metrics. Lastly, we include a brief appendix where we use some of the same techniques in the Riemannian case to give a proof of the classical Myers Theorem for $C^1$-metrics.

description: Pseudabispa and Bidentodynerus
Giordani Soika (1977: 117) described the genus Bidentodynerus, monotypic for Odynerus bicolor de Saussure 1855. Cardale (1985) used this genus name. Then Giordani Soika (1993: 126) transferred the type species of Bidentodynerus to Pseudabispa van der Vecht 1960, attributing the placement to van der Vecht (in litt.). He did not mention Bidentodynerus; the synonymy was not otherwise stated. Bidentodynerus is thus a subjective junior synonym of Pseudabispa van der Vecht 1960, and the genus name Pseudabispa has been used for bicolor by subsequent authors (Borsato 1996, 2003; Borsato & Ratti 1999; Brown 2009).

description: We have determined the distance to M33 using single epoch I-band observations of Cepheids based on HST/WFPC2 images of five fields in M33. Combining the HST I-band photometry and the periods determined from the ground-based observations (DIRECT) for 21 Cepheids with log P>0.8 in the sample of 32 Cepheids, we derive a distance modulus of (m-M)_0=24.52+/-0.14(random)+/-0.13(systematic) for an adopted total reddening of M33, E(B-V)=0.20+/-0.04 (E(V-I)=0.27+/-0.05) given by Freedmand et al.(2001), the reddening to the LMC, E(B-V)=0.10, and the distance to the LMC, (m-M)_0=18.50. If the total reddening to M33 of E(B-V)=0.10+/-0.09 given by Freedman, Wilson, and Madore(1991) is used, the Cepheid distance modulus based on the I-band photometry will be increased by 0.20. Metallicity effect on the Cepheid distance to M33 is estimated to be small, delta(m-M)_Z=0.01 to 0.06, which leads to (m-M)_0=24.53 to 24.58 after this metallicity effect correction. Using the Wesenheit W_I, an extinction-free parameter, we derive a similar value, (m-M)_0=24.52+/-0.15(random)+/-0.11(systematic). These results are in reasonable agreement with those based on the ground-based multi-epoch BVRI observations of brighter Cepheids in M33, and are ~0.3 smaller than those based on the tip of the red giant branch and the red clump. It is needed to estimate better the reddening to Cepheids in M33.

Images obtained with PAUCam are affected by scattered light: an optical effect consisting of light multiply that deposits energy in specific detector regions contaminating the science measurements. Fortunately, scattered light is not a random effect, but it can be predicted and corrected for. We have found that BKGnet background predictions are very robust to distorting effects, while still being statistically accurate. On average, the use of BKGnet improves the photometric flux measurements by 7% and up to 20% at the bright end. BKGnet also removes a systematic trend in the background error estimation with magnitude in the i-band that is present with the current PAU data management method. With BKGnet, we reduce the photometric redshift outlier rate

description: We have determined the distance to M33 using the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) and the red clump (RC), from the VI photometry of stars in ten regions of M33 based on HST/WFPC2 images. The regions used in this study are located at R=2.6 - 17.8 arcmin from the center of M33. The distance modulus to M33 obtained in this study, for an adopted foreground reddening of E(B-V)=0.04, is (m-M)_{0,TRGB}=24.81+/-0.04(random)+0.15/-0.11(systematic) from the TRGB, and (m-M)_{0,RC}=24.80+/-0.04(random)+/-0.05(systematic) from the RC, showing an excellent agreement between the two (corresponding to a distance of 916+/-17(random) kpc and 912+/-17(random) kpc, respectively). These results are \~0.3 mag larger than the Cepheid distances based on the same HST/WFPC2 data and ground-based data. This difference is considered partially due to the uncertainty in the estimates of the total reddening for Cepheids in M33.

Toward a Measurement of the Neutrino Mass with Tritium: Ion Studies for the KATRIN and TRIMS Experiments

description: The KATRIN (KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino) experiment aims to measure the effective neutrino mass with an unprecedented design sensitivity of 0.2 eV at the 90% confidence level by measuring the energy spectrum of electrons produced in tritium beta-decay. Magnetic fields guide charged particles through the energy-analyzing retarding spectrometers towards the main detector. In this process, ions produced from the decay and from scatteringprocesses, act as a background source as they further ionize residual gas and produce secondary electrons. Ion-blocking mechanisms are implemented in the transport section for which we found preferred settings and neutralization times. We monitor the small ion flux in the spectrometers by the current that they make by striking electrodes along the beamline and by electron generation by ion-impact in the spectrometer. We calibrated the monitoring devices and present their performance during the first neutrino mass campaigns. We demonstrated that it was safe to run the experiment without ion contamination at thehigh tritium concentration used during neutrino mass measurements. The molecular final-state theory, used to calculate the beta-energy spectrum for the KATRINexperiment, is validated by the TRIMS (Tritium Recoil-Ion Mass Spectrometer) experiment. The goal of the TRIMS experiment is to measure the molecular tritium beta-decaybranching ratio to the bound state 3HeT+ and resolve discrepancies between theory and experimental results. In this thesis we will discuss selected analysis projects done for the TRIMS experiment, including characterization of the ion detector to correct for energy-loss effects, and investigations of the beta-decay daughter ion energy spectrum.

Lissodynerus

description: Lissodynerus = Pararrhynchium
When Giordani Soika (1993b, 1994) described the genus Lissodynerus, he compared it only to Stenodyneriellus Giordani Soika (1962 [1961]). In fact, Lissodynerus is like Pararrhynchium de Saussure 1855 in all respects. The only key to include both genera is that of Tan et al. (2018), which separates the two genera at their couplet 30, with the prestigma of the forewing longer than half the length of the pterostigma leading to Lissodynerus inter alia, vs. prestigma half the length of pterostigma or less leading to Pararrhynchium et al. This was based on the single Chinese species of Lissodynerus, L. septemfasciatus feanus (Giordani Soika 1941). Other species of Lissodynerus are variable in the length of the pterostigma, and may have it quite short (cf. Kumar et al. 2015: fig. 5). This character cannot be used to separate the genera, and in other important characters they are the same: clypeus widely and shallowly emarginate; tegula short, not distinctly exceeding parategula; narrow axillary fossa; propodeum raised and usually carinate dorsally; first metasomal tergum weakly transversely carinate; metasomal terga with a variable number having well developed lamellae. These genera should not be maintained as distinct, and so they are synonymized here.

Detection of Classifier Inconsistencies in Image Steganalysis

description: In this paper, a methodology to detect inconsistencies in classification-based image steganalysis is presented. The proposed approach uses two classifiers: the usual one, trained with a set formed by cover and stego images, and a second classifier trained with the set obtained after embedding additional random messages into the original training set. When the decisions of these two classifiers are not consistent, we know that the prediction is not reliable. The number of inconsistencies in the predictions of a testing set may indicate that the classifier is not performing correctly in the testing scenario. This occurs, for example, in case of cover source mismatch, or when we are trying to detect a steganographic method that the classifier is no capable of modelling accurately. We also show how the number of inconsistencies can be used to predict the reliability of the classifier (classification errors).

description: There is an immense effort in search for various types of Weyl semimetals, of which the most fundamental phase consists of the minimal number of i.e. two Weyl points, but is hard to engineer in solids. Here we demonstrate how such fundamental Weyl semimetal can be realized in a maneuverable optical Raman lattice, with which the three-dimensional (3D) spin-orbit (SO) coupling is synthesised for ultracold atoms. In addition, a new novel Weyl phase with coexisting Weyl nodal points and nodal ring is also predicted here, and is shown to be protected by nontrivial linking numbers. We further propose feasible techniques to precisely resolve 3D Weyl band topology through 2D equilibrium and dynamical measurements. This work leads to the first realization of the most fundamental Weyl semimetal band and the 3D SO coupling for ultracold quantum gases, which are respectively the significant issues in the condensed matter and ultracold atom physics.

description: This study was conducted with the objective to estimate technical efficiency of farm producing rice with special emphasis on aromatic, fine and coarse rice varieties in Bangladesh. This was done for understanding the determinants of technical efficiency that may help designing rice production profitably and minimizing farmers' yield gap with given technology and resource constraints and to provide future policy guidelines for researchers and public support services. Farm-level cross-section data were collected from one of the intensive rice-growing areas of Dinajpur. A set of statistical and non-statistical stochastic approaches to frontiers have been used to estimate production efficiency. The application of the translog stochastic production frontier model gave the best fit for technical efficiency analysis. The estimated mean efficiency was 97% for aromatic, 98% for fine, and 85% for coarse rice farmers indicating that there is little scope of increasing yield without breaking the yield frontier particularly for aromatic and fine rice through introduction of high yield potential varieties. For coarse rice varieties, 15-16% yield could be increased even with the existing varieties, if the management practices of the parameters identified in this study are improved.

description: This research paper discusses the effects of visual merchandising elements of a retail store on consumer attention and customer loyalty. Visual merchandising has been one of the effective marketing strategies to show the ways that a retail store could do in order to entice its potential customers. This involves the design and presentation of a store’s layout, window display, color and lighting, store interior design, consumer attention, and customer loyalty. The study focuses on the elements which are the store layout, window display, color and lighting, and store interior design, and how these influence on gaining sales of a store as well as consumer attention and customer loyalty. Simple random probability sampling technique was used in conducting this research, and an adapted questionnaire was designed to gather responses from respondents. 337 students were made respondents from the College of Business Administration in the Polytechnic University of the Philippines – Manila are collected with their demographic profiles to have an authentic individual feedback. The hypotheses for exterior layout and interior layout in having positive impacts on attention and loyalty have been accepted. Also, a visually-pleasant retail store setting results has a significant effect to customer retention customer loyalty. In conclusion, marketing professionals should focus on developing visual merchandising strategies for attracting customers’ attention and increase customer loyalty which may also lead to gain more sales profit and an edge over competitors.

description: Using $p$-adic local Langlands correspondence for $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_2)$ and an ordinary $R = \mathbb{T}$ theorem, we prove that the support of patched modules for quaternionic forms meet every irreducible component of the potentially semi-stable deformation ring. This gives a new proof of the Breuil-Mézard conjecture for 2-dimensional representations of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}_2$, which is new in the case $\overline{r}$ a twist of an extension of the trivial character by itself. As a consequence, a local restriction in Paškūnas' proof of Fontaine-Mazur conjecture is removed.

description: We study the quantum mechanics of a charged particle on a constant curvature noncommutative Riemann surface in the presence of a constant magnetic field. We formulate the problem by considering quantum mechanics on the noncommutative AdS_2 covering space and gauging a discrete symmetry group which defines a genus-g surface. Although there is no magnetic field quantization on the covering space, a quantization condition is required in order to have single-valued states on the Riemann surface. For noncommutative AdS_2 and subcritical values of the magnetic field the spectrum has a discrete Landau level part as well as a continuum, while for overcritical values we obtain a purely noncommutative phase consisting entirely of Landau levels.
