description: We discuss the weak coupling expansion of a one plaquette SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We show that the conventional perturbative series for the partition function has a zero radius of convergence and is asymptotic. The average plaquette is discontinuous at g^2=0. However, the fact that SU(2) is compact provides a perturbative sum that converges toward the correct answer for positive g^2. This alternate methods amounts to introducing a specific coupling dependent field cut, that turns the coefficients into g-dependent quantities. Generalizing to an arbitrary field cut, we obtain a regular power series with a finite radius of convergence. At any order in the modified perturbative procedure, and for a given coupling, it is possible to find at least one (and sometimes two) values of the field cut that provide the exact answer. This optimal field cut can be determined approximately using the strong coupling expansion. This allows us to interpolate accurately between the weak and strong coupling regions. We discuss the extension of the method to lattice gauge theory on a D-dimensional cubic lattice.

description: We give the curvatures of the free differential algebra (FDA) of M--theory compactified to D=4 on a twisted seven--torus with the 4--form flux switched on. Two formulations are given, depending on whether the 1--form field strengths of the scalar fields (originating from the 3--form gauge field $\hat{A}^{(3)}$) are included or not in the FDA. We also give the bosonic equations of motion and discuss at length the scalar potential which emerges in this type of compactifications. For flat groups we show the equivalence of this potential with a dual formulation of the theory which has the full $\rE_{7(7)}$ symmetry.

description: Some years ago Caporaso and Harris have found a nice way to compute the numbers N(d,g) of complex plane curves of degree d and genus g through 3d+g-1 general points with the help of relative Gromov-Witten invariants. Recently, Mikhalkin has found a way to reinterpret the numbers N(d,g) in terms of tropical geometry and to compute them by counting certain lattice paths in integral polytopes. We relate these two results by defining an analogue of the relative Gromov-Witten invariants and rederiving the Caporaso-Harris formula in terms of both tropical geometry and lattice paths.

description: Intellectual property rights such as patents protect new inventions from imitation and competition. Patents' major objective is to provide incentives for invention, sacrificing short-term market efficiency for long-term economic gains. Although patents are primarily granted to private firms, policy changes over the last 25 years have resulted in greater use of patenting by the public sector. This study examines government patenting behavior by analyzing case studies of patenting and licensing by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. ARS uses patenting and licensing as a means of technology transfer in cases in which a technology requires additional development by a private sector partner to yield a marketable product. Licensing revenue is not a major motivation for ARS patenting. More widespread use of patenting and licensing by ARS has not reduced the use of traditional instruments of technology transfer such as scientific publication. Once the decision has been made to patent and license a technology, the structure of the licensing agreement affects technology transfer outcomes. As commercial partners gain experience with the technology and learn more about the market, mutually advantageous revisions to license terms can maintain the incentives through which private companies distribute the benefits of public research.

description: With our robotic 1.2 m TIGRE telescope, we were able to obtain eight optical spectra with intermediate resolution (R = 20,000) of the Nova V659 Sct during different phases of its outburst. We present a list of the lines found in the Nova spectra. The most common features are H I, O I, Na I, Fe II and Ca II. Studying the spectral evolution of the strong features we found that the absorption features move to higher expansion velocities before disappearing and the emission features show (different) asymmetries. Thanks to the intermediate spectral resolution we identified and analysed the interstellar medium absorption features present in the spectra. We detected atomic absorption features of Na I and Ca II. The sodium D lines show more complex substructures with three main absorption features at around a velocity of -10, 30 and 85 km/s. We identified several DIBs in the Nova V659 Sct spectra and determined their velocities and equivalent widths.

description: Will increasing the minimum wage increase food prices as well? This study shows that a simulated $0.50 increase in the minimum wage, if entirely passed on to consumers, would have increased food prices by less than 1 percent for most of the foods at foodstores and by 1 percent at eating and drinking places. Because these estimates were simulated using an economic model that assumed that firms did not alter their production processes when faced with higher minimum wages, these estimates are likely "upward bounds" of the price effects of a minimum wage increase.

This approach provides analytical results for the typical entropy of circuits in sparse random graphs. When applied to real-world networks, it allows to estimate exponentially large numbers of circuits in polynomial time. We illustrate the method by studying a graph of the Internet structure.

description: Inferring causal relations from time series measurements is an ill-posed mathematical problem, where typically an infinite number of potential solutions can reproduce the given data. We explore in depth a strategy to disambiguate between possible underlying causal networks by perturbing the network, where the actuations are either targeted or applied at random. The resulting transient dynamics provide the critical information necessary to infer causality. Two methods are shown to provide accurate causal reconstructions: Granger causality (GC) with perturbations, and our proposed perturbation cascade inference (PCI). Perturbed GC is capable of inferring smaller networks under low coupling strength regimes. Our proposed PCI method demonstrated consistently strong performance in inferring causal relations for small (2-5 node) and large (10-20 node) networks, with both linear and nonlinear dynamics. Thus the ability to apply a large and diverse set of perturbations/actuations to the network is critical for successfully and accurately determining causal relations and disambiguating between various viable networks.

Absorption and desorption of CO2 and CO in alkanolamine systems
Creators: name: Jamal, Aqil
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Absorption and desorption of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and carbon monoxide (CO) in aqueous alkanolamine solutions are modeled and important kinetic and physical property data are obtained using novel experimental methods. The model is based on the principle of diffusional mass transfer accompanied with fast to very slow chemical reactions in the liquid phase. Fast reactions are represented by CO₂ absorption/desorption in aqueous alkanolamines and slow reactions are represented by CO absorption in aqueous diethanolamine (DEA). The experiments for CO₂ absorption and desorption were conducted in a novel hemispherical contactor designed and developed in this work. The absorption experiments were conducted at near atmospheric pressure using pure CO₂ saturated with water at 293 to 323 K with initially unloaded solutions. The desorption experiments were performed at 333 to 383 K for CO₂ loadings between 0.02 to 0.7 moles of CO₂ per mole of amine using humidified N₂ gas as a stripping medium. The experiments for CO absorption were carried out in a 660 mL batch autoclave reactor at 313 to 413 K with amine concentration between 5 to 50-wt% in distilled water. The partial pressure of CO in the reactor was varied from 800 to 1100 kPa. The data for CO₂ absorption and desorption in aqueous amine systems were analyzed using a new, rigorous mathematical model. The model predicts the experimental results well for all amine systems studied. The results indicate that the theory of absorption with reversible chemical reaction could be used to predict desorption rates. The kinetic data obtained show that desorption experiments could be used to determine both forward and backward rate constants accurately. The absorption experiments on the other hand could only be used to determine forward rate constants. The data for CO absorption in aqueous diethanolamine (DEA) solutions were analyzed using the model for mass transfer with extremely slow reactions. The data are consistent with a mechanism by which formyl-diethanolamine (DEAF) is predominantly formed by direct insertion of CO into DEA. The data also confirm that DEAF formation via the DEA-formate reaction is relatively slow and reversible.

description: The optical spectra of two-dimensional (2D) periodic systems provide a challenge for time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) because of the large excitonic effects in these materials. In this work we explore how accurately these spectra can be described within a pure Kohn-Sham time-dependent density-functional framework, i.e., a framework in which no theory beyond Kohn-Sham density-functional theory, such as $GW$, is required to correct the Kohn-Sham gap. To achieve this goal we adapted a recent approach we developed for the optical spectra of 3D systems [Cavo, Berger, Romaniello, Phys. Rev. B 101, 115109 (2020)] to those of 2D systems. Our approach relies on the link between the exchange-correlation kernel of TDDFT and the derivative discontinuity of ground-state density-functional theory, which guarantees a correct quasi-particle gap, and on a generalization of the polarization functional [Berger, Phys. Rev. Lett., 115, 137402 (2015)], which describes the excitonic effects. We applied our approach to two prototypical 2D monolayers, $h$-BN and MoS$_2$. We find that our protocol gives a qualitative good description of the optical spectrum of $h$-BN, whereas improvements are needed for MoS$_2$ to describe the intensity of the excitonic peaks.

description: Scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM), and its derivate, Fourier transform infrared nanospectroscopy (nano-FTIR) are emerging techniques for infrared (IR) nanoimaging and spectroscopy with applications in diverse fields ranging from nanophotonics, chemical imaging and materials science. However, spectroscopic nanoimaging is still challenged by the limited acquisition rate of current nano-FTIR technology. Here we combine s-SNOM, nano-FTIR and synthetic optical holographic (SOH) to achieve infrared spectroscopic nanoimaging at unprecedented speed (8 spectroscopically resolved images in 20 min), which we demonstrate with a polymer composite sample. Beyond being fast, our method promises to enable nanoimaging in the long IR spectral range, which is covered by IR supercontinuum and synchrotron sources, but not by current quantum cascade laser technology.

description: This paper explores the dynamic effects of biodiversity conservation on agricultural production in the context of specialised intensive farming systems. The focus is on the analysis of the dynamic effects of changes in the levels of agrobiodiversity, on technical change and productivity in intensive agricultural systems. A theoretical model is used to derive hypotheses regarding these linkages that are empirically tested using a stochastic production frontier model with data from a panel of UK cereal farms for the period 1989-2000. The results suggest that the increased agrobiodiversity has positively helped to shift the production frontier outwards. This indicates that the evolution of an intensive agricultural system to less intensive use of inputs can be consistent with non-decreasing output levels and an enhancement of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.

description: Within five-dimensional compactified theories we discuss generalized periodicity and orbifold boundary conditions that allow for mixing between particles and anti-particles after a shift by the size of extra dimensions or after the orbifold reflection. A systematic strategy for constructing 4-dimensional models is presented, in particular we find a general form of the periodicity and orbifold conditions that are allowed by consistency requirements. We formulate general conditions for a presence of massless Kaluza-Klein modes and discuss remaining gauge symmetry of the zero-mode sector. It is shown that if the orbifold twist operation transforms particles into anti-particles then the zero-mode fermions are 4-dimensional Majorana fermions. The possibility of explicit and spontaneous CP violation is discussed. General considerations are illustrated by many Abelian and non-Abelian examples.

description: The double orthogonal projection of the 4-space onto two mutually perpendicular 3-spaces is a method of visualization of four-dimensional objects in a three-dimensional space. We present an interactive animation of the stereographic projection of a hyperspherical hexahedron on a 3-sphere embedded in the 4-space. Described are synthetic constructions of stereographic images of a point, hyperspherical tetrahedron, and 2-sphere on a 3-sphere from their double orthogonal projections. Consequently, the double-orthogonal projection of a freehand curve on a 3-sphere is created inversely from its stereographic image. Furthermore, we show an application to a synthetic construction of a spherical inversion and visualizations of double orthogonal projections and stereographic images of Hopf tori on a 3-sphere generated from Clelia curves on a 2-sphere.

description: Who benefits from irrigation development in an economy and who should pay for the cost? This question so far has not been well addressed in the irrigation literature. To answer this question we need to know, in addition to the information on farmers' level benefits (increased crop productivity), the magnitude of the total economy wide benefits derived by the farm and non-farm sector in the economy from irrigation development. In this study, taking an example from India, we have estimated the marginal benefits of irrigation, both direct (farm level benefits) and total (rural economy wide). Then we compute irrigation multiplier values in India, which range from 3 to 4.5. This suggests that two thirds or more of the benefits from irrigation development have actually been accrued to the non-farm sector in the economy, a factor which should be considered in developing a rational cost recovery and irrigation financing policy. The present literature on irrigation financing and cost recovery are very farmers' centric, and they neglect the economy wide benefits and the semi-public good characteristics of irrigation infrastructure systems. But, the empirical information on distributional implications of irrigation impacts derived here suggest otherwise. Hence, the study findings on irrigation multiplier value, as derived here, have large implications for irrigation financing policies, and setting broader scale of rural development public policies such as poverty alleviation and food security in the tropics where the rural livelihoods still largely rely on the productivity of irrigated agriculture and the performance of the irrigation systems.

Thanks to coannihilations, a successful thermal abundance is obtained for well defined DM masses. The best candidate seems to be a SU(2)_L fermion quintuplet with mass 4.4 TeV, accompanied by a charged partner 166 MeV heavier with life-time 1.8 cm, that manifests at colliders as charged tracks disappearing in pi^\pm with 97.7% branching ratio.

description: The glueball-to-vacuum matrix elements of local gluonic operators in scalar, tensor, and pseudoscalar channels are investigated numerically on several anisotropic lattices with the spatial lattice spacing ranging from 0.1fm - 0.2fm. These matrix elements are needed to predict the glueball branching ratios in $J/ψ$ radiative decays which will help identify the glueball states in experiments. Two types of improved local gluonic operators are constructed for a self-consistent check and the finite volume effects are studied. We find that lattice spacing dependence of our results is very weak and the continuum limits are reliably extrapolated, as a result of improvement of the lattice gauge action and local operators. We also give updated glueball masses with various quantum numbers.

description: We review our recent theoretical results about inequivalence between passive gravitational mass and energy for a composite quantum body at a macroscopic level. In particular, we consider macroscopic ensembles of the simplest composite quantum bodies - hydrogen atoms. Our results are as follows. For the most ensembles, the Einstein's Equivalence Principle is valid. On the other hand, we discuss that for some special quantum ensembles - ensembles of the coherent superpositions of the stationary quantum states in the hydrogen atoms (which we call Gravitational demons) - the Equivalence Principle between passive gravitational mass and energy is broken. We show that, for such superpositions, the expectation values of passive gravitational masses are not related to the expectation values of energies by the famous Einstein's equation, i.e, $m_g \neq \frac{E}{c^2}$. Possible experiments at the Earth's laboratories are briefly discussed, in contrast to the numerous attempts and projects to discover the possible breakdown of the Einstein's Equivalence Principle during the space missions.

Quantitative analysis of hematopoietic stem cell response to cytokine stimulation in vitro
Creators: name: Audet, Julie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The increasing appreciation of the enormous developmental potential of stem cells has raised hopes that one day they can be manipulated in vitro to generate desired cell populations for clinical applications. To provide a quantitative understanding of cytokine effects that affect the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function in vitro, changes in HSC numbers in serum-free cultures were evaluated with a modified competitive repopulation unit (CRU) assay based on the level of donor-derived engraftment. A factorial design was used to screen the effects of thrombopoietin, flt-3 ligand (FL), Steel factor (SF), interleukin (IL)-11, incubation temperature and hydrocortisone in cultures of Sca-1⁺lin⁻ mouse bone marrow. The results indicated that IL-11 and SF were the most important stimulators of CRU expansion. When response surface methodology was used to analyze cytokine effects, IL-11 was found to have a bell-shaped dose-response with a maximum effect at 20 ng/mL. High concentration saturation or decrease in the effect of SF or FL was not observed and their stimulatory effect increased continuously, beyond 300 ng/mL. A negative interaction between SF and FL was also discovered that resulted in a significant inhibitory effect when both were added to cultures at high concentrations (>100 ng/mL). When the response of CRUs was compared with colony-forming cells and total cells, a surprisingly similar pattern of cytokine effects was found. However, the populations differed dramatically in their responsiveness to cytokine doses such that the maintenance of CRU numbers in vitro required > 50-fold greater concentrations. The observed pattern of cytokine effects guided the development of a mathematical model of cell expansion based on Monod kinetics. The HSC proliferation and self-renewal response requirements for gpl30 activation were also examined in single-cell cultures. HSC survival and mitogenesis were maximized by exposure to SF and FL, but optimal retention of their functional capacity required the additional presence of a cytokine that will activate gpl30. Taken together, these results have demonstrated that HSCs mitogenesis and self-renewal can be independently manipulated by the activation of different cell surface cytokine receptors, with additional differential effects dictated by the intensity of signaling.

description: This article proposes an extended three-stage DEA methodology similar to Fried et al. (2002) to improve the measurement of productivity growth then the assumption of free disposability of undesirable outpu t does not apply. A directional distance function is used to construct adjusted Malmquist-Luenberger productivity indexes which simultaneously account for the impacts of undesirable outputs, environmental variables, and statistical noise. Panel data for 264 farmers' credit unions (FCUs) in Taiwan covering the 1998-2000 period are employed to illustrate the advantages of this method. On average, the productivity of Taiwan's FCUs is found to have deteriorated over the 1998-2000 period. Although an improvement in efficiency has been observed, the major reason for the deterioration is found to be due to the regression of techno logy.

Orphanhood and Schooling Outcomes in Malawi

Subjects: Labor and Human Capital

description: The issue of orphan-care has risen to the top of the social protection agenda in Malawi, where the prevalence of orphaned children has dramatically increased because of early deaths of parents infected by the HIV/AIDS. Ensuring that orphaned children are not deprived of minimum investments in education is now a policy priority. Probit models suggest that in rural Malawi, the likelihood of dropping out of school is higher for orphans than for non-orphans as grade level increases. But contrary to conventional wisdom, results suggest that orphans residing with non-parent or non-grandparents caregivers do not have higher probability of dropping out of school. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Orphans under the care of a single surviving parent or grandparents are less likely to attend school compared to those living with other relatives. This is probably due to the fact that income losses associated with the death of a parent is significantly high and the resulting increase in household poverty has a large negative impact on school enrollment or orphans who continue to live in the same household. Such a scenario is very likely in Malawi where the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS has meant that death rates among income earning young adults are especially high. It may also be due to the fact that orphans are adopted by relatively wealthier relatives who are less constrained financially.

description: Solving an optimization task in any domain is a very challenging problem, especially when dealing with nonlinear problems and non-convex functions. Many meta-heuristic algorithms are very efficient when solving nonlinear functions. A meta-heuristic algorithm is a problem-independent technique that can be applied to a broad range of problems. In this experiment, some of the evolutionary algorithms will be tested, evaluated, and compared with each other. We will go through the Genetic Algorithm\, Differential Evolution, Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm, Grey Wolf Optimizer, and Simulated Annealing. They will be evaluated against the performance from many points of view like how the algorithm performs throughout generations and how the algorithm's result is close to the optimal result. Other points of evaluation are discussed in depth in later sections.

description: Single crystals of ZrAs1.4Se0.5 (PbFCl type structure) were grown by chemical vapour transport. While their thermodynamic and transport properties are typical for ordinary metals, the electrical resistivity exhibits a shallow minimum at low temperatures. Application of strong magnetic fields does not influence this anomaly. The minimum of the resistivity in ZrAs1.4Se0.5 apparently originates from interaction between the conduction electrons and structural two-level systems. Significant disorder in the As-Se substructure is inferred from X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe studies.

First Resolved Images of the Mira AB Symbiotic Binary at Centimeter Wavelengths
Creators: name: Matthews, Lynn D.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We report the first spatially resolved radio continuum measurements of the Mira AB symbiotic binary system, based on observations obtained with the Very Large Array (VLA). This is the first time that a symbiotic binary has been resolved unambiguously at centimeter wavelengths. We describe the results of VLA monitoring of both stars over a ten month period, together with constraints on their individual spectral energy distributions, variability, and radio emission mechanisms. The emission from Mira A is consistent with originating from a radio photosphere, while the emission from Mira B appears best explained as free-free emission from an ionized circumstellar region ~(1-10)x10**13 cm in radius.

Building Confidence in the Dirac $δ$-function

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: In this note we present an example from undergraduate quantum mechanics designed to highlight the versatility of the Dirac $δ$-function. Namely, we compute the expectation value of the Hamiltonian of a free-particle in a state described by a triangular wave function $ψ(x)$. Since the first derivative of $ψ(x)$ is piecewise constant, and because this Hamiltonian is proportional to the second order spatial derivative, students often end up finding the expectation value to be zero --an unphysical answer. This problem provides a pedagogical application of the Dirac $δ$-function. By arriving at the same result via alternate pathways, this exercise reinforces students' confidence in the Dirac $δ$-function and highlights its efficiency and elegance.

description: The study has evaluated which are the most relevant factors that determine that a small farmer switch marketing channels in order to enter into a "dynamic" market; that is, into a market signed by more complex contractual relationships that can absorb increasing amounts of its output. The results show that there are a number of producers that currently are not selling to those markets but they may well do so. Restrictions associated to the degree of organization of the producers, their perception of risk and credit market restrictions may prevent these farmers to gain access to the additional benefits that these new market opportunities have to offer.
Reduced visibility of quantum oscillations in the spin-boson model

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: The loss of coherence of quantum oscillations is of fundamental interest as well as of practical importance in quantum computing. In solid-state experiments the oscillations show, next to the familiar exponential decay on time scales $T_{1/2}$, an overall loss of amplitude. We solve the spin-Boson for a large class of initial conditions without the Markov approximation at the pure dephasing point. It is shown that a loss of visibility occurs in the form of a fast initial drop for factorized initial conditions and an overall reduction for entangled initial conditions. This loss of amplitude is distict from $T_2$-decoherence with the difference being most drastic for environments with real or pseudo-gaps. This result is explained by bandwith effects in quantum noise as well as in terms of higher-order phase-breaking processes. For several experiments, such gapped environments are identified. We confirm that this physics is valid beyond the pure dephasing point.

description: This study examines the factors that influenced poor Indonesian farmers to invest in floating net aquaculture after being relocated due to a reservoir construction project. To compare three primary decision factors, credit accessibility, risk attitudes, and social learning, (i.e., learning effects from others' experience), we analyze 16 years of socio-economic retrospective data collected in the field interviews exclusively for this study. Our analysis reveals that credit accessibility and risk attitudes are the most important factors that influence the rate of aquaculture investment. Social learning as well as household education also influences the investment decision significantly. Our results suggest that developmen t projects that involve voluntary investments by a poor populace will be more successful if complementary services to promote credit and insurance accessibility and/or local information sharing are made available, either by the government or the private sector. Also, such support should not cease at the launch of the project but rather continue and in fact evolve to address the changing factors at the different stages of the project.
