description: The momentum-transfer dependence of the slopes of the spin-non-flip and spin-flip amplitudes is analysed. It is shown that the long tail of the hadronic potential in impact parameter space leads for hadron-hadron interactions to a larger value of the slope for the reduced spin-flip amplitude than for the spin-non-flip amplitude. It is shown that the preliminary measurement of AN obtained by the E950 Collaboration confirms such a behaviour of the hadron spin-flip amplitude.

description: We present an extension of the cell-construction method for the flat-band ferromagnetism. In a rather general setting, we construct Hubbard models with highly degenerate single-electron ground states and obtain a formal representation of these single-electron ground states. By our version of the cell-construction method, various types of flat-band Hubbard models, including the one on line graphs, can be designed and shown to have the unique ferromagnetic ground states when the electron number is equal to the degeneracy of the single-electron ground states.

description: This paper focuses on symmetric potentials subjected to periodic driving. Four unperturbed potentials V_0(r) were considered, namely the Plummer potential and Dehnen potentials with γ=0.0, 0.5, and 1.0, each subjected to a time-dependence of the form V(r,t)=V_0(r)(1+m_0\sin(ωt)). In each case, the orbits divide clearly into regular and chaotic, distinctions which appear absolute. In particular, transitions from regularity to chaos are seemingly impossible. Over finite time intervals, chaotic orbits subdivide into what can be termed `sticky' chaotic orbits, which exhibit no large scale secular changes in energy and remain trapped in the phase space region where they started; and `wildly chaotic' orbits, which do exhibit systematic drifts in energy as the orbits diffuse to inhabit different phase space regions. This latter distinction is not absolute, apparently corresponding instead to orbits penetrating a `leaky' phase space barrier. The three different orbit types can be identified simply in terms of the frequencies for which their Fourier spectra have the most power. An examination of the statistical properties of orbit ensembles as a function of driving frequency ωallows one to identify the specific resonances that determine orbital structure. Attention focuses also on how, for fixed amplitude m_0, such quantities as the mean energy shift, the relative measure of chaotic orbits, and the mean value of the largest Lyapunov exponent vary with driving frequency ωand how, for fixed ω, the same quantities depend on m_0.

description: Covariance regression offers an effective way to model the large covariance matrix with the auxiliary similarity matrices. In this work, we propose a sparse covariance regression (SCR) approach to handle the potentially high-dimensional predictors (i.e., similarity matrices). Specifically, we use the penalization method to identify the informative predictors and estimate their associated coefficients simultaneously. We first investigate the Lasso estimator and subsequently consider the folded concave penalized estimation methods (e.g., SCAD and MCP). However, the theoretical analysis of the existing penalization methods is primarily based on i.i.d. data, which is not directly applicable to our scenario. To address this difficulty, we establish the non-asymptotic error bounds by exploiting the spectral properties of the covariance matrix and similarity matrices. Then, we derive the estimation error bound for the Lasso estimator and establish the desirable oracle property of the folded concave penalized estimator. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to corroborate our theoretical results. We also illustrate the usefulness of the proposed method by applying it to a Chinese stock market dataset.

description: We investigate the experimental detection of the electromagnetic radiation generated in the fast magnetization reversal in Mn12-acetate at low temperatures. In our experiments we used large single crystals and assemblies of several small single crystals of Mn12-acetate placed inside a cylindrical stainless steel waveguide in which an InSb hot electron device was also placed to detect the radiation. All this was set inside a SQUID magnetometer that allowed to change the magnetic field and measure the magnetic moment and the temperature of the sample as the InSb detected simultaneously the radiation emitted from the molecular magnets. Our data show a sequential process in which the fast inversion of the magnetic moment first occurs, then the radiation is detected by the InSb device, and finally the temperature of the sample increases during 15 ms to subsequently recover its original value in several hundreds of milliseconds.

description: Evolution of first population of massive metal-free binary stars is followed. Due to the low metallicity, the stars are allowed to form with large initial masses and to evolve without significant mass loss. Evolution at zero metallicity, therefore, may lead to the formation of massive remnants. In particular, black holes of intermediate-mass (100-500 Msun) are expected to have formed in early Universe, in contrast to the much lower mass stellar black holes (10 Msun) being formed at present. Following a natural assumption, that some of these Population III stars have formed in binaries, the physical properties of first stellar binary black holes are presented. We find that a significant fraction of such binary black holes coalesces within the Hubble time. We point out that burst of gravitational waves from the final coalescences and the following ringdown of these binary black hole mergers can be observed in the interferometric detectors. We estimate that advanced LIGO detection rate of such mergers is at least several events per year with high signal to noise ratio (>10).

Ως εμπειρία σύμφυτη με την πολεμική και τη μεταπολεμική συνθήκη, η έννοια της «δοκιμασίας» αποτελεί έναν «τόπο» στον οποίο διασταυρώνεται το έργο των δύο μεταπολεμικών ποιητών, μολονότι αυτοί κατατάσσονται από την κριτική σε διαφορετικές γενιές. Η εργασία αποτελείται από τέσσερα μέρη: Στο πρώτο, καταγράφονται στοιχεία ιστορικο-γραμματολογικής ένταξης των δύο ποιητών και αποσαφηνίζονται οι τρεις βασικές σημασιολογικές εκδοχές της «δοκιμασίας». Στα υπόλοιπα τρία μέρη, εξετάζονται οι πολύπτυχες όψεις της «δοκιμασίας» όπως αυτές εκδιπλώνονται εξελικτικά στο έργο των δύο ποιητών και εκτείνονται από τη μετουσίωση του πολιτικο-ιστορικού βιώματος και την αντιμετώπιση του γενικευμένου αισθήματος «ήττας» μέχρι και την αναμέτρηση των δύο ποιητών με την ποίηση/γραφή και το δίπολο λόγος/σιωπή. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, αναδεικνύονται α) η συγκρότηση μιας εικονογραφίας πόνου με ρεαλιστικούς εκφραστικούς τρόπους αλλά και πυκνές διακειμενικές αναφορές που λειτουργούν συμβολικά, β) η προβληματική σχέση που αναπτύσσει το ποιητικό υποκείμενο με τον χώρο και τον χρόνο και η συνεπακόλουθη αυτοπεριχαράκωση και γ) η αμφίθυμη σχέση μεταξύ ποιητή και ποιητικού λόγου.
description: Τhis paper attempts through a close-reading of the poetic corpus of Kleitos Kyrou and Vyron Leondaris to highlight some aspects of the “poetics of ordeal (= “dokimasia”)”. Since the experience of “ordeal” is inherent to the war- and/or post-war condition, the “poetics of ordeal” can be considered as a “locus” of two poets’ work. The essay consists of four chapters: the first one works as an introduction, providing information regarding the two poets’ historical-literal registration as well as the different meanings of the experience of “ordeal”. The multifaceted aspects of the “ordeal” are explored, in the other three chapters, as they unfold evolutionarily in the work of the two poets: they extend from the transubstantiation of the political-historical experience and the confrontation of the feeling of general “defeat” to the confrontation of the two poets with poetry and the dipole speech / silence. Thus, the “poetics of ordeal” in this paper can be defined as a) a pain-illustration which consists of realistic expressive ways as well as numerous intertextual references that function symbolically, b) the problematic relationship that the poetic ego develops with space and time and the consequent self-engraving and c) the ambiguous relationship between poet and poetic discourse.

description: Main sequence low-mass stars are known to spin-down as a consequence of their magnetised stellar winds. However, estimating the precise rate of this spin-down is an open problem. The mass-loss rate, angular momentum-loss rate and the magnetic field properties of low-mass stars are fundamentally linked making this a challenging task. Of particular interest is the stellar magnetic field geometry. In this work, we consider whether non-dipolar field modes contribute significantly to the spin-down of low-mass stars. We do this using a sample of stars that have all been previously mapped with Zeeman-Doppler imaging. For a given star, as long as its mass-loss rate is below some critical mass-loss rate, only the dipolar fields contribute to its spin-down torque. However, if it has a larger mass-loss rate, higher order modes need to be considered. For each star, we calculate this critical mass-loss rate, which is a simple function of the field geometry. Additionally, we use two methods of estimating mass-loss rates for our sample of stars. In the majority of cases, we find that the estimated mass-loss rates do not exceed the critical mass-loss rate and hence, the dipolar magnetic field alone is sufficient to determine the spin-down torque. However, we find some evidence that, at large Rossby numbers, non-dipolar modes may start to contribute.

Strategic Scheduling of Discrete Control Devices in Active Distribution Systems

description: The frequent actuation of discrete control devices dcds, e.g., on-load tap changers, drastically reduces their lifetime. This, in turn, imposes a huge replacement cost. Simultaneous scheduling of these \textsc{dcd}s and continuous control devices, e.g., distributed energy resources, is imperative for reducing the operating cost. This also increases the lifetime of \textsc{dcd}s and helps to avoid the sub-optimal/infeasible solutions. Considering the high cost of discrete control actions (dcas), they may never be justified against the other options in a short scheduling horizon (sh). With a longer sh, their benefits over a long period justify dcas. However, a shorter \textsc{sh} helps to hedge against the risk impelled by uncertainties. Here, the system's future is modeled as a set of multi-period scenarios. The operator exploits a long sh, but solely applies the decisions made for the first period and waits for updated data to make the next decisions. This enables cost reduction by strategically applying dcas prior to the time that they are inevitable while avoiding them when unneeded. The proposed branch-and-cut-based solution methodology accurately deals with dcas while applying some expediting heuristics. During the branching process, a globally convergent trust-region algorithm solves the integer relaxed problems.

Η παρούσα έρευνα διερευνά την κοινή εμπειρία γυναικών από τη συμμετοχή τους σε μια εικαστική εγκατάσταση που σχεδιάστηκε για τη δημιουργία νανουρίσματος για το παιδί τους. Οι έξι αυτές γυναίκες 25-40 ετών, βρισκόταν στον 5-7 μήνα της εγκυμοσύνης τους. Συμμετείχαν στην ερευνητική διαδικασία ξεχωριστά η καθεμιά, περίπου για ένα δίωρο, ενώ η συλλογή των δεδομένων ολοκληρώθηκε σε διάστημα τεσσάρων μηνών. Η έρευνα ακολούθησε τη φαινομενολογική μεθοδολογική προσέγγιση για τη διερεύνηση της εμπειρίας των συμμετεχόντων σε αυτή. Τα δεδομένα συλλέχθηκαν από μη συμμετοχική παρατήρηση κατά τη διάρκεια της δράσης και από συνέντευξη. Από ποιοτική ανάλυση των δεδομένων με τη μέθοδο της ανάλυσης περιεχομένου προέκυψε πως οι συμμετέχουσες βιώσαν μια έντονη και σημαντική εμπειρία καθώς εξωτερίκευσαν τα συναισθήματά τους για το παιδί που περίμεναν να γεννηθεί. Η διαδικασία αυτή τις βοήθησε να νιώσουν ότι συνδέονται με το μωρό τους. Η παιγνιώδης διάθεση με την οποία επεξεργάστηκαν τα υλικά της εικαστικής εγκατάστασης προκειμένου να δημιουργήσουν το νανούρισμα για το παιδί τους ενίσχυσε τη δημιουργικότητά τους και τις βοήθησε να εκφράσουν κάτι μοναδικό και ιδιαίτερο για την μοναδική αυτή στιγμή της ζωής τους.
description: An art installation that allows participants to explore it in a playful way by interacting with the stimuli displayed in it, can enhance their emotional involvement, interest and creativity to interpret it creating personal meaning. The present study explores the shared experience of women from their participation in an art installation designed to create a lullaby for their child. These six women, 25-40 years old, were in the 5-7 months of their pregnancy. They each participated in the research process separately, for about two hours, while the data collection was completed within four months. The research followed the phenomenological methodological approach to investigate the experience of the participants in it. Data were collected from non-participatory observation during the action and from an interview. Qualitative analysis of the data with the method of content analysis showed that the participants experienced an intense and important experience as they externalized their feelings for the child who was waiting to be born. This process helped them feel connected to their baby. The playful mood with which the materials of the art installation were processed in order to create the lullaby for their child enhanced their creativity and helped them to express something unique and special for this unique moment of their life.

description: This article investigated the role of cattle attributes in buyers’ choices and hedonic pricing in Benin. Cross-sectional data were collected on 347 market cattle transactions using the revealed preference method. Both statistical tests and hedonic price models were performed. The results show that the most important criteria guiding cattle buyers’ choices were the health status of the cattle, and their body condition, price, age and category. The most important cattle attributes determining the price were the live weight, the subspecies and the breed, the origin, the category and the coat colour. In contrast to the zebu subspecies, taurine subspecies and related breeds had significantly positive hedonic prices. These findings suggest that taurine breeds, which are mainly kept by poor smallholder farmers and currently are neglected by national policies, should be promoted and preserved to improve rural livelihoods.

description: "All misfortune of man comes from the fact that he does not stay peacefully in his room", has once asserted Blaise Pascal. In the present paper we evoke this statement as the "Pascal principle" in regard to the problem of survival of an "A" particle, which performs a lattice random walk in presence of a concentration of randomly moving traps "B", and gets annihilated upon encounters with any of them. We prove here that at sufficiently large times for both perfect and imperfect trapping reactions, for arbitrary spatial dimension "d" and for a rather general class of random walks, the "A" particle survival probability is less than or equal to the survival probability of an immobile target in the presence of randomly moving traps.

description: We experimentally investigate a superconducting qubit coupled to the end of an open transmission line, in a regime where the qubit decay rates to the transmission line and to its own environment are comparable. We perform measurements of coherent and incoherent scattering, on- and off-resonant fluorescence, and time-resolved dynamics to determine the decay and decoherence rates of the qubit. In particular, these measurements let us discriminate between non-radiative decay and pure dephasing. We combine and contrast results across all methods and find consistent values for the extracted rates. The results show that the pure dephasing rate is one order of magnitude smaller than the non-radiative decay rate for our qubit. Our results indicate a pathway to benchmark decoherence rates of superconducting qubits in a resonator-free setting.

description: An existing single resonance model with S11, P11 and P13 Breit-Wiegner resonances in the s-channel has been re-applied to the old pi N --> K Lambda data. It has been shown that the standard set of resonant parameters fails to reproduce the shape of the differential cross section. The resonance parameter determination has been repeated retaining the most recent knowledge about the nucleon resonances. The extracted set of parameters has confirmed the need for the strong contribution of a P11(1710) resonance. The need for any significant contribution of the P13 resonance has been eliminated. Assuming that the Baker. et al data set\cite{Bak78} is a most reliable one, the P11 resonance can not but be quite narrow. It emerges as a good candidate for the non-strange counter partner of the established pentaquark anti-decuplet.

description: As the novel coronavirus spreads across the world, concerns regarding the spreading of misinformation about it are also growing. Here we estimate the prevalence of links to low-credibility information on Twitter during the outbreak, and the role of bots in spreading these links. We find that the combined volume of tweets linking to low-credibility information is comparable to the volume of New York Times articles and CDC links. Content analysis reveals a politicization of the pandemic. The majority of this content spreads via retweets. Social bots are involved in both posting and amplifying low-credibility information, although the majority of volume is generated by likely humans. Some of these accounts appear to amplify low-credibility sources in a coordinated fashion.

description: Strawberry runners (transplants) in many regions of the world are produced in soils treated with chemical fumigants to control pathogens and weeds and meet phytosanitary requirements. Many fumigants, however, are under threat of withdrawal because of concerns over their impact on the environment (e.g., methyl bromide). The current study considered the use of microwaves for heat disinfestation of soil for field-grown runners for the first time. Results from two field experiments showed that microwave treatment reduced the survival of buried inoculum of the strawberry pathogens Fusarium oxysporum (by up to 93%) and Sclerotium rolfsii (by up to 100%) compared with untreated soil. Furthermore, the treatment reduced the subsequent growth of these pathogens in the laboratory by up to 82% and 100%, respectively. Microwave treatment also reduced the natural DNA concentration of Pythium spp. (clades I & F) in soil by up to 94% compared with untreated soil. The effect of microwave against soilborne pathogens reduced as soil depth increased. Microwave treatment reduced the emergence of weeds in field soils by up to 65% and increased runner yields by 10–37%. The effect of microwave treatment on runner yield was greater when all soil was treated, rather than when strips of soil around the mother plants were treated. Results from complimentary pot experiments showed that early strawberry growth in the glasshouse was equivalent in soils treated with microwave or the fumigant methyl bromide/chloropicrin. Furthermore, the early performance of runners sourced from field soils treated with microwave or methyl bromide/chloropicrin was equivalent. Results from the pot experiments also showed that steam treatment required 10 times more energy per mass of soil to disinfest than microwave. The limitations of microwave in the current experiments are discussed, but the capacity for the technology to disinfest field soils in an energy-efficient manner demonstrates its potential for further development as an alternative to soil disinfestation with chemical fumigants.

description: Nambu's construction of multi-linear brackets for super-integrable systems can be thought of as degenerate Poisson brackets with a maximal set of Casimirs in their kernel. By introducing privileged coordinates in phase space these degenerate Poisson brackets are brought to the form of Heisenberg's equations. We propose a definition for constructing quantum operators for classical functions which enables us to turn the maximally degenerate Poisson brackets into operators. They pose a set of eigenvalue problems for a new state vector. The requirement of the single valuedness of this eigenfunction leads to quantization. The example of the harmonic oscillator is used to illustrate this general procedure for quantizing a class of maximally super-integrable systems.

 Material examined: IR24 Kerman Province, stream in Simk village (30°30'N 57°12'E), 2370 m asl., 27.07.2003, leg. Pesic (0/1/0).
 Description: Female: Idiosoma L/W 806/594; Dgl­3 not fused with postoc and D­1; coxal field L 285; Cx­3 W 362; Cx­1+2 mL 78; I­L­5 dL 169, H 35, dL/H ratio 4.83; S­1 L 62, L/W ratio 10.6, S­2 L 71, L/W ratio 13.7, distance between sword setae 3, L ratio S­1/ 2 0.87; I­L­6 L 146, H 28, dL/H ratio 5.2; L ratio I­L­5/6 1.16; genital field L/W 177/144, Ac­1­3 27, 24, 24; chelicera total L 291; palp total L 459, dL and relative L (in parentheses given as % of total length): P­1 34 (7), P­2 116 (25), P­3 109 (24), P­4 150 (33), P­5 50 (11); L ratio P­2/4 0.77.
 Discussion: The Iranian specimen shows a general conformity with Atractides denticulatus in the combination of a striated integument, presence of muscle attachment sclerites, sclerotized excretory pore, fused Vgl­1/2, similar morphology of I­L­5 and 6 (Fig. 3), IV­L­5 with a long, fine, distal hair (Fig. 6), and the shape of palp with denticulation on ventral surface of P­2 and P­3. However, clear morphological differences can be observed between specimens from Iran and Central Europe (Gerecke 2003). In the specimen from Simk a Dgl­3 is not fused with postoc and D­1 (Fig. 1), the gonopore is more elongated (Fig. 2), and the ventral surface of P­2 and P­3 has a weaker denticulation (Figs. 4, 5). Specimens described from Bulgaria (Petrova 1968), based on the shape and arrangement of dorsal sclerites (Dgl­3 not fused with postoc and D­1), more closely resemble the specimens from Iran than the orginal description. According to Gerecke (2003) future investigations on the geographical variation in A. denticulatus could prove that this taxon represents a species complex. This is the first record from Iran.

description: We show that precise knowledge of epidemic transmission parameters is not required to build an informative model of the spread of disease. We propose a detailed model of the topology of the contact network under various external control regimes and demonstrate that this is sufficient to capture the salient dynamical characteristics and to inform decisions. Contact between individuals in the community is characterised by a contact graph, the structure of that contact graph is selected to mimic community control measures. Our model of city-level transmission of an infectious agent (SEIR model) characterises spread via a (a) scale-free contact network (no control); (b) a random graph (elimination of mass gatherings); and (c) small world lattice (partial to full lockdown -- "social" distancing). This model exhibits good qualitative agreement between simulation and data from the 2020 pandemic spread of coronavirus. Estimates of the relevant rate parameters of the SEIR model are obtained and we demonstrate the robustness of our model predictions under uncertainty of those estimates. The social context and utility of this work is identified, contributing to a highly effective pandemic response in Western Australia.

description: The increase in successful adaptations of serial crystallography at synchrotron radiation sources continues. To date, the number of serial synchrotron crystallography (SSX) experiments has grown exponentially, with over 40 experiments reported so far. In this work, we report the first SSX experiments with viscous jets conducted at ALBA beamline BL13-XALOC. Small crystals (15-30 µm) of five soluble proteins (lysozyme, proteinase K, phycocyanin, insulin and α-spectrin-SH3 domain) were suspended in lipidic cubic phase (LCP) and delivered to the X-ray beam with a high-viscosity injector developed at Arizona State University. Complete data sets were collected from all proteins and their high-resolution structures determined. The high quality of the diffraction data collected from all five samples, and the lack of specific radiation damage in the structures obtained in this study, confirm that the current capabilities at the beamline enables atomic resolution determination of protein structures from microcrystals as small as 15 µm using viscous jets at room temperature. Thus, BL13-XALOC can provide a feasible alternative to X-ray free-electron lasers when determining snapshots of macromolecular structures.
Phase space signatures of the Anderson transition

description: We use the inverse participation ratio based on the Husimi function to perform a phase space analysis of the Anderson model in one, two, and three dimensions. Important features of the quantum states remain observable in phase space in the large system size limit, while they would be lost in a real or momentum space description. From perturbative approaches in the limits of weak and strong disorder, we find that the appearance of a delocalization-localization transition is connected to the coupling, by a weak potential, of momentum eigenstates which are far apart in momentum space. This is consistent with recent results obtained for the Aubry-Andre model and provides a novel view on the metal-insulator transition.
