description: The demand for compliance with food safety measures (FSM) at farm level, an integral component of food security, is increasing. Yet, literature on the assessment of FSM at the farm level is scarce, especially for developing countries. To bridge the gap, this study investigates the status, estimates the cost, identifies the determinants, and analyzes the impact of compliance with food safety measures (FSM), using cross-sectional data from a survey of 684 dairy farmers in India. We use an ordinary least square (OLS) regression to examine the drivers of FSM adoption and we use the dose response function (DRF) technique to estimate the impact of FSM adoption on milk yield and profitability. The empirical results reveal that compliance with FSM at the farm level is low, with wide variations among milk producers. Drivers of FSM adoption include education, income, training, herd size, landholding, proportion of self-consumed milk, and households' perception of food safety. The DRF estimates reveal the positive impact of FSM adoption on milk yield and milk profitability. Keywords: food safety, compliance cost, dairy profitability, dose response function, Bihar, India Acknowledgement : We are grateful to the United States Agency for International Development for extending financial support to conduct this study through the Policy Reform Initiative Project (PRIP) in Nepal. We express our sincere thanks to all the dairy farmers who provided the needed information for the accomplishment of this study.
A novel experimental setup for an oblique impact onto an inclined granular layer

description: We develop an original apparatus of the granular impact experiment by which the incident angle of the solid projectile and inclination angle of the target granular layer can be systematically varied. Whereas most of the natural cratering events occur on inclined surfaces with various incident angles, there have not been any experiments on oblique impacts on an inclined target surface. To perform systematic impact experiments, a novel experimental apparatus has to be developed. Therefore, we build an apparatus for impact experiments where both the incident angle and the inclination angle can be independently varied. The projectile-injection unit accelerates a plastic ball (6~mm in diameter) up to $v_i\simeq 100$~m~s$^{-1}$ impact velocity. The barrel of the injection unit is made with a three-dimensional printer. The impact dynamics is captured by high-speed cameras to directly measure the impact velocity and incident angle. The rebound dynamics of the projectile (restitution coefficient and rebound angle) is also measured. The final crater shapes are measured using a line-laser profiler mounted on the electric stages. By scanning the surface using this system, a three-dimensional crater shape (height map) can be constructed. From the measured result, we can define and measure the characteristic quantities of the crater. The analyzed result on the restitution dynamics is presented as an example of systematic experiments using the developed system.

Proceedings of the workshop on Evolution of austenitic stainless steels and of protective coatings under irradiation
Creators: name: Di Fonzo, Fabio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: In the framework of GEMMA Project (GEneration IV Materials MAturity), it was organized the workshop “Ion and Neutron Irradiation of Nuclear Materials”. The goal of the workshop was to bring together the European and US scientific communities to discuss the present status of understanding the relationship between ion and neutron irradiation, from both a theoretical and experimental point of view. This is a crucial point for any future development of nuclear technology as a whole. In fact, materials qualification under a relevant neutron spectrum is a lengthy and costly process which inevitably leads to tens of years of research and costs in the range of millions of euros/dollars. Nowadays, this became an even more daunting issue, since there is no facility in the EU or US suitable to test materials under a fast fission spectrum, not to say a fusion one.
Aspirations and Farmers Investment Choices - An Investigation of Aspirations Failure in South Africa

Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: Recent literature in development and welfare economics tackles the interaction between aspirations and investment and their role in sustaining poverty. Our paper investigates this relationship by exploring income aspirations of emerging farmers and their investments in agriculture inputs in South Africa. It follows the theoretical approach introduced by Appadurai (2004) and Ray (2006) and employs a simplified version of the empirical model introduced by Janzen et al. (2017). We find no significant evidence of aspirations failure or the inverse-U shaped relationship that is predicted by the theory. Our analysis does not show any effects nor does it predict different hypothesis. We provide possible attributes for these outcomes, mainly on the design of the survey, type of investments, and motives behind engaging in small-scale agribusiness. Acknowledgement : We express our sincere gratitude to the Department of Agriculture Economics at the University of Stellenbosch, the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP), and the great team of enumerators for their dedication, for providing valuable insights and for assisting with the survey in the field.

description: Thermally-activated flux flow (TAFF) resistivity above the irreversibility field is reported for two different c-axis textured MgB_2 superconducting films. Transport measurements at different perpendicular magnetic fields 0 < B < 9 T and temperatures from 5 to 40K reveal TAFF Ohmic resistivity described by the Arrhenius law with the quadratic field dependence of the activation energy. Our transport measurements on bulk MgB_2 ceramic samples also show the TAFF behavior, but do not show the quadratic field dependence of U(T,B). We explain our results in terms of thermally-activated drift of pre-existing quenched dislocations in the vortex lattice. Our results indicate that thermal fluctuations can be essential in determining the irreversibility field in MgB2 though to a much lesser extent than in high-temperature superconductors.

description: Much of the work in loop quantum gravity and quantum geometry rests on a mathematically rigorous integration theory on spaces of distributional connections. Most notably, a diffeomorphism invariant representation of the algebra of basic observables of the theory, the Ashtekar-Isham-Lewandowski representation, has been constructed. Recently, several uniqueness results for this representation have been worked out. In the present article, we contribute to these efforts by showing that the AIL-representation is irreducible, provided it is viewed as the representation of a certain C*-algebra which is very similar to the Weyl algebra used in the canonical quantization of free quantum field theories.

description: We present a set of model-free, reduced-dimensional reinforcement learning (RL) based optimal control designs for linear time-invariant singularly perturbed (SP) systems. We first present a state-feedback and output-feedback based RL control design for a generic SP system with unknown state and input matrices. We take advantage of the underlying time-scale separation property of the plant to learn a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) for only its slow dynamics, thereby saving a significant amount of learning time compared to the conventional full-dimensional RL controller. We analyze the sub-optimality of the design using SP approximation theorems and provide sufficient conditions for closed-loop stability. Thereafter, we extend both designs to clustered multi-agent consensus networks, where the SP property reflects through clustering. We develop both centralized and cluster-wise block-decentralized RL controllers for such networks, in reduced dimensions. We demonstrate the details of the implementation of these controllers using simulations of relevant numerical examples and compare them with conventional RL designs to show the computational benefits of our approach.

description: Rangeland cattle production is the largest agricultural sector of Uruguay. It has shown a slow improvement in productivity over the last three decades. Ranches produce up to three products (beef, sheep-meat, and wool) usually combined into an equivalent meat index. A comparison between stochastic production frontier (SPF) and multi-output stochastic ray frontier (SRF) to estimate technical efficiency measures of ranches is used. The database comprises 70 ranches over a maximum of 3 years, totalizing 201 individual observations. We find that the average level of technical efficiency is 0.769 for SPF and 0.779 for SRF, which suggests that ranches can expand cattle production using the current level of inputs and production technology available. Moreover, technical efficiency is decreasing among the considered period. Acknowledgement :

We present a theory of an integrable solid-state quantum controlled-phase gate for generating entanglement of two photons using a coupled nanodot-microcavity-fiber structure. A conditional phase shift of $O(π/10)$ is calculated to be the consequence of the giant optical nonlinearity keyed by the excitons in the cavities. Structural design and active control, such as electromagnetic induced transparency and pulse shaping, optimize the quantum efficiency of the gate operation.

description: This dynamic, econometric approach extends a 1986 report that examined the effect of exchange rates, U.S. agricultural policy, and world income growth on U.S. wheat exports. This report confirms earlier results indicating that U.S. wheat exports are strongly influenced by changes in competitors' exchange rates and target prices, and little by changes in world income. An important difference from earlier findings is the longer time period over which exchange rate changes affect wheat exports. Export levels may not be fully affected by exchange rate changes until 4 years after the initial exchange rate change.
Reconstructing the dark energy equation of state with varying alpha

description: The possibility of reconstructing the dark energy equation of state from variations in the fine structure constant is investigated for a class of models where the quintessence field is non-minimally coupled to the electromagnetic field. For given classes of couplings and quintessence interaction potentials, it is typically found that variations in alpha would need to be measured to within an accuracy of at least $5 \times 10^{-7}$ to obtain a reconstructed equation of state with less than a twenty per cent deviation from the true equation of state between redshifts 0 and 3. In this case, it is argued that the sign of the first derivative of the equation of state can be uncovered from the reconstruction, thus providing unique information on how the universe developed into its present dark energy dominated phase independent of high redshift surveys. Such information would complement future observations anticipated from the Supernova Acceleration Probe.

In this paper we present a combinatorial description of the affine crystals B^{r,1} of type D_n^{(1)}. A statistic preserving bijection between crystal paths for these crystals and rigged configurations is given, thereby proving the fermionic formula in this case. This bijection reflects two different methods to solve lattice models in statistical mechanics: the corner-transfer-matrix method and the Bethe Ansatz.

description: The procedure to find gauge invariant variables for two-parameter nonlinear perturbations in general relativity is considered. For each order metric perturbation, we define the variable which is defined by the appropriate combination with lower order metric perturbations. Under the gauge transformation, this variable is transformed in the manner similar to the gauge transformation of the linear order metric perturbation. We confirm this up to third order. This implies that gauge invariant variables for higher order metric perturbations can be found by using a procedure similar to that for linear order metric perturbations. We also derive gauge invariant combinations for the perturbation of an arbitrary physical variable, other than the spacetime metric, up to third order.

description: We propose an extended Hubbard model on a 2D Kagome lattice with an additional ring-exchange term. The particles can be either bosons or spinless fermions . At a special filling fraction of 1/6 the model is analyzed in the lowest non-vanishing order of perturbation theory. Such ``undoped'' model is closely related to the Quantum Dimer Model. We show how to arrive at an exactly soluble point whose ground state manifold is the extensively degenerate ``d-isotopy space'', a necessary precondition for for a certain type of non-Abelian topological order. Near the ``special'' values, $d = 2 \cos π/(k+2)$, this space is expected to collapse to a stable topological phase with anyonic excitations closely related to SU(2) Chern-Simons theory at level k.

description: In the theory of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, one may recognize the domain space as the set of weakly semi-magic squares of size three. Two partitions on this set are considered: a triangle-hexagon model based on top lines, and one based on the orbits under a finite group action. In addition to giving another proof of McMahon's formula, we give a generating function that counts the so-called trivial zeros of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients and its associated quasi-polynomial.

description: Applying Baxter's method of the Q-operator to the set of Sekiguchi's commuting partial differential operators we show that Jack polynomials P(x_1,...,x_n) are eigenfunctions of a one-parameter family of integral operators Q_z. The operators Q_z are expressed in terms of the Dirichlet-Liouville n-dimensional beta integral. From a composition of n operators Q_{z_k} we construct an integral operator S_n factorising Jack polynomials into products of hypergeometric polynomials of one variable. The operator S_n admits a factorisation described in terms of restricted Jack polynomials P(x_1,...,x_k,1,...,1). Using the operator Q_z for z=0 we give a simple derivation of a previously known integral representation for Jack polynomials.

description: By employing a real-space formulation of the Kubo-Greenwood equation based on a Green's function embedding technique combined with the fully relativistic spin-polarized Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method a detailed investigation of the electrical transport through atomic-scaled contacts between two Au(001) semi-infinite systems is presented. Following a careful numerical test of the method the conductance of Au nanocontacts with different geometries is calculated. In particular, for a contact formed by a linear chain of Au atoms a conductance near 1 $G_{0}$ is obtained. The influence of transition metal impurities (Pd, Fe and Co) placed on various positions near the center of a particular contact is also studied. We found that the conductance is very sensitive to the position of the magnetic impurities and that the mechanism for the occurring relative changes can mainly be attributed to the impurities' minority $d$-band inducing resonant line-shapes in the $s$-like DOS at the center of the contact.

description: We report the experimental observation of tunable, non-reciprocal quantum transport of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a momentum lattice. By implementing a dissipative Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring in momentum space and sending atoms through it, we demonstrate a directional atom flow by measuring the momentum distribution of the condensate at different times. While the dissipative AB ring is characterized by the synthetic magnetic flux through the ring and the laser-induced loss on it, both the propagation direction and transport rate of the atom flow sensitively depend on these highly tunable parameters. We demonstrate that the non-reciprocity originates from the interplay of the synthetic magnetic flux and the laser-induced loss, which simultaneously breaks the inversion and the time-reversal symmetries. Our results open up the avenue for investigating non-reciprocal dynamics in cold atoms, and highlight the dissipative AB ring as a flexible building element for applications in quantum simulation and quantum information.

description: We explore the structure of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills correlators in the supergravity regime. We develop an algorithm to construct one-loop supergravity amplitudes of four arbitrary Kaluza-Klein supergravity states, properly dualised into single-particle operators. We illustrate this algorithm by constructing new explicit results for multi-channel correlation functions, and we show that correlators which are degenerate at tree level become distinguishable at one-loop. The algorithm contains a number of subtle features which have not appeared until now. In particular, we address the presence of non-trivial low twist protected operators in the OPE that are crucial for obtaining the correct one-loop results. Finally, we outline how the differential operators $\widehat{\mathcal{D}}_{pqrs}$ and $Δ^{(8)}$, which play a role in the context of the hidden 10d conformal symmetry at tree level, can be used to reorganise our one-loop correlators.

Touch? Speech? or Touch and Speech? Investigating Multimodal Interaction for Visual Network Exploration and Analysis

description: Interaction plays a vital role during visual network exploration as users need to engage with both elements in the view (e.g., nodes, links) and interface controls (e.g., sliders, dropdown menus). Particularly as the size and complexity of a network grow, interactive displays supporting multimodal input (e.g., touch, speech, pen, gaze) exhibit the potential to facilitate fluid interaction during visual network exploration and analysis. While multimodal interaction with network visualization seems like a promising idea, many open questions remain. For instance, do users actually prefer multimodal input over unimodal input, and if so, why? Does it enable them to interact more naturally, or does having multiple modes of input confuse users? To answer such questions, we conducted a qualitative user study in the context of a network visualization tool, comparing speech- and touch-based unimodal interfaces to a multimodal interface combining the two. Our results confirm that participants strongly prefer multimodal input over unimodal input attributing their preference to: 1) the freedom of expression, 2) the complementary nature of speech and touch, and 3) integrated interactions afforded by the combination of the two modalities. We also describe the interaction patterns participants employed to perform common network visualization operations and highlight themes for future multimodal network visualization systems to consider.

description: Strong light-matter interactions within nanoscale structures offer the possibility of optically controlling material properties. Motivated by the recent discovery of intrinsic long-range magnetic order in two-dimensional materials, which allows for the creation of novel magnetic devices of unprecedented small size, we predict that light can couple with magnetism and efficiently tune magnetic orders of monolayer ruthenium trichloride (RuCl3). First-principles calculations show that both free carriers and optically excited electron-hole pairs can switch monolayer RuCl3 from the proximate spin-liquid phase to a stable ferromagnetic phase. Specifically, a moderate electron-hole pair density (on the order of 10^13 cm-2) can significantly stabilize the ferromagnetic phase by 10 meV/f.u. in comparison to the zigzag phase, so that the predicted ferromagnetism can be driven by optical pumping experiments. Analysis shows that this magnetic phase transition is driven by a combined effect of doping-induced lattice strain and itinerant ferromagnetism. According to the Ising-model calculation, we find that the Curie temperature of the ferromagnetic phase can be increased significantly by raising carrier or electron-hole pair density. This enhanced opto-magnetic effect opens new opportunities to manipulate two-dimensional magnetism through non-contact, optical approaches.
