description: We report the results of a deep 3D imaging survey of the Hubble Deep Field North using the Taurus Tunable Filter and the William Herschel Telescope. This survey was designed to search for new line emitting populations of objects missed by other techniques and to measure the cosmic star-formation rate density from a line-selected survey. We observed in three contiguous sequences of narrow band slices in the 7100, 8100 and 9100A regions of the spectrum, corresponding to a cosmological volume of up to 1000 Mpc^3 at z=1, down to a flux limit of 2x 10^-17 ergs cm^-2 s^-1. The survey is deep enough to be highly complete for low line luminosity galaxies. Cross-matching with existing spectroscopy in the field results in a small line-luminosity limited sample, with very highly redshift identification completeness containing seven [OII], Hbeta and Halpha emitters over the redshift range 0.3 - 0.9. Treating this as a direct star-formation rate selected sample we estimate the star-formation history of the Universe to z=1. We find no evidence for any new population of line emitting objects contributing significantly to the cosmological star-formation rate density. Rather from our complete narrow-band sample we find the star-formation history is consistent with earlier estimates from broad-band imaging surveys and other less deep line-selected surveys.

Investigation into the adoption of business-to-business electronic marketplaces by purchasing managers : an institutional perspective
Creators: name: Zhang, Yali
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: By bringing dispersed buyers and sellers together through a business-to-business hub and allowing them to collaborate in real-time, business-to-business electronic marketplaces (B2B e-marketplaces) play an increasingly prominent role in fueling B2B e-commerce. Through the lens of institutional theory, this research investigates the critical factors motivating an organization's purchasing function in participating in B2B e-marketplaces. A cross-sectional mailed and online survey targeting high-level purchasing professionals were conducted to empirically test whether coercive, mimetic and normative pressures, as discussed in institutional theory, have a significant effect on an organization's legitimacy motive to participate in B2B e-marketplaces. The data collected were analyzed using PLS to assess measurement and structural model. Except for the "extent of adoption among suppliers", each of the institutional factors examined - perceived dominance of supplier adopters, extent of adoption among competitors, perceived success of competitor adopters and participation in industry trade or professional bodies - significantly influenced the legitimacy motive, which in turn influenced an organization's intent to adopt the use of B2B e-marketplaces. By providing strong support for institutional factors as predictors of B2B e-marketplace adoption, these findings substantiate the importance of institutional forces leading to electronic partnerships.

description: Policies that encourage the use of more efficiency irrigation technology are often viewed as effective, politically feasible methods to reduce the consumptive use of water for agricultural production. Despite their widespread use, these policies have not been subject to empirical evaluation. In this article, we evaluate the effect on groundwater extraction of a widespread conversion from traditional center pivot irrigation systems to higher efficiency dropped-nozzle center pivot systems that has occurred in western Kansas. State and national cost-share programs subsidized the conversion. We find that the programs have not had the intended effect; the shift to more efficient irrigation technology has not decreased the amount of water applied to a given crop, and has actually increased groundwater extraction through changing cropping patterns.

The Construction of the Dual Family of Gazeau-Klauder Coherent States via Temporally Stable Nonlinear Coherent States

description: Using the {\it analytic representation} of the so-called Gazeau-Klauder coherent states(CSs), we shall demonstrate that how a new class of generalized CSs namely the {\it family of dual states} associated with theses states can be constructed through viewing these states as {\it temporally stable nonlinear CSs}. Also we find that the ladder operators, as well as the displacement type operator corresponding to these two pairs of generalized CSs, may be easily obtained using our formalism, without employing the {\it supersymmetric quantum mechanics}(SUSYQM) techniques. Then, we have applied this method to some physical systems with known spectrum, such as Pöschl-Teller, infinite well, Morse potential and Hydrogen-like spectrum as some quantum mechanical systems. Finally, we propose the generalized form of Gazeau-Klauder CS and the corresponding dual family.

description: The KATRIN (Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino) experiment investigates the energetic endpoint of the tritium beta-decay spectrum to determine the effective mass of the electron anti-neutrino. The collaboration has reported a first mass measurement result at this TAUP-2019 conference. The TRISTAN project aims at detecting a keV-sterile neutrino signature by measuring the entire tritium beta-decay spectrum with an upgraded KATRIN system. One of the greatest challenges is to handle the high signal rates generated by the strong activity of the KATRIN tritium source while maintaining a good energy resolution. Therefore, a novel multi-pixel silicon drift detector and read-out system are being designed to handle rates of about 100 Mcps with an energy resolution better than 300 eV (FWHM). This report presents succinctly the KATRIN experiment, the TRISTAN project, then the results of the first 7-pixels prototype measurement campaign and finally describes the construction of the first TRISTAN module composed of 166 SDD-pixels as well as its implementation in KATRIN experiment.

description: This paper examines the dynamic effects of changes in the bilateral exchange rate on changes in the bilateral trade of bulk and consumer-oriented agricultural products between the U.S. and its 10 major trading partners. We find that, for consumer-oriented products, U.S. exports are highly sensitive to the bilateral exchange rate and foreign income in both the short- and long-run, while U.S. imports are mostly responsive to the U.S. domestic income. For bulk products, on the other hand, U.S. exports and imports are driven largely by the income of the U.S. and its trading partners and less by exchange rate changes in both the short- and long-run.

description: Accurate atmospheric parameters and chemical composition of stars play a vital role in characterizing physical parameters of exoplanetary systems and understanding of their formation. A full asteroseismic characterization of a star is also possible if its main atmospheric parameters are known. The NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) space telescope will play a very important role in searching of exoplanets around bright stars and stellar asteroseismic variability research. We have observed all 302 bright (V < 8 mag) and cooler than F5 spectral class stars in the northern TESS continuous viewing zone with a 1.65 m telescope at the Moletai Astronomical Observatory of Vilnius University and the high-resolution Vilnius University Echelle Spectrograph. We uniformly determined the main atmospheric parameters, ages, orbital parameters, velocity components, and precise abundances of 24 chemical species ( C(C2), N(CN), [O I], Na I, Mg I, Al I, Si I, Si II, Ca I, Ca II, Sc I, Sc II, Ti I, Ti II, V I, Cr I, Cr II, Mn I, Fe I, Fe II, Co I, Ni I, Cu I, and Zn I) for 277 slowly rotating single stars in the field. About 83 % of the sample stars exhibit the Mg/Si ratios greater than 1.0 and may potentially harbor rocky planets in their systems.

description: A two-layer quantum protocol for secure transmission of data using qubits is presented. The protocol is an improvement over the BB84 QKD protocol. BB84, in conjunction with the one-time pad algorithm, has been shown to be unconditionally secure. However it suffers from two drawbacks: (1) Its security relies on the assumption that Alice's qubit source is perfect in the sense that it does not inadvertently emit multiple copies of the same qubit. A multi-qubit emission attack can be launched if this assumption is violated. (2) BB84 cannot transfer predetermined keys; the keys it can distribute are generated in the process. Our protocol does not have these drawbacks. As in BB84, our protocol requires an authenticated public channel so as to detect an intruder's interaction with the quantum channel, but unlike in symmetric-key cryptography, the confidentiality of transmitted data does not rely on a shared secret key.

description: Functional connectivity expresses the correlation of brain activity between regions and helps understand and diagnose neurological conditions and disorders. It also provides discriminative features for machine learning classifiers. At the same time, no explanatory model exists for such classifiers to increase the trust in their actual application. The present contribution covers this gap. More than that,  our approach strives for explainability and collaboration with medical experts, starting from the model selection. We propose a model-agnostic method that produces realistic counterfactual functional connectomes by altering the posterior distribution of a hierarchical variational auto-encoder. We introduce a denoising method that adequately counteracts the effect of posterior collapse, a well-known problem in variational auto-encoders, and restores the original sharpness of the input. We evaluate it on three autism spectrum disorder classifiers for resting state fMRI and present quantitative and qualitative results. We propose two metrics, in addition to the standard success percentage, to test the calibration of our method and the reliability with which the counterfactuals fool the classifiers. We show that it is consistently successful and well-calibrated. We illustrate its application on example test cases, forming a visual basis for comparing the selected classifiers. The generated counterfactuals include plausible changes in line with medical literature and the brain's functional anatomy.

description: This paper examines the effects of the lumber price, the housing starts, and the bilateral exchange rate on U.S. softwood lumber imports from Canada in a cointegration framework. To that end, the Phillips-Hansen fully-modified cointegration (FM-OLS) procedure is applied to monthly data for the period from January 1994 through June 2009. Results show that there exists the long-run equilibrium relationship between the U.S. lumber imports from Canada and the selected macroeconomic and market variables. We also find that the U.S. lumber price and housing starts are more important than the bilateral exchange rate in influencing U.S.-Canada softwood lumber trade.

description: For all involved in astronomy, the importance of monitoring and determining astrophysical magnetic field strengths is clear. It is also a well-known fact that the corona magnetic fields play an important part in the origin of solar flares and the variations of space weather. However, after many years of solar corona studies, there is still no direct and continuous way to measure and monitor the solar magnetic field strength. We will here present a scheme which allows such a measurement, based on a careful study of an exotic class of atomic transitions known as magnetic induced transitions in Fe$^{9+}$. In this contribution we present a first application of this methodology and determine a value of the coronal field strength using the spectroscopic data from HINODE.

description: Electron-beam (e-beam) manipulation of single dopant atoms in an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope is emerging as a method for directed atomic motion and atom-by-atom assembly. Until now, the dopant species have been limited to atoms closely matched to carbon in terms of ionic radius and capable of strong covalent bonding with carbon atoms in the graphene lattice. In situ dopant insertion into a graphene lattice has thus far been demonstrated only for Si, which is ubiquitously present as a contaminant in this material. Here, we achieve in situ manipulation of Pt atoms and their insertion into the graphene host matrix using the e-beam deposited Pt on graphene as a host system. We further demonstrate a mechanism for stabilization of the Pt atom, enabled through the formation of Si-stabilized Pt heteroatomic clusters attached to the graphene surface. This study provides evidence toward the universality of the e-beam assembly approach, opening a pathway for exploring cluster chemistry through direct assembly.

Power-law distributions for the areas of the basins of attraction on a potential energy landscape

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Energy landscape approaches have become increasingly popular for analysing a wide variety of chemical physics phenomena. Basic to many of these applications has been the inherent structure mapping, which divides up the potential energy landscape into basins of attraction surrounding the minima. Here, we probe the nature of this division by introducing a method to compute the basin area distribution and applying it to some archetypal supercooled liquids. We find that this probability distribution is a power law over a large number of decades with the lower-energy minima having larger basins of attraction. Interestingly, the exponent for this power law is approximately the same as that for a high-dimensional Apollonian packing, providing further support for the suggestion that there is a strong analogy between the way the energy landscape is divided into basins, and the way that space is packed in self-similar, space-filling hypersphere packings, such as the Apollonian packing. These results suggest that the basins of attraction provide a fractal-like tiling of the energy landscape, and that a scale-free pattern of connections between the minima is a general property of energy landscapes.

description: A static, producer profit maximization framework is used to capture county level land use choice on the basis of profitability, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the farm gate as well as soil carbon sequestration as affected by tillage and soil type. Policy scenarios of a 5% GHG cap on agricultural emissions in conjunction with a carbon offset payment system, designed to provide producer payments for net carbon footprint (GHG emissions – soil carbon sequestration) reductions compared to a baseline are evaluated to determine potential changes to land use and or producer income as a result of different policy scenarios. Results suggest that a policy solely targeted at emissions can be counterproductive in the sense that acreage reductions of more input-intensive crops also lead to soil carbon sequestration reductions. Producer income effects are largely negative unless carbon prices reach nearly $100 per ton.
Approximating a Target Distribution using Weight Queries

description: We consider a novel challenge: approximating a distribution without the ability to randomly sample from that distribution. We study how such an approximation can be obtained using *weight queries*. Given some data set of examples, a weight query presents one of the examples to an oracle, which returns the probability, according to the target distribution, of observing examples similar to the presented example. This oracle can represent, for instance, counting queries to a database of the target population, or an interface to a search engine which returns the number of results that match a given search. We propose an interactive algorithm that iteratively selects data set examples and performs corresponding weight queries. The algorithm finds a reweighting of the data set that approximates the weights according to the target distribution, using a limited number of weight queries. We derive an approximation bound on the total variation distance between the reweighting found by the algorithm and the best achievable reweighting. Our algorithm takes inspiration from the UCB approach common in multi-armed bandits problems, and combines it with a new discrepancy estimator and a greedy iterative procedure. In addition to our theoretical guarantees, we demonstrate in experiments the advantages of the proposed algorithm over several baselines. A python implementation of the proposed algorithm and of all the experiments can be found at https://github.com/Nadav-Barak/AWP.

We obtain an exact expression for the induced current due to an external constant electric field normal to the boundary. We show that, for the particular case of 2+1 dimensions, there is a transverse component for the induced current, which is localized on a region close to $\partial{\mathcal M}$. This current is a parity breaking effect purely due to the boundary.

It was found that the relative energy resolution of the spectrometer depends on the angle of entry of cosmic muons into the spectrometer in the vertical plane and does not depend on the angle of entry in the horizontal plane. The relative energy resolution of the spectrometer was 16%. Placing an additional lead-scintillation assembly in front of the spectrometer improved the relative energy resolution of the spectrometer to 9%.

psychiatrischen Wohnheim den Recovery-Prozess psychisch erkrankter Menschen
unterstützen können. Insbesondere wird geprüft, inwiefern der lösungs- und
kompetenzorientierte Ansatz hierbei Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten bietet, indem
er mit dem Recovery-Ansatz verglichen wird. Der Vergleich der beiden Ansätze
zeigt, dass sie auf unterschiedlichen theoretischen Fundamenten beruhen.
Gemeinsamkeiten sind darin ersichtlich, dass die beiden Ansätze auf gleichen
Grundhaltungen und einem ähnlichen Rollenverständnis basieren. Der lösungsund
kompetenzorientierte Ansatz bietet im Vergleich zum Recovery-Ansatz eine
grosse Auswahl an Techniken, die Fachpersonen nutzen können. Bei diesen
Techniken steht der positive Fokus im Zentrum, der Blick ist lösungs- und nicht
problemfokussiert und es wird nach Ressourcen und nicht nach Defiziten gesucht.
In dieser Arbeit werden ausgewählte lösungs- und kompetenzorientierte
Techniken vorgestellt und ihre Nützlichkeit als Ergänzung zum Recovery-Ansatz
dargestellt. Um die Fragestellung dieser Arbeit zu beantworten, werden die
Erkenntnisse des Vergleichs auf die Rahmenbedingungen eines psychiatrischen
Wohnheims übertragen und auf ihre Anwendbarkeit geprüft. Solange sich
Klient:innen innerhalb der geltenden Rahmenbedingungen bewegen, bietet der
lösungs- und kompetenzorientierte Ansatz verschiedene Möglichkeiten, den
Recovery-Prozess psychisch erkrankter Menschen zu unterstützen. Auf
ausgewählte Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten sowie auf Herausforderungen und
Grenzen wird in dieser Arbeit eingegangen.

description: A survey of organic grain and oilseed producers in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin was conducted to collect information about their demographic characteristics, production and price risk management strategies, yields and losses, and crop insurance decisions. The data are analyzed using a discrete choice model to establish which variables influence organic producers’ decision of whether to purchase crop insurance and also which ones affect the insurance product choice when applicable. The study describes the risk profiles of organic producers, and analyzes whether significant variations exist between organic and conventional methods of production so as to quantitatively determine the differential production risk associated with organic production. This research may contribute to the design of an organic crop insurance policy in which organic producers would be charged according to their idiosyncratic production risks, rather than the arbitrary 5% blanket premium surcharge currently in use.

description: We show that (1) the violation of the Ekert 91 inequality is a sufficient condition for certification of the Kochen-Specker (KS) theorem, and (2) the violation of the Bennett-Brassard-Mermin 92 (BBM) inequality is, also, a sufficient condition for certification of the KS theorem. Therefore the success in each QKD protocol reveals the nonclassical feature of quantum theory, in the sense that the KS realism is violated. Further, it turned out that the Ekert inequality and the BBM inequality are depictured by distillable entanglement witness inequalities. Here, we connect the success in these two key distribution processes into the no-hidden-variables theorem and into witness on distillable entanglement. We also discuss the explicit difference between the KS realism and Bell's local realism in the Hilbert space formalism of quantum theory.

description: As a simple cubic system with only one f electron per cerium ion, CeB6 is of model character to investigate the interplay of orbital phenomena with magnetism. It is also a textbook example of a compound that exhibits magnetically hidden order -- a low-temperature magnetic phase with ordered quadrupolar moments. It is difficult to identify the symmetry of such hidden-order states in common x-ray or neutron scattering experiments, as there is no signal in zero field, however alternative techniques like neutron diffraction in external field, resonant x-ray scattering, or ultrasonic investigations can be applied. Another possible method for characterizing hidden order is to look at the magnetic excitation spectrum, which carries the imprint of the multipolar interactions and the hidden order parameter in its dispersion relations. Using a specific candidate model, the dispersion is calculated and then compared to that measured with inelastic neutron scattering. Until recently, only a limited amount of data which show the presence of dispersing excitations measured along a few high-symmetry directions in an applied magnetic field were available. Early attempts to compare such calculations with experiments showed that only strongest modes at high-symmetry points could be identified. The present review of the most recent neutron-scattering results is intended to satisfy the need of more accurate inelastic neutron-scattering experiments as a function of field and temperature, giving us the opportunity to identify existing excitation branches in CeB6 and conclusively compare them with the theoretically predicted multipolar excitations.

description: This paper presents the poverty analysis of the 1997-98 Malawi Integrated Household Survey. The analysis developed basic needs poverty lines, using consumption-based measures of welfare to classify households and individuals as poor and nonpoor. Because consumption data were not of uniform quality across sample households, the analysis made adjustments to derive a more accurate assessment of the incidence of poverty across the country. The analysis provides poverty and inequality estimates for Malawi's population. About 65 percent were unable to meet their basic needs, and poverty was deep and pervasive. The distribution of household welfare was closely examined within the context of the Malawi Poverty Reduction Strategy to guide government action in helping poor households improve their own well-being.

description: New GALEX observations have detected significant FUV (1530 Angstroms) and NUV (2310 Angstroms) emission from stellar substructures within the tidal tails of four ongoing galaxy mergers. The UV-bright regions are optically faint and are coincident with HI density enhancements. FUV emission is detected at any location where the HI surface density exceeds ~2 M_sun pc^{-2}, and is often detected in the absence of visible wavelength emission. UV luminosities of the brighter regions of the tidal tails imply masses of 10^6 M_sun to ~10^9 M_sun in young stars in the tails, and HI luminosities imply similar HI masses. UV-optical colors of the tidal tails indicate stellar populations as young as a few Myr, and in all cases ages < 400Myr. Most of the young stars in the tails formed in single bursts rather than resulting from continuous star formation, and they formed *in situ* as the tails evolved. Star formation appears to be older near the parent galaxies and younger at increasing distances from the parent galaxy. This could be because the star formation occurs progressively along the tails, or because the star formation has been inhibited near the galaxy/tail interface. The youngest stellar concentrations, usually near the ends of long tidal tails, have masses comparable to confirmed tidal dwarf galaxies and may be newly forming galaxies undergoing their first burst of star formation.

description: We have carried out a deep narrow-band imaging survey of six fields with heavy-element quasar absorption lines, using the Goddard Fabry-Perot (FP) system at the Apache Point Observatory (APO) 3.5-meter telescope. The aim of these observations was to search for redshifted Ly-$α$ emission from the galaxies underlying the absorbers at $z = 2.3-2.5$ and their companion galaxies. The 3 $σ$ sensitivity levels ranged between $1.9 \times 10^{-17}$ and $5.4 \times 10^{-17}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ in observed-frame Ly-$α$ flux. No significant Ly-$α$ emitters were detected at $> 3 σ$ level. The absence of significant Ly-$α$ emission implies limits on the star formation rate (SFR) of 0.9-2.7 $M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ per 2-pixel x 2-pixel region, if no dust attenuation is assumed. We compare our results with those from other emission-line studies of absorber fields and with predictions for global average SFR based on the models of cosmic chemical evolution. Our limits are among the tightest existing constraints on Ly-$α$ emission from galaxies in absorber fields, but are consistent with many other studies. In the absence of dust attenuation, these studies suggest that SFRs in a large fraction of objects in the absorber fields may lie below the global mean SFR. However, it is possible that dust attenuation is responsible for the low emission line fluxes in some objects. It is also possible that the star-forming regions are compact and at smaller angular separations from the quasar than the width of our point spread function and, get lost in the quasar emission. We outline future observations that could help to distinguish between the various possibilities.

$X_0(2866)$ as a $D^*\bar{K}^*$ molecular state

description: Very recently the LHCb Collaboration reported the discovery of two open charm tetraquark states, $X_{0}(2866)$ and $X_{1}(2904)$. In the present work, we study the $D^{(\ast)}$ and $\bar{K}^{(\ast)}$ interaction in the one-boson exchange model and show that the $X_{0}(2866)$ can be understood as a $D^{\ast}\bar{K}^{\ast}$ molecule with $I(J^{P})=0(0^{+})$, or at least it has a large molecular component. On the other hand, the $X_{1}(2904)$ can not be interpreted as a molecular state. Inspired by the discovery of the $X_0(2866)$ and the fact that the $D^*\bar{K}^*$ interaction is strong enough to generate a bound state, we also discuss likely existence of other open charm molecules. In the meson-meson sector, two molecules near the mass thresholds of $DD^{\ast}$ and $D^{\ast}D^{\ast}$ with $I(J^{P})=0(1^{+})$ are obtained, and using the heavy quark flavor symmetry their $\bar{B}\bar{B}^{\ast}$ and $\bar{B}^{\ast}\bar{B}^{\ast}$ counterparts are also predicted. In the meson-baryon sector, 7 open charm molecules with $I=1/2$ near the mass thresholds of $D^{(\ast)}Σ_{c}^{(\ast)}$ naturally appear, as dictated by the heavy quark spin symmetry.

description: A multi-factor capital asset pricing model is used to examine the return characteristics of physical assets comprising the farm asset portfolio. Physical assets analyzed are: 1) farm real estate; 2) machinery and motor vehicles; 3) crops stored on farm; and 4) livestock and poultry. Results for the years 1950-1990 indicate that unexpected inflation is more appropriate than the more commonly used realized inflation factor; and that the systematic risk component to these asset classes is, in general, low. Further, excess returns measures are significant for farmland, machinery, and crops stores on farm but not for livestock and poultry.
