description: Higgs bundles are a central tool used to study a range of intersecting brane systems in string compactifications. Solutions to the internal gauge theory equations of motion for the corresponding worldvolume theories of branes give rise to different low energy effective field theories. This has been heavily used in the study of M-theory on local $G_2$ spaces and F-theory on local elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfolds. In this paper we show that the 3D $\mathcal{N} = 1$ effective field theory defined by M-theory on a local $Spin(7)$ space unifies the Higgs bundle data associated with 4D $\mathcal{N} = 1$ M- and F-theory vacua. This 3D system appears as an interface with finite thickness between different 4D vacua. We develop the general formalism of M-theory on such local $Spin(7)$ spaces, and build explicit interpolating solutions. This provides a complementary local gauge theory analysis of a recently proposed approach to constructing $Spin(7)$ spaces from generalized connected sums.

description: Given the expansive water consumption of the agricultural sector in the western United States, irrigation practices have increasingly been restricted as a way to combat water scarcity. Using segment-level panel data on land values and irrigation status, we measure the extent to which irrigation restrictions are capitalized into irrigated and nonirrigated cropland values in Nebraska. On average, irrigation restrictions did not have a measurable impact on farmland values across 1999–2012. However, our results show that the effects of the restrictions vary considerably over time and that basins that were more dependent on irrigation were disproportionately impacted by the restrictions.

description: Understanding individual discounting behavior of future costs and benefits is critical for designing environmental policy. Although there is some empirical evidence of hyperbolic discounting, others have found that exponential discounting is more accurate when behavioral factors are properly considered. Further, there is little research on how environmental discount rates differ from monetary rates. We use experimental methods to determine how individuals discount monetary and environmental goods. Our findings suggest that individual discounting behavior is approximately exponential, environmental goods are discounted at lower rates than monetary goods, and discount rates vary widely across environmental goods when accounting for appropriate behavioral factors.

description: Phase formation and transitions in platinum silicide films on polycrystalline Si in the process of Pt magnetron sputtering and heat treatments at different temperatures are studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. Phases of amorphous and polycrystalline Pt$_3$Si and Pt$_2$Si are shown to form during the room-temperature Pt deposition on poly-Si beneath the Pt layer. The relaxation of the interfacial film and partial transformation of Pt$_3$Si into Pt$_2$Si occurs as a result of the thermal treatment for 30 minutes in the temperature range from 125 to 300$^{\circ}$C. The Pt$_3$Si and Pt$_2$Si phases crystallize to PtSi due to annealing at the temperatures from 320 to 480$^{\circ}$C for the same time period.

BANNATYNE'S RECATEGORIZATION OF THE WISC-R SUBTEST SCORES: INDICATIVE OF LEARNING DISABILITIES?

description: This study focused on whether Bannatyne's profile affects the learning efficiency in reading or math of learning disabled students. The sample of eighty children was obtained by sending letters to the parents of children in special classes for the learning disabled in a large, suburban school district. The WISC-R and achievement data, which were obtained from the students' records, were analyzed when the students were first placed and again three years later. In studying the relationship of Bannatyne's profile and learning efficiency, several questions were investigated. (1) Did a significant proportion of the sample display Bannatyne's profile? Using Chi-square analysis and confidence intervals, it was determined that the proportion of students who displayed Bannatyne's profile exceeded that which would have been expected by chance occurrence. However, this proportion never exceeded thirty-three percent. Thus Bannatyne's profile did not characterize the sample. (2) After three years, did the WISC-R scores change in such a way as to affect the stability of Bannatyne's profile? Using the Phi correlation coefficient, it was determined that Bannatyne's profile was not stable. (3) Did the Bannatyne Profile Present group differ in learning efficiency in reading or math from the Bannatyne Profile Absent group? Using t-tests of means, it was determined that there were not significant differences in the IQ's or learning efficiencies of the two groups. (4) Did the students who displayed Bannatyne's profile at both points in time differ in growth in learning efficiency from the students who displayed Bannatyne's profile at only one point in time or not at all? Using Analysis of Variance it was determined that there were no significant differences in the growth rates of the groups. In conclusion, Bannatyne's profile did not characterize the sample and was not indicative of diminished learning efficiency. In addition to the questions concerning Bannatyne's profile, the use of a mathematical formula for determining whether a student exhibited a severe discrepancy between potential and achievement was examined. Initially only twenty-nine percent of the sample exhibited a severe discrepancy; three years later fifty-two percent did. The problems inherent in the formula and the implications for its use are discussed.

description: We study an ill-posed linear inverse problem, where a binary sequence will be reproduced using a sparce matrix. According to the previous study, this model can theoretically provide an optimal compression scheme for an arbitrary distortion level, though the encoding procedure remains an NP-complete problem. In this paper, we focus on the consistency condition for a dynamics model of Markov-type to derive an iterative algorithm, following the steps of Thouless-Anderson-Palmer's. Numerical results show that the algorithm can empirically saturate the theoretical limit for the sparse construction of our codes, which also is very close to the rate-distortion function.

description: Although several studies have estimated economic impacts of antimicrobials for growth promotion, little is known about economic impacts of the common animal health management strategy known as metaphylaxis: administering antimicrobials to groups of animals to prevent disease. This article develops a new framework to map animal disease to producer profitability and determine societal economic impacts surrounding metaphylactic use of antimicrobials in beef cattle production. Results indicate the direct net return value of metaphylaxis to the U.S. fed cattle industry is at least $532 million. Beef producer surplus losses of $1.8 billion would be associated with eliminating metaphylaxis.

description: We estimate a model that allows consumers’ food demand to depend on both the health effects and the consumption experience generated by the consumption of nutrients contained in food. We use home scan data of food purchases from approximately 2,500 Danish consumers enriched with nutrient content information. More-educated consumers have healthier diets than those with less education, and we find that this is explained by differences in how these groups value the consumption experience associated with nutrients, not by differences in their health valuation of nutrients.

description: Quantum teleportation of qudits is revisited. In particular, we analyze the case where the quantum channel corresponds to a non-maximally entangled state and show that the success of the protocol is directly related to the problem of distinguishing non-orthogonal quantum states. The teleportation channel can be seen as a coherent superposition of two channels, one of them being a maximally entangled state thus, leading to perfect teleportation and the other, corresponding to a non-maximally entangled state living in a subspace of the d-dimensional Hilbert space. The second channel leads to a teleported state with reduced fidelity. We calculate the average fidelity of the process and show its optimality.

description: Binarized neural networks (BNNs) have shown exciting potential for utilising neural networks in embedded implementations where area, energy and latency constraints are paramount. With BNNs, multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations can be simplified to XnorPopcount operations, leading to massive reductions in both memory and computation resources. Furthermore, multiple efficient implementations of BNNs have been reported on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementations. This paper proposes a smaller, faster, more energy-efficient approximate replacement for the XnorPopcountoperation, called XNorMaj, inspired by state-of-the-art FPGAlook-up table schemes which benefit FPGA implementations. Weshow that XNorMaj is up to 2x more resource-efficient than the XnorPopcount operation. While the XNorMaj operation has a minor detrimental impact on accuracy, the resource savings enable us to use larger networks to recover the loss.

BABOON ENDOGENOUS VIRUS GENOMES IN OLD WORLD PRIMATES: EVIDENCE FOR INFECTION POSTSPECIATION
Creators: name: Josephs, Steven F.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Restriction enzyme maps were determined for the unintegrated DNA of two strains of baboon endogenous virus, 455K and M7. These were isolated from two closely related species, Papio anubis and Papio cynocephalus. Of the seven restriction enzymes used, EcoRI, HindIII, PvuII, and XhoI gave conserved cleavage patterns for both genotypes. XhoI cleaved within 400 nucleotides from both ends of the linear forms. However, the cleavage sites for BamHI, SalI, and BclI were indistinguishable for the two virus genomes. In addition to the linear 455K proviral DNA molecules which contained a direct terminal repeat of 0.6 (+OR-) 0.2 kilobases, two discrete species of circular proviral intermediates were also detected. One corresponded in size to the linear viral DNA molecules, and the other had a deletion of 600 base pairs which mapped in the region of the 3'-5' joint XhoI fragment. This deletion is probably equivalent to one unit of large terminal repeat sequences (LTR). Examination of the integrated proviruses in heterologous cells infected with M7 and 455K showed their integration to be colinear with the unintegrated linear viral genomes and that the proviruses retained both copies of LTR. The sites of integration were multiple in uncloned cells. Cloned cells were examined and found to contain three to five proviruses. Comparative restriction endonuclease analysis of BaEV DNA in Asian and African species of Old World monkeys revealed at least two classes of virogenes; one class includes genotypes found among all Old World monkeys with no apparent correlation to their phylogeny or geographical habitat. These either represent virogenes that were introduced early before speciation of the Old World monkey or proviruses of a more recent widespread infection. Another class contains genotypes that are distinct for African and Asian primates. Instead of a more rapid "divergence" of BaEV genes in Asian primates as previously proposed, these data are more consistent with prevalence of different strains of BaEV of this class in different geographical areas.

description: This paper examines the effects of interest group Political Action Committee (PAC) spending on the passage of the Agricultural Act of 2014. I use a mixed-process model to examine correlations between ideology, constituent characteristics, and PAC contributions by agricultural and environmental interests and the probability that a legislator voted in favor of the act. I find a positive association between agricultural and environmental PAC contributions and the probability that a legislator voted in favor of the act. Further, I find that legislators representing relatively large rural populations were more likely to vote in favor of the act.

When there is an isotropy in the plane of the slab, we find an explicit exact solution that matches with the Rindler and Weyl-Levi-Civita spacetimes outside the slab. We also show that there are solutions that can be matched with general anisotropic Kasner spacetime outside the slab. In any case, it is impossible to avoid the presence of the Kasner type singularities in contrast to the well-known case of spherical symmetry, where by matching the internal Schwarzschild solution with the external one, the singularity in the center of coordinates can be eliminated.

We present a model of a thermal spin state entering a beam splitter generating entanglement. It is the truncation of the state that allows for entanglement generation. The output entanglement is investigated for different temperatures and it is found that more randomness - in the form of higher temperature - is better for this set up.

description: Milk production methods and pasture usage have gained increasing attention in recent years. This paper studies possible influences on the decision to adopt grazing practices as well as on the extent of these practices. German dairy farms were analyzed using a multivariate sample-selection model. Results indicate that specialized farms and farms with greater pasture acreage per cow are more likely to adopt grazing practices; farms with larger herds are less likely to adopt. For farmers utilizing grazing, length of daily pasture access depends on production-related variables, while the annual period depends only on farm specialization.

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We develop a simple formalism of biased tracers that we dub $\mathit{Monkey\ bias}$. In this formalism, a biased tracer field is constructed directly in terms of the linear matter fluctuation field and the set of derivative operators acting on it. Such bias expansion is first organized based on the general structure of non-linear dynamical equations for the biased tracers. Further physical conditions, like the equivalence principle, are imposed on tree-level correlators utilising the consistency relations. We obtain the bias expansion up to the third-order in linear matter fluctuation in the generalized $Λ$CDM background, which reproduces the previous results in the limit of the EdS universe. This algorithmic construction of our bias operator basis is well suited for extensions towards higher-order bias fields. Moreover, this formalism reveals that biased tracer dynamics in generalized $Λ$CDM background is not entirely degenerate with the rest of bias parameters, thus opening a possibility of testing the background cosmology through the observations of biased tracers.

description: Liquid Metal Batteries (LMBs) are a promising grid-scale energy storage technology that offer low costs per kilowatt-hour, high energy and current densities, as well as low fade rates. The all-liquid composition of the batteries, as well as the presence of temperature gradients and electric and magnetic fields, result in the occurrence of multiple fluid phenomena. These can affect the hydrodynamic stability of the battery, thereby making their interactions critical to understand. In this work, the interaction of Rayleigh-Bénard convection and Electro-vortex flow is investigated as these types of flow will be present in Liquid Metal Batteries from laboratory to grid-scale. A single-layer electrode is simulated, and the computed results compared with experimental data from the literature. It was found that Rayleigh-Bénard convection is unsteady in the liquid metal electrode. The introduction of a 2 A current stabilises the convection cells, whilst the introduction of a 40 A current leads to the dominance of Electro-vortex flow at the central region of the electrode. The results in this work matching experimental data closer than previously published models offering insight into the interaction between Rayleigh-Bénard convection and Electro-vortex flow in the anodes of discharging Liquid Metal Batteries.

description: Ultra-compact massive galaxies UCMGs, i.e. galaxies with stellar masses $M_{*} > 8 \times 10^{10} M_{\odot}$ and effective radii $R_{e} < 1.5$ kpc, are very rare systems, in particular at low and intermediate redshifts. Their origin as well as their number density across cosmic time are still under scrutiny, especially because of the paucity of spectroscopically confirmed samples. We have started a systematic census of UCMG candidates within the ESO Kilo Degree Survey, together with a large spectroscopic follow-up campaign to build the largest possible sample of confirmed UCMGs. This is the third paper of the series and the second based on the spectroscopic follow-up program. Here, we present photometrical and structural parameters of 33 new candidates at redshifts $0.15 \lesssim z \lesssim 0.5$ and confirm 19 of them as UCMGs, based on their nominal spectroscopically inferred $M_{*}$ and $R_{e}$. This corresponds to a success rate of $\sim 58\%$, nicely consistent with our previous findings. The addition of these 19 newly confirmed objects, allows us to fully assess the systematics on the system selection, and finally reduce the number density uncertainties. Moreover, putting together the results from our current and past observational campaigns and some literature data, we build the largest sample of UCMGs ever collected, comprising 92 spectroscopically confirmed objects at $0.1 \lesssim z \lesssim 0.5$. This number raises to 116, allowing for a $3σ$ tolerance on the $M_{*}$ and $R_{e}$ thresholds for the UCMG definition. For all these galaxies we have estimated the velocity dispersion values at the effective radii which have been used to derive a preliminary mass-velocity dispersion correlation.

description: We demonstrate the existence of universal features in the finite-time thermodynamics of quantum machines by considering a many-body quantum Otto cycle in which the working medium is driven across quantum critical points during the unitary strokes. Specifically, we consider a quantum engine powered by dissipative energizing and relaxing baths. We show that under very generic conditions, the output work is governed by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, i.e., it exhibits a universal power-law scaling with the driving speed through the critical points. We also optimize the finite-time thermodynamics as a function of the driving speed. The maximum power and the corresponding efficiency take a universal form, and are reached for an optimal speed that is governed by the critical exponents. We exemplify our results by considering a transverse-field Ising spin chain as the working medium. For this model, we also show how the efficiency and power vary as the engine becomes critical.

description: The study's purpose was: to ascertain the attitudes of Collegiate Coordinators for Disabled Students (CCDS) toward disabled persons, as measured by the Attitude Towards Disabled Persons Scale-O (ATDP-O), to determine the relationship between the identified attitudes and each of six personal and/or educational characteristics (age, sex, marital status, highest academic degree attained, number of college courses completed related to the needs of disabled students, and frequency of personal face-to-face interactions with disabled students over the past twelve months, and to interpret the findings for their implication regarding the selection and training of prospective CCDS. The study population, 409 CCDS holding membership in the Association for Handicapped Student Service Programs in Post-Secondary Education, were mailed two research instruments: The Personal Data Inventory and the Attitude Towards Disabled Persons Scale-O, (ATDP-O). A total of 329 sets were returned satisfactorily completed, yielding a net return rate of 81%. The statistical treatment employed was Student's t test; the alpha level was .01. Of the six hypotheses, two were supported and four were not supported. A statistically significant difference was found between the mean ATDP-O scores for the CCDS when categorized by sex and when categorized by age. The female CCDS' significantly higher score indicates that female CCDS are inclined to have more positive attitudes toward disabled persons than their male counterparts. The mean ATDP-O score for CCDS who are forty or older, suggesting CCDS below age forty tend to hold more accepting attitudes toward disabled persons than their colleagues forty or older. Four hypotheses were not supported. No statistically significant difference was found between the mean ATDP-O scores for the CCDS when categorized by: marital status, academic preparation, number of completed college courses on disabled student needs, and number of daily face-to-face interactions with disabled students. The mean ATDP-O mean score for the CCDS was significantly higher than the ATDP-O mean score for the normative reference group (nondisabled adult men and women) suggesting that the CCDS are significantly more accepting toward disabled persons than are adults in general.

Does Sub-Barrier Bremsstrahlung in alpha-decay of 210Po Exist?

description: A quantum mechanical model for the description of the alpha-decay of heavy nuclei with accompanying photons emission is presented. The model is based on a quantum mechanical one-particle model of alpha-decay through a decay barrier. The bremsstrahlung spectrum calculation employs multipole expansion of the vector potential of the Coulomb field of the daughter nucleus and takes into account the dependence on the angle between the directions of the alpha-particle propagation and the photon emission. Spectra of 210Po are obtained for the angles 25 and 90, and the best agreement with the experimental data in the 90 case in a comparison with other existing models is achieved. From the angular analysis, the model gives monotonic behavior of the bremsstrahlung spectrum for any value of the angle. We find that sub-barrier photon emission (i. e. bremsstrahlung photon emission during alpha-particle tunneling through decay barrier) exists but gives a small contribution to the total bremsstrahlung spectrum.
