description: Smallholder farmers in many areas of the semiarid tropics are planting exotic tree species that provide alternative income sources, fuel, and building materials. While providing other benefits, these trees often occupy land that could produce annual food crops. This study uses a polyperiod, linear programming model to explore the opportunity cost of planting Eucalyptus grandis and Grevillea robusta trees compared to crops in the Nyando watershed of western Kenya. Results of the ten year period wealth maximization model suggest that a representative farmer’s decisions on farm resource allocation are sensitive to changes in the relative prices of short rotation tree products and annual crops. The model also suggests that there are economic tradeoffs between planting trees and crops, as well as between planting different tree species. Timber production is not likely to replace food crops for two main reasons: (1) the high cost of meeting household subsistence requirements from marketed grains, (2) household cash flow needs met by annual crops. Farmers plant eucalyptus for commercial purposes because they can obtain timber products within four years; however if the prices of these short rotation products go down, farmers will prefer to grow timber from high yield grevillea.

description: We consider a scenario where the dark sector includes two Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMPs), with couplings to the Standard Model particles that allow their production in the Early Universe via thermal freeze-in. These couplings generically lead to the decay of the heavier dark matter component into the lighter, possibly leading to observable signals of the otherwise elusive FIMPs. Concretely, we argue that the loop induced decay $ψ_2\rightarrowψ_1γ$ for fermionic FIMPs, or $ϕ_2\rightarrowϕ_1γγ$ for scalar FIMPs, could have detectable rates for model parameters compatible with the observed dark matter abundance.

description: Binary and multiple star systems are extreme environments for the formation and long-term presence of extrasolar planets. Circumstellar planets are subject to gravitational perturbations from the distant companion star, and this interaction leads to a long-period precession of their orbits. We investigate analytical models that allow to quantify these perturbations and calculate the secular precession frequency in the dynamical model of the restricted three-body problem. These models are applied to test cases and we discuss some of their shortcomings. In addition, we introduce a modified Laplace-Lagrange model which allows to obtain better frequency estimates than the traditional model for large eccentricities of the perturber. We then generalize this model to any number of perturbers, and present an application to the four-body problem.

description: We investigate the effects of spin-polarized leads on the Kondo physics of a quantum dot using the numerical renormalization group method. Our study demonstrates in an unambiguous way that the Kondo effect is not necessarily suppressed by the lead polarization: While the Kondo effect is quenched for the asymmetric Anderson model, it survives even for finite polarizations in the regime where charge fluctuations are negligible. We propose the linear tunneling magnetoresistance as an experimental signature of these behaviors. We also report on the influence of spin-flip processes.

description: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing major health emergency, but its occurrence and clinical impact on patients withliver cirrhosis is unknown. Therefore, we conducted a population-based study of 2.6 million Danish citizens investigating the occurrence and impact of COVID-19 in patients with liver cirrhosis. A prospective population-based cohort study was conducted in the Capital Region of Denmark and Region Zealand in the study period between 1 March 2020 up until 31 May 2020, with the only eligibility criteria being a reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for presence of viral genomic material confirming COVID-19. The patients were subsequently stratified according to presence of pre-existing liver cirrhosis. Among 575,935 individuals tested, 1713 patients had a diagnosis of cirrhosis. COVID-19 occurredsignificantly lessamongpatients with cirrhosis (n = 15; 0.9%, p < .01) compared with the population without cirrhosis (n = 10,593; 1.8%). However, a large proportion (n = 6;40.0%) required a COVID-19 related hospitalization which was correlated with higher values of alanine aminotransferase (p < .01) and lactate dehydrogenase (p = .04). In addition, one-in-three (n = 2; 13.3%) required intensive therapy. Four patients died (26.7%) and mortality was associated with higher MELD scores, co-existing type 2 diabetes, and bacterial superinfections. In conclusion, patientswith cirrhosis may have a lower risk of COVID-19; but a higher risk of complications hereto and mortality.

description: This work deals with the presence and stability of thick brane solutions in the warped five dimensional braneworld scenario with a single extra spatial dimension of infinite extent. We combine two distinct procedures that give rise to new possibilities, allowing that we describe models of asymmetric thick branes, with the asymmetry being controlled by a single real parameter. We illustrate the main results with some distinct models, which show that the method works for both standard and generalized models, and the solutions are gravitationally stable against small perturbations of the metric.

description: Past farm policies have not encouraged a sustainable agriculture in the U. S. However, the 1985 and 1990 farm bills began to move in a more supportive direction, and the Clinton Administration has promised a new commitment to sustainability. There are several reasons why past policies have not fostered sustainability, such as prevailing beliefs and values of our society, resistance from the conventional agriculture community, different meanings of sustainability and ways to achieve it, and lack of facts and information about it. Time, new knowledge, and understanding are now lowering many of these barriers. But full support for a sustainable agriculture could await fundamental changes in the beliefs and values of our society which now run counter to the meaning of sustainability.

description: A scanning force microscope with a base temperature below 300 mK is used for measuring the local electron density of a two-dimensional electron gas embedded in an Ga[Al]As heterostructure. At different separations between AFM tip and sample, a dc-voltage is applied between the tip and the electron gas while simultaneously recording the frequency shift of the oscillating tip. Using a plate capacitor model the local electron density can be extracted from the data. The result coincides within 10% with the data obtained from transport measurements.

description: We report precision measurements of the Casimir interaction at larger separation distances between the Au-coated surfaces of a sphere and a plate in ultrahigh vacuum using a much softer cantilever of the dynamic atomic force microscope-based setup and two-step cleaning procedure of the vacuum chamber and test body surfaces by means of UV light and Ar-ion bombardment. Compared to the previously performed experiment, two more measurement sets for the gradient of the Casimir force are provided which confirmed and slightly improved the results. Next, additional measurements have been performed with a factor of two larger oscillation amplitude of the cantilever. This allowed obtaining meaningful results at much larger separation distances. The comparison of the measurement data with theoretical predictions of the Lifshitz theory using the dissipative Drude model to describe the response of Au to the low-frequency electromagnetic field fluctuations shows that this theoretical approach is experimentally excluded over the distances from 250 to 1100nm (i.e., a major step forward has been made as compared to the previous work where it was excluded up to only 820nm). The theoretical approach using the dissipationless plasma model at low frequencies is shown to be consistent with the data over the entire measurement range from 250 to 1300nm. The possibilities to explain these puzzling results are discussed.

description: This report is the first in a series of reports from the Henry A. Wallace Institute for Alternative Agriculture on Green Support Programs. Green Support Programs, under which farm income support would be provided in return for farmers' provision of environmental protection, reflect a relatively new concept in agricultural policy. This first report provides an overview of the concept, delineates the various critical decisions that must be made in designing a Green Support Program, and explores the implications of and tradeoffs involved in making those decisions. By clearly defining the broad opportunities and limitations of Green Support Programs, it aims to inform the evolving debate about the concept and provide general guidance to those involved in designing, promoting, or evaluating programs that fall in this class .

description: Turning on background fields in string theory sometimes has an alternative interpretation as a deformation of the target space geometry. A particularly well-known case is the NS-NS two form B, which gives rise to space-time non-commutativity. In this note we point out that this phenomenon extends to ten-dimensional superspace when employing a covariant quantization of the superstring, generalizing an observation by Ooguri and Vafa in four dimensions. In particular, we will find that RR field strengths give rise to a non-zero $\{θ,θ\}$ anti-commutator, just as in four dimensions, whereas the gravitino yields a non-zero value for $[x,θ]$.

description: "Designing Green Support Programs" is the second in a series of reports on Green Support Programs from the Henry A. Wallace Institute for Alternative Agriculture. The first report in this series, "Lean, Mean and Green .. Designing Farm Support Programs in a New Era," by Sarah Lynch and Katherine R. Smith, provides a broad overview of the concept of Green Support Programs (GSP). A GSP would combine in one program the dual objectives of supporting farmers income and providing environmental protection from agricultural pollution. "Lean, Mean and Green ... " identifies critical decisions that must be made in designing a GSP and explores the implications and trade-offs of alternative program designs. "Designing Green Support Programs" provides an in-depth analysis of several of the critical decisions that must be made in designing a GSP. In the first paper of this volume, Sarah Lynch provides a brief overview of agriculture's environmental problems and highlights some of the strengths and weaknesses of alternative approaches to addressing these problems. Ralph E. Heimlich explores the geographic distribution of potential agroenvironmental problems and discusses the implications of this distribution on program targeting to enhance cost-effectiveness. The issue of incentive compatibility between existing farm programs and a GSP is examined by C. Ford Runge. Sandra Batie discusses the availability of sustainable, environmentally friendly alternative technologies and production practices, and barriers to their adoption. Finally, Jerry Skees explores program administration issues that must be confronted when designing and implementing a GSP. Collectively, these papers' add considerable depth to our understanding of the important issues and trade-offs that must be considered in designing a GSP. In so doing they inform the on-going debate over the strengths and limitations of GSPs and the potential role they might play in the next generation of farm programs.

The data of the download frequency of publications are taken from a well-constructed web page in the field of economic physics (http://www.unifr.ch/econophysics/). The Zipf-law analysis and the Tsallis entropy method were used to fit the download frequency. It was found that the power-law exponent of rank-ordered frequency distribution is $γ\sim 0.38 \pm 0.04$ which is consistent with the power-law exponent $α\sim 3.37 \pm 0.45$ for the cumulated frequency distributions. Preferential attachment model of Barabasi and Albert network has been used to explain the download network.

description: As new policy concepts emerge, their informed evolution is often hampered by unarticulated differences in individual and group interpretations of what they embody. Such is the case with "whole farm planning (WFP)," a systems-based concept for agroenvironmental management. If WFP is to move from preliminary concept to institutionalized policy tool. problems of definition, goal-setting, and implementation strategies must be resolved. An initial step to resolving those problems, or "getting to yes," requires clear articulation of the diverse views. This report is meant to accomplish two objectives. First, it provides a "primer" on the concept of whole farm planning and the issues involved in the development of whole farm planning policy. Second, it reports new information resulting from a structured interaction among a diverse set of interest groups, which adds richness to the idea of incorporating WFP into policy and identifies areas of common interest and potential disagreement among stakeholding groups in whole farm planning policy. No particular position on whole farm planning policy is advocated in this report. Rather, it is designed to elucidate the policy issues, identify key features that stakeholding groups see as essential for policy effectiveness, and make clearer the potential opportunities and challenges confronting policy makers if they pursue WFP policy. Partial funding for the effort was provided by the Soil and Water Conservation Society and the u.S. Environmental Protection Agency. All of the report's contents and conclusions, however, are solely the responsibility of the authors and the Wallace Institute. iii

Eliashberg theory in the weak-coupling limit: results on the real frequency axis

description: We formulate and solve the Eliashberg equations on the imaginary frequency axis at temperatures below $T_c$ in the weak-coupling limit. We find an excellent scaling at all temperatures, for a given coupling strength, and the normalized order parameter exhibits a BCS-like temperature dependence. The hybrid real-imaginary axis equations are also solved to obtain numerically exact analytic continuations from the imaginary frequency axis to the real frequency axis. This provides a determination of the gap edge, which, in the weak-coupling limit, is identical to the order parameter from the imaginary axis. The analytical result for the zero-temperature gap edge deviates from the BCS result by a factor of $1/\sqrt{e}$, which was also obtained for the transition temperature $T_c$. We show that the normalized gap function on both the real and imaginary frequency axes, for an electron-phonon Einstein spectrum ($δ$-function) of a given strength, is a universal function of frequency, independent of temperature. The $1/\sqrt{e}$ correction is a result of this non-trivial frequency dependence in the gap function. This modification, in the gap edge and in $T_{c}$, serves to preserve various dimensionless ratios to their BCS values.

A gold-coated AFM tip serves as a voltage or current probe in three-probe measurement setup. Using the tip as a movable current probe, we investigate the scaling of the device properties with channel length. Using the tip as a voltage probe, we study the properties of the contacts. We find that Au makes an excellent contact in the p-region, with no Schottky barrier. In the n-region large contact resistances were found which dominate the transport properties.

description: We find the low-temperature behavior of the Casimir-Polder free energy and entropy for an atom interacting with real graphene sheet possessing nonzero energy gap and chemical potential. Employing the formalism of the polarization tensor, it is shown that the Casimir-Polder entropy goes to zero by the power law with vanishing temperature, i.e., the Nernst heat theorem is satisfied. This result is discussed in connection with the problems connected with account of free charge carriers in the Lifshitz theory.

description: Biomarkers of inflammation may be of clinical utility in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). We aimed to investigate the interferon gamma-related biomarkers neopterin and kynurenine–tryptophanratio (KT-ratio) in PSC. Circulating neopterin, tryptophan and kynurenine were measured with LC-MS/MS in multiple cross-sectional cohorts comprising in total of 524 PSC patients and 100 healthy controls from Norway, Germany and Sweden. Neopterin and KT-ratio were significantly increased in PSC patients compared with controls in both a discovery and a validation cohort from Norway. Furthermore, high neopterin and KT-ratio levels were associated with a shorter transplantation-free survival in the PSC patients in the Norwegian discovery cohort and the German validation cohort. However, in the validation PSC cohort from Sweden, no relationship between neopterin and KT-ratio and liver transplantation-free survival was observed. The correlations between neopterin and KT-ratio were moderate to strong and similar in all cohorts (rho 0.50–0.67). Neopterin and KT-ratio also correlated with C-reactive protein (rho 0.17-0.63) and revised Mayo risk score (rho 0.23–0.42) in all cohorts. Neopterin and KT-ratio were elevated in PSC and associated with liver transplantation-free survival in two independent PSC cohorts, highlighting a possible role of interferon gamma-driven inflammation in the pathogenesis. However, the lack of association with survival in one of the cohorts reduces the potential clinical value of neopterin and KT-ratioas biomarkers and highlights the need to validate new biomarkers in PSC in multiple cohorts.

Calculating n-Point Charge Correlations in Evolving Systems

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In dynamic systems, charge susceptibilities and local charge correlations change with time. These changes are accompanied by non-local correlations which spread diffusively with time and are constrained by local charge conservation. Assuming the local features of the correlation, which for a gas would be the correlation of charges within the same particle, are equilibrated, a diagrammatic formalism is presented for calculating the evolution of the associated non-local correlations. These provide correlations of $n$ density operators at different positions for arbitrary $n$. The techniques were developed with an eye towards relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and can account for correlations indexed by up, down and strange charges. Understanding the evolution of such correlations is crucial if one is to interpret measurements of charge fluctuations from the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider.

description: A general equilibrium model is developed to study the environmental implications of agricultural policies. Model results show that declines in the acreage reduction program (ARP) would reduce agricultural fertilizer use, but the return of ARP land to production would lead to an overall increase in sedimentation and offsite environmental damage. In contrast, if land and fertilizers are highly substitutable, declines in deficiency payments and other commodity price support programs would reduce offsite environmental damages by reducing fertilizer use. Agricultural policy reform would be consistent with conservation policy because it would encourage a reduction in the use of fertilizer-intensive production practices.

description: Recent changes in pricing policies emphasizing price supports and phasing out fertilizer subsidies are a step in the right direction, particularly if minimizing the combined foreign exchange and budgetary expenditures of Bangladesh and donor nations is the key objective. A normalized restricted profit function is used to estimate profit and factor demand functions from farm-level, cross-sectional data for the food grain and jute crops in Bangladesh. The estimated elasticities are used to evealuate price support and fertilizer subsidy programs in terms of then costs to the government, foreign exchange effects and producer surplus for the food grain and jute sectors.
The hard X-ray view of the low-luminosity blazar in the radio galaxy NGC6251

description: We present results from a BeppoSAX (July 2001) observation of the FRI radio galaxy NGC6251, together with a re-analysis of archival ASCA (October 1994) and Chandra (September 2000) data. The weak detection above 10 keV and the lack of iron fluorescent K-alpha emission lines in the BeppoSAX spectrum rule out that the bulk of the X-ray emission is due to an obscured Seyfert nucleus. The study of the multiwavelength spectral energy distribution suggests instead that X-rays probably originate as inverse-Compton of synchrotron seed photons in a relativistic jet, indicating that NGC6251 hosts a low radio luminosity [L(5 GHz) ~10^40 erg/s] blazar. The BeppoSAX spectrum is flatter than in the earlier ASCA observation. This might be due to the emergence of a different spectral component during phases of lower X-ray flux. In this context, we discuss some possible explanations for the intense and mildly-ionized fluorescent iron line measured by ASCA.

description: There are no currently available biomarkers that can accurately indicate the presence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). We investigated the association between endotrophin, a cleavage product of collagen type 6α3, and disease severity in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We measured serum endotrophin levels in 211 patients with NAFLD and nine healthy controls. Liver biopsy data was available for 141 (67%) of the patients. Associations between endotrophin and the presence of NASH and advanced fibrosis were investigated alone and in combination with standard clinical parameters using logistic regression. A total of 211 patients were enrolled in this study, consisting of 108 (51%) men and 103 (49%) women with a mean age of 55.6 years. 58 (27%) of the patients had advanced fibrosis. Of those with biopsy data, 87 (62%) had NASH. Serum levels of endotrophin were significantly higher in patients with NAFLD than those in healthy controls (37[±12] vs. 17[±7] ng/mL, pp These data suggest that serum endotrophin could be a valuable biomarker for diagnosing NASH, but not for detecting advanced fibrosis in NAFLD.

description: Pedestrian detection through Computer Vision is a building block for a multitude of applications. Recently, there was an increasing interest in Convolutional Neural Network-based architectures for the execution of such a task. One of these supervised networks' critical goals is to generalize the knowledge learned during the training phase to new scenarios with different characteristics. A suitably labeled dataset is essential to achieve this purpose. The main problem is that manually annotating a dataset usually requires a lot of human effort, and it is costly. To this end, we introduce ViPeD (Virtual Pedestrian Dataset), a new synthetically generated set of images collected with the highly photo-realistic graphical engine of the video game GTA V - Grand Theft Auto V, where annotations are automatically acquired. However, when training solely on the synthetic dataset, the model experiences a Synthetic2Real Domain Shift leading to a performance drop when applied to real-world images. To mitigate this gap, we propose two different Domain Adaptation techniques suitable for the pedestrian detection task, but possibly applicable to general object detection. Experiments show that the network trained with ViPeD can generalize over unseen real-world scenarios better than the detector trained over real-world data, exploiting the variety of our synthetic dataset. Furthermore, we demonstrate that with our Domain Adaptation techniques, we can reduce the Synthetic2Real Domain Shift, making closer the two domains and obtaining a performance improvement when testing the network over the real-world images. The code, the models, and the dataset are made freely available at https://ciampluca.github.io/viped/

description: From time to time, we forget that the data we use are at least as important as the methods we employ. True, agricultural economists have devoted considerable effort to assessing and understanding the appropriate application of theory, underlying assumptions, models, and methodologies for estimating elasticities. And, this has led to real progress in the analysis of international commodity markets. But, data are what we seek. Methodology and procedures lead us nowhere without the right results.
NORMAL SUBGROUPS OF INDEX 8 IN THE GROUP REPRESENTATION OF THE CAYLEY TREE

description: Many papers and books have been written on the theory of groups. However, there are still unsolved problems, many of which arise in fields such as physics, biology, and other natural sciences. For example, when the configuration of a physical system is defined on a lattice (which can be viewed as a graph of a group), the configuration may be interpreted as a function defined over the lattice. Numerous studies have explored different types of partitions in groups (lattices) (see for example [1]-[3]).
Wetting at Curved Substrates: Non-Analytic Behavior of Interfacial Properties

description: We argue that for complete wetting at a curved substrate (wall) the wall-fluid surface tension is non-analytic in $R_i^{-1}$, the curvature of the wall and that the density profile of the fluid near the wall acquires a contribution proportional to the gas-liquid surface tension $\times R_i^{-1}$ plus higher-order contributions which are non-analytic in $R_i^{-1}$. These predictions are confirmed by results of density functional calculations for the square-well model of a liquid adsorbed on a hard sphere and on a hard cylinder where complete wetting by gas (drying) occurs. The implications of our results for the solvation of big solvophobic particles are discussed.
