description: Ruminant livestock production in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming is critical to the region's economy. Because of the economic significance of ruminant livestock production, producers in the four-state area are continually looking for opportunities to increase income and improve the viability of their farm and ranch operation. Accordingly, the Four-state Ruminant Consortium, an integrated research and extension program, was created to specifically address issues related to ruminant livestock production. The purpose of the Four-State Ruminant Consortium is to enhance economic development in the target study area of southwestern North Dakota, northwestern South Dakota, southeastern Montana, and northeastern Wyoming by strengthening and capturing value from the ruminant livestock industry. This study sought to identify opportunities for and constraints to expanding value-added enterprises within the beef cow-calf sector. A number of sources were utilized in assessing opportunities and impediments to adopting value-added beef enterprises. A mail questionnaire was delivered to 5,270 livestock producers in 37 counties in the 4-state study area of southwestern North Dakota, northwestern South Dakota, southwestern Montana and northwestern Wyoming. The questionnaire was designed to solicit a wide variety of information about operators' current production practices, including marketing, backgrounding, retained ownership, herd management and feed and forage practices. Following the survey, focus group interviews were conducted with groups of producers in each of the four states. Other individuals knowledgeable about other aspects of the region's livestock industry such as auction manager, banker, feed dealers were also interviewed. The results detailed in this report are a combination of a summary of key findings from the written questionnaire and findings from the focus group meetings. Findings from the focus group meetings are detailed in terms of opportunities and constraints and key themes articulated by focus group and interview participants.

description: This thesis assesses the use of a group of small, low-altitude, low-power (in terms of communication equipment), fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a mobile communication relay nodes to facilitate reliable communication between ground nodes in urban environments. This work focuses on enhancing existing models for optimal trajectory planning and enabling UAV relay implementation in realistic urban scenarios. The performance of the proposed UAV relay algorithms was demonstrated and proved through an indoor simulated urban environment, the first experiment of its kind. The objective of enabling UAV relay deployment in realistic urban environments is addressed through relaxing the constraints on the assumptions of communication prediction models assumptions, reducing knowledge requirements and improving prediction efficiency. This thesis explores assumptions for urban environment knowledge at three different levels: (i) full knowledge about the urban environment, (ii) partially known urban environments, and (iii) no knowledge about the urban environment. The work starts with exploring models that assume the city size, layout and its effects on wireless communication strength are known, representing full knowledge about the urban environment.

description: Student satisfaction with, and performance in, a first-offer online agrisales course was compared with that of students enrolled in a simultaneously-taught classroom course. Online and classroom students were equally satisfied with the course and the instructor using most measures, and student overall performance did not differ. However, online students tended to do better on exams while classroom students demonstrated a greater ability to apply course concepts to a practical setting. Changes were made in the online course to improve student understanding of and ability to apply course concepts. Specifically, online student exams were no longer open-note / open-book and were proctored. On-campus online students also participated in their final sales presentation with classroom students. Coinciding with these changes were improvements in satisfaction and performance among online students, and a change in their use of class resources.
Downsizing of Star-Forming Galaxies by Gravitational Processes

description: There is observed a trend that a lower mass galaxy forms stars at a later epoch. This downsizing of star-forming galaxies has been attributed to hydrodynamical or radiative feedback processes that regulate star formation. However, here we explain the downsizing by gravitational processes alone, in the bottom-up scenario where galaxies evolve from subgalactic-scale objects. Within a region of the initial density field that is to evolve into a lower mass galaxy, subgalactic-scale fluctuation is of a smaller amplitude. The formation of subgalactic-scale objects, i.e., gravitational collapse of the subgalactic-scale fluctuation, and the subsequent onset of star formation accordingly occur at a later epoch for a lower mass galaxy. As a function of galaxy mass, we calculate the peak epoch of formation of subgalactic-scale objects. The peak epoch is consistent with the peak epoch of star formation derived from observations.

description: Net farm income for nearly all representative farms in 2016 is projected to be higher than in 2006. Low-profit farms, which comprise 20% of the farms in the study, may not have financial resiliency to survive without off-farm income. Commodity prices and yields are projected to increase slightly faster than costs, which will increase net farm income. Cropland prices and cash rental rates are projected to increase slightly in all regions. Debt-to-asset ratios for all farms will decrease slightly throughout the forecast period. Debt-to-asset ratios for the low-profit farms are expected to remain near the 0.50 level.

description: Bose polarons, quasi-particles composed of mobile impurities surrounded by cold Bose gas, can experience strong interactions mediated by the many-body environment and form bipolaron bound states. Here we present a detailed study of heavy polarons in a one-dimensional Bose gas by formulating a non-perturbative theory and complementing it with exact numerical simulations. We develop an analytic approach for weak boson-boson interactions and arbitrarily strong impurity-boson couplings. Our approach is based on a mean-field theory that accounts for deformations of the superfluid by the impurities and in this way minimizes quantum fluctuations. The mean-field equations are solved exactly in Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation leading to an analytic expression for the interaction potential of heavy polarons which is found to be in excellent agreement with quantum Monte-Carlo (QMC) results. In the strong-coupling limit the potential substantially deviates from the exponential form valid for weak coupling and has a linear shape at short distances. Taking into account the leading-order Born-Huang corrections we calculate bipolaron binding energies for impurity-boson mass ratios as low as 3 and find excellent agreement with QMC results.

description: Ruminant livestock production in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming is critical to the region's economy. Because of the economic significance of ruminant livestock production, producers in the four-state area are continually looking for opportunities to increase income and improve the viability of their farm and ranch operation. Accordingly, the Four-state Ruminant Consortium, an integrated research and extension program, was created to specifically address issues related to ruminant livestock production. One of the more widely applicable possibilities for adding value through the regions's ruminant livestock sector appears to be backgrounding feeder calves. However, while economic analysis has indicated that stockgrowers in the study area could typically increase their net returns by backgrounding feeder calves, anecdotal evidence suggests relatively few producers are presently backgrounding feeder calves. To identify the socioeconomic impediments inhibiting producers from backgrounding feeder cattle, this study sought to identify managerial, social, and institutional factors that influence and perhaps constrain producers' ability or willingness to background feeder cattle. Study objectives were to identify and document producers' current production and marketing practices as well as identify stock growers' perception of opportunities for and impediments to expansion of the ruminant livestock industry in the study area. A mail questionnaire was delivered to 5,270 livestock producers in 37 counties in the 4-state study area of southwestern North Dakota, northwestern South Dakota, southwestern Montana and northwestern Wyoming. The questionnaire was designed to solicit a wide variety of information about operators' current production practices, including marketing, backgrounding, retained ownership, herd management, and feed and forage practices. The questionnaire also solicited operators attitudes on a wide variety of issues related to opportunities for and impediments to the expansion of the ruminant livestock industry in the study area as well asking respondents to identify what types of information would be of most interest to them and in what form they would prefer that information be delivered. The questionnaire also collected basic demographic data. Findings from the mail questionnaire are detailed in this report.

description: The biodiesel industry in the United States has grown significantly in recent years. Production increased from 25 million gallons in 2004 to an estimated 250 million gallons in 2006, and many new plants are being built. Most biodiesel in the United States is produced from soybean oil, but canola offers characteristics which make it a favorable feedstock for biodiesel production. Characteristics of canola oil also make it an increasingly popular choice for human consumption. This study examines the structure of the biodiesel and canola industries. Specifically, the study describes changes in the biodiesel industry, trends in canola production in the United States and Canada, profitability and production risk for canola, the characteristics of canola oil for both human consumption and biodiesel production, the profitability of biodiesel production, and the potential to meet the demand for biodiesel production in the United States.

Quantum-enabled communication without a phase reference

Year: 2020

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A phase reference has been a standard requirement in continuous-variable quantum sensing and communication protocols. However, maintaining a phase reference is challenging due to environmental fluctuations, preventing quantum phenomena such as entanglement and coherence from being utilized in many scenarios. We show that quantum communication and entanglement-assisted communication without a phase reference are possible, when a short-time memory effect is present. The degradation in the communication rate of classical or quantum information transmission decreases inversely with the correlation time. An exact solution of the quantum capacity and entanglement-assisted classical/quantum capacity for pure dephasing channels is derived, where non-Gaussian multipartite-entangled states show strict advantages over usual Gaussian sources. For thermal-loss dephasing channels, lower bounds of the capacities are derived. The lower bounds also extend to scenarios with fading effect in the channel. In addition, for entanglement-assisted communication, the lower bounds can be achieved by a simple phase-encoding scheme on two-mode squeezed vacuum sources, when the noise is large.

description: We propose a new scheme for quantum error correction using robust continuous variable probe modes, rather than fragile ancilla qubits, to detect errors without destroying data qubits. The use of such probe modes reduces the required number of expensive qubits in error correction and allows efficient encoding, error detection and error correction. Moreover, the elimination of the need for direct qubit interactions significantly simplifies the construction of quantum circuits. We will illustrate how the approach implements three existing quantum error correcting codes: the 3-qubit bit-flip (phase-flip) code, the Shor code, and an erasure code.

description: We present a complete classification of all 1D and 2D orbifold compactifications. There exist 2 one-dimensional and 17 two-dimensional orbifolds. The classification includes orbifolds such as S^1/Z_2 or T^2/Z_n, as well as less familiar ones like T^2/D_n or the Mobius strip. We derive the explicit form of the basis functions and prove their orthonormality and completeness. Our study is based on the classification of space groups, which is well-known from crystallography. We define these groups in a novel, purely algebraic way. That enables us to determine all possible parities that can be defined on the orbifolds. We discuss field theories on T^2/Z_n with brane kinetic terms, and describe the derivation of their mass eigenstate bases.

description: We present an ab initio study of the interface energies of cubic yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) epitaxial layers on a (0001)_{alpha-Al_2O_3} substrate. The interfaces are modelled using a supercell geometry and the calculations are carried out in the framework of density-functional theory (DFT) and the local-density approximation (LDA) using the projector-augmented-wave (PAW) pseudopotential approach. Our calculations clearly demonstrate that the (111)_{YSZ} || (0001)_{alpha-Al_2O_3} interface energy is lower than that of (100)_{YSZ} || (0001)_{alpha-Al_2O_3}. This result is central to understanding the behaviour of YSZ thin solid film islanding on (0001)_{alpha-Al_2O_3} substrates, either flat or in presence of defects.

description: Planned efforts to probe the largest observable distance scales in future cosmological surveys are motivated by a desire to detect relic correlations left over from inflation, and the possibility of constraining novel gravitational phenomena beyond General Relativity (GR). On such large scales, the usual Newtonian approaches to modelling summary statistics like the power spectrum and bispectrum are insufficient, and we must consider a fully relativistic and gauge-independent treatment of observables such as galaxy number counts in order to avoid subtle biases, e.g. in the determination of the $f_{\rm NL}$ parameter. In this work, we present an initial application of an analysis pipeline capable of accurately modelling and recovering relativistic spectra and correlation functions. As a proof of concept, we focus on the non-zero dipole of the redshift-space power spectrum that arises in the cross-correlation of different mass bins of dark matter halos, using strictly gauge-independent observable quantities evaluated on the past light cone of a fully relativistic N-body simulation in a redshift bin $1.7 \le z \le 2.9$. We pay particular attention to the correct estimation of power spectrum multipoles, comparing different methods of accounting for complications such as the survey geometry (window function) and evolution/bias effects on the past light cone, and discuss how our results compare with previous attempts at extracting novel GR signatures from relativistic simulations.

The effect of surface wettability on the dielectric properties of contaminated sands
Creators: name: Li, Camille
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the complex dielectric response of the rock/fluid interface and its dependence on surface wettability over the frequency range 100 kHz to 10 MHz. Laboratory experiments were conducted on silica sand and a high surface area silica gel with water-wet, oil-wet and hydrophobic surfaces. A suite of water-wet/oil-wet silica gel mixtures in varying proportions was also used. The dielectric constant and conductivity of samples fully saturated with a 0.001 M NaCl brine were calculated from complex admittance measurements. An inclusion-based effective medium theory (EMT) and the Cole-Cole model were used to interpret the experimental data. The concept of a wetted matrix phase allowed the comparison of measurements from samples with different surface characteristics by removing the effects of disparate porosities and water content from the data. A correlation was found to exist between the surface properties of the sample and both the magnitude and frequency dependence of its dielectric response. Results from the application of the EMT and the Cole-Cole model revealed a tendency for the dielectric constant to decrease and the degree of dispersion to increase with the fraction of oil-wet surface in the sample. Although further studies are needed to more accurately quantify the nature of these relationships, the results presented here suggest that dielectric measurements could provide a useful means of assessing the extent and state of contaminants in porous rocks and soils.

description: In this paper, we have investigated the phase transition in black holes when Gauss-Bonnet corrections to the spacetime curvature and Born-Infeld extension in stress-energy tensor of electromagnetic field are considered in a negative cosmological constant background. It is evident that the black hole undergoes a phase transition as the specific heat capacity at constant potential shows discontinuities. Further, the computation of the free energy of the black hole, the Ehrenfest scheme and the Ruppeiner state space geometry analysis are carried out to establish the second order nature of this phase transition. The effect of non-linearity arising from Born-Infeld electrodynamics is also evident from our analysis. Our investigations are done in general D-spacetime dimensions with D > 4, and specific computations have been carried out in D = 5, 6, 7 spacetime dimensions.

description: The UMI count matrices for each sample from GSE129845 and GSE135337 were processed using the Seurat (v4.3.0.1) script in R. Files from GSE129845 were original cellRanger output data, unfiltered. Each data was separately loaded into a Seurat object and analyzed using the Seurat pipeline (additional parameters: nfeatures=3000, dims=50, resolution=0.6). Doublet cells were identified using DoubletFinder (v2.0.3) script in R. Cells with nFeature_RNA ≥ 4,000, nCount_RNA ≤ 500, percent.mt ≥ 15, or doublet-labeled were rejected from further analysis. After quality control, all mice and human samples were merged, separately. As the files from GSE135337 were already quality-controlled, no additional filtering was applied. Each data was separately loaded into a Seurat object and the default Seurat pipeline was executed after merged all data (additional parameters: nfeatures=3000, dims=50, resolution=0.6). Given the existence of cross-sample variation, we used the HMY method (RunHarmony), integrated in the harmony (v1.0.1) package, to remove differences between batches/samples for each merged data set.

description: In JT-60U, simultaneous excitation of n = 1 helical cores (HCs) and m/n = 2/1 Tearing Modes (TMs) was observed [T. Bando et al., Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 61 115014 (2019)]. In this paper, we have investigated the excitation mechanism of n = 1 HCs with m/n = 2/1 TMs based on the experimental observations and a simple quasi-linear MHD model. In the previous study, it was reported that a "coupling" on the phase of the MHD mode is observed between n = 1 HCs and m/n = 2/1 TMs. In this study, it is found that the coupling is observed with the mode frequency from several Hz to 6 kHz. This indicates that the resistive wall and the plasma control system do not induce the coupling because the both time scales are different from the mode frequency. In addition, n = 1 HCs appear to be the non-resonant mode from the two observations: n = 1 HCs do not rotate with the plasma around the q = 1 surface in the core and the coupling is also observed even when qmin > 1. It is also observed that the electron fluctuation due to an n = 1 HC in the core region disappears with the stabilization of an m/n = 2/1 neoclassical tearing mode by electron cyclotron current drive, implying that n = 1 HCs are driven by m/n = 2/1 TMs. This perspective, n = 1 HCs are driven by m/n = 2/1 TMs, is supported by the observation that the saturated amplitude of the m/n = 1/1 component of the radial displacement in the core is smaller than that of the m/n = 2/1 component. Finally, we revisit a quasi-linear MHD model where the m/n = 1/1 HC is induced directly by the sideband of the current for the m/n = 2/1 TM, which allows to excite the non-resonant m/n = 1/1 mode. The model also describes the characteristic of the coupling, fm/n=1/1(HC) = 2fm/n=2/1(TM).

description: We propose a phenomenological theory of strong incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the presence of a strong large-scale external magnetic field. We argue that in the inertial range of scales, magnetic-field and velocity-field fluctuations tend to align the directions of their polarizations. However, the perfect alignment cannot be reached, it is precluded by the presence of a constant energy flux over scales. As a consequence, the directions of fluid and magnetic-field fluctuations at each scale $λ$ become effectively aligned within the angle $ϕ_λ\propto λ^{1/4}$, which leads to scale-dependent depletion of nonlinear interaction and to the field-perpendicular energy spectrum $E(k_{\perp})\propto k_{\perp}^{-3/2}$. Our results may be universal, i.e., independent of the external magnetic field, since small-scale fluctuations locally experience a strong field produced by large-scale eddies.

description: We compute the one-loop effective action in \N=1 conformal SU(N) gauge theory which is an exactly marginal deformation of the \N=4 SYM theory. We consider an abelian background of constant \N = 1 gauge field and single chiral scalar. While for finite N the effective action depends non-trivially on the deformation parameter β, this dependence disappears in the large N limit if the parameter βis real. This conclusion matches the strong-coupling prediction coming from the form of a D3-brane probe action in the dual supergravity background: for the simplest choice of the D3-brane position the probe action happens to be the same as for a D3-brane in AdS_5 x S^5 placed parallel to the boundary of AdS_5. This suggests that in the real βdeformation case there exists a large N non-renormalization theorem for the 4-derivative term in the action.

description: We study the efficiency of Community Development Loan Funds (CDLFs) in the U.S.A. between 2002 and 2005. We find that the largest CDLFs tend to be most efficient and that efficiency decreases with age and the proportion of minority representation on the board, while board size does not affect efficiency.

description: It was recently shown that a scalar field suitably coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant $\mathcal{G}$ can undergo a spin-induced linear tachyonic instability near a Kerr black hole. This instability appears only once the dimensionless spin $j$ is sufficiently large, that is, $j \gtrsim 0.5$. A tachyonic instability is the hallmark of spontaneous scalarization. Focusing, for illustrative purposes, on a class of theories that do exhibit this instability, we show that stationary, rotating black hole solutions do indeed have scalar hair once the spin-induced instability threshold is exceeded, while black holes that lie below the threshold are described by the Kerr solution. Our results provide strong support for spin-induced black hole scalarization.

description: Ornamental growers face a challenge regarding best market channel for their products. Using data from a 2003 survey, this study analyzes the impact of nursery characteristics on channel choice for large and small nurseries. We conclude choice by both sizes was influenced by region, kind of plant, and advertising expenditure.

description: Two primary potable water-treatment technologies used in South Texas include conventional surface-water and reverse-osmosis (RO) desalination of brackish-groundwater. As the region's population continues to grow, municipalities are searching for economical means to expand their water supplies. Economies of size for both technologies are an important consideration for future expansion decisions.
A survey for low mass spectroscopic binary stars in the young clusters around sigma Orionis and lambda Orionis

description: We have obtained multi-epoch, high-resolution spectroscopy of 218 candidate low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the young clusters around sigma Ori and lambda Ori. We find that 196 targets are cluster members based on their radial velocity, the equivalent width of their NaI 8200 lines and the spectral type from their TiO band strength. We have identified 11 new binary stars among the cluster members based on their variable radial velocity and an additional binary from the variation in its line width and shape. The sample covers the magnitude range Ic=14-18.9 (mass =~ 0.55-0.03 Msun), but all of the binary stars are brighter than Ic=16.6 (mass =~ 0.12Msun) and 10 are brighter than Ic=15.5 (mass =~ 0.23Msun). There is a significant lack of spectroscopic binaries in our sample at faint magnitudes even when we account for the decrease in sensitivity with increasing magnitude. We can reject the hypothesis that the fraction of spectroscopic binaries is a uniform function of Ic magnitude with more than 99% confidence. The spectroscopic binary fraction for stars more massive than about 0.1Msun (Ic < 16.9) is f_bright=0.095(+0.012)(-0.028). The 90% confidence upper limit to the spectroscopic binary fraction for very low mass (VLM) stars (mass < 0.1Msun) and brown dwarfs (BDs) is f_faint < 7.5%. The hypothesis that f_bright and f_faint are equal can be rejected with 90% confidence. We conclude that we have found strong evidence for a change in the fraction of spectroscopic binaries among young VLM stars and brown dwarfs when compared to more massive stars in the same star-forming region. This implies a difference in the total binary fraction between VLM stars and BDs compared to more massive stars or a difference in the distribution of semi-major axes, or both. (Abridged)

description: The development and configuration of software product lines can be challenging tasks. During development, engineers often need to focus on a particular subset of features that is relevant for them. In such cases, it would be beneficial to hide other features and their implementation. During product configuration, requirements of potentially multiple stakeholders need to be considered. Therefore, configuration often happens in stages, in which different people contribute configuration decisions for different features. Moreover, in some cases, stakeholders want to share a set of products rather than a specific one. In all these cases, the necessary operation is the same: some features from the product line are assigned a value (e.g., via a partial configuration) while other features remain configurable. In this work, we propose a subset operation that takes a product line and a partial configuration to derive a subset product line comprising only the desired subset of features and implementation artifacts. Furthermore, we present, evaluate, and publish our implementation of the proposed subset operation within the FeatureIDE framework.

description: Most municipalities use conventional treatment to produce potable water. Historically, desalination has not been economically feasible, but technological advancements warrant a new analysis. This study analyzes the costs of two Texas municipal facilities producing water using the above technologies based on Capital Budgeting-NPV analysis combined with annuity equivalents.
Classical and quantum mechanical plane switching in CO2

description: Classical plane switching takes place in systems with a pronounced 1:2 resonance, where the degree of freedom with lowest frequency is doubly-degenerate. Under appropriate conditions, one observes a periodic and abrupt precession of the plane in which the doubly-degenerate motion takes place. In this article, we show that quantum plane switching exists in CO2 : Based on our analytical solutions of the classical Hamilton's equations of motion, we describe the dependence on vibrational angular momentum and energy of the frequency of switches and the plane switching angle. Using these results, we find optimal initial wave packet conditions for CO2 and show, through quantum mechanical propagation, that such a wave packet indeed displays plane switching at energies around 10000 cm-1 above the ground state on time scales of about 100 fs.

description: The E12-14-012 experiment, performed in Jefferson Lab Hall A, has collected exclusive electron-scattering data (e,e$^\prime$p) in parallel kinematics using natural argon and natural titanium targets. Here, we report the first results of the analysis of the data set corresponding to beam energy of 2,222 MeV, electron scattering angle 21.5 deg, and proton emission angle -50 deg. The differential cross sections, measured with $\sim$4% uncertainty, have been studied as a function of missing energy and missing momentum, and compared to the results of Monte Carlo simulations, obtained from a model based on the Distorted Wave Impulse Approximation.
