description: The problem of linear instability of a nonlinear traveling wave in a canonical Hamiltonian system with translational symmetry subject to superharmonic perturbations is discussed. It is shown that exchange of stability occurs when energy is stationary as a function of wave speed. This generalizes a result proved by Saffman [3] for traveling wave solutions exhibiting a wave profile with reflectional symmetry. The present argument remains true for any noncanonical Hamiltonian system that can be cast in Darboux form, i.e. a canonical Hamiltonian form on a submanifold defined by constraints, such as a two-dimensional surface wave on a shearing flow, revealing a general feature of Hamiltonian dynamics.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: Timber used in the production of lumber in Southwestern Ontario varies in a number of characteristics and the lump-sum stumpage price is expected to reflect differences in those characteristics. When heterogeneous inputs are used in production, the hedonic price function approach may be used to estimate marginal implicit values of the various input characteristics. Hedonic price functions have been estimated for timber in the region using pooled time-series cross-section data from a large sample of timber sales. The results indicate that volume, species composition, tree size, timber quality and distance to the purchasing mill will affect lump-sum stumpage prices. Estimates of the contributions that each of these characteristics makes to stumpage prices are presented.

description: Introduction: This data visualization is going to analyze the global gender gap from 2016 to 2020. It will visualize the change of the gap in healthcare, education, economics and politics. The datasets are download from WORD BANK and cleaned with excel, the missing values are filled according to the global gender gap report from WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM. I use Tableau as the visualization tool and the website is building based on a free template from TEMPLATED. Key findings: Western Europe region has the highest average gender gap index every year from 2016-2020 Global average gender gap index of health and education aspects are close to 1, then followed by economy and politics Half of the top 10 countries are from Western Europe, and Iceland is the top one every year The top growing country from 2016 to 2020 is the United Arab Emirates, which increase by 12%. India is growing backwards which has 8.5% decreasing The gender gap index of most of the G20 countries are growing but their global ranking is dropping In G20 countries, the top countries growing in the economy index are France (35.3%) and Saudi Arabia (62.4%) In G20 countries, the top countries growing in education from 2006 to 2020 are India (17.5%) and Saudi Arabia (11.4%) In G20 countries, the top countries growing backwards in health from 2006 to 2020 are India (-71.3%) and United States (-66.4%) In G20 countries, the top countries growing in politics from 2006 to 2020 are France (339.4%), Italy (258.9%), United States (239.9%) In G20 countries, the top country growing overall from 2006 to 2020 is France (20.2%) Over 14 years, the United States has historically high ranking is NO.17, from 2019 to 2020 there is a huge jump from NO. 53 to NO. 30, which is because of the score increase in politics As for 2020, United States closes the gender gap in education, which has the index 1. The gender gap index for health is 0.97, then followed by the economy index 0.754 and politics is the least which has an index of 0.329 In the United States, the gender gap still exists in education, for instance in information technologies, STEMS, and engineering area For the United States health index, the male has a higher born rate, every 1000 males born with 944 females. Females have a higher healthy life expectancy than males For the United States economy index, a large gender gap still exists in estimated earned income, wage equality for similar work, etc. For United States political empowerment opportunity, the female has 27.3% in parliament and 46.2% in ministerial positions

description: The magnetic spectral response of black-phase mixed-valence Sm0.83Y0.17S has been measured by inelastic neutron scattering on a single crystal. Two magnetic peaks are observed in the energy range of the Sm2+ spin-orbit transition (25-40 meV). Both of them exhibit significant dispersion along the three main symmetry directions, reminiscent of the spin-orbit exciton branch found in pure divalent SmS. The results can be reproduced by a simple phenomenological model accounting for the existence of sizeable Sm-Sm exchange interactions, and a microscopic mechanism is proposed on the basis of the "local-bound-state" theory developed previously for SmB6.

description: Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have been used in recent years for a wide range of applications, from nano-scale NMR to quantum computation. These applications depend strongly on the efficient readout of the NV center's spin state, which is currently limited. Here we suggest a method of reading the NV center's spin state, using the weak optical transition in the singlet manifold. We numerically calculate the number of photons collected from each spin state using this technique, and show that an order of magnitude enhancement in spin readout signal-to-noise ratio is expected, making single-shot spin readout within reach. Thus, this method could lead to an order of magnitude enhancement in sensitivity for ubiquitous NV based sensing applications, and remove a major obstacle from using NVs for quantum information processing.

description: We give a new and constructive proof of the existence of a special class of univariate polynomials whose graphs have preassigned shapes. By definition, all the critical points of a Morse polynomial function are real and distinct and all its critical values are distinct. Thus we can associate to it an alternating permutation: the so-called Arnold snake, given by the relative positions of its critical values. We realise any separable alternating permutation as the Arnold snake of a Morse polynomial.

description: Temporal periodic modulation of the interatomic s-wave scattering length in Bose-Einstein condensates is shown to excite subharmonic patterns of atom density through a parametric resonance. The dominating wavelength of the spatial structures is shown to be primarily selected by the excitation frequency but also affected by the depth of the spatial modulation via a nonlinear resonance. These phenomena represent macroscopic quantum analogues of the Faraday waves excited in vertically shaken liquids.

description: The systematic subsidization and exploitation of agriculture by developed and developing countries respectively, has generated a policy paradox for which there is no satisfactory explanation. This paper attempts to provide an explanation of this policy paradox. It first develops a simple political economy model which treats an interest group's relative political weight as endogenous. Interest groups compete in the political market to improve their relative political weight. This relative political weight appears as a parameter in the government's political preference function. The government maximizes the value of this function subject to the constraints imposed by the economic market to determine the level of a policy. The model is then estimated for wheat using data for twelve developed and thirteen developing countries from 1958 to 1987.The estimation results for developed and developing countries provide empirical support for the theoretical conjectures. The results suggest that sustainable policy reform in agriculture may not be possible if the political economy of agriculture price policies in developed and developing countries are ignored.

description: We consider the four dimensional discontinuity generated by two identical pieces of a five dimensional space pasted along their edge (that is a "brane" in a "$Z_2$-symmetric" "bulk"). Using a four plus one decomposition of the Riemann tensor we write the equations for gravity on the brane and recover in a simple manner a number of known "brane world" scenarios. We study under which conditions these equations reduce, exactly or approximately, to the four dimensional Einstein equations. We conclude that if the bulk is imposed to be only an Einstein space near the brane, Einstein's equations can be recovered approximately on the brane, but if it is imposed to be strictly anti-de Sitter space then the Einstein equations cannot hold, even approximately, on a quasi-Minkowskian brane, unless matter obeys a very contrived equation of state.

description: An ab initio dynamic study of the reactions of H atom with CH3OOH and CH3CH2OOH was performed over the temperature range of 250–1500 K. The geometries of all stationary points were optimised at the MP2, B3LYP and M06-2X theories. The final electronic energies for all species were refined by the CCSD(T) and QCISD(T) methods. The rate coefficients were calculated using canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) with small-curvature tunnelling (SCT) correction or the multichannel Rice−Ramsperger−Kassel−Marcus (RRKM) and CVT methods. The results showed that the channel of H-abstraction from OH group is dominant channel only at temperature less than 350 K. With the temperature higher than 350 K, the OH-transfer channel becomes dominant channel. For the CH3OOH + H reaction, the channel to produce H2 + CH2O + OH becomes the dominant channel at temperature higher than 800 K. For the CH3CH2OOH + H reaction, the channel to produce H2 + CH3CH2O + OH is important at temperature less than 600 K and has a maximum branching ratio of 0.3 around 350 K.

description: Over the past 20 years increasing global growth and increased per capita income have led to significant changes in food production, consumption and trade for many countries. As incomes and urbanization increase, food consumption patterns exhibit increased demand for a more diversified diet increasing meat and dairy consumption, which leads to improved meat production systems and modern animal science-based feed rations. Greater demand for feed grains and oilseeds is provided by domestic production and through imports. This study analyzes the effects of Southeast Asia's changing food consumption patterns on agriculture production, consumption, and trade out to the year 2021. The impact of increasing consumption of poultry and pork and increased meat production and feed demand on domestic agricultural markets of Southeast Asia and international markets is assessed. Countries analyzed include Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. Results provide insights to potential higher global feed prices in the near future and constraints to expanding production. Global markets respond to higher feed prices through increased production and decreased demand.

description: The possibility to explain the CMB measurement of the baryon asymmetry with leptogenesis results in a stringent bound on the neutrino masses such that [(m_1)^2+(m_2)^2+(m_3)^2]^(1/2) < 0.30 eV. We discuss the implications of such a bound for future experiments on the absolute neutrino mass scale.

description: We analyzed the X-ray power density spectra of five ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) NGC5408 X-1, NGC6946 X-1, M82 X-1, NGC1313 X-1 and IC342 X-1 that are the only ULXs which display both flat-topped noise (FTN) and quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO). We studied the QPO frequencies, fractional root-mean-square (rms) variability, X-ray luminosity and spectral hardness. We found that the level of FTN is anti-correlated with the QPO frequency. As the frequency of the QPO and brightness of the sources increase, their fractional variability decreases. We propose a simple interpretation using the spherizarion radius, viscosity time and $α$-parameter as basic properties of these systems. The main physical driver of the observed variability is the mass accretion rate which varies >3 between different observations of the same source. As the accretion rate decreases the spherization radius reduces and the FTN plus the QPO move toward higher frequencies resulting in a decrease of the fractional rms variability. We also propose that in all ULXs when the accretion rate is low enough (but still super-Eddington) the QPO and FTN disappear. Assuming that the maximum X-ray luminosity depends only on the black hole (BH) mass and not on the accretion rate (not considering the effects of either the inclination of the super-Eddington disc nor geometrical beaming of radiation) we estimate that all the ULXs have about similar BH masses, with the exception of M82 X-1, which might be 10 times more massive.

description: Capitalizing on the two-dimensional nature of superconductivity in field-effect doped C60, we show that it should be possible to increase the transition temperature Tc by applying uniaxial stress perpendicular to the gate electrode. This method not only holds the promise of substantially enhancing Tc (by about 30 K per GPa), but also provides a sensitive check of the current understanding of superconductivity in the doped Fullerenes.

description: In this paper, we study typical nonlinear phenomenon of phase-locking or synchronization in spin-torque nano oscillators (STNOs). To start with the oscillators are considered as uncoupled but interlinked through either a common microwave current or a microwave field. We identify the phase locking of an array of STNOs (first for two and then for 100 oscillators) by means of injection locking which represents locking the oscillations to a common alternating spin current or a common microwave magnetic field. We characterize the locking of STNOs through both first and second harmonic lockings in an array. We find that second harmonic lockings takes lesser value of microwave current and field when compared with the first harmonic lockings. Our results also show that oscillating microwave current can induce integer harmonic locking while microwave field can induce both integer and several fractional harmonic lockings. We also extend our analysis to study locking behavior of two STNOs by introducing time delay feedback and coupling through a current injection and bring out the associated locking characteristics. Finally, we have also analyzed the stability of synchronization of identical array of STNOs with current coupling by using master stability function formalism.

description: Maritime collisions involving multiple ships are considered rare, but in 2017 several United States Navy vessels were involved in fatal at-sea collisions that resulted in the death of seventeen American Servicemembers. The experimentation introduced in this paper is a direct response to these incidents. We propose a shipboard Collision-At-Sea avoidance system, based on video image processing, that will help ensure the safe stationing and navigation of maritime vessels. Our system leverages a convolutional neural network trained on synthetic maritime imagery in order to detect nearby vessels within a scene, perform heading analysis of detected vessels, and provide an alert in the presence of an inbound vessel. Additionally, we present the Navigational Hazards - Synthetic (NAVHAZ-Synthetic) dataset. This dataset, is comprised of one million annotated images of ten vessel classes observed from virtual vessel-mounted cameras, as well as a human "Topside Lookout" perspective. NAVHAZ-Synthetic includes imagery displaying varying sea-states, lighting conditions, and optical degradations such as fog, sea-spray, and salt-accumulation. We present our results on the use of synthetic imagery in a computer vision based collision-at-sea warning system with promising performance.

description: Host-microbe interactions play crucial roles in marine ecosystems, but we still have very little understanding of the mechanisms that govern these relationships, the evolutionary processes that shape them, and their ecological consequences. The holobiont concept is a renewed paradigm in biology that can help describe and understand these complex systems. It posits that a host and its associated microbiota, living together in a long-lasting relationship, form the holobiont, and have to be studied together, as a coherent biological and functional unit, in order to understand the biology, ecology and evolution of the organisms. Here we discuss critical concepts and opportunities in marine holobiont research and identify key challenges in the field. We highlight the potential economic, sociological, and environmental impacts of the holobiont concept in marine biological, evolutionary, and environmental sciences with comparisons to terrestrial science whenever appropriate. A deeper understanding of such complex systems, however, will require further technological and conceptual advances. The most significant challenge will be to bridge functional research on simple and tractable model systems and global approaches. This will require scientists to work together as an (inter)active community in order to address, for instance, ecological and evolutionary questions and the roles of holobionts in biogeochemical cycles.

description: Proper base-pairing of a miRNA with its target mRNA is a key step in miRNA-mediated mRNA repression. RNA remodelling by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) can improve access of miRNAs to their target mRNAs. The largest isoform p45 of the RBP AUF1 has previously been shown to remodel viral or AU-rich RNA elements. Here, we show that AUF1 is capable of directly promoting the binding of the miRNA let-7b to its target site within the 3ʹUTR of the POLR2D mRNA. Our data suggest this occurs in two ways. First, the helix-destabilizing RNA chaperone activity of AUF1 disrupts a stem-loop structure of the target mRNA and thus exposes the miRNA target site. Second, the RNA annealing activity of AUF1 drives hybridization of the miRNA and its target site within the mRNA. Interestingly, the RNA remodelling activities of AUF1 were found to be isoform-specific. AUF1 isoforms containing a YGG motif are competent RNA chaperones, whereas isoforms lacking the YGG motif are not. Overall, our study demonstrates that AUF1 has the ability to modulate a miRNA-target site interaction, thus revealing a new regulatory function for AUF1 proteins during post-transcriptional control of gene expression. Moreover, tests with other RBPs suggest the YGG motif acts as a key element of RNA chaperone activity.

description: Given mitochondrion is the ‘energy and oxygen usage factories’, adaptive signatures of mitochondrial genes have been extensively investigated in vertebrates from different altitudes, but few studies focus on insects. Here, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Dolycoris. baccarum living in the Tibetan Plateau (DBHC, ∼3200 m above sea level (asl)) and conducted a detailed comparative analysis with another D. baccarum mitogenome (DBQY) from relatively low altitude (∼1300 m asl). All the 37 mitochondrial genes were highly conserved and under purifying selection, except for two mitochondrial protein-coding genes (MPCGs) (atp6 and nad5) that showed positively selected signatures. We therefore further examined non-synonymous substitutions in atp6 and nad5, by sequencing more individuals from three populations with different altitudes. We found that these non-synonymous substitutions were polymorphic in these populations, likely due to relaxed selection constraints in different altitudes. Purifying selection in all mitochondrial genes may be due to their functional importance for the precision of ATP production usually. Length difference in mitochondrial control regions between DBHC and DBQY was also conversed at the population level, indicating that sequence size adjustments in control region may be associated with adaptation to divergent altitudes. Quantitatively real-time PCR analysis for 12 MPCGs showed that gene expression patterns had a significant change between the two populations, suggesting that expression levels of MPCGs could be modulated by divergent environmental pressures (e.g. oxygen content and ambient temperature). These results provided an important guide for further uncovering genetic mechanisms of ecological adaptation in insects.

description: Hydrogen decrepitation process has been applied for the first time for the direct recycling of SmCo5 magnets. Industrially produced sintered SmCo5 magnets were decrepitated by hydrogen gas at a pressure of 1 bar to 9.5 bar at room temperature in a planetary rotating jar. After decrepitation, the starting sintered magnets were reduced to a powder with a particle size of less than 200 microns. The produced powder was used for the preparation of recycled SmCo5 magnets. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction studies and magnetic measurements were used to follow the decrepitation and the sintering processes. The measured remanence and maximum energy product of the recycled magnet are 0.94 T and 171.1 kJ/m3, respectively, in comparison with 0.91 T and 156.8 kJ/m3, respectively for the original magnet before recycling. It was also observed that, there is refinement in the microstructure after recycling in comparison to the original magnet.

Optimisation of hierarchical dielectric elastomer laminated composites

description: This paper is concerned with the optimisation of the actuation response of electro-elastic, rank-two laminates obtained laminating a core rank-one composite with a soft phase which constitutes the shell. The analysis is performed for two classes of composites that are subjected to traction-free boundary-value problems. The results are compared with those computed in a previous study where the optimisation was carried out at small strains. The non-linear approach allows a better estimation of the geometric layout of the reference configuration to enhance the maximum stretch or shear strain at the operative applied voltage. The optimum layouts are in general characterised by a very low volume fraction of the shell while in the core the two components are almost equally distributed. The amplification of the electric field in each phase of the laminate in the actuated state is also estimated to provide an indication of the effective local electro-mechanical response.
