description: One of the main objectives of the 2003 CAP reform was enhancing farm competitiveness by enabling farmers to catch market signals and to adjust their production level and specialisation accordingly. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effects of decoupling on the COP sector in Italy, by comparing some structural and economic indicators, based on ISTAT and FADN data, of a sample of farms before and after the 2003 reform. The analysis shows an improvement in the economic performance both for farms that kept COP specialisation and for farms that opted for a different specialisation, suggesting that decoupling farm support from production has contributed to a more efficient and market-oriented COP sector in Italy.

description: We report a detailed study of the electric-field dependence of the normal-state conductivity in La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4 thin films for two concentrations of doped holes, x=0.01 and 0.06, where formation of diagonal and vertical charged stripes was recently suggested. In order to elucidate whether high electric fields are capable of depinning the charged stripes and inducing their collective motion, we have measured current-voltage characteristics for various orientations of the electric field with respect to the crystallographic axes. However, even for the highest possible fields (~1000 V/cm for x=0.01 and \~300 V/cm for x=0.06) we observed no non-linear-conductivity features except for those related to the conventional Joule heating of the films. Our analysis indicates that Joule heating, rather than collective electron motion, may also be responsible for the non-linear conductivity observed in some other 2D transition-metal oxides as well. We discuss that a possible reason why moderate electric fields fail to induce a collective stripe motion in layered oxides is that fairly flexible and compressible charged stripes can adjust themselves to the crystal lattice and individual impurities, which makes their pinning much stronger than in the case of conventional rigid charge-density waves.

description: The Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB) is expected to be a key observable for Gravitational Wave (GW) interferometry. Its detection will open a new window on early universe cosmology and on the astrophysics of compact objects. Using a Boltzmann approach, we study the angular anisotropies of the GW energy density, which is an important tool to disentangle the different cosmological and astrophysical contributions to the SGWB. Anisotropies in the cosmological background are imprinted both at its production, and by GW propagation through the large-scale scalar and tensor perturbations of the universe. The first contribution is not present in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation (as the universe is not transparent to photons before recombination), causing an order one dependence of the anisotropies on frequency. Moreover, we provide a new method to characterize the cosmological SGWB through its possible deviation from a Gaussian statistics. In particular, the SGWB will become a new probe of the primordial non-Gaussianity of the large-scale cosmological perturbations.

description: Positive Mathematical Programming represents a useful tool for agri-environmental policy planning. This paper estimates the consequences of the application of the Regulation (EC) 1095/2007, relating to the ban on the use of the active agent Tricyclazole, which is normally employed to combat rice blast. The main objective is to quantify the variation in farmers’ revenues and the change in use of land, in response to variations in the yield of rice produced and its production costs. The research has been focussed on the rice-farming sector in the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano (PASM), a sub-urban agricultural area of the regional capital of Lombardy that, since 1990, has been a protected area and has been under the management of the Province of Milan. The data for the case study was collected in situ and combined with the data from the Agriculture Databank of Lombardy Region considering a sample of farms representative of the rice-farming sector in the PASM. The study present the results of simulations of ten different sce-narios with a view to evaluating the overall sustainability of the cautionary measures introduced.

description: This case study discusses moral dilemmas that statesmen face in international affairs. It does so by considering Singaporeâ€™s approach towards global issues that can only be alleviated through the collective effort of international society. By examining Singaporeâ€™s foreign policy towards issues such as rights violation, extreme poverty and climate change, this study raises two questions for discussion. How should we understand the tension between global justice and national interest? What are the grounds for states to contribute more towards global justice? Two sets of ideas will be surveyed to help the reader arrive at some conclusions on the above two questions. One set is located within International Relations (IR) theory, involving views from the realist, liberal and constructivist schools. The other is located within international political theory, where we consider the tension between the sovereignty of the state and the rights of the individual. The theoretical nature of the discussion will be balanced by the world of practice, through key events and speeches in Singaporeâ€™s foreign policy history.

description: We consider (flat) Cauchy-complete GH spacetimes, i.e., globally hyperbolic flat lorentzian manifolds admitting some Cauchy hypersurface on which the ambient lorentzian metric restricts as a complete riemannian metric. We define a family of such spacetimes - model spacetimes - including four subfamilies: translation spacetimes, Misner spacetimes, unipotent spacetimes, and Cauchy-hyperbolic spacetimes (the last family - undoubtfull the most interesting one - is a generalization of standart spacetimes defined by G. Mess). We prove that, up to finite coverings and (twisted) products by euclidean linear spaces, any Cauchy-complete GH spacetime can be isometrically embedded in a model spacetime, or in a twisted product of a Cauchy-hyperbolic spacetime by flat euclidean torus. We obtain as a corollary the classification of maximal GH spacetimes admitting closed Cauchy hypersurfaces. We also establish the existence of CMC foliations on every model spacetime.

description: Many problems in linear algebra -- such as those arising from non-Hermitian physics and differential equations -- can be solved on a quantum computer by processing eigenvalues of the non-normal input matrices. However, the existing Quantum Singular Value Transformation (QSVT) framework is ill-suited to this task, as eigenvalues and singular values are different in general. We present a Quantum EigenValue Transformation (QEVT) framework for applying arbitrary polynomial transformations on eigenvalues of block-encoded non-normal operators, and a related Quantum EigenValue Estimation (QEVE) algorithm for operators with real spectra. QEVT has query complexity to the block encoding nearly recovering that of the QSVT for a Hermitian input, and QEVE achieves the Heisenberg-limited scaling for diagonalizable input matrices. As applications, we develop a linear differential equation solver with strictly linear time query complexity for average-case diagonalizable operators, as well as a ground state preparation algorithm that upgrades previous nearly optimal results for Hermitian Hamiltonians to diagonalizable matrices with real spectra. Underpinning our algorithms is an efficient method to prepare a quantum superposition of Faber polynomials, which generalize the nearly-best uniform approximation properties of Chebyshev polynomials to the complex plane. Of independent interest, we also develop techniques to generate $n$ Fourier coefficients with $\mathbf{O}(\mathrm{polylog}(n))$ gates compared to prior approaches with linear cost.

description: Il cambiamento è un tema centrale della pianificazione urbana. Molti studiosi hanno guardato in questo senso alle esperienze di organizzazione dal basso, spesso con l’obiettivo di contribuire direttamente a questi esperimenti di cambiamento sociale. Queste ricerche si caratterizzano per un forte coinvolgimento politico ed emotivo dei ricercatori che può rendere però difficile l’esplicitazione di una critica delle esperienze studiate. L’articolo riflette sul tema della critica alle pratiche di auto-organizzazione dei cittadini utilizzando le ricerche di dottorato degli autori per esplorare la difficile costruzione di uno spazio di critica da parte dei ricercatori implicati concentrandosi sui vincoli emotivi, etici e relazionali. In conclusione l’articolo afferma che le voci critiche non dovrebbero essere omesse per ragioni ideologiche, di amicizia o di appartenenza, ma accolte come strumento di cambiamento e di riflessione collettiva con i partecipanti della ricerca. Since its beginnings planning has focused on how to change society. Many scholars have looked at insurgent experiences, aiming to contribute with their competences to these experiments of social change. Considering the political and emotional engagement between researchers and subjects in this field of research, the cultivation of spaces of critique is at least problematic. However, there is a lack of reflection and understanding on this issue. The article discusses the issue of critique within urban planning literature on citizen self- organization, then uses the authors’ doctoral engaged researches to explore the problematic generation of spaces of critique, focusing on emotive, political and relational issues. The paper concludes that in order for engaged research to be an effective instrument of change, critical voices should not be hidden (for ideological, friendship or belonging reasons), but should be embraced as shared fields of reflection with the participants of the research.

The Wess-Zumino term is proved coming from two kinds of sources, one is independent on and another dependent on dynamical quark self energy $Σ(k^2)$. $p^6$ and more higher order anomalous sectors come only from $Σ(k^2)$ dependent source. After some cancellation, standard Wess-Zumino action is obtained.

description: The integrated Berry curvature is a geometric property that has dramatic implications for material properties. This study investigates the integrated Berry curvature and other contributions to the anomalous Hall effect in CrGeTe$_3$ as a function of pressure. The anomalous Hall effect is absent in the insulating phase of CrGeTe$_3$ and evolves with pressure in a dome-like fashion as pressure is applied. The dome's edges are characterized by Fermi surface deformations, manifested as mixed electron and hole transport. We corroborate the presence of bipolar transport by ab-initio calculations which also predict a nonmonotonic behavior of the Berry curvature as a function of pressure. Quantitative discrepancies between our calculations and experimental results indicate that additional scattering mechanisms, which are also strongly tuned by pressure, contribute to the anomalous Hall effect in CrGeTe$_3$.

description: Background Treatment choices in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) involve consideration of tradeoffs between the benefits, toxicities, inconvenience, and costs. Stated preference elicitation methods have been used in the medical field to help evaluate complex treatment decision-making. The aim of this study was to conduct a scoping review to assess the evidence base for the use of preference elicitation tools or willingness to pay/willingness to accept methods for HCC treatment decision-making from both the patient and provider perspective. Methods We performed a scoping review to identify abstracts or manuscripts focused on the role preference elicitation tools or willingness to pay/willingness to accept methods for HCC treatment options among patients, caregivers, and/or providers. Two researchers independently screened full-text references and resolved conflicts through discussion. We summarized key findings, including the type and setting of preference-elicitation tools used for HCC treatment decisions. Results Ten published abstracts or manuscripts evaluated the role of preference elicitation tools for HCC treatments. The studies revealed several attributes that are considered by patients and providers making HCC treatment decisions. Many of the studies reviewed suggested that while patients place the most value on extending their overall survival, they are willing to forgo overall survival to avoid risks of treatments and maintain quality of life. Studies of physicians and surgeons found that provider preferences are dependent on patient characteristics, provider specialty, and surgeon or hospital-related factors. Conclusion This scoping review explored both patient and physician preferences towards treatment modalities in all stages of HCC. The studies revealed a large scope of potential attributes that may be important to patients and that many patients are willing to forgo survival to maintain quality of life. Further research should explore both preference elicitation of currently available and emerging therapies for HCC as well as the use of this data to develop patient-facing tools to assist in navigating treatment options.

description: This paper provides a review of the literature on competitiveness and leakage concerns associated with differentiated climate abatement commitments among countries. The literature reviewed is not exhausted, but it is sufficient to provide a balanced view of both academics and policy circles. Section 2 discusses how to identify the sectors at a risk of carbon leakage. Section 3 examines ex ante estimates of potential carbon leakage rates, and explains why they differ from ex post results of environmental tax reforms and greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes that have been implemented in the European Union. Section 4 discusses broad policy options to address competitiveness and leakage concerns, and compares which anti-leakage policy, border adjustments or output-based allocation, is more effective to limiting carbon leakages or mitigating production loss in the sectors affected. Given that border carbon adjustment measures are incorporated in the U.S. proposed congressional climate bills to level the carbon playing field and could have potential conflicts with World Trade Organization (WTO) provisions and practical difficulties associated with their implementation, Section 5 discuses in great detail the WTO consistency, the effectiveness and methodological challenges of border carbon adjustment measures. The paper ends with some concluding remarks.

description: In this paper we apply the canonical decomposition of two qubit unitaries to find pulse schemes to control the proposed Kane quantum computer. We explicitly find pulse sequences for the CNOT, swap, square root of swap and controlled Z rotations. We analyze the speed and fidelity of these gates, both of which compare favorably to existing schemes. The pulse sequences presented in this paper are theoretically faster, higher fidelity, and simpler than existing schemes. Any two qubit gate may be easily found and implemented using similar pulse sequences. Numerical simulation is used to verify the accuracy of each pulse scheme.

description: This paper estimates the social-welfare change due to the application of additional fire prevention measures on Mediterranean forests. The discrete choice experiment is applied to elicit the social preferences regarding fire prevention measures in terms of their impact on fire behaviour –fire propagation and intensity- and to estimate the value of these measures for the society. The results of the study show that additional fire prevention measures increase the welfare of the Catalan population and that fire propagation is the descriptor of fire behaviour that most concerns the population. This information may be used by policy makers and environmental managers to design their programmes and activities.

description: The $σ$ meson exchange model for $ρ$ photoproduction at low energies is re-examined and a new model is developed by considering explicit two-pion exchange and the $f_2$ tensor meson exchange. The $f_2$ exchange model, which is motivated by the low energy proton-proton elastic scattering, is constructed by fully taking into account of the tensor structure of the $f_2$ meson interactions. Phenomenological informations together with tensor meson dominance and vector meson dominance assumptions are used to estimate the $f_2$ meson's coupling constants. For $2π$ exchange, the loop terms including intermediate $πN$ and $ωN$ channels are calculated using the coupling constants determined from the study of pion photoproduction. It is found that our model with $f_2$ and $2π$ exchanges can successfully replace the commonly used $σ$ exchange model that suffers from the big uncertainty of the coupling constants. We found that the two models can be distinguished by examining the single and double spin asymmetries.

description: In January 2016, it became known that the Singapore Ministry of Education was considering whether to charge teachers for parking in their school compounds. Teachers were among the last civil servants to still park for free at their place of work. Government policies to control the car population had put car ownership out of reach of most Singaporeans, and even those who did drive were likely accustomed to paying for parking at their workplace. Little sympathy for the driving teachers might thus have been expected. And yet, if online reactions were representative, not only teachers but members of the public with no vested interest in the decision were strongly against a change. This case study examines the arguments for and against retaining the free parking perk, with particular emphasis on perspectives raised by netizens that policymakers may tend to overlook.
Aspect-ratio effect on the wake of a wall-mounted square cylinder immersed in a turbulent boundary layer

description: The wake topology developing behind a wall-mounted square cylinder in a turbulent boundary layer has been investigated using a high-resolution large-eddy simulation (LES). The boundary-layer thickness at the obstacle location is fixed, the Reynolds number based on the cylinder h and the incoming free-stream velocity $u_\infty$ is 10,000 while the aspect ratio (AR), defined as obstacle height divided by its width, ranges from 1 to 4. The Reynolds stresses, anisotropy-invariant maps (AIM) and the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget are analyzed to investigate the influence of AR on the wake structures and on the turbulence production and transport. In particular, the transition from a dipole configuration for low AR to a quadrupole wake is extensively discussed and examined. The necessity of more data to express this critical AR as a function of the momentum-thickness-based Reynolds number $Re_θ$ is thus highlighted. As an effect of the AR, the wake is deformed in both streamwise and spanwise directions. This contraction of the wake, attributed to the occurrence of the base vortices for the cases AR = 3 and 4, impacts the size of the positive production region that stretches from the roof and the flank of the obstacle to the wake core. The AIMs confirm the wake three-dimensionality and are used to describe the redistribution of the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) along the three normal directions, in agreement with the literature [A. J. Simonsen and P. Krogstad, Phys. Fluids 17, 088103, (2005)]. The present analysis on the TKE budget displays a stronger turbulence production for the cases AR = 3 and 4, demonstrating the strong influence of the tip and base vortices in generating turbulence at the wall location behind the cylinder.

These are derived including the main parasitic processes in a fully consistent and non-perturbative way, starting from a microscopic Hamiltonian. The average current is calculated, including the contribution of entangled and non-entangled pairs. The constraints on the operation of the device are illustrated by a calculation of the various charge state probabilities.

description: Deep learning (DL)-based solutions have emerged as promising candidates for beamforming in massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (mMIMO) systems. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to seamlessly adapt these solutions to practical deployment scenarios, typically necessitating extensive data for fine-tuning while grappling with domain adaptation and generalization issues. In response, we propose a novel approach combining Meta-Learning Domain Generalization (MLDG) with novel data augmentation techniques during fine-tuning. This approach not only accelerates adaptation to new channel environments but also significantly reduces the data requirements for fine-tuning, thereby enhancing the practicality and efficiency of DL-based mMIMO systems. The proposed approach is validated by simulating the performance of a backbone model when deployed in a new channel environment, and with different antenna configurations, path loss, and base station height parameters. Our proposed approach demonstrates superior zero-shot performance compared to existing methods and also achieves near-optimal performance with significantly fewer fine-tuning data samples.

Singaporeâ€™s Evolving Meritocracy
Creators: name: Eddie Choo,
Publisher: name: National University of Singapore
Year: 2021
Subjects: Singapore
meritocracy
education system
political system

description: This case study looks at how Singapore had been implementing the principle of meritocracy in the education system, and in politics. Singapore had been implementing meritocracy by type, creating undesirable social effects. However in recent years, the education system had become more pluralistic, creating additional pathways for students to specialise in, depending on their ability and interests. The case study also notes how the political system had been consistently meritocratic, using the market as a means of identifying possible political candidates.
The spin and charge gaps of the half-filled N-leg Kondo ladders
Creators: name: Xavier, J. C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work, we study N-leg Kondo ladders at half-filling through the density matrix renormalization group. We found non-zero spin and charge gaps for any finite number of legs and Kondo coupling $J>0$. We also show evidence of the existence of a quantum critical point in the two dimensional Kondo lattice model, in agreement with previous works. Based on the binding energy of two holes, we did not find evidence of superconductivity in the 2D Kondo lattice model close to half-filling.

FliI6-FliJ molecular motor assists with unfolding in the type III secretion export apparatus

description: The role of rotational molecular motors of the ATP synthase class is integral to the metabolism of cells. Yet the function of FliI6-FliJ complex - homologous to the F1 ATPase motor - within the flagellar export apparatus remains unclear. We use a simple two-state model adapted from studies of linear molecular motors to identify key features of this motor. The two states are the 'locked' ground state where the FliJ coiled coil filament experiences fluctuations in an asymmetric torsional potential, and a 'free' excited state in which FliJ undergoes rotational diffusion. Michaelis-Menten kinetics was used to treat transitions between these two states, and obtain the average angular velocity of the FliJ filament within the FliI6 stator: ~9.0 rps. The motor was then studied under external counter torque conditions in order to ascertain its maximal power output: Pmax ~42 kBT/s, and the stall torque: ~3 kBT/rad. Two modes of action within the flagellar export apparatus are proposed, in which the motor performs useful work either by continuously 'grinding' through the resistive environment, or by exerting equal and opposite stall force on it. In both cases, the resistance is provided by flagellin subunits entering the flagellar export channel prior to their unfolding. We therefore propose that the function of the FliI6-FliJ complex is to lower the energy barrier and therefore assist in unfolding of the flagellar proteins before feeding them into the transport channel.

description: Innovation is defined as the development and implementation of new ideas by people who over time engage in transactions with others within an institutional order. This simple and seemingly innocuous definition has major implications for managing innovation. This definition focuses on four basic factors (new ideas, people, transactions, and institutional context). And understanding of how these factors are related lead to four basic problems confronting most general managers: (1) a human problem of managing attention, (2) a process problem in managing new ideas into good currency, (3) a structural problem of managing part-whole relationships, and (4) a strategic problem of institutional leadership. Appreciating these problems and their consequences provides a first step in developing a practical theory on the management of innovation.

description: Let $E_{/\mathbb{Q}}$ be an elliptic curve with rank $E(\mathbb{Q})=0$. Fix an odd prime $p$, a positive integer $n$ and a finite abelian extension $K/\mathbb{Q}$ with rank $E(K) = 0$. In this paper, we show that there exist infinitely many extensions $L/K$ such that $L/\mathbb{Q}$ is Galois with $\operatorname{Gal}(L/\mathbb{Q}) \simeq \operatorname{Gal}(K/\mathbb{Q}) \ltimes \mathbb{Z}/p^n\mathbb{Z}$, and rank $E(L)=0$. This is an extension of earlier results on rank stability of elliptic curves in cyclic extensions of prime power order to a non-abelian setting. We also obtain an asymptotic lower bound for the number of such extensions, ordered by their absolute discriminant.
