description: A proposal for integrating farm level conservation programs with other government farm programs is analyzed to determine the potential impacts on conservation incentives. Because many of the benefits of farm programs are due to resulting risk reduction, the impacts of cross compliance are analyzed in a quadratic risk programming framework.
A COMPARATIVE-AREAL STUDY OF THE FERGANA VALLEY'S DOPPIDO LEXICON
Creators: name: Mamatova, Dilafroz
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study explores the linguistic landscape of the Fergana Valley through a comparative-areal analysis of the doppido lexicon. The Fergana Valley, situated in Central Asia, is known for its rich linguistic diversity, where various languages and dialects coexist. The doppido lexicon, a unique linguistic feature of the region, presents an intriguing opportunity to investigate language contact, borrowing, and evolution within this complex linguistic environment. By examining the doppido lexicon across different languages spoken in the Fergana Valley, this study aims to shed light on the mechanisms of lexical diffusion and adaptation in multilingual settings.

description: We compute the finite size effects in the ground state energy, equivalently the effective central charge c_{eff}, based on S-matrix theories recently conjectured to describe a cyclic regime of the Kosterlitz-Thouless renormalization group flows. The effective central charge has periodic properties consistent with renormalization group predictions. Whereas c_{eff} for the massive case has a singularity in the very deep ultra-violet, we argue that the massless version is non-singular and periodic on all length scales.

description: Graphon-based control has recently been proposed and developed to solve control problems for dynamical systems on networks which are very large or growing without bound (see Gao and Caines, CDC 2017, CDC 2018). In this paper, spectral representations, eigenfunctions and approximations of graphons, and their applications to graphon-based control are studied. First, spectral properties of graphons are presented and then approximations based on Fourier approximated eigenfunctions are analyzed. Within this framework, two classes of graphons with simple spectral representations are given. Applications to graphon-based control analysis are next presented; in particular, the controllability of systems distributed over very large networks is expressed in terms of the properties of the corresponding graphon dynamical systems. Moreover, spectral analysis based upon real-world network data is presented, which demonstrates that low-dimensional spectral approximations of networks are possible. Finally, an initial, exploratory investigation of the utility of the spectral analysis methodology in graphon systems control to study the control of epidemic spread is presented.

description: We perform a perturbative QCD analysis of the gravitational form factors (GFFs) of nucleon at large momentum transfer. We derive the explicit factorization formula of the GFFs in terms of twist-3 and twist-4 light-cone distribution amplitudes of nucleon. Power behaviors for these GFFs are obtained from the leading order calculations. Numeric results of the quark and gluon contributions to various GFFs are presented with model assumptions for the distribution amplitudes in the literature. We also present the perturbative calculations of the scalar form factor $\langle P'|F^2| P\rangle$ for pion and proton at large momentum transfer.

description: The problems associated with limited dependent variables in recreation demand models have been generally ignored in previous research efforts. A probable reason for not considering these problems is that practical procedures to test for truncated bias have only tecently become available. A method suggested by Olsen can serve as an indicator regarding the severity of possible sample truncation bias inherent in OLS estimates of recreation demand parameters. This paper illustrates Olsen's method for wilderness recreation demand models. The results illustrate that a simple transformation of parameter estimates associated with OLS can indicate a possible sample truncation problem.

description: The problem of finding the optimal portfolio for investors is called the portfolio optimization problem. Such problem mainly concerns the expectation and variability of return (i.e., mean and variance). Although the variance would be the most fundamental risk measure to be minimized, it has several drawbacks. Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) is a relatively new risk measure that addresses some of the shortcomings of well-known variance-related risk measures, and because of its computational efficiencies, it has gained popularity. CVaR is defined as the expected value of the loss that occurs beyond a certain probability level ($β$). However, portfolio optimization problems that use CVaR as a risk measure are formulated with a single $β$ and may output significantly different portfolios depending on how the $β$ is selected. We confirm even small changes in $β$ can result in huge changes in the whole portfolio structure. In order to improve this problem, we propose RM-CVaR: Regularized Multiple $β$-CVaR Portfolio. We perform experiments on well-known benchmarks to evaluate the proposed portfolio. Compared with various portfolios, RM-CVaR demonstrates a superior performance of having both higher risk-adjusted returns and lower maximum drawdown.

description: Pulses from 16 previously known rotating radio transients (RRAT) have been searched at the 110 MHz daily monitor program for 4 to 5.5 years by using the Large-Phased-Array (LPA) at Pushchino. The total number of pulses detected in such a long observation interval is only 90 pulses for RRAT J0640+07 or is as high as 10,751 pulses for RRAT J0302+22. The number and amplitude of pulses varies at a time-scales from six to twenty months for RRATs J1336+33, J1404+11, J1848+15, J2051+12, J2105+22, and the pulse number can increase by one or two orders of magnitude in active phases. The long-term trends are found for RRATs J0139+33 and J0302+22, showing a 2-3 times increase in detected pulse number over 1,959 days. Some RRATs show the annual variations on both pulse number and pulse amplitude. It is hard to explain all these variation time scales by refractive scintillation on the interstellar medium. The annual and semi-annual variations are likely caused by scintillations of the inhomogeneous interplanetary plasma. Our data show that the number of observational sessions with no pulse detection over the threshold decreases exponentially with the length of pulse silence.

description: We present a theory of the current-voltage characteristics of a magnetic domain wall between two highly spin-polarized materials, which takes into account the effect of the electrical bias on the spin-flip probability of an electron crossing the wall. We show that increasing the voltage reduces the spin-flip rate, and is therefore equivalent to reducing the width of the domain wall. As an application, we show that this effect widens the temperature window in which the operation of a unipolar spin diode is nearly ideal.

description: The new version of the gedanken experiment proposed by Sorce and Wald has been used to examine the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) for black holes at the second-order approximation of the matter fields perturbation. However, only considering the perturbation until the second-order approximation is incomplete because there is an optimal option such that the existing condition of the event horizon vanishes at second-order. For this circumstance, we cannot judge whether the WCCC is satisfied at this order. In our investigation, the $k$th-order perturbation inequality is generally derived. Using the inequalities, we examine the WCCC for nearly extremal Reissner-Nordstöm black holes at higher-order approximation. It is shown that the WCCC cannot be violated yet after the perturbation. From this result, it can be indicated that the WCCC is strictly satisfied at the perturbation level for nearly extremal RN black holes.

description: We investigate the numerical stability of accelerated AdS black holes against linear scalar perturbations. In particular, we study the evolution of a probe non-minimally coupled scalar field on Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordström AdS black holes with small accelerations by computing the quasinormal modes of the perturbation spectrum. We decompose the scalar field Klein-Gordon equation and study the eigenvalue problem for its angular and radial-temporal parts using different numerical methods. The angular part is written in terms of the Heun solution and expanded through the Frobenius method which turns out to give eigenvalues qualitatively similar to the ones obtained through the spherical harmonics representation. The radial-temporal evolution renders a stable field profile which is decomposed in terms of damped and purely imaginary oscillations of the quasinormal modes. We calculate the respective frequencies for different spacetime parameters showing the existence of a fine-structure in the modes, for both real and imaginary parts, which is not present in the non-accelerated AdS black holes. Our results indicate that the Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordström AdS black holes with small accelerations are stable against linear scalar perturbations.

description: Comme révélé par la recherche, afin d’améliorer sa capacité à communiquer, un apprenant doit remarquer des aspects particuliers de la langue. L’attention de l’apprenant peut être portée aux divers aspects de la langue par la rétroaction corrective RC. Parmi les six méthodes de la RC identifiées par Lyster et Ranta (1997), les reformulations sont utilisées la plus fréquemment. Tandis qu’elles ne sont pas la méthode de RC la plus efficace selon les auteurs, les reformulations sont particulièrement utiles quand elles sont courtes et utilisées pour les structures complexes ou au-delà de l’habileté des apprenants (Shrum et Glisan, 2009). Par contre, la négociation de la forme qui englobe l’incitation, la demande de clarification, les indices linguistiques et la répétition de l’erreur impliquent l’apprenant dans Tautorégulation. En surlignant et fournissant l’information au sujet de son erreur, l’enseignant permet à l’apprenant d’établir des liens entre ses connaissances déclaratives et procédurales (Lyster, 1998). Au fur et à mesure de la négociation, les connaissances d’un apprenant deviennent plus approfondies. De plus, à cause du fait que l’enseignant retient la réparation de l’apprenant, l’autre doit se servir de ses propres ressources pour réparer son erreur. Avec chaque négociation, l’apprenant teste, modifie et reformule ses hypothèses selon la rétroaction qu’il reçoit de l’enseignant.

description: We explore the X-ray properties of optically selected QSOs spectroscopically identified in the course of the 2dF QSO survey (2QZ). Our main goal is to expand to higher redshifts previous findings suggesting the presence of a fraction of X-ray obscured sources among the low redshift optically selected broad line AGN population. The X-ray data are from the wide field (~2.5 sq. deg), shallow $[f(0.5 - 8 keV) ~10^-14 egs s^-1 cm^-2 XMM-Newton/2dF survey. A total of 96 2QZ QSOs overlap with the area covered by our X-ray survey. 66 of them have X-ray counterparts while 30 remain undetected in our X-ray survey. The 66 X-ray detected QSOs have a mean photon index of ~2 suggesting little or no X-ray obscuration for most of these sources. Individual X-ray spectral fittings reveal only 1 source (intrinsic Lx(0.5-8 keV) ~ 10^44 erg s^-1 at z=0.82) that is likely to be obscured (NH~10^23 cm^-2) at the 90% confidence level. Additionally, there are 9 2QZ sources that show evidence for moderate absorption (mean observed NH of ~10^21 cm^-2). For the 30 QSOs that remain undetected in our X-ray survey we use stacking analysis to estimate a mean hardness ratio of -0.59 +/- 0.11 suggesting that the bulk of this population has NH consistent with the Galactic value. However, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of these sources have enhanced photoelectric absorption that is not revealed in the mean stacked spectrum. We estimate a lower limit to the fraction of optically selected QSO with X-ray absorption of about 10% (10 out of 96).

description: Operating large-scale scientific facilities often requires fast tuning and robust control in a high dimensional space. In this paper we introduce a new physics-informed optimization algorithm based on Gaussian process regression. Our method takes advantage of the existing domain knowledge in the form of realizations of a physics model of the observed system. We have applied a physics-informed Gaussian Process method experimentally at the SPEAR3 storage ring to demonstrate online accelerator optimization. This method outperforms Gaussian Process trained on data as well as the standard approach routinely used for operation, in terms of convergence speed and optimal point. The proposed method could be applicable to automatic tuning and control of other complex systems, without a prerequisite for any observed data.

description: Biflagellate algal cells of the genus Volvox form spherical colonies that propel themselves, vertically upwards in still fluid, by the coordinated beating of thousands of flagella, that also cause the colonies to rotate about their vertical axes. When they are swimming in a chamber of finite depth, pairs (or more) of Volvox carteri colonies were observed by Drescher et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 168101 (2009)] to exhibit hydrodynamic bound states when they are close to a rigid horizontal boundary. When the boundary is above, the colonies are attracted to each other and orbit around each other in a `waltz'; when the boundary is below they perform more complex `minuet' motions. These dances are simulated in the present paper, using a novel `spherical squirmer' model of a colony in which, instead of a time-independent but $θ$-dependent tangential velocity being imposed on the spherical surface (radius $a$; $θ$ is the polar angle), a time-independent and uniform tangential shear stress is applied to the fluid on a sphere of radius $(1+ε)a, ε\ll 1$, where $εa$ represents the length of the flagella. The fluid must satisfy the no-slip condition on the sphere at radius $a$. In addition to the shear stress, the motions depend on two dimensionless parameters that describe the effect of gravity on a colony: $F_g$, proportional to the ratio of the sedimentation speed of a non-swimming colony to its swimming speed, and $G_{bh}$, that represents the fact that colonies are bottom-heavy...

description: We report the results of six years (2013-2018) of measurements of $^{222}$Rn air concentration, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure and temperature in the halls A, B and C of the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (LSC). We have calculated all the Pearson correlation coefficients among these parameters and we have found a positive correlation between the $^{222}$Rn concentration and the relative humidity. Both correlated variables show a seasonal periodicity. The joint analysis of laboratory data and four years (2015-2018) of the meteorological variables outside the laboratory shows the correlation between the $^{222}$Rn concentration and the outside temperature. The collected information stresses the relevance of designing good Rn-mitigation strategies in current and future experiments at LSC; in particular, we have checked for two years (2017-2018) the good performance of the mitigation procedure of the ANAIS--112 experiment. Finally, in another measurement (2019-2021) for two years of live time, we report an upper limit to the residual $^{222}$Rn content of the radon-free air provided by the radon abatement system installed in the laboratory.

description: Crosstalk is a major source of noise in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) systems and is a fundamental challenge for hardware design. When multiple instructions are executed in parallel, crosstalk between the instructions can corrupt the quantum state and lead to incorrect program execution. Our goal is to mitigate the application impact of crosstalk noise through software techniques. This requires (i) accurate characterization of hardware crosstalk, and (ii) intelligent instruction scheduling to serialize the affected operations. Since crosstalk characterization is computationally expensive, we develop optimizations which reduce the characterization overhead. On three 20-qubit IBMQ systems, we demonstrate two orders of magnitude reduction in characterization time (compute time on the QC device) compared to all-pairs crosstalk measurements. Informed by these characterization, we develop a scheduler that judiciously serializes high crosstalk instructions balancing the need to mitigate crosstalk and exponential decoherence errors from serialization. On real-system runs on three IBMQ systems, our scheduler improves the error rate of application circuits by up to 5.6x, compared to the IBM instruction scheduler and offers near-optimal crosstalk mitigation in practice. In a broader picture, the difficulty of mitigating crosstalk has recently driven QC vendors to move towards sparser qubit connectivity or disabling nearby operations entirely in hardware, which can be detrimental to performance. Our work makes the case for software mitigation of crosstalk errors.

description: In continuing our earlier research, we find the formulae needed to determine the arbitrary functions in the Lemaitre-Tolman model when the evolution proceeds from a given initial velocity distribution to a final state that is determined either by a density distribution or by a velocity distribution. In each case the initial and final distributions uniquely determine the L-T model that evolves between them, and the sign of the energy-function is determined by a simple inequality. We also show how the final density profile can be more accurately fitted to observational data than was done in our previous paper. We work out new numerical examples of the evolution: the creation of a galaxy cluster out of different velocity distributions, reflecting the current data on temperature anisotropies of CMB, the creation of the same out of different density distributions, and the creation of a void. The void in its present state is surrounded by a nonsingular wall of high density.

description: Significant effects of electric currents on mass transport in liquid metals have been observed for long, but the origin of the corresponding driving forces remains unclear in the literature. Without current, two driving forces induce mass transport in liquid metals. (i) A chemical force, coming from concentration gradients. In that case, mass transport occurs by diffusion. (ii) A physical force, resulting from density gradients thermally and/or chemically induced. Here, mass transport occurs by thermal and/or solutal convection. Under electric currents, these driving forces are modified, either by electrostatic or magnetic forces, the corresponding mechanisms being referred to as electroconvection and magnetoconvection, respectively. However, these mechanisms cannot easily be distinguished from each other, leading to confusion in literature. Here, it has been shown that, in the liquid Sn-Zn system, the driving force induced by 500-1000 A/cm 2 electric current densities is magnetic rather than electrostatic, the mechanism being therefore magnetoconvection.

A systematic approach to writing in primary French immersion classroom
Creators: name: Buchanan, Nicole Cherie
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Writing is a fundamental aspect throughout one's life. This paper explores the use of Culham's (2003) 6+1 Writing Traits" in a Grade 2 and 3 French immersion classroom and investigates its effects on the teacher's creative writing program. The focus of the unit is the chapter on "Les idées" from Ma trousse d'écriture(Spandel, 2007), the French version of the 6+1 Writing Traits. Background information about the context is provided and the teacher's previous experience in the classroom is discussed, including strategies used and difficulties that arose when teaching emergent writers. A review of the research literature highlights the importance of explicitly teaching writing to emergent writers and the benefits of using a writing program, such as 6+1 Writing Traits. It further examines how to motivate emergent writers, the positive aspects of self-evaluation and the application of different writing strategies. Following a brief description of the classroom environment and an explanation about the process of the writing unit, the evaluation method is outlined as well as a breakdown of the four concepts taught from "Les idées". The discussion section presents some reflections regarding the successes and plans for each concept taught as well as the overall outcomes of the unit and considerations for the future.

description: A weak continuous quantum measurement of an atomic spin ensemble can be implemented via Faraday rotation of an off-resonance probe beam, and may be used to create and probe nonclassical spin states and dynamics. We show that the probe light shift leads to nonlinearity in the spin dynamics and limits the useful Faraday measurement window. Removing the nonlinearity allows a non-perturbing measurement on the much longer timescale set by decoherence. The nonlinear spin Hamiltonian is of interest for studies of quantum chaos and real-time quantum state estimation.

description: Since the ($β$-deformed) hermitian one-matrix models can be represented as the integrated conformal field theory (CFT) expectation values, we construct the operators in terms of the generators of the Heisenberg algebra such that the constraints can be derived by inserting the constructed operators into the integrated expectation values. We also obtain the second order total derivative operators associating with the derived constraint operators and analyze their properties. We explore the intrinsic connection between the derived constraint operators and $W$-representations of some matrix models. For the Gaussian hermitian one-matrix model in the external field and $β$-deformed $N\times N$ complex matrix model, we investigate the superintegrability and derive the corresponding character expansions from their $W$-representations. Moreover a conjectured formula for the averages of Jack polynomials in the literature is proved.

description: Gamow shell model (GSM) is usually performed within the Woods-Saxon (WS) basis in which the WS parameters need to be determined by fitting experimental single-particle energies including their resonance widths. In the multi-shell case, such a fit is difficult due to the lack of experimental data of cross-shell single-particle energies and widths. In this paper, we develop an {\it ab-initio} GSM by introducing the Gamow Hartree-Fock (GHF) basis that is obtained using the same interaction as the one used in the construction of the shell-model Hamiltonian. GSM makes use of the complex-momentum Berggren representation, then including resonance and continuum components. Hence, GSM gives a good description of weakly bound and unbound nuclei. Starting from chiral effective field theory and employing many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) (called nondegenerate $\hat Q$-box folded-diagram renormalization) in the GHF basis, a multi-shell Hamiltonian ({\it sd-pf} shells in this work) can be constructed. The single-particle energies and their resonance widths can also been obtained using MBPT. We investigated $^{23-28}$O and $^{23-31}$F isotopes, for which multi-shell calculations are necessary. Calculations show that continuum effects and the inclusion of the {\it pf} shell are important elements to understand the structure of nuclei close to and beyond driplines.

description: We present results from a 25 ksec CHANDRA ACIS-S observation of galaxies NGC4438 and NGC4435 in the Virgo Cluster. X-ray emission in NGC4438 is observed in a ~700 pc nuclear region, a 2.3 kpc spherical bulge, and a network of filaments extending 4-10 kpc to the W and SW of the galaxy. The X-ray emission in all 3 regions is highly correlated to similar features observed in Halpha. Spectra of the filaments and bulge are well represented by a 0.4 keV MEKAL model with combined 0.3-2 keV intrinsic luminosity of 1.24x10^{40}erg/s, electron densities ~ 0.02-0.04 cm^{-3}, cooling times of 400-700 Myr and X-ray gas mass

description: In general relativity, the Kerr metric uniquely represents the geometry surrounding an isolated, rotating black hole. An identification of significant non-Kerr features in some astrophysical source would then provide a `smoking-gun' for the break-down of general relativity in the strong-field regime. On the other hand, Kerr black holes are common to many other theories of gravity, and thus a validation of the Kerr metric does not necessarily favour general relativity amongst all possibilities. The nature of gravitational perturbations will however differ between different theories of gravity. Future precision tests involving gravitational waves from oscillating black holes, such as identifications of the quasi-normal mode spectrum from ring-down, will thus be able to probe the underlying theory, even if the object is Kerr. Here, we write down the equations governing metric perturbations of a Kerr black hole in $f(R)$ gravity in a form that is more conducive to numerical study.

description: Dimensional deconstruction of 5D SQCD with general n_c, n_f and k_CS gives rise to 4D N=1 gauge theories with large quivers of SU(n_c) gauge factors. We construct the chiral rings of such [SU(n_c)]^N theories, off-shell and on-shell. Our results are broadly similar to the chiral rings of single U(n_c) theories with both adjoint and fundamental matter, but there are also some noteworthy differences such as nonlocal meson-like operators where the quark and antiquark fields belong to different nodes of the quiver. And because our gauge groups are SU(n_c) rather than U(n_c), our chiral rings also contain a whole zoo of baryonic and antibaryonic operators.
