Cultural Resistance To Covid-19
Creators: name: Andrade, Pedro
Publisher: name: CAP - Public Art Journal
Year: 2020

description: In the present pandemia situation, new solutions must be found, to overcame the impact of the Covid-19. This text discusses two of those collective answers: 1. Socio-cultural resistance movements organized by art professionals and their publics. 2. A practical knowledge instrument for such action. One of the most relevant publics of public art is the cultural tourist. In this articulation between a social activity and an agent, a practical sociological objective lies in the construction of concrete tools for clarifying public art applied to tourism activities. For example, in the form of an Encyclopedia of Public Art, which can be useful for various agents involved in both the cultural world of public art and in the social universe of tourism. These public art’s agents or publics, and tourist audiences, include researchers, teachers, students, travel agencies, museums, galleries and other institutions, NGOs, cultural associations, as well as tourists, citizens and immigrants. For this purpose, a brief Glossary of Public Art is presented here, one of the necessary tools for the construction of the Encyclopedia of Public Art. The themes and issues announced and enunciated, to be included in the Encyclopedia, are divided into two areas: (a) current social processes: eg. mobile cultures and arts, graffiti, digital public art, creative city, smart city, city 3.0, culture 3.0, web 3.0 or social-semantic network, digital cultural tourism, tourism 3.0, creative and innovative tourism, communicative tourism, mobile locative tourism; (b) theories, concepts and new methodologies for the study of public art addressed to tourist communication: among others, public art communication studies, hybridology, hybrid methods, hybrimedia.

description: In the presence of a minimal uncertainty in length, there exists a critical temperature above which the thermodynamics of a gas of radiation changes drastically. We find that the equilibrium temperature of a system composed of a Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by radiation is unaffected by these modifications. This is in agreement with works related to the robustness of the Hawking evaporation. The only change the deformation introduces concerns the critical volume at which the system ceases to be stable. On the contrary, the evolution of the very early universe is sensitive to the new behavior. We readdress the shortcomings of the standard big bang model(flatness, entropy and horizon problems) in this context, assuming a minimal coupling to general relativity. Although they are not solved, some qualitative differences set in.

description: In a recent paper (Phys. Rev. {\bf B 67}, 094502 (2003)) Mao et al. investigated the bias-dependent conductance of mechanical junctions between superconducting MgCNi$_3$ and a sharp W tip. They interpreted their results in terms of 'single-particle tunneling'. We show it is more likely that current transport through those junctions is determined by thermal effects due to the huge normal-state resistivity of MgCNi$_3$. Therefore no conclusion can be drawn about the possible unconventional pairing or strong-coupling superconductivity in MgCNi$_3$.

Testing consistency of $Ω_b h^2$ in the Planck data
Creators: name: Motloch, Pavel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We find that the cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization power spectra measurements from Planck constrain the parameter $Ω_bh^2$ mostly through: A) the amplitude of Thomson scattering and B) a factor that ensures Thomson scattering does not violate momentum conservation of the baryon-photon fluid. This allows us to obtain two distinct but comparably strong constraints on $Ω_b h^2$ from the Planck data alone. They are consistent, showing robustness of the Planck $Ω_b h^2$ constraint. We can alternatively rephrase these constraints as A) the change of the Thomson scattering cross section since recombination is less than $\sim 2\%$ and B) momentum during recombination is conserved to better than $\sim 2\%$ by Thomson scattering. Decoupling the eight various ways in which $Ω_b h^2$ affects the Planck data leads to $H_0$ only slightly higher than in the standard analysis, $(68.3 \pm 1.6)\,\mathrm{km/s/Mpc}$. The overall consistency of all $Ω_b h^2$ constraints does not suggest any problem with the standard cosmological model.

description: AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a critical energy sensor, regulating signaling networks involved in pathology including metabolic diseases and cancer. This increasingly recognized role of AMPK has prompted tremendous research efforts to develop new pharmacological AMPK activators. To precisely study the role of AMPK, and the specificity and activity of AMPK activators in cellular models, genetic AMPK inactivating tools are required. We report here methods for genetic inactivation of AMPK $\alpha1/ \alpha2$ catalytic subunits in human cell lines by the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, a recent breakthrough technique for genome editing.

description: The irrational use of irrigation water resources is a major constraint to agricultural development in the watersheds of Morocco, including the Tadla sub-basin. It is essential for these areas to have effective instruments for managing and organizing the control and distribution of water resources and to ensure their protection and conservation. Within this context, this study focused on the Tadla sub-basin, where there has been a marked decrease in the supply of irrigation water. Using a dynamic agro-economic model called ‘TADMOD’ (for TADla Basin MODel), which classifies agricultural units according to their different sources of irrigation water, the study’s main purpose was to analyse the interannual variations in selected irrigation water management indicators. One of the most important indicators studied here was irrigation water shadow price between 2011 and 2020. The results of the analysis revealed important differences in this indicator value among the observed agricultural units. Its average value, calculated by TADMOD, was about 1.33 MAD4 (Moroccan Dirham) per cubic metre of water. The model showed that, over the ten simulated years, reduced water supplies in the Tadla sub-basin would lead to an increase of 33.2%, on average, in the irrigation water shadow price and to a decline in the cultivated area and total consumption of irrigation water. The reduction in the cultivated area would lead to a slight fall in valueadded, estimated at 3,180.78 million MAD per year in 2010-11, the first year of simulation.

description: We present an analysis of CCD photometric observations of the eclipsing novalike cataclysmic variable DW UMa obtained in two different luminosity states: high and intermediate. The star presents eclipses with very different depth: ~1.2 mag in the high and ~3.4 mag in the intermediate state. Eclipse mapping reveals that this difference is almost entirely due to the changes in the accretion disc radius: from ~0.5RL1 in the intermediate state to ~0.75RL1 in the high state (RL1 is the distance from the white dwarf to the first Lagrangian point). In the intermediate state, the entire disc is eclipsed while in the high state, its outer part remains visible. We also find that the central intensity of the disc is nearly the same in the two luminosity states and that it is the increase of the disc radius that is responsible for the final rise from the 1999/2000 low state. We find that the intensity profile of the disc is rather flat and suggest a possible explanation. We also discuss the effect of using a more realistic limb-darkening law on the disc temperatures inferred from eclipse mapping experiments. Periodogram analysis of the high state data reveals "positive superhumps" with a period of 0.1455 in 2002 and 0.1461 in 2003, in accord with the results of Patterson et al. However, we cannot confirm the quasi-periodic oscillations reported by these authors. We obtain an updated orbital ephemeris of DW UMa: Tmin[HJD]=2446229.00687(9)+0.136606527(3)E.

Bubble entrainment by a sphere falling through a horizontal soap foam

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We simulate the quasi-static motion of a spherical particle through a stable, horizontal soap film. The soap film subtends a fixed contact angle, in the range $10-135^\circ$, where it meets the particle. The tension and pressure forces acting on the particle are calculated in two cases: when the film is held within a vertical cylinder, trapping a bubble but otherwise free to move vertically, and when the outer rim of the film is held in a fixed circular wire frame. Film deformation is greater in the second case, and the duration of the interaction therefore increases, increasing the contact time between particle and film. As the soap film returns towards its equilibrium shape following the passage of the particle a small bubble is trapped for contact angles below a threshold value of $90^\circ$. We show that this bubble is larger when the particle is larger and when the contact angle is smaller.

description: Paradoxically, high rates of soil testing by Irish dairy farmers coexist with declining national soil fertility levels. This study investigates the anomaly further through identifying the characteristics of farms and farmers who regularly test soil in terms of policy, education, financial capacity, networks, and landmanagement practices. The study draws on data from a nationally representative sample of 231 specialist Irish dairy holdings. As policy mandates the use of soil tests for some farmers, a sub-sample of nonmandated farms is analysed separately. Findings comparing testers and non-testers show all farmers testing their soil on a regular basis are younger, have larger farms and herds, have larger gross output, have greater expenditure on nitrogen, and are more profitable, compared to farmers who do not. The analysis also shows nationally there is no significant difference in fertilizer and concentrate expenditure per hectare between soil test users and non-users, also reflected in the sub-sample. The logit regression analysis of the full sample suggests policy and extension programmes have a significant effect on adoption, however given national falling soil fertility trends farmers may not be using the results to achieve optimal outcomes. For the voluntary sub-sample farmers who attended part-time education courses and improved farmland through reseeding are more likely to regularly soil test. These findings are important in the context of the somewhat contradictory environmentally-focused and productivity-focused policy instruments that drive regular soil testing behaviour and the anomaly of high rates of soil testing with declining national soil fertility levels.

By means of a master equation formalism, we discuss the modification of the condensate temperature during the loading. We identify the threshold temperature, $T_{th}$, above (below) which the loading process leads to cooling (heating), respectively. The consequences of our analysis for the continuous loading of an atom laser are discussed.

description: The main purpose of this research project is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of the recruitment strategies used by some Vancouver-based school districts in terms of their impacts on Chinese students’ choice of high schools, and enrollment decisions from the perspective of administrators in charge of international departments. Data were collected from interviews with administrators from two Vancouver school districts and from on-line documents. Data were analyzed by using a pull-push model (Chen, 2006), which led to the formulation of recommendations for possible improvements for Vancouver-based School Districts with respect to effectiveness of promotional activities. The research findings reveal quality of Canadian education, inclusive Canadian environment, and Canada policy toward international students as pulling factors in attracting Chinese students. Specifically, proximity to China is an important factor in pulling Chinese students to Vancouver area from the perspective of administrators. In particular, the findings suggest that websites, agents, and seminars are effective promotional tools used by participating school districts in highlighting these pulling factors. The nature of the recommendations made to participating districts is to emphasize pull factors when conducting seminars or designing brochures and websites in attracting international students from China.

description: This paper analyses current farmland prices in five US states and five Canadian provinces to assess whether and to what extent there are current price premiums for ‘‘irrational exuberance’’ and non-farm influences such as urbanization, hobby farms, commercial development and other non-farm uses. It appears that the farmland market in North America is in a boom period, showing significant premiums for irrational exuberance. If interest rates continue to be low and commodity prices return to higher levels, these premiums could get even larger in the next few years. However, if inflation and interest rates rise while commodity prices remain lower, we may see a significant farmland price correction.
Evolution of diffuse scalar clouds around binary black holes

description: The use of modern effective field theory techniques has sparked significant developments in many areas of physics, including the study of gravity. Case in point, such techniques have recently been used to show that binary black holes can amplify incident, low-frequency radiation due to an interplay between absorption at the horizons and momentum transfer in the bulk of the spacetime. In this paper, we further examine the consequences of this superradiant mechanism on the dynamics of an ambient scalar field by taking the binary's long-range gravitational potential into account at the nonperturbative level. Doing so allows us to capture the formation of scalar clouds that are gravitationally bound to the binary. If the scalar is light enough, the cloud can be sufficiently diffuse (i.e., dilute while having considerable spatial extent) that it engulfs the binary as a whole. Its subsequent evolution exhibits an immensely rich phenomenology, which includes exponential growth, beating patterns, and the upscattering of bound states into scalar waves. While we find that these effects have negligible influence on the binary's inspiral in the regime wherein our approximations are valid, they offer new, analytic insight into how binary black holes interact with external perturbations. They may also provide useful, qualitative intuition for interpreting the results from future numerical simulations of these complex systems.

description: This study assesses the livelihood sustainability of smallholder livestock farmers in the Northeast Region of Thailand. Three livestock farming systems, ruminant (RM), non-ruminant (NRM), and mixed livestock farming (MF) were analysed. A total of 205 households were sampled in a district that focuses on livestock farming. Linear discriminant analysis was used to identify significant contributing factors to sustainability. For RM and MF, the income-expenditure ratio was identified as a significant factor, and for NRM the significant factor is adequate experience with livestock rearing. The results suggest that livestock farming is a good livelihood option for smallholders. Human assets are vital and need to be improved through training supported by appropriate information systems for livelihood improvement. The concerned agencies, particularly government and local organizations, could be more proactively involved in terms of policy planning, project formulation, and implementation.

Poynting Flux Dominated Jets in Decreasing Density Atmospheres. I. The Non-relativistic Current-driven Kink Instability and the Formation of "Wiggled" Structures

description: Non-relativistic three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of Poynting flux dominated (PFD) jets are presented. Our study focuses on the propagation of strongly magnetized hypersonic, but sub-Alfvénic ($C^{2}_{\rm s} \ll V^{2}_{\rm jet} < V^{2}_{\rm A}$) flow and on the subsequent development of a current-driven (CD) kink instability. This instability may be responsible for the ``wiggled'' structures seen in sub-parsec scale (VLBI) jets. In the present paper, we investigate the nonlinear behavior of PFD jets in a variety of external ambient magnetized gas distributions, including those with density, pressure, and temperature gradients. Our numerical results show that the jets can develop CD distortions in the trans-Alfvénic flow case, even when the flow itself is still strongly magnetically dominated. An internal non-axisymmetric body mode grows on time scales of order of the Alfvén crossing time and distorts the structure and magnetic configuration of the jet. The kink ($m=1$) mode of the CD instability, driven by the radial component of the Lorentz force, grows faster than other higher order modes ($m>1$). In the jet frame the mode grows locally and expands radially at each axial position where the jet is unstable: the instability, therefore, does not propagate as a wave along the jet length. A naturally-occurring, external helically magnetized wind, which is (quasi-) axially current-free, surrounds the well-collimated current-carrying jet and reduces velocity shear between the jet and external medium. This stabilizes the growth of MHD Kelvin-Helmholtz surface modes in the inner jet flow.

description: The rising average age of farmers and low level of young farmer entry is viewed as problematic on a global scale and farm partnerships are presented as a possible means by which farm succession and inheritance could take place in a timely manner. Using the example of Ireland, this research investigates a recent proposal by government to introduce a tax relief as an incentive for farmers to part take in farm partnerships. In this discussion, a hypothetical microsimulation model is used to investigate the possible outcomes of such a tax relief, with scenarios created to examine how this would materialise. It draws on the Teagasc National Farm Survey data which provides Irish data to the Farm Accountancy Data Network in the European Commission. The findings illustrate that even with a tax relief, cattle rearing farms would struggle to reap any economic benefit from entering a farm partnership, while their dairy counterparts would receive more value from tax reliefs. Results also indicate that farm viability will play a large role in whether or not collaborative farming is viewed as an option for farmers.
Holographic Interpretation of Relative State Complexity

description: We investigate a large-$N$ CFT in a high-energy pure state coupled to a small auxiliary system of $M$ weakly-interacting degrees of freedom, and argue the relative state complexity of the auxiliary system is holographically dual to an effective low-energy notion of computational cost in the bulk, \textit{i.e.} to the minimal depth of the quantum circuit required to decode its gravitational dual. In light of this, using Nielsen's approach, a new measure of quantum chaos in terms of the evolution of circuit complexity is proposed. It suggests that studying the evolution of circuit complexity of the auxiliary system can teach us about the chaotic properties of the large-$N$ CFT. This new diagnostic for quantum chaos has important implications for the interior dynamics of evaporating black holes as it implies the radiated Hawking cloud is pseudorandom.

description: A Conservation agriculture (CA) is one of the most holistic sustainable agricultural practices yet. It reduces environmental degradation, and concurrently it could enhance farm profitability. A large proportion of the commercial grain producers in the Middle Swartland in the Western Cape Province of South Africa have adopted CA to varying degrees. Adoption of CA in South Africa, has taken place in the absence of any policy support framework directed to CA. The physical/biological benefits of CA are well known. The financial implications of the various systems within CA, at farm-level varies. Farm systems are complex, consisting of numerous interrelated components, and different farmers’ views, preferences and skill sets. A whole-farm budget model is developed within a systems approach to compare various farming systems designed within CA principles. Multidisciplinary group discussions are used to bridge the gap between disciplinary scientific knowledge. To serve as a basis for comparison, the whole-farm model was based on a typical farm within the Middle Swartland relative homogeneous farming area. The financial evaluation of the various farming systems showed that conventional agricultural practices of monoculture and deep tillage are financially unsustainable. The financial benefits of CA are directly related to improved soil health, lower weed and pest stress and improved yields. The CA farming systems were less susceptible to variations in external factors, highlighting the resilience of the system that incorporates crop rotation and no-till.

description: I ask the question why agriculture and agricultural literacy are not used more within the teaching of Food Studies curricula. In my project I articulate the concept of agriculture literacy and why it should be an important aspect of education in general, and food studies/home economics in particular. I then created a series of lesson plans to illustrate how food and agricultural topics can be systematically incorporated into current existing Food Studies curriculum with examples designed for Saskatchewan’s Practical and Applied Arts Food Studies 10/30 Curriculum.

description: Today, feeding cost is a significant issue for the economic viability of livestock operations, including beef production. The aim of this study was to determine, in comparison to the conventional feeding approach, the advantages and expected value of extending the grazing season in Atlantic beef production using stockpiled and baled forage. The research methodology is based on the partial budgeting approach. The study shows that extending the grazing season can reduce by 54% the total annual production cost for feed, yardage and straw bedding. Indeed, this innovative feeding approach can contribute to avoiding expenses of $7,331.92 per farm per year through eliminating and/or reducing overwintering costs for feed (16%), yardage (55%) and straw bedding (29%). A detailed analysis shows a saving of $0.92 of the overwintering production costs per cow/calf pair per day. Moreover, extending the grazing season does not seem to compromise animals’ performance. This practice could therefore be an alternative solution to enhance beef farm financial viability and can also contribute to the sustainable development of beef farms through other services provided such as recreation functions and environmental protection. These results reflect the necessity of supporting and promoting the adoption of extended grazing season practices in Atlantic beef production.

description: Production of high-energy gravitational objects is a common feature of gravitational theories. The primordial universe is a natural setting for the creation of black holes and other nonperturbative gravitational entities. Cosmic black holes can be used to probe physical properties of the very early universe which would usually require the knowledge of the theory of quantum gravity. They may be the only tool to explore thermalisation of the early universe. Whereas the creation of cosmic black holes was active in the past, it seems to be negligible at the present epoch.

description: Using a survey of New Zealand farmers, we explore the effect of drought intensity on future climate expectations and plans for land-use change, focusing on the window of experience farmers use in planning. Results suggest farmers reference the recent past rather than the historical record, indicating farmers routinely update environmental signals. Higher expectations of drought are also positively associated with land-conversion plans. Our findings suggest that while weather shocks may speed adaptation in expectation of climate change, the relatively short period of reference over which farmers compare drought may concurrently decelerate adaptation as drought becomes the “new normal”.
A Model for the Big Bounce

description: I motivate a proposal for modeling, at weak string coupling, the ``Big Bounce" transition from a growing-curvature phase to standard (FRW) cosmology in terms of a pressure-less dense gas of "string-holes" (SH), string states lying on the correspondence curve between strings and black holes. During this phase SH evolve in such a way that temperature and (string-frame) curvature remain $O(M_s)$ and (a cosmological version of) the holographic entropy bound remains saturated. This reasoning also appears to imply a new interpretation of the Hagedorn phase transition in string theory.

Spin Depolarization in Quantum Wires Polarized Spontaneously in a Zero Magnetic Field

description: The conditions for a spontaneous spin polarization in a quantum wire positioned in a zero magnetic field are analyzed under weak population of one-dimensional subbands that gives rise to the efficient quenching of the kinetic energy by the exchange energy of carriers. The critical linear concentration of carriers above which the quasi one-dimensional gas undergoes a complete spin depolarization is determined by the Hartree-Fock approximation. The dependence of the critical linear concentration on the concentration of carriers is defined to reveal the interplay of the spin depolarization with the evolution of the 0.7 (2e2/h) feature in the quantum conductance staircase from the e2/h to 3/2 (e2/h) values. This dependence is used to study the effect of the hole concentration on the 0.7 (2e2/h) feature in the quantum conductance staircase of the quantum wire prepared inside the p-type silicon quantum well using the split-gate technique. The 1D channel is demonstrated to be spin-polarized at the linear concentration of holes lower than the critical linear concentration, because the 0.7 (2e2/h) feature is close to the value of 0.5 (2e2/h) that indicates the spin degeneracy lifting for the first step of the quantum conductance staircase. The 0.7 (2e2/h) feature is found to take however its normal magnitude when the linear concentration of holes attains the critical value corresponding to the spin depolarization. The variations in the height of the 0.7 (2e2/h) feature observed in the hole quantum conductance staircase that is revealed by the p-type silicon quantum wire seem to be related to the evidences of the quantum conductance staircase obtained by varying the concentration of electrons in the 1D channel prepared inside the GaAs-AlGaAs heterojunction.

description: CeCoSi is an intermetallic antiferromagnet with a very unusual temperature-pressure phase diagram: at ambient pressure it orders below $T_{\mathrm{N}} = 8.8$ K, while application of hydrostatic pressure induces a new magnetically ordered phase with exceptionally high transition temperature of $\sim40$ K at 1.5 GPa. We studied the magnetic properties and the pressure-induced magnetic phase of CeCoSi by means of elastic and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and heat capacity measurements. At ambient pressure CeCoSi orders into a simple commensurate AFM structure with a reduced ordered moment of only $m_{\mathrm{Ce}} = 0.37(6)$ $μ_{\mathrm{B}}$. Specific heat and low-energy INS indicate a significant gap in the low-energy magnon excitation spectrum in the antiferromagnetic phase, with the CEF excitations located above 10 meV. Hydrostatic pressure gradually shifts the energy of the magnon band towards higher energies, and the temperature dependence of the magnons measured at 1.5 GPa is consistent with the phase diagram. Moreover, the CEF excitations are also drastically modified under pressure.

description: Two dimensional electron systems exhibiting the fractional quantum Hall effects are characterized by a quantized Hall conductance and a dissipationless bulk. The transport in these systems occurs only at the edges where gapless excitations are present. We present a {\it microscopic} calculation of the edge states in the fractional quantum Hall systems at various filling factors using the extended Hamiltonian theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect. We find that at $ν=1/3$ the quantum Hall edge undergoes a reconstruction as the background potential softens, whereas quantum Hall edges at higher filling factors, such as $ν=2/5, 3/7$, are robust against reconstruction. We present the results for the dependence of the edge states on various system parameters such as temperature, functional form and range of electron-electron interactions, and the confining potential. Our results have implications for the tunneling experiments into the edge of a fractional quantum Hall system.
