description: Context. Recent observations of decayless transverse oscillations have shown two branches in the relationship between periods and loop lengths. One is a linear relationship, interpreted as a standing mode. The other shows almost no correlation and has not yet been interpreted conclusively. Aims. We investigated the undersampling effect on observed periods of decayless oscillations. Methods. We considered oscillating coronal loops that closely follow the observed loop length distribution. Assuming that all oscillations are standing waves, we modeled a signal that represents decayless oscillations where the period is proportional to the loop length and the amplitude and phase are randomly drawn. A downsampled signal was generated from the original signal by considering different sample rates that mimic temporal cadences of telescopes, and periods for sampled signals were analysed using the fast Fourier transform. Results. When the sampling cadence is getting closer to the actual oscillation period, a tendency for overestimating periods in short loops is enhanced. The relationship between loop lengths and periods of the sampled signals shows the two branches as in the observation. Conclusions. We find that long periods of decayless oscillations occurring in short loops could be the result of undersampling.

description: Video-driven 3D facial animation transfer aims to drive avatars to reproduce the expressions of actors. Existing methods have achieved remarkable results by constraining both geometric and perceptual consistency. However, geometric constraints (like those designed on facial landmarks) are insufficient to capture subtle emotions, while expression features trained on classification tasks lack fine granularity for complex emotions. To address this, we propose \textbf{FreeAvatar}, a robust facial animation transfer method that relies solely on our learned expression representation. Specifically, FreeAvatar consists of two main components: the expression foundation model and the facial animation transfer model. In the first component, we initially construct a facial feature space through a face reconstruction task and then optimize the expression feature space by exploring the similarities among different expressions. Benefiting from training on the amounts of unlabeled facial images and re-collected expression comparison dataset, our model adapts freely and effectively to any in-the-wild input facial images. In the facial animation transfer component, we propose a novel Expression-driven Multi-avatar Animator, which first maps expressive semantics to the facial control parameters of 3D avatars and then imposes perceptual constraints between the input and output images to maintain expression consistency. To make the entire process differentiable, we employ a trained neural renderer to translate rig parameters into corresponding images. Furthermore, unlike previous methods that require separate decoders for each avatar, we propose a dynamic identity injection module that allows for the joint training of multiple avatars within a single network.

description: This publication presents the results of the latest (2002) inventory of U.S. major land uses, drawing on data from the Census, public land management and conservation agencies, and other sources. The data are synthesized by State to calculate the use of several broad classes and subclasses of agricultural and nonagricultural land over time. The United States has a total land area of nearly 2.3 billion acres. Major uses in 2002 were forest-use land, 651 million acres (28.8 percent); grassland pasture and range land, 587 million acres (25.9 percent); cropland, 442 million acres (19.5 percent); special uses (primarily parks and wildlife areas), 297 million acres (13.1 percent); miscellaneous other uses, 228 million acres (10.1 percent); and urban land, 60 million acres (2.6 percent). National and regional trends in land use are discussed in comparison with earlier major land-use estimates.
Neurochemical correlates of cross-sensitization between repeated d=amphetamine administration and male rat sexual behavior
Creators: name: Fiorino, Dennis Frank
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Behavioral sensitization due to repeated and intermittent administration of psychostimulants, such as cocaine and d-amphetamine, is accompanied by enhanced function in limbic-motor circuitry that is involved in the generation of motivated behavior. The present experiments investigated the effect of sensitization, induced by repeated injections of d-amphetamine, on sexual behavior in the naive male rat tested in a drug-free state. It was hypothesized that prior d-amphetamine treatment would facilitate male rat sexual behavior. Injections of either d-amphetamine (1.5 mg/kg, IP) or saline were given every other day for a total of 10 injections, and this regimen induced behavioral sensitization of locomotor activity in drug-treated male rats. After a three-week post-drug period, d-amphetamine-treated rats exhibited facilitated sexual behavior as indicated by shorter latencies to mount and intromit, as well as a general increase in the amount of copulation. Furthermore, sensitized rats displayed a facilitated acquisition of sexual behavior (i.e., mount and intromission latency < 300s for three consecutive days). After repeated sexual experience, rats pre-treated with d-amphetamine also showed an augmented increase in appetitive locomotor activity (i.e., level changes) made in anticipation of the presentation of a receptive female. In a separate experiment, enhanced sexual behavior was observed to be independent of the environment in which repeated administration of d-amphetamine occurred, indicating that facilitation was not a consequence of conditioned associations between drug and test environment. In a final microdialysis experiment, there was an augmented efflux of dopamine (DA) in the nucleus accumbens (NAC) of d-amphetamine-sensitized rats compared to non-sensitized control rats when a receptive female was present behind a screen (35% vs 17%)). Although there was a significant increase in N A C DA concentrations from baseline in both sensitized and non-sensitized rats during copulation, there was a greater increase in DA efflux in the NAC of sensitized rats during the first 10-min copulatory sample (60% vs 37%). These results demonstrate that behavioral sensitization due to repeated psychostimulant administration can "cross-sensitize" to a natural behavior, such as sex, and that increased N A C DA release may contribute to the facilitation of appetitive and consummatory aspects of this behavior. Furthermore, the subsequent facilitation of anticipatory sexual behavior (i.e., level changes) after repeated experience in rats previously treated with rf-amphetamine, suggests that behavioral sensitization can influence incentive learning.

description: Federal expenditures for USDA’s food assistance programs totaled almost $53 billion in fiscal 2006, a 4-percent increase over the previous fiscal year. This was the sixth consecutive year in which food assistance expenditures increased and the fourth consecutive year in which they exceeded the previous historical record. The five largest food assistance programs—the Food Stamp Program, the National School Lunch Program, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the Child and Adult Care Food Program, and the School Breakfast Program—accounted for 95 percent of USDA's total expenditures for food assistance. This report uses preliminary data from the Food and Nutrition Service to examine trends in the programs at the through fiscal 2006. It also discusses a recent ERS study that examined income volatility among households with children and the implications of volatility for eligibility in the National School Lunch Program.

description: Corn production costs per bushel vary considerably among U.S. producers, depending on yields, farm location, tillage practices, irrigation, previous field usage, enterprise size, and weather. In 2001, the operating and ownership costs per bushel for corn ranged from an average of $1.08 for the 25 percent of U.S. producers with the lowest costs to an average of $2.98 for the 25 percent with the highest costs. Heartland corn producers had the lowest costs per bushel on average. Corn producers with small corn enterprises had the highest costs due to their lower-than-average corn yields. Operators of part-time and low-sales corn farms have higher production costs per bushel than operators of farms with higher sales. In 2001, 59 percent of corn producers earned a positive net return per bushel after covering their operating and ownership costs from the market value of corn. When loan deficiency payments (LDPs) on corn were added to the value of corn production, 64 percent of producers covered their corn operating and ownership costs. When income consists of the value of production, LDPs, production flexibility contract, market loss, and disaster assistance payments, 73 percent of producers earned a positive return per bushel after accounting for their operating and ownership costs.

description: Axion-like particles (ALPs) can provide a portal to new states of a dark sector. We study the phenomenology of this portal when the ALP mainly decays invisibly, while its interaction with the standard model sector proceeds essentially via its coupling to electrons and/or photons. We re-analyse existing limits from various collider and beam dump experiments, including in particular ALP production via electron/positron interactions, in addition to the usual production through ALP-photon coupling. We further discuss the interplay between these limits and the intriguing possibility of explaining simultaneously the muon and electron magnetic moment anomalies. Finally, we illustrate the prospects of ALP searches at the LNF positron fixed-target experiment PADME, and the future reach of an upgraded experimental setup.

description: An implanted device for brain-responsive neurostimulation (RNS System) is approved as an effective treatment to reduce seizures in adults with medically-refractory focal epilepsy. Clinical trials of the RNS System demonstrate population-level reduction in average seizure frequency, but therapeutic response is highly variable. Recent evidence links seizures to cyclical fluctuations in underlying risk. We tested the hypothesis that effectiveness of responsive neurostimulation varies based on current state within cyclical risk fluctuations. We analyzed retrospective data from 25 adults with medically-refractory focal epilepsy implanted with the RNS System. Chronic electrocorticography was used to record electrographic seizures, and hidden Markov models decoded seizures into fluctuations in underlying risk. State-dependent associations of RNS System stimulation parameters with changes in risk were estimated. Higher charge density was associated with improved outcomes, both for remaining in a low seizure risk state and for transitioning from a high to a low seizure risk state. The effect of stimulation frequency depended on initial seizure risk state: when starting in a low risk state, higher stimulation frequencies were associated with remaining in a low risk state, but when starting in a high risk state, lower stimulation frequencies were associated with transition to a low risk state. Findings were consistent across bipolar and monopolar stimulation configurations. The impact of RNS on seizure frequency exhibits state-dependence, such that stimulation parameters which are effective in one seizure risk state may not be effective in another. These findings represent conceptual advances in understanding the therapeutic mechanism of RNS, and directly inform current practices of RNS tuning and the development of next-generation neurostimulation systems.

description: Since the Uruguay Round Agricultural Agreement (URAA) entered into force in 1994, tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) have become the most widely used trade policy instrument to improve agricultural market access while at the same time controlling import volumes. Until now, the MIRAGE CGE model only takes into account the exogenous quota rents (MAcMap-HS6 database) allocated entirely to exporters. Unfortunately, this methodology does not authorise any regime when trade policy changes (e.g. a quota-volume increase for very sensitive agricultural products or a tariff reduction). In order to improve the treatment of TRQs in MIRAGE we model them as bilateral TRQs at the HS6 level using MAcMapHS6-v2 database. Assuming a simple scenario of bilateral trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosur, we test the previous TRQ modeling and we compare its results to the present version of MIRAGE (aggregation biases and TRQ modeling). The macroeconomic and trade results give us an idea of the biases introduced by the negligence of TRQ modeling.

description: The arrival of Metropolitan Panteleimon of Samos and Ikaria in Thessaloniki at 1974 as Metropolitan of Thessaloniki Panteleimon II marked a new beginning for the life, history and presence of the Holy Church of Agios Dimitrios in Thessaloniki. The Temple once again became a center and focal point of worship, a reference point for the city of Thessaloniki, a cultural center of Macedonia, but also of the Balkans as well as an architectural monument where visitors come to visit, as well as specialists to study the monument. The consecration of the Metropolis of Thessaloniki by the blessed Metropolitan Panteleimon II had the effect of reviving in the Church of Agios Dimitrios ceremonies and services that were held before the Fall of Thessaloniki (1430) and had been lost during the many years of Ottoman slavery. More generally, the late Metropolitan of Thessaloniki Panteleimon II was a personality who stamped with his presence the city and the Metropolis of Thessaloniki and in particular the Holy Church of Agios Dimitrios Patron of Thessaloniki (poliouchos).

description: We present a detailed analysis of our recent observation of synchronous Rabi oscillations between the electronic ground state and Rydberg states in a mesoscopic ensemble containing roughly 100 ultracold atoms [M. Reetz-Lamour \textit{et al.}, submitted, arXiv:0711.4321]. The mesoscopic cloud is selected out of a sample of laser-cooled Rb atoms by optical pumping. The atoms are coupled to a Rydberg state with principal quantum number around 30 by a two-photon scheme employing flat-top laser beams. The influence of residual spatial intensity fluctuations as well as sources of decoherence such as redistribution to other states, radiative lifetime, and laser bandwidth are analysed. The results open up new possibilities for the investigation of coherent many-body phenomena in dipolar Rydberg gases. As an example we demonstrate the van der Waals blockade, a variant of the dipole blockade, for a mesoscopic atom sample.

description: Deploying deep neural networks (DNNs) on those resource-constrained edge platforms is hindered by their substantial computation and storage demands. Quantized multi-precision DNNs, denoted as MP-DNNs, offer a promising solution for these limitations but pose challenges for existing RISC-V processors due to complex instructions, suboptimal parallel processing, and inefficient dataflow mapping. To tackle the challenges mentioned above, SPEED, a scalable RISC-V vector (RVV) processor, is proposed to enable efficient MP-DNN inference, incorporating innovations in customized instructions, hardware architecture, and dataflow mapping. Firstly, some dedicated customized RISC-V instructions are introduced based on RVV extensions to reduce the instruction complexity, allowing SPEED to support processing precision ranging from 4-bit to 16-bit with minimized hardware overhead. Secondly, a parameterized multi-precision tensor unit is developed and integrated within the scalable module to enhance parallel processing capability by providing reconfigurable parallelism that matches the computation patterns of diverse MP-DNNs. Finally, a flexible mixed dataflow method is adopted to improve computational and energy efficiency according to the computing patterns of different DNN operators. The synthesis of SPEED is conducted on TSMC 28nm technology. Experimental results show that SPEED achieves a peak throughput of 737.9 GOPS and an energy efficiency of 1383.4 GOPS/W for 4-bit operators. Furthermore, SPEED exhibits superior area efficiency compared to prior RVV processors, with enhancements of 5.9$\sim$26.9$\times$ and 8.2$\sim$18.5$\times$ for 8-bit operator and best integer performance, respectively, which highlights SPEED's significant potential for efficient MP-DNN inference.

description: This paper investigates the problem of adaptive detection of distributed targets in power heterogeneous clutter. In the considered scenario, all the data share the identical structure of clutter covariance matrix, but with varying and unknown power mismatches. To address this problem, we iteratively estimate all the unknowns, including the coordinate matrix of the target, the clutter covariance matrix, and the corresponding power mismatches, and propose three detectors based on the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), Rao and the Wald tests. The results from simulated and real data both illustrate that the detectors based on GLRT and Rao test have higher probabilities of detection (PDs) than the existing competitors. Among them, the Rao test-based detector exhibits the best overall detection performance. We also analyze the impact of the target extended dimensions, the signal subspace dimensions, and the number of training samples on the detection performance. Furthermore, simulation experiments also demonstrate that the proposed detectors have a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) property for the structure of clutter covariance matrix.

Reinventing spacetime on a dynamical hypersurface

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In braneworld models, Space-Time-Matter and other Kaluza-Klein theories, our spacetime is devised as a four-dimensional hypersurface {\it orthogonal} to the extra dimension in a five-dimensional bulk. We show that the FRW line element can be "reinvented" on a dynamical four-dimensional hypersurface, which is {\it not} orthogonal to the extra dimension, without any internal contradiction. This hypersurface is selected by the requirement of continuity of the metric and depends explicitly on the evolution of the extra dimension. The main difference between the "conventional" FRW, on an orthogonal hypersurface, and the new one is that the later contains higher-dimensional modifications to the regular matter density and pressure in 4D. We compare the evolution of the spacetime in these two interpretations. We find that a wealth of "new" physics can be derived from a five-dimensional metric if it is interpreted on a dynamical (non-orthogonal) 4D hypersurface. In particular, in the context of a well-known cosmological metric in $5D$, we construct a FRW model which is consistent with the late accelerated expansion of the universe, while fitting simultaneously the observational data for the deceleration parameter. The model predicts an effective equation of state for the universe, which is consistent with observations.

description: In these two related parts we present a set of methods, analytical and numerical, which can illuminate the behaviour of quantum system, especially in the complex systems. The key points demonstrating advantages of this approach are: (i) effects of localization of possible quantum states, more proper than "gaussian-like states"; (ii) effects of non-perturbative multiscales which cannot be calculated by means of perturbation approaches; (iii) effects of formation of complex quantum patterns from localized modes or classification and possible control of the full zoo of quantum states, including (meta) stable localized patterns (waveletons). We'll consider calculations of Wigner functions as the solution of Wigner-Moyal-von Neumann equation(s) corresponding to polynomial Hamiltonians. Modeling demonstrates the appearance of (meta) stable patterns generated by high-localized (coherent) structures or entangled/chaotic behaviour. We can control the type of behaviour on the level of reduced algebraical variational system. At the end we presented the qualitative definition of the Quantum Objects in comparison with their Classical Counterparts, which natural domain of definition is the category of multiscale/multiresolution decompositions according to the action of internal/hidden symmetry of the proper realization of scales of functional spaces. It gives rational natural explanation of such pure quantum effects as ``self-interaction''(self-interference) and instantaneous quantum interaction.

Molecular Analysis of Non-structural Protein 1 (NSP1) in Children Infectedwith Rotavirus in Babylon Province, Iraq: A Cross-Sectional Study

Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2024

subject: Infectious diseases

description: Globally, a considerable number of infants and children younger than five are falling victim to
diarrheal diseases predominantly caused by rotaviruses, which are non-enveloped, double-stranded
RNA (dsRNA) viruses able to cause acute gastroeteritis and extragastrointestinal complications.
Annually, human rotaviruses cause two million hospitalizations and over 500,000 deaths worldwide.
Rotaviral replication, pathogenesis, and immune evasion are propagated by non-structural protein 1
(NSP1), encoded by segment five of their dsRNA genome. We examined 60 urine and stool samples
from children aged 2-60 months admitted to an Obstetric and Children Hospital in Babylon over a
60-day time period with the diagnosis of acute group A rotavirus gastroenteritis. This study aimed to
check the presence of NSP1 by immunochromatography assay and RT-qPCR.
Immunochromatography assay detected NSP1 in 100% of urine and stool samples; however, RTqPCR only detected it in 66.7% of urine and 50% of stool samples. RT-qPCR found 12 out of 30 urine
and stool samples positive, accounting for 40% of participants. No significant correlations between
RT-qPCR results and sociodemographic factors were found. Results found 73.3% of acute

description: We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the partial transposition of bipartite harmonic quantum states to be nonnegative. The conditions are formulated as an infinite series of inequalities for the moments of the state under study. The violation of any inequality of this series is a sufficient condition for entanglement. Previously known entanglement conditions are shown to be special cases of our approach.

description: The processes which regulate the star-formation within molecular clouds are still not well understood. Various star-formation scaling relations have been proposed to explain this issue by formulating a relation between star-formation rate surface density ($\rm Σ_{SFR}$) and the underlying gas surface density ($\rm Σ_{gas}$). In this work, we test various star formation scaling relations, such as Kennicutt-Schmidt relation, volumetric star-formation relation, orbital time model, crossing time model, and multi free-fall time scale model towards the North American and Pelican Nebulae complexes and in cold clumps associated with them. Measuring stellar-mass from young stellar objects and gaseous mass from CO measurements, we estimated mean $\rm Σ_{SFR}$, star formation rate per free-fall time, and star formation efficiency (SFE) for clumps to be 1.5 $\rm M{_\odot}~yr^{-1}~kpc^{-2}$, 0.009, 2.0$\%$, respectively, while for the entire NAN complex the values are 0.6 $\rm M{_\odot}~yr^{-1}~kpc^{-2}$, 0.0003, and 1.6$\%$, respectively. For clumps, we notice that the observed properties are in line with the correlation obtained between $\rm Σ_{SFR}$ and $\rm Σ_{gas}$, and between $\rm Σ_{SFR}$ and $\rm Σ_{gas}$ per free-fall time and orbital time for Galactic clouds. At the same time, we do not observe any correlation with $\rm Σ_{gas}$ per crossing time and multi free-fall time. Even though we see correlations in former cases, however, all models agree with each other within a factor of 0.5 dex, and discriminating between these models is not possible due to the current uncertainties in the input observables. We also test the variation of $\rm Σ_{SFR}$ versus the dense gas, but due to low statistics, a weak correlation is seen in our analysis.

Molecular Analysis of Non-structural Protein 1 (NSP1) in Children Infected with Rotavirus in Babylon Province, Iraq: A Cross-Sectional Study
Creators: name: Yakhchalian, Nima

Subjects: classificationCode: 320211
subject: Infectious diseases

description: Globally, a considerable number of infants and children younger than five are falling victim to
diarrheal diseases predominantly caused by rotaviruses, which are non-enveloped, double-stranded
RNA (dsRNA) viruses able to cause acute gastroeteritis and extragastrointestinal complications.
Annually, human rotaviruses cause two million hospitalizations and over 500,000 deaths worldwide.
Rotaviral replication, pathogenesis, and immune evasion are propagated by non-structural protein 1
(NSP1), encoded by segment five of their dsRNA genome. We examined 60 urine and stool samples
from children aged 2-60 months admitted to an Obstetric and Children Hospital in Babylon over a
60-day time period with the diagnosis of acute group A rotavirus gastroenteritis. This study aimed to
check the presence of NSP1 by immunochromatography assay and RT-qPCR.
Immunochromatography assay detected NSP1 in 100% of urine and stool samples; however, RTqPCR only detected it in 66.7% of urine and 50% of stool samples. RT-qPCR found 12 out of 30 urine
and stool samples positive, accounting for 40% of participants. No significant correlations between
RT-qPCR results and sociodemographic factors were found. Results found 73.3% of acute
gastroenteritis cases were in children under two. Additionally, the urinary detection of NSP1 suggests
that rotaviruses may cause extra-gastrointestinal infections, e.g., systemic infection or viremia.

description: We present kinematically forbidden dark matter annihilations into Standard Model leptons. This mechanism precisely selects the dark matter mass that gives the observed relic abundance. This is qualitatively different from existing models of thermal dark matter, where fixing the relic density typically leaves open orders of magnitude of viable dark matter masses. Forbidden annihilations require the dark matter to be close in mass to the particles that dominate its annihilation rate. We show examples where the dark matter mass is close to the muon mass, the tau mass, or the average of the tau and muon masses. We find that most of the relevant parameter space can be covered by the next generation of proposed beam-dump experiments and future high-luminosity electron positron colliders. Forbidden dark matter predicts large couplings to the Standard Model that can explain the observed value of $(g-2)_μ$.

description: Early-warning systems for plant diseases are valuable when the systems provide timely forecasts that farmers can use to inform their pest management decisions. To evaluate the value of the systems, this study examines, as a case study, USDA’s coordinated framework for soybean rust surveillance, reporting, prediction, and management, which was developed before the 2005 growing season. The framework’s linchpin is a website that provides real-time, county-level information on the spread of the disease. The study assesses the value of the information tool to farmers and factors that influence that value. The information’s value depends most heavily on farmers’ perceptions of the forecast’s accuracy. The study finds that the framework’s information is valuable to farmers even in a year with a low rust infection like that of 2005. We estimate that the information provided by the framework increased U.S. soybean producers’ profits by a total of $11-$299 million in 2005, or between 16 cents and $4.12 per acre, depending on the quality of information and other factors. The reported cost of the framework was between $2.6 million and almost $5 million in 2005.

The Piecewise Moments Method: A Generalized Lanczos Technique for Nuclear Response Surfaces

description: For some years Lanczos moments methods have been combined with large-scale shell-model calculations in evaluations of the spectral distributions of certain operators. This technique is of great value because the alternative, a state-by-state summation over final states, is generally not feasible. The most celebrated application is to the Gamow-Teller operator, which governs beta decay and neutrino reactions in the allowed limit. The Lanczos procedure determines the nuclear response along a line q=0 in the (omega,q) plane, where omega and q are the energy and three-momentum transfered to the nucleus. However, generalizing such treatments from the allowed limit to general electroweak response functions at arbitrary momentum transfers seems considerably more difficult: the response function must be determined over the entire (omega,q) plane for an operator O(q) that is not fixed, but depends explicitly on q. Such operators arise in any semileptonic process where the momentum transfer is comparable to (or larger than) the inverse nuclear size. Here we show, for Slater determinants built on harmonic oscillator basis functions, that the nuclear response for any multipole operator O(q) can be determined efficiently over the full response plane by a generalization of the standard Lanczos moments method. We describe the Piecewise Moments Method and thoroughly explore its convergence properties for the test case of electromagnetic responses in a full sd-shell calculation of 28Si. We discuss possible extensions to a variety of electroweak processes, including charged- and neutral-current neutrino scattering.

Feynman-path type simulation using stabilizer projector decomposition of unitaries

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a classical simulation method for quantum circuits based on decomposing unitary gates into a sum of stabilizer projectors. By only decomposing the non-Clifford gates, we take advantage of the Gottesman-Knill theorem and build a bridge between stabilizer-based simulation and Feynman-path-type simulation. We give two variants of this method: stabilizer-based path-integral recursion (SPIR) and stabilizer projector contraction (SPC). We also analyze further advantages and disadvantages of our method compared to the Bravyi-Gosset algorithm and recursive Feynman path-integral algorithms. We construct a parametrized circuit ensemble and identify the parameter regime in this ensemble where our method offers superior performance. We also estimate the time cost for simulating quantum supremacy experiments with our method and motivate potential improvements of the method.

description: Current dynamics in world dairy markets and the potential for global and domestic trade policy reform are bringing the U.S. dairy sector to a new crossroads as it faces competitive forces from outside its borders. Those forces—demand for new products by consumers in industrialized countries, changes in technology, rapid economic growth in emerging developing countries, particularly in Asia, and the increasing role of multinational firms in domestic and global dairy markets—are leading to increased dairy consumption, more opportunities for dairy product trade, and foreign direct investment benefiting both U.S. consumers and producers. As global demand for milk and new dairy products expands, the roles of policies that support prices are diminishing, while the roles of flexibility and innovation aimed at improving competitiveness are growing.
