description: Real option theory has for some decades been used in forest economics to analyse decision problems which involve irreversible and stochastic decisions. One such decision is when to harvest a stand and with what species to regenerate. The latter decision can be postponed for some time, making a species change possible if favoured by the value development or if regeneration of the present species is unsuccessful. This problem is analysed here as extension of the traditional two-option problem, by involving several stochastic elements.

description: In this article, a hybrid heuristic algorithm based in Genetic Algorithm and Hooke and Jeeves in described for solving a complicated forest harvest decision problem, which involves optimization of thinning and final felling under price risk for a mixed species stand of spruce and pine. The strategy consists of two optimal stocking level functions and one reservation price function; in which, there are ten variables need to be optimized. The hybrid heuristic algorithm consists of two stages. At the first stage the Hooke and Jeeves is applied to find the optimal solutions using these initial solutions. As the benchmark, a pure Genetic Algorithm, Hook and Jeeves, and Powell search are also tested. Results show that the hybrid heuristic algorithm is the best one among all of the tested algorithm. Genetic Algorithm ranks second, Hooke and Jeeves the third and Powell search is the worst.

description: The surface magnetic canting (SMC) of a semi-infinite film with ferromagnetic exchange interaction and competing bulk and surface anisotropies is investigated via a nonlinear mapping formulation of mean-field theory previously developed by our group [L. Trallori et al., Int. J. Mod. Phys. B 10, 1935-1988 (1996)], and extended to the case where an external magnetic field is applied to the system. When the field H is parallel to the film plane, the condition for SMC is found to be the same as that recently reported by Popov and Pappas [Phys. Rev. B 64, 184401 (2001)]. The case of a field H applied perpendicularly to the film plane is also investigated. In both cases, the zero-temperature equilibrium configuration is easily determined by our theoretical approach.

description: We report on the realization of long-range Ising interactions in a cold gas of cesium atoms by Rydberg dressing. The interactions are enhanced by coupling to Rydberg states in the vicinity of a Förster resonance. We characterize the interactions by measuring the mean-field shift of the clock transition via Ramsey spectroscopy, observing one-axis twisting dynamics. We furthermore emulate a transverse-field Ising model by periodic application of a microwave field and detect dynamical signatures of the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition. Our results highlight the power of optical addressing for achieving local and dynamical control of interactions, enabling prospects ranging from investigating Floquet quantum criticality to producing tunable-range spin squeezing.

description: Phosphorus (P) is one of the largest nutrients limiting crop productivity. Meanwhile, P deficiency is a common phenomenon in agricultural soils around the world. Humic substances, as macromolecular polymer, accelerate and strengthen process which transforms P into bio-available forms via a range of chemical reactions and biological interactions. There is now an urgent need to comprehend the work carried out on the interaction among humic substances, soil and plant to better understand their role in the transformation and promotion of soil bioavailable P for plant growth. Herein, we discuss the factors and mechanisms of humic substances influencing P cycling in soil-plant systems, which focus on their contribution to soil P mobilization and plant P acquisition. This review covers how humic substances influence the mobilization and transformation of P in soils, including release of P from residues, and competitive adsorption of P and humic acid or fulvic acid to metallic minerals, as well as exchange with P adsorbed by humic substances. It then discusses a range of contributions to plant available P acquisition such as the release of organic acids from roots caused by humic substances, and promoting the solubilize and/or hydrolyze phosphate by plant and their associated microbes. Notably, we also discuss the challenges of artificial humic substances influencing P cycling in soil-plant systems, which may alleviate the global deficit of soil P resources. Overall, humic substances have become promising for sustainable agriculture over time and have great potential to meet specific soil-plant systems.

description: Direct neutron capture on 62Ni is calculated in the DWBA and the cross sections in the energy range relevant for s-process nucleosynthesis are given. It is confirmed that the thermal value of the capture cross section contains a subthreshold resonance contribution. Contrary to previous investigations it is found that the capture at higher energies is dominated by p-waves, thus leading to a considerably increased cross section at s-process energies and a modified energy dependence.

description: We study the effect of nonuniform transverse couplings on a quasi-one dimensional superconductor. We show that inhomogeneous couplings quite generally increase the superconducting (pairing) gap relative to the uniform system, but that beyond an ``optimal'' degree of inhomogeneity, they lead to a suppression of the tendency to phase coherence. The optimal conditions for superconductivity are derived. We also show that a {\it delocalized}, spin-gapped phase is stable against weak disorder in a four-leg-ladder with moderate repulsive interactions.

description: The Micro-X sounding rocket flew for the first time on July 22, 2018, becoming the first program to fly Transition-Edge Sensors and multiplexing SQUID readout electronics in space. While a rocket pointing failure led to no time on-target, the success of the flight systems was demonstrated. The successful flight operation of the instrument puts the program in a position to modify the payload for indirect galactic dark matter searches. The payload modifications are motivated by the science requirements of this observation. Micro-X can achieve world-leading sensitivity in the keV regime with a single flight. Dark matter sensitivity projections have been updated to include recent observations and the expected sensitivity of Micro-X to these observed fluxes. If a signal is seen (as seen in the X-ray satellites), Micro-X can differentiate an atomic line from a dark matter signature.

description: Economic optimization of silvicultural strategies is usually based maximization of (expected) present value, prices and costs being based on historical information. However, in some cases forest owners may have strong opinions regarding the character of future timber markets, conflicting with the use of historical price information. For example, a forest owner may expect wood quality to become much more important than it is today. Costs can often be observed to vary less than sales prices of timber and, therefore, if the focus is on the wood quality offered by various silvicultural alternatives and historical price information is considered invalid, it may be a reasonable alternative to compare strategies using estimates of production cost and product quality. In this paper such measures are used to identify the most robust and efficient silvicultural strategies, i.e. strategies forming a frontier where products of a given quality are produced at minimum costs and are thus most likely to prove profitable. However, while the method may lead to robust and quite efficient strategies it does not ensure welfare maximization.

description: Spine metastases affect more than 70% of terminal cancer patients that eventually suffer from severe pain and neurological symptoms. Nevertheless, in the overwhelming majority of the cases, a spinal metastasis represents just one location of a diffuse systemic disease. Therefore, the best practice for treatment of spinal metastases depends on many different aspects of an oncological disease, including the assessment of neurological status, pain, location, and dissemination of the disease as well as the ability to predict the risk of disease progression with neurological worsening, benefits and risks associated to treatment and, eventually, expected survival. To address this need for a framework and algorithm that takes all aspects of care into consideration, we reviewed available evidence on the multidisciplinary management of spinal metastases. According to the latest evidence, the use of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for spinal metastatic disease is rapidly increasing. Indeed, aggressive surgical resection may provide the best results in terms of local control, but carries a significant rate of post-surgical morbidity whose incidence and severity appears to be correlated to the extent of resection. The multidisciplinary management represents, according to current evidence, the best option for the treatment of spinal metastases. Noteworthy, according to the recent literature evidence, cases that once required radical surgical resection followed by low-dose conventional radiotherapy, can now be more effectively treated by minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) followed by spine SRS with decreased morbidity, improved local control, and more durable pain control. This combination allows also extending this standard of care to patients that would be too sick for an aggressive surgical treatment.

description: We consider some applications of the Renormalization Group flow equations obtained by resorting to a specific class of proper time regulators. Within this class a particular limit that corresponds to a sharpening of the effective width of the regulator is investigated and a procedure to analytically implement this limit on the flow equations is shown. We focus on the critical exponents determination for the O(N) symmetric scalar theory in three dimensions. The large N limit and some perturbative features in four dimensions are also analysed. In all problems examined the results are optimized when the mentioned limit of the proper time regulator is taken.

description: Sustainability has several definitions within natural resource economics. Sustainable states may be economically or biologically determined. Age and age classes add complexity to any definition of forest sustainability. Here we focus on selected metrics that might be used to define forest sustainability, convergence to sustainable state, and methods that allow convergence detection and classification of forest dynamics. In a deterministic world sustainable states of forests may be cyclic or fixed. If random perturbations are included, sustainability is associated with convergence of distribution parameters. Pattern recognition procedures are presented that detect whether a forest converges to a cyclic, a fixed or stationary state and whether convergence is fast, slow or cannot be observed within the time horizon considered.
Generalized Uncertainty Principle mimicking dynamical Dark Energy: matter perturbations and gravitational wave data analysis

description: The Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) stands out as a nearly ubiquitous feature in quantum gravity modeling, predicting the emergence of a minimum length at the Planck scale. Recently, it has been shown to modify the area-law scaling of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, giving rise to deformed Friedmann equations within Jacobson's approach. The ensuing model incorporates the GUP correction as a quintessence-like dark energy that supplements the cosmological constant, influencing the dynamics of the early Universe while aligning with the $Λ$CDM paradigm in the current epoch. In this extended scenario, we examine the growth of matter perturbations and structure formation employing the Top-Hat Spherical Collapse approach. Our analysis reveals that the profile of the density contrast is sensitive to the GUP parameter $β$, resulting in a slower gravitational evolution of primordial fluctuations in the matter density. We also discuss implications for the relic density of Primordial Gravitational Waves (PGWs), identifying the parameter space that enhances the PGW spectrum. Using the sensitivity of the next-generation GW observatories in the frequency range below $10^3\,\mathrm{Hz}$, we constrain $β\lesssim10^{39}$, which is more stringent than most other cosmological/astrophysical limits. This finding highlights the potential role of GWs in the pursuit of understanding quantum gravity phenomenology.

description: This article presents preliminary findings of a second enlarged exploratory study embedded in a comprehensive research project in the field of sociolinguistics. Our theoretical approach is based on the resilience concept which we adapted to the field of sociolinguistic. This approach allows us to explore at the same time the co-evolution and co-adaption of interlocutors and language especially by facing a crisis. This analysis shows that especially in Germany the ongoing refugee crisis exacerbates heavily political tensions. The increasing use of « Counter speech » in order to respond to « Hate speech » leads to an « evolutionary and adaptive spiral » in Germany, whereas in France the use of « Counter speech » and individual sanctions seems to be more effective in order to refute the disastrous force of « Hate speech ».

description: This article presents an exploratory study that aims to link social sciences, linguistics and sport. Based on he group-focus enmity concept which focuses on existing depreciations among individuals due to their alleged affiliation to a specific social group, we ask how theses alleged social groups treated like entities are concretely devaluated by using words, especially in highly competitive fields like sport. Even this innovative oncept is a fundamentally open concept into which further elements can be integrated, we focus on 5 key elements: racism and xenophobia (1), anti-semitism (2), homophobia (3), sexism (4) and anti-capitalism (5). Even this article can only provide preliminary results it confirms our assumptions that there is a changing hierarchy among these 5 key elements due to an ongoing change of social norms and a very high variation of words, which proves on the one hand an increasing awareness due to various campaigns but on the other and it remains persistent.

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

description: Three bosonic, spin-polarized atoms in a spherical oscillator potential constitutes the simplest nontrivial Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The present paper develops the tools needed to understand the nature of the complete J=0 energy spectrum for this prototype system, assuming a sum of two-body potentials. The resulting spectrum is calculated as a function of the two-body scattering length a_sc, which documents the evolution of certain many-body levels that evolve from BEC-type to molecular-type as the scattering length is decreased. Implications for the behavior of the condensate excited-state spectrum and for condensate formation and decay are elucidated. The energy levels evolve smoothly, even through the regime where the number of two-body bound states N_b increases by 1, and a_{sc} switches from -infinity to infinity. We point out the possibility of suppressing three-body recombination by tuning the two-body scattering length to values that are larger than the size of the condensate ground state. Comparisons with mean-field treatments are presented.

description: We analyse the correlated back and forth dynamics and dynamic heterogeneities, i.e. the presence of fast and slow ions, for a lithium metasilicate system via computer simulations. For this purpose we define, in analogy to previous work in the field of glass transition, appropriate three-time correlation functions. They contain information about the dynamics during two successive time intervals. First we apply them to simple model systems in order to clarify their information content. Afterwards we use this formalism to analyse the lithium trajectories. A strong back-dragging effect is observed, which also fulfills the time-temperature superposition principle. Furthermore, it turns out that the back-dragging effect is long-ranged and exceeds the nearest neighbor position. In contrast, the strength of the dynamic heterogeneities does not fulfill the time-temperature superposition principle. The lower the temperature, the stronger the mobility difference between fast and slow ions. The results are then compared with the simple model systems considered here as well as with some lattice models of ion dynamics.

description: The evidence of social and ecological responsibility has gained importance in the forest product industry. Sustainability Reporting could be seen an approach, which is able to capture effort and success of enterprises not only within financial dimension. New types of multidimensional reports have been developed in the last decade. However, little is known about reasons for the restrictive use of the new report types and it remains open if the new types are applicable in the forest products industries. Therefore, in order to gain deeper knowledge in this respect a survey was conducted involving 400 forest products enterprises located in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Special attention was given to attitudinal and behavioural questions. Furthermore, results were analyzed with a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) which helped to detect the key components that can explain the various level of satisfaction with reporting. As the results indicated, generally low satisfaction with the present reporting was concluded. Moreover, the BBN based sensitivity analysis provided evidence that (e.g.) a positive attitude towards new reporting standards and the publication of such new multidimensional reports increases the utility perceived significantly. On the other hand, strong negative influence was found for the publication of traditional report-types. Hence, BBN proved to be a feasible approach to explain the inner relationships and its explanatory power. General recommendations for the future reporting in the forest product sector can be deduced.

description: n the paper we provide an explanation of the persistence of the commodity titles in US farm bills that is grounded in core theories of the policy process from the political science literature. The political science literature explains policy continuity and policy change from a number of different perspectives and we use these to explain why the commodity titles of farm bills have persisted in the face of considerable opposition and how in response the Agriculture Committees have introduced incremental change to the content of farm bills to facilitate each bill’s passage. Unlike the standard approach of agricultural economists which focuses on the broader national economic efficiency impacts of farm programs, we concentrate on, narrower local political forces that affect individual Members of the Congress, and on the legislative process that created each farm bill.

description: Edge states protected by bulk topology of photonic crystals show robustness against short-range disorder, making robust information transfer possible. Here, topological photonic crystals under long-range deformations are investigated. Vertices of each regular hexagon in a honeycomb crystalline structure are shifted randomly to establish a deformed system. By increasing the degree of random deformations, a transition from an ordered system to an amorphous system are investigated, where the close of topological bandgap is clearly shown. We further present comprehensive investigations into excitation methods of the proposed deformed system. Due to the lack of strict periodicity, excitation of topological edge modes becomes difficult. Chiral and linearly polarized sources as two different methods are investigated respectively. It is found that chiral sources are sensitive and rely on the ordered lattice. Even a weak long-range deformation can bring fluctuations to transmission. We further designed and fabricated metal-dielectric-metal sandwich-like samples working in the microwave band. Using linearly polarized source, we detected the existence of topological transport in the deformed system. This work investigates excitation and robustness of bulk topology against long-range deformations and may open the way for exploiting topological properties of materials with a deformed lattice.

description: This paper examines attributes that influence the price on hunting leases in Denmark. Landowners have the right to hunt on their land and the possibility to lease out this hunting right. The lease of hunting rights contributes to the landowners’ income and in order to optimize total income it is essential to understand hunters’ preferences for leasing an area for hunting. The analysis utilizes detailed information obtained from 751 hunting contract leaseholders. The hedonic pricing method was used to find significant determinants that influence the market value of a hunting lease. Among other things we find positive influence from the bag rate of deer on the lease price, it is however relatively small. Furthermore, leasing out to consortiums rather than individuals seems to push the price upwards. Not surprisingly we find a significant reduction on the hunting price when the lease is between relatives.

description: Household access to food over time in Tanzania is measured by comparing the cost of representative food baskets to household income. Consumption patterns, estimated using household data from the 2010/11 National Panel Survey conducted by Tanzania’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), show considerable diversity across the country. Maize (corn) dominates the diets in the surplus-maize-producing regions. Households in the maize-deficit regions in the north favor other sources of starch such as cassava and banana. The food baskets include 15 food groups that make up approximately 67 to 88 percent of average calorie intake. From 2008/09 to 2010/11, food basket costs rose rapidly in nominal terms but were stable in real terms. Combining food basket cost data and income data suggests that households in the bottom two income quintiles have significant difficulties with access to food.

description: In this letter we show that in the extra dimension model, contrary to the widely accepted conception, the simply truncated $ϕ^4$ and non-Abelian SU(N) Kaluza-Klein theories are not renormalizable, i.e. the tree level relations of the effective theories can not sustain the quantum corrections. The breaking down of the tree level relations of the effective theories can be traced back to several factors: the breaking of the higher dimension Lorentz symmetry and higher dimension gauge symmetry, interactions assumed in the underlying Lagrangians, and the dimension reduction and rescaling procedure.

description: The large sky localization regions offered by the gravitational-wave interferometers require efficient follow-up of the many counterpart candidates identified by the wide field-of-view telescopes. Given the restricted telescope time, the creation of prioritized lists of the many identified candidates becomes mandatory. Towards this end, we use \text{\astrorapid}, a multi-band photometric lightcurve classifier, to differentiate between kilonovae, supernovae, and other possible transients. We demonstrate our method on the photometric observations of real events. In addtion, the classification performance is tested on simulated lightcurves, both ideally and realistically sampled. We show that after only a few days of observations of an astronomical object, it is possible to rule out candidates as supernovae and other known transients.
Simple strong glass forming models: mean-field solution with activation

description: We introduce simple models, inspired by previous models for froths and covalent glasses, with trivial equilibrium properties but dynamical behaviour characteristic of strong glass forming systems. These models are also a generalization of backgammon or urn models to a non--constant number of particles, where entropic barriers are replaced by energy barriers, allowing for the existence of activated processes. We formulate a mean--field version of the models, which keeps most of the features of the finite dimensional ones, and solve analytically the out--of--equilibrium dynamics in the low temperature regime where activation plays an essential role.

description: As required by Art. 29 of the Grant Agreement, each beneficiary must – as soon as possible – disseminate its results by disclosing them to the public by appropriate means (other than those resulting from protecting or exploiting the results), including in scientific publications (in any medium). As part of this obligation, within the SmartCulTour-project, multiple deliverables have been foreseen across work packages, to focus on an open access publication strategy. This deliverable provides metadata and abstracts of the publications residing under Work Package 4: “Assessing the impacts of cultural tourism”. Deliverable 4.3 aimed to provide “A minimum of 3 academic papers on sustainable cultural tourism, resilience, and the TALC model” and therefore focuses on sustainable cultural tourism indicators, the link between cultural tourism development, sustainability and resilience, and the integration of cultural tourism, sustainability/resilience, and the tourism area life cycle. The full papers are available in open access and can be found by following the DOI links provided. The deliverable is a living document that, after initial submission, can be updated in case of additional scientific publications within the scope of Work Package 4.
Strassen Multisystolic Array Hardware Architectures

description: While Strassen's matrix multiplication algorithm reduces the complexity of naive matrix multiplication, general-purpose hardware is not suitable for achieving the algorithm's promised theoretical speedups. This leaves the question of if it could be better exploited in custom hardware architectures designed specifically for executing the algorithm. However, there is limited prior work on this and it is not immediately clear how to derive such architectures or if they can ultimately lead to real improvements. We bridge this gap, presenting and evaluating new systolic array architectures that efficiently translate the theoretical complexity reductions of Strassen's algorithm directly into hardware resource savings. Furthermore, the architectures are multisystolic array designs that can multiply smaller matrices with higher utilization than single-systolic array designs. The proposed designs implemented on FPGA reduce DSP requirements by a factor of $1.14^r$ for $r$ implemented Strassen recursion levels, and otherwise require overall similar soft logic resources when instantiated to support matrix sizes down to 32x32 and 24x24 at 1-2 levels of Strassen recursion, respectively. We evaluate the proposed designs both in isolation and in an end-to-end machine learning accelerator compared to baseline designs and prior works, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

description: The purpose of this study was to develop models for estimating yields of lumber grades and by-products of individual Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stems using stem and crown dimensions as explanatory variables. The next stage will be combining models to simulation-optimization framework to optimize forest management at the stand level using climate change mitigation effect as an objective function when also material and energy substitution benefits of wood products are taken into account. Two separate data sets were used as a material for analysis: 1) Simulated data set generated by the process-based growth model, PipeQual, which provides information about stem form and branch properties. The model was used to predict the 3D structure of Scots pine stems in thinning regimes of varying intensity and rotation periods and 2) detailed measured empirical data set. The stems were sawn using the WoodCim sawing simulator and the yields and grades of the individual sawn pieces, as well as by-products, were recorded. The sawn timber pieces were classified on A, B, C and Dgrades for side and center boards separately (Finnish export rules). Byproducts were pulpwood, sawmill chips, sawdust and bark. The response variables were formulated as proportions of the total volume of each stem. Multinomial logistic regression models were fitted to the both data sets. Models fitted to the real stems data set was found more accurate and the dead branch height, diameter at the breast height and the natural logarithm of the diameter at breast height was found the best combination of the explanatory variables. The models were tested in the generated data set and found to overestimate the quality in medium fertile stands. The developed approach integrates forest management, its implications to the quality of raw wood and sawn wood conversion chain. The models can be used in stand management optimization for comparing different management options e.g. on the value-added basis from the sawmill’s point of view or climatic benefits of wood products.
