description: This paper investigates the trade-off between equity and conservation outcomes of two alternative Payment for Environmental Services (PES) schemes, using the results of a framed field experiment (public good game). Particularly, we investigate two alternative PES schemes under endowment heterogeneity and heterogeneity in the opportunity costs of conservation. We test an equal PES scheme, where a fixed flat rate per conserved hectare is paid and an unequal PES scheme, which compensates according to the opportunity costs of conservation. Main findings indicate that the introduction of an unequal PES scheme does not necessarily come at the cost of conservation. Furthermore, the results show that an unequal PES may function as a redistribution instrument by realigning earnings towards the low-endowed subjects.

An index formula on manifolds with fibered cusp ends

description: We consider a compact manifold whose boundary is a locally trivial fiber bundle and an associated pseudodifferential algebra that models fibered cusps at infinity. Using trace-like functionals that generate the 0-dimensional Hochschild cohomology groups, we express the index of a fully elliptic fibered cusp operator as the sum of a local contribution from the interior and a term that comes from the boundary. This answers the index problem formulated by Mazzeo and Melrose. We give a more precise answer in the case where the base of the boundary fiber bundle is the circle. In particular, for Dirac operators associated to a "product fibered cusp metric", the index is given by the integral of the Atiyah-Singer form in the interior minus the adiabatic limit of the eta invariant of the restriction of the operator to the boundary.

Exact chiral spin liquid state in a Kitaev type spin model
Creators: name: Fu, Jianlong
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study a frustrated two-dimensional lattice spin model with Kitaev type interaction. The lattice is obtained from the honeycomb lattice by replacing half of its sites with triangles. Using the SO(3) Majorana representation of spin, the model is exactly mapped into a $Z_{2}$ lattice gauge theory of complex fermions with standard Gauss law constraint. We show that the ground state of the model is a chiral spin liquid, and it has gapless excitations. The Chern number of the ground state is $\pm 1$, implying the existence of chiral edge mode. The vortex excitation of the model is bound with a Majorana zero mode, such mode behaves as non-Abelian anyons.

description: The paper illustrates synergies between the socio-economic and emergy evaluation of agricultural activity by studying the dairy sector in Slovenia. Evaluation was performed on nine farm types, representing the diversity of the country's dairy sector. Results indicate that socio-economic evaluation favours larger conventional systems. Emergy analysis however, favours organic farms, which better exploit local resources and put less stress to the local environment. Socio-economic and emergy indicators show that small conventional farms are the poorest performers overall. Analysis of emergy flows reveals a high dependency of all farm types from the wider socio-economic system, suggesting a limited scope to improve their sustainability.

description: We study light quark interactions in the instanton liquid at finite quark/baryon number density analyzing chiral and diquark condensates and investigate the behaviors of quark dynamical mass and both condensates together with instanton liquid density as a function of quark chemical potential. We conclude the quark impact (estimated in the tadpole approximation) on the instanton liquid could shift color superconducting phase transition to higher values of the chemical potential bringing critical quark matter density to the values essentially higher than conventional nuclear one.

description: We discuss the possibility of discriminating between different supersymmetric see-saw models by improving the experimental sensitivity to charged lepton flavour violating processes. Assuming a hierarchical neutrino mass spectrum, we classify realistic see-saw models according to how the hierarchy Delta m^2_{sun} << Delta m^2_{atm} is generated, and study the predictions of each class for the branching ratios of tau -> mu gamma and mu -> e gamma. The process tau -> mu gamma is found to be a particularly promising tool to probe the fundamental see-saw parameters, and especially to identify the origin of the large atmospheric mixing angle. Predictions for mu -> e gamma are more model-dependent. We point out that, even with an improvement of the experimental sensitivities by three orders of magnitude, both tau -> mu gamma and mu -> e gamma could escape detection in models where Delta m^2_{atm} is determined by one of the lightest right-handed neutrinos.

description: The wide proliferation of various wireless communication systems and wireless devices has led to the arrival of big data era in large scale wireless networks. Big data of large scale wireless networks has the key features of wide variety, high volume, real-time velocity and huge value leading to the unique research challenges that are different from existing computing systems. In this paper, we present a survey of the state-of-art big data analytics (BDA) approaches for large scale wireless networks. In particular, we categorize the life cycle of BDA into four consecutive stages: Data Acquisition, Data Preprocessing, Data Storage and Data Analytics. We then present a detailed survey of the technical solutions to the challenges in BDA for large scale wireless networks according to each stage in the life cycle of BDA. Moreover, we discuss the open research issues and outline the future directions in this promising area.

description: Recent estimates point to abundances of z > 4 sub-millimeter (sub-mm) galaxies far above model predictions. The matter is still debated. According to some analyses the excess may be substantially lower than initially thought and perhaps accounted for by flux boosting and source blending. However, there is no general agreement on this conclusion. An excess of z > 6 dusty galaxies has also been reported albeit with poor statistics. On the other hand, evidence of a top-heavy initial mass function (IMF) in high-z starburst galaxies has been reported in the past decades. This would translate into a higher sub-mm luminosity of dusty galaxies at fixed star formation rate, i.e., into a higher abundance of bright high-z sub-mm galaxies than expected for a universal Chabrier IMF. Exploiting our physical model for high-z proto-spheroidal galaxies, we find that part of the excess can be understood in terms of an IMF somewhat top-heavier than Chabrier. Such IMF is consistent with that recently proposed to account for the low 13C/18O abundance ratio in four dusty starburst galaxies at z = 2-3. However, extreme top-heavy IMFs are inconsistent with the sub-mm counts at z > 4.

description: This is a review of the issue of randomness in quantum mechanics, with special emphasis on its ambiguity; for example, randomness has different antipodal relationships to determinism, computability, and compressibility. Following a (Wittgensteinian) philosophical discussion of randomness in general, I argue that deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics (like Bohmian mechanics or 't Hooft's Cellular Automaton interpretation) are strictly speaking incompatible with the Born rule. I also stress the role of outliers, i.e. measurement outcomes that are not 1-random. Although these occur with low (or even zero) probability, their very existence implies that the no-signaling principle used in proofs of randomness of outcomes of quantum-mechanical measurements (and of the safety of quantum cryptography) should be reinterpreted statistically, like the second law of thermodynamics. In appendices I discuss the Born rule and its status in both single and repeated experiments, and review the notion of 1-randomness introduced by Kolmogorov, Chaitin, Martin-Lo"f, Schnorr, and others.

Lattice QCD at finite isospin density at zero and finite temperature

description: We simulate lattice QCD with dynamical $u$ and $d$ quarks at finite chemical potential, $μ_I$, for the third component of isospin ($I_3$), at both zero and at finite temperature. At zero temperature there is some $μ_I$, $μ_c$ say, above which $I_3$ and parity are spontaneously broken by a charged pion condensate. This is in qualitative agreement with the prediction of effective (chiral) Lagrangians which also predict $μ_c=m_π$. This transition appears to be second order, with scaling properties consistent with the mean-field predictions of such effective Lagrangian models. We have also studied the restoration of $I_3$ symmetry at high temperature for $μ_I > μ_c$. For $μ_I$ sufficiently large, this finite temperature phase transition appears to be first order. As $μ_I$ is decreased it becomes second order connecting continuously with the zero temperature transition.

description: Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic widely abused as a male aphrodisiac. Long term use of tramadol has been reported to cause derangement of reproductive and biochemical parameters by inducing oxidative stress. We therefore investigated the effects of vitamin E on tramadol-induced alterations in these parameters. Methodology: Male Wistar rats (210-250 g) were randomly grouped (n=5) and treated orally for 3 days. Group 1 served as control, Group 2 and 3 received tramadol (1.43 mg/kg) while Group 4 and 5 also received tramadol (50 mg/kg). Group 3 and 5 were co-administered with vitamin E (200 mg/kg). Animals were thereafter sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Sperm profile was determined microscopically while testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) were analysed using ELISA technique from serum obtained. Lipid profile and liver function biomarkers were examined spectrophotometrically Results: Tramadol (50 mg/kg) caused a significant decrease in LH and FSH, decreased weight of testes and seminal vesicles when compared with the control. Sperm motility, sperm count and testosterone decreased by tramadol (1.43 and 50 mg/kg) treatment while total cholesterol, total bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin and ALT were significantly increased. Coadministration with vitamin E prevented tramadolinduced increase in serum cholesterol and bilirubin. A transient protective effect of vitamin E was also observed on the sex hormones. Conclusion: Short term tramadol use adversely affects male reproductive and biochemical parameters and this may be ameliorated by vitamin E.

description: In this work we report a novel technique for simultaneous high-speed and high-resolution interrogation of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. The method uses the wavelength-to-time mapping effect in a chromatic dispersive medium and a couple of intensity Gaussian filters. The Bragg wavelength is retrieved by means of the amplitude comparison between the two filtered grating spectrums, which are mapped into a time-domain waveform. In this way, measurement distortions arising from residual power due to the grating sidelobes are completely avoided, and the wavelength measurement range is considerably extended with respect to the previously proposed schemes. We present the mathematical background for the interrogation of FBGs with an arbitrary bandwidth. In our proof-of-concept experiments, we achieved sensitivities of ~20 pm with ultra-fast rates up to 264 MHz.

description: An improved understanding of nonperturbative QCD can be obtained by the recently developed soft color interaction models. Their essence is the variation of color string-field topologies, giving a unified description of final states in high energy interactions, e.g., diffractive and nondiffractive events in ep and ppbar. Here we present a detailed study of such models (the soft color interaction model and the generalized area law model) applied to ppbar, considering also the general problem of the underlying event including beam particle remnants. With models tuned to HERA ep data, we find a good description also of Tevatron data on production of W, beauty and jets in diffractive events defined either by leading antiprotons or by one or two rapidity gaps in the forward or backward regions. We also give predictions for diffractive J/psi production where the soft exchange mechanism produces both a gap and a color singlet ccbar state in the same event. This soft color interaction approach is also compared with Pomeron-based models for diffraction, and some possibilities to experimentally discriminate between these different approaches are discussed.

description: Oligopeptidases B (OpdBs) are trypsin-like peptidases from protozoa and bacteria that belong to the prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) family. All POPs consist of C-terminal catalytic domain and N-terminal β-propeller domain and exist in two major conformations: closed (active), where the domains and residues of the catalytic triad are positioned close to each other, and open (non-active), where two domains and residues of the catalytic triad are separated. The interdomain interface, particularly, one of its salt bridges (SB1) plays a role in the transition between these two conformations. However, due to double amino acid substitution (E/R and R/Q), this functionally important SB1 is absent in γ-proteobacterial OpdBs including peptidase from Serratia proteamaculans (PSP). In this study, molecular dynamics was used to analyze inter- and intradomain interactions stabilizing PSP in the closed conformation, in which catalytic H652 is located close to other residues of the catalytic triad. The 3D models of either wild-type PSP or of mutant PSPs carrying activating mutations E125A and D649A in complexes with peptide-substrates were subjected to the analysis. The mechanism that regulates transition of H652 from active to non-active conformation upon domain separation in PSP and other γ-proteobacterial OpdB was proposed. The complex network of polar interactions within H652-loop/C-terminal α-helix and between these areas and β-propeller domain, established in silico, was in a good agreement with both previously published results on effects of single-residue mutations and new data on effects of the activating mutations on each other and on the low active mutant PSP-K655A.

Triviality and Vacuum Stability Bounds on the Higgs Boson Mass beyond the Standard Model

description: The triviality and vacuum stability bounds on the Higgs-boson mass were revisited in presence of weakly-coupled new interactions parameterized in a model-independent way by effective operators of dimension 6. It was shown that for the scale of new physics in the region Lambda=.5-50 TeV the Standard Model triviality upper bound remains unmodified whereas it is natural to expect that the lower bound derived from the requirement of vacuum stability is increased by 40-60 GeV depending on the scale Lambda and strength of coefficients of effective operators. It turns out that if the Higgs-boson mass is close to its lower LEP limit then the upper bound on the scale of new physics that follows from the vacuum stability requirement would be decreased dramatically even for modest values of coefficients of effective operators implying new physics already at the scale of a few TeV.

Year: 2025

description: This article provides a comparative analysis of the legislative framework for water management and conservation in the United Kingdom and the United States. The study examines the similarities and differences in the legal norms, institutional structures and policies for water resources management in both countries. While the United Kingdom has a centralized regulatory system, water management in the United States is carried out mainly at the state level. The article also analyzes the main laws aimed at protecting and conserving water resources, their effectiveness and existing problems. The results of the study can be used to develop effective legal mechanisms in the field of water management for Uzbekistan.

description: Observations of the early Universe suggest that reionization was complete by $z\sim6$, however, the exact history of this process is still unknown. One method for measuring the evolution of the neutral fraction throughout this epoch is via observing the Ly$α$ damping wings of high-redshift quasars. In order to constrain the neutral fraction from quasar observations, one needs an accurate model of the quasar spectrum around Ly$α$, after the spectrum has been processed by its host galaxy but before it is altered by absorption and damping in the intervening IGM. In this paper, we present a novel machine learning approach, using artificial neural networks, to reconstruct quasar continua around Ly$α$. Our QSANNdRA algorithm improves the error in this reconstruction compared to the state-of-the-art PCA-based model in the literature by 14.2% on average, and provides an improvement of 6.1% on average when compared to an extension thereof. In comparison with the extended PCA model, QSANNdRA further achieves an improvement of 22.1% and 16.8% when evaluated on low-redshift quasars most similar to the two high-redshift quasars under consideration, ULAS J1120+0641 at $z=7.0851$ and ULAS J1342+0928 at $z=7.5413$, respectively. Using our more accurate reconstructions of these two $z>7$ quasars, we estimate the neutral fraction of the IGM using a homogeneous reionization model and find $\bar{x}_\mathrm{HI} = 0.25^{+0.05}_{-0.05}$ at $z=7.0851$ and $\bar{x}_\mathrm{HI} = 0.60^{+0.11}_{-0.11}$ at $z=7.5413$. Our results are consistent with the literature and favour a rapid end to reionization.

description: In this study, catalytic pyrolysis of pulper rejects was performed with catalysts obtained from activated clinoptilolite and meerschaum for the production of pyrolytic fuel oils. The increasing proportion of polymers in rejects led to an increase in oil yield in non-catalytic process. The highest liquid (61.4%) and char (32.19%) yields were obtained using 15% clinoptilolite and 5% meerschaum, while the highest gas yield (21.44%) was obtained via the non-catalytic process. The fuel properties of the oils were significantly enhanced with the catalytic process. The clinoptilolite catalyst showed better performance compared to the meerschaum in terms of oil yield and fuel properties.

description: The negative influence of cigarette smoking on developing fetus is well documented but reports of prenatal cigarette smoking on male reproductive hormones are controversial. However, shortened anogenital distance (AGD) has been established to be an indicator of potential male infertility. We therefore investigated the effects of prenatal exposure to passive cigarette smoke on AGD, reproductive hormones and oxidative stress biomarkers of Wistar rats. Female rats were randomly divided into two groups (n=5) and cohabited with male. Group 1 was exposed to smoke from an idling cigarette from day 1 of gestation till parturition, while Group 2 served as control (no-exposure). Morphometric variables of the litters were recorded on postnatal day 1 (PND1) and at 6th week postnatal life. The male offspring were then sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) were analysed using ELISA. Serum levels of Catalase, sodium dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), lipid profile and liver function biomarkers were examined spectrophotometrically. On PND1, crown rump length and total body length of rats prenatally exposed to cigarette smoke were significantly shorter. Significantly shorter AGD and crown rump length were also observed at 6th week. Testosterone, LH and FSH were not significantly affected. Cigarette smoke exposure significantly decreased Catalase and SOD while MDA increased. Liver function biomarkers, HDL and LDL were not affected but serum levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride significantly increased. The observed decline in AGD and precipitation of oxidative stress by intrauterine cigarette smoke exposure may predispose to male infertility at adulthood.
