description: The food and agribusiness is an important sector in European logistics with a share in the EU road transport of about 20%. One of the main logistic challenges in this sector is to deal with the high dynamics and uncertainty in supply and demand. This paper discusses the opportunities of Future Internet (FI) technologies to addresses the specific demands on information systems for logistics in the food and agribusiness domain. More specifically, it presents a Future Internet (FI) based design for smart agri-food logistic information systems. This design aims to enable new types of efficient and responsive logistics networks with flexible chain-encompassing tracking and tracing systems and decision support based on that information. These systems effectively virtualise the logistics flows from farm to fork, support a timely and error-free exchange of logistics information and provide functionality for intelligent analysis and reporting of exchanged data to enable early warning and advanced forecasting.

description: Accelerated expansion of the Universe may result from an anti-frictional force that is self-consistently exerted on cold dark matter (CDM). Cosmic anti-friction is shown to give rise to an effective negative pressure of the cosmic medium. While other models introduce a component of dark energy besides ``standard'' CDM, we resort to a phenomenological one-component model of CDM with internal self-interactions. We demonstrate how the dynamics of the LambdaCDM model may be recovered as a special case of cosmic anti-friction.

The optimal cloning maps are derived without simplifying assumptions from first principles, for any number of input and output qubits, and for a single input qutrit and any number of output qutrits. We also compare the cloning maps for global and single particle fidelities, and we show that the two criteria lead to different optimal maps.

description: This study examines a two-stage three-machine flow-shop assembly scheduling model in which job processing time is considered as a mixed function of a controlled truncation parameter with a sum-of-processing-times-based learning effect. However, the truncation function is very limited in the two-stage flow-shop assembly scheduling settings. To overcome this limitation, this study investigates a two-stage three-machine flow-shop assembly problem with a truncation learning function where the makespan criterion (completion of the last job) is minimized. Given that the proposed model is NP hard, dominance rules, lemmas and a lower bound are derived and applied to the branch-and-bound method. A dynamic differential evolution algorithm, a hybrid greedy iterated algorithm and a genetic algorithm are also proposed for searching approximate solutions. Results obtained from test experiments validate the performance of all the proposed algorithms.
$C^{(n)}$-Cardinals

Subjects: subject: Logic (math.LO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: For each natural number $n$, let $C^{(n)}$ be the closed and unbounded proper class of ordinals $α$ such that $V_α$ is a $Σ_n$ elementary substructure of $V$. We say that $κ$ is a \emph{$C^{(n)}$-cardinal} if it is the critical point of an elementary embedding $j:V\to M$, $M$ transitive, with $j(κ)$ in $C^{(n)}$. By analyzing the notion of $C^{(n)}$-cardinal at various levels of the usual hierarchy of large cardinal principles we show that, starting at the level of superstrong cardinals and up to the level of rank-into-rank embeddings, $C^{(n)}$-cardinals form a much finer hierarchy. The naturalness of the notion of $C^{(n)}$-cardinal is exemplified by showing that the existence of $C^{(n)}$-extendible cardinals is equivalent to simple reflection principles for classes of structures, which generalize the notions of supercompact and extendible cardinals. Moreover, building on results of \cite{BCMR}, we give new characterizations of Vopeňka's Principle in terms of $C^{(n)}$-extendible cardinals.
A Note on the Entropy Force in Kinetic Theory and Black Holes

description: The entropy force is the collective effect of inhomogeneity in disorder in a statistical many particle system. We demonstrate its presumable effect on one particular astrophysical object, the black hole. We then derive the kinetic equations of a large system of particles including the entropy force. It adds a collective therefore integral term to the Klimontovich equation for the evolution of the one-particle distribution function. Its integral character transforms the basic one particle kinetic equation into an integro-differential equation already on the elementary level, showing that not only the microscopic forces but the hole system reacts to its evolution of its probability distribution in a holistic way. It also causes a collisionless dissipative term which however is small in the inverse particle number and thus negligible. However it contributes an entropic collisional dissipation term. The latter is defined via the particle correlations but lacks any singularities and thus is large scale. It allows also for the derivation of a kinetic equation for the entropy density in phase space. This turns out to be of same structure as the equation for the phase space density. The entropy density determines itself holistically via the integral entropy force thus providing a self-controlled evolution of entropy in phase space.

description: Using biomass to produce energy is not a new idea. In the past, the by-products of energy(?) production processes or naturally grown materials were mainly used for energy production. At the same time, during the production of biomass the conventional sources of energy are used (fuels, the embodied energy of which is used in the production of the biomass and equipment, etc.) which must be taken into account when determining the net energy production. This research aims to examine how to optimise the production and use of biomass energy and its supply chain in the energetic and economic criteria system, as well as how to impact upon the managing models of the processes to the energetic and economic parameters of the supply chain; we ask what criteria characterise the natural (environmental), economic and social sustainability, and how they can be implemented e.g. within the framework of an innovation cluster. This article describes a test model, and analyses the results of the model examinations and the conditions for compliance with sustainability criteria. Arguing the environmental, economic and social sustainability among the criteria of the model for evaluation is not possible at all times by means of direct indicators. The results of the research proved that only multi-criteria optimisation models serve a proper decision-making instrument for the evaluation of biomass utilisation for energy production.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Competitive ratio

Predictions

description: Coloring is a notoriously hard problem, and even more so in the online setting, where each arriving vertex has to be colored immediately and irrevocably. Already on trees, which are trivially two-colorable, it is impossible to achieve anything better than a logarithmic competitive ratio.
We show how to undercut this bound by a double-logarithmic factor in the slightly relaxed online model where the vertices arrive in random order. We then also analyze algorithms with predictions, showing how well we can color trees with machine-learned advice of varying reliability. We further extend our analysis to all two-colorable graphs and provide matching lower bounds in both cases. Finally, we demonstrate how the two mentioned approaches, both of which diminish the often unjustified pessimism of the classical online model, can be combined to yield even better results.

description: Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a tree widely cultivated in temperate regions for its tasty and healing fruits. Pruning works on the tree give each year considerable amounts of woody wastes that hardly have any utility. The aims of this work were to detect the most active antioxidants present in a cherry pruning wood sample, to isolate and characterize them, and study the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of components found in the wood ethyl acetate extract against a selection of foodborne microorganisms. The online HPLC–DPPH technique allowed the detection of two active antioxidant peaks that, after being isolated by a combination of countercurrent chromatography (FCPC) and conventional preparative techniques, and subsequent structural characterization by NMR, MS and polarimetry, resulted to be (‒)-catechin (1) and (‒)-taxifolin (4). Other components of the cherry wood extract were also isolated, among which compounds 1, 4, and (+)-dihydrowogonin (12) have never been reported in P. avium. A selection of the isolated flavonoids was submitted to antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity evaluations against strains from type culture collections, as well as on multi-resistant strains previously isolated in our laboratory. Those compounds with antimicrobial activity detected in preliminary screenings by standard agar diffusion tests ‒the flavan-3-ol 1, the flavanonols 4 and (+)-aromadendrin (5), the flavanone (+)-pinocembrin (15), and the flavone tectochrysin (17)‒ were subjected to the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) test, showing all of them MIC values of 100 μg/mL. Compound 4 also induced a significative inhibition on the formation of biofilms by Enterobacter sp. UJA37p at a concentration of 1 μg/mL and a significative disruption of preformed biofilm by this strain at 0.1 µg/mL. Similar results on biofilm disruption were observed with compound 17.

description: The GPU-based High-order adaptive OpticS Testbench (GHOST) at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a new 2-stage extreme adaptive optics (XAO) testbench at ESO. The GHOST is designed to investigate and evaluate new control methods (machine learning, predictive control) for XAO which will be required for instruments such as the Planetary Camera and Spectrograph of ESOs Extremely Large Telescope. The first stage corrections are performed in simulation, with the residual wavefront error at each iteration saved. The residual wavefront errors from the first stage are then injected into the GHOST using a spatial light modulator. The second stage correction is made with a Boston Michromachines Corporation 492 actuator deformable mirror and a pyramid wavefront sensor. The flexibility of the bench also opens it up to other applications, one such application is investigating the flip-flop modulation method for the pyramid wavefront sensor.

description: This study was initiated to identify market chain actors and their function in the market, investigate the structure conduct and performance of goat marketing in south omo zones of SNNPR, Ethiopia during the year 2018. Primary data were collected from sampled pastoralists and agro pastoralists, traders and brokers. Before the household survey, key informant interview and focus group discussions were conducted with producers, traders and brokers. Descriptive Statistics and qualitative data analysis techniques were employed to analyze the goat market structure, conduct and performance. The results show that producers, brokers, traders and consumers were the major goat market actors. Regarding the market structure, cattle market is known to be dominated by few traders. Although the degree of competition varies, goat market structure in the study area has an oligopolistic nature. This shows that only few traders have the majority of market share and earn abnormal profit. Besides, goat market is characterized by entry barriers, distant market point, high trucking cost, seasonality of marketing, information asymmetries and unfriendly relation between actors. As the pastoralists and agro pastoralists mainly depend on goat for their livelihoods and other cultural values, traders take advantage of the asymmetric market information towards them. The larger share of the market gains remains with end traders thereby limiting the pastoralists and agro pastoralists chance to realize the economic gains in goat production. Thus, linking producers to market and its benefits, establishing cooperatives and development of infrastructure could play a significant role for optimization of the sector.
Gravitational waves interacting with a spinning charged particle in the presence of a uniform magnetic field

description: The equations which determine the response of a spinning charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field to an incident gravitational wave are derived in the linearized approximation to general relativity. We verify that 1) the components of the 4-momentum, 4-velocity and the components of the spinning tensor, both electric and magnetic moments, exhibit resonances and 2) the co-existence of the uniform magnetic field and the GW are responsible for the resonances appearing in our equations. In the absence of the GW, the magnetic field and the components of the spin tensor decouple and the magnetic resonances disappear.

description: In [1], two of the present authors along with P. Raman attempted to extend the Amplituhedron program for scalar field theories [2] to quartic scalar interactions. In this paper we develop various aspects of this proposal. Using recent seminal results in Representation theory [3,4], we show that projectivity of scattering forms and existence of kinematic space associahedron completely capture planar amplitudes of quartic interaction. We generalise the results of [1] and show that for any $n$-particle amplitude, the positive geometry associated to the projective scattering form is a convex realisation of Stokes polytope which can be naturally embedded inside one of the ABHY associahedra defined in [2,5]. For a special class of Stokes polytopes with hyper-cubic topology, we show that they have a canonical convex realisation in kinematic space as boundaries of kinematic space associahedra. We then use these kinematic space geometric constructions to write worldsheet forms for $ϕ^{4}$ theory which are forms of lower rank on the CHY moduli space. We argue that just as in the case of bi-adjoint $ϕ^3$ scalar amplitudes, scattering equations can be used as diffeomorphisms between certain $\frac{n-4}{2}$ forms on the worldsheet and $\frac{n-4}{2}$ forms on ABHY associahedron that generate quartic amplitudes.

description: in the coming decades: the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates an increase of the world population from the current 6 billion people to 9-11 billion people by 2050 leading to a doubling of world-wide food demand (FAO 2009). In the meantime, we have already exceeded the carrying capacity of planet Earth with the current methods of agricultural production. Further globalization, climate change, growing welfare in emerging economies, a shift from a fuel-based towards a bio-based economy in the industrialized countries and competing claims on land, fresh water and labor will complicate the challenge to feed the world within the carrying capacity of planet Earth without further pollution or overexploitation. In industrialized countries, it is expected that novel technologies will decrease the gap between actual and attainable yields based on agro-ecological endowments under rain-fed high-input farming which will lead to an increase in food supply, locally up to a potential of 60% (Bruinsma 2003). Beside food security and sustainability, food safety has increasingly become a very important issue driven by scandals such as polluted baby milk powder in China or contamination of horse meat in Europe. These might be isolated incidents, but they have a huge impact on the overall perception of the integrity of food production. In relation to these issues, transparency in food network

description: The purpose of this paper is to explore recent trends in the Croatian agriculture and forestry business sector and compare it with the Croatian economy as a whole. This topic is considered interesting because recent business years have been heavily influenced by the global financial crisis. Many authors would say that agriculture, as a specific branch of the economy, does not follow general trends, but is affected rather by other factors, especially such as environmental ones. The global financial crisis had the most negative impact on the Croatian economy in the 2008/2009 period, when the GDP growth rate tumbled from 2.4% to -5.8%. Although some positive movements have been recorded since 2009, a recession is still going on. Based on information from the National Financial Agency (FINA) database we found that during the period 2007-2011, agricultural firms experienced the same trends as the whole economy, except in terms of average monthly salaries and employment. However, due to the impact of / on? agricultural products prices and yields, in two year period from 2008 to 2010, agricultural firms recorded an almost linear fall in revenues, while the national business sector on the whole experienced a sharp fall in revenues in 2009 and then only a modest fall in 2010.

description: We present an economic impacts model based on direct expenditures for European cycle routes, originally designed in 2009 as part of a study commissioned by the European Parliament. At its request, the study was updated in 2012, including a refined version of our model which takes some limitations of the former model into account. Our main findings are that cycle tourists’ daily spending is comparable to that of other tourists, and that cycle tourism can contribute significantly in particular to rural economies that have not previously enjoyed mainstream tourism development. (European) cycle tourism thus proves to be useful as an (additional) tool for regional rural development. We arrived at a total estimated direct expenditures in Europe of almost €44 billion (€35 billion from day trips and €8.94 billion from overnight trips). We applied the model to the routes of EuroVelo, the European cycle route network which is currently being developed, showing their considerable economic potential of over €7 billion in direct expenditures. Furthermore, cycle tourism has a far lower negative impact on the environment (in terms of carbon dioxide emissions) than other forms of tourism. Cycle tourism is therefore a good example of a low carbon tourism product which could be developed as a major slow travel opportunity across (rural) Europe.

description: We obtain an analytic approximation for the effective action of a quantum scalar field in a general static two-dimensional spacetime. We apply this to the dilaton gravity model resulting from the spherical reduction of a massive, non-minimally coupled scalar field in the four-dimensional Schwarzschild geometry. Careful analysis near the event horizon shows the resulting two-dimensional system to be regular in the Hartle-Hawking state for general values of the field mass, coupling, and angular momentum, while at spatial infinity it reduces to a thermal gas at the black-hole temperature.

description: The interaction of ultra-high energy cosmic rays with the atmosphere nuclei has long been seen as a unique opportunity to study hadronic interactions above energies attainable by accelerators. However, so far the multiparticle production properties of the first interaction have been difficult to assess as they are masked by the many interactions that outline the shower development. In this work, we demonstrate, that relevant properties of the ultra-high energy first interaction can be accessed through the analysis of the shower-to-shower distribution of muons arriving at the ground. In particular, it is shown that the slope of the low-tail of the number of muon distribution measured at the ground is a direct link to the high energy spectrum of neutral pions produced in the interaction of the primary protons. In this presentation, it will also address the experimental feasibility of such measurements and their connection with physical quantities being currently measured at the Large Hadron Collider.

description: The Northern Indian Ocean hosts two Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZ), one in the Arabian Sea and the other in the Bay of Bengal. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was used to understand the total bacterial diversity in, the surface sediment off Goa within the OMZ of the Arabian Sea, and off Paradeep within the OMZ of the Bay of Bengal. Functional profiling was carried out to pinpoint the occurrence of specific bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) which have been previously described to harbour certain genes/enzymes relevant to biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur compounds. The dominant phyla identified included Firmicutes (33.08%) and Proteobacteria (32.59%) from the Arabian Sea, and Proteobacteria (52.65%) and Planctomycetes (9.36%) from the Bay of Bengal. Only 30% of OTUs were shared between the sites which make up three-fourth of the Bay of Bengal OMZ bacterial community, but only one-fourth of the Arabian Sea OMZ sediment bacterial community. Statistical analysis indicated the bacterial diversity from sediments of the Bay of Bengal OMZ is ∼48% higher than the Arabian Sea OMZ. The community analysis combined with a predictive functional profiling of 16S rRNA amplicons revealed some major differences regarding sediment nitrogen fixation and carbon recycling, and identified a distinct bacterial community structure within the two shallow OMZ sites lying in the east coast and west coast of the peninsular India.

description: In Burundi, more than 90% of the active population is engaged in family agriculture, which plays a vital role in food production and constitutes more than 50% of the GDP. Before the civil war of 1993, Kirundo was deemed the “breadbasket of the country”, as the region fed many parts of Burundi through growing particular foods such as legumes and cereals. Family farming was market-oriented. Kirundo alone includes 8 lakes which offer opportunities for field irrigation. Today, this region is the first province in Burundi which shows a high rate of malnutrition, as poverty has increased and a sharp 53.9 % decline in agricultural production has been witnessed between 1996 and 2009. The aim of this article is to analyse the role of social capital through the local association network in improving family agriculture and the resilience to climate change and conflict crisis. In this study, 73 farmers were surveyed in Kirundo province through means of a questionnaire, and the study was completed by collecting secondary data. Analysis of the data reveals that, despite recurrent droughts in that region which caused deaths due to famines and displacement of people to neighbouring countries such as Rwanda and Tanzania, 44% of the farmers who were surveyed were shown to have resilience to climate change. The analysis of data shows that these farmers were members of well organised local associations, and had learned about specific topics such as financial management, processing and storage of agricultural products and livestock. The social capital network positively influences their income and their resilience to climate change and conflict crisis.

description: We study Randall-Sundrum brane models from the viewpoint of condensed matter/quantum optics. Following the idea of analog gravity we obtain effective metrics in fluid and Bose-Einstein-condensate systems mimicking those in the brane framework. We find that the effect of warp factors in the bulk geometry translates into finiteness of the analog systems. As an illustration of this identification we give a new interpretation of the peculiar behaviour of the critical temperature for the splitting of thick branes in warped spacetimes.

description: A white dwarf star achieves its equilibrium from the balancing of the gravitational compression against the Fermi degeneracy pressure of the electron gas. In field theory there are examples (e.g. the monopole-charge system) where a strong magnetic field can transform a boson into a fermion or a fermion into a boson. In some condensed matter systems (e.g. fractional quantum Hall systems) a strong magnetic field can transform electrons into effective fermions, or effective anyons. Based on these examples we investigate the possibility that the strong magnetic fields of some white dwarfs may transform some fraction of the electrons into effective bosons. This could have consequences for the structure of highly magnetized white dwarfs. It would alter the mass-radius relationship, and in certain instances one could envision a scenario where a white dwarf below the Chandrasekhar limit could nevertheless collapse into a neutron star due to a weakening of the electron degeneracy pressure. In addition the transformation of electrons into effective bosons could result in the electrons Bose condensing, which could speed up the cooling rate of white dwarfs.
