description: Canonical ensembles consisting of $M$-unit $Hubbard$ $dimers$ have been studies within the nonextensive statistics (NES). The temperature dependences of the energy, entropy, specific heat and susceptibility have been calculated for the number of dimers, $M = 1, 2, 3$ and $\infty$. We have assumed the relation between the entropic index $q$ and the cluster size $N$ given by $q=1+2/N$ ($N = 2\:M$ for $M$ dimers), which was previously derived by several methods. For relating the physical temperature $T$ to the Lagrange multiplier $β$, two methods have been adopted: $T=1/k_B β$ in the method A [Tsallis {\it et al.} Physica A {\bf 261}, 534 (1998)], and $T=c_q/k_B β$ in the method B [Abe {\it et al.} Phys. Lett. A {\bf 281}, 126 (2001)], where $k_B$ denotes the Boltzman constant, $c_q= \sum_i p_i^q$, and $p_i$ the probability distribution of the $i$th state. The susceptibility and specific heat of spin dimers ({\it Heisenberg dimers}) described by the Heisenberg model have been discussed also by using the NES with the methods A and B. A comparison between the two methods suggests that the method B may be more reasonable than the method A for nonextensive systems.

description: In the era of a global economy, farmers face increasing pressure in developing a portfolio of various marketing channels. However, the literature on direct marketing strategies has mainly focused on consumers. Using farm-level data this study investigates factors associated with the choice of three direct marketing strategies. We apply a selectivity based approach for the multinomial logit model to assess the relationship between the choice of direct sales marketing strategy on the financial performance of the business. Findings from this study suggest that obtaining an Internet connection and accessing the Internet for farm commerce increases the likelihood of using intermediated marketing outlets. Using the Internet for farm commerce and operating diversified farms (more enterprises) is associated with increases in the likelihood that the farmer relies on direct to consumer marketing outlets. The gender of the operator, the portfolio of input acquisition and management practices, and participation in Federal, State, or local farm program payments is positively associated with total farm sales in all three direct marketing strategies. Finally, an accurate evaluation of the projected earnings from the direct-to-consumer marketing outlet must account for selectivity effects.

description: This paper proposes a new framework to include the interaction of vertically differentiated goods, which was largely ignored in previous studies, to analyze the market power of exporters and importers in world markets of agricultural commodities. The framework is applied in an empirical study of world soybean markets. The empirical analysis of world soybean markets in this paper can provide more accurate estimation results of residual demand and supply elasticities and better measures of the market power in world soybean markets. The new estimation results and measures will improve the profession’s understanding of the functioning of world markets of non-GM and GM soybeans and have significant policy and welfare implications.

description: Consistent and reliable data on farmland values is critical to assessing the overall financial health of agricultural producers. However, little is known about the idiosyncrasies and similarities of standard land value data sources – U.S. Department of Agriculture, Federal Reserve Bank land value surveys, and transaction prices. All three data sources are highly correlated, but transaction prices tend to be higher, especially for irrigated cropland and ranchland. USDA land values are reported as representing land values on January first, but instead they more closely represent first and second quarter land values according to a multi-state comparison to changes in quarterly Federal Reserve land values. Given the finding that first quarter Federal Reserve Bank land values lead USDA land values and that they are published before the USDA release, Federal Reserve land values are a timely indicator of agricultural producers’ financial position.

description: We study the excess conductance due to the superconducting proximity effect in a ballistic two-dimensional electron system subject to an in-plane magnetic field. We show that under certain conditions the interplay of the Zeeman spin splitting and the effect of a screening supercurrent gives rise to a spin-selective Andreev enhancement of the conductance and anomalies in its voltage, temperature and magnetic field characteristics. The magnetic-field influence on Andreev reflection is discussed in the context of using superconducting hybrid junctions for spin detection.

description: The Japanese government has encouraged reduction, reuse, and recycling of waste with the slogan "3R" under the Basic Law for Establishing a Recycling-based Society. However, the law is non-binding in nature; thus, the collection of each type of recyclable containers and packaging is done at the discretion of the municipalities. Some municipalities do not provide collection services for these recyclables. Why do some municipalities recycle while others do not? Few studies have investigated the determinants of the municipality's decision to collect recyclables. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors affecting a municipality's decision to implement the collection of already sorted recyclable containers and packaging in Japan. We use a panel data at the municipal level, which enabled us to analyze the behavioral characteristics of each municipality more accurately. We investigate the municipality's decision to provide collection service for each type of recyclable containers and packaging, while the other studies looked at recyclables as a whole. Equations for each type of recyclables have been estimated using the random effect probit model. Our results suggest that some socioeconomic and technological factors could keep the municipalities from implementing the collection of sorted recyclables.
Surface waves in a channel with thin tunnels and wells at the bottom: non-reflecting underwater tomography

description: We consider the propagation of surface water waves in a straight planar channel perturbed at the bottom by several thin curved tunnels and wells. We propose a method to construct non reflecting underwater topographies of this type at an arbitrary prescribed wave number. To proceed, we compute asymptotic expansions of the diffraction solutions with respect to the small parameter of the geometry taking into account the existence of boundary layer phenomena. We establish error estimates to validate the expansions using advances techniques of weighted spaces with detached asymptotics. In the process, we show the absence of trapped surface waves for perturbations small enough. This analysis furnishes asymptotic formulas for the scattering matrix and we use them to determine underwater topographies which are non-reflecting. Theoretical and numerical examples are given.

description: This paper examines the spatial externalities of conventional and organic pest control methods to determine if, and how, the two types affect each other. These interactions make the problem more complicated than the usual analysis of a single externality. The numerical simulation model includes one organically managed and one conventionally managed field. One pest and one predator of the pest move between the two fields over five seasons. In each season, the conventional grower has the option of applying a broad-spectrum pesticide that kills the predator a selective pesticide that has no adverse effects on the predator but is either more expensive or less effective than the broad-spectrum pesticide. The organic grower can apply an organic pesticide, augment the predator population, or both. The simulation model identifies the socially optimal pest control decisions and the Nash equilibrium decisions of both growers over the five growing seasons. The relative price and efficacy of the selective pesticide, the type of predator, and the type of pest introduction all influence whether or not either or both growers make inefficient decisions. Under certain conditions, regional pest management, equivalent to coordination of pest control across growers, could increase total regional profits.

description: This paper assesses the effect of the U.S. Job Corps (JC), the nation's largest and most comprehensive job training program targeting disadvantaged youths, on wages. We employ partial identification techniques and construct informative nonparametric bounds for the causal effect of interest under weaker assumptions than those conventionally used for point identification of treatment effects in the presence of sample selection. In addition, we propose and estimate bounds on quantile treatment effects of the program on participants' wages. In general, we find convincing evidence of positive impacts of JC on participants' wages. Importantly, we find that estimated impacts on lower quantiles of the distribution are higher, with the highest impact being in the 5th percentile where a positive effect on wages is bounded between 8.4 and 16.1 percent. These bounds suggest that JC results in wage compression within eligible participants.

The total sample is a combination of galaxies from the SAMI Galaxy Survey and DYNAMO survey. For typical low-$z$ galaxies taken from the SAMI Galaxy Survey, we find the vertical velocity dispersion ($σ_{v, z}$) to be positively correlated with measures of star-formation rate, stellar mass, HI gas mass, and rotational velocity. The greatest correlation is with star-formation rate surface density ($Σ_\text{SFR}$). Using the total sample, we find $σ_{v, z}$ increases slowly as a function of integrated star-formation rate in the range SFR $\in$ [$10^{-3}$, 1] M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$ from $17\pm3$ km s$^{-1}$ to $24\pm5$ km s$^{-1}$ followed by a steeper increase up to $σ_{v, z}$ $\sim 80$ km s$^{-1}$ for SFR $\gtrsim 1$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$. This is consistent with recent theoretical models that suggest a $σ_{v, z}$ floor driven by star-formation feedback processes with an upturn in $σ_{v, z}$ at higher SFR driven by gravitational transport of gas through the disc.

description: The following hypothesis was tested: Willingness to bear a negative water impairment externality differs between those who do and those who do not receive economic benefit from the impairment source, e.g., a paper mill. The hypothesis was tested using a hedonic analysis of ambient water quality in two discrete housing markets in the Pigeon River Watershed, which have been polluted by the operation of a paper mill. The results suggest that North Carolina residents of the subwatersheds with impaired river, who experience economic benefits from the paper mill in addition to harmful effects, do perceive the pollution as a negative externality, whereas they may have a willingness to bear a similar type of negative externality associated with impaired streams. In contrast, the effects of both degraded river and streams on property values is perceived as a negative externality by residents in the Tennessee side, who experience only harmful effects from the pollution. North Carolina residents may hold greater willingness to bear the harmful effects of pollution as a given condition in their decision-making process because they receive economic benefits from the paper mill, while this internalization of the negative externality is weaker for residents in the Tennessee side.

description: We investigate the effect of a single spin flip preceding a global quench between translationally invariant local Hamiltonians in spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}$ chains. The effect of the localised perturbation does not fade away however large the distance from the perturbation is. In particular, translational invariance is not restored and the infinite time limit depends on whether the spin was flipped or not. We argue that this phenomenon is more general than the particular example considered and we conjecture that it is triggered by topological properties, specifically, the existence of "semilocal charges".

description: Using an extensive household-level data set collected in Tanzania, this paper investigates the determinants of the technological adoption of rice cultivation and of paddy yield. We especially focus on the impact of credit and training on the adoption of modern technologies. Based on empirical results, we argue that modern inputs and improved practices of rice cultivation enhance the increase in paddy yield. We also argue that the impact of credit and training on the adoption of modern technologies can differ for different technologies. If the adoption of a specific technology does not require a large amount of cash, knowledge given by training is sufficient to enhance adoption. On the other hand, those who can access credit or self-finance can adopt technologies, which require cash on hand.
Topological Operators and Completeness of Spectrum in Discrete Gauge Theories

description: In many gauge theories, the existence of particles in every representation of the gauge group (also known as completeness of the spectrum) is equivalent to the absence of one-form global symmetries. However, this relation does not hold, for example, in the gauge theory of non-abelian finite groups. We refine this statement by considering topological operators that are not necessarily associated with any global symmetry. For discrete gauge theory in three spacetime dimensions, we show that completeness of the spectrum is equivalent to the absence of certain Gukov-Witten topological operators. We further extend our analysis to four and higher spacetime dimensions. Since topological operators are natural generalizations of global symmetries, we discuss evidence for their absence in a consistent theory of quantum gravity.

description: Mongo Beti (1932-2001), romancier, pamphletaire et journaliste, a abondamment enchaine un discours continu sur certaines questions socio-politiques portant sur la vie au Cameroun. II nous a fait un legs durable de son oeuvre romanesque qui s'etend de l'ere coloniale jusqu'au debut du XXIe siecle, et depeint de facon dynamique revolution socio-historique de son pays natal. Le renouvellement de son style romanesque dans la realisation de Trop de soleil tue I'amour (1999) et de Branle-bas en noir et blanc (2000), ses deux derniers romans, merite un examen des modifications narratives et de leurs effets par rapport a la forme narrative de ses romans precedents. Bien que nous demontrions une evolution romanesque possible en comparant quelques-uns de ses romans contestataires, a savoir Ville cruelle (1954), Le Pauvre Christ de Bomba (1956) et Mission terminee (1957), avec Trop de soleil tue I'amour et Branlebas en noir et blanc, nous decouvrirons egalement, du point de vue narratologique, que Beti a conserve dans une certaine mesure les fonctions premieres accordees a ses narrateurs. Afin de degager des changements identifiables, cette etude reposera sur l'approche narratologique edifiee par Gerard Genette dans Figures III (1972). Nous examinerons en particulier la perceptibilite de la presence du narrateur betien, ses rapports avec le recit et avec l'histoire et la facon dont certains aspects de Pinstance narrative se modifient d'un recit a 1'autre. Nous releverons ainsi de notre corpus des eloignements et des rapprochements entre les narrateurs autodiegetique, homodiegetique et heterodiegetique betiens, quant a leur situation narrative et leurs fonctions. Selon l'approche adoptee, nous verrons que Beti manipule les outils de la narration pour transmettre, sous forme d'un discours romanesque impressionnant, ses nombreuses preoccupations des conditions socio-politiques (neo)coloniales contemporaines.

description: Numerical simulations show that a long-range scalar interaction in a single species of massive dark matter particles causes voids between the concentrations of large galaxies to be more nearly empty, suppresses accretion of intergalactic matter onto galaxies at low redshift, and produces an early generation of dense dark matter halos. These three effects, in moderation, seem to be improvements over the Lambda CDM model predictions for cosmic structure formation. Because the scalar interaction in this model has negligible effect on laboratory physics and the classical cosmological tests, it offers an observationally attractive example of cosmology with complicated physics in the dark sector, notably a large violation of the weak equivalence principle.

description: Most adults are married, plan for retirement with their spouse, and pool assets to a significant degree. How then are each individual’s risk preferences combined in choosing the portfolio that represents for them the optimal tradeoff between risk and return? There are two pathways through which marriage could amplify the expression of individual risk preferences at the household level. First, if people choose spouses in part based on their appetite for risk, or another characteristic correlated with risk tolerance, then there could be polarization of household level risk preferences towards extremes. Second, spouses may strategically adjust their decisions to compensate for their spouse’s preferences. Is an only mildly risk averse person that is married to someone that is nearly risk neutral motivated to choose a very low risk low return asset allocation to compensate for their spouse’s risky behavior? In this paper we explore the influence of marriage on the expression of individual risk preferences by examining both sorting in the marriage market and strategic decision making. Using data from the Health and Retirement Survey we find a positive correlation between the risk preferences of spouses. We also develop a theoretical model that determines optimal investment allocations conditional on own and spousal risk tolerance. Optimal asset allocations from this model are compared to a naïve model that only includes own risk tolerance. In related research the explanatory power of the naïve and spousal models are evaluated for prediction ability based on actual asset allocation decisions for couples using the HRS data.

description: Jüngere Entwicklungen in der Sexrobotik haben in den letzten Dekaden Kontroversen über die technologische und mediale Vermittlung sexueller Praxen und soziosexueller Beziehungen ausgelöst. Diese Debatten sind geprägt von normativen Positionen und utopischen oder dystopischen Wirkungsbehauptungen. Der Artikel sondiert den aktuellen Stand von Robotik und Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) in diesen Kontexten und skizziert zentrale Positionen früherer Debatten. Im Gegensatz zu technizistischen und normativen Verkürzungen betont er Ambivalenzen in der Nutzung von und den Erwartungen an Sexrobotik innerhalb asymmetrischer Geschlechterverhältnisse. Sexrobotik zeigt Tendenzen, gegebene Sozialverhältnisse und Geschlechterbinaritäten dynamisch zu reproduzieren, aber auch Potenziale, diese herausfordern. Die konkreten Auswirkungen der Technologie hängen von ihrer Nutzung innerhalb widersprüchlicher gesellschaftlicher Verhältnisse und den fortlaufenden Kämpfen um deren Bewahrung oder Veränderung ab.

description: The NuTeV experiment at Fermilab has obtained a unique high statistics sample of neutrino and anti-neutrino interactions using its high-energy sign-selected beam. We present a measurement of the differential cross section for charged-current neutrino and anti-neutrino scattering from iron. Structure functions, F_2(x,Q^2) and xF_3(x,Q^2), are determined by fitting the inelasticity, y, dependence of the cross sections. This measurement has significantly improved systematic precision as a consequence of more precise understanding of hadron and muon energy scales.

description: Im Intro zur Channel 4-Fernsehserie „Humans“ (2015-2018) preist ein Voice-Over eine Gynoid mit den Worten an: „Dieses mechanische Hausmädchen kann mehr als nur das Frühstück ans Bett bringen“. Intro und Anfang der Serie aktivieren, so das Argument dieses Artikels, misogyne Tendenzen in der KI-Imagination, um diese sichtbar zu machen und infrage zu stellen. „Humans“ verdeutlicht, wie sexistische und, weniger prominent, rassistische Machtstrukturen in KI-Design fortgeschrieben und damit verstetigt werden. Die Serie wendet sich insbesondere der Wechselwirkung zwischen der Objektivierung von Frauen und der Feminisierung von Objekten zu.

Low Temperature Specific Heat of some Quantum Mean Field glassy phases
Creators: name: Schehr, Gregory
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate analytically the low temperature behavior of the specific heat $C_v(T)$ for a large class of quantum disordered models within Mean Field approximation. This includes the vibrational modes of a lattice pinned by impurity disorder in the quantum regime, the quantum spherical $p$-spin-glass and a quantum Heisenberg spin glass. We exhibit a general mechanism, common to all these models, arising from the so-called marginality condition, responsible for the cancellation of the linear and quadratic contributions in $T$ in the specific heat. We thus find for all these models the Mean Field result $C_v(T) \propto T^3$.

A General Machine Learning Framework for Survival Analysis

description: The modeling of time-to-event data, also known as survival analysis, requires specialized methods that can deal with censoring and truncation, time-varying features and effects, and that extend to settings with multiple competing events. However, many machine learning methods for survival analysis only consider the standard setting with right-censored data and proportional hazards assumption. The methods that do provide extensions usually address at most a subset of these challenges and often require specialized software that can not be integrated into standard machine learning workflows directly. In this work, we present a very general machine learning framework for time-to-event analysis that uses a data augmentation strategy to reduce complex survival tasks to standard Poisson regression tasks. This reformulation is based on well developed statistical theory. With the proposed approach, any algorithm that can optimize a Poisson (log-)likelihood, such as gradient boosted trees, deep neural networks, model-based boosting and many more can be used in the context of time-to-event analysis. The proposed technique does not require any assumptions with respect to the distribution of event times or the functional shapes of feature and interaction effects. Based on the proposed framework we develop new methods that are competitive with specialized state of the art approaches in terms of accuracy, and versatility, but with comparatively small investments of programming effort or requirements for specialized methodological know-how.

Acoustic-phonon-mediated superconductivity in Bernal bilayer graphene

description: We present a systematic theory of acoustic-phonon-mediated superconductivity, which incorporates Coulomb repulsion, explaining the recent experiment in Bernal bilayer graphene under a large displacement field. The acoustic-phonon mechanism predicts that $s$-wave spin-singlet and $f$-wave spin-triplet pairings are degenerate and dominant. Assuming a spin-polarized valley-unpolarized normal state, we obtain $f$-wave spin-triplet superconductivity with a $T_c\sim 20$ mK near $n_e=-0.6\times 10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$ for hole doping, in approximate agreement with the experiment. We further predict the existence of superconductivity for larger doping in both electron-doped and hole-doped regimes. Our results indicate that the observed spin-triplet superconductivity in Bernal bilayer graphene arises from acoustic phonons.

description: O trabalho discute os principais argumentos contrários a expansão da produção de cana-de-açúcar no país, sobretudo para produção de etanol. Mais especificamente, um dos obstáculos à expansão da produção desta commodity diz respeito ao seu potencial impacto sobre o preço da terra e, conseqüentemente, sobre os preços dos alimentos. Os defensores deste ponto de vista argumentam que a pressão sobre os preços da terra seria inevitavelmente repassada para o preço dos alimentos, prejudicando, sobretudo, os mais pobres. No trabalho analisa-se 26 anos de produção de cana-de-açúcar, preço da terra e preços dos alimentos, em dados semestrais, por meio de abordagem VAR. Nossos resultados sugerem que não existe relação de causalidade no sentido de Granger entre produção de cana-de-açúcar e preço de alimentos. Ademais, conclui-se que é a produção que é influenciada pelo preço da terra, e não o contrário.------------------------------------------This work discusses the main contrary arguments to expansion of the sugar cane production in Brazil, especially for ethanol production. More specifically, one obstacles to production expansion refers to its potential impact on the land price and, consequently, on the foods prices. The defenders of this point of view argue that increase on the land prices impacts foods price, harming, especially, poor people. This work analyzes series of 26 years of sugar cane production, land price and foods prices, by means of VAR methodology. Our results suggest that sugar cane does not Granger cause foods prices. Furthermore, concludes that it is the sugar cane production that is influenced by the land price, and not the contrary.
Quantum computational advantage with string order parameters of 1D symmetry-protected topological order

description: Nonlocal games with advantageous quantum strategies give arguably the most fundamental demonstration of the power of quantum resources over their classical counterparts. Recently, certain multiplayer generalizations of nonlocal games have been used to prove unconditional separations between small computational complexity classes of shallow-depth circuits. Here, we show advantageous strategies for these nonlocal games for generic ground states of one-dimensional symmetry-protected topological orders (SPTOs), when a discrete invariant of a SPTO known as a twist phase is nontrivial and -1. Our construction demonstrates that sufficiently large string order parameters of such SPTOs are indicative of globally constrained correlations useful for the unconditional computational separation.
