description: Let $G$ be an infinite-dimensional real classical group containing the complete unitary group (or complete orthogonal group) as a subgroup. Then $G$ generates a category of double cosets (train) and any unitary representation of $G$ can be canonically extended to the train. We prove a technical lemma about the complete group $GL$ of infinite $p$-adic matrices with integer coefficients, this lemma implies that the phenomenon of automatic extension of unitary representations to trains is valid for infinite-dimensional $p$-adic groups.

description: Irish Potato is an important crop for food and income generation in Uganda. Indeed, the potato is recognized in the 2010/11- 2014/15 Development Strategy and Investment Plan (DSIP) as a strategic commodity with the potential to make a remarkable contribution both to increasing rural incomes and livelihoods and to improving food and nutrition security. Despite its potential, intensification levels remain very low in the potato sub-sector, translating into a very low yield. Farmers increase production by expanding the land used to grow potatoes, not by intensifying their activity. This study identified challenges and investment opportunities at various points along the potato value chain in Western Uganda (where more than 80% of the country’s potatoes are produced). The study adopted a value chain/multi-stage sampling method involving farmer groups, traders, processors, agro-input dealers, and seed potato multipliers. The value chain survey covered 51 farmer groups randomly selected from the sub-counties in which the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) has conducted a socio-economic survey. During the survey, 30 traders and 30 processors (identified by farmers as key potato buyers in the community) were randomly selected. To examine access to inputs, a sample of 30 agro-input dealers and 30 seed multipliers (also identified by farmers as suppliers of inputs) were randomly selected. Overall, 120 key informant interviews and 51 focus group discussions were conducted. The study thus characterizes the main players in the potato value chain in Western Uganda.

description: Local kinetic equilibration is a prerequisite for hydrodynamics to be valid. Here it is described through a nonlinear diffusion equation for finite systems of fermions and bosons. The model is solved exactly for constant transport coefficients in both cases. It has the proper Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein equilibrium limits and can replace the relaxation-time approximation (RTA). The microscopic transport coefficients are determined through the macroscopic variables temperature and local equilibration time. Applications to the transverse energy of quarks and gluons in the initial stages of central relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and to bosonic and fermionic atoms at low energies appropriate for cold quantum gases are discussed.

A Complete Basis for Power Suppressed Collinear-Ultrasoft Operators

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We construct operators that describe power corrections in mixed collinear-ultrasoft processes in QCD. We treat the ultrasoft-collinear Lagrangian to O(lambda^2), and heavy-to-light currents involving collinear quarks to O(λ) including new three body currents. A complete gauge invariant basis is derived which has a full reduction in Dirac structures and is valid for matching at any order in alpha_s. The full set of reparameterization invariance (RPI) constraints are included, and are found to restrict the number of parameters appearing in Wilson coefficients and rule out some classes of operators. The QCD ultrasoft-collinear Lagrangian has two O(lambda^2) operators in its gauge invariant form. For the O(lambda) heavy-to-light currents there are (4,4,14,14,21) subleading (scalar, pseudo-scalar, vector, axial-vector, tensor) currents, where (1,1,4,4,7) have coefficients that are not determined by RPI. In a frame where v_perp=0 and n.v =1 the total number of currents reduces to (2,2,8,8,13), but the number of undetermined coefficients is the same. The role of these operators and universality of jet functions in the factorization theorem for heavy-to-light form factors is discussed.

description: Sakharov's 1967 notion of ``induced gravity'' is currently enjoying a significant resurgence. The basic idea, originally presented in a very brief 3-page paper with a total of 4 formulas, is that gravity is not ``fundamental'' in the sense of particle physics. Instead it was argued that gravity (general relativity) emerges from quantum field theory in roughly the same sense that hydrodynamics or continuum elasticity theory emerges from molecular physics. In this article I will translate the key ideas into modern language, and explain the various versions of Sakharov's idea currently on the market.

description: This paper highlights the quality concerns of inorganic fertilizers on the Ugandan market. The findings reported are based on 170 samples (in 50 kg bags and small 1-2 kg packs) of the commonly used fertilizers on the Ugandan market i.e. Urea, NPK, DAP, MOP and CAN purchased and subjected to a laboratory analysis. Procedures followed in the purchasing of fertilizer samples mimicked a farmer purchasing fertilizers randomly from any input dealer country wide. Analytical results from the fertilizer samples revealed low quality fertilizers with moisture content above acceptable limits of 0.5- 1.5 percent; and untruthfulness in both weight and nutrient content. In some instances, the nutrient content quoted on the labels did not match with the analytical content. This has serious consequences because fertilizer recommendations are based on the nutrient content. If the nutrients are not of the right quality, then the end-user (a farmer) will not attain the intended crop response to fertilizer application. The study reveals that re-packaging fertiliser into small quantities is justifiable to meet the requirements of smallholder farmers, but leads to loss of nutrients (especially nitrogen); and also aggravates the high moisture content problem. Results reveal gaps in the current regulatory system; therefore there is an urgent need for government to approve and operationalize the fertilizer policy, regulations and strategy.

description: High-resolution, near-infrared spectra will be the primary tool for finding and characterizing Earth-like planets around low-mass stars. Yet, the properties of exoplanets can not be precisely determined without accurate and precise measurements of the host star. Spectra obtained with the Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrometer (IGRINS) simultaneously provide diagnostics for most stellar parameters, but the first step in any analysis is the determination of the effective temperature. Here we report the calibration of high-resolution H-band spectra to accurately determine effective temperature for stars between 4000-3000 K ($\sim$K8--M5) using absorption line depths of Fe I, OH, and Al I. The field star sample used here contains 254 K and M stars with temperatures derived using BT-Settl synthetic spectra. We use 106 stars with precise temperatures in the literature to calibrate our method with typical errors of about 140 K, and systematic uncertainties less than $\sim$120 K. For the broadest applicability, we present T$_{\rm eff}$--line-depth-ratio relationships, which we test on 12 members of the TW Hydrae Association and at spectral resolving powers between $\sim$10,000--120,000. These ratios offer a simple but accurate measure of effective temperature in cool stars that is distance and reddening independent.

description: The achievement of fine equiaxed β grain with conventional intragranular (α-Ti+β-Ti) microstructure in additive manufacturing titanium alloy remains a big challenge. We conquer this challenge by synergistically controlling β-grains during both solidification and subsequent thermal-cycles of laser directed energy deposition (DED), and a solution + quenching heat-treatment. Both the strength and plasticity of heat-treated Ti6Al4V3Ni0.05B are superior to those reported new DED titanium alloy and comparable to that of DED Ti6Al4V, because of the fine-equiaxed β-grains with intragranular (α-Ti+β-Ti) microstructure. These findings provide new insight into the grain structure control and the composition design of AM titanium alloy. The synergetic control of β-grain during both solidification and subsequent thermal-cycling is essential for achieving fully-equiaxed fine β-grains in additively manufactured titanium alloys.

description: Background: Lermoyez syndrome (LS) is a rare auditory disorder, the details of LS remain unclear. Objectives: To investigate the grades of endolymphatic hydrops (ELH) and clinical characteristics of clinically diagnosed LS. Material and methods: Nine patients with clinically diagnosed LS were included. three-dimensional-real-infra red imaging characteristics were analyzed. ELH grades and detailed clinical characteristics were evaluated. Results: The group consisted of two women and seven men with an age at presentation of 48.4 ± 10.9 (28–61) years, an onset age of 40.9 ± 12.0 (23–58) years, and a disease duration of 7.6 ± 7.5 years. Of the nine patients, ELH was observed in 100% of the patients on the clinically affected side. In addition, 22.2% of vestibular ELH and 77.8% of cochlear ELH were classified as mild or moderate in grade. Conclusions and significance: The patients with LS had Meniere’s triad, fluctuation of hearing that occurred in a reverse relationship to that of the vertiginous attack, and vestibular and cochlear ELH, which may suggest that LS is a variant of MD. However, the sex difference and milder cochlear ELH in LS compared with those in typical MD may indicate an underlying intrinsic difference in the mechanism of LS.

description: Conventional production of hybrid rice seeds is based on sowing and transplanting parental lines separately (‘separate seeding and transplanting’, SST). To decrease the labour inputs of field management, a labour-saving model was implemented under a strategy of directly seeding the two parents as a mixture (‘mixed direct seeding’, MDS) to produce hybrid seeds. The strategy utilized a ‘yellow-hull/red-hull’ pair, ensuring that the female parent could be easily separated from the male parent after mixed harvesting. To assess the effects of MDS on seed production, two pairs, P88S/G-4 and Y58S/G-15, were tested and compared with those under SST at the same female/male seed ratio of 5:1 in 2015 and 2016. The parental lines for two pairs flowered synchronously, and the male sterile lines presented a high total stigma exertion rate in SST that ranged from 75.82% to 93.27%. At maturity, the hybrid seeds generated on seed parents were harvested together with those from pollen parents, and later, the hybrids were successfully colour sorted at a correctness rate of more than 99.90% on a machine. In MDS, the heading date of tested lines was advanced by 2~6 days. The outcrossing rate was improved by 8.59% and 7.61%, and the total panicle number increased by 4.78% and 5.80%, respectively. Ultimately, the actual yield in MDS significantly exceeded that in SST by 12.56% for P88S/G-4 and 8.95% for Y58S/G-15. This model succeeded in recycling hybrid seeds via color sorting and seems promising for decreasing labour inputs in hybrid seed production.

description: Uganda’s progress towards achieving inclusive sustainable growth is curtailed by large deficits in infrastructure stock, particularly in the transport and energy sectors. This study explores options for financing the scaling up of infrastructure development in Uganda. The methodological approach involved a review of literature and a survey of key stakeholders whose views guided the analysis. Findings point to the opportunities and risks of scaling up domestic resource mobilization, improving efficiencies in public investments, leveraging new sources of external development financing, options in private financing and the potential role of the natural resource sectors as summarized below. Improving domestic revenue mobilisation is the primary available option for financing infrastructure development in Uganda. However, efforts in this area have been hampered by, among others, weaknesses in the legal and regulatory frameworks; the narrow tax base; a large informal sector; tax exemptions; and institutional weaknesses. The study highlights two interventions that can support improved domestic resource mobilization efforts to support infrastructure development: leveraging the contribution of non-tax revenues (NTR) and curtailment of capital flight. With respect to enhancing the contributions of NTR, the study proposes that collection of NTR by self-accounting bodies and spending it at the source should be reviewed because the practice undermines efforts to improve revenue mobilization. Innovative ways of controlling capital flight involve reviewing government public procurements and local content provisions. The study proposes reforms to strengthen the capacity of the local private sector and to develop policy and regulatory frameworks to deepen local content in government procurement.

description: Comprehensive measurements of dc and ac susceptibility, dc resistance, magnetoresistance, Hall resistivity, and microwave absorption and dispersion in fields up to 8 T have been carried out on RuSr_2GdCu_2O_8 with the aim to establish the properties of RuO_2 and CuO_2 planes. At ~130 K, where the magnetic order develops in the RuO_2 planes, one observes a change in the slope of dc resistance, change in the sign of magnetoresistance, and the appearance of an extraordinary Hall effect. These features indicate that the RuO_2 planes are conducting. A detailed analysis of the ac susceptibility and microwave data on both, ceramic and powder samples show that the penetration depth remains frequency dependent and larger than the London penetration depth even at low temperatures. We conclude that the conductivity in the RuO_2 planes remains normal even when superconducting order is developed in the CuO_2 planes below \~45 K. Thus, experimental evidence is provided in support of theoretical models which base the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetic order on decoupled CuO_2 and RuO_2 planes.

description: The study, aimed at establishing whether the protection given to the list of sensitive products since 2005: has increased the EAC regional capacity to produce, reduced the importation of the same products from the rest of the world, increased intra-EAC trade, and improved welfare. Results suggest that although intra-EAC trade increased since 2005, the imports of the same products from outside the region even increased more creating a huge negative trade balance. This suggests that there is deficiency in regional capacity to produce these products within the bloc, therefore effective protection was not adequately achieved by the high tariffs imposed on the sensitive list of products.

description: Twin-Field quantum key distribution (TF-QKD) can beat the linear bound of repeaterless QKD systems. After the proposal of the original protocol, multiple papers have extended the protocol to prove its security. However, these works are limited to the case where the two channels have equal amount of loss (i.e. are symmetric). In a practical network setting, it is very likely that the channels are asymmetric due to e.g. geographical locations. In this paper we extend the "simple TF-QKD" protocol to the scenario with asymmetric channels. We show that by simply adjusting the two signal states of the two users (and not the decoy states) they can effectively compensate for channel asymmetry and consistently obtain an order of magnitude higher key rate than previous symmetric protocol. It also can provide 2-3 times higher key rate than the strategy of deliberately adding fibre to the shorter channel until channels have equal loss (and is more convenient as users only need to optimize their laser intensities and do not need to physically modify the channels). We also perform simulation for a practical case with three decoy states and finite data size, and show that our method works well and has a clear advantage over prior art methods with realistic parameters.

description: Avenues for marketing rice in three districts of Butaleja, Tororo, and Bugiri in Eastern Uganda are studied based on data collected from a community and market survey. Survey results reveal that majority of farmers sell their rice to traders and middlemen, followed by processors and individual consumers. Consistently, relatively high prices are earned when rice marketing is undertaken in groups across all the three districts, and premium prices are realised from improved rice varieties like WITA9 grown by only 26 percent of the farmers. This demonstrates proof that there are income benefits from economies of scale in rice marketing that accrue to farmers that opt to market their rice as a group. However, the majority (over 79%) of farmers still operate as individuals. The study establishes that there are overriding considerations at community level (like urgent need to offset personal needs, lack of information, and limited group storage infrastructure) that weaken farmer groups for bulk marketing, hence sending farmers to operate as individuals. This leads to loss of farm income, and keeps farmers perpetually in poverty; and makes the case stronger to expedite the implementation of government projects such as the “produce storage facilities development project”, spelt out in the Second National Development Plan (NDP II) in the predominately rice growing Eastern Uganda. The findings further strengthen the case for reviving farmers’ cooperative societies in the country.

description: This paper provides a detailed investigation of using the Kullback-Leibler (KL) Divergence as a way to compare and analyse game-levels, and hence to use the measure as the objective function of an evolutionary algorithm to evolve new levels. We describe the benefits of its asymmetry for level analysis and demonstrate how (not surprisingly) the quality of the results depends on the features used. Here we use tile-patterns of various sizes as features. When using the measure for evolution-based level generation, we demonstrate that the choice of variation operator is critical in order to provide an efficient search process, and introduce a novel convolutional mutation operator to facilitate this. We compare the results with alternative generators, including evolving in the latent space of generative adversarial networks, and Wave Function Collapse. The results clearly show the proposed method to provide competitive performance, providing reasonable quality results with very fast training and reasonably fast generation.

description: SAXO+ is the name of the proposed second-stage adaptive optics module to increase the performance of the
SPHERE[1] instrument at the Very Large Telescope (Chile). This upgrade aims at improving the raw contrast
(up to 105, goal 106) close to the optical axis (at a separation of 0.2 arcseconds, with a goal of 0.1), enabling
the observation of fainter and redder targets. SAXO+ will be implemented on a mezzanine above the main
bench and it will be fed by an exchange mechanism deploying a pick-off mirror in order to preserve all the
functionalities of the original instrument. The wavefront sensing will be based on pyramid wavefront sensor in
the near-infrared. In order to define the main requirements for the second-stage module design, a few trade-offs
need to be carried out. We present in this paper an analytical approach, based on spatial PSD analysis, to study
some error terms affecting the SAXO+ system and to directly compute the AO residual phase screens. For this
purpose, a second-stage correction filter in the spatial frequency domain has been implemented in PAOLA, a
software tool for the analytical modeling of Adaptive Optics systems.

description: We compare the characteristics (including chemical composition), contexts and distributions of provenanced bronze arrowheads with a BE monogram. The results provide insights into the social organisation of archers during the Hellenistic period. We challenge some long-held assumptions about this arrowhead type. Considering iconographic, literary and archaeological evidence, we suggest these stamped arrowheads are linked to the campaigns of Antiochos VII Sidetes (138-129 BCE).

description: This brief explains the challenges limiting use of improved rice seed in three Eastern Uganda major rice growing districts. Insufficient supply of improved seed is a core constraint to intensification in rice production. There are only four rice seed producers in the three study districts, which renders rice seed to be the hardest input to access by farmers compared to fertilizer, herbicides, and fungicides. Rice seed inaccessibility is further compounded by producers having contractual obligations with external seed companies. The volume of seed required by farmers exceeds the supply capabilities of the four seed producers, creating a gap in the rice seed supply chain. Furthermore, the seed producers rarely multiply the varieties grown by farmers, but rather those demanded by seed companies outside the region. The estimated seed supply gap is about 90 percent of what farmers would require. Therefore, in order to meet local farmer’s requirement for improved rice seed, at least 40 new seed production enterprises should be established and this is estimated to cost slightly over one billion Uganda shillings (US $ 300,000).
Classical and Quantum Kepler's Third Law of N-Body System

description: Inspired by amazing result obtained by Semay \cite{semay-1}, this study revisits generalised Kepler's third law of an n-body system from the perspective of dimension analysis. To be compatible with Semay's quantum n-body result, this letter reports a conjecture which had not be included in author's early publication \cite{sun2018} but formulated in the author's research memo. The new conjecture for quantum N-body system is proposed as follows: $T_q|E_q|^{3/2}=\fracπ{\sqrt{2}} G\left[\frac{\left(\sum_{i=1}^N\sum_{j=i+1}^Nm_im_j\right)^3}{\sum_{k=1}^N m_k}\right]^{1/2}$. This formulae is, of course, consistent with the Kepler's third law of 2-body system, and exact same as Semay's quantum result for identical bodies.

description: Stellar masses in future James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) deep blank-fields will be mainly derived fitting the spectral energy distribution with theoretical galaxy templates. We investigate the uncertainties and biases of the stellar masses derived by using the LePhare code for spectral energy distribution fitting and the Yggdrasil theoretical templates. We consider a sample of mock galaxies at z$=$7-10 with mock JWST observations with S/N$_{F150W}\geqslant$ 10. Our goal is to provide a list of statistical stellar mass corrections to include on the stellar mass derivation for different output galaxy properties and JWST filter combinations to correct for template degeneracies. Median statistical stellar mass corrections vary from -0.83 dex to 0.87 dex, while 25$\%$ (75$\%$) quartiles range from -0.83 dex (-0.67 dex) to 0.51 dex (0.88 dex), depending on filter combinations and galaxy models. The most challenging cases are galaxies with nebular emission lines, especially the ones that are wrongly identified as galaxies without, relative dust-free galaxies and galaxies with small metallicities (i.e. Z$=1/50Z_{\odot}$). The stellar mass estimation of galaxies correctly identified without emission lines is generally fine, except at z$=$10 when considering only the 8 NIRCam bands, which make the MIRI bands very valuable. We have tested our stellar mass corrections using the public JAGUAR galaxy catalogue, deriving that the average discrepancy in the recovered stellar mass distribution decreases by 20-50$\%$ at z$>$7 after the correction. We found that without the stellar-mass corrections the number of low-mass galaxies (M$^{*}<10^{7}M_{\odot}$) is overestimated, which can potentially lead to systematic errors in the calculation of the galaxy stellar mass function faint-end slope at high z.

description: For $1 < r \le 2$, we study the set of monomial convergence for spaces of holomorphic functions over $\ell_r$. For $ H_b(\ell_r)$, the space of entire functions of bounded type in $\ell_r$, we prove that $\mbox{mon} H_b(\ell_r)$ is exactly the Marcinkiewicz sequence space $m_{Ψ_r}$ where the symbol $Ψ_r$ is given by $Ψ_r(n) := \log(n + 1)^{1 - \frac{1}{r}}$ for $n \in \mathbb N_0$. For the space of $m$-homogeneous polynomials on $\ell_r$, we prove that the set of monomial convergence $\mbox{mon} \mathcal P (^m \ell_r)$ contains the sequence space $\ell_{q}$ where $q=(mr')'$. Moreover, we show that for any $q\leq s

Simultaneity and generalized connections in general relativity
Creators: name: Minguzzi, E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Stationary extended frames in general relativity are considered. The requirement of stationarity allows to treat the spacetime as a principal fiber bundle over the one-dimensional group of time translations. Over this bundle a connection form establishes the simultaneity between neighboring events accordingly with the Einstein synchronization convention. The mathematics involved is that of gauge theories where a gauge choice is interpreted as a global simultaneity convention. Then simultaneity in non-stationary frames is investigated: it turns to be described by a gauge theory in a fiber bundle without structure group, the curvature being given by the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket of the connection. The Bianchi identity of this gauge theory is a differential relation between the vorticity field and the acceleration field. In order for the simultaneity connection to be principal, a necessary and sufficient condition on the 4-velocity of the observers is given.

Assessment of agricultural land fund in the Czech Republic, importance and future

Subjects: subject: Land Economics/Use
subject: Production Economics

subject: land value
subject: production functions

description: Assessment of land depends on the production function of soil and additional connections given by environmental requirements, by the evaluation of public goods or by the requirements for formation a fair tax policy and even by the interests of landowners. Analysis of coherences during the soil appraisal shows a relatively strong dependence on the development of year-by-year yields and cost including subsidy policy, which is strongly reflected in the grasslands. Development of subsidies does not basically influence a long- term return and costs ratio for the production on arable land. The requirements for formation of prices are given due to the need for stability of the mutual relations between the quality of soil and climatic conditions, which manifests itself mainly in land consolidation or the categorization, useful for example for the determination of LFA. The comprehensive solution provides a system of land evaluation by cost-revenue relationships, which includes evaluation of environmental context on the base of the assessment of physical characteristics of soil and economic contexts in BPEJ categorization. The development of value system relations according to the proposed annual gross rental effects (HRRE) shows a relatively stable assessment of land fund for arable land. The adjusted system of land value permits preferably to express a pointed value of land, which corresponds to the trend of a points system of VÚMOP. The actual current rating BPEJ is proposed to make in dependence on the level of market prices to a one point. Due to the different trends in the market prices of arable land and grassland is proposed to introduce a separate assessment of arable land and grassland.

description: Modern methods of quantitative risk analysis, specifically value-at-risk and expected shortfall approach, provide comprehensive and coherent risk evaluation throughout entire distribution of outcomes and can take agricultural business from the realm of uncertainty to specific, quantified risks. Monte Carlo simulation with autocorrelation of standard deviation shows the best results in risk modeling and is used for this research. The analysis showed that production risk is systemic within climatic regions of Ukraine with coefficients of correlation ranging from 0.25 to 0.85. Yield correlation among crops in several oblasts is low to negative, creating opportunities for diversification. However, positive price-yield correlation is dominant for agricultural products in Ukraine due to high dependency on global prices and a large share of export. It is hypothesized that price-yield correlation is directly proportional to the share of country’s international trade in that agricultural product.
