description: Peanut is a major source of income for many farmers in Senegal. However, this sector faces several problems in all the segments of the value chain such as yield decline and serious market disturbances. Agricultural production has to be increased to address these issues. This can be done by reinforcing the connectivity of farmers. This study aims to evaluate connectivity as a catalyst for agricultural productivity. An appropriate measure of connectivity integrating various dimensions is computed and an estimate of multilevel mixed-effects linear regression shows its positive and meaningful effect on the output. Results show that Information and Communication Technologies should be promoted and social networks should be reinforced in agricultural activities. One option is to help Rural Producer Organizations better develop and to be a gateway as community access points.

We find $|n_q/n_γ| \lesssim 10^{-43}$, four orders of magnitude more stringent than previous limits. We also work out the bounds on $n_q$ in models with a photon mass, that allows to have a charge density without large-scale electric fields.

description: Abstract: Autophagy is an important cellular degradation pathway with a central role in metabolism as well as basic quality control, two processes inextricably linked to ageing. A decrease in autophagy is associated with increasing age, yet it is unknown if this is causal in the ageing process, and whether autophagy restoration can counteract these ageing effects. Here we demonstrate that systemic autophagy inhibition induces the premature acquisition of age-associated phenotypes and pathologies in mammals. Remarkably, autophagy restoration provides a near complete recovery of morbidity and a significant extension of lifespan; however, at the molecular level this rescue appears incomplete. Importantly autophagy-restored mice still succumb earlier due to an increase in spontaneous tumour formation. Thus, our data suggest that chronic autophagy inhibition confers an irreversible increase in cancer risk and uncovers a biphasic role of autophagy in cancer development being both tumour suppressive and oncogenic, sequentially.
Quantum versus classical entanglement: eliminating the issue of quantum nonlocality
Creators: name: Khrennikov, Andrei

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We analyze interrelation of quantum and classical entanglement. The latter notion is widely used in classical optic simulation of some quantum-like features of light. We criticize the common interpretation that "quantum nonlocality" is the basic factor differing quantum and classical realizations of entanglement. Instead, we point to the breakthrough Grangier et al. experiment on coincidence detection which was done in 1986 and played the crucial role in rejection of (semi-)classical field models in favor of quantum mechanics. Classical entanglement sources produce light beams with the coefficient of second order coherence $g^{(2)}(0) \geq 1.$ This feature of classical entanglement is obscured by using intensities of signals in different channels, instead of counting clicks of photo-detectors. Interplay between intensity and clicks counting is not just a technicality. We elevate this issue to the high foundational level.

Color halo scenario of charmonium-like hybrids

description: The internal structures of $J^{PC}=1^{--}, (0,1,2)^{-+}$ charmonium-like hybrids are investigated under lattice QCD in the quenched approximation. We define the Bethe-Salpeter wave function $Φ_n(r)$ in the Coulomb gauge as the matrix element of a spatially extended hybrid-like operator $\bar{c}{c}g$ between the vacuum and $n$-th state for each $J^{PC}$ with $r$ being the spatial separation between a localized $\bar{c}c$ component and the chromomagnetic strength tensor. These wave functions exhibit some similarities for states with the aforementioned different quantum numbers, and their $r$-behaviors (no node for the ground states and one node for the first excited states) imply that $r$ can be a meaningful dynamical variable for these states. Additionally, the mass splittings of the ground states and first excited states of charmonium-like hybrids in these channels are obtained for the first time to be approximately 1.2-1.4 GeV. These results do not support the flux-tube description of heavy-quarkonium-like hybrids in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. In contrast, a charmonium-like hybrid can be viewed as a "color halo" charmonium for which a relatively localized color octet $\bar{c}c$ is surrounded by gluonic degrees of freedom, which can readily decay into a charmonium state along with one or more light hadrons. The color halo picture is compatible with the decay properties of $Y(4260)$ and suggests LHCb and BelleII to search for $(0,1,2)^{-+}$ charmonium-like hybrids in $χ_{c0,1,2}η$ and $J/ψω(ϕ)$ final states.

description: The Nigeria Agriculture Promotion Policy (APP) was implemented between 2016 and 2020 with the goal of increasing agricultural productivity and income for smallholder farmers. This study evaluated the impact of the APP on the productivity of smallholder oil palm farmers in Edo State. A total of 165 oil palm farmers from 11 local government areas (LGAs) in three (3) senatorial districts in Edo State were surveyed using a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The findings of the study indicate that the APP was effective in improving the productivity of oil palm farmers in terms of technology adoption and yield/output performance. Additionally, the study found that the policy increased the income of smallholder oil palm farmers by 56.9% from NGN383,314.39 in 2015 to NGN597,392.17 in 2022. The study identified some limitations of the APP, such as the lack of regular training or skill development programs for farmers and the limited access to loan facilities to acquire more efficient oil palm production kits and machinery. The findings of this study have important implications for the future development of agricultural policies in Nigeria. The APP has shown to be an effective policy in improving the productivity of smallholder oil palm farmers.

description: The study of both neutral and ionized gas in young radio sources is providing key information on the effect the radio plasma has on the ISM of these objects. We present results obtained for the compact radio sources PKS1549-79, 4C12.50 and PKS1814-63 and for the intermediate-size radio galaxy 3C459. At least in the first two, low ionisation optical emission lines and HI absorption appear to be associated with the extended, but relatively quiescent, dusty cocoon surrounding the nucleus. The [OIII] lines are, on the other hand, mostly associated with the region of interaction between the radio plasma and the ISM, indicating a fast outflow from the canter. A case of fast outflow (up to ~1000 km/s) is also observed in HI in the radio source 4C12.50. As the radio source evolves, any obscuring material along the radio axis is swept aside until, eventually, cavities (of the same kind as observed e.g. in Cygnus A) are hollowed out on either side of the nucleus. We may witness this phase in the evolution of a radio source in the radio galaxy 3C459.

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description:             Language evolves in fascinating ways, influenced by many factors both inside and outside of the language itself. It's not a fixed system; it constantly shifts, adapting to new social, cultural, cognitive, and environmental pressures. Among the most important forces driving this change are phonological shifts and lexical borrowing. These processes are not just key to how languages develop, but they also offer valuable insights into the societies and cultures that speak them. This article looks at how both phonological changes and the borrowing of words from other languages have shaped language over time, and how they continue to influence human communication today.

Key words: Language evolution, phonological shifts, lexical borrowing, historical linguistics, language change, sociolinguistics, sound change

description: First principles calculations of magnetic and electronic properties of VSe2 describing the transition between two structural phases(H,T) were performed. Results of the calculations evidence rather low energy barrier ( 0.60 eV for monolayer) for transition betweenthe phases. The energy required for the deviation of Se atom or whole layer of selenium atoms on a small angle up to 10 degrees from initial positions is also rather low, 0.32 and 0.19 eV/Se, respectively. The changes in band structure of VSe2 caused by these motions of Se atoms should be taken into account for analysis of the experimental data. Simulations of the strain effects suggest that the experimentally observed T phase of VSe2 monolayer is the ground state due a substrate-induced strain. Calculations of the difference in total energies of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic configurations evidence that the ferromagnetic configuration is the ground state of the system for all stable and intermediate atomic structures. Calculated phonon dispersions suggest visible influence of magnetic configurations on vibrational properties.

description: We present new optical images ($B$, $V$, and H$α$) of the archetypical starburst/superwind galaxy M82 obtained with the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope to reveal new detailed structures of the superwind-driven nebula and the high-latitude dark lanes. The emission-line nebula is decomposed into (1) a ridge-dominated component comprising numerous filament/loop sub-structures whose overall morphology appears as a pair of narrow cylinders, and (2) a diffuse component extended over much wider opening angle from the nucleus. We suggest that these two components have different origins. The ridge-dominated component appears as a pair of cylinders rather than a pair of cones. Since this morphological property is similar to that of hot plasma probed by soft X-ray, this component seems to surround the hot plasma. On the other hand, the diffuse component may arise from dust grains which scatter stellar light from the galaxy. Since inner region of this component is seen over the prominent ^^ ^^ X"-shaped dark lanes streaming out from the nuclear region and they can be reproduced as a conical distribution of dust grains, there seems to be a dusty cold outflow as well as the hot one probed by soft X-ray and shock-excited optical emission lines. If this is the case, the presence of such high-latitude dust grains implies that neutral gaseous matter is also blown out during the course of the superwind activity.

description: The objective of this paper is to analyze the determinants of Cognac brandy exports. After describing the building of a unique database concerning Cognac shipments in volume and value terms to almost 120 destinations between 1967 and 2013, we use this database to construct descriptive statistics concerning the evolution of Cognac exports during nearly half a century. This database points out a decrease in the extensive margin of trade while the intensive margin has more than doubled in 46 years in volume. We also construct a database on protectionism affecting the worldwide exports of Cognac: it reveals the proliferation of prohibitions and of high specific tariffs, resulting in a highly taxed product throughout the world. We analyze the determinants of Cognac exports and base our empirical strategy on a two-step procedure with first a linear probability model to estimate the extensive margin, second Ordinary Least Squares to estimate the intensive margin of trade. Beyond results in line with the gravity literature, our most interesting conclusions are: (i) in many estimations, the extensive (respectively intensive) margin of trade is positively (respectively negatively) correlated with an appreciation of the Euro; (ii) like other luxury products, the elasticity of exports of Cognac to distance is negative, significant and relatively small while the elasticity to GDP is positive, significant and relatively large; (iii) all covariates have the expected impact on exports of Cognac except average custom duty on the intensive margin of trade. We discuss this last result and offer two potential explanations, a Veblen effect and an endogeneity of custom duty.

description: We study the phase-space structure of a dark-matter halo formed in a high resolution simulation of a Lambda CDM cosmology. Our goal is to quantify how much substructure is left over from the inhomogeneous growth of the halo, and how it may affect the signal in experiments aimed at detecting the dark matter particles directly. If we focus on the equivalent of ``Solar vicinity'', we find that the dark-matter is smoothly distributed in space. The probability of detecting particles bound within dense lumps of individual mass less than 10^7 M_\sun h^{-1} is small, less than 10^{-2}. The velocity ellipsoid in the Solar neighbourhood deviates only slightly from a multivariate Gaussian, and can be thought of as a superposition of thousands of kinematically cold streams. The motions of the most energetic particles are, however, strongly clumped and highly anisotropic. We conclude that experiments may safely assume a smooth multivariate Gaussian distribution to represent the kinematics of dark-matter particles in the Solar neighbourhood. Experiments sensitive to the direction of motion of the incident particles could exploit the expected anisotropy to learn about the recent merging history of our Galaxy.

description: Oxidation of SiC produces SiO2 while CO is released. A `reoxidation' step at lower temperatures is, however, necessary to produce high-quality SiO2. This step is believed to cleanse the oxide of residual C without further oxidation of the SiC substrate. We report first-principles calculations that describe the nucleation and growth of O-deficient C clusters in SiO2 under oxidation conditions, fed by the production of CO at the advancing interface, and their gradual dissolution by the supply of O under reoxidation conditions. We predict that both CO and CO2 are released during both steps.

description: Increasing the statistics of evolved massive stars in the Local Group enables investigating their evolution at different metallicities. During the late stages of stellar evolution, the physics of some phenomena, such as episodic and systematic mass loss, are not well constrained. For example, the physical properties of red supergiants (RSGs) in different metallicity regimes remain poorly understood. Thus, we initiated a systematic study of RSGs in dwarf irregular galaxies (dIrrs) in the Local Group. The target selection is based on 3.6 $μ$m and 4.5 $μ$m photometry from archival Spitzer Space Telescope images of nearby galaxies. We selected 46 targets in the dIrrs IC 10, IC 1613, Sextans B, and the Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte (WLM) galaxy that we observed with the GTC-OSIRIS and VLT-FORS2 instruments. We used several photometric techniques together with a spectral energy distribution analysis to derive the luminosities and effective temperatures of known and newly discovered RSGs. We identified and spectroscopically confirmed 4 new RSGs, 5 previously known RSGs, and 5 massive asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We added known objects from previous observations. In total, we present spectral classification and fundamental physical parameters of 25 late-type massive stars in the following dIrrs: Sextans A, Sextans B, IC 10, IC 1613, Pegasus, Phoenix, and WLM. This includes 17 RSGs and 8 AGB stars that have been identified here and previously. Based on our observational results and PARSEC evolutionary models, we draw the following conclusions: (i) a trend to higher minimum effective temperatures at lower metallicities and (ii) the maximum luminosity of RSGs appears to be constant at $log$($L/L$$_{\odot}$) $\approx$ $5.5$, independent of the metallicity of the host environment (up to $\mathrm{[Fe/H]}$ $\approx$ $-1$ dex).

description: We present WSRT observations of high sensitivity and resolution of the neutral hydrogen in the starburst dwarf galaxy NGC 1569. Assuming a distance of 2.2 Mpc, we find a total HI mass of 1.3 * 10^8 M_sun to be distributed in the form of a dense, clumpy ridge surrounded by more extended diffuse HI containing a few additional discrete features, such as a Western HI Arm and an HI bridge reaching out to a small counterrotating companion cloud. About 10% by mass of all HI in NGC 1569 is at unusually high velocities. Some of this HI may be associated with the mass outflow evident from H-alpha measurements, but some may also be associated with NGC 1569's HI companion and intervening HI bridge, in which case, infall rather than outflow might be the cause of the discrepant velocities. No indication of a large bubble structure was found in position-velocity maps of the high-velocity HI. The galaxy as a whole is in modest overall rotation, but the HI gas lacks any sign of rotation within 60'' (0.6 kpc) from the center, i.e. over most of the optical galaxy. Here, turbulent motions resulting from the starburst appear to dominate over rotation. In the outer disk, the rotational velocities reach a maximum of 35 \pm 6 km/s, but turbulent motion remains significant. Thus, starburst effects are still noticeable in the outer HI disk, although they are no longer dominant beyond 0.6 kpc. Even excluding the most extreme high-velocity HI clouds, NGC 1569 still has an unusually high mean HI velocity dispersion of sigma_v=21.3 km/s, more than double that of other dwarf galaxies.

description: Bioenergy is a major source of energy in developing countries. However, increasing demand for agricultural commodities can lead to a stronger competition for natural resources with the bioenergy production. The nexus among energy, food production and natural resource use may result in trade-offs and synergies. Accordingly, it is important to consider multidimensional aspects of bioenergy, assess the potential for bioenergy options for meeting rural households’ demand for energy, while increasing their incomes, enhancing food security and reducing potential negative effects. For addressing these interrelated issues within a single framework, we develop a generic household model that allows analyzing the ex-ante potential impacts of bioenergy use on rural households in developing countries. The model relies on dynamic programming approach and is able to evaluate the impacts of bioenergy on livelihoods of households, on environment, and on natural resource use over time. The model explicitly considers decision making among various members of household, including men, women and children. We also trace direct and spillover impacts of policy and technological changes among different socio-economic categories of households.

description: Pellarin introduced the deformation of multiple zeta values of Thakur as elements over Tate algebras. In this paper, we relate these values to a certain coordinate of a higher dimensional Drinfeld module over Tate algebras which we will introduce. Moreover, we define multiple polylogarithms in our setting and represent deformation of multiple zeta values as a linear combination of multiple polylogarithms.

description: Im Jahr 2006 werden in den Leitbildern der Raumentwicklung großräumige Verantwortungsgemeinschaften zwischen Stadt und Land ausgerufen. Mit dem Ausrufen dieses Ziels erfahren insbesondere in Metropolregionen Stadt-Land-Kooperationen eine Bedeutungssteigerung und Erweiterung. Gleichwohl bleiben vielfach grundlegende Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der postulierten Verantwortungsgemeinschaft unbeantwortet. Der Annahme folgend, dass Stadt und Land vielfältige Funktionen für die Gesamtgesellschaft bereitstellen, rückt die Arbeit die Verantwortungsübernahme ländlicher Räume auf Metaebene in das Zentrum des Erkenntnisinteresses. Hierbei fokussiert sie auf grundlegenden Annahmen zum Konzept ‚Verantwortung‘, um abschließend darlegen zu können, ob der Begriff Verantwortungsübernahme geeignet ist, um das Verhältnis zwischen Stadt und Land innerhalb der Metropolregionen hinreichend zu beschreiben. Überdies werden Großschutzgebiete aufgrund ihrer gesetzlichen und verbandseigenen Zielvorgaben, in die Untersuchung einbezogen und ihre Rolle in den Metropolregionen sowie im Verantwortungsdiskurs erhoben. Aufgrund der Bedeutung der Funktionen ländlicher Räume für eine Verantwortungsübernahme wurde mittels Sekundärdatenanalyse ein Funktionsmodell ländlicher Räume entwickelt. Mit Hilfe dieses Modells wurden in Experteninterviews die Funktionen der untersuchten ländlichen Räume erhoben und hierauf aufbauend Verantwortlichkeiten ländlicher Räume identifiziert. Untersucht wurden in dieser Arbeit ausgewählte ländliche Räume in der Metropolregion Nordwest unter Berücksichtigung des Naturparks Wildeshauser Geest sowie die Elbtalaue in der Metropolregion Hamburg unter Berücksichtigung des Biosphärenreservates Niedersächsische Elbtalaue. Um die gewonnen Ergebnisse aus den Fallstudienanalysen in wissenschaftliche und praktische Diskurse einordnen zu können, wurde überdies auf eine externe Perspektive auf den Forschungstand zurückgegriffen. Die Ergebnisse weisen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Konzeptes der Verantwortung insgesamt darauf hin, dass die Handlungsarena Metropolregion für das Konzept der großräumigen Verantwortungsgemeinschaften ebenso hinterfragt werden sollte wie der Begriff Verantwortungsgemeinschaft im Stadt-Land-Diskurs.

description: We show how to use properties of the vectors which are iterated in the transfer-matrix approach to Anderson localization, in order to generate the statistical distribution of electronic wavefunction amplitudes at arbitary distances from the origin of $L^{d-1} \times \infty$ disordered systems. For $d=1$ our approach is shown to reproduce exact diagonalization results available in the literature. In $d=2$, where strips of width $ L \leq 64$ sites were used, attempted fits of gaussian (log-normal) forms to the wavefunction amplitude distributions result in effective localization lengths growing with distance, contrary to the prediction from single-parameter scaling theory. We also show that the distributions possess a negative skewness $S$, which is invariant under the usual histogram-collapse rescaling, and whose absolute value increases with distance. We find $0.15 \lesssim -S \lesssim 0.30$ for the range of parameters used in our study, .

description: It has been recently pointed out that any primary galactic population of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP) generates, through collisions with solar matter, a secondary population of ``slow'' WIMPs trapped in the inner solar system. We show that taking into account this ``slow'' solar-system population dramatically enhances the possibility to probe the existence of stable massive neutrinos (of a 4th generation) in underground neutrino experiments. Our work suggests that a reanalysis of existing underground neutrino data should be able to bring extremely tight constraints on the possible existence of a stable massive 4th neutrino.

description: The majority of steel structures in the U.S. follow a typical design practice. This practice consists of having relatively few frames of the building that resists lateral loads, and the remainder of the structure is designed to resist only gravity loads. The elements of this gravity system are connected using “simple shear” connections that are designed and assumed to behave as “perfect pins” that have no flexural strength or stiffness, thus generating no moment resistance at the connection. Nevertheless, past research has shown that the gravity system contributes to the lateral resistance of a building in non-negligible quantities. The main objective of this research is to perform preliminary analyses to support the design of a test specimen that will be used to evaluate the cyclic response of a multi-bay steel gravity framing test specimen subjected to lateral loads. This thesis explained and delineated the test program and concept that will be used in the large-scale system-level testing. Tests will be administered on variable-scale assemblies of two-by-three bays with dimensions of 16’x8’ and two half-stories of 6’. Three servo-controlled hydraulic actuators will be used to impose a displacement on the upper floor of the specimen. The first test specimen will evaluate the response with strong-axis decking metal deck (metal deck ribs oriented parallel to the load direction), and the presence and absence of seams at the column lines. Design and sizing of the specimen elements were done trying to have a continuation of previous research (Donahue, 2019) and based on the current practices in construction (Professional Advisory Committee). Several pushover analyses were done on SAP2000 (Computers and Structures, 2020), to a structural model of the test specimen, using several constructed moment-rotation spring models of hinges at the joints (to represent the simple shear connections). These moment-rotation spring models were developed and validated with the results of previous research (Donahue, 2019) and they accurately characterized the various detailing variations present in the previous studies. The results of these analyses showed the loads and displacements needed to “fail” the specimen, how each variation of the specimen could affect these loads and displacements, and the demands for designing critical elements like base beams, column support clevises, and the top truss diaphragm.
