description: The purpose of this paper is to analyse different separation concepts in order to evaluate the overall costs based on a systems approach from stable to field. When livestock are produced in livestock intensive areas the distribution of manure without creating a surplus of nutrients is often a problem. Separation of the slurry into a liquid nitrogen rich fraction and a more solid phosphorus rich fraction, which is exported away from the farm, may alleviate this problem. Separation offers an alternative to transporting the slurry further away, renting more land or buying more land. The need for P-balance is stricter in Denmark than before, but developments in feeding, changes in regulation and the reduction of livestock numbers in Denmark have made separation less favourable. This article compares dominant separation technologies in Denmark, such as decanter and flocculation, as well as source separation, in order to establish the overall costs. Key parameters are livestock density, transport distance, price of additional land and cost of separation. The conclusion is that unless land prices or prices on slurry agreements are very high, traditional handling of animal manure has the lowest costs. Decanter separation can be the cheapest if area is limited and co-operation with neighbours is possible as large volumes reduce separation costs per tonne. Flocculation is the best if much P has to be removed from the farm in the solid fraction. Separation will in the future in many cases be combined with biogas production as the solid fraction gives a much higher gas production per tonne than slurry.

description: Le développement quasi exponentiel des MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) dans l'industrie permet d'accroître la densité de composants sur différents supports électroniques et informatiques. L'augmentation résultante des sources de chaleur nécessite alors d'intensifier les transferts thermiques dans le but de refroidir ces composants. Le développement des micro-systèmes tire profit de la technologie MEMS. En effet, à ces échelles miniatures, des procédés de micro-fabrication sont utilisés pour la réalisation des prototypes. Nous avons ainsi conçu un micro-échangeur à base d'assemblages de parois en verre et silicium constituants des canaux de dimensions micrométriques pouvant être traversés par un gaz tel que l'azote, l'argon ou l'hélium. L'objectif de cet article est de déterminer les performances optimales d'un micro-échangeur. Les écoulements en microcanal avec transfert de chaleur sont le siège de transferts thermiques et de pertes de charge fonctions de conditions géométriques (diamètre hydraulique, longueur, surface) et thermofluidiques (masse volumique, viscosité, chaleur spécifique). La disparité dans les résultats obtenus dans la littérature concernant les micro-écoulements en régime permanent est essentiellement due aux effets de raréfaction, de rapport d'aspect du micro-canal et de la rugosité de la paroi. En effet, des études portées sur des micro-échangeurs thermiques montrent que les échanges thermiques sont nettement améliorés contre une augmentation de pertes de charge pour les micro-écoulements. Des études effectuées sur des micro-écoulements d'azote, d'hélium et d'argon montrent qu'en régime laminaire, pour des faibles débits massiques, le coefficient d'échange thermique convectif se trouve réduit par rapport à celui escompté par calculs, ce décalage étant plus notable pour des faibles débits. Il est également souligné l'importance de la conduction axiale dans les parois et sa prépondérance par rapport à celle dans le fluide ce qui favorise le mélange et diminue ainsi l'efficacité du micro-échangeur. Un bilan entropique permettra de distinguer, sous la forme d'un facteur adimensionnel de production d'entropie, la part entre les irréversibilités fluidiques et thermiques en fonction du débit de gaz, du gradient de température entre le gaz et les parois, du coefficient de frottement et du nombre de Reynolds.

description: Multifactor productivity growth measures can be constructed using different input–output concepts. We estimate three distinct productivity growth measures respectively based on gross output, value added, and cash flow and discuss their economic interpretation. By making use of an index theory based decomposition model, we deviate from making neo-classical assumptions and acknowledge the role of profits. Applying the productivity growth index framework to farm level Flemish FADN data (1990–2003), we show that the estimated percentage growth of productivity is sensitive to the input–output concept under consideration. The empirical practicability of these complementary productivity growth measures depends on the purpose of measurement.

fluide binaire

description: L'utilisation des échangeurs à plaques et ailettes a été élargie aux procédés cryogéniques tel que la liquéfaction du gaz naturel et aux systèmes de réfrigération. Les ailettes les plus utilisées dans ces évaporateurs sont les ailettes décalées car elles favorisent l'homogénéisation de l'écoulement et empêchent l'établissement des couches limites thermiques afin de favoriser la turbulence et améliorer ainsi le transfert thermique. Bien que l'ébullition des fluides purs dans des géométries à ailettes décalées ait été intensivement étudiée dans la littérature, la combinaison entre les fluides binaires et les ailettes décalées n'a pas été largement investiguée. Cette présente étude vise ainsi à comprendre et analyser expérimentalement le couplage entre les différents phénomènes physiques ayant lieu lors de la vaporisation ascendante d'un mélange binaire dans un passage à ailettes décalées. Plusieurs aspects ont été examinés simultanément. Le premier aspect concerne l'hydrodynamique de l'écoulement diphasique en analysant l'impact des ailettes décalées sur les cartes et les régimes d'écoulement ainsi que la perte de charges diphasique. Le deuxième aspect consiste à l'étude thermodynamique de la vaporisation des mélanges binaires. Le dernier aspect concerne le transfert thermique en analysant l'impact des fluides binaires sur les mécanismes de transfert de chaleur. Afin d'étudier le couplage entre ces différents aspects, un banc expérimental a été conçu et fabriqué pour étudier la vaporisation ascendante d'un mélange binaire équimolaire de R-134a et R-245fa. La pression opératoire dans la section d'étude est comprise entre 2 et 5 bar absolu, la vitesse massique est comprise entre 11 et 35~$\unit{kg.m^{-2}.s^{-1}}$ et le flux thermique entre 1 et 29~$\unit{kW.m^{-2}}$. La section d'étude est composée d'un seul passage d'ailettes décalées dont la densité est de 826 ailettes par mètre. Les sections de passage sont rectangulaires avec une surface de 7~$\unit{mm^2}$ et de diamètre hydraulique de 1,75 mm. Ce passage est compris entre une plaque de polycarbonate capable de visualiser l'écoulement diphasique et un bloc d'aluminium chauffé électriquement. Une résistance chauffante en film adhésif est collée à l'arrière du vaporiseur afin de fournir la chaleur nécessaire à la vaporisation du mélange binaire. Le coefficient de transfert thermique local est calculé à partir des mesures de flux thermiques et des températures dans le fluide et dans la paroi. Un capteur de pression différentiel permet de mesurer la perte de charge totale obtenue dans la section d'essai. Les résultats expérimentaux du coefficient de transfert thermique ainsi que la perte de charge sont comparés avec des corrélations trouvées dans la littérature.

description: We present a semiclassical study of the suppression of topology changing, baryon number violating transitions induced by particle collisions in the electroweak theory. We find that below the sphaleron energy the suppression exponent is remarkably close to the analytic estimates based on a low energy expansion about the instanton. Above the sphaleron energy, the relevant semiclassical solutions have qualitatively different properties from those below the sphaleron: they correspond to jumps on top of the barrier. Yet these processes remain exponentially suppressed, and, furthermore, the tunneling exponent flattens out in energy. We also derive lower bounds on the tunneling exponent which show that baryon number violation remains exponentially suppressed up to very high energies of at least 30 sphaleron masses (250 TeV).

description: The density of state approach has recently been proposed as a potential route to circumvent the sign problem in systems at finite density. In this study, using the Linear Logarithmic Relaxation (LLR) algorithm, we extract the generalised density of states, which is defined in terms of the imaginary part of the action, for the self-interacting relativistic lattice Bose gas at finite density. After discussing the implementation and testing the reliability of our approach, we focus on the determination of the free energy difference between the full system and its phase-quenched counterpart. Using a set of lattices ranging from $4^4$ to $16^4$ , we show that in the low density phase, this overlap free energy can be reliably extrapolated to the thermodynamic limit. The numerical precision we obtain with the LLR method allows us to determine with sufficient accuracy the expectation value of the phase factor, which is used in the calculation of the overlap free energy, down to values of ${\cal O}(10^{-480})$. When phase factor measurements are extended to the dense phase, a change of behaviour of the overlap free energy is clearly visible as the chemical potential crosses a critical value. Using fits inspired by the approximate validity of mean-field theory, which is confirmed by our simulations, we extract the critical chemical potential as the non-analyticity point in the overlap free energy, obtaining a value that is in agreement with other determinations. Implications of our findings and potential improvements of our methodology are also discussed.

description: Differential rotation occurs in conducting flows in accretion disks and planetary cores. In such systems, the magnetorotational instability can arise from coupling Lorentz and centrifugal forces to cause large radial angular momentum fluxes. We present the first experimental observation of the magnetorotational instability. Our system consists of liquid sodium between differentially rotating spheres, with an imposed coaxial magnetic field. We characterize the observed patterns, dynamics and torque increases, and establish that this instability can occur from a hydrodynamic turbulent background.

description: The Morse-Witten theory (D. Morse and T. Witten, EPL 22 (1993) 549-555) provides a formulation for the inter-bubble forces and corresponding deformations in a liquid foam, accurate in the limit of high liquid fraction. Here we show how the theory may be applied in practice, including allowing for polydispersity in the bubble sizes. The resulting equilibrated 2D structures are consistent with direct calculations, within the limitations of the theory. The path to developing a 3D model is outlined for future work.

description: Afin d'améliorer la compréhension des accidents graves dans les réacteurs nucléaires et le comportement des matériaux constituant le cœur fondu (corium, acier), les propriétés thermophysiques (densité, tension de surface, viscosité) de ces matériaux doivent être déterminées à très haute température (T > 2000 $^{\circ}$C). Le niveau de précision de ces propriétés thermophysiques dépend directement de la qualité de la mesure de la température. La qualité des mesures est rendue possible par la détermination des incertitudes associées. Or l'incertitude sur la mesure de température peut être significative (jusqu'à 10\%) à très haute température. La pyrométrie est utilisée en particulier sur l'installation VITI de la plateforme accident grave PLINIUS du CEA pour estimer la température à partir du rayonnement émis par la surface ainsi que son émissivité pour chacune des longueurs d'onde de travail. Afin de réduire les incertitudes sur la mesure de température, une technique innovante par rapport à la pyrométrie, appelée pyroréflectométrie, est utilisée pour corriger les températures monochromatiques avec les réflectivités spectrales des échantillons considérés. La détermination complète des incertitudes portant sur la mesure de températures est fonction de l'incertitude due à l'étalonnage et de l'incertitude due aux capteurs et à la chaîne de mesure, laquelle inclue la nécessaire correction des températures par les réflectivités. Dans le but de réduire l'impact de l'étalonnage sur le bilan final des incertitudes, l'étalonnage a été réalisé sur des cellules à points fixes eutectiques de qualité métrologique. Une instrumentation adaptée a également été mise en œuvre, incluant notamment le dimensionnement d'une tête optique spécifique au pyroréflectomètre. Enfin, un réglage minutieux du dispositif a permis d'utiliser les réflectivités pour corriger les températures monochromatiques et obtenir une température, proche de la température du système visé, avec une incertitude considérablement réduite. La comparaison des incertitudes sur les températures obtenues par pyrométrie et par pyroréflectométrie montre qu'un bon étalonnage ainsi qu'une chaîne de mesure optimisée permet de réduire significativement les incertitudes de l'ordre de 10\% pour les pyromètres bichromatiques à environ 1-2\% pour le pyroréflectomètre sur la gamme de température allant de 1300 à 2500$^{\circ}$C.

description: Zhangolidia, gen. nov.   Type species. Olidiana polyspinata Zhang 1994:108
 Description. Medium size, robust species. Length male 7.00- 8.20 mm., female unknown. General habitus similar to Olidiana. Aedeagus long, robust, inflated, tubular, serrate or toothed on middle of lateral margin, with long robust, subapical to apical process, process with numerous secondary setae or small teeth; pygofer with long caudodorsal process, glabrous; style with robust, moderately long apophysis; subgenital plate sparsely setose from sub apex to apex.
 Etymology. The name is a combination of the patronymic name Zhang and suffix - olidia derived from the genus Coelidia. The gender is feminine.
 Remarks. Zhangolidia is similar to Hiatusorus in some aedeagal features and is distinguished by the aedeagus which is inflated and has a robust apical spine lacking in Hiatusorus. The genus is named in honor of Yalin Zhang for his numerous contributions in the Cicadellidae of China. Two species are assigned to genus, 1 from China and 1 from Thailand. Both species were transferred from Olidiana.

description: In this article, we extend previous studies based on CMB spherical harmonic phases (SHP) to examine the validity of the hypothesis that the temperature field of the CMB is consistent with a Gaussian random field (GRF). The null hypothesis is that the corresponding CMB SHP are independent and identically distributed in terms of a uniform distribution in the interval [0, 2$π$] \citep{1986ApJ...304...15B,2013rossmanith}. We devise a new model-independent method where we use ordered and non-parametric Rao's statistic, based on sample arc-lengths to comprehensively test uniformity and independence of SHP. We performed our analysis on the scales limited by spherical harmonic modes $\le$ 128, to restrict ourselves to signal-dominated regions. To find the non-uniform or dependent sets of SHP, we calculate the statistic for the data and 10000 Monte Carlo simulated uniformly random sets of SHP and use 0.05 and 0.001 $α$ levels to distinguish between statistically significant and highly significant detections. We first establish the performance of our method using simulated Gaussian, non-Gaussian CMB temperature maps, along with observed non-Gaussian 100 and 143 GHz Planck channel maps. We find that our method performs efficiently and accurately in detecting phase correlations generated in all of the non-Gaussian simulations and observed foreground contaminated 100 and 143 GHz Planck channel temperature maps. We apply our method on the Planck satellite mission's final released CMB temperature anisotropy maps- COMMANDER, SMICA, NILC, and SEVEM along with WMAP 9 year released ILC map. We report that SHP corresponding to some of the $m$-modes is non-uniform, some of the $\ell$ mode SHP and neighboring mode pair SHP are correlated in cleaned CMB maps. The detection of non-uniformity or correlation in the SHP indicates the presence of non-Gaussian signals in the foreground minimized CMB maps.

description: We present a novel reconstruction method of $f(T)$ teleparallel gravity from phenomenological parameterizations of the deceleration parameter or other alternatives. This can be used as a toolkit to produce viable modified gravity scenarios directly related to cosmological observations. We test two parameterizations of the deceleration parameter considered in recent literatures in addition to one parametrization of the effective (total) equation of state (EoS) of the universe. We use the asymptotic behaviour of the matter density parameter as an extra constraint to identify the viable range of the model parameters. One of the tested models shows how tiny modification can produce viable cosmic scenarios quantitatively similar to $Λ$CDM but qualitatively different whereas the dark energy (DE) sector becomes dynamical and fully explained by modified gravity not by a cosmological constant.

description: This note illustrates theoretical worst-case scenarios for groundness analyses obtained through abstract interpretation over the abstract domains of definite (Def) and positive (Pos) Boolean functions. For Def, an example is given for which any Def-based abstract interpretation for groundness analysis follows a chain which is exponential in the number of argument positions as well as in the number of clauses but sub-exponential in the size of the program. For Pos, we strengthen a previous result by illustrating an example for which any Pos-based abstract interpretation for groundness analysis follows a chain which is exponential in the size of the program. It remains an open problem to determine if the worst case for Def is really as bad as that for Pos.

description: Tremendous phenomenological success of the Standard Model (SM) suggests that its flavor structure and gauge interactions may not be arbitrary but should have a fundamental first-principle explanation. In this work, we explore how the basic distinctive properties of the SM dynamically emerge from a unified New Physics framework tying together both flavour physics and Grand Unified Theory (GUT) concepts. This framework is suggested by a novel anomaly-free supersymmetric chiral $\mathrm{E}_6 \times \mathrm{SU}_F(2) \times \mathrm{U}_F(1)$ GUT containing the SM. Among the most appealing emergent properties of this theory is the Higgs-matter unification with a highly-constrained massless chiral sector featuring two universal Yukawa couplings close to the GUT scale. At the electroweak scale, the minimal SM-like effective field theory limit of this GUT represents a specific flavored three-Higgs doublet model consistent with the observed large hierarchies in the quark mass spectra and mixing already at tree level.

Le système de chauffage est un échangeur constitué de tubes minces parallèles afin de présenter une grande surface d'échange et de permettre l'écoulement d'un grand débit de gaz. Le régénérateur est composé d'une matrice tubulaire à mailles en fils fins. La réversibilité du cycle Stirling est utilisée pour la génération du froid ou de la chaleur. Entraînée par un moteur, la machine devient une machine frigorifique ou une pompe à chaleur. Chaque demi-machine du Stirling Duplex (moteur ou refroidisseur) est une machine complète et comporte les principaux éléments d'une machine Stirling à savoir le réchauffeur, le régénérateur, le refroidisseur, le déplaceur et le piston Les paramètres géométriques (diamètre du piston, les diamètres du déplaceur-moteur et du déplaceur-récepteur, et la course des déplaceurs sont déterminés par une optimisation multi-objectif utilisant l'algorithme NSGA2, implémenté sur MATLAB. Les fonctions-objectifs considérées sont : la maximisation du coefficient de performance et la minimisation de la masse de la machine. Sous les contraintes dimensionnelles concernant les diamètres des pistons de puissance, des déplaceurs et de la course des déplaceurs, il ressort que les conditions optimales permettaient de dimensionner une machine Stirling Duplex de masse de 17,08 kg présentant un coefficient de performance de 0,46. Les COP frigorifique et thermique sont étudiés et il en ressort que la machine Stirling Duplex est plus performante, lorsqu'elle est utilisée en pompe à chaleur qu'en extracteur thermique.

description: Segmentation of multiple organs-at-risk (OARs) is essential for radiation therapy treatment planning and other clinical applications. We developed an Automated deep Learning-based Abdominal Multi-Organ segmentation (ALAMO) framework based on 2D U-net and a densely connected network structure with tailored design in data augmentation and training procedures such as deep connection, auxiliary supervision, and multi-view. The model takes in multi-slice MR images and generates the output of segmentation results. Three-Tesla T1 VIBE (Volumetric Interpolated Breath-hold Examination) images of 102 subjects were collected and used in our study. Ten OARs were studied, including the liver, spleen, pancreas, left/right kidneys, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, spinal cord, and vertebral bodies. Two radiologists manually labeled and obtained the consensus contours as the ground-truth. In the complete cohort of 102, 20 samples were held out for independent testing, and the rest were used for training and validation. The performance was measured using volume overlapping and surface distance. The ALAMO framework generated segmentation labels in good agreement with the manual results. Specifically, among the 10 OARs, 9 achieved high Dice Similarity Coefficients (DSCs) in the range of 0.87-0.96, except for the duodenum with a DSC of 0.80. The inference completes within one minute for a 3D volume of 320x288x180. Overall, the ALAMO model matches the state-of-the-art performance. The proposed ALAMO framework allows for fully automated abdominal MR segmentation with high accuracy and low memory and computation time demands.

description: To investigate whether intellectual property rights (IPRs) promote or hinder seed technology diffusion through trade, we use panel data for 134 countries over the period 1985-2010 to evaluate the impact of a country’s IPRs on its seed imports from the U.S. by estimating a gravity equation using both linear and nonlinear (Poisson) fixed effects methods. In both the static and dynamic models, the variable for WTO member countries that have implemented the TRIPs (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) agreement consistently shows a significantly positive effect on seed imports. We improve on previous studies by focusing on one type of planting seeds - field crop seeds, also accounting for status of growing genetically modified crops, and utilizing an estimation technique (Poisson) that is more viable in the handling of zero trade observations.

Color Superconducting Phases of Cold Dense Quark Matter

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We investigate color superconducting phases of cold quark matter at densities relevant for the interiors of compact stars. At these densities, electrically neutral and weak-equilibrated quark matter can have unequal numbers of up, down, and strange quarks. The QCD interaction favors Cooper pairs that are antisymmetric in color and in flavor, and a crystalline color superconducting phase can occur which accommodates pairing between flavors with unequal number densities. In the crystalline color superconductor, quarks of different flavor form Cooper pairs with nonzero total momentum, yielding a condensate that varies in space like a sum of plane waves. Rotational and translational symmetry are spontaneously broken. We use a Ginzburg-Landau method to evaluate candidate crystal structures and predict that the favored structure is face-centered-cubic. We predict a robust crystalline phase with gaps comparable in magnitude to those of the color-flavor-locked phase that occurs when the flavor number densities are equal. Crystalline color superconductivity will be a generic feature of the QCD phase diagram, occurring wherever quark matter that is not color-flavor locked is to be found. If a very large flavor asymmetry forbids even the crystalline state, single-flavor pairing will occur; we investigate this and other spin-one color superconductors in a survey of generic color, flavor, and spin pairing channels. Our predictions for the crystalline phase may be tested in an ultracold gas of fermionic atoms, where a similar crystalline superfluid state can occur. If a layer of crystalline quark matter occurs inside of a compact star, it could pin rotational vortices, leading to observable pulsar glitches.

Prospects for New Physics from gauge Left-Right-Colour-Family Grand Unification hypothesis

description: Given the tremendous phenomenological success of the Standard Model (SM) framework, it becomes increasingly important to understand to what extent its specific structure dynamically emerges from unification principles. In this study, we present a novel anomaly-free supersymmetric (SUSY) Grand Unification model based upon gauge trinification $[\mathrm{SU}(3)]^3$ symmetry and a local $\mathrm{SU}(2)_{\mathrm{F}} \times \mathrm{U}(1)_{\mathrm{F}}$ family symmetry, with particle spectra and gauge symmetries inspired by a possible reduction pattern $\mathrm{E}_8 \to \mathrm{E}_6\times \mathrm{SU}(2)_{\mathrm{F}} \times \mathrm{U}(1)_{\mathrm{F}}$, with subsequent $\mathrm{E}_6\to [\mathrm{SU}(3)]^3$ symmetry breaking step. In this framework, higher-dimensional operators of $\mathrm{E}_6$ induce the threshold corrections in the gauge and Yukawa interactions leading, in particular, to only two distinct Yukawa couplings in the fundamental sector of the resulting $[\mathrm{SU}(3)]^3\times \mathrm{SU}(2)_{\mathrm{F}} \times \mathrm{U}(1)_{\mathrm{F}}$ Lagrangian. Among the appealing features emergent in this framework are the Higgs-matter unification and a unique minimal three Higgs doublet scalar sector at the electroweak scale as well as tree-level hierarchies in the light fermion spectra consistent with those observed in nature. In addition, our framework reveals a variety of prospects for New Physics searches at the LHC and future colliders such as vector-like fermions, as well as rich scalar, gauge and neutrino sectors.

description: We investigate the determinants of agricultural land price in several regions in France over the period 1994-2011 using individual plots transaction data, with a particular emphasis on agricultural subsidies and nitrate zoning regulations. We found a positive but relatively small capitalisation effect of the total subsidies per hectare. We found evidence that agricultural subsidies capitalised at least to some extent. However, the magnitude of such a capitalisation depends on the region considered, on the type of subsidy considered, and on the location of the plot in a nitrate surplus zone or not. Only land set-aside premiums significantly capitalise into land price, while single farm payments have a significant positive capitalisation impact only for plots located in a nitrate surplus zone.
