description: This paper investigates the opportunities for farmers to produce for local consumers, based on a case study in the Dutch horticulture sector. Main requirements for the set-up of a local chain of supply chain actors are investigated. Producer requirements are added value, availability of time, infrastructure and training. Retailer requirements are quality of food, purchasing volumes, food safety, communication to consumers and traceability of products. For consumers taste/freshness, sustainability, health benefits and authenticity are important attributes of local foods. Based on literature review and interviews with stakeholders four possible strategies for local food chains are defined. The ‘keep it local’ strategy means that the local food supply chains will not make use of the current infrastructure of the marketing coop that acts as chain coordinator. Deliveries are directly between farmer and retail outlet. The local products - conventional supply chain strategy implies that current (non-local) supply chains are used to distribute local products. The supply chain planning will be more complex since products need to be separated per grower and distributed to several local supermarkets. In the ‘enabling producers’ strategy the marketing coop/chain coordinator is going to enable its member producers to sell their products locally. The marketing coop can support producers in for instance, billing and payments, marketing, logistics. The fourth strategy aims at strengthening current consumer communication strategies. It is argued that connecting producers and consumers, regardless of where they live is advantageous. Conclusion is that strategy 3; ‘Enabling producers’, in combination with strategy 4; ‘Strengthening current consumer communication strategies’ are the most promising options in setting up local food supply chains. Strategies 1 and 2, where the marketing coop/chain coordinator itself takes on the challenge of setting up local food supply chains meets too much resistance from the retail companies (head-office level) and offers too little opportunities for providing added value to both producers and retailers.

description: We investigate the effect of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in single crystal diamond on nonlinear optical effects using 40 fs femtosecond laser pulses. The near infrared femtosecond pulses allow us to study purely nonlinear optical effects, such as optical Kerr effect (OKE) and two-photon absorption (TPA), relating to unique optical transitions by electronic structures with NV centers. It is found that both the nonlinear optical effects are enhanced by the introduction of NV centers in the N$^{+}$ dose levels of 2.0$\times$10$^{11}$ and 1.0$\times$10$^{12}$ N$^{+}$/cm$^{2}$. In particular, our data demonstrate that the OKE signal is strongly enhanced for the heavily implanted type-IIa diamond. We suggest that the strong enhancement of the OKE is possibly originated from cascading OKE, where the high-density NV centers effectively break the inversion symmetry near the surface region of diamond.

description: The abolishment of the milk quota, increasing fluctuation in milk prices and further economic and emotional factors resulted in the so called dairy conflict. The paper focuses specifically on the conflict between the German Farmers’ Association and the Federal Dairy Farmers Association resulting in two milk delivery strikes as culmination points within the conflict. Objectives of the study were to analyze the main conflict indicators, the conflict pattern and the process of change in the agricultural association structure in Germany. The basic methodology is a qualitative research approach. Main data collection methods are in-depth interviews and qualitative document analysis. Results show a high cross-linking between the abolishment of the milk quota and identified emotional key drivers. Structural consequences of this conflict can be seen in the reduction of political influence of the German Farmers’ Association.

description: We study the Anderson transition for three-dimensional (3D) $N \times N \times N$ tightly bound cubic lattices where both real and imaginary parts of onsite energies are independent random variables distributed uniformly between $-W/2$ and $W/2$. Such a non-Hermitian analog of the Anderson model is used to describe random-laser medium with local loss and amplification. We employ eigenvalue statistics to search for the Anderson transition. For 25\% smallest-modulus complex eigenvalues we find the average ratio $r$ of distances to the first and the second nearest neighbor as a function of $W$. For a given $N$ the function $r(W)$ crosses from $0.72$ to 2/3 with a growing $W$ demonstrating a transition from delocalized to localized states. When plotted at different $N$ all $r(W)$ cross at $W_c = 6.0 \pm 0.1$ (in units of nearest neighbor overlap integral) clearly demonstrating the 3D Anderson transition. We find that in the non-Hermitian 2D Anderson model, the transition is replaced by a crossover.

description: Existing experimental data for the breakup of 8B at energies from 30 to 1000 MeV/nucleon on light through heavy targets are analyzed in detail in terms of an extended Glauber model. The predictions of the model are in excellent agreement with independent reaction data (reaction cross sections and parallel momentum distributions for core like fragments). Final state interactions have been included in the Coulomb dissociation component. We extract asymptotic normalization coefficients (ANC) from which the strophysical factor S17(0) for the key reaction for solar neutrino production, 7Be(p,gamma)8B, can be evaluated. Glauber model calculations using different effective interactions give consistent, though slightly different results. The differences give a measure of the precision one can expect from the method. The unweighted average of all ANCs extracted leads to S17(0)=18.7+/-1.9 eVb. The results of this new analysis are compared with the earlier one. They are consistent with the values from most direct measurements and other indirect methods.

description: A thought experiment, proposed by Karl Popper, which has been experimentally realized recently, is critically examined. A basic flaw in Popper's argument which has also been prevailing in subsequent debates, is pointed out. It is shown that Popper's experiment can be understood easily within the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. An alternate experiment, based on discrete variables, is proposed, which constitutes Popper's test in a clearer way. It refutes the argument of absence of nonlocality in quantum mechanics.

description: We construct a set of equations of state (EoS) of dense and hot matter with a 1st order phase transition from a hadronic system to a deconfined quark matter state. In this two-phase approach, hadrons are described using the relativistic mean field theory with different parametrisations and the deconfined quark phase is modeled using vBag, a bag-type model extended to include vector interactions as well as a simultaneous onset of chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement. This feature results in a non-trivial connection between the hadron and quark EoS, modifying the quark phase beyond its onset density. We find that this unique property has an impact on the predicted hybrid (quark core) neutron star mass--radius relations.

Increased sensitivity in Electron Nuclear Double Resonance spectroscopy with chirped radiofrequency pulses
Creators: name: Stropp, Julian

Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2024

description: Electron Nuclear Double Resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is an EPR technique to detect the nuclear frequency spectra of hyperfine coupled nuclei close to paramagnetic centres, which have interactions that are not resolved in continuous wave EPR spectra and may be fast relaxing on the time scale of NMR. For the common case of non-crystalline solids, such as powders or frozen solutions of transition metal complexes, the anisotropy of the hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole interactions renders ENDOR lines often several MHz broad, thus diminishing intensity. With commonly used ENDOR pulse sequences only a small fraction of the NMR/ENDOR line is excited with a typical RF pulse length of several tens of μs, and this limits the sensitivity in conventional ENDOR experiments. In this work, we show the benefit of chirped RF excitation in frequency domain ENDOR as a simple yet effective way to significantly improve sensitivity. We demonstrate on a frozen solution of Cu(II)-tetraphenylporphyrin that the intensity of broad copper and nitrogen ENDOR lines increases up to 9-fold compared to single frequency RF excitation, thus making the detection of metal ENDOR spectra more feasible. The tunable bandwidth of the chirp RF pulses allows the operator to optimize for sensitivity and choose a tradeoff with resolution, opening up options previously inaccessible in ENDOR spectroscopy. Also, chirp pulses help to reduce RF amplifier overtones, since lower RF powers suffice to achieve intensities matching conventional ENDOR. In 2D TRIPLE experiments the signal increase exceeds 10 times for some lines, thus making chirped 2D TRIPLE experiments feasible even for broad peaks in manageable acquisition times.

description: The intermolecular lattice vibrations in small-molecule organic semiconductors have a strong impact on their functional properties. Existing models treat the lattice vibrations within the harmonic approximation. In this work, we use polarization-orientation (PO) Raman measurements to monitor the temperature-evolution of the symmetry of lattice vibrations in anthracene and pentacene single crystals. Combined with first-principles calculations, we show that at 10 K the lattice dynamics of the crystals are indeed harmonic. However, as the temperature is increased specific lattice modes gradually lose their PO dependence and become more liquid-like. This finding is indicative of a dynamic symmetry breaking of the crystal structure and shows clear evidence of the strongly anharmonic nature of these vibrations. Pentacene also shows a subtle phase transition between 80-150 K, indicated by a change in the vibrational symmetry of one of the lattice modes. Our findings lay the groundwork for accurate predictions and new design rules for high-mobility organic semiconductors at room temperature.

description: There is compelling evidence that substrate stiffness affects cell adhesion as well as cytoskeleton organization and contractile activity. This work was designed to study the cytoskeletal contractile activity of cells plated on microposts of different stiffness using a numerical model simulating the intracellular tension of individual cells. We allowed cells to adhere onto micropost substrates of various rigidities and used experimental traction force data to infer cell contractility using a numerical model. The model discriminates between the influence of substrate stiffness on cell tension and shows that higher substrate stiffness leads to an increase in intracellular tension. The strength of this model is its ability to calculate the mechanical state of each cell in accordance to its individual cytoskeletal structure. This is achieved by regenerating a numerical cytoskeleton based

description: High-pressure (HP) processing can enable mild bacterial spore control. Established sterilization processes, such as thermal treatment, are not universally applicable for heat sensitive products. The industry thus requires processes that effectively inactivate spores while preserving sensitive components, such as vitamins, the food color, or the food texture. This is in line with the consumer demand for healthy, minimally processed products. Current industrial non-thermal HP processing at 400–600 MPa and temperatures commonly ≤25°C can increase the shelf-life o heat sensitive products. However, bacterial spores are not inactivated and must be controlled by the product formulation or storage conditions. Inactivation of dormant spores is achieved through a combination of HP with high temperatures (>90°C), which is emerging in industry. To inactivate spores by HP while keeping the thermal input as low as possible, HP processing at a moderate temperature (<90°C) is under research. HP and moderate temperatures can trigger germination, which makes the spores sensitive to mild inactivation by HP or heat. The limitation of an HP germination inactivation strategy is that not all spores could be triggered to germinate so far. Hence, our study evaluated strategies to increase the HP germination efficacy of Bacillus spores. HP treatments (150 MPa, 37°C, 5 min or 550 MPa, 60°C, 2.5 min) were combined with other potential germination-promoting factors, such as nutrient germinants, nisin or incubation at 37°C and atmospheric pressure. The most effective combination led to -8.0±0.1 or -2.0±0.1 log10 units (n=3) germinated Bacillus subtilis or Bacillus amyloliquefaciens spores, respectively, as analyzed by plate count. Complete germination could be achieved for neither species. In conclusion, HP treatment at moderate temperature seems only to ensure effective mild bacterial spore inactivation in combination with additional germination promotors or preservation strategies. Our study provides future research directions and contributes to the efficient development of mild spore inactivation strategies.

description: We present a consistent color-flavor-spin-orbital wave function for a positive parity Theta^+ that naturally explains the observed narrowness of the state. The wave function is totally symmetric in its flavor-spin part and totally antisymmetric in its color-orbital part. If flavor-spin interactions dominate, this wave function renders the positive parity Theta^+ lighter than its negative parity counterpart. We consider decays of the Theta^+ and compute the overlap of this state with the kinematically allowed final states. Our results are numerically small. We note that dynamical correlations between quarks are not necessary to obtain narrow pentaquark widths.

description: In noisy environments such as the cell, many processes involve target sites that are often hidden or inactive, and thus not always available for reaction with diffusing entities. To understand reaction kinetics in these situations, we study the first hitting time statistics of a Brownian particle searching for a target site that switches stochastically between visible and hidden phases. At high crypticity, an unexpected rate limited power-law regime emerges for the first hitting time density, which markedly differs from the classic $t^{-3/2}$ scaling for steady targets. Our problem admits an asymptotic mapping onto a mixed, or Robin, boundary condition. Similar results are obtained with non-Markov targets and particles diffusing anomalously.

description: A birational transformation is one which leaves invariant an ordinary differential equation, only changing its parameters. We first recall the consistent truncation which has allowed us to obtain the first degree birational transformation of Okamoto for the master Painlevé equation P6. Then we improve it by adding a preliminary step, which is to find all the Riccati subequations of the considered Pn before performing the truncation. We discuss in some detail the main novelties of our method, taking as an example the simplest Painlevé equation for that purpose, P2. Finally, we apply the method to P5 and obtain its two inequivalent first degree birational transformations.

description: The nonlinear photon-photon interaction mediated by a single two-level atom is studied theoretically based on a one-dimensional model of the field-atom interaction. This model allows us to determine the effects of an atomic nonlinearity on the spatiotemporal coherence of a two photon state. Specifically, the complete two photon output wave function can be obtained for any two photon input wave function. It is shown that the quantum interference between the components of the output state associated with different interaction processes causes bunching and anti-bunching in the two photon statistics. This theory may be useful for various applications in photon manipulation, e.g. quantum information processing using photonic qubits, quantum nondemolition measurements, and the generation of entangled photons.

description: We present an analysis of a n-dimensional vacuum Einstein field equations in which 4-dimensional space-time which is described by a Friedmann Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric and that of the extra dimensions by a Kasner type Euclidean metric. The field equations are interpreted as four dimensional Einstein equations with effective matter properties. We obtain solutions for the cases when the effective matter is described by imperfect fluid. We consider the theories of imperfect fluid given by Eckart, truncated Israel-Stewart and full Israel-Stewart theories and obtain cosmological solutions for a flat model of the universe.

description: Predicting future flood hazards in a changing climate requires adopting a stochastic framework due to the multiple sources of uncertainties (e.g., from climate change scenarios, climate models, or natural variability). This requires performing multiple flood inundation simulations which are computationally costly. Data-driven models can help overcome this issue as they can emulate urban flood maps considerably faster than traditional flood simulation models. However, their lack of generalizability to both terrain and rainfall events still limits their application. Additionally, these models face the challenge of not having sufficient training data. This led state-of-the-art models to adopt a patch-based framework, where the study area is first divided into local patches (i.e., broken into smaller terrain images) that are subsequently merged to reconstruct the whole study area prediction. The main drawback of this method is that the model is blind to the surroundings of the local patch. To overcome this bottleneck, we developed a new deep learning model that includes patches' contextual information while keeping high-resolution information of the local patch. We trained and tested the model in the city of Zurich, at spatial resolution of 1 m. The evaluation focused on 1-hour rainfall events at 5 min temporal resolution and encompassing extreme precipitation return periods from 2- to 100-year. The results show that the proposed CNN-attention model outperforms the state-of-the-art patch-based urban flood emulator. First, our model can faithfully represent flood depths for a wide range of extreme rainfall events (peak rainfall intensities ranging from 42.5 mm h-1 to 161.4 mm h-1). Second, the model's terrain generalizability was assessed in distinct urban settings, namely Luzern and Singapore. Our model accurately identifies water accumulation locations, which constitutes an improvement compared to current models. Using transfer learning, the model was successfully retrained in the new cities, requiring only a single rainfall event to adapt the model to new terrains while preserving adaptability across diverse rainfall conditions. Our results suggest that by integrating contextual terrain information with local terrain patches, our proposed model effectively generates high-resolution urban pluvial flood maps, demonstrating applicability across varied terrains and rainfall events.

description: Trityl radicals feature prominently as polarizing agents in solid-state dynamic nuclear polarization experiments and as spin labels in distance distribution measurements by pulsed dipolar EPR spectroscopy techniques. Electron-spin coherence lifetime is a main determinant of performance in these applications. We show that protons in these radicals contribute substantially to decoherence, although the radicals were designed with the aim of reducing proton hyperfine interaction. By spin dynamics simulations, we can trace back the nearly complete Hahn echo decay for a Finland trityl radical variant within 7 μs to the contribution from tunnelling of the 36 methyl protons in the radical core. This contribution, as well as the contribution of methylene protons in OX063 and OX071 trityl radicals, to Hahn echo decay can be predicted rather well by the previously introduced analytical pair product approximation. In contrast, predicting decoherence of electron spins dressed by a microwave field proves to be a hard problem where correlations between more than two protons contribute substantially. Cluster correlation expansion (CCE) becomes borderline numerically unstable  already at order 3 at times comparable to the decoherence time T2ρ and cannot be applied at order 4. We introduce partial CCE that alleviates this problem and reduces computational effort at the expense of treating only part of the correlations at a particular order. Nevertheless, dressed-spin decoherence simulations for systems with more than 100 protons remain out of reach, whereas they provide only semi-quantitative predictions for 24 to 48 protons. Our experimental and simulation results indicate that solid-state magnetic resonance experiments with trityl radicals will profit from perdeuteration of the compounds.

description: Isotropic models in loop quantum cosmology allow explicit calculations, thanks largely to a completely known volume spectrum, which is exploited in order to write down the evolution equation in a discrete internal time. Because of genuinely quantum geometrical effects the classical singularity is absent in those models in the sense that the evolution does not break down there, contrary to the classical situation where space-time is inextendible. This effect is generic and does not depend on matter violating energy conditions, but it does depend on the factor ordering of the Hamiltonian constraint. Furthermore, it is shown that loop quantum cosmology reproduces standard quantum cosmology and hence (e.g., via WKB approximation) to classical behavior in the large volume regime where the discreteness of space is insignificant. Finally, an explicit solution to the Euclidean vacuum constraint is discussed which is the unique solution with semiclassical behavior representing quantum Euclidean space.

description: An inner closed (without boundary) smooth manifold of a lower dimension is cut from a multidimensional ball. In this region, invertible restrictions of the Laplace operator are well defined. In particular, the well-posed non-smooth Bitsadze-Samarskiĭ problem for the Laplace equation is defined. Moreover, we obtain M.G. Krein's formula for the trace of the difference of resolvents of the studied operators. We prove assertions on the spectrum of the non-smooth Bitsadze-Samarskiĭ problem.

We also discuss the search for the existence of $Θ^*$ states in physical processes.

description: The prevalence of outflow and feedback signatures in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is a major unresolved question which large integral field unit (IFU) surveys now allow to address. In this paper, we present a kinematic analysis of the ionised gas in 2778 galaxies at z $\sim$ 0.05 observed by SDSS-IV MaNGA. Specifically, we measure the kinematics of the [OIII] λ5007Å emission line in each spatial element and fit multiple Gaussian components to account for possible non-gravitational motions of gas. Comparing the kinematics of the ionised gas between 308 MaNGA-selected AGN that have been previously identified through emission line diagnostics and sources not classified as AGN, we find that while 25% of MaNGA-selected AGN show [OIII] components with emission line widths of $>$ 500 km/s in more than 10% of their spaxels, only 7% of MaNGA non-AGN show a similar signature. Even the AGN that do not show nuclear AGN photoionisation signatures and that were only identified as AGN based on their larger scale photoionisation signatures show similar kinematic characteristics. In addition to obscuration, another possibility is that outflow and mechanical feedback signatures are longer lived than the AGN itself. Our measurements demonstrate that high velocity gas is more prevalent in AGN compared to non-AGN and that outflow and feedback signatures in low-luminosity, low-redshift AGN may so far have been underestimated. We show that higher luminosity MaNGA-selected AGN are able to drive larger scale outflows than lower luminosity AGN. But estimates of the kinetic coupling efficiencies are $

Scaling properties in dynamics of non-analytic complex maps near the accumulation point of the period-tripling cascade

description: The accumulation point of the period-tripling bifurcation cascade in complex quadratic map was discovered by Golberg, Sinai, and Khanin (Russ.Math.Surv. 38:1, 1983, 187), and independently by Cvitanovic and Myrheim (Phys.Lett. A94:8, 1983, 329). As we argue, in the extended parameter space of smooth maps, not necessary satisfying the Cauchy - Riemann equations, the scaling properties associated with the period-tripling are governed by two relevant universal complex constants. The first one is $δ_1 = 4.6002-8.9812i$ (in accordance with the mentioned works), while the other one, responsible for the violation of the analyticity, is found to be $δ_2 = 2.5872+1.8067i$. It means that in the extended parameter space the critical behaviour associated with the period-tripling cascade is a phenomenon of codimension four. Scaling properties of the parameter space are illustrated by diagrams in special local coordinates. We emphasize a necessity for a nonlinear parameter change to observe the parameter space scaling.
