description: Protoplanetary disks in dense, massive star-forming regions are strongly affected by their environment. How this environmental impact changes over time is an important constraint on disk evolution and external photoevaporation models. We characterize the dust emission from 179 disks in the core of the young (0.5 Myr) NGC 2024 cluster. By studying how the disk mass varies within the cluster, and comparing these disks to those in other regions, we aim to determine how external photoevaporation influences disk properties over time. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, a 2.9' x 2.9' mosaic centered on NGC 2024 FIR 3 was observed at 225 GHz with a resolution of 0.25'', or ~100 AU. The imaged region contains 179 disks identified at IR wavelengths, seven new disk candidates, and several protostars. The overall detection rate of disks is $32 \pm 4\%$. Few of the disks are resolved, with the exception of a giant (R = 300 AU) transition disk. Serendipitously, we observe a millimeter flare from an X-ray bright young stellar object (YSO), and resolve continuum emission from a Class 0 YSO in the FIR 3 core. Two distinct disk populations are present: a more massive one in the east, along the dense molecular ridge hosting the FIR 1-5 YSOs, with a detection rate of $45 \pm 7\%$. In the western population, towards IRS 1, only $15 \pm 4\%$ of disks are detected. NGC 2024 hosts two distinct disk populations. Disks along the dense molecular ridge are young (0.2 - 0.5 Myr) and partly shielded from the far ultraviolet radiation of IRS 2b; their masses are similar to isolated 1 - 3 Myr old SFRs. The western population is older and at lower extinctions, and may be affected by external photoevaporation from both IRS 1 and IRS 2b. However, it is possible these disks had lower masses to begin with.

Roof prisms and phase coatings
Creators: name: Hurben, Michael John
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Roof prisms are common components of widely-available optical instruments such as binoculars. Unless they are treated with specialized coatings, however, they degrade resolution due to combined effects from (a) different phase shifts associated with s- and p-polarizations upon total internal reflection, and (b) the novel geometry of the dual light paths. Here we present a full treatment of this problem, beginning with a derivation of the phase shift expressions from basic electrodynamics. The deleterious effect on resolution is then demonstrated by using a Jones matrix approach to calculate how the Fraunhoffer diffraction pattern is altered by the presence of a 90 degree roof prism. Finally, mitigation of this aberration by means of phase-compensation coatings is described, using a transfer matrix method to calculate the phase shift offset for single and triple (Herpin equivalent) films.

description: To what extent can news media help in providing more credible information about science? This is the core challenge for the Science Evidence Indicator (SEI) project, a collaboration between the Danish popular news website videnskab.dk and the authors of this paper. Looking specifically at medical science news, we aim to provide a transparent assessment of the scientific sources behind a story. This entails identifying some of the criteria that scientists use to assess research, and making it accessible and understandable for readers. We address the following research question: How can we communicate the quality of scientific publications in health science to a non-expert audience? Our goal is to make the assessments understandable for the youngest part of the website's target audience: high school students from age 16 and upwards.

description: Minkowski space can be sliced, outside the lightcone, in terms of Euclidean Anti-de Sitter and Lorentzian de Sitter slices. In this paper we investigate what happens when we apply holography to each slice separately. This yields a dual description living on two spheres, which can be interpreted as the boundary of the light cone. The infinite number of slices gives rise to a continuum family of operators on the two spheres for each separate bulk field. For a free field we explain how the Green's function and (trivial) S-matrix in Minkowski space can be reconstructed in terms of two-point functions of some putative conformal field theory on the two spheres. Based on this we propose a Minkowski/CFT correspondence which can also be applied to interacting fields. We comment on the interpretation of the conformal symmetry of the CFT, and on generalizations to curved space.

description: The objective of the paper is to assess economic and structural effects of the measure “Modernisation of Agricultural Holdings” of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 on the Czech farms. A particular attention is paid to its dynamic and time-differentiated impacts. We use Direct Covariate Matching to address issues of potential selection bias, simultaneity bias or functional form misspecification. Our empirical results show significant short as well as long-term investment support effects, which, however, markedly vary between support periods. This may relate to the rapidly changing overall financial and investment conditions for agriculture. The investment support of the earlier period of 2008-2011 which overlaps with the time of economic crisis is found to have larger and more significant structural and performance effects than later investment support. It resulted in significant ruminant production expansion at the expense of farm cost efficiency, but contributed to a short-term TFP increase. These effects of support vanished in the latter periods characterized by favourable financial conditions. For this period, we find negative effects of investment support on total factor productivity that could indicate loss of additionality of investment support and/or differences in type of investments and their productivity realized by supported and non-supported farms.

description: Nowadays, the quantity of tests in the quality control of construction of the road base layers is determined by normative documents in the longitudinal and transverse sections. Increasing the number of existing devices and methods and tests across the longitudinal and cross-section to improve the overall quality requires a lot of work and time. That's why the demand for new quality assurance devices and methods is rising. Express quality evaluation tools and devices are designed to get more and accurate results with less time spent. The Terratest 5000 Blu Light weight deflectometer can eliminate the above obstacles by applying quality control of the device with high accuracy and modern equipment. Increasing the number of tests increases the overall quality of the layer.

description: The study investigated preferences of consumers of food retailing outlets in Germany for sustainability labeled cut roses. A sample of 1,201 respondents of an online survey was used to analyze their preferences based on a conjoint experiment in which a bunch of ten roses was considered which differed concerning the labeling certificate, country of production of the plants, price, packaging, smell and blossom size of the roses. Latent class analysis revealed existence of consumer heterogeneity with around two thirds of the respondents being strongly in favor of sustainability labels. Thereby Fairtrade labeled roses got an overall positive assessment whereby organic roses were only preferred by 31% of the respondents. In addition, paper or no packaging, strong smell and uniform big blossom sizes got overall positive consumer evaluations in the experiment. The study concludes that sustainability labeled plants might be an option for producers to append additional value to horticultural products in Germany.

description: The monitoring of the transport of manure and its content is a cornerstone in the implementation of water quality objectives in nutrient management in agriculture. This paper uses a spatial price equilibrium model, applied to the market of manure in livestock dense regions, to assess the impact of an inflated stated nutrient content of transported manure. This paper shows that, due to the varying composition of manure, it is very difficult to monitor the real content of transported manure. The spatial price equilibrium model suggests that the inability of monitoring this nutrient content could be an important explaining factor for bad measured surface water quality. In addition, the paper also illustrates that monitoring the actual use of synthetic fertilizer does not function in the Flemish case study region. As an alternative policy approach we propose that a total ban on synthetic nitrogen fertilizer would be justified in region with manure nutrient surpluses. The total ban on synthetic nitrogen fertilizer could be complemented by a correction mechanism financed by a tax on livestock to compensate foregone revenues of reduced fertilizer availability for arable farms.

description: Sequences based on the Distant Dipolar Field (DDF) have shown great promise for novel spectroscopy and imaging. Unless spatial variation in the longitudinal magnetization, M_{z}(s), is eliminated by relaxation, diffusion, or spoiling techniques by the end of a single repetition, unexpected results can be obtained due to spatial harmonics in the steady state M_{z}^{SS}(s) profile. This is true even in a homogeneous single-component sample. We have developed an analytical expression for the M_{z}^{SS}(s) profile that occurs in DDF sequences when smearing by diffusion is negligible in the TR period. The expression has been verified by directly imaging the M_{z}^{SS}(s) profile after establishing the steady state. more keywords: magnetic resonance, intermolecular multiple quantum coherence, mesoscale structure, iMQC, DDF

description: The prime objective of the paper is to estimate the trade creation and trade diversion effect of ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement (AIFTA) on member’s agricultural trade. The model includes 50 countries with five major FTAs and estimated with panel data regression over the period 2005-2014. We used OLS (Ordinary Least Square) and PPML (Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood) estimation method to accomplish the above-said objective. The PPML method deals with hetroskedasticity bias encountered as usual OLS method. Further, the paper has included two dummy variables Time and Country-specific effect which control the endogeneity bias in explanatory variables. The paper found that PPML results are more promising than the conventional method (OLS). Further, estimate reveals purely trade creation effect for AIFTA, MERCOSURE, and EU_15 under time fixed effect model. Under the time and country fixed effect model; AIFTA, SAPTA, and NAFTA found trade creation. In contrast, the paper also noticed purely trade diversion effect for SAPTA and EU_15 and MERCOSURE under time fixed and time and country fixed effect model respectively. The study noted that FTAs are not hampering but positively associated with the free multilateral trade.

description: Holant problems are a family of counting problems parameterised by sets of algebraic-complex valued constraint functions, and defined on graphs. They arise from the theory of holographic algorithms, which was originally inspired by concepts from quantum computation. Here, we employ quantum information theory to explain existing results about holant problems in a concise way and to derive two new dichotomies: one for a new family of problems, which we call Holant$^+$, and, building on this, a full dichotomy for Holant$^c$. These two families of holant problems assume the availability of certain unary constraint functions -- the two pinning functions in the case of Holant$^c$, and four functions in the case of Holant$^+$ -- and allow arbitrary sets of algebraic-complex valued constraint functions otherwise. The dichotomy for Holant$^+$ also applies when inputs are restricted to instances defined on planar graphs. In proving these complexity classifications, we derive an original result about entangled quantum states.

description: China used to zealously embrace genetically modified (GM) technology, but debates, scandals and misleading news on GM technology increase consumers’ risk perceptions of GM foods and influenced their trust in different actors involved in biotechnology. A better understanding of consumer trust in different actors or source of information can improve effectiveness of biotechnology policy and better practice in risk communication with respect to GM foods. This paper employs bivariate Probit models and IV Probit model to examine the relationships between consumers’ trust in different actors / source of information and their attitudes toward GM foods. The surveys conducted in 2015 in China showed that most consumers reject GM foods and tend to distrust in scientists who are engaged in biotechnology research. Meanwhile, they revealed a high level of trust in non-GM scientists or individuals and high levels of belief in misleading news or rumors regarding GM food safety. Consumer trust in GM scientists are positively associate with their acceptance of GM foods while their trust in non-GM scientists or individuals and belief in misleading news or rumors are important constraints for consumer acceptance of GM foods.

description: In this paper, we investigate the influence of hyperfine splitting on complex spectral lines, with the aim of evaluating canonical abundances by decomposing their dependence on hyperfine structures. This is achieved from first principles through deconvolution. We present high spectral resolution observations of the rotational ground state transitions of CH near 2 THz seen in absorption toward the strong FIR-continuum sources AGAL010.62$-$00.384, AGAL034.258+00.154, AGAL327.293$-$00.579, AGAL330.954$-$00.182, AGAL332.826$-$00.549, AGAL351.581$-$00.352 and SgrB2(M). These were observed with the GREAT instrument on board SOFIA. The observed line profiles of CH were deconvolved from the imprint left by the lines' hyperfine structures using the Wiener filter deconvolution, an optimised kernel acting on direct deconvolution. The quantitative analysis of the deconvolved spectra first entails the computation of CH column densities. Reliable N(CH) values are of importance owing to the status of CH as a powerful tracer for H$_2$ in the diffuse regions of the interstellar medium. The N(OH)/N(CH) column density ratio is found to vary within an order of magnitude with values ranging from one to 10, for the individual sources that are located outside the Galactic centre. Using CH as a surrogate for H$_2$, we determined the abundance of the OH molecule to be X(OH)=1.09$\times$10$^{-7}$ with respect to H$_2$. The radial distribution of CH column densities along the sightlines probed in this study, excluding SgrB2(M), showcase a dual peaked distribution peaking between 5 and 7 kpc. The similarity between the correspondingly derived column density profile of H$_2$ with that of the CO-dark H$_2$ gas traced by the cold neutral medium component of [CII] 158$~μ$m emission across the Galactic plane, further emphasises the use of CH as a tracer for H$_2$.

description: This paper examines the motivations of participants in a large-scale pilot project that develops a new agrienvironmental measure, gypsum treatment of arable fields, to reduce phosphorus loads to the Baltic Sea. We build a general model of crop production that allows for three motivations: profit maximization, utility from agricultural innovation, and stewardship towards the nature. They all are present in the sample, proved by farmer survey and confirmatory factor analysis. Strong profit motivation relates to large gypsumtreated area and perceived easiness of gypsum as a water protection measure, and strong environmental motivation to environmentally friendly cultivation technologies.

description: This paper investigates the effects of adopting drought tolerant maize varieties (DTMVs) on farm productivity and risk exposure using a moment based approach on households growing maize in Zambia. First, second and third moments of farm production were used in estimations. The study applied an endogenous switching regression model that controls for both observed and unobserved sources of heterogeneity between adopters and non-adopters. The study revealed that the adoption of DTMVs increases maize yield, reduces yield variability and exposure to downside risk significantly. The adoption of DTMVs increased maize yield by 8% while reducing yield variance and the risk of crop failure by 35% and 27%, respectively. These results underscore the need for concerted efforts to scale-out the production of DTMVs for both maize productivity enhancement as well as for risk mitigation against climatic shocks.

description: We report on the analysis of high-resolution optical spectra for 77 subdwarf B (sdB) stars from the ESO Supernova Ia Progenitor Survey. Effective temperature, surface gravity, and photospheric helium abundance are determined simultaneously by spectral line profile fitting of hydrogen and helium lines, and are found to be in agreement with previous studies of sdB stars. 24 objects show spectral signs of a cool companion, being either companion absorption lines or a flux contribution at Halpha. Five stars with relatively high luminosity show peculiar Halpha profiles, possibly indicating stellar winds. Our results are compared to recent theoretical simulations by Han et al. (2003) for the distribution in effective temperature and surface gravity, and are found to agree very well with these calculations. Finally we present a binary system consisting of two helium-rich hot subdwarfs.

 Variation: These males determinated cf. C. iliensis by K. Schmidt 1996 differ from a male of C. iliensis determinated by Kazenas 1994 in having the terga densely and coarsely punctate and the propodeal enclosure distinctly obliquely striate (C. iliensis identified by Kazenas has the terga with extremly fine and sparse punctation and the propodeal enclosure is dull and irregularly structured). Probably these males represent an undescribed species.

description: In this article we perform dynamical analysis of a broad class of barotropic fluids in the spatially curved Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime background without considering the cosmological constant. The first part of our study concerns the dynamics of a fluid with an unspecified barotropic equation of state (EoS) having as the only assumption the non-negativity of the fluid's energy density. After defining a new set of dimensionless variables and a new evolution parameter, we introduce the function $Γ$ that encodes the EoS. In this general setup several features of the system are identified: critical points, invariant subsets and the characteristics of the function $Γ$, along with their cosmological interpretations. The second part of our work provides two examples with specific $Γ$ functions. In the first example we provide a $Γ$ function and then we exhibit how it can be trimmed down to a specific class of EoS through physical arguments, while in the second example we discuss the quadratic EoS studied in Phys.Rev. D {\bf 74}, 023523 (2006) by comparing our approach with their analysis.

description: Studying the cosmological sources at their cosmological rest-frames is crucial to track the cosmic history and properties of compact objects. In view of the increasing data volume of existing and upcoming telescopes/detectors, we here construct a 1--dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) with a residual neural network (ResNet) structure to estimate the redshift of quasars in Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV) catalog from DR16 quasar-only (DR16Q) of eBOSS on a broad range of signal-to-noise ratios, named \code{FNet}. Owing to its $24$ convolutional layers and the ResNet structure with different kernel sizes of $500$, $200$ and $15$, FNet is able to discover the "\textit{local}" and "\textit{global}" patterns in the whole sample of spectra by a self-learning procedure. It reaches the accuracy of 97.0$\%$ for the velocity difference for redshift, $|\Delta\nu|< 6000~ \rm km/s$ and 98.0$\%$ for $|\Delta\nu|< 12000~ \rm km/s$. While \code{QuasarNET}, which is a standard CNN adopted in the SDSS routine and is constructed by 4 convolutional layers (no ResNet structure), with kernel sizes of $10$, to measure the redshift via identifying seven emission lines (\textit{local} patterns), fails in estimating redshift of $\sim 1.3\%$ of visually inspected quasars in DR16Q catalog, and it gives 97.8$\%$ for $|\Delta\nu|< 6000~ \rm km/s$ and 97.9$\%$ for $|\Delta\nu|< 12000~ \rm km/s$. Hence, FNet provides similar accuracy to \code{QuasarNET}, but it is applicable for a wider range of SDSS spectra, especially for those missing the clear emission lines exploited by \code{QuasarNET}. These properties of \code{FNet}, together with the fast predictive power of machine learning, allow \code{FNet} to be a more accurate alternative for the pipeline redshift estimator and can make it practical in the upcoming catalogs to reduce the number of spectra to visually inspect.

Polyelectrolyte Adsorption on Charged Substrate

description: The behavior of a polyelectrolyte adsorbed on a charged substrate of high-dielectric constant is studied by both Monte-Carlo simulation and analytical methods. It is found that in a low enough ionic strength medium, the adsorption transition is first-order where the substrate surface charge still keeps repulsive. The monomer density at the adsorbed surface is identified as the order parameter. It follows a linear relation with substrate surface charge density because of the electrostatic boundary condition at the charged surface. During the transition, the adsorption layer thickness remains finite. A new scaling law for the layer thickness is derived and verified by simulation.

description: China is investing huge funds into Pakistan’s transport infrastructure under China Pakistan Economic Corridor. Both countries stand to benefit from these developments via improved trade and lower export prices. We use a global economics models (GTAP) to assess the effects of transport infrastructure by developing several policy scenarios in 2025. Our results show that both Pakistan and China will get positive effects in terms of GDP growth and welfare. The effects are particularly significant on Pakistan. In terms of mutual trade, Pakistan’s net exports of agricultural commodities to China will increase more than the exports non-agricultural commodities. On the other hand, non-agricultural exports from China will improve significantly to Pakistan. Due to changing trade relations, there will be some adjustment in Pakistan’s production structure. Pakistan could experience some leveling of income due to slight increase in rural incomes. The expected benefits can only be realized by speedy and smooth implementation of the projects under CPEC.
Testing the Leptogenesis Mechanism of the Seesaw Model

description: The seesaw theory, the leading theory for particle interactions, provides a viable mechanism for generating the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. Testing the leptogenesis mechanism directly requires measurement of the d=6 operator of the low-energy effective Lagrangian, in addition to the more familiar d=5 operator which generates Majorana masses for the light neutrinos when the electroweak symmetry is spontaneously broken. This important experimental challenge awaits the next generation of particle physicists.

description: We employ spherical $t$-designs for the systematic construction of solids whose rotational degrees of freedom can be made robust to decoherence due to external fluctuating fields while simultaneously retaining their sensitivity to signals of interest. Specifically, the ratio of signal phase accumulation rate from a nearby source to the decoherence rate caused by fluctuating fields from more distant sources can be incremented to any desired level by using increasingly complex shapes. This allows for the generation of long-lived macroscopic quantum superpositions of rotational degrees of freedom and the robust generation of entanglement between two or more such solids with applications in robust quantum sensing and precision metrology as well as quantum registers.
