description: Because the opacity of clouds in substellar mass object (SMO) atmospheres depends on the composition and distribution of particle sizes within the cloud, a credible cloud model is essential for accurately modeling SMO spectra and colors. We present a one--dimensional model of cloud particle formation and subsequent growth based on a consideration of basic cloud microphysics. We apply this microphysical cloud model to a set of synthetic brown dwarf atmospheres spanning a broad range of surface gravities and effective temperatures (g_surf = 1.78 * 10^3 -- 3 * 10^5 cm/s^2 and T_eff = 600 -- 1600 K) to obtain plausible particle sizes for several abundant species (Fe, Mg2SiO4, and Ca2Al2SiO7). At the base of the clouds, where the particles are largest, the particle sizes thus computed range from ~5 microns to over 300 microns in radius over the full range of atmospheric conditions considered. We show that average particle sizes decrease significantly with increasing brown dwarf surface gravity. We also find that brown dwarfs with higher effective temperatures have characteristically larger cloud particles than those with lower effective temperatures. We therefore conclude that it is unrealistic when modeling SMO spectra to apply a single particle size distribution to the entire class of objects.
description: 25 pages; 8 figures. We have added considerable detail describing the physics of the cloud model. We have also added discussions of the issues of rainout and the self-consistent coupling of clouds with brown dwarf atmospheric models. We have updated figures 1, 3, and 4 with new vertical axis labels and new particle sizes for forsterite and gehlenite. Accepted to the Astrophysical Journal, Dec. 2, 2002

description: This article discusses the impact on power con-sumption of five dedicated structures of Radix-2 Decimation inTime (DIT) butterflies, when synthesized in different technologies.The five different structures are compared using both addercompressors and the addition operator of the tool. Power, areaand cells count results for 45nm are presented and comparedto the results from the literature that used 180nm technology.The study of different butterfly structures that compose FFTarchitecture, along with analysis of different logic synthesistechnologies allow significant results that can contribute to thereduction in power and area of this implementation. In thiswork different structures dedicated to the Radix-2 DIT butterflywith two pipeline stages for 16 bit-width running at 100MHzare synthesized in 45nm in order to compare results with theliterature. For the logic synthesis of the implemented butterfliesCadence Encounter (R) RTL Compiler v08.1 with NanGate OpenCell Library 45nm was used. The synthesis results show thecell count, area and power consumption for the synthesizedbutterflies. Regarding power consumption, switching activityanalysis is performed using 10.000 input vectors at inputs ofthe butterflies. Results shows that the use of adder compressorsare competitive in power consumption and area.

description: This paper presents the results from a survey of New York dairy farms that links manure management practices and farmer willingness to participate in voluntary environmental programs, focusing on those operations that are not automatically designated as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations. A wide divergence is found between actual and recommended manure management practices on individual dairy farms, the apparent ability of farms to divert financial resources to environmental practices, and the willingness to participate in voluntary programs at various annual costs per cow. These findings have policy implications for the USDA-USEPA [30] National Strategy for Animal Feeding Operations. The findings also may help foster comparisons and enhance understanding of environmental management issues in Japan and the United States.

description: Lampyris noctiluca (Linnaeus, 1767) (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) covers an extensive transpalaearctic range (Medvedev & Ryvkin 1992; Geisthardt & Sato 2007; Kazantsev 2010, 2011) with unclear boundaries of distribution on the periphery. The eastern sector of the range has been studied the least. Until recently, from the Amur region (within the borders of the Amurskaya oblast' and Khabarovskii krai of Russia) three points of collection of L. noctiluca were known. However, this which does not give a detailed idea of the range of the species in this region (Kazantsev 2010) (Fig. 1). Our research provided material from the basins of the Amur and Uda rivers, which significantly clarifies the northern boundary of distribution in the eastern sector of the range of Lampyris noctiluca. Lampyris noctiluca is also firstly recorded for the Heilongjiang province in China and the Evreiskaya avtonomnaya oblast' in Russia. Our results establish that Lampyris noctiluca is widely distributed in the Amur basin. The northeastern border of the range is located in the zone of the southern taiga in the upper reaches of the Zeya, Selemdzha and Bureya rivers. The northernmost point in the eastern part of the range is located in the basin of the Uda River (entry of Shevli River).

description: The resonant enhancement of mechanical and optical interaction in optomechanical cavities enables their use as extremely sensitive displacement and force detectors. In this work we demonstrate a hybrid magnetometer that exploits the coupling between the resonant excitation of spin waves in a ferromagnetic insulator and the resonant excitation of the breathing mechanical modes of a glass microsphere deposited on top. The interaction is mediated by magnetostriction in the ferromagnetic material and the consequent mechanical driving of the microsphere. The magnetometer response thus relies on the spectral overlap between the ferromagnetic resonance and the mechanical modes of the sphere, leading to a peak sensitivity better than 900 pT Hz$^{-1/2}$ at 206 MHz when the overlap is maximized. By externally tuning the ferromagnetic resonance frequency with a static magnetic field we demonstrate sensitivity values at resonance around a few nT Hz$^{-1/2}$ up to the GHz range. Our results show that our hybrid system can be used to build high-speed sensor of oscillating magnetic fields.

description: Based on intensive village study this paper tries to show that the rapid agricultural growth in West Bengal since the 1980s is mainly attributable to the development of private shallow tubewell irrigation, rather than the agrarian reforms. Large farmers mainly invested in tubewells, but it does not mean that they monopolize agricultural profit as the so-called 'waterlords'. On the contrary, water sales business became less profitable as the number of tubewells increased in the village, and the real water charge declined through the changes of contractual arrangement in the groundwater market. It also comments on the current situation of irrigation subsidy relating to state-operated DTWs and power subsidy given to electrified tubewells, as well as their effects to irrigated farming. Lastly, it points out the large difference in factor shares in rice production between West Bengal and Bangladesh, arguing that West Bengal agriculture is much more equitable in favor of landless laborers.

description: An emerging body of research about climate change impacts is exploring temperature effects on human activities. However, most studies use simple identification strategies that only explore one or two attributes relating to temperature or to its abnormalities. These simple strategies limit the understanding of temperature effects, and there is debate about the effectiveness of simple identification strategies. To better understand complex temperature effects on human activities, this study uses residential energy consumption as an example and develops identification strategies to capture the temperature effects resulting from temporal patterns (temperature fluctuation), abnormality (temperature departure from normal), and the interdependence among these attributes. For comparison, we use the same data set and model specification as in Deschênes and Greenstone (2011) except for specifications to capture complex temperature effects. We construct variables to capture additional temperature attributes and create the interaction terms among these attributes and temperature levels. Our findings verify the existence of complex temperature effects on energy consumption, and our paper may provoke the discussion of different strategies to better capture climate impacts on human activities.

description: This paper reviewed the research results of agriculture and food consumption related to the Great East Japan Earthquake in the field of Socio-Economics, and tried to evaluate the major results, remaining issues and directions of future research which should be expanded. In particularly, we have evaluated the conference and symposium's discussion contents, research papers and commercial journal articles. As a result, in the field of Socio-Economics, the research of agriculture has been mainly focused on the following two fields: 1) the development of a radiation monitoring system and decontamination, and 2) the study of radioactive contamination of agricultural and food products, consumer behavior and harmful rumors. All these research results are valuable and give us much information. However, the way of providing the research results to public is not sufficient, so the collaboration between academic societies is important.

description: We present a method, based on Feynman path integrals, to describe the propagation and properties of the quantised electromagnetic field in an arbitrary, nonlinear medium. We provide a general theory, valid for any order of optical nonlinearity, and we then specialise the the case of second order nonlinear processes. In particular, we show, that second-order nonlinear processes in arbitrary media, under the undepleted pump approximation, can be described by an effective free electromagnetic field, propagating in a vacuum, dressed by the medium itself. Moreover, we show,that the probability of such processes to occur is related to the biphoton propagator, which contains informations about the structure of the medium, its nonlinear properties, and the structure of the pump beam.

description: This paper investigates the market integration between international and domestic markets in the case of two-transition countries namely Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. More specifically, our study aims to understand the extent and speed of price transmission from international to local market. We have used cointegration techniques to analyse the price transmission mechanism, such as a vector error correction model (VEC). We have found strong cointegration evidences between world market and domestic market of Tajikistan while no cointegration was observed in case of Uzbekistan. Tajikistan has liberal trade while Uzbekistan frequently used protectionist trade policy.

We show that in this system, besides ordinary vortices of $S^1\to S^1$ map, the neutron condensate also allows for (meta)stable finite-length knotted solitons, which are characterized by a nontrivial Hopf invariant and in some circumsatnces are stablized by Faddeev-Skyrme term induced by drag effect. We also consider a helical protonic fluxtube in this system and show that, in contrast, it does not induce a Faddeev-Skyrme term.

What determines the $K^-$ multiplicity at energies around 1-2 AGeV?

description: In heavy ion reactions at energies around 1-2 AGeV the measured $K^-$ yields appear rather high as compared to pp collisions as shown by the KaoS collaboration. Employing IQMD simulations, we show that this is caused by the fact that the dominant production channel is not $BB\to BBK^+K^-$ but the mesonic $Λ(Σ) π\to K^-B$ reaction. Because the $Λ$ ($Σ$) stem from the reaction $BB \to Λ(Σ) K^+ B$, the $K^+$ and the $K^-$ yield are strongly correlated, i.e. the $K^-/K^+$ ratio occurs to be nearly independent of the impact parameter as found experimentally. $K^-$ are continuously produced but also very quickly reabsorbed leading to an almost identical rate for production and reabsorption. The final $K^-$ yield is strongly influenced by the $K^+N$ (due to their production via the $Λ(Σ)$) but very little by the $K^-$N potential.

description: According to the National Innovation System (NIS) approach, the innovative capabilities of a firm are explained by its interactions with other national agents involved in the innovation process and by formal and informal rules that regulate the system. This paper intends to verify how product and process innovation in the European food and drink industry are affected by: i) the NIS structure in terms of universities vs public research labs, faculties/department mix and size; ii) the NIS output in terms of WoS indexed publications vs the supply of graduates; iii) the NIS fragmentation and coordination and iv) the NIS scientific impact and specialisation.The source of data on firm innovation is the EU-EFIGE/Bruegel-UniCredit dataset supplemented by information from the International Handbook of Universities, Eurostat and the bibliometric analysis of academic research quality. The results obtained suggest that large size of public research institutions are detrimental to interactions between university and industry and the indicators used for public research assessment are not appropriate proxies of local knowledge spillovers.
NH3 in the Central 10 pc of the Galaxy I: General Morphology and Kinematic Connections Between the CND and GMCs

description: New VLA images of NH3 (1,1), (2,2), and (3,3) emission in the central 10 parsecs of the Galaxy trace filamentary streams of gas, several of which appear to feed the circumnuclear disk (CND). The NH3 images have a spatial resolution of 16.5''x14.5'' and have better spatial sampling than previous NH3 observations. The images show the ``southern streamer,'' ``50 km/s cloud,'' and new features including a ``western streamer'', 6 parsecs in length, and a ``northern ridge'' which connects to the CND. NH3(3,3) emission is very similar to 1.2 mm dust emission indicating that NH3 traces column density well. Ratios of the NH3(2,2) to (1,1) line intensities give an estimate of the temperature of the gas and indicate high temperatures close to the nucleus and CND. The new data cover a velocity range of 270 km/s, including all velocities observed in the CND, with a resolution of 9.8 km/s. Previous NH3 observations with higher resolution did not cover the entire range of velocities seen in the CND. The large-scale kinematics of the CND do not resemble a coherent ring or disk. We see evidence for a high velocity cloud within a projected distance of 50'' (2 pc) which is only seen in NH3(3,3) and is likely to be hot. Comparison to 6 cm continuum emission reveals that much of the NH3 emission traces the outer edges of Sgr A East and was probably pushed outward by this expanding shell. The connection between the northern ridge (which appears to be swept up by Sgr A East) and the CND indicates that Sgr A East and the CND are in close proximity to each other. Kinematic evidence for these connections is presented in this paper, while the full kinematic analysis of the central 10 pc will be presented in Paper II.

description: As the recent contributions to the literature show, institutional differences are an important source of comparative advantage. Yet our understanding of the exact mechanisms through which institutions affect trade flows is still rather limited. In this paper, focusing on food sector, we examine a particular channel through which this effect may occur. Using detailed country-product data, we focus on the relationship between the quality of contracting institutions and product quality, which is commonly perceived as a key feature of how countries specialise in production. In line with the existing theoretical arguments, we find that product quality improvements, which can proxy for an adoption of more advanced technologies, are associated with products made in countries-industries characterised by less contractual incompleteness and characterised by greater initial level of technological complementarities between intermediate inputs.

description: Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) are a step to mainstream climate concerns in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). National and Regional RDPs for 2014 – 2020 include instruments that promote mitigation and adaptation strategies for agriculture to enhance biodiversity, environmental value of rural landscapes, efficient water management and the transition to a low carbon bio-based economy with reduced rates of GHG and ammonia emissions. This contribution presents a comparative assessment of actions undertaken by two EU Member states, the Netherlands (NL) and Hungary (HU) (national programmes), and two regions, Emilia Romagna (ER) and Valencia (VLC), which represent distinct agricultural and forest systems. It shows that EU regions selected for the case studies move towards mainstreaming climate concerns in Pillar II policies. In the sample, actions on ecosystems under Priority 4 (‘Restoring, preserving and enhancing ecosystems’) represent between 30 and 50% of the foreseen RDP expenditure for the whole period 2014- 2020. Actions under Priority 5 (‘Resource efficiency and shift to a low carbon and resilient economy’) account for less than 20% of the RDP expenditure. Implementation and monitoring become key factors of success to guarantee that measures are not cosmetic and they actually influence the transition to a sustainable bio-economy. Further efforts should contribute to progressively integrate innovative solutions in future adjustments of RDPs. Finally, further analysis of the regulatory framework, red tape, cultural change, and social innovations will be required to improve RDP effectiveness to face climate change challenges.

description: We present a large area photometric survey of the Ursa Minor dSph. We identify UMi giant star candidates extending to ~3 deg from the center of the dSph. Comparison to previous catalogues of stars within the tidal radius of UMi suggests that our photometric luminosity classification is 100% accurate. Over a large fraction of the survey area, blue horizontal branch stars associated with UMi can also be identified. The spatial distribution of both the UMi giant stars and the BHB stars are remarkably similar, and a large fraction of both samples of stars are found outside the tidal radius of UMi. An isodensity contour map of the stars within the tidal radius of UMi reveals two morphological peculiarities: (1) The highest density of dSph stars is offset from the center of symmetry of the outer isodensity contours. (2) The overall shape of the outer contours appear S-shaped. We find that previously determined King profiles with ~50' tidal radii do not fit well the distribution of our UMi stars. A King profile with a larger tidal radius produces a reasonable fit, however a power law with index -3 provides a better fit for radii > 20'. The existence of UMi stars at large distances from the core of the galaxy, the peculiar morphology of the dSph within its tidal radius, and the shape of its surface density profile all suggest that UMi is evolving significantly due to the tidal influence of the Milky Way. However, the photometric data on UMi stars alone does not allow us to determine if the candidate extratidal stars are now unbound or if they remain bound to the dSph within an extended dark matter halo.

description: We predict that the mean transverse momentum of charged hadrons $\langle p_t\rangle$ rises as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity in ultracentral nucleus-nucleus collisions. We explain that this phenomenon has a simple physical origin and represents an unambiguous prediction of the hydrodynamic framework of heavy-ion collisions. We argue that the relative increase of $\langle p_t \rangle$ is proportional to the speed of sound squared $c_s^2$ of the quark-gluon plasma. Based on the value of $c_s^2$ from lattice QCD, we expect $\langle p_t\rangle$ to increase by approximately $18$ MeV between 1\% and 0.001\% centrality in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV.

Somatosensory influence on visual vowel perception (Masapollo & Guenther, 2019)

description: Purpose: This study aimed to test whether (and how) somatosensory feedback signals from the vocal tract affect concurrent unimodal visual speech perception.Method: Participants discriminated pairs of silent visual utterances of vowels under 3 experimental conditions: (a) normal (baseline) and while holding either (b) a bite block or (c) a lip tube in their mouths. To test the specificity of somatosensory–visual interactions during perception, we assessed discrimination of vowel contrasts optically distinguished based on their mandibular (English /ɛ/–/æ/) or labial (English /u/–French /u/) postures. In addition, we assessed perception of each contrast using dynamically articulating videos and static (single-frame) images of each gesture (at vowel midpoint).Results: Engaging the jaw selectively facilitated perception of the dynamic gestures optically distinct in terms of jaw height, whereas engaging the lips selectively facilitated perception of the dynamic gestures optically distinct in terms of their degree of lip compression and protrusion. Thus, participants perceived visible speech movements in relation to the configuration and shape of their own vocal tract (and possibly their ability to produce covert vowel production–like movements). In contrast, engaging the articulators had no effect when the speaking faces did not move, suggesting that the somatosensory inputs affected perception of time-varying kinematic information rather than changes in target (movement end point) mouth shapes.Conclusions: These findings suggest that orofacial somatosensory inputs associated with speech production prime premotor and somatosensory brain regions involved in the sensorimotor control of speech, thereby facilitating perception of concordant visible speech movements.

description: Quantum phase transitions occur at zero temperature and involve the appearance of long-range correlations. These correlations are not due to thermal fluctuations but to the intricate structure of a strongly entangled ground state of the system. We present a microscopic computation of the scaling properties of the ground-state entanglement in several 1D spin chain models both near and at the quantum critical regimes. We quantify entanglement by using the entropy of the ground state when the system is traced down to $L$ spins. This entropy is seen to scale logarithmically with $L$, with a coefficient that corresponds to the central charge associated to the conformal theory that describes the universal properties of the quantum phase transition. Thus we show that entanglement, a key concept of quantum information science, obeys universal scaling laws as dictated by the representations of the conformal group and its classification motivated by string theory. This connection unveils a monotonicity law for ground-state entanglement along the renormalization group flow. We also identify a majorization rule possibly associated to conformal invariance and apply the present results to interpret the breakdown of density matrix renormalization group techniques near a critical point.

"GMO" maize and public health. A little case of Schumpeterian policy in the EU

description: EU lawmakers have been successfully struggling for a quarter of a century to refuse the cultivation of “Genetically Modified Organisms” on the Old Continent. A clear example is given by the revision of the accepted level of contaminants in maize: rather than admitting that Bt maize is safer than “non-GMO” varieties, and therefore European farmers should be allowed not only to import it, but also to produce it, politicians have raised the threshold of the poisonous fumonisins that may be legally present in food and feed. This decision is an example of a “Schumpeterian” approach to policy, where public choices are not inspired by a science-based mind-set, but are substantially dictated by a calculus of consent: most probably, EU politicians reckoned that an adjustment of the legal level of food poison would have cost them less than the possible outrage deriving from encouraging “GMO” cultivation.

description: The boom of online social media and microblogging platforms has rapidly alter the way we consume news and exchange opinions. Even though considerable efforts try to recommend various contents to users, loss of information diversity and the polarization of interest groups are still an enormous challenge for industry and academia. Here, we take advantage of benign social bots to design a controlled experiment on Weibo (the largest microblogging platform in China). These software bots can exhibit human-like behavior (e.g., preferring particular content) and simulate the formation of personal social networks and news consumption under two well-accepted sociological hypotheses (i.e., homophily and triadic closure). We deployed 68 bots to Weibo, and each bot ran for at least 2 months and followed 100 to 120 accounts. In total, we observed 5,318 users and recorded about 630,000 messages exposed to these bots. Our results show, even with the same selection behaviors, bots preferring entertainment content are more likely to form polarized communities with their peers, in which about 80\% of the information they consume is of the same type, which is a significant difference for bots preferring sci-tech content. The result suggests that users preference played a more crucial role in limiting themselves access to diverse content by compared with the two well-known drivers (self-selection and pre-selection). Furthermore, our results reveal an ingenious connection between specific content and its propagating sub-structures in the same social network. In the Weibo network, entertainment news favors a unidirectional star-like sub-structure, while sci-tech news spreads on a bidirectional clustering sub-structure. This connection can amplify the diversity effect of user preference. The discovery may have important implications for diffusion dynamics study and recommendation system design.

Modeling the strangeness content of hadronic matter

description: The strangeness content of hadronic matter is studied in a string-flip model that reproduces various aspects of the QCD-inspired phenomenology, such as quark clustering at low density and color deconfinement at high density, while avoiding long range van der Waals forces. Hadronic matter is modeled in terms of its quark constituents by taking into account its internal flavor (u,d,s) and color (red, blue, green) degrees of freedom. Variational Monte-Carlo simulations in three spatial dimensions are performed for the ground-state energy of the system. The onset of the transition to strange matter is found to be influenced by weak, yet not negligible, clustering correlations. The phase diagram of the system displays an interesting structure containing both continuous and discontinuous phase transitions. Strange matter is found to be absolutely stable in the model.
