description: We report a $^{63}$Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) study of the vortex state for an aligned polycrystalline sample of a slightly overdoped high-$T_c$ superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ ($T_{c}\sim$92 K) at a low magnetic field of 96 mT along the c axis, near a lower critical field $H_{c1}$. We observed the frequency distribution of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time $^{63}T_1$ in the Zeeman-perturbed $^{63}$Cu NQR spectrum below $T_c$. The characteristic behavior of 1/$^{63}T_1$, taking the minimum values with respect to temperature and frequency, indicates the significant role of antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in the Doppler-shifted quasiparticle energy spectrum inside and outside vortex cores.

description: In this paper, a novel and efficient hardware implementation of steganographic cryptosystem based on a public-key cryptography is proposed. Digital images are utilized as carriers of secret data between sender and receiver parties in the communication channel. The proposed public-key cryptosystem offers a separable framework that allows to embed or extract secret data and encrypt or decrypt the carrier using the public-private key pair, independently. Paillier cryptographic system is adopted to encrypt and decrypt pixels of the digital image. To achieve efficiency, a proposed efficient parallel montgomery exponentiation core is designed and implemented for performing the underlying field operations in the Paillier cryptosystem. The hardware implementation results of the proposed steganographic cryptosystem show an efficiency in terms of area (resources), performance (speed) and power consumption. Our steganographic cryptosystem represents a small footprint making it well-suited for the embedded systems and real-time processing engines in applications such as medical scanning devices, autopilot cars and drones.

description: For an optically thick metallic film, the transmission for both s- and p-polarized waves is extremely low. If the metallic film is coated on both sides with a finite dielectric layer, light transmission for $p$-polarized waves can be enhanced considerably. This enhancement is not related to surface plasmon-polaritions. Instead, it is due to the interplay between Fabry-Perot interference in the coated dielectric layer and the existence of the Brewster angle at the dielectric/metallic interface. It is shown that the coated metallic films can act as excellent polarizers at infrared wavelengths.

description: Developing modern systems software is a complex task that combines business logic programming and Software Performance Engineering (SPE). The later is an experimental and labor-intensive activity focused on optimizing the system for a given hardware, software, and workload (hw/sw/wl) context. Today's SPE is performed during build/release phases by specialized teams, and cursed by: 1) lack of standardized and automated tools, 2) significant repeated work as hw/sw/wl context changes, 3) fragility induced by a "one-size-fit-all" tuning (where improvements on one workload or component may impact others). The net result: despite costly investments, system software is often outside its optimal operating point - anecdotally leaving 30% to 40% of performance on the table. The recent developments in Data Science (DS) hints at an opportunity: combining DS tooling and methodologies with a new developer experience to transform the practice of SPE. In this paper we present: MLOS, an ML-powered infrastructure and methodology to democratize and automate Software Performance Engineering. MLOS enables continuous, instance-level, robust, and trackable systems optimization. MLOS is being developed and employed within Microsoft to optimize SQL Server performance. Early results indicated that component-level optimizations can lead to 20%-90% improvements when custom-tuning for a specific hw/sw/wl, hinting at a significant opportunity. However, several research challenges remain that will require community involvement. To this end, we are in the process of open-sourcing the MLOS core infrastructure, and we are engaging with academic institutions to create an educational program around Software 2.0 and MLOS ideas.

description: We compare numerical and experimental results exploring the behaviour of liquid drops moving across a surface patterned with hydrophobic and hydrophilic stripes. A lattice Boltzmann algorithm is used to solve the hydrodynamic equations of motion of the drops allowing us to investigate their behaviour as the stripe widths and the wettability contrast are altered. We explain how the motion of the drop is determined by the interplay between the driving force and the variation in surface force as the drop moves between regions of different contact angle and we find that the shape of the drops can undergo large periodic deviations from spherical. When compared, the numerical results agree well with experiments on micron--scale drops moving across substrates patterned by microcontact printing.

CHANGES IN THE TERMS OF TRADE FOR AGRICULTURE: NEW PLATEAU OR NEW PRECIPICE

Year: 1974
Subjects: International Relations/Trade

description: This paper looks at the recent boom in agricultural commodity prices to see to what extent the changes these prices reflect are of a structural rather than short term nature. It concludes that they are essentially short term: a lagged supply response to the agricultural depression of 1970 and 1971; the coincidence of normal commodity cycles for several commodities; an unusual coincidence of adverse seasonal conditions in major producing areas, particularly the U.S.S.R.; and an unprecedented upswing in world economic activity. Nevertheless, there are a number of factors which suggest that, other than possibly in short term disequilibrium situations, agricultural commodity prices will not decline to previous levels: worldwide inflation; redirection in world agricultural support policies; and the energy crisis. Many of these factors win also influence prices of manufactured goods and hence the terms of trade. After considering the problems of world food supplies and continued growth in world population, the paper suggests that there is little evidence of a major structural change in the market for agricultural commodities. Rather, it points to a return to the previous situation where there is a slight tendency for the terms of trade to move against agriculture.
Exact uncertainty principle and quantization: implications for the gravitational field

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The quantization of the gravitational field is discussed within the exact uncertainty approach. The method may be described as a Hamilton-Jacobi quantization of gravity. It differs from previous approaches that take the classical Hamilton-Jacobi equation as their starting point in that it incorporates some new elements, in particular the use of a formalism of ensembles in configuration space and the postulate of an exact uncertainty relation. These provide the fundamental elements needed for the transition from the classical theory to the quantum theory.

description: In this work we prove that the eigenvalues of the $n$-dimensional massive Dirac operator $\mathscr{D}_0 + V$, $n\ge2$, perturbed by a possibly non-Hermitian potential $V$, are localized in the union of two disjoint disks of the complex plane, provided that $V$ is sufficiently small with respect to the mixed norms $L^1_{x_j} L^\infty_{\widehat{x}_j}$, for $j\in\{1,\dots,n\}$. In the massless case, we prove instead that the discrete spectrum is empty under the same smallness assumption on $V$, and in particular the spectrum is the same of the unperturbed operator, namely $σ(\mathscr{D}_0+V)=σ(\mathscr{D}_0)=\mathbb{R}$. The main tools we employ are an abstract version of the Birman-Schwinger principle, which include also the study of embedded eigenvalues, and suitable resolvent estimates for the Schrödinger operator.

description: In the present work, DFT calculations were carried out to investigate the electronic and structural properties of two six-membered 7-rings (A) and 19-rings (B) Li-decorated silicon carbide nanosheets (Li1-3-SiCNSs) at M06-2X/6-31+G(d) and B3LYP/6-31+G(d) levels of theory. The binding energies for pristine SiCNSs, adsorption energies for Li1-3-decorated SiCNSs, bond gap energies, the density of states (DOS), dipole moment, charge transfer values and global reactivity descriptors were explored. The results show that complexes containing two neighbouring Li atoms (A1,7  and B1,7 ) are more stable than other ones. The three Li atoms in cluster A tend to form the Li-Li bond, while in cluster B they tend to be apart from each other. The positive potential Vcell values (1.67 V for A1  and 1.96 V for B1 ) reveal that the Li@SiC → Li+@SiC oxidation process can be energetically a favourable half-reaction. This makes that the SiCNSs be a promising candidate for use as the anode material in the Lithium-Ion Batteries. DOS graphs show that Li1-SiCNS and Li3-SiCNS are magnetic materials with different spin polarisation properties. The total magnetic moment of Li1- and Li3-decorated SiCNSs is predicted to be 1.0 μB.

description: The goal of the Work Package 3 (WP3) of the project TRUST-ification and FAIR-ification of an open repository for research instruments in psychology: REPOPSI’s adoption of RDA outputs was to improve the completeness of the data in REPOPSI. 

REPOPSI is an open repository for psychological measures, scales, tests, and other research instruments in Serbian. It is maintained by researchers at the Laboratory for Research of Individual Differences (LIRA) at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade.

During November and December 2022, we recruited and trained three psychology master's students from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy to assist us with WP3 activities: searching repositories of psychology dissertations for open psychological instruments, contacting instrument authors, and filling out the REPOPSI contribution form for the retrieved instruments.

Student assistants' first task was to search psychology doctoral theses using the E-theses repository and document the relevant theses and the psychological instruments extracted from them in a designated spreadsheet (December 2022 – March 2023). After the senior project members determined which instruments satisfied the copyright and quality requirements to be opened in REPOPSI (April 2023 – May 2023), student assistants started filling in the online REPOPSI contribution form and contacting corresponding authors where more information was needed (May 2023 – July 2023).

This record contains the slides from two online training sessions in a single PDF document. The slides from the first training on November 22, 2022 include the agenda in English, while the contents of the presentation on REPOPSI are in Serbian; the slides from the second training on December 12, 2022, which was focused on the E-theses search procedure, contain only the agenda in English.

This record also contains the final version of the spreadsheet in English that was used for documenting the theses and the instruments during the E-theses search phase (REPOPSI_etheses-search.XSLX) as well as during the subsequent phase which involved filling the contribution form and contacting corresponding authors (REPOPSI_etheses_depositing-instruments.XSLX).

description: Twenty-one pastoralists in the West Darling region of New South Wales were interviewed to gain an understanding of the attitudes of managers in this high-risk pastoral area to uncertain prospects. It was found that pastoralists had no difficulty in specifying subjective probabilities but in modifying probabilistic information they were conservative relative to the 'correct' revision implied by Bayes' Theorem. All the surveyed pastoralists were non-indifferent to risk, as evidenced by their non-linear utility functions for gains and losses.

description: The objective of the Stakeholder Engagement Plan is to ensure new and existing stakeholders with different interests in the project are reached, in a way that is meaningful to them. With this, WP7 will strive to ensure that the involvement of current stakeholders in the project is enhanced and continuously strengthened through the development of multiple webinars. To achieve this, the stakeholder engagement plan will build on the existing network of actors that the FIT4FOOD2030 project has developed (for example, through the existing Policy/City Lab networks) channelling communication through these networks to further build and strengthen the stakeholder networks.
A protein adopting a unique membrane conformation allows for a new viral immunoevasion strategy : a study of the function, targeting and membrane topology of adenovirus E3/6.7K protein
Creators: name: Moise, Alexandru Radu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Adenovirus persistently infects the eye, ear and the respiratory and digestive tracts in humans. Its persistence is due to in part to immunosubversive proteins coded by the E3 region of the viral genome. This thesis project started from the enticing prospect that E3/6.7K, one of the two remaining uncharacterized proteins coded by the E3 region, also has a role in virus-host cell interaction. Previously, E3/6.7K was shown to be an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) localized membrane glycoprotein. Our first functional observation was that in the presence of E3/6.7K there was a reduced inflammatory response in the lungs of virally infected mice. Consequently, cells that express E3/6.7K were protected against apoptosis induced by TNF as well as other Death Inducers, such as Fas Ligand or TRAIL. The release of inflammatory mediators by cells stimulated with TNF was also significantly reduced in the presence of E3/6.7K. More importantly, we observed that E3/6.7K prevents the efflux of calcium ions from the ER. The release of calcium ions from the ER is known to be important for the generation of mediators of inflammation and apoptosis. The effect of E3/6.7K on calcium ion homeostasis can explain the protein's protective effects against inflammatory cytokines. In an effort to explore the E3/6.7K protein in further detail, we examined its structure and membrane targeting. In spite of being an ER-localized membrane protein, E3/6.7K lacks the targeting signals that are necessary for a newly synthesized protein to be translocated across the lumen of the ER. We found that E3/6.7K translocated across the ER membrane following complete synthesis in contrast to the signal sequence-dependent mode of targeting characteristic for most other proteins secreted by higher eukaryotes. Analysis of the orientation of E3/6.7K indicated that it can assume two distinct orientations including the first encountered example of a 'hairpin' topology with both its N and C termini in the lumen of the ER. Ultimately, these studies challenged the current model of membrane protein structure and uncovered a new viral immunoevasion mechanism.
Auxiliary-level-assisted operations with charge qubits in semiconductors

description: We present a new scheme for rotations of a charge qubit associated with a singly ionized pair of donor atoms in a semiconductor host. The logical states of such a qubit proposed recently by Hollenberg et al. are defined by the lowest two energy states of the remaining valence electron localized around one or another donor. We show that an electron located initially at one donor site can be transferred to another donor site via an auxiliary molecular level formed upon the hybridization of the excited states of two donors. The electron transfer is driven by a single resonant microwave pulse in the case that the energies of the lowest donor states coincide or two resonant pulses in the case that they differ from each other. Depending on the pulse parameters, various one-qubit operations, including the phase gate, the NOT gate, and the Hadamard gate, can be realized in short times. Decoherence of an electron due to the interaction with acoustic phonons is analyzed and shown to be weak enough for coherent qubit manipulation being possible, at least in the proof-of-principle experiments on one-qubit devices.

Quantum speed limit for robust state characterization and engineering

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we propose a concept to use a quantum speed limit (QSL) as a measure of robustness of states, defining that a state with bigger QSL is more robust. In this perspective, it is important to have an explicitly-computable QSL, because then we can formulate an engineering problem of Hamiltonian that makes a target state robust against decoherence. Hence we derive a new explicitly-computable QSL that is applicable to general Markovian open quantum systems. This QSL is tighter than another explicitly-computable QSL, in an important setup such that decoherence is small. Also the Hamiltonian engineering problem with this QSL is a quadratic convex optimization problem, and thus it is efficiently solvable. The idea of robust state characterization and the Hamiltonian engineering, in terms of QSL, is demonstrated with several examples.

LO-phonon overheating in quantum dots

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Longitudinal optical phonons have been used to interpret the electronic energy relaxation in quantum dots and at the same time they served as a reservoir, with which the electronic subsystem is in contact. Such a phonon subsystem is expected to be passive, namely, in a long-time limit the whole system should be able to achieve such a stationary state, in which statistical distributions of both subsystems do not change in time. We pay attention to this property of the LO phonon bath. We show the passivity property of the so far used approximations to electronic transport in quantum dots. Also we show a way how to improve the passivity of LO phonon bath using canonical Lang-Firsov transformation.

description: A new model description and type classification carried out on its base of a wide variety of practical hysteresis loops are suggested. An analysis of the loop approximating function was carried out; the parameters and characteristics of the model were defined - coersitivity, remanent polarization, value of hysteresis, spontaneous polarization, induced piezocoefficients, value of saturation, hysteresis losses of energy per cycle. It was shown that with piezomanipulators of certain hysteresis loop types, there is no difference in heat production. The harmonic linearization coefficients were calculated, and the harmonically linearized transfer function of a nonlinear hysteresis element was deduced. The hysteresis loop type was defined that possesses minimum phase shift. The average relative approximation error of the model has been evaluated as 1.5%-6% for real hysteresis loops. A procedure for definition of the model parameters by experimental data is introduced. Examples of using the results in a scan unit of a scanning tunneling microscope for compensation of raster distortion are given.

A planning problem relating to spatial diversification of beef production in the Clarence region of N.S.W. is investigated using a model comprising both simulation and linear programming components. It is concluded that such composite models are valuable for the analysis of sequential stochastic decision processes not presently amenable to solution by stochastic programming alone.

description: An efficient procedure is proposed for making welfare payments to low income farm families. This is a negative income tax. It uses the income tax system for linking directly transfer payments to income needs, without unduly adverse effects on resource allocation. The negative income tax proposal is considered in relation to rural adjustment and reconstruction.

description: Non-conventional receivers for phase-coherent states based on non-Gaussian measurements such as photon counting surpass the sensitivity limits of shot-noise-limited coherent receivers, the quantum noise limit (QNL). These non-Gaussian receivers can have a significant impact in future coherent communication technologies. However, random phase changes in realistic communication channels, such as optical fibers, present serious challenges for extracting the information encoded in coherent states. While there are methods for correcting random phase noise with conventional heterodyne detection, phase-tracking for non-Gaussian receivers surpassing the QNL is still an open problem. Here we demonstrate phase tracking for non-Gaussian receivers to correct for time-varying phase noise while allowing for decoding beyond the QNL. The phase-tracking method performs real-time parameter estimation and correction of phase drifts using the data from the non-Gaussian discrimination measurement, without relying on phase reference pilot fields. This method enables non-Gaussian receivers to achieve higher sensitivities and rates of information transfer than ideal coherent receivers in realistic channels with time-varying phase noise. This demonstration makes sub-QNL receivers a more robust, feasible, and practical quantum technology for classical and quantum communications.

SOME CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH PRICE STABILIZATION BY THE WOOL COMMISSION REDUCES INCOMES

description: Stabilization of wool prices (which is partially achieved by the Wool Commission) may reduce the average annual net income (surplus) of growers and also of manufacturers of wool. The argument that the surplus of growers may be reduced is based upon Massell's extension of Oi's hypothesis. The possibility of falls in the surplus of manufacturers if wool prices are stabilized has a different basis. If wool prices are stabilized by buffer stocks, manufacturers find that their supplies are more variable than in the absence of controls. Consequently, they experience greater average annual cost if their marginal operating costs are increasing. Unless there are substantial revenue gains to processors, their surplus falls. The argument is also applicable to buffer stock schemes for other primary products.
Massive Galaxies Impede Massive Outflows

description: A set of 66 3D hydrodynamical simulations explores how galactic stellar mass affects three-phase, starburst-driven outflows. Simulated velocities are compared to two basic analytic models: with (Johnson \& Axford 1971) and without (Chevalier \& Clegg 1985) a gravitational potential. For stellar mass $<10^{10}$ solar masses, simulated velocities match those of both analytical models and are unaffected by the potential; above they reduce significantly as expected from the analytic model with gravity. Gravity also affects total outflow mass and each of the three phases differently. Outflow mass in the hot, warm, and cold phases each scale with stellar mass as $\log M_*=$ -0.25, -0.97, and -1.70, respectively. Thus, the commonly used Chevalier \& Clegg analytic model should be modified to include gravity when applied to higher mass galaxies. In particular, using M82 as the canonical galaxy to interpret hydrodynamical simulations of starburst-driven outflows from higher mass galaxies will underestimate the retarding effect of gravity. Using the analytic model of Johnson \& Axford with realistic thermalization efficiency and mass loading I find that only galaxy masses that are less than $\sim10^{11.5}$ solar masses can outflow.

description: As a paradigm for heat conduction in 1 dimension, we propose a class of models represented by chains of identical cells, each one of which containing an energy storage device called a "tank". Energy exchange among tanks is mediated by tracer particles, which are injected at characteristic temperatures and rates from heat baths at the two ends of the chain. For stochastic and Hamiltonian models of this type, we develop a theory that allows one to derive rigorously -- under physically natural assumptions -- macroscopic equations for quantities related to heat transport, including mean energy profiles and tracer densities. Concrete examples are treated for illustration, and the validity of the Fourier Law in the present context is discussed.

A two-channel R-matrix analysis of magnetic field induced Feshbach resonances

description: A Feshbach resonance arises in cold atom scattering due to the complex interplay between several coupled channels. However, the essential physics of the resonance may be encapsulated in a simplified model consisting of just two coupled channels. In this paper we describe in detail how such an effective Feshbach model can be constructed from knowledge of a few key parameters, characterizing the atomic Born-Oppenheimer potentials and the low energy scattering near the resonance. These parameters may be obtained either from experiment or full coupled channels calculations. Using R-matrix theory we analyze the bound state spectrum and the scattering properties of the two-channel model, and find it to be in good agreement with exact calculations.

IGM metal enrichment through dust sputtering

description: We study the motion of dust grains into the Intergalactic Medium (IGM) around redshift z=3, to test the hypothesis that grains can efficiently pollute the gas with metals through sputtering. We use the results available in the literature for radiation-driven dust ejection from galaxies as initial conditions, and follow the motion onward. Via this mechanism, grains are ejected into the IGM with velocities >100 km/s; as they move supersonically, grains can be efficiently eroded by non-thermal sputtering. However, Coulomb and collisional drag forces effectively reduce the charged grain velocity. Up-to-date sputtering yields for graphite and silicate (olivine) grains have been derived using the code TRIM, for which we provide analytic fits. After training our method on a homogeneous density case, we analyze the grain motion and sputtering in the IGM density field as derived from a LambdaCDM cosmological simulation at z = 3.27. We found that only large (a >~ 0.1-um) grains can travel up to considerable distances (few times 100 kpc physical) before being stopped. Resulting metallicities show a well defined trend with overdensity delta. The maximum metallicities are reached for 10

description: To solve the grand challenges related to food production and consumption, breakthroughs are needed in research and innovation (R&I) that foster changes in the entire food system, targeting not only the food production chain, but also the social, political, economic and environmental aspects related to it. In order to realise the needed breakhthroughs, European and regional funding systems for R&I need revisions. This paper argues the need for three revisions: to include research topics regarding food system innovation on the research agenda, to foster responsible R&I and to add to public R&I funding institutions the task of acting as ‘innovation brokers’.

description: This paper presents a case study of how livestock policies are made and implemented in a national context, and how they can be improved to better serve the interests of the poor. Livestock are extremely important in Ethiopia and could play a key role in pro-poor development strategy. Livestock are estimated to contribute to the livelihoods of 60-70% of the Ethiopian population. There have been several negative livestock-related trends over the past 20-30 years, however, including a decline in: national and per capita production of livestock products, official livestock and livestock product exports and earnings from exports, and per capita consumption of food from livestock origin. The study used the key informant method supplemented with official documents, newspaper sources and recently published research on the livestock sector. Interviews helped reveal policymakers' concerns, whereas field trips allowed the researcher to talk to a farmers and learn their perspectives. The author concludes that a strategy aimed at significantly moving the process forward and achieving pro-poor livestock and related policies needs to be broad, both short term and long term, and politically feasible. The recommended strategy consists of the following four components: - Reaching early agreement on selected issues and activities, - Forging strategic alliances and other links between key organizations - Engaging in high-level country dialogue, and - strengthening relevant civil society organizations.
