description: We present a first step in developing a benchmark equation-of-state (EoS) model for multi-messenger astronomy that unifies the thermodynamics of quark and hadronic degrees of freedom. A Lagrangian approach to the thermodynamic potential of quark-meson-nucleon (QMN) matter was used. In this approach, dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking is described by the scalar mean-field dynamics coupled to quarks and nucleons and their chiral partners, whereby its restoration occurs in the hadronic phase by parity doubling, as well as in the quark phase. Quark confinement was achieved by an auxiliary scalar field that parametrizes a dynamical infrared cutoff in the quark sector, serving as an ultraviolet cutoff for the nucleonic phase space. The gap equations were solved for the isospin-symmetric case, as well as for neutron star (NS) conditions. We also calculated the mass-radius (MR) relation of NSs and their tidal deformability parameter. The obtained EoS is in accordance with nuclear matter properties at saturation density and with the flow constraint from heavy ion collision experiments. For isospin-asymmetric matter, a sequential occurrence of light quark flavors is obtained, allowing for a mixed phase of chirally-symmetric nucleonic matter with deconfined down quarks. The MR relations and TDs for compact stars fulfill the constraints from the latest astrophysical observations for PSR J0740+6620, PSR J0030+0451, and the NS merger GW170817, whereby the tension between the maximum mass and compactness constraints rather uniquely fixes the model parameters. The model predicts the existence of stars with a core of chirally restored but purely hadronic (confined) matter for masses beyond $1.8~M_\odot$. Stars with pure-quark matter cores are found to be unstable against the gravitational collapse. This instability is shifted to even higher densities if repulsive interactions between quarks are included.

description: SU(4) dynamical symmetry is shown to imply a no-double-occupancy constraint on the minimal symmetry description of antiferromagnetism and d-wave superconductivity. This implies a maximum doping fraction of 1/4 for cuprates and provides a microscopic critique of the projected SO(5) model. We propose that SU(4) superconductors are representative of a class of compounds that we term non-abelian superconductors. We further suggest that non-abelian superconductors may exist having SU(4) symmetry and therefore cuprate-like dynamics, but without d-wave hybridization.

description: The bio-efficacy of eight plant aqueous extracts viz Neem (Azadiracta indica), Bakaino (Melia composite), Asuro (Adhatoda vasica), Titepati (Artimesia vulgaris), Khirro (Sapium insigne), Bojho (Acorus calamus), Tobacco (Nicotinia tabaccum) and Marigold (Tagetes erecta) were tested on Lumle tori-1 variety of rapeseed against mustard aphid (Lipaphis erysimi Kalt.) during rabi season of 2018/19 under field and lab conditions at Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Lamjung Campus, Lamjung, Nepal. The treatments were eight plant extracts, cypermethrin 10% EC (@1.5 mL/L), and water as control. Aphids were deliberately exposed to the treatments and then the numbers of alive and dead aphids were counted. The plant extracts showed highly significant effect on aphid mortality in both field and lab condition. In the lab, cypermethrin was found to be the most effective against aphid offering the highest aphid mortality (96%) followed by neem extract (88%) whereas the lowest aphid mortality (14.67%) was observed in control plot. Under field condition the highest percentage of aphid reduction was observed with use of cypermethrin followed by neem and tobacco leaf extracts whereas, control plot showed the lowest percentage of aphid reduction. Among all treatments, the highest grain yield of rapeseed (2104.44 kg/ha) was obtained from plot treated with cypermethrin followed by neem extract (2048.44 kg/ha) and tobacco extract (2020.22 kg/ha) whereas, control plot produced the lowest rapeseed yield (1133.67 kg/ha). All the treatments of plant leaf extracts showed better insecticidal activity. However, neem extract followed by tobacco extract reduced the aphid population to a great extent. Therefore, neem and tobacco extracts could be the best alternative for controlling aphids.

description: Kenya, like most countries in the Eastern and Southern Africa region, has continued to be overwhelmed by high and volatile food prices. In an effort to mitigate this problem, the government has implemented various trade and marketing policy instruments. The aim of this study is to examine whether the policies implemented have achieved their desired effects. The results of the study demonstrate a significant difference across the different policy regimes. Higher price transmission and faster dissipation of price shocks are observed under the regime with minimal or no policy interventions. Under policy regimes implemented to mitigate against high food prices, the reverse is true. Policies implemented to mitigate against price hikes resulted in market distortion. For these policies to achieve their desired effects, there is a need for proper consultation and coordination between government institutions, a review of the import ban on GMO foodstuffs, and distribution of the subsidised fertiliser through the private sector.

description: The inflationary origin of primordial black holes (PBHs) relies on a large enhancement of the power spectrum $Δ_ζ$ of the curvature fluctuation $ζ$ at wavelengths much shorter than those of the cosmic microwave background anisotropies. This is typically achieved in models where $ζ$ evolves without interacting significantly with additional (isocurvature) scalar degrees of freedom. However, quantum gravity inspired models are characterized by moduli spaces with highly curved geometries and a large number of scalar fields that could vigorously interact with $ζ$ (as in the cosmological collider picture). Here we show that isocurvature fluctuations can mix with $ζ$ inducing large enhancements of its amplitude. This occurs whenever the inflationary trajectory experiences rapid turns in the field space of the model leading to amplifications that are exponentially sensitive to the total angle swept by the turn, which induce characteristic observable signatures on $Δ_ζ$. We derive accurate analytical predictions and show that the large enhancements required for PBHs demand non-canonical kinetic terms in the action of the multifield system.

Year: 2006

description: This workshop is Part 1 of a two-part workshop, with the second part offered in the afternoon as Workshop 5 (Hands-On DDI 3.0 - Concept, Structure, and Tools). DDI Version 3.0 is currently under review by the DDI Expert Committee and expected to move into public review following the DDI meeting during IASSIST. This long-anticipated move toward a modular approach based on the data life cycle brings increased coverage of comparative data, an instrumentation/questionnaire module, and data management provisions. The new version also raises questions as to what it means for current users of DDI 1 or 2 and what it means for data archivists and programmers. This two-part workshop will cover the broad questions of version differences, new 3.0 features, and the future of the DDI and data documentation (Part 1, Workshop 1, classroom format), and then address the practical aspects of migration to 3.0, metadata creation, and available tools (Part 2, Workshop 5, lab format). Attendees can register for the full-day workshop or either half-day session, depending on their needs and interests. Topics to be covered: Conceptual differences between DDI and traditional documentation (including codebooks and DDI 1 and 2)Utility, functionality, and uses of DDI (parse-ability, re-usability, flexibility, use over the life cycle of data, human-usable documentation, software-usable documentation, metadata as data, etc.), with many examplesKey features of DDI 3DDI LiteThe future of DDI and data documentation Intended Audience: Anyone interested in DDI; no prior knowledge of DDI or XML is required. The morning workshop will present basic concepts of DDI.

description: We have derived the integral form of the cusp and node coalescence conditions satisfied by the wavefunction at the coalescence of two charged particles in $D \geq 2$ dimension space. From it we have obtained the differential form of the coalescence conditions. These expressions reduce to the well-known integral and differential coalescence conditions in $D = 3$ space. It follows from the results derived that the approximate Laughlin wavefunction for the fractional Quantum Hall Effect satisfies the node coalescence condition. It is further noted that the integral form makes evident that unlike the electron-nucleus coalescence condition, the differential form of the electron-electron coalescence condition cannot be expressed in terms of the electron density at the point of coalescence. From the integral form, the integral and differential coalescence conditions for the pair-correlation function in $D\geq 2$ dimension space are also derived. The known differential form of the pair function cusp condition for the uniform electron gas in dimensions $D = 2,3$ constitute a special case of the result derived.

description: The high volatility of the world cocoa price makes the millions of African cocoa farmers highly vulnerable to poverty. A large volatility in the value of an agricultural commodity is linked to the inelasticity of its supply or demand. Therefore, we test the hypothesis that the price elasticities of the global cocoa supply and demand are low. We describe the global cocoa market by way of supply, demand and stock sub-models. Our estimates are based on annual global observations covering the years 1963 through 2013, and three estimation methods. We find that the global cocoa supply is extremely price-inelastic: the corresponding short- and long-run estimates are 0.07 and 0.57 respectively. The price elasticity of cocoa demand also falls into the extremely inelastic range: the short- and long-run estimates are -0.06 and -0.34 respectively. Our assessment also shows that the low global cocoa stock levels amplify the price volatility of cocoa.

description: We propose a method to generate a real-energy flat band in a two-dimensional (2D) non-Hermitian Lieb lattice. The coincidence of the flat band eigenstate in both real and momentum spaces is essential for the proposed flat band, which is flexible at the appropriate match between the synthetic magnetic flux and non-Hermiticity. The proposed method is not limited to the 2D non-Hermitian Lieb lattice, and is applied to the 2D non-Hermitian Tasaki's decorated square lattice, dice lattice, and kagome lattice. Our findings make a step forward for the flat band engineering in 2D non-Hermitian optical lattices.

description: We present predictions for the interactions of energetic neutrinos with matter as they propagate through Earth towards large-volume detectors. Our results are based on state-of-the-art calculations of the high-energy neutrino-matter interaction cross-sections, which we have implemented in the HEDIS module of GENIE. In addition to the dominant interaction process, deep inelastic scattering off quarks and gluons, we include the relevant subdominant channels: (in)elastic scattering off the photon field of nucleons, coherent scattering off the photon field of nuclei, as well as the scattering on atomic electrons via the Glashow resonance. Our predictions for the neutrino attenuation rates are provided by a new software package, NuPropEarth. We quantify the dependence of our results on the cross-section model, including nuclear corrections, the incidence angle, and the spectral index, and compare them with other publicly available tools.

description: Climate change and heat stress are expected to worsen the issue of water scarcity that is affecting the agricultural sector, among others through increased crop prices and costs, in addition to changes in yields. A crop-mix optimisation model was developed that maximises Egypt’s net revenue while lightening the impacts of climatic change throughout the study period – from 2013 to 2030. The optimal cropping pattern was obtained through iteration of the model on an annual basis using the projected values of the following variables: yield, arable land, costs, prices and consumptive water use. The model is restricted by sets of constraints concerning water and land availability. These variables were projected under different climate-change scenarios using various modelling techniques. The model improves the cropping pattern in Egypt by favouring crops that achieve high profitability while using a small amount of water for irrigation and crops that have a comparative advantage in the above-mentioned variables, while decreasing all crops that are nonprofitable, that use a large amount of water for irrigation, and that are heat intolerant. As a result, the total net revenue is expected to double at the end of the term. The system of models integrated in this study establishes a platform for decision makers to examine different strategies and policies.

description: The unprecedented access offered by the World Wide Web brings with it the potential to gather huge amounts of data on human activities. Here we exploit this by using a toy model of financial markets, the Minority Game (MG), to investigate human speculative trading behaviour and information capacity. Hundreds of individuals have played a total of tens of thousands of game turns against computer-controlled agents in the Web-based_Interactive Minority Game_. The analytical understanding of the MG permits fine-tuning of the market situations encountered, allowing for investigation of human behaviour in a variety of controlled environments. In particular, our results indicate a transition in players' decision-making, as the markets become more difficult, between deductive behaviour making use of short-term trends in the market, and highly repetitive behaviour that ignores entirely the market history, yet outperforms random decision-making.

description: This paper analyses the extent to which an increase in food crop yield strengthens the relationship between agricultural commercialisation and rural poverty reduction in Burkina Faso. Based on data collected in 2011 from a sample of 1 178 smallholder farm households in rural Burkina Faso, a logit model, which includes an interaction term between crop commercialisation index and food crop yield, is estimated. The results show that, at a low yield of food crops, commercialisation can result in welfare loss, while the intensity of crop supply becomes a crucial factor of poverty reduction with a high level of yield. This suggests that structural transformation of the agricultural sector in Sub- Saharan Africa has the potential to bring about significant growth in rural income, particularly when staple crops are the driver of this transformation. Therefore, to enhance the contribution of agricultural commercialisation to poverty reduction, policy should also be designed to promote the growth of food crop yield.

description: Making data open is a task (particularly important) in Russia. Russian Sociological Data Archive (recently celebrated 6 years of work) considers this job as its main mission. Making data open stimulates some important processes providing development of knowledge communities in Russia. 1. It encourages horizontal links between researchers. Russian scholars always suffer from lack of regular interpersonal connections. Sharing of data breaks dissociation of Russian scientific society and stimulates emerging of research networks. 2. It increases quality of research. If one is to share collected data, s/he aims to do the best to follow the high methodological standards. On the other hand, analysis of trusted open data provides better base for further development of research. 3. Provision of empirical materials for teaching students in social and political science. Easily accessible trusted data improve analytical skills of the students for their future as scholars.

description: The $^{11}$B($^3$He$, t$), $^{11}$B($d, d'$), and $^{11}$B($p, p'$) reactions were measured at forward scattering angles including $0^\circ$ to study the isovector and isoscalar spin-flip M1 strengths in $^{11}$B. The measured $^{11}$B($^3$He$, t$) cross sections were compared with the results of the distorted-wave impulse-approximation (DWIA) calculation, and the Gamow-Teller (GT) strengths for low-lying states in $^{11}$C were determined. The GT strengths were converted to the isovector spin-flip M1 strengths using the isobaric analog relations under the assumption of the isospin symmetry. The isoscalar spin-flip M1 strengths were obtained from the ($d, d'$) analysis by assuming that the shape of the collective transition form factor with the same $ΔJ^π$ is similar in the $^{11}$B($d, d'$) and $^{12}$C($d, d'$) reactions. The obtained isovector and isoscalar strengths were used in the DWIA calculations for the $^{11}$B($p, p'$) reaction. The DWIA calculation reasonably well explains the present $^{11}$B($p, p'$) result. However, the calculated cross section for the 8.92-MeV 3/2$^-_2$ state was significantly smaller than the experimental values. The transition strengths obtained in the shell-model calculations were found to be 20-50% larger than the experimental strengths. The transition strengths for the neutrino induced reactions were estimated by using the isovector and isoscalar spin-flip M1 strengths. The present results are quantitatively in agreement with the theoretical estimation discussing the axial isoscalar coupling in the neutrino scattering process, and are useful in the measurement of the stellar neutrinos using the neutral- and charged-current reactions on $^{11}$B.

description: The Community Rating System (CRS) was introduced to encourage community-level flood mitigation and increase household-level flood insurance uptake through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Using historical data of policies-in-force and flood damage claims from 1998-2014 for all NFIP communities in Alabama and Mississippi, we estimate the relationship between community participation in the CRS and the number of policies-in-force, as well on flood damage claims. We find a significant, positive, and generally increasing effect of CRS participation on insurance uptake. Reduced flood damage claims are found to be limited to communities with a very high level of CRS participation (Class 5) only.
Opening Access to Indigenous Data in Australia
Creators: name: Holloway, Sophie

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2007

description: The Australian Social Science Data Archive has decentralised its national role and developed a distributed model, with archive nodes established across our country. This distributed model allows nodes to specialise in data where access may be blocked, but there exists a critical mass of researchers who are able to open data, add value and ensure sustainability. One such data type is that of Indigenous data. The Indigenous population in Australia is small and highly disadvantaged. Data collected by government are treated with the utmost sensitivity to protect both the population and the government from criticism. But even within those groups working to improve the conditions of Australia's Indigenous population, there is a level of protectiveness and restrictiveness which sees data blocked to those outside the immediate network. This paper will investigate methods used in ASSDA's pilot project to get stakeholder buy-in and establish an open source of Indigenous data.

description: This paper provides estimates of the economic impacts of climate change and estimates the adaptation potential of the current Moroccan agricultural development and investment strategy, the Moroccan Green Plan (MGP). We develop a regionalised Morocco Computable General Equilibrium model to analyse the linkages of climate-induced productivity losses (gains) at the level of administrative and economic regions in Morocco. We model the climate change impacts as productivity shocks in the agricultural sector. The yield projections are for 2050, which we introduce with respect to a 2003 baseline. The results indicate no major differences between the climate change impacts without and with the MGP. With no MGP adaptation, GDP impacts range from -3.1% to +0.4%. When including the MGP targets, GDP impacts range from -2.9% to +0.43%. A potential cause for such results is the limited scope in terms of agricultural sector coverage of our MGP simulations owing to modelling and data constraints.

description: Very few studies of the agricultural sector’s adaptation to climate change have been conducted in Benin. This paper focuses on farmers’ perceptions and adaptation decisions in relation to climate change. A double hurdle model that includes a logit regression and a truncated negative binomial regression was developed using data from a survey of 200 farmers located in northern Benin. The results show that farmers’ perceptions of climate change support the macro-level evidence. The econometric results reveal that the most effective ways to increase the probability of adaptation are to secure land rights and support the creation and strengthening of local farm organisations. The most effective ways to increase the intensity of adaptation are to improve access to agricultural finances and extension. The findings of this study have several public policy implications for creating an enabling environment for adaptation to climate change in Benin.

description: We compute the emission of closed string radiation from homogeneous rolling tachyons. For an unstable decaying D$p$-brane the radiated energy is infinite to leading order for $p\leq 2$ and finite for $p>2$. The closed string state produced by a decaying brane is closely related to the state produced by D-instantons at a critical Euclidean distance from $t=0$. In the case of a D0 brane one can cutoff this divergence so that we get a finite energy final state which would be the state that the brane decays into.

description: In the last decade, hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites have emerged as a new type of semiconductor for photovoltaics and other optoelectronic applications. Unlike standard, tetrahedrally bonded semiconductors (e.g. Si and GaAs), the ionic thermal fluctuations in the halide perovskites (i.e. structural dynamics) are strongly coupled to the electronic dynamics. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain accurate and detailed knowledge about the nature of atomic motions within the crystal. This has proved to be challenging due to low thermal stability and the complex, temperature dependent structural phase sequence of the halide perovskites. Here, these challenges are overcome and a detailed analysis of the mode symmetries is provided in the low-temperature orthorhombic phase of methylammonium-lead iodide. Raman measurements using linearly- and circularly- polarized light at 1.16 eV excitation are combined with density functional perturbation theory (DFPT). By performing an iterative analysis of Raman polarization-orientation dependence and DFPT mode analysis, the crystal orientation is determined. Subsequently, accounting for birefringence effects detected using circularly polarized light excitation, the symmetries of all the observed Raman-active modes at 10 K are assigned.

0103-72.6: A New Oxygen-Rich Supernova Remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud

description: 0103$-$72.6, the second brightest X-ray supernova remnant (SNR) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), has been observed with the {\it Chandra X-Ray Observatory}. Our {\it Chandra} observation unambiguously resolves the X-ray emission into a nearly complete, remarkably circular shell surrounding bright clumpy emission in the center of the remnant. The observed X-ray spectrum for the central region is evidently dominated by emission from reverse shock-heated metal-rich ejecta. Elemental abundances in this ejecta material are particularly enhanced in oxygen and neon, while less prominent in the heavier elements Si, S, and Fe. We thus propose that 0103$-$72.6 is a new ``oxygen-rich'' SNR, making it only the second member of the class in the SMC. The outer shell is the limb-brightened, soft X-ray emission from the swept-up SMC interstellar medium. The presence of O-rich ejecta and the SNR's location within an H{\small II} region attest to a massive star core-collapse origin for 0103$-$72.6. The elemental abundance ratios derived from the ejecta suggest an $\sim$18 M$_{\odot}$ progenitor star.

description: Graphene is a 2D material that displays excellent electronic transport properties with prospective applications in many fields. Inducing and controlling magnetism in the graphene layer, for instance by proximity of magnetic materials, may enable its utilization in spintronic devices. This paper presents fabrication and detailed characterization of single-layer graphene formed on the surface of epitaxial FeRh thin films. The magnetic state of the FeRh surface can be controlled by temperature, magnetic field or strain due to interconnected order parameters. Characterization of graphene layers by X-ray Photoemission and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy, Low-Energy Ion Scattering, Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, and Low-Energy Electron Microscopy shows that graphene is single-layer, polycrystalline and covers more than 97% of the substrate. Graphene displays several preferential orientations on the FeRh(001) surface with unit vectors of graphene rotated by 30°, 15°, 11°, and 19° with respect to FeRh substrate unit vectors. In addition, the graphene layer is capable to protect the films from oxidation when exposed to air for several months. Therefore, it can be also used as a protective layer during fabrication of magnetic elements or as an atomically thin spacer, which enables incorporation of switchable magnetic layers within stacks of 2D materials in advanced devices.

description: Over the past decade, there has been an unprecedented international focus on improved quality and availability of medical care, which has reignited interest in clinical automation and drawn researchers toward novel solutions in the field of physiological closed-loop control systems (PCLCs). Today, multidisciplinary groups of expert scientists, engineers, clinicians, mathematicians, and policy-makers are combining their knowledge and experience to develop both the next generation of PCLC-based medical equipment and a collaborative commercial/academic infrastructure to support this rapidly expanding frontier. In the following article, we provide a robust introduction to the various aspects of this growing field motivated by the recent and ongoing work supporting two leading technologies: the artificial pancreas (AP) and automated anesthesia. Following a brief high-level overview of the main concepts in automated therapy and some relevant tools from systems and control theory, we explore -- separately -- the developments, challenges, state-of-the-art, and probable directions for AP and automated anesthesia systems. We then close the review with a consideration of the common lessons gleaned from these ventures and the implications they present for future investigations and adjacent research.

description: We have measured magnetotransport of the two-dimensional electron gas in a Hall bar geometry in the presence of small carrier density gradients. We find that the longitudinal resistances measured at both sides of the Hall bar interchange by reversing the polarity of the magnetic field. We offer a simple explanation for this effect and discuss implications for extracting conductivity flow diagrams of the integer quantum Hall effect.

Year: 2007

description: The aim of the paper is to present the qualitative data archive Medard. The archive has been based upon other similar institutions in the world, particularly upon the British Qualidata archive, and it was founded in order to provide archiving of qualitative data generated by research in the social sciences and humanities. The archive acquires, deposits and provides data exclusively in digital form. It is the only qualitative data archive not only in the Czech Republic, but in the whole region. However, many obstacles impede the use of qualitative data archiving in practice among researchers. The obstacles as well as forthcoming challenges will be discussed in the presentation.

description: In a standard interferometry experiment, one measures the phase difference between two paths by recombining the two wave packets on a beam-splitter. However, it has been recently recognized that the phase can also be estimated via local measurements, by using an ancillary particle in a known superposition state. In this work, we further analyse these protocols for different types of particles (bosons or fermions, charged or uncharged), with a particular emphasis on the subtleties that arise when the phase is due to the coupling to an abelian gauge field. In that case, we show that the measurable quantities are spacetime loop integrals of the 4-vector potential, enclosed by two identical particles or by a particle-antiparticle pair. Furthermore, we generalize our considerations to scenarios involving an arbitrary number of parties performing local measurements on a general charged fermionic state. Finally, as a concrete application, we analyse a recent proposal by Marletto and Vedral (arXiv:1906.03440) involving the time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm effect.

Displaying Survey Questionnaires to Data Users: Accuracy versus Clarity
Creators: name: Hughes, Graham
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2007

description: This session will provide a practical demonstration of a web resource, the ESRC Question Bank (Qb), which displays survey questionnaires and methodologies. In the past year the Qb has undergone extensive redesign to improve its usefulness. This demonstration will have two key aims: firstly to examine what the Qb is and how it may be used in conjunction with other data resources, secondly to show how it may be used to examine different questionnaire documentation styles and make comparisons between them. Two particular issues arising from the facilities in CAPI programs (mainly Blaise in the UK) will be discussed:nbsp; routing and control checks. The variety of solutions to the problems of reporting these functions adopted by survey agencies will be highlighted. This will be interpreted from the viewpoint of the secondary analyst, making clear the need for DDI standards in this area.
Universal conductance fluctuations in non-integer dimensions

Year: 2003

description: We propose an Ansatz for Universal conductance fluctuations in continuous dimensions from 0 up to 4. The Ansatz agrees with known formulas for integer dimensions 1, 2 and 3, both for hard wall and periodic boundary conditions. The method is based solely on the knowledge of energy spectrum and standard assumptions. We also study numerically the conductance fluctuations in 4D Anderson model, depending on system size L and disorder W. We find a small plateau with a value diverging logarithmically with increasing L. Universality gets lost just in 4D.
