description: We review the annihilation of dark matter into neutrinos over a range of dark matter masses from MeV$/c^2$ to ZeV$/c^2$. Thermally-produced models of dark matter are expected to self-annihilate to standard model products. As no such signal has yet been detected, we turn to neutrino detectors to constrain the ``most invisible channel.'' We review the experimental techniques that are used to detect neutrinos, and revisit the expected contributions to the neutrino flux at current and upcoming neutrino experiments. We place updated constraints on the dark matter self-annhilation cross section to neutrinos $\langle σv \rangle$ using the most recently available data, and forecast the sensitivity of upcoming experiments such as Hyper-Kamiokande, DUNE, and IceCube Gen-2. Where possible, limits and projections are scaled to a single set of dark matter halo parameters for consistent comparison. We consider Galactic and extragalactic signals of $s$, $p$, and $d$-wave annihilation processes directly into neutrino pairs, yielding constraints that range from $\langle σv \rangle \sim 2.5\times10^{-26}~{\rm cm}^3 {\rm s}^{-1}$ at 30 MeV$/c^2$ to $10^{-17}~{\rm cm}^3{\rm s}^{-1}$ at 10$^{11}$ GeV$/c^2$. Experiments that report directional and energy information of their events provide much stronger constraints, outlining the importance of making such data public.

Single and vertically coupled type II quantum dots in a perpendicular magnetic field: exciton groundstate properties

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The properties of an exciton in a type II quantum dot are studied under the influence of a perpendicular applied magnetic field. The dot is modelled by a quantum disk with radius $R$, thickness $d$ and the electron is confined in the disk, whereas the hole is located in the barrier. The exciton energy and wavefunctions are calculated using a Hartree-Fock mesh method. We distinguish two different regimes, namely $d<<2R$ (the hole is located at the radial boundary of the disk) and $d>>2R$ (the hole is located above and below the disk), for which angular momentum $(l)$ transitions are predicted with increasing magnetic field. We also considered a system of two vertically coupled dots where now an extra parameter is introduced, namely the interdot distance $d_{z}$. For each $l_{h}$ and for a sufficient large magnetic field, the ground state becomes spontaneous symmetry broken in which the electron and the hole move towards one of the dots. This transition is induced by the Coulomb interaction and leads to a magnetic field induced dipole moment. No such symmetry broken ground states are found for a single dot (and for three vertically coupled symmetric quantum disks). For a system of two vertically coupled truncated cones, which is asymmetric from the start, we still find angular momentum transitions. For a symmetric system of three vertically coupled quantum disks, the system resembles for small $d_{z}$ the pillar-like regime of a single dot, where the hole tends to stay at the radial boundary, which induces angular momentum transitions with increasing magnetic field. For larger $d_{z}$ the hole can sit between the disks and the $l_{h}=0$ state remains the groundstate for the whole $B$-region.

Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)

description: We describe a procedure to deform cubulations of hyperbolic groups by "bending hyperplanes". Our construction is inspired by related constructions like Thurston's Mickey Mouse example, walls in fibred hyperbolic $3$-manifolds and free-by-$\mathbb Z$ groups, and Hsu-Wise turns. As an application, we show that every cocompactly cubulated Gromov-hyperbolic group admits a proper, cocompact, essential action on a ${\rm CAT}(0)$ cube complex with a single orbit of hyperplanes. This answers (in the negative) a question of Wise, who proved the result in the case of free groups. We also study those cubulations of a general group $G$ that are not susceptible to trivial deformations. We name these "bald cubulations" and observe that every cocompactly cubulated group admits at least one bald cubulation. We then apply the hyperplane-bending construction to prove that every cocompactly cubulated hyperbolic group $G$ admits infinitely many bald cubulations, provided $G$ is not a virtually free group with ${\rm Out}(G)$ finite. By contrast, we show that the Burger-Mozes examples each admit a unique bald cubulation.

description: In the last decade, there have been significant changes in the economic focus in Dominica, particularly with respect to changes in trade access for key agricultural commodities. This study examined opportunities for exporting yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) from Dominica. The fisheries sector is identified as an under-exploited resource of Dominica, having significant capacity for foreign exchange earnings, evidenced by an increasing trend in yellowfin tuna harvest, and attractive prices on both domestic and international markets for this product. The study assessed the historical and current trade in yellowfin tuna and reviewed the prospects of the market for high-valued agricultural products. Finally, this study reviewed Dominica’s ability to meet existing and proposed marketing and trade requirements, as well as the institutional and other factors that are in place, and those needed to provide continued support to increasing trade of this commodity.

Cosmological Models With Variable G an Lambda and Bulk viscosity

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have analyzed a nonsingular model with a variable cosmological term following the Carvalho {\it et al}. ansatz. The model was shown to approximate to the model of Freese {\it et al}. in one direction and to the Özer-Taha in the other. We have then included the effect of viscosity in this cosmology, as this effect has not been considered before. The analysis showed that this viscous effect could be important with a present contribution to the cosmic pressure, at most, of order of that of radiation. The model puts a stronger upper bound on the baryonic matter than that required by the standard model. A variable gravitational and cosmological constant were then introduced in a scenario which conserves the energy and momentum in the presence of bulk viscosity. The result of the analysis reveals that various models could be viscous. A noteworthy result is that some nonsingular closed models evolve asymptotically into a singular viscous one. The considered models solve for many of the standard model problems. Though the introduction of bulk viscosity results in the creation of particles, this scenario conserves energy and momentum. As in the standard model the entropy remains constant. We have not explained the generation of bulk viscosity but some workers attributes this to neutrinos. Though the role of viscosity today is minute it could, nevertheless, have had an important contribution at early times. We have shown that these models encompass many of the old and recently proposed models, in particular, Brans-Dicke, Dirac, Freese {\it et al}., Berman, Abdel Rahman and Kalligas {\it et al}. models. Hence we claim that the introduction of bulk viscosity enriches the adopted cosmology.

On the Existence and Computation of Minimum Attention Optimal Control Laws

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Brockett's minimum attention functional \cite{Brockett} has been proposed as one means of capturing the cost of control implementation--regarded here as the rate of change of the control with respect to both state and time--for general nonlinear control systems, with applications ranging from human motor control to robotics. The main challenge in forging the minimum attention paradigm into a practical control design methodology is that the existence of solutions is not always assured, and finding numerical solutions is also difficult. In this paper we prove that, under the assumption of a control that is the sum of a time-varying feedforward term and a time-varying feedback term linear in the state, existence of a solution can be guaranteed. Under these assumptions we appeal to the Liouville equation representation of a nonlinear control system and derive the associated first-order optimality conditions. The one-shot method is then used to prove the existence of a solution and also to iteratively compute a solution. Our methodology is illustrated with an example involving a two degree-of-freedom robot arm.

description: The food-retailing sector globally is undergoing tremendous change. In the Caribbean the changes appear to be unnoticed by academics, policy makers and development agencies. Supermarkets possibly are gaining market share at the expense of the traditional outlets utilized by small farmers. The organizational and institutional changes offer both opportunities and challenges for small farmers, the group that contributes the largest share of agricultural production in the Caribbean Region. Access to supermarket procurement systems, given their stringent quality and quantity requirements, is seen as the major challenge confronting small farmers. Ensuring them access to supermarket procurement systems is necessary if supermarkets are increasing in importance in Caribbean agri-food markets. This paper attempts to evaluate the importance of supermarkets in the Caribbean using data from Trinidad and Tobago and highlight some of the challenges that might confront small farmers during this period of tremendous change.

description: Control of the effective local hyperfine fields in a conjugated polymer, poly[2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEHPPV), by isotopic engineering is reported. These fields, evident as a frequency-independent line broadening mechanism in electrically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopy (EDMR), originate from the unresolved hyperfine coupling between the electronic spin of charge carrier pairs and the nuclear spins of surrounding hydrogen isotopes. The room temperature study of effects caused by complete deuteration of this polymer through magnetoresistance, magnetoelectroluminescence, coherent pulsed and multi-frequency EDMR, as well as inverse spin-Hall effect measurements, confirm the weak hyperfine broadening of charge carrier magnetic resonance lines. As a consequence, we can resolve coherent charge-carrier spin-beating, allowing for direct measurements of the magnitude of electronic spin-spin interactions. In addition, the weak hyperfine coupling allows us to resolve substantial spin-orbit coupling effects in EDMR spectra, even at low magnetic field strengths. These results illustrate the dramatic influence of hyperfine fields on the spin physics of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) materials at room temperature, and point to routes to reaching exotic ultra-strong resonant-drive regimes needed for the study of light-matter interactions.

The exact ground state phase diagrams in a plane 'electron density - on-site interaction' have been studied for several values of a hard-core radius. It is shown that superconducting phase and strongly interacting Luttinger liquid state are coexisted at a high electron density and unusually high value of repulsive on-site Coulomb interaction.

description: We solve the condundrum on whether the molecules of the Reissner-Nordström black hole interact through the Ruppeiner thermodynamic geometry, basing our study on the concept of the black hole molecule proposed in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115 (2015) 111302] and choosing the appropriate extensive variables. Our results show that the Reissner-Nordström black hole is indeed an interaction system that may be dominated by repulsive interaction. More importantly, with the help of a novel quantity, namely the thermal-charge density, we describe the fine micro-thermal structures of the Reissner-Nordström black hole in detail. Three different phases are presented, namely the free, interactive, and balanced phases. The thermal-charge density plays a role similar to the order parameter, and the back hole undergoes a new phase transition between the free phase and interactive phase. The competition between the free phase and interactive phase exists, which leads to extreme behavior of the temperature of the Reissner-Nordström black hole. For the extreme Reissner-Nordström black hole, the entire system is completely in the interactive phase. More importantly, we provide the thermodynamic micro-mechanism for the formation of the naked singularity of the Reissner-Nordström black hole.

description: We address the problem of complementing higher-order patterns without repetitions of existential variables. Differently from the first-order case, the complement of a pattern cannot, in general, be described by a pattern, or even by a finite set of patterns. We therefore generalize the simply-typed lambda-calculus to include an internal notion of strict function so that we can directly express that a term must depend on a given variable. We show that, in this more expressive calculus, finite sets of patterns without repeated variables are closed under complement and intersection. Our principal application is the transformational approach to negation in higher-order logic programs.

description: We report an unusual buildup of the quantum coherence in a qubit subjected to non-Hermitian evolution generated by a Parity-Time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric Hamiltonian, which is reinterpreted as a Hermitian system in a higher dimensional space using Naimark dilation. The coherence is found to be maximum about the exceptional points (EPs), i.e., the points of coalescence of the eigenvalues as well as the eigenvectors. The nontrivial physics about EPs has been observed in various systems, particularly in photonic systems. As a consequence of enhancement in coherence, the various formulations of Leggett-Garg inequality tests show maximal violation about the EPs.

description: In this paper, we analyze poverty traps that emerge because farmers are unable to afford the adoption and retention of higher-productivity technologies that are risky and require lumpy investments. Although access to deposit facilities and credit play an important role in breaking up poverty traps, farmers' stage in the life cycle and underlying market conditions like credit limits and interest rates on deposits and loans determine the effect of the financial policies. First, our numerical results show that in economies with scant financial development (stringent loan-size limits and large gap between interest rates), the access to only savings deposits represents a superior policy (relative to only access to credit) to increase the sustained adoption of advanced technologies and that its effectiveness is even higher when the target population is young. Additionally, the results indicate that only if the demographic structure is young and farmers have simultaneous access to both deposit facilities and credit, full financial transformation can be achieved through credit expansion. Otherwise, the effects of larger credit-limits vanish. Finally, the results indicate that policies of loan rates in credit-constrained economies have null effects on technology transformation, irrespective of the demographic structure. In contrast, sustained adoption rates increase with higher deposit rates, in young and credit-constrained economies. In aging economies, however, an opposite effect can be realized due to substitution between the yields of deposits and of the advanced technology.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Recent statistical studies suggest yields for major U.S. food crops will dramatically decrease under climate change due to the rise of extreme temperatures over the growing season. However, these results do not account for changes in the crop mix, therefore overestimating potential damages to the sector. In this study we seek to determine how the crop mix and growing regions would shift in response to climate change. The paper develops a dynamic multinomial discrete choice framework to model adaptation to climate change through crop choice. A major innovation of this study is the construction of a very large high-resolution data set for the econometric analysis and the computational procedure developed to obtain estimates. We combine data on crop cover (USDA Cropland Data Layer (CDL), 30*30 meter resolution) and climate variables (PRISM, 4*4 km resolution) for the study region, matched with crop prices and production costs at regional level. The data set provides billions of spatial units from which we sample for the spatial analysis. The main advantage of such an extensive and detailed data set is the careful consideration of the spatial heterogeneity within counties. The generality of our empirical framework allows prediction of crop choices at field level under various climate change scenarios. The preliminary empirical results show that both market state variables (yields, prices, and costs) and crop state variables (related to crop rotations) are important predictors of farmers' crop choice at field level.

description: Despite the intuitive appeal of precision farming, adoption of precision technology options has been well below expectations. A review of precision farming studies suggests as expected that precision farming becomes more profitable as in-field spatial variability increases. However, no studies have attempted to quantify infield variability at any reasonable scale beyond a few experimental fields. This study contributes to the assessment of precision farming by introducing an approach that can help characterize the relative profitability of precision farming methods as compared to conventional farming. Using readily available geographic information systems databases on crop cover, soil type, and weather, we assess the viability of precision nitrogen applications on corn in Buchanan County, Iowa. We find little evidence for viability of precision nitrogen applications in contrast to uniform application rates, largely because of the lack of significant in-field spatial variability in soil types.

description: Prolonged drought in the Southern Great Plains of the USA in recent years has raised concerns about vulnerability of beef cattle grazing systems under adverse climate change. To help address the economic viability of beef grazing operations in the Southern Great Plains, this paper provides an economic assessment of beef grazing systems under baseline and prolonged drought situations comparable to the 2011 drought in this region. A coupled economic and environmental modeling system was used to determine the impacts of the prolonged drought scenario on the net incomes of beef grazing systems. The results of the model simulations support the conclusion that prolonged drought of the extent witnessed in recent years would be financially detrimental to beef grazing operations, unless viable mitigation measures are implemented. Beef grazing operations are projected to lose at least a third and in some cases close to half of net incomes when faced with prolonged drought weather patterns.

description: We study the abelian color flux of two- and three-quark systems in the maximally abelian gauge in lattice QCD with dynamical fermions. We find that the abelian flux tube formed between quark and antiquark is very much the same as in quenched QCD up to quark separations of $R$$\sim$ 2fm. The profile of the color electric field in three-quark system suggests $Y$ ansatz, which might be interpreted as the result of the vacuum pressure in the confined phase. In order to clarify the flux structure, we investigate the color electric field of the three-quark system splittting the abelian gauge field into the monopole and photon parts.

description: Using a nonparametric framework, we analyse the impact of dynamic profit maximization on biodiversity for a sample of UK cereal farms for the year 2007. Recognizing the drawbacks of directly implementing biodiversity as an output or input in a distance function framework, we only consider inputs and outputs that are clear choice variables from the firm’s perspective. We use a dynamic, intertemporal profit function to take into account adjustment costs. We assess how dynamic profit maximization may shift land use allocation and, as a consequence, the Shannon index for crop diversification. Doing so allows us to calculate the shadow prices of crop diversification in a novel way that is consistent with the dynamic theory of the firm.

description: L’informatrice débute l’enquête en exposant les difficultés qu’elle a rencontrées lorsqu’elle a donné le sein pour la première fois. Elle poursuit en donnant la durée de l’allaitement pour chacun de ses enfants. L’enquêtrice demande à l’informatrice si elle a noté des différences entre les filles et les garçons au niveau de l’allaitement. L’informatrice pense que cette différence existe, par exemple les filles auraient faim dès la naissance. L’informatrice explique qu’avant la première tétée, on donne au nouveau-né du jus de datte et du beurre. Elle précise également que si l’enfant a mal au ventre, on peut lui donner un peu de soufre en poudre. L’enquêtrice lui demande si elle a été séparée de ses enfants à la naissance. L’informatrice répond que ça n’a pas été le cas car elle a toujours accouché à son domicile. L’enquêtrice introduit ensuite les questions sur le colostrum. L’informatrice lui attribue la couleur jaune mais elle n’en connaît pas le goût. Elle explique que le colostrum renforce les défenses immunitaires de l’enfant. Elle précise ensuite que le colostrum dure trois jours, avant la montée de lait. La provenance et la production du colostrum ainsi que les prescriptions coraniques sur l’allaitement sont évoquées. L’informatrice explique sa manière de donner le sein et évoque les frères et sœurs de lait liés par colostrum. L’informatrice énumère ensuite une série de plats et d’aliments consommés par les mères pour favoriser la montée de lait. Le déroulement de l’accouchement et les premiers soins donnés à la naissance sont évoqués. L’informatrice explique que la mère doit attendre quarante jours avant reprendre les relations sexuelles avec son mari. À la fin de l’enquête, l’informatrice donne son point de vue sur la mortalité infantile chez les enfants de moins d'un an et termine sur le colostrum animal qui n’est pas donné aux nourrissons mais par les adultes. En revanche, elle précise que l’on peut leur donner du lait de chèvre.
Probing the Missing Link between the Diffuse Interstellar Bands and the Total-to-Selective Extinction Ratio $R_V$ $-$ I. Extinction versus Reddening

description: The carriers of the still (mostly) unidentified diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have been a long-standing mystery ever since their first discovery exactly 100 years ago. In recent years, the ubiquitous detection of a large number of DIBs in a wide range of Galactic and extragalactic environments has led to renewed interest in connecting the occurrence and properties of DIBs to the physical and chemical conditions of the interstellar clouds, with particular attention paid to whether the DIB strength is related to the shape of the interstellar extinction curve. To shed light on the nature and origin of the DIB carriers, we investigate the relation between the DIB strength and $R_V$, the total-to-selective extinction ratio, which characterizes how the extinction varies with wavelength (i.e., the shape of the extinction curve). We find that the DIB strength and $R_V$ are not related if we represent the strength of a DIB by its reddening-normalized equivalent width (EW), in contrast to the earlier finding of an anticorrelation in which the DIB strength is measured by the extinction-normalized EW. This raises a fundamental question about the appropriate normalization for the DIB EW.

description: Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) loaded by Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam. were synthesized using the method of high shear homogenization and ultra sound. The lipid phase consisted of percirol ATO5 and campritol 888 (5% w/v). Poloxamer 188 (2.5% w/v) was used as surfactant. Different amount of essential oil (1, 2, 2.5% w/v) were added to SLN. Particle size of solid lipid nanoparticle loaded by essential oil (2.5%) (SLN-EO) was 241.1 nm with poly dispersity index (PDI) of 0.312 and Zeta potential – 22.6 mv. Entrapment efficiency of SLN-EO (2.5%) was 93%. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study showed the spherical particles with the size under 100 nm. Based on the results of fumigant toxicity, the LC50 values of SLN-EO and pure oil against Tribolium castaneum were 30.602 and 68.303 µL. L air−1, respectively. These results demonstrated that SLN-EO had higher toxicity effects on red flour beetles. The comparative assessment of persistence indicated SLN-EO formulation remained effective until 14 days, while the pure oil lost its toxicity after the 8th day of application. Chemical composition of Ziziphoraclinopodioides showed that pulegone (51.78%), 1, 8- cineole (8.95%), p- menthone (7.74%) and piperitenone (5.7%) were the major components.
