description: Introdução: Não sendo exclusivas de glaucoma, as hemorragias do disco óptico são típicas desta patologia - hemorragias de Drance (HD), revelam-se em até 30% dos doentes e antecipam defeito em cunha no anel neuro-retiniano (ANR) e consequente alteração dos campos visuais (CV), sendo factores de risco de progressão glaucomatosa. A retinografia amplia a detecção das HD, que podem passar despercebidas à fundoscopia. Estudos consideram que o tratamento mé- dico é ineficaz na alteração da incidência das HD e que a cirurgia filtrante pode reduzir a rápida degradação dos CV, após HD e sua recorrência. Material, métodos e resultados: Os autores descrevem caso clínico de doente com glaucoma primário de ângulo aberto bilateral, desenvolvendo no olho direito, previamente sem alterações perimétricas, degradação rápida e grave do campo visual para escotoma arciforme superior den- so, associada a hemorragia do disco óptico ínfero-temporal e notch inferior, apesar de pressões intra-oculares controladas sob timolol, bimatoprost e brinzolamida. Foi submetido a cirurgia filtrante não perfurante, permitindo a estabilização clínica e perimétrica, e desaparecimento, sem recorrência, das HD. Discussão e Conclusão: A ocorrência de HD alerta para o risco de progressão e rápida degra- dação dos CV, mesmo com pressões intra-oculares (PIO) estatisticamente normais sob efeito terapêutico. Esse valor de pressão será demasiado alto para o nervo óptico, necessitando, para além de vigilância mais apertada, tratamento mais agressivo, como a cirurgia filtrante, reservada aos casos de rápida progressão, para maior redução e menor flutuação da PIO, redução da rápida degradação dos CV e recorrência das HD. A retinografia é fundamental no diagnóstico das HD, ampliando a sua detecção.

description: Food industry is one of the branches that have the most potential in the Republic of Serbia. Small and medium companies (SMEs) in food industry can improve its competitive ability on the basis of clustering - entrepreneurs get what they had previously lacked: new knowledge, new technology, better access to credit lines, easier market performance, and completion of the production cycle, from primary producers to sell. Creating a cluster corresponds to primary producers who want to gain confidence in manufacturing and its placement. By combining the final clusters or provide the raw material whose quality can be affected.

description: The subject matter of this paper is empirical investigation of the decisions of public policy making on the issue of arable land ownership during the two centuries of Serbian agricultural development. The goal of this investigation was to shed new light on the causes of long term economic backwardness of The Republic of Serbia. Following relevant historical facts that are incorporated in this work, we found constant and common factor to all historical phases of the development of land property rights. Our hypothesis was that frequent and insufficiently transparent changes of land property relations have always negatively affected economic activity because they left no time for strengthening the legal security of property owners. The result of our study is that the problem of ambiguity definition of land property rights in Serbian legislation has created room for inconsistencies in the implementation of agrarian reforms after the First and the Second World War. Special attention is paid to current changes in land ownership that take place within the process of denationalization and restitution of property seized after World War II, which are very slow and also inconsistent themselves.

description: Il colle Palecastro di Tortora (CS) si affaccia sul Golfo di Policastro ed è caratterizzato da un plateau sommitale che si sviluppa per ca. 5 ha ad una quota massima di 115 m s.l.m. Gli scavi condotti sul Palecastro dal 1990 al 2006 hanno consentito di ricostruire le dinamiche insediative che hanno interessato il sito a partire dal VI sec. a.C. fino al V sec. d.C. Dal 2016 al 2019 il Palecastro di Tortora è stato oggetto di nuove indagini condotte dal Dipartimento di Civiltà Antiche e Moderne dell’Università degli studi di Messina, sotto la direzione del Prof. F. Mollo, volte a chiarire e ad approfondire caratteristiche e funzionalità delle strutture del Foro di Blanda. Gli interventi messi in atto hanno permesso di aggiungere nuovi dati alle conoscenze delle fasi di vita del Foro nonché dei primi insediamenti sviluppatisi sul colle. The Palecastro hill (Tortora, CS) faces the Policastro Gulf and is characterized by a plateau that extends for approx. 5 ha at a maximum altitude of 115 m a.s.l. The excavations carried out on the Palecastro from 1990 to 2006 made it possible to reconstruct the settlement dynamics that have interested the site since the sixth century. B.C. up to the fifth century A.D. From 2016 to 2019 the Palecastro of Tortora has been the subject of new excavations carried out by the Department of Ancient and Modern Civilizations of the University of Messina, under the direction of Prof. F. Mollo. The new research aimed at better understanding the characteristics and functionality of the structures of the Forum of Blanda. The interventions allowed us to add new data to the knowledge of the stages of life of the Forum as well as of the first settlements that developed on the hill.

description: Blazars are currently separated into BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs) and flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQ) based on the strength of their emission lines. This is done rather arbitrarily by defining a diagonal line in the Ca H&K break value -- equivalent width plane, following Marcha et al. We readdress this problem and put the classification scheme for blazars on firm physical grounds. We study ~100 blazars and radio galaxies from the Deep X-ray Radio Blazar Survey (DXRBS) and 2 Jy radio survey and find a significant bimodality for the narrow emission line [OIII] 5007. This suggests the presence of two physically distinct classes of radio-loud AGN. We show that all radio-loud AGN, blazars and radio galaxies, can be effectively separated into weak- and strong-lined sources using the [OIII] 5007 -- [OII] 3727 equivalent width plane. This plane allows one to disentangle orientation effects from intrinsic variations in radio-loud AGN. Based on DXRBS, the strongly beamed sources of the new class of weak-lined radio-loud AGN are made up of BL Lacs at the ~75 per cent level, whereas those of the strong-lined radio-loud AGN include mostly (~97 per cent) quasars.

LO STATO E L’ETICA. IL CARTEGGIO DI FELICE BATTAGLIA CON BENEDETTO CROCE (1927-1951)
Creators: name: Russo, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: PELORO
Year: 2021

description: Il saggio ricostruisce criticamente la polemica sulla filosofia dello Stato intercorsa, negli anni Trenta e Quaranta del Novecento, tra Benedetto Croce e Felice Battaglia: assertore, il primo, negli Elementi di politica (1925), della riduzione economicistica dello Stato; sostenitore, il secondo, negli Scritti di teoria dello Stato (1939), dell’eticità di esso. Si considera inoltre Diritto e filosofia della pratica (1931), contributo nel quale il pensatore palmese ha tentato di riformare sia la dialettica gentiliana degli opposti contraddittori sia il nesso crociano dei distinti concreti, elaborando una nuova dialettica degli opposti contrari, che poggia sull’ethos o giuridicità essenziale, categoria identificata da Battaglia con lo stesso Stato, nel fondamentale lavoro del 1935 su La concezione speculativa dello Stato. In appendice si pubblica il carteggio finora inedito tra Croce e Battaglia. The purpose of this essay is to outline the theoretical debate between Benedetto Croce and Felice Battaglia on the Philosophy of the State. Occurred mainly throughout the Thirties and the Forties, it opposed Croce’s economic theory of the State, as enunciated in his Elementi di politica (1925), and the ethical State theory, as asserted in Battaglia’s Scritti di teoria dello Stato (1939). The paper deals as well with Battaglia’s previous work Diritto e filosofia della pratica (1931), wherein the Calabrian philosopher analysed neo-idealistic dialectics, both Gentilian’s dialectics of contradictory opposites and Crocean’s nexus of concrete distincts. The scrutiny of neo-idealistic dialectics inspired the elaboration of a new dialectics of contrary opposites, based on the concept of the ethos – i.e. the essential lawfulness – that would later be identified with the State itself in Battaglia’s fundamental essay La concezione speculativa dello Stato (1935). The essay also introduces the private correspondence between Battaglia and Croce.

On quantum operations of photon subtraction and photon addition

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The conventional photon subtraction and photon addition transformations, $\varrho \rightarrow t a \varrho a^†$ and $\varrho \rightarrow t a^† \varrho a$, are not valid quantum operations for any constant $t>0$ since these transformations are not trace nonincreasing. For a fixed density operator $\varrho$ there exist fair quantum operations, ${\cal N}_{-}$ and ${\cal N}_{+}$, whose conditional output states approximate the normalized outputs of former transformations with an arbitrary accuracy. However, the uniform convergence for some classes of density operators $\varrho$ has remained essentially unknown. Here we show that, in the case of photon addition operation, the uniform convergence takes place for the energy-second-moment-constrained states such that ${\rm tr}[\varrho H^2] \leq E_2 < \infty$, $H = a^†a$. In the case of photon subtraction, the uniform convergence takes place for the energy-second-moment-constrained states with nonvanishing energy, i.e., the states $\varrho$ such that ${\rm tr}[\varrho H] \geq E_1 >0$ and ${\rm tr}[\varrho H^2] \leq E_2 < \infty$. We prove that these conditions cannot be relaxed and generalize the results to the cases of multiple photon subtraction and addition.

TRA SAPIENS E DEMENS: ALLA RISCOPERTA DELL’UOMO INTERO PERDUTO
Creators: name: Giorgianni, Emanuela
Publisher: name: PELORO
Year: 2021

description: Una lunga tradizione scientifica e filosofica considera l’essere umano il trionfo assoluto della razionalità, escludendone passioni, sogni ed emozioni, ritenuti elementi irrazionali da trattenere e nascondere. L’uomo è l’homo sapiens per eccellenza. L’obiettivo dello scritto è mettere in luce le problematicità di una riflessione di questo tipo, che impoverisce l’uomo, lo scinde in parti e lo priva della sua storicità; ed evidenziare, invece, il valore fondamentale rivestito da quella parte demens, dalle sue emozioni, tanto per l’agire umano quanto per l’agire della Storia. A indicare il percorso sarà il pensiero di Edgar Morin e la sua epistemologia della complessità, intrecciata alla storia del robot Andrew, protagonista de L’uomo bicentenario di Asimov; metafora di un cammino di ricerca della propria individualità, compiuto tanto dal robot della narrazione fantascientifica tanto dall’essere umano. A long scientific and philosophical tradition considers the human being the absolute triumph of rationality, excluding passions, dreams and emotions, considered irrational elements to be retained and hided. The human being is homo sapiens par excellence. The objective of the essay is highlighting the problems of a reflection of this type, which impoverishes the human being, splits him into parts and deprives him of his historicity; and underlining, instead, the fundamental value covered by that demens’ part, by emotions, for human action as much as for the action of history. The route will be traced by Edgar Morin’s thought and his epistemology of complexity, intertwined with the story of the robot Andrew, main character of Asimov’s Bicentennial Man; metaphor of a journey of research of one’s own individuality, accomplished as much by the robot of the science fiction narrative as by the human being.

description: Genus Pseudochrysogorgia n. gen.
 TYPE SPECIES. — Pseudochrysogorgia bellona n. gen., n. sp.
 ETYMOLOGY. — Th e greek prefix “pseudo”, meaning “false” or “fake”, is appended to Chrysogorgia in allusion to the morphological resemblance between this new taxon and the established Chrysogorgia. Th is resemblance is reflected by the morphology-based parsimony analysis, in which Pseudochrysogorgia n. gen. appears most closely related to Chrysogorgia rather than Metallogorgia, its sister taxon based on genetics (Fig. 8). Therefore, this combination was chosen over a combination involving Metallogorgia because misidentification of this new taxon for Chrysogorgia is more likely than misidentification for Metallogorgia. Gender is feminine.
DIAGNOSIS. — The colony is bottlebrush-shaped, and its main axis is monopodial, slightly zigzagging. Branches are subdividing dichotomously in multiple planes. Branch subdivision occurs at a relatively constant angle averaging 120°, resulting in hexagonal patterns. Over half of the polyps are leaning distad. Th e neck can be narrower than the head. On average, polyps are as wide as they are tall. Sclerites are slightly ornamented, in the form of plates, scales and rods. When the polyp is not leaning distad, sclerites are arranged obliquely on the polyp body. When polyps are leaning distad, sclerites are 1) mostly longitudinally arranged (parallel to the branch) on the polyp body, 2) placed obliquely in the area of the neck, and 3) longitudinally arranged on the head and along the back of the tentacles. The branch coenenchyme contains sclerites in the form of scales and plates that are mostly parallel to main branch axis.

description: Ground beef consumption in the United States accounts for over half of total beef consumption and is included in a variety of products from tacos to chili to hamburgers (Greene 2012; National Cattlemen’s Beef Association 2009, 2012; Peel, 2012). The importance of ground beef to U.S. consumers is reflected in the number of restaurants that include hamburgers on their menus as well as the different types of hamburgers offered. Despite the slow economic recovery that has been occurring over the past few years, quick-service restaurants focusing on serving quality hamburgers have been expanding across the country. This is in addition to better known chains such as McDonald’s and Wendy’s periodically updating their hamburger offerings to boost sales which reflects the latest trends present among consumers. Although ground beef consumption accounts for over half of total beef consumption, it accounts for approximately a quarter of the beef produced from each steer or heifer carcass (Nold, 2012) and a much larger percentage of harvested cows. Additional ground beef is produced by grinding primal chuck and round cuts, but these are more expensive. Compared to the 1970s, domestic beef demand dropped as consumer demand shifted toward leaner protein sources, namely chicken. Although the number of cattle in the U.S. has declined since the 1970s, increased efficiency has contributed to an increase in total U.S. beef production. The primary source of lean ground beef is not from feedlot finished cattle, but from mature cows and bulls slaughtered and from imported lean beef trimmings. Supplies of mature cows and bulls are limited compared to feedlot finished cattle, as an average of 6.3 million cows and bulls have been slaughtered under federal inspection annually since 2000 compared to 27.4 million steers and heifers.

description: We present a first-principles study of the surface magnetism induced by Cr, Mn, Fe and Co adatoms on the (111) surfaces of Rh, Pd, Ag, Ir, Pt and Au. We first describe how the different contributions to the surface magnetism enter the magnetic stray field, with special attention paid to the induced orbital moments. Then we present results for the spin and orbital magnetic moments of the adatoms, and for the induced surface spin and orbital magnetic moments, the latter being further divided into atomic and inter-atomic contributions. We investigate how the surface magnetism is determined by the chemical nature of the elements involved, such as the filling of the magnetic d-orbitals of the adatoms and the properties of the itinerant electrons at the surface (whether they are sp- or d-like, and whether the spin-orbit interaction is relevant), and how it is modified if the magnetic adatoms are brought together to form a cluster, with Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co trimers on Pt(111) as an example. We also explore the impact of computational approximations, such as the distance between the adatom and the Pt(111) surface, or confinement effects due to the finite thickness of the slab used to model it. Our discussion of the magnetic stray field generated by a single adatom and its environment suggests a possible way of disentangling the induced surface magnetism from the adatom one, which could be feasible with scanning NV-center microscopy.

description: Few studies have systematically evaluated the risk of adverse events (AEs) among persons exercising during oncological treatment. We aimed to describe incidence and types of AEs during exercise for persons undergoing oncological treatment, and associations to exercise intensity, exercise adherence, chemotherapy treatment, initial aerobic fitness. A second aim was to compare incidence of lymphedema, periphery inserted central catheter (PICC) complications, and other new medical conditions (any illness or injury occurred during the exercise trial) between high-intensity vs low-to-moderate exercise and usual care (UC). This descriptive, comparative study was based on data from an observational study including patients in an UC setting (n = 90) and a randomized exercise trial (n = 577) in which participants exercised at high-intensity (HI) or low-moderate intensity (LMI). Persons with breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer undergoing neo/adjuvant treatment were included. AEs were reported by exercise coaches, participants, and identified in medical records, as were lymphedema, PICC-complications, and new medical conditions. Coaches reported AEs for 20% of the participants, while 28% of participants self-reported AEs. The most common coach- and participant reported AEs were musculoskeletal and the majority (97%) were considered minor. HI had higher likelihood of AEs than LMI, according to both coaches (OR: 1.9 [95%CI 1.16–3.21], p=.011) and participants (OR: 3.36 [95%CI 2.00–5.62], ≤.001). Lymphedema rates were low (4-9%) and PICC complications ranged from 15% in LMI to 23% in UC and there were no statistically significant differences between HI, LMI, and UC. There were no statistically significant differences between HI and LMI regarding new medical conditions. Exercise during treatment is safe for these patient groups in this setting, even HI exercise can be recommended if no medical contraindications are present. Similar to healthy populations, a higher risk of having minor AEs when exercising at HI in comparison to LMI may exist.

description: We present Cahn-Hilliard and Allen-Cahn numerical integration algorithms that are unconditionally stable and so provide significantly faster accuracy-controlled simulation. Our stability analysis is based on Eyre's theorem and unconditional von Neumann stability analysis, both of which we present. Numerical tests confirm the accuracy of the von Neumann approach, which is straightforward and should be widely applicable in phase-field modeling. We show that accuracy can be controlled with an unbounded time step Delta-t that grows with time t as Delta-t ~ t^alpha. We develop a classification scheme for the step exponent alpha and demonstrate that a class of simple linear algorithms gives alpha=1/3. For this class the speed up relative to a fixed time step grows with the linear size of the system as N/log N, and we estimate conservatively that an 8192^2 lattice can be integrated 300 times faster than with the Euler method.

Também na maioria das vezes tem carácter benig- no, sem nenhum outro sinal oftalmológico associado. Porém, quando exuberante e acometendo a área macular, acarreta baixa da acuidade visual; essa baixa acuidade pode estar ou associada ou não a miopia, ambliopia e estrabismo - síndrome de Straatsma. Objectivo: Descrever um caso de persistência exuberante de fibras de mielina numa criança de melanodérmica associada a miopia, ambliopia e estrabismo. Material e Métodos: Descreve-se um caso de uma criança de 8 anos que é observada em con- sulta de oftalmologia por baixa de acuidade visual e estrabismo no olho direito. A acuidade visual corrigida nesse olho era de 0.05 (com esferea de -5.50D) e, no olho contra-lateral, sem correcção, igual à unidade. À fundoscopia, o olho direito revelou uma exuberante persistência de fibras de mielina no pólo posterior acometendo a área macular. O cover test evidenciou uma exotropia manifesta no olho direito. Foi realizado OCT (Optical Choerence Tomography) de domínio espectral. Resultados: A combinação destes três sinais - persistência das fibras de mielina, ambliopia, miopia - cumpre os requisitos da síndrome de Straatsma. É uma síndrome rara que encerra mau prognóstico. A exotropia apresentada neste caso é um sinal que pode ou não estar presente e está relacionada com a baixa acuidade visual no olho em questão. O OCT de domínio espectral revelou alterações maculares. Discussão: A persistência das fibras de mielina nem sempre tem carácter benigno. Quando exu- berante e compromentendo a área macular, pode implicar severa redução da acuidade visual.

description: On March 7, 2012, ABC News aired a report on the use of lean, finely textured beef (LFTB), or “pink slime” as its reporters dubbed it. Although this was not the first time LFTB had been the subject of negative criticism on a national scale, the attention is no longer just coming from traditional media outlets (television, radio, and newspaper), but also from social media sources (Facebook, blogs, and Twitter). Of particular importance is the influence this reaction has had on the financial performance of agribusiness firms in the food supply chain. If image is everything and perception is reality, particularly as it relates to food safety, then agribusiness firms might be in for some challenges. Food and agribusiness firms will need to be prepared to react every time a food safety issue receives attention in social media irrespective of how these images and perceptions are generated.

description: Improving agricultural productivity has been the world’s primary defense against a recurring Malthusian crisis— where needs of a growing population outstrip the ability of humankind to supply food. Over the last half-century, world population doubled while food supply tripled, even as land under cultivation grew by only 12% (FAO, 2012). It is by raising productivity, or getting more output from existing resources, that has been driving growth in global agriculture, and what has proven Malthus wrong. In fact, at the global level, the long-run trend since at least 1900 has been one of increasing food abundance—in inflationadjusted dollars, food prices fell by an average of 1% per year over the course of the 20th Century

description: Il presente lavoro mira a esaminare le autobiografie che alcuni detenuti per mafia della Casa Circondariale Catania Bicocca hanno redatto nel corso di un progetto di scrittura avviato nel 2018. I brani qui presentati riguardano alcuni aspetti della vita e della routine in carcere, quali l’importanza accordata unanimemente alla scrittura e alla lettura per evitare l’alienazione carceraria e l’ansia e i timori legati alla salute e al decadimento psico-fisico; vengono infine presentate alcune lettere che i detenuti hanno indirizzato a un destinatario a piacere. This work aims to examine the autobiographies that some mafia inmates of the Catania Bicocca Prison have written during a project started in 2018. The autobiographies presented focus on some aspects of life and routine in prison, such as the unanimously accorded importance to writing and reading to avoid prison alienation and anxiety and fears related to health and psycho-physical decay; finally, some letters, written by the inmates and addressed to a recipient at will, are shown.

description: Despite intensive research, the physical origin of the speed-up offered by quantum algorithms remains mysterious. No general physical quantity, like, for instance, entanglement, can be singled out as the essential useful resource. Here we report a close connection between the trace speed and the quantum speed-up in Grover's search algorithm implemented with pure and pseudo-pure states. For a noiseless algorithm, we find a one-to-one correspondence between the quantum speed-up and the polarization of the pseudo-pure state, which can be connected to a wide class of quantum statistical speeds. For time-dependent partial depolarization and for interrupted Grover searches, the speed-up is specifically bounded by the maximal trace speed that occurs during the algorithm operations. Our results quantify the quantum speed-up with a physical resource that is experimentally measurable and related to multipartite entanglement and quantum coherence.

Alma Reveals A Gas-rich, Maximum-starburst In The Hyperluminous, Dust-obscured Quasar W0533-3401 AT $z\sim2.9$

description: We present ALMA observations and multiwavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) analysis in a WISE-selected, hyperluminous dust-obscured quasar W0533-3401 at $z=2.9$. We derive its physical properties of each component, such as molecular gas, stars, dust and the central supermassive black hole (SMBH). Both the dust continuum at 3 mm and the CO(3-2) line are detected. The derived molecular gas mass $M_{\rm gas}=8.4\times10^{10}\ M_\odot$ and its fraction $f_{\rm gas}=0.7$ suggest that W0533-3401 is gas-rich. The star formation rate (SFR) has been estimated to be $\sim3000-7000\ M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$ by using different methods. The high values of SFR and specific SFR suggest that W0533-3401 is a maximum-starburst. The corresponding gas depletion timescales are very short ($t_{\rm depl}\sim12-28$ Myr). The CO(3-2) emission line is marginally resolved and has a velocity gradient, which is possibly due to a rotating gas disk, gas outflow or merger. Finally, we infer the black hole mass growth rate of W0533-3401 (${\dot{M}}_{\rm BH}$ = 49 $M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$), which suggests a rapid growth of the central SMBH. The observed black hole to stellar mass ratio $M_{\rm BH}/M_\star$ of W0533-3401, which is dependent on the adopted Eddington ratio, is over one order of magnitude higher than the local value, and is evolving towards the evolutionary trend of unobscured quasars. Our results are consistent with the scenario that \wobs, with both a gas-rich maximum-starburst and a rapid black hole growth, is experiencing a short transition phase towards an unobscured quasar.

description: We test the efficiency of the financial market for the stocks of publicly traded firms related to the largely subsidized U.S. agriculture industry. We study how the anomalous value premium appears in the stocks of participating firms. Our study of the value and growth anomalies of these stocks utilizes the sorting and the beta-premium regressions methods. The firm level data are obtained from merging the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) data from NYSE, Amex, NASDAQ exchanges with the financial statements data from the Compustat database of Standard & Poor’s. The results show that the beta of the lower deciles of the agriculture industry related firms are in the same volatility direction as the market but at a lesser degree. The "cash-flow-to-price trading" strategy in agriculture-related stocks appears to be profitable as a riskless hedge portfolio that longs high CF/P agriculture-related stocks and short low CF/P agriculture-related stocks generates, on average and all else equal, a positive and statistically significant abnormal return of 0.23% per year. Perhaps, these U.S. agriculture industry firms benefit some spill-over from farm Bills subsidies.

The reaction $pd\to(pp)n$ at high momentum transfer and short-range NN properties
Creators: name: Haidenbauer, J.

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A recent cross section measurement of the deuteron breakup reaction $pd\to (pp)(0^\circ)+n(180^\circ)$, in the GeV region in a kinematics similar to backward $pd$ elastic scattering, strongly contradicts predictions of a $pd \to dp$ model based on the one-nucleon exchange, single pN scattering and $Δ$ excitation mechanisms, and on the wave functions of the Reid soft core and Paris $NN$ potentials. We show within the same model that for the CD Bonn $NN$ potential there is qualitative agreement with the data. It is attributed to a reduction of the one-nucleon exchange at energies above 1 GeV and an increase of the $Δ(1232)$-isobar contribution, both related to the short-range properties of the wave functions generated by this potential.

Higher-order and mixed QCD-QED corrections for Drell-Yan
Creators: name: Sborlini, German F. R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this article, we discuss about the Drell-Yan process focusing on the computation of radiative corrections for vector boson production. First, we describe the $q_T$-resummation formalism and its application to obtain higher-order QCD corrections. We briefly summarize the state-of-the-art in these calculations, and motivate the need of more refined theoretical predictions. After that, we center into the inclusion of mixed QCD-QED higher-order contributions, both for fixed order and resummed calculations. In particular, we present a framework based on the $q_T$-resummation formalism to simultaneously handle soft gluon and photon radiation. Finally, we discuss future extensions of this approach and its phenomenological relevance.

description: In analyzing the behavior of firms, economists have long distinguished between the in,f1nence of fixed and variable costs. There have gradually appeared in the budgets of many companies certain cost items like promotion and advertising which are allocated for a given period, but which are essentially independent of actual production for the same period in the manner of fixed costs. In this article, the growth in the importance of such budgeted items is outlined and their meaning analyzed in terms of pricing under monopolistic competition.
A lower bound to the action dimension of a group
Creators: name: Yoon, Sung Yil

Subjects: subject: Group Theory (math.GR)

subject: 20F65, 57M60

description: The action dimension of a discrete group G, actdim(G), is defined to be the smallest integer m such that G admits a properly discontinuous action on a contractible m-manifold. If no such m exists, we define actdim(G) = infty. Bestvina, Kapovich, and Kleiner used Van Kampen's theory of embedding obstruction to provide a lower bound to the action dimension of a group. In this article, another lower bound to the action dimension of a group is obtained by extending their work, and the action dimensions of the fundamental groups of certain manifolds are found by computing this new lower bound.

description: Statisticians studying the demand for farm commodities have long made use of data collected by home economists, particularly those issued by the Institute of Home Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture in reports of research on family dietary levels and economic problems. They have also made extensive use of data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for revision of price indexes. The most comprehensive food survey yet undertaken was the 1955 Survey of Household Food Consumption, and apparently it was the first in which agricultural economists took an active part. Because of the widespread demand for current data on food consumption patterns, statistical data from the survey were published jointly by the Institute of Home Economics of the Agricultural Research Service and the Agricultural Marketing Service immediately after the data were tabulated, but a minimum of descriptive information accompanied the data. Early publication of the data enabled public and private researchers outside the Department to proceed with their own analysis at the same time that several research groups within the Department were carrying on studies. Although various facets of food use have been described and analyzed in the many articles and speeches prepared by our research workers, from the many requests received from agricultural economists for guidance in use of the new data, it appeared desirable to publish a comprehensive article designed especially for their research needs. The authors have been working with the basic data for the last 18 months, and this article summarizes their experience.
Rules for transition rates in nonequilibrium steady states

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Just as transition rates in a canonical ensemble must respect the principle of detailed balance, constraints exist on transition rates in driven steady states. I derive those constraints, by maximum information-entropy inference, and apply them to the steady states of driven diffusion and a sheared lattice fluid. The resulting ensemble can potentially explain nonequilibrium phase behaviour and, for steady shear, gives rise to stress-mediated long-range interactions.
