description: We explore data analysis techniques for signatures from heavy particle production during inflation. Heavy particules can be produced by time dependent masses and couplings, which are ubiquitous in string theory. These localized excitations induce curvature perturbations with non-zero correlation functions at all orders. In particular, Flauger et. al. 2016 has shown that the signal-to-noise as a function of the order $N$ of the correlation function can peak for $N$ of order $\mathcal{O}(1)$ to $\mathcal{O}(100)$ for an interesting space of models. As previous non-Gaussianity analyses have focused on $N=\{3,4\}$, in principle this provides an unexplored data analysis window with new discovery potential. We derive estimators for arbitrary $N$-point functions in this model and discuss their properties and covariances. To lowest order, the heavy particle production phenomenology reduces to a classical Poisson process, which can be implemented as a search for spherically symmetric profiles in the curvature perturbations. We explicitly show how to recover this result from the $N$-point functions and their estimators. Our focus in this paper is on method development, but we provide an initial data analysis using WMAP data, which illustrates the particularities of higher $N$-point function searches.

Best mean-field for condensates

description: The Gross-Pitaevskii equation assumes that all (identical) bosons of a condensate reside in a single one-particle function. Here, we raise the question whether it always provides the best mean-field ansatz for condensates, leading to the lowest mean-field ground state energy. To this end, we derive a mean-field approach allowing for bosons to reside in several different one-particle functions. The number of bosons in each of these functions is a variational parameter minimizing the energy. The energy and one-particle functions at these optimal numbers can be determined directly. A numerical example is presented demonstrating that the mean-field energy of trapped bosons can be below that provided by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Implications are discussed.

description: This paper investigates the problem of dim frequency line detection and recovery in the so-called lofargram. Theoretically, time integration long enough can always enhance the detection characteristic. But this does not hold for irregularly fluctuating lines. Deep learning has been shown to perform very well for sophisticated visual inference tasks. With the composition of multiple processing layers, very complex high level representation that amplify the important aspects of input while suppresses irrelevant variations can be learned. Hence we propose a new DeepLofargram, composed of deep convolutional neural network and its visualization counterpart. Plugging into specifically designed multi-task loss, an end-to-end training jointly learns to detect and recover the spatial location of potential lines. Leveraging on this deep architecture, the performance boundary is -24dB on average, and -26dB for some. This is far beyond the perception of human visual and significantly improves the state-of-the-art.

description: In this paper, we obtain a canonical central element $ν_H$ for each semi-simple quasi-Hopf algebra $H$ over any field $k$ and prove that $ν_H$ is invariant under gauge transformations. We show that if $k$ is algebraically closed of characteristic zero then for any irreducible representation of $H$ which affords the character $χ$, $χ(ν_H)$ takes only the values 0, 1 or -1, moreover if $H$ is a Hopf algebra or a twisted quantum double of a finite group then $χ(ν_H)$ is the corresponding Frobenius-Schur Indicator. We also prove an analog of a Theorem of Larson-Radford for split semi-simple quasi-Hopf algebra over any field $k$. Using this result, we establish the relationship between the antipode $S$, the values of $χ(ν_H)$, and certain associated bilinear forms when the underlying field $k$ is algebraically closed of characteristic zero.

description: We compare proposed solutions to the core vs cusp issue of spiral galaxies, which has also been framed as a diversity problem, and demonstrate that the cuspiness of dark matter halos is correlated with the stellar surface brightness. We compare the rotation curve fits to the SPARC sample from a self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) model, which self-consistently includes the impact of baryons on the halo profile, and hydrodynamical N-body simulations with cold dark matter (CDM). The SIDM model predicts a strong correlation between the core size and the stellar surface density, and it provides the best global fit to the data. The CDM simulations without strong baryonic feedback effects fail to explain the large dark matter cores seen in low surface brightness galaxies. On the other hand, with strong feedback, CDM simulations do not produce galaxy analogs with high stellar and dark matter densities, and therefore they have trouble in explaining the rotation curves of high surface brightness galaxies. This implies that current feedback implementations need to be modified. We also explicitly show how the concentration-mass and stellar-to-halo mass relations together lead to a radial acceleration relation (RAR) in an averaged sense, and reiterate the point that the RAR does not capture the diversity of galaxy rotation curves in the inner regions. These results make a strong case for SIDM as the explanation for the cores and cusps of field galaxies.

description: /^% ,., new indicator of trade performance, called "revealed competitive advantage" (RCA), is used to examine the changing nature of wheat competitiveness and noncompetitiveness. Time series RCA measures for 5 wheat-exporting countries and 20 wheat-importing countries illustrate the dynamics of the international market to the year 2000. RCA comparisons for different agricultural commodities suggest that the U.S. wheat subsector is more internationally competitive than the U.S. agricultural sector as a whole. However, the U.S. wheat subsector is not performing as well as the oilseed and coarse grain subsectors. Three-fourths of the significant wheat-importing countries display a growing competitive disadvantage for wheat, providing evidence of increased specialization in world production.

description: Qian, Luscombe and Gerstein [J. Molecular Biol. 313 (2001) 673--681] introduced a model of the diversification of protein folds in a genome that we may formulate as follows. Consider a multitype Yule process starting with one individual in which there are no deaths and each individual gives birth to a new individual at rate 1. When a new individual is born, it has the same type as its parent with probability $1-r$ and is a new type, different from all previously observed types, with probability $r$. We refer to individuals with the same type as families and provide an approximation to the joint distribution of family sizes when the population size reaches $N$. We also show that if $1\ll S\ll N^{1-r}$, then the number of families of size at least $S$ is approximately $CNS^{-1/(1-r)}$, while if $N^{1-r}\ll S$ the distribution decays more rapidly than any power.

description: Recently it has been proposed that, in the framework of quantum field theory, both the Standard Model gauge and Yukawa interactions arise from a single gauge interaction in higher dimensions with supersymmetry. This leads to the unification of the Standard Model gauge couplings and the third family Yukawa couplings at the GUT scale. In this work, we make a detailed study of this unification using the current experimental data, and find a good agreement in a significant region of the parameter space. Similar relations, required in Finite Grand Unification models, are also studied.

description: The study compares rural and urban technology use in a 1993 sample of manufacturing plants from five industries. Comparisons by plant size, industry, and region show similar rates of technology use by metro and nonmetro plants. Multivariate analysis of technology use shows that nonmetro location has no effect when plant and location characteristics are held constant. Local characteristics, including schooling and minority population, affect technology use in metro counties, but not in nonmetro counties. The study concludes that technology diffusion is not a major obstacle to rural economic development.

description: Stationary states of stochastic models, which have $N$ states per site, in matrix product form are considered. First we give a necessary condition for the existence of a finite $M$-dimensional matrix product state for any ${N,M}$. Second, we give a method to construct the matrices from the stationary states of small size system when the above condition and $N\le M$ are satisfied. Third, the method by which one can check that the obtained matrices are valid for any system size is presented for the case where $M=N$ is satisfied. The application of our methods is explained using three examples: the asymmetric exclusion process, a model studied in [F. H. Jafarpour: J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 36 (2003) 7497] and a hybrid of both of the models.

description: We present the design, bench-top setup, and experimental results of a compact heterodyne interferometer that achieves picometer-level displacement sensitivities in air over frequencies above 100 mHz. The optical configuration with spatially separated beams prevents frequency and polarization mixing, and therefore eliminates periodic errors. The interferometer is designed to maximize common-mode optical laser beam paths to obtain high rejection of environmental disturbances, such as temperature fluctuations and acoustics. The results of our experiments demonstrate the short- and long-term stabilities of the system during stationary and dynamic measurements. In addition, we provide measurements that compare our interferometer prototype with a commercial system, verifying our higher sensitivity of 3\,pm, higher thermal stability by a factor of two, and periodic-error-free performance.

description: Technical barriers affecting agricultural trade are emerging at the center of agricultural trade policy debates with increased frequency. These bathers include sanitary and phytosanitary measures; measures to prevent commercial fraud, such as standards of identity and standards of measure; consumer measures, which regulate food quality attributes; trade measures aimed at protecting the global commons; and others. Although many international trade experts in the public and the private sectors concur that technical barriers are a significant impediment to agricultural trade, evidence in support of this view has primarily been anecdotal. This report aims to provide the first general overview of technical barriers that currently confront U.S: agricultural exports. It presents summary descriptive statistics of foreign technical barriers developed from a survey of USDA's foreign attaches and representatives from agricultural producer groups who identified more than 300 measures in 63 foreign markets, and estimated that these technical barriers threatened, constrained, or blocked $4.97 billion of U.S. exports in 1996.

description: We show that hybrid Dirac and Weyl semimetals can be realized in a three-dimensional Luttinger semimetal with quadratic band touching (QBT). We illustrate this using periodic kicking scheme. In particular, we focus on a momentum-dependent drivings (nonuniform driving) and demonstrate the realization of various hybrid Dirac and Weyl semimetals. We identify a unique hybrid dispersion Dirac semimetal with two nodes, where one of the nodes is linear while the other is dispersed quadraticlly. Next, we show that by tilting QBT via periodic driving and in the presence of an external magnetic field, one can realize various single/double hybrid Weyl semimetals depending on the strength of external field. Finally, we note that in principle, phases that are found in this work could also be realized by employing the appropriate electronic interactions.

description: Follow-up activities to the 1996 World Food Summit include the development of a U.S. action plan on food security that contains domestic and international components. This paper presents background information on selected issues relevant for domestic food security planning, especially with regard to food insecurity information systems. It begins with a brief treatment of the conceptual distinctions between food insecurity, hunger, and undernutrition. The paper then describes various types of food consumption, nutrition and health data collected in the national nutrition monitoring system. The problem of selecting baseline indicators of food insecurity and undernutrition for long-range planning is addressed in four sections: (1) a review of the FAO hunger map methodology and the U.S. technical response; (2) a review of selected objectives in the Healthy People 2000 Initiative and in the U.S. response to the International Conference on Nutrition; (3) suggestions of indicators to use from the national nutrition monitoring system in developing baseline estimates of food insecurity and undernutrition; and (4) some broad issues to consider in the selection of these indicators.

description: High performance microprocessors have relied on accurate branch predictors to maintain high instruction supply for over 30 years. Unfortunately, as instruction windows and pipeline widths have continued to grow, misprediction penalties have gotten worse. Branch predictors have failed to improve at a fast enough rate to counteract these penalties. Impossible-to-predict branches, such as data-dependent branches, have become the worst offender since, so far, no viable predictor exists for these branches. I propose to identify such branches at runtime, and replace the inaccurate branch prediction with a more accurate merge point prediction. Doing so enables techniques that can either pre-compute the result of the branch, as is the case for Branch Runahead, or avoid the misprediction altogether by dynamically predicating instructions, or fetching instructions out-of-order; i.e., from the merge point until the branch direction has been determined. This dissertation presents a new merge point prediction algorithm that achieves a higher accuracy and coverage than prior work, and uses it to enable three mechanisms for dealing with impossible-to-predict branches: Branch Runahead, Dynamic Predication, and Delayed Fetch.

description: The Small Business Administration (SBA) has made agricultural and agriculture-related loans since soon after its founding in 1953, although agriculture is a very small part of its focus. At the end of fiscal 1996, $1.3 billion in SBA agricultural and agriculture-related direct and guaranteed loans were outstanding. This accounted for 4.3 percent of all outstanding SBA direct and guaranteed loans on that date. During 1954-96, SBA made 115,327 direct and guaranteed agricultural and agriculture-related loans totaling $7.7 billion with an average loan size of $67,042. These included loans made for (1) crop and livestock production and for (2) agricultural services (soil preparation, crop-related, veterinary, animal services except veterinary, farm labor and management, and landscape and horticultural). The loans were for business uses, with the disaster relief portion composing about three-fifths of the dollar volume. SBA agricultural and agriculture-related lending activity has varied considerably through the years; 79.8 percent of the loans and 61.4 percent of the dollar volume for the 1954-96 period occurred during 1978-81. In 1986, SBA stopped making disaster business loans to farm enterprises for crop or livestock production.

description: Multifactor productivity indices that are measured using data envelopment analysis are compared with indices measured using a Cobb-Douglas production function. Cobb-Douglas functions are then used to measure the relative impacts of input growth and productivity on agricultural output growth. Both input growth and productivity growth have accounted for agricultural growth in developed countries. However, in developing countries output growth can primarily be attributed to the growth in fertilizer and machinery. Productivity growth has fallen in many developing countries.

description: This study analyzes urban and rural worker productivity and wages using unpublished 1992 Census of Manufactures data. A decomposition of regional averages separates out effects of regional industry mix from within-industry differentials over a rural-urban continuum and for metro and nonmetro portions of census regions. Industry mix accounts for about half of the rural-urban gap in both productivity and wages. After controlling for industry mix, both productivity and wages increase with urbanization. The size of the nonmetro gap in productivity and wages varies across regions. Comparison of actual 1991-93 employment growth with regional wage and productivity differentials shows that job growth occurred in regions with low wages.

description: The 1996 Farm Act quickly and dramatically changed the decisionmalcing environment for farmland operators, owners, and managers. In response to the uncertainties as to how the Farm Act would affect the management of the Nation's farm resources, eight State and area-specific panels of professional farm managers and farm operators were held during the first part of 1997. Panelists participated in discussions that focused on changes in the management of farm resources, forces driving these changes, the current economic and financial setting for farming, characteristics of farm leases, land values, commodity price expectations, expected crop mixes, management of production and marketing risks, and general prospects for agriculture in their areas. This staff report includes information and perspectives provided by these panel discussions. Four topics highlighted by the panel discussions have special relevance to prospective management decisions in the U.S. farming sector into the 21st century. Consequently, they have major implications for sector monitoring and analytical activities. The four topics include: • The Production Flexibility Contract Payments (PFCPs) and the associated elimination of most planting restrictions, • Capitalization of PFCPs into land values and land rental rates, • Direct and indirect effects of PFCPs on farm management decisions, and • Marketing and managing price risk.

We then evaluate the time-dependent Wigner distribution, P_W(x,p;t), for Gaussian wave packet solutions of this system, illustrating both the short-term semi-classical time dependence, as well as longer-term revival and fractional revival behavior and the structure during the collapsed state. This tool provides an excellent way of demonstrating the patterns of highly correlated Schrodinger-cat-like `mini-packets' which appear at fractional multiples of the exact revival time.

description: Infrared interferometry of local AGN has revealed a warm (~300K-400K) polar dust structure that cannot be trivially explained by the putative dust torus of the unified model. This led to the development of the disk+wind scenario which comprises of a hot (~1000K) compact equatorial dust disk and a polar dust wind. This wind is assumed to be driven by radiation pressure and, therefore, we would expect that long term variation in radiation pressure would influence the dust distribution. In this paper we attempt to quantify if and how the dust distribution changes with radiation pressure. We analyse so far unpublished VLTI/MIDI data on 8 AGN and use previous results on 25 more to create a sample of 33 AGN. This sample comprises all AGN successfully observed with VLTI/MIDI. For each AGN, we calculate the Eddington ratio, using the intrinsic 2-10keV X-ray luminosity and black hole mass, and compare this to the resolved dust emission fraction as seen by MIDI. We tentatively conclude that there is more dust in the wind at higher Eddington ratios, at least in type 2 AGN where such an effect is expected to be more easily visible.

description: Introduction Our study aimed to measure the effects of exposure to an orca image and a short text depicting marine consequences on individuals' behavioral intentions to purchase single-use cups. Research Question How does an animal image and a short text affect people’s intention to use single-use cups? Methods Participants (N=252) ranging from ages 16 to 69 were randomly assigned into one of the three conditions: image + text condition, text condition, and blank cup (control condition). We hypothesized that participants in the image + text condition would be less inclined to purchase the single-use cup in our study and were willing to pay less than the other conditions. We used a 7-point Likert scale measuring their willingness to purchase the cup and a scale ranging from 0 to 1 Canadian dollar regarding their willingness to pay. Results We found that participants in the text condition were less inclined to purchase the single-use cup than the control condition but not the image + text condition. There was no significant difference in the amount of money participants were willing to pay for the cup, which contradicted our hypothesis. This may be due to the study being conducted online and participants finding the orca image appealing. Recommendations Enhancing social media platforms regarding single-use cup impacts and promoting 5S principles could increase sustainability on campus.

description: We present optical spectra of eight candidate brown dwarfs and a previously known T Tauri star (Sz 33) of the Chamaeleon I dark cloud. We derived spectral types based on the strength of the TiO or VO absorption bands present in the spectra of these objects as well as on the PC3 index of Martin et al. (1999). Photometric data from the literature are used to estimate the bolometric luminosities for these sources. We apply D'Antona & Mazzitelli (1997) pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks and isochrones to derive masses and ages. Based on the presence of Halpha in emission, we confirm that most of the candidates are young objects. Our sample however includes two sources for which we can only provide upper limits for the emission in Halpha; whereas these two objects are most likely foreground/background stars, higher resolution spectra are required to confirm their true nature. Among the likely cloud members, we detect one new sub-stellar object and three transition stellar/sub-stellar sources.

 Type species: Trichorondonia hybolasioides Breuning, 1965, by original designation.
 Pogonocherus (Neopogonocherus) Lazarev, 2021: 63. Syn. nov.
 Type species: Pogonocherus pilosipes Pic, 1907, by original designation.
 Breuning (1965) created the genus Trichorondonia for T. hybolasioides Breuning, 1965. Lazarev (2021) created the subgenus Pogonocherus (Neopogonocherus) to include Pogonocherus pilosipes Pic, 1907. Comparing photographs of the holotypes of P. pilosipes (Fig. 1) and T. hybolasioides (Figs 2–3), we consider these two species to belong to the same genus based on the following features: antennae distinctly longer than body; basal eight antennomeres fringed with long white setae ventrally; prothorax transverse, with a strongly conical tubercle on each side; pronotum with a pair of conical tubercles on anterior sides of anterior half, covered with dense, short, white or pale brown pubescence; elytra elongated, distinctly broader than prothorax at base, gradually narrowed from base to apical third, abruptly narrowed from this point toward apex; elytral apex notched, marginal angles protruded and slightly pointed outwards, sutural angles rounded; each elytron covered with several lines of sparse, sub-rounded and coarse punctures, sparser after middle, with a sinuous dorsal carinae from basal half to apex, and humeral carina distinct from base to apex; elytral surface covered with sparse, erect and long dark brown setae, and sparse, erect and long white setae laterally; femora strongly clavate; tibiae covered with sparse and long white setae.
 Therefore, Pogonocherus (Neopogonocherus) Lazarev, 2021 is considered a junior synonym of Trichorondonia Breuning, 1965.
 Distribution. China (Orient, Guangxi), Laos (Khammouan).

description: The linker is a set of computer procedures that combines agricultural economic country models into a world system that can be used for scenario analyses. The models generally have exogenous macroeconomic and resource blocks but have endogenous prices, quantities, and policy behavior for grains, oilseeds and products, and animal products. Most of the models are spreadsheet-based, with the exception of the U.S. and rest-of-world models, which are based in the Fortran programming language. The linker combines the models even though they reside in disparate software packages, appropriate to the needs of the respective analysts. Software has been selected or internally developed with the goal of facilitating' input of expertise from country/regional, commodity, and other analysts. The combined country models and the linker are referred to as the Country Linked System (CLS). The CLS is being used to perform middle-run scenario analysis in the Market and Trade Economics Division. The linker is not the best answer to combining the models, because it is large and slow. Instead, the linker is a functioning platform on which to work out input needs, efficient processes, and desired output. We can evaluate other modeling and solution software packages on their ability to meet or exceed the capabilities of the CLS. In the meantime, the CLS makes possible a number of scenario analysis projects. This report describes how to locate and interpret the output, how to set up the linker's control files, and how to run the linker and deal with typical problems.

description: Glass forming ability (GFA) is a property of utmost importance in glass science and technology. In this paper, we used a statistical methodology---involving bootstrap sampling and the Wilcoxon test---to find out which glass stability parameters can better predict the glass forming ability. We collected or measured the necessary data for twelve stoichiometric oxide glasses that underwent predominant heterogeneous nucleation (the most common case). We found that some GS parameters could predict the GFA of these oxide glasses quite well, whereas others perform poorly. Parameter $K_w$ was the top ranked, closely followed by the $K_H$, $γ$, $H^{'}$, $ΔT_{rg}$, and $K_{cr}$. Our results corroborate previous reports carried out using a smaller number of glasses, much less GS parameters, and less rigorous statistics. We also found that using $T_c$ instead of $T_x$ improved the predictive power of these parameters. Finally, the Jezica, the only parameter considered here that predicts the GFA without requiring the production of a glass piece (i.e., without relying on any crystallization information), ranked reasonably well in our analysis.
