description: Abstract

The coconut industry is a cornerstone of the Philippine economy, employing millions of farmers and providing a major source of income. However, coconut farmers in Zamboanga del Norte face significant challenges, making it essential to explore alternative income sources, such as organic agriculture. The Organic Agriculture Production Extension Project, implemented by the College of Agriculture and Forestry, aimed to enhance knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of coconut farmers in Barangay Sitog regarding organic agriculture. The study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design to evaluate the project’s effectiveness among 64 coconut farmers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires translated into the Cebuano dialect. Results revealed that farmers possessed high levels of knowledge and favorable attitudes towards organic agriculture; however, practical adoption varied. Despite positive attitudes and understanding of organic methods, the translation into consistent practices was hindered by economic challenges, limited access to organic inputs, and logistical barriers. Spearman's Rank Order Correlation showed that educational attainment and income positively influenced knowledge but had minimal impact on practical application. The study concludes that while the project effectively enhanced awareness, further targeted interventions are needed to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice. Recommendations include enhanced hands-on training, resource subsidies, establishing farmer cooperatives, and policy incentives. Emphasis is placed on providing accessible organic farming resources, strengthening farmer networks, and continuous project evaluation. Integrating organic farming into school curricula is also suggested to ensure long-term adoption and community resilience. These measures aim to create a supportive environment that fosters sustainable agricultural practices among coconut farmers.

description: We consider the flow of multiple particles in a Bingham fluid in an anti-plane shear flow configuration. The limiting situation in which the internal and applied forces balance and the fluid and particles stop flowing, that is, when the flow settles, is formulated as finding the optimal ratio between the total variation functional and a linear functional. The minimal value for this quotient is referred to as the critical yield number or, in analogy to Rayleigh quotients, generalized eigenvalue. This minimum value can in general only be attained by discontinuous, hence not physical, velocities. However, we prove that these generalized eigenfunctions, whose jumps we refer to as limiting yield surfaces, appear as rescaled limits of the physical velocities. Then, we show the existence of geometrically simple minimizers. Furthermore, a numerical method for the minimization is then considered. It is based on a nonlinear finite difference discretization, whose consistency is proven, and a standard primal-dual descent scheme. Finally, numerical examples show a variety of geometric solutions exhibiting the properties discussed in the theoretical sections.

description: Social ties defined by phone calls made between people can be grouped to various affinity networks, such as family members, utility network, friends, coworkers, etc. An understanding of call behavior within each social affinity network and the ability to infer the type of a social tie from call patterns is invaluable for various industrial purposes. For example, the telecom industry can use such information for consumer retention, targeted advertising, and customized services. In this paper, we analyze the patterns of 4.3 million phone call data records produced by 360,000 subscribers from two California cities. Our findings can be summarized as follows. We reveal significant differences among different affinity networks in terms of different call attributes. For example, members within the family network generate the highest average number of calls. Despite the differences between the two cities, for a given affinity network they show similar phone call behaviors. We identify specific features that model statistically meaningful changes in call patterns and can be used for prediction and classification of affinity networks, and we also find correlations between the features associated with call behavior. For example, when subscribers call each other after a long time, their calls tend to take longer. This knowledge leads to discussions of proper machine learning classification approaches as well as promising applications in telecom and security.

Probabilities of causation of climate changes

description: Multiple changes in Earth's climate system have been observed over the past decades. Determining how likely each of these changes are to have been caused by human influence, is important for decision making on mitigation and adaptation policy. Here we describe an approach for deriving the probability that anthropogenic forcings have caused a given observed change. The proposed approach is anchored into causal counterfactual theory (Pearl 2009) which has been introduced recently, and was in fact partly used already, in the context of extreme weather event attribution (EA). We argue that these concepts are also relevant, and can be straightforwardly extended to, the context of detection and attribution of long term trends associated to climate change (D&A). For this purpose, and in agreement with the principle of "fingerprinting" applied in the conventional D&A framework, a trajectory of change is converted into an event occurrence defined by maximizing the causal evidence associated to the forcing under scrutiny. Other key assumptions used in the conventional D&A framework, in particular those related to numerical models error, can also be adapted conveniently to this approach. Our proposal thus allows to bridge the conventional framework with the standard causal theory, in an attempt to improve the quantification of causal probabilities. An illustration suggests that our approach is prone to yield a significantly higher estimate of the probability that anthropogenic forcings have caused the observed temperature change, thus supporting more assertive causal claims.

description: Li abundances in the bulk of low-mass metal-poor stars are well reproduced by stellar evolution models adopting a constant initial abundance. However, a small number of stars have exceptionally high Li abundances, for which no convincing models have been established. We report on the discovery of 12 very metal-poor stars that have large excesses of Li, including an object having more than 100 times higher Li abundance than the values found in usual objects, which is the the largest excess in metal-poor stars known to date. The sample is distributed over a wide range of evolutionary stages, including five unevolved stars, showing no abundance anomaly in other elements. The results indicate the existence of an efficient process to enrich Li in a small fraction of low-mass stars at the main-sequence or subgiant phase. The wide distribution of Li-rich stars along the red giant branch could be explained by dilution of surface Li by mixing that occurs when the stars evolve into red giants. Our study narrows down the problem to be solved to understand the origins of Li-excess found in low-mass stars, suggesting the presence of unknown process that affects the surface abundances preceding red giant phases.

description: Spin superfluidity, i.e., coherent spin transport mediated by topologically stable textures, is limited by parasitic anisotropies rooted in relativistic interactions and spatial inhomogeneities. Since structural disorder in amorphous magnets can average out the effect of these undesired couplings, we propose this class of materials as platforms for superfluid spin transport. We establish nonlinear equations describing the hydrodynamics of spin in insulating amorphous magnets, where the currents are defined in terms of coherent rotations of a noncollinear texture. Our theory includes dissipation and nonequilibrium torques at the interface with metallic reservoirs. This framework allows us to determine different regimes of coherent dynamics and their salient features in nonlocal magneto-transport measurements. Our work paves the way for future studies on macroscopic spin dynamics in materials with frustrated interactions.

description: We calculate the massless quark jet function to three-loop order. The quark jet function is a universal ingredient in SCET factorization for many collider and decay processes with quark initiated final state jets. Our three-loop result contributes to the resummation for observables probing the invariant mass of final state quark jets at N$^3$LL$^\prime$. It represents the first complete three-loop result for a factorization ingredient describing collinear radiation. Furthermore it constitutes a major component of the $N$-jettiness subtraction/slicing method at N$^3$LO, which eventually may enable the calculation of fully-differential cross sections with a colorful final state at this order.

description: Governments face numerous challenges in sustaining road network conditions. This is attributed to road authorities’ shortages of financial and physical infrastructure. As a result, low-cost automated solutions are being pursued to solve these problems and provide people with appropriate road conditions. Several attempts have been made to improve these technologies and incorporate them into a Pavement Management System (PMS) but limited attempts are made for developing countries. This study aimed to design a low-cost pavement management system for flexible pavement maintenance. A detailed literature review has been carried out, followed by a qualitative assessment of the various indicators considered for PMS. The priority ranks of the PMS indicators were made using an Analytical Network Process (ANP) and each rank was validated by a sensitivity assessment test using the Super Decision-Making tool. This paper also provides the conceptual framework for the low-cost PMS, followed by a fishbone diagram of the indicators and sub-indicators. It is concluded that an emergency maintenance plan with an ANP weight of (0.41) is one of the most significant plans for a low-cost PMS, followed by a routine with an ANP weight of (0.39) and periodic maintenance plans with a (0.20) ANP weight. Moreover, the functional indicators with an ANP weight of (0.32) are the most significant indicators for a low-cost PMS, followed by structural (0.26), safety (0.24), and serviceability(0.18) indicators. This model will assist the road planners in making better decisions on pavement maintenance management plans. The model will suggest the pavement sections on a higher priority to be added in the maintenance plans, especially where the maintenance budget is limited.

description: We argue that the field theory that descibes randomly branched polymers is not generally conformally invariant in two dimensions at its critical point. In particular, we show (i) that the most natural formulation of conformal invariance for randomly branched polymers leads to inconsistencies; (ii) that the free field theory obtained by setting the potential equal to zero in the branched polymer field theory is not even classically conformally invariant; and (iii) that numerical enumerations of the exponent $θ(α)$, defined by $T_N(α)\sim λ^NN^{-θ(α) +1}$, where $T_N(α)$ is number of distinct configuratations of a branched polymer rooted near the apex of a cone with apex angel $α$, indicate that $θ(α)$ is not linear in $1/α$ contrary to what conformal invariance leads one to expect.

description: This thesis argues that John, the author of Revelation, depended upon two traditions or cultural models for the development of his theology: the corporeality of God and the heavenly temple. 'Cultural model' is a term used in cognitive anthropology to refer to conceptual constructs shared amongst persons in a given culture, which helps those persons sense-make and behave in their world. John used the cultural models of divine corporeality and the heavenly temple to construct a unique cosmology and theology in his apocalypse. Moreover, these cultural models and his resultant theological system helped John answer critical questions facing him at the end of the first century: Where is the Messiah, and why is he gone? For John, Jesus was absent in his world because he was completing necessary sacrificial and sacerdotal ministries at the heavenly temple so that the world could be purged of its impurities, allowing the Lord God to dwell physically with his people on earth.

description: A biracial individual is defined as someone who has parents of two different racial groups. One of the primary reasons that I chose this particular group of people is due to the fact that the world is becoming less homogeneous and racial lines are often difficult to distinguish. There has been a 550% increase in interracial marriages between 1960 and 1990 (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 1 0 /5 /9 7 ). The National Center for Health Statistics(NCHS) tabulates births by race and reports that birthrates of mixed race children have been climbing. The NCHS states that truly accurate numbers cannot be obtained because the father's race is unspecified in a number of births each year. Beyond the year of birth, no demographic data are kept on the total number of biracial children.

description: In a multiscale modeling approach, we present computer simulation results for a rectifying bipolar nanopore on two modeling levels. In an all-atom model, we use explicit water to simulate ion transport directly with the molecular dynamics technique. In a reduced model, we use implicit water and apply the Local Equilibrium Monte Carlo method together with the Nernst-Planck transport equation. This hybrid method makes the fast calculation of ion transport possible at the price of lost details. We show that the implicit-water model is an appropriate representation of the explicit-water model when we look at the system at the device (i.e., input vs.\ output) level. The two models produce qualitatively similar behavior of the electrical current for different voltages and model parameters. Looking at details of concentration and potential profiles, we find profound differences between the two models. These differences, however, do not influence the basic behavior of the model as a device because they do not influence the $z$-dependence of the concentration profiles which are the main determinants of current. These results then address an old paradox: how do reduced models, whose assumptions should break down in a nanoscale device, predict experimental data? Our simulations show that reduced models can still capture the overall device physics correctly, even though they get some important aspects of the molecular-scale physics quite wrong; reduced models work because they include the physics that is necessary from the point of view of device function. Therefore, reduced models can suffice for general device understanding and device design, but more detailed models might be needed for molecular level understanding.

description: MAssive Compact Halo Objects such as brown dwarfs, Jupiters, and black holes are prime candidates to comprise the dark halo of our galaxy. Paczynski noted that objects (dubbed MACHOs) with masses in the range $10^{-6}M_\odot < M \simlt 100 M_\odot$. can be detected via gravitational microlensing of stars in the Magellanic Clouds with the caveat that only about one in $10^6$ stars will be lensed at any given time. Our group has recently begun a search for microlensing using a refurbished 1.27 meter telescope at the Mount Stromlo Observatory in Australia. Since the summer of 1992, we have been imaging up to $10^7$ stars a night in the Large Magellanic Cloud using our large format two-color $3.4\times 10^7$ pixel CCD camera. Here I report on our first results based on an analysis of $\sim 10^6$ of these stars. Although this is not enough data to make definitive statements about the nature of the dark matter, we are able to conclude that the rate of variable star background events is not larger than the expected MACHO signal.

description: Gravity and mechanical forces cause important alterations in the human skeletal system as demonstrated by space flights. Innovative animal models like zebrafish embryos and medaka have been introduced to study bone response in ground-based microgravity simulators. We used, for the first time, adult zebrafish in simulated microgravity, by random positioning machine (RPM) to study bone remodeling in the scales. To evaluate the effects of microgravity on bone remodeling in adult bone tissue, we exposed adult zebrafish to microgravity for 14 days using RPM and we evaluated bone remodeling on explanted scales. Our data highlight bone resorption in the scales in simulated microgravity fish but also in the fish exposed, in normal gravity, to the vibrations produced by the RPM. The osteoclast activation in both rotating and non-rotating samples suggest that prolonged vibrations exposure leads to bone resorption in the scales tissue. Stress levels in these fish were normal as demonstrated by blood cortisol quantification. In conclusions, vibrational mechanical stress induced bone resorption in adult fish scales. Moreover, the adult fish as animal model for microgravity studies remains controversial since fish usually live in weightless conditions because of the buoyant force from water and it does not constantly need to support its body against gravity.

description: A recent comparison of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 2744 with the Millennium XXL (MXXL) N-body simulation has hinted at a tension between the observed substructure distribution and the predictions of LambdaCDM. Follow-up investigations indicated that this could be due to the contribution from the host halo and the subhalo finding algorithm used. To be independent of any subhalo finding algorithm, we therefore investigate the particle data of the MXXL simulation directly. We propose a new method to find substructures in 2D mass maps using a wavelet transform, which treats the simulation and observations equally. Using the same criteria to define a subhalo in observations and simulated data, we find three Abell 2744 analogues in the MXXL simulation. Thus the observations in Abell 2744 are in agreement with the predictions of LambdaCDM. We investigate the reasons for the discrepancy between the results obtained from the SUBFIND and full particle data analyses. We find that this is due to incompatible substructure definitions in observations and SUBFIND.

description: Hitomi (ASTRO-H) carries two Hard X-ray Telescopes (HXTs) that can focus X-rays up to 80 keV. Combined with the Hard X-ray Imagers (HXIs) that detect the focused X-rays, imaging spectroscopy in the high-energy band from 5 keV to 80 keV is made possible. We studied characteristics of HXTs after the launch such as the encircled energy function (EEF) and the effective area using the data of a Crab observation. The half power diameters (HPDs) in the 5--80 keV band evaluated from the EEFs are 1.59 arcmin for HXT-1 and 1.65 arcmin for HXT-2. Those are consistent with the HPDs measured with ground experiments when uncertainties are taken into account. We can conclude that there is no significant change in the characteristics of the HXTs before and after the launch. The off-axis angle of the aim point from the optical axis is evaluated to be less than 0.5 arcmin for both HXT-1 and HXT-2. The best-fit parameters for the Crab spectrum obtained with the HXT-HXI system are consistent with the canonical values.

Despite such popular television series as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and its spinoffs--CSI: Miami and CSI: New York--on which the forensic scientists use the latest high-tech scientific tools to identify the perpetrator of a crime and always in under an hour, forensic science is under assault, in the public media, popular magazines [Talbot (2007), Toobin (2007)] and in the scientific literature [Kennedy (2003), Saks and Koehler (2005)]. Ironically, this growing controversy over forensic science has occurred precisely at the time that DNA evidence has become the ``gold standard'' in the courts, leading to the overturning of hundreds of convictions many of which were based on clearly less credible forensic evidence, including eyewitness testimony [Berger (2006)].

description: Sleep regularity and chronotype can affect health, performance, and overall well-being. This observational study examines how sleep regularity and chronotype affect sleep quality and cardiorespiratory metrics. Data was collected from 1 January 2019 through 30 December 2019 from over 330 000 Sleep Number smart bed users across the United States who opted into this at-home study. A pressure signal from the smart bed reflected bed presence, movements, heart rate (HR), and breathing rate (BR). Participants (mean age: 55.69 years [SD: 14.0]; 51.2% female) were categorized by chronotype (16.8% early; 62.2% intermediate, 20.9% late) and regularity of sleep timing. Participants who were regular sleepers (66.1%) experienced higher percent restful sleep and lower mean HR and BR compared to the 4.8% categorized as irregular sleepers. Regular early-chronotype participants displayed better sleep and cardiorespiratory parameters compared to those with regular late-chronotypes. Significant variations were noted in sleep duration (Cohen’s d = 1.54 and 0.88, respectively) and restful sleep (Cohen’s d = 1.46 and 0.82, respectively) between early and late chronotypes, particularly within regular and irregular sleep patterns. This study highlights how sleep regularity and chronotype influence sleep quality and cardiorespiratory metrics. Irrespective of chronotype, sleep regularity demonstrated a substantial effect. Further research is necessary to confirm these findings.

description: Recent large scale structure observations, including COBE, have prompted many authors to discuss modifications of the standard Cold Dark Matter model. Two of these, a tilted spectrum and a gravitational wave contribution to COBE, are at some level demanded by theory under the usual assumption that inflation generates the primeval perturbations. The third, whose motivation comes by contrast from observation, is the introduction of a component of hot dark matter to give the Mixed Dark Matter model. We discuss the implication of taking these modifications together. Should Mixed Dark Matter prove necessary, very strong constraints on inflationary models will ensue.

description: Reliable systems health management is an important research area of NASA. A health management system that can accurately and quickly diagnose faults in various on-board systems of a vehicle will play a key role in the success of current and future NASA missions. We introduce in this paper the ProDiagnose algorithm, a diagnostic algorithm that uses a probabilistic approach, accomplished with Bayesian Network models compiled to Arithmetic Circuits, to diagnose these systems. We describe the ProDiagnose algorithm, how it works, and the probabilistic models involved. We show by experimentation on two Electrical Power Systems based on the ADAPT testbed, used in the Diagnostic Challenge Competition (DX 09), that ProDiagnose can produce results with over 96% accuracy and < 1 second mean diagnostic time.

description: Measurements and calculations of the air activation at a high-energy proton accelerator are described. The quantity of radionuclides released outdoors depends on operation scenarios including details of the air exchange inside the facility. To improve the prediction of the air activation levels, the MARS15 Monte Carlo code radionuclide production model was modified to be used for these studies. Measurements were done to benchmark the new model and verify its use in optimization studies for the new DUNE experiment at the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) at Fermilab. The measured production rates for the most important radionuclides - $^{11}$C, $^{13}$N, $^{15}$O and $^{41}$Ar - are in a good agreement with those calculated with the improved MARS15 code.

description: A wide range of niching techniques have been investigated in evolutionary and genetic algorithms. In this article, we focus on niching using crowding techniques in the context of what we call local tournament algorithms. In addition to deterministic and probabilistic crowding, the family of local tournament algorithms includes the Metropolis algorithm, simulated annealing, restricted tournament selection, and parallel recombinative simulated annealing. We describe an algorithmic and analytical framework which is applicable to a wide range of crowding algorithms. As an example of utilizing this framework, we present and analyze the probabilistic crowding niching algorithm. Like the closely related deterministic crowding approach, probabilistic crowding is fast, simple, and requires no parameters beyond those of classical genetic algorithms. In probabilistic crowding, sub-populations are maintained reliably, and we show that it is possible to analyze and predict how this maintenance takes place. We also provide novel results for deterministic crowding, show how different crowding replacement rules can be combined in portfolios, and discuss population sizing. Our analysis is backed up by experiments that further increase the understanding of probabilistic crowding.

description: Dark matter in the cosmological concordance model is parameterised by a single number, describing the covariantly conserved energy density of a non-relativistic fluid. Here we test this assumption in a model-independent and conservative way by considering the possibility that, at any point during the cosmological evolution, dark matter may be converted into a non-interacting form of radiation. This scenario encompasses, but is more general than, the cases where dark matter decays or annihilates into these states. We show that observations of the cosmic microwave background allow to strongly constrain this scenario for any conversion time after big bang nucleosynthesis. We discuss in detail, both from a Bayesian and frequentist point of view, in which sense adding large-scale structure observations may even provide a certain preference for a conversion of dark matter to radiation at late times. Finally we apply our general results to a specific particle physics realisation of such a scenario, featuring late kinetic decoupling and Sommerfeld-enhanced dark matter annihilation. We identify a small part of parameter space that both mitigates the tension between cosmic microwave and large-scale structure data and allows for velocity-dependent dark matter self-interactions strong enough to address the small-scale problems of structure formation.

Automorphisms of W-Algebras and Extended Rational Conformal Field Theories

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Many extended conformal algebras with one generator in addition to the Virasoro field as well as Casimir algebras have non-trivial outer automorphisms which enables one to impose `twisted' boundary conditions on the chiral fields. We study their effect on the highest weight representations. We give formulae for the enlarged rational conformal field theories in both series of W-algebras with two generators and conjecture a general formula for the additional models in the minimal series of Casimir algebras. A third series of W-algebras with two generators which includes the spin three algebra at $c=-2$ also has finitely many additional fields in the twisted sector although the model itself is apparently not rational. The additional fields in the twisted sector have applications in statistical mechanics as we demonstrate for $Z_n$-quantum spin chains with a particular type of boundary conditions.

A Silent Killer of Epidemic Proportions: The Influenza Epidemic of 1918 in Pittsburgh’s Jewish Community

description: The numbers are mind-boggling: approximately 550,000 Americans, most between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-nine, died a miserable death from influenza in 1918 and 1919.1 This is significantly greater than the number of American casualties of World War I, World War II, and the Korean and Vietnam wars combined. The Influenza Epidemic, however, is often called a "silent killer." Barely discussed by newspapers of the day and far from the forefront of our nation's memory, it remains buried in history. With this paper, I hope to contribute to the limited but important body of contemporary historical research on the epidemic. There is an especially small amount of research on the social history of the epidemic within ethnic communities; thus, I concentrate on its trajectory through Pittsburgh's socially divided Jewish community. This community, like most others, ignored the epidemic until it had already taken a severe toll. What are the broader implications of this case study? Could early attention and action in response to this medical crisis have saved lives?

description: Using random Gaussian vectors and an information-uncertainty relation, we give a proof that the coherent information is an achievable rate for entanglement transmission through a noisy quantum channel. The codes are random subspaces selected according to the Haar measure, but distorted as a function of the sender's input density operator. Using large deviations techniques, we show that classical data transmitted in either of two Fourier-conjugate bases for the coding subspace can be decoded with low probability of error. A recently discovered information-uncertainty relation then implies that the quantum mutual information for entanglement encoded into the subspace and transmitted through the channel will be high. The monogamy of quantum correlations finally implies that the environment of the channel cannot be significantly coupled to the entanglement, and concluding, which ensures the existence of a decoding by the receiver.
