description: This paper evaluates the impact of the project Promoting Sustainable Agriculture in Borno (PROSAB) on the livelihoods of farming households in Borno State, Nigeria. Specifically, the paper identifies and provides information on farmers adoption of improved crop varieties introduced by PROSAB, measures their adoption rates and food security levels, and analyses the factors that affect the households food security status. The study used mainly primary data collected from a sample of 693 farming households in the study area. The analysis of data was carried out using descriptive statistics, Cost of Calorie calculations, and Logit regression techniques. The study results suggest that PROSAB has made a significant contribution towards improving the food security of households. In project intervention communities, food insecurity has been reduced from 58% in 2004 to 30% in 2015, indicating a 28% improvement in food security over the 11-year period. The paper clearly demonstrates how the adoption of crop technologies and crop management practices with linkages to markets has significantly contributed in improving households food security. The paper recommends increased promotion of improved crop technologies, trainings delivered to farmers on such technologies, and policies that enhance farmers access to inputs, credit, and output markets.

description: Figure S3. Differential H3K27me3 to H3K4me3 ChIPseq ratios at different genomic resolutions. (a) In Fig. 2d we show differential H3K27me3:H3K4me3 ChIPseq ratios over a genomic window of 4 kb. To test whether this result was due to the differing breadth of H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 ChIPseq peaks we repeated the analysis at 4 kb including two greater resolutions: 0.2 and 1 kb. hiBiv and loBiv were compared using Pearson’s correlation indicating statistically different H3K27me3:H3K4me3 ChIPseq ratios independent of window size. (b) To statistically test if H3K27me3 depletion is linked to transcription start site proximity, we analysed H3K27me3 depletion at three different resolutions. This showed that the greatest difference in H3K27me3 depletion is at the highest genomic distance (+/− 5 kb from peak centre) by boxplot analysis of mean J1:TKO H3K27me3 (rpkm) ratio per locus and non-equal variance two sample Student’s t-Test. Further, largest TKO H3K27me3 alterations occur at the highest DNA methylation level resolution (+/− 5 kb). Over shorter genomic ranges (0.2-1 kb) hiBiv and loBiv differential sensitivity is skewed towards loBiv regions based on median values at lower significance. This is likely due to the marked reduction in Polycomb presence at hiBiv regions, which are relatively dominated by H3K4me3 occupancy over these narrow windows. Mapping of average DNA methylation over the three genomic resolutions indicates that DNA methylation is most abundant over the 10 kb range, implying that DNA methylation is unlikely to play a prominent role in determining Polycomb localisation at the 0.2 and 1 kb ranges.

description: In this article, we define and examine surveillance culture within US college classrooms, a logical extension of pervasive carceral and capitalist logics that underlie the US educational system, in which individual success is tied to behavior monitoring, rule following, and sorting, particularly within marginalized student populations. Reflecting anxieties about the expansion of educational access, we argue for how crisis and change have historically contributed to the urgency and opportunity to expand surveillance culture and consider why this has continued to happen as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. We offer suggestions and alternatives to surveillance culture that have helped us foster student engagement in our own classrooms while also arguing for more substantial structural changes that could challenge surveillance culture beyond the individual unit of the classroom.

description: We present a simulation study of the charging of a dust grain immersed in a plasma, considering the effect of electron emission from the grain (thermionic effect). It is shown that the OML theory is no longer reliable when electron emission becomes large: screening can no longer be treated within the Debye-Huckel approach and an attractive potential well forms, leading to the possibility of attractive forces on other grains with the same polarity. We suggest to perform laboratory experiments where emitting dust grains could be used to create non-conventional dust crystals or macro-molecules.

description: Figure S2. Selection of k value for k-Means clustering. (a) The principle behind k-Means clustering is to identify clusters such that the total within-cluster sum of squares (WSS) is minimised. The sum of all WSS relates to cluster compactness and ideally should be as low as possible. Values of k are systematically tested until further increases in k do not improve the total WSS – the ‘elbow method’. A plot is shown where cluster number (underlying the ChIPseq data in Fig. 2d) is plotted against total WSS with k = 2 chosen as optimal for this data. R packages ‘factoextra’ and ‘NBClust’ were implemented for this analysis. (b) To validate the choice of k we used the alternative ‘average silhouette method’ approach accounting for cluster quality and inter-cluster distances, which ideally are high and distinct respectively, for robust clustering of non-random data. A plot is shown where cluster number (data underlying Fig. 2d) is plotted against average silhouette width with k = 2 returned.

description: A new amplifier-shaper-discriminator (ASD) chip was designed and manufactured for the Micro Pixel Chamber ($μ$-PIC). The design of this ASD IC is based on the ASD IC (TGC-ASD) for the Thin Gap Chamber in the LHC Atlas Experiment. The decay time constant of the preamplifier is 5-times longer than that of the TGC-ASD, and some other modifications have been made in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the $μ$-PIC. The ASD IC uses SONY Analog Master Slice bipolar technology. The IC contains 4 channels in a QFP48 package. The decay time constant of the preamplifier is 80 ns and its gain is approximately 0.8 V/pC. The output from the preamplifier is received by a shaper (main-amplifier) with a gain of 7. A baseline restoration circuit is incorporated in the main-amplifier, and the current used for the baseline restoration is 5-times smaller than that of the TGC-ASD. The threshold voltage for the discriminator section is common to the 4 channels and their digital output level is LVDS-compatible. The ASD IC also has an analog output of the preamplifier. The equivalent noise charge at the input capacitance of 50 pF is around 2000 electrons. The power dissipation with LVDS outputs (100 $Ω$ load) is 57 mW/ch. Using this ASD, the analog output voltage from the signal of the $μ$-PIC is about 2-times higher than the case of using the TGC-ASD.As a consequence, the MIPs tracking performance of the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with the $μ$-PIC was improved.The performance of the ASD IC and an improved tracking performance of the TPC are reported.

description: Magnesium powder in micron scale and various volume fractions of SiC particles with an average diameter of 50 nm were co-milled by a high energy planetary ball mill for up to 25 h to produce Mg-SiC nanocomposite powders. The milled Mg-SiC nanocomposite powders were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser particle size analysis (PSA) to study morphological evolutions. Furthermore, XRD, TEM, EDAX and SEM analyses were performed to investigate the microstructure of the magnesium matrix and distribution of SiC-reinforcement. It was shown that with addition of and increase in SiC nanoparticle content, finer particles with narrower size distribution are obtained after mechanical milling. The morphology of these particles also became more equiaxed at shorter milling times. The microstructural observation revealed that the milling process ensured uniform distribution of SiC nanoparticles in the magnesium matrix even with a high volume fraction, up to 10 vol%.
Fractal Physis: Structural Decoherence and the Cosmological Basis  of Wavefunction Collapse

description: We propose a novel structural model of quantum decoherence based on the fractal coherence properties of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Using wavelet energy scaling on Planck SMICA data, we extract a scale-dependent coherence function f(l) and map it to physical space f(z) via a logarithmic transformation. This empirical function is integrated into a modified Schr ̈odinger equation, introducing decoherence as a function of cosmological structure.

Simulations of double-slit propagation under this framework reveal coherent-to-incoherent transitions that align with real CMB-derived decoherence boundaries near l ∼ 4000. Our results suggest a cosmologically-grounded, scale-structured foundation for quantum-classical transition, offering a testable alternative to environment-based interpretations of wavefunction collapse.

description: Using a 1D Lagrangian code specifically designed to assess the impact of multiple, time-resolved supernovae (SNe) from a single star cluster on the surrounding medium, we test three commonly used feedback recipes: delayed cooling (e.g., used in the GASOLINE-2 code), momentum-energy injection (a resolution-dependent transition between momentum-dominated feedback and energy-dominated feedback used, e.g., in the FIRE-2 code), and simultaneous energy injection (e.g., used in the EAGLE simulations). Our work provides an intermediary test for these recipes: we analyse a setting that is more complex than the simplified scenarios for which many were designed, but one more controlled than a full galactic simulation. In particular, we test how well these models reproduce the enhanced momentum efficiency seen for an 11 SN cluster simulated at high resolution (0.6 pc; a factor of 12 enhancement relative to the isolated SN case) when these subgrid recipes are implemented in low resolution (20 pc) runs. We find that: 1) the delayed cooling model performs well -- resulting in 9 times the momentum efficiency of the fiducial isolated SN value -- when SNe are clustered and $10^{51}$ erg are injected per SN, while clearly over-predicting the momentum efficiency in the single SN test case; 2) the momentum-energy model always achieves good results, with a factor of 5 boost in momentum efficiency; and 3) injecting the energy from all SNe simultaneously does little to prevent over-cooling and greatly under-produces the momentum deposited by clustered SNe, resulting in a factor of 3 decrease in momentum efficiency on the average.

IZw1 observed with XMM-Newton: Low-energy spectral complexity, iron lines, and hard X-ray flares

description: We present a 20 ks XMM-Newton observation of the prototypical Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy IZw1. The best-fit model to the data is a double blackbody plus a dominant power-law, on which complex soft absorption (possibly a blended edge or absorption lines) and/or OVII emission are superimposed, as well as strong Fe Kalpha emission. The iron feature in the high-energy spectra appears broad; however, on close examination of the EPIC pn data, there exists the possibility that the broad emission feature can be attributed to a neutral Fe Kalpha line in addition to a blend of He- and H-like Fe Kalpha lines. The light curve shows a strong, hard X-ray flare concentrated in the 3-12 keV band. The flare appears to induce spectral variability, showing spectral hardening to be occuring as the flare intensifies. A detailed examination suggests that the spectral variability is most likely due to an increase in the 3-12 keV flux relative to the soft flux during the flare. A difference spectrum and complete modelling of the flare and non-flare spectra show intrinsic changes only in the normalisation of the continuum components and not in their shape parameters. The timing results are consistent with the flare originating in the accretion disc corona. The iron emission line(s) do not appear to respond to changes in the continuum flux during the flare; the iron lines are stronger in equivalent width during the low-flux (non-flare) states, and weaker during the flare.

description: It is discussed how a limiting procedure of conformal field theories may result in logarithmic conformal field theories with Jordan cells of arbitrary rank. This extends our work on rank-two Jordan cells. We also consider the limits of certain three-point functions and find that they are compatible with known results. The general construction is illustrated by logarithmic limits of (unitary) minimal models in conformal field theory. Characters of quasi-rational representations are found to emerge as the limits of the associated irreducible Virasoro characters.

description: Time preference has been recognized by numerous studies as an important driver of a number of health-related behaviors such as fatness, smoking and food choices. However, its possible role in food nutrition information search has been widely neglected. This study aims to examine directly if food nutrition information search is associated with the behavioral inclinations in time preference in China. Based on theoretical analysis, this paper illustrated that individuals with lower time preference stress more on future utility and tend to search more nutrition information. In empirical investigation, time preference was elicited in two ways: psychological perspective and monetary perspective. Data for the analysis were collected in 10 cities of 5 provinces in China through face-to-face interviews on sample of 1220 Chinese consumers undertaken in 2016. In the psychological perspective, this paper found that future-oriented (low time preference) individuals were more likely to search food nutrition information both in nutrition facts panels and nutrition claims. In monetary perspective, this paper found that only time-consistent long-run patience had a weak impact on food nutrition information search. Different significance between monetary and psychological health domain results confirmed the existence of domain independence.

description: In this paper, we demonstrate efficient generation of collinearly propagating, degenerate pulsed photon pairs based on a bulk Periodically Poled Potassium Titanyl Phosphate pumped by an ultrashort pulse laser. Using a single-mode fiber as a spatial mode filter, we detect about 3200 coincidence counts per second per milliwatt pump power. After we consider main losses in our experiment, the inferred coincidence counts are about 109000 per second per milliwatt pump power. This is the very promising for realization of sources for quantum communication and metrology.

description: The growing societal demands for land-based products and services, linked to increasing population, can be satisfied through either clearing new land for agriculture or intensifying production on existing land. Agricultural intensification is promoted as a central strategy to fulfill these demands while reducing pressure on land. We used cross-country panel data on cropland area and productivity to test three hypotheses on the relationships between agricultural intensification, land use expansion and contraction. The induced intensification hypothesis postulates that restrictions on cropland expansion can induce intensification. The land sparing hypothesis postulates that intensification allows reducing cropland expansion, while the competing rebound-effect hypothesis asserts that intensification, by making agriculture more profitable, can trigger further land expansion. We used cointegration to disentangle the long-run and short-run causal relationships between the variables. In the short run, we found support for the induced intensification hypothesis for high-income countries, and rebound effect for middle- and low-income countries (due to increases in yield or total factor productivity (TFP) that lead to cropland expansion). In the long run, the land sparing hypothesis holds for low- and middle-income countries (due to increases in yield negatively affecting cropland area). TFP has a positive effect on yields for low- and middle-income countries. Acknowledgement :

description: Many dependability techniques expect certain behaviors from the underlying subsystems and fail in chaotic ways if these expectations are not met. Under expected circumstances, however, software tends to work quite well. This paper suggests that, instead of fixing elusive bugs or rewriting software, we improve the predictability of conditions faced by our programs. This approach might be a cheaper and faster way to improve dependability of software. After identifying some of the common triggers of unpredictability, the paper describes three engineering principles that hold promise in combating unpredictability, suggests a way to benchmark predictability, and outlines a brief research agenda.

description: Rural bank operating statistics often differ significantly from those of urban banks. This report presents these statistics for all banks and for particular classes of banks within urban and rural areas. Two types of statistics are presented. Weighted statistics treat banks as an aggregate and may be dominated by a few large banks. Unweighted statistics, the mean of individual bank statistics, avoid this problem but may not accurately measure aggregate banking activity.3 Rural banks held more government securities, made more business loans (including agricultural), and attracted more deposits from lower cost small deposits. While the data do reflect the depressed status of agriculture, the (usually) nonagricultural banks in the West had the lowest profits and the most problem loans and loan losses.
$^8$He and $^9$Li cluster structures in light nuclei

description: The possibility of the $^8$He and $^{9}$Li clusters in atomic nuclei is discussed. Until now most of the clusters in the conventional models have been limited to the closures of the three-dimensional harmonic oscillators, such as $^4$He, $^{16}$O, and $^{40}$Ca. In the neutron-rich nuclei, however, the neutron to proton ratio is not unity, and it is worthwhile to think about more neutron-rich objects with $N>Z$ as the building blocks of cluster structures. Here the nuclei with the neutron number six, which is the subclosure of the $p_{3/2}$ subshell of the $jj$-coupling shell model, are assumed to be clusters, and thus we study the $^8$He and $^9$Li cluster structures in $^{16}$Be ($^8$He+$^8$He), $^{17}$B ($^8$He+$^9$Li), $^{18}$C ($^9$Li+$^9$Li), and $^{24}$C ($^8$He+$^8$He+$^8$He). Recent progress of the antisymmetrized quasi cluster model (AQCM) enables us to utilize $jj$-coupling shell model wave functions as the clusters rather easily. It is shown that the $^8$He+$^9$Li and $^9$Li+$^9$Li cluster configurations cover the lowest shell-model states of $^{17}$B and $^{18}$C, respectively. To predict the cluster states with large relative distances, we increase the expectation value of the principal quantum numbers by adding the nodes to the lowest states under the condition that the total angular momentum is unchanged (equal to $J^π=0$). As a result, developed cluster states are obtained around the corresponding threshold energies. The rotational band structure of $^{24}$C, which reflect the symmetry of equilateral triangular configuration ($D_{3h}$ symmetry) of three $^8$He clusters, also appears around the threshold energy.

description: The SSH Training Community is an important part of the engagement and training activities in the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC) project. The concerted efforts of the SSHOC Task 6.4 lead to the development of the SSH Training Community which is a compilation of formats and tools that foster community building and engagement, mutual learning, and networking among stakeholders involved in training activities related to the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). Through building expertise and empowering its network, the SSHOC T6.4 aims to provide the SSH community of trainers with the necessary knowledge, skills, and expertise required to use and contribute to SSHOC resources. This deliverable is a follow-up report of the D6.10 Report on the SSHOC Training Community on the activities of Task 6.4 in the SSHOC project. It provides an update on the developments and reports on the overall efforts and implementation towards building a community for trainers in the SSH. The Training Community was launched in September 2019. Its overarching goal of knowledge acquisition and networking among stakeholders in the SSH has two main components. First, facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration between trainers in the field of SSH. Therefore, the train-the-trainer approach which aims at empowering trainers and creating multipliers in support of open science in SSH was applied. In addition, a bottom-up approach is used in the SSH Training Community, and processes and tools were adapted to the Training Community members’ needs. Second, building expertise on tools and services offered by the SSH Open Marketplace. Two databases have been set within the T6.4, thus supporting data sharing in the SSH: The Training Discovery Toolkit and the Trainers Directory . The first Report on the SSHOC Training Community (D6.10, published in May 2020) was focused on the community building development process, whereas D6.13 aims to illustrate results and puts a special emphasis on sustainability of the SSH Training Community once the project ends (April 2022).

description: We have investigated energies, magnetic dipole hyperfine structure constants ($A_{hyf}$) and electric dipole (E1) matrix elements of a number of low-lying states of the triply ionized tin (Sn$^{3+}$) by employing relativistic coupled-cluster theory. Contributions from the Breit interaction and lower-order quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects in determination of above quantities are also given explicitly. These higher-order relativistic effects are found to be important for accurate evaluation of energies, while QED contributions are seen to be contributing significantly to the determination of $A_{hyf}$ values. Our theoretical results for energies are in agreement with one of the measurements but show significant differences for some states with another measurement. Reported $A_{hyf}$ will be useful in guiding measurements of hyperfine levels in the stable isotopes of Sn$^{3+}$. The calculated E1 matrix elements are further used to estimate oscillator strengths, transition probabilities and dipole polarizabilities ($α$) of many states. Large discrepancies between present results and previous calculations of oscillator strengths and transition probabilities are observed for a number of states. The estimated $α$ values will be useful for carrying out high precision measurements using Sn$^{3+}$ ion in future experiments.

description: We study the dynamics of a quantum particle in R^(n+m) constrained by a strong potential force to stay within a distance of order hbar (in suitable units) from a smooth n-dimensional submanifold M. We prove that in the semiclassical limit the evolution of the wave function is approximated in norm, up to terms of order hbar^(1/2), by the evolution of a semiclassical wave packet centred on the trajectory of the corresponding classical constrained system.
