description: A new model for calculating nuclear level densities is investigated. The single-nucleon spectra are calculated in a relativistic mean-field model with energy-dependent effective mass, which yields a realistic density of single-particle states at the Fermi energy. These microscopic single-nucleon states are used in a fast combinatorial algorithm for calculating the non-collective excitations of nuclei. The method, when applied to magic and semi-magic nuclei, such as $^{60}$Ni, $^{114}$Sn and $^{208}$Pb, reproduces the cumulative number of experimental states at low excitation energy, as well as the s-wave neutron resonance spacing at the neutron binding energy. Experimental level densities above 10 MeV are reproduced by multiplying the non-collective level densities by a simple vibrational enhancement factor. Problems to be solved in the extension to open-shell nuclei are discussed

description: Recent work has shown that statistical arguments, seemingly well-justified in higher dimensions, can also be used to derive reasonable, albeit less accurate, estimates of the largest Lyapunov exponent $χ$ in lower-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. This letter explores the detailed assumptions incorporated into these arguments. The predicted values of $χ$ are insensitive to most of these details, which can in any event be relaxed straightforwardly, but {\em can} depend sensitively on the nongeneric form of the auto-correlation function characterising the time-dependence of an orbit. This dependence on dynamics implies a fundamental limitation to the application of thermodynamic arguments to such lower-dimensional systems.

description: University course ranking forums are a popular means of disseminating information about satisfaction with the quality of course content and instruction, especially with undergraduate students. A variety of policy decisions by university administrators, instructional designers and teaching staff affect how students perceive the efficacy of pedagogies employed in a given course, in class and online. While there is a large body of research on qualitative driving factors behind the use of academic rating sites, there is little investigation of the (potential) implicit student bias on said forums towards desirable course outcomes at the institution level. To that end, we examine the connection between course outcomes (student-reported GPA) and the overall ranking of the primary course instructor, as well as rating disparity by nature of course outcomes, for several hundred courses taught at Virginia Tech based on data collected from a popular academic rating forum. We also replicate our analysis for several public universities across the US. Our experiments indicate that there is a discernible albeit complex bias towards course outcomes in the professor ratings registered by students.

description: Rural Malians who grow dryland crops depend on sorghum as a primary food staple. Despite steady advances in sorghum research, in this risk-prone environment, achieving major gains in national sorghum yields has posed a challenge. We assess the potential economic impact of the first, Guinea-race sorghum hybrids produced and diffused using participatory plant breeding with decentralized, farmer-managed seed systems. We compare this approach to formal plant breeding with a centralized, state-managed seed system, which was the approach pursued prior to 2000. To incorporate risk, we augment the economic surplus model by applying Monte Carlo sampling to simulate distributions of model parameters. A census of sorghum varieties in 58 villages in the high-potential sorghum production zone serves as the adoption baseline. Our findings indicate that research on sorghum hybrids is a sound 2 investment, but particularly when combined with locally-based mechanisms for disseminating seed. In part, this finding reflects the fact that despite many years of efforts aimed at liberalizing the seed sector in Mali, the sorghum seed system remains largely farmer-based.

description: Given the growing interest in the potential of organic agriculture to correct environmental externalities in sub-Saharan Africa, we use data from a hypothetical stated preference survey conducted in Nigeria to determine the market potentials of organic products as well as show how the relative importance that consumers attach to organic attributes varies strongly as a function of underlying attitudes. We specify a latent class structure that allows us to jointly analyze responses to stated choice and assignment to latent classes, while avoiding measurement error problems. Our results reveal that consumers are willing to pay premium for both environmental and health gains achieved through organic production systems, although their quantitative valuation is higher for the health concerns. Furthermore, we note that individuals with stronger preferences for organic products tend to attach a global value to the third party organic certification program attributes, whereas the valuation tends to be more restrictive among respondents that prioritize the status quo option (conventional alternative). We also observe that differences in respondents’ geographic location and level of awareness of organic food production characteristics (prior to the survey) have significant impact on consumers’ choices.

description: Deep learning models perform poorly on tasks that require commonsense reasoning, which often necessitates some form of world-knowledge or reasoning over information not immediately present in the input. We collect human explanations for commonsense reasoning in the form of natural language sequences and highlighted annotations in a new dataset called Common Sense Explanations (CoS-E). We use CoS-E to train language models to automatically generate explanations that can be used during training and inference in a novel Commonsense Auto-Generated Explanation (CAGE) framework. CAGE improves the state-of-the-art by 10% on the challenging CommonsenseQA task. We further study commonsense reasoning in DNNs using both human and auto-generated explanations including transfer to out-of-domain tasks. Empirical results indicate that we can effectively leverage language models for commonsense reasoning.

description: We study vacuum dynamics of SU(3) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature. Using the lattice Schrödinger functional, SU(3) vacuum is probed by means of an external constant Abelian chromomagnetic field. Our preliminary numerical data suggest that, by increasing the strength of the applied external field, deconfinement temperature decreases towards zero. This means that strong enough Abelian chromomagnetic fields destroy confinement of color.

description: The stability of "visible" electroweak-type cosmic strings is investigated in an extension of the Standard Model (SM) by a minimal dark sector, consisting of a U(1) gauge field, broken spontaneously by a scalar. The "visible" and dark sectors are coupled through a Higgs-portal and a gauge-kinetic mixing term. It is found that strings whose core is "filled" with a dark scalar condensate exhibit better stability properties than their analogues in the SM, when the electroweak mixing angle is close to $θ_{\rm W}=π/2$. They become unstable as one lets $θ_{\rm W}$ approach its physical value. The instability mechanism appears to be a $W$-boson condensation mechanism found in previous studies on the stability of electroweak strings.

description: Marketing margin analysis has usually been used to examine the behaviour and competitiveness of markets and the share of a retail commodity price accruing to farmers. Most studies examining marketing margins have typically considered margins to vary either spatially or temporally; with little attempt to understand how or why marketing margins may vary across households holding both space and time constant, even though inter-household variability has been observed in most rural maize marketing areas. This article determines the relative importance of spatial, temporal, and household-specific factors in the maize prices received by farmers in Zambia and in the associated farm-to-retail marketing margin under the assembly trader channel. We find that spatial factors account for the largest source of explained variation (72%) in the maize marketing margin and farm-gate prices obtained by farmers followed by temporal factors (16.7%). Household-specific factors account for the smallest source of explained variation (11.3%) in marketing margins, with marital status, kinship ties to the chief or village elders, and access to price information being the most important. Wide inter-household variation in farm-gate prices within the same locality and month suggest the importance of unobserved household-specific factors. These results hence indicate that the prices that maize farmers in Zambia obtain are not fully exogenous to farmers as often assumed. Programs that generate and improve farmers’ access to timely market information can raise prices that farmers obtain, while improved road infrastructure in areas where marketing margins are high could significantly improve farm-gate prices.

The resulting profiles are mostly indistinguishable. Good fits to the normalized solar Balmer lines H$α$ through H$δ$ are obtained (apart from the cores) using the recent unified-broadening calculations by Barklem and his coworkers provided that some adjustment for the continuum is performed. We discuss a surprising linearity with temperature of the Balmer line profiles in dwarfs.

description: In response to frequent water shortages, governments in Australia have encouraged home owners to install rainwater tanks, often by provision of partial funding for their installation. A simple investment analysis suggests that the net private benefits of rainwater tanks are negative, potentially providing justification for funding support for tank installation if it results in sufficiently large public benefits. However, using a hedonic price analysis we estimate that there is a premium built into the sale prices of houses with tanks installed, and that the magnitude of the premium is likely to be greater than the costs of installation, even allowing for the cost of time that home owners must devote to research, purchase and installation. The premium is likely to reflect non-financial as well as financial benefits from installation. The robustness of our estimated premium is investigated using both bounded regression analysis and simulation methods and the result is found to be highly robust. The policy implication is that governments should not rely on payments to encourage installation of rainwater tanks, but instead should use information provision as their main mechanism for promoting uptake. Several explanations for the observation that many home owners are apparently leaving benefits on the table are canvased, but no fully satisfactory explanation is identified.

description: For select countries in sub-Saharan Africa, we compare various sources of information on agricultural land in an attempt to determine what share of total agricultural land may be operated by corporate farms or government enterprises. We also combine various data on agricultural land and households in order to gain a better understanding of the number and distribution of household and non-household farms and farmland in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. We also examine changes in farmland distribution among household farms for select countries in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Whereas most literature on changes in farm size focuses on the average farm size, we go beyond looking at averages to consider the entire distribution of household farms. We find that a significant share of agricultural land is likely operated by non-household farms in a select set of African countries. There is a need to redouble efforts to conduct surveys of all farms as opposed to simply household farms; efforts such as the Agricultural Information System (AGRIS) are timely. LSMS and DHS data confirm the finding that average farm sizes have decreased in many countries of sub-Saharan Africa, although the decrease results from various types of changes in farmland distribution. Previous estimates of the number of farms in sub-Saharan Africa are out of date and we estimate that there are more than 77 million farms in that region.

description: The excitation function of the in-plane directed flow of nucleons is studied within a non-equilibrium transport approach. It is demonstrated that a local minimum in the excitation function of the directed flow develops, which is not related to a transition into a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) phase. It is a consequence of the dynamical softening of the underlying equation of state, due to the onset of resonance matter and particle production. Thus, the interpretation of this minimum as a 'smoking gun' signature for the creation of a QGP is premature.

description: A protocol for two-party secure function evaluation (2P-SFE) aims to allow the parties to learn the output of function $f$ of their private inputs, while leaking nothing more. In a sense, such a protocol realizes a trusted oracle that computes $f$ and returns the result to both parties. There have been tremendous strides in efficiency over the past ten years, yet 2P-SFE protocols remain impractical for most real-time, online computations, particularly on modestly provisioned devices. Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX) provides hardware-protected execution environments, called enclaves, that may be viewed as trusted computation oracles. While SGX provides native CPU speed for secure computation, previous side-channel and micro-architecture attacks have demonstrated how security guarantees of enclaves can be compromised. In this paper, we explore a balanced approach to 2P-SFE on SGX-enabled processors by constructing a protocol for evaluating $f$ relative to a partitioning of $f$. This approach alleviates the burden of trust on the enclave by allowing the protocol designer to choose which components should be evaluated within the enclave, and which via standard cryptographic techniques. We describe SGX-enabled SFE protocols (modeling the enclave as an oracle), and formalize the strongest-possible notion of 2P-SFE for our setting. We prove our protocol meets this notion when properly realized. We implement the protocol and apply it to two practical problems: privacy-preserving queries to a database, and a version of Dijkstra's algorithm for privacy-preserving navigation. Our evaluation shows that our SGX-enabled SFE scheme enjoys a 38x increase in performance over garbled-circuit-based SFE. Finally, we justify modeling of the enclave as an oracle by implementing protections against known side-channels.

description: The IPCC community’s Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) are a set of alternative global development futures focused on drivers of challenges to mitigation of and adaptation to climate change. However, the impacts and drivers of plausible future development at any national or regional level have yet to be examined for consistency within the global narrative. In this paper, we present four globally-consistent regional scenarios on Western Africa’s development that have been used to test and develop a range of national and regional policies. The regional scenarios were outlined independently by regional stakeholders but built around the context of the SSPs. The scenarios were quantified using two agricultural models, GLOBIOM and IMPACT, in interaction with drivers outlined by the SSPs and guided by semi-quantitative information from the stakeholders. Our paper 1) demonstrates how linkages of global SSPs and regional multi-stakeholder scenarios can be achieved through a process of critical comparison, starting from regional priorities, to produce consistent scenarios for future regional development; 2) provides insights for Western Africa on the future of development, agriculture, food security and climate impacts in both qualitative and quantitative scenarios; 3) reports on a set of scalable scenarios for regional decision makers and the scientific community to use to build and test robust agriculture and climate policies.

description: L’histoire de l’Ismh se fait sur un parcours de 93 ans. Presque un siècle. Comme pour toutes les institutions, une société scientifique n’échappe pas à l’influence des événements politiques, sociaux ou économiques tout au long de son existence. Malgré les difficultés, y compris une guerre mondiale, la Société se maintient. Cela nous conduit à une conclusion logique, très simple : elle a raison d’exister. Son passé nous a apporté des personnalités illustres et des progrès dans la connaissance de l’objet de son essence : l’Hydrologie. Progrès obtenu par les résultats de la recherche qu’elle a patronné ou encouragé ; par la divulgation de ces résultats en nombreuses publications et aux 39 congrès internationaux réalisés ; par des actions d’éducation effectuées à travers des cours à son initiative ou par la participation de ses membres à des réunions scientifiques un peu partout ; par son soutien à d’autres institutions, associations, sociétés scientifiques nationales, universités.
Actuellement son influence grandit. On constate la propagation de son influence en dehors de l’Europe, son continent d’origine. Mais ses difficultés sont très sérieuses. L’arrivée des nouveaux moyens technologiques oblige à des changements dans les processus de communication, incluant les aspects scientifiques et les modèles traditionnels des associations.
Pour préparer le futur il faut dépasser cette période de transition. On a besoin d’établir une stratégie de moyens opérationnels pour continuer à poursuivre l’ensemble des objectifs qui a présidé à la fondation de la Société et qui, dans son essence, restent les mêmes.
On présente ce plan d’action basé sur une analyse du passé, un examen critique du présent et une perspective de confiance en l’avenir.

description: We investigate the existence of affine realizations for term structure models driven by Lévy processes. It turns out that we obtain more severe restrictions on the volatility than in the classical diffusion case without jumps. As special cases, we study constant direction volatilities and the existence of short rate realizations.

description: Lattice discretization of the supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics is dis cussed. First results of the quenched Monte Carlo simulations, for D=4 and with higher g auge groups (3 <= N <= 8), are presented. We confirm an earlier (N=2) evidence tha t the system reveals different behaviours at low and high temperatures separated by a narrow transiti on region. These two regimes may correspond to a black hole and elementary excitations phases conjectured in the M-theory. Dependence of the "transition temperature" on N is consistent with 't Hooft scaling and shows a smooth saturation of lattice results towards the large N limit. Is not yet resolved if the observed change between the two regimes corresponds to a genuine phase transition or to a gentle crossover . A new, noncompact formulation of the lattice model is also proposed and its advantages are briefly discussed.

description: I present photometric and radial velocity data for Galactic Cepheids, most of them being in the southern hemisphere. There are 1250 Geneva 7-color photometric measurements for 62 Cepheids, the average uncertainty per measurement is better than 0.01 mag. A total of 832 velocity measurements have been obtained with the CORAVEL radial velocity spectrograph for 46 Cepheids. The average accuracy of the radial velocity data is 0.38 km/s. There are 33 stars with both photometry and radial velocity data. I discuss the possible binarity or period change that these new data reveal. I also present reddenings for all Cepheids with photometry. The data are available electronically.

Global Observables at RHIC

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The first three measurements from the RHIC program were results on global observables: charged particle multiplicity (N_ch), transverse energy (E_T) and elliptic flow (v_2). They offer a look at the large-scale features of particle production in high-energy nuclear collisions, with particular insight into entropy production and collective behavior. Results from all of the RHIC experiments are discussed in light of data from lower energy nuclear collisions as well as from high-energy hadronic collisions to test our current understanding of the collision dynamics.

description: Majorana zero modes (MZMs), fundamental building blocks for realizing topological quantum computers, can appear at the interface between a superconductor and a topological material. One of the experimental signatures that has been widely pursued to confirm the existence of MZMs is the observation of a large, quantized zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP) in the differential conductance measurements. In this Letter, we report observation of such a large ZBCP in junction structures of normal metal (titanium/gold Ti/Au) + Dirac semimetal (cadmium arsenide Cd3As2) + conventional superconductor (aluminum Al), with a value close to four times that of the normal state conductance. Our detailed analyses suggest that this large ZBCP is most likely not caused by MZMs. We attribute the ZBCP, instead, to the existence of a supercurrent between two far-separated superconducting Al electrodes, which shows up as a zero-bias peak because of the circuitry and thermal fluctuations of the supercurrent phase, a mechanism conceived by Ivanchenko and Zil'berman more than 50 years ago [JETP 28, 1272 (1969)]. Our results thus call for extreme caution when assigning the origin of a large ZBCP to MZMs in a multiterminal semiconductor or topological insulator/semimetal setup. We thus provide criteria for identifying when the ZBCP is definitely not caused by an MZM. Furthermore, we present several remarkable experimental results of a supercurrent effect occurring over unusually long distances and clean perfect Andreev reflection features.

BMI Growth Rates and the Nutrition Transition: The Role of Income, Inequality and Income Growth in Russia

description: This study analyzes the extent to which nutritional status in terms of weight change has been affected by the income distribution as the economy has grown. Is BMI growth different at different tails of the income distribution? Health and nutritional outcomes are not normally expected to be uniform across the income distribution and over time. Using recent individual level data from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) from 1994 to 2012, we scrutinize the influence of transitional processes, particularly economic transitions on nutritional and health outcomes. We test the hypothesis that the income gradient of individual body weight growth (i.e. the relationship between income and BMI growth) follows an inverted U-shape and thus changes its sign from positive to negative in the process of economic development. For the case of Russia, we could not find clear evidence that the income-BMI-growth gradient has already shifted. Turning points have not yet been reached. Expenditure increases have significant positive effects on BMI levels and on BMI growth rates. Better educated women have lower BMI levels than women with less than secondary education whereas men who completed tertiary education have higher BMI levels than men with less than secondary education.

description: The simplest version of a class of toy models for QCD is presented. It is a Lipkin-type model, for the quark-antiquark sector, and, for the gluon sector, gluon pairs with spin zero are treated as elementary bosons. The model restricts to mesons with spin zero and to few baryonic states. The corresponding energy spectrum is discussed. We show that ground state correlations are essential to describe physical properties of the spectrum at low energies. Phase transitions are described in an effective manner, by using coherent states. The appearance of a Goldstone boson for large values of the interaction strength is discussed, as related to a collective state. The formalism is extended to consider finite temperatures. The partition function is calculated, in an approximate way, showing the convenience of the use of coherent states. The energy density, heat capacity and transitions from the hadronic phase to the quark-gluon plasma are calculated.

description: We introduce a variation of direct maximal center gauge fixing: the "direct Laplacian" center gauge. The new procedure consists of first fixing to the Laplacian adjoint Landau gauge, followed by overrelaxation to the nearby Gribov copy of the direct maximal center gauge. Certain shortcomings of maximal center gauge, associated with Gribov copies, are overcome in the new gauge, in particular center dominance is recovered.

description: Authors' keyphrases assigned to scientific articles are essential for recognizing content and topic aspects. Most of the proposed supervised and unsupervised methods for keyphrase generation are unable to produce terms that are valuable but do not appear in the text. In this paper, we explore the possibility of considering the keyphrase string as an abstractive summary of the title and the abstract. First, we collect, process and release a large dataset of scientific paper metadata that contains 2.2 million records. Then we experiment with popular text summarization neural architectures. Despite using advanced deep learning models, large quantities of data and many days of computation, our systematic evaluation on four test datasets reveals that the explored text summarization methods could not produce better keyphrases than the simpler unsupervised methods, or the existing supervised ones.
