description: Using first-principles based effective Hamiltonian and finite temperature Monte Carlo simulations we investigate cooperative responses, as well as microscopic mechanism for vortex switching, in zero-dimensional Pb(Zr$_{0.5}$Ti$_{0.5}$)O$_3$ nanoparticles under curled electric fields. We find that the generally accepted domain coexistence mechanism is not valid for toroid switching. Instead dipoles are shown to display unusual collective behaviors by forming a new vortex with perpendicular (but not opposite) toroid moment. The strong correlation between the new and original vortices is revealed to be critical for reversing toroid moment. Microscopic insight for the puzzling collective response is discussed. Based on our finding, we further describe a technological approach that is able to drastically reduce the magnitude of the curled electric field needed for vortex switching.

description: Der Beitrag befasst sich mit ausgewählten Ergebnissen einer deutschlandweiten Untersuchung von zu Sicherungsverwahrung Verurteilten, die unter Anwendung des§ 67a II StGB in eine andere stationäre Maßregel verlegt wurden. Datengrundlage waren Vollstreckungshefte, die Personen zuzuordnen sind, die sich auf Grundlage des § 66 StGB nach oder mit dem 01.01.2014 in einer Einrichtung des forensisch-psychiatrischen Maßregelvollzugs (§§ 63, 64 StGB) aufhielten. Anhand verfahrens-, und personenbezogener Daten wird deutlich, dass zu Sicherungsverwahrung Verurteilte oftmals Persönlichkeitsstörungen und Erkrankungen aufweisen, die eine Unterbringung in einer anderen Maßregel begründen lassen, was jedoch nur in wenigen Fällen erfolgt. Die Grenzziehung zwischen normalem und pathologischen Zustand ist demnach kritisch zu betrachten. Eine Flexibilisierung der Unterbringungsmöglichkeiten, dem Grundsatz der Behandlungs-, und Freiheitsorientierung folgend, erscheint sachdienlich.
Thermality versus objectivity: can they peacefully coexist?

description: Under the influence of external environments, quantum systems can undergo various different processes, including decoherence and equilibration. We observe that macroscopic objects are both objective and thermal, thus leading to the expectation that both objectivity and thermalisation can peacefully coexist on the quantum regime too. Crucially, however, objectivity relies on distributed classical information that could conflict with thermalisation. Here, we examine the overlap between thermal and objective states. We find that in general, one cannot exist when the other is present. However, there are certain regimes where thermality and objectivity are more likely to coexist: in the high temperature limit, at the non-degenerate low temperature limit, and when the environment is large. This is consistent with our experiences that everyday-sized objects can be both thermal and objective.

description: Given a projective surface and a generic projection to the plane, the braid monodromy factorization (and thus, the braid monodromy type) of the complement of its branch curve is one of the most important topological invariants, stable on deformations. From this factorization, one can compute the fundamental group of the complement of the branch curve, either in C^2 or in CP^2. In this article, we show that these groups, for the Hirzebruch surface F_{1,(a,b)}, are almost-solvable. That is - they are an extension of a solvable group, which strengthen the conjecture on degeneratable surfaces.

Using the Futures Market to Lower the Farm Management Risks of Producing for Unknown Market Prices in the USA. A Farm Example of a Maize Hedger
Creators: name: Van Blokland, P.J.
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1995
Subjects: Risk and Uncertainty

description: This paper illustrates a simple hedging procedure for reducing the risk of investing in production costs by locking in a predetermined price range. The emphasis is on planning and budgeting before committing resources to production. Success is measured as a return to management. The hedging methodology used in the paper is applicable to any agricultural enterprise where basis is known. It is probably impossible to hedge successfully without a good understanding of basis.

Transition Management of Family-Operated Farms
Creators: name: Gessaman, Paul
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1995
Subjects: Farm Management

description: This paper examines the effects of transitions on family- operated farms and principal management challenges resulting from transitions in family-operated farms. In response to the informal education needs of Nebraska's family-operated farms, Nebraska Cooperative Extension's farm management faculty developed informal education offerings for family- operated farms in transition situations. The goal-directed management model — a derivative of management by objective —provided the framework for these educational offerings.
Instruction, practice, and instructor assistance is provided through workshops where family members engage in goal identification, financial analysis, priority setting, and management plan development. Highlights from experience with these offerings, insights from workshop participant evaluations, and anecdotal reports of farm-level outcomes are briefly reported.
Based on more than a dozen years of experience with various forms of these educational offerings, the author concludes that goal identification is an essential aspect of effective transition management by family-operated farms.

description: Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been historically used extensively for displays, and more recently for lighting applications. However, the low-cost of materials and direct-deposition manufacturing processes involved in organic semiconductor fabrication means that OLEDs are uniquely placed for low-cost integrated optical interconnects. This thesis presents novel high-speed analysis and optimisation of OLEDs for communications purposes. DC and small-signal measurement results for small-molecule OLEDs fabricated by Dr. Kou Yoshida at the University of St. Andrews are presented and are used to inform a detailed 5-layer OLED simulation model. Correlation is drawn between the experimental small signal impedance measurements and the experimental luminescent output, from which a novel electrical model is built to predict bandwidth. Extension of the OLED physical simulation shows for the first time that by using a constant fraction of the overall simulated device resistance (a ‘luminescent resistance’), this RC-based model can be used to predict device small signal bandwidths, which suggests validity of both the simulation and the electrical modelling approach, provided that the exciton lifetime is less than the RC time-constant. This simulation is then used to forecast trends in device performance, allowing traditional inorganic semiconductor engineering tools to be brought into the field of organic device optimisation. Finally, these OLEDs are used in an optical link to provide a world-record equalisation-free OLED communications data rate of 130 Mbps.

description: Since the middle eighties a number of changes occurred in the farming environment in the RSA that impacted on management practices of farmers. As the relative importance of these influencing factors differed amongst farmers, regions and products produced, it is expected that the changes and adaptations in management practices would differ accordingly.
The aim of a questionnaire survey that was completed for 222 commercial farmers in different regions during 1994 was to determine what factors were the most important for different groups of farmers and what changes and adaptations in farming practices resulted from changes in these factors. This paper highlights the findings of the research project and also show what changes should be made to farm management training curricula at college level.

description: Symmetries are widespread in physical, technological, biological, and social systems and networks, including power grids. The swing equation is a classic model for the dynamics of powergrid networks. The main goal of this paper is to explain how network symmetries affect the swing equation transient and steady state dynamics. We introduce a modal decomposition that allows us to study transient effects, such as the presence of overshoots in the system response. This modal decomposition provides insight into the peak flows within the network lines and allows a rigorous characterization of the effects of symmetries in the network topology on the dynamics. Our work applies to both cases of homogeneous and heterogeneous parameters. Further, the model is used to show how small perturbations propagate in networks with symmetries. Finally, we present an application of our approach to a large power grid network that displays symmetries.

description: In der Online-Kommunikation sind Memes ein bekanntes Mittel, um etwa Stimmungen, Einstellungen und Handlungsintentionen zu kommunizieren. Im Kontext von Radikalisierung wird dieses Mittel durch unterschiedliche Gruppen genutzt, um gewaltbefürwortende, radikalisierende Botschaften zu verbreiten. Dabei stellt sich die Frage, wie diese Botschaften auf die angesprochene Bevölkerung wirken und welche Merkmale auf Seiten der Bevölkerung möglicherweise mit einer affirmativen Haltung einhergehen. Um vulnerable Bevölkerungsgruppen sowie Ansatzpunkte für präventives Handeln zu identifizieren, ist eine sozialwissenschaftliche Betrachtung dieser Zusammenhänge erforderlich. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine Auswahl jihadistischer und rechtsextremer Memes, die unter anderem zu Gewalt aufrufen, hinsichtlich der Attraktivität und Wirksamkeit durch eine Bevölkerungsstichprobe eingeschätzt. Die Bewertungen werden in Verbindung zu den persönlichen Einstellungen und politisch-religiösen Affinitäten der Befragten gesetzt und mit Blick auf soziodemografische Merkmale verglichen. Neben der Analyse expliziter Einstellungen werden dabei auch implizite Einstellungen berücksichtigt, die weniger stark durch soziale Norm und gesellschaftliche Erwartung beeinflusst werden. Auf Basis der Befunde werden Merkmale von Personen identifiziert, die gewaltbefürwortende Memes als positiver bewerten und als handlungsleitend verstehen. Im Sinne selektiver und indizierter Prävention können so Risikofaktoren für eine mögliche Radikalisierung sowie politisch oder religiös motivierte Gewalthandlung frühzeitig ausgemacht werden.

description: We explore how to protect extra dimensional models from large flavor changing neutral currents by using bulk and brane flavor symmetries. We show that a GIM mechanism can be built in to warped space models such as Randall-Sundrum or composite Higgs models if flavor mixing is introduced via UV brane kinetic mixings for right handed quarks. We give a realistic implementation both for a model with minimal flavor violation and one with next-to-minimal flavor violation. The latter does not suffer from a CP problem. We consider some of the existing experimental constraints on these models implied by precision electroweak tests.

Key Threats and Decisions Affecting the Viability of Farmers in Queensland, Australia
Creators: name: Cameron, D.C.
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1995
Subjects: Farm Management

description: A farm business management survey was conducted by mail across all major rural industries in Queensland. Responses revealed a general consensus that farming is becoming less rewarding as an occupation, and more complex and risky. Rising costs were perceived as the major threat to business viability, followed by climatic variability, marketing and policy issues. Production problems and political pressure groups were seen as only moderate threats, while environmental problems rated as least important. Ranking of threats varied considerably between industries. Key decisions affecting business viability rangedfrom cropping program determination in the grain, tobacco and fruit and vegetable industries, to choice of time and place for marketing sheep, beef and pigs, to capital improvement and maintenance in chicken and dairy industries, and optimising input levels in the sugar cane industry. These findings are discussed in the context of a dynamic external environment, particularly in respect of changing policy settings.

Material examined
MEXICO • 1; Oaxaca, San Agustín Bay; 15°41′21″ N, 96°14′11″ W; 24 Oct. 2004; SCJ leg.; depth 3 m, under rock in sand; UMAR-SIPU 105.
Description
Trunk 150 mm in length in preserved specimens (Fig. 4A), 300 mm in living specimens. More than 60 filiform tentacles. Introvert with dispersed orange papillae (Fig. 4C) and reddish region with rectangular papillae (Fig. 4D). Trunk with light brown body wall (Fig. 4E). More than 100 rings of claw-shaped hooks (Fig. 4G). Twenty-six anastomosing longitudinal muscle bands (Fig. 4H). Two long, tiny and dark brown free nephridia occupying 40% of trunk, about 35% attached to body wall. Two pairs of retractor muscles; dorsal pair attached to five bands starting from second band after ventral nerve cord, ventral pair attached to nine bands (Fig. 4B). Multiple rectal caeca covering 90% of rectum (Fig. 4F). Spindle muscle attached posteriorly. Nephridiopore almost at same level of anus.
Remarks
The species is similar to Siphonosoma australe australe (Keferstein, 1865), described from Sydney, Australia, and to S. vastum (Selenka & Bülow in Selenka, 1883), described from Jaluit, Marshall Islands (Table 3). Siphonosoma cf. vastum differs from S. australe australe in that the former species has multiple rectal caeca in 90% of the rectum, which are absent in the latter. According to Cutler et al. (1992), S. vastum is able to disperse across the entire Tropical Pacific Ocean. However, the nominal species is different from S. cf. vastum from Mexico in many diagnostic characters, mainly the coverage of the multiple rectal caeca in the rectum and the attachment of the muscles in the body wall (Table 2). This species is a possibly a new species; however, more specimens are needed to describe it.
Habitat
Subtidal (3 m); in sand.
Distribution

description: Polarized neutron reflectivity measurements of a ferromagnetic [(LaMnO$_3$)$_{11.8}$/(SrMnO$_3$)$_{4.4}$]$_6$ superlattice reveal a modulated magnetic structure with an enhanced magnetization at the interfaces where LaMnO$_3$ was deposited on SrMnO$_3$ (LMO/SMO). However, the opposite interfaces (SMO/LMO) are found to have a reduced ferromagnetic moment. The magnetic asymmetry arises from the difference in lateral structural roughness of the two interfaces observed via electron microscopy, with strong ferromagnetism present at the interfaces that are atomically smooth over tens of nanometers. This result demonstrates that atomic-scale roughness can destabilize interfacial phases in complex oxide heterostructures.

description: This paper explores the role that psychological variables might have in analysing farmer decision making. The results presented relate to a survey of 256 arable and hill farmers in SE Scotland. The survey investigated the objectives and stress levels of those surveyed. The major objectives of those surveyed were primarily concerned with improving the quality of land, the environment, and their way of life. Levels of stress were found to be consistent with the total UK population with 10% showing high stress levels. The paper also explores the levels of innovativeness and intelligence, and relates these to farm business and other psychological variables. Innovative farmers were found to be lower on neuroticism and less stressed, and more extraverted. They were also found to be risk minimisers, had larger farms, more experience and were more likely to possess a computer. Farmers with high intelligence scores were generally more conscientious and open to new ideas, kept records, set targets, used new technology and managed for maximum profit.

description: Memes sind fester Bestandteil von Internetkultur. In Form von u.a. Text-Bild- Kompositionen, Videos und GIFs dienen sie in erster Linie zur Unterhaltung. Nutzende versehen Memes oftmals mit humorisierenden Facetten und teilen kulturelle Informationen, über die sie sich selbst in der sozialen Welt verorten. So können Memes auch als Träger von Ideologien der Ungleichwertigkeit fungieren. Sowohl Anhängende (extrem) rechter als auch salafistisch-jihadistischer Ideologien nutzen Memes, in denen sie Bestandteile der jeweiligen Ideologie verarbeiten, oder aber "harmlose" Memes in ihre ideologisierten Kontexte einbetten. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden Memes als Bestandteile extremistischer Onlinekommunikation beleuchtet. Anhand dreier exemplarisch ausgewählter Text-Bild- Kompositionen dekonstruieren die Autorinnen die ihnen zugrundeliegenden Elemente (extrem) rechter bzw. salafistisch-jihadistischer Ideologien. Dabei werden ebenfalls die Kommunikationskontexte, innerhalb derer die Memes gepostet wurden, analysiert.

description: Sharemilking is an important feature of the New Zealand dairy industry providing a career path that can lead to farm ownership. This paper evaluates the contribution of sharemilking to the New Zealand dairy industry. The types of agreements are described as is the legislation governing the industry. The principal conclusion is that the goal of most sharemilkers, farm ownership, is becoming more difficult. The value of cows has not appreciated as rapidly as land prices during the last two decades. The current generation of sharemilkers must build up a larger herd, than their predecessors of 20 years ago, before a farm can be purchased. This has important implications for the dahy industry, as it is vital to attract and retain highly motivated capable young people into farming.

description: Electric polarization loops are measured at room temperature on highly pure BiFeO3 single crystals synthesized by a flux growth method. Because the crystals have a high electrical resistivity, the resulting low leakage currents allow us to measure a large spontaneous polarization reaching 100 microC.cm^{-2}, a value never reported in the bulk. During electric cycling, the slow degradation of the material leads to an evolution of the hysteresis curves eventually preventing full saturation of the crystals.

Kriminalitätsprävention

description: Erhöhte kriminelle Aktivität ist für einen Teil der jugendlichen Straftäter besonders charakteristisch. Diese relativ unabhängige kriminologische Gruppe wird auch als jugendliche Intensivtäter bezeichnet. Mit 3% bis 7% aller jugendlicher Straftäter, begehen Intensivtäter zwischen einem und zwei Dritteln aller registrierten Straftaten ihrer Altersgruppe, in verschiedenen Ländern. Am häufigsten begehen jugendliche Straftäter gewinnsüchtige, eigennützige und/oder gewalttätige Straftaten. Besonders charakteristisch für die jugendlichen Intensivtäter ist die Gestaltung in der Nachhaltigkeit der kriminellen Laufbahn. Am produktivsten ist für die Forschung des jugendlichen Intensivtäters ein multifaktorieller Ansatz, die Forschung der Risikofaktoren-Persönlichkeit des jugendlichen Intensivtäter, seiner Familie und seiner Umwelt. Zwischen 2016 und 2018 wurden 27 jugendliche Intensivtäter untersucht, diese waren in Russland, in einer Erziehungskolonie und einer Sonderschule für jugendliche Straftäter untergebracht. Das Ziel der Studie war es, das Verhältnis von Selbstwertgefühl und Aggressivität jugendlicher Intensivtäter zu klären. Regionale Kriminalitäts- Statistiken wurden untersucht; strafrechtliche Unterlagen über jugendliche Intensivtäter, die vom Gericht der Region Krasnodar geprüft wurden; Umfragen durchgeführt und jugendliche Intensivtäter interviewt. Die Studie zeigte, dass jugendliche Intensivtäter von einem geringen allgemeinen Selbstwertgefühl (66,67%) und einer erhöhten allgemeinen Aggressivität (52,38%) dominiert wurden. Gleichzeitig wurde bei jugendlichen Intensivtätern mit einer durchschnittlichen allgemeinen Aggressivität (38,10%) eine Erhöhung der Einzelkomponenten festgestellt. Ebenfalls wurde festgestellt, dass das geringe Selbstwertgefühl jugendlicher Intensivtäter mit einem hohen Maß an Aggressivität korreliert. Dies bestätigt die Notwendigkeit, komplexe und individuelle Maßnahmen für jugendliche Intensivtäter anzuwenden, die auf der Berücksichtigung ihrer individuellen psychologischen Besonderheiten, der Untersuchung ihrer kriminellen Laufbahn usw. basieren, unter der Schirmherrschaft der Landespolizei NRW des Programms “Kurve kriegen“. Dieses Programm setzt in der Praxis eine integrierte vorbeugende Wirkung auf den jugendlichen Intensivtäter um und sieht bis zu 40 verschiedene psychologische, pädagogische und andere Maßnahmen vor.

description: We revisit the question of priors that achieve approximate matching of Bayesian and frequentist predictive probabilities. Such priors may be thought of as providing frequentist calibration of Bayesian prediction or simply as devices for producing frequentist prediction regions. Here we analyse the $O(n^{-1})$ term in the expansion of the coverage probability of a Bayesian prediction region, as derived in [Ann. Statist. 28 (2000) 1414--1426]. Unlike the situation for parametric matching, asymptotic predictive matching priors may depend on the level $α$. We investigate uniformly predictive matching priors (UPMPs); that is, priors for which this $O(n^{-1})$ term is zero for all $α$. It was shown in [Ann. Statist. 28 (2000) 1414--1426] that, in the case of quantile matching and a scalar parameter, if such a prior exists then it must be Jeffreys' prior. In the present article we investigate UPMPs in the multiparameter case and present some general results about the form, and uniqueness or otherwise, of UPMPs for both quantile and highest predictive density matching.

"The miracle is to make it solid" : an analysis of transformation in Bella Coola myth and ritual
Creators: name: Richardson, Joanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Boas and Mcllwraith, who have written the major works on the Bella Coola, maintain that the thought and mythology of this particular culture is inconsistent, contradictory and illogical. This thesis argues that an analysis of the Bella Coola attitude toward transformation nullifies these contentions and provides a basis for a more insightful and certainly more respectful accounting of this North West Coast people. Within the Bella Coola universe anything which is not human is supernatural. The supernatural may be defined as uncontrolled transformational activity, as chaos, as the as yet unstructured force of life. In Bella Coola mythology the human comes into being when the supernatural first ancestors cease their earthly wandering and give up their transformational ability — i.e. when they superimpose order upon chaos or structure upon the unstructured. Thus the human condition consists of constantly maintaining a balance between the supernatural (which, taken to its extreme constitutes chaos and the consequent loss of the human) and order (which, taken to its extreme constitutes stasis and the consequent loss of the human). It follows that the supernatural may present itself either as dangerous (e.g. the kusiut ceremonial, wherein the emphasis is on fear and the need to exorcise the alien force which has taken possession of the dancer) or as revitalizing (e.g. the sisaok ceremonial, wherein the emphasis is on pride and the resucitation of the dancer's bond with her/his first ancestor(s)), or as both (e.g. shamanism, wherein the shaman's ability to enter the realm of the non-human may or may not succeed in redressing a dangerous imbalance which has occurred between an individual or individuals and the supernatural). This thesis contends that the Bella Coola attitude regarding transformation is the key to an understanding of all their major cultural institutions.

description: Asteroseismology provides a unique tool for studying stellar interiors. Recently p modes have been detected on the bright solar-like star alpha Cen A thanks to high-precision radial-velocity measurements. However a better characterisation of these p modes is clearly needed to constrain theoretical models. We observed alpha Cen A during five nights using the HARPS spectrograph in order to improve our knowledge of the seismic properties of this star. We performed high-precision radial-velocity sequences and computed the acoustic spectrum of alpha Cen A. We identify 34 p modes with angular degree l=0-3 in the frequency range 1.8-2.9 mHz and amplitude range 13-48 cm/s, in agreement with previous seismic studies. We find an enhancement of the frequency scatter with the angular degree l that indicates, considering the high inclination axis of alpha Cen A, rotational splitting and explains the low values of previously suggested mode lifetimes. We also derive new values for the small separations that take the effect of rotational splitting into account . Our seismic study of alpha Cen A leads to a list of now well identified p-mode frequencies and shows the importance of taking the rotation into account in order to properly characterise the p modes even in quite short campaigns.

description: We present a non-iterative method to deconvolve the spatial response function or the point spread function (PSF) from images taken with the Suzaku X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS). The method is optimized for analyses of extended sources with high photon statistics. Suzaku has four XIS detectors each with its own X-ray CCD and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) and has been providing unique opportunities in spatially-resolved spectroscopic analyses of extended objects. The detectors, however, suffer from broad and position-dependent PSFs with their typical half-power density (HPD) of about 110''. In the authors' view, this shortcoming has been preventing the high collecting area and high spectral resolution of Suzaku to be fully exploited. The present method is intended to recover spatial resolution to ~15'' over a dynamic range around 1:100 in the brightness without assuming any source model. Our deconvolution proceeds in two steps: An XIS image is multiplied with the inverse response matrix calculated from its PSF after rebinning CCD pixels to larger-size tiles (typically 6''x 6''); The inverted image is then adaptively smoothed to obtain the final deconvolved image. The PSF is modeled on a ray-tracing program and an observed point-source image. The deconvolution method has been applied to images of Centaurus A, PSR B1509-58 and RCW 89 taken by one XIS (XIS-1). The results have been compared with images obtained with Chandra to conclude that the spatial resolution has been recovered to ~20'' down to regions where surface brightness is about 1:50 of the brightest tile in the image. We believe the spatial resolution and the dynamic range can be improved in the future with higher fidelity PSF modeling and higher precision pointing information.

description: Quantum spin squeezing is an important resource for quantum information processing, but its squeezing degree is not easy to preserve in an open system with decoherence. Here, we propose a scheme to implement single-photon-triggered spin squeezing with decoherence reduction in an open system. In our system, a Dicke model (DM) is introduced into the quadratic optomechanics, which can be equivalent to an effective DM manipulated by the photon number. Besides, the phonon mode of the optomechanical system is coupled to a squeezed vacuum reservoir with a phase matching, resulting in that the thermal noise caused by the environment can be suppressed completely. We show that squeezing of the phonon mode triggered by a single photon can be transferred to the spin ensemble totally, and pairwise entanglement of the spin ensemble can be realized if and only if there is spin squeezing. Importantly, when considering the impact of the environment, our system can obtain a better squeezing degree than the optimal squeezing that can be achieved in the traditional DM. Meanwhile, the spin squeezing generated in our system is immune to the thermal noise. This work offers an effective way to generate spin squeezing with a single photon and to reduce decoherence in an open system, which will have promising applications in quantum information processing.

description: The nature of intensive livestock systems are such that they create an environment where psychological constraints are put on stockpersons. This means that the stockpersons' behaviour may reduce both animal welfare and animal productivity. This paper highlights some of the constraints and puts forwards practical action for managers to ameliorate some of the problems.

description: The subject of whole farm budgeting can be tedious for both teacher and student because emphasis is necessarily placed on the separate components of a budget, often losing sight of their interrelationships and leaving little lime to use the budget. This paper describes a CAL module developed to address this situation by a group of UK farm management lecturers and a development team supported by central Government funding. BUDGET BUILDER is a spreadsheet- based whole farm budgeting tool which, with a linked tutorial component, leads the student through the construction of a whole farm budgeting model beginning with simple enterprise gross margins and fixed cost budgets and culminating in projected cash fow, profit and balance sheet statements.
Both the tutorial and the model are structured to permit different levels of both entry and exit to accommodate students from different academic backgrounds and at different stages in their courses.

description: We report neutron scattering measurements of cooperative spin excitations in antiferromagnetically ordered BaFe2As2, the parent phase of an iron pnictide superconductor. The data extend up to ~100meV and show that the spin excitation spectrum is sharp and highly dispersive. By fitting the spectrum to a linear spin-wave model we estimate the magnon bandwidth to be in the region of 0.17eV. The large characteristic spin fluctuation energy suggests that magnetism could play a role in the formation of the superconducting state.

description: Fuzzy dark matter (FDM), a scalar particle coupled to the gravitational field without self-interaction whose mass range is $m \sim 10^{-24} - 10^{-20}\ \rm{eV}$, is one of the promising alternative dark matter candidates to cold dark matter. The quantum interference pattern, which is a unique structure of FDM, can be seen in halos in cosmological FDM simulations. In this paper, we first provide an analytic model of the sub-galactic matter power spectrum originating from quantum clumps in FDM halos, in which the density distribution of the FDM is expressed by a superposition of quantum clumps whose size corresponds to the de Broglie wavelength of the FDM. These clumps are assumed to be distributed randomly such that the ensemble averaged density follows the halo profile such as the Navarro-Frenk-White profile. We then compare the convergence power spectrum projected along the line of sight around the Einstein radius, which is converted from the sub-galactic matter power spectrum, to that measured in the strong lens system SDSS J0252+0039. While we find that the current observation provides no useful constraint on the FDM mass, we show that future deep, high spatial resolution observations of strong lens systems can tightly constrain FDM with the mass around $10^{-22}\ \rm{eV}$.

description: We propose a new simple model for DNA denaturation bases on the pendulum model of Englander\cite{A1} and the microscopic model of Peyrard {\it et al.},\cite{A3} so called "combined model". The main parameters of our model are: the coupling constant $k$ along each strand, the mean stretching $y^\ast$ of the hydrogen bonds, the ratio of the damping constant and driven force $γ/F$. We show that both the length $L$ of unpaired bases and the velocity $v$ of kinks depend on not only the coupling constant $k$ but also the temperature $T$. Our results are in good agreement with previous works.
