description: Polynomial ensembles are a sub-class of probability measures within determinantal point processes. Examples include products of independent random matrices, with applications to Lyapunov exponents, and random matrices with an external field, that may serve as schematic models of quantum field theories with temperature. We first analyse expectation values of ratios of an equal number of characteristic polynomials in general polynomial ensembles. Using Schur polynomials we show that polynomial ensembles constitute Giambelli compatible point processes, leading to a determinant formula for such ratios as in classical ensembles of random matrices. In the second part we introduce invertible polynomial ensembles given e.g. by random matrices with an external field. Expectation values of arbitrary ratios of characteristic polynomials are expressed in terms of multiple contour integrals. This generalises previous findings by one of the authors for a single ratio in the context of eigenvector statistics in the complex Ginibre ensemble.

description: Genus Pyrgoma Leach, 1817
 Pyrgoma Leach, 1817b: 67; Leach, 1818: 171; Leach, 1824: 171; Darwin, 1854: 354 (synonymy); Ross and Newman, 1973: 58 (synonymy); Holthuis, 1982: 316 (nomenclature).
 Paranobia Galkin, 1986: 1293.
 De®nition (emended). Wall single-plated, solid, ¯at to dome-shaped, radially ribbed, margin crenate; basis with ladder to arch-like calcareous structures alternating between solid, medially sulcate, longitudinal ribs that terminate at suture with wall; scutum and tergum separable; scutum transversely elongate, limbus adductorum large, extending below true basal margin, rostral tooth present; tergum with true spur, slight fenestra present between opposed terga.
 Type species. Pyrgoma cancellata Leach, 1818, by subsequent monotypy (Leach, 1818: 171).
 Remarks. Ross and Newman (1973) considered this genus to be monotypic. However, in re-evaluating all of the descriptions and illustrations of P. cancellatum and related forms, and in light of new knowledge of these as well as other pyrgomatines, we conclude there are at least ®ve species represented. Within this genus we informally recognize two groups, one with a small narrow tergum that lacks tergal crests (P. cancellatum and P. japonica) and the other with a large broad tergum having small to large, simple or complex tergal crests (P. kuri, P. projectum and P. sinica). However, there are presently no major characters separating them and therefore they are not recognized as distinct taxa.
 The major character distinguishing Pyrgoma from all other pyrgomatines is the presence of passageways through the basis (®gure 1). It is through these that we believe the barnacle mediates its relationship with the host coral (Ross and Newman, 1973, 2000a).

description: The full ADHM-Nahm formalism is employed to find exact higher charge caloron solutions with non-trivial holonomy, extended beyond the axially symmetric solutions found earlier. Particularly interesting is the case where the constituent monopoles, that make up these solutions, are not necessarily well-separated. This is worked out in detail for charge 2. We resolve the structure of the extended core, which was previously localized only through the singularity structure of the zero-mode density in the far field limit. We also show that this singularity structure agrees exactly with the abelian charge distribution as seen through the abelian component of the gauge field. As a by-product zero-mode densities for charge 2 magnetic monopoles are found.

description: In most Nigerian households, vegetables are consumed as a source of minerals and vitamins and in some case as substitutes to the more expensive animal protein. In spite of these economic potentials, in the Nigerian economy, most Vegetable Farming Households (VFH) are small scale producers. This study therefore examined the effect of resource use efficiency on poverty profile of VFHs in Ogun State, Nigeria. Data were obtained from randomly selected 160 VFH using a pre-tested questionnaire. The data were analysed by the use of Descriptive Statistics, Foster-Greer-Thobecke (FGT) index and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). Results revealed that majority (76.3%) of VFH heads were male, 74.4% had formal education, 89.4% were married and 36.9% were artisans. The average age of the VFH heads was 47 years and the mean monthly income was ₦20,200.00. FGT index estimate gave poverty incidence as 0.26 while poverty depth and severity were 0.37 and 0.009 respectively. The mean technical, allocative and economic efficiency of vegetable farming households were 62.3%, 68.9% and 43.2% respectively. SFA revealed that farm size, labour and fertilizer increased output (p<0.05) while (land) rent (p<0.05), fertilizer and agrochemical prices (p<0.01) as well as wages (p<0.01) increased costs in vegetable production. Furthermore; age, education, household size and poverty status (p<0.01) as well as farming experience, sex and household size (p<0.05) were the factors that reduced efficiency of VFHs. The implication from the findings of this study is that poverty reduction among the farming households led to reduction in farm efficiency. Therefore, apart from providing efficiency enhancing factors to farmers, stakeholders should (as a priority) implement a re-orientation programme that will make VFHs regard vegetable farming as a (business) investment in the study area.

 Diagnosis. Wall with 24 radiating ribs; articular furrow of scutum shallow, narrow, limbus adductorum about one-third overall height; tergum moderately broad, external furrow open, spur with parallel sides, distal end truncated, depressor muscle crests extending to or barely beyond basal margin.

 Type depository. Lectotype, ZooÈlogisch Museum, Amsterdam (ZMA), Cirr. 100.324.
 Remarks. Hoek (1913) based his description of this species on two specimens of which the sole extant specimen was redescribed and illustrated by Ross and Newman (2000 a). It was our restudy of this species that led to a re-evaluation of P. cancellatum and others which we now include in Pyrgoma.
The opercular plates of this species, originally believed to be`fused’ together (Hoek, 1913), were readily separable upon soaking in sodium hypochlorite (commercial bleach; Ross and Newman, 2000 a). In addition, the morphology of the basis may not be completely obvious until similarly prepared.
 The tergum is far broader than that of P. cancellatum (ratio of height to width 1.80 1), and it has well-developed depressor muscle crests. Also, the limbus adductorum of the scutum is shorter than in either P. cancellatum or P. japonica.

description: The regularization procedure for getting the four-dimensional nontrivial Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet effective description of gravity and its Lovelock generalization has been recently developed. Here we propose the regularization for the three-dimensional gravity, which is based on the rescaling of the coupling constants and, afterward, taking the limit $D \to 3$. We obtain the generalization of the Bañados-Teitelboim-Zanelli solution in the presence of the higher curvature (Gauss-Bonnet and Lovelock) corrections of any order. The obtained general solution shows a peculiar behavior: The event horizon is allowed not only for asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes, but also for the de-Sitter and flat cases, when the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant is negative. The factor of the electric charge is analyzed as well for various branches of the solution and the Hawking temperature is obtained.

description: Climate change is a phenomenon that is seen generally as a threat to agriculture, rural economy and livelihood of the farmers. Therefore, the need to study the rural farmers’ perception of climate changes and its effects led to this study. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 60 farmers per each ecological zone in Ondo State making a total of One Hundred and Eighty Farmers. From the study, the result of the 5point-likert scale revealed that in the guinea savannah ecological zone, the farmers’ perceptions of climate change were high intensity of sun (3.88), high degree of temperature (3.88) and unusual drought (4.18). In addition, in the rain forest ecological zone, the farmers’ perception of climate change was frequent rainfall (3.50). However, in the mangrove forest ecological zone, the rural farmers’ perceptions of climate change were incessant flood (4.80) and frequent rainfall (4.27). Also, the result of the F-ratio statistics revealed that there is no significant difference in the farmers’ perception of climate change in the three distinct ecological zones of the state. In conclusion, it was clear that the farmers in the state did not have full understanding of the concept of climate change. It was recommended that government at all levels should sensitize the farmers on the concept of climate change in the State.

description: Since the beginning of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) commissioning, spectral components at harmonics of the mains frequency (50 Hz) have been observed in the transverse beam spectrum. This paper presents an overview of the most important observations, collected during the latest physics operation of the LHC in 2018, which clearly indicates that the harmonics are the result of a real beam excitation rather than an instrumental feature. Based on these findings, potential sources of the perturbation are discussed and a correlation with power supply ripple originating from the magnets' power supplies is presented.

description: Adaptation to climate change requires farmers to realise that climate has changed and they must identify useful adaptation strategies and implement them. The study analysed the effects of socio-economic economic characteristics of farmers on the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State. Data for the study were collected with Structured Questionnaire from sixty (60) farmers using a combination of multistage and purposive sampling technique. Data were analysed using Simple descriptive statistics and Multiple Regression Model. Results revealed that majority (38.3%) were between the age bracket of 31-40 years, while 51.7% of them were male, 48.3% were married, 60% of the respondents had one form of formal education or the other, 60% had household size of 6 -10 people. Majority (58.3%) of the farmers indicated that they have fully adopted planting of crops with early rainfall as a climate change adaptation strategy, while 56.7% use early maturing crops and 46.7% indicated change in planting dates. Results of multiple regression analysis showed that level of education, household size and extension contacts had significant influence on adoption, while gender, age of farmers and marital status had no significant influence on adoption. The study also revealed that the major constraints to adoption include; low awareness level, lack of access to improve crop varieties, low institutional capacity at local government level and limited knowledge on adaptation. The study therefore, recommends that extension programmes should be mounted in communities to increase awareness of climate change.

description: The task of predicting dialog acts (DA) based on conversational dialog is a key component in the development of conversational agents. Accurately predicting DAs requires a precise modeling of both the conversation and the global tag dependencies. We leverage seq2seq approaches widely adopted in Neural Machine Translation (NMT) to improve the modelling of tag sequentiality. Seq2seq models are known to learn complex global dependencies while currently proposed approaches using linear conditional random fields (CRF) only model local tag dependencies. In this work, we introduce a seq2seq model tailored for DA classification using: a hierarchical encoder, a novel guided attention mechanism and beam search applied to both training and inference. Compared to the state of the art our model does not require handcrafted features and is trained end-to-end. Furthermore, the proposed approach achieves an unmatched accuracy score of 85% on SwDA, and state-of-the-art accuracy score of 91.6% on MRDA.

description: Present marketing of wheat in Lesotho distort and imposes a heavy tax on the Lesotho economy. It puts upward pressure on producer and consumer prices, which results in welfare losses to consumers -including the majority of rural and agricultural households who are deficit producers of this commodity. The winners from these policies are the relatively small number of surplus producers and the three industrial mills enjoying some monopoly powers. It is recommended that the Government of Lesotho liberalize Lesotho's wheat market.

Food security therefore do not deal with ~uction per se, rather the requirem~t of sufficient food for consumption. The current situation in South Afiica is analysed, showmg a movement from food self sufficiency. The first conclusion is that the food equation is currently not balanced. The importance of an economic viable "local food production" strategy is secondly argued. A changed institutional structure to manage food security and food policy is proposed

description: A study carried in 1995, among I 97 randomly selected rural households from five selected districts of the Northern Province indicate a high incidence of and variability in household food security. Households in two districts of Nebo and Botlokwa are totally food insecure, while that of Seshego remain vulnerable and those in Venda and Gyani districts seem food secure. Based on calculations of the minimum daily calorie requirements of adults equivalents (2205 cal/day) for the sample, 58%,17% and 25% are classified as food in secured, vulnerable and secured, respectively. Respondents perceive drought and lack of income as the causal factors of food shortages. Dependence on community /social networks, own food production, employment seeking and asset accumulation are the short and long run coping strategies adopted by the households. Intensifying staple food production, would help expanding food access to the poor and vulnerable groups and enhancing participatory agricultural and rural development through strengthened support services are recommended as possible options and strategies.

description: Further consequences of the 1540 MeV Theta+ resonance as an isotensor pentaquark beyond Capstick et al. are explored. It is argued that the SAPHIR data may not currently exclude the existence of the charged partner Theta++. The usual prediction of the dominance of non-resonant Theta+ K, and Theta+ K*, final states in photoproduction on the proton is argued not to obtain for an isotensor Theta+. This enhances the importance of excited baryon final states, where the excited baryon decays to Theta+ K or Theta+ K*; as well as the non-resonant Theta+ K pi final state. The small width of the recently discovered Xi-- cascade resonance to Xi- pi- is easier to explain if Theta+ is an isotensor pentaquark than if it is in the 10bar representation, due to both an isospin and U-spin selection rule. A new production diagram for Theta+ in the photoproduction on the deuteron is suggested.

description: The ternary Golay code -- one of the first and most beautiful classical error-correcting codes discovered -- naturally gives rise to an 11-qutrit quantum error correcting code. We apply this code to magic state distillation, a leading approach to fault-tolerant quantum computing. We find that the 11-qutrit Golay code can distill the "most magic" qutrit state -- an eigenstate of the qutrit Fourier transform known as the strange state -- with cubic error-suppression and a remarkably high threshold. It also distills the "second-most magic" qutrit state, the Norell state, with quadratic error-suppression and an equally high threshold to depolarizing noise.

description: Alice electrodynamics (AED) is a theory of electrodynamics in which charge conjugation is a local gauge symmetry. In this paper we investigate a charge instability in alice electrodynamics in (2+1)-dimensions due to this local charge conjugation. The instability manifests itself through the creation of a pair of alice fluxes. The final state is one in which the charge is completely delocalized, i.e., it is carried as cheshire charge by the flux pair that gets infinitely separated. We determine the decay rate in terms of the parameters of the model. The relation of this phenomenon with other salient features of 2-dimensional compact QED, such as linear confinement due to instantons/monopoles, is discussed.

description: The task of predicting dialog acts (DA) based on conversational dialog is a key component in the development of conversational agents. Accurately predicting DAs requires a precise modeling of both the conversation and the global tag dependencies. We leverage seq2seq approaches widely adopted in Neural Machine Translation (NMT) to improve the modelling of tag sequentiality. Seq2seq models are known to learn complex global dependencies while currently proposed approaches using linear conditional random fields (CRF) only model local tag dependencies. In this work, we introduce a seq2seq model tailored for DA classification using: a hierarchical encoder, a novel guided attention mechanism and beam search applied to both training and inference. Compared to the state of the art our model does not require handcrafted features and is trained end-to-end. Furthermore, the proposed approach achieves an unmatched accuracy score of 85% on SwDA, and state-of-the-art accuracy score of 91.6% on MRDA.

description: This article presents the results of a survey that explores the relationship between agricultural production and socioeconomic status among rural households in the former-homeland of KwaZulu. The survey area is typical of the communally-owned developing areas in South Africa where the majority of the rural poor reside. An overview of household demographics and farming in the study area is presented, followed by an analysis of the factors that distinguish food-surplus from food-deficit producers. The results illustrate the strong relationship between agricultural production and socio-economic status among rural households in South Africa. They show that both supply and demand factors play a crucial role in determining the availability of sufficient food to assure rural household food security. This finding has important policy implications for reducing food insecurity for a large proportion of the present rural poor and landless.

description: This paper presents evidence from the former Lebowa to evaluate the impact of liquidity, input supply and distribution infrastructure, extension and training services on the quantities of inputs purchased and used by individual small farm-households. Secondly, it assesses the impact of various inputs used on smallholder farm productivity. The results from this study reveal that the key determinants of the main inputs purchased and used by smallholder farmers in the former Lebowa namely fertiliser, seed and other inputs (chemicals, veterinary services and feeds) are; credit, non-fann incomes, extension services and location. Productivity is in turn determined by the application of fertiliser, use of other inputs, training and location. It concludes that farmers with access to credit, incomes and training and located in districts with higher potential natural resources, use more inputs and produce more than their counterparts without access and located in poor agro-ecological zones.

description: In this paper we present new results on the core instability of the 't Hooft Polyakov monopoles we reported on before. This instability, where the spherical core decays in a toroidal one, typically occurs in models in which charge conjugation is gauged. In this paper we also discuss a third conceivable configuration denoted as ``split core'', which brings us to some details of the numerical methods we employed. We argue that a core instability of 't Hooft Polyakov type monopoles is quite a generic feature of models with charged Higgs particles.

description: In this paper we present the theoretical considerations and the design evolution of a proof-of-concept reconfigurable metasurface, primarily used as a tunable microwave absorber, but also as a wavefront manipulation and polarization conversion device in reflection. We outline the design evolution and all considerations taken into account, from the selection of patch shape, unit cell size, and substrate, to the topology of the structure that realizes the desired tunability. The presented design conforms to fabrication restrictions and is co-designed to work with an integrated circuit chip for providing tunable complex loads to the metasurface, using a commercially available semiconductor process. The proposed structure can perform multiple tunable functionalities by appropriately biasing the integrated circuit: Perfect absorption for a wide range of incidence angles of both linear polarization states, accommodating a spectral range in the vicinity of 5 GHz, with potential also for wavefront control, exemplified via anomalous reflection and polarization conversion. The end vision is for such a design to be scalable and deployable as a practical HyperSurface, i.e., an intelligent multi-functional metasurface capable of concurrent reconfigurable functionalities: absorption, beam steering, polarization conversion, wavefront shaping, holography, and sensing.

description: There exist numerous proofs of Bell's theorem, stating that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local realistic theories of nature. Here we define the strength of such nonlocality proofs in terms of the amount of evidence against local realism provided by the corresponding experiments. This measure tells us how many trials of the experiment we should perform in order to observe a substantial violation of local realism. Statistical considerations show that the amount of evidence should be measured by the Kullback-Leibler or relative entropy divergence between the probability distributions over the measurement outcomes that the respective theories predict. The statistical strength of a nonlocality proof is thus determined by the experimental implementation of it that maximizes the Kullback-Leibler divergence from experimental (quantum mechanical) truth to the set of all possible local theories. An implementation includes a specification with which probabilities the different measurement settings are sampled, and hence the maximization is done over all such setting distributions. We analyze two versions of Bell's nonlocality proof (his original proof and an optimized version by Peres), and proofs by Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt, Hardy, Mermin, and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger. We find that the GHZ proof is at least four and a half times stronger than all other proofs, while of the two-party proofs, the one of CHSH is the strongest.

description: We use the idea of the symmetry between the spacetime coordinates x^μand the energy-momentum p^μin quantum theory to construct a momentum space quantum gravity geometry with a metric s_{μν} and a curvature P^λ_{μνρ}. For a closed maximally symmetric momentum space with a constant 3-curvature, the volume of the p-space admits a cutoff with an invariant maximum momentum a. A Wheeler-DeWitt-type wave equation is obtained in the momentum space representation. The vacuum energy density and the self-energy of a charged particle are shown to be finite, and modifications of the electromagnetic radiation density and the entropy density of a system of particles occur for high frequencies.

description: This article firstly gives a short chronological overview of the small farmer development concept in South Africa and shows how this was generally associated with the traditional black rural areas and subsistence agriculture. This restricted the wider application of this concept. Valuable lessons however can and must be learnt from this experience because small farmer programmes is currently viewed as an important aspect of agricultural development in South Africa. The discussion then highlights several problems of which policy constraints, insufficient participation, Jack of ownership, ad hoc participant selection, lack of property rights to farm land, ridged project planning and design, the incorrect choice of a farming model and deficient support services played a significant role-all issues which are valid in the current restructuring environment in the country. In conclusion a number of "rules" are proposed for future small farmer development schemes.
Using the NIAAA brief alcohol screener in social work practice for selected prevention targeting youth
Creators: name: Tubman, Jonathan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This article discusses the use of brief screeners in social work practice to identity adolescents in need of selected interventions for alcohol and other drug use problems. Brief screeners can increase access to alcohol or other drug intervention services and promote the diffusion of evidence-based interventions to underserved communities when integrated in Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) initiatives. The two-item NIAAA Brief Alcohol Use Screener is discussed as a developmentally tailored assessment tool that can be integrated into SBIRT in social work practice to improve detection of early-stage alcohol problems among adolescents who lack routine access to preventative health care. The use of brief, empirically supported alcohol screeners in trainings for social work students and new professionals can enhance their preparation and competence to offer child and adolescent clients appropriate selected intervention options to reduce harms associated with underage alcohol use.

description: We are concerned with catalyst-assisted probabilistic entanglement transformations. A necessary and sufficient condition is presented under which there exist partial catalysts that can increase the maximal transforming probability of a given entanglement transformation. We also design an algorithm which leads to an efficient method for finding the most economical partial catalysts with minimal dimension. The mathematical structure of catalyst-assisted probabilistic transformation is carefully investigated.
