description: Wikipedia is an invaluable resource for factual information about a wide range of entities. However, the quality of articles on less-known entities often lags behind that of the well-known ones. This study proposes a novel approach to enhancing Wikipedia's B and C category biography articles by leveraging personal narratives such as autobiographies and biographies. By utilizing a multi-staged retrieval-augmented generation technique -- REVerSum -- we aim to enrich the informational content of these lesser-known articles. Our study reveals that personal narratives can significantly improve the quality of Wikipedia articles, providing a rich source of reliable information that has been underutilized in previous studies. Based on crowd-based evaluation, REVerSum generated content outperforms the best performing baseline by 17% in terms of integrability to the original Wikipedia article and 28.5\% in terms of informativeness.

description: Precessing ferromagnets are predicted to inject a spin current into adjacent conductors via Ohmic contacts, irrespective of a conductance mismatch with, for example, doped semiconductors. This opens the way to create a pure spin source spin battery by the ferromagnetic resonance. We estimate the spin current and spin bias for different material combinations.
description: The estimate for the magnitude of the spin bias is improved. We find that it is feasible to get a measurable signal of the order of the microwave frequency already for moderate rf intensities

description: Raspberry production has become a significant cash crop that supports the livelihood of many small-scale growers in Central Chile. Almost 100% of raspberry production is exported, and the cultivation of this crop has put pressure on smallholder farmers to integrate into the modern agri-food chain system. The goal of this article is to analyze technical efficiency (TE) levels for a sample of 139 small-scale raspberry farmers in the Maule region of Chile, the main production area for this crop in the country. One focus of this study is to evaluate the association between TE -understood as an indicator of managerial performance- and farmers’ decisions to sell their production directly to the agri-industry or indirectly through an informal middleman. Using a stochastic production frontier model we find that the commercialization decision plays an important role in the productivity and revenue of small-scale raspberry producers. The analysis also reveals a positive relationship between TE levels and income among experienced and trained farmers. The role of implementing food quality and safety standards on farm income is also discussed.

description: Experience with core-collapse supernova simulations shows that accurate accounting of total particle number and 4-momentum can be a challenge for computational radiative transfer. This accurate accounting would be facilitated by the use of particle number and 4-momentum transport equations that allow transparent conversion between volume and surface integrals in both configuration and momentum space. Such conservative formulations of general relativistic kinetic theory in multiple spatial dimensions are presented in this paper, and their relevance to core-collapse supernova simulations is described.

description: In the last decade, due to extreme weather, climate change and the appearance of new market management concepts an increasing amount of attention has been focused on insurance plans providing cover for weather and market risks. Among these is the development of risk community, strengthening the responsibility of farmers based on self-provision, improving the efficiency of public assistance, and the proportional responsibilities of stakeholders. Up-to-date knowledge of actual data on production, market, weather and estimates of possible future production conditions, which is increasingly supported by current information technology all play a key role in the management of risks. -------------------------------------------------------- Az utóbbi évtizedben a szélsőséges időjárás, a klímaváltozás és az új piacszabályozási koncepciók megjelenésének hatására egyre nagyobb figyelem fordul az időjárási és piaci kockázatok biztosítási konstrukción alapuló kezelésére, melyből kiemelhető a kockázatközösség kialakítása, a mezőgazdasági termelők öngondoskodáson alapuló felelősségének megerősítése, az állami segítségnyújtás hatékonyabbá tétele, valamint az érintettek arányos felelősségvállalása. A kockázatok kezelésében igen nagy szerepet játszik a termelési, piaci, időjárási tényadatok pontos, naprakész ismerete, illetve a jövőbeli termelési feltételek becslésének lehetősége, amelyet a jelenlegi információs technológia alkalmazása egyre jobban támogat.
Quark-hadron duality in a relativistic, confining model

description: Quark-hadron duality is an interesting and potentially very useful phenomenon, as it relates the properly averaged hadronic data to a perturbative QCD result in some kinematic regions. While duality is well established experimentally, our current theoretical understanding is still incomplete. We employ a simple model to qualitatively reproduce all the features of Bloom-Gilman duality as seen in electron scattering. In particular, we address the role of relativity, give an explicit analytic proof of the equality of the hadronic and partonic scaling curves, and show how the transition from coherent to incoherent scattering takes place.

description: Higher education faces considerable pressure to innovate in its scope, reach, and modes of delivery, while simultaneously facing a restrictive funding environment. Open Educational Resources (OER) potentially offer a means to address these issues by leveraging the redistributive capacities of the internet and the flexibility of open alternatives to copyright to provide reusable educational materials to a wide audience.

However, the development of OER requires copyright management skills and time that lecturers may not be able to supply. Postgraduate student assistants, trained in copyright clearance and open licensing, can provide additional support to encourage lecturers to share their materials as OER.

This study sought to discern how students could best be employed in order to support OER production in resource-constrained institutions, by analysing a recent OER project conducted at the University of Cape Town. Rogers’ (2003) Diffusion of Innovation framework, complemented by Okada et al’s (2012) OER Reuse framework, was used to investigate how students acquire and adapt teaching materials into OER. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with student adaptors and lecturers, complemented by an artefact analysis of the completed OER.

The study found that the students in this study were best placed to provide additional capacity and intellectual property management skills to lecturers already engaged in sharing OER, but are less able to act as ambassadors for Open Education. This suggests that students might best be employed as capacitating agents in future OER development projects.

Included alongside the thesis document are several supplementary documents, including:
1. Appendix B - the qualitative data, in the form of interview transcripts, that underpinned the analysis2. Appendix C - the consent forms that were signed by student adaptors and lecturers that informed them of the intent to share the data openly

description: We present a weak lensing detection of filamentary structures in the cosmic web, combining data from the Kilo-Degree Survey, the Red Cluster Sequence Lensing Survey and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey. The line connecting luminous red galaxies with a separation of $3 - 5\, h^{-1}\text{Mpc}$ is chosen as a proxy for the location of filaments. We measure the average weak lensing shear around $\sim$11,000 candidate filaments selected in this way from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. After nulling the shear induced by the dark matter haloes around each galaxy, we report a $3.4\,σ$ detection of an anisotropic shear signal from the matter that connects them. Adopting a filament density profile, motivated from $N$-body simulations, the average density at the centre of these filamentary structures is found to be $15 \pm 4$ times the critical density.

description: The collective phenomena of a liquid market is characterized in terms of a particle system scenario. This physical analogy enables us to disentangle intrinsic features from purely stochastic ones. The latter are the result of environmental changes due to a `heat bath' acting on the many-asset system, quantitatively described in terms of a time dependent effective temperature. The remaining intrinsic properties can be widely investigated by applying standard methods of classical many body systems. As an example, we consider a large set of stocks traded at the NYSE and determine the corresponding asset--asset `interaction' potential. In order to investigate in more detail the cluster structure suggested by the short distance behavior of the interaction potential, we perform a connectivity analysis of the spatial distribution of the particle system. In this way, we are able to draw conclusions on the intrinsic cluster persistency independently of the specific market conditions.

description: We present a comprehensive study of the applications of the pixel color-magnitude diagram (pCMD) technique for measuring star formation histories (SFHs) and other stellar population parameters of galaxies, and demonstrate that the technique can also constrain distances. SFHs have previously been measured through either the modeling of resolved-star CMDs or of integrated-light SEDs, yet neither approach can easily be applied to galaxies in the "semi-resolved regime". The pCMD technique has previously been shown to have the potential to measure stellar populations and star formation histories in semi-resolved galaxies. Here we present Pixel Color-Magnitude Diagrams with Python (pcmdpy), a GPU-accelerated package that makes significant computational improvements to the original code and including more realistic physical models. These advances include the simultaneous fitting of distance, modeling a Gaussian metallicity-distribution function, and an observationally-motivated dust model. GPU-acceleration allows these more realistic models to be fit roughly 7x faster than the simpler models in the original code. We present results from a suite of mock tests, showing that with proper model assumptions, the code can simultaneously recover SFH, [Fe/H], distance, and dust extinction. Our results suggest the code, applied to observations with HST-like resolution, should constrain these properties with high precision within 10 Mpc and can be applied to systems out to as far as 100 Mpc. pCMDs open a new window to studying the stellar populations of many galaxies that cannot be readily studied through other means.

description: This paper focuses on the precast supply chain scheduling problem with time-dependent transportation time to minimise the total weighted tardiness (PSCSP_TDT |TWT). In the problem, an order sequence and several job sequences are to be determined simultaneously. At first, through in-depth analysis of problem structure and real data from a precast manufacturer, we approximate the problem into a three-stage order scheduling problem by combining the seven production stages into one differentiation stage, and then explore some useful properties of the schedules for the approximate problem. Subsequently, to solve the small instances for the PSCSP_TDT |TWT, we propose an approximate model-based hybrid dynamic programming and heuristic (AMHDPH) and obtain a lower bound as a by-product of the algorithm. For dealing with medium-or large instances, with considering the complexity of the problem, we propose four approximate model-based hybrid iterated greedy (AMHIG) algorithms by integration of constructive heuristics, structural properties of solutions, an iterated greedy, and a correction heuristic. Comprehensive computational results show that the AMHDPH generates tight lower bounds for small instances and solves the most of small instances to optimality within 60 seconds. Whereas the best AMHIG generates feasible solutions with an average optimality gap below 5 percent for around 70 percent instances.

description: The recently proposed Fluctuating Two-Ray (FTR) model is gaining momentum as a reference fading model in scenarios where two dominant specular waves are present. Despite the numerous research works devoted to the performance analysis under FTR fading, little attention has been paid to effectively understanding the interplay between the fading model parameters and the fading severity. According to a new scale defined in this work, which measures the hyper-Rayleigh character of a fading channel in terms of the Amount of Fading, the outage probability and the average capacity, we see that the FTR fading model exhibits a full hyper-Rayleigh behavior. However, the Two-Wave with Diffuse Power fading model from which the former is derived has only strong hyper-Rayleigh behavior, which constitutes an interesting new insight. We also identify that the random fluctuations in the dominant specular waves are ultimately responsible for the full hyper-Rayleigh behavior of this class of fading channels.

description: A new type of linear response Hall effect is predicted in time-reversal-invariant systems with built-in electric field at zero magnetic field. The Hall response results from a quantum Magnus effect where a self-rotating Bloch electron wavepacket moving under electric field develops an anomalous velocity in the transverse direction. We show that in the ballistic limit the Magnus Hall conductance measures the distribution of Berry curvature on the Fermi surface.

description: Introducing a price on greenhouse gas emissions would not only contribute to reducing the risk of dangerous anthropogenic climate change, but would also generate substantial public revenues. Some of these revenues could be used to cover investment needs for infrastructure providing access to water, sanitation, electricity, telecommunications and transport. In this way, emission pricing could promote sustainable socio-economic development by safeguarding the stability of natural systems which constitute the material basis of economies while at the same time providing public goods that are essential for human well- being. An analysis of several climate scenarios with different stabilization targets and technological assumptions reveals that emission pricing has a substantial potential to close existing access gaps.

description: Mutation in two genes deglycase gene (DJ-1) and retromer complex component gene (VPS35) are linked with neurodegenerative disorder such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. DJ-1 gene located at 1p36 chromosomal position and involved in PD pathogenesis through many pathways including mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative injury. VPS35 gene located at 16q13-q21 chromosomal position and the two pathways, the Wnt signaling pathway, and retromer-mediated DMT1 missorting are proposed for basis of VPS35 related PD. The study focuses on identifying most deleterious SNPs through computational analysis. Result obtained from various bioinformatics tools shows that D149A is most deleterious in DJ-1 and A54W, R365H, and V717M are most deleterious in VPS35. To understand the functionality of protein comparative modeling of DJ-1 and VPS35 native and mutants was done by MODELLER. The generated structures are validated by two web servers–ProSa and RAMPAGE. Molecular dynamic simulation (MDS) analysis done for the most validated structures to know the functional and structural nature of native and mutants protein of DJ-1 and VPS35. Native structure of DJ-1 and VPS35 show more flexibility through MDS analysis. DJ-1 D149A mutant structures become more compact which shows the structural perturbation and loss of DJ-1 protein function which in turn are probable cause for PD. A54W, R365H, and V717M mutant protein of VPS35 also shows compactness which cause structure perturbation and absence of retromer function which likely to be linked to PD pathogenesis. This in silico study may provide a new insight for fundamental molecular mechanism involved in Parkinson’s disease. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: China has realized that for its own sake and from the international community’s perspective, it cannot afford to continue along the conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. Accordingly, the country has placed ecological goals at the same level of priority as policies on economic, political, cultural and social development. Specifically, to meet the grand goal involves not only capping China’s nationwide coal consumption to let it peak before 2020 and carbon emissions peak around 2030, but also putting in place a variety of flagship programs and initiatives, prices and policies. This paper argues that the 2030 carbon emissions peak goal is ambitious but achievable and concludes by arguing why China’s anti-pollution outcomes this time might be different from the previous ones.
Nonthermal Particles and Radiation Produced by Cluster Merger Shocks

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We have developed a numerical model for the temporal evolution of particle and photon spectra resulting from nonthermal processes at the shock fronts formed in merging clusters of galaxies. Fermi acceleration is approximated by injecting power-law distributions of particles during a merger event, subject to constraints on maximum particle energies. We consider synchrotron, bremsstrahlung, Compton, and Coulomb processes for the electrons, nuclear, photomeson, and Coulomb processes for the protons, and knock-on electron production. Broadband radio through gamma-ray light curves radiated by nonthermal protons and primary and secondary electrons are calculated both during and after the merger event. Using ROSAT observations to establish typical parameters for the matter density profile of clusters of galaxies, we find that merger shocks are weak and accelerate particles with relatively soft spectra. Our results suggest that only a minor contribution to the diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray background can originate from cluster merger shocks.

The Basilicata Wealth Fund: Resource Policy and Long-run Economic Development in Southern Italy

description: This paper contributes to the growing political economy literature of within-country natural resources management, by proposing a new resource policy for the oil-rich southern Italian region of Basilicata. The policy proposal is to establish a (regional) wealth fund in which all the royalty revenues from non-renewable natural resource exploitation in Basilicata would be stored and fully converted into low-risk financial assets. The scope is to give priority to long-run investments as to better exploit revenues from large-scale extraction of natural capital. Establishing a wealth fund at the regional sub-national level is a novel approach that can be applied to other resource-rich regions in the world. I label the fund as the Basilicata Wealth Fund (BWF). The BWF would be a regionally owned investment fund, however independently administered from national authorities (for instance, as an independent legal entity under the jurisdiction of the Bank of Italy). In addition, the paper posits a transparent and clear-cut spending fiscal rule in order to let regional authorities use the resource revenues to finance economic policy. The clear advantage from the BWF would be the stronger focus on long-run economic development and the higher accountability, hence avoiding misuse of resource revenues for myopic fiscal spending.

description: Smallholder farmers in many areas of the semiarid tropics are planting exotic tree species that provide alternative income sources, fuel, and building materials. While providing other benefits, these trees often occupy land that could produce annual food crops. This study uses a polyperiod, linear programming model, to explore the opportunity cost of planting Eucalyptus grandis and Grevillea robusta trees compared to crops in the Nyando watershed of western Kenya. Results of the ten-year period wealth maximization model suggest that a representative farmer’s decisions on farm resource allocation are sensitive to changes in the relative prices of short rotation tree products and annual crops. The model also suggests that there are economic tradeoffs between planting trees and crops, as well as between planting different tree species. Timber production is not likely to replace food crops for two main reasons: (1) the high cost of meeting household subsistence requirements from marketed grains, (2) household cash flow needs met by annual crops. Farmers plant eucalyptus for commercial purposes because they can obtain timber products within four years; however if the prices of these short rotation products go down, farmers will prefer to grow timber from high yield grevillea.

Applications of Multi-Valued Quantum Algorithms

description: This paper generalizes both the binary Deutsch-Jozsa and Grover algorithms to $n$-valued logic using the quantum Fourier transform. Our extended Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm is not only able to distinguish between constant and balanced Boolean functions in a single query, but can also find closed expressions for classes of affine logical functions in quantum oracles, accurate to a constant term. Furthermore, our multi-valued extension of the Grover algorithm for quantum database search requires fewer qudits and hence a substantially smaller memory register, as well as fewer wasted information states, to implement. We note several applications of these algorithms and their advantages over the binary cases.

description: The present work aims to clarify the discursive practices of Brazilian scientific literature on chemical pesticides in order to understand, from a historical perspective, which repertoires are available to give meaning to the use of pesticides in Brazil. It further draws a picture of the positions taken in the technical area, from the creation of the “Agrochemicals Law” in 1989 until the present day. A total of 78 articles from ten journals were reviewed using the analysis of the discourses method as well as an overview of the database according to years, authors, and titles. The results show that scientific production is concentered in the south and southeast Brazilian institutions where the authors mostly come from. Their articles analyze presented repertoires that were categorized into three types: "required use of pesticides", "use of pesticides integrated with biological control”, and "no use of pesticides". The results suggest that there is no consensus in the discursive practices of Brazilian scientific literature on agrochemicals. It was concluded that there is in literature the suggestion that integrated pest control could improve the quality of production and lessen impacts on health and the environment. The dominant discourse is still linked to the paradigm that in order to have a high level of food production it is still necessary to use pesticides.

description: We study the ground state entanglement entropy of the quantum Dyson hierarchical spin chain in which the interaction decays algebraically with the distance as $r^{-1-σ}$. We exploit the real-space renormalisation group solution which gives the ground-state wave function in the form of a tree tensor network and provides a manageable recursive expression for the reduced density matrix of the renormalised ground state. Surprisingly, we find that at criticality the entanglement entropy obeys an area law, as opposite to the logarithmic scaling of short-range critical systems and of other non-hierarchical long-range models. We provide also some analytical results in the limit of large and small $σ$ that are tested against the numerical solution of the recursive equations.
