description: High-energy nuclear collisions produce quark-gluon plasmas that expand and hadronize. If the associated phase transition is of first order then the hadronization should proceed through a spinodal phase separation. We explore here the possibility of identifying the associated clumping by analysis of suitable N-particle momentum correlations.

description: The impact of higher-order final-state photonic corrections on the precise determination of the W-boson mass at the Tevatron and LHC colliders is evaluated. The W-mass shift from a fit to the transverse mass distribution is found to be about 10 MeV in the W --> mu nu channel and a few MeV in the W --> e nu channel. The calculation, which is implemented in the Monte Carlo event generator HORACE for data analysis, can contribute to reduce the uncertainty associated to the W mass measurement at present and future hadron collider experiments.

description: Governments worldwide have implemented climate change mitigation policies that aim to encourage abatement by changing agricultural practices. In Australia, farmers can gain carbon credits for sequestering carbon or reducing emissions. In addition to mitigation, these 'carbon farming' activities often generate ancillary (co-)benefits, such as creating native habitat or preventing erosion. This paper presents results of an Australia-wide choice experiment, conducted to estimate community values for climate change mitigation and the co-benefits of carbon farming. Values for carbon farming benefits are shown to depend on respondent’s opinions about climate change. Respondents who do not believe that climate change is happening have a lower willingness to pay for reducing Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions than people who believe climate change is (at least partly) caused by human actions. On average, respondents’ were willing to pay $1.13/Mt of CO2-e reduction. Respondents were willing to pay around $19/ha increase in the area of native vegetation on farmland. Value estimates for reducing soil erosion were not significant. Our results demonstrate that the community benefits from carbon farming extend beyond their effects on climate change mitigation. Future policies should take these positive values for co- benefits into account.

The robustness of the cavity design is confirmed by optical fiber-based measurements of passive cavities fabricated in silicon. For microcavities operating in the lambda = 1500 nm wavelength band, quality factors between 1.3-4.0x10^4 are measured for significant variations in cavity geometry and for resonant mode normalized frequencies shifted by as much as 10% of the nominal value.

Year: 2024

description: This Report summarizes student projects from LARC444/553 Fall 2023 and is in collaboration with members of the SEEDS Sustainability Program, Campus and Community Planning Department and LARC 444/ 553 teaching team, Cynthia Girling and Keunhyun Park. The course Green Network Planning introduces a comprehensive, landscape based approach to long-range planning of the greenspaces of cities to enhance both ecosystem and human purposes. Green Networks are an interconnected network of green patches and corridors incorporating parks, natural areas, remnant green spaces, streets and other vegetated spaces of the city. This course investigates a proactive, long-term planning approach enabling these green networks to be considered in conjunction with growth and development planning. This report summarises the core concepts and inter-relationships between green networks, parks, urban forestry, green infrastructure and active mobility on campus. The campus and immediate surroundings were divided into 7 study areas (see fig. 3) and teams of students were assigned to one of the study areas. Through foundational policy context the students generated creative solutions to urban greenspace challenges. These findings can be summarised as: • Enhancing the quality and ecological value of greenways • Habitat protection, by enhancing the resilience of green space to climate change • Improve water quality, by actively manage green and blue systems • Increase connectivity and implement sustainable transportation modes by creating buffered bike lanes • Help increase Musqueam presence on campus • Increase native plantings to uphold and resstore ecosystems • reinforce habitat connectivity by facilitating the movement of pollinators between fragmented areas. • Increase accessible, safe and well lit streets. • Increase educational nodes for students and public.

description: Human activity recognition using multiple sensors is a challenging but promising task in recent decades. In this paper, we propose a deep multimodal fusion model for activity recognition based on the recently proposed feature fusion architecture named EmbraceNet. Our model processes each sensor data independently, combines the features with the EmbraceNet architecture, and post-processes the fused feature to predict the activity. In addition, we propose additional processes to boost the performance of our model. We submit the results obtained from our proposed model to the SHL recognition challenge with the team name "Yonsei-MCML."

description: We generalize QCD at asymptotically large isospin chemical potential to an arbitrary even number of flavors. We also allow for small quark chemical potentials, which stress the coincident Fermi surfaces of the paired quarks and lead to a sign problem in Monte Carlo simulations. We derive the corresponding low-energy effective theory in both p- and ϵ-expansion and quantify the severity of the sign problem. We construct the random matrix theory describing our physical situation and show that it can be mapped to a known random matrix theory at low baryon density so that new insights can be gained without additional calculations. In particular, we explain the Silver Blaze phenomenon at high isospin density. We also introduce stressed singular values of the Dirac operator and relate them to the pionic condensate. Finally we comment on extensions of our work to two-color QCD.

description: The fourth order in derivatives New Massive Gravity model NMG, describes a massive spin-2 particle in $D=2+1$. At the linearized level a proof of unitarity necessarily implies that the generalization to higher dimensions includes non-unitary massless spin-2 modes. The linearized version of NMG is dual to the Fierz-Pauli model FP. Here we examine the unitarity of higher derivative spin-3 models, analogues to the NMG, dual to the Singh-Hagen model SH. We find that the same kind of restriction on the dimension of the space also happens in this case, and the models are physical only in $D=2+1$.

description: Excerpts from the report: This is a report of findings in a nationwide "spot check" of uses of molasses as a feed for livestock. The purpose of these interviews was to determine and to publicize the experiences of users, so that others could benefit from these experiences. A total of 181 farmers, dairymen, sheep raisers, and feed-lot operators were visited. This group used more than 1 percent of all the molasses distributed for livestock feed, including mixed feeds. The group's volume of use was between 1/10 and 1/15 of the estimated total of molasses fed in liquid form on farms. Numerous reports have been published by various institutions and sellers of molasses regarding tests, applications, and results achieved with molasses feeding. Prior to this study, no analysis had been made of the experiences of molasses users relative to costs, returns, advantages, and disadvantages of molasses as a feed, to provide an economic evaluation of the results of feeding experiments. Although it cannot be used to represent the average of all users, the information obtained in the spot check indicates many of the practices and attitudes of livestock feeders that affect the breadth of the market for feed molasses.

The targum (1955:May 3 - 1955:May 19)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1955

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The spectral representation separates the contributions of geometrical arrangement (topology) and intrinsic constituent properties in a composite. The aim of paper is to present a numerical algorithm based on the Monte Carlo integration and contrainted-least-squares methods to resolve the spectral density function for a given system. The numerical method is verified by comparing the results with those of Maxwell-Garnett effective permittivity expression. Later, it is applied to a well-studied rock-and-brine system to instruct its utility. The presented method yields significant microstructural information in improving our understanding how microstructure influences the macroscopic behaviour of composites without any intricate mathematics.

description: On 15 February 2013, the asteroid 367943 Duende (2012 DA14) experienced a near-Earth encounter at an altitude of 27,700 km or 4.2 Earth radii. We present here the results of an extensive, multi-observatory campaign designed to probe for spectral and/or rotational changes to Duende due to gravitational interactions with the Earth during the flyby. Our spectral data reveal no changes within the systematic uncertainties of the data. Post-flyby lightcurve photometry places strong constraints on the rotation state of Duende, showing that it is in non-principal axis rotation with fundamental periods of P_1 = 8.71 +/- 0.03 and P_2 = 23.7 +/- 0.2 hours. Multiple lightcurve analysis techniques, coupled with theoretical considerations and delay-doppler radar imaging, allows us to assign these periods to specific rotational axes of the body. In particular we suggest that Duende is now in a non-principal, short axis mode rotation state with a precessional period equal to P_1 and oscillation about the symmetry axis at a rate equal to P_2. Temporal and signal-to-noise limitations inherent to the pre-flyby photometric dataset make it difficult to definitively diagnose whether these periods represent a change imparted due to gravitational torques during the flyby. However, based on multiple analysis techniques and a number of plausibility arguments, we suggest that Duende experienced a rotational change during the planetary encounter with an increase in its precessional rotation period. Our preferred interpretation of the available data is that the precession rate increased from 8.4 hours prior to the flyby to 8.7 hours afterwards. A companion paper by Benson et al. (2019) provides a more detailed dynamical analysis of this event and compares the data to synthetic lightcurves computed from a simple shape model of Duende. (abbreviated abstract)

Subjects: subject: Agribusiness
subject: Interruption of employment, Childbirth, Off-farm employment

description: To assess the work interruption information and examine the correlation between childbirth and the off-farm employment interruption of rural women, this article collected 3 820 women’s childbirth and employment information over the past 18 years (1998-2015), using multivariate regression to explore the impact of female individual, family and employment characteristics on probability of employment interruption and duration of interruption. Results indicated that overall, 40% of women got interrupted after childbirth in rural areas and the average duration of interruption was about 4 years. Human capital factors, such as their work experience, first childbirth age and education experience, influence the probability of employment interruption, but these factors do not extend the duration of interruption for women who got interrupted. It is concluded that increasing the human capital of rural women is helpful to increasing their labor force participation rate after childbirth.

Under weak constraints and without any artificially introduced decoherence or irreversibility, the smaller of the two subsystems shows thermodynamic behaviour like relaxation into an equilibrium, maximization of entropy and the emergence of the Boltzmann energy distribution. This generic behaviour results from entanglement.

description: Magnetic resonance imaging has been widely applied in clinical diagnosis, however, is limited by its long data acquisition time. Although imaging can be accelerated by sparse sampling and parallel imaging, achieving promising reconstruction images with a fast reconstruction speed remains a challenge. Recently, deep learning approaches have attracted a lot of attention for its encouraging reconstruction results but without a proper interpretability. In this letter, to enable high-quality image reconstruction for the parallel magnetic resonance imaging, we design the network structure from the perspective of sparse iterative reconstruction and enhance it with the residual structure. The experimental results of a public knee dataset show that compared with the optimization-based method and the latest deep learning parallel imaging methods, the proposed network has less error in reconstruction and is more stable under different acceleration factors.

description: Several factors are deemed to influence farms’ economic performance and competitiveness: endogenous characteristics, such as farm structure and entrepreneur’s features, as well exogenous factors related to the infrastructure endowment, networks and immaterial factors. A deeper knowledge of the role each factor plays in different geographical areas can help to better address the rural policies and to improve their efficacy. In this respect, the present study aims at analyzing how factors that potentially affect competitiveness differ within Italian agriculture and the way those factors act on the economic performance of agriculture at provincial level. The analysis was carried out in two steps. First, in order to define the main characteristics of the Italian agricultural systems a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been carried out using data collected by the last Italian Agricultural Census, carried out in 2010, at provincial level and component scores have been used to characterize provincial agricultural systems. In a second step, PCA results were used as explanatory variables in regression models to evaluate their relationship with agricultural productivity and performance indicators at provincial level. The work highlighted two main results. First, agricultural differentiation factors identified in the PCA discriminate two main territorial agricultural models linked to different agricultural systems organization and development strategies. Secondly, the determinants of agricultural productivity and performance are mainly endogenous to the sector and only few context indicators seem to act as explanatory variables.

description: Excerpts from the report: Although watermelons have always sustained considerable loss and damage in rail shipment, the problem has become more acute in recent years in shipments from the southeastern producing areas to northern markets. Most of this substantial increase in melon damage has been directly attributable to the increased production and shipment during the last 5 years of several new and improved varieties of long-type melons that are considerably more susceptible to bruising than the older varieties of round- type melons. Shipping experiments by rail from Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina to northern markets with the Congo variety of watermelon during the 1953 and 1954 seasons disclosed that loading this long-type melon crosswise of the car resulted in a reduction of 71.6 percent in melon bruising, 68 percent in the number of cracked melons, and 30.6 percent in surface scarring as compared with loading melons lengthwise of the car (the conventional method). The overall reduction in total external damage to melons was 70.5 percent. Observations were made on a total for both seasons of 111 test cars with the melons loaded crosswise and 109 companion carloads of comparable melons loaded lengthwise.

description: Many social, technological and biological interactions involve network relationships whose outcome intimately depends on the structure of the network and on the strengths of the connections. Yet, although much information is now available concerning the structure of many networks, the strengths are more difficult to measure. Here we show that, for one particular social network, notably the e-mail network, a suitable measure of the strength of the connections can be available. We also propose a simple mechanism, based on positive feedback and reciprocity, that can explain the observed behavior and that hints toward specific dynamics of formation and reinforcement of network connections. Network data from contexts different from social sciences indicate that power-law, and generally broad, distributions of the connection strength are ubiquitous, and the proposed mechanism has a wide range of applicability.

description: The development of information and communication technologies (ICT) is currently conditioned by the development of industry, society and many other factors. The ever increasing trend of ICT development is directly connected with the agricultural enterprises. ICT play important roles in the development of these enterprises and automation of their processes. Revitalisation of financing and budgets, dynamically evolving strong competitive environment and growing regulation lead to ever growing need for swift reactions and making precise decisions in all institutions and organisations, including manufacturing and agricultural organisations. Access to the right information in the right time is crucial for every subject. There are several fundamental areas for modern agricultural enterprises. All processes carried out in agricultural enterprises need to be planned and managed; automation of the processes via suitable information systems brings significant competitive advantages and strengthened market positions. Enterprise resource planning systems are convenient in this respect. The systems represent efficient instruments for planning and management of all crucial internal processes, particularly at the tactical and operational levels of management. The paper provides a picture of the current state of business information systems’ application in agricultural enterprises in Slovak republic and analyses the influence of selected factors (benefits and functions of the information system) on the satisfaction of managers with the implemented information system.

description: Recently, Hopfield and Krotov introduced the concept of {\em dense associative memories} [DAM] (close to spin-glasses with $P$-wise interactions in a disordered statistical mechanical jargon): they proved a number of remarkable features these networks share and suggested their use to (partially) explain the success of the new generation of Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to a remarkable ante-litteram analysis by Baldi \& Venkatesh, among these properties, it is known these networks can handle a maximal amount of stored patterns $K$ scaling as $K \sim N^{P-1}$.\\ In this paper, once introduced a {\em minimal dense associative network} as one of the most elementary cost-functions falling in this class of DAM, we sacrifice this high-load regime -namely we force the storage of {\em solely} a linear amount of patterns, i.e. $K = αN$ (with $α>0$)- to prove that, in this regime, these networks can correctly perform pattern recognition even if pattern signal is $O(1)$ and is embedded in a sea of noise $O(\sqrt{N})$, also in the large $N$ limit. To prove this statement, by extremizing the quenched free-energy of the model over its natural order-parameters (the various magnetizations and overlaps), we derived its phase diagram, at the replica symmetric level of description and in the thermodynamic limit: as a sideline, we stress that, to achieve this task, aiming at cross-fertilization among disciplines, we pave two hegemon routes in the statistical mechanics of spin glasses, namely the replica trick and the interpolation technique.\\ Both the approaches reach the same conclusion: there is a not-empty region, in the noise-$T$ vs load-$α$ phase diagram plane, where these networks can actually work in this challenging regime; in particular we obtained a quite high critical (linear) load in the (fast) noiseless case resulting in $\lim_{β\to \infty}α_c(β)=0.65$.

description: This paper examines the possibility of spatial spillover effects of transport infrastructure in Iran provinces. We estimate the regional spillovers of the transport infrastructure stock by applying a spatial Durbin model from 1980-2015. The results indicate that positive spillover effect exist due to the connectivity characteristic of transport infrastructure at the national level. A spatial Durbin model that obtains spatial dependence in a given province has a positive direct effects on agricultural output. Also, at the national level, the spillover effect of road infrastructure on elasticity of output in neighboring provinces varies with respect to the spatial weight matrix used in the spatial Durbin model. Moreover, our analysis shows that enhancement in road infrastructure in the provinces, south region shows a larger positive spillover effect on agricultural output when compared to central or west provinces. At the regional level, transport infrastructure spillover effects change significantly all the time among Iran’s five macro-regions.

description: Archives of historical photographs have a great potential for "geo- or spatial sciences", for they can provide highly relevant visual data on historical landscapes, populated places and settlement structures, including those now destroyed. Processing of these archives represents many challenges, among them the application of geoinformatic concepts and information technologies. The article presents the example of geo-referencing, crowdsourcing, and other computer-based technologies applied to the archival photographs of today-destroyed sites on the Czech – Bavarian border, where many villages, farm sites and monuments were destroyed in the 1950s or abandoned as a consequence of post-WWII development. In the situation of dramatically changing landscape and land use, historical photographs are an important source of documentation for both research and virtual reconstruction of disappeared places, landscape, and society.
HST survey of the Orion Nebula Cluster in the H$_2$O 1.4 $μ$m absorption band: II. The substellar IMF down to planetary masses

description: We exploit the ability of the Hubble Space Telescope to probe near infrared water absorption present in the atmosphere of low-mass stars, brown dwarfs and planetary mass objects to create a very pure sample of Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) members, not affected by contamination from background stars and galaxies which lack water absorption. Thanks to these data we infer the Initial Mass Function (IMF) of the ONC in the $0.005 - 1.4$M$_{\odot}$ regime, i.e. down to few Jupiter masses. The young age of the ONC, $\sim1$ Myr, provides a snapshot of the outcome of star formation for the present-day conditions (metallicity, temperature, pressure) of typical Milky Way disk molecular clouds. We demonstrate that the IMF of the ONC is well described by either a log-normal function or a broken power-law, with parameter values qualitatively in agreement with the canonical Chabrier or Kroupa forms for the Milky Way disk IMF. This continuity in the mass distribution provides clues to the fact that the same physical processes may be regulating formation of stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects. Both the canonical IMF forms under-predict the observed number of very low mass members (below $0.1$ M$_\odot$), a regime where our data allows more precise constraints. Nevertheless, we do not observe a rise or secondary peak in the brown dwarfs or planetary mass regimes. Our study thus contradicts findings based on broad-band near infrared ground-based photometry, which predict an extremely high number of free-floating planets, but likely suffer from unaccounted background contamination.
