description: Recent technological advances have enabled to isolate, control and measure the properties of a single atom, leading to the possibility to perform statistics on the behavior of single quantum systems. These experiments have enabled to check a question which was out of reach previously: Is the statistics of a repeatedly excitation of an atom N times equivalent to a single excitation of an ensemble of N atoms? We present a new method to analyze quantum measurements which leads to the postulation that the answer is most probably no. We discuss the merits of the analysis and its conclusion.

 Type: — CHINA. Xizang [Tibet], Saga, Nyalam road, 17 August 2011, Yu, Hou & Zhang 5607 (holotype PE-2264191!) (Fig. 4).
 Diagnosis: —Dwarfish, densely pubescent annual up to 6 cm with single stem or with short lateral branches. Leaves linear, to 2 mm wide. Inflorescence very short producing a few flowers with a perianth consisting of one segment. Bracts slightly shorter than fruits (the fruit margins are visible). Fruit ovoid, 2.5–2.7 × 2 mm, glabrous, apex with two-fid tip, no visible detachments of the pericarp from the seed coat, marginal wing conspicuous (0.3–0.4 mm) (Fig. 5).
 Ecology and distribution: —Sandy substrates in river basins. It is probably the highest-altitude representative of Corispermum (alt. 4000−4700 m). The species was collected from a single locality (Fig. 3) with many specimens being deposited in PE.
 IUCN Red List Category: —The appropriate data on abundance and/or distribution of the taxon is lacking. It can be included in the Data Deficient (DD) as well as Not Evaluated (NE) categories of IUCN Red List categories (IUCN 2010) as there is inadequate information to make a direct or indirect assessment of its risk of extinction based on its distribution and/or population status.
 Taxonomical notes: —The new species differs from all Corispermum taxa known from China and adjacent states (Iljin 1936, Grubov 1966, Zhu et al. 2003) by the linear leaves up to 2 mm. The fruit anatomy (Fig. 6) is similar to some other Tibetan species (C. lhasaense, C. falcatum, and C. pseudofalcatum), but the fruit and its wing are significantly smaller.

description: We consider here the dynamics of some homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models with $N$ interacting classical scalar fields non-minimally coupled to the spacetime curvature, as an attempt to generalize some recent results obtained for one and two scalar fields. We show that a Lyapunov function can be constructed under certain conditions for a large class of models, suggesting that chaotic behavior is ruled out for them. Typical solutions tend generically to the empty de Sitter (or Minkowski) fixed points, and the previous asymptotic results obtained for the one field model remain valid. In particular, we confirm that, for large times and a vanishing cosmological constant, even in the presence of the extra scalar fields, the universe tends to an infinite diluted matter dominated era.

description: We present a fast, high-order accurate and adaptive boundary integral scheme for solving the Stokes equations in complex---possibly nonsmooth---geometries in two dimensions. The key ingredient is a set of panel quadrature rules capable of evaluating weakly-singular, nearly-singular and hyper-singular integrals to high accuracy. Near-singular integral evaluation, in particular, is done using an extension of the scheme developed in J.~Helsing and R.~Ojala, {\it J. Comput. Phys.} {\bf 227} (2008) 2899--2921. The boundary of the given geometry is ``panelized'' automatically to achieve user-prescribed precision. We show that this adaptive panel refinement procedure works well in practice even in the case of complex geometries with large number of corners. In one example, for instance, a model 2D vascular network with 378 corners required less than 200K discretization points to obtain a 9-digit solution accuracy.

description: Finite magnesium oxide nanotubes are investigated. Stacks of four parallel squares, hexagons, octagons, and decagons are constructed and studied by the pseudopotential density functional theory within the local-density approximation. Optimized structures are slightly distorted stacks of polygons. These clusters are insulators and the band gap of 8.5 eV is constant over an investigated range of the diameters of stacked polygonal rings. Using the L"owdin population analysis a charge transfer towards the oxygen atoms is estimated as 1.4, which indicates that the mixed ionocovalent bonding exists in investigated MgO nanotubes.

description: We investigate the possible presence of neutral hydrogen (HI) in intergalactic filaments at very low redshift ($z\sim 0.08$), by stacking a set of 274,712 2dFGRS galaxy pairs over 21-cm maps obtained with dedicated observations conducted with the Parkes radio telescope, over a total sky area of approximately 1,300 square degrees covering two patches in the northern and in the southern Galactic hemispheres. The stacking is performed by combining local maps in which each pair is brought to a common reference frame; the resulting signal from the edge galaxies is then removed to extract the filament residual emission. We repeat the analysis on maps cleaned removing either 10 or 20 foreground modes in a principal component analysis. Our study does not reveal any clear HI excess in the considered filaments in either case; we determine upper limits on the total filament HI brightness temperature at $T_{\rm b} \lesssim 10.3 \,μ\text{K}$ for the 10-mode and at $T_{\rm b} \lesssim 4.8 \,μ\text{K}$ for the 20-mode removed maps at the 95% confidence level. These estimates translate into upper limits for the local filament HI density parameter, $Ω_{\rm HI}^{\rm (f)} \lesssim 7.0\times10^{-5}$ and $Ω_{\rm HI}^{\rm (f)} \lesssim 3.2\times10^{-5}$ respectively, and for the HI column density, $N_{\rm HI} \lesssim 4.6\times10^{15}\,\text{cm}^{-2}$ and $N_{\rm HI} \lesssim 2.1\times10^{15}\,\text{cm}^{-2}$ respectively. These column density constraints are consistent with previous detections of HI in the warm-hot intergalactic medium obtained observing broad Ly $α$ absorption systems. The present work shows for the first time how such constraints can be achieved using the stacking of galaxy pairs on 21-cm maps.

description: In this paper the compaction level of a sandy-loam soil in a humid tropical climate, most suited for maize cultivation for high productivity was investigated. This involved studying the yield of maize under varying compaction conditions of the soil. Five experimental plots of land at the teaching and research farm of the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, Nigeria were used for the exercise. Four of the plots were tilled, while one was left in its original state. Three of the four tilled plots were compacted by wheel traffic; and the compaction values of all the five plots, measured by their bulk densities are 1.17g/cm3, 1.20g/cm3, 1.23g/cm3, 1.28g/cm3, and 1.35g/cm3. The plot that was left in its original untilled and un-compacted state was used as the control plot. Irrigation of the field, weed and pest controls were done uniformly for all the plots. The maize plant was cultivated between October and February and its growth and yield estimated in terms of plant height, leaf area, number of plants to reach maturity, and quantum of dry matter and grain obtained. Results of early shoot emergence showed that plots with lower bulk densities had higher percentage emergence than the ones with higher bulk densities. Furthermore, it was found that the maize yield was significantly affected by the soil bulk density at P<0.05. A compaction value of 1.31g/cm3 is determined as optimal for maize cultivation in a sandy-loam soil in a humid tropical environment.

description: We address the physics implications of a precision determination of the weak charge of the proton, QWP, from a parity violating elastic electron proton scattering experiment to be performed at the Jefferson Laboratory. We present the Standard Model (SM) expression for QWP including one-loop radiative corrections, and discuss in detail the theoretical uncertainties and missing higher order QCD corrections. Owing to a fortuitous cancellation, the value of QWP is suppressed in the SM, making it a unique place to look for physics beyond the SM. Examples include extra neutral gauge bosons, supersymmetry, and leptoquarks. We argue that a QWP measurement will provide an important complement to both high energy collider experiments and other low energy electroweak measurements. The anticipated experimental precision requires the knowledge of the order alpha_s corrections to the pure electroweak box contributions. We compute these contributions for QWP, as well as for the weak charges of heavy elements as determined from atomic parity violation.

description: We develop a multifractal random tilling that fills the square. The multifractal is formed by an arrangement of rectangular blocks of different sizes, areas and number of neighbors. The overall feature of the tilling is an heterogeneous and anisotropic random self-affine object. The multifractal is constructed by an algorithm that makes successive sections of the square. At each $n$-step there is a random choice of a parameter $ρ_i$ related to the section ratio. For the case of random choice between $ρ_1$ and $ρ_2$ we find analytically the full spectrum of fractal dimensions.

description: The value of USDA reports in commodity futures markets has been intensively researched, while whether such an effect is increasing or decreasing over time has rarely been answered. Given the fact that much more diverse information is available in today’s futures market, understanding trends in the impact of USDA announcement effects is crucial for market participants. This study measures how USDA reports’ announcement impact on market volatility has changed over time in both corn and soybean futures markets by adopting a new continuous approach with time-varying coefficients added to a model of the reports’ impact. The result shows that USDA reports are still informative and influential in commodity futures markets, with a generally increasing trend in the impact of announcement effects, while there are some reports whose impact show a declining potential.
Dynamics in Non-Globally-Hyperbolic Static Spacetimes II: General Analysis of Prescriptions for Dynamics

description: It was previously shown by one of us that in any static, non-globally-hyperbolic, spacetime it is always possible to define a sensible dynamics for a Klein-Gordon scalar field. The prescription proposed for doing so involved viewing the spatial derivative part, $A$, of the wave operator as an operator on a certain $L^2$ Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ and then defining a positive, self-adjoint operator on $\mathcal H$ by taking the Friedrichs extension (or other positive extension) of $A$. However, this analysis left open the possibility that there could be other inequivalent prescriptions of a completely different nature that might also yield satisfactory definitions of the dynamics of a scalar field. We show here that this is not the case. Specifically, we show that if the dynamics agrees locally with the dynamics defined by the wave equation, if it admits a suitable conserved energy, and if it satisfies certain other specified conditions, then it must correspond to the dynamics defined by choosing some positive, self-adjoint extension of $A$ on $\mathcal H$. Thus, subject to our requirements, the previously given prescription is the only possible way of defining the dynamics of a scalar field in a static, non-globally-hyperbolic, spacetime. In a subsequent paper, this result will be applied to the analysis of scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational perturbations of anti-de Sitter spacetime. By doing so, we will determine all possible choices of boundary conditions at infinity in anti-de Sitter spacetime that give rise to sensible dynamics.

 Notes: — Iljin (1936) and some electronic resources (e.g., IPNI 2013) indicate that C. macrospermum Trautvetter (1884: 130) is a nomenclatural synonym of C. macrocarpum. However, Trautvetter (1884) did not describe C. macrospermum as a separate species, and the epithet “macrospermum” is indeed a typographical error (see also correct citation in Trautvetter 1884: 130, ” C. macrospermum [macrocarpum] Bunge in Maxim [owicz]).”

description: Within the framework of covariant confined quark model, we compute the transition form factors of $D$ and $D_s$ mesons decaying to light scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$. The transition form factors are then utilized to compute the semileptonic branching fractions. We study the channels namely, $D_{(s)}^+ \to f_0(980) \ell^+ ν_\ell$ and $D \to a_0(980) \ell^+ ν_\ell$ for $\ell = e$ and $μ$. For computation of semileptonic branching fractions, we consider the $a_0(980)$ meson to be the conventional quark-antiquark structure and the $f_0(980)$ meson as the admixture of $s\bar{s}$ and light quark-antiquark pairs. Our findings are found to support the recent BESIII data.

description: Before the twentieth century, inflation was more or less sporadic. There were intermittent episodes of runaway prices, superimposed on a general upward tilt in prices. We are now in the Age of Inflation; inflation has become a way of life. The public focuses particularly on short-term price changes, but tends to ignore how these changes accumulate over time. In fact, inflation has become worldwide and has an overwhelming effect on economic behavior. If societies are to make a break from inflation as a way of life, the first thing to do is to identify the major reason for changing prices. It is the money supply. It is a syndrome of denial to repeatedly attribute price fluctuations to other causes.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: Much uncertainty surrounds the Uruguay Round of Trade negotiations, especially with respect to agriculture. Negotiations are continuing. However, the outcomes are far from certain. Failure of this round of trade negotiations would not mean an end to GATT. Importantly, the existing environment for agricultural trade would not be immediately changed. Longer term effects are unclear. The biggest loss for U.S. agriculture would be the failure to realize the economic growth in developing countries that a successful Uruguay Round would stimulate and increasing market opportunities that would result from reductions in trade distorting subsidies and import barriers of developed countries.

description: Recent experiments on similarly shaped polymer micro-cavity lasers show a dramatic difference in the far-field emission patterns. We show for different deformations of the ellipse, quadrupole and hexadecapole that the large differences in the far-field emission patterns is explained by the differing ray dynamics corresponding to each shape. Analyzing the differences in the appropriate phase space for ray motion, it is shown that the differing geometries of the unstable manifolds of periodic orbits are the decisive factors in determining the far-field pattern. Surprisingly, we find that strongly chaotic ray dynamics is compatible with highly directional emission in the far-field.

description: We consider a variational two-dimensional Landau-de Gennes model in the theory of nematic liquid crystals in a disk of radius $R$. We prove that under a symmetric boundary condition carrying a topological defect of degree $\frac{k}{2}$ for some given {\bf even} non-zero integer $k$, there are exactly two minimizers for all large enough $R$. We show that the minimizers do not inherit the full symmetry structure of the energy functional and the boundary data. We further show that there are at least five symmetric critical points.

Reformulation and Interpretation of SMS Braneworld

description: We reformulate the Shiromizu, Maeda and Sasaki (SMS) braneworlds within the framework of the five-dimensional Einstein equations. In many applications of the braneworld Einstein field equations, the Weyl term is attributed to the bulk, thus splitting the non-Einsteinian terms into `bulk' and `brane' terms. Here by employing standard geometrical identities, we show that such a split is non-unique, since these terms get mixed up in different formulations. An important consequence of this non-uniqueness is that even though the full brane-bulk systems in all such formulations are completely equivalent, important differences can arise were one to truncate different formulations by throwing away the associated `bulk' terms. This is particularly likely to be the case in more general anisotropic/inhomogeneous settings with non-AdS bulks, in which the usual truncation of the SMS (which throws away the Weyl term) would not coincide with the full system. We emphasize that rather than providing support for any truncation, these differences show clearly the dangers of using any truncated equations and provide a strong argument in favour of studying the full brane-bulk system. The different formulations we provide also permit different ways of approaching the full brane-bulk system which may greatly facilitate its study. An example of this is the second-order nature of the formulations given here as opposed to the SMS's formulation which is third-order.

On Polar Magnetic Field Reversal in Solar Cycles 21, 22, 23, and 24

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: The Sun's polar magnetic fields change their polarity near the maximum of sunspot activity. We analyzed the polarity reversal epochs in Solar Cycles 21 to 24. There was a triple reversal in the N-hemisphere in Solar Cycle 24 and single reversals in the rest of cases. Epochs of the polarity reversal from measurements of the Wilcox Solar Observatory (WSO) are compared with ones when the reversals were completed in the N- and S-hemispheres. The reversal times were compared with hemispherical sunspot activity and with the Heliospheric Current Sheet (HCS) tilts, too. It was found that reversals occurred at the epoch of the sunspot activity maximum in Cycles 21 and 23, and after the corresponding maxima in Cycles 22 and 24, and one-two years after maximal HCS tilts calculated in WSO. Reversals in Solar Cycles 21, 22, 23, and 24 were completed first in the N-hemisphere and then in the S-hemisphere after 0.6, 1.1, 0.7, and 0.9 years, respectively. The polarity inversion in the near-polar latitude range \pm(55-90)^\circ occurred from 0.5 to 2.0 years earlier that the times when the reversals were completed in corresponding hemisphere. Using the maximal smoothed WSO polar field as precursor we estimated that amplitude of Solar Cycle 25 will reach 116 \pm 12 in values of smoothed monthly sunspot numbers and will be comparable with the current cycle amplitude equaled to 116.4.

The Evaluation of V_{ud}, Experiment and Theory

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The value of the V_{ud} matrix element of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be derived from nuclear superallowed beta decays, neutron decay, and pion beta decay. We survey current world data for all three. Today, the most precise value of V_{ud} comes from the nuclear decays; however, the precision is limited not by experimental error but by the estimated uncertainty in theoretical corrections. Experimental uncertainty does limit the neutron-decay result, which, though statistically consistent with the nuclear result, is approximately a factor of three poorer in precision. The value obtained for $V_{ud}$ leads to a result that differs at the 98% confidence level from the unitarity condition for the CKM matrix. We examine the reliability of the small calculated corrections that have been applied to the data, and assess the likelihood of even higher quality nuclear data becoming available to confirm or deny the discrepancy. Some of the required experiments depend upon the availability of intense radioactive beams. Others are possible today.

Remarks. Previously known as B. baska, Praschag et al. (2008) reidentified populations from Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra as B. affinis. Some authors have considered B. affinis native to Singapore and extirpated (Auliya 2007; Ng & Lim 2010; TTWG 2021), but no historical records of “native” individuals exist. Instead, there are only two records of B. affinis from Singapore, one of an individual released at SBG (Johnson 1964), which is ZRC.2.214 and was collected on 12 September 1961, and a large individual that was seen on 9 January 1988 at USRP (Lim 1988).

Year: 2021

description: We give some numerical observations on the total number of infected by the SARS-CoV-2 in Italy. The analysis is based on a tanh formula involving two parameters. A polynomial correlation between the parameters gives an upper bound for the time of the peak of new infected. A numerical indicator of the temporal variability of the upper bound is introduced. The result and the possibility to extend the analysis to other countries are discussed in the conclusions.

description: Recent advances in cloud computing have simplified the way that both software development and testing are performed. Unfortunately, this is not true for battery testing for which state of the art test-beds simply consist of one phone attached to a power meter. These test-beds have limited resources, access, and are overall hard to maintain; for these reasons, they often sit idle with no experiment to run. In this paper, we propose to share existing battery testing setups and build BatteryLab, a distributed platform for battery measurements. Our vision is to transform independent battery testing setups into vantage points of a planetary-scale measurement platform offering heterogeneous devices and testing conditions. In the paper, we design and deploy a combination of hardware and software solutions to enable BatteryLab's vision. We then preliminarily evaluate BatteryLab's accuracy of battery reporting, along with some system benchmarking. We also demonstrate how BatteryLab can be used by researchers to investigate a simple research question.
