description: Farm efficiency analysis provides significant insights into farms’ potential to enhance agricultural productivity. This article reports on an investigation of technology adoption and technical efficiency (TE) in the Ethiopian maize sector. We estimated TE while accounting for the potential technological difference between improved and local maize varieties and addressing self-selection bias resulting from farmers’ decisions to adopt new crop varieties. Using comprehensive household-level data collected in 2011 from five major maize-producing regions in Ethiopia, we specified a stochastic frontier model to estimate TE and employ propensity score-matching technique to address self-selection bias. The result confirm that imposing a homogenous technology assumption for improved and local maize varieties biases efficiency estimates and the ranking of farmers based on their efficiency scores. The mean TE of 66.18%, estimated after correcting for technology difference and self-selection bias, indicated that an increase of around 33.82% in maize productivity could be achievable with the current input levels and technology.

Solving delay differential equations through RBF collocation
Creators: name: Bernal, Francisco
name: Gutiérrez, Gail
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A general and easy-to-code numerical method based on radial basis functions (RBFs) collocation is proposed for the solution of delay differential equations (DDEs). It relies on the interpolation properties of infinitely smooth RBFs, which allow for a large accuracy over a scattered and relatively small discretization support. Hardy's multiquadric is chosen as RBF and combined with the Residual Subsampling Algorithm of Driscoll and Heryudono for support adaptivity. The performance of the method is very satisfactory, as demonstrated over a cross-section of benchmark DDEs, and by comparison with existing general-purpose and specialized numerical schemes for DDEs.

Origin of layer dependence in band structures of two-dimensional materials

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the origin of layer dependence in band structures of two-dimensional materials. We find that the layer dependence, at the density functional theory (DFT) level, is a result of quantum confinement and the non-linearity of the exchange-correlation functional. We use this to develop an efficient scheme for performing DFT and GW calculations of multilayer systems. We show that the DFT and quasiparticle band structures of a multilayer system can be derived from a single calculation on a monolayer of the material. We test this scheme on multilayers of MoS$_2$, graphene and phosphorene. This new scheme yields results in excellent agreement with the standard methods at a fraction of the computation cost. This helps overcome the challenge of performing fully converged GW calculations on multilayers of 2D materials, particularly in the case of transition metal dichalcogenides which involve very stringent convergence parameters.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Hydro-diversity: A Waterscape Model of the Medieval Western Indian City
Creators: name: Keller, Sara
Publisher: name: International Quarterly for Asian Studies
Year: 2024

description: In monsoon-dependent South Asia, harvesting and managing water is a necessity. Thus, monuments and modified landscapes related to irrigation, water storing and water worship represent a large share of Indian architectural heritage. Yet, this rich corpus and its attached hydrological knowledge awaits full recognition: thus far, documentation and studies focus on the most visible elements, especially stepwells, tanks and other dug facilities. Hydro-structures are generally considered in an isolated manner and lack contextualisation. Following the observations of English chaplain Edward Terry (1590–1660), this paper aims to explore the relationship between the medieval Indian city and the presence of monumental, often religiously connoted, hydraulic constructions. Based on archaeological and historical data, the paper proposes a fresh look at the hydraulic elements in the larger context of the city. The main argument rehabilitates the artificial lake and underlines its crucial function in plain regions that depend on a sufficient refilling of aquifers. In Western India, the typical city of the Solanki and later the Vaghela and the Muzaffarid dynasties had access to a broad variety of water sources capable of meeting the needs of multiple religious and secular activities (hydro-diversity). This generous waterscape and its multifaceted developments reflect on functions of sociability and religiosity in the city. Water here appears as an essential identity marker of urbanity.

Lattice approach to finite volume form-factors of the Massive Thirring/Sine-Gordon model
Creators: name: Hegedus, Arpad
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we demonstrate, that the light-cone lattice approach for the Massive-Thirring (sine-Gordon) model, through the quantum inverse scattering method, admits an appropriate framework for computing the finite volume form-factors of local operators of the model. In this work we compute the finite volume diagonal matrix elements of the $U(1)$ conserved current in the pure soliton sector of the theory. Based on the systematic large volume expansion of our results, we conjecture an exact expression for the finite volume expectation values of local operators in pure soliton states. At large volume in leading order these expectation values have the same form as in purely elastic scattering theories, but exponentially small corrections differ from previous Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz conjectures of purely elastic scattering theories.

The RBM parameters are tuned by using the standard machine learning procedure with an additional method of Configuration with Probability (CwP). The quality of resultant RBM are evaluated through the susceptibility with respect to the magnetic external field. We compare the results with those by Block Decimation Renormalization Group (BDRG) method, and our RBM clear the test with satisfactory precision.

description: This study examines how food prices and related seasonality factors affect the dietary choices of low-income farm households in rural Tanzania. The Kishapu and Mvomero districts were selected based on contrasting rainfall patterns, farming practices and economic activities. Data were collected before and after harvest in 2014, using household surveys, focus group discussions, key informant interviews and monthly market-price surveys. A linear-programming solution provides a choice-diet bundle of food items, given model constraints. The cost of the choice diet was compared with household incomes to determine diet affordability. Cheaper, more energy-dense foods lacking other nutrients were consumed at lower budgets in both seasons. Policies and strategies to address problems of the high cost of nutritious foods should be considered to enable low-income households to consume affordable but nutritious diets. Moreover, strategies and interventions that can influence behaviour and promote awareness are important for better household nutrition through a suitably balanced diet of available foods.

The dependence of the leading order (LO) and NLO EW corrected cross sections on the photon transverse momentum cut are investigated. We also provide the LO and NLO EW corrected distributions of the transverse momentum of final top quark and photon and the invariant mass of top quark pair and top-antitop-photon system. The results show that the NLO EW corrections are significant in high energy regions due to the EW Sudakov effect.

description: Using the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism, we propose a microscopic theory for near-field heat transfer between charged metal plates focusing on the Coulomb interactions. Tight-binding models for the electrons are coupled to the electromagnetic field continuum through a scalar potential. Our approach differs from the established ones based on Rytov fluctuational electrodynamics, which deals with the transverse radiative field and vector potential. For a two quantum-dot model a new length scale emerges below which the heat current exhibits great enhancement. This length scale is related to the physics of parallel plate capacitors. At long distances $d$, the energy flux decreases as $1/d^2$.

description: Anthropogenic landscape features such as urban parks and gardens, landfills and farmlands can provide novel, seasonally reliable food sources that impact wildlife ecology and distributions. In historically migratory species, food subsidies can cause individuals to forgo migration and form partially migratory or entirely sedentary populations, eroding a crucial benefit of migration: pathogen avoidance through seasonal abandonment of transmission sites and mortality of infected individuals during migration. Since many migratory taxa are declining, and wildlife populations in urban areas can harbour zoonotic pathogens, understanding the mechanisms by which anthropogenic resource subsidies influence infection dynamics and the persistence of migration is important for wildlife conservation and public health. We developed a mathematical model for a partially migratory population and a vector-borne pathogen transmitted at a shared breeding ground, where food subsidies increase the nonbreeding survival of residents. We found that higher resident nonbreeding survival increased infection prevalence in residents and migrants, and lowered the fraction of the population that migrated. The persistence of migration may be especially threatened if residency permits emergence of more virulent pathogens, if resource subsidies reduce costs of infection for residents, and if infection reduces individual migratory propensity.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Anthropogenic resource subsidies and host–parasite dynamics in wildlife’.
Discriminative Nonlinear Analysis Operator Learning: When Cosparse Model Meets Image Classification

description: Linear synthesis model based dictionary learning framework has achieved remarkable performances in image classification in the last decade. Behaved as a generative feature model, it however suffers from some intrinsic deficiencies. In this paper, we propose a novel parametric nonlinear analysis cosparse model (NACM) with which a unique feature vector will be much more efficiently extracted. Additionally, we derive a deep insight to demonstrate that NACM is capable of simultaneously learning the task adapted feature transformation and regularization to encode our preferences, domain prior knowledge and task oriented supervised information into the features. The proposed NACM is devoted to the classification task as a discriminative feature model and yield a novel discriminative nonlinear analysis operator learning framework (DNAOL). The theoretical analysis and experimental performances clearly demonstrate that DNAOL will not only achieve the better or at least competitive classification accuracies than the state-of-the-art algorithms but it can also dramatically reduce the time complexities in both training and testing phases.

Dark Matter Candidates in a Visible Heavy QCD Axion Model

description: In this paper, we discuss dark matter candidates in a visible heavy QCD axion model. There, a mirror copied sector of the Standard Model with mass scales larger than the Standard Model is introduced. By larger mass scales of the mirrored sector, the QCD axion is made heavy via the axial anomaly in the mirrored sector without spoiling the Peccei-Quinn mechanism to solve the strong $CP$-problem. Since the mirror copied sector possesses the same symmetry structure with the Standard Model sector, the model predicts multiple stable particles. As we will show, the mirrored charged pion and the mirrored electron can be viable candidates for dark matter. They serve as self-interacting dark matter with a long range force. We also show that the mirrored neutron can be lighter than the mirrored proton in a certain parameter region. There, the mirrored neutron can also be a viable dark matter candidate when its mass is around $100$ TeV. It is also shown that the mirrored neutrino can also be a viable candidate for dark matter.

Stellar dynamo models with prominent surface toroidal fields

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent spectro-polarimetric observations of solar-type stars have shown the presence of photospheric magnetic fields with a predominant toroidal component. If the external field is assumed to be current-free it is impossible to explain these observations within the framework of standard mean-field dynamo theory. In this work it will be shown that if the coronal field of these stars is assumed to be harmonic, the underlying stellar dynamo mechanism can support photospheric magnetic fields with a prominent toroidal component even in the presence of axisymmetric magnetic topologies. In particular it is argued that the observed increase in the toroidal energy in low mass fast rotating stars can be naturally explained with an underlying $αΩ$ mechanism.

description: Decades after the beginning of its FU Orionis-type outburst, V346 Nor unexpectedly underwent a fading event of $ΔK$ = 4.6 mag around 2010. We obtained near-infrared observations and re-analysed data from the VISTA/VVV survey to outline the brightness evolution. In our VLT/NaCO images, we discovered a halo of scattered light around V346~Nor with a size of about 0.04 arcsec (30 au). The VISTA data outlined a well-defined minimum in the light curve at late 2010/early 2011, and tentatively revealed a small-amplitude periodic modulation of 58 days. Our latest data points from 2016 demonstrate that the source is still brightening but has not reached the 2008 level yet. We used a simple accretion disk model with varying accretion rate and line-of-sight extinction to reproduce the observed near-infrared magnitudes and colors. We found that before 2008, the flux changes of V346 Nor were caused by a correlated change of extinction and accretion rate, while the minimum around 2010 was mostly due to decreasing accretion. The source reached a maximal accretion rate of ${\approx}10^{-4} M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ in 1992. A combination of accretion and extinction changes was already invoked in the literature to interpret the flux variations of certain embedded young eruptive stars.

description: We provide general arguments regarding the connection between low-energy theories (gravity and quantum field theory) and a hypothetical fundamental theory of quantum gravity, under the assumptions of (i) validity of the holographic bound and (ii) preservation of unitary evolution at the level of the fundamental theory. In particular, the appeal to the holographic bound imposed on generic physical systems by the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy implies that both classical geometry and quantum fields propagating on it should be regarded as phenomena emergent from the dynamics of the fundamental theory. The reshuffling of the fundamental degrees of freedom during the unitary evolution then leads to an entanglement between geometry and quantum fields. The consequences of such scenario are considered in the context of black hole evaporation and the related information-loss issue: we provide a simplistic toy model in which an average loss of information is obtained as a consequence of the geometry-field entanglement.

Although intraperitoneal (IP) administration of chemotherapy drugs is routinely used to treat cancerous ascites, conventional drugs have poor retention and therefore need to be administered frequently to maintain a sustained anti-tumor effect. In this study, a thermosensitive hydrogel composite loaded with norethindrone nanoparticles (NPs) and oxaliplatin (N/O/Hydrogel) was developed to inhibit ascites of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through IP injection. N/O/Hydrogel induced apoptosis in the H22 cells in vitro, and significantly inhibited ascites formation, tumor cell proliferation and micro-angiogenesis in a mouse model of advanced HCC with ascites, and prolonged the survival of tumor-bearing mice. Histological examination of the major organs indicated that the hydrogel system is safe. Taken together, the N/O/Hydrogel system is a promising platform for in-situ chemotherapy of malignant ascites.

description: The roles of applied strain and temperature on the hydration dynamics of cement paste are uncovered in the present study. We find that the system hardens over time through two different aging processes. The first process dominates the initial period of hydration and is characterized by the shear stress $σ$ varying sub-linearly with the strain-rate $\dotγ$; during this process the system is in a relatively low-density state and the inter-particle interactions are dominated by hydrodynamic lubrication. At a later stage of hydration the system evolves to a high-density state where the interactions become frictional, and $σ$ varies super-linearly with $\dotγ$; this is identified as the second process. An instability, indicated by a drop in $σ$, that is non-monotonic with $\dotγ$ and can be tuned by temperature, separates the two processes. Both from rheology and microscopy studies we establish that the observed instability is related to fracture mechanics of space-filling structure.

description: The basic principles of self-organization of one-component charged particles, confined in disk and circular parabolic potentials, are proposed. A system of equations is derived, that allows us to determine equilibrium configurations for an arbitrary, but finite, number of charged particles that are distributed over several rings. Our approach reduces significantly the computational effort in minimizing the energy of equilibrium configurations and demonstrates a remarkable agreement with the values provided by molecular dynamics calculations. With the increase of particle number n>180 we find a steady formation of a centered hexagonal lattice that smoothly transforms to valence circular rings in the ground state configurations for both potentials.

description: It is proved that the members of the Riccati hierarchy, the so-called Riccati chain equations, can be considered as particular cases of projective Riccati equations, which greatly simplifies the study of the Riccati hierarchy. This also allows us to characterize Riccati chain equations geometrically in terms of the projective vector fields of a flat Riemannian metric and to easily derive their associated superposition rules. Next, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which it is possible to map second-order Riccati chain equations into conformal Riccati equations through a local diffeomorphism. This fact can be used to determine superposition rules for particular higher-order Riccati chain equations which depend on fewer particular solutions than in the general case. Therefore, we analyze the properties of Euclidean, hyperbolic and projective vector fields on the plane in detail. Finally, the use of contact transformations enables us to apply the derived results to the study of certain integrable partial differential equations, such as the Kaup-Kupershmidt and Sawada-Kotera equations.

description: Polymersomes possess the self-assembly vesicular structure similar to liposomes. Although a variety of comparisons between polymersomes and liposomes in the aspects of physical properties, preparation and applications have been elaborated in many studies, few focus on their differences in drug encapsulation, delivery and release in vitro and in vivo. In the present work, we have provided a modified direct hydration method to encapsulate anti-cancer drug paclitaxel (PTX) into PEG-b-PCL constituted polymersomes (PTX@PS). In addition to advantages including narrow particle size distribution, high colloid stability and moderate drug-loading efficiency, we find that the loaded drug aggregate in small clusters and reside through the polymersome membrane, representing a unique core-satellite structure which might facilitate the sustained drug release. Compared with commercial liposomal PTX formulation (Lipusu®), PTX@PS exhibited superb tumor cell killing ability underlain by multiple pro-apoptotic mechanisms. Moreover, endocytic process of PTX@PS significantly inhibits drug transporter P-gp expression which could be largely activated by free drug diffusion. In glioma mice models, it has also confirmed that PTX@PS remarkably eradicate tumors, which renders polymersomes as a promising alternative to liposomes as drug carriers in clinic.

description: We demonstrate rectification ratios ($RR$) of $\gtrsim$1000 at biases of 1.3~V in bilayers of \buck deposited on copper. Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy and first-principles calculations, we show that the strong coupling between \buck and the Cu(111) surface leads to the metallization of the bottom \buck layer, while the molecular orbitals of the top \buck are essentially unaffected. Due to this substrate-induced symmetry breaking and to a tunneling transport mechanism, the system behaves as a hole-blocking layer, with a spatial dependence of the onset voltage on intra-layer coordination. Together with previous observations of strong electron-blocking character of pentacene/\buck bilayers on Cu(111), this work further demonstrates the potential of strongly-hybridized, \buck-coated electrodes to harness the electrical functionality of molecular components.

description: Transdermal fentanyl patches are an effective alternative to the sustained release of oral morphine for chronic pain management. Due to the narrow therapeutic range of fentanyl, the concentration of fentanyl in the blood needs to be carefully monitored. Only then can effective pain relief be achieved while avoiding adverse effects such as respiratory depression. This study developed a physics-based digital twin of a patient by implementing drug uptake, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics models. The twin was employed to predict the in-silico effect of conventional fentanyl transdermal in a 20–80-year-old virtual patient. The results show that, with increasing age, the maximum transdermal fentanyl flux and maximum concentration of fentanyl in the blood decreased by 11.4% and 7.0%, respectively. However, the results also show that as the patient's age increases, the pain relief increases by 45.2%. Furthermore, the digital twin was used to propose a tailored therapy based on the patient's age. This predesigned therapy customized the duration of applying the commercialized fentanyl patches. According to this therapy, a 20-year-old patient needs to change the patch 2.1 times more frequently than conventional therapy, which leads to 30% more pain relief and 315% more time without pain. In addition, the digital twin was updated by the patient's pain intensity feedback. Such therapy increased the patient's breathing rate while providing effective pain relief, so a safer treatment. We quantified the added value of a patient's physics-based digital twin and sketched the future roadmap for implementing such twin-assisted treatment into the clinics.

description: One of the most common complications of cancer chemotherapy is oral mucositis (OM), a serious kind of oral ulceration, but its effective treatment remains a serious challenge. In this study, we used deoxycholic acid and fucoidan to prepare inflammation-targeting nanomicelles (FD), because fucoidan can target inflammation due to its high binding affinity for P-selectin. The hydrophobic anti-inflammatory drug cannabidiol (CBD) was then loaded into the hydrophobic core of FD. The resulting CBD-loaded FD micelles (CBD/FD) had uniform particle size and morphology, as well as favorable serum stability. Moreover, administration of the FD micelles via intravenous injection or in situ dripping in an OM mouse model enhanced the accumulation and retention of CBD. CBD/FD also showed a better anti-inflammatory effect compared to free CBD after local or systemic administration in vivo, while they accelerated OM healing and inhibited Ly6G inflammatory cell infiltration and NF-κB nuclear transcription. Our results show that CBD/FD nanomicelles are a promising agent for OM treatment.

description: A 16-year-old female presented to an outpatient clinic with a 13-year history of recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, vomiting and mild cutaneous swelling, either spontaneously or following minor trauma. The episodes occurred every 1–2 months. There was no family history of a similar complaint or hereditary angio-oedema (HAE). At the age of 16, evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of HAE type II, characterised by low C4 levels and reduced C1 esterase inhibitor function. The patient was prescribed tranexamic acid 1 g twice daily as well as C1 esterase inhibitor used as rescue medication during symptomatic episodes. This case report emphasises the importance of considering a diagnosis of HAE in patients with recurrent, unexplained abdominal pain, even in the absence of a positive family history of HAE.
