description: The recent emergence of a new coronavirus, COVID-19, has gained extensive coverage in public media and global news. As of 24 March 2020, the virus has caused viral pneumonia in tens of thousands of people in Wuhan, China, and thousands of cases in 184 other countries and territories. This study explores the potential use of Google Trends (GT) to monitor worldwide interest in this COVID-19 epidemic. GT was chosen as a source of reverse engineering data, given the interest in the topic. Current data on COVID-19 is retrieved from (GT) using one main search topic: Coronavirus. Geographical settings for GT are worldwide, China, South Korea, Italy and Iran. The reported period is 15 January 2020 to 24 March 2020. The results show that the highest worldwide peak in the first wave of demand for information was on 31 January 2020. After the first peak, the number of new cases reported daily rose for 6 days. A second wave started on 21 February 2020 after the outbreaks were reported in Italy, with the highest peak on 16 March 2020. The second wave is six times as big as the first wave. The number of new cases reported daily is rising day by day. This short communication gives a brief introduction to how the demand for information on coronavirus epidemic is reported through GT.

description: Hunger has become ever more complex, and therefore efforts to sustainably eradicate hunger and malnutrition depend on policies and programs that match these complexities. Innovations are critical for progress. However, they require increased public and private investments as well. Key elements of inclusive policies and partnerships are agricultural development in the hunger-affected rural areas and communities to improve productivity will remain a Major part of solutions. Farmers’ own innovation capacities need strengthening. Investment in Food and agricultural research and development (R&D) is an important tool for broad-based innovation, for instance, related to improved seeds. Digital technology is a game changer for food and nutrition security. Innovations for improved market functioning and avoidance of price shocks require information and early warning systems, as well as better preparedness with improved trade and food reserves policies. The environmental and climate change aspects of agricultural and land and water use change need more attention for sustainable hunger reduction. More attention to innovative social protection and direct nutrition intervention programs is needed, including addressing the micronutrient deficiencies in rural and urban areas. Hunger in complex emergencies needs to bring together development policy with diplomacy and security policy. Innovation initiatives like any development Investments must follow principles of good governance, achieving investment at low transaction costs, sound financial practices, and avoidance of diversions of funds.
Magnetic field induced band depopulation in intrinsic InSb: A revisit

description: The effect of Landau level formation on the population of intrinsic electrons in InSb is probed near room temperature in magnetic fields upto 16 Tesla. Although the measured magnetic field dependence of the Hall coefficient is qualitatively similar to published results, it is shown that the data may also be explained by simply including ambipolar conduction. Thus the inference on band depopulation drawn from previous measurements on InSb is inconclusive unless both the Hall and the magnetoresistive components of the resistivity tensor are simultaneously measured and modelled. When the model includes both depopulation and ambipolar conduction, a reasonable agreement with theory can be established.

description: Within the framework of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics and scattering theory, we derive the general expressions for the variance of radiative heat transfer between two arbitrarily shaped objects placed in an arbitrary environment in terms of their T-operators. The such derived expression is valid in the far- and near-field regime of thermal radiation as well as for reciprocal and non-reciprocal objects of any size within a reciprocal or non-reciprocal environment as long as the distances between the objects and their sizes are covered by the macroscopic approach. As special cases we discuss the variance of the radiative heat flux between two nanoparticles and between a nanoparticle and a substrate in near- and far-field regime.

description: This paper explores the effectiveness of incentive policies in attracting foreign investment in China's recently opened "free" economic zones. A transaction costminimization conceptual framework is used to specify an empirical model. Crosssection data from 132 regions are used for testing the hypothesis that transaction cost-reducing policies are more effective in attracting investment than other tax incentive and promotional policies. The hypothesis is validated.

description: This dissertation explores the relationship between civilian and military preferences in the United States. A standard measure of the health of the civil-military relationship is whether civilian preferences prevail over military preferences in times of disagreement. Generally, the civil-military relations literature focuses on civilian efforts to impose their preferences on the military. But is it possible that the military is able to impose its preferences on civilians as well? This study asks and answers the questions: Does the military shape civilian preferences, and to what extent? If the military does shape civilian preferences, under what conditions does it do so? I contend that both purposeful actions by the military and factors natural to the civil-military relationship, each centered on the distribution of information resources, shape civilian preferences. I hypothesize that the less information civilians possess relative to the military, the more civilian preferences are based on military preferences. In three cases of emerging military capabilities, I find support for this hypothesis. Using comparative historical methods and process tracing, I examine the congruence of civilian and military preferences across time and find that military actors frequently framed and constrained civilian thinking about, and in some contexts dictated the purposes of, special operations forces, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cyber capabilities.

description: The Tera Electronvolt Superconducting Linear Accelerator TESLA is the only linear electron-positron collider project based on superconductor technology for particle acceleration. In the first stage with 500 GeV center-of-mass energy an accelerating field of 23.4 MV/m is needed in the superconducting niobium cavities which are operated at a temperature of 2 K and a quality factor Q0 of 10 to the 10. This performance has been reliably achieved in the cavities of the TESLA Test Facility (TTF) accelerator. The upgrade of TESLA to 800 GeV requires accelerating gradients of 35 MV/m. Using an improved cavity treatment by electrolytic polishing it has been possible to raise the gradient to 35 - 43 MV/m in single cell resonators. Here we report on the successful transfer of the electropolishing technique to multi-cell cavities. Presently four nine-cell cavities have achieved 35 MV/m, and a fifth cavity could be excited to 39 MV/m. In two high-power tests it could be verified that EP-cavities preserve their excellent performance after welding into the helium cryostat and assembly of the high-power coupler. One cavity has been operated for 1100 hours at the TESLA-800 gradient of 35 MV/m and 57 hours at 36 MV/m without loss in performance.

description: We theoretically study a system composed by a waveguide and a moving quantum emitter in the single excitation subspace, treating the emitter motional degree of freedom quantum mechanically. We first characterize single-photon scattering off a single moving quantum emitter, showing both nonreciprocal transmission and recoil-induced reduction of the quantum emitter motional energy. We then characterize the bound states within the bandgap, which display a motion-induced asymmetric phase in real space. We also demonstrate how these bound states form a continuous band with exotic dispersion relations. Finally, we study the spontaneous emission of an initially excited quantum emitter with various initial momentum distributions, finding strong deviations with respect to the static emitter counterpart both in the occupation dynamics and in the spatial distribution of the emitted photons. Our work extends the waveguide-QED toolbox by including the quantum motional degree of freedom of emitters, whose impact in the few-photon dynamics could be harnessed for quantum technologies.

description: Standard methods and theories in finance can be ill-equipped to capture highly non-linear interactions in financial prediction problems based on large-scale datasets, with deep learning offering a way to gain insights into correlations in markets as complex systems. In this paper, we apply deep learning to econometrically constructed gradients to learn and exploit lagged correlations among S&P 500 stocks to compare model behaviour in stable and volatile market environments, and under the exclusion of target stock information for predictions. In order to measure the effect of time horizons, we predict intraday and daily stock price movements in varying interval lengths and gauge the complexity of the problem at hand with a modification of our model architecture. Our findings show that accuracies, while remaining significant and demonstrating the exploitability of lagged correlations in stock markets, decrease with shorter prediction horizons. We discuss implications for modern finance theory and our work's applicability as an investigative tool for portfolio managers. Lastly, we show that our model's performance is consistent in volatile markets by exposing it to the environment of the recent financial crisis of 2007/2008.

description: Provincial crop production, acreage and price data for 1979-88 are used to estimate China's provincial wheat production functions. Peasants in China still have very limited power in allocating land in response to prices. Within this constraint, crop prices do provide mechanism to allocate variable inputs,.thus, affect yield and production. The paper estimates the impacts on provincial wheat production of trade liberalization.

description: The bottom quark forward-backward asymmetry $A_{\rm{FB}}$ is a key observable in electron-positron collisions at the $Z^{0}$ peak. In this paper, we employ the Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) to fix the $α_s$-running behavior of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to $A_{\rm{FB}}$. The resulting PMC scale for this $A_{\rm{FB}}$ is an order of magnitude smaller than the conventional choice $μ_r=M_Z$. This scale has the physically reasonable behavior and reflects the virtuality of its QCD dynamics, which is independent to the choice of renormalization scale. Our analyses show that the effective momentum flow for the bottom quark forward-backward asymmetry should be $μ_r\ll M_Z$ other than the conventionally suggested $μ_r=M_Z$. Moreover, the convergence of perturbative QCD series for $A_{\rm{FB}}$ is greatly improved using the PMC. Our prediction for the bare bottom quark forward-backward asymmetry is refined to be $A^{0,b}_{\rm FB}=0.1004\pm0.0016$, which diminishes the well known tension between the experimental determination for this (pseudo) observable and the respective Standard Model fit to $2.1σ$.

Life cycle assessment : level 3 building elements of the Douglas Kenny Building
Creators: name: Carnes, Kendrick
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Life Cycle Assessment is the only tool in which decisions regarding environmental impacts can be made. LCA uses sufficient scientific data to provide impact results to air, land, and water while analysing products and product systems. This project breaks down a previous LCA on The University of British Columbia’s Douglas Kenny Building. The previous LCA looked at the cradle to gate which is similar to this study. The previous model was reviewed and all assumptions were evaluated. The previous model was then broken up into CIQS level 3 building elements. These building elements make up the complete building. The level 3 building elements is the format that professional surveyors who give cost estimates to clients use. By categorizing building materials into level 3 elements LCA can be brought in to the design stage of buildings. By having LCA in the design stage a client can make decisions based on LCA results and costs. The previous LCA study used a LCA tool called the Athena Impact Estimator which is a computer program designed for building LCA. The previous model was reorganized in AIE into level 3 elements and then basic materials and impact results were calculated. The use of a functional unit allowed for the normalization so that comparison between elements and eventually buildings can be compared. The impact results for the Douglas Kenny Building are fairly high since the majority of the building is made of cement. It was found that the main impacts from the cement manufacturing were due to the product manufacturing stage. When compared to a benchmark from 16 other LCA studies that were completed during the same time, the Douglas Kenny building exhibited higher performance. The benchmark for every impact category was higher than the impacts obtained from the Douglas Kenny Building. The method, data, model, goal and scope are subjected to various degrees of uncertainties.

Geometrical picture of dynamical facilitation

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Kinetically constrained models (KCMs) are models of glass formers based on the concept of dynamic facilitation. This concept accounts for many of the characteristics of the glass transition. KCMs usually display a combination of simple thermodynamics and complex glassy dynamics, the latter being a consequence of kinetic constraints. Here we show that KCMs can be regarded as systems whose configuration space is endowed with a simple energy surface but a complicated geometry. This geometry is determined solely by the kinetic constraints, and determines the dynamics of the system. It does not affect the overall distribution of states. Low temperature dynamical slow-down is then a consequence of the competition between the paths allowed by the geometry of configuration space, and those leading to energy relaxation. This competition gives rise to dynamical bottlenecks unrelated to static properties. This view of the dynamics is distinct from that based on an underlying static rugged energy landscape. We illustrate our ideas with simple examples.

Investigating Japanese "Heritage for Diplomacy": An Analysis of Local Narratives at Controversial UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Japan
Creators: name: McNaught, Shannon
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is a response to the dearth of research on the impact of subnational factors in heritage diplomacy by comparing local and national narratives at controversial UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Japan. In addition to expanding on existing literature, the stated research goals include developing a new theoretical framework through which to better understand and analyze the role of domestic actors and actions in heritage diplomacy practice. The research was conducted on-site in Japan and utilizes a qualitative methodology rooted in content and narrative analysis. Of the many conclusions drawn, the most significant finding stresses the importance of consistent heritage messaging at the national and subnational level as a key factor in establishing and maintaining credibility for heritage diplomacy strategies conducted on the international stage.

description: We estimate the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson h in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with universal soft supersymmetry-breaking masses (CMSSM), subject to the available accelerator and astrophysical constraints. For m_t = 174.3 GeV, we find that 114 GeV < m_h < 127 GeV and a peak in the tan beta distribution simeq 55. We observe two distinct peaks in the distribution of m_h values, corresponding to two different regions of the CMSSM parameter space. Values of m_h < 119 GeV correspond to small values of the gaugino mass m_{1/2} and the soft trilinear supersymmetry-breaking parameter A_0, lying along coannihilation strips, and most of the allowed parameter sets are consistent with a supersymmetric interpretation of the possibly discrepancy in g_mu - 2. On the other hand, values of m_h > 119 GeV may correspond to much larger values of m_{1/2} and A_0, lying in rapid-annihilation funnels. The favoured ranges of m_h vary with m_t, the two peaks being more clearly separated for m_t = 178 GeV and merging for m_t = 172.7 GeV. If the g_mu - 2 constraint is imposed, the mode of the m_h distribution is quite stable, being sim 117 GeV for all the studied values of m_t.

Notes. – A specimen of original material collected by Thunberg has been located in the Japan herbarium in G-PREL. Thunberg annotated it as “ Polygala vulgaris? Lin.” and Houttuyn as “ Polygala vulgaris Linn. vel potius Japonica, mihi. Nat. Hist. X. Stuk p. 89, Pl. 62. Fig. 1 ” with a later addendum“Thunb. Jap. p. 277”. The specimen is a very good match for the plate and is designated here as the lectotype. A corresponding specimen seems to be absent from UPS- THUNB. Another Thunberg specimen is in the Burman herbarium in G-PREL [G00818071] and should be considered as a duplicate. There are Chinese and Japanese vernacular names at the bottom of the latter sheet which were not mentioned by Houttuyn and do not seem to be in his writing.

description: Negative magnetoresistance is one of the manifestations of the chiral anomaly in Weyl semimetals. The magneto-optical conductivity also shows transitions between Landau levels that are not spaced as in an ordinary electron gas. How are such topological properties modified by interactions and temperature? We answer this question by studying a lattice model of Weyl semimetals with an on-site Hubbard interaction. Such an interacting Weyl semimetal, dubbed as Weyl liquid, may be realized in Mn$_3$Sn. We solve that model with single-site dynamical mean-field theory. We find that in a Weyl liquid, quasiparticles can be characterized by a quasiparticle spectral weight $Z$, although their lifetime increases much more rapidly as frequency approaches zero than in an ordinary Fermi liquid. The negative magnetoresistance still exists, even though the slope of the linear dependence of the DC conductivity with respect to the magnetic filed is decreased by the interaction. At elevated temperatures, a Weyl liquid crossesover to bad metallic behavior where the Drude peak becomes flat and featureless.

Notes. – A single element representing original material is in the Japan herbarium in G-PREL. It is a very good match for the plate and is designated here as the lectotype of Polypodium japonicum. Houttuyn annotated the specimen as “ Polypodium japonicum Thunb. vel falcatum Fl. Japon. p. 336, tab. 36”, so he apparently compared his plant with a manuscript of Thunberg’s work that was published in 1784, after the publication in the Natuurlijke Historie had been completed. He did not cite LINNAEUS f. (1782) where P. falcatum Thunb. ex L. f. was published, based on the same duplicates in the Thunberg herbarium. Two collections of original material are present in UPS-THUNB. The lectotype of P. falcatum designated here is the most complete sheet (UPS-THUNB n° 24493).

description: This thesis is a response to the dearth of research on the impact of subnational factors in heritage diplomacy by comparing local and national narratives at controversial UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Japan. In addition to expanding on existing literature, the stated research goals include developing a new theoretical framework through which to better understand and analyze the role of domestic actors and actions in heritage diplomacy practice. The research was conducted on-site in Japan and utilizes a qualitative methodology rooted in content and narrative analysis. Of the many conclusions drawn, the most significant finding stresses the importance of consistent heritage messaging at the national and subnational level as a key factor in establishing and maintaining credibility for heritage diplomacy strategies conducted on the international stage.

Comparison of Microcanonical and Canonical Hadronization

description: Average multiplicities and transverse momenta of hadrons are calculated using a microcanonical hadronization description for a cluster of given total energy and volume. As a function of the total energy, we determine the critical volume above which the microcanonical description coincides with the canonical one, and compare the results with those obtained using one of standard canonical models. We show that the critical volume depends on the energy and the mass of the hadrons. For heavy particles, volumes above $50 fm^{3}$ are needed, even more than$100 fm^{3}$ if one considers transverse momenta. Thus the prediction of heavy hadron multiplicities in pp, Kp, and $e^{+}e^{-}$ reactions requires a microcanonical approach, whereas for heavy ion reactions a canonical calculation is valid. We conclude by showing the importance of the feeding for the observed hadron multiplicities.

description: High-harmonic generation - the emission of high-frequency radiation by the ionization and subsequent recombination of an atomic electron driven by a strong laser field - is widely understood using a quasiclassical trajectory formalism, derived from a saddle-point approximation, where each saddle corresponds to a complex-valued trajectory whose recombination contributes to the harmonic emission. However, the classification of these saddle-points into individual quantum orbits remains a high-friction part of the formalism. Here we present a scheme to classify these trajectories, based on a natural identification of the (complex) time that corresponds to the harmonic cutoff. This identification also provides a natural complex value for the cutoff energy, whose imaginary part controls the strength of quantum-path interference between the quantum orbits that meet at the cutoff. Our construction gives an efficient method to evaluate the location and brightness of the cutoff for a wide class of driver waveforms by solving a single saddle-point equation. It also allows us to explore the intricate topologies of the Riemann surfaces formed by the quantum orbits induced by nontrivial waveforms.
