description: Strong coupling between two quanta of different excitations leads to the formation of a hybridized state which paves a way for exploiting new degrees of freedom to control phenomena with high efficiency and precision. A magnon polaron is the hybridized state of a phonon and a magnon, the elementary quanta of lattice vibrations and spin waves in a magnetically-ordered material. A magnon polaron can be formed at the intersection of the magnon and phonon dispersions, where their frequencies coincide. The observation of magnon polarons in the time domain has remained extremely challenging because the weak interaction of magnons and phonons and their short lifetimes jeopardize the strong coupling required for the formation of a hybridized state. Here, we overcome these limitations by spatial matching of magnons and phonons in a metallic ferromagnet with a nanoscale periodic surface pattern. The spatial overlap of the selected phonon and magnon modes formed in the periodic ferromagnetic structure results in a high coupling strength which, in combination with their long lifetimes allows us to find clear evidence of an optically excited magnon polaron. We show that the symmetries of the localized magnon and phonon states play a crucial role in the magnon polaron formation and its manifestation in the optically excited magnetic transients.

Discovery and Implications of a New Large-Scale Stellar Bar in NGC 5248

description: For decades, the grand-design SAB spiral galaxy NGC 5248 has been postulated to host a short bar of semi-major axis 22" (1.6 kpc). From dynamical and morphological arguments, we argue, however, that its spiral structure is being driven by a large-scale bar whose corotation radius lies at around 115" (8.6 kpc).Our estimate is based partially on a deep R-band image which reveals that the feature previously thought to be an inclined disk is in fact an extended stellar bar. The bar is embedded within a fainter outer disk visible out to a radius of 230" (17.2 kpc). The bar has a deprojected ellipticity of 0.44 and a semi-major axis of 95" (7.1 kpc). The classical grand-design spirals of NGC 5248, prominent in B, R, and K light, lie on the leading edge of the large-scale stellar bar and are accompanied by concave dust lanes out to at least 70". The offset between the dust and young stars is consistent with our understanding of gas flows in barred galaxies, where shocks along the leading edges of a moderately strong bar compress the gas to form massive young stars. While in many strongly barred galaxies, optical spiral arms are prominent outside the bar but not within it, NGC 5248 illustrates how intense star formation along a moderately strong bar can lead to conspicuous open spiral arms within the bar itself. NGC 5248 also provides a clear example of how a large-scale stellar bar embedded within a faint outer optical disk can be misidentified as an inclined disk when imaging studies lack the sensitivity to detect the actual outer disk. We discuss the implications for the estimated bar fraction at higher redshifts.

description: The entanglement content of superpositions of pairs of degenerate eigenstates of a bipartite system are considered in the case that both are also eigenstates of the $z$ component of the total angular momentum. It is shown that the von Neumann entropy of the state that is obtained tracing out one of the parts of the system has a definite convexity (concavity) as a function of the superposition parameter and that its convexity (concavity) can be predicted using a quantity of information that measures the entropy shared by the states at the extremes of the superposition. Several examples of two particle system, whose eigenfunctions and density matrices can be obtained exactly, are analyzed thoroughly.

description: Network ecology is an emerging field that allows researchers to conceptualize and analyse ecological networks and their dynamics. Here, we focus on the dynamics of ecological networks in response to environmental changes. Specifically, we formalize how network topologies constrain the dynamics of ecological systems into a unifying framework in network ecology that we refer to as the ‘ecological network dynamics framework’. This framework stresses that the interplay between species interaction networks and the spatial layout of habitat patches is key to identifying which network properties (number and weights of nodes and links) and trade-offs among them are needed to maintain species interactions in dynamic landscapes. We conclude that to be functional, ecological networks should be scaled according to species dispersal abilities in response to landscape heterogeneity. Determining how such effective ecological networks change through space and time can help reveal their complex dynamics in a changing world.

description: The aim was to optimize ultrasonic extraction conditions and study antioxidant activities of lychee pericarp polysaccharides. The effects of extraction temperature, time, ultrasonic power, solid-liquid ratio on polysaccharides yield were investigated by single-factor experiment and orthogonal experiment to obtain optimum extraction conditions; the antioxidant activities of lychee pericarp polysaccharides were evaluated by the total antioxidant activity. Optimum extraction process was under extraction temperature of 80 ℃, extraction time of 2.5 hours, ultrasonic power of 180 W, solid-liquid ratio of 1: 25 g /mL; the total antioxidant activity was increased with the increasing concentration of polysaccharides. The extraction process is simple and efficient. The extraction rate of lychee pericarp polysaccharides with antioxidant activities is high.

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.

description: We study the limit of D-series minimal models when the central charge tends to a generic irrational value $c\in (-\infty, 1)$. We find that the limit theory's diagonal three-point structure constant differs from that of Liouville theory by a distribution factor, which is given by a divergent Verlinde formula. Nevertheless, correlation functions that involve both non-diagonal and diagonal fields are smooth functions of the diagonal fields' conformal dimensions. The limit theory is a non-trivial example of a non-diagonal, non-rational, solved two-dimensional conformal field theory.

description: We prove, by means of a unified treatment, that the superradiant phase transitions of Dicke and classical oscillator limits of simple light-matter models are indeed of the same type. We show that the mean-field approximation is exact in both cases, and compute the structure and location of the transitions in parameter space. We extend this study to a fuller range of models, paying special attention to symmetry considerations. We uncover general features of the phase structure in the space of parameters of these models.

description: A new series of chiral liquid crystal, Mt4AZOnAB (n = 2–18), containing a multi-chiral centre menthyl and an azobenzene moiety connected with a flexible butanedioyloxy and a varying length of alkanoyloxy in a terminal chain were designed and synthesised. The thermal properties and optical textures were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarising optical microscopy. Selective reflection of the CLCs was measured by ultraviolet/visible spectrometer. Their photo-switching properties were well-demonstrated by UV irradiation. All CLCs show characteristic of selective reflection in heating stage and BPI/II texture in cooling course. Before and after irradiation, CLCs undergoes a transition from oily streak texture to focal conic texture; however, BPI/II texture in cooling stage shows a reversible phase transition.

description: Traditional African vegetables have recently received considerable attention for their contribution to food and nutrition security and opportunities for enhancing smallholder livelihoods. Promoting the production and consumption of traditional vegetables is expected to enhance household nutrition among urban and rural households. The Good Seed Initiative (GSI) program promoted production and consumption of nutrient-dense traditional African vegetables in Arusha region in Tanzania to reduce malnutrition through diet diversification. This study estimated the impact of the program on households, women of childbearing age, and children’s dietary diversity. The study used cross-sectional data from 258 program participants and 242 non-participants households and applied matching techniques to control for problems associated with unobserved heterogeneity, which could otherwise bias the outcome estimates. We compared our findings with the inverse probability of treatment weighting to correct for selection bias. We found that households participating in traditional vegetable promotion program had significantly higher dietary diversity of children under five and women in reproductive age. We found no significant impact of promotion program on households’ dietary diversity. The policy implication is that scaling up promotional activities to encourage consumers to grow and eat traditional vegetables would be an important element in initiatives to increase dietary diversity, particularly for children under five and women of childbearing age in Tanzania.

description: We develop dynamical non-Markovian description of quantum computing in weak coupling limit, in lowest order approximation. We show that long range memory of quantum reservoir produces strong interrelation between structure of noise and quantum algorithm, implying nonlocal attacks of noise. We then argue that the quantum error correction method fails to protect quantum computation against electromagnetic or phonon vacuum which exhibit $1/t^4$ memory. This shows that the implicit assumption of quantum error correction theory -- independence of noise and self-dynamics -- fails in long time regimes. We also use our approach to present {\it pure} decoherence and decoherence accompanied by dissipation in terms of spectral density of reservoir. The so-called {\it dynamical decoupling} method is discussed in this context. Finally, we propose {\it minimal decoherence model}, in which the only source of decoherence is vacuum. We optimize fidelity of quantum information processing under the trade-off between speed of gate and strength of decoherence.

description: Macroautophagy/autophagy, a stress-responsive cellular survival mechanism, plays important and context-dependent roles in cancer, and its inhibition has been implicated as a promising cancer therapeutic approach. The detailed mechanisms underlying the function of autophagy in cancer have not been fully understood. In this study, we show that autophagy inhibition promotes both the efficacy of chemotherapy for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) and therapy-induced senescence of GBM cells. As a specific cell fate characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest, senescence is also associated with the expression of a panel of specific secreted protein factors known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Intriguingly, we found that autophagy inhibition not only quantitatively enhanced GBM cell senescence but also qualitatively altered the spectrum of SASP. The altered SASP had increased potent activity to induce paracrine senescence of neighboring GBM cells, to skew macrophage polarization toward the anti-tumor M1 state, and to block the recruitment of pro-tumor neutrophils to GBM tumor tissues. Taken together, this study reveals novel functional communication between autophagy and senescence and suggests cancer therapeutic approaches harnessing autophagy blockage in inducing senescence-mediated antitumor immunity.

description: .tif files for printing onto transparencies to demonstrate phenomenon of moire fringes.
'GratingPattern.tif' represents a diffraction-limited striped pattern. 'CatPattern.tif' represents a pattern with sub-diffraction limit information contained within in (in the form of a picture of a tabby cat).
If these two patterns are printed on transparancies and overlaid, lower-frequency information is generated by the interference between the patterns. This is known as moire fringes. This lower-frequency information is a unique product of the original pattern (i.e. the cat image), the overlaid pattern (i.e. the stripey grating pattern) and the orientation/position at which the 'grating' is held. An example of this can be seen at: https://twitter.com/SuperResoluSian/status/1179070565736501254
This is analogous to Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM). Here, the cat pattern represents a distribution of labelled cellular components which have spatial features below the diffraction limit. The plain striped pattern represents the output of a diffraction grating or spatial light modulator in the microscope illumination path used to generate the 'structured illumination'. The moire fringes that are observed represent the resultant detected fluorescence from exciting the sample with the structured illumination, and are of lower frequency of either of the composite frequencies.
With appropriate image processing in SIM, as the input grating pattern is known, the underlying unknown structure (here, the cat pattern) can be calculated with higher resolution that the diffraction limit. To do this, several moire patterns need to be collected with the grating at multiple phases and orientations to collect as much frequency information as possible.
For further information on SIM, I strongly recommend the following review by Heintzmann & Cramer: https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemrev.7b00218

description: Background: Studies of low-energy fusion of light nuclei are important in astrophysical modeling, with small variations in reaction rates having a large impact on nucleosynthesis yields. Due to the lack of experimental data at astrophysical energies, extrapolation and microscopic methods are needed to model fusion probabilities. Purpose: To investigate deep sub-barrier $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C fusion cross sections and establish trends for the $S$ factor. Method: Microscopic methods based on static Hartree-Fock (HF) and time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) mean-field theory are used to obtain $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C ion-ion fusion potentials. Fusion cross sections and astrophysical $S$ factors are then calculated using the incoming wave boundary condition (IWBC) method. Results: Both density-constrained frozen Hartree-Fock (DCFHF) and density-constrained TDHF (DC-TDHF) predict a rising $S$ factor at low energies, with DC-TDHF predicting a slight damping in the deep sub-barrier region ($\approx1$~MeV). Comparison between DC-TDHF calculations and maximum experimental cross-sections in the resonance peaks are good. However the discrepancy in experimental low energy results inhibits interpretation of the trend. Conclusions: Using the fully microscopic DCFHF and DC-TDHF methods, no $S$ factor maximum is observed in the $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C fusion reaction. In addition, no extreme sub-barrier hindrance is predicted at low energies. The development of a microscopic theory of fusion including resonance effects, as well as further experiments at lower energies must be done before the deep sub-barrier behavior of the reaction can be established.

description: This paper presents a two country model with private stockholders and producers featuring rational expectations which is used to evaluate emergency reserve, private storage and trade related policies to stabilize grain prices. Contrary to existing works, this paper looks at extreme events besides price volatility, both representing political concerns. Findings illustrate the benefits from trade and that private storage, even if subsidized, hardly manages to avoid extreme price spikes although it is very efficient in reducing price volatility. In contrast, a (common) public emergency reserve allows compensating large supply shortages at a reasonable level of fiscal costs while leaving the lower quantiles of the price distribution largely unaffected. A private storage subsidy significantly impacts trade whereas a reserve hardly does. Policy makers looking for stabilization mechanisms may consider either option or a combination thereof. Free trade is beneficial if stocking policies match while otherwise a free-rider problem is created.

description: Geographical indication (GI) is an important measure for revealing the origin of a product and communicating the salient site-specific practices embedded in the value chain. For most products and services, recent literature has extensively documented consumer concerns for GI and other quality attributes especially in the developed nations. However, in the developing countries there is very limited empirical analysis of these aspects; in fact there is a complete lack of research insight on GI for honey in Kenya. The present study contributes to fill this knowledge gap through a choice experiment survey of consumer perceptions and preferences for GI and other important quality attributes in honey. The study applied the random parameter logit (RPL) model to analyze data from a random sample of 478 honey consumers drawn from three distinct areas in Kenya: a rural semi-arid honey producing area, Kitui; a humid production-consumption area, Nakuru and; a cosmopolitan net consuming area, the city of Nairobi. Results show that consumers have significant positive preferences for GI labelling, floral source disclosure, organic production methods and joint public-private certification of honey quality. The middle income category of consumers and the relatively aged ones have a specifically strong preference for organic honey. These insights should be integrated in the improvement of honey value chains.

description: Motivated by the recent observation of evidences of ferromagnetism in correlated insulating states in systems with Moiré superlattices, we study a two-orbital quantum antiferromagnetic model on the triangular lattice, where the two orbitals physically correspond to the two valleys of the original graphene sheet. For simplicity this model has a SU(2)$^s$$\otimes$SU(2)$^v$ symmetry, where the two SU(2) symmetries correspond to the rotation within the spin and valley space respectively. Through analytical argument, Schwinger boson analysis and also DMRG simulation, we find that even though all the couplings in the Hamiltonian are antiferromagnetic, there is still a region in the phase diagram with fully polarized ferromagnetic order. We argue that a Zeeman field can drive a metal-insulator transition in our picture, as was observed experimentally. We also construct spin liquids and topological ordered phases at various limits of this model. Then after doping this model with extra charge carriers, the system most likely becomes spin-triplet/valley-singlet $d+id$ topological superconductor as was predicted previously.

description: This study evaluates the effect of improved sweet potato varieties on household food security. Data was collected from cross sectional survey of 164 sweet potato farmers in Kenya. Food security was measured using the Household Dietary diversity Score (HDDS) and endogenous switching probit model used to assess the effect of improved sweet potato varieties on household food security. Off-farm income, output of sweet potato, farm size, land tenure and government extension were the main drivers of food security. Findings were that adopters of improved varieties were likely to be food secure compared to their counterfactual case of not adopting the improved varieties. Additionally, non adopters would do no better or worse than a random individual if they adopt the improved sweet potato varieties. Policies that increase improved sweet potato variety productivity and ease farmers’ adoption constraints can ensure that farmers diversify farm income to enhance the food security of households

description: A quantum system subject to external fields is said to be controllable if these fields can be adjusted to guide the state vector to a desired destination in the state space of the system. Fundamental results on controllability are reviewed against the background of recent ideas and advances in two seemingly disparate endeavors: (i) laser control of chemical reactions and (ii) quantum computation. Using Lie-algebraic methods, sufficient conditions have been derived for global controllability on a finite-dimensional manifold of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, in the case that the Hamiltonian and control operators, possibly unbounded, possess a common dense domain of analytic vectors. Some simple examples are presented. A synergism between quantum control and quantum computation is creating a host of exciting new opportunities for both activities. The impact of these developments on computational many-body theory could be profound.

description: Historical Functional Linear Models (HFLM) quantify associations between a functional predictor and functional outcome where the predictor is an exposure variable that occurs before, or at least concurrently with, the outcome. Current work on the HFLM is largely limited to frequentist estimation techniques that employ spline-based basis representations. In this work, we propose a novel use of the discrete wavelet-packet transformation, which has not previously been used in functional models, to estimate historical relationships in a fully Bayesian model. Since inference has not been an emphasis of the existing work on HFLMs, we also employ two established Bayesian inference procedures in this historical functional setting. We investigate the operating characteristics of our wavelet-packet HFLM, as well as the two inference procedures, in simulation and use the model to analyze data on the impact of lagged exposure to particulate matter finer than 2.5$μ$g on heart rate variability in a cohort of journeyman boilermakers over the course of a day's shift.

description: To feed a growing and increasingly urbanized population, Uganda needs to increase crop production without further exhausting available resources. Therefore, smallholders farmers are encouraged to adopt sustainable crop intensification methods such as inorganic fertilizer or hybrid seeds. However, these farmers perceive these new technologies as risky, hence adoption will depend on how well they can manage this additional risk. This article documents patterns observed in socio-economic data that suggest risk is an important barrier to sustainable crop intensification practices among Ugandan small-holder rice and potato farmers.

Erinnerungsarbeit stellt einen Kernaspekt der Bemühungen des schulischen Geschichtsunterrichts dar. So alltäglich das Erinnern scheint, so abstrakt kann seine Rolle im Lernen über die Vergangenheit in Erscheinung treten. Aus diesem Grund gilt es, das Erinnern zu einer greifbaren Konstante des Geschichtsunterrichts zu machen. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Möglichkeit, lokale Lernorte nutzbar zu machen, um so die Geschichte der eigenen Lebensumwelt aufzudecken und sowohl ins Klassenzimmer als auch in das Geschichtsbewusstsein der Schüler zu holen. Dabei sollen neben den traditionellen, aufgearbeiteten Lernorten (wie Gedenkstätten) auch Zeitzeugen und bisher nicht-didaktisierte Überreste in der direkten Umgebung von Schule und Schülern eine Rolle spielen. Exemplarisch wird dies am Beispiel der Munitionsfabrik Hirschhagen durchgeführt. Eine Einrichtung, die trotz ihrer Relevanz für die deutsche Rüstungsindustrie des Zweiten Weltkriegs vielen Deutschen – auch in ihrer direkten Umgebung – nach wie vor unbekannt bleibt. Potenzielle Lernorte wie dieser sollen auf ihre Bedeutung für einen praxisnahen Geschichtsunterricht untersucht und Möglichkeiten der Umsetzung angeführt werden.

description: This study analyzed how extreme weather conditions affect the mean and variability of the yields of 11 staple crops in Nigeria. The research involved the use of a pooled panel data of 36 states and the federal capital territory over the period of 1991-2012. The framework for analysis consisted of the production risk model developed by Just and Pope for yield estimation. Unit root tests and Maximum Likelihood Estimation techniques were used to obtain reliable estimates of the model’s parameters. The results showed that the mean and variance of the yield of all the staple crops were diversely influenced by extreme weather events.

description: Global child feeding practices remain suboptimal. In this study, we assess the deter-minants of age‐inappropriate breastfeeding, dietary diversity, and consumption of3+ types of animal source foods (ASFs) using 11,687 observations from combineddata from the Indonesian Demographic Health Survey of 2012 and 2017. We usedlinear and logistic regression after adjusting for the complex sampling design. Child'sage and quality of antenatal care (ANC) were associated with all outcomes. Socio‐economic status and labour force participation were positively associated with higherdietary diversity score, ASF consumption, and age‐inappropriate breastfeeding. MoreANC visits and having consultation at ANC were associated with more dietary diver-sity. Higher women's knowledge level was associated with more dietary diversity andconsuming more ASF. Compared with western Indonesia, more children in easternIndonesia were age‐inappropriately breastfed and had lower dietary diversity. TheIndonesian government needs to develop programmes to improve child feeding par-ticularly in eastern Indonesia, focusing on improving dietary diversity and ASF con-sumption in poorer households and on prolonging breastfeeding in richerhouseholds. Women's labour force participation should be encouraged, butprogrammes for working mothers are also needed to support continued breastfeedingand to express breast milk. ANC and postnatal programmes need improved consulta-tion sessions for child feeding.
