description: We investigate the possibility of testing factorization hypothesis in non-leptonic exclusive decays of B-meson. In particular, we considered the non factorizable \bar{B^0} -> D^{(*)+} D_s^{(*)-} modes and \bar{B^0} -> D^{(*)+} (π^-, ρ^-) known as well-factorizable modes. By taking the ratios BR(\bar{B^0}-> D^{(*)+}D_s^{(*)-})/BR(\bar{B^0}-> D^{(*)+}(π^-,ρ^-)), we found that under the present theoretical and experimental uncertainties there's no evidence for the breakdown of factorization description to heavy-heavy decays of the B meson.

Specifically, we formulate the three-body problem in one dimension in terms of the (Faddeev-type) integral equation approach. As a first application, we develop a spinless, one-dimensional (1-D) model that mimics three-nucleon dynamics in one dimension. In addition, we investigate the effects of pionic 3NF diagrams.

description: In this tutorial we review physical implementation of quantum computing using a system of cold trapped ions. We discuss systematically all the aspects for making the implementation possible. Firstly, we go through the loading and confining of atomic ions in the linear Paul trap, then we describe the collective vibrational motion of trapped ions. Further, we discuss interactions of the ions with a laser beam. We treat the interactions in the travelling-wave and standing-wave configuration for dipole and quadrupole transitions. We review different types of laser cooling techniques associated with trapped ions. We address Doppler cooling, sideband cooling in and beyond the Lamb-Dicke limit, sympathetic cooling and laser cooling using electromagnetically induced transparency. After that we discuss the problem of state detection using the electron shelving method. Then quantum gates are described. We introduce single-qubit rotations, two-qubit controlled-NOT and multi-qubit controlled-NOT gates. We also comment on more advanced multi-qubit logic gates. We describe how quantum logic networks may be used for the synthesis of arbitrary pure quantum states. Finally, we discuss the speed of quantum gates and we also give some numerical estimations for them. A discussion of dynamics on off-resonant transitions associated with a qualitative estimation of the weak coupling regime and of the Lamb-Dicke regime is included in Appendix.

description: Coronal heating is a big question for modern astronomy. Daily measurement of 985 solar spectral irradiances (SSIs) at the spectral intervals 1-39 nm and 116-2416 nm during March 1 2003 to October 28 2017 is utilized to investigate characteristics of solar rotation in the solar atmosphere by means of the Lomb \,-\, Scargle periodogram method to calculate their power spectra. The rotation period of coronal plasma is obtained to be 26.3 days, and that of the solar atmosphere at the bottom of the photosphere modulated by magnetic structures is 27.5 days. Here we report for the first time that unexpectedly the coronal atmosphere is found to rotate faster than the underlying photosphere. When time series of SSIs are divided into different cycles, and the ascending and descending periods of a solar cycle, rotation rate in the corona is also found to be larger than that in the photosphere, and this actually gives hidden evidence: it is small-scale magnetic activity that heats the corona.

We find a result which differs somewhat from earlier calculations, leading to modifications in the evolution of leptonic mixing angles and CP phases.

description: The western NSW rangeland is the pastoral zone of NSW, with increasing abundance and distribution of feral goats (Capra hircus). Feral goats are generally viewed as agricultural pests impacting on agricultural production and natural resources but they are also valuable economic resources that generate income for many pastoralists. This paper presents an economic analysis of alternative feral goat management strategies in the western NSW rangelands. We used benefit‐cost analysis to evaluate the Net Present Value (NPV) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of feral goat management strategies including do‐nothing, opportunistic harvesting, ‘value added goats’ and establishment of goat‐proof fencing on representative properties in the Bourke, Cobar and Broken Hill districts. We found that the opportunistic harvesting and ‘value added goats’ strategies generate net benefits whereas do‐nothing and goat‐proof fencing strategies return net losses resulting mainly from the opportunity cost of lost income. The NPV of the management strategies examined ranged between ‐$383,577 and $855,836, with BCR between 0.34 and 3.77. NPVs were more sensitive to goat price than goat population. Establishment of goat‐proof fencing could be justified only if increases in stocking rate could be achieved beyond those resulting from the replacement of feral goats by sheep. If achieved over the whole property, these increases are probably not beyond what might be expected from improved gazing management. The implications of the results for natural resource management policies in the region are briefly discussed.

Electrohydrodynamic flows inside a neutrally buoyant leaky dielectric drop

description: We present for the first time an experimental investigation of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flows within a neutrally buoyant drop with initial radius of 2.25 mm. Utilizing particle image velocimetry (PIV) and high-speed shadowgraphy, we measure the internal circulation and reported velocity profiles in the bulk and at the interface of the drop. Two leaky dielectric liquids, Silicone and Castor oils, are employed as the drop and external phase, allowing for the analysis of two shape configurations: oblate and prolate. The strength of the applied uniform electric field, $E_o$, spans from 0.125 to 1.75 kV/cm, enabling the analysis covering the small-deformation limit, where the leaky dielectric model (LDM) is applicable. Drops with larger deformations, for which no analytical velocity field is available, are also investigated. Our measurements show a good agreement with the LDM theory for the small-deformation cases. The flows begin at the interface as a result of jump in the electric stresses, leading then to four counter-rotating vortices inside the drop. At permanent regime, the analytical solutions adequately predicts the radial and tangential velocity components both in the bulk and at the interface of the drop. However, a nuanced behavior is noticed for larger deformations, where the LDM theory underpredicts the internal circulation. Moreover, due to the increased deformation, a non-uniform azimuthal profile is observed for the velocity at the interface. Transient measurements of this velocity component enlighten the dynamic response of the EHD flows of the drop. Following the currently available analytical solutions, the dynamic response is governed by the time-scale of its deformation. We propose a critical value of electric capillary number of roughly 0.1 below which the LDM adequately describes the velocity field in both quasi steady-state and transitory regimes.

Non-zero pseudo-spin couplings between the configurations play a very important role in determining the M1 strength distribution, especially its rapidly changing fragmentation pattern which differs significantly from what has been found in neighboring even-even systems. The results suggest one should examine contributions from intruder levels.

description: Distributed learning across a coalition of organizations allows the members of the coalition to train and share a model without sharing the data used to optimize this model. In this paper, we propose new secure architectures that guarantee preservation of data privacy, trustworthy sequence of iterative learning and equitable sharing of the learned model among each member of the coalition by using adequate encryption and blockchain mechanisms. We exemplify its deployment in the case of the distributed optimization of a deep learning convolutional neural network trained on medical images.

description: The study of the recently constructed group foliation for the geopotential forecast equation is continued. The group foliation consists of two systems, namely the automorphic and resolving systems, the analysis of which facilitates the derivation of invariant solutions for the original equation. As obtaining a general solution to the resolving system (even to its reductions on subgroups) is problematic, its various particular solutions are considered. Consequently, the question arises concerning the specific forms of automorphic systems that correspond to exact solutions obtained through alternative methods. This is of interest for both comparing solutions derived through different approaches and for the integration of specific automorphic systems. The problem is discussed in a number of examples.

description: Biodiversity is the basis for agriculture and for a sustainable future. More than 1.9 million living species have been described; millions more have gone extinct, including major branches of the tree of life. The distribution of this biological diversity is variable in space and time, although it is becoming more homogeneous as a result of globalisation. Only a few hundred species of plants and animals have been domesticated over the past 10 000 years, yet they are essential for the livelihoods of people worldwide. New tools are giving us insights into the origins of agriculture, as well as opening new possibilities for using and changing the genetic diversity of these crops and races. This can have a major impact on the wellbeing of present and future generations. Agriculture is also having major impacts on natural ecosystems. An estimated 25% of terrestrial ecosystems have been transformed into production systems, mostly in the past 50 years. Habitat loss and fragmentation, pollution and invasions are some of the impacts. Climate change is likely to have additional impacts that will alter the distribution and abundance of biodiversity, as well as the interactions among species. It is time to bring together knowledge from biodiversity science and agriculture through a whole-system approach. A better understanding of the diversity, distribution, evolution and ecology of life is essential for a sustainable future. It can also open new avenues for agriculture and food security.

description: Australia's isolation from other continents over millions of years led to the evolution of many species that exist nowhere else, so called ‘endemic’ species. Of the ten megadiverse countries in the world, we are the only one that is labelled as ‘developed’ so have a global leadership role in getting the balance right. However, European settlement and the introduction of exotic species animals and plants have perturbed ecosystems, leading to changes in the distribution and abundance of many species. Extinctions of species in Australia now occur at 100–1000 times the ‘background’ rate. Land transformation—the clearing of natural habitat for grazing, cropping and infrastructure— has been a major driver of change and species loss. Overgrazing of native pastures is a particularly widespread problem, compounded by a changing climate and a higher incidence of drought in some areas. Drought also exacerbates damage to wetlands, as river flows are reduced by over-allocation of water to agriculture and other uses. However, recent transformations in the agriculture sector (e.g. water efficiency gains) and government policy (e.g. land clearing legislation) have halted the drivers of biodiversity loss. Now, agriculture should not be seen as the problem, but rather as the solution. The best chance for many species is persistence in an agricultural matrix, not the national parks system (which is inadequately funded to meet its management objectives). Significant progress can, for example, be made through habitat restoration, wetland creation and modifying grazing and fire management practices, all of which have major benefits through carbon sequestration. Biodiversity conservation areas should be integrated with agricultural land in ways that create almost win– win situations—I think we can have biodiversity and eat too. We need to prioritise ecosystems and species for conservation, and allocate resources accordingly. We also need to convince the conservation movement that preservation is only part of the solution—active and aggressive intervention is another way of conserving biodiversity. This will not be achieved easily without education of the Australian people and encouraging their love of the diversity of nature.
Entanglement in the Dicke model

description: We show how an ion trap, configured for the coherent manipulation of external and internal quantum states, can be used to simulate the irreversible dynamics of a collective angular momentum model known as the Dicke model. In the special case of two ions, we show that entanglement is created in the coherently driven steady state with linear driving. For the case of more than two ions we calculate the entanglement between two ions in the steady state of the Dicke model by tracing over all the other ions. The entanglement in the steady state is a maximum for the parameter values corresponding roughly to a bifurcation of a fixed point in the corresponding semiclassical dynamics. We conjecture that this is a general mechanism for entanglement creation in driven dissipative quantum systems.

description: The "Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment" (AWAKE) aims to accelerate leptons via proton-beam-driven wakefield acceleration. It comprises extensive numerical studies as well as experiments at the CERN laboratory. The baseline scenario incorporates a plasma volume of approximately $62\,\mathrm{cm}^3$. The plasma wavelength is about $1.25\,\mathrm{mm}$ and needs to be adequately resolved, using a minimum of $130$ points per plasma wavelength, in order to accurately reproduce the physics. The baseline scenario incorporates the proton beam micro-bunching, the concurrent non-linear wakefield growth as well as the off-axis electron beam injection, trapping and acceleration. We present results for the first three-dimensional simulation of this baseline scenario with a full model, using a sufficient resolution. The simulation consumed about $22\,\mathrm{Mch}$ of computer resources and scaled up to 32768 cores, thanks to a multitude of adaptions, improvements and optimization of the simulation code PSC. Through this large-scale simulation effort we were able to verify the results of reduced-model simulations as well as identify important novel effects during the electron injection process.

description: Biosecurity is the management of risks to the economy, the environment and the community of pests and diseases entering, emerging, establishing or spreading. In Australia, biosecurity services are delivered by government and industry in partnership with farmers and the wider community as a shared responsibility. This is described in a biosecurity continuum to convey that biosecurity outcomes cannot be delivered if any element of the continuum is missing or ineffective. Biodiversity is both an outcome of and a contributor to biosecurity actions, for example as a source of biological control agents and genetic diversity for host resistance breeding. Biotechnology is a tool that can help deliver biosecurity outcomes, although it may also generate biosecurity concerns unless appropriately managed. Our environment and the activities it supports can be viewed as a large and complex ecosystem. Meshing the biosecurity continuum approach with an ecosystem concept can help government, industry and communities to identify priority actions to deliver trade, food safety and security and biodiversity outcomes through risk-based analysis and delivery of biosecurity actions. Valuing the outcomes of biosecurity actions, particularly in the natural or built environment where dollar values are not as clear as they are in commercial production systems, is difficult and generally a product of societal values and individual impacts.

description: Firstly, an analysis is made from the point of view of sociology on traditional modeling logic of prevention and control of adolescents' deviant behavior in rural community, and maintenance and reproduction of this model. The traditional prevention and control model of adolescents’ deviant behavior in rural community is diversity-orderly pattern prevention and control system. This system is based on natural economy, especially on agricultural economy. Supervision by public opinion and moral imitation is the basic operation logic of this system. It contains a compensation mechanism of bringing up children for the purpose of being looked after in old age and favor returning. Then, deconstruction of traditional prevention and control model for adolescents' deviant behavior in rural community is analyzed. Along with advance in rural modern democratic management and legal construction and growing of rural market economy, function of traditional diversity-orderly pattern of prevention and control of adolescents’ deviate behavior in rural community is weak and weak in prevention and control of modern rural adolescents’ deviate behavior. Finally, modeling ideas of new (coordinative) prevention and control of rural adolescents ' deviate behavior are put forward from four aspects, namely, democracy and legal system, community, family and various rural adolescent admittance organizations.

description: Automatic Compliance Checking (ACC) within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector necessitates automating the interpretation of building regulations to achieve its full potential. Converting textual rules into machine-readable formats is challenging due to the complexities of natural language and the scarcity of resources for advanced Machine Learning (ML). Addressing these challenges, we introduce CODE-ACCORD, a dataset of 862 sentences from the building regulations of England and Finland. Only the self-contained sentences, which express complete rules without needing additional context, were considered as they are essential for ACC. Each sentence was manually annotated with entities and relations by a team of 12 annotators to facilitate machine-readable rule generation, followed by careful curation to ensure accuracy. The final dataset comprises 4,297 entities and 4,329 relations across various categories, serving as a robust ground truth. CODE-ACCORD supports a range of ML and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, including text classification, entity recognition, and relation extraction. It enables applying recent trends, such as deep neural networks and large language models, to ACC.

description: Based on the questionnaire survey for 431 new generation minority migrant workers in Kunming City, we carried out empirical research on education demands of these migrant workers and its influence factors. Survey results show mat their education demands have significant features in learning purposes, contents, expenses, willingness, and manners, which are subject to subjective mentality, economic income, social relation network, as well as shortage in social supply of education and training. Therefore, apart from solving training problem of new generation minority migrant workers, government should also highly value their demands of training and arouse their enthusiasm for participation in training in accordance with cultural and psychological characteristics and living environment of these migrant workers.
Superlight gravitinos in electron-photon collisions

description: Motivated by recent studies of supersymmetry in higher-dimensional spaces, we discuss the experimental signatures of a superlight gravitino, mass < 0.001 eV. We concentrate on the process (e- gamma -> selectronR gravitino) as a probe of supersymmetry, where a single heavy superpartner and a superlight gravitino are produced. The fact that there is only one heavy superpartner in the final state in this process would require a lower center-of-mass energy for on-shell production compared to conventional pair production. For instance, for a 500 GeV machine, we find that a positive signal will be found if the supersymmetry breaking scale is less than about 2 TeV. If no positive signal is found, this process puts a bound on the supersymmetry breaking scale.

description: The species Calyptra minuticornis is divided into two subspecies: C. minuticornis novaepommeraniae (Strand) and C. minuticornis minuticornis (Guenée) based on minor morphological differences, geographic distribution, and differential feeding behaviors in the adults. In this study, museum specimens were examined, including the holotypes of C. novaepommeraniae and C. minuticornis. A comprehensive distribution map was generated for C. minuticornis. A permutational multivariate analysis of variance provided some statistical evidence for minor differences between the male genitalic morphology. Additionally, the maximum parsimony analysis of the C. minuticornis subspecies complex resulted in a polytomy and did not represent natural groupings. From these results, it can be concluded that C. minuticornis novaepommeraniae and C. minuticornis minuticornis should be synonymized. A redescription of the species and a revised checklist for the genus is also provided. This includes synonymization of Wolframmeyia Behounek, Hacker & Speidel with Calyptra and evidence that Percalpe Berio is an unavailable name.

description: Shrinking productive land coupled with climate change has led to rising food insecurity in COMESA region. The situation has been exacerbated by the rise in food prices as witnessed in the vast majority of COMESA member countries and elsewhere in the world. Intra-regional trade in food staples offers prospects for enhancing food security through cross border trade and movement of food from surplus to deficit areas. The objective of the current study is to analyze the opportunities available in intra-regional trade in food staples in COMESA region. Using data for selected countries in COMESA region, the study finds that, while some countries, or even some regions within the same country, are food surplus, others are food deficit and literally lacking food to buy in some seasons. This creates a framework for a win-win situation—the food surplus countries/regions could get better prices for their products by selling to food deficit countries/regions while food deficit countries/regions could avoid food shortages and extreme food price volatility by allowing inflow of food staples from surplus countries/region. The regional diversity, differential rainfall patterns across the countries coupled with the phenomenon of staggered harvesting due to spatial climatic variability has and will continue to be major stimulus for cross-border trade from food surplus areas in one country to food deficit areas in neighboring countries. The study also finds that a more liberalized cross-border trade leads to reduced price volatility. Further, the analysis of the results shows that trade in staples has grown rapidly in the recent past in the COMESA region. Consequently the impacts of regional trade in food staples in the region cannot be debated. The region is also faced with numerous tariff/non-tariff barriers, poor infrastructure and lack of market information which translates to increased transaction costs. The study recommends a regional approach to enhance food security and agricultural growth, rather than a national isolated approach. There is need for a clear follow up and monitoring of the implemented COMESA commitment of eliminating NTBs and prevention of entry of new NTBs. Regional approach is highly advocated to elimination of the NTBs as they are similar across countries in addition to investment in improved infrastructure.
Dalitz Plot Analysis of the Decay D^+ --> K^- pi^+ pi^+ and Indication of a Low-Mass Scalar K pi Resonance

description: We study the Dalitz plot of the decay D^+ --> K^- pi^+ pi^+ with a sample of 15090 events from Fermilab experiment E791. Modeling the decay amplitude as the coherent sum of known K pi resonances and a uniform nonresonant term, we do not obtain an acceptable fit. If we allow the mass and width of the K^*_0(1430) to float, we obtain values consistent with those from PDG but the chi^2 per degree of freedom of the fit is still unsatisfactory. A good fit is found when we allow for the presence of an additional scalar resonance, with mass 797 +/- 19 +/- 43 MeV/c^2 and width 410 +/- 43 +/- 87 MeV/c^2. The mass and width of the K^*_0(1430) become 1459 +/- 7 +/- 5 MeV/c^2 and 175 +/- 12 +/- 12 MeV/c^2, respectively. Our results provide new information on the scalar sector in hadron spectroscopy.
