description: A structural time series approach utilizing the state space model is used to analyze the impact of exchange rate volatility on the bilateral U.S. cotton exports to major export destinations. An EGARCH (Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) model with normal and non-normal errors is used to estimate the volatility of exchange rate. Monthly data from 1995 to 2006 is utilized for the analysis. The results indicate a negative relationship between exchange rate volatility and U.S. cotton exports for most countries. The stochastic process governing the U.S. cotton exports to different countries is found to be permanent as well as transitory. The results support the view that the impact of exchange rate volatility can be better understood by analyzing markets separately.

description: We discuss an inverse approach for atomistic modeling of glassy materials. The focus is on structural modeling and electronic properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon and glassy GeSe2 alloy. The work is based upon a new approach "experimentally constrained molecular relaxation (ECMR)". Unlike conventional approaches (such as molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo simulations(MC), where a potential function is specified and the system evolves either deterministically (MD) or stochastically (MC), we develop a novel scheme to model structural configurations using experimental data in association with density functional calculations. We have applied this approach to model hydrogenated amorphous silicon and glassy GeSe2. The electronic and structural properties of these models are compared with experimental data and models obtained from conventional molecular dynamics simulation.

description: We study a cluster of quantum dots defined within silicene that host confined electron states with spin and valley degrees of freedom. Atomistic tight-binding and continuum Dirac approximation are applied for few-electron system in quest for spontaneous valley polarization driven by inter-dot tunneling and electron-electron interaction, i.e. a valley counterpart of itinerary Nagaoka ferromagnetic ordering recently identified in GaAs square cluster of quantum dots with three excess electrons [P. Dehollain, {\it et al.}, Nature {\bf 579}, 528 (2020)]. We find that for Hamiltonian without intrinsic-spin orbit coupling -- similar to the one of graphene with staggered potential -- the valley polarization in the ground-state can be observed in a range of inter-dot spacing provided that the spin of the system is frozen by external magnetic field. The inter-valley scattering effects are negligible for cluster geometry that supports the valley polarized ground-state. In presence of a strong intrinsic spin-orbit coupling that is characteristic to graphene no external magnetic field is necessary for observation of ground-state that is polarized in both spin and valley. The effective magnetic field due to the spin-orbit interaction produces a perfect anticorrelation of the spin and valley isospin components in the degenerate ground-state.

description: There have been active efforts in the U.S., Europe, and Japan on the design of a Neutrino Factory. This type of facility produces intense beams of neutrinos from the decay of muons in a high energy storage ring. In the U.S., a second detailed Feasibility Study (FS2) for a Neutrino Factory was completed in 2001. Since that report was published, new ideas in bunching, cooling and acceleration of muon beams have been developed. We have incorporated these ideas into a new facility design, which we designate as Study 2B (ST2B), that should lead to significant cost savings over the FS2 design.

Estimating Black Hole Masses in Active Galaxies Using the Halpha Emission Line

description: It has been established that virial masses for black holes in low-redshift active galaxies can be estimated from measurements of the optical continuum strength and the width of the broad Hbeta line. Under various circumstances, however, both of these quantities can be challenging to measure or can be subject to large systematic uncertainties. To mitigate these difficulties, we present a new method for estimating black hole masses. From analysis of a new sample of broad-line active galactic nuclei, we find that Halpha luminosity scales almost linearly with optical continuum luminosity and that a strong correlation exists between Halpha and Hbeta line widths. These two empirical correlations allow us to translate the standard virial mass system to a new one based solely on observations of the broad Halpha emission line.

description: In recent years, new phases of matter that are beyond the Landau paradigm of symmetry breaking are mountaining, and to catch up with this fast development, new notions of global symmetry are introduced. Among them, the higher-form symmetry, whose symmetry charges are spatially extended, can be used to describe topologically ordered phases as the spontaneous breaking of the symmetry, and consequently unify the unconventional and conventional phases under the same conceptual framework. However, such conceptual tools have not been put into quantitative test except for certain solvable models, therefore limiting its usage in the more generic quantum manybody systems. In this work, we study Z2 higher-form symmetry in a quantum Ising model, which is dual to the global (0-form) Ising symmetry. We compute the expectation value of the Ising disorder operator, which is a non-local order parameter for the higher-form symmetry, analytically in free scalar theories and through unbiased quantum Monte Carlo simulations for the interacting fixed point in (2+1)d. From the scaling form of this extended object, we confirm that the higher-form symmetry is indeed spontaneously broken inside the paramagnetic, or quantum disordered phase (in the Landau sense), but remains symmetric in the ferromagnetic/ordered phase. At the Ising critical point, we find that the higher-form symmetry is also spontaneously broken, even though the 0-form symmetry is preserved. We discuss examples where both the global 0-form symmetry and the dual higher-form symmetry are preserved, in systems with a codimension-1 manifold of gapless points in momentum space. These results provide non-trivial working examples of higher-form symmetry operators, including the first computation of one-form order parameter in an interacting conformal field theory, and open the avenue for their generic implementation in quantum many-body systems.
On the effect of cyclotron emission on the spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We have investigated the role of the cyclotron emission associated to cosmic magnetic fields on the evolution of CMB spectral distortions by considering the contributions by spontaneous and stimulated emission and by absorption in the computation of the photon and energy injection rates. These cyclotron emission rates have been numerically compared with those of the relevant radiative processes operating in the cosmic plasma, bremsstrahlung and double Compton scattering, for realistic CMB distorted spectra at early and late epochs. For reasonable magnetic field strengths we find that the cyclotron emission contribution is much smaller than the bremsstrahlung and double Compton contributions, because of their different frequency locations and the high bremsstrahlung and double Compton efficiency to keep the long wavelength region of the CMB spectrum close to a blackbody (at electron temperature) during the formation of the spectral distortion. Differently from previous analyses, we find that for a very large set of dissipation mechanisms the role of cyclotron emission in the evolution of CMB spectral distortions is negligible and, in particular, it cannot re-establish a blackbody spectrum after the generation of a realistic early distortion. The constraints on the energy exchanges at various cosmic times can be then derived, under quite general assumptions, by considering only Compton scattering, bremsstrahlung, and double Compton, other than, obviously, the considered dissipation process. Finally, upper limits to the CMB polarization degree induced by cyclotron emission have been estimated.

description: In the context of tomographic cosmic shear surveys, a theoretical model for the one-point statistics of the aperture mass (Map) is developed. This formalism is based on the application of the large deviation principle to the projected matter density field and more specifically to the angular aperture masses. The latter holds the advantage of being an observable that can be directly extracted from the observed shear field and to be, by construction, independent from the long wave modes. Furthermore we show that, with the help of a nulling procedure based on the so-called BNT transform, it is possible to build observables that depend only on a finite range of redshifts making them also independent from the small-scale modes. This procedure makes predictions for the shape of the one-point Probability Distribution Function of such an observable very accurate, comparable to what had been previously obtained for 3D observables. Comparisons with specific simulations reveal however inconsistent results showing that synthetic lensing maps were not accurate enough for such refined observables. It points to the need for more precise dedicated numerical developments whose performances could be benchmarked with such observables. We furthermore review the possible systematics that could affect such a formalism in future weak-lensing surveys like Euclid, notably the impact of shape noise as well as leading corrections coming from lens-lens couplings, geodesic deviation, reduced shear and magnification bias.

description: The purpose of this article is to evaluate and compare the incremental cost of purchased power from non-utility generators versus utility built generation considering a variety of contracts for energy purchases. Four types of contracts are evaluated: I) Flat Rate Produce and Pay, 2) On-Peak/Off-Peak, 3) Basic Dispatchable, and 4) Actual Cycle Energy Dispatch. The type of contract can affect the competitiveness of electric rates through increased energy production costs as well as increased risks, in terms of financial liability, affecting the cost of debt to the purchasing utility. An analysis conducted for a representative utility calculates the effects of NUG power purchases on a utility's energy production costs and the cost of new debt issuances. Dispatchable energy contracts are shown to provide significant economic and operating advantages over Flat Rate and OnPeak/Off-Peak energy contracts. In addition, an example shows that NUG purchases based on the actual thermal cycle and fuel costs for dispatch cost less than utility-built generation financed at the utility's weighted average cost of capital. NUG's are also shown to act as external instruments that increase a utility's leverage and result in a higher cost of debt for the utility. However, this increase is less than the finance costs for an identical facility built by the utility. NUG contracts for a utility which already has significant risk exposure are shown to parallel a capital lease. Under these conditions, additional payment obligations to NUGs increase the cost of new debt issuances making an equity issuance for utility built capacity a more attractive option.

description: It has previously been proposed that annihilating dark matter particles with MeV-scale masses could be responsible for the flux of 511 keV photons observed from the region of the Galactic Bulge. The conventional wisdom, however, is that it is very challenging to construct a viable particle physics model containing MeV dark matter. In this letter, we challenge this conclusion by describing a simple and natural supersymmetric model in which the lightest supersymmetric particle naturally has a MeV-scale mass and the other phenomenological properties required to generate the 511 keV emission. In particular, the small ($\sim$ $10^{-5}$) effective couplings between dark matter and the Standard Model fermions required in this scenario naturally lead to radiative corrections that generate MeV-scale masses for both the dark matter candidate and the mediator particle.

description: A model is developed that derives optimal pollution levels and determines the welfare economics of pollution reduction, differentiating between abatement and output reduction. It is suitable to analyze alternative policy instruments aimed to reduce external costs of agricultural production. The model is applied to the U.S. corn sector and we simulate the effects of stylized environmental policies for pesticide use on social welfare and environmental quality. The simulation results indicate that across policy scenarios, fairly modest reductions in output may induce significant gains in social welfare and environmental quality.

description: Ceramic solid solutions of PbZr(1-x)TixO3 (PZT) with compositions of about x= 0.50 are well-known for their extraordinarily large piezoelectric responses. The latter are highly anisotropic, and it was recently shown that, for the rhombohedral compositions (x< 0.5), the piezoelectric coefficients were largest away from the polar direction, contrary to common belief. Shortly afterwards a low-symmetry monoclinic phase was observed by synchrotron x-ray diffraction at around x=0.50. Similar behavior and features are also present in a number of related lead-based strongly-piezoelectric single crystals, such as PMN-PT, PZN-PT, and PSN-PT, with piezoelectric coeficients of about 2500 pm/V, the highest values recorded to date. Recent experimental and theoretical work has greatly improved our understanding of these technologically-important systems, but there are still some open questions. In this review we try to summarize the most recent progress in the field.

description: There is a guaranteed background of stochastic gravitational waves produced in the thermal plasma in the early universe. Its energy density per logarithmic frequency interval scales with the maximum temperature $T_{\rm max}$ which the primordial plasma attained at the beginning of the standard hot big bang era. It peaks in the microwave range, at around $80\,{\rm GHz}\,[106.75/g_{*s}(T_{\rm max})]^{1/3}$, where $g_{*s}(T_{\rm max})$ is the effective number of entropy degrees of freedom in the primordial plasma at $T_{\rm max}$. We present a state-of-the-art prediction of this Cosmic Gravitational Microwave Background (CGMB) for general models, and carry out calculations for the case of the Standard Model (SM) as well as for several of its extensions. On the side of minimal extensions we consider the Neutrino Minimal SM ($ν$MSM) and the SM - Axion - Seesaw - Higgs portal inflation model (SMASH), which provide a complete and consistent cosmological history including inflation. As an example of a non-minimal extension of the SM we consider the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Furthermore, we discuss the current upper limits and the prospects to detect the CGMB in laboratory experiments and thus measure the maximum temperature and the effective number of degrees of freedom at the beginning of the hot big bang.

description: The most striking consequence of recent food scares was that food quality is no longer the concern of a single firm, but instead the whole food chain has to work together in order to deliver the new quality. For the agri-food business there is evidence that the majority of these more highly co-ordinated chain organisations are organised as vertical networks. The aim of the paper is to determine the degree of influence which the chosen quality strategy exerts on the vertical co-ordination mechanism. A theoretical framework has been developed based on new institutional economics and strategic management theory. The findings are used to analyse the Polish dairy sector and elaborate on the relevance of quality management for this sector.
Quantum antiferromagnetism and high $T_C$ superconductivity: a close connection between the t-J model and the projected BCS Hamiltonian

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: A connection between quantum antiferromagnetism and high $T_C$ superconductivity is theoretically investigated by analyzing the t-J model and its relationships to the Gutzwiller-projected BCS Hamiltonian. After numerical corroboration via exact diagonalization, it is analytically shown that the ground state of the t-J model at half filling (i.e., the 2D antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model) is entirely equivalent to the ground state of the Gutzwiller-projected BCS Hamiltonian with strong pairing. Combined with the high wavefunction overlap between the ground states of the t-J model and the projected BCS Hamiltonian at moderate doping, this equivalence provides strong support for the existence of superconductivity in the t-J model. The relationship between the ground state of the projected BCS Hamiltonian and Anderson's resonating valence bond state (i.e., the projected BCS ground state) is discussed.

title: Maternal lipid metabolism, cytokine profile, and fetal sustainability during gestation: implication of dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
Creators: name: Akerele, Olatunji Anthony
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: The quantity and quality of dietary fats consumed during pregnancy have profound implication on both maternal and fetal health during and after pregnancy. Our laboratory has previously shown that omega (n)-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) regulate offspring lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, and neurotrophin signalling in offspring brain. However, the effects of n-3 PUFA on pregnancy/fetal outcomes are controversial; this is likely due to differences in the amount and/or the source of n-3 PUFA in these studies. My thesis examined the in-utero effects of breeding chow diets, differing in the quantity and quality of dietary fats, on maternal metabolic regulation and pregnancy outcome in C57BL/6 mice. Female mice (7 weeks old) were fed specific diets for 2 weeks before mating and throughout pregnancy; tissues and blood samples were collected before and during gestation at day 6.5, 12.5 and 18.5. My findings revealed that a breeding chow diet containing n-3 PUFA from fish oil maintained maternal metabolic profile to meet fetal lipid requirement during gestation, prevented placental inflammation and sustained more fetuses till late gestation (Chapter 2 and 3). A limitation to this study was that the diets varied in both the quantity (5% vs. 11% w/w), and the quality (providing n-3 PUFA from fish oil at 8% vs. soybean oil at 3% w/w) of fat. I designed my second study using semi-purified diets (containing purified protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and mineral premixes) where the amount of fat was kept consistent (20% w/w), while the amount of n-3 PUFA was varied to give a diet high (9%), low (3%) and very low (1%) in n-3 PUFA from fish oil, respectively. My findings revealed that a maternal diet high in n-3 PUFA prevented dyslipidemia prior to pregnancy and maintained maternal lipid profile required for successful pregnancy. High n-3 PUFA diet also maintained plasma progesterone level during gestation, reduced inflammatory cytokines and sustained higher number of fetuses (Chapter 4). My findings also show that maternal diet high in n-3 PUFA increased the accretion of longer chain n-3 PUFA into fetal brain and regulates neurotrophin signalling as gestation progressed (Chapter 5). Overall, my thesis findings demonstrate the importance of high n-3 PUFA intake during pregnancy.

description: We present new estimates of the brightness temperatures of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune based on the measurements carried in 2009--2013 by PLANCK/LFI at 30, 44, and 70 GHz and released to the public in 2018. This work extends the results presented in the 2013 and 2015 PLANCK/LFI Calibration Papers, based on the data acquired in 2009--2011. PLANCK observed each planet up to eight times during the nominal mission. We processed time-ordered data from the 22 LFI radiometers to derive planet antenna temperatures for each planet and transit. We accounted for the beam shape, radiometer bandpasses, and several systematic effects. We compared our results with the results from the ninth year of WMAP, PLANCK/HFI observations, and existing data and models for planetary microwave emissivity. For Jupiter, we obtain Tb = 144.9, 159.8, 170.5 K (+/- 0.2 K at 1 sigma, with temperatures expressed using the Rayleigh-Jeans scale) at 30, 44 and 70 GHz, respectively, or equivalently a band averaged Planck temperature TbBA=144.7$, 160.3, 171.2 K in good agreement with WMAP and existing models. A slight excess at 30 GHz with respect to models is interpreted as an effect of synchrotron emission. Our measures for Saturn agree with the results from WMAP for rings Tb = 9.2 +/- 1.4, 12.6 +/- 2.3, 16.2 +/- 0.8 K, while for the disc we obtain Tb = 140.0 +/- 1.4, 147.2 +/- 1.2, 150.2 +/- 0.4 K, or equivalently a TbBA=139.7, 147.8, 151.0 K. Our measures for Uranus (Tb = 152 +/- 6, 145 +/- 3, 132.0 +/- 2 K, or TbBA=152, 145, 133 K and Neptune Tb = 154 +/- 11, 148 +/- 9, 128 +/- 3 K, or TbBA=154 , 149, 128 K) agree closely with WMAP and previous data in literature.

description: Using the previous construction of the geometrical representation (GR) of the centerless 1D, N = 4 extended Super Virasoro algebra, we construct the corresponding Short Distance Operation Product Expansions for the deformed version of the algebra. This algebra differs from the regular algebra by the addition of terms containing the Levi-Civita tensor. How this addition changes the super-commutation relations and affects the Short Distance Operation Product Expansions (OPEs) of the associated fields is investigated. The Method of Coadjoint Orbits, which removes the need first to find Lagrangians invariant under the action of the symmetries, is used to calculate the expansions. Finally, an alternative method involving Clifford algebras is investigated for comparison.

description: The declining competitiveness of the Sri Lankan tea industry is an example of shifting competitive advantage in agribusiness. This research uses a case study approach to identify the specific role of information and communication on exporter/importer relationships within the tea supply chain, and the impact on value addition, channel member performance and competitive advantage in the Sri Lankan tea industry. The main primary data collection was conducted through thirty face-to-face executive interviews in Sri Lanka using an extensive semi-structured interview guide. Analyses of the information from the interviews were qualitative in nature. Results demonstrated how good information and communication between exporters and importers promote joint decision making, commitment and loyalty. In turn these affect relationship quality in respect of concepts such as trust, commitment, satisfaction and opportunism. Relationship quality was also shown to have impacts on value creation. Results indicated that this approach leads to inimitable strategic advantages for supply chain players whereby it is difficult for competitors to duplicate such relationships.

description: Although it is well known that the Seiberg-Witten equations do not admit nontrivial $L^2$ solutions in flat space, singular solutions to them have been previously exhibited -- either in $R^3$ or in the dimensionally reduced spaces $R^2$ and $R^1$ -- which have physical interest. In this work, we employ an extension of the Hopf fibration to obtain an iterative procedure to generate particular singular solutions to the Seiberg-Witten and Freund equations on flat space. Examples of solutions obtained by such method are presented and briefly discussed.

description: Accurate diagnosis of cancer stage is inevitable for the following prognosis in patients struggling with these lesions to promote their health and survival rate. Previous studies on survival rate statistics show, in some cases, failure in cancer stage surveys in which metastasis or recurrence of the disease was not accurately prognosed. Morphology study of cancer cells advances the understanding about cancer behavior and its progression, in which, in our previous study on invasive cancer cells, fewer formations of cytoskeleton components compared to their counterparts was observed. Here it is shown that carcinomas with an occult propensity of metastasis depict a number of poorly differentiated cells with decreased amounts of cytoskeleton components in a near‐well differentiated population. Force spectroscopy in conjunction with fluorescence microscopy of lung cancer, liver hepatoma, and melanoma provides a general view of these cells’ architecture, leading to the conclusion that the scarce abnormal‐shaped cells with low formation of structural filaments convey the high risk of metastatic potential of the tumor. The results demonstrate that force spectroscopy complements conventional diagnostic approaches by an accurate cytoskeleton assessment and can improve the following prognosis in epithelial cancers with occult metastasis risk.

description: Producing according to enhanced farm animal welfare (FAW) standards increases costs along the livestock value chain, especially for monitoring certified animal friendly products. In the choice between public or private bodies for carrying out and monitoring certification, consumer preferences and trust play a role. We explore this issue by applying logit analysis involving socio-economic and psychometric variables to survey data from Italy. Results identify marked consumer preferences for public bodies and trust in stakeholders a key determinant.

description: When a physical system is modeled by a nonlinear function, the unknown parameters can be estimated by fitting experimental observations by a least-squares approach. Newton's method and its variants are often used to solve problems of this type. In this paper, we are concerned with the computation of the minimal-norm solution of an underdetermined nonlinear least-squares problem. We present a Gauss-Newton type method, which relies on two relaxation parameters to ensure convergence, and which incorporates a procedure to dynamically estimate the two parameters, as well as the rank of the Jacobian matrix, along the iterations. Numerical results are presented.

description: Trust is recognized as an important asset for Business-to-Business e-commerce success, but few studies investigate the link between trust and e-commerce in agri-food markets. This paper aimed at prioritizing some trust factors in e-relationships between actors operating in the agri-food markets. Starting from the results of a previous analysis (Canavari et al., 2005), the importance of three categories namely share of values and motivations, reliability and reputation and integration availability and non-opportunistic behavior, and six trust factors are prioritized using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The model seems to be capable to assign a priority order to the elements inspiring trust within e-trade relationships in the agri-food chains.
Local Density of States and Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectral Function of an Inhomogeneous D-wave Superconductor

description: Nanoscale inhomogeneity seems to be a central feature of the d-wave superconductivity in the cuprates. Such a feature can strongly affect the local density of states (LDOS) and the spectral weight functions. Within the Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism we examine various inhomogeneous configurations of the superconducting order parameter to see which ones better agree with the experimental data. Nanoscale large amplitude oscillations in the order parameter seem to fit the LDOS data for the underdoped cuprates. The one-particle spectral function for a general inhomogeneous configuration exhibits a coherent peak in the nodal direction. In contrast, the spectral function in the antinodal region is easily rendered incoherent by the inhomogeneity. This throws new light on the dichotomy between the nodal and antinodal quasiparticles in the underdoped cuprates.
