description: The BICEP/Keck (BK) experiment aims to detect the imprint of primordial gravitational waves in the Cosmic Microwave Background polarization, which would be direct evidence of the inflation theory. While the tensor-to-scalar ratio has been constrained to be r_0.05 < 0.06 at 95% c.l., further improvements on this upper limit are hindered by polarized Galactic foreground emissions and removal of gravitational lensing polarization. The 30/40 GHz receiver of the BICEP Array (BA) will deploy at the end of 2019 and will constrain the synchrotron foreground with unprecedented accuracy within the BK sky patch. We will show the design of the 30/40 GHz detectors and test results summarizing its performance. The low optical and atmospheric loading at these frequencies requires our TES detectors to have low saturation power in order to be photon-noise dominated. To realize the low thermal conductivity required from a 250 mK base temperature, we developed new bolometer leg designs. We will present the relevant measured detector parameters: G, Tc, Rn, Psat , and spectral bands, and noise spectra. We achieved a per bolometer NEP including all noise components of 2.07E-17 W/sqrt(Hz), including an anticipated photon noise level 1.54E-17 W/sqrt(Hz).

description: We study numerically the properties of local low-energy excitations in the two-dimensional Ising spin glass. Given the ground state, we determine the lowest-lying connected cluster of flipped spins containing one given spin, either with a fixed volume, or with a volume constrained to lie in a certain range. Our aim is to understand corrections to the scaling predicted by the droplet picture of spin glasses and to resolve contradictory results reported in the literature for the stiffness exponent. We find no clear trace of corrections to scaling, and the obtained stiffness exponent is in relatively good agreement with standard domain wall calculations.

description: Insights from other behavioral sciences (e.g., psychology, neuroscience) have slowly been infiltrating mainstream economic thought and are now routinely informing the design of programs and policies in multiple domains. The same insights hold promise for designing more effective agri-environmental programs and policies. Motivated by the MINDSPACE categorization of behavioral insights introduced by Dolan et al. (2012), we develop the Ag-E MINDSPACE framework (where “Ag-E” stands for agri-environmental) to organize a review of the experimental literature on behavioral insights within the agri-environmental domain. The mnemonic MINDSPACE categorizes the behavioral impacts of messengers, incentives, norms, defaults, salience, priming, affect, commitments, and ego. Our Ag-E MINDSPACE framework further categorizes these insights as they apply to relevant agri-environmental issues, which are affected by the decisions of producers and consumers. Designed as a practical guide for researchers and an aid to practitioners in deciding which behavioral interventions to embed in their programs, this review summarizes the estimated effect sizes of behavioral interventions that are relevant for agri-environmental applications. We find that, unlike other policy domains, in which one can find dozens of relevant behavioral studies, the agri-environmental domain is characterized by a paucity of behavioral studies that can guide practitioners. Practitioners are thus forced to either (i) assume that results from other domains, which are largely focused on consumer decision-making in contexts such as healthcare, anti-poverty, education, and finance, can be applied to the agri-environmental programs and policies, or (ii) collaborate with researchers to replicate and extend the insights from other domains to important agri-environmental contexts.
Do many-particle neutrino interactions cause a novel coherent effect?

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We investigate whether coherent flavor conversion of neutrinos in a neutrino background is substantially modified by many-body effects, with respect to the conventional one-particle effective description. We study the evolution of a system of interacting neutrino plane waves in a box. Using its equivalence to a system of spins, we determine the character of its behavior completely analytically. We find that, if the neutrinos are initially in flavor eigenstates, no coherent flavor conversion is realized, in agreement with the effective one-particle description. This result does not depend on the size of the neutrino wavepackets and therefore has a general character. The validity of the several important applications of the one-particle formalism is thus confirmed.

Roton-Rotation Coupling of Acetylene in $^4$He

description: Rotational absorption spectra of acetylene in superfluid $^4$He are calculated using a combined correlated basis function-diffusion Monte Carlo method (CBF/DMC) as well as a numerically exact path integral correlation function approach (PICF). Both approaches predict anomalously large distortion constants in addition to reduced rotational constants, and the higher rotational excitations are seen to be accompanied by an additional peak and absorption band. The CBF analysis shows that these phenomena are due to strong coupling of the higher rotational states with the roton and maxon excitations of $^4$He, and the assocated divergence of the helium density of states in this region.

description: The free riding incentive that exists in public good provision has been a major obstacle to establishing markets or payment incentives for ecosystem services. The use of monetary incentives to induce private provision of public goods has gained increasing support, including from the USDA Office of Environmental Markets, to help to market ecosystem services provided by alternative farmland management practices. Using a series of lab experiments and a pilot field experiment, we explore new ways to raise money from individuals to pay farmers for alternative management practices. In our proposed mechanisms, individuals receive an assurance contract that offers qualified contributors an assurance payment as compensation in the event that total contributions fail to achieve the threshold needed to fund the public good. Contributors qualify by contracting to support provision with a minimum contribution. Our public good involves delaying the harvest of a ten-acre hayfield to allow grassland birds to nest successfully. Evidence from lab experiments shows that the provision probability, consumer surplus, and social welfare significantly increase when the assurance contract is present, while the producer surplus suffers from a slight decrease. Consistent with the lab experiment, our pilot field experiment shows that a higher assurance payment may reduce individual contribution amounts. Our proximate motivation is to support bird habitat provided by farmland, but our approach contributes to the private provision of ecosystem services and other types of public goods in general.

description: Food retail has been in continuous evolution for the past century, both in developing and developed countries: from local traditional stores to supermarkets to e-commerce. In this paper we analyze the evolution of food retail by building a store choice equilibrium model and provide an illustrated discussion. The patterns in retail in any given time and place of different types of stores (such as traditional shops, supermarkets, and online e-commerce) depend on two main factors. The first are consumers’ characteristics such as income, tastes, and travel costs of going to different stores and/or shipping costs if purchasing online. The second are the stores’ cost structures, which include item costs from upstream producers, the costs of procurement supply chains (beyond the cost of the item) for perishable items, and the costs of in-store storage. We show under what conditions in equilibrium the different retail types exist and which can become dominant, and what types of goods (dry packaged foods versus perishables) are distributed by what type of retailers.

description: U.S. competitiveness with regard to agricultural commodities has been of major interest recently because of the declining U.S. share in world agricultural trade. Competitiveness, defined as the ability of a country to achieve a market share, is determined by a number of factors which affect the excess supply and excess demand conditions of exporters and importers, respectively. On the supply side, this study deals with the costs involved in producing and marketing maize, wheat and soybeans by various middle-income and high-income countries. Private economic costs are used as reported by each country and reflect natural endowments and technology levels as well as specific government policies. Production costs, representing farmer experience over several years, and costs of marketing are adjusted for inflation and converted to dollar equivalents at mid-1986 exchange rates.

description: An observable sensitive to the chiral magnetic wave (CMW) is the charge asymmetry dependence of the $π^{-}$ and $π^{+}$ anisotropic flow difference, $Δv_{n}(A_{\rm ch})$. We show that, due to non-flow correlations, the flow measurements by the Q-cumulant method using all charged particles as reference introduce a trivial linear term to $Δv_{n}(A_{\rm ch})$. The trivial slope contribution to the triangle flow difference $Δv_{3}(A_{\rm ch})$ can be negative if the non-flow is dominated by back-to-back pairs. This can explain the observed negative $Δv_{3}(A_{\rm ch})$ slope in the preliminary STAR data. We further find that the non-flow correlations give rise to additional backgrounds to the slope of $Δv_{2}(A_{\rm ch})$ from the competition among different pion sources and from the larger multiplicity dilution to $π^{+}$ ($π^{-}$) at positive (negative) $A_{\rm ch}$.

description: Landed costs of a commodity include production costs and domestic marketing costs (f.o.b. costs) and international freight charges. Production costs are the main component of landed costs and are a major reason for cost advantages (or disadvantages) among exporting countries. F.o.b. costs at real exchange rates averaged over seven years (1980-86) were compared with f.o.b. costs at mid-1986 exchange rates. Results show that the ranking of most countries did not change markedly, except in the case of wheat.
The Globular Cluster Systems of the Early-type Galaxies NGC3379, NGC4406, and NGC4594 and Implications for Galaxy Formation

description: We have investigated the global properties of the globular cluster (GC) systems of three early-type galaxies: the Virgo elliptical NGC4406, the field elliptical NGC3379, and the field S0 galaxy NGC4594. These galaxies were observed as part of a wide-field CCD survey of the GC populations of a sample of normal galaxies beyond the Local Group. Images obtained with the Mosaic detector on the Kitt Peak 4-m provide radial coverage to at least 24', or 70-100 kpc. We use BVR photometry and image classification to select GC candidates and thereby reduce contamination from non-GCs, and HST data to help quantify the contamination that remains. The GC systems of all three galaxies have color distributions with at least two peaks and show modest negative color gradients. The proportions of blue GCs range from 60-70% of the total populations. The GC specific frequency (S_N) of NGC4406 is 3.5+/-0.5, 20% lower than past estimates and nearly identical to S_N for the other Virgo cluster elliptical included in our survey, NGC4472. S_N for NGC3379 and NGC4594 are 1.2+/-0.3 and 2.1+/-0.3, respectively; these are similar to past values but the errors have been reduced by a factor of 2-3. We compare our results to models for the formation of massive galaxies and their GC systems. Of the scenarios we consider, a hierarchical merging picture -- in which metal-poor GCs form at high redshift in protogalactic building blocks and metal-rich GC populations are built up during subsequent gas-rich mergers -- appears most consistent with the data.

An algorithm for tailoring a quadratic lattice with a local squeezed reservoir to stabilize generic chiral states with non-local entanglement

description: We demonstrate a new approach to the generation of custom entangled many-body states through reservoir engineering, using the symmetry properties of bosonic lattice systems coupled to a local squeezed reservoir. We outline an algorithm where, beginning with a desired set of squeezing correlations, one uses the symmetry to constrain the Hamiltonian and find a lattice configuration which stabilizes a pure steady state realizing these correlations. We demonstrate how to use this process to stabilize two unique pure states with non-local correlations that could be useful for quantum information applications. First, we show how drive a square lattice into a product state of entangled quadruplets of sites. Second, using a bisected system, we generate a steady state where local measurements in one half of the lattice herald a pure delocalized state in the second half.

description: This paper investigated the collocational choices used among three Nigerian paramilitary formations in their official discourse activities with a view to ascertaining the contextual meanings of the lexical combinations. Data for the study comprised of 114 collocated items collected by means of participant observation and key informant interview (KII) of randomly selected segments of the personnel while in office environments, patrol duties and muster parades. The findings showed that personnel of the formations used peculiar collocational choices in their formal discourse engagements which revealed a high level of competence that enhanced in-group mutual intelligibility and solidarity among members. Categorically, the collocational choices occurred in eight different combinations: noun-noun, adjective-noun, verb-noun, adverb-adjective, adverb?verb, adverb-noun, noun-adjective and verb-adverb made up of lexically compatible items to advance institutionally modelled meanings. The lexical collocations are prominently two content words in the open class system that showed linguistic appropriateness and stylistic felicities. They are formulated to communicate professional orientation to facilitate the discharge of the security and safety-related statutory duties of the agencies. Keywords: Collocational choices, Lexical collocations, Discourse activities, Paramilitary Agencies, Paramilitary language, Nigeria
Kosterlitz-Thouless transition on the worldsheet of the QCD string

description: We investigate the properties of the QCD string in the Euclidean SU(N) pure gauge theory when the space-time dimensions transverse to it are periodic. We propose a generalisation of the Luscher-Weisz effective string action for the flux-tube energy levels at finite L_perp. As the size of one transverse dimension is varied, we predict a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition of the worldsheet field theory driven by vortices, after which the periodic component of the worldsheet displacement vector develops a mass gap and the effective central charge drops by one unit. The universal properties of the transition are emphasized.

description: We suggest that superbursts from some low mass X-ray binaries may be due to breaking and re-formation of diquark pairs, on the surface of realistic strange stars. Diquarks are expected to break up due to the explosion and shock of the thermonuclear process. The subsequent production of copious diquark pairing may produce sufficient energy to produce the superbursts.

description: The distribution functions of the codon usage probabilities, computed over all the available GenBank data, for 40 eukaryotic biological species and 5 chloroplasts, do not follow a Zipf law, but are best fitted by the sum of a constant, an exponential and a linear function in the rank of usage. For mitochondriae the analysis is not conclusive. A quantum-mechanics-inspired model is proposed to describe the observed behaviour. These functions are characterized by parameters that strongly depend on the total GC content of the coding regions of biological species. It is predicted that the codon usage is the same in all exonic genes with the same GC content. The Shannon entropy for codons, also strongly depending on the exonic GC content, is computed.

description: Branches of cosmic inflationary models, such as slow-roll inflation, predict a background of primordial gravitational waves that imprints a unique odd-parity B-mode pattern in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at amplitudes that are within experimental reach. The BICEP/Keck (BK) experiment targets this primordial signature, the amplitude of which is parameterized by the tensor-to-scalar ratio r, by observing the polarized microwave sky through the exceptionally clean and stable atmosphere at the South Pole. B-mode measurements require an instrument with exquisite sensitivity, tight control of systematics, and wide frequency coverage to disentangle the primordial signal from the Galactic foregrounds. BICEP Array represents the most recent stage of the BK program, and comprises four BICEP3-class receivers observing at 30/40, 95, 150 and 220/270 GHz. The 30/40 GHz receiver will be deployed at the South Pole during the 2019/2020 austral summer. After 3 full years of observations with 30,000+ detectors, BICEP Array will measure primordial gravitational waves to a precision $σ(r)$ between 0.002 and 0.004, depending on foreground complexity and the degree of lensing removal. In this paper we give an overview of the instrument, highlighting the design features in terms of cryogenics, magnetic shielding, detectors and readout architecture as well as reporting on the integration and tests that are ongoing with the first receiver at 30/40 GHz.

Melanization in response to wounding is ancestral in arthropods and conserved in albino cave species

description: Many species adapted to aphotic subterranean habitats have lost all body pigmentation. Yet, melanization is an important component of wound healing in arthropods. We amputated appendages in a variety of cave-adapted and surface-dwelling arthropods. A dark clot formed at the site of injury in most species tested, including even albino cave-adapted species. The dark coloration of the clots was due to melanin deposition. The speed of wound melanization was uncorrelated with a difference in metabolic rate between surface and cave populations of an amphipod. The chelicerate Limulus polyphemus, all isopod crustaceans tested, and the cave shrimp Troglocaris anophthalmus did not melanize wounds. The loss of wound melanization in T. anophthalmus was an apomorphy associated with adaptation to subterranean habitats, but in isopods it appeared to be a symplesiomorphy unrelated to colonization of subterranean habitats. We conclude that wound melanization i) is an important part of innate immunity because it was present in all major arthropod lineages, ii) is retained in most albino cave species, and iii) has been lost several times during arthropod evolution, indicating melanization is not an indispensable component of wound healing in arthropods.
Constraining neutrino magnetic moment with solar and reactor neutrino data

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We use solar neutrino data to derive stringent bounds on Majorana neutrino transition moments (TMs). Such moments, if present, would contribute to the neutrino-electron scattering cross section and hence alter the signal observed in Super-Kamiokande. Using the latest solar neutrino data, combined with the results of the reactor experiment KamLAND, we perform a simultaneous fit of the oscillation parameters and TMs. Furthermore, we include data from the reactor experiments Rovno, TEXONO and MUNU in our analysis, improving significantly the current constraints on TMs. A comparison with previous works shows that our bounds are the strongest and most general results presented up to now. Finally, we perform a simulation of the future Borexino experiment and show that it will improve the bounds from today's data by order of magnitude.

Quantum Phase Transitions in the One-Dimensional S=1 Spin-Orbital Model: Implications for Cubic Vanadates

description: We investigate ground-state properties and quantum phase transitions in the one-dimensional S=1 spin-orbital model relevant to cubic vanadates. Using the density matrix renormalization group, we compute the ground-state energy, the magnetization and the correlation functions for different values of the Hund's coupling $J_H$ and the external magnetic field. It is found that the magnetization jumps at a certain critical field, which is a hallmark of the field-induced first-order phase transition. The phase transition driven by $J_H$ is also of first order. We also consider how the lattice-induced ferro-type interaction between orbitals modifies the phase diagram, and discuss the results in a context of the first-order phase transition observed in YVO$_3$ at 77K.

description: Although research has long established that interaction with the natural environment is associated with better overall health and well-being outcomes, the Western model mainly focuses on treating symptoms. In Aotearoa/New Zealand, the Indigenous Māori have long demonstrated significantly more negative health outcomes than non-Māori. Little research has examined the causes compared to Western populations or the role of the natural environment in health outcomes for Māori. An exploration of rongoā Māori (traditional healing system) was conducted to ascertain the importance of landscape in the process of healing. Eight rongoā healers or practitioners took part in semi-structured narrative interviews from June to November 2020. Transcribed interviews were analysed using an interpretative phenomenological analysis and Kaupapa Māori techniques. The findings show how rongoā is underpinned by a complex set of cultural values and beliefs, drawing from the connection to wairua (spirit), tinana (body), tikanga and whakaora (customs and healing), rākau (plants), whenua (landscape) and whānau (family). Incorporating such constructs into the landscape can foster our understanding of health and well-being and its implications for conceptualising therapeutic environments and a culturally appropriate model of care for Māori and non-Māori communities.

Denote $m=\lfloor n^α\rfloor, 0< α< 1,$ and $ k=\lfloor n/m \rfloor,$ where $\lfloor a \rfloor$ stands for the integer part of $a.$ Set $S_{j}^\circ = \sum_{i=1}^m X_{m(j-1)+i}, 1\leq j \leq k,$ and $ (V_k^\circ)^2 = \sum_{j=1}^k (S_{j}^\circ)^2.$ We prove a Cramér type moderate deviation expansion for $\mathbb{P}( \sum_{j=1}^k S_{j}^\circ /V_k^\circ \geq x)$ as $n\to \infty.$ Applications to mixing type sequences, contracting Markov chains, expanding maps and confidence intervals are discussed.

description: Стаття присвячена дослідженню особливостей зустрічних договірних зобов'язань, що виникають  у цифровому сегменті вітчизняного цивільного обороту. З розвитком сучасних діджитал-технологій та появою нових категорій цифрових об'єктів цивільних прав виникає необхідність належного правового регулювання цивільних відносин у цій сфері. Відтак актуалізується адаптація усталених цивільно-правових конструкцій до умов функціонування цифрового середовища. У статті аналізується юридична природа такого нового  вида  об'єктів цивільних прав як цифрові речі, розглядаються особливості їхнього правового режиму та договірні засади забезпечення їх оборотоздатності відповідно до чинного цивільного законодавства України. Досліджено механізми зустрічного виконання цивільних зобов'язань на прикладі смарт-контрактів, які є важливим цивільно-правовим інструментом регулювання приватних відносин у вітчизняному цифровому сегменті цивільного обороту. Проаналізовано інші приватно-правові договірні  механізми цивільно-правового регулювання зустрічних зобов'язальних відносин у цифровому середовищі, що  в ідеалі повинні забезпечувати безперешкодність здійснення належних учасникам цивільного обороту  суб'єктивних цивільних  прав та врахування їх законних інтересів.
