description: Gain-dissipative platforms consisting of lasers, optical parametric oscillators and nonequilibrium condensates operating at the condensation/coherence threshold have been recently proposed as efficient analog simulators of 2-local spin Hamiltonians with continuous or discrete degrees of freedom. We show that nonequilibrium condensates above the threshold arranged in an interacting network may realise k-local Hamiltonians with k>2 and lead to nontrivial phase configurations. The principle of the operation of such a system lays the ground for physics-inspired computing and the new efficient methods for finding solutions to the higher order binary optimization problems. We show how to facilitate the search for the global solution by invoking complex couplings in the system and demonstrate the efficiency of the method on tensors with million entries. This approach offers a highly flexible new kind of computation based on gain-dissipative simulators with complex coupling switching. g.

description: Water scarcity is a critical environmental issue worldwide, especially in arid and semiarid regions. In those regions, climate change projections suggest further reductions in freshwater supplies and increases of the recurrence, longevity and intensity of drought events. At present, one important question for policy debate is the identification of water management policies that could address the mounting water scarcity problems. Suitable policies should improve economic efficiency, achieve environmental sustainability, and meet equity needs. This paper applies an integrated hydro-economic model that links a reduced form hydrological component, with economic and environmental components to such issues. The model is used to make a direct comparison of three water management alternatives, water markets, water pricing and institutional policies, based on their economic, environmental and equity outcomes. The analysis is performed in the Jucar Basin of Spain, which is a good natural experiment for studying the policies to confront water scarcity and climate change. Results indicate that both institutional and water market policies are good instruments to smooth the economic damage costs of droughts, achieving almost the same social benefits. However, the environmental effects of water markets are worrying. Another important finding is that water pricing is the worst policy option not only in terms of private and environmental benefits but also in terms of equity.

description: We apply a new general method of anholonomic frames with associated nonlinear connection structure to construct new classes of exact solutions of Einstein-Dirac equations in five dimensional (5D)gravity. Such solutions are parametrized by off-diagonal metrics in coordinate (holonomic) bases, or, equivalently, by diagonal metrics given with respect to some anholonomic frames (pentads, or funfbiends, satisfing corresponding constraint relations). We consider two possibilities of generalization of the Taub NUT metric in order to obtain vacuum solutions of 5D Einsitein equations with effective renormalization of constants having distinguished anisotropies on an angular parameter or on extra dimension coordinate. The constructions are extended to solutions describing self-consistent propagations of 3D Dirac wave packets in 5D anisotropic Taub NUT spacetimes. We show that such anisotropic configurations of spinor matter can induce gravitational 3D solitons being solutions of Kadomtsev-Petviashvili or of sine-Gordon equations.

description: This paper is part of a program to understand the parameter spaces of dynamical systems generated by meromorphic functions with finitely many singular values. We give a full description of the parameter space for a specific family based on the exponential function that has precisely two finite asymptotic values and one attracting fixed point. It represents a step beyond the previous work in [GK] on degree 2 rational functions with analogous constraints: two critical values and an attracting fixed point. What is interesting and promising for pushing the general program even further, is that, despite the presence of the essential singularity, our new functions exhibit a dynamic structure as similar as one could hope to the rational case, and that the philosophy of the techniques used in the rational case could be adapted.

description: The deuterium fractionation of water can serve as a tracer for the chemical and physical evolution of water during star formation and can constrain the origin of water in Solar System bodies. We determine the HDO/H$_2$O ratio in the inner warm gas toward three low-mass Class 0 protostars selected to be in isolated cores, i.e., not associated with any cloud complexes. Previous sources for which the HDO/H$_2$O ratio have been established were all part of larger star-forming complexes. Targeting these isolated protostars allows comparison of the water chemistry in isolated and clustered regions to determine the influence of local cloud environment. We present ALMA observations of the HDO $3_{1,2}$-$2_{2,1}$ and $2_{1,1}$-$2_{1,2}$ transitions at 225.897 GHz and 241.562 GHz along with the H$_2^{18}$O $3_{1,3}$-$2_{2,0}$ transition at 203.407 GHz. The high angular resolution (0\farcs3-1\farcs3) allow the study of the inner warm envelope gas. Model-independent estimates for the HDO/H$_2$O ratios are obtained and compared with previous determinations in the warm gas toward low-mass protostars. We detect the targeted water transitions toward the three sources with S/N > 5. We determine the HDO/H$_2$O ratio toward L483, B335 and BHR71-IRS1 to be ($2.2\pm0.4$)$\times 10^{-3}$, ($1.7\pm0.3$)$\times 10^{-3}$, and ($1.8\pm0.4$)$\times 10^{-3}$, respectively, assuming $T_\mathrm{ex} = 124$ K. The degree of water deuteration of these isolated protostars are a factor of 2-4 higher relative to Class 0 protostars that are members of known nearby clustered star-forming regions. The results indicate that the water deuterium fractionation is influenced by the local cloud environment. This effect can be explained by variations in either collapse timescales or temperatures, which depends on local cloud dynamics and could provide a new method to decipher the history of young stars.

description: We examine whether the $O(a)$ improved quark action on anisotropic lattices can be used as a framework for the heavy quark, which enables precision computation of matrix elements of heavy-light mesons. To this end, it is crucial to verify that a mass independent and nonperturbative tuning of the parameters is possible. As a first step, we observe the dispersion relation of heavy-light mesons on a quenched lattice using the action which is nonperturbatively tuned only for the leading terms. On a lattice with the spatial cutoff $a_σ^{-1} \simeq$ 1.6 GeV and the anisotropy $ξ=4$, the relativity relation holds within 2% accuracy in the quark mass region $a_σm_Q \leq 1.2$ with the bare anisotropy parameter tuned for the massless quark. We also apply the action to a calculation of heavy-light decay constants in the charm quark mass region.

description: Small-scale, cyclic, transverse motions of plasma threads are usually seen in solar prominences, which are often interpreted as magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. Here, we observed small-scale decayless transverse oscillations in a quiescent prominence, and they appear to be omnipresent. The oscillatory periods of the emission intensity and a proxy for the line-of-sight Doppler shift are about half period of the displacement oscillations. This feature agrees well with the fast kink-mode waves in a flux tube. All the moving threads oscillate transversally spatially in phase and exhibit no significant damping throughout the visible segments, indicating that the fast kink MHD waves are persistently powered and ongoing dissipating energy is transferred to the ambient plasma in the quiet corona. However, our calculations suggest that the energy taken by the fast kink MHD waves alone can not support the coronal heating on the quiet Sun.

description: Many physical theories, including notably string theory, require non-abelian higher gauge fields defining higher holonomy. Previous approaches to such higher connections on categorified principal bundles require these to be fake flat. This condition, however, renders them locally gauge equivalent to connections on abelian gerbes. For particular higher gauge groups, for example 2-group models of the string group, this limitation can be overcome by generalizing the notion of higher connection. Starting from this observation, we define a corresponding generalized higher holonomy functor which is free from the fake flatness condition, leading to a truly non-abelian parallel transport.

description: We analyse the CP asymmetry of the B -> phi K_S process in general supersymmetric models. In the framework of the mass insertion approximation, we derive model independent limits for the mixing CP asymmetry. We show that chromomagnetic type of operator may play an important role in accounting for the deviation of the mixing CP asymmetry between B -> phi K_S and B -> J/psi K_S processes observed by Belle and BaBar experiments. A possible correlation between the direct and mixing CP asymmetry is also discussed. Finally, we apply our result in minimal supergravity model and supersymmetric models with non-universal soft terms.

description: Magic numbers predicted by a 3-dimensional q-deformed harmonic oscillator with Uq(3)>SOq(3) symmetry are compared to experimental data for atomic clusters of alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs), noble metals (Cu, Ag, Au), divalent metals (Zn, Cd), and trivalent metals (Al, In), as well as to theoretical predictions of jellium models, Woods-Saxon and wine bottle potentials, and to the classification scheme using the 3n+l pseudo quantum number. In alkali metal clusters and noble metal clusters the 3-dimensional q-deformed harmonic oscillator correctly predicts all experimentally observed magic numbers up to 1500 (which is the expected limit of validity for theories based on the filling of electronic shells), while in addition it gives satisfactory results for the magic numbers of clusters of divalent metals and trivalent metals, thus indicating that Uq(3), which is a nonlinear extension of the U(3) symmetry of the spherical (3-dimensional isotropic) harmonic oscillator, is a good candidate for being the symmetry of systems of several metal clusters. The Taylor expansions of angular momentum dependent potentials approximately producing the same spectrum as the 3-dimensional q-deformed harmonic oscillator are found to be similar to the Taylor expansions of the symmetrized Woods-Saxon and wine-bottle symmetrized Woods-Saxon potentials, which are known to provide successful fits of the Ekardt potentials.

description: Strange stars calculated from a realistic equation of state (EOS), that incorporate chiral symmetry restoration as well as deconfinement at high density show compact objects in the mass radius curve. We compare our calculations of incompressibility for this EOS with that of nuclear matter. One of the nuclear matter EOS has a continuous transition to ud-matter at about five times normal density. Another nuclear matter EOS incorporates density dependent coupling constants. From a look at the consequent velocity of sound, it is found that the transition to ud-matter seems necessary.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a phase-separating binary fluid, containing colloidal dumbbells anchored to the fluid-fluid interface. Extensive Lattice Boltzmann-Immersed Boundary method simulations reveal that the presence of soft dumbbells can significantly affect the curvature dynamics of the interface between phase-separating fluids, even though the coarsening dynamics is left nearly unchanged. In addition, our results show that the curvature dynamics exhibits distinct non-local effects, which might be exploited for the design of new soft mesoscale materials. We point out that the inspection of the statistical dynamics of the curvature can disclose new insights into local inhomogeneities of the binary fluid configuration, as a function of the volume fraction and aspect ratio of the dumbbells.

description: Stellar mass and metallicity are factors that affect the neutron-capture process. Due to this, the enrichment of the ISM and the abundance of neutron-capture elements vary with time, making them suitable probes for the Galactic chemical evolution. In this work we make a differential comparison of neutron-capture element abundances determined in the local disk(s) and the bulge, focusing on minimising possible systematic effects in the analysis, with the aim of finding possible differences/similarities between the populations. Abundances are determined for Zr, La, Ce and Eu in 45 bulge giants and 291 local disk giants, from high-resolution optical spectra. The abundances are determined by fitting synthetic spectra using the SME-code. The disk sample is separated into thin/thick disk components using a combination of abundances and kinematics. We find flat Zr, La, Ce trends in the bulge, with a $\sim 0.1$ dex higher La abundance compared with the disk, possibly indicating a higher s-process contribution for La in the bulge. [Eu/Fe] decreases with increasing [Fe/H], with a plateau at around [Fe/H] $\sim -0.4$, pointing at similar enrichment as $α$-elements in all populations. We find that the r-process dominated the neutron-capture production at early times both in the disks and bulge. [La/Eu] for the bulge are systematically higher than the thick disk, pointing to either a) a different amount of SN II or b) a different contribution of the s-process in the two populations. Considering [(La+Ce)/Zr], the bulge and the thick disk follow each other closely, suggesting a similar ratio of high/low mass asymptotic giant branch-stars.

description: As a complement to the analysis of the baseline scenario used for the European Commission agricultural market outlook, a first alternative scenario envisaging a lower meat consumption trend have been elaborated. It shows that a decrease in per capita meat consumption in developed countries and selected Latin American countries would impact on the world and EU meat markets, and consequently on markets of crops used as feed, prices being under pressure despite the continuing increase of meat consumption in the rest of the world. In a second scenario where the decrease of meat consumption is compensated by an increase intake of plant products and certain other animal products such as dairy or eggs, the impact on markets other than the meat ones is mitigated, although the beef meat sector is even more affected by an increase of dairy products outputs. This possible evolution would be a challenge for farmers, who can rely for this on the CAP policy tools, in their diverse implementation among Member States

Εδώ γίνεται σε βάθος ανάλυση των δεδομένων της απογραφής πληθυσμού 2011 της ΕΛΣΤΑΤ σε συσχέτιση και με αποτελέσματα διερευνήσεων που αφορούν στην αμέσως προηγούμενη δεκαετία. Επισημαίνεται ότι η παραπάνω ανάλυση επιχειρεί να εξηγήσει τον «πυρήνα» της όλης διαδικασίας χωρικού κοινωνικού αποκλεισμού της περιοχής των Πομάκων της Ξάνθης. Απαιτείται, όμως, συμπληρωματικά, η προσέγγιση του θρησκεύματος και των πολιτιστικών χαρακτηριστικών της μειονοτικής ομάδας, όπως επίσης των σχετικών δημόσιων πολιτικών για αυτήν, ώστε να καταλήξουμε σε ένα ευρύτερο ερμηνευτικό σχήμα του χωρικού κοινωνικού αποκλεισμού των Πομάκων της Ξάνθης. Όπως διαπιστώνεται με πολύ μεγάλη σαφήνεια, ο Δ. Μύκης / περιοχή των Πομάκων της Ξάνθης έχει ένα κοινωνικό χωρικό πρότυπο εξαιρετικά διακριτό από εκείνο της ευρύτερης περιοχής της, το οποίο δεν είναι «ουδέτερο» κοινωνικά, αλλά αντίθετα πολύ φορτισμένο με εμπόδια / αποκλεισμούς που θέτει στους Πομάκους για την ένταξή τους στην αγορά εργασίας και στην κοινωνική ζωή.

description: Unlike the situation with gain and phase margins in robust stabilization, the problem to determine an exact maximum delay margin is still an open problem, although extensive work has been done to establish upper and lower bounds. The problem is that the corresponding constraints in the Nyquist plot are frequency dependent, and encircling the point $s=-1$ has to be done at sufficiently low frequencies, as the possibility to do so closes at higher frequencies. In this paper we present a new method for determining a sharper lower bound by introducing a frequency-dependent shift. The problem of finding such a bound simultaneously with gain and phase margin constraints is also considered. In all these problems we take an analytic interpolation approach.

description: The common agricultural policy affects a broad range of issues on farms. Their productivity is no exception and CAP can affect it with different intensities and in different directions. CAP was introduced in the Slovak Republic after its accession to the EU in 2004. From that moment there was a significant increase in number of farms receiving subsidies. The aim of this paper was therefore to analyze the impact of these changes on the development of productivity and its components on the Slovak farms. The research consisted of two stages. The first stage we got a detailed picture of the evolving nature of the performance of Slovak crop and livestock farms in the period 2000-2012 by applying two approaches to evaluation of change in total factor productivity and its components, namely Malmquist Productivity Indices and Luenberger Productivity Indicators. We found that on average both types of farms increased their total factor productivity during the specified period. The driving force behind this development was the technological progress, the slowing factor was deterioration of technical efficiency of farms. By way of further decomposition of Malmquist indices we have also revealed Hicks-non-neutral technical change in the character of Slovak agriculture since the industry increasingly opted for automation and mechanization of production and mitigated use of the workforce. In the second stage we applied Random Effect Models for analyzing panel data to examine the effects of accession to the EU on the development of performance indicators of Slovak farms and input bias of technical change. We found that dependence on farm subsidy policy was significantly higher after joining the Union, while total factor productivity after 2004 developed worse for both types of farms. The effect of changes in the share of total subsidies received on total farm income was the net effect of investment induced productivity growth and the negative effect of efficiency loss. The first prevailed in the case of crop and the second one in the case of livestock farms.

description: In many African countries, the crop commercialization is produced along a supply chain where farmers interact with intermediaries and traders. Using detailed panel data from Uganda 2009-12 (LSMS-ISA), this article examines whether farmer’s participation (inside or outside) and position (downstream and upstream) to maize value supply chain (VC) affect their food security. The paper finds some evidence that farmers’ food consumption, both in terms of level and variability, is affected by selling maize inside the VC. The results are suggestive that the gain from participation is driven by selling maize upstream in the VC.

description: The fusion rule gives the dimensions of spaces of conformal blocks in the WZW theory. We prove a dimension formula similar to the fusion rulefor spaces of coinvariants of affine Lie algebras g^. An equivalence of filtered spaces is established between spaces of coinvariants of two objects: highest weight g^-modules and tensor products of finite-dimensional evaluation representations of g\otimes\C[t]. In the sl_2 case we prove that their associated graded spaces are isomorphic to the spaces of coinvariants of fusion products, and that their Hilbert polynomials are the level-restricted Kostka polynomials.

description: Over the last decades, food waste has generated an immense amounts across the food life cycle, determining serious environmental, social and economic issues. Reducing the amount of food waste is a key element in developing a sustainable food system.The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between food waste and belief, attitudes and behaviours at the household level so exploring its possible drivers among Italian consumers: how people could reduce or avoid the amount of food waste is the main step for addressing the consumer behaviour and for planning shopping routines. In effect avoidable food waste represents the majority of food waste generated at the household level. The disposal of food is the final step in the food provisioning process (Munro, 1995) entailing a series of food-related behaviours from purchasing food to preparing and eating it (Jensen et al., 2012). The Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen,1991) helps to understanding how the people actions can be modified linking beliefs and behaviour; this theory is our starting point to predict household decisions in order to avoid, to minimize or to recycle waste (Biswa et al., 2000; Knussen et al., 2004) as well as to improve food-related behaviours (Conner & Armitage, 2002). To this end, an on-line survey was carried out via social networks and e-mail. A focus group and a pilot test with 12 Italian consumers were conducted to support the questionnaire design. 256 were respondents. Results are in line with the studies on this research topics. The current study focuses on Italian consumers, but the basic concepts in our framework should be replicable and so applicable to any society. The policy implications are related to the crucial importance that new models to address behaviour consumer have to be identified in order to change eating habits and attitudes.

 Thallosia Oldroyd, 1970: 315. Type species: Thallosia congoicola Oldroyd, 1970, by original designation. Oldroyd 1980: 348; Tsacas & Artigas 1994.
 Diagnosis. In addition to the characters in the key, Thallosia is further distinguished sparse facial vestiture, and the sparse, short bristles below the proboscis.
 Distribution. Subsaharan Africa (NE Democratic Republic of Congo, Gambia). Adults were collected at lights, malaise traps and in savanna woodlands during August and September.
 Remarks. Thallosia, with only one species, remain unchanged since it was originally described. Tsacas & Artigas (1994) reviewed genus and provided the first illustrations of the terminalia of the sexes. The genus was based upon two specimens from equatorial Africa (Fig. 107). There has been no new records of the species until Londt [In Press] confirmed the presence of the species in Gambia.

description: Shuttling protocols designed by shortcut-to-adiabaticity techniques may suffer from perturbations and imperfect implementations. We study the motional excitation of a single ion shuttled in harmonic traps with time-dependent, "systematic" oscillatory perturbations around the nominal parameters. These elementary perturbations could form any other by superposition. Robust shuttling strategies are proposed and compared, and optimizations are performed.

description: This paper presents an evaluation of the provision of Ecosystem Services. The overall aim is to contribute in understanding the value and improving valuation methods for ecosystem, in an attempt to provide an instrument that contributes to closing the gap between the ES concept, regional planning and agricultural policies. The analysis is based on the design of a framework suitable to be translated in a multicriteria evaluation process, followed by its empirical testing. It focuses on the different categories of the ES trying a set of indicators that is non-overlapping and without redundancy, and assessing different aspects of ES: the capacity of ecosystems to provide services, changes in the provision of ES, and benefits thus derived. The framework is applied in the 26 municipalities of the Province of Ferrara. To develop an applicable framework, we have chosen a set of ES from the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. The focus of this paper is the evaluation of the provision of ecosystem services that are currently provided by agricultural areas that evidently support provisioning services and are appreciated for their recreational value explaining their inclusion under recreation services. While existing ecosystem service metrics and indicators have many gaps and limitations, applying those existing indicators in diverse policy processes and further assessments should be a priority.

description: The principal difficulty in large magnetic systems having an extensive flux return yoke is to characterize the magnetic flux distribution in the yoke steel blocks. Continuous measurements of the magnetic flux density in the return yoke are not possible and the usual practice uses software modelling of the magnetic system with special 3D computer programs. The flux return yoke of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) magnet encloses a 3.8 T superconducting solenoid with a 6-m-diameter by 12.5-m-length free bore and consists of five dodecagonal three-layered barrel wheels around the coil and four endcap disks at each end. The yoke steel blocks serve as the absorber plates of the muon detection system. A TOSCA 3D model of the CMS magnet has been developed to describe the magnetic field outside of the solenoid volume, which was measured with a field-mapping machine. To verify the magnetic flux distribution calculated in the yoke steel blocks, direct measurements of the magnetic flux density with 22 flux loops installed in selected regions of the yoke were performed during the CMS magnet test in 2006 when four "fast" discharges of the CMS coil were triggered manually to test the magnet protection system. No fast discharge of the CMS magnet from its operational current of 18.2 kA, which corresponds to a central magnetic flux density of 3.8 T, has been performed that time. For the first time, in this paper we present measurements of the magnetic flux density in the steel blocks of the return yoke based on the several standard linear discharges of the CMS magnet from the operational magnet current of 18.2 kA. To provide these measurements, the voltages induced in the flux loops have been measured with six 16-bit DAQ modules and integrated offline over time. The results of the measurements during magnet linear ramps performed with a current rate as low as 1-1.5 A/s are presented and discussed.

String breaking with Wilson loops?

description: A convincing, uncontroversial observation of string breaking, when the static potential is extracted from Wilson loops only, is still missing. This failure can be understood if the overlap of the Wilson loop with the broken string is exponentially small. In that case, the broken string ground state will only be seen if the Wilson loop is long enough. Our preliminary results show string breaking in the context of the 3d SU(2) adjoint static potential, using the Lüscher-Weisz exponential variance reduction approach. As a by-product, we measure the fundamental SU(2) static potential with improved accuracy and see clear deviations from Casimir scaling.
