description: In general, the tensor product, $A\otimes B$, of the lattices A and B with zero is not a lattice (it is only a join-semilattice with zero). If $A \otimes B$ is a capped tensor product, then $A \otimes B$ is a lattice (the converse is not known). In this paper, we investigate lattices A with zero enjoying the property that $A \otimes B$ is a capped tensor product, for every lattice B with zero; we shall call such lattices amenable. The ﬁrst author introduced in 1966 the concept of a sharply transferable lattice. In 1972, H. Gaskill [5] deﬁned, similarly, sharply transferable semilattices, and characterized them by a very eﬀective condition (T). We prove that a ﬁnite lattice A is amenable iff it is sharply transferable as a join-semilattice. For a general lattice A with zero, we obtain the result: A is amenable iff A is locally ﬁnite and every ﬁnite sublattice of A is transferable as a join-semilattice. This yields, for example, that a ﬁnite lattice A is amenable iff $A\otimes F(3)$ is a lattice iff A satisﬁes (T), with respect to $\jj$. In particular, $M3 \otimes F(3)$ is not a lattice. This solves a problem raised by R. W. Quackenbush in 1985 whether the tensor product of lattices with zero is always a lattice.

2D models for MHD flows

description: A new model is proposed for low $Rm$ MHD flows which remain turbulent even in the presence of a magnetic field. These flows minimize the Joule dissipation because of their tendency to become two-dimensional and, therefore to suppress all induction effects. However, some small three-dimensional effects, due to inertia and to the electric coupling between the core flow and the Hartmann layers, are present even within the core flow. This new model, which may be seen as an improvement of the Sommeria-Moreau 2D model, introduces this three-dimensionality as a small perturbation. It yields an equation for the average velocity over the magnetic field lines, whose solution agrees well with available measurements performed on isolated vortices.

description: A quantum random-number generator (QRNG) can theoretically generate unpredictable random numbers with perfect devices and is an ideal and secure source of random numbers for cryptography. However, the practical implementations always contain imperfections, which will greatly influence the randomness of the final output and even open loopholes to eavesdroppers. Recently, Thewes et al. experimentally demonstrated a continuous-variable eavesdropping attack, based on heterodyne detection, on a trusted continuous-variable QRNG in Phys. Rev. A 100, 052318 (2019), yet like in many other practical continuous-variable QRNG studies, they always supposed the local oscillator was stable and ignored its fluctuation which might lead to security threats such as wavelength attack. In this work, based on the theory of the conditional min-entropy, imperfections of the practical security of continuous-variable QRNGs are systematically analyzed, especially the local oscillator fluctuation under imbalanced homodyne detection. Experiments of a practical QRNG based on vacuum fluctuation are demonstrated to show the influence of local oscillator fluctuation on the total measurement noise variances and the practical conditional min-entropy with beam splitters of different transmittances. Moreover, a local oscillator monitoring method is proposed for the practical continuous-variable QRNG, which can be used to calibrate the practical conditional min-entropy.

description: Matrix elements of irreducible representations of the Lorentz group are calculated on the basis of complex angular momentum. It is shown that Laplace-Beltrami operators, defined in this basis, give rise to Fuchsian differential equations. An explicit form of the matrix elements of the Lorentz group has been found via the addition theorem for generalized spherical functions. Different expressions of the matrix elements are given in terms of hypergeometric functions both for finite-dimensional and unitary representations of the principal and supplementary series of the Lorentz group.

Year: 1978
Subjects: Livestock Production/Industries

description: This paper demonstrates that multiple-component pricing of milk to farmers is more equitable than butterfat differential pricing because butterfat and nonfat components are not produced in fixed proportions. Conditions are derived for directly calculating producers' multiple-component prices, and for determining the expected relationship between butterfat differential and multiple-component prices. Prices for 274 Oregon producers are calculated under these alternative price regimes. Producers with protein tests less than the pool average are overpaid under butter fat differential pricing and, consequently, experience price declines under multiple-component pricing. Concomitantly, high-test producers are underpaid and experience price increases.

description: Recent discoveries in topological physics hold a promise for disorder-robust quantum systems and technologies. Topological states provide the crucial ingredient of such systems featuring increased robustness to disorder and imperfections. Here, we use an array of superconducting qubits to engineer a one-dimensional topologically nontrivial quantum metamaterial. By performing microwave spectroscopy of the fabricated array, we experimentally observe the spectrum of elementary excitations. We find not only the single-photon topological states but also the bands of exotic bound photon pairs arising due to the inherent anharmonicity of qubits. Furthermore, we detect the signatures of the two-photon bound edge-localized state which hints towards interaction-induced localization in our system. Our work demonstrates an experimental implementation of the topological model with attractive photon-photon interaction in a quantum metamaterial.

description: Based on the AdS/CFT correspondence we study the breaking of the chiral symmetry in QCD using a simple five dimensional model. The model gives definite predictions for the spectrum of vector mesons, their decay constants and interactions as a function of one parameter related to the quark condensate. We calculate the coefficients $L_i$ of the low-energy QCD chiral lagrangian, as well as other physical quantities for the pions. All the predictions are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental data. We also show that they are robust under modifications of the 5D metric in the IR, and that some of them arise as a consequence of the higher-dimensional gauge symmetry. For example, at the tree-level, we find $M_ρ\simeq \sqrt{3} g_{ρππ} F_π$, $F_ρ\simeq \sqrt{3} F_π$ and BR($a_1\to πγ)=0$.

Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: Agricultural protection, especially of the nontariff type, is on the increase despite some recent appearances to the contrary. The forces behind this trend are heavily economic and immediate, relating principally to domestic farm programs. But there are other forces: self-sufficiency policies, social and cultural factors, and national security matters, which are also used to support protection in the political arena and over the long run. It is imperative that the leading industrial countries, with the assistance of leading developing countries, negotiate trade arrangements and agricultural adjustment policies that take advantage of the proven principles of comparative advantage. The alternative might be a trade breakdown similar to that of the 1930s.
Optimal entanglement witnesses for continuous-variable systems

description: This paper is concerned with all tests for continuous-variable entanglement that arise from linear combinations of second moments or variances of canonical coordinates, as they are commonly used in experiments to detect entanglement. All such tests for bi-partite and multi-partite entanglement correspond to hyperplanes in the set of second moments. It is shown that all optimal tests, those that are most robust against imperfections with respect to some figure of merit for a given state, can be constructed from solutions to semi-definite optimization problems. Moreover, we show that for each such test, referred to as entanglement witness based on second moments, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the witness and a stronger product criterion, which amounts to a non-linear witness, based on the same measurements. This generalizes the known product criteria. The presented tests are all applicable also to non-Gaussian states. To provide a service to the community, we present the documentation of two numerical routines, FULLYWIT and MULTIWIT, which have been made publicly available.

description: In this paper we study goodness-of-fit testing of single-index models. The large sample behavior of certain score-type test statistics is investigated. As a by-product, we obtain asymptotically distribution-free maximin tests for a large class of local alternatives. Furthermore, characteristic function based goodness-of-fit tests are proposed which are omnibus and able to detect peak alternatives. Simulation results indicate that the approximation through the limit distribution is acceptable already for moderate sample sizes. Applications to two real data sets are illustrated.

The First High-Resolution Spectra of 1.3 L Subdwarfs

description: We present the first high-resolution (R ~ 31,000) spectra of the cool sdL 2MASS0532, and what was originally identified as an early-type L subdwarf (sdL) LSR1610-0040. Our work, in combination with contemporaneous work by Cushing and Vacca, makes it clear that the latter object is more probably a mid-M dwarf with an unusual composition that gives it some sub-dwarf spectral features. We use the data to derive precise radial velocities for both objects and to estimate space motion; both are consistent with halo kinematics. We measure the projected rotational velocities, revealing very slow rotation for the old sd?M6 object \lsr. \twom exhibits rapid rotation of vsini = 65 +- 15km/s, consistent with the behavior of L dwarfs. This means that the braking time for L dwarfs is extremely long, or that perhaps they never slow down. A detailed comparison of the atomic Rb and Cs lines to spectra of field L dwarfs shows the spectral type \twom is consistent with being mid- to late-L. The Rb I and K I lines of \lsr\ are like an early-L dwarf, but the Cs I line is like a mid-M dwarf. The appearance of the Ca II triplet in absorption in this object is very hard to understand if it is not as least as warm as M6. We explain these effects in a consistent way using a mildly metal-poor mid-M model. M subdwarfs have weak metal-oxides and enhanced metal-hydrides relative to normal M dwarfs. \lsr\ exhibits metal-hydrides like an M dwarf but metal-oxides like a subdwarf. The same explanation that resolves the atomic line discrepancy explains this as well. We identify atomic lines of Ti around 9600 Åand a small contribution of FeH, but we cannot confirm a detection of TiH in the spectra of cool L subdwarfs. High resolution spectroscopy has aided in beginning to understand the complex molecular chemistry in metal-deficient and ultralow-mass objects.

description: As the global drive for digital transformation intensifies, the role of standards development organisations (SDOs) and policymakers becomes more critical than ever.

This webinar presented the latest developments in INSTAR's roadmap, aimed at fostering alignment and collaboration across international standardisation efforts.

 Participants gained insights into how these roadmaps can guide the priorities of SDOs, facilitate policymaking, and enhance engagement with international experts to ensure the global success of emerging technologies.

After a comprehensive introduction by the project coordinator, and a few remarks on the priorities highlighted by the European Commission, there was an introduction to the INSTAR roadmaps followed by a panel discussion with members of our European Task Forces.

This provided deeper insights into the INSTAR ETFs’ roadmap recommendations for SDOs, policymakers, and international standardisation experts to align with global standardisation priorities.

The event offered a thorough overview of INSTAR’s mission, key recommendations from the European Task Forces, and the opportunity to engage with thought leaders who are shaping the future of standardization across sectors.

Whether participants were policymakers, SDO representatives, or experts in international standards, the event provided practical guidance and opportunities to connect with INSTAR’s ongoing efforts.

description: Irrigation water cost data and the value of water in production for the four principal crops grown in the Texas High Plains, at a wide range of product prices, were used to estimate the price per kilowatt-hour of electricity needed to equate net returns from current irrigation practices and dryland production over time. Results indicate that rising energy prices without corresponding rises in product prices could result in energy, rather than water, being the limiting factor in High Plains irrigation.

description: An interesting case of string/black hole transition occurs in two-dimensional non-critical string theory dressed with a compact CFT. In these models the high energy densities of states of perturbative strings and black holes have the same leading behavior when the Hawking temperature of the black hole is equal to the Hagedorn temperature of perturbative strings. We compare the first subleading terms in the black hole and closed string entropies in this setting and argue that the entropy interpolates between these expressions as the energy is varied. We compute the subleading correction to the black hole entropy for a specific simple model.

description: We have observed the short-period dwarf novae BW Scl, BC UMa and SW UMa using the Hubble Space Telescope/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. In all three systems, the white dwarf is the dominant source of far-ultraviolet flux, even though in BC UMa and SW UMa an additional continuum component contributes ~10% and ~20% of the 1400A flux, respectively. Fitting the data with detailed white dwarf model spectra, we determine the effective temperatures to be 14800+-900K (BW Scl), 15200+-1000K (BC UMa), and 13900+-900K (SW UMa). The additional continuum component in BC UMa and SW UMa is equally well described by either a blackbody or a power law, which could be associated with emission from the hot spot or from an optically thin accretion disk (or an optically thin layer on top of a colder optically thick disk), respectively. Modelling the narrow metal lines detected in the STIS spectra results in sub-solar abundances of carbon, oxygen and silicon for all three systems, and also suggests substantial supra-solar abundances of aluminium. The narrow absorption line profiles imply low white dwarf rotation rates, v sin(i)<=300km/s for the three white dwarfs. SW UMa is the only system that shows significant short-term variability in the far-ultraviolet range, which is primarily associated with the observed emission lines.

description: Forward-backward correlations of charged-particle multiplicities in symmetric bins in pseudorapidity (eta) are studied in order to gain insight into the underlying correlation structure of particle production in Au+Au collisions. The PHOBOS detector is used to measure integrated multiplicities in bins defined within eta<3, centered at eta and covering an interval Delta-eta. The variance (sigma^2_C) of a suitably defined forward-backward asymmetry variable is calculated as a function of eta, Delta-eta, and centrality. It is found to be sensitive to short range correlations, and the concept of ``clustering'' is used to interpret comparisons to phenomenological models.

description: A test of quantum mechanics proposed by K. Popper and dealing with two-particle entangled states emitted from a fixed source has been criticized by several authors. Some of them claim that the test becomes inconclusive once all the quantum aspects of the source are considered. Moreover, another criticism states that the predictions attributed to quantum mechanics in Popper's analysis are untenable. We reconsider these criticisms and show that, to a large extend, the `falsifiability' potential of the test remains unaffected.

description: We report a new value of electron $g-2$, or $a_e$, from 891 Feynman diagrams of order $α^4$. The FORTRAN codes of 373 diagrams containing closed electron loops have been verified by at least two independent formulations. For the remaining 518 diagrams, which have no closed lepton loop, verification by a second formulation is not yet attempted because of the enormous amount of additional work required. However, these integrals have structures that allow extensive cross-checking as well as detailed comparison with lower-order diagrams through the renormalization procedure. No algebraic error has been uncovered for them. The numerical evaluation of the entire $α^4$ term by the integration routine VEGAS gives $-1.7283 (35) (α/π)^4$, where the uncertainty is obtained by careful examination of error estimates by VEGAS. This leads to $a_e = 1 159 652 175.86 (0.10) (0.26) (8.48) \times 10^{-12}$, where the uncertainties come from the $α^4$ term, the estimated uncertainty of $α^5$ term, and the inverse fine structure constant, $α^{-1} = 137.036 000 3 (10)$, measured by atom interferometry combined with a frequency comb technique, respectively. The inverse fine structure constant $α^{-1} (a_e)$ derived from the theory and the Seattle measurement of $a_e$ is $137.035 998 83 (51)$.

description: Deciding the amount of neurons during the design of a deep neural network to maximize performance is not intuitive. In this work, we attempt to search for the neuron (filter) configuration of a fixed network architecture that maximizes accuracy. Using iterative pruning methods as a proxy, we parameterize the change of the neuron (filter) number of each layer with respect to the change in parameters, allowing us to efficiently scale an architecture across arbitrary sizes. We also introduce architecture descent which iteratively refines the parameterized function used for model scaling. The combination of both proposed methods is coined as NeuralScale. To prove the efficiency of NeuralScale in terms of parameters, we show empirical simulations on VGG11, MobileNetV2 and ResNet18 using CIFAR10, CIFAR100 and TinyImageNet as benchmark datasets. Our results show an increase in accuracy of 3.04%, 8.56% and 3.41% for VGG11, MobileNetV2 and ResNet18 on CIFAR10, CIFAR100 and TinyImageNet respectively under a parameter-constrained setting (output neurons (filters) of default configuration with scaling factor of 0.25).

description: Federal agencies are generally required to justify the economic value of proposed water resources development projects with benefit-cost analyses. Responsibility for economic analyses lies principally with the proposing agency, under broad policies and procedures guidelines. The economic evaluation of the Garrison Diversion Unit in North Dakota was used as a case study to examine the ability of federal agencies to evaluate their own projects. A consistent tendency to overestimate project benefits and underestimate project costs was found. Revised benefit-cost ratios ranged from 0.44 to 1 to 0.77 to 1, depending on the discount rate employed.

description: Tomographic analysis demonstrates that the polarization state of pairs of photons emitted from a biexciton decay cascade becomes entangled when spectral filtering is applied. The measured density matrix of the photon pair satisfies the Peres criterion for entanglement by more than 3 standard deviations of the experimental uncertainty and violates Bell's inequality. We show that the spectral filtering erases the ``which path'' information contained in the photons color and that the remanent information in the quantum dot degrees of freedom is negligible.

description: Interventions for Work-related Distress Among Paediatric Nurses: A Systematic ReviewObjective To critically appraise the empirical evidence regarding effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for the mitigation of work-related distress (WRD) among nurses working in paediatric settings. Methods A systematic search was performed across six bibliographic databases; a narrative framework for synthesis was employed. Results Seven studies were elicited for review: these evaluated interventions with diverse foci, utilising highly heterogenous measures to evaluate effectiveness. Whilst five of the studies reported statistically significant improvements on measures of WRD, and another a statistically significant increase on a WRD construct within one group of participants, the only RCT reported no significant effects of the intervention. Conclusions Given the infancy of research, heterogeneity and variable quality, specific recommendations are precluded from findings to date. Further research is required to build an evidence-based case to guide policy and resource allocation.Concordance of the SCQ and ADOS in Identifying Autism Symptomatology in Genetic Syndrome GroupsObjective To assess the performance of an autism screening tool, the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) in relation to the more “gold-standard” Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) within genetic syndrome populations, in which social, communication and behavioural difficulties, and levels of intellectual disability, are also commonly present. Methods Using archival data, performance of the SCQ was examined in relation to ADOS classifications in genetic syndrome groups via ROC curve, sensitivity, and specificity analyses. Results At established cut-off the SCQ achieved a sensitivity value of 63.91% and specificity of 61.39%. Analyses by genetic syndrome group suggested uneven test performance, however confidence intervals were wide, with considerable overlap between groups. Conclusions Findings suggested the SCQ may perform less well for ASD associated with genetic syndromes than for idiopathic ASD. This may have implications, both clinical and theoretical, for identifying ASD in these groups.

description: A new field of discrete differential geometry is presently emerging on the border between differential and discrete geometry. Whereas classical differential geometry investigates smooth geometric shapes (such as surfaces), and discrete geometry studies geometric shapes with finite number of elements (such as polyhedra), the discrete differential geometry aims at the development of discrete equivalents of notions and methods of smooth surface theory. Current interest in this field derives not only from its importance in pure mathematics but also from its relevance for other fields like computer graphics. Recent progress in discrete differential geometry has lead, somewhat unexpectedly, to a better understanding of some fundamental structures lying in the basis of the classical differential geometry and of the theory of integrable systems. The goal of this book is to give a systematic presentation of current achievements in this field.

description: Answers questions concerning the photographs and the species from East Point in Timor. Request for literature about the occurrence of Lithothamnia in the northern seas, because she wants to make a small comparison between the tropical Lithothamnion banks and those in the north of Europe. Stanley Gardiner expresses himself in a paper as if Lithothamnion banks do not exist in northern seas. The book by de Wildeman “Les Algues de la flore of Buitenzorg” makes no mention of any Lithothamnia.

description: This paper aims to investigate the non-linear adjustments of prices between farm and retail prices in the lamb sector in Spain. The methodology used is based on the multivariate approach to specify and estimate a three-regime Threshold Autoregressive Model. Results indicate that in the long-run price transmission is perfect and any supply or demand shocks are fully transmitted along the marketing chain. In the short-run, price adjustments between the farm and the retail levels are asymmetric and are representative of a demand-pull transmission mechanism. On the other hand, retailers benefit from any shock, whether positive or negative, that affects supply or demand conditions.

description: We present an analysis of agricultural and food trade in Ukraine over the period 1996-2002 focusing on different aspects of intra-industry trade. We estimated Grubel-Lloyd and marginal IIT indexes to examine the relevance of intra-industry trade between Ukraine and its trading partners and the changes in nature of trade flows over time. The results indicate that the major part of agro-food trade is of the inter-industry type, and thus a product of underlying comparative advantages. The low level of index seems to be typical for primary sectors in comparison to industries with higher product differentiation. Also marginal IIT appears to be low, the structure of the changes in agro-food trade flows between Ukraine and its trading partners during the analyzed period is shown to be predominantly intra-industry. These results imply that the restructuring process, associated with trade liberalization of Ukraine on bilateral and multilateral level, will induce higher adjustment costs than in an intra-industry trade environment.

description: Deutschland nahm ab dem Jahr 1990 mit den so genannten “Kontigentsflüchtlingen” Juden aus den Nachfolgestaaten der ehemaligen Sowjetunion auf.10 Damit hat sich die Zahl der Juden in Deutschland von angeblich etwa 29.000 im Jahr 1990 auf knapp 300.000 binnen lediglich 15 Jahren verzehnfacht. Unter ihnen auch “messianische Juden”, welche bis dahin im Deutschen Judentum nach 1945 keine Rolle spielten. Zum Vergleich: vor dem Hitler-Regime lebten im Deutschen Reich laut Volkszählung vom Juni 1933 etwa 503.000 Juden. Die im heutigen Deutschland einzig in Frage gestellte Gruppe sind die etwa 20.000 bis bis 30.000 ‘messianischen Juden’. Sie leiden unter teils massiven Angriffen, die insbesondere von der jüdischen Gemeinschaft selbst ausgehend. Wir sind nunmehr der Frage nachgegangen, was einen ‘messianischen Juden’ in Deutschland aus theologischer, geschichtlicher und juristischer Perspektive ausmacht und ob Kritik am messianischen Judentum berechtigt oder übergriffig ist, mithin eine besondere Form des Antisemitismus. Die Essenz unseres White Papers ist, dass die Kritik und der blanke Hass, der messianischen Juden oft entgegenschlägt, zwar nicht die Kriterien des Antisemitismus erfüllt, jedoch alle Merkmale von gruppenbezogener Menschenfeindlichkeit aufweist. Wir sind überdies zu dem Ergebnis gelangt, dass messianische Juden ohne jeden Zweifel in Deutschland als Juden im Spektrum des diversen (Diversity) Judentums anzusehen sind. Eine Vertretung ihrer Interessen durch jüdische Verbände ist theologisch und geschichtlich völlig unproblematisch und sogar erforderlich, sofern es sich nicht um verkappte christliche Missionare handelt.

description: The Landau-de Gennes free energy is used to study theoretically the interaction of parallel cylindrical colloidal particles trapped at a nematic-isotropic interface. We find that the effective interaction potential is non-monotonic. The corresponding force-distance curves exhibit jumps and hysteresis upon approach/separation due to the creation/annihilation of topological defects. Minimization results suggest a simple empirical pair potential for the effective colloid-colloid interaction at the interface. We propose that the interface-mediated interaction can play an important role in self-organization and clustering of colloidal particles at such interfaces.

description: This article solves and characterizes optimal decision rules to invest in irreversible land improvements conditional on land tenure insecurity. Economic model is a normative dynamic programming model with known parameter for the one period returns and transition equations. The decision rules are solved numerically conditional on alternative scenarios on the likelihood that the lease contract and, thus, farmer access to land is either renewed or expires. The model parameters represent Finnish soil quality and production conditions. The results suggest that irreversible land improvements decrease quickly and the yields decline gradually when the farmer is confronted with land tenure insecurity caused by uncertain renewal of the lease contract.

description: The basis space in the triaxial projected shell model (TPSM) approach is generalized for odd-odd nuclei to include two-neutron and two-proton configurations on the basic one-neutron coupled to one-proton quasiparticle state. The generalization allows to investigate odd-odd nuclei beyond the band crossing region and as a first application of this development, high-spin band structures recently observed in odd-odd $^{194-200}$Tl isotopes are investigated. In some of these isotopes, the doublet band structures observed after the band crossing have been conjectured to arise from the spontaneous breaking of the chiral symmetry. The driving configuration of the chiral symmetry in these odd-odd isotopes is one-proton and three-neutrons rather than the basic one-proton and one-neutron as already observed in many other nuclei. It is demonstrated using the TPSM approach that energy differences of the doublet bands in $^{194}$Tl and $^{198}$Tl are, indeed, small. However, the differences in the calculated transition probabilities are somewhat larger than what is expected in the chiral symmetry limit. Experimental data on the transition probabilities is needed to shed light on the chiral nature of the doublet bands.
