description: We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to generate a superposition of travelling field coherent states using extremely small Kerr effect and an ancilla which could be a single photon or two entangled twin photons. The scheme contains ingredients which are all within the current state of the art and is robust against the main sources of errors which can be identified in our setups.

description: We investigate the electrostatic confinement of charge carriers in a gapped graphene quantum dot in the presence of a magnetic flux. The circular quantum dot is defined by an electrostatic gate potential delimited in an infinite graphene sheet which is then connected to a two terminal setup. Considering different regions composing our system, we explicitly determine the solutions of the energy spectrum in terms of Hankel functions. Using the scattering matrix together with the asymptotic behavior of the Hankel functions for large arguments, we calculate the density of states and show that it has an oscillatory behavior with the appearance of resonant peaks. It is found that the energy gap can controls the amplitude and width of these resonances and affect their location in the density of states profile.

description: Numerous studies have investigated how farmers should use forward pricing markets, but only limited research exists on how farmers actually use these markets. This study relies on data from a real-time forward pricing game employed by Maryland grain marketing clubs from 1994 through 1998. Hypotheses are tested regarding the consistency of farmer behavior with the research literature on hedging. Findings indicate that farmers do not achieve price enhancement, a result consistent with the efficient market hypothesis. However, pricing behavior does not conform to the implications of efficient market models in a number of respects, suggesting farmers may form different expectations than those conveyed by forward prices.

description: We present an extensive experimental study of the distributions of the real and imaginary parts of the off-diagonal elements of the scattering matrix $\hat S$ and the Wigner's reaction $\hat K$-matrix for open microwave networks with broken time ($T$) reversal invariance. Microwave Faraday circulators were applied in order to break $T$-invariance. The experimental distributions of the real and imaginary parts of the off-diagonal entries of the scattering matrix $\hat S$ are compared with the theoretical predictions from the supersymmetry random matrix theory [A. Nock, S. Kumar, H.-J. Sommers, and T. Guhr, Annals of Physics {\bf 342}, 103-132 (2014)]. Furthermore, we show that the experimental results are in very good agreement with the recent predictions for the distributions of the real and imaginary parts of the off-diagonal elements of the Wigner's reaction $\hat K$-matrix obtained within the framework of the Gaussian unitary ensemble of random matrix theory (RMT) [S. B. Fedeli and Y. V. Fyodorov, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. {\bf 53}, 165701 (2020)]. Both theories include losses as tunable parameters and are therefore well adapted to the experimental verification.

description: Because of public health concerns, regulators are considering requiring post-harvest treatment of halfshell and shucked oysters by wholesalers and processors. Two recently developed post-harvest treatment technologies may actually reduce the costs of producing shucked oysters, but would increase the costs of halfshell oysters. An interregional model of the wholesale oyster industry is developed to estimate the effects of treatment requirements on prices, output, and employment. If post-harvest treatment is required for all Gulf oysters, price increases are estimated to be less than 20% and, in some cases, prices decrease. Results indicate producer and consumer losses in the halfshell market are partially or more than offset by gains in the shucked market.

A Simple and Accurate Model for Intra-Cluster Gas

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

description: Starting with the well-known NFW dark matter halo distribution, we construct a simple polytropic model for the intracluster medium which is in good agreement with high resolution numerical hydrodynamical simulations, apply this model to a very large scale concordance dark matter simulation, and compare the resulting global properties with recent observations of X-ray clusters, including the mass-temperature and luminosity-temperature relations. We make allowances for a non-negligible surface pressure, removal of low entropy (short cooling time) gas, energy injection due to feedback, and for a relativistic (non-thermal) pressure component. A polytropic index n=5 (Gamma=1.2) provides a good approximation to the internal gas structure of massive clusters (except in the very central regions where cooling becomes important), and allows one to recover the observed M_500-T, L_x-T, and T/n_e^{2/3} ~ T^0.65 relations. Using these concepts and generalizing this method so that it can be applied to fully three-dimensional N-body simulations, one can predict the global X-ray and SZE trends for any specified cosmological model. We find a good fit to observations when assuming that twelve percent of the initial baryonic mass condenses into stars, the fraction of rest mass of this condensed component transferred back to the remaining gas (feedback) is 3.9E-5, and the fraction of total pressure from a nonthermal component is near ten percent.

description: Over the last two decades, the field of computational science has seen a dramatic shift towards incorporating high-throughput computation and big-data analysis as fundamental pillars of the scientific discovery process. This has necessitated the development of tools and techniques to deal with the generation, storage and processing of large amounts of data. In this work we present an in-depth look at the workflow engine powering AiiDA, a widely adopted, highly flexible and database-backed informatics infrastructure with an emphasis on data reproducibility. We detail many of the design choices that were made which were informed by several important goals: the ability to scale from running on individual laptops up to high-performance supercomputers, managing jobs with runtimes spanning from fractions of a second to weeks and scaling up to thousands of jobs concurrently, and all this while maximising robustness. In short, AiiDA aims to be a Swiss army knife for high-throughput computational science. As well as the architecture, we outline important API design choices made to give workflow writers a great deal of liberty whilst guiding them towards writing robust and modular workflows, ultimately enabling them to encode their scientific knowledge to the benefit of the wider scientific community.

description: We present new HST/STIS observations of Centaurus A. [SIII] 9533A was used to study the kinematics in the nuclear region with a 0.1" spatial resolution. The STIS data and the VLT/ISAAC spectra by Marconi et al. (2001) provide independent and consistent measures of the BH mass, which are in agreement with our previous estimate based on the ISAAC data alone: MBH=(1.1+/-0.1) 10^8 Msun for a disk inclination of i=25deg or or MBH=(6.5+/-0.7) 10^7 Msun for i=35deg, the largest i value allowed by the data. We find that the choice of the intrinsic surface brightness distribution, a crucial element in the modeling, has no effects on MBH but has a large impact on the gas velocity dispersion. A mismatch between the observed and model velocity dispersion is not necessarily an indication of non-circular motions or kinematically hot gas, but is as easily due to an inaccurate computation arising from too course a model grid, or the adoption of an intrinsic brightness distribution which is too smooth. The observed velocity dispersion, line profiles and the higher order moments in the Hermite expansion, h_3 and h_4, are consistent with emission from a rotating disk. Results from gas kinematical estimate are in good agreement with a recent stellar dynamical estimate of MBH. The BH mass in Centaurus A agrees with the correlation with infrared luminosity and mass of the host spheroid but is not in disagreement with the stellar velocity dispersion if one takes into account the intrinsic scatter of the MBH-sigma correlation. Finally, using HST data we can constrain the size of any cluster of dark objects alternative to a BH to r<0.035" (~0.6pc). Thus Centaurus A ranks among the best cases for supermassive Black Holes in galactic nuclei. (ABRIDGED)

description: Superselection rules (SSRs) limit the mechanical and quantum processing resources represented by quantum states. However SSRs can be violated using reference systems to break the underlying symmetry. We show that there is a duality between the ability of a system to do mechanical work and to act as a reference system. Further, for a bipartite system in a globally symmetric pure state, we find a triality between the system's ability to do local mechanical work, its ability to do ``logical work'' due to its accessible entanglement, and its ability to act as a shared reference system.

A strong neutron burst in jet-like supernovae of spinstars

description: Some metal-poor stars have abundance patterns which are midway between the slow (s) and rapid (r) neutron capture processes. We show that the helium shell of a fast rotating massive star experiencing a jet-like explosion undergoes two efficient neutron capture processes: one during stellar evolution and one during the explosion. It eventually provides a material whose chemical composition is midway between the s- and r-process. A low metallicity 40~$M_{\odot}$ model with an initial rotational velocity of $\sim 700$~km~s$^{-1}$ was computed from birth to pre-supernova with a nuclear network following the slow neutron capture process. A 2D hydrodynamic relativistic code was used to model a $E = 10^{52}$~erg relativistic jet-like explosion hitting the stellar mantle. The jet-induced nucleosynthesis was calculated in post-processing with a network of 1812 nuclei. During the star's life, heavy elements from $30 \lesssim Z \lesssim 82$ are produced thanks to an efficient s-process, which is boosted by rotation. At the end of evolution, the helium shell is largely enriched in trans-iron elements and in (unburnt) $^{22}$Ne, whose abundance is $\sim 20$ times higher than in a non-rotating model. During the explosion, the jet heats the helium shell up to $\sim 1.5$ GK. It efficiently activates ($α,n$) reactions, such as $^{22}$Ne($α,n$), and leads to a strong n-process with neutron densities of $\sim 10^{19} - 10^{20}$~cm$^{-3}$ during $0.1$~second. This has the effect of shifting the s-process pattern towards heavier elements (e.g. Eu). The resulting chemical pattern is consistent with the abundances of the carbon-enhanced metal-poor r/s star CS29528-028, provided the ejecta of the jet model is not homogeneously mixed. This is a new astrophysical site which can explain at least some of the metal-poor stars showing abundance patterns midway between the s- and r-process.

description: Communities in most states are under pressure to reduce the amount of solid waste going into landfills. Many are making efforts to encourage their citizens to practice backyard composting. A logit regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with backyard composting of yard and food wastes in a case study area. Sample data were obtained through a September 1997 telephone survey of 865 households residing in single-family dwellings in Knox County, Tennessee. Findings indicate that a number of variables reflecting complementary behavior, attitudes, knowledge, and peer influence were significantly related to composting behavior. Policy implications of these findings are outlined.

description: Conjoint analysis is used to evaluate consumer preferences for three consumer-ready products derived from crawfish. Utility functions are estimated using two-limit tobit and ordered probit models. The results show women prefer a baked nugget or popper type product, whereas 35- to 44-year-old men prefer a microwavable nugget or patty type product. The results also show little difference between part-worth estimates or predicted rankings for the tobit and ordered probit models, implying the results are not sensitive to assumptions regarding the ordinal and cardinal nature of respondent preferences.
Evolutionary consequences of dioecy in angiosperms : the effects of breeding system on speciation and extinction rates
Creators: name: Heilbuth, Jana C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Dioecy, the breeding system with male and female function on separate individuals, may affect the ability of a lineage to avoid extinction or speciate. Dioecy is a rare breeding system among the angiosperms (approximately 6% of all flowering plants) while hermaphroditism (having male and female function present within each flower) is predominant. Dioecious angiosperms may be rare because the transitions to dioecy have been recent or because dioecious angiosperms experience decreased diversification rates (speciation minus extinction) compared to plants with other breeding systems. Many traits that might affect diversification rates are different between dioecious and hermaphroditic plants, namely seed dispersal, pollination, geographical distribution, and growth habit (woody versus herbaceous). This thesis is composed of four separate projects that attempt to describe and explain the patchy distribution of dioecy among the angiosperms. In all the chapters, dioecy is examined from a fresh perspective that considers the evolutionary consequences of dioecy rather than from the traditional angle that focuses on the forces involved in the evolution towards dioecy. The first project compares the species richness of dioecious groups and their most closely related sister-groups. Dioecious groups are, on average, smaller than their sister-groups, indicating that dioecious angiosperms experience higher extinction rates or lower speciation rates. Following from this observation, the next two projects use computer simulations and mathematical theory to explore how (a) the limited seed dispersal of dioecious angiosperms (in which only females can disperse seeds) and (b) the differing pollination dynamics of dioecious angiosperms (where males may become more attractive to pollinators than females) may affect extinction rates, finding that both processes are potential causes of the low representation of dioecy among the angiosperms. Finally, using a comparative phylogenetic framework, I explore the reported ecological correlations of dioecy with small, white flowers, fleshy fruits, tropical distribution, and woody growth form. I confirm the presence of these correlations but, contrary to previous theories, find evidence that the cause of the correlations is due to the ability of these traits to alleviate some of the aforementioned disadvantages (in terms of dispersal and pollination) of dioecy.

description: This study models the effects of variability in farm income and off-farm wages on farm operators' labor allocation decisions. A simple theoretical model is employed to develop hypotheses, which are then tested empirically. Variability in farm income and off-farm wages is predicted to have a positive and negative effect, respectively, on off-farm hours worked. The empirical results confirm these predictions.

description: The financial performance and relationships between several management factors and financial performance are examined in a panel of 107 New York dairy farms. A panel regression model with fixed effects is estimated in an effort to identify management factors that influence profitability. The model is estimated with two-stage least squares to account for endogenous farm size and debt use variables. Production management factors such as farm size, rate of milk production, and milking system had a positive impact on farm profitability. Financial management variables for the type of accounting system used and the debt use were also significantly related to profitability. Unlike the findings of many other studies, measures of human capital did not have a statistically significant impact on profitability.

description: We model the OH megamaser emission from the luminous infrared galaxy IIIZw35 as arising from a narrow rotating starburst ring of radius 22 pc enclosing a mass of 7 x 10^6 Msun. We show how both the compact and apparently diffuse maser emission from this ring can arise from a single phase of unsaturated maser clouds amplifying background radio continuum. The masing clouds are estimated to have a diameter of <0.7 pc and internal velocity dispersion of about 20 km/s. We find that the clouds are neither self-gravitating nor pressure confined but are freely expanding. Their dispersal lifetimes may set the vertical thickness of the ring. For an estimated internal density of 3 x 10^3 cm^-3, cloud masses are of order 24 Msun. The observed spectral features and velocity gradients indicate that the clouds must be outflowing and escaping the nucleus. The cloud mass outflow rate is estimated to be 0.8 Msun/yr, while the star formation rate is about 19 Msun/yr. Associated ionised gas, possibly generated from dissipated clouds, provides free-free absorption along the source axis, explaining the observed East-West asymmetries. We show that the clumpiness of a maser medium can have a dramatic effect on what is observed even in a relatively low gain OH megamaser. Specifically, in IIIZw35 our clumpy maser model naturally explains the large line to continuum ratios, the large 1667MHz:1665MHz line ratios and the wide velocity dispersions seen in the compact maser spots. Other astrophysical masers showing both compact and apparently diffuse emission might be explained by similar clumpy structures.

description: We present exact solutions of the massless Klein-Gordon equation in a spacetime in which an infinite straight cosmic string resides. The first solution represents a plane wave entering perpendicular to the string direction. We also present and analyze a solution with a static point-like source. In the short wavelength limit these solutions approach the results obtained by using the geometrical optics approximation: magnification occurs if the observer lies in front of the string within a strip of angular width $8πGμ$, where $μ$ is the string tension. We find that when the distance from the observer to the string is less than $ 10^{-3} {(G μ)}^{-2}λ\sim 150 {\rm Mpc} (λ/{\rm AU}) (Gμ/10^{-8})^{-2}$, where $λ$ is the wave length, the magnification is significantly reduced compared with the estimate based on the geometrical optics due to the diffraction effect. For gravitational waves from neutron star(NS)-NS mergers the several lensing events per year may be detected by DECIGO/BBO.

description: A prevailing theory for the interstellar production of complex organic molecules (COMs) involves formation on warm dust-grain surfaces, via the diffusion and reaction of radicals produced through grain-surface photodissociation of stable molecules. However, some gas-phase O-bearing COMs, notably acetaldehyde(CH$_3$CHO), methyl formate(CH$_3$OCHO), and dimethyl ether(CH$_3$OCH$_3$), are now observed at very low temperatures, challenging the warm scenario. Here, we introduce a selection of new non-diffusive mechanisms into an astrochemical model, to account for the failure of the standard diffusive picture and to provide a more generalized scenario of COM formation on interstellar grains. New generic rate formulations are provided for cases where: (i) radicals are formed by reactions occurring close to another reactant, producing an immediate follow-on reaction; (ii) radicals are formed in an excited state, allowing them to overcome activation barriers to react with nearby stable molecules; (iii) radicals are formed through photo-dissociation close to a reaction partner, followed by immediate reaction. Each process occurs without the diffusion of large radicals. The new mechanisms significantly enhance cold COM abundances, successfully reproducing key observational results for prestellar core L1544. H-abstraction from grain-surface COMs, followed by recombination, plays a crucial role in amplifying chemical desorption into the gas phase. The UV-induced chemistry produces significant COM abundances in the bulk ices, which are retained on the grains and may persist to later stages. O$_2$ is also formed strongly in the mantle though photolysis, suggesting cometary O$_2$ could indeed be interstellar.

Fidelity susceptibility near topological phase transitions in quantum walks

description: The notion of fidelity susceptibility, introduced within the context of quantum metric tensor, has been an important quantity to characterize the criticality near quantum phase transitions. We demonstrate that for topological phase transitions in Dirac models, provided the momentum space is treated as the manifold of the quantum metric, the fidelity susceptibility coincides with the curvature function whose integration gives the topological invariant. Thus the quantum criticality of the curvature function near a topological phase transition also describes the criticality of the fidelity susceptibility, and the correlation length extracted from the curvature function also gives a momentum scale over which the fidelity susceptibility decays. To map out the profile and criticality of the fidelity susceptibility, we turn to quantum walks that simulate one-dimensional class BDI and two-dimensional class D Dirac models, and demonstrate their accuracy in capturing the critical exponents and scaling laws near topological phase transitions.

description: In this manuscript, we investigate optimal control problems which arise in connection with manipulation of dissipative quantum dynamics. These problems motivate the study of a class of dissipative bilinear control systems. For these systems it is shown that the optimal solution and the reachable set can be found by solving a semidefinite program. In practice, solutions to these problems generate optimal methods for control of quantum mechanical phenomena in presence of dissipation. In the area of coherent spectroscopy, this translates into the maximum signal to noise ratio that can be obtained in a spectroscopy experiment.

description: This report evaluates the U.S. and world sugar markets for 2005-2015 using the Global Sugar Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, population growth, weather conditions, and technological changes. Both the U.S. and world sugar economies are predicted to improve over the next 10 years, mainly because higher world oil prices have increased the conversion of sugar into ethanol by Brazil. Brazil is the largest exporter of sugar, and it is expected that Brazilian sugar exports may be reduced due to high oil prices. World demand for sugar is expected to grow faster than world supply, resulting in Caribbean sugar prices increasing from 11.35 cents/lb in 2005 to 18.05 cents/lb in 2015. The U.S. wholesale price of sugar is projected to increase from 27.04 cents/lb in 2005 to 32.70 cents/lb in 2015, if Brazil continues to convert sugar into ethanol. The CAFTA agreement is expected to increase U.S. imports slightly, but with little impact on U.S. prices. It is projected that Mexico will be able to export 410 thousand metric tons of sugar to the United States by 2015. World trade volumes of sugar are expected to increase throughout the forecast period.

All you can stream: Investigating the role of user behavior for greenhouse gas intensity of video streaming

description: The information and communication technology sector reportedly has a relevant impact on the environment. Within this sector, video streaming has been identified as a major driver of CO2-emissions. To make streaming more sustainable, environmentally relevant factors must be identified on both the user and the provider side. Hence, environmental assessments, like life cycle assessments (LCA), need to broaden their perspective from a mere technological to one that includes user decisions and behavior. However, quantitative data on user behavior (e.g. streaming duration, choice of end device and resolution) are often lacking or difficult to integrate in LCA. Additionally, identifying relevant determinants of user behavior, such as the design of streaming platforms or user motivations, may help to design streaming services that keep environmental impact at a passable level. In order to carry out assessments in such a way, interdisciplinary collaboration is necessary. Therefore, this exploratory study combined LCA with an online survey (N= 91, 7 consecutive days of assessment). Based on this dataset the use phase of online video streaming was modeled. Additionally, factors such as sociodemographic, motivational and contextual determinants were measured. Results show that CO2-intensity of video streaming depends on several factors. It is shown that for climate intensity there is a factor 10 between choosing a smart TV and smartphone for video streaming. Furthermore, results show that some factors can be tackled from provider side to reduce overall energy demand at the user side; one of which is setting a low resolution as default.

description: A stochastic optimization model was developed to determine optimal testing strategies, costs, and risks of a dual marketing system. The model chooses the testing strategy (application, intensity, and tolerance) that maximizes utility (minimizes disutility) of additional system costs due to testing and quality loss and allows simulation of the risk premium required to induce grain handlers to undertake a dual marketing system versus a Non-GM system. Cost elements including those related to testing, quality loss, and a risk premium were estimated for a model representing a grain export chain. Uncertainties were incorporated and include test accuracy, risk of adventitious commingling throughout, and variety declaration. Sensitivities were performed for effects of variety risks, penalty differentials, re-elevation discounts, import tolerances, variety declaration, risk aversion, GM adoption, and domestic end-user.

description: We present a generalisation of the sifting procedure introduced originally by Sims for computation with finite permutation groups, and now used for many computational procedures for groups, such as membership testing and finding group orders. Our procedure is a Monte Carlo algorithm, and is presented and analysed in the context of black-box groups. It is based on a chain of subsets instead of a subgroup chain. Two general versions of the procedure are worked out in detail, and applications are given for membership tests for several of the sporadic simple groups. Our major objective was that the procedures could be proved to be Monte Carlo algorithms, and their costs computed. In addition we explicitly determined suitable subset chains for six of the sporadic groups, and we implemented the algorithms involving these chains in the {\sf GAP} computational algebra system. It turns out that sample implementations perform well in practice. The implementations will be made available publicly in the form of a {\sf GAP} package.
