description: Generalized uncertainty principle puts forward the existence of the shortest distances and/or maximum momentum at the Planck scale for consideration. In this article, we investigate the solutions of a two-dimensional Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) oscillator within an external magnetic field in a minimal length (ML) scale. First, we obtain the eigensolutions in ordinary quantum mechanics. Then, we examine the DKP oscillator in the presence of an ML for the spin-zero and spin-one sectors. We determine an energy eigenvalue equation in both cases with the corresponding eigenfunctions in the non-relativistic limit. We show that in the ordinary quantum mechanic limit, where the ML correction vanishes, the energy eigenvalue equations become identical with the habitual quantum mechanical ones. Finally, we employ the Euler-Mclaurin summation formula and obtain the thermodynamic functions of the DKP oscillator in the high-temperature scale.

description: The energetics of the long duration GRB phenomenum is compared with the BZ mechanism. A rough estimate of the energy extracted from a rotating Black Hole with the Blandford-Znajek mechanism is evaluated with a very simple assumption: an inelastic collision between the rotating BH and an accreting torus. The GRB energetics requires an high magnetic field that breaks down the vacuum around the BH and gives origin to a e$^\pm$ fireball.

description: We present preliminary results for the orientational order in deposits of dipolar particles, on one dimensional substrates. The deposits are generated using a model where the incoming dipolar particle interacts with the other particles in the deposit via a dipole-dipole potential. The interdipolar vectors are restricted to lie on a square lattice although the dipole moments are free to rotate in three dimensions. The path of the incoming particle is generated through a Monte Carlo scheme controlled by an effective temperature T, the case of pure diffusion-limited deposition corresponding to T=infinity$. We calculate the ferromagnetic and nematic order parameters and the dipolar orientational probability density of the deposits, at various stages of growth and two effective temperatures. The dipolar angular correlations along the rows and columns of the lattice are also investigated. We find that the orientational order of the deposits depends strongly on the lattice structure, the stage of growth and the effective temperature.

description: Informal land markets, particularly land rental markets, are emerging rapidly in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Land rental markets have the potential to contribute to structural transformation if, for example, such markets facilitate the transfer of land from less productive to more productive farming households. Although there is a growing literature on the determinants of smallholder farm households’ decisions to participate in land rental markets, relatively little is known about the factors driving land rental prices in SSA. This study aims to fill that gap using panel data from Malawi to estimate the effects of various plot-level characteristics and economic variables on plot-level land rental prices. Of particular interest is the effect of Malawi’s Farm Input Subsidy Program (FISP) on land rental prices, as evidence from the US suggests that part of the value of agricultural subsidies is often capitalized in land rental prices. Our results suggest that FISP has no substantive effect on land rental prices, perhaps because FISP’s effects on maize productivity have been modest. Expected crop prices, soil quality, and market access are more important determinants of land rental prices in Malawi; increases in these variables are associated with higher average rental prices, ceteris paribus.

description: A proper-motion separation of M4 members from field stars, using deep HST observations separated by a time base-line of 5 years, allows us to study a pure sample of cluster main-sequence stars almost to the minimum mass for hydrogen burning. High-precision photometry shows how badly current theoretical models fail to reproduce the color-magnitude diagram of low-mass stars of moderate metallicity ([M/H] ~ -1). This inability of theory to reproduce the luminosity-radius relation casts doubt on the theoretical mass-luminosity relation, which is needed to convert the observed luminosity function (LF) into a mass function (MF), as well as to convert our locally determined LF into a global MF. To the extent that we trust theoretical M-L relations for such transformations, we obtain a flat MF from the LF, and some indication that theoretical masses might be too low at a given luminosity, near the H-burning limit.

description: Filtration is one of the important technologies for separating suspended particles. Under the condition of gravity compression, the filtration density can be increased and the separation effect of suspended particles can be improved. Considering the complex composition and the difficulty in degrading dye in industrial wastewater, a gravity compression aeration system with a modified polyester fibre ball (denoted as MPFB) was evaluated for the separation of dye from water. Congo red azo dye solution (0–40 mg/L) was selected as the model treatment compound. The MPFB was prepared by adjusting the concentrations of alkali (Quality score 0–25%), β-cyclodextrin (0∼80 g/L), reaction temperature (40–90°C), and silane coupler concentration (Concentration fractions 0–0.8%). We used Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to characterise the MPFB. The separation was affected significantly by adsorption conditions such as MPFB dose and pH. The lower the MPFB dose, the higher the expected adsorption capacity. For the treatment of a dye solution at 500 mg/L, 100% removal was achieved with 48 g/L MPFB, at pH 8 during adsorption under non-circulation aeration. For 24 h of reaction, the system could reach the maximum adsorption capacity of 11.2 mg/g, which followed the pseudo-first order kinetics model and the intraparticle diffusion model. We discovered that circulation aeration provided the best adsorption and electrostatic and hydrogen bonding were the dominant components of adsorption. Overall, the system is a promising technology and has the potential to treat large volumes of dye wastewater.

description: We discuss the nature of the possible high-l excess in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy power spectrum observed by the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI). We probe the angular structure of the excess in the CBI deep fields and investigate whether it could be due to the scattering of CMB photons by hot electrons within clusters, the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. We estimate the density fluctuation parameters for amplitude, sigma_8, and shape, Gamma, from CMB primary anisotropy data and other cosmological data. We use the results of two separate hydrodynamical codes for Lambda-CDM cosmologies, consistent with the allowed sigma_8 and Gamma values, to quantify the expected contribution from the SZ effect to the bandpowers of the CBI experiment and pass simulated SZ effect maps through our CBI analysis pipeline. The result is very sensitive to the value of sigma_8, and is roughly consistent with the observed power if sigma_8 ~ 1. We conclude that the CBI anomaly could be a result of the SZ effect for the class of Lambda-CDM concordance models if sigma_8 is in the upper range of values allowed by current CMB and Large Scale Structure (LSS) data.

description: Changes in costs associated with each level in the fresh and processed citrus marketing channel are examined. The results indicate that more than 60 percent of the retail food dollar spent on fresh grapefruit is associated with activities that occur after the fruit leaves fresh fruit packinghouses. For frozen concentrated orange juice and canned single-strength grapefruit juice the F .O.B.-retail margin was estimated to be 25 and 27 precent, respectively, of the consumers' expenditures. Total citrus bearing acreage has declined 17 percent since 1970-71. Total citrus production has decreased 40 percent since 1979-80.

description: Dual-phase xenon detectors are widely used in dark matter direct detection experiments, and have demonstrated the highest sensitivities to a variety of dark matter interactions. However, a key component of the dual-phase detector technology--the efficiency of charge extraction from liquid xenon into gas--has not been well characterized. In this paper, we report a new measurement of the electron extraction efficiency (EEE) in a small xenon detector using two mono-energetic decay features of $^{37}$Ar. By achieving stable operation at very high voltages, we measured the EEE values at the highest extraction electric field strength reported to date. For the first time, an apparent saturation of the EEE is observed over a large range of electric field; between 7.5 kV/cm and 10.4 kV/cm extraction field in the liquid xenon the EEE stays stable at the level of 1%(kV/cm)$^{-1}$. In the context of electron transport models developed for xenon, we discuss how the observed saturation may help calibrate this relative EEE measurement to the absolute EEE values. In addition, we present the implications of this result not only to current and future xenon-based dark matter searches, but also to xenon-based searches for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scatters.

description: Existing packinghouses are located near older groves. As more citrus is grown farther south in Florida, transportation cost increases will occur unless new packinghouses open near the new production areas. This paper is concerned with the impact of the southern movement of citrus production in the Indian River marketing district on the size, number, and location of citrus packinghouses. The southern movement of citrus production does suggest the need for construction of a new packinghouse in Jupiter, Florida. Existing packinghouses could be reconfigured into larger packinghouses. In general, however, the Indian River packinghouse capacity is located where the production is located.

description: The Bogoliubov-Fröhlich Hamiltonian models the interaction of an impurity with the excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate.

We give a detailed explanation of this UV behaviour, and provide an explicit representation of the renormalised Hamiltonian.

description: We address the problem of learning a single model for person re-identification, attribute classification, body part segmentation, and pose estimation. With predictions for these tasks we gain a more holistic understanding of persons, which is valuable for many applications. This is a classical multi-task learning problem. However, no dataset exists that these tasks could be jointly learned from. Hence several datasets need to be combined during training, which in other contexts has often led to reduced performance in the past. We extensively evaluate how the different task and datasets influence each other and how different degrees of parameter sharing between the tasks affect performance. Our final model matches or outperforms its single-task counterparts without creating significant computational overhead, rendering it highly interesting for resource-constrained scenarios such as mobile robotics.

description: We formulate an equivalence relation between nonlocal quantum fields, generalizing the relative locality which was studied by Borchers in the framework of local QFT. The Borchers classes are shown to allow a natural extension involving nonlocal fields with arbitrarily singular ultraviolet behavior. Our consideration is based on the systematic employment of the asymptotic commutativity condition which, as established previously, ensures the normal spin and statistics connection as well as the existence of PCT symmetry in nonlocal field theory. We prove the transitivity of the weak relative asymptotic commutativity property generalizing Jost-Dyson's weak relative locality and show that all fields in the same extended Borchers class have the same S-matrix.

description: The conceptual and operational dimensions of sustainable development, poverty reduction, and privatization strategies have recently emerged on the world scene as central issues in the debate on lesser developed countries' (LDCs) development prospects for the twenty first century and beyond. The paper seeks to clarify conceptually, the nature of the economic relationships between and among the three strategies, relative to explicit or implicit development objectives. Attention is focused on three economic elements of the strategies-economic growth, equity improvement, and environmental assets - particularly as these elements might converge or diverge with respect to development objectives. The paper concludes that economic growth, equity improvement, and environmental quality parameters do not necessarily move in lock-step with each other. By extension, neither do sustainable development, poverty reduction, and privatization strategies. Privatization can be a powerful vehicle for generating high economic growth rates. High and sustained economic growth rates are the conduits for attaining complementarity among economic growth, equity improvement, and an environmental quality objectives. However, the sources and patterns of economic growth factors resulting from privatization activities can cause non-complementary effects among the welfare enhancing elements of the three strategies. The major determinants of non-complementary forces associated with growth are market and or policy failures and the orientation of the technological practices.

description: We investigate the production of cosmic ray (CR) protons at cosmological shocks by performing, for the first time, numerical simulations of large scale structure formation that include directly the acceleration, transport and energy losses of the high energy particles. CRs are injected at shocks according to the thermal leakage model and, thereafter, accelerated to a power-law distribution as indicated by the test particle limit of the diffusive shock acceleration theory. The evolution of the CR protons accounts for losses due to adiabatic expansion/compression, Coulomb collisions and inelastic p-p scattering. Our results suggest that CR protons produced at shocks formed in association with the process of large scale structure formation could amount to a substantial fraction of the total pressure in the intra-cluster medium. Their presence should be easily revealed by GLAST through detection of gamma-ray flux from the decay of neutral pions produced in inelastic p-p collisions of such CR protons with nuclei of the intra-cluster gas. This measurement will allow a direct determination of the CR pressure contribution in the intra-cluster medium. We also find that the spatial distribution of CR is typically more irregular than that of the thermal gas because it is more influenced by the underlying distribution of shocks. This feature is reflected in the appearance of our gamma-ray synthetic images. Finally, the average CR pressure distribution appears statistically slightly more extended than the thermal pressure.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We study the fundamental limit on the localization precision for a subwavelength scatterer embedded in a strongly scattering environment, using the external degrees of freedom provided by wavefront shaping. For a weakly scattering target, the localization precision improves with the value of the local density of states at the target position. For a strongly scattering target, the localization precision depends on the dressed polarizability that includes the back action of the environment. This numerical study provides new insights for the control of the information content of scattered light by wavefront shaping, with potential applications in sensing, imaging, and nanoscale engineering.

Polarization in caustic-crossing binary microlensing events
Creators: name: Sajadian, Sedighe
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Here, we revisit the polarization signal in caustic-crossing binary microlensing and introduce the maps of the polarization signals of the source star as a function of its position projected on the lens plane. The behavior of these maps depends on the source size in comparison with the caustic. If the source size is so smaller than the caustic curve, the maximum polarization signal occurs while the source edge is crossing the nearest folds to the position of the primary. When the source size is larger than the caustic, the polarization signal maximizes over a circular ring around the primary whose radius normalized to the source radius is ~0.96. In cusp caustic crossings, the polarization curves have three peaks, the largest and widest one happens when the source edge is on the corner of the cusp and the source center is inside the caustic curve. When the source is entirely inside the caustic, the polarization signal significantly decreases. Despite the low magnification factor between two parts of planetary caustics, its polarization signal is considerable and can reach to 0.2\% for early-type stars. While crossing the connection line between different parts of caustic, the polarimetry curve have three close peaks that the middle one appears when the source center is upon the connection line.

description: Experiences since structural adjustment in China's agricultural sector suggest that the portion of the market which has been deregulated shows considerable economic rationality among the major actors in the market. Data used were generated during a period when China was following a gradual approach to the liberalization of markets, and the results suggest that the approach has merits for freeing agricultural markets. On the supply side, producers have been price responsive in supplying the free market, and a major institutional adjustment in the organization of farms indicates that fewer distortions have led to increased outputs for the market. On the demand side, home produced foods for rural consumer and rationed foods for urban consumer substitute for free-market goods. The income elasticity for food in the free market is more elastic in rural than in urban households as one would expect, since rural incomes are approximately one-half those of urban dwellers.
Social media impact on human rights advocacy

description: Second semester University: University of Ljubljana
description: This thesis seeks to shed a more holistic light on the overall impact of the influence of social media on human rights advocacy. It does so through an exploration and analysis of relevant literature and illustrative case studies. In doing so it tracks down the main non-state actors who take part in generating such digital advocacy and how the approach to advocacy as a whole is being shaped by the growing use of social media platforms. The thesis gives space to the two side of the discourse: the cyber-positive point of view which believes social media are positively impacting human rights in general and its advocacy, the thesis dealt with two example of such view the support of social movement and hacktivism; and the cyber-pessimist point of view which believes social media are destined to become a tool of authoritarian regimes. The thesis intends to find a possible balance between this two side of the spectrum using real cases of social movement who have been deeply and famously impact by social media. Such cases are the Egypt revolution of 2011 and the more recants protest of Black Lives Matter.

description: We present an extension of equilibrium wetting to nonequilibrium situations particularly suited to systems with anisotropic interactions. Both critical and complete wetting transitions were found and characterized. We have identified a region in the space of parameters (temperature and chemical potential) where the wet and non-wet phases coexist. Emphasis is made on the analogies and differences between equilibrium and nonequilibrium wetting.

description: We report on the cosmological parameters derived from observations with the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI), covering 40 square degrees and the multipole range 300 < l < 3500. The angular scales probed by the CBI correspond to structures which cover the mass range from 10^14 to 10^17 M_sun, and the observations reveal, for the first time, the seeds that gave rise to clusters of galaxies. These unique, high-resolution observations also show damping in the power spectrum to l ~ 2000, which we interpret as due to the finite width of the photon-baryon decoupling region and the viscosity operating at decoupling. Because the observations extend to much higher l the CBI results provide information complementary to that probed by the Boomerang, DASI, Maxima, and VSA experiments. As the observations are pushed to higher multipoles no anomalies relative to standard models appear, and extremely good consistency is found between the cosmological parameters derived for the CBI observations over the range 610 < l < 2000 and observations at lower l [abridged].

description: Dairy enterprises have to cope with intense market pressure and survival pressure. In such complex and competitive market environment, it is of great realistic significance for studying the influence of strategy selection of dairy enterprises on their performance. Through selecting 115 dairy enterprises, empirical analysis was made, and multiple linear regression model and structural equation model were established with the aid of SPSS and Amos software. Comparative analysis was carried out for performance of different strategy selection. Results indicate that dairy enterprises selecting vertical strategies obtain the best performance, followed by horizontal strategy, and the worst is multiple strategy, and the strategy selection exerts positive and direct influence on performance of dairy enterprises.

description: Sensitive microwave detectors are critical instruments in radioastronomy, dark matter axion searches, and superconducting quantum information science. The conventional strategy towards higher-sensitivity bolometry is to nanofabricate an ever-smaller device to augment the thermal response. However, this direction is increasingly more difficult to obtain efficient photon coupling and maintain the material properties in a device with a large surface-to-volume ratio. Here we advance this concept to an ultimately thin bolometric sensor based on monolayer graphene. To utilize its minute electronic specific heat and thermal conductivity, we develop a superconductor-graphene-superconductor (SGS) Josephson junction bolometer embedded in a microwave resonator of resonant frequency 7.9 GHz with over 99\% coupling efficiency. From the dependence of the Josephson switching current on the operating temperature, charge density, input power, and frequency, we demonstrate a noise equivalent power (NEP) of 7 $\times 10^{-19}$ W/Hz$^{1/2}$, corresponding to an energy resolution of one single photon at 32 GHz and reaching the fundamental limit imposed by intrinsic thermal fluctuation at 0.19 K.
