description: The Center for Axion and Precision Physics research at the Institute for Basic Science is searching for axion dark matter using ultra-low temperature microwave resonators. We report the exclusion of the axion mass range 10.7126$-$10.7186 $μ$eV with near Kim-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (KSVZ) coupling sensitivity and the range 10.16$-$11.37 $μ$eV with about 9 times larger coupling at 90$\%$ confidence level. This is the first axion search result in these ranges. It is also the first with a resonator physical temperature of less than 40 mK.

description: The paper investigates theoretically effects of noise on low-bias parts of $IV$ curves of tunnel junctions. The analysis starts from the effect of shot noise from an additional (noise) junction on the Coulomb blockaded Josephson junction in high-impedance environment. Asymmetry of shot noise characterized by its odd moments results in asymmetry of the $IV$ curve of the Josephson junction. At high currents through the noise junction the $IV$ curve is very sensitive to electron counting statistics. The theory is generalized on another type of noise (phase noise of a monochromatic AC input), on a normal Coulomb blockaded tunnel junction. The effect of shot noise on the $IV$ curve of a superconducting Josephson junction in low-impedance environment is also analyzed. From this effect one can obtain information on the time necessary for an electron to tunnel through the junction responsible for shot noise. In summary, the analysis demonstrates, that the low-bias part of the $IV$ curves of tunnel junctions can be a sensitive probe of various types of noise.

description: Abstract

Unusual manifestations involving liver and central nervous system in dengue infection have been reported. We present a retrospective analysis of  217 children admitted at our institute between September 2021 –December 2021, with confirmed dengue fever  in which  higher values of altered liver enzymes (ALT>AST) were found, which is contrary to previous studies where AST  was found to be more raised than ALT. Our analysis also found that blood product transfusion requirement was also higher in children with raised transaminases. The value of transaminases, at the time of admission, was more than 20 times raised in all the 8 children who did not survive. Hence, raised transaminases at the time of presentation in case of dengue fever can be used as a marker of poor prognosis.

description: In Tunisia, the apples occupy a significant place on the sector of perennial crops. This crop covered expanded areas during the eighties following an extensive use of efficient water equipments. However, significant seasonal and annual variation of fruit supplies in the domestic market were frequently encountered affecting prices at both wholesale and consumption levels. To study the supply response of apples we carried out an econometric estimate of the model of supply response. Modelling was carried out in two stages: determination of the variation of the surfaces, on the basis of equation of news plantations and the equation of removals, and the variation of yields. The methodological approach that we followed takes account of the characteristics and specificities related to the perennial crops. Weak response of the supply to variations in the expected prices is obtained. Price elasticity obtained is about 0.13.
Polar ring galaxies and warps

description: Polar ring galaxies, where matter is in equilibrium in perpendicular orbits around spiral galaxies, are ideal objects to probe the 3D shapes of dark matter halos. The conditions to constrain the halos are that the perpendicular system does not strongly perturb the host galaxy, or that it is possible to derive back its initial shape, knowing the formation scenario of the polar ring. The formation mechanisms are reviewed: mergers, tidal accretion, or gas accretion from cosmic filaments. The Tully-Fisher diagram for polar rings reveals that the velocity in the polar plane is higher than in the host plane, which can only be explained if the dark matter is oblate and flattened along the polar plane. Only a few individual systems have been studied in details, and 3D shapes of their haloes determined by several methods. The high frequency of warps could be explained by spontaneous bending instability, if the disks are sufficiently self-gravitating, which can put constraints on the dark matter flattening.

description: We consider natural inflation in a warm inflation framework with a temperature-dependent dissipative coefficient $Γ\propto T^3$. Natural inflation can be compatible with the Planck 2018 results with such warm assistance. With no a priori assumptions on the dissipative effect's magnitude, we find that the Planck results prefer a weak dissipative regime for our benchmark scale $f=5 M_{\rm pl}$, which lies outside the $2σ$ region in the cold case. The inflation starts in the cold regime and evolves with a growing thermal fluctuation that dominates over quantum fluctuation before the end of the inflation. The observed spectral tilt puts stringent constraints on the model's parameter space. We find that $f< 1 M_{\rm pl}$ is excluded. A possible origin of such dissipative coefficient from axion-like coupling to gauge fields and tests of the model are also discussed.

Moving surface boundary-layer control with application to autonomous underwater vehicles
Creators: name: Den Hertog, Vincent R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Moving Surface Boundary-layer Control (MSBC) is a technique to delay separation and control circulation over bodies in fluid flow through momentum inj ection. In the past, rotating cylinders have been successfully used as the moving surface elements on both bluff and streamlined bodies. On tractor-trailer trucks, for example, rotating cylinders have been shown to lower the drag by reducing the size of the separated wake. For aerofoil profiles, momentum injection has lead to dramatic improvements in lift and drag. With this as background, the present study explores fluid dynamics of two different configurations in the presence of MSBC and assesses their potential in improving the performance of the control surfaces (hydroplanes) used on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). To that end, a carefully planned experimental program is conducted using two-dimensional models in a closedcircuit wind tunnel. Surface pressure distribution results are used to characterize circulation and separation effects and explain trends exhibited by the force, moment and centre of pressure data. In the first configuration, a wedge-shaped profile is integrated with a rotating cylinder at the leading edge. The momentum injection moves the boundary-layer separation point downstream resulting in high levels of lift with a profile that is simpler and less expensive to construct than a regular aerofoil. The lift, drag and moment characteristics are measured for a family of wedge profiles with three different thickness-to-chord ratios. The results are compared with those for a symmetrical aerofoil with the MSBC. Results suggest that, among the configurations tested, the wedge-aerofoil with a thickness ratio of 16% is particularly suited to an application where a high level of constant lift is required in one direction, e.g. a depressor wing on a towed vehicle. The second configuration considers a symmetrical aerofoil equipped with a rotating cylinder at its trailing edge. Such a system is capable of generating a significant amount of lift, even at zero angle of attack through a circulation control mechanism related to the Magnus Effect. The lift is controlled by the speed and direction of rotation of the cylinder. This is shown to be an attractive replacement for the bi-directionally deflecting hydrofoils found on many AUVs. The study also shows that the power required for the momentum injection is rather modest, and cavitation is not a problem in its application to most AUVs.

description: We present the first deep, optical, wide-field imaging survey of the young open cluster Collinder 359, complemented by near-infrared follow-up observations. This study is part of a large programme aimed at examining the dependence of the mass function on environment and time. We have surveyed 1.6 square degrees in the cluster, in the I and z filters, with the CFH12K camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii 3.6-m telescope down to completeness and detection limits in both filters of 22.0 and 24.0 mag, respectively. Based on their location in the optical (I-z,I) colour-magnitude diagram, we have extracted new cluster member candidates in Collinder 359 spanning 1.3-0.03 Msun assuming an age of 60 Myr and a distance of 450 pc for the cluster. We have used the 2MASS database as well as our own near-infrared photometry to examine the membership status of the optically-selected cluster candidates. Comparison of the location of the most massive members in Collinder 359 in a (B-V,V) diagram with theoretical isochrones suggests that Collinder 359 is older than Alpha Per but younger than the Pleiades. We discuss the possible relationship between Collinder 359 and IC 4665 as both clusters harbour similar parameters, including proper motion, distance, and age.

description: Spain occupies the first position in the European and Mediterranean rankings of citrus production and trade. In our analysis we assess the technical efficiency with which this sector is operating. The main objective of this study is to analyze productivity and technical efficiency of Spanish citrus sector through citrus farms with high orange production. A stochastic frontier production model is estimated in which the technical inefficiency effects are defined by the time-varying inefficiency model. A primal approach is used to decompose Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth into its various components. Results indicate improvement in efficiency scores of Spanish citrus farms along the period studied. Allocative efficiencies, technical efficiency change, and scale effects are found to be the main factors that increase TFP growth.

description: We present Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS imaging of W3 IRS 5, a binary high-mass protostar. In addition to the two protostars, NICMOS images taken in the F222M and F160W filters show three new 2.22 micron sources with very red colors; these sources fall within a region 5600 AU in diameter, and are coincident with a 100 solar mass dense molecular clump. Two additional point sources are found within 0.4'' (800 AU) of one of the high-mass protostars; these may be stellar companions or unresolved emission knots from an outflow. We propose that these sources constitute a nascent Trapezium system in the center of the W3 IRS 5 cluster containing as many as five proto OB stars. This would be the first identification of a Trapezium still deeply embedded in its natal gas.

description: In contrast to the centralised fresh produce procurement systems of South African retailers relying on preferred commercial suppliers, this paper draws on an in-depth analysis of the innovative procurement schemes of two rural-based supermarket chain stores in the Limpopo Province to source fresh vegetables locally from small-scale farmers. The objective is to derive lessons to guide public and private sector actors in promoting greater participation of small-scale producers in dynamic supply chains, through the exposure of the key drivers and success factors affecting the inclusion of small-scale vegetable farmers. The critical factors affecting the up-scaling and / or replication of this type of procurement relates to operation in a remote, emerging market, franchise stores with flexible procurement options, small-scale farmers with potential and land in close proximity to the supermarket, good communication and coordination, long term commitment, technical support, interest-free farm loans and diversity in product supply among farmers. Key indicators of mutually beneficial engagement are consolidated farming systems, improved farming income, low cost procurement of fresh vegetables (short supply chain), as well as fostering of the stores' broader community involvement strategy. Up-scaling/replicating the scheme would probably require the involvement of external actors and the definition and establishment of public private partnerships. These should be tailored to the specific local conditions and capacities of the different stakeholders. Specific emphasis should be put on support towards the development of critical skills at local community level to empower small-scale farmers to sustain beneficial participation in the market.
Shear band healing in amorphous materials by small-amplitude oscillatory shear deformation

description: The effect of small-amplitude periodic shear on annealing of a shear band in binary glasses is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The shear band is first introduced in stable glasses via large-amplitude periodic shear, and then amorphous samples are subjected to repeated loading during thousands of cycles at strain amplitudes below the yield strain. It was found that with increasing strain amplitude, the glasses are relocated to deeper potential energy levels, while the energy change upon annealing is not affected by the glass initial stability. The results of mechanical tests indicate that the shear modulus and yield stress both increase towards plateau levels during the first few hundred cycles, and their magnitudes are largest when samples are loaded at strain amplitudes close to the yield strain. The analysis of nonaffine displacements reveals that the shear band breaks up into isolated clusters that gradually decay over time, leading to nearly reversible deformation within the elastic range. These results might be useful for mechanical processing of metallic glasses and additive manufacturing.

description: The tethered-particle method is a single-molecule technique that has been used to explore the dynamics of a variety of macromolecules of biological interest. We give a theoretical analysis of the particle motions in such experiments. Our analysis reveals that the proximity of the tethered bead to a nearby surface (the microscope slide) gives rise to a volume-exclusion effect, resulting in an entropic force on the molecule. This force stretches the molecule, changing its statistical properties. In particular, the proximity of bead and surface brings about intriguing scaling relations between key observables (statistical moments of the bead) and parameters such as the bead size and contour length of the molecule. We present both approximate analytic solutions and numerical results for these effects in both flexible and semiflexible tethers. Finally, our results give a precise, experimentally-testable prediction for the probability distribution of the distance between the polymer attachment point and the center of the mobile bead.

description: The objective of this paper is to provide deeper insights on the impacts of agricultural policy reforms in the Mediterranean basin focusing on regional effects in the EU. The empirical analysis has been undertaken using the partial equilibrium multi commodity, multi region world trade model AGRISIM. The simulation results indicated that the CAP Reform for the Mediterranean commodities seems to affect only the EU Mediterranean Member states and the enlargement with Bulgaria and Romania only this two countries. Moreover the impacts on the markets of typical Mediterranean commodities included in the modelling exercise are limited. The supply in the EU changes mainly for those commodities that are of high protection as beef, whereas the demand increases being highest for beef. The prices adjust to the world market prices resulting thus to negative changes for the producer's surplus, but to positive for the consumer's surplus. The effects for the EU budget are also positive and overall welfare gains are to be expected.

description: In the context of brane gas cosmology in superstring theory, we show why it is impossible to simultaneously stabilize the dilaton and the radion with a general gas of strings (including massless modes) and D-branes. Although this requires invoking a different mechanism to stabilize these moduli fields, we find that the brane gas can still play a crucial role in the early universe in assisting moduli stabilization. We show that a modest energy density of specific types of brane gas can solve the overshoot problem that typically afflicts potentials arising from gaugino condensation.

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the economic rationale underlying collective management and supply control mechanisms in European protected designations of origin (PDOs), with a focus on the French Comte cheese market. The argument is based on the presence of imperfect competition at the processing stage of the industry. Assuming that processors are able to exercise both oligopsony power in the procurement of the agricultural output and oligopoly power in the sale of the final product, I show that vertical integration between upstream producers and downstream processors is mutually beneficial as long as the integrated industry is able to exercise some degree of seller market power. I characterize instances where consumers also win from the integration process, so that the vertically integrated monopolist is less detrimental to social welfare than the separated industry. Even when consumers lose, the deadweight loss due to market power by the integrated monopolist may not be significantly higher than that arising from the joint exertion of oligopsony and oligopoly power by a separated processing sector. This argument provides a potential rationale to the government-sanctioned production control scheme currently in place in the French Comte cheese market.

description: The neutron star maximum mass and the radius are investigated within the framework of the relativistic mean-field (RMF) model. The variation in the radius at the canonical mass, $R_{1.4}$, using different inner crust equation of state (EoS) with different symmetry energy slope parameter is studied. It is found that although the NS maximum mass and the corresponding radius do not vary much with different inner crust EoSs, the radius and the tidal deformability at 1.4$M_{\odot}$ vary with the different choice of crust EoS and variation of about 1-2 km is seen in the radius at the canonical mass. For non-unified EoSs, the crust with a low symmetry energy slope parameter produces a low NS radius at the canonical mass. The properties of maximally rotating neutron stars are also studied. The variation in the radius of rotating star at the canonical mass 1.4$M_{\odot}$ is also seen with the slope parameter. Similar to the static neutron star, the radius at 1.4$M_{\odot}$ of rotating neutron star is affected by slope parameter of the inner crust. Other important quantities like moment of inertia, frequency, rotational kinetic energy to gravitational energy ratio are also calculated. The variation in these quantities with the crust slope parameter is found to be more proportional to the mass and the radius of NS.

description: In this paper we compare the changes in farm incomes in EU regions and US States between1989 and 2002. The aim of this comparative analysis is highlight the patterns of convergence or divergence and how they differ over time. We use two recent analytical instruments: non-stationary panel analysis and dynamic distribution analysis. Both tools overcome the problems involved in using standard cross-section analysis. The results of the non-stationary panel analysis show that the EU regions are converging, and that family farm income is converging faster than net added value. In the US states the analysis shows that substantial differences in farm income persist, and there are no evident signs of convergence. While, the regions are heterogeneous, we modified the analysis to allow for the concept of conditional convergence. The results show that the regions converge towards different levels of productivity but regions that are further from their steady-state level will grow faster.

description: Produce quality is one of the features of any commodity that everyone has an opinion about, but quality is a complex concept. In one hand, quality is the consumer perception about a certain commodity an as well it is a relationship between all the intrinsic attributes of the commodity. It is argued that homogeneous management activities will increase the quality of the commodity. Reducing waste for example, but in a more generic way will reduce the variability of the commodity plus meeting the costumer needs and preferences. In this experimental article we try to disentangle the managerial activities that have an effect on the variability of the quality. For this purpose we have make use of the dispersion statistics such as standard deviation, standard error, deviation coefficient, meta-analysis and a regression analysis. We conducted a survey and collected 51 interviews of different actors in the supply chain of mango from Costa Rica, beside, we collected 10 mangos from each actor interview to analyze the intrinsic attribute of quality. We developed a proxy of quality as the ratio between the brix and the ph. We conclude that quality variability is affected positively related to technologic variations and socio-economic variations. In the case of the mango supply chain from Costa Rica the management differences among actors are dependent on the closeness to the consumer, therefore, actors closer to the consumer have higher variability in their indexes than those close to the production site.

Using the spanning web representation, we find determinantal expressions for various observable quantities. In the limiting case of large lattices, they can be reduced to the calculation of Toeplitz determinants and minors thereof. The probability for the vacancy to be strictly jammed and other diffusion characteristics are computed exactly.

description: Developing country producers face several constraints related to food safety standards imposed by developed countries. The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting export flows with respect to food safety standards; and to measure the effects of food safety standards on exports. This study incorporates a food safety variable in a gravity model. The analysis uses aggregate data for bilateral exports of processed food products, and data for factors affecting bilateral export flows for 17 years on 16 OECD and Asia-Pacific countries. The results show that food product exports are negatively affected by aflatoxin standards. A one percent increase in food safety standards decrease exports by approximately one percent. This means that large changes in food standards (which are common these days) will have salutary, deleterious impacts on food exports by developing countries.

description: The entry price regime in the European Union (EU) applies to several products, mainly fresh fruits and vegetables. The complexity of the system with endogenous applied tariffs makes the evaluation of different alternatives of tariff cuts more challenging than for other regimes. The challenge applies to academics with interest on estimating market impacts, to WTO negotiators that need to evaluate proposals and to policy-makers that may need to take decisions on options such as the declaration of a sensitive product. This paper develops a methodology to compare different tariff cuts alternatives, including the URAA method that implies reductions in the level of the entry price, constant entry price, and Tariff Rate Quotas expansion. Uncertainty about international prices plays a central role on the estimated impacts on market access of different options. Reducing the level of entry prices can have relatively large impacts on market access for some products. The sensitive product treatment with TRQs may generate larger market access than the normal treatment. The proposed methodology proofs to be able to quantify the economic impacts of tariff cuts under EU entry price regime.

description: The structure of water tariffs is attracting the interest of scholars concerned about the efficacy of the present pricing arrangements. However, finding consensus on the 'appropriate' structure of water and wastewater tariffs has proven problematic. In addition, relatively little is understood of the preferences of consumers in this context. This paper reports the findings of a recent study that developed empirical models of consumer preferences for billing structures for urban water use in regional Victoria.

description: Poincaré-invariant quantum field theories can be formulated on non-commutative planes if the coproduct on the Poincaré group is suitably deformed \cite{Dimitrijevic:2004rf, Chaichian:2004za}.(See also especially Oeckl \cite{Oeckl:1999jun},\cite{Oeckl:2000mar} and Grosse et al.\cite{Grosse:2001mar}) As shown in \cite{Balachandran:2005eb}, this important result of these authors implies modification of free field commutation and anti-commutation relations and striking phenomenological consequences such as violations of Pauli principle \cite{Balachandran:2005eb,Bal3}. In this paper we prove that with these modifications, UV-IR mixing disappears to all orders in perturbation theory from the $S$-Matrix. This result is in agreement with the previous results of Oeckl \cite{Oeckl:2000mar}.

description: Based on theoretical spectra computed using Density Functional Theory we study the properties of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH). In particular using bin-average spectra of PAH molecules with varying number of carbons we investigate how the intensity of the mid-infrared emission bands, 3.3, 6.2, 7.7 and 11.3 microns, respond to changes in the number of carbons, charge of the molecule, and the hardness of the radiation field that impinges the molecule. We confirm that the 6.2/7.7 band ratio is a good predictor for the size of the PAH molecule (based on the number of carbons present). We also investigate the efficacy of the 11.3/3.3 ratio to trace the size of PAH molecules and note the dependence of this ratio on the hardness of the radiation field. While the ratio can potentially also be used to trace PAH molecular size, a better understanding of the impact of the underlying radiation field on the 3.3 microns feature and the effect of the extinction on the ratio should be evaluated. The newly developed diagnostics are compared to band ratios measured in a variety of galaxies observed with the Infrared Spectrograph on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. We demonstrate that the band ratios can be used to probe the conditions of the interstellar medium in galaxies and differentiate between environments encountered in normal star forming galaxies and Active Galactic Nuclei. Our work highlights the immense potential that PAH observations with the James Webb Space Telescope will have on our understanding of the PAH emission itself and of the physical conditions in galaxies near and far.

description: In this work, we present general solutions for closely spaced co-rotating helical vortices using a filament approach. For these vortex structures, helical symmetry is broken, but solutions maintain a form of spatial periodicity. We show there exists a moving frame where vortex elements move along the structure without distorting it. These solutions can be used to characterize the evolution of the twin-tip vortices produced in the wake of a tip-splitting rotor blade. The resulting wake has a dual nature. Locally, the structure behaves much like an helical pair aligned with the locally tangent flow. However, as we move away from the vortex structure the induced flow is reminiscent of an 'equivalent' helical vortex with thicker core.

description: We report on non-adiabatic transport through a double quantum dot under irradiation of surface acoustic waves generated on-chip. At low excitation powers, absorption and emission of single and multiple phonons is observed. At higher power, sequential phonon assisted tunneling processes excite the double dot in a highly non-equilibrium state. The present system is attractive for studying electron-phonon interaction with piezoelectric coupling.

description: We establish the Freidlin--Wentzell Large Deviation Principle (LDP) for the Stochastic Heat Equation with multiplicative noise in one spatial dimension. That is, we introduce a small parameter $ \sqrt{\varepsilon} $ to the noise, and establish an LDP for the trajectory of the solution. Such a Freidlin--Wentzell LDP gives the short-time, one-point LDP for the KPZ equation in terms of a variational problem. Analyzing this variational problem under the narrow wedge initial data, we prove a quadratic law for the near-center tail and a $ \frac52 $ law for the deep lower tail. These power laws confirm existing physics predictions Kolokolov and Korshunov (2007), Kolokolov and Korshunov (2009), Meerson, Katzav, and Vilenkin (2016), Le Doussal, Majumdar, Rosso, and Schehr (2016), and Kamenev, Meerson, and Sasorov (2016).
