description: We propose two reactions, $\bar{B}^0 \to K^0 D^{+} K^-$ and $\bar{B}^0 \to K^{*0} D^{*+} K^-$, already measured at Belle, to look into the $J^P=0^+$, $X_0(2866)$ state and a $1^+$ partner of molecular $D^*\bar{K}^*$ nature, by looking at the $D^+ K^-$ and $D^{*+} K^-$ invariant mass distributions, respectively. Very clear peaks over the background are predicted and the branching ratios for the production of these states are evaluated to facilitate the task of determining the needed statistics for their observation. The fact that the $K^{*0} K^-$ mass distribution from accumulation of events of different reactions is already available, indicates that one is not far away from having the needed statistics to see peaks in the $D^{(*)+} K^-$ mass distributions, so far not yet analyzed.

description: Chronic pain is a serious and prevalent condition that can affect many facets of life. However, uncertainty remains regarding the strength of the association between chronic pain and death and whether the association is causal. We investigate the pain–mortality relationship using data from 19,971 participants aged 511 years in the 1998 wave of the U.S. Health and Retirement Study. Propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting are combined with Cox proportional hazards models to investigate whether exposure to chronic pain (moderate or severe) has a causal effect on mortality over a 20-year follow-up period. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are reported. Before adjusting for confounding, we find a strong association between chronic pain and mortality (HR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.26-1.38). After adjusting for confounding by sociodemographic and health variables using a range of propensity score methods, the estimated increase in mortality hazard caused by pain is more modest (5%-9%) and the results are often also compatible with no causal effect (95% CIs for HRs narrowly contain 1.0). This attenuation highlights the role of confounders of the pain–mortality relationship as potentially modifiable upstream risk factors for mortality. Posing the depressive symptoms variable as a mediator rather than a confounder of the pain–mortality relationship resulted in stronger evidence of a modest causal effect of pain on mortality (eg, HR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.01-1.15). Future work is required to model exposure–confounder feedback loops and investigate the potentially cumulative causal effect of chronic pain at multiple time points on mortality.

description: We develop a consistent theory of the interlayer exciton-polaron formed in atomically-thin bilayers. Coulomb attraction between an electron and a hole situated in the different layers results in their flexural deformation and provides an efficient mechanism of the exciton coupling with flexural phonons. We study the effect of layers tension on the polaron binding energy and effective mass leading to suppression of polaron formation by the tension both in the weak and strong coupling regimes. We also consider the role of the nonlinearity related to the interaction between the out- and in-plane lattice displacements and obtain the criterion of the layer sticking, where the exciton collapses, due to the Coulomb attraction between the charge carriers.

description: In an era characterized by unprecedented climate change, comprehending the role of aerosols in climate dynamics has become essential to reduce uncertainties in future climate projections. While anthropogenic aerosols have received substantial attention, the contributions of natural dust aerosols to climate have been overlooked, primarily due to their distinct temporal scales and origins. Dust aerosols impact climate anomalies through their absorption/scattering of solar radiation and acting as cloud condensation nuclei or ice nuclei. Moreover, dust events in the atmosphere are a complex atmospheric phenomenon influenced by a combination of climate changes, land cover alterations, and land use changes. This study endeavors to address critical knowledge gaps by enhancing our understanding of dust-climate interactions and associated feedback mechanisms. Using the Community Earth System Model (CESM), a series of experiments were conducted to explore the sensitivity of climate systems to varying global dust emissions. The findings illuminate profound effects on atmospheric circulation patterns, encompassing notable shifts in the Walker Circulation and teleconnections to distant regions. Particularly noteworthy is the revelation that changes in dust emissions wield influence over tropical meteorological phenomena, including the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), thereby suggesting potential implications for regional climates. Furthermore, this study delves into the linearity of regional and global climate responses to dust. While regions characterized by substantial dust concentrations exhibit some linearity in response to increased dust emissions, non-adjacent areas demonstrate complex responses primarily driven by large-scale circulation patterns rather than direct dust aerosol effects. To gain insights into past dust impacts, paleo-dust simulations, particularly for the mid-Holocene period, were analyzed. Previous studies of paleoclimate dust records have unveiled that dust levels fluctuated under the influence of a variety of factors. This study extends this paleoclimate perspective to the Asian summer monsoon, revealing that reductions in Saharan dust offset the beneficial effects of the vegetated Sahara on the Indian summer monsoon, resulting in drought conditions in specific regions. This study contributes to the broader understanding of dust-climate interactions and their implications for past and future climate scenarios. By addressing these knowledge gaps, this study strives to provide a more comprehensive perspective on the role of dust in shaping our climate’s past and future trajectories.
The “Magic” of Matter: Ana Mendieta and the New Materialisms

description: The work of Ana Mendieta has much to teach us about our current relationship with our natural environment. While traditionally brought into discussions of feminist or postcolonial histories of the late-20th century, Mendieta’s oeuvre also represents a personal connection the land. By making use of her own body in her work and situating her performances and installations outdoors, Mendieta explored points where the binary between the human and nonhuman breaks down. This exploration adds depth to new understandings of matter, the embeddedness of humans within nonhuman nature, and human embodiment. By considering Mendieta’s work in the context of contemporary changes in theory, which focus on materiality as essential to an understanding of our current time (loosely grouped under the term New Materialisms), I hope to resurface Mendieta’s work as immediately relevant in the 21st century and to cement her place in histories of ecologically-minded artwork of the postwar period.

description: Technology diffusion and spillovers are key drivers of both innovation and economic growth.
This paper examines the role of obtaining initial intellectual property rights on international
knowledge flows, specifically through technological entrants into the United States. We find
causal evidence that a foreign technological entrant’s initial patent grant in a host country increases the likelihood of cross-border knowledge flows, measured using forward patent citations,
to local U.S. firms and other patenting entities by 29.4 percent. Initial intellectual property
rights appear to mitigate impediments to cross-border knowledge flows, the benefits of which
outweigh frictions arising from the exclusionary nature of the patents. Consistent with the prior
literature on the determinants of international knowledge flows, an initial patent grant leads to
an entrant’s sustained technological presence in the host country, increasing the probability of
at least one subsequent local patent filing at the USPTO by up to thirty percent within five
years. These effects, however, do not appear to be driven by an appropriation mechanism for
existing technologies—or inventions already filed in other countries at the time of the initial
decision. Finally, we find that the effects of an initial patent grant are heterogeneous based on
the entrant’s country of origin and the invention type.

The role of transaction costs in strengthening agricultural market linkages to achieve higher welfare in Tanzania
Creators: name: Bueno Rezende De Castro, André
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Bonn
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: ddc:330

description: Small-scale farmers (SSFs) have high levels of food insecurity and poor nutrition that are reflections of the still high prevalent poverty rates. Semi-subsistence smallholder farming is still predominant in many parts of the developing world and is characterized by severe transaction costs that thwart market access and hinder the improvement of livelihoods. The stark differences in living standards between least developed countries (LDCs) and richer countries are explained by productivity differentials at the frontier, which are pronounced in the agricultural sector. The conceptual framework of this dissertation focused on the role played by high transaction costs in keeping agricultural productivity low and how participation in more sophisticated forms of market access can address this developmental issue. This framework was empirically studied in three analytical chapters exploring different ways whereby improved market access cut transaction costs. The second chapter considered two main groups of vertical market linkages (VMLs) and found positive effects of maize SSFs integration into VMLs on household welfare. Using representative panel data from Tanzania it was found that VMLs centered on agro-processing (AP) firms had larger and more robust effect magnitudes than VMLs centered on cooperatives and informal markets. The third chapter used cross-sectional data collected during fieldwork in Tanzania to explore the connections between SSFs and the AP sector in the form of contract farming (CF): farmers’ output and food security increased by 0.13 and 0.4 standard deviations, respectively. Additionally, CF schemes in the cashew nuts sector improve the supply of raw materials to processors thus stimulating an AP-based industrialization. The last analytical chapter shifted the focus from the rural economy to an analysis using cross-country panel data. It studied how the digitalization of customs and border procedures reduces transaction costs, therefore increasing bilateral agrifood trade by at least 9%, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. The main contribution of this dissertation to the fields of agricultural and developmental economics is to bridge the gap of empirical studies analyzing the key role that persistently high transaction costs have on thwarting improved market access and, consequently, slowing down rural development. Based on the empirical results, we conclude by providing targeted policy recommendations.

description: Playing the Villain argues that the portrayal and punishment of terrorists in the Western media perpetuates colonialist attitudes, due to the visual connections between these modern images and past or fictional representations of iconic, punished villains. A theory of scapegoating related to intervisuality supports this argument, by explaining that as a ritual dependent on and developed by cultural history and mythology, scapegoating requires engagement with recognisable visual motifs that repeat and perpetuate Western, colonialist attitudes. Underlying, repeated narrative patterns ensure that the scapegoating ritual functions in a way that is cathartic and builds national unity following social crisis. This need for catharsis requires that there be a scapegoated villain whose demise may be celebrated, and that the villain is objectified and fetishised through visual representation and spectacle.

description: Bogoliubov Theory provides important predictions for the low energy properties of the weakly interacting Bose gas. Recently, Bogoliubov's predictions could be justified rigorously in \cite{BBCS3} for translation invariant systems in the Gross-Pitaveskii regime, where $N$ bosons in $Λ= [0;1]^3\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ interact through a potential whose scattering length is of size $ N^{-1}$. In this note, we review recent results from \cite{BSS2}, a joint work with B. Schlein and S. Schraven, which extends the analysis of \cite{BBCS3} to systems of bosons in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that are trapped by an external potential.

An empirical consistent redshift bias: A possible direct reproducible observation of Zwicky's TL theory

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: Recent advancements have shown tensions between observations and our current understanding of the Universe. Such observations may include the $H_o$ tension and massive galaxies at high redshifts that are older than what traditional galaxy formation models predicted. Since these observations are based on the redshift as the primary distance indicator, a bias in the redshift may explain these tensions. While the redshift follows an established model, when applied to astronomy it is based on the assumption that the rotational velocity of the Milky Way galaxy relative to the observed galaxies has a negligible effect on the redshift. But given the mysterious nature of the physics of galaxy rotation, that assumption should be tested. The test is done by comparing the redshift of galaxies rotating in the same direction relative to the Milky Way to the redshift of galaxies rotating in the opposite direction relative to the Milky Way. The results show that the mean redshift of galaxies that rotate in the same direction relative to the Milky Way is higher than the mean redshift of galaxies that rotate in the opposite direction. Additionally, the redshift difference becomes larger as the redshift gets higher. The consistency of the analysis was verified by comparing data collected by three different telescopes, annotated using four different methods, released by three different research teams, and cover both the Northern and Southern ends of the galactic pole. All datasets are in excellent agreement with each other, showing consistency in the observed redshift bias. Given the "reproducibility crisis" in science, all datasets used in this study are publicly available, and the results can be easily reproduced. The observation could be a first direct empirical reproducible observation for the Zwicky's "tired-light" model.

description: Eigenvectors of the reduced Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Hamiltonian, Richardson-Gaudin (RG) states, are used as a variational wavefunction Ansatz for strongly-correlated electronic systems. These states are geminal products whose coefficients are solutions of non-linear equations. Previous results showed un-physical behaviour but in this contribution it is shown that with only the variational solution for the ground state, all the seniority-zero states are quite well approximated. The difficulty is in choosing the correct RG state. The systems studied showed a clear choice and we expect it should always be possible to reason physically which state to choose.

description: For testing different electron temperature ($T_{\rm e}$) prescriptions in general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulations through observations, we propose to utilize linear polarization (LP) and circular polarization (CP) images. We calculate the polarization images based on a semi-Magnetically Arrested Disk (MAD) GRMHD model for various $T_{\rm e}$ parameters, bearing M87 in mind. We find an LP-CP separation in the images of the low-$T_{\rm e}$ disk cases at 230 GHz; namely, the LP flux mainly originates from downstream of the jet and the CP flux comes from the counter-side jet, while the total intensity is maximum at the jet base. This can be understood as follows: although the LP flux is generated through synchrotron emission widely around the black hole, most of the LP flux from the jet base does not reach the observer, since it undergoes Faraday rotation ($\propto T_{\rm e}^{-2}$) when passing through the outer cold disk and is thus depolarized. Hence, only the LP flux from the downstream (not passing the cold dense plasmas) can survive. Meanwhile, the CP flux is generated from the LP flux by Faraday conversion ($\propto T_{\rm e}$) in the inner hot region. Stronger CP flux is thus observed from the counter-side jet. Moreover, the LP-CP separation is more enhanced at a lower frequency such as 86 GHz but is rather weak at 43 GHz, since the media in the latter case is optically thick for synchrotron self-absorption so that all the fluxes should come from the photosphere. The same is true for cases with higher mass accretion rates and/or larger inclination angles.

description: The magnetoelectric effect and skyrmions are two fundamental phenomena in the field of condensed-matter physics. Here, using first-principles calculations and Monte-Carlo simulations, we propose that strong magnetoelectric coupling can be demonstrated in a multiferroic heterobilayer consisting of two-dimensional (2D) MnSTe and α-In2Se3. As the electric polarization in ferroelectric α-In2Se3 is switched, the creation and annihilation of topological magnetic phase can be achieved in this multiferroic heterobilayer, giving rise to the intriguing ferroelectrically controllable skyrmions. This feature is further revealed to be closely related to the physical quantity of D2/|KJ|, which is generally applicable for describing the required conditions of such physics. Moreover, the evaluations of their topological magnetic phases with temperature are systematically discussed. These insights not only greatly enrich the research on 2D magnetoelectric multiferroics, but also pave a promising avenue to realize new skyrmionic device concepts.

description: Embedding-based neural retrieval (EBR) is an effective search retrieval method in product search for tackling the vocabulary gap between customer search queries and products. The initial launch of our EBR system at Walmart yielded significant gains in relevance and add-to-cart rates [1]. However, despite EBR generally retrieving more relevant products for reranking, we have observed numerous instances of relevance degradation. Enhancing retrieval performance is crucial, as it directly influences product reranking and affects the customer shopping experience. Factors contributing to these degradations include false positives/negatives in the training data and the inability to handle query misspellings. To address these issues, we present several approaches to further strengthen the capabilities of our EBR model in terms of retrieval relevance. We introduce a Relevance Reward Model (RRM) based on human relevance feedback. We utilize RRM to remove noise from the training data and distill it into our EBR model through a multi-objective loss. In addition, we present the techniques to increase the performance of our EBR model, such as typo-aware training, and semi-positive generation. The effectiveness of our EBR is demonstrated through offline relevance evaluation, online AB tests, and successful deployments to live production.

description: The color transparency (CT) of a hadron, propagating with reduced absorption in a nucleus, is a fundamental property of QCD (quantum chromodynamics) reflecting its internal structure and effective size when it is produced at high transverse momentum, $Q$. CT has been confirmed in many experiments, such as semi-exclusive hard electroproduction, $e A \to e' πX$ for mesons produced at $Q^2 > 3 ~ {\rm GeV}^2$. However, a recent JLab (Jefferson Laboratory) measurement for a proton electroproduced in carbon $e\, {\rm C}\to e' p X$, where $X$ stands for the inclusive sum of all produced final states, fails to observe CT at $Q^2$ up to 14.2 GeV$^2$. In this paper, the onset of CT is determined by comparing the $Q^2$-dependence of the hadronic cross sections for the initial formation of a small color-singlet configuration using the generalized parton distributions from holographic light-front QCD. A critical dependence on the hadron's twist, $τ$, the number of hadron constituents, is found for the onset of CT, with no significant effects from the nuclear medium. This effect can explain the absence of proton CT in the present kinematic range of the JLab experiment. The proton is predicted to have a "two-stage" color transparency with the onset of CT differing for the spin-conserving (twist-3, $τ=3$) Dirac form factor with a higher onset in $Q^2$ for the spin-flip Pauli (twist-4) form factor. In contrast, the neutron is predicted to have a "one-stage" color transparency with the onset at higher $Q^2$ because of the dominance of its Pauli form factor. The model also predicts a strong dependence at low energies on the flavor of the quark current coupling to the hadron.

description: Fabry-Pérot interferometry has emerged as a tool to probe anyon statistics in the quantum Hall effect. The interference phase is interpreted as a combination of a quantized statistical phase and an Aharonov-Bohm phase, proportional to the device area and the charge of the anyons propagating along the device edge. This interpretation faces two challenges. First, the edge states have a finite width and hence the device area is ill-defined. Second, multiple localized anyons may be present in states that overlap with the edge, and it may not be clear whether a second anyon traveling along the edge will go inside or outside the region with a localized anyon and therefore whether or not it should pick up a statistical phase. We show how one may overcome both challenges. In a case where only one chiral edge mode passes through the constrictions defining the interferometer, as when electrons in a constriction are in a Laughlin state with $ν=1/(2n+1)$ or the integer state at $ν=1$, we show that the interference phase can be directly related to the total electron charge contained in the interferometer. This holds for arbitrary electron-electron interactions and holds even if the bulk of the interferometer has a higher electron density than the region of the constrictions. In contrast to the device area or to the number of anyons inside a propagating edge channel, the total charge is well-defined. We examine, at the microscopic level, how the relation between charge and phase is maintained when there is a soft confining potential and disorder near the edge of the interferometer, and we discuss briefly the complications that can occur when multiple chiral modes can pass through the constriction.

description: Impulsive short term variations occur in all kinds of solar-type stars. They are the results of complex phenomena such as the stellar magnetic field reconnection, low-level variability or in some cases even star-planet interactions. The radiation arising from these events is often highly energetic and, in stars hosting planets, may interact with the planetary atmospheres. Studying the rate of these energetic phenomena is fundamental to understand their role in modifying the chemical composition or, in some extreme cases, to the disruption of the planetary atmospheres. Here, we present a new procedure developed to identify the impulsive events in TESS light curves. Our goal is to have a simple and effective tool to study the short-term activity of a star using only its light curve, in order to derive its distribution and energetic. As our first case, we studied the system DS Tuc. Our technique consists of fitting the TESS light curves using iteratively Gaussian processes in order to remove all the long-term stellar activity contributions. Then, we identify the impulsive events and, derive amplitudes, time scales and the amount of energy emitted. We validate our procedure using the AU Mic TESS light curves obtaining results consistent with those presented in the literature. We estimate the frequency distribution of energetic events for DS Tuc. In particular, we find that there are approx 2 events per day with energy greater than 2x10^32 erg. We find evidence for a favoured stellar phase for short term activity on AU Mic, and also indications of short term activity in phase with the planetary orbit. For DS Tuc we find that the events distribution is not equally spaced in time but often grouped. The resulting distribution may be used to estimate the impact of short term variability on planetary atmosphere chemical compositions.

description: For studies of the long-term evolution of small Solar System objects, it is fundamental to add the Yarkovsky and Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effects in the dynamical model. Still, implementations of these effects in publicly available N-body codes are often lacking, or the effects are implemented using significantly simplified models. In this paper, we present an implementation of the coupled Yarkovsky/YORP effects in the mercury and OrbFit $N$-body codes. Along with these two effects, we also included the effects of non-destructive collisions and rotationally induced breakups to model the asteroid spin state properly. Given the stochastic nature of many incorporated effects, the software is suitable for statistical dynamical studies. Here we explained the scientific aspect of the implementation, while technical details will be made freely available along with the source codes.

description: Acrylic is a popular structural material in experiments requiring low background because of its radio-purity, machinability, and mechanical strength. However, its porosity may cause significant gas absorption and influence the detector stability in the long term. The interaction between acrylic and other detector materials becomes one of the key concerns in the detector design. In this paper, we carry out an experiment to measure quantitatively the absorption process of high-pressure xenon gas into acrylic. A specific setup is designed for the measurement, and systematic measurements are done to obtain a result of the absorption amount: 0.98 g xenon into 332 g of acrylic.

description: Mean-Field Control (MFC) is a powerful tool to solve Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) problems. Recent studies have shown that MFC can well-approximate MARL when the population size is large and the agents are exchangeable. Unfortunately, the presumption of exchangeability implies that all agents uniformly interact with one another which is not true in many practical scenarios. In this article, we relax the assumption of exchangeability and model the interaction between agents via an arbitrary doubly stochastic matrix. As a result, in our framework, the mean-field `seen' by different agents are different. We prove that, if the reward of each agent is an affine function of the mean-field seen by that agent, then one can approximate such a non-uniform MARL problem via its associated MFC problem within an error of $e=\mathcal{O}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}[\sqrt{|\mathcal{X}|} + \sqrt{|\mathcal{U}|}])$ where $N$ is the population size and $|\mathcal{X}|$, $|\mathcal{U}|$ are the sizes of state and action spaces respectively. Finally, we develop a Natural Policy Gradient (NPG) algorithm that can provide a solution to the non-uniform MARL with an error $\mathcal{O}(\max\{e,ε\})$ and a sample complexity of $\mathcal{O}(ε^{-3})$ for any $ε>0$.

description: We study the energy or TMD evolution of the three leading twist dipole type T-odd gluon TMDs inside a transversely polarized nucleon, all of which at small $x$ dynamically originate from the spin dependent odderon. Their energy dependence presents a unique opportunity to study the polarization dependent TMD evolution in the small-$x$ region, where the distributions are identical up to a normalization constant at tree level. We further propose to study their evolution via azimuthal asymmetries in virtual photon-jet production in polarized proton-proton collisions at RHIC. We present model predictions for the asymmetries as functions of the large jet or photon transverse momentum and $Q^2$ which set the hard scales in this process.

description: The cubic spinel FeCr2S4 has been receiving immense research interest because of its emergent phases and the interplay of spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom. Despite the intense research, several fundamental questions are yet to be answered, such as the refinement of the crystal structure in the different magnetic and orbital ordered phases. Here, using high-resolution synchrotron powder diffraction on stoichiometric crystals of FeCr2S4 we resolved the long sought-after cubic to tetragonal transition at ~65 K, reducing the lattice symmetry to I41/amd. With further lowering the temperature, at ~9 K, the crystal structure becomes polar, hence the compound becomes multiferroic. The elucidation of the lattice symmetry throughout different phases of FeCr2S4 provides a basis for the understanding this enigmatic system and also highlights the importance of structural deformation in correlated materials.

description: We present developments and applications for the diagonalization of shell-model hamiltonians in a discrete non-orthogonal basis (DNO-SM). The method, and its actual numerical implementation CARINA, based on mean-field and beyond-mean field techniques has already been applied in previous studies and is focused on basis states selection optimization. The method is benchmarked against a full set of $sd$ shell exact diagonalizations, and is applied for the first time to the heavy deformed $^{254}$No nucleus.
