description: The binary confusion noise spectrum at LISA band depends strongly on observational period and abundance of Galactic close white dwarf binaries (CWDBs). We have investigated how the number of the resolved Galactic CWDBs varies with operation period of LISA, and found that the resolved number would typically grows by a factor of 5 when the operation period increases from 1yr to 10yr. We have also made a similar estimation for number of CWDBs whose chirp signal can be measured in matched filtering analysis.

description: Modeling fast solar wind based on the kinetic theory is an important task for scientists. In this paper, we present a two-fluid model for fast solar wind with anisotropic Kappa-Maxwellian electrons and Bi-Maxwellian protons. In the simulation, the energy exchange between the plasma particles and low-frequency Alfvén waves is considered. A set of eleven coupled equations is derived by applying the zeroth- to fourth-order moments of the Vlasov equation and the modified electromagnetic Maxwell equations. A characteristic of the Kappa distribution (indicated by $κ$ index) is explicit in the equation for the parallel component of the electron heat flux (parallel to the ambient magnetic field line) and differs from the equation derived for the proton heat flux due to the different nature of the distributions. Within the large $κ$ index, the equations for the two-fluid model tend to the equations obtained by the Maxwellian distribution. Using an iterated Crank-Nicolson method, the coupled equations are numerically solved for the fast solar wind conditions. We show that at (0.3 - 1) AU from the Sun, the electron density, components of temperature, and components of heat flux follow the power-law behavior. We also showed that near the Earth, the flow speed (electron or proton) increases with decreasing $κ$. We concluded that applying the small $κ$ index (the non-Maxwellian distribution), the extraordinary nature of the solar atmosphere, with its temperature of several million kelvin temperature for electrons, has been captured.

description: We extend to finite elasticity the Data-Driven formulation of geometrically linear elasticity presented in Conti, Müller, Ortiz, Arch.\ Ration.\ Mech.\ Anal.\ 229, 79-123, 2018. The main focus of this paper concerns the formulation of a suitable framework in which the Data-Driven problem of finite elasticity is well-posed in the sense of existence of solutions. We confine attention to deformation gradients $F \in L^p(Ω;\mathbb{R}^{n\times n})$ and first Piola-Kirchhoff stresses $P \in L^q(Ω;\mathbb{R}^{n\times n})$, with $(p,q)\in(1,\infty)$ and $1/p+1/q=1$. We assume that the material behavior is described by means of a material data set containing all the states $(F,P)$ that can be attained by the material, and develop germane notions of coercivity and closedness of the material data set. Within this framework, we put forth conditions ensuring the existence of solutions. We exhibit specific examples of two- and three-dimensional material data sets that fit the present setting and are compatible with material frame indifference.

description: Many developing countries are experiencing a food system transformation with a rapid growth of supermarkets. Research has shown that smallholder farmers can benefit from supplying supermarkets in terms of higher productivity and income. Here, we analyze impacts on farm household nutrition. Building on data from vegetable farmers in Kenya, we show that participation in supermarket channels has sizeable positive effects: calorie, vitamin A, iron, and zinc consumption are all increased by 15% or more. We also analyze impact pathways, using simultaneous equation models. Supermarket-supplying households have higher incomes, a higher share of land under vegetables, and a higher likelihood of male control of revenues. Furthermore, income and the share of land under vegetables have positive impacts, while male control of revenues has negative impacts on dietary quality. The total nutrition effects of supermarket participation could be even more positive if women were able to keep their control over farm revenues in the process of commercialization. The methods developed and used may also be useful for other impact studies to better understand agriculture-nutrition linkages.

At first these species were thought to represent a new genus since they are so distinct from other Tortricoid species, but thanks to Leif Aarvik (pers. comm.) they were recognized as belonging to this genus, formerly known only from America (Gilligan 2007).
These are comparatively large Tortricid moths with a distinctive wing shape, having a slightly sinuate termen. Head having labial palpus clothed with dense scales; proboscis short. Male genitalia very distinctive. Wing venation is shown in Figure 6. Fore wing with sinuate termen.
Male genitalia are strongly sclerotized, uncus bifid, valva reduced to a curved filament, sacculus large and heavily sclerotized, asymmetrical, aedeagus long, strong and curved.
 Female genitalia with a pair of signa in the corpus bursae, usually shaped so that each has a right-angled cross section. The funnel-shaped antrum (sterigma sensu Horak (2006)) is also characteristic.
 Life history
 The three known species have larvae living within domatia of Acacia spp.; it is likely that they are obligate domatium feeders.
Dr Marianne Horak (pers. comm.) advises that this genus belongs to the tribe Enarmoniini.

It is a random process on $\{0, 1, \ldots \}$ with unbounded memory which exhibits subdiffusive, diffusive and superdiffusive regimes. We prove the law of large numbers for the whole parameter set. Then we prove the central limit theorem and the law of the iterated logarithm for the minimal random walk under diffusive and marginally superdiffusive behaviors. More interestingly, we establish a result for the minimal random walk when it possesses the three regimes; we show the convergence of its rescaled version to a non-normal random variable.

description: Previous studies on preferences for redistribution have shown that even though information on inequality changes concerns about inequality, it barely changes redistributive preferences. In an online experiment, we challenge previous results by showing US citizens a short video with facts on both inequality and social mobility and test the impact on different redistributive policies. Information on inequality of outcomes increases consensus on a more progressive tax system, whereas information on lack of equal opportunities increases participants’ preferences for redistribution via fiscal spending. Both informational treatments have a stronger impact when participants also learn that higher inequality is not a necessary part of economic development. All informational treatments have a stronger impact for citizens, who underestimate the current level of inequality and trust the government.

description: We present an open-loop (bang-bang) scheme which drives an open two-level quantum system to any target state, while maintaining quantum coherence throughout the process. The control is illustrated by a realistic simulation for both adiabatic and thermal decoherence. In the thermal decoherence regime, the control achieved by the proposed scheme is qualitatively similar, at the ensemble level, to the control realized by the quantum feedback scheme of Wang, Wiseman, and Milburn [Phys. Rev. A 64, #063810 (2001)] for the spontaneous emission of a two-level atom. The performance of the open-loop scheme compares favorably against the quantum feedback scheme with respect to robustness, target fidelity and transition times.

description: This article is meant to serve as a guide to recent developments in the study of the scaling limit of critical models. These new developments were made possible through the definition of the Stochastic Loewner Evolution (SLE) by Oded Schramm. This article opens with a discussion of Loewner's method, explaining how this method can be used to describe families of random curves. Then we define SLE and discuss some of its properties. We also explain how the connection can be made between SLE and the discrete models whose scaling limits it describes, or is believed to describe. Finally, we have included a discussion of results that were obtained from SLE computations. Some explicit proofs are presented as typical examples of such computations. To understand SLE sufficient knowledge of conformal mapping theory and stochastic calculus is required. This material is covered in the appendices.

description: We discuss the possibility to predict the QCD axion mass in the context of grand unified theories. We investigate the implementation of the DFSZ mechanism in the context of renormalizable SU(5) theories. In the simplest theory, the axion mass can be predicted with good precision in the range $m_a = (2-16)$ neV, and there is a strong correlation between the predictions for the axion mass and proton decay rates. In this context, we predict an upper bound for the proton decay channels with antineutrinos, $τ(p\to K^+ \barν) \lesssim 4 \times 10^{37} \text{ yr}$ and $τ(p \to π^+ \barν) \lesssim 2 \times 10^{36}\text{ yr}$. This theory can be considered as the minimal realistic grand unified theory with the DFSZ mechanism and it can be fully tested by proton decay and axion experiments.

description: A constant-time solution of the continuous Global Optimization Problem (GOP) is obtained by using an ensemble algorithm. We show that under certain assumptions, the solution can be guaranteed by mapping the GOP onto a discrete unsorted search problem, whereupon Bruschweiler's ensemble search algorithm is applied. For adequate sensitivities of the measurement technique, the query complexity of the ensemble search algorithm depends linearly on the size of the function's domain. Advantages and limitations of an eventual NMR implementation are discussed.

description: The galaxy cluster Zwicky 3146 is a sloshing cool core cluster at $z=0.291$ that in X-ray imaging does not appear to exhibit significant pressure substructure in the intracluster medium (ICM). The published $M_{500}$ values range between $3.88^{+0.62}_{-0.58}$ to $22.50 \pm 7.58 \times 10^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$, where ICM-based estimates with reported errors $<20$\% suggest that we should expect to find a mass between $6.53^{+0.44}_{-0.44} \times 10^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$ (from Planck, with an $8.4σ$ detection) and $8.52^{+1.77}_{-1.47} \times 10^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$ (from ACT, with a $14σ$ detection). This broad range of masses is suggestive that there is ample room for improvement for all methods. Here, we investigate the ability to estimate the mass of Zwicky 3146 via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect with data taken at 90 GHz by MUSTANG-2 to a noise level better than $15\ μ$K at the center, and a cluster detection of $104σ$. We derive a pressure profile from our SZ data which is in excellent agreement with that derived from X-ray data. From our SZ-derived pressure profiles, we infer $M_{500}$ and $M_{2500}$ via three methods -- $Y$-$M$ scaling relations, the virial theorem, and hydrostatic equilibrium -- where we employ X-ray constraints from \emph{XMM-Newton} on the electron density profile when assuming hydrostatic equilibrium. Depending on the model and estimation method, our $M_{500}$ estimates range from $6.23 \pm 0.59$ to $10.6 \pm 0.95 \times 10^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$, where our estimate from hydrostatic equilibrium, is $8.29^{+1.93}_{-1.24}$ ($\pm 19.1$\% stat) ${}^{+0.74}_{-0.68}$ ($\pm 8.6$\% sys, calibration) $\times 10^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$. Our fiducial mass, derived from a $Y$-$M$ relation is $8.16^{+0.44}_{-0.54}$ ($\pm 5.5$\% stat) ${}^{+0.46}_{-0.43}$ ($\pm 5.5$\% sys, $Y$-$M$) ${}^{+0.59}_{-0.55}$ ($\pm 7.0$\% sys, cal.) $\times 10^{14}$ M$_{\odot}$.

description: This study aimed at examining morphological processing mechanisms involved in lexical access across the lifespan in the morphologically complex Russian language. We conducted an unprimed lexical decision experiment using number-dominant nouns in participants of a wide age range (n = 190, 9–87 years old), analysing age as a continuous factor. Additionally, we tested whether morphological processing mechanisms are affected by a linguistic factor – the type of plural formation. The results revealed no age-related change in morphological processing mechanisms in Russian: the processing mechanisms were consistent with the dual-route models across the lifespan. This suggests that morphological processing mechanisms are stable across the lifespan even in a morphologically complex language like Russian. Null effects of the type of plural formation provide evidence in favour of a special status of citation forms.

description: Illicit financial flows (IFFs) associated with commodity trade erode the tax base of resource-rich developing countries. Efforts to curb IFFs and reform taxation stumble over enhanced North–South tensions but remain crucial to helping poorer countries mobilise domestic resources for development. The 17th volume of International Development Policy examines this key part of the wider agenda to restore trust in the multilateral system, calling for a more transparent, effective and equitable trade and tax framework. Based on a six-year multidisciplinary research project encompassing academic institutions in commodity exporting and trading countries, its 24 authors offer a mix of theoretical and empirical contributions and discuss findings of macro- and micro-level studies. The book sheds new light on issues such as addressing push and pull factors through domestic and international policy measures, the preferences of key stakeholders for short-term fixes versus long-term policy reforms, and prescriptive approaches and other options to address tax base erosion in resource-rich developing countries.

increase lending capacity.
Two types of investor are being sought: i) commercial investors; and 
ii) government shareholders and non-profits. 
A clear definition of the triggers that would lead investors to lose their 
investment is critical to viable hybrids. 
Hybrid capital has financial and governance trade-offs that need to 
be evaluated in relation to other capital adequacy reforms to increase 
lending capacity. 
Hybrid capital is not a substitute for the core shareholder capital

description: The NY-Ålesund TurbulencE Fiber Optic eXperiment (NYTEFOX) was a field experiment at the Ny-Ålesund Arctic site (78.9◦ N, 11.9◦ E) and yielded a unique meteorological data set. These data describe the distribution of heat, airflows, and exchange in the Arctic boundary layer for a period of 14 d from 26 February to 10 March 2020. NYTEFOX is the first field experiment to investigate the heterogeneity of airflow and its transport of temperature, wind, and kinetic energy in the Arctic environment using the fiber-optic distributed sensing (FODS) technique for horizontal and vertical observations. FODS air temperature and wind speed were observed at a spatial resolution of 0.127m and a temporal resolution of 9 s along a 700m horizontal array at 1m above ground level (a.g.l.) and along three 7m vertical profiles. Ancillary data were collected from three sonic anemometers and an acoustic profiler (minisodar; sodar is an acronym for “sound detection and ranging”) yielding turbulent flow statistics and vertical profiles in the lowest 300m a.g.l., respectively. The observations from this field campaign are publicly available on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4756836, Huss et al., 2021) and supplement the meteorological data set operationally collected by the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard.

description: Recently, Belle Collaboration reported a new exotic state $Y(4620)$ with mass at 4625.9 MeV in the positronium annihilation process. Inspired by experiment, we study the tetraquark system $c\bar{s}s\bar{c}$ with quantum numbers $J^{P}=1^{-}$ in the framework of chiral constituent quark model with the help of Gaussian expansion method. Two structures, diquark-antidiquark and meson-meson, with all possible color and spin configurations are considered. The result shows that no bound state can be formed. To investigate the possible resonance states, the real scaling method is employed. Several resonance states with energies 4354, 4408, 4469, 4497 and 4531 MeV, are proposed. Taking into account the errors in calculating the $q\bar{q}$ mesons, the system errors in the calculation of four-quark system are around 60$\sim 100$ MeV. The resonance with energy 4531 MeV is possible the candidate of the newly found state $Y(4620)$.

description: We study numerically the evolution of spactime, and in particular of a spacetime singularity, inside a black hole under a class of perturbations of non-compact support. We use a very simplified toy model of a spherical charged black hole which is perturbed nonlinearly by a self-gravitating, spherical scalar field. The latter grows logarithmically with advanced time along an outgoing characteristic hypersurface. We find that for that class of perturbations a portion of the Cauchy horizon survives as a non-central, null singularity.

description: This paper constructs a theoretical framework of consumers’ label-choosing and self-protection behaviors when meeting their demand for food safety. With data collected from a survey on vegetable consumers in Beijing, we employ a bivariate Tobit model to make empirical analyses. The results show that knowledge and non-wage income have positive effects on promoting consumers’ label-choosing and self-protection behaviors. Self-protection, compared to label-choosing is relatively more labor intensive, thus a higher wage rate will result a lower level of self-protection behavior due to relatively higher opportunity costs. Additionally, consumers of different ages will choose different ways to pursue food safety. The younger are inclined to purchasing more labeled vegetables while the elder tend to conduct a higher level of self-protection behavior.

description: The paper examines the economic effects of labeling of food nanotechnology products using an analytical framework of heterogeneous consumers and imperfectly competitive suppliers. Labeling results in increased costs for nanofood producers that in turn increase nanofood prices and reduce their market demand; the cost effect of the labeling policy. Labeling also affects consumer preferences, the preference effect, by reducing uncertainty regarding the nature of the food product (certainty effect), and by potentially being perceived as a warning signal (stigma effect). The market and welfare impacts of nanofood labeling depend on which of the above effects dominate. If consumer aversion towards food nanotechnology increases due to labeling, nanofood suppliers incur losses to the benefit of suppliers of conventional and organic food substitutes and welfare decreases for most of consumers. Consumers who experience greater losses are those with relatively high aversion to interventions in the production process. On the other hand, if the labeling regime results in consumers becoming less averse to food nanotechnology and the preference effect dominates the cost effect, then nanofood suppliers see their profits increase. The economic impacts of nanofood labeling are intensified when consumers have low awareness of food nanotechnology prior to the implementation of the labeling policy and/or when competition among food suppliers is more intense.

description: Social media platforms and online forums generate rapid and increasing amount of textual data. Businesses, government agencies, and media organizations seek to perform sentiment analysis on this rich text data. The results of these analytics are used for adapting marketing strategies, customizing products, security and various other decision makings. Sentiment analysis has been extensively studied and various methods have been developed for it with great success. These methods, however apply to texts written in a specific language. This limits applicability to a limited demographic and a specific geographic region. In this paper we propose a general approach for sentiment analysis on data containing texts from multiple languages. This enables all the applications to utilize the results of sentiment analysis in a language oblivious or language-independent fashion.

description: Natural communication between interlocutors is enabled by the ability to predict upcoming speech in a given context. Previously we showed that these predictions rely on a fronto-motor top-down control of low-frequency oscillations in auditory-temporal brain areas that track intelligible speech. However, a comprehensive spatio-temporal characterisation of this effect is still missing. Here, we applied transfer entropy to source-localised MEG data during continuous speech perception. First, at low frequencies (1–4 Hz, brain delta phase to speech delta phase), predictive effects start in left fronto-motor regions and progress to right temporal regions. Second, at higher frequencies (14–18 Hz, brain beta power to speech delta phase), predictive patterns show a transition from left inferior frontal gyrus via left precentral gyrus to left primary auditory areas. Our results suggest a progression of prediction processes from higher-order to early sensory areas in at least two different frequency channels.
Revealing laser-coherent electron features using phase-of-the-phase spectroscopy

description: Phase-of-the-phase (PoP) spectroscopy is extended to two-color laser fields having a circularly counter-rotating polarization. In particular, the higher harmonics of the (two-color) phase information are analyzed in order to extract the laser-coherent part of the photoelectron spectra taken under complex target conditions. We illustrate this with a proof-of-principle simulation by considering strong-field electron emission from argon atoms within helium nanodroplets under realistic experimental conditions, i.e., a limited number of photoemission events. Multiple elastic scattering on neutral helium atoms creates a laser-incoherent background, but the higher harmonics of the PoP-signal allow to resolve the coherent contribution to the photoemission.

description: The objective of the study is twofold: first, to investigate whether a nutrition convergence process exists in sub Saharan Africa (SSA) countries, and second, to examine the response of per capita nutrient intake [i.e. calories, proteins and fats] to changes in income (i.e. nutrient-income elasticities) in the region. Annual time series data for 43 countries covering 1975-2009 cum balanced panel of 1505 observations was employed for the analysis. The convergence hypothesis is examined using the neo-classical growth model, whilst nutrient-income elasticities are estimated based on the aggregate Engel Curve. However, the empirical results show that the null hypothesis of no nutrition convergence is strongly rejected, which indicates tendency towards equalization of per capital nutrient intake in SSA countries. Also, the estimated nutrient-income elasticities are of modest size as the relationship between calories-income and proteins-income was found to be non-linear and linear for fat-income. Further analysis reveals that the calorie and protein-income elasticities are significantly different from zero at higher income and diminished.

description: Let M be a closed oriented 4-manifold, with Riemannian metric g, and a spin^C structure induced by an almost-complex structure ω. Each connection A on the determinant line bundle induces a unique connection \nabla^A, and Dirac operator \D^A on spinor fields. Let σ: W^+ --> Λ^+ be the natural squaring map, taking self-dual (= positive) spinors to self-dual 2-forms. In this paper, we characterize the self-dual 2-forms that are images of self-dual spinor fields through σ. They are those αfor which (off zeros) c_1(α) = c_1(ω), where c_1(α) is a suitably defined Chern class. We also obtain the formula: || ϕ||^2 D^A ϕ= i (2 d^* σ(ϕ) + < \nabla^A ϕ, i ϕ>)* ϕ. Using these, we establish a bijective correspondence between: {Kahler forms αcompatible with a metric scalar-multiple of g, and with c_1(α) = c_1(ω)} and {gauge classes of pairs (ϕ, A), with \nabla^A ϕ= 0}, as well as a bijective correspondence between: {Symplectic forms αcompatible with a metric conformal to g, and with c_1(α) = c_1(ω)} and {gauge classes of pairs (ϕ, A), with D^ A ϕ= 0, and < \nabla^A ϕ, i ϕ> = 0, and ϕnowhere-zero}.

description: The recent global financial crisis and the subsequent economic recession have revitalized the discussion on the causal relationship between financial and economic sectors. This study examines financial and economic indices developed by the Federal Reserve Banks of Kansas City and Chicago, respectively, to identify the impact of financial uncertainty on the overall economic performance. Using smooth transition and vector smooth transition autoregressions, this research assesses nonlinear dynamics of these indices, and tests the Granger non-causality hypothesis between the financial stress and economic activity in an out-of-sample setting. Results of this study confirm the causal relationship between financial and economic indices. Moreover, the improved in-sample fit of nonlinear models translates into better forecast performance, in comparison with the linear models, in an out-of-sample setting as well.

description: Ghost imaging (GI) is an imaging technique that uses the correlation between two light beams to reconstruct the image of an object. Conventional GI algorithms require large memory space to store the measured data and perform complicated offline calculations, limiting practical applications of GI. Here we develop an instant ghost imaging (IGI) technique with a differential algorithm and an implemented high-speed on-chip IGI hardware system. This algorithm uses the signal between consecutive temporal measurements to reduce the memory requirements without degradation of image quality compared with conventional GI algorithms. The on-chip IGI system can immediately reconstruct the image once the measurement finishes; there is no need to rely on post-processing or offline reconstruction. This system can be developed into a realtime imaging system. These features make IGI a faster, cheaper, and more compact alternative to a conventional GI system and make it viable for practical applications of GI.
