description: Abstract:

 Accurately measuring atmospheric pollutants is critical for decision-making and designing policies aiming to improve air quality and reduce human health exposure. The advent of inexpensive sensor-based technologies means that there are isare now a growing number of measuring devices available that could be useful for this purpose. However, not all this range available today will necessarily be adequate forto the problem that the user wants to tackle. It is therefore key to ask whether the information provided by instrument "X" is appropriate for the intended purpose. Clearly focusing on the question to be answered, and defining the required data quality accordingly, is key to identifying those instruments/techniques capable of meeting this requirement. Since the measurement uncertainty ultimately determines the information content, it is therefore critical to estimate this parameter in a robust and transparent way, thus allowing the potential application of the instrument in question to be defined. In this work, we explore the nature of common air pollution measurement sources of errors in the real world and the implications they have for traditional uncertainty metrics and other potentially more insightful approaches to assessing measurement uncertainty. For this, we employed first simulated datasets combining different sources of error/interferences from (i) a non-target chemical, (ii) physical parameters and (iii) electromagnetic fields. Then we study real-world data from the QUANT project which involves a range of LCS technologies and multiple reference instruments in 3 urban sites in the UK. We then use this information to explore the performance of these technologies and develop methods that will enable their integration into the air quality monitoring infrastructure and use in atmospheric chemistry research. This work will ultimately make it possible to optimize the applications of these technologies based on the quality of the LCS data.

description: To satisfy the objectives of the European Green Deal, a quarter of the EU's agricultural land should be organic by 2030, compared to 8.5% today. France, the largest European country in terms of agricultural production, must become a major player in this transition. However, French farmers are hesitant to convert because of the uncertainty of whether organic farming will improve their income or not. We will conduct a double comparative analysis between the dierences in income (on 103,000 observations distributed between 2004 and 2019) and the dierences in the value of agricultural land (33,000 transactions between 2015 and 2019) between organic and conventional farmers. The study shows that the current monetary incentives for conversion are very low. Panel data modelling using the Breusch-Mizon-Schmidt estimator shows no dierence in income between organic and conventional farmers, despite higher subsidies and lower costs for organic farmers. Furthermore, using an OLS regression including Ricardian theory and residential rent determinants, it is demonstrated that organic land is sold for the same price as conventional land. This result is conrmed by the Spatial Matching method, showing that organic practice does not in uence the price of land. The article shows that it is necessary to consider whether the land is organic or not when selling agricultural land. Such dierentiation in the market can help to integrate environmental externalities (better soil quality) into the land value. This price increase could encourage land conversion through an anticipated increase in farmers' income. However, at present, the low supply of organic land for sale does not allow this price increase.

description: Introduction: Circadian rhythm disruption has garnered significant attention for its adverse effects on human health, particularly in reproductive medicine and fetal well-being. Assessing pregnancy health often relies on diagnostic markers such as the labyrinth zone (LZ) proportion within the placenta. This study aimed to investigate the impact of disrupted circadian rhythms on placental health and fetal development using animal models. Methods and Results: Employing unstained photo-acoustic microscopy (PAM) and hematoxylin and eosin (HE)-stained images, we found them mutually reinforcing. Our images revealed the role of MCRD on the LZ and fetus weight: a decrease in LZ area from 5.01-HE(4.25-PAM) mm2 to 3.58-HE (2.62-PAM) mm2 on day 16 and 6.48-HE(5.16-PAM) mm2 to 4.61-HE (3.03-PAM) mm2 on day 18, resulting in 0.71 times lower fetus weights. We have discriminated a decrease in the mean LZ to placenta area ratio from 64% to 47% on day 18 in mice with disrupted circadian rhythms with PAM. Discussion: The study highlights the negative influence of circadian rhythm disruption on placental development and fetal well-being. Reduced LZ area and fetal weights in the MCRD group suggest compromised placental function under disrupted circadian rhythms. PAM imaging proved to be an efficient technique for assessing placental development, offering advantages over traditional staining methods. These findings contribute to understanding the mechanisms underlying circadian disruption's effects on reproductive health and fetal development, emphasizing the importance of maintaining normal circadian rhythms for optimal pregnancy outcomes. Further research is needed to explore interventions to mitigate these effects and improve pregnancy outcomes.

description: Carbon-dioxide (CO2) is the main contributor to anthropogenic global warming, and the timing of its peak concentration in the atmosphere is likely to govern the timing of maximum radiative forcing. It is well-known that dynamics of atmospheric CO2 is governed by multiple time-constants, and here we approximate the solutions to a linear model of atmospheric CO2 dynamics with four time-constants to identify factors governing the time-delay between peaks in CO2 emissions and concentrations, and therefore the timing of the concentration peak. The main factor affecting this time-delay is the ratio of the rate of change of emissions during its increasing and decreasing phases. If this ratio is large in magnitude then the time-delay between peak emissions and concentrations is large. Therefore it is important to limit the magnitude of this ratio through mitigation, in order to achieve an early peak in CO2 concentrations. This can be achieved with an early global emissions peak, combined with rapid decarbonization of economic activity, because the delay between peak emissions and concentrations is affected by the time-scale with which decarbonization occurs. Of course, for limiting the magnitude of peak concentrations it is also important to limit the magnitude of emissions throughout its trajectory, but that aspect has been studied elsewhere and is not examined here. The carbon cycle parameters affecting the timing of the concentration peak are primarily the long multi-century time-constant of atmospheric CO2, and the ratio of contributions to the impulse response function of atmospheric CO2 from the infinite time-constant and the long time-constant respectively. Reducing uncertainties in these parameters can reduce uncertainty in forecasts of the radiative forcing peak.

Statistics of spatial averages and optimal averaging in the presence of missing data
Creators: name: Seshadri, Ashwin K
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We consider statistics of spatial averages estimated by weighting observations over an arbitrary spatial domain using identical and independent measuring devices, and derive an account of bias and variance in the presence of missing observations. We test the model relative to simulations, and the approximations for bias and variance with missing data are shown to compare well even when the probability of missing data is large. Previous authors have examined optimal averaging strategies for minimizing bias, variance and mean squared error of the spatial average, and we extend the analysis to the case of missing observations. Minimizing variance mainly requires higher weights where local variance and covariance is small, whereas minimizing bias requires higher weights where the field is closer to the true spatial average. Missing data increases variance and contributes to bias, and reducing both effects involves emphasizing locations with mean value nearer to the spatial average. The framework is applied to study spatially averaged rainfall over India. We use our model to estimate standard error in all-India rainfall as the combined effect of measurement uncertainty and bias, when weights are chosen so as to yield minimum mean squared error.

description: Previously, Cristofaro-Gardiner, Hutchings and Ramos have proved that embedded contact homology (ECH) capacities can recover the volume of a contact 3-manifod in their paper "the asymptotics of ECH capacities" . There were two main steps to proving this theorem: The first step used an estimate for the energy of min-max Seiberg-Witten Floer generators. The second step used embedded balls in a certain symplectic four manifold.
 In this paper, stronger estimates on the energy of min-max Seiberg-Witten Floer generators are derived. This stronger estimate implies directly the "ECH capacities recover volume" theorem (without the help of embedded balls in a certain symplectic four manifold), and moreover, gives an estimate on its speed.

description: Infrared and visible image fusion aim to integrate modality strengths for visually enhanced, informative images. Visible imaging in real-world scenarios is susceptible to dynamic environmental brightness fluctuations, leading to texture degradation. Existing fusion methods lack robustness against such brightness perturbations, significantly compromising the visual fidelity of the fused imagery. To address this challenge, we propose the Brightness Adaptive multimodal dynamic fusion framework (BA-Fusion), which achieves robust image fusion despite dynamic brightness fluctuations. Specifically, we introduce a Brightness Adaptive Gate (BAG) module, which is designed to dynamically select features from brightness-related channels for normalization, while preserving brightness-independent structural information within the source images. Furthermore, we propose a brightness consistency loss function to optimize the BAG module. The entire framework is tuned via alternating training strategies. Extensive experiments validate that our method surpasses state-of-the-art methods in preserving multi-modal image information and visual fidelity, while exhibiting remarkable robustness across varying brightness levels. Our code is available: https://github.com/SunYM2020/BA-Fusion.

description: The charging capacitor is used as a standard paradigm for illustrating the concept of the Maxwell "displacement current". A certain aspect of the problem, however, is often overlooked. It concerns the conditions for satisfaction of the Faraday-Henry law both in the interior and in the exterior of the capacitor. In this article the situation is analyzed and a recursive process is described for obtaining (at least approximate) solutions of Maxwell's equations inside and outside the capacitor.

description: Over a field of characteristic zero, we show that two commutative differential graded (dg) algebras are quasi-isomorphic if and only if they are quasi-isomorphic as associative dg algebras. This answers a folklore problem in rational homotopy theory, showing that the rational homotopy type of a space is determined by its associative dg algebra of rational cochains. We also show a Koszul dual statement, under an additional completeness hypothesis: two homotopy complete dg Lie algebras whose universal enveloping algebras are quasi-isomorphic as associative dg algebras must themselves be quasi-isomorphic. The latter result applies in particular to nilpotent Lie algebras (not differential graded), in which case it says that two nilpotent Lie algebras whose universal enveloping algebras are isomorphic as associative algebras must be isomorphic.

description: Approximative constructions present special interest for acquisition due to the counterfactual and scalar inferences they give rise to. In this paper we investigate the acquisition of Greek approximatives by heritage speakers in Germany and the USA. We show that while in English and German there is a single lexical item encoding counterfactuality and scalarity, in Greek there are two lexical items which, as we show, have different interpretations. In view of this difference, we test whether the crosslinguistic differences and the interface nature of approximative constructions affect their representation in heritage language. We present a production study and a comprehension study of approximative constructions. Our findings suggest that the two heritage groups do not diverge from the monolingual group in the domain of approximative constructions.

description: The coupled Wright-Fisher diffusion is a multi-dimensional Wright-Fisher diffusion for multi-locus and multi-allelic genetic frequencies, expressed as the strong solution to a system of stochastic differential equations that are coupled in the drift, where the pairwise interaction among loci is modelled by an inter-locus selection. In this paper, an ancestral process, which is dual to the coupled Wright-Fisher diffusion, is derived. The dual process corresponds to the block counting process of coupled ancestral selection graphs, one for each locus. Jumps of the dual process arise from coalescence, mutation, single-branching, which occur at one locus at the time, and double-branching, which occur simultaneously at two loci. The coalescence and mutation rates have the typical structure of the transition rates of the Kingman coalescent process. The single-branching rate not only contains the one-locus selection parameters in a form that generalises the rates of an ancestral selection graph, but it also contains the two-locus selection parameters to include the effect of the pairwise interaction on the single loci. The double-branching rate reflects the particular structure of pairwise selection interactions of the coupled Wright-Fisher diffusion. Moreover, in the special case of two loci, two alleles, with selection and parent independent mutation, the stationary density for the coupled Wright-Fisher diffusion and the transition rates of the dual process are obtained in an explicit form.

description: The aim of this study is to analyse the volatility of agricultural commodity prices and assess the effectiveness of supply chain contracts as possible tools to prevent it. The study refers to the cereal sector, which is of vital importance for the agri-food system of the Mediterranean area. Since Italy is the world’s largest producer of durum wheat semolina, the proper functioning of the Italian durum wheat supply chain is central to this investigation. The study was conducted following two different paths of analysis: (1) the calculation of volatility indices using annual and monthly data of durum wheat prices, both organic and industrial, observed in the Bologna Commodity Exchange (AGER); (2) the analysis of two organic durum wheat supply chain contracts, defined by a cooperative involving hundreds of Italian farms mainly from the Marche region and by an agricultural consortium operating in the Adriatic regions. Despite the limited number of cases examined, the present study shows how supply chain contracts can be valid tools for building stable relationships between the various players, from production to processing and distribution, guaranteeing farms fairer and more remunerative raw material purchase prices and higher quality standards.

description: Given a smooth foliation on a closed manifold, basic forms are differential forms that can be expressed locally in terms of the transverse variables. The space of basic forms yields a differential complex, because the exterior derivative fixes this set. The basic cohomology is the cohomology of this complex, and this has been studied extensively. Given a Riemannian metric, the adjoint of the exterior derivative maps the orthogonal complement of the basic forms to itself, and we call the resulting cohomology the "antibasic cohomology". Although these groups are defined using the metric, the dimensions of the antibasic cohomology groups are invariant under diffeomorphism and metric changes. If the underlying foliation is Riemannian, the groups are foliated homotopy invariants that are independent of basic cohomology and ordinary cohomology of the manifold. For this class of foliations we use the codifferential on antibasic forms to obtain the corresponding Laplace operator, develop its analytic properties, and prove a Hodge theorem. We then find some topological and geometric properties that impose restrictions on the antibasic Betti numbers.

description: The Masai are nomadic pastoralists living in parts of what is now Kenya and Tanzania. This entry focuses around the year 1900, when northern Masailand fell under British control, and southern Masailand fell under German control. At this time, the Masai were known as a strong military force, and lived in villages based on an age-grade system. Lineages formed the most important social unit, and groups of lineages comprised clans. Religious and civil leaders inherited their positions through membership in high-ranking lineages. The Masai religious beliefs are centered on an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent supreme high god, 'Ng ai. Because the Masai religion permeates so many aspects of their culture, it is best considered coterminous with the society.
Cumulative emissions accounting of greenhouse gases due to path independence for a sufficiently rapid emissions cycle

description: Cumulative emissions accounting for carbon-dioxide (CO2) is founded on recognition that global warming in Earth System Models (ESMs) is roughly proportional to cumulative CO2 emissions, regardless of emissions pathway. However, cumulative emissions accounting only requires the graph between global warming and cumulative emissions to be approximately independent of emissions pathway ("path-independence"), regardless of functional relationship between these variables. The concept and mathematics of path-independence are considered for an energy-balance climate model (EBM), giving rise to a closed-form expression of global warming, together with analysis of the atmospheric cycle following emissions. Path-independence depends on the ratio between the period of the emissions cycle and the atmospheric lifetime, being a valid approximation if the emissions cycle has period comparable to or shorter than the atmospheric lifetime. This makes cumulative emissions accounting potentially relevant beyond CO2, to other greenhouse gases (GHGs) with lifetimes of several decades whose emissions have recently begun.

description: The Norwegian government operates pelagic fishery management systems designed to avoid overfishing and foster sustainable annual landings while at the same time managing an export promotion program designed to increase foreign sales of herring and mackerel. Simultaneously promoting foreign sales of pelagic fish and limiting the availability of those fish for sale are policies in apparent conflict. This research demonstrates, however, that effective limits on the availability of pelagic fish for export tend to complement the profit-enhancing export promotion objectives of the Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC) for the Norwegian herring and mackerel industries. Assuming highly (but not perfectly) effective limits on herring and mackerel exports arising from their respective fishery management systems over the 2003 to 2018 period of analysis, NSC herring and mackerel export promotion contributed 5-7% to Norwegian herring export revenue and industry profit, respectively and 11-15% to Norwegian mackerel export revenue and industry profit, respectively. Less effective limitation on Norwegian herring and mackerel export supplies would erode the respective industry revenue and profit gains from NSC export promotion. In essence, the NSC effectively exploits the limits on herring and mackerel export availability imposed by Norwegian fishery management systems for the benefit of Norwegian herring and mackerel industries.

description: Recently, Özge et al. have argued that Turkish and German monolingual 4-year-old children can interpret case-marking predictively disregarding word order. Heritage speakers (HSs) acquire a heritage language at home and a majority societal language which usually becomes dominant after school enrollment. Our study directly compares two elicitation modes: in-lab and (remote) webcam-based eye-tracking data collection. We test the extent to which in-lab effects can be replicated in webcam-based eye-tracking using the exact same design. Previous research indicates that Turkish HSs vary more in the comprehension and production of case-marking compared to monolinguals. Data from 49 participants–22 Turkish monolinguals and 27 HSs–were analyzed using a binomial generalized linear mixed-effects regression model. In the Accusative condition, participants looked for the suitable Agent before it is appeared in speech. In the Nominative condition, participants looked for the suitable Patient before it is appeared in speech. HSs were able to use morphosyntactic cues on NP1 to predict the thematic role of NP2. This study supports views in which core grammatical features of languages, such as case, remain robust in HSs, in line with the Interface Hypothesis. We were able to replicate the effect of the predictive use of case in monolinguals using webcam-based eye-tracking, but the replication with heritage speakers was not successful due to variability in data collection contexts. A by-participant analysis of the results revealed individual variation in that there were some speakers who do not use case-marking predictively in the same way as most monolinguals and most HSs do. These findings suggest that the predictive use of case in heritage speakers is influenced by different factors, which may differ across individuals and affect their language abilities. We argue that HSs should be placed on a native-speaker continuum to explain variability in language outcomes.

The robot's soft body and soft legs were 3D printed with gyroid infill using a flexible material, enabling it to conform to the environment and passively stabilize during locomotion on multi-terrain environments. In addition, we simulated the robot in a real-time soft body simulation. With tuned gaits in simulation, the real robot can locomote at a speed of 0.9 m/s (2.5 body length/second), substantially faster than most untethered legged soft robots published to date. We hope this platform, along with its verified simulator, can catalyze the development of soft robotics.

description: The Kingman coalescent is a fundamental process in population genetics modelling the ancestry of a sample of individuals backwards in time. In this paper, in a large-sample-size regime, we study asymptotic properties of the coalescent under neutrality and a general finite-alleles mutation scheme, i.e. including both parent independent and parent dependent mutation. In particular, we consider a sequence of Markov chains that is related to the coalescent and consists of block-counting and mutation-counting components. We show that these components, suitably scaled, converge weakly to deterministic components and Poisson processes with varying intensities, respectively. Along the way, we develop a novel approach, based on a change of measure, to generalise the convergence result from the parent independent to the parent dependent mutation setting, in which several crucial quantities are not known explicitly.

description: Spatial ability, crucial for success in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, displays intriguing gender differences, particularly in tasks involving spatial visualisation and mental rotation. This paper explores the nuanced landscape of gender-related cognitive processing disparities in spatial tasks, contributing to a broader understanding of cognitive diversity. While males tend to outperform females in spatial visualisation and mental rotation tasks, the impact of timing on these assessments reveals a more multifaceted picture, emphasising the importance of considering testing conditions and methodologies. The focus on mental rotation tasks extends beyond research to practical applications in education and vocational settings. Gender disparities in performance, especially under time constraints, prompt an exploration of motivational factors and societal influences. Cognitive differences in mental rotation tasks between genders involve distinct processing approaches. Typically, females exhibit top-down processing, whereas males adopt a bottom-up approach. Significant individual variations within each gender highlight the influence of diverse factors, including biology, environment, and culture on cognitive processes. This cognitive dichotomy provides insights into the varied strategies individuals employ in spatial tasks, emphasising the complexity and diversity of cognitive processes. The paper emphasises the need for inclusive and context-aware approaches when interpreting gender differences in spatial cognition, offering a nuanced perspective on cognitive diversity. Engaging with this research will equip readers with a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between biological, environmental, and cultural factors, ultimately contributing to a more informed and inclusive approach to the study of spatial cognition.

description: The convergence properties of spectroscopic factors in the \textit{ab initio} no-core shell model are hereby investigated. For this, we consider nuclear energies and spectroscopic factors in $A = 6$ and 7 isotopes, using the chiral forces NNLO$_{\rm opt}$ and N$^3$LO. While low-lying spectrum energy demonstrates remarkable convergence with the increase of model space within the no-core shell model, the spectroscopic factor exhibits no definitive convergence trend and seems independent of the employed nuclear interaction. The use of spectroscopic factors issued from the no-core shell model to calculate cross-sections of knockout reaction might then be questionable. The results are compared with that of the standard shell model and \textit{ab initio} Monte Carlo calculations.

description: Stabiliser operations occupy a prominent role in fault-tolerant quantum computing. They are defined operationally: by the use of Clifford gates, Pauli measurements and classical control. These operations can be efficiently simulated on a classical computer, a result which is known as the Gottesman-Knill theorem. However, an additional supply of magic states is enough to promote them to a universal, fault-tolerant model for quantum computing. To quantify the needed resources in terms of magic states, a resource theory of magic has been developed. Stabiliser operations (SO) are considered free within this theory, however they are not the most general class of free operations. From an axiomatic point of view, these are the completely stabiliser-preserving (CSP) channels, defined as those that preserve the convex hull of stabiliser states. It has been an open problem to decide whether these two definitions lead to the same class of operations. In this work, we answer this question in the negative, by constructing an explicit counter-example. This indicates that recently proposed stabiliser-based simulation techniques of CSP maps are strictly more powerful than Gottesman-Knill-like methods. The result is analogous to a well-known fact in entanglement theory, namely that there is a gap between the operationally defined class of local operations and classical communication (LOCC) and the axiomatically defined class of separable channels.

description: The mass and the spin of accreting and jetted black holes, at the center of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), can be probed by analyzing their electromagnetic spectra. For this purpose, we use the Spin-Modified Fundamental Plane of black hole activity, which non-linearly connects the following four variables (in the source frame): radio luminosity, X-ray or optical luminosity (via the [OIII] emission line), black hole mass and spin. Taking into account the uncertainties in luminosity measurements, conversion factors, relativistic beaming and physical properties of the AGN system, we derive lower bounds on the spins of a group of heavy, jetted AGNs. Using these results, we study the direct implications on the mass spectrum of the ultra-light particles of scalar (axion-like), vector (dark photon) and tensor types (additional spin-2 particles). We close unexplored gap in the parameter space $10^{-20}-10^{-19}$eV. We obtain upper bounds on the axion decay constant (equivalently lower bounds on the self-interaction strength) considering self-interactions could prevent the axion particles entering the instability, and be the reason for non-observation of superradiance. Assuming axion/scalar is described by mass and decay constant, we obtain upper limits on what fraction of dark matter can be formed by ultra-light particles and find that single spieces axion-like light particle can constitute at most $10\%$ of the dark matter in the mass range: $ 10^{-21} < μ\, (\mathrm{eV}) < 10^{-17}$. Moreover, we derive similar bounds for vector and spin-2 particles and find that light vector fields can constitute at most $10^{-6}$ of the dark matter in $10^{-21}\, \mathrm{eV} < μ< 10^{-17} \, \mathrm{eV}$ range, and light spin-2 fields can constitute at most $10^{-9}$ of the dark matter in $10^{-23}\, \mathrm{eV} < μ< 10^{-17} \, \mathrm{eV}$ range.

description: Demanding that charged Nariai black holes in (quasi-)de Sitter space decay without becoming super-extremal implies a lower bound on the masses of charged particles, known as the Festina Lente (FL) bound. In this paper we fix the $\mathcal{O}(1)$ constant in the bound and elucidate various aspects of it, as well as extensions to $d>4$ and to situations with scalar potentials and dilatonic couplings. We also discuss phenomenological implications of FL including an explanation of why the Higgs potential cannot have a local minimum at the origin, thus explaining why the weak force must be broken. For constructions of meta-stable dS involving anti-brane uplift scenarios, even though the throat region is consistent with FL, the bound implies that we cannot have any light charged matter fields coming from any far away region in the compactified geometry, contrary to the fact that they are typically expected to arise in these scenarios. This strongly suggests that introduction of warped anti-branes in the throat cannot be decoupled from the bulk dynamics as is commonly assumed. Finally, we provide some evidence that in certain situations the FL bound can have implications even with gravity decoupled and illustrate this in the context of non-compact throats.

description: Variables describing the abiotic environment (e.g. climate, topography or biogeographic history) have a long tradition of use as predictors of tree species richness patterns. However, these variables may capture variations in richness related to climate, but not those that are related to soil type or forest disturbance. Canopy structure has previously been shown to provide information on the variation of tree species richness, with richness generally increasing with larger canopy heights and denser foliage. The use of canopy structure is increasingly relevant with the availability of such data from the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), a lidar mission onboard the International Space Station. In this analysis we show that GEDI canopy structure explains up to 66% of the variation in tree species richness in natural forests without a history of recent disturbance across the globe. However, this portion overlaps with the variation (up to 80%) explained by environmental and biogeographical variables. Our results show that relationships between tree species richness on one side and climate and canopy structure on the other side are not as straightforward as we initially expected, and should be further investigated across both natural and disturbed forests.
