description: New-generation wireless communication systems will employ large-scale antenna arrays to satisfy the increasing capacity demand. This massive scenario brings new challenges to the channel equalization problem due to the increased signal processing complexity. We present a novel low-rank tensor equalizer to tackle the high computational demands of the classical linear approach. Specifically, we propose a method to design a canonical polyadic tensor filter to minimize the mean square error criterion. Our simulation results indicate that the proposed equalizer needs fewer calculations and is more robust to short training sequences than the benchmark.

The targum (1956:Feb. 1 - 1956:Feb. 28)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1956

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments of Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+δ}$ have shown evidence of real-space organization of electronic states at low energies in the pseudogap state. We argue based on symmetry considerations as well as model calculations that the experimentally observed modulations are due to a density wave of d-wave Cooper-pairs without global phase coherence. We show that STM measurements can distinguish a pair-density-wave from more typical electronic modulations such as those due to charge density wave ordering or scattering from an onsite periodic potential.

description: In the context of Development of the West Regions and the construction of new countryside, on the basis of defining the concept of public goods, this article analyzes the status quo and layers of demand of rural public goods in western ethnic minority areas: the demand of rural public goods in ethnic minority areas shows "pyramid" structure, that is, the most basic layer is production-based rural public goods, followed by life-based rural public goods and democratic-management-based rural public goods. Finally the countermeasures for achieving effective demand of rural public goods are put forward as follows: adhere to customers (farmers)-oriented principle; innovate upon the rural residents' demand expression mechanism of public goods in ethnic minority areas; achieve diversification of supply subject of rural public goods in ethnic minority areas.

Pump-probe X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), synchronized with short magnetic field pulses, is used to measure free magnetization oscillations up to 2.6 GHz with elemental specificity and a rotational resolution of < 2 deg. Magnetic moments residing on Ni sites and Fe sites in a Ni81Fe19(50nm) thin film are found to precess together at all frequencies, coupled in phase within instrumental resolution of 90 ps.

subject: Water conservancy development

description: Current situations of water conservancy development in China include: water shortage and serious water pollution; total water reservoir capacity is large but most are dangerous reservoirs; wide distribution and directly serving the broad masses; business is comprehensive and many fields are involved; projects include public welfare and operating types; great regional difference and problems are varied; utilization methods are extensive and water environment is vulnerable. Based on these situations, this paper analyzes the public goods feature of water resource facilities and management mechanism, and points out that water conservancy development should not merely depend on the market force. Then, it discusses that the influence and trust of transformation period on the whole social members are requirements of new harmonious rural communities, and expounds the necessity of trust for building long-term mechanism for water conservancy development. Finally, it presents policy suggestions: trust is closely connected with benefits of every person, thus developing community trust should begin with every individual; building long-term mechanism for water conservancy development should rely on cultivating highly trust-based rural community shared values.

description: We present an extension of our recently developed Wasserstein optimized model to emulate accurate high-resolution features from computationally cheaper low-resolution cosmological simulations. Our deep physical modelling technique relies on restricted neural networks to perform a mapping of the distribution of the low-resolution cosmic density field to the space of the high-resolution small-scale structures. We constrain our network using a single triplet of high-resolution initial conditions and the corresponding low- and high-resolution evolved dark matter simulations from the Quijote suite of simulations. We exploit the information content of the high-resolution initial conditions as a well constructed prior distribution from which the network emulates the small-scale structures. Once fitted, our physical model yields emulated high-resolution simulations at low computational cost, while also providing some insights about how the large-scale modes affect the small-scale structure in real space.

description: We perform a systematic study of inelastic nuclear rainbow scattering for the \oc system to the 2$^+$ (4.44 MeV) state of $^{12}$C at incident energies of 100--608 MeV with the coupled-channels method. The recently generalized nearside-farside decomposition for inelastic scattering was applied in combination with the multichannel deflection function analysis to elucidate the origin of the nuclear rainbow phenomenon and the suppression of the primary and supernumerary Airy minima in the inelastic scattering cross section. The systematic evolution of the Airy minima for the excited 2$^+$ (4.44 MeV) state of $^{12}$C was unambiguously determined. Our work suggests that there is no clear shift in the positions of the first Airy minima and a small shift at low energies for the second and third Airy minima between the inelastic and elastic scattering cross sections. Using the $K$-subamplitudes splitting technique combined with the generalized nearside-farside decomposition and deflection function, the distinct refractive pattern commonly suppressed in the inelastic heavy-ion scattering can be interpreted and provides new insights into the relationship between elastic and inelastic nuclear rainbow scattering.

The research shows that “the number of migrant workers", “the amount of household labor forces", “original value of fixed assets for production purpose at the end of year", “whether having agricultural machinery or not" and other household endowment factors, have a positive impact on total planting area of households, and theoretically, the endowment effect of internal factors predicted is valid; the product of “average food price" and "whether selling or not" has conspicuous impact, and the empirical results confirm that in external factors, the substitution effect of price is greater than the income effect.

It is found that the field-dependent phase separation line becomes re-entrant above 35 T and below 10 K. Measurements of resonant ultra-sound, specific heat and neutron diffraction show conclusively that the zero-field temperature-dependent phase transition is to a state with no ordered dipole moments, but with second order transition signatures in both sound attenuation and specific heat.

description: Due to the important role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in breast cancer, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes with m6A modification may also be involved in breast cancer pathogenesis. In this study, we used a public genome-wide association study dataset to identify m6A-SNPs associated with breast cancer and to further explore their potential functions. We found 113 m6A-SNPs associated with breast cancer that reached the genome-wide suggestive threshold (5.0E-05), and 86 m6A-SNPs had eQTL signals. Only six genes were differentially expressed between controls and breast cancer cases in GEO datasets (GSE15852, GSE115144, and GSE109169), and the SNPs rs4829 and rs9610915 were located next to the m6A modification sites in the 3ʹUTRs of TOM1L1 and MAFF, respectively. In addition, we found that polyadenylate-binding protein cytoplasmic 1 might have a potential interaction with rs4829 (TOM1L1) and rs9610915 (MAFF). In summary, these findings indicated that the SNPs rs4829 and rs9610915 are potentially associated with breast cancer because they had eQTL signals, altered gene expression, and were located next to the m6A modification sites in the 3ʹUTRs of their coding genes. However, further studies are still needed to clarify how genetic variation affects the epigenetic modification, m6A, and its subsequent functions in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.

description: The Indian Scintillator Matrix for Reactor Anti-Neutrino detection - ISMRAN experiment aims to detect electron anti-neutrinos ($\barν_e$) emitted from a reactor via inverse beta decay reaction (IBD). The setup, consisting of 1 ton segmented Gadolinium foil wrapped plastic scintillator array, is planned for remote reactor monitoring and sterile neutrino search. The detection of prompt positron and delayed neutron from IBD will provide the signature of $\barν_e$ event in ISMRAN. The number of segments with energy deposit ($\mathrm{N_{bars}}$) and sum total of these deposited energies are used as discriminants for identifying prompt positron event and delayed neutron capture event. However, a simple cut based selection of above variables leads to a low $\barν_e$ signal detection efficiency due to overlapping region of $\mathrm{N_{bars}}$ and sum energy for the prompt and delayed events. Multivariate analysis (MVA) tools, employing variables suitably tuned for discrimination, can be useful in such scenarios. In this work we report the results from an application of artificial neural network -- the multilayer perceptron (MLP), particularly the Bayesian extension -- MLPBNN, to the simulated signal and background events in ISMRAN. The results from application of MLP to classify prompt positron events from delayed neutron capture events on Hydrogen, Gadolinium nuclei and also from the typical reactor $γ$-ray and fast neutron backgrounds is reported. An enhanced efficiency of $\sim$91$\%$ with a background rejection of $\sim$73$\%$ for prompt selection and an efficiency of $\sim$89$\%$ with a background rejection of $\sim$71$\%$ for the delayed capture event, is achieved using the MLPBNN classifier for the ISMRAN experiment.

description: The nucleons (protons and neutrons) are by far the most abundant form of matter in our visible Universe; they are composite particles made of quarks and gluons, the fundamental quanta of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD). The usual interpretation of the nucleon dynamics in high energy interactions is often limited to a simple one-dimensional picture of a fast moving nucleon as a collection of co-linearly moving quarks and gluons (partons), interacting accordingly to perturbative QCD rules. However, massive experimental evidence shows that, in particular when transverse spin dependent observables are involved, such a simple picture is not adequate. The intrinsic transverse motion of partons has to be taken into account; this opens the way to a new, truly 3-dimensional (3D) study of the nucleon structure. A review of the main experimental data, their interpretation and understanding in terms of new transverse momentum dependent partonic distributions, and the progress in building a 3D imaging of the nucleon is presented.

description: We discuss intrinsic noise effects in stochastic multiplicative-noise partial differential equations, which are qualitatively independent of the noise interpretation (Ito vs. Stratonovich), in particular in the context of noise-induced ordering phase transitions. We study a model which, contrary to all cases known so far, exhibits such ordering transitions when the noise is interpreted not only according to Stratonovich, but also to Ito. The main feature of this model is the absence of a linear instability at the transition point. The dynamical properties of the resulting noise-induced growth processes are studied and compared in the two interpretations and with a reference Ginzburg-Landau type model. A detailed discussion of new numerical algorithms used in both interpretations is also presented.

description: We consider a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate confined in combined harmonic and quartic traps, following recent experiments [V. Bretin, S. Stock, Y. Seurin and J. Dalibard, cond-mat/0307464]. We investigate numerically the behavior of the wave function which solves the three-dimensional Gross Pitaevskii equation. When the harmonic part of the potential is dominant, as the angular velocities $Omega$ increases, the vortex lattice evolves into a giant vortex. We also investigate a case not covered by the experiments or the previous numerical works: for strong quartic potentials, the giant vortex is obtained for lower $Omega$, before the lattice is formed. We analyze in detail the three dimensional structure of vortices.

We show that the asymmetry of geometrical resonances observed in a periodically modulated composite fermion system can be explained with the uniform-Berry-curvature picture. Moreover, we show that an alternative way of modulating the system, i.e., modulating the external magnetic field, will induce an asymmetry opposite to that of the usual periodic grating modulation which effectively modulates the Chern-Simons field. The experiment can serve as a critical test of the uniform-Berry-curvature picture, and probe the dipole structure of composite fermions proposed by Read.

description: We study continuous time random walks (CTRW) with power law distribution of waiting times under resetting which brings the walker back to the origin, with a power-law distribution of times between the resetting events. Two situations are considered. Under complete resetting, the CTRW after the resetting event starts anew, with a new waiting time, independent of the prehistory. Under incomplete resetting, the resetting of the coordinate does not influence the waiting time until the next jump. We focus on the behavior of the mean squared displacement (MSD) of the walker from its initial position, on the conditions under which the probability density functions of the walker's displacement show universal behavior, and on this universal behavior itself. We show, that the behavior of the MSD is the same as in the scaled Brownian motion (SBM), being the mean field model of the CTRW. The intermediate asymptotics of the probability density functions (PDF) for CTRW under complete resetting (provided they exist) are also the same as in the corresponding case for SBM. For incomplete resetting, however, the behavior of the PDF for CTRW and SBM is vastly different.
Neutrinos from SN1987A: flavor conversion and interpretation of results

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: After recent results from solar neutrino experiments and KamLAND we know that neutrinos from SN1987A underwent flavor conversion. This must be taken into account in the analysis of the data. Assuming the normal mass hierarchy of neutrinos we calculate the permutation factors p for the Kamiokande-2, IMB and Baksan detectors. The conversion inside the star leads to p = 0.28 - 0.32; regeneration effects inside the Earth reduce this factor down to 0.15 - 0.20 (at E = 40 MeV). We study in details the influence of conversion on the observed signal depending on the parameters of the original neutrino spectra. For a given set of these parameters, the conversion could increase the average energy of the observed events by up to 50 % and the number of events by a factor of 2 at Kamiokande-2 and of 3 - 5 at IMB. Inversely, we find that neglecting the conversion effects can lead up to 50 % error in the determination of the average energy of the original antinu_e flux and about 50 % error on its luminosity. By comparison with experimental data we conclude that the Kamiokande-2 data alone do not favor strong conversion effect. In contrast, the combined analysis of the Kamiokande and IMB results slightly favors strong conversion effects (that is, large difference of the original spectra). In comparison with the no oscillation case, the latter require lower average energy and higher luminosity of the original antinu_e flux.

description: Many machine learning projects for new application areas involve teams of humans who label data for a particular purpose, from hiring crowdworkers to the paper's authors labeling the data themselves. Such a task is quite similar to (or a form of) structured content analysis, which is a longstanding methodology in the social sciences and humanities, with many established best practices. In this paper, we investigate to what extent a sample of machine learning application papers in social computing --- specifically papers from ArXiv and traditional publications performing an ML classification task on Twitter data --- give specific details about whether such best practices were followed. Our team conducted multiple rounds of structured content analysis of each paper, making determinations such as: Does the paper report who the labelers were, what their qualifications were, whether they independently labeled the same items, whether inter-rater reliability metrics were disclosed, what level of training and/or instructions were given to labelers, whether compensation for crowdworkers is disclosed, and if the training data is publicly available. We find a wide divergence in whether such practices were followed and documented. Much of machine learning research and education focuses on what is done once a "gold standard" of training data is available, but we discuss issues around the equally-important aspect of whether such data is reliable in the first place.

Evaluating the effect of inoculation method and validating existing combase models for listeria monocytogenes on ten whole intact raw fruits and vegetables
Creators: name: Girbal Gonzalez, Marina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: US regulatory agencies have established a zero-tolerance policy for Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables. Dry inoculation methods can influence microbial behavior in low moisture foods, but few studies have investigated dry inoculation methods for fresh produce. This study elucidates how growth observed on the surface of ten different fresh produce items is influenced by inoculation method, temperature, and food matrix. Whole, intact blueberry, broccoli, carrot, cauliflower, cherry, mandarin orange, lemon, raspberry, and tomato were investigated. A cocktail of 5 rifampicin resistant L. monocytogenes outbreak strains suspended in 0.1% peptone water was used as the wet inoculum. Dry inoculum was prepared by mixing the wet inoculum with sterile sand and drying at 40°C for 24 h before use. Six replicates of each produce type were inoculated (~3.5 log CFU/sample), incubated at 2, 12, 22, 30 and 35°C and enumerated over time. Growth rates were estimated with DMFit and compared with ComBase modeling predictions for Listeria. Carrots did not support L. monocytogenes growth regardless of temperature or inoculation method, possibly due to the presence of phytoalexins. Apparent growth was generally observed for all temperatures except at 2°C and on other produce types. Inoculation method had a significant effect on the average maximum increase of L. monocytogenes on all commodities and at all temperatures (P < 0.05), and wet inoculation often led to greater increases in L. monocytogenes concentration. ComBase gave fail-safe predictions under all conditions except for tomatoes at 30 and 35°C. Inoculation method is a key variable and its effect should be considered in studies on fresh produce. Use of wet inoculation methods may significantly overestimate L. monocytogenes growth potential in fresh produce.

description: In this paper, we undertake a comprehensive examination of quasinormal modes linked to Lee-Wick black holes, delving into scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational perturbations using the spectral method. Such black holes can display a rich structure of horizons, and our analysis considers all the representative scenarios, including extremal and non-extremal situations. In particular, we show that purely imaginary quasinormal modes emerge for extremal and near-extremal configurations, suggesting a rapid return to equilibrium without oscillation.

description: Rice is a commodity of strong economic importance with vital implications for regional development. Rice is the main crop in Igbemo-Ekiti, Nigeria, yet the full economic effect of its production is yet to be determined. This study explores the geographical influence of rice consumption from Igbemo, a regional agropole in Ekiti state. Five hundred respondents were interviewed in 18 of the 69 residential quarters that constitute the six Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the study region. Using the double-log version of the multiple linear regression models for analysis, the study discovered that the level of availability of the rice, the regularity of its consumption, its sourcing, its market price, its quality, and the income of the consumer are crucial factors impacting consumption of rice from Igbemo. Policy measures are discussed based on research findings.

description: We review the quark coalescence model for hadronization in relativistic heavy ion collisions and show how it can explain the observed large baryon to meson ratio at intermediate transverse momentum and scaling of the elliptic flows of identified hadrons. We also show its predictions on higher-order anisotropic flows and discuss how quark coalescence applied to open- and hidden-charm mesons can give insight to charm quark interactions in the quark-gluon plasma and $J/Ψ$ production in heavy ion collisions.

description: Abstract: Third-generation thin-film solar cells based on CZTSSe are highly promising because of their excellent optoelectrical properties, earth-abundant, and non-toxicity of its constituent elements. In this work, the performance of CZTSSe based solar cells with TiO2, CdS, and ZnSe as electron transporting materials (ETMs) was numerically investigated using the Solar Cell capacitance Simulator (SCAPS). The effect of the active layer's thickness and electron affinity, different buffer layers and ...

description: For any stratified pseudomanifold $X$ and any suitable action of the unit circle $S^1$ on $X$ preserving the strata and the local topological structure, the orbit space $B=X/S^1$ is again a stratified pseudomanifold and the orbit map $π/X\to B$ is a stratified morphism. For each perversity in $X$ this arrow induces a long exact sequence relating the intersection cohomologies of $X$ and $B$; we call it the Gysin sequence of $X$ induced by the action. The third term of the Gysin sequence is called the Gysin term; its cohomology depends on basic global and local data. Global data concerns the intersection cohomology of $B$ and the Euler class induced by the action; while local data is related to the Euler class of the links of the fixed strata. The cohomology of the Gysin term is calculated trhough a residual constructible sheaf in $B$ with support in the fixed points set. In the last modification of this paper, we improved the definition of the Euler class in intersection cohomology, which is made by recursion and implies the definition of an Euler perversity. We also verify that the Euler class is functorial for a suitable family of equivariant morphisms (i.e., not every equivariant morphism preserves the Euler class).

description: The Idaho–Eastern Oregon onion industry operates in a market environment characterized by a high level of onion price and supply volatility. Years of relatively high onion prices are often followed by years of very low prices which do not allow onion growers to recover their onion production costs. This feature of the industry adversely affects the profi tability of onion growers and the economic performance of their industry. This study conducts an analysis of alternative market scenarios for the Idaho–Eastern Oregon onion industry in the light of possible implementation of the onion supply management strategy. The results presented in this paper can be used to make a decision on the onion area planted and to predict how changes in the onion supply level would affect the level of onion price in the analyzed industry.

description: We present constraints on the cosmological and reionization parameters based on the cumulative mass function of the Ly-alpha systems. We find that the analysis of the cumulative mass function of the Ly-alpha systems indicates a reionization redshift z_r=24.2\+-4 (68%CL) in agreement with the value found on the basis of the WMAP anisotropy measurements, setting constraints on the amplitude of the density contrast, sigma_8=0.91+-0.04 (68\CL), similar to those derived from the X-ray cluster temperature function. Our joint analysis of Ly-alpha cumulative mass function and WMAP anisotropy measurements shows that the possible current identification of a running of the slope, dn_s/dlnk \ne 0, at k_p=0.05Mpc^-1 (multipole l of about 700) is mainly an effect of the existing degeneracy in the amplitude-slope plane at this scale, the result being consistent with the absence of running, the other constraints based on WMAP data remaining substantially unchanged. Finally, we evaluate the progress on the determination the considered parameters achievable by using the final temperature anisotropy data from WMAP and from the forthcoming Planck satellite that will significantly improve the sensitivity and reliability of these results. This work has been done in the framework of the Planck LFI activities.

description: Beyond being the world's largest social network, Facebook is for many also one of its greatest sources of digital distraction. For students, problematic use has been associated with negative effects on academic achievement and general wellbeing. To understand what strategies could help users regain control, we investigated how simple interventions to the Facebook UI affect behaviour and perceived control. We assigned 58 university students to one of three interventions: goal reminders, removed newsfeed, or white background (control). We logged use for 6 weeks, applied interventions in the middle weeks, and administered fortnightly surveys. Both goal reminders and removed newsfeed helped participants stay on task and avoid distraction. However, goal reminders were often annoying, and removing the newsfeed made some fear missing out on information. Our findings point to future interventions such as controls for adjusting types and amount of available information, and flexible blocking which matches individual definitions of 'distraction'.

description: Farmers markets can play an important role in enhancing farm profitability, particularly those farms choosing to differentiate their products by appealing to consumer preferences for “locally grown” food or gain a larger share of the food dollar by marketing directly to consumers rather than through wholesale markets. This paper reports results of a random state-wide telephone survey in Michigan which measured attitudes and behaviors surrounding farmers markets in order to better understand drivers of participation and expenditure. Questions were informed in part by a series of focus groups conducted throughout the state. Survey results find that about 60 percent of respondents report that they have attended a farmers market in the past year, spending on average $81 in their most recent visit. Comparisons of these figures to prior studies suggest a high degree of social desirability bias among respondents. Those placing high importance on food quality and support of local farmers tended to have a higher probability of participation and predicted expenditure. Major constraints to farmers market attendance include perceived lack of convenience and the lack of perceived welcoming atmosphere, especially among Latino respondents. Discussion centers around strategies market managers may take in the face of tradeoffs between possible confl icting desires for local food and convenience. We conclude with limitations, including a discussion of social desirability bias and future directions of research.

description: We present preliminary trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions for 22 L dwarfs and 18 T dwarfs measured using the ASTROCAM infrared imager. Relative to absolute parallax corrections are made by employing 2MASS and/or SDSS photometry for reference frame stars. We combine USNO infrared and optical parallaxes with the best available CIT system photometry to determine M_J, M_H, and M_K values for 37 L dwarfs between spectral types L0 to L8 and 19 T dwarfs between spectral types T0.5 and T8 and present selected absolute magnitude versus spectral type and color diagrams, based on these results. Luminosities and temperatures are estimated for these objects. Of special interest are the distances of several objects which are at or near the L-T dwarf boundary so that this important transition can be better understood. The previously reported early-mid T dwarf luminosity excess is clearly confirmed and found to be present at J, H, and K. The large number of objects that populate this luminosity excess region indicates that it cannot be due entirely to selection effects. The T dwarf sequence is extended to M_J~16.9 by 2MASS J041519-0935 which, at d = 5.74 pc, is found to be the least luminous [log(L/L_sun)=-5.58] and coldest (T_eff~760 K) brown dwarf known. Combining results from this paper with earlier USNO CCD results we find that, in contrast to the L dwarfs, there are no examples of low velocity (V_tan < 20 km/s) T dwarfs. We briefly discuss future directions for the USNO infrared astrometry program.
