description: A study was carried out to analyze the rainfall data for crop planning in rainfed regions,, Probability analysis of rainfall offers a better scope for predicting the minimum assured rainfall to help in crop planning. The 75% probability of rainfall occurrence was proposed as an index of dependable rainfall for crop production. Considering this in view, 25 years (1981-2005) of rainfall data of Mymensingh district have been analyzed in greater details covering probability aspects. Assured rainfall analysis, probability of potential evapotranspiration, water-balance approach and actual evapotranspiration were found quite effective to assess the water availability period for crop planning under rainfed condition. It was found that maximum rainfall occurred in July and minimum in December. The numbers of rainy days per year at 75% probability were 128 days. In the month of July and August numbers of rainy days were 20 and in December, it reduced to zero. The highest potential evapotranspiration was obtained in April (4.6 mm/day) and the lowest in January (2.4 mm/day).It was observed that April to October is the rainfall excess (rainfall>PET) and November to March is the deficit period (PET>rainfall). Climatic water balance revealed the possibility of water harvesting during May to October. It may be concluded that probabilistic rainfall data and number of rainy days, would be quite helpful for crop planning. It provides useful information like land preparation, planting, transplanting, intercultural operations, harvesting, threshing, drying and other cropping practices. This would go a long way in crop planning at farmers and at policy making level.

description: In this work, we present a systematic first-principles density-functional theory based study of geometry, electronic structure, and optical properties of armchair phosphorene nanoribbons (APNRs), with the aim of understanding the influence of edge passivation. Ribbons of width ranging from 0.33 nm to 3.8 nm were considered, with their edges functionalized with the groups H, OH, F, Cl, S, and Se. The geometries of various APNRs were optimized, and the stability was checked by calculating their formation energies. Using the relaxed geometries, calculations of their band structure and optical properties were performed. Pristine APNRs, as expected, exhibit significant edge reconstruction, rendering them indirect band gap semiconductors, except for one width {\normalsize{}($N=5$, where $N$ is the width parameter)} for which a direct band gap is observed. The edge passivated APNRs are found to be direct band gap semiconductors, with the band gap at the $Γ$-point, for all the functional groups considered in this work. To obtain accurate estimates of band gaps, calculations were also performed using HSE06 hybrid functional for several APNRs. Our calculations reveal that functional groups have significant influence on the band gaps and optical properties of narrower APNRs. For wider passivated ribbons, with the increasing ribbon widths, the gaps converge to almost the same value, irrespective of the group. We also performed calculations including the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) for hydrogen passivated APNRs with $N=5$ and 11. We found that SOC has no significant influence on the band structure of the studied APNRs. However, for the broader APNR, a lowering of peak intensities was observed in the optical absorption spectrum beyond 5 eV.

description: Wireless sensor networks can be used in wind farm monitoring where periodic data collection about the sound generated inside the farm as well as detection and monitoring of faulty wind turbines is necessary. Periodic sound data collection requires reliability while faults detection necessitates timeliness. Simultaneous data gathering and faults monitoring was not well studied in literature. This paper proposed a system model that worked on homogeneous data gathering Wireless sensor networks deployed in wind farms. When a wind turbine became faulty, a cluster with a different transmission channel around that wind turbine was formed and both periodic sound data gathering and faults monitoring were performed at the same time. The proposed model had a novel routing strategy with a built-in congestion control technique to provide timely delivery of faults data. Experimental results show that the proposed method performed better than known similar techniques in terms of reliable data gathering and reliable timely faults monitoring. Due to lower number of high power transmissions, the proposed method had 8% to 17% higher success rate of regular system and 94% of accuracy at the fault monitoring. In terms of timely faults detection and notification, this method had a comparative performance to the existing methods.

description: The paper discusses the Nonlinear Dirac Equation with Kerr-type nonlinearity (i.e., $ψ^{p-2}ψ$) on noncompact metric graphs with a finite number of edges, in the case of Kirchhoff-type vertex conditions. Precisely, we prove local well-posedness for the associated Cauchy problem in the operator domain and, for infinite $N$-star graphs, the existence of standing waves bifurcating from the trivial solution at $ω=mc^2$, for any $p>2$. In the Appendix we also discuss the nonrelativistic limit of the Dirac-Kirchhoff operator.

description: Recent observations suggest that Carina and other nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies are surrounded by unbound stars tidally stripped by the Milky Way. We run high-resolution N-Body simulations of dwarf galaxies orbiting within the Milky Way halo to determine if such observations can be explained with dark matter potentials as those implied by current structure formation models. We show that tidal forces acting on dwarfs with constant density cores or with cuspy profiles having a low concentration parameter ($c < 5$) lead to flat outer stellar density profiles like that of Carina for a variety of orbital configurations. On the contrary, it is more difficult to remove stars from cuspy dark matter halos with concentrations as high as predicted by CDM models at the mass scale of dwarf galaxies ($c \simgt 10$) and the data can only be reproduced assuming nearly radial orbits. Our simulations show that Carina is losing mass at a fractional rate $< 0.1$ Gyr$^{-1}$ and its mass-to-light ratio could be inflated by at most a factor of 2 due to unbound stars projected along the line of sight. We follow the evolution of the tidal debris within a triaxial clumpy cold dark matter Milky Way halo which causes differential precession and small scale heating of the stellar streams. This renders their use as a dynamical tracer of the Galactic potential practically useless, but does provide a novel test of the nature of the dark matter. Models with warm dark matter (WDM) or fluid dark matter (FDM) produce dwarf halos with lower central densities than CDM and would be consistent with the observed tidal tails even for orbits with eccentricities as low as indicated by current data on nearby dwarf spheroidals. Galactic halos in FDM are smooth and spherical and would be favored by the detection of coherent streams.

The metric of any solution contains (n -1) Ricci-flat "internal space" metrics and for certain equations of state coincides with the metric of black brane (or black hole) solution in the model with antisymmetric form. Certain examples (e.g. imitating M2 and M5 black branes) are considered. The post-Newtonian parameters beta and gamma corresponding to the 4-dimensional section of the metric are calculated.

description: Protein fortified and tasty shrimp croquette was developed from different component parts of shrimp wastes by using a combination of vegetables (potato, Colocasia, green banana, green papaya and spinach), spices (green chili, onion, garlic, turmeric, red pepper and ginger) and other ingredients (salt, wheat flour, egg, sugar and milk powder). The ingredients were mixed with variable quantities of shrimp shell powder (3, 5 and 10%), shaped and covered with egg and bread crumb. Proximate composition of shrimp shell powder (SSP) and shrimp croquette was determined as crude protein, crude lipid, ash and moisture. It was observed that the SSP contained 47.48±0.74% crude protein indicating its potentiality as a good protein source for the food industry. The lipid content of SSP was 10.50±0.71% and 19.61±0.64%. When SSP was used in the croquette, protein content increased with the higher levels of SSP. The final protein content found were 7.22±0.66, 9.39±0.37 and 11.73±0.61% in the croquettes added with 3, 5 and 10% SSP, respectively. The suggested recipes containing 5% SSP were preferred by the panelists on the basis of their overall quality. Sensory, chemical and microbiological quality changes of shrimp croquette were determined to evaluate the shelf life and storage stability under different storage conditions. At room temperature shelf life of shrimp croquette was very short, in fact not more than 24 hours. On the other hand, at refrigeration temperature it remained in good condition up to 10 days. At frozen storage it remained in good condition for 1 month. The research reveals that good quality protein fortified shrimp croquette could be manufactured from shrimp shell wastes.

description: Does the exercise of the right of self-determination lead to inefficiency? This paper considers a set of centrally planned municipal mergers during the Meiji period, with data from Gifu prefecture. The observed merger pattern can be explained as a social optimum based on a very simple indiidual utility function. If individual villages had been allowed to choose their merger partners, counterfactual simulations show that the core is always non-empty, but core partitions contain about 80% more (post-merger) municipalities than the social optimum. Simulations are possible because core partitions can be calculated using repeated application of a mixed integer program.

description: We will build a tractable partial equilibrium model that captures the most important features of the EU biofuel, energy, and biofuel feedstock markets. We consider two representative crops: wheat and rapeseed. Wheat is used for both human consumption and ethanol production (where it yields DDGS as a co-product). Rapeseed is crushed first, yielding joint products: rapeseed oil and meal. Oil is then consumed by humans and is also used in biodiesel production; rapeseed meal is used as animal feed. Waste oil is used for second-generation biodiesel. Because the European Union imports a lot of biofuels and biofuel feedstocks, we allow for trade in these commodities. We explicitly model the multiple counting toward the overall mandate for secondgeneration biofuels produced from non-food crops.

description: Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has dropped substantially after a peak at over 27 thousand square kilometers in 2004. Starting in 2008, the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment has regularly published blacklists of critical districts with high annual forest loss. Farms in blacklisted districts face stricter registration and environmental licensing rules. In this paper, we quantify the impact of blacklisting on deforestation. We first use spatial matching techniques using a large set of covariates to identify appropriate control districts. We then explore the effect of blacklisting on change in deforestation in double difference regression analyses using panel data covering the period from 2002-2012. Several robustness checks are conducted including an analysis of field-based enforcement missions as a potential causal mechanism behind the effectiveness of the blacklist. We find that the blacklist has considerably reduced deforestation in the affected districts even after controlling for in situ enforcement activities.
On the Continuous Formation of Field Spheroidal Galaxies in Hierarchical Models of Structure Formation

description: We re-examine the assembly history of field spheroidals as a potentially powerful discriminant of galaxy formation models. Whereas monolithic collapse and hierarchical, merger-driven, models suggest radically different histories for these galaxies, neither the theoretical predictions nor the observational data for field galaxies have been sufficiently reliable for precise conclusions to be drawn. A major difficulty in interpreting the observations, reviewed here, concerns the taxonomic definition of spheroidals in merger-based models. Using quantitative measures of recent star formation activity drawn from the internal properties of a sample of distant field galaxies in the Hubble Deep Fields, we undertake a new analysis to assess the continuous formation of spheroidal galaxies. Whereas abundances and redshift distributions of modelled spheroidals are fairly insensitive to their formation path, we demonstrate that the distribution and amount of blue light arising from recent mergers provides a more sensitive approach. With the limited resolved data currently available, the rate of mass assembly implied by the observed colour inhomogeneities is compared to that expected in popular Lambda-dominated cold dark matter models of structure formation. These models produce as many highly inhomogeneous spheroidals as observed, but underpredict the proportion of homogeneous, passive objects. We conclude that colour inhomogeneities, particularly when combined with spectroscopic diagnostics for large, representative samples of field spheroidals, will be a more valuable test of their physical assembly history than basic source counts and redshift distributions. Securing such data should be a high priority for the Advanced Camera for Surveys on Hubble Space Telescope.

description: Im Kontext der aktuellen Flüchtlingspolitik steht besonders die bereits im Jahr 2001 beschlossene, in 2022 aber erstmals aktivierte Massenzustrom-Richtlinie der EU in der Kritik, Kriegsflüchtlinge ungleich zu behandeln, zu diskriminieren und eine Form des institutionellen Rassismus darzustellen. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit widmet sich daher der Fragestellung, ob es Unterschiede in der Flüchtlingspolitik von 2015 und 2022 gibt, die als Form des institutionellen Rassismus betrachtet werden können und ob die Massenzustrom-Richtlinie der EU in diesem Zusammenhang als rassistisch gegenüber bestimmten Gruppen von Geflüchteten beurteilt werden kann. Die For-schungsergebnisse deuten insgesamt darauf hin, dass die jüngsten Unterschiede in der Behandlung und dem Schutz von Flüchtlingen als klares Zeichen für institutionellen Rassismus in Deutschland und Europa bewertet werden können. Zwar ist die schnelle Reaktion der EU-Institutionen im Kontext des Ukraine-Konflikts sowie der zugehöri-gen Flüchtlingskrise zu begrüßen. Allerdings zeigt sie auch die Notwendigkeit auf, die Lücke beim Schutz von Geflüchteten unterschiedlicher Nationalitäten und Ethnien, zu schließen, und zwar unabhängig davon aus welchen Krisengebieten sie kommen. Es wird auch deutlich, dass die Massenzustrom-Richtlinie als Instrument zur Steuerung von Flüchtlings- und Migrationsbewegungen nur bedingt geeignet ist, da sie eine Form des institutionellen Rassismus gegenüber bestimmten Gruppen von Geflüchteten dar-stellt. Zwar besteht ihr Vorteil zweifellos darin, vertriebenen Gruppen sofortigen und unbürokratischen Schutz zu bieten, die Aktivierung der Richtlinie ist jedoch an zu viele rassistisch diskriminierende Voraussetzungen gebunden.

description: The pursuit of superconducting-based quantum computers has advanced the fabrication of and experimentation with custom lattices of qubits and resonators. Here, we describe a roadmap to use present experimental capabilities to simulate an interacting many-body system of bosons and measure quantities that are exponentially difficult to calculate numerically. We focus on the two-dimensional hard-core Bose-Hubbard model implemented as an array of floating transmon qubits. We describe a control scheme for such a lattice that can perform individual qubit readout and show how the scheme enables the preparation of a highly-excited many-body state, in contrast with atomic implementations restricted to the ground state or thermal equilibrium. We discuss what observables could be accessed and how they could be used to better understand the properties of many-body systems, including the observation of the transition of eigenstate entanglement entropy scaling from area law behavior to volume law behavior

description: This paper firstly proposes a methodology to reconstruct the agricultural GHG emissions and the consequent Carbon Footprint (CF) at the farm level. This allows investigating how the emission performance of Italian farms evolves over time, distinguishing among typologies of farms and territories. Secondly, the paper attempts to put forward some hypotheses explaining the observed heterogeneous evolution of the farm-level CF. In particular, the attention focuses on the possible role of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The empirical analysis concerns a balanced panel of Italian FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) farms observed over years 2003-2007. Results, although interesting and encouraging, deliver unclear and ambiguous evidence on the role of the CAP on the observed CF performance and evolution. Several improvements seem needed to achieve more conclusive evidence to make this assessment more sound and robust, in order to inform the debate and the decisions about the proper policies to mitigate agricultural GHG emission.

description: It is argued that landscape-scale management (LSM) of habitat is better than farmscale management (FSM) when considering the externality of ecosystem services. Given this advantage, how to regulate individual farmers’ land-use decisions to achieve the LSM solution is an issue of common concern both for farmers and policymakers. Specifically, it needs to be determined if there exists a dominant landuse pattern that characterizes the LSM solution compared to FSM solution. In addition to the area of habitat, we design a land-use pattern index (LPI) to characterize the configuration of habitat and project it onto the sharing-sparing continuum. We find that the LSM solution is characterized by less intensive farming, and configurations of habitat are closer to land sharing. However, as crop dependency on ecosystem-services declines, the land-use patterns with LSM and FSM converge and the configurations of habitat start to resemble to land sparing. In addition, when habitat quality improves the configurations of habitat on the border farms become important. Finally, the less mobile service-providers are, the more farmers should focus on land-use patterns on their own farms. Our indices of land-use patterns could be integrated into the cross-compliance of CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) to better manage ecosystem-service in the future.

Productivity Analysis

description: A careful analysis of contemporary society shows a radical evolution of the role and function of consumption. So-called post-modernity, along with the technological, economic and social transformations that have brought it on, inaugurate a different way of conducting relationships, of existing and of consuming. So consumptions evolve, assuming new expressions in extremely heterogeneous ambits, including that of food consumptions. The past decades have witnessed a progressive increase in the complexity of food consumptions due to the affirmation of increasingly more differentiated trends sensitive to territorial specificity and, at the same time, open to the globalisation of tastes. This topic represents a theme as interesting from the scientific viewpoint as it is decisive from the perspective of implementing food marketing strategies. In this framework, studying food consumptions and the sources that influence them in order to comprehend motivations and significances, implicates reflecting on and investigating into the way these practises can be the object of conditioning mediated by business communication, social practises and practises among friends, or by particular socio-economic conditions.

description: The United Nations General Assembly declared 2012 the “International Year of Sustainable Energy for All”, officially recognising the urgent need to put energy at the centre of the global development agenda. In parallel, a strong international policy effort is being made to achieve the goal of universal energy access to modern energy services by 2030. To support these efforts, a dramatic scaling-up of financing to the energy sector will be required through official development aid, other official flows, climate financing and various private flows. In this paper we analyse the recent evolution of development policies and finance for the energy sector using both descriptive and analytical tools. We find that, although development finance for the energy sector rose considerably during the past decade, the financial flows have not been directed towards the countries with the lowest levels of energy access.

description: Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to measure the kinetic coefficient at the solid-liquid interface in pure gold. Results are obtained for the (111), (100) and (110) orientations. Both Au(100) and Au(110) are in reasonable agreement with the law proposed for collision-limited growth. For Au(111), stacking fault domains form, as first reported by Burke, Broughton and Gilmer [J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 89}, 1030 (1988)]. The consequence on the kinetics of this interface is dramatic: the measured kinetic coefficient is three times smaller than that predicted by collision-limited growth.

description: The U.S. demand for natural gas, a cleaner-burning fossil fuel, is projected to rise over the next decade. The import supply of natural gas is tight, so the growing demand will likely intensify domestic production. Pressure to drill on U.S. public and private lands will continue to grow. Landowners and stakeholder groups will need to make informed decisions about whether to lease the mineral rights on these lands. Therefore, access to full information about drilling is critical. This paper uses New York State to illustrate the natural gas drilling process and to examine the issues surrounding drilling on public and private lands. Seneca and Schuyler Counties were chosen to represent the drilling situation in New York due to their mixture of private, state and federal land, including the only national forest in New York. Recent experiences of private landowners and stakeholder groups – the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, national and state forest managers, conservation groups and local citizens – are presented. The paper discusses the benefits of natural gas drilling, primarily landowner royalty payments, and the costs, which include soil erosion, noise, recreational, and aesthetic impacts, and added land management responsibility. For private landowners, the greatest uncertainties in the drilling process center on contract negotiation and the unpredictable nature of royalty payments. The paper provides a discussion of negotiable lease terms, and an explanation of how royalty payments are estimated, including the method for determining wellhead prices. The most difficult issues in gas leases involve siting: wells, staging areas, pipelines, and roads. On federal land, conflict between national energy policy objectives and environmental objectives creates controversy about drilling. Public involvement in federal land leasing can strongly impact the decision-making process.
Nonlinear Bell inequality for macroscopic measurements

description: The correspondence principle suggests that quantum systems grow classical when large. Classical systems cannot violate Bell inequalities. Yet agents given substantial control can violate Bell inequalities proven for large-scale systems. We consider agents who have little control, implementing only general operations suited to macroscopic experimentalists: preparing small-scale entanglement and measuring macroscopic properties while suffering from noise. That experimentalists so restricted can violate a Bell inequality appears unlikely, in light of earlier literature. Yet we prove a Bell inequality that such an agent can violate, even if experimental errors have variances that scale as the system size. A violation implies nonclassicality, given limitations on particles' interactions. A product of singlets violates the inequality; experimental tests are feasible for photons, solid-state systems, atoms, and trapped ions. Consistently with known results, violations of our Bell inequality cannot disprove local hidden-variables theories. By rejecting the disproof goal, we show, one can certify nonclassical correlations under reasonable experimental assumptions.

Continuous-variable quantum cryptography with discrete alphabets: Composable security under collective Gaussian attacks

description: We consider continuous-variable quantum key distribution with discrete-alphabet encodings. In particular, we study protocols where information is encoded in the phase of displaced coherent (or thermal) states, even though the results can be directly extended to any protocol based on finite constellations of displaced Gaussian states. In this setting, we provide a composable security analysis in the finite-size regime assuming the realistic but restrictive hypothesis of collective Gaussian attacks. Under this assumption, we can efficiently estimate the parameters of the channel via maximum likelihood estimators and bound the corresponding error in the final secret key rate.

Randomness in nuclei and in the quark-gluon plasma

description: The issue of averaging randomness is addressed, mostly in nuclear physics, but shortly also in QCD. The Feshbach approach, so successful in dealing with the continuum spectrum of the atomic nuclei ("optical model"), is extended to encompass bound states as well ("shell model"). Its relationship with the random-matrix theory is discussed and the bearing of the latter on QCD, especially in connection with the spectrum of the Dirac operator, is briefly touched upon. Finally the question of whether Feshbach's theory can cope with the averaging required by QCD is considered.

description: Ist es möglich, die Abgrenzung der eigenen Gruppe zu anderen manchmal zu relativieren, oder funktioniert Identitätspolitik nur, wenn die Eigengruppe als unveränderbar verschieden von anderen Gruppen dargestellt wird? Um diesen Fragen auf den Grund zu gehen, untersuche ich in meiner Forschung den Podcast „Yavrum Deutschland“. Drei Türkischdeutsche reden hier über ihre Diskriminierungserfahrungen. Ich stelle folgende Fragen an den Podcast: Fragestellungen: 1. Lässt sich das Vorgehen der Podcastenden gegen Ausgrenzung als eine identitätspolitische Strategie klassifizieren? 2. Wenn ja, wie ist ihre identitätspolitische Strategie aufgebaut? 3. Wie stark ist innerhalb der Strategie die Abgrenzung zu anderen gesellschaftlichen Gruppen? Auf welche Weise werden Abgrenzungen überschritten?

Damit möchte ich einen Beitrag leisten, die praktische Nutzbarkeit von freier Software im Bildungskontext zu zeigen. Zu diesem Zweck werde ich zunächst theoretisch Punkte herausarbeiten, welche Ziele dabei möglich sind und wie deren Erreichen erkennbar ist. Das Vorhandensein solcher möglichen Potenziale werde ich mit Hilfe eines kleinen, online und mit wenigen Teilnehmenden durchgeführten, Workshops auswerten. In Diesem wurden eigene digitale Spiele, oder zumindest Prototypen erstellt. Leiten lasse ich mich von der folgenden Forschungsfrage: Welche medienpädagogischen Potenziale ergeben sich aus der Nutzung von Godot für die Medienbildung von Jugendlichen im Alter von 13 bis 18 Jahren?
Jacobi-like bar mode instability of relativistic rotating bodies

description: We perform some numerical study of the secular triaxial instability of rigidly rotating homogeneous fluid bodies in general relativity. In the Newtonian limit, this instability arises at the bifurcation point between the Maclaurin and Jacobi sequences. It can be driven in astrophysical systems by viscous dissipation. We locate the onset of instability along several constant baryon mass sequences of uniformly rotating axisymmetric bodies for compaction parameter $M/R = 0-0.275$. We find that general relativity weakens the Jacobi like bar mode instability, but the stabilizing effect is not very strong. According to our analysis the critical value of the ratio of the kinetic energy to the absolute value of the gravitational potential energy $(T/|W|)_{\rm crit}$ for compaction parameter as high as 0.275 is only 30% higher than the Newtonian value. The critical value of the eccentricity depends very weakly on the degree of relativity and for $M/R=0.275$ is only 2% larger than the Newtonian value at the onset for the secular bar mode instability. We compare our numerical results with recent analytical investigations based on the post-Newtonian expansion.

description: The design, accurate preparation and manipulation of quantum states in quantum circuits are essential operational tasks at the heart of quantum technologies. Nowadays, circuits can be designed with physical parameters that can be controlled with unprecedented accuracy and flexibility. However, the generation of well-controlled current states is still a nagging bottleneck, especially when different circuit elements are integrated together. In this work, we show how machine learning can effectively address this challenge and outperform the current existing methods. To this end, we exploit deep reinforcement learning to prepare prescribed quantum current states in circuits composed of lumped elements. To highlight our method, we show how to engineer bosonic persistent currents as they are relevant in different quantum technologies as cold atoms and superconducting circuits. We demonstrate the use of deep reinforcement learning to re-discover established protocols, as well as solve configurations that are difficult to treat with other methods. With our approach, quantum current states characterised by a single winding number or entangled currents of multiple winding numbers can be prepared in a robust manner, superseding the existing protocols.
