( BUDDHISM IN MODERN INDIA ASSERTION OF IDENTITY AND AUTHORITY FOR DALITS (3).pdf

description: In the Lotus Sutra (the first Sutra introduced into China and Vietnam from India), the Buddha is described as the most respected and loved creature who walked on two feet. This was precisely the reason why Dalits in India have started the Navayana Buddhism or the Neo- Buddhist movement which is a very socially and politically engaged form of Buddhism. For Dalits, whose material circumstances were very different from the mainstream upper castes, the motivation always remained: to learn about suffering and to reach its end, in each person‘s life and in society. Many of them have turned to Dhamma in response to the Buddha‘s central message about suffering and the end of suffering. Previously lower-caste Hindus, the Indian Buddhists in Nagpur converted under the political influence of Babasaheb Ambedkar, the author of India‘s constitution, to denounce caste oppression. They became Buddhist for political and spiritual reasons, and today, the implications of their actions continue to unfold in many ways. Their belief in the four seals of Buddhism – All compounded things are impermanent, All emotions are the pain, All things have no inherent existence and Nirvana is beyond concepts, have made them renounce the atrocities and injustice of Hindu savarnas which were carried on since last many centuries

description: We present an experimental implementation of the coined discrete time quantum walk on a square using a three qubit liquid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum information processor (QIP). Contrary to its classical counterpart, we observe complete interference after certain steps and a periodicity in the evolution. Complete state tomography has been performed for each of the eight steps making a full period. The results have extremely high fidelity with the expected states and show clearly the effects of quantum interference in the walk. We also show and discuss the importance of choosing a molecule with a natural Hamiltonian well suited to NMR QIP by implementing the same algorithm on a second molecule. Finally, we show experimentally that decoherence after each step makes the statistics of the quantum walk tend to that of the classical random walk.

description: Advances in deep neural networks have considerably improved the art of animating a still image without operating in 3D domain. Whereas, prior arts can only animate small images (typically no larger than 512x512) due to memory limitations, difficulty of training and lack of high-resolution (HD) training datasets, which significantly reduce their potential for applications in movie production and interactive systems. Motivated by the idea that HD images can be generated by adding high-frequency residuals to low-resolution results produced by a neural network, we propose a novel framework known as Animating Through Warping (ATW) to enable efficient animation of HD images. Specifically, the proposed framework consists of two modules, a novel two-stage neural-network generator and a novel post-processing module known as Animating Through Warping (ATW). It only requires the generator to be trained on small images and can do inference on an image of any size. During inference, an HD input image is decomposed into a low-resolution component(128x128) and its corresponding high-frequency residuals. The generator predicts the low-resolution result as well as the motion field that warps the input face to the desired status (e.g., expressions categories or action units). Finally, the ResWarp module warps the residuals based on the motion field and adding the warped residuals to generates the final HD results from the naively up-sampled low-resolution results. Experiments show the effectiveness and efficiency of our method in generating high-resolution animations. Our proposed framework successfully animates a 4K facial image, which has never been achieved by prior neural models. In addition, our method generally guarantee the temporal coherency of the generated animations. Source codes will be made publicly available.

description: We consider a supersymmetric matrix model which is related to the non-critical superstring theory. We find new non-singlet terms in the supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics. The new non-singlet terms give rise to nontrivial interactions. These new non-singlet terms from fermions, can eliminate other non-singlet terms from generators of U(N) subalgebra and from time periodicity. The non-singlet terms from the generators violate the T-duality on the target space which is a circle. Therefore, we can retain the T-duality with a process of the elimination.

description: The resonance production of $Δ$, K(892), $Σ$(1385), $Λ$(1520) and $ϕ$ from elementary p+p and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = $ 200 GeV from the STAR experiment at RHIC is presented. Yields and spectra are discussed in terms of chemical and thermal freeze-out conditions. Thermal models do not describe sufficiently the yields of the resonance production in central Au+Au collisions. The approach which includes pseudo-elastic and elastic hadronic interactions after chemical freeze-out until thermal freeze-out suggests a time span of $Δτ>$5 fm/c.

description: Tomato trade between the U.S. and Mexican has grown significantly during the past decade, and market structure suggests increased market integration. This study examines fresh tomato price relationships between two major North American shipping points (Sinaloa, and Florida) and several major terminal markets in the U.S. and Mexico to infer whether business strategies vary by supply region or the geography of consumer markets. The results show some evidence of inefficient pricing behavior among some markets, and suggest that Mexican shipping point prices are less integrated with Mexico's own terminal markets than the closest U.S. market, Los Angeles. Moreover, perfectly competitive price behavior is less likely in a terminal market (Chicago) where Sinaloa and Florida compete during winter months. These results are the basis of discussion on the role of strategic behavior and trade policy influence in these markets.

description: The ground-state structures and ferroelectric properties of NbN (N=2-52) have been investigated by a combination of density-functional theory (DFT) in the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and an unbiased global search with the guided simulated annealing. It is found that the electric dipole moment (EDM) exists in the most of NbN and varies considerably with their sizes. And the larger NbN (N>=25) prefer the amorphous packing. Most importantly, our numerical EDM values of NbN (N>=38) exhibit an extraordinary even-odd oscillation, which is well consistent with the experimental observation, showing a close relationship with the geometrical structures of NbN. Finally, an inverse coordination number (ICN) function is proposed to account for the structural relation of the EDM values, especially their even-odd oscillations starting from Nb38.

description: The Argentine scenario of the 90s shows that although competitiveness improved, the agrifood system is unable to react immediately to the market because of low efficiency, poor training in agribusiness and high taxation. In the year 2000, FAUBA, the School of Agronomy of the University of Buenos Aires, created two executive management postgraduate courses in food and agribusiness that combined theory with hands-on exercises focused on the competitive management of agrifood chains and on quality. The new courses intended to meet the demand of the food and agribusiness private and public sectors with the aim of creating knowledge, reconverting human resources and providing innovation capabilities, key to building competitiveness.

description: Mexican produce exports into the U.S. increased considerably during the latter months of 1995 and the first nine months of 1996. Because of these increased imports, Florida tomato growers requested the executive branch of the U.S. government and Congress to put into effect seven trade protection measures to reduce or stop fresh tomato imports from Mexico. This study was carried out to determine if the United State Department of Commerce (USDOC) and the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) found valid and reliable indications that the tomato industry in the U.S. was materially injured by imports from Mexico.
Langmuir-type vortices in boundary layers driven by a criss-cross wavy wall topography

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: We investigate a mechanism to manipulate wall-bounded flows whereby wave-like undulations of the wall topography drives the creation of bespoke longitudinal vortices. A resonant interaction between the ambient vorticity of the undisturbed shear flow and the undulation of streamlines enforced by the wall topography serves to slightly rotate the spanwise vorticity of the mean flow into the streamwise direction, creating a swirling motion, in the form of regular streamwise rolls. The process is kinematic and essentially identical to the `direct drive' CL1 mechanism for Langmuir circulation (LC) proposed by Craik (1970). Boundary layers are modelled by selecting suitable primary flow profiles. A simple, easily integrable expression for the cross-plane stream function is found in two asymptotic regimes: the resonant onset of the essentially inviscid instability at early times, and the fully developed steady state viscous flow. Linear-order solutions for flow over undulating boundaries are obtained, fully analytical in the special case of a power-law profile. These solutions allow us to quickly map out the circulation response to boundary design parameters. The study is supplemented with direct numerical simulations which verify the manifestation of boundary induced Langmuir vortices in laminar flows with no-slip boundaries. Simulations show good qualitative agreement with theory. Quantitatively, the comparisons rest on a displacement length closure parameter adopted in the perturbation theory. While wall-driven LC appear to become unstable in turbulent flows, we propose that the mechanism can promote swirling motion in boundary layers, a flow feature which has been reported to reduce drag in some situations.

description: We report on the early time ordering in a nematic liquid crystal subjected to a sudden change in external ac electric field. We compare time evolution for two different initial states of electroconvection. Electroconvection is a highly driven state of a nematic liquid crystal involving convective motion of the fluid and periodic variations of the molecular alignment. By suddenly changing either the voltage or the frequency of the applied ac field, the system is brought to the same thermodynamic conditions. The time ordering of the system is characterized by the evolution of features of the power spectrum, including the average wavenumber, total power, and shape of the the power spectrum. The differences between the two classes of quenches are discussed, as well as the possibility of scaling behavior during this initial phase of domain growth.

description: The persistence over space and time of flash flood disasters -- flash floods that have caused either economical or life losses, or both -- is a diagnostic measure of areas subjected to hydrological risk. The concept of persistence can be assessed via clustering analyses, performed here to analyse the national inventory of flash floods disasters in China occurred in the period 1950-2015. Specifically, we investigated the spatio-temporal pattern distribution of the flash floods and their clustering behavior by using both global and local methods: the first, based on the Ripley's K-function, and the second on scan statistics. As a result, we could visualize patterns of aggregated events, estimate the cluster duration and make assumptions about their evolution over time, also with respect precipitations trend. Due to the large spatial (the whole Chinese territory) and temporal scale of the dataset (66 years), we were able to capture whether certain clusters gather in specific locations and times, but also whether their magnitude tends to increase or decrease. Overall, the eastern regions in China are much more subjected to flash floods compared to the rest of the country. Detected clusters revealed that these phenomena predominantly occur between July and October, a period coinciding with the wet season in China. The number of detected clusters increases with time, but the associated duration drastically decreases in the recent period. This may indicate a change towards triggering mechanisms which are typical of short-duration extreme rainfall events. Finally, being flash floods directly linked to precipitation and their extreme realization, we indirectly assessed whether the magnitude of the trigger itself has also varied through space and time, enabling considerations in the context of climatic changes.

description: Deep learning has now become the de facto approach to the recognition of anomalies in medical imaging. Their 'black box' way of classifying medical images into anomaly labels poses problems for their acceptance, particularly with clinicians. Current explainable AI methods offer justifications through visualizations such as heat maps but cannot guarantee that the network is focusing on the relevant image region fully containing the anomaly. In this paper, we develop an approach to explainable AI in which the anomaly is assured to be overlapping the expected location when present. This is made possible by automatically extracting location-specific labels from textual reports and learning the association of expected locations to labels using a hybrid combination of Bi-Directional Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Networks (Bi-LSTM) and DenseNet-121. Use of this expected location to bias the subsequent attention-guided inference network based on ResNet101 results in the isolation of the anomaly at the expected location when present. The method is evaluated on a large chest X-ray dataset.

description: The FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas) will bring together 35 countries with five different languages and over 300 ethnic and cultural groups. As trade, cultural discourse, and other joint efforts develop between countries, private organizations, public entities and individuals, many disputes will arise. In a few countries, the rule of law can solve these disputes effectively. In most others, the rule of law cannot work because of political, social or even criminal events. As NAFTA showed, developing a successful and efficient dispute resolution mechanism is an important component of developing a successful working relationship of the agreement among all the parties and countries. Other Trade Agreements including NAFTA and WTO have found that the successful functioning of these agreements require all private and public parties to think carefully about resolving disputes ahead of time and setting up a number of alternative processes to be used by the parties. Only in Government-to-Government disputes is the system quite simple. Otherwise, there are several models which have been developed in the U.S. and other American countries which can assist in resolving agribusiness and food management conflict resolution in rural communities. Grass roots initiatives with international applications, disputes over land, grazing rights, homes, credit issues and financial resources can be a serious impediment to growth. In Arizona, U.S. and the Americas, this has caused large dollar value disputes, ill will, riots and even death. In both rural and agricultural based Arizona, U.S. and the Americas, this presentation highlights methodology and courses being developed to solve some of these conflicts.

description: The complete gauge-invariant set of the one-loop QED corrections to the parity-nonconserving 6s-7s amplitude in $^{133}$Cs is evaluated to all orders in $αZ$ using a local version of the Dirac-Hartree-Fock potential. The calculations are peformed in both length and velocity gauges for the absorbed photon. The total binding QED correction is found to be -0.27(3)%, which differs from previous evaluations of this effect. The weak charge of $^{133}$Cs, derived using two most accurate values of the vector transition polarizability $β$, is $Q_W=-72.57(46)$ for $β= 26.957(51) a_{\rm B}^3$ and $Q_W=-73.09(54)$ for $β= 27.15(11)a_{\rm B}^3 $. The first value deviates by $1.1σ$ from the prediction of the Standard Model, while the second one is in perfect agreement with it.

With the aid of finite-element simulations we determine the single-mode and multi-mode phases and also find the air hole diameters limiting the endlessly single-mode regime. From calculations of V and W parameters we find that in general HF1 is less susceptible to longitudinal non-uniformities compared to the other designs for equivalent effective areas. As an example we illustrate this general property for the particular case of a macro-bending induced loss.

description: Ground-based and spacecraft telescopic observations, combined with an intensive modeling effort, have greatly enhanced our understanding of hot giant planets and brown dwarfs over the past ten years. Although these objects are all fluid, hydrogen worlds with stratified atmospheres overlying convective interiors, they exhibit an impressive diversity of atmospheric behavior. Hot Jupiters are strongly irradiated, and a wealth of observations constrain the day-night temperature differences, circulation, and cloudiness. The intense stellar irradiation, presumed tidal locking and modest rotation leads to a novel regime of strong day-night radiative forcing. Circulation models predict large day-night temperature differences, global-scale eddies, patchy clouds, and, in most cases, a fast eastward jet at the equator-equatorial superrotation. The warm Jupiters may exhibit a wide range of rotation rates, obliquities, and orbital eccentricities, which, along with the weaker irradiation, leads to circulation patterns and observable signatures predicted to differ substantially from hot Jupiters. Brown dwarfs are typically isolated, rapidly rotating worlds; they radiate enormous energy fluxes into space and convect vigorously in their interiors. Their atmospheres exhibit patchiness in clouds and temperature on regional to global scales-the result of modulation by large-scale atmospheric circulation. Despite the lack of irradiation, such circulations can be driven by interaction of the interior convection with the overlying atmosphere, as well as self-organization of patchiness due to cloud-dynamical-radiative feedbacks. Finally, irradiated brown dwarfs help to bridge the gap between these classes of objects, experiencing intense external irradiation as well as vigorous interior convection. A hierarchy of modeling approaches have yielded major new insights into the dynamics governing these phenomena.

description: Ecotourism, bioprospecting and non-timber product marketing have been promoted recently as market-based instruments for environment protection, but without sound understanding of the resulting net conservation effects. We present evidence on the local conservation effects of recent argan oil commercialization in Morocco, which seems a promising case study in conservation through resource commercialization. Our empirical analysis shows, however, that resource commercialization is not creating strong net conservation incentives because assumptions implicit in the prevailing logic prove incorrect in this case. Generally, the experience of southwestern Morocco provides a cautionary tale about the assumed efficacy of conservation strategies founded on resource commercialization.

description: We utilize Classification and Regression Tree analysis to categorize the return of extending the season for upland. High, medium, and low values for cost of water, lint prices, and quality discount/premiums were applied to the lint yield and quality differentials realized from 198 irrigation termination experiments conducted in central Arizona for the crop years of 1991, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1996, 1997, and 2000. The progression of each crop was analyzed using heat units (86/55 F). The relative ranking results of CART, where the most important variable is normalized on 100, were: variety (100), additional heat units after IT-1 (94), yield of IT-1 (93), crop year (83), micronaire associated with IT-1 (68), HUAP for IT-1 (67), lint price (5), water cost (2), and the quality discount/premium year (.09). Significant yield variation from extending the season was found. In addition, agronomic signals for predicting micronaire changes were very important for determining profitability since quality is impacted for both base and any additional yields attained. These are the primary reasons why agronomic factors were found to be more influential than the economic factors considered for explaining the profitability of extending the season for upland.

description: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is an extremely important method in exploratory and confirmatory data analysis. Unfortunately, in complex problems (e.g., split-plot designs), it is not always easy to set up an appropriate ANOVA. We propose a hierarchical analysis that automatically gives the correct ANOVA comparisons even in complex scenarios. The inferences for all means and variances are performed under a model with a separate batch of effects for each row of the ANOVA table. We connect to classical ANOVA by working with finite-sample variance components: fixed and random effects models are characterized by inferences about existing levels of a factor and new levels, respectively. We also introduce a new graphical display showing inferences about the standard deviations of each batch of effects. We illustrate with two examples from our applied data analysis, first illustrating the usefulness of our hierarchical computations and displays, and second showing how the ideas of ANOVA are helpful in understanding a previously fit hierarchical model.

description: A rotating superfluid forms an array of quantized vortex lines which determine its angular velocity. The spasmodic evolution of the array under the influence of deceleration, dissipation, and pinning forces is thought to be responsible for the phenomenon of pulsar glitches, sudden jumps in the spin frequency of rotating neutron stars. We describe and implement an $N$-body method for simulating the motion of up to 5000 vortices in two dimensions and present the results of numerical experiments validating the method, including stability of a vortex ring and dissipative formation of an Abrikosov array. Vortex avalanches occur routinely in the simulations, when chains of unpinning events are triggered collectively by vortex-vortex repulsion, consistent with previous, smaller-scale studies using the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The probability density functions of the avalanche sizes and waiting times are consistent with both exponential and log-normal distributions. We find weak correlations between glitch sizes and waiting times, consistent with astronomical data and meta-models of pulsar glitch activity as a state-dependent Poisson process or a Brownian stress-accumulation process, and inconsistent with a threshold-triggered stress-release model with a single, global stress reservoir. The spatial distribution of the effective stress within the simulation volume is analysed before and after a glitch.

description: We present a base-pairing model of oligonuleotide duplex formation and show in detail its equivalence to the Nearest-Neighbour dimer methods from fits to free energy of duplex formation data for short DNA-DNA and DNA-RNA hybrids containing only Watson Crick pairs. In this approach the connection between rank-deficient polymer and rank-determinant oligonucleotide parameter, sets for DNA duplexes is transparent. The method is generalised to include RNA/DNA hybrids where the rank-deficient model with 11 dimer parameters in fact provides marginally improved predictions relative to the standard method with 16 independent dimer parameters ($ΔG$ mean errors of 4.5 and 5.4 % respectively).

description: Live cattle futures markets do not offer much opportunity for effective hedging of wholesale beef cuts. If a Choice-to-Select price spread futures contract were introduced this would enhance hedging effectiveness although likely not enough to encourage cross hedging. If a Choice boxed beef futures contract were introduced, hedging Choice wholesale beef cuts would be less risky and the addition of a Choice-to-Select price spread would enhance hedging effectiveness especially for Select wholesale beef cuts.

description: Determining whether the flux distribution of an Astrophysical source is a Gaussian or a log-normal, provides key insight into the nature of its variability. For lightcurves of moderate length ($< 10^3$), a useful first analysis is to test the Gaussianity of the flux and logarithm of the flux, by estimating the skewness and applying the Anderson-Darling (AD) method. We perform extensive simulations of lightcurves with different lengths, variability, Gaussian measurement errors and power spectrum index $β$ (i.e. $P(f) \propto f^{-β}$), to provide a prescriptionand guidelines for reliable use of these two tests. We present empirical fits for the expected standard deviation of skewness and tabulated AD test critical values for $β= 0.5$ and $1.0$, which differ from the values given in the literature which are for white noise ($β= 0$). Moreover, we show that for white noise, for most practical situations, these tests are meaningless, since binning in time alters the flux distribution. For $β\gtrsim 1.5$, the skewness variance does not decrease with length and hence the tests are not reliable. Thus, such tests can be applied only to systems with $β\gtrsim 0.5$ and $β\lesssim 1.0$. As an example of the prescription given in this work, we reconfirm that the Fermi data of the blazar, 3FGL\,J0730.2-1141, shows that its $γ$ ray flux is consistent with a log-normal distribution and not with a Gaussian one.

description: The description of nonequilibrium processes in nano-sized objects, where the typical energies involved are a few times, is increasingly becoming central to disciplines as diverse as condensed-matter physics, materials science, and biophysics. Major recent developments towards a unified treatment of arbitrarily large fluctuations in small systems are described by fluctuation theorems that relate the probabilities of a system absorbing from or releasing to the bath a given amount of energy in a nonequilibrium process. Here we experimentally verify the Crooks Fluctuation Theorem (CFT) under weak and strong nonequilibrium conditions by using optical tweezers to measure the irreversible mechanical work during the unfolding and refolding of a small RNA hairpin and an RNA three-helix junction. We also show that the CFT provides a powerful way to obtain folding free energies in biomolecules by determining the crossing between the unfolding and refolding irreversible work distributions. The method makes it possible to obtain folding free energies in nonequilibrium processes that dissipate up to of the average total work exerted, thereby paving the way for reconstructing free energy landscapes along reaction coordinates in nonequilibrium single-molecule experiments.
