Macroeconomic factors and health concerns influence restaurant performance.
Comments on "Dirac theory in spacetime algebra"

description: In contrast to formulations of the Dirac theory by Hestenes and by the current author, the formulation recently presented by W. P. Joyce [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 34 (2001) 1991--2005] is equivalent to the usual Dirac equation only in the case of vanishing mass. For nonzero mass, solutions to Joyce's equation can be solutions either of the Dirac equation in the Hestenes form or of the same equation with the sign of the mass reversed, and in general they are mixtures of the two possibilities. Because of this relationship, Joyce obtains twice as many linearly independent plane-wave solutions for a given momentum eigenvalue as exist in the conventional theory. A misconception about the symmetry of the Hestenes equation and the geometric significance of the algebraic spinors is also briefly discussed.

description: We develop a systematic DLCQ perturbation theory and show that DLCQ S-matrix does not have a covariant continuum limit for processes with $p^+=0$ exchange. This implies that the role of the zero mode is more subtle than ever considered in DLCQ and hence must be treated with great care also in non-perturbative approach. We also make a brief comment on DLCQ in string theory.

description: Neurokognitive Spätfolgen nach pädiatrischem Hirntumor spielen bei der immer grösser werdenden Anzahl von Überlebenden eine wichtige Rolle. Im Bereich der schulischen Fertigkeiten zeigen sich vor allem Defizite in der Lesekompetenz. Die Hauptziele der vorliegenden Studien bestanden darin, Hirnfunktionsstörungen bei einer ausgewählten Gruppe von Kindern und Jugendlichen (Hirntumorpatienten) zum Zeitpunkt der Diagnose zu erfassen, sowie Wissen über alters- und intelligenzunabhängige Einflussmöglichkeiten auf die kognitive Leistung am Beispiel des Lesens bereitzustellen. Insgesamt flossen Daten von rund 180 Kindern und Jugendlichen in die jeweiligen Analysen ein, wobei sowohl ein klinisches Sample (Kinder und Jugendliche mit Krebserkrankungen) als auch Kinder aus unterschiedlichen Altersgruppen und in zwei verschiedenen Schulmodellen (Primarschule und Heilpädagogische Schule) berücksichtigt wurden. Zusammenfassend kann gesagt werden, dass Krebserkrankungen, welche das zentrale Nervensystem betreffen, schon zum Zeitpunkt der Diagnose Auswirkungen auf basale neurokognitive Fähigkeiten haben. Diese Defizite können zu einer Verzögerung der neurokognitiven Entwicklung beitragen. Daher müssen möglichst früh pädagogische und/oder therapeutische Massnahmen eingeleitet werden, welche in den Patienten- und Schulalltag implementiert werden können. Das hier vorgestellte neu entwickelte Wort-Bild-Training, das in einem ersten Schritt bei normalbegabten und geistig behinderten Kindern verschiedener Altersstufen positive Effekte auf die Verbesserung der Lesefertigkeit und des Leseverständnisses gezeigt hat, könnte ebenfalls eine wertvolle Fördermöglichkeit für Kinder mit Hirnfunktionsstörungen aufgrund onkologischer Erkrankungen darstellen. Obwohl die erreichte Verbesserung der Lesekompetenz eher klein ausfiel, wiesen die Effekte zumindest über kurze Zeit eine gewisse Stabilität auf. Dieser Befund spricht für die Möglichkeit der Einflussnahme auf die Leseprozesse durch das (auf implizitem statistischen Lernen basierende) Training, widerspiegelt gleichzeitig aber auch deren Grenzen. Das gewonnene Wissen wird in Bezug auf die Relevanz für die klinische und pädagogische Praxis diskutiert. Ausgehend von den eigenen Studienergebnissen wird schliesslich angeregt, impliziten Lernstrategien in den Lehrplänen einen höheren Stellenwert einzuräumen und mit der Förderung von einfachen Lesestrategien bei pädiatrischen Hirntumorpatienten möglichst frühzeitig zu beginnen.

The general problem of restoration from known scattering data is formulated and a number of explicit examples is given. Only certain sets of reflectionless scattering data correspond to symmetry breaking and all restored potentials are similar either to the Phi**4-model or to the sine-Gordon model.

description: We propose a novel domain specific loss, which is a differentiable loss function based on the dose volume histogram, and combine it with an adversarial loss for the training of deep neural networks to generate Pareto optimal dose distributions. The mean squared error (MSE) loss, dose volume histogram (DVH) loss, and adversarial (ADV) loss were used to train 4 instances of the neural network model: 1) MSE, 2) MSE+ADV, 3) MSE+DVH, and 4) MSE+DVH+ADV. 70 prostate patients were acquired, and the dose influence arrays were calculated for each patient. 1200 Pareto surface plans per patient were generated by pseudo-randomizing the tradeoff weights (84,000 plans total). We divided the data into 54 training, 6 validation, and 10 testing patients. Each model was trained for 100,000 iterations, with a batch size of 2. The prediction time of each model is 0.052 seconds. Quantitatively, the MSE+DVH+ADV model had the lowest prediction error of 0.038 (conformation), 0.026 (homogeneity), 0.298 (R50), 1.65% (D95), 2.14% (D98), 2.43% (D99). The MSE model had the worst prediction error of 0.134 (conformation), 0.041 (homogeneity), 0.520 (R50), 3.91% (D95), 4.33% (D98), 4.60% (D99). For both the mean dose PTV error and the max dose PTV, Body, Bladder and rectum error, the MSE+DVH+ADV outperformed all other models. All model's predictions have an average mean and max dose error less than 2.8% and 4.2%, respectively. Expert human domain specific knowledge can be the largest driver in the performance improvement, and adversarial learning can be used to further capture nuanced features. The real-time prediction capabilities allow for a physician to quickly navigate the tradeoff space, and produce a dose distribution as a tangible endpoint for the dosimetrist to use for planning. This can considerably reduce the treatment planning time, allowing for clinicians to focus their efforts on challenging cases.

The technique has been applied to a dissipative resonator which exhibits a singularity -- called exceptional point -- in its eigenvalue and eigenvector spectrum. At the singularity, two modes coalesce with a phase difference of $π/2 .$ We conclude that the state excited at the singularity has a definitiv chirality.

description: The properties of the Hamiltonian developed in Paper II are studied showing that at a particular strain level a ``localization'' phase transition occurs characterized by the emergence of conjugate bands of coherently oriented cracks. The functional integration that yields the partition function is then performed analytically using an approximation that employs only a subset of states in the functional neighborhood surrounding the most probable states. Such integration establishes the free energy of the system, and upon taking the derivatives of the free energy, the localization transition is shown to be continuous and to be distinct from peak stress. When the bulk modulus of the grain material is large, localization always occurs in the softening regime following peak stress, while for sufficiently small bulk moduli and at sufficiently low confining pressure, the localization occurs in the hardening regime prior to peak stress. In the approach to localization, the stress-strain relation for the whole rock remains analytic, as is observed both in experimental data and in simpler models. The correlation function of the crack fields is also obtained. It has a correlation length characterizing the aspect ratio of the crack clusters that diverges as (ξ\sim (\ep_{c}-\ep)^{-2}) at localization.

Augmenting IDEs with Runtime Information for Software Maintenance

description: Object-oriented language features such as inheritance, abstract types, late-binding, or polymorphism lead to distributed and scattered code, rendering a software system hard to understand and maintain. The integrated development environment (IDE), the primary tool used by developers to maintain software systems, usually purely operates on static source code and does not reveal dynamic relationships between distributed source artifacts, which makes it difficult for developers to understand and navigate software systems. Another shortcoming of today's IDEs is the large amount of information with which they typically overwhelm developers. Large software systems encompass several thousand source artifacts such as classes and methods. These static artifacts are presented by IDEs in views such as trees or source editors. To gain an understanding of a system, developers have to open many such views, which leads to a workspace cluttered with different windows or tabs. Navigating through the code or maintaining a working context is thus difficult for developers working on large software systems. In this dissertation we address the question how to augment IDEs with dynamic information to better navigate scattered code while at the same time not overwhelming developers with even more information in the IDE views. We claim that by first reducing the amount of information developers have to deal with, we are subsequently able to embed dynamic information in the familiar source perspectives of IDEs to better comprehend and navigate large software spaces. We propose means to reduce or mitigate the information by highlighting relevant source elements, by explicitly representing working context, and by automatically housekeeping the workspace in the IDE. We then improve navigation of scattered code by explicitly representing dynamic collaboration and software features in the static source perspectives of IDEs. We validate our claim by conducting empirical experiments with developers and by analyzing recorded development sessions.

description: The number of dairy operations and cow numbers in the United States is declining. This leads to the question of whether the decline is nationwide or in specific areas of the country and what regional effects may cause a drop in cow cumbers. This question was analyzed in many ways. Using the GLM procedure in SAS it was determined that total operating cost and profit margin were significantly different in regions of the country. Change in cow numbers however was not significantly affected by the total operating cost or profit margin received by dairy producers. Even though the southeast region experienced the highest profit margins they also accounted for the highest drop in cow numbers. These results suggest that region of the country is significant when analyzing operating costs and profit margins but does not explain the drop in dairy cattle.

description: The detection of the binary neutron star (BNS) merger, GW170817, was the first success story of multi-messenger observations of compact binary mergers. The inferred merger rate along with the increased sensitivity of the ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) network in the present LIGO/Virgo, and future LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA observing runs, strongly hints at detection of binaries which could potentially have an electromagnetic (EM) counterpart. A rapid assessment of properties that could lead to a counterpart is essential to aid time-sensitive follow-up operations, especially robotic telescopes. At minimum, the possibility of counterparts require a neutron star (NS). Also, the tidal disruption physics is important to determine the remnant matter post merger, the dynamics of which could result in the counterparts. The main challenge, however, is that the binary system parameters such as masses and spins estimated from the real time, GW template-based searches are often dominated by statistical and systematic errors. Here, we present an approach that uses supervised machine-learning to mitigate such selection effects to report possibility of counterparts based on presence of a NS component, and presence of remnant matter post merger in real time.

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: Most treatments of electron-electron correlations in dense plasmas either ignore them entirely (random phase approximation) or neglect the role of ions (jellium approximation). In this work, we go beyond both these approximations to derive a new formula for the electron-electron static structure factor which properly accounts for the contributions of both ionic structure and quantum-mechanical dynamic response in the electrons. The result can be viewed as a natural extension of the quantum Ornstein-Zernike theory of ionic and electronic correlations, and it is suitable for dense plasmas in which the ions are classical and the conduction electrons are quantum-mechanical. The corresponding electron-electron pair distribution functions are compared with the results of path integral Monte Carlo simulations, showing good agreement whenever no strong electron resonance states are present. We construct approximate potentials of mean force which describe the effective screened interaction between electrons. Significant deviations from Debye-Hückel screening are present at temperatures and densities relevant to high energy density experiments involving warm and hot dense plasmas. The presence of correlations between conduction electrons is likely to influence the electron-electron contribution to the electron and thermal conductivity. It is expected that excitation processes involving the conduction electrons (e.g., free-free absorption) will also be affected.

description: Expanding irrigated agriculture and drought in the Lower Mississippi River Basin have led to large-scale withdrawals of groundwater and a consequent decline in the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer. Conserving the aquifer, while at the same time providing for economic growth, is a challenge for policy makers. We develop a spatially explicit landscape level model for analyzing the aquifer and economic consequences of alternative crop mix patterns. The spatially explicit aquifer model incorporates irrigation needs of the crops grown, initial aquifer thickness, hydro-conductivity of the aquifer, and distance to surrounding grid cells to predict the proportion of groundwater removed from surrounding cells due to pumping on each grid cell. The spatially explicit economic model incorporates site characteristics and location to predict economic returns for a variety of potential crop types. By thinking carefully about the arrangement of activities, we find crop mix patterns that sustain high levels of the aquifer and economic returns. Compared to the crop mix of the current landscape, we show that both aquifer conservation and the value of economic activity could be increased substantially.

description: An integrated procedure was developed to extract and purify total flavonoids from Toona sinensis leaves for the first time, in which pressurized liquid extraction was performed in tandem with HPD100 macroporous resin column. Consequently, the total flavonoids can be extracted using 10% EtOH, and the recovery and purity of total flavonoids was 71.05% and 66.60%. Moreover, products of high quality were obtained in an environmentally friendly process with lower consumption of time and solvent. The results demonstrated that the integrated extraction-adsorption procedure was an efficient process for the preparation of total bioactive flavonoids from Toona sinensis leaves.

By unitarizing these amplitudes we are able to generate dynamically the lightest resonances in meson-meson scattering. We thus obtain a remarkable description of the meson-meson scattering data right from threshold up to 1.2 GeV, in terms of chiral parameters in good agreement with previous determinations.

description: Agricultural commodity futures markets have experienced dramatic price swings since 2007 as compared to previous periods. Applied economic research has not reached a consensus as to whether market fundamentals or speculative participation has been the cause of the increased volatility. Policy research has concentrated on the legislative intent of the law and how recent financial and commodity market regulation should revert back to the successful policies of the twentieth century. Policy scholars credit financial and commodity market turmoil to changes in regulatory policy, but no specific research has been identified that associates changes in market behavior with changes in regulatory policy. This paper addresses the following research question: why has agricultural commodity futures price volatility changed over time? Applying quasi-experimental analysis methodology with change-point analysis design and econometric modeling, this research uses cotton futures price variability (volatility) as a measurement of commodity market behavior. The findings indicate that commodity futures market regulation is one of many factors that may lead to a change in cotton futures market volatility.

description: Energy transfer through quantum coherences plays an essential role in diverse natural phenomena and technological applications, such as human vision, light-harvesting complexes, quantum heat engines, and quantum information and computing. The understanding of the long-lived coherence involved in these phenomena requires a detailed modeling of the system-bath interactions beyond the so-called secular and/or Markovian approximations. Despite continuous theoretical progress on understanding nonsecular dynamics in the last decades, convincing experimental observations are still lacking. By using the laser-kicked molecular rotor as a model system, we here experimentally unveil the nonsecular dynamics in the rotational relaxation of molecules due to thermal collisions. Specifically, the rotational coherence in gas-phase molecules is systematically probed and characterized by the recently discovered rotational alignment echoes featuring a decoherence and dissipation process which can only be explained by the nonsecular quantum master equations for modeling molecular collisions.

description: Environmental horticulture firms provide a variety of commercial/residential landscape products and services encompassing ornamental plant production, design, installation, and maintenance. The companies generate tons of waste including plastic containers, trays, and greenhouse/field covers, creating the need to reduce and utilize plastic waste. Based on survey data collected in Georgia in 2013, this paper investigates determinants of the environmental horticulture firms’ recycling decision (plastic containers, flats, and greenhouse poly) as well as factors influencing total quantity of recyclable materials discarded by firms. Our findings indicate that the decision to discard vs. recycle plastic containers, flats, and greenhouse poly is significantly influenced by firm scope, size, location, and partnership with recycling providers, as well as whether recycling providers offer additional waste pickup services. In terms of total quantity of discarded waste, high revenue firms with a focus on landscape maintenance and plant nurseries are found to throw away more recyclable materials compared to firms with another business focus. Insights from this study are of use to local governments and environmental organizations interested in increasing horticultural firm participation in recycling programs and lowering the volume of plastic destined for landfills.

description: International trade in food crops has historically played a residual, supply-augmenting role in the Indonesian food economy. Indonesia was able to transform its rice economy technologically and stimulate rapid growth in rural income and consumption levels while protecting the domestic economy over the 15-year period ending in 1985. A slowdown in economic growth, combined with a deteriorating external payments situation, has led Indonesian planners to adopt a more open and outward-oriented approach to economic management. For agriculture, trade liberalization is understood as being a part of this new, outward-oriented, development approach. The costs of shifting the agricultural economy to a more liberalized trade rCgime were simulated using a multimarket agricultural sector econometric model. The results of the static simulation show that the transition costs, in terms of higher impon demand, lower fann income, and lower employment absorption, will be high. This argues that, particularly in a depressed world primary commodities market, a sound economic case can be made for special and differential treatment of protectionism in the developing economies. The extent to which labour wages are flexible will also have a significant influence on the economic gains from trade liberalization. In the Indonesian agricultural economy, where a high degree of rural underemployment is evident, complete trade liberalization will not be a first-best development policy choice.

description: We show how all known N=2, d=4,5,6 maximally supersymmetric vacua (Hpp-waves and aDSxS solutions) are related through dimensional reduction/oxidation preserving all the unbroken supersymmetries. In particular we show how the N=2, d=5 family of vacua (which are the near-horizon geometry of supersymmetric rotating black holes) interpolates between aDS_2xS^3 and aDS_3xS^2 in parameter space and how it can be dimensionally reduced to an N=2, d=4 dyonic Robinson-Bertotti solution with geometry aDS_2xS^2 and oxidized to an N=2, d=6 solution with aDS_3xS^3 geometry (which is the near-horizon of the self-dual string).

description: We present two observations related to theapplication of linear (LFE) and nonlinear fractional equations (NFE). First, we give the comparison and estimates of the role of the fractional derivative term to the normal diffusion term in a LFE. The transition of the solution from normal to anomalous transport is demonstrated and the dominant role of the power tails in the long time asymptotics is shown. Second, wave propagation or kinetics in a nonlinear media with fractal properties is considered. A corresponding fractional generalization of the Ginzburg-Landau and nonlinear Schrodinger equations is proposed.

description: We report on the HST detection of the Lyman-continuum (LyC) radiation emitted by a galaxy at redshift z=3.794, dubbed Ion1 (Vanzella et al. 2012). The LyC from Ion1 is detected at rest-frame wavelength 820$\sim$890 Åwith HST WFC3/UVIS in the F410M band ($m_{410}=27.60\pm0.36$ magnitude (AB), peak SNR = 4.17 in a circular aperture with radius r = 0.12'') and at 700$\sim$830 Åwith the VLT/VIMOS in the U-band ($m_U = 27.84\pm0.19$ magnitude (AB), peak SNR = 6.7 with a r = 0.6'' aperture). A 20-hr VLT/VIMOS spectrum shows low- and high-ionization interstellar metal absorption lines, the P-Cygni profile of CIV and Ly$α$ in absorption. The latter spectral feature differs from what observed in known LyC emitters, which show strong Ly$α$ emission. An HST far-UV color map reveals that the LyC emission escapes from a region of the galaxy that is bluer than the rest, presumably because of lower dust obscuration. The F410M image shows that the centroid of the LyC emission is offset from the centroid of the non-ionizing UV emission by 0.12''$\pm$0.03'', corresponding to 0.85$\pm$0.21 kpc (physical), and that its morphology is likely moderately resolved. These morphological characteristics favor a scenario where the LyC photons produced by massive stars escape from low HI column-density "cavities" in the ISM, possibly carved by stellar winds and/or supernova. We also collect the VIMOS U-band images of a sample of 107 Lyman-break galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts at $3.40

description: This paper presents a multimarket focxl crop supply/demand model for Indonesia and assesses the impact of food crop trade liberalization using the model. The results indicate that a trade liberalization policy would generate substantial net benefits to society because gains to consumers from reduced foOO expenditures are larger than losses in farm revenues. The net import bill for food commodities increases with trade liberalization due to increased demand for the liberalized commodities. However, because of the strong cross effects from price changes on the production and conswnption of other crops, increases in the import bill are moderated. Increases in import expenditures for food due to liberalization are small relative to total export earnings. The results suggest that Indonesia should reduce protective trade barriers for food crops and move towards trade liberalization. Given government ooncems with farm income and with potential adjustment problems in the process of liberalization, a possible alternative to full trade liberalization would be to permit free trade in food crops but to institute a moderate import tariff on the most highly protected commodities: soyabeans, sugar, and wheat. Full trade liberalization generates larger net welfare gains than free trade with moderate tariffs. However, a moderate tariff on soyabeans, wheat, and sugar combined witl;i free trade would reduce the degree of distortion of incentives to producers relative to current policies and would rationalize the current system of import controls and regulated transfer pricing that encourages inefficient rent seeking in the distribution of these commodities.
Binary white dwarfs and decihertz gravitational wave observations: From the Hubble constant to supernova astrophysics

description: Coalescences of binary white dwarfs represent a copious source of information for gravitational wave interferometers operating in the decihertz band. Moreover, according to the double degenerate scenario, they have been suggested to be possible progenitors of supernovae (SNe) Type Ia events. In this paper we discuss the detectability of gravitational waves emitted by the inspiral of double white dwarfs. We focus on the constraints that can be derived on the source's luminosity distance, and on other binary's parameters, such as the angular momentum orientation. We explore the possibility of coincident detections of gravitational and electromagnetic signals; the latter comes from the observation of the supernova counterpart. Confirmation of the double degenerate scenario would allow one to use distances inferred in the gravitational wave channel to consistently calibrate SNe as standard candles. We find that decihertz gravitational wave interferometers can measure the luminosity distance with relative accuracy better than $1\%$ for binaries at 100 Mpc. We show how multimessenger observations can put strong constraints on the Hubble constant, which are tighter than current bounds at low redshift, and how they can potentially shed new light on the differences with early-universe measurements.

Finite volume effects in chiral perturbation theory with twisted boundary conditions

description: We study the effects of a finite cubic volume with twisted boundary conditions on pseudoscalar mesons. We apply Chiral Perturbation Theory in the p-regime and introduce the twist by means of a constant vector field. The corrections of masses, decay constants, pseudoscalar coupling constants and form factors are calculated at next-to-leading order. We detail the derivations and compare with results available in the literature. In some case there is disagreement due to a different treatment of new extra terms generated from the breaking of the cubic invariance. We advocate to treat such terms as renormalization terms of the twisting angles and reabsorb them in the on-shell conditions. We confirm that the corrections of masses, decay constants, pseudoscalar coupling constants are related by means of chiral Ward identities. Furthermore, we show that the matrix elements of the scalar (resp. vector) form factor satisfies the Feynman–Hellman Theorem (resp. the Ward–Takahashi identity). To show the Ward–Takahashi identity we construct an effective field theory for charged pions which is invariant under electromagnetic gauge transformations and which reproduces the results obtained with Chiral Perturbation Theory at a vanishing momentum transfer. This generalizes considerations previously published for periodic boundary conditions to twisted boundary conditions. Another method to estimate the corrections in finite volume are asymptotic formulae. Asymptotic formulae were introduced by Lüscher and relate the corrections of a given physical quantity to an integral of a specific amplitude, evaluated in infinite volume. Here, we revise the original derivation of Lüscher and generalize it to finite volume with twisted boundary conditions. In some cases, the derivation involves complications due to extra terms generated from the breaking of the cubic invariance. We isolate such terms and treat them as renormalization terms just as done before. In that way, we derive asymptotic formulae for masses, decay constants, pseudoscalar coupling constants and scalar form factors. At the same time, we derive also asymptotic formulae for renormalization terms. We apply all these formulae in combination with Chiral Perturbation Theory and estimate the corrections beyond next-to-leading order. We show that asymptotic formulae for masses, decay constants, pseudoscalar coupling constants are related by means of chiral Ward identities. A similar relation connects in an independent way asymptotic formulae for renormalization terms. We check these relations for charged pions through a direct calculation. To conclude, a numerical analysis quantifies the importance of finite volume corrections at next-to-leading order and beyond. We perform a generic Analysis and illustrate two possible applications to real simulations.
Moduli stabilization and supersymmetry breaking in effective theories of strings

description: The region of moduli space of string theories which is most likely to describe the "real world" is where the string coupling is about unity and the volume of extra compact dimensions is about the same size as the string volume. Here we map the landscape of this "central" region in a model-independent way, assuming only that the string coupling and compact volume moduli are chiral superfields of N=1 supergravity in 4 dimensions, and requiring only widely accepted conditions: that the supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking scale is about the weak scale and that the cosmological constant be of acceptably small magnitude. We find that the superpotential has (in the supersymmetric limit) a fourth order zero in the SUSY breaking direction. The potential near the minimum is very steep in the SUSY preserving directions, and very flat in the SUSY breaking direction, consequently the SUSY breaking field has a weak scale mass, while other moduli are heavy. We also argue that there will be additional near by minima with a large negative cosmological constant.
