description: It is common in classical mechanics to encounter systems whose Hamiltonian $H$ is the sum of an often exactly integrable Hamiltonian $H_0$ and a small perturbation $εH_1$ with $ε\ll1$. Such near-integrability can be exploited to construct particularly accurate operator splitting methods to solve the equations of motion of $H$. However, in many cases, for example in problems related to planetary motion, it is computationally expensive to obtain the exact solution to $H_0$. In this paper we present a new family of embedded operator splitting (EOS) methods which do not use the exact solution to $H_0$, but rather approximate it with yet another, embedded operator splitting method. Our new methods have all the desirable properties of classical methods which solve $H_0$ directly. But in addition they are very easy to implement and in some cases faster. When applied to the problem of planetary motion, our EOS methods have error scalings identical to that of the often used Wisdom-Holman method but do not require a Kepler solver, nor any coordinate transformations, or the allocation of memory. The only two problem specific functions that need to be implemented are the straight-forward kick and drift steps typically used in the standard second order leap-frog method.

description: In stochastic finance, one traditionally considers the return as a competitive measure of an asset, {\it i.e.}, the profit generated by that asset after some fixed time span $Δt$, say one week or one year. This measures how well (or how bad) the asset performs over that given period of time. It has been established that the distribution of returns exhibits ``fat tails'' indicating that large returns occur more frequently than what is expected from standard Gaussian stochastic processes (Mandelbrot-1967,Stanley1,Doyne). Instead of estimating this ``fat tail'' distribution of returns, we propose here an alternative approach, which is outlined by addressing the following question: What is the smallest time interval needed for an asset to cross a fixed return level of say 10%? For a particular asset, we refer to this time as the {\it investment horizon} and the corresponding distribution as the {\it investment horizon distribution}. This latter distribution complements that of returns and provides new and possibly crucial information for portfolio design and risk-management, as well as for pricing of more exotic options. By considering historical financial data, exemplified by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, we obtain a novel set of probability distributions for the investment horizons which can be used to estimate the optimal investment horizon for a stock or a future contract.

description: We examine the effect on the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of chemical inhomogeneities in Bi2201 and Bi2212 single crystals. Cation disorder at the Sr crystallographic site is inherent in these materials and strongly affects the value of Tc. Partial substitution of Sr by Ln (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, and Bi) in Bi_{2}Sr_{1.6}Ln_{0.4}CuO_{6} results in a monotonic decrease of Tc with increasing ionic radius mismatch. By minimizing Sr site disorder at the expense of Ca site disorder, we demonstrate that the Tc of Bi2212 can be increased to 96 K. Based on these results we discuss the effects of chemical inhomogeneity in other bulk high-temperature superconductors.

description: R&E-SOURCE 15/2021: Die unterschiedlichen Konzepte und Begriffe der Umwelterziehung im deutschsprachigen Kontext – Umwelterziehung, -bildung, Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) und neuerdings auch Anthropozän – sind durch das gemeinsame Ziel vereint, Heranwachsende dahingehend zu unterstützen, ein kritisches/reflektiertes Umweltbewusstsein zu entwickeln. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, müssen Schulen nicht nur dafür sorgen, dass Schüler/innen sich ein fundiertes Fachwissen aneignen können, sondern auch dafür Sorge tragen, Räume zu eröffnen, in denen transformatives Lernen stattfinden kann. Der vorliegende Artikel zeichnet nach, wie unterschiedliche Konzepte und Verständnisse der Begriffe Umwelt und Lebensraum die Umwelterziehung in Schulen, aber auch deren Diskussion in der Scientific Community beeinflusst haben. Basierend auf einer philosophischen und historischen Analyse,die sich auf die Theorien von Mezirow, Habermas und Jaspers bezieht, wird dieNotwendigkeit einer Pädagogik für kontextsensibleund authentische Entwicklung herausgearbeitet, die bestehende Paradigmenauf konstruktive Weise vereint und den Menschenals integralen Bestandteil der Natur betrachtet. // The different concepts of environmental education in the German-speaking world – Umwelterziehung, -bildung, Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) and nowadays Anthropocene – are united in the common aim to support young people in developing an environmental consciousness. In order to meet this goal schools must not only equip students with sound knowledge but also need to create opportunities so that they can transform their ways of thinking about the environment. This paper first shows how different concepts of the terms Umwelt and Lebensraum in the past have had an impact on how environmental education has been discussed in the scientific communities and taught in schools. Based on a philosophical and historical review, drawing on theories by Mezirow, Habermas or Jaspers, this paper advocates the need for a Pädagogik für kontextsensibleund authentischeEntwicklung, a concept which unites existing paradigms in a constructive way, emphasizing the importance of seeing ourselves as integral part of the environment.

description: We propose a spatially continuous and temporally discrete model for pattern formation in vertically vibrated granular layers. The grain transfer and the grain mobility transitions are introduced qualitatively, but explicitly. This model reproduces experimentally observed f/2 patterns, including squares in high-mobility conditions and stripes in low-mobility conditions. Hexagons are obtained when a high-mobility condition and a low-mobility condition are alternately applied. We discuss this hexagon formation in connection with the formation of squares and stripes. In addition to the experimentally observed localized oscillon structures, this model also exhibits localized hexagonal structures. These localized hexagonal structures grow by nucleating oscillons of equal phase.

Eddy covariance for quantifying trace gas fluxes from soils
Creators: name: Eugster, Werner
name: Merbold, Lutz
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2014

description: Soils are highly complex physical and biological systems, and hence measuring soil gas exchange fluxes with high accuracy and adequate spatial representativity remains a challenge. A technique which has become increasingly popular is the eddy covariance (EC) method. This method takes advantage of the fact that surface fluxes are5 mixed into the near-surface atmosphere via turbulence. As a consequence, measurement with an EC system can be done at some distance above the surface, providing accurate and spatially integrated flux density estimates. In this paper we provide a basic overview targeting at scientists who are not familiar with the EC method. This reviews gives examples of successful deployments from a wide variety of ecosystems. The pri-10 mary focus is on the three major greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O). Several limitations to the application of EC systems exist, requiring a careful experimental design, which we discuss in detail. Thereby we group these experiments into two main classes: (1) manipulative experiments, and (2) survey-type experiments. Recommendations and examples of successful studies15 using various approaches, including the combination of EC flux measurements with online measurements of stable isotopes are given. We conclude that EC should not be considered a substitution of traditional flux measurements, but an addition to the latter. The greatest strength of EC measurements in soil science are (1) their uninterrupted continuous measurement of gas concentrations and fluxes that also can capture short-20 term bursts of fluxes that easily could be missed by other methods; and (2) the spatial integration covering the ecosystem scale (several m² to ha), thereby integrating over small-scale heterogeneity in the soil.

description: Cattle production contributes about 2.2% of US greenhouse gas emissions. The adoption of prescribed grazing (PG) could reduce these emissions. Grass-fed beef products command price premiums; whether beef produced with PG programs would do likewise is not known. This research estimates consumer willingness-to-pay for beef grown using the PG technology.
Diffusiophoresis, Batchelor scale and effective Péclet numbers

description: We study the joint mixing of colloids and salt released together in a stagnation point or in a globally chaotic flow. In the presence of salt inhomogeneities, the mixing time is strongly modified depending on the sign of the diffusiophoretic coefficient $D_\mathrm{dp}$. Mixing is delayed when $D_\mathrm{dp}>0$ (salt-attracting configuration), or faster when $D_\mathrm{dp}<0$ (salt-repelling configuration). In both configurations, as for molecular diffusion alone, large scales are barely affected in the dilating direction while the Batchelor scale for the colloids, $\ell_{c,\mathrm{diff}}$, is strongly modified by diffusiophoresis. We propose here to measure a global effect of diffusiophoresis in the mixing process through an effective Péclet number built on this modified Batchelor scale. Whilst this small scale is obtained analytically for the stagnation point, in the case of chaotic advection, we derive it using the equation of gradients of concentration, following Raynal \& Gence (\textit{Intl J. Heat Mass Transfer}, vol. 40 (14), 1997, pp. 3267--3273). Comparing to numerical simulations, we show that the mixing time can be predicted by using the same function as in absence of salt, but as a function of the effective Péclet numbers computed for each configuration. The approach is shown to be valid when the ratio $D_\mathrm{dp}^2/D_s D_c \gg 1$, where $D_c$ and $D_s$ are the diffusivities of the colloids and salt.

description: Space-based transit surveys have revolutionized our understanding of the frequency of small rocky planets at small orbital radii around sunlike stars. The next generation of extremely large telescopes will have the angular resolution and sensitivity to directly image rocky planets around the very nearest stars (Wang et al.). Here we predict yields of the METIS instrument (Brandl et al. 2018), planned for the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Using Kepler occurrence rates, a selection of nearby stars, and simulated contrast curves based on an advanced model of coronagraphic imaging with adaptive optics with METIS on the ELT, we estimate the expected yield from METIS using Monte Carlo simulations. We find the METIS expected yield of planets in the N2 (10.0–12.5 μm) band which outperforms the L (3.6–4.0 μm) and M (4.8–5.0 μm) bands. We also determine the chance of at least one rocky planet detection in the contrast limited regime and at least one Jovian planet in the background limited regime. We find the yield per star and optimal revisit times to increase yield. Finally, we present an optimal observing strategy in order to maximize the possible yield for limited telescope time.

For these reasons we examined the perceptions and misperceptions of the terms local and organic, specifically focusing on differences between U.S. and Canadian consumers. Our results show that a subset of consumers correctly identifies the main characteristics of local and organic. However, there is a subset of consumers that has inaccurate perceptions of these terms. Comparing U.S. and Canadian consumers we see numerous significant perception differences, especially with regard to local.

description: Industry 4.0 applications foster new business opportunities but they also pose new and challenging requirements, such as low latency communications and highly reliable systems. They enable to exploit novel wireless technologies (5G), but it would also be crucial to rely on architectures that appropriately support them. Thus, the combination of fog and cloud computing is emerging as one potential solution. It can dynamically allocate the workload depending on the specific needs of each application. Our main goal is to provide a highly reliable and dynamic architecture, which minimizes the time that an end node or user, for instance a car in a smart mobility application, spends in downloading the required data. In order to achieve this, we have developed an optimal distribution algorithm that decides, based on multiple parameters of the proposed system model, the amount of information that should be stored at, or retrieved from, each node to minimize the data download time. Our scheme exploits Network Coding (NC) as a tool for data distribution, as a key enabler of the proposed solution. We compare the performance of our proposed scheme with other alternative solutions, and the results show that there is a clear gain in terms of the download time.

description: The aim of this study is to elaborate on a map of agricultural potential for investing in new sugarcane plants in Brazil. A study of operational efficiency was conducted using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in which it was possible to identify in 2009 the most efficient plants out of a universe of 355. Quantitative analysis suggests a tendency for efficient plants to be large and located in the state of São Paulo. Operational efficiency was proven to depend on the variables of size and location in which the state of São Paulo has a greater concentration of favorable edaphoclimatic conditions for extracting sugarcane with higher sucrose content. An analysis of agricultural potential in the Brazilian territory suggests the installation of new energy plants in regions that present favorable edaphoclimatic conditions and greater efficiency indexes. The states that were proven favorable, in terms of operational efficiency, are Alagoas, Pernambuco and certain regions of Minas Gerais, Paraná and Mato Grosso do Sul.

description: The dimension function D_psi of a band-limited wavelet is bounded by n if the support of its Fourier transform is contained in the interval [-{2^(n+2)/3}pi, {2^(n+2)/3}pi]. For each positive integer n and for each epsilon > 0, we construct a wavelet psi with support of $\hat psi$ contained in [-{2^(n+2)/3}pi, {2^(n+2)/3}pi + epsilon] such that D_psi > n on a set of positive measure, which proves that [-{2^(n+2)/3}pi, {2^(n+2)/3}pi] is the largest symmetric interval for estimating the dimension function by n.

description: Electric sails are propulsion systems that generate momentum via the deflection of stellar wind particles through electric forces. Here, we investigate the relative merits of electric sails and light sails driven by stellar radiation pressure for F-, G-, K- and M-type stellar systems. We show that electric sails originating near M-dwarfs could attain terminal speeds of $\sim 500$ km/s for minimal payload masses. In contrast, light sails are typically rendered ineffective for late-type M-dwarfs because the radiation pressure is not sufficiently high to overcome the gravitational acceleration. Our analysis indicates that electric sails are better propulsion systems for interplanetary travel than light sails in proximity to most stars. We also delineate a method by which repeated encounters with stars might cumulatively boost the speeds of light sails to $\gtrsim 0.1\,c$, thereby making them more suitable for interstellar travel. This strategy can be effectuated by reaching $\sim 10^5$ stars over the span of $\sim 10$ Myr.

description: Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe. The Sun's magnetic field drives the solar wind and causes solar flares and other energetic surface phenomena that profoundly affect space weather here on Earth. The first magnetic field in a star other than the Sun was detected in 1947 in the peculiar A-type star 78 Vir. It is now known that the magnetic fields of the Sun and other low-mass stars (<1.5 solar masses) are generated in-situ by a dynamo process in their turbulent, convective envelopes. Unlike such stars, intermediate-mass and high-mass stars (>1.5 solar masses; referred to as "massive" stars here) have relatively quiet, radiative envelopes where a solar-like dynamo cannot operate. However, about 10% of them, including 78 Vir, have strong, large-scale surface magnetic fields whose origin has remained a major mystery. The massive star $τ$ Sco is a prominent member of this group and appears to be surprisingly young compared to other presumably coeval members of the Upper Scorpius association. Here, we present the first 3D magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of the coalescence of two massive main-sequence stars and 1D stellar evolution computations of the subsequent evolution of the merger product that can explain $τ$ Sco's magnetic field, apparent youth and other observed characteristics. We argue that field amplification in stellar mergers is a general mechanism to form strongly-magnetised massive stars. These stars are promising progenitors of those neutron stars that host the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe, so-called magnetars, and that may give rise to some of the enigmatic fast radio bursts. Strong magnetic fields affect the explosions of core-collapse supernovae and, moreover, those magnetic stars that have rapidly-rotating cores at the end of their lives might provide the right conditions to power long-duration gamma-ray bursts and super-luminous supernovae.

description: This study assesses consumer motivations for attending farmers’ markets through in-person survey data. Results indicate that consumers attend primarily to purchase fresh produce, followed by social interaction. Purchasing ready-to-eat foods or packaged foods, arts, and crafts were not strong motivators. Consumers attending primarily to purchase fresh produce tend to be married females at higher income levels, individuals with strong diet or health concerns, and individuals who are supportive of local farming and agriculture open space. Those attending for social interaction are more likely to be unmarried males or larger families attending events. Implications for market vendors, managers, and policy makers are discussed.

description: Ethanol plants sit at the intersection of three main supply chains, involving the procurement of feedstocks and the marketing of ethanol and distillers grains. A transaction cost framework assesses the extent to which uncertainty, asset specificity, and transaction frequency create incentives for opportunistic behavior by exchange partners leading to problems of hold-up. Using case study evidence from the western Canadian ethanol sector, solutions to the hold-up risks facing ethanol plants are explored. Contracting and integration feature strongly in downstream output markets. The positioning of the ethanol enterprise within a firm’s overall business model, whether as a stand-alone investment or as a forward or backward integration strategy, is an important consideration for future supply chain research in this sector.

description: We investigate the statistics of eigenfunction intensities ${\cal P}(|ψ|^2)$ in dynamical systems with classical chaotic diffusion. Our results contradict some recent theoretical considerations which challenge the applicability of field theoretical predictions, derived in a different framework for diffusive disordered samples. For two-dimensional systems, the tails of ${\cal P}(|ψ|^2)$ contradict the results of the optimal fluctuation method, but agree very well with the predictions of the non-linear $σ-$model.

VLT/XShooter spectroscopy of Lyman Break Analogs: direct method O/H abundances and nitrogen enhancements

description: We used VLT/XShooter to target a sample of nearby analogs of Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs). These Lyman Break Analogs (LBAs) are similar to the LBGs in many of their physical properties. We determine electron temperatures using the weak [O III]4363 emission line, and determine the oxygen abundance (O/H) using the direct and strong line methods. We show that the direct and strong line abundances are consistent with established relations within ~0.2 dex. The analogs have nitrogen-to-oxygen ratios (N/O) and ionization parameters (q) that are, on average, offset with respect to typical local galaxies but similar to galaxies at z ~ 2 and other analogs. The N/O and q excesses correlate with the offsets observed in the strong line ratios, again similar to z ~ 2. The star formation rate surface densities are consistent with the high electron density and ionization, indicating that the interstellar medium (ISM) pressure is set by feedback from the starbursts. For a given O/H, the apparent N/O excess arises due to the offset in O/H with respect to the local mass-metallicity relation. This can be explained by recent inflow of relatively metal-poor gas which lowers O/H while leaving N/O unchanged. The difficulties in determining even basic ISM parameters in these nearby analogs illustrates some of the challenges we face at much higher redshifts, where similar rest-frame optical diagnostics for large samples of galaxies can be accessed with JWST.
