description: The space of density matrices is embedded in a Euclidean space to deduce the dynamical equation satisfied by the state of an open quantum system. The Euclidean norm is used to obtain an explicit expression for the speed of the evolution of the state. The unitary contribution to the evolution speed is given by the modified skew information of the Hamiltonian, while the radial component of the evolution speed, connected to the rate at which the purity of the state changes, is shown to be determined by the modified skew information of the Lindblad operators. An open-system analogue of the quantum navigation problem is posed, and a perturbative analysis is presented to identify the amount of change on the speed. Properties of the evolution speed are examined further through example systems, showing that the evolution speed need not be a decreasing function of time.

description: This document provides a detailed implementation plan for WP3 “Engage, Empower & Take a role” activities, involving GenB ambassadors throughout the GenB project, and will be revised every six months. The WP leader (FVA) coordinated the preparation of this document, defining the methodological approach with the support of all task leaders (APRE, Q-PLAN, ZSI), and in coordination with WP2 leader (BTG), to ensure the adoption of a similar approach for the implementation plan of WP2 (D2.1).The objective of this deliverable is to provide a practical guidebook for the partners in the implementation of WP3 activities, providing for each task:

overview of each activity, with target audiences, objectives, KPI and target countries;

objective and expected outcomes;

description of the activity, to provide an overview of how the activity will take place, what are the most suitable contexts;

inspirational previous experiences: since GenB is deeply rooted in previous projects like Transition2BIO, Biobridges, BIOVOICES, BLOOM, Allthings.bioPRO, as well as experiences from similar initiatives mobilizing and involving young people, this document aggregates the most relevant previous experiences, among the ones mapped and analysed. The aim is to identify and extract lessons learnt to be implemented for the design of WP3 activities including tips, with a particular focus on what worked and what didn’t work;

guidelines for the implementation, with the aim of providing a step-by-step implementation plan for the partners to organise the activities. It should be noted that some guidelines for the implementation will be further elaborated in the next steps of GenB project, in collaboration with task leaders and all partners responsible for the implementation.

An initial timeline for the implementation of all WP3 activities is also provided.

description: The possibility of discriminating the statistics of a thermal bath using indirect measurements performed on quantum probes is presented. The scheme relies on the fact that, when weakly coupled with the environment of interest, the transient evolution of the probe toward its final thermal configuration, is strongly affected by the fermionic or bosonic nature of the bath excitations. Using figures of merit taken from quantum metrology such as the Holevo-Helstrom probability of error and the Quantum Chernoff bound, we discuss how to achieve the greatest precision in this statistics tagging procedure, analyzing different models of probes and different initial preparations and by optimizing over the time of exposure of the probe.

description: We analyze how the CFL states in dense matter work in the direction of enhancing the parameter space for absolutely stable phases (strange matter). We find that the "CFL strange matter" phase can be the true ground state of hadronic matter for a much wider range of the parameters of the model (the gap of the QCD Cooper pairs $Δ$, the strange quark mass $m_s$ and the Bag Constant $B$) than the state without any pairing, and derive a full equation of state and an accurate analytic approximation to the lowest order in $Δ$ and $m_{s}$ which may be directly used for applications. The effects of pairing on the equation of state are found to be small (as previously expected) but not negligible and may be relevant for astrophysics.

description: The objective of the paper is to establish an empirical relationship between household characteristics and tobacco growers’ perception of the impact of the FDA regulation. A logistic model is applied on primary data that came from the Center for Tobacco Grower Research’s (CTGR’s) 2011 mail survey of tobacco producers. Results indicate that over 80 percent of the sample tobacco growers are concerned about the impact of the FDA regulation. The profiles of growers who reported to be concerned about the impact of the FDA regulation are not significantly different from those of growers who reported that they are not concerned or somewhat concerned. This result highlights the importance of engaging all groups of growers in discussion to elaborate whether, and if so how the FDA regulation would actually affect tobacco production, and how growers should adjust in light of the expected changes. This would help growers build confidence in the industry, and work towards making the necessary changes in agricultural practices that would help address the regulatory issues related to the contents of tobacco products. Given the widespread concern, the failure to do so could have a negative impact on resource allocation and investment decisions because of an overreaction to a potentially erroneous perception of the impact of the FDA regulation.
Dissecting a disk-instability outburst in a symbiotic star: $NuSTAR$, and $Swift$ observations of T Coronae Borealis during the rise to the "super-active" state

description: The current $super-active$ state of the recurrent nova T CrB has been observed with unprecedented detail. Previously published observations provide strong evidence that this state is due to an enhancement of the flow of material through the accretion disk, which increased the optical depth of its most internal region, the boundary layer. $NuSTAR$ and $Swift$ observed T CrB in 2015 September, roughly halfway through the rise to optical maximum. In our analysis of these data, we have found that: $i$) the UV emission, as observed with $Swift$/UVOT in 2015, was already as bright as it became in 2017, after the optical peak; $ii$) the soft X-ray emission (E $\lesssim$ 0.6 keV) observed in 2017 after the optical peak, on the other hand, had not yet developed during the rising phase in 2015; $iii$) the hard X-ray emitting plasma (E $\gtrsim$ 2 keV) had the same temperature and about half the flux of that observed during quiescence in 2006. This phenomenology is akin to that observed during dwarf novae in outburst, but with the changes in the spectral energy distribution happening on a far longer time scale.

description: Using two sibling species, Drosophila jambulina and D. punjabiensis, interspecific crossabilty were examined in natural as well as laboratory conditions. Collection record showed that hybrids are found only in specific hybrid zone having higher temperature variation suggesting an increased fitness in hybrid zone. In laboratory condition, plastic effects on thermo-tolerance traits (heat knockdown and cold recovery) were investigated by growing parental species [D. jambulina and D. punjabiensis at four growth temperatures (17 to 28 °C)] and their hybrids at six growth temperatures (15 to 31 °C). Hybrids showed higher plasticity for melanization (~ 58%) and thermo-tolerance traits (CV = 39.14 for heat resistance and CV = 43.15 for cold resistance) at different growth temperatures. Acclimation effects were also significant in hybrids (F = 47.89 for heat resistance and F = 56.87 for cold resistance) suggesting an adaptive potential. Results of this study imply that hybridization increases genetic variation which in turn leads to adaptation to new environments. The genetic data obtained in this study would be useful not only for testing basic predictions about evolution but also for understanding the evolutionary significance of hybrids.

description: We investigate the relation between various statistical ensembles of finite systems. If ensembles differ at the level of fluctuations of the order parameter, we show that the equations of states can present major differences. A sufficient condition for this inequivalence to survive at the thermodynamical limit is worked out. If energy consists in a kinetic and a potential part, the microcanonical ensemble does not converge towards the canonical ensemble when the partial heat capacities per particle fulfill the relation $c_{k}^{-1}+c_{p}^{-1}<0$.

description: China was admitted into the WTO in December 2001 and this raised the hopes of the US that China will open up to agricultural trade with the US. However, this potential has not been realized. The goal of this study is to determine the impacts of trade impediments and barriers of the market access of US oilseeds and grains in China. A market access variable that was obtained by dividing the total value of U.S soybean and corn exports to China by U.S agricultural G.D.P was regressed on China’s per capita income, exchange rate of the yuan to the dollar, arable land to labor ratio in the U.S and a dummy variable representing China’s WTO accession. The result found per capita income to have a positive impact on market access of U.S oilseeds and grains in China. Exchange rate of the yuan to the dollar was found to be significant and has a negative impact on market access. However, China’s WTO accession and the arable land to labor ratio in the U.S did not have any significance on the market access of U.S oilseeds and grains.

shape-based similarity screening

description: The principle that molecules with similar shapes are likely to share similar biological activity has recently been increasingly used to screen large databases in drug discovery. Mathematical approximations to molecular shape are less expensive to compute than quantum-mechanical models, while still allowing for consideration of the different conformers a molecule can adopt. These methods also enable scaffold hopping, which can aid rescue of drug candidates found to have issues such as poor solubility or toxicity.
 This poster, presented at the YMF2021 conference, outlines a new approach to represent shape by approximating the molecular surface using the quantised Kähler potential (a concept taken from differential geometry). The surface is treated as topologically equivalent to a sphere embedded in complex projective space, with the Kähler potential is then calculated as a Taylor series. This represents a molecule using a Hermitian Matrix, whose dimensions depend on the number of terms included in the Taylor expansion of the function. The distance between two matrices then allows us to determine their similarity. We present our results from initial development of the method, as well as some of the challenges faced, and an outline of our proposed benchmark study to compare our new method to existing open-source software.

description: The relationship between trade and productivity has not been established theoretically. Some researchers have indeed found some, if not complete, support for the view that increasing openness has a positive impact on productivity. This study used a Cobb-Douglas production function as in Miller and Upadhyay (2000) to estimate the impact of FDI, exchange rate, capital-labor ratio and trade openness on GDP for 38 African countries from 1980 to 2008. Data were transformed to natural logs and estimated using alternative panel models; which included one- or-two-way fixed or random effects models. The results found trade openness having a positive relationship with GDP; which is comparable to findings of Ahmed et al.; (2008).

description: We present results of three-dimensional MHD simulations of recurrent eruptions in emerging flux regions. The initial numerical setup is the same with the work by Syntelis et al. 2017 (hereafter, Paper I). Here, we perform a parametric study on the magnetic field strength ($B_0$) of the emerging field. The kinetic energy of the produced ejective eruptions in the emerging flux region ranges from $10^{26}-10^{28}$ erg, reaching up to the energies of small Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). The kinetic and magnetic energies of the eruptions scale linearly in a logarithmic plot. We find that the eruptions are triggered earlier for higher $B_0$ and that $B_0$ is not directly correlated to the frequency of occurrence of the eruptions. Using large numerical domains, we show the initial stage of the partial merging of two colliding erupting fields. The partial merging occurs partly by the reconnection between the field lines of the following and the leading eruption at the interface between them. We also find that tether-cutting reconnection of the field lines of the leading eruption underneath the following eruption magnetically links the two eruptions. Shocks develop inside the leading eruption during the collision.

description: An example is given of a simple, unital C*-algebra which contains an infinite and a non-zero finite projection. This C*-algebra is also an example of an infinite simple C*-algebra which is not purely infinite. A corner of this C*-algebra is a finite, simple, unital C*-algebra which is not stably finite. Our example shows that the type decomposition for von Neumann factors does not carry over to simple C*-algebras. Added March 2002: We also give an example of a simple, separable, nuclear C*-algebra in the UCT class which contains an infinite and a non-zero finite projection. This nuclear C*-algebra arises as a crossed product of an inductive limit of type I C*-algebras by an action of the integers.

description: We propose a theory that treats the current, noise, and, generally, the full current statistics of electron transfer in a mesoscopic system in a unified, simple and efficient way. The theory appears to be a circuit theory of $2\times 2$ matrices associated with Keldysh Green functions. We illustrate the theory by considering the big fluctuations of currents in various three-terminal circuits.

description: Local foods are a growing but small component of U.S. agriculture. Local foods typically refers to foods produced near their point of consumption, but there is no consensus as to what distances constitute local. Other characteristics are also used to define local foods, including production methods, types of producers, and whether the foods are sold directly to consumers or to food distributors.

description: We extend previous analyses on the interplay between nonuniversalities in the gaugino mass sector and the thermal relic densities of LSP neutralinos, in particular to the case of moderate to large tan beta. We introduce a set of parameters that generalizes the standard unified scenario to cover the complete allowed parameter space in the gaugino mass sector. We discuss the physical significance of the cosmologically preferred degree of degeneracy between charginos and the LSP and study the effect this degree of degeneracy has on the prospects for direct detection of relic neutralinos in the next round of dark matter detection experiments. Lastly, we compare the fine tuning required to achieve a satisfactory relic density with the case of universal gaugino masses, as in minimal supergravity, and find it to be of a similar magnitude. The sensitivity of quantifiable measures of fine-tuning on such factors as the gluino mass and top and bottom masses is also examined.

description: Spontaneous preterm delivery presents one of the most complex challenges in obstetrics and is a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Although it is a common endpoint for multiple pathological processes, the mechanisms governing the etiological complexity of spontaneous preterm birth and the placental responses are poorly understood. This study examined placental tissues collected between May 2019 and May 2022 from a well-defined cohort of women who experienced spontaneous preterm birth (n = 72) and healthy full-term deliveries (n = 30). Placental metabolomic profiling of polar metabolites was performed using Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC/MS) analysis. The resulting data were analyzed using multi- and univariate statistical methods followed by unsupervised clustering. A comprehensive metabolomic evaluation of the placenta revealed that spontaneous preterm birth was associated with significant changes in the levels of 34 polar metabolites involved in intracellular energy metabolism and biochemical activity, including amino acids, purine metabolites, and small organic acids. We found that neither the preterm delivery phenotype nor the inflammatory response explain the reported differential placental metabolome. However, unsupervised clustering revealed two molecular subtypes of placentas from spontaneous preterm pregnancies exhibiting differential enrichment of clinical parameters. We also identified differences between early and late preterm samples, suggesting distinct placental functions in early spontaneous preterm delivery. Altogether, we present evidence that spontaneous preterm birth is associated with significant changes in the level of placental polar metabolites. Dysregulation of the placental metabolome may underpin important (patho)physiological mechanisms involved in preterm birth etiology and long-term neonatal outcomes.

We then use the classical Darboux transformation for isothermic surfaces to construct a Bäcklund transformation for this equation and prove a superposition formula for its solutions. As an application we discuss 1 and 2-soliton solutions and the corresponding surfaces.

description: Much faith has been put in the increased supply of education as a means to promote national economic development and as a way to assist the poor and the disadvantaged. However, the benefits that nations can obtain by increasing the level of education of their workforce depends on the availability of other forms of capital to complement the use of its educated workforce in production. Generally, less developed nations are lacking in complementary capital compared to more developed ones and it is appropriate for less developed countries to spend relatively less on education. The contribution of education to economic growth depends on a nation’s stage of economic development. It is only when a nation becomes relatively developed that education becomes a major contributor to economic growth. It is possible for less developed nations to retard their economic growth by favouring investment in educational capital rather than other forms of capital. Easy access to education is often portrayed as a powerful force for assisting the poor and the disadvantaged. Several reasons are given here as to why it may not be so effective in assisting the poor and in promoting greater income equality even though the aim is a worthy one. Also, an economic argument is presented in favour of special education for the physically and mentally handicapped. This paper is not intended to belittle the contribution of education to economic development nor to devalue the ideal of making basic education available to all. Instead, it is intended as an antidote to inflated claims about the ability of greater investment in education to promote economic growth and about the ability of more widespread access to education to reduce poverty and decrease income inequality.

description: The United Nations’ Millennium Declaration, passed by the General Assembly in September 2000, is assessed with particular attention being given to the Millennium Development Goals and associated targets outlined in the Declaration. The focus of the article is not so much on the extent to which these goals are being met but on the adequacy of the Declaration itself. The fundamental values outlined in the Declaration are listed and assessed. The Millennium Development Goals are means for the attainment of these values, along with some other objectives specified in the Declaration. Both sets of objectives are examined, with most attention being given to the Millennium Development Goals and Targets. The Millennium Development Goals aim to reduce social and economic disadvantage globally by the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, by achieving universal primary education, by promoting greater equality, and by satisfying particular health goals. In addition, they include the aim of ensuring environmental sustainability and the creation of a global partnership for development.

Smallholder compliance with private standard certification: the case of GlobalGAP adoption by mango producers in Peru

description: The prevalence of food quality standards in international trade is constantly increasing and has a growing influence on developing countries. A wide range of literature in development economics has focused on the debate of whether international standards exclude small-scale farmers from high-value food markets. In fact, the evidence is mixed. New debates arise on what conditions small farmers can really comply with, pointing out both threshold capital requirements, on the one hand, and industry structure and institutional environment, on the other hand. Drawing on a microeconomic approach, our paper is a contribution to the literature exploring the patterns and determinants of smallholders’ adoption of the food standard. We focus our case study on GlobalGAP adoption by small-scale fresh mango producers in Peru. Based on an analysis of primary data collected on the Peruvian mango sector, we show empirically that a few smallholders are engaged in GlobalGAP certification for a maximum of 3 years. They comply with the standard thanks to the support of exporting companies. Exporters offer the farmers contract farming, which includes technical advice and the annual certification cost. Nonetheless, farmers who are integrating into this high value-added supply chain seem to be selected on the basis of their proximity to the exporter plant (reducing transaction costs) and their ability to become reliable suppliers over the long term (experienced, specialized, and used to respecting contracts). These farms also must demonstrate their ability to deliver with short lead times (presence of mobile phone, distance to the plant). Finally, the paper underlines the key role of exporters in Peru as intermediaries and organizers in the way smallholders may participate in private standards in agrifood value chains.
Conclusive Evidence on the Benefits of Temporal Disaggregation to Improve the Precision of Time Series Model Forecasts

description: Simulation methods are used to measure the expected differentials between the Mean Square Errors of the forecasts from models based on temporally disaggregated versus aggregated data. This allows for novel comparisons including long-order ARMA models, such as those expected with weekly data, under realistic conditions where the parameter values have to be estimated. The ambivalence of past empirical evidence on the benefits of disaggregation is addressed by analyzing four different economic time series for which relatively large sample sizes are available. Because of this, a sufficient number of predictions can be considered to obtain conclusive results from out-of-sample forecasting contests. The validity of the conventional method for inferring the order of the aggregated models is revised.
Enveloping superalgebra U(osp(1|2)) and orthogonal polynomials in discrete indeterminate
Creators: name: Sergeev, Alexander
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Representation Theory (math.RT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let $A$ be an associative simple (central) superalgebra over ${\mathbb C}$ and $L$ an invariant linear functional on it (trace). Let $a\mapsto a^t$ be an antiautomorphism of $A$ such that $(a^t)^ t=(-1)^{p(a)}a$, where $p(a)$ is the parity of $a$, and let $L(a^t)=L(a)$. Then $A$ admits a nondegenerate supersymmetric invariant bilinear form $\langle a, b\rangle=L(ab^t)$. For $A=U({\mathfrak{sl}}(2))/{\mathfrak{m}}$, where ${\mathfrak{m}}$ is any maximal ideal of $U({\mathfrak{sl}}(2))$, Leites and I have constructed orthogonal basis in $A$ whose elements turned out to be, essentially, Chebyshev (Hahn) polynomials in one discrete variable. Here I take $A=U({\mathfrak{osp}}(1|2))/{\mathfrak{m}}$ for any maximal ideal ${\mathfrak{m}}$ and apply a similar procedure. As a result we obtain either Hahn polynomials over ${\mathbb C}[τ]$, where $τ^2\in{\mathbb C}$, or a particular case of Meixner polynomials, or --- when $A=\mbox{Mat}(n+1|n)$ --- dual Hahn polynomials of even degree, or their (hopefully, new) analogs of odd degree. Observe that the nondegenerate bilinear forms we consider for orthogonality are, as a rule, not sign definite.
