Supersymmetric Thermalization and Quasi-Thermal Universe: Consequences for Gravitinos and Leptogenesis

description: Motivated by our earlier paper \cite{am}, we discuss how the infamous gravitino problem has a natural built in solution within supersymmetry. Supersymmetry allows a large number of flat directions made up of {\it gauge invariant} combinations of squarks and sleptons. Out of many at least {\it one} generically obtains a large vacuum expectation value during inflation. Gauge bosons and Gauginos then obtain large masses by virtue of the Higgs mechanism. This makes the rate of thermalization after the end of inflation very small and as a result the Universe enters a {\it quasi-thermal phase} after the inflaton has completely decayed. A full thermal equilibrium is generically established much later on when the flat direction expectation value has substantially decareased. This results in low reheat temperatures, i.e., $T_{\rm R}\sim {\cal O}({\rm TeV})$, which are compatible with the stringent bounds arising from the big bang nucleosynthesis. There are two very important implications: the production of gravitinos and generation of a baryonic asymmetry via leptogenesis during the quasi-thermal phase. In both the cases the abundances depend not only on an effective temperature of the quasi-thermal phase (which could be higher, i.e., $T\gg T_{\rm R}$), but also on the state of equilibrium in the reheat plasma. We show that there is no ``thermal gravitino problem'' at all within supersymmetry and we stress on a need of a new paradigm based on a ``quasi-thermal leptogenesis'', because in the bulk of the parameter space the {\it old} thermal leptogenesis cannot account for the observed baryon asymmetry.

description: Prior to 2019, the June epsilon Ophiuchids (JEO) were known as a minor unconfirmed meteor shower with activity that was considered typically moderate for bright fireballs. An unexpected bout of enhanced activity was observed in June 2019, which even raised the possibility that it was linked to the impact of the small asteroid 2019 MO near Puerto Rico. Early reports also point out the similarity of the shower to the orbit of the comet 300P/Catalina. We aim to analyze the orbits, emission spectra, and material strengths of JEO meteoroids to provide a characterization of this stream, identify its parent object, and evaluate its link to the impacting asteroid 2019 MO. Our analysis is based on a sample of 22 JEO meteor orbits and four emission spectra observed by the AMOS network at the Canary Islands and in Chile. The link to potential parent objects was evaluated using a combination of orbital-similarity D-criteria and backwards integration of the orbit of comet 300P and the JEO stream. We confirm the reports of an unexpected swarm of meteoroids originating in the JEO stream. JEO meteoroids have low material strengths characteristic for fragile cometary bodies, and they exhibit signs of a porous structure. The emission spectra reveal slightly increased iron content compared to all other measured cometary streams, but they are generally consistent with a primitive chondritic composition. Further dynamical analysis suggests that the JEO stream is likely to originate from comet 300P/Catalina and that it was formed within the last 1000 years. Over longer timescales, the meteoroids in the stream move to chaotic orbits due to the turbulent orbital evolution of the comet. Our results also suggest that the impact of the small asteroid 2019 MO on June 22 was not connected to the JEO activity.

description: The EU is obliged to ensure sustainable utilization of the fisheries’ resources to which EU fleets have access to, both in the high seas and through bilateral agreements, based on the principles of good economic and social governance. This is mainly done through cooperation with Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and national authorities in partnership countries to improve knowledge and management of the fisheries. Inadequate governance of these fisheries can hinder the goal of sustainable utilization of fisheries’ resources, resulting in suboptimal or over-exploitation of shared and straddling fish stocks. On the other hand, limited knowledge regarding the processing and market conditions in partner coastal states has contributed to substantial criticism regarding the social and economic benefits that the international fisheries actually bring to the partners’ countries. In line with the overall objective of the FarFish project to ensure sustainability and profitability in EU fisheries outside of Europe, this report utilises the knowledge acquired across the different work packages in the FarFish project to identify challenges and opportunities for improvements in the FarFish case studies regarding governance structure, social and economic issues. This analysis is twofold: 1) identification of institutional challenges obstructing the achievement of the intended governance principles as expressed in the relevant fisheries agreements; 2) analysis of the processing and market strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for the selected case studies, which are then summarized in the form of road maps, which visualize the pathways towards achieving the ambitions identified for the FarFish project.

description: This study links food insecurity status of farming households in the study area to their income diversification strategies. Data for the study were collected from 400 farming households in Osun State of the southwestern Nigeria. Households were classified into four categories based on how they obtain a living. Descriptive statistics, Cost of Calorie Function (COC) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Income diversification strategies of the households involved – combinations of crop production with livestock enterprises; crop production with off farm activities; off farm activities with livestock enterprises and crop production only; at 60.0%, 10.0%, 8.0%, and 22.0% of households respectively. Income diversification strategies have significant influence on food insecurity at x2<0.001. Households that depend more on off farm income ranked the best, having the highest surplus index of 0.71 and the least shortfall index of 0.21 which indicate that the food secure households exceed the calorie requirement by 71% while the food insecure households fell short of the recommended calorie intake by 21%. The head count ratio shows that 82% of individuals in this group are food secure while 18% are food insecure. Households that rely solely on crop production ranked the least. A shortfall index of 0.41 and a surplus index of 0.62 indicate that food insecure households in this group fell short of the recommended calorie intake by 41% while food secure households exceed the calorie requirement by 62%. Head count ratio reveals that 79% of the individuals are food secure while 21% are food insecure. Results have shown that food insecurity among farming households in the study area was influenced by Income diversification strategies.

description: Atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) has been used extensively for synthesizing two-dimensional (2D) materials, due to its low cost and promise for high-quality monolayer crystal synthesis. However, the understanding of the reaction mechanism and the key parameters affecting the APCVD processes is still in its embryonic stage. Hence, the scalability of the APCVD method in achieving large scale continuous film remains very poor. Here, we use MoSe2 as a model system and present a fluid guided growth strategy for understanding and controlling the growth of 2D materials. Through the integration of experiment and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis in the full-reactor scale, we identified three key parameters: precursor mixing, fluid velocity and shear stress, which play a critical role in the APCVD process. By modifying the geometry of the growth setup, to enhance precursor mixing and decrease nearby velocity shear rate and adjusting flow direction, we have successfully obtained inch-scale monolayer MoSe2. This unprecedented success of achieving scalable 2D materials through fluidic design lays the foundation for designing new CVD systems to achieve the scalable synthesis of nanomaterials.

description: Suppose $f\in L^p(\mathbb{D})$, where $p\geq1$ and $\mathbb{D}$ is the unit disk. Let $\mathfrak{J}_0$ be the integral operator defined as follows: $\mathfrak{J}_0[f](z)=\int_{\mathbb{D}}\frac{z}{1-\bar{w}z}f(w)\mathrm{d}A(w)$, where $z$, $w\in\mathbb{D}$ and $\mathrm{d}A(w)=\frac{1}π\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y$ is the normalized area measure on $\mathbb{D}$. Suppose $\mathfrak{J}_0^*$ is the adjoint operator of $\mathfrak{J}_0$. Then $\mathfrak{J}^*_0=\mathfrak{B}\mathfrak{C}$, where $\mathfrak{B}$ and $\mathfrak{C}$ are the operators induced by the Bergman projection and Cauchy transform, respectively. In this paper, we obtain the $L^1$, $L^2$ and $L^{\infty}$ norm of the operator $\mathfrak{J}_0^*$. Moreover, we obtain the $L^p(\mathbb{D})\rightarrow L^\infty(\mathbb{D})$ norm of the operators $\mathfrak{C}$ and $\mathfrak{J}_0^*$, provided that $p>2$. This study is a continuation of the investigations carried out in [4] and [11].

description: A formula for the corner charge in terms of the bulk quadrupole moment is derived for two-dimensional periodic systems. This is an analog of the formula for the surface charge density in terms of the bulk polarization. In the presence of an $n$-fold rotation symmetry with $n=3$, $4$, and $6$, the quadrupole moment is quantized and is independent of the spread or shape of Wannier orbitals, depending only on the location of Wannier centers of filled bands. In this case, our formula predicts the fractional part of the quadrupole moment purely from the bulk property. The system can contain many-body interactions as long as the ground state is gapped and topologically trivial in the sense it is smoothly connected to a product state limit. An extension of these results to three-dimensional systems is also discussed. In three dimensions, in general, even the fractional part of the corner charge is not fully predictable from the bulk perspective even in the presence of point group symmetry.

description: In magnetic configurations with two or three q=1 (with q being the safety factor) resonant surfaces in a tokamak plasma, resistive magnetohydrodynamic modes with poloidal mode numbers m much larger than 1 are found to be linearly unstable. It is found that these high-m double or triple tearing modes significantly enhance through nonlinear interactions, the growth of the m=1 mode. This may account for the sudden onset of the internal resistive kink, i.e., the fast sawtooth trigger. Based on the subsequent reconnection dynamics that can proceed without formation of the m=1 islands, it is proposed that high-m triple tearing modes are a possible mechanism for precursor-free partial collapses during sawtooth oscillations.

description: By using a second quantized formulation of level crossing, which does not assume adiabatic approximation, a convenient formula for geometric terms including off-diagonal terms is derived. The analysis of geometric phases is reduced to a simple diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in the present formulation. If one diagonalizes the geometric terms in the infinitesimal neighborhood of level crossing, the geometric phases become trivial for any finite time interval $T$. The topological interpretation of Berry's phase such as the topological proof of phase-change rule thus fails in the practical Born-Oppenheimer approximation, where a large but finite ratio of two time scales is involved.

description: Nearly 72 per cent of India’s population and 75 per cent of the country’s poor are in rural areas. A large chunk of the Indian population still depends on agriculture for its livelihood. The level of agricultural research investment has serious implications on agricultural productivity in India which, in turn, has a bearing on rural poverty. The present study attempts to analyse the inter-linkages amongst agricultural research investment, agricultural productivity and poverty at the national level. The results revealed that rural poverty was significantly and negatively influenced by the agricultural productivity at macro level. Agricultural research investment per ha and gross cropped area influenced the productivity of agricultural sector in the country positively and significantly. Therefore, the agricultural research investment in India, which accounts for less than one per cent of the GDP in agriculture, should be increased at least to one per cent if not to two per cent, as demanded by the R&D organisations in the country from time to time. Owing to positive relationship between gross cropped area and GDP in agriculture per ha, efforts should be directed towards increasing the cropping intensity mainly through crop diversification and creating irrigation infrastructure. Low agricultural productivity is the root cause of rural poverty. Hence, an effective poverty alleviation programme should aim at increasing agricultural productivity in the long run through transfer of productive assets instead of consumer goods to the farmers.

description: Urban agriculture (UA) is defined as the production of crop and livestock goods within city and town boundaries. According to some statistics, 200 million people are employed in UA, contributing to the food supply of 800 million urban dwellers [1]. In African countries, 40 per cent of urban dwellers are said to be engaged in some sort of agricultural activities and this percentage rises to 50 per cent in Latin American countries [2]. If such numbers are accurate UA may play a role in addressing urban food insecurity problems. This paper attempts to fill some of the key research gaps in this area using survey data for 15 developing or transition countries. The paper analyzes in a comparative perspective the importance of UA for the poor and food insecure households located in urban areas.
Modeling the formation of the $^{13}$C neutron source in AGB stars

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: A major source of uncertainty in AGB models is the partial-mixing process of hydrogen, required for the formation of the so-called $^{13}$C pocket. Among the attempts to derive a self-consistent treatment of this physical process, there are 2D and 3D simulations of magnetic buoyancy. The $^{13}$C pocket resulting from mixing induced by magnetic buoyancy extends over a region larger than those so far assumed, showing an almost flat $^{13}$C distribution and a negligible amount of $^{14}$N. Recently, it has been proved to be a good candidate to match the records of isotopic abundance ratios of $s$-elements in presolar SiC grains. However, up to date such a magnetic mixing has been applied in post-process calculations only, being never implemented in a stellar evolutionary code. Here we present new stellar models, performed with the 1-d hydrostatic FUNS evolutionary code, which include magnetic buoyancy. We comment the resulting $s$-process distributions and show preliminary comparisons to spectroscopic observations and pre-solar grains measurements.

description: We study correlation functions of the Calogero-Sutherland model in the whole range of the interaction parameter. Using the replica method we obtain analytical expressions for the long-distance asymptotics of the one-body density matrix in addition to the previously derived asymptotics of the pair-distribution function [D.M. Gangardt and A. Kamenev, Nucl. Phys. B, 610, 578 (2001)]. The leading analytic and non-analytic terms in the short-distance expansion of the one-body density matrix are discussed. Exact numerical results for these correlation functions are obtained using Monte Carlo techniques for all distances. The momentum distribution and static structure factor are calculated. The potential and kinetic energies are obtained using the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. Perfect agreement is found between the analytical expressions and numerical data. These results allow for the description of physical regimes of the Calogero-Sutherland model. The zero temperature phase diagram is found to be of a crossover type and includes quasi-condensation, quasi-crystallization and quasi-supersolid regimes.

Data on 41 wineries and 10 UACs of Greece was collected for a period of three years (2004-2006). Financial analysis results were used with the help of a fixed effect model-panel data technique- using profitability as dependent variable in order to measure the competitiveness of wineries. The results indicated that the size of the enterprise as well as the square of the capital intensity have a positive influence on the winery’s profit.

description: Multiphase estimation is a paradigmatic example of a multiparameter problem. When measuring multiple phases embedded in interferometric networks, specially-tailored input quantum states achieve enhanced sensitivities compared with both single-parameter and classical estimation schemes. Significant attention has been devoted to defining the optimal strategies for the scenario in which all of the phases are evaluated with respect to a common reference mode, in terms of optimal probe states and optimal measurement operators. As well, the strategies assume unlimited external resources, which is experimentally unrealistic. Here, we optimize a generalized scenario that treats all of the phases on an equal footing and takes into account the resources provided by external references. We show that the absence of an external reference mode reduces the number of simultaneously estimatable parameters, owing to the immeasurability of global phases, and that the symmetries of the parameters being estimated dictate the symmetries of the optimal probe states. Finally, we provide insight for constructing optimal measurements in this generalized scenario. The experimental viability of this work underlies its immediate practical importance beyond fundamental physics.

description: In May 2003, the United States, Canada and Argentina launched a World Trade Organization (WTO) case against the European Union concerning its authorization regime for biotech products. In November 2006, the WTO condemned this regime. Using a gravity equation, we estimate the reduction of exports from the complainants to the European Union for potentially affected products. Our results suggest that the European moratorium and product-specific measures have a negative effect on trade, as well as safeguard measures adopted by Germany, Italy and Greece.

description: Background: An electron localization function was originally introduced to visualize bond structures in molecules. It became a useful tool to describe electron configurations in atoms, molecules and solids. In nuclear physics, a nucleon localization function (NLF) has been used to characterize clusters in light nuclei, fragment formation in fission and pasta phases in the inner crust of neutron stars. Purpose: We use the NLF to study the nuclear response to fast rotation. Methods: We generalize the NLF to the case of nuclear rotation. The extended expressions involve both time-even and time-odd local densities. Since current density and density gradient contribute to the NLF primarily at the surface, we propose a simpler spatial measure given by the kinetic-energy density. Illustrative calculations for the superdeformed yrast band of $^{152}$Dy were carried out by using the cranked Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method. We also employed the cranked harmonic-oscillator model to gain insights into patterns revealed by the NLF at high angular momentum. Results: In a deformed rotating nucleus, several NLFs can be introduced, depending on the definition of the spin-quantization axis and self-consistent symmetries of the system. The oscillating pattern of the NLF can be explained by a constructive interference between the kinetic-energy and particle densities. The nodal pattern seen in the NLF along the major axis of a rotating nucleus comes from single-particle orbits with large aligned angular momentum. The variation of the NLF along the minor axis is traced back to deformation-aligned orbits. Conclusions: The NLF allows a simple interpretation of the shell structure evolution in the rotating nucleus in terms of the angular-momentum alignment of individual nucleons. We expect that the NLF will be useful for the characterization of other collective modes and time-dependent processes.

description: In spite of a Flemish planning policy that strived the last decennia at conserving the city (or urban areas) and countryside both as functionally and morphologically separable entities and as antipoles, it is observed that due to an unrestrained suburbanisation city and countryside become increasingly interwoven in Flanders. People still reproduce space in these two spatial categories but society and governments are no longer capable in producing this symbolic space in a physical and social way. It is clear that a top-down imposed, uniformising planning discourse is not able to get a grip on present urbanising processes and therefore alternative story-lines are needed. An alternative story line of ‘open space as public space’, points at the societal importance of public space and could be useful in understanding the challenges in present network society. In a context in which almost the entire Flemish space is ‘urban’, open-space-fragments seem to be able to fulfil a role as public space and have to become structuring spatial elements for further urbanisation. Three success factors in (designing) planning the open space seem to have the potential to be a lot more essential to the spatial visioning on open space fragments/rural areas than the current functional delineation of parts of the natural and agricultural structure. At the same time it is clear that multifunctional agriculture (MFA), meeting a broad spectrum of societal demands, is strongly related to the critical success factors for a good functioning of ‘public open space’, not on the reference scale of urban public space but on that of the collective open space at the regional level. A financing construction, which contains three possible alternative financing mechanisms for collective services, has a lot of potential in reinforcing the ‘public open space’. A proactive and offensive role of governments seems crucial in setting up this financing construction.

description:

La torre dei Grassi al portico d’Ottavia offre uno scorcio unico nel panorama urbano. La sua immagine, riprodotta in vedute e fotografie storiche, è identitaria del carattere dell’edilizia medievale sviluppatasi spontaneamente riutilizzando le strutture della Roma antica. Essa contestualmente rappresenta, pur trovandosi immediatamente all’esterno del recinto, un tassello residuo di quello che doveva essere l’ambiente caratteristico interno al Ghetto. Il recente intervento di restauro, che ha ospitato le attività didattiche del Laboratorio di Restauro C della Laurea triennale in Scienze dell’Architettura del Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Roma Tre, è stato anche l’occasione per approfondire la conoscenza del manufatto. L’osservazione diretta, facilitata dal contatto ravvicinato con l’organismo architettonico, e la possibilità di compiere saggi mirati hanno consentito di implementare gli studi pregressi, ridefinire la sequenza storico formativa e restituire alla torre e al contesto circostante la successione dei significati assunti nel tempo.

description: (abridged) Powerful radio galaxies often display enhanced optical/UV emission regions, elongated and aligned with the radio jet axis. The aim of this series of papers is to separately investigate the effects of radio power and redshift on the alignment effect, together with other radio galaxy properties. In this second paper, we present a deeper analysis of the morphological properties of these systems, including both the host galaxies and their surrounding aligned emission. The host galaxies of our 6C subsample are well described as de Vaucouleurs ellipticals, with typical scale sizes of ~10kpc. This is comparable to the host galaxies of low-z radio sources of similar powers, and also the more powerful 3CR sources at the same redshift. The contribution of nuclear point source emission is also comparable, regardless of radio power. The 6C alignment effect is remarkably similar to that seen around more powerful 3CR sources at the same redshift in terms of extent and degree of alignment with the radio source axis, although it is generally less luminous. The bright, knotty features observed in the case of the z~1 3CR sources are far less frequent in our 6C subsample; neither do we observe such strong evidence for evolution in the strength of the alignment effect with radio source size/age. However, we do find a very strong link between the most extreme alignment effects and emission line region properties indicative of shocks, regardless of source size/age or power. In general, the 6C alignment effect is still considerably stronger than that seen around lower redshift galaxies of similar radio powers. (abridged)

description: Traceability systems are information tools implemented within and between firms in food chains to improve logistics and transparency or to reduce total food safety damage costs. Information about location and condition of products is critical when food safety incidents arise. This paper uses a principal-agent model to investigate the optimal choice of voluntary traceability in terms of precision of information on a given attribute at each link of a food chain. The results suggest that four scenarios may emerge for the supply chain depending on the costs of a system and whether or not the industry can internalize total food safety damages : no traceability, traceability for one link, equal traceability for all links, or different positive traceability levels across all links.

description: Using data for 2002-2005 on a representative survey of French farms (FADN-RICA), we investigate the different factors that lead farmers to insure against crop risk. Our analysis takes into account a mix of both standard individual, financial and agricultural criteria. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses as well as logistic regressions underline the main differences between insured and non-insured farms. Compared to non-insured farms, we find that insured farms present greater financial and agricultural sizes, a more diversified production and have been motivated by the occurrence of recent catastrophic climatic events. Although essential in the cross-sectional analysis, the influence of financial parameters in the decision to insure is mitigated. On the other hand, the agricultural characteristics of the farms confirm their leading influence for the subscription of crop insurance policies.
The "Strange Metal" is a Projected Fermi Liquid with Edge Singularities

description: The puzzling "strange metal" phase of the high Tc cuprate phase diagram reveals itself as closer to a Fermi liquid than previously supposed: it is a consequence of Gutzwiller projection and does not necessarily require exotica such as an RVB or mysterious quantum critical points. There is a Fermi liquid-like excitation spectrum but the excitations are asymmetric between electrons and holes, show anomalous forward scattering and have Z equal to 0. We explain the power law dependence of conductivity on frequency and predict anomalies in the tunneling and photoemission spectra.

description: Recent animal feed crises caused substantial damage throughout food supply chains and, consequently, initiated debates on the liability insurance cover of animal feed companies. In this framework, a quantitative risk analysis for wet feed producers in the Netherlands is presented. The simulation model developed is parameterised by among others data from three Dutch wet feed companies reflecting about 45% of the wet feed market in the Netherlands. The model addresses direct damage up to farm level. Default outcomes per crisis show that the number of contaminated farms is expected to be 117, with a variation from 19 farms in the 5% percentile to 331 farms in the 95% percentile. Projected direct damage per crisis is on average Euro 0.9 million, ranging from Euro 0.09 million (5%) to Euro 2.8 million (95%). The expected number of 117 farms consists of 15 sow farms, 31 hog farms, 49 dairy farms and 22 beef farms. Sensitivity analyses illustrate that the size of farms supplied with wet feed and the number of days in which contaminated wet feed is delivered are key variables in determining the eventual size of damage. Outcomes show the expected situation for the entire wet feed sector in the Netherlands— under the assumption that all wet feed companies have about the same risk profile as the sample companies whose data have been used to parameterise variables such as mixing rates and number of farms supplied each day. As the sample companies cover 45% of the total volume of wet feed in the Netherlands, their “share” in total damage is expected to be about the same, i.e. 45%. Similar conclusions hold for other wet feed companies whose risk profile is comparable to that of the sample companies. Outcomes are used in supply chain and insurance discussions on reviewing liability insurance covers of animal feed producers.
Special case of the Bañados-Silk-West effect

description: If two particles collide near the rotating extremal black hole and one of them is fine-tuned, the energy in the center of mass frame $E_{c.m.}$ can grow unbounded. This is the so-called Bañados-Silk-West (BSW) effect. Recently, another type of high energy collisions was considered in which all processes happen in the Schwarzschild background with free falling particles. If the Killing energy $E$ of one of particle is sufficiently small, $E_{c.m.}$ grows unbounded. We show that, however, such a particle cannot be created in any precedent collision with finite energies, angular momenta and masses. Therefore, in contrast to the standard BSW effect, this one cannot be realized if initial particles fall from infinity. If the black hole is electrically charged, such a type of collisions is indeed possible, when a particle with very small $E$ collides with one more particle coming from infinity. Thus the BSW effect is achieved due to collisions of neutral particles in the background of a charged black hole. This requires, however, at least two-step process.
