description: A visual map display of the complete 1999 growing season will be created for internal use on NASS’s Intranet using GIS to display crop development and condition as supplementary information to the standard NASS collected survey data. The crop information comes mainly from expert opinion of USDA agricultural extension agents across the country. They submit weekly reports to NASS on crop development and condition which is summarized at the state level and published for external use in the “Crop Progress Report” and in the “Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin.” Using this information for a selected group of states at the county level with the purpose to expand the Agency GIS capabilities for internal analysis, crop progress of the specific stages of crop development for corn and soybeans, along with vegetative index maps, farmer reported yield data at the county level, weekly growing degree data, and NASS county estimate data provides a good visual overview of a growing season.

description: We study the overlap and the fixed point Dirac operators for massive fermions in the two-flavor lattice Schwinger model. The masses of the triplet (pion) and singlet (eta) bound states are determined down to small fermion masses and the mass dependence is compared with various continuum model approximations. Near the chiral limit, at very small fermion masses the fixed point operator has stability problems, which in this study are dominated by finite size effects,

description: World's energy consumption has doubled in the last four decades, this demand has been covered by the usage of fossil fuels; which are an important source of greenhouse gases emissions, entailing climate change. An efficient less polluting management alternative is the anaerobic digestion (AD) process which generates biogas derived from organic matter. The methane contained at the biogas is considered a biofuel that can generate electricity and heat through its combustion. Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) essays are standardized methodologies carried out to estimate the energy potential of an organic residue. After performing a BMP test for 13 residual biomass samples, it can be concluded that fresh livestock rumen and manure were the best substrates to generate higher biogas yields; ranging from 1119–1669 ml/g VSadded, with high methane content (65%4<77%) doubling the results reported at literature (≈550 ml biogas/g VSadded). Results indicate that energy potential of these residual biomasses can be increased 23–25% by improving management (freshness) and environmental (higher temperature) conditions and, by reducing the nutrimental deficiencies (mineral medium) of microorganisms. Fresh swine manure also produced large volumes of biogas (1150 ml biogas/g VSadded); however, average methane content ranged 50–65% CH4 v/v. The rest of the residual biomasses produced biogas and methane yields within the normal ranges (≈550 ml biogas/g VSadded); meaning that also can be used as substrate for bioenergy generation. Residues from aquaculture and fish based-industry produced low quantities of biogas (<250 ml biogas/g VSadded; CH4

description: The metal line profiles of different ions observed in high HI column density systems [N(HI) > 10^{16} cm^{-2}] in quasar spectra can be used to constrain the ionization structure and kinematic characteristics of the absorbers. For these purposes, a modified Monte Carlo Inversion (MCI) procedure was applied to the study of three absorption systems in the spectrum of the HDF-South quasar J2233-606 obtained with the UVES spectrograph at the VLT/Kueyen telescope. The MCI does not confirm variations of metal abundances within separate systems which were discussed in the literature. Instead, we found that an assumption of a homogeneous metal content and a unique photoionizing background is sufficient to describe the observed complex metal profiles. It was also found that the linear size L and the line-of-sight velocity dispersion sigma_v measured within the absorbers obey a scaling relation, namely, sigma_v increases with increasing L, and that metal abundance is inversely proportional to the linear size of the system: the highest metallicity was measured in the system with the smallest L.

description: We present results of a numerical calculation of lattice QCD with two degenerate flavors of dynamical quarks, identified with up and down quarks, and with a strange quark treated in the quenched approximation. The lattice action and simulation parameters are chosen with a view to carrying out an extrapolation to the continuum limit as well as chiral extrapolations. Gauge configurations are generated with a renormalization-group improved gauge action and a mean field improved clover quark action at three values of $β$ and four sea quark masses. The sizes of lattice are chosen so that the physical spatial size is kept constant. Hadron masses, light quark masses and meson decay constants are measured at five valence quark masses. We also carry out complementary quenched simulations with the same improved actions. The quenched spectrum from this analysis agrees well in the continuum limit with the one of our earlier work using the standard action. We find the two-flavor full QCD meson masses in the continuum limit to be much closer to experimental meson masses than those from quenched QCD. We take these results as manifestations of sea quark effects in two-flavor full QCD. For baryon masses full QCD values for strange baryons are in agreement with experiment, while they differ increasingly with decreasing strange quark content, resulting in a nucleon mass higher than experiment. The pattern suggests finite size effects as a possible origin for this deviation. For light quark masses in the continuum limit we obtain values which are reduced by about 25% compared to the values in quenched QCD. We also present results for decay constants where large scaling violations obstruct a continuum extrapolation. Need for a non-perturbative estimate of renormalization factors is discussed.

 REMARKS: Although Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 270) gave the method of type fixation for Schineria in Rondani (1857: 12) as by monotypy (it is by original designation), they listed the type species as dating from Rondani (1859b: 46). This is incorrect. The characters in Rondani (1857: 12) that make the genus-group name available serve to also make available Schineria tergestina as the singly included species. O’Hara et al. (2009: 173) correctly interpreted the type species as Schineria tergestina Rondani, 1857.

description: We study novel solitonic solutions to Einstein-Klein-Gordon theory in the presence of a periodic scalar potential arising in models of axion-like particles. The potential depends on two parameters: the mass of the scalar field $m_a$ and the decay constant $f_a$; the standard case of the QCD axion is recovered when $m_a\propto1/f_a$. When $f_a\to\infty$ the solutions reduce to the standard case of "mini" boson stars supported by a massive free scalar field. As the energy scale $f_a$ of the scalar self-interactions decreases we unveil several novel features of the solution: new stability branches emerge at high density, giving rise to very compact, radially stable, boson stars. Some of the most compact configurations acquire a photon sphere. When $f_a$ is at the GUT scale, a boson star made of QCD axions can have a mass up to ten solar masses and would be more compact than a neutron star. Gravitational-wave searches for these exotic compact objects might provide indirect evidence for ultralight axion-like particles in a region not excluded by the black-hole superradiant instability.

Domain Walls in the $A_4$ Flavored NMSSM

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In this work, we study the phenomenology of neutrinos and the formation of cosmic domain walls in the NMSSM extended by an $A_4 \times Z_3$ flavor symmetry. Neutrino masses result from the type I seesaw mechanism using only two flavon fields and the NMSSM singlet $\mathcal{S}$ while their mixing is of Trimaximal mixing form. We perform our phenomenological study in the normal mass hierarchy where we find that observables like $m_{ββ}$, $m_β$, and $\sum_i m_i$ can be tested by future experiments. Due to the difference between the $A_4$ subgroups that undergo spontaneous breaking in both the charged lepton and neutrino sectors, the resulting domain walls in each sector exhibit distinct structures. We delve into the details of the breaking patterns within these two sectors, and we introduce a nuanced geometric representation for them. To tackle the domain wall problem, we explore a well-established method involving the explicit breaking of the flavor symmetry. This is achieved through the introduction of Planck-suppressed operators induced by supergravity.

description: In this paper, we classify all polynomial vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of degree up to three such that their flow makes the torus $$\mathbb{T}^2=\{(x,y,z)\in \mathbb{R}^3:(x^2+y^2-a^2)^2+z^2-1=0\}~\mbox{with}~a\in (1,\infty)$$ invariant. We also classify cubic Kolmogorov vector fields on $\mathbb{T}^2$ and prove that they exhibit a rational first integral. We study `pseudo-type-$n$' vector fields on $\mathbb{T}^2$ and show that any such vector field is completely integrable. We prove that the Lie bracket of any two quadratic vector fields on $\mathbb{T}^2$ is completely integrable. We explicitly find all cubic vector fields on $\mathbb{T}^2$ which achieve the sharp bounds for the number of invariant meridians and parallels. We present necessary and sufficient conditions when invariant meridians and parallels of cubic vector fields on $\mathbb{T}^2$ are periodic orbits or limit cycles. We discuss invariant meridians and parallels of pseudo-type-$n$ vector fields as well. Moreover, we characterize the singular points of a class of polynomial vector fields on $\mathbb{T}^2$.

description: In this project, silica gel chemically bonded with derivatives of aminoanthraquinone were synthesized and characterized. Adsorbents 1,8-aminoanthraquinone-3-aminopropylsilica (SL1), 2-aminoanthraquinone-3-aminopropylsilica (SL2) and 1-aminoanthraquinone-3-aminopropylsilica (SL3) were produced and tested to adsorb heavy metal solutions including Pb(II) Cu(II) Zn(II) Cd(II) and Co(II). The concentrations of the adsorbed heavy metals solution were calculated by atomic adsorption spectrophotometry employing a batch method. The results showed that speed at 200 rpm for 30 min with pH 9 is the optimum condition for heavy metal adsorption. The result also indicated that adsorbent SL3 is the best adsorbent for Pb(II) at 82.5%, and the relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) was lower than 6%. The method detection limit was 1.1 µg L−1 for Pb2+. In addition, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation results suggested that the adsorbent sensor formed stable complexes with Pb(II) through a large number of cation-dipole interactions. The method was also applied with satisfactory results to the pre-concentration of trace Pb(II) in environmental samples.
Generalized Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics and Reflectionless Fermion Bags in 1+1 Dimensions

description: We study static fermion bags in the 1+1 dimensional Gross-Neveu and Nambu-Jona-Lasinio models. It has been known, from the work of Dashen, Hasslacher and Neveu (DHN), followed by Shei's work, in the 1970's, that the self-consistent static fermion bags in these models are reflectionless. The works of DHN and of Shei were based on inverse scattering theory. Several years ago, we offered an alternative argument to establish the reflectionless nature of these fermion bags, which was based on analysis of the spatial asymptotic behavior of the resolvent of the Dirac operator in the background of a static bag, subjected to the appropriate boundary conditions. We also calculated the masses of fermion bags based on the resolvent and the Gelfand-Dikii identity. Based on arguments taken from a certain generalized one dimensional supersymmetric quantum mechanics, which underlies the spectral theory of these Dirac operators, we now realize that our analysis of the asymptotic behavior of the resolvent was incomplete. We offer here a critique of our asymptotic argument.

Towards the Hadron-Quark Continuity Via a Topology Change in Compact Stars

description: We construct a generalized EFT approach to dense compact-star matter that exploits the CCP for hadron-quark continuity at high density, hidden topology and hidden symmetries of QCD. No Landau-Ginzburg-Wilsonian-type phase transition is involved. The microscopic DoF of QCD possibly intervening at high baryonic density are traded in for fractionalized topological objects. Essential in the description are symmetries invisible in QCD in the matter-free vacuum: Scale symmetry, flavor local symmetry and parity-doubling. The partial emergence of scale symmetry is signaled by a dilatonic scalar in a "pseudo-conformal" structure. Flavor gauge symmetry manifests with the $ρ$ meson mass going toward a Wilsonian RGFP identified with the VMFP at which the gauge boson mass goes to zero. Parity doubling is to take place as the quasi-nucleon mass converges to the chiral invariant $m_0$. The theory accounts satisfactorily for all known properties of normal nuclear matter and makes certain predictions that are drastically different from what's available in the literature. In particular, it provides a topological mechanism, argued to be robust, for the cross-over from soft-to-hard EoS that predicts the star properties in overall agreement with the presently available data, including the maximum star mass $M_{max}\sim 2.3 M_\odot$ and the recent LIGO/Virgo GW data. What is most glaringly different from all other approaches known, however, is the prediction for the rapid convergence to a sound velocity of star $v_s^2\approx 1/3$ at a density $n\gsim 3 n_0$, far from the asymptotic density $\gsim 50n_0$ expected in pQCD. We interpret this to signal the onset of albeit approximate conformal symmetry in dense compact-star matter. The model developed here could bring out a new paradigm in nuclear/hadron physics, exploiting ideas in condensed matter physics, nuclear and particle physics and astrophysics.

description: Funding programs to improve water quality into the GBR are difficult to evaluate, and administering agencies typically need to allocate funds without a clear assessment of the cost-effectiveness of proposals. This is particularly the case for agri-environmental schemes where policy makers set targets for improvements in water quality from agricultural lands and then need to identify funds and programs to encourage changes in practices. The priorities for actions are often driven by bio-physical assessments of risks on the natural environment with little information about the opportunity costs and challenges in changing land management. The goal of the research reported in this paper is to develop a supply function for water quality improvements in agricultural lands in the Great Barrier Reef catchments. Costs of supply have been estimated from multiple sources, including modelling, expert opinion, and the analysis of water quality tenders and Reef Rescue grant programs. The study addresses challenges in reconciling cost estimates from different sources, dealing with heterogeneity across industries and catchments, and managing different influences on costs from factors such as risks, adoption issues and transaction costs.

description: In this study, plastic optical fibre (POF) was considered as a light-transmitting medium and substrate for use in a photocatalytic environmental purification system, using Ag2MoO4 and β-Ag2MoO4/Ag3PO4 as photocatalysts. Pure Ag2MoO4 and a β-Ag2MoO4/Ag3PO4 composite were synthesized using a facile precipitation method. The composition, structures and optical properties of as-prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV/Vis DRS), BET surface area and TGA/DTG. The catalysts were immobilized on POF and on the glass reactor surface and their efficiency in the phenol degradation was evaluated in a batch reactor under visible light. The use of POF offers advantages such as ease of handling and good adherence characteristics to support Ag2MoO4. The photoactivity follows the order β-Ag2MoO4/Ag3PO4 ≅ Ag2MoO4 > TiO2 P25, for photocatalysts immobilized on the glass reactor surface or in aqueous suspension. The immobilization of Ag2MoO4 on POF revealed that thinner Ag2MoO4 coatings achieved faster pollutant removal rates from solution, and the optimal catalyst deposition is 0.64 mg/cm2, causing maximum the light penetration and electron–hole generation close to the solid–liquid interface.

description: In quantum teleportation, neither Alice nor Bob acquires any classical knowledge on teleported states. The teleportation protocol is said to be oblivious to both parties. In remote state preparation (RSP) it is assumed that Alice is given complete classical knowledge on the state that is to be prepared by Bob. Recently, Leung and Shor showed that the same amount of classical information as that in teleportation needs to be transmitted in any exact and deterministic RSP protocol that is oblivious to Bob. We study similar RSP protocols, but not necessarily oblivious to Bob. First it is shown that Bob's quantum operation can be safely assumed to be a unitary transformation. We then derive an equation that is a necessary and sufficient condition for such a protocol to exist. By studying this equation, we show that one qubit RSP requires 2 cbits of classical communication, which is the same amount as in teleportation, even if the protocol is not assumed oblivious to Bob. For higher dimensions, it is still open whether the amount of classical communication can be reduced by abandoning oblivious conditions.

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate imperfect price reversibility and measure price sensitivity incorporated with the effect of trade promotions for refrigerated 100% OJ. Using a price decomposition method with distributed lags, we test imperfect irreversibility and asymmetric price responses. Empirical models consisted of prices coupled with promotions and prices decoupled from promotions to determine the effect of trade promotions on retail prices. The results showed that the demand for OJ was imperfectly price reversible when we used prices coupled with promotion, and asymmetric price responses were found in NFC OJ demand. Prices coupled with promotions were more elastic than prices decoupled from promotions. The demand for OJ was influenced by both current and previous information. Dynamic adjustments toward price and promotions may result in irreversibility. Competitions with price reduction increase sales in the short run, but frequent promotions may lead to lower reference prices that eventually weaken consumer willingness to purchase at regular prices without promotions.

description: In conventional site percolation, all lattice sites are occupied with the same probability. For a bipartite lattice, sublattice-selective percolation instead involves two independent occupation probabilities, depending on the sublattice to which a given site belongs. Here, we determine the corresponding phase diagram for the two-dimensional square and Lieb lattices from quantifying the parameter regime where a percolating cluster persists for sublattice-selective percolation. For this purpose, we present an adapted Newman-Ziff algorithm. We also consider the critical exponents at the percolation transition, confirming previous Monte Carlo and renormalization-group findings that suggest sublattice-selective percolation to belong to the same universality class as conventional site percolation. To further strengthen this conclusion, we finally treat sublattice-selective percolation on the Bethe lattice (infinite Cayley tree) by an exact solution.

description: Despite centuries of attention, human sexuality remains inadequately understood, with historical shifts and societal influences shaping its perception. Archaeological evidence suggests that pre-agricultural societies viewed sexuality as fluid, but its constraints emerged with the advent of farming. Over time, human sexuality and sexual orientation became tools of social control. In the 18th century, classical demographers, including Malthusians and neo-Malthusians, acknowledged the significance of human sexuality in explaining population dynamics and development. However, their focus on fertility, mortality, migration, and marriage led to the neglect of other critical aspects of human sexuality. This paper seeks to explore the historical trajectory of human sexuality perception, shedding light on how societal forces have shaped its understanding and representation over time

description: Observations with modern instruments such as Herschel reveal that stars form clustered inside filamentary arms of ~1 pc length embedded in Giant Molecular Clouds. On smaller scales (~1000 au), observations of, e.g., IRAS 16293--2422 show signs of filamentary `bridge' structures connecting young protostars in their birth environment. We investigate the formation of a deeply embedded triple protostellar system, and characterize its connection to the filamentary structure present on GMC scales. Using the magnetohydrodynamical code RAMSES, we carry out zoom-in simulations of low-mass star formation starting from Giant-Molecular-Cloud-scales. Colliding flows of gas in the filamentary arms induce the formation of two protostellar companions at distances of ~1000 au from the primary. After their birth, the stellar companions quickly (~10 kyr) approach and orbit the primary on eccentric orbits with separations of ~100 au. The colliding flows induce transient structures lasting for up to a few 10 kyr connecting two forming protostellar objects that are kinematically quiescent along the line-of-sight. Colliding flows compress the gas and trigger the formation of stellar companions via turbulent fragmentation. Our results suggest that protostellar companions form with a wide separation of ~1000 au. Smaller separations (~100 au or less) are a consequence of subsequent migration and capturing. Associated with the formation phase of the companion, the turbulent environment induces arc- and bridge-like structures. These bridges can become kinematically quiescent, when the velocity components of the colliding flows eliminate each other. However, the gas in bridges still contributes to stellar accretion later. Our results demonstrate: bridge-like structures are a transient phenomenon of stellar multiple formation.

description: Text generation is of particular interest in many NLP applications such as machine translation, language modeling, and text summarization. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) achieved a remarkable success in high quality image generation in computer vision,and recently, GANs have gained lots of interest from the NLP community as well. However, achieving similar success in NLP would be more challenging due to the discrete nature of text. In this work, we introduce a method using knowledge distillation to effectively exploit GAN setup for text generation. We demonstrate how autoencoders (AEs) can be used for providing a continuous representation of sentences, which is a smooth representation that assign non-zero probabilities to more than one word. We distill this representation to train the generator to synthesize similar smooth representations. We perform a number of experiments to validate our idea using different datasets and show that our proposed approach yields better performance in terms of the BLEU score and Jensen-Shannon distance (JSD) measure compared to traditional GAN-based text generation approaches without pre-training.

The relative branching fraction, with respect to the $Λ_\text{b}^0$ $\to$ $ψ$(2S)$Λ$ decay, is measured to be $\mathcal{B}$($Λ_\text{b}^0$ $\to$ J/$ψΞ^-$K$^+$) / $\mathcal{B}$( $Λ_\text{b}^0$ $\to$ $ψ$(2S)$Λ$) = [3.38 $\pm$ 1.02 $\pm$ 0.61 $\pm$ 0.03]%, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is related to the uncertainties in $\mathcal{B}$($ψ$(2S) $\to$ J/$ψπ^+π^-$) and $\mathcal{B}$($Ξ^-$ $\to$ $Λπ^-$).

description: World´s energy consumption has doubled in the last four decades, this demand has been covered by usage of fossil fuels; which are an important source of greenhouse gases emissions, entailing climate change. An efficient less polluting management alternative is the anaerobic digestion (AD) process which generates biogas derived from organic matter. The methane contained at the biogas is considered a biofuel that can generate electricity and heat through its combustion. Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) essays are standardized methodologies carried out to estimate the energy potential of an organic residue. After performing a BMP test for 13 residual biomass samples, it can be concluded that fresh livestock rumen and manure were the best substrates to generate higher biogas yields; ranging from 1119–1669 ml/g VSadded, with high methane content (65%4<77%) doubling the results reported at literature (≈550 ml biogas/g VSadded). Results indicate that energy potential of these residual biomasses can be increased 23–25% by improving management (freshness) and environmental (higher temperature) conditions and, by reducing the nutrimental deficiencies (mineral medium) of microorganisms. Fresh swine manure also produced large volumes of biogas (1150 ml biogas/g VSadded); however, average methane content ranged 50–65% CH4 v/v. The rest of the residual biomasses produced biogas and methane yields within the normal ranges (≈550 ml biogas/g VSadded); meaning that also can be used as substrate for bioenergy generation. Residues from aquaculture and fish based-industry produced low quantities of biogas (<250 ml biogas/g VSadded; CH4
