description: An oriented hypergraph is an oriented incidence structure that allows for the generalization of graph theoretic concepts to integer matrices through its locally signed graphic substructure. The locally graphic behaviors are formalized in the subobject classifier of incidence hypergraphs. Moreover, the injective envelope is calculated and shown to contain the class of uniform hypergraphs -- providing a combinatorial framework for the entries of incidence matrices. A multivariable all-minors characteristic polynomial is obtained for both the determinant and permanent of the oriented hypergraphic Laplacian and adjacency matrices arising from any integer incidence matrix. The coefficients of each polynomial are shown to be submonic maps from the same family into the injective envelope limited by the subobject classifier. These results provide a unifying theorem for oriented hypergraphic matrix-tree-type and Sachs-coefficient-type theorems. Finally, by specializing to bidirected graphs, the trivial subclasses for the degree-$k$ monomials of the Laplacian are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with $k$-arborescences.

description: We study a magnetic proximity effect at superconductor (S) - ferromagnet (F) interface. It is shown that due to an exchange of electrons between the F and S metals ferromagnetic correlations extend into the superconductor, being dependent on interface parameters. We show that ferromagnetic exchange field pair breaking effect leads to a formation of subgap bands in the S layer local density of states, that accommodate only one spin-polarized quasiparticles. Equilibrium magnetization leakage into the S layer as function of SF interface quality and a value of ferromagnetic interaction have also been calculated. We show that a damped-oscillatory behavior versus distance from SF interface is a distinguished feature of the exchange-induced magnetization of the S layer.

description: Manipulation of a quantum system requires the knowledge of how it evolves. To impose that the dynamics of a system becomes a particular target operation (for any preparation of the system), it may be more useful to have an equation of motion for the dynamics itself--rather than the state. Here we develop a Markovian master equation for the process matrix of an open system, which resembles the Lindblad Markovian master equation. We employ this equation to introduce a scheme for optimal local coherent process control at target times, and extend the Krotov technique to obtain optimal control. We illustrate utility of this framework through several quantum coherent control scenarios, such as optimal decoherence suppression, gate simulation, and passive control of the environment, in all of which we aim to simulate a given terminal process at a given final time.

description: Analysis of the radio tracking data from the Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft has consistently indicated the presence of an anomalous small Doppler frequency drift. The drift can be interpreted as being due to a constant acceleration of a_P= (8.74 +/- 1.33) x 10^{-8} cm/s^2 directed towards the Sun. Although it is suspected that there is a systematic origin to the effect, none has been found. The nature of this anomaly has become of growing interest in the fields of relativistic cosmology, astro- and gravitational physics as well as in the areas of spacecraft design and high-precision navigation. We present a concept for a designated deep-space mission to test the discovered anomaly. A number of critical requirements and design considerations for such a mission are outlined and addressed.

description: The problem of decomposition of unitary irreps of (super) tensorial (i.e. extended with tensorial charges) Poincar{é} algebra w.r.t. its different subalgebras is considered. This requires calculation of little groups for different configurations of tensor charges. Particularly, for preon states (i.e. states with maximal supersymmetry) in different dimensions the particle content is calculated, i.e. the spectrum of usual Poincar{é} representations in the preon representation of tensorial Poincar{é}. At d=4 results coincide with (and may provide another point of view on) the Vasiliev's results in field theories in generalized space-time. The translational subgroup of little groups of massless particles and branes is shown to be (and coincide with, at d=4) a subgroup of little groups of "pure branes" algebras, i.e. tensorial Poincar{é} algebras without vector generators. At 11d it is shown that, contrary to lower dimensions, spinors are not homogeneous space of Lorentz group, and one have to distinguish at least 7 different kinds of preons.

description: The neutron capture cross section of the unstable nucleus 185W has been derived from experimental photoactivation data of the inverse reaction 186W(gamma,n)185W. The new result of sigma = (687 +- 110) mbarn confirms the theoretically predicted neutron capture cross section of 185W of sigma = 700 mbarn at kT = 30 keV. A neutron density in the classical s-process of n_n = (3.8 +0.9 -0.8} * 1e8 cm-3 is derived from the new data for the 185W branching. In a stellar s-process model one finds a significant overproduction of the residual s-only nucleus 186Os.

description: Most evaluations of the impact of cost sharing policies designed to reduce non-point source pollution on water quality fail to incorporate behavioral responses, which are important because of the voluntary nature of these programs. In this article, a two-stage simultaneous equation approach is applied to data from a farmer survey to correct for voluntary self-selection into cost sharing programs, and account for substitution effects among conservation practices. The estimates obtained from the econometric model are linked with the Chesapeake Bay Program watershed model to estimate the change in abatement levels and marginal abatement costs for nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment after considering non-additional adoption due to nonrandom enrollment, as well as potential indirect effects on other conservation practices. We find that policy scenarios which do not account for non-additional adoption significantly overestimate the abatement achieved by environmental incentive payments. Accounting for nonrandom enrollment increases the average marginal cost of abatement by between 37 and 85 percent across the state of Maryland. However, estimated indirect effects of cost sharing suggest the presence of “crowding in” of other practices, leading to greater abatement and lower costs, particularly for phosphorus and sediment.

description: Following quenches of initial configurations having long range spatial correlations, prepared at the demixing critical point, to points inside the miscibility gap, we study aging phenomena in solid binary mixtures. Results on the decay of the two-time order-parameter autocorrelation functions, obtained from Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional Ising model, with Kawasaki exchange kinetics, are analyzed via state-of-the art methods. The outcome is compared with that obtained for the ordering in uniaxial ferromagnets. For the latter, we have performed Monte Carlo simulations of the same model using the Glauber mechanism. For both types of systems we provide comparative discussion of our results with reference to those concerning quenches with configurations having no spatial correlation. We also discuss the role of structure on the decay of these correlations.

 stakeholders. The approach used throughout UNTANGLED is highly interactive and depends heavily on
 active stakeholder engagement (WP8). This occurs through stakeholders’ participation in workshops,
 interviews and other types of consultations (face-to-face or online).
 With the support of the WP8 leader (ZSI), researchers involved in UNTANGLED gathered contacts who
 make up a community of stakeholders. The fields the stakeholders were recruited from were those of
 technological transformation, globalisation, work and employment, education and training, development
 and deployment of digital technologies, regional development etc.

description: Discussions on a form of a frequency spectrum of wind-driven sea waves just above the spectral maximum have continued for the last three decades. In 1958 Phillips made a conjecture that wave breaking is the main mechanism responsible for the spectrum formation (Phillips, 1958). That leads to the spectrum decay $\sim ω^{-5}$, where $ω$ is the frequency of waves. There is a contradiction between the numerous experimental data and this spectrum. Experiments frequently show decay $\simω^{-4}$ (Toba, 1973),(Donelan et al, 1985), and (Hwang et al, 1999). There are several ways of the explanation of this phenomenon. One of them (proposed by Banner (Banner, 1990)) takes into account the Doppler effect due to surface circular currents generated by underlying waves in the Phillips model. In this article the influence of the Doppler effect on an arbitrary averaged spectrum is considered using both analytic and numerical approaches. Although we mostly concentrated on the very important case of Phillips model the developed technique and general formula can be used for the analysis of other spectra. For the particular case of Phillips spectra we got analytic asymptotics in the vicinity of spectral maximum and for high frequencies. Results were obtained for two most important angular dependences of the spectra: isotropic and strongly anisotropic. Together with the analytic investigation we performed numerical calculations in a wide range of frequencies. Both high and low frequency asymptotics are in very good agreement with the numerical results. It was shown that at least at low frequencies correction to the spectrum due to the Doppler shift is negligible. At high frequencies there is an asymptotic with tail $\sim ω^{-3}$.

 Diagnosis. Carapace cordiform, elongate, with transverse striae; posterolateral margin entire, not excavated; rostrum spiniform, flanked by mesial and usually also lateral supraocular spines; lateral supraocular spine well developed (Eumunida), minute or obsolete (Pseudomunida). Cervical groove distinct. Basal article of ocular peduncle obscured in dorsal view by rostral and supraocular spines. Anterolateral margin of abdominal somite 2 with prominent anterolaterally directed spine. Sternite 3 anterior margin transversely sinuous or irregular, not strongly produced anteriorly.

Mandibular cutting edge calcified, tridentate, with tooth at either end and single median tooth. Maxilliped 1 with well-developed epipod; exopod flagellum annulated in distal portion. Maxilliped 3 to pereopod 4 each with 2 arthrobranchs (vestigial on maxilliped 3). Pereopod 5 with 1 arthrobranch only. Pereopods 2–4 with pleurobranch. Male pleopod 1 absent.

 Remarks. The Eumunidiens group of A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1894, was used in the vernacular sense and as such is an informal name and not available under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (see Ng et al. 2008 for discussion of vernacular names as used by A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier). However, A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier (1900), regarding Eumunida as belonging to a Tribe within the Diptycinae, used the Latinized form, Eumunidae, and thus validated the name. Eumunidae has not since been used. In now recognising a separate family, Eumunididae, for Eumunida and Pseudomunida, we attribute authorship to A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier (1900).

description: In his seminal 1971 article, Sandmo showed that when faced with an uncertain output price, a risk-averse firm manager would hedge by producing less than he would have when faced with a certain output price. We take Sandmo’s prediction, among other things, to the lab. We study in turn the effects of price risk (i.e., uncertain prices whose distribution is known) and price ambiguity (i.e., uncertain prices whose distribution is not known, but whose range is known) while controlling for our subjects’ income risk preferences. Our experimental protocol closely mimics Sandmo’s theoretical model. For price risk, we use a two-stage randomization strategy aimed first at studying the effect of price uncertainty relative to price certainty, and then the effect of increases in price uncertainty conditional on there being price uncertainty. For price ambiguity, we use the same randomization strategy to study the effect of price ambiguity relative to price certainty while preventing our subjects from guessing the shape of the price distribution. For price risk, we find that, in stark contradiction to Sandmo’s theoretical result, the presence of price uncertainty causes subjects to produce more than they do under price certainty, but that increases in price uncertainty makes them decrease their production monotonically. For price ambiguity, results are mixed and depend on whether the portion of the experiment aimed at eliciting our subjects’ income risk aversion is played before or after the price uncertainty game. Lastly, we use our price risk data to study the problem structurally, in order to get at preference heterogeneity, and find that our structural results are consistent with our reduced-form results.

description: The standard one-parameter scaling theory predicts that all eigenstates in two-dimensional random lattices are weakly localized. We show that this claim fails in two-dimensional dipolar Frenkel exciton systems. The linear energy dispersion at the top of the exciton band, originating from the long-range inter-site coupling of dipolar nature, yields the same size-scaling law for the level spacing and the effective disorder seen by the exciton. This finally results in the delocalization of those eigenstates in the thermodynamic limit. Large scale numerical simulations allow us to perform a detailed multifractal analysis and to elucidate the nature of the excitonic eigenstates.

description: A salient approach to interpretable machine learning is to restrict modeling to simple models. In the Bayesian framework, this can be pursued by restricting the model structure and prior to favor interpretable models. Fundamentally, however, interpretability is about users' preferences, not the data generation mechanism; it is more natural to formulate interpretability as a utility function. In this work, we propose an interpretability utility, which explicates the trade-off between explanation fidelity and interpretability in the Bayesian framework. The method consists of two steps. First, a reference model, possibly a black-box Bayesian predictive model which does not compromise accuracy, is fitted to the training data. Second, a proxy model from an interpretable model family that best mimics the predictive behaviour of the reference model is found by optimizing the interpretability utility function. The approach is model agnostic -- neither the interpretable model nor the reference model are restricted to a certain class of models -- and the optimization problem can be solved using standard tools. Through experiments on real-word data sets, using decision trees as interpretable models and Bayesian additive regression models as reference models, we show that for the same level of interpretability, our approach generates more accurate models than the alternative of restricting the prior. We also propose a systematic way to measure stability of interpretabile models constructed by different interpretability approaches and show that our proposed approach generates more stable models.

description: Generalizing previous work we propose how to superpose spinning black holes in a Kerr-Schild initial slice. This superposition satisfies several physically meaningful limits, including the close and the far ones. Further we consider the close limit of two black holes with opposite angular momenta and explicitly solve the constraint equations in this case. Evolving the resulting initial data with a linear code, we compute the radiated energy as a function of the masses and the angular momenta of the black holes.

title: Creative Realisation in Collaborative Composition: Exploring Hulusi Embellishing Techniques in 21st Century Flute Repertoire
Creators: name: Lin, Lin
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2020

description: This practice-based research draws on the techniques of embellishment that are found in the hulusi flute playing of the Dai ethnic minority in China and applies them in the context of four new compositions for the Western flute, which have been commissioned for the project. The outputs take the form of a published CD recording, a score album and this thesis, which inform and illuminate one another, as well as a final performance. Through adapting distinctive hulusi embellishing techniques for the Western flute, the cross-cultural performance research develops a creative realisation process in which both the performer’s and the composer’s creativity and aesthetic ideas contribute to the creation of new works. The creative realisation process can therefore be understood as a form of collaborative composition in which the performer has formative and material input into the compositional process. The thesis consists of three parts. Part I introduces the Dai style of hulusi flute playing and the embellishments that are used in traditional folk melodies. The analysis of hulusi flute embellishments is based on detailed study of recordings and field research in Lianghe in China. This part concludes by outlining how these traditional techniques of embellishment have been applied to the Western flute as part of the performance research. Part II focuses on the collaborations I carried out with four UK-based composer Alex McGery, Martin Gaughan, Basil Athanasiadis and Sandy Clark. It addresses how each composition is influenced by materials relating to Dai culture and evaluates the process of collaboration. Part III outlines the performance practice of creative realisation. This is achieved through documentation and analysis of the embellishments that were added to the flute part of each new composition and the strategies that were used to develop a personalised embellishment style.

description: We present a wide class of potentials which admit kinks and corresponding mirror kinks with either a power law or an exponential tail at the two extreme ends and a power-tower form of tails at the two neighbouring ends, i.e. of the forms $ette$ or $pttp$ where $e, p$ and $t$ denote exponential, power law and power-tower tail, respectively. We analyze kink stability equation in all these cases and show that there is no gap between the zero mode and the beginning of the continuum. Finally, we provide a recipe for obtaining logarithmic potentials with power-tower kink tails and estimate kink-kink interaction strength.

description: As population pressure on land grows rapidly in Kenya, rural farmers have started to intensify land use, which has led to the emergence of a new maize farming system. The new system is characterized by the adoption of high-yielding maize varieties, the application of chemical fertilizer and manure produced by stall-fed improved dairy cows, and intercropping, especially the combination of maize and legumes. This study aims to explore the determinants of the new maize farming system and its impact on land productivity and household income. We examine not only the impacts of new technologies and production practices but also the impact of the entire new maize farming system by generating an agricultural intensification index based on a principal component analysis. The estimation results show that an increase in sub-location level population density and a decrease in the land-labor ratio of an individual household accelerate farming intensification, and that the adoption of each new technology and production practice has positive and significant impacts on land productivity. These findings are further supported by the significantly positive impacts of the agriculture intensification index on land productivity.

description: It is argued that the familiar algebra of the non-commutative space-time with $c$-number $θ^{μν}$ is inconsistent from a theoretical point of view. Consistent algebras are obtained by promoting $θ^{μν}$ to an anti-symmetric tensor operator ${\hatθ}^{μν}$. The simplest among them is Doplicher-Fredenhagen-Roberts (DFR) algebra in which the triple commutator among the coordinate operators is assumed to vanish. This allows us to define the Lorentz-covariant operator fields on the DFR algebra as operators diagonal in the 6-dimensional $θ$-space of the hermitian operators, ${\hatθ}^{μν}$. It is shown that we then recover Carlson-Carone-Zobin (CCZ) formulation of the Lorentz-invariant non-commutative gauge theory with no need of compactification of the extra 6 dimensions. It is also pointed out that a general argument concerning the normalizability of the weight function in the Lorentz metric leads to a division of the $θ$-space into two disjoint spaces not connected by any Lorentz transformation so that the CCZ covariant moment formula holds true in each space, separately. A non-commutative generalization of Connes' two-sheeted Minkowski space-time is also proposed. Two simple models of quantum field theory are reformulated on $M_4\times Z_2$ obtained in the commutative limit.

description: The adoption of new technologies, such as fertilizer, plays an important role in improving agricultural production in Africa. Fertilizer is a risky input and its adoption by farmers is often very low. Farmers’ risk attitudes are often considered to be the reason behind low fertilizer adoption. Typical empirical research ignores the family dynamics that affects household’s agricultural choices. This paper uses a collective household model to estimate the effects of experimentally derived risk preferences of both spouses in farming households interacted with relative women’s bargaining power on fertilizer use. We find that empowered females who are more risk and loss averse use less fertilizer, than disempowered females in collective households. More loss averse male household heads opt for using more affordable type of fertilizer to avoid higher losses in the event of a negative shock. More risk averse and loss averse female household heads are also less likely to use riskier types of fertilizer.

description: Dissipative nonlinear wave dynamics have been investigated extensively in mode-locked lasers with single transverse-mode, whereas there are few studies related to three-dimensional nonlinear dynamics within lasers. Recently, spatiotemporal mode-locking (STML) was proposed in lasers with small modal (i.e., transverse-mode) dispersion, which has been considered to be critical for achieving STML in those cavities because the small dispersion can be easily balanced. Here, we demonstrate that STML can also be achieved in multimode lasers with much larger modal dispersion, where we find that the intracavity saturable absorber plays an important role for counteracting the large modal dispersion. Furthermore, we observe a new STML phenomenon of passive nonlinear auto-selection of single-mode mode-locking, resulting from the interaction between spatiotemporal saturable absorption and spatial gain competition. Our work significantly broadens the design possibilities for useful STML lasers thus making them much more accessible for applications, and extends the explorable parameter space of the novel dissipative spatiotemporal nonlinear dynamics that can be achieved in these lasers.

Can the rapid braking of the white dwarf in AE Aquarii be explained in terms of the gravitational wave emitter mechanism?

description: The spin-down power of the white dwarf in the close binary AE Aquarii significantly exceeds the bolometric luminosity of the system. The interpretation of this phenomenon in terms of the gravitational-wave emitter mechanism has been recently suggested by Choi & Yi. The basic assumption of their interpretation is that the spatially limited blobs or mounds of the mass δm ~ 10^{-3} M_sun, are present at the magnetic poles of the white dwarf. We show that the mounds of this mass can be confined by the magnetic field of the white dwarf only if the dipole magnetic moment of the star exceeds 4x10^{37} G cm^3. Under these conditions, however, the magnetodipole losses of the white dwarf would exceed the evaluated spin-down power 6 orders of magnitude. On this basis we discard a possibility that the observed rapid braking of the white dwarf in AE Aquarii can be explained in terms of the mechanism proposed by Choi & Yi.

description: We evaluate ratios of the $χ_{c1}$ decay rates to $η$ ($η', K^-$) and one of the $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1710)$, $f_2(1270)$, $f_2'(1525)$, $K^{*}_2(1430)$ resonances, which in the local hidden gauge approach are dynamically generated from the vector-vector interaction. With the simple assumption that the $χ_{c1}$ is a singlet of SU(3), and the input from the study of these resonances as vector-vector molecular states, we describe the experimental ratio $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c1} \rightarrow ηf_2(1270))/ \mathcal{B}(χ_{c1} \rightarrow η' f_2'(1525))$ and make predictions for six more ratios that can be tested in future experiments.

description: Deterministic models of vegetation often summarize, at a macroscopic scale, a multitude of intrinsically random events occurring at a microscopic scale. We bridge the gap between these scales by demonstrating convergence to a mean-field limit for a general class of stochastic models representing each individual ecological event in the limit of large system size. The proof relies on classical stochastic coupling techniques that we generalize to cover spatially extended interactions. The mean-field limit is a spatially extended non-Markovian process characterized by nonlocal integro-differential equations describing the evolution of the probability for a patch of land to be in a given state (the generalized Kolmogorov equations of the process, GKEs). We thus provide an accessible general framework for spatially extending many classical finite-state models from ecology and population dynamics. We demonstrate the practical effectiveness of our approach through a detailed comparison of our limiting spatial model and the finite-size version of a specific savanna-forest model, the so-called Staver-Levin model. There is remarkable dynamic consistency between the GKEs and the finite-size system, in spite of almost sure forest extinction in the finite-size system. To resolve this apparent paradox, we show that the extinction rate drops sharply when nontrivial equilibria emerge in the GKEs, and that the finite-size system's quasi-stationary distribution (stationary distribution conditional on non-extinction) closely matches the bifurcation diagram of the GKEs. Furthermore, the limit process can support periodic oscillations of the probability distribution, thus providing an elementary example of a jump process that does not converge to a stationary distribution. In spatially extended settings, environmental heterogeneity can lead to waves of invasion and front-pinning phenomena.

description: A manager of a food processing facility faces the dilemma that postponing a treatment (such as fumigation) in order to save money, risks allowing insect population to increase to an amount that causes economic damage. This economic damage includes buyer discounts due to presence of insects or insect damage, cost of extra treatments needed, or rejection by a buyer. Conversely, fumigating too early may allow the remaining insect population to rebound sufficiently that another expensive fumigation is necessary earlier than it would have been. Managers need economic guidelines to make insect control decisions that fully consider treatment costs, effectiveness, and costs of failing to control insects. Here, we value the tradeoff between fumigating now and fumigating later using a real options approach, which measures the risk tradeoff in money terms. Specifically, we consider a food-processing manager who is facing a timing decision to shut down the whole facility for fumigation. The approach can be easily expanded to value the risk/reward tradeoffs of alternative insect control strategies, including integrated pest management strategies that include sampling and monitoring, helping food processing firms make better insect control decisions.
