description: Nematic states are characterized by rotational symmetry breaking without translational ordering. Recently, nematic superconductivity, in which the superconducting gap spontaneously lifts the rotational symmetry of the lattice, has been discovered. However the pairing mechanism and the mechanism determining the nematic orientation remain unresolved. A first step is to demonstrate control of the nematicity, through application of an external symmetry-breaking field, to determine the sign and strength of coupling to the lattice. Here, we report for the first time control of the nematic orientation of the superconductivity of Sr$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$, through externally-applied uniaxial stress. The suppression of subdomains indicates that it is the $Δ_{4y}$ state that is most favoured under compression along the basal Bi-Bi bonds. These results provide an inevitable step towards understanding the microscopic origin of the unique topological nematic superconductivity.

The influence of rotation in radiation driven wind from hot stars: New solutions and disk formation in Be stars
Creators: name: Curé, Michel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The theory of radiation driven wind including stellar rotation is re-examined. After a suitable change of variables, a new equation for the mass loss rate is derived analytically. The solution of this equation remains within 1% confidence when compared with numerical solutions. Also, a non-linear equation for the position of the critical (singular) point is obtained. This equation shows the existence of an additional critical point, besides the standard m--CAK critical point. For a stellar rotation velocity larger than aprox. 0.7 - 0.8 V_{breakup}, there exists only one critical point, located away from the star's surface. Numerical solutions crossing through this new critical point, are attained. In these cases, the wind has a very low terminal velocity and therefore a higher density wind. Disk formation in Be stars is discussed in the frame of this new line driven stellar wind solution.

description: Topological string theory with twistor space as the target makes visible some otherwise difficult to see properties of perturbative Yang-Mills theory. But left-right symmetry, which is obvious in the standard formalism, is highly unclear from this point of view. Here we prove that tree diagrams computed from connected $D$-instanton configurations are parity-symmetric. The main point in the proof also works for loop diagrams.

description: We study the application of a new method for simulating nonlinear dynamics of many-body spin systems using quantum measurement and feedback [Muñoz-Arias et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 110503 (2020)] to a broad class of many-body models known as $p$-spin Hamiltonians, which describe Ising-like models on a completely connected graph with $p$-body interactions. The method simulates the desired mean field dynamics in the thermodynamic limit by combining nonprojective measurements of a component of the collective spin with a global rotation conditioned on the measurement outcome. We apply this protocol to simulate the dynamics of the $p$-spin Hamiltonians and demonstrate how different aspects of criticality in the mean-field regime are readily accessible with our protocol. We study applications including properties of dynamical phase transitions and the emergence of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the adiabatic dynamics of the collective spin for different values of the parameter $p$. We also demonstrate how this method can be employed to study the quantum-to-classical transition in the dynamics continuously as a function of system size.

description: In recent years the potential variability of the world food system has become increasingly obvious. Especially during 1972-73 the magnitude of increases in farm product and food prices surprised most everyone within the public as well as the private sectors. To U.S. government officials who were struggling to contain inflation, especially in the administered price sectors of the economy, this tremendous increase in food prices was indeed a bitter disappointment. Moreover, from the standpoint of existing price forecasting models, it became clear that current perceptions and methods of predicting food price system events were no longer viable.

description: In this paper $γ^* - γ^*$ scattering with large, but more or less equal virtualities of two photons is discussed using BFKL dynamics, emphasizing the large impact parameter behavior ($b_t$) of the dipole-dipole amplitude. It is shown that the non-perturbative contribution is essential to fulfill the unitarity constraints in the region of $b_t > 1/2 m_π$, where $m_π$ is pion mass. The saturation and the unitarization of the dipole-dipole amplitude is considered in the framework of the Glauber-Mueller approach. The main result is that we can satisfy the unitarity constraints introducing the non-perturbative corrections only in initial conditions (Born amplitude).

But the authors are more careful to recognize the value of prior information than many of their colleagues and are also aware their hypotheses need confirmation before application.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We propose a field theoretical model defined on non-commutative space-time with non-constant non-commutativity parameter $Θ(x)$, which satisfies two main requirements: it is gauge invariant and reproduces in the commutative limit, $Θ\to 0$, the standard $U(1)$ gauge theory. We work in the slowly varying field approximation where higher derivatives terms in the star commutator are neglected and the latter is approximated by the Poisson bracket, $-i[f,g]_\star\approx\{f,g\}$. We derive an explicit expression for both the NC deformation of Abelian gauge transformations which close the algebra $[δ_f,δ_g]A=δ_{\{f,g\}}A$, and the NC field strength ${\cal F}$, covariant under these transformations, $δ_f {\cal F}=\{{\cal F},f\}$. NC Chern-Simons equations are equivalent to the requirement that the NC field strength, ${\cal F}$, should vanish identically. Such equations are non-Lagrangian. The NC deformation of Yang-Mills theory is obtained from the gauge invariant action, $S=\int {\cal F}^2$. As guiding example, the case of $su(2)$-like non-commutativity, corresponding to rotationally invariant NC space, is worked out in detail.

description: The study had the following objectives: first, to study the present conditions of rice combine harvester industry, second, to study the present policies and measures affecting the industry; and third, to provide recommendations to improve the industry. The study was conducted in the central part of Thailand during 2015-16. Secondary data were collected from various government offices and universities. Primary data were collected from combine harvester factories, and others stakeholders. Findings were described with percentage, and average statistics. The rice combine harvester factories could be divided into two groups, big and small. Domestic markets were the principal target and export markets were insignificant. The “product innovation” was based on the copy and development method and their investment in R&D were minimal. High precision tools and computer-aided programs were used mainly by big factories. All managerial decisions were done mainly on the basis of the owners’ experiences. Some policies and measures were directly or indirectly beneficial, and some were binding. None of the surveyed firms used the facilities. Fiscal and monetary measures could be used to increase the performance of the industry. They should help increase both demand for and supply. For example, export tax credit should be a measure to stimulate export demand. Investment tax credit should be introduced to encourage firms to invest in new or sophisticated equipment. Professional qualification standards should be introduced to help raise the workmanship. All expenses for various trainings should be tax deductible. A sufficient amount of budget should be continually allocated to involving offices and universities to do researches and development.

description: The need for a more integrated market structure where the farmer is provided both backward and forward linkage and which will help to minimize inefficiencies in the marketing system was addressed by legislation in early 2000. Accordingly, the monopoly of traditional regulated markets was broken with the entry of direct marketing, corporate entry, private markets, etc. This paper is therefore an attempt to compare two marketing channels, namely regulated markets and corporates in the marketing of pomegranates in order to observe price spread and net returns to farmers. The corporate selected is Deepak Fertilizers and Petro Chemicals Limited (DFPCL) which provides the registered farmers with total agri solutions through soil, water, plant testing facilities along with complete crop nutritional management. Further, DFPCL also provides marketing linkage to the farmers with product buy back and retailing. The study observed that the net price received by farmers in case of sale to corporate was 75 percent higher than traditional channel. This was explained by the fact that the corporate purchases only superior quality produce and further the farmers do not have to bear transport or marketing costs which are borne by farmers who sell their produce to regulated markets. Post harvest losses were also less when sales were made through corporates in view of better storage structures and therefore less decay of produce. India is a leading producer of fruits and vegetables but only a negligible portion of superior quality production is purchased by corporates. The scale of operations of such corporates must therefore be increased so that farmers can benefit from advisory service and thus produce better quality produce and also obtain higher prices. Regulated markets which are still the dominant source of marketing must strengthen their infrastructure and maintain orderly marketing. Efficient marketing can thus benefit both the producer as well as consumer.

description: The relative strengths of Rashba and Dresselhaus terms describing the spin-orbit coupling in semiconductor quantum well (QW) structures are extracted from photocurrent measurements on n-type InAs QWs containing a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). This novel technique makes use of the angular distribution of the spin-galvanic effect at certain directions of spin orientation in the plane of a QW. The ratio of the relevant Rashba and Dresselhaus coefficients can be deduced directly from experiment and does not relay on theoretically obtained quantities. Thus our experiments open a new way to determine the different contributions to spin-orbit coupling.

description: Farmers have their own preferences for agricultural technology attributes, which have been found to significantly influence adoption decisions. However, these are not always known nor do they always match with the objectives of the researchers. To understand farmers’ preferences for rice varietal trait improvements (VTIs), we conducted a framed field experiment. The experiment provided the farmers the opportunity to participate early in rice breeding research by expressing their need for trait improvements. In the experiment, farmers were given an endowment fund of 100 Philippine pesos and were asked to invest it among the VTIs they prefer and need using the Investment Game Application (IGA), a newly developed application for eliciting preferences. Farmers were sampled from randomly selected villages in three municipalities in Nueva Ecija, a major rice producing province in the Philippines. In total, 122 households joined the experiment, with both husband and wife participating. We use the fractional multinomial logit model to examine the relationship of the proportion invested to VTIs with various factors that may influence farmers’ preferences. Results indicate that market and climate change information, wet season cropping, hybrid varieties, and farm size are among the factors that influence farmers to invest in trait improvements. Moreover, results of the gender-specific analysis indicate that there are differences in the factors that influence husband and wife in investing in trait improvements. Overall, information from this study can assist breeders in their efforts to make rice breeding more resource efficient and client-oriented, which could help facilitate the adoption of new and improved varieties.

description: We present a detailed analysis of present and future Cosmic Microwave Background constraints of the value of the fine-structure constant, $α$. We carry out a more detailed analysis of the WMAP first-year data, deriving state-of-the-art constraints on $α$ and discussing various other issues, such as the possible hints for the running of the spectral index. We find, at 95% C.L. that $0.95 < α_{\text{dec}} / α_0 < 1.02$. Setting $dn_S /dlnk=0$, yields $0.94< α_{\text{dec}} / α_0 < 1.01$ as previously reported. We find that a lower value of $α/ α_0$ makes a value of $d n_S /dlnk = 0$ more compatible with the data. We also perform a thorough Fisher Matrix Analysis (including both temperature and polarization, as well as $α$ and the optical depth $τ$), in order to estimate how future CMB experiments will be able to constrain $α$ and other cosmological parameters. We find that Planck data alone can constrain $τ$ with a accuracy of the order 4% and that this constraint can be as small as 1.7% for an ideal cosmic variance limited experiment. Constraints on $α$ are of the order 0.3% for Planck and can in principle be as small as 0.1% using CMB data alone - tighter constraints will require further (non-CMB) priors.

description: The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) collaborated with various research and development partners in nine countries in South and Southeast Asia to document the adoption of different cassava varieties. Cassava experts from Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, The Philippines, Indonesia, China and India got together in country workshops to discuss the use of different cassava varieties and estimated the adoption of these varieties at major production zones and national levels. A variety of disciplines that included breeding, seed production, extension, economics and plant protection contributed to this effort and provided for many countries the first estimates of adoption of this root crop. The more diversity of disciplines and representation of cassava production areas consulted, the more consistent and reliable the estimates we reported. Adoption estimates indicate that out of 4.1 million of hectares of cassava production targeted in the nine countries, 2.7 million (65%) are grown using CIAT related varieties, However, the level of adoption of varieties varies from country to country implying different level of success of different cassava genetic improvement programs in the region.

description: In this work, we consider a non-quadratic dilaton $Φ(z)=(κ\,z)^{2-α}$ in the context of the static soft wall model to describe the mass spectrum of a wide range of vector mesons from the light up to the heavy sectors. The effect of this non-quadratic approach is translated into non-linear Regge trajectories with the generic form $M^2=a\,(n+b)^ν$. We apply this sort of fits for the isovector states of $ω$, $ϕ$, $J/ψ$ and $Υ$ mesons and compare with the corresponding holographic duals. We also extend these ideas to the heavy-light sector by using the isovector set of parameters to extrapolate the proper values of $κ$ and $α$ through the average constituent mass $\bar{m}$ for each mesonic specie considered. In the same direction, we address the description of possible non-$q\,\bar{q}$ candidates using $\bar{m}$ as a holographic threshold, associated with the structure of the exotic state, to define the values of $κ$ and $α$. We study the $π_1$ mesons in the light sector, and the $Z_c$, $Y$ and $Z_b$ mesons in the heavy sector as possible exotic vector states. Finally, the RMS error for describing these twenty-seven states with fifteen parameters (four values for $κ$ and $α$ respectively and seven values for $\bar{m}$) is $12.61\%$.

Furthermore, we explain how to generalize the performed consideration for quark-antiquark systems, in particular, for the reaction phi(1020) -> gamma f0(980). Here we also consider in more detail the quark-model non-relativistic approach for this reaction.

Experimental preservation : Investigations into Collective Forms of Happiness
Creators: name: Janeiro, Stephanie
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This thesis pursues an exploration of collective moments of happiness in the city and their potential under experimental preservation discourse to re-frame normative considerations for architectural preservation. This thesis situates itself in the experimental preservationist’s concern with the current intellectual frames used to assess the value of contemporary objects, as conventional criteria, such as “historical significance,” date back to the late 19th century. Experimental preservation aims to challenge and question the conventional notions of cultural heritage preservation by actively choosing to preserve objects that fall outside the official narratives of preservation, in this case specific moments of happiness. This project started with an observation about the inevitable demand for a reconstructed notion of preservation as we move into a period of ever-increasing development and density in the city of Vancouver. In this project, the link between future development increases and public spaces of collective happiness is pushed to the extreme. This project asks how the current methods of preservation will adapt to contemporary notions of development and social understandings and obsessions of happiness.

description: Fostering rapid and sustained agricultural growth in the rural area is the prime focus of the policy maker in many developing countries and especially in India for two important reasons. One, though the contribution of agriculture in the gross domestic product is declining still majority of the rural household depends directly on agriculture for their livelihood. Secondly, sustain agricultural growth is strongly associated with the reduction of poverty in India. One way to achieve a sustain growth with a higher level of income in rural economy is to diversify from farm to non-farm sector. Another emerging trend is diversification within the farm towards commercial crop. Many studies have looked at rural structural transformation separately through the lens of diversification from farm to non-farm sector or through diversification within the farm sector. But there is hardly a study that has tried to analyse the rural diversification jointly. This paper tries to study the rural structural transformation in Nagaland through two process- diversification from farm to non-farm and diversification within farm sector towards commercial crops. The study will also try to analyse empirically on the factors responsible for the household to diversify through the two processes. The present study uses the National sample Survey’ (NSS) unit level data on Employment and Unemployment survey and DES, Govt. of India for secondary data. 200 household’ field surveyed data with structured questionnaire is used for primary data. The rural occupational diversification in Nagaland has peculiar characteristics as compared to the all India level. It is found that the diversification is mostly dominated by regular salaried employed and non-farm self-employed unlike in the case of India, where household diversify generally towards casual nonfarm job which are informal in nature. These two processes for rural transformation have a larger policy implication for the poverty reduction and growth.

description: This paper examines thresholds for certain properties of the attractor of a general one-parameter affine family of iterated functions systems. As the parameter increases, the iterated function system becomes less contractive, and the attractor evolves. Thresholds are studied for the following properties: the existence of an attractor, the connectivity of the attractor, and the existence of non-empty interior of the attractor. Also discussed are transition phenomena between existence and non-existence of an attractor.

description: We propose a new principle for a compact solid-state laser in the 1-100 THz regime. This is a frequency range where attempts to fabricate small size lasers up till now have met severe technical problems. The proposed laser is based on a new mechanism for creating spin-flip processes in ferromagnetic conductors. The mechanism is due to the interaction of light with conduction electrons; the interaction strength, being proportional to the large exchange energy, exceeds the Zeeman interaction by orders of magnitude. On the basis of this interaction, a giant lasing effect is predicted in a system where a population inversion has been created by tunneling injection of spin-polarized electrons from one ferromagnetic conductor to another -- the magnetization of the two ferromagnets having different orientations. Using experimental data for ferromagnetic manganese perovskites with nearly 100% spin polarization we show the laser frequency to be in the range 1-100 THz. The optical gain is estimated to be of order 10^7 cm^{-1}, which exceeds the gain of conventional semiconductor lasers by 3 or 4 orders of magnitude. A relevant experimental study is proposed and discussed.

description: Due to recent booming of UAVs technologies, these are being used in many fields involving complex tasks. Some of them involve a high risk to the vehicle driver, such as fire monitoring and rescue tasks, which make UAVs excellent for avoiding human risks. Mission Planning for UAVs is the process of planning the locations and actions (loading/dropping a load, taking videos/pictures, acquiring information) for the vehicles, typically over a time period. These vehicles are controlled from Ground Control Stations (GCSs) where human operators use rudimentary systems. This paper presents a new Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm for solving complex Mission Planning Problems (MPP) involving a team of UAVs and a set of GCSs. A hybrid fitness function has been designed using a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) to check if solutions are valid and Pareto-based measures to look for optimal solutions. The algorithm has been tested on several datasets optimizing different variables of the mission, such as the makespan, the fuel consumption, distance, etc. Experimental results show that the new algorithm is able to obtain good solutions, however as the problem becomes more complex, the optimal solutions also become harder to find.

description: The recent deep learning revolution has created an enormous opportunity for accelerating compute capabilities in the context of physics-based simulations. Here, we propose EikoNet, a deep learning approach to solving the Eikonal equation, which characterizes the first-arrival-time field in heterogeneous 3D velocity structures. Our grid-free approach allows for rapid determination of the travel time between any two points within a continuous 3D domain. These travel time solutions are allowed to violate the differential equation - which casts the problem as one of optimization - with the goal of finding network parameters that minimize the degree to which the equation is violated. In doing so, the method exploits the differentiability of neural networks to calculate the spatial gradients analytically, meaning the network can be trained on its own without ever needing solutions from a finite difference algorithm. EikoNet is rigorously tested on several velocity models and sampling methods to demonstrate robustness and versatility. Training and inference are highly parallelized, making the approach well-suited for GPUs. EikoNet has low memory overhead, and further avoids the need for travel-time lookup tables. The developed approach has important applications to earthquake hypocenter inversion, ray multi-pathing, and tomographic modeling, as well as to other fields beyond seismology where ray tracing is essential.

description: Climate is very important human life and direct effect on the Whole world’s behaviors. From 1951 to 2020, I studied the trend of climate change in Nanjing, China. Temperature, precipitation, sunlight hour, and relative humidity are the analyzed factors. This study's content is mainly based on a trend analysis of climate change. The analysis is carried out in two directions. One of the most important aspects of the research is the annual climate change trend in Nanjing from 1951 to 2020. The key focus areas are the annual average temperature trend, the annual maximum temperature trend, the annual minimum temperature trend, the annual relative humidity trend, and the annual sunshine hour trend. The seasonal climate change trend in Nanjing from 1951 to 2020 is another research path. It attempted to demonstrate the significance of climate change by analyzing from 1951 to 2020 climate change data by using the XLSTAT software. Annual and seasonal climate factors were analyzed using Mann-Kendall (MK) trend test. Annual average temperature, average maximum temperature, and average minimum temperature trends increased and all the seasons (autumn, spring, summer, and winter) increased trend. The average annual relative humidity and all the seasonal graphs were the negative trends that mean relative humidity was decreased within the study period. The total annual precipitation trend was decreasing too. But when seasonal total precipitation autumn, summer, and winter were increased trend but the spring was decrease trend. Not only precipitation but also annual total sunshine hour was decrease trend. All seasons of the sunshine hour was decrease trend.

description: The objectives of this study aimed to analyze environmental factor with the five forces model and to develop marketing capability with participatory approach. Samples were randomized and questionnaires were used to collect data with 30 samples under 3food processing community enterprises, i.e., fresh longan producer group, strawberry processor group, and banana processor group. The groups were suggested by government officers in the Department of Agriculture and Community Development Department. It was found that approach strategy was used in the 3 community enterprise groups through product display in other occasions. For competitive factor, production competition was in high level among these community enterprises since consumer demand was also in high level. Moreover, developing marketing capability should cooperate with stakeholders such as community enterprise networks, government and private agencies, contributing to efficient competitive advantage. Furthermore, SWOT analysis was necessary to evaluate marketing competition and was in accord with management of community enterprise networks.
