description: African-Americans as a group went from owning almost no land in the United States after the Civil War to peaking at 15 million acres by 1920. In that year, 14% of all US farmers were black. Of these 926,000 black farmers, all but 10,000 were in the South. By 1997, fewer than 20,000, or 1% of all farmers, were black, and they owned only about two million acres. The loss of landownership and farming operations has contributed to the poverty of many rural communities in the South. This paper consists of a review of 74 journal articles, reports, chapters, and books on African-Americans and farming, comprising most of the scholarly literature on the issue published since 1971. One of the commonalities in the literature is the sense of hopelessness in stemming the tide of black land loss. On the other hand, another commonality is the view that the black farmer and rural landowner must be sustained, even brought back. Among the studies are those claiming that landowners make up the backbone of civic and political life in rural black communities. Other advantages of landownership include increased personal pride, higher educational achievement of children, and an overall better sense of wellbeing. Most of the works offer similar perspectives of the decline of blacks in farming, and suggested solutions also are often repeated in these works. But there are differences in the works, and together they cover a wide range of issues that differentiate black farmers by sub-region, state, farm size, tenure, crops raised, and social and economic situation.
Double Hopf bifurcations in two geophysical fluid dynamics models
Creators: name: Lewis, Gregory M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: We analyze the double Hopf bifurcations which occur in two geophysical fluid dynamics models: (1) a two-layer quasigeostrophic potential vorticity model with forcing and (2) a mathematical model of the differentially heated rotating annulus experiment. The bifurcations occur at the transition between axisymmetric steady solutions and non-axisymmetric travelling waves. For both models, the results indicate that, close to the transition, there are regions in parameter space where there are multiple stable waves. Hysteresis of these waves is predicted. For each model, center manifold reduction and normal form theory are used to deduce the local behaviour of the full system of partial differential equations from a low-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations. In each case, it is not possible to compute the relevant eigenvalues and eigenfunctions analytically. Therefore, the linear part of the equations is discretized and the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are approximated from the resulting matrix eigenvalue problem. However, the projection onto the center manifold and reduction to normal form can be done analytically. Thus, a combination of analytical and numerical methods are used to obtain numerical approximations of the normal form coefficients, from which the dynamics are deduced. The first model differs from those previously studied with bifurcation analysis since it supports a steady solution which varies nonlinearly with latitude. The results indicate that the forcing does not qualitatively change the behaviour. However, the form of the bifurcating solution is affected. The second model uses the Navier-Stokes equations in the Boussinesq approximation, in cylindrical geometry. In addition to the double Hopf bifurcation analysis, a detailed axisymmetric to non-axisymmetric transition curve is produced from the computed eigenvalues. A quantitative comparison with experimental data finds that the computed transition curve, critical wave numbers and drift rates of the bifurcating waves are reasonably accurate. This indicates that the analysis, as well as the approximations which are made, are valid.
Renormalization group approach to multiscale modelling in materials science

description: Dendritic growth, and the formation of material microstructure in general, necessarily involves a wide range of length scales from the atomic up to sample dimensions. The phase field approach of Langer, enhanced by optimal asymptotic methods and adaptive mesh refinement, copes with this range of scales, and provides an effective way to move phase boundaries. However, it fails to preserve memory of the underlying crystallographic anisotropy, and thus is ill-suited for problems involving defects or elasticity. The phase field crystal (PFC) equation-- a conserving analogue of the Hohenberg-Swift equation --is a phase field equation with periodic solutions that represent the atomic density. It can natively model elasticity, the formation of solid phases, and accurately reproduces the nonequilibrium dynamics of phase transitions in real materials. However, the PFC models matter at the atomic scale, rendering it unsuitable for coping with the range of length scales in problems of serious interest. Here, we show that a computationally-efficient multiscale approach to the PFC can be developed systematically by using the renormalization group or equivalent techniques to derive appropriate coarse-grained coupled phase and amplitude equations, which are suitable for solution by adaptive mesh refinement algorithms.
Loss of ergodicity in a quantum hopping model of a dense many body system with repulsive interactions

description: In this work we report on a loss of ergodicity in a simple hopping model, motivated by the Hubbard Hamiltonian, of a many body quantum system at zero temperature, quantized in Euclidean time. We show that this quantum system may lose ergodicity at high densities on a large lattice, as a result of both Pauli exclusion and strong Coulomb repulsion. In particular we study particle hopping susceptibilities and the tendency towards particle localization. It is found that the appearance and existence of quantum phase transitions in this model, in the case of high density and strong Coulomb repulsion, depends on the starting configuration of particle trajectories in the numerical simulation. We argue that this breakdown may be the Euclidean time version of a breakdown of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis in real time quantization.

description: This report has been prepared as one effort to assist the Albanian government in formulating a policy approach appropriate to the conditions and culture of their country. The goal of this report is to examine the approach to agricultural land protection in other parts of the world, for the lessons they can provide to Albania. There is little recent literature on the subject of agricultural land protection policies. Most of the articles found in the English-language literature are six to ten years old, and in turn often rely on other sources that are several years older still. Thus, this survey should be viewed as a somewhat dated catalog of policy approaches which have been used at various times in the respective jurisdictions rather than as a statement of the current policy structure of a particular jurisdiction.

description: Potassium-40 ($^{40}$K) is a long-lived, naturally occurring radioactive isotope. The decay products are prominent backgrounds for many rare event searches, including those involving NaI-based scintillators. $^{40}$K also plays a role in geochronological dating techniques. The branching ratio of the electron capture directly to the ground state of argon-40 has never been measured, which can cause difficulty in interpreting certain results or can lead to lack of precision depending on the field and analysis technique. The KDK (Potassium (K) Decay (DK)) collaboration is measuring this decay. A composite method has a silicon drift detector with an enriched, thermally deposited $^{40}$K source inside the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer. This setup has been characterized in terms of energy calibration, gamma tagging efficiency, live time and false negatives and positives. A complementary, homogeneous, method is also discussed; it employs a KSr$_2$I$_5$:Eu scintillator as source and detector.

description: As will become clear in this article, the author's position shifts from pessimist to optimist as this writing progresses. The first section presents some of the difficulties that Albania is experiencing with respect to the immovable property registration system (IPRS) project (pessimist's position). The next section offers some of the advantages to be found in the Albanian system (optimist's position). The last section considers several plans used to deal with the problems; these programs are both tactical and strategic and, in my opinion, require careful coordination to resolve the difficulties encountered.
WHO RENTS AMERICA? OWNERS, TENANTS, AND TAXES

description: The American bias that privileges owners over tenants has its roots in early US history, in the colonial practices of limiting suffrage to property owners, and in the formation of a Constitution that protected the propertied minority from the propertyless majority. While the property test for suffrage eventually disappeared, the property bias persists, just as other barriers of gender, national origin, poverty, religion and race remain pervasive in our society. The impacts of this bias are felt not only by tenants but also by their landlords and is exercised through community organizations dominated by owners as well as common practices of zoning and tax policy. Three recent property tax bills of the New Jersey legislature illuminate the tenuous status of renters in tax policy. Even the most cursory review of recent survey data reveals the degree to which the stigma of rentership is inappropriate. This paper argues that America's renters are its owners too, and planners should foster policies that enforce greater equity among renters and owners.

Collective motion in finite Fermi systems within Vlasov dynamics

description: A semiclassical theory of linear response in finite Fermi systems, based on the Vlasov equation, and its applications to the study of isoscalar vibrations in heavy nuclei are reviewed. It is argued that the Vlasov equation can be used to study the response of small quantum systems like (heavy) nuclei in regimes for which the finite size of the system is more important than the collisions between constituents. This requires solving the linearized Vlasov equation for finite systems, however, in this case the problem of choosing appropriate boundary conditions for the fluctuations of the phase-space-density is non-trivial. Calculations of the isoscalar response functions performed by using different boundary conditions, corresponding to fixed and moving nuclear surface, are compared for different multipoles and it is found that, in a sharp-surface model, the moving-surface boundary conditions give better agreement with experiment. The semiclassical strength functions given by this theory are strikingly similar to the results of analogous quantum calculations, in spite of the fact that shell effects are not included in the theory, this happens because of a well known close relation between classical trajectories and shell structure.

description: Decoherence remains one of the most serious challenges to the implementation of quantum technology. It appears as a result of the transformation over time of a quantum superposition state into a classical mixture due to the quantum system interacting with the environment. Since quantum systems are never completely isolated from their environment, decoherence therefore cannot be avoided in realistic situations. Decoherence has been extensively studied, mostly theoretically, because it has many important implications in quantum technology, such as in the fields of quantum information processing, quantum communication and quantum computation. Here we report a novel experimental scheme on the study of decoherence of a two-mode squeezed vacuum state via its second harmonic generation signal. Our scheme can directly extract the decoherence of the phase-sensitive quantum correlation $\langle \hat{a}\hat{b}\rangle$ between two entangled modes $a$ and $b$. Such a correlation is the most important characteristic of a two-mode squeezed state. More importantly, this is an experimental study on the decoherence effect of a squeezed vacuum state, which has been rarely investigated.

Using the synthetic Colour - Magnitude Diagram method with three different types of stellar evolutionary tracks, we estimate values and theoretical uncertainty of distance modulus mod0, reddening E(B-V), age tau and approximate metallicity. The best fit to the data is obtained for 13.8 <= mod0 <= 14.1, 0.64 <= E(B-V) <= 0.65, 2 <= tau <= 2.5 Gyr (depending on the amount of overshooting from convective regions adopted in the stellar models) and solar metallicity.

Local spin alignment of vector mesons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

description: We investigate the spin alignment of vector mesons arising from locally polarized quarks and anti-quarks (local spin alignment) in heavy-ion collisions. We find that $ρ_{00}\neq 1/3$ does not necessarily signal the global polarization of quarks and anti-quarks along the orbital angular momentum of the system, but may also originate from their local spin polarization. Such local spin polarization could be induced by local vorticity arising from the anisotropic expansion of the fireball. We further propose experimental observables that can distinguish between the local and the global spin alignments. Measurements of these observables in heavy-ion collisions can probe the vorticity pattern and shed light on the puzzles of $ϕ$ and $K^{*0}$ spin alignments.

Cosmic Variance In the Transparency of the Intergalactic Medium After Reionization

Year: 2005

description: Following the completion of cosmic reionization, the mean-free-path of ionizing photons was set by a population of Ly-limit absorbers. As the mean-free-path steadily grew, the intensity of the ionizing background also grew, thus lowering the residual neutral fraction of hydrogen in ionization equilibrium throughout the diffuse intergalactic medium (IGM). Ly-alpha photons provide a sensitive probe for tracing the distribution of this residual hydrogen at the end of reionization. Here we calculate the cosmic variance among different lines-of-sight in the distribution of the mean Ly-alpha optical depths. We find fractional variations in the effective post-reionization optical depth that are of order unity on a scale of ~100 co-moving Mpc, in agreement with observations towards high-redshift quasars. Significant contributions to these variations are provided by the cosmic variance in the density contrast on the scale of the mean-free-path for ionizing photons, and by fluctuations in the ionizing background induced by delayed or enhanced structure formation. Cosmic variance results in a highly asymmetric distribution of transmission through the IGM, with fractional fluctuations in Ly-alpha transmission that ar larger than in Ly-beta transmission.

description: For over five years, the Michigan State University Libraries Digital Scholarship Lab (DSL) has partnered with Digital Humanities at MSU to offer a Project Incubator program that provides participants an opportunity to advance a digital scholarship project in the early stages of development. Through a series of trainings, participants learn about the life cycle of digital scholarship projects, digital tools and methodologies, research data management, and project management. Woven throughout are craft workshops and co-working sessions where participants receive in-depth feedback, connections with experts, and dedicated work time. Since 2020, the program has supported eighteen projects, many of them with global reach and audiences, and still others, created by indigenous faculty and students for their communities and families.

For all its strengths, the Project Incubator program raises the question: After a project is incubated, then what? Or to put it another way, what infrastructures, programs, and services must be cultivated to best support participants across the entire project lifecycle? In this presentation we engage with this question by sharing the findings of a strategic assessment of current and past participants in the Project Incubator. Using an Appreciative Inquiry framework, we conducted a survey and interviews with participants to surface program strengths and barriers that restrict work on their projects. Additionally, we adapted a digital project lifecycle model to assess the current state of projects that have come out of the program. By sharing this presentation, we seek to offer insights for others working to establish similar programs, services, and infrastructures at their home institutions. We also seek feedback from this community about how we can better attract and encourage participants and projects that engage with global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented communities.

Boron-Doping Effects on Local Structures of Semiconducting Ultrananocrystalline Diamond/Hydrogenated Amorphous Carbon Composite Thin Films Fabricated via Coaxial Arc Plasma: an X-ray Absorption Spectroscopic Study

description: Ultrananocrystalline diamond/hydrogenated amorphous carbon composite thin films synthesized via coaxial arc plasma possess a marked structural feature of diamond grains embedded in an amorphous carbon and a hydrogenated amorphous carbon matrix which are the largest constituents of the films. Since the amorphous nature yields much larger light absorption coefficients as well as a generation source of photo-induced carriers with UV rays, these films can be potential candidates for deep-UV photodetector applications. From some previous studies p-type conduction of the films has been realized by doping boron in experimental conditions. In addition, their optical and electrical characteristics were investigated previously. However, the bonding structures which largely affect the physical properties of the devices have not been investigated. In this work, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy characterizations are carried out. The result reveals that a bonding state σ* C-B of diamond surfaces is formed preferentially and structural distortion is caused at an early stage of boron-doping. Further doping into the films lessens the amount of unsaturated bonds such as π* C=-C, which may be a cause of the device performance degradations. Our work suggests a fundamental case model of boron-doping effects on a local structure of the film.

description: A search for pair production of scalar leptoquarks, each decaying into either an electron or a muon and a top quark, is presented. This is the first leptoquark search using ATLAS data to investigate top-philic cross-generational couplings that could provide explanations for recently observed anomalies in $B$ meson decays. This analysis targets high leptoquark masses which cause the decay products of each resultant top quark to be contained within a single high-$p_{\mathrm{T}}$ large-radius jet. The full Run 2 dataset is exploited, consisting of 139 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected from proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV from 2015 to 2018 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In the absence of any significant deviation from the background expectation, lower limits on the leptoquark masses are set at 1480 GeV and 1470 GeV for the electron and muon channel, respectively.

description: We derive an exact solution to the Einstein's equations with a stress-energy tensor corresponding to an opposite-sign scalar field, and show that such a solution describes the internal region of a rotating wormhole. We also derive an static wormhole asymptotically flat solution and match them on both regions, thus obtaining an analytic solution for the complete space-time. We explore some of the features of these solutions.

description: The elastodynamic equations are frequently encountered in the geosciences for assessing the stability of mining excavations or performing seismological analyses of rock bursts and earthquakes. However, the geometric complexity of the problems encountered usually prevents exact solutions from being determined. Thus it is necessary to resort to numerical approximations in order to obtain solutions to elastodynamic problems with general geometries. In previous work, using boundary element methods for approximating solutions of the elastodynamic equations has been limited due to numerical instabilities that appear sporadically when applying this technique. Until recently, finite difference and finite element methods have been used almost exclusively for these approximations. Besides being computationally more expensive since the entire domain needs to be discretized, finite difference and finite element methods also have problems with numerical dispersion. Examining boundary element methods could lead to the development of techniques that are less intense computationally and avoid any numerical dispersion problems. For boundary element methods to become a standard tool for approximating these solutions, there must be some type of criterion established for choosing meshing parameters to ensure stability. A complete analysis of a one-dimensional model problem is performed via the z - transform. For this model problem, the validity of the stability analysis is confirmed from a comparison of the analytic results with numerical experiments. This allows some guidelines to be made to ensure that a particular numerical approximation is stable when applied to the model problem.

description: Malaria pathogenesis and parasite multiplication depend on the ability of Plasmodium merozoites to invade human erythrocytes. Invasion is a complex multi-step process involving multiple parasite proteins which can differ between species and has been most extensively studied in P. falciparum. However, dissecting the precise role of individual proteins has to date been limited by the availability of quantifiable phenotypic assays. In this study, we apply a new approach to assigning function to invasion proteins by using optical tweezers to directly manipulate recently egressed P. falciparum merozoites and erythrocytes and quantify the strength of attachment between them, as well as the frequency with which such attachments occur. Using a range of inhibitors, antibodies, and genetically modified strains including some generated specifically for this work, we quantitated the contribution of individual P. falciparum proteins to these merozoite-erythrocyte attachment interactions. Conditional deletion of the major P. falciparum merozoite surface protein PfMSP1, long thought to play a central role in initial attachment, had no impact on the force needed to pull merozoites and erythrocytes apart, whereas interventions that disrupted the function of several members of the EBA-175 like Antigen (PfEBA) family and Reticulocyte Binding Protein Homologue (PfRH) invasion ligand families did have a significant negative impact on attachment. Deletion of individual PfEBA and PfRH ligands reinforced the known redundancy within these families, with the deletion of some ligands impacting detachment force while others did not. By comparing over 4000 individual merozoite-erythrocyte interactions in a range of conditions and strains, we establish that the PfEBA/PfRH families play a central role in P. falciparum merozoite attachment, not the major merozoite surface protein PfMSP1.

description: Infectious diseases on farms pose both public and animal health risks, so understanding how they spread between farms is crucial for developing disease control strategies to prevent future outbreaks. We develop novel Bayesian nonparametric methodology to fit spatial stochastic transmission models in which the infection rate between any two farms is a function that depends on the distance between them, but without assuming a specified parametric form. Making nonparametric inference in this context is challenging since the likelihood function of the observed data is intractable because the underlying transmission process is unobserved. We adopt a fully Bayesian approach by assigning a transformed Gaussian Process prior distribution to the infection rate function, and then develop an efficient data augmentation Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to perform Bayesian inference. We use the posterior predictive distribution to simulate the effect of different disease control methods and their economic impact. We analyse a large outbreak of Avian Influenza in the Netherlands and infer the between-farm infection rate, as well as the unknown infection status of farms which were pre-emptively culled. We use our results to analyse ring-culling strategies, and conclude that although effective, ring-culling has limited impact in high density areas.

description: [Objectives] This study aimed to explore the effect of different concentrations of selenium fertilizer on the yield, selenium content and heavy metal contents of waxy maize, thereby providing reference for the scientific application of selenium fertilizer on waxy maize. [Methods] Different varieties of waxy maize (Guitiannuo 611, Guinuo 615 and Guiheinuo 609) were used as test materials. They were sprayed with different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g/L) of water-soluble selenium fertilizer (Xinxibao) at the big flare stage, and the effect on the yield, selenium content and heavy metal contents of the waxy maize was analyzed. [Results] Foliar application of different concentrations of selenium fertilizer showed no significant effect on the yield and yield components of waxy maize. As the concentration of selenium fertilizer increased, the grain selenium content of different varieties of waxy maize increased. Among them, the increase of Guinuo 615 was the largest, of which the selenium content reached 0.265 mg/kg, 2.82 times that of the control (water). The cadmium and arsenic contents of different varieties of waxy maize decreased with the increase of the concentration of selenium fertilizer sprayed. Among the waxy maize varieties, the cadmium and arsenic contents of Guitiannuo 611 dropped the most significantly, up to 52.94% and 77.78%. In waxy maize, the correlation coefficients between selenium content and cadmium, arsenic contents were -0.550 9 (P<0.05) and -0.853 0 (P<0.01), respectively. [Conclusions] Spraying exogenous selenium fertilizer had no obvious effect on the yield of waxy maize. However, the increase of the concentration of exogenous selenium fertilizer could significantly increase the selenium content and reduce the cadmium and arsenic contents in grains of different varieties of waxy maize.
Order Statistics and Benford's Law

description: Fix a base B and let zeta have the standard exponential distribution; the distribution of digits of zeta base B is known to be very close to Benford's Law. If there exists a C such that the distribution of digits of C times the elements of some set is the same as that of zeta, we say that set exhibits shifted exponential behavior base B (with a shift of log_B C \bmod 1). Let X_1, >..., X_N be independent identically distributed random variables. If the X_i's are drawn from the uniform distribution on [0,L], then as N\to\infty the distribution of the digits of the differences between adjacent order statistics converges to shifted exponential behavior (with a shift of \log_B L/N \bmod 1). By differentiating the cumulative distribution function of the logarithms modulo 1, applying Poisson Summation and then integrating the resulting expression, we derive rapidly converging explicit formulas measuring the deviations from Benford's Law. Fix a delta in (0,1) and choose N independent random variables from any compactly supported distribution with uniformly bounded first and second derivatives and a second order Taylor series expansion at each point. The distribution of digits of any N^δconsecutive differences \emph{and} all N-1 normalized differences of the order statistics exhibit shifted exponential behavior. We derive conditions on the probability density which determine whether or not the distribution of the digits of all the un-normalized differences converges to Benford's Law, shifted exponential behavior, or oscillates between the two, and show that the Pareto distribution leads to oscillating behavior.
description: 14 pages, 2 figures, version 4: Version 3: most of the numerical simulations on shifted exponential behavior have been suppressed (though are available from the authors upon request). Version 4: a referee pointed out that we need epsilon > 1/3 - delta/2 in the proof of Theorem 1.5; this has now been added

description: In this note we discuss a non-relativistic system at large charge in a regime where Schrödinger symmetry is slightly broken by an explicit mass term for the dilaton field which non-linearly realizes non-relativistic scale invariance. To get there, we first develop the large-charge formalism from the linear sigma model perspective, including the harmonic trapping potential necessary for the non-relativistic state-operator correspondence. As a signature of the explicit breaking, we identify a $\sqrt{Q}\log{Q}$ term, which depending on the space dimension is either of the same order as the effects coming from the breakdown of the EFT at the edge of the particle cloud, or can be distinguished from these effects over a large range of orders of magnitude.

description: The low-energy part of the vibration spectrum in PbMg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$O$_3$ (PMN) relaxor ferroelectric has been studied by neutron scattering above and below the Burns temperature, T$_d$. The transverse acoustic and the lowest transverse optic phonons are strongly coupled and we have obtained a model for this coupling. We observe that the lowest optic branch is always underdamped. A resolution-limited central peak and quasi-elastic scattering appear in the vicinity of the Burns temperature. It is shown that it is unlikely that the quasi-elastic scattering originates from the combined effects of coupling between TA and TO phonons with an increase of the damping of the TO phonon below T$_d$. The quasi-elastic scattering has a peak as a function of temperature close to the peak in the dielectric constant while the intensity of the central peak scattering increases strongly below this temperature. These results are discussed in terms of a random field model for relaxors.
