description: We theoretically study plasmonic antennas featuring areas of extremely concentrated electric or magnetic field, known as hot spots. We combine two types of electric-magnetic complementarity to increase the degree of freedom for the design of the antennas: bow-tie and diabolo duality and Babinet's principle. We evaluate the figures of merit for different plasmon-enhanced optical spectroscopy methods: field enhancement, decay rate enhancement, and quality factor of the plasmon resonances. The role of Babinet's principle in interchanging electric and magnetic field hot spots and its consequences for practical antenna design are discussed. In particular, diabolo antennas exhibit slightly better performance than bow-ties in terms of larger field enhancement and larger Q factor. For specific resonance frequency, diabolo antennas are considerably smaller than bow-ties which makes them favourable for the integration into more complex devices but also makes their fabrication more demanding in terms of spatial resolution. Finally, we propose Babinet-type dimer antenna featuring electromagnetic hot spot with both the electric and magnetic field components treated on equal footing.

description: La France, comme beaucoup de pays pratiquant une agriculture moderne, est une grande consommatrice de produits phytosanitaires. Depuis plusieurs années, des programmes, tels que le plan Ecophyto, ont été mis en place pour inciter les agriculteurs à réduire leur utilisation d’intrants chimiques. L’intervention publique est justifiée par le fait que l’utilisation de produits phytosanitaires engendre des externalités négatives sur la santé et sur l’environnement, externalités qui imposent un coût à la société. Cependant, la question du choix de l’instrument pour inciter les agriculteurs à diminuer leur utilisation de produits phytosanitaires est difficile à trancher. A partir d’un modèle de simulations calibré sur des données de production de blé en France, on montre que fournir une couverture assurantielle complète aux agriculteurs ne permettrait pas une réduction significative de la quantité de pesticides utilisée.

description: Newly forming proto-planets are expected to create cavities and substructures in young, gas-rich proto-planetary disks, but they are difficult to detect as they could be confused with disk features affected by advanced image-analysis techniques. Recently, a planet was discovered inside the gap of the transitional disk of the T-Tauri star PDS 70. Here we report on the detection of strong H-alpha emission from two distinct locations in the PDS 70 system, one corresponding to the previously discovered planet PDS 70 b, which confirms the earlier H$α$ detection, and another located close to the outer-edge of the gap, coinciding with a previously identified bright dust spot in the disk and with a small opening in a ring of molecular emission. We identify this second H$α$ peak as a second proto-planet in the PDS 70 system. The H$α$ emission spectra of both proto-planets indicate ongoing accretion onto the proto-planets, which appear to be near a 2:1 mean motion resonance. Our observations show that adaptive-optics-assisted, medium-resolution, integral-field spectroscopy with MUSE targeting accretion signatures will be a powerful way to trace ongoing planet formation in transitional disks at different stages of their evolution. Finding more young planetary systems in mean motion resonance would give credibility to the Grand Tack hypothesis in which Jupiter and Saturn migrated in a resonance orbit during the early formation period of our Solar System.

description: Environment is one of the key external drivers of the galaxies, while active galactic nucleus (AGN) is one of the key internal drivers. Both of them play fundamental roles in regulating the formation and evolution of galaxies. We explore the interrelationship between environment and AGN in SDSS. At a given stellar mass, the specific star formation rate distribution of the AGN host galaxies remains unchanged with over-density, with the peak of the distribution around the Green Valley. We show that, at a given stellar mass, the AGN fraction that has been commonly used in previous studies (defined as the number of AGNs relative to all galaxies including passive and star forming ones) does decrease with increasing over-density for satellites. This is largely due to the fact that the fraction of passive galaxies strongly depends on environment. In order to investigate the intrinsic correlation between AGN and environment, especially under the assumption that AGN feedback is responsible for star formation quenching, the AGN fraction should be defined as the number of AGNs relative to the star-forming galaxies only. With the new definition, we find little dependence of AGN fraction on over-density, central/satellite, and group halo mass. There is only marginal evidence that AGN may prefer denser regions, which is possibly due to more frequent interaction of galaxies or higher merger rate in groups. Our results support the scenario that internal secular evolution is the predominant mechanism of triggering AGN activity, while external environment related processes only play a minor role.

description: Abstract: An array of infections, including the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), trigger macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and subsequently hypercytokinemia, commonly referred to as a cytokine storm (CS). It is postulated that CS is mainly responsible for critical COVID-19 cases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Recognizing the therapeutic potential of Spirulina blue-green algae (Arthrospira platensis), in this in vitro stimulation study, LPS-activated macrophages and monocytes were treated with aqueous extracts of Spirulina, cultivated in either natural or controlled light conditions. We report that an extract of photosynthetically controlled Spirulina (LED Spirulina), at a concentration of 0.1 µg/mL, decreases macrophage and monocyte-induced TNF-α secretion levels by over 70% and 40%, respectively. We propose prompt in vivo studies in animal models and human subjects to determine the putative effectiveness of a natural, algae-based treatment for viral CS and ARDS, and explore the potential of a novel anti-TNF-α therapy.

description: We discuss theoretical uncertainties of the measurement of the $W$ boson mass at LEP2 energies, reconstructed with the help of the tandem of the Monte Carlo event generators KoralW and YFSWW3. Exploiting numerical results obtained with these programs, and the existing knowledge in the literature, we estimate that the theoretical uncertainty of the $W$ mass due to electroweak corrections, as reconstructed at LEP2 with the help of these programs, is $\sim 5 $MeV. Since we use certain idealized event selections and a simple $M_W$-fitting procedure, our numerical exercises can be (should be) repeated for the actual ``$M_W$ extraction methods'' of the LEP2 measurements, using KoralW and YFSWW3 or other Monte Carlo programs.

description: We have used Monte-Carlo methods and analytical techniques to investigate the influence of the characteristic parameters, such as pipe length, diffusion, adsorption, desorption and reaction rate constants on the steady-state properties of Single-File Systems with a reaction. We looked at cases when all the sites are reactive and when only some of them are reactive. Comparisons between Mean-Field predictions and Monte-Carlo simulations for the occupancy profiles and reactivity are made. Substantial differences between Mean-Field and the simulations are found when rates of diffusion are high. Mean-Field results only include Single-File behavior by changing the diffusion rate constant, but it effectively allows passing of particles. Reactivity converges to a limit value if more reactive sites are added: sites in the middle of the system have little or no effect on the kinetics. Occupancy profiles show approximately exponential behavior from the ends to the middle of the system.

description: There is developing interest in the application of Machine Learning Models (MLM) to estimation problems in economics. MLM may be particularly well suited to applications in retail, health care, energy, finance or for web based businesses where large amounts of data are available to help make better decisions and better understand consumer behavior. There are three reasons economists may want to adopt new MLM tools. First is the size of available data sets. Second, these new data sets have many potential predictors where domain knowledge may not be helpful in distinguishing which available data are most relevant. Third, larger data sets allow for modeling more complex relationships than the standard linear model, which is what MLM are able to capture.

description: Our research applies regression discontinuity to assess the effects how the introductory lectures influence on participants’ trust and then their WTP in experimental auctions. This method takes advantage of an exogenous threshold or cutoff point to evaluate causal effects. In our research, we consider the participants’ age to be the assignment variable, which is also called as forcing variable. We select a cutoff line in participants’ age and based on the cutoff line, we apply regression discontinuity technique. We conduct several sessions of experiments and we group the participants into two groups, where some participants’ ages are below the cutoff line and the rest are above it. Participants with ages above the cutoff line are exposed to introductory lectures and then the rest participants are not exposed to the lectures. We assume there is a discontinuous jump in their willingness to pay between and after application of introductory lectures. We choose local nonparametric regression (kernel) estimation methods over the global/parametric methods as non-parametric methods exhibits more robustness. We choose several potential bandwidths based on sample size. We also compare the estimation results between with and without covariates.

description: We consider a non-canonical phase-space deformation of the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra that was recently introduced in the context of quantum cosmology. We prove the existence of minimal uncertainties for all pairs of non-commuting variables. We also show that the states which minimize each uncertainty inequality are ground states of certain positive operators. The algebra is shown to be stable and to violate the usual Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl inequality for position and momentum. The techniques used are potentially interesting in the context of time-frequency analysis.

description: Government subsidized insurance is ubiquitous, yet estimation of demand in such markets remains challenging. Premium charged for a given deductible is determined by actuarial construction, thus observed choice-pairs are endogenous leading to biased estimation under standard econometric approaches. A theoretical model and simulation study are developed, and a new identification strategy proposed. An empirical application using Federal Crop Insurance Program--a $100 billion/year program--data reveals that demand is quite elastic after accounting for this endogeneity. Mistreatment of such endogeneity is likely partly responsible for pervasive faulty findings of inelastic insurance demand in related applications. Policy implications are discussed.

description: This paper presents a spatially explicit analysis of the nutrient retention ecosystem service responses to changes in forest management in the White River Basin (WRB), Indiana. We use a modified version of the Integrated Valuation of Environmental Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model and ArcGIS to simulate and value the magnitude of nutrient retention service, assess the prediction power of the InVEST water yield and nutrient retention model, estimate changes in the quantity and value of nutrient retention service with hypothetical increases in enrollment in a forest conservation program, the Classified Forest and Wildlands (CFW) Program, and rank candidate scenarios using a conservation return on investment (ROI) measure. The results suggest that the benefits from a single ecosystem service of nutrient retention can exceed the cost of the tax deductions for both forest conservation scenarios considered but not for the current CFW enrollment. In particular, expanding the CFW program in contaminated sub-watershed yields a higher ROI than expanding the CFW program along river forks. Consequently, substantial savings can be achieved by applying the ROI analysis to guide conservation policies, compared to prioritization merely on the quantity measures of nutrient retention service or compared to program expansion that is not spatially targeted.

description: I document differences in produce consumption across low and high socioeconomic status (SES) households using a large nationally representative panel. I show that the differences are great enough to be major contributors to disparities in diet-based diseases across SES. I argue that the efficacy of public health policies aimed at improving health disparities by improving access to retailers that offer healthy foods can be gauged by measuring the impact that shifting households’ shopping frequency curve has on fresh produce consumption. I estimate a household-level random effects model of households’ joint decision of shopping frequency and produce consumption using an instrumental variables approach. The model is a coupled dynamic system that allows me to decompose SES-produce consumption disparities into direct SES effects and indirect SES effects through shopping frequency. I conclude that the indirect effects are not substantial enough to motivate policy intended to reduce health inequity across SES by reducing disparities in access to food retailers that offer healthful food.

description: Recent observations of rotationally supported galaxies show a tight correlation between the observed radial acceleration at every radius and the Newtonian acceleration generated by the baryonic mass distribution, the so-called radial acceleration relation (RAR). The rotation curves (RCs) of the SPARC sample of disk galaxies with different morphologies, masses, sizes and gas fractions are investigated in the context of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). We include the effect of cold dark baryons by scaling the measured mass in the atomic form by a factor of $c$ in the mass budget of galaxies. In addition to the standard interpolating function, we also fit the RCs and the RAR with the empirical RAR-inspired interpolating function. Slightly better fits for about $47\%$ of galaxies in our sample are achieved in the presence of dark baryons ($c>1$) with the mean value of $c = 2.4\pm 1.3$. Although the MOND fits are not significantly improved by including dark baryons, it results in a decrease in the characteristic acceleration $g_†$ by $40\%$. We find no correlation between the MOND critical acceleration $a_0$ and the central surface brightness of the stellar disk, $μ_{3.6}$. This supports $a_0$ being a universal constant for all galaxies.

description: The role of interspecific hybridization in evolution is still being debated. Interspecific hybridization has on the one hand been suggested to facilitate the evolution of ecological novelty and hence the invasion of new niches and adaptive radiation when ecological opportunity is present beyond the parental species niches. On the other hand, hybrids between two ecologically divergent species may perform less well than parental species in their respective niches because hybrids would be intermediate in performance in both niches. The evolutionary consequences of hybridization may hence be context-dependent, depending on whether ecological opportunities, beyond those of the parental species, do or do not exist. Surprisingly, these complementary predictions may never have been tested in the same experiment in animals. To do so, we investigate if hybrids between ecologically distinct cichlid species perform less well than the parental species when feeding on food either parents are adapted to, and if the same hybrids perform better compared to their parents when feeding on food none of the species are adapted to. We generated two first-generation hybrid crosses between species of African cichlids. In feeding efficiency experiments we measured the performance of hybrids and parental species on food types representing both parental species niches and additional ‘novel’ niches, not used by either of the parental species but by other species in the African cichlid radiations. We found that hybrids can have higher feeding efficiencies on the ‘novel’ food types but typically have lower efficiencies on parental food types when compared to parental species. This suggests that hybridization can generate functional variation that can be of ecological relevance allowing the access to resources outside of either parental species niche. Hence, we provide support for the hypothesis of ecological context-dependency of the evolutionary impact of interspecific hybridization.

description: This study examines the intra-household bargaining its impact on the productivity of coffee and other crops functions and on the gender productivity gap, using household-level data from 615 farmers in Colombia and Ecuador. The OLS estimates and the Oaxaca-Blinder (O-B) decomposition method corroborate the hypothesis that given a gain bargaining power through the distribution factor “female participation in the intra-household decision-making” would exacerbate household productivity and the gender gap as long this bargaining is not balanced and wives do not obtain fair benefits from agricultural activities. The results also confirm that differences in observed factors between female and male-headed households are the main reason for the gender gap.

description: For the rational, elliptic and trigonometric r-matrices, we exhibit the links between three "levels" of Poisson spaces: (a) Some finite-dimensional spaces of matrix-valued holomorphic functions on the complex line; (b) Spaces of spectral curves and sheaves supported on them; (c) Symmetric products of a surface. We have, at each level, a linear space of compatible Poisson structures, and the maps relating the levels are Poisson. This leads in a natural way to Nijenhuis coordinates for these spaces. At level (b), there are Hamiltonian systems on these spaces which are integrable for each Poisson structure in the family, and which are such that the Lagrangian leaves are the intersections of the symplective leaves over the Poisson structures in the family. Specific examples include many of the well-known integrable systems.

description: We study the self-tuning of general brane junctions and brane networks on the 6-dimensional space-time. For the general brane junctions, there may exist one fine-tuning among the brane tensions. For the brane networks, similar to the 5-dimensional self-tuning brane models, the brane tensions can be set arbitrarily and there exists the singularity for the metric and bulk scalar. And if we want to regularize the singularity, we will introduce the fine-tuning among the brane tensions. In addition, because the 4-dimensional cosmological constant we observe may be positive and very small, we discuss the brane network with de Sitter brane intersections by introducing a bulk scalar.

description: MarketMaker is one of the most extensive collections of electronic searchable food industry related data engines in the country with over 17,500 profiles of food related enterprises, including more than 7,600 agricultural producers and 1,295 farmers markets. This study examined the impact of MarketMaker on participating farmers’ markets. Our findings indicate that about half of the farmers markets have experienced benefits from their participation in the form of new contacts, new customers and vendors, and increase in sales. Through the analysis of factors that affect the increase in farmers’ markets sales due to MarketMaker we identified that the components needed for the more successful use of MarketMaker include an established MarketMaker program, an established farmers’ market and an active user-manager.
A high order continuation method to locate exceptional points and to compute Puiseux series with applications to acoustic waveguides

description: A numerical algorithm is proposed to explore in a systematic way the trajectories of the eigenvalues of non-Hermitian matrices in the parametric space and exploit this in order to find the locations of defective eigenvalues in the complex plane. These non-Hermitian degeneracies also called exceptional points (EP) have raised considerable attention in the scientific community as these can have a great impact in a variety of physical problems. The method requires the computation of successive derivatives of two selected eigenvalues with respect to the parameter so that, after recombination, regular functions can be constructed. This algebraic manipulation permits the localization of exceptional points (EP), using standard root-finding algorithms and the computation of the associated Puiseux series up to an arbitrary order. This representation, which is associated with the topological structure of Riemann surfaces allows to efficiently approximate the selected pair in a certain neighbourhood of the EP. Practical applications dealing with guided acoustic waves propagating in straight ducts with absorbing walls and in periodic guiding structures are given to illustrate the versatility of the proposed method and its ability to handle large size matrices arising from finite element discretization techniques. The fact that EPs are associated with optimal dissipative treatments in the sense that they should provide best modal attenuation is also discussed.

description: New theoretical results from large-scale relativistic close coupling calculations reveal the precise effect of resonances in collisional excitation of x-ray lines of Ne-like Fe XVII. Employing the Breit-Pauli R-matrix method and a 89-level eigenfunction expansion including up to n = 4 levels shows significant resonance enhancement of the collision strengths of forbidden and intercombination transitions. The present results differ from all previous calculations, heretofore without detailed resonance structures, and should help resolve longstanding discrepancies. In particular, the present line ratios of three benchmark diagnostic lines 3C, 3D, and 3E at 15.014, 15.265, and 15.456 A respectively, are in excellent agreement with two independent measurements on Electron-Beam-Ion-Traps [Laming et al, Astrophys. J, 545, L161 (2000) and Brown et al, Astrophys. J, 502, 1015 (1998)]. The strong energy dependence due to resonances in these and other cross sections is demonstrated for the first time. It is of general importance and strongly manifests itself in x-ray plasma diagnostics.

Uraltsev Sum Rule in Bakamjian-Thomas Quark Models

description: We show that the sum rule recently proved by Uraltsev in the heavy quark limit of QCD holds in relativistic quark models à la Bakamjian and Thomas, that were already shown to satisfy Isgur-Wise scaling and Bjorken sum rule. This new sum rule provides a {\it rationale} for the lower bound of the slope of the elastic IW function $ρ^2 \geq {3 \over 4}$ obtained within the BT formalism some years ago. Uraltsev sum rule suggests an inequality $|τ_{3/2}(1)| > |τ_{1/2}(1)|$. This difference is interpreted in the BT formalism as due to the Wigner rotation of the light quark spin, independently of a possible LS force. In BT models, the sum rule convergence is very fast, the $n = 0$ state giving the essential contribution in most of the phenomenological potential models. We underline that there is a serious problem, in the heavy quark limit of QCD, between theory and experiment for the decays $B \to D^*_{0,1}(broad) \ell ν$, independently of any model calculation.

description: We report on our one-loop calculation of all the two meson scattering amplitudes within SU(3) Chiral Perturbation Theory, i.e. with pions, kaons and etas. Once the amplitudes are unitarized with the coupled channel Inverse Amplitude Method, they satisfy simultaneously the correct low-energy chiral constraints and unitarity. We obtain a remarkable description of meson-meson scattering data up to 1.2 GeV including the scattering lengths and seven light resonances.
