description: Fractional relaxation equations, as well as relaxation functions time-changed by independent stochastic processes have been widely studied (see, for example, \cite{MAI}, \cite{STAW} and \cite{GAR}). We start here by proving that the upper-incomplete Gamma function satisfies the tempered-relaxation equation (of index $ρ\in (0,1)$); thanks to this explicit form of the solution, we can then derive its spectral distribution, which extends the stable law. Accordingly, we define a new class of selfsimilar processes (by means of the $n$-times Laplace transform of its density) which is indexed by the parameter $ρ$: in the special case where $ρ=1$, it reduces to the stable subordinator. Therefore the parameter $ρ$ can be seen as a measure of the local deviation from the temporal dependence structure displayed in the standard stable case.

description: A wavelet transform spectrum analyzer operating in real time within the frequency range 3X10^(-5) - 1.3X10^5 Hz has been implemented on a low-cost Digital Signal Processing board operating at 150MHz. The wavelet decomposition of the signal allows to efficiently process non-stationary signals dominated by large amplitude events fairly well localized in time, thus providing the natural tool to analyze processes characterized by 1/f^alpha power spectrum. The parallel architecture of the DSP allows the real-time processing of the wavelet transform of the signal sampled at 0.3MHz. The bandwidth is about 220dB, almost ten decades. The power spectrum of the scattered intensity is processed in real time from the mean square value of the wavelet coefficients within each frequency band. The performances of the spectrum analyzer have been investigated by performing Dynamic Light Scattering experiments on colloidal suspensions and by comparing the measured spectra with the correlation functions data obtained with a traditional multi tau correlator. In order to asses the potentialities of the spectrum analyzer in the investigation of processes involving a wide range of timescales, we have performed measurements on a model system where fluctuations in the scattered intensities are generated by the number fluctuations in a dilute colloidal suspension illuminated by a wide beam. This system is characterized by a power-law spectrum with exponent -3/2 in the scattered intensity fluctuations. The spectrum analyzer allows to recover the power spectrum with a dynamic range spanning about 8 decades. The advantages of wavelet analysis versus correlation analysis in the investigation of processes characterized by a wide distribution of time scales and non-stationary processes are briefly discussed.

description: We present HST WFPC2 V band imaging for 23 Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies taken from the QDOT redshift survey. The fraction of sources observed to be interacting is 87%. Most of the merging systems show a number of compact `knots', whose colour and brightness differ substantially from their immediate surroundings. Colour maps for nine of the objects show a non-uniform colour structure. Features include blue regions located towards the centres of merging systems which are likely to be areas of enhanced star formation, and compact red regions which are likely to be dust shrouded starbursts or AGN. The host galaxies of the QSOs in the sample were found to be either interacting systems or ellipticals. Our data shows no evidence that ULIRGs are a simple transition stage between galaxy mergers and QSOs. We propose an alternative model for ULIRGs based on the morphologies in our sample and previous N-body simulations. Under this model ULIRGs as a class are much more diverse than a simple transition between galaxy merger and QSO. The evolution of IR power source and merger morphology in ULIRGs is driven solely by the local environment and the morphologies of the merger progenitors.

description: Given the lack of word delimiters in written Japanese, word segmentation is generally considered a crucial first step in processing Japanese texts. Typical Japanese segmentation algorithms rely either on a lexicon and syntactic analysis or on pre-segmented data; but these are labor-intensive, and the lexico-syntactic techniques are vulnerable to the unknown word problem. In contrast, we introduce a novel, more robust statistical method utilizing unsegmented training data. Despite its simplicity, the algorithm yields performance on long kanji sequences comparable to and sometimes surpassing that of state-of-the-art morphological analyzers over a variety of error metrics. The algorithm also outperforms another mostly-unsupervised statistical algorithm previously proposed for Chinese. Additionally, we present a two-level annotation scheme for Japanese to incorporate multiple segmentation granularities, and introduce two novel evaluation metrics, both based on the notion of a compatible bracket, that can account for multiple granularities simultaneously.

In the present study, 6 genotypes of sugarcane (SC 06, SC 04, SC 25, SC 11, SC 13 and SC 30) was acquired & excised for apical and sub apical parts (eyes/ lateral buds). The explants were surface sterilized with Clorox (70% +100%, 20 & 10 min). Results showed that highest survival % was achieved with apical buds (66%) as compared to lateral buds (33%). In addition, effect of different concentrations of rooting media (NAA, 5% Sucrose and 6% Sucrose) and shooting media (GA3, 0.1mg/, Kinetin, 0.1mg/L and BAP 0.1mg/L, Kinetin 0.1mg/L,GA3 0.1mg/L, NAA 0.1mg/L) was studied. Synergistic response was observed on the growth of plant with hormone consortia. Significant differences were observed in No. of roots, shoot length @ No. of shoots at all tested treatments. Highest No. of roots recorded for SC 30 at with 6% Sucrose. Highest No. of shoots was recorded for SC 04 with GA3 @ 0.1mg/L and highest shoot length for SC 06 at 0.1mg/ L of Kinetin.

description: A mail survey of NIPF owners in two counties in northern Sweden was conducted to investigate the risk preferences, perceptions of the return and risk of timber investment relative to investment alternatives outside forestry. Our aim was to determine to what extent the NIPF owners’ harvesting behaviour was consistent with their preferences and subjective judgments. A majority of the respondents were risk-neutral or risk-prone. We found that risk preferences have significant impacts on the decision to fell; the more a forest owner likes to take risks, the more likely it is that he/she conducts final felling. The result also shows large variations among NIPF owners with respect to the subjective judgements of the return and risk of the alternative investments. For each respondent we elicited the most preferred investment alternative based on the stated risk preferences and the subjective judgements of the return and risk of the alternative investments. Owners whose preferred investment alternative is the mature forest are on average significantly less active in harvesting than owners with other preferred investment alternatives. The study reveals indications of the difficulties for NIPF owners to make rational decisions when faced with uncertainties.

description: We address the general problem of hard objects on random lattices, and emphasize the crucial role played by the colorability of the lattices to ensure the existence of a crystallization transition. We first solve explicitly the naive (colorless) random-lattice version of the hard-square model and find that the only matter critical point is the non-unitary Lee-Yang edge singularity. We then show how to restore the crystallization transition of the hard-square model by considering the same model on bicolored random lattices. Solving this model exactly, we show moreover that the crystallization transition point lies in the universality class of the Ising model coupled to 2D quantum gravity. We finally extend our analysis to a new two-particle exclusion model, whose regular lattice version involves hard squares of two different sizes. The exact solution of this model on bicolorable random lattices displays a phase diagram with two (continuous and discontinuous) crystallization transition lines meeting at a higher order critical point, in the universality class of the tricritical Ising model coupled to 2D quantum gravity.

description: The Global Earth Overshoot Day, the date when all annually available natural resources are consumed, is set for July this year. For densely populated European countries like Germany or Switzerland, that specific day is due even earlier (May). To overcome such an unsustainable lifestyle, immediate actions are required, which includes substantial educational efforts. As the model of "Sustainable Development" is complex, appropriate pedagogical actions need to support cognitive learning, critical thinking and behavioural actions. Knowledge about individual conceptions in relation to the Environment, Nature and Ecological Footprints contributes to pre-conditions to succeed. To what extent present teaching methods influenced individual conceptions during the first UN-decade regarding those terms is illustrated by 464 Swiss-German university freshmen who participated in our paper-pencil test, which is based on four open questions. The term of Environment was perceived as the sum of biocentric, ecocentric and anthropocentric views. The participants often equated the term to Nature and associated it with positive feelings or emotions. Therefore, calm, joy and aesthetic appreciation were predominantly named. Regardless of the concept, humans were perceived as the Greatest Environmental Threat. In contrast, recommendations to reduce Environmental Footprints regarding mobility & transport, waste avoidance and consumption differ. Following a binary logistic regression analysis, the involvement of the Inclusion of Self Scale (INS) was used as an explanatory variable to detect patterns of those conceptions. Relating sustainable concepts, natural resources were frequently named exceeding saving water and energy or other association dealt with second-hand issues or regional/ seasonal usages. Such ideas are shaped by experiences and scientific expertise.

description: We derive bounds on couplings in the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) as a consequence of causality and the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes. In the SMEFT, there are 64 independent operators at mass dimension eight that are quartic in bosons (either Higgs or gauge fields) and that contain four derivatives and/or field strengths, including both CP-conserving and CP-violating operators. Using analytic dispersion relation arguments for two-to-two bosonic scattering amplitudes, we derive 27 independent bounds on the sign or magnitude of the couplings. We show that these bounds also follow as a consequence of causality of signal propagation in nonvacuum SM backgrounds. These bounds come in two qualitative forms: i) positivity of (various linear combinations of) couplings of CP-even operators and ii) upper bounds on the magnitude of CP-odd operators in terms of (products of) CP-even couplings. We exhibit various classes of example completions, which all satisfy our EFT bounds. These bounds have consequences for current and future particle physics experiments, as part of the observable parameter space is inconsistent with causality and analyticity. To demonstrate the impact of our bounds, we consider applications both to SMEFT constraints derived at colliders and to limits on the neutron electric dipole moment, highlighting the connection between such searches suggested by infrared consistency.

description: This paper studies effects of public cost sharing on reforestation in Norway by applying various econometric specifications to a large panel of Norwegian non-industrial forest owners for the period from 1993 to 2003. Using both average estimators and estimators with individual specific unobserved effects allows for revealing both long and short term effects. To control for heterogeneity we estimate separate models for different sub samples according to property size. The results reveal considerable heterogeneity, with reforestation responses varying with property size. In the short run it seems that public support mainly affects the discrete decision to undertake reforestation measures rather than the continuous decision of reforestation intensity. The long run effects of public support are moderate.

description: As the largest developing economy, China plays a key role in global climate change. Environmentally extended input-output analysis (EE-IOA) is an important and insightful tool seeing widespread use in studying large-scale environmental impacts in China: calculating and analyzing greenhouse gas emissions, carbon and water footprints, pollution, and embedded energy. Chinese EE-IOA are hindered, however, by unreliable data and limited resolution. This paper reviews the body of literature regarding EE-IOA for China in peer-reviewed journals and provides an overview of the articles, examining their methodologies, environmental issues addressed, and data utilized. This paper further identifies the shortcomings in using input-output analyses to gauge environmental impacts in China. Potentially fruitful areas of expansion in Chinese EE-IOA research are denoted, including under-researched environmental issues, underutilized methodologies, and techniques to disaggregate data to move beyond the limitations inherent in official Chinese input-output data.
Effects of chiral restoration on the behaviour of the Polyakov loop at strong coupling

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We discuss the relation between the Polyakov loop and the chiral order parameter at finite temperature. For that purpose we analyse an effective model proposed by Gocksch and Ogilvie, which is constructed by the double expansion of strong coupling and large dimensionality. We make improvements in dealing with the model and then obtain plausible results for the behaviours of both the Polyakov loop and the chiral scalar condensate. The pseudo-critical temperature read from the Polyakov loop turns out to coincide exactly with that read from the chiral scalar condensate. Within the model study based on the strong coupling expansion, the coincidence of the pseudo-critical temperatures results from the fact that the jump of the Polyakov loop in the presence of dynamical quarks should signify the chiral phase transition rather than the deconfinement transition.

description: Academic journals rely on researchers agreeing to act as reviewers (or referees) for submitted papers. Researchers who publish papers themselves benefit from the contributions of those who review their papers, and so have a moral obligation to provide reviewing services for journals. However, reviewing is time consuming, and the total number of papers published continues to increase, so editors have found it increasingly difficult to obtain reviews. Further, the quality of reviews provided by reviewers varies greatly. This paper addresses various issues related to the journal refereeing process, including: tips on how to go about conducting a high-quality review efficiently and fairly; what can and cannot realistically be expected of referees; advice on dealing with ethical issues in refereeing; problems with the existing peer-review system used most commonly by journals; and a look at novel review systems.

description: This paper explores the notion of approximate data structures, which return approximately correct answers to queries, but run faster than their exact counterparts. The paper describes approximate variants of the van Emde Boas data structure, which support the same dynamic operations as the standard van Emde Boas data structure (min, max, successor, predecessor, and existence queries, as well as insertion and deletion), except that answers to queries are approximate. The variants support all operations in constant time provided the performance guarantee is 1+1/polylog(n), and in O(loglogn) time provided the performance guarantee is 1+1/polynomial(n), for n elements in the data structure. Applications described include Prim's minimum-spanning-tree algorithm, Dijkstra's single-source shortest paths algorithm, and an on-line variant of Graham's convex hull algorithm. To obtain output which approximates the desired output with the performance guarantee tending to 1, Prim's algorithm requires only linear time, Dijkstra's algorithm requires O(mloglogn) time, and the on-line variant of Graham's algorithm requires constant amortized time per operation.

Investigation of clustering of galaxies, clusters and superclusters by the method of correlation Gamma-function

description: Using the apparatus of correlation Gamma-function (``conditional density''), we have analyzed spatial clustering of objects from several different samples of galaxies, clusters and superclusters. On small scales the distribution of objects obeys a power law drop of density with a power index of 0.9--1.5. On a scale of ~30 Mpc for independent samples of bright galaxies and clusters of galaxies we have detected a pronounced break in the slope of the Gamma-function with a power index decreasing to ~0.3. The clustering is much less pronounced in the region from 40 to 100 Mpc, and there is reason to suppose that the distribution of objects changes to homogeneous on scales larger than 100 Mpc. This is indicated by the slope of the Gamma-function close to 0 for a sample of rich clusters of galaxies up to 250 Mpc. The slope of the Gamma-function prior to the break, which characterizes the degree of clustering of matter, changes essentially and in a complex manner when passing to brighter (massive) objects. This suggests that the large-scale structure of the visible Universe even on small scales is considerably more complex than the fractal distribution described by one dimension (monofractal).

Failed gender agreement in L1 English L2 Spanish: Syntactic or lexical problem?

description: A recent proposal attributes morphosyntactic issues in L2 to lexical factors (Grüter et al. 2012; Hopp 2013). According to this lexical account, issues with gender agreement are caused by gender assignment issues – a failure to assign a word to a target-like class. We elaborate on this idea by exploring three potential cues to gender assignment: 1) semantic gender relating to sex (e.g. ‘girl’ vs. ‘boy’) 2) morphophonological cues, and 3) morphosyntactic agreement cues. Semantic and morphophonological cues may facilitate gender agreement only for a subset of nouns, whereas agreement cues can do so for all nouns, including opaque gender nouns that do not have semantic gender.Seventeen low proficiency and sixteen high proficiency L1 English L2 Spanish speakers and eighteen native Spanish controls judged the grammaticality of 60 experimental sentences. We compared participants’ gender agreement accuracy and reaction times (RTs) on experimental items with and without semantic gender, and with and without transparent gender morphemes. Semantic gender did not serve as a cue for gender assignment/agreement; instead, it slowed down RTs in high proficiency and control participants. Morphophonological cues significantly increased accuracy and decreased RTs in all groups. Finally, agreement cues did not seem to help low proficiency learners, since their accuracy on opaque nouns was barely above chance. By contrast, high proficiency learners exhibited native-like accuracy on opaque nouns. These findings support the lexical accounts of L2 gender agreement difficulties, adding more data to the growing body of research in this field.

description: The study dealt with the total wheat scenario in terms of productivity growth in Bangladesh covering the period from 1980 to 2006. The 26 years of wheat production period was divided iaio three consecutive sub periods: period I (1980 to 1990), period II (1991 to 2000) and period III (2001 to 2006). Technological breakthrough was started from the mid of the 1" period and continued up to the end of the 2°d period. The study revealed that the growth rate of inputs used was higher in the 2nd period than in the 1S` period. The growth rate of output price was always lower than that of input prices. In spite of the lowest partial factor productivity indices of all the input, the total factor productivity indices were highest in the 2nd period. The 28 years' (1972-73 to 1999-00) mean rainfall and temperature did not favour the farmers to produce more wheat. In aggregate sense, the wheat production in the 2"d period was the most cost effective. The growth rate of yield was found to be 0.2 percent during the study period. Of the period, only 2nd period was considered as the golden revolutionary period in the history of wheat in Bangladesh since 1980. Technological change in wheat production in the golden revolutionary period has relatively benefited consumers more than producers. Research, mechanization and market are the most important sources of growth in total factor productivity. The extent of annual fluctuation of wheat productivity will have to be minimized by more efficient use of inputs.

The present study was conducted to assess the dimensions of food security for farm households under different land use patterns in Bangladesh. Fourteen land use patterns which are largely practiced by the farmers were selected for the present study. In total, 730 farm households were selected from 50 villages of 18 Upazilas under 8 districts of Bangladesh. Four categories of farmers such as marginal, small, medium and large farmers who were largely involved in the present land use patterns were selected for the present study. The data and information so collected were converted into descriptive statistics such as arithmetic means, percentages and ratio. Regarding food availability all categories of farmers under the selected land use patterns were more or less self-sufficient in cereals, but they had tremendous shortages in other crops like potato, vegetables, pulses, oilseeds (mustard) and fish. The present study also assessed per capita food intake and nutritional status of different categories of farm households. The food consumption for overall land use patterns was i observed to be 1182 grams. Per capita calorie intake was relatively higher (2620-2645 kcal) for the farm households practicing alternate shrimp (golda) and rice farming, alternate rice and wheat production and alternate rice and maize production. Considering all selected land use patterns, per capita per day protein intake was 63.84 grams which was slightly higher than the national average (62.52).

description: The study estimated vegetable demand elasticities in Bangladesh by using Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model with corrected Stone price index. The study was conducted in Sherpur, Mymensingh Sadar under Mymensingh district and Ramna Thana under Dhaka Municipality. The household expenditure survey data was used in the study. The study revealed that the income (expenditure) elasticity for fresh vegetable was 0.58. The compensated and uncompensated own price elasticities indicated that all food items were price inelastic. Where estimated uncompensated own price elasticity of vegetables at the national level indicated that if the price of vegetables falls by 10% the demand for vegetables would increase by 4.09%. Of this total increase in demand, 3.61% is purely due to price effect (i.e. the substitute effect) as the compensated elasticity suggests. The estimates of cross price elasticities indicated that the substitution effects of price change were not strong. Therefore, government price intervention might not lead to considerable price repercussion in the economy.

description: We study the effect of superfluidity on the tidal response of a neutron star in a general relativistic framework. In this work, we take a dual-layer approach where the superfluid matter is confined in the core of the star. Then, the superfluid core is encapsulated with an envelope of ordinary matter fluid which acts effectively as the low-density crustal region of the star. In the core, the matter content is described by a two-fluid model where only the neutrons are taken as superfluid and the other fluid consists of protons and electrons making it charge neutral. We calculate the values of various tidal love numbers of a neutron star and discuss how they are affected due to the presence of entrainment between the two fluids in the core. We also emphasize that more than one tidal parameter is necessary to probe superfluidity with the gravitational wave from the binary inspiral.

description: We consider the trapping reaction A + B -> B in space dimension d<=2. By formally eliminating the B particles from the problem we derive an effective dynamics for the A particles from which the survival probability of a given A particle and the statistics of its spatial fluctuations can be calculated in a rather general way. The method can be extended to the study of annihilation/coalescence reactions, B + B -> 0 or B, in d=2.

Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: The relationship between Coale's method and Reverse Survival method has been investigated in this article. Since Coale's method produces estimates which are found to be approximately equal to that of reverse survival method, it is useful to determine a constant multiplier to make Coale's estimates equal to that of the reverse survival method. In this effort, the west model life tables have been used and the constant multipliers for males and females have been found. The male's and female's multipliers are 1.0054 and 1.0083 respectively. It is interesting to note that when the estimates based on Coale's method are known, the estimates based on the reverse survival method can be obtained for both the sexes by using the common multiplier 1.01.

description: This overview aims to be a resource to support researchers and educators in engaging students on climate change and the climate emergency - using Climate Cafes. A goal from Climate Cafes is to identify problems, share them and then co-design solutions - ranging from the global scale to the campus around them.Created for researchers and educators wanting to make friendly and inviting spaces for staff and students to come together to discuss and explore the climate emergency.Based on developing and running Climate Cafes at the University of Hull (UK) from 2020-2025, this resource provides information on how to maximise student voice and identify relevant concerns (both problems and solutions).A typical structure is provided for a Climate Cafe as well as things to consider and avoid. Furthermore, a case study describes how students were encouraged and supported to turn their concerns into proposals through the University of Hull Sustainability Competition.An accessible Word version of this resource is provided alongside the PDF document.
Poisson-Lie plurals of Bianchi cosmologies and Generalized Supergravity Equations

description: Poisson-Lie T-duality and plurality are important solution generating techniques in string theory and (generalized) supergravity. Since duality/plurality does not preserve conformal invariance, the usual beta function equations are replaced by Generalized Supergravity Equations containing vector $\mathcal{J}$. In this paper we apply Poisson-Lie T-plurality on Bianchi cosmologies. We present a formula for the vector $\mathcal{J}$ as well as transformation rule for dilaton, and show that plural backgrounds together with this dilaton and $\mathcal{J}$ satisfy the Generalized Supergravity Equations. The procedure is valid also for non-local dilaton and non-constant $\mathcal{J}$. We also show that $Div\,Θ$ of the non-commutative structure $Θ$ used for non-Abelian T-duality or integrable deformations does not give correct $\mathcal{J}$ for Poisson-Lie T-plurality.

description: Gravitational-wave observations of coalescing binary systems allow for novel tests of the strong-field regime of gravity. Using data from the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center (GWOSC) of the LIGO and Virgo detectors, we place the first constraints on an effective field-theory based extension of General Relativity in which only higher-order curvature terms are added to the Einstein-Hilbert action. We construct gravitational-wave templates describing the quasi-circular, adiabatic inspiral phase of binary black holes in this extended theory of gravity. Then, after explaining how to properly take into account the region of validity of the effective field theory when performing tests of General Relativity, we perform Bayesian model selection using the two lowest-mass binary black-hole events reported to date by LIGO and Virgo -- GW151226 and GW170608 -- and constrain this theory with respect to General Relativity. We find that these data disfavors the appearance of new physics on distance scales around $\sim 150$ km. Finally, we describe a general strategy for improving constraints as more observations will become available with future detectors on the ground and in space.

description: We present some results of a CFHT adaptive optics search for companions to nearby dwarfs. We identify 21 new components in solar neighbourhood systems, of which 13 were found while surveying a volume-limited sample of M dwarfs within 12pc. We are obtaining complete observations for this subsample, to derive unbiased multiplicity statistics for the very-low-mass disk population. Additionally, we resolve for the first time 6 known spectroscopic or astrometric binaries, for a total of 27 newly resolved companions. A fair fraction of the new binaries has favourable parameters for accurate mass determinations. The newly resolved companion of Gl120.1C had an apparent spectroscopic minimum mass in the brown-dwarf range (Duquennoy & Mayor 1991) and it contributed to the statistical evidence that a few percent of solar type stars might have close-in brown-dwarf companions. We find that Gl~120.1C actually is an unrecognised double-lined spectroscopic pair. Its radial-velocity amplitude had therefore been strongly underestimated by Duquennoy & Mayor, and it does not truly belong to their sample of single-lined systems with minimum spectroscopic mass below the substellar limit. We also present the first direct detection of Gl~494B, an astrometric brown-dwarf candidate. Its luminosity does straddle the substellar limit, and it is a brown dwarf if its age is less than 300Myr. A few more years of observations will ascertain its mass and status from first principles.
