description: The EU food entrepreneurs are facing dramatic changes in the competition arena. Globalization and liberalization processes are offering cheaper food products in international markets, either from countries with better comparative advantages or with more efficient marketing strategies. At the same time, food markets are in a process of continuous segmentation and changes. Consumers are located in different niches, according to socio-demographic variables, cultures and traditions. Some of them respond to price changes while others are more concerned with quality control and food safety. It is on this segment where typical products, traceability and denominations of origin have significant values. SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) have to survive on this competitive scenario using several strategies : focusing their attention on specific consumer segments (aged people, gourmets or ethnic groups), products (typical, denomination of origin) or with more personal attention. Their flexibility to adapt the production process should compensate the lack of economic and human resources and specialization activities. In the 21st century they may survive through adequate strategies, most of them based on several pillars : innovation, tradition and adequate network.

description: Lithium-ion cells may experience rapid degradation in later life, especially with more extreme usage protocols. The onset of rapid degradation is called the `knee point', and forecasting it is important for the safe and economically viable use for batteries. We propose a data-driven method that uses automated feature selection to produce inputs for a Gaussian process regression model that estimates changes in battery health, from which the entire capacity fade trajectory, knee point and end of life may be predicted. The feature selection procedure flexibly adapts to varying inputs and prioritises those that impact degradation. For the datasets considered, it was found that calendar time and time spent in specific voltage regions had a strong impact on degradation rate. The approach produced median root mean square errors on capacity estimates under 1\%, and also produced median knee point and end of life prediction errors of 2.6\% and 1.3\% respectively.

description: We report a feasibility study of $CP$ violation of $τ^{-}\rightarrow K_{S}π^{-} ν_τ$ decay at a Super Tau Charm Facility~(STCF).With an expected luminosity of 1~ab$^{-1}$ collected by STCF per year at a center-of-mass energy of 4.26 GeV, the statistical sensitivity for the $CP$ violation is determined to be of order $9.7\times10^{-4}$ by measuring the decay-rate difference between $τ^{+}\rightarrow K_{S}π^{+}\barν_τ$ and $τ^{-}\rightarrow K_{S}π^{-} ν_τ$. The analysis is performed using a reliable fast simulation software package, which can describe the detector responses properly and vary the responses flexibly for further optimization. Moreover, the energy-dependent efficiencies for reconstructing $τ^{-}\rightarrow K_{S}π^{-} ν_τ$ are presented and the expected $CP$ sensitivity is proportional to $1/\sqrt{\mathcal{L}}$ in the energy region from 4.0 to 5.0 GeV. The sensitivity of $CP$ violation is of order $3.1\times10^{-4}$ with 10~ab$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity, which is equivalent to ten years data taking in this energy region at STCF.

description: We present in the article the formulation of a version of Lorentz covariant quantum mechanics based on a group theoretical construction from a Heisenberg-Weyl symmetry with position and momentum operators transforming as Minkowski four-vectors under the Lorentz symmetry. The basic representation is identified as a coherent state representation, essentially an irreducible component of the regular representation, with the matching representation of an extension of the group $C^*$-algebra giving the algebra of observables. The key feature of the formulation is that it is not unitary but pseudo-unitary, exactly in the same sense as the Minkowski spacetime representation. The language of pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics is adopted for a clear illustration of the aspect, with a metric operator obtained as really the manifestation of the Minkowski metric on the space of the state vectors. Explicit wavefunction description is given without any restriction of the variable domains, yet with a finite integral inner product. The associated covariant harmonic oscillator Fock state basis has all the standard properties in exact analog to those of a harmonic oscillator with Euclidean position and momentum operators of any `dimension'. Galilean limit of the Lorentz symmetry and the classical limit are retrieved rigorously through appropriate symmetry contractions of the algebra and its representation, including the dynamics described through the symmetry of the phase space.

Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: The European Union has developed a regulatory framework on food safety with the European Regulation 178/2002. Simultaneously growing consumers’ exigencies on food safety can be perceived. The European Regulation 178/2002 sets rules and procedures in the matter of food safety that, in many aspects, are novelties. The operators’ responsibilities and the mandatory traceability set by this regulation and put into practice since January 2005 are good examples of these regulatory innovations. These dispositions have important implications on the practices developed to ascertain food safety. The ‘traditional’ procedures indeed have been judged insufficient in front of the new regulatory exigencies.

description: Eliashberg's foundational theory of superconductivity is based on the application of Migdal's approximation, which states that vertex corrections to first order electron-phonon scattering are negligible if the ratio between phonon and electron energy scales is small. The resulting theory incorporates the first Feynman diagrams for electron and phonon self-energies. However, the latter is most commonly neglected in numerical analyses. Here we provide an extensive study of full-bandwidth Eliashberg theory in two and three dimensions, where we include the full back reaction of electrons onto the phonon spectrum. We unravel the complex interplay between nesting properties, Fermi surface density of states, renormalized electron-phonon coupling, phonon softening, and superconductivity. We propose furthermore a scaling law for the maximally possible critical temperature $T_c^{\textrm{max}}\proptoλ(Ω) \sqrt{Ω_0^2-Ω^2}$ in 2D and 3D systems, which embodies both the renormalized electron-phonon coupling strength $λ(Ω)$ and softened phonon spectrum $Ω$. Also, we analyze for which electronic structure properties a maximal $T_c$ enhancement can be achieved.

description: To receive service in today's cellular architecture, phones uniquely identify themselves to towers and thus to operators. This is now a cause of major privacy violations, as operators now sell and leak identity and location data of hundreds of millions of mobile users. In this paper, we take an end-to-end perspective on the cellular architecture and find key points of decoupling that enable us to protect user identity and location privacy with no changes to physical infrastructure, no added latency, and no requirement of direct cooperation from existing operators. We describe Pretty Good Phone Privacy (PGPP) and demonstrate how our modified backend stack (NGC) works with real phones to provide ordinary yet privacy-preserving connectivity. We explore inherent privacy and efficiency tradeoffs in a simulation of a large metropolitan region. We show how PGPP maintains today's control overheads while significantly improving user identity and location privacy.

description: Although entanglement is necessary for observing nonlocality in a Bell experiment, there are entangled states which can never be used to demonstrate nonlocal correlations. In a seminal paper [PRL 108, 200401 (2012)] F. Buscemi extended the standard Bell experiment by allowing Alice and Bob to be asked quantum, instead of classical, questions. This gives rise to a broader notion of nonlocality, one which can be observed for every entangled state. In this work we study a resource theory of this type of nonlocality referred to as Buscemi nonlocality. We propose a geometric quantifier measuring the ability of a given state and local measurements to produce Buscemi nonlocal correlations and establish its operational significance. In particular, we show that any distributed measurement which can demonstrate Buscemi nonlocal correlations provides strictly better performance than any distributed measurement which does not use entanglement in the task of distributed state discrimination. We also show that the maximal amount of Buscemi nonlocality that can be generated using a given state is precisely equal to its entanglement content. Finally, we prove a quantitative relationship between: Buscemi nonlocality, the ability to perform nonclassical teleportation, and entanglement. Using this relationship we propose new discrimination tasks for which nonclassical teleportation and entanglement lead to an advantage over their classical counterparts.

description: We search for escaping helium from the hot super Earth 55 Cnc e by taking high-resolution spectra of the 1083 nm line during two transits using Keck/NIRSPEC. We detect no helium absorption down to a 90\% upper limit of 250 ppm in excess absorption or 0.27 milli-Angstrom in equivalent width. This corresponds to a mass loss rate of less than $\sim10^9$ g/s assuming a Parker wind model with a plausible exosphere temperature of 5000-6000 K, although the precise constraint is heavily dependent on model assumptions. We consider both hydrogen- and helium-dominated atmospheric compositions, and find similar bounds on the mass loss rate in both scenarios. Our hydrodynamical models indicate that if a lightweight atmosphere exists on 55 Cnc e, our observations would have easily detected it. Together with the non-detection of Lyman $α$ absorption by Ehrenreich et al 2012, our helium non-detection indicates that 55 Cnc e either never accreted a primordial atmosphere in the first place, or lost its primordial atmosphere shortly after the dissipation of the gas disk.

description: The convection velocity of localized wave packet in plane-Poiseuille flow is found to be determined by a solitary wave at the centerline of a downstream vortex dipole in its mean field after deducting the basic flow. The fluctuation component following the vortex dipole oscillates with a global frequency selected by the upstream marginal absolute instability, and propagates obeying the local dispersion relation of the mean flow. By applying localized initial disturbances, a nonzero wave-packet density is achieved at the threshold state, suggesting a first order transition.

description: In this chapter we will describe a new development of combinatorial pulsed laser deposition (CPLD) which targets the exploration of interface libraries. The idea is to modulate continuously the composition of interfaces on a few atomic layers in order to alter their functional properties. This unique combinatorial synthesis of interfaces is possible due to very specific PLD characteristics. The first one is its well-known ability for complex oxide stoichiometry transfer from the target to the film. The second one is the layer by layer control of thin film growth at the atomic level using in-situ RHEED characterization. The third one relates to the directionality of the ablated plume which allows for selective area deposition on the substrate using a mobile shadow-mask. However PLD also has some limitations and important PLD aspects to be considered for reliable CPLD are reviewed. Multiple examples regarding the control of interface magnetism in magnetic tunnel junctions and energy band and Schottky barrier height tuning in ferroelectric tunable capacitors are presented.

description: We use Super-K data to place new strong limits on interactions of sub-GeV Dark Matter (DM) with nuclei, that rely on the DM flux inevitably induced by cosmic-ray upscatterings. We derive analogous sensitivities at Hyper-K and DUNE and compare them with others, e.g. at JUNO. Using simplified models, we find that our proposal tests genuinely new parameter space, allowed both by theoretical consistency and by other direct detection experiments, cosmology, meson decays and our recast of monojet. Our results thus motivate and shape a new physics case for any large volume detector sensitive to nuclear recoils.

description: Controlling the energy of unauthorized light signals in a quantum cryptosystem is an essential criterion for implementation security. Here, we propose a passive optical power limiter device based on thermo-optical defocusing effects providing a reliable power limiting threshold which can be readily adjusted to suit various quantum applications. In addition, the device is robust against a wide variety of signal variations (e.g. wavelength, pulse width), which is important for implementation security. Moreover, we experimentally show that the proposed device does not compromise quantum communication signals, in that it has only a very minimal impact (if not, negligible impact) on the intensity, phase, or polarization degrees of freedom of the photon, thus making it suitable for general communication purposes. To show its practical utility for quantum cryptography, we demonstrate and discuss three potential applications: (1) measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution with enhanced security against a general class of Trojan-horse attacks, (2) using the power limiter as a countermeasure against bright illumination attacks, and (3) the application of power limiters to potentially enhance the implementation security of plug-and-play quantum key distribution.

The phase gradient of the macroscopic wavefunction was mapped into the spatial structure of the diffracted atom cloud, allowing for single shot measurement of the rotation parameters. A combination of spectral and spatial information yields a complete description of the superfluid flow, coarse-grained over the lattice structure, including direct and independent measurements of the rate and sense of rotation. Signatures of the microscopic quantum rotation have also been observed.

description: Hypergraphs are a natural modeling paradigm for a wide range of complex relational systems. A standard analysis task is to identify clusters of closely related or densely interconnected nodes. Many graph algorithms for this task are based on variants of the stochastic blockmodel, a random graph with flexible cluster structure. However, there are few models and algorithms for hypergraph clustering. Here, we propose a Poisson degree-corrected hypergraph stochastic blockmodel (DCHSBM), a generative model of clustered hypergraphs with heterogeneous node degrees and edge sizes. Approximate maximum-likelihood inference in the DCHSBM naturally leads to a clustering objective that generalizes the popular modularity objective for graphs. We derive a general Louvain-type algorithm for this objective, as well as a a faster, specialized "All-Or-Nothing" (AON) variant in which edges are expected to lie fully within clusters. This special case encompasses a recent proposal for modularity in hypergraphs, while also incorporating flexible resolution and edge-size parameters. We show that AON hypergraph Louvain is highly scalable, including as an example an experiment on a synthetic hypergraph of one million nodes. We also demonstrate through synthetic experiments that the detectability regimes for hypergraph community detection differ from methods based on dyadic graph projections. We use our generative model to analyze different patterns of higher-order structure in school contact networks, U.S. congressional bill cosponsorship, U.S. congressional committees, product categories in co-purchasing behavior, and hotel locations from web browsing sessions, finding interpretable higher-order structure. We then study the behavior of our AON hypergraph Louvain algorithm, finding that it is able to recover ground truth clusters in empirical data sets exhibiting the corresponding higher-order structure.

description: The reconstruction of a k-essence inflationary universe, considering the unification between the swampland criteria and the attractor given by the scalar spectral index $n_S(N)$ together with the slow roll parameter $ε(N)$in terms of the number of $e$-folds $N$ is studied. In the context of a coupling of the form $L(ϕ)\,X$ in the k-essence model, we find the effective potential $V$ and the coupling parameter $L$ in terms of the scalar spectral index and the slow roll parameter under a general formalism. To apply the unification in our model, we consider some examples in order to rebuild the effective potential $V(ϕ)$ and the coupling parameter $L(ϕ)$ as a function of the inflaton field $ϕ$. Here, we find that the reconstruction gives rise to an exponential potential and also to natural and hyperbolic inflation, respectively. Thus, in this article we show that it is possible to unify the theoretical foundations from the swampland criteria and the observational parameters corroborated by observations, in the reconstruction of an inflationary universe.

description: In this Letter, we show numerically that the rectifying effect of heat flux in a one-dimensional two-segment Frenkel-Kontorova chain demonstrated in recent literature is merely available under the limit of the weak coupling between the two constituent segments. Surprisingly, the rectifying effect will be reversed when the properties of the interface and the system size change. The two types of asymmetric heat conduction are dominated by different mechanisms, which are all induced by the nonlinearity. We further discuss the possibility of the experimental realization of thermal diode or rectifier devices.

description: We numerically study the effect of inter-particle friction coefficient on the response to cyclical pure shear of spherical particles in three dimensions. We focus on the rotations and translations of grains and look at the spatial distribution of these displacements as well as their probability distribution functions. We find that with increasing friction, the shear band becomes thinner and more pronounced. At low friction, the amplitude of particle rotations is homogeneously distributed in the system and is therefore mostly independent from both the affine and non-affine particle translations. In contrast, at high friction, the rotations are strongly localized in the shear zone. This work shows the importance of studying the effects of inter-particle friction on the response of granular materials to cyclic forcing, both for a better understanding of how rotations correlate to translations in sheared granular systems, and due to the relevance of cyclic forcing for most real-world applications in planetary science and industry.

description: For many years, suspension bridges have been employed to economic advantage where long uninterrupted spans were required. While they have been supplanted for most common applications by cantilever and arch bridges in the United States, suspension bridges are a valid design type. Two American suspension bridges have been in service for over 100 years. A new form of suspension bridge, the cable-stayed bridge, is widely used in Europe and is expected to be as popular in the United States.  The key to the success of suspension bridges lies in the use of high-strength wires that are consolidated into the main cables. These cables support very heavy loads, compared to common structural-steel members. This allows designers of suspension bridges to employ lower dead loads than necessary for other types of bridges for equivalent live loads and spans. Unfortunately, to achieve economy of construction, load-bearing redundancy is usually sacrificed in most suspension-bridge designs. If a main cable of a suspension bridge should beak, the bridge would collapse in a catast rophic manner. Therefore, defects in the main cable wires of a suspension bridge may be significantly more critical than defects in structural members of other bridge types.

description: A computerized statistical curve-fitting algorithm has been developed for determining the time-dependent properties of conventional (load-incremental) consolidation test data. Analytical models of the graphical methods developed by Taylor and Casagrande and of the Naylor-Doran method of successive approximations determtne values for the coefficients of consolidation, permeability, and the values of deflection corresponding to the begimltng and endtng of primary consolidation. The coefficients of volume change and secondary compression are also calculated. A modified statistical definition is used to select the linear portions of the data curves and is applicable to other data-fitting problems. After the Naylor-Doran method has been used, the coefficient of consolidation cy is calculated according to a definition independent of errors in the deflection at the begining of primary consolidation do. Input instructions, codtng sheets, example problems, a flow chart, and source listing are provided. The computer program is in Fortran N for the IBM 370/165 computer and Calcomp 663 drum plotter and has proven to be extremely effective in the analysis of over 30 sets of time-deflection consolidation test data.

description: We present an updated version of a QCD coupling which fulfills various physically motivated conditions: at high momenta it practically coincides with the perturbative QCD (pQCD) coupling; at intermediate momenta it reproduces correctly the physics of the semihadronic tau decay; and at very low momenta it is suppressed as suggested by large-volume lattice calculations. An earlier presented analysis is updated here in the sense that the Adler function, in the regime $|Q^2| \lesssim 1 \ {\rm GeV}^2$, is evaluated by a renormalon-motivated resummation method. This Adler function is then used here in the evaluation of the quantities related with the semihadronic (strangeless) $τ$-decay spectral functions, including Borel-Laplace sum rules in the (V+A)-channel. The analysis is then extended to the evaluation of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_μ^{\rm had(1)}$, where we include in the Adler function the V-channel higher-twist OPE terms which are regulated in the infrared (IR) by mass parameters which are expected to be $\lesssim 1$ GeV. The correct value of $a_μ^{\rm had(1)}$ can be reproduced with the mentioned IR-regulating mass parameters if the value of the condensate $\langle O_4 \rangle_{\rm V+A}$ is positive (and thus the gluon condensate value is positive). This restriction and the requirement of the acceptable quality of the fits to the various mentioned sum rules then lead us to the restriction $0.1171 < α_s(M_Z^2;{\overline{MS}}) < 0.1180$.

A major portion of the report examines the suitability of the slake-durability tests, originally devised by Franklin-Chandra of England, as a means of broadly characterizing the engineering properties of Kentucky shales. Results obtained from ten different slake-durability testing procedures, which include procedures proposed by Franklin and Chandra and others as well as procedures devised during the study, were compared. Two procedures devised during the study appear to better characterize slake-durability properties of shales than procedures previously proposed. Natural water contents and jar slake tests were performed to determine if such tests might provide a fairly rapid means of identifying troublesome shales. The natural water content of a shale is a strong indicator of the slake-durability properties. Comprehensive mineral analyses were performed. Only a slight relationship between engineering performance and mineral composition was found. Most notably, montmorillonite was not present in any of the selected shales. Swelling properties of ten shale types were examined. A good correlation was obtained between a newly devised slake-durability index and the water content of a shale after swelling was completed. When exposed to water, most of the shales exhibited high swell pressures. Particle-size determinations, specific gravity tests, and Atterberg limits were performed. Correlations obtained from these tests and slake durability indices are described. Hardness characteristics of the shales were studied using the Shore scleroscope.

description: We present an experimental and theoretical energy- and angle-resolved study on the photoionization dynamics of non-resonant one-color two-photon single valence ionization of neutral N$_2$ molecules. Using 9.3 eV photons produced via high harmonic generation and a 3-D momentum imaging spectrometer, we detect the photoelectrons and ions produced from one-color two-photon ionization in coincidence. Photoionization of N$_2$ populates the X $^2Σ^+_g$, A $^2Π_u$, and B $^2Σ^+_u$ ionic states of N$_2^+$, where the photoelectron angular distributions associated with the X $^2Σ^+_g$ and A $^2Π_u$ states both vary with changes in photoelectron kinetic energy of only a few hundred meV. We attribute the rapid evolution in the photoelectron angular distributions to the excitation and decay of dipole-forbidden autoionizing resonances that belong to series of different symmetries, all of which are members of the Hopfield series, and compete with the direct two-photon single ionization.

description: The coherence of a hyperfine-state superposition of a trapped $^{9}$Be$^+$ ion in the presence of off-resonant light is experimentally studied. It is shown that Rayleigh elastic scattering of photons that does not change state populations also does not affect coherence. Coherence times exceeding the average scattering time of 19 photons are observed. This result implies that, with sufficient control over its parameters, laser light can be used to manipulate hyperfine-state superpositions with very little decoherence.

description: An array of conjugated Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines were synthesized via a one-pot, pseudo-five-component reaction incorporating aryl aldehydes, malononitrile, thiophenol or phenol, and acetophenone or acetyl derivatives stimulated by Montmorillonite K10 clay as an eco-friendly catalyst. The entire procedure involves the formation of two new rings, three C–N bonds, two C-C bonds, and one C–X bond. This strategy enables quick green access to functionally multifaceted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine analogues while highlighting good yields, pure products, an expedient reaction condition, and the reusability of the catalyst up to two cycles. All of the synthesized compounds were characterized through 1H,13C NMR, mass spectrometry, and infrared spectroscopy techniques.

description: We explore the tunability of the phonon polarization in suspended uniaxially strained graphene by magneto-phonon resonances. The uniaxial strain lifts the degeneracy of the LO and TO phonons, yielding two cross-linearly polarized phonon modes and a splitting of the Raman G peak. We utilize the strong electron-phonon coupling in graphene and the off-resonant coupling to a magneto-phonon resonance to induce a gate-tunable circular phonon dichroism. This, together with the strain-induced splitting of the G peak, allows us to controllably tune the two linearly polarized G mode phonons into circular phonon modes. We are able to achieve a circular phonon polarization of up to 40 % purely by electrostatic fields and can reverse its sign by tuning from electron to hole doping. This provides unprecedented electrostatic control over the angular momentum of phonons, which paves the way toward phononic applications.

description: The inversion formula for conservative multifractal measures was unveiled mathematically a decade ago, which is however not well tested in real complex systems. In this Letter, we propose to verify the inversion formula using high-frequency turbulent financial data. We construct conservative volatility measure based on minutely S&P 500 index from 1982 to 1999 and its inverse measure of exit time. Both the direct and inverse measures exhibit nice multifractal nature, whose scaling ranges are not irrelevant. Empirical investigation shows that the inversion formula holds in financial markets.

description: Microwave induced resistance oscillations (MIROs) were studied experimentally over a very wide range of frequencies ranging from ~20 GHz up to ~4 THz, and from the quasi-classical regime to the quantum Hall effect regime. At low frequencies regular MIROs were observed, with a periodicity determined by the ratio of the microwave to cyclotron frequencies. For frequencies below 150 GHz the magnetic field dependence of MIROs waveform is well described by a simplified version of an existing theoretical model, where the damping is controlled by the width of the Landau levels. In the THz frequency range MIROs vanish and only pronounced resistance changes are observed at the cyclotron resonance. The evolution of MIROs with frequency are presented and discussed.

description: A new series of azo dyes of the naturally occurring phenol i.e., eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) was produced by the conventional method. For the synthesis of azo compounds, diazonium salts were coupled with eugenol. Six substituted aryl-azo-eugenol derivatives (EU (a) to EU (f)) were synthesized and confirmed their structures with 1H NMR,13C NMR, FT-IR and Mass spectroscopy. All newly synthesized azo dyes of eugenol were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against S. aureus, S. pyogenus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa strains and in vitro antifungal activity against C. albicans, A. niger and A. clavatus strains by using micro broth dilution method. The results indicate that the synthesized azo dyes of eugenol display variable inhibitory effects on the growth of bacterial and fungal strains. Further, all compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activity against human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-241, the compound EU(d) displays excellent anticancer activity.
