description: The Best Management Practices (BMP) for minimizing losses due to tannery pollution were identified through the linear programming technique along with extensions of averting expenditure for crops and allied activities of dairy and poultry. The constraints specified in the model included minimum land constraints for paddy and fodder crops. In seriously affected farms, the BMP suggested practices were either raising of paddy I, fodder sorghum I, sorghum II and maize II along with 50 per cent increased application of averting inputs from the present level or raising of paddy I, fodder sorghum I and maize I along with dairy activity. The BMP suggested practices for moderately affected farms were raising of paddy I, fodder sorghum I, fodder maize I and either raising coconut or practicing dairy. The BMP suggested practices for low affected farms were raising of paddy I, fodder sorghum I, fodder maize I and either raising of sugarcane and coconut or practicing dairy activity. Thus the farmers could adopt combination of tolerant crops along with increased application of averting inputs and practice dairy activity based on the pollution level.

description: The study was conducted to know the profitability of dairy farming, milk consumption pattern and marketing system of the dairy owners. Net return of dairy milk in commercial region was significantly higher than other regions due to rear cross breed cows and feeding them high quality food. Net return from dairy enterprise was 69 per cent of the gross cost and this figure was highest in semi-urban region (75%). The positive values of marginal value products indicate that addition of dry fodder, capital investment and labour would add positive returns through milk production. The regression coefficients using Cobb-Douglas production functions of dry fodder, capital investment, labour involved and breed dummy were positive and significant. Average per capita daily milk consumption by the dairy owners of different income classes and different regions were significantly different. Milk consumption function was higher for the dairy owners in commercial villages and for higher income classes. Education level, farm size, income and milk yield of respondents had positive and significant impact on milk consumption. Significant production elasticity was observed in rural areas whereas significant income elasticity was observed only in riverside village. Dairy enterprise may contribute to economic development of the country by increasing income of dairy owners, number of crossbred cows and extent of commercial farming. Lack of adequate market facilities, poor market infrastructure and low price of milk were the major marketing problems of the dairy owners.

description: By a generalization of the Hopfield model, we construct a microscopic Lagrangian describing a dielectric medium with dispersion and dissipation. This facilitates a well-defined and unambiguous $\textit{ab initio}$ treatment of quantum electrodynamics in such media, even in time-dependent backgrounds. As an example, we calculate the number of photons created by switching on and off dissipation in dependence on the temporal switching function. This effect may be stronger than quantum radiation produced by variations of the refractive index $Δn(t)$ since the latter are typically very small and yield photon numbers of order $(Δn)^2$. As another difference, we find that the partner particles of the created medium photons are not other medium photons but excitations of the environment field causing the dissipation (which is switched on and off).

Our data eliminate from consideration mechanisms of deviation that posit strengths ~10^4 times Newtonian gravity at length scales of 20 microns. This measurement is 3 orders of magnitude more sensitive than others that provide constraints at similar length scales.

description: The study is based on NSS secondary data collected for the years 1977-78, 1987-88, 1993-94 and 1999-00. The study showed that in rural areas the major portion of expenditure was spent on total food items which decreased from 65.66 per cent in 1977-78 to 56.00 per cent in 199900. Cereals dominated the food expenditure followed by milk & milk products. The nonvegetarian food items were given the least priority over the years. The results for urban areas for all the NSS rounds under investigation indicated that the expenditure on food items was highest and cereals accounted for the largest share. However, the expenditure on food items dropped from 57.97 per cent in 1977-78 to 31.92 per cent in 1999-00. The expenditure on milk & milk products showed a decreasing trend over the years under study. The percentage expenditure on cereals was higher in rural areas. Reverse trend was observed for fruits and nuts. Within non-food items, consumers gave first priority to miscellaneous goods & services followed by clothing, fuel & light and durable goods in both the areas. The findings depicted that the expenditure on non-food items was higher in urban areas. The expenditure on education was 2.84 per cent and 4.11 per cent in rural and urban areas respectively during 1999-00. The percentage change in expenditure in urban areas was higher as compared with rural areas over the same period. The expenditure in urban households in 1977-78 was 59 per cent higher over their rural counterparts which rose to 65 per cent in 1987-88, 113 per cent in 1993-94 and 158 per cent in 1999-00 thereby indicating that the gap between rural and the urban households increased over time. The study, thus, suggests that to increase expenditure (income) in the rural sector there is need to improve farm productivity through better infra-structural facilities in terms of input availability, marketing facilities etc. which will vary significantly due to diverse agro-climatic conditions; improvement in the non- farm sector; higher emphasis on technical education etc.

description: We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of all-optical switching by single femtosecond laser pulses. Our experimental results demonstrate that, unlike rare earth-transition metal ferrimagnetic alloys, Pt/Co/[Ni/Co]$_N$/Gd can be switched in the absence of a magnetization compensation temperature, indicative for strikingly different switching conditions. In order to understand the underlying mechanism, we model the laser-induced magnetization dynamics in Co/Gd bilayers and GdCo alloys on an equal footing, using an extension of the microscopic three-temperature model to multiple magnetic sublattices and including exchange scattering. In agreement with our experimental observations, the model shows that Co/Gd bilayers can be switched for an arbitrary thickness of the Co layer, i.e, even far away from compensating the total Co and Gd magnetic moment. We identify the switching mechanism in Co/Gd bilayers as a front of reversed Co magnetization that nucleates at the Co/Gd interface and propagates through the Co layer driven by exchange scattering.

The cause of extremely long-lasting room-temperature persistent photoconductivity in SrTiO$_3$ and related materials

description: It has been recently revealed that strontium titanate (SrTiO$_3$) displays persistent photoconductivity with unique characteristics: it occurs at room temperature and lasts over a very long period of time. Illumination of SrTiO$_3$ crystals at room temperature with sub-bandgap light reduces the electrical resistance by three orders of magnitude and persists for weeks or longer (Tarun ${\it et\: al.}$, Phys. Rev. Lett. ${\bf 111}$, 187403 (2013)). Experiments indicate that oxygen vacancy and hydrogen play important roles, yet the microscopic mechanism responsible for this remarkable effect has remained unidentified. Using hybrid density functional theory calculations we show that an instability associated with substitutional hydrogen H$_{\rm O}^+$ under illumination, which becomes doubly ionized and leaves the oxygen site, can explain the experimental observations. H$_{\rm O}$ then turns into an interstitial hydrogen and an oxygen vacancy, leading to excess carriers in the conduction band. This phenomenon is not exclusive to SrTiO$_3$, but it is also predicted to occur in other oxides. Interestingly, this phenomenon represents an elegant way of proving the existence of hydrogen substituting on an oxygen site (H$_{\rm O}$), forming an interesting, and rarely observed, type of three-center two-electron bond.

description: There is growing evidence that a wide range of insect sex pheromones are condition dependent and play a fundamental role in mate choice. However, the effectiveness of pheromonal communication might not only depend on internal factors of the sender, but also on attributes of the microhabitat, in which the signaler chooses to emit its chemical signal. For example, the degree of anthropogenic land use might affect how successful the signal is transmitted, as land use has been shown to affect animal communities and the complexity of biotic interactions. To test the hypothesis that parameters of the microenvironment determine males’ ability to attract females via their sex pheromone, we used the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides Herbst (Coleoptera: Silphidae) as our model system. We exposed 144 males across differently managed forest stands and analyzed the impact of 29 environmental parameters. Our data revealed that human land use intensity had no effect on a male’s attractiveness. However, the harvested tree biomass positively affected the proportion of competitors attracted. Furthermore, we found that soil characteristics were important factors determining the amount and body size of females a male was able to attract. Consequently, we present evidence that the environmental context of a signaling male influences the effectiveness of chemical signaling either because it affects the transmission process or the prevailing abundance of potential signal receivers. Thus, our results demonstrate that males need to make careful decisions about the location where they emit their pheromone, as this choice of microhabitat has an impact on their fitness.

More specifically, the proposed fully three-dimensional approach allows to derive the light-intensity distributions around the emitting structures and their modifications in the presence of nearby scattering objects. Our analysis allows to better identify the non-trivial relationship between near-field images and fluorescent objects.

description: This paper deals with the explicit design of strategy formulations to make the best strategic choices from a conventional matrix form of representing strategic choices. The explicit strategy formulation is an analytical model which is targeted to provide a mathematical strategy framework to find the best moment for strategy shifting to prepare rapid market changes. This theoretical model could be adapted into practically any strategic decision making situation when a strategic formulation is described as a matrix form with quantitative measured decision parameters. Analytically tractable results are obtained by using the fluctuation theory and these results are capable to predict the best moments of changing strategies in a matrix form. This research helps strategy decision makers who want to find the optimal moments of shifting present strategies.

The relationship between the X-ray variability and the central black hole mass

description: We assembled a sample of Seyfert 1 galaxies, QSOs and Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (LLAGNs) observed by ASCA, whose central black hole masses have been measured. We found that the X-ray variability (which is quantified by the ``excess variance'' sigma^2_{rms}) is significantly anti-correlated with the central black hole mass, and there likely exists a linear relationship sigma^2_{rms}\propto M^{-1}_{bh}. This can be interpreted that the short time-scale X-ray variability is caused by some global coherent variations in the X-ray emission region which is scaled by the size of the central black hole. Hence, the central black hole mass is the driving parameter of the previously established relation between X-ray variability and luminosity. This findings favor the hypothesis that the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies and QSOs harbor smaller black holes than the broad line objects, and can also easily explain the observational fact that high redshift QSOs have greater variability than local AGNs at a given luminosity. Further investigations are needed to confirm our findings, and a large sample X-ray variability investigation can give constraints on the physical mechanism and evolution of AGNs.

description: We present an approach to identify topological order based on unbiased infinite projected entangled-pair states (iPEPS) simulations, i.e. where we do not impose a virtual symmetry on the tensors during the optimization of the tensor network ansatz. As an example we consider the ground state of the toric code model in a magnetic field exhibiting $Z_2$ topological order. The optimization is done by an efficient energy minimization approach based on a summation of tensor environments to compute the gradient. We show that the optimized tensors, when brought into the right gauge, are approximately $Z_2$ symmetric, and they can be fully symmetrized a posteriori to generate a stable topologically ordered state, yielding the correct topological entanglement entropy and modular S and U matrices. To compute the latter we develop a variant of the corner-transfer matrix method which is computationally more efficient than previous approaches based on the tensor renormalization group.

description: In 1923 Schur considered the following problem. Let f(X) be a polynomial with integer coefficients that induces a bijection on the residue fields Z/pZ for infinitely many primes p. His conjecture, that such polynomials are compositions of linear and Dickson polynomials, was proved by M. Fried in 1970. Here we investigate the analogous question for rational functions, also we allow the base field to be any number field. As a result, there are many more rational functions for which the analogous property holds. Some infinite series come from rational isogenies of elliptic curves and deformations. There are several sporadic examples which do not fit in any of the series we obtain. First we translate the arithmetic property to a question about finite permutation groups, and classify those groups which fulfill the necessary conditions. The proofs depend on the classification of the finite simple groups. Then we use arithmetic arguments to either rule out many cases, or to prove that the remaining cases indeed give rise to examples. This part is based on Mazur's classical results about rational points on the modular curves X_0(p) and X_1(p), results about Galois images in GL_2(p) coming from action of the absolute Galois group of Q on p-torsion points of elliptic curves, the theory of complex multiplication, and the techniques used in the inverse regular Galois problem.

description: We discuss how current and future data on the clustering and number density of z~3 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) can be used to constrain their relationship to dark matter haloes. We explore a three-parameter model in which the number of LBGs per dark halo scales like a power-law in the halo mass: N(M) = (M/M_1)^S for M>M_m. Here, M_m is the minimum mass halo that can host an LBG, M_1 is a normalization parameter, associated with the mass above which haloes host more than one observed LBG, and S determines the strength of the mass dependence. We show how these three parameters are constrained by three observable properties of LBGs: the number density, the large-scale bias, and the fraction of objects in close pairs. Given these three quantities, the three unknown model parameters may be estimated analytically, allowing a full exploration of parameter space. As an example, we assume an LCDM cosmology and consider the observed properties of a recent sample of spectroscopically confirmed LBGs. We find that the favored range for our model parameters is M_m = (0.4-8)x10^10 Msun/h, M_1 = (6-10)x10^12 Msun/h, and 0.9 < S < 1.1. The preferred region in M_m expands by an order of magnitude and slightly shallower slopes are acceptable if the allowed range of bias is permitted to span all recent observational estimates. We also discuss how the observed clustering of LBGs as a function of luminosity can be used to constrain halo occupation, although due to current observational uncertainties we are unable to reach any strong conclusions. Our methods and results can be used to constrain more realistic models that aim to derive the occupation function N(M) from first principles, and offer insight into how basic physical properties affect the observed properties of LBGs.

description: The disordered arrangement and thereof inferior conductivity of 2D MOF sheets seriously hinder their practical application. Herein, we propose in situ transformation strategy to architect vertically oriented bimetallic CuNi-MOF as a self-supporting electrode, leading to a decuple high specific capacitance of 1262 C g-1 in comparison with the pristine Ni-MOF powder of 114 C g-1 at 2 A g-1. DFT calculations reveal that introduction of Cu can modulate the electronic structure of metal centers in the Ni-MOF sheets and optimize electrical conductivity. Our strategy is promising to maximize the utilization of MOF superiorities for optimizing their electrochemical performance. We provide an in situ transformation strategy for synthesizing high-activity oriented bimetallic MOFs derived from vertically oriented Cu(OH)2 nanowires, with which an order of magnitude of performance-improved electrodes were produced for pseudocapacitance.

description: While semisimple artinian rings and semisimple coalgebras over a field can be described in terms of matrices (either matrix ring over division rings or comatrix coalgebras over the ground field), semisimple corings seem to have a more intrincated structure in general. It turns out that some well-known properties of semisimple rings or coalgebras, which are immediately deduced from the aforementioned structure, are not evident over a (left) semi-simple coring. For instance, it is not evident that the notion of semi-simple coring is left-right symmetric. To be precise, if every left comodule decomposes a a direct sum of simple comodules, do the right comodules have such a decomposition? In other words, is every left semi-simple coring a right semi-simple coring? We develope the basic essentials for a theory of semi-simple corings, giving a positive answer for the last question, as well as some information about the structure of semi-simple corings.

description: The nonlinear dynamics of axisymmetric, as well as helical, frozen-in vortex structures is investigated by the Hamiltonian method in the framework of ideal incompressible electron magnetohydrodynamics. For description of current-sheet formation from a smooth initial magnetic field, local and nonlocal nonlinear approximations are introduced and partially analyzed that are generalizations of the previously known exactly solvable local model neglecting electron inertia. Finally, estimations are made that predict finite-time singularity formation for a class of hydrodynamic models intermediate between that local model and the Eulerian hydrodynamics.

description: An important strategy of commodity trading firms is geographical diversification and vertical integration, often justified with the need for multiple origins. This strategy can be interpreted as a ‘switching option’. Strategic options have become increasingly apparent and important, but, tend to be undervalued using traditional valuation techniques. This paper develops a stochastic real options model to value networks of export elevators. It is applied to soybean trading for shipments from ports in the United States, Brazil and Ukraine. The paper estimates the option value of being able to switch origins in export trades. This value is determined by the distributions of margins and their correlations in a switching option algorithm. The results are roughly comparable to observed recent trade values of representative assets.
Efficient verification of quantum gates with local operations

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Efficient verification of the functioning of quantum devices is a key to the development of quantum technologies, but is a daunting task as the system size increases. Here we propose a simple and general framework for verifying unitary transformations that can be applied to both individual quantum gates and gate sets, including quantum circuits. This framework enables efficient verification of many important unitary transformations, including but not limited to all bipartite unitaries, Clifford unitaries, generalized controlled-$Z$ gates, generalized controlled-NOT gates, the controlled-SWAP gate, and permutation transformations. For all these unitaries, the sample complexity increases at most linearly with the system size and is often independent of the system size. Moreover, little overhead is incurred even if one can only prepare Pauli eigenstates and perform local measurements. Our approach is applicable in many scenarios in which randomized benchmarking (RB) does not apply and is thus instrumental to quantum computation and many other applications in quantum information processing.

title: Curating knowledge: international relations expertise and the end of the Cold War in East Germany
Creators: name: Bertrand, Sarah
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2020

description: Post-1945 stability has confused us about the status of expert knowledge in studying world politics: we think that our studies about war, peace and international security are above events, and in command of them. But attention to past moments of crisis and transformation reveals a complex relation between the two. It shows that expert knowledge about world politics is transformed by events, commanded by them at least as much as it is in command of them. The end of the Cold War is one such moment of crisis and transformation. How did the ideological victory of the West impact the possibilities and impossibilities of thinking and knowing the international? How did the major geopolitical shifts of the time reshape what is considered ‘truth’, ‘science’ or ‘knowledge’ in international relations, and what is considered ‘political’, ‘ideological’ or ‘biased’? Academics, experts and intellectuals are the visible social carriers of these questions, and their fate is the symbol of the shifting limits of speech and thought’s acceptability. Drawing on interviews and archival research, this PhD thesis focuses on the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) and examines the making and breaking of its international relations experts during and after the Cold War. It shows how states make experts and what happens to meaning-making elites once they no longer fit with new political structures: How did the GDR produce international relations academics, scholars and intellectuals, and what role did they play within the global Cold War confrontation? What happened to those same experts once the Cold War ended and the GDR went through both a democratic revolution and a (re)unification with West Germany? Tracing in particular the various mechanisms at play in the post-89 marginalization of the ‘fallen’ GDR experts, elites of a no-longer-existing order, the thesis aims at linking their individual fates to the wider geopolitical forces at play in shaping the possibilities and impossibilities of researching and knowing ‘the international’.

description: A method for measuring the degree of spin polarization of magnetic materials based on spin-dependent resonant tunneling is proposed. The device we consider is a ballistic double-barrier resonant structure consisting of a ferromagnetic layer embedded between two insulating barriers. A simple procedure, based on a detailed analysis of the differential conductance, allows to accurately determine the polarization of the ferromagnet. The spin-filtering character of such a system is furthermore addressed. We show that a 100% spin selectivity can be achieved under appropriate conditions. This approach is believed to be well suited for the investigation of diluted magnetic semiconductor heterostructures.
