description: By means of micromagnetic spin dynamics calculations, a quantitative calculation is carried out to explore the mechanism of exchange bias (EB) in ferromagnetic (FM)/compensated antiferromagnetic (AFM) bilayers. The antiferromagnets with low and high Neel temperatures have been both considered, and the crossover from negative to positive EB is found only in the case with low Neel temperature. We propose that the mechanism of EB in FM/compensated AFM bilayers is due to the symmetry broken of AFM that yields some net ferromagnetic components.

description: We present a document-grounded matching network (DGMN) for response selection that can power a knowledge-aware retrieval-based chatbot system. The challenges of building such a model lie in how to ground conversation contexts with background documents and how to recognize important information in the documents for matching. To overcome the challenges, DGMN fuses information in a document and a context into representations of each other, and dynamically determines if grounding is necessary and importance of different parts of the document and the context through hierarchical interaction with a response at the matching step. Empirical studies on two public data sets indicate that DGMN can significantly improve upon state-of-the-art methods and at the same time enjoys good interpretability.

description: This contribution deals with identification of fractional-order dynamical systems. We consider systems whose mathematical description is a three-member differential equation in which the orders of derivatives can be real numbers. We give a discretization method and a numerical solution of differential equations of this type. An experimental method of identification is given which is based on evaluation of transfer characteristics. This is a combination of the method of derivatives of transfer characteristics and of the method of passive search. The verification was performed on systems with known parameters and also on a laboratory object.

description: Gender dynamics shape and influence the nature of participation in, as well as the ability to benefit from, seed and ware potato markets in Malawi. 35 sex-disaggregated focus group discussions with farmers and 4 interviews with extension officers were conducted in Dedza and Ntcheu districts. Data on seed marketing and purchase, ware potato marketing, affordability, marketing decisions, and clients, as well as social norms and values that influence market participation by men and women were collected and analyzed using the Real Markets Approach focusing on social relations within markets. Results demonstrate that agricultural market interventions that do not address underlying social structures—such as those related to gender relations and access to key resources—will benefit one group of people over another; in this case men over women.

description: The muon g-2 experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory measures the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_μ$, very precisely. This measurement tests the Standard Model. The analysis for the data collected in 2000 (a $μ^+$ run) is completed and the accuracy on $a_μ$ is improved to 0.7 ppm, including statistical and systematic errors. The data analysis was performed blindly between the precession frequency and the field analysis groups in order to prevent a possible bias in the $a_μ$ result. The result is $a_μ({\rm exp}) = 11~659~204(7)(5) \times 10^{-10}$ (0.7 ppm). This paper features a detailed description of one of the four analyses and an update of the theory.

Pseudo Newtonian Potential For a Rotating Kerr Black Hole Embedded in Quintessence

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Pseudo-Newtonian Potential has always been a useful tool to discuss the motion of a particle in space-time to avoid the tedious and nearly impossible nonlinear computations coming from the field equations of general relativity. Mukhopadhyay, in 2002, has introduced such a pseudo-Newtonian potential for rotating Kerr black hole which is efficient enough to replicate the scenario of the classical mechanics. But there was no such model to explain the dark energy realm. In 2016 S Ghosh introduced a Lagrangian for such rotating black hole embedded in quintessence. in this article we obtained a pseudo-Newtonian force for this new black hole solution embedded quintessence. This paper introduces a simple computational scheme to evaluate a pseudo-Newtonian force for any space-time metric. This model possesses at most $4.95 \%$ error corresponding to general relativistic results. Since we took a popular agent of dark energy, i.e., quintessence into account, this is a general form of pseudo-Newtonian force to explain late time accelerating universe. In this paper, it also has been discussed about the difference between the pseudo-Newtonian force with and without dark energy effect. This paper also explains the natures of our present universe and its fate(locally around a black hole when repulsive negative pressure of dark energy is taken into account).

A8-3 Model Rocket Impulse Measurement
Creators: name: Haw, Magnus
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: An experiment was performed to measure the impulse of the A8-3 Estes model rocket engine. The measurements were obtained by mounting an engine vertically onto a frame and measuring the changing weight of the assembly during the firing period for six trials. Thrust was calculated by the difference in measured weight from the rest weight while accounting for the mass loss rate. The impulse of each of the six thrust curves was averaged to find the final impulse measurement: 2.36 (+/-) .16 N-s. Estimates of the average thrust and exhaust velocity were also calculated from the impulse measurement.

description: This paper provides an overview of the state of gender inclusion in national policies related to climate change in seven target countries of the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) in Latin America. A rubric for evaluating policies’ levels of gender integration was developed based on guidelines and methods for gender inclusion. Preliminary findings suggest that gender-sensitive consultation processes and increased efforts at cross-sectoral coordination can lead to successful gender integration in climate change planning.

description: These highly informal lecture notes aim at introducing and explaining several closely related problems on zeros of analytic functions defined by ordinary differential equations and systems of such equations. The main incentive for this study was its potential application to the tangential Hilbert 16th problem on zeros of complete Abelian integrals. The exposition consists mostly of examples illustrating various phenomena related to this problem. Sometimes these examples give an insight concerning the proofs, though the complete exposition of the latter is mostly relegated to separate expositions.

Hadron energy estimation from Atmospheric neutrino events

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ICAL at INO is designed to mainly observe the muons produced in the charged current interactions of atmospheric muon neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. The track of the muon is reconstructed using the hits they produce in the detector. From this track, the charge, the energy and the direction of the muon are estimated, which are used to do oscillation physics analysis. In a large fraction of events, a number of hadrons are also produced in addition to the muons. The charged hadrons also leave hits in the detector which can be utilized to estimate the hadron energy. In this work, we study the relation between hadron hits, defined to be the difference between the total number of hits and the muon track hits, and the hadron energy. We find that a non-negligible number of baryons are produced in atmospheric neutrino interactions. For E(had) < 5 GeV, almost all the hadron energy is carried by these baryons. Finally, we formulate a procedure by which the hadron energy can be estimated from the number of hadron hits.

description: Using plot level data, this study examines the differential fertilizer application rates on plots managed individually by men, women, or jointly in dual adult households in three districts in south-central Mozambique. The results suggest that—controlling for the demographics of the manager and plot characteristics—joint management of agricultural plots is associated with higher fertilizer application rates on maize plots but with lower fertilizer application on non-food cash plots. Absent equitable sharing of proceeds from jointly managed plots, efforts to increase access to inputs by women may need to be targeted at plots already managed by women themselves. In land-scarce environments where women are less likely to have parcels to cultivate autonomously, these results suggest that improving women’s bargaining power under joint management of agricultural activities may be one way to improve gender equality in agriculture.

description: Physicochemical variables of aquatic environments are the main factors that influence aquatic organism distributions. In the present study, we aimed to assess the relationship between environmental variables and dytiscid assemblages in different aquatic basins of Mongolia. In total, 4193 diving beetle specimens of 66 species belonging to 15 genera were collected from 146 sites under various environmental and ecological conditions. Clear differences were observed in species richness and community composition among surveyed basins, subbasins, and habitat types. Environmental variables, particularly altitude and dissolved oxygen, exerted a strong influence on dytiscid communities in subbasins of the country. This large-scale study is the first to examine the relationship between dytiscids and their natural habitats in Mongolia at a species level, and it provides useful baseline information for future studies that aim to understand the factors that affect dytiscid communities.

description: The electricity forecasting problem is among the prominent issues for policymakers to ensure a reliable and stable electricity supply. Although many studies have been executing effectively to predict China's electricity consumption and production, the results of diverse models are confusing and contradicting because they can hardly identify seasonal fluctuations and provide robust forecasts based on different sample volumes. This work focuses on using a new electricity forecasting tool to present precise results to overcome such shortcomings. Initially, a seasonal discrete grey model is designed based on the characteristics of China's electricity consumption and production. Besides, the rolling mechanism is introduced to improve forecasting accuracy further when performing the verification experiments. Secondly, the DM, SPA, and MCS tests and level accuracy is implemented to measure each competing model's forecasting performance efficiently. Lastly, this new model's robustness over different sample sizes is validated by conducting numerous experiments with diverse sample volumes. Empirical results demonstrate that the technique is convincingly an accurate, robust, and applicable method for China's electricity consumption and production forecasting, outperforming any other prevalent forecasting model.

description: Recent analyses of Gaia data have provided direct evidence that most young stellar clusters are in a state of expansion, with velocities of the order of ~0.5 km/s. Traditionally, expanding young clusters have been pictured as entities that became unbound due to the lack of gravitational binding once the gas from the parental cloud that formed the cluster has been expelled by the stellar radiation of the massive stars in the cluster. In the present contribution, we used radiation-magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations of molecular cloud formation and evolution to understand how stellar clusters form and disperse. We found that the ionising feedback from the newborn massive stars expels the gas from the collapse centre, flipping-up the gravitational potential as a consequence of the mass removal from the inside-out. Since neither the parental clouds nor the formed shells are distributed symmetrically around the HII region, net forces pulling out the stars are present, accelerating them towards the edges of the cavity. We call this mechanism ``gravitational feedback", in which the gravity from the expelled gas appears to be the crucial mechanism producing unbound clusters that expand away from their formation centre in an accelerated way in young stellar clusters. This mechanism naturally explains the "Hubble flow-like" expansion observed in several young clusters.

 Material examined. 1 male (sl 8.7 mm) (ZRC 2014.0337), PANGLAO 2004, PN1, Balicasag Island, coll. local fisherman, 29 April 2004, tangle nets.
 Distribution. Previously known from Japan, Taiwan, and East China Sea, at depths of 5– 190 m. Firstly recorded from the Philippines.
 Remarks. The present specimen agrees well with the redescription of P. conformis by Komai (2004) except for the lack of a ventral median foramen of the carpus of the right cheliped. Komai (2004) believed that the presence of the foramen is diagnostic for P. conformis, but the present specimen shows that the character is possibly variable in this species. Similar variation in the presence or absence of the ventral foramen on the carpus of the right cheliped has been reported in P. cavicarpus (cf. McLaughlin & Forest, 1999).

description: We study quantum Markov chains on graphs, described by completely positive maps, following the model due to S. Gudder (J. Math. Phys. 49, 072105, 2008) and which includes the dynamics given by open quantum random walks as defined by S. Attal et al. (J. Stat. Phys. 147:832-852, 2012). After reviewing such structures we examine a quantum notion of mean time of first visit to a chosen vertex. However, instead of making direct use of the definition as it is usually done, we focus on expressions for such quantity in terms of generalized inverses associated with the walk and most particularly the so-called fundamental matrix. Such objects are in close analogy with the theory of Markov chains and the methods described here allow us to calculate examples that illustrate similarities and differences between the quantum and classical settings.

description: The $B^0\bar{B^0}$ oscillation frequency $Δm_d$ has been measured with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric $B$ factory with different experimental techniques. The discussion here is focused on the recent simultaneous measurement of $Δm_d$ and $τ_{B^0}$ with exclusively reconstructed $B^0 \to D^{*-}l^+ν_l$ decays, based on 23 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected by BaBar. The measurements of $Δm_d$ with fully reconstructed hadronic decays and with dilepton events are also reviewed. The average BaBar result is $Δm_d = 0.500 \pm 0.008 \pm 0.006$ $ps^{-1}$.

Two interconnected rubber balloons as a demonstration showing the effect of surface tension
Creators: name: Chen, Chieh-Shan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The two interconnected rubber balloons system is a demonstration widely used to show the effect of surface tension; however, the nature of the rubber skin, sizes of the balloons limit the ability of this demonstration. In this research, I measured the circumference and pressure of balloons for the calculation of surface tension. It was found that the demonstration can be done between circumferences of 30 cm to 50 cm for the party balloons to show the effect of surface tension as explained by the Laplace-Young equation.

description: There is growing consensus among both practitioners and the academic community that the cooperative business model is a form of institution that meets most of the dimensions of poverty, providing opportunities, facilitating empowerment, and enhancing security. But what is the basis for the claim that the cooperative model has a potential to reduce poverty? This paper presents a literature review of empirical research on cooperatives’ potential to reduce poverty and finds substantial evidence to support this claim. Four different perspectives on this proposition are identified, all agreeing to this claim but emphasizing further the need to respect cooperative principles and values.

description: Mode-division multiplexing (MDM) is an emerging large-capacity data communication technology utilizing orthogonal guiding modes as independent data streams. One of the challenges of multimode waveguide routing in MDM systems is decreasing the mode leakage of waveguide crossings. In this article, a square Maxwell's fish-eye lens as waveguide crossing medium based on quasi-conformal transformation optics is designed and implemented on the silicon-on-insulator platform. Two approaches were taken to realize the designed lens: graded photonic crystal and varying the thickness of Si slab waveguide. Three-dimensional numerical simulations show that the designed multimode waveguide crossing has an ultrawide bandwidth from 1260 to 1675 nm with a compact footprint of only $3.77 \times 3.77 μm^2$. For the first three transverse electric modes $(TE_0, TE_1, \: and \: TE_2)$, the designed waveguide crossing exhibits an average insertion loss of 0.24, 0.55, and 0.45 dB and the crosstalk of less than -72, -61, and -27 dB, and a maximum return loss of 54, 53, and 30 dB, respectively. The designed waveguide crossing supports low distortion pulse transmission with a high fidelity factor of 0.9857. Furthermore, proposed method can be expanded to design waveguide crossings with even higher number of supporting modes by increasing the size of the lens.

description: Ponds are increasingly recognized as significant sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted to the atmosphere. Concomitant with increasing urbanization, more urban ponds are created, many with the aim of buffering peak runoff and improving water quality in downstream waterbodies. However, the impact of urban ponds on GHG emissions is poorly elucidated. In this study, we measured the dissolved concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) 4 times over a year in 37 ponds located in the city of Silkeborg, Denmark. The results show that the ponds generally acted as a source of GHG with CO2-C concentrations (standard deviation) of 1938 (2208) µg L−1, CH4-C of 44 (198) µg L−1, and N2O-N of 0.8 (1.8) µg L−1. Boosted regression tree models show that vegetation cover, water temperature, and nitrate concentration were the main drivers of CO2, CH4, and N2O concentrations, respectively. Upscaling of the results to the Danish national level showed that urban ponds emit about 38 × 109 g CO2-equivalents per year, suggesting that urban ponds are significant sources of GHG in urban landscapes.

description: The blockchain technology promises to transform finance, money and even governments. However, analyses of blockchain applicability and robustness typically focus on isolated systems whose actors contribute mainly by running the consensus algorithm. Here, we highlight the importance of considering trustless platforms within the broader ecosystem that includes social and communication networks. As an example, we analyse the flash-crash observed on 21st June 2017 in the Ethereum platform and show that a major phenomenon of social coordination led to a catastrophic cascade of events across several interconnected systems. We propose the concept of ``emergent centralisation'' to describe situations where a single system becomes critically important for the functioning of the whole ecosystem, and argue that such situations are likely to become more and more frequent in interconnected socio-technical systems. We anticipate that the systemic approach we propose will have implications for future assessments of trustless systems and call for the attention of policy-makers on the fragility of our interconnected and rapidly changing world.

description: China’s new cooperatives law took effect in 2007 and resulted in rapid growth in the number of agricultural cooperatives in China. This raises questions about appropriate strategies for growth such as whether or not cooperatives experience economies of scale as they grow. This study examines economies of scale in farmer cooperatives in Shanxi Province; the province that had the fastest growth in the number of agricultural cooperatives in China during 2008-2010. The results indicate that all cooperatives in the sample grew rapidly in their number of members and value of assets between 2008 and 2010. Large cooperatives are found to have an advantage over small cooperatives in terms of economies of scale. The results indicate that when a strategy couples growth with specialization it tends to improve the competitive position of these cooperatives.
