description: We study the combined constraints on the compactification scale 1/R and the Higgs mass m_H in the standard model with one or two universal extra dimensions. Focusing on precision measurements and employing the Peskin-Takeuchi S and T parameters, we analyze the allowed region in the (m_H, 1/R) parameter space consistent with current experiments. For this purpose, we calculate complete one-loop KK mode contributions to S, T, and U, and also estimate the contributions from physics above the cutoff of the higher-dimensional standard model. A compactification scale 1/R as low as 250 GeV and significantly extended regions of m_H are found to be consistent with current precision data.

description: A supersolid is a counter-intuitive state of matter that combines the frictionless flow of a superfluid with the crystal-like periodic density modulation of a solid. Since the first prediction in the 1950s, experimental efforts to realize this state have focussed mainly on Helium, where supersolidity remains elusive. Recently, supersolidity has also been studied intensively in ultracold quantum gases, and some of its defining properties have been induced in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) and BECs coupled to two crossed optical cavities. However, the periodicity of the crystals in both systems is fixed to the wavelength of the applied periodic optical potentials. Recently, hallmark properties of a supersolid -- the periodic density modulation and simultaneous global phase coherence -- have been observed in arrays of dipolar quantum droplets, where the crystallization happens in a self-organized manner due to intrinsic interactions. In this letter, we prove the genuine supersolid nature of these droplet arrays by directly observing the low-energy Goldstone mode. The dynamics of this mode is reminiscent of the effect of second sound in other superfluid systems and features an out-ofphase oscillation of the crystal array and the superfluid density. This mode exists only due to the phase rigidity of the experimentally realized state, and therefore confirms the genuine superfluidity of the supersolid.

description: Agricultural Training Centres (ATCs) promote crop and livestock development by providing extension information to farmers and serving as models of improved crop and livestock husbandry practices. Although potato farmers in Nyandarua County were trained on potato production technologies, their average yield was ≤ 16 tonnes per hectare compared to the national potential of 30 tonnes. This study therefore sought to determine the effectiveness of ATCs’ curriculum in promoting farmers’ adoption of selected potato production technologies in Nyandarua County in Kenya. A survey design was used. Primary data was collected from 136 farmers trained at ATCs on potato production using interview schedules. The respondents were sampled through a five-stage technique. The data was analysed using T-test and ANOVA, then summarized into percentages. Study results showed that adoption of recommended potato production technologies produced high yields compared to traditional technologies. It was therefore concluded that ATCs’ curriculum was effective in promoting farmers’ adoption of potato seed selection, planting, crop protection and harvesting technologies. It is recommended that ATCs’ curriculum prioritise demonstrations that show the influence of clean seed, fertilizer application, timely harvesting and spacing on potato yields. Further, campaigns should be held to educate farmers on the importance of potato dehaulming to promote its adoption. In addition, farmer-based seed production programs should be started in the County aimed at ensuring ready availability of seed.

description: Existing hand detection methods usually follow the pipeline of multiple stages with high computation cost, i.e., feature extraction, region proposal, bounding box regression, and additional layers for rotated region detection. In this paper, we propose a new Scale Invariant Fully Convolutional Network (SIFCN) trained in an end-to-end fashion to detect hands efficiently. Specifically, we merge the feature maps from high to low layers in an iterative way, which handles different scales of hands better with less time overhead comparing to concatenating them simply. Moreover, we develop the Complementary Weighted Fusion (CWF) block to make full use of the distinctive features among multiple layers to achieve scale invariance. To deal with rotated hand detection, we present the rotation map to get rid of complex rotation and derotation layers. Besides, we design the multi-scale loss scheme to accelerate the training process significantly by adding supervision to the intermediate layers of the network. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, our algorithm shows comparable accuracy and runs a 4.23 times faster speed on the VIVA dataset and achieves better average precision on Oxford hand detection dataset at a speed of 62.5 fps.

description: We present first-principles calculations of the rate of energy exchanges between electrons and ions in nonequilibrium warm dense plasmas, liquid metals and hot solids, a fundamental property for which various models offer diverging predictions. To this end, a Kubo relation for the electron-ion coupling parameter is introduced, which includes self-consistently the quantum, thermal, non-linear and strong coupling effects that coexist in materials at the confluence of solids and plasmas. Most importantly, like other Kubo relations widely used for calculating electronic conductivities, the expression can be evaluated using quantum molecular dynamics simulations. Results are presented and compared to experimental and theoretical predictions for representative materials of various electronic complexity, including aluminum, copper, iron and nickel.

description: In view of the importance of the meat imports and the exports of meat in Iran, this study focuses on the status of the global market of meat imports the unit price test in these markets between the years 1961 and 2011 using the market cointegration approach. The results of this study are indicative of prices co-integration in the international market of meat as well as among such major importers as the US, Germany, Italy, Japan, France and Russia. However, the important point is that no price co-integration has been observed between the global prices of meat and the import price in Iran’s import market. Moreover, no law of one price has been established in Iran’s import market in the long term; and in this respect, these markets lack the appropriate efficiency.

Subjects: research intelligence

description: This poster describes the process of the development of a research intelligence tool to analyse rare disease research in the Netherlands through a partnership by NFU (Dutch Federation of University Medical Centers) and Elsevier. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first tool that can surface and organise scientific output on rare diseases using established annotation and natural language processing mechanisms. We focus on the track leading up to the development, including strategic motivation and user needs, the development of a proof-of-concept tool, upscaling the idea to a national collaboration project, the development of the final tool and a usability evaluation and subsequent fine-tuning. Special attention is devoted to open science aspects of this process and reflections on the partnership between academic institutions and a publishing company.

Determinants of Vertical and Horizontal Export Diversification: Evidences from Sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia

description: This paper analyzes the main determinants of vertical and horizontal export diversification based on a balanced panel data for 41 countries from SSA and East Asia over the period 1975-2004; using FGLS estimation methods with corrected heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation. The results reveal that education, health, and income per capita, population size, infrastructural development and openness are crucial factors to induce vertical as well as horizontal export diversification. FDI was found to be a key factor to speed-up vertical and horizontal export diversification in East Asia, but only for vertical diversification in SSA. The elasticity’s of human capital and FDI were much higher in East Asia than SSA. The intuition is that East Asian countries have devoted significant amount of investment on education, health, infrastructure and these in turn created a better conducive atmosphere for FDI inflow. The study also reveals domestic investment plays an important role to enhance vertical as well as horizontal export diversification for East Asia, while it only induces horizontal diversification for SSA. While ‘arable land’ resource has a positive and significant effect on vertical and horizontal diversification, ‘oil’ wealth was found to be negatively associated with export diversification. This implies that not all types of natural resource endowment have a ‘Dutch disease’ effect. While inflation, exchange rate, and foreign aid variables have a mixed effect on vertical and horizontal export diversification, political instability however has a strong adverse effect on export diversification; especially for SSA. The key lesson from East Asia to SSA is that investment on human capital and physical infrastructure through foreign investment as well as domestic capital formation are key ingredients, as are stable macro-economic and political environment, a stable and flexible exchange rate, and a fair and an open trading framework in order to accelerate vertical and horizontal export diversification and ultimately promote structural change on the economy. In line with this, SSA countries should follow a dual strategy of vertical and horizontal export diversification, mainly by supporting backward and forward linkages into higher value-added resource-based industries and gradually shift production and exports from customary products to more dynamic ones by developing competitive advantage in the world market.

description: The worldwide turndown in coffee revenue to the majority of resource poor primary producers has become a serious threat to sustainable development. There is however inadequate knowledge with respect to mechanisms used by resource poor coffee farmers to stave off situations of economic hardship. Using cross-sectional household survey data from southwest Ethiopia, the present study investigates whether or not farmers use forests to even out variability associated with risky coffee income. A zero-inflated negative binomial model was used to explain farmer frequency of firewood collection trips as a response to income shock and risk in coffee farming. The empirical results indicate that a rise in household forest extraction effort for firewood is strongly associated with shortfalls in current coffee income and with income uncertainties prevailing in the coffee sector. The study draws policy implication from the perspectives of development and environment.

description: The implementation and reliability of a quadratic diffusion Monte Carlo method for the study of ground-state properties of atoms are discussed. We show in the simple yet non-trivial calculation of the binding energy of the Li atom that the method presented is effectively second-order in the time step. The fulfilment of the expected quadratic behavior relies on some basic requirements of the trial wave function used for importance sampling, in the context of the fixed-node approximation. Expectation values of radial operators are calculated by means of a pure estimation based on the forward walking methodology. It is shown that accurate results without extrapolation errors can be obtained with a pure algorithm that can be easily implemented in any previous diffusion Monte Carlo program.

description: The increasing scarcity of biomass and the increment of the number of people who use biomass, particularly firewood, threaten the capability of the country even to maintain the already existing low income and living standard of the people. Therefore, the need for adopting improved “Mirt” stove technology not only enables the households to use fuel efficiently, but it will enable them to curb the problems caused by using traditional and open fire stoves as well as biomass energy related problems. It can also mitigate the impacts on the users’ health, the overall environment and natural resources brought by using those traditional and open fire stoves. With two estimated equations, that is information and adoption equation. This study result reveals that improvement in socio economic conditions of the people have positive impact on information acquisition and access in urban and rural households. Moreover, the result supports the “energy Ladder” hypothesis as theoretical and functional useful framework to explain the fuel use and improved technology adoption in the study area. The findings also reveal that socio-economic improvement have direct and significant impact on adoption decision. This finding also reinforces the role of government and non-government organizations to play a major role in information diffusion and to enhance the adoption decision of the people to protect the country’s natural resources and to resolve environmental problems that arise due to excessive utilization of biomass resources.

description: \item[Background] Multinucleon transfer reaction at low-energy collisions is considered to be a promising method for the production of new exotic nuclei, which are difficult to be produced by other methods. The theoretical studies are required to provide reliable predictions for the experiments and promote the understanding of the microscopic mechanism in multinucleon transfer reactions. \item[Purpose] We provide a predictive approach for production cross sections, and testify how and to what extent the microscopic approach works well in multinucleon transfer reaction. \item[Methods] We employ the approach TDHF+GEMINI, which combines the microscopic time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) with the state-of-art statistical model GEMINI++, to take into account both the multinucleon transfer dynamics and the secondary deexcitation process. The properties of primary products in multinucleon transfer process, such as transfer probabilities and primary cross sections, are extracted from TDHF dynamics by using the particle-number projection method. Production cross sections for secondary products are evaluated by using the statistical model GEMINI++. \item[Results] We investigate the influence of colliding energies and deformation orientations of target and projectile nuclei on multinucleon transfer dynamics in the reaction $^{58}$Ni+$^{124}$Sn...... \item[Conclusions] The microscopic approach TDHF+GEMINI reasonably reproduces the experimental data at energies close to the Coulomb barrier and well accounts for the multinucleon transfer mechanism. The present studies clearly reveal the applicability of TDHF+GEMINI method in multinucleon transfer reactions, which thus deserves as a promising tool to predict the properties of new reactions.

We define a noncommutative zeta function in an object related to the first Hochschild homology group of the Novikov ring associated to the 1-form and relate it to the torsion of a natural chain homotopy equivalence between the Novikov complex and a simplicial complex of the universal cover of M.

description: We discuss in this paper the phase diagram of a diblock polyampholyte solution in the limit of high ionic strength as a function of concentration and charge asymmetry. This system is shown to be very similar to solutions of so-called charged-neutral diblock copolymers: at zero charge asymmetry the solution phase separates into a polyelectrolyte complex and almost pure solvent. Above a charge asymmetry threshold, the copolymers are soluble as finite size aggregates. Scaling laws of the aggregates radius as a function of pH of the solution are in qualitative agreement with experiments.

description: Three-dimensional (3D) topological semimetals represent a new class of topological matters. The study of this family of materials has been at the frontiers of condensed matter physics, and many breakthroughs have been made. Several topological semimetal phases, including Dirac semimetals (DSMs), Weyl semimetals (WSMs), nodal-line semimetals (NLSMs), and triple-point semimetals, have been theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated. The low-energy excitation around the Dirac/Weyl nodal points, nodal line, or triply degenerated nodal point can be viewed as emergent relativistic fermions. Experimental studies have shown that relativistic fermions can result in a rich variety of exotic transport properties, e.g., extremely large magnetoresistance, the chiral anomaly, and the intrinsic anomalous Hall effect. In this review, we first briefly introduce band structural characteristics of each topological semimetal phase, then review the current studies on quantum oscillations and exotic transport properties of various topological semimetals, and finally provide a perspective of this area.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a closed corona cartesian reduced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model where photospheric vortices twist the coronal magnetic field lines. We consider two corotating or counter-rotating vortices localized at the center of the photospheric plate, and additionally more corotating vortices that fill the plate entirely. Our investigation is specifically devoted to study the fully nonlinear stage, after the linear stage during which the vortices create laminar and smoothly twisting flux tubes. Our main goal is to understand the dynamics of photospheric vortices twisting the field lines of a coronal magnetic field permeated by finite amplitude broadband fluctuations. We find that depending on the arrangement and handedness of the photospheric vortices an inverse cascade storing a significant amount of magnetic energy may occur or not. In the first case a reservoir of magnetic energy available to large events such as destabilization of a pre-CME configuration develops, while in the second case the outcome is a turbulent heated corona. Although our geometry is simplified our simulations are shown to have relevant implications for coronal dynamics and CME initiation.

Method of quantum characters in equivariant quantization

description: Let $G$ be a reductive Lie group, $\g$ its Lie algebra, and $M$ a $G$-manifold. Suppose $\A_h(M)$ is a $\U_h(\g)$-equivariant quantization of the function algebra $\A(M)$ on $M$. We develop a method of building $\U_h(\g)$-equivariant quantization on $G$-orbits in $M$ as quotients of $\A_h(M)$. We are concerned with those quantizations that may be simultaneously represented as subalgebras in $\U^*_h(\g)$ and quotients of $\A_h(M)$. It turns out that they are in one-to-one correspondence with characters of the algebra $\A_h(M)$. We specialize our approach to the situation $\g=gl(n,\C)$, $M=\End(\C^n)$, and $\A_h(M)$ the so-called reflection equation algebra associated with the representation of $\U_h(\g)$ on $\C^n$. For this particular case, we present in an explicit form all possible quantizations of this type; they cover symmetric and bisymmetric orbits. We build a two-parameter deformation family and obtain, as a limit case, the $\U(\g)$-equivariant quantization of the Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau bracket on symmetric orbits.

description: In this talk we assume SO(10) boundary conditions at the GUT scale, including unification for the third generation Yukawa couplings $λ_t = λ_b = λ_τ$. We find that this assumption is only consistent with the low energy data in a narrow region of soft SUSY breaking parameter space. We discuss the consequences of this result for Higgs and SUSY searches.

A Further Look into the Surface Cooling of Water
Creators: name: Zhang, Lucas

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: The cooling of water is a highly complex process involving a myriad of variables. The cooling rate of water can be described with the formula , where k is a constant of 𝑑𝑇 𝑑𝑡 = 𝑘(𝑇 𝑠 − 𝑇 𝑎 ) 𝑎 proportionality and a is some positive number . In this paper, a more intensive formula for the surface cooling of water from up to 100 degrees Celsius has been proposed. The proposed formula separates the evaporative component from the convective and radiative components of cooling into their own expressions. Cooling rate and mass loss rate data were collected in an indoor setting, where the surface temperature of water in a large beaker was tracked using a digital Bluetooth temperature probe, and the mass of the water was tracked with a digital scale. The convective and radiative cooling expression was empirically found and modeled, and the evaporative expression incorporates Knudsen’s equation for evaporative mass loss as well as the Clausius-Clapeyron formula for vapor pressure to model the rate of evaporative temperature change as a function of surface temperature. The final cooling rate formula unites the two expressions and was fitted with the experimental data. The proposed model has an improved qualitative fit with the experimental data compared to the original formula.

Slow relaxation experiments in disordered charge and spin density waves: collective dynamics of randomly distributed solitons

description: We show that the dynamics of disordered charge density waves (CDWs) and spin density waves (SDWs) is a collective phenomenon. The very low temperature specific heat relaxation experiments are characterized by: (i) ``interrupted'' ageing (meaning that there is a maximal relaxation time); and (ii) a broad power-law spectrum of relaxation times which is the signature of a collective phenomenon. We propose a random energy model that can reproduce these two observations and from which it is possible to obtain an estimate of the glass cross-over temperature (typically $T_g \simeq 100 - 200$ mK). The broad relaxation time spectrum can also be obtained from the solutions of two microscopic models involving randomly distributed solitons. The collective behavior is similar to domain growth dynamics in the presence of disorder and can be described by the dynamical renormalization group that was proposed recently for the one dimensional random field Ising model [D.S. Fisher, P. Le Doussal and C. Monthus, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 80}, 3539 (1998)]. The typical relaxation time scales like $τ^{\rm typ} \sim τ_0 \exp{(T_g/T)}$. The glass cross-over temperature $T_g$ related to correlations among solitons is equal to the average energy barrier and scales like $T_g \sim 2 x ξ_0 Δ$. $x$ is the concentration of defects, $ξ_0$ the correlation length of the CDW or SDW and $Δ$ the charge or spin gap.

description: We report first precision mass measurements of the $1/2^-$ isomeric and $9/2^+$ ground states of $^{101}$In. The determined isomeric excitation energy continues a smooth trend of odd-$A$ indium isotopes up to the immediate vicinity of $N=50$ magic number. This trend can be confirmed by dedicated shell model calculations only if the neutron configuration mixing is considered. We find that the single particle energies are different for different states of the same isotope. The presented configuration-dependent shell evolution, type II shell evolution, in odd-$A$ nuclei is discussed for the first time. Our results will facilitate future studies of single-particle neutron states.
