description: We report results for simulating an effective field theory to compute the binding energy of the deuteron nucleus using a hybrid algorithm on a trapped-ion quantum computer. Two increasingly complex unitary coupled-cluster ansaetze have been used to compute the binding energy to within a few percent for successively more complex Hamiltonians. By increasing the complexity of the Hamiltonian, allowing more terms in the effective field theory expansion and calculating their expectation values, we present a benchmark for quantum computers based on their ability to scalably calculate the effective field theory with increasing accuracy. Our result of $E_4=-2.220 \pm 0.179$MeV may be compared with the exact Deuteron ground-state energy $-2.224$MeV. We also demonstrate an error mitigation technique using Richardson extrapolation on ion traps for the first time. The error mitigation circuit represents a record for deepest quantum circuit on a trapped-ion quantum computer.

description: We present an experimental study on non-equilibrium dynamics of a spinor condensate after it is quenched across a superfluid to Mott insulator (MI) phase transition in cubic lattices. Intricate dynamics consisting of spin-mixing oscillations at multiple frequencies are observed in time evolutions of the spinor condensate localized in deep lattices after the quantum quench. Similar spin dynamics also appear after spinor gases in the MI phase are suddenly moved away from their ground states via quenching magnetic fields. We confirm these observed spectra of spin-mixing dynamics can be utilized to reveal atom number distributions of an inhomogeneous system, and to study transitions from two-body to many-body dynamics. Our data also imply the non-equilibrium dynamics depend weakly on the quench speed but strongly on the lattice potential. This enables precise measurements of the spin-dependent interaction, a key parameter determining the spinor physics.
The Evolution of Dominance Hierarchy in Cercopithecines: a meta-analysis and research proposal

subject: evolution

description: By assembling diverse factors that influence the group composition of cercopithecines, the socioecology of cercopithecines can be understood through the investigation of the relationship between group composition and members’ fitness output. In a favorable socioecological condition, if the number of receptive females that are capable of being monopolized by a single male increase, males would be favored to live in a group where it contains a smaller number of males and is less hierarchically stratified. On contrary, when the monopolization of mating opportunities is threatened by extra group copulation, the influx of adult male immigrants, and overthrown of alpha position, cooperation in antagonistic interaction among the senior resident males may be favored. The equations, hypotheses, and predictions in the present study provide a theoretical framework that suggests a double-facet function of dominance hierarchy: the queue and the solidarity. And the hypothesized two facets are supported by a strong positive correlation between age and dominance rank from a meta-analysis on studies of 11 macaque troops and an independent analysis on 5 baboons troops, and are detailed by the identification of the stratification of dominance rank in relation to the age and seniority of males. Taken together, the highest dominance rank tends to be achieved by macaques and baboons at their prime age (approximately 10 y), and males with a longer cohabitation (seniority) tend to occupy adjacent dominance ranks. A use of naturalistic observation and controlled experimentation in the future may specify whether the stratification of a dominance hierarchy in relation to seniority is likely resulted from male-male collation in antagonistic interaction, as predicted by the solidarity facet, and may deepen our understanding of the predictive power of dominance rank on males’ mating opportunity and reproductive output.

THE MODERATING EFFECT OF FRIENDSHIP ON THE LINK BETWEEN PEER VICTIMIZATION AND SCHOOL OUTCOMES IN 3RD GRADE CHILDREN

Subjects: Peer victimization

description: In the United States, research on peer victimization began in 1988 and has grown exponentially since then. However, there is still no set definition of, or consistent way to measure, peer victimization. Furthermore, most existing studies use a single informant approach, but a multiple informant approach may provide a better estimation of peer victimization as a construct. Previous research has established that peer victimization and academic performance are linked, but mediators and moderators of this relationship, particularly among elementary school children, have received less attention in the literature. The current study focuses on friendship as a moderator because friendships become more meaningful during middle childhood. Using a nationally representative sample of third-grade children, the first part of the study will examine the associations among child, teacher, and parent reports of peer victimization, in order to examine the extent to which the informants provide unique, nonshared information. The second part of the study will examine friendship as a moderator of the relationship between peer victimization and academic achievement. I expect to find small to moderate correlations between child, teacher, and parent reports. I also hypothesize that friendship will moderate the relationship between peer victimization and academic achievement. More specifically, the relationship between peer victimization and academic achievement will be weaker for children with high levels of friendship and stronger for children with low levels of friendship.

Multiplicities and their evolution with centrality are successfully reproduced. Transverse momentum distributions in the model show a larger $p_T$-tail than experimental data, disagreement which grows with increasing centrality. Discrepancies with particle ratios appear and are examined comparing with previous features of the model at SPS.

 Type species Metabacetus immarginatus Bates 1892:364
 Generic diagnosis.—A combination of characters is needed to recognize member taxa. Individuals are Abacetus -like as they have deeply impressed linear basolateral pronotal impressions; clearly defined frontal impression on the head; lack the angular base of stria 1 basal puncture at base of stria 2; abdominal sterna without transverse sulci; male protarsomeres symmetrically expanded; and male median lobe oriented to the left in repose. Additionally Metabacetus species have the second antenomere more or less centrically inserted in first; elytra without discal puncture on interval 3; mentum with epilobes distinct and as or more prominent than the median tooth and; metacoxal anterior sulcus sinuate. This set of characteristics separates Metabacetus from all other sympatric Abacetini and other pterostichine-grade taxa except for Tiferonia, Mateuellus and Cosmodiscus. Metabacetus species can be separated from Tiferonia by their much larger size (5.2–8.0 mm vs. 4.5 mm), and from Mateuellus by their fully developed eyes, which are reduced in the troglobitic Mateuellus. Metabacetus species are of a relatively elongate form, especially the head and mandibles and are much more elongate than the very compact, almost rounded shape seen in Cosmodiscus species.

description: Motivated by recent data on B-> p pbar K decay, we study various charmless three-body baryonic B decay modes, including Lambda pbar pi, Sigma0 pbar pi, p pbar pi, p pbar Kbar0, in a factorization approach. These modes have rates of order 10^{-6}. There are two mechanisms for the baryon pair production, current-produced and transition. The behavior of decay spectra from these baryon production mechanisms can be understood by using QCD counting rules. Predictions on rates and decay spectra can be checked in the near future.

description: Since a variety of barriers pose challenges to the Indian wind energy sector, the extent to which these barriers hamper this sector and the alternative solutions are largely unknown. We identify several barriers using existing literature, and then using the modified Delphi approach, refine 25 barriers and classify them into five significant dimensions. Later, the Analytical Hierarchical Process determined the ranking of barriers using pairwise comparison matrices. The Grey Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method ranked alternative solutions to these barriers. Results indicate that “financial barrier” is the most important barrier among all dimensions, while “limited government subsidy” is most influential among all sub-barriers. “Availability of adequate funds” is the best alternative to overcome these barriers. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is performed to validate the study findings. The study findings may assist practitioners and policymakers in boosting the current sluggish growth of the Indian wind sector.

description: We conjecture that the extra dimensions are physical non-compact at high energy scale or high temperature; after the symmetry breaking or cosmological phase transition, the bulk cosmological constant may become negative, and then, the extra dimensions may become physical compact at low energy scale. We show this in a five-dimensional toy brane model with three parallel 3-branes and a real bulk scalar whose potential is temperature dependent. We also point out that after the global or gauge symmetry breaking, or the supersymmetry breaking in supergravity theory, the spontaneous physical compactification of the extra dimensions might be realized.

description: The Japanese in Mexico played an important role in the development of modern Mexican nationalism. From the first settlements in 1897 to their ambivalent treatment during the Second World War, Mexican politicians and intellectuals regarded them as members of a successful empire composed of a paradoxical group of people. Although Japan is located in Asia, native Mexicans separated them from other Asian countries and deemed them honorary Western peoples. Quirarte argues that the Mexican celebration of Japan and its diaspora in the first half of the twentieth century helps us understand the concept of Orientalism in the Mexican context, as well as how Japanese Mexicans became part of the Mexican identity, or Mexicanidad. Mexican Orientalism focused less on people’s physical features and more on behavior and success of one’s country of origin. This understanding of ethno-national categorization of Japanese Mexicans can be seen through different stages of Mexican history, including the late Porfiriato, the Mexican Revolution, the post-revolution decades, and during the country’s participation in the Second World War. Admiration and protection of Mexican Nikkei as honorary Mexicans also intensified U.S.-Mexico relations throughout the first half of the twentieth century which led to American interference in Mexican affairs to gather information and vilify Japanese Mexicans. In response, the Mexican government refused to emulate American policies towards the Japanese, rather find methods to protect its Nikkei population even during alliance obligations towards the United States against an expanding Empire of Japan.

description: We study the effects of non-commutative QED (NCQED) in fermion pair production, gamma + gamma -> f + bar{f} and Compton scattering, e + gamma -> e + gamma. Non-commutative geometries appear naturally in the context of string/M-theory and gives rise to 3- and 4-point photon vertices and to momentum dependent phase factors in QED vertices which will have observable effects in high energy collisions. We consider e+ e- colliders with energies appropriate to the TeV Linear Collider proposals and the multi-TeV CLIC project operating in gamma gamma and e gamma modes. Non-commutative scales roughly equal to the center of mass energy of the e+ e- collider can be probed, with the exact value depending on the model parameters and experimental factors. However, we found that the Compton process is sensitive to Lambda_{NC} values roughly twice as large as those accessible to the pair production process.

description: Herein, a lotus-leaf-like polydimethylsiloxane coating was printed on the surface of an as-prepared aluminum oxide hydroxide (AlOOH)/lignocellulose composite (ALC) using soft lithography. Compared with pure lignocellulose, the coated ALC exhibited a higher modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture due to the abundant hydrogen bonds between the fibers and AlOOH nanoparticles (NPs) and the tough layered structure of the fibers. The maximum pyrolysis rate of the coated ALC during differential thermal gravimetry was slower than that of the pure lignocellulose, and the total heat release measured by the cone calorimeter test was reduced by 10.3% compared to the pure material, which confirmed the flame retardant properties of the AlOOH NPs in the ALC. The coated ALC possessed excellent superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 152.1° and a sliding angle of 7.4°. The coating was able to durably resist a certain abrasion range, hot soaking and acid/alkali drops.

description: The integral of the energy density function $\mathfrak m$ of a closed Robertson-Walker (RW) spacetime with source a perfect fluid and cosmological constant $Λ$ gives rise to an action functional on the space of scale functions of RW spacetime metrics. This paper studies closed RW spacetimes which are critical for this functional, subject to volume-preserving variations (critical RW spacetimes). A complete classification of critical RW spacetimes is given and explicit solutions in terms of Weierstrass elliptic functions and their degenerate forms are computed. The standard energy conditions (weak, dominant, and strong) as well as the cyclic property of critical RW spacetimes are discussed.

Nonobservation in p pbar annihilation implies ${\cal B}(ξ\to p\bar p) \sim$ few $\times 10^{-3}$, consistent with eta_c and J/ψdecays, but there are actual hints in p pbar -> phi phi and p p-> p pi^+ pi^- pi^+ pi^- p. Simple modeling shows ${\cal B}(B \to ξK){\cal B}(ξ\to p\bar p) \sim 1\times 10^{-6}$, appearing as a spike in the $p\bar p$ spectrum, with $\sim$ 30 events per 100 fb$^{-1}$; modes such as K K_s K_s, K phi phi, K4 pi (K f_2 pi pi) etc. should be explored. The underlying dynamics of g* -> g xi is analogous to g* -> g etaprime or gluon fragmentation. Discovery of sizable B -> xi K could be useful for CP violation studies.

description: The high-resolution optical spectra of the two X-ray active binaries RS CVn stars HD 113816 (IS Vir) and HD 119285 (V851 Cen) are analysed and their Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Sc, Ti, Co and Ni contents determined. The analysis of IS Vir and V851 Cen is performed with three different LTE methods. In the first one, abundances are derived using measured equivalent widths and Kurucz LTE model atmospheres as input for the MOOG software package. The input atmospheric parameters and abundances are iteratively modified until (i) the Fe I abundances exhibit no trend with excitation potential or equivalent width, (ii) Fe I and Fe II average abundances are the same and (iii) Fe and Alpha elements average abundances are consistent with the input values. The second method follows a similar approach, but relies on the B-V and V-I colour indices to determine the temperature. The third method relies on fitting the 6162 A Ca I line wing profiles to derive the surface gravity. The reliability of these methods is investigated in the context of single line RS CVn stars. It is shown that the V-I photometric index gives, on a broader sample of stars, significantly cooler estimates of the effective temperature than the B-V index. All other approaches give results in good agreement with each other. The analysis of IS Vir and V851 Cen results in both cases in their primaries being giant stars of near-solar metallicity. Their parameters as derived with the first method are respectively Teff = 4720 K, log g = 2.65, [Fe/H] = +0.04 and Teff = 4700 K, log g = 3.0 and [Fe/H] = -0.13. In the case of V851 Cen the derived iron content is significantly higher than a previous determination in the literature. Both stars exhibit relative overabundances of several elements (e.g. Ca) with respect to the solar mix.

description: Girls have been biased against throughout history. Although progress in gender equality has been made, such biases still exist all over the world. But, unlike in the past, when gender biases towards kids were explicitly shown, nowadays, people may unconsciously or implicitly hold gender biases towards children. These biases are embedded in their words and are not easily revealed. Utilizing Customer data from Amazon customer reviews and a word embedding algorithm, I analyze whether there are gender biases and stereotypes towards children within a close relationship and within the general society explicitly and implicitly. I also examine how such biases occur, whether it is because of the positive bias against boys or negative bias against girls. Finally, I show that if gender biases and stereotypes towards children do exist, how they differ between the US and the UK.

description: Microvascular anastomosis is mandatory for free flap surgery, but free flap transfer can be challenging because of vascular diameter discrepancies during microsurgery. Different methods have been described for preventing vascular discrepancies. The aim of this study was to test a simple technique using a hemostatic clip to taper the vessels. In 12 patients who had free tissue transfer with diameter discrepancies between donor and recipient vessels, tapering with a hemostatic clip technique was used. After key sutures were placed on the vessels, a hemostatic clip was placed in an oblique fashion on the vessel with a larger diameter. After the vessel was tapered and the same diameters in the donor and recipient vessels were achieved, anastomosis was completed. This technique was used in head and neck reconstruction and lower extremity reconstruction. The luminal diameters of arteries, and veins of the flap and recipient differed by 1.6- to 3.0-fold and 1.5- to 2.6-fold, respectively. All the flaps survived without complications. Tapering with a hemoclip technique is a rapid procedure that can be considered for managing vascular diameter discrepancies in free tissue transfers.

description: The $L^{p}$ theory for non-isentropic Navier-Stokes equations governing compressible viscous and heat-conductive gases is not yet proved completely so far, because the critical regularity cannot control all non linear coupling terms. In this paper, we pose an additional regularity assumption of low frequencies in $\mathbb{R}^d(d\geq 3)$, and then the sharp time-weighted inequality can be established, which leads to the time-decay estimates of global strong solutions in the $L^{p}$ critical Besov spaces. Precisely, we show that if the initial data belong to some Besov space $\dot{B}^{-s_{1}}_{2,\infty}$ with $s_{1}\in (1-\frac{d}{2}, s_0](s_0\triangleq \frac{2d}{p}-\frac{d}{2})$, then the $L^{p}$ norm of the critical global solutions admits the time decay $t^{-\frac{s_{1}}{2}-\frac{d}{2}(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{p})}$ (in particular, $t^{-\frac{d}{2p}}$ if $s_1=s_0$), which coincides with that of heat kernel in the $L^p$ framework. In comparison with \cite{DX2}, the low-frequency regularity $s_1$ can be improved to be \textit{the whole range}.

description: We express the two-massless-flavor Gell-Mann--Oakes--Renner ratio in terms of low-energy pi-pi observables, including the O(p^6) double chiral logarithms of generalized chiral perturbation theory. Their contribution is sizeable and tends to compensate the one from the single chiral logarithms. However it is not large enough to spoil the convergence of the chiral expansion. As a signal of reduced theoretical uncertainty, we find that the scale dependence from the one-loop single logarithms is almost completely canceled by the one from the two-loop double logarithms.

title: Understanding the Cash Demand Puzzle

description: We develop a model to explain a puzzling trend in cash demand in recent years: the value of bank notes in circulation as a percentage of GDP has remained stable despite decreasing cash usage at points of sale owing to competition from alternative means of payment such as credit cards. The main feature of the model is that cash circulates between economic activities where the substitutability between cash and other means of payment is uneven. Our model predicts that, once credit expands beyond a certain level, agents adjust their cash management practices in response to further credit expansions, causing the velocity of cash to slow down, so that the demand for cash can remain flat despite diminishing cash transactions.
description: Nous élaborons un modèle permettant d’expliquer une tendance curieuse en ce qui a trait à la demande de monnaie observée ces dernières années : la valeur des billets de banque en circulation, exprimée en pourcentage du PIB, est demeurée stable, et ce, malgré la diminution de l’utilisation d’espèces aux points de vente sous l’effet de la concurrence d’autres modes de paiement comme les cartes de crédit. Ce modèle est caractérisé par le fait que l’argent circule entre des secteurs d’activité économique au sein desquels la substituabilité entre les espèces et les autres modes de paiement est inégale. Selon les prévisions de notre modèle, lorsque l’utilisation du crédit atteint un certain niveau, les agents revoient leurs pratiques de gestion de l’argent comptant en réaction à toute nouvelle expansion du crédit. Cela provoque un ralentissement de la vitesse de circulation des espèces, de sorte que la demande de monnaie reste constante en dépit de la baisse des transactions réglées comptant.

description: It is well known that cross-sections in perturbative QCD receive large corrections from soft and collinear radiation, whose properties must be resummed to all orders in the coupling. Whether or not the universal properties of this radiation can be extended to next-to-leading power (NLP) in the threshold expansion has been the subject of much recent study. In this paper, we consider two types of NLP effects: the interplay of next-to-soft and collinear radiation in processes with final state jets and the NLP contributions stemming from soft quarks. We derive an NLP amplitude for soft gluons and quarks, valid for an arbitrary number of coloured or colourless massless final state particles. We show explicitly that this framework can be used to correctly obtain the dominant NLP effects in three different types of processes at next-to-leading order: deep-inelastic scattering, hadroproduction via electron-positron annihilation and prompt photon production. Our results provide an important ingredient for developing a universal resummation formalism for NLP effects.

description: We propose a possible answer to one of the most exciting open questions in physics and cosmology, that is the question why we seem to experience four- dimensional space-time with three ordinary and one time dimensions. We have known for more than 70 years that (elementary) particles have spin degrees of freedom, we also know that besides spin they also have charge degrees of freedom, both degrees of freedom in addition to the position and momentum degrees of freedom. We may call these ''internal degrees of freedom '' the ''internal space'' and we can think of all the different particles, like quarks and leptons, as being different internal states of the same particle. The question then naturally arises: Is the choice of the Minkowski metric and the four-dimensional space-time influenced by the ''internal space''? Making assumptions (such as particles being in first approximation massless) about the equations of motion, we argue for restrictions on the number of space and time dimensions. (Actually the Standard model predicts and experiments confirm that elementary particles are massless until interactions switch on masses.) Accepting our explanation of the space-time signature and the number of dimensions would be a point supporting (further) the importance of the ''internal space''.

description: The boundary problem of linear classical optics about the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with a thin dielectric film has been solved under explicit consideration of its discrete structure. The main attention has been paid to the investigation of the near-zone optical response of dielectrics. The laws of reflection and refraction for discrete structures in the case of a regular atomic distribution are studied and the structure of evanescent harmonics induced by an external plane wave near the surface is investigated in details. It is shown by means of analytical and numerical calculations that due to the existence of the evanescent harmonics the laws of reflection and refraction at the distances from the surface less than two interatomic distances are principally different from the Fresnel laws. From the practical point of view the results of this work might be useful for the near-field optical microscopy of ultrahigh resolution.

 Hylaeus stictifrons (COCKERELL) is listed in SNELLING (1985: 8) as a species belonging to Hylaeus (Deranchylaeus). The study of the type revealed, however, that it actually belongs to the subgenus H. (Alfkenylaeus). In this type specimen, the gonostyli are probably broken or worn, so they appear a little shorter. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that it is identical with H. (Alfkenylaeus) namaquensis, described later by COCKERELL – new synonym.

description: Cubature Kalman Filter (CKF) has good performance when handling nonlinear dynamic state estimations. However, it cannot work well in non-Gaussian noise and bad data environment due to the lack of auto-adaptive ability to measure noise statistics on line. In order to address the problem of behavioral decline and divergence when measure noise statistics deviate prior noise statistics, a new robust CKF (RCKF) algorithm is developed by combining the Huber's M-estimation theory with the classical CKF, and thereby it is proposed to coping with the dynamic state estimation of synchronous generators in this study. The simulation results on the IEEE-9 bus system and New England 16-machine-68-bus system demonstrate that the estimation accuracy and convergence of the proposed RCKF are superior to those of the classical CKF under complex measurement noise environments including different measurement noises and bad data, and that the RCKF is capable of effectively eliminating the impact of bad data on the estimation effects.

description: The MACRO underground detector at Gran Sasso Laboratory recorded 60 million secondary cosmic ray muons from February 1989 until December 2000. Different techniques were used to analyze this sample in search for density excesses from astrophysical point-like sources. No evidence for DC excesses for any source in an all-sky survey is reported. In addition, searches for muon excess correlated with the known binary periods of Cygnus X-3 and Hercules X-1, and searches for statistically significant bursting episodes from known gamma ray sources are also proved negative.

This includes the evolution equation of the Collins fragmentation function. The moments of these functions are matrix elements of known twist two and twist three operators. We present the evolution in the large N_c limit, restricting to non-singlet for the chiral-even functions.

description: The type IIn SN 1998S is one of the most remarkable core-collapse supernovae ever observed. It underwent a complex interaction with a substantial circumstellar medium, resulting in radiation at wavelengths from radio to X-rays. IR and optical observations have revealed a wide variety of broad and narrow emission lines. Examination of the SN/CSM interaction and of the ejecta spectra has allowed us to deduce that the supernova probably arose from a massive, RSG progenitor having a large (>3200 AU radius), dusty circumstellar disk. SN 1998S also developed one of the strongest, most persistent infrared excesses ever seen in a supernova. IR/optical monitoring of SN 1998S has been carried out to nearly 1200 days post-explosion. This includes coverage to wavelengths as long as 4.7 microns, making SN 1998S only the second supernova (after SN 1987A) to be observed in this spectral region. Fading of the central and redshifted components of the late-time H I and He I line profiles suggests strongly that dust condensed in the ejecta. However, it is less clear whether the strong late-time IR emission arose from this dust, or from an IR echo in the dusty CSM. One interesting possibility is that dust condensed in the cool dense shell between the outer and reverse shocks, thus simultaneously producing both the line obscuration and the IR emission.
