3D ISM-Shock Spectral Emission: X-ray models for Radio Galaxy SED Modeling

description: Galaxies form out of small fluctuations in a smoothly expanding Universe. However, the initial gravitational collapse phase is accompanied by the formation of supermassive black holes and clusters of massive stars. Black holes and star clusters generate powerful outflows in the form of jets and superwinds that interact with still infalling gas, possibly regulating the galaxy formation process, initiating new sites of star formation, and carrying chemically enriched gas to the intergalactic medium. Unfortunately, beyond this qualitative description our detailed theoretical understanding is poor. New results from 3D simulations of a GPS/CSS galaxy, with gravitational potentials included, shed some new light on the jet driven outflow process in particular. New code capabilites to predict detailed X-ray spectra from multi-dimensional time-dependent dynamics simulations of Galaxy Feedback, and will be useful for future interpretation of X-ray and radio SEDs of forming galaxies.

A Compact Source of Positron Beams with Small Thermal Emittance

Subjects: subject: Accelerator Physics (physics.acc-ph)

description: We investigate electrostatic traps as a novel source of positron beams for accelerator physics applications. Penning-Malmberg (PM) traps are commonly employed in low-energy antimatter experiments. Positrons contained in the trap are cooled to room temperature or below. We calculate the thermal emittance of the positrons in the trap and show that it is comparable to or better than the performance of state-of-the-art photocathode guns. We propose a compact positron source comprised of a PM trap, electrostatic compressor, and rf accelerator that can be built and operated at a fraction of the cost and size of traditional target-based positron sources, albeit at a reduced repetition rate. We model the acceleration of a positron bunch up to an energy of 17.6 MeV with a final thermal emittance of 0.60 $μ$m-rad and bunch length of 190 $μ$m. This system may be useful for acceleration physics studies, such as investigations of flat-beam sources for linear colliders and positron plasma wakefield acceleration.

description: Amorphous solids may resist external deformation such as shear or compression while they do not present any long-range translational order or symmetry at the microscopic scale. Yet, it was recently discovered that, when they become rigid, such materials acquire a high degree of symmetry hidden in the disorder fluctuations: their microstructure becomes statistically conformally invariant. In this Letter we exploit this finding to characterise the universality class of central-force rigidity percolation (RP), using Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) theory. We provide numerical evidences that the interfaces of the mechanically stable structures (rigid clusters), at the rigidification transition, are consistently described by SLE$_κ$, showing that this powerful framework can be applied to a mechanical percolation transition. Using well-known relations between different SLE observables and the universal diffusion constant $κ$, we obtain the estimation $κ\sim2.9$ for central-force RP. This value is consistent, through relations coming from conformal field theory, with previously measured values for the clusters' fractal dimension $D_f$ and correlation length exponent $ν$, providing new, non-trivial relations between critical exponents for RP. These findings open the way to a fine understanding of the microstructure in other important classes of rigidity and jamming transitions.
From Free Fields to AdS -- Thermal Case

description: We analyze the reorganization of free field theory correlators to closed string amplitudes investigated in hep-th/0308184 hep-th/0402063 hep-th/0409233 hep-th/0504229 in the case of Euclidean thermal field theory and study how the dual bulk geometry is encoded on them. The expectation value of Polyakov loop, which is an order parameter for confinement-deconfinement transition, is directly reflected on the dual bulk geometry. The dual geometry of confined phase is found to be AdS space periodically identified in Euclidean time direction. The gluing of Schwinger parameters, which is a key step for the reorganization of field theory correlators, works in the same way as in the non-thermal case. In deconfined phase the gluing is made possible only by taking the dual geometry correctly. The dual geometry for deconfined phase does not have a non-contractible circle in the Euclidean time direction.

description: Controllable quantum many-body systems are platforms for fundamental investigations into the nature of entanglement and promise to deliver computational speed-up for a broad class of algorithms and simulations. In particular, engineering entanglement within a dense spin ensemble can turn it into a robust quantum memory or a computational platform. Recent experimental progress in dense central spin systems motivates the design of algorithms that use a central-spin qubit as a convenient proxy for the ensemble. Here we propose a protocol that uses a central spin to initialize two dense spin ensembles into a pure anti-polarized state and from there creates a many-body entangled state -- a singlet -- from the combined ensemble. We quantify the protocol performance for multiple material platforms and show that it can be implemented even in the presence of realistic levels of decoherence. Our protocol introduces an algorithmic approach to preparation of a known many-body state and to entanglement engineering in a dense spin ensemble, which can be extended towards a broad class of collective quantum states.

description: The wide popularity of short videos on social media poses new opportunities and challenges to optimize recommender systems on the video-sharing platforms. Users sequentially interact with the system and provide complex and multi-faceted responses, including watch time and various types of interactions with multiple videos. One the one hand, the platforms aims at optimizing the users' cumulative watch time (main goal) in long term, which can be effectively optimized by Reinforcement Learning. On the other hand, the platforms also needs to satisfy the constraint of accommodating the responses of multiple user interactions (auxiliary goals) such like, follow, share etc. In this paper, we formulate the problem of short video recommendation as a Constrained Markov Decision Process (CMDP). We find that traditional constrained reinforcement learning algorithms can not work well in this setting. We propose a novel two-stage constrained actor-critic method: At stage one, we learn individual policies to optimize each auxiliary signal. At stage two, we learn a policy to (i) optimize the main signal and (ii) stay close to policies learned at the first stage, which effectively guarantees the performance of this main policy on the auxiliaries. Through extensive offline evaluations, we demonstrate effectiveness of our method over alternatives in both optimizing the main goal as well as balancing the others. We further show the advantage of our method in live experiments of short video recommendations, where it significantly outperforms other baselines in terms of both watch time and interactions. Our approach has been fully launched in the production system to optimize user experiences on the platform.

В контексте внесённых в текст Конституции РФ поправки 2020 года, конкретизирующих современную образовательную действительность в статье анализируется необходимость и значимость юридического определения педагогической тайны в перечне охраняемым государством тайн, что составляет цель нестоящего исследования. Важно отметить, что автор анализируя различные суждения на предмет выявления необходимости разработки данного закона представляет определённое видение проблемы исследования и пытается ответить на вопрос: расширит или сузит эта правовая новелла конституционные права и обязанности человека и гражданина в России и, в конечном итоге, не затруднит ли данный нормативный акт деятельность образовательных учреждений и творческий подход педагогов к своим профессиональным обязанностям. В результате исследования обосновывается роль и значение необходимости принятия предполагаемого федерального закона о педагогической тайне и введения административной ответственности за ее нарушение. Автор полагает, что выявление сущностных характеристик педагогической тайны, как правового явления дополняют и характеризуют особенности современной правовой действительности нашего государства и она нуждается в законодательном оформлении и инкорпорации в российское право. Для этого предлагает разработать и принять Федеральный закон О педагогической тайне в Российской Федерации , конкретизирующий аспекты воспитания и обучения, как семейного, так и общественного и необходимость сведений нуждающихся сокрытии от постороннего вмешательства.

description: The present trend to more quantitative analysis for public decisions on land allocation has included studies based on the opportunity cost criterion. This encouraging trend could be promoted through improved use of the criterion. Two important improvements are the analysis of uncertainty and the generation and analysis of a whole schedule of land use plans. The paper illustrates these improvements through empirical application of linear programming to two land use problems in New South Wales.

description: In human populations, assortative mating is almost univer-sally positive, with similarities between partners for quantit-ative phenotypes 1-6, common disease risk 1,3,7-10, beha-vi-our 6,11, social factors 12-14 and personality 4,5,11. The causes and genetic consequences of assortative mating remain un-re-solved because partner similarity can arise from different mechanisms: Phenotypic assortment based on mate choice 15,16, partner interaction and convergence in phenotype over time 14,17, or social homogamy where individuals pair according to social or environmental background. Here, we present theory and an analytical approach to test for genetic evidence of assortative mating and find a correlation in genetic value among partners for a range of phenotypes. Across three independent samples of 24,662 spousal pairs in total, we infer a correlation at trait-associated loci between partners for height (0.200, 0.004 standard error, SE) that matched the phenotypic correlation (0.201, 0.004 SE), and a correlation at trait-associated loci for BMI (0.143, 0.007 SE) that was significantly lower than the phenotypic value (0.228, 0.004 SE). We extend our analysis to the UK Biobank study (7,780 pairs), finding evidence of a correlation at trait-associated loci for waist-to-hip ratio (0.101, 0.041 SE), systolic blood pressure (0.138, 0.064 SE) and educational attainment (0.654, 0.014 SE). Our results imply that mate choice, combined with widespread pleiotropy among traits, affects the genomic architecture of traits in humans.

Year: 1978
Subjects: Farm Management

description: This paper reports the results of a survey of part-time farmers in two shires close to Melbourne in 1974-75. The farmers were a very diverse group in terms of off-farm employment and income; few derived substantial income from farming and the majority indicated that they farmed for non-financial reasons. Part-time farming appeared to be a stable working/ living arrangement and part-time farms were about as productive as full-time farms in the same shire. Possible tax savings associated with part-time farming are discussed. The findings raise doubts about the appropriateness of profit-maximising models for analysing part-time farmer behaviour.

description: We consider a system of repulsively interacting Bose-Fermi mixtures of spin polarized uniform atomic gases at zero temperature. We examine possible realization of p-wave superfluidity of fermions due to an effective attractive interaction via density fluctuations of Bose-Einstein condensate within mean-field approximation. We find the ground state of the system by direct energy comparison of p-wave superfluid and phase-separated states, and suggest an occurrence of the p-wave superfluid for a strong boson-fermion interaction regime. We study some signatures in the p-wave superfluid phase, such as anisotropic energy gap and quasi-particle energy in the axial state, that have not been observed in spin unpolarized superfluid of atomic fermions. We also show that a Cooper pair is a tightly bound state like a diatomic molecule in the strong boson-fermion coupling regime and suggest an observable indication of the p-wave superfluid in the real experiment.

description: We compute the free energy of the chiral soliton lattice state in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at nonzero baryon chemical potential, temperature and external magnetic field at the next-to-leading order of chiral perturbation theory. This extends previous work where only a special limit of the chiral soliton lattice, the domain wall, was considered. Our results therefore serve as a consistency check of the previously established phase diagram of QCD at moderate magnetic fields and temperature and sub-nuclear baryon chemical potentials. Moreover, we use the result for the free energy to determine the magnetization carried by the domain wall and the chiral soliton lattice, both at the next-to-leading order.

description: Quantum key-distribution protocols allow two honest distant parties to establish a common truly random secret key in the presence of powerful adversaries, provided that the two users share beforehand a short secret key. This pre-shared secret key is used mainly for authentication purposes in the post-processing of classical data that have been obtained during the quantum communication stage, and it prevents a man-in-the-middle attack. The necessity of a pre-shared key is usually considered as the main drawback of quantum key-distribution protocols, which becomes even stronger for large networks involving more that two users. Here we discuss the conditions under which physical unclonable function can be integrated in currently available quantum key-distribution systems, in order to facilitate the generation and the distribution of the necessary pre-shared key, with the smallest possible cost in the security of the systems. Moreover, the integration of physical unclonable functions in quantum key-distribution networks allows for real-time authentication of the devices that are connected to the network.

THE POTENTIAL FOR INCREASING AGRICULTURAL TAXES IN EAST PAKISTAN

description: No one tax system is best suited for all countries or even for one country at all points of time. The tax structure as well as the tax level should change with the structural change in the economy during development. Otherwise the government expenditure-revenue gap over time may become too wide and result in inflation and political instability. Agricultural taxes can play an important role in a growing economy. But in practice we find from different studies that the share of agricultural taxes in government in most of the developing countries is declining. There is a growing view among economists that agriculture in many of the less developed countries (LDC's) is undertaxed. If tax policy is not changed it is highly likely that agriculture will not contribute an appropriate share to government revenue out of the new income generated from the Green Revolution. In this framework this paper explores the role, need, and perspective of agricultural taxes during economic transformation.

description: We calculate the effect of electron-vibration coupling on conduction through atomic gold wires, which was measured in the experiments of Agraït et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 216803 (2002)]. The vibrational modes, the coupling constants, and the inelastic transport are all calculated using a tight-binding parametrization and the non-equilibrium Green function formalism. The electron-vibration coupling gives rise to small drops in the conductance at voltages corresponding to energies of some of the vibrational modes. We study systematically how the position and height of these steps vary as a linear wire is stretched and more atoms are added to it, and find a good agreement with the experiments. We also consider two different types of geometries, which are found to yield qualitatively similar results. In contrast to previous calculations, we find that typically there are several close-lying drops due to different longitudinal modes. In the experiments, only a single drop is usually visible, but its width is too large to be accounted for by temperature. Therefore, to explain the experimental results, we find it necessary to introduce a finite broadening to the vibrational modes, which makes the separate drops merge into a single, wide one. In addition, we predict how the signatures of vibrational modes in the conductance curves differ between linear and zigzag-type wires.

description: Scope: Body weight responds variably to the intake of dairy foods. Genetic variation may contribute to inter-individual variability in associations between body weight and dairy consumption. Methods and results: A genome-wide interaction study to discover genetic variants that account for variation in BMI in the context of low-fat, high-fat and total dairy intake in cross-sectional analysis was conducted. Data from nine discovery studies (up to 25 513 European descent individuals) were meta-analyzed. Twenty-six genetic variants reached the selected significance threshold (p-interaction <10−7), and six independent variants (LINC01512-rs7751666, PALM2/AKAP2-rs914359, ACTA2-rs1388, PPP1R12A-rs7961195, LINC00333-rs9635058, AC098847.1-rs1791355) were evaluated meta-analytically for replication of interaction in up to 17 675 individuals. Variant rs9635058 (128 kb 3’ of LINC00333) was replicated (p-interaction = 0.004). In the discovery cohorts, rs9635058 interacted with dairy (p-interaction = 7.36 × 10−8) such that each serving of low-fat dairy was associated with 0.225 kg m−2 lower BMI per each additional copy of the effect allele (A). A second genetic variant (ACTA2-rs1388) approached interaction replication significance for low-fat dairy exposure. Conclusion: Body weight responses to dairy intake may be modified by genotype, in that greater dairy intake may protect a genetic subgroup from higher body weight.
IMPROVED SYSTEMS OF RICE FARMING IN ZAIRE: A COMPARISON OF UPLAND AND IRRIGATED RICE

description: Cassava, maize, rice, groundnuts and plantains constitute the main food crops in Zaire. Rice is a staple food in several regions though its consumption has thus been concentrated in the urban centers. The Department of Agriculture had estimated that rice consumption increased at an annual rate of 2.1 percent for the 1971-74 period and it has also predicted that this rate may reach 9.1 percent by the end of the decade. One of Zaire's key problems is to meet its domestic demand for rice. The government policy of fixing annual hectarage targets for rice and other crops to be achieved through the opening of new land and through exhorting farmers to grow more rice has not succeeded in closing the gap between supply and demand. The focus now is on development programs to increase the commercial production of rice, maize and other major crops. As is the case for most food crops, there is an urgent need for micro-economic research at the farm level to help guide policy makers in increasing rice production. A generalized introduction of fertilizer and high yielding seeds at the small farm level, the adoption of a mechanical technology and the diffusion of irrigated rice system constitute major elements of improved systems of rice farming being presently contemplated in Zaire. In contrast with the agriculture of some West African countries, fertilizer diffusion has not yet reached the vast majority of small holders in various regions of Zaire although they have some use of improved seeds. This paper will first attempt to evaluate the impact of a fertilizer adoption at the small farm level in traditional upland rice farming in the forest zone and later deal with a comparative analysis of an improved upland rice and an irrigated rice farming systems in savannah area where both the objective of increasing rice output and the farmer's revenue are contemplated.

description: Much information and insight concerning the engineering behavior and characteristics of soils and geologic materials can be obtained by a review of geologic and soil reports available in the literature. This knowledge concerning the engineering behavior of these materials can be quite useful to the design and construction engineers as they proceed with their endeavors with respect to civil engineering structures such as highways. Much of this general and preliminary information is available to the public in the form of county soil survey reports that have been published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and geologic quadrangle maps that have been published by the U.S. Geological Survey. In recent years there has been an extensive and intensive geological mapping program underway in the State of Kentucky. The USGS field parties have progressed to a very advanced stage in this mapping program in the Jackson Purchase area. Many of the quadrangle maps have already been published. In addition the USGS has made available to the Research Division certain other information concerning those areas for which published geologic maps are not yet available.

description: В статье изложен взгляд автора на подходы к пониманию природы государства, которые должны обусловливаться через необходимость определения его ценностных и функциональных качеств. Одновременно, по мнению автора, каждое государство имеет собственную природу, обусловленную не только характеристическими чертами самобытности, но подверженную влиянию человеческой индивидуальности и изучать его постепенное историческое развитие. Автор полагает, что для понимания природы конкретного государства необходимо учитывать: различие правовой природы государства и государственной власти, единой системы публичной власти и природы государства как такового, что только при таком изучении могут быть понятны место, роль и значение как юридических институтов, так и философских обоснований природы, цели и задач государства (вернее их построение).

description: The quality of agricultural price data has been a growing concern of producers, researchers, and government officials in recent years. The major work done on improving agricultural price data has, of course, taken place within the United States Department of Agriculture. These efforts have not only led to the identification of key problems and issues in price reporting but have also resulted in a deeper investigation into our data and information systems. While an information system theory as such has not been developed, significant contributions have been made in terms of insights gained into the issues, the definitions and the epistemological nature of data systems and information systems. This study will be done in the context of these insights into the nature of data and information systems.

description: When the Portuguese and Spanish navigators landed on the American continent in the 15th century, they found cassava being grown by Indians and used to prepare food and alcoholic drinks. For this reason, cassava can be considered a native American plant which has spread to other regions of the tropics. Cassava refers to any of several plants which are grown widely in many areas of the tropics for their fresh, starchy, edible root stocks. It is known as cassava in English speaking regions, as manioc in French speaking areas, as tapioca in English speaking parts of Southeast Asia, as mandioca in Brazil, and as yuca in Spanish speaking regions of South America. As one of the largest countries in the world, and with the necessity for much greater emphasis on increased production to feed a growing population and a growing industry, the need to implement policies which will induce substantial expansion of cassava production is becoming continually more urgent in Brazil.

description: The objectives of this study are disposed toward the development of Kentucky Rock Asphalt for use as a traffic-bound base and surface on rural roads near its source and toward re-development of the material for use as hot-mixed, hot-laid, skid-resistant surface course for higher echelon roads. The material is a natural asphaltic-sandstone which occurs in considerable abundance in Edmonson County and in other outcrops of Pottsville sandstones bordering the eastern rim of the Western Kentucky Coal Fields. From 1900 until the 1950's, rock-asphalt was used extensively in Kentucky and elsewhere for road surfacing and was regarded widely as a premium-grade material -- providing a soft-riding, sand-textured, skid-resistant pavement. The crushed, natural product -- traditionally containing 7.2 percent natural bitumen -- was characteristically tender for a long time after it was spread on the road; consequently, it could not reliably withstand modern traffic. In the past, several attempts were made to process and pre-roast the material to overcome this deficiency, but none proved to be wholly desirable. Production was discontinued in 1956. Re-development began in 1962 with trial uses of lower grade (lean) materials as traffic-bound bases and surfaces on minor roads. These early experiments did not produce favorable performance; in some of the interim experiments, the material was up-graded with additions of liquid and emulsified asphalts; and, in other the raw base courses were sealed, a major development, recently, was the successful production of a hot-mixed, enriched, mixture processed through a conventional dryer, pugmill, etc. The raw aggregate consisted of crushed, graded lean rock -- containing 4 percent or more indigenous bitumen.
