description: We present numerical results from a full second order quantum field theory of Bose-Einstein condensates applied to the 1997 JILA experiment [D. S. Jin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. Vol. 78, 764 (1997)]. Good agreement is found for the energies and decay rates for both the lowest-energy m = 2 and m = 0 modes. The anomalous behaviour of the m = 0 mode is due to experimental perturbation of the non-condensate. The theory includes the coupled dynamics of the condensate and thermal cloud, the anomalous pair average and all relevant finite size effects.

description: In order to solve the problem of inaccuracy of using GC-QTOF-MS combined with NIST14 database in analyzing Ruta graveolens L. essential oil components, systematic isolation and characterization of chemicals from essential oil were carried on. Seventeen compounds which were 3 terpenoids, 8 lipid compounds, 3 alcohol compounds and 3 ketones were separated by preparative GC after dividing the essential oil into 5 groups of fractions by silica gel column. The chemical structures of isolated compounds were identified by GC-QTOF-MS and NMR. Three new in general compounds (50, 53 and 55) were isolated. And proton and carbon spectra of six compounds were provided for the first time. Through separation and structure identification of the compounds, qualitative analysis of total chemical components of the essential oil was increased from 42.0% to 90.3%. This research would be of great significance to application of Ruta graveolens L. essential oil.

description: Th e potential for modern agribusiness to promote broad-based economic growth in developing and emerging market economies is significant. Food retailers, wholesalers, and processors have the potential to link smallholder producers to dynamic domestic and regional markets. They can contribute technical and managerial capacity building and investment. However,this potential is often underutilized, and in many countries, smallholder producers and small- and medium-scale enterprises are relegated to lower value markets. While agribusiness is not, nor should it be, driven primarily by a development imperative, the retail and processing stages rarely see the reach of their actions at the production level, including the implications for smallholder producers. Furthermore, many recent initiatives, often working with development partners, seldom result in any lasting economic empowerment or sustained market engagement of smallholder farmers or their organizations. In many countries, there is little policy dialogue between the private and public sectors and other key stakeholders, including farmers’ organizations and civil society. This paper explores the business challenge of and case for smallholder producers’ market inclusion. It looks at some of the evidences that demonstrates how business models and business processes can succeed in securing market inclusion. It includes producer- and buyer-driven business models, the development of new market intermediaries, changes in mainstream procurement policy, the development of domestic codes of good business practice, and global initiatives. Th is paper draws largely on business models and policy innovation from empirical research, case studies, and country-level multistakeholder chainwide learning events undertaken through a global program entitled Regoverning Markets program.

description: Peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are a new retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding. The Optic Disc Drusen Studies Consortium had made recommendations to distinguish PHOMS from true optic disc drusen (ODD) in 2018. While publications on PHOMS have increased since then, the accuracy of the definition of PHOMS and reliability of detection is unknown. In this multi-rater study, we demonstrate that the 2018 definition of PHOMS resulted in a poor multi-rater kappa of 0.356. We performed a Delphi consensus process to develop a consistent and refined definition of PHOMS with clear principles around the nature of PHOMS and how they differ from normal anatomy. Fifty explanatory teaching slides, provided as supplementary material, allowed our expert group of raters to achieve a good level of agreement (kappa 0.701, 50 OCT scans, 21 raters). We recommend adopting the refined definition for PHOMS.

General relativistic hydrodynamics with viscosity: contraction, catastrophic collapse, and disk formation in hypermassive neutron stars

description: Viscosity and magnetic fields drive differentially rotating stars toward uniform rotation, which has important consequences in many astrophysical contexts. For example, merging binary neutron stars can form a "hypermassive" remnant, i.e. a differentially rotating star with a mass greater than the maximum allowed by uniform rotation. The removal of the centrifugal support provided by differential rotation can lead to delayed collapse of the remnant to a black hole, accompanied by a burst of gravitational radiation. Both magnetic fields and viscosity alter the structure of differentially rotating stars on secular timescales, making numerical tracking of the evolution difficult. Here, we present the first simulations of rapidly rotating stars with shear viscosity in full general relativity. We self-consistently include viscosity in our relativistic hydrodynamic code to solve the relativistic Navier-Stokes equations both in axisymmetry and in full 3+1 dimensions. In axisymmetry, we follow secular evolution with high resolution over dozens of rotation periods (thousands of M). We find that viscosity operating in a hypermassive star generically leads to the formation of a compact, uniformly rotating core surrounded by a low-density disk. These uniformly rotating cores are often, but not always, unstable to gravitational collapse. In the unstable cases, we follow the collapse and determine the mass and the spin of the final black hole and ambient disk. In all cases studied, the rest mass of the resulting disk is found to be 10-20% of the original star, whether surrounding a uniformly rotating core or a rotating black hole. This study foreshadows more detailed, future simulations of secular processes, including magnetic effects, in relativistic stars.

Densities of states in Fe-doped III-V semiconductors: a first-principles study

description: The electronic structures of Fe-doped III-V semiconductors were studied by first-principles supercell calculation. It was found that their electronic structures are basically the same as those of Mn-doped ones except that the extra electron of Fe compared to Mn occupies either majority-spin $p$-$d$ hybridized antibonding states ($t_{a,\uparrow}$) or minority-spin $e$ states ($e_{\downarrow}$) and that the center of gravity of the $d$ partial density of states is higher for Fe than for Mn. The present calculations suggest that ferromagnetism appears when the $e_{\downarrow}$ states start to be occupied. The band splitting due to $s$-$d$ hybridization was found to be significantly smaller than the one due to $p$-$d$ hybridization. This indicates that the $s,p$-$d$ exchange interaction is not responsible for the high-temperature ferromagnetism of the Fe-doped ferromagnetic semiconductors even in $n$-type compounds.

description: Cluster farming means grouping farmers together to consolidate their produce to deliver in bulk, thus saving transportation and transaction costs. As this marketing strategy is an alternative to traditional vegetable marketing practices in the Philippines, there is a need to evaluate the extent to which cluster farming has fulfilled the farmers’ expectations. Th e results demonstrate that even though farmers may not be financially better off, most of the cluster members’ expectations had been met after joining the cluster.

description: The generation of significant photocurrents observed in plasmonic metasurfaces is interesting from a fundamental point of view and promising for applications in plasmon-based electronics and plasmonic sensors with compact electrical detection. We show that photoinduced voltages in strongly modulated plasmonic surfaces demonstrate a highly asymmetric angular dependence with polarity switching around the plasmon resonance conditions. The effects are tentatively attributed to coupling between localized and propagating plasmons.

Network Landscape from a Brownian Particle's Perspective

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Biological Physics (physics.bio-ph)

description: Given a complex biological or social network, how many clusters should it be decomposed into? We define the distance $d_{i,j}$ from node $i$ to node $j$ as the average number of steps a Brownian particle takes to reach $j$ from $i$. Node $j$ is a global attractor of $i$ if $d_{i,j}\leq d_{i,k}$ for any $k$ of the graph; it is a local attractor of $i$, if $j\in E_i$ (the set of nearest-neighbors of $i$) and $d_{i,j}\leq d_{i,l}$ for any $l\in E_i$. Based on the intuition that each node should have a high probability to be in the same community as its global (local) attractor on the global (local) scale, we present a simple method to uncover a network's community structure. This method is applied to several real networks and some discussion on its possible extensions is made.

description: An implicit association test is a human psychological test used to measure subconscious associations. While widely recognized by psychologists as an effective tool in measuring attitudes and biases, the validity of the results can be compromised if a subject does not follow the instructions or attempts to manipulate the outcome. Compared to previous work, we collect training data using a more generalized methodology. We train a variety of different classifiers to identify a participant's first attempt versus a second possibly compromised attempt. To compromise the second attempt, participants are shown their score and are instructed to change it using one of five randomly selected deception methods. Compared to previous work, our methodology demonstrates a more robust and practical framework for accurately identifying a wide variety of deception techniques applicable to the IAT.

description: In developed countries such as the USA and Western Europe, the market share of fresh fruit and vegetable sales by the major supermarket chains can be as high as 80%. In China, with growth rates averaging between 30% and 40%, it is anticipated that supermarket chains will gain a greater market share in Asia. Because of their size, supermarket chains source their product globally and focus on maximizing returns for shareholders, keeping costs low for consumers, and providing a safe product. To be competitive, smallholder farmers need to supply a large volume of safe and high-quality fruit. However, unless they increase their bargaining power, they will become price-takers. Regrettably, most smallholder farmers in Asia lack the income to introduce new technologies such as fertilizing and irrigation to improve fruit quality. Sometimes these management inputs are funded by the trader and supermarket chains though outgrower schemes. However, this leaves the farmer vulnerable to exploitation. We suggest that the best means for smallholder farmers to remain viable in global supply chains is to establish economically sustainable collaborative marketing groups. We propose a new way to fund the establishment of these groups, whereby international aid agencies or national governments fund a core nucleus of farmers (10 to 50) and contract them to implement new technologies. This will deliver a greatly improved product and significantly increase grower returns, often in the order of 5 to 10 times their current net farm profit. We suggest that a portion of the improved profits from this core group be retained to provide short-term startup funds for additional groups of farmers to implement new technologies. Consequently, the process of farmer improvement will become self-generating and self-sustainable without the need for additional support. Furthermore, we propose that the more successful farmers levy themselves to establish and maintain marketing infrastructure and activities such as training and cool chain management. Governments and aid agencies will need to support these marketing groups by providing long-term technical assistance as well as social facilitators to develop trust and maintain unity within the groups.

description: Motivated by first-principles results for jellium and by surface-barrier shapes that are typically used in electron spectroscopies, the bias voltage in ballistic vacuum tunneling is treated in a heuristic manner. The presented approach leads in particular to a parameterization of the tunnel-barrier shape, while retaining a first-principles description of the electrodes. The proposed tunnel barriers are applied to Co(0001) planar tunnel junctions. Besides discussing main aspects of the present scheme, we focus in particular on the absence of the zero-bias anomaly in vacuum tunneling.

description: Food products are increasingly being produced in vertically coordinated networks. While one could argue that supply chain networks and their management are of greater interest in the developed countries, in-depth interviews with agribusiness experts provide evidence that the interest in supply chain management is even greater in the transitional economies. A study of food businesses in Ukraine reveals a number of challenges and barriers supply chain networks face in the transitional economies, the most significant of which are cooperation and coordination issues.

description: O objetivo do artigo foi analisar o nível de eficiência técnica e de retorno à escala dos produtores de cana-de-açúcar no perímetro Curu-Paraipaba/CE. Os dados utilizados são de natureza secundária e foram extraídos de pesquisa direta feita por PINHEIRO (1998) no perímetro. Como metodologia de pesquisa, foi utilizada a Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA) na abordagem insumo-orientado. Dos 30 produtores analisados, 12 foram eficientes tecnicamente com retornos constantes à escala e 13 eficientes com retornos variáveis à escala, 18 foram tecnicamente ineficientes pela análise com retornos constantes à escala e 17 tecnicamente ineficientes pela ótica com retornos variáveis à escala. Observando a eficiência à escala, 5 apresentaram rendimentos decrescentes à escala e 11 rendimentos crescentes. A eficiência técnica média sob retornos constantes e variáveis à escala indica que os produtores podem reduzir em média os insumos em 18,4% e 14,5%, respectivamente, mantendo o mesmo volume de produção, caso queiram operar de forma eficiente. A eficiência à escala em média foi de 95,4% com retornos crescentes, evidenciando que o aumento da produção requer um acréscimo em menor proporção dos insumos, evidenciando que, na média, a quantidade produzida pelas unidades deverá elevar-se para que a atividade se torne tecnicamente eficiente. Para que as unidades ineficientes otimizem a produção (tornem-se eficiente), na média a área utilizada deve passar de 1,49 ha para 1,34 ha, a mão-de-obra reduzir de 69,88 h/d para 61,39 h/d, o capital investido cair de R$ 98,16 para R$ 62,42, o gasto com insumos diminuir de R$ 245,75 para R$ 131,60 e o volume de água utilizada cair de 10.927,92 m3 para 7.302,53 m3. O artigo conclui que o DEA proporcionou indicativos valiosos para a melhor alocação dos recursos utilizados na produção da cana-de-açúcar, diminuindo o uso desnecessário de fatores e subsidiando informações importantes para a otimização da produção agrícola local.

description: IEEE ED/IM/SSC and SP/EMB invited lecture that will be held online at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje on April 20, 2021 in English by Associate Professor Nadica Miljković from University of Belgrade - School of Electrical Engineering. ABSTRACT Exploration of electrical potentials in the human body has been subject of extensive scientific work and, among others, resulted in diverse clinical applications. Commonly known methods such aselectrocardiography, electromyography, and electroencephalography have been studied at a large scale, whilst a body of knowledge of properties and application of electrical biosignals such as electrohysterogram and electrogastrogram remains scarce. In this talk, origin, development, and current state of methods and applications for electrogastrography will be presented and discussed. The ability to measure and analyze electrical activity originating from the smooth stomach muscles non-invasively (surface electrogastrography) makes this method a good candidate for scientific studies and diagnostics. However, the main barriers are its low amplitude (~ 100 μV) and low frequency (~0.05 Hz) content, making the surface electrogastrogram complex to record and analyze due to its vulnerability to noise. Recently published results showed that the electrogastrogram might be measured in a dynamic environment for assessment of cybersickness making it a promising technique for further investigation and utilization. This talk will also address interesting approaches such as procedures for studying brain-stomach coupling and gut feeling as well as clinical applications.

description: We present an analytical and numerical analysis of the particle creation in an optomechanical cavity in parametric resonance. We treat both the electromagnetic field and the mirror as quantum degrees of freedom and study the dynamical evolution as a closed quantum system. We consider different initial states and investigate the spontaneous emission of photons from phonons in the mirror. We find that for initial phononic product states the evolution of the photon number can be described as a non-harmonic quantum oscillator, providing an useful tool so as to estimate the maximum and mean number of photons produced for arbitrary high energies. The efficiency of this mechanism is further analyzed for a detuned cavity as well as the possibility of stimulating the photon production by adding some initial ones to the cavity. We also find relationships for the maximum and mean entanglement between the mirror and the wall in these states. Additionally we study coherent states for the motion of the mirror to connect this model with previous results from quantum field theory with a classical mirror. Finally we study thermal states of phonons in the wall and the equilibration process that leads to a stationary distribution.

Probing Gravitation, Dark Energy, and Acceleration

description: The acceleration of the expansion of the universe arises from unknown physical processes involving either new fields in high energy physics or modifications of gravitation theory. It is crucial for our understanding to characterize the properties of the dark energy or gravity through cosmological observations and compare and distinguish between them. In fact, close consistencies exist between a dark energy equation of state function w(z) and changes to the framework of the Friedmann cosmological equations as well as direct spacetime geometry quantities involving the acceleration, such as ``geometric dark energy'' from the Ricci scalar. We investigate these interrelationships, including for the case of superacceleration or phantom energy where the fate of the universe may be more gentle than the Big Rip.

description: We report our results on non-periodic experimental time series of pressure in a single cylinder spark ignition engine. The experiments were performed for different levels of loading. We estimate the noise level in internal pressure calculating the coarse-grained entropy from variations of maximal pressures in successive cycles. The results show that the dynamics of the combustion is a nonlinear multidimensional process mediated by noise. Our results show that so defined level of noise in internal pressure is not monotonous function of loading.

description: The last ten years have opened up a new parameter space in time-domain astronomy with the discovery of transients defying our understanding of how stars explode. These extremes of the transient paradigm represent the brightest - called superluminous supernova - and the fastest - known as fast, blue optical transients - of the transient zoo. The number of their discoveries and information gained per event have witnessed an exponential growth that has benefited observational and theoretical studies. The collected dataset and the understanding of such events have surpassed any initial expectation and opened up a future exploding with potential, spanning from novel tools of high-redshift cosmological investigation to new insights into the final stages of massive stars. Here, the observational properties of extreme supernovae are reviewed and put in the context of their physics, possible progenitor scenarios and explosion mechanisms.

A Hybrid Monte Carlo Method for Surface Growth Simulations

description: We introduce an algorithm for treating growth on surfaces which combines important features of continuum methods (such as the level-set method) and Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. We treat the motion of adatoms in continuum theory, but attach them to islands one atom at a time. The technique is borrowed from the Dielectric Breakdown Model. Our method allows us to give a realistic account of fluctuations in island shape, which is lacking in deterministic continuum treatments and which is an important physical effect. Our method should be most important for problems close to equilibrium where KMC becomes impractically slow.

description: A intensificação da pesca extrativa fez com que muitos dos estoques pesqueiros locais e internacionais fossem reduzidos a patamares não sustentáveis ou simplesmente desaparecessem. Por outro lado, o consumo de pescados e frutos do mar em geral tem aumentado com o aumento da renda per capita em praticamente todos os países. Estes fenômenos resultaram em uma alta do preço destes alimentos, propiciando o desenvolvimento de tecnologias de domesticação de espécies e reprodução em cativeiro, tornando atrativa a produção por meio de aqüicultura, limitando o preço e tornando-o relativamente mais estável. Neste sentido, a produção de peixes em cativeiro configura-se como um tipo de “tecnologia de backstop”, que acontece quando se consegue substituir um recurso natural por um produto fabricável a custos constantes e oferta ilimitada, substituto próximo do recurso natural. Para as economias de alguns países emergentes e, no caso específico do Brasil, a produção a custos constantes e preços competitivos no mercado mundial pode se constituir em alternativa das mais interessantes para o país como um todo e para o Nordeste, em especial, dadas as suas vantagens naturais de que dispõe. Além de apresentar a aqüicultura sob este enfoque, este artigo mostra as possibilidades da carcinicultura em estados como Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba e Pernambuco. Introdução: a

description: Pegmolesatide, a synthetic, polyethylene-glycolylated, peptide-based erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA), has been recently approved in China. Pegmolesatide is derived from the structure of endogenous erythropoietin (EPO), a natural product in mammals. This study compared the in vitro effects and selectivity of pegmolesatide to those of recombinant EPO and carbamylated EPO (CEPO) through computer-aided analyses and biological tests. The findings indicate that pegmolesatide exhibited the same stimulating effect on erythropoiesis as EPO with fewer side effects than EPO and CEPO.

description: Além das vantagens econômicas e dos benefícios ambientais, a produção de biodiesel em larga escala será importante instrumento de geração de renda no meio rural, com impacto significativo sobre a agricultura familiar. Uma das maiores motivações para a produção desse combustível alternativo foi dado pelo governo federal por meio do “Selo Combustível Social”, que prevê que indústrias produtoras comprem matérias-primas do biodiesel oriundas da agricultura familiar. Várias são as culturas viáveis para a pequena propriedade, assim sendo, neste artigo faz-se uma análise das potencialidades de cada cultura matéria-prima de biodiesel, para serem produzidas pela agricultura familiar em pequenas e médias propriedades, nas diferentes regiões brasileiras. No estudo foi utilizada a pesquisa exploratória que visou proporcionar mais familiaridade com a questão biodiesel x agricultura familiar e envolveu levantamento bibliográfico e entrevistas a especialistas. Várias são as alternativas de cultivos com potencial agronômico positivo que podem promover a inclusão da agricultura familiar na cadeia produtiva do biodiesel, levando em consideração as especificidades de cada região brasileira, sendo as oleaginosas de maior destaque : dendê, coco, babaçu, girassol, canola, mamona, pinhão manso e gergelim.

description: We study the single impurity Anderson model (SIAM) using the equations of motion method (EOM), the non-crossing approximation (NCA), the one-crossing approximation (OCA), and Wilson's numerical renormalization group (NRG). We calculate the density of states and the linear conductance focusing on their dependence on the chemical potential and on the temperature paying special attention to the Kondo and Coulomb blockade regimes for a large range of model parameters. We report that some standard approximations based on the EOM technique display a rather unexpected poor behavior in the Coulomb blockade regime even at high temperatures. Our study offers a critical comparison between the different methods as well as a detailed compilation of the shortcomings and limitations due the approximations involved in each technique, thus allowing for a cost-benefit analysis of the different solvers that considers both numerical precision and computational performance.

Crossover from entropic to thermal dynamics in glassy models
Creators: name: Bertin, Eric M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the emergence of a crossover from entropically driven to thermally activated dynamics in different versions of the `entropic' phase space model introduced by Barrat and Mézard, and previously considered in the zero temperature limit. We first focus on the low temperature (T < Tg) aging phase of the original model and show that a short time singularity appears in the correlation function for Tg/2 < T < Tg, leading to dynamical ultrametricity at T=Tg. We then consider the finite size version of this model, showing that the long time dynamics is always thermally activated beyond a size dependent crossover time scale. We also generalize the model, introducing a threshold energy so as to mimic a phase space composed of saddles above the threshold, and minima below. In this case, the crossover time scale becomes much smaller than the equilibration time, and both kinds of aging dynamics are successively found, inducing a non trivial aging scaling which does not reduce to the usual t/tw one.
