description: We present examples of Padé approximation of the $α$-effect and eddy viscosity/diffusivity tensors in various flows. Expressions for the tensors derived in the framework of the standard multiscale formalism are employed. Algebraically the simplest case is that of a two-dimensional parity-invariant six-fold rotation-symmetric flow, where eddy viscosity is negative, indicating intervals of large-scale instability of the flow. Turning to the kinematic dynamo problem for three-dimensional flows of an incompressible fluid, we explore application of Padé approximants for computation of tensors of magnetic $α$-effect and, for parity-invariant flows, of magnetic eddy diffusivity. We construct Padé approximants of the tensors expanded in power series in the inverse molecular diffusivity $1/η$ around $1/η=0$. This yields the values of the dominant growth rate due to the action of the $α$-effect or eddy diffusivity to satisfactory accuracy for $η$, several dozen times smaller than the threshold, above which the power series is convergent. For one sample flow, we observe eddy diffusivity tending to negative infinity when $η$ tends from above to the point of the onset of small-scale dynamo action in a symmetry-invariant subspace where a neutral small-scale magnetic mode resides. However, 49 first coefficients in the power series in $1/η$ prove insufficient for Padé approximants to reproduce this behaviour. We do computations in Fortran in the standard `double' (real*8) and extended `quadruple' (real*16) precision, as well as perform symbolic calculations in Mathematica.

description: The rationality of land use structure was evaluated with dynamic TOPSIS method based on changing data of land use from 2008 to 2011 in the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan area. The results showed that during 2008- 2011, the rationality of land use structure was totally high, the dynamic value hi of Changsha, Zhuzhou, Xiangtan and the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan area was 0.7954, 0.7821, 0.8245 and 0.8186, respectively; the value Ci (tk) reflecting the rationality of land use structure at different time points was rapidly increased, and the gap between regions was not big and shrinking. According to the grey relational analysis, the change of different land use types had different effects on the rationality of land use structure: transportation land, the land for cities, towns and villages and the land for mining and industry are most highly correlated with the rationality of land use structure, while arable land, woodland, water area and water conservancy facility land have also an important impact on the rationality of land use structure; controlling the excessive growth of transportation land, the land for cities, towns and villages and the land for mining and industry, protecting arable land, forest land, water area and water conservancy facility land, and moderately increasing the garden plot, plays a decisive role in optimizing the land use structure in the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan area.

description: This study demonstrates the development of effective modified films for As(III) removal from aqueous solution. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were grafted by c (Sty/MAn) co-monomer using gamma irradiation. The grafted films were functionalized by six amine groups including semicarbazide, L-aspartic acid, 2-aminopyridine, thiosemicarbazide, hydroxylamine-HCl, and thiourea. The grafting was verified using FTIR that shows MAn carbonyl groups at 1860 and 1785 cm−1. The semicarbazide and L-aspartic acid functionalized films showed 100% and 75% removal efficiency, respectively, following the conditions of pH 7, 50 µg/mL As(III), 50 min contact time, and room temperature. The As(III) loaded chelating films treated with semicarbazide and L-aspartic acid were regenerated by contacting the films with 0.2 mol/L HCl solution for 90 min. The results show 100% release of the adsorbed As(III). The FTIR analysis of the regenerated films showed no change in the characteristic peaks, indicating the stability of film functionality in 0.2 mol/L HCl for 90 min. Additionally, the removal of As(III) using the regenerated films treated with semicarbazide or L-aspartic showed unaffected removal percentage up to eight adsorption-desorption regeneration cycles.

description: Several interesting Dark Matter (DM) models invoke a dark sector leading to two types of relic particles, possibly interacting with each other: non-relativistic DM, and relativistic Dark Radiation (DR). These models have interesting consequences for cosmological observables, and could in principle solve problems like the small-scale cold DM crisis, Hubble tension, and/or low $σ_8$ value. Their cosmological behaviour is captured by the ETHOS parametrisation, which includes a DR-DM scattering rate scaling like a power-law of the temperature, $T^n$. Scenarios with $n=0$, $2$, or $4$ can easily be realised in concrete dark sector set-ups. Here we update constraints on these three scenarios using recent CMB, BAO, and high-resolution Lyman-$α$ data. We introduce a new Lyman-$α$ likelihood that is applicable to a wide range of cosmological models with a suppression of the matter power spectrum on small scales. For $n=2$ and $4$, we find that Lyman-$α$ data strengthen the CMB+BAO bounds on the DM-DR interaction rate by many orders of magnitude. However, models offering a possible solution to the missing satellite problem are still compatible with our new bounds. For $n=0$, high-resolution Lyman-$α$ data bring no stronger constraints on the interaction rate than CMB+BAO data, except for extremely small values of the DR density. Using CMB+BAO data and a theory-motivated prior on the minimal density of DR, we find that the $n=0$ model can reduce the Hubble tension from $4.1σ$ to $2.7σ$, while simultaneously accommodating smaller values of the $σ_8$ and $S_8$ parameters hinted by cosmic shear data.

description: In this paper, on the basis of analyzing farmers' dominant position in society and explanation of farmers’ rationality, we make use of Maslow’s hierarchy theory of needs to divide farmers’ needs into three levels in accordance with the different stages: survival needs, interpersonal harmony and social responsibility, which are the needs hierarchies for farmers to satisfy themselves. We combine Maslow’s hierarchy theory of needs and farmers’ rationality and confirm that farmers do have rationality and it is in a dynamic condition.

description: The pollution characteristics of Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ni and Hg in agricultural soil around coal mining area were studied. After long-term mining activity, the soil around mining area was polluted by 6 elements to different degrees. Especially for Cd, its concentration was 3.2 times that of the National Soil Environmental Quality Standard Ⅱ. The values suggest that the contamination degree from strong to weak in soil is in the order of Hg>Cu>Cr>Zn>Ni>Cd. BCR sequential extraction results show that the order of average percentage about weak acid soluble fraction (F1) is that Cd>Ni>Zn>Cu>Hg>Cr, the order of 6 heavy metals available fraction (F1+F2+F3) is that Cu (56.89)>Cd (50.95)>Ni (41.52)>Zn (35.06)>Hg (23.04)>Cr (4.88). The RAC results indicate that soils were in a moderate potential ecological risk by pollution of Cd, and at the same time, Cu, Zn, Ni, Hg should be noted.

description: The Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian has no well-defined variational derivative with respect to the metric. This issue has to be tackled by adding a suitable surface term to the action, which is a peculiar feature of gravity. We also know that null surfaces in spacetime exhibit (observer-dependent) thermodynamic features. This suggests a possible thermodynamic interpretation of the boundary term when the boundary is a null surface. For timelike/spacelike surfaces it is easy to construct the boundary term but there are some subtleties in the case of the null surface. The correct form of boundary term for null surfaces was obtained recently from first principles. We show that this surface term, as well as its variation, have direct thermodynamic interpretation in terms of a heat density of null surfaces. The implications of the result are discussed.

Mass Terms in Effective Theories of High Density Quark Matter

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the structure of mass terms in the effective theory for quasi-particles in QCD at high baryon density. To next-to-leading order in the $1/p_F$ expansion we find two types of mass terms, chirality conserving two-fermion operators and chirality violating four-fermion operators. In the effective chiral theory for Goldstone modes in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase the former terms correspond to effective chemical potentials, while the latter lead to Lorentz invariant mass terms. We compute the masses of Goldstone bosons in the CFL phase, confirming earlier results by Son and Stephanov as well as Bedaque and Schäfer. We show that to leading order in the coupling constant $g$ there is no anti-particle gap contribution to the mass of Goldstone modes, and that our results are independent of the choice of gauge.

Transitioning India's Public Expenditure in Agriculture towards Higher Growth and Equity

description: The study aimed to develop broader series of public expenditures and investments impacting growth of agriculture and allied sectors and explored how sectoral and regional priorities of agricultural investments had responded to the national priorities by tracing their growth linkages. The study indicated that following a period of stagnation in the 1990s, public expenditure on agriculture and allied sectors has stepped up in the mid-2000 decade. Further, the broad observations do not corroborate the idea of neglecting marginal agro-eco-regions as far as public investment in agricultural research is concerned. However, higher infrastructure and agricultural research investment priority should be given to relatively backward states of eastern India, as the region still has poor infrastructure and higher concentration of subsistence producers which make private sector hesitant to invest. Enhanced public investment is justified to strengthen infrastructure and also attract private investment leading to high pay-offs as the region is well endowed with natural resources. The other issue relates to prioritisation of public resources towards those sectors and regions where presence of market failures or core distributional concerns exists. The public resources should increasingly be deployed to produce goods and services that are not produced by market actors. The rising government spending under revenue account on agri-inputs and farm support services can also have a crowding-out effect on private investment. Studies have shown that the biggest payoffs for reducing rural poverty and increasing growth came from investments in R&D and infrastructure and that too from backward regions. These investments must, therefore, be treated as a composite strategy for rural development and a sustained step-up in investments should be maintained in order to benefit agriculture, given that the benefits from these investments tend to materialise after a considerable time lag. The policy shift towards raising capital expenditure in rural infrastructure and irrigation would translate into economic gains only, if it is backed by responsive institutions as they form part of the enabling environment for private investment.

description: Mitral valve regurgitation is the most common valvular disease, affecting 10% of the population over 75 years old. Left untreated, patients with mitral valve regurgitation can suffer declining cardiac health until cardiac failure and death. Mitral valve repair is generally preferred over valve replacement. However, there is a direct correlation between the volume of cases performed and surgical outcomes, therefore there is a demand for the ability of surgeons to practice repairs on patient specific models in advance of surgery. This work demonstrates a semi-automated segmentation method to enable fast and accurate modelling of the mitral valve that captures patient-specific valve geometry. This modelling approach utilizes 3D active contours in a user-in-the-loop system which segments first the atrial blood pool, then the mitral leaflets. In a group of 15 mitral valve repair patients, valve segmentation and modelling attains an overall accuracy (mean absolute surface distance) of 1.40+-0.26 mm, and an accuracy of 1.01+-0.13 mm when only comparing the extracted leaflet surface proximal to the ultrasound probe. Thus this image-based segmentation tool has the potential to improve the workflow for extracting patient-specific mitral valve geometry for 3D modelling of the valve.

Regional Disparities in Profitability of Rice Production: Where Small Farmers Stand?

subject: Farmer’s distress.

description: Economic liberalisation policies introduced since the early 1990s helped in accelerating growth of the economy, but it also increased farmers’ distress especially among marginal and small farmers in the backward states. The accelerated farm mechanisation, increased share of purchased inputs, fluctuation in prices and higher wage rates increased the vulnerability of small farmers than large farmers. In this context, historical inverse relationship between farm size and productivity has changed into positive one, with larger farms getting the advantage of large scale mechanisation and technology. The paper revisits the farm size and productivity debate at the state level by using unit level data of cost of cultivation for rice crop. The paper has found that, there is convergence of yield of rice across states mainly helped by convergence in fertiliser, irrigation and farm machinery use. However, there was widening gap between bottom 25 per cent and top 25 per cent (based on farm size) of the farmers in terms of yields, gross returns, profitability. The condition of tenant-small farmers was more precarious due to high land rents (50 per cent of total cost). The share of loss making farms is 17 per cent among bottom 25 per cent of the farmers compared to only 3 per cent among top 25 per cent of the farmers. The distress of small farms is aggravated by higher risk in profitability. Most of the farmers in states like Punjab, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat are getting reasonable profits, while farmers of Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Assam, Bihar and Orissa are earning meagre profits. Use of modern inputs (farm machinery use and fertiliser use) helped in increasing profitability, while use of traditional inputs (animal labour and manure) are associated with losses. There was a convergence in the use of modern inputs across states, which have the potential to reduce inter-state disparities in profits and yields. The regression results show that there was a positive relation between farm size and profitability after controlling for state structural variables and input use.

description: The change of the electromagnetic field in a particular place due to the event of a change in the motion of a charged particle can occur only after the light signal from the event can reach this place. Naive calculations of the electromagnetic energy and the work performed by the electromagnetic fields might lead to paradoxes of apparent non-conservation of energy. A few paradoxes of this type for a simple motion of two charges are presented and resolved in a quantitative way providing deeper insight into various relativistic effects in the classical electromagnetic theory.

description: The performance of land surface models (LSMs) significantly affects the understanding of atmospheric and related processes. Many of the LSMs' soil and vegetation parameters were unknown so that it is crucially important to efficiently optimize them. Here I present a globally applicable and computationally efficient method for parameter optimization and uncertainty assessment of the LSM by combining Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) with machine learning. First, I performed the long-term (decadal scales) ensemble simulation of the LSM, in which each ensemble member has different parameters' values, and calculated the gap between simulation and observation, or the cost function, for each ensemble member. Second, I developed the statistical machine learning based surrogate model, which is computationally cheap but accurately mimics the relationship between parameters and the cost function, by applying the Gaussian process regression to learn the model simulation. Third, we applied MCMC by repeatedly driving the surrogate model to get the posterior probabilistic distribution of parameters. Using satellite passive microwave brightness temperature observations, both synthetic and real-data experiments in the Sahel region of west Africa were performed to optimize unknown soil and vegetation parameters of the LSM. The primary findings are (1) the proposed method is 50,000 times as fast as the direct application of MCMC to the full LSM; (2) the skill of the LSM to simulate both soil moisture and vegetation dynamics can be improved; (3) I successfully quantify the characteristics of equifinality by obtaining the full non-parametric probabilistic distribution of parameters.

description: To investigate the relationship between the charge redistribution and ferromagnetism at the heterointerface between perovskite transition-metal oxides LaNiO$_3$ (LNO) and LaMnO$_3$ (LMO), we performed x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements. In the LNO/LMO heterostructures with asymmetric charge redistribution, the electrons donated from Mn to Ni ions are confined within one monolayer (ML) of LNO at the interface, whereas holes are distributed over 3-4 ML on the LMO side. A detailed analysis of the Ni-$L_{2,3}$ and Mn-$L_{2,3}$ XMCD spectra reveals that Ni magnetization is induced only by the Ni$^{2+}$ ions in the 1 ML LNO adjacent to the interface, while the magnetization of Mn ions is increased in the 3-4 ML LMO of the interfacial region. The characteristic length scale of the emergent (increased) interfacial ferromagnetism of the LNO (LMO) layers is in good agreement with that of the charge distribution across the interface, indicating a close relationship between the charge redistribution due to the interfacial charge transfer and the ferromagnetism of the LNO/LMO interface. Furthermore, the XMCD spectra clearly demonstrate that the vectors of induced magnetization of both ions are aligned ferromagnetically, suggesting that the delicate balance between the exchange interactions occurring inside each layer and across the interface may induce the canted ferromagnetism of Ni$^{2+}$ ions, resulting in weak magnetization in the 1 ML LNO adjacent to the interface.

Vincentian literature in the era of independence 1940-1980
Creators: name: Thomas, Loraine

Year: 2025

description: This thesis provides an original mapping of literature written by authors associated with the island nation of St Vincent and the Grenadines. To date, there has been minimal systematic research dedicated to the nation’s literary output. This thesis plugs that gap and highlights the work of little-known authors from the islands, establishing a history of Vincentian literature from 1940-1980. It offers a critical examination of the idea of a Vincentian literary tradition and its place within wider cultural contexts. The topic was investigated by excavating key literary archives: the BBC Archives of Caribbean Voices; the Henry Swanzy files at the University of Birmingham; the George Padmore Institute; Eric and Jessica Huntley’s Papers, London Metropolitan Archives and National Archives St Vincent and the Grenadines for the production of writing from locally produced little magazines.Using archival theory, Chapters One and Two address ideas of archival absence and presence in relation to the global literary marketplace and outline the compromised dynamics surrounding the marketability and preservation of texts. I then examine the island’s first published novel in Chapter Three so as to analyse the role of women during the era of independence and to demonstrate how the use of Creole in Vincentian literature proves vital to establishing national identity. A case is made that Vincentian literature during the period under discussion becomes increasingly political in reflection of a burgeoning national consciousness. Chapter Four draws attention to the effects of the Black Power Movement and radical Marxist Black Politics on Vincentian writers, while emphasising the significance of youth voices to political debates in the lead up to Vincentian independence. There is a marked difference, this thesis argues, between Vincentian literature and movements of the 1970s when compared with those that took place in the region during the prior decade. Finally, Chapter Five provides a case study and literary reading of the islands’ foremost female poet. It shows how material conditions, alongside gendered expectations driven by colonially inflected respectability politics, continued to impact upon Caribbean women’s right to write.
QCD Duality and the Mass of the Charm Quark

description: The mass of the charm quark is analyzed in the context of QCD finite energy sum rules using recent BESII e+e- annihilation data and a large momentum expansion of the QCD correlator which incorporates terms to order (alpha_s)^2 (m_c^2/q^2)^6. Using various versions of duality, we obtain the consistent result m_c(m_c)=(1.37 +- 0.09)GeV. Our result is quite independent of the ones based on the inverse moment analysis.

description: Government subsidy programs incentivize livestock managers to adopt best management practices (BMPs), such as rotational grazing, water tank systems, stream crossings, and pasture improvement to prevent or reduce soil erosion. This paper addresses the challenge of integrating socio-economic data on BMP adoption behavior with hydrologic/biophysical models to analyze the association between incentives, BMP adoption, and changes in soil erosion rates. Using primary survey data of livestock producers in an East Tennessee watershed, this research estimates willingness to adopt BMPs among livestock producers. The propensity to adopt one or multiple management technologies, given an incentive, is estimated with a multivariate probit regression. The likelihood producers adopt one or a combination of practices is then integrated into the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrologic model to generate soil loss abatement curves for the watershed. Abatement curves specific to each hydrologic response unit (HRU) comprising the watershed are estimated and then aggregated to determine an aggregate abatement curve for the watershed. Based on the abatement curves, HRU are ranked according to cost efficiency.

description: We use the method of light-cone sum rules to study decay properties of $P$-wave bottom baryons belonging to the $SU(3)$ flavor $\mathbf{6}_F$ representation. In Ref.~\cite{Cui:2019dzj} we have studied their mass spectrum and pionic decays, and found that the $Σ_{b}(6097)$ and $Ξ_{b}(6227)$ can be well interpreted as $P$-wave bottom baryons of $J^P = 3/2^-$. In this paper we further study their decays into ground-state bottom baryons and vector mesons. We propose to search for a new state $Ξ_b({5/2}^-)$, that is the $J^P = 5/2^-$ partner state of the $Ξ_{b}(6227)$, in the $Ξ_b({5/2}^-) \to Ξ_b^{*}ρ\to Ξ_b^{*}ππ$ decay process. Its mass is $12 \pm 5$~MeV larger than that of the $Ξ_{b}(6227)$.
