description: We study how neutrino oscillations could probe the existence of ultralight bosonic dark matter. Three distinct signatures on neutrino oscillations are identified, depending on the mass of the dark matter and the specific experimental setup. These are time modulation signals, oscillation probability distortions due to fast modulations, and fast varying matter effects. We provide all the necessary information to perform a bottom-up, model-independent experimental analysis to probe such scenarios. Using the future DUNE experiment as an example, we estimate its sensitivity to ultralight scalar dark matter. Our results could be easily used by any other oscillation experiment.

description: The Fuji apple variety is relatively new in the U.S. As a new product, questions concern the relative impact of consumer learning by experience, by variety-specific promotion, or by generic apple promotion. A two-stage (LES/LAIDS) model incorporating both types of promotion is used to estimate the effect of generic and variety specific promotion, as well as consumer experience, on the demand for Fuji apples. Estimates show each to have a positive impact, and also show new or speciality apple varieties to be relatively price inelastic, but income elastic. Grower returns to promotion are calculated with an equilibrium displacement model of price changes and producer surplus. Changes in producer surplus provide a base-scenario benefit: cost ratio of 6.33:1.

description: As many local and state governments in the United States grapple with increasing growth pressures, the need to understand the economic and institutional factors underlying these pressures has taken on added urgency. From an economic perspective, individual land use decisions play a central role in the manifestation of growth pressures, as changes in land use pattern are the cumulative result of numerous individual decisions regarding the use of lands. In this study, the issue of growth management is addressed by developing a spatially disaggregated, microeconomic model of land conversion decisions suitable for describing residential land use change at the rural-urban fringe. The model employs parcel-level data on land use in Calvert County, Maryland, a rapidly growing rural-urban fringe county. A probabilistic model of residential land use change is estimated using a duration model, and the parameter estimates are employed to simulate possible future growth scenarios under alternative growth management scenarios. Results suggest that "smart growth" objectives are best met when policies aimed at concentrating growth in target areas are implemented in tandem with policies designed to preserve rural or open space lands.

description: In the United States' Northeastern region, there is an increasing interest in the public benefits from agriculture. These benefits are frequently referred to as multifunctional attributes. The policy challenge is to find an effective way to reflect these public demands so that multifunctional agriculture can be profitable. There is a significant research agenda that accompanies this challenge. Research topics include assessing and understanding consumer demand for multifunctional attributes, estimating the long-run returns to those production systems which supply these attributes, and designing and evaluating institutional arrangements to supply them.

description: This paper jointly models a landowner's decision to develop a parcel and the option to enroll that parcel in a current use assessment program. The analytical results highlight different factors that influence the effectiveness of a current use program in delaying development. The results also underscore the difficulty a local government might have in influencing the behavior of the landowner. Except for altering eligibility rules, a local government employing current use assessment has but two policy tools: a penalty for development and the property tax rate.

The measurements were performed below 100 mK with a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope. The tunneling density of states displays a clear superconducting gap. The temperature evolution of the order parameter follows the weak coupling BCS law with $Δ(0)/k_B T_c \simeq 1.74$. Vortex imaging at low magnetic field also reveals localized states inside the vortex core that are unexpected for such a dirty superconductor.

title:  Il bergsonismo del giovane Sartre: percezione, coscienza e immagine nella “settima arte”
Creators: name: Catalano  ,  Antonio
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2021

description: L'articolo intende discutere un saggio scritto dal giovane Sartre sul cinema nel 1924. Si tratta di una fase prematura della riflessione sartriana, ancora lontana dalla svolta fenomenologica e poi esistenzialista; il Sartre degli anni venti è ancora molto vicino a Bergson, che è il vero protagonista del saggio in questione: Apologia per il cinema. Nel cinema, Sartre individua un'arte bergsoniana, nonostante Bergson stesso critichi il cinema in Evoluzione creativa (1907). Sarà quindi interessante valutare: a) in che termini Sartre arriva molto prima di Deleuze ad estrarre un'estetica da Bergson, passando per il cinema; b) la proposta di un'insolita gerarchia delle forme di espressione artistica, che vede letteratura e teatro sottoposti al primato estetico assoluto del cinema.

Social interpretations in generalized social phobia : subtitle the influence of social development factors
Creators: name: Taylor, Charles Theodore
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Interpersonal theorists propose that developmental experiences influence people's interpretations of and reactions to contemporary social events. This study examined social interpretations in a sample of 42 patients with generalized social phobia and 42 nonclinical control participants. Participants engaged in a getting acquainted interaction with an experimental assistant whose behaviour was used to create either a positive or an ambiguous social environment. Overall, participants with social phobia did not interpret their partner's behaviour differently than did the community control group. However, some individuals with social phobia, notably those with social developmental histories marked by parental overprotection and emotional and physical abuse, did display distinct patterns of social interpretation. In addition, early social environments characterized by overprotection affected the behaviour of people with social phobia, and, in turn, their partner's liking for them. Discussion focuses on theoretical and clinical implications of the present findings within the context of an interpersonal perspective on social phobia.

description: Based on our recent three-dimensional core-collapse supernova (CCSN) simulations including both exploding and non-exploding models, we study the detailed neutrino signals in representative terrestrial neutrino observatories, Super-Kamiokande (Hyper-Kamiokande), DUNE, JUNO, and IceCube. We find that the physical origin of difference in the neutrino signals between 1D and 3D is mainly proto-neutron-star (PNS) convection. We study the temporal and angular variations of the neutrino signals and discuss the detectability of the time variations driven by the spiral Standing Accretion Shock Instability (spiral SASI) when it emerges for non-exploding models. In addition, we determine that there can be a large angular asymmetry in the event rate ($\gtrsim 50 \%$), but that the time-integrated signal has a relatively modest asymmetry ($\lesssim 20 \%$). Both features are associated with the lepton-number emission self-sustained asymmetry (LESA) and the spiral SASI. Moreover, our analysis suggests that there is an interesting correlation between the total neutrino energy (TONE) and the cumulative number of neutrino events in each detector, a correlation that can facilitate data analyses of real observations. We demonstrate the retrieval of neutrino energy spectra for all flavors of neutrino by applying a novel spectrum reconstruction technique to the data from multiple detectors. We find that this new method is capable of estimating the TONE within the error of $\sim$20\% if the distance to the CCSN is $\lesssim 6$ kpc.

Subjects: Land Economics/Use

description: This paper analyzes in three contexts the effects of changing economic conditions and varying economic perspectives on the way land is considered in economic doctrine. The first considers agricultural land use where agriculture is connected to the rest of the economy exclusively through input and commodity markets, and when all other parts of the economy are assumed to remain constant. The second connects agriculture to the remainder of the economy by virtue of a shared natural environment, facilitating a discussion of natural resource and environmental economics in relation to agricultural, institutional, and land economics. The third context permits economic change in the entire economy with particular attention given to population density, space, and distance. Private and public decision making are discussed with attention to federal, state, and local division of powers.

 General distribution. Indo-West Pacific from the Red Sea, Arabian Gulf and Madagascar to Japan, Samoa and Australia (Sakai 2006; Sepahvand et al. 2013; present study).
 Ecology. Largely intertidal and shallow subtidal; mixed rocky-sandy shores with mud and shell fragments; typically, in complex ramified burrows in clay, mud/sand or limestone rocks (Sepahvand et al. 2013, 2014; present study).
 Remarks. The single specimen from Kuwait corresponds well to U. carinicauda, as defined by Sakai (2006). The main diagnostic features of the species are the dorsal surface of the telson bearing an elevated, sharp, transverse carina that connects to two blunt, lateral, longitudinal carinae (Fig. 10B); the presence of four teeth on the distal margin of the rostrum (one of them obsolete in the Kuwaiti specimen) and a single infra-rostral tooth; the presence of a conspicuous sharp tooth on the ventromesial surface of the cheliped propodus; and the dactylus being almost twice as long as the propodus. However, we believe that some synonymies proposed by Sakai (2006), for instance that of U. rupicola Komai, 2005, may need a re-assessment (see also Ngoc-Ho 2008; Komai et al. 2020).

description: A fast radio burst (FRB) was recently detected to be associated with a hard X-ray burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154. Scenarios involving magnetars for FRBs are hence highly favored. In this work, we suggest that the impact between an asteroid and a magnetar could explain such a detection. According to our calculations, an asteroid of mass $10^{20}$ g will be disrupted at a distance of $7 \times 10^9$ cm when approaching the magnetar. The accreted material will flow along the magnetic field lines from the Alfvén radius $\sim 10^7$ cm. After falling onto the magnetar's surface, an instant accretion column will be formed, producing a Comptonized X-ray burst and an FRB in the magnetosphere. We show that all the observational features of FRB 200428 could be interpreted self-consistently in this scenario. We predict quasi-periodic oscillations in this specific X-ray burst, which can serve as an independent observational test.

Guest charges in an electrolyte: renormalized charge, long- and short-distance behavior of the electric potential and density profile

description: We complement a recent exact study by L. Samaj on the properties of a guest charge $Q$ immersed in a two-dimensional electrolyte with charges $+1/-1$. In particular, we are interested in the behavior of the density profiles and electric potential created by the charge and the electrolyte, and in the determination of the renormalized charge which is obtained from the long-distance asymptotics of the electric potential. In Samaj's previous work, exact results for arbitrary coulombic coupling $β$ were obtained for a system where all the charges are points, provided $βQ<2$ and $β< 2$. Here, we first focus on the mean field situation which we believe describes correctly the limit $β\to 0$ but $βQ$ large. In this limit we can study the case when the guest charge is a hard disk and its charge is above the collapse value $βQ>2$. We compare our results for the renormalized charge with the exact predictions and we test on a solid ground some conjectures of the previous study. Our study shows that the exact formulas obtained by Samaj for the renormalized charge are not valid for $βQ>2$, contrary to a hypothesis put forward by Samaj. We also determine the short-distance asymptotics of the density profiles of the coions and counterions near the guest charge, for arbitrary coulombic coupling. We show that the coion density profile exhibit a change of behavior if the guest charge becomes large enough ($βQ\geq 2-β$). This is interpreted as a first step of the counterion condensation (for large coulombic coupling), the second step taking place at the usual Manning--Oosawa threshold $βQ=2$.

Year: 2003
Subjects: Land Economics/Use

description: Economists increasingly face opportunities to collaborate with ecologists on landscape-level analyses of socioeconomic and ecological processes. This often calls for developing empirical models to project land use change as input into ecological models. Providing ecologists with the land use information they desire can present many challenges regarding data, modeling, and econometrics. This paper provides an overview of the relatively recent adaptation of economics-based land use modeling methods toward greater spatial specificity desired in integrated research with ecologists. Practical issues presented by data, modeling, and econometrics are highlighted, followed by an example based on a multidisciplinary landscape-level analysis in Oregon's Coast Range mountains.

Two mechanisms of formation of this photoresistance have been revealed. The first mechanism is due to transitions between the dispersion branches of edge current states, whereas the second mechanism is caused by the action of radiation on the bulk of the quantum well.

 Material examined. Kuwait: 1 male, 3 females, OUMNH. ZC. 2020.01.035, Failaka Island, eastern side, intertidal, in sponges, leg. A. Zhadan et al., 01.xii.2019; 1 male, 1 female, MNHN-IU-2019-3218, Failaka Island, eastern side, intertidal, in hard yellow sponge (piece of host preserved in ethanol), leg. A. Anker et al., 12.ii.2020 [fcn FA-008].
 General distribution. Indo-West Pacific, ranging from East Africa, Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf to Thailand, Indonesia and Australia (Ngoc-Ho 1990; Sakai 2006; Sepahvand et al. 2013).
 Ecology. Lower intertidal and shallow subtidal; associated with sponges, including a “hard-on-touch” yellow sponge, which is fairly common on lower rocky intertidal shores of Failaka Island in Kuwait (Fig. 12D).
 Remarks. Ngoc-Ho (1990) revised a small group of species allied to U. darwinii (Miers, 1884), recognising U. hexaceras (Ortmann, 1894) and U. octoceras as two species distinct from U. darwinii. However, Sakai (1993, 2006) considered both U. hexaceras and U. octoceras as junior synonyms of U. darwinii, providing a lengthy discussion on the invalid status of these two taxa in his second study. Ngoc-Ho (2008) did not agree with Sakai’s (2006) opinion and treated U. hexaceras as a valid species, without commenting specificially on the status of U. octoceras. All subsequent records of a sponge-dwelling species from the U. darwinii species complex from the Arabian Gulf were listed under U. darwinii (e.g. Naderloo & Türkay 2012; Sepahvand et al. 2013). However, a recent reassessment of U. hexaceras by Komai et al. (2020) showed that it is indeed different from U. darwinii. The Kuwaiti specimens (Fig. 11) match U. octoceras, as redefined by Ngoc-Ho (1990), in most morphological characteristics (cf. Ngoc-Ho 1990: table 3). Therefore, we tentatively follow Ngoc-Ho’s (1990) taxonomy, recognising U. octoceras as distinct from U. darwinii, although we feel that a molecular study of the U. darwinii species complex is needed to further clarify or confirm the taxonomic status of U. hexaceras and U. octoceras.

description: The rural public may not only be concerned with the consequences of land management; residents may also have systematic preferences for policy instruments applied to management goals. Preferences for outcomes do not necessarily imply matching support for the underlying policy process. This study assesses relationships among support for elements of the policy process and preferences for management outcomes. Preferences are examined within the context of alternative proposals to manage growth and conserve landscape attributes in southern New England. Results are based on (a) stated preferences estimated from a multi-attribute contingent choice survey of rural residents, and (b) Likert-scale assessment of strength of support for land use policy tools. Findings indicate general but not universal correlation among policy support indicators and preferences for associated land use outcomes, but also confirm the suspicion that policy support and land use preference may not always coincide.
Close binary systems among very low mass stars and brown dwarfs

description: Using Monte Carlo simulations and published radial velocity surveys we have constrained the frequency and separation (a) distribution of very low mass star (VLM) and brown dwarf (BD) binary systems. We find that simple Gaussian extensions of the observed wide binary distribution, with a peak at 4 au and 0.6< sigma_{log(a/au)}<1.0, correctly reproduce the observed number of close binary systems, implying a close (a<2.6 au) binary frequency of 17-30 per cent and overall frequency of 32-45 per cent. N-body models of the dynamical decay of unstable protostellar multiple systems are excluded with high confidence because they do not produce enough close binary VLMs/BDs. The large number of close binaries and high overall binary frequency are also completely inconsistent with published smoothed particle hydrodynamical modelling and argue against a dynamical origin for VLMs/BDs.

Analyzing the dominant SARS-CoV-2 transmission routes towards an ab initio SEIR model

description: Identifying the relative importance of the different transmission routes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is an urgent research priority. To that end, the different transmission routes, and their role in determining the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic are analyzed in this work. Probability of infection caused by inhaling virus-laden droplets (initial, ejection diameters between $0.5-750μm$) and the corresponding desiccated nuclei that mostly encapsulate the virions post droplet evaporation, are individually calculated. At typical, air-conditioned yet quiescent indoor space, for average viral loading, cough droplets of initial diameter between $10-50 μm$ have the highest infection probability. However, by the time they are inhaled, the diameters reduce to about $1/6^{th}$ of their initial diameters. While the initially near unity infection probability due to droplets rapidly decays within the first $25s$, the small yet persistent infection probability of desiccated nuclei decays appreciably only by $\mathcal{O} (1000s)$, assuming the virus sustains equally well within the dried droplet nuclei as in the droplets. Combined with molecular collision theory adapted to calculate frequency of contact between the susceptible population and the droplet/nuclei cloud, infection rate constants are derived ab-initio, leading to a SEIR model applicable for any respiratory event - vector combination. Viral load, minimum infectious dose, sensitivity of the virus half-life to the phase of its vector and dilution of the respiratory jet/puff by the entraining air are shown to mechanistically determine specific physical modes of transmission and variation in the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0$, from first principle calculations.

description: An intertemporal reduced form model is estimated for boxed beef, carcass, and slaughter prices on a weekly basis. The results indicate that prices respond jointly to changes in economic information within weeks t and t - 1, supporting time-series studies showing farm and wholesale prices to be nearly instantaneously related. However, the existence of market uncertainty entails significant intertemporal lags, revealed by prices stabilizing 9-14 weeks subsequent to a market shock. The model results imply that postponing marketings of fed cattle to capitalize on expected price advantages would be risky and that selling cattle carcass grade and weight is more favorable when prices respond to increases in beef production.
DUALITY, OPTIMIZATION, AND MICROECONOMIC THEORY: PITFALLS FOR THE APPLIED RESEARCHER

description: This article graphically illustrates the one-to-one duality mapping among the production function, the product supply equation, the derived factor demand equation, and the indirect profit function for the classical profit maximization problem. This pedagogical framework is then used to illustrate how empirical application of conventional duality theory can lead to distorted empirical results if the theory (e.g. Hotelling's lemma) does not apply because the firm is not a profit maximizer or because envelope results from the wrong optimization model are used. Although the presentation is in terms of profit maximization, the basic concepts can be extended to other maintained behavioral hypotheses such as cost minimization or utility maximization. Plausible reasons why a firm, even in a competitive market, may not behave according to the neoclassical maximization paradigm are briefly reviewed.

description: Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo entender como é realizada a preservação digital de obras de arte telemáticas, em decorrência de sua especificidade interativa, aqui com foco também nas produções artísticas que se utilizam de sistemas de Inteligência Artificial. A discussão realizada sobre esta especificidade artística, possível na interseção dos campos de arte, ciência e tecnologia, parte das pesquisas de Roy Ascott e outros especialistas no campo (como Gilbertto Prado, Eduardo Kac, Michael Hohl, Scot Deal, entre outros), de maneira a compreender suas características que apresentam problemas para o seu fazer preservacionista. Um estudo realizado na dimensão digital do campo de preservação é feito para possibilitar o entendimento de como tais dificuldades apresentadas por estas obras podem ser, ou não, superadas. Para isso foi realizada uma discussão dos conceitos relevantes a esta dissertação, sendo eles: arte telemática, interatividade, Inteligência Artificial e preservação digital. Além disso, nesta dissertação foi realizado um estudo de caso da obra Desertesejo (2000/2014), do artista Gilbertto Prado, parte da coleção “Arte Cibernética”, do acervo do Instituto Itaú Cultural, para compreender como é realizada, dentro de uma instituição museal, a preservação dessa especificidade aqui abordada. This research aims to understand the processes of digital preservation of telematic artworks, due to its interactive specificity, also focusing on those that make use of Artificial Intelligence systems. The discussion generated on this artistic specificity, possible by the intersection of the fields of art, science and technology, are based on Roy Ascott’s research, alongside other specialists in the field (such as Gilbertto Prado, Eduardo Kac, Michael Hohl, Scot Deal, amongst others), in order to better understand the characteristics that present problems to its preservation. A study is done on the digital aspect of the preservation field, to enable a better understanding of the difficulties presented by such artworks and whether or not they can be overcome. In order to reach this goal, a discussion was made regarding the concepts that are relevant to this dissertation, those being: telematic art, interactivity, Artificial Intelligence and digital preservation. A case study was also done as part of this research on the artwork Desertesejo (2000/2014), by artist Gilbertto Prado, part of the “Cibernetic Art” compilation, of the collection of Instituto Itaú Cultural, in order to comprehend how the preservation of the specificity that this research is focused on is done inside a museum.
title:  Tra il possibile e l’impossibile. L’etica sartriana negli scritti del ’64-‘65
Creators: name: Adinolfi  ,  Ciro
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2021

description: In questo saggio, che costituisce un estratto di uno studio più lungo sviluppato nella tesi di dottorato, esamineremo gli scritti etici di Sartre della metà degli anni sessanta. Lungi dall'essere una semplice quantità di appunti dispersi, queste pagine ("recentemente" pubblicate in francese, inedite in italiano) provano che l'etica era una preoccupazione concreta nella filosofia sartriana, anche dopo l'abbandono dell'etica "borghese" scritta nel '47-'48. Ci concentreremo sul lato metafisico di questi testi, sottolineando il loro sforzo di creare un'etica della libertà basata sulla dialettica della prassi tra il possibile e l'impossibile, che Sartre deriva da alcune intuizioni di Marx. Se l'autonomia dell'agente storico è il nucleo di questo sistema normativo, argomentiamo che la libertà rimane il vero e unico problema della filosofia sartriana. Per dimostrare questa continuità nel pensiero sartriano, cercheremo anche di ritrovare questi temi nelle opere capitali precedenti. Infine, sarà possibile comprendere questi testi come un punto di partenza per una futura etica esistenzialista, radicata nei bisogni attuali dell'umanità.

Rapidity Spectra of the Secondaries Produced in Heavy Ion Collisions and the Constituent Picture of the Particles

description: The present study is both a reanalysis and an extension of the approach initiated by Eremin and Voloshin(referenced in the text). We attempt to interpret here the rapidity-spectra of the various particles produced in both $Pb+Pb$ and $Au+Au$ collisions at CERN-SPS and RHIC-BNL. The study made here is wider in scope and is more species-specific than the earlier ones for which the results obtained here have been compared with those suggested by some previous works based on HIJING, VENUS etc, at various centralities. The study reconfirms that the constituent parton picture of the particles provides a better and more unified description of the rapidity-density yields for the various secondaries, including some light cluster particles like deuteron even in heavy ion collisions.
