description: When the present value of the assets held by creditors ma firm is not fully recoverable within a reasonable time period, the firm is termed insolvent. Takmg net foreign exchange earnings as receipts and debt service payments as expenditures, this measure of solvency may be applied to the analysis of the creditworthiness of major debtor countries, with the modification that, for a country to be deemed solvent, a principal reschedulingcum- interest deferral scheme must not result (5 years later) in a significantly higher probabiltty of havtng to reschedule. Empirical analysis of several major debtor countries using this methodology leads to the conclusion that interest payments from some countries will not be recoverable (under any feasible scheme to retain the present' value of the debt) without persistent recession. Instead, the prospect for these countries is ltkely to be a pattern of chronic mability to meet debt service obligations and of stagnating or falling gross domestic product.

description: The study was conducted in 2010 to assess the profitability or otherwise of cattle marketing in Gombe, Gombe state, Nigeria. Data were collected using structured interview-schedule from 40 randomly selected cattle traders and were analyzed using budgeting technique. Results showed that the net income of small, medium and large size cattle was N6, 438.69, N11, 056.25 and N16, 474.64 per cattle respectively. Similarly, the respective values of gross return per each Naira invested were 1.18, 1.16 and 1.14 respectively while those of gross ratio were found to be 0.845, 0.846 and 0.876. On the other hand, average net income accrued to each trader per trading cycle were N19, 036.09, N 27, 215.39 and N 56, 837.50 for small, medium and large size categories of cattle, respectively. Thus, cattle marketing in the area were profitable and therefore recommended as an economic venture.

description: (Abridged) This is the second in a series of three papers which present and interpret basic observational data on the 6C* 151-MHz radio sample: a low-frequency selected sample which exploits filtering criteria based on radio properties (steep spectral index and small angular size) to find radio sources at redshift z > 4 within a 0.133sr patch of sky. We present results of a programme of optical spectroscopy which has yielded redshifts in the range 0.5 < z < 4.4 for the 29 sources in the sample, all but six of which are secure. We find that the fil tering criteria used for 6C* are very effective in excluding the low-redshift, low-luminosity radio sources: the median redshift of 6C* is z~1.9 compared to z~1.1 for a complete sample matched in 151-MHz flux density. By combining the emission-line dataset for the 6C* radio sources with those for the 3CRR, 6CE and 7CRS samples we establish that z > 1.75 radio galaxies follow a rough proportionality between Lyalpha- and 151 MHz-luminosity which, like similar correlations seen in samples of lower-redshift radio sources, are indicative of a primary link between the power in the source of the photoionising photons (most likely a hidden quasar nucleus) and the power carried by the radio jets. We argue that radio sources modify their environments and that the range of emission-line properties seen is determined more by the range of source age than by the range in ambient environment. This is in accord with the idea that all high-redshift, high-luminosity radio sources are triggered in similar environments, presumably recently collapsed massive structures.

description: Recent experiments have shown that colloidal suspensions can spontaneously self-assemble into dense clusters of various internal structures, sizes and dynamical properties when doped with active Janus particles. Characteristically, these clusters move ballistically during their formation, but dynamically revert their velocity and temporarily move opposite to the self-propulsion direction of the Janus particles they contain. Here we explore a simple effective model of colloidal mixtures which allows reproducing most aspects seen in experiments, including the morphology and the velocity-reversal of the clusters. We attribute the latter to the nonreciprocal phoretic attractions of the passive particles to the active colloids' caps, taking place even at close contact and pushing the active particles backwards. When the phoretic interactions are repulsive, in turn, they cause dynamical aggregation of passive colloids in the chemical density minima produced by the active particles, as recently seen in experiments; in other parameter regimes they induce travelling fronts of active particles pursued by passive ones coexisting with an active gas.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We present the experimental observation of magnetic field line curvature at the surface of a superconducting film by local quantitative magneto-optics. In addition to the knowledge of the full induction field at the superconductor surface yielding the quantitative observation of the flux line curvature, our analysis method allows also local value measurements of the electrical current density inside the sample. Thus, we study the interplay between the electrodynamic constraints dictated by the film geometry and the pinning properties of the superconductor. In particular, we investigate the anisotropic vortex-pinning, due to columnar defects introduced by heavy ion irradiation, as revealed in the local current density dependence on the vortex curvature during magnetic flux diffusion inside the superconducting film.

description: The influence of concentrate-feed supplementation on dry matter and nutrient intake and digestibility, nitrogen retention and body weight gain in goats challenged with trypanosomiasis was studied. Sixteen male West African Dwarf (WAD) goats (7.32 ± 0.70 kg) inoculated with 1.5 × 106 Trypanosoma brucei were divided into four treatment groups each of four replicates in a 56-day, completely randomized design experiment. Treatments consisted of varying intake levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 g/head/day) of a maize-based concentrate supplement (19.72 %; CP) to basal Panicum maximum hay (10.81 %; CP). Dry matter intake (g/head/day) of 211.77 ± 2.66, 215.14 ± 7.25, 253.28 ± 5.23, and 275.96 ± 3.65 obtained for goats fed supplement at 0, 50, 100 and 150 g/head/day respectively were different. Coefficient of crude protein or crude fibre digestibility was higher (p < 0.05) for goats fed the concentrate supplement at 100 or 150 g/head/day level than for those fed at 50 g/head/day or the control. Differences in feed nutrient intake and digestibility caused gradual improvement (p < 0.05) in body weight gain (g/head/day) from 8.39 ± 0.21 in the un-supplemented group to 18.21 ± 0.42 in goats fed concentrate supplement at 150 g/head/day. The results indicated a positive influence of concentrate supplementation on ability of the goats infected with trypanosomiasis to consume and digest feed nutrients for body weight gain. The 100 g /head/day level of supplementation was considered adequate.

description: With its remarkable electro-thermal properties such as the highest known thermal conductivity (~22 W/cm∙ K at room temperature) of any material, high hole mobility (>2000 cm2/V∙s), high critical electric field (>10 MV/cm), and large bandgap (5.47 eV), Diamond has overwhelming advantages over Silicon and wide bandgap semiconductors (WBG) for ultra-high voltage and high temperature applications (>3 kV and >450 K, respectively). However, despite its tremendous potential, fabricated devices based on this material have not yet delivered the expected high-performance. This is due to three main reasons: (i) the lack of consistent physical models and design approaches specific to diamond-based devices that could significantly accelerate their development; (ii) the absence of shallow acceptor and donor dopant species which has resulted in poor room temperature performance; (iii) the technological issues of the manufacturing process. With the principal aim of modelling the next generation of diamond devices, this Ph.D dissertation endeavours to numerically model the main electro-thermal properties of diamond devices for power electronic applications. Optimized unipolar mode diamond field effect transistors have been designed by means of finite element simulations and their performance has been assessed against the state-of-the-art diamond FETs. Particular attention is given to the static and dynamic properties of deep dopant levels and their effects in WBG semiconductor-based devices. Moreover, by means of a more global comparison technique and through accurate theoretical analysis, diamond FETs and diodes’ performance have been projected and compared with that of GaN and SiC devices. This work concludes with possible implementations of diamond devices in power converters and provides a roadmap of diamond devices for power electronics. These promising results give a new impetus to the rather small, but growing diamond community and enable future research in the field with the goal of bringing diamond to the commercial world.

description: We outline a strategy to compute deeply inelastic scattering structure functions using a hybrid quantum computer. Our approach takes advantage of the representation of the fermion determinant in the QCD path integral as a quantum mechanical path integral over 0+1-dimensional fermionic and bosonic worldlines. The proper time evolution of these worldlines can be determined on a quantum computer. While extremely challenging in general, the problem simplifies in the Regge limit of QCD, where the interaction of the worldlines with gauge fields is strongly localized in proper time and the corresponding quantum circuits can be written down. As a first application, we employ the Color Glass Condensate effective theory to construct the quantum algorithm for a simple dipole model of the $F_2$ structure function. We outline further how this computation scales up in complexity and extends in scope to other real-time correlation functions.

Trajectory construction of Dirac evolution

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We extend our programme of representing the quantum state through exact stand-alone trajectory models to the Dirac equation. We show that the free Dirac equation in the angular coordinate representation is a continuity equation for which the real and imaginary parts of the wavefunction, angular versions of Majorana spinors, define conserved densities. We hence deduce an exact formula for the propagation of the Dirac spinor derived from the self-contained first-order dynamics of two sets of trajectories in 3-space together with a mass-dependent evolution operator. The Lorentz covariance of the trajectory equations is established by invoking the relativity of the trajectory label. We show how these results extend to the inclusion of external potentials. We further show that the angular version of the Dirac equation implies continuity equations for currents with non-negative densities, for which the Dirac current defines the mean flow. This provides an alternative trajectory construction of free evolution. Finally, we examine the polar representation of the Dirac equation, which also implies a non-negative conserved density but does not map into a stand-alone trajectory theory. It reveals how the quantum potential is tacit in the Dirac equation.

description: This study relates social-demographic characteristics of Vietnamese households to their consumption of meat. Pork and poultry constitute the majority of meat consumed in Vietnamese households. Hence, pork and poultry consumption have great influence on the total amount of meat consumed. Increasing pork and poultry consumption has strongly contributed to the total meat consumption growth. Tobit models are estimated drawing on the latest Vietnamese Household Living Standard Survey in 2010. The analysis of demand for pork and poultry in Vietnamese households demonstrates that meat demand in Vietnam is significantly affected by socio-economic and demographic factors of households. Understanding meat consumption patterns will help the Vietnamese government to implement policies to ensure food security. The policies may affect food redistribution between rural and urban areas, ethnic groups, the poor and the rich. In addition, food firms who wish to invest in the food market in Vietnam have to understand meat consumption patterns and meat demand to develop suitable business strategies and thereby contribute to increasing food security. This opens possibilities for domestic meat supply chains like feed producers and other livestock input suppliers, agricultural producers, processors, traders and the retail sector to take advantage of this dynamic markets sector.

Coupled Cluster

description: This thesis is concerned with the development and extension of various new approaches to solving the Coupled Cluster (CC) equations through Monte Carlo (MC) integration. Firstly, exact importance sampling of the CC wavefunction to arbitrary order is defined and applied as a modification to the extant unlinked Coupled Cluster Monte Carlo (CCMC) method. This is shown to be vital for the stability of the method while reducing both computational and memory costs on test calculations. Stochastic approaches utilising the diagrammatic formalism of deterministic CC theory in its unfactorised and totally factorised forms are then developed. These are found to show reduced computational costs compared to prior approaches. It is demonstrated that sampling only the connected components of the similarity-transformed Hamiltonian obtains a solution with memory cost proportional to system size for perfectly local systems and a fixed granularity of representation. For a fixed errorbar per replica calculation costs scale as quartic and linear in the number of replicas for the unfactorised and factorised approaches, respectively. This behaviour is independent of truncation level, and shown to translate into approximately local physical systems. The presence of various systematic biases resulting from wavefunction nonlinearity within these approaches is then investigated. All metrics introduced are found to be negligible compared to the accuracy required for chemical applications in an example system, and possible reasons for this suggested. By considering developments of Full Configuration Interaction Quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) extensions of the totally factorised approach are formulated based upon the semistochastic and initiator approximations, and are shown to provide reduced computational and memory costs. Finally, these new approaches are combined with probabilistic considerations to allow exact solutions to the CC equations to be obtained while only considering approximate update steps.

description: We constrain flat cosmological models with a joint likelihood analysis of a new compilation of data from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). Fitting the CMB alone yields a known degeneracy between the Hubble constant h and the matter density Omega_m, which arises mainly from preserving the location of the peaks in the angular power spectrum. This `horizon-angle degeneracy' is considered in some detail and shown to follow a simple relation Omega_m h^{3.4} = constant. Adding the 2dFGRS power spectrum constrains Omega_m h and breaks the degeneracy. If tensor anisotropies are assumed to be negligible, we obtain values for the Hubble constant h=0.665 +/- 0.047, the matter density Omega_m=0.313 +/- 0.055, and the physical CDM and baryon densities Omega_c h^2 = 0.115 +/- 0.009, Omega_b h^2 = 0.022 +/- 0.002 (standard rms errors). Including a possible tensor component causes very little change to these figures; we set a upper limit to the tensor-to-scalar ratio of r<0.7 at 95% confidence. We then show how these data can be used to constrain the equation of state of the vacuum, and find w

description: This research seeks to extend current understandings of the experiences and challenges that face refugee students learning in protracted refugee situations like Jordan. The project looks at Syrian refugee students’ experiences and perceptions of learning in Jordan’s segregated, double-shift schools. Education for refugee has focused on enhancing access and learning quality, seeking to allow refugee children to gain a sense of normalcy and create opportunities for their futures. However, little attention has been paid to how refugee students’ experience their learning spaces in more long-term refugee situations, and how their well-being, aspirations, and perceptions of self and the future are influenced by the education initiatives that refugee-hosting nations put forth. Through a qualitative phenomenological approach, I draw on Sen’s Capability Approach to explore children’s perceptions of their well-being and experiences in schools and outside schools. I engage with students to understand the values and hopes that children have for their present and future, and I examine how these values are shaped by the interactions between schools and the social, economic, and political factors that affect students. This study uses visual-based methods with children to elicit conversations, and also draws on five teacher interviews and classroom observations. The findings of this study portray the important role that schools play in influencing how refugee children’s identities are shaped, and the extent to which students’ school reinforce or transform the limitations that refugee children experience within their hosting nation. It contributes to understanding the values that children believe are important for their well-being in these schools, and provides a discussion on how children’s needs and the challenges they face can also vary across age and gender. The research offers compelling insight into how negative practices within schools, how segregated school structures, and a lack of alignment between policymaking and practice can harm children’s development and undermine the benefits of access to education. These findings illustrate the importance of situating refugee students’ well-being in relation to their social, political, economic, and cultural factors. Finally, the study also calls for a greater understanding of how the well-being of parents and teachers can influence refugee students’ own well-being.

description: Poverty though a universal phenomenon, is the worst challenge in the modern era, which is termed as the age of information and technology. The present study was designed to estimate the incidence of poverty for the grade I employees of Rawalpindi city. Determinants of poverty were explored by using Probit model, which was significant in the determination of the poverty status of the household. Following variables were used in the model; household size, education, experience, working individual, extra income and migration are the variables. For that objective, data from 150 household were collected through questionnaires. The results of the poverty indices showed that about twenty percent households were poor among grade 1 employees of Rawalpindi city. The result of probit models indicated that having large household size, with no extra income and migrants were increasing the probability of being poor while educational attainment and experiences did not had significant effect. On the other hand working individuals and migration were decreasing the probability of being poor.

description: The thesis develops an argument that, across the history of the public-private divide in individual information law, a complex set of interactions between four approaches to the public-private divide can be identified: common sets of concerns, attitudes, assumptions and tendencies that purport to justify a distinctive public-private divide in individual information law. These approaches are market, individual, state-restrictive and state-facilitative approaches. The thesis presents these complex interactions as part of a historically-grounded framework for understanding the public-private divide in information law. It identifies trends in the importance of different approaches over time and within different branches of individual information law. It also identifies the role of diverse actors in those developments. The thesis addresses two alternative tendencies encountered in the broader literature. The first is to understand the development of information law as a broad shift from a state-restrictive to a more individual approach, and within that to portray state-restrictive approaches as historical and individual approaches as modern. The second is to privilege the notion of struggle as the core mechanism of legal development in this field. The thesis addresses these tendencies in the literature by providing an account that highlights the ways in which the rise of individual approaches have also been accompanied by the resurgence of state-restrictive approaches, the endurance of state-facilitative tendencies and the broad acceptance of market approaches. It argues that struggle is only one form of interaction between the different approaches, which at various points in their history have also interacted in terms of compromise, cooperation, inspiration, catalysation, reaction, resistance, erosion, evolution, parallel coexistence, and shifts in approach over time.

description: Semiclassical Mechanics allows for a description of quantum systems which preserves their phase information, while using only the system's classical dynamics as an input. Over the time an identification has been developed between stationary phase approximation and semiclassical mechanics. Although it is true that in most of the cases in semiclassical mechanics the significant contributions come from the neighborhood of the stationary points, there are some important exceptions to it. In this paper we address one of these exceptions, occurring in the evaluation of the time evolution of the expectation value of an operator. We explain why it is necessary to include contributions which are not in the neighborhood of stationary points and provide new semiclassical expressions for the evolution of the expectation values. For our analysis we employ and discuss two major semiclassical tools. The first one is the association of the quantum evolution of a wavefunction to the classical evolution of a Lagrangian manifold, as done by Maslov. The second one is the derivation of an expression for the semiclassical Wigner function whose properties under canonical transformation are made explicit. Using the canonical invariance of the formalism, we derive an expression for the expectation value of observables for the one-dimensional case and then generalize it to higher dimensions. We find that the expression can be written as the sum of a classical contribution which corresponds to what is referred to as the Truncated Wigner Approximation (TWA) in the cold-atoms physics context, or the Linearized Semiclassical Initial Value Representation(LSC-IVR) in chemical or molecular physics, and additional terms associated with interferences. Along the way, we get a deeper understanding of the origin of these interference effects and an intuitive geometric picture associated with them.

description: Additional file 1: Figure S1. Early Dysphagia by RT Sensitivity.Mean doses to structures associated with earlydysphagia versus earlydysphagia outcomes for 36 patients are plotted. For a particular metric, patients were identified as sensitive if they received low dose (defined as a mean dose less than the 1st quartile dose value for the entire cohort) yet had poor outcomes (grade 2–5). Patients were identified as insensitive if they received high dose (defined as a mean dose greater than the 3rd quartile dose value for the entire cohort) yet had good outcomes (grade 0–1). Patients who were supersensitive or insensitive for more than two structures were selected as overall supersensitive or insensitive for further genetic analysis. Only 1 patient was identified as overall supersensitive and 8 patients were identified as overall insensitive. Thus a larger overall cohort is needed to investigate genetic differences between supersensitive and insensitive patients for this outcome. Figure S2. Late Xerostomia by RT Sensitivity.

description: Concurrent observation technologies have made high-precision real-time data available in large quantities. Data assimilation (DA) is concerned with how to combine this data with physical models to produce accurate predictions. For spatial-temporal models, the Ensemble Kalman Filter with proper localization techniques is considered to be a state-of-the-art DA methodology. This article proposes and investigates a localized Ensemble Kalman Bucy Filter (l-EnKBF) for nonlinear models with short-range interactions. We derive dimension-independent and component-wise error bounds and show the long time path-wise error only has logarithmic dependence on the time range. The theoretical results are verified through some simple numerical tests.

description: Weyl semimetals are crystalline solids that host emergent relativistic Weyl fermions and have characteristic surface Fermi-arcs in their electronic structure. Weyl semimetals with broken time reversal symmetry are difficult to identify unambiguously. In this work, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we visualized the electronic structure of the ferromagnetic crystal Co3Sn2S2 and discovered its characteristic surface Fermi-arcs and linear bulk band dispersions across the Weyl points. These results establish Co3Sn2S2 as a magnetic Weyl semimetal that may serve as a platform for realizing phenomena such as chiral magnetic effects, unusually large anomalous Hall effect and quantum anomalous Hall effect.

Near-Infrared Adaptive Optics Imaging of the Central Regions of Nearby Sc Galaxies. II. NGC 247 and NGC 2403

description: J, H, and K' images obtained with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope adaptive optics system are used to investigate the star-forming histories of the central regions of the Sc galaxies NGC 247 and NGC 2403. The brightest resolved red stars within 15 arcsec of the nucleus of each galaxy are red supergiants, indicating that the central few hundred parsecs of these galaxies experienced star formation within the last ~ 0.1 Gyr. However, when averaged over Gyr time scales, the star-forming histories of the inner disks of these galaxies have been remarkably similar, as expected if the long-term evolution of disks is defined by local characteristics such as mass density. It is demonstrated that NGC 247 and NGC 2403, like M33, harbour nuclear star clusters with stellar contents that differ from the surrounding central light concentrations. The nucleus of NGC 2403 is significantly bluer than that of the other two galaxies and the K-band surface brightnesses near the centers of NGC 247 and NGC 2403 are 1 -- 2 mag per square arcsec lower than in M33. Finally, it is noted that young or intermediate-age nuclear star clusters are a common occurence in nearby spirals, indicating that nuclear star formation in these objects is either continuous or episodic on time scales of 0.1 - 1 Gyr.
