description: We present and analyze the fermionic time evolving density matrix using orthogonal polynomials algorithm (fTEDOPA), which enables the numerically exact simulation of open quantum systems coupled to a fermionic environment. The method allows for simulating the time evolution of open quantum systems with arbitrary spectral densities at zero or finite temperatures with controllable and certified error. We demonstrate the efficacy of the method towards the simulation of quintessential fermionic open quantum systems including the resonant level model and quantum dot coupled to an impurity and towards simulating hitherto intractable problems in quantum transport. Furthermore, we demonstrate significant efficiency gains in the computational costs by performing simulations in the Heisenberg picture. Finally, we compare different approaches for simulating finite-temperature situations and provide guidelines for choosing between these approaches.

description: The synthesis and characterization of polyferrocenylmethylene (PFM) starting from dilithium 2,2‐bis(cyclopentadienide)propane and a Me₂C[1]magnesocenophane is reported. Molecular weights of up to Mw = 11 700 g mol⁻¹ featuring a dispersity, Ð, of 1.40 can be achieved. The material is studied by different methods comprising nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI‐ToF) mass spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements elucidating the molecular structure and thermal properties of these novel polymers. Moreover, cyclic voltammetry (CV) reveals quasi‐reversible oxidation and reduction behavior and communication between the iron centers. Also, the crystal structure of a related cyclic hexamer is presented.
Factors that Determinates and Influences Foreign Exchange Rates

description: The Foreign Exchange rate is very much crucial for determining the economic health level of the country. The foreign exchange rate provides financial stability, enhances purchasing power and allows global trades. This rate usually fluctuates due to the market forces which control the supply and demand of the currency. Nominal and relative inflation and income level have a substantial effect on determining the exchange rates. Government measures, international situations, natural disasters or any unexpected situation like Covid-19 can affect the exchange rates. Besides this, the interaction between the factors can create different reasoning to affect the market. This study tries to identify some factors with relevant examples.

description: Current sustainability challenges in the dominant agro-food regime highlight the need for a systemic transition towards sustainability. It has been argued that, as a reaction to these sustainability challenges, niches have arisen that reorganise their practices in order to contribute to a more sustainable food system. These niches may in turn be seeds for a systemic transition. One specific type of such niches are Alternative Food Networks (AFNs). AFNs have already been researched in-depth from the perspective of two theories: the Multi-Level Perspective and Social Practice Theory, as well as through their combined use. Nevertheless, these studies have mainly focused on sustainability transitions in production and consumption. In this article we argue that this omits an important element of the food supply chain, namely all the activities between production and consumption. We take a holistic approach by looking at food supply chains as consisting of nine marketing functions. We do this by researching a particular type of AFN – Voedselteams - in Flanders. We find that, whereas in the dominant regime these functions are performed in a highly specialized way, within AFNs, they become more intertwined as more responsibility is taken up by consumers and producers. Yet, as initiatives grow, they might start taking up ‘regime-elements’ again in order to cope with the size. In this way, these initiatives may become hybrids between niche and regime.

description: This article introduces empirical likelihood ratio tests for conditional moment models in which the unknown parameter contains infinite-dimensional components. We allow unknown functions to be included in the conditional moment restrictions. We discusses (1) the limiting distribution of the sieve conditional empirical likelihood ratio (SCELR) test statistic for functionals of parameters under the null hypothesis and local alternatives; and (2) the limiting distribution of the SCELR test statistic for conditional moment restrictions (a consistent specification test) under the null hypothesis and local alternatives. A Monte Carlo study examines finite sample performance. We then apply these tests in an empirical application to construct confidence intervals for Engel curves and test restrictions on the curves.

Determination of the phase of an electromagnetic field via incoherent detection of fluorescence

description: We show that the phase of a field can be determined by incoherent detection of the population of one state of a two-level system if the Rabi frequency is comparable to the Bohr frequency so that the rotating wave approximation is inappropriate. This implies that a process employing the measurement of population is not a square-law detector in this limit. We discuss how the sensitivity of the degree of excitation to the phase of the field may pose severe constraints on precise rotations of quantum bits involving low-frequency transitions. We present a scheme for observing this effect in an atomic beam, despite the spread in the interaction time.

Unified Gas-kinetic Wave-Particle Methods III: Multiscale Photon Transport

description: In this paper, we extend the unified gas-kinetic wave-particle (UGKWP) method to the multiscale photon transport. In this method, the photon free streaming and scattering processes are treated in an un-splitting way. The duality descriptions, namely the simulation particle and distribution function, are utilized to describe the photon. By accurately recovering the governing equations of the unified gas-kinetic scheme (UGKS), the UGKWP preserves the multiscale dynamics of photon transport from optically thin to optically thick regime. In the optically thin regime, the UGKWP becomes a Monte Carlo type particle tracking method, while in the optically thick regime, the UGKWP becomes a diffusion equation solver. The local photon dynamics of the UGKWP, as well as the proportion of wave-described and particle-described photons are automatically adapted according to the numerical resolution and transport regime. Compared to the $S_n$ -type UGKS, the UGKWP requires less memory cost and does not suffer ray effect. Compared to the implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) method, the statistical noise of UGKWP is greatly reduced and computational efficiency is significantly improved in the optically thick regime. Several numerical examples covering all transport regimes from the optically thin to optically thick are computed to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the UGKWP method. In comparison to the $S_n$ -type UGKS and IMC method, the UGKWP method may have several-order-of-magnitude reduction in computational cost and memory requirement in solving some multsicale transport problems.

description: This study aims to contribute to the better understanding of how voluntary-based policy intervention has affected the farm structure, especially the evolution of on-farm labour. The analysis on the relationship between farms that participated in agri-environmental measures (AEMs) and evolution of their on-farm labour is investigated during the period 2004–2014 with using Slovenian Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). More specially, the relationship between AEMs and hired labour use is explained by farm size and farm type divisions. The results of statistical analysis give evidence that hired labour use is positively correlated by AEMs in all farm size classes. Regardless of farm size, increase in the demand for hired labour use in AEM adopted farms could be explained by the requirements of environmental farming practices that are often more labour intensive than the traditional farming practices. Farm type division analysis reveals that the correlation between AEMs and hired labour use is significantly positive, depending on the farm type. For field crop farms, we observe a weak correlation between AEM payments and total labour use. This could explain with the application of AEM practices do not necessary perceived the hired labour use as a complementary to family labour by filed crop farm managers.

description: We extend in several respects our earlier work on O(p^2) corrections to matrix elements of the electroweak penguin operator O_{ewp}. First, to facilitate comparison with certain lattice studies we calculate O(p^2) corrections to in the SU(3) limit of equal light quark masses. Next, we demonstrate how an apparent disagreement in the literature regarding whether higher order chiral contributions increase or decrease <2pi_{I=2}|O_{ewp}|K> is simply a consequence of how the leading order chiral amplitude is defined. Finally, we address an aspect of the epsilon'/epsilon problem by estimating O(p^2) corrections to recent determinations of <2pi_{I=2}|Q_{7,8}|K> which were carried out in the chiral limit.

Livestock Production/Industries

description: The agricultural sector in Germany, in the EU, and other industrialised countries remains in the spotlight of controversial societal debates that testify to an advancing alienation between modern agriculture and society. Key issues include animal welfare, environmental externalities, industrialisation of agricultural production, and extinction of family farms. As higher animal welfare or environmental standards are requested by society, the respective agricultural debates take on ideological tenors. The present paper addresses of the legitimacy of and the need for supporting the agricultural sector. We ask to what extent the existing economic conditions allow the agricultural sector on the one hand to benefit from agricultural innovations and on the other hand to meet societal expectations. The analysis builds on two concepts: the agricultural treadmill theory, which assumes the agricultural sector to be under a permanent economic pressure, and the concept of corporate social responsibility, which presumes that firms have an interest to comply with societal expectations. We describe and analyse the internal mechanisms of these concepts theoretically and conceptually. We then discuss opportunities which may help to overcome the increasing alienation of agriculture and society.

description: The circulation of information has been pointed out by the economic literature as a main factor of market performance. In developing countries, information asymmetries are frequently mentioned as limiting the effectiveness of agricultural markets. Rice market in Madagascar, characterized by a great instability and a poor spatial integration, is an illustration of such situation. Market Information Systems (MIS) aim at improving market performance, through the dissemination of information to producers and other market players. However, their effectiveness often remains limited, hampered by the lack of consideration of the market players’ behavior and constraints, especially those of smallholder farmers. Livelihoods, commercialization practices and access to market information are analyzed on a sample of 582 farm households in two main rice production areas in Madagascar. Different ways to disseminate market information and knowledge are tested on a subsample of farmers and extension staff: SMS, radio programs, and educational modules. A light survey on the recipient provides early feed-backs on their appraisal of each communication media. To have a better access to market information is perceived as necessary by the majority of producers. Expectations in term of information are differentiated according to producers’ types and their degree of remoteness. The more the actors are involved in market (more marketable surplus or paddy collection), the more they demand for precise and personalized communication means (ie. mobile phone) and the more they are willing to pay the information. Yet, the capacities of the majority of producers hamper the adoption of systems based only on mobile phone. Furthermore a large share of farmer households still doesn’t have a mobile phone. Among those that do, there is rapid turn-over of phone numbers, which cannot allow maintaining sustainably recipients. To alleviate the risk of increasing inequalities while developing MIS entirely based on mobile phones, it seems critical to include them within extension or other farmer support programs, and to diversify communication means (including radio, bulletin board) along with marketing capacity building.

 TYPE SPECIES: Leptipalpus brasiliensis Rondani, 1850 (as “ Tabanus brasiliensis Rondani ”), by designation of Kerr (2010: 75).
 CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Chrysopilus Macquart, 1826 [teste Kerr (2010: 75)].
FAMILY: RHAGIONIDAE.
 REMARKS: Two species were originally included in Leptipalpus by Rondani (1850c). The inclusion of Leptipalpus brasiliensis is obvious; however, the second (Leptis apicalis Rondani, 1848) may not be as evident to the reader. Rondani (1850c: 184) stated: “Ai Leptipalpi oltre la specie brasiliensis dovrà riunirsi anche la mia Leptis Apicalis (studii Entomol.), e forse alcune Crisopile del Macquart;...”. [“To the Leptipalpus ’s, in addition to the species brasiliensis, must be included also my Leptis Apicalis (of studi Entomol.) and, perhaps, some Chrysopilus ’s of Macquart; …”.] We interpret this as a clear intention by Rondani (1850c) of its inclusion in Leptipalpus. James (1968) listed both nominal species in his “Unplaced species” but failed to catalog the genus-group name. Kertész (1908) listed the genus-group name as valid and included a number of species in it without designating a type species. Kerr (2010) listed “ Tabanus brasiliensis Rondani ” as type species by monotypy, and although the stated method of fixation is erroneous, he is deemed to have made the first designation according to ICZN Code Article 69.1.1.

description: In this work we show using atomistic simulations that the biased diffusion in high electric field gradients creates a mechanism whereby nanotips may start growing from small surface asperities. It has long been known that atoms on a metallic surface have biased diffusion if electric fields are applied and that microscopic tips may be sharpened using fields, but the exact mechanisms have not been well understood. Our Kinetic Monte Carlo simulation model uses a recently developed theory for how the migration barriers are affected by the presence of an electric field. All parameters of the model are physically motivated and no fitting parameters are used. The model has been validated by reproducing characteristic faceting patterns of tungsten surfaces that have in previous experiments been observed to only appear in the presence of strong electric fields. The growth effect is found to be enhanced by increasing fields and temperatures.

description: This work mainly studies the interfacial behaviors of scutellarin on a newly developed emulsion and establishes a three-phase distribution model. The results showed that the concentration of scutellarin could decrease the interfacial tension and the gel-liquid crystal phase transition temperature of phospholipids. By observing the micromorphology of the emulsion, it is inferred that the drug exists on the emulsion interface. The distribution of drugs in three phases at different pH was calculated. The results showed that when pH was in the range of 3.0–8.0, the content of scutellarin in the oil phase was less than 0.25%; when pH < 7.4, more than 88% of the drugs were on the interface; when pH > 7.4, the drugs were mainly distributed in the aqueous phase. Therefore, the behavior of emulsions (pH 6.0) in vitro and in vivo is mainly composed of the behavior of drugs on the interface. The study above can explain some properties of the emulsions after loading scutellarin. Including the decrease of particle size and stability constant Ke, the increase of zeta potential, and the decreased chemical stability after the pH value went higher.

description: Over the last decades, the number of farms has been decreasing and the average operated area has been increasing all over the European Union. This paper aims at studying the distribution of farm sizes across the 27 EU Member states both at the national and regional levels, and how it evolved from 2005 to 2013. Using two indicators of farm size, namely the median size of farms and the hectare-weighted median size of farms, along with two indicators of farm-size inequality, the Gini coefficient and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, it shows that a variety of situations exists across Europe but that the overall tendency is that of a general increase in farm sizes which most often results in an increase in farm-size inequality and concentration.

The stellar velocity dispersion of the lens galaxy in MG2016+112 at z=1.004

description: We present a direct measurement of the stellar velocity dispersion of the early-type lens galaxy D in the system MG2016+112 (z=1.004), determined from a spectrum obtained with the Echelle Spectrograph and Imager (ESI) on the W.M. Keck-II Telescope, as part of the Lenses Structure and Dynamics (LSD) Survey. We find a velocity dispersion of sigma_ap=304+-27 km/s inside an effective circular aperture with a radius of 0.65'', corresponding to a central velocity dispersion of sigma=328+-32 km/s. From a Hubble Space Telescope F160W-band image, we measure the effective radius and effective surface brightness in order to determine the offset of the lens galaxy with respect to the local Fundamental Plane. The offset corresponds to an evolution of the rest-frame effective mass-to-light ratio of Delta log(M/L_B)=-0.62+-0.08 from z=0 to z=1.004. By interpreting colors and offset of the FP with two independent stellar population synthesis models, we obtain a single-burst equivalent age of 2.8+-0.8 Gyr (i.e. z_f>1.9) and a supersolar metallicity of log[Z/Z_sun]=0.25+-0.25. The lens galaxy is therefore a massive elliptical dominated by an old and metal rich stellar population at z>1. The excellent agreement of the stellar velocity dispersion with that predicted from recent lens models confirms that the angular separation of the multiple images of the background QSO is predominantly due to the lens galaxy, and not to a massive ``dark cluster'', in agreement with recent weak lensing and X-ray observations. However, the significant overdensity of galaxies in the field might indicate that this system is a proto-cluster, in formation around galaxy D, responsible for the ~10% external shear inferred from the strong lens models.

description: There is a very natural map from the configuration space of n distinct points in Euclidean 3-space into the flag manifold U(n)/U(1)^n, which is compatible with the action of the symmetric group. The map is well-defined for all configurations of points provided a certain conjecture holds, for which we provide numerical evidence. We propose some additional conjectures, which imply the first, and test these numerically. Motivated by the above map, we define a geometrical multi-particle energy function and compute the energy minimizing configurations for up to 32 particles. These configurations comprise the vertices of polyhedral structures which are dual to those found in a number of complicated physical theories, such as Skyrmions and fullerenes. Comparisons with 2-particle and 3-particle energy functions are made. The planar restriction and the generalization to hyperbolic 3-space are also investigated.

Electronic transmission in the lateral heterostructure of semiconducting and metallic transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers

description: We investigate the electronic transport property of lateral heterojunctions of semiconducting and metallic transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers, MoSe$_2$ and NbSe$_2$, respectively. We calculate the electronic transmission probability by using a multi-orbital tight-binding model based on the first-principles band structure. The transmission probability depends on the spin and valley degrees of freedom. This dependence qualitatively changes by the interface structure. The heterostructure with a zig-zag interface preserves the spin and the valley of electron in the transmission process. On the other hand, the armchair interface enables conduction electrons to transmit with changing the valley and increases the conductance in hole-doped junctions due to the valley-flip transmission. We also discuss the spin and valley polarizations of electronic current in the heterojunctions.

description: In recent years Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been studied for their electronic properties as they are viewed as nanodots of graphene. They have also been of interest as functional molecules for applications such as light emitting diodes and solar cells. Since last few years varying structural and chemical properties corresponding to the size and geometry of these molecules have been studied both theoretically and experimentally. In this paper, we carry out a systematic study of the electronic states of several PAHs using the Pariser-Parr-Pople model which incorporates long-range electron correlations. In all the molecules studied by us, we find that the 2A state is below the 1B state and hence none of them will be fluorescent in the gaseous phase. The singlet-triplet gap is more than one-half of the singlet-singlet gap in all cases and hence none of these PAHs can be candidates for improved solar cell efficiencies in a singlet fission. We discuss in detail the properties of the electronic states which include bond orders and spin densities (in triplets) of these systems.

description: Matrices in Stata can serve as look-up tables. Because Stata will accept references to matrix elements within many commands, most notably generate and replace, users can access and use values from a table in either vector or full matrix form. Examples are given for entry of small datasets, recoding of categorical variables, and quantile-based or similar binning of counted or measured variables. In the last case, the device grants easy exploration of the consequences of different binning conventions and the instability of bin allocation.

description: Nanoscale mechanical resonators are widely utilized to provide high sensitivity force detectors. Here we demonstrate that such high quality factor resonators immersed in superfluid \(^4\mathrm{He}\) can be excited by a modulated flux of phonons. A nanosized heater immersed in superfluid \(^4\mathrm{He}\) acts as a source of ballistic phonons in the liquid -- "phonon wind". When the modulation frequency of the phonon flux matches the resonance frequency of the mechanical resonator, the motion of the latter can be excited. This ballistic thermomechanical effect can potentially open up new types of experiments in quantum fluids.

description: Quantum bits, or qubits, are an example of coherent circuits envisioned for next-generation computers and detectors. A robust superconducting qubit with a coherent lifetime of $O$(100 $μ$s) is the transmon: a Josephson junction functioning as a non-linear inductor shunted with a capacitor to form an anharmonic oscillator. In a complex device with many such transmons, precise control over each qubit frequency is often required, and thus variations of the junction area and tunnel barrier thickness must be sufficiently minimized to achieve optimal performance while avoiding spectral overlap between neighboring circuits. Simply transplanting our recipe optimized for single, stand-alone devices to wafer-scale (producing 64, 1x1 cm dies from a 150 mm wafer) initially resulted in global drifts in room-temperature tunneling resistance of $\pm$ 30%. Inferring a critical current $I_{\rm c}$ variation from this resistance distribution, we present an optimized process developed from a systematic 38 wafer study that results in $

description: We develop a detailed chemical model for the starless cores of strongly magnetized molecular clouds, with the ambipolar diffusion-driven dynamic evolution of the clouds coupled to the chemistry through ion abundances. We concentrate on two representative model clouds in this initial study, one with magnetic fields and the other without. The model predictions on the peak values and spatial distributions of the column densities of CO, CCS, N$_2$H$^+$ and HCO$^+$ are compared with those observationally inferred for the well-studied starless core L1544, which is thought to be on the verge of star formation. We find that the magnetic model, in which the cloud is magnetically supported for several million years before collapsing dynamically, provides a reasonable overall fit to the available data on L1544; the fit is significantly worse for the non-magnetic model, in which the cloud collapses promptly. The observed large peak column density for N$_2$H$^+$ and clear central depression for CCS favor the magnetically-retarded collapse over the free-fall collapse. A relatively high abundance of CCS is found in the magnetic model, resulting most likely from an interplay of depletion and late-time hydrocarbon chemistry enhanced by CO depletion. These initial results lend some support to the standard picture of dense core formation in strongly magnetized clouds through ambipolar diffusion. They are at variance with those of Aikawa et al. (2001) who considered a set of models somewhat different from ours and preferred one in which the cloud collapses more or less freely for L1544.
