description: In the context of holography, entanglement entropy can be studied either by i) extremal surfaces or ii) bit threads, i.e., divergenceless vector fields with a norm bound set by the Planck length. In this paper we develop a new method for metric reconstruction based on the latter approach and show the advantages over existing ones. We start by studying general linear perturbations around the vacuum state. Generic thread configurations turn out to encode the information about the metric in a highly nonlocal way, however, we show that for boundary regions with a local modular Hamiltonian there is always a canonical choice for the perturbed thread configurations that exploits bulk locality. To do so, we express the bit thread formalism in terms of differential forms so that it becomes manifestly background independent. We show that the Iyer-Wald formalism provides a natural candidate for a canonical local perturbation, which can be used to recast the problem of metric reconstruction in terms of the inversion of a particular linear differential operator. We examine in detail the inversion problem for the case of spherical regions and give explicit expressions for the inverse operator in this case. Going beyond linear order, we argue that the operator that must be inverted naturally increases in order. However, the inversion can be done recursively at different orders in the perturbation. Finally, we comment on an alternative way of reconstructing the metric non-perturbatively by phrasing the inversion problem as a particular optimization problem.

description: To help researchers conduct a systematic review or meta-analysis as efficiently and transparently as possible, we designed a tool (ASReview) to accelerate the step of screening titles and abstracts. For many tasks - including but not limited to systematic reviews and meta-analyses - the scientific literature needs to be checked systematically. Currently, scholars and practitioners screen thousands of studies by hand to determine which studies to include in their review or meta-analysis. This is error prone and inefficient because of extremely imbalanced data: only a fraction of the screened studies is relevant. The future of systematic reviewing will be an interaction with machine learning algorithms to deal with the enormous increase of available text. We therefore developed an open source machine learning-aided pipeline applying active learning: ASReview. We demonstrate by means of simulation studies that ASReview can yield far more efficient reviewing than manual reviewing, while providing high quality. Furthermore, we describe the options of the free and open source research software and present the results from user experience tests. We invite the community to contribute to open source projects such as our own that provide measurable and reproducible improvements over current practice.

description: Striga hermonthica (del) Benth is threatening rural livelihoods in western Kenya where maize is the major food and cash crop. Vulnerability analysis was conducted on a sample of 802 households in eight districts of Nyanza and Western provinces. Farmers perceived Striga as the major cause of poverty and food insecurity. Both household income and child nutrition indicators showed alarming conditions for the majority of households. The coping strategies and informal safety nets were not capable of addressing the vulnerability issue successfully. A logistic regression model of determinants of poverty was estimated to examine the determinants and correlates of poverty. Results revealed certain characteristics of households that were more likely to be poor: poor access to land and farm assets; high dependency ratio; headed by older farmer with low education attainment; no off-farm work, no cash crops; depend on credit; Striga has been on the farm for long, high perceived yield loss to Striga given high dependency on maize for livelihoods; adopt no integrated Striga control options; and live in Bondo and Vihiga districts. The paper concludes with implications for policy to improve the livelihoods of small-scale farmers in the Striga-affected areas of western Kenya. Key words: livelihoods, maize, Striga, Kenya, Logit
Hydrodynamic induced deformation and orientation of a microscopic elastic filament

description: We describe simulations of a microscopic elastic filament immersed in a fluid and subject to a uniform external force. Our method accounts for the hydrodynamic coupling between the flow generated by the filament and the friction force it experiences. While models that neglect this coupling predict a drift in a straight configuration, our findings are very different. Notably, a force with a component perpendicular to the filament axis induces bending and perpendicular alignment. Moreover, with increasing force we observe four shape regimes, ranging from slight distortion to a state of tumbling motion that lacks a steady state. We also identify the appearance of marginally stable structures. Both the instability of these shapes and the observed alignment can be explained by the combined action of induced bending and non-local hydrodynamic interactions. Most of these effects should be experimentally relevant for stiff micro-filaments, such as microtubules.

description: Based on statistical analyses of the financial data, the study showed that organisational instability characterised the period under examination. On average, change of ownership or of management, or even mergers or de-mergers occurred every 3.7 years. The “stable” periods are too short for implementing corporate activities based on an elaborated strategy, granting success both in the medium and long term. We have established the strategic models by which the enterprises could be ranked following the change of ownership or management. From among the four types, the asset depleting and the surviving strategies are definitely disadvantageous, but they accounted for more than 56% of the cases. The frequency of occurrence of the negative strategic models increased remarkably in the second half of the period between 1992 and 2006, while the occurrence of the positive strategies – optimising and push forward – dropped to half. It was established that any available reserves of the Hungarian food industrial structure were exhausted in the actual social and economic environment. Withdrawal of foreign capital from the country will continue. A further decrease of the registered capital, depletion of the assets and deterioration of the competitiveness are unavoidable. In the short term, supporting retention of the foreign capital, while in the medium and long term, encouraging expansion of the small and medium size enterprises may grant the opportunity for improvement.

description: Motivated by the importance of magnetization dynamics in nanomagnets for the development and optimization of magnetic devices and sensors, we measured and modeled spin wave spectra in patterned elliptical nanomagnets. Ferromagnetic resonance spectra for multiple nanomagnets of Ni80Fe20 , fabricated by electron-beam lithography to have nominal short-axes of 200 nm or 100 nm, were measured by use of heterodyne magneto-optical microwave microscopy. Scanning electron microscope images taken of the same nanomagnets were used to define element shapes for micromagnetic simulations. Measured spectra show significant differences between nominally identical nanomagnets, which could be only partially attributed to uncontrolled shape variations in the patterning process, as evidence by the limited agreement between the measured and simulated spectra. Agreement between measurements and simulations was improved by including a zone of reduced magnetization and exchange at the edges of the nanomagnets in the simulations. Our results show that the reduction of shape variations between individual magnetic random-access memory elements can potentially improve their performance. However, unambiguous determination of materials parameters in nanomagnets based on analysis and modeling of spin wave spectra remains problematic.

description: Meson mass spectra, evaluated in the framework of the relativistic model of quasi-independent quarks, are presented. Mass values are obtained with the help of numerical calculations based on the Dirac equation and by phenomenological mass formulae. The Dirac equation involves the potential, which is sum of the vector quasi-Coulombic potential and the scalar linear rising confinement potential. The phenomenological mass formulae are applied to excited meson states consisting of u-, d-quarks and antiquarks with isotopical spin I=1. A comparison of the evaluated mass spectra with existing data is performed. Problems of identification of some meson states in vector and scalar channels are discussed.

description: We study a quantum corrected SO(6) invariant matrix quantum mechanics obtained from the s-wave modes of the scalars of N = 4 SYM on S^3. For commuting matrices, this model is believed to describe the 1/8 BPS states of the full SYM theory. In the large N limit the ground state corresponds to a distribution of eigenvalues on a S^5 which we identify with the sphere on the dual geometry AdS_5x S^5. We then consider non-BPS excitations by studying matrix perturbations where the off-diagonal modes are treated perturbatively. To a first approximation, these modes can be described by a free theory of "string bits" whose energies depend on the diagonal degrees of freedom. We then consider a state with two string bits and large angular momentum J on the sphere. In the large J limit we use a simple saddle point approximation to show that the energy of these states coincides precisely with the BMN spectrum to all orders in the 't Hooft coupling. We also find some new problems with the all loop Bethe Ansatz conjecture of the N=4 SYM planar spin chain model.

A state redistribution algorithm for finite volume schemes on cut cell meshes
Creators: name: Berger, Marsha
name: Giuliani, Andrew
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we develop a new technique, called \textit{state redistribution}, that allows the use of explicit time stepping when approximating solutions to hyperbolic conservation laws on embedded boundary grids. State redistribution is a postprocessing technique applied after each time step or stage of the base finite volume scheme, using a time step that is proportional to the volume of the full cells. The idea is to stabilize the cut cells by temporarily merging them into larger, possibly overlapping neighborhoods, then replacing the cut cell values with a stabilized value that maintains conservation and accuracy. We present examples of state redistribution using two base schemes: MUSCL and a second order Method of Lines finite volume scheme. State redistribution is used to compute solutions to several standard test problems in gas dynamics on cut cell meshes, with both smooth and discontinuous solutions. We show that our method does not reduce the accuracy of the base scheme and that it successfully captures shocks in a non-oscillatory manner.

description: Pork is a source of nutrients essential for the human body but still it is regarded by consumers as a non-healthy product. The main objective of the study was to analyse consumption patterns concerning pork products and to define alternative target markets in bigger Hungarian towns. In the course of the research, 494 people, representative of the base population, were questioned. According to the results obtained, the consumers’ opinion and the already formed image are less favourable regarding pork than poultry in almost all respects. Respondents regarded pork as an out-of-date, slightly boring and aging product. The applied cluster analysis identified five different consumer segments. Among them, rational young consumers represent the primary target group, which can be reached by efficient communication. The most important task of a collective marketing strategy is to alter the unfavourable image of pork.

description: The transition out of extreme poverty and hunger in agrarian economies requires an understanding of how new agricultural technologies are adopted by poor farmers. In Uganda, improved germplasm from the cassava breeding program has generated new varieties that are increasingly being grown by farmers. Although considerable success has been achieved in adoption of these varieties in general, there is increasing pressure on breeding and technology dissemination programs to improve the targeting of their efforts. This paper identifies the specific cassava varieties adopted thus far and their desirable and undesirable attributes. In addition, it determines the adoption rates of these varieties and the factors that have influenced the speed of adoption of the most adopted variety. Results show that NASE 1, NASE 2, NASE 3, NASE 4, NASE 10 and NASE 12 are the varieties adopted so far. Farmers consider, inter alia, disease resistance, maturity period, taste and dry matter content in their decision to adopt new cassava varieties. From the Negative Binomial model, speed of adoption of NASE 3 was positively influenced by age of household head, household size and access to extension services. However, it was negatively influenced by number of hoes owned by a household. We conclude that there is need to continue breeding for adaptability to biotic stresses while improving on attributes that influence palatability and nutritive value of the crop. Strengthening the link between farmers and agricultural extension agents/service providers and improving the targeting of extension services will enhance the adoption of new cassava varieties.
Automatic Generation of Hierarchical Contracts for Resilience in Cyber-Physical Systems

description: With the growing scale of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), it is challenging to maintain their stability under all operating conditions. How to reduce the downtime and locate the failures becomes a core issue in system design. In this paper, we employ a hierarchical contract-based resilience framework to guarantee the stability of CPS. In this framework, we use Assume Guarantee (A-G) contracts to monitor the non-functional properties of individual components (e.g., power and latency), and hierarchically compose such contracts to deduce information about faults at the system level. The hierarchical contracts enable rapid fault detection in large-scale CPS. However, due to the vast number of components in CPS, manually designing numerous contracts and the hierarchy becomes challenging. To address this issue, we propose a technique to automatically decompose a root contract into multiple lower-level contracts depending on I/O dependencies between components. We then formulate a multi-objective optimization problem to search the optimal parameters of each lower-level contract. This enables automatic contract refinement taking into consideration the communication overhead between components. Finally, we use a case study from the manufacturing domain to experimentally demonstrate the benefits of the proposed framework.

Quantifying the effectiveness of riparian buffers in three lowland, rural watersheds in the Lower Fraser Valley, British Columbia
Creators: name: Elliott, Lea Christine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The importance of riparian buffers in protecting water quality and fish habitat in agricultural areas is well documented. However, given the limited availability of financial resources for environmental protection, restoration and management it is necessary for communities to set priorities. The objective of this study was to develop a set of easily measured land-based indicators that effect water quality and aquatic habitat. These indicators were used to develop a riparian buffer assessment that could be used to set protection, restoration and nutrient management priorities. A wide range of land-based indicators that are relatively easy to determine from aerial photographs, Geographic Information System (GIS) measurements, and minimal field work were selected. Their impact on water quality and aquatic habitat was examined. These indicators were measured at two scales: a 200m reach and the entire riparian corridor upstream of each sampling site. The indicators were compared with water quality and aquatic habitat measures to assess their ability to predict in-stream conditions in three watersheds in the Lower Fraser Valley, B.C. Six key indicators that had statistically significant relationships with the instream parameters were found to be the best predictors of the effectiveness of the riparian buffer. These indicators were percent forest in the reach, forest cover conditions in the headwaters, percent channelization, the number of barns/km, percent forest in the riparian corridor and percent agriculture in the riparian corridor. Land indicator conditions of the reach were found to be better predictors of in-stream physical habitat, whereas land indicator conditions of the riparian corridor were found to be better predictors of water quality. The indicators chosen were good predictors of water quality and in-stream physical habitat. At greater than 60% channelization dissolved oxygen concentrations were typically below the provincial guidelines set for salmonid egg and alevin lifestages. Forest cover in the headwaters was more important than forest cover at the site for moderating water temperatures. At greater than 0.6 barns/km significantly higher amounts of in-stream ammonia were recorded suggesting improved manure management is required. A notable increase in the amount of large woody debris and habitat complexity was recorded at greater than 60% forest cover at the reach. Based on the observed relationships and thresholds an easy to use assessment procedure for stakeholders to set restoration and protection priorities for riparian buffers was developed. This evaluation was applied to the three watersheds used in this study and the geographic information system (GIS) based display can now be used by decision makers to set priorities for protection, restoration and nutrient management in the riparian buffer.

description: We use Bloch oscillations to accelerate coherently Rubidium atoms. The variation of the velocity induced by this acceleration is an integer number times the recoil velocity due to the absorption of one photon. The measurement of the velocity variation is achieved using two velocity selective Raman pi-pulses: the first pulse transfers atoms from the hyperfine state 5S1/2 |F=2, mF=0> to 5S1/2, |F=1, mF = 0> into a narrow velocity class. After the acceleration of this selected atomic slice, we apply the second Raman pulse to bring the resonant atoms back to the initial state 5S1/2, |F=2, mF = 0>. The populations in (F=1 and F=2) are measured separately by using a one-dimensional time-of-flight technique. To plot the final velocity distribution we repeat this procedure by scanning the Raman beam frequency of the second pulse. This two pi-pulses system constitutes then a velocity sensor. Any noise in the relative phase shift of the Raman beams induces an error in the measured velocity. In this paper we present a theoretical and an experimental analysis of this velocity sensor, which take into account the phase fluctuations during the Raman pulses.

description: We present the following results of photoionization modeling of six MgII-selected absorption systems, at redshift 0.5 < z 0.9, along lines of sight toward three quasars: PG 1241+176, PG 1248+401, and PG 1317+274. These are part of a larger sample of ~20 MgII absorbers at intermediate redshift, that facilitates a survey of the properties of, and processes active in, the multiple phases of gas, both in and outside of galaxies. We present new high resolution ultraviolet spectra from HST/STIS as well as high resolution optical spectra obtained with HIRES/Keck. Together, these spectra allow simultaneous study of a variety of ionization states of different chemical elements, with resolution of the kinematics providing strong constraints on multiphase properties. The six systems presented here include several that are likely to arise from lines of sight through disk and halo structures of spiral galaxies. For these we find that the high ionization gas, traced by CIV is consistent with coronal structures that resemble that of the Milky Way, along with high velocity clouds at 100-200 km/s. Another system has relatively weak CIV, relative to the low ionization absorption, which leads to a discussion of the circumstances in which a corona might be weak or absent in a galaxy, i.e. an early-type morphology or low star formation rate. Finally, we present systems that are examples of single-cloud and multiple-cloud weak MgII absorbers, which are as a class not likely to be within ~50 kpc of luminous galaxies. Based the physical conditions inferred from models, we discuss the nature of these types of systems, which may trace outer regions of galaxies, dwarf galaxy satellites, or metal-rich regions of the intergalactic medium.

description: We investigate the low temperature structural and physical properties of the trilayer nickelates R4Ni3O10 (R = La, Pr and Nd) using resistivity, thermopower, thermal conductivity, specific heat, high-resolution synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and thermal expansion experiments. We show that all three compounds crystallize with a monoclinic symmetry, and undergo a metal-to-metal (MMT) transition at 135 K (La), 156 K (Pr) and 160 K (Nd). At MMT, the lattice parameters show distinct anomalies; however, without any lowering of the lattice symmetry. Unambiguous signatures of MMT are also seen in magnetic and thermal measurements, which suggest a strong coupling between the electronic, magnetic and structural degrees of freedom in these nickelates. Analysis of thermal expansion yields hydrostatic pressure dependence of MMT in close agreement with experiments. We show that the 9-fold coordinated Pr ions in the rocksalt (RS) layers have a crystal field (CF) split doublet ground state with possible antiferromagnetic ordering at 5 K. The Pr ions located in the perovskite block (PB) layers with 12-fold coordination, however, exhibit a non-magnetic singlet ground state. The CF ground state of Nd in both RS and PB layers is a Kramers doublet. Heat capacity of R = Nd shows a Schottky-like anomaly near35 K, and an upturn below T = 10 K suggesting the presence of short-range correlations between the Nd moments. However, no signs of long-range ordering could be found down to 2 K despite a sizeable theta_p ~ -40 K. The strongly suppressed magnetic long-range ordering in both R = Pr and Nd suggests the presence of strong magnetic frustration in these compounds. The low-temperature resistivity shows a T^0.5 dependence. No evidence for the heavy fermion behavior could be found in any of the three compounds.

At degree level, the disciplinary codes, rules and conventions of literary study are deconstructed in formal courses on Literary Theory; I argue that an increased focus on these modes of operation at school level would help teachers and their students gain confidence in understanding the utility and implications of and alternatives to particular reading positions. It would also help both teachers and students re-appraise and validate their roles as stewards and contributory actors to the discipline, to rebalance the asymmetric relations of epistemological power. This research contributes new empirical findings to the literature on the disciplinary identity of school literary study, the ways in which knowledge is framed and authorised within it, and the status of teachers and their students as theorists. Via a sequence of semi-structured interviews, I explore the theorising trajectories of 4 experienced English teachers as they plan, teach and review a scheme of learning on a literary text at Key Stage 3. Using a Critical Pedagogy lens, I examine the participants’ acts of disciplinary framing, their conceptions of disciplinary power, authority and influence, and how they induct students into critical identities and dispositions. I conclude that epistemological awareness of the constructed nature of disciplinary codes and conventions can help teachers move towards a more inclusive version of school literary study, one which acknowledges the contextual contingency of any response and shows knowledge and meaning to be the products of ongoing discourses, including those which students bring into and create within the classroom. I present recommendations for practice in the form of a new framework for school literary study in its compulsory phase, and a call for an increased emphasis on epistemological questions as professional development for teachers of Literature across the sector.

description: We develop a method to constrain the level of non-Gaussianity of density perturbations when the 3-point function is of the "equilateral" type. Departures from Gaussianity of this form are produced by single field models such as ghost or DBI inflation and in general by the presence of higher order derivative operators in the effective Lagrangian of the inflaton. We show that the induced shape of the 3-point function can be very well approximated by a factorizable form, making the analysis practical. We also show that, unless one has a full sky map with uniform noise, in order to saturate the Cramer-Rao bound for the error on the amplitude of the 3-point function, the estimator must contain a piece that is linear in the data. We apply our technique to the WMAP data obtaining a constraint on the amplitude f_NL^equil of "equilateral" non-Gaussianity: -366 < f_NL^equil < 238 at 95% C.L. We also apply our technique to constrain the so-called "local" shape, which is predicted for example by the curvaton and variable decay width models. We show that the inclusion of the linear piece in the estimator improves the constraint over those obtained by the WMAP team, to -27 < f_NL^local < 121 at 95% C.L.

description: Industrial cyber-infrastructure is normally a multilayered architecture. The purpose of the layered architecture is to hide complexity and allow independent evolution of the layers. In this paper, we argue that this traditional strict layering results in poor transparency across layers affecting the ability to significantly improve resiliency. We propose a contract-based methodology where components across and within the layers of the cyber-infrastructure are associated with contracts and a light-weight resilience manager. This allows the system to detect faults (contract violation monitored using observers) and react (change contracts dynamically) effectively. It results in (1) improving transparency across layers; helps resiliency, (2) decoupling fault-handling code from application code; helps code maintenance, (3) systematically generate error-free fault handling code; reduces development time. Using an industrial case study, we demonstrate the proposed methodology.

description: It wouldn’t be too wrong, to assert that the modern debate about the faculty of taste has almost entirely been translated into the contemporary dispute about the aesthetic experience. And, right or wrong, the work of art remains here the primary point of reference. However, in both continental and analytical traditions, the discussion about the “what” of the aesthetic experience – normally intended as the experience of an artwork, and the experience made by a spectator with particular attitudes and expectations – has not reached even the maturity of a minimal number of shared theories. Moreover, this whole question has not even been outlined as a commonly accepted and structured problem.

description: We present the results of a Parkes Multibeam HI survey of six loose groups of galaxies analogous to the Local Group. This survey was sensitive to HI-rich objects in these groups to below 10^7 M(sun) of HI, and was designed to search for low mass, gas-rich satellite galaxies and potential analogs to the high-velocity clouds seen around the Milky Way. This survey detected a total of 79 HI-rich objects associated with the six groups, half of which were new detections. While the survey identified a small number of dwarf galaxies, no star-free HI clouds were discovered. The HI mass function of the six groups appears to be roughly flat as is that of the Local Group. The cumulative velocity distribution function (CVDF) of the HI-rich halos in the six groups is identical to that of the Local Group. Both of these facts imply that these groups are true analogs to the Local Group and that the Local Group is not unique in its lack of low-mass dwarf galaxies as compared to the predictions of cold dark matter models of galaxy formation. This survey also constrains the distance to and HI masses of the compact high-velocity clouds (CHVCs) around the Milky Way. The lack of CHVC analog detections implies that they are distributed within <160 kpc of the Milky Way and have average HI masses of <4x10^5 M(sun). The spatial distribution of CHVCs is consistent with the predictions of simulations for dark matter halos. Furthermore the CVDF of Local Group galaxies plus CHVCs matches the predicted CVDF of cold dark matter simulations of galaxy formation. This provides circumstantial evidence that CHVCs may be associated with low-mass dark matter halos.
