description: In this paper the 5-dimensional contact SO(3)-manifolds are classified up to equivariant contactomorphisms. The construction of such manifolds with singular orbits requires the use of generalized Dehn twists. We show as an application that all simply connected 5-manifoldswith singular orbits are realized by a Brieskorn manifold with exponents (k,2,2,2). The standard contact structure on such a manifold gives right-handed Dehn twists, and a second contact structure defined in the article gives left-handed twists.

description: According to recent studies, Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) and Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) can be evaluated in a Constituent Quark Model (CQM) scenario, considering the constituent quarks as composite objects. In here, a fully covariant model for a system of two particles, together with its non relativistic limit, are used to calculate PDFs and GPDs. The analysis permits to realize that by no means the effects of Relativity can be simulated taking into account the structure of the constituent particles, the two effects being independent and necessary for a proper description of available high energy data in terms of CQM.

description: Where approved, producers have adopted genetically modified (GM) crops extensively. Yet, areas not adopting GM crops account for large shares of production and consumption. GM crops differ from previous agricultural innovations because consumers may perceive them as fundamentally different from (and potentially inferior to) conventionally grown crops. Many countries maintain restrictions on production and importation of GM crops. GM crop adoption affects producers and consumers, not only through technological change, but also through trade policy responses. This article reviews open economy analyses of impacts of GM crops. To varying degrees, commodities are segmented into GM, conventionally grown, and organic product markets. Recent advances in trade modeling consider the consequences of market segmentation, along with consequences of GM crop import restrictions, product segregation requirements, and coexistence policies.

EXPLORING EU FOOD SAFETY NOTIFICATIONS ON AGRO-FOOD IMPORTS: ARE MEDITERRANEAN PARTNER COUNTRIES DISCRIMINATED?

description: Limited capacity to comply with standards and controls has constrained the trade opportunities generated by bilateral agreements and preferences given to developing countries such as those belonging to the Mediterranean region. Specifically, in this paper we focus on the implementation of a specific type of Non-Tariff Measures that includes food safety concerns by the European Union. This is carried out through exploring some of the influencing factors on food standard enforcement in the EU, which is a major importer of agro-food products from developing countries. The issue at stake emerges on the possible rationale behind the border notifications on food imports -which can be the result of the management of specific risks- but beyond that by considering the reputation of the product or of the country of origin. We explore the hypothesis that the past border notifications affect current notifications, in other words, they affect current decisions on the implementation of food standards by the EU. Methodologically, notifications are extracted from those reported on the Rapid Alert System for Feed and Food (RASFF), and count data models are used to account for the over-dispersion existing in them. The results of the paper support the hypothesis that previous food notifications may slightly affect current notifications; nevertheless this effect seems to be less relevant for products of interest for Mediterranean Partner Countries. Hence, we cannot identify a pro or anti Mediterranean bias in the way that food safety controls are implemented at the EU borders.
Photon localization barrier can be overcome

description: In contradistinction to a widespread belief that the spatial localization of photons is restricted by a power-law falloff of the photon energy density, I.Bialynicki-Birula [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 5247 (1998)] has proved that any stronger -- up to an almost exponential -- falloff is allowed. We are showing that for certain specifically designed cylindrical one-photon states the localization is even better in lateral directions. If the photon state is built from the so-called focus wave mode, the falloff in the waist cross-section plane turns out to be quadratically exponential (Gaussian) and such strong localization persists in the course of propagation.

description: Hands-on training is an effective way to practice theoretical cybersecurity concepts and increase participants' skills. In this paper, we discuss the application of visual analytics principles to the design, execution, and evaluation of training sessions. We propose a conceptual model employing visual analytics that supports the sensemaking activities of users involved in various phases of the training life cycle. The model emerged from our long-term experience in designing and organizing diverse hands-on cybersecurity training sessions. It provides a classification of visualizations and can be used as a framework for developing novel visualization tools supporting phases of the training life-cycle. We demonstrate the model application on examples covering two types of cybersecurity training programs.
Spin-1 bosons with coupled ground states in optical lattices

Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The superfluid--Mott-insulator phase transition of ultracold spin-1 bosons with ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions in an optical lattice is theoretically investigated. Two counterpropagating linearly polarized laser beams with the angle $θ$ between the polarization vectors (lin-$θ$-lin configuration), driving an $F_g=1$ to $F_e=1$ internal atomic transition, create the optical lattice and at the same time couple atomic ground states with magnetic quantum numbers $m=\pm 1$. Due to the coupling the system can be described as a two-component one. At $θ=0$ the system has a continuous isospin symmetry, which can be spontaneously broken, thereby fixing the number of particles in the atomic components. The phase diagram of the system and the spectrum of collective excitations, which are density waves and isospin waves, are worked out. In the case of ferromagnetic interactions, the superfluid--Mott-insulator phase transition is always second order, but in the case of antiferromagnetic interactions for some values of system parameters it is first order and the superfluid and Mott phases can coexist. Varying the angle $θ$ one can control the populations of atomic components and continuously turn on and tune their asymmetry.
Synthetic Kramers pair in phononic elastic plates and helical edge states on a dislocation interface

description: In conventional theories, topological band properties are intrinsic characteristics of the bulk material and do not depend on the choice of the reference frame. In this scenario, the principle of bulk-edge correspondence can be used to predict the existence of edge states between topologically distinct materials. In this study, we propose and carefully examine a 2D elastic phononic plate with a Kekulé-distorted honeycomb pattern engraved on it. It is found that the pseudospin and the pseudospin-dependent Chern numbers are not invariant properties, and the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ number is no longer a sufficient indicator to examine the existence of the edge state. The distinctive pseudospin texture and the pseudomagnetic field are also revealed. Finally, we successfully devise and experimentally implement the synthetic helical edge states on a dislocation interface connecting two subdomains with bulk pattern identical up to a relative translation. The edge state is also imaged via laser vibrometry.

Determining cosmological parameters from X-ray measurements of strong lensing clusters
Creators: name: Sereno, M.
name: Longo, G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss a new method which is potentially capable of constraining cosmological parameters using observations of giant luminous arcs in rich X-ray clusters of galaxies. The mass profile and the mass normalization of the lenses are determined from X-ray measurements. The method also allows to probe the amount and equation of state of the dark energy in the universe. The analysis of a preliminary sample of 6 luminous, relatively relaxed clusters of galaxies strongly favours an accelerating expansion of the universe. Under the assumption that the dark energy is in the form of a cosmological constant, the data provide an estimate of $ Ω_Λ= 1.1$ with a statistical error of $\pm 0.2$. Including the constraint of a flat universe and an equation of state for the dark energy $w_X \geq -1$, we obtain $Ω_M = 0.10 \pm 0.10$ and $w_X = -0.84 \pm 0.14$. Relaxing the prior on $w_X$, we find that the null energy condition is satisfied at the 3-$σ$ confidence level.

description: Using the difference between the gauge symmetric and standard pi-N-delta couplings, a contact pi-pi-N-N term, quadratic in the pi-N-delta coupling, is explicitly constructed. Besides, a contribution from the delta excitation mechanism to the photon spectrum for the radiative muon capture in hydrogen is derived from the gauge symmetric pi-N-delta and gamma-N-delta couplings. It is shown for the photon spectrum, studied recently experimentally, that the new spectrum is for the photon momentums k > 60 MeV by 4-10 % smaller than the one obtained from standardly used couplings with the on-shell deltas.

description: We carry out numerical and mathematical investigations of shear Alfven waves inside of a spherical shell filled with an incompressible conducting fluid, and bathed in a strong dipolar magnetic field. We focus on axisymmetric toroidal and non-axisymmetric modes, in continuation of a previous work by Rincon & Rieutord (2003, A&A, 398, 663). Analytical expressions are obtained for toroidal eigenmodes and their corresponding frequencies at low diffusivities. These oscillations behave like magnetic shear layers, in which the magnetic poles play a key role, and hence become singular when diffusivities vanish. It is also demonstrated that non-axisymmetric modes are split into two categories, namely poloidal or toroidal types, following similar asymptotic behaviours as their axisymmetric counterparts when the diffusivities become arbitrarily small.

We calculate the asymmetries within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters $M_1$, $μ$ and $A_t$. We give the analytic formulae for the decay distributions. We present numerical results for the asymmetries and estimate the event rates necessary to observe them. The largest T-odd asymmetry can be as large as 40%.

description: The EU banana import regime has been controversial during years and years and it deserves to be looked at. This article aims to analyse the results of the negotiation process which ended the latent conflict (known as ‘banana war’); it also compares the ex ante predictions and the ex post results. In order to better understand the significant differences, we look for the triple evolution: trade, prices and market structures. Since 2006, many stakeholders have gained power in the international market, in particular suppliers that quickly assimilated the necessity to adapt to market changes; the EU consumers took advantage of lower prices and the EU policy adaptation to WTO rules. This article is only a case study, but its conclusions can be helpful for analysing other trade conflicts or agreements.

description: For a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a two-dimensional (2D) trap, we introduce cross patterns, which are generated by intersection of two domain walls (DWs) separating immiscible species, with opposite signs of the wave functions in each pair of sectors filled by the same species. The cross pattern remains stable up to the zero value of the immiscibility parameter $|Δ|$, while simpler rectilinear (quasi-1D) DWs exist only for values of $|Δ|$ essentially exceeding those in BEC mixtures (two spin states of the same isotope) currently available to the experiment. Both symmetric and asymmetric cross configurations are investigated, with equal or different numbers $N_{1,2}$ of atoms in the two species. In rotating traps, ``propellers'' (stable revolving crosses) are found too. A full stability region for of the crosses and propellers in the system's parameter space is identified, unstable crosses evolving into arrays of vortex-antivortex pairs. Stable rotating rectilinear DWs are found too, at larger vlues of $|Δ|$. All the patterns produced by the intersection of three or more DWs are unstable, rearranging themselves into ones with two DWs. Optical propellers are also predicted in a twisted nonlinear photonic-crystal fiber carrying two different wavelengths or circular polarizations, which can be used for applications to switching and routing.

description: Smart simulation Computable Partial Equilibrium (CPE) Methodology was employed in this study to determine the Effects of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) on Agricultural trade between Nigeria and the European Union (EU). Specifically, the study investigated the patterns of imports of Nigeria; the potential import effects on the country embarking on free trade under the economic partnership agreements scenario; the potential revenue effects on the country under the same platform; the potential welfare effects on the country under the same platform; and the sensitive products for the country based on source and volume of import criteria. World integrated trade solutions (WITS) provided access to international trade and protection related data and offered built-in-analytical tools for the study. Results of the analysis on patterns of import of the country showed that Nigeria imported much of her agricultural products from the Rest of the World (ROW), and least from ECOWAS region. Product group 10(cereals) constituted 38.50% of the total imports. Result on Potential Import Effect of EPAs, showed that Nigeria will gain $35330.1 million in “Trade Creation” and looses $14947.484 million in terms of “Trade Diversion”, with Total Import Effect amounting to $50277.6 million. Result on the Potential Tariff Revenue Effect showed total likely tariff revenue loss of -$16666.7 million for the country. Result on Potential welfare effect showed likely welfare gains of $2238.8 million for the consumers in all the agricultural products studied. Result on sensitive products based on source and volume criteria, showed that product groups 3, 4 and 15 were identified to house potential sensitive products for the country and should be exempted from EPAs. It is also recommended that .fiscal measures such as Value-Added Tax (VAT) should be imposed on imported duty-free food products from the EU to reduce revenue loss from Nigeria.

description: A path integral in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity is given by integrating over the volume of the moduli of Riemann surfaces with boundaries, known as the "Weil-Petersson volume," together with integrals over wiggles along the boundaries. The exact computation of the Weil-Petersson volume $V_{g,n}(b_1, \ldots, b_n)$ is difficult when the genus $g$ becomes large. We utilize two partial differential equations known to hold on the Weil-Petersson volumes to estimate asymptotic behaviors of the volume with two boundaries $V_{g,2}(b_1, b_2)$ and the volume with three boundaries $V_{g,3}(b_1, b_2, b_3)$ when the genus $g$ is large. Furthermore, we present a conjecture on the asymptotic expression for general $V_{g,n}(b_1, \ldots, b_n)$ with $n$ boundaries when $g$ is large.

Badhamia

description: Badhamia sp. (2 FC, 1 loc, 1 ps, Fig. 6A&B)
 Loc. 2 Mahé: On fallen leaf of palm Nephrosperma vanhoutteanum, AM 3047, TK2795, MM47933 (2FC).
 This stalked species has umbilicate and yellow sporocarps. The slender stalk is not furrowed and is 0.93 mm long, black at the base then orange-yellow to orange-red at the top. The peridium is yellow with white lime. Opened specimens show orange-red at the base and bright yellow nodes stretched from the stalk to the peridium. Under the microscope, the spores are 8– 9 μm, smooth, clear. The capillitium consists of yellow granular nodes 225 μm long x 9 μm thick, stretched from stalk to peridium. Hypothallus black. Altogether, these features distinguish this specimen from all known species of Badhamia or Physarum.

description: In this paper we explore generalizations of metric structures of the gravitational wave type to geometries containing an independent connection. The aim is simply to establish a new category of connections compatible, according to some criteria, to the known metric structures for gravitational waves and, additionally, provide some properties that can be useful for the search of solutions of this kind in different theories.

description: This thesis develops a model for allocation of effort in principal-agent relations for two special situations. In the first case the principal hired an agent but is not sure about the skillfulness of the agent. In the second case the principal is risk averse. We illuminate how the different situations influence the amount of control of the principal and the initiative of the agent. Companies significantly depend on the output and therefore effort of their employees. Initiative of their employees is the force that drives their success. The supervision of employees and the resulting effort the agents will put into fulfilling their tasks are described by a game theoretical principal-agent model. If we take for instance a research and development department, the challenge of the company's corporate management is to balance the control over the output of the agents and on the other hand leave the agent enough room for their decisions. Too much surveillance can jeopardize the motivation of the employee to create valuable results. We base our investigation on the game theoretical model of the principal-agent relation from Aghion and Tirole (Aghion & Tirole, 1997). In their paper they developed a theory of allocation of authority where they could show the balance of loss of control of the principal versus initiative of the agent. Starting from their viewpoint we modify the model and add additional parameters to see how this tradeoff of supervision of principal and initiative of the agent changes. Two situations are analyzed in detail: 1) The ability of the agent is not known Even though a company may have a very sophisticated recruiting process, the project manager is never 100% sure about the abilities of her project members. Some members are perfectly suited for the given task, but others may, for whatever reason, be 'at the wrong place'. The project manager (principal) has only a probability that her agent is skilled. She has to choose the optimal allocation of supervision depending on the possible types of the agent. 2) The principal is risk averse The ability of the agent is known, but the principal is risk averse with regard to her net benefit. We will see how her cautious behavior influences the effort of the agent. Expectation and behavior of the principal directly influences the agent who reacts on the given situation. We investigate the mechanism how the agent responds and describe a way to avoid demotivation. In the last chapter, we present three cases where companies were able to raise the motivation of their employees and at the same time raise the success of the company.

description: The aim of this paper is to determine the impact of Southern Africa Common External Tariff (CET) on the economy of Lesotho using a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. Lesotho Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) was the core database and a base scenario for the application of a CGE model. The result indicate that CET for non-SACU (Southern African Custom Union) members were likely to cause significant decrease in exports of textile the main export product of Lesotho. The quantity of agriculture export varies from -1.78% (raw wool) to 0.25% (egg), the highest increase of quantity export observed in egg sector and the lowest quantity of export observed in raw wool sector. The quantity of agricultural import decreased in general, it ranges from -3.74% for skin and hide sector and -0.76% for egg sub-sector. In the textile sector, the quantity of aggregated marketed commodities was decreasing significantly. Quantity of aggregated marketed for processing of grain and grain products increase by 1.58%. Output prices and intermediate aggregate inputs of micro industry were increasing. Agricultural output decreased by 0.63%. CET also causes Lesotho household welfare, labour and capital to decline. The study concludes that CET within SACU (South African Custom Union) region will not benefit Lesotho, a country with a fragile economy. Lesotho should strength trade partnership with Rest of the world in order to boost the economy of the country.

description: Three-body interactions are ubiquitous in astrophysics. For instance, Kozai-Lidov oscillations in hierarchical triple systems have been studied extensively and applied to a wide range of astrophysical systems. However, mildly-hierarchical triples also play an important role, but they are less explored. In this work we consider the secular dynamics of a test particle in a mildly-hierarchical configuration. We find the limit within which the secular approximation is reliable, present resonances and chaotic regions using surface of sections, and characterize regions of phase space that allow large eccentricity and inclination variations. Finally, we apply the secular results to the outer solar system. We focus on the distribution of extreme trans-neptunian objects (eTNOs) under the perturbation of a possible outer planet (Planet-9), and find that in addition to a low inclination Planet-9, a polar or a counter-orbiting one could also produce pericenter clustering of eTNOs, while the polar one leads to a wider spread of eTNO inclinations.

description: Data from e+e- annihilation into hadrons collected by the JADE experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 14 and 44 GeV were used to study the 4-jet rate using the Durham algorithm as well as the first five moments of event shape observables. The data were compared with NLO QCD predictions, augmented by resummed NLLA calculations for the 4-jet rate, in order to extract values of the strong coupling constant alpha_S. The preliminary results are alpha_S(MZ) = 0.1169 +/- 0.0026 (4-jet rate) and alpha_S(MZ) = 0.1286 +/- 0.0072 (moments) consistent with the world average value. For some of the higher moments systematic deficiencies of the QCD predictions are observed.

description: The dawn of the global economy which ushered in trade liberalization has been greeted with mixed feelings among developing countries. This is because liberalization rarely brings about a zero-sum welfare gain among asymmetric participating countries. However, one critical aspect of globalization that can benefit developing countries is the encouragement of foreign sourcing. Outsourcing and foreign direct investment (FDI) will bring about strategic linkages with local buyers, suppliers and other institutions. Against this background, this study makes a case for foreign sourcing in the rice sector vis-à-vis the absorptive capacity of the sector over a projected 10-year (2013-2023) period in Nigeria. It subsequently modelled the welfare implication of FDI and outsourcing on the host nation.This study emphasized the need for increased investment that will enhance technological spillovers to the local producers. The model suggests that at a low level of human capital and high absorptive capacity, it benefits the country to first encourage FDI and subsequently encourage more of outsourcing as it is a better welfare enhancing strategy.The study concludes by recommending the setting up of attractive investment environments and the formulation of sound domestic and macroeconomic policy that would make the country more attractive for investors.
Relativistic partial waves for celestial amplitudes

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The formalism of relativistic partial wave expansion is developed for four-point celestial amplitudes of massless external particles. In particular, relativistic partial waves are found as eigenfunctions to the product representation of celestial Poincaré Casimir operators with appropriate eigenvalues. The requirement of hermiticity of Casimir operators is used to fix the corresponding integral inner product, and orthogonality of the obtained relativistic partial waves is verified explicitly. The completeness relation, as well as the relativistic partial wave expansion follow. Example celestial amplitudes of scalars, gluons, gravitons and open superstring gluons are expanded on the basis of relativistic partial waves for demonstration. A connection with the formulation of relativistic partial waves in the bulk of Minkowski space is made in appendices.

description: We consider a model in which dark matter consists of a large self-interacting component (SIDM particles) and a small component with strong interactions with baryons (SIMPs). We show that the DAMA annual modulation signal can be caused by SIDM particles interacting with SIMPs trapped in iodine nuclei in the DAMA/NaI detector.

description: The effect of transformations analogous to those of the real-space renormalization group are analyzed for the temporal occurrence of earthquakes. The distribution of recurrence times turns out to be invariant under such transformations, for which the role of the correlations between the magnitudes and the recurrence times are fundamental. A general form for the distribution is derived imposing only the self-similarity of the process, which also yields a scaling relation between the Gutenberg-Richter b-value, the exponent characterizing the correlations, and the recurrence-time exponent. This approach puts the study of the structure of seismicity in the context of critical phenomena.
