description: An unknown small-x behavior of nucleon structure functions gives appreciable uncertainties to high-energy neutrino-nucleon cross-sections. We construct structure functions using at small x Regge inspired description by A. Donnachie and P. V. Landshoff with soft and hard pomerons, and employing at larger x the perturbative QCD expressions. The smooth interpolation between two regimes for each Q^2 is provided with the help of simple polynomial functions. To obtain low-x neutrino-nucleon structure functions $F_2^{νN, \bar νN}(x,Q^2)$ and singlet part of $F_{3}^{νN,\bar νN}(x,Q^2)$ from Donnachie-Landshoff function $F_2^{ep}(x,Q^2)$, we use the Q^2-dependent ratios R_2(Q^2) and R_3(Q^2) derived from perturbative QCD calculations. Non-singlet part of F_3 at low x, which is very small, is taken as power-law extrapolation of perturbative function at larger x. This procedure gives a full set of smooth neutrino-nucleon structure functions in the whole range of x and Q^2 at interest. Using these structure functions, we have calculated the neutrino-nucleon cross-sections and compared them with some other cross-sections known in literature. Our cross-sections turn out to be the highest among them at the highest energies, which is explained by contribution of the hard pomeron.

Human genetics of infectious diseases

description: Abstract: Identifying genetic risk factors for parasitic infections such as the leishmaniases could provide important leads for improved therapies and vaccines. Until recently most genetic studies of human leishmaniasis were underpowered and/or not replicated. Here, we focus on recent genome-wide association studies of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). For VL, analysis across 2287 cases and 2692 controls from three cohorts identified a single major peak of genome-wide significance (Pcombined = 2.76 × 10–17) at HLA-DRB1–HLA-DQA1. HLA-DRB1*1501 and DRB1*1404/DRB1*1301 were the most significant protective versus risk alleles, respectively, with specific residues at amino acid positions 11 and 13 unique to protective alleles. Epitope-binding studies showed higher frequency of basic AAs in DRB1*1404-/*1301-specific epitopes compared to hydrophobic and polar AAs in DRB1*1501-specific epitopes at anchor residues P4 and P6 which interact with residues at DRB1 positions 11 and 13. For CL, genome-wide significance was not achieved in combined analysis of 2066 cases and 2046 controls across 2 cohorts. Rather, multiple top hits at P < 5 × 10–5 were observed, amongst which IFNG-AS1 was of specific interest as a non-coding anti-sense RNA known to influence responses to pathogens by increasing IFN-γ secretion. Association at LAMP3 encoding dendritic cell lysosomal associated membrane protein 3 was also interesting. LAMP3 increases markedly upon activation of dendritic cells, localizing to the MHC Class II compartment immediately prior to translocation of Class II to the cell surface. Together these GWAS results provide firm confirmation for the importance of antigen presentation and the regulation of IFNγ in determining the outcome of Leishmania infections.

description: This paper provides the first estimates of the effects of climate change on agriculture while explicitly modeling tile drainage. We show in a simple conceptual model that the value of precipitation should differ between drained and non-drained land, implying that pooling these lands could bias estimates of the effects of climate change on land values. We test this hypothesis by estimating a Structural Ricardian model for U.S. counties east of the 100th meridian. Consistent with our theoretical model, our estimates show that the value of precipitation is higher on non-drained lands.

description: We investigate Extremely Red Quasars (ERQs), a remarkable population of heavily-reddened quasars at redshift z$\sim$2 - 3 that might be caught during a short-lived 'blow-out' phase of quasar/galaxy evolution. We perform a near-IR observational campaign using Keck/NIRSPEC, VLT/X-shooter and Gemini/GNIRS to measure rest-frame optical spectra of 28 ERQs with median infrared luminosity $\langle$log L(erg/s)$\rangle$ $\sim$46.2. They exhibit the broadest and most blue-shifted [OIII] $λ$4959,5007 emission lines ever reported, with widths (w90) ranging between 2053 and 7227 km/s, and maximum outflow speeds (v98) up to 6702 km/s. ERQs on average have [OIII] outflows velocities about 3 times larger than those of luminosity-matched blue quasar samples. We show that the faster [OIII] outflows in ERQs are strongly correlated with their extreme red colors and not with radio-loudness, larger quasar luminosities, nor higher Eddington ratios. We estimate for these objects that at least 3-5 per cent of their bolometric luminosity is being converted into the kinetic power of the observed wind. Our results reveal that ERQs have the potential to strongly affect the evolution of host galaxies.

description: In the first part of this work we review the equations of motion for the brane presented in Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) form, when bulk is five-dimensional (A)dS Black Hole. The spacelike (timelike) FRW brane equations are considered from the point of view of their representation in the form similar to two-dimensional CFT entropy, so-called Cardy-Verlinde (CV) formula. The following five-dimensional gravities are reviewed: Einstein, Einstein-Maxwell and Einstein with brane quantum corrections. The second part of the work is devoted to study FRW brane equations and their representation in CV form, brane induced matter and brane cosmology in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (GB) gravity. In particular, we focus on the inflationary brane cosmology. The energy conditions for brane matter are also analyzed. We show that for some values of GB coupling constant (bulk is AdS BH) the brane matter is not CFT. Its energy density and pressure are not always positive.

description: Abstract: In ergodic physical systems, time-averaged quantities converge (for large times) to their ensemble-averaged values. Large deviation theory describes rare events where these time averages differ significantly from the corresponding ensemble averages. It allows estimation of the probabilities of these events, and their mechanisms. This theory has been applied to a range of physical systems, where it has yielded new insights into entropy production, current fluctuations, metastability, transport processes, and glassy behaviour. We review some of these developments, identifying general principles. We discuss a selection of dynamical phase transitions, and we highlight some connections between large-deviation theory and optimal control theory. Graphical abstract:

description: In this paper, we estimate the efficiency of resource use for maize production among smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe. We collect a total of 176 questionnaires from Mazowe South district, consisting of both A1 (less than 10 hectares of land) and A2 (greater than 10 hectares of land) farms. Findings based on parametric Stochastic Frontier models show that smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe are not efficiently utilizing their available agricultural resources when producing maize. The average technical efficiencies are only 36.75% and 38.6% for A1 and A2 farms, respectively. About 60% of A1 and all A2 farmers have technical efficiency scores between 0.3 and 0.5. In the non-parametric analysis, however, we find a much higher technical efficiency for both types of farms, over 60% and 75% for A1 and A2 farms, respectively. Still, these numbers are lower than those found in other countries. Among other factors examined, attaining tertiary education and access to extension services by the head of the household can significantly improve production efficiency.

description: This work considers a generalization of Grover's search problem, viz., to find any one element in a set of acceptable choices which constitute a fraction f of the total number of choices in an unsorted data base. An infinite family of sure-success quantum algorithms are introduced here to solve this problem, each member for a different range of f. The nth member of this family involves n queries of the data base, and so the lowest few members of this family should be very convenient algorithms within their ranges of validity. The even member {A}_{2n} of the family covers ever larger range of f for larger n, which is expected to become the full range 0 <= f <= 1 in the limit n -->infinity.

description: The critical state is assumed to be optimal for any computation in recurrent neural networks, because criticality maximizes a number of abstract computational properties. We challenge this assumption by evaluating the performance of a spiking recurrent neural network on a set of tasks of varying complexity at - and away from critical network dynamics. To that end, we developed a spiking network with synaptic plasticity on a neuromorphic chip. We show that the distance to criticality can be easily adapted by changing the input strength, and then demonstrate a clear relation between criticality, task-performance and information-theoretic fingerprint. Whereas the information-theoretic measures all show that network capacity is maximal at criticality, this is not the case for performance on specific tasks: Only the complex, memory-intensive tasks profit from criticality, whereas the simple tasks suffer from it. Thereby, we challenge the general assumption that criticality would be beneficial for any task, and provide instead an understanding of how the collective network state should be tuned to task requirement to achieve optimal performance.

This combination model includes additive and multiplicative elements, which allows to incorporate new properties, which enhance the action selection. A given parameter a, which is part of the proposed model, allows to regulate the degree of dependence of the observed external behaviour from the internal states of the entity.

description: Wheat contamination issues of recent years harmed the reputation and customer trust of U.S. production and threatened U.S. exports. There would appear to be a need for research designed to identify and validate novel reactive strategies designed to maintain sustainable and competitive grain supply chains. This research attempts to identify cost-effective handling strategies to mitigate the genetically modified (GM) wheat contamination risks. We explicitly model the U.S. wheat supply chain in a realistic manner to embrace complexity inherent in the system. The specification of appropriate wheat handling strategies in the supply chain is formulated as system optimization problems and solved by using simulation. Once solved for a base scenario, sensitivity analysis is conducted on key variables that influence wheat quality testing strategies.

description: Traceability information is important for software maintenance, change impact analysis, software reusability, and other software engineering tasks. However, manually generating this information is costly. State-of-the-art automation approaches suffer from their imprecision and domain dependence. I propose INDIRECT, an intent-driven approach to automated requirements-to-code traceability. It combines natural language understanding and program analysis to generate intent models for both requirements and source code. Then INDIRECT learns a mapping between the two intent models. I expect that using the two intent models as base for the mapping poses a more precise and general approach. The intent models contain information such as the semantics of the statements, underlying concepts, and relations between them. The generation of the requirements intent model is divided into smaller subtasks by using an iterative natural language understanding. Likewise, the intent model for source code is built iteratively by identifying and understanding semantically related source code chunks.
Three dimensional hydrodynamic lattice-gas simulations of domain growth and self-assembly in binary immiscible and ternary amphiphilic fluids

description: We simulate the dynamics of phase assembly in binary immiscible fluids and ternary microemulsions using a three-dimensional hydrodynamic lattice gas approach. For critical spinodal decomposition we perform the scaling analysis in reduced variables introduced by Jury et al. and Kendon et al. We find a late-stage scaling exponent consistent with the inertial regime. However, as observed with the previous lattice-gas model of Appert et al. our data does not fall in the same range of reduced length and time as that of Kendon et al. For off-critical binary spinodal decomposition we observe a reduction of the effective exponent with the volume fraction of the minority phase. However, the n=1/3 Lifshitz-Slyzov-Wagner droplet coalescence exponent is not observed. Adding a sufficient number of surfactant particles to a critical quench of binary immiscible fluids produces a ternary bicontinuous microemulsion. We observe a change in scaling behaviour from algebraic to logarithmic growth for amphiphilic fluids in which the domain growth is not arrested. For formation of a microemulsion where the domain growth is halted we find a stretched exponential growth law provides the best fit to the data.

description: This research is motivated by the sharp increase in the number of patented fruit varieties developed by breeding programs at public universities in the United States. Such varieties are licensed to growers as a way to generate revenue for universities through the use of fees and royalties. Although the use of fees and royalties for patents has been well discussed in the economic literature, there is very little empirical work that examines these questions for varietal innovations in agriculture. Horticultural variety innovations are particularly interesting as they typically involve a demand-enhancing innovation rather than a cost-inducing innovation, and because, in most cases, the new varieties are only intended to replace a small share of production dedicated to existing varieties. We found evidence that fixed-fees under an exclusive contract was the most profitable for growers. For the innovator, the most profitable scheme was the exclusive per-box royalty contract. Our findings on potential profits for both adopters and innovators signal that exclusive contracting would outperform the non-exclusive licensing schemes. Given that the innovations are occurring at land-grant universities and that the technology is largely being distributed to U.S. growers, further work might consider the net societal impacts of the various licensing strategies; this would extend our analysis to consider the economic effects from licensing for the innovator as well as the effects for producers.

description: Abstract: Although the analysis of urban poverty has advanced towards the integration of objective and subjective approaches to assessing urban development, evaluation of quality of life in cities remains tied to a commodity framework which conceptualises it as the mere dotation of urban amenities. Multidimensional indicators of quality of life attempt to overcome this sort of restriction by considering broader informational spaces to assess well-being in cities. The capability approach has gone some way in addressing this as a multidimensional approach, however the interpretation of spatial phenomena has been absent from its application, meaning that the role of space in the configuration of urban poverty has been neglected. Drawing on cross-sectional data, this paper examines a multidimensional measure of urban poverty based on capabilities of young adults in Bogota in order to identify clusters of deprivation and affluence of well-being and determine levels of urban segregation based on this type of metric. The result is a spatialised index of capabilities that allow us to assess well-being from a perspective of socio-spatial differences. The findings support the importance of considering spatial patterning of capabilities in understanding poverty dynamics in cities. Spatialised capabilities may help to support urban policy design and promote greater understanding of spatial inequalities in cities.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We investigate the recently proposed natural double inflation model in supergravity. Chaotic inflation first takes place by virtue of the Nambu-Goldstone-like shift symmetry. During chaotic inflation, an initial value of second inflation (new inflation) is set, which is adequately far from the local maximum of the potential due to the small linear term in the Kähler potential. Then, primordial fluctuations within the present horizon scale may be produced during both inflations. Primordial fluctuations responsible for anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background radiation and the large scale structure are produced during chaotic inflation, while fluctuations on smaller scales are produced during new inflation. Because of the peculiar nature of new inflation, they can become as large as $10^{-1}$-$10^{-2}$, which may lead to the formation of primordial black holes.

description: We present the first observational limits on the predicted synchrotron signals from particle Dark Matter annihilation models in dwarf spheroidal galaxies at radio frequencies below 1 GHz. We use a combination of survey data from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) and the Giant Metre-wave Radio Telescope (GMRT) to search for diffuse radio emission from 14 dwarf spheroidal galaxies. For in-situ magnetic fields of 1 $μG$ and any plausible value for the diffusion coefficient, our limits do not constrain any Dark Matter models. However, for stronger magnetic fields our data might provide constraints comparable to existing limits from gamma-ray and cosmic ray observations. Predictions for the sensitivity of the upgraded MWA show that models with Dark Matter particle mass up to $\sim$ 1.6 TeV (1 TeV) may be constrained for magnetic field of 2 $μG$ (1 $μG$). While much deeper limits from the future low frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will challenge the LHC in searches for Dark Matter particles, the MWA provides a valuable first step toward the SKA at low frequencies.

Suicidal ideation

description: Abstract: Background: Suicidal ideation is subject to serious underestimation among existing public health studies. While numerous factors have been recognized in affecting suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB), the associated environmental risks have been poorly understood. Foremost among the various environment risks were air pollution, in particular, the PM2.5. The present study attempted to examine the relationship between PM2.5 level and local weekly index of suicidal ideation (ISI). Methods: Using Internet search query volumes in Baidu (2017), the largest internet search engine in China, we constructed a prefectural panel data (278 prefectures, 52 weeks) and employed dynamic panel GMM system estimation to analyze the relationship between weekly concentration of PM2.5 (Mean = 87 μg·m− 3) and the index of suicidal ideation (Mean = 49.9). Results: The results indicate that in the spring and winter, a 10 μg·m− 3 increase in the prior week’s PM2.5 in a Chinese city is significantly associated with 0.020 increase in ISI in spring and a 0.007 increase in ISI in winter, after taking account other co-pollutants and meteorological conditions. Conclusion: We innovatively proposed the measure of suicidal ideation and provided suggestive evidence of a positive association between suicidal ideation and PM2.5 level.

description: Research has shown Bt technology improves mean yield and risk exposure of farmers. This paper investigates whether improvement in risk exposure from adoption of Bt and stacked trait corn has improved farmers’ desire to invest in their farm. Farmer risk perception is an important piece of this response and is modeled here in a framework that incorporates loss aversion as a function of farmer wealth. Results show that single trait Bt farmers had a significant mean yield increase while downside risk reduction was stronger for the stacked variety adopters. Stacked adopters also had greater investment response than other farmers establishing the importance of loss aversion in farming decisions. This paper adds to current research on Bt corn, other ways by which Bt technology may affect farmers and the wider economy. Particularly in developing countries where policies to encourage investment is important, this paper adds tools that help understand how to create such policies more effectively.

description: Understanding how signals for change are transmitted from primary consumer demand through the supply chain is key for long-term prosperity of the cattle industry. Zhao, Du, and Hennessy (2011) used Ricardian rent theory (RRT) to determine if complete pass-through occurs from fed cattle and corn prices to feeder cattle prices. Due to changes in the beef industry since 2004, this study updates and expands Zhao, Du, and Hennessy (2011). This article presents three analyses. First, an update using data from 2004 to 2016 is presented. Next, an analysis using futures market feeder and live cattle prices from 1994 to 2016 identifies four different regimes and tests RRT in each regime. Finally, Kansas cash feeder cattle and expected live cattle prices using historical basis are used to test RRT with two structural breaks. Evidence supporting RRT in cattle markets is mixed. The future direction of expansion for this study is discussed.

Critical percolation and A+B --> 2A dynamics

description: We study an interacting particle system in which moving particles activate dormant particles linked by the components of critical bond percolation. Addressing a conjecture from Beckman, Dinan, Durrett, Huo, and Junge for a continuous variant, we prove that the process can reach infinity in finite time i.e., explode. In particular, we prove that explosions occur almost surely on regular trees as well as oriented and unoriented two-dimensional integer lattices with sufficiently many particles per site. The oriented case requires an additional hypothesis about the existence and value of a certain critical exponent. We further prove that the process with one particle per site expands at a superlinear rate on integer lattices of any dimension. Some arguments use connections to critical first passage percolation, including a new result about the existence of an infinite path with finite passage time on the oriented two-dimensional lattice.

description: Conservation compliance rules are designed to reduce soil erosion by requiring farmers to comply with specific conservation standards in order to maintain their eligibility for federal assistance programs, such as subsidized crop insurance. Conservation compliance requirements are typically connected to farmers’ individual management actions and not the resulting outcomes (e.g., nutrient loading in watersheds). In this research, we develop policies to reduce nonpoint source (NPS) pollution that link access to agricultural subsidies to ambient levels of pollution and compliance with conservation goals. Four policy environments (treatments) are tested including: 1) no-policy control, 2) linear ambient tax, 3) subsidy reduction if ambient pollution exceeds an announced threshold, and 4) subsidy reduction based on ambient pollution that individuals can avoid by adopting a costly, pollution-reducing technology. Policies are tested using laboratory experiments in which undergraduate student subjects (n=156) act as firm managers. Each manager is assigned to a group comprised of six firms and asked to make production and technology decisions that affect the profitability of his/her firm and ambient water pollution for the group. Preliminary results suggest that participants are significantly more likely to adopt a costly, pollution-reducing technology and accept lower profits when adoption provides assurance that those individuals will not be penalized for ambient pollution levels. By merging a conservation compliance framework with a penalty for ambient pollution, this work contributes to the literature on innovative NPS policies.

Group agency

description: Abstract: Two theories dominate the current debate on group agency: functionalism, as endorsed by Bryce Huebner and Brian Epstein, and interpretivism, as defended by Deborah Tollefsen, and Christian List and Philip Pettit. In this paper, I will give a new argument to favour functionalism over interpretivism. I discuss a class of cases which the former, but not the latter, can accommodate. Two features characterise this class: First, distinct groups coincide, that is numerically distinct groups share all their members at all time. Second, we have access to the inner mechanisms of the groups agents, because members know what they have decided on. I construct a counterexample with these features allowing me to reject interpretivism about group agency in favour of functionalism.

description: The recently discovered negatively charged tin-vacancy centre in diamond is a promising candidate for applications in quantum information processing (QIP). We here present a detailed spectroscopic study encompassing single photon emission and polarisation properties, the temperature dependence of emission spectra as well as a detailed analysis of the phonon sideband and Debye-Waller factor. Using photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy (PLE) we probe an energetically higher lying excited state and prove fully lifetime limited linewidths of single emitters at cryogenic temperatures. For these emitters we also investigate the stability of the charge state under resonant excitation. These results provide a detailed insight into the spectroscopic properties of the $\text{SnV}^-$ centre and lay the foundation for further studies regarding its suitability in QIP.
