description: Using the Thermal-Region Camera and Spectrograph (T-ReCS) attached to the Gemini South 8m telescope, we have detected and resolved 10 micron emission at the position of the inner equatorial ring (ER) of supernova SN 1987A at day 6067. ``Hot spots'' similar to those found in the optical and near-IR are clearly present. The morphology of the 10 micron emission is globally similar to the morphology at other wavelengths from X-rays to radio. The observed mid-IR flux in the region of SN1987A is probably dominated by emission from dust in the ER. We have also detected the ER at 20 micron at a 4 sigma level. Assuming that thermal dust radiation is the origin of the mid-IR emission, we derive a dust temperature of 180^{+20}_{-10} K, and a dust mass of 1.- 8. 10^{-5} Mo for the ER. Our observations also show a weak detection of the central ejecta at 10 micron. We show that previous bolometric flux estimates (through day 2100) were not significantly contaminated by this newly discovered emission from the ER. If we assume that the energy input comes from radioactive decays only, our measurements together with the current theoretical models set a temperature of 90 leq T leq 100 K and a mass range of 10^{-4} - 2. 10^{-3} Mo for the dust in the ejecta. With such dust temperatures the estimated thermal emission is 9(+/-3) 10^{35} erg s^{-1} from the inner ring, and 1.5 (+/-0.5) 10^{36} erg s^{-1} from the ejecta. Finally, using SN 1987A as a template, we discuss the possible role of supernovae as major sources of dust in the Universe.

description: Crystallization kinetics has features that are universal and independent of the type of crystallized system. The possibility of using scaling relations to describe the temperature dependences of the surface self-diffusion coefficient $D_s$, which is one of the key characteristics of crystallization kinetics, has been demonstrated in application to various crystallized molecular glasses. It has been shown that the surface self-diffusion coefficient $D_s$ as a function of the dimensionless temperature is reproduced by a power law and is universally scaled for all considered systems. The analysis of experimental data has revealed a correlation between the crystallization kinetic characteristics, index of fragility, and criterion of the glass-forming ability of a liquid. It has been shown that this correlation can be obtained within the generalized Einstein-Stokes relation.

Subjects: Crop Production/Industries

description: The horticulture sector in Ghana has fast become attractive due the increased income that it is perceived to be generating. However, the pineapple value chain is faced with certain constraints that make it difficult to operate in. Due to these challenges, the relationships in the pineapple value chain is weak. These concerns gave rise to the interest to identify the inefficiencies in the pineapple chain and how these have affected productivity and profits in this sector. The main objective of the study is to carry out a value chain analysis of pineapple in the Greater Accra and Central Regions of Ghana. The specific objectives are: To identify the causes of low productivity and inefficiencies of actors in the pineapple value chain in order to add value and meet consumers expectations. To map out and analyze relationships between actors in the chain to strengthen and improve the pineapple value chain. The study aims at understanding the relationships and dynamics within the pineapple value chain and what implications these have on all actors. The main development contribution of this study is to provide evidence-based, relevant and detailed guide for appropriate and effective interventions. Acknowledgement :

description: Radiometeric CMB measurements need to be highly stable and this stability is best obtained with differential receivers. The residual 1/f noise in the differential output is strongly dependent on the radiometer input offset which can be cancelled using various balancing strategies. In this paper we discuss a software method implemented in the Planck-LFI pseudo-correlation receivers which uses a tunable "gain modulation factor, r, in the sky-load difference. Numerical simulations and experimental data show how proper tuning of the parameter r ensures a very stable differential output with knee frequencies of the order of few mHz. Various approaches to calculate r using the radiometer total power data are discussed with some examples relevant to Planck-LFI. Although the paper focuses on pseudo-correlation receivers and the examples are relative to Planck-LFI, the proposed method and its analysis is general and can be applied to a large class of differential radiometric receivers.

description: A threshold specification of the asymmetric error correction model is applied to estimate and test the threshold cointegrating relationship between the wholesale paddy price (farm price) and wholesale rice price, and the wholesale and retail price of rice in Cambodia. Based on our analysis, the threshold cointegration test suggests in favor of asymmetric cointegration. Further, the test of the symmetric adjustment process advocates the presence of asymmetric price transmission in both the short run and long run. The Granger causality test revealed a unidirectional causality from wholesale price to farm price, and a bidirectional causality between wholesale and retail price. Finally, we found that decreases in wholesale price are more quickly transmitted to farmers than price increases. Conversely, increases in wholesale price are more quickly transmitted to consumers than price decreases. For faster price transmission, improved market infrastructure, better market integration, and dispersion of marketing information are suggested.

Year: 2025

description: The "Intelligent Campus Transport Management System" enhances campus mobility through an integrated Android app and website, catering to four user roles: administrator, student, faculty, and driver. Administrators manage comprehensive data for buses, students, faculty, and drivers. Students access real-time bus tracking, submit personal details, and report grievances. Faculty utilize the platform for similar bus tracking and grievance submission. Critically,  for sensitive inquiries, the system facilitates escalation to the bus manager for personalized attention. Leveraging Wi- Fi API modules in buses, the central control unit collects real-time location data, updating the central database. This data, combined with user-provided information, empowers the system to provide accurate, up-to-the- minute transit information. The system improves communication, streamlines issue resolution through the grievance mechanism, and ultimately enhances the campus transportation experience by providing transparency and responsiveness.

description: Lambda Prolog is known to be well-suited for expressing and implementing logics and inference systems. We show that lemmas and definitions in such logics can be implemented with a great economy of expression. We encode a higher-order logic using an encoding that maps both terms and types of the object logic (higher-order logic) to terms of the metalanguage (Lambda Prolog). We discuss both the Terzo and Teyjus implementations of Lambda Prolog. We also encode the same logic in Twelf and compare the features of these two metalanguages for our purposes.

description: We address the question of the multiplicativity of the maximal p-norm output purities of bosonic Gaussian channels under Gaussian inputs. We focus on general Gaussian channels resulting from the reduction of unitary dynamics in larger Hilbert spaces. It is shown that the maximal output purity of tensor products of single-mode channels under Gaussian inputs is multiplicative for any p>1 for products of arbitrary identical channels as well as for a large class of products of different channels. In the case of p=2 multiplicativity is shown to be true for arbitrary products of generic channels acting on any number of modes.

description: Maunakea, the proposed site of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), is a lightning-rod topic for Native Hawaiians, Hawaii residents, and the international astronomy community. In this paper we, Native Hawaiian natural scientists and allies, identify historical decisions that impact current circumstances on Maunakea and provide approaches to acknowledging their presence. Our aim is to provide an Indigenous viewpoint centered in Native Hawaiian perspectives on the impacts of the TMT project on the Hawaiian community. We summarize the current Maunakea context from the perspective of the authors who are trained in the natural sciences (inclusive of and beyond astronomy and physics), the majority of whom are Native Hawaiian or Indigenous. We highlight three major themes in the conflict surrounding TMT: 1) physical demonstrations and the use of law enforcement against the protectors of Maunakea; 2) an assessment of the benefit of Maunakea astronomy to Native Hawaiians; and 3) the disconnect between astronomers and Native Hawaiians. We close with general short- and long- term recommendations for the astronomy community, which represent steps that can be taken to re-establish trust and engage in meaningful reciprocity and collaboration with Native Hawaiians and other Indigenous communities. Our recommendations are based on established best principles of free, prior, and informed consent and researcher-community interactions that extend beyond transactional exchanges. We emphasize that development of large-scale astronomical instrumentation must be predicated on consensus from the local Indigenous community about whether development is allowed on their homelands. Proactive steps must be taken to center Indigenous voices in the earliest stages of project design.

description: In spite of agriculture being an important source of income growth and a potential source of investment opportunities in Kenya, farmers face numerous production risks including climate change and variability. While literature suggests that crop insurance has the potential to unlock key services that enhance farm productivity, crop insurance uptake evidence is limited, hence, this study sought to inform on ways of making crop insurance work for the smallholder producers. Data was collected from 400 maize-producing households in areas where weather index-based insurance had been promoted. Results show that uptake of crop insurance is very low and declining and, the insurance concept is also not well understood by farmers. In addition, basis risk hinders uptake of crop insurance since farmers exhibited high levels of dissatisfaction with claim payments. Furthermore, awareness and training on crop insurance, density of automated weather stations and ownership of savings account are integral factors in enhancing its uptake. Our findings therefore highlight the need to educate farmers on the principles of crop insurance and different products that exist. Similarly, designing of crop insurance products and selection of target crop enterprises should involve all stakeholders to enhance uptake. Acknowledgement :

description: We study the scrambling of quantum information in local random unitary circuits by focusing on the tripartite information proposed by Hosur et al. We provide exact results for the averaged Rényi-$2$ tripartite information in two cases: (i) the local gates are Haar random and (ii) the local gates are dual-unitary and randomly sampled from a single-site Haar-invariant measure. We show that the latter case defines a one-parameter family of circuits, and prove that for a "maximally chaotic" subset of this family quantum information is scrambled faster than in the Haar-random case. Our approach is based on a standard mapping onto an averaged folded tensor network, that can be studied by means of appropriate recurrence relations. By means of the same method, we also revisit the computation of out-of-time-ordered correlation functions, re-deriving known formulae for Haar-random unitary circuits, and presenting an exact result for maximally chaotic random dual-unitary gates.

description: We investigate, experimentally and theoretically, the dynamic optical hysteresis of a coherently driven cavity with non-instantaneous photon-photon interactions. By scanning the frequency detuning between the driving laser and the cavity resonance at different speeds across an optical bistability, we find a hysteresis area that is a non-monotonic function of the scanning speed. As the scanning speed increases and approaches the memory time of the photon-photon interactions, the hysteresis area decays following a power law with exponent -1. The exponent of this power law is independent of the system parameters. To reveal this universal scaling behavior theoretically, we introduce a memory kernel for the interaction term in the standard driven-dissipative Kerr model. Our results offer new perspectives for exploring non-Markovian dynamics of light using arrays of bistable cavities with low quality factors, driven by low laser powers, and at room temperature.

Propagation of non-linear circularly polarised Alfven waves in a homogeneous medium

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We study the evolution of non-linear circularly polarised Alfven waves by solving numerically the time-dependent equations of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in one dimension. We examine the behaviour of the waves and find that different physical mechanisms are relevant in different ranges of beta. In a low beta plasma the wave may undergo a parametric decay. This is because the wave excites a density enhancement that travels slower than the wave itself and thus interacts with the wave. When beta is greater or equal to one the density enhancement does not interact with the wave and no decay takes place, instead the Alfven wave is reflected against the density enhancement. The reflection zone propagates with the speed 1/n of the Alfven speed. Because of that the magnetic flux is conserved which results in an amplification of the oscillating magnetic field by a factor 1/n. We find that n depends on beta, and that in particular it is less or equal to one for values of beta ~ 1 and is greater or equal to one for beta >> 1. We discuss the relevance of these mechanisms to the acceleration of the solar wind, and the triggering of MHD turbulence in the polar wind region. In particular these simulations can explain the presence of inward propagating Alfven waves in the solar corona.

description: The generation of large-scale magnetic fields is studied in dilaton electromagnetism in inflationary cosmology, taking into account the dilaton's evolution throughout inflation and reheating until it is stabilized with possible entropy production. It is shown that large-scale magnetic fields with observationally interesting strength at the present time could be generated if the conformal invariance of the Maxwell theory is broken through the coupling between the dilaton and electromagnetic fields in such a way that the resultant quantum fluctuations in the magnetic field has a nearly scale-invariant spectrum. If this condition is met, the amplitude of the generated magnetic field could be sufficiently large even in the case huge amount of entropy is produced with the dilution factor $\sim 10^{24}$ as the dilaton decays.

description: A realistic description of partially-ionized matter in extreme thermodynamic states is critical to model the interior and evolution of the multiplicity of high-density astrophysical objects. Current predictions of its essential property, the ionization degree, rely widely on analytical approximations that have been challenged recently by a series of experiments. Here, we propose a novel ab initio approach to calculate the ionization degree directly from the dynamic electrical conductivity using the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn sum rule. This Density Functional Theory framework captures genuinely the condensed matter nature and quantum effects typical for strongly-correlated plasmas. We demonstrate this new capability for carbon and hydrocarbon, which most notably serve as ablator materials in inertial confinement fusion experiments aiming at recreating stellar conditions. We find a significantly higher carbon ionization degree than predicted by commonly used models, yet validating the qualitative behavior of the average atom model Purgatorio. Additionally, we find the carbon ionization state to remain unchanged in the environment of fully-ionized hydrogen. Our results will not only serve as benchmark for traditional models, but more importantly provide an experimentally accessible quantity in the form of the electrical conductivity.

description: In modern information systems different information features, about the same individual, are often collected and managed by autonomous data collection services that may have different privacy policies. Answering many end-users' legitimate queries requires the integration of data from multiple such services. However, data integration is often hindered by the lack of a trusted entity, often called a mediator, with which the services can share their data and delegate the enforcement of their privacy policies. In this paper, we propose a flexible privacy-preserving data integration approach for answering data integration queries without the need for a trusted mediator. In our approach, services are allowed to enforce their privacy policies locally. The mediator is considered to be untrusted, and only has access to encrypted information to allow it to link data subjects across the different services. Services, by virtue of a new privacy requirement, dubbed k-Protection, limiting privacy leaks, cannot infer information about the data held by each other. End-users, in turn, have access to privacy-sanitized data only. We evaluated our approach using an example and a real dataset from the healthcare application domain. The results are promising from both the privacy preservation and the performance perspectives.

description: We are concerned with stochastic processes on surfaces in three-dimensional contact sub-Riemannian manifolds. Employing the Riemannian approximations to the sub-Riemannian manifold which make use of the Reeb vector field, we obtain a second order partial differential operator on the surface arising as the limit of Laplace-Beltrami operators. The stochastic process associated with the limiting operator moves along the characteristic foliation induced on the surface by the contact distribution. We show that for this stochastic process elliptic characteristic points are inaccessible, while hyperbolic characteristic points are accessible from the separatrices. We illustrate the results with examples and we identify canonical surfaces in the Heisenberg group, and in ${\rm SU}(2)$ and ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ equipped with the standard sub-Riemannian contact structures as model cases for this setting. Our techniques further allow us to derive an expression for an intrinsic Gaussian curvature of a surface in a general three-dimensional contact sub-Riemannian manifold.

description: In der 2017 beim Musikfest Berlin uraufgeführten, etwa 83-minütigen Komposition Yes sieht Rebecca Saunders nicht ohne Grund ihr bisheriges Hauptwerk. Obschon dieser Begriff, versteht man ihn zu eindimensional und teleologisch, auch seine problematischen Seiten haben mag, lässt sich die These vertreten, dass erhebliche Teile ihres früheren Schaffens auf diesen besonderen Kristallisationspunkt ihres Komponierens gewissermaßen zulaufen. Nachfolgend geht es nicht darum, die vielfältigen Querbezüge in umfassender Weise aufzulisten, sondern eher um eine durch Analysen sowie die Einsicht in Werkskizzen grundierte Beschreibung einzelner wesentlicher Momente dieses in sich enorm aufgefächerten Werkkomplexes. Doch geht dem eine Reflexion über ein weit weniger komplexes Stück voraus, das jener Phase ihres Schaffens entstammt, in der Rebecca Saunders überregional bekannt wurde. Dies geschieht mit Bedacht – werden doch darin bereits jene Spuren der Literatur von James Joyce erfahrbar, die gerade für die Komposition Yes und ihre höchst ungewöhnliche Art des Ausdrucks bedeutsam sind.

description: Well-being of farm workers is necessary in order to foster farming sustainability. We contribute with the research on well-being, exploring on what extent farm-level features influence farmers satisfaction with their work and with their quality of life, using a data sample of 1099 farms in nine European countries. Results suggest that satisfaction with the farm work has a significant and large influence on the satisfaction with the quality of life. Farm-level aspects such as working time, age of assets, financial situation of the farm and social engagement significantly influence farmers satisfaction with farming but their joint effect explains less than a quarter of it.

description: This executive summary provides a concise overview of a study conducted at the University of British Columbia (UBC) regarding the potential expansion of bouldering facilities on campus. Bouldering has gained popularity for its physical and mental health benefits. The study aimed to assess interest and gather insights from the UBC community through a literature review and survey. The literature review highlighted bouldering's inclusivity, physical activity promotion, and mental health benefits, emphasizing its potential to foster a diverse and supportive community. The survey, completed by 565 individuals, revealed a strong demand for expanding bouldering facilities, with current climbers and newcomers expressing interest. Based on survey findings, UBC Recreation was recommended to offer introductory classes, equipment rentals, and inclusive pricing options. Suggestions for facility features such as boulder-focused training areas and colour-coded routes were proposed to enhance the bouldering experience. Overall, the study findings support the case for expanding bouldering facilities at UBC, aligning with the interests and needs of the UBC community. The recommendations aim to ensure that the expansion caters to diverse users, promoting inclusivity, physical activity, and mental well-being on campus.

description: We consider the general conditions of quark droplets formation in high density neutron matter. The growth of the quark bubble (assumed to contain a sufficiently large number of particles) can be described by means of a Fokker-Planck equation. The dynamics of the nucleation essentially depends on the physical properties of the medium it takes place. The conditions for quark bubble formation are analyzed within the frameworks of both dissipative and non-dissipative (with zero bulk and shear viscosity coefficients) approaches. The conversion time of the neutron star to a quark star is obtained as a function of the equation of state of the neutron matter and of the microscopic parameters of the quark nuclei. As an application of the obtained formalism we analyze the first order phase transition from neutron matter to quark matter in rapidly rotating neutron stars cores, triggered by the gravitational energy released during the spinning down of the neutron star. The endothermic conversion process, via gravitational energy absorption, could take place, in a very short time interval, of the order of few tens seconds, in a class of dense compact objects, with very high magnetic fields, called magnetars.

description: The correspondence between Poisson structures and symplectic groupoids, analogous to the one of Lie algebras and Lie groups, plays an important role in Poisson geometry; it offers, in particular, a unifying framework for the study of hamiltonian and Poisson actions. In this paper, we extend this correspondence to the context of Dirac structures twisted by a closed 3-form. More generally, given a Lie groupoid $G$ over a manifold $M$, we show that multiplicative 2-forms on $G$ relatively closed with respect to a closed 3-form $ϕ$ on $M$ correspond to maps from the Lie algebroid of $G$ into the cotangent bundle $T^*M$ of $M$, satisfying an algebraic condition and a differential condition with respect to the $ϕ$-twisted Courant bracket. This correspondence describes, as a special case, the global objects associated to twisted Dirac structures. As applications, we relate our results to equivariant cohomology and foliation theory, and we give a new description of quasi-hamiltonian spaces and group-valued momentum maps.

description: Indian coffee sector is at an important point of transition, wedged between quality and value segments of the market. The trend towards Robusta has reduced the share of Arabica coffee resulting in moving away from the quality segment of the market. The value chain analysis of conventional, certified, and organic coffee indicated that chains for coffee are largely diffuse in nature, with limited coordination in terms of quality and specifications in the conventional chain. Coordination is stronger in certified and organic chains, but incentives and motivation for upgrading largely stem from individual efforts to add value rather than those taking place at the chain-level. Clearly, organic and certified coffee proved to beneficial as compared to conventional coffee in terms of gains to the actors and sustainability point of view. There is a potential niche for India to develop eco-friendly coffees by leveraging the natural environment and biodiversity present in its coffee growing region Western Ghats, a hotspot of biodiversity. These suggest that integrating sustainability principles in a broad-based branding strategy could be difficult at the level of the chain without institutional support or the entry of chain champions.
