description: $\textit{R}$Mn$_6$Sn$_6$ ($R=$~Y,~Gd$-$Lu) kagome metals are promising materials hosting flat electronic bands and Dirac points that interact with magnetism. The coupling between the two magnetic $R$ and Mn sublattices can drive complex magnetic states with potential consequences for spin and charge transport and other topological properties. Here, we use a detailed magnetic Hamiltonian to calculate and predict the magnetic phase diagrams for $\textit{R}$Mn$_6$Sn$_6$ kagome metals within the mean-field approximation. These calculations reveal a variety of collinear, non-collinear, and non-coplanar phases that arise from competition between various interlayer magnetic exchange interactions and magnetic anisotropies of the $R$ and Mn ions. We enumerate these phases and their magnetic space groups for future analysis of their impact on topological and trivial bands near the Fermi surface.

description: Some perspectives on the tertiary educational process of the Elsenburg College of Agriculture are given. The challenges of promoting and ensuring sustainable farming practices are central to the training of future agriculturists. This training needs to acknowledge the fact that agriculture function within a broader system and that it cannot be isolated from its environment. Sustainable agriculture is an approach or philosophy based on human aims, which incorporates land stewardship with agricultural activities. The problem is that it is too often seen merely as an outcome - rather than a process of change. Although agricultural education is but one of many factors shaping the professional role of farmers, this process does play a fundamental role in the process of re-orientation towards sustainable agricultural production. Education and training should help the farmer develop a deep awareness of his role in the ecology - understanding, insight, and the sldlls necessary to participate in the sustainable utilisation and management of his environment. A course named Environmental Management was developed. Through action research a 'horizontal' approach was used for this, with participants evaluating the current status of the agricultural environment and themselves maldng suggestions and/or finding appropriate solutions to certain agricultural issues. The researcher functioned as a facilitator in this stimulating process. To strengthen the attempt to influence value systems of students, additional actions were taken: themes were developed, workshops were organised, video material was utilised, a Wildlife Society was founded, hildng trips were undertaken, etc. The article briefly summarises the development of the course. It warns that no single course has the power to truly change values of students towards multidisciplinary or holistic thinldng. To be able to really activate a positive change towards sustainable agricultural practice, the help of the full complement of subjects presented at colleges is needed.

description: Supermassive black hole binaries are the most promising source of gravitational-waves in the frequency band accessible to pulsar timing arrays. Most of these binaries will be too distant to detect individually, but together they will form an approximately stochastic background that can be detected by measuring the correlation pattern induced between pairs of pulsars. A small number of nearby and especially massive systems may stand out from this background and be detected individually. Analyses have previously been developed to search for stochastic signals and isolated signals separately. Here we present BayesHopper, an algorithm capable of jointly searching for both signal components simultaneously using trans-dimensional Bayesian inference. Our implementation uses the Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo method for sampling the relevant parameter space with changing dimensionality. We have tested BayesHopper on various simulated datasets. We find that it gives results consistent with fixed-dimensional methods when tested on data with a stochastic background or data with a single binary. For the full problem of analyzing a dataset with both a background and multiple black hole binaries, we find two kinds of interactions between the binary and background components. First, the background effectively increases the noise level, thus making individual binary signals less significant. Second, weak binary signals can be absorbed by the background model due to the natural parsimony of Bayesian inference. Because of its flexible model structure, we anticipate that BayesHopper will outperform existing approaches when applied to realistic data sets produced from population synthesis models.

Tridiagonal scalar mass matrix in the CP4 3HDM and its implications

description: When parametrizing multi-Higgs potentials, it is desirable to express its coefficients via observables. This is routinely done for the 2HDM, but this approach often fails in more elaborate models. Here, we show that the scalar sector of the CP4 3HDM, an intriguing model based on an order-4 $CP$ symmetry, can also be parametrized in an observable-driven manner. The key feature that makes it work is the very special tridiagonal form of the $5\times 5$ neutral Higgs mass matrix. We propose a set of input observables and present an algorithm to reconstruct the coefficients of the potential through linear relations. Equipped with this procedure, we explore the scalar sector of the CP4 3HDM beyond the limitations of previous studies. In particular, we identify a viable and testable regime in which all additional Higgses lie in the 300-600 GeV range. This work offers a key ingredient for a future full phenomenological scan of this model.

description: We describe a systematic framework for computing the conservative potential of a compact binary system using modern tools from scattering amplitudes and effective field theory. Our approach combines methods for integration and matching adapted from effective field theory, generalized unitarity, and the double-copy construction, which relates gravity integrands to simpler gauge-theory expressions. With these methods we derive the third post-Minkowskian correction to the conservative two-body Hamiltonian for spinless black holes. We describe in some detail various checks of our integration methods and the resulting Hamiltonian.

description: Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are well-studied in the local Universe, however, exactly how their properties vary during galaxy evolution is poorly understood due to challenging resolution requirements, both observational and computational. We present the first time-dependent analysis of giant molecular clouds in a Milky Way-like galaxy and an LMC-like dwarf galaxy of the FIRE-2 (Feedback In Realistic Environments) simulation suite, which have sufficient resolution to predict the bulk properties of GMCs in cosmological galaxy formation self-consistently. We show explicitly that the majority of star formation outside the galactic center occurs within self-gravitating gas structures that have properties consistent with observed bound GMCs. We find that the typical cloud bulk properties such as mass and surface density do not vary more than a factor of 2 in any systematic way after the first Gyr of cosmic evolution within a given galaxy from its progenitor. While the median properties are constant, the tails of the distributions can briefly undergo drastic changes, which can produce very massive and dense self-gravitating gas clouds. Once the galaxy forms, we identify only two systematic trends in bulk properties over cosmic time: a steady increase in metallicity produced by previous stellar populations and a weak decrease in bulk cloud temperatures. With the exception of metallicity we find no significant differences in cloud properties between the Milky Way-like and dwarf galaxies. These results have important implications for cosmological star and star cluster formation and put especially strong constraints on theories relating the stellar initial mass function to cloud properties.

description: From the apocalyptic era of antibiotic resistance, the scientific community around the world is engaged in designing and developing metal-based compounds to inhibit and control continuously rising microbial infections. Metal based triazole-derived compounds are being explored for antimicrobial actions and potentially applicable to provide effective and nontoxic drug candidates having preferred and improved pharmacological activity. Updating the existing literature supporting such details, this review combines the chemistry, synthetic aspects of formation of triazole Schiff bases, mechanism of bioactivity of metal complexes accompanied by the assessment of the biological efficacy including antibacterial, antifungal, enzyme inhibition and antioxidant activity. This review covers bioactive symmetrical and assymmetrical mono and bis-Schiff bases synthesized from condensation involving the amine group of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole with the carbonyl group of several aromatic aldehydes and ketones along with their transition metal complexes which were characterized by physical, spectral and chemical properties. In most of the studies highlighting the biomedical assessment of imine functionalized compounds, metal complexes showed outstanding results in comparison to free ligands.

description: A versatile semiclassical approximation for intense laser-atom processes is presented. This uniform approximation is no more complicated than the frequently-used multi-dimensional saddle-point approximation and far superior, since it applies for all energies, both close to as well as away from classical cutoffs. In the latter case, it reduces to the standard saddle-point approximation. The uniform approximation agrees accurately with numerical evaluations for potentials, for which these are feasible, and constitutes a practicable method of calculation in general. The method is applied to the calculation of high-order above-threshold ionization spectra with various binding potentials: Coulomb, Yukawa, and shell potentials which may model C$_{60}$ molecules or clusters. The shell potentials generate high-order ATI spectra that are more structured and may feature an apparently higher cutoff.

description: In evaluating technology development in Sub-Saharav Africa, the constraint of seasonallabour availability has frequently been emphasised. However, the most pressing constraint for most regions is the availability of quality land. To respond to this constraint in semi-arid regions, we need to focus on the combination of water availability and soil fertility. After discussing the high-potential/low-potential issue, two critical research problems are examined: 1. The effect of structural adjustment on agricultural intensification. With a lag higher purchased input use became more profitable than prior to devaluation in a field study in the Sahel. 2. The potential effects of the introduction of improved water retention techniques in semi-arid regions. Important differences in techniques depend upon soil characteristics and the degree of mechanisation. The water retention then makes the higher use of inorganic fertiliser more profitable and less risky.

description: Gyrokinetic codes in plasma physics need outstanding computational resources to solve increasingly complex problems, requiring the effective exploitation of cutting-edge HPC architectures. This paper focuses on the enabling of ORB5, a state-of-the-art, first-principles-based gyrokinetic code, on modern parallel hybrid multi-core, multi-GPU systems. ORB5 is a Lagrangian, Particle-In-Cell (PIC), finite element, global, electromagnetic code, originally implementing distributed parallelism through MPI-based on domain decomposition and domain cloning. In order to support multi/many cores devices, the code has been completely refactored. Data structures have been re-designed to ensure efficient memory access, enhancing data locality. Multi-threading has been introduced through OpenMP on the CPU and adopting OpenACC to support GPU acceleration. MPI can still be used in combination with the two approaches. The performance results obtained using the full production ORB5 code on the Summit system at ORNL, on Piz Daint at CSCS and on the Marconi system at CINECA are presented, showing the effectiveness and performance portability of the adopted solutions: the same source code version was used to produce all results on all architectures.

description: Using the negative U Hubbard model we analyze normal state properties of a superconductor. In this model there exists a characteristic pairing temperature T_P above a superconducting critical temperature. Below T_P electrons start to form incoherent pairs. The fluctuations in charge and phase are precursors of charge density wave and superconductivity phases depending on band filling. They lead naturally to pseudogap opening in the density of states.

description: Metal halide perovskites exhibit a fairly linear increase of the bandgap with increasing temperature, when crystallized in a tetragonal or cubic phase. In general, both thermal expansion and electron-phonon interaction effects contribute equally to this variation of the gap with temperature. Herein, we have disentangled both contributions in the case of colloidal CsPbBr$_3$ nanocrystals (NCs) by means of photoluminescence (PL) measurements as a function of temperature (from 80 K to ambient) and hydrostatic pressure (from atmospheric to ca. 1 GPa). At around room temperature, CsPbBr$_3$ NCs also show a linear increase of the bandgap with temperature with a slope similar to that of the archetypal methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI$_3$) perovskite. This is somehow unexpected in view of the recent observations in mixed-cation Cs$_x$MA$_{1-x}$PbI$_3$ single crystals with low Cs content, for which Cs incorporation caused a reduction by a factor of two in the temperature slope of the gap. This effect was ascribed to an anomalous electron-phonon interaction induced by the coupling with vibrational modes admixed with the Cs translational dynamics inside the cage voids. Thus, no trace of anomalous coupling is found in CsPbBr$_3$ NCs. In fact, we show that the linear temperature renormalization exhibited by the gap of CsPbBr$_3$ NCs is shared with most metal halide perovskites, due to a common bonding/antibonding and atomic orbital character of the electronic band-edge states. In this way, we provide a deeper understanding of the gap temperature dependence in the general case when the A-site cation dynamics is not involved in the electron-phonon interaction.

description: Many smallholder farms in sub-Saharan Africa are characterised by the integration of crops and livestock. Livestock improve household food consumption; especially where crop production suffers due to worsening agro-climates. Livestock contribute to food consumption directly as food, and indirectly as an input to crop production and a source of income. For oxample, studies in the highlands of Ethiopia showed that the sale of livestock and livestock vroducts can account for as high as 87% of household cash income, which in turn is spent primarily on food. The fulfilment of a household's food consumption preferences is a preraquisite to its attainment of food security. 111is paper presents the preliminary results of an analysis of the linkages between livestock lioldings, household characteristics, and food consumption of smallholders in the highlands of Ethiopia - a region with a long history of crop-livestock integration on the household farm (Ind where women play a dual role as farmers and home caretakers. A proportionate stratified random sample of 107 households was selected. Results showed that households with more oxen also have more livestock. Female heads and illiterate heads were most numerous in households with no ox. This indicates that households with lower livestock holdings, primarily those with female or illiterate heads, may be more vulnerable to food Insecurity. The amount of food consumed is not significantly different among the oxen ownership groups. Nonetheless, the sources of food, i.e. own production or purchased, may Indicate the household's ability to be self-sufficient and to purchase preferred foods.

By using the relevant data of 1978-2011, and establishing the VAR model, we find that in the short term, industrialization is the Granger cause of urbanization; urbanization is the Granger cause of industrialization, informatization, and agricultural modernization; agricultural modernization is the Granger cause of industrialization, informatization and urbanization; informatization is the Granger reason of industrialization, urbanization and agricultural modernization. In the long run, there are long-term and stable relations among them, and at the same time, their changes affect the structure of each other, and there are pulling effect among them.

description: High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission with variable excitation energies is used to disentangle bilayer splitting effects and intrinsic (self-energy) effects in the electronic spectral function near the ($π$,0)-point of differently doped (Pb,Bi)$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$. In contrast to overdoped samples, where intrinsic effects at the ($π$,0)point are virtually absent, we find in underdoped samples \textit{intrinsic} effects in the superconducting-state ($π$,0) spectra of the antibonding band. This intrinsic effect is present only below the critical temperature and weakens considerably with doping. Our results give strong support for models which involve a strong coupling of electronic excitations with the resonance mode seen in inelastic neutron scattering experiments.

description: Based on the data related to the Chinese and world agricultural production and trade from 1986 to 2011, this paper uses the principal component analysis, cointegration and vector error correction model to perform the empirical analysis of the impact of processing, import and export of agricultural products on the agricultural modernization in China. The results show that the processing and export of agricultural products play a role in promoting the agricultural modernization in China, while the import of agricultural products has some negative effects on the agricultural modernization in China. The negative effects of the import of agricultural products are from the limitations of farmers' small-scale operation and foreign trading partners' protectionism. China should further develop the processing industry of agricultural products, and strengthen the role of downstream industries in promoting the agricultural modernization; improve the level of large-scale and intensive operation, and make good use of WTO rules, in order to provide the necessary market conditions for the agricultural modernization.

description: We consider flat solutions in the brane background with a massless scalar field appearing in 5D $H^2_{MNPQ}$. Since there exist bulk singularities or arises the divergent 4D Planck mass, we should introduce a compact extra dimension, the size of which is then fixed by brane tension(s) and a bulk cosmological constant. Inspecting scalar perturbations around the flat solutions, we find that the flat solutions are stable vacua from the positive mass spectrum of radion. We show that the massless radion mode is projected out by the boundary condition arising in cutting off the extra dimension. Thus, the fixed extra dimension is not alterable, which is not useful toward a self-tuning of the cosmological constant.

description: We analyze the notion of quantum coherence in an interference experiment. We let the phase shifts fluctuate according to a given statistical distribution and introduce a decoherence parameter, defined in terms of a generalized visibility of the interference pattern. One might naively expect that a particle ensemble suffers a greater loss of quantum coherence by interacting with an increasingly randomized distribution of shifts. As we shall see, this is not always true.

description: We present an open source Python library for simulating overlapping (i.e., blended) images of galaxies and performing self-consistent comparisons of detection and deblending algorithms based on a suite of metrics. The package, named Blending Toolkit (BTK), serves as a modular, flexible, easy-to-install, and simple-to-use interface for exploring and analyzing systematic effects related to blended galaxies in cosmological surveys such as the Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). BTK has three main components: (1) a set of modules that perform fast image simulations of blended galaxies, using the open source image simulation package GalSim; (2) a module that standardizes the inputs and outputs of existing deblending algorithms; (3) a library of deblending metrics commonly defined in the galaxy deblending literature. In combination, these modules allow researchers to explore the impacts of galaxy blending in cosmological surveys. Additionally, BTK provides researchers who are developing a new deblending algorithm a framework to evaluate algorithm performance and make principled comparisons with existing deblenders. BTK includes a suite of tutorials and comprehensive documentation. The source code is publicly available on GitHub at https://github.com/LSSTDESC/BlendingToolKit.

description: Circular RNA is an innovative kind of endogenous non-coding RNA, which could take part in tumorigenesis. Nonetheless, the potential molecular mechanisms of circVRK1 in the progression of osteosarcoma remain unresolved. In the current study, we initially investigated circVRK1 levels in osteosarcoma clinical samples and cell lines by qRT-PCR analysis and northern blot assay. RNase R treatments, RNA stability assay and nucleoplasmic separation assay were conducted to identify the characteristics of circVRK1. We adopted CCK-8, colony formation, wound-healing, and transwell assays to assess the biological effects of circVRK1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of osteosarcoma cells in vitro. We then constructed a xenograft model in nude mice to confirm the suppressive role of circVRK1 in vivo. Moreover, dual-luciferase reporter, RNA immunoprecipitation, and RNA pull-down assays were utilized to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms mediated by circVRK1. We demonstrated that circVRK1 was a stable circular transcript localized in the cytoplasm of osteosarcoma cells, and the down-regulation of circVRK1 in osteosarcoma tissues was related to poor outcome of patients. Meanwhile, over-expressed circVRK1 obviously restrained the growth, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, circVRK1 was assumed to be a microRNA sponge for miR-337-3p, and ZNF652 was the downstream gene of miR-337-3p. CircVRK1 overexpression or miR-337-3p knockdown accelerated ZNF652 expression, and up-regulated miR-337-3p efficiently abolished the promotion of ZNF652 induced by circVRK1. Moreover, rescue experiments have proved that circVRK1 inhibits the progression of osteosarcoma by modulating the miR-337-3p/ZNF652 axis. Therefore, we conclude that circVRK1 promotes ZNF652 expression by sponging miR-337-3p. CircVRK1 serves as a molecule sponge for miR-337-3p and mediates the ceRNA network to promote the expression of ZNF652, thus suppresses osteosarcoma proliferation, migration and invasion.

An Interval-Valued Utility Theory for Decision Making with Dempster-Shafer Belief Functions
Creators: name: Denoeux, Thierry
name: Shenoy, Prakash P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The main goal of this paper is to describe an axiomatic utility theory for Dempster-Shafer belief function lotteries. The axiomatic framework used is analogous to von Neumann-Morgenstern's utility theory for probabilistic lotteries as described by Luce and Raiffa. Unlike the probabilistic case, our axiomatic framework leads to interval-valued utilities, and therefore, to a partial (incomplete) preference order on the set of all belief function lotteries. If the belief function reference lotteries we use are Bayesian belief functions, then our representation theorem coincides with Jaffray's representation theorem for his linear utility theory for belief functions. We illustrate our representation theorem using some examples discussed in the literature, and we propose a simple model for assessing utilities based on an interval-valued pessimism index representing a decision-maker's attitude to ambiguity and indeterminacy. Finally, we compare our decision theory with those proposed by Jaffray, Smets, Dubois et al., Giang and Shenoy, and Shafer.

description: Mixed valent manganites are noted for their unusual magnetic,electronic and structural phase transitions. The La1-xCaxMnO3 phase diagram shows that below transition temperatures in the range 100-260 K, compounds with 0.2 < x < 0.5 are ferromagnetic and metallic whereas those with 0.5 < x < 0.9 are antiferromagnetic and charge ordered. In a narrow region around x = 0.5, these totally dissimilar states are thought to coexist. Uehara et al. have shown that charge order and charge disorder can coexist in the related compound La0.25Pr0.375Ca0.375MnO3. Here, we present electron microscopy data for La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 that sheds light on the distribution of coexisting phases and uncovers a novel and unexpected phase. Using electron holography and Fresnel imaging, we find micron sized ferromagnetic regions spanning several grains coexisting with similar sized regions with no local magnetisation. Holography shows that the ferromagnetic regions have a local magnetisation of 3.4 +- 0.2 mB/Mn (the spin aligned value is 3.5 mB/Mn). We use electron diffraction and dark field imaging to show that charge order exists in regions with no net magnetisation and, surprisingly, can also occur in ferromagnetic regions.
