description: Die Biogasproduktion in Deutschland wird nach einer zunächst positiven öffentlichen Bewertung mittlerweile zunehmend kritisch diskutiert. Insbesondere sozioökonomische Problemfelder wie die Auswirkungen der verursachten Strompreiserhöhung auf Konsumenten oder die Veränderung des Landschaftsbildes werden in der öffentlichen Diskussion als Kritikpunkte angeführt. In Ermangelung geeigneter Methoden steht eine ganzheitliche sozioökonomische Bewertung der Biogasproduktion bisher noch aus. Zur Durchführung einer entsprechenden Bewertung wird in diesem Beitrag das in der Entwicklung befindliche Social Life Cycle Assessment vorgeschlagen. Ziel dieses Beitrages ist die Darstellung einer erstmalig durchgeführten ganzheitlichen sozioökonomischen Bewertung der Biogasproduktion mittels eines weiterentwickelten Social Life Cycle Assessments und eines Vergleichs mit anderen erneuerbaren Energien. In der vergleichenden Betrachtung der sozioökonomischen Auswirkungen der Wertschöpfungsketten Biogas, Wind-, Solar-und Wasserenergie zeigt sich eine deutliche Schlechterbewertung der Biogasproduktion.

description: Observations to characterize planets larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune have led to largely inconclusive interpretations at low spectral resolution due to hazes or clouds that obscure molecular features in their spectra. However, here we show that high-resolution spectroscopy (R $\sim$ 25,000 to 100,000) enables one to probe the regions in these atmospheres above the clouds where the cores of the strongest spectral lines are formed. We present models of transmission spectra for a suite of GJ1214b-like planets with thick photochemical hazes covering 1 - 5 $μ$m at a range of resolutions relevant to current and future ground-based spectrographs. Furthermore, we compare the utility of the cross-correlation function that is typically used with a more formal likelihood-based approach, finding that only the likelihood based method is sensitive to the presence of haze opacity. We calculate the signal-to-noise of these spectra, including telluric contamination, required to robustly detect a host of molecules such as CO, CO$_{2}$, H$_{2}$O, and CH$_{4}$, and photochemical products like HCN, as a function of wavelength range and spectral resolution. Spectra in M band require the lowest S/N$_{res}$ to detect multiple molecules simultaneously. CH$_{4}$ is only observable for the coolest models ($T_{\rm{eff}} =$ 412 K) and only in the L band. We quantitatively assess how these requirements compare to what is achievable with current and future instruments, demonstrating that characterization of small cool worlds with ground-based high resolution spectroscopy is well within reach.

description: We study a diffusion process on a three-dimensional comb under stochastic resetting. We consider three different types of resetting: global resetting from any point in the comb to the initial position, resetting from a finger to the corresponding backbone and resetting from secondary fingers to the main fingers. The transient dynamics along the backbone in all three cases is different due to the different resetting mechanisms, finding a wide range of dynamics for the mean squared displacement. For the particular geometry studied herein, we compute the stationary solution and the mean square displacement and find that the global resetting breaks the transport in the three directions. Regarding the resetting to the backbone, the transport is broken in two directions but it is enhanced in the main axis. Finally, the resetting to the fingers enhances the transport in the backbone and the main fingers but reaches a steady value for the mean squared displacement in the secondary fingers.

description: We describe the interaction stimulated relaxation in the ensemble of two-level systems, responsible for low temperature kinetics and thermodynamics properties of amorphous solids. This relaxation gets significant at sufficiently low temperature when phonons are substantially frozen out. We show that in the realistic experimental situation the measuring field strongly accelerates the interaction stimulated relaxation. The characteristic temperature and field dependences of the relaxation rate are found when the rate is affected both by the interaction between two level systems and by the external field.

description: We present results of a hole burning study with thermal cycling and waiting time spectral diffusion experiments on a modified cytochrome - c protein in its native as well as in its denatured state. The experiments show features which seem to be characteristic for the protein state of matter and its associated dynamics at low temperature. The properties responsible for the observed patterns are organisation paired with randomness and, in addition, the finite size which gives rise to surface and solvent effects. We discuss some general model approaches which might serve as guide lines for understanding these features.

description: Die regulatorischen Aktivitäten des Staates werden oftmals mit dem Vorliegen von Marktversagen begründet. Diese Perspektive ist allerdings zu eng und vernachlässigt das Auftreten von Staatsversagen. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht staatliche Eingriffe aus einer verhaltensökonomischen Perspektive. Dabei werden bedeutsame Erkenntnisse aus der experimentellen Wirtschaftsforschung vorgestellt. Zunächst werden systematische Verhaltensabweichungen des Homo sapiens vom Modell des rationalen Erwartungsnutzenmaximierers und dessen politische Relevanz für den Agrar- und Umweltbereich aufgezeigt. Anschließend liegt der Fokus auf den ökonomischen Kosten der Regulierung. Als zentrale Faktoren werden neben der fehlenden Treffsicherheit hinsichtlich der Zielgröße, nicht-intendierte Folgen auf zielgrößenferne Bereiche und direkte Kosten der Politikfolgenabschätzung identifiziert und diskutiert. Sofern die an der Regulierung beteiligten Akteure (Regulierer und Regulierte) nur über unvollständige Informationen verfügen und die Informationsverarbeitung Grenzen unterliegt, ist Regulierung stets mit Kosten verbunden. Festzuhalten bleibt: Um ein gegebenes Regulierungsziel zu erreichen ist ein Abwägungsprozess zwischen der Vor- und Nachteilhaftigkeit von Markt- und Staatslösungen erforderlich.

description: Aurora-A is a novel therapeutic target that belongs to the serine/threonine kinase family of proteins. Several cancers are associated with gene amplification or over-expression of Aurora-A. The somatic mutation (S155R) in Aurora-A results in a loss of interaction with its binding partner TPX2. The S155R mutation thus leads to ectopic expression of Aurora-A, resulting in centrosome amplification, chromosomal instability, aneuploidy, and oncogenic transformations. In order to restore the interaction between mutant Aurora-A and TPX2, we predicted a binding pocket in the interface of the Aurora-A-TPX2 complex. We performed molecular docking of potential bioactive molecules of the Himalayan region at the predicted site. Alantolactone and Dactylose-A were selected as potential molecules that could bind to the interface pocket and restore the lost interaction between mutant Aurora-A and TPX2. The molecular docking results were validated by performing explicit long term molecular dynamics simulations (4.0 μs) and MM-PBSA analysis. The molecular dynamics results confirmed that both the selected molecules could act as potent drugs to tackle the abnormal expression of Aurora-A manifested due to the somatic mutation (S155R).

description: Small amplitude quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) detected in soft X-ray emission are commonplace in many flares. To date, the underpinning processes resulting in the QPPs are unknown. In this paper, we attempt to constrain the prevalence of \textit{stationary} QPPs in the largest statistical study to date, including a study of the relationship of QPP periods to the properties of the flaring active region, flare ribbons, and CME affiliation. We build upon the work of \cite{inglis2016} and use a model comparison test to search for significant power in the Fourier spectra of lightcurves of the GOES 1--8~Å channel. We analyze all X-, M- and C- class flares of the past solar cycle, a total of 5519 flares, and search for periodicity in the 6-300~s timescale range. Approximately 46\% of X-class, 29\% of M-class and 7\% of C-class flares show evidence of stationary QPPs, with periods that follow a log-normal distribution peaked at 20~s. The QPP periods were found to be independent of flare magnitude, however a positive correlation was found between QPP period and flare duration. No dependence of the QPP periods to the global active region properties was identified. A positive correlation was found between QPPs and ribbon properties including unsigned magnetic flux, ribbon area and ribbon separation distance. We found that both flares with and without an associated CME can host QPPs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that for X- and M- class flares, decay phase QPPs have statistically longer periods than impulsive phase QPPs.

description: Die Effizienz des Produktionsfaktors Energie gewinnt durch steigende Energiekosten und die nationalen CO²-Emmissionsziele an Bedeutung. In Deutschland existieren im produzierenden Gewerbe sowie in der Landwirtschaft eine Vielzahl kleiner und mittlerer Unternehmen (KMU) deren Energieproduktivität durch die Anwendung innovativer, energieeffizienter Produktionstechniken gesteigert werden kann (BMU-PRESSEDIENST, 2012). Die Adoption effizienter Produktionsmethoden wird dabei nicht nur durch die Rendite der Investition bestimmt, sondern unterliegt ebenso persönlichen und umfeldbezogenen Faktoren der Entscheider. In einer empirischen Strukturgleichungsanalyse auf der Grundlage einer Datenerhebung in 104 produzierenden Unternehmen der Gartenbaubranche konnte eine Diskrepanz zwischen der Investitionsabsicht und der tatsächlichen Technikadoption festgestellt werden, welche mit verschiedenartigen Investitionsrestriktionen begründet wird. In einem alternativen Modell sind die personenbezogenen Merkmale Innovativität und Absorptionsfähigkeit als Prädiktoren einer energieeffizienten Produktionsweise ermittelt worden. Umweltbewusstsein sowie die Eigenschaften der betrachteten Innovationen waren hingegen keine erklärenden Variablen der Energieeffizienz eines Unternehmens.

description: Objective: The lungs are uniquely exposed to the external environment. Sand and dust exposures in desert regions are common among deployed soldiers. A significant number of Veterans deployed to the Middle East report development of respiratory disorders and diseases. Materials and methods: Sand collected from Fallujah, Iraq and Kandahar, Afghanistan combat zones was analyzed and compared to a sand sample collected from an historic United States (U.S.) battle region (Fort Johnson, James Island, SC, Civil War battle site). Sand samples were analyzed to determine the physical and elemental characteristics that may have the potential to contribute to development of respiratory disease. Results: Using complementary scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and analysis, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), it was determined that Iraq sand contained elevated levels of calcium and first row transition metals versus Afghanistan and U.S. sand. Iraq sand particle texture was smooth and round, and particles were considerably smaller than Afghanistan sand. Afghanistan sand was elevated in rare earth metals versus Iraq or U.S. sands and had sharp edge features and larger particle size than Iraq sand. Conclusions: These data demonstrate significant differences in Iraq and Afghanistan sand particle size and characteristics. Middle East sands contained elevated levels of elements that have been associated with respiratory disease versus control site sand, suggesting the potential of sand/dust storm exposure to promote adverse respiratory symptoms. Data also demonstrate the potential for variation based on geographical region or site of exposure. The data generated provide baseline information that will be valuable in designing future exposure studies.
Cues and episodic prospective memory task retrieval
Creators: name: Gao, Jie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: According to one theory, the discrepancy-attribution theory, episodic prospective memory task retrieval involves a discrepancy-attribution mechanism. It is assumed that planning activities prime the representation of the retrieval cues involved in a prospective memory task. Therefore, when those cues are subsequently encountered - during the retrieval phase, their processing is facilitated, and this facilitation is perceived as oddly fluent, as discrepant with expectations. Previous work has shown that subjects interpret this processing discrepancy in a flexible manner. The main goal of the present study was to investigate the role of discrepancy-attribution in episodic prospective memory task retrieval under conditions where the ongoing task focused either on performance speed or on performance accuracy. I conducted a series of experiments in which the prospective memory task required subjects to press a key on the keyboard when they noticed prospective memory cue words. To produce and manipulate the discrepancy reactions, half of the cue words in each experiment were primed (i.e. preceded by the masked presentation of the same word) and the others were shown without primes. The prospective memory cues were shown either as part of a lexical decision task, which focused on speed, or in the course of an anagram-solving task, which focused on accuracy. The results showed the priming manipulation facilitated prospective memory task performance in all experiments. However, in the experiment where the ongoing task required making lexical decision, subliminally priming prospective memory cues benefited only the speed of making prospective memory responses, but not their accuracy. By contrast, in the anagram-solving task, the accuracy driven task, subliminally priming prospective memory cues facilitated the accuracy of prospective memory responses, but not the speed of those responses. These findings are consistent with the discrepancy-attribution theory, as well as with prior evidence that discrepant reactions tend to be interpreted flexibly, in line with the demands of the ongoing or dominant task.

description: The high foreign debt and the chronic current account deficit force Brazil to produce significant trade surplus. Agriculture has been giving a great contribution as its export value has been growing at higher rates than economy other products; therefore there is a welcome agricultural trade surplus. However, to depend on agriculture as main source of exchange value puts the country in a vulnerable situation: the world demand for agricultural products is relatively decreasing, the agricultural trade prices and amounts variability are bigger than of industrialized products, and the agricultural terms of trade have been declining in the last 30 years. Such facts enable the conclusion that the justification of the substitution of imports model is pertinent again and that the increase in export amounts of agricultural products not necessarily imply the Brazilians welfare improvement.

description: The company LOBA Feinchemie GmbH is specialized in the production of naphazoline hydrochloride and naphazoline nitrate. Those salts are used as active pharmaceutical ingredients in nose sprays and eye drops. The used raw material 1-naphthylacetonitrile is commonly synthesized from the potential genotoxic impurity 1-chloromethylnaphthalene. In order to guarantee, that the amount of the potential genotoxic impurity is at or below the acceptable limit of 48 ppm in the product, a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) method was developed at TU Wien, which allows the absolute quantitation of 1-chloromethylnaphthalene in the raw material 1-naphthylacetonitrile. A five-point standard addition procedure was used for the quantitation. The analytes of interest cover a broad range of polarity, which is why a non-polar stationary phase had to be combined with a polar solvent. Since 1-chloromethylnaphthalene reacts in the presence of methanol and ethanol, isopropyl alcohol was chosen as the solvent. In order to compare different individual sample measurements and to compensate for all possible volume errors and variations in the function of the instrument, naphthalene-d8 was implemented as internal standard. The used raw material 1-naphthylacetonitrile contains several non-volatile impurities, which create active sites in the inlet liner and the beginning of the column. Those active sites must be saturated prior to each standard addition procedure to establish comparable measurement conditions. The developed method was transferred to and validated at the receiving laboratory. A quantitation limit of 0.97 ppm for 1-chloromethylnaphthalene was determined and the linearity of the standard addition curve was shown in the range of 2 - 10 ppm, with a coefficient of determination (R2) 0.9939 (Acceptance criteria: R2 0.98). The obtained relative standard deviation (RSD) of the repeatability experiments was 6.13 % (Acceptance criteria: RSD 20 %) and recovery rates between 92.5 % - 100.5 % were determined in the course of the accuracy experiments (Acceptance criteria: recovery rate between 80 % - 120 %). Specificity and robustness of the method were also successfully shown in the course of the validation.

description: There is an emerging body of literature analyzing how smallholder farmers in developing countries can be linked to modern supply chains. However, most of the available studies concentrate on farm and farmer characteristics, failing to capture details of institutional arrangements between farmers and traders. Moreover, farmers’ preferences have rarely been considered. Here, we address these gaps by analyzing different market channels for sweet pepper in Thailand. Using data from a survey and choice experiment with farmers, we find that there is a general preference for marketing options that do not involve a contract. Additional provision of inputs and credit can increase the attractiveness of contracts. Yet, the most important factor for farmers is to personally know the buyer they deal with, which may be related to issues of trust. Some policy implications are discussed.

description: The parity-conserving single-spin beam asymmetry of elastic electron-proton scattering is induced by an absorptive part of the two-photon exchange amplitude. We demonstrate that this asymmetry has logarithmic and double-logarithmic enhancement due to contributions of hard collinear quasi-real photons. An optical theorem is used to evaluate the asymmetry in terms of the total photoproduction cross section on the proton, predicting its magnitude at a few parts per million for high electon beam energies and small scattering angles. At fixed 4-momentum transfers, the asymmetry is rising logarithmically with increasing electron beam energy, following the high-energy diffractive behavior of total photoproduction cross section on the proton.

description: Overweight and obesity are becoming serious issues in many developing countries. Since undernutrition is not completely eradicated yet, these countries face a dual burden that obstructs economic development. We analyze the nutrition transition in Indonesia using longitudinal data from the Indonesian Family and Life Survey, covering the period between 1993 and 2007. Obesity has been increasing remarkably across all population groups, including rural and low income strata. Prevalence rates are particularly high for women. We also develop a framework to analyze direct and indirect determinants of body mass index. This differentiation has rarely been made in previous research, but appears useful for policy making purposes. Regression models show that changing food consumption patterns coupled with decreasing physical activity levels during work and leisure time directly contribute to increasing obesity. Education, income, and marital status are significant determinants that influence nutritional status more indirectly. Change regressions underline that there are important path-dependencies. From a policy perspective, nutrition awareness and education campaigns, combined with programs to support leisure time exercise, seem to be most promising to contain the obesity pandemic. Women should be at the center of policy attention.

description: We consider a simple model of a Josephson junction phase qubit coupled to a solid-state nanoelectromechanical resonator. This and many related qubit-resonator models are analogous to an atom in an electromagnetic cavity. When the systems are weakly coupled and nearly resonant, the dynamics is accurately described by the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) or the Jaynes-Cummings model of quantum optics. However, the desire to develop faster quantum-information-processing protocols necessitates approximate, yet analytic descriptions that are valid for more strongly coupled qubit-resonator systems. Here we present a simple theoretical technique, using a basis of dressed states, to perturbatively account for the leading-order corrections to the RWA. By comparison with exact numerical results, we demonstrate that the method is accurate for moderately strong coupling, and provides a useful theoretical tool for describing fast quantum information processing. The method applies to any quantum two-level system linearly coupled to a harmonic oscillator or single-mode boson field.

Atom waveguide using a two-color evanescent light field around a subwavelength-diameter optical fiber

description: We suggest using a two-color evanescent light field around a subwavelength-diameter fiber to trap and guide atoms. The optical fiber carries a red-detuned light and a blue-detuned light, with both modes far from resonance. When both input light fields are circularly polarized, a set of trapping minima of the total potential in the transverse plane is formed as a ring around the fiber. This design allows confinement of atoms to a cylindrical shell around the fiber. When one or both of the input light fields are linearly polarized, the total potential has two local minimum points in the transverse plane. This design allows confinement of atoms to two straight lines parallel to the fiber axis. Due to the thin thickness of the fiber, we can use far-off-resonance fields with substantially differing evanescent decay lengths to produce a net potential with a large depth, a large coherence time, and a large trap lifetime. For example, a 0.2-$μ$m-radius silica fiber carrying 30 mW of 1.06-$μ$m-wavelength light and 29 mW of 700-nm-wavelength light, both fields are circularly polarized at the input, gives for cesium atoms a trap depth of 2.9 mK, a coherence time of 32 ms, and a recoil-heating-limited trap lifetime of 541 s.

description: We investigate the dipole mode in a superfluid gas of Fermi atoms trapped in a harmonic potential. According to Kohn's theorem, the frequency of this collective mode is not affected by an interaction between the atoms and is always equal to the trap frequency. This remarkable property, however, does not necessarily hold in an approximate theory. We explicitly prove that the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov generalized random phase approximation (HFB-GRPA), including a coupling between fluctuations in the density and Cooper channels, is consistent with both Kohn's theorem as well as Goldstone's theorem. This proof can be immediately extended to the strong-coupling superfluid theory developed by Noziéres and Schmitt-Rink (NSR), where the effect of superfluid fluctuations is included within the Gaussian level. As a result, the NSR-GRPA formalism can be used to study collective modes in the BCS-BEC crossover region in a manner which is consistent with Kohn's theorem. We also include the effect of a Feshbach resonance and a condensate of the associated molecular bound states. A detailed discussion is given of the unusual nature of the Kohn mode eigenfunctions in a Fermi superfluid, in the presence and absence of a Feshbach resonance. When the molecular bosons feel a different trap frequency from the Fermi atoms, the dipole frequency is shown to {\it depend} on the strength of effective interaction associated with the Feshbach resonance.

description: Single-cycle optical pulses with a controlled electromagnetic waveform allow to steer the motion of low-energy electrons in atoms, molecules, nanostructures or condensed-matter on attosecond dimensions in time. However, high-energy electrons under single-cycle light control would be an enabling technology for beam-based attosecond physics with free-electron lasers or electron microscopy. Here we report the control of freely propagating keV electrons with an isolated optical cycle of mid-infrared light and create a modulated electron current with a peak-cycle-specific sub-femtosecond structure in time. The evident effects of the carrier-envelope phase, amplitude and dispersion of the optical waveform on the temporal composition, pulse durations and chirp of the free-space electron wavefunction demonstrate the sub-cycle nature of our control. These results create novel opportunities in laser-driven particle acceleration, seeded free-electron lasers, attosecond space-time imaging, electron quantum optics and wherever else high-energy electrons are needed with the temporal structure of single-cycle light.

description: The global health emergency of novel COVID-19 is due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Currently there are no approved drugs for the treatment of coronaviral disease (COVID-19), although some of the drugs have been tried. Chloroquine is being widely used in treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Hydroxychloroquine, the derivative of Chloroquine shows better inhibition than Chloroquine and has in vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2 also used to treat COVID-19. To study the interactions of Chloroquine and derivatives of Chloroquine with SARS-CoV-2, series of computational approaches like pharmacophore model, molecular docking, MM_GBSA study and ADME property analysis are explored. The pharmacophore model and molecular docking study are used to explore the structural properties of the compounds and the ligand-receptor (PDB_ID: 6LU7) interactions respectively. MM_GBSA study gives the binding free energy of the protein-ligand complex and ADME property analysis explains the pharmacological property of the compounds. The resultant best molecule (CQD15) further subjected to molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study which explains the protein stability (RMSD), ligand properties as well as protein-ligand contacts. Outcomes of the present study conclude with the molecule CQD15 which shows better interactions for the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 in comparison to Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine.

description: We present a search for high-energy $γ$-ray emission from 566 Active Galactic Nuclei at redshift $z > 0.2$, from the 2WHSP catalog of high-synchrotron peaked BL Lac objects with eight years of Fermi-LAT data. We focus on a redshift range where electromagnetic cascade emission induced by ultra-high-energy cosmic rays can be distinguished from leptonic emission based on the spectral properties of the sources. Our analysis leads to the detection of 160 sources above $\approx$ $5σ$ (TS $\geq 25$) in the 1 - 300 GeV energy range. By discriminating significant sources based on their $γ$-ray fluxes, variability properties, and photon index in the Fermi-LAT energy range, and modeling the expected hadronic signal in the TeV regime, we select a list of promising sources as potential candidate ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray emitters for follow-up observations by Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes.

description: We present the explicit construction of some multi-scalar field theories in (1+1) dimensions supporting BPS (Bogomol'nyi--Prasad--Sommerfield) kink solutions. The construction is based on the ideas of the so-called extension method. In particular, several new interesting two-scalar and three-scalar field theories are explicitly constructed from non-trivial couplings between well-known one-scalar field theories. The BPS solutions of the original one-field systems will be also BPS solutions of the multi-scalar system by construction, and therefore we will analyse their linear stability properties for the constructed models.

description: Aurora-A is a novel therapeutic target that belongs to the serine/threonine kinase family of proteins. Several cancers are associated with gene amplification or over-expression of Aurora-A. The somatic mutation (S155R) in Aurora-A results in a loss of interaction with its binding partner TPX2. The S155R mutation thus leads to ectopic expression of Aurora-A, resulting in centrosome amplification, chromosomal instability, aneuploidy, and oncogenic transformations. In order to restore the interaction between mutant Aurora-A and TPX2, we predicted a binding pocket in the interface of the Aurora-A-TPX2 complex. We performed molecular docking of potential bioactive molecules of the Himalayan region at the predicted site. Alantolactone and Dactylose-A were selected as potential molecules that could bind to the interface pocket and restore the lost interaction between mutant Aurora-A and TPX2. The molecular docking results were validated by performing explicit long term molecular dynamics simulations (4.0 μs) and MM-PBSA analysis. The molecular dynamics results confirmed that both the selected molecules could act as potent drugs to tackle the abnormal expression of Aurora-A manifested due to the somatic mutation (S155R).
Reversible random sequential adsorption on a one-dimensional lattice

description: We consider the reversible random sequential adsorption of line segments on a one-dimensional lattice. Line segments of length $l \geq 2$ adsorb on the lattice with a adsorption rate $K_a$, and leave with a desorption rate $K_d$. We calculate the coverage fraction, and steady-state jamming limits by a Monte Carlo method. We observe that coverage fraction and jamming limits do not follow mean-field results at the large $K=K_a/K_d >>1$. Jamming limits decrease when the length of the line segment $l$ increases. However, jamming limits increase monotonically when the parameter $K$ increases. The distribution of two consecutive empty sites is not equivalent to the square of the distribution of isolated empty sites.
