description: We show how to compute the nonlinear optical functions (absorption, reflection, and transmission) for a medium with Rydberg excitons, including the effect of the coherence between the electron-hole pair and the electromagnetic field. Using the Real Density Matrix Approach the analytical expressions for nonlinear optical functions are obtained and numerical calculations for Cu$_2$0 crystal are performed. We report a good agreement with recently published experimental data. Propagation of the electromagnetic waves in Rydberg excitons media with nonliner effect is also discussed and the possibility of obtainig self-phase modulation due to Kerr nonlinearity is investigated.

description: There is increased interest in greater localization of food supply chains but little evidence about the effects of localization on supply chain costs. Assessing these effects is complex in multiple-product, multi-process supply chains such as the dairy industry. In this study, we develop a spatially-disaggregated transshipment model for the US dairy sector that minimizes total supply chain costs, including assembly, processing, interplant transportation and final product distribution. We employ the cost-minimizing solution as benchmark to compare alternative scenarios of increased supply chain localization. Our results indicate: 1) short-run limits to increased localization, 2) modest impacts on overall supply-chain costs, and 3) large cost reallocations across supply chain segments, regions and products. We find that increased localization reduces assembly costs while increase processing and distribution costs. Cost increases are larger in regions with smaller raw milk supplies and during the season when less raw milk is produced. Minimizing distances traveled by all dairy products results in tradeoffs across products in terms of cost and distance traveled. The relationship between increased localization and costs appears to be nonlinear.

Near Infrared Observations of the Giant HII Region W49A: A Starbirth Cluster

description: W49A is one of the most luminous giant H II (GH II) regions in our Galaxy. This star forming complex contains numerous compact and ultra-compact (UC) H II regions, extending over an area of 15 pc. It emits about 10^{51} Lyman continuum photons per second, equivalent to the presence of about 100 O stars, but it is completely obscured in optical wavelengths by intervening interstellar dust. The center holds a ``cluster'' of about 30 O stars, each within an individual UCHII region emitting free-free emission at cm wavelengths. Our deep K-band (2.2 um) image toward the W49A cluster reveals just two of the individual exciting stars, each associated with a point--like radio source, but the rest are invisible. These O stars are so recently born as to not yet have emerged from their natal dust cocoons, in contrast to other Galactic clusters embedded in GH II regions in which many of the individual massive stars are already revealed. Plausibility arguments are made which suggest that a stellar disc might be common during the entire UCH II phase of massive star birth, as it persists after accretion ceases in some stars. Nebular emission (e.g., from Br gamma) is visible around the periphery of the central region of W49A, along with candidate exciting stars. Star formation there may have preceeded that in the center, or its lower density environment may have speeded up the dispersal of the natal dust cocoons. The W49A cluster can serve as a template for the more luminous buried star clusters now being found in normal galaxies and starbursts.

description: We discuss geometric aspects of orbifold conformal field theories in the moduli space of N=(4,4) superconformal field theories with central charge c=6. Part of this note consists of a summary of our earlier results on the location of these theories within the moduli space [NW01,Wen] and the action of a specific version of mirror symmetry on them [NW]. We argue that these results allow for a direct translation from geometric to conformal field theoretic data. Additionally, this work contains a detailed discussion of an example which allows the application of various versions of mirror symmetry on K3. We show that all of them agree in that point of the moduli space.

description: We construct a rejection-free Monte Carlo algorithm for a system with continuous degrees of freedom. We illustrate the algorithm by applying it to the classical three-dimensional Heisenberg model with canonical Metropolis dynamics. We obtain the lifetime of the metastable state following a reversal of the external magnetic field. Our rejection-free algorithm obtains results in agreement with a direct implementation of the Metropolis dynamic and requires orders of magnitude less computational time at low temperatures. The treatment is general and can be extended to other dynamics and other systems with continuous degrees of freedom.

description: The use of complex machine learning models can make systems opaque to users. Machine learning research proposes the use of post-hoc explanations. However, it is unclear if they give users insights into otherwise uninterpretable models. One minimalistic way of explaining image classifications by a deep neural network is to show only the areas that were decisive for the assignment of a label. In a pilot study, 20 participants looked at 14 of such explanations generated either by a human or the LIME algorithm. For explanations of correct decisions, they identified the explained object with significantly higher accuracy (75.64% vs. 18.52%). We argue that this shows that explanations can be very minimalistic while retaining the essence of a decision, but the decision-making contexts that can be conveyed in this manner is limited. Finally, we found that explanations are unique to the explainer and human-generated explanations were assigned 79% higher trust ratings. As a starting point for further studies, this work shares our first insights into quality criteria of post-hoc explanations.

description: Investigating changes in belowground functional plant traits is an important step toward a better understanding of vegetation dynamics during primary succession. However, in alpine glacier forelands, we still lack an accurate assessment of plant rooting patterns. In this study, we established two proglacial chronosequences with contrasting bedrocks to investigate changes in rooting patterns and biomass allocation with terrain age. We extracted soil cores up to 1 m depth and measured root traits every 10 cm of each drilled core. Furthermore, we sampled aboveground biomass determining the contributions of functional groups to total aboveground biomass. We found that root traits associated with the root economics spectrum varied significantly along the chronosequences. Vertical root distribution coefficients revealed that early successional communities had more evenly distributed root systems compared to late successional communities. Biomass allocation showed diverging patterns. We found evidence for both the isometric allocation and optimal partitioning hypotheses. In addition, we observed a significant correlation between rooting parameters and plant community composition, suggesting that the dominance of distinct plant functional groups was one important factor explaining the observed rooting patterns. Our results shed light on the often neglected belowground compartments during plant succession and contribute to a better understanding of hillslope functioning.

description: In this paper we present a scale free method to determine the cosmological parameters (Omega_m, Omega_Lambda). The method is based on the requirement of isotropy of the distribution of orientations of cosmological filaments. The current structure formation paradigm predicts that the first structures to form are voids and filaments, causing a web-like structure of the matter distribution at high redshifts. Recent observational evidence suggests that the threads, or filaments, of the cosmic web most easily are mapped in Ly-alpha emission. We describe how such a 3D map can be used to constrain the cosmological parameters in a way which, contrary to most other cosmological tests, does not require the use of a standard rod or a standard candle. We perform detailed simulations in order to define the optimal survey parameters for the definition of an observing programme aimed to address this test, and to investigate how statistical and observational errors will influence the results. We conclude that observations should target filaments of comoving size 15-50 Mpc in the redshift range 2-4, and that each filament must be defined by at least four Ly-alpha emitters. Detection of 20 filaments will be sufficient to obtain a result, while 50 filaments will make it possible to place significant new constraints on the values of Omega_m and Omega_Lambda permitted by the current supernova observations. In a future paper we study how robust these conclusions are to systematic velocities in the survey box.

Classification of Power Density Spectrum Features and Estimation of the Delta-Invariant Value for the Z Source GX 340+0

description: We present a theoretical analysis of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data of Z source GX 340+0 obtained by Jonker et al. In the frameworks of the recently formulated the transition layer model the delta-angle is an angle between the neutron star (NS) magnetospheric axis and the disk (presumably NS rotational) axis.We determine the angle delta=6^o.3+/- 0.^o 3 which is a combination of the simultaneously observed kHz QPO and HBO frequencies. While these three frequencies change by a factor of three or more their delta-combination stays almost constant. GX 340+0 is the fourth source (in addition to 4U 0614+09, Sco X-1 and 4U 1702-42) for which delta-angle has been determined. With at most one (constrained) parameter we make a complete classification of six observed power spectral features, including the two kHz frequencies, the first and second harmonics of the HBO frequency, low-frequency noise component and break frequencies. We demonstrate that a new component discovered by Jonker et al. in the GX 340+0 power spectrum is related to the viscous frequency branch which has been, in fact reported earlier in 4U 1728-34 by Ford and van der Klis (1998). Finally, we re-classify several previously misidentified features in the power spectrum.

description: Columbia County Bounty is a local organization made up of farmer and culinary business members, with a mission that includes promoting connections between local agricultural producers and culinary businesses. A case study was conducted to address questions raised by CCB related to expanding farm-to-chef marketing in their area. Common barriers for restaurants included larger time commitments, inconvenience, and consistency in product volumes and quality; however, satisfaction with local wholesale distributors may create new opportunities for farmers to work collaboratively with them in including more local products in their distribution. A closer inspection of channel performance by farms in the study will drive changes in future channel strategies and utilization of farm-to-chef marketing, as farms are already benefiting from strong direct marketing channels and restaurants procuring local products from these channels.

description: G339.88-1.26 is considered to be a good candidate for a massive star with a circumstellar disk. This has been supported by the observations of linearly distributed methanol maser spots believed to delineate this disk, and mid-infrared observations that have discovered a source at this location that is elongated at the same position angle as the methanol maser distribution. We used the mid-infrared imager/spectrometer OSCIR at Keck to make high-resolution images of G339.88-1.26. We resolve the mid-infrared emission into 3 sources within 1.5 arcsec of the location of the masers. We determine that the methanol masers are most likely not located in a circumstellar disk. Furthermore we find that the observed radio continuum emission most likely comes from two sources in close proximity to each other. One source is an unobscured massive star with an extended HII region that is responsible for the peak in the radio continuum emission. A second source is embedded and centered on the elongation in the radio continuum emission that is believed to be tracing an outflow in this region.

description: Arthritogenic alphaviruses, including Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Ross River virus (RRV), Barmah Forest virus (BFV), Mayaro virus (MAYV), and O'nyong'nyong virus (ONNV), are responsible for debilitating musculoskeletal diseases such as arthralgia, arthritis, and myalgia. These conditions often persist chronically, significantly impairing affected individuals for months or years. Alphaviruses are recognised as emerging pathogens, with their incidence on the rise as they spread to new host populations. Alphaviruses such as RRV and BFV, are endemic to Australia and the Southern Pacific islands, with around 5,000 reported RRV and 1,000 reported BFV cases in Australia annually. In contrast, CHIKV has a global distribution, with cases reported in more than 110 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas since 2005. Notable outbreaks include over 200,000 cases on La Reunion island in 2006, an estimated of about 1.3 million cases in India between 2005-2006, over 2 million cases in the Americas from 2013-2016, around 15,000 cases in Thailand between 2018-2019, and around 80,000 cases in Paraguay between 2022-2023. CHIKV has been identified as a virus to cause the next pandemic. The global impact of CHIKV infection is estimated at over 106,000 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) annually, making it one of the World Health Organization's top priority Emerging Infectious Diseases and ranking fourth in public health need according to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. Despite posing a significant public health threat, there is currently no licensed vaccine or available therapy for arthritogenic alphavirus diseases. Understanding host factors is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies. Researchers have made substantial progress in identifying and studying various host factors that play pivotal roles in alphavirus pathogenesis. Although many of these factors have been extensively characterised,knowledge gaps persist, particularly regarding MXRA8 and FHL1. Therefore, this thesis focused on investigating and characterising the roles played by host factors MXRA8 and FHL1 in alphavirus diseases. [...]

description: Utilizing a novel data source from rural Bangladesh that reports individual-level food intake, we find substantial inequities in the intra-household distribution of calories and nutrients, with household heads consuming disproportionately large shares. Importantly, these results do not appear to be driven by assumptions regarding energy requirements. Due to the inequities, aggregate household-level data misclassify the nutritional status of a large share of the population. Additionally, we find that both women’s disempowerment and economic stressors are associated with more inequitable calorie distributions. And we find that in households with more empowered spouses, either the spouse or the children, or both are less likely to be undernourished than in households with less empowered spouses. These findings have implications for food and nutrition program targeting, which often is based on using household-level data with strong assumptions regarding the equitable distribution of calories across household members.

description: We present a modified finite temperature Lanczos method for the evaluation of dynamical and static quantities of strongly correlated electron systems that complements the finite temperature method (FTLM) introduced by Jaklic and Prelovsek for low temperatures. Together they allow accurate calculations at any temperature with moderate effort. As an example we calculate the static spin correlation function and the regular part of the optical conductivity of the one dimensional Hubbard model at half-filling and show in detail the connection between the ground state and finite temperature method. By using Cluster Perturbation Theory (CPT), the finite temperature spectral function is extended to the infinite system, clearly exhibiting the effects of spin-charge separation.

description: China has rapidly emerged as a large milk producer and dairy product importer and there is a growing need for information on China’s dairy market and trade behavior. This study uses the most recently available data to examine the trends of China’s dairy production, demand, and imports and to assess the potential impacts on U.S. exports of alfalfa and dairy products. While the empirical results suggest that China is very likely to remain as a large importer of alfalfa, powder milk, whey, cheese, and many other dairy products for meeting its growing domestic demand, China’s emerging demand for these imports is expected to bring more opportunities for the U.S. dairy industry. On the other hand, the United States is facing more competitions from other alfalfa and dairy product exporters and more studies are needed for developing effective programs to enhance U.S. competitiveness in the Chinese markets.

description: Owing to the significance of combinatorial search strategies both for academia and industry, the introduction of new techniques is a fast growing research field these days. These strategies have really taken different forms ranging from simple to complex strategies in order to solve all forms of combinatorial problems. Nonetheless, despite the kind of problem these approaches solve, they are prone to heavy computation with the number of combinations and growing search space dimensions. This paper presents a new approach to speed up the generation and search processes using a combination of stack and hash table data structures. This approach could be put to practice for the combinatorial approaches to speed up the generation of combinations and search process in the search space. Furthermore, this new approach proved its performance in diverse stages better than other known strategies.

description: With the demand for agricultural water expecting to be increased because of the expanding population growth and with water use efficiency in agricultural sector tending to be low, policy recommendations are needed to encourage farmers to increase agricultural water productivity. The main objective of this paper is to develop a spatial model that determines optimal water allocation and to generate measures of agricultural water productivity along a canal, taking into account the head versus tail disparities in water allocation along a canal. The second objective is to analyze agricultural water productivity change into its components, change in variable inputs and change in water usage, and examine the effect of efficient water usage effort on agricultural water productivity.

description: The presence of Superfund sites can have substantial impacts on local property values. Previous studies using the traditional hedonic price model typically fail to account for spatial dependence or autocorrelation in residential housing. Jefferson County, Kentucky is home to Louisville, the largest city in the state. Seven different Superfund sites are located within or just outside the county border. This study shows that the usage of traditional hedonic pricing model leads to inefficient estimates compared to a spatial error hedonic model. This study also investigates sites in two different phases of the cleanup process, suggesting that median housing value is lower with proximity to deleted Superfund sites, but is not significantly affected by sites classified as final. Finally, the implications of multiple Superfund sites located with five miles of the block group centroid are investigated. This study finds that housing value is not significantly affected by additional Superfund sites.

description: We have carried out a search for Lyman alpha emission from galaxies at z~=2.4 over a field of 1200 sq. arcmin using the CFH12K camera at the CFHT and a custom medium band filter. The search has uncovered 58 candidates, corresponding to a completeness-corrected source density of ~0.07 sq. arcmin^-2. Our sources have red colors (B-I~=1.8) which imply either that a large fraction of the light is highly reddened and we are detecting Lyman alpha through special lines of sight, or that these objects contain an underlying older stellar population. While for each individual object we cannot discriminate between these alternatives, we conclude that most of the objects actually contain an older component because the star formation rates inferred from the picture based on reddening, applied to all candidates, would imply an exceedingly high star formation rate, i.e. more than two orders of magnitude above the peak cosmic star formation rate (e.g. Lilly et al. 1996).

description: The ladder Bethe-Salpeter Equation of a bound (1/2)+ system, composed by a fermion and a scalar boson, is solved in Minkowski space, for the first time. The formal tools are the same already successfully adopted for two-scalar and two-fermion systems, namely the Nakanishi integral representation of the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude and the light-front projection of the fulfilled equation. Numerical results are presented and discussed for two interaction kernels: i) a massive scalar exchange and ii) a massive vector exchange, illustrating both the correlation between binding energies and the interaction coupling constants, as well as the valence content of the interacting state, through the valence probabilities and the light-front momentum distributions. In the case of the scalar exchange, an interesting side effect, to be ascribed to the repulsion generated by the small components of the Dirac spinor, is pointed out, while for the vector exchange the manifestation of the helicity conservation opens new interesting questions to be addressed within a fully non-perturbative framework, as well as the onset of a scale-invariant regime.

description: A family of boundary conditions corresponding to exclusion processes is introduced. This family is a generalization of the boundary conditions corresponding to the simple exclusion process, the drop-push model, and the one-parameter solvable family of pushing processes with certain rates on the continuum [1-3]. The conditional probabilities are calculated using the Bethe ansatz, and it is shown that at large times they behave like the corresponding conditional probabilities of the family of diffusion-pushing processes introduced in [1-3].

title: Addressing the theory and practice gap to improve climate change adaptation

Subjects: subject: climate adaptation
subject: theory-practice gap
subject: climate change
subject: systematic literature review

description: Adaptation to climate change in practice has been limited despite worldwide political attention and the availability of multiple tools to support mainstreaming. The latest IPCC reports show limited progress in adaptation, where efforts are primarily incremental, reactive and slow in responding effectively to current impacts or near-term risks. Despite the more than 380 guidelines, frameworks, tools, and methodologies available in the UNFCCC database that are designed to support climate adaptation, there remains limited evidence of their translation into practice leading to effective adaptation. The central starting point of this thesis is that there is a clear gap between theory and practice requiring urgent action, yet specific research on understanding and addressing the factors creating this gap is still lacking. This thesis aims to understand and conceptualise the theory-practice gap in climate adaptation and to identify drivers and solutions to address it. It makes a substantial contribution to the field of adaptation science and practice by laying the foundation for addressing the gap and, in doing so, improving adaptation efforts. [...]

Demand and Price Analysis

description: The United States may be losing its leading role in the world wheat market. Rising trading volume in foreign futures markets and shifting shares of world trade are suggested as evidence of this shift, but neither necessitates that futures markets in the United States are any less important for wheat price discovery. This paper uses the Hasbrouck (1995) Information Shares method to estimate the proportion of price discovery occurring in wheat futures markets in Chicago and Paris. Our preliminary results suggest that both markets are important for price discovery, but the Chicago market still leads. The proportion of wheat price discovery in each market remained relative stable over the period 2007-2013.
