description: With the Waxman-Markey Bill passing the House and the administration’s push to reduce carbon emissions, the likelihood of the implementation of some form of a carbon emissions policy is increasing. This study estimates the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the six largest row crops produced in Arkansas using 57 different production practices predominantly used and documented by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service. From these GHG emission estimates, a baseline state “carbon footprint” was estimated and a hypothetical GHG emissions reduction of 5, 10, and 20 percent was levied on Arkansas agriculture using a cap-and-trade method. Using current production technology and traditional land use choices, results show that the trading of carbon-emitting permits to reduce statewide GHG emissions by 5 percent from the baseline would enhance GHG emissions efficiency measured as net crop farm income generated per unit of carbon emissions created. The 5 percent reduction in GHG emissions does cause marginal reductions in acres farmed and has marginal income ramifications. Beyond the 5 percent reduction target, gains in GHG emissions efficiency decline but remain positive in most counties through the 10 percent GHG reduction target. However, with a 10 percent GHG reduction, acreage and income reductions more than double compared to the 5 percent level. When GHG emissions are reduced by 20 percent from the baseline, the result is a major cropping pattern shift coupled with significant reductions in traditional row crop acreage, income, and GHG emissions efficiency.

Effect of partial substitution of iso-valent Mo at Cr-site on electronic structure and physical properties of Fe2CrAl

description: Heusler alloy Fe2CrAl exhibits a ferromagnetic behaviour below Curie temperature (TC) ~ 202 K along with presence of cluster glass (CG) phase near freezing temperature (Tf) ~ 3.9 K and Griffiths phase (GP) above 300 K. The physical properties of this alloy are very sensitive to substitutions and anti-site disorder. Here, we investigate the effect of partial substitution of Mo at Cr-site on physical properties of Fe2CrAl. Structural and morphological analysis confirms the single cubic structure of the substituted alloys. Increment in Mo concentration shifts the TC towards lower temperature, which is ascribed to the effect of increased hybridization strength between 3d-4d states of Fe/Cr/Mo. Additionally, systematic analysis of AC susceptibility, magnetic memory effect and time dependent magnetization studies confirm the presence of CG-like phase near (Tf) ~ 3.5 K in Fe2Cr0.95Mo0.05Al. Such feature gets suppressed towards lower temperature with an increase of Mo concentration, i.e. below 1.8 K in Fe2Cr0.85Mo0.15Al. The origin of the glassy signature is ascribed to the decrement in magnetic anisotropy with Mo concentration. A partial increment in magnetic entropy change is also noted near TC with the increase in Mo substitution. Interestingly, at high temperatures (above 350 K), GP phase persists in both the alloys due to the presence of anti-site disorder.

description: Coherent states of the two dimensional harmonic oscillator are constructed as superpositions of energy and angular momentum eigenstates. It is shown that these states are Gaussian wave-packets moving along a classical trajectory, with a well defined elliptical polarization. They are coherent correlated states with respect to the usual cartesian position and momentum operators. A set of creation and annihilation operators is defined in polar coordinates, and it is shown that these same states are precisely coherent states with respect to such operators.

description: We clarify the status of transplanckian effects on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy. We do so using the boundary effective action formalism of hep-th/0401164 which accounts quantitatively for the cosmological vacuum ambiguity. In this formalism we can clearly 1) delineate the validity of cosmological effective actions in an expanding universe. The corollary of the initial state ambiguity is the existence of an earliest time. The inability of an effective action to describe physics before this time demands that one sets initial conditions on the earliest time hypersurface. A calculation then shows that CMB anisotropy measurements are generically sensitive to high energy corrections to the initial conditions. 2) We compute the one-loop contribution to the stress-tensor due to high-energy physics corrections to an arbitrary cosmological initial state. We find that phenomenological bounds on the backreaction do not lead to strong constraints on the coefficient of the leading boundary irrelevant operator. Rather, we find that the power spectrum itself is the quantity most sensitive to initial state corrections. 3) The computation of the one-loop backreaction confirms arguments that irrelevant corrections to the Bunch-Davies initial state yield non-adiabatic vacua characterized by an energy excess at some earlier time. However, this excess only dominates over the classical background at times before the `earliest time' at which the effective action is valid. We conclude that the cosmological effective action with boundaries is a fully self-consistent and quantitative approach to transplanckian corrections to the CMB.

Neutrino Oscillations at Supernova Core Bounce Generate the Strongest Gravitational-Wave Bursts

description: During the core bounce of a supernova collapse resonant active-to-active ($ν_a \to ν_a$), as well as active-to-sterile ($ν_a \to ν_s$) neutrino ($ν$) oscillations can take place. Besides, over this phase weak magnetism increases antineutrino ($\barν$) mean free paths, and thus its luminosity. Because the oscillation feeds mass-energy into the target $ν$ species, the large mass-squared difference between species ($ν_a \to ν_s$) implies a huge amount of power to be given off as gravitational waves ($L_{\textrm{GWs}} \sim 10^{49}erg s$^{-1}$), due to anisotropic but coherent $ν$ flow over the oscillation length. This anisotropy in the $ν$-flux is driven by both the {\it universal spin-rotation} and the spin-magnetic coupling. The new spacetime strain estimated this way is still several orders of magnitude larger than those from $ν$ diffusion (convection and cooling) or quadrupole moments of the neutron star matter. This new feature turns these bursts the more promising supernova gravitational-wave signal that may be detected by observatories as LIGO, VIRGO, etc., for distances far out to the VIRGO cluster of galaxies.

description: Reranking plays a crucial role in modern multi-stage recommender systems by rearranging the initial ranking list. Due to the inherent challenges of combinatorial search spaces, some current research adopts an evaluator-generator paradigm, with a generator generating feasible sequences and an evaluator selecting the best sequence based on the estimated list utility. However, these methods still face two issues. Firstly, due to the goal inconsistency problem between the evaluator and generator, the generator tends to fit the local optimal solution of exposure distribution rather than combinatorial space optimization. Secondly, the strategy of generating target items one by one is difficult to achieve optimality because it ignores the information of subsequent items.
 To address these issues, we propose a utilizing Neighbor Lists model for Generative Reranking (NLGR), which aims to improve the performance of the generator in the combinatorial space. NLGR follows the evaluator-generator paradigm and improves the generator's training and generating methods. Specifically, we use neighbor lists in combination space to enhance the training process, making the generator perceive the relative scores and find the optimization direction. Furthermore, we propose a novel sampling-based non-autoregressive generation method, which allows the generator to jump flexibly from the current list to any neighbor list. Extensive experiments on public and industrial datasets validate NLGR's effectiveness and we have successfully deployed NLGR on the Meituan food delivery platform.

description: The rapid shift toward video on-demand and real time information systems has affected mobile as well as wired networks. The research community has placed a strong focus on optimizing the Quality of Experience (QoE) of video traffic, mainly because video is popular among Internet users. Techniques have been proposed in different directions towards improvement of the perception of video users. This paper investigates the performance of a novel cross-layer architecture for optimizing the QoE of video traffic. The proposed architecture is compared to two other architectures; non-adaptive and adaptive. For the former, video traffic is sent without adaptation, whereas for the later video sources adapt their transmission rate. Both are compared in terms of the mean opinion score of video sessions, number of sessions, delay, packet drop ratio, jitter and utilization. The results from extensive simulations show that the proposed architecture outperforms the non-adaptive and adaptive architectures for video traffic.

description: This study examines the impact of climate change on land use in the Prairie Pothole Region of Western Canada, with particular emphasis on how climate change will impact wetlands. A multi-region Positive Mathematical Programming model calibrates land use in the area to observed acreage in 2006. Policy simulations for both climate effects as well as the effects of biofuel policies determine how climate change will affect land use and wetlands. Given that the model calibrates to observed acreage, the policies provide a realistic view of how land use might change from current levels, given the effects of climate change. Results indicate that climate change could decrease wetlands in this area by as much as 50 percent. The effect will be very different depending on whether or not the social benefits of wetlands are considered, and the effects of climate change on wetlands are heterogeneous across the Prairie Provinces.

description: In this paper, we obtain new non-singular Einstein-Sasaki spaces in dimensions D\ge 7. The local construction involves taking a circle bundle over a (D-1)-dimensional Einstein-Kahler metric that is itself constructed as a complex line bundle over a product of Einstein-Kahler spaces. In general the resulting Einstein-Sasaki spaces are singular, but if parameters in the local solutions satisfy appropriate rationality conditions, the metrics extend smoothly onto complete and non-singular compact manifolds.

description: We investigate finite volume effects on the pion mass and the pion decay constant with renormalization group (RG) methods in the framework of a phenomenological model for QCD. An understanding of such effects is important in order to interpret results from lattice QCD and extrapolate reliably from finite lattice volumes to infinite volume. We consider the quark-meson-model in a finite Euclidean 3+1 dimensional volume. In order to break chiral symmetry in the finite volume, we introduce a small current quark mass. In the corresponding effective potential for the meson fields, the chiral O(4)-symmetry is broken explicitly, and the sigma and pion fields are treated individually. Using the proper-time renormalization group, we derive renormalization group flow equations in the finite volume and solve these equations in the approximation of a constant expectation value. We calculate the volume dependence of pion mass and pion decay constant and compare our results with recent results from chiral perturbation theory in finite volume.

description: In this paper, we show that the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry with a good quality can be realized in a simple $B-L$ extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The PQ symmetry is a remnant of the $B-L$ gauge symmetry at the renormalizable level. Besides, the sufficient quality of the PQ symmetry is preserved by a non anomalous discrete gauged $R$-symmetry and a small gravitino mass $m_{3/2}\ll 100$GeV. A viable mass range is $m_{3/2}=\mathcal{O}(1)$eV which allows a high reheating temperature and many baryogenesis scenarios typified by the thermal leptogenesis without any astrophysical and cosmological problems. Such a light gravitino may be tested in the future 21cm line observations.

description: The recent discovery of hidden non-axysimmetric and disk-like structures in bright Virgo dwarf elliptical and lenticular galaxies (dE/dSph/dS0) indicates that they may have late-type progenitors. Using N-body simulations we follow the evolution of disk galaxies within a LambdaCDM cluster simulated with 10e7 particles, where the hierarchical growth and galaxy harassment are modeled self-consistently. Most of the galaxies undergo significant morphological transformation, even at the outskirts of the cluster, and move through the Hubble sequence from late type disks to dwarf spheroidals. None of the disks are completely destroyed therefore they can not be the progenitors of ultra compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs). The time evolution of the simulated galaxies is compared with unsharp-masked images obtained from VLT data and the projected kinematics of our models with the latest high resolution spectroscopic studies from the Keck and Palomar telescopes.

Study of dose escalation protocols in prostate cancer radiation therapy with patient realignment by using internal fiducial markers
Creators: name: Zhang, Miao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Use of internal fiducial markers and electronic portal imaging (EPID) to realign patients has been shown to significantly reduce positioning uncertainties in prostate radiation treatment. This creates the possibility of improving the treatment by decreasing the planning target volume (PTV) margin added on the clinical target volume (CTV), which in turn may allow dose escalation. As a first step we do test on 3 patients. Conformal treatment plans for 3 prostate cancer patients were evaluated by using different PTV margins with dose prescription of 70Gy/35fr initially. Two beam arrangements, 4-Field-Box (4FB) and 4-Field-Oblique (4FO), were used. Then, two dose escalation schemes, 74Gy and 78Gy, with tighter prescribed PTV margins chosen from the first simulation were tested. A Monte Carlo model was developed to simulate the daily organ motion and calculate the dose to organs. After the whole treatment, dose-volume histograms were produced and tumour control probability (TCP), equivalent uniform dose (EUD) and the effective dose to critical organs (Deff) were calculated. By comparing the biological factors, optimized dose escalation schemes were found. The results show that using internal fiducial markers and EPID, the prescription dose can be escalated to 78Gy/37fr with a 4mm PTV margin. Based on the available dose-response data for intermediate ' risk prostate patients this is estimated to result in a 20% increase of TCP and significantly reduced rectal complications. From these results, another test on 20 patients was performed to test the general validity of the dose escalation, which counts the second step of this project. We compared the outcome of two plans: one is 70Gy/35fr, 10mm PTV margin and without patient realignment (Reference Plan) and another is 78Gy/39fr, 5mm PTV margin with patient realignment (Escalated Plan). Four-field-oblique (gantry angles 35°, 90°, 270°, 325°) beam arrangement was used. Using the same method described before. Results show that for intermediate risk prostate patients by using dose escalation to 78Gy/39fr with a 5mm PTV margin will provide a 20% increase of local control and significantly reduced rectal complications.

description: Domain-generalizable re-identification (DG Re-ID) aims to train a model on one or more source domains and evaluate its performance on unseen target domains, a task that has attracted growing attention due to its practical relevance. While numerous methods have been proposed, most rely on discriminative or contrastive learning frameworks to learn generalizable feature representations. However, these approaches often fail to mitigate shortcut learning, leading to suboptimal performance. In this work, we propose a novel method called diffusion model-assisted representation learning with a correlation-aware conditioning scheme (DCAC) to enhance DG Re-ID. Our method integrates a discriminative and contrastive Re-ID model with a pre-trained diffusion model through a correlation-aware conditioning scheme. By incorporating ID classification probabilities generated from the Re-ID model with a set of learnable ID-wise prompts, the conditioning scheme injects dark knowledge that captures ID correlations to guide the diffusion process. Simultaneously, feedback from the diffusion model is back-propagated through the conditioning scheme to the Re-ID model, effectively improving the generalization capability of Re-ID features. Extensive experiments on both single-source and multi-source DG Re-ID tasks demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance. Comprehensive ablation studies further validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, providing insights into its robustness. Codes will be available at https://github.com/RikoLi/DCAC.

description: We define the Zappa-Szép product of a Fell bundle by a groupoid, which turns out to be a Fell bundle over the Zappa-Szép product of the underlying groupoids. Under certain assumptions, every Fell bundle over the Zappa-Szép product of groupoids arises in this manner. We then study the representation associated with the Zappa-Szép product Fell bundle and show its relation to covariant representations. Finally, we study the associated universal C*-algebra, which turns out to be a C*-blend, generalizing an earlier result about the Zappa-Szép product of groupoid C*-algebras. In the case of discrete groups, the universal C*-algebra of a Fell bundle embeds injectively inside the universal C*-algebra of the Zappa-Szép product Fell bundle.

description: We prove that many complete, noncompact, constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces $f:Σ\to \R^3$ are nondegenerate; that is, the Jacobi operator $Δ_f + |A_f|^2$ has no $L^2$ kernel. In fact, if $Σ$ has genus zero and $f(Σ)$ is contained in a half-space, then we find an explicit upper bound for the dimension of the $L^2$ jernel in terms of the number of non-cylindrical ends. Our main tool is a conjugation operation on Jacobi fields which linearizes the conjugate cousin construction. Consequences include partial regularity for CMC moduli space, a larger class of CMC surfaces to use in gluing constructions, and a surprising characterization of CMC surfaces via spinning spheres.

description: Artificial intelligence can now provide more solutions for different problems, especially in the medical field. One of those problems the lack of answers to any given medical/health-related question. The Internet is full of forums that allow people to ask some specific questions and get great answers for them. Nevertheless, browsing these questions in order to locate one similar to your own, also finding a satisfactory answer is a difficult and time-consuming task. This research will introduce a solution to this problem by automating the process of generating qualified answers to these questions and creating a kind of digital doctor. Furthermore, this research will train an end-to-end model using the framework of RNN and the encoder-decoder to generate sensible and useful answers to a small set of medical/health issues. The proposed model was trained and evaluated using data from various online services, such as WebMD, HealthTap, eHealthForums, and iCliniq.

description: We compute ratios between the vector and pseudoscalar, and tensor and vector decay constants, and between hyperfine splittings for $D_{(s)}^{(*)}$ and $B_{(s)}^{(*)}$ mesons. We use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action for all valence quarks, paired with the second generation MILC $n_f = 2+1+1$ HISQ gluon field configurations. These include light sea quarks with $m_u = m_d \equiv m_l$ going down to the physical values, as well as physically tuned strange and charm sea quarks. We also use a HISQ valence heavy quark, with mass ranging from that of the $c$-quark up to very nearly that of the physical $b$-quark on the finest lattices, allowing us to map out the heavy-quark mass dependence of the decay constant and hyperfine splitting ratios.

description: We derive a semiclassical approximation to the Husimi functions of stationary states of spin systems. We rederive the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization for spin by locating the poles of the corresponding local Green function. The residues correspond to the Husimi functions, which are seen to agree very well with exact calculations.

description: The isolated horizon formalism recently introduced by Ashtekar et al. aims at providing a quasi-local concept of a black hole in equilibrium in an otherwise possibly dynamical spacetime. In this formalism, a hierarchy of geometrical structures is constructed on a null hypersurface. On the other side, the 3+1 formulation of general relativity provides a powerful setting for studying the spacetime dynamics, in particular gravitational radiation from black hole systems. Here we revisit the kinematics and dynamics of null hypersurfaces by making use of some 3+1 slicing of spacetime. In particular, the additional structures induced on null hypersurfaces by the 3+1 slicing permit a natural extension to the full spacetime of geometrical quantities defined on the null hypersurface. This 4-dimensional point of view facilitates the link between the null and spatial geometries. We proceed by reformulating the isolated horizon structure in this framework. We also reformulate previous works, such as Damour's black hole mechanics, and make the link with a previous 3+1 approach of black hole horizon, namely the membrane paradigm. We explicit all geometrical objects in terms of 3+1 quantities, putting a special emphasis on the conformal 3+1 formulation. This is in particular relevant for the initial data problem of black hole spacetimes for numerical relativity. Illustrative examples are provided by considering various slicings of Schwarzschild and Kerr spacetimes.

description: Following acute retinal damage, zebrafish possess the ability to regenerate all neuronal subtypes through Müller glia (MG) reprogramming and asymmetric cell division that produces a multipotent Müller glia-derived neuronal progenitor cell (MGPC). This raises three key questions. First, do MG reprogram to a developmental retinal progenitor cell (RPC) state? Second, to what extent does regeneration recapitulate retinal development? And finally, does loss of different retinal cell subtypes induce unique MG regeneration responses? We examined these questions by performing single-nuclear and single-cell RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq in both developing and regenerating retinas. Here we show that injury induces MG to reprogram to a state similar to late-stage RPCs. However, there are major transcriptional differences between MGPCs and RPCs, as well as major transcriptional differences between activated MG and MGPCs when different retinal cell subtypes are damaged. Validation of candidate genes confirmed that loss of different subtypes induces differences in transcription factor gene expression and regeneration outcomes.

Interference and k-point sampling in the supercell approach to phase-coherent transport

description: We present a systematic study of interference and k-point sampling effects in the supercell approach to phase-coherent electron transport. We use a representative tight-binding model to show that interference between the repeated images is a small effect compared to the error introduced by using only the Gamma-point for a supercell containing (3,3) sites in the transverse plane. An insufficient k-point sampling can introduce strong but unphysical features in the transmission function which can be traced to the presence of van Hove singularities in the lead. We present a first-principles calculation of the transmission through a Pt contact which shows that the k-point sampling is also important for realistic systems.

description: The experimental results relevant for the understanding of the microscopic dynamics in liquid metals are reviewed, with special regards to the ones achieved in the last two decades. Inelastic Neutron Scattering played a major role since the development of neutron facilities in the sixties. The last ten years, however, saw the development of third generation radiation sources, which opened the possibility of performing Inelastic Scattering with X rays, thus disclosing previously unaccessible energy-momentum regions. The purely coherent response of X rays, moreover, combined with the mixed coherent/incoherent response typical of neutron scattering, provides enormous potentialities to disentangle aspects related to the collectivity of motion from the single particle dynamics. If the last twenty years saw major experimental developments, on the theoretical side fresh ideas came up to the side of the most traditional and established theories. Beside the raw experimental results, therefore, we review models and theoretical approaches for the description of microscopic dynamics over different length-scales, from the hydrodynamic region down to the single particle regime, walking the perilous and sometimes uncharted path of the generalized hydrodynamics extension. Approaches peculiar of conductive systems, based on the ionic plasma theory, are also considered, as well as kinetic and mode coupling theory applied to hard sphere systems, which turn out to mimic with remarkable detail the atomic dynamics of liquid metals. Finally, cutting edges issues and open problems, such as the ultimate origin of the anomalous acoustic dispersion or the relevance of transport properties of a conductive systems in ruling the ionic dynamic structure factor are discussed.
