Ten-Dimensional Supergravity Constraints from the Pure Spinor Formalism for the Superstring

description: It has recently been shown that the ten-dimensional superstring can be quantized using the BRST operator $Q=\ointλ^αd_α$ where $λ^α$ is a pure spinor satisfying $λγ^m λ=0$ and $d_α$ is the fermionic supersymmetric derivative. In this paper, the pure spinor version of superstring theory is formulated in a curved supergravity background and it is shown that nilpotency and holomorphicity of the pure spinor BRST operator imply the on-shell superspace constraints of the supergravity background. This is shown to lowest order in $α'$ for the heterotic and Type II superstrings, thus providing a compact pure spinor version of the ten-dimensional superspace constraints for N=1, Type IIA and Type IIB supergravities. Since quantization is straightforward using the pure spinor version of the superstring, it is expected that these methods can also be used to compute higher-order $α'$ corrections to the ten-dimensional superspace constraints.

description: The management of rivers and floodplains is subject to multiple legal frameworks. For this reason, methods that allow a comparison of different management options are needed. Here, we apply both a literature and an expert-based approach to present an utilisable and transparent matrix approach for Central Europe, linking an array of 17 management measures with the provision of 23 ecosystem services (ESSs). In the overall matrix, 44% of the links were found to be positive or highly positive and 11% were negative or highly negative, while the other links were characterised as ambiguous or as having no effect. Overall, the effect spectra of management measures on various ESSs often indicated reduced provisioning ESSs, in particular those related to agriculture, while regulating and cultural ESSs have increased. Habitat restoration, floodplain restoration and flood risk reduction on agricultural land were the management measures that showed the most positive effects on ESSs, followed by dyke relocation. Besides the evaluation of such measures, this comprehensive approach helped to reveal knowledge gaps regarding the effects of management measures on the ESSs dealing with nutrient retention, and cultural ESSs. The matrix allows an integrative evaluation of the multifunctionality and efficiency of common management measures.EDITED BY Neville Crossman EDITED BY Neville Crossman

description: Purpose – This column aims to look at the different economic and intellectual approaches to copyright as separate cultures whose assumptions and approaches make it difficult for them to share a single copyright law. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology relies heavily on anthropological analysis to distinguish the expectations and language of subgroups and microcultures within the larger national and international copyright communities. Findings – At least three different copyright cultures exist: for authors who require long-term protection for financial gain from their works; for authors who require short-term protection for financial gain from their works; and for authors whose value depends on access instead of protection. Important subsets of the author cultures are also copyright consumers whose interests require access as well as protection. Originality/value – This analysis helps to show why existing copyright laws serve the interests of some groups better than others. It also explains why open access makes sense as an established legal alternative to automatic long-term copyright enforcement.

description: Prototype SiPMs with 4384 pixels of dimensions $15 \times 15~μ$m$^2$ produced by KETEK have been irradiated with reactor neutrons to eight fluences between $10^9$ and $5\times 10^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$. For temperatures between $-30~^\circ $C and $+30~^\circ $C capacitance-voltage, admittance-frequency, current-forward voltage, current-reverse voltage and charge-voltage measurements with and without illumination by a sub-nanosecond laser have been performed. The data have been analysed using different methods in order to extract the dependence on neutron fluence and temperature of the electrical parameters, the breakdown oltage, the activation energy for the current generation, the dark-count rate and the response to light pulses. The results from the different analysis methods are compared.

description: We study the dynamics of vortex lattice formation of a rotating trapped Bose-Einstein condensate by numerically solving the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation, and find that the condensate undergoes elliptic deformation, followed by unstable surface-mode excitations before forming a quantized vortex lattice. The origin of the peculiar surface-mode excitations is identified to be phase fluctuations at the low-density surface regime. The obtained dependence of a distortion parameter on time and that on the driving frequency agree with the recent experiments by Madison {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 86}, 4443 (2001)].

description: Although there is a vast bibliography on the negative consequences of unemployment for mental health, thereare no studies that analyze the differences between men and women in relation to the consequences that unemploymentcould have simultaneously on self-esteem and depression. The main objective of this study was to analyze whether,unemployment is differentially associated with the self-esteem of men and women, and to test whether this circumstancecan be considered a psychological mechanism by which we could explain differences in depression for men andwomen. Results show that self-esteem is a mediating variable (indirect effect = .11; 90% CI [.04, .19]), considering itsdifferential impact on depression, but this mediation is moderated by the gender of the respondents (b = .21, 90% IC [.01, .40].In summary, unemployment is associated with lower self-esteem, which in turn is related to greater depressive symptoms.This relationship is only observed for men and not for women.

description: Uncompensated moments in antiferromagnets are responsible for exchange bias in antiferromagnet/ferromagnet heterostructures; however, they are difficult to directly detect because any signal they contribute is typically overwhelmed by the ferromagnetic layer. We use magneto-thermal microscopy to image uncompensated moments in thin films of FeRh, a room-temperature antiferromagnet that exhibits a 1st-order phase transition to a ferromagnetic state near 100~$^\circ$C. FeRh provides the unique opportunity to study both uncompensated moments in the antiferromagnetic phase and the interaction of uncompensated moments with emergent ferromagnetism within a relatively broad (10-15~$^\circ$C) temperature range near $T_C$. In the AF phase below $T_C$, we image both pinned UMs, which cause local vertical exchange bias, and unpinned UMs, which exhibit an enhanced coercive field that reflects exchange-coupling to the AF bulk. Near $T_C$, where AF and FM order coexist, we find that the emergent FM order is exchange-coupled to the bulk Néel order. This exchange coupling leads to the nucleation of unusual configurations in which different FM domains are pinned parallel, antiparallel, and perpendicular to the applied magnetic field before suddenly collapsing into a state uniformly parallel to the field.

description: We present high-resolution ALMA observations of the C$^{18}$O, $^{13}$CO and $^{12}$CO $J$=1-0 isotopologues in 3 nearby ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGS; Arp 220, IRAS 13120-5453, IRAS 17208-0014) and 1 nearby post-merger galaxy (NGC 2623). In all 4 systems, we measure high $^{12}$CO/C$^{18}$O and $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO integrated line ratios while the $^{13}$CO/C$^{18}$O ratio is observed to be extremely low in comparison to typical star-forming disks, supporting previous work. We investigate whether these unusual line ratios are due to dynamical effects, astrochemistry within the gas, or nucleosynthesis in stars. Assuming both lines are optically thin, low $^{13}$CO/C$^{18}$O values suggest that C$^{18}$O is more abundant than $^{13}$CO in the interstellar medium of these systems. A plausible explanation is that local ULIRGs and their progeny have an excess in massive star formation; in other words, they are producing a top-heavy stellar initial mass function.

description: Plant species selection is an important criterion for improving treatment wetland performance. The aim of this work was to evaluate removal efficiency and potential uses of woody species in treatment wetlands during the establishment year. Plant development, removal efficiency and evapotranspiration rate of five woody species (Salix interior, Salix miyabeana, Sambucus canadensis, Myrica gale, Acer saccharinum) and four herbaceous taxa typically used in treatment wetlands (Typha angustifolia, Phragmites australis australis, Phragmites australis americanus, Phalaris arundinacea) were compared in a mesocosm-scale study during one growing season. Woody species showed significantly slower growth, but displayed several characteristics of interest for treatment wetland applications: good adaptation to wetlands conditions; high organic matter removal (76–88%); high nutrient accumulation in tissues and high evapotranspiration capacity. During the establishment year, herbaceous species showed greater biomass development (above- and belowground parts), higher evapotranspiration rate (>3.84 L m−2 d−1 compared to <3.23 L m−2 d−1 for woody species) and overall pollutant removal efficiency. These characteristics confirm the high efficiency of treatment wetlands planted with herbaceous species even in the first growing season. However, given their greater potential biomass development, woody species could represent an excellent alternative for improving treatment wetlands long-term performance.

description: We suggest a general scheme for quantum state engineering based on conditional measurements carried out on entangled twin-beam of radiation. Realistic detection schemes such as {\sc on/off} photodetection, homodyne detection and joint measurement of two-mode quadratures are analyzed in details. Imperfections of the apparatuses, such as nonunit quantum efficiency and finite resolution, are taken into account. We show that conditional {\sc on/off} photodetection provides a reliable scheme to verify nonclassicality, whereas conditional homodyning represents a tunable and robust source of squeezed light. We also describe optical teleportation as a conditional measurement, and evaluate the degrading effects of finite amount of entanglement, decoherence due to losses, and nonunit quantum efficiency.

description: This paper deals with the concept of a 'Physical Internet', the idea of building large logistics systems like the very successful Digital Internet network. The idea is to handle mobile resources, such as containers, just like Internet data packets. Thus, it is possible to use the principles of encapsulation and routing to optimize the freight. The problem is that mobile resources, such as containers, are not quite similar to data packets, because they are real and not dematerialized. Thus the handling and the storing of mobile resources, such as containers, will create imbalances in the logistics network, leading to starvation or overstocking of logistic network nodes. We propose in this paper a study addressing this problem leading to some solutions.

Design/methodology/approach – Copyright guidelines are considered. The US TEACH Act and Fair Use statutes are examined, as well as how to make a risk assessment for the institution. Findings – US universities have a reasonable freedom to use protected materials in the virtual equivalent of face-to-face teaching, as long as it costs the rights holders no loss of expected income and as long as it takes into account the litigiousness of certain firms and associations. Originality/value – Each copyright use assessment has unique circumstances, but a discussion of the reasoning behind an actual case helps to build a community of good practice that strengthens similar assessments.

description: Bayes’ theorem is about updating assumptions. It provides a mathematical basis for a heuristic search algorithm. A system using such an algorithm could make a kind of “best guess” about what the query is likely to mean. Some disadvantages include the need for more individualized information, a possible tendency to focus on a limited set of works, and the potential for encouraging slopping searching. The literature on heuristic systems is already substantial, and is relevant to all of us in the library and information field.

description: We demonstrate time-resolved nonlinear extreme-ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy on multiply charged ions, here applied to the doubly charged neon ion, driven by a phase-locked sequence of two intense free-electron laser pulses. Absorption signatures of resonance lines due to 2$p$--3$d$ bound--bound transitions between the spin-orbit multiplets $^3$P$_{0,1,2}$ and $^3$D$_{1,2,3}$ of the transiently produced doubly charged Ne$^{2+}$ ion are revealed, with time-dependent spectral changes over a time-delay range of $(2.4\pm0.3)\,\text{fs}$. Furthermore, we observe 10-meV-scale spectral shifts of these resonances owing to the AC Stark effect. We use a time-dependent quantum model to explain the observations by an enhanced coupling of the ionic quantum states with the partially coherent free-electron-laser radiation when the phase-locked pump and probe pulses precisely overlap in time.

description: We construct a covariant quantum superstring, extending Berkovits' approach by introducing new ghosts to relax the pure spinor constraints. The central charge of the underlying Kac-Moody algebra, which would lead to an anomaly in the BRST charge, is treated as a new generator with a new b-c system. We construct a nilpotent BRST current, an anomalous ghost current and an anomaly-free energy-momentum tensor. For open superstrings, we find the correct massless spectrum. In addition, we construct a Lorentz invariant B-field to be used for the computation of the integrated vertex operators and amplitudes.

description: Purpose – This paper aims to focus on how long-term digital archiving systems are tested and what benchmarks and other metrics are necessary for that testing to produce data that the community can use to make decisions. Design/methodology/approach – The article reviews recent literature about digital archiving systems involving public and semi-public tests. It then looks specifically at the rules and metrics needed for doing public or semi-public testing for three specific issues: triggering migration; ingest rates; and storage capacity measurement. Findings – Important literature on testing exists but common metrics do not, and too few data are available at this point to establish them reliably. Metrics are needed to judge the quality and timeliness of an archive's migration services. Archives should offer benchmarks for the speed of ingest, but that will happen only once they come to agreement about starting and ending points. Storage capacity is another area where librarians are raising questions, but without proxy measures and agreement about data amounts, such testing cannot proceed. Practical implications – Testing is necessary to develop useful metrics and benchmarks about performance. At present the archiving community has too little data on which to make decisions about long term digital archiving, and as long as that is the case, the decisions may well be flawed. Originality/value – The article shows that testing is key to making rational decisions about digital long term archiving systems but establishing metrics and rules by which librarians can compare the results is far from easy.

description: Many existing and proposed experiments targeting QCD axion dark matter (DM) can also search for a broad class of axion-like particles (ALPs). We analyze the experimental sensitivities to electromagnetically-coupled ALP DM in different cosmological scenarios with the relic abundance set by the misalignment mechanism. We obtain benchmark DM targets for the standard thermal cosmology, a pre-nucleosynthesis period of early matter domination, and a period of kination. These targets are theoretically simple and assume $\mathcal{O}(1)$ misalignment angles, avoiding fine-tuning of the initial conditions. We find that some experiments will have sensitivity to these ALP DM targets before they are sensitive to the QCD axion, and others can potentially reach interesting targets below the QCD band. The ALP DM abundance also depends on the origin of the ALP mass. Temperature-dependent masses that are generated by strong dynamics (as for the QCD axion) correspond to DM candidates with smaller decay constants, resulting in even better detection prospects.

description: It is argued that in the description of macroscopic systems inside quantum mechanics the study of the dynamics of selected degrees of freedom slowly varying on a suitable time scale, corresponding to relevant observables for the given reduced description, is particularly meaningful. A formalism developing these ideas in the more simple case of a microsystem interacting with a macroscopic system is briefly outlined, together with an application to the field of neutron optics. The obtained reduced description relies on a T-matrix formalism and has the property of complete positivity.

description: Crop residue use for soil mulch and animal feed are the two major competing purposes and the basic source of fundamental challenge in conservation agriculture (CA) where residue retention on farm plots is one of the three CA principles. Using survey data from Kenya and applying bivariate ordered Probit and bivariate Tobit models, this paper analyzes the tradeoffs in maize residue use as soil mulch and livestock feed in mixed farming systems. Results show that both the proportion and quantity of maize residue used for soil mulch and livestock feed are strongly affected by agroecology and livestock holding. Farmer knowledge about alternative use of crop residues and farmer perception of soil erosion risk (proxied through plot steepness) positively affect the amount of residue farmers retain on maize plots. Results imply that crop residue use as soil mulch in conservation agriculture is challenged in mixed crop-livestock systems and particularly by smallholder farmers owning cross-bred and exotic dairy animals. In general, reducing the demand for crop residues as livestock feed through the introduction of alternative feed sources, better extension services on the use of crop residue as soil mulch and designing agroecology specific strategies and interventions could facilitate the adoption and expansion of CA-based practices in mixed crop-livestock systems.

description: A Value-at-Risk based model is proposed to compute the adequate equity capital necessary to cover potential losses due to operational risks, such as human and system process failures, in banking organizations. Exploring the analogy to a lattice gas model from physics, correlations between sequential failures are modeled by as functionally defined, heterogeneous couplings between mutually supportive processes. In contrast to traditional risk models for market and credit risk, where correlations are described by the covariance of Gaussian processes, the dynamics of the model shows collective phenomena such as bursts and avalanches of process failures.

description: Background: Overdose deaths from fentanyl and its analogs have increased significantly since 2013. There are limited data regarding the prevalence of fentanyl exposure among emergency department (ED) patients with active opioid use. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at an urban hospital from May 20 to July 30, 2018. A convenience sample of adult ED patients with active opioid use, defined as opioid use within seven days prior to ED visit, were enrolled. Rapid Response® Single Drug Test Strip (BTNX Inc., Markham, Canada) was used to detect fentanyl in urine samples. Information on demographic, substance use history, and knowledge of fentanyl was obtained using a brief survey tool. Our primary outcome was the prevalence of fentanyl exposure; secondary outcomes included patients’ knowledge regarding potency, risk of overdose death from fentanyl and intentional purchase of fentanyl. Results: During our study period, 451 patients reported active substance use. Of these, 208 reported active opioid use and 165 consented for the study. The median age was 49 years [interquartile range: 38, 57] and 77.0% (n = 127) were male; 42 participants (25.5%) presented to ED after an acute overdose event. Heroin was the preferred opioid of use in 90.8% of the participants, primarily via intranasal route (64.6%). Polysubstance use was reported in 98.8%, most commonly with cocaine (57.6%; n = 95). Fentanyl was detected in 104 out of 129 urine samples tested (80.6%). 84.2% (n = 139) identified fentanyl as highly potent and 85.5% (n = 141) recognized highest risk of death in fentanyl overdose. A larger proportion of non-overdose participants intentionally purchased fentanyl (34.1%; n = 42) compared to the overdose group (16.7%, n = 7; p = .04). Conclusions: The majority of ED patient with active opiate use were exposed to fentanyl while one in three participants intentionally purchased fentanyl despite their awareness of its potency and the high-risk of death from overdose.

description: Simulations of stochastic processes play an important role in the quantitative sciences, enabling the characterisation of complex systems. Recent work has established a quantum advantage in stochastic simulation, leading to quantum devices that execute a simulation using less memory than possible by classical means. To realise this advantage it is essential that the memory register remains coherent, and coherently interacts with the processor, allowing the simulator to operate over many time steps. Here we report a multi-time-step experimental simulation of a stochastic process using less memory than the classical limit. A key feature of the photonic quantum information processor is that it creates a quantum superposition of all possible future trajectories that the system can evolve into. This superposition allows us to introduce, and demonstrate, the idea of comparing statistical futures of two classical processes via quantum interference. We demonstrate interference of two 16-dimensional quantum states, representing statistical futures of our process, with a visibility of 0.96 $\pm$ 0.02.

 Material examined: THAILAND: 1 ♀, Doi Inthanon Nat. Park, Siriphum, Chieng Mai Province, 1200−1300 m, 21−24.x.1984, leg. Karsholt, Lomholdt & Nielsen, genitalia slide No. ZMUC-NK014.
 Distribution. China (Guangdong, Hainan, Hong Kong), India, Sri Lanka (Kurunegala, Puttalam), Thailand (Chieng Mai), Vietnam (Gialai-Kontum, Son La).
 Remarks. The specimens of Promalactis semantris (Meyrick, 1906) collected from China, Thailand and Vietnam are almost the same in the male genitalia as those of P. semantris from the type locality dissected by Clarke (1963) except slight variations on the dorso-distal part of valva. However, the forewing lacks the basal white streak versus the original description by Meyrick (1906). So the type series of P. semantris described by Meyrick should be dissected and checked, and detailed clarification will be discussed in a separate paper.
 Notes. This species is newly recorded in Thailand.

description: As observational datasets become larger and more complex, so too are the questions being asked of these data. Data simulations, i.e., synthetic data with properties (pixelization, noise, PSF, artifacts, etc.) akin to real data, are therefore increasingly required for several purposes, including: (1) testing complicated measurement methods, (2) comparing models and astrophysical simulations to observations in a manner that requires as few assumptions about the data as possible, (3) predicting observational results based on models and astrophysical simulations for, e.g., proposal planning, and (4) mitigating risk for future observatories and missions by effectively priming and testing pipelines. We advocate for an increase in using synthetic data to plan for and interpret real observations as a matter of routine. This will require funding for (1) facilities to provide robust data simulators for their instruments, telescopes, and surveys, and (2) making synthetic data publicly available in archives (much like real data) so as to lower the barrier of entry to all.

description: Protected areas can represent a strategic laboratory for the realisation of initiatives capable of promoting sustainable economic development models at a local level. One of the duties of national parks is to provide value and promote, even for tourism purposes, natural, historical and cultural resources subject to restrictions in the territory. This contribution describes the research process activated for the definition of a tourism development strategy in the youngest Italian national parks, the Appennino Lucano Val d'Agri Lagonegrese located in Basilicata. This is a protected area which has not yet been developed from a tourism point of view and it has an "eclectic" naturalist value characterised by flora on one hand and significant fauna on the other, as well as a subsoil rich in hydrocarbons (the largest deposit on continental Europe). In light of this typicality for the area, research favoured a participative type qualitative-quantitative approach, involving both local stakeholders, for exploration of the area's potential and definition of possible tourism development scenarios, and actual or potential users interested in the area, for assessment of the proposed alternatives. The information and data collected allowed, on one hand, the identification of major critical areas which currently make tourism in the area an activity that is still economically marginal with respect to the local structured economic system, and on the other hand, identification of some themes around which to build a competitive tourism product in line with market demands in observance of sustainability. Through a contingent assessment exercise it was possible to understand what the preferences are with respect to different hypotheses of the tourism offer in the area for current and potential tourists involved in the survey and, at the same time, to identify some elements to examine in order to improve attractiveness.
Higgs Phenomenon for 4-D Gravity in Anti de Sitter Space

description: We show that standard Einstein gravity coupled to a free conformal field theory (CFT) in Anti de Sitter space can undergo a Higgs phenomenon whereby the graviton acquires a nonzero mass (and three extra polarizations). We show that the essential ingredients of this mechanism are the discreteness of the energy spectrum in AdS space, and unusual boundary conditions on the elementary fields of the CFT. These boundary conditions can be interpreted as implying the existence of a 3-d defect CFT living at the boundary of the AdS space. Our free-field computation sheds light on the essential, model-independent features of AdS that give rise to massive gravity.

description: We study the use of frequency upconversion schemes of near-IR picosecond laser pulses and compare their ability to guide and trigger electric discharges through filamentation in air. Upconversion, such as Second Harmonic Generation, is favorable for triggering electric discharges for given amount of available laser energy, even taking into account the losses inherent to frequency conversion. We focus on the practical question of optimizing the use of energy from a given available laser system and the potential advantage to use frequency conversion schemes.
