description: The smuggling of special nuclear materials (SNMs) across national borders is becoming a serious threat to nuclear nonproliferation. This paper presents a feasibility study on the rapid interrogation of concealed SNMs by combining scattering and transmission nuclear resonance fluorescence (sNRF and tNRF) spectroscopy. In sNRF spectroscopy, SNMs such as $^{235, 238}$U are excited by a wide-band photon beam of appropriate energy and exhibit unique NRF signatures. Monte Carlo simulations show that one-dimensional scans can realize isotopic identification of concealed $^{235, 238}$U when the detector array used for interrogation has sufficiently high energy resolution. The simulated isotopic ratio $^{235}U/^{238}U$ is in good agreement with the theoretical value when the SNMs are enclosed in relatively thin iron. This interrogation is followed by tNRF spectroscopy using a narrow-band photon beam with the goal of obtaining tomographic images of the concealed SNMs. The reconstructed image clearly reveals the position of the isotope $^{235}$U inside an iron rod. It is shown that the interrogation time of sNRF and tNRF spectroscopy is one order of magnitude lower than that when only tNRF spectroscopy is used and results in a missed-detection rate of 10$^{-3}$. The proposed method can also be applied for isotopic imaging of other SNMs such as $^{239, 240}$Pu and $^{237}$Np.

description: The restaurant industry continues to change as Online Food Delivery apps (OFD) continue to gain more popularity because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The food delivery market has grown over 52% since the start of the pandemic. Online food delivery app platforms like DoorDash, UberEats, and Postmates began to offer delivery over the past decade, rapidly growing with the help of ghost kitchens. Consumer behavior factors and intention to use OFDs have changed as more advanced app technology becomes available, and as the restaurant industry navigates the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Many consumers favor mobile delivery apps overall convenience and perceived usefulness. OFDs offered convenience and added safety precautions like contactless delivery during the pandemic when the fear of the virus was high, increasing the necessity to use these apps from consumers. This paper aims to examine how online food delivery apps have gained popularity in recent years, and how consumer behavior factors and intention to use these apps have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: The storage conditions are of extreme importance with regards to grains (cereal & pulses) components (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins) preservation and quality for industry (that may interfere to whole process and quality of the final product). In addition, the vegetarian consumers’ interest of protein supplement (capsules) from pulses such as beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.), lentils (Lens culinaris L.), peas (Pisum sativum L.), peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.), also soybeans (Glycine max L.) has grown considerably, mainly due to their non-lactose&non-animal-based ingredients and also non-transgenic in some of the pulses. Therefore, there is a need of information regarding pulses storage conditions on their components’ quality/quantity and so for safety of the raw material utilized for protein extract purposes. In addition, to get safe pulses raw materials for protein extraction aimed for vegetarian supplements, one needs to take into account
(a) quite controlled storage conditions, apart from
(b) pesticide residues and mycotoxins contamination control.
Therefore, the present reviewgathers and compiles the characterization of six different pulses by evaluating amino acids profile as indicators of protein quality, and compares them with different varieties for further protein extraction.

description: Objects that move in response to the actions of a main character often make an important contribution to the visual richness of an animated scene. We use the term "secondary motion" to refer to passive motions generated in response to the movements of characters and other objects or environmental forces. Secondary motions aren't normally the mail focus of an animated scene, yet their absence can distract or disturb the viewer, destroying the illusion of reality created by the scene. We describe how to generate secondary motion by coupling physically based simulations of passive objects to actively controlled characters.

description: A measurement of differential cross sections for the production of a pair of isolated photons in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns collected with the CMS detector. A data-driven isolation template method is used to extract the prompt diphoton yield. The measured cross section for two isolated photons, with transverse energy above 40 and 25 GeV respectively, in the pseudorapidity range abs(eta) < 2.5, abs(eta) not in [1.44,1.57] and with an angular separation Delta R > 0.45, is 17.2 +/- 0.2 (stat.) +/- 1.9 (syst.) +/- 0.4 (lum.) pb. Differential cross sections are measured as a function of the diphoton invariant mass, the diphoton transverse momentum, the azimuthal angle difference between the two photons, and the cosine of the polar angle in the Collins-Soper reference frame of the diphoton system. The results are compared to theoretical predictions at leading, next-to-leading, and next-to-next-to-leading order in quantum chromodynamics.

description: We investigate the escape dynamics of the doubling map with a time-periodic hole. We use Ulam's method to calculate the escape rate as a function of the control parameters. We consider two cases, oscillating or breathing holes, where the sides of the hole are moving in or out of phase respectively. We find out that the escape rate is well described by the overlap of the hole with its images, for holes centred at periodic orbits.

description: We revisit, scrutinize, improve, confirm and complete our previous results [1-3] from the scalar di-gluonium sum rules within the standard SVZ-expansion at N2LO without instantons and beyond the minimal duality ansatz : "one resonance + QCD continuum" parametrization of the spectral function which is necessary for a better understanding of the complex spectra of the $I=0$ scalar mesons. We select different (un)subtracted sum rules (USR) moments of degree $\leq$ 4 for extracting the two lowest gluonia masses and couplings. We obtain: $[M_{σ_B},f_{σ_B}]=[1.07(13),0.46(16)],~[M_{G_1},f_{G_1}][1.55(12),0.37(11)]$ GeV and the corresponding masses of the radial excitations : $M_{σ'_B}$= 1.11(12) and $M_{G'_1}=1.56(14)$ GeV which are (unexpectedly) almost degenerated with the ground states. The 2nd radial excitation is found to have a much heavier mass: $M_{G_2}\simeq$ 2.99(22) GeV. Combining these results with some Low-Energy Vertex Sum Rules (LEV-SR), we predict some hadronic widths and classify them into two groups : -- The $σ$-like ($σ_B,σ'_B$) which decay copiously to $ππ$ from OZI-violating process and the $σ'_B$ to $2(ππ)S$ through $σσ$. -- The $G$-like $(G_1,~G'_1$ and eventually $G_2$) which decay into $η'η, ~ηη$ through the $U(1)_A$ gluonic vertex. Besides some eventual mixings with quarkonia states, we may expect that the observed $σ/f_0(500)$ and $f_0(137)$ are $σ$-like while the $f_0(1.5)$ and $f_0(1.7)$ are $G$-like gluonia. The high mass $G_2(2.99)$ can also mix with the $G_1,~G'_1$ to bring the gluon component of the gluonia candidates above 2 GeV. We also estimate the conformal charge $ψ_G(0)=2.09(29)$ GeV$^4$ and its slope $10^2ψ'_G(0)=-22(29)$ GeV$^2$. Our results are summarized in Table 1.

description: Uncertainty assessment has gained rapid interest in medical image analysis. A popular technique to compute epistemic uncertainty is the Monte-Carlo (MC) dropout technique. From a network with MC dropout and a single input, multiple outputs can be sampled. Various methods can be used to obtain epistemic uncertainty maps from those multiple outputs. In the case of multi-class segmentation, the number of methods is even larger as epistemic uncertainty can be computed voxelwise per class or voxelwise per image. This paper highlights a systematic approach to define and quantitatively compare those methods in two different contexts: class-specific epistemic uncertainty maps (one value per image, voxel and class) and combined epistemic uncertainty maps (one value per image and voxel). We applied this quantitative analysis to a multi-class segmentation of the carotid artery lumen and vessel wall, on a multi-center, multi-scanner, multi-sequence dataset of (MR) images. We validated our analysis over 144 sets of hyperparameters of a model. Our main analysis considers the relationship between the order of the voxels sorted according to their epistemic uncertainty values and the misclassification of the prediction. Under this consideration, the comparison of combined uncertainty maps reveals that the multi-class entropy and the multi-class mutual information statistically out-perform the other combined uncertainty maps under study. In a class-specific scenario, the one-versus-all entropy statistically out-performs the class-wise entropy, the class-wise variance and the one versus all mutual information. The class-wise entropy statistically out-performs the other class-specific uncertainty maps in terms of calibration. We made a python package available to reproduce our analysis on different data and tasks.

description: Many-body systems of identical arbitrary-spin particles, with separable spin and spatial degrees of freedom, are considered. Their eigenstates can be classified by Young diagrams, corresponding to non-trivial permutation symmetries (beyond the conventional paradigm of symmetric--antisymmetric states). The present work obtains (a) selection rules for additional non-separable (dependent on spins and coordinates) $k$-body interactions: the Young diagrams, associated with the initial and the final states of a transition, can differ by relocation of no more than $k$ boxes between their rows; and (b) correlation rules: eigenstate-averaged local correlations of $k$ particles vanish if $k$ exceeds the number of columns (for bosons) or rows (for fermions) in the associated Young diagram. It also elucidates the physical meaning of the quantities conserved due to permutation symmetry --- in 1929, Dirac identified those with characters of the symmetric group --- relating them to experimentally observable correlations of several particles. The results provide a way to control the formation of entangled states belonging to multidimensional non-Abelian representations of the symmetric group. These states can find applications in quantum computation and metrology.

description: In this article we study impact of the lightest vector and scalar resonance multiplets in the pion and kaon decay constants up to next-to-leading order in the $1/N_C$ expansion, i.e., up to the one-loop level. The $F_π$ and $F_K$ predictions obtained within the framework of Resonance Chiral Theory are confronted with lattice simulation data. The vector loops (and the $ρ-ππ$ coupling $G_V$ in particular) are found to play a crucial role in the determination of the Chiral Perturbation Theory couplings $L_4$ and $L_5$ at next-to-leading order in $1/N_C$. Puzzling, values of $G_V < 40$ MeV seem to be necessary to agree with current phenomenological results for $L_4$ and $L_5$. Conversely, a value of $G_V > 60$ MeV compatible with standard $ρ-ππ$ determinations turns these chiral couplings negative. However, in spite of the strong anti-correlation with $L_4$, the $SU(3)$ chiral coupling $F_0$ remains stable all the time and stays within the range $78 \sim 86$ MeV when $G_V$ is varied in a wide range, from $40$ up to $70$ MeV. Finally, we would like to remark that the leading order expressions used in this article for the $η-η'$ mixing, mass splitting of the vector multiplet masses and the quark mass dependence of the $ρ(770)$ mass are found in reasonable agreement with the lattice data.

description: The acute shortage of manpower in hospitality workforce has been a persistent problem in Singapore throughout these years which adversely affects both the managerial and lower-skilled occupational groups of employees. The pandemic has further accelerated human resource issues across the country in 2020. It particularly hits the hospitality industry hard since hotel businesses are highly human-centric and the unprecedented world event has adversely resulted in severe manpower leakages and a dilution of talent pool. This paper will analyze the reasons, severity and impact of the manpower shortage within the hospitality industry in Singapore, focusing on service quality. Lastly, the author will provide recommendations based on exploratory research to mitigate the labor shortage issue. These recommendations include working with external agencies to equip their organizations with qualified and skilled workers, creating career paths and cross-trainings to retain talents, making training program mandatory, devising job re- creation to assist mature workers, and creating meaningful jobs to retain employees by increasing their satisfaction towards their jobs in the long run.

description: This work deals with the investigation of bifurcating fluid phenomena using a reduced order modelling setting aided by artificial neural networks. We discuss the POD-NN approach dealing with non-smooth solutions set of nonlinear parametrized PDEs. Thus, we study the Navier-Stokes equations describing: (i) the Coanda effect in a channel, and (ii) the lid driven triangular cavity flow, in a physical/geometrical multi-parametrized setting, considering the effects of the domain's configuration on the position of the bifurcation points. Finally, we propose a reduced manifold-based bifurcation diagram for a non-intrusive recovery of the critical points evolution. Exploiting such detection tool, we are able to efficiently obtain information about the pattern flow behaviour, from symmetry breaking profiles to attaching/spreading vortices, even at high Reynolds numbers.

description: The booklouse, Liposcelis bostrychophila is an important stored pest worldwide. The mt genome of an asexual strain (Beibei, China) of the booklouse, L. bostrychophila, comprises two chromosomes; each chromosome contains approximate half of the 37 genes typically found in animals. The mt genomes of two sexual strains of L. bostrychophila, however, comprise five and seven chromosomes respectively; each chromosome contains one to six genes. To understand mt genome evolution in L. bostrychophila, we sequenced the mt genomes of six strains of asexual L. bostrychophila collected from different locations in China, Croatia and USA. The mt genomes of all of the six asexual strains of L. bostrychophila collected in China, Croatia and USA have two chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis of mt genome sequences divided nine strains of L. bostrychophila into four groups. Each group has a distinct mt genome organization and substantial sequence divergence (48.7-87.4%) from other groups. Furthermore, the seven asexual strains of L. bostrychophila including the published Beibei strain are more closely related to two other species of booklice, L. paeta and L. sculptilis, than to the sexual strains of L. bostrychophila. Our results revealed highly divergent mt genomes in the booklouse, L. bostrychophila, and indicated that L. bostrychophila is a cryptic species.

description: We study torsion-free, rank 2 Higgs sheaves on genus one fibered surfaces, (semi)stable with respect to suitable polarizations in the sense of Friedman and O'Grady. We prove that slope-semistability of a Higgs sheaf on the surface implies semistability on the generic fiber. In the case of Higgs sheaves of odd fiber degree on elliptic surfaces in characteristic $\neq 2$, we prove that any moduli space of Higgs sheaves with fixed numerical invariants splits canonically as the product of the moduli space of ordinary sheaves (with the same invariants), and the space of global regular $1$-forms on the surface. For elliptic surfaces with section in characteristic zero, and in the case arbitrary fiber degree, we prove that if a Higgs sheaf has reduced Friedman spectral curve, or is regular on a general fiber with non-reduced spectral cover, then its Higgs field takes values in the saturation of the pull-back of the canonical bundle of the base curve in the cotangent bundle of the surface.

description: A hadronic rescattering model with the proper hadronization time width as the free parameter is compared with charged pion and charged and neutral kaon femtoscopy measurements from the LHC ALICE experiment for sqrt{s}=7 TeV proton-proton collisions. Comparisons between the model and measurements are made for one-dimensional source parameters in several charged multiplicity and transverse particle pair momentum bins. It is found that a reasonable description of the measured source parameters by the model is obtained for a hadronization proper time width of 0.4 +- 0.1 fm/c, which is in agreement with an estimate based on the uncertainty principle. The model calculations also suggest that 1) some form of collectivity is necessary to describe the multiplicity dependence of the measured radius parameters, and 2) the underlying physical size and timescale of the collision is significantly larger than what the extracted radius parameters and hadronization proper time width would imply.

Automated Body Condition Scoring: Progression Across Lactation and its Association with Disease and Reproduction in Dairy Cattle
Creators: name: Truman, Carissa Marie
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Abstract:
Body condition scoring is a technique used to noninvasively assess fat reserves. It provides an objective estimate to describe the current and past nutritional status of the dairy cow and has been associated with increased disease risk and breeding success. Traditionally body condition scores are taken manually by visual appraisal on a 1 to 5 scale, in one-quarter increments. However, recent studies have shown the potential of automating the body condition scoring of cows using images. The first objective was to estimate the likelihood of disease development and breeding success, using odds ratios, associated with body condition score scored automatically at various points in lactation. The second objective of our research was to use a commercially available automated body condition scoring camera system to monitor body condition across the lactation period to evaluate differences between stratified parameters and to develop an equation to predict the dynamics of the body condition score. We found that poor body condition score at different times during the transition period are associated with increased disease occurrence and lower reproductive success. Automated body condition scoring (ABCS) curve during lactation was influenced by many factors, such as parity, ABCS at time of calving, disease occurrence, and milk production.

description: Using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT), we obtained high-time-resolution measurements of the full (linear and circular) polarization of the Crab pulsar. Taken at a resolution of 1/8192 of the 34-ms pulse period (i.e., $4.1~μ{\rm s}$), the 1.38-GHz linear-polarization measurements are in general agreement with previous lower-time-resolution 1.4-GHz measurements of linear polarization in the main pulse (MP), in the interpulse (IP), and in the low-frequency component (LFC). We find the MP and IP to be linearly polarized at about $24\%$ and $21\%$, with no discernible difference in polarization position angle. However, and contrary to theoretical expectations and measurements in the visible, we find no evidence for significant variation (sweep) in polarization position angle over the MP, the IP, or the LFC. Although, the main pulse exhibits a small but statistically significant quadratic variation in the degree of linear polarization. We discuss the implications which appear to be in contradiction to theoretical expectations. In addition, we detect weak circular polarization in the main pulse and interpulse, and strong ($\approx 20\%$) circular polarization in the low-frequency component, which also exhibits very strong ($\approx 98\%$) linear polarization at a position angle about $40\degree$ from that of the MP or IP. The pulse-mean polarization properties are consistent with the LFC being a low-altitude component and the MP and IP being high-altitude caustic components. Nevertheless, current models for the MP and IP emission do not readily account for the observed absence of pronounced polarization changes across the pulse. Finally, we measure IP and LFC pulse phases relative to the MP that are consistent with recent measurements, which have shown that the phases of these pulse components are evolving with time.

description: Numerical stabilization is often used to eliminate (alleviate) the spurious oscillations generally produced by full order models (FOMs) in under-resolved or marginally-resolved simulations of convection-dominated flows. In this paper we investigate the role of numerical stabilization in reduced order models (ROMs) of convection-dominated, marginally-resolved flows. Specifically, we investigate the FOM-ROM consistency, i.e., whether the numerical stabilization is beneficial both at the FOM and the ROM level. As a numerical stabilization strategy, we focus on the evolve-filter-relax (EFR) regularization algorithm, which centers around spatial filtering. To investigate the FOM-ROM consistency, we consider two ROM strategies: (i) the EFR-ROM, in which the EFR stabilization is used at the FOM level, but not at the ROM level; and (ii) the EFR-EFRROM, in which the EFR stabilization is used both at the FOM and at the ROM level. We compare the EFR-ROM with the EFR-EFRROM in the numerical simulation of a 2D flow past a circular cylinder in the convection-dominated, marginally-resolved regime. We also perform model reduction with respect to both time and Reynolds number. Our numerical investigation shows that the EFR-EFRROM is more accurate than the EFR-ROM, which suggests that FOM-ROM consistency is beneficial in convection-dominated, marginally-resolved flows.

description: We propose a superradiant metrology technique to achieve the Heisenberg limit super-resolving displacement measurement by encoding multiple light momenta into a three-level atomic ensemble. We use $2N$ coherent pulses to prepare a single excitation superradiant state in a superposition of two timed Dicke states that are $4N$ light momenta apart in momentum space. The phase difference between these two states induced by a uniform displacement of the atomic ensemble has $1/4N$ sensitivity. Experiments are proposed in crystals and in ultracold atoms.
An Intensional Concurrent Faithful Encoding of Turing Machines

description: The benchmark for computation is typically given as Turing computability; the ability for a computation to be performed by a Turing Machine. Many languages exploit (indirect) encodings of Turing Machines to demonstrate their ability to support arbitrary computation. However, these encodings are usually by simulating the entire Turing Machine within the language, or by encoding a language that does an encoding or simulation itself. This second category is typical for process calculi that show an encoding of lambda-calculus (often with restrictions) that in turn simulates a Turing Machine. Such approaches lead to indirect encodings of Turing Machines that are complex, unclear, and only weakly equivalent after computation. This paper presents an approach to encoding Turing Machines into intensional process calculi that is faithful, reduction preserving, and structurally equivalent. The encoding is demonstrated in a simple asymmetric concurrent pattern calculus before generalised to simplify infinite terms, and to show encodings into Concurrent Pattern Calculus and Psi Calculi.

description: Maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) is an important insect that affect the maize grain on the field and in storage. There are several ways of controlling this insect but the most commonly used is the use of chemicals. Although these chemicals are very effective, they are often expensive and not available to poor rural farmers resulting in high post-harvest losses of their harvested grains. In this study, the potential of using rice husk ash (RHA) as a protectant against maize weevil during storage was investigated. Cultured maize weevils were introduced into 400g of maize admixed with RHA at concentrations of 5g, 10g and 20g. A control set-up of both Actellic 50EC and no RHA was set-up to compare the effect of the ash treatments on weevil mortality, re-emergence and grain damage. The treatments were replicated and set-up in the lab at room temperature condition. Results showed that, 100% mortality was observed for the Actellic 50EC treatment 5days after application. However, there was no significant difference (p>0.01) after 60 days of storage between the 20g RHA application and the Actellic 50EC relative to weevil mortality, emergence and grain damage. With the 20g RHA admixture recording the highest mortality and suppression effect on adult weevil emergence as well as the lowest grain damage, the use of RHA can provide a significant economic advantage to farmers for storage of maize in tropical developing countries if reliable recommendations on application rate can be made for the protection of stored maize.

description: This work presents the radiation performance of open-ended circular-waveguide probe antennas that have been miniaturized by the introduction of thin metamaterial liners. The liners introduce an HE$_{11}$ mode well below the natural cutoff frequency, which provides substantial gain improvements over a similarly sized waveguide probe. A new feeding arrangement employing a shielded-loop source embedded inside the miniaturized waveguide is developed to efficiently excite the HE$_{11}$ mode and avoid the excitation of other modes across the frequency reduced band while maintaining the antenna's compactness. A metamaterial-lined circular-waveguide probe antenna operating over 42% below its natural cutoff frequency is designed to provide a radiation efficiency of up to 28.8%. A simple, printed-circuit implementation of the metamaterial liner based on inductively loaded wires is proposed and its dispersion features are discussed.

description: We consider the scattering of acoustic perturbations in a presence of a flow. We suppose that the space can be split into a zone where the flow is uniform and a zone where the flow is potential. In the first zone, we apply a Prandtl-Glauert transformation to recover the Helmholtz equation. The well-known setting of boundary element method for the Helmholtz equation is available. In the second zone, the flow quantities are space dependent, we have to consider a local resolution, namely the finite element method. Herein, we carry out the coupling of these two methods and present various applications and validation test cases. The source term is given through the decomposition of an incident acoustic field on a section of the computational domain's boundary.

description: We investigate the formation of photonic bound states in the continuum (BICs) in photonic crystal slabs from an analytical perspective. Unlike the stationary at-$Γ$ BICs which origin from the geometric symmetry, the tunable off-$Γ$ BICs are due to the weighted destructive via-the-continuum interference in the vicinity of accidental symmetry when the majority of the radiation is pre-canceled. The symmetric compatible nature of the off-$Γ$ BICs leads to a trapping of light that can be tuned through continuously varying the wavevector. With the analytical approach, we explain a reported experiment and predict the existence of a new BIC at an unrevealed symmetry.

description: We consider two non-mean-field models of structural glasses built on a hierarchical lattice. First, we consider a hierarchical version of the random energy model (HREM), and we prove the existence of the thermodynamic limit and self-averaging of the free energy. Furthermore, we prove that the infinite-volume entropy is positive in a high-temperature region bounded from below, thus providing an upper bound on the Kauzmann critical temperature. In addition, we show how to improve this bound by leveraging the hierarchical structure of the model. Finally, we introduce a hierarchical version of the $p$-spin model of a structural glass, and we prove the existence of the thermodynamic limit and self-averaging of the free energy.

description: The $p p \to n K^+ Σ^+(1385)$ reaction is a very good isospin $3/2$ filter for studying $Δ^{++*}$ resonance decaying to $K^+Σ^+(1385)$. Within the effective Lagrangian method, we investigate the $Σ(1385)$ (spin-parity $J^P = 3/2^+$) hadronic production in the $π^+ p \to K^+ Σ^+(1385)$ and $p p \to n K^+ Σ^+(1385)$ reactions. For $π^+ p \to K^+ Σ^+(1385)$ reaction, in addition to the "background" contributions from $t$-channel $K^{*0}$ exchange, $u$-channel $Λ(1115)$ and $Σ^0(1193)$ exchange, we also consider the contribution from the $s$-channel $Δ^*(1940)$ resonance, which has significant coupling to $KΣ(1385)$ channel. We show that the inclusion of the $Δ^*(1940)$ resonance leads to a fairly good description of the low energy experimental total cross section data of $π^+ p \to K^+ Σ^+(1385)$ reaction. Basing on the study of $π^+ p \to K^+Σ^+(1385)$ reaction and with the assumption that the excitation of $Δ^*(1940)$ resonance dominant the $pp \to n K^+ Σ^+(1385)$ reaction, we calculate the total and differential cross sections of $p p \to n K^+ Σ^+(1385)$ reaction. It is shown that the new experimental data support the important role played by the $Δ^*(1940)$ resonance with a mass in the region of $1940$ MeV and a width of around $200$ MeV. We also demonstrate that the invariant mass distribution and the Dalitz Plot provide direct information of the $Σ^+(1385)$ production, which can be tested by future experiments.
