description: In the present paper we consider the problem of description of an arbitrary generalized quantum measurement with outcomes in a measurable space. Analyzing the unitary invariants of a measuring process, we present the most general form of a possible integral representation of an instrument, which differs from the representations of an instrument available in the mathematical and physical literature. We introduce the notion of a quantum stochastic representation of an instrument, whose elements are wholly determined by the unitary invariants of a measuring process. We show that the description of a generalized direct quantum measurement can be considered in the frame of a new general approach, which we call the quantum stochastic approach (QSA), based on the notion of a family of quantum stochastic evolution operators, satisfying the orthonormality relation and describing the conditional evolution of a quantum system under a measurement. The QSA allows to give: a) the complete statistical description of any generalized direct quantum measurement (a POV measure and a family of posterior states); b) the complete description in a Hilbert space of the stochastic behaviour of a quantum system under a measurement in the sense of specification of the probabilistic transition law governing the change from the initial state of a quantum system to a final one under a single measurement; c) to formalize the consideration of all possible types of quantum measurements. For measurements continuous in time the QSA allows, in particular, to define in the most general case (without assuming any Markov property) the notion of posterior pure state trajectories (quantum trajectories) and to give their probabilistic treatment.

description: Abstract: Recent advances in Quantum Machine Learning (QML) have provided benefits to several computational processes, drastically reducing the time complexity. Another approach of combining quantum information theory with machine learning—without involving quantum computers—is known as Quantum-inspired Machine Learning (QiML), which exploits the expressive power of the quantum language to increase the accuracy of the process (rather than reducing the time complexity). In this work, we propose a large-scale experiment based on the application of a binary classifier inspired by quantum information theory to the biomedical imaging context in clonogenic assay evaluation to identify the most discriminative feature, allowing us to enhance cell colony segmentation. This innovative approach offers a two-fold result: (1) among the extracted and analyzed image features, homogeneity is shown to be a relevant feature in detecting challenging cell colonies; and (2) the proposed quantum-inspired classifier is a novel and outstanding methodology, compared to conventional machine learning classifiers, for the evaluation of clonogenic assays.

description: We have theoretically designed the half-metallic (HM) antiferromagnets (AFMs) in thiospinel systems, $\rm Mn(CrV)S_{4}$ and $\rm Fe_{0.5}Cu_{0.5}(V_{0.5}Ti_{1.5})S_{4}$, based on the electronic structure studies in the local-spin-density approximation (LSDA). We have also explored electronic and magnetic properties of parent spinel compounds of the above systems; $\rm CuV_{2}S_{4}$ and $\rm CuTi_{2}S_{4}$ are found to be HM ferromagnets in their cubic spinel structures, while $\rm MnCr_{2}S_{4}$ is a ferrimagnetic insulator. We have discussed the feasibility of material synthesis of HM-AFM thiospinel systems.

description: We propose a data-driven tracking model predictive control (MPC) scheme to control unknown discrete-time linear time-invariant systems. The scheme uses a purely data-driven system parametrization to predict future trajectories based on behavioral systems theory. The control objective is tracking of a given input-output setpoint. We prove that this setpoint is exponentially stable for the closed loop of the proposed MPC, if it is reachable by the system dynamics and constraints. For an unreachable setpoint, our scheme guarantees closed-loop exponential stability of the optimal reachable equilibrium. Moreover, in case the system dynamics are known, the presented results extend the existing results for model-based setpoint tracking to the case where the stage cost is only positive semidefinite in the state. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by means of a practical example.

description: Over the last decade, governments in eastern and southern Africa have become increasingly involved in grain marketing via strategic reserves and marketing boards. Kenya, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Zambia all have one or both of these entities, and their level of involvement in grain marketing has generally increased in recent years. Yet, to date, relatively little is known about how the resurgent activities of strategic grain reserves and marketing boards are affecting market prices. This paper estimates the effects of the Zambia Food Reserve Agency’s (FRA) activities on maize market prices in the country.

Conserved Currents and Superpotentials in Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity

description: We study the Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity (TEGR) with Lagrangian that includes the flat (inertial) spin connection and that is evidently invariant with respect to local Lorentz rotations. Applying directly the Noether theorem, we construct new expressions for conserved currents and related superpotentials. They are covariant both under coordinate transformations and local Lorentz rotations, and allow us to construct well defined conserved charges, unlike earlier approaches. The advantage is achieved by an explicit presence of a displacement vector in the new expressions that can be interpreted as a Killing vector, as a proper vector of an observer, etc. The new expressions are used to introduce a principle for definition of an inertial spin connection that is undetermined one in the TEGR from the start. Theoretical results are applied to calculate mass for the Schwarzschild black hole and densities of conserved quantities for freely falling observers both in Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker world of all the three signs of curvature and in (anti-)de Sitter space.

description: This paper documents the development of new land-use intensity and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions modules for the Land Use in Rural New Zealand (LURNZ) model. These modules translate simulated land-use outcomes into measures of rural economic activity and greenhouse gas emissions for dairy farming and sheep-beef farming. Emissions in LURNZ include those from livestock as well as from synthetic fertiliser use. We utilise the latest set of emission factors along with information on the distribution of rural activities to model GHG emissions in a spatially and temporally explicit manner. Our results at the national level are approximately consistent with New Zealand’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory.
Dipole-dipole interaction induced phases in Hydrogen-bonded squaric acid crystal

description: We study analytically the finite-temperature phase diagram of proton ordering of a quasi-two dimensional hydrogen-bonded system, namely the squaric acid crystal($\text{H}_2\text{C}_4\text{O}_4$). We take into account the four-spin interaction model at the zeroth order. Using an improvised loop algorithm within the Stochastic series expansion quantum monte carlo method, we find two distinct phases as we increase the temperature and magnetic-field. One of the phase is the $Π_f$, the phase with long range ferroelectric order and the other being an intermediate state with strong local correlations, i.e, a quantum liquid-like state $Π_{ql}$. The transition to $Π_{f}$ shows a very small anomalous peak in the specific heat with strong dependence of critical temperature on the strength of dipole-dipole interaction. The presence of the small peak is attributed to the absence of macroscopic degeneracy in the presence of dipole-dipole interaction and re-entrance of such degeneracy to some extent at small temperature. Though the degenerate ground state manifold is identical for a four-spin interaction or appropriate two-spin interaction model at zeroth order, we find that for the former case, the required strength of dipole-dipole interaction is quite larger to induce a ferroelectric phase. The work also presents an intricate connection of quantum fluctuation and thermal fluctuation in the presence of competing interaction with entropic effects.

description: Twenty spring wheat varieties were studied to find out genetic variability and genetic association for grain yield and its component characters. Both genotypic and phenotypic variances were highly significant in all the traits with little higher phenotypic variations as usual. Similarly, the low differences between the phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variations indicated low environmental influences on the expression of these characters. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance were obtained with plant height, grains per spike, 100-grain weight, harvest index and grain yield. Genotypic correlation coefficients were higher than the corresponding phenotypic correlation coefficients in most of the traits. Spikes per plant, grains per spike, spike length, 100-grain weight and harvest index were the most important characters which possessed positive association with grain yield. Path coefficient analysis revealed that among the different yield contributing characters spike per plant, grains per spike, 100-grain weight and harvest index influenced grain yield per plant directly. The direct effects of these characters on grain yield were positive and considerably high. Moreover, harvest index, days to maturity and spikes per plant had positive and higher indirect effect on grain yield through grains per spike. Thus selection for yield in spring wheat through these characters would be effective.
Quasi-local photon surfaces in general spherically symmetric spacetimes

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Based on the geometry of the codimension-2 surface in a general spherically symmetric spacetime, we give a quasi-local definition of a photon sphere as well as a photon surface. This new definition is the generalization of the one by Claudel, Virbhadra, and Ellis but without reference to any umbilical hypersurface in the spacetime. The new definition effectively rules out the photon surface which has noting to do with gravity. The application of the definition to the Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) model of gravitational collapse reduces to a problem of a second order differential equation. We find that the energy balance on the boundary of the dust ball can provide one appropriate boundary condition to this equation. Based on this key investigation, we find an analytic photon surface solution in the Oppenheimer-Snyder (OS) model and reasonable numerical solutions for the marginally bounded collapse in the LTB model. Interestingly, in the OS model, we find that the time difference between the occurrence of the photon surface and the event horizon is mainly determined by the total mass of the system but not the size or the strength of gravitational field of the system.

description: L’informatrice est âgée de 34 ans et elle est mère de deux enfants. Son dernier né est âgé de 3 semaines c‘est un bébé prématuré. Elle raconte le déroulement de sa grossesse et explique que c’est a partir de la 34 ème semaine de grossesse que l’informatrice à appris que son enfant devant être opéré à la naissance. Elle précise également que son enfant est né sous césarienne d‘urgence. La mère raconte qu’elle n’a pas pu voir son enfant directement après la naissance car il a été opéré tout de suite après la délivrance. Le véritable contact corporel avec l’enfant ne s’est fait que trois jour après la naissance. La mère se confie sur les difficultés liées à l’hospitalisation de son nouveau né : les attitudes, les moyens mis en place par le personnel soignant pour que les parents puissent s’occuper de leur enfant à l’hôpital. A cause de ces circonstances, l’informatrice n’a pas pu lui donner le sein à son enfant. En revanche elle explique qu’elle tire son lait pour que son enfant puisse le boire à l’hôpital, une action qu’elle avait précédemment expérimentée avec sa fille aîné. Elle énumère ensuite les aliments qu’elle évite pour ne pas donner des maux de ventres à son enfant et ceux qu’elle consomme pour favoriser la montée de lait (thé au cumin, à l’anis et au Fenouil). L’informatrice pense que le colostrum est fabriqué pendant la grossesse de manière différente du lait maternel, son colostrum est venu trois jours après la naissance de son enfant. Il était épais et de couleur jaunâtre mais elle n’a pas pu le donner à son enfant. L’informatrice précise avoir goûté à son lait maternel et l’a trouvé très doux. La durée de l’allaitement et l’allaitement en public sont évoqués. L’informatrice se confie sur la découverte et le déroulement de sa grossesse pour son deuxième enfant tout en comparant avec la grossesse de sa fille aînée. L’informatrice raconte également qu’elle s’est beaucoup renseignée sur l’allaitement compte tenu de l’hospitalisation de son fils. A la fin de l’enquête, l’informatrice évoque la situation de l’enfant prématuré, et se confie sur les rapports intimes durant la grossesse et la période d‘allaitement.

description: A continuum dynamical model is developed to determine the morphological and compositional instabilities on the free surface of heteroepitaxial alloy films in the absence of growth. We use linear stability analysis to study the early nonequilibrium processes of surface evolution, and calculate the stability conditions and diagrams for different cases of material parameters. There are two key considerations in our treatment: the coupling between top free surface of the film and the bulk phase underneath, and the dependence of both Young's and shear elastic moduli on local composition. The combination and interplay of different elastic effects caused by lattice misfit between film and substrate (misfit strain), composition dependence of film lattice parameter (compositional strain) and of film elastic constants lead to complicated and rich stability results, in particular the joint stability or instability for morphological and compositional profiles, the asymmetry between tensile and compressive layers, as well as the possible stabilization and suppression of surface decomposition even below the effective critical temperature. We also compare our results with the observations of some postdeposition annealing experiments.

description: Wheat rusts are the key biological constraint to wheat production in Ethiopia—one of Africa’s largest wheat producing countries. The fungal diseases cause economic losses and threaten livelihoods of smallholder farmers. While it is known that wheat rust epidemics have occurred in Ethiopia, to date no systematic long-term analysis of past outbreaks has been available. We present results from one of the most comprehensive surveillance campaigns of wheat rusts in Africa. More than 13,000 fields have been surveyed during the last 13 years. Using a combination of spatial data-analysis and visualization, statistical tools, and empirical modelling, we identify trends in the distribution of wheat stem rust (Sr), stripe rust (Yr) and leaf rust (Lr). Results show very high infection levels (mean incidence for Yr: 44%; Sr: 34%; Lr: 18%). These recurrent rust outbreaks lead to substantial economic losses, which we estimate to be of the order of 10s of millions of US-D annually. On the widely adopted wheat variety, Digalu, there is a marked increase in disease prevalence following the incursion of new rust races into Ethiopia, which indicates a pronounced boom-and-bust cycle of major gene resistance. Using spatial analyses, we identify hotspots of disease risk for all three rusts, show a linear correlation between altitude and disease prevalence, and find a pronounced north-south trend in stem rust prevalence. Temporal analyses show a sigmoidal increase in disease levels during the wheat season and strong inter-annual variations. While a simple logistic curve performs satisfactorily in predicting stem rust in some years, it cannot account for the complex outbreak patterns in other years and fails to predict the occurrence of stripe and leaf rust. The empirical insights into wheat rust epidemiology in Ethiopia presented here provide a basis for improving future surveillance and to inform the development of mechanistic models to predict disease spread.

description: Measuring Compton scattered photons and recoil neutrons in coincidence, quasi-free Compton scattering by the neutron has been investigated at MAMI (Mainz) at $theta^{lab}_γ=136^o$ in an energy range from 200 to 400 MeV. From the data a polarizability difference of $α_n - β_n = 9.8 \pm 3.6(stat)^{+2.1}_{-1.1}(syst)\pm 2.2(model)$ in units of $10^{-4}fm^3$ has been determined. In combination with the polarizability sum $α_n+β_n= 15.2\pm 0.5$ deduced from photo absorption data, the neutron electric and magnetic polarizabilities, $α_n=12.5\pm 1.8(stat)^{+1.1}_{-0.6}(syst)\pm 1.1(model)$ and $β_n = 2.7\mp 1.8(stat)^{+0.6}_{-1.1}(syst)\mp 1.1(model)$, are obtained.

description: An experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during July to December 2006 to study the root growth of four Transplant Aman rice varieties as influenced by NPKS fertilization. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications. The experiment consisted of four varieties viz. BRRI dhan30, BRRI dhan31, BRRI dhan40 and BRRI dhan41; and four levels of fertilizers viz. 0, 50%, 100% and 150% of the recommended dose of NPKS. BRRI dhan41 had better performance in all root parameters. All root parameters except number of roots hill-1 performed better at high level of fertilizer. The interaction effect between variety and fertilizer level was significant in respect of number of roots hill-1, fresh weight of root (except at 30 days after transplanting (DAT) and 90 DAT), dry weight of root, fresh weight of above ground plant part (except at 30 DAT and 90 DAT) and dry weight of above ground plant part (except at 90 DAT).

description: We present a study of six far-infrared fine structure lines in the z=4.225 lensed dusty star-forming galaxy SPT0418-47 to probe the physical conditions of its InterStellar Medium (ISM). In particular, we report Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) detections of the [OI]145um and [OIII]88um lines and Atacama Compact Array (ACA) detections of the [NII]122 and 205um lines. The [OI]145um / [CII]158um line ratio is ~5x higher compared to the average of local galaxies. We interpret this as evidence that the ISM is dominated by photo-dissociation regions with high gas densities. The line ratios, and in particular those of [OIII]88um and [NII]122um imply that the ISM in SPT0418-47 is already chemically enriched close to solar metallicity. While the strong gravitational amplification was required to detect these lines with APEX, larger samples can be observed with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), and should allow to determine if the observed dense, solar metallicity ISM is common among these highly star-forming galaxies.

description: The large majority of extragalactic star cluster studies done to date have essentially used two or three-passband aperture photometry, combined with theoretical stellar population synthesis models, to obtain age estimates. The accuracy to which this can be done depends on the number of observations through different (broad-band) filters available as well as, crucially, on the actual wavelength range covered. I show, based on the examples of the nearby starburst galaxies NGC 3310 and M82, that the addition of, in particular, near-infrared passbands to a set of optical filters greatly enhances our ability to disentangle age, metallicity and extinction parameters for star clusters with ages younger than a few Gyr. In addition, for the intermediate-age star cluster system in the fossil starburst region of M82 we find (i) a well-defined burst of cluster formation at slightly older ages than derived from previous estimates based on optical fluxes alone, and (ii) that by considering ONLY the clusters originating in this burst of cluster formation, we uncover the first conclusive observational evidence for an unambiguous turn-over in the luminosity function of a coeval star cluster system with an age as young as ~1 Gyr.

description: An experiment was carried out to study the effect of variety and planting density on the yield of mungbean in Kharif-I season (February to June) of 2003. The experiment comprised five varieties viz. BARIMung-2, BARIMung-3, BARIMung-4, BARIMung-5 and BINAMung-2 and three spacing of planting viz. 30 cm × 10 cm, 20 cm × 20 cm and 40 cm × 30 cm. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. It was observed that BARIMung-2 produced the highest seed yield and BINAMung-2 did the lowest. Plant spacing of 30 cm × 10 cm produced the highest seed yield of mungbean while 40 cm × 30 cm spacing produced the lowest seed yield. BARIMung-2 planted at a spacing of 30 cm × 10 cm gave the maximum seed yield.

description: Five varieties of diseased onion samples, four local (Taherpuri, Faridpuri, Kalashnagari, and Zitka) and one Indian (Pusa Red) were collected from different markets of Mymensingh, to isolate and identify the associated fungi. Five different fungal species belonging to three genera were repeatedly isolated. Healthy looking and diseased onions were kept at room temperature. The population of associated fungi increased proportionately with the duration of storage period. The isolated fungi were Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium spp., Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium moniliforme. Healthy onion bulbs were inoculated (with injury and without injury) with these fungi. Individual fungi produced distinguishable symptom of disease in incubation chamber at 22-23ºC temperature. After 30 days of inoculation, bulbs showed comparatively low amount of disease development than those at 60 and 90 days. Maximum disease development was found in the variety Pusa Red (with injury) and it was minimum in Zitka variety (without injury).

description: We used {\sl \textup{ab initio}} molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the high-pressure melting temperatures of the three potential core components. The planetary adiabats were obtained by solving the hydrostatic equations in a three-layer model adjusted to reproduce the measured gravitational moments. Recently developed {\sl \textup{ab initio}} equations of state were used for the envelope and the core. We find that the cores of the giant and ice-giant planets of the solar system differ because the pressure-temperature conditions encountered in each object correspond to different regions of the phase diagrams. For Jupiter and Saturn, the results are compatible with a diffuse core and mixing of a significant fraction of metallic elements in the envelope, leading to a convective and/or a double-diffusion regime. We also find that their solid cores vary in nature and size throughout the lifetimes of these planets. The solid cores of the two giant planets are not primordial and nucleate and grow as the planets cool. We estimate that the solid core of Jupiter is 3 Gyr old and that of Saturn is 1.5 Gyr old. The situation is less extreme for Uranus and Neptune, whose cores are only partially melted. To model Jupiter, the time evolution of the interior structure of the giant planets and exoplanets in general, their luminosity, and the evolution of the tidal effects over their lifetimes, the core should be considered as crystallizing and growing rather than gradually mixing into the envelope due to the solubility of its components.

description: Top soils of four different series viz Jaonia (Typic Haplaquept), Halti (Typic Haplaquept), Taras (Aeric Haplaquept) and Digli (Typic Haplaquept) developed on Atrai river alluvium were studied to investigate the clay mineralogical composition. X-ray diffraction technique was employed to identify and quantify the minerals. The XRD patterns were obtained with Ni-filter Cu kα - radiation at a scanning speed of 2º2θ min and the amount of minerals was estimated by XRD peak intensities at parallel powder mount. Mica was the dominant clay mineral (33 - 51%) in all soils, followed by quartz (13 -19%). The kaolinite contents were small (8 - 10%) over the soils. The occurrence of vermiculite in the Digli and Taras soils (9 and 7% respectively) indicates a considerable transformation of mica. There is very little or no smectite minerals in the soils which might be due to poor parent material and disappearance of smectite from the top soils. Appreciable amount of primary minerals like quartz and feldspars have also been observed in the clay fraction of the soils.

description: The mechanisms of stability or instability in the strained alloy film growth are of intense current interest to both theorists and experimentalists. We consider dislocation-free, coherent, growing alloy films which could exhibit a morphological instability without nucleation. We investigate such strained films by developing a nonequilibrium, continuum model and by performing a linear stability analysis. The couplings of film-substrate misfit strain, compositional stress, deposition rate, and growth temperature determine the stability of film morphology as well as the surface spinodal decomposition. We consider some realistic factors of epitaxial growth, in particular the composition dependence of elastic moduli and the coupling between top surface and underlying bulk of the film. The interplay of these factors leads to new stability results. In addition to the stability diagrams both above and below the coherent spinodal temperature, we also calculate the kinetic critical thickness for the onset of instability as well as its scaling behavior with respect to misfit strain and deposition rate. We apply our results to some real growth systems and discuss the implications related to some recent experimental observations.

description: In this work we present a method to build in a systematic way a many-body quon basis state. In particular, we show a closed expression for a given number N of quons, restricted to the permutational symmetric subspace, which belongs to the whole quonic space. The method is applied to two simple problems: the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator and the rotor model and compared to previous quantum algebra results. The differences obtained and possible future applications are also discussed.

description: Abstract: Human visual cortex contains discrete areas that respond selectively to specific object categories such as faces, bodies, and places. A long-standing question is whether these areas are shaped by genetic or environmental factors. To address this question, here we analyzed functional MRI data from an unprecedented number (n = 424) of monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins. Category-selective maps were more identical in MZ than DZ twins. Within each category-selective area, distinct subregions showed significant genetic influence. Structural MRI analysis revealed that the ‘genetic voxels’ were predominantly located in regions with higher cortical curvature (gyral crowns in face areas and sulcal fundi in place areas). Moreover, we found that cortex was thicker and more myelinated in genetic voxels of face areas, while it was thinner and less myelinated in genetic voxels of place areas. This double dissociation suggests a differential development of face and place areas in cerebral cortex.
