description: It is shown that the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger theorem can be generalized to the case with only two entangled particles. The reasoning makes use of two photons which are maximally entangled both in polarization and in spatial degrees of freedom. In contrast to Cabello's argument of "all versus nothing" nonlocality with four photons [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 010403 (2001)], our proposal to test the theorem can be implemented with linear optics and thus is well within the reach of current experimental technology.

description: We report the observation on UT 2017.07.01 of an unusually powerful flare detected in near-infrared continuum photometry of Proxima Centauri. During a campaign monitoring the star for possible exoplanet transits, we identified an increase in Sloan i' flux leading to an observed peak at BJD 2457935.996 that was at least 10\% over pre-flare flux in this band. It was followed by a 2-component rapid decline in the first 100 seconds that became a slower exponential decay with time constant of 1350 seconds. A smaller flare event 1300 seconds after the first added an incremental peak flux increase of 1% of pre-flare flux. Since the onset of the flare was not fully time-resolved at a cadence of 62 seconds, its actual peak value is unknown but greater than the time-average over a single exposure of 20 seconds. The i' band is representative of broad optical and near-IR continuum flux over which the integrated energy of the flare is 100 times the stellar luminosity. This meets the criteria that established the concept of superflares on similar stars. The resulting implied ultraviolet flux and space weather could have had an extreme effect on the atmospheres of planets within the star's otherwise-habitable zone.

description: This study examines ethnicity and recruitment in the civil service in Rivers state with a view to determining its prospects and challenges. This is because in Nigerian industrial organizations, ethnic sentiments have overtaken genuine sense of commitment and direction in the recruitment of workforce. Recruitment policy of the civil service hinges on merit principles for thorough fairness. Thus, with the merit concept in view, the efficiency of public bureaucracies will be identified. The merit concept constitutes a rundown of criteria for employment into the civil service. The practicality of the above regulations means that recruitment cuts across class, ethnic and religious lines. In Rivers State, the recruitment in the civil service do not hold water because of the prevailing problems of god-fatherism, favouritism and ethnicity. In this study, survey method, questionnaire and personal interviews were used as the main instruments for collecting the primary data. Questionnaire was based on the research hypotheses are Z test was used to analyze the data based on what transpired in the field. Ten ministries were sampled for the study out of twenty-three, they are ministries of justice, information, education, women affairs, Agriculture, health, transport, finance and culture and tourism. 1000 copies of questionnaire were distributed across these ministries at 100 copies each. On the whole 800copies were properly fill and returned. Questionnaire was based on likert scale of strongly agreed (SA), Agreed (A), undecided (UD), strongly disagreed (SD) and disagreed (D). The result showed that merit principles is a measure in recruitment for the effective functioning of the civil service. The researcher recommends that the merit concept that constitutes a rundown of criteria for employment into the civil service should be emphasized

description: The objective of this paper is to analyze the factors that determine productivity of fruit and vegetable growers in central Chile, focusing especially on the effect of short-term credit on farm productivity for market-oriented farmers. We explicitly test for possible selection bias using a panel data set from a survey conducted in 2006 and 2008 with 177 farmers. Our results indicate that short-term credit does not have an impact on farm productivity, while other factors as education and the type of activity do. These results suggest that other providers of credit, such as informal credit institutions, may relax short-term credit constraints in rural financial markets in Chile.
Local Dynamics and Strong Correlation Physics I: 1D and 2D Half-filled Hubbard Models
Creators: name: Stanescu, Tudor D.

Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report on a non-perturbative approach to the 1D and 2D Hubbard models that is capable of recovering both strong and weak-coupling limits. We first show that even when the on-site Coulomb repulsion, U, is much smaller than the bandwith, the Mott-Hubbard gap never closes at half-filling in both 1D and 2D. Consequently, the Hubbard model at half-filling is always in the strong-coupling non-perturbative regime. For both large and small U, we find that the population of nearest-neighbour singlet states approaches a value of order unity as $T\to 0$ as would be expected for antiferromagnetic order. We also find that the double occupancy is a smooth monotonic function of U and approaches the anticipated non-interacting limit and large U limits. Finally, in our results for the heat capacity in 1D differ by no more than 1% from the Bethe ansatz predictions. In addition, we find that in 2D, the heat capacity vs T for different values of U exhibits a universal crossing point at two characteristic temperatures as is seen experimentally in a wide range of strongly-correlated systems such as $^3He$, $UBe_3$, and $CeCu_{6-x}Al_x$. The success of this method in recovering well-established results that stem fundamentally from the Coulomb interaction suggests that local dynamics are at the heart of the physics of strongly correlated systems.

Emoia longicauda

description: Emoia longicauda (Macleay, 1877)
 Type locality. Darnley Island, Torres Strait, Queensland, Australia.
 Fig. 21. Photo in life of Emoia atrocostata from Kei Kecil (ALS 392).
 Distribution in the Kei Islands. Roux (1910) reported this species from the Kei Islands, though it is unclear if this refers to Kei Kecil or Kei Besar. We collected one specimen of E. longicauda from Kur from a coconut grove, and it is possible that it is also present on the other islands as well.
 Natural history. The one specimen we observed of this species was approximately 4 m above ground on the trunk of a coconut tree in a large coconut grove on Kur Island. We have also observed this species in secondary forest or coconut groves on the nearby Banda and Aru Islands. It is known to be arboreal through the rest of its range, and able to easily jump between branches (Wilson & Swan, 2013, p. 264).
 Field identification. This species is one of two large, mostly green arboreal skinks in the Kei Islands. It is distinguished from Lamprolepis smaragdina, by its more gracile build, longer tail and present (though reduced) supranasals. Emoia longicauda has a greenish-bronze dorsum with small, dark flecks on individual scales. Ventral surface bright green. 24–26 mid-body scale rows; 55–70 fourth toe subdigital lamellae, basal most smooth; SVL to 80 mm (Cogger, 2014, p. 551).
 Remarks. E. cyanogaster keiensis Sternfeld, 1918, a subspecies of Emoia from the E. cyanogaster species complex, was described from the Kei Islands, though the subspecies was later synonymised by Brown (1991) with E. longicauda (Shea & Michels, 2008). Brown (1991) noted that while the specimens he examined from the Kei and Aru Islands were more similar to E. longicauda than to E. cyanogaster, it would require further material to resolve the status of the subspecies, and we agree with this assessment.

description: Excitons in atomically-thin semiconductors interact very strongly with electromagnetic radiation and are necessarily close to a surface. Here, we exploit the deep-subwavelength confinement of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at the edge of a metal-insulator-metal plasmonic waveguide and their proximity of 2D excitons in an adjacent atomically thin semiconductor to build an ultra-compact photodetector. When subject to far-field excitation we show that excitons are created throughout the dielectric gap region of our waveguide and converted to free carriers primarily at the anode of our device. In the near-field regime, strongly confined SPPs are launched, routed and detected in a 20nm narrow region at the interface between the waveguide and the monolayer semiconductor. This leads to an ultra-compact active detector region of only ~0.03$μm ^2$ that absorbs 86% of the propagating energy in the SPP. Due to the electromagnetic character of the SPPs, the spectral response is essentially identical to the far-field regime, exhibiting strong resonances close to the exciton energies. While most of our experiments are performed on monolayer thick MoSe$_2$, the photocurrent-per-layer increases super linearly in multilayer devices due to the suppression of radiative exciton recombination. These results demonstrate an integrated device for nanoscale routing and detection of light with the potential for on-chip integration at technologically relevant, few-nanometer length scales.

description: Using panel data from a survey conducted in 2006 and 2008 of 177 market-oriented farmers in central Chile, we investigate investment under imperfect capital markets. Specifically we determine the impact of formal credit constraints on fixed investment. By controlling for endogeneity problems, we find credit constraints to have a significant negative impact on fixed investment. In addition, a time trend is significant, which we understand as evidence of the impact of the global financial crisis of 2007.

description: CBC programmes are a key pillar of the current neighbourhood policy of the EU, and will play an even stronger role in the next future. In this note a simple framework for the assessment of the relevance and impact of these programmes was proposed, and some preliminary findingswhere discussed, for the ENPI MED CBC and the Italy –Tunisia programme The neighbour regions were classified on the basis of structural heterogeneity and strength of interactions. In this framework, the Mediterranean neighbourhood, could be classified as “ separated” or “isolated” with a strong structural diversity, that generates a potential for intensive interaction, and strong risks of tensions and open crisis. Agriculture and rural areas are among the sectors where these features appear with the strongest intensity. In this scenario, CBC actions could contribute to the generation of a virtuous process of convergence, in the direction of declining structural dualisms, and increasing synergic flows. This role is not played, or at least is not significantly appearing yet in the ENPI CBC programmes. The ENPI CBC strategy doesn’t explicitly identify rural development issues as main priority. The only two programmes activated in the Mediterranean Basin MED and Italy Tunisia, show quite different focus on Rural Issues. In the ENPI MED, rural issues are still marginal, per quality and quantity of projects. The smaller, programme Italy-Tunisia seems much more focused on the theme, with a majority of projects directly targeting agro-food topics. A stronger impact of CBC programmes on rural development seems opportune, specially after the structural changes brought by the Arab Spring, that demand a new model of integration, and sustainable development in the Mediterranean Basin.

description: A Kelvinox 400 dilution refrigerator with the ability to load samples onto the mixing chamber from the bottom of the cryostat has been combined with an ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) deposition chamber equipped with molecular beam sources. The liquid helium cooled sample transfer mechanism is used in a manner that allows films to be grown on substrates which are kept at temperatures of order 8K with chamber pressures in the 10^-9 to 10^-10 Torr range. This system facilitates the growth of quench-condensed ultrathin films which must always be kept below ~ 12K in a UHV environment during and after growth. Measurements can be made on the films down to millikelvin temperatures and in magnetic fields up to 15 T.

description: To evaluate the test-retest reliability and validity of the Patient Generated Index (PGI) in individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease (CDK) undergoing hemodialysis. Through a non-experimental study with repeated measures, PGI was applied twice to assess internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Correlations with the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF), the Human Activity Profile (HAP) questionnaire, the Social Participation Scale, and the Glittre ADL Test were used. 91 individuals with CKD were evaluated. There was high reliability for the PGI (ICC= 0.97) PGI correlated with KQDOL – SF in Functional Capacity r = 0.38 (p < 0.001), Emotional Well-Being r = 0.31 (p = 0.003), Social Aspect r = 0.22 (p = 0.036), Emotional Function r = 0.22 (p = 0.038) and Effect of Kidney Disease r = 0.21 (p = 0.042), and Physical scores r = 0.24 (p = 0.021)), Mental r = 0.21 (p = 0.05) and General r = 0.22 (p = 0.037) summarized. There was a significant correlation between PGI and HAP r = 0.40 (p < 0.001) and the Social Participation Scale r = −0.36 (p < 0.001). There was no correlation between the PGI and Glittre ADL scores r = 0.12 (p = 0.247). In adults receiving hemodialysis, the PGI proved to be an accurate and reliable instrument for the assessment of the quality of life from the perspective of the patient.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAlthough hemodialysis treatment is associated with increased survival and symptom control, there is a significant change in the patient’s lifestyle.In order to provide a more focused view of the individual, the Patient Generated Index (PGI) was created to evaluate the quality of life.PGI is reliable and correlates with KQDOL – SF and the Social Participation Scale in this population.

description: Grasslands received policy attention in the Czech Republic only just fifteen years ago, when they were threatened to be abandoned in the economic transition process. The supports to farming on grasslands have grown gradually, particularly after the EU accession. The policy followed the notion of joitness between grassland management and beef cattle raising and conditioned AE and LFA payments by a minimum livestock density. There are many reasons why the current policy will change in the new programme period. The paper tries to assess the impact of the envisaged changes on grassland maintenance. It is showed that overall future supports to farming will be sufficient to keep positive profit on grassland farms, however the structure of supports might be less appropriate to the actual objectives of grassland protection and hence, there is a threat of policy failure in the end.

Emoia reimschisseli

description: Emoia reimschisseli Tanner, 1950
 Type locality. Morotai, Indonesia.
 Distribution in the Kei Islands. We collected a large series of Emoia reimschisseli from Kei Kecil, and also collected this species on Kei Besar and Kur.
 Natural history. This species was extremely common in the leaf litter and among rotting logs of secondary growth forest in rocky soil.
 Field identification. A small to medium sized skink with three narrow, yellow longitudinal stripes on a blackish dorsum. Tail bright blue in juveniles, white to dirty white in adults. Emoia reimschisseli shows nearly identical morphology to E. caeruleocauda and E. cyanura with which Kei Islands specimens have been formerly been referred to. They are distinguished only by the number of subdigital lamellae and in some populations by the number of midbody scale rows (though mid-body scale rows often do not differ) (Brown, 1991; How et al., 1998). 29–35 mid-body scale rows (rarely more than 30); 32–39 rounded lamellae under the fourth toe; SVL 39–57 mm (Brown, 1991).
 Remarks. Originally reported as Emoia cyanura (Doria, 1875; Roux, 1910; de Rooij, 1915), the WAM expedition to Kei Besar reported a subsequently described yellowlined Emoia, E. reimschisseli (How et al., 1998). Emoia reimschisseli was described from Morotai and Halmahera (Tanner, 1950), and also inhabits the Aru Islands and a single specimen was collected from Selaru in the Tanimbar group that is morphologically divergent and may represent a distinct species (How et al., 1998).

description: We study the onset of a classical order parameter after a second-order phase transition in quantum field theory. We consider a quantum scalar field theory in which the system-field (long-wavelength modes), interacts with its environment, represented both by a set of scalar fields and by its own short-wavelength modes. We compute the decoherence times for the system-field modes and compare them with the other time scales of the model. We analyze different couplings between the system and the environment for slow quenches. Within our approximations decoherence is in general a short time event.

description: We investigate the W-algebras generated by the integer dimension chiral primary operators of the SU(2)_0 WZNW model. These have a form almost identical to that found in the c=-2 model but have, in addition, an extended Kac-Moody structure. Moreover on Hamiltonian reduction these SU(2)_0 W-algebras exactly reduce to those found in c=-2. We explicitly find the free field representations for the chiral j=2 and j=3 operators which have respectively a fermionic doublet and bosonic triplet nature. The correlation functions of these operators accounts for the rational solutions of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation that we find. We explicitly compute the full algebra of the j=2 operators and find that the associativity of the algebra is only guaranteed if certain null vectors decouple from the theory.

description: Interactive reinforcement learning has become an important apprenticeship approach to speed up convergence in classic reinforcement learning problems. In this regard, a variant of interactive reinforcement learning is policy shaping which uses a parent-like trainer to propose the next action to be performed and by doing so reduces the search space by advice. On some occasions, the trainer may be another artificial agent which in turn was trained using reinforcement learning methods to afterward becoming an advisor for other learner-agents. In this work, we analyze internal representations and characteristics of artificial agents to determine which agent may outperform others to become a better trainer-agent. Using a polymath agent, as compared to a specialist agent, an advisor leads to a larger reward and faster convergence of the reward signal and also to a more stable behavior in terms of the state visit frequency of the learner-agents. Moreover, we analyze system interaction parameters in order to determine how influential they are in the apprenticeship process, where the consistency of feedback is much more relevant when dealing with different learner obedience parameters.

description: We study the coherent inelastic diffraction of very weakly bound two body clusters from a material transmission grating. We show that internal transitions of the clusters can lead to new separate peaks in the diffraction pattern whose angular positions determine the excitation energies. Using a quantum mechanical approach to few body scattering theory we determine the relative peak intensities for the diffraction of the van der Waals dimers (D_2)_2 and H_2-D_2. Based on the results for these realistic examples we discuss the possible applications and experimental challenges of this coherent inelastic diffraction technique.

Description: A: Upset plot representing the number of coincident significant GO terms between cancers. For each cancer type, two groups have been created: the group of the up-activated GO terms (denoted by UP), and the group of the down-activated GO terms (denoted by DOWN). Therefore, the same GO can not be at the same time in the same cancer’s UP and DOWN groups. Red and blue horizontal bars represent the number of significant GOs in each group. Each vertical bar in the plot represents the intersection of the groups in the inferior rows with a solid point, and the exclusion of the groups in the inferior rows with a shaded point. An orange box surrounds the part of the UpSet plot representing the GO terms which are significant in all three cancers. The blue and red vertical bars represent the GOs which are simultaneously down- and up-regulated in the three cancers, respectively. B: Heatmaps of the significantly common GO terms values, represented inside the orange box of the UpSet plot above. Samples and rows were ordered following the results of a hierarchical clusterization. Tumor samples are colored in blue while normal tissue samples are colored in light blue. In the heatmap, higher activation values are colored in red and lower activation values in blue. Left: BRCA cancer data. Center: KIRC cancer data. Right: LUAD cancer data.
Cutting plane oracles for non-smooth trust-regions

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We prove global convergence of a bundle trust region algorithm for non-smooth non-convex optimization, where cutting planes are generated by oracles respecting four basic rules. The benefit is that convergence theory applies to a large variety of methods encountered in practice. This includes in particular the method of downshifted tangents, for which previously no convergence result in the trust region framework was known. We also show that certain splitting techniques can be seen as special cases of bundle trust region techniques.

description: This report on the Urban Circularity Assessment for Porto presents the gathered information and main findings on the material flows of the local economy for 2009 and 2019, as well as the building stock accounting. It provides contextual information of the city and the local economy under study and then illustrates the quantities of flows in the single parts of the supply chain, summarised by a Sankey diagram, followed by a map of the material stock. Both of the accounted materials are evaluated in the form of circularity indicators and their data quality. Finally, the results are analysed and interpreted to determine a status quo, considering limitations of the data used, before recommendations are offered on how to achieve greater material circularity in the municipality of Porto.

Lamprolepis smaragdina

description: Lamprolepis smaragdina (Lesson, 1826)
(Fig. 22)
 Type locality. Ebon Atoll, Marshall Islands.
 Distribution in the Kei Islands. Kei Kecil, Kei Besar, Tam, and Kur. We collected this species on all islands we surveyed, except Kei Besar, though the AM and WAM expeditions collected several specimens there.
 Natural history. This arboreal species was very common and encountered on exposed trees bathed in sunlight in disturbed and plantation forest. This species is also abundant in local coconut plantations.
 Field identification. Medium-large robust arboreal skink; anterior half of body emerald green; posterior half brown; snout long and pointed; body and limbs strong; digits slender; 20–26 mid-body scale rows; 28–35 smooth fourth toe subdigitial lamellae; SVL to 103 mm; tail to 156 mm (de Rooij, 1915, p. 199–200).
 Remarks. Lamprolepis smaragdina has colonised most of Wallacea without anthropogenic assistance (Linkem et al., 2013). It shows deep mitochondrial genetic differentiation across regions of Wallacea, with the Kei Islands population part of a larger Maluku clade (Linkem et al., 2013) that can be attributed to the subspecies L. s. moluccarum (Barbour, 1911).

description: The nonclassicality of primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) is characterized in terms of sub-Poissonian graviton statistics. The sub-Poissonian statistics are realized when quantum states are squeezed coherent states. In the presence of matter fields, the Universe experiences the squeezed coherent state during inflation. The condition to realize the sub-Poissonian graviton statistics is translated into the frequency range of gravitational waves. If the initial state is the Bunch-Davies vacuum, there is another necessary condition between phases of squeezing and coherent parameters. Here, we extend the initial state to entangled states. We consider $α$-vacua as the initial entangled state that are more general de Sitter invariant vacua than the Bunch-Davies vacuum. We find that, unlike the Bunch-Davies vacuum, PGWs generated in the initial entangled state become sub-Poissonian without requiring the condition between the phases.

EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVES IN SOCIOLOGY: TRACING THE ROOTS OF SOCIO-CULTURAL CHANGE
Creators: name: Onyejekwe, Ngozi Chioma

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: sociology, socio-cultural change, evolutionary changes, social structures, social institutions

description: The study of societies and their cultures is inherently intertwined with the examination of change, particularly socio-cultural change, which has been a central focus of sociology since its inception as an academic discipline. This enduring interest in understanding the processes of change is exemplified by the work of sociologists such as Herbert Spencer, a foundational figure in the field. Spencer argued that sociology can only attain the status of a science by embracing the concept of natural evolutionary law, highlighting the importance of acknowledging the dynamic nature of social structures and institutions. This paper delves into the significance of studying evolutionary changes within sociology, emphasizing the necessity of recognizing societal transformations as integral to the discipline's scientific inquiry. By exploring the historical roots of this perspective and its implications for contemporary sociological research, this paper aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between societal dynamics and scientific inquiry in the field of sociology.
