Geometrical Scaling due to Critical Behavior Near the Light Cone
Creators: name: Pirner, Hans J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: At low $x$ a transition from a dilute parton gas to a dense parton liquid takes place. We derive geometrical scaling for the structure function in deep inelastic scattering at low $x$ from a diverging correlation length $ξ(x)$ of Wilson lines near the light cone. QCD (SU(3)) in 2+1 space - time dimensions near the light cone becomes a critical theory in the limit of $x \to 0$ with a diverging correlation length $ξ(x) \propto x^{-\frac{1}{2 λ_2}}$ where the exponent $λ_2=2.52$ is obtained from the center group Z(3) of SU(3).

description: The objective of the article is to determine the significanceof agribusiness in the national economy in the European Union countries. The article compares the in-ternal structure and share of agribusiness in the national economy in relation to gross value added. It also presents the relations between the share of agriculture, food economy and gross value added per capita. The main research method was input-output analysis, which is based on the intersectoral flowbalance. The research shows that in the less deve-loped countries the share of agriculture and agribusiness in the national incomes is much higher than in the highly developed countries. Moreover, the results of the correlation between the gross value added per capita and the share of agribusiness in the national income indicate that the process of secular decrease in the importance of this sector in the national income is inhibited if the economic development is high.

description: The main objective is to verify whether it is possible to confirm differences in price policy not only in the division of chains according to the format of the shops but also in relation to Czech and foreign food and whether these findings can be clearly identified. The partial objective is to find the difference between Czech and foreign products in the context of chain approach according to other criteria such as price differences among products and among chains. There are eleven chains evaluated in the tables as well as 29 relevant food groups. The used underlying data is based on the data processed from the primary data obtained by the data collection in the retail chains. The average number of observations of one item, which is about 43 observations, of which 37 observations of Czech products and about 29 products with price. Only Lidl has a higher number of price observations from the total number of observations of foreign products. In the area of price policy evaluation (whether it is possible to confirm the differences not only in the division of the chains according to the format of the stores, but also in relation to Czech and foreign foods and identify clearly these findings), the difference is considered mainly according to the "low price“ of food and it can be said that there are noticeable differences among the chains, which also confirm different approach to Czech and foreign food and differences according to the format of chain stores. This paper originated in the context of the exploratory study „Prices of selected Czech and foreign food products in retail chains in November 2016“. The study was created for the needs of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic.

description: Continuous efforts to predict what is the most likely development and importance of the agricultural sector are being made in the long-term perspective. To this end, EAA prediction models (SZU-P1 and SZU-P2) were constructed, and coupled with a model that describes the importance and linkages of the agricultural sector to other sectors within the national economy of the Czech Republic (HDP-1 model). The models described below can be used for measuring and simulation of impacts of the agricultural sector with downstream and upstream industries on the Czech GDP, but also monitoring flows and linkages of the total agri-food industry complex on the national economy.

description: The article discusses the issue of the use of information technology in the search for potential competitive advantages in agricultural companies. Information technology in agriculture should provide a clearly defined benefit for the management’s decision-making. If information technology is not being used to its full potential and if the results are interpreted incorrectly, the overall impact may be damaging to the position of companies in the competitive environment. Investment in information technology requires considerable sums that should return in the form of faster and better decision-making in which digitalized corporate processes play a complex role. Strategic decision-making concerning investments in information technology in various types of agricultural businesses varies depending on their size, focus, economic situation etc. In the context of the current state of agriculture in the Czech Republic and after a detailed analysis of available literature, the authors conclude that the issues of quality of information technology have not yet been systematically examined and resolved in Czech agricultural companies. For this reason, they consider it fruitful to focus their attention on this subject. The main objective of the paper is to develop and apply a methodological model for evaluating the quality of information technology in an agricultural business. In addition, we want to examine the broader impact of the criterion of IT quality from the perspective of its strategic importance for competitiveness and the extent to which it supports strategic management in practice.
Open Spinning Strings

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We find classical open string solutions in the $AdS_5\times S^5/\Zop_2$ orientifold with angular momenta along the five-sphere. The energy of these solutions has an expansion in integral powers of $λ$ with sigma-model corrections suppressed by inverse powers of $J$ - the total angular momentum. This gives a prediction for the exact anomalous dimensions of operators in the large $N$ limit of an ${\cal N}=2$ $Sp(N)$ Super-Yang-Mills theory with matter. We also find a simple map between open and closed string solutions. This gives a prediction for an all-loop planar relationship between the anomalous dimensions of single-trace and two-quark operators in the dual gauge theory.

Ambiguity, Weakness, and Regularity in Probabilistic Büchi Automata
Creators: name: Löding, Christof

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Formal Languages and Automata Theory (cs.FL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Probabilistic Büchi automata are a natural generalization of PFA to infinite words, but have been studied in-depth only rather recently and many interesting questions are still open. PBA are known to accept, in general, a class of languages that goes beyond the regular languages. In this work we extend the known classes of restricted PBA which are still regular, strongly relying on notions concerning ambiguity in classical omega-automata. Furthermore, we investigate the expressivity of the not yet considered but natural class of weak PBA, and we also show that the regularity problem for weak PBA is undecidable.

description: This paper analyzes rural households awareness, perceptions and factors influencing decisions to purchase solar dried vegetables. Solar dried vegetables have higher nutritive value and hygiene than open sun dried vegetables. Findings show that about 36 percent of the rural households are aware of solar dried vegetables. Decision to purchase solar dried vegetables were influenced by female household head, income level, experience in the consumption of dried vegetables and awareness of the importance of solar dried vegetables. Thus, awareness creation and promoting solar driers to dry vegetables is suggested as an effective way to continuously access nutritious vegetables, particularly among households faced with frequent droughts.

description: Does heat affect agriculture in regions where temperatures are not high enough to directly, adversely affect crop growth? Combining daily weather data with a qualitatively rich, longitudinal survey of Kenyan agricultural households in rural maize-growing areas where daily average temperatures are well below 30C, we find that higher temperatures early in the growing season increase the use of pesticides, while reducing fertilizer use, with comparatively modest effects of temperature later in the growing season. Suggestive evidence indicates that greater heat increases the incidence of pests, crop diseases and weeds, compelling farmers to divert investment from productivity-enhancing technologies like fertilizer to adaptive, loss-reducing inputs like pesticides.

description: We study the late-time behavior of a universe in the framework of brane gas cosmology. We investigate the evolution of a universe with a gas of supergravity particles and a gas of branes. Considering the case when different dimensions are anisotropically wrapped by various branes, we have derived Friedman-like equations governing the dynamics of wrapped and unwrapped subvolumes. We point out that the compact internal dimensions are wrapped by three or higher dimensional branes.

description: The extension of the sunspot number series backward in time is of considerable interest for dynamo theory, solar, stellar, and climate research. We have used records of the Be-10 concentration in polar ice to reconstruct the average sunspot activity level for the period between the year 850 to the pr esent. Our method uses physical models for processes connecting the Be-10 concentration with the sunspot number. The reconstruction shows reliably that the period of high solar activity during the last 60 years is unique throughout the past 1150 years. This nearly triples the time interval for which such a statement could be made previously

description: Joseph Meyer “Joe” Prager (b. Feb. 11, 1921, New York, N.Y., d. Mar. 14, 2000, Houston, Tex.) Joe Prager was a founding member of Congregation Or Hadash and Memorial Lodge B’Nai B’rith, Hadassah Associate. He worked as a manufacturer representative for 50 years. Marian Schuman Prager (1926-2014) was a native Houstonian, active in Young Judaea and Hadassah, and a member of Congregation Brith Shalom later in in life. Donated by Joseph Prager in 1995, this collection of 408 recordings from 1907 to around 1960 features Jewish cantors and singers, most notably Yosele (Josef) Rosenblatt, who was called “the Jewish Caruso.” Other cantors/singers include Joseph Shlisky, Joseph Winogradoff, Elias Kritschmar, Pincas Borensztein, Berele Chagy, Pierre Pinchik, Jan Peerce, Richard Tucker, Zavel Kwartin, Bela Herskovits, Samuel Malavsky, Moshe Koussevitzky, Mordechai Hershman, William Rubin, David Roitman, David Moshe Steinberg, and others. It includes rare recordings of Cantor Izso Garay "Isidore" Glickstein, cantor at Congregation Mishkan Tefila, where Leonard Bernstein attended services as a young man. Jewish instrumentalists such as Toscha Seidel, Louis T. Gruneberg, Mischa Elman and Jascha Heifetz are also represented. In addition, there are recordings of non-Jewish instrumentalists and opera singers, most notably Enrico Caruso, Feodor Chaliapin and Amelita Galli-Curci.

We prove that some of these automorphisms are wild in the class of all automorphisms fixing z, including the well known automorphism discovered by Anick, and show how to recognize the wild ones. This class of automorphisms induces tame automorphisms of the polynomial algebra K[x,y,z]. For n>2 the automorphisms of K which fix z and are linear in the x's are tame.

This research explores the concept of collective teacher efficacy, specifically middle school teachers’ beliefs on what factors contribute to the development of collective teacher efficacy at the middle school level. An online survey was used as the research instrument to gather responses from teachers in the Sooke School District and Saanich School District on Southern Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Any teacher in either district currently working at a middle school in a contracted position was asked to participate. As well, any teacher working in either Sooke School District (#62) or Saanich School District (#63) who is currently teaching at another grade level but has held a teaching contract for one full year at a middle school also qualified for participation. This information was gathered using a Likert scale response system, teachers were asked to rank the impact of certain factors in terms of their contribution to the development of collective teacher efficacy. Additionally, participants were asked to respond to two short response questions and one open-ended question regarding the development of collective teacher efficacy at the middle school level. The data gathered by this survey indicates that middle school teachers believe certain factors do indeed play a more significant role in the development of collective teacher efficacy at the middle school level. Particularly, professional trust amongst teaching staff, and between teachers and school administrators were ranked as most significant. Further research is required to identify how each factor contributes to collective teacher efficacy in more detail, and how the data gathered in this study would compare to data gathered from elementary or secondary level teachers. The data presented in this study can be utilized by teachers, administrators, and district leaders to better inform their practice in the pursuit of collective teacher efficacy development at their respective institutions.

description: Positive frequency Wightman function and vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor are computed for a massive scalar field with general curvature coupling parameter subject to Robin boundary conditions on two parallel plates located on $D+1$ - dimensional AdS background. The general case of different Robin coefficients on separate plates is considered. The mode summation method is used with a combination of a variant of the generalized Abel-Plana formula for the series over zeros of combinations of cylinder functions. This allows us to extract manifestly the parts due to the AdS spacetime without boundaries and boundary induced parts. The asymptotic behavior of the vacuum densities near the plates and at large distances is investigated. The vacuum forces acting on the boundaries are presented as a sum of the self-action and interaction forces. The first one contains well-known surface divergences and needs further regularization. The interaction forces between the plates are attractive for Dirichlet scalar. We show that threre is a region in the space of parameters defining the boundary conditions in which the interaction forces are repulsive for small distances and attractive for large distances. An application to the Randall-Sundrum braneworld with arbitrary mass terms on the branes is discussed.

description: The directional motion of sessile drops can be induced by slanted mechanical vibrations of the substrate. As previously evidenced \cite{Brunet07,Brunet09,Noblin09}, the mechanical vibrations induce drop deformations which combine axisymmetric and antisymmetric modes. In this paper, we establish quantitative trends from experiments conducted within a large range of parameters, namely the amplitude $A$ and frequency $f$ of the forcing, the liquid viscosity $η$ and the angle between the substrate and the forcing axis $α$. These experiments are carried out on weak-pinning substrates. For most parameters sets, the averaged velocity $$ grows linearly with $A$. We extract the mobility, defined as $s=\frac{Δ}{ΔA}$. It is found that $s$ can show a sharp maximal value close to the resonance frequency of the first axisymmetric mode $f_p$. The value of $s$ tends to be almost independent on $η$ below 50 cSt, while $s$ decreases significantly for higher $η$. Also, it is found that for peculiar sets of parameters, particularly with $f$ far enough from $f_p$, the drop moves in the reverse direction. Finally, we draw a relationship between $$ and the averaged values of the dynamical contact angles at both sides of the drop over one period of oscillation.

description: Combining various carbon nanofillers with different dimensions can lead to a synergistic effect through the formation of an efficient conductive network. Hybrid polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were fabricated to study experimental and theoretical aspects of thermal conductivity (TC) enhancement. The optimization of hybrid nanofillers combinations was done to synergically enhance the TC using various types of GNPs, different nanofillers concentrations and varied ratios. A synergistic thermal conductivity improvement with MWCNTs and GNPs was confirmed at low nanofillers contents. The TC of hybrid nanocomposite at 0.25 wt% is approximately equivalent to the TC of individual nanofillers at 0.75 wt%. An analytical model for the effective thermal conductivity of single and hybrid nanocomposites was considered with variables of volume fraction, interfacial thermal resistance, straightness of the nanofillers and the percolation effect, in which the predictions of the modified models agree with the experimental results.

description: Investigating student learning and understanding of conceptual physics is a primary research area within Physics Education Research (PER). Multiple quantitative methods have been employed to analyze commonly used mechanics conceptual inventories: the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) and the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE). Recently, researchers have applied network analytic techniques to explore the structure of the incorrect responses to the FCI identifying communities of incorrect responses which could be mapped on to common misconceptions. In this study, the method used to analyze the FCI, Modified Module Analysis (MMA), was applied to a large sample of FMCE pretest and post-test responses ($N_{pre}=3956$, $N_{post}=3719$). The communities of incorrect responses identified were consistent with the item groups described in previous works. As in the work with the FCI, the network was simplified by only retaining nodes selected by a substantial number of students. Retaining nodes selected by 20\% of the students produced communities associated with only four misconceptions. The incorrect response communities identified for men and women were substantially different, as was the change in these communities from pretest to post-test. The 20% threshold was far more restrictive than the 4% threshold applied to the FCI in the prior work which generated similar structures. Retaining nodes selected by 5% or 10% of students generated a large number of complex communities. The communities identified at the 10\% threshold were generally associated with common misconceptions producing a far richer set of incorrect communities than the FCI; this may indicate that the FMCE is a superior instrument for characterizing the breadth of student misconceptions about Newtonian mechanics.

description: Abstract The Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) agreement has the potential to intensify agricultural trade between the United States and the European Union. In particular, the cooperation on non-tariff barriers including food safety standards and sanitary and phytosanitary issues will expand agricultural trade. Using bilateral trade data at the U.S. state level, we empirically assess the impacts of a TTIP harmonization of food safety regulatory standards on US state agricultural exports to the E.U. We provide the first economic analysis of the possible TTIPagreement with policy implications for individual U.S. states. Quarterly trade series pertaining to major ports in the US and the MRLs that exemplify differences in food safety standards across the Atlantic are used. Deploying state-of-the-art gravity models and probit equations that address the high frequency of missing trade, we find that MRLs significantly diminish agri-food trade. The results reveal that a 10% reduction in MRL stringency would promote trade by nearly 6%. If the final provisions endorse the Codex MRLs, the TTIP agreement would boost US agricultural exports to the EU by more than one billion dollars a year. Coastal states with large agricultural sectors benefit the most from the reforms induced by a TTIP agreement.
