description: Ground-state and finite-temperature properties of the exactly solvable mixed spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg planar model composed of identical trigonal bipyramids that are arranged into a regular archimedean lattice are examined with the aim to clarify the frustration phenomenon at zero and finite temperatures. It is shown that the ground-state spin frustration persists even far above the second-order phase transition. If the interaction ratio between the Heisenberg and Ising exchange interactions is close enough to the ground-state boundaries between the neighboring phases, a remarkable re-entrance of the (non-)frustrated spin arrangement of the Heisenberg spins can be observed around the critical temperature of the model. It is also evidenced that entropy and specific heat show pronounced temperature variations not only around the critical temperature, but also in low-temperature regime if values of the interaction parameters are taken from neighborhood of the ground-state phase transitions, where energies of the neighboring phases are very close.
New Social Housing Models in Sweden: From Folkhemmet to Automobile Perceptual Regimes

description: The article sheds light on the relationship between architecture and corporatism in Sweden, paying special attention to Cøsta Esping-Andersen’s The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism, and Democracy and the Welfare State: The Two Wests in the Age of Austerity edited by Alice Kessler-Harris and Maurizio Vaudagna. It examines how the automobile, as a physical and perceptual presence, has influenced the relationship between welfare landscapes and social housing in Sweden. Starting out from Gro Hagemann’s statement – in “Paradise Lost: Social Citizenship in Norway and Sweden” – that “[s]ocial integration was a key part of the folkhem idea, and social marginalisation and exclusion remain low in both Sweden and Norway”, it explores how architects and urban designers in Sweden began to take the car into full consideration when designing new social housing ensembles, neighbourhoods and cities. During the 1970s, in contrast with the American drive-centred suburbia, the design of the Swedish suburban environment, as described in the late-seventies issues of Human Environment in Sweden, was based on the intention to minimise as much as possible the “suburban use of the automobile”.
In cases such as the Vällingby suburban district, design strategies were explicitly set against the “excessive reliance on the automobile as the means of transportation” characterising American suburbs. In contrast with the Vällingby households that, as David Popenoe notes, had “two cars, and a significant percentage (35-40) [had] [...] no car”, Järvalyftet – a large-scale project that intended to renew a section of northern Stockholm with a population of ca. 60,000 – envisioned a renewed role for the motorways and their connection to housing design, as becomes evident in the description of this project in the OECD Reviews on Local Job Creation, Employment and Skills Strategies in Sweden: “The new motorway around Stockholm will go nearby, which better connects the areas to other communities”. This article explores the shift from the model of the so-called Folkhemmet (The People’s Home) to the incorporation of new ideas of proximity enhanced by the integration of motorways in the design of social housing in Sweden during the last few years. Analysing the impact of automobile perceptual regimes on the dominant social housing models in Sweden will help us better understand the role of the car in 21st-century social housing design and its social relevance within the welfare state.

The Living Units within the Home-office Conditions: “Tele-work”, “Tele-communication”, and “Teleeducation” vis-à-vis the Reinvention of the City and Pandemic Preparedness

description: The paper examines how architects such us Takis Zenetos, Yona Friedman, Frei Otto and the Archigram among others conceptualized the reinvention of the relationship between the living units and the home-office conditions. Both Zenetos and Friedman were interested in the re-invention of the home-office conditions and in how architecture and urban design strategies could respond to distance working. They were particularly interested in “tele-work”, “tele-communication”, and “tele-education”. Special attention will be paid to how the architects under study envisioned a new mode of thinking urbanism able to be adapted to the continuous mutations in both the social and technological domain. Central for this paper is the analysis of the design of flexible systems concern-ing both buildings and infrastructures, and intending to take into consideration the accelerating muta-tion of the living units in the cities of the future. An aspect that will be explored is the extent to which the core ideas of the experimentations of the aforementioned architects with the living units in the city of the future could be incorporated in the design of architectural and urban projects aiming to contribute to pandemic preparedness. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of Zenetos’ design of living units adapted to the conditions of working from home. Zenetos worked on “Urbanisme élec-tronique: Structures parallèles” for more than twenty years. This project consisted of individual living units spread over a vast infrastructural domain, presents many affinities with various projects of suspended megastructures, such as the utopian urban network over Paris designed by Yona Friedman, the Plug-in City by Archigram. The paper departs from the hypothesis that the analysis of Zenetos and Friedman’s intention to provide comfortable, flexible and independent home-office conditions through the design of “individual living units” using advanced technological achievements could be helpful for better understanding how architecture could respond to the challenge of providing con-temporary home-office conditions within the conditions of emergency in the case of pandemic breakouts, such as the coronavirus breakout. Special attention will be paid to the complexity of the psychological and physiological needs of citizens within such conditions.

description: A previously proposed computational procedure for constructing a set of nonorthogonal strongly localised one-electron molecular orbitals (O. Danyliv, L. Kantorovich - physics/0401107) is applied to a perfect $α$-quartz crystal characterised by an intermediate type of chemical bonding. The orbitals are constructed by applying various localisation methods to canonical Hartree-Fock orbitals calculated for a succession of finite molecular clusters of increased size with appropriate boundary conditions. The calculated orbitals span the same occupied Fock space as the canonical HF solutions, but have an advantage of reflecting the true chemical nature of the bonding in the system. The applicability of several localisation techniques as well as of a number of possible choices of localisation regions (structure elements) are discussed for this system in detail.

description: The full three-dimensional photoelectron momentum distributions of argon are measured in intense near-circularly polarized laser fields. We observed that the transverse momentum distribution of ejected electrons by 410-nm near-circularly polarized field is unexpectedly narrowed with increasing laser intensity, which is contrary to the conventional rules predicted by adiabatic theory. By analyzing the momentum-resolved angular momentum distribution measured experimentally and the corresponding trajectories of ejected electrons semiclassically, the narrowing can be attributed to a temporary trapping and thereby focusing of a photoelectron by the atomic potential in a quasibound state. With the near-circularly polarized laser field, the strong Coulomb interaction with the rescattering electrons is avoided, thus the Coulomb focusing in the retrapped process is highlighted. We believe that these findings will facilitate understanding and steering electron dynamics in the Coulomb coupled system.

Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1973

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

Analysis of two-point statistics of cosmic shear: II. Optimizing the survey geometry

description: We present simulations of a cosmic shear survey and show how the survey geometry influences the accuracy of determination of cosmological parameters. We numerically calculate the full covariance matrices Cov of two-point statistics of cosmic shear, based on the expressions derived in the first paper of this series. The individual terms are compared for two survey geometries with large and small cosmic variance. We use analyses based on maximum likelihood of Cov and the Fisher information matrix in order to derive expected constraints on cosmological parameters. As an illustrative example, we simulate various survey geometries consisting of 300 individual fields of 13'x13' size, placed (semi-)randomly into patches which are assumed to be widely separated on the sky and therefore uncorrelated. Using the aperture mass statistics, the optimum survey consists of 10 patches with 30 images in each patch. If Ω_m, σ_8 and Γare supposed to be extracted from the data, the minimum variance bounds on these three parameters are 0.17, 0.25 and 0.04 respectively. These variances raise slightly when the initial power spectrum index n_s is also to be determined from the data. The cosmological constant is only poorly constrained.

description: Several quantitative methods have been developed to evaluate the Impacts of technological change on U.S. agriculture. The major weakness of prevailing models is that they consider the impact of technology on supply alone and are based on partial equilibrium analysis in one market. The use of partial equilibrium analysis ignores cross-market effect. For most goods, a supply shift directly affects quantity demanded by reducing the price of the commodity along a given demand curve. The resulting change in the equilibrium price may affect demand for substitute and complimentary goods, which in turn affect demand for the commodity being considered. The primary objective of this paper is to analyze price effects and substitution effects of technological change in interrelated markets. An econometric model was developed and applied to the beef and pork industries to measure the social impacts of technological change. The multimarket supply-demand model developed in this paper includes technology variables in the specification of supply functions and the model explicitly accounts for the fact that technological change in one market influences demand for related products This paper evaluates the welfare impact of technological change through the consumer-producer surplus model that incorporates the interaction of demand relationships for beef and pork. The results indicate that total returns for technological change in beef and pork are high. Technological change in beef affects economic surpluses in the pork market and technological change in pork affects economic surpluses in the beef market. The actual allocation of expenditures for technological development over the study period (1960-1988) was 70% for beef and 30% for pork. However, the optimal allocation would have been a 40-60 split between beef and pork.

Abstract

The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) is tasked with implementation of the Arctic Research Plan (ARP) by coordinating representatives from federal and state agencies, academic, industry, and Indigenous partners with interests in Arctic research. IARPC is organized into several collaboration teams and discipline-specific communities of practice that interface on the IARPC Collaborations website. The Early Career Community of Practice (ECCoP) is one such community that was established to promote the research of early career researchers (ECR) and increase ECR engagement with the ARP, program managers, collaboration teams, and communities of practice. 

The ECCoP has grown to develop regular newsletters promoting recent ECR research publications and sharing training, job, funding, and collaboration opportunities relevant to community members at all life stages that self-identify as ECRs. Within IARPC, the ECCoP continues to promote ECR participation in monthly community of practice meetings and webinars and to report on ECR efforts that contribute to deliverables of the ARP Biennial Implementation Plan. Recent activity of the ECCoP includes developing an annual survey of the ECR cohort on IARPC to follow change in demographics over time and to identify community needs to improve diversity and inclusion in the polar research space and to address gaps in  training needs for ECRs.

description: Thi~ paper con~iders the nature of preferences for the preservation of biodiversity, and the extent to which individuab are well-informed about biodiversity. We present evidence that the elicitation of monetary bids to pay for biodiversity preservation, as required for cost-benefit analysis, fails as a measure of welfare changes due to the prevalence of preferences which neoclassical economics defines as lexicographic. That is, a ~ignificant proportion of individuals refuse to make trade-offs which require the substitution of biodiver~ity for other goods. In addition, we show that understanding of the biodiver~ity concept is extremely limited, raising concerns over a reliance on stated preferences, as revealed in contingent valuation studies, for decision-making on this issue. Results from two samples (students and the general public) are described.

description: Three-dimensional scalar electrodynamics, with a local U(1) gauge symmetry, is believed to be dual to a scalar theory with a global U(1) symmetry, near the phase transition point. The conjectured duality leads to definite predictions for the scaling exponents of the gauge theory transition in the type II region, and allows thus to be scrutinized empirically. We review these predictions, and carry out numerical lattice Monte Carlo measurements to test them: a number of exponents, characterising the two phases as well as the transition point, are found to agree with expectations, supporting the conjecture. We explain why some others, like the exponent characterising the photon correlation length, appear to disagree with expectations, unless very large system sizes and the extreme vicinity of the transition point are considered. Finally, we remark that in the type I region the duality implies an interesting quantitative relationship between a magnetic flux tube and a 2-dimensional non-topological soliton.

description: Fluorine is massive enough that it is not considered to be a light ($Z\le5$) element, yet compared to its near neighbors, C, N, O, and Ne, it is far underproduced in the course of stellar evolution, making its origin more complex. In fact, the abundance of fluorine is the lowest among all elements between Z = 5 and 21 and is roughly 3-4 orders of magnitude below that of C, N, O, and Ne. There are several plausible sources for F beyond standard stellar evolution. These include the production in the asymptotic giant branch phase (AGB) in intermediate mass stars, production in Wolf-Rayet stars, and the production through neutrino spallation in supernovae. The latter, known as the $ν$-process, is an important source for B11, and may contribute to the abundance of Li7 as well. We combine a simple model of Galactic chemical evolution with a standard Galactic cosmic ray nucleosynthesis model to treat self-consistently the evolution of the Li, Be, and B isotopes. We include massive star production of F, as well as contributions from AGB stars, and the $ν$-process. Given the uncertainties in neutrino energies in supernovae, we normalize the $ν$-process using the observed B11/B10 ratio as a constraint. As a consequence, we are able to determine the relative importance of each contribution to the F abundance. We find that although the $ν$-process dominates at early times (low metallicity), the present-day F abundance is found to originate primarily from AGB stars.

description: We consider the challenging problem of online planning for a team of agents to autonomously search and track a time-varying number of mobile objects under the practical constraint of detection range limited onboard sensors. A standard POMDP with a value function that either encourages discovery or accurate tracking of mobile objects is inadequate to simultaneously meet the conflicting goals of searching for undiscovered mobile objects whilst keeping track of discovered objects. The planning problem is further complicated by misdetections or false detections of objects caused by range limited sensors and noise inherent to sensor measurements. We formulate a novel multi-objective POMDP based on information theoretic criteria, and an online multi-object tracking filter for the problem. Since controlling multi-agent is a well known combinatorial optimization problem, assigning control actions to agents necessitates a greedy algorithm. We prove that our proposed multi-objective value function is a monotone submodular set function; consequently, the greedy algorithm can achieve a (1-1/e) approximation for maximizing the submodular multi-objective function.

description: Financial accounting has emphasized the historical cost approach because of its objectivity. Yet in the event of bankruptcy and liquidation, assets will be liquidated at their market values. In this paper, we compare the probability of insolvency computed using market values to the probability of insolvency computed using historical costs. We find that the historical value based computation has the potential to both understand and overstate the true probability of insolvency. The disparity between the historical value based computation and the market value based computations depends on the degree of leverage and the age of the assets.

description: Given a Heegaard splitting of a closed 3-manifold, the skein modules of the two handlebodies are modules over the skein algebra of their common boundary surface. The zeroth Hochschild homology of the skein algebra of a surface with coefficients in the tensor product of the skein modules of two handlebodies is interpreted as the skein module of the 3-manifold obtained by gluing the two handlebodies together along this surface. A spectral sequence associated to the Hochschild complex is constructed and conditions are given for the existence of algebraic torsion in the skein module of this 3-manifold.

description: Stacks of REBCO tapes can trap large amounts of magnetic fields and can stay magnetized for long periods of times. This makes them an interesting option for major engineering applications such as motors, generators and magnetic bearings. When subjected to transverse alternating fields, superconducting tapes face a reduction in the trapped field, and thus it is the goal of this paper to understand the influence of all parameters in cross field demagnetization of stacks of tapes. Major parameter dependencies considered for the scope of this paper are ripple field amplitude, frequency, tape width, tape thickness (from 1 to 20 $μ$m), and number of tapes (up to 20). This article also provides a systemic study of the relaxation time constant $τ$, which can be used to estimate the cross-field demagnetization decay for high number of cycles. Modeling is based on the Minimum Electro-Magnetic Entropy Production method, and it is shown that the 2D model gives very accurate results for long samples when compared with 3D model. Analytical formulas for large number of cycles have been devised. The results show that when the ripple field amplitude is above the penetration field of one tape, the stack always fully demagnetizes, roughly in exponential decay. Increasing the number of tapes only increases the relaxation time. The formulas derived also hold when validated against numerical results, and can be used for quick approximation of decay constant. They also show that the cause of the decreases of cross-field demagnetization with number of tapes is the increase in the self-inductance of the magnetization currents. The trends and insights obtained for cross field demagnetization for stacks are thus very beneficial for engineers and scientists working with superconducting magnet design and applications.

description: We formulate the algebraic Bethe ansatz solution of the SU(N) vertex models with rather general non-diagonal toroidal boundary conditions. The reference states needed in the Bethe ansatz construction are found by performing gauge transformations on the Boltzmann weights in the manner of Baxter [1]. The structure of the transfer matrix eigenvectors consists of multi-particle states over such pseudovacuums and the corresponding eigenvalues depend crucially on the boundary matrix eigenvalues. We also discuss for N=2 the peculiar case of twisted boundaries associated to singular matrices.

description: In the seminal work by G. Eilenberger [Z. Phys. 214, 195 (1968)], the quasiclassical expression for the free energy of spin-singlet superconductor has been suggested. Starting from the Luttinger-Ward formulation we derive the Eilenberger free energy and find its generalization for superconductor or superfluid with spin-triplet correlations. Besides ordinary superconductors with various scattering mechanisms, the obtained free energy functional can be used for systems with spin-triplet pairing such as superfluid $^3$He and superconducting systems with spatially-inhomogeneous exchange field or spin-orbit coupling. Using this general result we derive the simplified expression for the free energy in the diffusive limit in terms of the momentum-averaged propagators.

description: Biodiesel has recently drawn attention because of its potential to make an important contribution to national energy security and the environment. However, the rapid growth of biodiesel has raised concerns about biodiesel’s impact on the price level and volatility of agricultural commodities. To address these concerns this research investigates the short- and long-run relationships between agricultural commodity and fuel markets, and finds interdependencies between the two. The causal linkage between biodiesel and soybean prices is very weak, indicating little likelihood of biodiesel triggering another food crisis. In contrast, oil price shocks have major influence on both fuel and agricultural commodity prices.

description: According to the USDA National Nutrient Database for bison, the bison nutrient benefits include higher protein level, lower calories, lower fat, and lower cholesterol compared to various commercial meats, like skinless-chicken, beef, pork, lamb, and salmon. This study investigates how consumers evaluate fresh ground bison in terms of their willingness to pay. Results show that the variation of consumer knowledge on bison nutrition contributes to different levels of willingness to pay. Implications from this study suggest enhancing consumers’ knowledge of bison products would increase the sale of bison products.

description: During the financial downturn of 2008, asset classes that investors traditionally found to have low correlation with U.S. stocks became more highly correlated at the most inopportune time. Post-downturn, investors increasingly looked for alternative assets that offer diversification benefits, one of which being farmland. One of the challenges of investing in farmland is that the asset is not a securitized, low-cost investment. The current research investigates the whether exposure to farmland via an index of agribusiness stocks provides significant diversification benefits. We estimated the dependence between daily returns of the S&P 500 and an index of agribusiness stocks from 1970 through 2008 using copulas. We find significant evidence that agribusiness stocks have strong lower tail dependence with large U.S. stocks and are actually less correlated in the upper tail of the distribution. Meaning, the agribusiness index moves in near lockstep with U.S. stocks in downturns and more independently in large upswings. This provides little evidence to support the investment strategy of purchasing agribusiness stocks broadly to gain exposure to farmland.
Perturbation approach to the Casimir force between two bodies made of different real metals

description: The Casimir force acting between two test bodies made of different metals is considered. The finiteness of the conductivity of the metals is taken into account perturbatively up to the fourth order of the relative penetration depths of electromagnetic zero-point oscillations into the metals. The influence of nonzero temperature is computed explicitly for separate orders of perturbation and found to be important in the zeroth and first orders only. The configurations of two parallel plates and a sphere (spherical lens) above a plate are considered made of $Au$ and $Cr$. The obtained results can be used to take into account also the surface roughness. Thus, the total amount of the Casimir force between different metals with all correction factors is determined. This may be useful in various applications.
