description: We present a second-order Green's-function theory of the one- and two-dimensional S=1/2 ferromagnet in a magnetic field based on a decoupling of three-spin operator products, where vertex parameters are introduced and determined by exact relations. The transverse and longitudinal spin correlation functions and thermodynamic properties (magnetization, isothermal magnetic susceptibility, specific heat) are calculated self-consistently at arbitrary temperatures and fields. In addition, exact diagonalizations on finite lattices and, in the one-dimensional case, exact calculations by the Bethe-ansatz method for the quantum transfer matrix are performed. A good agreement of the Green's-function theory with the exact data, with recent quantum Monte Carlo results, and with the spin polarization of a $ν=1$ quantum Hall ferromagnet is obtained. The field dependences of the position and height of the maximum in the temperature dependence of the susceptibility are found to fit well to power laws, which are critically analyzed in relation to the recently discussed behavior in Landau's theory. As revealed by the spin correlation functions and the specific heat at low fields, our theory provides an improved description of magnetic short-range order as compared with the random phase approximation. In one dimension and at very low fields, two maxima in the temperature dependence of the specific heat are found. The Bethe-ansatz data for the field dependences of the position and height of the low-temperature maximum are described by power laws. At higher fields in one and two dimensions, the temperature of the specific heat maximum linearly increases with the field.

description: This paper presents a conceptual model for considering the tradeoffs between technical assistance and public-welfare assistance for impoverished limited-resource farmers. The hypothesis is that a combination of technical assistance and welfare assistance will be more cost-effective than welfare assistance alone. For a sample of 120 limited-resource farmers in the Appalachian region of Eastern Kentucky, some on welfare assistance, the potential effect of technical assistance on public-revenue accounts is evaluated.

description: Tauer's Target MOTAD model can be used to compute stochastically efficient mixtures of risky alternatives. This paper suggests a way of describing the complete set of Target MOTAD solutions. It also presents an efficient method for determining the set of solutions. Hazell's example is used to illustrate these ideas.

description: We study the number of solutions of the general semigroup equation in one variable, $X^\al=X^\be$, as well as of the system of equations $X^2=X, Y^2=Y, XY=YX$ in $H\wr T_n$, the wreath product of an arbitrary finite group $H$ with the full transformation semigroup $T_n$ on $n$ letters. For these solution numbers, we provide explicit exact formulae, as well as asymptotic estimates. Our results concerning the first mentioned problem generalize earlier results by Harris and Schoenfeld (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 3 (1967), 122-135) on the number of idempotents in $T_n$, and a partial result of Dress and the second author (Adv. in Math. 129 (1997), 188-221). Among the asymptotic tools employed are Hayman's method for the estimation of coefficients of analytic functions and the Poisson summation formula.

description: Characterized by bulk Dirac or Weyl cones and surface Fermi-arc states, topological semimetals have sparked enormous research interest in recent years. The nanostructures, with large surface-to-volume ratio and easy field-effect gating, provide ideal platforms to detect and manipulate the topological quantum states. Exotic physical properties originating from these topological states endow topological semimetals attractive for future topological electronics (topotronics). For example, the linear energy dispersion relation is promising for broadband infrared photodetectors, the spin-momentum locking nature of topological surface states is valuable for spintronics, and the topological superconductivity is highly desirable for fault-tolerant qubits. For real-life applications, topological semimetals in the form of nanostructures are necessary in terms of convenient fabrication and integration. Here, we review the recent progresses in topological semimetal nanostructures and start with the quantum transport properties. Then topological semimetal-based electronic devices are introduced. Finally, we discuss several important aspects that should receive great effort in the future, including controllable synthesis, manipulation of quantum states, topological field effect transistors, spintronic applications, and topological quantum computation.

Abstract
Treatment for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection, a leading cause of peptic ulcer disease and an important risk factor for gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, is indicated whenever infection is identified. However, treatment success rates with current guideline-recommended proton-pump inhibitor (PPI)-based regimens remain suboptimal, with one potential factor associated with treatment failure being inadequate acid suppression. Vonoprazan (Voquezna®) is a first-in-class potassium-competitive acid blocker with the potential to provide potent and sustained acid suppression. Following clinical trials conducted mainly in Asia (supported by post-marketing experience from Asia) and the phase III PHALCON-HP trial conducted in the USA and Europe, vonoprazan is now approved in the USA for use in combination with amoxicillin (dual therapy) or amoxicillin and clarithromycin (triple therapy) for the treatment of H. pylori infection in adults. The vonoprazan-based dual and triple therapy regimens were generally well tolerated in PHALCON-HP. In addition, vonoprazan has advantages including a rapid onset of action and no food effect, making vonoprazan-based dual and triple therapy regimens valuable alternatives to standard PPI-based triple therapy in the treatment of H. pylori infection.

description: Multisensor fusion of air pollutant data in smart buildings remains an important input to address the well-being and comfort perceived by their inhabitants. An integrated sensing system is part of a smart building where real-time indoor air quality data are monitored round the clock using sensors and operating in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) environment. In this work, we propose an air quality management system merging indoor air quality index (IAQI) and humidex into an enhanced indoor air quality index (EIAQI) by using sensor data on a real-time basis. Here, indoor air pollutant levels are measured by a network of waspmote sensors while IAQI and humidex data are fused together using an extended fractional-order Kalman filter (EFKF). According to the obtained EIAQI, overall air quality alerts are provided in a timely fashion for accurate prediction with enhanced performance against measurement noise and nonlinearity. The estimation scheme is implemented by using the fractional-order modeling and control (FOMCON) toolbox. A case study is analysed to prove the effectiveness and validity of the proposed approach.

description: We define the_hive ring_, which has a basis indexed by dominant weights for GL(n), and structure constants given by counting hives [KT1] (or equivalently honeycombs, or Berenstein-Zelevinsky patterns [BZ1]). We use the octahedron rule from [Robbins-Rumsey,Fomin-Zelevinsky,Propp,Speyer] to prove bijectively that this "ring" is indeed associative. This, and the Pieri rule, give a self-contained proof that the hive ring is isomorphic as a ring-with-basis to the representation ring of GL(n). In the honeycomb interpretation, the octahedron rule becomes "scattering" of the honeycombs. This recovers some of the "crosses and wrenches" diagrams from the very recent preprint [S], whose results we use to give a closed form for the associativity bijection.

description: The integrated colors of distant galaxies provide a means for interpreting the properties of their stellar content. Here, we use rest-frame UV-to-optical colors to constrain the spectral-energy distributions and stellar populations of color-selected, B-dropout galaxies at z ~ 4 in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey. We combine the ACS data with ground-based near-infrared images, which extend the coverage of galaxies at z ~ 4 to the rest-frame B-band. We observe a color-magnitude trend in the rest-frame m(UV) - B versus B diagram for the z ~ 4 galaxies that has a fairly well-defined "blue-envelope", and is strikingly similar to that of color-selected, U-dropout galaxies at z ~ 3. We also find that although the co-moving luminosity density at rest-frame UV wavelengths (1600 Angstroms) is roughly comparable at z ~ 3 and z ~ 4, the luminosity density at rest-frame optical wavelengths increases by about one-third from z ~ 4 to z ~ 3. Although the star-formation histories of individual galaxies may involve complex and stochastic events, the evolution in the global luminosity density of the UV-bright galaxy population corresponds to an average star-formation history with a star-formation rate that is constant or increasing over these redshifts. This suggests that the evolution in the luminosity density corresponds to an increase in the stellar-mass density of more than 33%.

description: In times of globalization and digitalization, silo mentality and protectionism lead to competitive disadvantages for all partners of a production network. High scrap rates and low supplier margins in the production of high-precision products can be identified as resulting inefficiencies. Supply chain collaboration can contribute to significantly increase product quality by simultaneously reducing the associated costs, globally. We introduce batch allocation as a data-driven method for cross-company quality control of differing component batches based on both, supplier data and internal data. The industrial application is demonstrated within a global production network for manufacturing high-precision products.

description: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At 15 years old, specialty coffee is a relatively new sub-sector of Rwanda’s long-standing coffee industry. As such, structures and policies to maximize coffee quality are still evolving and have room for improvement. The problem examined in this report includes the obstacles preventing the sector from reaching the Government of Rwanda’s (GOR’s) stated goal of 80 percent high quality coffee coffee instead of only 55 percent, (the status quo in 2017). The approach used by the author is to demonstrate and quantify the effects of not reaching the quality targets from three perspectives: that of the producer, the exporter, and the GOR. The models indicate that producers lost 125 RWF/kg cherry sold in the time period considered, exporters had 43 percent lower profits than might have been possible, and the country missed an estimated $2.6 million in foreign exchange, just in 2016. The damage from potato taste defect is estimated at $.30 - $2.00 per pound FOB for exported green coffee, depending on the quality level.* These estimated, unrealized gains provide the impetus to examine possible solutions. Five case studies of exemplary East African coffee organizations give concrete examples of how some cooperatives and private companies have invested to improve cherry purchasing practices and improve quality. At the end, marketing and policy recommendations are offered to support further increases in the value of Rwanda’s coffee. * Potato taste defect is a taste defect occurring in coffee in Rwanda’s region. It creates a musty, vegetal taste, like a raw potato, in the brewed coffee.

description: On the basis of a simple exactly solvable model we discuss the possibilities for state preparation and state control of atoms in a periodic optical potential. In addition to the periodic potential a uniform force with an arbitrary time dependence is applied. The method is based on a formal expression for the full evolution operator in the tight-binding limit. This allows us to describe the dynamics in terms of operator algebra, rather than in analytical expansions.

description: Two advantageous roles of the influence of measurement on a system subject to coherent control are exposed using a five-level model system. In particular, a continuous measurement of the population in a branch state in the Kobrak-Rice extended stimulated Raman adiabatic passage scheme is shown to provide a powerful means for controlling the population transfer branching ratio between two degenerate target states. It is demonstrated that a measurement with a large strength may be used to completely shut off the yield of one target state and that the same measurement with a weak strength can dramatically enhance the robustness of the controlled branching ratio against dephasing.

Rwanda’s coffee input distribution system is organized such that an industry group—the Coffee Exporters and Processors Association of Rwanda (CEPAR)—takes a fee from exported coffee and uses it to purchase bulk fertilizer and pesticide. CEPAR works with local actors to distribute inputs based on how many trees farmers have. This report uses a farmer survey and qualitative data to examine who receives inputs and at what volumes, and propose policy alternatives based on findings. Findings from Research Between 2015 and 2017, Rwanda’s coffee fertilizer and pesticide distribution system improved in its ability to reach farmers. The proportion of farmers receiving inputs increased, and gaps in terms of who receives inputs and at what volumes narrowed. However, several types of farmers remained less likely to receive inputs than others, or received lower quantities. Below find a summary of findings. In 2015, 69.4 percent of farmers used distributed fertilizer and 68.1 percent used pesticide. By 2017, this had increased to 79.3 percent for fertilizer and 74.0 percent for pesticide. Overall volume of inputs per coffee tree remains low, with farmers receiving approximately ¼ of the recommended dosage per tree of fertilizer and ½ of the recommended dosage of pesticide (TechnoServe n.d.; Rukazambuga 2018). Gaps remain in access to distributed pesticide; all else equal, women are around 39 percent less likely than men to receive pesticide. All else equal, older farmers receive less distributed fertilizer per tree than younger farmers. Non-cooperate members also receive less fertilizer per tree than cooperative members. Policy Alternatives We present alternatives based on findings derived from surveys, interviews, and workshops. Policy alternatives support three goals: (1) ensure all eligible coffee farmers receive inputs; (2) increase volume of inputs available to farmers; and (3) cost-effectively boost productivity through input use.

description: Because aflatoxin, a naturally occurring mycotoxin (fungal toxin) in maize and nuts, is known to cause liver cancer in humans, strategies to reduce aflatoxin in food are critical. Although fumonisin, another mycotoxin in maize, has not been conclusively linked to any human diseases, it can cause multiple adverse effects in other animal species and has been implicated in neural tube defects and growth impairment in human children. In this study, we examined the impact of lactic acid fermentation – a food processing method that has been used for possibly millennia in human populations – to decrease levels of aflatoxin and fumonisin in maize products in Nigeria. Our study showed that the mean total aflatoxin levels in processed maize samples (after lactic acid fermentation) were lower but not significantly different from mean levels in the raw maize product. Furthermore, even after processing, the mean total aflatoxin level in the samples of the final processed product was higher than the maximum acceptable limit shared by Nigeria and the European Union of 4µg/kg. However, we find strong evidence that lactic acid fermentation significantly reduced the mean levels of total fumonisins. Thus, while lactic acid fermentation can improve the food safety profile of maize, other strategies such as low initial levels in maize grain are likely necessary to guarantee a safe final product.

description: Most climate change adaptation studies in agriculture focus on staple food crops. Few studies have examined livestock farmers in Africa and even fewer have considered small animals such as poultry. Heat stress associated with climate change is a challenge to poultry farmers due to its negative effect on chicken growth and productivity. As the poultry subsector across Africa expands to meet changing consumption patterns, understanding how farmers deal with the realities of poultry production due to climate change is critical. This study explores the level and determinants of the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies among poultry farmers in Nigeria. A multivariate probit analysis reveals that poultry farmers practice climate change adaptation strategies with a clear heterogeneity of strategies at different production scales. Small farms tend to invest in traditional strategies such as the stocking of local breeds while medium and large farms adopt modern technologies such as air and water ventilation and the use of bulbs that emit less heat. Our study finds that farmers who have experienced heat related losses are more likely to adopt modern practices and more likely to adopt multiple adaptation strategies at a time.

description: A novel method to extract the $B(E1)$ strength of a weakly bound nucleus from experimental Coulomb dissociation data is proposed. The method makes use of continuum discretized coupled channels (CDCC) calculations, in which both nuclear and Coulomb forces are taken into account to all orders. This is a crucial advantage with respect to the standard procedure based on the Equivalent Photon Method (EPM) which does not properly take into account nuclear distortion, higher order coupling effects, or Coulomb-nuclear interference terms. The procedure is applied to the $^{11}$Be nucleus using two sets of available experimental data at different energies, for which seemingly incompatible $B(E1)$ have been reported using the EPM. We show that the present procedure gives consistent $B(E1)$ strengths, thus solving the aforementioned long-standing discrepancy between the two measurements.

description: In the present work, experimental density (ρ) and speed of sound (u) data for the binary mixtures of benzyl alcohol with acetic acid, propionic acid, and n-butyric acid have been reported over the complete range of mole fraction at 298.15 K ≤ T ≤ 313.15 K. Excess volumes (VE), excess isentropic compressibilities (κsE), excess partial molar volumes (Vi‾E), and excess partial molar volumes at infinite dilution (Vi‾E,∞) have been computed from the experimental data. The excess thermodynamic properties are found to be negative over the entire range of composition at the investigated temperatures. The temperature dependence of the excess thermodynamic properties has been investigated. All the excess functions are correlated with the Redlich-Kister equation. Further, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra for the studied binary solutions have been recorded at the equimolar composition to evaluate the extent of cross-association between component molecules through intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

description: Urophonius iheringi Pocock 1893 (Bothriuridae)
 Urophonius jheringii Pocock 1893: 101; Acosta 1988: 28. Original spelling, deemed to be incorrect because of prevailing usage of the spelling iheringi.
 Urophonius iheringi: Mello­Leitão 1931: 99. Subsequent spelling, deemed to be correct because of more widespread use.
 Pocock (1893) named Urophonius Jheringii honoring the German zoologist H. von Ihering, which he spelled 'Jhering'. Without resource of an external evidence, it should be assumed that Pocock believed that this was the correct spelling of the person. The species remained in the synonymy of Urophonius brachycentrus (Thorell 1877a) for more than 30 years (Lowe & Fet 2000), and in that period, when mentioned, the original spelling was used in some occasions (Pocock 1898, Kraepelin 1899), while in others the initial letter was corrected to Iheringii (Kraepelin 1894). Mello­Leitão (1931) revalidated the name, spelling it as iheringi (note the single i genitive instead of double ii). There is no statement that renders Kraepelin's (1894) or Mello­Leitão's (1931) actions as emendations, so they fit within the category of incorrect subsequent spellings. The usage of the name shows that authors widely adopted the corrected version of the name, iheringi. From 1931 to 1996 most authors followed Mello­Leitão. Lowe & Fet (2000) list 16 citations for iheringi, made by seven authors in that period, while only Acosta (1988) reinstated the original spelling. Since the spelling iheringi is in prevailing usage, it is to be maintained as the 'correct spelling' (Arts. 33.3.1 and 33.4). Lowe & Fet (2000) adopted iheringii as valid, but the prevaling usage also affects the modification of the genitive (correct ending with a single i).

description: NMR, EPR and magnetization measurements in Na$_x$CoO$_2$ for $0.65\leq x\leq 0.75$ are presented. While the EPR signal arises from Co$^{4+}$ magnetic moments ordering at $T_c\simeq 26$ K, $^{59}$Co NMR signal originates from cobalt nuclei in metallic regions with no long range magnetic order and characterized by a generalized susceptibility typical of strongly correlated metallic systems. This phase separation in metallic and magnetic insulating regions is argued to occur below $T^*(x)$ ($220 - 270$ K). Above $T^*$ an anomalous decrease in the intensity of the EPR signal is observed and associated with the delocalization of the electrons which for $T
