description: Based on the UrQMD model, we have investigated the influence of the symmetry potential on the negatively and positively charged $π$ and $Σ$ hyperon production ratios in heavy ion collisions at the SIS energies. We find that, in addition to $π^-/π^+$ ratio, the $Σ^-/Σ^+$ ratio can be taken as a sensitive probe for investigating the density dependence of the symmetry potential of nuclear matter at high densities (1-4 times of normal baryon density). This sensitivity of the symmetry potential to both the $π^-/π^+$ and $Σ^-/Σ^+$ ratios is found to depend strongly on the incident beam energy. Furthermore, the $Σ^-/Σ^+$ ratio is shown to carry the information about the isospin-dependent part of the $Σ$ hyperon single-particle potential.

description: Sensitivity analysis in chaotic dynamical systems is a challenging task from a computational point of view. In this work, we present a numerical investigation of a novel approach, known as the space-split sensitivity or S3 algorithm. The S3 algorithm is an ergodic-averaging method to differentiate statistics in ergodic, chaotic systems, rigorously based on the theory of hyperbolic dynamics. We illustrate S3 on one-dimensional chaotic maps, revealing its computational advantage over naive finite difference computations of the same statistical response. In addition, we provide an intuitive explanation of the key components of the S3 algorithm, including the density gradient function.

description: We investigate toric GLSMs as models for tachyon condensation in type II strings on space-time non-supersymmetric orbifold singularities. The A-model correlators in these theories satisfy a set of relations related to the topology of the resolved orbifold. Using these relations we compute the correlators and find a non-trivial chiral ring in the IR, which we interpret as supported on isolated Coulomb vacua of the theory.

description: A near-band-edge bluish electroluminescence (EL) band centered at around 440 nm was observed from ZnO p-i-n homojunction diodes through a semi-transparent electrode deposited on the p-type ZnO top layer. The EL peak energy coincided with the photoluminescence peak energy of an equivalent p-type ZnO layer, indicating that the electron injection from the n-type layer to the p-type layer dominates the current, giving rise to the radiative recombination in the p-type layer. The imbalance in charge injection is considered to originate from the lower majority carrier concentration in the p-type layer, which is one or two orders of magnitude lower than that in the n-type one. The current-voltage characteristics showed the presence of series resistance of several hundreds ohms, corresponding to the current spread resistance within the bottom n-type ZnO. The employment of conducting ZnO substrates may solve the latter problem.

description: We consider the loop quantum theory of the spherically symmetric model of gravity coupled to Gaussian dust fields, where the Gaussian dust fields provide a material reference frame of the space and time to deparameterize gravity. This theory, used to study the quantum features of the spherically symmetric black hole, is constructed based on a 1-dimensional lattice $γ\subset\mathbb R$. Taking advantage of the path integral formulation, we investigate the quantum dynamics and obtain an effective action. With this action, we get an effective continuous description of this quantum lattice system which is not the same as the one described by the effective Hamiltonian used in arXiv:2012.05729, i.e. the classical Hamiltonian with the holonomy correction. It turns out that the Hamiltonian derived in this paper returns that used in arXiv:2012.05729 only for macro black holes since the lattice $γ$ is required to be sufficiently fine. Indeed, it is necessary to propose this fine-grained lattice structure in order to well describe the underlying lattice theory by the continuous description.

description: Due to agriculture's increasingly complex technical and economic environment, the diversity of information required for competitive and profitable farming is growing as never before. With constant and, in some cases, reduced resources for agricultural programs, Extension must exercise special care in prioritizing informational efforts to best meet farm-client needs and retain an important base of public support. This paper presents a method of identifying popular informational priorities in Agricultural Extension. The method is illustrated by application to dairy programming in Massachusetts.

description: The demand for compact, high-speed and energy-saving circuitry urges higher efficiency of spintronic devices that can offer a viable alternative for the current electronics. The route towards this goal suggests implementing two-dimensional (2D) materials that provide large spin polarization of charge current together with the long-distance transfer of the spin information. Here, for the first time, we experimentally demonstrate a large spin polarization of the graphene conductivity ($\approx 14\%$) arising from a strong induced exchange interaction in proximity to a 2D layered antiferromagnetic. The strong coupling of charge and spin currents in graphene with high efficiency of spin current generation, comparable to that of metallic ferromagnets, together with the observation of spin-dependent Seebeck and anomalous Hall effects, all consistently confirm the magnetic nature of graphene. The high sensitivity of spin transport in graphene to the magnetization of the outermost layer of the adjacent interlayer antiferromagnet, also provides a tool to read out a single magnetic sub-lattice. The first time observations of the electrical and thermal generation of spin currents by magnetic graphene suggest it as the ultimate building block for ultra-thin magnetic memory and sensory devices, combining gate tunable spin-dependent conductivity, long-distance spin transport and spin-orbit coupling all in a single 2D material.

description: We derive a general theory for imaging by a flat lens without optical axis. We show that the condition for imaging requires a material having elliptic dispersion relations with negative group refraction, equivalent to an effective anisotropic refractive index n(theta). Imaging can be achieved with both negative (n<0) and positive (n>0) refractive indices. The Veselago-Pendry lens is a special case with isotropic negative refractive index of n(theta)=-1. Realizations of the imaging conditions using anisotropic media and inhomogeneous media, particularly photonic crystals, are discussed. Numerical examples of imaging and requirements for sub-wavelength imaging are also presented.

Notched behaviour of stitched and unstitched RFI CFRP laminates
Creators: name: Mitchell, Jason Brian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This work describes an experimental investigation of the effect of through-thickness stitching on the in-plane crack growth of Resin Film Infused (RFI) carbon fibre/epoxy laminates. Through-thickness reinforcement is a relatively recent approach to compensate for poor out-of-plane mechanical properties in laminated materials and also as a new method of joining laminated aerospace structures. The effect of Kevlar® stitching on the fracture response of RFI laminates was successfully evaluated using an overheight compact tension (OCT) specimen. It had previously been proven that this small notched geometry allows for stable self-similar damage growth (including fibre failure) in composite laminates, under controlled loading conditions. This work further analyses the usefulness of the OCT geometry. A detailed physical description of damage initiation and propagation in the process zone, (the area of discontinuous damage ahead of the notch tip) was obtained from measurements of surface displacement fields, as well as sectioning and deplying of the failed laminate. The experimental results yield valuable information that may be used to calibrate a finite element model. The fracture response of these materials was largely unaffected by stitching, except results indicate that poor control of stitch tightness during manufacturing affects the type of damage evolved. When notched perpendicular to, but loaded parallel to the stitching, 'tight' stitching does not inhibit the natural tendency of these RFI materials to delaminate, resulting in crack blunting. However, 'loose' stitching results in a more brittle response — damage grows in a self-similar manner across the specimen width, and consists of heavy fibre breakage in plies oriented to the direction of load. Tested specimens with loose stitching also exhibit significantly less delamination. Finally, the development and size of the fracture process zone was examined by comparing the experimental data and specimen compliances generated from a simple finite element model.

description: As the proportion of farm family income due to nonfarm sources continues to grow nationally, it is important to understand how farm families in various regions or states are affected. This paper develops a better understanding of the contribution of income from nonfarm sources to the level and distribution of income among farm families in New York. In analyzing income distribution, the Gini ratio is decomposed to determine the effects of marginal changes in income by source to overall inequality. The results are compared with the simulated changes in income inequality due to changes in income by source as measured by an "adjusted" Gini ratio which accounts specifically for negative farm incomes. Differences in the policy implications from both procedures are compared. The relationships among sources of income and policy implications can be brought into sharper focus by examining both measures.

description: An analysis is made of the properties and conditions for the existence of 3- and 5-isogenies of complete and quadratic supersingular Edwards curves. For the encapsulation of keys based on the SIDH algorithm, it is proposed to use isogeny of minimal odd degrees 3 and 5, which allows bypassing the problem of singular points of the 2nd and 4th orders, characteristic of 2-isogenies. A review of the main properties of the classes of complete, quadratic, and twisted Edwards curves over a simple field is given. Equations for the isogeny of odd degrees are reduced to a form adapted to curves in the form of Weierstrass. To do this, use the modified law of addition of curve points in the generalized Edwards form, which preserves the horizontal symmetry of the curve return points. Examples of the calculation of 3- and 5-isogenies of complete Edwards supersingular curves over small simple fields are given, and the properties of the isogeny composition for their calculation with large-order kernels are discussed. Equations are obtained for upper complexity estimates for computing isogeny of odd degrees 3 and 5 in the classes of complete and quadratic Edwards curves in projective coordinates; algorithms are constructed for calculating 3- and 5-isogenies of Edwards curves with complexity 6M + 4S and 12M + 5S, respectively. The conditions for the existence of supersingular complete and quadratic Edwards curves of order 4x3mx5n and 8x3mx5n are found. Some parameters of the cryptosystem are determined when implementing the SIDH algorithm at the level of quantum security of 128 bits.

description: Product attributes that determine nursery-stock sales from wholesalers to retail garden centers and landscapers were studied. Conjoint analysis was used to obtain data on buyer preferences. The data were analyzed using ordinary least squares and logit procedures to determine the attributes that are preferred by buyers. It was determined that good- to excellent-quality stock, offerings with a full line of additional plants, taller plants, and cash discounts are desirable attributes. Quality is the dominant attribute affecting preferences. Packaging the preferred attributes together significantly increases the probability of a plant being purchased by buyers.

description: In recent years, two-dimensional van der Waals materials have emerged as an important platform for the observation of long-range ferromagnetic order in atomically thin layers. Although heterostructures of such materials can be conceived to harness and couple a wide range of magneto-optical and magneto-electrical properties, technologically relevant applications require Curie temperatures at or above room-temperature and the ability to grow films over large areas. Here we demonstrate the large-area growth of single-crystal ultrathin films of stoichiometric Fe5GeTe2 on an insulating substrate using molecular beam epitaxy. Magnetic measurements show the persistence of soft ferromagnetism up to room temperature, with a Curie temperature of 293 K, and a weak out-of-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Surface, chemical, and structural characterizations confirm the layer-by-layer growth, 5:1:2 Fe:Ge:Te stoichiometric elementary composition, and single crystalline character of the films.

description: The market impacts of generic dairy advertising are assessed using an industry model which encompasses supply and demand conditions at the retail, wholesale, and farm levels, and government intervention under the dairy price support program. The estimated model is used to simulate price and quantity values for four advertising scenarios: (1) no advertising, (2) historical fluid advertising, (3) historical manufactured advertising, and (4) historical fluid and manufactured advertising. Compared to previous studies, the dairy-industry model provides additional insights into the way generic dairy advertising influences prices and quantities at the retail, wholesale, and farm levels.

description: We study in cranked Nilsson plus random phase approximation shape transitions in fast rotating nuclei undergoing backbending, more specifically 156Dy and 162Yb. We found that a backbending in 156Dy is correlated with the disappearance of the collective, positive signature gamma-vibrational mode in the rotating frame, and, a shape transition (from axial to nonaxial) is accompanied with a large acquiring of the gamma-deformation. We show that such a shape transition can be considered as a phase transition of the first order. In 162Yb the quasiparticle alignment dominates in the backbending and the shape transition (from axial to nonaxial) is accompanied with a smooth transition from zero to nonzero values of the gamma-deformation. We extend the classical Landau theory for rotating nuclei and show that the backbending in 162Yb is identified with the second order phase transition. A description of spectral and decay properties of the yrast states and low-lying excitations demonstrates a good agreement between our results and experimental data.

description: The objective of this article is to estimate historical economic surpluses for the subsectors involved in the U.S. sugar market. Annual producer and consumer surpluses were computed based on a five-equation model and 1958-87 data. In the last decade, the welfare position of cane- and beet-sugar producers has been roughly maintained, the domestic consumer surplus and the export quasi-rents to foreign countries have both declined, and quasi-rents of the corn-sweetener industry now surpass those that accrue to the cane industry and are about the same as those of the beet-sugar industry. Some policy implications are discussed.

description: We determine the structure of 1-form symmetries for all 4d $\mathcal{N} = 2$ theories that have a geometric engineering in terms of type IIB string theory on isolated hypersurface singularities. This is a large class of models, that includes Argyres-Douglas theories and many others. Despite the lack of known gauge theory descriptions for most such theories, we find that the spectrum of 1-form symmetries can be obtained via a careful analysis of the non-commutative behaviour of RR fluxes at infinity in the IIB setup. The final result admits a very compact field theoretical reformulation in terms of the BPS quiver. We illustrate our methods in detail in the case of the $(\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{g}')$ Argyres-Douglas theories found by Cecotti-Neitzke-Vafa. In those cases where $\mathcal{N} = 1$ gauge theory descriptions have been proposed for theories within this class, we find agreement between the 1-form symmetries of such $\mathcal{N} = 1$ Lagrangian flows and those of the actual Argyres-Douglas fixed points, thus giving a consistency check for these proposals.

description: Recently it was suggested that the neutrino may violate the Pauli exclusion Principle (PEP). This renews interest in the systematic search for bilinear commutation relations that could describe deviations from PEP. In the context of this search we prove a no-go theorem which forbids a finite occupancy limit for an arbitrary system with a bilinear commutation relation. In other words, either the upper limit on the occupancy number is 1 (the ordinary fermionic case) or there is no upper limit at all. Some examples of the latter class include the usual Bose statistics, as well as non-standard quon statistics and infinite statistics.

description: This article reports the results of research regarding the farm-level implications for New York dairy producers of national mandatory supply control programs for feed grains and milk. The analysis is based on the proposed Harkin-Gephardt Bill which would authorize a mandatory supply control program for milk and the major supported crops. Representative farm budgets were constructed for a sample of dairy farms to assess the possible effects on costs and returns. Some farmers would gain, while others would not. The results suggest that dairy farmers who purchase all of their feed would be worse off, while farmers who grow grain would be better off under the proposed supply control program.

With the proposed third-generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors, Einstein Telescope (ET) and Cosmic Explorer (CE), we might be able to detect evidence of a CGWB. However, to dig out these prime signals would be a difficult quest as the dominance of the astrophysical foreground from compact-binary coalescence (CBC) will mask this CGWB. In this paper, we study a subtraction-noise projection method, making it possible to reduce the residuals left after subtraction of the astrophysical foreground of CBCs, greatly improving our chances to detect a cosmological background. We carried out our analysis based on simulations of ET and CE and using posterior sampling for the parameter estimation of binary black-hole mergers. We demonstrate the sensitivity improvement of stochastic gravitational-wave searches and conclude that the ultimate sensitivity of these searches will not be limited by residuals left when subtracting the estimated BBH foreground, but by the fraction of the astrophysical foreground that cannot be detected even with third-generation instruments, or possibly by other signals not included in our analysis. We also resolve previous misconceptions of residual noise in the context of Gaussian parameter estimation.

description: The greater reliance of U.S. farm families on off-farm income has implications for the structure of agriculture and the distribution of income within agriculture. Using annual data on farm households from the Current Population Survey, the degree of income inequality for the U.S. and by region is assessed for 1984. The distribution of income among farm families is decomposed by income source. Off-farm income is shown to contribute to higher average incomes and reduce income inequality at the margin, but only in regions where full-time farming predominates. In the Northeast and South, increases in off-farm income increase regional income inequality.

description: Much experimental evidence of superluminal phenomena has been available by electromagnetic wave propagation experiments, with the results showing that the phase time do describe the barrier traversal time. Based on the extrapolated phase time approach and numerical methods, we show that, in contrary to the ordinary Bessel waves of real argument, the group velocities of modified Bessel waves are superluminal, and obtain the following results: 1) the group velocities increase with the increase of propagation distance, which is similar to the evanescent plane-wave cases; 2) for large wave numbers, the group velocities fall off as the wave numbers increase, which is similar to the evanescent plane-wave cases; 3) for small wave numbers, the group velocities increase with the increase of wave numbers, this is different from the evanescent plane-wave cases.

description: Canadian exports of fresh carrots to the United States have increased substantially in recent years. The depreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar has been a major factor. Canadian government subsidies also may have had an impact by accelerating the construction of cold storage facilities. These have permitted the marketing period to be extended. However, an analysis of costs and returns suggests that cold storage of carrots is commercially profitable. Storage capacity would probably have increased without government aid. The returns to storage and the change in exchange rates are the primary factors contributing to the expansion of Canadian exports.

description: This study evaluated implications of increased bollworm problems in a 20-county area of the Texas High Plains relative to cotton yields and economic impact. Results did not indicate a serious effect of bollworms upon lint yield when insecticides were used for control. However, estimated annual reduction in farmer profit due to the bollworm for 1979-81 was over $30 million. Yields were estimated to decline about 300,000 bales without insecticide use and about 30,000 bales with insecticide use. This decline suggests potentially serious implications for the comparative economic position of cotton in this region if insecticide resistance were to develop among insect pests.

description: Program similarity is a fundamental concept, central to the solution of software engineering tasks such as software plagiarism, clone identification, code refactoring and code search. Accurate similarity estimation between programs requires an in-depth understanding of their structure, semantics and flow. A control flow graph (CFG), is a graphical representation of a program which captures its logical control flow and hence its semantics. A common approach is to estimate program similarity by analysing CFGs using graph similarity measures, e.g. graph edit distance (GED). However, graph edit distance is an NP-hard problem and computationally expensive, making the application of graph similarity techniques to complex software programs impractical. This study intends to examine the effectiveness of graph neural networks to estimate program similarity, by analysing the associated control flow graphs. We introduce funcGNN, which is a graph neural network trained on labeled CFG pairs to predict the GED between unseen program pairs by utilizing an effective embedding vector. To our knowledge, this is the first time graph neural networks have been applied on labeled CFGs for estimating the similarity between high-level language programs. Results: We demonstrate the effectiveness of funcGNN to estimate the GED between programs and our experimental analysis demonstrates how it achieves a lower error rate (0.00194), with faster (23 times faster than the quickest traditional GED approximation method) and better scalability compared with the state of the art methods. funcGNN posses the inductive learning ability to infer program structure and generalise to unseen programs. The graph embedding of a program proposed by our methodology could be applied to several related software engineering problems (such as code plagiarism and clone identification) thus opening multiple research directions.

description: An interregional reactive programming model of the United States dairy industry is used to test the welfare implications of several dairy program changes on milk producers, milk consumers, and taxpayers. The results showed that each of the tested alternatives (price support reduction, price support reduction with frozen minimum Class I price, assessments, and production quotas) could reduce price support expenditures substantially. However, assessments reduced expenditures most effectively in terms of cost to milk producers for the United States generally while the price support reduction with frozen minimum Class I price was most efficacious in terms of cost to Southeast producers.

description: An econometric model of planted wheat acreage was estimated for five distinct production regions in the United States. This structural investigation represents an update of previous published work with specific attention given to policy program variables, weather, production cost, risk, market price influences, and program participation. Estimated results indicated regional divergence in responsiveness to government program variables. The most significant divergence occurred in the Cornbelt and Southeast - soft red winter wheat areas. Results indicate that management of the wheat program from the USDA level will contain countervailing production incentives unless these regional characteristics are taken into consideration in policy directives.

description: Financial analysis of an ethanol/electricity cogeneration plant indicates a rapid payback of investment and a high internal rate of return. This is primarily because cogeneration of steam for generation of electricity and biomass conversion to ethanol results in increased engineering efficiency compared to alternative ethanol alone production processes. Economic sensitivity testing included alternative price levels, interest rates, capacities, costs, and a "stand alone" case with no federal government excise tax subsidies. Supply and price analyses suggest the procurement of locally produced feedstock in Alabama and surrounding states is feasible. The robustness of the economic analysis provides support for consideration of ethanol cogeneration as a currently feasible strategy to utilize excess agricultural production capacity.

description: The Rice Outlook and Situation (RO&S) forecasts were compared to the forecasts of a univariate Box-Jenkins (BJ) model. On balance, the RO&S forecasts had lower mean square forecast errors and lower mean absolute forecast errors than the BJ model forecasts. The differences in the squared and absolute forecast errors were not significant, however. Based on the concept of conditional efficiency as set forth by Granger and Newbold, it was found that the BJ forecasts did not add any information that might improve forecast accuracy beyond what was already incorporated in the RO&S forecasts.
Unambiguous discrimination of special sets of multipartite states using local measurements and classical communication

description: We initially consider a quantum system consisting of two qubits, which can be in one of two nonorthogonal states, Ψ_0 or Ψ_1. We distribute the qubits to two parties, Alice and Bob. They each measure their qubit and then compare their measurement results to determine which state they were sent. This procedure is error-free, which implies that it must sometimes fail. In addition, no quantum memory is required; it is not necessary to store one of the qubits until the result of the measurement on the other is known. We consider the cases in which, should failure occur, both parties receive a failure signal or only one does. In the latter case, if the states share the same Schmidt basis, the states can be discriminated with the same failure probability as would be obtained if the two qubits were measured together. This scheme is sufficiently simple that it can be generalized to multipartite qubit and qudit states. Applications to quantum secret sharing are discussed. Finally, we present an optical scheme to experimenatlly realize the protocol in the case of two qubits.

description: Accounting techniques of farm enterprise budgeting are rarely linked to the axioms of static production theory and to capital theory. This paper illustrates how certain linkages may be established. Particular attention is given to handling problems of scale economies, optimal output levels, replacement of durable inputs, inflation, and technological change. Estimates in an illustrative budget are linked to specific points on average cost curves. Budgeting for representative farm situations is compared to budgeting for specific situations.

description: This note describes an approach for teaching undergraduate students basic properties of cost and production functions with the aid of computer-generated illustrations. Parameters of a third degree polynomial are derived by making use of both the theoretical restrictions and the specific agricultural production process. The function is then used as the basis for the development of a simple computer graphics program which generates illustrations of the corresponding MPP, AC, and MC functions. Such illustrations can be used to make technically accurate visual aids.

description: This paper examines the impacts of alternative management strategies for the production of alfalfa within the context of a total farm plan. A linear programming model is used to represent a 600-acre farm which can grow either grain crops or alfalfa. Alfalfa production competes with the grain crops for available land, labor, machinery, and field time over a calendar of tillage, plating, cutting, spraying, and harvesting activities. The profitability of an acre of alfalfa and the contribution of alfalfa to net returns for the farm varies quite widely depending on the particular alfalfa management strategy selected.
