description: Blockchain has been regarded as a promising technology for Internet of Things (IoT), since it provides significant solutions for decentralized network which can address trust and security concerns, high maintenance cost problem, etc. The decentralization provided by blockchain can be largely attributed to the use of consensus mechanism, which enables peer-to-peer trading in a distributed manner without the involvement of any third party. This article starts from introducing the basic concept of blockchain and illustrating why consensus mechanism plays an indispensable role in a blockchain enabled IoT system. Then, we discuss the main ideas of two famous consensus mechanisms including Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS), and list their limitations in IoT. Next, two mainstream Direct Acyclic Graph (DAG) based consensus mechanisms, i.e., the Tangle and Hashgraph, are reviewed to show why DAG consensus is more suitable for IoT system than PoW and PoS. Potential issues and challenges of DAG based consensus mechanism to be addressed in the future are discussed in the last.

description: Electron-positron annihilation into hadrons plus an energetic photon from initial state radiation allows the hadronic cross-section to be measured over a wide range of energies. The full next-to-leading order QED corrections for the cross-section for e^+ e^- annihilation into a real tagged photon and a virtual photon converting into hadrons are calculated where the tagged photon is radiated off the initial electron or positron. This includes virtual and soft photon corrections to the process e^+ e^- \to γ+γ^* and the emission of two real hard photons: e^+ e^- \to γ+ γ+ γ^*. A Monte Carlo generator has been constructed, which incorporates these corrections and simulates the production of two charged pions or muons plus one or two photons. Predictions are presented for centre-of-mass energies between 1 and 10 GeV, corresponding to the energies of DAPHNE, CLEO-C and B-meson factories.

description: Preferential agreements are often signed to improve relations of signatories through improved trade of products, services and the movement of citizens. These are accomplished through the removal of trade barriers, such as tariffs, through the facilitation of consultancy services and improvement in policy to encourage Foreign Direct Investment. Further, with the recent signing of the EU/ CARJFORUM Economic Partnership Agreement, the Region's policy makers are now questioning the benefits of trade agreements and are looking at areas where greater focus should be placed. It has been approximately 26 years since the CARIBCAN agreement has been signed. Given the promised benefits of preferential agreements, there should have been better performance in many product sectors which would allow for greater economic growth in the signatory countries. This paper analyzed the economic impact of the CARIBCAN Agreement between Canada and selected CARICOM member states. The industries of Meats, Grains, Fruits and Vegetables were analyzed to assess the agreement's impact on trade. The study used four trade indicators: (i) Revealed Comparative Advantage; (ii) Regional Orientation; (iii) Trade Intensity; and (iv) Trade Complementarity for the analysis. The results include the performance trends during the period 2001 to 2010, showing changes to trade and identified gains and losses to partners. Recommendations of the study can be used to inform future trade agreement negotiations and provide amendments to those currently engaged to ensure greater benefits. The study found: (i) CARICOM Comparative advantage increased for HS 0306 Crustaceans for the period 2001/10. (ii) Regional bias was found to be the highest in the trade of HS0302 Fish, fresh or chilled, to Canada. (iii)Trade Intensity from CARICOM to Canada was highest in the product groups of HS 0714 Manioc, arrowroots and salems (yams) and HS 2208 Spirits liquors. (iv)Potential for the export of HS 0302 Fish, fresh or chilled, and HS 0306 Crustaceans remained high during the years 2001/10, indicating that CARICOM did not take advantage of this market's demand.

description: Resonance energies are frequently derived from precisely measured excitation energies and reaction Q-values. The latter quantities are usually calculated from atomic instead of nuclear mass differences. This procedure disregards the energy shift caused by the difference in the total electron binding energies before and after the interaction. Assuming that the interacting nuclei in a stellar plasma are fully ionized, this energy shift can have a significant effect, considering that the resonance energy enters exponentially into the expression for the narrow-resonance thermonuclear reaction rates. As an example, the rate of the $^{36}$Ar(p,$γ$)$^{37}$K reaction is discussed, which, at temperatures below 1 GK, depends only on the contributions of a single resonance and direct capture. In this case, disregarding the energy shift caused by the total electron binding energy difference erroneously enhances the rate by $\approx$40\% near temperatures of 70 MK.

description: Increasing the efficiency of irrigation water use is critical in water-scarce countries such as Barbados. Planting in pots can ensure that most of the applied irrigation water is available exclusively to the target plant, but plant growth may be restricted due to large fluctuations in soil moisture availability and temperature, reduced rooting volume and pot drainage issues. Planting in open-ended PVC cylinders installed vertically in the field should help to ensure that applied water remains largely within the root zone of the target plant, while avoiding many of the problems associated with potted plants above the soil surface. This study assessed the effects of planting in buried PVC cylinders on water status and growth of two crop species (sweet pepper and bean) in a heavy clay soil. A split-plot experimental design was used with two main plot (height of cylinder protruding above the soil: 0 and 3 cm) and three sub-plot (buried depth of cylinder: 0, 15 and 30 cm) treatments. Cylinders (internal diameter: 16cm) were hammered into loose dry soil. Irrigation was applied as needed to supplement rainfall by manual sprinkling with a garden hose. Soil moisture status and plant growth were not significantly affected by the height of cylinder above the soil surface. As the length of buried cylinder increased, moisture content in the top 5 cm of soil within the cylinder also increased and ponding was often observed in the 30 cm cylinders. Plant growth was not significantly affected in the 15 cm cylinders but was reduced for both crops in the 30 cm cylinders. Excessive rainfall during the study period resulted in supra-optimal soil moisture conditions within the buried cylinders. Significant effects on soil penetration resistance suggested that there was soil compaction within the PVC cylinders, which was likely due to hammering during the installation process and/or swelling of soil within the cylinders on re-wetting. This approach appears to have some potential for increasing the efficiency of irrigation water use and is likely to be beneficial under low rainfall conditions with more precise water application.

description: Traditionally, aroids [dasheen (Colocasia esculenta), eddoe (Colocasia e. antiquorum), and tannia (Xanthosoma sagittifolium)] have formed the basic staples of the diets of many Caribbean people, especially the rural poor. However, the westernization of diets has had an impact on the consumption of these more traditional aroids. This is evidenced by the continued increase in the Region's food import bill, estimated at over US$4 billion in 2010 (FAO, 2011). These roots and tubers contain complex carbohydrates, are high in fibre and have a lower caloric content than the imported staples. In addition, their production is dominated by rural small farmers. This makes them good candidates for a food and nutrition security plan that supports several farm families in the Region. It is recommended that the production and consumption of the aroids should be promoted in the Region as one means of reducing the Region's dependency on imported carbohydrates, the rising food import bill, and possibly to abate some of the ill effects associated with the "nutrition transition"(Durrant, 1987). This study attempts to examine these concepts by looking at a farmers' group in St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Eastern Caribbean, which has successfully linked food and nutrition security while improving the livelihood of its farmers through the production and export of dasheen. The data shows an increasing trend in production and export over the period 2005-2010 and this impacted positively on agriculture's contribution to the country's gross domestic product.

description: We propose a microscopical theory of superconductivity in CuO$_2$ layer within the effective two-band Hubbard model in the strong correlation limit. By applying a projection technique for the matrix Green function in terms of the Hubbard operators, the Dyson equation is derived. It is proved that in the mean-field approximation d-wave superconducting pairing mediated by the conventional exchange interaction occurs. Allowing for the self-energy corrections due to kinematic interaction, a spin-fluctuation d-wave pairing is also obtained. $T\sb{c}$ dependence on the hole concentration and $\bf k$-dependence of the gap function are derived. The results show that the exchange interaction (which stems from the interband hopping) prevails over the kinematic interaction (which stems from the intraband hopping).

description: One of the remarkable features of disordered d-wave superconductors is strong sensitivity of long range properties to the microscopic realization of the disorder potential. Particularly rich phenomenology is observed for the -- experimentally relevant -- case of dilute distributions of isolated impurity centers. Building on earlier diagrammatic analyses, the present paper derives and analyses a low energy effective field theory of this system. Specifically, the results of previous diagrammatic T-matrix approaches are extended into the perturbatively inaccessible low energy regimes, and the long range (thermal) transport behaviour of the system is discussed. It turns out that in the extreme case of a half-filled tight binding band and infinitely strong impurities (impurities at the unitary limit), the system is in a delocalized phase.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper discusses Random Matrix Models which exhibit the unusual phenomena of having multiple solutions at the same point in phase space. These matrix models have gaps in their spectrum or density of eigenvalues. The free energy and certain correlation functions of these models show differences for the different solutions. Here I present evidence for the presence of multiple solutions both analytically and numerically. As an example I discuss the double well matrix model with potential $V(M)= -{μ\over 2}M^2+{g \over 4}M^4$ where $M$ is a random $N\times N$ matrix (the $M^4$ matrix model) as well as the Gaussian Penner model with $V(M)={μ\over 2}M^2-t \ln M$. First I study what these multiple solutions are in the large $N$ limit using the recurrence coefficient of the orthogonal polynomials. Second I discuss these solutions at the non-perturbative level to bring out some differences between the multiple solutions. I also present the two-point density-density correlation functions which further characterizes these models in a new university class. A motivation for this work is that variants of these models have been conjectured to be models of certain structural glasses in the high temperature phase.

description: Citrus Greening Disease is a deadly bacterial disease that affects all citrus varieties. It is rated by most national and international research institutions as the most destructive disease in citrus and to date has led to drastic reductions in production in Asia and Africa and now threatens citrus industries in the western hemisphere. Citrus Greening has been known internationally from its first description in China, as Huanglongbing (HLB), translated as "yellow shoot disease". The disease was confirmed in the Americas in Brazil in 2004. Since then, its presence has been verified in several other major citrus producing countries including: Florida / United States (2005), Cuba (2007), Mexico, Jamaica and Belize (2009). The economic cost implications of HLB have been estimated to far exceed other citrus diseases that have affected the industry in previous years. This study focused on two aspects of the Belize citrus industry: (i) the socioeconomic impact of the disease and (ii) the producers' response to the disease. The convenient sampling technique was used to enumerate stakeholders across the value chain to ascertain their experiences with the impact of the disease on the industry up to December 2011. The risk attitude and risk perception of primary (fruit) producers in the industry was evaluated by using a psychometric test. The results of the study found that the demise of the citrus industry would have negative socioeconomic impact on Belize specifically, citrus producers, agriculture workers, rural citrus producing communities and stakeholders within the citrus industry value chain. Analysis of the logistic regression focused on the significance of three variables: risk attitude (ra), risk perception (rp), and a combination of the two (risk attitude and risk perception) (rarp) on the behavioural outcome of farmers (whether to remain or exit the citrus industry). The results indicated that the variable (φ) (farmers risk perception) has a p-value of 0.030. Farmers risk perception was the only variable with a p-value below the chosen level of significance (0.05). Hence, only risk perception influenced the behavioural outcome. Despite this threat, an estimated 76% of the farmers were willing to remain in the citrus industry and deal with the challenges presented by HLB. The results also show that 49% of the farmers enumerated were risk-seeking and 66% had employed some form of management for the disease. Overall, HLB was perceived by primary stakeholders as the disease which poses the greatest risk to the citrus industry of Belize.

description: Generative Adversarial Networks have shown remarkable success in learning a distribution that faithfully recovers a reference distribution in its entirety. However, in some cases, we may want to only learn some aspects (e.g., cluster or manifold structure), while modifying others (e.g., style, orientation or dimension). In this work, we propose an approach to learn generative models across such incomparable spaces, and demonstrate how to steer the learned distribution towards target properties. A key component of our model is the Gromov-Wasserstein distance, a notion of discrepancy that compares distributions relationally rather than absolutely. While this framework subsumes current generative models in identically reproducing distributions, its inherent flexibility allows application to tasks in manifold learning, relational learning and cross-domain learning.

description: In these remarks I explain the motivation which leads us to consider chemical nonequilibrium processes in flavor equilibration and in statistical hadroniziation of quark--gluon plasma (QGP). Statistical hadronization allowing for chemical non-equilibrium is introduced. The reesults of fits to RHIC-130 results, including multistrange hadrons, are shown to agree only with the model of an exploding QGP fireball.

description: High and low temperature relaxation of crystal steps are described in a unified picture, using a continuum model based on a modified expression of the step free energy. Results are in agreement with experiments and Monte Carlo simulations of step fluctuations and monolayer cluster diffusion and relaxation. In an extended model where mass exchange with neighboring terraces is allowed, step transparency and a low temperature regime for unstable step meandering are found.

description: The Dirac approach to constrained systems can be adapted to construct relativistic invariant theories on a noncommutative (NC) space. As an example, we propose and discuss relativistic invariant NC particle coupled to electromagnetic field by means of the standard term $A^μ\dot x_μ$. Poincare invariance implies deformation of the free particle NC algebra in the interaction theory. The corresponding corrections survive in the nonrelativistic limit.

description: In its work serving the national agricultural research systems of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), ISNAR has found that limited information is available on the current status of national agricultural research plans and related official documentation. In order to identify the stated official priorities for agricultural research and development in SSA, this study reviews the situation of agricultural research planning in 48 SSA countries. Priority setting has become an integral part of research management in agriculture and natural resource management, and this report seeks to fill some of the information gap that exists concerning national priorities for agricultural research and their significance for regional priority setting. This review is presented in three parts: (1) an overview of the state of master planning in SSA as both product and process, (2) an analysis of national Research program priorities and their relation to regional priorities and networking in SSA, and (3) a listing of agricultural research planning documents in SSA.

Parity Effects in Eigenvalue Correlators, Parametric and Crossover Correlators in Random Matrix Models: Application to Mesoscopic systems

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: This paper summarizes some work I've been doing on eigenvalue correlators of Random Matrix Models which show some interesting behaviour. First we consider matrix models with gaps in there spectrum or density of eigenvalues. The density-density correlators of these models depend on whether N, where N is the size of the matrix, takes even or odd values. The fact that this dependence persists in the large N thermodynamic limit is an unusual property and may have consequences in the study of one electron effects in mesoscopic systems. Secondly, we study the parametric and cross correlators of the Harish Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber matrix model. The analytic expressions determine how the correlators change as a parameter (e.g. the strength of a perturbation in the hamiltonian of the chaotic system or external magnetic field on a sample of material) is varied. The results are relevant for the conductance fluctuations in disordered mesoscopic systems.

description: The committor function is a central object of study in understanding transitions between metastable states in complex systems. However, computing the committor function for realistic systems at low temperatures is a challenging task, due to the curse of dimensionality and the scarcity of transition data. In this paper, we introduce a computational approach that overcomes these issues and achieves good performance on complex benchmark problems with rough energy landscapes. The new approach combines deep learning, data sampling and feature engineering techniques. This establishes an alternative practical method for studying rare transition events between metastable states in complex, high dimensional systems.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: On June 30, 1953, the District Court of the Northern District of Iowa declared that fresh-dressed poultry was an exempt commodity as defined by the Motor Carrier Act of 1935 as amended. The U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed this decision, and the U. S. Supreme Court denied review of the case. Similarly, on April 23, 1956, the U. S. Supreme Court affirmed a decision of the District Court of the Southern District of Texas that both fresh and frozen dressed poultry came under the agricultural exemption clause of the above act. The result of these decisions was to exempt the interstate motor transportation of fresh and frozen poultry from economic regulation; that is, control over rates, routes, etc., by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The objectives of this study are: 1. To provide information on the volume of shipments and market distribution of fresh and frozen poultry by geographic regions and by type of carrier; 2. To provide information on different phases of service, freight rates, and equipment which would permit comparisons to be made between regulated and exempt motor carriers with respect to these particular items.
Synergic Cherenkov-Compton Radiation

description: In vacuum with an induced by strong electromagnetic wave refraction index larger than unity, an ultra-relativistic electron emits Cherenkov radiation. During the interaction with this wave the electron also radiates photons via the Compton scattering. Synergic Cherenkov-Compton process can be observed by colliding laser accelerated electrons with a high intensity electromagnetic pulse. Extremely high energy photons cannot be emitted via the Cherenkov radiation because the vacuum refraction index tends to unity at these energies. Experiments on studying these phenomena will reveal the properties of vacuum predicted by nonlinear quantum electrodynamics.

Nonlinear optical response of a gold surface in the visible range: A study by two-color sum-frequency generation spectroscopy. II. Model for metal nonlinear susceptibility

description: We present a modeling of the nonlinear optical response of a metal surface in order to account for recent experimental results from two-color Sum-Frequency Generation experiments on gold. The model allows calculating the surface and bulk contributions, and explicitly separates free and bound electron terms. Contrary to the other contributions, the perpendicular surface component is strongly model-dependent through the surface electron density profiles. We consider three electron density schemes at the surface, with free and bound electrons overlapping or spilling out of the bulk, for its calculation. The calculated SFG signals from the metal rely only on bulk quantities and do not need an explicit definition of the density profiles. In the particular case of gold, when the free electrons overlap with the bound ones or spill out of the bulk, the free electron response completely dominates through the perpendicular surface terms. When the bound electrons spill out, the situation is more balanced, still in favor of the free electrons, with lower amplitudes and different dispersion lineshapes. As for silver, the free electron contributions dominate, and the calculated slow amplitude growth from blue to red follows the experimental trends.
