description: Following retinal injury, zebrafish possess the remarkable capacity to endogenously regenerate lost retinal neurons from Müller glia-derived neuronal progenitor cells. Additionally, neuronal cell types that are undamaged and persist in the injured retina are also produced. Thus, the zebrafish retina is an excellent system to study the integration of all neuronal cell types into an existing neuronal circuit. The few studies that examined axonal/dendritic outgrowth and the establishment of synaptic contacts by regenerated neurons predominantly utilized fixed tissue samples. We recently established a flatmount culture model to monitor Müller glia nuclear migration in real time by two-photon microscopy. However, in retinal flatmounts, z-stacks of the entire retinal z-dimension have to be acquired to image cells that extend through parts or the entirety of the neural retina, such as bipolar cells and Müller glia, respectively. Cellular processes with fast kinetics might thus be missed. Therefore, we generated a retinal cross-section culture from light-damaged zebrafish to image the entire Müller glia in one z-plane. Isolated dorsal retinal hemispheres were cut into two dorsal quarters and mounted with the cross-section view facing the coverslips of culture dishes, which allowed monitoring Müller glia nuclear migration using confocal microscopy. Confocal imaging of cross-section cultures is ultimately also applicable to live cell imaging of axon/dendrite formation of regenerated bipolar cells, while the flatmount culture model will be more suitable to monitor axon outgrowth of ganglion cells.

description: In conventional spin glasses, the magnetic interaction is not strongly anisotropic and the entire spin system freezes at low temperature. In La2(Cu,Li)O4, for which the in-plane exchange interaction dominates the interplane one, only a fraction of spins with antiferromagnetic correlations extending to neighboring planes become spin-glass. The remaining spins with only in-plane antiferromagnetic correlations remain spin-liquid at low temperature. Such a novel partial spin freezing out of a spin-liquid observed in this cold neutron scattering study is likely due to a delicate balance between disorder and quantum fluctuations in the quasi-two dimensional S=1/2 Heisenberg system.

description: While baryonic feedback is one of the most important astrophysical systematics that we need to address in order to achieve precision cosmology, few weak lensing studies have directly measured its impact on the matter power spectrum. We report measurement of the baryonic feedback parameter with the constraints on its lower and upper limits from cosmic shear. We use the public data from the Kilo-Degree Survey and the VISTA Kilo-Degree Infrared Galaxy Survey spanning 450 deg$^2$. Estimating both cosmological and feedback parameters simultaneously, we obtain $A_{\rm b}=1.01_{-0.85}^{+0.80}$, which shows a consistency with the dark matter-only (DMO) case at the $\sim1.2~σ$ level and a tendency toward positive feedback; the $A_{\rm b}=0$ ($0.81$) value corresponds to the DMO (OWLS AGN) case. Despite this full constraint of the feedback parameter, our $S_8~(\equiv σ_8 \sqrt{Ω_m / 0.3})$ measurement ($0.739^{+0.036}_{- 0.035}$) shifts by only $\sim6$% of the statistical error, compared to the previous measurement. When we assume the flat $Λ$CDM cosmology favored by the Nine-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (Planck) result, the feedback parameter is constrained to be $A_{\rm b}=1.21_{-0.54}^{+0.61}$ ($1.60_{-0.52}^{+0.53}$), which excludes the DMO case at the $\sim2.2~σ$ ($\sim3.1~σ$) level.

description: We study inclusive $Λ_c^{\pm}$-baryon production in $pp$ collisions in the general-mass variable-flavor number scheme and compare with data from the LHCb, ALICE and CMS collaborations. We perform a new fit of the $c \to Λ_c^+$ fragmentation function combining $e^+e^-$ data from OPAL and Belle. The agreement with LHC data is slightly worse compared with a calculation using an older fragmentation function, and the tension between different determinations of $Λ_c^{\pm}$ production cross sections from the LHC experimental collaborations is not resolved. The ratio of data for $Λ_c^+$-baryon and $D^0$-meson production seems to violate the universality of $c$-charm quark to $c$-hadron fragmentation.

description: Many previous analyses of multifunctionality in agriculture claim there is positive jointness between the production commodities and nonmarket goods and services. Those analyses have not treated acreage as an endogenous variable. This leads to several errors in terms of the analysis of policy impacts, and hence also the policy advice. The main contribution of this paper is the development of an analytical framework where acreage is endogenously determined. This framework is then used to demonstrate that any policy that influences resource allocation also affects agricultural commodity production. Hence, there is no such thing as a fully decoupled support. The impacts on commodity markets from direct payments to environmental goods and services are, however, smaller than the distortions from policies that inflate commodity prices.

description: We consider coupled lasers, where the intensity deviations from the steady state, modulate the pump of the other lasers. Most of our results are for two lasers where the coupling constants are of opposite sign. This leads to a Hopf bifurcation to periodic output for weak coupling. As the magnitude of the coupling constants is increased (negatively) we observe novel amplitude effects such as a weak coupling resonance peak and, strong coupling subharmonic resonances and chaos. In the weak coupling regime the output is predicted by a set of slow evolution amplitude equations. Pulsating solutions in the strong coupling limit are described by discrete map derived from the original model.

description: We solve for the exact energy spectrum, 2-point and 4-point functions of the complex SYK model, in the double scaling limit at all energy scales. This model has a $U(1)$ global symmetry. The analysis shows how to incorporate a chemical potential in the chord diagram picture, and we present results for the various observables also at a given fixed charge sector. In addition to matching to the spectral asymmetry, we consider an analogous asymmetry measure of the 2-point function obeying a non-trivial dependence on the operator's dimension. We also provide the chord diagram structure for an SYK-like model that has a $U(M)$ global symmetry at any disorder realization. We then show how to exactly compute the effect of inserting very heavy operators, with formally infinite conformal dimension. The latter separate the gravitational spacetime into several parts connected by an interface, whose properties are exactly computable at all scales. In particular, light enough states can still go between the spaces. This behavior has a simple description in the chord diagram picture.

description: We introduce a simple cellular-network model to explain the capacity of the plants as memory devices. Following earlier observations (Bose \cite{Bose} and others), we regard the plant as a network in which each of the elements (plant cells) are connected via negative (inhibitory) interactions. To investigate the performance of the network, we construct a model following that of Hopfield, whose energy function possesses both Hebbian spin glass and anti-ferromagnetic terms. With the assistance of the replica method, we find that the memory state of the network decreases enormously due to the effect of the anti-ferromagnetic order induced by the inhibitory connections. We conclude that the ability of the plant as a memory device is rather weak.

description: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have two key deficiencies, their dependence on high precision computing and their inability to perform sequential learning, that is, when a DNN is trained on a first task and the same DNN is trained on the next task it forgets the first task. This phenomenon of forgetting previous tasks is also referred to as catastrophic forgetting. On the other hand a mammalian brain outperforms DNNs in terms of energy efficiency and the ability to learn sequentially without catastrophically forgetting. Here, we use bio-inspired Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP)in the feature extraction layers of the network with instantaneous neurons to extract meaningful features. In the classification sections of the network we use a modified synaptic intelligence that we refer to as cost per synapse metric as a regularizer to immunize the network against catastrophic forgetting in a Single-Incremental-Task scenario (SIT). In this study, we use MNIST handwritten digits dataset that was divided into five sub-tasks.

description: Beam-helicity asymmetries for the gamma+p -> pi+ + pi- + p reaction have been measured for center-of-mass energies between 1.35 GeV and 2.30 GeV at Jefferson Lab with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer using circularly polarized tagged photons. The beam-helicity asymmetries vary with kinematics and exhibit strong sensitivity to the dynamics of the reaction, as demonstrated in the comparison of the data with results of various phenomenological model calculations. These models currently do not provide an adequate description of the data over the entire kinematic range covered in this experiment. Additional polarization observables are accessible in an upcoming experiment at Jefferson Lab with polarized beam and target.

description: Stephen Davies distinguishes two kinds of musical works: works for performance and works that are not for performance. He argues that electroacoustic music belongs to the latter kind. I will question this distinction by considering the case of electroacoustic music. Granted that electroacoustic music is played in concert, is this a case of presentation of a musical work, as Davies holds? I will argue that the musical act of sound engineers can be seen as an interpretative activity. I will try to understand the object of this interpretation, proposing a possible reformulation of Davies' categorisation.

description: In der deutschen Landwirtschaft ist die Bedeutung der Pacht von landwirtschaftlichen Nutzflächen zunehmend gestiegen, so dass immer mehr Betriebe von den Entwicklungen auf dem Landpachtmarkt beeinflusst werden. Besonders in Zeiten stark schwankender Erzeugerpreise und Erträge stellen die traditionellen Pachtverträge mit fixiertem Pachtpreis ein Risiko für die Landwirte dar. Zu Höchstpreisen abgeschlossene Pachtverträge können bei sinkenden Erzeugerpreisen und steigenden Produktionskosten schnell zu Liquiditätsengpässen führen. Aus diesem Grund werden in dieser Arbeit die grundsätzlichen Möglichkeiten der flexiblen Pachtpreisanpassung vorgestellt und im Wege einer Ex-post-Analyse auf ihre Praxistauglichkeit aus Sicht der Pächter wie auch der Verpächter beleuchtet.

description: The paper analyzes the relationship between the allocation of labor and land of the households, the number of crops grown and the number of income sources of the households with different types of shocks and risks. It uses the data from the first phase of the household survey in three provinces of Central of Vietnam, conducted within the scope of the DFG research project “Impact of shocks on the vulnerability to poverty: consequences for development of emerging Southeast Asian economies”. The results suggest that the households diversify their portfolio (labor and land) into different income generating activities in order to cope with shocks. Among the different types of shocks and risks, agriculture and economic shocks and risks are the main factors to explain the (ex-post) risk-coping strategies and the (ex-ante) risk management of the households. The number of crops grown and the number of income sources from the households experienced with shocks are higher than others. In addition, the high-risk expectation households diversify their labor and land more than the low risk expectation households. The access to credit and market, the number of household labor, the education of the household head, and the wealth of the household are also very important factors that impact on the diversification level of the households.

description: Landwirte wechseln oft nicht von ihrer Hausbank zu einer anderen Bank, auch wenn diese bessere Konditionen bietet. Diese „Wechselträgheit“ kann zum einen in den Transaktionskosten des Wechsels begründet sein. Zum anderen kann sie aber auch das Ergebnis begrenzt rationalen Entscheidungsverhaltens sein. Die Analyse der Befragungsergebnisse einer Gruppe norddeutscher Landwirte zeigt, dass diese tatsächlich begrenzt rational sind. Sie unterschätzen den geldwerten Nachteil, der ihnen durch höhere Darlehenszinsen der Hausbank entsteht. Anders ausgedrückt: Sie wechseln nicht die Bank, auch wenn die von ihnen subjektiv wahrgenommenen Wechselkosten schon längst durch den geringeren Effektivzins eines Alternativangebotes „gedeckt“ sind. Damit lässt sich schlussfolgern, dass Landwirte ihre Entscheidungen besser an ihren jeweiligen Präferenzen ausrichten können, wenn sie durch Anwendung finanzmathematischer Kenntnisse den ökonomischen Vor- oder Nachteil verschiedener Finanzierungsangebote zutreffender einschätzen. Banken, die mit objektiv günstigeren Konditionen werben, sollten ihr Marketingkonzept dahingehend anpassen, dass sie neben dem Effektivzinsvorteil auch den absoluten Kostenvorteil kommunizieren.

description: Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die regionalen Wohlfahrtseffekte der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik (GAP) und erlaubt eine Analyse der verschiedenen Förderpolitiken. Dazu wird die gemeinschaftlich finanzierte Agrarpolitik einer äquivalenten Agrarpolitik bei nationaler Finanzierung gegenübergestellt. Zu diesem Zweck wird ein theoretisches Analysemodell erstellt, um die Transfers bzw. die Finanzierungsbeiträge der Regionen zu untersuchen. Mit Hilfe des Analysemodells wird gezeigt, welche Wohlfahrtseffekte die gemeinschaftliche Finanzierung der verschiedenen Agrarpolitiken haben. Als Agrarpolitiken werden dabei die Zahlungen der ersten Säule, die Zahlungen der zweiten Säule und die Marktpreispolitiken von 2000 bis 2006 untersucht. Als Untersuchungsregion dient das Bundesland Hessen bzw. dienen die Gemeinden des Bundeslandes Hessen. Die Analyse zeigt, dass die gemeinschaftliche Finanzierung im Vergleich zu einer nationalen Finanzierung der Agrarpolitiken für die erste Säule Wohlfahrtsverluste sowie für die Marktpreispolitiken und für die zweite Säule Wohlfahrtsgewinne generiert. Zudem zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass die regionale Verteilung der Nettotransferzahlungen in Hessen ein großes Nord-Süd-Gefälle aufweist.

Ils refont donc l’histoire en situant les faits à l’époque de saint Patrice. En réalité, l’Eglise a progressivement développé son propre droit, qui ne va pas manquer d’entrer en conflit avec les règles coutumières vernaculaires. Car la nouvelle religion se diffuse dans une société qui ne tourne pas pour autant le dos à sa tradition juridique, véhiculée par les poètes-juges. Se pose alors la question de la place tenue par chacun des deux droits.

We extend the framework to allow for randomized knowledge algorithms. We then characterize the information provided by a randomized knowledge algorithm when its answers have some probability of being incorrect. We formalize this information in terms of evidence; a randomized knowledge algorithm returning ``Yes'' to a query about a fact ϕprovides evidence for ϕbeing true. Finally, we discuss the extent to which this evidence can be used as a basis for decisions.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the spatio-temporal trends of skin lesions on the Welsh dolphins for the period 2001-14 using photo-ID techniques, mainly in Cardigan Bay in Wales. Data for this time series were obtained by Sea Watch Foundation including my own field field work (boat-based surveys). In order to estimate the abundance and the density of the populations, line transects involving “Distance” sampling and opportunistic photo-ID using mark-recapture techniques were combined during dedicated surveys . Multivariate analysis was applied sing PRIMER v.6 (Clarke & Warwick, 2001) in order to check how the prevalence of each type of lesion cluster varied over the period 2001-14. The Spearman coefficient correlation was used to check for possible relationships between the prevalence of the different skin lesions in the overall population, but also to test for relationships between the prevalence of the different skin lesion types that were found to affect the calves and the adults (following Wilson et al., 1999). One way Anova and Kruskal Wallis were used to examine the differences in prevalence of different skin lesion types among the different age groups. Similar methodology was used to test the prevalence of the different skin lesion categories between the different body areas affected by them and between the different genders (following Wilson et al., 1997). Also, Tukey post hoc test was used to determine variations in the prevalence of different lesion types among the different body areas, age and sex groups (following Wilson et al., 1997). The same methodology was also applied in order to test whether there were significant differences in the prevalence of different skin lesions between resident, transient and visitors individuals of the population. A χ2 test of independence was applied in order to investigate possible relationship between the residency of individuals and skin lesion prevalence (following Hart et al., 2012). In order to investigate if the prevalence of skin lesions was related to environmental factors a χ2 test of independence was performed (following Hart et al., 2012). Monthly SST values from Cardigan Bay were examined to investigate whether there was any relationship to the prevalence of dermal lesions among the dolphins.

description: Our location model aims to simulate location decisions for biogas plants based on profit maximisation to generate regional demand functions for maize and corresponding plant size structure and transport distances. By linking it with an agricultural sector model we derived regional maize markets. Comparing results for the REA with a scenario applying uniform per unit subsidy and producing the same energy, we see higher subsidy costs with the REA but lower transportation distances.

description: Mit der Wasserrahmenrichtlinie hat die EU einen juristischen Rahmen geschaffen, alle aquatischen Ökosysteme, zu denen auch die Grundwasserkörper gehören, zu schützen. Diese vornehmlich auf den Wasserschutz abzielende Maßnahme zieht neben klaren Vorteilen für den Wasserhaushalt und die -versorger möglicherweise auch Vor- wie Nachteile für landwirtschaftliche Betriebe wie landwirtschaftlich geprägte Regionen nach sich. Mit dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird untersucht, welche regionalen Effekte eine verminderte Beregnung für eine der am stärksten von Trockenheit betroffenen Regionen Nordostniedersachsen besitzen würde. Mit Hilfe des Regionalmodels „POMMARD“ wurden die regionalen Effekte (a) einer Halbierung des verfügbaren Beregnungswassers sowie (b) eines vollständigen Verzichts auf Beregnung projiziert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine Beschränkung der Wasserentnahmeerlaubnisse schwach negative Konsequenzen für die Region besitzt. Der vollständige Verzicht auf Beregnung dagegen hat deutliche Auswirkungen sowohl auf den Agrarsektor als auch auf die regionale Entwicklung. Die Wasserrahmenrichtlinie kann deshalb bei sachgerechter Festlegung der Entnahmemengen für Feldberegnung als eine Möglichkeit gesehen werden, die Wassernutzungseffizienz zu erhöhen und gleichzeitig natürliche Ressourcen zu schonen.

description: The present resonant x-ray scattering from each of monoclinically-split single domains of NaV2O5 has critically enhanced contrast between V4+ and V5+ ions strong enough to lead to unambiguous conclusion of the charge-order pattern of its low-temperature phase below Tc = 35 K. The zig-zag type charge-order patterns in the $ab$-plane previously confirmed have four kinds of configurations (A, A', B and B') and the stacking sequence along the c-axis is determined as the AAA'A' type by comparison with model calculations. By assigning the A and A' configurations to Ising spins, one can reasonably understand the previously discovered "devil's staircase"-type behavior with respect to the modulation of the layer-stacking sequences at high pressures and low temperatures, which very well resembles the global phase diagram theoretically predicted by the ANNNI model.

ALE spaces from noncommutative U(1) instantons via exact Seiberg-Witten map

description: The exact Seiberg-Witten (SW) map of a noncommutative (NC) gauge theory gives the commutative equivalent as an ordinary gauge theory coupled to a field dependent effective metric. We study instanton solutions of this commutative equivalent whose self-duality equation turns out to be the exact SW map of NC instantons. We derive general differential equations governing U(1) instantons and we explicitly get an exact solution corresponding to the single NC instanton. Remarkably the effective metric induced by the single U(1) instanton is related to the Eguchi-Hanson metric - the simplest gravitational instanton. Surprisingly the instanton number is not quantized but depends on an integration constant. Our result confirms the expected non-perturbative breakdown of the SW map. However, the breakdown of the map arises in a consistent way: The instanton number plays the role of a parameter giving rise to a one-parameter family of Eguchi-Hanson metrics.

description: Die Fleischwirtschaft steht zunehmend im Fokus der öffentlichen Diskussion. Die Unternehmen der Branche verhalten sich dabei eher passiv. Die Distanz zwischen Gesellschaft und der Fleischwirtschaft ist in den vergangenen Jahren daher größer geworden. Anzeichen für die mangelnde Akzeptanz sind z. B. Initiativen gegen Bauvorhaben, ein geringes Vertrauen und ein steigender Vegetarieranteil. Um Rückschlüsse auf das gesamte Ausmaß dieser Problematik zu gewinnen, wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit die Reputation der Fleischwirtschaft umfassend untersucht. Unter Verwendung der Partial Least Squares Methode (PLS) werden Einfluss- und Erklärungsgrößen analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Interesse und Wissen über die Branche insgesamt eher gering sind. Hierin begründet sich möglicherweise der hohe Einfluss der affektiven Dimensionen Zuverlässigkeit und Emotional Appeal,während die Erwartungen an die Erfüllung spezifischer Leistungskomponenten (wie z. B. Tierschutz) von untergeordneter Relevanz sind. Die Analysen verdeutlichen ferner die große Bedeutung der Reputation zur Erklärung verschiedener Akzeptanzprobleme der Branche.
Stable small spatial hairs in a power-law k-inflation model

description: In this paper, we extend our investigation of the validity of the cosmic no-hair conjecture within non-canonical anisotropic inflation. As a result, we are able to figure out an exact Bianchi type I solution to a power-law {\it k}-inflation model in the presence of unusual coupling between scalar and electromagnetic fields as $-f^2(ϕ)F_{μν}F^{μν}/4$. Furthermore, stability analysis based on the dynamical system method indicates that the obtained solution does admit stable and attractive hairs during an inflationary phase and therefore violates the cosmic no-hair conjecture. Finally, we show that the corresponding tensor-to-scalar ratio of this model turns out to be highly consistent with the observational data of the Planck 2018.

description: Das Vertrauen der Konsumenten in gesunde Nahrungsmittel wird regelmäßig durch Lebensmittelskandale erschüttert. Im Zusammenhang mit der Diskussion von Maßnahmen, die seitens der Produzenten und/oder des Staates ergriffen werden, um Nahrungsmittelsicherheit zu gewährleisten, stellt sich die Frage, wie der Markt, genauergesagt: die Verbraucher, auf das Bekanntwerden von Lebensmittelskandalen reagieren. In dem Beitrag wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob und wie sich Lebensmittelskandale, die eine mediale Verbreitung gefunden haben, auf Preise und Verbrauchsmengen ausgewählter tierischer Agrarerzeugnisse auswirken. Als methodischer Ansatz werden Ereignisstudien gewählt, die eine einfache Möglichkeit bieten, die Marktwirkungen sachlich und zeitlich klar definierter Ereignisse statistisch zu untersuchen. Das Hauptergebnis der empirischen Analyse lautet, dass für vier ausgewählte Fleischskandale in Deutschland im Zeitraum zwischen 2001 und 2006 kein signifikant negativer Einfluss auf Agrar- und Verbraucherpreise nachzuweisen ist. Daraus kann allerdings nicht der Schluss gezogen werden, Lebensmittelskandale seien für das Geschehen auf Agrar- und Produktmärkten irrelevant.

description: This article aims to show how it is possible to enrich our knowledge of music through a linear and nonlinear analysis of sound. For this purpose, 1. I conduct a nonlinear analysis of a specific improvised music for winds and percussion, 2. I describe the sound characteristics of the invariants present in the improvisation, and 3. I finally show the relationship between linear and nonlinear properties of music.

description: Improvisation is often conceived as making music without reading a score. This interpretation derives from the Western identification of composition with written music. But “improvisation” too is a form of composition – and not just in “real time” – with aims and criteria that differ from those of written music. Today the interest in improvisation is growing –and even changing with respect to the postwar years – in connection with changes in music, sound and social relationships, reflecting new media developments.

Fractional quantum Hall physics and higher-order momentum correlations in a few spinful fermionic contact-interacting ultracold atoms in rotating traps

description: The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) is theoretically investigated, with numerical and algebraic approaches, in assemblies of a few spinful ultracold neutral fermionic atoms, interacting via repulsive contact potentials and confined in a single rapidly rotating two-dimensional harmonic trap. Going beyond the commonly used second-order correlations in the real configuration space, the methodology in this paper will assist the analysis of experimental observations by providing benchmark results for $N$-body spin-unresolved, as well as spin-resolved, momentum correlations measurable in time-of-flight experiments with individual particle detection. Our analysis shows that the few-body lowest-Landau-level (LLL) states with good magic angular momenta exhibit inherent ordered quantum structures in the $N$-body correlations, similar to those associated with rotating Wigner molecules (WMs), familiar from the field of semiconductor quantum dots under high magnetic fields. The application of a small perturbing stirring potential induces, at the ensuing avoided crossings, formation of symmetry broken states exhibiting ordered polygonal-ring structures, explicitly manifest in the single-particle density profile of the trapped particles. Away from the crossings, an LLL state obtained from exact diagonalization of the microscopic Hamiltonian, found to be well-described by a (1,1,1) Halperin two-component variational wavefunction, represents also a spinful rotating WM. Analysis of the calculated LLL wavefunction enables a two-dimensional generalization of the Girardeau one-dimensional 'fermionization' scheme, originally invoked for mapping of bosonic-type wave functions to those of spinless fermions.

description: We summarize the main features of several dark matter candidates in extra-dimensional theories. In particular, we review Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons in universal extra dimensions and branons in brane-world models. KK gravitons are superWIMP (superweakly-interacting massive particle) dark matter, and branons are WIMP (weakly-interacting massive particle) dark matter. Both dark matter candidates are naturally produced in the correct amount to form much or all of dark matter.
