description: Rural livelihood in arid irrigated areas is hampered by water scarcity, land degradation and climate change. Studies showed a possibility to tackle these challenges by establishing tree plantations on marginal croplands as supported by the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) forestation programs. Despite the environmental impact such projects would also affect the decision making of rural population by changing their land use activities, incomes and consumption structures. Thus, this study further analyzed the impact of CDM forestation on rural livelihood by considering rural interdependencies via wage-labor relations of agribusiness-operated farms and rural households in the Khorezm province and southern districts of Autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan. We developed a farm-household dynamic programming model that jointly maximizes farm profits and rural households net incomes over a 15-years horizon under the scenario of decreasing irrigation water availability and plantation forestry with a seven year rotation period. The analysis showed that shortly following a land use change towards afforestation, the farm demand for rural households’ labor would decline thus decreasing the household incomes. Yet, later on after harvesting tree plantations, in year seven, the farm benefits would be transmitted to rural households via access to cheaper fuelwood and leaves as fodder, as well as via improved land use activities. The availability of fuelwood from tree plantations would significantly decrease CO2 emissions of households by substituting fossil fuels, while leaves would reduce expenditures for livestock fodder. These substitution effects would lead to the increase of income and in turn improve households’ food consumption. Besides, given the low irrigation demand of trees, a conversion of marginal cropland to tree plantations would increase the irrigation water availability for other productive croplands. These changes would lead that tree plantations would increase in year seven profits of farmer (up to 39,200 USD) and net incomes of rural households (up to 12,700 USD). Whereas when only conventional land uses are followed the decline in water availability would reduce profits of farm (from 13,000 USD to 9,850 USD) and net incomes of rural households (from 11,900 to 10,500 USD) over the modeled period. Overall, we argue that the implementation of the short-term CDM forestation could help cushion repercussions of water shortages on rural livelihoods, sustaining energy, income and food security, as well as mitigating climate change in drylands.

description: This study aims at shedding light on the potential impact of agricultural technology adoption on household food consumption status. The analysis is based on the data collected from randomly selected 200 farm households in Southeast Ethiopia. Since the process of technology adoption usually involves non-random placement of adopters, we employed a propensity score matching method to avoid bias arising from possible self-selection. The results show that adoption of improved wheat technologies has a robust and positive effect on farmers food consumption per adult equivalent per day. The Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT), based on three estimation algorithms, ranges from 377.37 calories per day to 603.16 calories per day which indicates that efforts to disseminate existing wheat technologies will highly contribute to food security among farm households.

description: This study sought to evaluate the performance of conservation agriculture (CA) technology-essentially comparing productivity and efficiency levels in maize production in CA and conventional farming. The analysis is based on a three year panel sample of smallholder farming households and employing a stochastic production frontier model compare productivity and technical efficiency between CA and conventional farming. Study results indicate that CA technology is implemented in relatively smaller plots than conventional farming (0.36ha compared to 0.85ha) but has a significant contribution to total maize production, on average 50% of output share. Output elasticities indicate positive responses for labor and seed in CA, and negative responses in conventional farming. On the other hand, there are negative responses to land and draft in CA. Fertilizer has a greater positive response in CA than in conventional farming. Overall returns to scale are similar for CA and conventional farming (0.84 and0.89 respectively). There is evidence of technical progress in CA for the three year panel period. Technical progress has been land-saving but seed and fertilizer-using in CA, while land-using and seed-saving in conventional farming. Joint frontier estimates indicate that farmers will produce 39% more in CA compared to conventional farming. Technical efficiency levels are generally the same (about 68%) for both technologies. Two-thirds of farmers achieve efficiency scores in the 60-80% range both CA and conventional farming technologies. These results show significant yield gains in CA practices and significant contributions to food production. CA is land-saving, and this is an important issue for land constrained farmers because they can still have viable food production on smaller area. But high labor demands in CA present some problems in adoption, particularly for the poorer farmers.

description: The numerical modeling of co-existing circumplanetary disks/rings and satellites is particularly challenging because each part of the system requires a very different approach. Disks are generally well represented by a fluid-like dense medium, whose evolution can be calculated by a hydrocode. On the other hand, the orbital evolution of satellites is generally performed using N-body integrators. We have developed a new numerical model that combines a 1-dimensional hydrocode with the N-body integrator SyMBA. The disk evolves due to its viscosity, and resonant torques from satellites. The latter is applied to the satellites as an additional "kick" to their accelerations. The integrator also includes the ability to spawn new moonlets at the disk's outer edge if the latter expands beyond a material-dependent Roche limit, as well as the effects of tidal dissipation in the planet and/or the satellite on the satellite orbits. The resulting integrator allows one to accurately model the evolution of an inner circumplanetary disk, and the formation of satellites by accumulation of disk material, all within a single self-consistent framework. Potential applications include the formation of Earth's Moon, the evolution of the inner Saturn system, the martian and uranian moons, and compact exoplanetary systems.

description: We study the response of the QCD vacuum to strong magnetic fields, using a potential model for the quark-antiquark interaction. We find that production of spin-polarized u-ubar pairs is energetically favorable for fields B > B_crit \sim 10 GeV^2. We contrast the resulting u-ubar condensate with the quark condensate which is present at zero magnetic field, and we estimate the corresponding magnetization as a function of B.

What is wrong with steady accretion discs?

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: In a standard, steady, thin accretion disc, the radial distribution of the dissipation of the accretion energy is determined simply by energy considerations. Here we draw attention to the fact that while the (quasi-)steady discs in dwarf novae in outburst are in agreement with the expected emission distribution, the steady discs in the nova-like variables are not. We note that essentially the only difference between these two sets of discs is the time for which they have been in the high viscosity, high accretion rate state. In such discs, the major process by which angular momentum is transported outwards is MHD turbulence. We speculate that such turbulence gives rise to corona-like structures (here called magnetically controlled zones, or MCZs) which are also able to provide non-negligible angular momentum transport, the magnitude of which depends on the spatial scale $L$ of the magnetic field structures in such zones. For short-lived, high accretion rate discs (such as those in dwarf novae) we expect $L \sim H$ and the MCZ to have little effect. But, with time (such as in the nova-like variables) an inverse cascade in the MHD turbulence enables $L$, and the net effect of the MCZ, to grow. We present a simple toy model which demonstrates that such ideas can provide an explanation for the difference between the dwarf novae and the nova-like variable discs.

The MP2 and CCSD(T) methods are used to calculate interaction energies, optimized geometries and vertical detachment energies. Part of the potential energy surfaces are explored with a focus on the autodetachment region. We point out the importance of diffuse functions to correctly describe the latter. We use our results to discuss the different water loss and electronic detachment channels which are the main reaction routes at room temperature. In particular, we have considered a direct and an indirect process for the electronic detachment, depending on whether water loss follows or precedes the detachment of the excess electron. We use our results to discuss the implication for astrochemistry and hybrid trap experiments in the context of cold chemistry.

It is found that, the strong fluctuations in binary collision number N_c in minimum-bias events can enhance the hard component, especially for the higher order moments. This enhancement can not be effectively described by modifying the participant number in the one-component model.

description: We have numerically investigated the long term dynamical behavior of known Centaurs. This class of objects is thought to constitute the transitional population between the Kuiper Belt and the Jupiter-family comets (JFCs). In our study, we find that over their dynamical lifetimes, these objects diffuse into the JFCs and other sinks, and also make excursions into the Scattered Disk, but (not surprisingly) do not diffuse into the parameter space representing the main Kuiper Belt. These Centaurs spend most of their dynamical lifetimes in orbits of eccentricity 0.2-to-0.6 and perihelion distance 12-to-30 AU. Their orbital evolution is characterized by frequent close encounters with the giant planets. Most of these Centaurs will escape from the solar system (or enter the Oort Cloud), while a fraction will enter the JFC population and a few percent will impact a giant planet. Their median dynamical lifetime is 9 Myr, although there is a wide dispersion in lifetimes, ranging from less than 1 Myr to more than 100 Myr. We find the dynamical evolution of this sample of Centaurs to be less orderly than the planet-to-planet "hand-off" described in previous investigations. We discuss the implications of our study for the spatial distribution of the Centaurs as a whole.

A Catalog of Hyper-luminous X-ray Sources and Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Candidates out to High Redshifts

description: Hyper-luminous X-ray sources (HLXs; L_X>10^41 erg s^-1) are off-nuclear X-ray sources in galaxies and strong candidates for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). We have constructed a sample of 169 HLX candidates by combining X-ray detections from the Chandra Source Catalog (Version 2) with galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and registering individual images for improved relative astrometric accuracy. The spatial resolution of Chandra allows for the sample to extend out to z~0.9. Optical counterparts are detected among one-fourth of the sample, one-third of which are consistent with dwarf galaxy stellar masses. The average intrinsic X-ray spectral slope indicates efficient accretion, potentially driven by galaxy mergers, and the column densities suggest one-third of the sample has significant X-ray absorption. We find that 144 of the HLX candidates have X-ray emission that is significantly in excess of the expected contribution from star formation and hot gas, strongly suggesting that they are produced by accretion onto black holes more massive than stars. After correcting for an average background or foreground contamination rate of 8%, we estimate that at least ~20 of the HLX candidates are consistent with IMBH masses, and this estimate is potentially several times higher assuming more efficient accretion. This catalog currently represents the largest sample of uniformly-selected, off-nuclear IMBH candidates. These sources may represent scenarios in which a low-mass galaxy hosting an IMBH has merged with a more massive galaxy and provide an excellent sample for testing models of low-mass BH formation and merger-driven growth.

description: Recent data allow a new parametrization of the neutron charge form factor G_En. A parameter-free quark model relation between G_En and the N->Delta quadrupole form factor is used to predict the latter from the G_En data. In particular, the neutron charge radius is related to N->Delta quadrupole moment, while the fourth moment of G_En connects to the N->Delta quadrupole transition radius. From the latter we derive an experimental value for the charge radius of the light constituent quarks. Finally, the C2/M1 ratio in pion electroproduction is predicted from the elastic neutron form factor data.

Utilizing the redundant constraints for the uplift payment elimination

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A power market with non-convexities may not have an equilibrium price for power that provides economic stability of the centralized dispatch outcome. In this case, the market players are entitled to receive the uplift payments that compensate the economic profit lost when following the centralized dispatch. We consider a special class of the (possibly non-linear) redundant constraints that are redundant not only on the feasible set of the centralized dispatch optimization problem (and, therefore, do not change the centralized dispatch outcome) but also on the larger set obtained when the power balance constraint is relaxed. We show that the Lagrangian relaxation of these redundant constraints may reduce the uplift payments without changing the duality gap. For any given market price (or a pricing algorithm that sets the producer revenue as a function of its output volume) in a uninode multi-period power market with fixed load, we explicitly construct a family of the redundant constraints that do not change the maximum profit of the producer and result in zero uplift payment. We show that the introduction and subsequent Lagrangian relaxation of just one redundant constraint in the centralized dispatch problem suffice to eliminate the uplift payments for all the producers. In the case of the convex hull pricing method, the introduction of these redundant constraints affects neither the duality gap nor the market price for power. The results can be straightforwardly generalized to a power market with the price-sensitive load.

description: This study investigates the Reynolds-number dependence of shock-induced flow through particle layers at 10\% volume fraction, using ensemble-averaged results from particle-resolved large eddy simulations. The advantage of using large eddy simulations to study this problem is that they capture the strong velocity shears and flow separation caused by the no-slip condition at the particle surfaces. The shock particle cloud interaction produces a reflected shock wave, whose strength increases with decreasing particle Reynolds number. This results in important changes to the flow field that enters the particle cloud. The results show an approximate proportionality between the mean flow velocity and the flow fluctuation magnitudes. Maximum particle drag forces are in excellent agreement with previous inviscid studies, and we complement these results with statistics of time-averaged particle forces as well as the variation of temporal oscillations. The results of this work provides a basis for development of improved simplified dispersed flow models.

description: We numerically study the real-time dynamics of a single hole created in the $t-J$ model on a square lattice. Initially, the hole spreads ballistically with a velocity proportional to the hopping matrix element. At intermediate to long times, the dimensionality as well as the spin background determine the hole dynamics. A hole created in the ground state of a two dimensional quantum antiferromagnet propagates again ballistically at long times but with a velocity proportional to the spin exchange coupling, showing the formation of a magnetic polaron. We provide an intuitive explanation of this dynamics in terms of a parton construction, which leads to a good quantitative agreement with the numerical simulations. In the limit of infinite temperature and no spin exchange couplings, the dynamics can be approximated by a quantum random walk on the Bethe lattice. Adding Ising interactions corresponds to an effective disordered potential, which can dramatically slow down the hole propagation, consistent with subdiffusive dynamics.

description: A photometric analysis and evolutionary stages of the contact binary V2790~Ori is presented. The $BVR_\mathrm{C}$ observations were carried out at the Thai National Observatory. The photometric light curves were fitted to provide fundamental parameters, required to use in the analysis of evolutionary stages of the binary. The results show that V2790~Ori is a W-type contact system with a mass ratio of $q$~=~2.932. The orbital period increase is found at a rate of $\mathrm{d}P\slash \mathrm{d}t~=~$1.03$\times10^{-7}~$d~yr$^{-1}$. It implies that a rate of mass transfer from the secondary component to the primary one is $\mathrm{d}m_2\slash \mathrm{d}t~=~$6.31$\times10^{-8}~M_{\odot}$~yr$^{-1}$. Furthermore, we find that from the detached phase to the contact phase, mass of the evolved secondary component has been lost 1.188$\pm$0.110~$\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$, i.e., mass lost by the system of 0.789$\pm$0.073~$\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$ and mass transfer to the primary of 0.399$\pm$0.037~$\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$. Since the time of the first overflow, the angular momentum loss is found to be 72.2~$\%$ of $J_\mathrm{FOF}$, causing the orbit and Roche surface to shrink until the present time.

description: Anomaly mediation of supersymmetry breaking solves the supersymmetric flavor problem thanks to its ultraviolet-insensitivity. However, it suffers from two problems: sleptons have negative masses-squared, and there are likely bulk moduli that spoil the framework. Here, we present the first fully ultraviolet-insensitive model of anomaly mediation with positive slepton masses-squared in a purely four-dimensional framework. Our model is based on the additional D-term contributions to the sparticle masses, and the conformal sequestering mechanism.

description: Using a long (=150 ksec), broad-band (0.1--40 keV) BeppoSAX observation of the merging starburst system Arp 299 (=IC 694 + NGC 3690) we found the first unambiguous evidence of the presence of a deeply buried (N_H = 2.5E24 cm-2) AGN having an intrinsic luminosity of L(0.5-100 keV) = 1.9E43 cgs. The X-ray spectral properties of this AGN are discussed in detail as well as the thermal component detected at soft X-ray energies which, most likely, is associated with the starburst.

description: In this work we present a bag-type model within a non-extensive statistics applied to the description of the properties of a hadronic system with an underlying fractal structure. The non-extensive ideal gas inside the bag is determined by the grand canonical partition function from which pressure, energy and particle density as well as temperature and chemical potential are obtained for the hadronic system. These quantities are studied in the approximation of fixed mass for all bag constituents but also for discrete and continuum masses. In all cases, the freeze-out line, corresponding to the energy per particle equal to 1 GeV and the lines corresponding to a fractal structure inside the proton volume are obtained. Finally, the pressure on the bag surface of the proton is calculated and the resulting value $(0.135\, {\rm GeV})^4$ obtained.

description: We present measurements of the capacitive coupling energy and the inter-dot capacitances in a linear quadruple quantum dot array in undoped Si/SiGe. With the device tuned to a regime of strong ($>$1 GHz) intra-double dot tunnel coupling, as is typical for double dot qubits, we measure a capacitive coupling energy of $20.9 \pm 0.3$ GHz. In this regime, we demonstrate a fitting procedure to extract all the parameters in the 4D Hamiltonian for two capacitively coupled charge qubits from a 2D slice through the quadruple dot charge stability diagram. We also investigate the tunability of the capacitive coupling energy, using inter-dot barrier gate voltages to tune the inter- and intra-double dot capacitances, and change the capacitive coupling energy of the double dots over a range of 15-32 GHz. We provide a model for the capacitive coupling energy based on the electrostatics of a network of charge nodes joined by capacitors, which shows how the coupling energy should depend on inter-double dot and intra-double dot capacitances in the network, and find that the expected trends agree well with the measurements of coupling energy.

description: Using the particle content of the fundamental {27} supermultiplet of E_6, naturally small Dirac neutrino masses are obtained in the context of SU(3)_C times SU(2)_L times U(1)_Y times U(1)_{chi}, where U(1)_{chi} comes from the decomposition E_6 to SO(10) times U(1)_{psi}, then SO(10) to SU(5) times U(1)_{chi}. New observable consequences are predicted at the TeV scale. An axionic solution of the strong CP problem may be included at no extra cost.

title: 'You and me, we're the same. You struggle with Tigrinya and I struggle with English.' An exploration of an ecological, multilingual approach to language learning with New Scots.

Subjects: subject: Language ecologies, translanguaging, refugee integration, multilingualism.

description: Increased migration into Europe has placed integration and language learning for refugees at the centre of political and public discourses. Scotland’s Refugee Integration Strategy recognises the importance of linguistic diversity and academic literature also highlights the benefits of multilingual learning. However, most support for language learning for refugees is delivered monolingually, creating a gap between policy, literature, and practice. Research also indicates that women arriving in the UK through family reunion may face additional challenges with language learning. This thesis presents findings from a five-month teaching study to explore an ecological and multilingual approach to language learning within the specific context of refugee families who have recently arrived in Glasgow through the British Red Cross Family Reunion Integration Service. Using Critical Participatory Action Research and underpinned by decolonising methodology (Phipps, 2019b; Smith, 1999), the research meets the participants within their first tentative weeks in Glasgow and provides unique insights into the nature of the language learning support needed at the point of arrival and shortly afterwards. The research repositions the role of the participants and their languages by drawing on academic literature on translanguaging (Blackledge & Creese, 2010; García & Wei, 2014b) to explore mutual language learning as linguistic hospitality. This pedagogy, which I term an ‘ecologising’ of language learning, builds on three key findings: • The significance of decolonising, collaborative learner/ teacher relationships during the liminal phase of refugee arrival • The importance of place and orientation • An increased understanding of language and ‘languaging’, drawing on linguistic repertoire, dialogical interaction and the impact of linguistic hospitality These findings combined to form an approach which participants felt ‘empowered’ them to learn and allowed for deeper exploration of how policy, practice and academic literature intersect within language learning for refugees, a topic which is unlikely to become any less significant in the coming years.
$^{42}$Ca and $^{50}$Ca with the (Many- and Few-body) Unified Method

description: A new method unifying many and few-body aspects of nuclear structure has recently been introduced \cite{hov18}. This method combines the many-body description of a core and the few-body structure of this core surrounded by two valence nucleons. For this reason this method is expected to work specially well when applied to nuclei close to the driplines, where the few-body halo structure with one or more nucleons outside the core is established. In this work we apply the new method to nuclei close to the valley of stability, with $^{42}$Ca and $^{50}$Ca as illustrations. We compare the results from uncorrelated mean-field calculations with the ones obtained with the unified method allowing arbitrary correlations in the valence space. We find that the unified method provides results rather similar, although distinguishable, to the Hartree-Fock calculations. The correlations are much less pronounced than at the driplines, which initially were targets for the unified method. The halo structure is not artificially maintained, but the correlations are here demonstrated to be applicable to well-bound nuclei. Excited states built on valence degrees of freedom are calculated for the same nuclei.

Topological pumping of edge states via adiabatic passage

description: Topological pumping of edge states in finite crystals or quasicrystals with non-trivial topological phases provides a powerful means for robust excitation transfer. In most schemes of topological pumping, the edge states become delocalized and immersed into the continuum during the adiabatic cycle, requiring extremely slow evolution to avoid nonadiabatic effects. Here a scheme of topological pumping based on adiabatic passage of edge and interface states is proposed, which is more robust against nonadiabatic effects and avoids delocalization of the state over the entire adiabatic cycle. The scheme is illustrated by considering adiabatic passage in a system sustaining two topologically-protected edge states and one interface state, realized by interfacing two dimerized Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains with different topological order

description: We describe the implementation of supersymmetric processes in the HERWIG Monte Carlo event generator. We define relevant parameter and mixing conventions and list the hard scattering matrix elements. Our implementation is based on the Minimum Supersymmetric Standard Model, with the option of R-parity violation. The sparticle spectrum is completely general. Both hadron-hadron and lepton-lepton collisions are covered. This article supplements a separate publication in which the general features of HERWIG 6.2 are described, and updates the treatment of supersymmetry to version 6.4.

Extension of the King-Hele orbit contraction method for accurate, semi-analytical propagation of non-circular orbits

description: Numerical integration of orbit trajectories for a large number of initial conditions and for long time spans is computationally expensive. Semi-analytical methods were developed to reduce the computational burden. An elegant and widely used method of semi-analytically integrating trajectories of objects subject to atmospheric drag was proposed by King-Hele (KH). However, the analytical KH contraction method relies on the assumption that the atmosphere density decays strictly exponentially with altitude. If the actual density profile does not satisfy the assumption of a fixed scale height, as is the case for Earth's atmosphere, the KH method introduces potentially large errors for non-circular orbit configurations. In this work, the KH method is extended to account for such errors by using a newly introduced atmosphere model derivative. By superimposing exponentially decaying partial atmospheres, the superimposed KH method can be applied accurately while considering more complex density profiles. The KH method is further refined by deriving higher order terms during the series expansion. A variable boundary condition to choose the appropriate eccentricity regime, based on the series truncation errors, is introduced. The accuracy of the extended analytical contraction method is shown to be comparable to numerical Gauss-Legendre quadrature. Propagation using the proposed method compares well against non-averaged integration of the dynamics, while the computational load remains very low.
