description: This paper describes the major characteristics of Nepali small farm production systems with particular reference to livestock and their feed supply. The current and potential contributions of the livestock sector to human welfare, to household income, to food security and to overall biodiversity are also assessed. Nepal’s animal genetic resources are extremely diverse (at least 17 species) and have multiple functions. They are yet to be fully characterized but the received wisdom that they are unproductive and of inferior genetic merit is not founded on comparative research or on the several production objectives (including adaptability to the local environment) for which animals are kept. Research in the past has been along classic lines, carried out on station and not always related to the real problems of small farmers. Future research areas should be identified in collaboration with farmers and the extension services, should be mainly applied and adaptive in nature and should be carried out in collaboration with farmers on their farms (On Farm Technology Testing) as well as on research stations.

description: This paper deals with the reconstruction of small-amplitude perturbations in the electric properties (permittivity and conductivity) of a medium from boundary measurements of the electric field at a fixed frequency. The underlying model is the three-dimensional time-harmonic Maxwell equations in the electric field. Sensitivity analysis with respect to the parameters is performed, and explicit relations between the boundary measurements and the characteristics of the perturbations are found from an appropriate integral equation and extensive numerical simulations in 3D. The resulting non-iterative algorithm allows to retrieve efficiently the centre and volume of the perturbations in various situations from the simple sphere to a realistic model of the human head.

description: Scalar-tensor theories are the best motivated alternatives to general relativity and provide a mathematically consistent framework to test the various observable predictions. They can involve three functions of the scalar field: (i) a potential (as in "quintessence" models), (ii) a matter-scalar coupling function (as in "extended quintessence", where it may also be rewritten as a nonminimal coupling of the scalar field to the scalar curvature), and (iii) a coupling function of the scalar field to the Gauss-Bonnet topological invariant. We recall the main experimental constraints on this class of theories, and underline that solar-system, binary-pulsar, and cosmological observations give qualitatively different tests. We finally show that the combination of these data is necessary to constrain the existence of a scalar-Gauss-Bonnet coupling.

description: We present optical and NIR (near infrared) follow up observations of the GRB 001109 from 1 to 300 days after the burst. No transient emission was found at these wavelengths within this GRB's (Gamma Ray Burst) 50" radius BeppoSAX error box. Strong limits (3 sigma) are set with: R >~ 21, 10.2 hr after the GRB; I >~ 23, 11.4 hr after the GRB; H >~ 20.7, 9.9 hr after the GRB; and Ks >~ 20, 9.6 hours after the GRB. We discuss whether the radio source found in the GRB's error box (Taylor et al. 2000) might be related to the afterglow. We also present a multiwavelength study of a reddened starburst galaxy, found coincident with the potential radio and the X ray afterglow. We show that our strong I band upper limit makes of the GRB 001109 the darkest one localised by the BeppoSAX's NFI (Narrow Field Instrument), and it is one of the most constraining upper limits on GRB afterglows to date. Further to it, the implications of these observations in the context of dark GRBs are considered.

description: CeTe3 is a layered compound where an incommensurate Charge Density Wave (CDW) opens a large gap (400 meV) in optimally nested regions of the Fermi Surface (FS), whereas other sections with poorer nesting remain ungapped. Through Angle-Resolved Photoemission, we identify bands backfolded according to the CDW periodicity. They define FS pockets formed by the intersection of the original FS and its CDW replica. Such pockets illustrate very directly the role of nesting in the CDW formation but they could not be detected so far in a CDW system. We address the reasons for the weak intensity of the folded bands, by comparing different foldings coexisting in CeTe3.

description: The precision measurement of the 1809 keV gamma-ray line from Galactic $^{26}$Al is one of the goals of the SPI spectrometer on INTEGRAL with its Ge detector camera. We aim for determination of the detailed shape of this gamma-ray line, and its variation for different source regions along the plane of the Galaxy. Data from the first part of the core program observations of the first mission year have been inspected. A clear detection of the \Al line at about 5--7 $σ$ significance demonstrates that SPI will deepen \Al studies. The line intensity is consistent with expectations from previous experiments, and the line appears narrower than the 5.4 keV FWHM reported by GRIS, more consistent with RHESSI's recent value. Only preliminary statements can be made at this time, however, due to the multi-component background underlying the signal at \about 40 times higher intensity than the signal from Galactic $^{26}$Al.

Uniform threshold for fixation of the stochastic sandpile model on the line

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We consider the abelian stochastic sandpile model. In this model, a site is deemed unstable when it contains more than one particle. Each unstable site, independently, is toppled at rate $1$, sending two of its particles to neighbouring sites chosen independently. We show that when the initial average density is less than $1/2$, the system locally fixates almost surely. We achieve this bound by analysing the parity of the total number of times each site is visited by a large number of particles under the sandpile dynamics.

Anisotropic scaling in YBa2Cu3O7 crystals with columnar defects

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We explore the interplay between the mass anisotropy and the uniaxial pinning of tilted columnar defects (CD) in a YBa2Cu3O7 single crystal. At high temperatures T and fields H a sharp peak in the irreversible magnetization Mi at the direction of the tracks signals the presence of the CD. At low T such a peak is not observed, and the influence of the CD appears only as a perturbation to the angular dependence due to the anisotropy. We show that at low T and high H the uniaxial effects due to CD can be recovered by performing an anisotropic rescaling. As expected, this scaling fails at low H.

Wave function mapping conditions in Open Quantum Dots structures

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

description: We discuss the minimal conditions for wave function spectroscopy, in which resonant tunneling is the measurement tool. Two systems are addressed: resonant tunneling diodes, as a toy model, and open quantum dots. The toy model is used to analyze the crucial tunning between the necessary resolution in current-voltage characteristics and the breakdown of the wave functions probing potentials into a level splitting characteristic of double quantum wells. The present results establish a parameter region where the wavefunction spectroscopy by resonant tunneling could be achieved. In the case of open quantum dots, a breakdown of the mapping condition is related to a change into a double quantum dot structure induced by the local probing potential. The analogy between the toy model and open quantum dots show that a precise control over shape and extention of the potential probes is irrelevant for wave function mapping. Moreover, the present system is a realization of a tunable Fano system in the wave function mapping regime.

description: We consider the implications for laser interferometry of the quantum-gravity-motivated modifications in the laws of particle propagation, which are presently being considered in attempts to explain puzzling observations of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. We show that there are interferometric setups in which the Planck-scale effect on propagation leads to a characteristic signature. A naive estimate is encouraging with respect to the possibility of achieving Planck-scale sensitivity, but we also point out some severe technological challenges which would have to be overcome in order to achieve this sensitivity.

description: We present an exact treatment of layered many-body electronic systems in the presence of interlayer coupling within the Schwinger functional derivative approach on the Keldysh contour. Our transparent approach allows us to clarify the definition of interlayer coupling by showing the independent roles hybridization and interactions play in generating new electronic and magnetic excitations. We find interlayer coupling to induce a variety of plasmons, magnons, and excitons, residing within the a layer, traversing between layers, or propagating along the interface. Moreover, we predict interfacial excitations, including an electron-hole pairing pathway, facilitated by previously ignored layer nonconserving interactions. Finally, we briefly explore the consequence of interlayer coupling on a bilayer square lattice system.

description: This article analyses the competitive advantages and disadvantages of agriholdings and independent farms in Ukrainian arable production using expert-based focus-group discussions and comparing typical farms with a cost-of-production approach. Agriholdings were found to have strong competitive advantages in access to and cost of capital, as well as more favourable input and output prices. On the other hand, they are less efficient, with lower yields and higher overhead costs than top-performing independent farms. At the bottom line, typical well-performing independent farms were found to generate a higher return to land than typical agriholding member farms of the same size. If agriholdings can overcome their efficiency challenge, the economic gap may close in the future. A likely way to accomplish this was found to be decentralization and strengthening of farm-level management.

An analysis of experiential learning opportunities in home economics education
Creators: name: Angus, Nicole Frances
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Home Economics education, particularly in relation to Food and Nutrition education, provides many opportunities for students to engage in learning opportunities based on experience, often referred to as Experiential Learning. As methods of modern learning have changed, so has the modern learner. Research in many areas of education identifies that learning is best achieved through experience, particularly when students are able to engage personally with learned concepts and when they can practice them within their daily lives, both inside and outside of the classroom. Food and Nutrition education, as taught by home economics educators, lends itself greatly to providing students with opportunities for experiential learning. In 2013, The Ministry of Education Ontario released updated curriculum for their Home Economics courses (formally known in the province of Ontario as Family Studies), to encompass not only updated concepts of food and nutrition education, but also to offer greater opportunity for experiential learning to take place in the Family Studies classroom to meet the needs of modern day learning. This paper will examine the A framework for analysis based on experiential learning, as defined by David A. Kolb’s Theory of Experiential Learning, will provide educators with further understanding of what experiential learning is and an opportunity for them to become familiar with the experiential learning opportunities that are provided within the curriculum of food and nutrition education in Ontario.

description: Compiling high-level quantum programs to machines that are size constrained (i.e. limited number of quantum bits) and time constrained (i.e. limited number of quantum operations) is challenging. In this paper, we present SQUARE (Strategic QUantum Ancilla REuse), a compilation infrastructure that tackles allocation and reclamation of scratch qubits (called ancilla) in modular quantum programs. At its core, SQUARE strategically performs uncomputation to create opportunities for qubit reuse. Current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers and forward-looking Fault-Tolerant (FT) quantum computers have fundamentally different constraints such as data locality, instruction parallelism, and communication overhead. Our heuristic-based ancilla-reuse algorithm balances these considerations and fits computations into resource-constrained NISQ or FT quantum machines, throttling parallelism when necessary. To precisely capture the workload of a program, we propose an improved metric, the "active quantum volume," and use this metric to evaluate the effectiveness of our algorithm. Our results show that SQUARE improves the average success rate of NISQ applications by 1.47X. Surprisingly, the additional gates for uncomputation create ancilla with better locality, and result in substantially fewer swap gates and less gate noise overall. SQUARE also achieves an average reduction of 1.5X (and up to 9.6X) in active quantum volume for FT machines.

description: We show that the nanoresonator position can be squeezed significantly below the ground state level by measuring the nanoresonator with a quantum point contact or a single-electron transistor and applying a periodic voltage across the detector. The mechanism of squeezing is basically a generalization of quantum nondemolition measurement of an oscillator to the case of continuous measurement by a weakly coupled detector. The quantum feedback is necessary to prevent the ``heating'' due to measurement back-action. We also discuss a procedure of experimental verification of the squeezed state.

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Various aspects of relativistic calculations of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect are explored and clarified. We first formally show that the main previous approaches to the calculation of the relativistically generalized thermal component of the effect are equivalent. Our detailed description of the full effect results in a somewhat improved formulation. Analytic approximations to the exact calculation of the change of the photon occupation number in the scattering, $Δn$, are extended to powers of the gas temperature and cluster velocity that are higher than in similar published treatments. For the purely thermal and purely kinematic components, we obtain identical terms up to the highest common orders in temperature and cluster velocity, and to second order in the Thomson optical depth, as reported in previous treatments, but we get slightly different expressions for the terms that depend on both the gas temperature and cluster velocity. We also obtain an accurate expression for the crossover frequency.

description: The study reports the aspects of postimpact hydrodynamics of ferrofluid droplets on superhydrophobic SH surfaces in the presence of a horizontal magnetic field. A wide gamut of dynamics was observed by varying the impact Weber number We, the Hartmann number Ha and the magnetic field strength manifested through the magnetic Bond number Bom. For a fixed We 60, we observed that at moderately low Bom 300, droplet rebound off the SH surface is suppressed. The noted We is chosen to observe various impact outcomes and to reveal the consequent ferrohydrodynamic mechanisms. We also show that ferrohydrodynamic interactions leads to asymmetric spreading, and the droplet spreads preferentially in a direction orthogonal to the magnetic field lines. We show analytically that during the retraction regime, the kinetic energy of the droplet is distributed unequally in the transverse and longitudinal directions due to the Lorentz force. This ultimately leads to suppression of droplet rebound. We study the role of Bom at fixed We 60, and observed that the liquid lamella becomes unstable at the onset of retraction phase, through nucleation of holes, their proliferation and rupture after reaching a critical thickness only on SH surfaces, but is absent on hydrophilic surfaces. We propose an analytical model to predict the onset of instability at a critical Bom. The analytical model shows that the critical Bom is a function of the impact We, and the critical Bom decreases with increasing We. We illustrate a phase map encompassing all the post impact ferrohydrodynamic phenomena on SH surfaces for a wide range of We and Bom.

description: The research of the Master of Science thesis was produced within the framework of the Master Program Studies: "Sustainable Management of Forest and Natural Ecosystems: Protection, Production and Utilization", of the 2nd Direction: Technical projects, Production and Utilization of Wood Biomass, Department of Forestry and Natural Sciences. The work deals with the restoration of quarries, active and inactive, and the methods which are used in international practice. Emphasizes the importance of restoring such areas, which have been significantly disrupted, in terms of the landscape and the functioning of the ecosystem. Specifically, the lime quarry located in the area of Asvestochori is examined, which has great historical and cultural value for the wider area, as there is an intention of the state to restore the quarry, promote it and deliver it to the community of Thessaloniki for recreation, entertainment, sports and cultural activities. After the geodetic mapping of the Quarry, we proceeded to the creation of a three-dimensional soil model with QGIS, in order to propose ecological and low-cost solutions for its restoration and utilization

description: This self-study is dedicated to understanding my personal struggle surrounding the authenticity of my practice when teaching about social justice issues and environmental problems in the global fashion industry. A critical incident forced a reevaluation of personal values and ideals; inciting new found passion for ethical consumerism. The paper examines what the issues are in the textile and fashion industry, some of the ways companies are addressing them and how they can be addressed in the classroom. Images are used to illustrate and assist in explaining critical incidents, explorations and experiences. I provide honest insight to personal feelings and reveal behaviours that hinder my confidence in teaching controversial issues and discuss how analyzing the various situations have altered my perspectives. Finally, with this information, I consider the implication of ethical clothing consumption for home economics curriculum and instruction.

description: In the present study, we understood the total synthesis one chalcone derivative via Claisen-Schmidt condensation of the respective aldehydes and ketones using Microwave assisted irradiation method. In the microwave environment, chemical reactions usually proceed faster and give higher yields with fewer by- products. In the synthesis, a common aldehyde namely tetrazolo {1, 5-a} quinoline-4-carbaldehyde was used while the ketones used were respectively acetone, 2- acetyl Naphthalene. The Chalcone synthesised from Tetrazolo {1, 5-a} quinolone-4-carbaldehyde and acetone was 4-(tetrazolo {1, 5-a} quinoline-4-yl) but -3-en-2-one. The Chalcone synthesised from Tetrazolo {1, 5-a} quinoline-4-carbaldehyde and 2-acetyl Naphthalene was 2E-1-(naphthalene-2-yl)-3-(tetrazolo {1, 5-a} quinolone-4-yl) prop-2-en-1- one. The starting aldehyde was Tetrazolo {1, 5-a} quinoline-4-carbaldehyde necessary for the Claisen-Schmidt condensation was in turn synthesized from Acetanilide which and Vilsmeier reagent (DMF and PoCl3) to produce the intermediate compound 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde. This intermediate 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde was then treated with sodium azide and acetic acid with ethanol as solvent to produce Tetrazolo {1, 5-a} quinoline-4-carbaldehyde. Structure of the compound were confirmed by spectral data such as IR and 1H-NMR.

description: We present new results on the clustering and three-dimensional distribution of radio galaxies from the Texas-Oxford NVSS Structure (TONS) survey. The TONS survey was constructed to look at the distribution of radio galaxies in a region of moderate (0 < z < 0.5) redshifts by matching NVSS sources with objects in APM catalogues to obtain a sample of optically bright (R < 19.5), radio faint (1.4-GHz flux density S_1.4 > 3 mJy) radio galaxies over large areas on the sky. We find that redshift spikes, which represent large concentrations of radio galaxies which trace (~ 100 Mpc^3) super-structures are a common phenomena in these surveys. Under the assumption of quasi-linear structure formation theory and a canonical radio galaxy bias, the structures represent ~ 4-5 sigma peaks in the primordial density field and their expected number is low. The most plausible explanation for these low probabilities is an increase in the radio galaxy bias with redshift. To investigate potential mechanisms which have triggered the radio activity in these galaxies - and hence may account for an increase in the bias of this population, we performed imaging studies of the cluster environment of the radio galaxies in super-structure regions. Preliminary results show that these radio galaxies may reside preferentially at the edges of rich clusters. If radio galaxies are preferentially triggered as they fall towards rich clusters then they would effectively adopt the cluster bias.

description: The presence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses up to $M_\bullet\sim10^9M_\odot$ at redshifts $z\simeq7.5$ suggests that their seeds may have started to grow long before the reionization in ambient medium with pristine chemical composition. During their latest 500Myr episode of growing from $z\geq10$ to $z\sim7$ the black holes shine as luminous as $10^{11}\hbox{--}10^{12}L_\odot$, with a cumulative spectrum consisting of the intrinsic continuum from hot accretion disk, nebular hydrogen and helium spectral lines and free-free continuum from gas of host halos. Here we address the question of whether such a plain spectrum would allow us to trace evolution of these growing SMBHs. In our calculations we assume that host galaxies have stellar populations with masses smaller than the mass of their central black holes -- the so-called obese black hole galaxies. Within this model we show that for a sufficiently high mass of gas in a host galaxy -- not smaller than the mass of a growing black hole, the cumulative spectrum in the far-infrared reveals a sharp transition from a quasi-blackbody Rayleigh-Jeans spectrum of the black hole $\proptoλ^{-2}$ to a flat free-free nebular continuum $λ^{0.118}$ on longer wavelength limit. Once such a transition in the spectrum is resolved, the black hole mass can be inferred as a combination of the observed wavelength at the transition $λ_k$ and the corresponding spectral luminosity. Possible observability of this effect in spectra of growing high-$z$ SMBHs and determination of their mass with the upcoming JWST and the planned space project Spektr-M is briefly discussed.

description: This Paper traces the history since its 1970 launch, operation and impacts of the scheme for peer recognition of outstanding contributions to agricultural progress within the UK. The Council for Awards (CARAS) is sponsored by the four national Royal Agricultural Societies (RAS) of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland andWales. CARAS awards Associateships (ARAgS) and Fellowships (FRAgS), under a Constitution reframed in 1984, revised in 1990. Potential Associates are invited to apply by National Panels in the four nations and required to provide a submission of their work to date, with two existing Fellows (FRAgS) to provide sponsor letters. Subject to satisfactory submission and sponsors’ letters, two Assessors are appointed from among existing Fellows to meet each candidate. The Assessors’ joint Report is then considered by a Moderator’s Panel of CARAS, which approves Associateships (ARAgS). Advancements to Fellowship (FRAgS) are conditional upon further outstanding contributions to UK agricultural progress based on citations to CARAS. The Paper reviews diverse benefits hypothesised for those thus recognised and some collective activities of members. It seeks to evaluate the impact of these awards in motivating excellence for UK agricultural progress and public benefit by analysis of responses from almost 600 recipients of the awards.

description: Domain walls are of increasing interest in ferroelectrics because of their unique properties and potential applications in future nanoelectronics. However, the thickness of ferroelastic domain walls remains elusive due to the challenges in experimental characterization. Here, we determine the atomic structure of ferroelastic domain walls and precisely measure the polarization and domain wall thickness at picometer scale using annular bright field imaging in an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope. We find that the domain wall thickness in PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 and PbTiO3 thin films is typically about one-unit cell, across which the oxygen octahedron distortion behavior is in excellent agreement with first principles calculations. Remarkably, wider domain walls about two-unit cells in thickness are also observed for those domains walls are coupled with dislocations and underwent a compressive strain. These results suggest that the thickness of ferroelastic domain walls highly depends on their atomic environments. This study can help us to understand the past debatable experimental results and provide further insights into control of domain walls via strain engineering for their possible applications in nanoelectronics.

description: In this paper we quantitatively investigate the statistical properties of an ensemble of {\it stock prices}. We selected 1200 stocks traded in the Tokyo Stock Exchange and formed a statistical ensemble of daily stock prices for each trading day in the 5 year period from January 4, 1988 to December 30, 1992. We found that the tail of the complementary cumulative distribution function of the ensembles is accurately described by a power-law distribution with an exponent that moves in the range of $ 1.7 < α< 2.2 $.

Gauge conditions for binary black hole puncture data based on an approximate helical Killing vector

description: We show that puncture data for quasicircular binary black hole orbits allow a special gauge choice that realizes some of the necessary conditions for the existence of an approximate helical Killing vector field. Introducing free parameters for the lapse at the punctures we can satisfy the condition that the Komar and ADM mass agree at spatial infinity. Several other conditions for an approximate Killing vector are then automatically satisfied, and the 3-metric evolves on a timescale smaller than the orbital timescale. The time derivative of the extrinsic curvature however remains significant. Nevertheless, quasicircular puncture data are not as far from possessing a helical Killing vector as one might have expected.

description: We introduce new analysis methods for studying the star cluster formation processes in Orion A, especially examining the scenario of a cloud-cloud collision. We utilize the CARMA-NRO Orion survey $^{13}$CO (1-0) data to compare molecular gas to the properties of YSOs from the SDSS III IN-SYNC survey. We show that the increase of $v_{\rm 13CO} - v_{\rm YSO}$ and $Σ$ scatter of older YSOs can be signals of cloud-cloud collision. SOFIA-upGREAT 158$μ$m [CII] archival data toward the northern part of Orion A are also compared to the $^{13}$CO data to test whether the position and velocity offsets between the emission from these two transitions resemble those predicted by a cloud-cloud collision model. We find that the northern part of Orion A, including regions ONC-OMC-1, OMC-2, OMC-3 and OMC-4, shows qualitative agreements with the cloud-cloud collision scenario, while in one of the southern regions, NGC1999, there is no indication of such a process in causing the birth of new stars. On the other hand, another southern cluster, L1641N, shows slight tendencies of cloud-cloud collision. Overall, our results support the cloud-cloud collision process as being an important mechanism for star cluster formation in Orion A.
