description: Accurate radial velocity determinations of optical emission lines (i.e. [NII]$λλ$6548,6584, H$α$, and [SII]$λλ$6717,6731) are very important for investigating the kinematics and dynamics properties of nebulae. The second stage survey program of Large sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) has started a sub-survey of nebulae (MRS-N) which will spectroscopically observe the optical emission lines of a large sample of nebulae near the Galactic plane. Until now, 15 MRS-N plates have been observed from 2017 September to 2019 June. Based on fitting the sky emission lines in the red band spectra of MRS-N, we investigate the precision of wavelength calibration and find there are systematic deviations of radial velocities (RVs) from $\sim$0.2 to 4 km/s for different plates. Especially for the plates obtained in 2018 March, the systematic deviations of RVs can be as large as $\sim$4 km/s, which then go down to $\sim$0.2-0.5 km/s at the end of 2018 and January 2019. A RVs calibration function is proposed for these MRS-N plates, which can simultaneously and successfully calibration the systematic deviations and improve the precision of RVs.

Particle Acceleration in Pair-Starved Pulsars

description: We investigate the physical situation above the pulsar polar cap (PC) where the accelerating primaries (electrons) are not capable of producing sufficient numbers of electron-positron pairs at low altitudes (within 1-2 stellar radii above the PC surface) to screen the accelerating electric field, and continue accelerating up to, at least, very high altitudes nearly approaching the light cylinder. We derive an analytic solution for the parallel electric field valid at high altitudes. The solution is based on the physical condition of asymptotic vanishing of the rotationally induced transverse electric field within the magnetic flux tube. This condition constrains the asymptotic value of the effective space charge that determines the distribution of the parallel electric field within the magnetic tube. Our estimates of low- to high-altitude values of the parallel electric field imply the occurrence of a regime of primary acceleration (with the characteristic Lorentz factor up to 1-2 X 10^7) all the way from the PC to the light cylinder limited by curvature-radiation reaction. In this model the primary outflow becomes asymptotically force-free, and may turn into a relativistic wind beyond the light cylinder. Such a solution will apply to both older pulsars producing only inverse Compton scattering pairs and younger very high B pulsars (magnetars). We suggest that pulsars, which are lying below the pair death line, may be radio-quiet gamma-ray sources.

description: Az árvízvédelmi töltések védelmében, az árvizek levonulásában, ezáltal ma-gában az árvízvédelemben a gyepesítésnek jelentős szerepe van. Gazdaságosságát nem lehet egzakt módon bizonyítani, hiszen míg a létesítési és fenntartási költségeket egyértelműen meghatározhatjuk, a bevételi oldal összetett és nehezen számszerűsíthető. Az árvízvédelmi földgátak gyepesítésének társadalmi hasznossága és gazda-sági előnye mégis vitathatatlan: - közvetlen gazdasági haszon: pl. fűtermés értékesítéséből származó bevétel; - közvetett gazdasági haszon: a kockáztatott vagyonérték sikeres védelme, emberélet védelme (nehezen számszerűsíthető, mérése a mikrorizikó (r) fogal-mának bevezetésével vált kivitelezhetővé); - a társadalom számára is több szempontból kedvező hatással van: • rekreációs lehetőséget nyújt a természetbe kirándulóknak; • megfelelő fenntartás esetén a gyomosodás visszaszorításával egészség-ügyi jelentősége is vitathatatlan; • a környezetvédelmi szerepe sem elhanyagolható. Problémát jelent egyelőre, hogy a gátak és a hozzájuk tartozó gyeptakaró fenntartásával foglalkozó állami szerveknek nem áll rendelkezésükre elég forrás, hogy tökéletesen végezhessék munkájukat (fenntartási munkálatokkal, mint pél-dául kaszálással, vagy vegyszeres növényzetszabályozással ezen gyepfelületek esetében is kalkulálni kell), de a társadalmi szemlélet fokozatos változása talán ennek kedvező alakulását is eredményezi a jövőben.

Its economic efficiency cannot be proven in an exact manner, because, while the establishment and maintenance costs can be clearly defined, the income side is complex and difficult to enumerate.
Concept-mapping the client’s perspective on counselling alliance formation
Creators: name: Bedi, Robinder Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to identify, categorize, and model clients' understanding of what behaviours are important in the initial formation of a counselling alliance. Forty participants who had participated in actual counselling were interviewed and asked what observable behaviours and verbalizations they thought had helped form or strengthen the alliance with their counsellor. These alliance formation factors (in the form of participant statements) were recorded on index cards and thirtyone participants then returned and sorted these statements into self-defined conceptually homogeneous categories. Multivariate Concept-Mapping statistical techniques were used to compute the "average" sort across the participants. This analytic method yields an aggregate representation of individual understandings using a conceptual structure derived from the participants on the basis of sequential multidimensional scaling, cluster analysis, and three-dimensional plotting procedure. In this study, 74 client-identified common factors were elicited and reliably categorized into the following 11 categories: Setting, Presentation & Body Language, Nonverbal Gestures, Emotional Support & Care, Honesty, Validation, Guidance & Challenge, Education, Referrals & Recommended Materials, Client's Personal Responsibility, and Session Administration. Participants understood adjacent categories in the above list as conceptually more similar constructs, while non-adjacent categories were understood as constructs more distinct from each other. The results indicate a discrepancy between the client's perspective on the alliance, as represented in this study, and those descriptions provided in the literature, which are generally derived from the practitioner's or investigator's perspectives. For example, the participants in this study saw alliance formation as counsellor-driven (rather than as collaborative or as involving much client agency), as affected by the counsellor's physical characteristics (such as attire)as developed largely through simple micro-skills (such as eye contact, identifying client feelings, and referring to information in past sessions), and as impacted notably by technical counsellor activity intended to directly affect outcome. This study also identified under-researched variables for inclusion into future investigations. This paper also discusses the methodological contributions of this research study, the limitations of the research study, and directions for future research.

description: The amount of entanglement that exists in a parametric down-converted state is investigated in terms of all the degrees of freedom of the state. We quantify the amount of entanglement by the Schmidt number of the state, represented as a pure bipartite state by tagging the down-converted photons in terms of orthogonal states of polarization with the aid of type II phase-matching. To facilitate our calculations, we use a Wigner functional approach, which allows the incorporation of the full infinite dimensional spatiotemporal degrees of freedom. A quantitative example with reasonably achievable experimental conditions is considered to demonstrate that extremely large Schmidt numbers are achievable.

description: This book, in order to generalize the two models of fuzzy cognitive maps and neutrosophic cognitive maps, has systematically invented mathematical tools like bimatrices, trimatrices, n-matrices, bigraphs, trigraphs and n-graphs and describe some of its properties. These concepts are also extended neutrosophically in this book. Using these new tools we define fuzzy cognitive bimaps, fuzzy cognitive trimaps, fuzzy relational bimaps and fuzzy relational trimaps which exploit the new notions of bimatrices, bigraphs, trimatrices and trigraphs. It is worth mentioning that these can be extended to n-array models as a simple exercise. The main advantage of these models are: 1. Comparative study of the views stage-by-stage is possible. 2. Several experts opinion can be compared not only at each stage but also the final result can easily be compared. 3. Saves time and economy. This book is organized into four chapters. The first chapter recalls the basic concepts of bimatrices and neutrosophic bimatrices. Second chapter introduces several new notions of graphs like bigraphs, trigraphs and their properties. Chapter three illustrates how these new tools are used in the construction of fuzzy cognitive bimaps, trimaps and n-maps and fuzzy relational bimaps, trimaps and n-maps. The neutrosophic analogues of chapter 3 is carried out in the fourth chapter. In this book, we have given nearly 95 examples to make the reader easily follow the definitions. We have also provided 125 figures for help in easily understanding the definition and examples. We have also given 25 real world problems as applications of Bimatrices to Fuzzy and Neutrosophic models.

description: Japán és a Távol-Kelet évtizedeken keresztül a világ egyéb térségeinek csodá-latát vívta ki elsősorban az átlagot meghaladó, gyors gazdasági növekedésével. Az 1990-es években a korábbi „keleti motor”-ként tekintett Japán gazdasága kü-lönleges helyzetbe került: a növekedés nagy mértékben lecsökkent, sőt hosszú időn keresztül alapvetően stagnált, az általánosan jellemző inflációt defláció váltotta fel. Ezek a jelenségek újból felkeltették a szakemberek érdeklődését a japán gazdaság iránt, egyfelől az előállt helyzet okainak feltárására, másfelől a megol-dások keresésére. A japán gazdaság megújulásának feltételeit döntően azok a té-nyezők határozzák meg, amelyek az elmúlt tíz évben a gyengélkedés okaiként je-lölhetők meg, mint pl. a hosszú ideig tartó defláció közgazdasági árai: a defláció következtében lecsökkent belső megtakarítások, az ennek következtében meg-torpant beruházások, a lakossági kereslet stagnálása; vagy a közösségi (kor-mányzati) költekezés gazdasági hatékonyságot nem növelő jellege, a külkereske-delem aktív mérlegének csökkenése, a nem megfelelő tőkekihelyezések, a pénz-ügyi és gazdaságpolitikai reformok elmaradása. Megállapítható az is, hogy a ja-pán agribusiness ebben a megújulási, megélénkülési folyamatban nem fog pozitív szerepet játszani, sőt inkább a további gazdasági nehézségek egyik forrása lesz. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX For decades Japan and the Far-East achieved the admiration of the rest of the world primarily for their above average, rapid economic development. In the 1990’s the Japanese economy so far consider as the engine of the east moved into a peculiar position: growth has declined to a large extent, even stagnated for an extended period of time and general inflation has been replaced by deflation. These phenomena have once again focused expert attention on the Japanese economy in trying to understand the causes and find remedies. The renewal of Japan’s economic conditions is determined decisively by the factors that in the past decade have been considered the causes of malaise, e.g. the economic prices of deflation for an extended period: decline of domestic savings due to deflation, therefore faltering investments, stagnating domestic consumption, communal (government) spending unaffecting (not increasing) the efficiency of economy, declining balance of payments in foreign trading, inappropriate foreign investments, and neglect of economic reforms. It would appear the Japanese agri-business will not play a positive part in the process of renewal, rather it will be a source of further economic difficulties.

description: Rural residents have higher rates of age-adjusted mortality, disability, and chronic disease than their urban counterparts, though mortality and disability rates vary more by region than by metro status. Contributing negatively to the health status of rural residents are their lower socioeconomic status, higher incidence of both smoking and obesity, and lower levels of physical activity. Contributing negatively to the health status of farmers are the high risks from workplace hazards, which also affect other members of farm families who live on the premises and often share in the work; contributing positively are farmers’ higher socioeconomic status, lower incidence of smoking, and more active lifestyle. Both farm and rural populations experience lower access to health care along the dimensions of affordability, proximity, and quality, compared with their nonfarm and urban counterparts.

description: Many scholars point to the fact that the logic of economics: maxi­mization of utility, profit and productivity, is found not only in the rules of free-market economy, work or consumption of goods and services, but also in the sphere of interpersonal relations. Commonly used terms, words, or phraseologies that describe relationship with another person, point to the penetration of the logic of hard economics into this sphere of life. According to the thesis of language determinism, the language we use in communication with others also has the power to create reality. The unreflective use of certain concepts makes them a part of the familiar „normal world”, not only do not arouse resentment, but even surprise or dissonance, moreover, affect our behaviour in the face of various events and with other people.

description: Wielu badaczy wskazuje na fakt, że logika ekonomii, czyli maksymalizacja użyteczności, zysków, wydajności, nie tylko znajduje wyraz w regułach gospodarki wolnorynkowej, wykonywanej pracy zawodowej czy konsumpcji dóbr i usług, lecz także nie pozostaje bez wyraźnego wpływu na sferę stosunków międzyludzkich. Powszechnie używane pojęcia, słowa czy związki frazeologiczne, opisujące relację z drugim człowiekiem, wskazują na przenikanie logiki twardej ekonomii do tej sfery życia. Zgodnie z tezą determinizmu językowego język, jakiego używamy w komunikacji z innymi, ma też moc kreowania rzeczywistości. Bezrefleksyjne używanie pewnych pojęć sprawia, że stają się one częścią oswojonego, „normalnego” świata i nie tylko nie budzą niechęci czy nawet zdziwienia bądź jakiegokolwiek dysonansu, lecz także wpływają na nasze zachowania w obliczu różnych zdarzeń oraz w stosunku do innych ludzi.

description: We present evidence that there is a non-trivial fixed point for the AdS_{D+1} non-linear sigma model in two dimensions, without any matter fields or additional couplings beyond the standard quadratic action subject to a quadratic constraint. A zero of the beta function, both in the bosonic and supersymmetric cases, appears to arise from competition between one-loop and higher loop effects. A string vacuum based on such a fixed point would have string scale curvature. The evidence presented is based on fixed-order calculations carried to four loops (corresponding to O(α'^3) in the spacetime effective action) and on large D calculations carried to O(D^{-2}) (but to all orders in α'). We discuss ways in which the evidence might be misleading, and we discuss some features of the putative fixed point, including the central charge and an operator of negative dimension. We speculate that an approximately AdS_5 version of this construction may provide a holographic dual for pure Yang-Mills theory, and that quotients of an AdS_3 version might stand in for Calabi-Yau manifolds in compactifications to four dimensions.

Water institutions, markets and decentralized resource management: Prospects for innovative policy reforms in irrigated agriculture

Subjects: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: Increasing scarcity and competition for water resources has led to international recognition that public policies must change to manage water as an economic commodity. An analysis of natural resources and markets shows that limited potential exists in a regional context for trade in 'virtual water' through food imports. Policy options for intra- and intersectoral water reallocation must therefore receive priority attention. Based on experiences in other countries, emphasis is placed on successful innovations of markets in tradable water rights, local management, user-based performance assessment and water saving technologies in irrigated agriculture. The recently published National Water Policy for South Africa and draft National Water Bill that has been released for discussion are accordingly evaluated. With application of the theory of New Institutional Economics, a number of deficiencies in the accepted principles and policy measures become apparent. It is clear that the proposed water licences are insecure; this will not induce efficient market allocations nor will it enable effective participation of water users in water management. Further economic contributions in policy making are required for the design of unattenuated water entitlements in order to achieve correct pricing incentives.

description: Quantitatively understanding of the dynamics of an active Brownian particle (ABP) interacting with a viscoelastic polymer environment is a scientific challenge. It is intimately related to several interdisciplinary topics such as the microrheology of active colloids in a polymer matrix and the athermal dynamics of the in vivo chromosome or cytoskeletal networks. Based on Langevin dynamics simulation and analytic theory, here we explore such a viscoelastic active system in depth using a star polymer of functionality $f$ with the center cross-linker particle being ABP. We observe that the ABP cross-linker, despite its self-propelled movement, attains an active subdiffusion with the scaling $\langleΔ\mathbf{R}^2(t)\rangle\sim t^α$ with $α\leq 1/2$, through the viscoelastic feedback from the polymer. Counter-intuitively, the apparent anomaly exponent $α$ becomes smaller as the ABP is driven by a larger propulsion velocity, but is independent of the functionality $f$ or the boundary conditions of the polymer. We set forth an exact theory, and show that the motion of the active cross-linker is a gaussian non-Markovian process characterized by two distinct power-law displacement correlations. At a moderate P{é}clet number, it seemingly behaves as fractional Brownian motion with a Hurst exponent $H=α/2$, whereas, at a high P{é}clet number, the self-propelled noise in the polymer environment leads to a logarithmic growth of the mean squared displacement ($\sim \ln t$) and a velocity autocorrelation decaying as $-t^{-2}$. We demonstrate that the anomalous diffusion of the active cross-linker is precisely described by a fractional Langevin equation with two distinct random noises.

description: Your Conference Organising Committee has done me a signal honour in asking me to deliver the Simon Brand Memorial Lecture. Indeed, I feel doubly honoured since Simon Brand was a personal friend of mine and someone whom I held in high esteem. He was a man of integrity, and this, together with his intellectual rigour, led to his being highly respected by all shades of political opinion. He played an important role in supporting socio-political change in South Africa, and I have no doubt that, but for his untimely death, he would have assumed an even more important role in the new South Africa post-1994. One of the fields in which he had become increasingly interested was that of economic cooperation across the Southern African region. As Simon Brand was an agricultural economist by training, I hope he would have approved of the topic which I have chosen to consider in this lecture.

description: An input-output framework with environmental accounting module was used to investigate the implications of liberalising agricultural trade on the environment in South Africa. The results showed that trade liberalisation in the case of agricultural commodities will lead to environmental improvement. The empirical multi-sector model results were consistent with theoretical results obtained from comparative-statics partial-equilibrium trade models for the case of goods the production of which is associated with environmental externality and their domestic prices above world prices. The study suggested a general equilibrium approach, allowing for more flexible structure of substitution in demand and supply, output composition response, income effects and improved measures of environmental impact parameters for proper assessment of welfare changes associated with environmental externalities.

Understanding young women’s experiences of self-affirming sexualities
Creators: name: Hurtig-Mitchell, R. Joss
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this research was to enhance the current understanding of young women's experience of self-affirming sexuality. Both a feminist social constructionist paradigm and a phenomenological qualitative paradigm were utilized to explore and describe the social context and personal experience of women between the ages of 25 and 30 who experience their sexuality as an affirming aspect of their lives. A deconstruction of the dominant discourse of women's sexuality provided the contextualization to understand this experience. Phenomenological interviews with 7 young women (ages 25 to 30) provided in-depth and detailed descriptions of young women's experiences of self-affirming sexuality. The question guiding these interviews was: What is the meaning and experience of self-affirming sexuality for young women? These interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed using Colaizzi's (1978) seven-step method for thematic analysis of phenomenological data. Within the women's experiences of self-affirming sexuality a common process and four common themes, with sub-themes emerged. The women described a journey towards self-affirming sexuality, experiencing integrity of self, finding a sense of agency in sexuality, a sense of connection through sexuality, and experiencing celebration in sexuality. These themes were compared with the dominant discourse to understand how the participant's marginalized experiences of self-affirming sexuality reflect and/or resist dominant male defined constructions of sexuality. The implications of the themes, and their comparison with the dominant discourse are discussed in terms of future research and counselling.

On this basis, three possible locations of forward proton detectors were identified: 150, 180 and 430 m from IP8. For these locations geometric acceptances were estimated. For the proton relative energy loss, $ξ$, these limits are $0.05 < ξ\lesssim 0.1$, $0.025 < ξ\lesssim 0.1$ and $0.003 < ξ< 0.013$, respectively. The influence of boost of the central system due to the acceptance of LHCb detector on $ξ$ was discussed. Finally, the impact of pile-up was presented.

description: The present work deals with dynamical system analysis of Holographic Dark Energy cosmological model with different infra-red (IR)-cutoff. By suitable transformation of variables the Einstein field equations are converted to an autonomous system. The critical points are determined and the stability of the equilibrium points are examined by Center Manifold Theory and Liapunov function method. Possible bifurcation scenarios have also been explained.

description: The global agricultural marketing environment is changing rapidly. Coupled with the advance in technology, a borderless society is emerging that necessitates a rethinking of traditional agricultural policies. This paper analyses this trend by presenting an overview of issues currently affecting agricultural trade, both globally and in South Africa. The latter has undergone a significant deregulation and liberalisation process of its own. Coupled with global trends towards even further deregulation, especially during the 1999 round of multilateral trade negotiations, agricultural industries and economists will be required to focus their attention in this direction. While the former need to devise strategies that will enhance their international competitiveness within a deregulated environment, the latter will have to become involved in the policy debate surrounding this issue. This necessitates, however, on both sides, an improvement of theoretical knowledge of international trade, as well as an understanding of global issues.

description: Additional file 5: Table S3. SDhaP with and without linked-read information. For the latter, the input data is considered as regular Illumina reads and barcodes are not used. The dataset is simulated using 1 Mb of chromosome one of potato genome with a SNP rate of 0.01. The coverage is 10. The results are averaged over 5 independent simulations. For the third row, we split the 1 Mb region into three independent parts of the same size. The last two rows present results of Hap++ and Hap10 on the same data.

description: The Monash Smart Energy City project provides a lens into the Clayton campus of Monash University, where distributed energy resources (DERs) appear as if they were instruments in a research laboratory. An outcome of the project is the Distributed and Intelligent Power Systems (DIPS) platform (see our recent announcement). DIPS brokers the large volume of data from sensors in a dynamic power environment, enabling predictive analysis and archiving for later use. This blog is about the pilot DIPS experiment, which employs machine learning (ML) to forecast and estimate grid conditions for improved control and operational actions. Since machine learning can detect complex and abstract features directly from data without human biases, we wanted to explore a range of ML approaches to find the most suitable for forecasting at the edge of critical power systems.

description: Technological information is used to assess KwaZulu-Natal commercial sugarcane farmers' intra-plot (panel) soil conservation relative to requirements of the Conservation of Natural Resources Act of 1983. Findings indicate that farmers consider enforcement of the Act to be unlikely and that 28 percent of farmers surveyed do not meet adequate intra-panel soil conservation standards. Multiple regression is used to estimate models representing intra-panel soil conservation adoption and soil conservation effort. Results show that farmers have greater conservation adoption and effort on their relatively steeper panels and implement soil conservation plans on these panels first. Amongst other factors, education and use of extension information sources are positively related to both conservation adoption and effort, and soil conservation decisions are constrained by financial resources, management time and farmers' technical abilities.

description: Few examples of the exploitation of molecular magnetic properties in molecular electronics are known to date. Here we propose the realization of Self assembled monolayers (SAM) of a particular stable organic radical. This radical is meant to be used as a standard molecule on which to prove the validity of a single spin reading procedure known as ESR-STM. We also discuss a range of possible applications, further than ESR-STM, of magnetic monolayers of simple purely organic magnetic molecule.

description: We present measurements and a theoretical model for the interplay of spin dependent interactions and external magnetic fields in atomic spinor condensates. We highlight general features like quadratic Zeeman dephasing and its influence on coherent spin mixing processes by focusing on a specific coherent superposition state in a F=1 $^{87}$Rb Bose-Einstein condensate. In particular, we observe the transition from coherent spinor oscillations to thermal equilibration.

description: The objective in this report is to outline a relatively inexpensive way to assess household dietary adequacy in rural Mozambique. The inclusion of 24-hour food consumption questions in a national survey would provide an opportunity to do this. Due to cost-considerations, food consumption information collected on a national scale needs to be simple, especially given the other information demands on most agricultural or health surveys. Thus, a full quantitative assessment of the foods eaten by a household in the previous 24 hours is not possible. However, a survey that just collected information on which foods were consumed at which meals in the previous day would be sufficient. How do we translate qualitative information on the types of foods eaten into a quantitative assessment of dietary adequacy? This paper demonstrates a technique calibrated with data from a previous intensive study of food consumption in rural Mozambique. The method proposed in this report is based on data collected in the 1995-96 Nampula/Cabo Delgado (NCD) study.

description: Recently a generic class of three-dimensional band structures was identified that host two-fold line degeneracies meeting at three-fold or triple point degeneracies, which resist the usual topological characterization of isolated point degeneracies as in Dirac/Weyl semimetals. For these so-called ``Nexus" fermions which lie beyond Dirac/Weyl fermions, we lay out several concepts to characterize the wavefunction geometry and spell out its topology. Our approach is based on an understanding of the analyticity properties of Nexus wavefunctions building on a two-dimensional analogue studied recently by us. We use this to write down a homological classification of various Nexus triple point degeneracies in three dimensions.

description: "[M]athematicians care no more for logic than logicians for mathematics." Augustus de Morgan, 1868. Proofs are traditionally syntactic, inductively generated objects. This paper presents an abstract mathematical formulation of propositional calculus (propositional logic) in which proofs are combinatorial (graph-theoretic), rather than syntactic. It defines a *combinatorial proof* of a proposition P as a graph homomorphism h : C -> G(P), where G(P) is a graph associated with P and C is a coloured graph. The main theorem is soundness and completeness: P is true iff there exists a combinatorial proof h : C -> G(P).
description: Appears in Annals of Mathematics, 2006. 5 pages + references. Version 1 is submitted version; v3 is final published version (in two-column format rather than Annals style). Changes for v2: dualised definition of combinatorial truth, thereby shortening some subsequent proofs; added references; corrected typos; minor reworking of some sentences/paragraphs; added comments on polynomial-time correctness (referee request). Changes for v3: corrected two typos, reworded one sentence, repeated a citation in Notes section

description: We compute the color-singlet and color-octet nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) long-distance matrix elements for inclusive production of $P$-wave quarkonia in the framework of potential NRQCD. In this way, the color-octet NRQCD long-distance matrix element can be determined without relying on measured cross section data, which has not been possible so far. We obtain inclusive cross sections of $χ_{cJ}$ and $χ_{bJ}$ at the LHC, which are in good agreement with data. In principle, the formalism developed in this Letter can be applied to all inclusive production processes of heavy quarkonia.
