description: This paper deals with innovation in supply chains and discusses the effects that its organisation (e.g., bargaining power along the chain) might bring on innovation and ultimately to the sustainability of the chain. The analysis was carried out considering the case of the UK potato sector and by comparing three case studies: the first two consider the situation of a supply chain that sells fresh potatoes to retailers (one in South England and another in Scotland), whilst the third one consists of a supply chain that produces potatoes to be further processed. The results indicate that the supply chain leader plays an important role in both in the organisation of the chain and in the initialisation, management and success of the innovation.

description: Transport and magnetic studies on polycrystalline samples of SrFe1-xCoxO3-d have been carried out to investigate the relationship between the magnetic structure and the anomalous Hall resistivity rH. The hysteretic behavior of the magnetization observed in the measurements with varying temperature T up and then down after zero field cooling indicates that the system has the reentrant spin-glass phase, which is supported by the increasing width of the magnetic reflections observed by neutron diffraction with decreasing T below the Curie temperature TC. Detailed analyses of the observed Hall resistivity rH indicate that the anomalous Hall coefficient exhibits unusual behavior in the reentrant spin-glass phase. The magnetic field (H)- and T-dependence of the magnetoresistance of the present system can be understood by a spin dependent tunneling model.

Inertial waves in axisymmetric tropical cyclones

Subjects: subject: Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics (physics.ao-ph)

description: The heat engine model of tropical cyclones describes a thermally direct overturning circulation. Outflowing air slowly subsides as radiative cooling to space balances adiabatic warming, a process that does not consume any work. However, we show here that the lateral spread of the outflow is limited by the environmental deformation radius, which at high latitudes can be rather small. In such cases, the outflowing air is radially constrained, which limits how far downward it can subside via radiative cooling alone. Some literature has invoked the possibility of `mechanical subsidence' or `forced descent' in the storm outflow region in the presence of high inertial stability, which would be a thermally indirect circulation. Mechanical subsidence in the subsiding branch of a tropical cyclone has not before been observed or characterized. A series of axisymmetric tropical cyclone simulations at different latitudes and domain sizes is conducted to study the impact of environmental inertial stability on storm dynamics. In higher latitude storms in large axisymmetric domains, the outflow acts as a wavemaker to excite an inertial wave at the environmental inertial (Coriolis) frequency. This inertial wave periodically ventilates the core of a high-latitude storm with its own low entropy exhaust air. The wave response is in contrast to the presumed forced descent model, and we hypothesize that this is because inertial stability provides less resistance than buoyant stability, even in highly inertially stable environments.

description: This paper aims to understand the state of adjustment process and dynamic structure in Polish agriculture. A dynamic cost frontier model using the shadow cost approach is formulated to decompose cost efficiency into allocative and technical efficiencies. The dynamic cost efficiency model is developed into a more general context with a multiple quasi-fixed factor case. The model is implemented empirically using a panel data set of 1,143 Polish farms over the period 2004 to 2007. Due to the regional disparities and a wide variety of farm specialization, farms are categorized into two regions and five types of farm production specialization. The estimation results confirm our observation that adjustment is rather sluggish implying that adjustment cost are considerably high. It takes up to 30 years until Polish farmers reach their optimal level of capital and land input. Allocative and technical efficiency differ widely across regions. Moreover, efficiency is rather stable over time and among farm specialisations. However, their results indicate that the regions characterized by the larger farms perform slightly better.

description: The new macrocyclic ligand L (28,29-dimethoxy-27-oxa-8,11,14,17,25,26-hexaazatetracyclo[22.2.1.1(2,6).1(19,23)]nonacosa-2,4,6(28),19,21,23(29),24,26(1)-octaene) has been synthesised. It contains a tetramine chain and the 2,5-bis(2-methoxy-3-metyl-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PPD-OMe) chromophore, acting as coordinating and sensing units, respectively. The fluorescent emission of L depends on the pH being highly fluorescent at pH = 2 and not emitting from pH >10. The studies highlighted that L is a PET mediated emitting chemosensor, being the PET effect regulated by the degree of the tetraamine protonation. L coordinates metal ions (Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)) in water giving rise to an OFF-ON fluorescent response for the presence of Zn(II) ion thus signalling its presence in the medium. This response is particularly notable at pH = 9 allowing to extend the Zn(II) sensing also in the alkaline pH field.

description: Fluctuations in the redshifted 21 centimeter emission from neutral hydrogen probe the epoch of reionization. We examine the observability of this signal and the impact of extragalactic foreground radio sources. We use cosmological simulations to predict the angular correlation functions of intensity fluctuations due to unresolved radio galaxies, cluster radio halos and relics and free-free emission from the interstellar and intergalactic medium at the frequencies and angular scales relevant for the proposed 21cm tomography. In accord with previous findings, the brightness temperature fluctuations due to foreground sources are much larger than those from the primary 21cm signal at all scales. In particular, diffuse cluster radio emission, which has been previously neglected, provides the most significant foreground contamination. However, we show that the contribution to the angular fluctuations at scales θ> 1' is dominated by the spatial clustering of bright foreground sources. This excess can be removed if sources above flux levels S > 0.1 mJy are detected and removed. Hence, efficient source removal may be sufficient to allow the detection of angular fluctuations in the 21cm emission free of extragalactic foregrounds at θ> 1 arcmin. In addition, the removal of sources above S=0.1 mJy also reduces the foreground fluctuations to roughly the same level as the 21cm signal at scales θ< 1 arcmin. This should allow the substraction of the foreground components in frequency space, making it possible to observe in detail the topology and history of reionization.

description: Herein we describe a simple method for the synthesis of polymer nanocarrier for the doxorubicin delivery. The nanocarrier consists of N-methyl-glucamine resorcinarenes that are covalently bound to phenylboronic acid. The nanocarrier is stable at normal pH but is hydrolysed at pH below 6. It demonstrates low cytotoxicity and haemolytic activity. Doxorubicin was successfully loaded into the nanocarriers cavity and its release occurs at pH. Flow cytometry data showed that the carrier improves the penetration of doxorubicin into M-Hela cancer cell lines. The encapsulated doxorubicin demonstrates higher cytotoxicity towards the cancer cells. Graphical Abstract

description: In sub-Saharan Africa, there is paucity of information on the potential of groundwater resources. The limited available information paints a pessimistic view about groundwater resources. Due to its perceived inadequate availability, groundwater associated with domestic use and the potential for using it for agriculture are not well reflected in the national irrigation polices. Contrary to official pessimism, farmers do use groundwater for agriculture in many countries of sub-Saharan Africa including Ghana. This paper analyzes the current extent of use, economics, socioeconomic impacts, and constraints and opportunities of shallow groundwater irrigation based on the experiences of smallholders in the three micro-watersheds of the White Volta Basin in the Upper East Region of Ghana.

description: While the vast majority of known physical realizations of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) have repulsive interactions defined with the dimensionless interaction parameter $K_{\rm c}<1$, we here report that Rb$_2$Mo$_3$As$_3$ is in the opposite TLL regime of attractive interactions. This is concluded from a TLL-characteristic power-law temperature dependence of the $^{87}$Rb spin-lattice relaxation rates over broad temperature range yielding the TLL interaction parameter for charge collective modes $K_{\rm c}=1.4$. The TLL of the one-dimensional band can be traced almost down to $T_{\rm c} = 10.4 $~K, where the bulk superconducting state is stabilized by the presence of a three-dimensional band and characterized by the $^{87}$Rb temperature independent Knight shift and the absence of Hebel-Slichter coherence peak in the relaxation rates. The small superconducting gap measured in high magnetic fields reflects either the importance of the vortex core relaxation or the uniqueness of the superconducting state stemming from the attractive interactions defining the precursor TLL.

Early Estimation of Microlensing Event Magnifications

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Gravitational microlensing events with high peak magnifications provide a much enhanced sensitivity to the detection of planets around the lens star. However, estimates of peak magnification during the early stages of an event by means of chi^2 minimization frequently involve an overprediction, making observing campaigns with strategies that rely on these predictions inefficient. I show that a rudimentary Bayesian formulation, incorporating the known statistical characteristics of a detection system, produces much more accurate predictions of peak magnification than chi^2 minimisation. Implementation of this system will allow efficient follow-up observing programs that focus solely on events that contribute to planetary abundance statistics.

description: The early identification of malignant pulmonary nodules is critical for better lung cancer prognosis and less invasive chemo or radio therapies. Nodule malignancy assessment done by radiologists is extremely useful for planning a preventive intervention but is, unfortunately, a complex, time-consuming and error-prone task. This explains the lack of large datasets containing radiologists malignancy characterization of nodules. In this article, we propose to assess nodule malignancy through 3D convolutional neural networks and to integrate it in an automated end-to-end existing pipeline of lung cancer detection. For training and testing purposes we used independent subsets of the LIDC dataset. Adding the probabilities of nodules malignity in a baseline lung cancer pipeline improved its F1-weighted score by 14.7%, whereas integrating the malignancy model itself using transfer learning outperformed the baseline prediction by 11.8% of F1-weighted score. Despite the limited size of the lung cancer datasets, integrating predictive models of nodule malignancy improves prediction of lung cancer.

The magnetizations M measured under the conditions of the zero-field-cooling(ZFC) and the field-cooling(FC) have different values below the temperature T=TG. The anomalous T-dependence of the electrical resistivities r and the thermoelectric powers S observed at around TG indicates that the behavior of the magnetization is due to the transition to the state with the spin freezing. In this spin-frozen state, the Hall resistivities rH measured with the ZFC and FC conditions are found to have different values, too, in the low temperature phase (T

Topology Design Algorithms for Maximizing Flows in Multi-Hop UAVs Networks

Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: Thanks to the rapid advancements in wireless communications, sensors, and electronics, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become more and more popular in communication systems. In particular, motivated by their versatility, low deployment cost, and networking capability, a swarm of UAVs can construct a multi-hop wireless network to connect remote or isolated ground users to the Internet, and thereby improve the coverage of existing communication networks. In addition to improving the capacity and coverage of communication networks, UAVs can also provide in-situ computing services. For example, UAVs can act as mobile servers in Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) systems. Moreover, with the advancement of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technology, UAVs can host Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) to process incoming traffic that belongs to different users.Henceforth, this thesis aims to address topology construction problems where it considers placing UAVs to create a wireless backhaul that meets the following objectives: (i) maximum flow, or (ii) maximum computed flow. Objective (i) concerns the maximum amount of traffic between one or more source-destination pairs. In this respect, this thesis considers two scenarios. The first scenario contains homogeneous quad-rotor UAVs. The problem at hand is to determine the hovering location of a set of quad-rotor UAVs to create a multi-hop wireless backhaul that maximizes the flow rate between a source and destination ground node pair. In this regard, it outlines a mixed integer linear problem (MILP) to select the optimal location of UAVs and determine the amount of flow on each constructed link. Further, it presents a heuristic algorithm to place UAVs according to their distance to the destination node. Moreover, a distributed solution based on Gibbs sampling is also introduced to allow each UAV to learn its location independently. The simulation results show that the proposed heuristic algorithm and the distributed solution achieve respectively 85% and 72% of the optimal maximum flow.

description: We designed, fabricated and tested gallium phosphide (GaP) nano-waveguides for second harmonic generation (SHG). We demonstrate SHG in the visible range around 655 nm using low power continuous-wave pump in the optical communication O-band. Our structures utilize modal phase matching, such that lower order eigenmodes of the pump are phase matched to higher order eigenmodes of the second harmonic. We observe phase matched SHG for different combinations of interacting modes by varying the widths of the waveguides and tuning the wavelength of the pump. The presented results contribute to the development of integrated photonic platforms with efficient nonlinear wave-mixing processes for classical and quantum applications.

description: In this study, novel pyrazine-2-carboxylate derivatives of calix[4, 8]arene have been synthesised and fully characterised. Furthermore, this study presents removal of carcinogenic azo dyes [Reactive Black 5 (RB5), Trapaeolin 000 (TP), Chicago Sky Blue (CSB), Methyl Orange (MO) and Evans Blue (EB)] from the aqueous solution by solid-liquid extraction using these novel compounds. The maximum sorption of azo dyes was achieved at pH 3. Calix[8]arene derivative (3) showed higher sorption as it formed a more stable complex with azo dyes than calix[4]arene derivative (6). An excellent regeneration for at least five times in sorption capacity indicates that calix[8]arene derivative (3) was highly applicable for the removal of carcinogenic azo dyes from industrial wastewater. The stoichiometric ratio between the calixarene derivatives (3 and 6) and selected azo dyes was estimated through job’s plots.

description: We study the in-medium properties of mesons $(π,η,ρ)$ and baryon resonances in cold nuclear matter within a coupled-channel analysis. The meson self energies are generated by particle-hole excitations. Thus multi-peak spectra are obtained for the mesonic spectral functions. In turn this leads to medium-modifications of the baryon resonances. Special care is taken to respect the analyticity of the spectral functions and to take into account effects from short-range correlations both for positive and negative parity states. Our model produces sensible results for pion and $Δ$ dynamics in nuclear matter. We find a strong interplay of the $ρ$ meson and the $D_{13}(1520)$, which moves spectral strength of the $ρ$ spectrum to smaller invariant masses and leads to a broadening of the baryon resonance. The optical potential for the $η$ meson resulting from our model is rather attractive whereas the in-medium properties modifications of the $S_{11}(1535)$ are found to be quite small.

description: The cross section for electron-impact single ionisation of W14+ ions has been calculated by using two different approaches, i.e., the subconfiguration averaged distorted-wave (SCADW) method and the more involved level-to-level distorted-wave (LLDW) method. Both methods are found to yield very similar results except for the 4d->5d excitation-autoionisation (EA) channels that straddles the ionisation threshold. Accordingly, a hybrid theoretical cross section where the $4d\to 5d$ EA SCADW cross section is replaced by its LLDW counterpart is in good agreement with the experimental result from an electron-ion crossed-beams experiment. This is in contrast to pure SCADW calculations for W14+ and neighbouring charge states which exhibit significant deviations from the experimental near-threshold cross sections of Schury et al. [J. Phys. B 53 (2020) 015201].

description: The decision for buying a heating system is a long-term one, as many different aspects have an influence on this choice which were analysed in a Germany-wide, written survey. The respondents (only owners of a private house) had to answer questions about their attitude towards e.g. economics, convenience or ecological aspects related to heating systems and the respective combustibles. Using a multinomial logistic regression model the choice of the heating system is mainly explained by ecological attitudes and the estimation of different combustibles.

description: In this study, fifty-four wheat flour and wheat-based products available on the Hungarian market were assessed for twelve mycotoxins. Prior to analysis, a multi-mycotoxin method using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for wheat and wheat-based products. A simple extraction with acetonitrile/water/formic acid (79/20/1 v/v%) was used for sample preparation. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) were between 0.02 and 161 μg kg−1. Good linearity (r2 > 0.995) was achieved for all mycotoxins investigated. Recoveries varied between 88 and 120% at three concentration levels. Based on the low relative matrix effect (RSD < 0.15%) of the different wheat flour samples, matrix-matched calibration was used, which also proved its suitability in proficiency testing (z-scores: −0.6 for DON; +1.5 for OTA; −0.5 for ZEA). DON was the predominant mycotoxin, which contaminated 84% of the investigated samples. Metabolised forms of DON were found in spelt, durum flour and some wheat-based products (D3G in 4 samples, 15Ac-DON in 7 samples). T-2 and HT-2 were the second most frequently detected mycotoxins. All investigated samples complied with current European/Hungarian legislation.
Validity and failure of some entropy inequalities for CAR systems

description: Basic properties of von Neumann entropy such as the triangle inequality and what we call MONO-SSA are studied for CAR systems. We show that both inequalities hold for any even state. We construct a certain class of noneven states giving counter examples of those inequalities. It is not always possible to extend a set of prepared states on disjoint regions to some joint state on the whole region for CAR systems. However, for every even state, we have its `symmetric purification' by which the validity of those inequalities is shown. Some (realized) noneven states have peculiar state correlations among subsystems and induce the failure of those inequalities.

description: We calculate the Fermi surface and the anisotropic heavy masses of UPd2Al3 by keeping two of the 5f electrons as localized. Good agreement with experiments is found. The theory contains essentially no adjustable parameter except for a small shift of the position of the Fermi energy of the order of a few meV. A discussion is given why localization of two f electrons is justified.

description: We study $np\to ΛΘ^{+}$ and $np\to Σ^{0}Θ^{+}$ processes for both of the positive and negative parities of the $Θ^{+}$. Employing the effective chiral Lagrangians for the $KNY$ and $K^*NY$ interactions, we calculate differential cross sections as well as total cross sections for the $np\to Σ^0 Θ^+$ and $np\to ΛΘ^+$ reactions. The total cross sections for the positive-parity $Θ^+$ turn out to be approximately ten times larger than those for the negative parity $Θ^+$ in the range of the CM energy $\sqrt{s}_{\rm th}\le \sqrt{s}\le 3.5 {\rm GeV}$. The results are rather sensitive to the mechanism of $K$ exchanges in the $t$ -- channel.

description: We characterize InSb quantum dots induced by bottom finger gates within a nanowire that is grown via the vapor-liquid-solid process. The gates are separated from the nanowire by an exfoliated 35\,nm thin hexagonal BN flake. We probe the Coulomb diamonds of the gate induced quantum dot exhibiting charging energies of $\sim 2.5\,\mathrm{meV}$ and orbital excitation energies up to $0.3\,\mathrm{meV}$. The gate hysteresis for sweeps covering 5 Coulomb diamonds reveals an energy hysteresis of only $60\mathrm{μeV}$ between upwards and downwards sweeps. Charge noise is studied via long-term measurements at the slope of a Coulomb peak revealing potential fluctuations of $\sim 1\,μ\mathrm{eV}/\mathrm{\sqrt{Hz}}$ at 1\,Hz. This makes h-BN the dielectric with the currently lowest gate hysteresis and lowest low-frequency potential fluctuations reported for low-gap III-V nanowires. The extracted values are similar to state-of-the art quantum dots within Si/SiGe and Si/SiO${_2}$ systems.

Intake of food supplements based on algae or cyanobacteria may pose a health risk due to elevated concentrations of arsenic species

description: Despite the health benefits of food supplements (FS) based on algae or cyanobacteria, the elevated arsenic (As) concentrations in these FS may raise a health concern. In the present study 33 FS containing algae or cyanobacteria were collected and As (species) were analysed to estimate consumer exposure. Based on hazard and exposure data, potential risks were evaluated using inorganic arsenic (Asi) and the potentially toxic As fraction (Astot minus arsenobetaine (AB)). Astot concentrations were in the range 0.053–57 mg/kg with highest concentrations in FS containing brown algae. Asi concentrations were in the range <0.02–4.7 mg kg−1. A large part of As in FS containing algae or cyanobacteria was identified as potentially toxic AsSugars species. Negligible amounts of AB were detected. According to a tentative risk evaluation, the intake of Asi related to all FS collected was of no health concern for the general population. In 8 out of 33 of the analysed FS, however, the Asi concentration was of concern for population groups with increased cancer risks. If all As species except the non-toxic AB were taken into consideration, only 26 out of 33 of the FS showed ‘no concern’ for the general population, while for the other 7 FS a potential health risk was identified. This study indicates the need to obtain more data on toxicity of AsSugars and to develop limits for As (species) in FS.
Initial states and decoherence of histories

description: We study decoherence properties of arbitrarily long histories constructed from a fixed projective partition of a finite dimensional Hilbert space. We show that decoherence of such histories for all initial states that are naturally induced by the projective partition implies decoherence for arbitrary initial states. In addition we generalize the simple necessary decoherence condition [Scherer et al., Phys. Lett. A (2004)] for such histories to the case of arbitrary coarse-graining.

The integral theorem of generalized virial in the relativistic uniform model
Creators: name: Fedosin, Sergey G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the relativistic uniform model for continuous medium the integral theorem of generalized virial is derived, in which generalized momenta are used as particles momenta. This allows us to find exact formulas for the radial component of the velocity of typical particles of the system and for their root-mean-square speed, without using the notion of temperature. The relation between the theorem and the cosmological constant, characterizing the physical system under consideration, is shown. The difference is explained between the kinetic energy and the energy of motion, the value of which is equal to half the sum of the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian. This difference is due to the fact that the proper fields of each particle have mass-energy, which makes an additional contribution into the kinetic energy. As a result, the total energy of motion of particles and fields is obtained.

description: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is prohibitively expensive at the moment and therefore not easily accessible in low-income countries. An additional problem is the requirement of consistent reliable electricity to power the devices. A new low-cost NPWT device was designed from low cost and simple materials and it can be built and operated following a simple set of instructions. The so-called Gravity device was made from parts costing just under £6 GBP (May 2016) and it creates a constant pressure of 125 mmHg. Gravity operated from 4 hours and 40 minutes up to 5 hours and 18 minutes before needing to be reset. This reset can be achieved without patient involvement. Gravity was taken to Kenya by a Doctor on 5 May 2016 to be evaluated. A NPWT device prototype was successfully made and positive feedback was received from Kenya.
Transport phenomena and microscopic structure in partially miscible binary fluids: A simulation study of the symmetrical Lennard-Jones mixture

description: Static and dynamic structure factors and various transport coefficients are computed for a Lennard-Jones model of a binary fluid (A,B) with a symmetrical miscibility gap, varying both temperature and relative concentration of the mixture. The model is first equilibrated by a semi-grandcanonical Monte Carlo method, choosing the temperature and chemical potential difference $Δμ$ between the two species as the given independent variables. Varying for $Δμ=0$ the temperature and particle number $N$ over a wide range, the location of the coexistence curve in the thermodynamic limit is estimated. Well-equilibrated configurations from these Monte Carlo runs are used as initial states for microcanonical Molecular Dynamics runs, in order to study the microscopic structure and the behavior of transport coefficients as well as dynamic correlation functions along the coexistence curve. Dynamic structure factors $S_{αβ} (q,t)$ (and the corresponding static functions $S_{αβ} (q)$) are recorded ($α, β, \in$ A,B), $q$ being the wavenumber and $t$ the time, as well as the mean square displacements of the particles (to obtain the self-diffusion constants $D_{\rm A}$, $D_{\rm B}$) and transport coefficients describing collective transport, such as the interdiffusion constant and the shear viscosity. The minority species is found to diffuse a bit faster than the majority species. Despite the presence of strong concentration fluctuations in the system the Stokes-Einstein relation is a reasonable approximation.
