description: With the advent of gravitational wave detectors employing squeezed light, quantum waveform estimation---estimating a time-dependent signal by means of a quantum-mechanical probe---is of increasing importance. As is well known, backaction of quantum measurement limits the precision with which the waveform can be estimated, though these limits can in principle be overcome by "quantum nondemolition" (QND) measurement setups found in the literature. Strictly speaking, however, their implementation would require infinite energy, as their mathematical description involves Hamiltonians unbounded from below. This raises the question of how well one may approximate nondemolition setups with finite energy or finite-dimensional realizations. Here we consider a finite-dimensional waveform estimation setup based on the "quasi-ideal clock" and show that the estimation errors due to approximating the QND condition decrease slowly, as a power law, with increasing dimension. As a result, we find that good QND approximations require large energy or dimensionality. We argue that this result can be expected to also hold for setups based on truncated oscillators or spin systems.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Computational complexity is a key limitation of genomic analyses. Thus, over the last 30 years, researchers have proposed numerous fast heuristic methods that provide computational relief. Comparing genomic sequences is one of the most fundamental computational steps in most genomic analyses. Due to its high computational complexity, new, more optimized exact and heuristic algorithms are still being developed. We find that these methods are highly sensitive to the underlying data, its quality, and various hyperparameters. Despite their wide use, no in-depth analysis has been performed, potentially falsely discarding genetic sequences from further analysis and unnecessarily inflating computational costs. We provide the first analysis and benchmark of this heterogeneity. We deliver an actionable overview of the 11 most widely used state-of-the-art methods for comparing genomic sequences. We also inform readers about their pros and cons using thorough experimental evaluation and different real datasets from all major manufacturers (i.e., Illumina, ONT, and PacBio).

description: Biomar (http://biomarmt.com/) is a biotech company located in León (Spain) fully devoted to marine microbiology and natural products (NPs) chemistry. With one of the largest microbial libraries in the world, Biomar develops natural solutions for different industries in collaborations with leading companies in the field. Our agriculture projects involve biostimulants, bioherbicides, biofungicides and bioinsecticides from microbial origin. All of them are focused on NPs obtained by microbial fermentation, therefore from sustainable biotechnological sources. Among others, our company enabled the identification of new conjugation and biofilm formation inhibitors, which are under evaluation for potential therapeutic use in different applications.
 Development of efficient methods for Xylella fastidiosa control is a worldwide priority. Recently, Biomar has taken an active part in a platform to search for innovative approaches and solutions to the disease caused by X. fastidiosa. The project aims at developing natural growth and biofilm’s altering compounds to prevent or treat X. fastidiosa plant infections by characterizing already reported active molecules, a collection of extracts and underexplored natural products. First, we have developed and validated a reliable high-throughput screening assay against X. fastidiosa (Xf-HTS). Currently, part of our compounds and extracts libraries are being screened using our Xf-HTS and first promising candidates and active analogs have been chemically identified. Efficacy will be also evaluated in vitro under host-mimicking conditions using microfluidic devices. Further development of this project will require greenhouse and field trials with host plants and insect vectors that will be complemented by a combination of analytical tests, and genetic and molecular approaches to try to develop an effective treatment against this devastating disease.

description: In this paper we represent the Vassiliev model for the homotopy type of the one-point compactification of subspace arrangements as a homotopy colimit of an appropriate diagram over the nerve complex of the intersection semilattice of the arrangement. Furthermore, using a generalization of simplicial collapses to diagrams of topological spaces over simplicial complexes, we construct an explicit deformation retraction from the Vassiliev model to the Ziegler-Zivaljevic model.
Dipolar bosons in one dimension: the case of longitudinal dipole alignment

description: We study by quantum Monte Carlo simulations the low-temperature phase diagram of dipolar bosons confined to one dimension, with dipole moments aligned along the direction of particle motion. A hard core repulsive potential of varying range ($σ$) is added to the dipolar interaction, in order to ensure stability of the system against collapse. In the $σ\to 0$ limit the physics of the system is dominated by the potential energy and the ground state is quasi-crystalline; as $σ$ is increased the attractive part of the interaction weakens and the equilibrium phase evolves from quasi-crystalline to a non-superfluid liquid. At a critical value $σ_c$, the kinetic energy becomes dominant and the system undergoes a quantum phase transition from a self-bound liquid to a gas. In the gaseous phase with $σ\toσ_c$, at low density attractive interactions bring the system into a "weak" superfluid regime. However, gas-liquid coexistence also occurs, as a result of which the topologically protected superfluid regime is not approached.

description: We study the stationary nonequilibrium states of N point particles moving under the influence of an electric field E among fixed obstacles (discs) in a two dimensional torus. The total kinetic energy of the system is kept constant through a Gaussian thermostat which produces a velocity dependent mean field interaction between the particles. The current and the particle distribution functions are obtained numerically and compared for small E with analytic solutions of a Boltzmann type equation obtained by treating the collisions with the obstacles as random independent scatterings. The agreement is surprisingly good for both small and large N. The latter system in turn agrees with a self consistent one particle evolution expected to hold in the limit of N going to infinity.

Population switching under a time-varying environment

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We examine the switching dynamics of a stochastic population subjected to a deterministically time-varying environment. Our approach is demonstrated in the realm of ecology on a problem of population establishment. Here, by assuming a constant immigration pressure along with a strong Allee effect, at the deterministic level one obtains a critical population size beyond which the system experiences establishment. Notably the latter has been shown to be strongly influenced by the interplay between demographic and environmental noise. We consider two prototypical examples for environmental variations: a temporary environmental change, and a periodically-varying environment. By employing a semi-classical approximation we compute, within exponential accuracy, the change in the establishment probability and mean establishment time of the population, due to the environmental variability. Our analytical results are verified by using a modified Gillespie algorithm which accounts for explicitly time-dependent reaction rates. Finally, our theoretical approach can also be useful in studying switching dynamics in gene regulatory networks under extrinsic variations.

description: The ability of scleractinian corals to thrive in the oligotrophic (low-nutrient, low-productivity) surface waters of the tropical ocean is commonly attributed to their symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellates1,2. The evolutionary history of this symbiosis might clarify its organismal and environmental roles. It is currently unclear whether photosymbiosis first arose in the Triassic, with the emergence of scleractinian corals, or if it was already prevalent amongst older coral groups that have since gone extinct3–5. Here, we report the first measurements of nitrogen isotope ratios of coral-bound organic matter (CB-δ15N) in samples from Mid-Devonian reefs (Givetian, ca. 385 Ma), which represent the oldest isotopic constraint on the evolution of photosymbiosis to date. The colonial tabulate and loosely colonial (dendroid) corals analyzed have low CB-δ15N values (1.59‰±0.53‰ and 1.45±0.66‰, respectively) in comparison with co-occurring solitary rugose corals (4.38‰±1.34‰). The isotopic difference between Devonian colonial and solitary corals (2.86‰±0.86‰) is statistically indistinguishable from that observed between modern symbiont-bearing and symbiont-barren corals (3.38‰±1.05‰). From this evidence we infer that Mid-Devonian colonial tabulate and loosely colonial (dendroid) corals hosted active photosymbionts, while solitary rugose corals did not. The low CB-δ15N values of the Devonian colonial tabulate and dendroid corals relative to the modern range suggest that Devonian reefs formed in biogeochemical regimes analogous to the modern oligotrophic subtropical gyres. Widespread oligotrophy during the Devonian likely may have promoted coral photosymbiosis, potentially explaining why Devonian reefs were the most productive reef ecosystems of the Phanerozoic.

description: We consider first-order phase transitions of the Universe in the radiation-dominated era. We argue that in general the velocity of interfaces is non-relativistic due to the interaction with the plasma and the release of latent heat. We study the general evolution of such slow phase transitions, which comprise essentially a short reheating stage and a longer phase equilibrium stage. We perform a completely analytical description of both stages. Some rough approximations are needed for the first stage, due to the non-trivial relations between the quantities that determine the variation of temperature with time. The second stage, instead, is considerably simplified by the fact that it develops at a constant temperature, close to the critical one. Indeed, in this case the equations can be solved exactly, including back-reaction on the expansion of the Universe. This treatment also applies to phase transitions mediated by impurities. We also investigate the relations between the different parameters that govern the characteristics of the phase transition and its cosmological consequences, and discuss the dependence of these parameters with the particle content of the theory.

description: Do transgenic crops cause agrobiodiversity erosion? We hypothesize that they increase productivity and reduce production risk and may therefore reduce farmer demand for on-farm varietal diversity, especially when only a few transgenic varieties are available. We also hypothesize that varietal diversity can be preserved when more transgenic varieties are supplied. These hypotheses are tested and confirmed with panel data for the case of transgenic cotton in India. Cotton varietal diversity in India, with of over 90% adoption of transgenic technology, is now at the same level than it was before the introduction of this technology. Some policy implications are discussed.

description: A global site selection for astronomy was performed with 1 km spatial resolution ($\sim$ 1 Giga pixel in size) using long term and up-to-date datasets to classify the entire terrestrial surface on the Earth. Satellite instruments are used to get the following datasets of Geographical Information System (GIS) layers: Cloud Coverage, Digital Elevation Model, Artificial Light, Precipitable Water Vapor, Aerosol Optical Depth, Wind Speed and Land Use -- Land Cover. A Multi Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) technique is applied to these datasets creating four different series where each layer will have a specific weight. We introduce for the first time a ``Suitability Index for Astronomical Sites'' namely, SIAS. This index can be used to find suitable locations and to compare different sites or observatories. Mid-western Andes in South America and Tibetan Plateau in west China were found to be the best in all SIAS Series. Considering all the series, less than 3 \% of all terrestrial surfaces are found to be the best regions to establish an astronomical observatory. In addition to this, only approximately 10 \% of all current observatories are located in good locations in all SIAS series. Amateurs, institutions or countries aiming to construct an observatory could create a short-list of potential site locations using layout of SIAS values for each country without spending time and budget.The outcomes and datasets of this study has been made available through a web site, namely ``Astro GIS Database'' on \texttt{\url{www.astrogis.org}}.

description: We study the dust properties of 192 nearby galaxies from the JINGLE survey using photometric data in the 22-850micron range. We derive the total dust mass, temperature T and emissivity index beta of the galaxies through the fitting of their spectral energy distribution (SED) using a single modified black-body model (SMBB). We apply a hierarchical Bayesian approach that reduces the known degeneracy between T and beta. Applying the hierarchical approach, the strength of the T-beta anti-correlation is reduced from a Pearson correlation coefficient R=-0.79 to R=-0.52. For the JINGLE galaxies we measure dust temperatures in the range 17-30 K and dust emissivity indices beta in the range 0.6-2.2. We compare the SMBB model with the broken emissivity modified black-body (BMBB) and the two modified black-bodies (TMBB) models. The results derived with the SMBB and TMBB are in good agreement, thus applying the SMBB, which comes with fewer free parameters, does not penalize the measurement of the cold dust properties in the JINGLE sample. We investigate the relation between T and beta and other global galaxy properties in the JINGLE and Herschel Reference Survey (HRS) sample. We find that beta correlates with the stellar mass surface density (R=0.62) and anti-correlates with the HI mass fraction (M(HI)/M*, R=-0.65), whereas the dust temperature correlates strongly with the SFR normalized by the dust mass (R=0.73). These relations can be used to estimate T and beta in galaxies with insufficient photometric data available to measure them directly through SED fitting.

description: Introduction : Two recent papers, Delbridge et al. (2011) and Delbridge et al. (2013), have used agricultural trial data from Southwestern Minnesota to compare the profitability of organic and conventional cropping systems. These analyses found that organic cropping systems can earn more on a per-hectare basis (Delbridge et al., 2011) and a whole-farm basis (Delbridge et al., 2013) than a conventional cropping system, given the same machinery and labor endowments. However, in the years since the collection of the agricultural trial data on which these analyses are based, conventional grain prices have reached record levels and some organic crop producers have begun to abandon their organic certification and return to conventional production. The strong performance of conventional crop producers in 2011-2012 raises the question: would the results of these analyses hold if they included more recent data? This paper answers this question by updating the analyses performed by Delbridge et al. (2011) and Delbridge et al. (2013) with 2011 and 2012 yield and management data from the Variable Input Crop Management Systems (VICMS) trial and more recent input and output price information.

description: Anthropologists have long documented substantial and persistent differences across so- cial groups in the preferences and taboos for particular foods. One natural question to ask is whether such food cultures matter in an economic sense. In particular, can culture constrain caloric intake and contribute to malnutrition? To answer this question, I first document that inter-state migrants within India consume fewer calories per Rupee of food expenditure com- pared to their non-migrant neighbors, even for households with very low caloric intake. I then form a chain of evidence in support of an explanation based on culture: that migrants make nutritionally-suboptimal food choices due to cultural preferences for the traditional foods of their origin states. First, I focus on the preferences themselves and document that migrants bring their origin-state food preferences with them when they migrate. Second, I link together the findings on caloric intake and preferences by showing that the gap in caloric intake between locals and migrants is related to the suitability and intensity of the migrants’ origin-state food preferences: the most adversely affected migrants (households in which both husband and wife migrated to a village where their origin-state preferences are unsuited to the local price vector) would consume 7 percent more calories if they possessed the same preferences as their neighbors.

description: We present an integrable Hamiltonian which describes the sinh-Gordon model on the half line coupled to a non-linear oscillator at the boundary. We explain how we apply Sklyanin's formalism to a dynamical reflection matrix to obtain this model. This method can be applied to couple other integrable field theories to dynamical systems at the boundary. We also show how to find the dynamical solution of the quantum reflection equation corresponding to our particular example.

description: In the context of XF-ACTORS project, a IoT based monitoring system has been established and tested in the field - for an olive grove in Puglia (Italy) affected by Xf - to measure in near real-time some parameters proxies of trees’ conditions and vulnerability under both abiotic (climate) and biotic factors. The system is based on the TreeTalker (TT) technology, comprising multiparametric sensors to monitor water transport in trees, trunk humidity and diametrical oscillations, spectral characteristics of the leaves and microclimatic parameters (temperature, relative humidity). In particular, the sap flow density can be retrieved according to the Heat Balance Method (Granier 1985) after measuring the temperature of two 20 mm long probes inserted into the stem wood at 10 cm distance along the trunk vertical axis; the probe in the higher position is heated while the lower one provides the reference temperature.
 The TT system collects and transmits data at hourly time frequency, thanks to a LoRa based wireless connection, to a node managed by another microcontroller (TT-Cloud) serving a few tens of devices in a cluster. The TT-Cloud is in turn connected to the internet via the GPRS network and sends data to a computer server. Here, raw data are subject to ETL procedure that allows data Extraction from the TT-Cloud source, data Transformation by cleaning and converting them into variables with eco-physiological meaning, and finally data Loading to insert them into the target spatio-temporal database, adopting proper storage format/structure for querying and analysis purpose. From here, data can be further elaborated and visualized, e.g. into useful statistics, through a tailored Data Science environment.
 The preliminary results on sap flow density are here presented as they can give important information about the impact of Xf that is known obstructing xylem vessels, reducing hydraulic conductivity and thus affecting evapotranspiration.

description: The paper explores the linear and nonlinear dynamic interaction between the reactor and the auxiliary buildings of a Nuclear Power Plant on a realistic layered soil profile, aiming to evaluate the effect of the auxiliary building on the seismic response of crucial components inside the reactor building. Based on realistic geometrical assumptions, highfidelity 3D finite element (FE) models of increasing sophistication are created in the Real-ESSI Simulator. Starting with elastic soil conditions and assuming tied soil─foundation interfaces, it is shown that the rocking vibration mode of the soil─reactor building system is amplified by the presence of the auxiliary building through a detrimental out-of-phase rotational interaction mechanism. Adding nonlinear interfaces, which allow for soil─foundation detachment during seismic shaking, introduces higher excitation frequencies (above 10 Hz) in the foundation of the reactor building, leading to amplification effects in the resonant vibration response of the biological shield wall (incl. reactor vessel) inside the reactor building. A small amount of sliding at the soil─foundation interface of the auxiliary building slightly decreases its response, thus reducing its aforementioned negative effects on the reactor building. When soil nonlinearity is accounted for, the rocking vibration mode of the soil─reactor building system almost vanishes, thanks to the strongly nonlinear response of the underlying soil. This leads to a beneficial out-of-phase horizontal interaction mechanism between the two buildings, reducing the spectral accelerations at critical points inside the reactor building by up to 55% for frequencies close to the resonant vibration frequency of the auxiliary building. This implies that the neighboring buildings could offer mutual seismic protection to each other, in a similar way to the recently emerged seismic resonant metamaterials, provided that they are properly tuned during the design phase, accounting for soil and soil-foundation interface nonlinearities.

description: This study examines the price competitiveness of marketing and production contracts depending on whether contracts are with cooperatives or investorowned firms. A propensity score matching method is used to compare prices using contract data from a national farm-level survey. The results show that prices of agricultural contracts with cooperatives are not significantly different from those with investor-owned firms, which indicates that cooperatives are adhering to recommended business practices of offering market prices to their members.

description: Monitoring of plant pathogens is usually carried out by analyzing symptomatic plant material. However when plants are frequently asymptomatic, which is the case for Xylella fastidiosa (Xf), this approach is problematic because it limits our ability to early detect the bacterium hence to understand and control its spread. To complement plant survey and facilitate large-scale monitoring, we propose to generalize the use of insect vectors as sentinels.
 We tested this approach in Corsica using Philaenus spumarius, an ubiquitous insect vector, as sentinel. We will present a high throughput method based on a two-step PCR approach followed by Illumina sequencing. Two genes of the MLST of Xf were targeted to identify the three main subspecies of Xf (multiplex, pauca or fastidiosa). This approach enables larger screening than classic (nested) PCR approaches followed by Sanger sequencing. We used this approach to monitor the spatio-temporal prevalence of Xf within vector populations (27 populations of 30 specimens).
 Our results show that Xf occurs throughout Corsica with a prevalence in insects up to 43% depending on the region and the year of sampling. Moreover, we show that Xf is present in ecosystems assumed uncontaminated on the basis of plant monitoring. No spatial, temporal or vegetation-related pattern of Xf prevalence in insects seem to emerge from our first data. Our results confirm that Xf introduction in Corsica likely predates 2015, it suggests ecological resilience of ecosystems and argues in favor of using insect vectors for Xf survey at large scale in Europe.

description: Reconstructing of past temperatures at regional scales during the Common Era is necessary to place the current warming in the context of natural climate variability. Here we present a composite record of oxygen isotope variations during last 2500 years based on eight stalagmites from four caves in the central Pyrenees (NE Spain) dominated by temperature variations, with precipitation playing a minor role. The dataset is compared with other Iberian reconstructions that show a high degree of internal coherence with respect to variability at the centennial scale. The Roman Period (especially 0–200 AD), the Medieval Climate Anomaly, and part of the Little Ice Age represent the warmest periods, while the coldest decades occurred during the Dark Ages and most of the Little Ice Age intervals (e.g., 520–550 AD and 1800–1850 AD). Importantly, the LIA cooling or the MCA warming were not continuous or uniform and exhibited high decadal variability. The Industrial Era shows an overall warming trend although with marked cycles and partial stabilization during the last two decades (1990–2010). The strong coherence between the speleothem data, European temperature reconstructions and global tree-ring data informs about the regional representativeness of this new record as Pyrenean past temperature variations. Solar variability and major volcanic eruptions appear to be the two main drivers of climate in southwestern Europe during the past 2.5 millennia.
