description: This paper investigates the asymmetry of price transmission in the marketing chain of shipping points and terminal markets for fresh fruits in the western United States. To preserve the distinct price patterns related to product perishability, we use data constructed at a fine time scale and representing the vertical markets linked with shipments. Using a decade of weekly data, we estimate the autoregressive distributed lag price transmission model and derive the dynamic multiplier effects of price responses. Our results indicate that the price adjustments and asymmetry patterns are closely related to product characteristics, especially the intensity of product perishability.

description: Complex systems contain a lot of individuals and some interactions between them. The structure of interactions can be modeled to be a network: nodes represent individuals and links to be interaction between two individuals. This paper tries to investigate how structure of interactions in the system will affect the power-law behaviors based on the BS co-evolution model from points of system size, the density of connectivity and the ways of connectivity of the interaction network. The current experiments show that small size, high density of connectivity and random connected way will weaken the power-law distribution.

description: This paper develops an empirical model of spatial competition in order to evaluate the effects of alternative corn stover market structures on stover prices, supply of cellulosic biofuels, and firm profits. We calibrate the model to market conditions in Indiana and show that spatial competition may significantly increase feedstock cost, reduce profits of biofuels plants, and increase the price of biofuel necessary to induce a given production target. On the other hand, spatial competition causes firms to rely more on the intensive margin, increasing farmers’ share of the industry’s surplus.

description: Recently, several interesting proposals were made modifying the law of gravity on large scales, within a sensible relativistic formulation. This allows a precise formulation of the idea that such a modification might account for galaxy rotation curves, instead of the usual interpretation of these curves as evidence for dark matter. We here summarize several observational constraints which any such modification must satisfy, and which we believe make more challenging any interpretation of galaxy rotation curves in terms of new gravitational physics.

description: Background: State-of-the art selection methods fail to identify weak but cumulative effects of features found in many high-dimensional omics datasets. Nevertheless, these features play an important role in certain diseases. Results: We present Netboost, a three-step dimension reduction technique. First, a boosting-based filter is combined with the topological overlap measure to identify the essential edges of the network. Second, sparse hierarchical clustering is applied on the selected edges to identify modules and finally module information is aggregated by the first principal components. The primary analysis is than carried out on these summary measures instead of the original data. We demonstrate the application of the newly developed Netboost in combination with CoxBoost for survival prediction of DNA methylation and gene expression data from 180 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and show, based on cross-validated prediction error curve estimates, its prediction superiority over variable selection on the full dataset as well as over an alternative clustering approach. The identified signature related to chromatin modifying enzymes was replicated in an independent dataset of AML patients in the phase II AMLSG 12-09 study. In a second application we combine Netboost with Random Forest classification and improve the disease classification error in RNA-sequencing data of Huntington's disease mice. Conclusion: Netboost improves definition of predictive variables for survival analysis and classification. It is a freely available Bioconductor R package for dimension reduction and hypothesis generation in high-dimensional omics applications.

A Quantum-Dot Array as Model for Copper-Oxide Superconductors: A Dedicated Quantum Simulator for the Many-Fermion Problem

description: Quantum systems with a large number of fermionic degrees of freedom are intractable by quantum simulations. In this paper we introduce the concept of a dedicated quantum simulator(DQS) which is an artificial system of quantum dots whose Hamiltonian maps exactly to the original many fermion problem. While the universal quantum simulator (UQS) introduced by Feynman in 1982 can simulate any quantum mechanical many-body problem, a DQS can only solve a particular many body problem. Our concept of the dedicated quantum simulator is not a quantum computer but rather a quantum "analog" device, dedicated to a particular quantum computation. As an example, we consider the system of the $CuO$ plane in the copper-oxide superconductors and we propose an array of electrostatically confined quantum dots to be used as its dedicated quantum simulator. We show that this dedicated device can be used to image stripe formation as a function of the electron doping using electric force microscopy. We argue that such a dedicated quantum simulator may be easier to realize in the future compared to a general purpose quantum computer.

description: This paper investigates how off-farm income affects crop output market participation decision and marketed surplus of smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. A double-hurdle model is estimated using three waves of panel data from Ethiopian Rural Household Survey (ERHS). The article controls for unobserved heterogeneity using correlated random effect procedure and potential endogeneity of off-farm income using a control function approach. Results show that off-farm income has no significant influence on household output market participation. But conditional on positive market participation, each additional earning from off-farm work has negative and statistically significant effect on marketed surplus. This indicates farmers use earnings from off-farm source rather for consumption purpose than as a source of liquidity to invest in agricultural production and increase marketable surplus. Our result has policy implications that expanding higher earning rural enterprises through capacity building and human capital investment is vital. This could improve the returns to labor for off-farm work participating land-poor households in the process of smallholder agricultural commercialization.

description: Recently two fast X-ray transients (XT1 and XT2) have been reported from the search in the Chandra Deep Field (CDF) data. Each transient shows an initial plateau lasting around hundreds to thousands seconds followed by a rapid decay in the light curve. In particular, CDF-S XT2 is found to be associated with a galaxy at redshift z= 0.738 and was explained as a counterpart of a binary neutron-star merger event. In this paper, motivated by the short duration and decay slopes of the two transients, we consider an alternative interpretation in which both events are accretion-driven flares from tidal disruption of white dwarfs by intermediate-mass black holes. We derive a theoretical model of the accretion rate history, and find that it fits the observed X-ray light curves well. The extremely super-Eddington peak luminosity of XT2 can be explained by the beaming effect of the system, likely in the form of a jet.

description: Denial of service attacks pose a threat in constant growth. This is mainly due to their tendency to gain in sophistication, ease of implementation, obfuscation and the recent improvements in occultation of fingerprints. On the other hand, progress towards self-organizing networks, and the different techniques involved in their development, such as software-defined networking, network-function virtualization, artificial intelligence or cloud computing, facilitates the design of new defensive strategies, more complete, consistent and able to adapt the defensive deployment to the current status of the network. In order to contribute to their development, in this paper, the use of artificial immune systems to mitigate denial of service attacks is proposed. The approach is based on building networks of distributed sensors suited to the requirements of the monitored environment. These components are capable of identifying threats and reacting according to the behavior of the biological defense mechanisms in human beings. It is accomplished by emulating the different immune reactions, the establishment of quarantine areas and the construction of immune memory. For their assessment, experiments with public domain datasets (KDD'99, CAIDA'07 and CAIDA'08) and simulations on various network configurations based on traffic samples gathered by the University Complutense of Madrid and flooding attacks generated by the tool DDoSIM were performed.

description: We investigate the rather unique contractual arrangement between one of the largest sugar factories in Ethiopia and its adjacent outgrower associations. The only significant difference between the sugarcane production on the factory-operated plantation and on the outgrower-operated plots is the remuneration system and thus, the incentives to the workers. We compare the productivity of these two production models based on a new cross-sectional plot-level data set. As sugarcane production depends on various exogenous factors that are measured as categorical variables (e.g. soil type, cane variety, etc.), we estimate the production function by a nonparametric kernel regression method that takes into account both continuous and categorical explanatory variables without assuming a functional form. Our results show that outgrower-operated plots have−ceteris paribus−a significantly higher productivity than factory-operated plots, which can be explained by outgrowers having stronger incentives to put more effort in their work than the employees of the sugar factory.

description: We have developed methods for tracing rays and performing radiative transfer through a magnetoactive plasma in a general relativistic environment. The two electromagnetic plasma modes propagate differently due to a combination of dispersive and gravitational effects. We have found that, when given an appropriate environment surrounding the central black hole, it is indeed possible to generate a significant degree of circular polarisation without an appreciable amount of linear polarisation due to these effects alone.

description: Recent work has focused on exploring many-body localization (MBL) in systems without quenched disorder: one such proposal is Stark MBL in which small perturbations to a strong linear potential yield localization. However, as with conventional MBL, it is challenging to experimentally distinguish between non-interacting localization and true MBL. In this paper we show that several existing experimental probes, designed specifically to differentiate between these scenarios, work similarly in the Stark MBL setting. In particular we show that a modified spin-echo response (DEER) shows clear signs of a power-law decay for Stark MBL while quickly saturating for disorder-free Wannier-Stark localization. Further, we observe the characteristic logarithmic-in-time spreading of quantum mutual information in the Stark MBL regime, and an absence of spreading in a non-interacting Stark-localized system. We also show that there are no significant differences in several existing MBL measures for a system consisting of softcore bosons with repulsive on-site interactions. Lastly we discuss why curvature or small disorder are needed for an accurate reproduction of MBL phenomenology, and how this may be illustrated in experiment. This also connects with recent progress on Hilbert space fragmentation in "fractonic" models with conserved dipole moment, and we suggest this as an auspicious platform for experimental investigations of these phenomena.

Owens Valley Radio Observatory monitoring of LS I +61°303 completes three cycles of the super-orbital modulation

description: The high-mass X-ray binary LS I +61°303 is composed of a Be-type star and a compact object. The emission is variable and periodic across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio to very high-energy gamma rays. The orbital period is ~26.5 d, and the source also features a super-orbital period with a value of ~4.6 years. Long-term monitoring of the binary by the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) at 15 GHz has now completed 13.8 years, which corresponds to three full cycles of the super-orbital period. We performed a timing analysis of the OVRO radio light curve, and we also combined the OVRO data with the full archive of previous radio observations and computed the discrete autocorrelation function. The most powerful features in the periodogram of the OVRO data are two peaks at P1 = 26.49 +/- 0.05 d and P2 = 26.93 +/- 0.05 d. Our measurement of the long-term period is P_long = 1698 +/- 196 d. Dividing the OVRO data into three segments of equal length showed that the two periods, P1 and P2, are present in the periodogram of each of the consecutive long-term cycles. Our analysis of the full radio archive resulted in the detection of the same three periods, and the autocorrelation function showed a regular pattern, proving the stability of the super-orbital modulation. We report a possible systematic modulation of the radio flux density with a timescale of approximately 40 years that has so far remained unnoticed. The physical model of a relativistic jet whose mass loading is modulated with the orbital period P1 and is precessing with the slightly larger period P2, giving rise to a beating with period P_long, had previously been able to reproduce the radio and gigaelectron volt emission. The ongoing presence and the stability of the periodic signals imply that this model is still the most plausible explanation for the physical processes at work in this source. (abridged)

description: India has been experiencing rising food prices during the last five years. In this paper we explore how inflationary food prices impact India’s consumer welfare and poverty ratios, by calculating the compensating variation as a welfare measure. We account for changes in consumption patterns, i.e. substitution effects among food items, by including own and cross price elasticities obtained through the estimation of a demand system, i.e. QUAIDS. Our results show that consumers substitute high value commodities, e.g. milk, livestock products and fruits in case of rising prices. Moreover, a 10 per cent price increase on average causes a welfare loss of 5 to 6 per cent of monthly income in rural areas and 3 to 4 per cent welfare loss in urban areas. As a result, there is a drop below the poverty line of an additional 4.69 per cent and 2.19 per cent of households in rural and urban regions respectively.

Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: In a social dilemma, cooperation is collectively optimal, yet individually each group member prefers to defect. A class of successful strategies of direct reciprocity were recently found for the iterated prisoner's dilemma and for the iterated three-person public-goods game: By a successful strategy, we mean that it constitutes a cooperative Nash equilibrium under implementation error, with assuring that the long-term payoff never becomes less than the co-players' regardless of their strategies, when the error rate is small. Although we have a list of actions prescribed by each successful strategy, the rationale behind them has not been fully understood for the iterated public-goods game because the list has hundreds of entries to deal with every relevant history of previous interactions. In this paper, we propose a method to convert such history-based representation into an automaton with a minimal number of states. Our main finding is that a successful strategy for the iterated three-person public-goods game can be represented as a $10$-state automaton by this method. In this automaton, each state can be interpreted as the player's internal judgement of the situation, such as trustworthiness of the co-players and the need to redeem oneself after defection. This result thus suggests a comprehensible way to choose an appropriate action at each step towards cooperation based on a situational judgement, which is mapped from the history of interactions.

The orbit of Sgr stream is quite clear from the velocity vector in $X$-$Z$ plane. Stars traced by K-giants and M-giants present the apogalacticon of trailing steam is $\sim$ 100 kpc. The metallicity distributions of Sgr K-, M-giants, and BHBs present that the M-giants are on average the most metal-rich population, followed by K-giants and BHBs. All of the K-, M-giants, and BHBs indicate that the trailing arm is on average more metal-rich than leading arm, and the K-giants show that the Sgr debris is the most metal-poor part. The $α$-abundance of Sgr stars exhibits a similar trend with the Galactic halo stars at lower metallicity ([Fe/H] $\sim-$1.5 dex. After dividing the Sgr stream into bright and faint stream according to their locations in equatorial coordinate, the K-giants and BHBs show that the bright and faint stream present different $V_Y$ and metallicities, the bright stream is on average higher in $V_Y$ and metallicity than the faint stream.

description: We consider a brane-world of co-dimension one without the reflection symmetry that is commonly imposed between the two sides of the brane. Using the coordinate-free formalism of the Gauss-Codacci equations, we derive the effective Einstein equations by relating the local curvature to the matter on the brane in the case when its bare tension is much larger than the localized matter, and hence show that Einstein gravity is a natural consequence of such models in the weak field limit. We find agreement with the recently derived cosmological case, which can be solved exactly, and point out that such models can be realized naturally in the case where there is a minimally coupled form field in the bulk.

description: Vast areas of the world’s deep sea are unexplored, and the recent threats of deep-sea mining and trawling make exploration of these habitats a time-sensitive concern. Much of our understanding of the deep sea has been based on physical sampling of sediment habitats using trawls and grabs, however, modern methods of surveying the deep sea involve the acquisition of video footage using Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). Use of image-based methods is particularly important for sensitive or vulnerable species such as cold-water corals, especially considering these species tend to inhabit hard substrate areas that cannot be sampled using trawls. Annotation of footage is a lengthy process requiring expert knowledge and represents a significant bottleneck in our ability to learn more about understudied hard-substrate habitats. Use of machine learning is a possible solution, but underwater images have their unique issues on top of the problems generally faced when using these models. This thesis reviews the state-of-the-art regarding coral identification, machine learning in ecology and object detection and asks how machine learning can be applied to the problem of annotating organisms in ROV footage. Using the YoloV5 model architecture, three machine-learning models were trained to explore how choice of classes effects performance – Model 1 was trained with 16 classes (the 16 families of black and octocoral present in the training images), Model 2 with 17 classes (the same 16 classes as Model 1 with an additional class ‘Other Corals’) and Model 3 with 18 classes (the 17 classes 6 from Model 2 plus an ‘Other’ class). The trained versions of the model were applied to validation and independent test sets of images to test the transferability between datasets. All models performed around ten times better than random (55% at best) with Model 1 achieving the highest in almost all metrics. Transferability of the model onto the independent test set was good however (0.05 difference), indicating transfer may be a viable option for future models. This study shows the potential for the application of AI in marine sciences and more specifically its possible use in annotation of corals in video footage.

description: We present a theoretical analysis of the shot noise in d-wave/d-wave contacts with arbitrary transparency, including the contribution of multiple Andreev reflections. The multiple charge quanta transferred in these processes are revealed as a huge enhancement of the noise-current ratio at low voltages, which survives for all crystal misorientations. We also show how different ingredients like non-magnetic impurities or a magnetic field produce very characteristic hallmarks in the shot noise, which can be used as a further test of the d-wave scenario in superconducting cuprates.

description: The interface between topological and normal insulators hosts metallic states that appear due to the change in band topology. While these topological states at a surface, i.e., a topological insulator-air/vacuum interface, have been studied intensely, topological states at a solid-solid interface have been less explored. Here we combine experiment and theory to study such \textit{embedded} topological states (ETSs) in heterostructures of GeTe (normal insulator) and Sb$_2$Te$_3$ (topological insulator). We analyse their dependence on the interface and their confinement characteristics. To characterise the heterostructures, we evaluate the GeTe-Sb$_2$Te$_3$ band offset using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and chart the elemental composition using atom probe tomography. We then use first-principles to independently calculate the band offset and also parametrise the band structure within a four-band continuum model. Our analysis reveals, strikingly, that under realistic conditions, the interfacial topological modes are delocalised over many lattice spacings. Interestingly, the first-principles calculations indicate that the ETSs are relatively robust to disorder and this may have practical ramifications. Our study provides insights into how to manipulate topological modes in heterostructures and also provides a basis for recent experimental findings [Nguyen \textit{et al.}, Sci. Rep. \textbf{6}, 27716 (2016)] where ETSs were seen to couple over large distances.

description: SUP-46 regulates the abundance of two rare tdp-1 splice junctions and SUP-46 and TDP-1 both localize to somatic nuclei. (A) Cartoon shows that, in sup-46(qa710), the rare junction between exons 3 and 5 of tdp-1 is decreased, and the rare junctionÂ between exons 5 and 6 is increased. Cartoon shows splice junctions for tdp-1. * For each junction, the number on top (bold font) is the relative abundance of that splice junction in sup-46(qa710) compared to the relative abundance in wildtype, as identified by RNASeq. Relative abundance of splice junctions was calculated by determining the number of a particular tdp-1 splice junction, as a percent of the total number of tdp-1 junctions detected for that genotype [sup-46(qa710) or wildtype]. The numbers below (grey font, in parentheses) are the total number of a particular junction detected in sup-46(qa710) (first number in pair) or wildtype (second number in pair). Splice junctions are indicated with jointed lines between exons. Rare junctions (2% or fewer of total) are indicated in red, and were altered in relative abundance in sup-46(qa710). Regions encoding the NLS and RRM domain motifs are indicated. (B) Distribution of SUP-46 and TDP-1 overlaps in somatic nuclei. Examples indicated are head neurons (blue arrow) and intestine (white arrow).

description: Spermatocyte histone H3K4me2 and histone H3K27me2me3 appear similar between Generation 1 and Generation 17 males. Quantification of anti-H3K4me2 and anti-H3K27me2me3 in spermatocyte nuclei shows equivalent signal intensity of active (H3K4me2) and inactive (H3K27me2me3) histone marks in generation 1 (Gen 1) and Gen 17 male sup-46 mutants. Germlines were dissected, fixed, and stained with antibodies and PicoGreen (DNA). Scale bars represent 15 μm. Images are of a single confocal optical plane, with laser intensity and gain identical between samples. To ensure detection of the fluorescence signal was equivalent in spermatocytes that were on different focal planes, the histone signals were normalized to PicoGreen (DNA) intensity from the same spermatocyte. Hatched line and error bars are the mean ± SD (n = 5). ns, not significantly different (P > 05). (PDF 354 kb)

description: We study dimensional reductions of noncommutative electrodynamics on flat space which lead to gauge theories of gravitation. For a general class of such reductions, we show that the noncommutative gauge fields naturally yield a Weitzenbock geometry on spacetime and that the induced diffeomorphism invariant field theory can be made equivalent to a teleparallel formulation of gravity which macroscopically describes general relativity. The Planck length is determined in this setting by the Yang-Mills coupling constant and the noncommutativity scale. The effective field theory can also contain higher-curvature and non-local terms which are characteristic of string theory. Some applications to D-brane dynamics and generalizations to include the coupling of ordinary Yang-Mills theory to gravity are also described.

description: A proposal for cooling the translational motion of optically levitated magnetic nanoparticles is presented. The theoretical cooling scheme involves the sympathetic cooling of a ferromagnetic YIG nanosphere with a spin-polarized atomic gas. Particle-atom cloud coupling is mediated through the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction. When the particle and atom oscillations are small compared to their separation, the interaction potential becomes dominantly linear which allows the particle to exchange energy with the $N$ atoms. While the atoms are continuously Doppler cooled, energy is able to be removed from the nanoparticle's motion as it exchanges energy with the atoms. The rate at which energy is removed from the nanoparticle's motion was studied for three species of atoms (Dy, Cr, Rb) by simulating the full $N+1$ equations of motion and was found to depend on system parameters with scalings that are consistent with a simplified model. The nanoparticle's damping rate due to sympathetic cooling is competitive with and has the potential to exceed commonly employed cooling methods.

description: Asymmetric multicore processors (AMPs) couple high-performance big cores and low-power small cores with the same instruction-set architecture but different features, such as clock frequency or microarchitecture. Previous work has shown that asymmetric designs may deliver higher energy efficiency than symmetric multicores for diverse workloads. Despite their benefits, AMPs pose significant challenges to runtime systems of parallel programming models. While previous work has mainly explored how to efficiently execute task-based parallel applications on AMPs, via enhancements in the runtime system, improving the performance of unmodified data-parallel applications on these architectures is still a big challenge. In this work we analyze the particular case of loop-based OpenMP applications, which are widely used today in scientific and engineering domains, and constitute the dominant application type in many parallel benchmark suites used for performance evaluation on multicore systems. We observed that conventional loop-scheduling OpenMP approaches are unable to efficiently cope with the load imbalance that naturally stems from the different performance delivered by big and small cores.
 To address this shortcoming, we propose \textit{Asymmetric Iteration Distribution} (AID), a set of novel loop-scheduling methods for AMPs that distribute iterations unevenly across worker threads to efficiently deal with performance asymmetry. We implemented AID in \textit{libgomp} --the GNU OpenMP runtime system--, and evaluated it on two different asymmetric multicore platforms. Our analysis reveals that the AID methods constitute effective replacements of the \texttt{static} and \texttt{dynamic} methods on AMPs, and are capable of improving performance over these conventional strategies by up to 56\% and 16.8\%, respectively.
