description: This paper studies the game of guessing riffle-shuffled cards with complete feedback. A deck of $n$ cards labelled 1 to $n$ is riffle-shuffled once and placed on a table. A player tries to guess the cards from top and is given complete feedback after each guess. The goal is to find the guessing strategy with maximum reward (expected number of correct guesses). We give the optimal strategy for this game and prove that the maximum expected reward is $n/2+\sqrt{2/π}\cdot\sqrt{n}+O(1)$, partially solving an open problem of Bayer and Diaconis.

description: HMXBs present an opportunity to study winds of massive stars, by measuring the wind's X-ray absorption. Due to the high variability induced by their structure, analyses need to incorporate both spectroscopic and timing data, a task at which excess variance (RMS) spectra excel. I present a first-time RMS study of Cyg X-1 Chandra HETG data, highlighting results, first models, and future prospects of high-resolution RMS spectroscopy.

description: Meat consumption, expenditure and socio-demographic data from the 1990, 1993 and 1996 SUSENAS Household Food Expenditure and Consumption Surveys were employed to estimate the demand for meats in Indonesia. The focus was on the Provinces of DKI Jakarta and West Java where about one-fourth of the Indonesian population reside. Statistical and econometric procedures were used to aggregate the 16 meat types recorded in the SUSENAS into four meat groups. They were then used to estimate the Linear Approximation of the Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) model, taking into account zero observations and the restriction that budget shares must lie between zero and unity. The demand for Meat Group 1 (dominated by beef) is income-inelastic, whereas that for Meat Group 2 (dominated by commercial and native chicken) is income-elastic. These two groups comprise nearly 95 per cent of all meat purchases. The estimated own-price elasticity of the beef group is -0.92, while that for the chicken group is -1.09. The cross-price elasticities indicate that all the meat groups are substitute goods, as expected. The results suggest that the current focus of the Indonesian government on strengthening the domestic poultry industry is well placed, as the demand for chicken is likely to respond more quickly to income growth than the demand for beef. Further, consumers seem more likely to adapt their consumption patterns to chicken price changes than they will for beef price changes. However, these differences are relatively minor and there is still a major opportunity for Australian agribusiness firms in the cattle and beef sectors to take advantage of the projected rapid growth in Indonesian beef demand.

description: We test the applicability of density functional theory (DFT) to spectral perturbations taking an example of a Cs atom surrounded by superfluid helium. The atomic DFT of helium is used to obtain the distribution of helium atoms around the impurity atom, and the electronic DFT is applied to the excitations of the atom, averaging over the ensemble of helium configurations. The shift and broadening of the D1 and D2 absorption lines are quite well reproduced by theory, suggesting that the DFT may be useful for describing spectral perturbations in more complex environments.

description: We consider the problem of testing whether the points in a complex or real variety with non-zero coordinates form a multiplicative group or, more generally, a coset of a multiplicative group. For the coset case, we study the notion of shifted toric varieties which generalizes the notion of toric varieties. This requires a geometric view on the varieties rather than an algebraic view on the ideals. We present algorithms and computations on 129 models from the BioModels repository testing for group and coset structures over both the complex numbers and the real numbers. Our methods over the complex numbers are based on Gröbner basis techniques and binomiality tests. Over the real numbers we use first-order characterizations and employ real quantifier elimination. In combination with suitable prime decompositions and restrictions to subspaces it turns out that almost all models show coset structure. Beyond our practical computations, we give upper bounds on the asymptotic worst-case complexity of the corresponding problems by proposing single exponential algorithms that test complex or real varieties for toricity or shifted toricity. In the positive case, these algorithms produce generating binomials. In addition, we propose an asymptotically fast algorithm for testing membership in a binomial variety over the algebraic closure of the rational numbers.

description: A key element of an agenda for farm management in the 21st Century should be productivity on farms. The gains from productivity since 1953 have been enough to offset declines in the real price of farm outputs at least in the broadacre sector. Productivity gains will remain important to the sector in this century. For public institutions, the focus of research and extension activities will continue to switch to the management of natural resources. Farmers and policy makers will need to know the on-farm impacts of technologies and policies that will effect resource stocks over many years. A challenge to farm management professionals will be how to present this information, derived from sophisticated modelling, to farmers and policy makers. My guess is that Malcolm’s ‘few figurings’ of a ‘few futures’ is the way to go.

Subjects: Farm Management

description: Against a backdrop of descriptive snapshots of the years 1975, 2000 and 2025, this paper explores challenges for broadacre farm managers. Issues of particular relevance to Western Australian farm managers are emphasized. Key market, environmental, technical, structural and social challenges and their implications for farm managers are discussed. Established and emerging trends, along with commentaries of a range of futurists, are used to develop forecasts for farm management. The paper concludes by examining the question of change in farm management: How might the farm manager in 2025 be different from one in 2000 and what are the implications for farm management training, farm management advisory services and farm management researchers?
$B^0_d-{\bar B}^0_d$ mixing in the left-right supersymmetric model

description: We analyze $B^0_d-{\bar B}^0_d$ mixing in a fully left-right supersymmetric model. We give explicit expressions for all the chargino, gluino, gluino-neutralino and neutralino amplitudes involved in the process. We calculate the mass difference $Δm_d$ and CP asymmetry $a_{J/ψK_s}$ in both the constrained case (where the only flavor violation comes from the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix) and the unconstrained case (including soft supersymmetry breaking terms). The constrained case does not contain any new information beyond the supergravity-inspired MSSM. In the unconstrained case, the main contribution to $B^0_d-{\bar B}^0_d$ and the CP asymmetry is due to either gluino diagrams, if the dominating flavor mixing arises in the down squark sector, or chargino diagrams, if the dominant flavor mixing comes from the up squark sector. We include numerical results and compare this analysis with the ones performed in other models.

description: Unsupervised learning requiring only raw data is not only a fundamental function of the cerebral cortex, but also a foundation for a next generation of artificial neural networks. However, a unified theoretical framework to treat sensory inputs, synapses and neural activity together is still lacking. The computational obstacle originates from the discrete nature of synapses, and complex interactions among these three essential elements of learning. Here, we propose a variational mean-field theory in which the distribution of synaptic weights is considered. The unsupervised learning can then be decomposed into two intertwined steps: a maximization step is carried out as a gradient ascent of the lower-bound on the data log-likelihood, in which the synaptic weight distribution is determined by updating variational parameters, and an expectation step is carried out as a message passing procedure on an equivalent or dual neural network whose parameter is specified by the variational parameters of the weight distribution. Therefore, our framework provides insights on how data (or sensory inputs), synapses and neural activities interact with each other to achieve the goal of extracting statistical regularities in sensory inputs. This variational framework is verified in restricted Boltzmann machines with planted synaptic weights and handwritten-digits learning.

description: Challenges and opportunities on and off the farm generate a changing agenda for farm business management and farm families in Australia’s rural sector. National, state and regional interest in the contribution and connections of farming to agribusiness, the food sector and the economy, the environmental status of rural land and water and the welfare of farm families leads to public policies interfacing and interacting with private farm business interests. Conceptualising farm businesses as mixes of ‘management’, ‘resources’ and ‘family’ aids appreciation of new structures and strategies, ties in with ‘triple bottom line’ thinking and reflects the shift from farm policy to an array of policies focussing on social, environment and economic aspects of contemporary life in rural and regional Australia. Farming’s links to the domestic and international economy, the environment and regional economies and rural communities are illustrated as the basis of agenda review and search. Selected issues on the agenda from 1970 are plotted and delved into with the aid of a new web based bibliography of Australian farm management, including the literature of the Australian Farm Management Society. Divining agenda towards 2010 is attempted. Some legends, leaders and champions of farm management in Australia are nominated.

description: Currently per capita consumption of dairy products in China is low. The question as to whether China’s strong economic growth and the resulting higher consumer income would represent a great market potential for dairy products has drawn much interest from the dairy industry both within and outside China. This paper overviews China’s dairy market with up-to-date information and highlights important factors affecting its development. The study shows that the growth of demand for dairy products in China is promising. However, despite the fact that China’s accession to the WTO will result in reductions in trade barriers, a substantial increase in exports of dairy products to the Chinese market is unlikely in the near future. This is due to a number of reasons including taste differences between the Chinese and the consumers of major dairy exporting countries. To succeed in the Chinese market, dairy exporters need to increase their understanding of the Chinese dairy markets and to consider modifying their products to suit the tastes of the Chinese.

description: Corn futures markets have experienced increased intraday price jumps which have been blamed on public information shocks and the reduced trading latency brought by electronic trading. This paper contributes to shed light on this issue by assessing intraday jumps in the corn futures nearby transaction prices from 2008 to 2015. We use a nonparametric jump test and a variance analysis to estimate jump risk. Our results suggest that the real-time trading of major USDA reports has substantially increased the frequency and the magnitude of jump risk. In contrast, results suggest that the electronic platform along with reduced latency may have increased liquidity and prevented price spikes on non-USDA report days.

description: Light-activated colloidal assembly and swarming can act as model systems to explore non-equilibrium state of matter. In this context, creating new experimental platforms to facilitate and control two-dimensional assembly of colloidal crystals are of contemporary interest. In this paper, we present an experimental study of assembly of colloidal silica microparticles in the vicinity of a single-crystalline gold microplate evanescently excited by a 532 nm laser beam. The gold microplate acts as a source of heat and establishes a thermal gradient in the system. The created optothermal potential assembles colloids to form a two-dimensional poly-crystal, and we quantify the coordination number and hexagonal packing order of the assembly in such a driven system. Interestingly, we observe variation in assembly-size as a function of excitation-polarization. Furthermore, we observe that the assembly is colloidal-material dependent. Specifically, silica colloids assemble but polystyrene colloids do not, indicating an intricate behaviour of the forces under play. Our work highlights a promising direction in utilizing metallic, single crystalline microstructures that can be harnessed for optothermal colloidal crystal assembly and swarming studies. Our experimental system can be utilized to explore optically driven matter and photophoretic interactions in soft-matter including biological systems such as cells and micro organisms.

description: BACKGROUND: Whiteness is a systemic construct that functions to make itself invisible and prevent its racialization. Whiteness informs the nursing profession on all levels and impacts how nurses learn, relate to, and perpetuate whiteness through structural, curricular, interpersonal, and ideological means. The aim of this study was to use an antiracist framework to analyze manifestations of whiteness in select prelicensure obstetric and pediatric clinical simulation scenarios at a large midwestern college of nursing. METHODS: Nine prelicensure nursing simulations were analyzed for themes using qualitative content analysis. RESULTS: Two themes related to whiteness emerged from the data-normalizing whiteness in assessment and othering. CONCLUSION: Applying an antiracist framework in clinical nursing education can assist educators and students to see the embedded whiteness and racism in the curriculum and begin to address it. Additional analysis is needed to explore nurse educators and student perceptions of whiteness in simulations. [J Nurs Educ. 2021;60(12):690-696.].
The SNR G106.3+2.7 and its Pulsar Wind Nebula: relics of triggered star formation in a complex environment

description: We propose that the pulsar nebula associated with the pulsar J2229+6114 and the supernova remnant (SNR) G106.3+2.7 are the result of the same supernova explosion. The whole structure is located at the edge of an HI bubble with extended regions of molecular gas inside. The radial velocities of both the atomic hydrogen and the molecular material suggest a distance of 800 pc. At this distance the SNR is 14 pc long and 6 pc wide. Apparently the bubble was created by the stellar wind and supernova explosions of a group of stars in its center which also triggered the formation of the progenitor star of G106.3+2.7. The progenitor star exploded at or close to the current position of the pulsar, which is at one end of the SNR rather than at its center. The expanding shock wave of the supernova explosion created a comet shaped supernova remnant by running into dense material and then breaking out into the inner part of the HI bubble. A synchrotron nebula with a shell-like structure (the ``Boomerang'') of length 0.8 pc was created by the pulsar wind interacting with the dense ambient medium. The expanding shock wave created an HI shell of mass 0.4 Msun around this nebula by ionizing the atomic hydrogen in its vicinity.

description: The paper has two main goals. The first is to take a new approach to rearrangements on certain classes of measurable real-valued functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Rearrangements are maps that are monotonic (up to sets of measure zero) and equimeasurable, i.e., they preserve the measure of super-level sets of functions. All the principal known symmetrization processes for functions, such as Steiner and Schwarz symmetrization, are rearrangements, and these have a multitude of applications in diverse areas of the mathematical sciences. The second goal is to understand which properties of rearrangements characterize polarization, a special rearrangement that has proved particularly useful in a number of contexts. In order to achieve this, new results are obtained on the structure of measure-preserving maps on convex bodies and of rearrangements generally.

description: We study the phenomenon of many-body localization (MBL) in an interacting system subjected to a combined DC as well as a square wave AC electric field. First, the condition for the dynamical localization, coherent destruction of Wannier-Stark localization and super Bloch oscillations in the non-interacting limit, are obtained semi-classically. In the presence of interactions (and a confining/disordered potential), a static field alone leads to "Stark many-body localization", for sufficiently large field strengths. We find that in the presence of an additional high-frequency AC field, there are two ways of maintaining the MBL intact: either by resonant drive where the ratio of amplitude to the frequency of the drive ($A/ω$) is tuned at the dynamical localization point of the non-interacting limit or by off-resonant drive. Remarkably, resonant drive with $A/ω$ tuned away from the dynamical localization point leads to a \emph{coherent destruction of Stark-MBL}. Moreover, a pure (high-frequency) AC field can also give rise to the MBL phase if $A/ω$ is tuned at the dynamical localization point of the zero dc field problem.

description: We study a many-body system of interacting spin-1 particles in the context of homogeneous gases of ultracold atoms. In general, its description requires eight parameters among which there are three components of magnetization and five parameters associated with quadrupole degrees of freedom. Based on the symmetry considerations, we construct a many-body interaction Hamiltonian that includes eight generators of the SU(3) group related to the above description parameters. The SU(3) symmetric Hamiltonian is applied to study the ferromagnetic and quadrupolar phases of a homogeneous weakly interacting gas of spin-1 atoms with Bose-Einstein condensate. It is shown how the quadrupole degrees of freedom entering the Hamiltonian modify the ground state and single-particle excitation spectra in comparison with those obtained from the Hamiltonian bilinear in spin operators and not including quadrupole degrees of freedom. We discuss the issue of taking into account the local character of interaction to obtain the correct spectra of single-particle excitations.

Condensate fluctuations in the dilute Bose gas

description: The fluctuations of a number of particles in the Bose-Einstein condensate are studied in the grand canonical ensemble with an effective single-mode Hamiltonian, which is derived from an assumption that the mode corresponding to the Bose-Einstein condensate does not asymptotically correlate with other modes. The fluctuations are evaluated in the dilute limit with a proposed simple method, which is beyond the mean-field approximation. The accuracy of the latter is estimated; it is shown that the mean-field scheme does not work for the single-mode Hamiltonian, while for the Hartree Hamiltonian it allows us to estimate the condensate fluctuations up to a numerical factor. As a hypothesis, a formula is proposed that relates the fluctuations in the canonical ensemble with that of the grand canonical one.

 REMARKS: There is no evidence in Robineau-Desvoidy (1863a) that the spelling of his Westwodia is “an inadvertent error”, which means that this is the correct original spelling. This genus-group name is therefore not preoccupied by Westwoodia Brullé, 1846 or Westwoodia Bate, 1857. Subsequent workers have commonly misspelled the Robineau-Desvoidy name as “ Westwoodia ” thereby leading to the errant assumption that it is preoccupied. However, the orthography in Herting (1974: 26) is an intentional (although unjustified) emendation.

T-duality constraint on R-R couplings

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has been speculated that the metric, $B$-field and dilaton couplings in the low energy effective action of string theory at any order of $α'$ may be found by imposing the gauge symmetries and the T-duality on the effective action. This proposal can be extended to include the Ramond-Ramond (R-R) couplings as well. In this paper, we first find the dimensional reduction of the R-R fields and then perform explicitly the T-duality constraint on the R-R couplings at the supergravity level. Up to an overall factor, it reproduces the democratic form of the R-R couplings.

description: While Fourier's law is empirically confirmed for many substances and over an extremely wide range of thermodynamic parameters, a convincing microscopic derivation still poses difficulties. With current machines the solution of Newton's equations of motion can be obtained with high precision and for a reasonably large number of particles. For simplified model systems one thereby arrives at a deeper understanding of the microscopic basis for Fourier's law. We report on recent, and not so recent, advances.

description: The purpose of this paper is to document and describe a computer program which simulates the impact of alternative dairy policies and technologies on important dairy market variables such as farm and retail prices and quantities. Several policy and technology scenarios are simulated to illustrate the output of the program. The model, which is called the National Economic Milk Policy Impact Simulator (NEMPIS), is general in specifications of the duration of the simulation period, policy instruments, and technological choices. The computer software is available to anyone, provided that they send the author an IBM compatible formatted floppy disk. The model should be of interest to economists, policy makers, and dairy scientists interested in analyzing farm and retail market impacts due to federal policies and/or alternative technologies

description: The shallow-water hydrothermal vent system of Kueishan Island has been described as one of the world's most acidic and sulphide-rich marine habitats. The only recorded metazoan species living in the direct vicinity of the vents is Xenograpsus testudinatus, a brachyuran crab endemic to marine sulphur-rich vent systems. Despite the toxicity of hydrogen sulphide, X. testudinatus occupies an ecological niche in a sulphide-rich habitat, with the underlying detoxification mechanism remaining unknown. Using laboratory and field-based experiments, we characterized the gills of X. testudinatus that are the major site of sulphide detoxification. Here sulphide is oxidized to thiosulphate or bound to hypotaurine to generate the less toxic thiotaurine. Biochemical and molecular analyses demonstrated that the accumulation of thiosulphate and hypotaurine is mediated by the sodium-independent sulphate anion transporter (SLC26A11) and taurine transporter (Taut), which are expressed in gill epithelia. Histological and metagenomic analyses of gill tissues demonstrated a distinct bacterial signature dominated by Epsilonproteobacteria. Our results suggest that thiotaurine synthesized in gills is used by sulphide-oxidizing endo-symbiotic bacteria, creating an effective sulphide-buffering system. This work identified physiological mechanisms involving host-microbe interactions that support life of a metazoan in one of the most extreme environments on our planet.

description: Primordial black holes can have substantial spin -- a fundamental property that has a strong effect on its evaporation rate. We conduct a comprehensive study of the detectability of primordial black holes with non-negligible spin, via the searches for the neutrinos and positrons in the MeV energy range. Diffuse supernova neutrino background searches and observation of the 511 keV gamma-ray line from positrons in the Galactic center set competitive constraints. Spinning primordial black holes are probed up to a slightly higher mass range compared to non-spinning ones. Our constraint using neutrinos is slightly weaker than that due to the diffuse gamma-ray background, but complementary and robust. Our positron constraints are typically weaker in the lower mass range and stronger in the higher mass range for the spinning primordial black holes compared to the non-spinning ones. They are generally stronger than those derived from the diffuse gamma-ray measurements for primordial black holes having masses greater than a few $\times \, 10^{16}$g.

description: Abstract

This study examined the relationship between e-banking service quality and customer satisfaction in Burao Banks in Somaliland. A sample of 110 respondents was selected from customers of banks that offer e-banking services in Burao, Somaliland. The study adopted a Quantitative research approaches and cross-sectional design to see the relationship between independent variables of reliability, Tangibility, Responsiveness, Assurance and empathy with satisfaction of e-banking users. The study explored that reliability, tangibility, and responsiveness are the most important dimensions of e-banking service quality that affect customer satisfaction, while assurance has a weaker impact and empathy has no significant impact. These conclusions highlighted the importance of prioritizing and enhancing dimensions like reliability, tangibility, and responsiveness in e-banking services to ensurecustomer satisfaction in e-banking users in the Burao Banks. The study suggests the Investigation of the influence of cultural factors on the relationship between service quality dimensions and customer satisfaction as the understanding cultural variations in customer preferences and expectations couldhelp banks tailor their services accordingly

The study revealed several key findings regarding the relationship between service quality dimensions and customer satisfaction. Firstly, there was a significant positive correlation between reliability and customer satisfaction, with reliability demonstrating the strongest association. Tangibility and responsiveness also showed positive correlations with customer satisfaction, albeit to a lesser extent. Conversely, assurance exhibited a weaker positive correlation with customer satisfaction. Surprisingly, empathy did not show a statistically significant correlation with customer satisfaction within the study's context, suggesting it may not have a meaningful impact in this particular scenario. These findings offer valuable insights into the dynamics of service quality and customer satisfaction, although they are specific to the study context and may not be universally applicable.

description: We use a cosmological simulation of the Local Group to make quantitative and speculative predictions for direct detection experiments. Cold dark matter (CDM) halos form via a complex series of mergers, accretion events and violent relaxation which precludes the formation of significant caustic features predicted by axially symmetric collapse. The halo density profiles are combined with observational constraints on the galactic mass distribution to constrain the local density of cold dark matter to lie in the range 0.18
