description: The role of private, government and total stocks as determinants of price volatility in the dairy markets is analyzed based on monthly price data (U.S. geographic area average). Results reported here find no strong evidence that changes in beginning stock levels or beginning stock change have played a substantial role in contributing to price volatility in butter, cheese, or non-fat dry milk markets analyzed. These results are notable given substantial changes in government policy impacting these markets during the sample period. Each market was dominated by government purchases of stocks to manage the price. It follows by definition that these periods price induced ending period government stocks. However, this paper considered evidence concerning the hypothesis that when such government stock transactions were terminated, prices may have become more volatile. To focus on a possible causal role of stocks, we focus on beginning stocks and their role in determining prices formed at a later time. We find no role played by the levels of beginning stocks and very little evidence of a role played by changes in beginning stocks as determinants of volatility in monthly average key dairy complex prices. These results must be interpreted within the context of several caveats. First, monthly averaging and geographic averaging of prices may obscure important variation that would reflect evidence of a role of stocks. Second, data analyzed may contain systematic errors that occur a role for stocks

description: Self-assembly and force generation are two central processes in biological systems that usually are considered in separation. However, the signals that activate non-muscle myosin II molecular motors simultaneously lead to self-assembly into myosin II minifilaments as well as progression of the motor heads through the crossbridge cycle. Here we investigate theoretically the possible effects of coupling these two processes. Our assembly model, which builds upon a consensus architecture of the minifilament, predicts a critical aggregation concentration at which the assembly kinetics slows down dramatically. The combined model predicts that increasing actin filament concentration and force both lead to a decrease in the critical aggregation concentration. We suggest that due to these effects, myosin II minifilaments in a filamentous context might be in a critical state that reacts faster to varying conditions than in solution. We finally compare our model to experiments by simulating fluorescence recovery after photobleaching.

description: Equilibrium crystal structures for La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 have been calculated using hybrid exact exchange and density functional methods. Two distinct ground states with either conventional checkerboard charge ordering or Zener polaron formation are found depending on the proportion of exact exchange used. The checkerboard state has mixed x^2-y^2, 3x^2-r^2 and 3y^2-r^2 orbital ordering and CE-type magnetic order while the Zener polaron state has 3x^2-r^2 and 3y^2-r^2 ordering and A-type magnetic order.

description: The integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with artificial intelligence (AI) models for aerial imagery processing in disaster assessment, necessitates models that demonstrate exceptional accuracy, computational efficiency, and real-time processing capabilities. Traditionally Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), demonstrate efficiency in local feature extraction but are limited by their potential for global context interpretation. On the other hand, Vision Transformers (ViTs) show promise for improved global context interpretation through the use of attention mechanisms, although they still remain underinvestigated in UAV-based disaster response applications. Bridging this research gap, we introduce DiRecNetV2, an improved hybrid model that utilizes convolutional and transformer layers. It merges the inductive biases of CNNs for robust feature extraction with the global context understanding of Transformers, maintaining a low computational load ideal for UAV applications. Additionally, we introduce a new, compact multi-label dataset of disasters, to set an initial benchmark for future research, exploring how models trained on single-label data perform in a multi-label test set. The study assesses lightweight CNNs and ViTs on the AIDERSv2 dataset, based on the frames per second (FPS) for efficiency and the weighted F1 scores for classification performance. DiRecNetV2 not only achieves a weighted F1 score of 0.964 on a single-label test set but also demonstrates adaptability, with a score of 0.614 on a complex multi-label test set, while functioning at 176.13 FPS on the Nvidia Orin Jetson device.

description: Gould and Pittalis [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 016401 (2019)] recently revealed a density-driven (DD) correlation energy that is specific to many-electron ensembles and must be accounted for by approximations. We derive in this Letter a general and simpler expression in terms of the ensemble weights, the ensemble Kohn-Sham (KS) orbitals, and their linear response to variations in the ensemble weights. As no additional state-driven KS systems are needed, its evaluation is greatly simplified. We confirm the importance of DD effects and introduce a direct and promising route to approximations.

description: We investigate the renormalization of the quark-mixing matrix in the Electroweak Standard Model. We show that the corresponding counterterms must be gauge independent as a consequence of extended BRS invariance. Using rigid SU(2)_L symmetry, we proof that the ultraviolet-divergent parts of the invariant counterterms are related to the field renormalization constants of the quark fields. We point out that for a general class of renormalization schemes rigid SU(2)_L symmetry cannot be preserved in its classical form, but is renormalized by finite counterterms. Finally, we discuss a genuine physical renormalization condition for the quark-mixing matrix that is gauge independent and does not destroy the symmetry between quark generations.

description: The successful introduction of risk management products to industries unfamiliar with futures markets (e.g., dairy, aquaculture, and environmental resources) is likely to become increasingly important as futures exchanges consider alternative structures (e.g., for-profit) and the trading platform evolves (i.e., electronic trading). Here, we examine the performance of the Minneapolis Grain exchange's white shrimp futures contract, one of the first futures contracts aimed at the aquaculture industry. Although the market structure conforms to most of the traditional criteria for a successful futures contract, the contract's performance is disappointing in terms of liquidity and hedging effectiveness. It is not clear if this is due to a poorly designed contract or a lack of participation (i.e., cash-futures arbitrage) required for convergence and a predictable basis.

description: Context. Magnetic bright points (MBPs) are dynamic, small-scale magnetic elements often found with field strengths of the order of a kilogauss within intergranular lanes in the photosphere. Aims. Here we study the evolution of various physical properties inferred from inverting high-resolution full Stokes spectropolarimetry data obtained from ground-based observations of the quiet Sun at disc centre. Methods. Using automated feature-tracking algorithms, we studied 300 MBPs and analysed their temporal evolution as they evolved to kilogauss field strengths. These properties were inferred using both the NICOLE and SIR Stokes inversion codes. We employ similar techniques to study radiative magnetohydrodynamical simulations for comparison with our observations. Results. Evidence was found for fast (~30 - 100s) amplification of magnetic field strength (by a factor of 2 on average) in MBPs during their evolution in our observations. Similar evidence for the amplification of fields is seen in our simulated data. Conclusions. Several reasons for the amplifications were established, namely, strong downflows preceding the amplification (convective collapse), compression due to granular expansion and mergers with neighbouring MBPs. Similar amplification of the fields and interpretations were found in our simulations, as well as amplification due to vorticity. Such a fast amplification will have implications for a wide array of topics related to small-scale fields in the lower atmosphere, particularly with regard to propagating wave phenomena in MBPs.

description: Dialogue agents have been receiving increasing attention for years, and this trend has been further boosted by the recent progress of large language models (LLMs). Stance detection and dialogue summarization are two core tasks of dialogue agents in application scenarios that involve argumentative dialogues. However, research on these tasks is limited by the insufficiency of public datasets, especially for non-English languages. To address this language resource gap in Chinese, we present ORCHID (Oral Chinese Debate), the first Chinese dataset for benchmarking target-independent stance detection and debate summarization. Our dataset consists of 1,218 real-world debates that were conducted in Chinese on 476 unique topics, containing 2,436 stance-specific summaries and 14,133 fully annotated utterances. Besides providing a versatile testbed for future research, we also conduct an empirical study on the dataset and propose an integrated task. The results show the challenging nature of the dataset and suggest a potential of incorporating stance detection in summarization for argumentative dialogue.

description: Ni/Cu(001) is known as a unique system showing the spin-reorientation transition from an in-plane to out-of-plane magnetization direction when the Ni-overlayer thickness is increased. We investigate different relaxed multilayer structures with a hydrogen adlayer using the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method. The relaxed geometries, determined by total energy and atomic force calculations, show that H-monolayer strongly influences the interlayer distance between the Ni-surface and sub-surface layers yielding the outward relaxation of Ni-layer at H/Ni interface. Furthermore, large decrease of local magnetic moments at the top surface area is found for the surface covered by H. The magneto-crystalline anisotropy energies calculated for fully relaxed H/Ni-films. The spin-reorientation transition critical thickness of 4 ML is found in good quantitative agreement with the experiment.

description: The development of Czech agricultural labour market has been continuously predominantly negative since 1989 and recently, the problem of youth unemployment is acute in many countries, not only in the Czech Republic, but also in the Russian Federation, where most of graduates of agricultural universities work in non-agricultural sphere and in urban area. The present paper tries to consider the problems faced by youth in the labour market after graduating from the university, the reasons for working in any sphere but not in agriculture and not in rural area. It identifies the factors influencing the profession choice by young people. It considers the opportunities for attracting young people to work in agriculture and rural aria.

We show that the sensitivity of the eXTP is sufficient to improve existing constraints on the mixing angle of the neutrino Minimal extension of the Standard Model ($ν$MSM) by a factor of 5-10 within the dark matter mass range 2-50 keV, assuming 1% level of systematic uncertainty. We assert that the eXTP will be able to probe previously inaccessible range of $ν$MSM parameters and serve as a precursor for the Athena mission in decaying dark matter searches.

description: The paper deals with monitoring of a height, a structure and impact of supports in frame of exercitation of EU CAP on income from operations of selected Czech agricultural enterprises. The selection of enterprises has been implemented on base of differentness in the enterprise form, in the acreage of managed farm land and a differentiation of the enterprise subject. From a comparison of volume and structure of the supports it results that an agricultural cooperative uses a wide spectrum of particular types of subsidies, which is caused by a big acreage of almost 7 800 ha with orientation to both the plant and the animal productions. Similar situation is in the valued joint-stock company. Without received subsidies the economy of private farmer would be unprofitable in both the years. In monitoring it was proved that differentiation of enterprise activity in form of raw material process in excess of framework of agricultural basic industry decreases dependence of the income from operations on obtained financial means in form of supports. From the mentioned facts it is obvious that the received financial subsidies significantly positively influenced the operating results of all agricultural enterprises where the basic activity subject is plant and animal production. Pieces of knowledge introduced in this paper resulted from solution of an institutional research intention MSM 6046070906 „Economics of resources of Czech agriculture and their efficient use in frame of multifunctional agri-food systems.“

Pessimistic Evaluation

description: Traditional evaluation of information access systems has focused primarily on average utility across a set of information needs (information retrieval) or users (recommender systems). In this work, we argue that evaluating only with average metric measurements assumes utilitarian values not aligned with traditions of information access based on equal access. We advocate for pessimistic evaluation of information access systems focusing on worst case utility. These methods are (a) grounded in ethical and pragmatic concepts, (b) theoretically complementary to existing robustness and fairness methods, and (c) empirically validated across a set of retrieval and recommendation tasks. These results suggest that pessimistic evaluation should be included in existing experimentation processes to better understand the behavior of systems, especially when concerned with principles of social good.
Electrocatalysis with Atomically Precise Metal Nanoclusters

description: Colloidal nanoparticles have been extensively studied during the past decades due to their versatile applications in energy, pharmacy, catalysis, and optics etc. With the rapid development of chemical synthesis, nanoparticles with well controlled size, morphology and composition have been achieved. However, the precise structure of nanoparticles is still challenging to be resolved due to their polydispersity. Such uncertain structure of nanoparticles has limited the study of the structure-property relationship in various applications. In this context, it is of paramount importance to develop atomically precise nanoparticle system.Atomically precise gold NCs (NCs) have emerged in recent nanoscience research, and this new class of nanomaterials has attracted wide interest in many applications owning to their intriguing properties and well-defined structures. Within the ultrasmall size regime (1-3 nm), Au NCs exhibit molecule-like quantized electronic structure because of the quantum confinement effect. The breakthrough in the synthesis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis has led to the discovery of a large family of NCs with various unprecedented structures that were not observed in conventional nanoparticles. The special size regime of 1-3 nm and unique electronic properties of ultrasmall NCs provide new opportunities for diverse applications, including sensing, optical and catalysis. Unlike the polydisperse nanoparticles, the atomically precise NCs allow in-depth analysis on the underlying fundamentals. Especially, the computational simulation based on real structures of NCs is more convincing than the hypothetical models for nanoparticles (e.g., icosahedral 13-atom Au13 to represent larger nano-catalysts). These features make atomically precise NCs an ideal system to investigate the underlying structure-property relationship in electrochemical catalysis. In this thesis, we explored the electrochemical catalysis of atomically precise metal NCs. Various critical effects including size effect, doping effect, surface morphology effect and isomer effect have been studied with well-designed NCs system. The center-doping effects of Au and Ag NCs as active catalysts for oxygen reduction (ORR) reaction and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) were discussed in Chapter 2 and 3. The surface morphology effect of Au NCs in CO2RR was discussed in Chapter 4, where a unique reaction pathway has been observed. In Chapter 5, the ligand effect in CO2RR has been investigated with three unique Au NCs comprising identical inner kernel but different surface ligands. We also introduced the size effect and isomer effect in Chapter 6.

description: We consider a four dimensional space-time symmetry which is a non trivial extension of the Poincaré algebra, different from supersymmetry and not contradicting {\sl a priori} the well-known no-go theorems. We investigate some field theoretical aspects of this new symmetry and construct invariant actions for non-interacting fermion and non-interacting boson multiplets. In the case of the bosonic multiplet, where two-form fields appear naturally, we find that this symmetry is compatible with a local U(1) gauge symmetry, only when the latter is gauge fixed by a `t Hooft-Feynman term.

description: We propose a path-integral Monte Carlo quantum annealing scheme for the symmetric Traveling Salesman Problem, based on a highly constrained Ising-like representation, and we compare its performance against standard thermal Simulated Annealing. The Monte Carlo moves implemented are standard, and consist in restructuring a tour by exchanging two links (2-opt moves). The quantum annealing scheme, even with a drastically simple form of kinetic energy, appears definitely superior to the classical one, when tested on a 1002 city instance of the standard TSPLIB.

description: Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) appear to be a common feature observed in the light curves of both solar and stellar flares. However, their quasi-periodic nature, along with the fact that they can be small in amplitude and short-lived, makes QPPs difficult to unequivocally detect. In this paper, we test the strengths and limitations of state-of-the-art methods for detecting QPPs using a series of hare-and-hounds exercises. The hare simulated a set of flares, both with and without QPPs of a variety of forms, while the hounds attempted to detect QPPs in blind tests. We use the results of these exercises to create a blueprint for anyone who wishes to detect QPPs in real solar and stellar data. We present eight clear recommendations to be kept in mind for future QPP detections, with the plethora of solar and stellar flare data from new and future satellites. These recommendations address the key pitfalls in QPP detection, including detrending, trimming data, accounting for colored noise, detecting stationary-period QPPs, detecting QPPs with nonstationary periods, and ensuring that detections are robust and false detections are minimized. We find that QPPs can be detected reliably and robustly by a variety of methods, which are clearly identified and described, if the appropriate care and due diligence are taken.

description: In order to combat adverse effects of farmland degradation it is necessary for farmers to adopt sustainable land management and conservation strategies like intercropping and conservation tillage. However, efforts to adopt these strategies are very minimal in Ethiopia. In an attempt to address the objectives of examining factors affecting use of intercropping and conservation tillage practices, this study utilized plot- and household-level data collected from 211 farm households and employed a bivariate probit model for its analysis. The study revealed that intercropping and conservation tillage decisions are interdependent, and that they are also significantly affected by various factors. In addition, conservation tillage and intercropping practices as short- term interventions are found to augment the long-term interventions like terraces, diversion ditches, and tree plantations. The paper highlights important policy implications that are required to encourage intercropping and conservation tillage measures.

description: Modern methods of quantitative risk analysis, specifically value-at-risk and expected shortfall approach, provide comprehensive and coherent risk evaluation throughout entire distribution of outcomes and can take agricultural business from the realm of uncertainty to specific, quantified risks. Monte Carlo simulation with autocorrelation of standard deviation shows the best results in risk modeling and is used for this research. The analysis showed that production risk is systemic within climatic regions of Ukraine with coefficients of correlation ranging from 0.25 to 0.85. Yield correlation among crops in several oblasts is low to negative, creating opportunities for diversification. However, positive price-yield correlation is dominant for agricultural products in Ukraine due to high dependency on global prices and a large share of export. It is hypothesized that price-yield correlation is directly proportional to the share of country’s international trade in that agricultural product.
Modulating Unpolarized Current in Quantum Spintronics: Visibility of Spin-Interference Effects in Multichannel Aharonov-Casher Mesoscopic Rings

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The conventional unpolarized current injected into a {\em quantum-coherent} semiconductor ring attached to two external leads can be modulated from perfect conductor to perfect insulator limit via Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling. This requires that ballistic propagation of electrons, whose spin precession is induced by the Aharonov-Casher phase, takes place through a single conducting channel ensuring that electronic quantum state remains a pure separable one in the course of transport. We study the fate of such spin interference effects as more than one orbital conducting channel becomes available for quantum transport. Although the conductance of multichannel rings, in general, does not go all the way to zero at any value of the SO coupling, some degree of current modulation survives. We analyze possible scenarios that can lead to reduced visibility of spin interference effects that are responsible for the zero conductance at particular values of the Rashba interaction: (i) the transmitted spin states remain fully coherent, but conditions for destructive interference are different in different channels; (ii) the transmitted spins end up in partially coherent quantum state arising from entanglement to the environment composed of orbital degrees of freedom of the same particle to which the spin is attached.

Cellular automaton model of self-healing

description: We propose a simple cellular automaton model of a self-healing system and investigate its properties. In the model, the substrate is a two-dimensional checkerboard configuration which can be damaged by changing values of a finite number of sites. The cellular automaton we consider is a checkerboard voting rule, a binary rule with Moore neighbourhood which is topologically conjugate to majority voting rule. For a single color damage (when only cells in the same state are modified), the rule always fixes the damage. For a general damage, when it is localized inside a $3 \times 3$ square, the rule also fixes it always. When the damage is inside of a larger $n \times n$ square, the efficiency of the rule in fixing the damage becomes smaller than $100\%$, but it remains better than $98\%$ for $n \leq 5$ and better than $75 \%$ for $n\leq 7$. We show that in the limit of infinite $n$ the efficiency tends to zero.

description: A recent method to certify the classical capacity of quantum communication channels is applied for general damping channels in finite dimension. The method compares the mutual information obtained by coding on the computational and a Fourier basis, which can be obtained by just two local measurement settings and classical optimization. The results for large representative classes of different damping structures are presented.

description: This paper deals with the problem of the law of one price. The topic is examined on wholesaler level of pig meat and beef meat agri-food chains in the Czech Republic. The aim of the paper is to examine whether the law of one price holds at these markets. To fulfill the aim the multivariate time series analysis is employed, concretely co-integration analysis and Vector error correction model (VECM). The analysis is based on time series of wholesale price in individual regions of the Czech Republic which contain bi-weekly data in period from May 2004 to June 2011. The analysis shows that the law of one price does not hold at both markets. However, if the transaction costs are omitted there might be found some regions where it works. Finally, some dominant as well as submissive regions were detected at both pig meat as well as beef meat market.
