Year: 2024

description: Climate change affects earth’s entire environment and is considered as a one of the major global issues. Indian agriculture is highly prone to the risks due to climate change, especially to drought, because 2/3 rd. of the agricultural land in India is rain fed and even the irrigated system is dependent on monsoon. Agroforestry involves deliberate combination of trees crops and livestock in a single land use system. Agroforestry is often considered a cost-effective strategy for climate change mitigation. Thus, existing agroforestry systems have significant contribution in natural resources conservation, increase and stabilize agricultural yields and reduce soil erosion reduction of atmospheric CO2 through carbon sequestration and hence agroforestry is a viable option for mitigation of climate change.

description: In a recent paper by the TAPS collaboration \cite{exp} a first measurement of a bound system of an $η$ meson and a ${^3}$He nucleus was reported. In this comment we critically reexamine the interpretation of the data and show that the data prefers a solution where there is no bound state present. Given the low statistics of the measurement, however, it does not exclude the existence of a bound state.

description: Distribution-level phasor measurement units, a.k.a, micro-PMUs, report a large volume of high resolution phasor measurements which constitute a variety of event signatures of different phenomena that occur all across power distribution feeders. In order to implement an event-based analysis that has useful applications for the utility operator, one needs to extract these events from a large volume of micro-PMU data. However, due to the infrequent, unscheduled, and unknown nature of the events, it is often a challenge to even figure out what kind of events are out there to capture and scrutinize. In this paper, we seek to address this open problem by developing an unsupervised approach, which requires minimal prior human knowledge. First, we develop an unsupervised event detection method based on the concept of Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). It works by training deep neural networks that learn the characteristics of the normal trends in micro-PMU measurements; and accordingly detect an event when there is any abnormality. We also propose a two-step unsupervised clustering method, based on a novel linear mixed integer programming formulation. It helps us categorize events based on their origin in the first step and their similarity in the second step. The active nature of the proposed clustering method makes it capable of identifying new clusters of events on an ongoing basis. The proposed unsupervised event detection and clustering methods are applied to real-world micro-PMU data. Results show that they can outperform the prevalent methods in the literature. These methods also facilitate our further analysis to identify important clusters of events that lead to unmasking several use cases that could be of value to the utility operator.

description: We do not understand light. I argue that a terascale photon collider is necessary to determine the structure of the photon at 100 GeV. Uncertainties in photon parton distribution functions lead to cross section predictions that vary by a factor of 5. This limits our ability to predict how well we can perform precision measurements, e.g., extracting the width of Higgs into two photons. These uncertainties will only be resolved by measuring the gluonic structure of the photon in situ.

description: We report metallicities and radial velocities derived from spectra at the near-infrared calcium triplet for 373 red giants in a 200 square arcminute area at the optical center of the LMC bar. These are the first spectroscopic abundance measurements of intermediate-age and old field stars in the high surface brightness heart of the LMC. The metallicity distribution is sharply peaked at the median value [Fe/H] = -0.40, with a small tail of stars extending down to [Fe/H] <= -2.1; 10% of the red giants are observed to have [Fe/H] <= -0.7. The relative lack of metal-poor stars indicates that the LMC has a "G dwarf" problem, similar to the Milky Way. The abundance distribution can be closely approximated by two Gaussians containing 89% and 11% of the stars, respectively: the first component is centered at [Fe/H] = -0.37 with standard deviation = 0.15, and the second at [Fe/H] = -1.08 with standard deviation = 0.46. Because of the central location of our field, kinematic constraints are not strong, but there is no evidence that the bar deviates from the general motion of the LMC disk. The velocity dispersion of the whole sample is 24.7 +/- 0.4 km/sec. The most metal-poor 5% of stars ([Fe/H] < -1.15) show a dispersion of 40.8 +/- 1.7 km/sec, more than twice the value for the most metal-rich 5%. The age-metallicity relation (AMR) is almost flat during the period from 5-10 Gyr ago, with an apparent scatter of +/-0.15 dex about the mean metallicity for a given age. (abstract abridged)

description: Very high energy resolution photoemission experiments on high quality samples of optimally doped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ show new features in the low-energy electronic excitations. A marked change in the binding energy and temperature dependence of the near-nodal scattering rates is observed near the superconducting transition temperature, $T_C$. The temperature slope of the scattering rate measured at low energy shows a discontinuity at ~$T_C$. In the superconducting state, coherent excitations are found with the scattering rates showing a cubic dependence on frequency and temperature. The superconducting gap has a d-wave magnitude with negligible contribution from higher harmonics. Further, the bi-layer splitting has been found to be finite at the nodal point.

description: Phase retrieval, i.e., the problem of recovering a function from the squared magnitude of its Fourier transform, arises in many applications such as X-ray crystallography, diffraction imaging, optics, quantum mechanics, and astronomy. This problem has confounded engineers, physicists, and mathematicians for many decades. Recently, phase retrieval has seen a resurgence in research activity, ignited by new imaging modalities and novel mathematical concepts. As our scientific experiments produce larger and larger datasets and we aim for faster and faster throughput, it becomes increasingly important to study the involved numerical algorithms in a systematic and principled manner. Indeed, the last decade has witnessed a surge in the systematic study of computational algorithms for phase retrieval. In this paper we will review these recent advances from a numerical viewpoint.

description: Geographical indications emerged on the international scene at the centre of three highly debated subjects: intellectual property, international trade and agricultural policy. This article discusses the use of geographical indications in the protection of traditional knowledge–based agricultural products in the international intellectual property framework, and assesses the challenges and opportunities geographical indications present with respect to efforts to cater to the needs of indigenous people and local communities. The discussion begins with a succinct overview of the definitional aspects of geographical indications, traditional knowledge and traditional knowledge–based agricultural products. In an attempt to locate the issue of geographical indications in the current intellectual property landscape, the article examines their regulation in international and national legal frameworks, and critically appraises the attendant controversies in international negotiations. The article then broaches issues to do with the link between geographical indications and traditional knowledge, and examines the cultural, economic and environmental issues in policy debates surrounding the applicability of geographical indications to traditional knowledge–based agricultural products.

description: We implement the Multi-Rate Mass Transfer (MRMT) model for mobile-immobile transport in porous media within the open-source finite volume library \textsc{OpenFOAM}\reg \citep{Foundation2014}. Unlike other codes available in the literature [Geiger, S., Dentz, M., Neuweiler, I., SPE Reservoir Characterisation and Simulation Conference and Exhibition (2011); Silva, O., Carrera, J., Dentz, M., Kumar, S., Alcolea, A., Willmann, M., Hydrology and Earth System Sciences 13, (2009)], we propose an implementation that can be applied to complex three-dimensional geometries and highly heterogeneous fields, where the parameters of the MRMT can arbitrarily vary in space. Furthermore, being built over the widely diffused OpenFOAM\reg library, it can be easily extended and included in other models, and run in parallel. We briefly describe the structure of the < multiContinuumModels > library that includes the formulation of the MRMT based on the works of [Haggerty, R., Gorelick, S.M., Water Resources Research 31, (1995)] and [F. Municchi and M. Icardi Phys. Rev. Research 2, 013041, (2020)]. The implementation is verified against benchmark solutions and tested on two- and three-dimensional random permeability fields. The role of various physical and numerical parameters, including the transfer rates, the heterogeneities, and the number of terms in the MRMT expansions is investigated. Finally, we illustrate the significant role played by heterogeneity in the mass transfer when permeability and porosity are represented using Gaussian random fields.

title: Protein fermentation, gut microbiota and colorectal cancer
Creators: name: Al Hinai, Eiman Abdulla Mohamed Zahir
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this project was to determine the interaction between dietary protein and the gut microbiome in the production of genotoxic metabolites, with a particular focus on the poorly characterised metabolite 4-cresol. The thesis describes, in the first instance, data from a large human observation study (n=205 healthy Omani adults). In which dietary records and urinary nitrogen excretion were used to estimate protein consumption in relation to urinary 4-cresol excretion. The study observed positive correlations between excreted 4 cresol and protein intake and then sought to explain the inter-individual variance in this by evaluating the influence of the colonic microbiota. Then the study focused on predicting 4-cresol exposures in the colon using in vitro gut fermentation models. The microbiota composition and metabolic profiles from these models are evaluated against different substrates, including comparisons of animal and plant proteins. We show that the total production of 4-cresol is dependent both on the host microbiota and also upon the dietary nitrogen source. The metabolite profiles of these fermentations may be used to predict DNA damage, with 4-cresol emerging as the greatest correlate of fermentation supernatant mediated genotoxicity. Finally, the study explored whether specific tumour isolates of F. nucleatum produce 4-cresol, or other genotoxins, that could drive intestinal carcinogenesis. At this stage the study is unable to conclude whether or not these isolates are passengers or drivers of intestinal disease. This work suggests the need for better models of the effects of the tumour environment on microbial growth. The most significant aspect of this thesis is that it evidences both the potential genotoxic contribution of 4-cresol in the colonic milieu, but also that urinary 4-cresol sulfate may be used as a biomarker of genotoxic colonic fermentation and thus, may be of use as a cancer risk endpoint in future dietary intervention study.

Yrast band in the heavy $N = Z$ nucleus $^{88}$Ru: $α$-cluster approach

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: The yrast band in the heavy $N = Z$ nucleus $^{88}$Ru is studied in the framework of the $α$-cluster model in combination with double-folding potentials. It is found that the excitation energies of the yrast band in $^{88}$Ru can be nicely described within the $α$-cluster approach using a smooth and mildly $L$-dependent adjustment of the potential strength. This result is similar to well-established $α$-cluster states in nuclei with a (magic core $\otimes$ $α$) structure. Contrary, the yrast bands in neighboring $N \ne Z$ nuclei deviate from such a typical $α$-cluster behavior. Finally, the $α$-cluster model predicts reduced transition strengths of about 10 Weisskopf units for intraband transitions between low-lying states in the yrast band of $^{88}$Ru.

description: In the context of the late modernity, both Warburg and Benjamin put themselves on a borderline position. From that point of view, they show a common methodological and heuristic issue, consisting in creating “spaces for thinking” (Denkräume) from where it would be possible to redraw in a newly conceived “topography” the metaphysical maps by means of which we have represented our world. This kind of critical operation requires a different focus on the relathionships between writing and image, space and time, and it cannot be separated from an experience (even in a biographical sense) of “ownness” and “extraneity”. Thanks to this experience, the event of discovery outlines itself as an act of remembrance and, at the same time, as a promise for the future.

description: We show that in boundary CFTs, there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the boundary operator expansion of the two-point correlation function and a power series expansion of the layer susceptibility. This general property allows the direct identification of the boundary spectrum and expansion coefficients from the layer susceptibility and opens a new way for efficient calculations of two-point correlators in BCFTs. To show how it works we derive an explicit expression for the correlation function $\langleϕ_i ϕ^i\rangle$ of the O(N) model at the extraordinary transition in 4-$ε$ dimensional semi-infinite space to order $O(ε)$. The bulk operator product expansion of the two-point function gives access to the spectrum of the bulk CFT. In our example, we obtain the averaged anomalous dimensions of scalar composite operators of the O(N) model to order $O(ε^2)$. These agree with the known results both in $ε$ and large-N expansions.

description: I discuss the range of validity of Detweiler's formula for the resonant frequencies of rapidly rotating Kerr black holes. While his formula is correct for extremal black holes, it has also been commonly accepted that it describes very well the resonant frequencies of near extremal black holes, and that therefore there is a large number of modes clustering on the real axis as the black hole becomes extremal. I will show that this last statement is not only incorrect, but that it also does not follow from Detweiler's formula, provided it is handled with due care. It turns out that only the first n << -log{(r_+-r_-)/r_+} modes are well described by that formula, which translates, for any astrophysical black hole, into one or two modes only. All existing numerical data gives further support to this claim. I also discuss some implications of this result for recent investigations on the late-time dynamics of rapidly rotating black holes.

Year: 2024

description: This article explores the pivotal role of differentiated instruction in the development of adolescents' oral English skills. Differentiated instruction, a pedagogical approach that tailors learning experiences to individual student needs, is increasingly recognized as essential for enhancing oral language competence among diverse learners. Drawing on educational theories such as constructivism, multiple intelligences, and language acquisition, the article discusses how customized instructional strategies can address varying proficiency levels, engage student interests, and cater to different learning styles. Key methods include flexible grouping, tiered assignments, and the integration of technology, all designed to promote active engagement and collaborative learning. The article also considers the challenges of implementing differentiated instruction and emphasizes its importance in preparing adolescents for global communication demands.

description: Misinformation is an ever increasing problem that is difficult to solve for the research community and has a negative impact on the society at large. Very recently, the problem has been addressed with a crowdsourcing-based approach to scale up labeling efforts: to assess the truthfulness of a statement, instead of relying on a few experts, a crowd of (non-expert) judges is exploited. We follow the same approach to study whether crowdsourcing is an effective and reliable method to assess statements truthfulness during a pandemic. We specifically target statements related to the COVID-19 health emergency, that is still ongoing at the time of the study and has arguably caused an increase of the amount of misinformation that is spreading online (a phenomenon for which the term "infodemic" has been used). By doing so, we are able to address (mis)information that is both related to a sensitive and personal issue like health and very recent as compared to when the judgment is done: two issues that have not been analyzed in related work. In our experiment, crowd workers are asked to assess the truthfulness of statements, as well as to provide evidence for the assessments as a URL and a text justification. Besides showing that the crowd is able to accurately judge the truthfulness of the statements, we also report results on many different aspects, including: agreement among workers, the effect of different aggregation functions, of scales transformations, and of workers background / bias. We also analyze workers behavior, in terms of queries submitted, URLs found / selected, text justifications, and other behavioral data like clicks and mouse actions collected by means of an ad hoc logger.

description: Los debates académicos y de políticas acerca de la actividad microempresarial se centran frecuentemente en las restricciones crediticias, asumiendo que los negocios se manejan de manera óptima dadas esas y otras restricciones. Los microempresarios, sin embargo, raramente tienen capacitación formal en gestión empresarial. Por su parte, un número creciente de instituciones de microfinanzas (IMF), en el Perú y el mundo, procura construir el capital humano de estos microempresarios para mejorar sus niveles de vida, contribuyendo a su misión de reducir la pobreza. Con ayuda de un diseño experimental, en este estudio medimos el impacto marginal de agregar un componente de capacitación en gestión empresarial a un programa de servicios financieros que atiende a mujeres microempresarias peruanas a través de la metodología de bancos comunales. Los grupos de tratamiento recibieron, por un período de entre uno y dos años, sesiones de capacitación de treinta a sesenta minutos de duración durante las reuniones habituales, semanales o mensuales, del banco comunal. Los grupos de control permanecieron como antes, reuniéndose con la misma frecuencia, pero únicamente para hacer pagos de préstamos y depósitos de ahorros. Encontramos evidencia de que el programa mejora el conocimiento de las microempresarias acerca de las buenas prácticas de gestión empresarial, pero los efectos sobre resultados clave como los ingresos, ganancias o nivel de empleo en los negocios son nulos o no del todo robustos. Sin embargo, las tasas de retención de las socias en las IMF sí aumentan significativamente.

description: Using the 1/N_C expansion scheme and truncating the hadronic spectrum to the lowest-lying resonances, we match a meromorphic approximation to the < S P P > Green function onto QCD by imposing the correct large-momentum falloff, both off-shell and on the relevant hadron mass shells. In this way we determine a number of chiral low-energy constants of O(p^6), in particular the ones governing SU(3) breaking in the K_{l3} vector form factor at zero momentum transfer. The main result of our matching procedure is that the known loop contributions largely dominate the corrections of O(p^6) to f_{+}(0). We discuss the implications of our final value f_{+}^{K^0 π^-}(0)=0.984 \pm 0.012 for the extraction of V_{us} from K_{l3} decays.

description: La industria láctea Argentina (usinas lácteas) vive en un entorno de constante cambio y evolución, actualmente enfrentándose a importantes tendencias de los consumidores y retos tecnológicos. Las tendencias del mercado y la demanda apuntan hacia una mayor personalización de los productos, variedad de envases, comidas más saludables, mayores exigencias regulatorias en calidad y procesos, mayor planificación de la producción, entre otras. Sin embargo, una de las grandes preocupaciones del sector quesero es la seguridad alimentaria y la reinvención a alimentos más saludables. Los consumidores comienzan a preocuparse tanto por los ingredientes utilizados como toda información proveniente de los ciclos de producción. Esto obliga a las industrias a replantearse y recrearse para seguir siendo competitivas en el campo, tanto en la innovación en investigación y desarrollo de nuevos alimentos, como en la producción y tecnologías de conservación y aseguramiento de la calidad. En este sentido, las tecnologías de Industria 4.0 han irrumpido con fuerza en el sector y vienen a dar respuestas a estas necesidades. Sin embargo, existe una dificultad marcada en su implementación, principalmente porque el sector está formado en gran parte por pequeñas y medianas empresas (PyMEs), cuyo margen de beneficios son bajos. Generalmente las empresas queseras asocian su puesta en práctica con grandes inversiones que no pueden permitir. En este sentido, nuestro grupo de trabajo conoce que el paradigma 4.0 es un proceso progresivo. Por este motivo, planteamos la idea de comenzar con una restructuración interna basadas principalmente en la realidad de cada PyME, priorizando el principal aspecto: su producción. Por lo tanto, la propuesta presentada tiene que ver con una arquitectura de IIoT adaptada para las usinas lácteas, con una etapa de implementación inicial que tienen que ver con la propuesta de arquitectura, instalación de tecnologías de sensado, registro y monitoreo en tiempo real de las principales variables fisicoquímicas en las tinas de producción de queso, variables ambientales en las áreas de maduración y almacenamiento, consumo eléctrico y de las principales parámetros de funcionamiento de las máquinas de soporte de los procesos productivos.

description: The passage of an ion-acoustic solitary wave through the boundary between an electron-ion plasma and a negative ion plasma is considered. After the ion-acoustic solitary wave enters the region of another plasma, a disturbance arises, from which an ion-acoustic solitary wave and a chain of oscillations form over time. The amplitude of the ion-acoustic solitary wave after passage through the boundary changes in such a way that its value in the electron-ion plasma is greater than its value in the negative ion plasmas. An exception is the case of a compressive ion-acoustic solitary wave propagating through the negative ion plasma and having an amplitude exceeding the critical amplitude in the electron-ion plasma. Such an ion-acoustic solitary wave, when entering an electron-ion plasma, releases an excess of energy to accelerate positive ions and thereby reduces its amplitude below the critical value. The dependence of the amplitude of an ion-acoustic solitary wave established after the boundary crossing on its initial amplitude is determined. The passage of an ion-acoustic solitary wave through a layer of negative ion plasma surrounded by electron-ion plasmas is considered. It is shown that the passage of a rarefactive ion-acoustic solitary wave from the negative ion plasma into the electron-ion plasma causes disturbance, in which accelerated and trapped negative ions can be observed.

description: The highest velocity neutron stars establish stringent constraints on natal kicks, asymmetries in supernova core collapse, and the evolution of close binary systems. Here we present the first results of a long-term pulsar astrometry program using the VLBA. We measure a proper motion and parallax for the pulsar B1508+55, leading to model-independent estimates of its distance (2.37+0.23-0.20 kpc) and transverse velocity (1083+103-90 km/s), the highest velocity directly measured for a neutron star. We trace the pulsar back from its present Galactic latitude of 52.3 degrees to a birth site in the Galactic plane near the Cyg OB associations, and find that it will inevitably escape the Galaxy. Binary disruption alone is insufficient to impart the required birth velocity, and a natal kick is indicated. A composite scenario including a large kick along with binary disruption can plausibly account for the high velocity.

description: We report on the results of a detailed analysis of the X-ray spectral properties of a large sample of sources detected serendipitously with the XMM-Newton observatory in 25 selected fields. The survey covers a total solid angle of ~3.5 deg2 and contains 1137 sources with ~10E-15 < S0.5-10 < 10E-12 erg cm-2 s-1. We find evidence for hardening of the average X-ray spectra of the sources towards fainter fluxes. We interpret this as indicating a higher degree of photoelectric absorption amongst the fainter population. Absorption is detected at 95% confidence in 20% of the sources, but it could certainly be present in many other sources below our detection capabilities. For Broad Line AGNs (BLAGNs), we detect absorption in ~10% of the sources with column densities in the range 10E21 - 10E22 cm-2. The fraction of absorbed Narrow Emission Line galaxies (NELGs, most with intrinsic X-ray luminosities >10E43 erg s-1, and therefore classified as type 2 AGNs) is significantly higher (40%), with a hint of moderately higher columns. We do not find evidence for a redshift evolution of the underlying power law index of BLAGNs, which stays roughly constant at Gamma ~1.9, with intrinsic dispersion of 0.4. A small fraction (~7%) of BLAGNs and NELGs require the presence of a soft excess, that we model as a black body with temperature ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 keV. Comparing our results on absorption to popular X-ray background synthesis models, we find absorption in only ~40% of the sources expected. This is due to a deficiency of heavily absorbed sources (with NH ~10E22 - 10E24 cm-2) in our sample in comparison with the models. We therefore conclude that the synthesis models require some revision in their specific parameters.

description: The problem of an impurity electron in a quantum ring (QR) in the presence of a radially directed strong external electric field is investigated in detail. Both an analytical and a numerical approach to the problem are developed. The analytical investigation focuses on the regime of a strong wire-electric field compared to the electric field due to the impurity. An adiabatic and quasiclassical approximation is employed. The explicit dependencies of the binding energy of the impurity electron on the electric field strength, parameters of the QR and position of the impurity within the QR are obtained. Numerical calculations of the binding energy based on a finite-difference method in two and three dimensions are performed for arbitrary strengths of the electric field. It is shown that the binding energy of the impurity electron exhibits a maximum as a function of the radial position of the impurity that can be shifted arbitrarily by applying a corresponding wire-electric field. The maximal binding energy monotonically increases with increasing electric field strength. The inversion effect of the electric field is found to occur. An increase of the longitudinal displacement of the impurity typically leads to a decrease of the binding energy. Results for both low- and high-quantum rings are derived and discussed. Suggestions for an experimentally accessible set-up associated with the GaAs/GaAlAs QR are provided.

description: William served in the war from 1914-18, and was a Regimental Sergeant Major. He had a younger brother serving too. William told his younger brother Joseph to wait to be called up to the army, but Joseph volunteered early as he wanted to be with his older brother. Joseph was killed a few weeks on arrival in France, aged 22. William was buried alive during battle with just his feet showing, but then he was dug out and so his life was saved. He was presented the D.C.M by the King in Belgium.

description: We have investigated the anisotropic thermal expansion of graphite using ab-initio calculation of lattice dynamics and anharmonicity of the phonons, which reveal that the negative thermal expansion (NTE) in the a-b plane below 600 K and very large positive thermal expansion along the c-axis up to high temperatures arise due to various phonons polarized along the c-axis. While the NTE arises from the anharmonicity of transverse phonons over a broad energy range up to 60 meV, the large positive expansion along the c-axis occurs largely due to the longitudinal optic phonon modes around 16 meV and a large linear compressibility along the c-axis. The hugely anisotropic bonding in graphite is found to be responsible for wide difference in the energy range of the transverse and longitudinal phonon modes polarized along the c-axis, which are responsible for the anomalous thermal expansion behavior. This behaviour is in contrast to other nearly isotropic hexagonal structures like water-ice, which show anomalous thermal expansion in a small temperature range arising from a narrow energy range of phonons.
