description: A microscopic model for the diluted spin-mixed compounds (R_xY_(1-x))_2BaNiO_5 (R=magnetic rare-earth) is studied using Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC). The ordering temperature is shown to be a universal function of the impurity concentration x and the intrinsic Ni-chain correlation length. An effective model for the critical modes is derived. The possibility of a quantum critical point driven by the rare earth-concentration and the existence of a Griffiths phase in the high dilution limit is investigated. Several possible experimental approaches to verify the results are put forward.

description: This paper uses a limited dependent variable approach to model the probability that the Federal Reserve will change its discount rate over a oneweek horizon. The model assumes that the. Federal Reserve looks at the spread between the federal funds rate and the discou~t rate, the level of bank borrowing at the discount window, movements in the foreign exchange value of the dollar, the rate of gr~wth in the money supply, and general economic conditions.when deciding whether to change the discount rate. The specific factors that affect the probability of a discount rate change should depend on the operating procedure that the Fed uses. We test this hypothesis by comparing discount rate policy under the federal funds rate targeting procedure (prior to October 1979), the nonborrc>wed reserves targeting procedure (October 1979 to October.1982), and the borrowed reserves targeting procedure (after October 1982). We find evidence that discount rate policy was substantially different under each of the three operating procedures.

title: A critical edition of John Henry Newman's 'Lectures on the present position of Catholics in England' (1851)
Creators: name: Nash, Andrew
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: This critical edition of John Henry Newman's Lectures on the Present Position of Catholics in England is comprised of an Introduction, Editor's Notes and Textual Appendices. The text of the lectures themselves is appended separately bound. Section I of the Introduction draws on recent research to describe both the immediate historical context, the 1850-1 `Papal Aggression' crisis, and the wider background of anti- Catholicism in Britain. Section II gives a detailed account of the composition of the text, drawing on Newman's diaries and the extant preparatory material which is transcribed and compared with the published text in Textual Appendices 2 and 3. All the textual variants between the first and final editions are listed in full in Textual Appendix 1; the significance of these is assessed. Section III is a detailed survey of Newman as a satirist, showing the development of common themes in his satire and the relation of Present Position to both his earlier and later work. Section IV traces the central satirical strategy used in Present Position: a drama played out between the Catholic Church and a series of prejudiced opponents who are gradually disarmed. Key passages are analysed in detail. Section V analyses and evaluates contemporary reactions to the lectures from primary sources, both Catholic and Protestant. It then gives a comprehensive and detailed survey of critical responses from the death of Newman to the present day and analyses and evaluates them. The Editor's Notes give explanations of every historical, contemporary, political, literary, legendary, scriptural, ecclesiastical, theological, hagiographical or other reference in the text. Newman's primary sources are quoted, and all his quotations and references fully elucidated. Parallel passages in his other writings are identified, as are parallels from other sources. The Notes are in effect a commentary on the Lectures, shedding new light on their context and illuminating their meaning.

description: Suppose Alice and Bob try to transform an entangled state shared between them into another one by local operations and classical communications. Then in general a certain amount of entanglement contained in the initial state will decrease in the process of transformation. However, an interesting phenomenon called partial entanglement recovery shows that it is possible to recover some amount of entanglement by adding another entangled state and transforming the two entangled states collectively. In this paper we are mainly concerned with the feasibility of partial entanglement recovery. The basic problem we address is whether a given state is useful in recovering entanglement lost in a specified transformation. In the case where the source and target states of the original transformation satisfy the strict majorization relation, a necessary and sufficient condition for partial entanglement recovery is obtained. For the general case we give two sufficient conditions. We also give an efficient algorithm for the feasibility of partial entanglement recovery in polynomial time. As applications, we establish some interesting connections between partial entanglement recovery and the generation of maximally entangled states, quantum catalysis, mutual catalysis, and multiple-copy entanglement transformation.

description: Ein kurzer Profilabschnitt aus dem Seewadel im Hegau bei Singen wurde bezüglich der Pollen, Großreste und der Geochemie in 1cm-Abständen untersucht. Bei den chemischen Analysen wurden 28 Parameter gemessen. Das Profil zeigt nicht die typischen Maxima der Schwermetalle in den obersten Zentimetern. Dies liegt am relativ tief liegenden Grundwasserstand. Das Profil zeigt einen interessanten kleinen Peak der Elemente Sn, Ni und Mo bei einer Tiefe von 28 cm. Im Pollendiagramm kann man drei Schlagphasen erkennen, die sich im Rückgang der Fichtenkurve zeigen. Der Torf besteht hauptsächlich aus Sphagnum palustre. Anhand von Großresten konnte das ehemalige Vorkommen von Betula humilis im Seewadel nachgewiesen werden. Die parallele Bearbeitung der Pollen, Großreste und der chemischen Zusammensetzung hat sich als sehr nützlich erwiesen.
description: A short profile of the upper 31 centimeters of the Seewadel was analysed for pollen, plant macrofossils and chemistry in intervals of 1 centimeter. 28 chemical factors were analysed. The profile does not show the typical maxima of the heavy metals in the upper part. That is because of the low ground-water level. There exists an interesting peak of Sn, Ni and Mo. In the pollen diagramm one can notice three phases of tree-cutting by the decline of Picea. The peat consists mainly of Sphagnum palustre. By seeds the existence of Betula humilis in the Seewadel could be proved in the past. The combined analysis of pollen, macrofossils and chemistry proved very useful.

Gravitational Instability of Yang-Mills Cosmologies

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The gravitational instability of Yang-Mills cosmologies is numerically studied with the hamiltonian formulation of the spherically symmetric Einstein-Yang-Mills equations with SU(2) gauge group. On the short term, the expansion dilutes the energy densities of the Yang-Mills fluctuations due to their conformal invariance. In this early regime, the gauge potentials appear oscillating quietly in an interaction potential quite similar to the one of the homogeneous case. However, on the long term, the expansion finally becomes significantly inhomogeneous and no more mimics a conformal transformation of the metric. Thereafter, the Yang-Mills fluctuations enter a complex non-linear regime, accompanied by diffusion, while their associated energy contrasts grow.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Here I review the current state of the field of optical stellar interferometry, concentrating on ground-based work although a brief report of space interferometry missions is included. We pause both to reflect on decades of immense progress in the field as well as to prepare for a new generation of large interferometers just now being commissioned (most notably, the CHARA, Keck and VLT Interferometers). First, this review summarizes the basic principles behind stellar interferometry needed by the lay-physicist and general astronomer to understand the scientific potential as well as technical challenges of interferometry. Next, the basic design principles of practical interferometers are discussed, using the experience of past and existing facilities to illustrate important points. Here there is significant discussion of current trends in the field, including the new facilities under construction and advanced technologies being debuted. This decade has seen the influence of stellar interferometry extend beyond classical regimes of stellar diameters and binary orbits to new areas such as mapping the accretion disks around young stars, novel calibration of the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation, and imaging of stellar surfaces. The third section is devoted to the major scientific results from interferometry, grouped into natural categories reflecting these current developments. Lastly, I consider the future of interferometry, highlighting the kinds of new science promised by the interferometers coming on-line in the next few years. I also discuss the longer-term future of optical interferometry, including the prospects for space interferometry and the possibilities of large-scale ground-based projects. Critical technological developments are still needed to make these projects attractive and affordable.

description: This letter proposes a one-shot algorithm for feature-distributed kernel PCA. Our algorithm is inspired by the dual relationship between sample-distributed and feature-distributed scenario. This interesting relationship makes it possible to establish distributed kernel PCA for feature-distributed cases from ideas in distributed PCA in sample-distributed scenario. In theoretical part, we analyze the approximation error for both linear and RBF kernels. The result suggests that when eigenvalues decay fast, the proposed algorithm gives high quality results with low communication cost. This result is also verified by numerical experiments, showing the effectiveness of our algorithm in practice.

description: A game-theoretic framework unifies the revealed preference approach to government objectives· and the policy behavioral equation methodology. Public policies are the equilibrium outcome of a cooperative game among interest groups and the policy maker. This study stresses the interdependencebetween policies and players' bargaining strength, and derives their comparative statics with respect to a changing economic environment. ·rt provides a specification of behavioral equations consistent with the underlying bargaining process. An analysis of the political economy of food and agricultural price policies in Senegal illustrates the proposed framework.
title: Understanding the ethical consumer: employing a frame of bounded rationality
Creators: name: Newholm, Terry
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: This thesis is about ethical consumers. In some business circles ethical consumers are treated simply as one kind of consumer in a market society where a niche can be created to satisfy every preference. Conversely some advocates of more radical change propose consumer activism as part of a movement which will force ethical considerations into the decision-making of capitalist businesses and governments alike. Questions about ethics are central to consumer society. Unlike most recent research into the 'green' or 'socially conscious' consumer that has been based on either extensive quantitative surveys or focus groups, the research presented here analyses consumer decisions in a social context. Sixteen case studies of ethical consumers in differing circumstances are developed in considerable detail. Starting from the theoretical observation that being an ethical consumer presents apparently daunting difficulties, especially with respect to decision making, the research uses bounded rationality theory to explain how these cases maintain their self-image as ethical. From these data I suggest thinking of ethical consumers as adopting coping strategies. Those contributing to the study were seen to be 'distancing' themselves from practices they consider unethical, 'integrating' their lives around addressing the issues current in ethical consumer discourse and/or 'rationalising' their ethical consumption against their acceptance of consumer capitalism. Each strategy can be shown to reduce the scope and/or difficulty of decision making. Finally, consideration is given to the nature of ethical consumption as a political project. Individual consumers respond in diverse ways to a social discourse on any given ethical issue even where strong and clear consumption advice is given. I argue that ethical consumerism is limited by the capacity of individuals to give attention to more than a few actions. Its political significance is nevertheless enhanced by the unpredictability of consumer response.

The total cross sections as well as one angular distribution for the highest Q-value are presented. The excitation function of the near threshold data can be described by a pure s-wave phase space distribution with the inclusion of the proton-proton final state interaction and Coulomb effects. The obtained angular distribution of the eta-prime mesons is also consistent with pure s-wave production.

description: Beef and dairy cattle production, like any other agri-business enterprise, has to justify its existence by making a profit. This has led to an increased dependence on management decisions based on sound, accurate, useful and timely records. The Virgin Islands Beef Cattle Improvement Program (VIBCIP) and the Virgin Islands Dairy Herd Improvement Program (V1DHIP) provide the farmer with the necessary tools to get the maximum return on his investment in his livestock enterprise by identifying the most profitable animals. The VEBCIP has contributed to the increase in the average weaning weight of calves from 450 lbs. in 1979 to 505 lbs. in 1987. It has also aided in the sale and exportation of quality breeding stock to the United States, Central and South America and the Caribbean. The VIDHIP has helped to increase the rolling herd average of its members from 7,000 lbs. in 1982 to 8,500 lbs. in 1987.

description: During 1987-88, ten varieties of cassava were tested for yields at eleven different sites in Jamaica having different elevations, rainfall and soil types. From two to nine varieties were tested at each site, in a total of thirty-one plots. Planting was at the rate of 5,500 sticks per acre, about double the customary rate. Average yield with all plots weighted equally was 12.6 tons per acre, about double the national average. The most outstanding varieties were Blue Bud, a sweet variety which averaged 15 tons/acre, and Smalling, a bitter variety which averaged 13 tons/acre, other promising varieties requiring further testing are Bobby Hanson, E.P., and co-3 0. The results clearly demonstrated the significant increases in yields associated with denser planting rates. There was some indication that yields decreased above 1,900 ft. elevation. No trends with respect to soil texture or average rainfall (by sites) was identified. costs were J$2,965 with manual land preparation and J$2,490 with mechanical land preparation per acre. At 1987-88 prices, and using a conservative estimate of 10 tons/acre yields, a farm gate price of JS0.15 per pound is required to cover production costs.

description: In the present paper we discuss the effect of artificial magneto-dielectric substrates on the impedance bandwidth properties of microstrip antennas. The results found in the literature for antenna miniaturization using magnetic or magneto-dielectric substrates are revised, and discussion is addressed to the practically realizable artificial magnetic media operating in the microwave regime. Using a transmission-line model we, first, reproduce the known results for antenna miniaturization with non-dispersive material fillings. Next, a realistic dispersive behavior of a practically realizable artificial substrate is embedded into the model, and we show that frequency dispersion of the substrate plays a very important role in the impedance bandwidth characteristics of the loaded antenna. The impedance bandwidths of reduced size patch antennas loaded with dispersive magneto-dielectric substrates and high-permittivity substrates are compared. It is shown that unlike substrates with dispersion-free permeability, practically realizable artificial substrates with dispersive magnetic permeability are not advantageous in antenna miniaturization. This conclusion is experimentally validated.

description: It is known that for multi-level time-dependent quantum systems one can construct superadiabatic representations in which the coupling between separated levels is exponentially small in the adiabatic limit. For a family of two-state systems with real-symmetric Hamiltonian we construct such a superadiabatic representation and explicitly determine the asymptotic behavior of the exponentially small coupling term. First order perturbation theory in the superadiabatic representation then allows us to describe the time-development of exponentially small adiabatic transitions. The latter result rigorously confirms the predictions of Sir Michael Berry for our family of Hamiltonians and slightly generalizes a recent mathematical result of George Hagedorn and Alain Joye.

description: Topological insulators are frequently also one of the best known thermoelectric materials. It has been recently discovered that in 3D topological insulators each skew dislocation can host a pair of 1D topological states a helical TLL. We derive exact analytical formulas for thermoelectric Seebeck coefficient in TLL and investigate up to what extent one can ascribe the outstanding thermoelectric properties of Bi 2 Te 3 to these 1D topological states. To this end we take a model of a dense dislocation network and find an analytic formula for an overlap between 1D (the TLL) and 3D electronic states. Our study is applicable to a weakly n-doped Bi 2 Te 3 but also to a broader class of nano-structured materials with artificially created 1D systems. Furthermore, our results can be used at finite frequency settings e.g. to capture transport activated by photo-excitations.

description: The microstructure of (In,Mn)As thin films grown using metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) was investigated to determine the origin of room temperature ferromagnetism in these films. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based techniques were used to investigate phase purity and compositional homogeneity. Microanalysis of an In1-xMnxAs film with x = 0.01 and a Curie temperature of 330 K exhibited a homogeneous distribution of Mn. High Mn concentration films with x = 0.20 exhibited MnAs precipitates within the (In,Mn)As matrix. The analysis indicates that room temperature ferromagnetic, single-phase (In,Mn)As can be formed by MOVPE. The origin of ferromagnetism is attributed to (In,Mn)As solid solution rather than distinct secondary Mn-rich magnetic phase(s).

description: The production potential of native pastures, grazed by V.I. White hair sheep, was examined during the dry season (Jan. to Aug. 1987; avg. monthly rainfall: 94mm). Animals were put on a rotational grazing system at a stocking rate of 5 ewes with lambs/ha, on pastures containing predominantly Guinea grass (Panicum maximum) and Leucaena leucocephala, as well as native legumes. Pastures were fertilized (21-0-0; 336kg/ha)in Dec. 1986. Crude protein was 8.1+1.5, 28.3+1.0, and 16.7+1.4%, and in vitro digestibility 53.2+3.0, 59.1±1.7 and 51.4+2.8% in P. maximum, L. leucocephala and the native legumes, respectively. Mature, pregnant ewes (n=40) increased in body weight from 35.6 + 0.9k.g at conception to 47.2±0.8k.g at parturition, producing 5.1+0.3kg of lamb, at a lambing rate of 1.60 lambs/ewe lambing. These ewes weaned 16.6+0.9kg of lamb at 9 weeks post partum, at a weaning rate of 1.43 lambs/ewe lambing. The data suggest that fertilized, native pastures, under a rotational grazing system with moderate stocking rates, are able to support high reproductive rates under dry season conditions.
Working memory, phonological awareness and word recognition in Arabic orthography.

Subjects: Applied Psychology

description: This study compared the effects of phonological awareness and working memory capacity on word recognition in Arabic. Previous results showed reliable relationships between speed word recognition in Arabic language and some skills, such us phonological abilities and working memory capacity. The main goal of this work was to determine how working memory and phonological awareness influence word recognition in Arabic readers. We aimed at differentiating the contributions of phonological awareness and working memory capacity in word processing. A total of 70 first and third grade native Arabic readers (Age range between 6 and 8 years) have participated in this study. We evaluate performance of participants in word processing, phonological awareness and working memory. Consistent with previous data, our results highlight the growth of the predictive power of working memory comparably with phonological awareness in word processing from first to third grades. These findings assert that the development of working memory capacity leads to the improvement of word recognition achievements. So we concluded that working memory measures could be sufficient for the prediction of word recognition performance in Arabic orthography.

description: We propose `Tapestry', a novel approach to pooled testing with application to COVID-19 testing with quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) that can result in shorter testing time and conservation of reagents and testing kits. Tapestry combines ideas from compressed sensing and combinatorial group testing with a novel noise model for RT-PCR used for generation of synthetic data. Unlike Boolean group testing algorithms, the input is a quantitative readout from each test and the output is a list of viral loads for each sample relative to the pool with the highest viral load. While other pooling techniques require a second confirmatory assay, Tapestry obtains individual sample-level results in a single round of testing, at clinically acceptable false positive or false negative rates. We also propose designs for pooling matrices that facilitate good prediction of the infected samples while remaining practically viable. When testing $n$ samples out of which $k \ll n$ are infected, our method needs only $O(k \log n)$ tests when using random binary pooling matrices, with high probability. However, we also use deterministic binary pooling matrices based on combinatorial design ideas of Kirkman Triple Systems to balance between good reconstruction properties and matrix sparsity for ease of pooling. In practice, we have observed the need for fewer tests with such matrices than with random pooling matrices. This makes Tapestry capable of very large savings at low prevalence rates, while simultaneously remaining viable even at prevalence rates as high as 9.5\%. Empirically we find that single-round Tapestry pooling improves over two-round Dorfman pooling by almost a factor of 2 in the number of tests required. We validate Tapestry in simulations and wet lab experiments with oligomers in quantitative RT-PCR assays. Lastly, we describe use-case scenarios for deployment.

description: Two evaluation trials of the Solo papaya cv. Sunrise were conducted in an oxisol in Puerto Rico. The first planting consisted of 46 trees obtained from seeds introduced from Hawaii. The second, of 183 trees obtained from seeds from a local grower. Plants were spaced 1.8m x 3m. A low agricultural input approach was followed. In the first planting, the ratio of hermaphrodites to females was 2s If in the second, 2.5:1. Thirteen percent of the trees in the first planting were eliminated before 4 months due to viruses and micoplasms. In 7 months, 32.6% were discarded. In the second planting, 14.7% were eliminated before 4 months. Female trees in both plantings produced larger fruits but less fruits per trees. Hermaphrodites produced an average of 65 fruits/tree with an average weight of 0.38 kg/fruit from the first planting; females, 35 fruits/tree weighing 0.5 kg/fruit. During 7 months of weekly harvesting, production from the first planting amounted the equivalent of 38,380 kg/ha of marketable fruit. Data on average yield/tree, average yield/week, tree height and stem diameter are presented.

description: In this paper we explore CP discrimination in the associated production of top-quark pairs ($t\bar{t}$) with a generic scalar boson ($ϕ$) at the LHC. We probe the CP-sensitivity of several observables for a varying scalar boson mass and CP-number, either CP-even ($ϕ=H$) or CP-odd ($ϕ=A$), using dileptonic final states of the $t\bar{t}ϕ$ system, with $ϕ\rightarrow b\bar{b}$. We show that CP-searches are virtually impossible for $ϕ$ boson masses above a few hundred GeV in this channel. A full phenomenological analysis was performed, using Standard Model background and signal events generated with MadGraph5 MC@NLO and reconstructed using a kinematic fit. The most sensitive CP-observables are used to compute Confidence Levels (CLs), as a function of luminosity, for the exclusion of different signal hypotheses with scalar and pseudoscalar boson masses that range from $m_ϕ$ = 40 GeV up to 200 GeV. We finalize by analysing the impact of a measurement (or limit) of the CP-violating angle in the parameter space of a complex two-Higgs doublet model known as the C2HDM.

Cooperativity and Contact Order in Protein Folding

description: The effects of cooperativity are studied within Go-Lennard-Jones models of proteins by making the contact interactions dependent on the proximity to the native conformation. The kinetic universality classes are found to remain the same as in the absence of cooperativity. For a fixed native geometry, small changes in the effective contact map may affect the folding times in a chance way and to the extent that is comparable to the shift in the folding times due to cooperativity. The contact order controlls folding scenarios: the average times necessary to bring pairs of amino acids into their near native separations depend on the sequential distances within the pairs. This dependence is largely monotonic, regardless of the cooperativity, and the dominant trend could be described by a single parameter like the average contact order. However, it is the deviations from the trend which are usually found to set the net folding times.

description: With the goal of improving the yield of cabbages for commercial production in the low humid tropics, we screened for better-adapted varieties. The characteristics chosen were heat tolerance (good recovery, good heading), the resistance to Xanthomonas campestris and Ervlnia carotovora. Forty-one varieties were studied between 19B3 and 1988, in 10 trials. The varietal screening resulted in the following choices for the first quarter of the year (the best season): KK Cross, Express Cross 60, Leo No. 80, Guardian, Globe King, YR Summer 50, Utopia, Resist Drum Head, Mascotte, Conquistador, Autumn Hero, Globe Master. During the second quarter-year, attacks of the bacterial disease Ervinla carotovora limit the possibilities of cabbage cultivation in Martinique. ----- L' amélioration de la productivité du chou est réalisée par un meilleur choix variétal. Les critères retenue sont 1'adaptation à la chaleur (meilleur reprise, bonne pommaison) , la résistance à XanthomonaB campestris et le comportement vis-a-vis d'Ervinia carotovora. 41 variétés ont été étudiées entre 1983 et 1988 à travers 10 essais. Le choix est donné pour le premier trimestre (saison favorable): KK Cross, Express Cross 60, Léo No. 80, Guardian, Globe King, YR Summer 50, Utopia, Resist Drum Head, Mascotte, Conquistador, Autumn Hero, Globe Master, En deuxi6me trimestre, les attaques d" Erwinia carotovora limitent le développernent de la culture du chou cabus.
