description: In some respects, a cluster consisting of many atoms may be regarded as a single large atom. Knowing the dielectric properties of such a cluster permits one to evaluate the form of the van der Waals (dispersion) interactions between two clusters or between one cluster and a surface. In this paper, we derive these interactions in two extreme opposite regimes of separation: fully retarded and nonretarded. In the fully retarded regime (very large separation), the magnitude of the interaction is determined by just the static polarizability of the cluster(s). In the nonretarded regime (small separation), we employ a single resonant frequency model of thecluster polarizability to derive expressions for the interactions' coefficients. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate that many-body screening of these interactions can be significant. The results represent the corrections to the commonly used approximation of pairwise additivity of interatomic interactions.

description: We present a Monte Carlo implementation of the Bremsstrahlung, Bethe-Heitler and Coulomb Trident processes into the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation framework. In order to address photon and electron-positron pair production in a wide range of physical conditions, we derive Bremsstrahlung and Bethe-Heitler cross sections taking account of screening effects in arbitrarily ionized plasmas. Our calculations are based on a simple model for the atomic Coulomb potential that describes shielding due to both bound electrons, free electrons and ions. We then describe a pairwise particle interaction algorithm suited to weighted PIC plasma simulations, for which we perform several validation tests. Finally, we carry out a parametric study of photon and pair production during high-energy electron transport through micrometric solid foils. Compared to the zero-dimensional model of J. Myatt et al. [Phys. Rev. E 76, 066409 (2009)], our integrated one-dimensional simulations pinpoint the importance of the electron energy losses resulting from the plasma expansion.

description: Producer services grew much faster than other industries in both nonmetro and metro areas during the 1980's, but remain highly concentrated in urban areas. Among the 25 producer services industries, nonmetro areas gained a slightly larger share of employment in some, while losing slightly in others. The decentralizing industries average lower wages than the centralizing industries, suggesting that rural areas are more attractive to lower skilled, ''back office" services.

description: We describe experiments that probe the response to a point force of 2D granular systems under a variety of conditions. Using photoelastic particles to determine forces at the grain scale, we experimentally show that disorder, packing structure, friction and texture significantly affect the average force response in granular systems. For packings with weak disorder, the mean forces propagate primarily along lattice directions. The width of the response along these preferred directions grows with depth, increasingly so as the disorder of the system grows. Also, as the disorder increases, the two propagation directions of the mean force merge into a single direction. The response function for the mean force in the most strongly disordered system is quantitatively consistent with an elastic description for forces applied nearly normally to a surface. These observations are consistent with recent predictions of Bouchaud et al. and with the anisotropic elasticity models of Goldenberg and Goldhirsch. At this time, it is not possible to distinguish between these two models. The data do not support a diffusive picture, as in the q-model. This system with shear deformation is characterized by stress chains that are strongly oriented along an angle of 45 degrees, corresponding to the compressive direction of the shear deformation. In this case, the spatial correlation function for force has a range of only one particle size in the direction transverse to the chains, and varies as a power law in the direction of the chains, with an exponent of -0.81. The response to forces is strongest along the direction of the force chains, as expected. Forces applied in other directions are effectively refocused towards the strong force chain direction.

description: We perform three-body calculation of direct muon-transfer rates from thermalized muonic hydrogen isotopes to bare nuclei Ne$^{10+}$, S$^{16+}$, and Ar$^{18+}$ employing integro-differential Faddeev-Hahn-type equations in configuration space with two-state close-coupling approximation scheme. All Coulomb potentials including the strong final-state Coulomb repulsion are treated exactly. A long-range polarization potential is included in the elastic channel to take into account the high polarizability of the muonic hydrogen. The transfer rates so calculated are in good agreement with recent experiments. We find that the muon is captured predominantly in the $n=6$, 9, and 10 states of muonic Ne$^{10+}$, S$^{16+}$, and Ar$^{18+}$, respectively.

description: Soybean is a major ingredient for animal feeding in the EU, which is highly dependent on its import. Brazil is the main exporter of soy meal to Europe contributing to nearly 30% of EU total import of meal. The last ten years saw an increased demand from the EU feed and food industry in using sustainable raw material. In this context, the European Feed Manufacturer Federation (FEFAC) is currently discussing a guideline for the characteristics that sustainable soy production should have. At the same time, China has increased its share of import of soy and has become the main importer of soy in the world. Competition between Europe and Chine for the supply of soy is increasing. Trade barriers, due to complex sustainability requirements from the EU, could affect its import from Brazil. The SOJAPLUS program is a key initiative concerning the sustainability of soy production in Brazil. It was set up by the Brazilian Vegetable Oil Industries Association (ABIOVE) and by the Soybean Farmers Association (APROSOJA-MT). Considering the potential of this initiative to support the supply to the European market of significant amounts of sustainable soy, the objective of this paper is to discuss the possible harmonization of the sustainability criteria defined by these important EU and Brazilian soy market players. The two set of criteria have been compared, adopting the ITC data base and comparison method; the results show that SOJAPLUS comprises all FEFAC principles and most of its criteria. The main difference, however, is related to the verification system, which in SOJAPLUS is a 1st party system (self-verification) while the FEFAC guidelines consider a 3rd party system (audits); a relevant issue, common to both the FEFAC and SOJAPLUS approach, is related to the inclusion of GMO soy in the sustainability guidelines. As the FEFAC guidelines are still in discussion, there is a very interesting opportunity to harmonize both systems aiming at increasing the sustainability of soybean supply from Brazil to Europe by tackling the difficult challenges of 3rd party certification and GMO soy inclusion. The latter being a major concern for EU consumers, policy makers, farmers’ associations and other stakeholders involved in the processing and consumption of soy.

description: In future years, modern farmers will be under greater pressure to care for a large number of animals in order to remain economically viable. There is a growing global awareness of welfare conditions in animal production and a tendency towards more intensive production, resulting in a need for better genetics and a more precise way to monitor them. The challenge and the success of intensive farming will lie in how precisely we can steer the animals towards their genetic potential. Sensors have the potential to replace the eyes, ears and nose of the farmer by continuously assessing different key indicators throughout the production process, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The continuous automated monitoring of varying needs of individual living farm animals at every moment and anywhere is called Precision Livestock Farming (PLF). The aim of this paper is to describe how PLF-systems are used within the EU-PLF project to work towards an automated assessment of sustainability on farm level, by continuous monitoring of animal behaviour. The roadmap towards a sustainable meat production, viewed from a technologist’s point of view, is described hereafter in four steps. This phase comprises an implementation of PLF tools, where the basic inputs are measured and monitored in function of time. In a next step, a more complete control of the production process is pursued. In this step, the animal is used as a sensor to gather evidence on the animals’ bio response to its environment and management by the farmer. The final step towards the management of the meat production is through the monitoring of emissions and resource efficiency. PLF-technology and continuous monitoring of animal bio responses will improve the understanding of the production process. This will allow the farmer to manage his process by exception. Production data collection and sharing will enhance the transparency throughout the production chain and help the consumer make educated decisions.

description: We present HST photometry of the resolved stellar population in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1705. The galaxy has been observed with both WFPC2 and NICMOS, and successful images have been obtained in the F555W, F814W, F110W and F160W bands. The optical fields cover most of the galaxy, while the infrared field (NIC2) maps only its central regions. The optical photometry provides \~20000 objects down to m_F555W ~ 29 in the PC field of view and ~ 20000 in the three WFCs. In the infrared we have been able to resolve ~ 2400 stars down to m_{F110W}, m_{F160W} ~ 26. A subsample of 1834 stars have been unambiguously measured in all the four bands. The corresponding color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) confirm the existence of an age gradient, showing that NGC 1705 hosts both young (a few Myr old) and very old (up to 15 Gyr old) stars, with the former strongly concentrated toward the galactic center and the latter present everywhere, but much more easily visible in the external regions. The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) is clearly visible both in the optical and in the infrared CMDs and allows us to derive the galaxy distance. Taking into account the uncertainties related to both the photometry and the TRGB magnitude -- distance relation, we find that the distance modulus of NGC 1705 is (m-M)_0=28.54 +- 0.26, corresponding to a distance D=5.1 +- 0.6 Mpc.

description: Supply of fresh food is of vital importance to feed Europe in a healthy way, while Europe has also an important role in feeding the world. Food products and other perishables such as flowers impose very challenging demands on the management of its supply chains. Food networks are struggling with an integrated usage of information and communication technology (ICT) that enables the heterogeneous stakeholders in the food chain to exchange information in real-time and control workflows based on requirements with respect to quality, costs and schedule. Innovative ICT systems that are addressing such challenges are currently being developed by a large European initiative, called FIWARE. Within this paper, we will discuss a portfolio of 31 projects that are realising solutions for the food chain in close collaboration with supporting business partners. Diverse food related topics are addressed, such as logistics, transport, planning & control, tracking & tracing, information management as well as new ways to realise e-commerce within the chain as well as for consumers. The FIWARE initiative is accelerating startups and supporting SME type technology developers that are realising solutions for real world business cases, which are serving as reference customers and test cases to assure an end-user acceptance and valid business models. This paper discusses the main food chain related topics and innovation potentials that are addressed as well as outlining the related methodological and technological approaches that are used to facilitate the realisation of impact and growth for commercial exploitation.
Exact solutions of Dirac and Schrodinger equations for a large class of power-law potentials at zero energy

Year: 2001

description: We obtain exact solutions of Dirac equation at zero kinetic energy for radial power-law relativistic potentials. It turns out that these are the relativistic extension of a subclass of exact solutions of Schrodinger equation with two-term power-law potentials at zero energy. The latter is solved by point canonical transformation of the exactly solvable problem of the three dimensional oscillator. The wavefunction solutions are written in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions and almost always square integrable. For most cases these solutions support bound states at zero energy. Some exceptional unbounded states are normalizable for non-zero angular momentum. Using a generalized definition, degeneracy of the nonrelativistic states is demonstrated and the associated degenerate observable is defined.
description: Section IV was added to comment on an interesting paper by C M Bender and Q Wang [J. Phys. A 34, 9835 (2001)], which appeared after our article was submitted for publication to the Physical Review A. It addresses a problem that relates closely to our nonrelativistic case.

description: Measurements of intensity and polarization of diffuse Galactic synchrotron emission as well as starlight polarization reveal power law spectra of fluctuations. We show that these fluctuations can arise from magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in the Galactic disk and halo. To do so we take into account the converging geometry of lines of sight for the observations when the observer is within the turbulent volume. Assuming that the intensity of turbulence changes along the line of sight, we get a reasonable fit to the observed synchrotron data. As for the spectra of polarized starlight we get a good fit to the observations taking into account the fact that the observational sample is biased toward nearby stars.

description: We present maps of the dust properties in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC, LMC) from fitting Spitzer and Herschel observations with the \citet{DL07} dust model. We derive the abundance of the small carbonaceous grain (or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon; PAH) component. The global PAH fraction (q_pah, the fraction of the dust mass in the form of PAHs) is smaller in the SMC (1.0$^{+0.3}_{-0.3}$%) than in the LMC (3.3$^{+1.4}_{-1.3}$%). We measure the PAH fraction in different gas phases (H II regions, ionized gas outside of H II regions, molecular gas, and diffuse neutral gas). H II regions appear as distinctive holes in the spatial distribution of the PAH fraction. In both galaxies, the PAH fraction in the diffuse neutral medium is higher than in the ionized gas, but similar to the molecular gas. Even at equal radiation field intensity, the PAH fraction is lower in the ionized gas than in the diffuse neutral gas. We investigate the PAH life-cycle as a function of metallicity between the two galaxies. The PAH fraction in the diffuse neutral medium of the LMC is similar to that of the Milky Way ($\sim4.6$%), while it is significantly lower in the SMC. Plausible explanations for the higher PAH fraction in the diffuse neutral medium of the LMC compared to the SMC include: a more effective PAH production by fragmentation of large grains at higher metallicity, and/or the growth of PAHs in molecular gas.

description: The aim adopted in the paper is to review methods for assessing the efficiency of supply chains and to carry out their critical evaluation. Literature studies, interviews, analysis of processes in the chains are used for analyzing of interdependence between the individual stages of supply chain and identifying the efficiency of entire supply chain. An important aspect is to determine the possibility of assessing the efficiency of supply chains in selected sectors of agribusiness by using approaches presented in the paper. Within the analyzed methods, the stochastic frontier approach can be an useful tool for estimating the efficiency on the firm level. However, the efficiency scores obtained from estimation of the stochastic frontier have a little use for policy implications and management purposes if the empirical studies do not investigate the sources of the inefficiency. Thus, it is recommended to include into the models external factors like, for instance, the degree of competitive pressure, the ownership form, various managerial characteristics, network characteristics and production quality indicators of inputs or outputs.

Equations for microscopic phase densities are deduced resulting in the Fokker-Planck equation for the dust component. It is shown that although there is no stationary distribution, the translational and rotational temperatures of dust tend to certain values, which differ from the temperature of the ambient gas. The influence of the inner structure of grains on rotational kinetics is also discussed.

To this aim, I study the stochastic force distribution using N-body realizations of Plummer's spherically symmetric models. I find that the stochastic force distribution obtained for the evolved system is in good agreement with Kandrup's (1980) theory of stochastic force in inhomogeneous systems. Correlation effects that arise during the evolution of the system of particles are well described by Antonuccio-Delogu & Atrio-Barandela's (1992) theory.

description: We study the effect of non-radial motions on the mass function, the VDF and on the shape of clusters of galaxies using the model introduced in Del Popolo & Gambera (1998a,b; 1999). The mass function of clusters, obtained using the quoted model, is compared with the statistical data by Bahcall & Cen (1992) and Girardi et al. (1998), while the VDF is compared with the CfA data by Zabludoff et al. (1993) for local clusters. In both cases the model predictions are in good agreement with the observational data showing once more how non-radial motions can reduce many of the discrepancies between CDM model predictions and observational data. Besides we study the effect of non-radial motions on the intrinsic shape of clusters of galaxies showing that non-radial motions produce clusters less elongated with respect to CDM model.

Scattering of Cosmic Rays by Magnetohydrodynamic Interstellar Turbulence

Year: 2002

description: Recent advances in understanding of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence call for substantial revisions in our understanding of cosmic ray transport. In this paper we use gyroresonance recently obtained scaling laws for MHD modes to calculate the scattering frequency for cosmic rays in the ISM. We consider gyroresonance with MHD modes (Alfvenic, slow and fast) and transit-time damping (TTD) by fast modes. We conclude that the gyroresonance with fast modes is the dominant contribution to cosmic ray scattering for the typical interstellar conditions. In contrast to earlier studies, we find that Alfvenic and slow modes are inefficient because they are far from isotropy usually assumed.

description: We have successfully grown sizable single crystals of La_2Cu_{1-z}(Zn,Mg)_zO_4 with up to nearly half of the magnetic Cu sites replaced by non-magnetic Zn and Mg. Neutron scattering, SQUID magnetometry, and complementary quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations demonstrate that this material is an excellent model system for the study of site percolation of the square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet (SLHAF) in the quantum-spin limit S=1/2. Carefully oxygen-reduced samples exhibit Neel order up to the percolation threshold for site dilution, z_p ~ 40.7%. Up to at least z = 35%, the Neel temperature T_N(z) of the experimental system corresponds to the temperature at which QMC indicates that the spin correlations for the nearest-neighbor S=1/2 SLHAF have grown to approximately 100 lattice constants. Neutron scattering measurements of the static structure factor in the paramagnetic regime allow the determination of the two-dimensional spin correlations, which are found to be in excellent quantitative agreement with QMC over a wide common temperature and doping range. Neutron scattering and QMC results for the temperature dependence of the static structure factor amplitude S(π,π) are in good agreement as well. The combined experimental and numerical data presented here provide valuable quantitative information for tests of theories of the randomly-diluted S=1/2 SLHAF.

description: Polyurea, a controlled release material, has been widely applied in agricultural fields due to high thermal stability and low cost. In this article oxyfluorfen polyurea microcapsules suspension was successfully prepared by interfacial polymerization using diisocyanate and polyamines such as Ethylenediamine, Hexamethylenediamine, Diethylenetriamine in presence of green solvent, i.e., N,N-dimethyldecanamide. The microcapsule suspension of oxyfluorfen has not been researched yet by using solvent N,N-dimethyldecanamide and polyamines. The effect and the type of diamines on the morphology and properties of the microcapsules have been investigated. The synthesized microcapsules were characterized by scanning electron microscope, ultraviolet spectrometry, Fourier transform iInfrared spectrometer, thermogravimetric analysis and particle size analyser. The effect of the core to shell ratio on encapsulation efficiency and release kinetics were also studied. The oxyfluorfen microcapsules had an excellent encapsulation efficiency (98.2%) using EDA as the monomer and Release kinetics depended upon the type of monomers used and also on core to shell ratio used (6.5:1, 5:1, 4:1). As core to shell ratio was increased the encapsulation efficiency was found to decrease. Prepared Microcapsules when sprayed on paddy crop was found to be safe in comparison with Emulsifiable concentrate sample.

description: A pyrochlore lattice is considered where the average electron number of electrons per site is half--integer, concentrating on the case of exactly half an electron per site. Strong on-site repulsions are assumed, so that all sites are either empty or singly occupied. Where there are in addition strong nearest--neighbour repulsions, a tetrahedron rule comes into effect, as previously suggested for magnetite. We show that in this case, there exist excitations with fractional charge (+/-) e/2. These are intimately connected with the high degeneracy of the ground state in the absence of kinetic energy terms. When an additional electron is inserted into the system, it decays into two point like excitations with charge -e/2, connected by a Heisenberg spin chain which carries the electron's spin.

description: The evolution equations mentioned in the title of this paper read as follows: x~n = P(n)(x1; x2) , n = 1, 2 , where l is the "discrete-time" independent variable taking integer values (l =0, 1, 2, ...), xn = xn (l) are the 2 dependent variables, x~n = xn (l + 1), and the 2 functions P(n)(x1, x2), n = 1, 2, are 2 polynomials in the 2 dependent variables x1 (l) and x2 (l). The results reported in this paper have been obtained by an appropriate modification of a recently introduced technique to obtain analogous results in continuous-time t in which case xn = xn (t) and the above recursion relations are replaced by first-order ODEs. Their potential interest is due to the relevance of this kind of evolution equations in various applicative contexts.

description: The energy dependent thermoelectric response of a single molecule contains valuable information about its transmission function and its excited states. However, measuring it requires devices that can efficiently heat up one side of the molecule while being able to tune its electrochemical potential over a wide energy range. Furthermore, to increase junction stability devices need to operate at cryogenic temperatures. In this work we report on a new device architecture to study the thermoelectric properties and the conductance of single molecules simultaneously over a wide energy range. We employ a sample heater in direct contact with the metallic electrodes contacting the single molecule which allows us to apply temperature biases up to $ΔT = 60$K with minimal heating of the molecular junction. This makes these devices compatible with base temperatures $T_\mathrm{bath} <2$K and enables studies in the linear ($ΔT \ll T_\mathrm{molecule}$) and non-linear ($ΔT \gg T_\mathrm{molecule}$) thermoelectric transport regimes.

description: Even though the KdV and modified KdV equations are nonlinear, we show that suitable linear combinations of known periodic solutions involving Jacobi elliptic functions yield a large class of additional solutions. This procedure works by virtue of some remarkable new identities satisfied by the elliptic functions.

description: A new series of polyurea derivatives and its nanocomposites were synthesised by the solution polycondensation method through the interaction between 4(2-aminothiazol-4-ylbenzylidene)-4-(tert-butyl) cyclohexanone and diisocyanate compound in pyridine. The PU1–3 structure was conﬁrmed using Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and characterised by solubility, viscometry, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. In addition, PU1–3 was evaluated by TGA. Polyurea–TiO2nanocomposites were synthesised using the same technique as that of PU1–3 by adding TiO2 as a nanofiller. The thermal properties of PU2TiO2a–d were evaluated by TGA. Moreover, the morphological properties of a selected sample were examined by SEM and TEM. In addition, PU1–3 and PU2TiO2a–d were examined for antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria and fungi. The PU1–3 showed antibacterial activity against some of the tested bacteria and fungi, as did PU2TiO2a–d, which increased with the increase in TiO2 content. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were displayed against all PU1–3 derivatives against two types of proteins. The results show that the increase in the strength of π–H interactions and H-donors contributed to improved binding of PU2 compared to PU1 andPU3. The docking of 1KZN against the tested polymers suggests an increase in the docking score of PU2, then PU1, and PU3, which is in agreement with the antibacterial study.

description: In this paper we argue that when a subgroup of countries cooperate on emission reduction, the optimal response of non-signatory countries reflects the interaction between three potentially opposing factors, the incentive to free-ride on the benefits of cooperation, the incentive to expand the demand of fossil fuels, and the incentive to adopt cleaner technologies introduced by the coalition. Using an Integrated Assessment Model with a game theoretic structure we find that cost-benefit considerations would lead OECD countries to undertake a moderate, but increasing abatement effort (in line with the pledges subscribed in Copenhagen). Even if emission reductions are moderate, OECD countries find it optimal to allocate part of their resources to energy R&D and investments in cleaner technologies. International spillovers of knowledge and technology diffusion then lead to the deployment of these technologies in non-signatory countries as well, reducing their emissions. When the OECD group follows more ambitious targets, such as 2050 emissions that are 50% below 2005 levels, the benefits of technology externalities do not compensate the incentives deriving from the lower fossil fuels prices. This suggests that, when choosing their unilateral climate objective, cooperating countries should take into account the possibility to induce a virtuous behaviour in non-signatory countries. By looking at a two-phase negotiation set-up, we find that free-riding incentives spurred by more ambitious targets can be mitigated by means of credible commitments for developing countries in the second phase, as they would reduce lock-in in carbon intensive technologies.
