description: Improving the supply efficiency of rural public service is an important way to solve the severe shortage of rural public service. In this article, we use three-stage DEA model to carry out empirical research of the supply efficiency of rural public service in 31 provinces and regions of China. The results show that if without control over exogenous environment variables and random brunt, the classic DEA method will overestimate the rural public service efficiency; after controlling the impact of the external environmental factors, the mean of supply efficiency of rural public service in 31 provinces and regions of China is 0.697; the improved rural per capita income, population density, population size and the educational level of residents, is a significantly favorable factor for enhancing the supply efficiency of rural public service, while the increase in the proportion of fiscal spending on rural public service to GDP plays no significant role in improving the rural public service efficiency; according to their efficiency type, the provinces and regions should adopt some measures, such as improving the management level or expanding the supply scale, to improve the supply efficiency.

description: We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics following a temperature-jump in a model for a strong liquid, BKS-silica, and compare it with the well known case of fragile liquids. We calculate the fluctuation-dissipation relation, from which it is possible to estimate an effective temperature $T_{eff}$ associated to the slow out-of-equilibrium structural degrees of freedom. We find the striking and unexplained result that, differently from the fragile liquid cases, $T_{eff}$ is smaller than the bath temperature.

description: Based on the characteristics of urban-rural dual economic structure in China, we build a dynamic endogenous urban-rural dual economic model closely linked to China's reality, and carry out mathematical economics analysis of optimized conditions for urban and rural sectors. The main results show that: (i) The labor growth rate of urban-rural sectors must be greater than the time discount rate, or else there would be a vicious cycle of diminishing returns in the sectors; (ii) The accumulation rate of physical capital and human capital of urban-rural sectors, and the rate of technological progress, need to be greater than the corresponding depreciation rate plus the time discount rate, otherwise there would be a vicious cycle of diminishing returns in the sectors; (iii) The low accumulation rate in the rural sector, and the occurrence of labor outflow, human capital loss and lack of investment, will expand income gap between urban and rural areas, which is a reason for solidification of urban-rural dual economic structure.

description: We discuss the critical point $x_c$ separating the quantum entangled and separable states in two series of N spins S in the simple mixed state characterized by the matrix operator $ρ=x|\tildeϕ>$ is a special entangled state. The cases x=0 and x=1 correspond respectively to fully random spins and to a fully entangled state. In the first of these series we consider special states $|\tildeϕ>$ invariant under charge conjugation, that generalizes the N=2 spin S=1/2 Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state, and in the second one we consider generalizations of the Weber density matrices. The evaluation of the critical point $x_c$ was done through bounds coming from the partial transposition method of Peres and the conditional nonextensive entropy criterion. Our results suggest the conjecture that whenever the bounds coming from both methods coincide the result of $x_c$ is the exact one. The results we present are relevant for the discussion of quantum computing, teleportation and cryptography.

description: The South African Agricultural sector is dualistic nature, comprised of large scale commercial farmers (mostly white) on one hand and on the other smallholder farming mainly practiced by black rural households in the former homelands. The smallholder farming, however is not homogeneous. Mostly a distinction is made between subsistence orientated smallholders and fully commercial orientated smallholders. Lately a middle class of smallholders falling in between these two groups has been a subject of much academic study and a large concern of smallholder policies in the last two decades. However there is no consensus on the criteria of describing these emerging farmers-various authors use different methods without giving sufficient details of who these emerging farmers are. This could have adverse effects and can potentially jeopardize success of development initiatives intended for this group of farmers. This article seeks to contribute towards a common understanding of the term 'emerging farmer' hence the group of farmers it represents by identifying various measures used to describe these farmers and apply to a data set from a survey of 379 smallholders from the former homelands of the Eastern Cape. Finally, the paper suggest a criteria based on the argument of the identified measures. Key words: Emerging farmer, South Africa, Survey, Eastern Cape.

description: We present the results from Nordic Optical Telescope and X-shooter follow-up campaigns of the tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF16fnl, covering the first $\sim$100 days after the transient discovery. We followed the source photometrically until the TDE emission was no longer detected above the host galaxy light. The bolometric luminosity evolution of the TDE is consistent with an exponential decay with e-folding constant t$_{0}$=17.6$\pm$0.2 days. The early time spectra of the transient are dominated by broad He II $λ$4686, H$β$, H$α$ and N III $λ$4100 emission lines. The latter is known to be produced together with the N III $λ$4640 in the Bowen fluorescence mechanism. Thanks to the medium resolution X-shooter spectra we have been able to separate the Bowen blend contribution from the broad He II emission line. The detection of the Bowen fluorescence lines in iPTF16fnl place this transient among the N-rich TDE subset. In the late-time X-shooter spectra, narrow emission lines of [O III] and [N II] originating from the host galaxy are detected, suggesting that the host galaxy harbours a weak AGN in its core. The properties of all broad emission lines evolve with time. The equivalent widths follow an exponential decay compatible with the bolometric luminosity evolution. The full-width a half maximum of the broad lines decline with time and the line profiles develop a narrow core at later epochs. Overall, the optical emission of iPTF16fnl can be explained by being produced in an optically thick region in which high densities favour the Bowen fluorescence mechanism and where multiple electron scatterings are responsible for the line broadening.

description: Triggered by a recent paper by Thomas, Hicks and Hosaka, we investigate which observables can be used to determine the parity of the $Θ^+$ from the reaction $\vec p\vec p \to Σ^+Θ^+$ near its production threshold. In particular, we show that the sign of the spin correlation coefficient $A_{xx}$ for small excess energies yields the negative of the parity of the $Θ^+$. The argument relies solely on the Pauli principle and parity conservation and is therefore model--independent.

description: In the paper we introduce the notions of a singular fibration and a singular Seifert fibration. These notions are natural generalizations of the notion of a locally trivial fibration to the category of stratified pseudomanifolds. For singular foliations defined by such fibrations we prove a de Rham type theorem for the basic intersection cohomology introduced the authors in a recent paper. One of important examples of such a structure is the natural projection onto the leaf space for the singular Riemannian foliation defined by an action of a compact Lie group on a compact smooth manifold.

description: A statistically optimal inference about market agents' ex ante price expectations within the U.S. broiler market is derived using futures prices of related commodities in conjunction with a quasi-rational forecasting regression equation. Specifically, the relationship between the variances and covariances among broiler cash prices, and spot futures prices of related commodities are exploited. The relationship between movements in the relevant cash price series and movements in related futures prices allows us to decompose changes in the expected cash price series into anticipated and unanticipated components. This modeling approach follows closely the work of Hamilton (1992), and allows us to determine the relative importance of various informational sources in the formation of broiler price expectations. The modeling framework is extended beyond that considered by Hamilton in that production is added to the model. As such, this is the first known attempt to endogenize supply response using futures prices within a quasi-rational expectations framework. Both the true supply shock and ex post broiler price forecast errors were found to have a small but significant influence on ex ante price expectations. The quasi-rational forecasting regression, however, captured most of agents' ex ante price expectations over the sample period.

description: Utilizing spin or valley degree of freedom is one of the promising approaches to realize more energy-efficient information processing. In the 2D transition metal dichalcogenide, the spin/valley current can be generated by utilizing the circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE), i.e., the generation of photocurrent by a circularly polarized light. Here we show that an in-plane electric field at MoS2/WSe2 heterostructure-electrode boundary results in an electrically tunable circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) under optical excitation with normal incidence. The observed CPGE can be explained by the valence band shift due to the in-plane electric field and different effective relaxation times between hole and electron combined with the valley optical selection rule. Furthermore, we show that the CPGE can be controlled by changing the Fermi level using an out-of-plane electric field. Such phenomena persist even at room temperature. This finding may facilitate the utilization of 2D heterostructure as an opto-valleytronics and opto-spintronics device platform.

description: We study a physical model for the interaction between general inclusions bound to fluid membranes that possess finite tension, as well as the usual bending rigidity. We are motivated by an interest in proteins bound to cell membranes that apply forces to these membranes, due to either entropic or direct chemical interactions. We find an exact analytic solution for the repulsive interaction between two similar circularly symmetric inclusions. This repulsion extends over length scales of order tens of nanometers, and contrasts with the membrane-mediated contact attraction for similar inclusions on tensionless membranes. For non circularly symmetric inclusions we study the small, algebraically long-ranged, attractive contribution to the force that arises. We discuss the relevance of our results to biological phenomena, such as the budding of caveolae from cell membranes and the striations that are observed on their coats.

description: Background:Diverse tacrolimus population pharmacokinetic models in adult liver transplant recipients have been established to describe the PK characteristics of tacrolimus in the last two decades. However, their extrapolated predictive performance remains unclear.Therefore,in this study,we aimed to evaluate their external predictability and identify their potential influencing factors. Methods:The external predictability of each selected popPK model was evaluated using an independent dataset of 84 patients with 572 trough concentrations prospectively collected from Huashan Hospital. Prediction and simulation based diagnostics and Bayesian forecasting were conducted to evaluate model predictability. Furthermore, the effect of model structure on the predictive performance was investigated.Results:Sixteen published popPK models were assessed. In prediction-based diagnostics,the prediction error within 30% was below 50% in all the published models. The simulation based normalised prediction distribution error test and visual predictive check indicated large discrepancies between the observations and simulations in most of the models. Bayesian forecasting showed improvement in model predictability with two to three prior observations. Additionally, the predictive performance of the nonlinear Michaelis Menten model was superior to that of linear compartment models,indicating the underlying nonlinear kinetics of tacrolimus in liver transplant recipients.Conclusions:The published models performed inadequately in prediction and simulation based diagnostics. Bayesian forecasting may improve the predictive performance of the models. Furthermore, nonlinear kinetics of tacrolimus may be mainly caused by the properties of the drug itself, and incorporating nonlinear kinetics may be considered to improve model predictability.

The model is motivated first by the problem of finding lowest energy configurations for a disordered spin system on a fixed-valence graph. The numerical results for the spin system exhibit the same phenomena found in all earlier studies of extremal optimization, and our analytical results for the model reproduce many of these features.

description: The paper seeks to answer the question of the degree to which hospital management uses social media to communicate with stakeholders. The work looked into websites and social media activity of 288 hospitals in Poland during the COVID19 pandemic from 15.01.2021 to 22.02.2021 using web scraping. The data were analysed with unidimensional and twodimensional statistical analyses. The author investigated the correlation between the Google rating of each hospital, the number of personnel, level of hospital care, and their activity in social media.The research demonstrated that quality parameters of Polish hospitals' websites measured with Google PageSpeed Insights vary significantly and are not related to the hospital's size as the number of employees or its type (hospital care level).Similarly, no correlation was demonstrated between the mean Google rating concerning the service quality in a hospital and its size. The activity in social media depends on the commitment of social media teams in each health service institution. The paper offers several positive examples of social media use (Facebook posts) by hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. About 38% of the hospitals had Facebook pages. The mean activity on hospitals' Facebook pages in the last three months was 0.45 posts per day. The research concludes that the number of hospitals exhibiting greater social media activity is increasing. The process started in 2011 and continues today. Hospitals' social media activity can be expected to rise further regardless of the size and care level of the institutions. The paper presents original and relevant research. It can help both theoreticians and practitioners of healthcare management and social media public relations.

description: We study a physical model for the formation of bud-like invaginations on fluid membranes under tension, and apply this model to caveolae formation. We demonstrate that budding can be driven by membrane-bound inclusions (proteins) provided that they exert asymmetric forces on the membrane that give rise to bending moments. In particular, Caveolae formation may not necessarily require forces to be applied by the cytoskeleton. Our theoretical model is able to explain several features observed experimentally in caveolae, where proteins in the caveolin family are known to play a crucial role in the formation of caveolae buds. These include (i) the formation of caveolae buds with sizes in the 100nm range (ii) that a fairly large variation of bud shape is expected (iii) that certain N and C termini deletion mutants result in vesicles that are an order of magnitude larger. Finally, we discuss the possible origin of the morphological striations that are observed on the surfaces of the caveolae.

Energy transition challenges

description: While energy system models are important tools supporting decision- and policymakers, they are often monolithic, and, therefore, not particularly versatile and not able to address all types of problems related to the energy transition. Although models have become more complex, it does not necessarily mean that they are better suited to answer the questions asked, and address the challenges faced by decision- and policymakers. To overcome the challenges and limitations of current modelling approaches within the SENTINEL project, we will apply and validate different updated models of the SENTINEL modelling suite in three case studies of different spatial scales. In this deliverable, we aim to (i). identify and specify policy-relevant scenarios, along with the respective energy targets, and qualitative narratives to base modelling simulations on, and (ii). identify contextual critical issues and challenges in energy system planning, and specific research questions, to which the SENTINEL models will attempt to provide answers, accounting for particularities of diverse spatial scales. The main research questions of our work are: “What scenarios should we apply in each of the SENTINEL case studies?” and “What are the main challenges and research questions by decision- and policymakers that the SENTINEL models should be able to answer?” The specifications for scenarios, narratives, and the extended list of research questions of this deliverable will inform further work within the SENTINEL project. More specifically, SENTINEL modellers will set up their models by using the scenarios and assumptions for the three case studies and will conduct model-based analysis attempting to provide answers to the comprehensive list of research questions identified in this report.

description: In the present paper we carry out a systematic study about the flow of a spherical curve by the mean curvature flow with density in a 3-dimensional rotationally symmetric space with density $(M^3_w,\:g_w,\:ξ)$ where the density $ξ$ decomposes as sum of a radial part $φ$ and an angular part $ψ$. We analyse how either the parabolicity or the hyperbolicity of $(M^3_w,\:g_w)$ condition the behaviour of the flow when the solution goes to infinity.

description: Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming industries, but its effectiveness depends on access to timely and relevant data. This paper examines the critical role of real-time data pipelines in powering GenAI applications, synthesizing existing literature across key areas, including data integration, streaming platforms, vector databases, and architectural patterns. We explore the challenges and opportunities in building scalable, high-performance pipelines, emphasizing data freshness, accuracy, and efficient processing.The intersection of GenAI and big data infrastructure has introduced novel data management techniques, such as data streaming, integration, and vector databases, which are crucial for optimizing AI-driven decision-making. This paper reviews these techniques, their applications, and the evolving role of data pipelines in real-time AI deployment.A key focus is the integration of data streaming platforms with GenAI, enabling real-time processing and enhancing AI applications. We analyze the state-of-the-art in Apache Kafka, vector databases, and cloud-based solutions, addressing critical challenges such as scalability, data consistency, and integration complexity. Furthermore, we explore future directions, including the use of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and real-time data pipelines to unlock GenAI’s full potential.This review synthesizes insights from recent research, industry practices, and emerging trends to provide a comprehensive understanding of real-time data infrastructure for GenAI.

description: Long range interactions are relevant for a wide range of phenomena in physics where they often present a challenge to theory. In condensed matter, the interplay of Coulomb interaction and disorder remains largely an unsolved problem. In two dimensional films the long-range part of the Coulomb interaction may be screened by a nearby metallic overlay. This technique is employed in this work to present experimental evidence for its effectiveness in limiting the spatial range of the Coulomb interaction. We use this approach to study the effects of the long-range Coulomb interaction on the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of electron-glasses using amorphous indium-oxide films. The results demonstrate that electronic relaxation times, extending over thousands of seconds, do not hinge on the long-range Coulomb interaction nor on the presence of a real gap in the density of states. Rather, they emphasize the dominant role played by disorder in controlling the slow thermalization processes of Anderson insulators taken far from equilibrium.

description: The paper seeks to answer the question of the degree to which hospital management uses social media to communicate with stakeholders. The work looked into websites and social media activity of 288 hospitals in Poland during the COVID19 pandemic from 15.01.2021 to 22.02.2021 using web scraping. The data were analysed with unidimensional and twodimensional statistical analyses. The author investigated the correlation between the Google rating of each hospital, the number of personnel, level of hospital care, and their activity in social media.The research demonstrated that quality parameters of Polish hospitals' websites measured with Google PageSpeed Insights vary significantly and are not related to the hospital's size as the number of employees or its type (hospital care level).Similarly, no correlation was demonstrated between the mean Google rating concerning the service quality in a hospital and its size. The activity in social media depends on the commitment of social media teams in each health service institution. The paper offers several positive examples of social media use (Facebook posts) by hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. About 38% of the hospitals had Facebook pages. The mean activity on hospitals' Facebook pages in the last three months was 0.45 posts per day. The research concludes that the number of hospitals exhibiting greater social media activity is increasing. The process started in 2011 and continues today. Hospitals' social media activity can be expected to rise further regardless of the size and care level of the institutions. The paper presents original and relevant research. It can help both theoreticians and practitioners of healthcare management and social media public relations.

description: Performing homodyne detection at one port of squeezed-state light interferometer and then binarzing measurement data are important to achieve super-resolving and super-sensitive phase measurements. Here we propose a new data-processing technique by dividing the measurement quadrature into three bins (equivalent to a multi-outcome measurement), which leads to a higher improvement in the phase resolution and the phase sensitivity under realistic experimental condition. Furthermore, we develop a new phase-estimation protocol based on a combination of the inversion estimators of each outcome and show that the estimator can saturate the Cramer-Rao lower bound, similar to asymptotically unbiased maximum likelihood estimator.

A Probabilistic Case For A Large Missing Carbon Sink On Mars After 3.5 Billion Years Ago

description: Mars has a thin (6 mbar) CO2 atmosphere currently. There is strong evidence for paleolakes and rivers formed by warm climates on Mars, including after 3.5 billion years (Ga) ago, which indicates that a CO2 atmosphere thick enough to permit a warm climate was present at these times. Since Mars no longer has a thick CO2 atmosphere, it must have been lost. One possibility is that Martian CO2 was lost to space. Oxygen escape rates from Mars are high enough to account for loss of a thick CO2 atmosphere, if CO2 was the main source of escaping O. But here, using H isotope ratios, O escape calculations, and quantification of the surface O sinks on Mars, we show for the first time that O escape from Mars after 3.5 Ga must have been predominantly associated with the loss of H2O, not CO2, and therefore it is unlikely that >250 mbar Martian CO2 has been lost to space in the last 3.5 Ga, because such results require highly unfavored O loss scenarios. It is possible that the presence of young rivers and lakes on Mars could be reconciled with limited CO2 loss to space if crater chronologies on Mars are sufficiently incorrect that all apparently young rivers and lakes are actually older than 3.5 Ga, or if climate solutions exist for sustained runoff on Mars with atmospheric CO2 pressure <250 mbar. However, our preferred solution to reconcile the presence of <3.5 Gya rivers and lakes on Mars with the limited potential for CO2 loss to space is a large, as yet undiscovered, geological C sink on Mars.
