description: In the framework of the 5D low-energy effective field theory of the heterotic string with no vector fields excited, we combine two non-linear methods in order to construct a solitonic field configuration. We first apply the inverse scattering method on a trivial vacuum solution and obtain an stationary axisymmetric two-soliton configuration consisting of a massless gravitational field coupled to a non-trivial chargeless dilaton and to an axion field endowed with charge. The implementation of this method was done following a scheme previously proposed by Yurova. We also show that within this scheme, is not possible to get massive gravitational solitons at all. We then apply a non-linear Lie-Backlund matrix transformation of Ehlers type on this massless solution and get a massive rotating axisymmetric gravitational soliton coupled to axion and dilaton fields endowed with charges. We study as well some physical properties of the constructed massless and massive solitons and discuss on the effect of the generalized solution generating technique on the seed solution and its further generalizations.

description: It is recently shown that in 4D $SU(N)$ Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) type models, the $SU(N)$ symmetry breaking into its special subgroups is not special but much more common than that into the regular subgroups, where the fermions belong to complex representations of $SU(N)$. We perform the same analysis for $SO(N)$ NJL model for various $N$ with fermions belonging to an irreducible spinor representation of $SO(N)$. We find that the symmetry breaking into special or regular subgroups has some correlation with the type of fermion representations; i.e., complex, real, pseudo-real representations.

description: A localized free particle is represented by a wave packet and its motion is discussed in most quantum mechanics textbooks. Implicit in these discussions is the assumption of zero temperature. We discuss how the effects of finite temperature and squeezing can be incorporated in an elementary manner. The results show how the introduction of simple tools and ideas can bring the reader into contact with topics at the frontiers of research in quantum mechanics. We discuss the standard quantum limit, which is of interest in the measurement of small forces, and decoherence of a mixed (``Schrodinger cat'') state, which has implications for current research in quantum computation, entanglement, and the quantum-classical interface.

description: When a virus infects a cell, it must hijack that host cell’s inner machinery, normally used to manufacture necessary molecules for the host cell, and divert that machinery to producing new viruses. Previous research has indicated that arginine, an amino acid, plays an important role in viral infection. We investigated the role arginine plays in infection in two ways. First, we compared how well bacteriophage, a type of bacteria-infecting virus, replicated in normal (parent) E. coli and genetically modified E. coli that could not produce their own arginine. These genetically modified E. coli are called a knock-out strain because the gene for a particular protein, in this case an enzyme involved in producing arginine, is removed. The gene in question is called argH and thus the knock-out strain is named ΔargH. Here we found that when arginine was available from outside the cell, there was no significant difference between bacteriophage replication in the two E. coli strains. Second, we observed how the levels of certain small molecules (metabolites), including arginine, inside a human cell changed after it was infected with the Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV). We found that HCMV infected cells had altered levels of metabolites from throughout the arginine biosynthesis pathway, including increased levels of arginine.

We study this symmetry for some standard models of nonequilibrium steady states. We give a general strategy to derive a 'local' fluctuation theorem exploiting the Gibbsian features of the stationary space-time distribution. This is applied to spin flip processes and to the asymmetric exclusion process.

To show the essence of this perturbation theory, we concentrate only on the universe filled with a single scalar field. Through this review, we point out the problems which should be clarified for the further theoretical sophistication of this perturbation theory. This review is an extension of the review paper [K.~Nakamura, "Second-Order Gauge-Invariant Cosmological Perturbation Theory: Current Status", Advances in Astronomy, vol.2010 (2010), 576273.]. We also expect that this theoretical sophistication will be also useful to discuss the future developments in cosmology as a precise science.

description: Dermal interstitial fluid (ISF) is a rich source of biomarkers (e.g., glucose) that can be used for continuous health monitoring with wearable sensors. Hollow microneedle devices are a promising solution to extract ISF on demand by penetrating the skin with minimal pain. However, they rely on inserting bio-incompatible materials (e.g., silicon) into individuals, limiting the application time. Here, the direct 3D printing of polymer hollow microneedles on silicon-based microfluidic devices and the successful in-vivo extraction of ISF are demonstrated. Our additive manufacturing approach enables the versatile combination of materials and rapid prototyping of microneedle geometry. After improving the design through finite element modeling, a hollow microneedle geometry was printed by two-photon polymerization and experimentally characterized with mechanical and fluidic tests. Microneedles were fabricated with high accuracy (i.e., 997 +/- 2 um) and reliably interfaced with the microfluidic chip (i.e., centerline alignment within 5% of diameter). The needles demonstrated sufficient mechanical strength (i.e., 411 +/- 3 mN per needle) to endure at least 10 consecutive insertions into simulated skin. Biocompatibility and ISF extraction were demonstrated in an in-vivo 72-hour test, showing the safety and reliability of our approach. Such a platform is promising for minimally invasive, continuous monitoring of biomarkers in ISF, aiding in medical diagnoses and personalized health treatments.

description: Binary distillation, a fundamental process in chemical engineering, involves the separation of a liquid or vapor mixture containing two substances into its component fractions of desired purity through the application and removal of heat. While the concept of distillation has ancient roots, its refinement into a systematic method for separation emerged in the 16th century when it was recognized that the process could be enhanced through multiple stages of vapor-liquid contacting. This advancement paved the way for the widespread adoption of multiple-stage distillation as the predominant industrial technique for liquid mixture separation in the 20th century. In this paper, we delve into the historical evolution of distillation, highlighting its transition from batch distillation, primarily used for producing alcoholic beverages, to the more efficient and versatile multiple-stage distillation method. By exploring the contributions of pioneers in distillation theory and practice, such as Lone and Rather (2015), we aim to elucidate the principles underlying binary distillation and its significance in modern chemical engineering processes. Through a comprehensive review of the literature and theoretical frameworks, we discuss the key factors influencing the efficiency and effectiveness of binary distillation, including stage design, heat exchange mechanisms, and thermodynamic considerations. Furthermore, we examine contemporary advancements in distillation technology, such as the integration of computational tools and optimization algorithms, which have revolutionized process design and operation. By synthesizing historical perspectives with current research trends, this paper provides insights into the evolution, principles, and applications of binary distillation, laying the groundwork for further advancements in separation science and engineering
Unitary $t$-designs from $relaxed$ seeds

description: The capacity to randomly pick a unitary across the whole unitary group is a powerful tool across physics and quantum information. A unitary $t$-design is designed to tackle this challenge in an efficient way, yet constructions to date rely on heavy constraints. In particular, they are composed of ensembles of unitaries which, for technical reasons, must contain inverses and whose entries are algebraic. In this work, we reduce the requirements for generating an $\varepsilon$-approximate unitary $t$-design. To do so, we first construct a specific $n$-qubit random quantum circuit composed of a sequence of, randomly chosen, 2-qubit gates, chosen from a set of unitaries which is approximately universal on $U(4)$, yet need not contain unitaries and their inverses, nor are in general composed of unitaries whose entries are algebraic; dubbed $relaxed$ seed. We then show that this relaxed seed, when used as a basis for our construction, gives rise to an $\varepsilon$-approximate unitary $t$-design efficiently, where the depth of our random circuit scales as $poly(n, t, log(1/\varepsilon))$, thereby overcoming the two requirements which limited previous constructions. We suspect the result found here is not optimal, and can be improved. Particularly because the number of gates in the relaxed seeds introduced here grows with $n$ and $t$. We conjecture that constant sized seeds such as those in ( Brandão, Harrow, and Horodecki; Commun. Math. Phys. (2016) 346: 397) are sufficient.

description: In this paper, we propose a novel algebraic and geometric description for the dissipative dynamics. Our formulation bears some similarity to the Poisson structure for non-dissipative systems. We develop a canonical description for constrained dissipative systems through an extension of the Dirac brackets concept, and we present a new formula for calculating Dirac brackets. This formula is particularly useful in the description of dynamical systems with many second-class constraints. After presenting the necessary formal background we illustrate our method on several examples taken from particle dynamics, continuum media physics and wave mechanics.

description: The article presents the results of the development and testing of the program of family psychocorrection of adolescent girls with alimentary obesity. The following targets were identified: pathologizing type of family edu-cation, a high level of general family anxiety and maladaptive family strategies for coping with psyhotraumatic situations. The psychocorrection program consists of three blocks and includes work both with families in general and with family subsystems. Psychodiagnostic and follow-up methods revealed a harmonization of the style of family education, a decrease in the level of anxiety at the systemic family and at the personal level, a decrease in dysfunctional strategies for coping with stress 1 month and 3 months after the psychocorrectional program. The obtained data necessitate the introduction of a family psychocorrection program into the system of complex treat-ment of adolescent girls with alimentary obesity.

description: The deep-sea includes over 90% of the world oceans and is thought to be one of the most diverse ecosystems in the World. It supplies society with valuable ecosystem services, including the provision of food, the regeneration of nutrients and the sequestration of carbon. Technological advancements in the second half of the 20th century made large-scale exploitation of mineral-, hydrocarbon- and fish resources possible. These economic activities, combined with climate change impacts, constitute a considerable threat to deep-sea biodiversity. Many governments, including that of the UK, have therefore decided to implement additional protected areas in their waters of national jurisdiction. To support the decision process and to improve our understanding for the acceptance of marine conservation plans across the general public, a choice experiment survey asked Scottish households for their willingness-to-pay for additional marine protected areas in the Scottish deep-sea. This study is one of the first to use valuation methodologies to investigate public preferences for the protection of deep-sea ecosystems. The experiment focused on the elicitation of economic values for two aspects of marine biodiversity: (i) the existence value for deep-sea species and (ii) the option-use value of deep-sea organisms as a source for future medicinal products.

description: Planned changes to the European Union’s Bathing Waters Directive (2006/7 EC) will force member states to produce improvements in a number of parameters of coastal water quality. This study uses the choice experiment method to estimate the economic benefits attached to such improvements, based on a sample of recreationalists on beaches in Ireland. The analysis indicates that improvements in all of the bathing water related attributes studied result in positive willingness to pay, and also show evidence of scope effects. Using random parameters and latent class modelling techniques, potential heterogeneity in preferences is then investigated and shown to be present to a significant degree. One observable determinant of this preference heterogeneity is the degree of exposure of individuals to health risks relating to water quality, as proxied by the type of recreational activity they undertake.

description: Agricultural sector, from past to present, had assumed very important duties on economic and social development of societies. It became a globally indispensable and strategic sector due to its various attributes such as: direct/indirect contributions to population nourishment, national income, employment, capital transfers, raw material supply for industry, exportation, biological diversity and ecological balance. Since the dawn of humankind, agricultural sector had gone through a variety of phases in terms of production activities and land proprietorship. Agricultural activities that emerged in the period of hunter-gatherer societies have been superseded by today’s specialized and planned agricultural enterprises utilizing information and technology. Agricultural accounting has also experienced a significant change in parallel with those improvements. This study aims to investigate historical development of agricultural accounting and difficulties encountered during its implementation. Research studies indicate that agricultural assets were initially recorded and inventory controls were performed by Sumerians. Until the Middle Ages, agricultural accounting did not experience any development, whereas it still encounters various difficulties even today. In this context, agricultural accounting practices could not be realized as intended.

description: Emulating various facets of computing principles of the brain can potentially lead to the development of neuro-computers that are able to exhibit brain-like cognitive capabilities. In this letter, we propose a magnetoelectronic neuron that utilizes noise as a computing resource and is able to encode information over time through the independent control of external voltage signals. We extensively characterize the device operation using simulations and demonstrate its suitability for neuromorphic computing platforms performing temporal information encoding.
Checking $2 \times M$ separability via semidefinite programming

description: In this paper we propose a sequence of tests which gives a definitive test for checking $2\times M$ separability. The test is definitive in the sense that each test corresponds to checking membership in a cone, and that the closure of the union of all these cones consists exactly of {\it all} $2 \times M$ separable states. Membership in each single cone may be checked via semidefinite programming, and is thus a tractable problem. This sequential test comes about by considering the dual problem, the characterization of all positive maps acting ${\mathbb C}^{2 \times 2} \to {\mathbb C}^{M\times M}$. The latter in turn is solved by characterizing all positive quadratic matrix polynomials in a complex variable.

description: The efficiency with which farmers use available resources is very important in agricultural production. This study examines the resource use efficiency of cassava-based mixed crop farmers in Ogun and Oyo States, Nigeria. Cross-sectional data were collected from 265 cassava-based farmers (150 in Ogun State and 115 in Oyo State) using a multistage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics, production elasticity from Cobb-Douglas production function and marginal analysis of resource utilization were some of the analytical tools used in the study. The mean farm size cultivated in Ogun State was 2.24ha while in Oyo State, it was 1.59ha. There was under-utilization fertilizer in Ogun State and land cultivated in Oyo State. Producers in the two states are inefficient in their use of resources but there exist enough potential to increase cassava output in the areas. This can be actualized by cropping larger hectares of land, regulated usage of higher quantities of fertilizers and the provision of labour saving devices which would help reduce labour requirements and enhance efficiency.
Early radiative properties of the developments of time symmetric, conformally flat initial data

description: Using a representation of spatial infinity based in the properties of conformal geodesics, the first terms of an expansion for the Bondi mass for the development of time symmetric, conformally flat initial data are calculated. As it is to be expected, the Bondi mass agrees with the ADM at the sets where null infinity ``touches'' spatial infinity. The second term in the expansion is proportional to the sum of the squared norms of the Newman-Penrose constants of the spacetime. In base of this result it is argued that these constants may provide a measure of the incoming radiation contained in the spacetime. This is illustrated by means of the Misner and Brill-Lindquist data sets.

description: The present contribution aims at the consistent discretisation of nonlinear, coupled thermoelectro-elastodynamics. In that regard, a new one-step implicit and thermodynamically consistent energymomentum integration scheme for the simulation of thermo-electro-elastic processes undergoing large deformations will be presented. The consideration is based upon polyconvexity inspired, constitutive models and a new tensor cross product algebra, which facilitate the design of the so-called discrete derivatives. The discrete derivatives are fundamental for the algorithmic evaluation of stresses and other derived variables like entropy density or the absolute temperature leading to a structure preserving integration scheme. In particular, recently published works of the authors concerning consistent time integration of large deformation thermo-elastodynamics and electro-elastodynamics are combined to a unified integration scheme. Numerical computations demonstrate the stability and conservation properties of the proposed energy-momentum scheme.

description: Angola is the second largest oil producer in Africa, after Nigeria. Angola's economy depends heavily in the production of hydrocarbons, making its economy vulnerable to fluctuations in oil prices. According to the World Bank Group, the crude oil sector is responsible for about a third of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and more than 90% of total exports. Latest estimates of Oxford Economics, an economic research consultancy firm, projects real GDP to contract by 9.3% in 2020. The company attributes the contraction to a general deterio-ration in global trade and investment caused by the outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) and crude oil investment caused by the outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) and crude oil production cuts stipulated in an agreement between the member countries of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and selected non-member countries (OPEC +).

description: In many Western countries and elsewhere, agriculture commodity exchanges have been in existence for centuries. However, Africa did not follow the same route for various reasons. It was only in the mid-1990’s that farmers and stakeholders again started to ask, how should we go about to market our products, what are the alternatives? Western models, with commodity exchanges as a possible solution, were revisited. Malawi, had a history of government controlled marketing followed by (partial) deregulation in 2006. The Agricultural Commodity Exchange for Africa (ACE) was established in 2005, survived with the help of donor funds and continued to grow slowly. It has now reached a point where it is on the verge of commercially implementing and rolling out a Warehouse Receipt System (WRS). This has brought forward questions such as what, is exactly is meant by a WRS, why is it important, what are the components of a successful WRS, and how does a WRS fit into the bigger picture of a commodity exchange? The study concludes that through the WRS, ACE will now be able to guarantee its trades since the product is already deposited in a warehouse and backed by an ACE WR. This will greatly enhance its image. The components that make up a WRS are discussed. ACE would struggle to grow and function properly without a successful WRS. If ACE could succeed, it will serve as a case study for other countries and exchanges in the region to learn from.

description: In this paper, we present statistics of soft gamma repeater (SGR) bursts from SGR J1550-5418, SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14 by adding new bursts from Kırmızıbayrak et al. (2017) detected with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). We find that the fluence distributions of magnetar bursts are well described by power-law functions with indices 1.84, 1.68, and 1.65 for SGR J1550-5418, SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14, respectively. The duration distributions of magnetar bursts also show power-law forms. Meanwhile, the waiting time distribution can be described by a non-stationary Poisson process with an exponentially growing occurrence rate. These distributive features indicate that magnetar bursts can be regarded as a self-organizing critical process. We also compare these distributions with the repeating FRB 121102. The statistical properties of repeating FRB 121102 are similar with magentar bursts, combing with the large required magnetic filed ($B\geq 10^{14}$G) of neutron star for FRB 121102, which indicates that the central engine of FRB 121102 may be a magnetar.

description: The mechanisms of angular momentum transport and level of turbulence in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are crucial for understanding many aspects of planet formation. In the recent years, it has been realized that the magneto-rotational instability (MRI) tends to be suppressed in PPDs due to non-ideal MHD effects, and the disk is largely laminar with accretion driven by magnetized disk winds. In parallel, several hydrodynamical mechanisms have been identified that likely also generate vigorous turbulence and drive disk accretion. We study the interplay between MHD winds in PPDs with the vertical shear instability (VSI), one of the most promising hydrodynamical mechanisms, through 2D global non-ideal MHD simulations with ambipolar diffusion and Ohmic resistivity. We find that for typical disk parameters, MHD winds can coexist with the VSI with accretion primarily wind-driven accompanied by vigorous VSI turbulence. The properties of the VSI remain similar to unmagnetized case, and the wind and overall field configuration are not strongly affected by VSI turbulence, showing modest level of variability and corrugation of midplane current sheet. Enhanced coupling between gas and magnetic field weakens the VSI. The VSI is also weakened with increasing magnetization, and we find that corrugation motions characteristic of the VSI transitions to low-amplitude breathing mode oscillations.

description: Agricultural output commercialization has been found to have positive impacts on the income generating activities of household in sub-Sahara Africa. This paper examines the extent of agricultural produce commercialization and its impact on the household income generation vis-à-vis household welfare in the rural areas of Osun State. Data from 200 randomly selected rural households were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Tobit regression analysis. Results from the data analysis revealed that 74.3% of households commercialise their farm produce, though at different levels. As a measure of household welfare a food poverty line of N1615.92 per month/adult equivalent was obtained and 63.2 % of the rural households were below this line. Tobit regression analysis revealed that extent of agricultural output commercialization was one of the significant variables that affected the poverty status of households in the study area. The paper concluded that there was high rate of agricultural output commercialization among households in the study area and this definitely affected their welfare statuses. It is therefore recommended that policies aimed at improving household welfare should be centered on increasing farm output and developing a competitive market for agricultural produce in the study area.

description: We study a general theory on the interference of two-photon wavepacket in a beam splitter (BS). We find that the perfect coalescence interference requires a symmetric spectrum of two-photon wavepacket which can be entangled or un-entangled. Furthermore, we introduce a two-photon wavepacket with anti-symmetric spectrum, which is related with photon entanglement and shows a perfect anti-coalescence effect. The theory present uniform and complete explanation to two-photon interference.
