description: Coupling the output of a source quantum system into a target quantum system is easily treated by cascaded systems theory if the intervening quantum channel is dispersionless. However, dispersion may be important in some transfer protocols, especially in solid-state systems. In this paper we show how to generalize cascaded systems theory to treat such dispersion, provided it is not too strong. We show that the technique also works for fermionic systems with a low flux, and can be extended to treat fermionic systems with large flux. To test our theory, we calculate the effect of dispersion on the fidelity of a simple protocol of quantum state transfer. We find good agreement with an approximate analytical theory that had been previously developed for this example.

description: Resolving the phase structure of neutral hydrogen (HI) is crucial for understanding the life cycle of the interstellar medium (ISM). However, accurate measurements of HI temperature and density are limited by the availability of background continuum sources for measuring HI absorption. Here we test the use of deep learning for extracting HI properties over large areas without optical depth information. We train a 1D convolutional neural network using synthetic observations of 3D numerical simulations of the ISM to predict the fraction of cold neutral medium (f_CNM) and the correction to the optically-thin HI column density for optical depth (R_HI) from $21\rm\,cm$ emission alone. We restrict our analysis to high Galactic latitudes ($|b|>30 deg), where the complexity of spectral line profiles is minimized. We verify that the network accurately predicts f_CNM and R_HI by comparing the results with direct constraints from 21 cm absorption. By applying the network to the GALFA-HI survey, we generate large-area maps of f_CNM and R_HI. Although the overall contribution to the total HI column of cold neutral medium (CNM)-rich structures is small (~5%), we find that these structures are ubiquitous. Our results are consistent with the picture that small-scale structures observed in 21 cm emission aligned with the magnetic field are dominated by CNM. Finally, we demonstrate that the observed correlation between HI column density and dust reddening (E(B-V)) declines with increasing R_HI, indicating that future efforts to quantify foreground Galactic E(B-V) using HI, even at high latitudes, should increase fidelity by accounting for HI phase structure.

On the Stability and Structural Dynamics of Metal Nanowires

description: This article presents a brief review of the nanoscale free-electron model, which provides a continuum description of metal nanostructures. It is argued that surface and quantum-size effects are the two dominant factors in the energetics of metal nanowires, and that much of the phenomenology of nanowire stability and structural dynamics can be understood based on the interplay of these two competing factors. A linear stability analysis reveals that metal nanocylinders with certain magic conductance values G=1, 3, 6, 12, 17, 23, 34, 42, 51, 67, 78, 96, ... times the conductance quantum are exceptionally stable. A nonlinear dynamical simulation of nanowire structural evolution reveals a universal equilibrium shape consisting of a magic cylinder suspended between unduloidal contacts. The lifetimes of these metastable structures are also computed.

description: Grid pricing improves the flow of information to producers, but market signals sent by grids may not be clearly understood. This study uses a two-stage Coefficients of Separate Determination process, four sets of fed cattle carcass data, and sensitivity analyses to identify market signals sent by grid pricing. Weight sends a stronger market signal than carcass quality characteristics such as quality and yield grade. Although grids are shaping production, market signals indicate that lower quality carcasses are penalized more than higher quality carcasses are rewarded. Sensitivity analyses suggest changes in quality and yield grade discounts have the greatest impact on market signals.

In particular, we discuss how an improved limit on (or a specific value of) theta_{13} can influence the determination of the neutrino mass spectrum via neutrino-less double beta decay. We also discuss the interplay with improved cosmological neutrino mass searches.

The primaries cause excitations of strings and give rise to extensive air showers (EAS) resembling EAS induced by nuclei. We also show that in ``low scale'' string models (of characteristic energy about 70TeV) the excited string and the mini black hole pictures are equivalent.

description: As increasingly more transactions occur away from open markets, the so-called "thin" market issues arise. This paper analyzes unpublished transaction data from Egg Clearinghouse, Inc. (ECI), a marginal marketplace for eggs that trades 4% of all eggs (80% of eggs available for open trading). Results suggest that marginalized markets can serve as an inventory adjustment mechanism while maintaining the role of price discovery as a check for non-market prices. At ECI, most firms both buy and sell regardless of operational types, participation is balanced across all types of firms in the industry, and sellers in general yield to buyers' preferred terms of trade.

description: The Cooperative Extension Service is an outstanding success story for education, but a model whose value is now in question. I focus on economic principles that apply to the question, "Is it time to end Extension, and if not, how can it be saved?" Six principles are identified: public goods, competitive advantage, privatization, long-run sustainability, business practices, and political economy. There is cause to support Extension, but leadership is needed to establish a common direction and to implement changes. Strategic planning would be helpful to identify these changes and to make Extension's value known to clientele and policy makers. Includes biography of Dana L. Hoag.

description: Livestock producers primarily, but policy makers also, have an interest in market effects from meatpacking plant closings and openings. This article presents results from a study to determine price impacts from an anticipated hog slaughtering plant opening and an unexpected fed cattle slaughtering plant closing. The estimated price effects for each plant event were modeled with price difference and partial adjustment models. The plant opening resulted in higher absolute and relative hog prices in the Provincial market where the plant was located. However, adverse price impacts from the fed cattle plant closing were less evident.

Leading twist nuclear shadowing and suppression of hard coherent diffraction in proton-nucleus scattering
Creators: name: Guzey, V.

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We use the Glauber-Gribov multiple scattering formalism and the theory of leading twist nuclear shadowing to develop a method for the calculation of leading twist hard coherent diffraction in hadron-nucleus processes. We demonstrate that soft multiple rescatterings lead to the factorization breaking of hard diffraction in proton-nucleus scattering, which is larger than in hadron-nucleon scattering. At the LHC and RHIC kinematics, we compare the hard diffractive to e.m.~mechanisms of hard coherent production of two jets in proton-nucleus scattering. We study the x_{\Pomeron}, βand A-dependence of the ratio of the dijet production cross sections due to the two effects, R. We demonstrate that in proton-heavy nucleus hard coherent diffraction at the LHC, R is small, which offers a clean method to study hard photon-proton scattering at the energies exceeding the HERA energies by the factor of ten. On the other hand, the use of lighter nuclei, such as Ca-40, will allow to study the screened nuclear diffractive parton distribution. Moreover, a comparison of the dijet diffractive production to the heavy-quark-jet diffractive production will estimate the screened nuclear diffractive gluon PDF, which will be measured in nucleus-nucleus ultraperipheral collisions at the LHC.

description: The authors draw on the United Kingdom's experience with various agri-environmental schemes since the mid-1980s to identify lessons and issues for expansion of agri-environmental stewardship payment programs in the U.S. and Europe. A key recommendation of the authors is that major stewardship payment initiatives are needed on both sides of the Atlantic at this time to encourage more diverse crop systems, incorporating legume-based rotations. Issues and challenges addressed in the paper include: (1) compatibility of production support and stewardship support; (2) balancing stewardship payments and environmental compliance; (3) opportunities for programs to contribute jointly to social and stewardship objectives; (4) compatibility of World Trade Organization rules with stewardship schemes; (5) capitalization of scheme benefits into land values; (6) how to gain from bottom-up planning and subsidiarity; and (7) whether farmers already practicing 'good stewardship' should qualify for stewardship payments.

Lift and Relax for PDE-constrained inverse problems in seismic imaging

description: We present Lift and Relax for Waveform Inversion (LRWI), an approach that mitigates the local minima issue in seismic full waveform inversion (FWI) via a combination of two convexification techniques. The first technique (Lift) extends the set of variables in the optimization problem to products of those variables, arranged as a moment matrix. This algebraic idea is a celebrated way to replace a hard polynomial optimization problem by a semidefinite programming approximation. Concretely, both the model and the wavefield are lifted from vectors to rank-2 matrices. The second technique (Relax) invites to consider the wave equation, not as a hard constraint, but as a soft constraint to be satisfied only approximately - a technique known as wavefield reconstruction inversion (WRI). WRI weakens wave-equation constraints by introducing wave-equation misfits as a weighted penalty term in the objective function. The relaxed penalty formulation enables balancing the data and wave-equation misfits by tuning a penalty parameter. Together, Lift and Relax help reformulate the inverse problem as a set of constraints on a rank-2 moment matrix in a higher dimensional space. Such a lifting strategy permits a good data and wave-equation fit throughout the inversion process, while leaving the numerical rank of the rank-2 moment matrix to be minimized down to one. Numerical examples indicate that compared to FWI and WRI, LRWI can conduct successful inversions using an initial model that would be considered too poor, and data with a starting frequency that would be considered too high, for either method in isolation. Specifically, LRWI increases the acceptable starting frequency from 1.0 Hz and 0.5 Hz to 2.0 Hz and 2.5 for the Marmousi model and the Overthrust model, respectively, in the cases of a linear gradient starting model.

description: A number of astrophyical transients originating from stellar explosions are powered by the collision of the ejected material with the circumstellar medium, which efficiently produces thermal radiation via shock dissipation. We investigate how such interaction-powered transients are distributed in the peak bolometric luminosity vs the rise time phase space. Taking the advantage of less time-consuming one-dimensional simulations with spherical symmetry, we calculated more than 500 models with different circumstellar mass and radius, ejecta mass and energy, and chemical compositions. The peak bolometric luminosity, the total radiated energy, and the rise time of the interaction-powered emission are measured for each simulated light curve. We consider how these characteristic quantities are determined as a function of the model parameters and discuss possible implications for the observed populations of (potential) interaction-powered transients, such as type IIn supernovae and fast blue optical transients.

description: A search for H3+ line emission, reported to have been detected toward the young star HD 141569A and possibly originating in a clump of planet-forming gas orbiting the star, has yielded negative results. Observations made at the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope and at the Subaru Telescope during 2001-2005 covered 11 major transitions of H3+ from 3.42 to 3.99 um. No H3+ emission lines were detected; one marginal detection at 3.9855 um in June 2002 was not confirmed in later spectra. The upper limits to the line strengths are significantly lower than the previously reported detections. Supplemental slit-scanning spectroscopy using adaptive optics was performed within 0.38 of HD 141569A to search for extended emission from H3+, but no emission was detected. We compare our upper limit to the luminosity in H3+ from HD 141569A with that possible from a gas giant protoplanet and also from a jovian mass exoplanet in close orbit about its central star.

description: Per the Efficient Market Hypothesis, all new information concerning a corporation and its performance is quickly assimilated into its share price. Hence, the assiduous investor who ferrets out "fresh" news will be nonplussed, as that information is already accounted for in the stock's price. With no reward to revelation, the standard recourse is investment in a representative market basket and a wait for "lightning" to strike already-held shares. However, recent market bubbles (Nasdaq, 2000-01)and lemming-like rushes to the sea of profit, suggest that irrational investor behavior creates inefficient, unpredictable markets. The irony is that, the internet, which provides the investor with near-perfect information, also helps create inefficiencies by nurturing in the investor, a sense of hubris and false superiority which results in under and overreaction, overinvesting, and market volatility.

We extend this result to an appropriate statement in positive characteristic. Furthermore, we present a new proof of the original result, which produces also the exact number of monic polynomials of a given degree for which the bound is attained. A similar argument allows us to determine the number of monic polynomials of a given degree, multiplicity of a given nonzero root, and number of nonzero coefficients, over a finite field of characteristic larger than the degree.

description: The creative component of my thesis seeks to explore themes of human nature and what societal constructs attempt to control the animalistic desires that underpin our enjoyment of violence in media. Specifically, it will look at the tools used to justify violence perpetuated by the novel’s protagonist. Caged follows Dean, a Vietnam War veteran suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). He begins experiencing vivid memories that are impossible to distinguish from real life. He sets on a mission to save the only surviving member of his Special Forces unit, Otis, from a hellish prison called The Cage. The novel will explore themes of justification of violence, historical influence on modern prejudice, and mental illness. The auxiliary component of this thesis will provide a commentary on the specific writing conventions that are used in this novel, and the importance of historical accuracy.

Evaluation of the photonic conversion finder for the BABAR experiment
Creators: name: Lurie, Zerah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A study of the leptonic backgrounds due to unidentified converted photon daughter tracks in semi-leptonic B decays has been conducted. The main tool in identifying converted photons at the BABAR experiment is a Photonic Conversion Finder (PCF) that has only been previously tested on Monte Carlo simulated data. The PCF is tested on a BABAR data sample containing Radiative Bhabha events. It was found that the PCF is able to properly identify two oppositely charged tracks as originating from a Photonic Conversion with a 70-80% isotropic efficiency above a converted photon energy of 0.5 GeV. This efficiency is slightly lower for converted photon energies below 0.5 GeV. The 70-80% efficiency plateau indicates that the PCF has an internal efficiency limit. The overall results of a comprehensive study on the lepton energy spectrum from tracks that were unidentified as originating from converted photons found that for every 2 tracks properly identified as originating from a Photonic Conversion, 2.4 tracks went unidentified. This result is due to both a low energy reconstruction inefficiency of the BABAR detector acting on highly asymmetric Photonic Conversions and to the internal efficiency limit of the PCF. In future studies at the BABAR experiment, users will be able to obtain the energy spectrum of leptons unidentified as originating from converted photons in their analysis by taking the energy spectrum of identified converted photons obtained in this thesis and scaling it to match their energy spectrum of identified converted photons.
Geometric Total Variation for Image Vectorization, Zooming and Pixel Art Depixelizing

Subjects: subject: Image and Video Processing (eess.IV)

description: We propose an original method for vectorizing an image or zooming it at an arbitrary scale. The core of our method relies on the resolution of a geometric variational model and therefore offers theoretic guarantees. More precisely, it associates a total variation energy to every valid triangulation of the image pixels. Its minimization induces a trian-gulation that reflects image gradients. We then exploit this triangulation to precisely locate discontinuities, which can then simply be vectorized or zoomed. This new approach works on arbitrary images without any learning phase. It is particularly appealing for processing images with low quantization like pixel art and can be used for depixelizing such images. The method can be evaluated with an online demonstrator, where users can reproduce results presented here or upload their own images.

description: After the onset of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, a number of studies reported on possible changes in electricity consumption trends. The overall theme of these reports was that ``electricity use has decreased during the pandemic, but the power grid is still reliable''---mostly due to reduced economic activity. In this paper we analyze electricity data upto end of May 2020, examining both electricity demand and variables that can indicate stress on the power grid, such as peak demand and demand ramp-rate. We limit this study to three states in the USA: New York, California, and Florida. The results indicate that the effect of the pandemic on electricity demand is not a simple reduction from comparable time frames, and there are noticeable differences among regions. The variables that can indicate stress on the grid also conveyed mixed messages: some indicate an increase in stress, some indicate a decrease, and some do not indicate any clear difference. A positive message is that some of the changes that were observed around the time stay-at-home orders were issued appeared to revert back by May 2020. A key challenge in ascribing any observed change to the pandemic is correcting for weather. We provide a weather-correction method, apply it to a small city-wide area, and discuss the implications of the estimated changes in demand. The weather correction exercise underscored that weather-correction is as challenging as it is important.

Subjects: Demand and Price Analysis

description: Mandatory livestock price reporting has changed how prices are reported and used by analysts and market participants. Reporting has affected the availablity of many reports and has added new reports and information. The new information often needs to be put into a meaningful form for direct use by analysts and participants. A brief overview of the evolution and implementation of mandatory price reporting is given. The new price reports are then discussed and compared to voluntary reports. Special attention is given to new reports that give insights into the short- and medium-run cattle supply situation. As South Dakota had State-level reporting in place prior to the Federal law, there is additional data and insights that put national observations into perspective. While the focus is on cattle reports, swine reports are also briefly discussed.

description: The paper provides an overview of the types of economic costs, benefits, and risks involved with agricultural biotechnology at the farm level, at the market level, and for the farm and food system as a whole. Both advantages and disadvantages of agricultural biotechnology are discussed. Among the drivers of the U.S. domestic and international consumer demand for transgenic crop products discussed in the paper are environmental and food safety concerns. A comparison is made between a science-based' regulatory framework and a policy based on the precautionary principle. The authors argue that open dialogue is needed for achieving improved public nderstanding of agricultural biotechnology, and that analyses need to go beyond discussing the scientific merits of biotechnology, to include social scientists, as well as the public at large.
Giant perpendicular magnetic anisotropy enhancement in MgO-based magnetic tunnel junction by using Co/Fe composite layer

description: Magnetic tunnel junctions with perpendicular anisotropy form the basis of the spin-transfer torque magnetic random-access memory (STT-MRAM), which is non-volatile, fast, dense, and has quasi-infinite write endurance and low power consumption. Based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we propose an alternative design of magnetic tunnel junctions comprising Fe(n)Co(m)Fe(n)/MgO storage layers with greatly enhanced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) up to several mJ/m2, leveraging the interfacial perpendicular anisotropy of Fe/MgO along with a stress-induced bulk PMA discovered within bcc Co. This giant enhancement dominates the demagnetizing energy when increasing the film thickness. The tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) estimated from the Julliere model is comparable with that of the pure Fe/MgO case. We discuss the advantages and pitfalls of a real-life fabrication of the structure and propose the Fe(3ML)Co(4ML)Fe(3ML) as a storage layer for MgO-based STT-MRAM cells. The large PMA in strained bcc Co is explained in the framework of Bruno's model by the MgO-imposed strain and consequent changes in the energies of dyz and dz2 minority-spin bands.

description: One consequence of the new federal mandatory price reporting regime in the livestock industry was the discontinuation of eight regional voluntary price reports for live slaughter cattle. The economic implication for price discovery and market transparency in those affected regional markets is investigated. Two sets of price reports, collected from discontinued price reports for a five-year period just prior to the elimination by the Agricultural Marketing News Service, were analyzed to determine if any of the price series, could be used as a replacement for the discontinued reports in their respective regions. We conclude that price discovery and market transparency were degraded in western regional markets to a greater extent than Midwest regional markets. Empirical results suggest that the lack of adequate alternative sources of market information in western regional markets may result in further deterioration in market transparency and price discovery in the future.

description: Over the last three decades, producers in South Dakota have planted increasingly more acres under corn and soybeans and have moved away from producing oats and barley. The wheat production in the state has also increased during this period. The grain handling industry in South Dakota has also changed over time. The number of commercial elevators has significantly decreased during the past 30 years, and the operating capacities of the remaining ones are much larger. Genetically modified(GM) of transgenic corn and soybeans were introduced in 1996. Presently, South Dakota is leading the nation in adoption of corn and soybeans. Despite some consumers' reluctance to buy food products containing ingredients from biotech crops, the market demand for non-biotech crops is currently very limited. This paper reviews historic trends in South Dakota's grain production and grain handling system during the last three decades. The paper also assesses the readiness of South Dakota's grain-handling industry to respond to a potentially expanded market demand for non-biotech crops segregated from biotech crops.
South Dakota's Hog Market: Developments and Prospects

description: This paper examines the developments that have occurred in South Dakota's swine industry and offers insights into its future prospects. Data, trends, and literature related to this market were gathered in an effort to fill in specific gaps about South Dakota's market. Nationally and in South Dakota there are fewer producers raising hogs. The exit of relatively small producers from the industry reduced a seasonal spike of farrowings during the March-May quarter in recent years. A growing trend of inshipments, where feeder pigs are brought into South Dakota, finished, and marketed, has partially offset the reduction in farrowings. An analysis of a longstanding indicator of supply, farrowing intentions, reveals that the closer intentions reported were more accurate than the distant intentions and that the overall accuracy is impressive. The general price level for market hogs at Sioux Falls follows a similar pattern to U.S. prices. A seasonal trend exists at Sioux Falls, with prices higher from May through August. Analysis of location basis, the difference between the CME Lean Hog Index and the cash price at Sioux Falls, with prices higher from May through August. Analysis of location basis, the difference between the CME Lean Hog Index and the cash price at Sioux Falls, also reveals a seasonal trend and substantial variablity across different months. Knowledge of basis is necessary when comparing different markets and when determining the effectiveness of risk management tools.

description: The Riemann hypothesis is considered as one of the most important conjectures in Mathematics. This consists in knowing whether the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part 0.5. This conjecture was proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859. Since that date, several mathematicians have addressed the Riemann hypothesis, but none of their attempts have yet been accepted as correct solutions. On the other hand, P versus NP is considered as one of the most important open problems in computer science. This consists in knowing the answer of the following question: Is P equal to NP? We prove if P = NP, then the Riemann hypothesis is false.
Kalb-Ramond solitons in basonic string theory

description: A soliton of the Kalb-Ramond field in closed bosonic string theory is introduced. Under appropriate configurations the cosmological constant becomes a periodic function of the Kalb-Ramond field. This vacuum degeneracy permits the formation of sine- Gordon solitons. The energy and length scale of the soliton is inversely proportional to the string coupling constant g[sub s]. The stability of the the solitons is discussed and it is shown that these objects are stable.
