description: In recent years, Guangxi realized consecutive bumper harvests in fresh agricultural products, leading increase of logistics demand; logistics infrastructure begins to take shape, and logistics of fresh agricultural products takes on diversified development form with wholesale market as main form. However, traditional fresh agricultural products are not selling well and it lacks construction of supply chain; the construction of logistics information system for fresh agricultural products lags behind; organizational level of production and operation of fresh agricultural products is low. Through analyzing current situations and existing problems of logistics of Guangxi fresh agricultural products in the new period (21st century), this paper came up with recommendations for developing logistics of fresh agricultural products of Guangxi. Government should increase policy and financial support, build and manage supply chain of fresh agricultural products, accelerate construction of logistics information system for agricultural products, and improve organizational level of logistics of fresh agricultural products, to ensure healthy development of logistics of fresh agricultural products in Guangxi.

description: We propose models for neutrino masses and mixing in the framework of low scale $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$ gauge extension of the standard model. The models are designed to spontaneously break $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$ so that the $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$ gauge boson acquires an MeV scale mass, which is required to solve the long-standing problem of muon anomalous magnetic moment. Tiny neutrino masses are obtained by simultaneously invoking the linear and the inverse seesaw mechanism, and we succeed in realizing two types of one-zero textures in the active neutrino mass matrix. Both of the obtained textures favor inverted neutrino mass ordering and are testable in next generation experiments of neutrinoless double beta decay. We also show that some of extra scalar bosons can have MeV scale masses and would have significant impacts on observations of high energy cosmic neutrinos.

description: A torus develops a state of suspended accretion against a magnetic wall around a rapidly rotating black hole formed in core-collapse hypernovae. It hereby emits about 10% of the black hole spin-energy in gravitational radiation from a finite number of multipole mass moments. We quantify the relation between the frequency of quadrupole gravitational radiation and the energy output $E_w$ in torus winds by $f_{gw}\simeq 470{Hz}(E_w/4\times 10^{52}{erg})^{1/2}(7M_\odot/M)^{3/2}$, where $M$ denotes the mass of the black hole. We propose that $E_w$ irradiates the remnant stellar envelope from within. We identify $E_w$ with energies $\sim 10^{52}$ erg inferred from X-ray observations on matter injecta; and the poloidal curvature in the magnetic wall with the horizon opening angle in baryon poor outflows that power true GRB energies of $E_γ\simeq 3\times 10^{51}$ erg.

Adjust Your Focus: Defocus Deblurring From Dual-Pixel Images Using Explicit Multi-Scale Cross-Correlation

description: Defocus blur is a common problem in photography. It arises when an image is captured with a wide aperture, resulting in a shallow depth of field. Sometimes it is desired, e.g., in portrait effect. Otherwise, it is a problem from both an aesthetic point of view and downstream computer vision tasks, such as segmentation and depth estimation. Defocusing an out-of-focus image to obtain an all-in-focus image is a highly challenging and often ill-posed problem. A recent work exploited dual-pixel (DP) image information, widely available in consumer DSLRs and high-end smartphones, to solve the problem of defocus deblurring. DP sensors result in two sub-aperture views containing defocus disparity cues. A given pixel's disparity is directly proportional to the distance from the focal plane. However, the existing methods adopt a naïve approach of a channel-wise concatenation of the two DP views without explicitly utilizing the disparity cues within the network. In this work, we propose to perform an explicit cross-correlation between the two DP views to guide the network for appropriate deblurring in different image regions. We adopt multi-scale cross-correlation to handle blur and disparities at different scales. Quantitative and qualitative evaluation of our multi-scale cross-correlation network (MCCNet) reveals that it achieves better defocus deblurring than existing state-of-the-art methods despite having lesser computational complexity.

description: This study was carried out in the Teaching and Research Farm of Delta State University, Asaba Campus (Nigeria) from March to December in 2008 and replicated between March and December, 2009, to evaluate the effects of variety and spacing on yield indices of Open-pollinated maize. It was a factorial experiment carried out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replicates. Four open-pollinated varieties (Suwan -1- SR, ACR97, BR9922-DMRSF2 and AMATZBRC2WB) were evaluated under three different plant spacing for such yield indices as number of cobs/plant, cob length, grain weight and number of grains/cob of maize. The results obtained indicated that variety BR9922-DMRSF2 was outstanding with number of cobs/plant of 1.7 in both 2008 and 2009, cob length of 27.7 cm and 26.7 cm in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Its grain weight was 4.7 t/ha in 2008 and 4.9 t/ha in 2009, and its number of grain/cob was 467.7 in 2008, and 463.9 in 2009. Plants sown at spacing of 75 cm x 15cm had higher number of cobs/plant of 1.9 in both 2008 and 2009.Their grain weights (t/ha) were 5.0 in 2008 and 5.2 in 2009, their cob lengths were 18.6cm in 2008 and 20.1cm in 2009, while their number of grains/cob were 363.0 in 2008, and 369.0 in 2009. The results of interaction showed that except variety x space, the parameters investigated were all significantly (P < 0.05) different and affected yield indices of open-pollinated maize. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that (i) open-pollinated variety BR9922-DMRF2 be grown in the study area for increased grain yield indices of maize. (ii) Plant spacing of 75 cm x 15 cm which resulted in higher number of cobs/plant and higher grain weight be adopted in maize production.
Lyman Alpha Absorber Correlations and the Bias of the Lyman Alpha Forest

description: Lyman alpha absorber correlations contain information about the underlying density distribution associated with a particular class of absorbers. As such, they provide an opportunity to independently measure the "bias" of the Lyman alpha forest, i.e. the relationship between HI column density and underlying dark matter density. In these proceedings we use hydrodynamic simulations to investigate whether the evolution of this bias is measurable from observable correlations. Unfortunately, the increasingly complex physics in the IGM at z<1 makes a direct measurement of the bias difficult. Nevertheless, current simulations do make predictions for HI absorber correlations that are in broad agreement with observations at both high and low redshift, thus reinforcing the bias evolution predictions given by these models.

description: In the Newtonian limit of general relativity force acting on a test mass in a central gravitational field is conventionally defined by the attractive Newtonian gravity (inverse square) term plus a small repulsive cosmological force, which is proportional to the slow acceleration of the universe expansion. In this paper we consider the cosmological force correction due to fast quantum oscillations of the universe scale factor, which were suggested recently by Wang et al. (Phys. Rev. D 95, 103504 (2017)) as a potential solution of the cosmological constant problem. These fast fluctuations of the cosmological scale factor induce strong changes to the current sign and magnitude of the average cosmological force, thus making it one of the potential probable causes of the modification of Newtonian dynamics in galaxy-scale systems. The modified cosmological force may be responsible for the recently discovered "cosmic clock" behaviour of disk galaxies in the low redshift universe.

description: We investigate in this study (i) a redefinition of crop variety zonations at a spatial scale of 10x10 km, and (ii) the influence of recalibrated crop parameters on regional yield forecasting of winter wheat and grain maize in western Europe. The baseline zonation and initial crop parameter set was derived from the operational European crop growth monitoring system (CGMS) which involves the agrometeorological model WOFOST. Air temperature data from 325 weather stations over the 1992-2007 period were used to define new zonations in a 300 x 300 km test site. Two parameters which influenced mostly the phenological development stages (i.e. TSUM1 and TSUM2, the effective air temperature sums from emergence to anthesis, and from anthesis to maturity, respectively) were chosen and calibrated. The CGMS was finally run based on these new recalibrated parameters and simulated crop status indicators were compared with official statistics over the 2000-2007 period. Our results showed that the days of anthesis and maturity were simulated with coefficients of determination (R2) ranging from 0.22 to 0.87 for both crops over the study site. A qualitative assessment of maximum leaf area index and harvest index also revealed a more consistent spatial pattern than the initial zonation in the simulation results. Finally, recalibrated TSUM1 and TSUM2 led to improved relationships between official yield and simulated crop indicators (significant R2 in 17 out of 28 and in 14 out of 59 NUTS3 regions with respect to the best predictor for grain maize and winter wheat, respectively).

description: Collaborative perception is essential for networks of agents with limited sensing capabilities, enabling them to work together by exchanging information to achieve a robust and comprehensive understanding of their environment. However, localization inaccuracies often lead to significant spatial message displacement, which undermines the effectiveness of these collaborative efforts. To tackle this challenge, we introduce FeaKM, a novel method that employs Feature-level Keypoints Matching to effectively correct pose discrepancies among collaborating agents. Our approach begins by utilizing a confidence map to identify and extract salient points from intermediate feature representations, allowing for the computation of their descriptors. This step ensures that the system can focus on the most relevant information, enhancing the matching process. We then implement a target-matching strategy that generates an assignment matrix, correlating the keypoints identified by different agents. This is critical for establishing accurate correspondences, which are essential for effective collaboration. Finally, we employ a fine-grained transformation matrix to synchronize the features of all agents and ascertain their relative statuses, ensuring coherent communication among them. Our experimental results demonstrate that FeaKM significantly outperforms existing methods on the DAIR-V2X dataset, confirming its robustness even under severe noise conditions. The code and implementation details are available at https://github.com/uestchjw/FeaKM.

description: Potato has overtime generated special importance in most parts of Kenya and the world as a means of strengthening food security and increasing revenue for farmers. However, potato productivity and industry expansion have been constrained by the poor quality seed tubers being produced in the informal seed sector due to inadequate supply of initial planting materials, improper fertilizer management practices and irregular rainfall patterns. A study was done at the Horticultural Research and Teaching Farm of Egerton University to determine the effect of integration of irrigation water, nitrogen and phosphorus rates on seed tuber relative weight loss and sprouting characteristics after storage. The three factors were tested in a split-split plot design where irrigation water supply was assigned to main plots, N to subplots and P to sub-subplots. The treatments were replicated three times and the trial repeated once. The treatments consisted of three irrigation water rates (40%, 65% and 100% field capacity), applied throughout the potato growth period through drip tube lines. Nitrogen was supplied as urea (46% N) at four equivalent rates of 0, 75, 112.5 and 150 kg N/ha, while phosphorus was supplied at planting time as triple superphosphate (46% P2O5) at four rates of 0, 115, 172.5 and 230 kg/ha P2O5, which translated into 0, 50.6, 75.9, 101.2 kg P/ha. Data collected included relative percentage weight loss, number of sprouts and sprouting percentage. Data collected was subjected to analysis of variance and significantly different means separated using Tukey’s Studentized Range Test at p ? 0.05. The 100% compared to 65% and 40% irrigation water rates resulted in relatively high weight loss, sprout length and reduced the number of sprouts and sprouting percentage of seed tubers. N and P rates generally decreased the relative weight loss, improved the number of sprouts and sprouting percentage. It is recommended to apply low to intermediate irrigation water, intermediate to high N and P rates to reduce the percentage relative weight loss and sprouting characteristics.

description: The objective of this study was to measure the relative influence of the animal’s age, body condition score (BCS), glycemia at day of insemination (D0) and the livestock management system on the probability of conception and occurrence of embryonic mortalities. In this study, 81 inseminated cows both of the Gobra Zebu breed and crossbred were sampled. Blood samples were collected the day of insemination (D0) and twenty-one (D21) and thirty-five (D35) days after AI. The BCS, the age and the livestock management system were recorded for all animals before the artificial insemination (AI). The glycemia was measured on D0. Pregnancy diagnosis was performed by progesterone and pregnancy associated glycoprotein assays and transrectal palpation. A multinomial logistic model was used to analyze the effect of the selection criteria for cows on the success rate of AI. The pregnancy diagnosis makes possible to detect 47% of pregnant cows and 26% of late embryonic mortality (LEM) at D60 post AI. The maximum likelihood test carried out on the model permits to reject the null hypothesis (p < 0.0001) according to which all animals have the same chance of being pregnant (47%). The variables thus provide a significant amount of information to explain the variability in the success rate of AI. The most significant factor was age (p < 0.0001), followed by the BCS, then glycemia and finally the livestock management system (p = 0.047). The BCS is the factor that most explains the variability in pregnant cows. For the group of LEM, age of the animal accounts for variability.

description: We establish a map between AdS$_3 \times$S$^2$ and AdS$_7$ solutions to massive IIA supergravity that allows one to interpret the former as holographic duals to D2-D4 defects inside 6d (1,0) CFTs. This relation singles out in a particular manner the AdS$_3\times$S$^2$ solution constructed from AdS$_3\times$S$^3\times $CY$_2$ through non-Abelian T-duality, with respect to a freely acting SU(2). We find explicit global completions to this solution and provide well-defined (0,4) 2d dual CFTs associated to them. These completions consist of linear quivers with colour groups coming from D2 and D6 branes and flavour groups coming from D8 and D4 branes. Finally, we discuss the relation with flows interpolating between AdS$_3\times$S$^2\times$T$^4$ geometries and AdS$_7$ solutions found in the literature.

description: We study the possibility to use the Cherenkov light for the efficient detection of 511 keV photons with the goal to use it in TOF-PET. We designed and tested two detection modules consisting of PbF$_2$ crystals attached to Planacon MCP-PMT XP85012. Amplified PMT signals are digitized by the SAMPIC module with high readout rate, up to $10^5$ events/s, and a negligible contribution to the time resolution, below 20 ps (FWHM). We developed a fast 2D scanning system to calibrate the PMT time response and studied in details the timing characteristics of the Planacon PMT. Using a radioactive $^{22}$Na source we measured a detection efficiency of 24% for 511 keV photons in a 10 mm thick crystal and a coincidence resolving time of 280 ps. We analyzed the main factors limiting the time resolution of the large-surface detection module and proposed solutions to improve it, which will be tested in our future project.

title: Deciphering the signature of fluid/rock reactions in the lower oceanic crust: The Oman ophiolite analogue
Creators: name: Grabowska, Marta

Subjects: subject: lower oceanic crust, hydrothermal alteration, alteration geochemistry, fault zones

description: Hydrothermal circulation is a key Earth process, moderating elemental and heat transfers between oceanic lithosphere and the hydrosphere. The characterization and quantification of fluid/rock reactions and fluid fluxes in fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges has been a long-term ambition given these ridges are responsible for formation of two thirds of present day oceanic crust. However, our understanding of fluid pathways and the extent of fluid/rock interactions in the lower crust, particularly associated with faulting, is scarce due to limited sampling. The Oman Drilling Project has sampled three 400 metre boreholes in the lower oceanic crust of the Semail ophiolite. Hole GT1A located in Wadi Gideah targeted a hydrothermal fault zone, recovering multiple deformed intervals throughout the whole section of layered gabbros. This study recognizes two main categories and a further 7 sub-categories of deformation, showing a range of mineral assemblages and variable chemical composition. The time-integrated record of fluid circulation reveals that alteration occurred mostly under greenschist facies conditions and continued down to prehnite-pumpellyite facies. However, the textural characteristics of amphibole-rich fault zones imply an earlier, high temperature stage of deformation. The 87Sr/86Sr and δ18O values of the whole rocks and mineral separates point to formation from evolved fluids and so far no evidence of unaltered seawater-like compositions are found. Similar styles of deformation and geochemical variability are found in Hole GT2A (~2km stratigraphically above Hole GT1A), albeit at varying scales. Previous models that identify large-scale faults with ~1km spacing in the lower crust must be revised to incorporate the higher abundance of faulting. Deformation is uniformly associated with elevated LOI and depletions in all major elements and base metals except for CaO and V, which are enriched in these zones. The elements mobilized by fluids are either incorporated into the alteration halo, vein minerals, or transported away. Relative to the previous estimates of crustal hydrothermal fluxes, the fault zones contribute 155% of Si, 46% of Al and 33% of all Fe extracted from the crust into the fluid. This work presents new data on the contribution of the fault zones to the global hydrothermal fluxes of Sc, V, Cr, Co, Ni and Sr.
Probing Higgs couplings to light quarks via Higgs pair production

description: We consider the potential of the Higgs boson pair production process to probe the light quark Yukawa couplings. We show within an effective theory description that the prospects of constraining enhanced first generation light quark Yukawa couplings in Higgs pair production are similar to other methods and channels, due to a coupling of two Higgs bosons to two fermions. Higgs pair production can hence also probe if the Higgs sector couples non-linearly to the light quark generations. For the second generation, we show that by employing charm tagging for the Higgs boson pair decaying to $c\bar{c}γγ$, we can obtain similarly good prospects for measuring the charm Yukawa coupling as in other direct probes.

Food Security and Poverty

description: The development of the agricultural sector and the improvement of the food security situation are seen as essential components to sustainable development in Sub-Sahara Africa. However, continuing population growth, impacts of climate change and environmental degradation add to an unprecedented combination of pressures that threaten existing efforts and solutions. This article discusses the relation between the challenges of making agriculture more sustainable and meeting food security needs. Several solutions proposals are discussed and organic farming as one of them is used to develop decision criteria. Due to its involvement of all three dimensions of sustainable development, economic, social and environmental organic farming could be one possible approach to create a more sustainable agricultural system.
Modeling Mg II during Solar Flares. II. Non-equilibrium Effects

description: To extract the information that the Mg II NUV spectra (observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph; IRIS), carries about the chromosphere during solar flares, and to validate models of energy transport via model-data comparison, forward modelling is required. The assumption of statistical equilibrium is typically used to obtain the atomic level populations from snapshots of flare atmospheres, due to computational necessity. However it is possible that relying on statistical equilibrium could lead to spurious results. We compare solving the atomic level populations via statistical equilibrium versus a non-equilibrium time-dependent approach. This was achieved using flare simulations from RADYN alongside the minority species version, MS_RADYN, from which the time-dependent Mg II atomic level populations and radiation transfer were computed in complete frequency redistribution. The impacts on the emergent profiles, lightcurves, line ratios, and formation heights are discussed. In summary we note that non-equilibrium effects during flares are typically important only in the initial stages and for a short period following the cessation of the energy injection. An analysis of the timescales of ionisation equilibrium reveals that for most of the duration of the flare, when the temperatures and densities are sufficiently enhanced, the relaxation timescales are short ($τ_{\mathrm{relax}}<0.1$ s), so that the equilibrium solution is an adequate approximation. These effects vary with the size of the flare, however. In weaker flares effects can be more pronounced. We recommend that non-equilibrium effects be considered when possible, but that statistical equilibrium is sufficient at most stages of the flare.

Out of equilibrium dynamics of a Quantum Heisenberg Spin Glass

description: We study the out of equilibrium dynamics of the infinite range quantum Heisenberg spin glass model coupled to a thermal relaxation bath. The SU(2) spin algebra is generalized to SU(N) and we analyse the large-N limit. The model displays a dynamical phase transition between a paramagnetic and a glassy phase. In the latter, the system remains out of equilibrium and displays an aging phenomenon, which we characterize using both analytical and numerical methods. In the aging regime, the quantum fluctuation-dissipation relation is violated and replaced at very long time by its classical generalization, as in models involving simple spin algebras studied previously. We also discuss the effect of a finite coupling to the relaxation baths and their possible forms. This work completes and justifies previous studies on this model using a static approach.

Stochastic thermodynamics for self-propelled particles

description: We propose a generalization of stochastic thermodynamics to systems of active particles, which move under the combined influence of stochastic internal self-propulsions (activity) and a heat bath. The main idea is to consider joint trajectories of particles' positions and self-propulsions. It is then possible to exploit formal similarity of an active system and a system consisting of two subsystems interacting with different heat reservoirs and coupled by a non-symmetric interaction. The resulting thermodynamic description closely follows the standard stochastic thermodynamics. In particular, total entropy production, $Δs_\text{tot}$, can be decomposed into housekeeping, $Δs_\text{hk}$, and excess, $Δs_\text{ex}$, parts. Both $Δs_\text{tot}$ and $Δs_\text{hk}$ satisfy fluctuation theorems. The average rate of the steady-state housekeeping entropy production can be related to the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem via a Harada-Sasa relation. The excess entropy production enters into a Hatano-Sasa-like relation, which leads to a generalized Clausius inequality involving the change of the system's entropy and the excess entropy production. Interestingly, although the evolution of particles' self-propulsions is free and uncoupled from that of their positions, non-trivial steady-state correlations between these variables lead to the non-zero excess dissipation in the reservoir coupled to the self-propulsions.

description: Additional file 1. Final list of Delphi questionnaire items with mean scores and percentages. The Delphi questionnaire was established by translating the content of a pilot self-assessment instrument for diversity responsiveness in palliative care projects into a questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 33 items, subdivided into four sections. One section with three items on the groups included in the instrument’s focus and three sections with items on the measures from the pilot instrument according to the project stages: set-up; execution, and follow-up. The questionnaire was sent to a panel of experts who were asked to score the questionnaire items’ relevance and feasibility on a 5-point scale (1:not relevant/feasible; 5:entirely relevant/feasible). A priori set consensus rate of 75% were used, where at least 75% of the scores given by the experts should be 4 ≤ (relevance), or 3 ≤ (feasibility) in order to uphold the item in the instrument. Listed here are the final items, after revisions suggested by experts, the mean scores and consensus rate percentages.

description: We present singlet-Majoron couplings to Standard Model particles through two loops at leading order in the seesaw expansion, including couplings to gauge bosons as well as flavor-changing quark interactions. We discuss and compare the relevant phenomenological constraints on Majoron production as well as decaying Majoron dark matter. A comparison with standard seesaw observables in low-scale settings highlights the importance of searches for lepton-flavor-violating two-body decays $\ell \to \ell' +$Majoron in both the muon and tau sectors.

description: We study the differential branching ratio, branching ratio and the forward-backward asymmetry for the exclusive $B \to π\ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to ρ\ell^+ \ell^-$ decays in the general two Higgs doublet model including the neutral Higgs boson effects. We analyze the dependencies of these quantities on the neutral Higgs boson contributions and the other model parameters. We observe that two Higgs doublet model with the neutral Higgs boson exchanges gives quite sizable contributions to these observables for both channels we consider. Since the neutral Higgs boson exchanges are the only source of the forward-backward asymmetry for $B \to πτ^+ τ^-$ decay, which is at the order of magnitude $1-10%$, measurement of this observable is promising to determine the neutral Higgs boson effects.
