Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: P-representability is a necessary and sufficient condition for separability of bipartite Gaussian states only for the special subset of states whose covariance matrix are $Sp(2,R)\otimes Sp(2,R)$ locally invariant. Although this special class of states can be reached by a convenient $Sp(2,R)\otimes Sp(2,R)$ transformation over an arbitrary covariance matrix, it represents a loss of generality, avoiding inference of many general aspects of separability of bipartite Gaussian states.

description: Poverty has remained to be the major development and policy challenge in Ethiopia. Studies indicate that poverty is higher in rural areas in all its measures. Since small holder agriculture is the mainstay of rural dwellers, policies of the country intended to give priority to increasing the productivity of agriculture to challenge rural poverty. Consequently, different strategies were put in place since the 1994 reform period. Under the growth and transformation plan, whose tenure has just come to an end, intensification (through adoption of agricultural technologies) and structural change were sought to bring about small holder ‘productivity revolution’ for a transformative growth in the sector and poverty reduction. Agricultural technology adoption is however limited in the country with greater geographical differences. We analyze smallholders’ propensity to and intensity of agricultural technology adoption in Amhara Regional State using Double-Hurdle Model to identify the relative importance of the factors that explain the underlying choice. A modest attempt is also made to link technology adoption to household welfare using matching techniques of impact evaluation. The study is based on the Ethiopian Socioeconomic Survey (ESS, 2013/14) data of the Living Standards Measurement Study. The results corroborate the importance of policy support schemes, input market and physical infrastructure, poverty [capacity] to explain agricultural technology adoption. Considerable evidence on the positive welfare impact of technology adoption is documented which entails a tenable link between technology adoption and poverty reduction. However, a comprehensive policy framework is needed to tackle the capacity and physical access constraints to promote agricultural technology adoption.
Skeleton as a probe of the cosmic web: the 2D case

description: We discuss the skeleton as a probe of the filamentary structures of a 2D random field. It can be defined for a smooth field as the ensemble of pairs of field lines departing from saddle points, initially aligned with the major axis of local curvature and connecting them to local maxima. This definition is thus non local and makes analytical predictions difficult, so we propose a local approximation: the local skeleton is given by the set of points where the gradient is aligned with the local curvature major axis and where the second component of the local curvature is negative. We perform a statistical analysis of the length of the total local skeleton, chosen for simplicity as the set of all points of space where the gradient is either parallel or orthogonal to the main curvature axis. In all our numerical experiments, which include Gaussian and various non Gaussian realizations such as χ^2 fields and Zel'dovich maps, the differential length is found within a normalization factor to be very close to the probability distribution function of the smoothed field. This is in fact explicitly demonstrated in the Gaussian case. This result might be discouraging for using the skeleton as a probe of non Gausiannity, but our analyses assume that the total length of the skeleton is a free, adjustable parameter. This total length could in fact be used to constrain cosmological models, in CMB maps but also in 3D galaxy catalogs, where it estimates the total length of filaments in the Universe. Making the link with other works, we also show how the skeleton can be used to study the dynamics of large scale structure.

description: In Ethiopia, agricultural markets are characterized by seasonal price fluctuations as price seasonality is a fact of life in any agrarian production system. Prices of Agricultural crops typically fall immediately after harvest and rise gradually thereafter until the next harvest. This study was conducted to analyze the factors that dictate farmers to sell their produces immediately after harvest and thereby create price fluctuations. The study used household survey data to estimate Tobit model for the propensity and intensity to sell crops immediately after harvest. The econometric result indicates that education of head of household, number of markets, input cost, labor cost, and credit are found to affect quantity and intensity of early sale positively while family size and technology use affect intensity and propensity to sell early negatively.
Electrostatic Contribution to the Persistence Length of a Semiflexible Dipolar Chain

description: We investigate the electrostatic contribution to the persistence length of a semiflexible polymer chain whose segments interact via a screened Debye-H\" uckel dipolar interaction potential. We derive the expressions for the renormalized persistence length on the level of a 1/D-expansion method already successfully used in other contexts of polyelectrolye physics. We investigate different limiting forms of the renormalized persistence length of the dipolar chain and show that in general it depends less strongly on the screening length than in the context of a monopolar chain. We show that for a dipolar chain the electrostatic persistence length in the same regime of the parameter phase space as the original Odijk-Skolnick-Fixman (OSF) form for a monopolar chain depends logarithmically on the screening length rather than quadratically. This can be understood solely on the basis of a swifter decay of the dipolar interactions with separation compared to the monopolar electrostatic interactions. We comment also on the general contribution of higher multipoles on the electrostatic renormalization of the bending rigidity.

description: The gauge glass in dimensions 3 and 4 is studied using a variety of numerical methods, in order to obtain accurate and reliable values for the critical parameters. Detailed comparisons are made of the sensitivity of the different techniques to corrections to finite-size scaling, which are generally the major source of systematic error in such measurements. For completeness we also present results in two dimensions. The variation of the critical exponents with space dimension is compared to results in Ising spin glasses.

description: This work proposes a fault injection methodology where Hardware Description Language (HDL) code slicing is exploited to prune fault injection locations, thus enabling more efficient campaigns for safety mechanisms evaluation. In particular, the dynamic HDL slicing technique provides for a highly collapsed critical fault list and allows avoiding injections at redundant locations or time-steps. Experimental results show that the proposed methodology integrated into commercial tool flow doubles the simulation speed when comparing to the state-of-the-art industrial-grade EDA tool flows.

description: Although recent data collection have revealed a large and diverse universe of non-tariff measures (NTMs), identification and quantification of these measures remain elusive. While much has been written on the subject, the extant literature has been unable to effectively diagnose the most critical areas of NTM concern, sorting out how and to what extent the trade effects vary across different types of measures, and the development of a suitable framework to address these policies in multilateral and regional trade arenas. The purpose of this paper is to shed new light on the landscape of sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures affecting agri-food trade by exploiting detailed information from the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) SPS committee meeting minutes on specific trade concerns (STCs) as a way to ‘reveal’ major cross-cutting NTM concerns faced by exporters. We catalogue the nature and duration of these measures across countries, products and specific classes of NTMs for the period 1995-2014. Our analysis indicates that developed countries play a significant role notifying specific concerns, although developing country notifications are on the rise. The results suggest that the WTO’s SPS trade concern discussion mechanism may facilitate the resolution of SPS concerns, with success often depending on the type of concern and the participation of Members as raising the issue or maintaining the measure. While most SPS concerns are resolved, the distribution of concerns exhibits sharp peaks and heavy right tails with some concerns lasting more than a decade. Animal diseases and tolerances are identified as recurring concerns in meat and fruit and vegetable trade, respectively, with concerns related to testing and quarantine, customs and administration procedures, certification and import permits also on the rise. A first-pass empirical assessment indicates that SPS concerns impart significant reductions to Members’ agricultural exports. While the SPS trade effects are heterogeneous across types of measures, countries maintaining or raising the measure, and the product sectors considered, they are consistently negative and strikingly large in magnitude, even for some of the largest countries in global agri-food trade. Thus, the analysis and results have important policy implications in terms of targeting SPS areas for discussion.
The Multiphase Intergalactic Medium towards PKS 2155-304

description: We study the cluster of H I and O VI absorption systems and the claimed detection of O VIII absorption from the intergalactic medium at z ~ 0.0567, associated with a group of galaxies toward the BL Lac object PKS 2155-304. As measured by spectrographs on the Hubble Space Telescope, Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer, and Chandra, this system appears to contain gas at a variety of temperatures. We analyze this multi-phase gas in a clumpy-infall model. From the absence of C IV and Si III absorption in the Ly-alpha clouds, we infer metallicities less than 2.5-10% of solar values. The only metals are detected in two O VI absorption components, offset by +/- 400 km/s from the group barycenter (cz ~ 16,600 km/s). The O VI components may signify "nearside" and "backside" infall into the group potential well, which coincides with the claimed O VIII absorption. If the claimed O VIII detection is real, our analysis suggests that clusters of strong Ly-alpha and O VI absorbers, associated with groups of galaxies, may be the "signposts" of shock-heated, metal-enriched baryons. Through combined UV and X-ray spectra of H I and O VI, O VII, and O VIII, one may be able to clarify the heating mechanism of this multiphase gas.

Review of Tertiary Gambier Limestone aquifer properties, lower South-East, South Australia
Creators: name: Mustafa, Saad

Publisher: name: Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation, Adelaide, SA
Year: 2002

description: Transmissivity and storage coefficients are important properties in the characterisation of aquifers. Transmissivities and storage coefficients have been calculated from aquifer test programs for all known wells from the Tertiary Limestone Aquifer in the Lower South-East and located within the study area. The Tertiary Limestone Aquifer consists of the Gambier Limestone in the Gambier Basin. Transmissivity and specific yield data for the Tertiary Limestone Aquifer (unconfined aquifer) were collated and examined for their reliability. Most of the reported data were of low reliability. Limited data was collected from aquifer tests using one or more observation wells. Some of the observation wells were completed within different intervals from that of the production well. Therefore the specific yield values obtained were rated ‘low’ reliability. Specific capacity data are usually more abundant than aquifer test data and is used as a measure of the productivity of a well. An empirical relationship was established between transmissivity values calculated from aquifer tests and their related specific capacity data. The resulting best-fit line is T = 3.95 x SC0.89 with R2 = 82.

description: The discovery of the high-ionization [Ne V] 3426A emission line in the spectrum of the blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy Tol 1214-277 is reported. The detection of this line implies the presence of intense ionizing X-ray emission with a luminosity in the range 10^39-10^40 erg/s. Such a high X-ray luminosity cannot be reproduced by models of massive stellar populations. Other mechanisms, such as fast shocks or accretion of gas in high-mass X-ray binaries need to be invoked to account for the high intensity of the [Ne V] 3426A emission line.

Hydrogeological report on water well monitoring in Aboriginal lands to May 2002

Year: 2002

description: Water well monitoring data from wells on Aboriginal lands (Pitjantjatjara, Yalata, Nepabunna and Oak Valley) are summarised for the period April 2001 to May 2002. This report also shows plots and analysis of all data for each well since monitoring began. In the Pitjantjatjara lands aquifers at all communities except Kalka, Mimili and Fregon showed significant recharge and water levels have recovered to, or are above, the levels recorded at the time of drilling. The three exceptions are probably extensive aquifers that have generally been free from signs of depletion. The only community for which there is any short term (5-10 years) concern is Indulkana. Whilst there was recharge to the older wells, the community now relies on the Indulkana Range wells for a larger portion of its water supply. The aquifer in which these wells is completed was not recharged and water levels are declining. At Nepabunna supplies are still marginal and the heavy pumping regime has made monitoring insensitive to small but possibly significant changes. Modification of the monitoring is required, preferably with separate monitoring wells. The Yalata aquifer is unaffected by pumping, but the groundwater level appears to be declining by natural drainage. No recharge is observed. Oak Valley supplies have held up remarkably well, but are still regarded as fragile. Stringent water management is essential if the additional costs of importing water are to be avoided.

description: Farm failure rates in the U. S. reached historic heights in the inter-war years. We estimate the dynamic relationship between farm earnings and farm failures and assess the effectiveness of government intervention - state farm foreclosure moratoria, an expanded federal role in farm mortgage lending, and the programs instituted under the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. Our empirical results indicate that the influence of past earnings on farm failures is important and complex. Our counterfactual estimates of a world without government programs suggest that government intervention saved about two hundred thousand farms from failure.

description: The interatomic exchange interactions and Curie temperatures in Ni-based full Heusler alloys Ni2MnX with X=Ga, In, Sn and Sb are studied within the framework of the density-functional theory. The calculation of the exchange parameters is based on the frozen-magnon approach. Despite closeness of the experimental Curie temperatures for all four systems their magnetism appeared to differ strongly. This difference involves both the Mn-Mn and Mn-Ni exchange interactions. The Curie temperatures, Tc, are calculated within the mean-field approximation by solving a matrix equation for a multi-sublattice system. Good agreement with experiment for all four systems is obtained. The role of different exchange interactions in the formation of Tc of the systems is discussed.

description: This paper employs new Food Guide Pyramid servings data to measure how food intake is affected by income, food stamps, and WIC. The analysis uses a maximum likelihood estimator that combines the seemingly unrelated regression and one-way error component models, to account for two types of intra-household correlations. The empirical results show that participation in the Food Stamp Program leads to higher intakes of meats, dairy group servings, added sugars, and total fats. Participation in the WIC program leads to diets with decreased intakes of added sugars. Additionally, the estimation of intake correlations across household members and across food groups, provides a tool that can help guide nutrition education efforts.

description: We show that the commonly used lowest-order theory of phonon-phonon interactions frequently fails to accurately describe the anharmonic phonon decay rates and thermal conductivity ($κ$), even among strongly bonded crystals. Applying a first principles theory that includes both the lowest-order three-phonon and the higher-order four-phonon processes to seventeen zinc blende semiconductors, we find that the lowest-order theory drastically overestimates the measured $κ$ for many of these materials, while inclusion of four-phonon scattering gives significantly improved agreement with measurements. We have identified new selection rules on three-phonon processes that help explain many of these failures in terms of anomalously weak anharmonic phonon decay rates predicted by the lowest-order theory competing with four-phonon processes. We also show that zinc blende compounds containing boron (B), carbon (C) or nitrogen (N) atoms have exceptionally weak four-phonon scattering, much weaker than in compounds that do not contain B, C or N atoms. This new understanding helps explain the ultrahigh $κ$ in several technologically important materials like cubic boron arsenide, boron phosphide and silicon carbide. At the same time, it not only makes the possibility of achieving high $κ$ in materials without B, C or N atoms unlikely, but it also suggests that it may be necessary to include four-phonon processes in many future studies. Our work gives new insights into the nature of anharmonic processes in solids and demonstrates the broad importance of higher-order phonon-phonon interactions in assessing the thermal properties of materials.

description: In the present paper, we define a notion of numerical equivalence on Chow groups or Grothendieck groups of Noetherian local rings, which is an analogue of that on smooth projective varieties. Under a mild condition, it is proved that the Chow group modulo numerical equivalence is a finite dimensional ${\Bbb Q}$-vector space, as in the case of smooth projective varieties. Numerical equivalence on local rings is deeply related to that on smooth projective varieties. For example, if Grothendieck's standard conjectures are true, then a vanishing of Chow group (of local rings) modulo numerical equivalence can be proven. Using the theory of numerical equivalence, the notion of numerically Roberts rings is defined. It is proved that a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of positive characteristic is a numerically Roberts ring if and only if the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of a maximal primary ideal of finite projective dimension is always equal to its colength. Numerically Roberts rings satisfy the vanishing property of intersection multiplicities. We shall prove another special case of the vanishing of intersection multiplicities using a vanishing of localized Chern characters.

Das Quartär im Untergrund der Deutschen Bucht (Nordsee)
Creators: name: Sindowski, Karl-Heinz
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1970

description: Die im deutschen Nordseegebiet abgeteuften Flachbohrungen erbrachten eine Schichtfolge, die vom Holozän bis ins Elster-Glazial reicht. Aus dem Verlauf der Basis-Isobathen der einzelnen Quartär-Schichten wird eine „Nordwestsenke" ersichtlich, die sich von der Elbmündung — südlich an Helgoland vorbeilaufend — nach NW erstreckt. Diese herzynisch verlaufende Senke ist ein epirogener Senkungsraum, dessen Senkungstendenz sich bis ins Quartär fortsetzte.

description: Das Problem der Blattspitzen, die verschiedentlich schon in einem technisch hochentwickelten Acheuléen auftreten, ist augenblicklich ein akutes Thema der prähistorischen Wissenschaft. Ihr Aussehen läßt in der Tat vermuten, daß es sich hierbei um eventuelle Vorläufer der Typen des Solutréen handelt. Diese Industrieformen tauchen in gewissen Zentren auf, die vielleicht am Ursprung der Solutréencivilisation stehen. Da aber bis heute noch keine direkte Ableitung mit Sicherheit hat herausgestellt werden können, verdienen alle weiteren Auskünfte zusammengetragen und zur Kenntnis gebracht zu werden. Diesbezügliche Beobachtungen sind vor kurzem in stratigraphisch eindeutiger Lage im Tal der Aisne (Frankreich) — Abb. 5 — gemacht worden sowie ein interessanter Fund im südlichen Luxemburg (Gutland) — Abb. 1. Diese verhältnismäßig schmalen, langgezogenen Formen scheinen den südlichen Typen (Var) näher zu stehen als den aus Zentraleuropa bekannten Beispielen (Bayern, Tschechoslovakei).

description: We develop a formalism to compute the statistics of the second largest eigenpair of weighted sparse graphs with $N\gg 1$ nodes, finite mean connectivity and bounded maximal degree, in cases where the top eigenpair statistics is known. The problem can be cast in terms of optimisation of a quadratic form on the sphere with a fictitious temperature, after a suitable deflation of the original matrix model. We use the cavity and replica methods to find the solution in terms of self-consistent equations for auxiliary probability density functions, which can be solved by an improved population dynamics algorithm enforcing eigenvector orthogonality on-the-fly. The analytical results are in perfect agreement with numerical diagonalisation of large (weighted) adjacency matrices, focussing on the cases of random regular and Erdős-Rényi graphs. We further analyse the case of sparse Markov transition matrices for unbiased random walks, whose second largest eigenpair describes the non-equilibrium mode with the largest relaxation time. We also show that the population dynamics algorithm with population size $N_P$ does not actually capture the thermodynamic limit $N\to\infty$ as commonly assumed: the accuracy of the population dynamics algorithm has a strongly non-monotonic behaviour as a function of $N_P$, thus implying that an optimal size $N_P^\star=N_P^\star(N)$ must be chosen to best reproduce the results from numerical diagonalisation of graphs of finite size $N$.

description: This study examines the impact of food label use on diet quality of Americans. Using an endogenous switching regression model, results indicate that label use improves diet quality by as much 14 points on a 100 point Healthy Eating Index scale. The analysis also was conducted for each type of information contained on the labels: list of ingredients, nutrient content health claims, nutritional panel, serving size, and health benefit statements. Use of health benefit statements on food labels provides the highest level of improvement in diet quality.
On-site Coulomb interaction and the magnetism of (GaMn)N and (GaMn)As

description: We use the local density approximation (LDA) and LDA+U schemes to study the magnetism of (GaMn)As and (GaMn)N for a number of Mn concentrations and varying number of holes. We show that for both systems and both calculational schemes the presence of holes is crucial for establishing ferromagnetism. For both systems, the introduction of $U$ increases delocalization of the holes and, simultaneously, decreases the p-d interaction. Since these two trends exert opposite influences on the Mn-Mn exchange interaction the character of the variation of the Curie temperature (T$_C$) cannot be predicted without direct calculation. We show that the variation of T$_C$ is different for two systems. For low Mn concentrations we obtain the tendency to increasing T$_C$ in the case of (GaMn)N whereas an opposite tendency to decreasing T$_C$ is obtained for (GaMn)As. We reveal the origin of this difference by inspecting the properties of the densities of states and holes for both systems. The main body of calculations is performed within a supercell approach. The Curie temperatures calculated within the coherent potential approximation to atomic disorder are reported for comparison. Both approaches give similar qualitative behavior. The results of calculations are related to the experimental data.

Zur Deutung eines neuentdeckten interglazialen Seeton-Vorkommens im Berchtesgadener Land
Creators: name: Pichler, Hans
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1960

description: Es wird die Ansicht von Ganss (1953), die Höhenlage eines von ihm aufgefundenen Seeton-Vorkommens in 870 m NN setze eine gewaltige (350 m mächtige) interglaziale Zuschüttung des Berchtesgadener Talkessels voraus, diskutiert. Die Vorstellung von Ganss schließt — ableitbar aus der interglazialen Morphologie — zwangsläufig ähnliche gewaltige Verschüttungen des benachbarten Salzach-Tales und des Reichenhaller Beckens ein. Das Fehlen von Resten solcher mächtiger Schotterdecken muß gegen die GANSS'sche Deutung sprechen. Das lokale Seeton-Vorkommen ist als Ablagerung eines kleinen Karsees innerhalb des früheren Karraumes der „Resten" zu deuten.

title: The experience of osteoarthritis in older adults
Creators: name: Alwan, Claire
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: Aims:

 This study aims to explore the experience of osteoarthritis (OA) in older adults, drawing on concepts from the literature on chronic illness including social-cognition models (e.g. Self-Regulatory Model) and cognitive concepts (e.g. self-schema).

 Design and Participants:

 A qualitative research design and Phenomenological Interpretative Analysis Methodology were used. Sixteen participants were interviewed. Ten were recruited from an orthopaedic surgical waiting list source and six from a GP source: age ranged from 67 to 79 years, and history of osteoarthritis ranged from one to 35 years.

 Measures:

 A semi-structured interview schedule was designed and piloted, based on the research literature.

 Results:

 Analysis identified the following themes: Demands of OA (pain, impact on activity, and impact on mood); Perceptions ofOA (onset/deterioration, cause, label, seriousness, prognosis); Strategies to manage OA (use of health services, changes in behaviour, psychological strategies, appraisal of strategies); Perception of Self (compared to past/future/others) and Contextual factors (age, co-morbidity, waiting list). Links between themes were reciprocal, and a tentative model ofOA is presented.

 Implications:

 A comprehensive model of the experience of chronic illness could provide a framework to guide interventions for direct clinical interventions (e.g. adjustment to chronic illness, pain management, identification of psychological comorbidity) and indirect interventions (e.g. consultancy with other health professionals).
Integrability of two-loop dilatation operator in gauge theories

description: We study the two-loop dilatation operator in the noncompact SL(2) sector of QCD and supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with N=1,2,4 supercharges. The analysis is performed for Wilson operators built from three quark/gaugino fields of the same helicity belonging to the fundamental/adjoint representation of the SU(3)/SU(N_c) gauge group and involving an arbitrary number of covariant derivatives projected onto the light-cone. To one-loop order, the dilatation operator inherits the conformal symmetry of the classical theory and is given in the multi-color limit by a local Hamiltonian of the Heisenberg magnet with the spin operators being generators of the collinear subgroup of full (super)conformal group. Starting from two loops, the dilatation operator depends on the representation of the gauge group and, in addition, receives corrections stemming from the violation of the conformal symmetry. We compute its eigenspectrum and demonstrate that to two-loop order integrability survives the conformal symmetry breaking in the aforementioned gauge theories, but it is violated in QCD by the contribution of nonplanar diagrams. In SYM theories with extended supersymmetry, the N-dependence of the two-loop dilatation operator can be factorized (modulo an additive normalization constant) into a multiplicative c-number. This property makes the eigenspectrum of the two-loop dilatation operator alike in all gauge theories including the maximally supersymmetric theory. Our analysis suggests that integrability is only tied to the planar limit and it is sensitive neither to conformal symmetry nor supersymmetry.

The energy scale of inflation: is the hunt for the primordial B-mode a waste of time?

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Recent theoretical results indicate that the detection of primordial gravity waves from inflation may be a hopeless task. First, foregrounds from lensing put a strict lower limit on the detectability of the B-mode polarization signal in the Cosmic Microwave Background, the ``smoking gun'' for tensor (gravity wave) fluctuations. Meanwhile, widely accepted theoretical arguments indicate that the amplitude of gravity waves produced in inflation will be below this limit. I argue that failure is not inevitable, and that the effort to detect the primordial signal in the B-mode, whether it succeeds or fails, will yield crucial information about the nature of inflation.
