description: We investigate detailed balance for a quantum system interacting with thermal radiation within mixed quantum-classical theory. For a two-level system coupled to classical radiation fields, three semiclassical methods are benchmarked: (1) Ehrenfest dynamics over-estimate the excited state population at equilibrium due to the failure of capturing vacuum fluctuations. (2) The coupled Maxwell-Bloch equations, which supplement Ehrenfest dynamics by damping at the full golden rule rate, under-estimate the excited state population due to double-counting of the self-interaction effect. (3) Ehrenfest+R dynamics recover detailed balance and the correct thermal equilibrium by enforcing the correct balance between the optical excitation and spontaneous emission of the quantum system. These results highlight the fact that, when properly designed, mixed quantum-classical electrodynamics can simulate thermal equilibrium in the field of nanoplasmonics.

description: The thermoelectric properties of 54 different group 4 half-Heusler (HH) alloys have been studied from first principles. Electronic transport was studied with density functional theory using hybrid functionals facilitated by the $\mathbf{k} \cdot \mathbf{p}$ method, while the temperature dependent effective potential method was used for the phonon contributions to the figure of merit $ZT$. The phonon thermal conductivity was calculated including anharmonic phonon-phonon, isotope, alloy and grain-boundary scattering. HH alloys have an ${\it XYZ}$ composition and those studied here are in the group 4-9-15 (Ti,Zr,Hf)(Co,Rh,Ir)(As,Sb,Bi) and group 4-10-14 (Ti,Zr,Hf)(Ni,Pd,Pt)(Ge,Sn,Pb). The electronic part of the thermal conductivity was found to significantly impact $ZT$ and thus the optimal doping level. Furthermore, the choice of functional was found to significantly affect thermoelectric properties, particularly for structures exhibiting band alignment features. The intrinsic thermal conductivity was significantly reduced when alloy and grain boundary scattering were accounted for, which also reduced the spread in thermal conductivity. It was found that sub-lattice disorder on the ${\it Z}$-site, i.e. the site occupied by group 14 or 15 elements, was more effective than ${\it X}$-site substitution, occupied by group 4 elements. The calculations confirmed that ZrNiSn, ZrCoSb and ZrCoBi based alloys display promising thermoelectric properties. A few other n-type and p-type compounds were also predicted to be potentially excellent thermoelectric materials, given that sufficiently high charge carrier concentrations can be achieved. This study provides insight into the thermoelectric potential of HH alloys and casts light on strategies to optimize thermoelectric performance of multicomponent alloys.

Amplification, Saturation, and Q Thresholds for Runaway: Growth of Self-Gravitating Structures in Models of Magnetized Galactic Gas Disks

description: We investigate the susceptibility of gaseous, magnetized galactic disks to formation of self-gravitating condensations using two-dimensional, local models. We focus on two issues: (1) determining the threshold condition for gravitational runaway, taking into account nonlinear effects, and (2) distinguishing the magneto-Jeans instability (MJI) that arises under inner-galaxy rotation curves from the modified swing amplification (MSA) that arises under outer-galaxy rotation curves. For axisymmetric density fluctuations, instability is known to require a Toomre parameter Q<1. For nonaxisymmetric fluctuations, any nonzero shear $q \equiv -d\ln Ω/d \ln R$ winds up wavefronts such that in linear theory amplification saturates. Any Q threshold for nonaxisymmetric gravitational runaway must originate from nonlinear effects. We use numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations to demonstrate the anticipated threshold phenomenon, to analyze the nonlinear processes involved, and to evaluate the critical value $Q_c$ for stabilization. We find $Q_c \sim 1.2-1.4$ for a wide variety of conditions, with the largest values corresponding to nonzero but subthermal mean magnetic fields. Our findings for $Q_c$ are similar to those inferred from thresholds for active star formation in the outer regions of spiral galaxies. MJI is distinct from MSA in that opposition to Coriolis forces by magnetic tension, rather than cooperation of epicyclic motion with kinematic shear, enables nonaxisymmetric density perturbations to grow. We suggest that under low-shear inner-disk conditions, $Q_c$ will be larger than that in outer disks by a factor $\sim (v_A/q c_s)^{1/2}$, where $v_A$ and $c_s$ are the respective Alfven and sound speeds.

description: Many previous causal inference studies require no interference, that is, the potential outcomes of a unit do not depend on the treatments of other units. However, this no-interference assumption becomes unreasonable when a unit interacts with other units in the same group or cluster. In a motivating application, a top Chinese university admits students through two channels: the college entrance exam (also known as Gaokao) and recommendation (often based on Olympiads in various subjects). The university randomly assigns students to dorms, each of which hosts four students. Students within the same dorm live together and have extensive interactions. Therefore, it is likely that peer effects exist and the no-interference assumption does not hold. It is important to understand peer effects, because they give useful guidance for future roommate assignment to improve the performance of students. We define peer effects using potential outcomes. We then propose a randomization-based inference framework to study peer effects with arbitrary numbers of peers and peer types. Our inferential procedure does not assume any parametric model on the outcome distribution. Our analysis gives useful practical guidance for policy makers of the university.

description: Pulsar timing arrays are sensitive to gravitational wave perturbations produced by individual supermassive black hole binaries during their early inspiral phase. Modified gravity theories allow for the emission of gravitational dipole radiation, which is enhanced relative to the quadrupole contribution for low orbital velocities, making the early inspiral an ideal regime to test for the presence of modified gravity effects. Using a theory-agnostic description of modified gravity theories based on the parametrized post-Einsteinian framework, we explore the possibility of detecting deviations from General Relativity using simulated pulsar timing array data, and provide forecasts for the constraints that can be achieved. We generalize the {\tt enterprise} pulsar timing software to account for possible additional polarization states and modifications to the phase evolution, and study how accurately the parameters of simulated signals can be recovered. We find that while a pure dipole model can partially recover a pure quadrupole signal, there is little possibility for confusion when the full model with all polarization states is used. With no signal present, and using noise levels comparable to those seen in contemporary arrays, we produce forecasts for the upper limits that can be placed on the amplitudes of alternative polarization modes as a function of the sky location of the source.

description: In this paper, a comparative review is provided of the quality of EIA systems in 65 countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Furthermore, whether the quality of EIA systems is correlated with national GDP per capita in each country is explored. The review is carried out by means of an integrated EIA index (EIA Quality index – EQI). In developing the EQI, views and perceptions of experts were considered, based on Multi-Criteria-Decision-Analysis (MCDA). Results of the comparative evaluation indicate that there is great disparity between EIA systems in the 65 countries. Countries with existing challenges, such as poverty, civil war and institutional instability tend to achieve lower EQI scores. Finally, a positive (albeit weak) correlation is found between EQI scores and GDP per capita.

Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: The agricultural sector of the United States provides an enormous number of issues that require critical thought and evaluation, such as low farm prices, soil depletion, free trade agreements, food safety, rural depopulation, water quality, and farm subsidies. Individuals addressing these issues bring with them different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Often, these differences result in divergent and conflicting opinions on agricultural issues. The objective of this paper is to describe how critical evaluation of agricultural issues in the classroom can lead to greater comprehension, refinement of opinions and ideas, and a passion for lifelong learning. Class discussions and weekly writing assignments on agricultural issues can be used effectively to increase awareness and knowledge of the many perspectives that exist on agricultural issues. Challenging students to write an essay from a perspective different than their own, reading and evaluating a book that provides an "urban" perspective on agriculture, or interacting with an expert on sustainable agriculture can provide an exhilarating experience for many students. Knowledge concerning opposing sides of an issue provides a solid foundation for the development, reevaluation, and refinement of their own values and beliefs. The process of critical thinking about agricultural issues challenges students to become actively involved in lifelong learning. The challenge of understanding why individuals and groups have such widely divergent opinions on the same issue can provide a stimulating intellectual environment that students carry into their career and life. Ideas from and past experiences with a senior-level discussion course on critical thinking about agricultural issues are summarized and evaluated in this paper.

description: Neural network force field (NNFF) is a method for performing regression on atomic structure-force relationships, bypassing expensive quantum mechanics calculation which prevents the execution of long ab-initio quality molecular dynamics simulations. However, most NNFF methods for complex multi-element atomic systems indirectly predict atomic force vectors by exploiting just atomic structure rotation-invariant features and the network-feature spatial derivatives which are computationally expensive. We develop a staggered NNFF architecture exploiting both rotation-invariant and covariant features separately to directly predict atomic force vectors without using spatial derivatives, thereby reducing expensive structural feature calculation by ~180-480x. This acceleration enables us to develop NNFF which directly predicts atomic forces in complex ternary and quaternary-element extended systems comprised of long polymer chains, amorphous oxide, and surface chemical reactions. The staggered rotation-invariant-covariant architecture described here can also directly predict complex covariant vector outputs from local physical structures in domains beyond computational material science.

Improving the gamma-hadron separation for air showers at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory
Creators: name: Bontempo, Federico
name: For The IceCube Collaboration
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a unique experiment located at the geographic South Pole. It is composed of two detectors: an optical array deep in the ice and an array of ice-Cerenkov tanks at the surface called IceTop. The combination of the two detectors can be exploited for the study of cosmic rays and the search for PeV photons. In particular, the in-ice detector measures the high-energy muonic component of air showers, and the surface detector all shower component and can be used for the general shower reconstruction. The aim of this work in progress is to discriminate between photon initiated and cosmic ray initiated air showers. This discrimination is performed using a machine learning technique named Random Forest. This is a supervised machine learning technique that predicts unknown data after studying labeled data. The physics quantities used for this study are the charges measured by the in-ice detector, the zenith angle, a parameter that describes the in ice containment of the shower, the reconstructed energy and a likelihood estimator that captures both the presence of individual muons and charge fluctuations in the surface array.
 Furthermore, the planned enhancement of IceTop, comprised of surface radio antennas and scintillator panels, will contribute to the improvement of the gamma-hadron separation.

description: The present paper argues that the costs of climate change are primarily adjustment costs. The central result is that climate change will reduce welfare whenever it occurs more rapidly than the rate at which capital stocks (interpreted broadly to include natural resource stocks) would naturally adjust through market processes. The costs of climate change can be large even when lands are close to their climatic optimum, or evenly distributed both above and below that optimum.

description: Green Infrastructure (GI), such as rain gardens, trees or permeable pavement, can provide several ecosystem services, protect biodiversity and mitigate the impacts of climate change in urban settings. Using a combination of public surveys and interviews with experts, this research evaluates opportunities and constraints for GI to add value and assist place-making in public realm developments, which is of relevance to impact assessment. The research uses the unique Woodside area in Glasgow as a case study. The project, ‘Connecting Woodside’, is a first of its kind in Scotland and lessons learned can be applied elsewhere. The study found that, to effectively utilise GI to assist place-making and add value in public realm developments, community engagement is a key aspect in developing public spaces. One of the main reasons identified for this was that GI was highly location specific. Therefore, it is important to understand the needs and wants of a place and its communities. The study demonstrated that community ownership of certain project aspects relating to GI could be beneficial for all stakeholders.

We confirm the planet's existence with a direct detection of CO in the planet's atmosphere. We also calculate a mass of 11.6 M$_J$ based on the amplitude of its radial velocity variations. We estimate its flux contrast with its host star to get an absolute magnitude estimate for the planet of 8.17 in the K band. This magnitude implies the planet formed via a "hot start" formation mechanism. This makes CI Tau b the youngest confirmed exoplanet as well as the first exoplanet around a T Tauri star with a directly determined, model-independent, dynamical mass.

description: We study the transverse clustering properties of high matter density peaks as traced by high column density absorption systems (either Lyman limit systems characterized by N(HI)> 2 x 10^{17} cm^{-2} or CIV systems with W_{r}> 0.5 A) at redshifts between 2 and 3 with UVES spectra of two QSO pairs (UM680/UM681 at 56 arcsec angular separation and Q2344+1228/Q2343+1232 at 5 arcmin angular separation) and a QSO triplet (Q2139-4433/Q2139-4434/Q2138-4427 at 1, 7 and 8 arcmin angular separation). We find 3 damped Ly-alpha systems (N(HI)> 2 x 10^{20} cm^{-2}): 2 coinciding with strong metal systems in the nearby line of sight and 1 matching the emission redshift of the paired QSO; plus 7 Lyman limit systems: 4 forming two matching couples and 3 without a corresponding metal system within ~3000 km/s in the coupled line of sight. In summary, we detect five out of ten matching systems within 1000 km/s, indicating a highly significant overdensity of strong absorption systems over separation lengths from ~1 to 8 h^{-1} Mpc. The observed coincidences could arise in gas due to starburst-driven superwinds associated with a quasar or a galaxy, or gas belonging to large scale structures like filaments or sheets. We also determine chemical abundance ratios for three damped Ly-alpha systems. In particular, for the damped system at z ~ 2.53788 in the spectrum of Q2344+1228, new estimates of the ratios O/Fe, C/Fe are obtained: [C/Fe]<0.06, [O/Fe]<0.2. They indicate that O and C are not over-solar in this system.

description: We have investigated the effects of a non-thermal electron population on the ionization and recombination rates. The considered electron distribution is defined as a Maxwellian function below a break energy E_b and as a power-law function of index alpha above this energy. We have calculated the collisional (direct and excitation autoionization) ionization coefficient rates as well as the (radiative and dielectronic) recombination rates. Practical methods are given to calculate these rates in order to be easily included in a computer code. The ionization rates are very sensitive to the non-thermal electron population and can be increased by several orders of magnitude depending on the temperature and parameters of the power-law function (E_b and alpha). The non-thermal electrons have a much weaker effect on the (radiative and dielectronic) recombination rates. We have determined the mean electric charge of elements C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca, Fe and Ni for different values of the break energy and power-law index. The ionization balance is affected significantly, whereas the effect is smaller in ionizing plasmas.

description: The isothermal high temperature pneumoforming process to form tubes at constant elevated temperatures by means of internal pressure is investigated. Two materials, a ferritic (X2CrTiNb18) and a martensitic stainless steel (X12Cr13) are used for the investigations. The required material characterization is performed at the temperature and strain rate of the actual process. A new method for quantifying thermal softening via the time-dependent decrease in static yield stress is presented. At a temperature of 1000 °C, the static yield stress decreases by 50% within 100 s for both materials. The numerical models are validated on the basis of the formed geometry and used to study the influence of maximum internal pressure, axial feed, holding time under load and die edge length on the final part geometry. It was observed, that with higher internal pressures and longer holding times smaller corner radii are formed for both materials. In contrast, a superimposed axial feed as well as the effective friction coefficient have a negligible influence on the formed geometry. With an increasing die edge length, smaller radii are formed with the ferritic stainless steel numerically and experimentally. By contrast, for the martensitic stainless steel, larger radii are observed numerically. Experimentally, the limited formability of these tubes weld seam becomes apparent. Based on the findings, process windows depending on the process parameters internal pressure and die edge length were derived. Numerically, forming limit curves of tubular semi-finished products under comparable conditions serve as a failure criterion. Good agreement with experiments was observed.

description: In this paper, we consider a pressure-velocity formulation of the heterogeneous wave equation and employ the constraint energy minimizing generalized multiscale finite element method (CEM-GMsFEM) to solve this problem. The proposed method provides a flexible framework to construct crucial multiscale basis functions for approximating the pressure and velocity. These basis functions are constructed by solving a class of local auxiliary optimization problems over the eigenspaces that contain local information on the heterogeneity. Techniques of oversampling are adapted to enhance the computational performance. The first-order convergence of the proposed method is proved and illustrated by several numerical tests.

description: The present paper proposes that markets for nature conservation on private land are missing because of the problem of asymmetric information. An auction of conservation contracts was designed to reveal hidden information needed to facilitate meaningful transactions between landholders and government. The present paper describes the key elements of auction and contract design employed and the results obtained from a pilot auction of conservation contracts run in two regions of Victoria. The pilot demonstrated that it was possible to create at least the supply side of a market for nature conservation and in conjunction with a defined budget, prices were discovered and resources allocated through contracts with landholders. The present paper compares a discriminative price auction with a hypothetical fixed-price scheme showing that an auction could offer large cost savings to governments interested in nature conservation on private land. The paper identifies some important design problems that would need to be solved before auctions could be applied more broadly including: multiple complementary outcomes, reserve prices, sequential auction design and contract design. Nevertheless, the paper does show that auctioning conservation contracts for environmental outcomes is an important new policy mechanism that deserves closer examination.
The influence of the dechanneling process on the photon emission by an ultra-relativistc positron channeling in a periodically bent crystal

description: We investigate, both analytically and numerically, the influence of the dechanneling process on the parameters of undulator radiation generated by ultra-relativistic positron channelling along a crystal plane, which is periodically bent. The bending might be due either to the propagation of a transverse acoustic wave through the crystal, or due to the static strain as it occurs in superlattices. In either case the periodically bent crystal serves as an undulator which allows to generate X-ray and gamma-radiation. We propose the scheme for accurate quantitative treatment of the radiation in presence of the dechanneling. The scheme includes (i) the analytic expression for spectral-angular distribution which contains, as a parameter, the dechanneling length, (ii) the simulation procedure of the dechanneling process of a positron in periodically bent crystals. Using these we calculate the dechanneling lengths of 5 GeV positrons channeling in Si, Ge and W crystals, and the spectral-angular and spectral distributions of the undulator over broad ranges of the photons. The calculations are performed for various parameters of the channel bending.

description: Nitrogen (N) fertilizer demand in relation to economic and environmental risks associated with N-fertilizer management are examined. Both nominal and environmental damage-adjusted net returns distributions are evaluated using stochastic dominance analysis. Results suggest that, in the absence of environmental risk, N demand becomes more elastic as farmers become more risk averse. When environmental risk is introduced to the decision-making process, N demand becomes even more elastic.

Carbon Abundance Inhomogeneities and Deep Mixing Rates in Galactic Globular Clusters

description: Among stars in Galactic globular clusters the carbon abundance tends to decrease with increasing luminosity on the upper red giant branch, particularly within the lowest metallicity clusters. While such a phenomena is not predicted by canonical models of stellar interiors and evolution, it is widely held to be the result of some extra mixing operating during red giant branch ascent which transports material exposed to the CN(O)-cycle across the radiative zone in the stellar interior and into the base of the convective envelope, whereupon it is brought rapidly to the stellar surface. Here we present measurements of [C/Fe] abundances among 67 red giants in 19 globular clusters within the Milky Way. Building on the work of Martell et al., we have concentrated on giants with absolute magnitudes of $M_\mathrm{V} \sim -1.5$ within clusters encompassing a range of metallicity (-2.4 $

description: Quantum mechanical scattering theory is studied for time-dependent Schroedinger operators, in particular for particles in a rotating potential. Under various assumptions about the decay rate at infinity we show uniform boundedness in time for the kinetic energy of scattering states, existence and completeness of wave operators, and existence of a conserved quantity under scattering. In a simple model we determine the energy transfered to a particle by a collision with a rotating blade.

description: Land is a natural resource that is valued for many reasons. Farmers utilize land to earn their livelihood and as a store of wealth for future retirement. Potential rural residents have increasingly sought open space for a home site and pursuit of a lifestyle. Developers seek financial opportunities to invest in and develop it for non-farm uses. Recreational needs such as hunting are often met through use of land. For some, land is viewed as an investment and a hedge against inflation. This myriad of demands for land combined with its fixed supply continually alters its market price, which is a monetary measure of its perceived value.
