description: In view of late-time cosmic acceleration, a dark energy cosmological model is revisited wherein Einstein's cosmological constant is considered as a candidate of dark energy. Exact solution of Einstein field equations (EFEs) is derived in a homogeneous isotropic background in classical general relativity. The solution procedure is adopted, in a model independent way (or the cosmological parametrization). A simple parametrization of the Hubble parameter (H) as a function of cosmic time `t' is considered which produces an exponential type of evolution of the scale factor (a) and also shows a negative value of deceleration parameter at the present time with a signature flip from early deceleration to late acceleration. Cosmological dynamics of the model obtained have been discussed illustratively for different phases of the evolution of the universe. The evolution of different cosmological parameters are shown graphically for at and closed cases of Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) space-time for the presented model (open case is incompatible to the present scenario). We have also constrained our model parameters with the updated (36 points) observational Hubble dataset.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association of socioeconomic deprivation and racialised outcomes in competitive athletes with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in the USA. METHODS: SCA cases from the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research (July 2014 to June 2021) were included. We matched Area Deprivation Index (ADI) scores (17 metrics to grade socioeconomic conditions) to the 9-digit zip codes for each athlete's home address. ADI is scored 1-100 with higher scores indicating greater neighbourhood socioeconomic deprivation. Analysis of variance was used to assess differences in mean ADI by racial groups. Tukey post hoc testing was used for pairwise comparisons. RESULTS: 391 cases of SCA in competitive athletes (85.4% male; 16.9% collegiate, 68% high school, 10.7% middle school, 4.3% youth) were identified via active surveillance. 79 cases were excluded due to missing data (19 race, 60 ADI). Of 312 cases with complete data, 171 (54.8%) were white, 110 (35.3%) black and 31 (9.9%) other race. The mean ADI was 40.20 (95% CI 36.64, 43.86) in white athletes, 57.88 (95% CI 52.65, 63.11) in black athletes and 40.77 (95% CI 30.69, 50.86) in other race athletes. Mean ADI was higher in black versus white athletes (mean difference 17.68, 95% CI 10.25, 25.12; p=0.0036) and black versus other race athletes (mean difference 17.11, 95% CI 4.74, 29.47; p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Black athletes with SCA come from areas with higher neighbourhood socioeconomic deprivation than white or other race athletes with SCA. Our findings suggest that socioeconomic deprivation may be associated with racialised disparities in athletes with SCA.

description: Recent combined results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) provide a remarkable set of data which requires more accurate and general investigation. Here we derive formulae for the power spectrum P(k) of the density perturbations produced during inflation in the general slow-roll approximation with second order corrections. Also, using the result, we derive the power spectrum in the standard slow-roll picture with previously unknown third order corrections.

Real-Time Estimation of a Multi-Stage Centrifugal Compressor Performance Map Considering Real-Gas Processes and Flexible Operation

Subjects: subject: Systems and Control (eess.SY)
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: This paper contributes to modeling and supervision of multi-stage centrifugal compressors coping with real-gas processes and steady to highly transient operating conditions. A novel dynamic model is derived, and the incorporation of the generic Lee-Kesler-Plöcker real-gas equation of state and its derivatives is presented. The model allows for embedding arbitrarily shaped performance maps, based on state-of-the-art polytropic change-of-state compressor characteristics. As the validity of these maps is a key issue for simulation and model-based monitoring, performance maps are treated as time-variant, and their shape is to be identified and monitored during operation. The proposed real-time map estimation scheme comprises an Unscented Kalman Filter and a newly proposed algorithm, referred to as Recursive Map Estimation. The combination yields a novel parameter and state estimator, which is expected to be superior if some parameters are characterized by a distinct operating point dependency. Two additional time-variant parameters are provided for monitoring: The first indicates the level of confidence in the local estimate, and the second points to drastic performance map alterations, which may be further exploited in fault detection. A modified reference simulation of a two-stage supercritical carbon dioxide compressor with known state trajectories, performance maps, and alterations demonstrates the successful application of the entire monitoring scheme, and serves for a discussion of the results.

description: Monte Carlo simulation was used to examine the on-farm economics from adoption of Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) on four representative Alberta cropping farms. Adoption of shelterbelts, buffer strips, residue management, and the addition of annual and perennial forages, field peas, and oats in crop rotations were included as BMPs that contribute positively to Ecological Goods and Services production from agriculture. Results suggest positive on-farm benefits associated with perennial forage and field pea BMPs. Conversely, BMPs that reduce availability of land for cropping activities, such as shelterbelts and buffer strips, and BMPs that do not increase revenues, such as oats and annual forages in rotation, are costly to producers. The results presented and discussed in this report have important policy implications. Policy mechanisms that incorporate positive mechanisms may improve adoption of BMPs that are costly to producers, while extension mechanisms, such as information programs, may improve the adoption of economically feasible BMPs.
SiEUGreen - Deliverable 5.7 Establishment of Sustainability Working Group

description: The current Deliverable 5.7 – Establishment of Sustainability Working Group, provides an overview of the establishment of the SiEUGreen Sustainability Working Group (SWG). Its structure is realised on the vision of SiEUGreen project partners to guide the long-term sustainability to ensure showcase activities in partnership with local community stakeholders, private sector organisations and governmental partners, and promote concrete results, products and services beyond the end of the SiEUGreen project term (as to be developed within D5.4 Sustainability and Exploitation Plan – M30). In that sense, SWGs are groups of excellence and sustainability composed of key stakeholders from SiEUGreen project - showcase implementation teams - (core part), and local stakeholders and experts non-directly involved in the project. SWGs are formed as counseling bodies with a two-fold objective: i) primarily focus on supporting the sustainability of the concepts and results developed within the SiEUGreen showcases, in terms of their sustainability plans ii) boost the exploitation and replication of SiEUGreen results (with a special focus on strategies of the showcases, in terms of their exploitation plans). Due to the complexity and different characteristics of the showcases, the SWGs will have a showcase orientation, resulting in the establishment of SWGs per showcase. Apart from the showcase level SWGs an overarching group is set to support exchange across the showcases in terms of knowledge sharing and exploitation. The main activities will be realized within the overall duration of the showcases deployment in the form of activities to support engagement, dissemination and the realization of sustainability and exploitation plans of the showcases. The whole activity will be performed within Task 5.2 and the insights of the SWGs will be reported within the Deliverable D5.4 Sustainability and Exploitation Plan and D5.5 Business Plan. The document is structured in 5 chapters. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the objectives and the role of the SWG in the SiEUGreen project while Chapter 2 presents the implementation framework and activities of the SGW. The document continues with the SWGs composition in Chapter 3 and concludes with the planning for the SWG activities in the upcoming period in Chapter 4.

description: Quality policy is an integral part of the CAP and represents a useful instrument for promoting both the competitiveness of the agricultural system and the vitality of rural areas. With the “quality package”, changes are introduced in the normative framework of the PDO, PGI and TSG products, with the objective of answering to the needs of both producers, for sustainable profitability, and consumers, for a higher level of information and guarantees on the origin of products. Nevertheless, considering the magnitude of structural and socio-economic differences that mark quality production systems across Europe, the possibility of making the system capable of answering to the different needs still seems to be open.
Rating the performance of noisy teleportation using fluctuations in fidelity

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Quantum teleportation is one of the most pioneering features of the quantum world. Typically, the quality of a teleportation protocol is solely judged by its average fidelity. In this work, we analyze the performance of teleportation in terms of both fidelity and the deviation in fidelity. Specifically, we define a quantity called teleportability score, which incorporates contributions from both the fidelity and its deviation. It also takes into account the sensitivity one requires for a protocol in which the teleportation of a quantum state is required in one or many intermediate steps. We compute the teleportability score in the noiseless scenario and find that it increases monotonically with the entanglement content of the resource state. The result remains same even if we consider an n-chain repeater-like configuration. However, in the presence of noise, the teleportability score, can sometime display a nonmonotonic behaviour with respect to the entanglement content of the initially shared resource state. Specifically, under local bit-flip and bit-phase-flip noise, lesser entangled states can have higher teleportability score for certain choice of system parameters. In the presence of global depolarizing noise, for low entangled resource states and high sensitivity requirements, the noisy states can have better a teleportability score in comparison to the noiseless scenario.

description: In this letter we calculate the emission of gravity waves by the binary pulsar in the framework of five dimensional braneworlds. We consider only spacetimes with one compact extra-dimension. We show that the presence of additional degrees of freedom, especially the 'gravi-scalar' leads to a modification of Einstein's quadrupole formula. We compute the induced change for the binary pulsar PSR 1913+16 where it amounts to about 20% which is by far excluded by present experimental data.

description: Based on non-commercial forests in Kunming City, this article conducts survey of 506 households in Kunming City to evaluate their willingness to pay ecological benefit of non-commercial forests, using Contingent Valuation Method (CVM); to analyze factors influencing their willingness to compensate for non-commercial forests, using multivariate statistical analysis method. The results show that income, educational level, housing ownership, outdoor exercise time, whether to be concerned about environmental problems, frequency of obtaining forest-related information monthly and whether understanding non-commercial forests or not, are the most principal factors influencing willingness to pay.
Phase Space Correspondence between Classical Optics and Quantum Mechanics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper scrutinizes both the similarities and the differences between the classical optics and quantum mechanical theories in phase space, especially between the Wigner distribution functions defined in the respective phase spaces. Classical optics is able to provide an understanding of either the corpuscular or wave aspects of quantum mechanics, reflected in phase space through the classical limit of the quantum Wigner distribution function or the Wigner distribution function in classical optics, respectively. However, classical optics, as any classical theory, cannot mimic the wave-particle duality that is at the heart of quantum mechanics. Moreover, it is never enough underlined that, although the mathematical phase space formalisms in classical optics and quantum mechanics are very similar, the main difference between these theories, evidenced in the results of measurements, is as deep as it can get even in phase space. On the other hand, the phase space treatment allows an unexpected similar treatment of interference phenomena, although quantum and classical superpositions of wavefunctions and fields, respectively, have a completely different behavior. This similarity originates in the bilinear character of the Wigner distribution function in both quantum mechanics and classical optical wave theory. Actually, the phase space treatment of the quantum and classical wave theory is identical from the mathematical point of view, if the Planck constant is replaced by the wavelength of light. Even Wigner distribution functions of particular quantum states, such as the Schrodinger cat state, can be mimicked by classical optical means, but not the true quantum character, which resides in the probability significance of the wavefunction, in comparison to the physical realness of classical wave fields.

description: HCI is future-oriented by nature: it explores new human--technology interactions and applies the findings to promote and shape vital visions of society. Still, the visions of futures in HCI publications seem largely implicit, techno-deterministic, narrow, and lacking in roadmaps and attention to uncertainties. A literature review centered on this problem examined futuring and its forms in the ACM Digital Library's most frequently cited HCI publications. This analysis entailed developing the four-category framework SPIN, informed by futures studies literature. The results confirm that, while technology indeed drives futuring in HCI, a growing body of HCI research is coming to challenge techno-centric visions. Emerging foci of HCI futuring demonstrate active exploration of uncertainty, a focus on human experience, and contestation of dominant narratives. The paper concludes with insight illuminating factors behind techno-centrism's continued dominance of HCI discourse, as grounding for five opportunities for the field to expand its contribution to futures and anticipation research.

description: In this work, we develop a novel framework to measure the similarity between dynamic financial networks, i.e., time-varying financial networks. Particularly, we explore whether the proposed similarity measure can be employed to understand the structural evolution of the financial networks with time. For a set of time-varying financial networks with each vertex representing the individual time series of a different stock and each edge between a pair of time series representing the absolute value of their Pearson correlation, our start point is to compute the commute time matrix associated with the weighted adjacency matrix of the network structures, where each element of the matrix can be seen as the enhanced correlation value between pairwise stocks. For each network, we show how the commute time matrix allows us to identify a reliable set of dominant correlated time series as well as an associated dominant probability distribution of the stock belonging to this set. Furthermore, we represent each original network as a discrete dominant Shannon entropy time series computed from the dominant probability distribution. With the dominant entropy time series for each pair of financial networks to hand, we develop a similarity measure based on the classical dynamic time warping framework, for analyzing the financial time-varying networks. We show that the proposed similarity measure is positive definite and thus corresponds to a kernel measure on graphs. The proposed kernel bridges the gap between graph kernels and the classical dynamic time warping framework for multiple financial time series analysis. Experiments on time-varying networks extracted through New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) database demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

description: Since 1998, the national policies on chemical fertilizer in China have been concentrated in limiting price plus subsidizing, abolishing agricultural tax, giving direct subsidies to farmers, and other aspects. In order to analyze the impact of national policies on the consumption of chemical fertilizer, this article selects the consumption of chemical fertilizer per unit, chemical fertilizer price index and farmers' net income in different provinces during the period 1998-2007 as variables, to conduct regression analysis of chemical fertilizer expenditure function, and calculate the price elasticity and income elasticity of chemical fertilizer demand in different provinces over the decade based on the regression results. The results show that at present the basic consumption of chemical fertilizer for agricultural development in China is 0.35 t/hm2, and the consumption of chemical fertilizer is excessive in some provinces; the chemical fertilizer market has not been really established, and the price has little impact on demand. This indicates that the chemical fertilizer is essential for agricultural economic development, and it increases along with the increase of farmers' income; the intervention of the national policy in chemical fertilizer price is a fundamental reason for the rising demand for chemical fertilizer. This also to some extent indicates that the policy effect of merely using environmental taxes to change farmers' consumption of chemical fertilizer is limited; there is a need to transform the existing policies purely promoting agricultural economic development, toward giving different subsidies in accordance with whether the farmers' fertilization pattern is beneficial to the environment.

description: Objectives: This study sought to understand attitudes, behaviours and expectations regarding reproductive planning, infertility and motherhood among women living in Italy. Methods: Researchers conducted 55 in-depth interviews among 46 reproductive-aged women living in or around Florence, Italy, currently using the Italian health care system, and nine Italian health care professionals. Researchers used an expanded grounded theory approach to understand women's reproductive experiences, with the social-ecological model serving as a conceptual lens for data analyses. Results: Fertility care inadequacy and financial instability impacted participants' attitudes towards reproduction. Women's shifting roles and reduced marital salience prompted decisions to delay or forgo childbearing. For pregnant women and women with children, perceived postpartum challenges included employment discrimination, childrearing costs and variable paternal support. Some participants discussed increased parental responsibility sharing, but many noted lingering expectations that women prioritise motherhood above other pursuits. Conclusion: Findings provide insight into Italian women's reproductive attitudes and behaviours and the declining fertility rate in the current economic and social environment. Practical recommendations for policy and socio-cultural interventions should address reproductive barriers such as affordable childcare, improved fertility assistance, maternal employment protection, and better utilization of existing support structures.

description: Renal amyloidosis (RA) is a rare protein misfolding disorder that prompts progressive renal insufficiency. This study aimed to decipher proteomic changes in human sera to understand the pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms underlying the disease development, hence assisting in the diagnosis of RA. Serum proteomic analysis was performed using a gel-based approach followed by MALDI-TOF MS. RA patients with age and sex matched healthy volunteers were recruited from Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi, India. Proteome profiles of serum revealed eight differentially expressed proteins namely, Zinc finger protein 624, Protein FAM183A, Calcium-binding mitochondrial carrier protein Scamc-3, V-type proton ATPase 116 kDa subunit A isoforms 2, Protein TXNRD3NB, ATP – dependent RNA helicase, Troponin C and Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7. These proteins were reported first time in RA. The increased levels of MAP3K7 and TROPONIN C were validated by bio-layer interferometry and their diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by ROC curve analysis. The differentially expressed proteins were predominantly associated with vesicular trafficking, transcriptional regulation, metabolic processes, apoptotic process and mitochondrial metabolism. The results indicate that these proteomic signatures may be considered as potential molecular targets for RA diagnostics and therapeutics subject to validation on large sample size.

description: This is the reply to a comment by Andreas Aste [hep-th/0302103] on a previous article of mine in Can.J.Phys. The counter-arguments used by Aste utilize a mathematical limit without physical meaning. We still contend that in QCD, the particles ``gluons'' and ``quarks'' are merely artifacts of an approximation method (the perturbative expansion) and are simply absent in the exact theory.

description: We solve for Australia’s optimal export tax on wool using a computable general equilibrium model - an aggregated version of the Monash Model. A key aspect of the analysis is the way in which we model short-run and long-run compara- tive statics. As opposed to varying the Armington elasticity which measures the degree of substitutability between domestic and imported goods, we contrast the unrestricted movement of primary factors of production with a specific-factors representation. We find that while results are virtually unchanged for the range of Armington elasticity values we employ in our sensitivity analysis, the specific- factors specification has a significant impact on model results.

description: Visual perception is an important part of IoT technology, with advantages such as intuitive target detection, high imaging resolution, and large information content. It is challenging to use image sensors to image through a continuously fluctuating water-air interface (WAI). The images obtained in this way will suffer from severe refraction distortion, which will affect the observer's accurate recognition of the target. Reversing these distortions is an ill-posed problem, and the current restoration methods using high-resolution video streams are difficult to adapt to real-time observation scenes. This paper proposes a method for instantaneous distorted image restoration based on structured light and local fitting.Experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper can effectively eliminate the refraction distortion of instantaneous images, improve the visual effect of the image, and its performance is significantly better than the state-of-the-art methods.
A New Neutron Lifetime Experiment with Cold Neutron Beam Decay in Superfluid Helium-4

description: The puzzle remains in the large discrepancy between neutron lifetime measured by the two distinct experimental approaches -- counts of beta decays in a neutron beam and storage of ultracold neutrons in a potential trap, namely, the beam method versus the bottle method. In this paper, we propose a new experiment to measure the neutron lifetime in a cold neutron beam with a sensitivity goal of 0.1% or sub-1 second. The neutron beta decays will be counted in a superfluid helium-4 scintillation detector at 0.5 K, and the neutron flux will be simultaneously monitored by the helium-3 captures in the same volume. The cold neutron beam must be of wavelength $λ>16.5$ A to eliminate scattering with superfluid helium. A new precise measurement of neutron lifetime with the beam method of unique inherent systematic effects will greatly advance in resolving the puzzle.

description: The present Dissemination and Communication Plan (DaCP) introduces the SiEUGreen project dissemination and communication strategy and its implementation plan to be used by the consortium to ensure the high visibility, accessibility and promotion of the project and its results during the whole Implementation grant period. The current DaCP will also be a reference context for evaluating the impact of communication and dissemination activities and will be annually updated as the project progresses. To achieve the maximum possible impact of its activities and support and strengthen EU-China collaboration, SiEUGreen will emphasize on maximizing the effectiveness and space of its dissemination and communication activities. These specific activities will not only address the general public to raise awareness on the project since it is one of the main target groups (citizens), but also targets key stakeholders having a relevant role in the area of SiEUGreen Vision, Goals and Actions, undertaken by the project. The SiEUGreen project DaCP has been organized in various sections presenting the overall strategy, the objectives, the stakeholders, target groups and audiences, as well as the messages and all implementation activities.

description: We develop a new sampling method to estimate eigenvector centrality on incomplete networks. Our goal is to estimate this global centrality measure having at disposal a limited amount of data. This is the case in many real-world scenarios where data collection is expensive, the network is too big for data storage capacity or only partial information is available. The sampling algorithm is theoretically grounded by results derived from spectral approximation theory. We studied the problem on both synthetic and real data and tested the performance comparing with traditional methods, such as random walk and uniform sampling. We show that approximations obtained from such methods are not always reliable and that our algorithm, while preserving computational scalability, improves performance under different error measures.

description: Introduction: Despite widespread recognition of the opioid crisis, opioid overdose remains a common reason for Emergency Department (ED) utilization. Treatment for these patients after stabilization often involves the provision of information for outpatient treatment options. Ideally, an ED visit for overdose would present an opportunity to start treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) immediately. Although widely recognized as effective, opioid agonist therapy with methadone and buprenorphine commonly referred to as “medication-assisted therapy” but more correctly as “medication for addiction treatment” (MAT), can be difficult to access even for motivated individuals due to shortages of prescribers and treatment programs. Moreover, opioid agonist therapy may not be appropriate for all patients, as many patients who present after overdose are not opioid dependent. More treatment options are required to successfully match patients with diverse needs to an optimal treatment plan in order to avoid relapse. Naltrexone, a long-acting opioid antagonist, available orally and as a monthly extended-release intramuscular injection, may represent another treatment option. Methods: We conducted a literature search of MEDLINE and PubMed. We aimed to capture references related to naltrexone and is use as MAT for OUD, as well as manuscripts that discussed naltrexone in comparison toother agents used for MAT, opioid detoxification, and naltrexone metabolism. Our initial search logic returned a total of 618 articles. Following individual evaluation for relevance, we selected 65 for in-depthreview. Manuscripts meeting criteria were examined for citations meriting further review, leading to the addition of 30 manuscripts Conclusions: Here, we review the pharmacology of naltrexone as it relates to OUD, its history of use, and highlight recent studies and new approaches for use of the drug as MAT including its potential initiation after ED visit for opioid overdose.

description: The mixed phase of layered superconductors with no magnetic screening is studied through a partial duality analysis of the corresponding XY model in the presence of random pinning centers. Sufficiently weak Josephson coupling between adjacent layers results in an entangled vortex solid that exhibits weak superconductivity across layers. The corresponding vortex liquid state shows an inverted specific heat anomaly that is a precursor to the weak superconductor.
