description: Particle detectors are an ubiquitous tool for probing quantum fields in the context of relativistic quantum information (RQI). We formulate the Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) particle detector model in terms of the path integral formalism. The formulation is able to recover the results of the model in general globally hyperbolic spacetimes and for arbitrary detector trajectories. Integrating out the detector's degrees of freedom yields a line defect that allows one to express the transition probability in terms of Feynman diagrams. Inspired by the light-matter interaction, we propose a gauge invariant detector model whose associated line defect is related to the derivative of a Wilson line. This is another instance where nonlocal operators in gauge theories can be interpreted as physical probes for quantum fields.

description: In an attempt to determine the lost of production of apples and pears in the Batlow district, several orchardists in the district kept detailed records of time, labour and materials used in the production of their fruit during the seasons 1944-45 and 1945-46. Results for the first year for nine farms have already been published and results for the following season, together with a comparison of costs for two years, are set out in this article. For the 1945-46 season seven of the original nine farmers continued to participate in the scheme. It is not proposed to describe the method used in recording and analysing the production costs. A description and discussion of the method used appears in detail in the article referred to above. Results for the 1945-46 season have been calculated on a similar basis with one exception. Cost of cases used in harvesting and transporting the fruit to the Packing House has been calculated on a different basis, which is described later. For comparison of the two years, cost figures for 1944-45 have been adjusted.

description: Scalar theory of quantum electron beam optics, at the single-particle level, derived from the Dirac equation using a Foldy-Wouthuysen-like transformation technique is considered. Round magnetic electron lenses with Glaser and power law models for the axial magnetic field $B(z)$ are studied. Paraxial quantum propagator for the Glaser model lens is obtained in terms of the well known fundamental solutions of its paraxial equation of motion. In the case of lenses with the power law model for $B(z)$ the well known fundamental solutions of the paraxial equations, obtained by solving the differential equation, are constructed using the Peano-Baker series also. Quantum mechanics of aberrations is discussed briefly. Role of quantum uncertainties in aberrations, and in the nonlinear part of the equations of motion for a nonparaxial beam, is pointed out. The main purpose of this article is to understand the quantum mechanics of electron beam optics though the influence of quantum effects on the optics of present-day electron beam devices might be negligible.

description: Farmers are showing increasing interest in promotion and advertising. Public statements by various farm groups calling for increased expenditure on advertising are all characterized by the certainty with which a desirable return from advertising is anticipated. In view of this it seems opportune to consider some of the broader aspects involved in the successful advertising of primary products. The purpose of this discussion is not to attempt to prove or disprove the value of advertising, but rather to review thc factors which may determine the succes, or failure of advertising a particular product; to indicate the nature of the information necessary to enable an evaluation of the return from different types of advertising; and to discuss possible techniques for estimating the desirable amount of advertising in various situations. The discussion is relevant to most agricultural products which may be advertised, but particular emphasis is given to wool in view of the large programme planned for that product. It is not intended to discuss the competition between wool and other fibres, except as it relates to the proposition to advertise wool. Also it is recognized that advertising cannot solve problems of price stability, though it may have some indirect effects on prices, and that this must remain a separate problem.
Negotiating restoration : integrating knowledges on the Alouette River, British Columbia
Creators: name: Vanderwal, Jim Henry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Multi-stakeholder based planning processes have been used extensively in British Columbia for land-use planning, and have now begun to be applied to water through the new Water Use Planning (WUP) Program. The WUP Program is designed to create a better balance between the multiple uses of water (power generation, fisheries, flood control, recreation, etc.) at BC Hydro's water control facilities around the province. A pilot process was carried out to develop the Alouette Water Use Plan (AWUP) before the Program was established. The AWUP process combined public involvement tools such as facilitation, education, and group decision making, with decision analysis tools for structuring the problem. While the AWUP process has been widely regarded as successful, it is valuable to examine the lessons learned in the Alouette experience before developing Water Use Plans at other facilities. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the Alouette Water Use Planning process from the perspective of its participants. A framework is developed for assessing multistakeholder processes, in terms of their ability to involve participants in both policy making and knowledge generation. This framework is applied to the AWUP process, using interviews with participants as the primary source of data. The results provide insight into the merits of structure and participant control in the development of multistakeholder processes, and into the factors that affect the public's understanding of technical information. Key strengths of the AWUP process include involvement of a wide range of stakeholders, sharing of key information, implementation of the plan after agreement was reached, and an adaptive approach to ongoing management. Key weaknesses include the failure to recognize pre-existing community organizations, resistance to involving the public in technical studies, inadequate sensitivity to cultural differences, and limited means for remaining accountable to the broader public. Recommendations are made for improving individual water use planning processes, information development processes, and the overall water use planning policy.

Without prompt treatment, peritonitis can cause death. Appendicitis occurs when swollen lymph nodes in the appendix wall due to gastrointestinal infections or any mean in the body or blockage of the lumen of the appendix due to bacteria that interact within it, causing it to enlarge and its inflammation. The data collected was studied at Ramadi teaching hospital from 600 patients, of whom 400 underwent a conventional appendectomy, and 200 patients were treated with laparoscopy and it was called by this name, the removal of this existing appendix Near the area where the small intestine and the large intestine connects in the human body, which ranges from 5 meters in length To 11 cm does not cause complications and harm to the body, which means that it has no role ,The appendix can be removed using two different techniques Laparoscopic surgery It is the most common technique in which a surgeon performs three or four incisions Small incisions (incisions) in the abdomen and the appendix is removed from a small camera known as an endoscope Using special surgical tools , The surgeon then sutures the large intestine, which was the appendix Adhesive tapes are attached to them and seal the cracks with steri-strips and The second technique is open surgery (a few the surgeon cuts the right abdomen, and cuts a small lower abdomen the appendix removes the appendix through it and then bandages the wound with strips-steri

description: Deliverable 5.1 presents a review of the extant theoretical and empirical literature on the issues associated with the development of the six modules, namely policy impact assessment, socioeconomic impacts of agriculture and its integration in rural society, environmental and climatic impacts of agriculture, ecosystem services, agricultural output and input markets and their linkages, and agricultural land markets modules, which will be developed in Task 5.2 to 5.7 of the AGRICORE Project. The domains of analysis of these modules account for the many external factors which affect a farmer's decision-making process and which enrich the results of agricultural policy assessment by means of a farm-level Agent-Based Model like the one to be developed in the AGIRCORE Project.The review of this ample extant literature has highlighted the increased reliance on both farmlevel (or highly disaggregated) data and models which allow for a more granular representation of farmers' behavior in response also to very targeted policy measures, such as those of Pillar II of the Common Agricultural Policy. The review has provided the AGRICORE partners involved in the development of the six modules interacting with the ABM model (WP3) with the information from the previous modeling efforts which will allow for exploring which gaps can be filled by an ambitious, yet realistic, endeavor. To reach the goal of functioning modules and suite, modelers will have to prioritize the avenues for development, while being conscious of the technical capability of the infrastructure the AGRICORE suite will run on.

description: This disease is grouped into various sorts as indicated by the dangerous cells. In by far most of cases (over 95%), this is a sort of disease called "adenocarcinoma". Uncommon sicknesses are: lymphoma, carcinoid, melanoma and sarcoma metastasis of connective tissue or its subordinates Sarcoma Colon and rectal malignant growth is a difficult medical condition. It is extremely normal and has high paces of dreariness and mortality, arriving at half of patients who create it. In one year, in excess of 1,000,000 individuals overall are required to pass on from this sickness. During the primary decade of the 21st century, colorectal malignancy was the main source of death, and considerably more than the demise rate from coronary illness. Today, this sort has the most elevated commonness of disease executioners. In one year, in excess of 3,000 new cases show up, and the normal loss of life is 1,200-1,500 individuals. On the off chance that colorectal malignancy is analyzed at a high level stage, the possibility of recuperation is near nothing, while in the event that it is analyzed at a beginning phase, the fix rate is over 95%, Colon and rectal disease is the effect of unnerving sicknesses, as it is named the third basic illness. Early recognition assessments and treatment alternatives have decreased the CRC death rate in created nations, even with expanding frequency. Better hereditary testing and documentation of a family ancestry can engage individuals with a hereditary inclination to contamination Colorectal malignancy influences and both genders generally equivalent 55% of cases among men and 45% of female.

description: We study fully synchronized (coherent) states in complex networks of chaotic oscillators, reviewing the analytical approach of determining the stability conditions for synchronizability and comparing them with numerical criteria. As an example, we present detailed results for networks of chaotic logistic maps having three different scale-free topologies: random scale-free topology, deterministic pseudo-fractal scale-free network and Apollonian network. For random scale-free topology we find that the lower boundary of the synchronizability region scales approximately as $k^{-μ}$, where $k$ is the outgoing connectivity and $μ$ depends on the local nonlinearity. For deterministic scale-free networks coherence is observed only when the coupling is heterogeneous, namely when it is proportional to some power of the neighbor connectivity. In all cases, stability conditions are determined from the eigenvalue spectrum of the Laplacian matrix and agree well with numerical results based on histograms of coherent states in parameter space. Additionally, we show that almost everywhere in the synchronizability region the basin of attraction of coherent states fills the entire phase space, and that the transition to coherence is of first-order.

description: We study spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking in SU(3) QCD in terms of the dual superconductor picture for quark confinement in the maximally Abelian (MA) gauge, using lattice QCD Monte Carlo simulations with four different lattices of $16^4$, $24^4$, $24^3\times 6$ at $β=6.0$ (i.e., the spacing $a \simeq$ 0.1 fm), and $32^4$ at $β=6.2$ (i.e., $a \simeq$ 0.075 fm), at the quenched level. First, in the confinement phase, we find Abelian dominance and monopole dominance in the MA gauge for the chiral condensate in the chiral limit,using the two different methods of i) the Banks-Casher relation with the Dirac eigenvalue density and ii) finite quark-mass calculations with the quark propagator and its chiral extrapolation. In the high-temperature deconfined phase, the chiral restoration is observed also for the Abelian and the monopole sectors. Second, we investigate local correlation between the chiral condensate and monopoles, which topologically appear in the MA gauge. We find that the chiral condensate locally takes a quite large value near monopoles. As an interesting possibility, the strong magnetic field around monopoles is responsible to chiral symmetry breaking in QCD, similarly to the magnetic catalysis.

In the resulting quantum theory, the wave functional is a function of the particle coordinates and the 3-metric. It satisfies a particular Hamiltonian and diffeomorphism constraint, together with a Klein-Gordon-type equation. As usual in the Wheeler-DeWitt theory, the wave function is time-independent. This is also reflected in the Klein-Gordon-type equation, where the time derivative is absent. Before considering gravity, we consider the coupling of a particle with electromagnetism, which is treated similarly, but simpler.

Essays on fiscal-monetary interdependence

Subjects: subject: Fiscal policy
subject: Monetary policy
subject: Inflation (Finance)
subject: Economic policy

description: The core of this PhD dissertation consists of three research essays on issues related to fiscal and monetary interdependence. The general message across all three essays is that monetary and fiscal interdependence matters for economic stability. The first research essay explores the implications of fiscal and monetary interdependence on price stability. The essay is built upon a small open economy model which explains the link between fiscal deficits and inflation. The model is tested empirically using country level (Sri Lankan) data under several specifications. Overall, it finds strong evidence to support a positive link between fiscal deficit and inflation. However, the findings do not support the view that the fiscal deficit-inflation link becomes stronger when public sector wages are factored out. The second essay examines the case for relative independence between fiscal and monetary authorities. Despite the wide spread interest in reforms that ensures greater independence of central banks over the last few decades, there are still huge variations in the degree of central bank independence across countries. Investigating factors that underlie the level of central bank independence, the essay argues that relative independence between the two institutions is determined mainly by three concepts, i.e. inflationary bias, global cohesive pressure, and political incentives. The findings show that the relevance of these concepts in determining central bank independence across developing and developed country samples is very different. An inflationary bias hypothesis induces the relative independence of monetary authorities in developed countries, yet inhibits the same process in developing countries. In contrast, political incentives play a major role in granting independent status to monetary authorities in developing countries. The essay also measures the efficiency levels of central bank reforms and finds that, over time, only developed countries leap-frog upward on the efficiency scale of central bank reforms. The third research essay examines fiscal crises in two dimensions, crisis incidence and crisis duration in order to broaden the understanding of how fiscal and monetary policy actions contribute to a country's fiscal stability. Using macroeconomic, institutional, and demographic indicators, it is found that, in addition to the fiscal authority's own functions, the functions of the monetary authority, such as reserves accumulation and an inflation targeting monetary policy regime, reduce the probability of a crisis occurring, as well as its duration. The findings also show that policies that help prevent a fiscal crisis do not necessarily contribute to fast recovery from a crisis. This indicates the importance of applying specific policy measures during each stage of a fiscal crisis episode. - provided by Candidate.

description: One of the widely applicable displacement-dependent dampers that causes energy dissipation through the material yielding is metallic yielding damper. This damper consists of metallic plates in various shapes that are parallel to each other in the number required and are fitted to the link beams and the end of the chevron braces. Meanwhile, the yielding damper with X-shaped sheets (XMD) is one of the common types of these dampers. The application of XMD has the benefits of easy replacement in the event of an earthquake, the lack of need to maintain, the ability to concentrate and limit the energy level in specific locations of the structure, the favorable reduction of energy loss in other elements of the structure and they are only affected by lateral loading. The energy loss in these devices is caused by the plastic deformation of the plates under bending. Based on this, when heavy earthquakes occur, large volumes of material will deform and the damper can dissipate a great deal of energy. In this study, two analytical and numerical approaches were used. The analytical approach was based on mathematical relationships and was verified using experimental findings. It was then used to verify the numerical models developed in ABAQUS. Then, six XMD models were developed by changing the parameters of materials, sheet thickness and number of them, and hysteretic and skeleton curves as well as their behavioral parameters were extracted. Afterwards, the bilinear behavior of these dampers was assigned to the two RC structures of 5 and 10 stories taken from Chukka and Krishnamurthy research model to study the behavior of these dampers under near and far-field earthquakes. The findings indicated that the analytical approach is in good agreement with numerical outputs of the entire XMD models and the bilinear model fitted with the entire skeleton curves. Furthermore, the amount of dissipated energy is sensitive to the modulus of elasticity, thickness and the number of the sheets which means that increasing these parameters leads to an XMD with higher yield force, elastic stiffness, effective stiffness, effective damping ratio and more dissipated energy.

description: The employment of a large area Phase Fresnel Lens (PFL) in a gamma-ray telescope offers the potential to image astrophysical phenomena with micro-arcsecond angular resolution. In order to assess the feasibility of this concept, two detailed studies have been conducted of formation flying missions in which a Fresnel lens capable of focussing gamma-rays and the associated detector are carried on two spacecraft separated by up to 10$^6$ km. These studies were performed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Integrated Mission Design Center (IMDC) which developed spacecraft, orbital dynamics, and mission profiles. The results of the studies indicated that the missions are challenging but could be accomplished with technologies available currently or in the near term. The findings of the original studies have been updated taking account of recent advances in ion thruster propulsion technology.

description: Human beings can extract meaningful information from single documents and can even summarize them depending on their interest. Computers on the other hand are used in increasingly large number of documents to process them. Even with vast number of documents we are drowning in, there will always be need of important documents which occur singly or in small numbers. For example, it is unlikely that a statistically significant number of airplanes will collide with tall buildings. So, to analyze and extract significant information from reports or documents related to this kind of scenario, it requires subjective analysis of data. This thesis uses structural fuzzy technology, subjective logic and higher order singular value decomposition to extract information from single documents, or from a small collection of documents. The idea is to analyze the language and syntax used in the document to remove uncertainty, increase confidence, and improve the reliability of decision-making which can have many applications including in the media and intelligence gathering. This is illustrated through the generation of extractive summaries using these techniques. The results are good, and validated by comparing document summaries using my techniques with human generated summaries and other machine generated summaries. My summaries are more similar to human summaries than the rest, and this is the major result captured in this thesis.

description: Baryons and cold dark matter (CDM) did not comove prior to recombination. This leads to differences in the local baryon and CDM densities, the so-called baryon-CDM isocurvature perturbations $δ_{bc}$. These perturbations are usually neglected in the analysis of Large-Scale Structure data but taking them into account might become important in the era of high precision cosmology. Using gravity-only 2-fluid simulations we assess the impact of such perturbations on the dark matter halos distribution. In particular, we focus on the baryon fraction in halos as a function of mass and large-scale $δ_{bc}$, which also allows us to study details of the nontrivial numerical setup required for such simulations. We further measure the cross-power spectrum between the halo field and $δ_{bc}$ over a wide range of mass. This cross-correlation is nonzero and negative which shows that halo formation is impacted by $δ_{bc}$. We measure the associated bias parameter $b_{δ_{bc}}$ and compare it to recent results, finding good agreement. Finally we quantify the impact of such perturbations on the halo-halo power spectrum and show that this effect can be degenerate with the one of massive neutrinos for surveys like DESI.

description: Traceability Link Recovery (TLR) is an enabler for various software engineering tasks.
One important task is the recovery of trace links between Software Architecture Documentation (SAD) and source code.
Here, the main challenge is the semantic gap between the two artifact types.
Recent research has shown that this semantic gap can be bridged by using Software Architecture Models (SAMs) as intermediates.
However, the creation of SAMs is a manual and time-consuming task.
This paper investigates the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to extract component names as simple SAMs for TLR based on SAD and source code.
By doing so, we aim to bridge the semantic gap between SAD and source code without the need for manual SAM creation.
We compare our approach to the state-of-the-art TLR approaches TransArC and ArDoCode.
TransArC is the currently best-performing approach for TLR between SAD and source code, but it requires SAMs as an additional artifact.
Our evaluation shows that our approach performs comparable to TransArC (weighted average F1 with GPT-4o: 0.86 vs. TransArC's 0.87), while only needing the SAD and source code.
Moreover, our approach significantly outperforms the best baseline that does not need SAMs (weighted average F1 with GPT-4o: 0.86 vs. ArDoCode's 0.62).
In summary, our approach shows that LLMs can be used to make TLR between SAD and source code more applicable by extracting component names and omitting the need for manually created SAMs.

description: We present new UV (F218W) data for stars in the central region of the Galactic globular cluster NGC2808, collected with the WFPC2 camera on board of the Hubble Space Telescope. These data together with F439W and F555W-band data and previous ground based observations provide a multifrequency coverage of the cluster stellar population extending up to a distance of 1.7 times the cluster core radius. We discuss this complete sample of stars, which includes 764 Red Giant Branch (RGB) stars brighter than the Horizontal Branch (HB) luminosity level, 1239 HB stars, 119 Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB), and 22 AGB-manque' stellar structures. As already known, we find that blue HB stars separate into three distinct groups. However, our multiband photometry indicates that several stars in the two hotter HB groups show a flat spectrum, thus suggesting the binarity of these objects. Artificial star experiments suggest that at most 50% of them might be photometric blends. Moreover, at variance with previous claims one finds that canonical Zero Age Horizontal Branch (ZAHB) models do reach effective temperatures typical of observed hot HB stars. We also show that the ratio between HB and RGB stars brighter than the HB luminosity level steadly increases when moving from the cluster center to the periphery, passing from R=1.37 +/- 0.14 in the cluster core to R=1.95 +/- 0.26 in the outer cluster regions. We discuss the possible origin of such a radial gradient in the context of the Blue Tails phenomenon, advancing some suggestions concerning the clumpy stellar distribution along the HB.

description: We present a method to compute thermodynamic quantities within functional continuum frameworks that is independent of the employed truncation. As a proof of principle, we first apply it to a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in mean-field approximation. Then, we use the method with solutions obtained from a coupled set of truncated Dyson-Schwinger equations for the quark and gluon propagators of (2+1)-flavor quantum chromodynamics in Landau gauge to obtain the pressure, entropy density, energy density, and interaction measure across the phase diagram of strong-interaction matter. We also discuss the limitation of the proposed method.

Subjects: AGRICORE H2020

description: AGRICORE is a research project funded by the European Commission under the RUR-04-2018 call, part of the H2020 programme, which proposes an innovative way to apply agent-based modelling to improve the capacity of policymakers to evaluate the impact of agricultural-related measures under and outside the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).This deliverable presents the results of Task 5.2 - Land Market Module, led by AKD. The objective of Task 5.2 is to design a module which considers the interaction between agents regarding the use and transfer of land. The land transfer is done through buying and selling depending on land price rules defined based on a comprehensive land characterization assessment. Further on, the interaction is performed through an auction system, in which the agents participating set their reservation price and offer price based on their financial optimisation and the average market price from the last time sample. Concerning the agent's participation in the land market, certain conditions are defined. Details on inputs/outputs are presented to ease further integration and interconnectivity of the land market module with other modules such as the ABMs,For last, in order to endorse the strategy followed within the land market module to accomplish the land transfer between agents, a literature review on the subject and other models' approaches are presented within the deliverable.

Breakdown of Tan's relation in lossy one-dimensional Bose gases

description: In quantum gases with contact repulsion, the distribution of momenta of the atoms typically decays as $\sim 1/|p|^4$ at large momentum $p$. Tan's relation connects the amplitude of that $1/|p|^4$ tail to the adiabatic derivative of the energy with respect to the gas' coupling constant or scattering length. Here it is shown that the relation breaks down in the one-dimensional Bose gas with contact repulsion, for a peculiar class of stationary states. These states exist thanks to the infinite number of conserved quantities in the system, and they are characterized by a rapidity distribution which itself decreases as $1/|p|^4$. In the momentum distribution, that rapidity tail adds to the usual Tan contact term. Remarkably, atom losses, which are ubiquitous in experiments, do produce such peculiar states. The development of the tail of the rapidity distribution originates from the ghost singularity of the wavefunction immediately after each loss event. This phenomenon is discussed for arbitrary interaction strengths, and it is supported by exact calculations in the two asymptotic regimes of infinite and weak repulsion.
