Hall Droplet Sheets in Holographic QCD [PDF]
In single-flavor QCD, the low energy description of baryons as Skyrmions is not available. In this case, it has been proposed by Komargodski that baryons can be viewed as kinds of charged quantum Hall droplets, or "sheets". In this paper we propose a string theory description of the sheets in single-flavor holographic QCD, focusing on the Witten-Sakai ...

Non-local Lagrangian bias [PDF]
Halos are biased tracers of the dark matter distribution. It is often assumed that the patches from which halos formed are locally biased with respect to the initial fluctuation field, meaning that the halo-patch fluctuation field can be written as a Taylor series in that of the dark matter.

On Large N Gauge Theories from Orientifolds [PDF]
We consider four dimensional ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theories obtained via orientifolds of Type IIB on Abelian C^3/G orbifolds. We construct all such theories that have well defined world-sheet expansion. The number of such orientifolds is rather limited.

Chaotic dynamics of the sugarcane borer-two parasitoid agroecosystem with seasonality [PDF]
Sugarcane production is a significant and profitable agribusiness sector in many countries. Nevertheless, this industry suffers significant losses from the sugarcane pests, among which the most important one is the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis).

Short-lived modes from hydrodynamic dispersion relations [PDF]
We consider the dispersion relation of the shear-diffusion mode in relativistic hydrodynamics, which we generate to high order as a series in spatial momentum q for a holographic model. We demonstrate that the hydrodynamic series can be summed in a way that extends through branch cuts present in the complex q plane, resulting in the accurate ...

From Species to Cultivar: Soybean Cultivar Recognition using Multiscale Sliding Chord Matching of Leaf Images [PDF]
Leaf image recognition techniques have been actively researched for plant species identification. However it remains unclear whether leaf patterns can provide sufficient information for cultivar recognition. This paper reports the first attempt on soybean cultivar recognition from plant leaves which is not only a challenging research problem but also ...

Analysis of genetic diversity among some Iraqi durum wheat cultivars revealed by different molecular markers [PDF]
Durum wheat has been cultivated since the beginning of crop domestication, occupying now the tenth ranking among the global most significant cultivated crops. Despite the fact that, the extent of the crop genetic diversity has not yet fully incorporated into modern varieties through breeding programs.

Grape Cold Hardiness Prediction via Multi-Task Learning [PDF]
Cold temperatures during fall and spring have the potential to cause frost damage to grapevines and other fruit plants, which can significantly decrease harvest yields. To help prevent these losses, farmers deploy expensive frost mitigation measures such as sprinklers, heaters, and wind machines when they judge that damage may occur.

Posterior Convergence Analysis of $α$-Stable Sheets [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the theoretical understanding of $\alpha$-stable sheets $U$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our motivation for this is in the context of Bayesian inverse problems, where we consider these processes as prior distributions, aiming to quantify information of the posterior.

Linear Fractional Stable Sheets: wavelet expansion and sample path properties [PDF]
In this paper we give a detailed description of the random wavelet series representation of real-valued linear fractional stable sheet introduced in Ayache, Roueff and Xiao (2007). By using this representation, in the case where the sample paths are continuous, an anisotropic uniform and quasi-optimal modulus of continuity of these paths is obtained as
