Cost-benefit Analysis for Modernization the Agricultural Working Roads
To achieve this CBA we use a series of specific steps and process documentation and references provided by the guide in preparation for submission of projects CBA as 125/FEADR/2010. The content of the cost-benefit analysis it is described in the document developed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development ”Recommendations for developing cost-benefit analysis”. For a clear image of the situation described in the project we will try to analyze three scenarios. The method used in developing the financial analysis is ” discounted cash flow ”. The chosen project is an example, but the dates and figures are real.CBA, FEADR, scenarios, financial analysis, cash flow
Light flavor hadron spectra at low and search for collective phenomena in high multiplicity pp, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions measured with the ALICE experiment
Comprehensive results on transverse momentum distributions and their ratios
for identified light flavor hadrons (, K, p) at low and
mid-rapidity as a function of charged particle multiplicity are reported for pp
collisions at 7 TeV. Particle mass dependent hardening of the spectral shapes
in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV were attributed to hydrodynamical flow and
quantitatively parameterized with Boltzmann-Gibbs Blast Wave fits. In this
contribution, we investigate the existence of collective phenomena in small
systems: pp, p-Pb and peripheral Pb-Pb where similar patterns are observed in
multiplicity dependent studies.Comment: Proceedings of Quark Matter 2014 conference, May 19-24, 201
Particle spectra and efficiency in nonlinear relativistic shock acceleration: survey of scattering models
We include a general form for the scattering mean free path in a nonlinear
Monte Carlo model of relativistic shock formation and Fermi acceleration.
Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, as well as analytic work, suggest that
relativistic shocks tend to produce short-scale, self-generated magnetic
turbulence that leads to a scattering mean free path (mfp) with a stronger
momentum dependence than the mfp ~ p dependence for Bohm diffusion. In
unmagnetized shocks, this turbulence is strong enough to dominate the
background magnetic field so the shock can be treated as parallel regardless of
the initial magnetic field orientation, making application to gamma-ray bursts
(GRBs), pulsar winds, Type Ibc supernovae, and extra-galactic radio sources
more straightforward and realistic. In addition to changing the scale of the
shock precursor, we show that, when nonlinear effects from efficient Fermi
acceleration are taken into account, the momentum dependence of the mfp has an
important influence on the efficiency of cosmic-ray production as well as the
accelerated particle spectral shape. These effects are absent in
nonrelativistic shocks and do not appear in relativistic shock models unless
nonlinear effects are self-consistently described. We show, for limited
examples, how the changes in Fermi acceleration translate to changes in the
intensity and spectral shape of gamma-ray emission from proton-proton
interactions and pion-decay radiation.Comment: Accepted for publication in MNRA
fractional topological insulators in two dimensions
We propose a simple microscopic model to numerically investigate the
stability of a two dimensional fractional topological insulator (FTI). The
simplest example of a FTI consists of two decoupled copies of a Laughlin state
with opposite chiralities. We focus on bosons at half filling. We study the
stability of the FTI phase upon addition of two coupling terms of different
nature: an interspin interaction term, and an inversion symmetry breaking term
that couples the copies at the single particle level. Using exact
diagonalization and entanglement spectra, we numerically show that the FTI
phase is stable against both perturbations. We compare our system to a similar
bilayer fractional Chern insulator. We show evidence that the time reversal
invariant system survives the introduction of interaction coupling on a larger
scale than the time reversal symmetry breaking one, stressing the importance of
time reversal symmetry in the FTI phase stability. We also discuss possible
fractional phases beyond .Comment: 15 pages, 18 figure
A construction of integrated vertex operator in the pure spinor sigma-model in AdS5xS5
Vertex operators in string theory come in two varieties: integrated and
unintegrated. Understanding both types is important for the calculation of the
string theory amplitudes. The relation between them is a descent procedure
typically involving the b-ghost. In the pure spinor formalism vertex operators
can be identified as cohomology classes of an infinite-dimensional Lie
superalgebra formed by covariant derivatives. We show that in this language the
construction of the integrated vertex from an unintegrated vertex is very
straightforward, and amounts to the evaluation of the cocycle on the
generalized Lax currents.Comment: LaTeX 13pp; v2: correction in Section 4.
