Sowing Organic Seeds
There is a growing realisation that only the adoption of ecological and sustainable farming practices can reverse the declining trend in farm productivity in the state of West Bengal, India.
The paper is on how a small holding (3.8 acres) family farm in a remote dry land area in India demonstrates what can be achieved by way of love for land and nature, self-determination, innovation and hard work. The educated farm family has neatly woven traditional knowledge and modern improvements in agricultural science for developing their organic farm and sustenance of nature. The income from the farm meets their domestic and social needs. Their child goes to one of best private English medium school. There have been noticeable positive changes among the neighbouring farmers, soil and ecology
Orbit Portraits of Unicritical Anti-polynomials
Orbit portraits were introduced by Milnor as a combinatorial tool to describe
the patterns of all periodic dynamical rays landing on a periodic cycle of a
quadratic polynomial. This encodes information about the dynamics and the
parameter spaces of these maps. We carry out a similar analysis for unicritical
anti-polynomials and give an explicit description of the orbit portraits that
can occur for such maps in terms of their characteristic angles, which turns
out to be rather restricted when compared with the holomorphic case. Finally,
we prove a realization theorem for these combinatorial objects. The results
obtained in this paper serve as a combinatorial foundation for a detailed
understanding of the combinatorics and topology of the parameter spaces of
unicritical anti-polynomials and their connectedness loci, known as the
multicorns
A real-time thermal field theoretical analysis of Kubo-type shear viscosity : Numerical understanding with simple examples
A real-time thermal field theoretical calculation of shear viscosity has been
described in the Kubo formalism for bosonic and fermionic medium. The two point
function of viscous stress tensor in the lowest order provides one-loop
skeleton diagram of boson or fermion field for bosonic or fermionic matter.
According to the traditional diagrammatic technique of transport coefficients,
the finite thermal width of boson or fermion is introduced in their internal
lines during the evaluation of boson-boson or fermion-fermion loop diagram.
These thermal widths of boson and fermion are respectively
obtained from the imaginary part of self-energy for and
loops, where interactions of higher mass boson with and
are governed by the simple and {\ov\psi}\psi\Phi interaction
Lagrangian densities. A two-loop diagram, having same power of coupling
constant as in the one-loop diagram, is deduced and its contribution appears
much lower than the one-loop values of shear viscosity. Therefore the one-loop
results of Kubo-type shear viscosity may be considered as leading order results
for this simple and {\ov\psi}\psi\Phi interactions. This
approximation is valid for any values of coupling constant and at the
temperatures greater than the mass of constituent particles of the medium
A comparative analysis of in-medium spectral functions for and in real-time thermal field theory
In the real-time thermal field theory, the nucleon self-energy at finite
temperature and density is evaluated where an extensive set of pion-baryon
() loops are considered. On the other side the in-medium self-energy of
for and loops is also determined in the same
framework. The detail branch cut structures for these different loops
for nucleon and , loops for are addressed.
Using the total self-energy of and , which contain the
contributions of their corresponding loop diagrams, the complete structures of
their in-medium spectral functions have been obtained. The Landau and unitary
cut contributions provide two separate peak structures in the nucleon spectral
function while has single peak structure in its unitary cuts. At
high temperature, the peak structures of both at their individual poles are
attenuated while at high density Landau peak structure of nucleon is completely
suppressed and its unitary peak structure is tending to be shifted towards the
melted peak of . The non-trivial modifications of these chiral
partners may indicate some association of chiral symmetry restoration
The nucleon thermal width due to pion-baryon loops and its contribution in Shear viscosity
In the real-time thermal field theory, the standard expression of shear
viscosity for the nucleonic constituents is derived from the two point function
of nucleonic viscous stress tensors at finite temperature and density. The
finite thermal width or Landau damping is traditionally included in the nucleon
propagators. This thermal width is calculated from the in-medium self-energy of
nucleon for different possible pion-baryon loops. The dynamical part of
nucleon-pion-baryon interactions are taken care by the effective Lagrangian
densities of standard hadronic model. The shear viscosity to entropy density
ratio of nucleonic component decreases with the temperature and increases with
the nucleon chemical potential. However, adding the contribution of pionic
component, total viscosity to entropy density ratio also reduces with the
nucleon chemical potential when the mixing effect between pion and nucleon
components in the mixed gas is considered. Within the hadronic domain,
viscosity to entropy density ratio of the nuclear matter is gradually reducing
as temperature and nucleon chemical potential are growing up and therefore the
nuclear matter is approaching toward the (nearly) perfect fluid nature
Low mass enhanced probability of pion in hadronic matter due to its Landau cut contributions
In the real-time thermal field theory, the pion self-energy at finite
temperature and density is evaluated where the different mesonic and baryonic
loops are considered. The interactions of pion with the other mesons and
baryons in the medium are governed by the effective hadronic Lagrangian
densities whose effective strength of coupling constants have been determined
from the experimental decay widths of the mesons and baryons. The detail branch
cut structures of these different mesonic and baryonic loops are analyzed. The
Landau cut contributions of different baryon and meson loops become only
relevant around the pion pole and it is completely appeared in presence of
medium. The in-medium spectral function of pion has been plotted for different
values of temperature, baryon chemical potential as well as three momentum of
the pion. A noticeable low mass probability in pion spectral function promise
to contribute in the low mass dilepton enhancement via indirect modification of
self-energy for loop
