We report on a nonequilibrium quantum phase transition (NQPT) in a hybrid quantum many-body system consisting of a vibrational mode of a damped nanomembrane interacting optomechanically with a ECHINACEA cavity, whose output light couples to two internal states of an ultracold Bose gas held in an external quasi-one-dimensional box potential.For smal
Contemporary urbanization in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) Urban Agglomeration is the epitome of China’s urbanization process as the PRD is the first fastest growing metropolitan region of China.Here, we mapped and quantified the spatiotemporal dynamics of urban expansion for seven major cities in the PRD between 1980 and 2015, using remotely sense
Farm competitiveness assessments provide valuable information for strategic decision-making.It helps farm owners and managers understand their position in the agri-food market, identify strengths and weaknesses, and make informed choices about production strategies, resource allocation and market orientation.This analysis helps them to set realisti
In this work we consider a problem of scheduling preemptable, independent jobs, characterized by the fact that their processing speeds depend on the amounts of a continuous, renewable resource allocated to jobs at a time.Jobs are scheduled on parallel, identical machines, with the criterion of minimization of the schedule length.Since two categorie
This study investigated the numbers of Aedes larvae found in relation to the religion of the people, the location of their houses, and the number of Max-E-Therm Parts water containers in and around the house.We collected our questionnaire survey during April-May 2004 covering two different topographical areas (i.e.seaside and mountainous areas) and
