Abstract

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in the Near-Infrared (NIR) spectral range was applied for non- destructive characterisation of three staple food commodities: wheat, cocoa and coffee. Industrially-relevant properties such as moisture, fat and proteins were explored on a single seed basis. Prediction models were built for whole wheat kernels, cocoa seeds (de-shelled i.e., cotyledons or nibs) and green coffee beans. Major constituents were successfully predicted in the three commodities with performance allowing quantitative prediction for screening purposes and quality control. In addition, chemical compounds found at lower concentrations were analysed. This comprised indirect methods for enzymatic activity in wheat, polyphenols and antioxidant activity in cocoa, and sucrose, caffeine and trigonelline in green coffee beans. Calibration models built from HSI scanning of green and roasted coffee beans demonstrated the potential to predict generated volatile compounds upon roasting. This approach has been also performed to demonstrate the potential to understand variability at single kernel/seed basis, which can be used for quality improvement of food grains/seeds. HSI-based quantification for single seeds (as well as single pixel level) could be used as a selection tool to create different streams, e.g. for specific product characteristics or to obtain a more consistent composition of the final food product or segregating materials into different process streams with different commercial values. This research work is of strong practical interest, due to the potential applications.

12. Is Space a Stronger Resource than Time? Positive Answer for the Nondeterministic at-Least-Quadratic Time Case

Author

Caporaso, Nicola

Subjects
Computer Science - Computational Complexity
Abstract

We show that all languages accepted in time f(n) >= n^2 can be accepted in space O(f(n)^{1/2})_and_ in time O(f(n)). The proof is carried out by simulation, based on the idea of guessing the sequences of internal states of the simulated TM when entering certain critical cells, whose location is also guessed. Our method cannot be generalised easily to many-tapes TMs, and in no case can it be relativised., Comment: 7 pages

15. Non-Commutative (Softly Broken) Supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons

Abstract

We study d=2+1 non-commutative U(1) YMCS, concentrating on the one-loop corrections to the propagator and to the dispersion relations. Unlike its commutative counterpart, this model presents divergences and hence an IR/UV mechanism, which we regularize by adding a Majorana gaugino of mass m_f, that provides (softly broken) supersymmetry. The perturbative vacuum becomes stable for a wide range of coupling and mass values, and tachyonic modes are generated only in two regions of the parameters space. One such region corresponds to removing the supersymmetric regulator (m_f >> m_g), restoring the well-known IR/UV mixing phenomenon. The other one (for m_f ~ m_g/2 and large \theta) is novel and peculiar of this model. The two tachyonic regions turn out to be very different in nature. We conclude with some remarks on the theory's off-shell unitarity., Comment: 42 pages, 11 figures, uses Axodraw. Bibliography revised

16. Phase transitions, double-scaling limit, and topological strings

Abstract

Topological strings on Calabi--Yau manifolds are known to undergo phase transitions at small distances. We study this issue in the case of perturbative topological strings on local Calabi--Yau threefolds given by a bundle over a two-sphere. This theory can be regarded as a q--deformation of Hurwitz theory, and it has a conjectural nonperturbative description in terms of q--deformed 2d Yang--Mills theory. We solve the planar model and find a phase transition at small radius in the universality class of 2d gravity. We give strong evidence that there is a double--scaled theory at the critical point whose all genus free energy is governed by the Painlev\'e I equation. We compare the critical behavior of the perturbative theory to the critical behavior of its nonperturbative description, which belongs to the universality class of 2d supergravity. We also give evidence for a new open/closed duality relating these Calabi--Yau backgrounds to open strings with framing., Comment: 49 pages, 3 eps figures; section added on non-perturbative proposal and 2d gravity; minor typos corrected

17. Gauge-Invariant Resummation Formalism and Unitarity in Non-Commutative QED

Author

Abstract

We re-examine the perturbative properties of four-dimensional non-commutative QED by extending the pinch techniques to the theta-deformed case. The explicit independence of the pinched gluon self-energy from gauge-fixing parameters, and the absence of unphysical thresholds in the resummed propagators permits a complete check of the optical theorem for the off-shell two-point function. The known anomalous (tachyonic) dispersion relations are recovered within this framework, as well as their improved version in the (softly broken) SUSY case. These applications should be considered as a first step in constructing gauge-invariant truncations of the Schwinger-Dyson equations in the non-commutative case. An interesting result of our formalism appears when considering the theory in two dimensions: we observe a finite gauge-invariant contribution to the photon mass because of a novel incarnation of IR/UV mixing, which survives the commutative limit when matter is present., Comment: 30 pages, 2 eps figure, uses axodraw.

18. Topological strings and large N phase transitions II: Chiral expansion of q-deformed Yang-Mills theory

Abstract

We continue our study of the large N phase transition in q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on the sphere and its role in connecting topological strings to black hole entropy. We study in detail the chiral theory defined in terms of uncoupled single U(N) representations at large N and write down the resulting partition function by means of the topological vertex. The emergent toric geometry has three Kaehler parameters, one of which corresponds to the expected fibration over the sphere. By taking a suitable double-scaling limit we recover the chiral Gross-Taylor string expansion. To analyse the phase transition we construct a matrix model which describes the chiral gauge theory. It has three distinct phases, one of which should be described by the closed topological string expansion. We verify this expectation by explicit comparison between the matrix model and the chiral topological string free energies. We also show that the critical point in the pertinent phase of the matrix model corresponds to a divergence of the topological string perturbation series., Comment: 49 pages, 9 figures

19. Topological strings and large N phase transitions I: Nonchiral expansion of q-deformed Yang-Mills theory

Abstract

We examine the problem of counting bound states of BPS black holes on local Calabi-Yau threefolds which are fibrations over a Riemann surface by computing the partition function of q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on the Riemann surface. We study in detail the genus zero case and obtain, at finite $N$, the instanton expansion of the gauge theory. It can be written exactly as the partition function for U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory on a Lens space, summed over all non-trivial vacua, plus a tower of non-perturbative instanton contributions. The correspondence between two and three dimensional gauge theories is elucidated by an explicit mapping between two-dimensional Yang-Mills instantons and flat connections on the Lens space. In the large $N$ limit we find a peculiar phase structure in the model. At weak string coupling the theory reduces exactly to the trivial flat connection sector with instanton contributions exponentially suppressed, and the topological string partition function on the resolved conifold is reproduced in this regime. At a certain critical point all non-trivial vacua contribute, instantons are enhanced and the theory appears to undergo a phase transition into a strong coupling regime. We rederive these results by performing a saddle-point approximation to the exact partition function. We obtain a q-deformed version of the Douglas-Kazakov equation for two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the sphere, whose one-cut solution below the transition point reproduces the resolved conifold geometry. Above the critical point we propose a two-cut solution that should reproduce the chiral-antichiral dynamics found for black holes on the Calabi-Yau threefold and the Gross-Taylor string in the undeformed limit., Comment: 68 pages, 4 figures, References added and typos corrected
