description: • The question of optimal fertilizer intensity has a long history and is still relevant from several perspectives. • While it is obvious that the optimal input use contributes to economic benefits for the farmer, understanding the economically optimal use of nitrogen fertilizer may help to address environmental policies more efficiently. • Literature shows that nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications to agricultural crops often exceed the rate recommended by officials or advisors. One possible explanation is farmers’ response to uncertainty. • This study contributes to this question based on long term crop response data in Canada and Germany.

The interaction of planets with a disc with MHD turbulence IV: Migration rates of embedded protoplanets

description: (Abridged) We present global disc and local shearing box simulations of planets interacting with a MHD turbulent disc. We examine the torque exerted by the disc on the embedded planets as a function of planet mass, and thus make a first study of orbital migration of planets due to interaction with turbulent discs. Global simulations were performed for a disc with H/R=0.07 and planet masses M_p=3,10,30 Earth masses, and 3 Jupiter masses. Shearing box runs were performed for values of (M_p/M_*)/(H/R)^3=0.1,0.3,1.0 and 2.0, M_* being the central mass. These allow embedded and gap forming planets to be examined. In all cases the instantaneous torque exerted on a planet showed strong fluctuations. In the embedded cases it oscillated between negative and positive values, and migration occurs as a random walk, unlike the usual type I migration. Running time averages for embedded planets over 20-25 orbital periods show that large fluctuations occur on longer time scales, preventing convergence of the average torque to well defined values, or even to a well defined sign. Fluctuations become relatively smaller for larger masses, giving better convergence, due to the planet's perturbation of the disc becoming larger than the turbulence in its vicinity. Eventually gap formation occurs, with a transition to type II migration. The existence of significant fluctuations occurring in turbulent discs on long time scales is important for lower mass embedded protoplanets. If significant fluctuations occur on the longest disc evolutionary time scales, convergence of torque running averages for practical purposes will not occur, and the migration behaviour of low mass protoplanets considered as an ensemble would be very different from predictions of type I theory for laminar discs.

description: A framework for estimating cost effectiveness of the youth Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), one of the largest nutrition education programs in the US, is developed. Using costs and effects data from 15 program counties in Virginia for the school year 2011/2012, the cost effectiveness ratio (CER) of the Healthy Weights for Healthy Kids (HWHK) program was estimated. Improvements in nutrition related behavior, and improvements in nutrition related self-efficacy, from pretest to posttest, were considered as two indicators of program effects. Direct costs associated with the provision of the HWHK program were considered program costs. The total cost of the program was estimated to be $134,333 for one year. Among 1,864 participants, 1,786 improved in behavior indicators and 1,782 improved in self-efficacy indicators. The estimated CER is about $75 per improvement for each outcome indicator. Cross county comparisons reveal a wide variation in CER estimates across counties. The results from this study provide the first piece of information on the CER for youth EFNEP which quantify the effects of investment on youth EFNEP program in Virginia in achieving the stated program objectives.

description: Abstract

In this work, we have studied the vacancy formation energy of Ti-Al alloy of structure B2 with size 10*10*10 for aluminum percentages of 50, 55 and 60% under the influence of temperature at 1300, 1350, 1400, 1450 and 1500K using the Modified Emmbedded Atom Method (MEAM) under the LAMMPS version 2020 calculation code. This study has enabled us to understand the behavior of the Ti-Al alloy under different percentages in terms of total energy, vacancy formation energy and crystalline parameter. For each of these physical quantities, we have shown that the total energy decreases with temperature; this is also verified for the percentage, with the lowest energy obtained for the Ti-60% Al structure at 1300K of the order of -8678.4149mjmm2. The Ti-50%Al alloy has positive energies of formation, so this structure forms whatever the chosen operating temperature, which is not the case for Ti-55%Al. At 1350 K, we observed an inversion in the mesh parameter behavior of the Ti-60%Al alloy, which we attributed to the phase change around 1350K. At 1400K, we observed a reversal in the behavior of total energy.

description: Short heat pulses can trigger plasma pressure fronts inside closed magnetic tubes in the corona. The alternation of condensations and rarefactions from the pressure modes drive large-amplitude pulsations in the plasma emission. Here we show the detection of such pulsations along magnetic tubes that brighten transiently in the hot 94A EUV channel of SDO/AIA. The pulsations are consistent with those predicted by hydrodynamic loop modeling, and confirm pulsed heating in the loop system. The comparison of observations and model provides constraints on the heat deposition: a good agreement requires loop twisting and pulses deposited close to the footpoints with a duration of 0.5 min in one loop, and deposited in the corona with a duration of 2.5 min in another loop of the same loop system.

description: IRAC images of M81 show three distinct morphological constituents: a smooth distribution of evolved stars with bulge, disk, and spiral arm components; a clumpy distribution of dust emission tracing the spiral arms; and a pointlike nuclear source. The bulge stellar colors are consistent with M-type giants, and the disk colors are consistent with a slightly younger population. The dust emission generally follows the blue and ultraviolet emission, but there are large areas that have dust emission without ultraviolet and smaller areas with ultraviolet but little dust emission. The former are presumably caused by extinction, and the latter may be due to cavities in the gas and dust created by supernova explosions. The nucleus appears fainter at 8 um than expected from ground-based 10 um observations made four years ago.

O transfeminicidio é uma manifestação desse preconceito e ódio tendo como consequência a morte dessas mulheres. De acordo com a doutora em Sociologia, professora da UnB e pós-doutora pela CUNY/EUA Berenice Bento (2014), “o transfeminicídio se caracteriza como uma política disseminada, internacional e sistemática de eliminação da população trans no Brasil, motivada pelo ódio e nojo”. E mesmo com as inúmeras mortes no Brasil não há nem uma fonte institucional com esses dados, o que há é o acompanhamento de algumas ONGs de ativistas que acompanham matérias jornalísticas sobre a morte dessas pessoas. Bento, ainda sobre o assunto, ressalta que as pessoas trans passam por dificuldades para serem reconhecidas desde a infância até a morte. [...]

Event-by-event fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum in 40, 80, and 158 A GeV/c Pb-Au collisions

description: Measurements of event-by-event fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum in Pb-Au collisions at 40, 80, and 158 A GeV/c are presented. A significant excess of mean p_T fluctuations at mid-rapidity is observed over the expectation from statistically independent particle emission. The results are somewhat smaller than recent measurements at RHIC. A possible non-monotonic behaviour of the mean p_T fluctuations as function of collision energy, which may have indicated that the system has passed the critical point of the QCD phase diagram in the range of mu_B under investigation, has not been observed. The centrality dependence of mean p_T fluctuations in Pb-Au is consistent with an extrapolation from pp collisions assuming that the non-statistical fluctuations scale with multiplicity. The results are compared to calculations by the RQMD and UrQMD event generators.

description: We develop a string-inspired model for particle cosmology, based on a flipped SU(5)$\times$U(1) gauge group formulated in a no-scale supergravity framework. The model realizes Starobinsky-like inflation, which we assume to be followed by strong reheating, with the GUT symmetry being broken subsequently by a light `flaton' field whose decay generates a second stage of reheating. We discuss the production of gravitinos and the non-thermal contribution made by their decays to the density of cold dark matter, which is assumed to be provided by the lightest neutralino. We also discuss the masses of light and heavy neutrinos and leptogenesis. As discussed previously [1], a key rôle is played by a superpotential coupling between the inflaton, matter and GUT Higgs fields, called $λ_6$. We scan over possible values of $λ_6$, exploring the correlations between the possible values of observables. We emphasize that the release of entropy during the GUT transition allows large regions of supersymmetry-breaking parameter space that would otherwise lead to severe overdensity of dark matter. Furthermore, we find that the Big Bang nucleosynthesis lower limit on the reheating temperature of $\sim 1$ MeV restricts the supersymmetry-breaking scale to a range ${\cal O}(10)$ TeV that is consistent with the absence of supersymmetric particles at the LHC.

description: Keyphrases are useful for a variety of purposes, including summarizing, indexing, labeling, categorizing, clustering, highlighting, browsing, and searching. The task of automatic keyphrase extraction is to select keyphrases from within the text of a given document. Automatic keyphrase extraction makes it feasible to generate keyphrases for the huge number of documents that do not have manually assigned keyphrases. A limitation of previous keyphrase extraction algorithms is that the selected keyphrases are occasionally incoherent. That is, the majority of the output keyphrases may fit together well, but there may be a minority that appear to be outliers, with no clear semantic relation to the majority or to each other. This paper presents enhancements to the Kea keyphrase extraction algorithm that are designed to increase the coherence of the extracted keyphrases. The approach is to use the degree of statistical association among candidate keyphrases as evidence that they may be semantically related. The statistical association is measured using web mining. Experiments demonstrate that the enhancements improve the quality of the extracted keyphrases. Furthermore, the enhancements are not domain-specific: the algorithm generalizes well when it is trained on one domain (computer science documents) and tested on another (physics documents).

A Bolívia é um dos países com um dos piores IDH entre os países sul-americanos e, por isso, muitos bolivianos deixam o seu local de origem em busca de melhores condições de vida, por meio de ofertas de emprego, geralmente enganosas. Nesse sentido, é válido ressaltar em quais condições tais imigrantes chegam no Brasil: geralmente estão no país de maneira ilegal, sem laços sociais, sem recursos financeiros, com desconhecimento da língua e com desorientação espacial. Nos locais de trabalho estão sujeitos à péssimas condições de infraestrutura, com uma longa jornada e um recebimento ínfimo sobre as peças produzidas, o que agravava ainda mais as dívidas que foram adquiridas nos custos da viagem e serão estabelecidas nas relações entre empregador e empregado nos casos em que o tipo de escravidão é por dívida-comum com os bolivianos.

description: This study undertook the testing of Cu2+ and Ni2+ adsorption using synthesized oxalic acid-crosslinked chitosan (CTS)-modified montmorillonite (MMT), as well as a kinetic analysis and equilibrium analysis. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because we showed that the interlayer distance of untreated MMT was increased from 1.23 to 2.05–2.21 nm, and thus verified the intercalation of CTS into the MMT interlayer. The maximum adsorption of Cu2+, as calculated using the Langmuir equation, was significantly higher for oxalic acid-crosslinked CTS-modified MMT, relative to untreated MMT or the non-crosslinked CTS-modified-MMT. The oxalic acid-crosslinked CTS-modified MMT could also take up more Cu2+ than Ni2+ from a solution containing a mixture of Cu2+-Ni2+. The selective adsorption of oxalic acid-crosslinked CTS-modified-MMT (i.e. Ni2+ < Cu2+) is governed by the selective adsorption of CTS and the oxalic acid. This reveals the effect of the complex formation with CTS and oxalic acid.

description: Assessing the location and extent of lesions caused by chronic stroke is critical for medical diagnosis, surgical planning, and prognosis. In recent years, with the rapid development of 2D and 3D convolutional neural networks (CNN), the encoder-decoder structure has shown great potential in the field of medical image segmentation. However, the 2D CNN ignores the 3D information of medical images, while the 3D CNN suffers from high computational resource demands. This paper proposes a new architecture called dimension-fusion-UNet (D-UNet), which combines 2D and 3D convolution innovatively in the encoding stage. The proposed architecture achieves a better segmentation performance than 2D networks, while requiring significantly less computation time in comparison to 3D networks. Furthermore, to alleviate the data imbalance issue between positive and negative samples for the network training, we propose a new loss function called Enhance Mixing Loss (EML). This function adds a weighted focal coefficient and combines two traditional loss functions. The proposed method has been tested on the ATLAS dataset and compared to three state-of-the-art methods. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves the best quality performance in terms of DSC = 0.5349+0.2763 and precision = 0.6331+0.295).

description: This paper analyses the effects of the expiration of the volumetric ethanol subsidy and the implementation of the renewable fuels standard (RFS) on the U.S. fuel ethanol industry. Analyses that ignore the dynamic implications of these policies, including their effects on incumbent ethanol firms’ investment, production, and exit decisions and on potential entrants’ entry behavior, may generate incomplete estimates of the impact of the policies and misleading predictions of the future evolution of the fuel ethanol industry. In this paper, we construct a dynamic model to recover the entire cost structure of the industry including the distributions of fixed entry costs and of exit scrap values. We use the estimated parameters to evaluate 3 different types of subsidy: a volumetric production subsidy, an investment subsidy, and an entry subsidy, each with and without the RFS. Results show that the RFS is a critically important policy to support the sustainability of corn-based fuel ethanol production, and that investment subsidies and entry subsidies are more effective than production subsidies.

description: The population genetics investigation of STR loci in specific populations is the basic premise for forensic practice, and the AmpFlSTRTM IdentifilerTM Plus kit is still widely used in most forensic DNA laboratories. To obtain more reliable and accurate population genetic data of 15 autosomal STRs in the Shandong Han population and explore the genetic relationship with 25 neighbouring Chinese populations. A total of 5356 unrelated Chinese Han individuals from Shandong Province were genotyped using the IdentifilerTM Plus Kit. Allele frequencies and corresponding forensic statistical parameters were calculated. Population comparisons were further explored through the neighbour-joining tree and multidimensional scaling analysis. A total of 217 alleles were calculated, the allele frequencies spanned from 0.0001 to 0.5340. The combined discrimination power (CDP) and the combined probability of paternity (CPE) of 15 STR loci were 0.99999999999999998755 and 0.999994524, respectively. Population comparisons demonstrated that Shandong Han have genetic homogeneity with most Sino-Tibetan populations. Our study updates the Shandong Han population database with a large sample size. These 15 STR loci in the Shandong Han population are more polymorphic and discriminatory than shown in previous data, which could be more applicable to personal identification and paternity testing, as well other population genetics studies.

description: We have tested recent suggestion of anomalous sensitivity in highly excited quantum many-body systems. Two independent measurements of cross sections for the 19F+93Nb strongly dissipative heavy-ion collisions have been performed at incident energies from 102 to 108 MeV in steps of 250 keV.In the two measurements we used different, independently prepared, 93Nb target foils with nominally the same thickness.The data indicate statistically significant non-reproducibility of the energy oscillating yields in the two measurements. The observed non-reproducibility is consistent with recent theoretical arguments on spontaneous correlation, slow phase randomization and chaos in highly excited complex quantum systems.

description: The structure of complex organic solutions based on N,N,N’,N’-tetraoctyldiglycolamide (TODGA) used in actinide separation processes were characterized after water and neodymium extraction. The organic phases were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, ESI-MS spectrometry, Small and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (SWAXS) and molecular dynamic simulations. The role of the “phase modifier” like 1-octanol (used in the innovative SANEX process) or the “co-extractant” like DMDOHEMA (used, for example, in the EURO-GANEX process) added to the organic phase to avoid third-phase formation was investigated at molecular and supramolecular scales. Without metallic cations in 0.2 mol/L TODGA solution in n-heptane, TODGA molecules are organized in monomers and small aggregates containing mainly two or three TODGA molecules. After Nd(NO3)3 extraction, complexes or aggregates are formed in which each neodymium cation is surrounded in average by 2 to 4 TODGA, 3 nitrate ions and 1 to 2 water molecules. Polymetallic species (aggregates) may also be formed. Adding 5%Vol 1-octanol or 0.5 mol/L DMDOHEMA to 0.2 mol/L TODGA solution in n-heptane leads to the formation of mixed aggregates containing TODGA and octanol molecules or TODGA and DMDOHEMA molecules. These molecules both interact directly with the extracted metallic cation in the organic phase, modifying the structure of the neodymium species, and improving their solubility in this organic phase. At least one TODGA molecule remains in the cation first coordination sphere in both cases and preserves its significant role in the complexation/selectivity of the cations. But it is clear that both 1-octanol and DMDOHEMA have a role in the speciation of the cations in the organic phase: 1-octanol replaces water molecules in the first coordination sphere of Nd, acting as a co-surfactant; DMDOHEMA drives the organization and DMDOHEMA molecules partially replace TODGA in the first coordination sphere of Nd.

Inter-fuel substitution and dynamic adjustment in input demand: Implications for deforestation and carbon emission in Malawi

description: This study estimates inter-fuel substitution elasticities and long-run substitution elasticities between energy and non-energy aggregate inputs used by production sectors in Malawi. All fuels are Morishima substitutes but there are significant sectoral variations in the magnitude of the elasticities. This indicates that economic instruments should be considered for energy policy but such policies should take into account not only differences in technology used across sectors but also the systematic distribution of costs when the relative prices of fuels change. Estimates of long-run elasticities for aggregate input demands indicate that energycapital input ratios adjust faster than labor-capital input ratios. This suggests that investment policy should take into consideration tradeoffs between environmental gains and employment implicit in the production structure of the Malawian economy, as both capital and labor demands have dynamic interactions with energy in the long run, with potential significant cumulative impacts on the environment.

description: The third moment variation of a financial asset return process is defined by the quadratic covariation between the return and square return processes. The skew and fat tail risk of an underlying asset can be hedged using a third moment variation swap under which a predetermined fixed leg and the floating leg of the realized third moment variation are exchanged. The probability density function of the hedged portfolio with the third moment variation swap was examined using a partial differential equation approach. An alternating direction implicit method was used for numerical analysis of the partial differential equation. Under the stochastic volatility and jump diffusion stochastic volatility models, the distributions of the hedged portfolio return are symmetric and have more Gaussian-like thin-tails.
Recurrent shocks, poverty traps and the degradation of pastoralists’ social capital in southern Ethiopia

description: This paper examines the long-term effects of shocks experienced by a traditional pastoral community, with the aim of testing the micro-level poverty trap hypothesis. It uses the instrumental probit technique to examine empirically the way that shocks, poverty traps, and the social capital base of the pastoral livelihood system are connected. The results strongly confirm that the likelihood of falling into permanent destitution is significantly associated with recurrent exposure to covariate shocks. The detrimental effects of shocks are transmitted through poverty traps that undermine the efficacy of the indigenous welfare system. Shockinduced poverty has significantly eroded trust and confidence in the traditional social support system and appears to have increased the dependence on aid agencies. These findings emphasize the importance of focusing on innovative risk management initiatives and substantial resource commitment to socioeconomic transformation in pastoral areas rather than unduly emphasizing conventional emergency response operations.

description: A falta de acesso a itens básicos dentro dos presídios femininos é característica intrínseca à quase totalidade das instituições carcerárias brasileiras. Ao realizar precisas analises sobre o tema, torna-se evidente não só a falta de estrutura física adequada dessas instituições, mas também o tamanho descaso das entidades públicas para com as detentas, que se manifesta por meio de inúmeros casos. Entre eles, tem-se: celas superlotadas, mal iluminadas e com pouca ventilação, baixa distribuição de itens de higiene pessoal, reduzido número de profissionais da saúde especialistas em questões ginecológicas, péssima qualidade dos alimentos fornecidos, que são servidos em quantidades insuficientes e, na maioria das vezes, estragados, além das constantes violências físicas e psicológicas às quais as presidiárias são submetidas. Tendo em vista tais situações, é perceptível o quanto o sexo feminino é tratado com desprezo pelo sistema prisional, a realidade e peculiaridade das mulheres são simplesmente esquecidas. Essas, além de não serem inseridas em estabelecimentos próprios, são, por muitas vezes, transferidas para antigas instituições prisionais masculinas. [...]

description: Shallow water environments create a challenging channel for communications. In this paper, we focus on the challenges posed by the frequency-selective signal distortion called the Doppler effect. We explore the design and performance of machine learning (ML) based demodulation methods --- (1) Deep Belief Network-feed forward Neural Network (DBN-NN) and (2) Deep Belief Network-Convolutional Neural Network (DBN-CNN) in the physical layer of Shallow Water Acoustic Communication (SWAC). The proposed method comprises of a ML based feature extraction method and classification technique. First, the feature extraction converts the received signals to feature images. Next, the classification model correlates the images to a corresponding binary representative. An analysis of the ML based proposed demodulation shows that despite the presence of instantaneous frequencies, the performance of the algorithm shows an invariance with a small 2dB error margin in terms of bit error rate (BER).

description: We study equivariant affine embeddings of homogeneous spaces and their equivariant automorphisms. An example of a quasiaffine, but not affine, homogeneous space with finitely many equivariant automorphisms is presented. We prove the solvability of any connected group of equivariant automorphisms for an affine embedding with a fixed point and finitely many orbits. This is applied to studying the orbital decomposition for algebraic monoids and canonical embeddings of quasiaffine homogeneous spaces, i.e., those affine embeddings associated with the coordinate algebras of homogeneous spaces, provided the latter algebras are finitely generated. We pay special attention to the canonical embeddings of quotient spaces of reductive groups modulo the unipotent radicals of parabolic subgroups. For these varieties, we describe the orbital decomposition, compute the modality of the group action, and find out which of them are smooth. We also describe minimal ambient modules for these canonical embeddings provided that the acting group is simply connected.
