description: The recent inclusion of exclusive marketing/procurement agreements between meatpacking and feedlot firms has created concern about how the level and variability of fed cattle transaction prices are affected. Existing agreements involve written or verbal contracts that allow the participating firms to market or purchase finished cattle at formula based prices for which the details are not made public. Exclusive marketing/procurement agreements were applied to an experimentally simulated fed cattle market. Two econometric models were developed from previous studies to evaluate price level and variability differences between active and non-active agreement periods. Price level and variability differences between the participating and non-participating firms of the agreements during the agreement and non-agreement periods were also evaluated. The effects of economically rewarding the subjects of experimental simulations studies on fed cattle transaction prices were evaluated. Results indicate that participants of exclusive marketing/procurement agreements realized significantly lower price means and variances than non-participating firms. However, the mean and variance of market prices were found to be higher during the agreement periods than during the non-agreement periods. Economic reward and non-reward periods were not found to have significantly different price levels.

subject: Common Agricultural Policy of the EU

description: The EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) boasts such a unique system of aims and tools that it assumes and requires the presence of a serious, national institutional background for its implementation. However, if the necessary tools cannot – or can only partly – be utilised, due to an inadequate institutional framework, this endangers the achievement of the proposed aims. The agricultural policy can, therefore, only be fully executed within the appropriate institutional system. It is an important task to independently analyse the functioning of key elements of the EAGGF Guarantee Payments system responsible for a significant proportion of support: the Payment Agency, and the Integrated Administration and Control System, which is necessary for managing the predominantly direct payments from the Guarantee Department. Beyond this it is necessary that both should be studied in a wider context, in terms of the new institutional economics that draws attention to information deficiencies and transaction costs. The asymmetric nature of the information provided to Member States’ governments in relation to performing their delegated, payment-related tasks, requires a high level of monitoring, control and enforcement by Community institutions and the Commission. The deficiencies of shared management, which characterise the CAP may be seen as problems to be faced by both Old and New Member States and which can be handled by means of the principal-agent model. Regarding transaction costs our attention should primarily focus on policy-related transaction costs. This issue has been gaining in importance in the case of the ever-changing CAP of the past 13 years. One significant question is whether in the course of a given policy amendment the implementation of new measures will cost more or less than the previous ones, while another is where to set the trade-off between costs and precision (targeting).

description: Although cosmic rays were discovered a century ago, we do not know where or how they are accelerated. There is a realistic hope that the oldest problem in astronomy will be solved soon by ambitious experimentation: air shower arrays of 10,000 kilometer-square area, arrays of air Cerenkov telescopes and kilometer- scale neutrino observatories. Their predecessors are producing science. We will review the highlights: - Cosmic rays: the highest energy particles and the GZK cutoff, the search for cosmic accelerators and the the Cygnus region, top-down mechanisms: photons versus protons? - TeV-energy gamma rays: blazars, how molecular clouds may have revealed proton beams, first hints of the diffuse infrared background? - Neutrinos: first results and proof of concept for technologies to construct kilometer-scale observatories.

description: Investigations were carried out to study how plant production enterprises operating in the West-Transdanubian region of Hungary relate to risk management; how they view, in terms of risk factors, the production, market, financial, technological, legal and human elements affecting production. Research also covered which risk management methods are applied by the plant producers to reduce the negative impact of uncertainty factors. On the basis of the summarised results, farmers indicated the following as significant sources of risk: the price fluctuation of main produce, the late payment of agricultural support, the uncertainty of agricultural policy, and changes in resource prices. The primary method of risk management is to spread the risk, “standing on several feet” (production of different crops, having other income sources besides plant production), but farmers also emphasised the importance of obtaining market information.

A systematic survey of the dynamics of Uranus Trojans

description: We aim to locate the stability region for Uranus Trojans (UT hereafter) and find out the dynamical mechanisms responsible for the structures in the phase space. Using the spectral number as the stability indicator, we construct the dynamical maps on the (a0, i0) plane. The proper frequencies of UTs are determined precisely so that we can depict the resonance web via a semi-analytical method. Two main stability regions are found, one each for the low-inclination (0-14deg) and high-inclination regime (32-59deg). There is also an instability strip in each of them, at 9deg and 51deg respectively. All stability regions are in the tadpole regime and no stable horseshoe orbits exist for UTs. The lack of moderate-inclined UTs is caused by the nu5 and nu7 secular resonances. The fine structures in the dynamical maps are shaped by high-degree secular resonances and secondary resonances. During the planetary migration, about 36.3% and 0.4% of the pre-formed orbits survive the fast and slow migrations (with migrating time scales of 1 and 10Myr) respectively, most of which are in high inclination. Since the low-inclined UTs are more likely to survive the age of the solar system, they make up 77% of all such long-life orbits by the end of the migration, making a total fraction up to 4.06E-3 and 9.07E-5 of the original population for the fast and slow migrations, respectively. About 3.81% UTs are able to survive the age of the solar system, among which 95.5% are on low-inclined orbits with i0<7.5deg. However, the depletion of the planetary migration seems to prevent a large fraction of such orbits, especially for the slow migration model.

Renormalization group method for weakly-coupled quantum chains: application to the spin one-half Heisenberg model

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Kato-Bloch perturbation formalism is used to present a density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) method for strongly anisotropic two-dimensional systems. This method is used to study Heisenberg chains weakly coupled by the transverse couplings $J_{\perp}$ and $J_{d}$ (along the diagonals). An extensive comparison of the renormalization group and quantum Monte Carlo results for parameters where the simulations by the latter method are possible shows a very good agreement between the two methods. It is found, by analyzing ground state energies and spin-spin correlation functions, that there is a transition between two ordered magnetic states. When $J_{d}/J_{\perp} \alt 0.5$, the ground state displays a Néel order. When $J_{d}/J_{\perp} \agt 0.5$, a collinear magnetic ground state in which interchain spin correlations are ferromagnetic becomes stable. In the vicinity of the transition point, $J_{d}/J_{\perp} \approx 0.5$, the ground state is disordered. But, the nature of this disordered ground state is unclear. While the numerical data seem to show that the chains are disconnected, the possibility of a genuine disordered two-dimensional state, hidden by finite size effects, cannot be excluded.

description: The main challenge of regional economic development is undoubtedly to increase the living standard and welfare of the local population. Usually the state of development of regions within one country significantly differs. In Hungary, the capital dominates in development, the Western part is emerging, and the Eastern territorial units, mostly the ones by the boarder are lagging behind. Due to their different starting conditions they cannot be developed by the same action plans. The present paper aims to rank the Hungarian counties and the capital alongside development phases, with the help of multi-variable data analysing methods based on a determined system of viewpoints, and adequate theoretical models and statistical data. We developed a weighting system of the indicators, following the logic of the adequate theoretical models. We are convinced that the theoretical model presented and the methodology based on it is suitable for making regional competitiveness measurable. Through this and with the help of statistical data, the competitiveness of any spatial unit of any level can be determined.

description: As one of the three counties forming the West-Transdanubian Region and being the “western gate” of the country, Győr-Moson-Sopron County plays a significant role in Hungary’s agrarian sector due to its geographical location and natural characteristics. In accordance with the requirements of competitiveness and increasing efficiency by the county’s farms, the developing processes of concentration and specialisation are differentiated within various agricultural groups. While the number of private farms decreased and the average size of farms increased in recent years, the number of economic organisations increased slightly and their average area decreased. (Despite this the county’s corporations and cooperatives are still larger than the national average.) On the basis of the database of the County Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD) and the results of two individual questionnaire surveys it can be stated that the structure of land ownership and land use is far from identical; the use of agricultural land shows a more rational structure than land ownership. On the basis of the average size of productive private farms these medium-sized concerns have a better chance of succeeding in the competitive market. To sum up our investigations we believe that the current farm unit/operational forms are sustainable in the long-term; particularly the medium-sized and larger corporations and private (family) farms.

description: We present new X-ray observations of the nearby Herbig Ae star HD 104237 (= DX Cha) with XMM-Newton, whose objective is to clarify the origin of the emission. Several X-ray emission lines are clearly visible in the CCD spectra, including the high-temperature Fe K-alpha complex. The emission can be accurately modeled as a multi-temperature thermal plasma with cool (kT < 1 keV) and hot (kT > 3 keV) components. The presence of a hot component is compelling evidence that the X-rays originate in magnetically confined plasma, either in the Herbig star itself or in the corona of an as yet unseen late-type companion. The X-ray temperatures and luminosity (log Lx = 30.5 ergs/s) are within the range expected for a T Tauri companion, but high resolution Chandra and HST images constrain the separation of a putative companion to less than 1 arcsec. We place these new results into broader context by comparing the X-ray and bolometric luminosities of a sample of nearby Herbig stars with those of T Tauri stars and classical main-sequence Be stars. We also test the predictions of a model that attributes the X-ray emission of Herbig stars to magnetic activity that is sustained by a shear-powered dynamo.

description: After a long wait the European Union has published a draft Directive (2005/0099) setting out minimum legal standards for the protection of chickens reared for meat. If adopted it will establish some common standards for the treatment of chickens across Europe, leading to regular inspections of flocks, and will set a platform on which future legislation could be built. The Directive arose from the advice given by the European Commission’s own Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Animal Welfare (SCAHAW) in 2000, which expressed a number of concerns regarding the welfare of broilers reared in typical commercial farming systems. The proposed Directive is extremely disappointing in that it fails to address the key health and welfare problems. In particular it fails to make any attempt to halt or restrict the use of fast-growing broilers despite the high levels of painful leg disorders and heart failure experienced by these birds. In the meantime a limit on maximum growth rates should be set. Lighting levels should be between 20 and 100 lux. A continuous period of darkness should be provided, which coincides with the natural night time and lasts a minimum of six hours. The proposed directive should permit broilers to be stocked at 30 kg/m2. The Commission also deals with air quality and climate, litter quality, training and environmental enrichment in the proposed directive, however in this study we only consider the three main issues. The proposal was adopted by the Commission on 30th May 2005. To become law, it will need to be adopted by the Council of Ministers following various consultations, notably in the European Parliament and the Council Working Groups, which draw together government experts from EU Member States. There are many NGO’s, for instance the RSPCA, Eurogroup, CIWF, and the Fauna Egyesület in Hungary, who welcome the proposal as a first step towards improving the welfare of broiler chickens, but believe that far more could be done to deal with the specific welfare issues.

description: We present the TBA equations and the Y-system for the exact spectrum of general multi-magnon local operators in the $D$-dimensional anisotropic version of the bi-scalar fishnet CFT. The mixing matrix of such operators is given in terms of fishnet planar graphs of multi-wheel and multi-spiral type. These graphs probe the two main building blocks of the TBA approach that are the magnon dispersion relation and the magnon scattering matrix and which we both obtain by diagonalising suitable graph-building operators. We also obtain the dual version of the TBA equations, which relates, in the continuum limit, $D$-dimensional graphs to two dimensional sigma models in $AdS_{D+1}$. It allows us to verify a general formula obtained by A.~Zamolodchikov for the critical coupling.

description: We propose a parsimonious spatiotemporal model for time series data on a spatial grid. Our model is capable of dealing with high-dimensional time series data that may be collected at hundreds of locations and capturing the spatial non-stationarity. In essence, our model is a vector autoregressive model that utilizes the spatial structure to achieve parsimony of autoregressive matrices at two levels. The first level ensures the sparsity of the autoregressive matrices using a lagged-neighborhood scheme. The second level performs a spatial clustering of the non-zero autoregressive coefficients such that nearby locations share similar coefficients. This model is interpretable and can be used to identify geographical subregions, within each of which, the time series share similar dynamical behavior with homogeneous autoregressive coefficients. The model parameters are obtained using the penalized maximum likelihood with an adaptive fused Lasso penalty. The estimation procedure is easy to implement and can be tailored to the need of a modeler. We illustrate the performance of the proposed estimation algorithm in a simulation study. We apply our model to a wind speed time series dataset generated from a climate model over Saudi Arabia to illustrate its usefulness. Limitations and possible extensions of our method are also discussed.
Passage of Time in a Planck Scale Rooted Local Inertial Structure

description: It is argued that the `problem of time' in quantum gravity necessitates a refinement of the local inertial structure of the world, demanding a replacement of the usual Minkowski line element by a 4+2n dimensional pseudo-Euclidean line element, with the extra 2n being the number of internal phase space dimensions of the observed system. In the refined structure, the inverse of the Planck time takes over the role of observer-independent conversion factor usually played by the speed of light, which now emerges as an invariant but derivative quantity. In the relativistic theory based on the refined structure, energies and momenta turn out to be invariantly bounded from above, and lengths and durations similarly bounded from below, by their respective Planck scale values. Along the external timelike world-lines, the theory naturally captures the `flow of time' as a genuinely structural attribute of the world. The theory also predicts expected deviations--suppressed quadratically by the Planck energy--from the dispersion relations for free fields in the vacuum. The deviations from the special relativistic Doppler shifts predicted by the theory are also suppressed quadratically by the Planck energy. Nonetheless, in order to estimate the precision required to distinguish the theory from special relativity, an experiment with a binary pulsar emitting TeV range gamma-rays is considered in the context of the predicted deviations from the second-order shifts.

description: No biological predictors for the increased risk of thrombosis in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) have been identified. The aim of the study was to investigate platelet and neutrophil activation as well neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in 63 ITP patients and 30 healthy volunteers. Platelet and neutrophil activation was assessed during steady state using flow cytometry analysis, and NETs were evaluated by quantitation of cell free DNA (cfDNA), and citrullinated histone-3-DNA (CitH3-DNA). Patient platelets and neutrophils showed increased CD62 and CD11b expression compared to controls (p = .038, and p = .022, respectively). In patients, platelet activation inversely correlated with platelet count and platelet size (p p = .024). More NET formation, both CitH3-DNA (p = .025) and cfDNA(p p = .042), but higher levels of cfDNA were observed in individuals with classical cardiovascular risk factors for thrombosis, and in those with a previous history of thrombotic events. In this disease, the increased platelet activation and plasma NET levels seem to be separable processes that associate (either positively or inversely in the case of CitH3-DNA or platelet degranulation, respectively) to platelet mass.

description: Hungary can benefit from the resources of the European Union’s Structural Funds, inter alia the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) from 1st January 2004. However the preparation has started much earlier, in 2000. Nowadays, the use of the Structural Funds within the field of rural development is progressing well, and simultaneously the phasing-in for the next budgetary period has already been started. Substantial changes will be made to the financial mechanism of rural development in the 2007-2013 period. This field will receive much greater emphasis due to its separation from the structural funds and the creation of its own financing mechanism: the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). This single fund will resolve the problem of the previous periods, namely the fragmented system of providing support to rural development. The newly established EAFRD also implies some challenges to be faced by Member States, including Hungary. These challenges mainly derive from the current regulation of rural development, which is based on the Structural Funds. The challenges affect the following fields: strategic planning, establishment of the institutional background, and the operation of the monitoring system. National systems related to EAFRD need to be established with the fewest possible changes in comparison to the Structural Funds. As part of the preparations for the EAFRD the national strategy of financing rural development, i.e. the National Agricultural and Rural Development Strategy for 2007-2013 has been developed and published for partnership consultation. This strategy in its present form serves as a good basis for starting co-operation in the planning phase, however, it also raises many questions that need to be discussed. The dual objective of the present study is, firstly, to highlight the challenges Hungary has to face during the introduction of the new financial mechanism for rural development and to provide alternative solutions for the questions raised. Secondly it seeks to point out the weaknesses of the national strategy for rural development by analysing the document from the viewpoints of sustainability, harmonisation with other financing instruments, confusion of indicators, and supporting institutional infrastructure.

description: We give a computational complexity argument against the feasibility of quantum computers. We identify a very low complexity class of probability distributions described by noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers, and explain why it will allow neither good-quality quantum error-correction nor a demonstration of "quantum supremacy." Some general principles governing the behavior of noisy quantum systems are derived. Our work supports the "physical Church thesis" studied by Pitowsky (1990) and follows his vision of using abstract ideas about computation to study the performance of actual physical computers.

description: This secondary research on rural sub-regional tourism investigates the individual quantitative factors influencing it and the connections between them. The analysis concentrates on the economic and touristic potential of rural sub-regions as well as on the performance of tourism. Based on the method of comparison against the average, rural sub-regions were classified according to their possible strategies of tourism development. The tourism of rural sub-regions is fundamentally independent from the performance of their economies. Among multivariate analysis methods it is principal component analysis that demonstrates the most influential criteria and their interconnections. Based on this determination of the “tourism-factor”, it is possible to classify sub-regions into four categories: “tourist paradise”, “catching-up”, “wasteful” (i.e. failing to seize their opportunities), and “insignificant”. The development of sub-regions belonging to the same category can be based on identical strategies. This classification can be a useful starting point for concepts of rural development and the development of tourism.

description: There has been an increasing interest over the last several years among agricultural economists and statisticians in population projections, including regional trends in their probable effect upon geographic shifts or regional rates of increase in farm production. In this article, Jacob S. Siegel of the Bureau of the Census joins with Margaret Jarman Hagood of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics in developing population projections to 1975 for each of the major geographic regions of the United States, consistent with the Census Bureau's recent population projections to 1960 for the United States and unofficial extensions of these projections to 1975. This cooperative effort represents a further contribution by Dr. Hagood to a field to which she has contributed during recent years and a beginning of work on regional projections by the Bureau of the Census.-O.V.

description: Bilirubin ditaurate (BRT), a conjugated bilirubin analogue, has demonstrated anti-platelet characteristics following acute ex vivo exposure. Scavenging of mitochondrial superoxide and attenuation of granule exocytosis suggested a potential benefit for including BRT for storage. With no reports of cytotoxicity following acute exposure, the impact of 35µM BRT on platelet function was investigated, in clinically suppled units, for up to seven days. Exposure to 35µM BRT significantly reduced mitochondrial membrane potential and increased glucose consumption until exhaustion after 72 hours. Platelet aggregation and activation was significantly impaired by BRT. Mitochondrial superoxide production and phosphatidylserine expression were significantly elevated following glucose exhaustion, with decreased viability observed from day five onwards. Lactate accumulation and loss of bicarbonate, support a metabolic disturbance, leading to a decline of quality following BRT inclusion. Although acute ex vivo BRT exposure reported potentially beneficial effects, translation from acute to chronic exposure failed to combat declining platelet function during storage. BRT exposure resulted in perturbations of platelet quality, with the utility of BRT during storage therefore limited. However, these are the first data of prolonged platelet exposure to analogues of conjugated bilirubin and may improve our understanding of platelet function in the context of conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
Making Changes Feasible on Small Farms

description: There is growing interest in the problem of low-income farmers on under-productive farms. This interest has been heightened by the need for full production in connection with the defense effort. This paper presents a research analysis of the problem that this poses as exemplified by the situation of small farmers in the Southern Piedmont of North Carolina. It describes a representative small farm in such terms as capital investment and organization; outlines what such a farm would require to make it as efficient as possible under the limits defined; and outlines a programmatic approach that would make it feasible to bring about the needed changes.

description: We report the results of a long observation of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849-400910 obtained with the BeppoSAX satellite in August 2001. The best-fit phase-averaged spectrum was an absorbed power law plus blackbody model, with photon index Gamma~2.4 and a blackbody temperature of kT_bb~0.4 keV. We confirm the presence of significant spectral variations with the rotational phase of the pulsar. In the spectrum corresponding to the rising part of the pulse we found an absorption-like feature at ~8.1 keV (a significance of 4 sigma), most likely due to cyclotron resonant scattering. The centroid energy converts to a magnetic field of 9x10^11 G and 1.6x10^15 G in the case of electrons and protons, respectively. If confirmed, this would be the first detection of a cyclotron feature in the spectrum of an anomalous X-ray pulsar.

Fermion pairing in Bose-Fermi mixtures

description: An effective interaction between fermions in a Bose-Fermi mixture is derived. It is induced by density fluctuations of the bosonic background. The contributions from states containing both one and two virtual phonons are taken into account self-consistently. The time dependence of the effective interaction has been removed by assuming that the velocity of the fermions at the Fermi surface is much larger than the sound velocity in the Bose gas. The fermions are considered in only one magnetic state, so that pairing can be effective only in odd-l channels. It has been found that the onset of the superconducting phase can occur at temperatures (> 100nK) of the same order of magnitude as the Fermi temperature (300nK), and the energy gap in the excitation spectrum is a small fraction (1%) of the Fermi energy.

Self-consistent approach to the description of relaxation processes in classical multiparticle systems

description: The concept of time correlation functions is a very convenient theoretical tool in describing relaxation processes in multiparticle systems because, on one hand, correlation functions are directly related to experimentally measured quantities (for example, intensities in spectroscopic studies and kinetic coefficients via the Kubo-Green relation) and, on the other hand, the concept is also applicable beyond the equilibrium case. We show that the formalism of memory functions and the method of recurrence relations allow formulating a self-consistent approach for describing relaxation processes in classical multiparticle systems without needing a priori approximations of time correlation functions by model dependencies and with the satisfaction of sum rules and other physical conditions guaranteed. We also demonstrate that the approach can be used to treat the simplest relaxation scenarios and to develop microscopic theories of transport phenomena in liquids, the propagation of density fluctuations in equilibrium simple liquids, and structure relaxation in supercooled liquids. This approach generalizes the mode-coupling approximation in the Götze-Leutheusser realization and the Yulmetyev-Shurygin correlation approximations.

Constraining the solutions of an inverse method of stellar population synthesis

description: In three previous papers (Pelat 1997, 1998 and Moultaka & Pelat 2000), we set out an inverse stellar population synthesis method which uses a database of stellar spectra. Unlike other methods, this one provides a full knowledge of all possible solutions as well as a good estimation of their stability; moreover, it provides the unique approximate solution, when the problem is overdetermined, using a rigorous minimization procedure. In Boisson et al. (2000), this method has been applied to 10 active and 2 normal galaxies. In this paper we analyse the results of the method after constraining the solutions. Adding {\it a priori} physical conditions on the solutions constitutes a good way to regularize the synthesis problem. As an illustration we introduce physical constraints on the relative number of stars taking into account our present knowledge of the initial mass function in galaxies. In order to avoid biases on the solutions due to such constraints, we use constraints involving only inequalities between the number of stars, after dividing the H-R diagram into various groups of stellar masses. We discuss the results for a well-known globular cluster of the galaxy M31 and discuss some of the galaxies studied in Boisson et al. (2000). We find that, given the spectral resolution and the spectral domain, the method is very stable according to such constraints (i.e. the constrained solutions are almost the same as the unconstrained one). However, an additional information can be derived about the evolutionary stage of the last burst of star formation, but the precise age of this particular burst seems to be questionable.
