description: Attaining farm business success is a major challenge in agricultural regions in Australia where the climate is projected to become drier and more variable represent. Developing effective risk management strategies becomes an important part of farm business management. In these environments the conventional view is often that business success requires the higher yields and higher profits in good years, often supported by additional farm inputs, to offset losses in poorer years. Some farmers, however, are questioning the merits of this high-risk; high-reward approach. In this paper we draw on a case study of a famer who has adopted a strategy aimed at greatly reducing operating costs in order to self-finance the farm’s operating capital. This way of structuring the management of his farm operation is very different from the traditional small business approach of using bank finance for operating capital. In drying, more volatile environments on-going reliance on bank finance for operating capital will become increasingly problematic and demand new approaches to funding the balance sheet of the business. We used farm financial modelling that draws on validated crop growth simulation modelling (APSIM) to assess the merits of this farmer’s low-input approach. When various performance metrics are applied, such as farm profit and peak debt, over a range of seasons the low input business strategy appears to be robust.

description: This brief highlights the quality concerns of inorganic fertilizers on the Ugandan market. The findings reported are an excerpt from a study that analysed the quality of inorganic fertilizers on the Ugandan market1. The analysis was based on 170 samples (in 50 kg bags and small 1-2 kg packs) of the commonly used fertilizers on the Ugandan market i.e. urea, NPK, DAP and CAN that were purchased and subjected to rigorous laboratory tests. Procedures followed in the purchasing of fertilizer samples mimicked a farmer purchasing fertilizers randomly from any input dealer countrywide. Analytical results from the fertilizer samples revealed low quality fertilizers with moisture content above acceptable limits of 0.5-1.5 percent; and untruthfulness in both weight and nutrient content. In some instances, the nutrient content quoted on the labels did not match with the analytical content. This has serious consequences because fertilizer recommendations are based on the nutrient content. If the nutrients are not of the right quality, then the end-user (a farmer) will not attain the intended crop response to fertilizer application. The study findings reveal that re-packaging fertiliser into smaller quantities is justifiable to meet the requirements of smallholder farmers, but leads to loss of nutrients (especially nitrogen); and also aggravates the high moisture content problem. Results reveal gaps in the current regulatory system; therefore there is an urgent need for government to approve and operationalize the fertilizer policy, regulations and strategy.

description: We analyse the epoch of reheating after an inflationary phase in the Randal Sundrum(RS) Type-$\rm II$ braneworld, where we did not consider any particular model of inflation, but rather reconstructed the inflationary potential solving the flow equations using Monte Carlo (MC) approach. It is shown numerically that a potential conceived through the MC reconstruction technique can be represented by an effective potential as a function of the number of e-foldings($N$). Then, the epoch of reheating is studied for this reconstructed potential. The relation between the reheating temperature ($T_{\rm reh}$) and the 5-dimensional Planck mass($M_5$) is established. Moreover, it is argued that there is a stringent bound on the critical reheating temperature that also translates to a tight bound on $M_5$ .

description: The paging problem is that of deciding which pages to keep in a memory of k pages in order to minimize the number of page faults. This paper introduces the marking algorithm, a simple randomized on-line algorithm for the paging problem, and gives a proof that its performance guarantee (competitive ratio) is O(log k). In contrast, no deterministic on-line algorithm can have a performance guarantee better than k.

description: Gravitational radiation is an elusive form of radiation predicted by general relativity, it is the subject of intense theoretical and experimental research at the limit of the sensitivity of today's instrumentation. In spite of the fact that no direct evidence of this radiation now exist, observed astrophysical phenomena have given convincing proofs of its existence. Theories predict that gravitational radiation may also be employed for propulsion, moreover the nonlinear behaviour of spacetime may permit the generation of spacetime singularities with colliding beams of gravitational radiation, this phenomenon could become a form of propellantless propulsion. Both applications would require gravitational wave generators with high power and appropriate optical properties. Among the proposed techniques that could be applicable to the production of gravitational waves, a promising one is the possible emission of gravitons by quantum systems. A hypothesis describing the production of gravitons in s-wave/d-wave superconductor junction is presented.

description: Provision of skills training has been identified by Government of Uganda as one of the major initiatives to be undertaken to make youth more enterprising and address the skills mismatch employers are grappling with. A review of evidence on skills provision shows that a combination of skills training yield higher impacts on labour market outcomes than training in a single skill alone. In addition, training targeted at every stage of entrepreneurial development (mind-set, incubation, start-up, growth and expansion) are vital in sustaining businesses venture over the long-term with emphasis on peer-to-pear mentoring.

Differential Privacy Via a Truncated and Normalized Laplace Mechanism

description: When querying databases containing sensitive information, the privacy of individuals stored in the database has to be guaranteed. Such guarantees are provided by differentially private mechanisms which add controlled noise to the query responses. However, most such mechanisms do not take into consideration the valid range of the query being posed. Thus, noisy responses that fall outside of this range may potentially be produced. To rectify this and therefore improve the utility of the mechanism, the commonly used Laplace distribution can be truncated to the valid range of the query and then normalized. However, such a data-dependent operation of normalization leaks additional information about the true query response thereby violating the differential privacy guarantee. Here, we propose a new method which preserves the differential privacy guarantee through a careful determination of an appropriate scaling parameter for the Laplace distribution. We also generalize the privacy guarantee in the context of the Laplace distribution to account for data-dependent normalization factors and study this guarantee for different classes of range constraint configurations. We provide derivations of the optimal scaling parameter (i.e., the minimal value that preserves differential privacy) for each class or provide an approximation thereof. As a consequence of this work, one can use the Laplace distribution to answer queries in a range-adherent and differentially private manner.

description: Access to formal financial services remains limited in Uganda. Only 4 percent of the youth have access to formal credit institutions. As a result, youth are increasingly accessing microcredit to finance their business enterprises. However, several studies reviewed reveal that in-kind grants perform better than cash grants. In addition, impacts differ across gender with male youths registering more notable successes on business turnover than their female counterparts. Strict eligibility criteria, approval of business plans, family pressure, motivation, initial credit constraints and few initial assets were some of the contributing factors in driving gender differences of financial impacts.

description: Many end-user evaluations of data visualization techniques have been run during the last decades. Their results are cornerstones to build efficient visualization systems. However, designing such an evaluation is always complex and time-consuming and may end in a lack of statistical evidence and reproducibility. We believe that modern and efficient computer vision techniques, such as deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), may help visualization researchers to build and/or adjust their evaluation hypothesis. The basis of our idea is to train machine learning models on several visualization techniques to solve a specific task. Our assumption is that it is possible to compare the efficiency of visualization techniques based on the performance of their corresponding model. As current machine learning models are not able to strictly reflect human capabilities, including their imperfections, such results should be interpreted with caution. However, we think that using machine learning-based pre-evaluation, as a pre-process of standard user evaluations, should help researchers to perform a more exhaustive study of their design space. Thus, it should improve their final user evaluation by providing it better test cases. In this paper, we present the results of two experiments we have conducted to assess how correlated the performance of users and computer vision techniques can be. That study compares two mainstream graph visualization techniques: node-link (\NL) and adjacency-matrix (\MD) diagrams. Using two well-known deep convolutional neural networks, we partially reproduced user evaluations from Ghoniem \textit{et al.} and from Okoe \textit{et al.}. These experiments showed that some user evaluation results can be reproduced automatically.

description: After implementing the Universal Primary Education policy for 10 years, Uganda initiated the Universal Secondary Education (USE) policy in 2007. The objective of the USE initiative was to equitably increasing access to secondary education. The policy is implemented by public secondary schools as well as through a Public-Private Partnership (USE PPP) between the Ministry of Education and Sports and selected private secondary schools—mainly in sub counties without any public secondary schools. Within USE PPP, the government provides a subsidy (capitation grant) to private schools to enrol UPE graduates. This brief examines the performance of the USE PPP. The focus on USE PPP is due to the fact that this type of arrangement never existed prior to the USE policy. Based on primary data collected by the authors in 2013, we show that the USE PPP is performing moderately well in terms of good accountability, relevance, effectiveness, impact and participation. However, the USE PPP is performing poorly in terms of efficiency and sustainability.
A Matter of Good Taste? Quality and the Construction of Standards for Chocolate Products in the European Union

description: Efforts to harmonise the different national regulations on production and consumption of chocolate in the EU have run into problems since the early 1970s when new member states (Denmark, Ireland and the UK) joined the original six EEC members. In the new member states, manufacturers of chocolate products were allowed to replace some of the cocoa butter with other vegetable fats, known as cocoa butter equivalents (CBEs). In the original member states, however, chocolate manufacturers were not allowed to add CBE to their products. This difference in national food regulations within the EU obviously raises a problem for the establishment of a common market. The problem is not just technical as the difference is socially and commercially constructed by being embedded in : 1) particular national conceptions about quality and chocolate consumption traditions, and 2) particular industrial structures, i.e. variations in the relative power of the different actors within the national chocolate industries. The present paper examines different actor perspectives on quality. The actors involved are embedded in different segments of the chocolate chain, ranging from consumers to producers of basic raw materials. By examining how – and by whom – the different conceptions of quality are introduced, contested and reconfigured, the paper shows how a complex set of views on quality are transformed into standards. Standards are considered as the formalisation into rules and regulatory structures of a temporary compromise – as asymmetrical as it may be – between social actors.

description: We identified a highly-polarized, steep-spectrum radio source in a deep image with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope at 888 MHz. After considering and rejecting a stellar origin for this source, we discovered a new millisecond pulsar (MSP) using observations from the Parkes radio telescope. This pulsar has period 2.77 ms and dispersion measure 228.27 pc/cm**3. Although this pulsar does not yet appear to be particularly remarkable, the short spin period, wide profile and high dispersion measure do make it relatively hard to discover through traditional blind periodicity searches. Over the course of several weeks we see changes in the barycentric period of this pulsar that are consistent with orbital motion in a binary system, but the properties of any binary need to be confirmed by further observations. While even a deep ASKAP survey may not identify large numbers of new MSPs compared to the existing population, it would be competitive with existing all-sky surveys and could discover interesting new MSPs at high Galactic latitude without the need for computationally-expensive all-sky periodicity searches.

description: A general technique is presented for constructing a quantum theory of a finite number of interacting particles satisfying Poincaré invariance, cluster separability, and the spectral condition. Irreducible representations and Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of the Poincaré group are the central elements of the construction. A different realization of the dynamics is obtained for each basis of an irreducible representation of the Poincaré group. Unitary operators that relate the different realizations of the dynamis are constructed. This technique is distinguished from other solutions of this problem because it does not depend on the kinematic subgroups of Dirac's forms of dynamics. Special basis choices lead to kinematic subgroups.

description: Europe’s power system is still marked by a distinct national component, and despite some regions with strongly integrated power systems, electricity supply today still has a largely national basis. Policies to decarbonise the power sector may fundamentally alter this situation, because power generation from renewable, carbon-neutral sources may require large, flexible, and heterogenic power pools as backdrop for efficient operation. Integration of little or non-integrated parts of the European power system is therefore a key element for the successful transition of the European power sector towards more renewables. But a development which fosters integration, growing transmission distances and bigger markets will likely lead to a reshuffling of allocation of power generation capacity in Europe. As with any fundamental policy change, decarbonisation of the power sector will create new winners and losers. Moreover, an integrated power system will probably cause new dependencies on the good-will of neighbouring countries. Europe is hence confronted with a ‘catch-22’: On the one hand, policy makers see the advantages of renewables and the exploitation of domestic energy resources, yet the necessary adaptations of power generation, distribution and consumption implies the risk of ‘harming’ the national power sector. EU policies to increase renewables and to create an internal energy market (IEM) thus aim at ameliorating this situation by e.g. both stimulating construction of renewable energy infrastructure and creating more interconnectors between member states. But due to various interests at the national level, member states’ levels of ambitions in contributing to achieving these overarching targets vary a lot. The instruments the European Union has at her hands will therefore have to be refined if the reluctance of member states to integrate power systems is to be overcome.

description: We numerically compute renormalized expectation values of quadratic operators in a quantum field theory (QFT) of free Dirac fermions in curved two-dimensional (Lorentzian) spacetime. First, we use a staggered-fermion discretization to generate a sequence of lattice theories yielding the desired QFT in the continuum limit. Numerically-computed lattice correlators are then used to approximate, through extrapolation, those in the continuum. Finally, we use so-called point-splitting regularization and Hadamard renormalization to remove divergences, and thus obtain finite, renormalized expectation values of quadratic operators in the continuum. As illustrative applications, we show how to recover the Unruh effect in flat spacetime and how to compute renormalized expectation values in the Hawking-Hartle vacuum of a Schwarzschild black hole and in the Bunch-Davies vacuum of an expanding universe described by de Sitter spacetime. Although here we address a non-interacting QFT using free fermion techniques, the framework described in this paper lays the groundwork for a series of subsequent studies involving simulation of interacting QFTs in curved spacetime by tensor network techniques.

$η$--paired superconducting hidden phase in photodoped Mott insulators

description: We show that a metastable $η$--pairing superconducting phase can be induced by photodoping doublons and holes into a strongly repulsive fermionic Hubbard model. The doublon-hole condensate originates from an intrinsic doublon-hole exchange interaction and does not rely on the symmetry of the half-filled Hubbard model. It extends over a wide range of doublon densities and effective temperatures. Different non-equilibrium protocols to realize this state are proposed and numerically tested. We also study the optical conductivity in the superconducting phase, which exhibits ideal metallic behavior, i.e., a delta function at zero-frequency in the conductivity, in conjunction with a negative conductivity at large frequencies. These characteristic optical properties can provide a fingerprint of the $η$-pairing phase in pump-probe experiments.

The lifespan of solutions of semilinear wave equations with the scale-invariant damping in two space dimensions

description: In this paper, we study the initial value problem for semilinear wave equations with the time-dependent and scale-invariant damping in two dimensions. Similarly to the one dimensional case by Kato, Takamura and Wakasa in 2019, we obtain the lifespan estimates of the solution for a special constant in the damping term, which are classified by total integral of the sum of the initial position and speed. The key fact is that, only in two space dimensions, such a special constant in the damping term is a threshold between "wave-like" domain and "heat-like" domain. As a result, we obtain a new type of estimate especially for the critical exponent.

description: Online augmentation of an oblique aerial image sequence with structural information is an essential aspect in the process of 3D scene interpretation and analysis. One key aspect in this is the efficient dense image matching and depth estimation. Here, the Semi-Global Matching (SGM) approach has proven to be one of the most widely used algorithms for efficient depth estimation, providing a good trade-off between accuracy and computational complexity. However, SGM only models a first-order smoothness assumption, thus favoring fronto-parallel surfaces. In this work, we present a hierarchical algorithm that allows for efficient depth and normal map estimation together with confidence measures for each estimate. Our algorithm relies on a plane-sweep multi-image matching followed by an extended SGM optimization that allows to incorporate local surface orientations, thus achieving more consistent and accurate estimates in areasmade up of slanted surfaces, inherent to oblique aerial imagery. We evaluate numerous configurations of our algorithm on two different datasets using an absolute and relative accuracy measure. In our evaluation, we show that the results of our approach are comparable to the ones achieved by refined Structure-from-Motion (SfM) pipelines, such as COLMAP, which are designed for offline processing. In contrast, however, our approach only considers a confined image bundle of an input sequence, thus allowing to perform an online and incremental computation at 1Hz-2Hz.

description: We present the preliminary results of a deep (167 ks) ROSAT HRI observation of the cD galaxy NGC1399 in the Fornax cluster. We find, in agreement with previous observations, an extended (41 Kpc adopting a distance of 19 Mpc) gaseous halo with a luminosity of L_X=(4.41\pm 0.04)x10^{41} erg/s. The 5 arcsec resolution of the data allows us to detect a very complex and asymmetric structure of the halo with respect to the optical galaxy. Moreover the analysis of the radial structure reveals the presence of a multi-component profile not consistent with a simple King model over the whole 40 Kpc. We do not detect the presence of a central source and pose an upper limit to the luminosity of a possible active nucleus. Due to the length of the observation, comparable to that of a deep survey, we detect a large number of sources within the HRI FOV, in slight excess with respect to the estimates based on previous surveys. We study the flux distribution of the sources, their temporal behaviour and their spatial distribution with respect to the central galaxy.

description: Genus Triassurella Nützel and Geiger, 2006
 Type species: Triassurella carnica Nützel and Geiger, 2006 (by original designation), from the Late Triassic Cassian Formation in the Italian Alps.
 Remarks: Although Nützel and Geiger (2006, p. 281) noted that the asymmetrical limpet shape with strong expansion rate as seen in Triassurella, Sutilizona and Temnocinclis is exclusively found in deep-sea families today, they placed Triassurella in the Scissurellidae. It is transferred here to the Sutilizonidae based on the strong similarities between Triassurella goederti n. sp. and Sutilizona theca McLean, 1989.
