description: This study analyzes three farm bill proposals that could replace the Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act: The U.S. House of Representatives Bill H.R. 2646, the Senate Agriculture Committee Proposal, and the Agricultural Conservation Rural Enhancement (ACRE) Act. All proposals try to incorporate the additional emergency federal funding that agriculture received in 1998 through 2001 into legislative language. All proposals provide substantially higher net farm income than the continuation of the FAIR Act. The ACRE Act provides higher net farm income than either the House Bill or the Senate Proposal, however net farm income under the House Bill is higher than under the Senate Proposal given the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute's (FAPRI's) commodity price estimates. Regions of the state which produce row crops, corn, and oilseeds, would have higher net farm income under the Senate Proposal. If commodity prices increase faster than FAPRI's estimates, the ACRE Act should provide more support because more of the governmental support is in the form of direct payments. However, if prices lag behind FAPRI's estimates, the Senate Proposal should provide higher support because of the higher loan rates.

description: The Shapiro conjecture in the real Schubert calculus, while likely true for Grassmannians, fails to hold for flag manifolds, but in a very interesting way. We give a refinement of the Shapiro conjecture for the flag manifold and present massive (15.76 gigahertz-years) computational experimentation in support of this refined conjecture. We also prove the conjecture in some special cases using discriminants and establish relationships between different cases of the conjecture.

Molecular interactions and signaling mediated by the cell adhesion molecule CD44
Creators: name: Li, Ruihong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: CD44 mediates cell adhesion and cell migration in leukocytes. Most of these functions involve the interaction of cell surface CD44 with one of its most characterized ligands, hyaluronan or HA, a component of the extracellular matrix. The ability of CD44 to bind HA is strictly regulated in leukocytes such that not all CD44-expressing cells will bind HA. All three domains of CD44, the extracellular domain, the transmembrane domain, and the cytoplasmic domain, regulate HA binding. The extracellular domain of CD44 has been studied extensively for its regulation on HA binding, however, the mechanisms by which the transmembrane and the cytoplasmic domains of CD44 influence HA binding are poorly understood. In this study, therefore, I have focused on the roles for the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of CD44 in regulating HA binding and signaling in leukocytes. Using chimeric CD44 molecules, the transmembrane domain of CD44 was shown to be responsible for the non-covalent association of CD44 in the plasma membrane of T cells. This self-association of CD44 was found to facilitate HA binding. In addition, CD44 was also observed to associate with the cytoskeletal components, ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM), with Srcfamily kinases, Lck and Fyn, and with an adapter protein, Grb-2. CD44 interacted with ERM proteins in T cells and myeloid cells. In vitro, this interaction required a low ionic strength and the presence of EDTA, as well as the integrity of actin filaments. The interactions of CD44 with Src-family kinases and Grb-2 took place in T cells. CD44 interacted with the Src-family kinase Lck in the membrane lipid microdomains, which are important for receptor signal transduction. In BW5147 T cells, this CD44-Lck interaction, as well as the distribution of Lck in lipid microdomains, is negatively regulated by CD45, a leukocyte specific tyrosine phosphatase. More strikingly, in the absence of CD45, BW5147 T cells underwent cell spreading concomitant with the tyrosine phosphorylation of Pyk2 and FAK upon stimulation by an anti-CD44 antibody. Inhibition of the activity of Src-family kinases abolished CD44- mediated cell spreading as well as the tyrosine phosphorylation of Pyk2 and FAK. Therefore, signals via cell surface CD44 may induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of Pyk2 or FAK through the interaction with Src-family kinases, which then triggers downstream cellular events, leading to cell spreading. CD45 acts as a negative regulator of this process by inhibiting the molecular interaction of CD44 and Src-family kinases. In summary, this study identified a regulatory mechanism for HA binding by the transmembrane domain of CD44, as well as the molecular interactions and the signaling events mediated by CD44 in leukocytes.

description: High-dispersion spectra for giants through turnoff stars in the Li 6708 Angstrom region have been obtained and analyzed in the old, metal-deficient open cluster, NGC 2243. When combined with high dispersion data from other surveys, the cluster is found to contain a uniquely peculiar star at the luminosity level of the red clump. The giant is the reddest star at its luminosity, exhibits variability at a minimum 0.1 mag level on a timescale of days, is a single-lined, radial-velocity variable, and has V_sin(i) between 35 and 40 km/sec. In sharp contrast with the majority of the red giant cluster members, the star has a detectable Li abundance, potentially as high or higher than other giants observed to date while at or just below the boundary normally adopted for Li-rich giants. The observed anomalies may be indicators of the underlying process by which the giant has achieved its unusual Li abundance, with a recent mass transfer episode being the most probable within the currently limited constraints.

description: Education can play a critical role in moving farmers in developing countries away from environmentally harmful slash and burn agriculture. The present research examines the extent to which extension education can promote adoption of cropping systems other than slash and burn. Choice of cropping system by farmers in Cameroon, whether slash and burn, multiple crops, or mono-cropping, is modeled as a function of farm size, farmer educational level, and visits by extension personnel. Results indicate that higher visitation rates by extension personnel reduce not only the likelihood of farmers choosing slash and burn agriculture, but also promotes movement into mono-cropping. Since mono-cropping represents a move toward export-oriented agriculture in Cameroon, this movement may assist in promoting greater economic development across western Africa. Continued efforts in extension education are, therefore, critical in both reducing the environmental damage from slash and burn agriculture and promoting adoption of more profitable cropping systems.

description: We have determined the morphological types of 2295 galaxies from the ESO Nearby Abell Cluster Survey (ENACS) from CCD images made with the Dutch telescope on La Silla. The reliability of our classification appears to be quite comparable to that of other classifiers. Recalibration of the ENACS spectral classification shows that early- and late- type galaxies can be distinguished from their spectra with 83% reliability. Ellipticals and S0 galaxies cannot be distinguished spectrally, while spectral classification of late spirals has a reliability of 70%. We derive average pseudo-colors and linestrengths from the ENACS spectra for the galaxies of different morphological types, considering bright (M <= -20) and faint (M > -20) subsets of the galaxies without emission lines (non-ELG) separately. We find a strong and significant correlation between the average color and the average strength of the metal absorption lines. The average metallicity decreases and the average color gets bluer towards later Hubble type. In each morphological class the faint galaxies are bluer and less metal-rich than the bright ones. This extends the well-established color-magnitude relation of early-type galaxies to (late) spirals. Bright early spirals may, on average, have somewhat stronger H-delta absorption than the other galaxies, which could be due to recent starformation. The galaxies with emission lines (ELG) have a bluer spectral continuum than the non-ELG, and the amount of blueing hardly depends on morphological type. The fraction of ELG depends strongly on morphological type but it varies very little with projected distance from the cluster center.

description: We discuss the response of a quantum system to a time-dependent perturbation with spectrum Φ(ω). This is characterised by a rate constant D describing the diffusion of occupation probability between levels. We calculate the transition rates by first-order perturbation theory, so that multiplying Φ(ω) by a constant λchanges the diffusion constant to λD. However, we discuss circumstances where this linearity does notextend to the function space of intensities, so that if intensities Φ_i(ω) yield diffusion constants D_i, then the intensity \sum_i Φ_i(ω) does not result in a diffusion constant \sum_i D_i. This `semilinear' response can occur in the absorption of radiation by small metal particles.

description: This paper presents a methodology for assessing the visual quality of agricultural landscapes through direct and indirect techniques of landscape valuation. The first technique enables us to rank agricultural landscapes on the basis of a survey of public preferences. The latter weighs the contribution of the elements and attributes contained in the picture to its overall scenic beauty via regression analysis. The photos used in the survey included man-made elements, positive and negative, agricultural fields, mainly of cereals and olive trees, and a natural park. The results show that perceived visual quality increases, in decreasing order of importance, with the degree of wilderness of the landscape, the presence of well-preserved man-made elements, the percentage of plant cover, the amount of water, the presence of mountains and the colour contrast.

description: The X and gamma-ray observations of the source GRB 031203 by INTEGRAL are interpreted within our theoretical model. In addition to a complete space-time parametrization of the GRB, we specifically assume that the afterglow emission originates from a thermal spectrum in the co-moving frame of the expanding baryonic matter shell. By determining the two free parameters of the model and estimating the density and filamentary structure of the ISM, we reproduce the observed luminosity in the 20-200 keV energy band. As in previous sources, the prompt radiation is shown to coincide with the peak of the afterglow and the luminosity substructure are shown to originate in the filamentary structure of the ISM. We predict a clear hard-to-soft behavior in the instantaneous spectra. The time-integrated spectrum over 20 seconds observed by INTEGRAL is well fitted. Despite this source has been considered "unusual", it appears to us a normal low energetic GRB.

description: Without support, the levels of agricultural public goods will fall short of the demand in high cost countries like Norway, Finland and Iceland. However, as demonstrated in this paper using Norway as a case, the current support and agricultural activity is far out of proportions from a public goods perspective. Model simulations show that at most 40% of the current support level can be defended by the public good argument. Furthermore, the present support, stimulating high production levels, is badly targeted at the public goods in question. Since agricultural land is a major component of both food security and landscape preservation, thus giving rise to a high degree of cost complementarities between the two public goods, it would be more efficient to support land extensive production techniques, than production per se.

description: In this note we examine the properties of deconstructed Higgsless models for the case of a fermion whose SU(2) properties arise from delocalization over many sites of the deconstructed lattice. We derive expressions for the correlation functions and use these to establish a generalized consistency relation among correlation functions. We discuss the form of the W boson wavefunction and show that if the probability distribution of the delocalized fermions is appropriately related to the W wavefunction, then deviations in precision electroweak parameters are minimized. In particular, we show that this "ideal fermion delocalization" results in the vanishing of three of the four leading zero-momentum electroweak parameters defined by Barbieri, et. al. We then discuss ideal fermion delocalization in the context of two continuum Higgsless models, one in Anti-deSitter space and one in flat space. Our results may be applied to any Higgsless linear moose model with multiple SU(2) groups, including those with only a few extra vector bosons.

description: We consider Weyl's conformal gravity coupled to a complex matter field in Weyl geometry. It is shown that a Higgs potential naturally arises from a $\tilde R^2$ term in moving from the Jordan frame to the Einstein frame. A massless Nambu-Goldstone boson, which stems from spontaneous symmetry breakdown of the Weyl gauge invariance, is absorbed into the Weyl gauge field, thereby the gauge field becoming massive. We present a model where the gravitational interaction generates a Higgs potential whose form is a perfect square. Finally, we show that a theory in the Jordan frame is gauge-equivalent to the corresponding theory in the Einstein frame via the BRST formalism.

description: This paper illustrates the opportunities of incorporating more advanced functional forms into multi-country trade policy models. It suggests the use of flexible forms such as the Symmetric Generalized McFadden Function (SGMF) or the Normalized Quadratic-Quadratic Expenditure System (NQQES). Particularly if issues namely trade in differentiated products, preferential trade and effects of standards and traceability on bilateral trade are considered the NQQES offers attractive properties since it allows estimating variety specific expenditure elasticities which might compensate for example increased certification costs. A second aim of the paper refers to the critique on the handling of model parameters in calibrated policy models. In general, employed elasticities violate the theoretical conditions. We describe the calibration procedure developed to obtain model parameters consistent with economic theory.

description: We consider a nonlinear optical system in general, and a broad aperture laser in particular in a resonator where the diffraction coefficients are of opposite signs along two transverse directions. The system is described by the hyperbolic Maxwell-Bloch equations, where the spatial coupling is provided by the DAlambert operator rather than by the Laplace operator. We show that this system supports hyperbolic transverse patterns residing on hyperbolas in far field domain, and consisting of stretched vortices in near field domain. These structures are described analytically by normal form analysis, and investigated numerically.

description: This paper presents an analytical framework for studying the impact of mandatory labelling regulation for transgenic food. We compare Genetically Modified (GM) and conventional crop markets and identify gains for food processors prior to mandatory labelling and losses after this measure for the GM market. Nevertheless, food processors could obtain gains for conventional products after market disgregation. Finally, consumers will be worse off both for conventional and GM foods unless qualities other than changes to prices are considered.

We detect and identify numerous emission lines. CIV and other ions are seen that arise in hot gas. We identify a series of lines with Lyman-pumped H_2 molecular lines, indicating that cool gas is also present. Overall, this substellar object shows many of the same characteristics as classical T Tauri stars. We interpret our results as direct evidence of accretion from a circumstellar gas disk, consistent with previous claims. The lack of SiIV emission from the accreting gas indicates that silicon has been depleted into grains.

description: Glassy, nonexponential relaxations in globular proteins are typically attributed to conformational behaviors that are missing from intrinsically disordered proteins. Yet, we show that single molecules of a disordered-protein construct display two signatures of glassy dynamics, logarithmic relaxations and a Kovacs memory effect, in response to changes in applied tension. We attribute this to the presence of multiple independent local structures in the chain, which we corroborate with a model that correctly predicts the force dependence of the relaxation. The mechanism established here likely applies to other disordered proteins.

description: Linear-Optical Passive (LOP) devices and photon counters are sufficient to implement universal quantum computation with single photons, and particular schemes have already been proposed. In this paper we discuss the link between the algebraic structure of LOP transformations and quantum computing. We first show how to decompose the Fock space of N optical modes in finite-dimensional subspaces that are suitable for encoding strings of qubits and invariant under LOP transformations (these subspaces are related to the spaces of irreducible unitary representations of U(N)). Next we show how to design in algorithmic fashion LOP circuits which implement any quantum circuit deterministically. We also present some simple examples, such as the circuits implementing a CNOT gate and a Bell-State Generator/Analyzer.

description: This paper quantifies the impact of abolishing EU import barriers with respect to fruits and vegetables for sixteen fruits and vegetables. The estimations made are based on HORTUS, a supply and demand model for fruits and vegetables developed at LEI. HORTUS models the production, consumption and bilateral trade in fruits and vegetables for all EU25-countries, Morocco, Turkey and the Rest of the World. The paper shows that trade liberalisation has a large impact on European fruit production and trade. EU fruit production and exports are likely to fall substantially. European vegetable production and exports are relatively sheltered and are likely to benefit from the decline in EU fruit production.
Collecting Service-Based Maintainability Metrics from RESTful API Descriptions: Static Analysis and Threshold Derivation

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: While many maintainability metrics have been explicitly designed for service-based systems, tool-supported approaches to automatically collect these metrics are lacking. Especially in the context of microservices, decentralization and technological heterogeneity may pose challenges for static analysis. We therefore propose the modular and extensible RAMA approach (RESTful API Metric Analyzer) to calculate such metrics from machine-readable interface descriptions of RESTful services. We also provide prototypical tool support, the RAMA CLI, which currently parses the formats OpenAPI, RAML, and WADL and calculates 10 structural service-based metrics proposed in scientific literature. To make RAMA measurement results more actionable, we additionally designed a repeatable benchmark for quartile-based threshold ranges (green, yellow, orange, red). In an exemplary run, we derived thresholds for all RAMA CLI metrics from the interface descriptions of 1,737 publicly available RESTful APIs. Researchers and practitioners can use RAMA to evaluate the maintainability of RESTful services or to support the empirical evaluation of new service interface metrics.

Form factors of descendant operators in the massive Lee-Yang model

description: The form factors of the descendant operators in the massive Lee-Yang model are determined up to level 7. This is first done by exploiting the conserved quantities of the integrable theory to generate the solutions for the descendants starting from the lowest non-trivial solutions in each operator family. We then show that the operator space generated in this way, which is isomorphic to the conformal one, coincides, level by level, with that implied by the $S$-matrix through the form factor bootstrap. The solutions we determine satisfy asymptotic conditions carrying the information about the level that we conjecture to hold for all the operators of the model.

description: Key issues in the effective delivery of EU-funded rural development programmes include simplification, transparency and accessibility. This paper draws upon the experience of rural development programming, as presented in a number of case studies drawn from recent and ongoing research by the author and others, and discussed in the panel sessions at the Salzburg RD conference in 2003, to summarise outstanding needs in these areas. Central areas of concern include a lack of local flexibility and poor integration between top-level goals at the point of delivery, as well as a lack of trust and support for capacity building and innovation among local delivery agents, where synergies between economic, environmental and social aims can most readily be identified and pursued. The summary of needs is then used to critically analyse the Commission's new draft Regulation for Rural Development beyond 2007 and to identify key issues and actions that should guide ongoing developments between now and 2007, both within the Commission and Council and among the full range of national, regional and more local agencies and stakeholders in this process.

description: The paper presents an analysis of the Fischler reform, while the new rural development policy for the seven year period 2007-2013 is still to be defined and other important deadlines are going to mark the near future: WTO negotiation, new Financial Perspectives, new European structural and cohesion policy, and the enlargement process is rolling on. Furthermore, several actors on the scene are new: new Member States, new Commission, new Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Affairs, new European Parliament. The main objective of this paper is to provide an overall evaluation of the ongoing reform process, pointing out the main strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, for animating the scientific and political debate on the further steps on CAP reform, towards a new rural development policy.

description: We consider how to organize the processing and marketing of an agricultural product when farming costs are known only by the individual farmers. We show that when marginal costs are un-correlated, the market for nal goods is competitive, and the market for processing is non-competitive, the socially optimal production levels are sustained by a cooperative and a cooperative only. We show also that the cooperative form is particularly useful when the cost uncertainty is large and the net average revenue product is small.

description: The presence of sharp peaks in the real part of the static dielectric response function are usually accepted as indication of charge or spin instabilities in a material. However, there are misconceptions that Fermi surface (FS) nesting guarantees a peak in the response function like in one-dimensional systems, and, in addition, response function matrix elements between empty and occupied states are usually considered of secondary importance and typically set to unity like in the free electron gas case. In this work, we explicitly show, through model systems and real materials, within the framework of density functional theory, that predictions about the peaks in the response function, using FS nesting and constant matrix elements yields erroneous conclusions. We find that the inclusion of the matrix elements completely alters the structure of the response function. In all the cases studied other than the one-dimensional case we find that the inclusion of matrix elements washes out the structure found with constant matrix elements. Our conclusion is that it is imperative to calculate the full response function, with matrix elements, when making predictions about instabilities in novel materials.

description: The significance of the processed food products in agricultural and food trade is increasing in Slovenia as well as in the other developed countries. The large share of agricultural and food trade is inter-industry trade. The significance of intra-industry trade (IIT) is increasing with the degree of processing. In particular, IIT is based on products differentiated in quality where low quality vertical IIT prevails. This kind of trade specialization and trade patterns, together with trade geography, imply some similarities in these trade developments with developing countries and countries with less competitive food processing rather than with more advanced European Union countries with the competitive food processing sector.

description: Using the Riesz-Feller fractional derivative, we apply the factorization algorithm to the fractional quantum harmonic oscillator along the lines previously proposed by Olivar-Romero and Rosas-Ortiz, extending their results. We solve the non-Hermitian fractional eigenvalue problem in the k space by introducing in that space a new class of Hermite `polynomials' that we call Riesz-Feller Hermite `polynomials'. Using the inverse Fourier transform in Mathematica, interesting analytic results for the same eigenvalue problem in the x space are also obtained. Additionally, a more general factorization with two different Levy indices is briefly introduced
