description: The membership base of dairy cooperatives has become increasingly unstable in the past decades. Understanding the factors influencing dairy farmers’ rescinding of such memberships is crucial for preventing supplier losses, which may threaten the cooperatives’ competitiveness. Since the dairy sector is characterised by substantial complexity and uncertainty, the broader context in which such decisions take place must be considered. To this end, a factorial survey experiment is developed. The experiment contains descriptions of realistic scenarios that have to be evaluated by the respondents in terms of the incentives to switch. The factors and processes described in the scenarios result from an extensive literature review and a qualitative pre-study with sector experts. Implemented by means of an online survey, the survey experiment was distributed by Northern German dairy cooperatives among their member suppliers. The obtained results provide evidence for the relevance of the prices paid by the cooperative, the current performance of the cooperative, as well as the importance of the farmer orientation of a dairy and the state of the relationship quality. Moreover, findings provide statistical evidence for the influence of other farmers’ switching decisions and neighbouring farmers delivering to a competitor.

description: Over their life course, people change their consumption habits when prices, income, tastes or nutritional needs change. The time period during which an individual grew up is often reflected in his or her consumption of different types of food. To investigate the possible links between demographic changes and food consumption, we constructed two-step censored demand systems for different groups of foods. We estimated the systems using Norwegian data for the 1986 – 2012 period. In the systems, age, period, cohort, other demographic and economic variables are included. The estimated systems are used to construct a long-run forecasting model for meat and dairy products. In this model, younger cohorts replace older cohorts with a different consumption pattern. The total purchases of beef, lamb, pork and fluid milk are predicted to decrease, while the total purchases of chicken, yoghurt and cheese are predicted to increase towards 2027.

description: We consider the highly anisotropic ferromagnetic spin 1/2 Heisenberg chain with periodic boundary conditions. In each sector of constant total z component of the spin, we develop convergent expansions for the lowest band of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. These eigenstates describe droplet states in which the spins essentially form a single linear droplet which can move. Our results also give a convergent expansion for the dispersion relation, i.e., the energy of the droplet as a function of its momentum. The methods used are from math-ph/0208026 and cond-mat/0104199, and this short paper should serve as a pedagogic introduction to those papers.

description: Emotion recognition is a classic field of research with a typical setup extracting features and feeding them through a classifier for prediction. On the other hand, generative models jointly capture the distributional relationship between emotions and the feature profiles. Relatively recently, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have surfaced as a new class of generative models and have shown considerable success in modeling distributions in the fields of computer vision and natural language understanding. In this work, we experiment with variants of GAN architectures to generate feature vectors corresponding to an emotion in two ways: (i) A generator is trained with samples from a mixture prior. Each mixture component corresponds to an emotional class and can be sampled to generate features from the corresponding emotion. (ii) A one-hot vector corresponding to an emotion can be explicitly used to generate the features. We perform analysis on such models and also propose different metrics used to measure the performance of the GAN models in their ability to generate realistic synthetic samples. Apart from evaluation on a given dataset of interest, we perform a cross-corpus study where we study the utility of the synthetic samples as additional training data in low resource conditions.

description: In a supersymmetric theory, large mass hierarchies can lead to large uncertainties in fixed-order calculations of the Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs mass. A reliable prediction is then obtained by performing the calculation in an effective field theory (EFT) framework, involving a matching to the full supersymmetric theory at the high scale to include contributions from the heavy particles, and a subsequent renormalisation-group running down to the low scale. We report on the prediction of the SM-like Higgs mass within the CP-violating Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the SM (NMSSM) in a scenario where all non-SM particles feature TeV-scale masses. The matching conditions are calculated at full one-loop order using two approaches. These are the matching of the quartic Higgs couplings as well as of the SM-like Higgs pole masses of the low- and high-scale theory. A comparison between the two methods allows us to estimate the size of terms suppressed by the heavy mass scale that are neglected in a pure EFT calculation as given by the quartic-coupling matching. Furthermore, we study the different sources of uncertainty which enter our calculation as well as the effect of CP-violating phases on the Higgs mass prediction. The matching calculation is implemented in a new version of the public program package NMSSMCALC.

description: Animal genetic diversity is a unique and irreplaceable heritage. Globally, about 20 % of all breeds or livestock populations are considered to be ‘at risk’ and 9 % are already extinct. On farm, the concentration on elite breeding lines has endangered a number of alternative breeds. In Germany, over half of the entire dairy cattle population belongs to only three dominant breeds. Although several alternative breeds are well known for superior functional characteristics like e.g. a good fertility, an excellent udder health, and their ability to adapt to diverse environments, they are increasingly replaced by Holstein cows due to higher milk performances. To design effective incentive schemes that encourage farmers to maintain desired breeds, it is crucially important to know about their preferences for certain contract components. A discrete choice experiment (DCE) with 160 dairy cattle breeders revealed determinants of farmers’ willingness to accept conservation contracts to conserve rare German cattle breeds like Red dual-purpose cattle or Angler cattle. We included attributes like the monitoring of pairing, requirements for the keeping conditions, a collective bonus for an increase in population by five percent and the contract length in our experimental design. A Random Parameter Logit (RPL) model revealed that farmers favor shorter contracts (one or five years), a bonus for a population increase and the requirement of outdoor access. In contrast, farmers rather reject to choose a contract that requires participation in a breeding program and the prohibition of slatted floors. Two distinctive classes of farmers can be identified based on the results of a Latent Class Model (LCM). Organic farmers are generally less likely to join a program and are even more disapproving contracts where the pairing is monitored by the breeding association. However, it seems that program requirements should not be too restrictive on the farm management and rather focus on the compensation of associated income loss.

description: Many consumers express strong demands for higher farm animal welfare standards – especially in conventional livestock husbandry systems. This applies primarily to products from pork production, as consumers have recognized a quality decrease in recent years. Although pig farmers are key stakeholders for the implementation of animal welfare programs (AWPs) there is little evidence of their attitudes towards farm animal welfare (FAW) and AWPs. Thus, the main objective of this investigation was to investigate pig farmers’ attitudes towards FAW and AWPs and to determine target groups for participation in AWPs. Therefore, an explorative factor analysis and a hierarchical cluster analysis were applied. Three farmer groups were identified which significantly differ regarding their attitudes towards FAW and their willingness to participate in AWPs. This paper represents a starting point for the design of tailor-made strategies to increase the market penetration of AWPs.

description: The third moment $d_2$ of the twist-3 part of the nucleon spin structure function $g_2$ is generalized to arbitrary momentum transfer $Q^2$ and is evaluated in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT) up to order ${\mathcal{O}}(p^4)$ and in a unitary isobar model (MAID). We show how to link $d_2$ as well as higher moments of the nucleon spin structure functions $g_1$ and $g_2$ to nucleon spin polarizabilities. We compare our results with the most recent experimental data, and find a good description of these available data within the unitary isobar model. We proceed to extract the twist-4 matrix element $f_2$ which appears in the $1/Q^2$ suppressed term in the twist expansion of the spin structure function $g_1$ for proton and neutron.

description: Dominant multi-particle interactions can give rise to exotic physical phases with anyonic excitations and phase transitions without local order parameters. In spin systems with a global $SU(N)$ symmetry, cyclic ring-exchange couplings constitute the first higher-order interaction in this class. In this letter we propose a protocol how $SU(N)$ invariant multi-body interactions can be implemented in optical tweezer arrays. We utilize the flexibility to re-arrange the tweezer configuration on time scales short compared to the typical lifetimes, in combination with strong non-local Rydberg interactions. As a specific example we demonstrate how a chiral cyclic ring-exchange Hamiltonian can be implemented in a two-leg ladder geometry. We study its phase diagram using DMRG simulations and identify phases with dominant vector chirality, a ferromagnet, and an emergent spin-$1$ Haldane phase. We also discuss how the proposed protocol can be utilized to implement the strongly frustrated $J-Q$ model, a candidate for hosting a deconfined quantum critical point.

description: We present the first results of a deep Chandra survey of the inner 1 degree of the Fornax cluster of galaxies. Ten 50 ksec pointings were obtained in a mosaic centered on the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1399 at the nominal cluster center. Emission and temperature maps of Fornax are presented, and an initial study of 771 detected X-ray point sources is made. Regions as small as 100pc are resolved. The intra-cluster gas in Fornax exhibits a highly asymmetric morphology and temperature structure, dominated by a 180 kpc extended ``plume'' of low surface brightness, cool, ~1 keV) gas to the North-East of NGC 1399 with a sharper edge to the South West. The elliptical galaxy NGC 1404 also exhibits a cool halo of X-ray gas within the cluster, with a highly sharpened leading edge as it presumably falls into the cluster, and a cometary-like tail. We estimate that some ~200-400 point sources are physically associated with Fornax. Confirming earlier works, we find that the globular cluster population in NGC 1399 is highly X-ray active, extending to globulars which may in fact be intra-cluster systems. We have also found a remarkable correlation between the location of giant and dwarf cluster galaxies and the presence of X-ray counterparts, such that systems inhabiting regions of low gas density are more likely to show X-ray activity. Not only does this correlate with the asymmetry of the intra-cluster gas but also with the axis joining the center of Fornax to an infalling group 1 Mpc to the South-West. We suggest that Fornax may be experiencing an intergalactic ``headwind'' due to motion relative to the surrounding large-scale structure.

description: Farm animal husbandry and animal welfare still are of growing interest in our society. Studies show a mismatch of citizens’ expectations and the present situation in many countries. Therefore intensive livestock production systems seem to lose their societal acceptability. Especially modern pig and poultry production systems are criticized, but dairy farming is also affected. This can more and more be observed in Germany, one of the EU’s biggest livestock producing countries. Against this background, the Scientific Advisory Board on Agricultural Policy, Food and Consumer Health Protection at the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture established guidelines to ensure prospective animal husbandry practices, accepted by the majority of the German society. In this paper we present the actual perception of German citizens and the importance of different husbandry aspects based on seven of these guidelines. Thereby, pig, cattle and poultry production systems are considered and the animal species fattening pigs, dairy cattle as well as laying hens are compared. An online survey with at all 2.400 respondents was conducted in 2017. The survey is based on a qualitative pilot study. Therefore citizens were invited for focus groups about the topics pig, poultry and cattle production in Germany. For each topic six focus groups (poultry: eight) took place in three (poultry: four) German cities. Participants discussed about their perception of actual animal husbandry with respect to housing systems, animal health and well-being, regarding the crucial points of the Scientific Advisory Board’s guidelines. Using content analysis, main present husbandry factors in participants’ perception were identified: flooring type, space per animal, fresh air supply, manipulable material, outdoor access and daylight. Using a ranking procedure with these husbandry factors, main criticism points as well as sideshows could be identified for each of the three production systems, in particular fattening pig production, dairy cattle production and laying hens production. The results will contribute to establish livestock production systems in consensus with citizens’ preferences. Furthermore, results will be important for the constructions of upcoming stables for all investigated animal species.

description: A new tabulation of electronic factors is reported for electron conversion for elements of Z from 5 to 126 and electronic factors for electron-positron pair conversion for elements of even Z from 4 to 100. The electronic factors for electron conversion, $Ω_{CE}$(E0), were calculated using a modified version of the CATAR program developed by Pauli and Raff with a relativistic-Hartree-Fock-Slater approach (Pauli and Raff, 1975). The electronic factors for electron-positron pair conversion, $Ω_{IPF}$(E0), were calculated using the model developed by Wilkinson (1969). The data tables presented here cover all atomic shells up to R2 and transition energies from 1 keV to 6000 keV and from 1100 keV to 8000 keV for pair conversion. A comparison with previous electronic factor tabulations is presented. Ratios of experimental Ω(E0) values for 83 E0 transitions in 8$\leq$Z$\leq$98 are compared to this tabulation. Two examples of how to use the tabulation to extract E0 strengths are also included.

description: International trade in agriculture open markets abroad for producers and suppliers. However, the capacity to serve these markets are not evenly distributed. For many exporters it is a challenge to access foreign markets and connect to global value chains (GVC). Agricultural markets are often characterised by asset specificity and oligopsonic market structures. These are features that tend to imply hierarchic governance structures and asymmetric dependencies. Thus, for the exporters, how to engage with partners in order to access foreign markets becomes critical. In this paper we explore how three export initiatives from Norwegian agriculture coordinate and connect to global value chains. We discuss the mode of governance, as well as the role of middlemen. We further discuss the characteristics of the coordination and the strategic implications for the exporting partners. The three cases are export of Whey protein concentrate (WPC 80) from Tine SA, export of the genetic material (The breed Norwegian Red) from Geno SA, and cured meat of lamb legs (fenalår) from the company Fenalår from Norway SA.

description: In this brief paper, a new consensus protocol based on the sign of innovations is proposed. Based on this protocol each agent only requires single-bit of information about its relative state to its neighboring agents. This is significant in real-time applications, since it requires less computation and/or communication load on agents. Using Lyapunov stability theorem the convergence is proved for networks having a spanning tree. Further, the convergence is shown to be in finite-time, which is significant as compared to most asymptotic protocols in the literature. Time-variant network topologies are also considered in this paper, and final consensus value is derived for undirected networks. Applications of the proposed consensus protocol in (i) 2D/3D rendezvous task, (ii) distributed estimation, (iii) distributed optimization, and (iv) formation control are considered and significance of applying this protocol is discussed. Numerical simulations are provided to compare the protocol with the existing protocols in the literature.

description: New gauge forces can play an important role in the evolution of the early universe. In this work we investigate the cosmological implications of a pure Yang-Mills dark sector that is dominantly populated after primordial inflation. Such a dark sector takes the form of a bath of dark gluons at high temperatures, but confines at lower temperatures to produce a spectrum of dark glueballs. These glueballs then undergo a freezeout process such that the remnant population is nearly completely dominated by the lightest state. To reproduce the observed cosmology, this lightest glueball species must decay to the Standard Model to repopulate and reheat it. At leading order, this can occur through a connector operator of dimension-6. In contrast, other glueballs can be parametrically long-lived or stable, and remain as contributors to dark matter or modify the observed cosmology through their later decays. In this work we study the evolution of such dark sectors in detail. We demonstrate that stable remnant glueballs can produce the measured dark matter abundance. We also derive broad constraints on non-Abelian dark sectors from overproduction of remnant glueballs when they are stable or from their destructive impact when they are able to decay.

description: Bio-economy describes an economy based on renewable instead of fossil resources. To ensure the success of this transformation it is necessary to involve society into the process. Q methodology was used to empirically assess people’s perspectives on bio-economy in Germany. Using a Q-type factor analysis three perspectives were identified. “Sufficiency and close affinity to nature” focuses on natural/ecological relations, while “Technological Progress” favours technologies to become less dependent on fossil resources. The third perspective “Not at any price” is rather concerned about economic trade-offs. An online survey is planned to investigate the representation of these perspectives in the wider population.

description: We present the discovery of extended X-ray emission from the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 5189 around the [WO1]-type WD 1330-657 with XMM-Newton. The X-ray-emitting gas fills the cavities detected in the Hubble Space Telescope [O III] narrow-band image and presents a limb-brightened morphology towards the outer edges of the east and west lobes. The bulk of the X-ray emission is detected in the soft (0.3 - 0.7 keV) band with the XMM-Newton EPIC spectra dominated by the C VI Ly$α$ line at 0.37 keV (=33.7 Å). Spectral analysis resulted in carbon and neon abundances 38 and 6 times their solar values, with a plasma temperature of $kT=0.14\pm0.01$ keV ($T=1.6\times10^{6}$ K) and X-ray luminosity of $L_\mathrm{X}=(2.8\pm0.8)\times10^{32}$ erg s$^{-1}$. NGC 5189 is an evolved and extended PN ($\lesssim$0.70 pc in radius), thus, we suggest that the origin of its X-ray emission is consistent with the born-again scenario in which the central star becomes carbon-rich through an eruptive very late thermal pulse, subsequently developing a fast, carbon-rich wind powering the X-ray emission as suggested for A30 and A78.

description: Since the 1990s, several studies have pointed out that Japanese retailers exert buyer power over upstream firms in milk transactions (the buyer power hypothesis), despite the high level of competition between supermarkets and between milk suppliers. The conventional new empirical industrial organization approach, which assumes price-taking behavior on either side of players, is not appropriate for this market. Instead, we use the bilateral Nash bargaining model. Using purchase data for the period June 2012--December 2014, we estimate a structural bargaining model for each market in order to identify the relative bargaining strength of the respective agents. The results show that retailers tend to have stronger bargaining power than processors, even in the case of low market concentration. Therefore, these results support the buyer power hypothesis for wholesale milk transactions. In addition, we show the local small and medium-sized supermarkets have moderate bargaining power in the case of NB milk, whereas top-share supermarkets, discounters, and drugstores attempt almost take-it-or-leave-it offers. Finally, we identify the regional differences in the bargaining power of each brand and retailer, highlighting the differences for COOP milk in each region and in the market strategies of large supermarkets.

description: This study aimed to develop an optimum crop planning for maximization of farm net income in central dry zone of Karnataka by assessing scarce resources like land, labour, groundwater and capital availability. It evaluates the potential of the land resources for recommending optimum, sustainable and appropriate land utilization in agriculture development. The study used quantitative analytical approach using microsoft excel premium solver in optimal crop plan allocation analysis. A total of 90 structured questionnaires were used to gather data necessary for analysis. The Linear programming model with an objective function that seeks to maximize net farm income subject to land, labour, capital, groundwater and minimum area for production constraints was run. Linear programming technique indicated that, at market prices, as per the optimum crop plan, the area allocated for rainfed crops was about 1,03,100 ha and for borewell irrigated area it was 41,361 ha. According to Economic pricing criteria, 40,900 ha is to be allocated under borewell irrigated and 10,3673 ha for rainfed situation. Total optimum area allocated to different crops would be 14,4461 ha and 14,4574 ha which maximizes net returns at Rs. 185.1 crores and Rs. 73 crores at market prices and economic prices, respectively.

Metal-Poor Globular Clusters and Galaxy Formation

description: We demonstrate a significant (> 5-sigma) correlation between the mean color of metal-poor globular cluster (GC) systems and parent galaxy luminosity. A Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo method is introduced to find the mean color, and is easily generalizable to quantify multimodality in other astronomical datasets. We derive a GC color--galaxy luminosity relation of the form Z ~ L^ (0.15 +/- 0.03). When combined with evidence against a single primordial GC metallicity--galaxy luminosity relation for protogalactic fragments, the existence of such a correlation is evidence against both accretion and major merger scenarios as an explanation of the entire metal-poor GC systems of luminous galaxies. However, our relation arises naturally in an in situ picture of GC formation, and is consistent with the truncation of metal-poor GC formation by reionization. A further implication is that the ages of metal-poor GCs in dwarf galaxies constrain the main epoch of galaxy formation in hierarchical models. If the ages of old metal-poor GCs in Local Group dwarfs (> 11 Gyr) are typical of those in dwarfs elsewhere, then the bulk of galaxy assembly (at least in clusters and groups) must have occurred at z > 2.5, contrary to the predictions of some structure formation models.

Small numerators canceling small denominators of the high-temperature scaling variables: a systematic explanation in arbitrary dimensions

description: We describe a method to express the susceptibility and higher derivatives of the free energy in terms of the scaling variables (Wegner's nonlinear scaling fields) associated with the high-temperature (HT) fixed point of Dyson hierarchical model in arbitrary dimensions. We give a closed form solution of the linearized problem. We check that up to order 7 in the HT expansion, all the poles ("small denominators") that would naively appear in some positive dimension are canceled by zeroes ("small numerators"). The requirement of continuity in the dimension can be used to lift ambiguities which appear in calculations at fixed dimension. We show that the existence of a HT phase in the infinite volume limit for a continuous set of values of the dimension, requires that this mechanism works to all orders. On the other hand, most poles at negative values of the dimensional parameter (where the free energy density is not well-defined, but RG flows can be studied) persist and reflect the fact that for special negative values of the dimension, finite-size corrections become leading terms. We show that the inverse problem is also free of small denominator problems and that the initial values of the scaling variables can be expressed in terms of the infinite volume limit of the susceptibility and higher derivatives of the free energy. We discuss the existence of an infinite number of conserved quantities (RG invariants) and their relevance for the calculation of universal ratios of critical amplitudes.

description: The paper evaluates the impact of homestead food garden programme and land redistribution policies on the income of vegetable farmers in South Africa, using data collected from 500 vegetable-producing households. Endogenous switching regression and propensity score matching approaches were employed in our analysis. Our findings demonstrate that the participation in a homestead food garden programme can significantly enhance the welfare of participants by increasing their gross margins by 5.21%. We further show that the land redistribution policy by the South African government appears to have a significant impact on vegetable production and gross margins of vegetable farmers. We found that vegetable farmers who own more than 1 hectare of farmland through the land redistribution policy perform better in terms of gross margins, relative to those who own less than 1 hectare by 9.28% gross margin. The policy implication of our findings is that the distribution of farmland under the agriculture and land reform policy should be accompanied with food policy interventions, such as the homestead food garden programme, and also that the willingness of people to participate in farming should be paramount to the land redistribution policy.
