description: Agricultural producers in the Texas High Plains are facing the worst comparative economic conditions since 1913. Under these circumstances it is desirable to evaluate which programs are beneficial to agricultural producers and which ones are not. The concept of Integrated Pest Management was introduced to the Texas High Plains in 1976 and since then many IPM practices have been adopted for the four major crops; corn, cotton, sorghum, and wheat. The reduction in production cost is used as a measure of economic benefit and contingent valuation is used to estimate the value of the environmental benefits. The IPM practices, which have been adopted, reduce the production cost by more than $173 million per year. In addition the practices reduce environmental cost, as estimated by contingent valuation, by more than $99 million per year. The total value of the economic and environmental benefits accruing to the Texas High Plains exceeds $272 million per year.

description: We study photoinduced optical responses of one-dimensional strongly correlated electron systems. The optical conductivity spectra are calculated for the ground state and a photoexcited state in the one-dimensional Hubbard model at half filling by using the exact diagonalization method. It is found that, in the Mott insulator phase, the photoexcited state has large spectral weights including the Drude weight below the optical gap. As a consequence, the spectral weight above the optical gap is largely reduced. These results imply that a metallic state is induced by photoexcitation. Comparison between the photoexcited and hole-doped states shows that the photoexcitation is similar to chemical doping.

description: Since Key Comparison CCT-K2, only few comparisons on realizations of cryogenic fixed points have been carried out, be they bilateral (three, of which one still pending) or multilateral (two trilateral). Since a forthcoming general follow-up is unlikely, any bilateral comparison, not only key comparisons, is most welcome to provide evidence of the continuing thermometric capabilities of the laboratories involved in the realization of the ITS-90. Not too long after the creation in 2018 of the Joint Research Laboratory for Fluid Metrology Evangelista Torricelli between LNE-CNAM and INRIM, the two laboratories agreed to perform a bilateral comparison at all the cryogenic fixed points of the scale between 13 K and 273 K, including the two hydrogen vapour-pressure temperatures required for the full platinum resistance thermometer range 3.3.1 of the ITS-90. The results are reported here and show a substantial agreement, within the combined uncertainties.

description: Shot noise of quantum ring (QR) excitons in a p-i-n junction surrounded by a microcavity is investigated theoretically. Some radiative decay properties of a QR exciton in a microcavity can be obtained from the observation of the current noise, which also gives the extra information about one of the tunnel barriers. Different noise feature between the quantum dot (QD) and QR is pointed out, and may be observed in a suitably designed experiment.

description: We generalize the Susceptible-Infected-Removed model for epidemics to take into account generic effects of heterogeneity in the degree of susceptibility to infection in the population. We introduce a single new parameter corresponding to a power-law exponent of the susceptibility distribution that characterizes the population heterogeneity. We show that our generalized model is as simple as the original model which is contained as a limiting case. Because of this simplicity, numerical solutions can be generated easily and key properties of the epidemic wave can still be obtained exactly. In particular, we present exact expressions for the herd immunity level, the final size of the epidemic, as well as for the shape of the wave and for observables that can be quantified during an epidemic. We find that in strongly heterogeneous populations the epidemic reaches only a small fraction of the population. This implies that the herd immunity level can be much lower than in commonly used models with homogeneous populations. Using our model to analyze data for the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Germany shows that the reported time course is consistent with several scenarios characterized by different levels of immunity. These scenarios differ in population heterogeneity and in the time course of the infection rate, for example due to mitigation efforts or seasonality. Our analysis reveals that quantifying the effects of mitigation requires knowledge on the degree of heterogeneity in the population. Our work shows that key effects of population heterogeneity can be captured without increasing the complexity of the model. We show that information about population heterogeneity will be key to understand how far an epidemic has progressed and what can be expected for its future course.

description: Tomato trade between the U.S. and Mexico has grown significantly during the past decade. This increased trade, together with major structural changes in US produce marketing channels, has increased the complexity of conducting analysis of market integration and equilibrium. This study implements an Extended Parity Bounds Model (EPBM), following the work of Barrett and Li, to examine fresh tomato trade relationships between major shipping points and terminal markets for Mexican imported and Florida and California tomatoes. Findings suggest that, although markets seem relatively integrated and efficient, there exist some potential for claims of inefficient or overly competitive behavior. As is expected, the more complex the marketing channels between producer and wholesaler (distance or international boundaries), the more likely that markets operate suboptimally.

description: A formula (the "K-State formula") for deriving the price of segregated early weaned (SEW) pigs using corn, soybean meal, and market hog prices was estimated based on equating return on investment for the different phases of swine production- farrow, nursery, and finish. USDA reported SEW pig prices were compared with prices derived from the K-State formula and several other common formulas. Based on root mean squared error and mean absolute error accuracy measures, the K-State formula did a better job of predicting spot-market prices than the other formulas. In terms of the K-State formula accurately predicting spot market prices, producers appear to form price expectations based on futures plus expected basis more so than simply futures prices or current cash prices. However, the manner in which the formula is used (i.e., method of choosing price expectations) will depend on the risk attitudes of the buyer and seller as well as the nature of their business relationship. Developing pricing formulas based on the framework outlined here (equal returns on investment) has merit for establishing prices in the absence of publicly reported information, however, it is important that users of the formula understand the conceptual framework of how and why it was developed.

description: We investigate theoretically the formation of a vortex lattice in a superfluid two-spin component Fermi gas in a rotating harmonic trap, in a BCS-type regime of condensed non-bosonic pairs. Our analytical solution of the superfluid hydrodynamic equations, both for the 2D BCS equation of state and for the 3D unitary quantum gas, predicts that the vortex free gas is subject to a dynamic instability for fast enough rotation. With a numerical solution of the full time dependent BCS equations in a 2D model, we confirm the existence of this dynamic instability and we show that it leads to the formation of a regular pattern of quantum vortices in the gas.

description: We compare two crystallographic phases of the low-dimensional WP$_2$ to better understand features of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions in topological systems. The topological $β$-phase, a Weyl semimetal with a giant magneto-resistance, shows a larger intensity of electronic Raman scattering compared to the topologically trivial $α$-phase. This intensity sharply drops for $T < T^* = 20$ K which evidences a crossover in the topological phase from marginal quasiparticles to a coherent low temperature regime. In contrast, the non-topological $α$-phase shows more pronounced signatures of electron-phonon interaction. Here there exist generally enlarged phonon linewidths and deviations from conventional anharmonicity in an intermediate temperature regime. These effects provide evidence for an interesting interplay of electronic correlations and electron-phonon coupling. Both interband and intraband electronic fluctuations are involved in these effects. Their dependence on symmetry as well as momentum conservation are critical ingredients to understand this interplay.

description: A three-dimensional light-like foliation of a spacetime geometry is one particular way of studying its light cone structure and has important applications in numerical relativity. In this paper, we execute such a foliation for the Kerr-Newman-AdS black hole geometry and compare it with the lightlike foliations of the Kerr-AdS and Kerr-Newman black holes. We derive the equations that govern this slicing and study their properties. In particular, we find that these null hypersurfaces develop caustics inside the inner horizon of the Kerr-Newman-AdS black hole, in strong contrast to the Kerr-AdS case. We then take the ultra-spinning limit of the Kerr-Newman-AdS spacetime, leading to what is known as a Super-Entropic black hole, and show that the null hypersurfaces develop caustics at a finite distance outside the event horizon of this black hole. As an application, we construct Kruskal coordinates for both the Kerr-Newman-AdS black hole and its ultra-spinning counterpart.

description: We study the high-temperature phase diagram of the chiral magnetic insulator Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ by measuring the spin-Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in a thin Pt electrode. We find distinct changes in the phase and amplitude of the SMR signal at critical lines separating different magnetic phases of bulk Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$. The skyrmion lattice state appears as a strong dip in the SMR phase. A strong enhancement of the SMR amplitude is observed in the conical spiral state, which we explain by an additional symmetry-allowed contribution to the SMR present in non-collinear magnets. We demonstrate that the SMR can be used as an all-electrical probe of chiral surface twists and skyrmions in magnetic insulators.

description: In this work we give a consistent picture of the thermodynamic properties of bosons in the Mott insulating phase when loaded adiabatically into one-dimensional optical lattices. We find a crucial dependence of the temperature in the optical lattice on the doping level of the Mott insulator. In the undoped case, the temperature is of the order of the large onsite Hubbard interaction. In contrast, at a finite doping level the temperature jumps almost immediately to the order of the small hopping parameter. These two situations are investigated on the one hand by considering limiting cases like the atomic limit and the case of free fermions. On the other hand, they are examined using a quasi-particle conserving continuous unitary transformation extended by an approximate thermodynamics for hardcore particles.

description: We propose a novel method to perform plenoptic imaging at the diffraction limit by measuring second-order correlations of light between two reference planes, arbitrarily chosen, within the tridimensional scene of interest. We show that for both chaotic light and entangled-photon illumination, the protocol enables to change the focused planes, in post-processing, and to achieve an unprecedented combination of image resolution and depth of field. In particular, the depth of field results larger by a factor 3 with respect to previous correlation plenoptic imaging protocols, and by an order of magnitude with respect to standard imaging, while the resolution is kept at the diffraction limit. The results lead the way towards the development of compact designs for correlation plenoptic imaging devices based on chaotic light, as well as high-SNR plenoptic imaging devices based on entangled photon illumination, thus contributing to make correlation plenoptic imaging effectively competitive with commercial plenoptic devices.

description: Recently there has been interest in the construction of small parity check sets for iterative decoding of the Hamming code with the property that each uncorrectable (or stopping) set of size three is the support of a codeword and hence uncorrectable anyway. Here we reformulate and generalise the problem, and improve on this construction. First we show that a parity check collection that corrects all correctable erasure patterns of size m for the r-th order Hamming code (i.e, the Hamming code with codimension r) provides for all codes of codimension $r$ a corresponding ``generic'' parity check collection with this property. This leads naturally to a necessary and sufficient condition on such generic parity check collections. We use this condition to construct a generic parity check collection for codes of codimension r correcting all correctable erasure patterns of size at most m, for all r and m <= r, thus generalising the known construction for m=3. Then we discussoptimality of our construction and show that it can be improved for m>=3 and r large enough. Finally we discuss some directions for further research.

description: This paper proposes a model of execution platform for the OMG request of a generic PlatformIndependent-Model (PIM) allowing realization of the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) standard. We propose AMDA (Automata based MDA), a method based on the use of parallel automata, which can be a common tool for building a PIM from UML diagrams (including OCL) and transforming the PIM to PSM automata and further to compilable code. Each platform would then have a mechanism to execute the translated code. Our architecture for a general PSM translator of these automata allows portable execution on various specific implementation platforms. This general translator must be written, once, for the languages and with the libraries of the required specific PSM. This allows also interoperability between different PSMs. An ATM case study example is presented to illustrate the approach.

description: Farm-level, cross-section and panel data were used with econometric methods to examine relationships between variability in the rate of return to capital managed and explanatory variables including government payments per crop acre, gross crop income, gross livestock income, costs, efficiency measures, and other socioeconomic characteristics. Quantifying the impacts of socioeconomic factors on variability of the rate of return was difficult. Increasing the standard deviation of gross revenue and government payments increased the variability in rate of return to capital managed. An increase in the variability of labor, crop & equipment, livestock, and interest costs had the opposite effect. In addition, increase in labor and livestock costs to gross revenue increases variability in the rate of return. The smaller the amount of land rented and the larger the number of acres, the higher the variability in rate of return. The panel data results indicated that annual changes in rate of return had a positive relationship with increases in gross revenues, government payments, and decreased changes in costs. Decreases in the efficiency of interest cost resulted in a larger change in the annual rate of return, whereas crop & equipment and livestock costs caused the opposite effect. Age and diversification had positive effects. The above findings reaffirmed that reducing the variation in government payments and gross revenue, and increasing the variation in costs, will lower the variability in the rate of return to capital managed. Cost efficiency measures were also important, but with the previous model, the effects on the rate of return were uncertain.

Year: 2009

description: The basic intention of this study is to show that the research findings in the field of restorative environments can be used in the design of high-density housing to develop healthy living environments. This study explores the possibility that providing public, semi-public and private landscaped open spaces in and around the dwelling units, can improve the living conditions in a low-rise, high-density housing design. It is primarily concerned with the relationship which people in the high-density settings have with their outdoor environment and explores the possibilities of design and management of the nearby natural area in ways that are beneficial for people and appreciated by them. The study uses the literature on restorative benefits of nature and housing to develop criteria for the design and management of housings at high densities and illustrates the significance and implementation of the design criteria through comparative analysis of the existing and the proposed housing design.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: This paper introduces a simple method of price risk decomposition that determines the extent to which producer price risk is attributable to volatile inter-market margins, intra-day variation, intra-week (day of week) variation, or seasonality. We apply the method to livestock markets in northern Kenya, a setting of dramatic price volatility where price stabilization is a live policy issue. Large, variable inter-market basis is the single most important factor in explaining producer price risk in animals typically traded between markets. Local market conditions explain most price risk in other markets, in which traded animals rarely exit the region. Seasonality accounts for relatively little price risk faced by pastoralists in the dry lands of northern Kenya.

Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: Conventional supermarkets concentrate on capturing the largest pool of consumers to generate profits from the industry's low margins. Selling to the largest pool of customers means that marketing, promotion, stocking and service decisions are based on the tastes and preferences of an average consumer. Innovators in the grocery industry, recognizing a shift in consumer tastes and preferences, are changing the industry to attract smaller segments of consumers. The theory presented here demonstrates a method to understand the value of product diversification and a model of the gains from providing products that may not have broad appeal to the average customer base. The increase in retail returns through this approach of developing in-store niches lies not in increased single-item purchases of any one consumer, but through the increased number of items purchased (a larger bundle) by an individual on a single shopping trip.

Beef cattle, as a leading livestock of the U.S, has experienced relatively steady structural transformation, on the other hand, hog industry has changed rapidly of its size and the location. The beef industry more or less sticks with traditional factors rather than regulation. On the other hand, the hog industry, which has more chance to adopt the stringency of state regulation during the special movement, is more sensitive by the stringency of regulation, especially in the large operation.

description: While data science has emerged as a contentious new scientific field, enormous debates and discussions have been made on it why we need data science and what makes it as a science. In reviewing hundreds of pieces of literature which include data science in their titles, we find that the majority of the discussions essentially concern statistics, data mining, machine learning, big data, or broadly data analytics, and only a limited number of new data-driven challenges and directions have been explored. In this paper, we explore the intrinsic challenges and directions inspired by comprehensively exploring the complexities and intelligence embedded in data science problems. We focus on the research and innovation challenges inspired by the nature of data science problems as complex systems, and the methodologies for handling such systems.

description: The farm level economic impacts of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill) on representative crop and livestock operations are projected in this report. The analysis was conducted over the 2002-2009 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate farming and ranching operations in the nation’s major production regions came from two sources: - Producer panel cooperation to develop economic information to describe and simulate representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms. - Projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) August 2005 Baseline. The primary objective of the analysis is to determine the farms’ economic viability by region and commodity through the life of the 2002 Farm Bill. The FLIPSIM policy simulation model incorporates the historical risk faced by farmers and ranchers for prices and production. This report presents the results of the August 2005 Baseline in a risk context using selected simulated probabilities and ranges for annual net cash farm income values. The probability of a farm experiencing a negative ending cash balance and the probability of a farm losing real net worth are included as indicators of the cash flow and equity risks facing farms through the year 2009. This report is organized into ten sections. The first section summarizes the process used to develop the representative farms and the key assumptions utilized for the farm level analysis. The second section summarizes the FAPRI August 2005 Baseline and the policy and price assumptions used for the representative farm analyses. The third through sixth sections present the results of the simulation analyses for feed grain, wheat, cotton, and rice farms. The seventh and eighth sections summarize simulation results for dairy and cattle. Two appendices constitute the final section of the report. Appendix A provides tables to summarize the physical and financial characteristics for each of the representative farms. Appendix B provides the names of producers, land grant faculty, and industry leaders who cooperated in the panel interview process to develop the representative farms.

description: We study a modified prisoner's dilemma game taking place on two-dimensional disordered square lattices. The players are pure strategists and can either cooperate or defect with their immediate neighbors. In the generations each player update its strategy by following one of the neighboring strategies with a probability dependent on the payoff difference. The neighbor selection obeys a dynamic preferential rule, i.e., the more frequently a neighbor's strategy was adopted by the focal player in the previous rounds, the larger probability it will be chosen to refer to in the subsequent rounds. It is found that cooperation is substantially promoted due to this simple selection mechanism. Corresponding analysis is provided by the investigations of the distribution of players' impact weights, persistence, and as well as correlation function.

Locating Otto Neurath in twentieth-century philosophy of science
Creators: name: Steed, Sheldon John Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis attempts to locate the work of Otto Neurath (1872-1945) in the history of twentieth-century philosophy of science. Neurath is perhaps best recognized from his role in the Vienna Circle of the 1930s where he contributed to the development of logical empiricist philosophy of science. The roots-of his ideas, as expressed within the Vienna Circle, provide insight into Neurath's conception of the development of science. Thus, the present essay attempts to identify his developing ideas in the 1910s, and situate that development historically. Chapter One considers his biography as a means of eliciting some of his defining philosophical assumptions. For Neurath, inquiries into the foundations of science carry broader social and political implications and we see him exhibiting this view throughout his life. Chapter Two examines three papers in the 1910s to show what his view of the development of science actually was. Neurath rejected notions of absolute foundations on which to base scientific theory and stood opposed to metaphysics as a meaningful framework by which to ground scientific claims. Chapter Three attempts to identify Neurath's driving assumptions with those articulated in postpositivist thinkers like W.V.O. Quine and Thomas Kuhn. Neurath's connections to logical empiricism and post-positivism make him an important figure whose contributions to the history of twentieth-century philosophy of science can enrich our understanding of the development of science and its role in society.

description: Electronic standing waves with two different wavelengths were directly mapped near one end of a single-wall carbon nanotube as a function of the tip position and the sample bias voltage with highresolution position-resolved scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The observed two standing waves caused by separate spin and charge bosonic excitations are found to constitute direct evidence for a Luttinger liquid. The increased group velocity of the charge excitation, the power-law decay of their amplitudes away from the scattering boundary, and the suppression of the density of states near the Fermi level were also directly observed or calculated from the two different standing waves.

description: Additional file 10: X chromosome expression differences between default and sex chromosome complement informed alignment. X chromosome gene expression differences between default and sex chromosome complement informed alignment. Increase in expression when aligned to a sex chromosome complement informed reference genome is a log2 fold change (FC) > 0. A decrease in expression when aligned to a sex chromosome complement informed reference genome is log2 FC < 0. Female XX samples are indicated by red and pink circles for PAR1, XTR, PAR2 genes, and for all other X chromosome genes respectively. Blue and light blue squares represent male XY samples. Blue squares indicate which gene points are in PAR1, XTR, and PAR2, and light blue squares are for genes outside of those regions. Differences in X chromosome expression between reference genomes default and sex chromosome complement for male XY and female XX samples aligned using HISAT for the whole X chromosome and the first 5 Mb are shown for the whole blood (A and B, respectively), brain cortex (E and F, respectively), breast (I and J, respectively), liver (M and N, respectively), and thyroid (Q and R, respectively). Differences in X chromosome expression between reference genomes for male XY and female XX samples aligned using STAR for the whole X chromosome and the first 5 Mb are shown for the whole blood (C and D, respectively), brain cortex (G and H, respectively), breast (K and L, respectively), liver (O and P, respectively), and thyroid (S and T, respectively).
Physical conditions in diffuse interstellar medium of local and high redshift galaxies: measurements based on excitation of H$_2$ rotational and CI fine-structure levels

description: We present results of analysis of physical conditions (number density, intensity of UV field, kinetic temperature) in the cold H$_2$-bearing interstellar medium of local and high redshift galaxies. Our measurements based on the fit to the observed population of H$_2$ rotational levels and CI fine-structure levels with the help of grids of numerical models calculated with the PDR Meudon code. A joint analysis of low H$_2$ rotational levels and CI fine-structure levels allows to break the degeneracy in the $I_{UV}-n_{\rm{H}}$ plane and provides significantly tighter constraints on the number density and intensity of UV field. Using archive data from the VLT/UVES, KECK/HIRES, HST/STIS and FUSE telescopes we selected 12 high redshift damped Ly$α$ systems (DLAs) in quasar spectra and 14 H$_2$ absorption systems along the lines of sight towards stars in the Milky-Way and the Magellanic Clouds galaxies. These systems have strong H$_2$ components with the column density $\log N({\rm{H_2}})/{\rm{cm}}^{-2}>18$ and associated CI absorptions. We find that H$_2$-bearing medium in high redshift DLAs and in local galaxies has similar values of the kinetic temperatures $T_{\rm{kin}}\sim100$K and number density $10-500$ cm$^{-3}$. However, the intensity of incident UV radiation in DLAs is varied in the wide range ($0.1-100$ units of Mathis field), while it is $\sim0.1-3$ units of Mathis field for H$_2$ systems in Milky-Way and LMC and SMC galaxies. The large dispersion of measured UV flux in DLAs is probably a consequence that DLA sample probes the galaxies selected from the overall galaxy population at high-z and therefore corresponds to the wide range of the physical conditions.

description: This publication began as a need for a short summary of farm programs and farm bills for two agricultural economics courses focusing on agricultural policy -- ag. economics 429, and ag. economics 614. Over time, it became clear that many students taking these courses had less and less background in agriculture and less (even cursory) knowledge of policies than those of the recent past. After this list was developed, a number of other professional agricultural economists found copies and began to use it, hence its publication in a more structured form. The list of Farm Program Provisions is not all-inclusive. It certainly does not contain all the laws and provisions that have affected agriculture over the years. However, it is an easy reference to farm bills and provisions since 1933. We intend to update this list as time goes on to continue its usefulness to professionals and students alike.
Improved theoretical prediction for the 2s hyperfine interval in helium ion

description: We consider the uncertainty of theoretical calculations for a specific difference of the hyperfine intervals in the 1s and 2s states in a light hydrogen-like atom. For a number of crucial radiative corrections the result for hydrogen atom and helium ion appears as an extrapolation of the numerical data from medium to low Z. An approach to a plausible estimation of the uncertainty is suggested using the example of the difference $D_{21}= 8E_{hfs}(2s)-E_{hfs}(1s)$.

description: The recent improvements in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in the past few years are now allowing to observe molecular complexes at atomic resolution. As a consequence, numerous structures derived from cryo-EM are now available in the Protein Data Bank. However, if for some complexes atomic resolution is reached, this is not true for all. This is also the case in cryo-electron tomography where the achievable resolution is still limited. Furthermore the resolution in a cryo-EM map is not a constant, with often outer regions being of lower resolution, possibly linked to conformational variability. Although those low to medium resolution EM maps (or regions thereof) cannot directly provide atomic structure of large molecular complexes, they provide valuable information to model the individual components and their assembly into them. Most approaches for this kind of modelling are performing rigid fitting of the individual components into the EM density map. While this would appear an obvious option, they ignore key aspects of molecular recognition, the energetics and flexibility of the interfaces. Moreover, these often restricts the modelling to a unique source of data, the EM density map. In this chapter, we describe a protocol where an EM map is used as restraint in HADDOCK to guide the modelling process.
