description: This paper deals with forest trade modelling from a theoretical, analytic and empirical perspective. An integrated dynamic log-lumber trade model is developed and then used to examine two trade issues, namely, a reduction of Russian taxes on log exports and removal of the taxes on Canadian lumber destined for the United States. To demonstrate the dynamic aspect of the model, both sets of taxes are lowered over a period of time. The trade model consists of five Canadian regions, three U.S. regions, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Rest of Latin America, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Rest of Europe, Japan, China, Rest of Asia, and Rest of the World – a total of 20 regions. It concerns only coniferous logs and softwood lumber, ignoring hardwoods. The model is also calibrated on 2010 observed bi-lateral flows of logs and lumber using positive mathematical programming. The forest trade model is written using an Excel-GAMS interface, with input data retrieved by GAMS from Excel and GAMS output written to Excel, where final calculations are made.

description: As the influence and use of artificial intelligence (AI) have grown and its transformative potential has become more apparent, many questions have been raised regarding the economic, political, social, and ethical implications of its use. Public opinion plays an important role in these discussions, influencing product adoption, commercial development, research funding, and regulation. In this paper we present results of an in-depth survey of public opinion of artificial intelligence conducted with 10,005 respondents spanning eight countries and six continents. We report widespread perception that AI will have significant impact on society, accompanied by strong support for the responsible development and use of AI, and also characterize the public's sentiment towards AI with four key themes (exciting, useful, worrying, and futuristic) whose prevalence distinguishes response to AI in different countries.

description: We present spin relaxation times of 2D holes obtained by means of spin sensitive bleaching of the absorption of infrared radiation in p-type GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs). It is shown that the saturation of inter-subband absorption of circularly polarized radiation is mainly controlled by the spin relaxation time of the holes. The saturation behavior has been determined for different QW widths and in a wide temperature range with the result that the saturation intensity substantially decreases with narrowing of the QWs. Spin relaxation times are derived from the measured saturation intensities by making use of calculated (linear) absorption coefficients for direct inter-subband transitions. It is shown that spin relaxation is due to the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism governed by hole-hole scattering. The problem of selection rules is addressed.

description: The issue of supermarket chain power in wholesale markets has been around at least since the 1930’s when A&P surfaced as a nationwide chain with centralized buying (Adelman, 1959). Curiously those that complained the loudest were not firms that sold to supermarkets. Small retailers, who were unable to wrest concessions from brand manufacturers or wholesalers of fresh fruits and vegetables, alleged that large chain buyer power was driving them out of business. Consequently the Robinson Patman Act (1936) was passed to monitor the exercise of buyer power and its impact on smaller retailers as well as sellers. Enforcement has always been a thorny exercise because cost justified large buyer discounts are not illegal.

description: Malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies such as anemia have well-documented consequences on children’s health and schooling, cognitive functioning, and long term economic returns. This paper addresses the potential role of mother’s knowledge on reducing malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies drawing on the social networks literature to better understand the role of knowledge provider characteristics and social network structure have on knowledge diffusion. A cluster randomized control trial was implemented to test an agricultural production and nutrition education program, targeted to mothers of children aged 3-12 months at baseline living across four districts in Gourma province, Burkina Faso. Villages were randomly assigned to either the control group or to one of two treatment groups based on knowledge provider characteristics. Both treatment groups participated in a two-year program that included homestead food production, aimed to increase production of high quality foods, and a nutrition information component, aimed to improve knowledge and adoption of optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. The two treatment groups differed in the actors who delivered the nutrition information messages, either older women leaders (OWL villages) or village health committee members (HC villages). This paper investigates the role that the nutrition information delivery strategy and social networks play in diffusing nutrition information among young mothers. The diffusion strategy may affect the young mother’s confidence in and retention of new nutritional information, while social network structure may reinforce nutritional messages through peer effects. We find IYCF knowledge diffusion is higher in HC villages relative to OWL villages, while social network measures, degree and betweeness, have statistically significant, but smaller effects on certain categories of IYCF knowledge. The increased knowledge effects explain one of the causal pathways through which the intervention has an impact on childhood anemia (26% of a standard deviation) in the HC treatment, but not the OWL treatment.

This can be understood if conduction occurs in two different channels activated at different temperatures. We show that the characteristic temperature dependence can be explained using a polaron model for the transport. The results show an intuitive interpretation in terms of coherent and incoherent quasi-particles within the layers. Further, we extract results for the magnetoresistance, thermopower, spectral function and optical conductivity for the model and discuss application to experiments.

description: Why are some economies likely to grow more slowly when facing natural resource windfalls? What are the causes and consequences of the so-called natural resource curse? These are commonly asked questions in the economics literature, where different studies have address them using different empirical methods, samples and case studies. In a detailed survey, van der Ploeg (2011) reviews 10 different hypotheses commonly used to explain the resource curse at national level. In this article we complement van der Ploeg’s survey by categorizing the 10 resource curse hypotheses into market and political factors in order to better understand the potential consequences of resource windfalls in regions or countries. We then focus on conceptualizing the resource curse at regional level, which in contrast to cross-country evaluations, has received much less attention from academics. Abstracting from environmental and land tenure issues, we develop our conceptual framework by analysing the causality trees that emerge from the two main direct economic shocks produced by resource booms in local areas: labor demand shock and income generation. These causality trees schematize the potential socioeconomic impacts that originate from these effects in a sequence of three hierarchical levels of consequences: First, migration and crowding-out of local firms’ labor, characterized mainly by the inflow of temporary and new resident workers (who also bring new income to local towns) and the movement of labor from local manufacturing and agriculture to the mining sector. Second, the migration patterns and new levels of income will increase the demand for local goods such as housing, services and others, increasing their price in the community. Third, higher demand (and prices) for local goods will produce new jobs in sectors such as construction and services, in contrast to the decline in employment likely to happen in crowded-out local manufacturing. Additional discussion is provided for the indirect socioeconomic outcomes likely to emerge from different points across these three levels of consequences. We also expand on the different factors likely to affect the RC occurrence and magnitude of effects across space. We finish by discussing some policy implications

Based on our results waveforms can be quickly computed with high accuracy.

description: We study assignments of the hypercharge and baryon minus lepton number for particles in the $E_6$ grand unification model. It is shown that there are three assignments of hypercharge and three assignments of baryon minus lepton number which are consistent with the Standard Model. Their explicit expressions and detailed properties are given. In particular, we show that the $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry in $E_6$ cannot be orthogonal to the $SU(3)_R$ symmetry. Based on these investigations, we propose an alternative SU(5) grand unification model.

A Comprehensive Radio and Optical Study of Abell 2256: Activity from an Infalling Group

description: Abell 2256 is a nearby (z~0.06), rich cluster of galaxies with fascinating observed properties across a range of wavelengths. Long believed to represent a cluster merger, recent X-ray and optical results have suggested that in addition to the primary cluster and subcluster there is evidence for a third, poorer system. We present wide-field, high sensitivity 1.4 GHz VLA radio observations of Abell 2256 in conjunction with optical imaging and additional spectroscopy. Over 40 cluster radio galaxies are identified, with optical spectroscopy indicating the emission source (star formation or AGN) for most of them. While the overall fraction of galaxies exhibiting radio emission is consistent with a large sample of other nearby clusters, we find an increase in the activity level of galaxies belonging to the third system (hereafter, the ``Group''). Specifically, the Group has relatively more star formation than both the primary cluster and main subcluster. The position of the Group is also coincident with the observed cluster radio relic. We suggest that the Group recently (~0.3 Gyr) merged with the primary cluster and that this merger, not the ongoing merger of the primary and the main subcluster, might be responsible for many of the unusual radio properties of Abell 2256. Furthermore, the greater star formation activity of the Group suggests that the infall of groups is an important driver of galaxy evolution in clusters.

To investigate individual Mn dopants at the atomic scale in both ionized and neutral configurations, we used a room temperature cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscope (X-STM). We found that in the neutral configuration manganese manifests itself as an anisotropic cross-like feature. We attribute this feature to a hole weakly bound to the Mn ion forming the [Mn2+(3d5) + hole] complex.

description: Polysaccharides are semi-flexible polymers composed of sugar residues with a myriad of important functions including structural support, energy storage and immunogenicity. The local conformation of such chains is a crucial factor governing their interactions, where the relative orientation of adjacent sugar rings determines the propensity for hydrogen bonding and specific ion-mediated interactions with neighbouring chains. Traditionally this conformation has only been directly accessible in the solid-state, using crystallographic techniques such as fibre diffraction. Herein it is demonstrated that improvements in the quality of synchrotron-based x-ray scattering data means that conformation-dependent features, the positions of which are related to the linear repeating distance between single saccharide monomers, can now be measured in solution. This technique is expected to be universally applicable for polysaccharides that consist of comparatively stiff glycosidic linkages, and to have extensive relevance for a number of biological macromolecules, including glycosylated proteins.

description: We present a detailed near-infrared chemical abundance analysis of 10 red giant members of the Galactic open cluster NGC 752. High-resolution (R$\simeq$45000) near-infrared spectral data were gathered with the Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrograph (IGRINS), providing simultaneous coverage of the complete H and K bands. We derived the abundances of H-burning (C, N, O), $α$ (Mg, Si, S, Ca), light odd-Z (Na, Al, P, K), Fe-group (Sc, Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni) and neutron-capture (Ce, Nd, Yb) elements. We report the abundances of S, P, K, Ce, and Yb in NGC 752 for the first time. Our analysis yields solar metallicity and solar abundance ratios for almost all of the elements heavier than the CNO group in NGC 752. O and N abundances were measured from a number of OH and CN features in the $H$ band, and C abundances were determined mainly from CO molecular lines in the K band. High excitation \ion{C}{i} lines present in both near-infrared and optical spectra were also included in the C abundance determinations. Carbon isotopic ratios were derived from the R-branch band heads of first overtone (2-0) and (3$-$1) $^{12}$CO and (2-0) $^{13}$CO lines near 23440 Åand (3-1) $^{13}$CO lines at about 23730 Å. The CNO abundances and $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C ratios are all consistent with our giants having completed "first dredge-up" envelope mixing of CN-cyle products. We independently assessed NGC 752 stellar membership from Gaia astrometry, leading to a new color-magnitude diagram for this cluster. Applications of Victoria isochrones and MESA models to these data yield an updated NGC 752 cluster age (1.52 Gyr) and evolutionary stage indications for the program stars. The photometric evidence and spectroscopic light element abundances all suggest that the most, perhaps all of the program stars are members of the helium-burning red clump in this cluster.

description: The primary cilium is a cellular antenna that senses and integrates external stimuli. Its composition is regulated by specialized proteins, such as BBS proteins, and mutations in any of the genes that encode BBS proteins cause a rare disease called the Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). Although most patients with BBS develop a severe form of central obesity, their metabolic outcomes per se seems to be better than in patients with non- syndromic obesity. Obesity-triggered inflammation, known as metaflammation, is a key player in cardiometabolic diseases; however, the regulatory mechanisms remain ill- defined. I hypothesized that BBS patients are protected from developing metaflammation and, thereby, obesity-related metabolic disorders. To address that, I performed deep immunophenotyping of BBS patients using high-dimensional flow cytometry and multi- omics analyses in a nationwide cohort of patients and compared the results to non- syndromic obese patients as well as matching healthy controls. To gain mechanistic insight, I analyzed different global and cell-specific BBS mouse models and performed in vitro assays. I identified genotype-dependent differences in the metabolomic and lipidomic profile as well as in circulating concentrations of metaflammation-related cytokines among BBS patients, indicating a healthy obesity phenotype in BBS1 patients, but not in others. The differences were mirrored by changes in the circulating Treg cells, pointing towards an “anti-inflammatory” phenotype in BBS1 patients, exerted by an expanded Treg cell pool. By examining the underlying molecular mechanisms in an obese BBS mouse model (Bbs8KO) that resembles the phenotype of BBS1 patients, I demonstrated that these mice showed an expansion of Treg cells in the visceral adipose tissue, which is linked with an enhanced metabolic function. These differences occurred already at an early age in the thymus during Treg development, driven by thymic epithelial cells (TECs), which regulate Treg cell development. Taken together, I demonstrated that BBSome-dependent signaling in TEC cells controls Treg development. Loss BBSome function promotes Treg expansion, which exerts an immunomodulatory effect during obesity, ameliorating metaflammation.
Theoretical Analysis for Extended Target Recovery in Randomized Stepped Frequency Radars

description: Randomized Stepped Frequency Radar (RSFR) is very attractive for tasks under complex electromagnetic environment. Due to the synthetic high range resolution in RSRFs, a target usually occupies a series of range cells and is called an extended target. To reconstruct the range-Doppler information in a RSFR, previous studies based on sparse recovery mainly exploit the sparsity of the target scene but do not adequately address the extended-target characteristics, which exist in many practical applications. Block sparsity, which combines the sparsity and the target extension, better characterizes a priori knowledge of the target scene in a wideband RSFR. This paper studies the RSFR range-Doppler reconstruction problem using block sparse recovery. Particularly, we theoretically analyze the block coherence and spectral norm of the observation matrix in RSFR and build a bound on the parameters of the radar, under which the exact recovery of the range-Doppler information is guaranteed. Both simulation and field experiment results demonstrate the superiority of the block sparse recovery over conventional sparse recovery in RSFRs.

description: We demonstrate a variety of ordered patterns, including hexagonal structures and chains, formed by colloidal particles (droplets) at the free surface of a nematic liquid crystal (LC). The surface placement introduces a new type of particle interaction as compared to particles entirely in the LC bulk. Namely, director deformations caused by the particle lead to distortions of the interface and thus to capillary attraction. The elastic-capillary coupling is strong enough to remain relevant even at the micron scale when its buoyancy-capillary counterpart becomes irrelevant.

Neutrino Mass Matrix in Terms of Up-Quark Masses

description: We demonstrate that under the "symmetric zero texture" with minimal Majorana mass matrix, neutrino masses and mixing angles are expressed in terms of up-quark masses, $m_t,m_c,m_u$. This provides interesting relations among neutrino mixing angles and up-type quark masses. Especially we predict $|U_{e3}| \leq 0.11$ even if we include the small mixing effects coming from charged lepton side. Also absolute masses of three neutrinos are predicted almost uniquely. This is quite in contrast to the case where bi-large mixings come from the charged lepton sector with non-symmetric charged lepton mass matrix.

 Biology. The larvae have been found in northern California living in tree holes of pine or oak below 600 m elevation and on small rain and snow protected rock shelves at higher elevations. In both habitats they are in fine organic matter with their legs holding onto a solid substrate. Larvae have also been found in houses near the forest. In one case larvae were found living on top of a basement refrigerator covered with dust. Adult females use substrate testing with the end of their abdomen to determine suitability of egg deposition sites before coating eggs with fine material and leaving them on the surface. The females of this species appear to be unique in the family studied so far in that they die shortly after laying their eggs instead of continuing to feed and developing more eggs (Miller 1990).

Marine protected areas (MPAs) restore marine life within their boundaries, which can incentivize poaching, but monitoring them is costly. This has led to widespread perception that illegal fishing is rampant in MPAs. We use artificial intelligence and satellite-based earth observation to estimate industrial fishing activity inside fully and highly protected MPAs, where all industrial fishing is illegal. We find insignificant to no apparent illegal fishing activity within these MPAs–about one-quarter (24%) of MPAs never had a fishing vessel present at the satellite flyover time, and the average MPA only had 1 fishing vessel per 16,000 km2. Only a handful of MPAs, primarily located in the Republic of Korea and China, exhibited high industrial fishing vessel presence. Overall, our findings show that highly protected MPAs prevent industrial fishing more successfully than previously thought.

 Efferia caymanensis Scarbrough 1988: 150.
 Types examined. CAYMAN ISLANDS: Grand Cayman BWI / E. Foldmans Bay / 27.ii.1970 / E.J. Gerberg (holotype m, USNM). Paratypes: Grand Cayman BWI / Boatswain Point / Lime Tree Estate / 16.ii.1985, E.J. Gerberg (allotype f, USNM); same data as allotype except 27.ii.1987; Grand Cayman BWI / Vicksville / NW Pt. 17.viii.1975 / E.J. Gerberg (2 f, USNM, EJGC).
 Distribution. Grand Cayman Island; February and August.
 Remark. Efferia caymanensis is readily distinguished by the red color of the body, wing venation, dense parted setae on tergites 2-4, and male terminalia, especially the small truncate apical process on the epandrium and the narrow style-like gonocoxite (Fig. 17, re-illustrated from Scarbrough 1988). This is the only species of Efferia in West Indies that belongs to the staminea group (see Fig. 3).

Is Trans-Planckian Censorship a Swampland Conjecture?

description: During an accelerated expansion of the Universe, quantum fluctuations of sub-Planckian size can be stretched outside the horizon and be regarded effectively classical. Recently, it has been conjectured that such horizon-crossing of trans-Planckian modes never happens inside theories of quantum gravity (the trans-Planckian censorship conjecture, TCC). We point out several conceptual problems of this conjecture, which is in itself formulated as a statement on the restriction of possible scenarios in a theory: by contrast a standard swampland conjecture is a restriction of possible theories in the landscape of the quantum gravity. We emphasize the concept of swampland universality, i.e. that a swampland conjecture constrains any possible scenario in a given effective field theory. In order to illustrate the problems clearly we introduce several versions of the conjecture, where TCC condition is imposed differently to scenarios realizable in a given theory. We point out that these different versions of the conjecture lead to observable differences: a TCC violation in another Universe can exclude a theory, and such reduction of the landscape restricts possible predictions in our Universe. Our analysis raises the question of whether or not the trans-Planckian censorship conjecture can be regarded as a swampland conjecture concerning the existence of UV completion.

description: We use the X-ray power spectrum of the ROSAT all-sky survey in the R6 band (approximately 0.9-1.3 keV) to set an upper limit on the galaxy cluster power spectrum. The cluster power spectrum is modelled with a minimum number of robust assumptions regarding the structure of the clusters. The power spectrum of ROSAT sets an upper limit on the Omega_m-sigma_8 plane which excludes all the models with sigma_8 above sigma_8 = 0.5/(Omega_m^0.38) in a flat LCDM universe. We discuss the possible sources of systematic errors in our conclusions, mainly dominated by the assumed L_x-T relation. Alternatively, this relation could be constrained by using the X-ray power spectrum, if the cosmological model is known. Our conclusions suggest that only models with a low value of sigma_8 (sigma_8 < 0.8 for Omega_m = 0.3) may be compatible with our upper limit. We also find that models predicting lower luminosities in galaxy clusters are favoured. Reconciling our cosmological constraints with these arising by other methods might require either a high entropy floor or wide-spread presence of cooling flows in the low-redshift clusters.

description: The latest advance in recommendation shows that better user and item representations can be learned via performing graph convolutions on the user-item interaction graph. However, such finding is mostly restricted to the collaborative filtering (CF) scenario, where the interaction contexts are not available. In this work, we extend the advantages of graph convolutions to context-aware recommender system (CARS, which represents a generic type of models that can handle various side information). We propose \textit{Graph Convolution Machine} (GCM), an end-to-end framework that consists of three components: an encoder, graph convolution (GC) layers, and a decoder. The encoder projects users, items, and contexts into embedding vectors, which are passed to the GC layers that refine user and item embeddings with context-aware graph convolutions on user-item graph. The decoder digests the refined embeddings to output the prediction score by considering the interactions among user, item, and context embeddings. We conduct experiments on three real-world datasets from Yelp and Amazon, validating the effectiveness of GCM and the benefits of performing graph convolutions for CARS. Our implementations are available at \url{https://github.com/wujcan/GCM}.

description: The quark gluon plasma is formed in heavy-ion collisions, and it can be described by solutions of relativistic hydrodynamics. In this paper we utilize perturbative hydrodynamics, where we study first order perturbations on top of a known solution. We investigate the perturbations on top of the Hubble flow. From this perturbative solution we can give the form of the particle emitting source and calculate observables of heavy-ion collisions. We describe the source function and the single-particle momentum spectra for a spherically symmetric solution.

description: Two non-commutative dynamical entropies are studied in connection with the classical limit. For systems with a strongly chaotic classical limit, the Kolmogorov-Sinai invariant is recovered on time scales that are logarithmic in the quantisation parameter. The model of the quantised hyperbolic automorphisms of the 2-torus is examined in detail.
