description: The archaeological record of stars in the Milky Way opens a uniquely detailed window into the early formation and assembly of galaxies. Here we use 11,000 main-sequence turn-off stars with well-measured ages, [Fe/H], [$α$/Fe], and orbits from the H3 Survey and Gaia to time the major events in the early Galaxy. Located beyond the Galactic plane, $1\lesssim |Z|/\rm kpc \lesssim4$, this sample contains three chemically distinct groups: a low metallicity population, and low-$α$ and high-$α$ groups at higher metallicity. The age and orbit distributions of these populations show that: 1) the high-$α$ group, which includes both disk stars and the in-situ halo, has a star-formation history independent of eccentricity that abruptly truncated $8.3\pm0.1$ Gyr ago ($z\simeq1$); 2) the low metallicity population, which we identify as the accreted stellar halo, is on eccentric orbits and its star formation truncated $10.2.^{+0.2}_{-0.1}$ Gyr ago ($z\simeq2$); 3) the low-$α$ population is primarily on low eccentricity orbits and the bulk of its stars formed less than 8 Gyr ago. These results suggest a scenario in which the Milky Way accreted a satellite galaxy at $z\approx2$ that merged with the early disk by $z\approx1$. This merger truncated star formation in the early high-$α$ disk and perturbed a fraction of that disk onto halo-like orbits. The merger enabled the formation of a chemically distinct, low-$α$ disk at $z\lesssim1$. The lack of any stars on halo-like orbits at younger ages indicates that this event was the last significant disturbance to the Milky Way disk.

description: O presente trabalho buscou analisar a competitividade internacional do arroz brasileiro, bem como a competitividade interna e externa de estados produtores individualmente. Para tanto, utilizou-se o Índice de Vantagem Comparativa Revelada (IVCR). Verificou-se que o Brasil como um todo não possui vantagem comparativa para exportação de arroz. Por outro lado, entre os estados produtores, o Rio Grande do Sul se mostrou competitivo internamente em todo o período considerado e, em 2005, também como exportador. Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso e Goiás apresentaram competitividade apenas internamente para alguns dos anos analisados. Mato Grosso do Sul não se mostrou competitivo em nenhum dos anos considerados.----------------------------------------------This paper’s aim was to analyze the international competitiveness of Brazilian rice as well as the internal and international competitiveness of rice growing states. The Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (RCAI) was used. It was verified that Brazil had not comparative advantage in exporting rice. Considering the rice growing states, Rio Grande do Sul is competitive as domestic supplier and also as an exporter in 2005. Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso and Goiás showed only domestic competitiveness in some years. Mato Grosso do Sul showed neither domestic, nor international competitiveness.

description: Resolvent analysis of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations provides useful insight into the dynamics of transitional and turbulent flows and can provide a model for the dominant coherent structures within the flow, particularly for flows with large gain separation. Direct computation of force and response modes using a singular value decomposition of the full resolvent matrix is feasible only for simple problems; despite recent progress, the cost of resolvent analysis for complex flows remains considerable. In this paper, we propose a new matrix-free method for computing resolvent modes based on integration of the linearized equations and the corresponding adjoint system in the time domain. Our approach achieves an order of magnitude speedup when compared to previous matrix-free time stepping methods by enabling all frequencies of interest to be computed simultaneously. Two different methods are presented: one based on analysis of the transient response, providing leading modes with fine frequency discretization; and another based on the steady-state response to a periodic forcing, providing optimal and suboptimal modes for a discrete set of frequencies. The methods are validated using a linearized Ginzburg-Landau equation and applied to the three dimensional flow around a parabolic body.

description: We study a spatial Markovian particle system with pairwise coagulation, a spatial version of the Marcus--Lushnikov process: according to a coagulation kernel K, particle pairs merge into a single particle, and their masses are united. We introduce a statistical-mechanics approach to the study of this process. We derive an explicit formula for the empirical process of the particle configuration at a given fixed time T in terms of a reference Poisson point process, whose points are trajectories that coagulate into one particle by time T. The non-coagulation between any two of them induces an exponential pair-interaction, which turns the description into a many-body system with a Gibbsian pair-interaction. par Based on this, we first give a large-deviation principle for the joint distribution of the particle histories (conditioning on an upper bound for particle sizes), in the limit as the number N of initial atoms diverges and the kernel scales as &frac1N;K. We characterise the minimiser(s) of the rate function, we give criteria for its uniqueness and prove a law of large numbers (unconditioned). Furthermore, we use the unique minimiser to construct a solution of the Smoluchowski equation and give a criterion for the occurrence of a gelation phase transition. endabstract

description: We present direct evidence for anomalous microwave emission in the Perseus molecular cloud, which shows a clear rising spectrum from 11 to 17 GHz in the data of the COSMOSOMAS experiment. By extending the frequency coverage using WMAP maps convolved with the COSMOSOMAS scanning pattern we reveal a peak flux density of 42 (+/-) 4 Jy at 22 GHz integrated over an extended area of 1.65 x 1.0 deg centered on RA = 55.4 (+/-) 0.1 deg and Dec = 31.8 (+/-) 0.1 deg (J2000). The flux density that we measure at this frequency is nearly an order of magnitude higher than can be explained in terms of normal galactic emission processes (synchrotron, free-free and thermal dust). An extended IRAS dust feature G159.6-18.5 is found near this position and no bright unresolved source which could be an ultracompact HII region or gigahertz peaked source could be found. An adequate fit for the spectral density distribution can be achieved from 10 to 50 GHz by including a very significant contribution from electric dipole emission from small spinning dust grains.

description: First results from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission have revealed ubiquitous coherent ion-scale waves in the inner heliosphere, which are signatures of kinetic wave-particle interactions and fluid-scale instabilities. However, initial studies of the circularly polarized ion-scale waves observed by PSP have only thoroughly analyzed magnetic field signatures, precluding a determination of solar-wind frame propagation direction and intrinsic wave-polarization. A comprehensive determination of wave-properties requires measurements of both electric and magnetic fields. Here, we use full capabilities of the PSP/FIELDS instrument suite to measure both the electric and magnetic components of circularly polarized waves. Comparing spacecraft frame magnetic field measurements with the Doppler-shifted cold-plasma dispersion relation for parallel transverse waves constrains allowable plasma frame polarizations and wave-vectors. We demonstrate that the Doppler-shifted cold-plasma dispersion has a maximum spacecraft frequency $f_{sc}^{*}$ for which intrinsically right-handed fast-magnetosonic waves (FMWs) propagating sunwards can appear left-handed in the spacecraft frame. Observations of left-handed waves with $|f|>f_{sc}^{*}$ are uniquely explained by intrinsically left-handed, ion-cyclotron, waves (ICWs). We demonstrate that electric field measurements for waves with $|f|>f_{sc}^{*}$ are consistent with ICWs propagating away from the sun, verifying the measured electric field. Applying the verified electric field measurements to the full distribution of waves suggests that, in the solar wind frame, the vast majority of waves propagate away from the sun, indicating that the observed population of coherent ion-scale waves contains both intrinsically left and right hand polarized modes.

description: It is widely believed that the assumption of homogeneity is a good zero{\it th} order approximation for the expansion of our Universe. We analyze the correction due to subhorizon inhomogeneous gravitational fields. While at early times this contribution (which may act as a negative pressure component) is perturbatively subdominant, we show that the perturbative series is likely to diverge at redshift of order 1, due to the growth of perturbations. So, the homogeneous Friedmann equation can not be trusted at late times. We suggest that the puzzling observations of a present acceleration of the Universe, may just be due to the unjustified use of the Friedmann equation and not to the presence of a Dark Energy component. This would completely solve the coincidence problem.

description: La dépollution de la Méditerranée constitue l’un des principaux chapitres portés par la coopération entre les deux rives nord et sud dans le cadre de l’Union Pour la Méditerranée (UPM). L’objectif de ce papier est d’examiner la relation existante entre l’évolution des émissions du dioxyde carbone (CO2) et la croissance économique dans les pays membres de l’UPM. Cette relation est décrite par la Courbe Environnementale de Kuznets (CEK) qui postule une relation en U inversé entre la dégradation de l’environnement et la croissance économique. Le choix de la spécification économétrique et le problème des variables omises figurent parmi les controverses révélées autour de la CEK. Dans un premier temps, ce papier vise à sélectionner un modèle parmi trois proposés. Dans un second temps, il examine l’effet de la densité de la population et du commerce international sur l’évolution des émissions de CO2. Trois résultats principaux sont attribués par ce travail. D’abord, les niveaux d’émissions de CO2 sont encore en augmentation dans le cas des pays MEDA alors qu’ils sont dans la phase de réduction dans le cas des pays UE. Ensuite, la forme de la CEK ainsi que la valeur du point de retournement dépendent du choix de la forme fonctionnelle. Enfin, la création d’une zone de libre-échange entre les deux rives méditerranéennes ne semble pas affecter la qualité de l’environnement.

description: In this paper we establish an equivalence between the category of graded D-branes of type B in Landau-Ginzburg models with homogeneous superpotential W and the triangulated category of singularities of the fiber of W over zero. The main result is a theorem that shows that the graded triangulated category of singularities of the cone over a projective variety is connected via a fully faithful functor to the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on the base of the cone. This implies that the category of graded D-branes of type B in Landau-Ginzburg models with homogeneous superpotential W is connected via a fully faithful functor to the derived category of coherent sheaves on the projective variety defined by the equation W=0.

description: We propose and analyze a family of periodic braiding protocols in systems with multiple localized Majorana modes ($\textit{majoranas}$) for the purposes of Hamiltonian engineering. The protocols rely on double braids$-\textit{draids}-$which flip the signs of both majoranas, as one is taken all the way around the other. Rapid draiding dynamically suppresses some or all inter-majorana couplings. Protocols suppressing all couplings can drastically reduce residual dynamics within the nearly degenerate many-body subspace ("majorana purification") producing more robust computational subspace. Non-trivial topological models can be achieved by selectively applying draids to some of overlapping (imperfect) majoranas. Importantly, draids can be implemented without having to physically braid majoranas or using projective measurements. In particular, draids can be performed by periodically modulating the coupling between a quantum dot and topological superconducting wire to dynamically suppress the hybridization of majoranas by more than an order of magnitude in current experimental setups.

description: Die Studie analysiert die Nachfrage nach Eiern aus konventioneller und ökologischer Erzeugung in Deutschland auf der Basis von Daten des Haushaltspanels der Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung (GfK) für frische Lebensmittel. Die Datengrundlage ist in ihrer Größe und ihrem Informationsgehalt einzigartig, da sie Einkäufe von mehr als 13.000 Haushalten über einen Fünfjahreszeitraum abbildet. Es wird eine zweistufiges Schätzverfahren angewandt. Im ersten Schritt wird mit einer Probit- Analyse untersucht, welche Faktoren die Kaufwahrscheinlichkeit für die untersuchten Eiersorten beeinflussen. Im zweiten Schritt liefert die Schätzung eines Linear Approximated Almost Ideal Demand Systems (LA/AIDS) detaillierte Preis- und Ausgabenelastizitäten. Dabei berücksichtigt die Studie die Heterogenität der Haushalte, dynamische Aspekte der Nachfrage und den hohen Anteil von Nullbeobachtungen im Datensatz. Während bisherige Arbeiten stets zu dem Ergebnis kamen, dass die Nachfrage nach Bio- Produkten deutlich elastischer ist als die Nachfrage nach konventionellen Lebensmitteln, ermittelt die vorgestellte Studie für Deutschland eine unelastische Nachfrage sowohl für konventionelle als auch für Bio-Eier. Außerdem zeigt sich, dass die Preissensibilität der Verbraucher bei Bio-Eiern mit zunehmender Marktreife des Bio-Marktes abgenommen hat. This paper provides price and expenditure elasticity estimates for organic and conventional eggs. The analysis is based on the GfK FreshFood Scanner panel dataset which comprises purchase information as well as sociodemographic characteristics of the households. The underlying panel is a unique dataset covering grocery purchases of 13,000 households over a sample period of five years. A two-step estimation procedure is applied. First, a probit regression examines which household characteristics affect the probability to buy organic and conventional eggs. Second, a Linear Approximated Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) provides detailed demand elasticity estimates. Thereby, the study accounts for sociodemographic heterogeneity of households as well as for dynamic aspects of demand and for censoring. While in previous studies the demand for organic food was found to be highly elastic, the present analysis suggests that in Germany price elasticities for conventional as well as for organic eggs move in the range of unity. Furthermore, price responsiveness of organic consumers declines over time.

description: Objective: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Online Purchasing Pilot (OPP) authorized the use of SNAP benefits online in Maryland in May 2020. We assessed shopping behavior and intentions associated with uptake and intended future use of online grocery shopping during and after COVID-19 among SNAP-eligible households. Design: In this mixed-methods study, participants completed a survey on online grocery shopping, and a purposefully sampled subset participated in focus groups or in-depth interviews between November 2020 and March 2021. Setting: Predominantly urban households in Maryland Participants: Primary shoppers of SNAP-eligible households with young children (n=310) Results: Most participants reported first shopping for groceries online after the OPP was implemented (57%). Families who purchased groceries in-store less frequently were less likely to report ever buying groceries online (RR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.46, 0.93) compared to weekly grocery shoppers. Shoppers who intended to purchase more groceries online in the next 6-months were more likely to have online shopping experience, although this differed by timing of online grocery service adoption. Participants reported more negative attitudes toward in-store grocery shopping during the pandemic than prior to its onset, and cited COVID-19 as a motivator for ordering groceries online in focus groups. Most participants who had shopped online planned to continue after the pandemic (79%). Conclusions: Most participants who shopped online started during the COVID-19 pandemic and considered the pandemic a key motivator. Findings suggest that low-income households will continue to shop online, affirming the need for policies that promote equitable access to healthy food online.

description: We consider the Ising model on a general tree under various boundary conditions: all plus, free and spin-glass. In each case, we determine when the root is influenced by the boundary values in the limit as the boundary recedes to infinity. We obtain exact capacity criteria that govern behavior at critical temperatures. For plus boundary conditions, an $L^3$ capacity arises. In particular, on a spherically symmetric tree that has $n^αb^n$ vertices at level $n$ (up to bounded factors), we prove that there is a unique Gibbs measure for the ferromagnetic Ising model at the relevant critical temperature if and only if $α\le1/2$. Our proofs are based on a new link between nonlinear recursions on trees and $L^p$ capacities.

description: Since the end of the quasi-moratorium on genetically modified organisms (GMO) in the European Union in 2004, the establishment of GMO-free zones has become an EU wide phenomenon. In contrast to other European countries, Germany follows the concept of cooperative GMO-free zones where neighbouring farmers contractually refrain from GMO cultivation. In this article, we address the question which underlying factors could account for the establishment of cooperative GMO-free zones in Germany. Drawing on the existing literature on spatial agglomeration of different farming systems and the establishment of GMO-free zones, we provide the first systematic study on driving factors for the regional formation of GMO-free zones in Germany. The empirical analysis is based on a unique data set at the federal states level for the years 2004 to 2007. We show that infestation rates with the European Corn Borer, imminent Bt maize cultivation in the near vicinity and the number of arriving tourists mainly account for the establishment of cooperative GMO-free zones. This finding is consistent with the view that it is more the overall rejection of agro-biotechnology by broad strata of the population, including stakeholders in tourism and environmental protection, than economic benefits at the farm level which make German regions establish GMO-free zones.

description: Background Chile’s Food Labelling Law was implemented in three phases with increasingly stricter limits. After initial implementation, sugars and sodium decreased in packaged foods, with no significant changes for saturated fats. It is unclear whether full implementation is linked with further reformulation or if producers reversed changes due to consumers’ preferences. This study examines changes in the proportion of “high in” products and the nutrient content of packaged foods during the Law’s three phases. Methods This repeated cross-sectional study included the best-selling packaged foods and beverages during 2015–2020. We analyzed the proportion of products classified as “high in” critical nutrients using the final phase cutoffs and examined changes in the content of calories, sugars, sodium, and saturated fats in the three phases. To assess the changes in proportions, we used Firth’s bias-reduced logistic regression models and the Cochran-Armitage test for trends. Quantile regression was used to evaluate changes in nutrient content. Results The proportion of “high in” products decreased from 70.8 to 52.5% after the final phase (p < 0.001). The proportion of “high in” sugars products decreased across all sweet food and beverage groups (p < 0.001), except for candies (− 4.5 percentage points (pp), p = 0.09). The largest reductions occurred in sweet spreads and breakfast cereals (− 44.3 and − 40.4 pp, respectively, p < 0.001). For the proportion of “high in” sodium, reductions occurred in all savory food groups (p < 0.001), except cheeses and ready-to-eat meals (p < 0.24), with the largest decreases in savory baked products and non-sausage meat products (− 40.4 and − 38.9 pp, respectively, p < 0.001). Reductions in “high in” saturated fats and energy were less consistent, with the largest decreases in nuts and snacks and savory spreads (− 22.2 and − 20.0 pp, respectively, p < 0.001) and savory baked products and breakfast cereals (− 32.8 and − 25.7 pp, respectively, p < 0.001), respectively. After full implementation, most sweet categories showed left shifts in sugars distribution, except for candies. Similarly, most savory categories showed left shifts for sodium, except savory spreads and ready-to-eat meals. Changes increased as regulation limits tightened (p for trend < 0.001). Conclusions After fully implementing Chile’s law, the proportion of “high in” products and the content of critical nutrients decreased in all food and beverage categories. The largest changes occurred for sodium in savory foods and sugars in sweet foods/beverages. Stricter regulatory limits were associated with decreases in critical nutrient content over time.

description: This paper investigates determinants of growth of milk production in German dairy farms. Event history analysis is applied to estimate the likelihood of a farm’s moving from a nongrowing episode into a growing episode and to assess the impact of various covariates on that likelihood. The analysis is based upon a balanced panel of annual farm accounts from 616 specialised dairy farms from Germany, covering the financial years 1995/96 to 2008/09. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird innerbetriebliches Wachstums von deutschen Milchviehbetrieben mittels der Ereignisanalyse untersucht. Dabei wird die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Austritts aus einer Nicht-Wachstumsepisode bzw. des Eintritts in eine Wachstumsepisode eines Bebetriebes geschätzt. Darüber hinaus werden Einflussfaktoren auf die ermittelte Übergangswahrscheinlichkeit identifiziert. Die Datengrundlage bildet ein balanciertes Panel mit 616 spezialisierten Milchviehbetrieben, von denen die betriebswirtschaftlichen Jahresabschlüsse (von 1995/96 bis 2008/09) und weitere Informationen über die Produktionstechnik sowie den Betriebsleiter vorliegen.

description: Studying the nature of various types of supernovae (SNe) is important for our understanding of stellar evolution. Observations of atomic and molecular gas in the host galaxies of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and SNe have recently been used to learn about the nature of the explosions themselves and the star formation events during which their progenitors were born. Based on archival data for M74, which previously has not been investigated in the context of SN positions, we report the gas properties in the environment of the broad-lined type Ic (Ic-BL) SN 2002ap and the type II SNe 2003gd, 2013ej, and 2019krl. The SN 2002ap is located at the end of an off-centre, asymmetric, 55 kpc-long HI extension containing 7.5% of the total atomic gas in M74, interpreted as a signature of external gas accretion. It is the fourth known case of an explosion of a presumably massive star located close to a concentration of atomic gas (after GRBs 980425, 060505, and SN 2009bb). It is unlikely that all these associations are random (at a 3sigma significance), so the case of SN 2002ap adds to the evidence that the birth of the progenitors of type Ic-BL SNe and GRBs is connected with the accretion of atomic gas from the intergalactic medium. The HI extension could come from tidally disrupted companions of M74, or be a remnant of a galaxy or a gas cloud that accreted entirely from the intragroup medium. The other (type II) SNe in M74 are located at the outside edge of a spiral arm. This suggests that either their progenitors were born when gas was piling up there or that the SN progenitors moved away from the arm due to their orbital motions. These type II SNe do not seem to be related to gas accretion.

description: Der folgende Beitrag befasst sich mit der Nachfrage nach Fair-Trade-Produkten in Deutschland unter besonderer Betrachtung der Mehrzahlungsbereitschaft für Produkte mit dem Fair-Trade-Logo. Empirisch untersucht wurde dies unter Anwendung eines Experiments im Rahmen einer Konsumentenbefragung, in dem das Wahlverhalten und die Zahlungsbereitschaft für Schokolade mit unterschiedlichen Herstellungsstandards erfasst wurden. Ziel war es, einen Eindruck davon zu bekommen, in wieweit Verbraucher sich in ihrer Nachfrage hinsichtlich von Bio- und Fair-Trade-Produkten unterscheiden, welchen Wert Produkte mit beiderlei Kennzeichen haben und welche Gründe hierfür jeweils eine Rolle spielen. Mit Hilfe inferenz- und kausalanalytischer Methoden wurden Einflussfaktoren der Zahlungsbereitschaft sowie des Wahlverhaltens untersucht. Die Studie ergab unter anderem, dass Personen, die bevorzugt Bio-Produkte kaufen, eine höhere Zahlungsbereitschaft für Fair- Trade-Produkte haben. Etwas mehr als ein Drittel der Befragten hatte eine noch höhere Zahlungsbereitschaft für Schokolade, die sowohl das Fair-Trade- als auch das Bio-Logo trug, jedoch im Regelfall nur solange bei der ersten Nennung der Zahlungsbereitschaft bestimmte Preisschwellen noch nicht überschritten wurden. In this paper the demand and the willingness to pay for fair traded products are analysed whereas the focus is also on peoples’ preferences for organic food. An empirical approach is used for the investigation which means more than two hundred people were interviewed and were asked to participate in an experimental, in which both product preferences and the willingness to pay for chocolate with different process standards. The aim was to get an idea of possible differences between the demand for fair-trade-products and organic, of which values consumers put on products which got both labels, the trade and the organic, and of the reasons for different references. By using inferential and causal instruments, impact factors of the willingness to pay and product choice were surveyed. The results indicate, that people who are more likely to buy organic also are willing to pay more for fair-trade-chocolate. Also a number of people are willing to pay more for both, fair trade and organic, as long as certain price limits were not reached already with the first given willingness to pay.

description: Die Neue Institutionenökonomie wird in der agrarökonomischen Forschung häufig als Erklärung dafür herangezogen, dass Landwirte in Genossenschaftsmolkereien auf die Maximierung des Auszahlungspreises fokussiert sind und daher strategische Investitionen ablehnen. Da die Molkereien auf die Zusammenarbeit mit ihrer Mitgliederbasis in den Gremien angewiesen sind, können notwendige strategische Investitionen folglich unterbleiben. Diese Fallstudie zeigt anhand einer Milcherzeugerbefragung, dass nicht alle Landwirte Investitionen in längerfristige Strategien ablehnen. Neben der Neuen Institutionenökonomie bieten verhaltenswissenschaftliche Größen (insb. die Geschäftsbeziehungsqualität) Erklärungsansätze für strategische Defizite in genossenschaftlichen Verarbeitungsunternehmen. Dieser Beitrag ermöglicht es Genossenschaftsmolkereien beispielhaft, Konzepte für die Umsetzung strategischer Investitionen unter einer besseren Kenntnis der Lieferantenstruktur zu entwickeln. In agricultural economics, approaches from Neo Institutional Economics are used to explain why farmer-members in dairy cooperatives are focusing on the maximization of milk prices rather than supporting strategic investments of their dairy processor. However, the management of the dairies has to obtain majority approval of the farmer-members for strategic decisions and thus, necessary long-term strategic investments oftentimes cannot be made. This case study presents a survey of dairy farmers illustrating that not all farmers are opposed to long-term strategic investments. Next to Neo Institutional Economics, behavioral assumptions (in particular relationship quality) also provide possible explanations for the occurrence of strategic deficits in marketing cooperatives. This paper contributes to enable dairy cooperatives to deal with heterogeneous member structures and to successfully realize strategic investments in their cooperatives.
