description: A recent result presented the expansion for the entropy rate of a Hidden Markov Process (HMP) as a power series in the noise variable $\eps$. The coefficients of the expansion around the noiseless ($\eps = 0$) limit were calculated up to 11th order, using a conjecture that relates the entropy rate of a HMP to the entropy of a process of finite length (which is calculated analytically). In this communication we generalize and prove the validity of the conjecture, and discuss the theoretical and practical consequences of our new theorem.

description: General relativity predicts that light escaping from a gravitational potential well, such as the surface of a star, will be redshifted, by some 636 km/s in the case of our Sun. The effect is most pronounced for white dwarfs. Gaia astrometry is furthering these studies, and allowing the effects to be characterised for main sequence stars in open clusters and wide binaries.
Electron Trapping by Polar Molecules in Alkane Liquids: Cluster Chemistry in Dilute Solution

description: Monomers and small clusters of such molecules can reversibly trap conduction band electrons in dilute alkane solutions. The dynamics and energetics of this trapping have been studied using pulse radiolysis - transient absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved photoconductivity. Binding energies, thermal detrapping rates, and absorption spectra of excess electrons attached to monomer and multimer solute traps are obtained and possible structures for these species are discussed. "Dipole coagulation" (stepwise growth of the solute cluster around the cavity electron) predicted by Mozumder in 1972 is observed. Acetonitrile monomer is shown to solvate the electron by its methyl group, just like the alkane solvent does. The electron is dipole-bound to the CN group; the latter points away from the cavity. The resulting negatively charged species has a binding energy of 0.4 eV and absorbs in the infrared. Molecules of straight-chain aliphatic alcohols solvate the excess electron by their OH groups; at equilibrium, the predominant electron trap is a trimer or a tetramer; the binding energy of this solute trap is ca. 0.8 eV. Trapping by smaller clusters is opposed by the entropy which drives the equilibrium towards the electron in a solvent trap. For alcohol monomers, the trapping does not occur; a slow proton transfer reaction occurs instead. For acetonitrile monomer, the trapping is favored energetically but the thermal detachment is rapid (ca. 1 ns).

description: We present a multi-instrumental, multidecadal analysis of the activity of the Eta-Aquariid and Orionid meteor showers for the purpose of constraining models of 1P/Halley's meteoroid streams. The interannual variability of the showers' peak activity and period of duration is investigated through the compilation of published visual and radar observations prior to 1985 and more recent measurements reported in the International Meteor Organization (IMO) Visual Meteor DataBase, by the IMO Video Meteor Network and by the Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR). These techniques probe the range of meteoroid masses from submilligrams to grams. The Eta-Aquariids and Orionids activity duration, shape, maximum zenithal hourly rates (ZHR) values, and the solar longitude of annual peaks since 1985 are analyzed. When available, annual activity profiles recorded by each detection network were measured and are compared. Observations from the three detection methods show generally good agreement in the showers' shape, activity levels, and annual intensity variations. Both showers display several activity peaks of variable location and strength with time. The Eta-Aquariids are usually two to three times stronger than the Orionids, but the two showers display occasional outbursts with peaks two to four times their usual activity level. CMOR observations since 2002 seem to support the existence of an ~12 year cycle in Orionids activity variations; however, additional and longer term radar and optical observations of the shower are required to confirm such periodicity.

description: The five-state study area of the Northern Plains and Western Lakes States, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, has adequate feed supplies and feeder cattle to markedly increase cattle feeding. Feed costs in these states have historically been lower than in the Southern Plains States. However, higher transportation costs appear to offset that advantage. Close access to slaughter plants in these states could offset that transportation disadvantage. Backgrounding of cattle appears to be quite profitable and cattle feeding, especially in larger sized feedlots, can be profitable. However, the cattle feeding industry has an increasing level of excess capacity. To be successful, new feedlots in the Northern Plains and Western Lakes States would need cost efficiencies to offset higher production costs, compared to Nebraska and Kansas, or would need to produce for a niche market unaffected by the lower operating costs of already established feedlots in the Central and Southern Plains States. Finally, a range of strategies are available in developing value-added cattle production in the Northern Plains and Western Lakes States. These strategies embody differing levels of capital investment, and involve different levels of risk and profitability.

description: The analysis was conducted to evaluate the impacts of both the Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (FAIR) and the cattle cycle on the livestock enterprises. The North Dakota Representative Farm and Ranch Model, which uses the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute price projections as an input, was developed and used for this analysis. Net farm income and farm debt-to-asset ratios for the average and large beef cattle farms were analyzed. The U.S. cattle industry has been characterized by cyclical variations in production and prices. It appears that the current cattle cycle is in the final stages of expansion. Cattle numbers continued to increase during 1995, but at a slow rate. Industry estimates are that the bottom of cattle prices will occur in late 1996 or 1997. Price recovery is projected to start sometime in 1998 as inventory numbers decline. Prices are forecast to rise through 2002. Net farm income for the representative beef cattle farms is projected to follow the cattle cycle with the lowest net incomes during 1997- 1999. Net farm income for most representative beef cattle farms recovers by 2002-2003. The debt-to-asset ratios for the representative beef cattle farms will likely rise throughout the forecast period.

description: We study the classical simulation complexity in both the weak and strong senses, of matchgate (MG) computations supplemented with all combinations of settings involving inclusion of intermediate adaptive or nonadaptive computational basis measurements, product state or magic and general entangled state inputs, and single- or multi-line outputs. We find a striking parallel to known results for Clifford circuits, after some rebranding of resources. We also give bounds on the amount of classical simulation effort required in case of limited access intermediate measurements and entangled inputs. In further settings we show that adaptive MG circuits remain classically efficiently simulable if arbitrary two-qubit entangled input states on consecutive lines are allowed, but become quantum universal for three or more lines. And if adaptive measurements in non-computational bases are allowed, even with just computational basis inputs, we get quantum universal power again.

description: Significant changes under the 1996 FAIR Act and recent trade agreements are occurring in the U.S. farm sector. The changes will affect both the source and the magnitude of the business and financial risks that farmers will be required to manage. The objectives of this study were to investigate North Dakota farmers' plans regarding business expansion, timing of expansion, and expected financing of that business expansion and to analyze their risk management strategies. The study was based on a statewide survey. The data were categorized into six groups for analysis: demographics, intergenerational transfer, debt characteristics, lender relationships, business expansion, and farmer expectations of their lenders. Statistical techniques were used to evaluate differences among farmers across regions of the state, types of farm businesses, and sizes of farm businesses.

description: We study the lattice model for the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in two dimensions proposed by Cohen, Kaplan, Katz, and Unsal. We re-examine the formal proof for the absence of susy breaking counter terms as well as the stability of the vacuum by an explicit perturbative calculation for the case of U(2) gauge group. Introducing fermion masses and treating the bosonic zero momentum mode nonperturbatively, we avoid the infra-red divergences in the perturbative calculation. As a result, we find that there appear mass counter terms for finite volume which vanish in the infinite volume limit so that the theory needs no fine-tuning.

The role of eyestalk factors in carbohydrate regulation in the crab Cancer magister
Creators: name: Skelton, Holly Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH), located in the sinus gland of the decapod crustacean eyestalk, is proposed to be the primary carbohydrate regulatory hormone in these animals. However, its physiological role is poorly characterized. In this study, the role of eyestalk factors in regulating carbohydrates under control and severely hypoxic (emersion) conditions was investigated in the crab Cancer magister. Previously, dramatic increases in hemolymph flow to the sinus gland, via the anterior aorta, had been proposed to be essential for increases in circulating concentrations of CHH observed during emersion stress. Therefore, ligation of this artery was hypothesized to be an effective means of manipulating circulating hormone titers. The data presented here indicates that, under control conditions, eyestalk extracts (ESE) from C. magister contain an active factor(s) which, when injected into whole animals, cause hyperglycemia in a dose dependent manner. Eliminating flow through the anterior aorta does not annul ESE injection induced hyperglycemia. Carbohydrate stores in heart, hepatopancreas and muscle tissue were affected by anterior aorta ligation and, may therefore be target tissues. Injection of eyestalk extract had no effect on heart, gill, hepatopancreas or muscle carbohydrate content. Treatment of isolated muscle tissue with eyestalk extract had no effect on glucose release and, therefore, did not support the proposed mode of action of CHH. Under emersion stress conditions, hyperglycemia occurs but is prevented if eyestalk factors cannot circulate (anterior aorta ligated animals). Changes in glycogen content of muscle and hepatopancreas identified these tissues as potential targets of eyestalk factor(s) during emersion. Again, in vitro studies of isolated muscle tissue did not support the proposed mode of action of CHH. Finally, the presence of CHH like peptides in eyestalk extracts prepared from C. magister tissue was demonstrated and provides support for the hypothesis that this hormone is responsible for the results observed. The results are discussed in relation to hormonal involvement in metabolic depression displayed by emersed aquatic decapod crustaceans.

description: European Union (EU) dominance of the world malt trade is thought to be due to quality advantages and/or due to export restitutions. A Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) was estimated for four major malt importing countries: Japan, Brazil, Philippines, and Venezuela. Elasticities of substitution for malt among different sources were computed. Results show that malt imported from the EU is least substitutable with malt from other sources, and demand for EU malt is less responsive to changes in price. Expenditure elasticities indicate that the four importers spend proportionately more on malt imports from the EU compared to malt from other sources. For these reasons, the study concludes that price subsidy-based export expansion measures for non-EU malt may have limited effects.

Influence of massive planet scattering on nascent terrestrial planets

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In most extrasolar planetary systems, the present orbits of known giant planets admit the existence of stable terrestrial planets. Those same giant planets, however, have typically eccentric orbits that hint at violent early dynamics less benign for low mass planet formation. Under the assumption that massive planet eccentricities are the end point of gravitational scattering in multiple planet systems, we study the evolution of the building blocks of terrestrial planets during the scattering process. We find that typically, evolutionary sequences that result in a moderately eccentric giant planet orbiting at a ~ 2.5 AU eject over 95% of the material initially present within the habitable zone. Crossing orbits largely trigger the ejection, and leave the surviving material with a wide dispersion in semi-major axis, eccentricity and inclination. Based on these results, we predict that radial velocity follow-up of terrestrial planet systems found by Kepler will find that these are anti-correlated with the presence of eccentric giant planets orbiting at a few AU.

description: Interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) are assumed to be mainly formed on dust-grain surfaces. However, neutral gas-phase reactions in the interstellar medium (ISM) can play an important role. In this paper, by investigating the reaction between aldehydes and the cyano radical, we show that both formaldehyde (CH$_2$O) and acetaldehyde (CH$_3$CHO) can lead to the formation of formyl cyanide (HCOCN). Owing to accurate quantum-chemical computations followed by rate constant evaluations, we have been able to suggest and validate an effective mechanism for the formation of HCOCN, one of the molecules observed in the ISM. Quite interestingly, the mechanism starting from CH$_2$O is very effective at low temperature, while that involving CH$_3$CHO becomes more efficient at temperatures above 200 K.

description: Interest in the concept of sustainability in dairy farming has grown as a result of the continuous pressure on farm incomes, occurrence of animal diseases with a major impact on the image of dairy farming, concerns about animal welfare, and environmental problems caused by agriculture. There are, however, still many gaps in the knowledge regarding sustainable dairy farming. Respecting the earth and the environment and "giving back to community" is a fully integrated part of the Mission Statement of ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's. Following this mission, they have initiated a sustainable dairy farming project, "Caring Dairy", for the European production based in the Netherlands. The aim of Caring Dairy is to secure dairy production in a more sustainable way and to develop guidelines for Sustainable Dairy Farming Practices (SDFP). The approach of Caring Dairy is based on Unilever's sustainable agriculture approach. At this moment 11 dairy farmers participate in Caring Dairy and a baseline measurement for all 11 indicators (soil fertility and health, soil loss, nutrients, pest management, biodiversity, energy, water, farm economics, social human capital, local economy and animal welfare) has been done from where improvement plans, both on a strategic and indicator specific level, have been developed tailored to the specific situation and priorities of the individual farmers. An iterative process of implementation of the improvement plans, measurement, analysis and re-adjusting the plans will lead ultimately to the guidelines for SDFP. Caring Dairy shows the innovation power of supply chains by the bottom-up development of good dairy farming practices in cooperation with all relevant supply chain partners, which goes beyond existing initiatives related to sustainability in the dairy sector.

THE PARADOX OF SUBMISSION IN EPHESIANS 6:5-9: A CRITICAL EXEGETICAL ANALYSIS
Creators: name: Bitrus, Nuhu
Publisher: name: noland journal
Year: 2024

description: This article presents an in-depth exegetical analysis of Ephesians 6:5-9, a passage that has sparked intense debate due to its seemingly paradoxical call for submission within Christian slave master relationships. Through a rigorous examination of the text's historical, cultural, and literary context, this study seeks to unravel the complexities of Paul's teachings on submission, obedience, and authority. By employing a nuanced understanding of ancient Greco-Roman social hierarchies, this research reveals the ways in which Paul's message subverts dominant ideologies, offering a radical redefinition of power and relationships. This study contributes to ongoing discussions in biblical studies, social ethics, and theological anthropology, providing a comprehensive understanding of Ephesians 6:5-9 and its implications for contemporary Christian ethics and praxis.

Findings from this study show that potato cropping practices varies significantly between the various countries with major differences in yield and costs. Italy and Denmark are the two regions with highest gross margins due to high yields and revenues. Poland is by far the largest potato producing country among the 6 countries. However, the production is primarily based on small scale farming with low yields and economic revenues.

description: As the COVID-19 pandemic swept over the world, people discussed facts, expressed opinions, and shared sentiments on social media. Since the reaction to COVID-19 in different locations may be tied to local cases, government regulations, healthcare resources and socioeconomic factors, we curated a large geo-tagged Twitter dataset and performed exploratory analysis by location. Specifically, we collected 650,563 unique geo-tagged tweets across the United States (50 states and Washington, D.C.) covering the date range from January 25 to May 10, 2020. Tweet locations enabled us to conduct region-specific studies such as tweeting volumes and sentiment, sometimes in response to local regulations and reported COVID-19 cases. During this period, many people started working from home. The gap between workdays and weekends in hourly tweet volumes inspired us to propose algorithms to estimate work engagement during the COVID-19 crisis. This paper also summarizes themes and topics of tweets in our dataset using both social media exclusive tools (i.e., #hashtags, @mentions) and the latent Dirichlet allocation model. We welcome requests for data sharing and conversations for more insights. Dataset link: http://covid19research.site/geo-tagged_twitter_datasets/

description: Using developed earlier our methods for multidimensional models \cite{M1,M2,M3} a family of cosmological-type solutions in D-dimensional model with two sets of scalar fields \vecϕ and \vecψ and exponential potential depending upon \vecϕ is considered. The solutions are defined on a product of n Ricci-flat spaces. The fields from \vecϕ have positive kinetic terms and \vecψ are "phantom" fields with negative kinetic terms. For vector coupling constant obeying 0< \vecλ^2 < (D-1)/(D-2) a subclass of non-singular solutions is singled out. The solutions from this subclass are regular for all values of synchronous "time" τ\in (- \infty, + \infty). For \vecλ^2 < 1/(D-2) we get an asymptotically accelerated and isotropic expansion for large values of τ.

description: Fasciolosis is a widespread, significant, endemic problem in cattle in rice-growing areas of Indonesia. Its effects are usually sub-clinical so it remains largely unrecognised by farmers and extensionists. Indonesian and Australian parasitologists have developed a suite of control strategies. Initial attempts to promote these strategies through Transfer of Technology (TOT) approaches achieved increased awareness, but little lasting change in farmer practices was evident 4 years later. This paper reports on the process, and early promising results from, an initiative to trial a Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology to stimulate an extension process whose outcome is effective, sustainable fasciolosis control in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. In PAR, groups of farmers, extension agents and scientists work closely in a cooperative and flexible process, to resolve commonly identified problematic issues. The emphasis is on working with rather than for people through an interactive process to enhance opportunities for learning by doing. The process involved working through a four-step process to gain credible access to four farmer groups in three villages identified as having a fasciolosis problem. This was followed by a 9-month long series of activities, coordinated through farmer group meetings, which included (1) creating awareness through developing a media package, and then maintaining farmer involvement through (2) design and execution of field trials, (3) monitoring results, and (4) presentation and discussion of results with farmers. Group meetings were an important part of the information exchange process, and the use of learning aid tools was regarded as complementary for interpersonal communication. Of the four recommended control strategies, two were already practised for reasons other than fasciolosis control, one was acceptable but had prohibitive cost, and the fourth was unattractive because it was technically difficult to implement. A significant development was a new strategy generated within a farmer group that was adopted readily by other groups. We conclude that adoption of technical innovations by farmers depends largely on two issues: (i) the nature of the associated farming systems, and (ii) the way in which the innovation is presented through extension agency activity. A participative approach appears to have considerable potential for stimulating significant practice change, particularly if it incorporates farmer involvement in generation and dissemination of locally relevant knowledge and recommendations. PAR fosters such a reflexive approach.

description: Very low Earth orbits (VLEO), typically classified as orbits below approximately 450 km in altitude, have the potential to provide significant benefits to spacecraft over those that operate in higher altitude orbits. This paper provides a comprehensive review and analysis of these benefits to spacecraft operations in VLEO, with parametric investigation of those which apply specifically to Earth observation missions. The most significant benefit for optical imaging systems is that a reduction in orbital altitude improves spatial resolution for a similar payload specification. Alternatively mass and volume savings can be made whilst maintaining a given performance. Similarly, for radar and lidar systems, the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved. Additional benefits include improved geospatial position accuracy, improvements in communications link-budgets, and greater launch vehicle insertion capability. The collision risk with orbital debris and radiation environment can be shown to be improved in lower altitude orbits, whilst compliance with IADC guidelines for spacecraft post-mission lifetime and deorbit is also assisted. Finally, VLEO offers opportunities to exploit novel atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion systems and aerodynamic attitude and orbit control methods. However, key challenges associated with our understanding of the lower thermosphere, aerodynamic drag, the requirement to provide a meaningful orbital lifetime whilst minimising spacecraft mass and complexity, and atomic oxygen erosion still require further research. Given the scope for significant commercial, societal, and environmental impact which can be realised with higher performing Earth observation platforms, renewed research efforts to address the challenges associated with VLEO operations are required.

description: This paper is an abstract of a new book for farmers launched on April 8, 2005 (Nell & Napier, 2005). The two authors, Wim Nell of South Africa and Rob Napier of Australia, have respectively 28 and 37 years national and international experience in strategic agricultural management. The book is written for farmers across the world and is dedicated to all farmers. The book takes the reader on a strategic journey to farming success, which consists of 11 stages. At the end of each stage the reader has the opportunity to answer some questions that will guide the process of compiling a strategic plan for a specific farming business. The book opens new horizons for the modern farmer to manage the farming business more successfully.

description: We investigate which conditions of dust attenuation and stellar populations allow models of dusty, continuously star-forming, bulge-less disk galaxies at 0.85.3, Ic-K>4, J-K>2.3). As a main novelty, we use stellar population models that include the thermally pulsating Asymptotic Giant Branch (TP-AGB) phase of stellar evolution. The star formation rate of the models declines exponentially as a function of time, the e-folding time being longer than 3 Gyr. In addition, we use calculations of radiative transfer of the stellar and scattered radiation through different dusty interstellar media in order to explore the wide parameter space of dust attenuation. We find that synthetic disks can exhibit red optical/near-infrared colours because of reddening by dust, but only if they have been forming stars for at least about 1 Gyr. Extremely few models barely exhibit Rc-K>5.3, if the inclination i=90 deg and if the opacity 2*tauV>6. Hence, Rc-K-selected galaxies at 10.5. This explains the large fraction of observed, edge-on disk-like galaxies with Ks<19.5 and F814W-Ks>4. Finally, models with 21 for i about 70 deg). In conclusion, red disk-like galaxies at 0.8

description: Vegetable oil production has become one of the fastest expanding cash crop sectors in the last 50 years and it is still increasing rapidly. However the regions of expansion, the sources of plant oil and their importance vary over time. To shed light on this development it is necessary to look at the farm level production systems and their production costs for a variety of countries and oilseeds. In this paper we present the first results of the IFCN Cash Crop Network covering the international comparison of oilseed producing farms. A total of 25 farms with oilseed production have been analysed in compiling this paper. All farms produce at least one of the following oilseeds: soybeans, oilseed rape, sunflower and (two farms) mustard. The farms are located in 14 different countries/regions and represent typical oilseed producing farms in their region/country. The farm data was collected and compiled in all countries and regions by IFCN Partners according to IFCN standards to en-sure its international comparability. The most competitive farms in oilseed production worldwide can be found in South America. The farms in Ukraine also have great potential. At the moment the farms in Argentina show the highest profit margins. The farms from North America can also cover their full costs with the prices they receive for soybeans, sunflower and rape seed.

description: We present an algorithm for the exhaustive enumeration of all monomer sequences and conformations of short lattice proteins as described by the hydrophobic-polar (HP) model. The algorithm is used for an exact identification of all designing sequences of HP proteins consisting of up to 19 monomers whose conformations are represented by interacting self-avoiding walks on the simple cubic lattice. Employing a parallelized implementation on a Linux cluster, we generate the complete set of contact maps of such walks.
