description: We construct supersymmetric models of SO(10) unification in which the gauge symmetry is broken by orbifold compactification. We find that using boundary conditions to break the gauge symmetry down to $SU(3)_C \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y \otimes U(1)_X$ without leaving unwanted massless states requires at least two extra dimensions, motivating us to work with 6D orbifolds. SO(10) is broken by two operations, each of which induces gauge-breaking to either the Georgi-Glashow, Pati-Salam, or flipped $SU(5) \otimes U(1)$ subgroups; assigning different unbroken subgroups to the two operations leaves only the standard model gauge group and $U(1)_X$ unbroken. The models we build employ extra-dimensional mechanisms for naturally realizing doublet-triplet splitting, suppressing proton decay, and avoiding unwanted grand-unified fermion mass relations. We find some tension between being free of anomalies of the 6D bulk, accommodating a simple mechanism for generating right-handed neutrino masses, and preserving the precise prediction of the weak mixing angle.

description: The standard theory of anti-poverty targeting assumes individual incomes cannot be observed, but statistical properties of income distribution in broadly defined groups are known. Targeting rules are then derived for the forms of transfers conditioned on group membership of individuals. In this literature the motivating notion of a “group” is purely statistical, even when it is groups such as localities and ethnicities. We model instead a group as a “community”, meaning thereby a collection of individuals who have access to a community-specific public good, from which non-members are excluded. Such differential access constitutes a source of inequality among poor individuals belonging to different communities. We show that this formulation of what constitutes a group changes many of the basic results of the targeting literature. Optimal targeting for poverty alleviation leads to seemingly paradoxical rules, such as targeting transfers to the community that is richer. Total wealth of non-poor members of a community and its distribution both become relevant for specifying optimal targeting rules.

Determining See-Saw Parameters from Weak Scale Measurements?

description: The see-saw mechanism is a very attractive explanation for small neutrino masses, parametrized at the GUT scale by the right-handed Majorana mass matrix, ${\cal M}$, and the neutrino Yukawa matrix, ${\bf Y_ν}$. We show that in a SUSY model with universal soft terms, ${\cal M}$ and ${\bf Y_ν}$ can be calculated from the light neutrino masses, the MNS matrix, and ${\bf Y^{\dagger}_ν} {\bf Y_ν}$, which enters into the left-handed slepton radiative corrections. This suggests that in principle the GUT-scale inputs of the seesaw could be reconstructed from the neutrino and sneutrino mass matrices. We briefly discuss why this is impractical, but advocate the neutrino and sneutrino mass matrices as an alternative bottom-up parametrization of the seesaw.

The state is poor and facing stiff-armed resistance from the tribal population under a Naxalite movement. The paper focus is on poorer and poorest population in the Chhattisgarh state and their struggle under the three focused areas education, health and living standard. The paper adopts Alkire-Foster (A-F) methodology to explore the three-dimension and deprivation that exist under it in the surveyed population. For the purpose of DHS-VII India, 2015-16, surveyed data is obtained, and A-F methodology is applied to reach a meaningful conclusion. The study represents the lowest two quintiles of wealth index category from the population of 26 million spread over 18 districts of the state bifurcated under the urban and rural sector. The modification in methodology to accommodate target population characteristics and to reach meaningful conclusion can be reproduced for any region and helpful in designing policies for the suffering population.

The world tea economy : supply, demand and market structure
Creators: name: Ramanujam, Prathap
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1984
Subjects: subject: Tea trade

description: In this study, the supply, demand and the market structure of the world tea economy are analysed by formulating a commodity model. The use of an overly stylized model in the modelling of any primary commodity is found to be untenable. The specific characteristics of the commodity such as its physical characteristics of perishability, the nature of the production process etc., must be given consideration before proceeding to formulate the model. A clear distinction is made in this thesis between the intermediate output which is tea supplied by the producers (input tea or tea I) and the final output which is tea consumed by the consumers (consumer tea or tea II). The role of the intermediary who buys the input tea,blends and sells consumer tea, in the price determination process is extensively discussed. The supply of the perennial crop, tea, is considered in a framework of a vintage production model and a number of useful insights into the formulation of the supply model have been derived. Its relationship to the more standard Nerlovian supply model is also spelt out. The demand for consumer tea is estimated with the price for tea II, rather than the usual erroneous practice of using price of tea I. An important innovation of this study is a simple method to test empirically certain hypotheses regarding the market structure of certain primary commodities through an econometric commodity model. This simple test and the investigation of the role played by the intermediary strongly suggests that the input tea market is essentially monopsonistic. In the light of the above conclusion, it is found that the present policies discussed in international organisations to alleviate the problems of the tea producers are inadequate. Alternative policies such as producer collusion to bargain for a higher price, or forward integration into the tea processing industry, are theoretically analysed and found to have some merit.

We calculate one-loop corrections to the Higgs mass due to Kaluza-Klein modes explicitly in a model with SUSY breaking mass splitting between bosonic and fermionic modes. We perform the proper time cutoff at $1/Λ^2$ and the KK level truncation at $\ell$. It is shown that the finite result is obtained as long as $\ell \gg RΛ$ for the compactification radius $R$.

description: In this letter, we investigate the effects of Lorentz symmetry violation on a relativistic neutral scalar boson within the framework of the Klein-Gordon formalism. We consider a tensor $(K_F)_{μναβ}$ out of the Standard Model Extension, which describes the field configuration consisting of a constant magnetic field $\vec{B}=B\hat{z}$ and a cylindrical electric field $\vec{E}=\fracλ{r}\hat{r}$. We analyze and discuss the effects of Lorentz symmetry violation on the equation of motion and show that the presence of a specific Lorentz symmetry violation parameter is essential to obtain analytical solutions for scattering and bound states. Employing the partial wave approach in cylindrical coordinates, we calculate the relativistic phase shift, scattering amplitude and $S$-matrix, and discuss the effects of Lorentz symmetry violation on the phase shift. Furthermore, we obtain bound-state solutions by examining the poles of the $S$-matrix and compare our findings with those reported in the literature. Our results reveal that bound-state solutions are only feasible for a restrict range of Lorentz symmetry violation parameters, which contradict previous studies.

description: We report $β$-detected NMR of ion-implanted $^{8}$Li in a single crystal and thin film of the strongly correlated metal LaNiO$_{3}$. In both samples, spin-lattice relaxation measurements reveal two distinct local metallic environments, as is evident from $T$-linear Korringa $1/T_{1}$ below 200 K with slopes comparable to other metals. A small, approximately temperature independent Knight shift of $\sim 74$ ppm is observed, yielding a normalized Korringa product characteristic of substantial antiferromagnetic correlations, but, we find no evidence for a magnetic transition from 4 to 310 K. Two distinct, equally abundant $^{8}$Li sites is inconsistent with the widely accepted rhombohedral structure of LaNiO$_{3}$, but cannot be simply explained by either of the common alternative orthorhombic or monoclinic distortions.

description: We present a novel formulation for the calibration of a biophysical tumor growth model from a single-time snapshot, MRI scan of a glioblastoma patient. Tumor growth models are typically nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Thus, we have to generate a second snapshot to be able to extract significant information from a single patient snapshot. We create this two-snapshot scenario as follows. We use an atlas (an average of several scans of healthy individuals) as a substitute for an earlier, pretumor, MRI scan of the patient. Then, using the patient scan and the atlas, we combine image-registration algorithms and parameter estimation algorithms to achieve a better estimate of the healthy patient scan and the tumor growth parameters that are consistent with the data. Our scheme is based on our recent work (Scheufele et al, "Biophysically constrained diffeomorphic image registration, Tumor growth, Atlas registration, Adjoint-based methods, Parallel algorithms", CMAME, 2018), but apply a different and novel scheme where the tumor growth simulation in contrast to the previous work is executed in the patient brain domain and not in the atlas domain yielding more meaningful patient-specific results. As a basis, we use a PDE-constrained optimization framework. We derive a modified Picard-iteration-type solution strategy in which we alternate between registration and tumor parameter estimation in a new way. In addition, we consider an $\ell_1$ sparsity constraint on the initial condition for the tumor and integrate it with the new joint inversion scheme. We solve the subproblems with a reduced-space, inexact Gauss-Newton-Krylov/quasi-Newton methods. We present results using real brain data with synthetic tumor data that show that the new scheme reconstructs the tumor parameters in a more accurate and reliable way compared to our earlier scheme.

description: This paper reviews empirical tests of two of the main implications of the internationalization model: that firms, as they gain international experience, enter markets of increasing psychic distance and that they enter a given market with successive entry modes that reflect increasing commitment. One problem with much of this literature is that it fails to control for economic variables that affect the choice of target market and that of entry mode. Another is the overemphasis on exports, and the relative neglect of foreign production. Yet, because it is more risky and less reversible, foreign production would seem to provide a better test of the model.
The radicalization of the Indian and Irish nationalist movements, 1914-1922 : a comparison
Creators: name: Kwok, Andrew Kai-Tai
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1984

description: I initially conceived of this research when I was an honours student at the University of Tasmania. It was then that my supervisors, Dr. Asim Roy and Dr. Richard Davis, painstakingly showed me that the interaction of the Indian and Irish nationalist movements during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was a much neglected field of research. Dr. Davis himself has already done some substantial work in this field. Other historians such as Dr. Mary Cumpston, Dr. J.V. Crangle, and Dr. Howard Brasted have also contributed significant studies to this fertile area of academic endeavour. However, most of the work on this rare domain of comparative studies is concentrated in the nineteenth century. Dr. Cumpston, for instance, discusses the nature of Irish nationalist advocacy of Indian interests during 1851-1906. Dr. Brasted, in two welldocumented articles which establish the Irish Home Rule influence on the development of Indian national consciousness, also confines himself to the 1870s and 1880s. Dr. Crangle, who analyses Irish nationalist diatribes against the imperial administration of India, too, focuses his attention on the period 1880-1884.

Subjects: Food Security and Poverty

description: This paper offers an informal theory of fractal poverty traps that lead to chronic poverty at multiple scales of socio-spatial aggregation. Poverty traps result from nonlinear processes at individual, household, community, national and international scales that cause the coexistence of high and low equilibrium levels of productivity and income and high and low rates of economic growth. Multiple equilibria result from key threshold effects that exist at all scales due to market failures and nonmarket coordination problems. Key implications of fractal poverty traps include (i) the importance of recognizing meso-level phenomena in addition to conventional micro- and macro-level issues, (ii) inter-connections across social-spatial scales that foster or ameliorate chronic poverty, (iii) the importance of identifying and overcoming thresholds at which accumulation and productivity dynamics bifurcate, and (iv) the significant potential role of transitory donor and government interventions and safety nets to ignite sustainable growth among the poor.

We show that the polarization potentials produced by the ionic impurities are capable of capturing hundreds of atoms into loosely bound states. We describe the spontaneous formation of these hollow molecular ions via phonon emission and suggest an optical technique for coherent stimulated transitions of free atoms into a specific bound state. These results open up new interesting possibilities for manipulating tightly confined ensembles.

Land Economics/Use

description: Food-for-work (FFW) programs are commonly used both for short-term relief and long-term development purposes. In this paper we assess the potential of FFW programs to reduce poverty and promote sustainable land use in the longer run. There is a danger that such programs distort labor allocation or crowd out private investments and therefore have negative side effects. How important are such effects, when are these effects small and large, and when and how can they be reduced? How do technology and market characteristic and the design of FFW programs affect the long-run impact of FFW interventions? When, where and how can FFW programs more efficiently reduce poverty and promote more sustainable land management? Could FFW programs even be used to crowd in private investments? The paper attempts to provide answers to these questions, drawing on empirical evidence and an applied bio-economic farm household model for a less-favoured area in northern Ethiopia.

description: Recently there have been several studies devoted to the investigation of the fate of fundamental relativistic symmetries at the foreseen unification of gravity and quantum regime, that is the Planck scale. In order to preserve covariance of the formulation even if in an amended formulation, new mathematical tools are required. In this work, we consider DSR theories that modify covariance by introducing a non-trivial structure in momentum space. Additionally, we explore the possibility of investigating both universal quantum gravity corrections and scenarios where different particle species are corrected differently within the framework of these models. Several astroparticle phenomena are then analyzed to test the phenomenological predictions of DSR models.

The Accords were heralded as a breakthrough in the search -for peace in the Middle East and a demonstration o-f the supreme power o-f the United States in the region. The crucial American role in negotiating these Accords was the culmination of a trend, exhibited as early as the Eisenhower administration, as the United States became the only power able to influence Israe1. Such inf1uence was best exerted directly by the President; the Camp David Accords were a direct consequence of the personal intervention of President Carter. Yet the Accords fell far short of the comprehensive peace the Carter administration originally sought and claimed to have achieved. Israel remains surrounded by hostile neighbours, involved in intermittent wars and in occupation of over one million unwilling Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza. The weaknesses of the Accords and the hostile reception they received among even 'moderate’ Arab regimes reflects the limitations on US power to influence Israel or the Arabs.

description: Government policies have over the years created an incentive structure in the Philippine livestock sector that is significantly adverse to the hog and cattle industries and favourable to the poultry industry. Previous studies indicate that the country enjoys a comparative advantage in the former but not in the latter. The government may not have put the country's scarce resources to their best possible use and policy reforms should therefore be undertaken. This study provides an insight into the possible consumption, production, foreign trade and welfare effects of an alternative price policy scenario consistent with the objectives of the Philippine Tariff Reform Programme. The study, however, deals with a more radical change - a total elimination of effective price distortions in the hog and poultry industries - than the Reform Programme. Quarterly data from 1974 to 1983 were used for stochastic simulation model of the Philippine livestock and feedgrain sectors. The model features three-commodity dynamics, endogenous price policy behaviour and endogenous stock-holding behaviour. The model exhibited reasonable econometric properties and fair forecasting accuracy despite the limitations of the model and the data used. The policy experiment indicates that a movement towards equal zero effective protection of the hog and poultry industries would be desirable on overall social welfare grounds and consistent with the country's pattern of comparative advantage. Producers, primarily the hog raisers, are the 'gainers' from the policy change while consumers generally are the 'losers'. Backyard or 'poor' hog farmers would gain more than the commercial or 'rich' hog farmers. In the poultry sector, a proportionately smaller amount of the sector's total loss is shared among the backyard farmers. The differential nature of consumption between the 'poor' and 'rich' consumers, although not very significant, may also suggest that 'poor' consumers are less penalized by the change in policy than 'rich' ones. An interesting outcome of the policy experiment is the projected transformation of the country from a net meat Importer under the reference forecast to a net meat exporter under the new policy forecast. This comes about mainly from the large increase in pork production resulting from a marginal increase in the nominal protection rate.

description: The spectral energy distribution (SED) of observed stars in wide-field images is crucial for chromatic point spread function (PSF) modelling methods, which use unresolved stars as integrated spectral samples of the PSF across the field of view. This is particularly important for weak gravitational lensing studies, where precise PSF modelling is essential to get accurate shear measurements. Previous research has demonstrated that the SED of stars can be inferred from low-resolution observations using machine-learning classification algorithms. However, a degeneracy exists between the PSF size, which can vary significantly across the field of view, and the spectral type of stars, leading to strong limitations of such methods. We propose a new SED classification method that incorporates stellar spectral information by using a preliminary PSF model, thereby breaking this degeneracy and enhancing the classification accuracy. Our method involves calculating a set of similarity features between an observed star and a preliminary PSF model at different wavelengths and applying a support vector machine to these similarity features to classify the observed star into a specific stellar class. The proposed approach achieves a 91\% top-two accuracy, surpassing machine-learning methods that do not consider the spectral variation of the PSF. Additionally, we examined the impact of PSF modelling errors on the spectral classification accuracy.

description: The cooling of a young bare strange star is studied numerically by solving the equations of energy conservation and heat transport for both normal and superconducting strange quark matter inside the star. We show that the thermal luminosity from the strange star surface, due to both photon emission and e+e- pair production, may be orders of magnitude higher than the Eddington limit, for about one day for normal quark matter but possibly for up to a hundred years for superconducting quark matter, while the maximum of the photon spectrum is in hard X-rays with a mean energy of ~ 100 keV or even more. This differs both qualitatively and quantitatively from the photon emission from young neutron stars and provides a definite observational signature for bare strange stars. It is shown that the energy gap of superconducting strange quark matter may be estimated from the light curves if it is in the range from ~ 0.5 MeV to a few MeV.

description: Agriculture is still the main stay of the Burmese economy and the livestock sub-sector is an integral part of the agricultural sector. Use of draught cattle , which is the main source of power , is significantly related to the intensity of cultivation. Livestock are maintained by small farmers as part of mixed farming , in this way these two sectors are complementary and inter-dependent. The main objective of this study is to examine the aspects of the cattle economy of Burma since independence and the consequences of State policy in this field. Much has been done in the agricultural sector since independence, especially beginning from the early 1960s and effects have started to become noticeable since the late 1970s. The livestock sector is targeted to increase at an average annual growth rate of 5.34 percent in net value of output (at constant 1969-70 prices) during the Twenty - Year Plan (1974-75 to 1993-94). However, actual growth rate during the first decade (1974 - 75 to 1983 - 84 ) was 4.49 percent , less than the desired rate . Growth of agriculture has been substantial and growth in numbes of draught cattle though higher in recent decades than in the past is still not sufficient , because of the dispersion of land among the peasants. During the past decade, as the rate of expansion draught cattle was faster than that of total sown area, average sown area per yoke has been declining. Percapita consumption of meat is fairly low and percapita consumption of milk is very low, in fact lowest in the Asian region. To improve the situation, the State has been encouraging individuals and organizations to take up and or improve animal rearing for milk production. A milk processing plant is being established with Australian aid. Recent policy initiatives (since the late 1970s) and establishment of a separate Ministry of Livestock Breeding and Fisheries (in 1983) including initiatives like livestock insurance and loan schemes, the milk processing plant and improved breeding programmes should help to improve performance of the sector. Due to constraints of data availability this study has been restricted to an overall view of the sector°s performance . Periodic indepth studies of the sector (with appropriate data base) will help in identification of bottlenecks and formulation of appropriate corrective policy.

description: Collision models have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their versatility to simulate open quantum systems in different dynamical regimes. They have been used to study various interesting phenomena such as the dynamical emergence of non-Markovian memory effects and the spontaneous establishment of synchronization in open quantum systems. In such models, the repeated pairwise interactions between the system and the environment and also the possible coupling between different environmental units are typically modeled using the coherent partial-swap (PSWAP) operation as it is known to be a universal homogenizer. In this study, we investigate the dynamical behavior of incoherent collision models, where the interactions between different units are modeled by the incoherent controlled-swap (CSWAP) operation, which is also a universal homogenizer. Even though the asymptotic dynamics of the open system in case of both coherent and incoherent swap interactions appear to be identical, its transient dynamics turns out to be significantly different. Here we present a comparative analysis of the consequences of having coherent or incoherent couplings in collision models, namely, PSWAP or CSWAP interactions respectively, for the emergence of memory effects for a single qubit system and for the onset synchronization between a pair of qubits, both of which are strictly determined by the transient dynamics of the open system.

description: High-energy radiation caused by exoplanetary space weather events from planet-hosting stars can play a crucial role in conditions promoting or destroying habitability in addition to the conventional factors. In this paper, we present the first quantitative impact evaluation system of stellar flares on the habitability factors with an emphasis on the impact of Stellar Proton Events. We derive the maximum flare energy from stellar starspot sizes and examine the impacts of flare associated ionizing radiation on CO$_2$, H$_2$, N$_2$+O$_2$ --rich atmospheres of a number of well-characterized terrestrial type exoplanets. Our simulations based on the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System [PHITS] suggest that the estimated ground level dose for each planet in the case of terrestrial-level atmospheric pressure (1 bar) for each exoplanet does not exceed the critical dose for complex (multi-cellular) life to persist, even for the planetary surface of Proxima Centauri b, Ross-128 b and TRAPPIST-1 e. However, when we take into account the effects of the possible maximum flares from those host stars, the estimated dose reaches fatal levels at the terrestrial lowest atmospheric depth on TRAPPIST-1 e and Ross-128 b. Large fluxes of coronal XUV radiation from active stars induces high atmospheric escape rates from close-in exoplanets suggesting that the atmospheric depth can be substantially smaller than that on the Earth. In a scenario with the atmospheric thickness of 1/10 of Earth's, the radiation dose from close-in planets including Proxima Centauri b and TRAPPIST-1 e reach near fatal dose levels with annual frequency of flare occurrence from their hoststars.
