description: For over 40 years, physicists have considered possible uses for neutrino detectors in nuclear nonproliferation, arms control, and fissile materials security. Neutrinos are an attractive fission signature because they readily pass through matter. The same property makes neutrinos challenging to detect in systems that would be practical for nuclear security applications. This colloquium presents a broad overview of several potential neutrino applications, including the near-field monitoring of known reactors, far-field monitoring of known or discovery of undeclared reactors, detection of reactor waste streams, and detection of nuclear explosions. We conclude that recent detector advances have made near-field monitoring feasible. Farther-field reactor detection and waste stream detection monitoring are possible in some cases with further research and development. Very long-range reactor monitoring and nuclear explosion detection do not appear feasible for the foreseeable future due to considerable physical and/or practical constraints.

description: The suitability of molecular statics (MS) simulations to model the structure of 90° glide set partial dislocation cores in GaAs is analyzed. In the MS simulations the atomic positions are iteratively relaxed by energy minimization, for which a Tersoff potential parametrization appropriate for nanostructures has been used. We show that for the Ga terminated partial the resulting bond lengths of the atoms in the dislocation core agree within 5-10% with those of previous density functional theory studies, whereas a significant discrepancy appears in the case of the As terminated partial.

description: We study decay rates for the energy of solutions of the damped wave equation on the torus. We consider dampings invariant in one direction and bounded above and below by multiples of $x^β$ near the boundary of the support and show decay at rate $1/t^{\frac{β+2}{β+3}}$. In the case where $W$ vanishes exactly like $x^β$ this result is optimal by work of the second author. The proof uses a version of the Morawetz multiplier method.

description: We report the discovery by the RXTE PCA of a second transient accreting millisecond pulsar, XTE J1751-305, during regular monitoring observations of the galactic bulge region. The pulsar has a spin frequency of 435 Hz, making it one of the fastest pulsars. The pulsations contain the signature of orbital Doppler modulation, which implies an orbital period of 42 minutes, the shortest orbital period of any known radio or X-ray millisecond pulsar. The mass function, f_x = (1.278 +/- 0.003) x 10^{-6} M_sun, yields a minimum mass for the companion of between 0.013 and 0.017 M_sun, depending on the mass of the neutron star. No eclipses were detected. A previous X-ray outburst in June, 1998, was discovered in archival All-Sky Monitor data. Assuming mass transfer in this binary system is driven by gravitational radiation, we constrain the orbital inclination to be in the range 30-85 deg, and the companion mass to be 0.013-0.035 M_sun. The companion is most likely a heated helium dwarf. We also present results from the Chandra HRC-S observations which provide the best known position of XTE J1751-305.

description: Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is the most common type of leukaemia. It is common in older people and rare in people under 40. CLL is characterised by the accumulation of monoclonal CD5+CD23+ B lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow and secondary lymphatic tissues. There are 2 main subtypes of CLL based on the IgHV status: Un-mutated CLL (UM-CLL) and Mutated CLL (M-CLL). M-CLL leads to good prognosis whereas UM-CLL is the more aggressive form of the disease that could lead to Richter syndrome. Prognostics markers for CLL are the IgHV mutational status, chromosomal aberrations, CD38 expression and ZAP70 expression. Of these 4 prognostic markers, some are very labour intensive and not easy to perform on a routine basis, however ZAP70 expression has been a reliable predictor for the prognosis of CLL. In this study, I investigated the role of ZAP70 in CLL. This was done using P505-15, a dual selective SYK and ZAP70 inhibitor, to reduce kinase activity of ZAP70. This was followed by siRNA knockdown experiments to disentangle effects of SYK and ZAP70 and reduce off target effects from other kinases. In addition, to better characterise protein interactors of ZAP70, B cell lines expressing both BirA ligase as well as ectopic expression of ZAP70 were generated. Then, immunoprecipitation of endogenous ZAP70 in patient CLL cells was carried out followed by mass spectrometry analysis. BCR signalling is known to play a fundamental role in CLL cell survival and proliferation. Here, I have shown that P505-15 reduces calcium mobilization, cell survival and proliferation in ZAP70 positive CLL cells. Knockdown of ZAP70 using siRNA in CLL patient cells was achieved, however efficiency varied between patients. Knockdown of ZAP70 using siRNA showed no significant change in calcium mobilization compared to non specific siRNA. Using the ZAP70 knockdown cells, I further investigated changes downstream of the BCR signalling pathway. Comparing siZAP70 to siNSC, siZAP70 showed an increase in pAKT levels in CLL cells post anti IgM activation, however no changes in NF-κB activity were observed. Finally, mass spectrometry using BJAB cells and CLL cells positive for ZAP70, confirmed the role of ZAP70 in BCR signalling. In addition, it unexpectedly unveiled ZAP70’s role in CLL cell migration and it’s potential role in the DNA damage pathway in CLL cells.

description: Since 1984, Minnesota has been channeling $8-$9 million per year in loans and grants to businesses through a fund that aims to stimulate State and local economic growth, aid distressed areas, and help low- and moderate-income people. The program sends 90 percent of its funds to nonmetro areas, with moderate success. Forty percent of the nonmetro projects appeared to contribute to economic growth within the State (1984-88), and the most economically distressed counties received more than their share of projects. However, most of the created jobs paid lower wages than the local average.

description: The study explored the response of aggregate farm output, input use, and farm investment decisions to output and input prices, wages, technological change, public investments, and climatic factors using district-level panel data of over 39 years from Andhra Pradesh. It confirms the low, short-run aggregate output supply elasticity of Indian agriculture as found in the literature. It validates the hypothesis that the relationships between public investment, financial institutions, and farm investment of labor and capital in agriculture have not changed over the years. The empirical estimates of aggregate output supply elasticity with respect to output price (0.2), roads (0.2), markets (0.11), and net irrigated area (0.05) are higher than previous findings for selected states in India. Aggregate agricultural output responds positively to credit availability (represented by banks) and canal irrigation, each with an elasticity of 0.01. The wage elasticity (0.3) on aggregate output is higher than price elasticity (0.2), indicating that the effects of rising wages outweigh the incentives offered by output price support. Climatic factors (e.g., rainfall) significantly affect fertilizer use and aggregate output while deviation from normal rainfall adversely affects aggregate output. The study substantiates previous findings that public investment in infrastructure and financial institutions respond to the agriculture potential and agro-climatic endowments of an area. A renewed focus, therefore, is required for better targeting of public investments in areas that are relatively resource poor and have harsh agro-climatic conditions for a more inclusive growth and rural poverty reduction.

description: Contract farming is seen as one of the measures to facilitate participation of farmers in commercial agriculture, adding more value to agricultural products. Vietnam, however, shows mixed evidence on the well-known advantages of contract farming to small farmers such as reduced cost of accessing the market; access to credit information on market opportunities or new technologies, inputs, and product markets; and reduced price fluctuations. This study analyzed the impact of contract farming on farmers and identified policies that may facilitate farmers’ entry into beneficial contractual relationships. In addition to the literature review, an intensive case study of cassava contract farming was conducted. Data were analyzed using a dual-method approach—governance and institutional analysis and a pro-poor analysis. Factors found to be important to contract farming are extension services, farmer empowerment (technical and managerial), and capacity building of the farmer organization. The results from the study have direct relevance to stakeholders of contract farming, either through practical field support or through policy advocacy.

De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: This paper investigates the determinants of total household income in selected rice-based farming villages in the Philippines. A quantile regression approach was applied on cross-section data obtained from 656 farming households across four provinces. Determinants of household income were examined using an ordinary quantile regression approach, which, unlike conditional mean regression, allows parameter variation across income quantiles. The quantile regression approach also enables the analysis of income determinants for extreme categories such as low-income households. Results indicate that coefficients estimated through ordinary least squares (OLS) could be misleading. The quantile estimates preserved their signs in most cases but their magnitude varied across quantiles. The paper particularly emphasizes the determinants of income for poor households. The quantile estimations show that education of the male head and the existence of migrant workers in households are the most important determinants of income for poor households.

description: To promote devolution and participation in natural resource governance, the government of Indonesia encourages the collective management of natural resources through self-governed local communes. It also promotes consensual decision-making over the use and allocation of natural resources at the village, district, and regency level. This approach, when coupled with the commercialization of Indonesia’s natural resources, is believed to encourage social inclusion, economic welfare, and ecological responsiveness. The case of Sinjai’s mangroves suggests that the presence of social institutions can stimulate social sensibility, encourage attachment to the natural landscape, and instigate collective responsibility for protecting the local mangroves. Community initiatives for mangrove planting within the village of Tongke Tongke emerged due to wave intrusion, soil erosion, and material loss. The hope to create new land and own mangrove trees sustained the motivation for land restoration and led to the initiation of the Aku Cinta Indonesia (ACI) mangrove organization. The ACI organization, whose aim is to establish clearly defined property and user rights for safeguarding the cultivators’ hard work, provides community members with pride, identity, and platforms for mangrove conservation. Although the mangrove plots are privately owned by the 117 ACI members, they are also collectively managed and conserved by the multiple resource users across the landscape. In Tongke Tongke, social institutions and local rules came into play and the people committed to protect the mangroves on behalf of the community. These social institutions took the form of kinship ties, collective identity, symbolic reciprocity, social responsibility, and ecological sensibility. The mangroves were not free access, but governed by formal and informal rules to maintain its benefits for the good of the community. The community, through the elders, determined the access and made decisions about management on behalf of them all. Community members acted in a way that benefited the overall good even when they were avowing individual rights. Individuals evolved behaviors that were commensurate with their responsibilities, leading to innovative power structures that were locally sensitive and environmentally appropriate.
Rice Yield Gap between Myanmar and Vietnam: A Matter of Price Policy or Public Investment in Technology?

description: This paper examines the rice yield gap between Myanmar and Vietnam, two countries that show a stark contrast in terms of rice production in the past two decades. It considers the impact on yield of price policies and public investments in production technology. While domestic rice prices were once controlled in both countries, no clear deterioration or improvement in terms of trade for rice producers were confirmed in the past two decades. Rather, the widening yield gap in this period might be attributable to differences in technological changes due to public investments. It is implied that Myanmar needs more effective public investments in agriculture to upgrade production technology. Furthermore, the experience of the two countries suggests that delegating the budget to local governments might raise the effectiveness of public investments.

We investigate different heat-capacity features in the canonical quantum statistical model of nuclear multifragmentation generalized in the framework of Tsallis nonextensive thermostatistics. We find that the negative branch of heat capacity observed in quasi-peripheral Au+Au collisions is caused primarily by the non-generic nonextensivity effects.

description: Antibodies have been extensively studied since the 1890s, revealing their importance in protective immunity and allowing their development in numerous research and therapeutic applications. However, these studies have focused almost exclusively on the extracellular effector mechanisms of antibodies such as opsonisation, complement activation, antibody-dependent cytotoxicity and receptor blocking. The discovery of TRIM21 as a cytosolic antibody receptor has revolutionised our understanding of humoral immunity and revealed that antibodies can mediate protective immunity inside cells. Recently, this TRIM21 mediated antiviral mechanism has been repurposed to degrade endogenous cellular proteins in a technique known as “Trim-Away”. TRIM21 has been shown to be a critical component of humoral immunity in mouse infection models but there is no known human disease associated with the loss of TRIM21 antiviral activity. To address this question, I investigated the impact of naturally occurring polymorphisms on the antiviral functions of TRIM21. Interestingly, coding variants in TRIM21 are individually rare and all missense variants tested empirically retained at least some antiviral activity. This suggest that the antiviral functions of TRIM21 are under positive selection and that mutations leading to a complete loss of function are likely to be incredibly rare. How TRIM21 is activated and regulated is not completely understood. My data has revealed that detection of antibody bound viruses initiates TRIM21-dependent anchored K63-chain polyubiquitination. This is significant as TRIM21 is known to functionally require the E2 enzyme Ube2W, which monoubiquitinates TRIM21 in vitro, and Ube2N, which extends monoubiquitinated TRIM21 to form anchored K63-linked chains. These ubiquitin chains are thought to drive proteasome recruitment and pro-inflammatory NF-B signalling. Using a combination of biochemical and cellular assays I have identified key residues in the TRIM21 RING domain that are responsible for efficient catalysis of ubiquitin transfer. In addition, I have discovered that the catalytic activity of TRIM21 is regulated through a combination of B-box autoinhibition and substrate-induced RING dimerization. Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of TRIM21 regulation, activation and catalysis is enabling the further development of TRIM21 based research technologies such as Trim-Away. In one example, I show how TRIM21 can be exploited to allow light-induced protein degradation in living cells.

description: Spiny lobster puerulus settlements have recently been found in bays in Lombok, Indonesia, leading to the development of lobster grow-out culture in adjacent areas. This research suggests that lobster farming in Indonesia is a viable alternative livelihood for Indonesian fishers. Currently, returns to investment are modest and largely dependent on the price and availability of lobster seed and credit. Farmers are harvesting the lobsters as soon as they reach marketable size (100 grams) to minimize potential mortality and generate income as soon as possible. This research suggests there are significant benefits from delaying harvest until the lobsters are larger (approximately 300 grams) to benefit from higher yields. The profitability of the industry is not expected to be significantly impacted by large increases in fuel prices, although a disease epidemic would be devastating. Feeds are dominantly low-value finfish, the majority of which is caught by the farmer. There are significant economic benefits to be realized from the use of pelleted diets (especially if they are functional feeds) and farmers indicated that they would be willing to try them if they were available. Early adoption of pellets by this nascent industry is likely to prevent significant negative environmental impacts as the industry develops.

description: As a part of a study of the cause of solar coronal heating, we searched for high-frequency (~1 Hz) intensity oscillations in coronal loops in the [Fe XIV] coronal green line. We summarize results from observations made at the 11 August 1999 total solar eclipse from Ramnicu-Valcea, Romania, through clear skies. We discuss the image reduction and analysis through two simultaneous series of coronal CCD images digitized at 10 Hz for a total time of about 140 s. One series of images was taken through a 3.6 A filter isolating the 5303 A [Fe XIV] coronal green line and the other through a 100 A filter in the nearby K-corona continuum. Previous observations, described in Pasachoff et al. (2000), showed no evidence for oscillations in the [Fe XIV] green line at a level great than 2% of coronal intensity. We describe several improvements made over the 1998 eclipse that led to increased image clarity and sensitivity. The corona was brighter in 1999 with the solar maximum, further improving the data. We use Fourier analysis to search in the [Fe XIV] channel for intensity oscillations in loops at the base of the corona. Such oscillations in the 1-Hz range are predicted as a result of density fluctuations from the resonant absorption of MHD waves. The dissipation of a significant amount of mechanical energy from the photosphere into the corona through this mechanism could provide sufficient energy to hear the corona. A Monte-Carlo model of the data suggests the presence of enhanced power, particularly in the 0.75-1.0 Hz range, and we conclude that MHD waves remain a viable method for coronal heating.

description: Coffee leaf rust is a major disease affecting the production of Arabica coffee. This paper presents an estimation of socioeconomic and locational determinants of CLR management as they relate to the application of fungicides (Bordeaux mixture and systemic fungicides) in India. Using survey data from 575 growers (comprising 90% small and poor growers), estimates of binary logit models offer evidence on the significant impact of altitude, rainfall, age of household head, economic status, social caste, and size of bearing area of the Arabica coffee cultivation on CLR management. Given the socioeconomic and estate variables, the estimated probability of adoption is highest for Bordeaux mixture. These results offer new insights into CLR management practices beyond the known cultural and cultivation practices. They imply a need for public policy on recommended CLR management practices and subsidy for chemical inputs to improve production and productivity of small and poor Arabica coffee growers. Further, the framework and results are relevant and applicable to other Arabica coffee growing countries in Asia and Africa.

description: The paper compares the profitability, price, marketing and consumption of broiler in bird flu rumour period with that in normal period. Savar upazila and Dhaka city were selected as producing and consuming areas respectively. Twenty farm owners, 25 intermediaries and 40 consumers were interviewed. Farmers earned only Tk 61 in bird flu period compared with Tk 112 in normal period by investing Tk 100 in poultry production. Marketing chain became shorter and marketing cost increased in abnormal period. Marketing margin and profit of traders decreased significantly due to low volume of trade. Consumers did not respond instantaneously to the rumour and average fall in price in bird flu period was three times as much as price fall in normal period. Over one-half of consumers totally stopped consuming broiler due to rumour of bird flu.

description: Today's Internet connects billions of physical devices. These devices are often immature and insecure, and share common vulnerabilities. The predominant form of attacks relies on recent advances in Internet-wide scanning and device discovery. The speed at which (vulnerable) devices can be discovered, and the device monoculture, mean that a single exploit, potentially trivial, can affect millions of devices across brands and continents. In an attempt to detect and profile the growing threat of autonomous and Internet-scale attacks against the Internet of Things, we revisit honeypots, resources that appear to be legitimate systems. We show that this endeavour was previously limited by a fundamentally flawed generation of honeypots and associated misconceptions. We show with two one-year-long studies that the display of warning messages has no deterrent effect in an attacked computer system. Previous research assumed that they would measure individual behaviour, but we find that the number of human attackers is orders of magnitude lower than previously assumed. Turning to the current generation of low- and medium-interaction honeypots, we demonstrate that their architecture is fatally flawed. The use of off-the-shelf libraries to provide the transport layer means that the protocols are implemented subtly differently from the systems being impersonated. We developed a generic technique which can find any such honeypot at Internet scale with just one packet for an established TCP connection. We then applied our technique and conducted several Internet-wide scans over a one-year period. By logging in to two SSH honeypots and sending specific commands, we not only revealed their configuration and patch status, but also found that many of them were not up to date. As we were the first to knowingly authenticate to honeypots, we provide a detailed legal analysis and an extended ethical justification for our research to show why we did not infringe computer-misuse laws. Lastly, we present honware, a honeypot framework for rapid implementation and deployment of high-interaction honeypots. Honware automatically processes a standard firmware image and can emulate a wide range of devices without any access to the manufacturers' hardware. We believe that honware is a major contribution towards re-balancing the economics of attackers and defenders by reducing the period in which attackers can exploit vulnerabilities at Internet scale in a world of ubiquitous networked `things'.

description: Routine applications of electronic structure theory to molecules and periodic systems need to compute the electron density from given Hamiltonian and, in case of non-orthogonal basis sets, overlap matrices. System sizes can range from few to thousands or, in some examples, millions of atoms. Different discretization schemes (basis sets) and different system geometries (finite non-periodic vs. infinite periodic boundary conditions) yield matrices with different structures. The ELectronic Structure Infrastructure (ELSI) project provides an open-source software interface to facilitate the implementation and optimal use of high-performance solver libraries covering cubic scaling eigensolvers, linear scaling density-matrix-based algorithms, and other reduced scaling methods in between. In this paper, we present recent improvements and developments inside ELSI, mainly covering (1) new solvers connected to the interface, (2) matrix layout and communication adapted for parallel calculations of periodic and/or spin-polarized systems, (3) routines for density matrix extrapolation in geometry optimization and molecular dynamics calculations, and (4) general utilities such as parallel matrix I/O and JSON output. The ELSI interface has been integrated into four electronic structure code projects (DFTB+, DGDFT, FHI-aims, SIESTA), allowing us to rigorously benchmark the performance of the solvers on an equal footing. Based on results of a systematic set of large-scale benchmarks performed with Kohn-Sham density-functional theory and density-functional tight-binding theory, we identify factors that strongly affect the efficiency of the solvers, and propose a decision layer that assists with the solver selection process. Finally, we describe a reverse communication interface encoding matrix-free iterative solver strategies that are amenable, e.g., for use with planewave basis sets.

description: Government Boro procurement programme was evaluated with the help of primary data collected from different upazilas under Bogra and Naogaon districts during 2001. Additionally, secondary data were obtained from different sources. Farmers and millers directly sold paddy and rice respectively to the procurement centre. Faria and Bepari did not sell paddy or rice directly to the procurement centre but they formed a complex channel in procurement of rice in the study areas. Large differences were observed between procurement price and market price and procurement price and cost of production in different years. The highest difference between procurement price and market price was observed in the month of May for paddy and June for rice. Positive relationship was observed between the percentage of marketed surplus procured and market price of paddy. Small farmers sold the highest proportion of their surplus to the procurement centre compared with large farmers. The cost of selling paddy to procurement centre was more than double as much as the cost involved in selling paddy in the market. Majority of millers were not satisfied with the size of quota received for Boro rice. The factors such as marketed surplus, experience, education, metalled road and distance of procurement centre were found to influence the participation of farmers in procurement programme. The major reasons for not selling paddy to the procurement centre by farmers were lengthy procedure, loss of time and high transportation cost.

description: A $C^0$-Finsler structure is a continuous function $F:TM \rightarrow [0,\infty)$ defined on the tangent bundle of a differentiable manifold $M$ such that its restriction to each tangent space is an asymmetric norm. We use the convolution of $F$ with the standard mollifier in order to construct a mollifier smoothing of $F$, which is a one parameter family of Finsler structures $F_\varepsilon$ (of class $\mathit{C}^\infty$ on $TM\backslash 0$) that converges uniformly to $F$ on compact subsets of $TM$. We prove that when $F$ is a Finsler structure, then the Chern connection, the Cartan connection, the Hashiguchi connection, the Berwald connection and the flag curvature of $F_\varepsilon$ converges uniformly on compact subsets to the corresponding objects of $F$. As an application of this mollifier smoothing, we study examples of two-dimensional piecewise smooth Riemannian manifolds with nonzero total curvature on a line segment. We also indicate how to extend this study to the correspondent piecewise smooth Finsler manifolds.

description: We consider $4d$ compact lattice QED in the quenched approximation. First, we briefly summarize the spectrum of the staggered Dirac operator and its connection with random matrix theory. Afterwards we present results for the low-lying eigenmodes of the Neuberger overlap-Dirac operator. In the strong coupling phase we find exact zero-modes. Subsequently we discuss possibly related topological excitations of the U(1) lattice gauge theory.
