description: New development paradigms come and go, seemingly with increasing rapidity, yet poverty remains the scourge of the developing nations. As we enter the new millennium, we fear that still more development fads and fancies will emerge, to be taken up and then dropped by the development community. These swings in fashion bring with them the danger that the ‘basics’ of effective development strategies for poverty reduction will be neglected. In this article, we advance some personal and perhaps controversial views about the virtues of getting agriculture moving as a means of reducing poverty, and about the role that agricultural economists can and should play in that endeavour.

description: In the consensus model of Sznajd, opinions are integers and a randomly chosen pair of neighbouring agents with the same opinion forces all their neighbours to share that opinion. We propose a simple extension of the model to continuous opinions, based on the criterion of bounded confidence which is at the basis of other popular consensus models. Here the opinion s is a real number between 0 and 1, and a parameter εis introduced such that two agents are compatible if their opinions differ from each other by less than ε. If two neighbouring agents are compatible, they take the mean s_m of their opinions and try to impose this value to their neighbours. We find that if all neighbours take the average opinion s_m the system reaches complete consensus for any value of the confidence bound ε. We propose as well a weaker prescription for the dynamics and discuss the corresponding results.

description: Much concern about the negative environmental consequences of agricultural development in Australia, including salinisation, waterlogging and algal blooms, has focused on the problems of the Murray–Darling Basin. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the environmental problems of the Murray–Darling Basin from an economic perspective, and a selective survey of the relevant economic literature, including theoretical analysis, modelling and contributions to the development of water policy. In attempting to understand the complex problems of the Murray–Darling Basin, an eclectic approach drawing on externality, sustainability and property rights perspectives seems most appropriate.

description: The goal of this work is to reduce driver's range anxiety by estimating the real-time energy consumption of electric vehicles using deep convolutional neural network. The real-time estimate can be used to accurately predict the remaining range for the vehicle and hence, can reduce driver's range anxiety. In contrast to existing techniques, the non-linearity and complexity induced by the combination of influencing factors make the problem more suitable for a deep learning approach. The proposed approach requires three parameters namely, vehicle speed, tractive effort and road elevation. Multiple experiments with different variants are performed to explore the impact of number of layers and input feature descriptors. The comparison of proposed approach and five of the existing techniques show that the proposed model performed consistently better than existing techniques with lowest error.

description: A study of the pressure effect on the magnetic penetration depth $λ$ in polycrystalline MgB$_{2}$ was performed by measuring the temperature dependence of the magnetization under an applied pressure of 0.15 and 1.13 GPa. We found that $λ^{-2}$ at low temperature is only slightly affected by pressure [$\frac{Δλ^{-2}}{λ^{-2}} = 1.5(9)%$], in contrast to cuprate superconductors, where, in the same range of pressure, a very large effect on $λ^{-2}$ was found. Theoretical estimates indicate that most of the pressure effect on $λ^{-2}$ in MgB$_2$ arises from the electron-phonon interaction.

description: The history of marketing, research, development policies and intervention in marketing of the wool clip is reviewed from the perspective of an insider. The overall theme is that politics took over comprehensively from clear economic policy advice on wool marketing in the past 50 years and woolgrowers paid a high price for this. The idea of ‘integrated marketing’ including an export monopoly, a buffer stock scheme and coordinated promotion and R&D, collectively a strong interventionist philosophy, has waxed and waned. Having borne most of the costs of these failed policies, remaining woolgrowers can now look forward to a market less distorted by political interference.

description: During the last decades, there has been a burst of scientific literature hypothesizing the antioxidant effect of probiotics. However, the results of these studies are inconsistent and a final conclusion has yet to be reached. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the effects of probiotic/synbiotic supplementation on serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in adults. The following online databases were searched until August 26th 2020: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Clarivate Analytics Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Science Direct, Google Scholar and Igaku Chuo Zasshi. The effect sizes were expressed as the weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). A total of 31 eligible trials with 1681 participants (839 cases and 842 controls) were included in this meta-analysis. The results revealed that the supplementation with probiotics/synbiotics, significantly increased serum TAC (WMD: 54.14 mmol/L, 95% CI: 27.87, 80.40, P Available evidence suggests that probiotic/synbiotic supplementation can significantly increase serum TAC, GSH and NO, as well as reduce MDA levels in adults. Therefore, probiotic/synbiotic supplementation may play a role in improving antioxidant indices and reducing oxidative stress in the body.

description: We investigate the dynamical properties of a system of interacting magnetic dipoles disposed in sites of an sc lattice and forming a cubic-shaped sample of size determined by the cube edge length (N-1)a (a being the lattice constant, N representing the number of dipolar planes). The dipolar field resulting from the dipole-dipole interactions is calculated numerically in points of the axis connecting opposite cube face centers (central axis) by collecting individual contributions to this field coming from each of the N atomic planes perpendicular to the central axis. The applied magnetic field is assumed to be oriented along the central axis, magnetizing uniformly the whole sample, all the dipoles being aligned parallelly in the direction of the applied field. The frequency spectrum of magnetostatic waves propagating in the direction of the applied field is found numerically by solving the Landau-Lifshitz equation of motion including the local (nonhomogeneous) dipolar field component; the mode amplitude spatial distributions (mode profiles) are depicted as well. It is found that only the two energetically highest modes have bulk-extended character. All the remaining modes are of localized nature; more precisely, the modes forming the lower part of the spectrum are localized in the subsurface region, while the upper-spectrum modes are localized around the sample center. We show that the mode localization regions narrow down as the cube size, N, increases (we investigated the range of N=21 to N=101), and in sufficiently large cubes one obtains practically only center-localized and surface-localized magnetostatic modes.

description: Oxidative stress is a common physiopathological condition enrolled in risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Individuals in such a redox imbalance status present endothelial dysfunctions and inflammation, reaching the onset of heart disease. Phytochemicals are able to attenuate the main mechanisms of oxidative stress and inflammation and should be considered as supportive therapies to manage risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including betanin (betanidin-5-O-β-glucoside), a pigment displaying the potential to alleviate oxidative stress and inflammantion, as previously demonstrated in preclinical trials. Betanin resists gastrointestinal digestion, is absorbed by the epithelial cells of intestinal mucosa and reaches the plasma in its active form. Betanin displays free-radical scavenger ability through hydrogen or electron donation, preserving lipid structures and LDL particles while inducing the transcription of antioxidant genes through the nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 and, simultaneously, suppressing the pro-inflammatory nuclear factor kappa-B pathways. This review discusses the anti-radical and gene regulatory cardioprotective activities of betanin in the pathophysiology of endothelial damage and atherogenesis, the main conditions for cardiovascular disease. In addition, betanin influences on these multipath cellular signals and aiding in reducing cardiovascular disorders is proposed.

description: Consistent aggregation ensures that behavioural properties which apply to disaggregate relationships apply also to aggregate relationships. The agricultural economics literature which has tested for consistent aggregation or measured statistical bias and/or inferential errors due to aggregation is reviewed. Tests for aggregation bias and errors of inference are conducted using indices previously tested for consistent aggregation. Failure to reject consistent aggregation in a partition did not entirely mitigate erroneous inference due to aggregation. However, inferential errors due to aggregation were small relative to errors due to incorrect functional form or failure to account for time series properties of data.

description: In this paper we present a vision based hardware-software control system enabling autonomous landing of a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It allows the detection of a marked landing pad in real-time for a 1280 x 720 @ 60 fps video stream. In addition, a LiDAR sensor is used to measure the altitude above ground. A heterogeneous Zynq SoC device is used as the computing platform. The solution was tested on a number of sequences and the landing pad was detected with 96% accuracy. This research shows that a reprogrammable heterogeneous computing system is a good solution for UAVs because it enables real-time data stream processing with relatively low energy consumption.

description: Use of benefit‐cost analysis for economic comparison of agricultural research projects remains confounded, by lack of rigour in specifying the without‐project scenario and how benefits from an innovation endure after its adoption declines. Failure to account for the without‐project scenario favours projects to the extent that more benefits are foregone than costs avoided. Moreover, it is unreasonable to assume generally that aggregate benefits from an innovation continue at the peak level until the end of a 30–40 year planning horizon. A general BCA model for agricultural research projects is presented to enable flexible handling of these issues.
Non-Binary Constrained Codes for Two-Dimensional Magnetic Recording

description: The two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) technology promises storage densities of $10$ terabits per square inch. However, when tracks are squeezed together, a bit stored in the two-dimensional (TD) grid suffers inter-symbol interference (ISI) from adjacent bits in the same track, and inter-track interference (ITI) from nearby bits in the adjacent tracks. A bit is highly likely to be read incorrectly if it is isolated in the middle of a $3 \times3$ square; surrounded by its complements, horizontally and vertically. We improve the reliability of TDMR systems by designing two-dimensional constrained codes that prevent these square isolation patterns. We exploit the way TD read heads operate to design our codes, and we focus on TD read heads that collect signals from three adjacent tracks. We represent the two-dimensional square isolation constraint as a one-dimensional constraint on an alphabet of eight non-binary symbols. We use this new representation to construct a non-binary lexicographically-ordered constrained code where one third of the information bits are unconstrained. Our TD constraint codes are capacity-achieving, and the data protection is achieved with redundancy less than $3\%$ and at modest complexity.

Productivity Analysis

description: In this article we explore some issues surrounding the use of farm‐level efficiency and productivity estimates for benchmarking studies. Using an eight‐year balanced panel of Victorian wool producers we analyse annual variation between estimates of farm‐level technical efficiency derived using Data Envelopment Analysis and Malmquist estimates of Total Factor Productivity. We find that farms change their relative rank in terms of efficiency across years. Also, unlike aggregate studies of Total Factor Productivity, we find at best erratic and modest growth, a worrying result for this industry. However, caution is needed when interpreting these results, and for that matter, benchmarking analysis as currently practised when using frontier estimation techniques like Data Envelopment Analysis.

description: Large areas of agricultural land under conventional crops and pastures are at risk of dryland salinisation in Australia. The salinisation problem can be controlled by strategic and large‐scale planting of trees; however, farm forestry enterprises evaluated with conventional discounting techniques do not generally rank as an attractive alternative to annual crops on productive land. In this article, an optimal control model that explicitly accounts for decline or improvement in land quality over a period of 40 years is presented. The optimal area planted to trees and the optimal groundwater‐table trajectory through time are determined under a variety of scenarios. Implications of the results for policy design are discussed.

description: We account for lateral orderings of III-V nanostructures resulting from a GaAs/InAs/InGaAs/GaAs sequence grown on GaAs by metallorganic vapour phase epitaxy at two different temperatures. For both samples, the ordering is induced by the stress field of a periodic dislocation network (DN) shallowly buried and parallel to the surface. This DN is a grain boundary (GB) that forms, between a thinGaAs layer (onwhich growthwas performed) and aGaAs substrate joined together by wafer bonding, in order to accommodate a tilt and a twist between these two crystals; both these misorientations are imposed in a controlled manner. This GB is composed of a one-dimensional network of mixed dislocations and of a one-dimensional network of screwdislocations. For both samples, the nanostructures observed by transmission electronmicroscopy (TEM) and atomic forcemicroscopy are ordered by the underlyingDNobserved byTEMsince they have same dimensions andorientations as the cells of the DN.

description: Childhood and Adolescent overweight and obesity may be associated with psychological problems. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and summarize published articles on the association between overweight/obesity with risk of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and body dissatisfaction among children and adolescents. PubMed and Scopus databases were used to conduct a comprehensive search and identify eligible literature published prior to July 2020. The random-effects models (DerSimonian–Laird method) were applied to pool the effect sizes. Subgroup analysis was performed to find potential sources of heterogeneity. 28 studies (3 prospective cohorts and 25 cross-sectional) were included in the current systematic review and meta-analysis. The total sample sizes ranged from 244 to 60252. A positive significant association was found between overweight (pooled risk estimate: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.00–1.31, P = 0.04) and obesity (pooled risk estimate: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.16–2.02, P = 0.003) with risk of low self-esteem, respectively. A significant positive association was found between obesity and risk of body dissatisfaction (pooled risk estimate: 4.05, 95% CI: 2.34–7.023, P = 0.0001). Moreover, no association was found between overweight and risk of body dissatisfaction among children and adolescents. Also, no association was observed between overweight/obesity and risk of depression and anxiety. Findings showed a positive association between obesity and the risk of body dissatisfaction and low self-esteem among children and adolescents. Moreover, there was a significant positive association between overweight and the risk of low self-esteem.

The cost of this to the dairy sector was estimated and a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model (GTAP) was used to investigate the impact of additional production costs on NZ’s dairy export trade. Two scenarios were analysed: first, NZ acts unilaterally in imposing water quality regulations, second, the other principal dairy exporters act in a similar fashion. Changes in trade patterns vary from insignificant to large, depending on the scenario analysed.

Oscillatory waves in an inhomogeneous excitable medium
Creators: name: Prat, Alain
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: An excitable medium is a nonlinear dissipative dynamical system able to sustain undamped wave propagation. Examples of excitable media include cardiac tissue and neural media. This thesis investigates a class of novel dynamical phenomena in excitable media, known collectively as oscillatory waves. The examples of oscillatory waves considered here are Tango waves, breathers and pulse generators. Tango waves, also known as oscillatory fronts, are characterized by a back-and-forth motion of a wavefront. Breathers, also known as oscillatory pulses, are characterized by an expanding and contracting motion of a pulse-shaped pattern. Pulse generators are breathers that periodically emit traveling pulses. These oscillatory waves are caused by the presence of either a timeindependent forcing or spatial variation in a model parameter. The main point of this thesis is that oscillatory fronts or pulses can be understood as emerging from the Hopf bifurcation of a stationary front or pulse, respectively. The secondary point of this thesis is to investigate secondary bifurcations connected to the Hopf bifurcation. Possible applications of oscillatory waves will also be discussed. Analytical and numerical methods are used to compute the equilibrium solutions and the spectrum of their linearizations for piecewise linear and cubic Fitzhugh-Nagumo models of excitable media. Combining this with numerical simulations allows us to link oscillatory waves with a Hopf bifurcation. A center manifold reduction allows us to also connect the oscillatory waves to a generalized Hopf bifurcation.

description: In this study, 17 hydrologists with different experience in hydrological modelling applied the same conceptual catchment model (HBV) to a Greek catchment, using identical data and model code. Calibration was performed manually. Subsequently, the modellers were asked for their experience, their calibration strategy, and whether they enjoyed the exercise. The exercise revealed that there is considerable modellers’ uncertainty even among the experienced modellers. It seemed to be equally important whether the modellers followed a good calibration strategy, and whether they enjoyed modelling. The exercise confirmed previous studies about the benefit of model ensembles: Different combinations of the simulation results (median, mean) outperformed the individual model simulations, while filtering the simulations even improved the quality of the model ensembles. Modellers’ experience, decisions, and attitude, therefore, have an impact on the hydrological model application and should be considered as part of hydrological modelling uncertainty.

description: We present new Period-Age (PA) and Period-Age-Color (PAC) relations for fundamental and first overtone classical Cepheids. Current predictions rely on homogeneous sets of evolutionary and pulsation models covering a broad range of stellar masses and chemical compositions. We found that PA and PAC relations present a mild dependence upon metal content. Moreover, the use of different PA and PAC relation for fundamental and first overtone Cepheids improves the accuracy of age estimates in the short-period (log P < 1) range (old Cepheids), because they present smaller intrinsic dispersions. At the same time, the use of the PAC relations improves the accuracy in the long-period (log P >= 1) range (young Cepheids), since they account for the position of individual objects inside the instability strip. We performed a detailed comparison between evolutionary and pulsation ages for a sizable sample of LMC (15) and SMC (12) clusters which host at least two Cepheids. In order to avoid deceptive uncertainties in the photometric absolute zero-point, we adopted the homogeneous set of B,V,I data for clusters and Cepheids collected by OGLE. We also adopted the same reddening scale. The different age estimates agree at the level of 20 % for LMC clusters and of 10 % for SMC clusters. We also performed the same comparison for two Galactic clusters (NGC6067, NGC7790) and the difference in age is smaller than 20 %. These findings support the use of PA and PAC relations to supply accurate estimates of individual stellar ages in the Galaxy and in external Galaxies. The main advantage of this approach is its independence from the distance.

description: We report an observation of magnetooscillations of the microwave power transmitted through the high mobility two-dimensional electron system hosted by a GaAs quantum well. The oscillations reflect an enhanced absorption of radiation at high harmonics of the cyclotron resonance and follow simultaneously measured microwave-induced resistance oscillations (MIRO) in the dc transport. While the relative amplitude (up to 1%) of the transmittance oscillations appears to be small, they represent a significant (>50%) modulation of the absorption coefficient. The analysis of obtained results demonstrates that the low-B decay, magnitude, and polarization dependence of the transmittance oscillations accurately follow the theory describing photon-assisted scattering between distant disorder-broadened Landau levels. The extracted sample parameters reasonably well describe the concurrently measured MIRO. Our results provide an insight into the MIRO polarization immunity problem and pave the way to probe diverse high-frequency transport properties of high-mobility systems using precise transmission measurements.

Cooperation in contention : the evolution of ASEAN norms

description: There are a number of methods commonly used to estimate metabolic rate in animals, one of which is the Heart Rate Method. Heart rate (f[sub H]) can theoretically be used as a direct proxy for O₂ consumption (V[sub O]) according to Fick's equation (V[sub O] = f[sub H] x O₂ pulse) as long as the O₂ pulse varies in a predictable manner. The benefit of this method is that heart rate is easily monitored both in the lab and in the field, is sensitive to short-term changes in activity, and can be monitored continuously on the order of weeks or months. Studies have confirmed that in some birds, mammals, and at least one species of reptile, the accuracy of this method is at least as great as that of the doubly-labelled water method. My goal was to determine if heart rate can be used as a reliable estimate of metabolic rate in tegu lizards. To this end, f[sub H] and V[sub O] were measured simultaneously in fasting lizards at 17°C, 27°C and 37°C, and in digesting lizards at 37°C. Regression analysis showed that, at any given temperature or digestive state, the relationship between f[sub H] and V[sub O] was highly variable between individuals (as indicated by different slopes and intercepts) as well as within individuals (as indicated by low r² values). Regression analysis on data pooled within each treatment failed to account for this variability. However, regression analysis of the dataset in its entirety accounted for 740/0 of the variability. The equation which best described the relationship in unstressed animals was lnsV[sub O] = —3.441 + 0.679 InF[sub R]. Predictions of total metabolic rate calculated from this general calibration equation were typically more accurate than predictions based on the Time Energy Budget method.

description: We study Ni80Fe20-based permalloys with the relativistic spin-polarized Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker electronic structure method. Treating the compositional disorder with the coherent potential approximation, we investigate how the magnetocrystalline anisotropy, K, and magnetostriction, lambda, of Ni-rich Ni-Fe alloys vary with the addition of small amounts of non-magnetic transition metals, Cu and Mo. From our calculations we follow the trends in K and lambda and find the compositions of Ni-Fe-Cu and Ni-Fe-Mo where both are near zero. These high permeability compositions of Ni-Fe-Cu and Ni-Fe-Mo match well with those discovered experimentally. We monitor the connection of the magnetic anisotropy with the number of minority spin electrons, Nmin. By raising Nmin via artificially increasing the band-filling of Ni80Fe20, we are able to reproduce the key features that underpin the magnetic softening we find in the ternary alloys. The effect of band-filling on the dependence of magnetocrystalline anisotropy on atomic short-range order in Ni80Fe20 is also studied. Our calculations, based on a static concentration wave theory, indicate that the susceptibility of the high permeability of the Ni-Fe-Cu and Ni-Fe-Mo alloys to their annealing conditions is also strongly dependent on the alloys' compositions. An ideal soft magnet appears from these calculations.
