description: We present a study of the upper critical field of the newly discovered heavy fermion superconductor UTe$_2$ by magnetoresistivity measurements in pulsed magnetic fields up to 60~T and static magnetic fields up to 35~T. We show that superconductivity survives up to the metamagnetic transition at $H_{\rm m} \approx 35$~T at low temperature. Above $H_{\rm m}$ superconductivity is suppressed. At higher temperature superconductivity is enhanced under magnetic field leading to reentrance of superconductivity or an almost temperature independent increase of $H_{\rm c2}$. By studying the angular dependence of the upper critical field close to the $b$ axis (hard magnetization axis) we show that the maximum of the reentrant superconductivity temperature is depinned from the metamagnetic field. A key ingredient for the field-reinforcement of superconductivity on approaching $H_{\rm m}$ appears to be an immediate interplay with magnetic fluctuations and a possible Fermi-surface reconstruction.

Sleptonarium (Constraints on the CP and Flavour Pattern of Scalar Lepton Masses)
Creators: name: Masina, I.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The constraints on the flavour and CP structure of scalar lepton mass matrices are systematically collected. The display of the resulting upper bounds on the lepton -slepton misalignment parameters is designed for an easy inspection of very large classes of models and the formula are arranged so as to suggest useful approximations. Interferences among the different contributions to lepton flavour violating transitions and lepton electric and magnetic dipole moments of generic character can either tighten or loose the bounds. A combined analysis of all rare leptonic transitions can disentangle the different contributions to yield hints on several phenomenological issues. The possible impact of these results on the study of the slepton misalignment originated in the seesaw mechanism and grand-unified theories is emphasized since the planned experiments are getting close to the precision required in such tests.

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Simple cosmological models are used to show that gravitation can be quantized as an ordinary gauge system if the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the model under consideration is separable. In this situation, a canonical transformation can be performed such that in terms of the new variables the model has a linear and homogeneous constraint, and therefore canonical gauges are admissible in the path integral. This has the additional practical advantage that gauge conditions that do not generate Gribov copies are then easy to choose.

description: Forest managers in developing countries enforce extraction restrictions to limit forest degradation. In response, villagers may displace some of their extraction to other forests, which generates “leakage” of degradation. Managers also implement poverty alleviation projects to compensate for lost resource access or to induce conservation. We develop a model of spatial joint production of bees and fuelwood that is based on forest-compatible projects such as beekeeping in Thailand, Tanzania, and Mexico. We demonstrate that managers can better determine the amount and pattern of degradation by choosing the location of both enforcement and the forest-based activity.

description: We investigate the power-law tails in the evolution of a charged massless scalar field around a fixed background of a dilaton black hole. Using both analytical and numerical methods we find the inverse power-law relaxation of charged fields at future timelike infinity, future null infinity, and along the outer horizon of the considered black hole. We invisage that a charged hair decays slower than neutral ones. The oscillatory inverse power law along the outer horizon of the dilaton black hole is of a great importance for a mass inflation scenario along the Cauchy horizon of a dynamically formed dilaton black hole.

description: This paper extends first-best analysis of anti-sprawl policies, such as development taxes, and examines the welfare effects of development taxes in the presence of urban decline at the city core. We find that anti-sprawl policies generate several important feedbacks within the urban system, generating additional welfare gains and affecting the level of urban decline and suburban sprawl. Further, the optimal development tax exceeds the (first-best) Pigouvian level, irrespective of whether or not revenues are returned lump-sum to all landowners or earmarked for urban decline mitigation.

Regularization parameters for the self force in Schwarzschild spacetime: I. scalar case

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We derive the explicit values of all regularization parameters (RP) for a scalar particle in an arbitrary geodesic orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole. These RP are required within the previously introduced mode-sum method, for calculating the local self-force acting on the particle. In this method one first calculates the (finite) contribution to the self-force due to each individual multipole mode of the particle's field, and then applies a certain regularization procedure to the mode sum, involving the RP. The explicit values of the RP were presented in a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 88}, 091101 (2002)]. Here we give full details of the RP derivation in the scalar case. The calculation of the RP in the electromagnetic and gravitational cases will be discussed in an accompanying paper.

description: The next generation of high-energy physics experiments is expected to gather prodigious amounts of data. New methods must be developed to handle this data and make analysis at universities possible. We examine some techniques that use recent developments in commodity hardware. We test redundant arrays of integrated drive electronics (IDE) disk drives for use in offline high-energy physics data analysis. IDE redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID) prices now equal the cost per terabyte of million-dollar tape robots! The arrays can be scaled to sizes affordable to institutions without robots and used when fast random access at low cost is important. We also explore three methods of moving data between sites; internet transfers, hot pluggable IDE disks in FireWire cases, and writable digital video disks (DVD-R).

We show that although these scenarios can lead to acceleration, they run into serious difficulty when taking into account limits on the time variation of the four dimensional Newton's constant. On the other hand, models of ``Cardassian'' expansion based on extra dimensions which have been constructed so far violate the weak energy condition for the bulk stress energy, for parameters that give an accelerating universe.

description: The emergence of Australia as an industrialised nation has meant that like every other western country with a similar economic base, 1 has a "farm problem" This arises from the disparity between the average income per head of working population in the economy as a whole, and the lower average income of operators in agriculture (Heady and Ackerman, 1958; Higgs, 1966; Hannan, 1970J The main cause of this imbalance is the slow growth of markets for farm products as real incomes in the economy rise (Shannon, 1955; Samuelson, Hancock and Wallace, 1970; James, 197l).

description: Policymakers in the Brazilian Amazon face the challenge of meeting environmental and developmental goals as cities and towns within these tropical forests continue to face migration pressure. Alternative government planning strategies have been implemented to address forest clearing in conjunction with meeting social agendas. This paper uses panel estimation methods to investigate the impact of settlement design on land use. Results indicate that new settlement designs developed to further social interaction have had a negative impact on land cover and land use transformation. Thus, while new settlement designs appear to positively impact stated social goals, including greater contact between families and access to water and services, these social advances have come at the expense of environmental goals.

description: The distribution of commodity-related payments and Federal crop insurance indemnities to U.S. farmers has shifted to larger farms as more and more U.S. agricultural production is done on those farms. Since the operators of larger farms tend to have higher household incomes than other farm operators, commodity-related program payments and Federal crop insurance indemnities also have shifted to higher income households. By 2009, half of commodity-related program payments went to farms operated by households earning over $89,540, a quarter went to farms operated by households with incomes greater than $209,000 and 10 percent went to farms operated by households with incomes of at least $425,000. Current income eligibility caps and payment limits affect few farm households because most of them have incomes below the income caps or receive payments less than the payment limits. Based on 2009 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) data, recent proposals to lower those income caps and payment limits would still affect only a small percentage of U.S. farm households, because their incomes would still fall below the proposed income caps and payment limits. Total Government program payments to U.S. farms were $12.3 billion in 2009. Total Federal crop insurance indemnity payments were $5.2 billion in 2009.

description: Homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models whose Hamilton-Jacobi equation is separable are deparametrized by turning their action functional into that of an ordinary gauge system. Canonical gauge conditions imposed on the gauge system are used to define a global phase time in terms of the canonical coordinates and momenta of the minisuperspaces. The procedure clearly shows how the geometry of the constraint surface restricts the choice of time; the consequences that this has on the path integral quantization are discussed.

We start by demonstrating that the determination of the gauge boson self-couplings from electroweak diboson production at LHC is robust under the inclusion of those quark dipole operators even when let them totally unconstrained in the analysis. Conversely, we determine the bounds that the diboson data imposes on the light-quark dipole couplings and show that they represent a significant improvement over the limits arising from Z and W electroweak precision measurements. We also explore the sensitivity of the Drell-Yan cross section determination at LHC Run 1, and the results on resonance searches in high invariant-mass lepton pair production at Run 2 to further constrain the electroweak dipole couplings of the light quarks.

Economies of scale and economic efficiency among the co-operative coffee factories of Kirinyaga District, Central Kenya
Creators: name: Kariuki, Mathu Samuel
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1974
Subjects: subject: Coffee Kenya
subject: Agriculture, Cooperative Kenya

description: The Kenya Government expects the co-operative movement to play an extremely important role in agricultural development. But in spite of this expectation, the co-operative movement in Kenya has been faced by management problems, including corruption and misappropriation of funds, and by inefficiencies arising from the diseconomies of small-scale. This study is mainly concerned with the latter problem, particularly as it affects the co-operative coffee factories of Kirinyaga district. Central Kenya. The study hypothesizes that the members of a co-operative coffee factory are better off by belonging to a large co-operative coffee factory than a smaller one. Hence, the members would be ill advised to disintegrate the co-operative processing system further by setting up individual processing facilities operating at very low throughput levels. Substantial benefits of both external and internal economies of scale accrue to the co-operative coffee factories as a result of increased volume of output of the societies, the KDCU and the factories themselves. Through economic analysis of costs, coffee quality, members' returns and size of factory, the optimum level of operation of a two disc co-operative coffee factory is found to be about 65 tonnes of clean coffee. This is smaller than the 80 tonnes suggested as the optimum capacity by the Ministry of Agriculture. But even then, only one out of the 36 factories studied operated at this lower level in 1969-70. At optimal level of operation, only 28 factories would have been required to process the 1969-70 crop. For all the factories (44) to operate optimally, the district clean coffee average yield would need to be increased from the level of about .4 tonnes (in 1969-70) to .7 tonnes per hectare. By national standards this is still a "low" yield. In order to increase yields, and hence the factory throughput, it is vital to have the co-operation of members. Society employees should be given an incentive to produce the high quality coffee that fetches substantially higher prices. If the higher prices are reflected in higher members' returns it will be an effective incentive for the members to increase their yields. As a result factories will operate closer to the optimum and the benefits of economies of scale will increase members' returns further. New factories, too, will be constructed once the average yield exceeds .70 tonnes of clean coffee per hectare. As a result of intensification of coffee farming and construction of new factories, new employment opportunities in the rural areas will arise and this will help to ease the severe unemployment and underemployment problems facing Kenya at present.

This discloses the physical meaning of the deformation parameter $q$ which turns out to be related to the gravitational field. The thermal properties are re-obtained in this formalism, and the application to Schwarzschild and Rindler space-times are carried out.

description: Meeting growing global demand for food, fiber, and biofuel requires robust investment in agricultural research and development (R&D) from both public and private sectors. This study examines global R&D spending by private industry in seven agricultural input sectors, food manufacturing, and biofuel and describes the changing structure of these industries. In 2007 (the latest year for which comprehensive estimates are available), the private sector spent $19.7 billion on food and agricultural research (56 percent in food manufacturing and 44 percent in agricultural input sectors) and accounted for about half of total public and private spending on food and agricultural R&D in high-income countries. In R&D related to biofuel, annual private-sector investments are estimated to have reached $1.47 billion worldwide by 2009. Incentives to invest in R&D are influenced by market structure and other factors. Agricultural input industries have undergone significant structural change over the past two decades, with industry concentration on the rise. A relatively small number of large, multinational firms with global R&D and marketing networks account for most R&D in each input industry. Rising market concentration has not generally been associated with increased R&D investment as a percentage of industry sales.

description: In a recently proposed scenario, where the dilaton decouples while cosmologically attracted towards infinite bare string coupling, its residual interactions can be related to the amplitude of density fluctuations generated during inflation, and are large enough to be detectable through a modest improvement on present tests of free-fall universality. Provided it has significant couplings to either dark matter or dark energy, a runaway dilaton can also induce time-variations of the natural "constants" within the reach of near-future experiments.

description: The availability of enabling institutions, information systems and infrastructure is a precondition to enhance agricultural markets’ efficiency, and make market actors less vulnerable to price instability. This paper investigates whether the focus on institutional and technological upgrading is enough to make Ethiopian agricultural markets more efficient. In particular, given that a requirement for exchange efficiency is the lack of unexploited mutually beneficial spatial arbitrage opportunities, we look for evidence of increasing returns to transaction size and returns to scale in transport using detailed trader surveys collected in 2001 and 2007. Whilst transport costs could be reduced by assembling loads and avoiding trans-shipments for the transporters, we find no evidence that transport and handling costs are a source of increasing returns to transaction size. Hence, the presence of many small market intermediaries is not a source of inefficiency in Ethiopia, and concentration in market intermediation is not necessary for social efficiency.

subject: FOS: Law

description: The article discusses the teaching of agroecology from the perspective of education and environmental awareness based on the Federal Constitution of 1988 (CF / 88), specifically in art. 225. It takes as its starting point the critique of the anthropocentric paradigm, which, among other things, treats nature as a 'resource to be explored'. In the first part, we seek a contextualization and analysis of the concept of agroecology and the characterization of socioenvironmental aspects. Then, an analysis of the regulation on agroecology is performed, based on CF / 88, Federal Decree No. 7,794 / 2012, which establishes the National Policy on Agroecology and Organic Production, and Federal Law No. 10,831 / 2003, which provides about organic farming. The third part discusses the teaching of agroecology, inserted in a conception of education and environmental awareness, from the approach of the ecology of knowledge as an epistemological perspective, and from the critique of the anthropocentric paradigm, whose characteristics are present in the constitutional text and whose overcoming is. necessary for the implementation of the provisions of art. 225, §1, VI, of CF / 88.

description: The livestock industry in China has undergone massive changes since the liberalisation of markets started in 1985. The beef sector is no exception to this transition with production and consumption increasing faster than all other meats in the last two decades. The number of cattle has nearly doubled since 1980 to be around 141.6 million in 2005 and beef production has increased at a much faster rate than the cattle inventory. As the third largest beef producing country in the world, China exports and imports beef cattle. The emerging Chinese market has generally been seen as an opportunity for the Australian red meat industry. However, given the rate of increase in output, China may also provide a threat. With this in mind, understanding the current beef cattle industry situation in China is of great importance. The central objective of this paper is to evaluate the economic returns on China’s beef cattle operations and to analyse their implications for beef cattle industry development. In this paper, three beef cattle production systems are compared and examined across three geographical regions. Statistical methods are employed to evaluate these production practices. The results reveal the shifting balance between demand and supply in China and shed light on China’s trade behaviour. Possible opportunities for Australian beef industry participants to explore the Chinese market are also discussed.

description: The national Lifetime Wool project has quantified the production benefits that accrue to a breeding flock of Merino ewes from actively managing their fat score at critical stages of the reproductive cycle. The GrassGro™ model was used to simulate the profitability of achieving three fat score targets (i.e. FS2.5, FS3-4% lambing and FS3-10% lambing) for a predominately grazing region (Yass) of NSW and a sheep/cereal region (Parkes). In both regions the FS3-10% flock had the highest gross margin but was also the riskiest option in terms of the variation in gross margin during the simulation period. In all cases the key driver of gross margin was the amount (and therefore cost) of supplement required to meet the fat score targets which highlights the importance of meeting the fat score targets using pasture and matching the breeding cycle to pasture availability. Merino producers can use this information to make informed decisions regarding whether or not to feed in dry years.

AbstractAn enteral suspension (ES)/intestinal gel formulation of levodopa/carbidopa (hereafter referred to as levodopa/carbidopa ES) [Duodopa® (EU); Duopa™ (USA)] has been developed to overcome the fluctuating plasma levodopa concentrations associated with oral levodopa/carbidopa formulations. In various countries, including those of the EU (under the Mutual Recognition Procedure), it is approved for the treatment of advanced levodopa-responsive Parkinson’s disease (PD) with severe motor fluctuations and hyperkinesia or dyskinesia when available combinations of Parkinson medicinal products have not given satisfactory results. In several other countries, including the USA, it is approved for the treatment of motor fluctuations in patients with advanced PD. In adults with advanced PD, levodopa/carbidopa ES improved motor fluctuations, activities of daily living and health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) during short-term (12-week) treatment, with the beneficial effects on motor fluctuations largely sustained over the longer term (up to 7 years). Levodopa/carbidopa ES was generally well tolerated in this patient population, with adverse events (AEs) associated with aging, advanced PD-related comorbidities, the procedure/device or dopaminergic therapy. Its safety profile was comparable to that of oral levodopa/carbidopa with respect to non-procedure/device-associated AEs; most procedure/device-associated AEs were consistent in nature and incidence with medically recognised complications of the procedure in non-PD patients. Current evidence indicates that levodopa/carbidopa ES is an effective and generally well tolerated option for the treatment of motor fluctuations in patients with levodopa-responsive advanced PD who are not being effectively managed with non-invasive therapies.

description: We present measurements of the near-infrared brightness of Io's hot spots derived from 2-5 micron imaging with adaptive optics on the Keck and Gemini N telescopes. The data were obtained on 271 nights between August 2013 and the end of 2018, and include nearly 1000 detections of over 75 unique hot spots. The 100 observations obtained between 2013 and 2015 have been previously published in de Kleer and de Pater (2016a); the observations since the start of 2016 are presented here for the first time, and the analysis is updated to include the full five-year dataset. These data provide insight into the global properties of Io's volcanism. Several new hot spots and bright eruptions have been detected, and the preference for bright eruptions to occur on Io's trailing hemisphere noted in the 2013-2015 data (de Kleer and de Pater 2016a) is strengthened by the larger dataset and remains unexplained. The program overlapped in time with Sprint-A/EXCEED and Juno observations of the jovian system, and correlations with transient phenomena seen in other components of the system have the potential to inform our understanding of the impact of Io's volcanism on Jupiter and its neutral/plasma environment.

description: It is argued in this paper that static approaches to weed management, where the benefits and costs are only considered within a single season, are inappropriate for assessing the economic benefits of weed control technologies. There are carryover effects from weed management as weeds that escape control in one season may reproduce and replenish weed populations in following seasons. Consequently, it is appropriate to view weed control in the context of a resource management problem where the goal is to determine the optimal inter-temporal level of weed control that maximises economic benefits over some pre-determined period of time. A dynamic optimisation model for weed control is presented. Using the tools of comparative static analysis and Pontryagin's maximum principle, the conditions for optimal input use (ie weed control) are compared for static and dynamic situations. It is shown that a higher level of input use for a given weed population is optimal using a dynamic framework than would be derived under a static framework. The analysis is further extended by the incorporation of uncertainty and shows that the optimal level of weed control is also affected by uncertainty in herbicide efficacy and the survival of weed seeds produced. A case study of the optimal long-term management under deterministic and stochastic conditions of an annual cropping weed, Avena fatua, is presented.
