description: The behavior of the quantum potential is studied for a particle in a linear and a harmonic potential by means of an extended phase space technique. This is done by obtaining an expression for the quantum potential in momentum space representation followed by the generalization of this concept to extended phase space. It is shown that there exists an extended canonical transformation that removes the expression for the quantum potential in the dynamical equation. The situation, mathematically, is similar to disappearance of the centrifugal potential in going from the spherical to the Cartesian coordinates that changes the physical potential to an effective one. The representation where the quantum potential disappears and the modified Hamilton-Jacobi equation reduces to the familiar classical form, is one in which the dynamical equation turns out to be the Wigner equation.

description: Ballast water from commercial ships engaged in international trade has been implicated as the primary invasion pathway in over 60 percent of new introductions of invasive alien species (IAS) in the Great Lakes since 1960. Recent policies have recognized that IAS are a form of biological pollution and have become focused on preventing new introductions. Given that emissions-based incentives are infeasible for the case of biological emissions, we investigate the cost-effectiveness of various performance proxy-based and technology-based economic incentives to reduce the threat of new invasions of Ponto-Caspian species in the Great Lakes.

description: The 6s-np_j (n=6-9) electric-dipole matrix elements and 6s-nd_j (n=5-7) electric-quadrupole matrix elements in Ba+ are calculated using the relativistic all-order method. The resulting values are used to evaluate ground state dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities. In addition, the electric-dipole 6p_j-5d_j' matrix elements and magnetic-dipole 5d_{5/2}-5d_{3/2} matrix element are calculated using the same method in order to determine the lifetimes of the 6p_{1/2}, 6p_{3/2}, 5d_{3/2}, and 5d_{5/2} levels. The accuracy of the 6s-5d_j matrix elements is investigated in detail in order to estimate the uncertainties in the quadrupole polarizability and 5d_j lifetime values. The lifetimes of the 5d states in Ba+ are extremely long making precise experiments very difficult. Our final results for dipole and quadrupole ground state polarizabilities are alpha_{E1} = 124.15 a^3_0 and alpha_{E2} = 4182(34) a^5_0, respectively. The resulting lifetime values are tau(6p_{1/2})=7.83 ns, tau(6p_{3/2})=6.27 ns, tau(5d_{3/2})=81.5(1.2) s, and tau(5d_{5/2})=30.3(4) s. The extensive comparison with other theoretical and experimental values is carried out for both lifetimes and polarizabilities.

High-resolution VLT/UVES spectra are used to measure the radial velocities of these systems with high accuracy. We show that the subsequent mass determination of the neutron stars in these systems is significantly improved and discuss the implications of this result.

Coherent $\rm{J/ψ}$ and $\rm{ψ'}$ photoproduction at midrapidity in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}~=~5.02$ TeV

description: The coherent photoproduction of $\rm{J/ψ}$ and $\rm{ψ'}$ mesons was measured in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}~=~5.02$ TeV with the ALICE detector. Charmonia are detected in the central rapidity region for events where the hadronic interactions are strongly suppressed. The $\rm{J/ψ}$ is reconstructed using the dilepton ($l^{+} l^{-}$) and proton-antiproton decay channels, while for the $\rm{ψ'}$, the dilepton and the $l^{+} l^{-} π^{+} π^{-}$ decay channels are studied. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 233 ${μb}^{-1}$. The results are compared with theoretical models for coherent $\rm{J/ψ}$ and $\rm{ψ'}$ photoproduction. The coherent cross section is found to be in a good agreement with models incorporating moderate nuclear gluon shadowing of about 0.65 at a Bjorken-$x$ of around $6\times 10^{-4}$, such as the EPS09 parametrization, however none of the models is able to fully describe the rapidity dependence of the coherent $\rm{J/ψ}$ cross section including ALICE measurements at forward rapidity. The ratio of $\rm{ψ'}$ to $\rm{J/ψ}$ coherent photoproduction cross sections was also measured and found to be consistent with the one for photoproduction off protons.

description: Deformed Special Relativity (DSR) is a generalization of Special Relativity based on a deformed Minkowski space, i.e. a four-dimensional space-time with metric coefficients depending on the energy. We show that, in the DSR framework, it is possible to derive the value of the electron mass from the space-time geometry via the experimental knowledge of the parameter of local Lorentz invariance breakdown, and of the Minkowskian threshold energy $E_{0,em}$ for the electromagnetic interaction.

description: We focus on rice policy reform required for Taiwan's admission to the WTO, and examine the effects, theoretically and empirically, of the re-instrumentation of domestic policy needed to achieve environmental objectives when both positive and negative environmental externalities exist. Policies that treat non-commodity attributes in agriculture as secondary to existing aims, such as income support, are unlikely to result in the desired supplies of environmental goods. Those supplies can be achieved at lower government and social costs using policy instruments to achieve environmental goals directly. Results are relatively insensitive to the social values assigned to environmental goods.

description: The rise of multi-messenger astronomy has brought with it the need to exploit all available data streams and learn more about the astrophysical objects that fall within its breadth. One possible avenue is the search for serendipitous optical/near-infrared counterparts of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and gravitational-wave (GW) signals, known as kilonovae. With surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), which observes the sky with a cadence of ~ three days, the existing counterpart locations are likely to be observed; however, due to the significant amount of sky to explore, it is difficult to search for these fast-evolving candidates. Thus, it is beneficial to optimize the survey cadence for realtime kilonova identification and enable further photometric and spectroscopic observations. We explore how the cadence of wide field-of-view surveys like ZTF can be improved to facilitate such identifications. We show that with improved observational choices, e.g., the adoption of three epochs per night on a ~ nightly basis, and the prioritization of redder photometric bands, detection efficiencies improve by about a factor of two relative to the nominal cadence. We also provide realistic hypothetical constraints on the kilonova rate as a form of comparison between strategies, assuming that no kilonovae are detected throughout the long-term execution of the respective observing plan. These results demonstrate how an optimal use of ZTF increases the likelihood of kilonova discovery independent of GWs or GRBs, thereby allowing for a sensitive search with less interruption of its nominal cadence through Target of Opportunity programs.

description: It has been hypothesized that differentially applied environmental regulations create pollution havens, as firms will choose to invest in countries with lax environmental standards. Using a theoretical model of pest control adoption and an empirical spatial equilibrium model, we examine one such environmental regulation, a U.S. ban on methyl bromide, to determine if an agricultural pollution haven will be created in Mexico. Alterations in agricultural production location, trade patterns, and methyl bromide use are determined. We find that, under the assumptions held, Mexico will not dramatically increase its use of methyl bromide following the ban. Sensitivity analysis to this result is conducted.
New estimate of the chromomagnetic dipole moment of quarks in the standard model

description: A new estimate of the one loop contributions of the standard model to the chromomagnetic dipole moment (CMDM) $\hat μ_q(q^2)$ of quarks is presented with the aim to address a few disagreements arising in previous calculations. We consider the most general case with an off-shell gluon with transfer momentum $q^2$ and obtain analytical results in terms of Feynman parameter integrals and Passarino-Veltman scalar functions, which are then expressed in terms of closed form functions when possible. The calculation is done via a renormalizable linear $R_ξ$ gauge and the background field method, which allows one to corroborate that the resulting $\hat μ_q(q^2)$ is gauge independent and thus a valid observable quantity. It is found that the QCD contribution from a three-gluon Feynman diagram has an infrared divergence, which agrees with a previous evaluation and stems from the fact that the static CMDM [$\hatμ(0)$] has no sense in perturbative QCD. For the numerical analysis we consider the region 30 GeV$
COCOA PRODUCTION PROSPECT IN TOGO

description: Cocoa has made an important contribution to economic development in Togo. Until recently, virtually all of Togo's exports were agriculture, mainly: cocoa and coffee. In 1961, phosphate exports began, and by 1965 became the leading export commodity. Even after the discovery and production of phosphate minerals, agriculture exports, however, continue to provide more than 30 percent of all foreign exchange and to employ about 75 percent of the active population. Cocoa and coffee represent 70 percent of agricultural exports and cocoa alone provided an average of 27 percent of recorded export earnings between 1966 and 1975. Since 1965, the agriculture sector has been accorded top priority in the national development plan. However, this proclamation has not been fully operationalized. For example, during the Third National Plan for Development (1976-1980), only 20 percent of the total planned investment was intended to finance agriculture. The main objectives in agricultural planning are: a) To increase the aggregate agricultural output, through intensification and diversification of food crops, along with rehabilitation and development of traditional export crops such as: cocoa, coffee, and cotton; b) To raise the level of income and the standard of living of farmers; and c) To create regional growth poles in the rural areas in order to reduce the prevailing rate of rural-urban migration. None of these objectives has been fulfilled. Many studies, however, have been carried out in the agriculture sector, and specific programs have been defined. Cocoa once again has received serious attention among export crops, in the hope that a boost in cocoa production will generate needed foreign exchange. Increasing the production of cocoa will not be easy because of serious problems affecting the industry.

description: Forecasting has been very important in decision making at all levels and sectors of the economy. In agriculture, where the decision environment is characterized by risks and uncertainty largely due to uncertain yields and relatively low price elasticities of demand of most commodities, decision makers require some information about the future and the likelihood of the possible future outcomes. Forecast information serves many users. Farmer's production and marketing decisions, for instance, are often based on some perspective of the likely pattern of price movements over the coming year. Likewise, production prospects for the season are used by market intermediaries in coordinating their resources. Outlook information about production and consumption are also important in developing government price support programs. Along with the variety of forecast users, there exists a wide range of available forecasting techniques. They range from a very simple trend extrapolation to a very complex system of structural equations and simulation models. Very often, these alternative approaches provide different forecasts of the same event. The forecast user, then must determine which of the set of forecasts to use, given his/her decision environment. After a choice has been made, the other forecasts are often discarded. This paper aims to test the hypothesis that forecast performance is proportional to the information contained in the forecasting method. This is carried out through the evaluation of a forecasting approach which is a combination of annual and quarterly ratio econometric models for cattle and hog prices. Such a combination is done to draw from the advantages of both annual models in estimating structural parameters and quarterly models which provide needed information for decision making.
DETERMINANTS OF MARKETED SURPLUS IN RURAL HOUSEHOLDS: TOWARD AN APPLIED RESEARCH AGENDA FROM AN AFRICAN POLICY PERSPECTIVE

description: African governments are increasingly interested in understanding factors affecting the marketing of staple food grains by rural households which produce partially for home consumption. Food security depends not only on aggregate production, but also the distribution of production by income group, social class and geographical area. The availability of food to nonagricultural producers and those who produce insufficient amounts to satisfy their subsistence requirements is influenced by the interaction of variables affecting the allocation of production between sales and other disposals, consumption, and storage. Grain which is added to disposals limits household consumption as well as security provided by on-farm stocks. At the same time, if sold, it adds to income, affecting both consumption and security. Marketed surplus, in conjunction with gifts and in kind exchanges, comprises the disposable or marketable surplus component of output. Understanding the behavior of marketed surplus and the variables affecting it can be of major importance in the development of sound policies with respect to agricultural marketing and prices, imports and exports, national reserves and overall rural and national development objectives. At the present time, many African governments are involved in or contemplating involvement in the marketing of staple food products. International organizations and agencies are investing increasing amounts of money in food security and agricultural development assistance schemes, arguing for the urgency of meeting "basic needs". An understanding of the determinants of marketed surplus is an essential element of effective planning and program design. This paper is an outgrowth of an attempt to estimate simple supply and demand functions for staple food grains in a West African county.

description: We determine exactly the short-distance leading behavior of the density correlation functions of a two-dimensional two-component charge-symmetric Coulomb gas composed of point particles, in the whole regime of stability where the coulombic coupling $β<2$. More generally, we compute the short-distance behavior of the effective interaction potential between two external arbitrary charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ immersed in the plasma, for $β|Q_1|<2$ and $β|Q_2|<2$. We also find the short-distance asymptotics of the density profiles near a single external charge $Q$ immersed in the plasma for $β|Q|<2$.

The energy spectrum (top-middle) indicated that the simulation is resolved.
QCD at Low Energies

description: The modern status of basic low energy QCD parameters is reviewed. It is demonstrated, that the recent data allows one to determine the light quark mass ratios with an accuracy 10-15%. The general analysis of vacuum condensates in QCD is presented, including those induced by external fields. The QCD coupling constant alpha_s is found from the tau-lepton hadronic decay rate. V-A spectral functions of tau-decay are used for construction of the V-A polarization operator Pi_{V-A}(s) in the complex s-plane. The operator product expansion (OPE) is used up to dimension D=10 and the sum rules along the rays in the complex s-plane are constructed. The best values of quark condensate and alpha_s<0|qq|0>^2 are found. The value of quark condensate is confirmed by considering the sum rules for baryon masses. Gluon condensate is found in four ways: by considering of V+A polarization operator based on the tau-decay data, by studying the sum rules for polarization operators momenta in charmonia in vector, pseudoscalar and axial channels. All of these determinations are in agreement and result in =0.005 \pm 0.004 GeV^4. Valence quark distributions in proton are calculated in QCD using the OPE in proton current virtuality. The quark distributions agree with those found from the deep inelastic scattering data. The same value of gluon condensate is favoured.

description: We study a model in 2+1 dimensions composed of a Fermi surface of $N_f$ flavors of fermions coupled to scalar fluctuations near quantum critical points (QCPs). The $N_f\rightarrow0$ limit allows us to non-perturbatively calculate the long-range behavior of fermion correlation functions. We use this to calculate charge, spin and pair susceptibilities near different QCPs at zero and finite temperatures, with zero and finite order parameter gaps. While fluctuations smear out the fermionic quasiparticles, we find QCPs where the overall effect of fluctuations leads to enhanced pairing. We also find QCPs where the fluctuations induce spin and charge density wave instabilities for a finite interval of order parameter fluctuation gaps at $T=0$. We restore a subset of the diagrams suppressed in the $N_f\rightarrow0$ limit, all diagrams with internal fermion loops with at most 2 vertices, and find that this does not change the long-range behavior of correlators except right at the QCPs.

description: Issue addressed: Hello Sunday Morning (HSM) is an online program that encourages people to commit to a period of non-drinking and blog about their experiences. Among a sample of Victorian HSM users, we aimed to explore the barriers faced and the strategies adopted to maximise potential for achieving temporary abstinence. Methods: A content analysis of blog data from 154 HSM users (a total of 2844 blog posts) was undertaken by three researchers. Participants were predominantly women aged 30-50 years. Results: The most common barriers to achieving temporary alcohol abstinence reported by participants were stress and tiredness, pervasiveness of drinking in social life, negative effects from not drinking and negative reactions from others. The strategies most commonly implemented included drawing on HSM and other non-drinking networks, self-talk, engaging in non-alcohol-related activities and substituting alcohol with other drinks. Conclusions: Although significant individual and systemic barriers to abstaining from alcohol were identified by HSM users, multiple strategies were identified and effectively utilised to overcome these barriers. So what?: We suggest that the virtual support from an online community with a shared interest in reducing their alcohol use appears to be a useful health promotion strategy for temporarily reducing consumption, particularly for women.

description: An era has come when the most ancient industry, namely, agriculture is beginning to be transformed in the underdeveloped countries of the world. Changes are taking different directions in different places with different rates of growth. However, the "traditional agriculture" characterized by age old techniques of production is not a myth of the past. There are vast agricultural areas, where even though modernization has started, the rate of growth of agriculture is not fast enough to wipe away some of the basic characteristics of "traditional agriculture." The present study is an exploration of resource allocation in traditional agriculture and employs linear programming techniques to answer the following questions: (1) How far do we find conformity between actual resource allocation and optimal resource allocation given the constraints under which the traditional agriculture is operating at a particular point of time? (2) Which inputs act a limiting factors under the existing resource availabilities? (3) How fully are all resources presently engaged in farming activities or remaining on farm utilized, assuming that the farms are trying to maximize return to fixed resources, through crop production activities? (4) What is the time distribution of the surplus resources? Is it essentially seasonal or permanent in nature? (5) Whether part of the resources presently engaged in farming activities can be removed without affecting the level of agricultural production? The focus of attention of the present model is primarily on the crop production activities though some other activities have been included in the model, depending on their impact on crop production activities within a single production period. The purpose in view is to examine the nature of resource allocation and resource utilization for a single production period, assuming that crop production is the main activity of the farms and resources currently available for such activities are essentially constant.

description: Project evaluation or project appraisal has experienced a growing interest from both scholars and practitioners in recent years, particularly after the Second World War. This is attributed by Prest and Turvey to the growth of large investment projects and to the expanding role of government in the economic life of most countries. Still more important is the increased interest in planning in developing countries, and the role played by the international financing institutions such as the Interamerican Development Bank, the World Bank, USAID, etc. These agencies, particularly the first two, have had a major impact on the advancement of applied work on project appraisal. Several approaches to project appraisal have been developed from the activities of these agencies, Universities, and particularly water projects in the U.S. It started with cost benefit analysis using market prices; then shadow prices were introduced always with the purpose to maximize the GDP. Lately a distribution or equity objective has been included along with other government objectives. Therefore attempts have been made to develop methodologies that would include these other objectives as well as the growth of GDP. The purpose of the paper is to introduce the basic concepts behind each approach in order to better understand their differences and similarities as well as their practicability.

description: We present a multicolour catalogue of faint galaxies situated close to bright stars, V<15, with the aim of identifying high-redshift galaxies suitable for study with adaptive optics-equipped near-infrared imagers and spectrographs. The catalogue is constructed from archival calibration observations of UKIRT Faint Standard stars with the UFTI camera on UKIRT. We have analysed the deepest 16 fields from the archive to provide a catalogue of galaxies brighter than K~20.3 lying within 25" of the guide stars. We identify 111 objects in a total survey area of 8.7 sq. arcmin, of these 87 are classified as galaxies based on their light profiles in our ~0.5" median seeing K-band images. Of these, 12 galaxies have (J-K)>2.0 consistent with them lying at high-redshifts, z~2. These 12 very red galaxies have K-band magnitudes of K=18.1-20.1 and separations from the guide stars of 4-20" and hence are very well-suited to adaptive optics studies to investigate their morphologies and spectral properties on sub-kpc scales. We provide coordinates and JHK photometry for all catalogued objects.

Mapping the care domain : conceptualization, assessment, and relation to eating disorders

description: The purpose of this dissertation was to undertake a conceptualization and empirical "mapping" of the ethic-of-care domain - often characterized as self-referential and lacking in rigor. The current focus is upon conventional forms of care, involving notions of moral "goodness" as self-silencing and -sacrificial. Employing a "super" circumplex as a prescriptive and descriptive tool, projected item analyses were undertaken as a theoretico-structural clarification of existing scale items, along with a provisional pool of additional items generated as part of Study 1. Based in part on proposed circular criteria, the Conventional Care Scales (CCS) were developed and submitted to a conjoint principal components analysis along with the battery of other care/dependency scale items. An examination of item circular distributions, factor loadings, alpha-contribution plots, and thematic content revealed several factors expressive of two "faces" of conventional care, submissive and ingenuous. These two forms were shown to have unique correlates with measures of adjustment, interpersonal competencies, other factors of the Five-Factor Model, false-self beliefs, and reported distress in narrated accounts of rejected care giving. Gender differences in the association between indices of adjustment and conventional care were also found. The range of conventional care was also extended through the development of scales reflecting other-directed and socially prescribed dimensions of conventional care. The factor structure for the CSS was also replicated in a second sample (Study 2). Participants for Studies 1 and 2 were composed of undergraduate students (N = 302 in both samples) who completed a battery of questionnaires in the first study and the CCS alone in the second study. Anticipating future clinical directions, secondary analyses using structural equation modelling were conducted on an existing data set (N = 92) which included measures of conventional care and perfectionism, along with indices of psychological adjustment and eating disordered attitudes. Results indicated that conventional care, for which there is little research, was more predictive of adjustment and eating disordered attitudes than perfectionism, for which there exists a large clinical literature. This research contributes to an understanding of ways in which an ethic of care can "go awry," as well as proposes a research platform upon which the clinical implications of morality and self-ideals can be investigated. These findings speak to both the constraints and prescriptions that can inform a philosophical ethic of care.

description: We develop a multicomponent lattice Boltzmann (LB) model for the 2D Rayleigh--Taylor turbulence with a Shan-Chen pseudopotential implemented on GPUs. In the immiscible case this method is able to accurately overcome the inherent numerical complexity caused by the complicated structure of the interface that appears in the fully developed turbulent regime. Accuracy of the LB model is tested both for early and late stages of instability. For the developed turbulent motion we analyze the balance between different terms describing variations of the kinetic and potential energies. Then, we analyze the role of interface in the energy balance, and also the effects of the vorticity induced by the interface in the energy dissipation. Statistical properties are compared for miscible and immiscible flows. Our results can also be considered as a first validation step to extend the application of LB model to 3D immiscible Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence.

description: The "Green Europe" was created in 1967 in order to integrate the agricultural economy of the Member Countries. For the dairy market, the Community implemented programs aimed at ensure good supply of dairy products, reasonable revenue to dairy producers, and occupation of some less favored areas. The subsidizing and public storage program for dairy products (milk powder and butter) led to surplus production. The cost of such a policy became unacceptable for Community Members. In 1984, the Minister of Agriculture Council decided to implement a quota program on milk production coupled with strong cessation schemes in order to reduce milk production and improve efficiency of dairy farms. This program led to a 25% reduction in number of dairy farms, a 8% reduction in milk production and improved average productivity of dairy cows. The cost of the dairy policy decreased 20%, including cost for supply and demand management of the dairy sector. Public intervention on the dairy market became unnecessary and revenue of dairy producers improved. Social goals, placed at a high priority level have been fulfilled.

description: Nanostructures have become an attractive subject due to many applications, particularly the photonic bandgap effect observed in photonic crystals. Nevertheless, the fabrication of such structures remains a challenge because of accurate requirement concerning regularity, shape, hole depth etc. of the structure. E-beam lithography permits a good control of dimensional parameters but needs a 1-step fabrication process. In our work, we have to combine traditional strip-load waveguides (SiO2/SiON/SiO2 on Si) and nanostructures whose dimension are totally different. This imposes a 2-step process where waveguides and nanostructures are successively fabricated. We have at our disposal different ways to characterize these nanostructures. A direct aspect control during and after FIB treatment can be achieved by FIB and SEM imaging. Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) is currently the most effective way to test guiding confinement in such surface structures by detecting the evanescent field.

description: We build string backgrounds for Yang-Baxter deformations of the $AdS_4\times\mathbb{CP}^3$ superstring generated by $r$-matrices satisfying the classical Yang-Baxter equation. We obtain the metric and the NS-NS two-form of the gravity dual corresponding to noncommutative and dipole deformations of ABJM theory, as well as a deformed background with Schrödinger symmetry. The first two backgrounds may also be found by TsT transformations while for the last background we get a new family of non-relativistic ABJM theories with Schrödinger symmetry.
