description: Neural cryptography is based on synchronization of tree parity machines by mutual learning. We extend previous key-exchange protocols by replacing random inputs with queries depending on the current state of the neural networks. The probability of a successful attack is calculated for different model parameters using numerical simulations. The results show that queries restore the security against cooperating attackers. The success probability can be reduced without increasing the average synchronization time.

description: This study has been undertaken with the twin objectives of examining the variability pattern of market arrivals and prices of selected vegetable crops (cabbage, cauliflower, tomato and peas) in metropolitan markets of Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata and analysing the relationship between market arrivals and prices. The study is based on market arrivals and wholesale prices of different vegetable crops collected from the Azadpur market of Delhi and Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), New Delhi, for the period 1990-2001. The study has shown that the extent of variability in the arrivals of cabbage was lower in Bangalore and higher in Mumbai. The prices were relatively stable in Mumbai but were more volatile in Bangalore. There was broadly a similar pattern in the price variability across different months in Kolkata and Delhi markets. For cauliflower, the variability in the market arrivals was more pronounced in Kolkata than the remaining three markets. The price variability was, however, more marked in Delhi. The extent of variability in the market arrivals of tomato across different months was very high in all the four markets. Likewise, while the maximum variability in the prices of peas was noted for Delhi, these were relatively less marked in Bangalore. The results of the study have confirmed the negative relationship between market arrivals and prices in terms of correlation coefficients over the years and across months in all the four metropolitan markets, though there were several instances of positive relationship.

description: Attempts are being made to export potatoes from India since 1970s but the quantities exported have been negligible and variable in spite of the fact that Indian potatoes are technically excellent and moderately export competitive. With the liberalization of Indian economy and establishment of WTO it was expected that the WTO regime would increase the price level in the international market due to implementation of proposed heavy cut in agricultural subsidies by the developed countries and hence the export of potatoes from India may get a boost. Under this backdrop, the study has ascertained the effect of establishment of WTO on export of potatoes from India. The study has indicated a declining export competitiveness of Indian potatoes in the post-WTO era, which requires immediate attention of policymakers as well as researchers in India to improve the export competitiveness by increasing the productivity and decreasing the cost of production. A need has been emphasized on giving some export incentives and easing some of the major infrastructural bottlenecks. Frozen-potatoes export from India had depicted competitiveness in the post-WTO era which can be encouraged to capture the fast expanding market of the product. The potato export from India can be made stable by either encouraging big export houses in the potato export or establishing a “Potato Board” to look into various aspects of potato export from the country.

description: This paper presents research uncovering systematic gender bias in the representation of political leaders in the media, using artificial intelligence. Newspaper coverage of Irish ministers over a fifteen year period was gathered and analysed with natural language processing techniques and machine learning. Findings demonstrate evidence of gender bias in the portrayal of female politicians, the kind of policies they were associated with and how they were evaluated in terms of their performance as political leaders. This paper also sets out a methodology whereby media content may be analysed on a large scale utilising techniques from artificial intelligence within a theoretical framework founded in gender theory and feminist linguistics.

description: The state of Madhya Pradesh is one of the traditional maize growing states, accounting for 13 per cent of the total maize area and contributing equally to the total maize production in the country. However, its productivity when compared to other maize growing states is very low. The study has found that even though a majority of the farmers cultivate improved maize cultivars, the overall technology adoption by them is poor. This may be due to the inability of a majority of farmers to follow the recommended package of practices for the improved cultivars because of the high costs involved in their adoption and lack of infrastructural facilities. Therefore, steps need to be initiated to solve this problem. A comparison of costs on cultivation of traditional, composite and hybrid cultivars has revealed that the cost increases significantly on using the improved cultivars due to higher requirements of fertilizers, irrigation, and plant protection chemicals as compared to those in the traditional varieties. However, with the significant increase in yield, the unit cost of production has been much lower in the case of improved cultivars. The economics of cultivation of maize when compared with its competing crops like paddy and soybean have revealed that the paddy is superior to all the maize cultivars in output/input ratio. The hybrid maize has been found superior to soybean as well as paddy in terms of net returns and hence the farmers could cultivate maize rather than paddy since the latter has higher water requirement. The estimation of technical efficiency of the farmers has revealed that on an average the sample farms operate 23 per cent below the frontier output levels. Hence, it has been observed that the maize output can be increased through adoption of proper technology by the farmers. It requires support from both the state government (in terms of providing infrastructural/ institutional support like drying and storage facilities, arrangement for assured procurement, etc.) as well as the private companies (in terms of supply of quality seeds and chemical pesticides at reasonable prices).

description: Growth rates are widely employed in the field of agriculture as these have important policy implications. The usual parametric approach for growth rate analysis is to assume multiplicative error in the underlying nonlinear geometric model and then fit the linearized model by ‘method of least squares’. The deficiencies of this approach have been highlighted. It has been argued that nonlinear estimation procedures should be employed for fitting the model and then only the growth rates should be computed. A methodology has been discussed to compute the compound growth rate by using growth models, viz. monomolecular, logistic and Gompertz. Further, as an illustration, the total foodgrain production of our country during the period 1980 to 2001 has been considered and its growth rate has been computed.

Taking an ansatz which separates the scalar field into the 4D and the extra-D part, we find that the static-hedgehog configuration is accomplished and the defects are formed only in the $AdS_4/AdS_5$ background. In the extra dimension, the localization amplitude for the 4D defects is high where the warp factor is high.

description: Legal nature of forestry carbon sequestration transaction in China is introduced. Forestry carbon sequestration transaction is a kind of formal, bilateral, consensual and compensatory legal behavior following the principle of autonomy and having the nature of contract. Legal regulation of forestry carbon sequestration transaction is necessary for making and using demonstration text of contract, distributing the subject right and responsibility of forestry carbon sequestration transaction, offering references for environmental protection and other fields, and developing the voluntary market of forestry carbon sequestration. Based on this, construction of legal system of forestry carbon sequestration transaction is discussed from nine aspects, such as determining the subject, object and the third party in legal relationship of forestry carbon sequestration transaction, making clear the benefit distribution of subjects, and determining the effective element of legal behavior, the transaction price, the performing mode of transaction, the benefit distribution of subjects, the mode of bearing legal responsibility, and the trade dispute settlement means.

description: We consider the task of breaking down a quantum computation given as an isometry into C-NOTs and single-qubit gates, while keeping the number of C-NOT gates small. Although several decompositions are known for general isometries, here we focus on a method based on Householder reflections that adapts well in the case of sparse isometries. We show how to use this method to decompose an arbitrary isometry before illustrating that the method can lead to significant improvements in the case of sparse isometries. We also discuss the classical complexity of this method and illustrate its effectiveness in the case of sparse state preparation by applying it to randomly chosen sparse states.

description: Homeostasis refers to a phenomenon whereby the output $x_o$ of a system is approximately constant on variation of an input $\mathcal{I}$. Homeostasis occurs frequently in biochemical networks and in other networks of interacting elements where mathematical models are based on differential equations associated to the network. These networks can be abstracted as digraphs $\mathcal{G}$ with a distinguished input node $ι$, a different distinguished output node $o$, and a number of regulatory nodes $ρ_1,\ldots,ρ_n$. In these models the input-output map $x_o(\mathcal{I})$ is defined by a stable equilibrium $X_0$ at $\mathcal{I}_0$. Stability implies that there is a stable equilibrium $X(\mathcal{I})$ for each $\mathcal{I}$ near $\mathcal{I}_0$ and infinitesimal homeostasis occurs at $\mathcal{I}_0$ when $(dx_o/d\mathcal{I})(\mathcal{I}_0) = 0$. We show that there is an $(n+1)\times(n+1)$ homeostasis matrix $H(\mathcal{I})$ for which $dx_o/d\mathcal{I} = 0$ if and only if $\det(H) = 0$. We note that the entries in $H$ are linearized couplings and $\det(H)$ is a homogeneous polynomial of degree $n+1$ in these entries. We use combinatorial matrix theory to factor the polynomial $\det(H)$ and thereby determine a menu of different types of possible homeostasis associated with each digraph $\mathcal{G}$. Specifically, we prove that each factor corresponds to a subnetwork of $\mathcal{G}$. The factors divide into two combinatorially defined classes: structural and appendage. Structural factors correspond to feedforward motifs and appendage factors correspond to feedback motifs. Finally, we discover an algorithm for determining the homeostasis subnetwork motif corresponding to each factor of $\det(H)$ without performing numerical simulations on model equations. The algorithm allows us to classify low degree factors of $\det(H)$.

Examining premises of boundary ambiguity and proposing boundary consensus as a concept
Creators: name: Desfosses, Danielle A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study fills a gap in the literature by examining premises of boundary ambiguity theory. First, whether boundary ambiguity is a family or individual construct is measured by testing family functioning as the dependent variable. Second, family membership and structure measures agreement on boundaries as it relates to family functioning. Boundary consensus is a proposed variable herein that examines perceived agreement on family boundaries. Each of these variables will be tested for the first time as dependent variables on the variable parent marital status, which is a group of students whose parents have separated/divorced, compared to students whose parents in their first union/marriages. Data were collected from university undergraduate classes with 130 students having parents in their first marriages and 30 having parents who had separated/divorced. Multiple regression was used to test the hypotheses. Results indicate that parent marital status is a predictor of both boundary ambiguity and family membership and structure, and that these two variables also predict students' family functioning. Boundary consensus is significantly related to parents' family functioning. The findings uphold certain premises of Boss' boundary ambiguity theory and implicate areas for improvement. The findings also suggest further research on boundary consensus to explore its possibility as a concept.

With many small to medium sized producers using their own independent transportation system, methods to optimize vehicle operations are desired. Will a transportation alliance reduce shipping costs, increase distribution efficiencies, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions among ornamental plants producers in Georgia? The study shows alliances are not only feasible, they have average total cost savings of 9%, average total miles driven savings of 8%, average number of trucks savings of 8%, average driving hours savings of 15%, and average carbon dioxide emissions savings of 8%.

description: The Special Safeguard Mechanism (SSM) was a key issue in the July 2008 failure to reach agreement in the WTO negotiations under the Doha Development Agenda. It includes both price (P-SSM) and quantity-triggered measures (Q-SSM). This paper uses a stochastic simulation model of the world wheat market to investigate the effects of policy makers implementing policies based on the SSM rules. As expected, implementation of the Q-SSM is found to reduce imports, raise domestic prices, and boost mean domestic production in the SSM regions. However, rather than insulating countries that use it from price volatility, it would actually increase domestic price volatility in developing countries, largely by restricting imports when domestic output is low and prices high. We estimate that implementation of the Q-SSM would shrink average wheat imports by nearly 50% in some regions, with world wheat trade falling by 4.7%. The P-SSM is discriminatory against low price, developing country exporters and tends to contribute to additional producer price instability.

So the aim of this paper to evaluate them use the composite index, t-test, t paired test, and unbalanced ANOVA. This research success to construct a new tool named The Adjusted Living Standard Index (ALSI) to approach the living standard. The dimension used consisted of income, social transfer, nonproductive assets, and productive assets. This study also founded that living standard of victims pra eruption all of the regions is low. The disaster tragedy made the dimensions of living standard fall down significantly, except for social transfer. However, after twenty-two months they have the recovery as well. But, the statistical tests showed that most of them have the difference in economic resilience caused by social transfer component. To make them more resilience, they need to strengthen supporting policy and insurance.

description: Direct state measurement (DSM) is a tomography method that allows for retrieving quantum states' wave functions directly. However, a shortcoming of current studies on the DSM is that it does not provide access to noisy quantum systems. Here, we attempt to fill the gap by investigating the DSM measurement precision that undergoes the state-preparation-and-measurement (SPAM) errors. We manipulate a quantum controlled measurement framework with various configurations and compare the efficiency between them. Under such SPAM errors, the state to be measured lightly deviates from the true state, and the measurement error in the postselection process results in less accurate in the tomography. Our study could provide a reliable tool for SPAM errors tomography and contribute to understanding and resolving an urgent demand for current quantum technologies.

Ocinara Walker, 1856, List Specimens lepid. Insects Colln. Br. Mus. 7: 1768. Type species: Ocinara dilectula Walker, 1856, by monotypy.
Diagnosis. The genus is diagnosed by the presence of a furculum in the male, which is a modification of the 8th tergite into a rectangular structure with lateral adpressed spines arising from an anterior 'frame'. In female genitalia, there is a large and scobinate signum in bursa, a large rounded lamella antevaginalis and a smaller lamella postvaginalis distinct from the 8th tergite, and distinctive lateral lobes on the membrane between these structures and the ovipositor lobes.
Distribution. Oriental and Palearctic Regions.
Remarks. The larvae of the Ocinara group were described by Mell (1958). They mostly resembled those of Gunda in having swellings on segments A2 and A5 and an extensile horn on A8. The horn could be flexed and extruded to terminate in a white apiculus. In contrast to the eggs of Trilocha varians, which are flattened, slightly rectangular discs, those of Ocinara are laid in long rows, with the shorter edges flattened and touching. The rows may curve but are not angled, and can be laid side-by-side but are separate. Pupation takes place in a yellow, semiovoid silken cocoon, which is usually attached to the surface of a leaf. The larval host plants of the group consist of Ficus, Artocarpus and Streblus (Moraceae) (Dierl, 1978; Mell, 1958; Roepke, 1924). The larva of the type species has been described as green with a horn on the 8th abdominal segment (Dierl, 1978), feeding on Ficus (Moraceae). The genus is most diverse in Sundaland, with only one species extending into the Indian Subregion, this being the only species recorded from China (Map 7).

description: Index insurance is an alternative to crop insurance that bases payouts on a variable that is highly correlated with income but beyond the control of individual households, such as rainfall, temperature, or area-yields (i.e., output per hectare in a large area). Index insurance offers risk protection while avoiding the incentive problems that plague traditional crop insurance, and as a result is seen by many as a promising antipoverty tool. However, participation in index insurance to this point has generally been in low. In this paper, we explore one factor that might potentially depress demand for index insurance: mistaken beliefs among farmers with respect to the distribution of the insured risk. Our experiences from an area-yield insurance pilot project for cotton farmers in the Pisco valley of Peru suggest that such errors are common. Lower demand means that not only are the benefits of index insurance not realized by households, but econometric measurement of the these benefits is more difficult due to low precision. One way to counteract these effects is a “randomized encouragement design,” i.e., the random assignment of positive economic incentives for the purchase of area-yield insurance, such as discount coupons. We examine the implications of a randomized encouragement design for econometric evaluation.

Results indicate the importance of socio-economic variables such as location, income and education, variables representing the risk of health problems (stroke, certain cancers), food being organic, support for food genetic modification or research, and attributes related to food preparation (cook fast, prepared with little waste or can be processed at home).

description: We report experiments on a quantum electron interferometer fabricated from high mobility, low density GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure material. In this device, a nearly circular electron island is defined by four front gates deposited in etched trenches. The island is separated from the 2D electron bulk by two nearly open constrictions. In the quantum Hall regime, two counterpropagating edge channels are coupled by tunneling in the constrictions, thus forming a closed electron interference path.For several fixed front gate voltages, we observe periodic Aharonov-Bohm interference oscillations in four-terminal resistance as a function of the enclosed flux. The oscillation period DeltaB gives the area of the interference path S via quantization condition S=h/eDeltaB. We experimentally determine the dependence of S on the front gate voltage, and find that the Aharonov-Bohm quantization condition does not require significant corrections due to the confining potential. These results can be interpreted as a constant integrated compressibility of the island with respect to the front gates. We also analyze experimental results using two classical electrostatics models: one modeling the 2D electron density due to depletion from an etch trench, and another modeling the gate voltage dependence of the electron density profile in the island.

Voluntary exercise alters the cyto-architecture of the adult dentate gyrus by increasing cellular proliferation, dendritic complexity, and spine density

description: While a dramatic increase in the number of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-positive cells in the adult dentate gyrus following voluntary exercise has been consistently reported, it has never been determined whether this reflects an increase in neurogenic activity or an exercise-induced increase in the metabolic processing of systemically injected BrdU (a compound that inserts itself into the DNA of cells undergoing replication in preparation for cell division). In these experiments, it is shown that (1) 200 mg/kg is a saturating dose of BrdU in both control and voluntary exercise animals, (2) there are almost twice as many BrdU-positive cells following exercise, but only if doses of BrdU of 200 mg/kg or greater are employed, (3) high doses of BrdU (400 and 600 mg/kg) do not affect the appearance or distribution of labeled cells, (4) voluntary exercise leads to similar increases in the number of cells expressing Ki67, an intrinsic marker of cellular proliferation, (5) dendritic length and dendritic complexity are significantly increased in the dentate gyrus regions of animals that exercise, and (6) spine density is significantly greater on the dendrites of dentate granule cells following voluntary exercise. This study demonstrates that exercise up-regulates neurogenic activity in the dentate gyrus region of adult rats, independent of any putative changes in altered BrdU metabolism, and that it substantially alters the morphology of dentate granule cell dendrites. The dramatic changes to the cyto-architecture of the dentate gyrus induced by voluntary exercise may underlie the enhancement of hippocampal long-term potentiation and hippocampal-dependent memory that our group has previously described. These results suggest that exercise may be an effective component of therapeutic regimes aimed at improving the functioning of individuals with neuropathologies that involve the degradation of cells in the hippocampal dentate gyrus.

description: This poster summarizes work on developing a direct and indirect risk preference function to represent producers who make acreage decisions. Risk is depicted as a constraint which producers face when making acreage decisions. A dual to the acreage decision problem is set up and used to obtain a indirect risk function. Derivative properties of the function are used to specify acreage equations. Sample acreage equations are estimated, using county level data for corn, wheat, and soybeans producers.

description: Previous analyses of dairy farm structural change focused on the variation over time in one or a small number of regions. Here we present an EU15-wide analysis of the change of the number of farms in different size classes. The purpose is (1) to identify the differences in regional development patterns and (2) to measure the explanatory relevance and effect of key factors suggested in the literature. Apart from the unprecedented scope, the underlying Markov chain analysis also contributes by combining observed transitions in micro data with macro data on farm numbers. Results show widely significant impacts of most explanatory variables, but also reveal the complexity of the underlying processes.

description: Using consistent truncations of the BFKL kernel, we derive analytical traveling-wave solutions of the Balitsky-Kovchegov saturation equation for both fixed and running coupling. A universal parametrization of the ``interior'' of the wave front is obtained and compares well with numerical simulations of the original Balitsky-Kovchegov equation, even at non-asymptotic energies. Using this universal parametrization, we find evidence for a traveling-wave pattern of the dipole amplitude determined from the gluon distribution extracted from deep inelastic scattering data.

description: This paper assesses the cost efficiency of indicator-based targeting. Using household survey data from Malawi, we examine whether an indicator-based targeting of the poor is more target- and cost-efficient than the currently used mechanisms for targeting agricultural subsidy programs in the country. There is compelling evidence in favor of targeting Malawi’s poor based on the newly developed system. An indicator-based targeting system appears to be more target- and cost-efficient than the 2000/01 Starter Pack and the 2006/07 Agricultural Input Subsidy Program (AISP). While the Starter Pack and the AISP transferred about 50% of total transfer, under an indicator-based system, about 73% of transfers are delivered to the poor. Likewise, under an indicator-based system, the costs of leakage are cut down by more than 50% compared to Starter Pack and AISP. This work is prospectively relevant for Malawi as its policy makers reflect on improving the efficiency of the country’s pro-poor development programs. Likewise, the research can be applied in other countries with similar targeting problems.
