description: Dual-purpose winter wheat production is an important economic enterprise in the southern Great Plains of the United States. Because of the complex interactions involved in producing wheat grain and beef gain from a single crop, stocking density is an important decision. The objective of the research is to determine the stocking density that maximizes expected net returns from dual-purpose winter wheat production. Statistical tests rejected a conventional linear-response plateau function in favor of a linear-response stochastic plateau function. The optimal stocking density of 1.48 steers/ha (0.60 steers/acre) is 19% greater with a stochastic than with a nonstochastic plateau.

description: This paper develops and illustrates the application of a procedure to evaluate and compare the cost effectiveness of alternative crop insurance products for cotton in terms of their effect on expected producer net returns and the variation of net returns. Farm unit-level cotton yields and state-level price distributions are estimated by a multivariate nonnormal parametric modeling procedure and used to simulate the net returns to alternative crop insurance products over a 10-year planning horizon. The ranking of alternative insurance products using third-degree stochastic dominance is presented for Texas cotton producers.
Three Essays on Natural Resources, Climate Change and Economic Growth
Creators: name: Hongslip Sriket
Publisher: name: University of Leicester

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis contains three main chapters that explore various issues related to natural resources, climate change and long-term economic growth. In Chapter 2, we examine the conditions under which endogenous long-term economic growth will emerge in an overlapping-generation model with productive non-renewable resources. We formally prove that the elasticity of substitution between labour and natural resource input plays a crucial role in generating endogenous long-term economic growth. In Chapter 3, we examine how the substitutability between renewable and non-renewable resources will affect long-term economic growth. To achieve this, we develop two discrete-time endogenous growth models with both renewable and non-renewable natural resources. These two types of resources enter into the production function through a constant-elasticity-of-substitution (CES) aggregator. The ease or difficulty in substituting between these two inputs is then captured by a single parameter, namely the elasticity of substitution. We then analyse how changes in this elasticity will affect long-term economic growth. Finally, in Chapter 4, we develop a multi-sector neoclassical growth model to analyse the effects of climate change on economic growth and the allocation of productive inputs and outputs across sectors. A novel feature of this model is that it takes into account the differential impact of global warming on agricultural and non-agricultural productivity growth. In particular, the effect of climate change on long-run growth is well-characterised. However, the impacts on long-run allocation of labour across sectors as well as value-added shares are ambiguous due to ambiguity effect of the climate impact on capital return.

description: By rigorously accounting for mesoscale spatial correlations in donor/acceptor surface properties, we develop a scale-spanning model for same-material tribocharging. We find that mesoscale correlations affect not only the magnitude of charge transfer but also the fluctuations-suppressing otherwise overwhelming charge-transfer variability that is not observed experimentally. We furthermore propose a generic theoretical mechanism by which the mesoscale features might emerge, which is qualitatively consistent with other proposals in the literature.

description: We present the results of the first Charged-Particle Transport Coefficient Code Comparison Workshop, which was held in Albuquerque, NM October 4-6, 2016. In this first workshop, scientists from eight institutions and four countries gathered to compare calculations of transport coefficients including thermal and electrical conduction, electron-ion coupling, inter-ion diffusion, ion viscosity, and charged particle stopping powers. Here, we give general background on Coulomb coupling and computational expense, review where some transport coefficients appear in hydrodynamic equations, and present the submitted data. Large variations are found when either the relevant Coulomb coupling parameter is large or computational expense causes difficulties. Understanding the general accuracy and uncertainty associated with such transport coefficients is important for quantifying errors in hydrodynamic simulations of inertial confinement fusion and high-energy density experiments.

Structural characterisation of the SMRT co-repressor complex and the Aster-A protein

Year: 2020

description: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are involved in removing acetyl groups from lysine residues on histone tails resulting in gene repression. The SMRT/NCoR complex is a class I HDAC co-repressor complex the core of which includes the proteins HDAC3, TBL1/TBLR1 and GPS2. The SMRT/NCoR complex is targeted to chromatin by unliganded nuclear receptors and can also be seen as a drug target. Structures have already been published of the TBL1 N-terminal domain, the GPS2/SMRT coiled coil and HDAC3/SMRT but the structure of the core SMRT complex is not known. A model based on the current known structures has been derived from negative stain and cryo-EM to create a 3D model of the core SMRT complex. Complementary techniques such as crosslinking-mass spectrometry and SAXS have been used to support and complement the EM models converging on a consensus model for the core SMRT complex. The crystal structure of the HDAC3:SMRT complex identified an inositol phosphate positioned at the interface between HDAC3 and SMRT. This as fuelled future work which has shown that inositol phosphates are able to activate the HDAC containing complexes. HDAC activity assays and fluorescence polarisation experiments have been performed with a range of inositol phosphate derivatives to probe the binding pocket to assess the potential as a therapeutic target. The Aster-A protein is also regulated by nuclear receptors, LXR in particular. The structure of this protein bound to 25-hydroxycholesterol ligand has been determined by X-ray crystallography which has revealed details of its mechanism of action. A flexible W1 loop may be required for entry and exit of the cholesterol into the partially open ligand-binding cavity.

description: A critical look is taken at both positive and null evidence for the $Θ^+$ pentaquark. Potential problems with experiments will be discussed and the question of what conclusion can be drawn from both the positive and the null results is examined. First the question of existence of the $Θ^+$ pentaquark is considered, followed by a discussion of new experiments that are either planned or in progress to answer questions about its mass, width and isospin. Finally, indirect evidence for the parity of the $Θ^+$ is examined, and suggestions for experiments to measure its parity directly are given.

description: Wine production in Germany has a tradition of more than 200 years in each of the 13 German quality wine-growing regions. Even today mall grape growers dominate the industry. As a result, most of the viticulturists are members of cooperatives. Our observation that grape growers still turn to wine co-ops, and hence, the increase in co-op members and vineyards, might indicate that the wine co-ops are successful. Thus, the aim of our paper is two-fold. First, we analyze the structure of this complex sector and the managerial construct strategic member groups. Second, we empirically test whether the formation of strategic groups is a driver of cooperative success.
Semiclassical and quantum Liouville theory on the sphere

description: We solve the Riemann-Hilbert problem on the sphere topology for three singularities of finite strength and a fourth one infinitesimal, by determining perturbatively the Poincare' accessory parameters. In this way we compute the semiclassical four point vertex function with three finite charges and a fourth infinitesimal. Some of the results are extended to the case of n finite charges and m infinitesimal. With the same technique we compute the exact Green function on the sphere with three finite singularities. Turning to the full quantum problem we address the calculation of the quantum determinant on the background of three finite charges and the further perturbative corrections. The zeta function technique provides a theory which is not invariant under local conformal transformations. Instead by employing a regularization suggested in the case of the pseudosphere by Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov we obtain the correct quantum conformal dimensions from the one loop calculation and we show explicitly that the two loop corrections do not change such dimensions. We expect such a result to hold to all order perturbation theory.

description: A társadalmi-gazdasági folyamatok vizsgálatának fontos és történelmileg egyre inkább az érdeklődés középpontjába kerülő dimenzióját jelenti azok térbelisége. Valamennyi fejlődéstörténeti korszak általános jellemzője az egyenlőtlen területi fejlődés. Hazánkban és Romániában is mély gazdaságtörténeti gyökerei vannak a fejlettségbéli differenciálódásnak. A rendszerváltással bekövetkező gazdasági válságjegyek az országos fejlettséget meghatározó "szakadék" elmélyüléséhez vezettek. Világossá vált, hogy az eddigi területfejlesztési politika és eszközrendszer nem elegendő. A leszakadás megfékezését és a közeledést a külföldi területfejlesztési források uniós csatlakozást követő minél nagyobb mértékű megszerzése jelenti. A piacgazdaságra való áttérés óta fokozódó fejlettségbéli eltérések tompítását kívánja szolgálni a Duna-Körös-Maros-Tisza interregionális együttműködés a keleti, délkeleti határ mellékén. Ennek megfelelően az eurorégióval kapcsolatos megoldandó feladatokat és lehetőségeket is megpróbáljuk feltárni. Vizsgálatunk alapvető célja a magyar és román határ menti területi egységek gazdasági fejlettségének az összehasonlítása a centrum-periféria sajátosságok függvényében.
description: A new dimension of the study of the social economic processes is getting more and more into the highlight, namely their regional effect. All the eras of the development history are generally featured by the unequal regional development. In Hungary and in Romania as well the regional differences in the development have deep roots in the economic history. The signs of the economic crises emerged after the transition of the economy has led to a deepening gap featuring the development of the country. It became clear that the measures and the policy of the regional development applied so far are not satisfactory. The growing access to the funds intended to serve the regional development can be a tool to narrow the gap and to line up after our joining to the EU. The Duna-Körös-Maros-Tisza interregional co-operation along the Eastern, South-eastern border was set up with the aim to narrow the development gap that has been widening since introducing the market economy. On the ground of this we intend to highlight the tasks to be solved and the facilities to be discovered. The general aim of our analysis is to make a comparison of the economic development level of the Hungarian and Romanian along the border regions in the highlight of the centre-periphery features.
Gravity currents in a porous medium at an inclined plane

description: We consider the release from a point source of relatively heavy fluid into a porous saturated medium above an impermeable slope. We consider the case where the volume of the resulting gravity current increases with time like $t^α$ and show that for $α<3$, at short times the current spreads axisymmetrically, with radius $r\sim t^{(α+1)/4}$, while at long times it spreads predominantly downslope. In particular, for long times the downslope position of the current scales like $t$ while the current extends a distance $t^{α/3}$ across the slope. For $α>3$, this situation is reversed with spreading occurring predominantly downslope for short times. The governing equations admit similarity solutions whose scaling behaviour we determine, with the full similarity form being evaluated by numerical computations of the governing partial differential equation. We find that the results of these analyses are in good quantitative agreement with a series of laboratory experiments. Finally, we briefly discuss the implications of our work for the sequestration of carbon dioxide in aquifers with a sloping, impermeable cap.

description: After the change of the political system, at the beginning of the 90’s, the territorial differences in Hungary deepened obviously. Approximately 1.5 millions jobs were terminated, the production in the former industrial centres declined, and the reorganization of the economical system started. All these afflicted the areas with the highest working power, so the crises in the different sectors of economy widened out into regional crises. Losing the Eastern markets in agriculture also destabilized the former structural and productional system, which were even deepened by the political decisions concerning the reorganization of the proprietorships. During a few years the rate of employment decreased dramatically, unemployment skyrocketed, and by 1993 it reached its peak at 13%. We can observe behind the significant changes big regional differences, and these differences have remained stable. As an effect of the changes the former differences have remained, though the differences between the underdeveloped regions and those with the more favoured labour markets have partly been reorganized, decreased or increased.

description: Inelastic neutron scattering has been applied to the study of the spin dynamics of Cr-based antiferromagnetic octanuclear rings where a finite total spin of the ground state is obtained by substituting one Cr(III) ion (s = 3/2) with Zn (s = 0), Mn (s = 5/2) or Ni (s = 1) di-cations. Energy and intensity measurements for several intra-multiplet and inter-multiplet magnetic excitations allow us to determine the spin wavefunctions of the investigated clusters. Effects due to the mixing of different spin multiplets have been considered. Such effects proved to be important to correctly reproduce the energy and intensity of magnetic excitations in the neutron spectra. On the contrary to what is observed for the parent homonuclear Cr8 ring, the symmetry of the first excited spin states is such that anticrossing conditions with the ground state can be realized in the presence of an external magnetic field. Heterometallic Cr7M wheels are therefore good candidates for macroscopic observations of quantum effects.

description: In order to ensure the sustainable convergence required for the achievement of economic and monetary union (EMU), the Treaty sets five convergence criteria which must be met by each Member State before it can take part in the third stage of EMU and hence before it can adopt the euro. Compliance is checked on the basis of reports produced by the Commission and the European Central Bank (ECB). The criteria are: • government finances (the Commission when drawing up its annual recommendation to the Council of Finance Ministers examines compliance with budgetary discipline on the basis of the following two criteria): o the ratio of annual government deficit to gross domestic product must not exceed 3% at the end of the preceding financial year [http://europa.eu/scadplus/leg/en/lvb/l25014.htm]; o the ratio of government debt to gross domestic product must not exceed 60% at the end of the preceding financial year; • there must be a sustainable degree of price stability and an average inflation rate, observed over a period of one year before the examination, which does not exceed by more than one and a half percentage points that of the three best performing Member States in terms of price stability during the year preceding the examination of the situation in that Member States; • there must be a long-term nominal interest rate which does not exceed by more than two percentage points that of the three best performing Member States in terms of price stability. The period taken into consideration is the year preceding the examination of the situation in the Member State concerned; • the normal fluctuation margins provided for by the exchange-rate mechanism must be respected without severe tensions for at least the last two years before the examination.

An Investigation of Teachers’ Professional Learning in the Age of Reform

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Whether schools should undertake reforms regarding their systems is no longer an issue. Indeed, many schools around the world have begun to implement educational reforms designed to support student learning. Saudi Arabia is one such country and has recently launched a national educational reform to achieve this. The reform project has been implemented in some secondary schools across Saudi Arabia. The reform aims to support schools in moving towards building a professional learning community.Teachers are the key figures here as they have a direct influence upon students. Few studies have explored the policies of teacher professional learning or the different strategies adopted in developing such communities (Mitchell, Riley and Loughram, 2010). The key question now has thus become what the reform outcomes are in terms of teacher professional learning in such schools. This doctoral study investigated the policies of the reform, the strategies that school members adopt to develop such a community, and the viewpoints of such stakeholders in relation to their experience of professional learning under the reform.This study is a qualitative case study of one female secondary school in Saudi Arabia. The research has sought the perspectives of participants from different levels.The findings highlighted the key themes that influence teacher professional learning – including the restructuring undertaken and the operating of the school differently via the creating of new teams and roles within the school. In addition, the findings shed light on the different internal strategies adopted by participants to enhance their professional capacity. This study, furthermore, has highlighted the external support required to enhance a school’s movement towards being a professional learning community and the factors that hinder such movement. Overall, this study has revealed the challenges faced in putting the reform policies into practice. There is a need for more consideration to be given to this area as a result of the complexity of the context and the impact of the school culture when implementing new polices.

description: The MEG experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) represents the state of the art in the search for the charged Lepton Flavour Violating (cLFV) $μ^+ \rightarrow e^+ γ$ decay. With the phase 1, MEG set the new world best upper limit on the $\mbox{BR}(μ^+ \rightarrow e^+ γ) < 4.2 \times 10^{-13}$ (90% C.L.). With the phase 2, MEG II, the experiment aims at reaching a sensitivity enhancement of about one order of magnitude compared to the previous MEG result. The new Cylindrical Drift CHamber (CDCH) is a key detector for MEG II. CDCH is a low-mass single volume detector with high granularity: 9 layers of 192 drift cells, few mm wide, defined by $\sim 12000$ wires in a stereo configuration for longitudinal hit localization. The filling gas mixture is Helium:Isobutane (90:10). The total radiation length is $1.5 \times 10^{-3}$ $\mbox{X}_0$, thus minimizing the Multiple Coulomb Scattering (MCS) contribution and allowing for a single-hit resolution $< 120$ $μ$m and an angular and momentum resolutions of 6 mrad and 90 keV/c respectively. This article presents the CDCH commissioning activities at PSI after the wiring phase at INFN Lecce and the assembly phase at INFN Pisa. The endcaps preparation, HV tests and conditioning of the chamber are described, aiming at reaching the final stable working point. The integration into the MEG II experimental apparatus is described, in view of the first data taking with cosmic rays and $μ^+$ beam during the 2018 and 2019 engineering runs. The first gas gain results are also shown. A full engineering run with all the upgraded detectors and the complete DAQ electronics is expected to start in 2020, followed by three years of physics data taking.

It has been taken into account the effects of a $c-$variable into the curvature tensor. Two exact cosmological solutions are investigated, arriving to the conclusion that if $q<0$ (deceleration parameter) then $G,$ $c$ are growing functions on time $t$ while $Λ$ is a negative decreasing function on time.

 Five female specimens were captured at a fruiting fig tree (Ficus oppositifolia); none is available for study at the Harrison Institute. The variation in forearm length (63.5–76.9 mm) and body mass (22–56 g) suggests that C. brachyotis (Muller, 1838) may also be present in the sample; this lat- ter taxon is currently only recorded with certainty from Rakhine State. For further details of the systematics of Cynopterus in Myanmar see Pearch et al. (2003).

description: The most important territory of the agricultural production is the rural area. The rural area has effect on the production and the production has effect on the structure of the rural area. The agriculture as a sector was regulated by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which had established by the old member states. The structure of the old and the new members is not the same, so the effect of the CAP could be different in the various countries. Over and above the CAP reform determines not only the future of the agriculture but the future of the rural areas also. It is important to examine the role of the rural area in the various member states. The Visegrad Group is a loose cooperation beside of the Union and the members of it are competitors and partners at the same time. It is necessary to recognize the important regions of the agriculture and make comparison between them and other regions in another member states. The rural areas play different role in the four countries, and the various regions play various role in the different sector of the agriculture. The aim of the paper is to examine the role of the rural areas and the future of it takes into account the CAP reform.

Shan State: Innwine cave and waterfall.
 Previous records from Myanmar
 Rakhine State (Pearch et al., 2003); Yangon Division: Yangon (YU); Kayin State (Bates, 2003); Mon State (Bates, 2003); Kyaik-Kha-Mi (YU); Tanintharyi Division: Tagoot (Wroughton, 1915); Mar- laka cave, Shingyein cave (YU/HZM).
 Comments
 Four specimens were collected with a forearm length of 67.0–74.5 mm and a body mass of 53.5–79.5 g. It is easily identifi- able amongst the local fruit bat species by the absence of a claw on the second digit. All specimens from Myanmar are referable to the nominate race E. s. spelaea. This spe- cies was present at Innwine cave despite the commercial extraction of guano.

description: We present a method to investigate the kinetics of protein folding on a long time-scale and the dynamics underlying the formation of secondary and tertiary structures during the entire reaction. The approach is based on the formal analogy between thermal and quantum diffusion: by writing the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for the time-evolution of a protein in a viscous heat-bath in terms of a path integral, we derive a Hamilton-Jacobi variational principle from which we are able to compute the most probable pathway of folding. The method is applied to the folding of the Villin Headpiece Subdomain, in the framework of a Go-model. We have found that, in this model, the transition occurs through an initial collapsing phase driven by the starting coil configuration and a later rearrangement phase, in which secondary structures are formed and all computed paths display strong similarities. This method is completely general, does not require the prior knowledge of any reaction coordinate and represents an efficient tool to perfom ab-initio simulations of the entire folding process with available computers.

description: The article makes an attempt to answer the question, which of the development approaches of rural areas might be better: the one based on tradition, or perhaps the one, which is related with innovations. The conducted studies indicate that rural areas are strongly diversified. Various types of economic and social activity, which takes place in those areas, require a diversified approach. Thus, the answer for the question asked in the title cannot be a simple one. However, one can put forward a theory that the most proper development approach of rural areas is the concept of their sustainable development, in which tradition should be supplemented with innovation and vice versa. Only then will rural areas retain their heritage and at the same time will be a worthwhile place of living and economic activity.

Search for Long-Lived Doubly-Charged Higgs Bosons in p-pbar Collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We present a search for long-lived doubly-charged Higgs bosons (H^{\pm \pm}), with signatures of high ionization energy loss and muon-like penetration. We use 292/pb of data collected in p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Observing no evidence of long-lived doubly-charged particle production, we exclude H^{\pm \pm}_L and H^{\pm \pm}_R bosons with masses below 133 GeV/c^2 and 109 GeV/c^2, respectively. In the degenerate case we exclude H^{\pm \pm} mass below 146 GeV/c^2. All limits are quoted at the 95% confidence level.

description: The properties of electrically charged strange quark stars predicted by an interacting quark matter equation of state (EoS) based on cold and dense perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) are investigated. The stability of strange stars is analyzed considering different models for the electric charge distribution inside the star as well as for distinct values for the total electric charge. A comparison with the predictions derived using the MIT bag model is also presented. We show that the presence of a net electric charge inside strange stars implies in a larger maximum mass in comparison to their neutral counterparts. Moreover, we demonstrate that the pQCD EoS implies larger values for the maximum mass of charged strange stars, with very heavy charged stars being stable systems against radial oscillations. For an electric charge distribution given by $q(r) = βr^3$, the pQCD EoS implies unstable configurations for large values of the renormalization scale as well as for large values of $β$, in contrast to the MIT bag model predictions.

description: We propose a novel approach to model amorphous materials using a first principles density functional method while simultaneously enforcing agreement with selected experimental data. We illustrate our method with applications to amorphous silicon and glassy GeSe$_2$. The structural, vibrational and electronic properties of the models are found to be in agreement with experimental results. The method is general and can be extended to other complex materials.

Piano music in Italy during the fascist era
Creators: name: Di Bella, Karin Maria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis investigates Italian instrumental music (specifically piano music) during the two decades between the two World Wars, the period of Italian fascism under Mussolini's rule. After two centuries of opera domination in that country, instrumental music, especially an up-to-date brand of it, was sorely lacking. A number of composers recognized this need and began to effect changes in the instrumental music scene, some with more success than others. Most of these composers are not well known to the general music public today. The pressing question is, to what extent the fascist government and its culture had an effect on the development of music during this period. Were there Italian bureaucratic equivalents to those sanctioned by the Nazis in the world of art? What was the extent of musical censorship? Did the fascist regime influence the music of the composers writing under it? Is there a musical style which can be labelled "fascist"? In order to answer these questions, the proper context must be presented. In the first chapter the history of fascism is explored, followed by a general survey of music and its particular development and influences during the first half of the twentieth century. The remaining chapters (3-8) explore the contributions of the major composers in Italy active during fascist rule, with special emphasis on the piano work s of these composers. Chapter 9 presents Conclusions. Works for analysis were chosen from the entire period of 1919 to 1944, and represent different compositional camps, from the conservatives (Respighi and Pizzetti) to the progressives (Casella and Malipiero), the older generation (the 1880's generation) to the younger (Dallapiccola and Petrassi), and one Jewish study (Castelnuovo-Tedesco). Aside from the analysis of the works, sources for the study were books, articles, and theses in English and Italian. Results of the study reveal there to be no direct effect of fascist policies on the music of the period under its rule. Not only was there no coherent basis of stylistic censorship (apart from racial bans on Jewish composers beginning in 1938, regardless of style), but, consequently, there does not exist a fascist musical style nor specific compositional traits. The music evolved rather independently, resulting from Italian music's peculiar historical position.

description: Compactifications of the heterotic string on T^d are the simplest, yet rich enough playgrounds to uncover swampland ideas: the U(1)^{d+16} left-moving gauge symmetry gets enhanced at special points in moduli space only to certain groups. We state criteria, based on lattice embedding techniques, to establish whether a gauge group is realized or not. For generic d, we further show how to obtain the moduli that lead to a given gauge group by modifying the method of deleting nodes in the extended Dynkin diagram of the Narain lattice II_{1,17}. More general algorithms to explore the moduli space are also developed. For d=1 and 2 we list all the maximally enhanced gauge groups, moduli, and other relevant information about the embedding in II_{d,d+16}. In agreement with the duality between heterotic on T^2 and F-theory on K3, all possible gauge groups on T^2 match all possible ADE types of singular fibers of elliptic K3 surfaces. We also present a simple method to transform the moduli under the duality group, and we build the map that relates the charge lattices and moduli of the compactification of the E_8 x E_8 and Spin(32)/Z_2 heterotic theories.

description: This paper investigates the conditions for the formation of local bumps in the activity of binary attractor neural networks with spatially dependent connectivity. We show that these formations are observed when asymmetry between the activity during the retrieval and learning is imposed. Analytical approximation for the order parameters is derived. The corresponding phase diagram shows a relatively large and stable region, where this effect is observed, although the critical storage and the information capacities drastically decrease inside that region. We demonstrate that the stability of the network, when starting from the bump formation, is larger than the stability when starting even from the whole pattern. Finally, we show a very good agreement between the analytical results and the simulations performed for different topologies of the network.
