description: This empirical study aims to shed light on the dynamic linkages between innovation and efficiency at individual farm level. We use a comprehensive dataset for dairy farms in Germany for the period 1995 to 2010. Based on a directional distance function framework we estimate the changes in efficiency, technical change and productivity over the period considered. In a second step we then investigate possible factors for technically efficient milk production at farm level before we finally try to identify those farms that are capable of translating investments in innovative technologies into actual efficiency gains over time applying a multinomial logit approach. Our empirical findings reveal that investments in innovative dairy technologies are only reflected in higher profitability if sufficient Know-How for the efficient use of these innovations is available.

description: The diamagnetism of platinum metals (N: Rh, Pt, Pd), which is induced by the proximity effect of a superconductor (S: Nb), has been investigated for N-S double layers. Notwithstanding the strong spin fluctuation in platinum metals, the screening distance ρin N increases with a decrease in temperature and reaches a value which is expected in comparison with ρin Cu. When magnetic impurities are included in N, the proximity effect is drastically suppressed and the paramagnetism due to a giant moment is observed.

title: The Structure of Interest Rates in Canada: Information Content about Medium-Term Inflation
Creators: name: Day, Jim
name: Lange, Ron
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1997

description: This paper examines the relationship between the term structure of interest rates and future changes in inflation for Canada using a newly constructed par-value yield series. The main conclusion of the empirical work is that the slope of the nominal term structure from 1- to 5-year maturities is a reasonably good predictor of future changes in inflation over these horizons. This result is similar to that obtained for the United States and other countries.

Results for models that also include competing indicators of inflation suggest that the medium-term structure of interest rates contains unique information about future inflation. Although there is additional information about future changes in inflation in M2+, commodity prices, and the output gap, this does not affect the predictive content of the medium-term structure.
description: Les auteurs examinent la relation entre la structure des taux d' intérêt et l'évolution future de l'inflation au Canada en se servant d'une nouvelle série de taux de rendement construite au moyen des valeurs nominales. La principale conclusion qu'ils tirent de cet examen empirique est que la pente de la courbe des rendements (mesurés en termes nominaux) pour les échéances de 1 à 5 ans est un indicateur relativement fiable de l'évolution future de l'inflation à ces horizons. Différentes études réalisées au sujet des États-Unis et d'autres pays aboutissent à la même conclusion.

Selon les résultats obtenus à l'aide de modèles faisant intervenir d'autres indicateurs de l'inflation, la structure des taux d'intérêt à moyen terme recèle des renseignements distincts au sujet de l'évolution future de l'inflation. Bien que l'agrégat M2+, les prix des produits de base et l'écart de production aident aussi à prévoir l'inflation à venir, la valeur informative de la structure des taux d'intérêt à moyen terme est indépendante de celle de ces variables.

description: Adsorption is an effective strategy for the removal of pollutants from the wastewater. Herein, a 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid (2-HTA) modified hypercrosslinked polymer (2-HTA-HCP) is successfully synthesized via Friedel-Crafts reactions and used as an adsorbent for the different types of pollutants including organic contaminants and heavy metal ions from wastewater. Excellent adsorption capacities are observed for amines (aniline, p-methylaniline (p-MA), p-chloroaniline (p-CA), and p-aminobenzoic acid (p-ABA)), phenols (phenol, p-chlorophenol (4-CP), Bisphenol A (BPA), 1-Naphthol (1-NP)), dyes (rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO)), and metal ions (Pb2+, Hg2+, and Cd2+). The resulting polymer exhibited excellent adsorption performance toward these pollutants. The interaction mechanism has been investigated and confirmed by FTIR and the theoretical calculation results.

description: The separation of oil and water mixtures is an important issue in acidic and alkaline conditions. In this paper, the chitosan (CS)-coated filter paper was successfully fabricated for application in the field of oil/water separation by crosslinking filter paper with hydrophilic chitosan through a simple Schiff’s base reaction. The surface of the prepared CS-coated filter paper maintains superhydrophilic and low adhesive ability to oil in water. Besides, this filter paper can resist highly acidic erosion even concentrated sulfuric acid. Surprisingly, CS-coated filter paper can be efficiently applied on the separation of different types of oil/water mixtures in wide pH range conditions and exhibits excellent recyclability and antibacterial property. The antibacterial rate of CS fiber pure textile can reach 99%. The antibacterial rate of blended fabric is about 75%. This separation process has high potential for industrial oilfield wastewater treatment and separation in extreme environments.

description: This paper reviews selectively the literature on exchange rate target zones and corresponding methodologies and examines whether they can be used to analyse the inflation-control problem. Given the close correspondence between the exchange rate and inflation-targeting problems, the target-zone literature may help us better understand inflation dynamics and central-bank credibility in the presence of inflation-control targets or ranges. While we find many common elements across the exchange rate and inflation-control target-zone problems, we also find several important differences that make a direct application of the exchange rate target-zone techniques difficult.
description: Les auteurs examinent quelques modèles tirés des études portant sur les zones cibles de taux de change, dans l'intention de déterminer si ces modèles peuvent servir à l'analyse de stratégies axées sur la maîtrise de l'inflation. Compte tenu de la grande similitude que présentent la poursuite d'objectifs en matière de taux de change et celle d'objectifs en matière d'inflation, ces études pourraient nous aider à mieux comprendre la dynamique de l'inflation ainsi que les facteurs qui concourent à la crédibilité de la banque centrale lorsque cette dernière vise un taux (ou une fourchette de taux) d'inflation donné. Les deux types de stratégies ont de nombreux points en commun, mais les différences importantes que les auteurs relèvent entre elles rendent difficile l'application directe des modèles de zone cible à l'étude des cibles en matière d'inflation.

description: Optimization of steviol glycosides and polyphenols extraction from stevia leaves for maceration, microwave-assisted (MAE) and ultrasound-assisted (UAE) techniques were performed by investigating the effects of process variables using response surface methodology. Optimum extraction conditions for maceration were 50% EtOH concentration, 118 mL/g solvent ratio, 54°C temperature, and 112 min extraction time. Optimum operation temperatures and extraction times for MAE and UAE were estimated as 51°C & 16 min and 50°C & 43 min, respectively. MAE and UAE significantly reduced processing time as compared to maceration. A total of 65 compounds were identified by LC/Q-TOF/MS analysis.
title: A Micro Approach to the Issue of Hysteresis in Unemployment: Evidence from the 1988­1990 Labour Market Activity Survey
Creators: name: Wilkinson, Gordon
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1997

description: This paper uses a rich set of microeconomic labour market data—the 1988­90 Labour Market Activity Survey published by Statistics Canada—to test whether there is negative duration dependence in unemployment spells. It updates and extends similar work carried out by Jones (1995) who used the 1986­87 Labour Market Activity Survey. Applying hazard model estimation, the analysis finds some evidence of negative duration dependence at the microeconomic level, which is consistent with the de-skilling hypothesis of hysteresis. These microeconomic estimates of negative duration dependence are used to compute macroeconomic estimates of hysteresis in unemployment. The results suggest that hysteresis effects from de-skilling are very small at the macro level, contributing less than 0.1 percentage points to the aggregate unemployment rate. The small estimated size of this hysteresis effect may explain why evidence of hysteresis has been so difficult to find at the macroeconomic level. The paper also shows that Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits reduce the probability of exiting from unemployment and that unemployment duration does not seem to be prolonged by reservation-wage effects.
description: L'auteur fait appel à une base de données microéconomiques très riche -- soit les données de l'enquête de Statistique Canada portant sur l'activité du marché du travail pour les années 1988 à 1990 -- afin d'établir si la probabilité de cesser d'être chômeur diminue à mesure que le chômage se prolonge. Il actualise et élargit les travaux analogues menés par Jones (1995) à l'aide des résultats de l'enquête de Statistique Canada relative aux années 1986 et 1987. Son analyse, qui repose sur l'estimation d'un modèle d'évaluation du risque, aboutit à des résultats qui appuient dans une certaine mesure l'existence d'une relation négative, au niveau microéconomique, entre la durée du chômage et la probabilité de cesser d'être chômeur, ce qui est conforme à l'hypothèse voulant que l'hystérèse soit due à l'érosion des compétences. À l'aide des estimations qu'il obtient au niveau microéconomique, l'auteur tente de chiffrer l'effet d'hystérèse dans le chômage au niveau macroéconomique. Selon ses résultats, l'effet d'hystérèse lié à l'érosion des compétences est très faible à l'échelle de l'économie et compterait pour moins de 0,1 point de pourcentage dans le taux de chômage global. La faiblesse de l'effet estimé pourrait expliquer que l'hystérèse soit si difficile à déceler au niveau macroéconomique. L'étude montre aussi que le versement de prestations d'assurance-chômage réduit la probabilité de cesser d'être chômeur et que les effets liés au salaire minimum exigé par un chômeur pour accepter un emploi ne semblent pas prolonger la durée du chômage.

description: We apply the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to identify farmers’ psychological constructs toward agricultural technology in three dimensions: attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. We use data from 731 farmers in Eastern India. The sample farmers come from two groups: 157 farmers who have received seed mini-kits of a new stress-tolerant rice variety, called Swarna Sub 1, from NGOs; and 574 farmers who were randomly selected in the villages where the mini-kits were distributed. In this paper, we find that the mini-kit recipient farmers have higher scores on psychological constructs toward new technologies than the representative farmers. We also find that scheduled caste, female, and less educated farmers have lower scores on the psychological constructs. Among representative farmers, we estimate an adoption model of Swarna Sub 1 and find that psychological constructs are positively associated with the adoption of Swarna Sub 1. Although the causality between the psychological constructs and the adoption of Swarna Sub 1 is indecisive in this paper, the result indicates the importance of investigating farmers’ psychological constructs in technology adoption in developing countries.

description: The paper investigates the opinion of small- and medium size enterprises in agri-food chain on the role of trust in contractual relationships using a survey in Central Hungarian region. Contrary to our expectations, a relatively high share of respondents poses written contracts. Estimations show that there are no significant differences between various levels of agri-food chain regarding to existence of written contract. Our results suggest that asset specificity, firm size and frequency of partner change increase the probability of written contract. Trust in most important partner has ambiguous impact upon the existence of a formal contract. Trust in public legal enforcement and the efficiency of the legal system also play important roles on the existence of written contract. Sectorial specificity has positive and significant effects on the written contract.

description: Observations of protoplanetary disks with high angular resolution using an ALMA interferometer showed that ring-shaped structures are often visible in their images, indicating strong disturbances in the disks. The mechanisms of their formation are vividly discussed in the literature. This article shows that the formation of such structures can be the result of destructive collisions of large bodies (planetesimals and planetary embryos) accompanied by the formation of a large number of dust particles, and the subsequent evolution of a cloud of dust formed in this way.

description: When the modern era of environmental policy began with creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and passage of the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, economists and economics were little used. Over time, economics became a major contributor to formation of environmental policy. Executive Order 12291 pushed economics into the policy process but also rendered benefit-cost analysis controversial. I report on economics’ role in the policy process over time and examine contributions by economists to environmental policymaking. Advancing benefit-cost analysis is an obvious contribution. I describe other areas in which economists have contributed and highlight milestones for economics at EPA.

description: Virtual Reality (VR), which brings immersive experiences to viewers, has been gaining popularity in recent years. A key feature in VR systems is the use of omnidirectional content, which provides 360-degree views of scenes. In this work, we study the human quality perception of omnidirectional images, focusing on different zones surrounding the foveation point. For that purpose, an extensive subjective experiment is carried out to assess the perceptual quality of omnidirectional images with non-uniform quality. Through experimental results, the impacts of different zones are analyzed. Moreover, nineteen objective quality metrics, including foveal quality metrics, are evaluated using our database. It is quantitatively shown that the zones corresponding to the fovea and parafovea of human eyes are extremely important for quality perception, while the impacts of the other zones corresponding to the perifovea and periphery are small. Besides, the investigated metrics are found to be not effective enough to reflect the quality perceived by viewers.

description: The paper presents an analysis of the nearby QSO host I Zw 1 based on new J-band imaging data, obtained with ISAAC at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO). As one of the best-studied QSOs with exceptional properties lying between those of QSOs, narrow-line Seyfert 1s, and ultraluminous infrared galaxies, I Zw 1 is a prime candidate for a detailed case study of a QSO host. With its high angular resolution and sensitivity, the new J-band image provides strong evidence for an interaction between I Zw 1 and the western companion galaxy. We present a procedure for subtracting the QSO nucleus from the I Zw 1 image to obtain an undisturbed view on the underlying host galaxy. Based on the derived surface brightness profile and the gas rotation curve, the host is classified as a high-surface-brightness Freeman type I galaxy with a central disk surface brightness significantly larger than that of normal spirals. The surface-brightness profile is decomposed into a Plummer bulge and a Kuzmin disk with similar luminosities and a bulge-to-disk scale length ratio of 0.29, comparable to that of nearby spiral hosts with active galactic nuclei (AGN). Different models for the decomposition of the gas rotation curve are discussed. The resulting J-band mass-to-light ratio (M/L) of (0.7+/-0.4) M_sun/L_sun for the disk component suggests a mean solar-type stellar population with a tendency towards young stars. The bulge exhibits a lower M/L of 0.4+/-0.2 M_sun/L_sun, which supports previous findings of enhanced starburst activity in the nuclear and circumnuclear region.

Here we present the results obtained with the IBIS and SPI instruments. The burst had a time profile with a single peak lasting about 6 s. The peak spectrum can be described by a single power law with photon index $Γ$=1.6$\pm$0.1 and flux $\sim$3.7 photons cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ (20 - 200 keV). The fluence in the same energy range is 9$\times10^{-7}$ erg cm$^{-2}$. Time resolved spectroscopy performed with IBIS/ISGRI shows a clear hard to soft evolution of the spectrum.

title: What Does Downward Nominal-Wage Rigidity Imply for Monetary Policy?
Creators: name: Hogan, Seamus
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1997

description: A recent paper has suggested there might be a trade-off between inflation and unemployment at low inflation rates and this has led some economists to recommend that Canada increase its inflation rate. Underlying this view is the idea that, because firms are reluctant to cut workers' nominal wages, a moderate amount of inflation can be used to facilitate needed reductions in real wages. This paper discusses the link from downward nominal-wage rigidity to unemployment and considers some of the issues that need to be addressed to determine whether a change in Canada's monetary policy is warranted.
description: Un article publié récemment avance une hypothèse susceptible d'expliquer l'existence d'un arbitrage entre le chômage et l'inflation lorsque celle-ci est faible. Certains économistes en ont conclu que les autorités canadiennes devraient permettre une hausse du taux d'inflation. Selon l'hypothèse avancée, comme les entreprises hésitent à réduire les salaires nominaux, la présence d'une inflation modérée pourrait faciliter la diminution des salaires réels quand cela est nécessaire. L'auteur de l'étude analyse le lien entre la rigidité à la baisse des salaires nominaux et le chômage et examine certaines des questions qui doivent être réglées afin d'établir si une modification de la politique monétaire est justifiée.

description: Using information on the cosmic X-ray background and the cumulative light of active galactic nuclei at infrared wavelengths, the estimated local mass density of galactic massive black holes (MBHs) and published AGN composite spectra in the optical, UV and X-ray, we compute the characteristic angular-integrated, broad-band spectral energy distribution of the average quasar in the universe. We demonstrate that the radiation from such sources can photoionize and Compton heat the plasma surrounding them up to an equilibrium Compton temperature (Tc) of 2x10^7 K. It is shown that circumnuclear obscuration cannot significantly affect the net gas Compton heating and cooling rates, so that the above Tc value is approximately characteristic of both obscured and unobscured quasars. This temperature is above typical gas temperatures in elliptical galaxies and just above the virial temperatures of giant ellipticals. The general results of this work can be used for accurate calculations of the feedback effect of MBHs on both their immediate environs and the more distant interstellar medium of their host galaxies.

description: The seafood market has changed substantially in recent decades, becoming increasingly globalized. This has led to introduction of new species and new sources of fish in most markets. We estimate a seafood demand system that, unlike models in previous studies, accounts for potential structural shifts caused by these market changes. We investigate the impact of tilapia as a new species and China as a new source on demand for imported whitefish in the United States. The results indicate that price flexibilities change substantially over time and that the structural shift takes place over a prolonged period.
title: The Effects of Budget Rules on Fiscal Performance and Macroeconomic Stabilization
Creators: name: Millar, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1997

description: Budget rules can be defined as legislated or constitutional constraints on government deficits, taxes, expenditures, or debt. This paper reviews the budget rules recently legislated in six of Canada's provinces and both of its territories, as well as budget rules in other OECD countries. In theory, budget rules appear to be justified if their cost in terms of foregone fiscal stabilization is outweighed by benefits such as discouraging government debt accumulation and reduced risk premiums on government borrowing. Recent empirical evidence on the effectiveness of budget rules and their consequences for fiscal stabilization is examined in detail. In light of this evidence, the paper assesses the possible implications of budget-rule legislation in Canada on fiscal performance, macroeconomic stabilization, and monetary policy.
description: Les règles budgétaires peuvent être définies comme des contraintes établies par voie législative ou constitutionnelle en vue de limiter les déficits, les dépenses ou l'endettement des administrations publiques ou les impôts. L'auteur examine les lois récemment adoptées en ce sens par les assemblées législatives de six provinces canadiennes et des deux territoires, ainsi que celles en vigueur dans d'autres pays de l'OCDE. En théorie, l'adoption de règles budgétaires peut se justifier si la perte de latitude au chapitre de la stabilisation macroéconomique est contrebalancée par certains avantages (par exemple l'effet dissuasif exercé sur l'endettement de l'État et la réduction des primes de risque applicables aux emprunts publics). Les résultats empiriques d'études consacrées récemment à l'efficacité des règles budgétaires et aux répercussions de ces dernières sur les efforts de stabilisation sont analysés en détail. À la lumière de ces résultats, l'auteur évalue les conséquences que l'adoption de règles budgétaires au Canada pourrait avoir pour la gestion des finances publiques, la stabilisation macroéconomique et la politique monétaire.

Graphene oxyhydride catalysts in view of spin radical chemistry
Creators: name: Sheka, Elena F.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The article discusses carbocatalysis provided with amorphous carbons. The discussion is conducted from the standpoint of the spin chemistry of graphene molecules, in the framework of which the amorphous carbocatalysts are a conglomerate of graphene-oxynitrothiohydride stable radicals presenting the basic structural units (BSUs) of the species. The chemical activity of the BSUs atoms is reliably determined computationally, which allows mapping the distribution of active sites in these molecular catalysts. The presented maps reliably evidence the BSUs radicalization provided with carbon atoms only, the non-terminated edge part of which presents a set of active cites. Spin mapping of carbocatalysts active cites is suggested as the first step towards the spin carbocatalysis of the species.

description: We study the interplay of activity, order and flow through a set of coarse-grained equations governing the hydrodynamic velocity, concentration and stress fields in a suspension of active, energy-dissipating particles. We make several predictions for the rheology of such systems, which can be tested on bacterial suspensions, cell extracts with motors and filaments, or artificial machines in a fluid. The phenomena of cytoplasmic streaming, elastotaxis and active mechanosensing find natural explanations within our model.

Gamma Ray Astronomy With IceCube

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We demonstrate that the South Pole kilometer-scale neutrino observatory IceCube can detect multi-TeV gamma rays continuously over a large fraction of the southern sky. While not as sensitive as pointing atmospheric Cerenkov telescopes, IceCube can roughly match the sensitivity of Milagro. Also, IceCube is complementary to Milagro because it will observe, without interruption, a relatively poorly studied fraction of the southern sky. The information which IceCube must record to function as a gamma ray observatory is only the directions and possibly energies of down-going muons.

description: Policymakers are concerned about nitrogen and phosphorus export to water bodies. Exports may be reduced by paying farmers to adopt practices to reduce runoff or by paying performance incentives tied to estimated run-off reductions. We evaluate the cost-effectiveness of practice and performance incentives for reducing nitrogen exports. Performance incentives potentially improve farm-level and allocative efficiencies relative to practice incentives. However, the efficiency improvements can be undermined by baseline shifts when growers adopt crops that enhance the performance payments but cause more pollution. Policymakers must carefully specify rules for performance-incentive programs and payments to avoid such baseline shifting.

description: Bitter decoration and magneto-optical studies reveal that in heavy-ion irradiated superconductors, a 'porous' vortex matter is formed when vortices outnumber columnar defects (CDs). In this state ordered vortex crystallites are embedded in the 'pores' of a rigid matrix of vortices pinned on CDs. The crystallites melt through a first-order transition while the matrix remains solid. The melting temperature increases with density of CDs and eventually turns into a continuous transition. At high temperatures a sharp kink in the melting line is found, signaling an abrupt change from crystallite melting to melting of the rigid matrix.

description: Possibility of increase of transformer ratio TR in the case of the profiled sequence of bunches at their injection in a two-beam electron-positron dielectric-resonator collider is considered. Unlike considered earlier the waveguide case, for which TR is equal to the doubled number of bunches of sequence which provide a contribution to the total wakefield, and which is limited by the effect of the group velocity, in a resonator this limitation is absent. For deri-vation in the case of resonator of TR, proportional to the number of bunches, as well as in the waveguide, the ratio of bunch charges is selected to be equal 1:3:5: ..., lengths of bunches, equal to the half of wavelength, interval be-tween bunches is multiple to the wavelength. The effect of transition radiation and dispersion spreading on the transformer ratio is studied by numerical simulation.

description: Farm-to-hospital (FTH) programs can potentially improve the economy of local communities and preserve the environment. Research on adoption of farm-to-hospital (FTH) programs is extremely limited in the agricultural and applied economics literature. Using data from our 2012 regional FTH program survey of hospital food-service directors in the Northeastern United States and from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, this study estimates a logit model to determine factors that influence a hospital’s decision to adopt an FTH program. The empirical results indicate that specific hospital characteristics and agricultural factors significantly influence a hospital’s decision to adopt.

title: Canadian Policy Analysis Model: CPAM
Creators: name: Black, Richard
name: Rose, David
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1997

description: This paper documents the structure and properties of the Canadian Policy Analysis Model (CPAM). CPAM is designed to provide a reasonably complete representation of the Canadian macro economy. It is a one-domestic-good, small-open-economy model, which features an endogenous supply side, behavioural equations for the principal components of demand, forward-looking expectations, and reaction functions for both the monetary and fiscal authorities. The model has an explicit steady state and is dynamically stable over a wide range of disturbances. CPAM is similar in many ways to the Bank of Canada's Quarterly Projection Model (QPM), and it has been calibrated to reflect QPM's dynamic properties in deterministic simulations. CPAM is smaller, however, and has been configured to simulate much faster than QPM so that stochastic simulations on a large scale are feasible.
description: Les auteurs exposent la structure et les propriétés du Modèle d'analyse des politiques (MAP), qui a été conçu pour représenter assez fidèlement l'ensemble de l'économie canadienne. Le modèle décrit une petite économie ouverte qui ne produit qu'un seul bien et où l'offre est endogène et les attentes prospectives. Il comporte des équations formalisant le comportement des principales composantes de la demande ainsi que des fonctions de réaction propres aux autorités monétaires et budgétaires. Il englobe un régime permanent explicite, et sa structure dynamique est stable pour un large éventail de chocs. Le MAP ressemble à de nombreux égards au Modèle trimestriel de prévision (MTP) de la Banque du Canada, et son étalonnage reflète les propriétés dynamiques affichées par le MTP dans le cadre de simulations déterministes. Le MAP est toutefois plus petit et, comme il se résoud bien plus rapidement que le MTP, il permet des simulations stochastiques à grande échelle.
