description: The article analyses country- and industry-specific determinants of horizontal and vertical intra-industry trade (IIT) in agri-food products between the Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovak Republic) and the European Union in the period 1999-2013. The results show that IIT is mainly of a vertical nature in the Visegrad countries, though the majority of their exports consist of low quality/value-added agri-food products to European markets. The results obtained by generalised method of moments (GMM) panel model estimations suggest that factor endowments and distance are mainly negatively related to IIT, while product differentiation was found not to foster two-way trade of quality-differentiated goods. All model runs show a negative relationship between productivity as well as foreign direct investment and IIT.

description: Russia is often considered the most prominent country to become a leader on the world grain market. However, several issues slow down Russia’s agricultural progress, for example: a lack of infrastructure and investments, unequal regional development and inefficient use of production technologies. This study therefore examines the grain production potential of Russian regions by employing a modified approach to stochastic frontier analysis that allows us to include not only production technologies, but also indicators of the country’s heterogeneity and diversity among regions. The results obtained indicate that climate conditions in combination with the level of human and institutional development, and infrastructure have significant effects on the production structure of regions and therefore should not be neglected while assessing regional policies and production potential.

description: Many studies have analysed vertical price transmission using time-series econometric procedures but vertical price transmission in the milk market in Russia has not been investigated. This paper studies vertical price transmission along the whole milk supply chain in the Russian market using the autoregressive distributed lags model. Monthly farm-gate and retail prices in Voronezh Oblast, a historically large agrarian region located to the south of Moscow, covering the period from 2002 to 2014 were used in the analysis. When estimating the vertical price transmission in the dairy market, seasonality should be taken into account. Using a cointegration technique, no empirical evidence is found for cointegration between farm-gate and retail prices. There is unidirectional Granger causality from retail to farm prices and not vice versa. The results support the assumption that price changes are not transmitted efficiently from one level to another and support the view that Russian retailers have more market power than farmers.

description: We study the differential branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry, CP-violating asymmetry, CP-violating asymmetry in the forward-backward asymmetry and polarization asymmetries of the final lepton in the B-> X_d \ell^+\ell^- decays in the context of a CP softly broken two Higgs doublet model. We analyze the dependencies of these observables on the model parameters by paying a special attention to the effects of neutral Higgs boson (NHB) exchanges and possible CP violating effects. We find that NHB effects are quite significant for the τmode. The above-mentioned observables seems to be promising as a testing ground for new physics beyond the SM, especially for the existence of the CP-violating phase in the theory.

description: Rapid adoption of Cloud computing for hosting services and its success is primarily attributed to its attractive features such as elasticity, availability and pay-as-you-go pricing model. However, the huge amount of energy consumed by cloud data centers makes it to be one of the fastest growing sources of carbon emissions. Approaches for improving the energy efficiency include enhancing the resource utilization to reduce resource wastage and applying the renewable energy as the energy supply. This work aims to reduce the carbon footprint of the data centers by reducing the usage of brown energy and maximizing the usage of renewable energy. Taking advantage of microservices and renewable energy, we propose a self-adaptive approach for the resource management of interactive workloads and batch workloads. To ensure the quality of service of workloads, a brownout-based algorithm for interactive workloads and a deferring algorithm for batch workloads are proposed. We have implemented the proposed approach in a prototype system and evaluated it with web services under real traces. The results illustrate our approach can reduce the brown energy usage by 21% and improve the renewable energy usage by 10%.

description: This article investigated the rural woman share in labor use her role and in decision-making. of the expenditure pattern of the income generated from the milk activity from Egyptian buffaloes on the conventional Egyptian farm. The analysis dealt with answering the following questions: Who receives this income? What are the channels through which this income is spent (Consumption versus investment and saving)? The study focused upon the share of the farmer’s wife, the farmer himself, both together, other adult women members and other adult men members of the household. The study relied upon cross section seasonal data generated from a purposive sample survey conducted in three villages of Governorates (Sharkia and Gharbia) in Egyptian Nile Delta, in the year 2003 to cover the agricultural Year 2002. The sampling unit was the farm household (women members and farmers). The total sample size was 150 farm households, clustered into 50 ones from each village. Each village sample was stratified by farm size classes into 3 categories (Strat

description: We investigate a microscopic origin of nonreciprocal magnon that is distinct from the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in a honeycomb antiferromagnet. The key ingredient is a symmetric anisotropic exchange interaction depending on the bond direction, which results in a valley-type nonreciprocal magnon excitations under the staggered antiferromagnetic ordering. Furthermore, we find this type of nonreciprocal magnon exhibits a peculiar magnetic-field response; the nonreciprocal direction can be manipulated by the in-plane rotating magnetic field. The obtained results can be accounted for the emergence of the magnetic toroidal multipoles.

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We study charge regulation of colloidal particles inside aqueous electrolyte solutions. To stabilize colloidal suspension against precipitation, colloidal particles are synthesized with either acidic or basic groups on their surface. In contact with water these surface groups undergo proton transfer reaction, resulting in colloidal surface charge. The charge is determined by the condition of local chemical equilibrium between hydronium ions inside the solution and at the colloidal surface. We use a model of Baxter sticky spheres to explicitly calculate the equilibrium dissociation constants and to construct a theory which is able to quantitatively predict the effective charge of colloidal particles with either acidic or basic surface groups. The predictions of the theory for the model are found to be in excellent agreement with the results of Monte Carlo simulations. The theory is further extended to treat colloidal particles with a mixture of both acidic and basic surface groups.

description: In this study, evolution of land mortgage as a means to secure credit and its consequences particularly on land transfer and landlessness have been discussed using historical data and also purposively collected field data from a sample of 383 farm households. It has been shown that marginal land holders loose land and become landless while large land holders accumulate this land primarily through land mortgage. It has been concluded that reduction of the rate of growth in landlessness will require, among other things, special regulations banning land mortgage to obtain credit and availability of credit for freeing mortgaged land.

description: We develop a method to compute inclusive semi-leptonic decay rate of hadrons fully non-perturbatively using lattice QCD simulations. The sum over all possible final states is achieved by a calculation of the forward-scattering matrix elements on the lattice, and the phase-space integral is evaluated using their dependence on the time separation between two inserted currents. We perform a pilot lattice computation for the B_s -> X_c l nu decay with an unphysical bottom quark mass and compare the results with the corresponding OPE calculation. The method to treat the inclusive processes on the lattice can be applied to other processes, such as the lepton-nucleon inelastic scattering.

description: Das wiederholte Auftreten von Lebensmittelskandalen und lebensmittelbedingten Erkrankungen hat das Verbrauchervertrauen in die Lebensmittelsicherheit und die für die Überwachung zuständigen Behörden nachhaltig erschüttert. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden weltweit zunehmend Transparenzsysteme als innovative Form zur Verhaltenssteuerung der Unternehmer genutzt, um die Gesetzestreue zu erhöhen. Um beurteilen zu können, welche Regulierungsstrategien sich als effektiv erweisen können, ist ein umfassendes Verständnis der Determinanten die das Verhalten tatsächlich beeinflussen nötig. In dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir den Einfluss von materiellen und immateriellen Determinanten, im Kontext von verpflichtenden Transparenzsystemen im Lebensmittelbereich, auf unternehmerisches Entscheidungsverhalten. Eine solche Analyse ist gerade vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Diskussion um Transparenzsysteme in Deutschland von besonderer Bedeutung. Um die Wirkung der sog. „Smileysysteme“ bewerten zu können, haben wir eine empirische Untersuchung unter Lebensmittelunternehmen in Berlin Pankow, Lichtenberg und Marzahn-Hellersdorf durchgeführt, da dort ein deutschlandweit einmaliges Pilotprojekt, der verpflichtenden Veröffentlichungen der Ergebnisse der behördlichen Kontrollen, eingeführt wurde. Mit Hilfe eines Generalized Ordered Logit Modells wird der Einfluss der Verhaltensdeterminanten auf die Gesetzestreue (als abhängige Variable), in Abhängigkeit von der Art des Lebensmittelunternehmens (handelt es sich um Restaurants oder nicht), bestimmt. Wir finden wenige Determinanten die sich unabhängig von der Unternehmensart förderlich auf die Gesetzestreue der Unternehmer auswirken. Faktoren deren Wirkungen abhängig von der Art des Unternehmens variieren dominieren in unserem Modell. Nur eine Variable wirkt für alle Unternehmensgruppen und Unternehmer gleichartig in eine Richtung. In unserem Modell ist das Gefühl der Fairness/Angemessenheit des erhaltenen Smileys für alle Unternehmen ein positiv signifikanter Einflussfaktor auf die Gesetzestreue. Für alle Unternehmen gilt, umso fairer die erhaltene Bewertung (in Form des Smileys) empfunden wird, umso höher ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Gesetzestreue.

description: The discovery of a luminous radio burst, FRB 200428, with properties similar to those of fast radio bursts (FRB), in coincidence with an X-ray flare from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154, supports magnetar models for cosmological FRBs. The burst's X-ray to radio fluence ratio, as well as the X-ray spectral shape and peak energy, are consistent with FRB 200428 being the result of an ultra-relativistic shock (powered, e.g., by an ejected plasmoid) propagating into a magnetized baryon-rich external medium; the shock simultaneously generates X-ray/gamma-rays via thermal synchrotron emission from electrons heated behind the shock, and coherent radio emission via the synchrotron maser mechanism. Here, we point out that a unique consequence of this baryon-loaded shock scenario is the generation of a coincident burst of high-energy neutrinos, generated by photo-hadronic interaction of relativistic ions - heated or accelerated at the shock - with thermal synchrotron photons. We estimate the properties of these neutrino burst FRB counterparts and find that a fraction ~1e-8-1e-5 of the flare energy (or ~1e-4-0.1 of the radio isotropic energy) is channeled into production of neutrinos with typical energies ~ TeV-PeV. We conclude by discussing prospects for detecting this signal with IceCube and future high-energy neutrino detectors.

description: The water footprint (WF) of national wheat production has been previously estimated for Tajikistan in regional (Central Asia) and global-scale studies. However, due to the large scale, those reports may provide a general view of the country's wheat production water usage, which can not fully identify the regional demand on water resources. The aim of this study is to estimate the green and blue water use of wheat irrigated crop in Tajikistan (1980-2015). The results were evaluated by comparison with previous documented results for the WF of wheat production in Tajikistan. We compared the water use for product (t/ha) among four regions and analyzed the water consumption by dekhkan (peasant) farms, households and agriculture enterprises in 2015. The National WF of wheat production for the period 1980-2015 were approximately 990.6 Mm3/yr (34.3% green and 65.7% blue). There is a notable difference among regions: the WF is low in the eastern region, while it is relatively high in Khatlon region i.e. Southern Tajikistan. The major portion of WF (61.4%) comes from dekhkan farms (DF), while agriculture enterprises (AE) with households (H) are share 38.6 % of the country total water utilization. Blue water (BW) dominates in the four regions, whereas highest BW proportions are found in the districts located in Central and Southern Tajikistan. Productivity plays an important role in food production by reducing the WF of crop (wheat) production. Due to the low irrigation efficiency, more water is needed or has been consumed per-hectare in farmlands of Sughd region.
WF calculated according to the Aldaya and Hoekstra (2011) methodology. Crop water requirement is calculated based on the CROPWAT model outputs. Daily reference evapotranspiration (Penn Man- Montheith) were estimated in CROPWAT as well.
Statistical data on the annual crop yield, productivity and total seeded area, as well as on the distribution of the agricultural land between/among DF, AE and H in four regions, were referenced from the country statistical yearbooks (https://stat.tj). Crop coefficients planting and harvesting dates for the different regions are obtained from FAO. The meteorological data on temperature, precipitation (1980-2015), humidity, wind speed and sun duration (2000-2015) were provided by the National Meteorological Agency (https://meteo.tj).

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: Die intensive landwirtschaftliche Tierproduktion gerät seit einigen Jahren hinsichtlich ihrer Tierwohlstandards immer wieder in die öffentliche Kritik. Teile der Gesellschaft wünschen sich ein Mehr an Tierwohl und es gibt eine zunehmende Zahl an Verbrauchern, die Fleisch aus tiergerechteren Haltungssystemen den Vorzug geben. Allerdings sind Produkte aus reinen Tierwohlprogrammen im deutschen Markt bislang kaum vertreten. Landwirte gelten vor die-sem Hintergrund als entscheidende Stakeholder-Gruppe bei der erfolgreichen Implementie-rung von Tierwohlprogrammen. Bislang wurde für Deutschland allerdings noch nicht umfas-send untersucht, welche Einstellung Landwirte zu Tierwohl und Tierwohlprogrammen haben und wie ihre grundsätzliche Teilnahmebereitschaft an derartigen Programmen ist. In der vor-liegenden Studie sind deswegen 1.025 Landwirte mittels einer Online-Umfrage befragt wor-den. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Landwirte eine sehr differenzierte Wahrnehmung des The-mas Tierwohl haben. Es konnten fünf Landwirtgruppen (Cluster) identifiziert werden, welche Tierwohlprogrammen unterschiedlich aufgeschlossen gegenüberstehen. Auf Basis der ermittel-ten Cluster lassen sich verschiedene Zielgruppen für die Teilnahme an Tierwohlprogrammen ableiten.
Effects of bioadditive with yeast and zeolite on the performance and odor emission from poultry manure composting process
Creators: name: Wen, Zhiping (Simon)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Objectives of this thesis research are to determine the effectiveness of the bioadditive in reducing odor emissions, to delineate the circumstances or operating conditions under which the bioadditive would be effective, and to determine how the use of the bioadditive would affect the thermal performance of the composting process and the finished compost product. In tests performed using small bioreactors, the high dosage of the bioadditive at 10% w/w resulted in consistently greater odor removal efficiency, when compared to the low dosage at 1% w/w. However, for larger enclosed bioreactors, the bioadditive did not significantly reduce the odor levels in comparison with the control treatment. With pre-drying of the poultry manure, the bioadditive led to greater odor removal versus the control treatment on Day 2, but the reverse trend was observed and odor levels became significantly higher on Days 4 and 8 for the bioadditive treatment. Hence, pre-drying of poultry manure was not effective in eliminating the odorous volatile organic compounds from the manure, thus resulting in an increase in odor emission after the initial two days of composting. Inocula in the form of recycled compost, with previous bioadditive enhancement during the curing phase of the composting process, induced greater odor removal efficiencies, but again only up to Day 2 relative to the control treatment, which used the inocula but without previous bioadditive enhancement. Nevertheless, both experimental treatments demonstrated a significant reduction of odors, versus the treatment without using recycled compost at all as inocula, thus reaffirming the fact that recycled compost could be very effective in odor control for composting. The bioadditive had similar effects on odor removal efficiencies when poultry manure was co-composted with biosolids, versus using manure alone as the composting substrate. The thermal performance of the composting process was improved with the application of the bioadditive. The treatment with higher dosage reached thermophilic temperatures sooner than the other treatments and the high temperatures stayed for a longer time period. Similarly, treatments with bioadditive-enhanced inocula had consistently better thermal performance. Composting without pre-drying of manure was also observed to perform better than that with the manure undergoing a pre-drying process. Higher seed germination index was observed for the compost product with the application of the bioadditive, implying that it is beneficial for compost maturation.

description: The gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows provide an unique opportunity to study the interstellar medium (ISM) of star-forming galaxies at high-redshift. The GRB-DLAs (damped Lyman-$α$ absorbers) contain a large neutral hydrogen column density, N(H I), and are observed against the GRB afterglow. A large fraction of GRB-DLAs show presence of molecular hydrogen (H$_2$) which is an indicator of star-formation. Hence it is important to study those GRB-DLAs which have H$_2$ lines to decipher and understand their physical conditions. The GRB-DLAs 121024A and 120815A, situated at redshift 2.30 and 2.36 respectively, are two such important H$_2$-bearing GRB-DLAs. Besides H$_2$, these two GRB-DLAs also show many metal lines. In this work we have carried out a detail numerical study on the H$_2$ lines, as well as on those metal lines, in GRB-DLAs 121024A and 120815A self-consistently. We use the spectral synthesis code CLOUDY for this study. This modeling helps us to determine the underlying physical conditions which give rise such lines and hence to understand these two GRB-DLAs in much more detail than any other previous investigation. We find that the hydrogen densities for these two H$_2$-bearing DLAs are $\geq$ 60 cm$^{-3}$. Moreover our study infers that the linear sizes are $\leq 17.7$ pc for these two GRB-DLAs, and the mean gas temperatures averaged over the cloud thickness, are $\leq$ 140 K.

Farm trees are considered ‘keystone structures’ of agroecosystems because of their disproportionally large ecological value (relative to their low abundance), but are threatened by agricultural intensification, land abandonment, and urbanization. While the preservation of farm trees is a component of several command-and control approaches and while numerous payment schemes for ecosystem services (PES schemes) provided through agricultural practices do in general exist, there are few incentive-based policies that specifically target the conservation of farm trees. This paper uses an institutional economics framework for the analysis of PES schemes that enhance the establishment, protection, and management of farm trees. Using the German state of Saxony as a case, it elaborates on the reasons for the very reluctant participation of farmers in these schemes. The obstacles identified include high production and opportunity costs, contractual uncertainties, and land tenure implications. Further, since scheme adoption has been low compared with the total area covered by the respective farm tree types, the PES schemes alone cannot explain the substantial increase in number and size of some farm-tree types. Options to improve participation comprise regionalised premiums, result-oriented remuneration, and cooperative approaches. The example of PES schemes for farm trees highlights one of the major challenges for the protection and preservation of cultural landscapes : they are man-made and thus need to be preserved, managed, and maintained continuously.

description: An atom Michelson interferometer is implemented on an "atom chip." The chip uses lithographically patterned conductors and external magnetic fields to produce and guide a Bose-Einstein condensate. Splitting, reflecting, and recombining of condensate atoms are achieved by a standing-wave light field having a wave vector aligned along the atom waveguide. A differential phase shift between the two arms of the interferometer is introduced by either a magnetic-field gradient or with an initial condensate velocity. Interference contrast is still observable at 20% with atom propagation time of 10 ms.

description: The type III secretion system with its delivered type III effectors (T3Es) is one of the main virulence determinants of Ralstonia solanacearum, a worldwide devastating plant pathogenic bacterium affecting many crop species. The pan-effectome of the R. solanacearum species complex has been exhaustively identified and is composed of more than 100 different T3Es. Among the reported strains, their content range from 45 to 76 T3Es. This considerably large and varied effectome could be considered one of the factors contributing to R. solanacearum wide host range. In order to understand how R. solanacearum uses its T3Es to subvert the host cellular processes, many functional studies have been conducted over the last three decades. It has been shown that R. solanacearum effectors, as those from other plant pathogens, can supress the plant defence mechanisms, modulate the host metabolism or avoid the bacterial recognition through a wide variety of molecular mechanisms. R. solanacearum T3Es can also be perceived by the plant and trigger immune responses. Up to date, the molecular mechanisms employed by R. solanacearum T3Es to modulate these host processes have been described for a growing number of T3Es, although remain unknown for the majority of them. In this microreview, we summarize and discuss the current knowledge on the characterized R. solanacearum species complex T3Es.

description: Effective quantum communication between remote quantum nodes requires high fidelity quantum state transfer and remote entanglement generation. Recent experiments have demonstrated that microwave photons, as well as phonons, can be used to couple superconducting qubits, with a fidelity limited primarily by loss in the communication channel. Adiabatic protocols can overcome channel loss by transferring quantum states without populating the lossy communication channel. Here we present a unique superconducting quantum communication system, comprising two superconducting qubits connected by a 0.73 m-long communication channel. Significantly, we can introduce large tunable loss to the channel, allowing exploration of different entanglement protocols in the presence of dissipation. When set for minimum loss in the channel, we demonstrate an adiabatic quantum state transfer protocol that achieves 99% transfer efficiency as well as the deterministic generation of entangled Bell states with a fidelity of 96%, all without populating the intervening communication channel, and competitive with a qubit-resonant mode-qubit relay method. We also explore the performance of the adiabatic protocol in the presence of significant channel loss, and show that the adiabatic protocol protects against loss in the channel, achieving higher state transfer and entanglement fidelities than the relay method.

description: Recently, black hole thermodynamics and phase transition have been studied in the extended phase space. Besides the VdW-like phase transition, more interesting phase transitions were found. More interestingly, combining with the thermodynamic geometry, the microstructure of black holes was investigated.In this paper, we give a brief review of recent progress on this subject.

description: Like agricultural trade, deforestation has increased tremendously throughout the past five decades. We analyse the linkage between both factors by applying trade and forest policy scenarios to the global land-use model MAgPIE ("Model of Agricultural Production and its Impact on the Environment"). The model predicts global landuse patterns in a spatially explicit way and uses endogenously derived technological change and land expansion rates. Our study is the first which combines global trade analysis with a spatially explicit mapping of deforestation. By implementing self-sufficiency rates in the regional demand and supply equations, we are able to simulate different trade settings. Our baseline scenario fixes current trade patterns until the year 2045. The three liberalisation scenarios assume a path of increasing trade liberalisation which ends with no trade barriers in 2045 and they differ by applying different forest protection policies. Regions with comparative advantages like Latin America for oilcrops and China for cereals will export more. Whereas, Latin America will buy this competitiveness by converting large parts of its Amazonian rainforest into cropland, China will benefit most due to its decreasing food demand after 2025. In contrast, regions like the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia face the highest increases of imports. Forest protection policies lead to higher technological change rates. In absence of such policies, investments in agricultural Research & Development are the most effective way for protecting the forest.

description: We obtain rotating black hole solutions to the novel 3D Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity recently proposed. These solutions generalize the BTZ metric and are not of constant curvature. They possess an ergoregion and outer horizon, but do not have an inner horizon. We present their basic properties and show that they break the universality of thermodynamics present for their static charged counterparts, whose properties we also discuss. Extending our considerations to higher dimensions, we also obtain novel 4D Gauss-Bonnet rotating black strings.

description: Bothriceps australis Huxley, 1859 -BM(NH) R23110 According to Watson (1956) this specimen was bought by the British Museum in 1948 from a person of whom nothing is known and was said to have been found in " Australia ". Watson considered that the structure of Bothriceps australis suggested that it was as early as, or earlier than, Bothriceps major (discussed below) and subsequent authors have followed Watson in assigning it a Late Permian age. The evidence for this conclusion is tenuous and an Early Triassic age is more likely than Permian. The specimen shows several grade characters common to Mesozoic temnospondyls, such as the loss of the supraoccipital, basioccipital and opisthotic from the occiput, and the presence of a firm suture between the pterygoid and the parasphenoid. Stratigraphic position. Unknown. A label associated with the specimen says it is from the "Hawkesbury Beds (Permian)". This was probably an educated guess but could well be correct except that the Hawkesbury Sandstone of the Sydney Basin is now early Middle Triassic.
