Year: 2021

description: AbstractPurpose: The purpose of this project was to introduce healthcare workers, who provide care for people living with HIV, to mindfulness-based interventions as a mechanism to cope with compassion fatigue.Methodology: The project utilized a pretest-posttest survey design to evaluate the impact of MBIs on compassion fatigue. The Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL-5) scale and a post- intervention survey were the tools used to measure the outcomes of the study. Identical ProQOL- 5 surveys were administered prior to the start of implementing the mindfulness-based interventions and following implementation. Mindfulness-based interventions were administered over a six-week time frame at a long-term care/rehabilitation faculty in northern, NJ.Results: There were no significant changes shown in burnout and secondary trauma stress. There was a significant increase found in the levels of compassion satisfaction The majority of the people that used the mindfulness app reported that they found it to be beneficial and would use it in the future.Implications: There are implications that incorporating mindfulness will yield economic/cost benefits in healthcare. These benefits include a reduction of costs related to employee mental health, employee physical health, decreased employee retention, and poor quality of care delivered to patients. Policies should be incorporated that promote awareness of compassion fatigue and management. Promoting management tools for compassion fatigue, such as mindfulness, will help to improve professional quality of life and individual self-care.

description: We study the large-scale angular correlation signatures of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature fluctuations from WMAP data in several spherical cap regions of the celestial sphere, outside the Kp0 or Kp2 cut-sky masks. We applied a recently proposed method to CMB temperature maps, which permits an accurate analysis of their angular correlations in the celestial sphere through the use of normalized histograms of the number of pairs of such objects with a given angular separation versus their angular separation. The method allows for a better comparison of the results from observational data with the expected CMB angular correlations of a statistically isotropic Universe, computed from Monte Carlo maps according to the WMAP best-fit Lambda CDM model. We found that the, already known, anomalous lack of large-scale power in full-sky CMB maps are mainly due to missing angular correlations of quadrupole-like signature. This result is robust with respect to frequency CMB maps and cut-sky masks. Moreover, we also confirm previous results regarding the unevenly distribution in the sky of the large-scale power of WMAP data. In a bin-to-bin correlations analyses, measured by the full covariance matrix chi^2 statistic, we found that the angular correlations signatures in opposite Galactic hemispheres are anomalous at the 98%-99% confidence level.

description: In an effort to bolster confidence and protect the nation the U.S. government through agencies like the Department of Homeland Security is identifying vulnerabilities and evolving strategies for protection. Agricultural food supply is one identified vulnerable area, and animal disease defense is one of the major concerns there under. Should an outbreak of animal disease occur, it is likely to have a mass slaughter and disposal of animal carcasses. The current existing policy, mainly including slaughter policy and strict movement bans, may be not sufficient to control disease spread at reasonable cost. We address the issue modeling vaccination as a supporting strategy with later slaughter of animals and argue that vaccination can decrease slaughter and disposal cost in the case of emergency. Our results show that (a) Vaccination gains time to slow down the flow of slaughter, thereafter the disposal operation of animal carcasses. By smoothing slaughter/disposal flow, vaccination likely decreases slaughter and disposal cost; (b) Vaccination likely reduce the total amount of slaughter and disposal of animals mainly because vaccinated animals shed less and disease spread slower; and (c) Vaccination becomes more valuable in reducing slaughter and disposal costs when the marginal cost of vaccination falls, the even size of disease outbreak is larger, the disease is more contagious and spreads faster, and/or vaccines are more effective in controlling disease spread.

description: We consider regular lattices of coupled chaotic maps. Depending on lattice size, there may exist a window in parameter space where complete synchronization is eventually attained after a transient regime. Close outside this window, an intermittent transition to synchronization occurs. While asymptotic transversal Lyapunov exponents allow to determine the synchronization threshold, the distribution of finite-time Lyapunov exponents, in the vicinity of the critical frontier, is expected to provide relevant information on phenomena such as intermittency. In this work we scrutinize the distribution of finite-time exponents when the local dynamics is ruled by the logistic map $x \mapsto 4x(1-x)$. We obtain a theoretical estimate for the distribution of finite-time exponents, that is markedly non-Gaussian. The existence of correlations, that spoil the central limit approximation, is shown to modify the typical intermittent bursting behavior. The present scenario could apply to a wider class of systems with different local dynamics and coupling schemes.

description: We develop a simulation model to analyze the effects on U.S. milk markets of an Australia-U.S. free trade agreement. An important contribution to the literature is the derivation of explicit supply and demand relationships for milk components, which allows an analysis of long-term production, consumption, and trade patterns that is not tied to specific products. Simulations indicate that increased imports from Australia, resulting from bilateral trade liberalization, would result in modest reductions in U.S. milk prices and production.

description: We report the experimental observation of novel vortex patterns in a vertically tapped granular media. Depending on the tapping acceleration two behaviors are observed. For high acceleration a convection vortex appears in the whole media whereas for low acceleration two unstable vortices appear in the upper part of the media and slowly compact the lower part. We explain the formation of the vortices and relate them to granular convection. Our results demonstrate the importance of compression waves propagation on granular compaction.

The earliest study included items both of women's wear and of household furnishings. The present survey, made 3 ½ years later, is limited to household furnishings. It is hoped that the data presented here will be of assistance to administrative and research programs designed to maintain and increase the utilization of the natural fibers. It would seem that to be successful such programs must take into consideration consumers' opinions and habits. Aside from its use in such basic research, the information included here is expected to be of value to retailers, wholesalers, fabricators, distributors, processors, and those engaged in educational programs for consumers.

description: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires state transportation agencies to submit a biennial report on local highway finances. The purpose of these reports is to provide FHWA with the data it needs to capture the financing of highway activities at the local level. Based on this information, it can identify trends in revenue, expenditures, investments, and program development, and in turn make decisions about future investments. The report, FHWA-536, asks agencies to report on four areas of local highway finance: 1) disposition of highway-user revenues; 2) revenues used for roads and streets identified by source and funding type; 3) road and street expenditures identified by purpose of activity; and 4) local highway debt status. This document summarizes data submitted to fulfill the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s FHWA-536 obligations in FY 2019. The table below presents itemized revenues and expenditures in each of the four areas of local highway finance listed above.

Total receipts were $572,773,641, an increase of $128,136,745 over FY 2017. Total disbursements were $660,285,943, an increase of $115,307,524 over FY 2017.

description: Purpose of Project: The purpose of this DNP project was to develop a pilot program development and focused evaluation for WLWH using quantitative and qualitative participant feedback to evaluate and revise the program.Methodology: The project type was a program development and evaluation, that translated evidence into a new population-based practice initiative, implemented the process, and evaluated the effectiveness of the process for utility and feasibility. The program was revised based on quantitative and qualitative methods. Results: The pilot program for WLWH and menopause was implemented in September of 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all presentation and data collection was done electronically. Participants were given two weeks to complete the post presentation surveys. A total of eight participants were recruited and completed the intervention. The sample consisted of individuals who were established experts in HIV nursing care, nurses in HIV care clinics or who have experience taking care of PWLH, or direct patient healthcare providers, such as nurse practitioners, caring for PLWH. All participants were English-speaking and over the age of 18 years old. Participants completed the demographics survey, watched the PowerPoint presentation with voiceover, and completed the participant reaction survey to determine if the program had the potential to improve patient’s knowledge about HIV and menopause, their intention to communicate with healthcare practitioners, and if the presentation was appropriate for WLWH.Implications for Practice:The development and evaluation of a program for WLWH and menopause supports the biopsychosocial model of delivering clinical practice, strengthens patient-clinician relationships, reduces health disparities, and does not increase economic burden.

description: A search for a new charged particle $\text{X}$ with mass between 0.3 and 2.0$~\mathrm{TeV}$ decaying to a W boson and a photon using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of $13~\mathrm{TeV}$, collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $138~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$, is presented. Particle $\text{X}$ has electric charge $\pm1$ and is assumed to have spin 0. The search is performed using the electron and muon decays of the W boson. No significant excess above the predicted background is observed. The upper limit at $95\%$ confidence level on the product of the $\text{X}$ production cross section and its branching fraction to a W boson and a photon is found to be 94 (137)$~\mathrm{fb}$ for a $0.3~\mathrm{TeV}$ resonance and 0.75 (0.81)$~\mathrm{fb}$ for a $2.0~\mathrm{TeV}$ resonance, for an $\text{X}$ width-to-mass ratio of 0.01$\%$ (5$\%$). A statistical combination with an earlier study based on the hadronic decay mode of the W boson is also performed, and the upper limit at 95$\%$ confidence level for a 2.0$~\mathrm{TeV}$ resonance is reduced to 0.50 (0.63)$~\mathrm{fb}$ for an $\text{X}$ width-to-mass ratio of 0.01$\%$ (5$\%$).
TRACEABILITY AND IDENTITY PRESERVATION POLICY: PRIVATE INITIATIVES VS. PUBLIC INTERVENTION

Subjects: Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: Firms within the food supply chain must decide what information to provide and how to provide it. This applies to collecting information from upstream suppliers as well as to supplying information to downstream customers. Components of this vertical information situation include farmer supplier identity preservation to capture value and the buyer information needs concerning geographic location of production or seller identity in order to manage risk. A policy question is raised as to how vertical information flow; in the form of segregation, traceability, or identity preservation, should be accomplished. This question has recently come to the policy forefront through European labeling/traceability issues, the Canadian BSE incident, Country of Origin Labeling legislation, and biosecurity concerns. The US food industry often contends that mandated macro government systems (e.g. full traceability systems, animal passports, ISO 9000) would be misplaced and ineffective. They point to the tremendous private quality control systems, already in place in the industry. Though the industry's quality systems may not be in the public domain as in Europe, they are nonetheless present. The argument continues that proprietary systems contribute to a firm's competitive advantage and mandating a system would distort investment and incentives. Within this classic debate about public policy versus private strategies is a fundamental question about the role of commodities in the economy. Are they an inferior form of market development whereby the natural and preferred tendency is for supply to differentiate? Put another way is the economy better off with differentiated or undifferentiated (commodity) basic inputs? This article contributes to the policy debate by discussing why and how commodities many times are preferred by end users and thereby a signal of a properly performing economy not a market "failure." The discussion will also shed light on why farmer premiums remain low and how greater value can be created at the production stage.

description: During the last ten years a detailed investigation of preheating was performed for chaotic inflation and for hybrid inflation. However, nonperturbative effects during reheating in the new inflation scenario remained practically unexplored. We do a full analysis of preheating in new inflation, using a combination of analytical and numerical methods. We find that the decay of the homogeneous component of the inflaton field and the resulting process of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the simplest models of new inflation usually occurs almost instantly: for the new inflation on the GUT scale it takes only about 5 oscillations of the field distribution. The decay of the homogeneous inflaton field is so efficient because of a combined effect of tachyonic preheating and parametric resonance. At that stage, the homogeneous oscillating inflaton field decays into a collection of waves of the inflaton field, with a typical wavelength of the order of the inverse inflaton mass. This stage usually is followed by a long stage of decay of the inflaton field into other particles, which can be described by the perturbative approach to reheating after inflation. The resulting reheating temperature typically is rather low.

description: A core element of the recent Common Agricultural Policy reform is to decouple payments that are merely linked to production from 2005 on. These subsidies are classified as environmentally harmful by OECD. An agricultural sector model, using a modified version of the positive mathematical programming method, depicts the political, natural, and structural complexity of Austrian farming. Environmental effects of indicators that are linked to production and management measures are estimated. Simulation results show that the recent CAP reform will not only reduce the cost of production, but also improve the environmental condition of natural resources.

description: Spatial accessibility is concerned with the opportunity that an individual at a given location possesses to participate in a particular activity or set of activities. The main objective of this paper is to highlight the shortcomings of traditional accessibility measures and provide some appropriate methodological suggestions for their improvement. Traditional measures derived from cumulative opportunities and gravity models focus on physical proximity leaving out individual and spatial attributes as potential explanatory variable. The improvement through random utility theory relies mainly on Multinomial logit models under Independently and Identically Distributed (IID) and individual response homogeneity assumptions that often do not hold in case of choices involving spatial units. In this paper we briefly present the process of relaxing MNL assumptions. Using the MNL, Nested logit (NL), and Mixed Multinomial logit (MMNL) models we derive related accessibility measures. The application of MNL, NL and MMNL on choice model of residential location underlines possible consequences of a misspecification of the distribution of the error term and that of model parameters. The results clearly suggest that a decision process can be corrupted, and therefore lead to erroneous policy measures because of model misspecification.

description: We used 1627 faint (15.5< R<23) stars in five fields of the Calar Alto Deep Imaging Survey (CADIS) to estimate the structure parameters of the Galaxy. The results were derived by applying two complementary methods: first by fitting the density distribution function to the measured density of stars perpendicular to the Galactic plane, and second by modelling the observed colors and apparent magnitudes of the stars in the field, using Monte Carlo simulations. The best-fitting model of the Galaxy is then determined by minimising the C-statistic, a modified chisquared. Our model includes a double exponential for the stellar disk with scaleheights h_1 and h_2 and a power law halo with exponent alpha. 24480 different parameter combinations have been simulated. Both methods yield consistent results: the best fitting parameter combination is alpha=3.0 (or alpha=2.5, if we allow for a flattening of the halo with an axial ratio of (c/a)=0.6), h_1=300 pc, h_2=900 pc, and the contribution of thick disk stars to the disk stars in the solar neighbourhood is found to be between 4 and 10%.

description: Excerpts from the report: Price instability has long characterized the market for citrus fruits. The citrus industry has recognized the need for minimizing abrupt changes in price. Grower and shipper organizations have made progress in developing quality standards, and regulated distribution of their product through marketing agreements. Improvements have been made in packing, handling, and sales promotion. In addition, continuous research in the physical sciences has improved the quality of citrus fruits and led to the development of important processed products. Despite the efforts of these groups, abrupt price fluctuations, both within seasons and interseasonally, continue to occur. Pittsburgh and Cleveland are important markets for both California and Florida oranges. The prevailing prices, quantities sold, and varieties available during any given period in these cities depend in part upon seasonal factors, the condition of the crop, and market conditions in general. An introductory discussion of the general pattern of marketing oranges will, therefore, be helpful in analyzing the market for oranges in these two cities.

description: We have studied the Heisenberg antiferromagnets on two-dimensional frustrated lattices, triangular and kagome lattices using linear spin-wave theory. A collinear ground state ordering is possible if one of the three bonds in each triangular plaquette of the lattice becomes weaker or frustrated. We study spiral order in the Heisenberg model along with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction and in the presence of a magnetic field. The quantum corrections to the ground state energy and sublattice magnetization are calculated analytically in the case of triangular lattice with nearesr-neighbour interaction. The corrections depend on the DM interaction strength and the magnetic field. We find that the DM interaction stabilizes the long-range order, reducing the effect of quantum fluctuations. Similar conclusions are reached for the kagome lattice. We work out the linear spin-wave theory at first with only nearest-neighbour (nn) terms for the kagome lattice. We find that the nn interaction is not sufficient to remove the effects of low energy fluctuations. The flat branch in the excitation spectrum becomes dispersive on addition of furthet neighbour interactions. The ground state energy and the excitation spectrum have been obtained for various cases.

description: Dairy farms confront unique risks from weather conditions. Hot and humid weather induces heat stress, which reduces both the quantity and quality of dairy production. Traditional heat abatement technologies control the environment through ventilation, misting or evaporative cooling. Adoption of abatement equipment, however, is hindered by its high initial cost and possibly long payback period, especially for small- and medium-scale farms. Moreover, the abatement equipment is only seasonally useful as a fixed asset whose price rises with efficacy. Weather derivatives provide an alternative method of dairy farmers' risk management. Since abatement equipment can be used for many years once installed, and its maintenance costs will increase and efficacy will decrease with age, a decision that must regularly be made by a dairy farmer is when to maintain his abatement equipment and when to replace it with a new one. The decision affects both current and expected future revenues. Considering that weather derivatives can be purchased periodically, the objective of this study is twofold: first, to test the risk management value of weather derivatives for dairy plant operations; second, to examine how weather derivatives can affect dairy producers' abatement equipment decisions. In this study, we employ a dynamic programming framework to study the case that a representative dairy farmer maximizes his long-run utility using weather derivatives and abatement equipment.

description: It is proposed to measure the current noise generated in a mesoscopic conductor by macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) in a current biased Josephson junction placed in parallel to the conductor. The theoretical description of this set-up takes into account the complete dynamics of detector and noise source. Explicit results are given for the specific case of current fluctuations in an oxide layer tunnel junction, and it is shown how the device allows to extract the fourth order cumulant of the noise from the MQT data for realistic experimental parameters.

description: Equation of state for partially ionized carbon at temperatures T > ~ 10^5 K is calculated in a wide range of densities, using the method of free energy minimization in the framework of the chemical picture of plasmas. The free energy model includes the internal partition functions of bound species. The latter are calculated by a self-consistent treatment of each ionization stage in the plasma environment taking into account pressure ionization. The long-range Coulomb interactions between ions and screening of the ions by free electrons are included using our previously published analytical model.

description: Nutrition labeling does not necessarily lead to healthier diets. Consumers may substitute away from unhealthy products in food categories where differences in other quality characteristics (e.g., taste) are relatively small and towards unhealthy products in categories where differences may be large. The effects are largest among less-educated and younger individuals.

description: Considerable evidence exists for the failure of the traditional theory of quantum critical points (QCPs), pointing to the need to incorporate novel excitations. The destruction of Kondo entanglement and the concomitant critical Kondo effect may underlie these emergent excitations in heavy fermion metals -- a prototype system for quantum criticality -- but the effect remains poorly understood. Here, we show how ferromagnetic single-electron transistors can be used to study this effect. We theoretically demonstrate a gate-voltage induced quantum phase transition. The critical Kondo effect is manifested in a fractional-power-law dependence of the conductance on temperature ($T$). The AC conductance and thermal noise spectrum have related power-law dependences on frequency ($ω$) and, in addition, show an $ω/T$ scaling. Our results imply that the ferromagnetic nanostructure constitutes a realistic model system to elucidate magnetic quantum criticality that is central to the heavy fermions and other bulk materials with non-Fermi liquid behavior.

description: Since the mid 1980s, it has been recognized that significant quantities of unwanted pesticides are being retained by agricultural producers in barns and other out buildings throughout the United States. State governments have responded to the hazards posed by these pesticides by implementing programs to collect and dispose of them. This paper reviews issues related to costs and funding of pesticide collection and disposal programs. Primary and secondary information on states' approaches to and experiences with unwanted pesticide removal is presented. Differences in the theoretical impacts of various collection funding methods on reducing unwanted pesticide stocks and allocating disposal costs are discussed.

description: Excerpt from the report Preface: This report considers some problems of highway preservation as illustrated by Wisconsin’s experience in connection with the hauling of fluid dairy products. It is concerned entirely with restrictions on the weight of trucks and their application to a part of the dairy industry's transportation system. This case study is intended to help marketing economists and others to understand better the complex nature of the problems involved in the economics of highway preservation. It is hoped that Wisconsin's experience will be useful as a guide to other States in dealing with similar problems.
