description: Recent years have witnessed increasing volatility in crop prices and yields, fertilizer prices, and farm asset values. In this study, the financial performance of illustrative Midwest grain farms with different scales, tenure status, and capital structures was examined under the shocks of volatile crop prices, yields, fertilizer prices, farmland value, and cash rent. Illustrative farms of 550, 1200, and 2500 acres were constructed reflecting the production activity for these farms with three different farmland ownership structures (15%, 50%, and 85% of land owned) and two capital structures measured by debt-to-asset ratio (25% and 50%). Absolute measures and financial ratios were used to evaluate the income, cashflow, debt servicing and equity position of these illustrative farms. The “stress test” results suggest that farms with modest size (i.e. 550 acres) and a large proportion of their land rented are very vulnerable irrespective of their leverage positions. Large size farms with modest leverage (25% debt-to-asset ratio) that combine rental and ownership of the land they operated have strong financial performance and limited vulnerability to price, cost, yield, and asset value shocks. And these farms can increase their leverage positions significantly (from 25% to 50% in this study) with only modest deterioration in their financial performance and a slight increase in their vulnerability. These results suggest that the perspective that farmers are resilient to price, cost, yield and asset value shocks because of the current low use of debt in the industry (an average of approximately 10% debt-to-asset ratio for the farming sector) does not adequately recognize the financial vulnerable of many typical family farms to those shocks.

description: Management of water resources needs to jointly consider the multiple, interdependent, uses of water. Decision support tools that aim to assist efficient integrated water resources management should integrate the environmental and socio-economic systems affected by changes in resource allocation. There exist, however, few models that assess the trade-offs between environmental and economic impacts of water management changes in an integrated framework. This paper presents a hydro-economic model that integrates hydrological and ecological systems with economic costs and nonmarket benefits in a Bayesian Network modelling framework. A suite of different modelling tools were used to assess the biophysical and economic impacts of catchment management scenarios, for a case study in Tasmania, Australia. The Bayesian Network provides a flexible modelling approach to incorporate different types of data and had the advantage of explicitly accounting for accumulated uncertainty in information.

This effect is enhanced and a steady state is reached, if via an optical molasses an additional friction force is applied to the atoms. We observe the displacement of the atoms accelerated by momentum transfer in the backscattering process and interpret our observations in terms of the collective atomic recoil laser.

description: We propose an entropy measure for the analysis of chaotic attractors through recurrence networks which are un-weighted and un-directed complex networks constructed from time series of dynamical systems using specific criteria. We show that the proposed measure converges to a constant value with increase in the number of data points on the attractor (or the number of nodes on the network) and the embedding dimension used for the construction of the network, and clearly distinguishes between the recurrence network from chaotic time series and white noise. Since the measure is characteristic to the network topology, it can be used to quantify the information loss associated with the structural change of a chaotic attractor in terms of the difference in the link density of the corresponding recurrence networks. We also indicate some practical applications of the proposed measure in the recurrence analysis of chaotic attractors as well as the relevance of the proposed measure in the context of the general theory of complex networks.

description: Significant intra-observer and inter-observer variability in the interpretation of coronary angiograms are reported. This variability is in part due to the common practices that rely on performing visual inspections by specialists (e.g., the thickness of coronaries). Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA) approaches are emerging to minimize observer's error and furthermore perform predictions and analysis on angiography images. However, QCA approaches suffer from the same problem as they mainly rely on performing visual inspections by utilizing image processing techniques. In this work, we propose an approach to model and analyze the entire cardiovascular tree as a complex network derived from coronary angiography images. This approach enables to analyze the graph structure of coronary arteries. We conduct the assessments of network integration, degree distribution, and controllability on a healthy and a diseased coronary angiogram. Through our discussion and assessments, we propose modeling the cardiovascular system as a complex network is an essential phase to fully automate the interpretation of coronary angiographic images. We show how network science can provide a new perspective to look at coronary angiograms.

description: Results of choice experiment studies are widely claimed to provide valuable inputs into more efficient environmental policy development. The implicit price estimates for the attributes included in the choice experiment give policy makers an indication of the non-market values of environmental goods and services. There are, however, few standardised approaches to guide the choice of the environmental attributes. Although recent publications (Boyd and Krupnick, 2009; Johnston and Russell, 2011) stress the need to base the definition of non-market environmental attributes in ecological theory, choice experiment studies often give minimal evidence to support the choice of attributes. This paper reviews ten years’ worth of choice experiment studies in leading environmental economics journals. The aim of this study is to investigate on what basis the attributes and units used in the valuation studies were chosen, and how the survey development process is reported. The review shows that only very few published papers report the evidence sources on which the choice of attributes and their levels was based. The disjoint between evidence-based research method and the reporting of protocols in choice experiment valuation studies undermines the credibility of nonmarket value estimates to people outside the profession. There is a need for greater attention to transparent, evidence-based survey development to support more robust welfare estimates and withstand criticism.

Hydrodynamic Simulation of Supernova Remnants Including Efficient Particle Acceleration

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: A number of supernova remnants (SNRs) show nonthermal X-rays assumed to be synchrotron emission from shock accelerated TeV electrons. The existence of these TeV electrons strongly suggests that the shocks in SNRs are sources of galactic cosmic rays (CRs). In addition, there is convincing evidence from broad-band studies of individual SNRs and elsewhere that the particle acceleration process in SNRs can be efficient and nonlinear. If SNR shocks are efficient particle accelerators, the production of CRs impacts the thermal properties of the shock heated, X-ray emitting gas and the SNR evolution. We report on a technique that couples nonlinear diffusive shock acceleration, including the backreaction of the accelerated particles on the structure of the forward and reverse shocks, with a hydrodynamic simulation of SNR evolution. Compared to models which ignore CRs, the most important hydrodynamical effects of placing a significant fraction of shock energy into CRs are larger shock compression ratios and lower temperatures in the shocked gas. We compare our results, which use an approximate description of the acceleration process, with a more complete model where the full CR transport equations are solved (i.e., Berezhko et al., 2002), and find excellent agreement for the CR spectrum summed over the SNR lifetime and the evolving shock compression ratio. The importance of the coupling between particle acceleration and SNR dynamics for the interpretation of broad-band continuum and thermal X-ray observations is discussed.

Spin swap vs. double occupancy in quantum gates

description: We propose an approach to realize quantum gates with electron spins localized in a semiconductor that uses double occupancy to advantage. With a fast (non-adiabatic) time control of the tunnelling, the probability of double occupancy is first increased and then brought back exactly to zero. The quantum phase built in this process can be exploited to realize fast quantum operations. We illustrate the idea focusing on the half-swap operation, which is the key two-qubit operation needed to build a CNOT gate.

First passage time in multi-step stochastic processes with applications to dust charging

description: An approach was developed to describe the first passage time (FPT) in multistep stochastic processes with discrete states governed by a master equation (ME). The approach is an extension of the totally absorbing boundary approach given for calculation of FPT in one-step processes (Van Kampen 2007) to include multistep processes where jumps are not restricted to adjacent sites. In addition, a Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) was derived from the multistep ME, assuming the continuity of the state variable. The developed approach and an FPE based approach (Gardiner 2004) were used to find the mean first passage time (MFPT) of the transition between the negative and positive stable macrostates of dust grain charge when the charging process was bistable. The dust was in a plasma and charged by collecting ions and electrons, and emitting secondary electrons. The MFPTs for the transitioning of grain charge from one macrostate to the other were calculated by the two approaches for a range of grain sizes. Both approaches produced very similar results for the same grain except for when it was very small. The difference between MFPTs of two approaches for very small grains was attributed to the failure of the charge continuity assumption in the FPE description. For a given grain, the MFPT for a transition from the negative macrostate to the positive one was substantially larger than that for a transition in a reverse order. The normalized MFPT for a transition from the positive to the negative macrostate showed little sensitivity to the grain radius. For a reverse transition, with the increase of the grain radius, it dropped first and then increased. The probability density function of FPT was substantially wider for a transition from the positive to the negative macrostate, as compared to a reverse transition.
Apples, Pears and Pesticides Impact of Heterogeneous Regulations Governing Pesticide Residues on World Trade

description: Rules governing food production and trade are more and more stringent as regards safety. This is particularly the case of pesticides used in agriculture which may cause harmful effects if their concentration in food is excessive. Warnings about the effects of pesticides on health led the legislator to regulate pesticide residue content in farm produce by fixing Maximum Residue Limits (MRL). These MRL apply to both domestic and foreign products. Compliance with these regulations generates a cost for the producer or exporter which directly impacts the product price at final consumer level. This compliance is made all the more difficult as the MRL are not harmonized at international level and there are almost as many regulations as nations. There is an “international regulation” fixed by the Codex Alimentarius but it is not compulsory and nations preserve their sovereignty. Here we study the impact of regulations governing the maximum pesticide residue limits on world trade. An empirical analysis carried out on forty countries exporting and/or importing apples, pears and processed products show that overall, regulatory heterogeneousness may be trade-impeding and that international harmonization of the MRL might have a positive impact on trade. But a case-by-case analysis shows that adopting a single regulation would not have a positive impact for all countries. Harmonization would even have a negative impact on exports of pears and apple from Japan and the United States.

description: Proptomaphaginus Szymczakowski 1969
 Proptomaphaginus Szymczakowski 1969. Type species: Proptomaphaginus apodemus Szymczakowski, by original designation.
 Distribution. Mexico, Greater Antilles, and Bahamas (Andros Island, undescribed).
 Biology. Scavenger in litter in moist caves, forests and soil.
 Remarks. It is of note that Proptomaphaginus is the only New World representative of the subtribe Ptomaphaginini, otherwise known from two genera in the Oriental region (Szymczakowski 1969).
The two species known from Mexico are considered to be derived flightless and small-eyed litter species. No other Mexican-Central American species are known. These Mexican species are interpreted as relictual species compared to the winged and large-eyed species of the Greater Antilles. It could be proposed that the West Indian species originated on former land masses of Central America and were moved as parts of the Caribbean tectonic plate which were to become the islands of the Greater Antilles (a vicariant origin), but it seems more likely to us that flight was the dispersal mechanism for reaching the West Indies, as we think is the case for all the West Indian leiodids.
 The presence of Proptomaphaginus on the Bahamas (Andros) is based upon two unidentifiable female specimens with the following label data: Bahamas, Andros Island, Forfar Field Station, nr. Stafford Ck., 22-27.VII.2006, M.C.Thomas, T.R. Smith, uv trap in coastal coppice (FSCA).

description: We study quantum-mechanically the frequency-dependent current noise of a tunnel-junction coupled to a nanomechanical oscillator. The cases of both DC and AC voltage bias are considered, as are the effects of intrinsic oscillator damping. The dynamics of the oscillator can lead to large signatures in the shot noise, even if the oscillator-tunnel junction coupling is too weak to yield an appreciable signature in the average current. Moreover, the modification of the shot noise by the oscillator cannot be fully explained by a simple classical picture of a fluctuating conductance.

description: Quantum pumping through mesoscopic quantum dots is known to be enhanced by resonant transmission. The pumped charge is close to an integer number of electrons when the pumping contour surrounds a resonance, but the transmission remains small on the contour. For non-interacting electrons, we give a quantitative account of the detailed exchange of electrons between the dot and the leads (to the electron reservoirs) during a pumping cycle. Near isolated distinct resonances, we use approximate Breit-Wigner expressions for the dot's Green function to discuss the loading/unloading picture of the pumping: the fractional charge exchanged between the dot and each lead through a single resonance point is related to the relative couplings of the dot and the leads at this resonance. If each resonance point along the pumping contour is dominated by the coupling to a single lead (which also implies a very small transmission), then the crossing of each such resonance results in a single electron exchange between the dot and that lead, ending up with a net quantized charge. When the resonance approximation is valid, the fractional charges can also be extracted from the peaks of the transmissions between the various leads.

description: We apply novel survival analysis techniques to investigate the relationship between a number of the properties of galaxies and their atomic ($M_\mathrm{HI}$) and molecular ($M_{\mathrm{H_2}}$) gas mass, with the aim of devising efficient, effective empirical estimators of the cold gas content in galaxies that can be applied to large optical galaxy surveys. We find that dust attenuation, {\AV}, of both the continuum and nebular emission, shows significant partial correlations with $M_{\mathrm{H_2}}$, after controlling for the effect of star formation rate (SFR). The partial correlation between {\AV} and $M_\mathrm{HI}$, however, is weak. This is expected because in poorly dust-shielded regions molecular hydrogen is dissociated by far-ultraviolet photons. We also find that the stellar half-light radius, $R_{50}$, shows significant partial correlations with both $M_{\mathrm{H_2}}$ and $M_\mathrm{HI}$. This hints at the importance of environment (e.g., galactocentric distance) on the gas content of galaxies and the interplay between gas and SFR. We fit multiple regression to summarize the median, mean, and the $0.15/0.85$ quantile multivariate relationships among $M_{\mathrm{H_2}}$, {\AV}, metallicity, and/or $R_{50}$. A linear combination of {\AV} and metallicity (inferred from stellar mass) or {\AV} and $R_{50}$, can estimate molecular gas masses within $\sim 2.5-3$ times the observed masses. If SFR is used in addition, $M_\mathrm{H_2}$ can be predicted to within a factor $\lesssim 2$. In this case, {\AV} and $R_{50}$ are the two best secondary parameters that improve the primary relation between $M_\mathrm{H_2}$ and SFR. Likewise, $M_\mathrm{HI}$ can be predicted to within a factor $\lesssim 3$ using $R_{50}$ and SFR.

description: Quillen's plus construction is a topological construction that kills the maximal perfect subgroup of the fundamental group of a space without changing the integral homology of the space. In this paper we show that there is a topological construction that, while leaving the integral homology of a space unaltered, kills even the intersection of the transfinite lower central series of its fundamental group. Moreover, we show that this is the maximal subgroup that can be factored out of the fundamental group without changing the integral homology of a space.

description: Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) is responsible for innate immunity via the recognition of short double-stranded RNAs in the cytosol. With the clue that G-U wobble base pairs in the influenza A virus’s RNA promoter region are responsible for RIG-I activation, we determined the complex structure of RIG-I ΔCARD and a short hairpin RNA with G-U wobble base pairs by X-ray crystallography. Interestingly, the overall helical backbone trace was not affected by the presence of the wobble base pairs; however, the base pair inclination and helical axis angle changed upon RIG-I binding. NMR spectroscopy revealed that RIG-I binding renders the flexible base pair of the influenza A virus’s RNA promoter region between the two G-U wobble base pairs even more flexible. Binding to RNA with wobble base pairs resulted in a more flexible RIG-I complex. This flexible complex formation correlates with the entropy-favoured binding of RIG-I and RNA, which results in tighter binding affinity and RIG-I activation. This study suggests that the structure and dynamics of RIG-I are tailored to the binding of specific RNA sequences with different flexibility.
Dimensionality-driven photoproduction of massive Dirac pairs near threshold in gapped graphene monolayers

description: Generation of quasi-particle--hole pairs in gapped graphene monolayers in the combined field of two counterpropagating light waves is studied. The process represents an analogue of electron-positron pair production from the QED vacuum by the Breit-Wheeler effect. We show, however, that the two-dimensional structure of graphene causes some striking differences between both scenarios. In particular, contrary to the QED case, it allows for non-zero pair production rates at the energy threshold when the Breit-Wheeler reaction proceeds nonlinearly with absorption of three photons.

Qweak: A Precision Measurement of the Proton's Weak Charge
Creators: name: Mitchell, Gregory S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Qweak experiment at Jefferson Lab aims to make a 4% measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic scattering at very low $Q^2$ of a longitudinally polarized electron beam on a proton target. The experiment will measure the weak charge of the proton, and thus the weak mixing angle at low energy scale, providing a precision test of the Standard Model. Since the value of the weak mixing angle is approximately 1/4, the weak charge of the proton $Q_w^p = 1-4 \sin^2 θ_w$ is suppressed in the Standard Model, making it especially sensitive to the value of the mixing angle and also to possible new physics. The experiment is approved to run at JLab, and the construction plan calls for the hardware to be ready to install in Hall C in 2007. The theoretical context of the experiment and the status of its design are discussed.

description: Sum rules of superconvergence type for parity violating amplitudes (p.v. analogue of Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule) are considered. Elementary processes initiated by polarized photons in the lowest order of electroweak theory are calculated as examples illustrating the validity of the p.v.sum rules. The parity violating polarized photon-induced processes for proton target are considered in the frame of effective low energy theories and phenomenological models based on p.v. nucleon-meson effective interactions. Assuming the saturation of p.v. sum rule the possibility to limit the range of the parameters, poorly known from existing experimental data and used in these models is discussed. The asymmetries for p.v. $π^0$ and $π^+$ production, measurable in future high intensity polarized photon beams experiments, are given.

description: We reduce the number of open additivity problems in quantum information theory by showing that four of them are equivalent. We show that the conjectures of additivity of the minimum output entropy of a quantum channel, additivity of the Holevo expression for the classical capacity of a quantum channel, additivity of the entanglement of formation, and strong superadditivity of the entanglement of formation, are either all true or all false.

description: We study theoretically the behavior of vortices in a thin film superconductor placed close to a soft magnetic film. It is shown that the field from the vortex induces a magnetization distribution in the soft magnetic film, thus modifying the fields and vortex interactions. We suggest that the interaction between two otherwise identical vortices is attractive at short distances, but repulsive at larger distances. This is in contrast to the case without the soft magnetic film, where the force is always repulsive.
