description: Observations of neutron star mergers in the late Universe have given significant restrictions to the class of viable scalar-tensor theories. In this paper we construct black holes within the "self-tuning" class of this restricted set, whereby the bare cosmological constant is absorbed by the dynamics of the scalar, giving a lower effective cosmological constant. We use analytic expansions at the singularity, black hole and cosmological horizon, and asymptotic region, coupled with numerical solutions, to find well-behaved black holes that asymptote to the self-tuned de Sitter geometry. The geometry differs from standard general relativity black holes near the horizon, and the scalar field velocity provides a hair for the black holes.

description: This paper represents a variant on the empirical analysis of technological adoption by Griliches. It follows up on previous research regarding the potential of the Gini coefficient of mean difference as a distribution-free measure of adoption speed. A formal proof is supplied for the derivation of an empirically workable definition of the Gini. Data regarding the uptake of high-yielding wheat varieties in India are used to compare the performance of the Gini relative to that of the logistic and Weibull adoption speed coefficients. The results suggest that, for the purpose of ex-post analyses of monotonically increasing adoption processes, use of the Gini in measuring adoption speed can result in a better explanation of aggregate adoption behavior.

description: The policy preference function (PPF) approach has become popular with economists seeking to explain the origin of government policies. In this paper, a distinction between positive and normative work with the PPF concept is made. Positive work is shown to suffer from a variety of shortcomings including the misspecification of traditional PPFS and the failure to consider the importance of institutions, constraints and the interaction between different commodity policies. These weaknesses are reflected in the counter-intuitive results of a simple PPF model designed to reflect the interaction between the EC's wheat and barley policies. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that PPF weights change as a result of both political preferences and market parameters. Hence, changes in PPF weights cannot be attributed to changes in preferences alone. Tests of the axioms of revealed preference theory are used to demonstrate that even though PPF weights derived for the EC's wheat and barley markets have fluctuated considerably since the early 1970s, we are not able to conclude that there has been a shift in political preferences. The paper concludes with some comments about the use of PPFS in a normative framework. The underlying assumption that policy-makers optimise seems, not surprisingly, often to lead practitioners to the conclusion that observed policies are not so bad after all. Economists should also beware of the tendency to overlook possible differences between the PPF and the social welfare function.

Siculobata leontonycha

description: Siculobata (Paraleius) leontonycha (Berlese, 1910) *
 Material – New record for Turkey. Four specimens in Karadedeoğlu Village, Tekkeyaylası Forest Area, Taşköprü-Kastamonu, N 41° 22′ 23.26′′, E 34° 24′ 22.11′′, alt. = 1187 m, 23 August 2018; two specimens in Alasökü Village Forests, Taşköprü-Kastamonu N 41° 20′ 09.64′′, E 34° 25′ 58.98′′, alt. = 1327 m, 10 June 2018, tree bark and debris of P. nigra and P. sylvestris.
 Global distribution – Holarctic.
 Ecology – Bark debris around the trunks, in pathways of woodborer beetles.
 Remarks – Measurements: Weigmann (2006) reports size of S. leontonycha as 435–500 µm. Travé (1960), Wunderle et al. (1990) and Perez-Iňigo (1993) also indicate larger individuals (440–500 µm, 435–480 µm and 440–500 µm respectively), while Ghilarov and Krivolutsky (1975) and Mahunka (1996) do not indicate body size at all. All Turkish individuals are smaller (360–365 × 215–220 µm) than reported. The rest of the characters match with provided descriptions.
 The species is known to be arboricolar (Weigmann 2006). Turkish records prove this habitat preference by finding all individuals on bark of pine tree species. Checklist of oribatid mites of Georgia (Murvanidze and Mumladze 2016) report presence of this species in soils of alpine meadow after the catalogue of Caucasian oribatids of Shtanchaeva and Subias (2010), however, this report is a mistake, because the catalogue does not list S. leontonycha at all and Georgian record can be discarded.

description: The dynamic properties of ground- and excited-state emission in InAs/GaAs quantum-dot lasers operating close to 1.31 μm are studied systematically. Under low bias conditions, such devices emit on the ground state, and switch to emission from the excited state under large drive currents. Modification of one facet reflectivity by deposition of a dichroic mirror yields emission at one of the two quantum-dot states under all bias conditions and enables to properly compare the dynamic properties of lasing from the two different initial states. The larger differential gain of the excited state, which follows from its larger degeneracy, as well as its somewhat smaller nonlinear gain compression results in largely improved modulation capabilities. We demonstrate maximum small-signal bandwidths of 10.51 GHz and 16.25 GHz for the ground and excited state, respectively, and correspondingly, large-signal digital modulation capabilities of 15 Gb/s and 22.5 Gb/s. For the excited state, the maximum error-free bit rate is 25 Gb/s.

description: The paper investigates the determinants of cropland value in 12 selected Midwestern U.S.A. States in the years 1971- 2009. We adopt the Ricardian Present Value Model (PVM) as the theoretical framework, and therefore focus on the relationship between land value and cash rents, expecting to find a positive one. In order to model the spatial effects that characterize the data, we estimate a spatial dynamic panel data model with fixed individual effects. The employed dataset represents an improvement with respect to earlier studies because it refers to a rather homogeneous sample of States and only to cropland rather than farmland in general, and also excludes the value of buildings from the value of farmland. Also, net, rather than gross, cash rents per acre of cropland are used, as this reflects the net return to the landowner. Our results allow the computation of short and long run cropland value elasticity to cash rents, whose close-to-1 value appears to support the PVM. We also highlight the importance of taking spatial effects into consideration when addressing this field of analysis.

Quantum Monte Carlo with Directed Loops

description: We introduce the concept of directed loops in stochastic series expansion and path integral quantum Monte Carlo methods. Using the detailed balance rules for directed loops, we show that it is possible to smoothly connect generally applicable simulation schemes (in which it is necessary to include back-tracking processes in the loop construction) to more restricted loop algorithms that can be constructed only for a limited range of Hamiltonians (where back-tracking can be avoided). The "algorithmic discontinuities" between general and special points (or regions) in parameter space can hence be eliminated. As a specific example, we consider the anisotropic S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet in an external magnetic field. We show that directed loop simulations are very efficient for the full range of magnetic fields (zero to the saturation point) and anisotropies. In particular for weak fields and anisotropies, the autocorrelations are significantly reduced relative to those of previous approaches. The back-tracking probability vanishes continuously as the isotropic Heisenberg point is approached. For the XY-model, we show that back-tracking can be avoided for all fields extending up to the saturation field. The method is hence particularly efficient in this case. We use directed loop simulations to study the magnetization process in the 2D Heisenberg model at very low temperatures. For LxL lattices with L up to 64, we utilize the step-structure in the magnetization curve to extract gaps between different spin sectors. Finite-size scaling of the gaps gives an accurate estimate of the transverse susceptibility in the thermodynamic limit: chi_perp = 0.0659 +- 0.0002.

description: Linear programming has long been used as a tool in agricultural planning. This paper presents and discusses a technique that can be used in conjunction with linear programming to evaluate 'nearly optimal' solutions. This technique is referred to as Nearly Optimal Linear Programming or Modelling to Generate Alternatives (MGA). MGA allows planners to incorporate important objectives that are difficult to include in a mathematical model by identifying and evaluating alternative 'nearly optimal' solutions. Some of these alternative solutions may be consistent with the goals or objectives of decision makers. To date, MGA has received little use in addressing agricultural planning problems. A micro-level application of MGA, concerning a dairy ration formulation problem, is presented to demonstrate the relevance of MGA to agricultural planning by decision makers. Within this application, the use of MGA to complement and enhance normal linear programming analysis is also discussed.

description: Single-phase polycrystalline La2MnVO6 samples were synthesized by arc melting and characterized by X-ray diffraction, magnetization and resistivity measurements. We find that the compound has cubic (space group), partly ordered double perovskite structure. The sample exhibits ferrimagnetic behavior and variable-range hopping conductivity. We conclude based on the magnetic properties that both Mn and V ions are trivalent; moreover, the Mn3+ ions are in a high-spin state, which is the reason that the compound is not a half-metallic antiferromagnet.

description: This paper aims at evaluating the impact of the 2003/2005 CAP reform on farm production choices. The outcome of “market orientation” is measured by considering both the short-term production choices and the long-term investment decisions. The Treatment Effect (TE) is estimated through recent alternative multiple/continuous TEs estimators based on the Generalized Propensity Score (GPS). Instead of looking at non-treated counterfactuals these approaches take advantage of the different intensity with which the first pillar support is delivered to treated units. These alternative estimators are implemented and their statistical robustness assessed and results compared. Results show that the 2003/2005 reform of the first pillar of the CAP actually had an impact more in (ri)orienting short-term farm production choices then investment decisions and this effect is significantly more evident for farms with a limited contribution of the CAP on their own Gross Production Value.

description: The majority of the iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) exhibit a two-dimensional square lattice structure. Recent reports of pressure-induced superconductivity in the spin-ladder system, BaFe$_2$X$_3$ (X =S,Se), introduce a quasi-one-dimensional prototype and an insulating parent compound to the FeSCs. Here we report X-ray, neutron diffraction and muon spin relaxation experiments on BaFe$_2$Se$_3$ under hydrostatic pressure to investigate its magnetic and structural properties across the pressure-temperature phase diagram. A structural phase transition was identified at a pressure of 3.7(3) GPa. Neutron diffraction measurements at 6.8(3) GPa and 120 K show that the block magnetism persists even at these high pressures. A steady increase and then fast drop of the magnetic transition temperature $T\rm_N$ and greatly reduced moment above the pressure $P_s$ indicate potentially rich and competing phases close to the superconducting phase in this ladder system.

description: This paper firstly aims at proposing and applying a methodology to reconstruct the agricultural GHG emissions and the consequent Carbon Footprint at the farm level. This allows investigating how the emission performance of Italian farms evolves over time also distinguishing among different typologies of farms and territories. Secondly, the paper attempts to put forward some hypotheses explaining the observed heterogeneous evolution of the farm-level CF. In particular, the attention focuses on the possible role of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) here intended both as the 2005 reform of its first pillar and those second pillar’s measures targeted to activities and practices that have a direct impact on the CF. The empirical analysis concerns a balanced panel of Italian FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) farms observed over years 2003-2007. This period covers the 2003/2005 reform of the first pillar of the CAP as well as the full application of the second pillar’s measures for the 2000-2007 programming period. A tentative estimation of the farm-level CF and its link to the farm-level delivery of CAP payments is thus provided. Results, although interesting and encouraging, deliver unclear and ambiguous evidence on the role of both aspects of the CAP on the observed CF performance and evolution. Several improvements seem needed to achieve more conclusive evidence putting forward appropriate theoretical concepts, models and econometric approaches to make this assessment more sound and robust, in order to inform the debate and the decisions about the proper policies to mitigate agricultural GHG emission.

description: It is widely believed that land tenure insecurity under a customary tenure system leads to a socially inefficient resource allocation. This article demonstrates that the practice of granting secure individual ownership to tree planters spurs earlier tree planting, which is inefficient from the private point of view but could be efficient from the viewpoint of the global environment. Regression analysis, based on primary data collected in Sumatra, indicates that an expected increase in tenure security in fact led to early tree planting. It is also found that customary land tenure institutions have been evolving towards greater tenure security responding to increasing scarcity of land. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: We study fluctuations in the number of zeros of random analytic functions given by a Taylor series whose coefficients are independent complex Gaussians. When the functions are entire, we find sharp bounds for the asymptotic growth rate of the variance of the number of zeros in large disks centered at the origin. To obtain a result that holds under no assumptions on the variance of the Taylor coefficients we employ the Wiman-Valiron theory. We demonstrate the sharpness of our bounds by studying well-behaved covariance kernels, which we call admissible (after Hayman).

description: This study develops and demonstrates procedures for modeling the impact of agricultural technology adoption decisions on consumption and nutrition in a subsistence-farming context. The method is based on expected direct utility maximization (EDUM) formulation and incorporates subsistence quantities for broad aggregates of protein, calories, and other consumption goods. The method is applied to a hillside farming system of southern Honduras where new sorghum cultivars and erosion control techniques are being introduced. The expected direct utility maximization model allows the estimation of the effects of new technology on consumption and marketed surplus in situations where marginal values of products vary by state of nature and are affected by consumption and production choices. The introduction of the new technologies in southern Honduras results in improved nutrition and substantial increases in marketed surplus. These effects are due to simultaneous changes in output and consumption patterns. This work extends the subject of household modeling to problems with risk, and thus complements prior work in both the integrated analysis of production/consumption decisions and stochastic decision analysis.© 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: Yeasts in the lager brewing group are closely related and consequently do not exhibit significant genetic variability. Here, an artificial Saccharomyces cerevisiae × Saccharomyces eubayanus tetraploid interspecies hybrid was created by rare mating, and its ability to sporulate and produce viable gametes was exploited to generate phenotypic diversity. Four spore clones obtained from a single ascus were isolated, and their brewing-relevant phenotypes were assessed. These F1 spore clones were found to differ with respect to fermentation performance under lager brewing conditions (15°C, 15 °Plato), production of volatile aroma compounds, flocculation potential and temperature tolerance. One spore clone, selected for its rapid fermentation and acetate ester production was sporulated to produce an F2 generation, again comprised of four spore clones from a single ascus. Again, phenotypic diversity was introduced. In two of these F2 clones, the fermentation performance was maintained and acetate ester production was improved relative to the F1 parent and the original hybrid strain. Strains also performed well in comparison to a commercial lager yeast strain. Spore clones varied in ploidy and chromosome copy numbers, and faster wort fermentation was observed in strains with a higher ploidy. An F2 spore clone was also subjected to 10 consecutive wort fermentations, and single cells were isolated from the resulting yeast slurry. These isolates also exhibited variable fermentation performance and chromosome copy numbers, highlighting the instability of polyploid interspecific hybrids. These results demonstrate the value of this natural approach to increase the phenotypic diversity of lager brewing yeast strains.

description: We consider stationary driven systems in contact with a thermal equilibrium bath. There is a constant (Joule) heat dissipated from the steady system to the environment as long as all parameters are unchanged. As a natural generalization from equilibrium thermodynamics, the nonequilibrium heat capacity measures the excess in that dissipated heat when the temperature of the thermal bath is changed. To improve experimental accessibility we show how the heat capacity can also be obtained from the response of the instantaneous heat flux to small periodic temperature variations.

description: We compile a holistic scenario for molecular cloud (MC) evolution and control of the star formation efficiency (SFE), and present a first set of numerical tests of it. A {\it lossy} compressible cascade can generate density fluctuations and further turbulence at small scales from large-scale motions, implying that the turbulence in MCs may originate from the compressions that form them. Below a {\it sonic} scale $\ls$, turbulence cannot induce any further subfragmentation, nor be a dominant support agent against gravity. Since progressively smaller density peaks contain progressively smaller fractions of the mass, we expect the SFE to decrease with decreasing $\ls$, at least when the cloud is globally supported by turbulence. Our numerical experiments confirm this prediction. We also find that the collapsed mass fraction in the simulations always saturates below 100% efficiency. This may be due to the decreased mean density of the leftover interclump medium, which in real clouds (not confined to a box) should then be more easily dispersed, marking the ``death'' of the cloud. We identify two different functional dependences (``modes'') of the SFE on $\ls$, which roughly correspond to globally supported and unsupported cases. Globally supported runs with most of the turbulent energy at the largest scales have similar SFEs to those of unsupported runs, providing numerical evidence of the dual role of turbulence, whereby large-scale turbulent modes induce collapse at smaller scales. We tentatively suggest that these modes may correspond to the clustered and isolated modes of star formation, although here they are seen to form part of a continuum rather than being separate modes. Finally, we compare with previous proposals that the relevant parameter is the energy injection scale.

description: Dynamic and static weed control decision rules are derived analytically and compared. The dynamic rule leads to increased farm profits and greater control of weeds and weed seeds than the static rule, while total herbicide use is unchanged. The magnitude of the differences is estimated for atrazine control of foxtail and cocklebur in com production. Incorporating weed dynamics into weed control strategies increases farm profits between 1.0 and 1.4%. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
Unconventional spin density wave in (TMTSF)2PF6 below T* ~ 4K

description: The presence of subphases in spin-density wave (SDW) phase of (TMTSF)2PF6 below T* ~ 4K has been suggested by several experiments but the nature of the new phase is still controversial. We have investigated the temperature dependence of the angular dependence of the magnetoresistance in the SDW phase which shows different features for temperatures above and below T*. For T > 4K the magnetoresistance can be understood in terms of the Landau quantization of the quasiparticle spectrum in a magnetic field, where the imperfect nesting plays the crucial role. We propose that below T* ~ 4K the new unconventional SDW (USDW) appears modifying dramatically the quasiparticle spectrum. Unlike conventional SDW the order parameter of USDW depends on the quasiparticle momentum. The present model describes many features of the angular dependence of magnetoresistance reasonably well. Therefore, we may conclude that the subphase in (TMTSF)2PF6 below T* ~ 4K is described as SDW plus USDW.

Efficient unnatural protein production by pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase with genetically fused solubility tags

description: Introducing non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) by engineered orthogonal pairs of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and tRNAs has proven to be a highly useful tool for the expansion of the genetic code. Pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS) from methanogenic archaeal and bacterial species is particularly attractive due to its natural orthogonal reactivity in bacterial and eukaryotic cells. However, the scope of such a reprogrammed translation is often limited, due to low yields of chemically modified target protein. This can be the result of substrate specificity engineering, which decreases the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase stability and reduces the abundance of active enzyme. We show that the solubility and folding of these engineered enzymes can become a bottleneck for the production of ncAA-containing proteins in vivo. Solubility tags derived from various species provide a strategy to remedy this issue. We find the N-terminal fusion of the small metal binding protein from Nitrosomonas europaea to the PylRS sequence to improve enzyme solubility and to boost orthogonal translation efficiency. Our strategy enhances the production of site-specifically labelled proteins with a variety of engineered PylRS variants by 200–540%, and further allows triple labeling. Even the wild-type enzyme gains up to 245% efficiency for established ncAA substrates.

description: Estimated rates of return to research are distorted by problems of attributing the credit for particular research results, or for particular research-induced productivity increases, among research expenditures undertaken at different times, in different places, and by different agencies. A comprehensive assessment of the evidence from past economic evaluations of the returns to agricultural R&D indicates that studies generally report high rates of return, with enormous variation among studies, but that much of this evidence has been tainted by inadequate attention to attribution problems. This paper raises these concerns in a general way and illustrates their importance with reference to two particular types of attribution problem. First, we consider the problem of accounting for locational spillovers in attributing varietal-improvement technology among research performers, using US wheat varieties as an example. Second, we consider the temporal aspects of the attribution problem using the specification of research lags in econometric models to illustrate the problem of attributing aggregate productivity gains to research expenditures made at different times. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

An ex ante economic and policy analysis of research on genetic resistance to livestock disease: trypanosomosis in Africa

description: This paper undertakes an ex ante economic analysis of research on how resistance to trypanosomosis- a dominant livestock disease in Africa- can be maintained and enhanced while retaining and reinforcing characteristics of economic importance to farmers, and on how 'trypanotolerance' can be imparted to susceptible animals while retaining their other important traits. The results indicate that potential benefits to research - historically field-based but increasingly biotechnology-driven - range from two to nine times potential costs and that the internal rate of return on investments can be six times the real interest rate. Field-based research, while exhibiting lower potential benefits on aggregate than does biotechnology research, is also less costly and, because of its more immediate payback, has higher internal rates of return. Returns to biotechnology research hinge on close links with field-based research and on strategic but relatively small incremental human and capital investments. The results also suggest that further research is needed to consistently identify and track the impacts of alternative intellectual property rights (IPRs) options on the levels and distributions of biotechnology research benefits. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: Various news media outlets have often claimed to be impartial and representative of unbiased information, with the BBC being at the forefront. In its inception, these reports were predominantly that. Within television, the broadcasts were informative, to the point, and by contemporary standards, dull. However, as dramas have become more film-like within its fictional programmes, news broadcasters have faced competition. As such, news sources have started to broadcast their reports with more dramatic styles, focussing on form above content in order to win their share of the audience.
As a result of this focus on winning audience shares, broadcasters have utilised certain filmic devices that grab and hold the attention of viewers. The literary review within this dissertation finds that existing texts, whilst a basis for further research, do not accurately address the issue of the use of filmic devices. Similarly, printed press have witnessed the competition of televised and online media sources, and have utilised more dramatic language in order to increase the likelihood of purchase. Subsequently, this sections of this dissertation will explore the most prominent aspects of these techniques within news reports, utilising archival, qualitative and quantitative research methods to analyse various media broadcasts and printed reports.
