description: In many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, low crop yield response to inorganic fertilizer contributes to low profitability of fertilizer use and reduces the positive effects of and returns to input subsidy programs (ISPs). A major reason for poor crop yield response to fertilizer is low soil quality. However, using other soil fertility management (SFM) practices in conjunction with fertilizer can improve its response rate. But do ISPs encourage (‘crowd in’) or discourage (‘crowd out’) the use of such SFM practices? Using nationally representative household panel survey data, we estimate the effects of subsidized fertilizer acquired through Zambia’s ISP on the use of several SFM practices: (i) leaving land fallow, (ii) intercropping, and (iii) applying animal manure. For each practice, we estimate the household-level effects of an increase in the quantity of subsidized fertilizer acquired on the probability of SFM adoption, land area covered by SFM, and the share of land dedicated to SFM, using the ordinary least squares, fixed effects, and fixed effects-instrumental variable estimators. The results suggest that subsidized fertilizer has statistically significant crowding out effects on all fallow variables, for all measures of adoption, using all estimators. Additionally, we find some evidence that subsidized fertilizer crowds out intercropping. However, the weight of the evidence suggests that subsidized fertilizer has no significant effect on intercropping with legumes or the use of animal manure. By disincentivizing fallowing and intercropping, Zambia’s ISP may be inadvertently reducing soil quality and the effectiveness and profitability of its main input, inorganic fertilizer.

description: Climate change and climate variability is perhaps one of the major challenges facing the world today. There is an equivocal agreement that climate change is not only a threat to the economies of developing world, but also to those of the developed economies. One of the key drivers of global warming is the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Even though several studies have in the recent past evaluated various sources of GHG emissions and their associated impacts, little empirical information exists on the role played by burning savanna grasslands as far as global warming is concerned. This study is an attempt to determine the emission pattern over time and consequently forecast the linear trend in GHG emissions from the Kenya’ Savanna. Using Autoregressive (AR) modelling, the study analyzes and forecasts time series data ranging from the year 1993 to 2012. The key finding of the study indicate that emissions resulting from continual burning of Savanna grasslands will continue in an upward trend if no serious mitigation measure is put in place to revert the statusquo. Averting the current state of affairs requires policies aimed at reducing the levels of GHGs in the atmosphere for instance promotion of Climate Smart Agricultural (CSA) Practices.
Linear Analysis of the Nonaxisymmetric Secular Gravitational Instability

description: In protoplanetary discs (PPDs) consisting of gas and dust particles, fluid instabilities induced by the drag force, including secular gravitational instability (SGI) can facilitate planet formation. Although SGI subject to the axisymmetric perturbations was originally studied in the absence of gas feedback and it then generalized using a two-fluid approach, the fate of the nonaxisymmetric SGI, in either case, is an unexplored problem. We present a linear perturbation analysis of the nonaxisymmetric SGI in a PPD by implementing a two-fluid model. We explore the growth of the local, nonaxisymmetric perturbations using a set of linearized perturbation equations in a sheared frame. The nonaxisymmetric perturbations display significant growth during a finite time interval even when the system is stable against the axisymmetric perturbations. Furthermore, the surface density perturbations do not show continuous growth but are temporally amplified. We also study cases where the dust component undergoes amplification whereas the gas component remains stable. The amplitude amplification, however, strongly depends on the model parameters. In the minimum mass solar nebula (MMSN), for instance, the dust fluid amplification at the radial distance 100 au occurs when the Stokes number is about unity. But the amplification factor reduces as the dust and gas coupling becomes weaker. Furthermore, perturbations with a larger azimuthal wavelength exhibit a larger amplification factor.

description: Bounded infinite graphs are defined on the basis of natural physical requirements. When specialized to trees this definition leads to a natural conjecture that the average connectivity dimension of bounded trees cannot exceed two. We verify that this bound is saturated by a class of random trees, in which case we derive also explicit expressions for the growth probabilities.

description: Taking advantage of the 0° synchronous phase, the KONUS ("Combined 0° Structure" translated from German "Kombinierte Null Grad Struktur") beam dynamics strategy enables long accelerating sections with lens-free slim drift tubes in the low and medium energy regime. It has successfully realized worldwide many room temperature H-type linacs with compact layouts and good beam performance. In this paper, a further development of this solution i.e. to combine the KONUS dynamics with the young superconducting CH (Crossbar H-Type) structure for accelerating very high intensity beams is being presented. The efficiency of the new solution has been shown by the systematic design studies performed for a 150mA, 6MW deuteron linac.

description: Within a light-cone QCD formalism based on the Green function technique incorporating color transparency, coherence length effects and gluon shadowing we study electroproduction of vector mesons off nuclei. We found rather large color transparency effects in the range of Q^2 < 10-20 GeV^2. They are stronger at low than at high energies and can be easily identified by HERMES or at JLab. We provide predictions for incoherent and coherent vector meson production for future measurements.

Seeing double: strong gravitational lensing of high-redshift supernovae

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: With the advent of large, deep surveys, the observation of a strongly gravitationally lensed supernova becomes increasingly likely. High-redshift surveys continue apace, with a handful of type Ia supernovae observed to date at redshifts of one or greater. In addition, a satellite (the Supernova/Acceleration Probe [SNAP]) has been proposed dedicated to observing thousands of supernovae per year out to a redshift of 1.7. Although it is exceedingly unlikely that we will see a multiply-imaged supernova from ongoing surveys, we find that SNAP would observe at least eight such events per year. Since having a standard candle is inessential to most lensing studies, SNAP's large sample of type II supernovae contributes to this rate. Each case of strong lensing allows for a precise determination of time delays, image separations, and relative image magnifications, and the SNAP strong-lensing database will offer measures of $Ω_m$, $Ω_Λ$, and $H_0$, independent of SNAP's primary goal of establishing the distance-redshift relation. These systems also constrain models for the matter density profiles of galaxies and clusters. Furthermore, lensed type Ia supernovae afford the opportunity to break the mass-sheet degeneracy found in many lensing measurements.

description: Sensory arrays made of coupled excitable elements can improve both their input sensitivity and dynamic range due to collective non-linear wave properties. This mechanism is studied in a neural network of electrically coupled (e.g. via gap junctions) elements subject to a Poisson signal process. The network response interpolates between a Weber-Fechner logarithmic law and a Stevens power law depending on the relative refractory period of the cell. Therefore, these non-linear transformations of the input level could be performed in the sensory periphery simply due to a basic property: the transfer function of excitable media.

description: We study the orientational dynamics of heavy silica microrods flowing through a microfluidic channel. Comparing experiments and Brownian dynamics simulations we identify different particle orbits, in particular in-plane tumbling behavior, which cannot be explained by classical Jeffery theory, and we relate this behavior to the rotational diffusion of the rods. By constructing the full, three-dimensional, orientation distribution, we describe the rod trajectories and quantify the persistence of Jeffery orbits using temporal correlation functions of the Jeffery constant. We find that our colloidal rods lose memory of their initial configuration in about a second, corresponding to half a Jeffery period.

description: In developing country, the pattern of tax revenues and economic growth across countries has become a significant concern recently. Because the tax policy may apply as one of the tools of fiscal policy for viable and long-term sources of revenue becoming as a source of finance for economic growth. Thus, this study investigated tax responsiveness to changes in gross domestic product in Ethiopia for the period 1981 - 2014. It mainly focused on the agricultural tax revenue components: agricultural income tax and land use fee. Personal income tax and business profit income have also analyzed. An understanding and analysis of the level of sensitivity of the other tax revenue to discretionary policy measures and GDP are essential to the formulation of fiscal policy. The trend of the agricultural income tax and land use fee collection are highly inconsistent. The study revealed that the Ethiopian agricultural income tax and land use fee are not buoyant, implying that the growth of the agricultural sector has no statistically significant impact on agricultural income tax buoyancy. However, personal income tax revenue, business profit revenue, and total direct taxes are relatively responsive to changes in non-agricultural GDP.

description: The debate on the land degradation – poverty linkages is inconclusive. However, the inter-linkages between land degradation and poverty are thought to be strong in the rural areas of low income countries where livelihoods predominantly depend on agriculture. This study seeks to contribute to the existing literature by establishing the causal relationships between poverty and land degradation and examines its magnitude using nationally representative panel data in Malawi and Tanzania. While using a simultaneous equation model and controlling for unobserved heterogeneity, the findings suggest that poverty contributes to land degradation as a result of poor households’ inability to invest in natural resource conservation and improvement. Land degradation in turn contributes to low and declining agricultural productivity, which in turn contributes to worsening poverty. Specifically, land degradation significantly increases the probability of household poverty by 35% in Malawi and 48% in Tanzania. Poor households have 69% and 67% more likelihood to experience land degradation in Malawi and Tanzania respectively. These findings suggest the importance of including land degradation perspective in poverty analysis among the rural households who heavily depend on land resources for their livelihoods. The pathways through which land degradation influence poverty should be explored so as to improving household welfare.

description: We investigate the electroweak phase transition in the presence of a large CP violation in the squark sector of the MSSM. When the CP violation is large, scalar-pseudoscalar mixing of the Higgs bosons occurs and a large CP violation in the Higgs sector is induced. It, however, weakens first-order phase transition before the mixing reaches the maximal. Even when the CP violation in the squark sector is not so large that the phase transition is strongly first order, the phase difference between the broken and symmetric phase regions grows to O(1), which leads to successful baryogenesis, when the charged Higgs bosons is light.

description: The third TORCH Annual Forum 'Science with and for Society in European Universities Alliances: Cross-Alliances Forum 2023' is a collaborative and insightful hybrid event hosted by Université libre de Bruxelles (CIVIS). This hybrid forum is address to representatives from European Universities Alliances, researchers, innovators, policymakers, European Commission representatives and other stakeholders from the European Research Area. The focus is the results, achievements and challenges from the European Universities Alliances’ SwafS projects and the exploration of best practices and insights related to the transformational modules. The topics include the development of a common R&I agenda, resource sharing, joint structures, human capital enhancement, and collaboration with the non-academic sector. The forum also emphasises Open Science practices and the engagement of citizens and society in Alliance activities.

The forum was led by an Organising Committee including 11 Alliances that were led by TORCH. The dissemination efforts of this forum were coordinated by a dedicated communication group with 5 representatives from 5 Alliances who ensured effective outreach and impact. The European Research Executive Agency also played a crucial role in maximising the outreach of this event by extending invitations, creating an event page, and featuring the forum in its newsletter.

This report, TORCH's deliverable D11.3, provides the meeting agenda, session debriefs, and key conclusions.

The meeting programme includes plenary sessions, roundtables, workshops, and poster presentations. The first morning is focused on policy and strategic aspects of the European Universities Alliances’ research area, featuring presentations on the European Commission’s strategy, joint R&I activities, and assessments of Alliances’ impact. During the afternoon, the sessions showcase the Alliances’ outcomes through different workshops and an interactive poster session. The second day, the sessions are centred on inspiring the future of R&I in Europe with roundtables exploring topics such as research ethics and integrity, inter- and transdisciplinarity and responsible R&I. The concluding session synthesises the discussions from workshops and roundtables, providing the insights into transformative impacts, funding landscapes, and future trajectories for research within European University Alliances.

The forum fostered dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaboration among Alliances with external stakeholders, policymakers and other external stakeholders. The 'Science with and for Society in European Universities Alliances: Cross-Alliances Forum 2023 is a testament of the commitment of European Universities Alliances to drive excellence, foster collaboration and shape the future of the European Research Area.

description: The leaves of commonly consumed plants classified into vegetables, fruits and medicinal plants were extracted using methanol and investigated for antioxidant potential. Free radical scavenging activity was evaluated using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with ascorbic acid as standard. The plant leaves exhibited lower antioxidant activity compared to ascorbic acid with 97.47% inhibition and IC50 value of 8.06 ± 0.02 µg/mL. Among the plant extracts, Azadirachta indica (Neem plant) showed the highest antioxidant potential with IC50 value of 14.03 ± 0.06 µg/mL, followed by extract of Vernonia amygdalina (Bitter leaf), Moringa oleifera (Drumstick tree) and Ocimum gratissimum (Clove basil) with IC50 values of 14.53 ± 0.12 µg/mL, 14.88 ± 0.12 µg/mL and 16.89 ± 0.15 µg/mL respectively. The high antioxidant activity exhibited by these plant leaves validates their use in traditional medicine and source of nutrient in food; acting as a potential antioxidant for the prevention of free radical related diseases.

description: ABSTRACT The present study was aimed to investigate the antibiofilm activity and bioactive compounds in Ocimum gratissimum on bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) was carried out on the aqueous, ethanol and methanol extracts. The bioactive components of plant extracts were investigated using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). S. aureus was more susceptible to the extracts than P. aeruginosa. The biofilm of S. aureus showed more susceptibility to the extracts of Ocimum gratissimum compared to that of P. aeruginosa. The ethanol extract exhibited greater activities against all test organisms than the methanol and aqueous extracts with MIC and MBC values <1 mg/ml; and MBIC values > 1 mg/ml with a biofilm inhibition of 61.70% and 43.14% for S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, respectively. None of the extracts was able to disrupt the growth of preformed biofilm by at least 50%. The ethanol and aqueous extracts inhibited biofilm formation in S. aureus but not P. aeruginosa. The methanol and aqueous extracts enhanced biofilm growth in P. aeruginosa while ethanol extract showed negligible activity against biofilm of P. aeruginosa. GC-MS analysis of ethanol extract of Ocimum gratissimum revealed the presence of fourteen compounds with oleic acid (21.11%) as the dominant compound, followed by n-Hexadecanoic acid (20.13%), squalene (16.82%) and z-2-Octadecen-1-ol acetate (11.53%). The antibiofilm activity of the plant could be used for the extension of the shelf-life in processed foods and against microorganisms both in locally made foods.

description: This study investigates agricultural growth-poverty relationships at the national and household levels. A rural household model is used to measure the impact of agricultural growth (or decline) on consumption first and the effect of consumption changes on poverty using regression analyses. Two approaches are used here to estimate the agricultural growth elasticity of poverty. First, the growth elasticity of poverty is determined and then using the agriculture elasticity of growth, the agriculture growth requirement for the change in poverty is estimated indirectly. In the second approach, a two-stage analysis is used to arrive at the growth requirement by estimating first the determinants of welfare (household consumption expenditure) and estimating the poverty impact of a certain growth using the relationship between expenditure and poverty incidence. Accordingly, a forty-year time-series national account data has indicated that a 1 percent growth in agriculture would lead to a 0.32 percent growth in GDP. Given the GDP growth elasticity of poverty, it also followed that a 1 percent increase in agricultural production would lead to a 0.24 percent decline in poverty incidence at the national level. At the Household level, the base simulation has provided a poverty incidence of 40.2 percent in rural areas with 11.2 and 24.9 poverty gap and severity respectively for the year 1995/96. Given the actual and base simulation poverty measures and assuming the percentage change in percapita value added of agricultural production reflects the same percentage change in consumption per capita (adult) and that income distribution remains the same, the application of the same poverty line in real terms4, has provided a poverty incidence of 63.6 percent and a poverty gap of .22 for the year 2000/01. Such a rapid increase in poverty level goes very well with the general perception of the public as expressed during the PRSP consultation and with other studies by non-governmental organizations. Here agricultural growth elasticity of poverty becomes -3.62, which is very high. When inflation is ignored the agricultural growth elasticity of poverty becomes -2.12. Based on another assumption that takes the long-term trend in agricultural growth, poverty incidence and gap for 2000/01 become 46.5 percent 13.7, implying agricultural growth poverty elasticity of - 0.98, or almost equal percentage change in opposite direction. So, it is likely that a one percentage increase in agricultural per capita value added will result into a one percent decline in poverty level of rural households.

description: The paper attempts to investigate the role of institutions in the long-term growth performance of Ethiopia. In this study, it is hypothesized that the long-term growth of the country, apart from traditional factors of production i.e. capital and labor is largely influenced by institutional factors. To examine this, the study uses a times series data on important variables for the period 1967/68-2002/03, and employed Johansen cointegration analysis. The variables used are, institutional quality indicators, human capital, labor force, capital stock, road network, and rainfall. The findings of the paper support the above stated hypothesis. Institution and physical capital are found to be significant in both the long and short run models while human capital is found important only in the long run.

Heat current control in trapped BEC

description: We investigate the heat transport and the control of heat current among two spatially separated trapped Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC), each of them at a different temperature. To allow for heat transport among the two independent BECs we consider a link made of two harmonically trapped impurities, each of them interacting with one of the BECs. Since the impurities are spatially separated, we consider long-range interactions between them, namely a dipole-dipole coupling. We study this system under theoretically suitable and experimentally feasible assumptions/parameters. The dynamics of these impurities is treated within the framework of the quantum Brownian motion model, where the excitation modes of the BECs play the role of the heat bath. We address the dependence of heat current and current-current correlations on the physical parameters of the system. Interestingly, we show that heat rectification, i.e., the unidirectional flow of heat, can occur in our system, when a periodic driving on the trapping frequencies of the impurities is considered. Therefore, our system is a possible setup for the implementation of a phononic circuit. Motivated by recent developments on the usage of BECs as platforms for quantum information processing, our work offers an alternative possibility to use this versatile setting for information transfer and processing, within the context of phononics, and more generally in quantum thermodynamics.

description: High angular resolution requires large telescope apertures, which in turn often require segmented pupils. This is particularly true for large optical and infrared ground-based telescopes such as the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Due to its six large spiders and the segmented surface of its main mirror, the ELT\'s angular resolution is affected by the presence of pistons which cause phasing errors, thus the importance of measuring and correcting them. In addition to the pistons, the implementation of a fixed two-by-two Shack-Hartmann Wave Front Sensor (SHWFS), optical effects such as Turbulence Residuals (TR), Adaptive Optics RESiduals (AORES) and the main pupil\'s constant rotation also affect the ELT\'s Point Spread Function (PSF). Assuming in our study that each of the ELT\'s main pupil\'s six differential pistons follows a [-I/2,I/2] uniform distribution (units in rad) and that the wavelength is set to 2.2Im, we show that convolutional Neural Networks (NN) offer a promising technique for accurately estimating each of the ELT\'s six differential pistons in the presence of TR. Indeed, each of the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values associated to these differential pistons are much lower than 0.1 rad, or equivalently about 35 nm, regardless of the pupil\'s rotation angle, except for configurations when a spider is closeto a SHWFS axis by less than 3of pupil rotation.
