description: In the future ALICE heavy ion experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider input data rates of up to 25 GB/s have to be handled by the High Level Trigger (HLT) system, which has to scale them down to at most 1.25 GB/s before being written to permanent storage. The HLT system that is being designed to cope with these data rates consists of a large PC cluster, up to the order of a 1000 nodes, connected by a fast network. For the software that will run on these nodes a flexible data transport and distribution software framework has been developed. This framework consists of a set of separate components, that can be connected via a common interface, allowing to construct different configurations for the HLT, that are even changeable at runtime. To ensure a fault-tolerant operation of the HLT, the framework includes a basic fail-over mechanism that will be further expanded in the future, utilizing the runtime reconnection feature of the framework's component interface. First performance tests show very promising results for the software, indicating that it can achieve an event rate for the data transport sufficiently high to satisfy ALICE's requirements.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: It has recently been stated that the warp structure observed around the star Beta Pictoris may be due to four planets embedded in its debris disk (Wahhaj et al., 2003). It, therefore, becomes important to investigate for what range of parameters, and for how long such a multibody system will be dynamically stable. We present the results of the numerical integration of the suggested planetary system for different values of the mass and radii of the planets, and their relative positions and velocities. We also present a statistical analysis of the results in an effort to understand the relation between the different regions of the parameter-space of the system and the duration of the orbital stability of the embedded planets.

description: Emergence of algebraic quasi-long-range order is a key feature of superfluid phase transitions at two dimensions. For this reduced dimensionality interactions prevent Bose-Einstein condensation with true long range order, at any finite temperature. Here, we report the occurence of algebraic order in a strongly interacting quantum liquid formed by dipolar excitons confined in a bilayer semiconductor heterostructure. We observe a transition from exponential to algebraic decay of the excitons temporal coherence, accompanied by a universal scaling behaviour of the equation of state. Our results provide strong evidence for a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition in a multi-component boson-like system governed by strong dipolar interactions.

description: As the modern world becomes increasingly digitized and interconnected, distributed signal processing has proven to be effective in processing its large volume of data. However, a main challenge limiting the broad use of distributed signal processing techniques is the issue of privacy in handling sensitive data. To address this privacy issue, we propose a novel yet general subspace perturbation method for privacy-preserving distributed optimization, which allows each node to obtain the desired solution while protecting its private data. In particular, we show that the dual variables introduced in each distributed optimizer will not converge in a certain subspace determined by the graph topology. Additionally, the optimization variable is ensured to converge to the desired solution, because it is orthogonal to this non-convergent subspace. We therefore propose to insert noise in the non-convergent subspace through the dual variable such that the private data are protected, and the accuracy of the desired solution is completely unaffected. Moreover, the proposed method is shown to be secure under two widely-used adversary models: passive and eavesdropping. Furthermore, we consider several distributed optimizers such as ADMM and PDMM to demonstrate the general applicability of the proposed method. Finally, we test the performance through a set of applications. Numerical tests indicate that the proposed method is superior to existing methods in terms of several parameters like estimated accuracy, privacy level, communication cost and convergence rate.

description: Modeling farmers intensication decision requires a model that considers the dependencies between the perceived influences and their choices of intensication pathways, accounting uncertainties at the same time. A combination of data-driven Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) and Regression Tree is proposed in this paper. Data from 304 rural households in Kilombero Valley Floodplain in Tanzania is used to learn the structure and parameter of the model. The resulting BBN is able to drive the probabilities of intensication choices conditional on key market, biophysical and socio-economic characteristics of farm households.

description: This study set out to understand some of the key issues involved in a successful crowdfunding campaign based on interviews with founders of several UK-based businesses that had been successful at obtaining funds via different crowdfunding models. The results show that contrary to previous research, not all companies thought their personal social media presence was important for reaching investors and it seems that many investors go direct to the crowdfunding platform to browse for opportunities. The successful companies were able to match what they had to offer in terms of benefit for investors and what help and support they thought they needed with a suitable crowdfunding model.

description: This study contributes to understanding what challenges and opportunities exist in making livestock production more profitable and safer. In particular, consumption of pork in Southeast Asia is increasing in response to rapid urbanization and growing average household income. In order to improve lives of pig farmers while minimizing negative effects of increased pig production, we investigate factors influencing application of biosecurity measures along pig value chains in Myanmar. Based on qualitative research methods, we analyze how the value chains are governed and what institutional arrangements influence biosecurity. We find that value chain transactions are largely governed by market and show little vertical coordination. This indicates that value chain actors do not currently invest in biosecurity in a sufficient manner. Lack of access to low-interest loan encourages farmers to undertake risky behaviors while lack of cash discourages value chain stakeholders to invest in biosecurity. On the other hand, key actors such as large-scale pig farmers informally impose biosecurity measures to pig buyers while informal arrangements to ensure food safety is found to encourage increased biosecurity. Public policies may exploit these existing institutions to improve chain-wide biosecurity.

description: This paper aims to gain a better understanding of the motives and criteria by which excellent researchers chose a host institution. Semi structured interviews of recently appointed excellent young researchers based in the UK, USA and Germany were carried out and motivations for choosing an institution explored. The findings show a variety of professional and personal factors are included in the decision making process. Excellence of research was clearly important, but also fit and potential for collaborations was cited. Personal issues included family issues regarding stability of children’s schooling, employment for partners and ease of adapting to the local language. Length of tenure was also stated as being important for personal reasons and also to allow time to build up a research group. This understanding of young researchers key motives for choosing an institution will inform institutions to allow them to attract and retain excellent researchers which will be of benefit not only to the institution itself, but also to the regional and national economy.

description: Agricultural commercialization is key to the rural development process. It is however poorly understood how commercialization affects the nutritional intake by members of the farm household. This paper studies this relationship using household-level panel data collected in Rwanda, Bangladesh, and Ethiopia. Controlling for household fixed effects, we find that the effect of commercialization on the diversity and nutritional adequacy of the farm household s diet is positive, negative, or zero, depending on the country and measure of dietary intake. We also find a large variation between countries when investigating the underlying mechanisms. Depending on the country, commercialization affects dietary intake via higher food expenditure, via the diversity of food produced by the farmer, or directly .

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and the Missing Hydrogen Mass in the Universe

description: It is proposed that when the era of the big-bang nucleosynthesis ended, almost all of the 75 percent of the observed total baryonic matter remained in the form of hydrogen and continued to exist in the form of protons and electrons. They are present today as baryonic dark matter in the form of intergalactic hydrogen plasma. To test our hypothesis we have investigated the effects of Thomson scattering by free electrons on the reported dimming of Type Ia supernovae. The quantitative results of our calculation suggest that the dimming of these supernovae, which are dimmer than expected and hence more distant than predicted by Hubble expansion, is a result of Thomson scattering without cosmic acceleration.

description: Controlled atomic scale fabrication of functional devices is one of the holy grails of nanotechnology. The most promising class of techniques that enable deterministic nanodevice fabrication are based on scanning probe patterning or surface assembly. However, this typically involves a complex process flow, stringent requirements for an ultra high vacuum environment, long fabrication times and, consequently, limited throughput and device yield. Here, a device platform is developed that overcomes these limitations by integrating scanning probe based dopant device fabrication with a CMOS-compatible process flow. Silicon on insulator substrates are used featuring a reconstructed Si(001):H surface that is protected by a capping chip and has pre-implanted contacts ready for scanning tunneling microscope (STM) patterning. Processing in ultra-high vacuum is thus reduced to only a few critical steps which minimizes the complexity, time and effort required for fabrication of the nanoscale dopant devices. Subsequent reintegration of the samples into the CMOS process flow not only simplifies the post-processing but also opens the door to successful application of STM based dopant devices as a building block in more complex device architectures. Full functionality of this approach is demonstrated with magnetotransport measurements on degenerately doped STM patterned Si:P nanowires up to room temperature.

description: In this paper, we analyze the economic and social impacts of different deforestation reduction scenarios in Brazil, using a detailed inter-regional, bottom-up, dynamic general equilibrium model. We build three deforestation scenarios using detailed information on land use in Brazil, from satellite imagery that comprises deforestation patterns and land use by state and biome. This information includes agricultural suitability of soil, by biome and state, as well as the classification of land between private and public lands. Results show, for the period under consideration, low aggregate economic losses of reducing deforestation in all scenarios, but those losses are much higher in the agricultural frontier states. Reducing deforestation has also a negative impact on welfare (as measured by household consumption), affecting disproportionately more the poorest households, both at national level and particularly in the frontier regions, both by the income and expenditure composition effects. We conclude that although important from an environmental point of view, those social losses must be taken into account for the policy to get general support in Brazil.

description: The purpose of this paper is to sketch an approach towards a reconciliation of quantum theory with relativity theory. It will actually be argued that these two theories ultimately rely on one another. A general operator-algebraic framework for relativistic quantum theory is outlined. Some concepts of space-time structure are translated into algebra. Following deep results of Buchholz et al., the key role of massless modes, photons and gravitons, and of Huygens' Principle in a relativistic quantum theory well suited to describe "events" and "measurements" is highlighted. In summary, a relativistic version of the "ETH Approach" to quantum mechanics is described.

description: Most pastoralists households are adversely affected by shocks such as droughts, livestock diseases and declining pasture availability. These shocks lead to deterioration of livestock quality and even mass death of herds. This leaves pastoralists households vulnerable as they derive most of their food and income needs from livestock, necessitating the need to build resilience to these shocks. Against this back drop, this study analyzed factors that build household resilience among the pastoralists of West Pokot County. The household resilience index was constructed using Principal Component Analysis, PCA. An ordered probit regression was used to analyze the effect of socio-demographic and institutional factors on households resilience. It was noted that years of schooling, household income, access to credit and extension and livestock management practices such as post harvest use of field crops for grazing, enclosures, stocking improved breeds, bee keeping, ethno-veterinary practices and afforestation have a positive and significant effect in building household resilience to shocks. There is therefore the need to direct investment to bolster pastoralists own efforts in this regard to realize the attainment of more resilient households. Key words: Shocks, Vulnerability, Resilience, Pastoralists Acknowledgement : We acknowledge the financial support received from African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) and the Triple L Project in West Pokot County for funding different components of this study, the research team for their cooperation in data collection and the respondents in West Pokot for their support during the field study.

description: The impact of technical change on land productivity has been subject to rigorous analysis. However, the implication of technical change on synergies or tradeoffs in productivity and efficiency has been rarely quantified. We contribute to the technology adoption literature by studying the joint impact of technical change-changes in crop traits obtained through continuous breeding research-on land productivity and efficiency in rural Ethiopia. We estimate an endogenous switching translog production function using two rounds of panel data. Our results reveal that technical change increases both productivity and efficiency. But the gains in efficiency are quite small indicating that technical change may need to be supported by other complementary policy instruments that improve the efficiency of new improved varieties technologies. We also find that the average farmer is 40% inefficient in inputs use given the production technology. Future research may need to focus on identifying suitable technologies that contribute towards closing the observed inefficiency. Acknowledgement :

description: This paper estimates the rate of success of new dairy products in the UK. They are an important strategy applied by manufacturers and retailers when competing. In the current context of decreasing demand for dairy products, the strategy is seen as a way to recapture lost market. The purpose of this study is to measure the degree of uptake of new dairy products in the UK market and the effect that different attributes (e.g., health and sustainability) may have on their acceptance by consumers. We focus on products introduced in 2011 using Mintel s GNPD and their sales were followed up to 2015 using Kantar World panel data. The impact of attributes on the presence of a product in the market was assessed using the Cox s proportional hazards regression. Results indicated that new packaged products have more probability of being successful compared to other launched types. New developed yogurts is the category introducing more new products but with more risk to fail. The presence of convenience (ease of use) and sustainable (ethical) claims decreases the products rate of failure. However, the hazard rates are very small. The opposite was found for products with demographic or health claims.

description: Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is a reliable automated technique for the screening of Papanicolaou (Pap) smear data. It is an effective technique for collecting a majority of the cervical cells and aiding cytopathologists in locating abnormal cells. Most methods published in the research literature rely on accurate cell segmentation as a prior, which remains challenging due to a variety of factors, e.g., stain consistency, presence of clustered cells, etc. We propose a method for automatic classification of cervical slide images through generation of labeled cervical patch data and extracting deep hierarchical features by fine-tuning convolution neural networks, as well as a novel graph-based cell detection approach for cellular level evaluation. The results show that the proposed pipeline can classify images of both single cell and overlapping cells. The VGG-19 model is found to be the best at classifying the cervical cytology patch data with 95 % accuracy under precision-recall curve.

description: We examined analytically a cosmological black hole domain wall system. Using the C-metric construction we derived the metric for the spacetime describing an infinitely thin domain wall intersecting a cosmological black hole. We studied the behaviour of the scalar field describing a self-interacting cosmological domain wall and find the approximated solution valid for large distances. The thin wall approximation and the back raection problem were elaborated finding that the topological kink solution smoothed out singular behaviour of the zero thickness wall using a core topological and hence thick domain wall. We also analyze the nucleation of cosmological black holes on and in the presence of a domain walls and conclude that the domain wall will nucleate small black holes on it rather than large ones inside.

description: The effectiveness of betulinic acid (B) and PLGA loaded nanoparticles of B (Bnp) against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was established and reported earlier. In continuation of our previous report, the present study described the molecular mechanisms of their antineoplastic responses. In this context, the antineoplastic properties of both B and Bnp were evaluated on DEN-induced HCC rat model. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses revealed that HCC was developed through lower expressions of e-NOS, BAX, BAD, Cyt C and higher expressions of i-NOS, Bcl-xl, Bcl-2. B and Bnp normalised the expressions of these apoptogenic markers. Particularly, both activated i-NOS and e-NOS mediated Bcl-2 family proteins→CytC→Caspase 3 and 9 signalling cascades. The 1H-NMR-based metabolomics study also demonstrated that the perturbed metabolites in DEN-induced rat serum restored to the normal level following both treatments. Moreover, the antineoplastic potential of Bnp was found to be comparable with the marketed product, 5-flurouracil.

description: In Niger, an important objective of the agricultural policy consists in promoting the development of small irrigation infrastructures in order to diversify agricultural production, extend the cropping season, raise land productivity and secure farmers' revenue. Small irrigation infrastructures are regarded as a possible alternative to large irrigation infrastructure since they are cheaper to implement and maintain and easier to manage. This paper attempts to explore the impacts of a program of small irrigation development in Niger on land allocation, agricultural production and income generation using the farm-level model FSSIM-Dev (Farm System Simulator for Developing Economies) and data from a nationally representative sample of farm households. FSSIM-Dev, a static positive programming model, was applied to every individual farm household included in sample to capture the full heterogeneity of impacts across farm households. Results show the large potential impact of small irrigation on agriculture production and income generation, especially during the dry season and in regions of Niger with high potential irrigable land. Farm income would increase by around 7 % at country level if small irrigation was made available to all farmers. Small irrigation infrastructure would also contribute the reduction of income inequality. Acknowledgement :

description: We analyze the cooling of a mechanical resonator coupled to an ensemble of interacting two-level systems via an open quantum systems approach. Using an exact analytical result, we find optimal cooling occurs when the phonon mode is critically coupled ($γ\sim g$) to the two-level system ensemble. Typical systems operate in sub-optimal cooling regimes due to the intrinsic parameter mismatch ($γ\gg g$) between the dissipative decay rate $γ$ and the coupling factor $g$. To overcome this obstacle, we show that carefully engineering the coupling parameters through the strain profile of the mechanical resonator allows phonon cooling to proceed through the dark (subradiant) entangled states of an \emph{interacting} ensemble, thereby resulting in optimal phonon cooling. Our results provide a new avenue for ground-state cooling and should be accessible for experimental demonstrations.

You are Approved! Insured Loans Improve Credit Access and Technology Adoption of Ghanaian Farmers.

description: Increasing agricultural efficiency via technology adoption is high-priority among development practitioners. One potential tool for furthering this objective is using drought index insurance to increase access to credit. Accordingly, the objective of this paper is to investigate whether coupling agricultural loans with micro-level and meso-level drought index insurance can stimulate the demand and supply of credit and increase technology adoption. To this end, in partnership with 14 rural banks and the Ghana Agricultural Insurance Pool, we implemented a randomized control trial in northern Ghana that targeted maize farmers organized in credit groups. Our empirical analysis indicates that on the demand side, coupling loans with micro-insurance increases the likelihood of loan application for female farmers, potentially because of the payouts being directly made to them and a lack of trust in the bank. In contrast, coupling loans with meso-insurance increases the likelihood of loan application for those farmers who place the highest trust in the bank. On the supply side, coupling loans with meso-insurance increases the likelihood of loan approval, but with a larger impact for males. Overall, our results indicate that insured loans hold significant promise for expanding credit access and technology adoption among smallholder farmers.

description: In this paper we analyse the drivers of farm structural change with respect to farm specialisation, size and exit in Norway using an adapted Multiplicative Competitive Interaction (MCI) model recently presented in the field of agriculture. We use Norwegian single farm full census data for the period 1996-2015. Four production specialisations and seven size classes represent farm groups, as well as a residual and an exit farm group at regional level. The estimates indicate that initial state (path dependency) explains about 87% of Norwegian farm structural change followed by natural conditions (6.4%) and subsidies (4.9%). The results suggest a more rigid farm structure in Norway which is also apparent in the old EU Member States. Further it can be seen that the exit farm group shows a different explanatory pattern of the determinants than the other active farm groups. Acknowledgement :

description: We calculate thermodynamic quantities of HP lattice proteins by means of a multicanonical chain growth algorithm that connects the new variants of the Pruned-Enriched Rosenbluth Method (nPERM) and flat histogram sampling of the entire energy space. Since our method directly simulates the density of states, we obtain results for thermodynamic quantities of the system for all temperatures. In particular, this algorithm enables us to accurately simulate the usually difficult accessible low-temperature region. Therefore, it becomes possible to perform detailed analyses of the low-temperature transition between ground states and compact globules.
