description: Real estate appraisers represent a unique and very interesting form of business organization characterized by both cooperation and competition that is quite unlike any of the normal models of competition (such as perfect competition, oligopoly, or monopoly) that were studied in introductory economic theory courses. The interesting part for an economist is that appraisers are competitors and yet seem to depend on each other. Appraisers are clearly competitors; that is, they all compete for the same set of business opportunities available in the marketplace, just like farmers or barbers or dentists compete for a share of their perspective markets. At the same time, appraisers cooperate through the sharing of information about comparable sales, both through informal networks as well as formally through a sales data bank.

description: Two pyridazinium-p-nitro-phenacylids with different structure of heterocycle are studied in this paper from quantum-mechanic and spectral point of view. The dipole moment and the polarizability of ylids in their ground electronic state estimated by HyperChem and the regression coefficients established in solvatochromic analysis are used to compute the excited state dipole moment of each ylid and the angle between the dipole moments in the ylid electronic states participating to the absorption process.

description: Over crowding and unemployment in big cities and surrounding urbanized areas is a bigproblem for any government. Why is it so? It is so because thousands of unemployedyouth living in village areas always try to come to the big cities in search of employment.In a way nobody can blame these village folk for trying to enter the big cities, becauseinvariably all the big industries and factories are established in these big cities or newlyurbanized areas around them. Some of these unfortunate people are lucky enough to findsome form of suitable employment. But the rest, through desperation, turn to crimebecause there is no other way to survive in these concrete jungles, known as big cities. Soshanty towns spring up everywhere, the under world flourishes because they can find somany young people to do their dirty work. As a result the crime rate in these big citiesrises sky high, and this is a very serious problem for any government.In trying to tackle this problem, the present government under the Mahinda Chinthanayahas come up with a somewhat radical solution. Under this program the government isgiving a lot of attractive incentives to large scale and even small-scale industrialists whoare willing to setup new business ventures away from big cities. The further away they gofrom big cities they get more and better incentives such as tax concessions. This scheme,if properly implemented would at least up to a certain extent, slowdown or decrease thenumber of unemployed village youth trying to migrate to big cities. This in turn wouldcertainly slowdown the over crowding of big cities and thus bring down or help inreducing the crime rate.

description: We reconsider the problem of the hyperon puzzle and its suggested solution by quark deconfinement within the two-phase approach to hybrid compact stars with recently obtained hadronic and quark matter equations of state. For the hadronic phase we employ the hypernuclear equation of state from the lowest order constrained variational method and the quark matter phase is described by a sufficiently stiff equation of state based on a color superconducting nonlocal Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with constant (model nlNJLA) and with density-dependent (model nlNJLB) parameters. We study the model dependence of the phase transition obtained by a Maxwell construction. Our study confirms that also with the present set of equations of state quark deconfinement presents a viable solution of the hyperon puzzle even for the new constraint on the lower limit of the maximum mass from PSR J0740+6620. In this work we provide with model nlNJLB for the first time a hybrid star EoS with an intermediate hypernuclear matter phase between the nuclear and color superconducting quark matter phases, for which the maximum mass of the compact star reaches $2.2~M_\odot$, in accordance with most recent constraints. In model nlNJLA such a phase cannot be realised because the phase transition onset is at low densities, before the hyperon threshold density is passed. We discuss possible consequences of the hybrid equation of state for the deconfinement phase transition in symmetric matter as it will be probed in future heavy-ion collisions at FAIR, NICA and corresponding energy scan programs at the CERN and RHIC facilities.

description: The purpose of this article is to explore how much farmers may engage their lands in Best Management Practices (BMPs) through a water quality trading (WQT) program in Kentucky. We conducted a survey of farmers in the Kentucky River watershed from 2011 to 2012. The questions in our survey are whether and how much farmers may adopt the BMPs (in addition to what they have already used) if they are offered compensation through WQT. About 20% of respondents with respect to five different types of BMPs did not indicate how much they will adopt. We compare three strategies to handle the missing data: deleting the observations with missing value, simple imputation by imputing the mean of the observed value, and Multiple Imputation (MI). Follow these missing data treatments, we estimate the factors affecting how much farmers may engage in BMPs using Tobit model. The results show that increasing the compensation for using BMPs are more likely to encourage farmers to adopt riparian buffers, animal fences and nutrient management. Besides, land area, rent area, farming revenue, percentage of reinvestment to farms from household income, water quality near the farm, participation in government programs, and current experience of BMPs will affect BMPs adoption. The results by using the MI are more promising and reasonable than using the deletion method and mean imputation method.

description: In this paper, we consider a two-stage sequential estimation procedure to estimate the parameters of a cumulative exposure model under an accelerated testing scenario. In particular, we focus on a step-stress model where the stress level changes after a pre-specified number of failures occur, which is also random. This is termed as a ‘random stress change time’ in the literature. We further aim to estimate these parameters using maximum precision and hence use a certain variance optimality criteria. Our proposed two-stage estimation procedures follow interesting efficiency properties and their applicability is seen through extensive simulation analyses and a pseudo-real data example from reliability studies.

description: Unstable heavy particles well above the TeV scale are unaccessible experimentally. So far, Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) provides the strongest limits on their mass and lifetime, the latter being shorter than 0.1 second. We show how these constraints could be potentially tremendously improved by the next generation of Gravitational-Wave (GW) interferometers, extending to lifetimes as short as $10^{-16}$ second. The key point is that these particles may have dominated the energy density of the universe and have triggered a period of matter domination at early times, until their decay before BBN. The resulting modified cosmological history compared to the usually-assumed single radiation era would imprint observable signatures in stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds of primordial origin. In particular, we show how the detection of the GW spectrum produced by long-lasting sources such as cosmic strings would provide a unique probe of particle physics parameters. When applied to specific particle production mechanisms in the early universe, these GW spectra could be used to derive new constraints on many UV extensions of the Standard Model. We illustrate this on a few examples, such as supersymmetric models where the mass scale of scalar moduli and gravitino can be constrained up to $10^{10}$ GeV. Further bounds can be obtained on the reheating temperature of models with only-gravitationally-interacting particles as well as on the kinetic mixing of heavy dark photons at the level of $10^{-18}$.

Superfield approach to BRST cohomology

description: In the framework of superfield formalism, we discuss some aspects of the cohomological features of a two (1+1)-dimensional free Abelian gauge theory described by a Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) invariant Lagrangian density. We demonstrate that the conserved and nilpotent (anti-)BRST- and (anti-)co-BRST charges are the generators of translations along the Grassmannian directions of the four (2+2)-dimensional supermanifold. A bosonic symmetry is shown to be generated by a Noether conserved charge that generates a translation along a bosonic direction of the supermanifold which turns out to be equivalent to a couple of successive translations along the two different and independent Grassmannian directions of the same supermanifold. Algebraically, these charges are found to be analogous to the de Rham cohomology operators of differential geometry.

description: In this work, nanocomposites of GO@AuNPs were synthesised to be used for trace determination of thiram in both biological and water samples. The morphology and structure of nanocomposites which were characterised by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), revealed their successful preparation with particle size diameters in the range of 60 to100 nm. According to the optimised experimental conditions, relative standard deviation (RSD) and detection of limit (LOD) for thiram were 4.5% and1.2 mg L−1 (for 15.0mg L−1thiram, n = 7), respectively. The adsorption kinetics studies revealed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model where the corresponding process was spontaneous and endothermic. The isotherm investigations showed that the Freundlich isotherm had more ability for fitting equilibrium data.

description: This paper estimates the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) index for the U.S. agricultural sector from the period 1970 to 2004 and decomposes the resulting TFP estimation in the Trans-logarithmic production function for U.S. agriculture for the same period to determine the residual measure that explains variation in output aside from land, labor and capital inputs. The objective is to identify the major sources of agricultural productivity in the U.S. from the period mentioned and furthermore estimate the residual in the production function that the Neoclassical production function does not explicitly explain.The results indicate a collective contribution of intermediate inputs such as pesticides use and energy inputs and infrastructural development spending such as overall federal disbursement on highway on TFP and consequently on agricultural output growth for the time period under consideration.

description: In this paper we overview some results on the hydrogen atom in external static uniform magnetic fields. We focus on the case of very strong magnetic field, B>>B_0=2.3x10^9 Gauss, use various approximate models and, particularly, in the adiabatic approximation have calculated exactly the integral defining the effective potential. This potential appears to be finite at z=0. Our consideration of the problem of highly magnetized atoms and molecules is motivated by the recently developed MagneGas technology by Santilli (http://www.magnegas.com). The ground state electron charge distribution of the hydrogen atom in an intense magnetic field is of a toroidal form, in agreement with that studied by Santilli. This physical picture is at the foundation of the new chemical species of magnecules proposed by Santilli.

description: Exotic duality suggests a link between gauge theories for differential p-forms and tensor fields of mixed symmetry [D-2,p] in D spacetime dimensions. On the other hand, standard Hodge duality relates p-form to (D-p-2)-form gauge potentials by exchanging their field equations and Bianchi identities. Following the methodology and the recent proposal of Henneaux, Lekeu and Leonard that the double dual of the free graviton is algebraically related to the original graviton and does not provide a new, independent description of the gravitational field, we examine the status of exotic duality for p-forms. We find that the exotic dual is algebraically related to the standard dual of a differential form and therefore they provide equivalent descriptions as free fields. Introducing sources then leads to currents being proportional. This relation is extended in a straightforward way for higher exotic duals of the mixed symmetry type [D-2,...,D-2,p].

description: l-Cysteine-modified dendritic fibrous nanosilica grafted by amine groups (Cys-DFNS-NH2) have been synthesized by a novel hydrothermal method. The N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms analysis on the Cys-DFNS-NH2 show that the average pore volume and surface area of the prepared fibrous Cys-DFNS-NH2 were 2.2 cm3/g and 205 m2/g, respectively, while the average pore size is 6.06 nm. Adsorption behavior of the Cys-DFNS-NH2 for Cd2+, Cu2+, Ag+, and Pb2+ was investigated by electrochemical methods. The results show that Cys-DFNS-NH2 can selectively adsorb Cd2+, Ag+, and Pb2+ in different potentials. Finally, the application of the engineered adsorbent for the removal of Cd2+, Ag+, and Pb2+ from contaminated water samples was examined. This work provides a new platform to the synthesis of Cys-DFNS-NH2 with high specific surface area for efficient adsorbent of specific metal ions.

On the impact of magnetic-field models in galaxy clusters on constraints on axion-like particles from the lack of irregularities in high-energy spectra of astrophysical sources

description: Photons may convert to axion-like particles (ALPs) in external magnetic fields. Under certain conditions, this effect should result in irregular features in observed spectra of astrophysical sources. Lack of such irregularities in particular spectra was used to constrain ALP parameters, with two most popular sources being the radio galaxy NGC 1275 and the blazar PKS 2155-304. The effect and, consequently, the constraints, depend on the magnetic fields through which the light from the source is propagated. Here, we revisit ALP constraints from gamma-ray observations of NGC 1275 taking into account the regular magnetic field of the X-ray cavity observed around this radio galaxy. This field was not accounted for in previous studies, which assumed a model of purely turbulent fields with coherence length much smaller than the cavity size. For the purely regular field, ALP constraints are relaxed considerably, compared to the purely turbulent one. While the actual magnetic field around a source is an unknown sum of the turbulent and ordered components, the difference in results gives an estimate of the theoretical uncertainty of the study and calls for detailed measurements of magnetic fields around sources used to constrain ALP properties in this approach.

Correlation energy, quantum phase transition, and bias potential effects in quantum Hall bilayers at nu=1

description: We study the correlation energy, the effective anisotropy parameter, and quantum fluctuations of the pseudospin magnetization in bilayer quantum Hall systems at total filling factor nu=1 by means of exact diagonalizations of the Hamiltonian in the spherical geometry. We compare exact diagonalization results for the ground state energy with finite-size Hartree-Fock values. In the ordered ground state phase at small layer separations the Hartree-Fock data compare reasonably with the exact results. Above the critical layer separation, however, the Hartree-Fock findings still predict an increase in the ground state energy, while the exact ground state energy is in this regime independent of the layer separation indicating the decoupling of layers and the loss of spontaneous phase coherence between them. We also find accurate values for the pseudospin anisotropy constant whose dependence of the layer separation provides another very clear indication for the strong interlayer correlations in the ordered phase and shows an inflection point at the phase boundary. Finally we discuss the possibility of interlayer correlations in biased systems even above the phase boundary for the balanced case. Certain features of our data for the pseudospin anisotropy constant as well as for quantum fluctuations of the pseudospin magnetization are not inconsistent with the occurence of this effect. However, it appears to be rather weak at least in the limit of vanishing tunneling amplitude.

description: Twisted Bilayer Graphene at the magic twist angle features flat energy bands, which lead to superconductivity and strong correlation physics. These unique properties are typically limited to a narrow range of twist angles around the magic angle with a small allowed tolerance. Here we report on a mechanism that enables flattening of the band-structure using coherent optical illumination, leading to emergence of flat isolated Floquet-Bloch bands. We show that the effect can be realized with relatively weak optical beams at the visible-infrared range (below the material bandwidth) and persist for a wide range of small twist angles, increasing the allowed twist tolerance by an order of magnitude. We discuss the conditions under which these bands exhibit a non-zero Chern number. These optically induced flat bands could potentially host strongly-correlated, non-equilibrium electronic states of matter.

A major innovation involved the analysis of the impact of income distribution on LDC cereal import demand in 1986 and 1987 for a more restricted sample of 23 nations. These~ developing countries exhibit a greater than proportional increase in cereal imports due to an increase in the income share of the poorest 40 percent of their populations. The inclusion of regional slope and intercept dummies in the cereal import demand model also provides improved results. High levels of government debt appear to have inhibited cereal imports in nations in South America but not in Asia and Africa. In all three continental regions, particularly Africa, there is a positive relationship between food aid and cereal imports. The model predicts cereal imports more satisfactorily for nations in Asia and South America than for those in Africa. Finally, the results support the view that improvements in income distribution in developing nations would considerably stimulate cereal imports.

description: During the past 15 years, there has been a high level of direct government intervention in food grain marketing in Ethiopia. To maintain its strong hold on the grain market, the government established a compulsory delivery quota system for both producers and traders, with geographically uniform fixed prices with no seasonal variation. Licenced traders were .banned in surplus-producing regions, and grain movements between surplus and deficit regions were restricted. As a result of the government's direct intervention in the grain market, markets beca·me disrupted geographically. The integrated market systems were cut off, giving way to the creation of segmented markets. The prices in these segmented markets were uncorrelated and created distorted prices. The distorted prices in turn led to artificial shortages of food crops. Recognizing the social and economic problems associated with the government's marketing and pricing policies during the late 1970s and the 1980s, a free market system was adopted in February 1990. Since then, the market has experienced price fluctuations related to supply and demand.

description: We develop Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithms for constrained Hamiltonian systems of gauge- Higgs models and introduce a new observable for the constraint effective Higgs potential. We use an extension of the so-called Rattle algorithm to general Hamiltonians for constrained systems, which we adapt to the 4D Abelian-Higgs model and the 5D SU(2) gauge theory on the torus and on the orbifold. The derivative of the potential is measured via the expectation value of the Lagrange multiplier for the constraint condition and allows a much more precise determination of the effective potential than conventional histogram methods. With the new method, we can access the potential over the full domain of the Higgs variable, while the histogram method is restricted to a short region around the expectation value of the Higgs field in unconstrained simulations, and the statistical precision does not deteriorate when the volume is increased. We further verify our results by comparing to the one-loop Higgs potential of the 4D Abelian-Higgs model in unitary gauge and find good agreement. To our knowledge, this is the first time this problem has been addressed for theories with gauge fields. The algorithm can also be used in four dimensions to study finite temperature and density transitions via effective Polyakov loop actions.

description: A computable general equilibrium model based on a social accounting matrix for Kenya is used to simulate the effects of 10-percent devaluation, 10-percent increased.investment, and 10-percent agricultural productivity improvement on the macroeconomy and on the real incomes of the poor. For each policy simulation, two specifications for the labour markets are adopted, the first assuming unlimited supplies of labour at given nominal wages and the second assuming fixed supplies so that wages are determined endogenously. These crucially affect the results. Under the first assumption, devaluation provides a 10-percent boost to real GDP and has highly favourable effects on agricultural production, exports, the current account deficit, employment, and poverty. Under the second assumption, it has a largely inflationary impact, with attenuated effects on real GDP and other variables and no effect on the current-account deficit. Agricultural productivity improvement is less affected by the different · specifications and compares favourably with devaluation except for its smaller impact on GDP. The increased investment policy is found to be inferior on most counts. All three policies decrease poverty, though income distribution remains stable.
Robust, Expressive, and Quantitative Linear Temporal Logics: Pick any Two for Free

description: Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) is the standard specification language for reactive systems and is successfully applied in industrial settings. However, many shortcomings of LTL have been identified in the literature, among them the limited expressiveness, the lack of quantitative features, and the inability to express robustness. There is work on overcoming these shortcomings, but each of these is typically addressed in isolation. This is insufficient for applications where all shortcomings manifest themselves simultaneously. Here, we tackle this issue by introducing logics that address more than one shortcoming. To this end, we combine the logics Linear Dynamic Logic, Prompt-LTL, and robust LTL, each addressing one aspect, to new logics. For all combinations of two aspects, the resulting logic has the same desirable algorithmic properties as plain LTL. In particular, the highly efficient algorithmic backends that have been developed for LTL are also applicable to these new logics. Finally, we discuss how to address all three aspects simultaneously.

description: Studying neuronal circuits at cellular resolution is very challenging in vertebrates due to the size and optical turbidity of their brains. Danionella translucida, a close relative of zebrafish, was recently introduced as a model organism for investigating neural network interactions in adult individuals. Danionella remains transparent throughout its life, has the smallest known vertebrate brain and possesses a rich repertoire of complex behaviours. Here we sequenced, assembled and annotated the Danionella translucida genome employing a hybrid Illumina/Nanopore read library as well as RNA-seq of embryonic, larval and adult mRNA. We achieved high assembly continuity using low-coverage long-read data and annotated a large fraction of the transcriptome. This dataset will pave the way for molecular research and targeted genetic manipulation of this novel model organism.

description: BACKGROUND: Cardiac power output (CPO), derived from the product of cardiac output and mean aortic pressure, is an important yet underexploited parameter for hemodynamic monitoring of critically ill patients in the intensive-care unit (ICU). The conductance catheter-derived pressure-volume loop area reflects left ventricular stroke work (LV SW). Dividing LV SW by time, a measure of LV SW min- 1 is obtained sharing the same unit as CPO (W). We aimed to validate CPO as a marker of LV SW min- 1 under various inotropic states. METHODS: We retrospectively analysed data obtained from experimental studies of the hemodynamic impact of mild hypothermia and hyperthermia on acute heart failure. Fifty-nine anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated closed-chest Landrace pigs (68 ± 1 kg) were instrumented with Swan-Ganz and LV pressure-volume catheters. Data were obtained at body temperatures of 33.0 °C, 38.0 °C and 40.5 °C; before and after: resuscitation, myocardial infarction, endotoxemia, sevoflurane-induced myocardial depression and beta-adrenergic stimulation. We plotted LVSW min- 1 against CPO by linear regression analysis, as well as against the following classical indices of LV function and work: LV ejection fraction (LV EF), rate-pressure product (RPP), triple product (TP), LV maximum pressure (LVPmax) and maximal rate of rise of LVP (LV dP/dtmax). RESULTS: CPO showed the best correlation with LV SW min- 1 (r2 = 0.89; p

U Can Touch This! Microarchitectural Timing Attacks via Machine Clears

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Microarchitectural timing attacks exploit subtle timing variations caused by hardware behaviors to leak sensitive information. In this paper, we introduce MCHammer, a novel side-channel technique that leverages machine clears induced by self-modifying code detection mechanisms. Unlike most traditional techniques, MCHammer does not require memory access or waiting periods, making it highly efficient. We compare MCHammer to the classical Flush+Reload technique, improving in terms of trace granularity, providing a powerful side-channel attack vector. Using MCHammer, we successfully recover keys from a deployed implementation of a cryptographic tool. Our findings highlight the practical implications of MCHammer and its potential impact on real-world systems.
