description: Authors showed that multiple factors have to be gathered for research to be able to serve development through policy decision. An effective way to bridge applied research and policy in order to maximize mutual benefits is to build a sound and early partnership based on a clear framework so that research can provide relevant “understandable and usable” information to decision-makers. This is the basis on which the Value Chain Analysis for Development (VCA4D) project (2016- 2022) was established. VCA4D is a partnership between the European Commission and Agrinatura, the alliance of European universities working together for agricultural research and education for development. This initiative intends to provide evidence-based knowledge to analyse development impacts of the value chains operations so as to help decision for investment projects in agriculture and to facilitate sectorial policy dialogue. Policy makers consider value chains as strategic elements for their policies. In order to achieve the overarching goal of inclusive and sustainable growth, support to value chains demands for the social, economic and environmental dimensions are thoroughly considered. The objective of this paper is to show how VCA4D applied sustainable development concept for value chain analysis to establish a manageable set of criteria allowing to provide quantitative information, which is desperately lacking in many situations in developing economies, usable by decision makers and in line with policymakers concerns and strategies (the “international development agenda”). The use of researchers to perform the analysis, contributes to the reinforcement of the linkages and mutual understanding between researchers and policy makers.

description: Analysis of the current state of landscapes allowed to zoning the landscapes of the republic by the degree of anthropogenic disturb. Territories with various anthropogenic disturbs reveal a clear connection with certain types of mountain landscapes. Within the high-altitude and middle-class tiers of landscapes, the pattern of man-made disturb belongs to the striped class and is formed within the high-altitude landscape zones. In the northern (low-) part of the republic, due to the unevenness of the man-made load, it acquires a mosaic pattern. Here, it is not the high-altitude, but the geomorphological factor in the placement of certain types of environmental management. The time of residential areas to the bottoms of river valleys is very rigidly manifested.

description: The Aharonov--Bohm effect in a model system described by the generalized Schrödinger equation is considered. The scattering cross section is calculated in the standard formulation: an electron beam impinges on a long impenetrable solenoid encompassing a magnetic field. It is shown that the incident wave is scattered regardless of whether the magnetic flux through the solenoid is an integer of flux quanta whereby the scattering cross section becomes a continuously nonzero function of the total magnetic flux. The problem may find its application in investigations of the soliton-magnon interaction in the low-dimensional magnetism.

description: The extraction of main content from web pages is an important task for numerous applications, ranging from usability aspects, like reader views for news articles in web browsers, to information retrieval or natural language processing. Existing approaches are lacking as they rely on large amounts of hand-crafted features for classification. This results in models that are tailored to a specific distribution of web pages, e.g. from a certain time frame, but lack in generalization power. We propose a neural sequence labeling model that does not rely on any hand-crafted features but takes only the HTML tags and words that appear in a web page as input. This allows us to present a browser extension which highlights the content of arbitrary web pages directly within the browser using our model. In addition, we create a new, more current dataset to show that our model is able to adapt to changes in the structure of web pages and outperform the state-of-the-art model.

description: Developments in science, technologies, complexity of industrial infrastructure facilities sustaining life necessary systems are associated with an increased dangers of their functioning at all stages of the life cycle. These dangers are characterized by man-made risks that determine the likelihood of hazardous processes and damage from them. Industry-related risks together with natural and anthropogenic risks are integral risks. The tasks of ensuring safety are coming down to the achievement through calculations and experiments of an acceptable level of risks with the necessary estimated economic costs. Approbation of the described approach is carried out on the example of nuclear power plants.

description: We observes a signal for the double charm baryon Xi_cc+ in the charged decay mode Xi_cc+ -> p D+ K- to complement the previously reported decay Xi_cc+ -> Lambda_c K- pi+ in data from SELEX, the charm hadro-production experiment (E781) at Fermilab. In this new decay mode we observe an excess of 5.62 events over an expected background estimated by event mixing to be 1.38+/-0.13 events. The Poisson probability that a background fluctuation can produce the apparent signal is less than 6.4E-4. The observed mass of this state is (3518+/-3)MeV/c^2, consistent with the published result. Averaging the two results gives a mass of (3518.7+/-1.7)MeV/c^2. The observation of this new weak decay mode confirms the previous SELEX suggestion that this state is a double charm baryon. The relative branching ratio Gamma(Xi_cc+ -> pD+K-)/Gamma(Xi_cc+ -> Lambda_c K- pi+) = 0.36+/-0.21.

description: Red Lake Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a naturally occurring blend of diatomaceous earth and calcium bentonite that can be used as an anti-caking agent in animal feed and contains naturally occurring dioxins. A quantitative risk assessment was conducted to assess potential human health risk associated with consumption of edible tissues from livestock exposed to dioxins via feed containing Red Lake DE. Empirical data characterising the transfer of dioxins to eggs and other tissues in chickens demonstrate that resulting concentrations in eggs are lower than those found in the general food supply. These data also provided product-specific input for a risk assessment conducted both with default parameters and with media-specific input from the feed study. Results demonstrate that exposure to dioxins in edible tissue from livestock that consumed Red Lake DE in feed would not be associated with an increased risk to humans. Findings from this assessment highlight the utility and importance of accounting for bioavailability as part of health-based risk assessment and provide information critical to risk managers in determining the safe use of Red Lake DE as an anticaking agent in livestock and pet feed.

description: We prove a generalization of Kirchhoff's matrix-tree theorem in which a large class of combinatorial objects are represented by non-Gaussian Grassmann integrals. As a special case, we show that unrooted spanning forests, which arise as a q \to 0 limit of the Potts model, can be represented by a Grassmann theory involving a Gaussian term and a particular bilocal four-fermion term. We show that this latter model can be mapped, to all orders in perturbation theory, onto the N-vector model at N=-1 or, equivalently, onto the sigma-model taking values in the unit supersphere in R^{1|2}. It follows that, in two dimensions, this fermionic model is perturbatively asymptotically free.

description: Living creatures exhibit a remarkable diversity of locomotion mechanisms, evolving structures specialised for interacting with their environment. In the vast majority of cases, locomotor behaviours such as flying, crawling, and running, are orchestrated by nervous systems. Surprisingly, microorganisms can enact analogous movement gaits for swimming using multiple, fast-moving cellular protrusions called cilia and flagella. Here, I demonstrate intermittency, reversible rhythmogenesis, and gait mechanosensitivity in algal flagella, to reveal the active nature of locomotor patterning. In addition to maintaining free-swimming gaits, I show that the algal flagellar apparatus functions as a central pattern generator which encodes the beating of each flagellum in a network in a distinguishable manner. The latter provides a novel symmetry-breaking mechanism for cell reorientation. These findings imply that the capacity to generate and coordinate complex locomotor patterns does not require neural circuitry but rather the minimal ingredients are present in simple unicellular organisms.

description: Spherulites are birefringent sturctures with spherical symmetry, which are typically observed in crystallized polymers. We compute the band structure of opals made of close-packed assemblies of highly birefringent spherulites. We demonstrate that spherulitic birefringence of constituent spheres does not affect the symmetries of an opal, and yet significantly affects the dispersion of eigenmodes, leading to new pseudogaps in sections of the band structure, and consequently enhanced reflectivity.
title: The Specification of Dorsal and Lateral Pattern in the Drosophila Embryo
Creators: name: Esguerra, Camila Vicencio
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1994

description: The dorsal-ventral axis of the Drosophila embryo is established through the nuclear gradient expression of the maternal morphogen dorsal, which sets up the dorsal, lateral, and ventral domains along the embryo circumference. The steps from this maternal signal to the onset of patterning and morphogenesis is quite rapid, and although genetic approaches have identified several zygotic genes that are transcriptionally regulated by dorsal, the direct targets of these zygotic genes, as well as other targets of dorsal, are still unknown.

 A molecular screen was utilized in order to identify genes that are differentially expressed along the dorsal-ventral axis, with a specific focus on dorsal-lateral genes involved in patterning and differentiation. A subtractive cDNA library highly enriched for genes expressed in the dorsal and lateral regions of the embryo was screened twice. From the two screens, 24 non-crosshybridizing clones were obtained, 21 of which appear to be novel genes based on preliminary sequence analysis and in situ hybridization patterns. Two clones turned out to be cDNA fragments of previously identified genes. One clone had an identical sequence to the Drosophila POU domain genes pdm-1 and pdm-2, while the other turned out to be tolloid, one of the dorsal-ventral patterning genes.

 In conjunction with previously described genes, several clones from the library were then chosen to serve as molecular markers for specific domains along the dorsal-ventral axis. In situ hybridizations were performed on a series of mutant embryos either lacking progressively larger portions of the dorsal part of the embryo (zygotic ventralizing mutants), or lacking the entire mesoderm (twist snail double mutants). The aim of this thesis was to understand how patterning along the dorsal-ventral axis occurs, and to determine whether the current model on how the genes for the zygotic ventralizing mutants interact with one another to pattern the dorsal part of the embryo is correct. Indeed, a number of results show that this model may have to be revised.

description: Recent work by Sromovsky et al. (2017, Icarus 291, 232-244) suggested that all red colour in Jupiter's atmosphere could be explained by a single colour-carrying compound, a so-called 'universal chromophore'. We tested this hypothesis on ground-based spectroscopic observations in the visible and near-infrared (480-930 nm) from the VLT/MUSE instrument between 2014 and 2018, retrieving a chromophore absorption spectrum directly from the North Equatorial Belt, and applying it to model spatial variations in colour, tropospheric cloud and haze structure on Jupiter. We found that we could model both the belts and the Great Red Spot of Jupiter using the same chromophore compound, but that this chromophore must exhibit a steeper blue-absorption gradient than the proposed chromophore of Carlson et al. (2016, Icarus 274, 106-115). We retrieved this chromophore to be located no deeper than 0.2+/-0.1 bars in the Great Red Spot and 0.7+/-0.1 bars elsewhere on Jupiter. However, we also identified some spectral variability between 510 nm and 540 nm that could not be accounted for by a universal chromophore. In addition, we retrieved a thick, global cloud layer at 1.4+/-0.3 bars that was relatively spatially invariant in altitude across Jupiter. We found that this cloud layer was best characterised by a real refractive index close to that of ammonia ice in the belts and the Great Red Spot, and poorly characterised by a real refractive index of 1.6 or greater. This may be the result of ammonia cloud at higher altitude obscuring a deeper cloud layer of unknown composition.

description: Designing agri-environment schemes (AESs), the European Union’s main policy tool to improve the environmental performance of farms, that result in participation in the areas of most need is a challenge faced by policymakers. A number of high level options are available to policy makers including the use of voluntary and mandatory measures, top-down versus participatory approaches, collaborative versus coordinated participation, and whether to target the schemes or apply them horizontally. Using Ireland as a case study, this paper assesses the evolving structure of AES design in the context of changing environmental targets, by creating an institutional framework to analyse past and current AESs and other measures. This information is then used in a spatial analysis comparing the location of important environmental public goods to participation in agri-environment schemes. The analysis shows that although higher uptake in extensive farming areas may not result in additionality, due to their extensive nature, these areas may contain high concentrations of areas of environmental concern. However, the optimal design of an AES depends on whether the specific public good targeted is global or localised as the distribution of areas of environmental concern does not always follow strong spatial patterns.

description: The discussion on sustainability of development is followed by constant search for its appropriate indicators. If the authors dealing with sustainability in agriculture manage to cover all three its dimensions (economic, environmental, and social), they quite often calculate joint indicator as a simple sum or (sometimes weighted) average of three partial indicators, not paying enough attention to the balance and interdependencies between the partial indicators. The goal of this paper is to measure and assess the interdependencies between partial sustainability indicators. Basing on literature and expert knowledge, the authors prepared 109 questions in order to construct 7 partial indicators of sustainability: correctness of farm management practice (crops), correctness of farm management practice (animals), understanding environmental issues, production potential, economic potential, living conditions of the farmer's family, farmer's psychological comfort. The research was carried out in 600 farms that participate in Polish FADN, based on standard FADN data and additional information based on interviews with farmers. The analysis revealed that the partial correlations between partial indicators was relatively strong and negative, which means that reaching all sustainability goals simultaneously is a difficult issue, as they compete with each other. It is concluded that assessing farm sustainability with the use of simple aggregation of variables is not correct.

description: The current trend continues in almost all areas of oil and gas production. The reason is trivial: the lack of interest among the users of natural resources themselves and, as a consequence, the lack of sufficient material resources necessary for the restoration of resource-developed territories. At the present stage, this problem is becoming more and more acute for companies, but the main reason is not in the consciousness of enterprises, but in the tightening of requirements at the legislative level and the deterioration of the profitability of the extracted raw materials. That is, environmental problems continue to grow, but it becomes more and more difficult to regulate them due to their colossal neglect [3]. A decrease in the profitability of deposits, wear and tear of technological equipment and assets lead to a deterioration in the quality of raw materials and a decrease in the efficiency of the work performed, which, together with social problems, only entails an aggravation of the ecological situation. These aspects have a significant impact on the productivity of companies in general especially in the environmental sense that are undercapitalized.

description: Abstract This paper uses the Average Treatment Effect framework to determine population potential adoption rates of KK 15 beans when awareness of the variety and knowledge of nutrition attributes is not a constraint. The KK 15 bean is a new variety that contains high levels of zinc and iron, and thus important in the fight against micro-nutrient deficiency in Kenya. The results show that actual population adoption rates of KK 15 beans was 21 percent for the variety aware group, and 31 percent for nutrition attribute knowledge aware group. After controlling for heterogeneous information exposure, the results show that the potential population adoption rates of KK 15 beans would have been 28 percent for variety awareness unconstrained, and 38 percent for nutrition knowledge unconstrained. Coefficients of the ATE model to determine factors influencing adoption are bigger than classical models, implying that the classical model under-estimates the effects. The adoption gap resulting from KK15 variety awareness exposure is 9 percent, and 6 percent for nutrition attribute knowledge. Policies aimed at improving adoption of bio fortified crops need to focus on improving access to information on the varieties and their nutrition attributes through nutrition sensitive extension services.

description: In this study we reproduced this compression-induced reduction in muscle force through the use of a three-dimensional finite element model of contracting muscle. The model used the principle of minimum total energy and allowed for the redistribution of energy through different strain energy-densities; this allowed us to determine the importance of the strain energy-densities to the transverse forces developed by the muscle. Furthermore, we were able to study how external work done on the muscle by transverse compression affects the internal work and strain-energy distribution of the muscle.

description: Candelas and Font introduced the notion of a `top' as half of a three dimensional reflexive polytope and noticed that Dynkin diagrams of enhanced gauge groups in string theory can be read off from them. We classify all tops satisfying a generalized definition as a lattice polytope with one facet containing the origin and the other facets at distance one from the origin. These objects torically encode the local geometry of a degeneration of an elliptic fibration. We give a prescription for assigning an affine, possibly twisted Kac-Moody algebra to any such top (and more generally to any elliptic fibration structure) in a precise way that involves the lengths of simple roots and the coefficients of null roots. Tops related to twisted Kac-Moody algebras can be used to construct string compactifications with reduced rank of the gauge group.

description: There is developed a current algebra representation scheme for reconstructing algebraically factorized quantum Hamiltonian and symmetry operators in the Fock type space and its application to quantum Hamiltonian and symmetry operators in case of quantum integrable spatially many- and one-dimensional dynamical systems. As examples, we have studied in detail the factorized structure of Hamiltonian operators, describing such quantum integrable spatially many- and one-dimensional models as generalized oscillatory, Calogero-Sutherland, Coulomb type and nonlinear Schrödinger dynamical systems of spinless bose-particles.

description: Climate change and consequent appearance of natural hazards (floods, droughts, soil erosion, landslides) is major problem globally, and a subject of many scientific, expert and politics meetings and therefore solutions are being sought to mitigate its consequences. Because of climate change, agricultural production is very uncertain during unfavourable hydrological years, in which vegetation deficit or surplus precipitation appears, causing deficit or surplus moisture in rootzone with negative impact on growing and development of plants. To achieve safe agricultural production, hydrotechnical structures are often utilized: flood protection systems, ameliorative drainage systems, as well as irrigation systems. If hydro-ameliorative systems already exist, they often require reconstruction (adaptation) in addition to maintenance.

description: The short supply chain is a specific form of circular economy philosophy in agriculture and food processing which contributes to decreasing the environmental burden of production and consumption. There are considerable differences between the levels of development of these systems in the European Union. The aim of the current manuscript is to clarify the socio-economic causes of this contradiction. Applying the approach of institutional economics, based on expert estimations from ten EU member states using the MACTOR method, the authors have determined the influence-dependence relations between relevant actors, and the actor-goal connections in the socio-economic systems relevant for short supply chains in EU member states. It has been proved that in those new member states under examination which joined the EU in 2004, the considerable cost-efficiency advantages of global supply chains paired with the high level of influence of multinational trade companies are, in most cases, more important factors than sustainable development. The most important steps for the development of short supply chains are: (1) increasing food safety by supporting quality control systems in small scale food processors; (2) stricter control on the competitive behaviour of large-scale trading companies; (3) upgrading the marketing strategy of short supply chain partners.

Renormalized nonperturbative fermion model in Covariant Light Front Dynamics

description: Within the framework of the covariant formulation of Light-Front Dynamics, we develop a nonperturbative renormalization scheme in the fermion model supposing that the composite fermion is a superposition of the "bare" fermion and a fermion+boson state. We first assume the constituent boson to be spinless. Then we address the case of gauge bosons in the Feynman and in the Light-Cone gauges. For all these cases the fermion state vector and the necessary renormalization counterterms are calculated analytically. It turns out that in Light-Front Dynamics, to restore the rotational invariance, an extra counterterm is needed, having no any analogue in Feynman approach. For gauge bosons the results obtained in the two gauges are compared with each other. In general, the number of spin components of the two-body (fermion+boson) wave function depends on the gauge. But due to the two-body Fock space truncation, only one non-zero component survives for each gauge. And moreover, the whole solutions for the state vector, found for the Feynman and Light-Cone gauges, are the same (except for the normalization factor). The counterterms are however different

description: The section of the Kura River from the downstream of the Mingechevir dam to the Caspian Sea is called the Lower Kura. The Kura River flows on an alluvial layer, created by him over the millennia. The water course has turbulent character, with transverse circulation. The dynamic axis of water flow wanders. Water has character of a disperse liquid. In turbulent flow the disperse liquid behaves as an emery paper. It considerably accelerates process of erosion of coastal dams. According to our field investigations and theoretical estimations, in some years of a high water annual displacement of meanders reaches 9 ÷10m. Case studies have shown that the displacement of the meander on the Kura River passing through the villages of Ashagy Surra, Yukhary Garaimanly and Kurgarabujag in the Neftchala region was 450 m over 50 years (1967-2017). The region is densely populated and has a dense infrastructure. The horizontal displacement of the meander leads to the destruction of coastal structures and creates the risk of flooding. The economic damage caused by the flooding in 2010 was over US $ 500 million.

description: Collective action via smallholder co-operatives is extensively discussed in the literature as an institutional solution to overcome market failures in developing countries. In some cases, however, the establishment of farmer groups incurs transaction costs that imply farmers may be better off not organizing. The success of collective action depends on the ability of individuals to make credible commitments and participation. Technical and human skills are also important for a group to succeed. In Ethiopia, co-operatives are actively promoted by the government to play a role in the agricultural sector. However, in the country in general and Tigray region in particular, the situation with co-operatives doesn't seem to be favorable for the full exploitation of the benefits of collective action: the majority of the co-operatives are established under the impulse of external partners without regard to the farmers' real needs and interests. Applying insights from game theory, this study examines the existence of economic incentives for farmers' collective action in the study area by testing for the condition of cost subadditivity in service provision. Findings show that costs would drop by 28.32 - 92.3% if farmers join hands in relatively big rather than small co-operatives.

description: State-of-the-art NLTE model-atmosphere codes have arrived at a high level of numerical sophistication and are now useful tools to analyze high-quality spectra from the infrared to the X-ray wavelength range. The capacity of current computers permit calculations which include line spectra from all elements from hydrogen up to the iron group. The lack of reliable atomic data has become a critical problem for further progress. We summarize available sources of atomic data, and discuss how these are implemented in the Tuebingen Model-Atmosphere Package TMAP. We describe our Iron Opacity Interface IrOnIc which is used to calculate opacities of iron-group elements from Kurucz's and the Opacity Project's data. We propose general use of the Tuebingen Model-Atom Database TMAD, which would allow an easy exchange of ready-to-use model atoms between all model-atmosphere groups. The comparison of model-atmosphere calculations would then be much easier, and would save a great deal of manpower that is presently consumed preparing suitable model atoms for spectral analyses.
