description: We present an analysis of the UV (IUE) spectra of the central stars of Hb7 and Sp3. Comparison with the IUE spectrum of the standard star HD 93205 leads to a spectral classification of O3V for these stars, with an effective temperature of 50,000 K. From the P-Cygni profiles of CIV (1550 A), we derive stellar wind velocities and mass loss rates of -1317 km/s +/- 300 km/s and 2.9X10^{-8} solar mass yr^{-1} and -1603 km/s +/- 400 km/s and 7X10^{-9} solar mass yr^{-1} for Hb7 and Sp3 respectively. From all the available data, we reconstruct the spectral energy distribution of Hb7 and Sp3.

description: Standard poverty measures provide a snapshot of poverty at a single point in time but they cannot capture the distribution of poverty across time. This distribution matters at the individual level where it distinguishes between chronic and transitory poverty and at the aggregate level as it captures economic mobility across the poverty line. This paper proposes three new classes of poverty measures to account for how poverty is distributed across households over time. Each class of measures represents an intertemporal extensions of the standard Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty indices. The paper shows that each class of measures is an improvement on the standard practice of applying FGTs directly to intertemporal welfare data. Each class of measures requires choosing a parameter representing society’s preferences towards the intertemporal distribution of poverty. Choosing among them depends on the monitoring and evaluation problem of interest. The applications to panel data from rural Pakistan show that the different methods of accounting for the intertemporal distribution of poverty across households substantially increase estimates of poverty indices suggesting that the standard practice of using snapshot poverty measures underestimates the real level of aggregate poverty.

description: An exact model for magnetized and rotating outflows, underpressured at their axis, is analysed by means of a nonlinear separation of the variables in the two-dimensional governing magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations for axisymmetric plasmas. The outflow starts subsonically and subAlfvénically from the central gravitating source and its surrounding accretion disk and after crossing the MHD critical points, high values of the Alfvén Mach number may be reached. Three broad types of solutions are found: (a) collimated jet-type outflows from efficient magnetic rotators where the outflow is confined by the magnetic hoop stress; (b) collimated outflows from inefficient magnetic rotators where the outflow is cylindrically confined by thermal pressure gradients; and (c) radially expanding wind-type outflows analogous to the solar wind. In most of the cases examined cylindrically collimated (jet-type) outflows are naturally emerging with thermal and magnetic effects competing in the acceleration and the confinement of the jet. The interplay of all MHD volumetric forces in accelerating and confining the jet is displayed along all its length and for several parameters. The solutions may be used for a physical understanding of astrophysical outflows, such as those associated with young stellar objects, planetary nebulae, extragalactic jets, etc.

description: Climate change has the potential to impact groundwater availability in several ways. For example, it may cause farmers to change the crops they plant or the amount of water they apply, both of which have implications for water availability. Climate change also affect water availability directly by changes in precipitation and evapotranspiration patterns. In this paper, we analyze the effects of changes in temperature, precipitation, and humidity on groundwater extraction for agriculture using an econometric model of a farmer’s irrigation water pumping decision that accounts for both the intensive (water use) and extensive margins (crop acreage). Our research focuses on the groundwater used for agriculture in the High Plains (Ogallala) Aquifer system of the Midwestern United States. We find that changes in climate variables will influence crop selection decisions, crop acreage allocation decisions, technology adoption, and the demand for water by farmers. We also find that such changes in behavior can affect the diversity of crops planted, potentially impacting agricultural biodiversity.

description: In this article is analyzed technology of automatic text abstracting and annotation. The role of annotation in automatic search and classification for different scientific articles is described. The algorithm of summarization of natural language documents using the concept of importance coefficients is developed. Such concept allows considering the peculiarity of subject areas and topics that could be found in different kinds of documents. Method for generating abstracts of single document based on frequency analysis is developed. The recognition elements for unstructured text analysis are given. The method of pre-processing analysis of several documents is developed. This technique simultaneously considers both statistical approaches to abstracting and the importance of terms in a particular subject domain. The quality of generated abstract is evaluated. For the developed system there was conducted experts evaluation. It was held only for texts in Ukrainian. The developed system concluding essay has higher aggregate score on all criteria. The summarization system architecture is building. To build an information system model there is used CASE-tool AllFusion ERwin Data Modeler. The database scheme for information saving was built. The system is designed to work primarily with Ukrainian texts, which gives a significant advantage, since most modern systems still oriented to English texts

description: Bacillus anthracis is considered as a biological warfare agent because it is the causative agent of the serious infectious anthrax disease. Delay in treatment leads to lethal factor-mediated toxaemia which is very critical due to lack of therapeutic options. Consequently, attempts have been made to discover potent lethal factor (LF) protease inhibitors such as small-molecule synthetic 2-thio-1,3-thiazolidine-4-one (rhodanine) compounds. But computed descriptor-based quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) and drug design studies on such aspect are poorly represented. Therefore, an attempt was made for developing QSAR models using structural descriptors for 1,3-thiazolidine-4-one compounds. The models were developed on a series of 49 LF protease inhibitors using the combination of constitutional, functional group, atom-centred fragment and molecular property descriptors. The best QSAR model included four variables, namely, C-040, nR05, GVWAI-80 and ALOGP that correlated well with the anti-LF protease activity with a good correlation coefficient (r = 0.870) of good statistical significance (F4, 29 = 14.09 (α = 0.001) F4, 29 = 6.19). This model was also validated and explained 58.1% of variances of the Bacillus anthracis inhibitory activities of the studied compounds with r2pred = 0.710 which denotes external predictability. Finally, molecular docking was carried out to predict the mode of binding of some highly active congeneric compounds. It was shown that VAL 1403 is an important residue for phenyl ring. TYR 1456 and HIS 1418 are responsible for interaction with the rhodanine nucleus. Therefore, these residues are considered responsible for the inhibition of LF protease anthrax and can predict significant dimension of essential structural features of these inhibitors to evaluate, screen and help priorities of the synthesis of the candidates against anthrax bioterrorism.

description: A major aspect concerning US rice producers and milling industry has to do with price transmission and the price discovery process among domestic milled rice markets and the international rice market. The paper investigates the dynamic relationships between the US domestic and international rice prices and determines the price discovery process using the vector error correction model (ECM) and the tournament approach using a cluster analysis. Results determine that Arkansas medium grain and California short grain are milled rice price reference or leaders in the U.S. We compare the speed of adjustment coefficients from ECM and find that California short grain has a slight edge over Arkansas medium though this lead may be rather insignificant. Two markets contribute equally in the price discovery process. We test both Arkansas medium and California short against Thai 5% rice export price, a frequent reference of international rice price. Result indicates that Thai 5% slightly leads Arkansas medium but is mildly led by California short. The US market and Thai 5% contribute equally in the price discovery in the international market. Results indicate differences from prior findings that the US rice market is segregated from Asian/international market.

description: This paper is concerned with a priori error estimates for the local incremental minimization scheme, which is an implicit time discretization method for the approximation of rate-independent systems with non-convex energies. We first show by means of a counterexample that one cannot expect global convergence of the scheme without any further assumptions on the energy. For the class of uniformly convex energies, we derive error estimates of optimal order, provided that the Lipschitz constant of the load is sufficiently small. Afterwards, we extend this result to the case of an energy, which is only locally uniformly convex in a neighborhood of a given solution trajectory. For the latter case, the local incremental minimization scheme turns out to be superior compared to its global counterpart, as a numerical example demonstrates.

description: Solutions of first-order nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws typically develop shocks in finite time even with smooth initial conditions. However, in heterogeneous media with rapid spatial variation, shock formation may be delayed or avoided. When shocks do form in such media, their speed of propagation depends on the material structure. We investigate conditions for shock formation and propagation in heterogeneous media. We focus on the propagation of plane waves in two-dimensional periodic media with material variation in only one direction. We propose an estimate for the speed of the shocks that is based on the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions applied to a leading-order homogenized (constant coefficient) system. We verify this estimate via numerical simulations using different nonlinear constitutive relations and layered and smoothly varying periodic media. In addition, we discuss conditions and regimes under which shocks form in this type of media.

description: This study was conducted at S & B Farm located in Eufaula, AL in 2014. The treatments were Inorganic fertilizer/“Farmer’s Mix” (NPK 13:13:13 + ammonium nitrate mixed in 3:1 ratio); Inorganic fertilizer/“Farmer’s Mix” (NPK 13:13:13 + ammonium nitrate mixed in 3:1 ratio + Bio-grow) plus microbe mix; and Organic Fertilizer – Mighty Grow (4-3-4) with a microbe mix. All fertilizers were applied prior to mulch application after which the following crops squash (Cucurbita pepo L.), cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), and okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) were directly seeded in a complete randomized design. The results showed that the inorganic fertilizer had higher yields (lbs/acre) than organic fertilizer. The addition of microbes to the inorganic fertilizer significantly increased the numbers of cucumbers and okra per acre. Overall, the “Farmer mix” with or without the addition of microbes significantly increased yields for all crops compared to the organic-based fertilizer.

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Spin transport properties at finite electric and magnetic fields are studied by using the generalized semiclassical Boltzmann equation. It is found that the spin diffusion equation for non-equilibrium spin density and spin currents involves a number of length scales that explicitly depend on the electric and magnetic fields. The set of macroscopic equations can be used to address a broad range of the spin transport problems in magnetic multilayers as well as in semiconductor heterostructure. A specific example of spin injection into semiconductors at arbitrary electric and magnetic fields is illustrated.

description: This study aims to investigate the impact of PM2.5 on non-accidental death of residents. The single-pollutant model revealed that the influence of PM2.5 on non-accidental death was significant at lag0 and lag4–6, and was greatest at lag5. A 10 µg/m3 increase in PM2.5 was related with a 1.31% increase in non-accidental deaths. The connection between PM2.5 and non-accidental death was stronger in femalesthan males, in people aged ≥ 65 years than people aged < 65 years, and in people below high school education than people with high school education or above. Two-pollutant model revealed that the influence of PM2.5 on non-accidental death was essentially unchanged when CO, SO2, and O3 were included and reduced when NO2 was included. The multiple-pollutant model showed that the effect of ambient PM2.5 on non-accidental death was reduced. An increase in PM2.5 concentrations may cause an increase in non-accidental death.

description: The study assessed the willingness of small and medium-sized farmers to produce alternative biofuel crops in Louisiana and Mississippi. Data were collected from a random sample of 304 participants. The results revealed that the majority of the respondents were males, African Americans, over 50 years, part-time farmers, and a third earned less than $1,000 per year from farming. Most of the respondents (75%) indicated an interest in alternative fuel development, and 72% do not use alternative fuels in their operations. Also, a majority of respondents (83%) indicated that they would like to learn more about opportunities for alternative fuel development; 90% were in favor of alternative fuel development, and 87% were in favor of using alternative fuel on-farm. These results will be used to develop outreach programs to increase adoption of alternative crops in Louisiana and Mississippi; thus, increasing the potential for profitability for small and medium-sized farmers.
Fat Tails in Financial Return Distributions Revisited: Evidence from the Korean Stock Market

description: This study empirically re-examines fat tails in stock return distributions by applying statistical methods to an extensive dataset taken from the Korean stock market. The tails of the return distributions are shown to be much fatter in recent periods than in past periods and much fatter for small-capitalization stocks than for large-capitalization stocks. After controlling for the 1997 Korean foreign currency crisis and using the GARCH filter models to control for volatility clustering in the returns, the fat tails in the distribution of residuals are found to persist. We show that market crashes and volatility clustering may not sufficiently account for the existence of fat tails in return distributions. These findings are robust regardless of period or type of stock group.

description: The study examined the characteristics and practices of small livestock producers, focusing on economics and marketing. Data were obtained from a convenience sample of 121 small producers from several South Central Alabama counties, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including chi-square tests. The socioeconomic characteristics reflected a higher proportion of part-time farmers; a higher proportion with at most a two-year/technical degree or some college education; and a higher proportion with $40,000 or less annual household income. A majority had been farming more than thirty years, and most had small herds. Also, very few made profits; many sold animals live on-farm or at auction/stockyard, and kept records. The chisquare tests showed that farming status, gender, race/ethnicity, age, education, and household income had statistically significant relationships with selected farm, economic, and marketing characteristics. Educational programs should be implemented in the study area emphasizing economics and marketing, and taking into consideration socioeconomic factors.

description: Interest in local food is growing among consumers and small-scale farmers, as evidenced by the significant increase in the number of farmers’ markets, community-supported agriculture arrangements, and food hubs, in the last ten years. To meet the demand for locally grown fruits and vegetables, many small-scale farmers are considering scaling up their production. However, to remain profitable they need to balance production with increased labor costs and the need for specialized machinery. A study conducted in Iowa worked with five groups of farmers who shared different pieces of machinery. With help from the researchers, they developed sharing agreements and continue to share equipment and other inputs. This article provides an overview of the benefits and challenges of machinery sharing as well as provides practical considerations for growers who may want to form a machinery-sharing arrangement.

description: South Africa’s agricultural sector has undergone substantial policy reform since the dawn of democracy in 1994. Now, twenty years later, it is an opportune time to look back at this period to review key successes and failures. This article revisits South Africa’s context and policy at the start of this period, the reforms that followed, and evaluates the transformational effect (or lack thereof) on the sector. For this purpose, the article pulls from both qualitative sources and descriptive statistics to provide both a historical context and current perspective. The analysis shows that redistributive land reform and smallholder support programs have achieved limited success in transforming the sector towards greater inclusivity. Trade and marketing policy reform, however, has succeeded in transforming the sector towards greater productivity and international competitiveness. This has increased the market and climate resilience of the sector, but the limited inclusivity of historically disadvantaged persons poses significant challenges.

description: The 4503 rovibronic term values belonging to the mutually perturbed $A^1Σ^+_u$ and $b^3Π_u$ states of Cs$_2$ were extracted from laser induced fluorescence (LIF) $A\sim b\rightarrow X^1Σ^+_g$ Fourier transform spectra with the 0.01 cm$^{-1}$ uncertainty. The experimental term values of the $A^1Σ^+_u\sim b^3Π_u$ complex covering the rotational levels $J\in [4,395]$ in the excitation energy range $[9655,13630]$ cm$^{-1}$ were involved into coupled-channel (CC) deperturbation analysis. The deperturbation model takes explicitly into account spin-orbit coupling of the $A^1Σ^+_u(A0^+_u)$ and $b^3Π^+_{0_u}(b0^+_u)$ states as well as spin-rotational interaction between the $Ω=0$, $1$ and $2$ components of the $b^3Π^+_{Ω_u}$ state. The \emph{ab initio} relativistic calculations on the low-lying electronic states of Cs$_2$ were accomplished in the framework of Fock space relativistic coupled cluster (FSRCC) approach to provide the interatomic potentials of the interacting $A0^+_u$ and $b0^+_u$ states as well as the relevant $A\sim b$ spin-orbit coupling function. To validate the present CC deperturbation analysis solely obtained by energy-based data, the $A\sim b \to X(v^{\prime\prime}_X)$ LIF intensity distributions were measured and compared with their theoretical counterparts obtained by means of the non-adiabatic vibrational wave functions of the $A\sim b$ complex and the FSRCC $A\sim b \to X$ transition dipole moments calculated by the finite-field method.

description: From 2016, South Africa will implement a carbon tax. The study analyzed the design of the tax and utilized a Computable General Equilibrium model to estimate the impact that the tax will have on the Agricultural Sector. The results suggest that the direct impact on the sector will be minimal; however, there are significant indirect impacts. These indirect impacts occur through the rising prices of intermediate inputs which experience more significant direct impacts of the tax. The study then dissected the indirect impacts to highlight what the key effects on the sector are likely to be. It was found that certain products will be severely hit, especially starches, dairy, sugar, fish, fruits and vegetables, meat, and forestry. While there is a key cause for concern, if the right courses of action are taken, then there is evidence to suggest that the negative impact of the shock can be significantly offset.

description: We present optical spectropolarimetry of the nuclei of 36 Seyfert 1 galaxies, obtained with the William Herschel and the Anglo-Australian Telescopes from 1996 to 1999. In 20 of these, the optical emission from the active nucleus is intrinsically polarized. We have measured a significant level of polarization in a further 7 objects but these may be heavily contaminated by Galactic interstellar polarization. The intrinsically polarized Seyfert 1s exhibit a variety of characteristics, with the average polarization ranging from < 0.5 to 5 per cent and many showing variations in both the degree and position angle of polarization across the broad H alpha emission line. We identify a small group of Seyfert 1s that exhibit polarization properties similar to those of Seyfert 2 galaxies in which polarized broad-lines have been discovered. These objects represent direct observational evidence that a Seyfert 2-like far-field polar scattering region is also present in Seyfert 1s. Several other objects have features that can be explained in terms of equatorial scattering of line emission from a rotating disk. We propose that much of the diversity in the polarization properties of Seyfert galaxies can be understood in terms of a model involving both equatorial and polar scattering, the relative importance of the two geometries as sources of polarized light being determined principally by the inclination of the system axis to the line-of-sight.

Type-I thermal leptogenesis in $Z_3$-symmetric three Higgs doublet model

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Our present work explores the possibility of neutrino mass generation through {\em Type-I see-saw} mechanism and provides an explanation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via thermal leptogenesis in the framework of $Z_3$-symmetric three Higgs doublet model (3HDM) augmented with three right-handed neutrinos. Here the thermal leptogenesis is initiated by the out-of-equilibrium decay of the lightest heavy neutrino $N_1$. The constraints arising out of the scalar sector put strong bound on the model parameter $\tan β$, which in turn takes part in the computation of the lepton asymmetry $ε$. Lepton asymmetry being converted partially into the baryon asymmetry by electroweak sphelaron processes, will account for the required baryon asymmetry satisfying the current data. We therefore analyse the parameter space consistent with the constraints arising from neutrino oscillation, lepton asymmetry and baryon asymmetry together, last one being the most stringent one.

description: This study evaluated commercial olive cultivars for resistance to olive leaf spot (OLS). A growth chamber trial was undertaken with one temperature treatment (16°C) applied during inoculation while a relative humidity (RH) of above 80% was maintained. Plants were kept for 48 hours at 99% RH after inoculation and then moved to shade netted area for disease development at a temperature of 25±5°C. The results were used for categorizing the eight olive cultivars evaluated in this study according to their OLS susceptibility. „Frantoio‟ was categorized as most tolerant; „Nandi‟ and „Leccino‟ were found to be moderately tolerant, and „Nocellara del Belice‟ fairly tolerant. „Coratina‟ was found to be the most susceptible cultivar; Barouni was found to be moderately susceptible, and „Mission‟ and „Manzanilla de Seville‟ were found to be fairly susceptible. The findings provide a basis for preliminary recommendations of OLS tolerant cultivars and selections for commercial olive production.
