description: We study Witten open string field theory in the pp-wave background in the tensionless limit, and construct the N-string vertex in the basis which diagonalizes the string perturbative spectrum. We found that the Witten *-product can be viewed as infinite copies of the Moyal product with the same noncommutativity parameter $θ=2$. Moreover, we show that this Moyal structure is universal in the sense that, written in the string bit basis, Witten's *-product for any background can always be given in terms of the above-mentioned Moyal structure. We identify some projective operators in this algebra that we argue to correspond to D-branes of the theory.

description: This study uses a Central Bureau Statistics (CBS) demand system to estimate food import demand parameters for the Caribbean region. The analysis is based on food import data for 1961–2009 from the FAO-STAT database. The study determined that for the defined period the Caribbean food import demand was price inelastic, and that tourism arrivals and real income growth were not statistically significant in determining food import demand. However, per capita agricultural production was found to be statistically significant in determining Caribbean food import demand over the study period.

Consumers who prefer grain-fed, flavorful beef are willing to pay more for Tennessee beef steaks, while price conscious consumers and those who shop at big box stores are willing to pay less. Consumers who value freshness, safety, and natural products are willing to pay more for Tennessee ground beef. Preferences for grass-fed beef, lower prices, and ease of preparation influence the types of outlets where consumers anticipate purchasing Tennessee beef products.

description: An online survey of 620 respondents was utilized to elicit consumer preferences for six holiday turkey attributes (price, weight, antibiotic free, local, pasture access, and brand) related to aspects of food purchasing, including healthfulness, food safety, and treatment of animals. To explore possible relationships in consumer perceptions of holiday turkey attributes and lifestyle factors, respondents were asked about their health consciousness. Those who indicated they would consume turkey for one or more holiday meal were generally rated more health conscious. Price was the most important attribute and the preference share for price was negatively correlated with health consciousness.

description: The objective of this study is to examine purchasing practices of restaurants and food service institutions in relation to locally produced fresh vegetables. The sample for the study included managers of seventy-five restaurants and dining centers out of a total of nearly 600 food service outlets in a mid-size metropolitan city in Midwest region of the United States with a population of about 400,000. The study findings showed differences between national/regional chains and the local independently owned restaurants. Although managers across the board expressed willingness to buy local, actual purchasing decisions were largely driven by freshness, quality and availability. Price was not as critical a factor as others including variety and selection. The results suggested that local vegetable producers should use regularity, quality, and freshness to differentiate themselves. As a producer of small volume of fresh vegetables, local farmers have much higher probability of success if they supply to locally and independently owned restaurants. These restaurants use small volume of vegetables in broader variety.

description: Consumers may prefer local food but do not always purchase it. A mixed methods research design was used to determine if there were differences between consumers’ preferences for Florida strawberries and their awareness of the state’s strawberry season. Using focus groups, researchers found that consumers preferred to purchase Florida strawberries but did not seek them out. In addition, consumers had limited knowledge of Florida’s strawberry season. Five hundred Floridians were surveyed to understand their knowledge of and preferences for Florida berries. Findings indicate that food distributors should use advertisements that reinforce the positive attributes of Florida produce, along with information on the growing season, in order to increase awareness and promote sales of Florida strawberries.

description: The primary X-ray diagnostic lines in He-like ions are mainly excited by electron impact from the ground level to the n = 2 levels, but at high temperatures n > 2 levels are also excited. In order to describe the atomic processes more completely collision strengths are computed for OVII including for the first time all of the following: (i) relativistic fine structure, (ii) levels up to the n = 4, and (iii) radiation damping of autoionizing resonances. The calculations are carried out using the Breit-Pauli R-matrix (BPRM) method with a 31-level eigenfunction expansion. Resonance structures in collision strengths are delineated in detail up to the n = 4 thresholds. For highly charged He-like ions radiation damping of autoionizing resonances is known to be significant. We investigate this effect in detail and find that while resonances are discernibly damped radiatively as the series limit n --> infty is approached from below, the overall effect on effective cross sections and rate coefficients is found to be very small. Collision strengths for the principal lines important in X-ray plasma diagnostics, w,x,y and z, corresponding to the 4 transitions to the ground level 1s^2 (^1S_0)

description: This paper explores ways of improving education quality in Universal Primary Education (UPE) schools in Uganda. Following the introduction of UPE in Uganda in 1997, primary school enrolment increased tremendously, leading to a strain on existing teaching resources such as classrooms, teachers’ accommodation, toilets, teachers, chalk, and students’ furniture among others. The inadequacy of teaching resources partly attributes to the low quality of education in UPE schools as reflected in the Primary three and six pupils’ performance in literacy and numeracy. Accordingly, Government responded by increasing supply of teaching resources with the hope of improving the quality of education in UPE schools. The major findings of the paper include: i) Supplying more teaching resources in the current Uganda context should not be the number one priority intervention if the quality of education in public primary school is to be improved. Paradoxically, supply of teaching resources is found to have adverse effects on education quality. This suggests that the supply of teaching resources in these schools seem to be done at the expense of effective teaching. ii) Primary school teachers employ teacher-centred methods of teaching, which are less effective. The study finds that child-centred methods of teaching are more effective for both males and females as regards improvement of education quality. Yet, teachers in UPE schools hardly employ child-centred approaches to teaching, which mainly explains the poor quality of education in UPE schools. iii) There is urgent need for the ministry in charge of education to focus more on teacher supervision to compel teachers to attend to their duties and use child-centred methods of teaching. This calls for increased budget for school inspection and teacher supervision.

description: The stellar inclination angle-the angle between the rotation axis of a star and our line of sight-provides valuable information in many different areas, from the characterisation of the geometry of exoplanetary and eclipsing binary systems, to the formation and evolution of those systems. We propose a method based on asteroseismology and a Bayesian hierarchical scheme for extracting the inclination angle of a single star. This hierarchical method therefore provides a means to both accurately and robustly extract inclination angles from red giant stars. We successfully apply this technique to an artificial dataset with an underlying isotropic inclination angle distribution to verify the method. We also apply this technique to 123 red giant stars observed with $\textit{Kepler}$. We also show the need for a selection function to account for possible population-level biases, that are not present in individual star-by-star cases, in order to extend the hierarchical method towards inferring underlying population inclination angle distributions.

description: We discuss a necessary nonvalence contribution in timelike exclusive processes. Following a Schwinger-Dyson type of approach, we relate the nonvalence contribution to an ordinary light-front wave function that has been extensively tested in the spacelike exclusive processes. A complicate multi-body energy denominator is exactly cancelled in summing the light-front time-ordered amplitudes. Applying our method to $K_{\ell3}$ and $D^0\to K^- \ell^+ ν_l$ where a rather substantial nonvalence contribution is expected, we find not only an improvement in comparing with the experimental data but also a covariance(i.e. frame-indepndence) of existing light-front constituent quark model.

description: Conflict over water use in the southeastern US is increasingly common as communities and industries fund themselves without adequate water supplies. However, agricultural water use in the southeastern states has received relatively little attention despite rapid growth in the use of irrigation by the region’s farmers. This study determines the breakeven prices for dryland and irrigated crops produced in the Tennessee River Basin and Hiwassee-Mississippi watersheds. The analysis focuses on five major crops produced in the region: corn, soybean, cotton, wheat and sorghum. Tillage practices considered are conventional, reduced, and no-till. Irrigation technologies include furrows, center pivot, and big-gun/traveler systems. Water sources include surface and wells. Center pivot systems are currently the dominant irrigation practice in the region. We hypothesize that gravity-based systems are more profitable under certain conditions. Well installation costs largely determine the profitability of irrigation practices in the study area. Key differences will be driven by the relative price of commodities, the production portfolio of producers, and energy, labor, and installation costs. Repair expenses for irrigation systems are insensitive to different well depths, but sensitive to the type of irrigation system implemented. These findings will be useful for producers augmenting their operations with irrigation systems.

description: The muonic and electromagnetic components of air showers are sensitive to the mass of the primary cosmic particle. The sizes of the components can be measured with particle detectors on ground, and the electromagnetic component in addition indirectly via its radio emission in the atmosphere. The electromagnetic particles do not reach the ground for very inclined showers. On the contrary, the atmosphere is transparent for the radio emission and its footprint on ground increases with the zenith angle. Therefore, the radio technique offers a reliable detection over the full range of zenith angles, and in particular for inclined showers. In this work, the mass sensitivity of a combination of the radio emission with the muons is investigated in a case study for the site of the Pierre Auger Observatory using CORSIKA Monte Carlo simulations of showers in the EeV energy range. It is shown, that the radio-muon combination features superior mass separation power in particular for inclined showers, when compared to established mass observables such as a combination of muons and electrons or the shower maximum Xmax. Accurate measurements of the energy-dependent mass composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays are essential to understand their still unknown origin. Thus, the combination of muon and radio detectors can enhance the scientific performance of future air-shower arrays and offers a promising upgrade option for existing arrays.

description: Abstract Rural America can be characterized as having lower economic growth, larger poverty levels, and a higher concentration of the socially disadvantaged. One primary way of revitalizing and sustaining rural America is through the development of entrepreneurship opportunities. Thus, this study focuses on increasing the number and sustainability of entrepreneurs targeting the rural areas of North Carolina. This study employed a combination of analytical approaches to examine past and ongoing factors that contribute to rural entrepreneurs’ success in the Piedmont Triad Prosperity Zone. Data derived from a survey of current entrepreneurs in the Piedmont Triad Prosperity Zone was analyzed using various qualitative and quantitative statistical methods. Analysis of variance was used to determine if there is statistical significant difference in growth of the different size of firms in different economic sectors. Trade area analysis was employed to determine the magnitude of consumer migration to various counties. The data indicated a larger migration of consumers from rural counties to the urban counties, taking advantage of agglomeration. Factor analysis and linear regression revealed that the sustainability (survival) of entrepreneurship was dependent on demographic and socio-economic factors such as business structure, location, gender, obstacles and, marital status.

description: El Salvador is one of the smallest and most populated countries in Latin American with approximately 6.3 million people and a population density of 301 habitants/km2. The country is considered to be food and nutrition insecure because of its vulnerability to natural disasters, high dependence on remittances and food imports, low economic growth and a poverty rate of 34.5%. Despite the food insecurity status of El Salvador, to the best of our knowledge no one has estimate a food demand system that can be used to evaluate how price and income shocks affect food security in the country. We use household food expenditure data from the 2013 Multiple Purposes Household Surveys (EHPM) and additional information on prices to estimate an Exact Affine Stone Index (EASI) food demand system and evaluate the impact of price and income shocks as well as potential food policies on food demand and food insecurity. Our preliminary results show inelastic price demand for all food groups except meats (which includes beef, pork, poultry and eggs) and non-alcoholic beverages. The most inelastic demand was observed in the food group of cereals that includes, corn, rice, and beans which are staples in the Salvadorian diet.

description: We are reporting on terahertz generation from organic crystal BNA using a 1.15 to 1.55 um near infrared pump. We observed a very large emission spectrum extending up to 7 THz, compared to 2.5 THz from Ti:Sa pump in previous reports. The maximum optical-to-THz conversion efficiency in our experiment was 0.8% at 1 kHz repetition rate and without saturation leading to a peak electric field of 1 GV/m. Our results show pronounced phase matching privilege for intense terahertz generation using a pump in the 1.15 to 1.25 um range where high energy near infrared pump sources operate.

description: Immune overactivation is a hallmark of chronic HIV infection, which is critical to HIV pathogenesis and disease progression. The imbalance of helper T cell (Th) differentiation and subsequent cytokine dysregulation are generally considered to be the major drivers of excessive activation and inflammatory disorders in HIV infection. However, the accurate factors driving HIV-associated Th changes remained to be established. CD70, which was a costimulatory molecule, was found to increase on CD4+ T cells during HIV infection. Overexpression of CD70 on CD4+ T cells was recently reported to associate with highly pathogenic proinflammatory Th1/Th17 polarization in multiple sclerosis. Thus, the role of CD70 in the imbalance of Th polarization and immune overactivation during HIV infection needs to be investigated. Here, we found that the elevated frequency of CD70 + CD4+ T cells was negatively correlated with CD4 count and positively associated with immune activation in treatment-naïve people living with HIV (PLWH). More importantly, CD70 expression defined a population of proinflammatory Th1/17/22/GM subsets in PLWH. Blocking CD70 decreased the mRNA expression of subset-specific markers during Th1/17/22/GM polarization. Furthermore, we demonstrated that CD70 influenced the differentiation of these Th cells through STAT pathway. Finally, it was revealed that patients with a high baseline level of CD70 on CD4+ T cells exhibited a greater risk of poor immune reconstitution after antiretroviral therapy (ART) than those with low CD70. In general, our data highlighted the role of CD70 in Th1/17/22/GM differentiation during HIV infection and provided evidence for CD70 as a potential biomarker for predicting immune recovery.

description: Location masking, or geomasking, is a practice typically undertaken by data stewards who wish to release a georeferenced data set without infringing on the privacy of those whose data are involved. With numerous opportunities to transmit our personal locations through electronic devices, individuals have the agency through masking to stem the flow of their location data or otherwise engage in obscuring their locations. Relatively little is known about the factors that influence individuals to protect their location privacy and the extent to which they do so. Joining a growing recognition of individual-level privacy efforts, this study examines the predictors of personal-level location masking and the relationships among geoprivacy-related knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Using a probability-based sample and an open online sample from California, this study finds that in situ personal masking behavior is consistent across demographic groups. A key attitude influencing whether or not participants choose to mask location is trust in Web sites to protect their personal data. Greater knowledge about how location data are transmitted and higher concern for privacy are positively correlated with masking behavior. Key Words: geomasking, geoprivacy, obfuscation, privacy, survey.

description: Dairy policy under the 2014 farm bill is an insurance program based on national milk and feed prices, despite considerable regional variation in feed costs and milk prices. Milk production response to low margin periods between 2000 and 2012 is compared by region. Consistent with prior research, the response is much greater in the West. There is no evidence that eastern and mid-western dairies reduce production in response to low margins. Implications for potential total and regional government expenditures for the Dairy Margin Protection Program are evaluated in the context of historical supply response and 2015 participation rates.

description: Encroachment by eastern redcedar, an invasive species, threatens the ecosystem health and agriculture returns in the southern Great Plains. The invasion of eastern redcedar has a detrimental effect on livestock and wheat production in Oklahoma by competing with native grasses, reducing available forage, competing for scarce water resources and negatively affecting human health. The estimated costs of management are in between $3 to $150 per acre depending on the type of habitat, the level of encroachment, and treatment technique (Bidwell and Weir 2007). Recently, the rising costs associated with removal of mature trees has rekindled interest in biofuel use of redcedar or the creation of marketable cedar products. In order to estimate whether such enterprises may be viable, an estimate of the potential supply of redcedar is needed. Therefore it is essential to identify the factors that can influence landowners’ willingness to pay for eastern redcedar removal.

description: Bred cows are an input into beef production. Often producers are directly marketing bred cows as beef replacement animals. Alternatively, some producers are capitalizing on alternative marketing opportunities and are selling cull cows as bred. However, in auctions across the state of Oklahoma, quality and value variation in the bred cows is apparent. Product differentiation and price variability is frequently modeled using the hedonic approach. Hedonic models have previously been applied to various classes of cattle including cull cows and cow-calf pairs. However, no previous research has determined the value of bred cow characteristics. The objective of this paper is to determine the market value of various bred cow traits, including age, weight, months bred, cow quality, and hide color. The model accounts for seasonal and cyclical influences on bred cow value. Fifteen years of USDA AMS data for seven Oklahoma auctions is used to estimate the bred cow hedonic model. We expect significant premiums for young, productive, black-hided, late gestation cows. Results will help producers improve replacement cow procurement and cow marketing strategies. Producers will be able to identify traits buyers find desirable allowing them to market a more valuable product.

description: The energy transfer among the components in a gas determines its fate. Especially at low temperatures, inelastic collisions drive the cooling and the heating mechanisms. In the early Universe as well as in zero- or low- metallicity environments the major contribution comes from the collisions among atomic and molecular hydrogen, also in its deuterated version. The present work shows some updated calculations of the H$_2$ cooling function based on novel collisional data which explicitely take into account the reactive pathway at low temperatures. Deviations from previous calculations are discussed and a multivariate data analysis is performed to provide a fit depending on both the gas temperature and the density of the gas.

description: We extend the Randall-Sundrum(RS) model by adding a fundamental scalar field in the bulk, then study the multi-field assisted inflationary solution on brane. We will show that this model satisfies not only the observation, but also provides a solution to hierarchy problem. Furthermore in comparison with the chaotic inflation model with a single field in four space-time dimension, the parameters in our model required for a successful inflation are natural.

Finite Factorization equations and Sum Rules for BPS correlators in N=4 SYM theory

description: A class of exact non-renormalized extremal correlators of half-BPS operators in N=4 SYM, with U(N) gauge group, is shown to satisfy finite factorization equations reminiscent of topological gauge theories. The finite factorization equations can be generalized, beyond the extremal case, to a class of correlators involving observables with a simple pattern of SO(6) charges. The simple group theoretic form of the correlators allows equalities between ratios of correlators in N=4 SYM and Wilson loops in Chern-Simons theories at k=\infty, correlators of appropriate observables in topological G/G models and Wilson loops in two-dimensional Yang-Mills theories. The correlators also obey sum rules which can be generalized to off-extremal correlators. The simplest sum rules can be viewed as large k limits of the Verlinde formula using the Chern-Simons correspondence. For special classes of correlators, the saturation of the factorization equations by a small subset of the operators in the large N theory is related to the emergence of semiclassical objects like KK modes and giant gravitons in the dual ADS \times S background. We comment on an intriguing symmetry between KK modes and giant gravitons.

description: The purpose of this study is to analyze the off-road performance of multi-axle vehicles, and to mainly investigate the effects of each vehicle parameter on the vehicle dynamics. In this study, a generalized numerical model of multi-axle vehicles is developed using MATLAB to simulate the vehicle dynamics of vehicles with different number of axles and to observe the time and frequency response. First, the quarter-car model is used to analyze the basic properties of the vehicle suspension system. Then, the effect of different axle numbers on off-road performance is analyzed. It is found that when the number of axles increases, the wheelbase filtering effect is more significant and the off-road performance is improved. Moreover, the effects of different vehicle parameters on the off-road performance of multi-axle vehicles are analyzed and a generalized conclusion on the effects of suspension spring stiffness and damping coefficient configurations and center of gravity position on vehicle dynamics is also proposed. Finally, a method to optimize the off-road performance is proposed to provide a basis for the design of the chassis of the multi-axle vehicle and to verify the conclusions presented. According to the analysis of this study, the generalized properties of multi-axle vehicle is understood and their off-road performance can be improved.
