description: At the EU Council in December 2004, European heads of governments will decide on a potential date for the start of EU accession negotiations with Turkey. Various recent analyses assess the cost of applying the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU (CAP) to Turkey without taking into account the specific structure of the agricultural sector in Turkey, which would determine the receipts from EU funds. This paper assesses potential budgetary effects resulting from the application of the CAP to Turkey, if Turkey should accede in 2014. The analysis is based on macroeconomic projections from the literature, equilibrium modelling of the Turkish agricultural sector, and projections of the future development of the CAP. It is found that total EU budgetary outlays for the application of the CAP to Turkey could total about €3.3 billion in 2014 and rise to €5 billion in 2024 due to full phasing in of direct payments and rural development policies. The resulting net transfer under the CAP to Turkey would be about €1.6 billion in 2014 and could increase to €2.6 billion in 2024. Such sums take a backseat to projected transfers under the structural policy of the EU and the overall political project of including Turkey in the EU. Key Words: Turkey, EU accession, CAP, budgetary effects Im Dezember 2004 wird der Europäische Rat über die Festlegung eines Zeitpunkts zur Aufnahme von Beitrittsverhandlungen mit der Türkei entscheiden. Die Diskussion über die aus der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik der EU (GAP) resultierenden Budgetwirkungen eines EUBeitritts basiert bisher meist auf Schatzungen, die die spezifische Struktur des turkischen Agrarsektors sowie zukunftige Anderungen der GAP bis zu einem Beitritt der Turkei kaum einbeziehen. In diesem Beitrag werden die aus der GAP resultierenden Budgetwirkungen eines potentiellen EU-Beitritts der Türkei im Jahr 2014 auf Grundlage der Literatur entnommener makrookonomischer Projektionen, Abschatzungen zukunftiger Anderungen der GAP sowie einem Gleichgewichtsmodell des turkischen Agrarsektors analysiert. Im Ergebnis ergeben sich EU-Zahlungen an die Türkei im Rahmen der GAP von insgesamt 3,3 Mrd. Euro im Jahr 2014, die nach einer schrittweisen Einfuhrung des vollen Umfangs der GAP im Jahre 2024 etwa 5 Mrd. Euro betragen. Der sich aus der GAP potentiell ergebende Netto-Transfer aus dem EU-Budget an die Türkei betragt 1,6 Mrd. Euro im Jahr 2014 und steigt bis 2024 auf etwa 2,6 Mrd. Euro an. Im Verhaltnis zu den sich voraussichtlich aus der europaischen Strukturpolitik ergebenden Transfers und dem politischen Gesamtvorhaben einer Integration der Turkei sind diese Summen eher unbedeutend.

description: In Germany, libraries or public training centers offer education programs for different target groups to foster digital participation. Yet, those programs often do not meet the requirements of people with intellectual disabilities, their formal caregivers or social institutions. A high degree of personal and organizational effort, lack of caregivers’ knowledge and expenditure of time materialize as barriers for caregivers in social institutions to support their clients to achieve digital literacy. However, the desires of people with intellectual disabilities to improve their digital skills have risen steadily in the last years. This article addresses the question of how education programs should be designed to meet the needs of people with intellectual disabilities, their formal caregivers, and social institutions. Therefore, requirements were derived from a secondary analysis of 24 semi-structured interviews with formal caregivers in social organizations, focus groups containing 50 people with intellectual disabilities, and an additional interview study with five experts form research and practice. As a result, a guideline with ten main points for designing education programs for people with disabilities, caregivers and social institutions is presented in this article.

description: In this paper we price a precipitation option based on empirical weather data from Germany using different pricing methods, among them the burn analysis, index value simulation and daily simulation. For that purpose we develop a daily precipitation model. Moreover, a decorrelation analysis is proposed to analyse the spatial basis risk that is inherent to rainfall derivatives. The models are applied to precipitation data in Brandenburg, Germany. Based on simplifying assumptions of the production function we quantify and compare the risk exposure of grain producers with and without rainfall insurance. It turns out that a considerable risk remains with producers who are located remotely from the weather station. Another finding is that significant differences may occur between the pricing methods. We identify the strengths and weaknesses of the pricing methods and give some recommendations for their application. Our results are relevant for producers as well as for potential sellers of weather derivatives. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Niederschlagsoption unter Anwendung der Burn-Analysis, der Index-Value-Simulation und der Daily-Simulation bewertet. Dazu wird auf der Grundlage empirischer Wetterdaten aus Deutschland (Niederschlagsmengen aus Brandenburg) ein Tagesniederschlagsmodell entwickelt. Weiterhin wird eine Dekorrelationsanalyse durchgefuhrt, um das raumliche Basisrisiko von Niederschlagsderivaten zu analysieren. Basierend auf vereinfachenden Annahmen bzgl. der Produktionsfunktion wird das Risikoprofil von Getreideproduzenten in Brandenburg mit und ohne Absicherung gegen zu geringe Niederschlagsmengen in den Monaten April und Mai quantifiziert. Es wird deutlich, dass mit zunehmender Entfernung ein erhebliches Restrisiko bei den Produzenten verbleibt. Die Berechnungen zeigen zudem Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen Bewertungsverfahren auf. Es werden Starken und Schwachen der Bewertungsverfahren identifiziert und Empfehlungen für die Anwendung der verschiedenen Methoden abgeleitet. Die hier behandelte Fragestellung ist sowohl fur Landwirte als auch für potenzielle Anbieter von Wetterderivaten relevant.

The infrared jet in Centaurus A: multiwavelength constraints on emission mechanisms and particle acceleration

description: We report on Spitzer and Gemini observations of the jet of Centaurus A in the infrared, which we combine with radio, ultraviolet and X-ray data. Spitzer detects jet emission from about 2 arcmin from the nucleus, becoming particularly bright after the jet flare point at ~3.4 arcmin. Where X-ray and infrared emission are seen together the broad-band data strongly support a synchrotron origin for the X-rays. The jet flare point is marked by a broad, diffuse region of X-rays which may be associated with a shock: we discuss possible physical mechanisms for this. The infrared jet persists after the flare point region although X-ray emission is absent; it is plausible that here we are seeing the effects of particle acceleration followed by downstream advection with synchrotron losses. Gemini data probe the inner regions of the jet, putting limits on the mid-infrared flux of jet knots.

description: This paper gives an overview of simulation based procedures, which have proved to be efficient in valuing American options and therefore real options. Many of them integrate sequential stochastic simulations in the backward recursive programming approach to determine the early-exercise frontier. They subsequently value the option by initiating a Monte-Carlo simulation from the valuation date of the option. It turns out that one approach (Grant et al., 1997) is especially simple. We are able to enhance its efficiency by stripping it of some time consuming but unnecessary simulation steps. Our simplified approach could be called "Bounded Recursive Stochastic Simulation".

description: Astrophysical observations indicate that there is roughly five times more dark matter in the Universe than ordinary baryonic matter, with an even larger amount of the Universe's energy content due to dark energy. So far, the microscopic properties of these dark components have remained shrouded in mystery. In addition, even the five percent of ordinary matter in our Universe has yet to be understood, since the Standard Model of particle physics lacks any consistent explanation for the predominance of matter over antimatter. Inspired by these central problems of modern physics, we present here a direct search for interactions of antimatter with dark matter, and place direct constraints on the interaction of ultra-light axion-like particles $-$ one of the dark-matter candidates $-$ and antiprotons. If antiprotons exhibit a stronger coupling to these dark-matter particles than protons, such a CPT-odd coupling could provide a link between dark matter and the baryon asymmetry in the Universe. We analyse spin-flip resonance data acquired with a single antiproton in a Penning trap [Smorra et al., Nature 550, 371 (2017)] in the frequency domain to search for spin-precession effects from ultra-light axions with a characteristic frequency governed by the mass of the underlying particle. Our analysis constrains the axion-antiproton interaction parameter $f_a/C_{\overline{p}}$ to values greater than $0.1$ to $0.6$ GeV in the mass range from $2 \times 10^{-23}$ to $4 \times 10^{-17}\,$eV/$c^2$, improving over astrophysical antiproton bounds by up to five orders of magnitude. In addition, we derive limits on six combinations of previously unconstrained Lorentz-violating and CPT-violating terms of the non-minimal Standard Model Extension.

description: Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is a rare facial/cranial affection that arises in ulcerations, itch and paresthesia. Etiology is debated, however trigeminal nerve damage seems to be frequent in pathogenetic patterns. The disease may affect any region innervated by the trigeminal nerve, especially the maxillary branch. A case of TTS, trigged by allergic reaction to osteosynthetic materials and involving infraorbital nerve, was presented. The feature that makes this case one-off in the literature is the association with osteolytic lesion surrounding infraorbital nerve. Diagnosis and treatment were difficult and multidisciplinary approach was required. Treatments administered were satisfying and signs and symptoms remitted, however patient quitted follow-up. TTS is a rare disease, diagnosis is difficult to be performed and it is often a diagnosis of exclusion. Treatment is challenging and it requires a multidisciplinary approach and a great compliance of patients.

Experiments on Corn Pressure in Silo Cells -- Translation and Comment of Janssen's Paper from 1895

description: The German engineer H.A. Janssen gave one of the first accounts of the often peculiar behavior of granular material in a paper published in German in 1895. From simple experiments with corn he inferred the saturation of pressure with height in a granular system. Subsequently, Janssen derived the equivalent of the barometric formula for granular material from the main assumption that the walls carry part of the weight. The following is a translation of this article. The wording is chosen as close as possible to the original. While drawings are copied from the original, figures displaying data are redone for better readability. The translation is complemented by some bibliographical notes and an assessment of earlier work, wherein Hagen predicted the saturation of pressure with depth in 1852, and Huber-Burnand demonstrated that saturation qualitatively as early as in 1829. We conclude with a brief discussion of more recent developments resting on Janssen's work.

description: Starting from recent experimental observations of starlings and jackdaws, we propose a minimal agent-based mathematical model for bird flocks based on a system of second-order delayed stochastic differential equations with discontinuous (both in space and time) right-hand side. The model is specifically designed to reproduce self-organized spontaneous sudden changes of direction, not caused by external stimuli like predator's attacks. The main novelty of the model is that every bird is a potential turn initiator, thus leadership is formed in a group of indistinguishable agents. We investigate some theoretical properties of the model and we show the numerical results. Biological insights are also discussed.

description: A 20-year-old woman was diagnosed with stage 4 lung adenocarcinoma with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion gene mutation. Although the patient underwent chemotherapy, her lesions progressed. Liquid biopsy for EGFR T790M mutation showed negative results. After administering osimertinib, reduction of the lesions at the primary site was observed, and the patient’s respiratory condition improved. Previous reports showing successful treatment of EGFR exon 20 insertion-positive lung adenocarcinoma with the standard osimertinib dose of 80 mg are limited. The present case demonstrated that osimertinib could be a possible treatment option for EGFR exon 20 insertion-positive lung adenocarcinoma.

description: By applying the higher order Darboux algorithm to an exactly solvable non Hermitian ${\cal{PT}}$ symmetric potential, we obtain a hierarchy of new exactly solvable non Hermitian ${\cal{PT}}$ symmetric potentials with real spectra. It is shown that the symmetry underlying the potentials so generated and the original one is {\it nonlinear pseudo supersymmetry}. We also show that this formalism can be used to generate a larger class of new solvable potentials when applied to non Hermitian systems.

description: Primary epiploic appendagitis (PEA) is an uncommon and self-limiting cause of acute or subacute abdominal complaints. The diagnosis of PEA, with its characteristic appearance, is made with computed tomography (CT). This report describes a patient seven months after a CT-confirmed diagnosis of PEA. Because of persistent and recurring, functional, non-specific abdominal complaints, food intolerance/malabsorption was investigated. Fructose malabsorption combined with histamine intolerance was found. A registered dietician helped develop an individually-tailored diet to address the problem. Within four days of beginning the fructose-free and histamine-reduced diet, the patient’s complaints resolved. In conclusion, abdominal symptoms caused by fructose malabsorption and histamine intolerance may have been triggered by PAE in this patient.

description: Η λιανική πώληση (retail) και τα logistics σχετίζονται άμεσα με τη διαθεσιμότητα του προϊόντος στον καταναλωτή. Ο βασικός ρόλος των logistics στο λιανικό εμπόριο είναι να λειτουργεί ως παράγοντας ισορροπίας ή αλλιώς να αποτελεί τη γέφυρα μεταξύ εφοδιασμού και ζήτησης. Επιπλέον, η αποτελεσματική τους λειτουργία είναι βασική προϋπόθεση για την επιτυχία μιας επιχείρησης που δραστηριοποιείται στον κλάδο. Τα in-store logistics αποτελούν αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι των συνολικών λειτουργιών της εφοδιαστικής αλυσίδας και καλούνται να ανταπεξέλθουν στις νέες απαιτήσεις της αγοράς και του ανταγωνισμού, όπως επίσης στα νέα τεχνολογικά δεδομένα τα εποχής. Τα καταστήματα λιανεμπορίου εμπεριέχουν σε μεγάλο βαθμό τέτοιες διαδικασίες και προσπαθούν να τις βελτιστοποιήσουν με σημαντικούς περιορισμούς καθώς πρέπει να ισορροπήσουν και να συμβαδίσουν με τους ρυθμούς και τους πραγματικούς χρόνους των πωλήσεων σε ένα απαιτητικό περιβάλλον. Συγκεκριμένα, τα in-store logistics είναι όλες εκείνες οι διαδικασίες με τις οποίες το προϊόν γίνεται διαθέσιμο προς πώληση στον τελικό καταναλωτή εντός και εκτός καταστήματος. Στη συγκεκριμένη διπλωματική παρουσιάζονται τα βασικά στοιχεία των διαδικασιών logistics που λαμβάνουν χώρα σε ένα κατάστημα λιανικής όπως επίσης εξετάζονται τα βασικά εργαλεία που χρησιμοποιεί μια πολυεθνική εταιρεία λιανεμπορίου για την αναπλήρωση του στοκ και τις διαδικασίες ανατροφοδότησης του καταστήματος για το 80-85% των προϊόντων. Η διπλωματική επικεντρώνει στις διαδικασίες logistics και όχι στις παράγωγες διαδικασίες (business) που ενδεχομένως να είναι απαραίτητες για τη βελτιστοποίηση. Τα στοιχεία παρουσιάζονται με τρόπο ώστε ο αναγνώστης να έχει μια καθαρή εικόνα για την υπό εξέταση διαδικασία, λειτουργία, δραστηριότητα και ταυτόχρονα με σεβασμό την πολιτική απορρήτου της εταιρείας Leroy Merlin. Εν συνεχεία, αναπτύσσεται η νέα διαδικασία ανατροφοδότησης που ξεκινά να εφαρμόζεται αλλά και τα μετρήσιμα οφέλη για το κατάστημα. Αυτή η νέα διαδικασία συνιστά μεγάλη αλλαγή για τη Leroy Merlin καθώς πέρα από την αλλαγή των βημάτων και του τρόπου εκτέλεσης άλλαξε και η ομάδα που φέρει σε πέρας τον ανεφοδιασμό των ραφιών. Επιπλέον, θα παρουσιαστεί συνοπτικά μια πρόταση για περαιτέρω βελτιστοποίηση αυτών των διαδικασιών με την εξέλιξη της υπάρχουσας τεχνολογίας που χρησιμοποιεί η εταιρεία και την αναπροσαρμογή των sub-processes. Ιδέες για περαιτέρω έρευνα και ανάπτυξη παρουσιάζονται στην τελευταία παράγραφο της διπλωματικής εργασίας.

description: The ability to manipulate quantum systems lies at the heart of the development of quantum technology. The ultimate goal of quantum control is to realize arbitrary quantum operations (AQuOs) for all possible open quantum system dynamics. However, the demanding extra physical resources impose great obstacles. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a universal approach of AQuO on a photonic qudit with minimum physical resource of a two-level ancilla and a $\log_{2}d$-scale circuit depth for a $d$-dimensional system. The AQuO is then applied in quantum trajectory simulation for quantum subspace stabilization and quantum Zeno dynamics, as well as incoherent manipulation and generalized measurements of the qudit. Therefore, the demonstrated AQuO for complete quantum control would play an indispensable role in quantum information science.

description: CSF leak in penetrating skull base injury is relatively rare compared to close head injury involving skull base fracture. We report a 5-year-old boy presented with epistaxis and impacted pencil into the left nostril. The child was hemodynamically stable without any neurological deficit. Intraoperatively, there was a nasal septal defect posteriorly with anterior skull base fracture associated with CSF leak. The pencil was removed from the left nostril and the CSF leak was repaired using harvested abdominal fat under the same setting. Computed Tomography (CT) of the brain showed right cribriform plate fracture with small pneumocranium. Postoperatively, a prophylactic antibiotic was given for seven days and he was discharged well. Subsequent clinic visits up to one-year postoperative period showed no recurrence of the CSF leak. History taking, physical examination and CT imaging give valuable diagnostic values in managing the penetrating skull base injury. Early intervention for removal of the foreign body and repair of the CSF leak is advocated to prevent catastrophic complication.

description: A Bose-Einstein condensate may be prepared in a highly elongated harmonic trap with negligible interatomic interactions using a Feshbach resonance. If a strong repulsive interatomic interaction is switched on and the axial trap is removed to let the condensate evolve freely in the axial direction, a time dependent quantum interference pattern takes place in the short time (Thomas-Fermi) regime, in which the number of peaks of the momentum distribution increases one by one, whereas the spatial density barely changes.

description: The need for external capital (FDI) inflow to finance the current account deficit of developing countries cannot be over-emphasized. Foreign direct investment takes predominance over other types of capital inflow into developing countries. How would an increase in FDI and a reduction in import tariff levels in isolation affect household welfare and other macroeconomic indicators? How would the concurrent application of the two enhance the expected impact? This paper explores the above questions by using a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model for Ghana, implemented in the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) to carry out specific counterfactual simulations. This paper concludes that the primary benefit of an increase in FDI inflow for a developing economy is the increase in current consumption. It also establishes that policies which ensure increase in FDI inflow and reduce tariff levels are complementary policies that enhance household welfare. It also emphasizes that the two policies will have different impact on macroeconomic indicators, inter alia exchange rage, export, import and trade deficit.

description: Είναι γενικά παραδεκτό, ότι το φαινόμενο της εμπορίας ανθρώπων (human trafficking) ανέκαθεν αποτελούσε και εξακολουθεί να αποτελεί ένα από τα πιο πολυσυζητημένα και πολύκροτα ζητήματα, τόσο σε εθνικό, ευρωπαϊκό αλλά και σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο, με τα θύματα της εμπορίας ανθρώπων ανά τον κόσμο, να αυξάνονται δραματικά. Το human trafficking, με οποιαδήποτε μορφή και αν αυτό συναντηθεί, αποτελεί στυγνή και απάνθρωπη μορφή εκμετάλλευσης, με την έννοια της ανθρώπινης υπόστασης και αξιοπρέπειας να καταστρατηγείται και να καταπατάται διαρκώς, στο βωμό της ασυδοσίας και της παράνομης δραστηριότητας των οργανωμένων εγκληματικών ομάδων ανά τον κόσμο. Οι τεράστιες κατά κύριο λόγο οικονομικές ανισότητες, αλλά και διάφοροι κοινωνικοί, πολιτικοί και ανθρωποκεντρικοί παράγοντες, όπως η φτώχεια, η ανεργία, οι πολεμικές συγκρούσεις και συρράξεις, η έξαρση της μετανάστευσης κ.α., έχουν οδηγήσει στη διόγκωση του φαινομένου, στη συνεχή εκμετάλλευση και «εμπορευματοποίηση» των θυμάτων και στον ταυτόχρονο παράνομο και ανήθικο πλουτισμό των εγκληματικών ομάδων. Για την αποτελεσματική και ουσιαστική πρόληψη και καταπολέμηση του φαινομένου, τόσο σε Ευρωπαϊκό, όσο και σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο, έχουν πραγματοποιηθεί προσπάθειες και έχουν ληφθεί μέτρα για την αντιμετώπιση και τον περιορισμό της εμπορίας ανθρώπων. Παρόλα αυτά, για την ουσιαστική αντιμετώπιση του φαινομένου απαιτείται συνεχής και αδιάκοπη προσπάθεια και επαγρύπνηση, βασιζόμενη στην συνεργασία και στη σύμπραξη μεταξύ των αρμόδιων φορέων, με γνώμονα, τόσο την καταπολέμηση αυτής της ειδεχθούς εγκληματικής δραστηριότητας, όσο και την προστασία και τη στήριξη των θυμάτων, που βιώνουν την εκμετάλλευση και την καταπάτηση των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων τους.

description: The $g$-factor and static quadrupole moment for the wobbling mode in the nuclide $^{133}$La are investigated as functions of the spin $I$by employing the particle rotor model. The model can reproduce the available experimental data of $g$-factor and static quadrupole moment. The properties of the $g$-factor and static quadrupole moment as functions of $I$ are interpreted by analyzing the angular momentum geometry of the collective rotor, proton-particle, and total nuclear system. It is demonstrated that the experimental value of the $g$-factor at the bandhead of the yrast band leads to the conclusion that the rotor angular momentum is $R\simeq 2$. Furthermore, the variation of the $g$-factor with the spin $I$ yields the information that the angular momenta of the proton-particle and total nuclear system are oriented parallel to each other. The negative values of the static quadrupole moment over the entire spin region are caused by an alignment of the total angular momentum mainly along the short axis. Static quadrupole moment differences between the wobbling and yrast band originate from a wobbling excitation with respect to the short axis.

description: The versatility of quantum gas experiments greatly benefits from the ability to apply variable potentials. Here we describe a method which allows the preparation of potential structures for microcavity photons via spatially selective deformation of optical resonator geometries with a heat induced mirror surface microstructuring technique. We investigate the thermalization of a two-dimensional photon gas in a dye-filled microcavity composed of the custom surface-structured mirrors at wavelength-scale separation. Specifically, we describe measurements of the spatial redistribution of thermal photons in a coupled double-ridge structure, where photons form a Bose-Einstein condensate in a spatially split ground state, as a function of different pumping geometries.

description: An extension of the Asakura-Oosawa-Vrij model of hard sphere colloids and non-adsorbing polymers, that takes polymer non-ideality into account through a repulsive stepfunction pair potential between polymers, is studied with grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theory. Simulation results validate previous theoretical findings for the shift of the bulk fluid demixing binodal upon increasing strength of polymer-polymer repulsion, promoting the tendency to mix. For increasing strength of the polymer-polymer repulsion, simulation and theory consistently predict the interfacial tension of the free colloidal liquid-gas interface to decrease significantly for fixed colloid density difference in the coexisting phases, and to increase for fixed polymer reservoir packing fraction.

description: The study is devoted to the comparative static analysis and econometric estimation of farm household decisions under both standard and agricultural taxes. To account for labor markets constraints a non-separable model is constructed implying increasing per-unit costs of accessing labor markets. To control for tax-induced adjustments related to labor market imperfections we compare the results to those derived from a separable approach, assuming perfect labor markets. Theoretical results suggest that most tax-induced responses are ambivalent mainly caused by shadow prices effects. Further, tax-induced effects differ between the two model versions. In particular standard taxes may imply production adjustments in the case of non-separability. Thus, income and value-added taxes are no more necessarily superior to agricultural taxes. Econometric analysis using individual household data from Mid-West Poland indicates remarkable responses to market surplus and input taxes. In contrast, standard and land taxes imply only negligible production adjustments. Thus, they seem to be superior, at least in the Polish case.

description: Short Abstract A sophisticated computable general equilibrium model of the California economy tracks how regulatory costs, parameterized as enhanced capital and/or intermediate requirements for regulated industries, ripple through the economy as increased demand for compliance related inputs. Effects on statewide and sector-specific output, employment, factor payments, and trade balances are reported. Longer Abstract This paper uses a sophisticated computable general equilibrium model of the California economy to assess the economic impacts of various large-scale environmental regulations. The model, E-DRAM (Environmental-Dynamic Revenue Analysis Model) was build by the authors for the California EPA/Air Resources Board by modifying DRAM (Dynamic Revenue Analysis Model), a model they helped build and refine for the California Department of Finance's use in conducting revenue analyses of pending legislation. E-DRAM has 30 industrial sectors, 2 factor sectors - capital and labor, 7 household sectors (stratified by income tax bracket), and 36 government sectors (7 federal, 21 state, and 8 local), and one sector representing the rest of the world (ROW). Industries demand inputs, factors and intermediate goods, which they combine to supply final output goods. Factors are supplied by households, which demand final goods from industries. Government sectors tax and spend. Households and industries buy products from California or ROW based relative tax-inclusive prices; households migrate in/out of state based on relative economic conditions. E-DRAM also contains an air quality module which tracks five criteria air pollutants based on the emissions intensities of each industrial sector as computed from primary data. In consultation with regulator experts, the regulatory scenarios under study are parameterized as some combination of capital and input requirements imposed on the regulated industries. In E-DRAM, capital expenditures dedicated to regulatory compliance produce environmental quality but do not contribute to traditional industrial output. Increases in operating expenditures are modeled as uniformly raised or sector specific changes (increases and or decreases) in input requirements. With regulation(s) thus parameterized, E-DRAM solves for a new equilibrium. This new equilibrium is interpreted as an alternate state of the California economy under the new regulatory regime, ceteris paribus. Absolute and percentage change in statewide and sector-specific output, employment, factor payments, emissions, and trade balances are reported for policy experiments examining the economic impacts of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) of the Federal Clean Air Act, petroleum dependency issues, and fuel efficiency standards.

description: We model a quantum walk of identical particles that can change their exchange statistics by hopping across a domain wall in a 1D lattice. Such a "statistical boundary" is transparent to single particles and affects the dynamics only by swapping multiple particles arriving together. We find that the two-particle interference is dramatically altered by reflections of these bunched waves at the interface, producing strong measurable asymmetries. Depending on the phases on the two sides, a bunched wavepacket can get completely reflected or split into a superposition of a reflected wave and an antibunched wave. This leads to striking dynamics with two domain walls, where bunched waves can get trapped in between or fragment into multiple correlated single-particle wavepackets. These findings can be realized with density-dependent hopping in present-day atomic setups and open up a new paradigm of intrinsically many-body phenomena at statistical boundaries.

Roche Lobe Sizes in Deep-MOND Gravity

description: MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is evolving from an empirical to a decent theory respecting fundamental physics after Bekenstein (2004) showed that lensing and Hubble expansion can be modeled rigourously in a Modified Relativity. The degeneracy of MOND with Dark Matter can be broken if we examine the non-linear MONDian Poisson's equation in detail. Here we study the effect of tides for a binary stellar system or a baryonic satellite-host galaxy system. We show that the Roche lobe is more squashed than the Newtonian case due to the anisotropic dilation effect in deep-MOND. We prove analytically that the Roche lobe volume scales linearly with the "true" baryonic mass ratio in both Newtonian and deep-MOND regimes, insensitive to the modification to the inertia mass. Hence accurate Roche radii of satellites can break the degeneracy of MOND and dark matter theory. Globular clusters and dwarf galaxies of comparable luminosities and distances show a factor of ten scatter in limiting radii; this is difficult to explain in any "mass-tracing-light" universe. The results here are generalizable to the intermediate MOND regime for a wide class of gravity modification function $μ(g)$ (Zhao and Tian, astro-ph/0511754).

description: We extend the methodology of a two-step profit function to obtain area and yield elasticities. We then estimate the effects of price and technology on crop output of France, Germany, and the UK. Area elasticities were obtained by adding area shadow price equations to the standard dual model of output and input equations. Change in output is dominated by technology in the UK and mixed in France and Germany. The results indicate policies affecting price will have diverse responses across countries and crops.
