description: This policy brief summarizes the results of preliminary analysis to quantify the potential farm-level and aggregate impacts of the proposed imposition of 18% value added tax (VAT) on key agricultural inputs in Uganda. Results reveal that the potential costs of the proposed imposition of VAT on agricultural inputs appear to far outweigh the potential benefits. The impact of VAT imposition on maize seed and fertilizer is estimated to contribute total tax revenues of $10.29 million compared to estimated total losses to maize farmers of $20.93 million. This implies a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 0.49. This ratio of benefits to costs is well below acceptable levels; and if other commodities, inputs, and other impact channels (e.g., the “output price effect”)were considered, the BCR could be even much lower. In conclusion, the proposed measure undermines basic agricultural and broader economic growth and development objectives; and the ratio of benefits to costs renders the proposed measure unjustifiable based on economic arguments. Therefore, the proposed measure should be reconsidered; and alternative sources of revenue sought.

description: The mass of the strange quark is determined from SU(3)-breaking effects in the tau hadronic width. Compared to previous analyses, the contributions from scalar and pseudoscalar spectral functions, which suffer from large perturbative corrections, are replaced by phenomenological parametrisations. This leads to a sizeable reduction of the uncertainties in the strange mass from tau decays. Nevertheless, the resulting m_s value is still rather sensitive to the moment of the invariant mass distribution which is used for the determination, as well as the size of the quark-mixing matrix element |V_us|. Imposing the unitarity fit for the CKM matrix, we obtain m_s(2 GeV)=117+-17 MeV, whereas for the present Particle Data Group average for |V_us|, we find m_s(2 GeV)=103+-17 MeV. On the other hand, using an average of m_s from other sources as an input, we are able to calculate the quark-mixing matrix element |V_us|, and we demonstrate that if the present measurement of the hadronic decay of the tau into strange particles is improved by a factor of two, the determination of |V_us| is more precise than the current world average.

description: Automotive companies need to develop new innovations fast in order to stay ahead of their competitors. New sensor technologies and the connection between cars and smartphones open the development of different services, like the analysis of driving behavior. These services are called mobile online services and are a growing field in the automotive sector. We want to understand the challenges that slow down the development of mobile online services in automotive companies. Therefore, we conducted a case study with an interview study in a project that develops services to manage vehicle fleets. Our results show that the company considers mobile online services rather as a by-product and is still focused on the manufacturing of cars. This summary refers to the paper Challenges in the Development of Mobile Online Services in the Automotive Industry -A Case Study. This paper was published as full research paper in the proceedings of the Joint International Conference on Software and System Processes and International Conference on Global Software Engineering 2021.

description: Using linked census data from 1980, 1985, and 1990 actual succession decisions of Upper-Austrian farm households are examined empirically. Two types of succession are distinguished by inspecting the age of the farm operator and other household members in the consecutive census observations : “family succession” (succession by the farm operator’s child) and “non-family succession” (the farm is sold outside the family). Farm exits are considered as an additional category in the model. Several characteristics of the farm and of the farm operator’s household are found to influence the succession decision significantly. Model choice and specification issues are discussed.

description: Scaling Bayesian optimisation (BO) to high-dimensional search spaces is a active and open research problems particularly when no assumptions are made on function structure. The main reason is that at each iteration, BO requires to find global maximisation of acquisition function, which itself is a non-convex optimization problem in the original search space. With growing dimensions, the computational budget for this maximisation gets increasingly short leading to inaccurate solution of the maximisation. This inaccuracy adversely affects both the convergence and the efficiency of BO. We propose a novel approach where the acquisition function only requires maximisation on a discrete set of low dimensional subspaces embedded in the original high-dimensional search space. Our method is free of any low dimensional structure assumption on the function unlike many recent high-dimensional BO methods. Optimising acquisition function in low dimensional subspaces allows our method to obtain accurate solutions within limited computational budget. We show that in spite of this convenience, our algorithm remains convergent. In particular, cumulative regret of our algorithm only grows sub-linearly with the number of iterations. More importantly, as evident from our regret bounds, our algorithm provides a way to trade the convergence rate with the number of subspaces used in the optimisation. Finally, when the number of subspaces is "sufficiently large", our algorithm's cumulative regret is at most $\mathcal{O}^{*}(\sqrt{Tγ_T})$ as opposed to $\mathcal{O}^{*}(\sqrt{DTγ_T})$ for the GP-UCB of Srinivas et al. (2012), reducing a crucial factor $\sqrt{D}$ where $D$ being the dimensional number of input space.

description: Tea is an important export commodity for Uganda. Increasing its output and quality remains at the heart of increasing Uganda’s tea export competitiveness. However, increased export competitiveness hasn’t been achieved due to a number of reasons, some of which are cost of production, limited research, inadequate processing facilities, barriers to land acquisition and poor farmer organization. This is especially true with smallholder farmers who do not have access to some of the resources that estates farmers do. A study by Munyambonera et. al. (2014)1 using data from the International Tea Committee (2012) provide lessons to Uganda on how Kenya increased its export value and volume through increasing of output and improving of quality.

description: Excessive cold or overheating can cause a decline in driver performance and even serious traffic accidents, but the influence mechanism of ambient temperature and vehicle speeds on drivers’ cognitive performance is still unclear. This research developed an easy driving simulator experiment to study driver performance under different ambient temperatures and vehicle speeds. Simulated driving tasks were performed by 30 male participants at different speeds in low, medium, and high-temperature environments. A behavioral experiment was adopted, and the average reaction time of emergency braking was used as the evaluation index of driver performance. Both ambient temperature and vehicle speed had a statistically significant relationship with driver’s braking reaction time, and the interaction effect was significant. Drivers’ cognitive efforts in medium-temperature environments were significantly lower than that at high and low temperatures. Compared with previous studies, this study also monitored differences in the activity of drivers’ brain regions in three ambient temperatures, providing a physiological basis for measuring drivers’ cognitive efforts.

description: The problem considered is the following. Given a graph with edge weights satisfying the triangle inequality, and a degree bound for each vertex, compute a low-weight spanning tree such that the degree of each vertex is at most its specified bound. The problem is NP-hard (it generalizes Traveling Salesman (TSP)). This paper describes a network-flow heuristic for modifying a given tree T to meet the constraints. Choosing T to be a minimum spanning tree (MST) yields approximation algorithms with performance guarantee less than 2 for the problem on geometric graphs with L_p-norms. The paper also describes a Euclidean graph whose minimum TSP costs twice the MST, disproving a conjecture made in ``Low-Degree Spanning Trees of Small Weight'' (1996).

description: Investments on Ugandan smallholders and estates to improve output, productivity and quality depends on an environment that favours a broad range of interlinked policy measures. These policy measures include land reforms, tea research and extension services, marketing and promotion, and resource mobilization and utilization. The ability of Uganda to address the above enumerated policy measures is impeded by inconsistencies. The inconsistencies arise because of existence of multiple initiatives which create uncertainty among stake holders. A study by Munyambonera et. al (2014)1 using data from the International Tea Committee (2012) draws lessons for Uganda from the approach Kenya used to coordinate the multiple interventions, ministries, departments and agencies in the tea sector-a comprehensive tea policy and a tea authority.

 Pyrgotoides Curran 1934 (type species P. crassipes Curran, by original designation).
 Gerrhoceras Hering 1942 (type species G. paradoxa Hering, by original designation). New synonymy.
 Gerrhoceras Hering is here considered a subjective junior synonym of Pyrgotoides Curran, and P. paradoxus (Hering 1942), new combination, and P. peruvianus (Korytkowski 1976), new combination, are transferred from Gerrhoceras.
 Pyrgotoides belongs to the tribe Dithrycini, indicated by its eversible membrane, on which the ventral stripes of spinules extended from the taeniae are fused medially (Fig. 100) (Korneyev 1999). The species of the genus share the following mostly apomorphic characters: eye relatively small, genal height more than half long diameter of eye (Fig. 97); lunule large and setulose; antenna very short, first flagellomere no longer than pedicel; major thoracic setae short or absent; scutellum usually high and convex or produced dorsoapically, entirely microtrichose, and without distinct yellow markings; wing (Figs. 91–92) elongate (> 2.5 times as long as wide) and predominantly brown, with 2 large hyaline areas on posterior margin and often with hyaline triangle on anterior margin distal to apex of vein R 1; body large (wing length> 7 mm), predominantly brown. We have not examined the primary type specimens of either P. crassipes or P. paradoxus, but have seen other specimens that appear to be conspecific with each of them. These specimens share a further apomorphy (first flagellomere setulose) with some but not all of the other species of Pyrgotoides. Besides the three described species, there are at least four undescribed species. Only P. peruvianus has been reared; it forms large stem galls on Ophryosporus peruvianus (J.G. Gmel.) R.M. King & H. Rob. (Asteraceae: Eupatorieae) (Korytkowski 1976). Pyrgotoides species are known from Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.

description: We present a user study with developers at Amazon Web Services on their expectations of IDE support for cloud-based static analyses. The paper was originally presented at ESEC/FSE 2021. Many companies are providing Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools as a service. These tools fit well into CI/CD, because CI/CD allows time for deep static analyses on large code bases and prevents vulnerabilities in the early stages of the development lifecycle. In CI/CD, the SAST tools usually run in the cloud and provide findings via a web interface. Recent studies show that developers prefer seeing the findings of these tools directly in their IDEs. Most tools with IDE integration run lightweight static analyses and can give feedback at coding time, but SAST tools take longer to run and usually are not able to do so. Can developers interact directly with a cloud-based SAST tool that is typically used in CI/CD through their IDE? We conducted a user study to explore how such IDE support should be designed. Through this study we identified the key design elements expected by developers and investigated whether an IDE solution fits better into developers’ workflow in comparison to a web-based solution.

description: At the beginning of the 21st Century, the Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) introduced coffee in the mid-North subregion. This marked the beginning of the sub-region’s transition from dependency on annual crops such as cotton to a perennial crop. While the long-term objective of UCDA was to find ways of sustaining the coffee sector amidst the coffee wilt disease in the traditional coffee growing regions, the opening up of coffee growing opportunities to enhance the incomes of agricultural households in a former war-ravaged Mid-North was a well-conceived strategy. Several studies have demonstrated that coffee sector remains key in Uganda’s poverty reductions efforts as well as pointing to the limited poverty reduction effects among those households who depended mainly on annual crops such as cotton. This policy brief draws from the research paper by Mbowa et al. (2014)1 focusing mainly on the prospects and challenges of the coffee sector in the mid-North of Uganda. There is growing evidence in the sub-region that the systematic coffee planting by the UCDA has yielded positive results in the subregion. On average, there are 16,000 farmers with 10,045 hectares of coffee, and in 2013 coffee output was 154 metric tons and projected to increase to 16,323 metric tons by 2017 with start of harvesting of new planted trees. Apac, Lira, Nwoya and Oyam are among the districts with the highest potential for coffee production. Despite the faster adoption of coffee in the sub-region, there are challenges that need to be addressed if the UCDA’s objectives are to be realized. The major challenges relate to lack of organized marketing and processing infrastructure to support value addition; and inadequate coffee specialized extension support system to narrow the knowledge gap about recommended agronomic practices among farmers.

description: Substantial efforts have been devoted more recently to presenting various methods for object detection in optical remote sensing images. However, the current survey of datasets and deep learning based methods for object detection in optical remote sensing images is not adequate. Moreover, most of the existing datasets have some shortcomings, for example, the numbers of images and object categories are small scale, and the image diversity and variations are insufficient. These limitations greatly affect the development of deep learning based object detection methods. In the paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the recent deep learning based object detection progress in both the computer vision and earth observation communities. Then, we propose a large-scale, publicly available benchmark for object DetectIon in Optical Remote sensing images, which we name as DIOR. The dataset contains 23463 images and 192472 instances, covering 20 object classes. The proposed DIOR dataset 1) is large-scale on the object categories, on the object instance number, and on the total image number; 2) has a large range of object size variations, not only in terms of spatial resolutions, but also in the aspect of inter- and intra-class size variability across objects; 3) holds big variations as the images are obtained with different imaging conditions, weathers, seasons, and image quality; and 4) has high inter-class similarity and intra-class diversity. The proposed benchmark can help the researchers to develop and validate their data-driven methods. Finally, we evaluate several state-of-the-art approaches on our DIOR dataset to establish a baseline for future research.

The calculation is performed in the range Z=1-100. A large contribution of terms of order $(αZ)^5$ and higher is found. Even for hydrogen, the higher-order correction exceeds the $(αZ)^4$ term, while for uranium it is above the leading $(αZ)^2$ correction.

description: In our earlier Paper I we showed that the accretion disc radius of the dwarf nova HT Cas in its quiescent state has not changed significantly during many years of observations. It has remained consistently large, close to the tidal truncation radius. This result is inconsistent with the modern understanding of the evolution of the disc radius through an outburst cycle. Here we present a new set of time-resolved spectra of HT Cas obtained in the middle of its 2017 superoutburst. We used Doppler tomography to map emission structures in the system, which we compared with those detected in quiescence. We used solutions of the restricted three-body problem to re-discuss the location of emission structures and the disc size of HT Cas in quiescence. The superoutburst spectrum is similar in appearance to the quiescent spectra, although the strength of most of the emission lines decreased. However, the high-excitation lines significantly strengthened in comparison with the Balmer lines. Many lines show a mix of broad emission and narrow absorption components. H$α$ in superoutburst was much narrower than in quiescence. Other emission lines also narrowed in outburst, but they had not become as narrow as H$α$. Doppler maps of H$α$ in quiescence, and of the H$β$ and HeI lines in outburst are dominated by a bright emission arc in the right side of the tomograms, which is located at and even beyond the theoretical truncation limit. However, the bulk of the H$α$ emission in outburst has significantly lower velocities. We show that the accretion disc radius of HT Cas during its superoutburst has become hot but remained the same size as it was in quiescence. Instead, we detected cool gas beyond the Roche lobe of the white dwarf that may have been expelled from the hot disc during the superoutburst.

description: Forecasts are often evaluated by either quantitative precision or qualitative reliability. However, consumers purchase forecasts for the potential utility gains from utilizing the forecasts, not for their accuracy. This is analogous to household production theory where goods are purchased for their derivative consumption services. Using Monte Carlo techniques to incorporate the temporal heteroscedasticity inherent in asset returns, the expected utility of qualitative forecasts are simulated. The associated monetary values for directional forecasts of various reliability levels are then derived. The method goes beyond normal forecast evaluation and allows forecast consumers to price the information value of a set of forecasts given their own utility function and trading system.

The paper presents four generally applicable patterns for the combination of multiple SMT decision procedures in a meta-solving strategy and demonstrates how a meta-solving strategy for string constraints can be developed in a data-driven approach based on these patterns: The paper cleans up and merges existing collections of SMT benchmarks in string theory solving to evaluate and compare derived meta-solving strategies. Notably, we can demonstrate on the available data that commonly used strategies as earliest returning SMT solver do not always return the most reliable result if all available SMT solvers are combined. Instead, cross-checking strategies work slightly better at moderate overhead.

description: As part our investigation into the Galactic rotation curve, we carried out Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations towards the star-forming region IRAS 01123+6430 using VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) to measure its annual parallax and proper motion. The annual parallax was measured to be 0.151+/-0.042 mas, which corresponds to a distance of D=6.61^{+2.55}_{-1.44} kpc, and the obtained proper motion components were (μ_αcosδ, μ_δ)=(-1.44+/-0.15, -0.27+/-0.16) mas yr^{-1} in equatorial coordinates. Assuming Galactic constants of (R_0, Θ_0)=(8.05+/-0.45 kpc, 238+/-14 km s^{-1}), the Galactocentric distance and rotation velocity were measured to be (R, Θ)=(13.04+/-2.24 kpc, 239+/-22 km s^{-1}), which are consistent with a flat Galactic rotation curve. The newly estimated distance provides a more accurate bolometric luminosity of the central young stellar object, L_Bol=(3.11+/-2.86)\times 10^3 L_solar, which corresponds to a spectral type of B1-B2. The analysis of 12CO(J=1-0) survey data obtained with the Five College Radio Astronomical Observatory (FCRAO) 14 m telescope shows that the molecular cloud associated with IRAS 01123+6430 consists of arc-like and linear components, which well matches a structure predicted by numerical simulation of the cloud-cloud collision (CCC) phenomenon. The coexistence of arc-like and linear components implies that the relative velocity of initial two clouds was as slow as 3-5 km s^{-1}, which meets the expected criteria of massive star formation where the core mass is effectively increased in the presence of low relative velocity (~3-5 km s^{-1}), as suggested by Takahira et al.(2014).

description: Flaky tests that non-deterministically pass or fail without any code changes constitute an impediment to regression testing. To understand when and how flaky tests can be detected most efficiently, we analyzed the commit histories of known flaky tests. We find that 75% of flaky tests are flaky when added, indicating substantial value for developers to run detectors specifically on newly added tests. The percentage of flaky tests that can be detected early increases to 85% when detectors are run on both newly added and directly modified tests.

description: Recent studies suggests that in disordered ultrathin films superconducting (SC) state may be intrinsically inhomogeneous. Here we investigate the nature of SC state in ultrathin Nb films, of thickness $d$ ranging from 1.2 nm to 20 nm, which undergo a transition from amorphous to polycrystalline structure at the thickness $d \simeq 3.3$ nm. We show that the properties of SC state are very different in polycrystalline and amorphous films. The upper critical field ($H_{c2}$) is orbitally limited in the first case, and paramagnetically limited in the latter. The magnetic field induced superconductor-metal transition is observed, with the critical field approximately constant or decreasing as a power-law with the film conductance in polycrystalline or amorphous films, respectively. The scaling analysis indicates distinct scaling exponents in these two types of films. Negative contribution of the SC fluctuations to conductivity exists above $H_{c2}$, particularly pronounced in amorphous films, signaling the presence of fluctuating Cooper pairs. These observations suggest the development of local inhomogeneities in the amorphous films, in the form of proximity-coupled SC islands. An usual evolution of SC correlations on cooling is observed in amorphous films, likely related to the effect of quantum fluctuations on the proximity-induced phase coherence.
Supporting information from High-sensitive and fast response to 255 nm deep-UV light of CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) bulk crystals

description: Deep-UV light detection has important application in surveillance and homeland security regions. CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) materials have outstanding optical absorption and electronic transport properties suitable for obtaining excellent deep-UV photoresponse. In this work, we grown high-quality CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) bulk crystals and used them to fabricate photodetectors. We found that they all behave high-sensitive and fast-speed response to 255 nm deep-UV light. Their responsivities are 10–103 times higher than MgZnO and Ga2O3 detectors, and their response speed are 103 times faster than Ga2O3 and ZnO detectors. These results indicate a new promising route for deep-UV detection.

description: Resumen: Desde el margen físico y simbólico que señala la diferencia —social, étnica, de género, etc.—, Clara Obligado ofrece a través de su mirada extranjera una visión comprometida y crítica en aras de definir y acotar al migrante, invitando a repensar las convenciones sociales y las prácticas discriminatorias a él vinculadas en el contexto actual. Esta es una de las líneas temáticas que atraviesa su poética, haciendo especial hincapié en El libro de los viajes equivocados (Páginas de Espuma, 2011), y en concreto en uno de los relatos incluidos en él y al que se dedica la presente edición: «Las dos hermanas».

Abstract: From the symbolic and physical scope which points out the [social, ethnical, and gender, etc.] difference, Clara Obligado offers a critical and compromised view through her foreigner insight in order to define and to narrow down the immigrant figure, leading the reader to rethink the social conventions and the discriminating practices to which the foreigner is connected in the current context. This is one of the main topics that extends through her poetics, highlighted it in El libro de los viajes equivocados (Páginas de Espuma, 2011), especially in one of the short stories included to which this edition is dedicated: «Las dos hermanas».

description: The multisymplectic structure of the KP equation is obtained directly from the variational principal. Using the covariant De Donder-Weyl Hamilton function theories, we reformulate the KP equation to the multisymplectic form which proposed by Bridges. From the multisymplectic equation, we can derive a multisymplectic numerical scheme of the KP equation which can be simplified to multisymplectic forty-five points scheme.

Environmental Protection Through Local Land Use Controls

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1991
Subjects: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: Local land use controls seek to limit the impact of one neighbor on another sometimes protecting natural resource environmental values. Federal and State programs to protect environmental values cannot do everything. They leave a residual risk of environmental loss that local people may want to address. Land use controls are traditionally zoning, subdivision control, and site plan review. These and other local controls have advantages in reducing risk, particularly when they are a part of an integrated approach that makes full use of the advantages at each level of government. Aspects of partnership approaches are discussed. In 1989, 449 members of the New York Planning Federation were asked to indicate if they used land use controls to reduce environmental risks, particularly risks to water quality. Freshwater wet lands, flood plains, and watershed rules and regulations are used in addition to traditional land use controls. Modifications to land use controls were made by almost half of the jurisdictions to protect natural resource environmental values, 26% to protect water quality. A fifth recognized they have water quality problems but as yet had not adapted their land use controls to this need. One third of the responses indicated they were involved in intergovernmental cooperation in the management of their controls -half the time with the county. The State should debate how and whether it chooses to stimulate changes which would encourage the use of the untapped potential for local land use controls to protect environmental quality.
