description: In the recent paper [17] the first experimental determination of the density matrix of a free electron beam has been reported. The employed method leads to a linear inverse problem with a positive semidefinite operator as unknown. The purpose of this paper is to complement the experimental and algorithmic results in the work mentioned above by a mathematical analysis of the inverse problem concerning uniqueness, stability, and rates of convergence under different types of a-priori information.

The molecular structures of 1–5 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction; the square-planar palladium centers were slightly influenced by the ancillary ligand. The 13C NMR of ferrocenyl carbon (Pd-C) shifted from 97.72 to 98.39 ppm which was used as an indicator of different electron-donating ability of ancillary ligands. The catalytic performance of seven complexes for the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of 4-iodotoluene and phenylboronic acid were evaluated under inert conditions and in air. The yields of 4-methylbiphenyl are 68–95%. Effects of ancillary ligands were explored in the catalytic mechanism.
With ‘Regional Territorial Agendas’ towards territorial cohesion?: The emergence of supra-regional coalitions in Europe and their future role in Cohesion Policy

description: This paper focuses on current trends of regionalisation with supra-regional coalitions emerging in Europe. In the context of further European integration and institutionalisation of cross-border cooperation, functional integration in cross-border areas is developing. By exploiting cross-border territorial capital these coalitions might contribute to the concept of territorial cohesion stated and upgraded in the European Union’s Treaty of Lisbon. The paper considers the right scale for these emerging supra-regional coalitions and their implications for the European Spatial Development Policy. When elaborating on the right delineation of supra- or transnational regional coalitions and about policy options, ‘territorial knowledge’ on territorial specificities, territorial capital and development potential is urgently needed. In border regions this includes cross-border functional linkages and interdependencies. The paper highlights an enhanced framework condition for cross-border functional integration and gives examples of supra-regional coalitions emerging in Europe, especially along Germany’s borders. It shows the difficulties with cross-border data availability for delineation of supra-regional coalitions in Europe and discusses the implications for European Cohesion Policy.

description: In this paper I introduce the probability distribution of the local overlap in spin glasses. The properties of the local overlaps are studied in details. These quantities are related to the recently proposed local version of the fluctuation dissipation relations: using the general principle of stochastic stability these local fluctuation dissipation relations can be proved in a way that is very similar to the usual proof of the fluctuation dissipation relations for intensive quantities. The local overlap and its probability distribution play a crucial role in this proof. Similar arguments can be used to prove that all sites in an aging experiment stay at the same effective temperature at the same time.

description: Pre-main sequence stars are variable sources. In diskless stars this variability is mainly due to the rotational modulation of dark photospheric spots and active regions, as in main sequence stars even if associated with a stronger magnetic activity. Aims. We aim at analyzing the simultaneous optical and X-ray variability in these stars to unveil how the activity in the photosphere is connected with that in the corona, to identify the dominant surface magnetic activity, and to correlate our results with stellar properties, such as rotation and mass. Methods. We analyzed the simultaneous optical and X-ray variability in stars without inner disks (e.g., class III objects and stars with transition disks) in NGC 2264 from observations obtained with Chandra/ACIS-I and CoRoT as part of the Coordinated Synoptic Investigation of NGC 2264. We searched for those stars whose optical and X-ray variability is correlated, anti-correlated, or not correlated by sampling their optical and X-ray light curves in suitable time intervals and studying the correlation between the flux observed in optical and in X-rays. We then studied how this classification is related with stellar properties. Results. Starting from a sample of 74 class III/transition disk (TD) stars observed with CoRoT and detected with Chandra with more than 60 counts, we selected 16 stars whose optical and X-ray variability is anti-correlated, 11 correlated, and 17 where there is no correlation. The remaining stars did not fall in any of these groups. We interpreted the anti-correlated optical and X-ray variability as typical of spot-dominated sources, due to the rotational modulation of photospheric spots spatially coincident to coronal active regions, and correlated variability typical of faculae-dominated sources, where the brightening due to faculae is dominant over the darkening due to spots.

description: Irrigation fuel costs represent a significant portion of rice production expenses. Multiple inlet (MI) irrigation represents a water saving alternative to conventional flood irrigation. This study uses simulation to calculate the range of monetary benefits to MI in rice production. Water savings from MI relative to conventional flood irrigation along with rice yields, rice prices, and prices for key production inputs (diesel and fertilizer) are simulated, and stochastic rice net returns above variable and fixed expenses are calculated for different pump lifts with and without MI. Monetary benefits to MI are measured as the difference in net returns with and without MI. The results indicate MI monetary benefits depend greatly on pump lift and the presence or absence of a yield increase. Monetary benefits to MI increase as pump lifts become larger, and relatively small increases in yield resulting from MI irrigation can greatly enhance its payoff.

description: We identify the kinks of a deformed O(3) linear Sigma model as the solutions of a set of first-order systems of equations; the above model is a generalization of the MSTB model with a three-component scalar field. Taking into account certain kink energy sum rules we show that the variety of kinks has the structure of a moduli space that can be compactified in a fairly natural way. The generic kinks, however, are unstable and Morse Theory provides the framework for the analysis of kink stability.

Dust In I Zw 18 From Hubble Space Telescope Narrow Band Imaging

description: We present new WFPC2 narrow band imaging of the blue compact dwarf galaxy I Zw 18, which is host to the lowest-metallicity HII regions known. Images at H-alpha and H-beta are combined with archival broad band images to allow the study of the ionized gas distribution and morphology. Analysis of the H-alpha/H-beta flux ratio reveals significant enhancements in some areas of both the ``Northwest'' and ``Southeast'' regions of the galaxy, with ratios elevated to levels as high as 3.4. The H-alpha/H-beta ratio varies considerably with position throughout the galaxy. Comparing this distribution with the stellar distribution indicates that the regions of enhanced H-alpha/H-beta ratio are not due to the effects of either collisional excitation or underlying stellar absorption, and therefore are most likely interpreted as the presence of dust. This dust has an estimated mass of (2-5)x10^3 solar masses, which is consistent with the IRAS far-IR non-detection. Under the assumption that dust traces the presence of molecular gas, these results suggest that the molecular component of the ISM of I Zw 18, which is needed to fuel its active star formation, is also very clumpy. Such a distribution would be consistent with the recent FUSE non-detections of diffuse H_2.

In Sub-Saharan Africa roaddeterioration isperceivedtobeoneofthemaincausesforthelimitedsupplyresponseafter price liberalization in agricultural markets. Studies of the quantitative effects on marketing margins are rare. This analysis shows that the wholesale -producer food price margin is strongly influenced by the quality of the road infrastructure. Evidence from Zaire shows that food prices decrease faster than transportation costs increase and that traders' wages are higher on bad roads. A trader's model incorporating uncertainty in input costs is used to explain this phenomenon.

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1995
Subjects: Labor and Human Capital

description: Although it has been shown that the poor are more responsive to food price changes than other people, they still may face higher food prices. Evidence from Zaire shows that there exists a movement within the month in food prices corresponding to changes in food supply and food demand. This movement is caused by increased income and demand at the end ofthe month due to a fixed pay date. This movement is especially harmful for the poor, who buy in small quantities. Using a Benthamite social welfare junction, it is shown that rescheduling the payday for different sectors or splitting up payments in smaller amounts will result in higher social welfare.

description: We first argue that the collective behaviour of the Cooper pairs created by thermal fluctuations well above the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, is dominated by the uncertainty principle which, in particular, leads to a well-defined temperature, T^C, above which the superconducting coherence vanishes. On the grounds of the BCS approach, the corresponding reduced-temperature, ln(T^C/Tc), is estimated to be around 0.55, i.e., above T^C \approx 1.7Tc coherent Cooper pairs cannot exist. The implications of these proposals on the superfluid density are then examined using the Gaussian-Ginzburg-Landau approximation. Then we present new measurements of the thermal fluctuation effects on the electrical conductivity and on the magnetization in different low- and high-Tc superconductors with different dopings which are in excellent agreement with these proposals and that demonstrate the universality of ln(T^C/Tc).

description: This study presents a new explanation of asymmetric price behavior infood markets based on the presence of transactions costs,and provides evidence from a developing country. Price liberalization can in many cases be insufficient for efficien toperation of African food markets. This is mainly due to the existence of significant transactions costs, caused by deficient infrastructure and information systems. A model based on search costs and kinked demand curves is used to explain asymmetric price behavior in retail markets in Kinshasa (Zaire).

description: One set of programs that are the responsibility of the new (Consolidated) Farm Service Agency (FSA) is the farmer loan programs of the former Farmers Home Administration (FmHA). As FSA attempts to integrate and coordinate the former FmHA, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) and Federal Crop Insurance programs, the farm credit programs will pose some particular challenges. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the issues relative to the farm credit programs that may be important in understanding and dealing with these challenges. Topics covered include the rationale for government lending to farmers, a historical perspective on farm credit programs, a short review of our experience with the important farm loan programs, a discussion of some of the problems associated with providing federal farm credit and some thoughts about current and potential relationships with other lenders

description: Spatial predictive models are used extensively in ecological applications as well as in many other domains. Their effectiveness for a given purpose depends on, among other things, a robust assessment of accuracy, particularly classification accuracy, which quantifies the difference between a prediction/classification and its “true” or observed value. In spite of their limitations, overall accuracy metrics such as percent correctly classified and kappa are still widely used, although more precise metrics that are able to differentiate between errors associated with location versus quantity have been introduced (Pontius and Millones 2011, Pontius and Santacruz 2014). In addition to overall accuracy measures, different aspects of classification accuracy can be measured relative to the observed values (e.g., errors of omission, producer’s accuracy), the predicted values (e.g., errors of commission, user’s accuracy), and class-specific accuracy. While a variety of accuracy metrics are available, most provide a single assessment value for an entire study area without taking into consideration local variations in spatial accuracy. Global measures of accuracy can be misleading when accuracy varies spatially and may be particularly problematic when the relative importance of predictive accuracy is different throughout the study area. Recent developments in accuracy assessment from remote sensing have illustrated the benefits of providing local measures of accuracy, but these have yet to be applied within the ecological domain. We use a case study of benthic habitat classes in a remote region offshore from NW Australia to demonstrate the value of calculating locally varying diagnostics of classification accuracy for an ecological model by comparing the variation in the resulting maps to the associated global values.
Gravity Waves from Rotating Neutron Stars and Evaluation of Fast Chirp Transform Techniques
Creators: name: Strohmayer, Tod E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: X-ray observations suggest that neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) are rotating with frequencies from 300 - 600 Hz. These spin rates are significantly less than the break-up rates for essentially all realistic neutron star equations of state, suggesting that some process may limit the spin frequencies of accreting neutron stars to this range. If the accretion induced spin up torque is in equilibrium with gravitational radiation losses, these objects could be interesting sources of gravity waves. I present a brief summary of current measurements of neutron star spins in LMXBs based on the observations of high-Q oscillations during thermonuclear bursts (so called ``burst oscillations''). Further measurements of neutron star spins will be important in exploring the gravitational radiation hypothesis in more detail. To this end I also present a study of fast chirp transform (FCT) techniques as described by Jenet & Prince (2000) in the context of searching for the chirping signals observed during X-ray bursts.

Subjects: subject: 90903 Geospatial Information Systems

description: Interpolation techniques provide a method to convert point sampling data into a continuous estimate of a field phenomenon and have become a fundamental geocomputational technique of spatial and geographical analysts. Natural neighbour interpolation is one method of interpolation that has several useful properties: it is an exact interpolator, it creates a smooth surface free of any discontinuities, it is a local method, and is spatially adaptive. However, as with any interpolation method, there will be uncertainty in how well the interpolated field values reflect actual phenomenon values. Using a method based on distance error rates calculated for data points via leave-one-out cross-validation, reasonable estimates of interpolation error can be made, at least within the convex hull of the data points. While this method does not replace the need for analysts to use sound judgement in their interpolations, it does provide a valuable tool to aid in assessing the uncertainty associated with those interpolations.

description: We present a kinetic theory for a dilute noncondensed Bose gas of two-level atoms that predicts the transient spin segregation observed in a recent experiment. The underlying mechanism driving spin currents in the gas is due to a mean field effect arising from the quantum interference between the direct and exchange scattering of atoms in different spin states. We numerically solve the spin Boltzmann equation, using a one dimensional model, and find excellent agreement with experimental data.

description: This paper reports and discusses the results of a survey conducted among experts working in the field of decision support systems (DSS) in Australian agriculture. It also reviews the literature on DSS in the light of these experts’ responses. The findings from this survey have consolidated our understanding of the current state of DSS in Australian agriculture. The uptake of DSS by farmers has been slow and various issues said to be contributing to this include fear of using computers, time constraints, poor marketing, complexity, lack of local relevance, lack of end-user involvement, and mismatched objectives between developers and users. The future prospects for the development of DSS were generally regarded as poor. Nevertheless, the authors believe that new DSS which embrace suggested criteria for developing them could be widely accepted by farmers. These criteria mean that to be widely used by farmers, any successful DSS needs to address widespread problems: they need to be location specific, and gain strong support from initial users. They also need to be simple to use, relevant, effective, low cost, and user-friendly, and it is most likely that farmers would have been involved in their development. We believe that farmers’ personalities, and their attitudes towards risk management and decision making, will influence the pattern of adoption of DSS in Australian agriculture while the intergenerational change that is occurring in the management of Australian farms is a positive factor that may encourage more widespread use of these tools.

description: With the general trend towards data-driven decision making (DDDM), organizations are looking for ways to use DDDM to improve their decisions. However, few studies have looked into the practitioners view of DDDM, in particular for agile organizations. In this paper we investigated the experiences of using DDDM, and how data can improve decision making. An emailed questionnaire was sent out to 124 industry practitioners in agile software developing companies, of which 84 answered. The results show that few practitioners indicated a widespread use of DDDM in their current decision making practices. The practitioners were more positive to its future use for higher-level and more general decision making, fairly positive to its use for requirements elicitation and prioritization decisions, while being less positive to its future use at the team level. The practitioners do see a lot of potential for DDDM in an agile context; however, currently unfulfilled.

description: This paper reviews historical, philosophical and socio-cultural information as a means of explaining why saltbush in Australia has declined. That decline coincided with introduced hard hoofed animals overgrazing native pastures and was compounded by land clearing. Over time, losing ecosystem diversity degraded vegetation, soil and water resources; subsequently, watertables rose. A benefit of saltbush ecosystems has been keeping landscape function stable by controlling saline watertables. In suitable ecosystems, the reintroduction of saltbush would be potentially highly rewarding, but significant impediments block the way, none more so than a decision-making context overwhelmingly constrained by short-term production and financial considerations. The authors investigate those impediments and consider economic, environmental and social imperatives in devising a suggested long-term plan for reintroduction.

description: The addition of a trifunctional silicon alkoxide methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) to aluminum oxide hydroxide pseudoboehmite nanorod (PBNR) aqueous dispersions resulted in adhesion between the PBNR colloids to form macroporous monoliths. The use of higher amounts of MTMS led to coarsening of the skeletons and strengthening of the skeletal structures, giving the monoliths water resistance. When a dispersion of zirconium oxide nanoparticles and MTMS was used as the starting material, a macroporous monolith was also obtained by the same simple process. Colloidal gelation occurs because the silanol moiety is more likely to react with the colloid surface of ceramic materials than with other silanols derived from MTMS and their oligomer. With the development of materials chemistry, colloidal dispersions with various shapes and compositions are becoming available as products. The present mechanism is expected to make fabrication of various porous monoliths with characteristic morphologies and properties feasible depending on the colloid made as the starting material.
Local Structure of Functional Solids

description: The local structure study reveals important aspects of the physical properties, because it is closely related to the electronic structure. Standard crystallographic analysis based on a space group fails to observe disorder in the crystal structure. Many functional and industrial materials have disorder, because of the optimized modifications of crystal structures such as the substitution of an element. Doped elements inevitably induce local strains in the matrix. Some neutron total scattering results are reviewed to show the local functional properties of solids from optical recording to negative thermal expansion to Mott transition materials.

description: We study the evolution of a two component fluid consisting of ``blue'' and ``red'' particles which interact via strong short range (hard core) and weak long range pair potentials. At low temperatures the equilibrium state of the system is one in which there are two coexisting phases. Under suitable choices of space-time scalings and system parameters we first obtain (formally) a mesoscopic kinetic Vlasov-Boltzmann equation for the one particle position and velocity distribution functions, appropriate for a description of the phase segregation kinetics in this system. Further scalings then yield Vlasov-Euler and incompressible Vlasov-Navier-Stokes equations. We also obtain, via the usual truncation of the Chapman-Enskog expansion, compressible Vlasov-Navier-Stokes equations.

Structure, Photophysics and the Order-Disorder Transition to the Beta Phase in Poly(9,9-(di -n,n-octyl)fluorene)

description: X-ray diffraction, UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy have been used to study the well-known order-disorder transition (ODT) to the beta phase in poly(9,9-(di n,n-octyl)fluorene)) (PF8) thin film samples through combination of time-dependent and temperature-dependent measurements. The ODT is well described by a simple Avrami picture of one-dimensional nucleation and growth but crystallization, on cooling, proceeds only after molecular-level conformational relaxation to the so called beta phase. Rapid thermal quenching is employed for PF8 studies of pure alpha phase samples while extended low-temperature annealing is used for improved beta phase formation. Low temperature PL studies reveal sharp Franck-Condon type emission bands and, in the beta phase, two distinguishable vibronic sub-bands with energies of approximately 199 and 158 meV at 25 K. This improved molecular level structural order leads to a more complete analysis of the higher-order vibronic bands. A net Huang-Rhys coupling parameter of just under 0.7 is typically observed but the relative contributions by the two distinguishable vibronic sub-bands exhibit an anomalous temperature dependence. The PL studies also identify strongly correlated behavior between the relative beta phase 0-0 PL peak position and peak width. This relationship is modeled under the assumption that emission represents excitons in thermodynamic equilibrium from states at the bottom of a quasi-one-dimensional exciton band. The crystalline phase, as observed in annealed thin-film samples, has scattering peaks which are incompatible with a simple hexagonal packing of the PF8 chains.

description: New York FarmNet, a state supported, toll-free, phone help-line for farmers began in March 1986 in response to the farm financial crisis. Its purpose included providing information/refelTal, individualized business/financial analysis and a general safety net for farm families, From March 1986 through March 1991 FmmNet received 3853 calls and assigned 534 consultants to work one-to-onc with fm'm families experiencing severe problems. A summm'y of caller characteristics revealed that slightly over half of callers were males, and nearly all were owners or operators rather than farm workers. Each year caller fmm size averaged between 230 and 320 acres, but the range was from one acre to over 4000 acres. Years of fm'ming experience each year averaged 16 to 23 years, but the range was from I yem' or less to a lifetime. Average debt of callers each yem' averaged between $100,000 and $200,000, and several callers reported debt of over $1,000,000. The main reasons for calling FarmNet were financial or financial/legal problems, but many other reasons were given including need for job information and emotional stress, A 1990-91 phone survey sampled people who had called FarmNet in 1986-87. The survey asked about their recollections of help received from FarmNet. They were generally positive on the helpfulness of the phone operators and remembered considering a number of options as a result of a FarmNet consultant visit. About one third of those callers is no longer fm'ming, and one fifth is in a different type of farming than in 1986-87. Based on five years of the program, several conclusions were offered. 1) A segment of the fm'm population is likely to be at risk each yem'; hence, there is a continuing need for addressing such problems; 2) FarmNet served an audience that would not have been reached by previously existing programs; 3) FarmNet's accomplishments went beyond just focusing on problems of callers to build expertise within Cornell Cooperative Extension staff and networking with other agencies and help sources; 4) The program achieved a positive image under the difficult circumstances of sometimes being the messenger of "bad news"; and 5) individualized, demand-driven programs such as FarmNet require difficult policy choices in these times of tight budgets.

description: During the summer of 1990 we asked all of the U.S. commodity promotion organizations we could identify to complete a questionnaire about their objectives, program activities, and evaluation methods. The 116 organizationsthat responded had a total staff of 2,017 and invested over $750 million in programs and administration in 1990. The responses indicated that producerboards of directors are very much involved in formulating program objectives.All of our respondents place a high priority on increasing aggregate commodity sales and on maximizing producer net returns. They use a variety of strategies and means to achieve their objectives, and also use a variety of evaluation methods. This report discusses in detail the relationships among objectives, activities, and evaluation methods. Our analysis of the responses leads us to conclude that those organizations that combine econometric analysis with a mix of other evaluation measures are likely to have a more comprehensive understanding of the role that their promotion programs play in changing consumer beliefs and attitudes, and subsequently, purchasing behavior .

description: We have measured the ratio, r = $σ_S/σ_T$ of the formation cross section, $σ$ of singlet ($σ_S$) and triplet ($σ_T$) excitons from oppositely charged polarons in a large variety of $π$-conjugated oligomer and polymer films, using the photoinduced absorption and optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopies. The ratio r is directly related to the singlet exciton yield, which in turn determines the maximum electroluminescence quantum efficiency in organic light emitting diodes (OLED). We discovered that r increases with the conjugation length, CL; in fact a universal dependence exists in which $r^{-1}$ depends linearly on $CL^{-1}$, irrespective of the chain backbone structure. These results indicate that $π$-conjugated polymers have a clear advantage over small molecules in OLED applications.
