description: This study evaluates the impacts of a community-driven development (CDD) project on household income and acquisition of productive assets in Nigeria. Using panel data and difference-in-differences and propensity score matching approaches, the study finds that the project succeeded in targeting the poor and women farmers in its productive asset acquisition component. Participation in the project also increased the income of beneficiaries by about 60%, which is well above the targeted increase of only 20% in the 6-year period of the project. However, sustainability of this dramatic achievement is uncertain since the project did not involve rural credit services. The large cash transfer through its productive asset acquisition component is also unsustainable.

description: Despite the acknowledged importance of agricultural science and technology (AS&T) in enhancing agricultural productivity growth, little is known about the structure of AS&T policy system in developing countries. The structure of this policy system in developing countries was analysed using a “system components-shift effects” framework, with Kenya and Uganda as case studies. The framework was incorporated into the second step technical inefficiency effects translog stochastic frontier model. Food and Agriculture Organisation data for years 1970-2002 were used as input-output data. Important AS&T policy system determinants were identified to include: research expenditures, human capital development, domestic research output, farm-level literacy, intellectual property rights regime, degree of economic openness and access to agricultural extension information.

description: After the introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh, there have been a number of generalizations of this fundamental concept. The notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets introduced by Atanassov is one among them. In this paper, we apply the concept of an intuitionistic fuzzy set to $H_v$-modules. The notion of an intuitionistic fuzzy $H_v$-submodule of an $H_v$-module is introduced, and some related properties are investigated. Characterizations of intuitionistic fuzzy $H_v$-submodules are given.

Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: The flexural–torsional vibration behavior of unrestrained and braced thin-walled beams is investigated by experimental and finite elements approaches. In the experimental part, tests in free and forced vibrations of thin walled beams with arbitrary sections are analyzed. By the help of an instrumental hammer test and a shaker machine, the natural frequencies and the response spectra of the beams are extracted in the range 1–400Hz. Beam displacements are measured by some accelerometer transducers. The behavior is also investigated by the finite element method. In mesh process, 3D beams are adopted and an additional DOF is affected to the warping. The model is implemented in a home-made model. The numerical and experimental results are compared to numerical simulations of a commercial code. Test results and numerical simulations of the present model agree well. The model seems to be accurate especially in the presence of higher vibration and coupled modes.

description: The primary method for inferring the stellar mass ($M_*$) of a galaxy is through spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling. However, the technique rests on assumptions such as the galaxy star formation history and dust attenuation law that can severely impact the accuracy of derived physical properties from SED modeling. Here, we examine the effect that the assumed star formation history (SFH) has on the stellar properties inferred from SED fitting by ground truthing them against mock observations of high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic galaxy formation simulations. Classically, SFHs are modeled with simplified parameterized functional forms, but these forms are unlikely to capture the true diversity of galaxy SFHs and may impose systematic biases with under-reported uncertainties on results. We demonstrate that flexible nonparametric star formation histories outperform traditional parametric forms in capturing variations in galaxy star formation histories, and as a result, lead to significantly improved stellar masses in SED fitting. We find a decrease in the average bias of 0.4 dex with a delayed-$τ$ model to a bias of just under 0.05 dex for the nonparametric model. Similarly, using nonparametric star formation histories in SED fitting result in increased accuracy in recovered galaxy star formation rates (SFRs) and stellar ages.

description: The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) opened up trade opportunities between the U.S. and Mexico in poultry products. Mexico agreed to reduce tariffs on agricultural products over the adjustment period and eliminate non-tariff barriers. As the phase-in of the NAFTA liberalizations reached completion, safeguard measures were instituted to protect Mexican producers from dumping or import surges and consumers from unsafe foods. Under NAFTA, tariffs on poultry meat imported into Mexico fell from 260% in 1993 to zero in 2003. Imports surged and Mexican poultry producers petitioned for protection. In July 2003, Mexico imposed a bilateral safeguard measure in the form of an annual TRQ on chicken leg quarters to protect local producers for five years. This paper analyzes the background of the U.S.-Mexican poultry trade dispute and implications of the voluntary safeguard agreement.

description: We investigate multicomponent fermions in a flat band and predict experimental signatures of non-Fermi liquid behavior. We use dynamical mean-field theory to obtain the density, double occupancy and entropy in a Lieb lattice for $\mathcal{N} = 2$ and $\mathcal{N} = 4$ components. We derive a mean-field scaling relation between the results for different values of $\mathcal{N}$, and study its breakdown due to beyond-mean field effects. The predicted signatures occur at temperatures above the Néel temperature and persist in presence of a harmonic trapping potential, thus they are observable with current ultracold gas experiments.

description: We prove that for the uniquely ergodic ${\bf R}^d$ action associated with a primitive substitution tiling of finite local complexity, every measurable eigenfunction coincides with a continuous function almost everywhere. Thus, topological weak-mixing is equivalent to measure-theoretic weak-mixing for such actions. If the expansion map for the substitution is a pure dilation by $θ>1$ and the substitution has a fixed point, then failure of weak-mixing is equivalent to $θ$ being a Pisot number.

A Novel Point Inclusion Test for Convex Polygons Based on Voronoi Tessellations

description: The point inclusion tests for polygons, in other words the point-in-polygon (PIP) algorithms, are fundamental tools for many scientific fields related to computational geometry, and they have been studied for a long time. The PIP algorithms get direct or indirect geometric definition of a polygonal entity, and validate its containment of a given point. The PIP algorithms, which are working directly on the geometric entities, derive linear boundary definitions for the edges of the polygons. Moreover, almost all direct test methods rely on the two-point form of the line equation to partition the space into half-spaces. Voronoi tessellations use an alternate approach for half-space partitioning. Instead of line equation, distance comparison between generator points is used to accomplish the same task. Voronoi tessellations consist of convex polygons, which are defined between generator points. Therefore, Voronoi tessellations have become an inspiration for us to develop a new approach of the PIP testing, specialized for convex polygons. The equations, essential to the conversion of a convex polygon to a Voronoi polygon, are derived. As a reference, a very standard convex PIP testing algorithm, \textit{the sign of offset}, is selected for comparison. For generalization of the comparisons, \textit{the ray crossing} algorithm is used as another reference. All algorithms are implemented as vector and matrix operations without any branching. This enabled us to benefit from the CPU optimizations of the underlying linear algebra libraries. Experimentation showed that, our proposed algorithm can have comparable performance characteristics with the reference algorithms. Moreover, it has simplicity, both from a geometric representation and the mental model.

description: This paper determines the degree or extent of farmer’s risk aversion that affects sustainable maize production in Northern Nigeria. Using a ridge regression analysis, a measure of risk aversion was derived for each individual farmer in a model of safety-first behaviour from a cross-sectional survey of 350 maize producers in northern Nigeria. The distribution of the degree of risk aversion shows a high skewness towards the risk averters (high risk farmers) and centered around 1.20, and standard deviation of 0.37. This distribution is then explained by a set of specific variables that characterize the farmers’ behaviour in the study area using a Tobit model. Susceptibility to risk was found to be highly premised on the socioeconomic factors (e.g. age of household head), farm specific variables (e.g. proportion of income from maize) and farmers’ attitudinal factors against risk (e.g. safety first level of probability of sale). These findings can be used to construct a framework of development programs for peasant farmers, which provide some challenging prospects

description: This paper reports on findings of a study to examine the sources used by farmers in search of agricultural information on striga and/or stemborers control technologies and factors that influence acquisition of such information in Western Kenya region. A random sample of 476 households in Suba and Vihiga districts were interviewed and 15 information pathways were identified. Using principle component analysis (PCA) to derive few latent variables that encapsulate maximum variance in the pathways, two components (latent variables) proxying for ‘agricultural knowledge’ were extracted. Type I-knowledge (first component) loaded heavily with sources that had ‘group’ information searching. Type II-knowledge (second component) loaded heavily with sources requiring individual farmer search. Both types of knowledge positively and significantly influenced the likelihood of households using improved technology to control stemborer, while only Type-II knowledge and social economic factors were important in influencing the farmers’ likelihood of using an improved technology to control striga. This study shows that information is an important factor in the households’ likelihood of using improved technologies in the control of striga and stem borer in Vihiga and Suba, Kenya. Methods of individual interaction are important to striga control.

description: Today, development and dissemination of new technologies constitute an important strategy for agricultural intensification, poverty reduction and food security in developing countries. Rice is an important source of farmers’ income and foreign currencies in developing countries. Although women play a vital role in rice production, they have not been adequately involved in technology generation activities until recently. The New Rices for Africa (NERICA) were developed by Africa Rice Center (WARDA) in 1994 and disseminated starting in 1997 in some Sub-Saharan African countries including Benin in collaboration with National Agricultural Partners. This paper use econometric method based on Local Average Treatment effect (LATE) to estimate the gendered impact of NERICA adoption on farmers’ yield and income. The results show that NERICA adoption has positive and significant impact on farmers’ yield and income. The impacts of NERICA adoption are higher within women farmers than within men farmers.

description: Financing smallholder farming has been one of the major concerns of Kenya’s development efforts. Many credit programs have evolved over the years but with dismal performance. In a study that sought to find the best way to fund smallholder agriculture, it became necessary to analyze and document smallholders’ effective demand for credit. Of particular interest was the comparison of the existing production plans and production plans under strictly profit maximization. Linear programming model was used to formalize observed plans and determine those under profit maximization. Both the activities and the values of outputs under different objectives were compared. Farm Investment Analysis was undertaken to determine the suitability of funding farm activities through credit. The study was undertaken in selected zones of Murang’a and Kisumu districts, being typical smallholder areas. Sample farmers were visited and structured questionnaires administered to cover farm events and physical resources of short rains 1995 and long rains 1996. This formed a basis of formulating the farm plans. Ten years down the road, objectives of smallholders have not changed as have been observed during outreach programs. The results showed that: (i) farmers’ activities in the observed plans were different from those under strictly profit maximization; (ii) the observed plans had significantly lower profit than those under profit maximization; and (iii) meeting constraints through credit was only feasible when the objective was profit maximization. Smallholder agriculture, characterized by subsistence production, does not exhibit effective demand for credit, and funding it therefore requires means other than the competitive market.

description: Feeder cattle are fattened to become fed live cattle six months later. The U.S. feeder cattle industry is intensively competitive, so that market efficiency suggests feeder cattle prices should fully reflect feed prices and information on future fed cattle prices. Employing a long time series (1979-2004) of feeder cattle futures, live cattle futures, and local corn prices, we test whether complete pass-through occurs. The results indicate that an increase of a dollar per hundred pounds in the live cattle price leads to an increase of approximately $1.48 per hundred pounds in the feeder cattle price in one month, about 93% of complete pass-through. The corresponding negative effect of a corn price increase is about 87% of complete pass-through. By contrast with agricultural land markets, the results support the hypothesis of Ricardian rent extraction by the scarce asset owner in feeder cattle markets. The results also provide evidence in favor of informational efficiency in futures markets.

description: The Phenomenologically Emergent Dark Energy model, a dark energy model with the same number of free parameters as the flat $Λ$CDM, has been proposed as a working example of a minimal model which can avoid the current cosmological tensions. A straightforward question is whether or not the inclusion of massive neutrinos and extra relativistic species may spoil such an appealing phenomenological alternative. We present the bounds on $M_ν$ and $N_{\rm eff}$ and comment on the long standing $H_0$ and $σ_8$ tensions within this cosmological framework with a wealth of cosmological observations. Interestingly, we find, at $95\%$ confidence level, and with the most complete set of cosmological observations, $M_ν\sim 0.21^{+0.15}_{-0.14}$ eV and $N_{\rm eff}= 3.03\pm 0.32$ i.e. an indication for a non-zero neutrino mass with a significance above $2σ$. The well known Hubble constant tension is considerably easened, with a significance always below the $2σ$ level.

description: An important element of resource management and conservation is an understanding of the tradeoffs between marketed products such as timber and measures of environmental quality such as biodiversity. In this paper, we develop an integrated economic – ecological spatial optimization model. The integrated model incorporates dynamic forest sector harvesting, oil and gas sector development, coarse filter or habitat based old-forest indicators, and a set of empirical forest bird models that predict bird abundance. Using our integrated model, economic tradeoff curves, or production possibility frontiers, are developed that illustrate the cost of achieving coarse filter targets by a set time (50 years) within a 100 year time horizon. We explore the production possibility frontier’s relationship to the natural range of variation of old growth habitat. Our analysis illustrates the use of ecological criteria like the natural range of variation in providing guidance for the choice of preferred location on the frontier. Keywords: Production possibility frontier, forest management, biodiversity, optimization, tradeoffs.

description: Optical coupling of two identical dielectric particles gives rise to bonding and anti-bonding resonances. The latter is featured by significant narrowing of the resonant width and strong enhancement of the $Q$ factor for the high index micron size particles in subwavelength range. We consider particles shaped as spheres and disks under coaxial illumination of dual incoherent counter propagating Bessel beams. In the case of spheres we derive analytical expressions for the optical binding (OB) force which decreases as $1/L^2$ for large distance $L$ between the spheres and displays two periods of oscillations. For close distances the OB force enormously increases in the resonant regime. The case of two coaxial disks owing to variation of the distance between disks and aspect ratio of each disk is featured by extremal enhancement of the $Q$ factor compared to the case of two spheres. In that case we demonstrate unprecedent enhancement of the OB force up to several decades of nano Newtons. We show that the magnitude and sign of the OB force strongly depend on the longitudinal wave vector of the Bessel beams.

Bioinformatic analysis of neurofibromatosis type 1 on transcriptional regulation
Creators: name: Lee, Tsz Kin Bernard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The objective of this study was to identify potential transcription factor binding sites in the human NF1 gene through phylogenetic footprinting. The 5 upstream region (5UR) and Exon 1- Intron 1 of the NF1 gene from human, mouse, rat, and pufferfish were compared and analyzed using various bioinformatic tools. Three regions that have equal or higher homology than the coding regions were discovered in the NF1 5UR, and four more very highly homologous regions were found in intron 1. Five of these highly homologous regions had transcription factor binding site predictions that were similar for the two binding site detection programs used in this study. One of the highly homologous regions within intron 1 had no shared predictions between the two transcription binding site detection programs. Another highly homologous region in intron 1 is a tetranucleotide repeated sequence. One of the highly homologous regions in the 5UR that contains several transcription factor binding site predictions spans the transcription start site. This region includes a 24bp sequence acttccggtggggtgtcatggcgg 310-333 bp upstream of the translation start that is identical in human, mouse and rat and differs by onlyl bp in Fugu. This sequence may contain the core promoter responsible for NF1 transcription initiation.

A solution to the fermion doubling problem for supersymmetric theories on the transverse lattice

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: Species doubling is a problem that infects most numerical methods that use a spatial lattice. An understanding of species doubling can be found in the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem which gives a set of conditions that require species doubling. The transverse lattice approach to solving field theories, which has at least one spatial lattice, fails one of the conditions of the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem nevertheless one still finds species doubling for the standard Lagrangian formulation of the transverse lattice. We will show that the Supersymmetric Discrete Light Cone Quantization (SDLCQ) formulation of the transverse lattice does not have species doubling.

description: The pathway toward the tailored synthesis of materials starts with precise characterization of the conformational properties and dynamics of individual molecules. Electron spin resonance based scanning tunneling microscopy can potentially address molecular structure with unprecedented resolution. Here, we determine the fine structure and geometry of an individual TiH molecule, utilizing a combination of a newly developed mK ESR-STM in a vector magnetic field and ab initio approaches. We demonstrate a strikingly large anisotropy of the g-tensor unusual for a spin doublet ground state, resulting from a non-trivial orbital angular momentum stemming from the molecular ground state. We quantify the relationship between the resultant fine structure, hindered rotational modes, and orbital excitations. Our model system provides new avenues to determine the structure and dynamics of individual molecules.

Short Note: Thermal heterogeneity in a Mediterranean pond: perspectives for the thermal biology of amphibian larvae

subject: Evolutionary biology not elsewhere classified

description: In Mediterranean climates, amphibian larvae often occupy temporary ponds where they must avoid deleterious temperatures and develop before these ponds dry out. We measured thermal heterogeneity in one of these ponds and discussed its relationship with development time and thermal tolerance in three observed species. We found large daily thermoclines that may reach 14°C and persist into the early evening. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such a large degree of thermal heterogeneity has been reported in temporary ponds. Thus, we raise hypotheses linking thermoregulation, habitat use, and growth that Mediterranean amphibian larvae, or other aquatic larvae inhabiting water bodies with strong thermoclines, might exhibit. We argue that studies on thermoregulation of larvae are badly needed to help us understand the responses of Mediterranean amphibians to global warming.

description: We present a modified local realistic model, based on instruction sets that can be used to approximately reproduce the data of the Pan et al experiment. The data of our model are closer to the results of the actual experiment by Pan et al than the predictions of their quantum mechanical model. As a consequence the experimental results can not be used to support their claim that quantum nonlocality has been proven.
