description: Classifications on the DDO system are given for an additional 231 host galaxies of supernovae that have been discovered during the course of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search with the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT). This brings the total number of hosts of supernovae discovered (or independently rediscovered) by KAIT, which have so far been classified on a homogeneous system, to 408. The probability that SNe Ia and SNe II have a different distribution of host galaxy Hubble types is found to be 99.7%. A significant difference is also found between the distributions of the host galaxies of SNe Ia and of SNe Ibc (defined here to include SNe Ib, Ib/c, and Ic). However, no significant difference is detected between the frequency distributions of the host galaxies of SNe II and SNe IIn. This suggests that SNe IIn are generally not SNe Ia embedded in circumstellar material that are masquerading as SNe II. Furthermore, no significant difference is found between the distribution of the Hubble types of the hosts of SNe Ibc and of SNe II. Additionally, SNe II-P and SNe II-L are found to occur among similar stellar populations. The ratio of the number of SNe Ia-pec to normal SNe Ia appears to be higher in early-type galaxies than it is in galaxies of later morphological types. This suggests that the ancestors of SNe Ia-pec may differ systematically in age or composition from the progenitors of normal SNe Ia. Unexpectedly, five SNe of Types Ib/c, II, and IIn (all of which are thought to have massive progenitors) are found in host galaxies that are nominally classified as types E and S0. However, in each case the galaxy classification is uncertain, or newly inspected images show evidence suggesting a later classification (abridged) ...

description: We propose a simple all-in-line single-shot scheme for diagnostics of ultrashort laser pulses, consisting of a multi-mode fiber, a nonlinear crystal and a CCD camera. The system records a 2D spatial intensity pattern, from which the pulse shape (amplitude and phase) are recovered, through a fast Deep Learning algorithm. We explore this scheme in simulations and demonstrate the recovery of ultrashort pulses, robustness to noise in measurements and to inaccuracies in the parameters of the system components. Our technique mitigates the need for commonly used iterative optimization reconstruction methods, which are usually slow and hampered by the presence of noise. These features make our concept system advantageous for real time probing of ultrafast processes and noisy conditions. Moreover, this work exemplifies that using deep learning we can unlock new types of systems for pulse recovery.

description: Joshi’s hypothesis about Greek origin of the citpāvan is based on two premises; we have seen the first : a flourishing trade between the ports on the west coast of India and the island of Socotra. The second premise is a region called Berber or Berbera in North Africa and a region with the same or a similar name on the Kōṁkaṇ coast. [Joshi, 2016 : Grīk Nāvīk Tē Pēṣvāī] The coastal regions of North Africa comprising inter alia of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, northern Mali, northern Niger, and western Egypt, on the southern coast of the Mediterranean, have been referred to as the Berber Coast or Barbary Coast, and their people Berbers. Though word is often associated with ‘barbarians’ and activities like piracy, there is no intrinsic connection; the term is probably derived from bar, Arabic for desert. Interestingly a part of the Kōṁkaṇ coast has been called Berber or Barbar in the purāṇs and other ancient texts.

description: We demonstrate the impact of choosing suites of best management practices (BMPs) to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment load in Chenier Creek water segment located within the Baouf watershed, Louisiana. Simulation outputs generated from MAPSHED are used to generate regression coefficients and marginal effects which are then used in the optimization model. Results indicated that agricultural land retirement can meet up to 35% goal in phosphorus reduction with $840132. With restriction on ag land conversion to 10% available row crop area, it was found three different BMPs can reduce up to 20% phosphorus compared to no BMP adoption scenario. This goal in reduction of phosphorus can also bring down the nitrogen and sediment pollution by 5 and 33 percents, respectively. Careful modeling of different BMPs and development of optimization model can help to meet the water quality goal in Louisiana.

description: The emission nebula M17 contains a young ~1 Myr-old open cluster; the winds from the OB stars of this cluster have blown a superbubble around the cluster. ROSAT observations of M17 detected diffuse X-ray emission peaking at the cluster and filling the superbubble interior. The young age of the cluster suggests that no supernovae have yet occurred in M17; therefore, it provides a rare opportunity to study hot gas energized solely by shocked stellar winds in a quiescent superbubble. We have analyzed the diffuse X-ray emission from M17, and compared the observed X-ray luminosity of ~2.5*10^33 ergs/s and the hot gas temperature of ~8.5*10^6 K and mass of ~1 M_Sun to model predictions. We find that bubble models with heat conduction overpredict the X-ray luminosity by two orders of magnitude; the strong magnetic fields in M17, as measured from HI Zeeman observations, have most likely inhibited heat conduction and associated mass evaporation. Bubble models without heat conduction can explain the X-ray properties of M17, but only if cold nebular gas can be dynamically mixed into the hot bubble interior and the stellar winds are clumpy with mass-loss rates reduced by a factor of >=3. Future models of the M17 superbubble must take into account the large-scale density gradient, small-scale clumpiness, and strong magnetic field in the ambient interstellar medium.

description: Empirical stellar spectral libraries have applications in both extragalactic and stellar studies, and they have an advantage over theoretical libraries because they naturally include all relevant chemical species and physical processes. During recent years we see a stream of new high quality sets of spectra, but increasing the spectral resolution and widening the wavelength coverage means resorting to multi-order echelle spectrographs. Assembling the spectra from many pieces results in lower fidelity of their shapes. We aim to offer the community a library of high signal-to-noise spectra with reliable continuum shapes. Furthermore, the using an integral field unit (IFU) alleviates the issue of slit losses. Our library was build with the MUSE (Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) IFU instrument. We obtained spectra over nearly the entire visual band (lambda~4800-9300 Ang). We assembled a library of 35 high-quality MUSE spectra for a subset of the stars from the X-shooter Spectral Library. We verified the continuum shape of these spectra with synthetic broad band colors derived from the spectra. We also report some spectral indices from the Lick system, derived from the new observations. We offer a high-fidelity set of stellar spectra that covers the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. It can be useful for both extragalactic and stellar work and demonstrates that the IFUs are excellent tools for building reliable spectral libraries.

description: Solanaceous plants produce sesquiterpenoid phytoalexins to defend themselves against a variety of pathogens. These toxic compounds are not only harmful to the pathogen but also to the plant, and thus need to be detoxified by the plant after the threat has been eliminated. We report that the detoxification of rishitin, the major phytoalexin in potato tubers and tomato fruits, is mediated by a cytochrome P450 CYP76 family enzyme via the hydroxylation of the isopropenyl group resulting in the formation of 13-hydroxyrishitin, also known as rishitin-M1. We further observed hydroxylation of the potato phytoalexins solavetivone, lubimin and oxylubimin by the same enzyme. Constitutive expression of CYP76 in Nicotiana benthamiana also led to a reduction of the non-potato phytoalexins capsidiol and its derivative capsidiol 3-acetate. We therefore annotated this enzyme as sesquiterpenoid phytoalexins hydroxylase, SPH. This broad range of substrates indicates that SPH functions as a general phytoalexin detoxification enzyme in Solanaceae, and is therefore relevant for a better understanding of plant-pathogen interaction in solanaceous plants, which comprise many economically important crops, such as potato, tomato, eggplant and pepper.
The Capital Structure of Commercial Banks and its Impact on Participation in the Farm Service Agency's Guaranteed Loan Program

description: This work presents a statistical analysis of the importance of the “Capitalization Effect” among smaller rural banks which may have more restricted access to capital for lending than agricultural banks with greater total assets. This Effect occurs when banks seek ways to leverage scarce surplus capital to increase their lending capacity. Because the terms of Farm Service Agency agricultural loan guarantees provide more unencumbered capital to banks than a conventional loan, as only 10 percent of a guaranteed loan’s value is counted toward its regulatory capital, these guarantees are expected to benefit banks with more restrictive capital limitations. A Binomial Logit Regression analysis was performed using the quarterly data of U.S. Commercial Banks and Thrifts offering agricultural loans. The dependent variable was the choice to participate (yes/no) in the FSA Guaranteed Loan Program in the quarter. The analysis found the Capitalization Effect to be statistically significant at the 90-percent confidence level for all agricultural banks. Although the magnitude of the estimated 0.021 increase in participation per 1-percent increase in the ratio of surplus capital was relatively low. This result, together with the finding the Effect was statistically significant in the opposite direction for mid-sized banks with assets between $500 million and $1 billion, suggests the Effect is strongest at small and medium community banks with up to $500 million in assets and possibly at regional banks with $1 billion to $10 billion in assets. Supplementary analyses, not included here, indicated there was not a significant Capitalization Effect at large money center banks with assets greater than $10 billion. Further testing is required to fully support these conclusions as the analysis was applied to only one quarter of data, although the sample size was large with n=5,640 institutions. Other preliminary findings include strong positive relationships between GLP participation and lower loan-making costs, portfolios heavily weighted toward real estate, both of which suggest the ability to securitize a guaranteed loan is considered valuable. In addition, there were strong relationships between the log of agricultural loan share in a portfolio, the log of total assets, and the banks’ interest margins and GLP participation.

description: In times of climate change, understanding the dependency of plant productivity on xylem hydraulic physiology is of high importance. We studied saplings of three broadleaved tree species grown under favourable and stressed conditions, and related various hydraulic traits to juvenile growth performance. Except for one species, high productivity was associated with a high hydraulic efficiency caused by large xylem vessels and a large supported leaf area. Although no safety-efficiency trade-off was observed, productivity was significantly related to xylem safety in two of the tree species but without revealing any clear pattern. Furthermore, a considerable plasticity in given traits was observed between stressed and non-stressed individuals, with safety-related traits being more static while efficiency-related traits revealed a higher intra-specific plasticity. We confirm that a high hydraulic efficiency seems to be a prerequisite for high biomass production, while our controversial results on the growth-xylem safety relationship deserve further attention.

description: Is the relationship between energy and agricultural commodities an important factor in the increasing price variability of food commodities? Findings from the literature appear to be mixed and highly influenced by the data frequency used in those analysis. A recurrent task in time series applied work is to match up data at different frequencies, while macroeconomic variables are often found at monthly or quarterly observations, financial variables are sampled daily or even at higher frequencies. In order to match up time series at different frequencies a common procedure is to aggregate the higher frequency to fit in the low frequency, this has the potential of losing valuable information, and generating misspecification. We study whether the use of mixed frequency estimations with data for the 2006-2011 period helps to improve the out of sample performance of a model that explains grain prices as a function of energy prices, macroeconomic variables such as exchange rate, interest rate, and inflation. Preliminary results suggest that an improvement is feasible, however it is tenuous beyond two months horizons.

description: The population and population composition of galaxies in galaxy clusters at present reflect the mass of the clusters and the mass growth of the galaxies in the past. We investigate them for six clusters. We show that galaxies in massive clusters stopped growing at redshifts of ~4. Moreover, we find that some small galaxy clusters (groups) have too many massive galaxies for their apparent masses. One possibility is that these groups are much more massive and in a phase just before virialization. If this is the case, they should be called `infant galaxy clusters' that will be matured clusters in the dynamical time-scale (~10^9 yrs).

description: Reliable determination of the basic physical properties of hot emission-line binaries with Roche-lobe filling secondaries is important for developing the theory of mass exchange in binaries. It is not easy, however, due to the presence of circumstellar matter. Here, we report the first detailed investigation of a new representative of this class of binaries, HD~81357, based on the analysis of spectra and photometry from several observatories. HD~81357 was found to be a double-lined spectroscopic binary and an ellipsoidal variable seen under an intermediate orbital inclination of $\sim(63\pm5)^\circ$, having an orbital period of 33\fd77445(41) and a~circular orbit. From an automated comparison of the observed and synthetic spectra, we estimate the component's effective temperatures to be 12930(540)~K and 4260(24)~K. The combined light-curve and orbital solutions, also constrained by a very accurate Gaia Data Release 2 parallax, give the following values of the basic physical properties: masses $3.36\pm0.15$ and $0.34\pm0.04$~\Mnom, radii $3.9\pm0.2$ and 13.97\pm0.05$~\Rnom, and a~mass ratio $10.0\pm0.5$. Evolutionary modelling of the system including the phase of mass transfer between the components indicated that HD~81357 is a~system observed in the final slow phase of the mass exchange after the mass-ratio reversal. Contrary to what has been seen for similar binaries like AU~Mon, no cyclic light variations were found on a~time scale an~order of magnitude longer than the orbital period. 243,1 15%

description: When quality is not observable by prospective buyers, theory predicts that the quality of marketed goods will suffer, and the volume of trade will be depressed. Using data from more than 2,000 maize samples collected in four Kenyan provinces, we show that the presence of aflatoxin, an invisible and dangerous fungal contaminant, is not reflected in maize prices but does affect how maize is used. This apparent market failure reduces the quality of maize available on the market. In addition, we show that self-produced maize is a normal good.

description: Objective. Predictive models for toxicity to Tetrahymena pyriformis are an important component of natural sciences. The present study aims to build up a predictive model for the endpoint using the so-called index of ideality correlation (IIC). Besides, the comparison of the predictive potential of these models with the predictive potential of models suggested in the literature is the task of the present study. Methods. The Monte Carlo technique is a tool to build up the predictive model applied in this study. The molecular structure is represented via a simplified molecular input-line entry system (SMILES). The Index of ideality of correlation (IIC) is a statistical characteristic sensitive to both the correlation coefficient and mean absolute error. Applying of the IIC to build up quantitative structure–activity relationships (QSARs) for the toxicity to Tetrahymena pyriformis improves the predictive potential of those models for random splits into the training set and the validation set. Results. The statistical quality of the suggested models is incredibly good for the external validation set, but the statistical quality of the models for the training set is modest. This is the paradox of ideal correlation, which is obtained with applying the IIC. Conclusion. The Monte Carlo technique is a convenient and reliable way to build up a predictive model for toxicity to Tetrahymena pyriformis. The index of ideality of correlation is a useful statistical criterion for building up predictive models as well as for the assessment of their statistical quality.

description: Using BRST-cohomological techniques, we analyze the consistent deformations of theories describing free tensor gauge fields whose symmetries are represented by Young tableaux made of two columns of equal length p, p>1. Under the assumptions of locality and Poincare invariance, we find that there is no consistent deformation of these theories that non-trivially modifies the gauge algebra and/or the gauge transformations. Adding the requirement that the deformation contains no more than two derivatives, the only possible deformation is a cosmological-constant-like term.

description: Since 2003 crop insurance programs became the focus of agricultural policy in Brazil. Given the increasing interest in insurance, accurate calculation of premium values is of great importance. We address the issue of the revenue distribution at the farm-level and its implication to the Brazilian crop insurance contract. We estimate the probability of loss by using the Skew-normal distribution of revenue in the West of Parana (South of Brazil). Results show that insurers (empirical) rates tend to underestimate the risk in the lower coverage levels (50% and 60%). At the level of 70% of coverage the Empirical Rate and the Skew-Normal Rate are similar on average.
Probing reionization with Lyman-alpha emission lines

description: Lyman-alpha emission from high-redshift galaxies may be a powerful probe of the ionization history of the IGM at z>6: the observed Lyman-alpha emission line is sensitive to the neutral fraction of IGM hydrogen in the range 0.1-1. We present calculations of observed Lyman-alpha emission lines from z>6 galaxies, illustrating the effect of varying the many free parameters associated with the emitting galaxy, its halo, and the IGM around the galaxy. In particular, we use a dynamic model of the IGM that includes the effect of IGM infall toward the emitting galaxy. Galactic winds may play a crucial role in determining observed Lyman-alpha line fluxes. We compare our model predictions with observations of two z=6.5 galaxies and conclude that, if galactic winds are allowed for, existing observations place no constraint on the neutral fraction of the IGM at z=6.5. Future space-based observations will constrain the importance of galactic winds; if winds are unimportant for the observed z=6.5 galaxies, our models suggest that the IGM neutral fraction at z=6.5 is

description: Perovskite photovoltaics has witnessed an unprecedented increase in power conversion efficiency over the last decade. The choice of transport layers, through which photo-generated electrons and holes are transported to the electrodes, is a crucial factor for further improving both the device performance and stability. In this perspective, we critically examine the application of optical spectroscopy to characterize the quality of the transport layer-perovskite interface. We highlight the power of complementary studies that use both continuous wave (cw) and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) to understand non-radiative losses, and additional transient spectroscopies for characterizing the potential for loss-less carrier extraction at the solar cell interfaces. Based on this discussion, we make recommendations on how to extrapolate results from optical measurements to assess the quality of a transport layer, and its impact on solar cell efficiency.

description: Capital inputs are by and large ignored in the study of farmland rental in previous literature. With the micro-data of rural household finance survey in year 2009, this paper empirically tests whether credit market promotes the development of farmland rental market in rural China. Results show that loans from banks promote the development of farmland rental market. Furthermore, farmers are more likely to use trade credit to alleviate credit constraints in the process of agricultural production and as a result, trade credit promotes the agricultural land rentals.

description: After the successful conclusion of the CLEO III phase, the CLEO experiment at the Cornell Electron Positron Storage Ring CESR is preparing for its transition to CLEO-c. This new program contains a wide array of Physics studies at e+ e- collisions at center of mass energies between 3 GeV and 5 GeV that will provide new insights into QCD. Because the existing Silicon Vertex Detector needed to be replaced within a short time, a 6 layer vertex drift chamber has been installed in spring 2003. At the same time, the existing Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector, along with a conventional drift chamber, E.M. calorimeter and muon chambers, will continue to be part of the experiment. The CLEO Constants Database system must provide efficient access to detector and analysis constants for a wide variety of purposes, such as hardware configuration, Online operation and monitoring, calibration, and the complete CLEO analysis framework. Since the original project, implemented through the Objectivity Object Database Management System, did not meet those requirements, the system was redesigned from the ground up, using the same technology. It is currently being introduced into the production environment without significant interruptions. In this presentation, we will outline the specifications of the constants database system, and then report on the process that led to the redesign. Performance comparisons and insights on relevant design aspects will be shown.

description: Small intestinal (SI) tumors are relatively uncommon outcomes in rodent cancer bioassays, and limited information regarding chemical-induced SI tumorigenesis has been reported in the published literature. Herein, we propose a cytotoxicity-mediated adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for SI tumors by leveraging extensive target species- and site-specific molecular, cellular, and histological mode of action (MOA) research for three reference chemicals, the fungicides captan and folpet and the transition metal hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). The gut barrier functions through highly efficient homeostatic regulation of SI epithelial cell sloughing, regenerative proliferation, and repair, which involves the replacement of up to 1011 cells per day. This dynamic turnover in the SI provides a unique local environment for a cytotoxicity mediated AOP/MOA. Upon entering the duodenum, cytotoxicity to the villous epithelium is the molecular initiating event, as indicated by crypt elongation, villous atrophy/blunting, and other morphologic changes. Over time, the regenerative capacity of the gut epithelium to compensate declines as epithelial loss accelerates, especially at higher exposures. The first key event (KE), sustained regenerative crypt proliferation/hyperplasia, requires sufficient durations, likely exceeding 6 or 12 months, due to extensive repair capacity, to create more opportunities for the second KE, spontaneous mutation/transformation, ultimately leading to proximal SI tumors. Per OECD guidance, biological plausibility, essentiality, and empirical support were assessed using modified Bradford Hill considerations. The weight-of-evidence also included a lack of induced mutations in the duodenum after up to 90 days of Cr(VI) or captan exposure. The extensive evidence for this AOP, along with the knowledge that human exposures are orders of magnitude below those associated with KEs in this AOP, supports its use for regulatory applications, including hazard identification and risk assessment.

description: The evidence on whether school quality affects house prices is uncertain. This paper employs meta-regression analysis on 48 studies to understand what factors influence the discrepancy among analogous studies. We estimate Fischer's Z transformation, ordered probit, and linear regression models to incorporate eight different school quality variables. Our results suggest the Fischer's Z model is less preferred to the ordered probit model given the entire sample of school quality measures, and to the linear regression model given a reduced sample of studies with only the primary school test score measure.

description: Solving problems related to open quantum systems has attracted many interests. Here, we propose a variational quantum algorithm to find the steady state of open quantum systems. In this algorithm, we employ parameterized quantum circuits to prepare the purification of the steady state and define the cost function based on the Lindblad master equation, which can be efficiently evaluated with quantum circuits. Then we optimize the parameters of the quantum circuit to find the steady state. Numerical simulations are performed on the one-dimensional transverses field Ising model with dissipative channels. The result showed that the fidelity between the optimal mixed state and the true steady state is over 99\%. This algorithm is derived from the natural idea of expressing mixed states with purification and provides a reference for the study of open quantum systems.

description: We present the full next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to the coefficient function for the polarized cross section $d Δσ/d Q$ of the Drell-Yan process. We study the effect of these corrections on the process $p+p\to l^+l^-+`X'$ at an C.M. energy $\sqrt{S}=200 GeV$. All QCD partonic subprocesses have been included provided the lepton pair is created by a virtual photon, which is a valid approximation for a lepton pair invariant mass $Q<50 GeV$. For this reaction the dominant subprocess is given by $q+\bar q\to γ^*+`X'$ and its higher order corrections so that it provides us with an excellent tool to measure the polarized sea-quark densities.

description: The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources has been leading to the progressive phase-out of synchronous generators, which constitute the main source of frequency stability for electric power systems. In the light of these changes, over the past years, some power systems started to exhibit an odd frequency distribution characterised by a bimodal behavior. This results in increased wear and tear of turbine governors and, in general, in degraded frequency performances. This is a cause of concern for grid operators, which have become increasingly interested in understanding the factors shaping frequency distribution. This paper explores the root causes of unwanted frequency distributions. The influence of some main aggregate system parameters on frequency distribution is detailed. The paper also shows that the implementation of the so-called synthetic inertia can lead to a robust unimodal frequency distribution.
