description: The objective of this paper is to explore the potential of the real options approach for analyzing farmers’ choice to switch from conventional to organic farming. Understanding the determinants of this decision is relevant in particular for agricultural policy makers when predicting the response of farmers to supporting programs. An econometric model is applied to aggregated data of conventional and organic farms in Germany and Austria. The empirical analysis confirms the reluctance to adopt organic farming due to option-like effects. We conclude that the incentives for an adoption of organic farming have to be increased if a higher share of this production type is desired.

description: An econometric model for Finnish agriculture is built as a part of the AGMEMOD project, a joint endeavour by several European research institutes. The AG-MEMOD modelling framework provides a unified approach to the specification, estimation, and simulation of the national-level commodity markets. The projection and policy simulations presented in this paper demonstrate that the Finnish country model is able to catch the essentials of the behavioural relationships underlying the specialised nature of each commodity market. Furthermore, the model is well adapted for inclusion into a framework of multi-country model of the whole EU.
Sub-band picture of high-harmonic generation in solids

description: We propose a novel picture of high-harmonic generation (HHG) in solids based on the concept of temporally changing band structures. To demonstrate the utility of this picture, we focus on the high-order sideband generation (HSG) caused by strong terahertz (THz) and weak near-infrared (NIR) light in the context of pump-probe spectroscopy. We find that the NIR frequency dependence of the HSG indicates the existence of new energy levels (sub-bands) around the band-gap energy, which have multiple frequencies of THz light. This sub-band picture explains why the HSG intensity becomes a non-monotonic function of the THz light amplitude. The present analysis not only reveals the origin of the plateau structure in HHG spectra, but also provides a connection to other high-field phenomena.

description: FARMIS is a comparative-static process-analytical programming model based on FADN data for the German agricultural sector. Recent developments cover the areas of the modelling of land, premia and quota markets, and the creation of a generic model design and structure which allow the use of different databases such as the EU FADN. The impact on the German agricultural sector of 2003 CAP Reform is analysed for both the Single Farm Payment (SFP) and the national implementation (Regional Model: RM). The analysis shows that the impacts of both decoupling schemes on factor allocation and corresponding supply are similar, but differ with respect to income effects. The rental prices of milk quota decrease in both scenarios. While land prices are predicted to decrease under the SFP, in the case of the RM rental prices for grassland increase significantly.

description: We study a model of inflation based on $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity essentially depending on one effective parameter. Under a field transformation we show that this model turns out to be equivalent to a previously studied supergravity model known to be ruled out with the original choice of the parameter. Such parameter measures the slope of the potential at observable scales. Through a Bayesian parameter estimation, it is shown how this model is compatible with recent CMB temperature measurements by {\it Planck 2018} giving rise to a simple, viable, single field model of inflation. The tensor to scalar ratio constraint is found to be $r_{0.002}<0.065$ with negative running. We discuss how observables are invariant under the field transformation which leaves unaltered the slow-roll parameters. As a consequence the use of one presentation of the model or its field-transformed version is purely a matter of convenience.

description: We have investigated the atomistic structure of the 180-degree and 90-degree domain boundaries in the ferroelectric perovskite compound PbTiO3 using a first-principles ultrasoft-pseudopotential approach. For each case we have computed the position, thickness and creation energy of the domain walls, and an estimate of the barrier height for their motion has been obtained. We find both kinds of domain walls to be very narrow with a similar width of the order of one to two lattice constants. The energy of the 90-dergree domain wall is calculated to be 35 mJ/m^2, about a factor of four lower than the energy of its 180-degree counterpart, and only a miniscule barrier for its motion is found. As a surprising feature we detected a small offset of 0.15-0.2 eV in the electrostatic potential across the 90-degree domain wall.

description: Large scale electronic structure calculations require modern high performance computing (HPC) resources and, as important, mature HPC applications that can make efficient use of those. Real-space grid-based applications of Density Functional Theory (DFT) using the Projector Augmented Wave method (PAW) can give the same accuracy as DFT codes relying on a plane wave basis set but exhibit an improved scalability on distributed memory machines. The projection operations of the PAW Hamiltonian are known to be the performance critical part due to their limitation by the available memory bandwidth. We investigate on the utility of a 3D factorizable basis of Hermite functions for the localized PAW projector functions which allows to reduce the bandwidth requirements for the grid representation of the projector functions in projection operations. Additional on-the-fly sampling of the 1D basis functions eliminates the memory transfer almost entirely. For an quantitative assessment of the expected memory bandwidth savings we show performance results of a first implementation on GPUs. Finally, we suggest a PAW generation scheme adjusted to the analytically given projector functions.

description: We calculate the fluxes and energy spectra of high-energy (E > 50 GeV) neutrinos from the annihilations of supermassive (10^8 GeV < M < 10^16 GeV), strongly interacting dark matter particles in the core of the Sun. We take all significant aspects of neutrino propagation through matter into account, as well as oscillations in matter and vacuum. We also calculate the resulting event rates in an idealized 1 km^3 ice detector. We find that the signal should be well above background and easily observed by next-generation neutrino detectors such as IceCube.

description: The selective transport of trivalent rare earth metals from aqueous to organic environments with the help of amphiphilic "extractants" is an industrially important process. When the amphiphilic extractant is positively charged or neutral, the coextracted background anions are not only necessary for charge balance but also have a large impact on extraction efficiency and selectivity. In particular, the opposite selectivity trends observed throughout the lanthanide series in the presence of nitrate and thiocyanate ions have not been explained. To understand the role of background anions in the phase transfer of lanthanide cations, we use a positively charged long-chain aliphatic molecule, modeling a common extractant, and gain molecular level insight into interfacial headgroup-anion interactions. By combining surface sensitive sum frequency generation spectroscopy with X-ray reflectivity and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, we observed qualitative differences in the orientational and overall interfacial structure of nitrate and thiocyanate solutions at a positively charged Langmuir monolayer. Though nitrate adsorbs without dramatic changes to the solvation structure at the interface or the monolayer ordering, thiocyanate significantly alters the water structure and reduces monolayer ordering. We suggest that these qualitatively different adsorption trends help explain a reversal in system selectivity toward lighter or heavier lanthanides in solvent extraction systems in the presence of nitrate or thiocyanate anions.

description: This research focuses on the estimation of labour supply equations for Dutch dairy farmers. Off-farm labour supply is characterised by the fact that only half of the farm households supply off-farm labour. This results in a sample selection estimation problem that has to be taken into account in estimation. In this research we use the panel data sample selection estimation method of Wooldridge (1995) to estimate the off-farm labour supply equation. Simulation results suggest that the decoupledness assumption of direct income paymenst in CAP reform might hold. At least there is a negligible effect through labour supply.

The results are compared with the ones that assume no cosmological constant and the flat, dark matter dominated Universe. We include thermal processes and non-equilibrium chemical evolution of the collapsing gas. We find that direct formation of bound objects with such masses by $z=8$ is unlikely so in fact they may form only through fragmentation of greater objects. This is in stark contrast to the $Ω=1$ pure CDM cosmology, where low-mass objects form abundantly at redshits $z>10$.

description: India has more than 215 million food insecure people, many of whom are farmers. Genetically modified (GM) crops have the potential to alleviate this problem by increasing food supplies and strengthening farmer livelihoods. For this to occur, two factors are critical: (1) a change in the regulatory status of GM crops, and (2) consumer acceptance of GM foods. There are generally two classifications of GM crops based on how they are bred: cisgenically-bred, derived from sexually compatible organisms, and transgenically-bred, derived from sexually incompatible organisms. Consumers may view cisgenic foods as more natural than those produced via transgenesis, thus influencing consumer acceptance. This premise was the catalyst for our study—would Indian consumers accept cisgenically-bred rice and if so, how would they value cisgenics compared to conventionally-bred rice, GM-labeled rice, and “no fungicide” rice? In this willingness-to-pay study, respondents did not view cisgenic and GM rice differently. However, participants were willing-to-pay a premium for any aforementioned rice with a “no fungicide” attribute, which cisgenics and GM could provide. Lastly, 76% and 73% of respondents stated a willingness-to-consume GM and cisgenic foods, respectively.

description: Identity preservation (IP) refers to a system of production, handling and marketing practices that maintains the integrity of and purity of agricultural commodities. Products segregation plays a key role in IP, but an IP system is more demanding, namely due to testing requirements. Labelling regulation for GM containing or derived food and feed in EU, as well as some food manufacturers’ prerequisite of GM-free raw materials, prompted new developments of IP systems that are now part of the modus operandi of major supply chains. A research on the Portuguese maize bread supply chain, a minor maize supply chain in value but large due to the myriad of actors it involves, was conducted in order to understand if and how GM labelling regulation is accomplished. Direct interviews to several stakeholders along the maize bread supply chain evidenced a large heterogeneity in awareness and performance of GM-labeling rules. But results also reflected heterogeneity in awareness and performance regarding other traits, including traits envisaged by Codex Standards or traits associated to traditional maize bread, as it is the case of flint type varieties and, moreover, the IP of maize landraces, traditionally grown for bread making and that are still grown by some farmers. Altogether these results encouraged a comprehensive discussion of implementation of IP systems and suggest that isolating non-GM maize IP and its costs from the comprehensive IP system of each supply chain might be misleading.

description: We report the first observation of the exclusive decay process B->J/psi K1(1270) using a sample of 11.2M BBbar meson pairs collected in the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e+e- collider. We measure branching fractions of Bf(B0 -> J/psi K10(1270) = (1.30 +-0.34 +-0.31)x10^-3 and Bf(B+ -> J/psi K1+(1270) = (1.80 +-0.34 +-0.39)x10-3, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. These modes constitute approximately 15% of the total number of B -> J/psiX decays. No evidence is seen for B -> J/psi K1(1400) and we set an upper limit on this branching fraction. The K1(1270) -> K0pi+pi- decays have a substantial K0rho0 intermediate state component that may be useful for CP violation studies.

The possibility of $^{14}$C cluster as a building block of medium mass nuclei

description: The possibility of the $^{14}$C cluster being a basic building block of medium mass nuclei is discussed. Although $α$ cluster structures have been widely discussed in the light $N\approx Z$ mass region, the neutron to proton ratio deviates from unity in the nuclei near $β$-stability line and in neutron-rich nuclei. Thus, more neutron-rich objects with $N>Z$ could become the building blocks of cluster structures in such nuclei. The $^{14}$C nucleus is strongly bound and can be regarded as such a candidate. In addition, the path to the lowest shell-model configuration at short relative distances is closed for the $^{14}$C+$^{14}$C structure contrary to the case of the $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C structure; this allows to keep appreciable separation distance between the $^{14}$C clusters. The recent development of antisymmetrized quasi-cluster model (AQCM) allows us to utilize $jj$-coupling shell model wave function for each cluster in a simplified way. The AQCM results for the $^{14}$C+$^{14}$C structure in $^{28}$Mg are compared with the ones of cranked relativistic mean field (CRMF) calculations. Although theoretical frameworks of these two models are quite different, they give similar results for the nucleonic densities and rotational properties of the structure under investigation. The existence of linear chain three $^{14}$C cluster structure in $^{42}$Ar has also been predicted in AQCM. These results confirm the role of the $^{14}$C cluster as a possible building block of cluster structures in medium mass nuclei.

description: The Directive 2001/18/EC regulates the deliberate release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the environment. According to Article 31 (3) of this Directive EU Member States shall establish location registers recording the locations of GMOs grown for monitoring purposes and information of the public. As a partner within the EU-project PRICE, the German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety developed a GIS-based location register (GLOREG) for GMOs, adaptable to the different requirements of the EU member states. Using a questionnaire the BVL asked the Competent Authorities of EU and non-EU countries in Europe for (i) detailed background information of their current location registers and (ii) their expectations on the functionality of location registers. This information should put us in the position to develop a location register, which is adaptable to the demands of EU-Member States (MS). Most MS already implemented the Directive into national law, even if they do not perform any deliberate release or cultivation of GMOs in their country. The Competent Authorities distinguish between deliberate release (mostly ‘experiments’) and cultivation of GMOs within their national regulations and notification rules. National regulations also vary regarding the organization of cadastral data in the agrarian landscape. GLOREG considers these differences with modular structure, which can be maintained, expanded or modified in its existing functionality according to the different demands. The modules are designed for language, customizable data, geo data, service purpose, authorization purposes, and farmer verification. We used open source software systems, libraries or frameworks for all components of the application. It provides an interface to its data via web service and can be installed on established operating systems. The user interface of GLOREG is web based and can be adapted to the corporate identity of the appropriate agency or organization. Four different clients with different access rights interacting with the user interface were defined exemplarily. For protection against unauthorized access these different clients got different certificates. A web feature service of GLOREG provides an INSPIRE conform access to the spatial information to cover the requirements of Directive 2007/2/EC (INSPIRE).

description: We present observations and models of the behaviour of the HI and HeI lines between 1.6 and 2.2um in a small sample of compact HII regions. As in our previous papers on planetary nebulae, we find that the `pure' 1.7007um 4^3D-3^3P and 2.16475um 7^(3,1)G-4^(3,1)F HeI recombination lines behave approximately as expected as the effective temperature of the central exciting star(s) increases. However, the 2.058um 2^1P-2^1S HeI line does not behave as the model predicts, or as seen in planetary nebulae. Both models and planetary nebulae showed a decrease in the HeI 2^1P-2^1S/HI Br gamma ratio above an effective temperature of 40000K. The compact HII regions do not show any such decrease. The problem with this line ratio is probably due to the fact that the photoionisation model does not account correctly for the high densities seen in these HII regions, and that we are therefore seeing more collisional excitation of the 2^1P level than the model predicts. It may also reflect some deeper problem in the assumed model stellar atmospheres. In any event, although the normal HeI recombination lines can be used to place constraints on the temperature of the hottest star present, the HeI 2^1P-2^1S/HI Br gamma ratio should not be used for this purpose in either Galactic HII regions or in starburst galaxies, and conclusions from previous work using this ratio should be regarded with extreme caution. We also show that the combination of the near infrared `pure' recombination line ratios with mid-infrared forbidden line data provides a good discriminant of the form of the far ultraviolet spectral energy distribution of the exciting star(s). From this we conclude that CoStar models are a poor match to the available data for our sources, though the more recent WM-basic models are a better fit.

description: Aims: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated maternal apelin levels in pregnant women with and without GDM. Secondary outcomes were glucose- and lipid-related results.Methods: Databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, LILACS, CNKI, and Wang Fang were searched. The methodological quality of included studies was evaluated with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Mean differences (MDs) or standardized MDs (SMDs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were evaluated. Random effect model analyses were carried out and heterogeneity with the I2 and Tau2 statistics.Results: Fourteen observational studies (sample size: 1033 women with GDM and 1053 for control women) with a low or moderate risk of bias were included in the analysis. During the second half of pregnancy, maternal apelin estimate was significantly higher in women with GDM (SMD = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.03 to 1.25), as well as insulin (SMD = 1.41% CI: 0.84 to 1.99), glucose (SMD = 1.56; 95% CI 1.20 to 1.91), glycated hemoglobin (SMD = 1.11, 95% CI: 0.69 to 1.54), HOMA-IR (MD = 2.25; 95%CI: 1.51 to 2.98), BMI (MD = 0.80 kg/m2, 95%CI: 0.52 to 1.08), total cholesterol (SMD = 0.42, 0.12 to 0.73), LDL-cholesterol (SMD = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.23 to 1.02), and triglycerides (SMD = 0.40, 95%CI: 0.19 to 0.61) as compared to control women. There was heterogeneity between studies as evidence by high I2 values. Meta-regression analysis indicated statistically significant regression coefficients for age of women, glucose and total cholesterol.Conclusions: GDM was associated with increased circulating apelin, insulin, glucose, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol levels, and HOMA-IR index.

description: The Transient High-Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is a mission concept developed in the last years by a large European consortium and currently under study by the European Space Agency (ESA) as one of the three candidates for next M5 mission (launch in 2032). THESEUS aims at exploiting high-redshift GRBs for getting unique clues to the early Universe and, being an unprecedentedly powerful machine for the detection, accurate location (down to arcsec) and redshift determination of all types of GRBs (long, short, high-z, under-luminous, ultra-long) and many other classes of transient sources and phenomena, at providing a substantial contribution to multi-messenger time-domain astrophysics. Under these respects, THESEUS will show a strong synergy with the large observing facilities of the future, like E-ELT, TMT, SKA, CTA, ATHENA, in the electromagnetic domain, as well as with next-generation gravitational-waves and neutrino detectors, thus greatly enhancing their scientific return.

Plataformas audiovisuales y diversidad: mucho (y muchas) más que Netflix

description: Paper presented at the VII Congreso Internacional de la AE-IC, Valencia, Spain, 28-30 October, 2020.

Partiendo de clarificar el concepto de plataforma en relación con los de servicio audiovisual y diversidad, este trabajo ofrece un retrato de los proveedores que comercializan en España servicios audiovisuales de pago bajo demanda over the top. El objetivo es clasificarlos en función de su perfil empresarial y evolución histórica. Dicho retrato se organiza esencialmente alrededor de tres dimensiones que responden a las preguntas de quién ofrece el servicio, qué se pone a disposición y cómo se financia. Se concluye que: a) las plataformas originadas en España evidencian una clara atomización empresarial, marcada también por la inestabilidad, ya que el sector está dominado por proveedores vinculados a los GAFAM o a corporaciones mundiales de medios y entretenimiento (además de Netflix); b) las plataformas compiten con catálogos generalistas por públicos masivos y amplios o bien se especializan fundamentalmente en obras cinematográficas o documentales que persiguen la segmentación de espectadores por temas, formatos o géneros; y c) los modelos de negocio se decantan por las fórmulas TVoD o SVoD, con muy pocas combinaciones alternativas. Para finalizar se reflexiona sobre el impacto que las plataformas estudiadas tienen para la diversidad de las industrias audiovisuales en España.
The phase diagram of a two-dimensional dirty tilted Dirac semimetal

description: We investigate the effects of quenched disorder on a non-interacting tilted Dirac semimetal in two dimensions. Depending on the magnitude of the tilting parameter, the system can have either Fermi points (type-I) or Fermi lines (type-II). In general, there are three different types of disorders for Dirac fermions in two dimensions, namely, the random scalar potential, the random vector potentials along and perpendicular to the tilting direction, and the random mass. We study the effects of weak disorder in terms of the renormalization group, which is performed by integrating out the modes with large energies, instead of large momenta. Since the parametrization of the low-energy degrees of freedom depends on the structure of the Fermi surface, the resulting one-loop renormalization-group equations depend on the type of tilted Dirac fermions. Whenever the disorder is a marginal perturbation, we examine its role on low-energy physics by a mean-field approximation of the replica field theory or the first-order Born approximation. Based on our analysis, we suggest the phase diagrams of a two-dimensional tilted Dirac fermion in the presence of different types of disorder.

description: The existence of supersymmetric D0-branes at an arbitrary distance from a flux 5-brane is proven. The physical picture in type IIA is consistent with the Kaluza-Klein reduction origin of the flux 5-brane. An analysis of the fluctuations around these vacua is performed and the backreaction of the D0-branes computed. Non-threshold D0-D2 bound states and similar stabilization mechanisms for D2-branes in such backgrounds are also briefly discussed.

description: Purpose: Speech recognition in complex listening environments is enhanced by the extent of spatial separation between the speech source and background competing sources, an effect known as spatial release from masking (SRM). The aim of this study was to investigate whether the phase-locked neural activity in the central auditory pathways, reflected in the frequency following response (FFR), exhibits SRM.Method: Eighteen normal-hearing adults (8 men and 10 women, ranging in age from 20 to 42 years) with no known neurological disorders participated in this study. FFRs were recorded from the participants in response to a target vowel /u/ presented with spatially colocated and separated competing talkers at 3 ranges of signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), with median SNRs of −5.4, 0.5, and 6.8 dB and for different attentional conditions (attention and no attention).Results: Amplitude of the FFR at the fundamental frequency was significantly larger in the spatially separated condition as compared to the colocated condition for only the lowest (< −2.4 dB SNR) of the 3 SNR ranges tested. A significant effect of attention was found when subjects were actively focusing on the target stimuli. No significant interaction effects were found between spatial separation and attention.Conclusions: The enhanced representation of the target stimulus in the separated condition suggests that the temporal pattern of phase-locked brainstem neural activity generating the FFR may contain information relevant to the binaural processes underlying SRM but only in challenging listening environments. Attention may modulate FFR fundamental frequency amplitude but does not seem to modulate spatial processing at the level of generating the FFR.

description: We present a neutrino oscillation analysis of two particular data sets from the Daya Bay and RENO reactor neutrino experiments aiming to study the increase in precision in the oscillation parameters $\sin^2{2θ}_{13}$ and the effective mass splitting $Δm^2_{ee}$ gained by combining two relatively simple to reproduce analyses available in the literature. For Daya Bay the data from 217 days between December 2011 and July 2012 were used. For RENO we used the data from 500 live days between August 2011 and January 2012. We reproduce reasonably well the results of the individual analyses, both, rate-only and spectral, defining a suitable $χ^2$ statistic for each case. Finally, we performed a combined spectral analysis and extract tighter constraints on the parameters, with an improved precision between 30-40\% with respect of the individual analyses considered.
