description: Many national governments around the world applied export restrictions for achieving domestic market stabilization during the 2007/8 world food price crisis. However, current literature says little about how these export restrictions interact with existing domestic support measures in jointly determining domestic market outcomes. This paper analyzes this interaction by providing a quantitative assessment on how increased spending on agricultural domestic support in China offset the negative effects on grain production caused by the country‟s export restrictions and how these two types of measures jointly moderated rises of domestic grain prices. In particular, domestic and trade measures on key agricultural inputs such as fertilizers are shown to contribute significantly to expand grain outputs and reduce domestic market prices. While the short term goal in stabilizing domestic grain prices was achieved through these measures, large fiscal and efficiency costs were incurred, especially considering how the short term export restrictions seemingly necessitated the extra spending on input based domestic subsidies.

description: We have built an 80-mega pixels (10240 X 8192) mosaic CCD camera, called Suprime-Cam, for the wide-field prime focus of the 8.2 m Subaru telescope. Suprime-Cam covers a field of view 34' X 27', a unique facility among the the 8-10 m class telescopes, with a resolution of 0.''202 per pixel. The focal plane consists of ten high-resistivity 2k X 4k CCDs developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory, which are cooled by a large stirling-cycle cooler. The CCD readout electronics was designed to be scalable, which allows the multiple read-out of tens of CCDs. It takes 50 seconds to readout entire arrays. We designed a filter-exchange mechanism of the jukebox type that can hold up to ten large filters (205 X 170 X 15 mm^3). The wide-field corrector is basically a three-lens Wynne-type, but has a new type of atmospheric dispersion corrector. The corrector provides a flat focal plane and an un-vignetted field of view of 30' in diameter. The achieved co-planarity of the focal array mosaic is smaller than 30 micron peak-to-peak, which realizes mostly the seeing limited image over the entire field. The median seeing in the Ic-band, measured over one year and a half, is 0.''61. The PSF anisotropy in Suprime-Cam images, estimated by stellar ellipticities, is about 2% under this median seeing condition. At the time of commissioning, Suprime-Cam had the largest survey speed, which is defined as the field of view multiplied by the primary mirror area of the telescope, among those cameras built for sub-arcsecond imaging.

description: Isotopic effects observed in fragmentation reactions induced by protons, deuterons, and alpha particles of incident energies between 660 MeV and 15.3 GeV on 112-Sn and 124-Sn targets are discussed. The exponential scaling of the yield ratios with the third component of the fragment isospin (N-Z)/2 is observed in all reactions, with scaling parameters that depend on the incident energy. Breakup temperatures for these reactions are deduced from double ratios of isotopic yields and tested for their relation with the isoscaling parameters. The quantum statistical (QSM) and the statistical multifragmentation (SMM) models are used for interpreting the results. The observed isoscaling can be understood as a consequence of a statistical origin of the emitted fragments in these reactions. The SMM analysis shows that the exponent describing the isoscaling behavior is proportional to the strength of the symmetry term of the fragment binding energy. Using this result, a symmetry-term coefficient (approximately 22.5 MeV) for fragments at breakup is deduced from the experimental data. This is close to the standard value and supports SMM assumptions for the breakup configuration. An alternative method of determining the symmetry-energy coefficient, by using isotope distribution widths, is also discussed.

description: We quantitatively analyze the meson mass inequality relations of two dimensional gauged four fermi models in the large N limit. The class of models we study includes the 't Hooft model, the chiral and non-chiral Gross-Neveu models as special points in the space of field theories. Cases where the chiral symmetry is spontaneously or explicitly broken are both studied. We study the meson mass inequality quantitatively and define a susceptibility which allows us to systematically analyze the inequality. In the generalized Gross-Neveu model limit, we derive an analytic expression for this susceptibility. Even though no analytic proof of the validity of the classic mass inequality exists for the generic case, the mass inequality is found to be positive throughout most of the parameter space. We point out that the inequality might be negative in certain cases.

description: We consider the physics reach at the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) using the timing capability of a minimum ionizing particle (MIP) timing layer and the electromagnetic calorimeter in the CMS experiment for a simplified right-handed neutrino effective theory. In the simplified model, the lightest right-handed neutrinos are produced through higgs decay with mean decay lengths of order $\mathcal{O}(0.1~{\rm m}-100~{\rm m}$) and then subsequently decay into final states that include electrons. We consider the effect of several different kinematic cuts for a timing based analysis of this model. We demonstrate that if timing information can be successfully incorporated into the event trigger, it is possible to probe the higgs branching ratio to two right-handed neutrinos to the order $\mathcal{O}(10^{-5}) $ for a range of different right-handed neutrino lifetimes.

description: Hadron spectra from the first year RHIC run are shown to be excellently reproduced by hydrodynamic calculations. We argue that in particular the elliptic flow data provide strong evidence for early thermalization at RHIC, at energy densities well above deconfinement, but that the phenomenologically extracted short thermalization time scale of less than 1 fm/c provides a serious challenge for theory. The HBT radii from the hydrodynamic calculations agree only qualitatively with the data, showing significant quantitative discrepancies. It is argued that this points to a still incomplete understanding of the freeze-out process at RHIC.

description: We may infer a transition $|n \rangle \to |m \rangle$ between energy eigenstates of an open quantum system by observing the emission of a photon of Bohr frequency $ω_{mn} = (E_n-E_m) / \hbar$. In addition to the "collapses" to the state $|m\rangle$, the measurement must also have brought into existence the pre-measurement state $|n \rangle$. As quantum trajectories are based on past observations, the condition state will jump to $| m \rangle$, but the state $|n\rangle$ does not feature in any essential way. We resolve this paradox by looking at quantum smoothing and derive the time-symmetric model for quantum jumps.

description: The paper deals with the determinants of labour out-migration from agriculture across 149 EU regions over the 1990-2008 period. The central aim is to shed light on the role played by CAP payments on this important adjustment process. Using static and dynamic panel data estimators, we show that standard neo-classic drivers, like the relative income and the relative labour share, represent significant determinants of the inter-sectoral migration of agricultural labour. Overall, CAP payments contributed significantly to job creation in agriculture, although the magnitude of the economic effect was quite moderate. We also found that Pillar I subsidies exerted an effect approximately two times greater than that of Pillar II payments

description: We present the first physical model for the non-spherical intra-cluster gas distribution in hydrostatic equilibrium under the gravity of triaxial dark matter halos. Adopting the concentric triaxial density profiles of the dark halos with constant axis ratios proposed by Jing & Suto (2002), we derive an analytical expression for the triaxial halo potential on the basis of the perturbation theory, and find the hydrostatic solutions for the gas density and temperature profiles both in isothermal and polytropic equations of state. The resulting iso-potential surfaces are well approximated by triaxial ellipsoids with the eccentricities dependent on the radial distance. We also find a formula for the eccentricity ratio between the intra-cluster gas and the underlying dark halo. Our results allow one to determine the shapes of the underlying dark halos from the observed intra-cluster gas through the X-ray and/or the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects clusters.

description: The Gleason score is the most important prognostic marker for prostate cancer patients but suffers from significant inter-observer variability. We developed a fully automated deep learning system to grade prostate biopsies. The system was developed using 5834 biopsies from 1243 patients. A semi-automatic labeling technique was used to circumvent the need for full manual annotation by pathologists. The developed system achieved a high agreement with the reference standard. In a separate observer experiment, the deep learning system outperformed 10 out of 15 pathologists. The system has the potential to improve prostate cancer prognostics by acting as a first or second reader.

 Distribution. New records: Queensland (Swain Reefs, QM G305809). The new record confirms that the species is a common component of the West Pacific ascidian fauna (see Kott, 1990a). Larvae are present in the newly recorded specimens (collected in July).
 Remarks. Podoclavella detorta: Kott, 1957b (BM 1956. 5.2.19) has been re-examined. The specimens are long, narrow, horny stems up to 5 cm long, containing the long oesophageal neck and the slightly expanded distal part of the abdomen. They are joined to one another at their base by short stolons. However, the thoraces have disintegrated, and it was not possible to confirm Kott’s (1957b) description. Apart from the reported four rows of stigmata and longer and horny stalks, these specimens are like P. detorta. At this stage the significance of the reported differences is not known.
 Clavelina auracea Monniot, 1997a is also similar to P. detorta, except for ferilization of the eggs in a brood pouch at the postero-dorsal corner of the abdomen, five (rather than six) rows of stigmata, and the larvae. Although they lack the usual frontal plate of Clavelina larvae, the larval adhesive organs are not inverted tubes as in Pycnoclavellidae. Monniot (1997a) has not described the cerebral vesicle and it is not clear if an otolith is present or not. The affinities of this species are problematical, although the fertilization of eggs at the posterior end of the thorax suggests that it is closer to Clavelina than to Pycnoclavella.

description: Modern medical technologies that address pressing social and demographic problems in the field of reproduction are successfully introduced by researchers, whose focus is on improving technology and women's health. At the same time, the results of studying the health status of children conceived using assisted reproductive technologies are few and contradictory. An analysis of data of domestic and foreign publications for the period from 1993 to 2020 on short-term and long-term observations of the state of health of children conceived by in vitro fertilization is presented. There was a slight lag in psychomotor development in the first year of life in such children and an increase in the number of congenital defects. Catamnestic information on the rates of growth, development and functioning of individual systems is insufficient.
Key words: assisted reproductive technologies, in vitro fertilization, health outcomes, children.

description: Recent experiments have confirmed the existence of rotational bands in the A \~ 110 mass region with very extended shapes lying between super- and hyper-deformation. Using the projected shell model, we make a first attempt to describe quantitatively such a band structure in 108Cd. Excellent agreement is achieved in the dynamic moment of inertia J(2) calculation. This allows us to suggest the spin values for the energy levels, which are experimentally unknown. It is found that at this large deformation, the sharply down-sloping orbitals in the proton i_{13/2} subshell are responsible for the irregularity in the experimental J(2), and the wave functions of the observed states have a dominant component of two-quasiparticles from these orbitals. Measurement of transition quadrupole moments and g-factors will test these findings, and thus can provide a deeper understanding of the band structure at very extended shapes.

description: A Markovian process of a system is defined classically as a process in which the future state of the system is fully determined by only its present state, not by its previous history. There have been several measures of non-Markovianity to quantify the degrees of non-Markovian effect in a process of an open quantum system based on information backflow from the environment to the system. However, the condition for the witness of the system information backflow does not coincide with the classical definition of a Markovian process. Recently, a new measure with a condition that coincides with the classical definition in the relevant limit has been proposed. Here, we focus on the new definition (measure) for quantum non-Markovian processes, and characterize the Markovian condition as a quantum process that has no information backflow through the reduced environment state (IBTRES) and no system-environment correlation effect (SECE). The action of IBTRES produces non-Markovian effects by flowing the information of quantum operations performed by an experimenter at earlier times back to the system through the environment, while the SECE can produce non-Markovian effect without carrying any earlier quantum operation information. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for no IBTRES and no SECE, respectively, and show that a process is Markovian if and only if it has no IBTRES and no SECE. The quantitative measures and algorithms for calculating non-Markovianity, IBTRES and soly-SECE are explicitly presented.

description: Factor markets are a central issue in analyses of farm development and of agricultural sector vitality. Among the different production factors, land is one of the most studied. Several studies seek to estimate the effect of government policy payments on land value or land rental prices. The studies mostly agree that government payments and other types of policy support are significant in explaining land prices and account for a large share of them. In October 2011, the European Commission published a new policy proposal for the common agricultural policy (CAP) up to 2020. The proposed regulation includes a shift from historical to regional payments. The objective of this paper is to provide an ex ante analysis of the impact of the new CAP policy instruments on the land market. In particular, the effect of the regionalisation of payments in Italy is examined. The analysis is based on the use of a mathematical programming model to simulate the changes in land demand for a farm in Emilia Romagna. The results highlight the relevance of the new policy mechanism in determining a change in land demand. Yet the effect is highly dependent on initial ownership of entitlements under the historical payment scheme.

description: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recognizes that IUDs and implants are a safe and effective contraceptive option for patients right after delivery. It is also a method that many women want. This research brief reports on a recent study in which obstetrician/gynecologist Cristina Wallace, along with PRC faculty research associates Kristine Hopkins and Joseph E. Potter, analyzed who was offered and who received these long-acting contraception (LARC) methods before discharge among 199 women who delivered a baby in a Texas safety net hospital. They found that 52% of the women were offered an immediate postpartum LARC method and that, among those who got the method before leaving the hospital, satisfaction and continuation of the methods was high. However, Spanish-speaking Hispanic women were less likely to be offered the method, perhaps due to limited use of interpretation services during contraceptive counseling. They argue for the importance of health care providers to present the full range of contraceptive options throughout pregnancy to all women to help them come to a patient-centered decision on their contraceptive method of choice.

description: We present 2.9-4.1 micron integral field spectroscopy of the L4+L4 brown dwarf binary HD 130948BC, obtained with the Arizona Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (ALES) mode of the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI). The HD 130948 system is a hierarchical triple system, in which the G2V primary is joined by two co-orbiting brown dwarfs. By combining the age of the system with the dynamical masses and luminosities of the substellar companions, we can test evolutionary models of cool brown dwarfs and extra-solar giant planets. Previous near-infrared studies suggest a disagreement between HD 130948BC luminosities and those derived from evolutionary models. We obtained spatially-resolved, low-resolution (R~20) L-band spectra of HD 130948B and C to extend the wavelength coverage into the thermal infrared. Jointly using JHK photometry and ALES L-band spectra for HD 130948BC, we derive atmospheric parameters that are consistent with parameters derived from evolutionary models. We leverage the consistency of these atmospheric quantities to favor a younger age (0.50 \pm 0.07 Gyr) of the system compared to the older age (0.79 \pm 0.22 Gyr) determined with gyrochronology in order to address the luminosity discrepancy.

description: Synchronisation is a collective phenomenon widely investigated in classical oscillators and, more recently, in quantum systems. However, it remains unclear what features distinguish synchronous behaviour in these two scenarios. Recent works have shown that investigating the dynamics of synchronisation in open quantum systems can give insight into this issue. Here we study transient synchronisation in a bio-inspired vibronic dimer, where the dynamics of electronic excitation is mediated by coherent interactions with intramolecular vibrational modes. We show that the synchronisation dynamics of the displacement of these local modes exhibit a rich behaviour which arises directly from the distinct time-evolutions of different vibronic quantum coherences. Furthermore, our study shows that coherent energy transport in this bio-inspired system is concomitant with the emergence of positive synchronisation between mode displacements. Our work provides further understanding of the relations between quantum coherence and synchronisation in open quantum systems and suggests an interesting role for coherence in biomolecules, that is promoting the synchronisation of vibrational motions driven out of thermal equilibrium.

description: A natural origin for the mu and B parameters of weak scale supersymmetric theories is proposed, applicable to any supersymmetry breaking messenger scale between the weak and Planck scales. Although quite general, it requires supersymmetric interactions to respect an R symmetry with definite quantum numbers, and it requires some new scale of symmetry breaking. The required R symmetry distinguishes the Higgs boson from the sneutrino, preserves baryon number in operators of dimension four and five, and contains R parity so that the lightest superpartner is stable. This origin for mu works for a variety of mediation mechanisms, including gauge mediation, gaugino mediation, and boundary condition breaking of supersymmetry. In any of these mediation schemes, our mechanism leads to a real B parameter, and the supersymmetric CP problem is solved. This R symmetry may naturally arise from supersymmetric theories in higher dimensions.

description: We study elastic shear waves of small but finite amplitude, composed of an anti-plane shear motion and a general in-plane motion. We use a multiple scales expansion to derive an asymptotic system of coupled nonlinear equations describing their propagation in all isotropic incompressible non-linear elastic solids, generalizing the scalar Zabolotskaya equation of compressible nonlinear elasticity. We show that for a general isotropic incompressible solid, the coupling between anti-plane and in-plane motions cannot be undone and thus conclude that linear polarization is impossible for general nonlinear two-dimensional shear waves. We then use the equations to study the evolution of a nonlinear Gaussian beam in a soft solid: we show that a pure (linearly polarised) shear beam source generates only odd harmonics, but that introducing a slight in-plane noise in the source signal leads to a second harmonic, of the same magnitude as the fifth harmonic, a phenomenon recently observed experimentally. Finally, we present examples of some special shear motions with linear polarisation.

 Distribution. New records: Queensland (Moreton Bay, Hanlon Light).
 Description. The colony has short branched fleshy stalks arising from common basal test. Each branch terminates in a rounded head with zooids in a row each side of the longitudinal canals that converge to the terminal common cloacal aperture. The zooids are contracted and not in good condition. Some vegetative zooids are present at the top of each stalk but details of their structure were not determined.
 Remarks. The species has been reported once from Gladstone (see Kott, 1990a), although more records are from locations between Spencer Gulf, d’Entrecasteaux Channel and Bass Strait. Differences between these southern Australian populations and the Queensland ones have not yet been established.

Orbital Decay and Tidal Disruption of a Star Cluster: Analytical Calculation

description: The orbital decay and tidal disruption of a star cluster in a galaxy is studied in an analytical manner. Owing to dynamical friction, the star cluster spirals in toward the center of the galaxy. Simultaneously, the galactic tidal field strips stars from the outskirts of the star cluster. Under an assumption that the star cluster undergoes a self-similar evolution, we obtain the condition and timescale for the star cluster to reach the galaxy center before its disruption. The result is used to discuss the fate of so-called intermediate-mass black holes with >10^3 M(sun) found recently in young star clusters of starburst galaxies and also the mass function of globular clusters in galaxies.

description: We identify a class of chiral models where the one-loop effective potential for Higgs scalar fields is finite without any requirement of supersymmetry. It corresponds to the case where the Higgs fields are identified with the components of a gauge field along compactified extra dimensions. We present a six dimensional model with gauge group U(3)xU(3) and quarks and leptons accomodated in fundamental and bi-fundamental representations. The model can be embedded in a D-brane configuration of type I string theory and, upon compactification on a T^2/Z_2 orbifold, it gives rise to the standard model with two Higgs doublets.

description: Image theatre is an approach based on the Theatre of the Oppressed, and was originally designed to explore socio-political power dynamics. The image theatre scripts for Vital are designed to be used as a tool to explore the dynamics of power and agency in our relationships to food, including each other and non-humans. The scripts should be used in sequence with a group of 4+, with discussions facilitated by the workshop leader. All Participant Actor parts should be interpreted non-verbally, so that acting is portrayed through body positions alone, and not through spoken language. This is more congruent with the variety of roles in the scripts, and brings to the fore the importance of embodied knowledge in social interactions and relationship building.
Bacteria push the limits of chemotactic precision to navigate dynamic chemical gradients

description: Ephemeral aggregations of bacteria are ubiquitous in the environment, where they serve as hotbeds of metabolic activity, nutrient cycling, and horizontal gene transfer. In many cases, these regions of high bacterial concentration are thought to form when motile cells use chemotaxis to navigate to chemical hotspots. However, what governs the dynamics of bacterial aggregations is unclear. Here, we use a novel experimental platform to create realistic sub-millimeter scale nutrient pulses with controlled nutrient concentrations. By combining experiments, mathematical theory and agent-based simulations, we show that individual \textit{Vibrio ordalii} bacteria begin chemotaxis toward hotspots of dissolved organic matter (DOM) when the magnitude of the chemical gradient rises sufficiently far above the sensory noise that is generated by stochastic encounters with chemoattractant molecules. Each DOM hotspot is surrounded by a dynamic ring of chemotaxing cells, which congregate in regions of high DOM concentration before dispersing as DOM diffuses and gradients become too noisy for cells to respond to. We demonstrate that \textit{V. ordalii} operates close to the theoretical limits on chemotactic precision. Numerical simulations of chemotactic bacteria, in which molecule counting noise is explicitly taken into account, point at a tradeoff between nutrient acquisition and the cost of chemotactic precision. More generally, our results illustrate how limits on sensory precision can be used to understand the location, spatial extent, and lifespan of bacterial behavioral responses in ecologically relevant environments.

description: A detailed study of the effect of the $η$-nucleus final state interaction (FSI) in the $p d \to ^3$He$ η$ reaction close to threshold is presented. The FSI is incorporated through a T-matrix for $η^3$He elastic scattering, constructed using few body equations. This T-matrix accounts for off-shell and binding effects in $η$-nucleus scattering. The energy dependence of the data on the $p d \to ^3$He$ η$ reaction near threshold is reproduced only after including the FSI. The off-shell and binding effects in $η^3$He scattering are found to be important. Given the uncertainty in the knowledge of the elementary $η$-nucleon interaction, the sensitivity of the $ p d \to ^3$He$ η$ cross section to different prescriptions of the elementary t-matrix, $t_{ηN \to ηN}$ is also discussed.
