description: Discrete dynamic optimization is applied to examine the difference between socially and privately optimal fertilization patterns and to develop an incentive mechanism for efficient simultaneous nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loading management. The problem formulation accounts for the causal interactions between P and N fertilization, crop yield, P carry-over, and P and N loading into waterways. Our analysis shows that the balance between private and social shadow values of the P carry-over is an essential feature for the design of the input tax-subsidy scheme for both N and P. Numerical analysis carried out for spring barley on clay soils and current damage costs in Southern Finland suggests that the difference between privately and socially optimal steady-state fertilization levels is substantial. The economic losses for the producer from the tax-subsidy scheme internalizing the damage costs are in the range of 18-32% of the profits, even at simultaneously adjusted N and P fertilizer inputs. Our sensitivity analysis indicates that other abatement measures, such as catch crops, are often competitive to fertilizer input reductions. For the producer, the computed break-even level of a subsidy for catch crops is well in line with the current subsidy levels applied in Finland.

description: Empowering women is considered to affect households livelihood outcomes both directly through emphasizing expenditure for food or social aspects (health, education), and indirectly through higher adoption rates of agricultural technologies increasing productivity, thus raising on-farm food availability and agricultural income. Drawing on women s intra-household decision-making power, the possibility of all (adolescent) household members actively participating in family decisions is widely ignored or undervalued in the literature. Therefore, this article applies a new decision-making index that allows all household members to be considered in decision-making processes. It investigates how women s bargaining power influences livelihood outcomes through different pathways: (i) the direct effect is measured as impact on social expenditures; (ii) the indirect effect is measured as impact on adopting crop rotation leading to higher agricultural productivity. Using data of 378 farming households living in a 200 km radius around Hawassa town, we estimate the effects by employing Tobit and log-linear regression models. Our findings suggest that women s participation in decision-making positively influences livelihood outcomes directly, reflected in higher social expenditures; and indirectly through increasing the adoption of crop rotation practices, thus improving farm productivity. Therefore, we conclude that households with higher women empowerment are likely to achieve higher livelihood outcomes.

description: We examine the thermal infrared spectra of large dust grains of different chemical composition and mineralogy. Strong resonances in the optical properties result in detectable spectral structure even when the grain is much larger than the wavelength at which it radiates. We apply this to the thermal infrared spectra of compact amorphous and crystalline silicates. The weak resonances of amorphous silicates at 9.7 and 18 micron virtually disappear for grains larger than about 10 micron. In contrast, the strong resonances of crystalline silicates produce emission dips in the infrared spectra of large grains; these emission dips are shifted in wavelength compared to the emission peaks commonly seen in small crystalline silicate grains. We discuss the effect of a fluffy or compact grain structure on the infrared emission spectra of large grains, and apply our theory to the dust shell surrounding Vega.

description: The installation and operation distributed energy resources (DER) and the electrification of the heat supply significantly changes the interaction of the residential building stock with the grid infrastructure. Evaluating the mass deployment of DER at the national level would require analyzing millions of individual buildings, entailing significant computational burden. To overcome this, this work proposes a novel bottom-up model that consists of an aggregation algorithm to create a spatially distributed set of typical residential buildings from census data. Each typical building is then optimized with a Mixed-Integer Linear Program to derive its cost optimal technology adoption and operation, determining its changing grid load in future scenarios. The model is validated for Germany, with 200 typical buildings considered to sufficiently represent the diversity of the residential building stock. In a future scenario for 2050, photovoltaic and heat pumps are predicted to be the most economically and ecologically robust supply solutions for the different building types. Nevertheless, their electricity generation and demand temporally do not match, resulting in a doubling of the peak electricity grid load in the rural areas during the winter. The urban areas can compensate this with efficient co-generation units, which are not cost-efficient in the rural areas.

description: The supply in a market can be interpreted as a result of expectations of market participants about the behavior of other market participants and about the demand. Thus, a production decision has the character of a beauty contest problem. In addition, society s expectations may play a role in the production decision. We want to examine the decision-making behavior of farmers in three different, realistic scenarios: fungicide use, wheat production, and production of animal welfare-friendly meat. With an incentive-compatible beauty contest experiment, we show if and how farmers consider the behavior of other farmers in their own decisions. In addition, in an initial exploratory analysis, we examine the impact of different contexts and influencing factors on decision-making behavior. Initial results show that farmers take into account the behavior of other farmers, but seemingly misinterpret the other participants impact on their own outcome. Acknowledgement :

Integration region considered in the evaluation of the bound and emitted quantities produced by all points of world lines up to the end points at which particles' trajectories puncture an observation hyperplane $y^0=t$. Radiative part of the energy-momentum contains, apart from usual integrals of Larmor terms, also the sum of work done by Lorentz forces of point-like charges acting on one another. Therefore, the combination of wave motions (retarded Liénard-Wiechert solutions) leads to the interaction between the sources.

description: Motivating individual contributions to and compliance with policies designed to provide and protect public goods is a major challenge for agri-environmental program administrators. This article investigates whether and to what extent stakeholder participation via anonymous, open-ended comments in the design and formulation of agri-environmental policy may motivate individual contributions to public goods and compliance with final rules and policies. We introduce a comment mechanism into a public goods experiment both with and without an exogenous enforcement mechanism to analyze the impacts on individual behavior. Stakeholder comments are found to have a large positive effect on both individual contributions to a public good and compliance with regulatory policies conditional on the presence of complementary enforcement. Stakeholder comments also significantly impact the behavior of policymakers, leading to higher contribution rules. We link our findings to the relevance of stakeholder inclusion for agri-environmental policymaking and potential to approach Pareto Optimal outcomes.

description: We present a local earthquake tomography to illuminate the crustal and uppermost mantle structure beneath the southern Puna plateau and to test the delamination hypothesis. Vp and Vp/Vs ratios were obtained using travel time variations recorded by 75 temporary seismic stations between 2007 and 2009. In the upper crust, prominent low Vp anomalies are found beneath the main volcanic centers, indicating the presence of magma and melt beneath the southern Puna plateau. In the lowlands to the southeast of the Puna plateau, below the Sierras Pampeanas, a high Vp body is observed in the crust. Beneath the Moho at around 90 km depth, a strong high Vp anomaly is detected just west of the giant backarc Cerro Galan Ignimbrite caldera with the robustness of this feature being confirmed by multiple synthetic tests. This high velocity body can be interpreted as a delaminated block of lower crust and uppermost mantle lithosphere under the southern Puna plateau. The low velocities in the crust can be interpreted as having been induced by the delamination event that triggered the rise of fluids and melts into the crust and induced the high topography in this part of the plateau. The tomography also reveals low velocity anomalies that link arc magnetism at the Ojos del Salado volcanic center with slab seismicity clusters at depths of about 100 and 150 km and support fluid fluxing in the mantle wedge due to dehydration reaction within the subducted slab.

description: The empirical accessibility of company strategies is limited due to the lack of observability and the risk of counter-attacks by competitors. Nevertheless, companies communicate strategically relevant information, for example in the media. We use 3,832 pieces of information and suggest a mixed methods approach to learn more about the reconstruction of strategies. First, we perform a qualitative content analysis. Based on this, we are able to provide various quantitative evaluation possibilities. The dairy sector of a country serves as an example sector. On the basis of our data, we can derive various statements about the nature of the strategies pursued and the consistency of their application. Our approach offers the opportunity to test existing hypotheses of strategic research and to develop new hypotheses. Acknowledgement :

description: Based on the data of rural households in the Loess Plateau of China, this paper uses exploratory factor analysis to measure the degree of participation of farmers in collective action from the information, participation, organization and effect of action. Through Bootstrap mediation effect test, this paper tests the direct impact of land transfer area and period on farmers implementation of soil and water conservation measures, and the indirect impact of transfer area and period on the implementation of soil and water conservation measures by changing the participation of farmers in collective action. The result shows: transfer area has a direct impact on the using of terraced fields, plastic film and afforestation. The transfer period has a direct impact on the implementation of terraced fields, plastic film, afforestation and water-saving irrigation techniques. While collective action plays a mediating role in the process of transfer area affecting farmers use of terraced fields, afforestation and water-saving irrigation techniques, its mediating role in the use of plastic film is not significant. While the mediating role of collective action is significant in the transfer period affecting the implementation of terraced field and water-saving irrigation techniques, it is not significant in using plastic film and afforestation.

description: Given the lack of adequate research on Dioon spinulosum (D. spinulosum) Dyer Ex Eichler, this study was conducted focusing on different biological activities and phytochemical investigation of D. spinulosum for the first time. D. spinulosum showed strong protective activity against DNA damage and potent activity against VERO cell line. It also presented antimicrobial and hepatoprotective activity. Phytochemical investigation of the leaves resulted in isolation of two new flavonoids, apigenin 7-O-α-d-glucopyranoside (15) and amentoflavone 4'-O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (16), in addition to fifteen known compounds: phytone (1), trans-phytol (2), β-sitosterol (3), stigmasterol (4), oliveriflavone (5), 7,4′,7″,4″′-tetramethylamentoflavone (6), 7,4',7''-trimethylamentoflavone (7), scaidopitysin (8), bilobetin (9), isoginkgetin (10), aromadendrin (11), sotusflavone (12), engeletin (14) and eriocitrin (17) for the first time together with amentoflavone (13). Compounds (11) and (13) displayed very strong cytotoxic activity and showed the highest protective activity against DNA damage.
A relation between chiral central charge and ground state degeneracy in 2+1-dimensional topological orders

description: A bosonic topological order on $d$-dimensional closed space $Σ^d$ may have degenerate ground states. The space $Σ^d$ with different shapes (different metrics) form a moduli space ${\cal M}_{Σ^d}$. Thus the degenerate ground states on every point in the moduli space ${\cal M}_{Σ^d}$ form a complex vector bundle over ${\cal M}_{Σ^d}$. It was suggested that the collection of such vector bundles for $d$-dimensional closed spaces of all topologies completely characterizes the topological order. Using such a point of view, we propose a direct relation between two seemingly unrelated properties of 2+1-dimensional topological orders: (1) the chiral central charge $c$ that describes the many-body density of states for edge excitations (or more precisely the thermal Hall conductance of the edge), (2) the ground state degeneracy $D_g$ on closed genus $g$ surface. We show that $c D_g/2 \in \mathbb{Z},\ g\geq 3$ for bosonic topological orders. We explicitly checked the validity of this relation for over 140 simple topological orders. For fermionic topological orders, let $D_{g,σ}^{e}$ ($D_{g,σ}^{o}$) be the degeneracy with even (odd) number of fermions for genus-$g$ surface with spin structure $σ$. Then we have $2c D_{g,σ}^{e} \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $2c D_{g,σ}^{o} \in \mathbb{Z}$ for $g\geq 3$.

description: We study the N_f-flavor Gross-Neveu model in 2+1 dimensions with a baryon chemical potential mu, using both analytical and numerical methods. In particular, we study the self-consistent Boltzmann equation in the Fermi liquid framework using the quasiparticle interaction calculated to O(1/N_f), and find solutions for zero sound propagation for almost all mu > mu_c, the critical chemical potential for chiral symmetry restoration. Next we present results of a numerical lattice simulation, examining temporal correlation functions of mesons defined using a point-split interpolating operator, and finding evidence for phonon-like behaviour characterised by a linear dispersion relation in the long wavelength limit. We argue that our results provide the first evidence for a collective excitation in a lattice simulation.

description: Colloidal suspensions have long been studied as a model for atomic and molecular systems, due to the ability to fluorescently label and individually track each particle, yielding particle-resolved structural information. This allows various local order parameters to be probed that are otherwise inaccessible for a comparable molecular system. For phase transitions such as crystallisation, appropriate order parameters which emphasise 6-fold symmetry are a natural choice, but for vitrification the choice of order parameter is less clear cut. Previous work has highlighted the importance of icosahedral local structure as the glass transition is approached. However, counting icosahedra or related motifs is not a continuous order parameter in the same way as, for example, the bond-orientational order parameters $Q_{6}$ and $W_6$. In this work we investigate the suitability of using pentagonal bipyramid membership, a structure which can be assembled into larger, five-fold symmetric structures, as a finer order parameter to investigate the glass transition. We explore various structural and dynamic properties and show that this new approach produces many of the same findings as simple icosahedral membership, but we also find that large instantaneous displacements are often correlated with significant changes in pentagonal bipyramid membership, and unlike the population of defective icosahedra, the pentagonal bypyramid membership and spindle number do not saturate for any measured volume fraction, but continues to increase.

 Abstract : A structured procedure required to educate manufacturers of different products and assist them in enhancing quality in product production process, including training to staff for quality assurance. The approach entails an assessment of current development processes of software's and sessions of continuing technical education to educate members of the software company in processing improvement methods. The training involves a simulation session to prepare staff members. The framework should then provide value stream mapping on how the value of an enhancement is to be measured, and the work schedule, and a way and procedure for incorporating the enhancement in the value stream. The framework contains comprehensive documents, templates, and guidelines for creating some shortcuts that certain organisations will use to incorporate all of the adjustments in the same manner and is easier than ever before. As well as being a compliant development tool, the software solution involves the method of evaluating change success and introducing such enhancements. No. of Pages : 9 No. of Claims : 10

description: The Chilean experience with a clear political and structural economic break during the period 1980-2007 provides an opportunity to test the hypothesis of the stability of the Ricardian model s ability to characterize permanent relationships between land values and time-invariant factors, such as ago-ecological regions and climate. The article examines cross-section hedonic price function using rural land value data at the municipal level for four periods for which land transactions data are available, 1980, 1990, 1997 and 2007. Fundamental economic changes between 1980 and 1990 appear to have indeed altered the relationship between rural land values and their underlying determinants in the Ricardian model available for estimation. In particular, urban-related factors became more important, and, consistent with major changes in the composition of farm production, the relationship between climate and land value changed.

description: We present a newly developed cosmological hydrodynamics code based on weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws. WENO is a higher order accurate finite difference scheme designed for problems with piecewise smooth solutions containing discontinuities, and has been successfully applied for problems involving both shocks and complicated smooth solution structures. We couple hydrodynamics based on the WENO scheme with standard Poisson solver - particle-mesh (PM) algorithm for evolving the self-gravitating system. The third order low storage total variation diminishing (TVD) Runge-Kutta scheme has been used for the time integration of the system. To test accuracy and convergence rate of the code, we subject it to a number of typical tests including the Sod shock tube in multidimensions, the Sedov blast wave and formation of the Zeldovich pancake. These tests validate the WENO hydrodynamics with fast convergence rate and high accuracy. We also evolve a low density flat cosmological model ($Λ$CDM) to explore the validity of the code in practical simulations.

description: The yielding ability and stability and adaptability of eight proso millet varieties from Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang and Hebei were analyzed and evaluated in different ecological regions including Zhangjiakou, Huanghua and Shijiazhuang in 2015. The results showed that Chishu No.2 and Jishu No.2 have stronger yielding ability, and their grain yields were 3 144.42 (highest) and 3 133.15 kg/ha respectively, ranking first and second in the test varieties. In areas with low fertility, especially in saline-alkali areas, they still have potential for high yields, so they are suitable for promotion in large areas in Hebei Province. Neimi No.8 and Yanshu No.11 showed special adaptability under different ecological conditions. They require high-fertility soil and can be planted in the spring millet area in north of Hebei.

description: We consider a scenario in which the baryon asymmetry was created in the early universe during a cold electroweak transition. The spinodal instability of the Higgs field caused by a rapid change of sign of its effective mass-squared parameter induces tachyonic preheating. We study the development of Chern-Simons number in this transition by numerical lattice simulations of the SU(2)-Higgs model with an added effective CP-violating term. A net asymmetry is produced, and we study its dependence on the size of CP violation and the ratio of Higgs to W mass.

description: We propose a new learning-based approach for 3D particle field imaging using holography. Our approach uses a U-net architecture incorporating residual connections, Swish activation, hologram preprocessing, and transfer learning to cope with challenges arising in particle holograms where accurate measurement of individual particles is crucial. Assessments on both synthetic and experimental holograms demonstrate a significant improvement in particle extraction rate, localization accuracy and speed compared to prior methods over a wide range of particle concentrations, including highly-dense concentrations where other methods are unsuitable. Our approach can be potentially extended to other types of computational imaging tasks with similar features.

description: Many experiments have shown that the conductance histograms of metallic atomic-sized contacts exhibit a peak structure, which is characteristic of the corresponding material. The origin of these peaks still remains as an open problem. In order to shed some light on this issue, we present a theoretical analysis of the conductance histograms of Au atomic contacts. We have combined classical molecular dynamics simulations of the breaking of nanocontacts with conductance calculations based on a tight-binding model. This combination gives us access to crucial information such as contact geometries, forces, minimum cross-section, total conductance and transmission coefficients of the individual conduction channels. The ensemble of our results suggests that the low temperature Au conductance histograms are a consequence of a subtle interplay between mechanical and electrical properties of these nanocontacts. At variance with other suggestions in the literature, our results indicate that the peaks in the Au conductance histograms are not a simple consequence of conductance quantization or the existence of exceptionally stable radii. We show that the main peak in the histogram close to one quantum of conductance is due to the formation of single-atom contacts and chains of gold atoms. Moreover, we present a detailed comparison with experimental results on Au atomic contacts where the individual channel transmissions have been determined.

The non-existence of universal Carmichael numbers

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)

description: We show that universal elliptic Carmichael numbers do not exist, answering a question of Silverman. Moreover, we show that the probability that an integer $n$, which is not a prime power, is an elliptic Carmichael number for a random curve $E$ with good reduction modulo $n$, is bounded above by $\mathcal{O}(\log^{-1} n)$. If we choose both $n$ and $E$ at random, the probability that $n$ is $E$-carmichael is bounded above by $\mathcal{O}(n^{-1/8+ε})$.

Multi-spin strings on AdS(5)xT(1,1) and operators of N=1 superconformal theory
Creators: name: Kim, Nakwoo

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study rotating strings with multiple spins in the background of $AdS_5\times T^{1,1}$, which is dual to a $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal field theory with global symmetry $SU(2)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ via the AdS/CFT correspondence. We analyse the limiting behaviour of macroscopic strings and discuss the identification of the dual operators and how their anomalous dimensions should behave as the global charges vary. A class of string solutions we find are dual to operators in SU(2) subsector, and our result implies that the one-loop planar dilatation operator restricted to the SU(2) subsector should be equivalent to the hamiltonian of the integrable Heisenberg spin chain.

description: The student-oriented concept is a kind of people orientation. It emphasizes respect and support for students. It is student-centered, and is for all students. At the school level, the guiding principles of student orientation and respecting teachers and teaching must be adhered to, and corresponding reforms in the school's system, policies and environment needs to be carried out. At the university teacher level, the concept of student orientation must be adhered to in teaching, and it is regarded as the guiding concept of teaching and education and is implemented in classroom teaching and practical teaching. At the level of college administrator, the concept of student orientation must be adhered in the course of daily management and service to do better management, service and education work. In order to better implement the student-oriented concept and promote the growth and development of college students, we needs to build a mentor team for college students' growth based on political workers, establish a team of academic tutors for college students based on professional teachers and build a platform for cooperation between schools and enterprises. The innovative training mode can promote students to grow into talents.

subject: Agricultural and forestry colleges and universities, Innovation of moral education mode, New period

description: The moral quality of students in agricultural and forestry colleges and universities in the new period has a positive mainstream tendency, but at the same time there are some unavoidable problems. The instrumentalization of traditional moral education mode, mechanical preaching and the characteristics of knowledge education are the important reasons for the emergence of problems. The agricultural and forestry colleges and universities must realize the transformation and innovation of moral education mode, reshape the main position of moral education of college students, rebuild the core value of moral education which pays close attention to the growth of individual life, and reconstruct the way of realization of moral education in colleges and universities.

description: Very recently, novel quasiparticles beyond those mimicking the elementary high-energy particles such as Dirac and Weyl fermions have attracted great interest in condensed matter physics and materials science1-9. Here we report the first experimental observation of the long-desired quadratic Weyl points10 by using a three-dimensional chiral metacrystal of sound waves. Markedly different from the newly observed unconventional quasiparticles5-9, such as the spin-1 Weyl points and the charge-2 Dirac points that are featured respectively with threefold and fourfold band crossings, the charge-2 Weyl points identified here are simply twofold degenerate, and the dispersions around them are quadratic in two directions and linear in the third one10. Besides the essential nonlinear bulk dispersions, we further unveil the exotic double-helicoid surface arcs that emanate from a projected quadratic Weyl point and terminate at two projected conventional Weyl points through Fourier transformation of the scanned surface fields. This unique global surface connectivity provides conclusive evidence for the double topological charges of such unconventional topological nodes.
