description: Globally, governments initiate various programmes to address income poverty among rural farmers. However, studies that focus on the impact of such programmes on farmers’ income are either scanty or non-existent, especially in developing countries, including Nigeria. Therefore, this study examines the impact of Community-Based Agriculture and Rural Development Project (CBARDP) in Kwara State, Nigeria. Data were obtained from 120 respondents comprising 60 benefi ciaries and 60 non-benefi ciaries of the programme. Descriptive statistics and double-diff erence estimator were used for the data analysis. The study showed that there was 46.3% increase in the income of the benefi ciaries while the non-benefi ciaries had just 7.4% increase. The study further revealed that there was a positive income diff erence of N151.27 in favour of the benefi ciaries of the project. However, the constraints to deriving a full impact of the programme by the benefi ciaries were: lack of commitment by the facilitators, lack of technical know-how, poor transportation system and inadequacy of the equipment provided. The study therefore recommends policies aimed at overhauling the activities of the facilitators, improving the technical skill of the benefi ciaries, improving the transportation system and providing the benefi ciaries with more equipment.

call priority

description: The goal of the AQUARIUS project is to provide Transnational Access (TA) to a wide range of research infrastructures to support high-impact and coordinated research in oceanic, coastal and freshwater ecosystems. AQUARIUS combines several different types of research infrastructures together for coordinated access and aims to analyse in advance the key research questions and challenges that can be supported by research projects that combine such research infrastructures. This planning requires a discussion of priorities and their definition, which are the main research subjects to be supported and how to ensure a link with other key European objectives.This document (Deliverable 3.1) outlines the priorities which will be the focus for the AQUARIUS Transnational Access Calls.

description: The aim of the paper was to present the situation of the main cereals' producers in EU in 1991-2014. Cereals area, yields and production volume, as well as production structures and policy implications of the production were analysed. The results show that the production in the EU was increasing in the discussed period. At the same time the market intervention level decreased and the sector underwent the processes of concentration. Despite of the structural positive changes, both the structure and productivity of the cereals-producing farms situated in central European countries has stayed disadvantageous compared to UE15. More favourable production structures, thus higher productivity of EU15 farms, will determine their market competitiveness. However, the countries with lower yields may also increase their production, taking into consideration the expected price rise and growing demand for cereals.

description: Over-segmentation into superpixels is a very effective dimensionality reduction strategy, enabling fast dense image processing. The main issue of this approach is the inherent irregularity of the image decomposition compared to standard hierarchical multi-resolution schemes, especially when searching for similar neighboring patterns. Several works have attempted to overcome this issue by taking into account the region irregularity into their comparison model. Nevertheless, they remain sub-optimal to provide robust and accurate superpixel neighborhood descriptors, since they only compute features within each region, poorly capturing contour information at superpixel borders. In this work, we address these limitations by introducing the dual superpatch, a novel superpixel neighborhood descriptor. This structure contains features computed in reduced superpixel regions, as well as at the interfaces of multiple superpixels to explicitly capture contour structure information. A fast multi-scale non-local matching framework is also introduced for the search of similar descriptors at different resolution levels in an image dataset. The proposed dual superpatch enables to more accurately capture similar structured patterns at different scales, and we demonstrate the robustness and performance of this new strategy on matching and supervised labeling applications.

description: We present a simple theory that uses thermodynamic parameters to predict the probability that a protein retains the wildtype structure after one or more random amino acid substitutions. Our theory predicts that for large numbers of substitutions the probability that a protein retains its structure will decline exponentially with the number of substitutions, with the severity of this decline determined by properties of the structure. Our theory also predicts that a protein can gain extra robustness to the first few substitutions by increasing its thermodynamic stability. We validate our theory with simulations on lattice protein models and by showing that it quantitatively predicts previously published experimental measurements on subtilisin and our own measurements on variants of TEM1 beta-lactamase. Our work unifies observations about the clustering of functional proteins in sequence space, and provides a basis for interpreting the response of proteins to substitutions in protein engineering applications.

The calculations are performed with the plaquette, Iwasaki and DBW2 gauge actions. The heavy quark mass and domain-wall height dependence is investigated. We point out that the exact chiral symmetry held by the lattice light quark action leads to an exact relation between the improvement coefficients for the vector and axial-vector currents without regard to the lattice heavy quark action.

description: The majority of the studies on the integrated vendor-buyer inventory problem assume that the shipments are equal. In this paper, shipments are considered to be nonequal. Both demand and delivery times are also assumed to be stochastic. Moreover, unsatisfied demand can be backordered and lost, and a service level constraint is considered. The objective is to minimize both buyer and vendor costs at the same time. The problem is solved by an exact heuristic algorithm. To validate performance of the algorithm, the results are compared with those of the LINGO solver. Finally, a set of numerical problems are applied to compare the results in the integrated and independent forms.

description: Rigidity percolation (RP) is the emergence of mechanical stability in networks. Motivated by the experimentally observed fractal nature of materials like colloidal gels and disordered fiber networks, we study RP in a fractal network. Specifically, we calculate the critical packing fractions of site-diluted lattices of Sierpiński gaskets (SG's) with varying degrees of fractal iteration. Our results suggest that although the correlation length exponent and fractal dimension of the RP of these lattices are identical to that of the regular triangular lattice, the critical volume fraction is dramatically lower due to the fractal nature of the network. Furthermore, we develop a simplified model for an SG lattice based on the fragility analysis of a single SG. This simplified model provides an upper bound for the critical packing fractions of the full fractal lattice, and this upper bound is strictly obeyed by the disorder averaged RP threshold of the fractal lattices. Our results characterize rigidity in ultra-low-density fractal networks.

description: The synchronous and metachronous occurrence of multiple primary cancers in a single patient is an exceptionally uncommon phenomenon. However, owing to the continual advancements in diagnostic techniques, these instances are systematically classified based on the timing of their manifestation. Synchronous cases manifest within six months of the diagnosis of the preceding neoplasm, while metachronous cases emerge with an interval of more than six months between occurrences. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman who was being treated for infiltrating ductal carcinoma. The patient underwent a right mastectomy and lymph node dissection. Two months later, the patient complained of heavy menstrual bleeding, which revealed endometrial adenocarcinoma. However, a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed, along with chemotherapy. Seven months later, the patient presented with a right axillary mass. Histopathological analysis revealed to be small lymphocytic lymphoma, positive for CD5 and CD23, negative for CD3 and cyclin D1, with no evidence of breast cancer. She received chemotherapy and was treated with rituximab for 2 years. After 18 months, she developed chronic lymphocytic leukemia. She received chemotherapy with bendamustine and rituximab for 6 cycles. Currently, the last PET scan, after completing her treatment, showed no metabolic activity. The management of this condition represents an interesting clinical scenario. The choice of which tumor to treat initially and how to schedule additional treatments based on each patient's tumor risk are also essential considerations. This process must involve multidisciplinary physician team to ensure favorable outcomes.

description: In the oil supply chain, the refined petroleum products are transported by various transportation modes, such as rail, road, vessel and pipeline. The latter provides one of the safest and cheapest ways to connect production areas to local markets. This paper addresses the operational scheduling of a multiproduct tree-like pipeline connecting several refineries to multiple distribution centers under demand uncertainty. A new deterministic mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is first presented, and then a two-stage stochastic model is proposed. The aim of this model is to meet depot requirements at the minimum total cost including pumping and stoppages costs. The efficiency and utility of the proposed model is shown by two numerical examples, which one of them uses the industrial and real data.

description: The aim of the study was to present the diversity and conditions of companies’ liquidity in the Polish furniture industry. In the analysis, the statistical data, CSO, 2006–2013 for the furniture manufacturing enterprise sector (Chapter 31 manufacturing, PKD 2007) was used. The carried out analysis showed that the furniture industry companies in Poland in the years 2006–2013 in general had the ability to meet their current liabilities. Current and quick liquidity developed for them on a stable and positive level, coinciding with the recommendations of the theory of fi nance. However, from the working capital cycle’s point of view, the assessment of liquidity furniture manufacturing sector is clearly less favourable, and it results from relatively long collecting dues cycles ranging close to 60 days. The less favourable assessment comes from the fact that the long collecting dues cycles have eff ects on exceeding duration of the recovery measures’ applications, which in turn, may turn into a build-up of the payment backlogs, and thus into reductions of the ability to fi nance business and into the risk of production’s reduction

description: The main aim of this article is to identify the selected factors shaping the reproduction processes of farms conducting agricultural accountancy (FADN). It has been recognized that the higher indicator of reproduction, in the analysed groups, is accompanied by greater resources of land, labour and capital. The reproduction processes are dependent on the business outlook conditions, but resource factors are relatively independent of them. There is a diverse range of processes of reproduction between the various components of assets. The relatively high level of reproduction of assets in the case of machinery and transportation equipment, and for building substance remains at a very low level. Education of head of households has also diversifi ed the scale of reproduction processes. The favourable factor in this area was a higher level of education, and its agricultural profi le.

description: In this article we examined the proliferation and rapid development of domestic agriculture integrated structures of holding type. We analyzed the impact of these entities on the overall functioning of the agricultural sector, rural development and the environment. We found premise overconcentration the agricultural production and land resources, namely the formation of a new system of technological and economic relationships between agrarian producers and processors; changing principles of relations between industrial enterprises and corporations with a common institutional system of the state; change the ownership structure of the agricultural sector; restructuring of production, which allows you to consolidate investment funds; the concentration distribution of agroindustrial production through various technological and organizational forms (specialization, diversification, combining horizontal and vertical integration). We based the comparison of alternative viewpoints relation to production overconcentration concluded based on this combination of high performance indicators of individual branches of domestic agriculture with increased dependence on imported processed food products, environmental impacts of modern agricultural production. In this article we scientifically grounded suggestions for future development of integrated structures and the concentration of resources in the context of economic, environmental and social orientation of their production activities.

description: The existing unconditional security definitions of quantum key distribution (QKD) do not apply to joint attacks over QKD and the subsequent use of the resulting key. In this paper, we close this potential security gap by using a universal composability theorem for the quantum setting. We first derive a composable security definition for QKD. We then prove that the usual security definition of QKD still implies the composable security definition. Thus, a key produced in any QKD protocol that is unconditionally secure in the usual definition can indeed be safely used, a property of QKD that is hitherto unproven. We propose two other useful sufficient conditions for composability. As a simple application of our result, we show that keys generated by repeated runs of QKD degrade slowly.

description: We introduce a new concept of statistical solution in the framework of weak solutions to the barotropic Navier--Stokes system with inhomogeneous boundary conditions. Statistical solution is a family $\{ M_t \}_{t \geq 0}$ of Markov operators on the set of probability measures $\mathfrak{P}[\mathcal{D}]$ on the data space $\mathcal{D}$ containing the initial data $[\varrho_0, \mathbf{m}_0]$ and the boundary data $\mathbf{d}_B$. (1) $\{ M_t \}_{t \geq 0}$ possesses a.a. semigroup property, $ M_{t + s}(ν) = M_t \circ M_s(ν)$ for any $t \geq 0$, a.a. $s \geq 0$, and any $ν\in \mathfrak{P}[\mathcal{D}]$. (2) $\{ M_t \}_{t \geq 0}$ is deterministic when restricted to deterministic data, specifically $ M_t(δ_{[\varrho_0, \mathbf{m}_0, \mathbf{d}_B]}) = δ_{[\varrho(t, \cdot), \mathbf{m}(t, \cdot), \mathbf{d}_B]}, $ where $[\varrho, \mathbf{m}]$ is a finite energy weak solution of the Navier--Stokes system corresponding to the data $[\varrho_0, \mathbf{m}_0, \mathbf{d}_B] \in \mathcal{D}$. (3) $M_t: \mathfrak{P}[\mathcal{D}] \to \mathfrak{P}[\mathcal{D}]$ is continuous in a suitable Bregman--Wasserstein metric at measures supported by the data giving rise to regular solutions.

description: Hemodialysis, as an extra-renal purification technique, carries an inherent infectious risk. This study aimed to assess the infection risk associated with hygiene practices around hemodialysis patients in a hospital setting. This study employed Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to evaluate risks. A comprehensive visit was conducted at the hemodialysis unit of the nephrology department at Sahloul University Hospital of Sousse on a single day. The visit comprised a documentary inventory, premises observation, professional and patient interviews, and observation of professional practices to comprehensively understand infectious risk during patient care. The study identified seventeen failure modes during a hemodialysis session, categorized into six of level 1 criticality, four of level 2, and seven of level 3. The most critical failure modes included the improper handling and distribution of multi-dose heparin into single-dose injections in an unspecific area, as well as the absence of a 4-stage skin preparation for the puncture site. Proposed corrective measures to mitigate infectious risk were outlined. The FMEA approach effectively identified potential risks, necessitated a review of certain procedures, and proposed matrices to manage the most critical risks. This analysis, when conducted periodically, facilitates a genuine quality-focused approach, enhancing patient satisfaction and bolstering all stakeholders' confidence within the hemodialysis center.

description: We present accurate mid-infrared observations of the disk around the young, bona-fide brown dwarf CFHT-BD-Tau 4. We report GEMINI/T-ReCS measurements in the 7.9, 10.4 and 12.3 micron filters, from which we infer the presence of a prominent, broad silicate emission feature. The shape of the silicate feature is dominated by emission from 2 micron amorphous olivine grains. Such grains, being an order of magnitude larger than those in the interstellar medium, are a first proof of dust processing and grain growth in disks around brown dwarfs. The object's spectral energy distribution is below the prediction of the classical flared disk model but higher than that of the two-layer flat disk. A good match can be achieved by using an intermediate disk model with strongly reduced but non-zero flaring. Grain growth and dust settling processes provide a natural explanation for this disk geometry and we argue that such intermediate flaring might explain the observations of several other brown dwarf disks as well.

title: Using Lunar Apatite to Assess the Volatile Inventory of the Lunar Interior
Creators: name: Potts, Nicola Jane
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Recent in situ measurements of volatiles (H2O, Cl, F) within lunar melt inclusions, glass beads, and the mineral apatite have challenged the previously held notion that the Moon is depleted in volatiles. As the most widespread volatile-bearing phase, apatite has been the focus of many studies aiming to constrain the volatile inventory of the lunar interior. The thermodynamics of volatile partitioning into apatite, however, are poorly constrained. Here, Apollo mare basalts were investigated to provide an accurate composition for which apatite is found to crystallize under lunar conditions. This composition was used high temperature, high pressure experiments which constrained volatile partitioning between apatite and silicate melt. Combining experiments from this study, and those of the literature, an empirical model was developed to back-calculate melt volatile contents, at the time of apatite formation. Conservative estimates and preliminary findings suggest the amount volatiles in the at the time of apatite crystallization is highly variable but ranges up to 3.6 wt.% H2O, 5 wt.% F and 5.3 wt.% Cl. One of the reasons volatiles contents, in apatite and melt, vary so much is likely a result of degassing, as apatite is a late-stage mineral formed after ~95% melt solidification. Degassing, under lunar conditions, utilizing low-Ti and high-Ti compositions was constrained experimentally. The results from this investigation suggest that degassing is melt composition dependant and, as such, requires a thorough investigation of late-stage melt pockets to determine the amount of degassing that may occur prior to apatite growth. In addition, vapor-phase interaction was found to also alter volatile contents and δ37Cl isotope signatures in apatites from Apollo 14 samples. This vapor-phase is thought to be from volatile-release during a major impact event, similar to other old (sim4 Ga) samples found on the lunar nearside. To constrain whether this process was a global phenomenon samples from regions previously unexplored (including the lunar farside) are required. A mission scenario, optimising sample return from Schödinger basin is proposed here where volcanics and potentially mantle material could be collected. These samples would provide key insight into indigenous lunar mantle volatile contents and global differentiation processes.

description: The purpose of this research paper is the formation of a practical definition of capital. The article explored historical interpretation of the concept of capital as an object of accounting, defined as the aggregate capital potential of the enterprise, that represents an accounting form their own sources of enterprises proved his capacity for self-expansion. The science of the capital develops in the context of changes historical epochs, the evolution of society and global economy, the emergence and spread of new methods. Analyzing the economically proved opinions and has already existing positions, we offer supplement the most objective definition of capital, given its theoretical justification of the most effective practical implementation. Taking into consideration the views of scientists and economic approach by output equations we have found that it is possible differently to interpret the concept of capital, but with the main components and process ownership. The accounting this aspect of capital – the difference between total assets of the company and its obligations backed by legal, that the sources of these assets. Received scientific results form the foundation carrying out further scientific studies.

On analytical construction of observable functions in extended dynamic mode decomposition for nonlinear estimation and prediction

description: We propose an analytical construction of observable functions in the extended dynamic mode decomposition (EDMD) algorithm. EDMD is a numerical method for approximating the spectral properties of the Koopman operator. The choice of observable functions is fundamental for the application of EDMD to nonlinear problems arising in systems and control. Existing methods either start from a set of dictionary functions and look for the subset that best fits the underlying nonlinear dynamics or they rely on machine learning algorithms to "learn" observable functions. Conversely, in this paper, we start from the dynamical system model and lift it through the Lie derivatives, rendering it into a polynomial form. This proposed transformation into a polynomial form is exact, and it provides an adequate set of observable functions. The strength of the proposed approach is its applicability to a broader class of nonlinear dynamical systems, particularly those with nonpolynomial functions and compositions thereof. Moreover, it retains the physical interpretability of the underlying dynamical system and can be readily integrated into existing numerical libraries. The proposed approach is illustrated with an application to electric power systems. The modeled system consists of a single generator connected to an infinite bus, where nonlinear terms include sine and cosine functions. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedure in off-attractor nonlinear dynamics for estimation and prediction; the observable functions obtained from the proposed construction outperform methods that use dictionary functions comprising monomials or radial basis functions.
