description: The Economist first launched the concept of the Big Mac Index in 1986 as a guide to whether currencies were at their correct exchange rate; it is not intended to be a precise predictor of currency movements around the globe, but simply a way to make exchange-rate theory and discussions a bit more digestible. First used as a humorous illustration, the term “burgernomics” was coined and the Big Mac index became an annual occurrence. It is based upon one of the oldest concepts in international economics – the theory of purchasing-power parity, which argues that the exchange rate between two currencies should in the long run move towards the rate that equalizes the prices of identical bundles of traded goods and services in each country. In other words, a dollar should buy the same amount everywhere. The reason the Big Mac Index is a better representation of world currencies is because McDonald’s Big Mac is made and distributed in over 120 countries on six continents. McDonald’s Big Mac is produced to more or less the same recipe in those countries, so the Big Mac Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) is an exchange rate that would leave hamburgers costing the same in each country, including the United States. The index can, however, be distorted by the local input costs and costs of transportation and distribution. An undergraduate course, Food and Fiber Marketing, in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Georgia is attended by students enrolled in many other disciplines and colleges than the agricultural economics field. Trying to engage their different learning styles and experiences to develop interactions between the students and the instructor requires some imaginative activities. Since they all seem to enjoy eating fast food, even if not a Big Mac, using the concept of the hamburger as a common currency intrigues them. Comparing the Big Mac PPP with the actual rates signals if a currency is under- or over-valued, which provides an application to the exchange rate and trade discussions without worrying about fluctuating currency/exchange rates. For instance, after its massive currency devaluation a decade ago, Argentina had the cheapest Big Mac at 78¢, while Switzerland had the most expensive Big Mac at $3.81, against the average American price of $2.49; the Argentine peso was the most undervalued currency at the time and the Swiss franc the most overvalued

description: Platoons, vehicles that travel very close together acting as one, promise to improve road usage on freeways and city roads alike. We study platoon formation in the context of same-day delivery in urban environments. Multiple self-interested logistic service providers (LSP) carry out same-day deliveries by deploying autonomous electric vehicles that are capable of forming and traveling in platoons. The novel aspect that we consider in our research is heterogeneity of platoons in the sense that vehicles are equipped with different capabilities and constraints, and belong to different providers. Our aim is to examine how these platoons can form and their potential properties and benefits. We present a platoon forming and routing algorithm, called PFaRA, that finds longest common routes for multiple vehicles, while also respecting vehicle preferences and constraints. PFaRA consists of two parts, a speed clustering step and a linear optimisation step. To test the approach, a simulation was used, working with realistic urban network data and background traffic models. Our results showed that the performance of our approach is comparable to a simple route-matching one, but it leads to better utility values for vehicles and by extension the LSPs. We show that the grouping provided is viable and provides benefits to all vehicles participating in the platoon.

description: Two methods to treat wave breaking in the framework of the Hamiltonian formulation of free-surface potential flow are presented, tested, and validated. The first is an extension of Kennedy et al (2000)'s eddy-viscosity approach originally developed for Boussinesq-type wave models. In this approach, an extra term, constructed to conserve the horizontal momentum for waves propagating over a flat bottom, is added in the dynamic free-surface condition. In the second method, a pressure distribution is introduced at the free surface that dissipates wave energy by analogy to a hydraulic jump (Guignard and Grilli, 2001). The modified Hamiltonian systems are implemented using the Hamiltonian Coupled-Mode Theory, in which the velocity potential is represented by a rapidly convergent vertical series expansion. Wave energy dissipation and conservation of horizontal momentum are verified numerically. Comparisons with experimental measurements are presented for the propagation of a breaking dispersive shock wave following a dam break, and then incident regular waves breaking on a mildly sloping beach and over a submerged bar.

India is the largest producer and consumer of the crop. However, there is growing interest to produce the crop by other countries including the United States. The focus of this study was to examine the role of row spacing on yield. Using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) it was found that spacing affects yield. That is, the more the spacing the more the yield.

description: One of the key challenges that small farmers face is marketing their products. National and international markets are difficult to tap into for small farmers due to their inability to compete with large farm operators that dominate these markets. The objective of this study was to examine marketing channels used by small Tennessee Farmers. A mail survey was sent to 250 selected small farmers in Tennessee. Ninety-two completed responses, representing about 37% response rate, were received. Over half of the farmers had off farm employment. Preliminary analysis showed that 40% used direct marketing; 23% wholesalers; 16% retailers; 14% cooperatives and 4% contract. More educated farmers tended to avoid middlemen. Farmers operating animal enterprises appear to use middlemen more compared to crop producers. This may be due to feed and other costs involved in maintaining animals. Farmers working off farm tended to use middlemen due to time constraint. Farmers that took risk chose direct marketing reflecting their willingness to accept lower profit if sales do not go as planned. The use of cooperatives is limited indicating that its formation and growth is dependent on mutual trust among the members. The use of contract by a very small percent of farmers may be a reflection of the challenge that small farmers face in generating large volume of their products on a sustained basis which is usually demanded by buyers.

description: This research compares the attitudes of consumers in the United States, Italy and Japan toward food characteristics. The U.S. and Japanese consumers had relatively positive attitudes toward genetically modified food, while the Italian consumer had relatively negative attitudes. The Italian consumer was least likely to be familiar with genetically modified food. They rated organic higher than the U.S. consumer and they appeared to understand the meaning of the term organic better than the U.S. consumers. The U.S. and Japanese consumers were more concerned with freshness and value while the Italian consumers were concerned about the environment and local food.

description: We explore CdTe fractional monolayer quantum dots (QDs) in a ZnCdSe host matrix for potential application in an intermediate band solar cell device. Careful consideration has been taken during the initiation of the growth process of QDs by migration enhanced epitaxy, in order to avoid the formation of undesirable interfacial layers that can form due to the lack of common anion between the two materials. A superlattice structure of 100 periods of alternating QD and spacer layers is analyzed by high resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescent (PL) spectroscopy. Simple arguments are used following continuum elastic theory to deduce the size of the dots and the strain within the superlattice from XRD data. This is further verified using PL and used in the energy calculations that yield the values of the intermediate band energy. The results suggest that the optimized materials are highly suitable for these high efficiency solar cells.
Appearance and Stability of Anomalously Fluctuating States in Shor's Factoring Algorithm

Year: 2003

description: We analyze quantum computers which perform Shor's factoring algorithm, paying attention to asymptotic properties as the number L of qubits is increased. Using numerical simulations and a general theory of the stabilities of many-body quantum states, we show the following: Anomalously fluctuating states (AFSs), which have anomalously large fluctuations of additive operators, appear in various stages of the computation. For large L, they decohere at anomalously great rates by weak noises that simulate noises in real systems. Decoherence of some of the AFSs is fatal to the results of the computation, whereas decoherence of some of the other AFSs does not have strong influence on the results of the computation. When such a crucial AFS decoheres, the probability of getting the correct computational result is reduced approximately proportional to L^2. The reduction thus becomes anomalously large with increasing L, even when the coupling constant to the noise is rather small. Therefore, quantum computations should be improved in such a way that all AFSs appearing in the algorithms do not decohere at such great rates in the existing noises.

Remarks. Sworder (1925) mentioned a juvenile G. borneensis (= G. bellii, see Denzer & Manthey 1991) at the Raffles Museum (ZRC 2.887) collected in Singapore by Saunders in 1922. Examination of this specimen revealed that it actually is Aphaniotis fusca. Referencing Sworder’s (1925) record, Smith (1930) asserted that the locality is most certainly erroneous, given that G. bellii inhabits elevated forests near broad streams (Grismer 2011), precluding its presence in Singapore.

description: Freight transportation is a dynamic part of a country's economy and yield positive dimensions on GDP. This paper discusses the problems that why intelligent freight transportation, a prerequisite for the regional or international evolution and development, is relatively missing from the mainstream economic geography of Pakistan. This paper discusses the possible scenario-based impediments which hinder the intelligent operations of freight transportation in the region. The core scenario-based impediments discussed in this paper include; State Fleet Policy (SFP), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Infrastructure Management Systems (IMS), and City Logistics (CL). The role of the most direct key factors along with their negative projections on impact areas impeding smart transportation logistics are also highlighted in this research. For future research, these implications will also be validated via expert surveys or a Delphi-analysis.
Impact of Galactic Interactions on the Evolution of the Far-Infrared-Radio Correlation

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: A strong correlation has been known to exist between the far-infrared (FIR) and radio emission of the star-forming galaxies. Observations have shown that although scatter is present, this correlation holds over a range of redshifts and does not evolve. However, there has been a number of more recent observations, especially in higher redshift surveys, indicating the opposite. The question that then presents itself is - what is driving this evolution? In this work we explore the possibility that the answer might be hiding in galactic interactions and revealed by morphology. We present a number of models based on the evolving number of galaxies of different morphological types, some of which could potentially explain observed trends and scatter in general. Furthermore, we analyze a small sample of 34 submillimeter galaxies whose observations have been published and morphology classified. In this sample we look at the FIR-radio correlation separately in galaxies of different morphological types. We find that, while for both disk and irregular star-forming galaxies there are hints of evolution of this correlation with redshift, where this evolution appears to be stronger in irregular galaxies, due to low number statistics, both samples are also consistent with no evolution, making it at this point, difficult to discriminate between models. However, when analysis was performed on the combined sample, evolving and decreasing trend was indeed found, indicating, that evolution should be expected in at least one of the morphological types.

description: In order to evaluate the performance of China's agricultural listed companies, we analyze the overall efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of China's agricultural listed companies on the basis of input-output data concerning 34 agricultural listed companies, using BCC model in data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. Then we analyze input-output redundancy situation using the slack variable derived from the model. The results show that the overall efficiency of China's agricultural listed companies is good, and the gap in efficiency between sub-industries is small; there is significant difference in performance between listed companies engaged in the same sub-industry, and the reason for invalid DEA in companies within the industry is complex; total assets and asset-liability ratio are high, and the effective output is not fully realized. Finally corresponding recommendations are put forward for promoting the performance of agricultural listed companies as follows: strengthening brand awareness; promoting the level of production technology; adjusting the input structure; transforming the agricultural growth mode.

description: This paper aimed at obtaining cross-linked polymeric materials of biomass origin. For this purpose one-pot polyesterification of methyl ricinoleate and methyl 12-hydroxystearate using titanium isopropoxide as a catalyst has been performed leading to polyesters known as estolides. The obtained estolides were successfully cross-linked using dicumyl peroxide or a sulfur vulcanization system. The so-formed bio-based elastomers appeared to exhibit promising properties. The latter were analyzed by mechanical tensile tests and thermal techniques (TGA, DSC, DMA) and showed high thermal stability (T5% = 205-318 {\textdegree}C) and tailored physico-mechanical properties (low glass transition temperature in the range from-2 69 to-54 {\textdegree}C) and good tensile strength (0.11-0.40 MPa). Networks prepared from high molecular weight estolides appear to be promising bio-based elastomers. Practical applications : The vegetable oil-based estolides described in this contribution, are new fully bio-based precursors for further elastomers synthesis. The resulting estolide networks (obtained by peroxide or sulfur cross-linking) exhibit tailored thermo-mechanical properties.

description: Plant biostimulants are commercial products based on different chemical substances used to enhance plant growth and productivity. The effects of biostimulants, Megafol and Viva, with different dominant compositions (amino acids and humic acids) on two tomato cultivars (cv. Gravitet F1 and cv. Minaret F1) exposed to conventional and low-input macronutrient nutrition were investigated. Application of both biostimulants positively affected yield at conventional nutrition. In low-input nutrition variant, biostimulant application prevented yield loss only in cv. Minaret F1. Inter-cultivar differences were noticed in fruit characteristics (total phenol content, total flavonoids content and total antioxidative capacity) where application of biostimulants leads to opposite results in the examined cultivars. We considered the possibility of biostimulant usage as an effective nutritional addition for overcoming the problem of excessive fertilisation.

description: Based on theoretical analysis of crop risk and premium rate setting, we take the case of premium rate setting of insurance on cotton yield per unit area in Shache County, Shaya County and Aksu City of Xinjiang. Using parametric methods and insurance actuarial technique, we select the optimal model for risk fitting of cotton yield per unit area in three areas; compare the premium rate calculated accurately under four risk distribution assumptions of cotton yield per unit area, and the rational premium rate, to analyze the impact of risk distribution of crop yield per unit area on premium rate setting. The empirical results show that the Logistic distribution is the optimal distribution for risk fitting of cotton yield per unit area in three areas; the rational net premium rate of cotton insurance in three areas is 7.62%, 6.32% and 4.96%, respectively; there are errors in premium rate setting under assumptions of normal distribution, normalized skew distribution and Weibull distribution, ranging from 0.2 percentage points to 8 percentage points. Thus, it indicates that the selection of risk distribution model of yield per unit area directly affects the accuracy of premium rate setting of crops, and the key to accurate premium rate setting of crops lies in correct selection of risk distribution model of yield .

description: Using a spin-only model, we compute spin excitation spectra in a bond-centered stripe state with long-range magnetic order. We employ a bond operator formalism, which naturally captures both dimerization and broken spin symmetry in a unified framework. At low energies, the spin excitations resemble spin waves, but at higher energies they are very similar to spin-1 excitations of isolated spin ladders. Our theory does well describe neutron scattering data [J. M. Tranquada et al., Nature 429, 534 (2004)] on LaBaCuO, pointing towards bond order in this material.

description: This article first analyzes the status quo of industrial development of cold water fishes in Henan Province. And then it points out the main problems in the process of fish industrialization as follows: the parent fish rearing of cold water fishes and the supply of roe and fry are inadequate; the demand for feed nutrition, research and development of disease prevention and control technology lag behind. In order to provide scientific basis for promoting the industrial independent innovation and international competitiveness, finally the following ideas and recommendations for industrial development of cold water fishes are put forward: strengthening policy support for the enterprises, and striving to create the leading enterprises, to achieve dramatic development; implementing the strategy of developing fishery by relying on science and technology, promoting the industrial independent innovation and competitiveness; creating specialized cooperative organizations, actively improving the supporting system, and expanding the space for development of the industry.

description: Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (ESRGAN) is a perceptual-driven approach for single image super resolution that is able to produce photorealistic images. Despite the visual quality of these generated images, there is still room for improvement. In this fashion, the model is extended to further improve the perceptual quality of the images. We have designed a novel block to replace the one used by the original ESRGAN. Moreover, we introduce noise inputs to the generator network in order to exploit stochastic variation. The resulting images present more realistic textures. The code is available at https://github.com/ncarraz/ESRGANplus .

description: Tamarix karakalensis var. scoparia Freyn (1903: 1062).
Lectotype (First step: Baum, 1966, Monogr. Rev. Gen. Tamarix: 62. Second step: designated here):— TÜRKMENISTAN. “ P. Sintenis: Iter transcaspico persicum 1900–1901. Nº 646 b.

VII. 1900. determ. J. Freyn. ” (G-00359282!).
 Notes:― Tamarix karakalensis var. scoparia was described based on the Sintenis 646b collection (Freyn, 1903: 1062). Baum (1966: 62) reported that the holotype was kept at G. As it was explained in the case of T. askabadensis, Baum’s typification must prevail (Artt. 7.9, and 7.10 of the ICN), but the use of the term “ holotype ” has to be corrected to “ lectotype ” (Art. 9.9 of the ICN). However, two vouchers of Sintenis 646b are kept at G, and some additional ones are known to be conserved at LD, P and W, they all being syntypes (Art. 9.5 of the ICN). Hence the selection of lectotype has to be narrowed to one of the specimens at G (Art. 9.17 of the ICN), since none of them is clearly marked as holotype. Therefore, the voucher G00359282 is here selected as lectotype, since it is well conserved. Any other copy of Sintenis 646b must be considered as isolectotype. In our opinion the phenotypic variability of the nominal variety completely includes that of var. scoparia. We agree with Baum (1966: 33) in synonymizing the names.

Severe constraints on Loop-Quantum-Gravity energy-momentum dispersion relation from black-hole area-entropy law

description: We explore a possible connection between two aspects of Loop Quantum Gravity which have been extensively studied in the recent literature: the black-hole area-entropy law and the energy-momentum dispersion relation. We observe that the original Bekenstein argument for the area-entropy law implicitly requires information on the energy-momentum dispersion relation. Recent results show that in first approximation black-hole entropy in Loop Quantum Gravity depends linearly on the area, with small correction terms which have logarithmic or inverse-power dependence on the area. Preliminary studies of the Loop-Quantum-Gravity dispersion relation reported some evidence of the presence of terms that depend linearly on the Planck length, but we observe that this possibility is excluded since it would require, for consistency, a contribution to black-hole entropy going like the square root of the area.

Reconstructing the primordial power spectrum

description: We reconstruct the shape of the primordial power spectrum from the latest cosmic microwave background data, including the new results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), and large scale structure data from the two degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). We tested four parameterizations taking into account the uncertainties in four cosmological parameters. First we parameterize the initial spectrum by a tilt and a running spectral index, finding marginal evidence for a running spectral index only if the first three WMAP multipoles (ell=2,3,4) are included in the analysis. Secondly, to investigate further the low CMB large scale power, we modify the conventional power-law spectrum by introducing a scale above which there is no power. We find a preferred position of the cut at k_c ~ 3e-4 /Mpc although k_c=0 (no cut) is not ruled out. Thirdly we use a model independent parameterization, with 16 bands in wavenumber, and find no obvious sign of deviation from a power law spectrum on the scales investigated. Furthermore the values of the other cosmological parameters defining the model remain relatively well constrained despite the freedom in the shape of the initial power spectrum. Finally we investigate a model motivated by double inflation, in which the power spectrum has a break between two characteristic wavenumbers. We find that if a break is required to be in the range 0.01 < k Mpc <0.1 then the ratio of amplitudes across the break is constrained to be 1.23 +/- 0.14. Our results are consistent with a power law spectrum that is featureless and close to scale invariant over the wavenumber range 0.005 ~< k Mpc ~< 0.15, with a hint of a decrease in power on the largest scales.

Variations on KamLAND: likelihood analysis and frequentist confidence regions

description: In this letter the robustness of the first results from the KamLAND reactor neutrino experiment with respect to variations in the statistical analysis is considered. It is shown that an event-by-event based likelhood analysis provides a more powerful tool to extract information from the currently available data sample than a least-squares method based on energy binned data. Furthermore, a frequentist analysis of KamLAND data is performed. Confidence regions with correct coverage in the plane of the oscillation parameters are calculated by means of a Monte Carlo simulation. I find that the results of the usually adopted $χ^2$-cut approximation are in reasonable agreement with the exact confidence regions, however, quantitative differences are detected. Finally, although the current data is consistent with an energy independent flux suppression, a $\sim 2σ$ indication in favour of oscillations can be stated, implying quantum mechanical interference over distances of the order of 200 km.
