description: SUMMARY - This paper makes use of an agricultural sector model to analyse welfare effects derived from different national implementation options of the CAP Reform 2003. It shows that agricultural prices developed more favourable in a full premium decoupling scenario, since agricultural production declines more pronounced compared to a partial decoupling scenario. The use of the partial decoupling mechanism helps Member States to distribute income into less favoured areas but is not the optimal policy choice. However, if other Member States follow the same path of reform, a "prisoner's dilemma" will most likely be observed: partial decoupling appears as the preferred option for individual Member States, since high domestic production and high producer prices would be expected, but this would lead to welfare losses for consumers and taxpayers. -- Este trabajo modeliza los efectos en el bienestar económico derivados de distintas op-ciones de desacoplamiento de las primas contenidas en la reforma de la Política Agraria Común apro-bada tras los Acuerdos de Luxemburgo en 2003. Se observa como bajo un escenario de pleno desaco-plamiento, los precios agrarios evolucionan más favorablemente que bajo un desacoplamiento parcial debido a una caída de la producción más pronunciada. El uso del mecanismo de desacoplamiento par-cial permite a los estados miembros mantener determinados cultivos en zonas marginales, lo que resul-ta en una solución no óptima. Si los demás países siguieran el mismo camino de reforma, podría surgir un problema tipo "dilema del prisionero". La opción de desacoplamiento parcial aparecería como la opción preferida desde el punto de vista individual al asegurar una mayor producción doméstica y altos precios de producción. No obstante, a nivel agregado, el resultado sería una reducción de renta de consumidores y contribuyentes. PALABRAS CLAVE: Política Agraria Común, análisis de equilibrio parcial, modelización, desaco-plamiento, análisis de bienestar.

description: Before-and-after impact studies were selected as the means of determining the effect of reconstructing a 4.886 mile (7.862 kilometer) section of US 25E between Corbin and Barbourville. A comprehensive analysis of the "before" statistics revealed the area designated as a potential growth center suffered from social and economic mediocrity. Many characteristics considered essential for economic prosperity are lacking. Per capita income and educational achievement levels are lower than statewide averages. Transportation is dependent upon highways and many existing routes provide a very low level of service.  On the other hand, the area has adequate industrial and recreational potential to insure economic growth when the appropriate factors are combined. It was hypothesized that reconstruction of the section of highway would encourage economic growth and provide a general upgrading of the standard of living in the area. This could be the first step in reversing the basic out-migration problem and would, in the long run, create a means for encouraging a more balanced population pattern in the urbanized sections of the nation.

description: Cone penetrations tests were performed on the silty clays of Kentucky, U.S.A., using a boring rig to push the Dutch, friction sleeve, cone penetrometer. Thin-walled tube samples were taken from nearby boreholes. For the first four sites, unconfined compression tests and unconsolidated-undrained triaxial test were performed on the samples. For the last four sites, consolidated-undrained triaxial tests were performed on the samples. A procedure for estimating in situ shear strength from triaxial test stress paths was developed.  Small rock fragments in these residual soils caused erratic cone resistance at many locations. As a result, the friction sleeve resistance provided the best correlation with in situ shear strength. In situ shear strength was found to be approximately 80 percent of the friction sleeve resistance, which confirms the findings of others.

description: El concepto de multifuncionalidad agraria supone el reconocimiento de la provisión conjunta de bienes y servicios de tipo económico, social y medioambiental. Con el objeto de hacer operativo este concepto para el diseño de políticas públicas es necesario estimar la demanda social de estas funciones. En este contexto, el presente trabajo supone una aplicación empírica de esta idea teniendo como caso de estudio el olivar andaluz de montaña. La valoración económica de las funciones no comerciales más relevantes de este sistema agrario se ha llevado a cabo utilizando los experimentos de elección. Según los resultados obtenidos, existe una contribución al bienestar social de cada uno de los atributos analizados, siendo el mantenimiento de la población en el medio rural y la lucha contra la erosión los dos atributos mejor valorados, seguidos por la provisión de un paisaje de calidad y la seguridad alimentaria. Por último, estos mismos resultados evidencian igualmente cómo esta valoración es heterogénea, dependiendo de las características socioeconómicas de los individuos. Palabras clave: Multifuncionalidad agraria, valoración económica, experimentos de elección, olivar de montaña, Andalucía. ABSTRACT Agricultural multifunctionality is the recognition of the joint exercise of economic, environmental and social functions by this sector. In order to make this concept operative for the design of public policies, it is necessary to estimate the social demand for such functions. The main objective of this article is to present an empirical application in this line. For this purpose we have taken the agricultural system of mountain olive groves in Andalusia (Southern Spain) at risk of abandonment after the decoupling of the EU subsidies as a case study. The economic valuation technique used is the Choice Experiment. According to the results, there is a different contribution of each attribute to the improvement of the Society level of utility. Thus, and taking into account its WTP for each attribute, keeping rural population in their villages and fighting soil erosion seem to be the most valued functions by Andalusian citizens. It follows the improvement of the visual quality of the rural landscapes and the reduction of food residuals. Finally, although the results suggest a significant demand for the different functions, this demand is heterogeneous, depending on the socio-economic characteristics of the individuals.

description: Before-and-after impact studies were selected as the means of determining the effect of reconstructing a 4.813-mile (7.744-kilometer) section of KY 55 between Campbellsville and Lebanon. The area, though still depressed in terms of per capita income and employment, has many resources available for growth. The study area is predominantly an agriculturally-oriented economy. However, manufacturing employment has increased in recent years, mainly because of industrial sites made available by local industrial commissions.  Overall, social services appear to be adequate and very near statewide averages. Recreational facilities are not highly developed and are primarily of the summer outdoor type.  Reconstruction of KY 55 could bring about economic growth which may affect the standard of living within the target area. Increased accessibility and attractiveness of the area could increase the rural-to-urban population ratio which has been adversely unbalanced by the migration from rural to urban areas.

description: Bloch oscillations in small Josephson junctions were predicted theoretically as the quantum dual to Josephson oscillations. A significant consequence of this prediction is the emergence of quantized current steps, so-called dual Shapiro steps, when synchronizing Bloch oscillations to an external microwave signal. These steps potentially enable a fundamental standard of current $I$, defined via the frequency $f$ of the external signal and the elementary charge $e$, $I=\pm n \times 2ef$, where $n$ is a natural number. Here, we realize this fundamental relation by synchronizing the Bloch oscillations in small Al/AlO$_\mathrm{x}$/Al Josephson junctions to sinusoidal drives with frequencies varying from $1$ to $6\:\mathrm{GHz}$ and observe dual Shapiro steps up to $I\approx 3 \: \mathrm{nA}$. Inspired by today's voltage standards and to further confirm the duality relation, we investigate a pulsed drive regime, which is dual to the single flux quantum mode of Josephson oscillations, and observe a similar asymmetric pattern of dual Shapiro steps. This work confirms quantum duality effects in Josephson junctions and paves the way towards a range of applications in quantum metrology based on well-established fabrication techniques and straightforward circuit design.

description: This paper analyses the changing competence requirements which members of the food chain face in their pursuit of competitive advantage. Two groups of trends serve as point of departure: more dynamic and heterogeneous consumer demands, which can be analysed in terms of consumer demands for sensory, health, process and convenience qualities, and changing roles for retailers in the food chain. Based on these trends, it is argued that competencies which can increase producers' level of market orientation get increased weight in the attainment of competitive advantage, and three types of competencies are singled out as especially important: consumer understanding, relationship management, and new product development. The development of market-related competencies aimed at exploiting trends in consumer behaviour and retailing will also entail changing forms of cooperation among members of the value chain, which favour both new ways of adding value but also new ways of matching consumer heterogeneity with heterogeneity in agricultural raw materials.

description: We consider linear cosmological perturbations on the background of a D-brane gas in which the compact dimensions and the dilaton are stabilized. We focus on long wavelength fluctuations and find that there are no instabilities. In particular, the perturbation of the internal space performs damped oscillations and decays in time. Therefore, the stabilization mechanism based on D-brane gases in string theory remains valid in the presence of linearized inhomogeneities.

description: The obscuration observed in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is mainly caused by dust and gas distributed in a torus-like structure surrounding the supermassive black hole (SMBH). However, properties of the obscuring torus of the AGN in X-ray have not been fully investigated yet due to the lack of high-quality data and proper models. In this work, we perform a broadband X-ray spectral analysis of a large, unbiased sample of obscured AGN (with line-of-sight column density 23$\le$log(NH)$\le$24) in the nearby universe which has high-quality archival NuSTAR data. The source spectra are analyzed using the recently developed borus02 model, which enables us to accurately characterize the physical and geometrical properties of AGN obscuring tori. We also compare our results obtained from the unbiased Compton thin AGN with those of Compton-thick AGN. We find that Compton thin and Compton-thick AGN may possess similar tori, whose average column density is Compton thick (N$\rm _{H,tor,ave}$ $\sim$1.4$\times$10$^{24}$ cm$^{-2}$), but they are observed through different (under-dense or over-dense) regions of the tori. We also find that the obscuring torus medium is significantly inhomogeneous, with the torus average column densities significantly different from their line-of-sight column densities (for most of the sources in the sample). The average torus covering factor of sources in our unbiased sample is c$_f$=0.67, suggesting that the fraction of unobscured AGN is $\sim$33%. We develop a new method to measure the intrinsic line-of-sight column density distribution of AGN in the nearby universe, which we find the result is in good agreement with the constraints from recent population synthesis models.

description: Abstract

An anti-diabetic drug called Repaglinide is used to treat type II diabetes. Repaglinide, a lipophilic medication with a short (1 h) half-life and little solubility in water is classified as a class II biopharmaceutical chemical (BCS) chemical. Only around 55% of drugs with a high metabolism in the first pass are bioavailable orally. Repaglinide's half-life is one hour, and because of first-pass metabolism, it is 56% bioavailable in the body. Repaglinide requires frequent dosage because its total daily dose is 16 mg (e.g., 4 mg four times day depending on meal patterns). Repaglinide transdermal patches were created to maintain medication release, enhance drug bioavailability, and increase patient compliance Transdermal patch of Repaglinide was prepared to sustain the release and improve bioavailability of drug and patient compliance. Different formulations were prepared by varying the grades of HPMC and concentration of PVP K30 by solvent casting method. The prepared formulations were evaluated for various parameters like thickness, tensile strength, folding endurance, % elongation, % moisture content, % moisture uptake, % drug content, in vitro drug release, in vitro permeation, and drug excipient compatibility.

description: Trapped atomic ions are natural candidates for quantum information processing and have the potential to realize or improve quantum computing, sensing, and networking. These applications often require the collection of individual photons emitted from ions into guided optical modes, in some cases for the production of entanglement between separated ions. Proof-of-principle demonstrations of such photon collection from trapped ions have been performed using high-numerical-aperture lenses or cavities and single-mode fibers, but integrated photonic elements in ion-trap structures offer advantages in scalability and manufacturabilty over traditional optics. In this paper we analyze structures monolithically fabricated with an ion trap for collecting ion-emitted photons, coupling them into waveguides, and manipulating them via interference. We calculate geometric limitations on collection efficiency for this scheme, simulate a single-layer grating that shows performance comparable to demonstrated free-space optics, and discuss practical fabrication and fidelity considerations. Based on this analysis, we conclude that integrated photonics can support scalable systems of trapped-ions that can distribute quantum information via photon-mediated entanglement.

description: We analyze a composite Higgs model based on the confining $SU(3)$ gauge theory with $N_f = 8$ Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. This gauge theory has been studied on the lattice and shown to be well described by a dilaton effective field theory (EFT). Here we modify the EFT by assigning standard-model quantum numbers such that four of the composite pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) fields form the standard-model Higgs doublet, by coupling it to the top quark, and by adding to the potential a term that triggers electroweak symmetry breaking. The model contains a pNGB Higgs boson, a set of heavier pNGBs, and an approximate dilaton in the same mass range. We study the phenomenology of the model, and discuss the amount of tuning required to insure consistency with current direct and indirect bounds on new physics, highlighting the role of the dilaton field.

In particular, we give explicit results for spectral, combinatorial and asymptotic properties in terms of Dirichlet series generating functions.

description: Commodity prices in general are known to have a high volatility. This is in fact what attracts speculators. The South African futures exchange (SAFEX) is not immune to this volatility. Volatility increases the risk of paying higher prices for a specific commodity, and it also makes the use of derivative instruments to hedge against price risk more expensive. Given the importance of South Africa as a regional supplier of maize and price discovery mechanism, investigations into the volatility of the maize price are not only important, but also indispensable if all parties involved are to manage this risk. The question therefore is whether the SAFEX maize price volatility can be explained by using fundamental factors or whether this volatility is unexplainably high.

description: We study the selective and robust time-optimal rotation control of several spin-1/2 particles with different offset terms. For that purpose, the Pontryagin Maximum Principle is applied to a model of two spins, which is simple enough for analytic computations and sufficiently complex to describe inhomogeneity effects. We find that selective and robust controls are respectively described by singular and regular trajectories. Using a geometric analysis combined with numerical simulations, we determine the optimal solutions of different control problems. Selective and robust controls can be derived analytically without numerical optimization. We show the optimality of several standard control mechanisms in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, but new robust controls are also designed.

Measurement and analysis of the in-plane electrodynamics of Y Ba2Cu3O6.993 at microwave frequencies
Creators: name: Harris, Richard Graydon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Measurements of the electromagnetic absorption in ultra high purity YBa₂Cu₃O₆.₉₉₃ at a frequency of 75 GHz are presented. When presented in conjunction with measurements taken at 1, 2, 13 and 22 GHz from other microwave surface impedance experiments performed at UBC, the low temperature data below 20 K reveals a regime which can be characterized by an impurity limited quasiparticle scattering rate and a pure d-wave density of states. This regime is analyzed within two theoretical pictures. A simple two-fluid model with a frequency independent scattering rate can simultaneously match the magnitude of all data sets, but does not account for the observed evolution of the temperature dependence from sublinear in T at 1 GHz to super linear at 75 GHz. A generalized BCS formalism with isotropic elastic point scattering does provide the correct curvature, but in order to do so it requires a frequency dependent one body scattering rate function that cannot be derived from within the isotropic point scattering picture.

X-ray computed tomography for performing polymer gel dosimetry : a feasibility study
Creators: name: Hilts, Michelle Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Radiation therapy treatment of cancer is increasingly concerned with delivering dose distributions that conform to the tumour volume. For verification of treatment planning computer dose calculations, these conformal therapies demand an accurate, sensitive, high resolution three dimensional (3D) dosimeter. Polymer gels are novel, inherently 3D, tissue equivalent radiation dosimeters. Traditionally, dose distributions recorded in polymer gel are read out using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Presented here is a feasibility study on a new 3D dosimetry technique that uses x-ray computed tomography (CT) to read dosimetric information from polymer gels. The technique exploits a gel density change that occurs in response to ionizing radiation. This study has three main goals: 1) to develop a protocol for producing quality CT polymer gel images; 2) to evaluate the nature and reproducibility of the dosimeter's CT number (JVcr)-dose response; and 3) to compare this technique with MRI polymer gel dosimetry. A quantitative discussion of the density changes occurring in the gel in response to ionization radiation is also provided. Experiments are conducted using a PAG (polyacrylamide and gelatin) gel dosimeter irradiated with four intersecting 10 M V photon beams. The NCT -dose response is found to be linear and reproducible over the range of 200 to 1OOOcGy. At room temperature the response is (8.7 ± 0.3)xl0⁻³ NCT/cGy resulting in a limited dose resolution, - 100 cGy. Gel temperature during imaging is determined to have only a small effect, 0.3%/°C, on the dose response. Spatial resolution is 0.5 mm in the image plane and 10mm-1mm (depending on noise requirements) in the third dimension. Despite the low dose resolution, preliminary results indicate this technique provides accurate localization of high dose regions and, given the availability and speed of CT imaging, has the potential to be a valuable and practical tool for radiation therapy clinics.

description: Using a data set collected in eight districts of Uganda, this study investigates how investment in soil fertility management (SFM) and conservation practices may affect natural resource outcomes, particularly the extent and level of soil erosion and soil nutrient loss. The study used ordered probit models and the results suggest that investment in SFM and conservation practices greatly improves soil fertility and reduces soil erosion. From a policy perspective, public investment to encourage use of SFM and conservation technologies would help the country achieve sustainable agricultural production.

description: The radiative neutron capture rates for isotopes of astrophysical interest are commonly calculated within the statistical Hauser-Feshbach reaction model. Such an approach, assuming a high level density in the compound system, can be questioned in light and neutron-rich nuclei for which only a few or no resonant states are available. Therefore, in this work we focus on the direct neutron-capture process. We employ a shell-model approach in several model spaces with well-established effective interactions to calculate spectra and spectroscopic factors in a set of 50 neutron-rich target nuclei in different mass regions, including doubly-, semi-magic and deformed ones. Those theoretical energies and spectroscopic factors are used to evaluate direct neutron capture rates and to test global theoretical models using average spectroscopic factors and level densities based on the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov plus combinatorial method. The comparison of shell-model and global model results reveals several discrepancies that can be related to problems in level densities. All the results show however that the direct capture is non-negligible with respect to the by-default Hauser-Feshbach predictions and can be even 100 times more important for the most neutron-rich nuclei close to the neutron drip line.

description: Jet interactions in a hot QCD medium created in heavy-ion collisions are conventionally assessed by measuring the modification of the distributions of jet observables with respect to the proton-proton baseline. However, the steeply falling production spectrum introduces a strong bias toward small energy losses that obfuscates a direct interpretation of the impact of medium effects in the measured jet ensemble. Modern machine learning techniques offer the potential to tackle this issue on a jet-by-jet basis. In this paper, we employ a convolutional neural network (CNN) to diagnose such modifications from jet images where the training and validation is performed using the hybrid strong/weak coupling model. By analyzing measured jets in heavy-ion collisions, we extract the original jet transverse momentum, i.e., the transverse momentum of an identical jet that did not pass through a medium, in terms of an energy loss ratio. Despite many sources of fluctuations, we achieve good performance and put emphasis on the interpretability of our results. We observe that the angular distribution of soft particles in the jet cone and their relative contribution to the total jet energy contain significant discriminating power, which can be exploited to tailor observables that provide a good estimate of the energy loss ratio. With a well-predicted energy loss ratio, we study a set of jet observables to estimate their sensitivity to bias effects and reveal their medium modifications when compared to a more equivalent jet population, i.e., a set of jets with similar initial energy. Finally, we also show the potential of deep learning techniques in the analysis of the geometrical aspects of jet quenching such as the in-medium traversed length or the position of the hard scattering in the transverse plane, opening up new possibilities for tomographic studies.

description: We analyze the H-alpha spectral variability of the rapidly-rotating K1-dwarf LQ Hya using high-resolution H-alpha spectra recorded during April-May 2000. Chromospheric parameters were computed from the H-alpha profile as a function of rotational phase. We find that all these parameters vary in phase, with a higher chromospheric electron density coinciding with the maximum H-alpha emission. We find a clear rotational modulation of the H-alpha emission that is better emphasized by subtracting a reference photospheric template built up with a spectrum of a non-active star of the same spectral type. A geometrical plage model applied to the H-alpha variation curve allows us to derive the location of the active regions that come out to be close in longitude to the most pronounced photospheric spots found with Doppler imaging applied to the photospheric lines in the same spectra. Our analysis suggests that the H-alpha features observed in LQ Hya in 2000 are a scaled-up version of the solar plages as regards dimensions and/or flux contrast. No clear indication of chromospheric mass motions emerges.

description: This study identifies sources of risk that commercial sugarcane farmers in the province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa, presently perceive to pose the greatest threat to the viability of their businesses. Sugarcane contributes approximately 82% of the income from field crops in KZN, with 72% of the crop planted by large-scale growers. Data obtained in 2006 via structured personal interviews of 76 large-scale sugarcane farmers from a stratified random sample of 110 farmers in two separate mill-supply areas of KZN were used to elicit farmers perceptions of various sources of risk. The most important risk sources were found to be the threat posed by land reform, minimum wage legislation and the variability of the sugar price, in that order. Land reform and minimum wage legislation did not feature prominently in past studies of KZN farmers during the 1990s. Factor analysis identified additional risk dimensions that exist within the remaining risk sources. Regional differences between the two study areas were also evident. Recommendations include that government improve accessibility to information regarding future plans for land and labour policies, and that farmers become more proactive in terms of obtaining information to reduce uncertainty and resultant efficiency barriers.

Secure land rental contracts and agricultural investment in two communal areas of KwaZulu-Natal

description: This study tests the hypothesis that an efficient rental market for cropland is a significant determinant of agricultural investment in the communal areas of KwaZulu-Natal. An efficient rental market creates an opportunity cost for under-utilisation, which tends to transfer resources to more effective users. The efficiency of a rental market is compromised by the presence of transaction costs that reduce returns for both lessees and lessors. Transaction costs include risk arising from a possible breach of the rental contract. Potential losses caused by a breach of contract can be reduced by introducing a credible third-party to witness the contract. Likewise, moral hazard can be reduced by contracting with trusted persons. Data from household surveys conducted in two communal areas of KwaZulu-Natal were used to estimate a regression model explaining levels of investment in crop production amongst tenant farmers. The results confirm that tenants invest more when they contract with friends or family, and if their contracts are formally witnessed by a credible third-party. Interventions that reduce potential losses caused by a breach of contract are therefore expected to promote market efficiency and investment in crop production. In the short-run, the Provincial Department of Agriculture should sanction rental contracts negotiated by lessors and lessees. Ultimately, legal reform that leads to predictable contract enforcement in the communal areas is required to improve market efficiency and levels of investment in agriculture.
Relationship between costs for quantum error mitigation and non-Markovian measures

description: Quantum error mitigation (QEM) has been proposed as an alternative method of quantum error correction to compensate errors in quantum systems without qubit overhead. While Markovian gate errors on digital quantum computers have been mainly considered previously, it is indispensable to discuss a relationship between QEM and non-Markovian errors because non-Markovian noise effects inevitably exist in most of the solid-state systems. In this work, we investigate the QEM for non-Markovian noise, and show that there is a clear relationship between costs for QEM and non-Markovian measures. As examples, we show several non-Markovian noise models to bridge a gap between our theoretical framework and concrete physical systems. This discovery may help in designing better QEM strategies for realistic quantum devices with non-Markovian environments.

description: We study the magnetic heat capacity of a series of magnetically ordered Ce-based heavy fermion materials, which show an anomalous $T^3$ heat capacity in excess of the phonon contribution in many materials. For compounds for which magnon models have been worked out, we show that the local-moment magnon heat capacity derived from the measured magnon spectra underestimates the experimental specific heat. The excess heat capacity reveals increasing density of states with increasing energy, akin to a pseudogap. We show that this anomalous temperature-dependent term is not associated with proximity to a quantum critical point (QCP), but is strongly correlated with $T_N$, indicating the anomalous excitations are governed by the magnetic exchange interaction. This insight may hold key information for understanding magnetically ordered heavy fermions.
